Award Winner Spotlight > By Rikki Davenport HistoryMiami The Guayabera, A Shirt’s Story he Guayabera, A Shirt’s Story. “Hmm,” I thought when I began the review of this HistoryMiami Leadership in History Award T nomination, “this must be some shirt.” Then I saw the shirt and it was some shirt. It was the shirt of my childhood! All of a sudden I remembered walking down Olvera Street in Los Angeles eating taquitos with my sister, family gatherings with guitars strumming, and generations of relatives chattering in Spanish—even my own wedding. All of those memories had people wearing the shirt, the guayab- era. Prior to this moment, I never knew the shirt had a name, never knew it had a history, but now the story of the guayab- era was personal and I had yet to read the pictures’ captions. HistoryMiami’s Folklorist Michael Knoll was drawn to the guayabera’s dis- tinctive style when he moved to Miami from Wisconsin. Knoll saw that the shirt was more than a passing fashion trend of south Florida. “I learned that the shirt is of particular meaning to our Cuban community, but is also popular with lo- cal residents from other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean,” he said. “I also learned that Miami is a major hub for President Luis Echeverría (clapping) with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince today’s guayabera industry. In fact, local Philip of England, 1975. designers and businesses are responsible In an effort to humanize the presidency, Mexican president Luis Echevarría often wore the guayabera.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

  • The Red Sneakers Effect: Inferring Status and Competence from Signals of Nonconformity
    The Red Sneakers Effect: Inferring Status and Competence from Signals of Nonconformity SILVIA BELLEZZA FRANCESCA GINO ANAT KEINAN This research examines how people react to nonconforming behaviors, such as entering a luxury boutique wearing gym clothes rather than an elegant outfit or wearing red sneakers in a professional setting. Nonconforming behaviors, as costly and visible signals, can act as a particular form of conspicuous consumption and lead to positive inferences of status and competence in the eyes of others. A series of studies demonstrates that people confer higher status and competence to non- conforming rather than conforming individuals. These positive inferences derived from signals of nonconformity are mediated by perceived autonomy and moderated by individual differences in need for uniqueness in the observers. An investigation of boundary conditions demonstrates that the positive inferences disappear when the observer is unfamiliar with the environment, when the nonconforming behavior is depicted as unintentional, and in the absence of expected norms and shared standards of formal conduct.

The artifacts, derived from seven different geographical/cultural regions of Mexico, include maps, posters, objects that symbolize the regional culture, and typical regional costumes, music, and folk dance. It recommends a maximum of three to five regions be presented at one time to avoid overwhelming the students. The project can be used in high school Spanish, world or global studies or contemporary issues, or English as a second language classes.

  • Notice: Uniform and Dress Code
    NOTICE: UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE Dear Students: It is our hope that the COVID-19 public health risk will be adequately under control for some of our classes to be held in face-to-face mode in the coming academic year. Please contact your department to determine if you will have face-to-face sessions in the coming semester. There is a list of email addresses for the Deans and HODs in Appendix B A dress code or uniform is typical for academic programmes that culminate in professional qualifications. Institutions of higher education that provide professional qualification all have expectations for students to be attired in a manner consistent with the profession for which they are preparing. As part of our culture at The Mico, we require adherence to a dress code that recognises the relatively conservative nature of the teaching profession in our context. The dress code describes how students are expected to be attired for classes, Practicum and other field work, as well as official functions of The Mico. This communiqué is focused on requirements for face-to-face activities, but be reminded that the guidelines for online interaction remain. Your entire experience here is part of your professional development. Employees of The Mico reserve the right, therefore, to respectfully request that clients be appropriately attired to access facilities and services of the institution. GENERAL DRESS CODE Our mode of dress contributes to an image of a person who is professional, respectful and respectable, worthy of the charge of young, impressionable individuals. We therefore require that for all academic, administrative and professional interactions of The Mico – whether on the campus or not – students observe the guidelines in the Undergraduate Student Handbook section on Personal Appearance and Dress Code (pg 67 of the 2017-2020 edition that is still in force).
