HICOG, Bonn To the Editors, FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL: The report of the “Secretary of State’s Public Committee on Personnel” states that “a high state of morale is essential to an effective Foreign Service,” and adds that “the morale of the Service today stands in need of repair. Certainly no reorganization plan can hope to be successful if it results in further reducing present morale. It would seem pertinent and highly desirable, therefore, to attempt to ascertain the effect of the Wriston Committee proposals on the morale of the present members of the various groups affected by the Report. It is suggested that it would be useful in this con¬ nection to conduct a survey of reactions on the basis of a simple poll. The main question asked might be: “On the basis of your knowledge of the recommendations of the Wriston Committee Report, do you feel that the implementa¬ tion of these recommendations, taken as a whole, would (a) substantially improve, (b) slightly improve, (c) not affect, (d) slightly lower, or (e) substantially lower, your morale?” Respondents might further be asked which features in the report they liked most or found most objectionable and what suggestions, if any, they would have for achieving a better Service.

Weftscapes examines a fresh approach to the creation and making of jamdani fabrics, both in its weaving, choice of raw materials, colour, patterns, designs and the end product – a finished garment. Multiple intertwined yet disparate stories coming together in this contemporary initiative. The versatility of the jamdani weaving technique involves the use of a supplementary weft technique. The idea here is to explore the various possibilities of introducing different yarns, materials, and constructions into the weave. The ingenuity of Indian handlooms and the dexterity of its weavers allows for a unique experiment where diverse materials and objects are strung and woven in by hand through the fabric. Bengal’s history is strewn with references to the Indigo trade and its impact on her people. An important aspect of jamdani was the use of the colour indigo which also lent its name to several lengths of fabric with the iconic Nilambari sari becoming popular across the subcontinent. This project has exclusively used the Indigo palette with its non-traditional yarns being dyed in organic Indigo vats; 10 Constructing Traditions namely in a banana vat, dates vat, and the henna vat.

  • Los Vocables Asturians De Antoni De Bastero Y Su Probable Informante, El Cardenal Cienfuegos
    Rebut: 31/V/2017 Acceptat: 25/VII/2017 LOS VOCABLES ASTURIANS DE ANTONI DE BASTERO Y SU PROBABLE INFORMANTE, EL CARDENAL CIENFUEGOS Juan Carlos BUSTO CORTINA Universidad de Oviedo No son muchas las referencias a la lengua asturiana ni a su léxico anteriores al siglo XVIII. Todo lo más, se hallan ocasionales inclusiones de voces o frases asturianas en auto- res como Eugenio de Salazar, que transcribe dos versos (de sendos cantares) y dos frases con alguna voz de interpretación discutida (González Ollé 1977: 53-61; Pensado 1982: 34-35). Pero, sin duda, el corpus más numeroso son los 49 refranes que se encuentran en la colección del Comendador Hernán Núñez (1555), conjunto fraseológico y léxico de gran interés tanto para la paremiología como para la lexicografía asturianas, donde apa- recen formas arcaicas poco o nada presentes hoy en asturiano: ne ‘ni’, lomada ‘fama’ [< nōmĭnāta], fabu (DGLA, s. v.) [< făvum], etc.). También se ha destacado la presencia de palabras asturianas (o leonesas) en obras como La pícara Justina (cuelmo, desgañir ‘des- gañitar’, gargüelo, mazcar, mega ‘bruja’, tosta, etc.), en Las famosas asturianas (Cane- llada 1982: 23-27) de Lope de Vega (soldemente, cada que o zomirse, junto a muchas formas —a veces aberrantes— que incorporan soluciones fonéticas y morfosintácticas asturleonesas) o en tantas otras que utilizan la llamada «fabla» (Salvador Plans 1992; Busto 2000: 60). Voces bables también aparecen en los villancicos puestos en boca de asturianos que formaron parte de los repertorios de las capillas musicales de muchas ca- tedrales y conventos de toda España en los siglos XVII y XVIII, donde se hallan textos que son meros remedos del habla asturiana junto a otros escritos en un asturiano bastante pu- ro.1 Sin embargo, es evidente que en ninguna de las obras citadas la presencia de asturia- nismos obedece a un interés filológico.

BRAND This article initiates a series in which the writer will attempt to summarize the scattered and commonly contradictory material on the present ethnic and linguistic constituency of a number of Latin Ameri- can countries. It represents some personal investigations in the field and an examination of much of the pertinent literature. Chile has been a sovereign state since the War of Independence 1810-26. This state was founded upon a nuclear area west of the Andean crest and essentially between 240 and 460 South Latitude. Through the War of the Pacific with Bolivia and Perui in 1879-1883 and peaceful agreements with Argentina, Chile acquired her present extention from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. These northern and south- ern acquisitions added little to her population but introduced numerous small ethnic and linguistic groups. Chile has taken national censuses in 1835, 1843, 1854, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1907, 1920, 1930, and the most recent one in November of 1940.
