The Articles of Incorporation were signed December 18, 1967, in Washington, D.C, by Marietta Daniels Shepard, Peter J. de la Garza, and Donald F. Wisdom. At the close of SALALM XII (1967), the composition of the SALALM committees under the Steering Committee (precursor to the new organization's Executive Board) included the Ad Hoc Subcommittee on the Publication of Bibliographic Research Material. The following note appeared in the Final Reports: "This subconmiittee might become an Editorial Board, with this or modified composition." Article IV of the first Bylaws document provides for committees to be created by the Executive Board, but none are proscribed. In the committee list for SALALM XIII (1968), an Editorial Board is included, with Donald Wisdom as its chair. SALALM' s first publications under its own name appeared some years later. The Final Report and Working Papers were published by the Pan American Union through SALALM XVI (1971); the first to appear under its own imprint was for SALALM XVII (1972), published 1975. The first number in the "Bibliographic Series" (1969) was actually published in Carbondale, Illinois, using proceeds from the sale oí Final Report and Working Papers of the Sixth Seminar that had been published by the Latin American Institute, Southern Illinois University, its sponsor. The second number in the "Bibliographic Series" was published by the SALALM Secretariat in 1975. The final reports and working papers of the earlier seminars, published by their sponsoring institutions, are considered here as "SALALM publications," as are miscellaneous related documents. They document the worthy efforts of dedicated librarians and Latin Americanists begun years before the area studies boom of the 1960s in the United States. The Author Index provides reference to authors in the collective publications. * * 41 I want to express my appreciation to my SALALM colleagues, especially those with longer institutional memories than my own, for information and clarifications received, and to the Harvard College Library for its extensive holdings of SALALM publications. Special thanks to my husband, Keith Arbour, for his support and encouragement. X Final Report and Working Papers The Final Report and Working Papers and Papers for SALALM meetings I-L are listed below with contents and authors. For the most part the working papers are numbered according to their original scheme in the published volumes, although a few adjustments were necessary. Numbered papers '*Not issued" are retained. The earlier volumes provided some challenges to consistency in presentation due to the inconsistencies among them. Regular features are sometimes presented as working papers, sometimes as reports. When reports and working papers are in a single listing, they are left that way; when listed separately, numerals are used for the working papers and uppercase letters for the reports. All authors are listed in the Author Index with reference to these lists with a bold Arabic numeral for the seminar number, followed by a colon and the number or letter for the corresponding working paper or report. For fíill access, including subjects, to the Papers, we can be grateful for the dedication of Barbara G. Valk. She compiled subject and author indexes for SALALMs I-XXDC; these appeared as numbers 12 and 24 of the "Bibliography and Reference Series": Index to the SALALM Papers, 1956-1980 and Index to the SALALM Papers, 1981-1985, respectively. Subsequent Papers (XXX and after) are all fully indexed in the Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI) 1 986-present, and HAPI Online, edited also by Barbara G. Valk. Editorship of HAPI is now in the able hands of Orchid Mazurkiewicz, following Valk's retirement in late 2005. Similarly, the Index to the SALALM Progress Reports, 1956-1970 by Rosa Abella, Amelia Mederos, and Haydée Piedracueva is issued as a separate publication (Amherst, Mass.: SALALM Secretariat, 1975). The Final Report and Working Papers was formally changed to the Papers by vote of the Executive Board at its 1982 midwinter meeting. At its 1979 midwinter meeting, the board voted that much of content composing the "Final Report" segment, namely. Resolutions, List of Committees, and Annual Committee Reports, be published in the Newsletter. Now the remaining portions. Summary Reports of the Sessions and Executive Board Minutes, would also be published in a timelier manner in the Newsletter. Editorship of the annual Papers formally became the responsibility of the past president following a vote of the Executive Board at its meeting during the 1983 annual conference. This was amended slightly by a formal decision of the Editorial Board at the 1990 conference that would allow for the president to designate an alternate editor.

    LAH 6934: Colonial Spanish America Ida Altman T 8-10 (3-6 p.m.), Keene-Flint 13 Office: Grinter Rm. 339 Email: [email protected] Hours: Th 10-12 The objective of the seminar is to become familiar with trends and topics in the history and historiography of early Spanish America. The field has grown rapidly in recent years, and earlier pioneering work has not been superseded. Our approach will take into account the development of the scholarship and changing emphases in topics, sources and methodology. For each session there are readings for discussion, listed under the weekly topic. These are mostly journal articles or book chapters. You will write short (2-3 pages) response papers on assigned readings as well as introducing them and suggesting questions for discussion. For each week’s topic a number of books are listed. You should become familiar with most of this literature if colonial Spanish America is a field for your qualifying exams. Each student will write two book reviews during the semester, to be chosen from among the books on the syllabus (or you may suggest one). The final paper (12-15 pages in length) is due on the last day of class. If you write a historiographical paper it should focus on the most important work on the topic rather than being bibliographic. You are encouraged to read in Spanish as well as English. For a fairly recent example of a historiographical essay, see R. Douglas Cope, “Indigenous Agency in Colonial Spanish America,” Latin American Research Review 45:1 (2010). You also may write a research paper.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.

    LET FREEDOM SING! FOUR AFRICAN-AMERICAN CONCERT SINGERS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICA By SONYA R. GABLE-WILSON A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2005 Copyright 2005 by Sonya R. Gable-Wilson ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks are given to my husband, Ken Wilson. Without his never-ending love, support (both mentally and financially), encouragement, and many, many sacrifices, I could not have persevered and completed this project. Throughout this task I also had the joy of working with a great committee: Elizabeth Graham, Raymond Chobaz, Arthur Jennings, Brian Ward, and David Kushner. This group gave frequent advice, new ideas, and often steered me toward a more objective direction. I am especially grateful to David Kushner, not only for his wisdom, guidance, patience, and many chats over the past several years, but also for instilling in so many students a love of musicology. Most of all, many thanks go to all of these people for believing in my success. This project would not have existed without the assistance of many individuals in various public libraries, city halls, and universities nationwide, who contributed their time and efforts in helping with this research. Special thanks are given to the University of Florida music librarians, Robena Cornwell and Michelle Wilbanks-Fox, for their knowledge and continued support over the years. Without these ladies, this huge task would have been impossible. Also, recognition and appreciation should be given to Luvada Harrison and Linda Thompson Williams for taking the time to answer questions concerning the industry.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery MUVE (Museum of Ventriloquial Objects) Reconfiguring Voice Agency in the Liminality of the Verbal and the Vocal Laura Malacart UCL PhD in Fine Art I, Laura Malacart confirm that the work presented in the thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Laura Malacart ABSTRACT MUVE (Museum of Ventriloquial Objects) Reconfiguring Voice Agency in the Liminality of the Verbal and the Vocal This project aims at reconfiguring power and agency in voice representation using the metaphor of ventriloquism. The analysis departs from ‘ventriloquial objects’, mostly moving image, housed in a fictional museum, MUVE. The museum’s architecture is metaphoric and reflects a critical approach couched in liminality. A ‘pseudo-fictional’ voice precedes and complements the ‘theoretical’ voice in the main body of work. After the Fiction, an introductory chapter defines the specific role that the trope of ventriloquism is going to fulfill in context. If the voice is already defined by liminality, between inside and outside the body, equally, a liminal trajectory can be found in the functional distinction between the verbal (emphasis on a semantic message) and the vocal (emphasis on sonorous properties) in the utterance. This liminal trajectory is harnessed along three specific moments corresponding to the three main chapters. They also represent the themes that define the museum rooms journeyed by the fictional visitor. Her encounters with the objects provide a context for the analysis and my practice is fully integrated in the analysis with two films (Voicings, Mi Piace).

  • Cana, Café, Cacau: Agrarian Structure and Educational Inequalities in Brazil
    CANA, CAFE´ , CACAU: AGRARIAN STRUCTURE AND EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITIES IN BRAZIL* TIM WEGENAST University of Konstanza German Institute of Global and Area Studies ABSTRACT The present paper explores the relationship between agrarian structure and human capital formation between and within Brazil’s federal units. It is argued that whether states’ agriculture is in plantation style, based on cheap coerced labor, or organized around family farming matters for the formulation of educational policies. According to the main claim, landlords were not interested in paying higher taxes to educate the masses and cur- tailed the expansion of schooling in order to keep a cheap workforce and maintain their monopoly over the decision-making process. Describing several episodes in Brazil’s history of public instruction, the paper stresses the distributional conflicts over education as well as the rural aristocracy’s resistance towards broadly-targeted, citizenship-enhancing educational policies. The descriptive evidence is complemented by statistical analyses employing historical as well as more recent data. It is shown that states characterized by a more egalitarian land distribution, which are not under * Received 2 July 2009. Accepted 14 November 2009.

  • Parola Scenica: Towards Realism in Italian Opera Etdhendrik Johannes Paulus Du Plessis
    Parola Scenica: Towards Realism in Italian Opera ETDHendrik Johannes Paulus du Plessis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD by Thesis Abstract This thesis attempts to describe the emergence of a realistic writing style in nine- teenth-century Italian opera of which Giuseppe Verdi was the primary architect. Frequently reinforced by a realistic musico-linguistic device that Verdi would call parola scenica, the object of this realism is a musical syntax in which nei- ther the dramatic intent of the text nor the purely musical intent overwhelms the other. For Verdi the dramatically effective depiction of a ‘slice of a particular life’—a realist theatrical notion—is more important than the mere mimetic description of the words in musical terms—a romantic theatrical notion in line with opera seria. Besides studying the device of parola scenica in Verdi’s work, I also attempt to cast light on its impact on the output of his peers and successors. Likewise, this study investigates how the device, by definition texted, impacts on the orchestra as a means of realist narrative. My work is directed at explaining how these changes in mood of thought were instrumental in effecting the gradual replacement of the bel canto singing style typical of the opera seria of Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini, by the school of thought of verismo, as exemplified by Verdi’s experiments. Besides the work of Verdi and the early nineteenth-cen- tury Italian operatic Romanticists, I touch also briefly on the œuvres of Puccini, ETDGiordano and the other veristi.
