Gentrification Moves To The Global South: An Analysis Of The Programa De Rescate, A Neoliberal Urban Policy In México City's Centro Histórico, David M. Walker

University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation argues that urban neoliberal programs currently formulating in the Global South are unprecedented in historical México as well as in examined practices of gentrification and globalization. In this dissertation I specifically focus on the Programa de Rescate – an urban policy being amassed in México City’s Centro Histórico as a nexus of processes of gentrification, neoliberalization, and globalization. This work re-theorizes how gentrification functions when it is implemented in the Global South – as the neoliberalization of space.

The Politics Of Vodou: Aids, Access To Health Care And The Use Of Culture In Haiti, Catherine Benoît

Anthropology Faculty Publications

During the past few years, the AIDS campaign in Haiti has been targeting Vodou officiants and organizations. These awareness and training programmes in- form officiants about the transmission and prevention of AIDS, tests for HIV and anti- retroviral drugs, or even try to encourage them to become involved in a medical referral system. These culturalist interventions are grounded in an essentialist concept of culture that can have harmful effects on the targeted groups. The concept of culture underlying such interventions is deconstructed along with the categories of tradi- tional medicine and the ‘tradipractitioner’. An approach to public health is advocated …

Jean-Baptiste Debret’S Return Of The Negro Hunters, The Brazilian Roça, And The Interstices Of Empire, Amy J. Buono

Art Faculty Books and Book Chapters

"Despite the range of subjects that Debret illustrates, historians of Brazil have usually only reproduced his images of Afro-Brazilian slaves. This is understandable, given the political, social and economic interest in the topic and the fact that Debret is one of the few artists who portrayed the horrors of slavery in Brazil at so early date.³ The keen interest in slavery as an historical topic has also led some scholars to assume that all Afro-Brazilians depicted in Debret's volumes are slaves, when many individuals may in fact have been free.⁴ While acknowledging the importance of examining Debret's images …

Managua Salsa City: El Fugitivo Sujeto Literario En Franz Galich, Claudia Ferman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

El trabajo que sigue es comparativo, es decir parte de la lectura de varios textos latinoamericanos, no sólo por su representatividad en relación con muchos otros textos de la narrativa reciente, sino por su capacidad para formular imágenes, metáforas, que a mi modo de ver plasman cierto estado de la literatura latinoamericana y, especialmente, la subjetividad que me interesa describir. En primer lugar, voy a plantear las cuestiones teóricas generales, después voy a referirme a los textos de Franz Galich, y por último, voy a buscar contextualizar estos distintos textos en relación a los movimientos sociales y culturales de la …

Teaching English In The Dominican Republic, Cassandra Craig

Senior Honors Projects

As thousands of immigrants and refugees are entering the U.S., and our school systems, each year, English as a second language (ESL) classes are becoming more and more necessary. As a future ESL teacher, it is crucial that I am aware of the wide variety of school environments from which they are coming. My curiosity brought me to Altamira, Dominican Republic, where I was able to experience first hand the school environment of my potential future students. Altamira is a small town located a half hour outside of Santiago, Dominican Republic. There, I was fortunate to stay with an extremely …

Moros Y Cristianos: Intangible Cultural Exchange Along The Camino Real, David F. García

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Although excellent regional studies of conquest drama and ritual dance have been conducted in northern Mexico and New Mexico, this is the first which links the Moros y Cristianos equestrian traditions in a comparative study along the cultural corridor of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro. In the past, the Mexican cultural heritage of these dramas was overlooked. Many researchers linked the conquest dramas directly to Spain without exploring the contexts in which they were already being performed in the Americas. More attention also needs to be given the Moros y Cristianos equestrian play of New Mexico and its relation …

Women's relationships to the state, to their societies, and to the construction of national discourses continue to provide topics for at-times-heated debates. On the one hand, generalizing about women in such a way as to claim that all women have a particular type of connection to political or social phenomena runs the risk of subsuming certain categories of difference—racial, ethnic, class, sexual—at the same time that it attempts to highlight gender difference. On the other hand, refusing to make any kind of statement about the issues faced by groups of women as they negotiate their relationships with the political movements, …
