More Filters. The credibility of this study is further bolstered though direct quotations from the interviews. We are interested, in particular, in re-considering the terminology and narrative that intellectual and political actors from North America and Asian countries used in their effort to define the path of development taken by their nations and communities during a time of rapid change. As mentioned earlier, the EA has enclosed the entire focal area on both sides with wooden slat walls suggestive of the crates popular for transporting produce. Ethnicity, religion, and national identity in modern Chinese thought and the discipline of ethnic minority philosophies - Imagining the medical body in early modern Japan, - An intellectual genealogy of islam in modern China. She details that American themes like individualism, freedom, and power are indebted to the presence of the black other who, in the conditions of slavery, was neither free nor powerful. Bal has asserted that the expository agent or museum denotes not only curators or directors but also the entire institution, including its origins, goals, politics, financial status, staff, and collection. Nevertheless, they acknowledge that their research in this deeply divided society gains insight from being theorized. B Unknown. It ranges widely across Europe, featuring the well-known national historiographies of countries such as Britain, France and Germany as well as the less well-known national historiographies of many of the smaller nation-states and stateless nations in Europe. Nationalism and historiography. The next two male figures are grouped together. Wars Fought for Peace and International Peacekeeping. For instance, the three politicians that you see at the back wall, they were all mentioned by this contract researcher. There are no discussion topics on this book yet. In other city states, including Florence, the demands of diplomacy and governance also fostered new techniques of record-keeping. It has alerted us to how the technology and products of writing seep into social strata that include many people who do not possess the capacity to use them. Print also enabled the development of a new culture for the transmission of information. I identify myself as a white woman descended from English, Scottish, and French families who participated in settlement on Aboriginal lands in Canada. Circulating in both manuscript and print, they also served to advertise expertise, disseminate sound methods, register symptoms and record remedies and improve understanding of the mysterious human body. The nation is therefore staring down its th birthday in , within the context of its colonial legacy, silenced histories, and multiple, shifting identities in the present. When one is facing this exhibit, Rights of People with Disabilities is to its right, and Resisting Religious Oppression is situated to its left. This overarching emphasis on education is manifested by a variety of initiatives. In October , I made a third and final visit to the Museum. Community Reviews. Moses, John A. Duncan and Wallach have highlighted how institutions of power, especially museums, reference past civilizations in an attempt to create the illusion of antiquity. This rich and varied historical trajectory has endowed the encounter between Chinese and Western thought in contemporary comparative philosophy with the potential to usher in philosophical paradigm changes outside of the field of Sinology. The focal area of this exhibit comprises four cast-iron figures standing in front of a bicycle, each holding a video screen. Introduction Constructing the Nation Through History 2.

Preserving and ordering images and intercessions for the use of their original purchasers and subsequent owners, they operated as a link between the official liturgy of the Church and the domain of the home. Section 2. The relationship of participants to the exhibits in Chapter Therefore, historical consciousness is not static, involves a high degree of reflexivity, and may not be valid in another time and place. These themes were then grouped into categories based on similarity. They were by- products of the dispersal of manuscripts from dissolved religious houses and of the determination of figures such as John Leland, John Bale and Matthew Parker to preserve selected medieval textual relics before they disappeared. Is this you? The latter was a reiterative procedure of going back and forth between the scholarship detailed above pg. In the city and country alike, an army of amateur and professional clerks, notaries, scribes and amanuenses arose to meet demand for chirographic skills in commercial, legal and personal contexts. Especially through the study of surviving annotations, they have shown how the flyleaves and margins of books functioned as interactive and collaborative environments in which heated debate and dialogue took place and in which people engaged in private meditation. For instance, the Canadian Teachers' Federation has partnered with the Museum to develop comprehensive educational programming for use in classrooms throughout Canada Canadian Museum for Human Rights, Research Feed. Classical archival theory distinguishes between the two very precisely. After , the provincial government in BC enacted legislation denying Chinese people the right to buy, lease, or pre-empt Crown lands Roy, The CMHR is located on a stretch of land locally known as the Forks, at the convergence of two significant rivers: the Assiniboine and the Red. Theorists of critical museology are often influenced by the ideas of French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault , He argued that this value-laden interpretation of history can typically be mapped onto four types of historical consciousness through which learners can move: 1 the traditional sense an unquestioned reception of a historical interpretation , 2 the exemplary sense an ability to show single case rules and principles , 3 the critical sense the demonstration of moral reasoning , and 4 the generic sense a capacity to place interpretation of an event into historical context. McLaughlin, who is a research associate with the International Migration Centre, prepared a content package for the CMHR and visits were then made to the farms and homes of several migrant workers throughout Canada. On countless Saturdays over the past six years, he parented our boys to give me the headspace I needed to get the work done. No thanks. It echoes this volume as a whole in issuing a call for deeper critical awareness of the ways in which archives quite literally construct the history that we write. It creates an immersive historicity, an atmosphere of being personally involved in experiencing history in a virtual world as time travellers. Cochrane Princeton, The CAC was tasked with initiating public roundtables in 19 cities, involving Canadian citizens. Thus, the concept of historical significance, and in particular questions around the inclusion, distinction and positioning of certain primary materials over others in the five exhibits, informed certain of the questions on the data collection and analysis tools described. However, there are certainly ways to broaden this conversation. Thus, although the mise-en-espace of the focal area gives predominant visibility to the personal experience of migrant workers, the wooden slat walls are a foreboding reminder of the difficult and dehumanizing work that dominates their everyday existence. For the statute of , see J. CH15 European identity and the politics of remembrance. In contrast, Bal argues that real visitors are diverse in age, gender, class, ethnicity, and religion, and they view the exhibition from their unique standpoints. The photo series in the focal area of the Chinese Canadians and Immigration Policy exhibit The Museum exterior. Thus, the labyrinth of alabaster ramps therefore offers the opportunity for what Ellsworth has described as an aesthetic pedagogical experience that exceeds decoding the representational material in the galleries.

  • Memorial Struggles and Power Strategies of the Rights in Latin America Today
    http://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n31.2019.01 Memorial struggles and power strategies of the rights in Latin America today Luchas memoriales y estrategias de poder de las derechas en América Latina hoy Verónica Giordano Teacher and Researcher UBA and CONICET [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7299-6984 Gina Paola Rodríguez Teacher and Researcher UNLPam and UBA [email protected] Orcid code: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1702-3386 Abstract Recently, right-wing forces of different origins and types have sprung up in Latin America. In this article, four countries are studied: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Peru. The first two correspond to cases in which the right-wing groups stand in opposition to the so-called progressive governments. The other two correspond to cases in which they stand in a political system with a strong continuity of predominance of right-wing forces. Since there are few studies with an overall perspective, this article seeks to make a contribution in that direction. The objective is to analyze the non-electoral strategies of construction and/ or exercise of power implemented by the right-wing groups around the memorial struggles. Based on the review of journalistic sources and speeches of the national right-wing referents, this article analyzes how current right-wing groups have proceeded to the institution of languages and the definition of a field of meanings that dispute the meaning of the recent past. From a comparative perspective, it is argued that in all four cases negationism offers an effective repertoire for these groups, which is used in their non- electoral (as well as electoral) strategies for building hegemony at the cultural level.

  • The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge Or Encyclopaedia for the Nation?
    The Case of Croatian Wikipedia: Encyclopaedia of Knowledge or Encyclopaedia for the Nation? 1 Authorial statement: This report represents the evaluation of the Croatian disinformation case by an external expert on the subject matter, who after conducting a thorough analysis of the Croatian community setting, provides three recommendations to address the ongoing challenges. The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikimedia Foundation is publishing the report for transparency. Executive Summary Croatian Wikipedia (Hr.WP) has been struggling with content and conduct-related challenges, causing repeated concerns in the global volunteer community for more than a decade. With support of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, the Foundation retained an external expert to evaluate the challenges faced by the project. The evaluation, conducted between February and May 2021, sought to assess whether there have been organized attempts to introduce disinformation into Croatian Wikipedia and whether the project has been captured by ideologically driven users who are structurally misaligned with Wikipedia’s five pillars guiding the traditional editorial project setup of the Wikipedia projects. Croatian Wikipedia represents the Croatian standard variant of the Serbo-Croatian language. Unlike other pluricentric Wikipedia language projects, such as English, French, German, and Spanish, Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia’s community was split up into Croatian, Bosnian, Serbian, and the original Serbo-Croatian wikis starting in 2003. The report concludes that this structure enabled local language communities to sort by points of view on each project, often falling along political party lines in the respective regions.

Thesis Summary From serious violations of human rights, international law derives a set of consequences that fall to the responsible states. These consequences take the form of secondary obligations arising from primary rules and standards, which guide governments in the process of coming to terms with a violent past. This thesis argues that some of these legal constraints, because of the manner in which they have been developed in practice, may affect the way wrongdoing states choose to deal with their past. As a result, they influence the processes of memory-making within societies. Through the legal analysis of international norms and their application to, and implementation in, situations of gross and systematic human rights abuses, this research develops the concept of a duty of memory under international law.

  • Historical Translatability
    Historical Translatability Primo Levi Amongst the Snares of European History 1938– 1987 By Domenico S c a r p a (Turin) Taking his cue from the groundbreaking English translation of ›The Complete Works‹ of Primo Levi (recently published in America by Liveright) and focusing on Levi’s early writing, the author argues for the necessity of re-reading Primo Levi today, pleading for a new historical and chronological approach to his work. 1. I would like to begin with an explanation of the two dates in my subtitle, 1938 and 1987. 1938 is the year when the Fascist regime led by Mussolini passed rac- ist laws against Jews. This event not only put on Italian Jews the burden of an increasing self-consciousness, but it also marked the beginning of their “search for roots,” the construction of a cultural identity for the many of them who were not particularly religious or aware of their heritage or tradition. Primo Levi was himself such a secular Jew. More importantly, the racist laws of 1938 made Italian Jews aware of an im- pending catastrophe. 1938 brought about the recognition of a further dimen- sion in national and European history. Metaphorically speaking, 1938 broke the back of Italian historical continuity. Shattering Italian identity, it was the first of many fractures that were to occur in the decade to follow. There was the entry of Italy into World War II on June 10, 1940, the fall of the Fascist regime on July 25, 1943, the complete collapse and dissolution of the Italian state after the armistice with the Allies on September 8, 1943, the liberation and the victory of the Italian Resistance on April 25, 1945, the institution of the republic in 1946 and, finally, the writing and promulgation of the new constitution of the Repubblica Italiana in 1948.

    Arguing with Socialists: Glenn Beck 3.86 CLEARED FOR RELEASE 05/07/2020 [Economic Battle PlanTM points: 93) The Socialist Threat Against American Liberty and What You Need to be Doing About it. In 2018, Economic War Room featured the 7 Deadly Sins of Socialism in Episodes 11 and 12. You mission was focused on the importance of protecting western civilization and liberty. Unfortunately, the Bernie Sanders, Ocasio Cortez’s and the radical left continue to march down the path of Socialism for America. The Communist have had a long-term plan to overthrow America’s democracy and it has been executed for decades with success. Remember, they said not one shot will need to be fired. All this as America’s boomer generation assumes America will always be America. With a crisis like the pandemic, however, there’s a power grab and accelerant toward tyranny. Howard Zinn has rewritten America’s history books (see Episode 83) and much of the entertainment business is giving America’s youth a false history of America (see Episode 81). The greatness of America (free markets and individual liberty) is not being communicated. At the same time crony “capitalists” have broken the golden rule of free markets for their own monetary gain. The socialist/communist plan to change America is being executed perfectly. Now with a COVID-19 pandemic, the Government is experimenting with tools to protect citizens by shutting down the economy, and then applying extreme stimulus tools to restart the economy. The last time the Government experimented with the economy this much was during the Great Depression.
