V., Chaiuk, T. A., & Karpova, K. S. (2020). Black Lives Matter: Race Discourse and the Semiotics of History Reconstruction.

Borysovych1, Tetyana A. Chaiuk2, Kateryna S. Karpova3 Abstract The death of unarmed black male George Floyd, who was killed by a white police officer in Minneapolis, May 25, 2020, has given momentum to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement whose activists rallied in different parts of the world to remove or deface monuments to historic figures associated with racism, slavery, and colonialism. These social practices of toppling statues have a discursive value and, since they are meant to communicate a message to the broader society, these actions are incorporated into a semiotic system. This study examines signs and, therefore, the system of representations involved in toppling statues performed by BLM activists and documented in photos. The research employs a critical approach to semiotics based on Roland Barthes’ (1964) semiotic model of levels of signification. However, for a comprehensive analytical understanding, the study also makes use of a multidisciplinary Critical Discourse Analysis CDA approach which provides a systematic method to examine and expose power relations, inequality, dominance, and oppression in social practices. Besides its general analytical framework, the integrated CDA approach combines Fairclough’s (1995) three-dimensional analytical approach, which presupposes examining text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice, with Reisigl and Wodak’s (2001, 2017) Discourse Historical Analysis (DHA), which investigates ideology and racism within their socio-cultural and historic context.

    Page 1 of 11 LINCOLN MILL HISTORY Below Is a Summary Of

    LINCOLN MILL HISTORY Below is a summary of what I know about the Lincoln mills. The last of these structures stands on property we own. Early Years In the very late 1600s an impoundment later known as Hunter’s Pond or the Mordecai Lincoln Road Pond was created by constructing a dam at the mouth of Bound Brook. The current mill structure was built next to this pond. The mill site straddles the patent line agreed upon in 1639 as the boundary between the former Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth Colonies. South of the line is the Town of Scituate, founded in 1636. North is the Town of Cohasset. Cohasset was settled in 1670, though it was formerly part of Hingham. It became a separate town in 1770 and was part of Suffolk County until 1793 when it became part of Norfolk County. Prior to 1695 there was no dam or road over Bound Brook. Instead a little distance downstream from the current road location, at a point pushing into the Gulph River estuary, people forded back and forth between Scituate and Beechwood. See the map below. From A Narrative History of the Town of Cohasset, Massachusetts by Edwin Victor Bigelow Page 1 of 11 Original Mills and Dam In 1695 Mordecai Lincoln (blacksmith by trade and the great-great-great grandfather of Abraham Lincoln) built a house on the road fording the stream. He also built a series of mills, but weak water flow from Bound Brook was a problem. The flow was only sufficient to pond water for a couple of days of operation at any one spot.

    2008 Annual Report Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site Page 2 20082008 Annual Report Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site was the 1840s home of Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln, father and stepmother of our 16th president. By that time, Abraham no longer lived with his family, but was a prosperous lawyer living in Springfield, Illinois. However, in addition to family ties, Abraham’s legal work and political ambitions brought him through Coles County, and to his father’s farm on numerous occasions. Today, Lincoln Log Cabin consists of 86 acres of Thomas’s original farm and is preserved by the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency, Division of Historic Sites. The site includes an accurate reproduction of the Lincolns’ two room cabin, reconstructed on the original site in 1935 as a Civilian Conservation Corps project and the circa 1844 Stephen Sargent home, a contrasting nineteenth-century progressive farm; annex sites include the Shiloh Church, and gravesites of Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln, one mile to the west, and the Ruben Moore Home in Farmington, one mile north of the site, scene of President-elect Lincoln’s last visit with his step-mother and extended family in Coles County before his journey to Washington D.C. in 1861. Lincoln Log Cabin hosts approximately 90,000 visitors each year, from almost every state and numerous countries around the world. Since 1981 those visitors journeying to the site during the summer months, and for special events at other times of the year, get to meet and interact with our interpreters and volunteers who portray actual members of the Lincoln and Sargent families or their neighbors.
