While postwar Buraku rights organizations originally displayed a tendency to interrogate Buraku issues insularly, they have increasingly begun to situate the Buraku struggle within a worldwide human rights perspective, which has affected not only Buraku engagement with global organizations such as the UN but also the manner in which equality issues are framed at the local level. This presentation examines human rights museums in Japan as a case study of this phenomenon, dubbed a “global-local feedback loop” by Tsutsui. In the 1980s and 1990s, Buraku activists established a network of human rights museums throughout western and southern Japan. Through field visits to three of these Buraku human rights museums and qualitative content analysis of the museums’ brochures, I have collected evidence of this new global reframing of Buraku identity and political consciousness. This presentation will focus on how these museums reflect Buraku engagement in politics at the local, national, and global levels. 9:50AM to 10:10AM Amir Khaghani, Global Sociocultural Studies Public space and protest in Tehran: Legacy of Enghelab street Tehran has historically been the heart of social and political movements in Iran. Within the premises of Tehran, Enghelab street (literally meaning revolution) has had an enduring presence in all socio-political movements of the city as a place of protest. Accommodating University of Tehran (the biggest modern higher education institute of Iran) and Tehran’s main theater complex and all other cultural institutions, concert halls, boo stores and cafes that came along, made it the beating heart of Tehran and Iran. All through movements that led to the revolution of 1979 and the end of Pahlavi dynasty, Enghelab street was the main space for protests and resistance to happen. In the decades that followed the 1979, Enghelab street never calmed down. Iranian student movements of 1999, rallies of green movement in 2009 and its major incidents (namely the iconic death of Neda Agha-Soltan) and later the unrests of 2018 and 2019 all occurred on Enghelab street and its surroundings. Control and authority over this space has always meant power for various fractions of people, either seeking change and resilience or advocating the status que. This research aims to initially paint a picture of Enghelab street’s importance as a place of protest within the Iranian society and then propose a model of spatial behavior that has been reproduced at various points of its history. This model relates the socio- political power relations embedded in space with spatial identity and perceptions of place. 10:10AM to 10:30AM Tiffany Peacock, Global Sociocultural Studies Re-articulating ‘Black is Beautiful’ Through the Re-Emergence and Expression of Natural Hair in the 21st Century The mobilization of Black women in the 21st century is signaling a change in how images and identities are defined by the white gaze. No longer accepting how beauty is ascribed onto Black bodies, Black women are subverting past beauty ideals through the cultivation and styling of their own aesthetics and representation of Black beauty. Focusing on how the embodiment and assertion of Blackness is expressed through natural hair, I discuss how the growth of black consciousness in the Natural Hair Movement is cultivating transnational connections across the African diaspora. The increased embracing of kinky, coily, and curly hair textures signifies how prior idealizations of beauty instilled through colonialism are being broken and replaced by beauty practices that prioritizes the expression of Blackness. Originating within the Black is Beautiful and Black Power movements, the shaping of Black consciousness through the expression of hair is cultivating transnational connections across the diaspora. The reemergence of natural hair in Black communities depicts the growing momentum of Black women to reassert and stylize their own representations of beauty through the styling and re- imagining of Black hair. The expression and styling of hair is unique and contextually dependent on the socio-cultural environment of Black communities throughout the diaspora. Each culture, community, and nation face similar and diverse challenges depending on how colonialism, white supremacy, and the defining of a national image has occurred. The purpose of this paper is to address how Black women are engaging in transnational Black feminism through the assertion and expression of natural hair. Engaging blackness as a mobilizer, Black women are empowering women to love their hair while transforming and subverting prior notions of “good” or “bad” hair. Additionally, this paper will consider the theorizations of Blackness by examining how the Natural Hair Movement is displaying and engaging the ranging diversities of Black bodies through the re-articulation of “Black is Beautiful”. Break #1: 10:30AM to 10:40AM Session 2: In Death and Memorialization 10:40AM to 11:00AM A’keitha Carey, African & African Diaspora Studies/Global Sociocultural Studies Dance/Film In Death… In Death…is a solo featured in a larger ensemble work titled Rose Water. In Death…was created in response to the death of my grandmother who died of COVID-19 in Nassau, Bahamas in 2020. The solo is an exploration of the experience of pain, loss, (mis)information, resistance, and the process of healing and features 3 sections which explore 3 memories of my grandmother. This work investigates the emotional economy of family members and includes embodied narrative fidelity as a criterion for analysis and interpretation. Through this exploration, I engage with cultural performance (dance) as a method to express Caribbean realities as it relates to the (mis)education, healthcare, and trauma of those affected by COVID-19 in the Global South. I will show the third memory to discuss and code the performance demonstrating how embodied theory is a tool for analyzing socio-political themes. 11:00AM to 11:20AM Jacquelyn Johnson, Global Sociocultural Studies Legitimizing liminality: From "feral" cats and crazy cat ladies to "community" cats’ caretakers Human-cat relations in urban spaces depend on complex and contingent systems of overlapping policies, ordinances, and state statutes. While the recent trend toward reworking the concept of “feral” cats to be “community” cats is a strategic effort to engage with public perceptions of where these cats belong and legitimate cat access to urban spaces, the uneven acceptance and use of the terms perpetuate a liminal existence where governance strategies overlap in incongruous ways. Cats defy binaries and boundaries humans impose on life and space. This presentation draws from an empirical study of this rhetorical shift and explores how cat caretakers are perceived and experience the entanglements of human-cat relations in South Florida. Selections from ethnographic interviews will be read, and a discussion will argue that strategic shifts toward theorizing and labeling cats as “community” is part of a concerted effort to legitimize the liminal space and existence of cats and their caretakers. As the data will show, the process of legitimization is experienced unevenly. Confronting the negative associations associated with ferality is a pivotal first step, but much work remains to legitimize liminal urban animals. ______________________________________________________________________________ Break #2: 11:20AM-11:30AM ______________________________________________________________________________ 11:30AM to 12:15PM KEYNOTE SPEAKER Vrushali Patil, PhD Associate Professor of Sociology, Department of Global Sociocultural Studies Florida International University Creating Critical Knowledges in Post-Truth Times: Lessons from Histories of Knowledge, Power, and Insurgency This talk will address the current post-truth moment in historical perspective. First tracking the intimate entanglements between power relations having to do with coloniality, empire, race, gender and sexuality and legitimate knowledge claims, it will then consider the challenges posed by oppositional, subjugated, and insurgent knowledges. It will situate current attempts to weaponize knowledge claims for the sake of maintaining power within these histories, parsing continuities and discontinuities with older processes. It will end with some lessons for social scientists interested in producing knowledge connected to social justice work today. ______________________________________________________________________________ Lunch Break: 12:15PM to 1:15PM ______________________________________________________________________________ Session 3- Mobility, Autonomy, Identity, and Ecotourism 1:20PM-1:40PM

  • Why Ile's New Album, ​Almadura​, Is Both Departure and Evolution
    Why iLe’s New Album, Almadura, Is Both ​ ​ Departure and Evolution from Calle 13 iLe’s natural and inherited musical talents were nurtured between classic piano training and the hyper-political songs of Calle 13, Puerto Rico’s most influential group in the last few decades. Now the singer/songwriter takes center stage with her haunting and flaring album Almadura. She and Alicia revisit moments of inspiration and desperation—especially for her beloved PR’s political limbo—and pull threads from the vivid stories and powerful messages that elevate her music to anthem status. __________________________________________________________________________________ Lyrics: Congelado, paralizado Sin moverse, hipnotizado Con los ojos vendados, los oídos tapados Sin saber hacia donde vamos Alicia Menendez: That was Sin Masticar from iLe’s Almadura. For the Puerto Rican singer and songwriter, music has long been a family affair. As a teen, her brothers recruited her to become a member of Calle 13. Together, they’ve won three Grammys and 21 Latin Grammys. iLe has spent the past few years reintroducing herself as a solo artist, and along with Residente, her brother, and Bad Bunny, co-wrote and performed Afilando los cuchillos, the song that became the anthem to Puerto Rico’s protests. Listening to Almadura, it is clear that iLe, like the island she loves, is recognizing the depths of her own strength. Welcome to New York City. iLe: Thank you. Menendez: Good to see you in your hotel room. Thank you for making this work. I appreciate you. You released Almadura prior to the protests ousting the governor. Your lyrics I saw in countless protest signs.

    Pensar en panal Apuntes sobre las protestas masivas en Puerto Rico, Julio 2019 Luis Othoniel ! 0. Las causas no importan, y sí las resistencias ! Hace unos días una amiga poeta española muy solidaria me pregunta qué está pasando en Puerto Rico y yo le cuento de la hermosura que son estas semanas de protestas masivas y le cuento de lo que veo con euforia. Ella, sin embargo, me pregunta por las “causas” de la protesta. Pues yo le explico que si el chat, que si la corrupción, que si los fondos federales para la recuperación post-María, que si la Junta, que si Trump… Y de pronto la amiga española me pregunta lo temido: ¿pero explícame de nuevo el estatus político de la isla? ¡Puñeta! Acá vamos otra vez. Los puertorriqueños estamos condenados a la explicación de nuestra supuesta excepcionalidad. Hago lo que todos hacemos (¿lo quieres en español o en el difícil?), resumo lo más rápido que puedo las peculiaridades históricas de cuatro siglos de colonialismo español y esclavitud, la invasión americana del 98, la constitución del 52, el neoliberalismo de las vacas gordas en los noventa, la crisis económica que “comienza” en el 2004, la relación simbiótica con la diáspora y el decrecimiento poblacional diseñado, la Ley Promesa (La Junta), los 4,645 muertos del huracán María, y el sinvergüencismo de la élite criolla y blanca que nos gobierna. Como bien sabes, lector boricua, luego de explicar el estatus colonial de la isla también tienes que decir tu preferencia y dar razones convincentes. Y tienes que dar el resumen bien rápido porque no hay tiempo que perder.

It is an argument as to why libraries should collect materials for the study and research of these genres. As music research interest shifts from the Western European canon, libraries should face these changes proactively.
