  • Beyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy As a Measure of Respect
    Beyond Intellectual Insularity: Multicultural Literacy as a Measure of Respect Lisa Taylor Bishops University Michael Hoechsmann McGill University Authors’ Note For their support of this research we are deeply indebted to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, Bishop’s University, and our participating school boards, schools, teachers, and students. Note des auteurs Pour leur soutien à cette recherche, nous sommes profondément reconnaissants au Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines du Canada, à la Fondation canadienne des relations raciales, à l'Université Bishop's, et aux conseils scolaires qui ont participé ainsi qu'aux écoles, aux enseignants et aux étudiants. Abstract We report on a national survey (942 secondary students, 10 school boards, 5 provinces) that measures what young people know about the histories and the intellectual, political, and cultural legacies of racialized peoples, globally and nationally, and where they learned it (school, media, family, community). Intended as a contribution to, and challenge of, existing frameworks for multicultural education, the research demonstrates the importance of in and out of school learning, and how the various sites of learning resonate differently for particular groups of young people. It demonstrates the key role schools can play for different youth in building, or augmenting, a consistent, common knowledge base. Résumé Nous faisons le rapport d'une enquête nationale (942 élèves du secondaire, 10 conseils scolaires, 5 provinces) qui mesure la connaissance des jeunes, de l'histoire et de l'héritage intellectuel, politique et culturelle des peuples racialisés, mondialement et nationalement, et où ils l'ont appris (l'école, les médias, la famille, la communauté).

  • O Discurso Da Antropofagia Como Estratégia De Construção Da Identidade Cultural Brasileira
    Acta Scientiarum http://www.uem.br/acta ISSN printed: 1983-4675 ISSN on-line: 1983-4683 Doi: 10.4025/actascilangcult.v38i3.31204 O discurso da antropofagia como estratégia de construção da identidade cultural brasileira Weslei Roberto Cândido* e Nelci Alves Coelho Silvestre 1Departamento de Teorias Linguísticas e Literárias, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Av. Colombo, 5790, 87020-900, Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. 2Departamento de Letras Modernas, Universidade Estadual de Maringá, Maringá, Paraná, Brasil. *Autor para correspondencia. E-mail: [email protected] RESUMO. Este artigo apresenta uma reflexão teórica a respeito do termo ‘deglutição’ utilizado por Oswald de Andrade no Manifesto Antropófago (1928). Nesse manifesto, recortamos o conceito de antropofagia, vocábulo que descreve a devoração do Outro no intuito de absorvê-lo, no afã de assimilar as características das estéticas estrangeiras, e que expressa o impacto dos processos colonizadores na formação da identidade brasileira. Partindo da crítica à civilização europeia (colonialista), Oswald de Andrade, nas entrelinhas de seu discurso sobre a antropofagia, dialoga com as atuais discussões acerca da dependência cultural dos países periféricos. Diante desses apontamentos, nosso propósito é traçar um percurso histórico das leituras e apropriações que o termo ‘deglutição’ sofreu ao longo destes 88 anos, na esteira de estudos de críticos consagrados como Candido, Schwarz e Santiago. Palavras-chave: antropofagia; deglutição; identidade cultural. The discourse of cannibalism as a strategy of building Brazilian cultural identity ABSTRACT. This paper presents a theoretical discussion about the term ‘swallowing’ used by Oswald de Andrade in Manifesto Antropófago (1928). In this manifesto we cut the concept of cannibalism, a word that describes the devouring of the Other in order to absorb it, in his eagerness to assimilate the characteristics of foreign aesthetic, which expresses the impact of colonizing processes in the formation of Brazilian identity.

They remembered the Civil War – it was as recent to them as the Vietnam War is to us in 2003 – and their memories were regularly refreshed by politicians “waving the bloody shirt.” Even before the War Between the States, Americans had harped on cultural differences between North and South, East and West. Many Midwesterners, for example, used the verb “to yankee” to mean to cheat.

  • THE SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL FIELD EXPERIENCE* George M
    THE SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL FIELD EXPERIENCE* George M. Foster University of California, Berkeley Contemporary social anthropology differs from the other social sciences in its emphasis on the field experience, a data-gathering and theory-generating technique in which, in classic form, the scientist im- merses himself in a research setting in a way unparalleled in other dis- ciplines. Over a period of months or even years, he lives a life--24 hours a day--which is quite distinct from his normal home life. Field work as a way of gathering data is, of course, by no means exclusive to anthropology. It is a technique also used by geographers, geologists, botanists, and zoologists, to name a few. But anthropological field work differs from that of these fields in the degree of personal involvement which the investigator must achieve with the local people, and in the psychological adjustments he must make if he is to be successful. In most other disciplines characterized by field trips, scientists do not necessarily need fluent control of local languages; interpreters usually can serve their needs. And while they must establish contact with local people for food and other necessities, their lives usually are rather separated from those of the indigenous population. Probably they will set up tent camps, cook their own food, and otherwise minimize contact with the human element in their field environment. In other words, although anthropology shares the field trip technique with a number of other disciplines, the nature of field work in these subjects is quite different from that of social anthropology. It is therefore important for anthropologists to understand the special qualities of their field experience, its purposes, the methodological as- sumptions that underlie it, and the ways in which it influences the de- velopment of their theory.

  • Introductory Essay “It Has Been Justly Remarked That a Nation's Civilization
    Introductory Essay “It has been justly remarked that a nation’s civilization may be estimated by the rank which females hold in society. If the civilization of China be judged of by this test, she is surely far from occupying that first place which she so strongly claims.” Chinese Repository, vol. 2 (Nov. 1833), p. 313. This statement, which introduced an article on Chinese women in a missionary journal, is representative of Western journalistic writing about Chinese women in the 19th century. In two brief sentences, this comment simultaneously locates China and Chinese women in a state of cultural backwardness and places the invisible Western reader in the position of all-knowing observer. As the sources in this module illustrate, this fundamental distinction between the Western and the Chinese was expressed in both implicit and explicit ways in the foreign press. Chinese women became representative objects for Western observers, proof of the failings of Chinese culture and the necessity of Christian conversion. Described as victims of their own society, in these pieces Chinese women were in fact victims of a foreign pen, deprived of any agency in their own existence and judged with a sympathy born of arrogance. The representations of Chinese women in these journalistic accounts bear uncanny similarities to popular conceptions about the “place” of women in Confucian societies today—primarily that they are passive, obedient, and oppressed. A guided critical analysis of samples from 19th-century Western writing about Chinese women is one means of confronting popular stereotypes about Chinese/Asian women that abound in Western culture.

  • Racial Discrimination Toward the Indigenous Peoples in Nepal
    Racial discrimination toward the indigenous peoples in Nepal: nongovernment report for the third world conference against racism (WCAR) Mahendra Lawoti Indigenous Country Paper Preparatory Subcommittee 2001 [email protected] Keywords: indigenous communities, ethnicity, ethnic groups, racial discrimination, policies, guidelines, women, Gurkha, Nepal. Introduction The Nepali state has not recognized the Indigenous Peoples of Nepal. It has only partly recognized the Indigenous Peoples by identifying them as nationalities, and according recognition of their difference. It recognized 61 nationalities communities only in 1999. However, the state has defined the nationalities conservatively by calling them groups that face socioeconomic and cultural backwardness. Most of these nationalities' communities are Indigenous Peoples as well, and Indigenous Peoples define themselves as nationalities as well. Social scientists believe that there are more Indigenous Peoples / nationalities' communities than recognized by the state. An in depth anthropological-sociological survey is necessary for ascertaining the truer number of such communities and Peoples. Nationalities define themselves as Indigenous Peoples and those with distinct cultural identities, languages, traditional religions, customs and cultures, traditional territories, and those who do not fall under the traditional four-fold Hindu varna classification. According to the 1991 census the nationalities'/ Indigenous Peoples comprised 35.6 percent of the total population. However, the Indigenous Peoples and nationalities allege deliberate undercounting of their communities and tempering of the census to project a larger Hindu and Khas-Nepali speaking population.2 In fact; many indigenous activists claim that they form a majority. The fact that the 1991 census recorded only 26 of the 61 Indigenous Peoples/ nationalities' separately and remaining small communities were lumped in the 'other' category is an example of systematic undercounting of Indigenous Peoples.

  • Introduction
    Introduction THE POLISH MUSICAL AVANT-GARDE AND NATIONAL TRADITION This is a book about Polish musical culture during the Cold War, but it is not a book about the Cold War. This distinction is important because the musical move- ment known as the “Polish avant-garde” or the “Polish School” of post–World War II composition has very often been framed—especially by its West European and American audiences—as a direct response to Soviet political repressions and the subsequent cultural Thaw. This framing remains tenacious in the twenty-first century, decades after the conclusion of the Cold War. For example, in 2014 music critic Alex Ross described this period in Polish music history as a “remarkable surge of musical activity,” or a “Polish Renaissance,” that emerged after Joseph Stalin’s death in 1953. The Thaw that followed created a space for the “importation of avant-garde ideas.”1 This Polish avant-garde was distinct from its Western counterpart, Ross clarified. Thinking back to the 1961 premiere of Krzysztof Pend- erecki’s Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima (1960) at the Warsaw Autumn Inter- national Festival of Contemporary Music, Ross argued that the piece’s “psyche- delic extravagance” reflected the Polish avant-garde’s difference: as a group, they tended to be “less studied, less process-driven, than [their] Western counterpart.”2 It was understandable that audiences heard (and are still hearing!) Penderecki’s unconventional timbres and textures as a gesture of resistance. In 1961, Threnody registered as pure reaction, a scream of horror. The visceral sonic qualities of Penderecki’s compositions from this period would later attract a whole host of film directors; his music accompanied Jack Torrance’s crumbling sense of self in 1 2 Introduction Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining (1980), and David Lynch used Threnody to evoke the origins of evil in his 2017 return to Twin Peaks.
