The grocery store, which officially closed at 7 p.m. Friday, was bought out by Lea and Mike's, the owners of Food Outlet. Although rumors have been circling about what business will move into the Edwards' Supermarket building, no plans have been established yet, according to Lynn Edwards, the former owner of the supermarket. "I don't regret this decision," Edwards, who owned She supermarket for five years, said. "I gotoutearly, before thingsgot toobad, and1 got enough [mo~iey]to pay my bills off.

  • Facing the Future in Migration's Past
    Double Time: Facing The Future in Migration’s Past Derek Duncan By picturing our wishes as fulfilled, dreams are after all leading us into the future. But this future, which the dreamer pictures as the present, has been moulded by his indestructible wish into a perfect likeness of the past. --Sigmund Freud, Interpretation of Dreams Trauma is not necessarily a single event, but a series of events that affects the imaginary and the symbolic. --Maureen Turim, Flashbacks in Film In La mia casa è dove sono, Igiaba Scego explores the imaginary and real geographies of memory and belonging as she maps the contours of her identity as an Italian woman of Somali origin. Scego paints a vivid picture of her native city’s new materiality: “Una Roma dove la globalizzazione si è fatta carne” (2010, 157). She recounts the astonishment of her brother on his first visit from England when he sees a group of Italian boys playing cricket with some Sri Lankan friends. Scego is quite happy with the new diversity reflecting that “[l]e mazze di cricket e i sari non sono altro che i segni di un futuro che non solo verrà, ma che è già qui da discreto tempo” (157). In the gendered symbolism of the cricket bats and the saris, Scego foresees a multicultural future that has already become past. In a gesture that is characteristic of many attempts to envisage what the nation will become, she then immediately returns to more distant times: “Qui ci sono passati tutti, arabi, normanni, francesi, austriaci. C’è passato Annibale, condottiero africano, con i suoi elefanti” (157-58), a historical fact, she reminds the reader, recalled relatively recently by the Neapolitan hip-hop band Almamegretta.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Future’s Past: Exploring the archival legacy of Expo67 A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Library & Information Science by Patricia Ciccone 2018 © Copyright by Patricia Ciccone 2018 ABSTRACT OF THESIS Future’s Past: Exploring the archival legacy of Expo67 by Patricia Ciccone Master of Library & Information Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Shawn G. VanCour, Chair This thesis addresses the dynamics and logics of public archival encounters in Canada. It examines the historical and national fantasies produced through the reactivation of archival records by focusing on four artistic interventions created for the 50th anniversary celebrations of Expo67 in Montreal. Informed by Svetlana Boym’s twofold categorization of nostalgia, restorative and reflective, I frame these artistic interventions in relation to the archival and exhibition spaces that give shape to their production and examine how the affective impacts of nostalgia become mediated through them. Relying on field notes, observations, interviews and a variety of online sources, I perform discourse analyses of these artworks and question who gets to speak through these public archival interfaces. Concerned with the many ways power, national identity and affect intertwine in archives, this thesis looks at what nostalgia, as a critical tool and framework, can tell us about the way our collective memories are shaped. ii The thesis of Patricia Ciccone is approved.

  • Peer Reviewed Title: Double Time: Facing the Future in Migration's
    Peer Reviewed Title: Double Time: Facing The Future in Migration’s Past Journal Issue: California Italian Studies, 2(1) Author: Duncan, Derek, University of Bristol Publication Date: 2011 Publication Info: California Italian Studies, Italian Studies Multicampus Research Group, UC Office of the President Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/38q389mk Author Bio: Derek Duncan is Professor of Italian Cultural Studies at the University of Bristol. He has published extensively on modern Italian literature, and film with a particular emphasis on issues of sexuality, gender, and migration. He is author of Reading and Writing Italian Homosexuality: a case of possible difference (2006), and has edited a number of publications on Italian colonial and postcolonial culture, including National Belongings (2010). He is editor of the Cultural Studies issue of the long-established journal Italian Studies. His current research project looks at the intersection of sexual and racial identities in contemporary Italian culture. Keywords: migration, contemporary Italian cinema, visibility Local Identifier: ismrg_cisj_8958 Abstract: Interpretations of Italian films about migration tend to refer to the historical experience of emigration or of colonialism as the historical coordinates through which these films are best understood. This article looks at four recent films featuring migrants in prominent roles that appear to elide such an interpretive framework. While the past and its intrusive effects do feature strongly in these films, it is difficult to produce a predictable linear and causal narrative that would link past, present, and future in predictable ways. Stylistically, the four films also represent a notable move away from the realist political agenda and aesthetic that has tended to dominate Italian film production on eScholarship provides open access, scholarly publishing services to the University of California and delivers a dynamic research platform to scholars worldwide.

Midriff serves American hard rock, peppered with some power ballads, which not only invites you to bang your head, but also to sing along. The power trio performs with an unusual setup - the lead singer being also the drummer. In April 2014 Midriff collected invaluable stage and performance experience touring alongside Napalm Records Artist, SERENITY and their War of Ages over Europe Part II tour. Firing up audiences at more than 150 live shows in the last two and a half years, Midriff is showing that there is really only one way to live the Rock and Roll life … on the road and on the stage. THE BEGINNING In April 2010 the longtime friends Paul (singer/drummer) and the brothers Jeremy and Joshua, from Kufstein, Tirol (AT), self-produced a full five song EP Grassman’s Cottage, which magazines continu- ously praised with rave reviews. To promote this EP Midriff played numerous concerts in Austria and also released their first music video for the song Pumping Iron (December 2011) together with guest star Martin Wildauer - the World’s Strongest Man.
