Letter from TH Ainsworth, previously of the City Museum, Vancouver, Canada, to Beatrice Blackwood, 19 June 1968. Summary: Acknowledging the Pitt Rivers Museum Annual Report. Ainsworth’s bad health.

  • Diamond Jenness (1886-1969)
    Diamond Jenness (1886-1969) HENRY B. COLLINS and WILLIAM E. TAYLOR Jr. Canada’smost distinguished anthropologist, Dr. Diamond Jenness, formerly Chiefof the Division of Anthropology, National Museums of Canada, and Honorary Associate of the Arctic Institute of North America, died peacefully at his home in the Gatineau Hills near Ottawa on 29 November, 1969. He was one of that rapidly-vanishing, virtually extinct kind - the all round anthropolo- gist, who, working seriously, turned out first-class publications in all four major branches of the discipline : ethnology, linguistics, archaeology, and physical anthropology. One must also add a fifth: applied anthropology, a fitting designa- tion for theseries of monographs on Eskimo administration in Alaska, Canada, and Greenland which he wrote after his retirement and which were published by the Arctic Institute between 1962 and 1968. Diamond Jennesswas born in Wellington,New Zealand, on 10 February 1886, and attended Victoria University College, one of the four branches of the University ofNew Zealand, wherehe graduated withfirst class honours in classics in 1908. Later he studied at Balliol College, Oxford, under one of the outstanding ethnologists of the time, Professor R. R. Marett. He received both a B.A. in Lit. Hum. and a diploma in Anthropology at Oxford in 1911. In 191 1-12 he was designated Oxford Scholar in Papua and was sent by the Uni- versity to make anthropological studies among the Northern d’Entrecasteaux, a primitive tribe dwelling on the islands of the D’Entrecasteaux Archipelago off the east coast of New Guinea. The results of this first field-work were published by Oxford University (1 920a).

  • SEAN LYNCH a BLOW by BLOW ACCOUNT of STONE CARVING in OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This Exhibition Presents the Varied Practice of Artist Sean Lynch (B
    MODERN ART OXFORD SEAN LYNCH A BLOW BY BLOW ACCOUNT OF STONE CARVING IN OXFORD 12 April – 8 June This exhibition presents the varied practice of artist Sean Lynch (b. Kerry, Ireland, 1978) through a range of works including sculpture, photographs and a slide projection located in Modern Art Oxford’s yard, shop, Project Space and cafe. Lynch is interested in recovering moments in history which have thus far eluded popular consciousness. Adopting an ethnographic approach to his research, he reassembles lost artefacts, fragments and narratives to present an alternative perspective on the past. For this exhibition, Lynch concentrates primarily on the legacy of the O’Shea brothers, stone carvers from Ireland whose handiwork can be seen in Oxford today. Known for their skilled carvings adorning significant Victorian buildings in Dublin created during the 1850s, the O’Sheas were invited by the University of Oxford to work on the new Museum of Natural History. Lynch’s slide projection, presented in the Project Space, explores a controversy that arose after the O’Sheas carved a series of monkeys into the facade of the Natural History Museum. Construed as a reference to Darwin’s then contentious theory of evolution; the brothers were dismissed, only to attempt a final rebellious carving of parrots and owls over the doorway of the museum, intended to caricature the authorities of the University. Lynch carefully weaves this tale into the documented history of The Ark, the UK’s first public museum located in Lambeth, London and founded in the 1630s by John Tradescant, whose collection later formed the basis of the Ashmolean Museum.

  • Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights
    Marine-Oriented Sama-Bajao People and Their Search for Human Rights AURORA ROXAS-LIM* Abstract This research focuses on the ongoing socioeconomic transformation of the sea-oriented Sama-Bajao whose sad plight caught the attention of the government authorities due to the outbreak of violent hostilities between the armed Bangsa Moro rebels and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in the 1970s. Among hundreds of refugees who were resettled on land, the Sama- Bajao, who avoid conflicts and do not engage in battles, were displaced and driven further out to sea. Many sought refuge in neighboring islands mainly to Sabah, Borneo, where they have relatives, trading partners, and allies. Massive displacements of the civilian populations in Mindanao, Sulu, and Tawi- Tawi that spilled over to outlying Malaysia and Indonesia forced the central government to take action. This research is an offshoot of my findings as a volunteer field researcher of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) and the National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP) to monitor the implementation of the Indigenous People’s Rights to their Ancestral Domain (IPRA Law RA 8371 of 1997). Keywords: inter-ethnic relations, Sama-Bajao, Taosug, nomadism, demarcation of national boundaries, identity and citizenship, human rights of indigenous peoples * Email: [email protected] V olum e 18 (2017) Roxas-Lim Introduction 1 The Sama-Bajao people are among the sea-oriented populations in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Sama-Bajao are mentioned together and are often indistinguishable from each other since they speak the same Samal language, live in close proximity with each other, and intermarry.

Begun in England 150 years ago, it took more than 60 years to complete, and when it was finally finished in 1928, the British prime minister heralded it as a ‘national treasure’. It maintained this image throughout the twentieth century, and in 2006 the English public voted it an ‘Icon of England’, alongside Marmite, Buckingham Palace, and the bowler hat. But this book shows that the dictionary is not as ‘British’ as we all thought. The linguist and lexicographer, Sarah Ogilvie, combines her insider knowledge and experience with impeccable research to show that the OED is in fact an international product in both its content and its making. She examines the policies and practices of the various editors, applies qualitative and quantitative analysis, and finds new OED archival materials in the form of letters, reports, and proofs. She demonstrates that the OED,in its use of readers from all over the world and its coverage of World English, is in fact a global text. sarah ogilvie is Director of the Australian National Dictionary Centre, Reader in Linguistics at the Australian National University, and Chief Editor of Oxford Dictionaries, Australia.

    A British Reflection: the Relationship between Dante’s Comedy and the Italian Fascist Movement and Regime during the 1920s and 1930s with references to the Risorgimento. Keon Esky A thesis submitted in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. University of Sydney 2016 KEON ESKY Fig. 1 Raffaello Sanzio, ‘La Disputa’ (detail) 1510-11, Fresco - Stanza della Segnatura, Palazzi Pontifici, Vatican. KEON ESKY ii I dedicate this thesis to my late father who would have wanted me to embark on such a journey, and to my partner who with patience and love has never stopped believing that I could do it. KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi. Without his assistance throughout these many years, this thesis would not have been possible. For his support, patience, motivation, and vast knowledge I shall be forever thankful. He truly was my Virgil. Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

  • What Happens When You Die? from the Smallest to the Greatest, from the Richest to the Poorest, Everyone Eventually Dies
    The Real Truth A MAGAZINE RESTORING PLAIN UNDERSTANDING This article was printed from www.realtruth.org. ARTICLE FROM JULY - AUGUST 2006 ISSUE What Happens When You Die? From the smallest to the greatest, from the richest to the poorest, everyone eventually dies. But what happens after death? Can you know for sure? BY KEVIN D. DENEE enjamin Franklin wrote, “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Every minute on earth, B 108 people die. Ultimately, everyone dies. It is not a matter of if, but when. Sadly, and due to a wide variety of reasons and circumstances, some seek death, considering it the only solution. Others try to delay the inevitable through good health. Still others tragically lose their lives through time and chance. Sometimes disease or other illnesses bring a death sentence, leaving the person with nothing to do but wait for the end. Many view the end of their lives with uneasiness. They ponder, “What’s next?”— “Will I live again?”—“Is this it?”—“Will I ever see my loved ones again?”—“Where am I going after this life?” Photo: KRT In contrast, others view death with fear of the unknown. Some fear the process and the suffering that may accompany death. Others, racked with guilt, have a different type of fear—fear that they will burn forever in “hell fire.” Whatever the viewpoint, feelings or circumstances of one’s life—ultimately, life ends. Because of this unavoidable reality, every person at some point in his or her life thinks about the subject of death.
