Black Indians, Zulus And Congos; Transformation And Transference Of Community Traditions In New Orleans And Panama, Elizabeth Rhodes
Textual Resources
This paper is a comparative study of three traditions that reflect the African diaspora: the Zulus of New Orleans, the black Indians of New Orleans and the Congo ritual of Panama. In all practices, the participant is transformed from citizen/worker/family member into an empowered being whose role is intricately connected to the reinforcement of cultural and community ties. In addition to presenting an overview of each tradition, I will discuss shared themes, parallel characterization, approaches to masking and comment on the interest of established practitioners to transfer their talents and histories to younger members of the community.

Piero Chiara E La Tradizione, Stefano Giannini
Piero Chiara E La Tradizione, Stefano Giannini
Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship
Piero Chiara (Luino 1913- Varese 1986) wrote many novels and short stories that immediately met great public success. Critics devoted mixed attention to him but his works deserve a new critical assessment to analyze the rich and sophisticated web of cultural and literary references that permeate them. Through readings of Il piatto piange, “L’uovo al cianuro” and other novels and short stories, this paper analyses the complex textual relations Chiara entertains with Pirandello’s Il fu Mattia Pascal. Chiara investigates the themes of identity and the double. His narrative depicts an apparently lighthearted reality that in fact reveals despair. …

Bargaining In Two Languages: Conversational Functions Of Transactional Code-Switching, Lotfi Sayahi
Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship
Studies on the pragmatic functions of code-switching, in opposition to its macro sociolinguistic significance or syntactic structure, have been largely influenced by Gumperz's pioneering classification presented in the chapter he dedicated to this topic in his 1982 book, Discourse strategies. Many other taxonomies followed Gumperz's initial proposal (Appel and Muysken 1987, Poplack 1988, Romaine 1989, Heller 1992) in spite of the usually claimed difficulty in interpreting and predicting the exact functions of code-switching in any given bilingual context. Their purpose has been to identify the sociopragmatic motivation for the occurrence of a particular code-switched utterance and ultimately classify it under …

Organizing In The Garment Industry In Mexico: Implications For New Social Movement Theory, Victoria Carty
Sociology Faculty Articles and Research
This paper examines attempts to improve workers' rights in the Maquila Industry in Mexico by using two case studies. It analyzes the struggles that recently occurred at the Kukdong and Duro plants. The underlying question of the research is how to balance the co-existence of market economies with effective means to ensure adequate conditions for workers, and most importantly, ensuring their right to freedom of association. Under recent forms of global economic restructuring, the state is often unwilling or unable to uphold workers' rights. To combat the present form of corporate-driven global capitalism, workers in the South, in solidarity with …

¿Por qué preservamos "ruinas"? ¿Por qué restauramos, reactivamos, exhibimos edificios del pasado? El presupuesto que subyace a este trabajo es que toda restauración constituye siempre una activa apropiación del espacio tanto material como simbólico, y que siempre es intencional, aunque no necesariamente de intención simple o unívoca. Desde un depósito de basura hasta un monumento de orgullo nacional, toda utilización intencional del espacio es también complicada por los modos mediante los cuales una determinada comunidad interactúa con los vestigios de su pasado, restaurados o no. Cuando consideramos el espacio público como recurso, producto y práctica--sensual, social, politica y simbólica--(Remedi, p. …
Similarities And Differences In Perception And Production Of Diphthong Sounds Among Native Speakers Of Spanish And English, Kelley Wilkinson
Similarities And Differences In Perception And Production Of Diphthong Sounds Among Native Speakers Of Spanish And English, Kelley Wilkinson
Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)
This thesis studies the similarities and differences between native speakers of the Spanish and English languages in the pronunciation of diphthong sounds, both the speakers' perception of such sounds as well as the actual sound produced. Two methods were used in determining trends and dissimilarities. Participants were asked to identify how many distinct segments they perceived in each of four test words. The results were then calculated and compared to seek common trends between the languages. The second method of determining similarities and differences involved measuring voice samples from the participants with a spectrograph. The end results were that while …

Reconfiguring Childhood Boys And Girls Growing Up Global, Cindi Katz
Publications and Research
Children are a spur, a commitment, a way of imaging the future—but all too often these sorts of phrases just rattle around a vacuum, their utterance the beginning and end of the commitment. We emphasize “the best interests of the child,”but this gloss provides a moral imperative to all manner of uncompleted projects and unfulfilled policies. Likewise, the use of children’s images or presence in public forums of all types gives a patina of honorableness to practices and plans that never actually make good on the promissory note of childhood. The 1992 Rio Earth Summit is a notable example. Such …
