Phrenology, Physical Anthropology And Ethnology: Nineteenth-Century Race Science And The Foundations Of Eurocentrism, Mckenzie Jayne Leeds

History

This paper explores phrenology, physical anthropology, and ethnology--each a nineteenth-century scientific discipline that significantly influenced racial beliefs. These sciences were integral in forming and perpetuating racial hierarchies and the belief of perceived European superiority. The main goal of this project was to deconstruct the European superiority narrative, and to argue that these disciplines created a network of continued racism.

Silence Over Their Tombs: A Microhistory Of American Perceptions Of Alcoholism In The Late Eighteenth And Early Nineteenth Centuries Using The Adams Family Papers, Lucy Rebecca Wickstrom

History

The perception of alcohol addiction in the United States of America has changed numerous times throughout the nation’s history, with people accepting it as a mere part of life in the colonial era before preachers and thinkers began to denounce it as a vice and a moral failure. The influential writings of respected patriot Dr. Benjamin Rush, however, initiated a fundamental shift in the way that Americans understood alcoholism, as he was the first to make the argument that it was a disease beyond the control of its sufferers. This paper uses the example of the famous Adams family to …

The Holocaust And Human Experimentation: The Nazi Approach To Medicine, Samantha Miller

History

The beginning months of 1945 marked the commencement of the swift downfall of the Nazi regime and the end of the tyrannical, oppressive ruling power it held over most of Europe for close to a decade. As Allied Forces invaded Nazi Germany and the remaining Nazi-occupied territories, they undoubtedly expected to encounter the incredible devastation that World War II had left upon most of the Western European continent, from toppled cities, to separated families, to the rising death toll. However, Allied soldiers would soon have to come face to face with another side-effect of the war, something unforeseen and unimaginable, …

Freedom’S Paradoxes: A Case Study Of The Slave Schooner Julita, Lucy Wickstrom

The Forum: Journal of History

After Great Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807, the British Royal Navy committed one-fifth of its manpower to the cause of capturing other nations’ illegal slave ships. This effort to enforce abolition liberated 250,000 displaced Africans over the course of the nineteenth century and brought the crews that had carried them before officials to have their cases tried. Because of the careful documentation of these cases by the Mixed Commissions, there is a wealth of primary sources detailing the circumstances of these captures and the human beings claimed as cargo. This paper utilizes a case study of one such …

Product Photography For Agricultural Products, Madison Ann Somerday

The E-commerce space is growing and E-commerce is dependent upon product photography. The product photograph is one of the most important elements of an online visual marketing strategy.

Figures De Vulnérabilité Et Résistance Dans Une Si Longue Lettre De Mariama Bâ, Moolaadé D'Ousmane Sembène Et La Grève Des Bàttu D'Aminata Sow Fall, Kasereka Kavwahirehi

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article is about figures of vulnerability and resistance or "vulnerability in resistance" in A so long letter by Mariama Bâ, Moolaade by Ousmane Sembène and La grève des bàttu by Aminata Sow Fall. It aims to show that no one can be locked in their vulnerability. The individual, even the most vulnerable, is always more than his vulnerability that he can mobilize as a resource in the organization of resistance against the institution or the unjust norms of which his vulnerability is the product. If one recongnizes "porosity of the subject with regard to the social", which porosity means …

Généalogie D'Une Banalité De Sinzo Aanza. Le Roman Des Moins-Que-Rien Et Des Héros Médiocres, Justin Bisanswa

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This study looks at vulnerability in its full complexity through an analysis at the interstice of sociology and rhetoric of the book Genealogie d'une banalite by Sinzo Aanza. The inhabitants of the poor neighbourhood of the Bronx decide to overcome their misery by digging under their dwellings, in search of copper to sell to the Chinese. This access to money brings them to relish in certain pleasures. The characters live in an enclosed environment that, through the instability of their representation, becomes the space of multiple enigmas: social, sexual and emotional. These characters provoke a condensation of meaning leading to …

Vulnérabilité Et Isolement Dans Rosie Carpe De Marie Ndiaye, Amélie Michel

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This article focuses on the topic of vulnerability and the ambivalence of the heroine's strategies of resistance in Marie NDiaye's novel Rosie Carpe. The analysis of Rosie's detachment, oblivion and fantasy demonstrates how memory, consciousness and imagination can become areas of resistance in front of an unbearable reality. As a matter of fact, Rosie proposes an inner reconfiguration of the reality which, by its oversights and alterations, gives her the possibility to escape suffering, obligation and sin. This way, she widens the gap with herself and the world in order to protect herself. Paradoxically, this gap condemns her to apathy …

L'Imaginaire À L'Épreuve Du Carcéral : Le Pouvoir Des Mots Dans Cette Fille-Là De Marssa Bey Et La Voyeuse Interdite De Nina Bouraoui, Chedli Jedidi

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

The article analyzes the (re)configuration of space towards female resistance in Cette fille-là by Marssa Bey and La voyeuse interdite by Nina Bouraoui. The two authors portray deviant female characters who refuse to be caught up in the social enclave governed by patriarchal law. In these works, the assertion of identity is interdependent on the unfolding of space which opts for denouncing or liberating the voice, the body and the feminine individuality. By convening the imagination along with the female memory, these marginal identities engage in bending the confinement and freeing the speech. Clothed in presumed fragility and weakness, this …

Monde Étrange/Étranger-Monde : Chant D'Une Heureuse Fragilité Dans Cacophonie De Ken Bugul, Anaïs Metoukson

Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature

This paper analyzes the psychological vulnerability of a wandering and traumatized feminine character in Ken Bugul's novel Cacophonie. It is argued that vulnerability, presented both as a creative and destructive force, is conveyed using an aesthetic of strangeness. Disturbances accumulate on the figurative, event and semantic levels, maintaining an hesitation between supernatural and natural explanations of the narrative process. However, those same troubles also allow a diving into the pain of a lonely spirit. Ultimately, this psychic maze offers a breakaway, given as a consented and redefined fragility. Through the willing choice of death, the never-ending agony of the character …

Review Of La Bella España: El Teatro De Lope De Vega En La Rusia Soviética Y Postsoviética By Veronika Ryjik, Slav N. Gratchev

Modern Languages Faculty Research

There are certain writers whose importance only grows with time, and the longer the distance that separates us from them, the more facets of their genius they demonstrate to us, the readers of the twenty-first century. One of these authors is Lope de Vega. The new book of Veronika Ryjik now makes another major contribution to the scholarship of a great master who was well known and admired in Soviet Russia. It is indeed a serious study and one that fermented in the mind of the scholar for more than ten years – the true symbol of a truly remarkable …

La Cestería De Los Cazadores-Recolectores, Procedente De La Cueva De La Candelaria, Torreón, Coahuila, México, Gloria Martha Sánchez Valenzuela, Alejandra Quintanar Isaías, Ana Jaramillo Pérez

PreColumbian Textile Conference VIII / Jornadas de Textiles PreColombinos VIII (2019)

En 1953 se realiza la primera exploración arqueológica al Norte de la República Mexicana por parte del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), que conformó un grupo interdisciplinario para explorar la Cueva de la Candelaria, ubicada en el Valle de las Delicias en el estado de Coahuila. Esta cueva es una de las más importantes de México, dónde se logró recuperar -gracias a su característica de cueva seca- un vasto patrimonio arqueológico de origen orgánico que nos permite conocer mejor a los grupos de cazadores-recolectores que habitaron la región. Dentro de la gran diversidad de objetos se encontraron un …
