He also described that in the first decades of usage, the term ethnicity had often been used in lieu of older terms such as "cultural" or "tribal" when referring to smaller groups with shared cultural systems and shared heritage, but that "ethnicity" had the added value of being able to describe the commonalities between systems of group identity in both tribal and modern societies.

  • ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCHES and STUDIES No 4, 2014 3 a Lithuanian “Ethnographic Village”: Heritage, Private Property
    ANTHROPOLOGICAL RESEARCHES AND STUDIES No 4, 2014 A Lithuanian “Ethnographic Village”: Heritage, Private Property, Entitlement Kristina Jonutyte Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology Address correspondence to: Kristina Jonutyte, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, PO Box 11 03 51, 06017 Halle (Saale) Germany. Ph.: +49 (0) 345 2927 0; Fax: +49 (0) 345 2927 502; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In this article, various aspects of engagement with the past and with heritage are explored in the context of Grybija village in southern Lithuania. The village in question is a heritage site within an "ethnographic villages" programme, which was initiated by the Soviet state and continued by Independent Lithuania after 1990. The article thus looks at the ideological aspects of heritage as well as its practical implications to Grybija's inhabitants. Moreover, local ideas about private property, righteous ownership and entitlement are explored in their complexity and in relation to the heritage project. Since much of the preserved heritage in the village is private property, various restrictions and prohibitions are imposed on local residents, which are deemed as neither righteous nor effective by many locals. In the meantime, the discourse of the "ethnographic villages" project exotifies and distances the village and its inhabitants, constructing an "Other" that is both admired and alienated. Keywords: heritage site, private property, Lithuania. The fieldsite Grybija is a small village in the far South of Lithuania, Dzūkija region. There are around 50 permanent inhabitants and another dozen or so who stay for the summer, plus weekend visitors.1 The village is in the territory of Dzūkijos National Park which was established in order to protect the landscape as well as natural and cultural monuments of the region.

  • Post-Exotic Pornography Or What´S Color Got to Do With
    Post-Exotic Pornography or What´s Color Got To Do With It? On the Problematics of Representation in Ethnic Pornography and a few Interventions by Queer_Feminists of Color. Whatever ones positon on porn is: One has to realize, that since the developments of the last years, queers and feminists can look at pornography at least a little bit different. Even though the power of mainstream pornography has been continuing and the multiple alternatives posed by genres like queer porn, feminist porn, alt porn and postporn obviously don´t have the influence to pose a real threat to the majoritarian structures of the industry, people with queer desires, bodies and fetishes have entered the frame now since quite some time. In the year 1990, Annie Sprinkle, under guidance of her lover Wink von Kempen, did stage the piece „Post Porn Modernist“. Instead of arousing the audience with a repetition of intensified affects, overstyled bodies and objectified women, „Post Porn Modernist“ was able to deconstruct the clichés of mainstream pornography including its various stereotypes and overcome the normative dimension of sexuality for a vision that included critique and irony, distanciation and transformation. Like other performance artists before her, Sprinkle used the personal narrative and forms of storytelling as a central ingredient for her piece. But what she provided was not only a herstory of her own life, which can be described as a rollercoaster-ride through all possible variations of sexwork, but also a genealogy of the porn genre itself. When Sprinkle became older she didn´t just end her career, like many colleagues before her.

  • From Ethnomathematics to Ethnocomputing
    1 Bill Babbitt, Dan Lyles, and Ron Eglash. “From Ethnomathematics to Ethnocomputing: indigenous algorithms in traditional context and contemporary simulation.” 205-220 in Alternative forms of knowing in mathematics: Celebrations of Diversity of Mathematical Practices, ed Swapna Mukhopadhyay and Wolff- Michael Roth, Rotterdam: Sense Publishers 2012. From Ethnomathematics to Ethnocomputing: indigenous algorithms in traditional context and contemporary simulation 1. Introduction Ethnomathematics faces two challenges: first, it must investigate the mathematical ideas in cultural practices that are often assumed to be unrelated to math. Second, even if we are successful in finding this previously unrecognized mathematics, applying this to children’s education may be difficult. In this essay, we will describe the use of computational media to help address both of these challenges. We refer to this approach as “ethnocomputing.” As noted by Rosa and Orey (2010), modeling is an essential tool for ethnomathematics. But when we create a model for a cultural artifact or practice, it is hard to know if we are capturing the right aspects; whether the model is accurately reflecting the mathematical ideas or practices of the artisan who made it, or imposing mathematical content external to the indigenous cognitive repertoire. If I find a village in which there is a chain hanging from posts, I can model that chain as a catenary curve. But I cannot attribute the knowledge of the catenary equation to the people who live in the village, just on the basis of that chain. Computational models are useful not only because they can simulate patterns, but also because they can provide insight into this crucial question of epistemological status.

Brochini, Chairman, Southern Sierra Miwuk Nation, Yosemite, CA; Danette Johnson, Tribal GIS Analyst, Mariposa, CA ABSTRACT Indigenous names relating to Significant people and places along major tributaries emptying into the great San Joaquin River define culture boundaries. Compilation of data necessary for completing a Tribal GIS database used seven criteria listed by the BIA and implemented into theme layers. When GIS resource layers from other agencies are queried, patterns emerge to relate lineages of 11 culture resource routes through ceremonial villages, camps, and Treaty E and Treaty M boundaries to ethnographic village records. Tribal GIS protocols can be applied to datasets from other tribal cultures using a simple set of table guidelines for watershed nomenclature. INTRODUCTION Just before the culture changes had taken their toll upon the indigenous communities located at a major ford across the Merced River, Se-saw-che had been a central area for local cultures to come together. Resources that existed within a 20 mile radius consisted of salt manufacturing, salmon harvesting, seed fields in the meadows just above the cliffs, bulb and onion fields along the bottoms 2 called “yowoko” meaning “muddy or slow sluggish waters”, and other necessities. 1 This bustling place was used as a crossing by the Chimteya and the Awalache people, by Moraga, by the Gold Rush multinationals, and by the U.S.

  • Fombandrazana Vezo: Ethnic Identity and Subsistence
    FOMBANDRAZANA VEZO: ETHNIC IDENTITY AND SUBSISTENCE STRATEGIES AMONG COASTAL FISHERS OF WESTERN MADAGASCAR by EARL FURMAN SANDERS (Under the Direction of THEODORE GRAGSON) ABSTRACT The complex dynamic among coastal peoples of western Madagascar involves spread of cultural elements due to extensive seasonal migrations, tribes and ethnic groups merging into progressively broader ethnic groups, distinctions based on interethnic and intra-ethnic boundaries, and lumping of peoples with remotely similar subsistence patterns which has perpetuated ethnonym vagaries. This study analyzes the cultural bases of the Vezo, a group of marine fishers inhabiting the west coast of Madagascar, with the intent of presenting a clearer image of what is entailed within the ethnonym, Vezo, both with respect to subsistence strategies and cultural identity. Three broad areas of inquiry, ethnohistory, ecological niche as understood from the Eltonian definition, and geographical scope inform the field research. Access to these areas leans heavily on oral histories, which in turn is greatly facilitated by intensive participant observation and work in the native language. The analysis shows that the Vezo constitute a distinct ethnic group composed of diverse named patrilineal descent groups. This ethnic group is defined by common origins and a shared sense of common history, which along with the origins of the taboos are maintained within their oral histories. Within the ethnonym, Vezo, there are subsistence as well as other cultural distinctions, most notably the taboos. These distinctions are the bases of the ethnic boundaries separating those who belong to the Vezo cultural group and others who are referred to as Vezo (Vezom-potake and Vezo-loatse) due to geographical disposition.
