Producing this dissertation throughout the past six years has proven to me that this idea is far from the truth and that all academic work, especially ethnography, is produced in collaboration. We produce theory in collaboration with our interlocutors, interviewees, friends, advisors, and mentors along the way. This project belongs as much to me as it does to the numerous people who have passed through my life over the past six years. I am grateful for the brilliance and generosity so many people have entrusted to me by sharing their stories, their expertise, and their feedback. To all of the incredible people who offered their stories, shared archival resources with me, and shared community with me, thank you.

To everyone in the USA: Abdul-Aliy, Niko, Marcus, Shani, Hazel, Icon, Deangelo, DaShawn, Briyana, Azeem, Marquel, and Chris, you all have my eternal gratitude. I had amazing help along the way in transcribing the multitudes of interviews on my plate, so to George, Gabi, Gustavo, and Gleisson, thank you for dedicating your time to not only transcription but helping me understand the core of the colloquialisms expressed in the interviews. Poe viii Without the financial support of many institutions and people, this kind of large transnational project would be impossible. I am incredibly grateful for the support from the Mellon Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, the Tinker Foundation, and Brown University’s Graduate School for all the continued support to be able to travel and live while conducting this work. To my intellectual community at Brown University and in the New England area, I thank you for filling my mind and spirit, giving me the energy to continue with this dissertation. To

    Semana 99 – De 1° a 7 de junho de 2020 Entre os dias 1º. e 7 de junho de 2020, foram observados 17.191 posts nas 719 páginas de nossa amostra, que geraram 10.230.467 compartilhamentos. Os principais recursos utilizados nos posts foram fotos (39%), links (37%), vídeos (23%) e texto (1%). A extrema direita segue protagonizando o debate político no Facebook, instrumentalizando a plataforma para defender o presidente Jair Bolsonaro (sem partido) e atacar todos aqueles que considera opositores do governo. Essa categoria cresce e se diversifica a cada dia, abrangendo setores e políticos que vão da esquerda à própria extrema direita. Somam-se aos alvos costumeiros (a imprensa, o PT, Lula, Dilma, o STF, Cuba e Venezuela), os governadores e prefeitos que adotaram a quarentena pelo país - sobretudo João Dória (PSDB-SP) e Wilson Witzel (PSC-RJ) -, a deputada Joice Hasselmann (PSL-SP), os/as gays, as feministas e os militantes do movimento antifascista. Nuvem de palavras Contudo, novos atores têm pautado as discussões e o discurso foi progressivamente radicalizado, inclu- sive com o uso mais frequentes de palavras de baixo calão. Destaca-se a atuação da deputada Carla Zambelli (PSL-SP), que responde por 12 dos 20 posts mais compartilhados do período e acumulou mais de 700 mil comparti- lhamentos durante a semana. O post mais compartilhado da semana (114.276) é um vídeo no qual o deputado federal André Janones (AVANTE-MG) apoia o veto de Jair Bolsonaro ao repasse de R$8 bilhões aos estados e municípios, afirmando que essas esferas não necessitam do dinheiro pois não sabem administrar seus recursos e desviam verbas desti- nadas ao combate da Covid-19.

  • Curating Precarity. Swedish Queer Film Festivals As Micro-Activism
    Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis Uppsala Studies in Media and Communication 16 Curating Precarity Swedish Queer Film Festivals as Micro-Activism SIDDHARTH CHADHA Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Lecture Hall 2, Ekonomikum, Kyrkogårdsgatan 10, Uppsala, Thursday, 15 April 2021 at 13:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Dr. Marijke de Valck (Department of Media and Culture, Utrecht University). Abstract Chadha, S. 2021. Curating Precarity. Swedish Queer Film Festivals as Micro-Activism. Uppsala Studies in Media and Communication 16. 189 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-1145-6. This research is based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted at Malmö Queer Film Festival and Cinema Queer Film Festival in Stockholm, between 2017-2019. It explores the relevance of queer film festivals in the lives of LGBTQIA+ persons living in Sweden, and reveals that these festivals are not simply cultural events where films about gender and sexuality are screened, but places through which the political lives of LGBTQIA+ persons become intelligible. The queer film festivals perform highly contextualized and diverse sets of practices to shape the LGBTQIA+ discourse in their particular settings. This thesis focuses on salient features of this engagement: how the queer film festivals define and articulate “queer”, their engagement with space to curate “queerness”, the role of failure and contingency in shaping the queer film festivals as sites of democratic contestations, the performance of inclusivity in the queer film festival organization, and the significance of these events in the lives of the people who work or volunteer at these festivals.

  • An Examination of the Korean Community in the Dominican Republic
    Journal of Advanced Research in Social Sciences and Humanities Volume 2, Issue 3 (188-199) DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.26500/JARSSH-02-2017-0304 An examination of the Korean community in the Dominican Republic NELSON ORTEGA∗ Silla University, Busan, South Korea Abstract This paper is the first attempt to study the community of approximately 700 Koreans living in the Dominican Republic. Koreans in the Dominican Republic are a peculiar group that enriches Dominican culture and economy. There are 23 Korean companies operating in the Dominican Republic generating millions of tax dollars for Dominican government coffers and providing much-needed jobs. Despite their contributions, Koreans in the Dominican Republic have not yet been studied in terms of their adaptation, their day to day lives and the problems they face. This paper draws upon qualitative and quantitative sources such as questionnaires filled by 108 Korean adults, interviews with Korean community leaders and observations in an effort to document the experiences and business ventures of Koreans in the Dominican Republic. The survey results suggest that church and family are the basic units of interaction for Koreans in the Dominican Republic. Koreans have little socialization with people outside their inner circles although acculturation seems to be taking place with the young who expressed interest in Dominican food, dance, music and tourist attractions. The main problems facing Koreans are the crime, corruption in the Dominican government, and culture-driven conflicts between Korean employers and Dominican employees. Keywords: Korean Community, Diaspora, Adaptation, Dominican Republic Received: 6 February 2017 / Accepted: 12 April 2017 / Published: 30 June 2017 INTRODUCTION The Dominican Republic is an island country that shares the island La Hispaniola with the Republic of Haiti.

    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

In order to answer the following three questions “ whether the current tea culture phenomena can be called “tradition” or not; what are the changes in tea cultural tradition and what are the new features of the current trend of tea culture; what are the endogenous and exogenous factors which influenced the change in the tea drinking tradition”, I did literature research from ancient tea classics and historical documents to summarize the development history of Chinese tea culture, and used two month to do fieldwork on teahouses in Xi’an so that I could have a clear understanding on the current trend of tea culture. It is found that the current tea culture is inherited from tradition and changed with social development. Tea drinking traditions have become more and more popular with diverse forms.

  • BAM 50 State Initiative Art Project—A Partnership with for Freedoms—Activates Civic Engagement Through Art Work Creation, Saturday, Oct 20
    BAM 50 State Initiative Art Project—a partnership with For Freedoms—activates civic engagement through art work creation, Saturday, Oct 20 Free public event will be led by Brooklyn visual artist Katherine Toukhy Oct 5, 2018/Brooklyn, NY—The Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) has partnered with For Freedoms in an afternoon of civic engagement on Saturday, Oct 20 from 1–3pm at the South Site Plaza (Lafayette Ave, corner of Flatbush Ave). Attendees will participate in an art-making project, led by Brooklyn visual artist Katherine Toukhy, to create and share social and political statements with the community. Images of finished artworks will be photographed and displayed on BAM’s outdoor digital signpost on the corner of Flatbush Ave and Lafayette Ave—running on a loop until the mid-term elections in November. BAM’s VP of Education and Community Engagement Coco Killingsworth said, “We’re excited to join with For Freedoms and Katherine Toukhy in gathering community members for this creative civic activation. We hope this event inspires all of us to use our voices to engage in the democratic process.” For Freedoms started in 2016 as a platform for civic engagement, discourse, and direct action for artists in the United States. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s 1943 painting of the four universal freedoms articulated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1941—freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear—For Freedoms seeks to use art to deepen public discussions of civic issues and core values, and to clarify that citizenship in American society is deepened by participation, not by ideology.

  • Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green
    Labor History Loses a Great Voice: Jim Green By ILHS Vice President Mike Matejka Bringing history to life, particularly transporting it from the lecture hall to the streets, is no small task. Labor History lost a true leader in that effort, Dr. James Green of the University of Massachusetts, who died of leukemia on June.23. Taking labor's dramatic stories, Green was able to translate them into accessible and popular books, including his "Death in the Haymarket" and most recently, "The Devil is Here in THese Hills: West Virginia's Coal Miners and Their Battle for Freedom." This book was the foundation for the Public Television documentary last February, "The Mine Wars." In the 1970s he assisted Barbara Koepple with her award-winning documentary "Harlan County, USA" and PBS for its "The Great Depression" series. Green happily shared his time and talents with the Illinois Labor History Society, including an appearance as guest speaker at the 2010 ILHS Union Hall of Honor. He worked closely with the ILHS, its members and officers, while developing his Haymarket book. Green was a very patient and gentle soul, who moved history beyond academic halls into union halls. His 2000 book, "Taking History to Heart," told his own journey, making labor history accessible and meaningful to a general audience. His roots were in Illinois, growing up in Oak Park and then Carpentersville, where his father was a math teacher and his mother a school clerical worker. His grandparents included a railroad switchman and a clothing factory worker, people with stories he took to heart.
