Molding Memory: An Analysis Of The Relationship Between Representations Of Candomblé In Public Places Of Memory And The Afro-Brazilian Community, Lauren Hobby

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

Over eighty-five percent of the population of Salvador, Brazil is of African descent, creating a rich history of cultural, political and social development. Nevertheless the majority of the museums in Salvador have historical spoken very little of this culture and its relationship to the city. In 1982, the Museu Afro-Brasileiro opened, introducing a small museum focused solely on the cultural exchange between Africa and Brazil as well as the development of Afro-Brazilian religiosity. Thinking critically about the importance of museums in the construction and dissemination of awareness, knowledge and respect for cultures as well as the current debates over the …

Artlog: Archiving The Artistic Process, Yvonne Desmond, John Mcauley, Evin Mccarthy, Ciaran Mcdonnell, Charles Pritchard, Pat Donlon

Articles

Currently there is little or no formal attempt to document the processes an Irish artist undergoes when producing a piece of art. With Artlog we aim to provide the artistic community at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, Annaghmakerring, Co. Monaghan with a forum to not only develop their profile as an artist but also to document their work practices. In this paper we describe how Artlog came about, the relationship between the aesthetics and the importance of heritage, the approach of the project team in organising the archive and finally how interdisplinary collaboration has impacted the project.

Indonesian Teachers' And Students' Preferences For Error Correction, Sisilia S. Halimi

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Walaupun hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa manfaat koreksi kesalahan pada tulisan siswa bertentangan satu dengan yang lain, pengajar bahasa tidak dapat berhenti mengoreksi kesalahan-keslahan karena siswa sendiri menginginkan pengajar mengoreksi kesalahan-kesalahan mereka (Walz 1982). Masalahnya adalah harapan siswa kerap kali berbeda dengan keyakinan pengajar tentang koreksi kesalahan (Diab 2006). Kajian ini ingin mengetahui keinginan para mahasiswa dan pengajar di Universitas di Indonesia tentang koreksi kesalahan tulisan mahasiswa. Sebuah kuesioner yang disusun berdasarkan kuesioner yang digunakan Leki (1991) dan kuesioner yang digunakan Diab (2006) digunakan untuk mengetahui keinginan pengajar dan mahasiswa tentang teknik koreksi dan keyakinan mereka tentang koreksi kesalahan tulisan yang …

Dinyatakan bahwa pencarian asal-usul dialek turunan Melayu Pijin sejenis ini hanya bisa dilakukan dengan berfokus pada makna yang disampaikan lewat konstruksikonstruksinya.

Perubahan Peran Dan Fungsi Benteng Dalam Tata Ruang Kota, Djoko Marihandono

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This research aims to explain and describe the colonial history of fortresses and their influence on the development of urban planning in Indonesia. The fortresses functioned as centres of colonial administration and control. In former days these fortresses were identified with the domination of power, economic exploitation and as symbols of foreign rule in areas ruled by local kings and entrepeneurs. Due to political and economic changes as well as in town planning, the funtion of these fortresses also changed. At present, the fortresses function as heritage sites and interesting places to be visited by tourists. The current efforts to …

Ketika Perempuan Lantang Menentang Poligami; Sebuah Analisis Wacana Kritis Tentang Wacana Antipoligami, Untung Yuwono

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Critical discourse analysis (CDA) has become a very influential interdisciplinary approach, which views a discourse as a form of social practice. Antipoligamy discourse, as a social practice persisted for a long time ago in Indonesia, offers chalenging discussions in the perspective of CDA. Teun van Dijk, as one of the pioneers of CDA, articulates ideology as the basis of the social representations of groups. Furthermore, he advocates a sociocognitive interface between social structures and discourse structures. Within these views, whenever social groups, including the producers of antipoligamy texts, voice their ideas and feelings, their ideology come up apparently or, otherwise, …

On The Development Of Urak Lawoi' Malay, Hein Steinhauer

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

Urak Lawoi' yang berarti 'orang laut' adalah nama suku nelayan pengembara laut yang tersebar di Pulau Phuket (Thailand) dan Kepulauan Adang di sebelah selatannya. Bahasa mereka yang juga dikenal dengan nama Urak Lawoi' merupakan sebuah varietas Melayu yang khas. Dari pemeriannya yang ada tampaklah bahwa bahasa itu menyimpang dari varietas Melayu di daratan Thailand Selatan dan di semenanjung Malaysia. Dalam artikel ini direkonstruksikan perubahan bunyi dalam urutannya yang diakronis, yang telah memberikan wujud khas pada kata-kata leksikal Urak Lawoi' itu. Yang menonjol dalam hal itu adalah dua perubahan bunyi yang mengingatkan bahasabahasa di Kalimantan Barat dan Serawak, yaitu hilangnya letupan …

Caddo Ceramics From The D'Ortolan Site (41na299), Timothy K. Perttula

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The D'Ortolan site (41NA299) is a late 1790s to 1830s ranch established by Bernard D'Ortolan on Bayou Loco, a tributary to the Angelina River, in Nacogdoches County, Texas. The ranch was known as Rancho San Bemando del Loco. Tom Middlebrook, Texas Archeological Steward, located and identified the rancho in 2003.

During the course of archaeological investigations conducted at the site over the next few years, a small sample of aboriginal Caddo ceramic sherds were found on the rancho in contexts indicating that Caddo ceramic vessels were in use during the rancho occupation. These vessels had to have been obtained by …

A Probable Early 19th Century Coushatta Village Site On Big Cypress Bayou In Northeastern Texas, Timothy K. Perttula, Bryan E. Boyd

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In February 2002, avocational archaeologists from northeastern Texas and northwestern Louisiana conducted archaeological investigations in an area along Big Cypress Bayou in Marion County, Texas, to search for and identify a pre-1841 Coushatta Indian village depicted on a 1943 General Land Office map. That map showed a "Coushatti" village with at least seven to eight structures (a common way at the time to indicate an Indian village, but not necessarily an accurate characterization of the number of structures once present at the site) near the confluence of Black Cypress Bayou and Big Cypress Bayou. This article describes the results of …

Historic Caddo Archaeology On The Red And Lower Sulphur River Areas Of Northeast Texas, Timothy K. Perttula

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Post-ca. A.D. 1685 Caddo archaeological sites are somewhat surprisingly uncommon on the Red and lower Sulphur rivers in Northeast Texas compared to other parts of this broad region. For instance, there are more Historic Caddo sites known in Nacogdoches County in the Neches and Angelina river basin in East Texas than there are in all of the Red and lower Sulphur river regions.

The low density of Historic Caddo archaeological sites on the Red and lower Sulphur river areas of Northeast Texas is a product of several factors, the most important likely being the rapid abandonment of much of the …

The Pine Tree Mound Site And The Entrada Of The Hernando De Soto Expedition Of 1542, Ross C. Fields

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The entrada into Texas of the Hernando de Solo expedition in July 1542, which was led by Luis de Moscoso after de Soto's death in June of that year, is relevant to the Pine Tree Mound site (4IHS15) because it appears that the site was occupied at that time, and the entrada likely followed a path that brought it very close to the site. In fact, we hypothesize that the Pine Tree Mound site, along with associated villages nearby, is specifically mentioned in entrada accounts as the province of Nondacao. These may have been the forebears of the Nadaco (Anadarko) …

Archaeological Investigations At The Henry M. Site (41na60): An Early Historic Caddo Farmstead In Nacogdoches County, Texas, Tom Middlebrook, Timothy K. Perttula

Archaeological Investigations At The Edwards Creek Site (41ft549) In The Trinity River Basin, Freestone County, Texas, Timothy K. Perttula, Bo Nelson, Mark Walters, Leeannaa Schniebs

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The Edwards Creek site (41Ff549) was found during the course of a 2005 archaeological survey of a proposed small lake project in the adjoining Indian Creek stream valley in southeastern Freestone County, Texas. The site was identified while reconnoitering the general project area, and at that time a darkly stained midden area was noted on the surface here, with animal bones and other artifacts visible across it. With the permission of the landowner, we returned to the Edwards Creek site to investigate the site and its midden deposits.

Analysis Of The Historic Caddo Ceramics From 41na223 In Downtown Nacogdoches, Nacogdoches County, Texas, Timothy K. Perttula

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

In 1999, the late Dr. James E. Corbin of Stephen F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas, recorded 41NA223 in a proposed parking lot associated with offices for the City of Nacogdoches.
