The Seven Spices: Pumpkins, Puritans, And Pathogens In Colonial New England, Michael Sharbaugh
The Seven Spices: Pumpkins, Puritans, And Pathogens In Colonial New England, Michael Sharbaugh
Michael D Sharbaugh
Water sources in the United States' New England region are laden with arsenic. Particularly during North America's colonial period--prior to modern filtration processes--arsenic would make it into the colonists' drinking water. In this article, which evokes the biocultural evolution paradigm, it is argued that colonists offset health risks from the contaminant (arsenic poisoning) by ingesting copious amounts of seven spices--cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, vanilla, and ginger. The inclusion of these spices in fall and winter recipes that hail from New England would therefore explain why many Americans associate them not only with the region, but with Thanksgiving and Christmas, …
Heterogeneity, Politics Of Ethnicity, And Multiculturalism; What Is A Viable Framework For Indonesia?, Thung Ju Lan
Heterogeneity, Politics Of Ethnicity, And Multiculturalism; What Is A Viable Framework For Indonesia?, Thung Ju Lan
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Indonesia is a plural society that consists of several hundred ethnic and sub-ethnic groups. One of its generic characteristics is heterogeneity. In the last ten years after the implementation of regional autonomy, we have witnessed the emergence of strong ethnic and religiously flavoured local identity politics in various places in Indonesia that created open and vicious conflicts. This periodical violence exploded especially during the election of district and provincial heads. The intimate relation multiculturalism, with the actual political praxis of everyday life as an alternative to the existing paradigm of the "homogenization" of nationhood, has not been discussed. I believe …
Ethical Foundations For Peaceful Coexistence; A Cultural Investigation Of "Keselarasan", Andreas Yumarma
Ethical Foundations For Peaceful Coexistence; A Cultural Investigation Of "Keselarasan", Andreas Yumarma
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Multiculturality and cultural differences are undeniable reality in both Indonesia and the world. Without wisdom such conditions can cause tensions, disputes, and conflicts. For this reason, investigation on the ethical principles contained in keselarasan can provide foundations needed for peaceful coexistence which is crucial in such multicultural conditions as are prevalent in Indonesia. Basic principles such as respect, peace, and empan papan (knowing how to place oneself) are fundamental for living in a multicultural situation. The ethical foundations in keselarasan therefore contribute solutions to manage cultural difference and multiculturalism. These are the basic principles that can help avoid violent social …
Inter-Ethnic Relations In Padang Of West Sumatra; Navigating Between Assimilation And Exclusivity, Mina Elfira
Inter-Ethnic Relations In Padang Of West Sumatra; Navigating Between Assimilation And Exclusivity, Mina Elfira
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This article contributes to the discussion on how inter-ethnic relations challenge cultural boundaries, in this case Minangkabau matrilineal-Islamic culture in Padang of West Sumatra, Indonesia. This paper will focus on how Minangkabau people establish relationship with other ethnic groups in Padang, a multi-ethnic city. The paper argues that matrilineal principles (descent and inheritance through the maternal line) and Islam are the defining aspects to be considered by Minangkabau people in maintaining relationship with other ethnic groups. Moreover, there is some interplay between the need to protect Minangkabau Islamic-matrilineal adat in maintaining inter-ethnic relations by Minangkabau people and their assimilation and …

The Pinochet Project: A Nation’S Search For Truth Memory Struggles In Post-Pinochet Chile, Christine Mehta
The Pinochet Project: A Nation’S Search For Truth Memory Struggles In Post-Pinochet Chile, Christine Mehta
Honors Capstone Projects - All
Chile has fought for 21 years to overcome General Augusto Pinochet’s violent legacy, but moving past the pervasive influence of Pinochet’s 17-year reign is a difficult task, even today. The following work is an investigation on memory, and Chile’s struggle to come to terms with its memory of the dictatorship. The key questions asked are: How do Chileans remember the dictatorship? What does each individual’s memory mean to the collective whole? Why is confronting the past important to Chile’s future?
The investigation is divided into two parts: a journalistic portion in which individual accounts are highlighted, and an academic thesis …
Moving In A Hierarchized Landscape; Changing Border Regimes In Central Kalimantan, Dave Lumenta
Moving In A Hierarchized Landscape; Changing Border Regimes In Central Kalimantan, Dave Lumenta
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Transnational mobility is a common feature among borderland communities. Central Borneo has been a relatively fluid and open riverine-based socio-cultural and economic space since the arrival of colonial states, without much interference from the establishment of international boundaries on local cross-border mobility practices. This applies to the Kenyah, a cluster of related ethnic groups occupying the Apokayan plateau in East Kalimantan (Indonesia), who are historically an integral part of the socio-cultural and economic fabric throughout the major riverine systems of Sarawak (Malaysia). Despite the relative absence of states, Central Borneo has not escaped the onslaught of social differentiation embedded in …
Mending The Imaginary Wall Between Indonesia And Malaysia; The Case Of Maritime Delimitation In The Waters Off Tanjung Berakit, I Made Andi Arsana
Mending The Imaginary Wall Between Indonesia And Malaysia; The Case Of Maritime Delimitation In The Waters Off Tanjung Berakit, I Made Andi Arsana
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Due to its geographical location, Indonesia shares border areas with at least ten neighbouring countries with which maritime boundaries must be settled. As of March 2011, Indonesia is yet to finalize its maritime boundaries with various States including Malaysia with which four maritime boundaries need to be settled: the Malacca Strait, the South China Sea, the Sulawesi Sea, and the Singapore Strait (off Tanjung Berakit). It is evident that pending maritime boundaries can spark problems between Indonesia and Malaysia. The dispute over the Ambalat Block in 2005 and 2009 and an incident in the waters off Tanjung Berakit on 13 …
Sailing The Archipelago In A Boat Of Rhymes; Pantun In The Malay World, Muhammad Haji Salleh
Sailing The Archipelago In A Boat Of Rhymes; Pantun In The Malay World, Muhammad Haji Salleh
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The extremely popular poetic form from Insular Southeast Asia, the pantun, travelled from its unknown source throughout the Malay Archipelago, first in Malay, then in the languages of Southeast Asia. In the ports and states where they were received, local colour, other idiosyncrasies, references, and linguistic characteristics have been added, and in fact, special forms with special names developed. This basic form is known, composed, and loved in at least 40 dialects of Malay, and 35 non-Malay languages, in the Peninsula and many of the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia. It spread through trade routes, ports, and also via diasporas …
Contested Meaning Of The Nation-State Through Historical Border Narratives; A Case Study Of The Batang Kanyau Iban, West Kalimantan, Iwan Meulia Pirous
Contested Meaning Of The Nation-State Through Historical Border Narratives; A Case Study Of The Batang Kanyau Iban, West Kalimantan, Iwan Meulia Pirous
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
Nation as a cultural-psychological phenomenon is best understood in terms of how a sense of nationhood operates in order to construct social identities or a social imagination about the modern nation-state (Anderson 1983). The forging of nationalism as a national identity cannot be seen in isolation of the rise of modernization and industrialization (Gellner 1987). Although the nation appears to be a modern phenomenon, Smith (1991) stresses that every nation preserves its own past historical artefacts, narratives, and symbols for present-day needs. This model needs to be elaborated further as it is insufficient to understand how a sense of nationhood …
A People-State Negotiation In A Borderland; A Case Study Of The Indonesia-Malaysia Frontier In Sebatik Island, Lina Puryanti, Sarkawi B. Husain
A People-State Negotiation In A Borderland; A Case Study Of The Indonesia-Malaysia Frontier In Sebatik Island, Lina Puryanti, Sarkawi B. Husain
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
This paper aims to show the dynamics of the Indonesian - Malaysian border area in Sebatik Island, East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Take into account as a background is the territorial dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia over the Ligitan and Sipadan Islands which were awarded to Malaysia by the decision of the ICJ (International Court of Justice) in 2002, which was followed by the dispute over the Ambalat sea block in 2005. Sebatik Island is geographically very strategic since it faces the disputed areas. Therefore the concerns of the Indonesian state with regard to the island pertain to issues of nation-state sovereignty …
Crossing The Border; Historical And Linguistic Divides Among The Bunaq In Central Timor, Antoinette Schapper
Crossing The Border; Historical And Linguistic Divides Among The Bunaq In Central Timor, Antoinette Schapper
Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia
The Bunaq are a Papuan language-speaking people straddling the border of Indonesian West Timor and independent East Timor. This paper looks at the history of the Bunaq as a "border" people in Timor. "Border" is interpreted here in two ways, as referring to: (i) a political division, the boundary line separating one country from another, and (ii) a linguistic division, the distinguishing line between Papuan and Austronesian languages. I examine the effect that the Bunaq position at the political and linguistic borders of Timor has had on the people and their language.
Signs And Symbols: Art And Language In Art Therapy, Malissa Morrell
Signs And Symbols: Art And Language In Art Therapy, Malissa Morrell
Journal of Clinical Art Therapy
This paper is a preliminary attempt at theory building by exploring the use of art and language in art therapy through a theoretical inquiry model. Inductive and deductive processes are used to explore literature from the fields of psychology, art philosophy (particularly aesthetics), and linguistics. Concepts common to each of these disciplines are then further explored through the lens of bilingual therapy. Practical applications are discussed, along with suggestions for future research.
An Art Therapy Domestic Violence Prevention Group In Mexico, Naomi Tucker, Ana Laura Treviño
An Art Therapy Domestic Violence Prevention Group In Mexico, Naomi Tucker, Ana Laura Treviño
Journal of Clinical Art Therapy
This paper explores the implementation, course of treatment, achievements and limitations of an art therapy domestic violence prevention group in Mexico. The group was part of a Mexican pilot program utilizing a solution-focused model developed by Stith, McCollum, and Rosen (2007) in the U.S. The art therapy group served Otomí clients, who are members of a unique indigenous sub-culture within Mexican society. A brief literature review discusses domestic violence, solution-focused treatment, couples groups, and the particular complexities of working inter-culturally. The course of treatment is presented and the achievements and limitations of the program are briefly evaluated within the context …
Understanding Client Imagery In Art Therapy, Erica K.M. Curtis
Understanding Client Imagery In Art Therapy, Erica K.M. Curtis
Journal of Clinical Art Therapy
This study offers a preliminary investigation into the question: How do art therapists make meaning from viewing client-made art? Art therapy literature on making meaning from client art is reviewed. The Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) model used in art education and museum education is also briefly discussed for its parallels to this study’s findings. An adapted form of grounded theory for data collection and analysis was used, leading to emergent themes that suggest that understanding client art requires more than analyzing content and aesthetic elements. More specifically, this inquiry offers the consideration that viewing client art is a dynamic practice …
