Doctorate Project Committee ___________________________________ Joyce Noe ___________________________________ William Chapman ___________________________________ Brian Takahashi Acknowledgments I dedicate this thesis to everyone in my life. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to my committee chair, Professor Joyce Noe, for her support, guidance and insight throughout this doctoral project. Many thanks to my wonderful committee members William Chapman and Brian Takahashi for their precious and valuable guidance and support. Salute to my dear professor Spencer Leineweber who inspires me in spirit and work ethic. Thanks to all the professors for your teaching and encouragement imparted on me throughout my years of study. After all these years of study, finally, I understand why we need to study and how important education is. Overall, this dissertation is an emotional research product. As an idealist, I choose this topic as a lesson for myself to understand life through death. The more I delve into the notion of death, the better I appreciate life itself, and knowing every individual human being is a bless; everyday is a present is my best learning outcome.

  • Hierarchy in the Representation of Death in Pre- and Post-Conquest Aztec Codices
    1 Multilingual Discourses Vol. 1.2 Spring 2014 Tanya Ball The Power of Death: Hierarchy in the Representation of Death in Pre- and Post-Conquest Aztec Codices hrough an examination of Aztec death iconography in pre- and post-Conquest codices of the central valley of Mexico T (Borgia, Mendoza, Florentine, and Telleriano-Remensis), this paper will explore how attitudes towards the Aztec afterlife were linked to questions of hierarchical structure, ritual performance and the preservation of Aztec cosmovision. Particular attention will be paid to the representation of mummy bundles, sacrificial debt- payment and god-impersonator (ixiptla) sacrificial rituals. The scholarship of Alfredo López-Austin on Aztec world preservation through sacrifice will serve as a framework in this analysis of Aztec iconography on death. The transformation of pre-Hispanic traditions of representing death will be traced from these pre- to post-Conquest Mexican codices, in light of processes of guided syncretism as defined by Hugo G. Nutini and Diana Taylor’s work on the performative role that codices play in re-activating the past. These practices will help to reflect on the creation of the modern-day Mexican holiday of Día de los Muertos. Introduction An exploration of the representation of death in Mexica (popularly known as Aztec) pre- and post-Conquest Central Mexican codices is fascinating because it may reveal to us the persistence and transformation of Aztec attitudes towards death and the after-life, which in some cases still persist today in the Mexican holiday Día de Tanya Ball 2 los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. This tradition, which hails back to pre-Columbian times, occurs every November 1st and 2nd to coincide with All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ day in the Christian calendar, and honours the spirits of the deceased.

On May 4, 2017—the National Day of Prayer—during a ceremony outside the White House, President Donald Trump signed an executive order on “Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty.” At the time, the executive order was reported to be a “major triumph” for Vice President Mike Pence, who, as governor of Indiana, famously signed a religious exemption law that would have opened the door to anti-LGBTQ discrimination.1 Among its other directives, the order instructed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to “issue guidance interpreting

  • MEMORANDUM To: Senate Democrats From: Senate Health
    MEMORANDUM To: Senate Democrats From: Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Staff Re: President Trump’s Appointments at HHS: A Dangerous Direction for Women’s Health Date: June 5, 2017 As you have seen, President Trump has appointed Charmaine Yoest as Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs and Teresa Manning as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population Affairs at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), where serve as the lead policy experts on a number of programs and services that affect women’s health. Both positions are appointments made at the pleasure of the President and do not require the advice and consent of the Senate. Alarmingly, these two individuals are among the most outspoken opponents nationally of programs, policies, and practices that advance women’s access to healthcare, and both have dedicated their careers to opposing constitutionally-protected reproductive health care, including safe, legal abortion. We write to make sure you are aware of the extreme degree to which, over the course of their careers, Ms. Yoest and Ms. Manning have prioritized undermining women’s access to basic healthcare services like family planning services and have sought to roll back women’s reproductive rights—including by spreading misinformation. Ms. Yoest and Ms. Manning’s goals run directly counter to the Department’s mission to “enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans,” and the missions of the programs and offices they directly oversee and lead for the country. Their appointments can and will only accelerate President Trump and Vice President Pence’s plans to roll back women’s health, undermine past progress toward LGBTQ equality, and move HHS in a dangerous direction.1 As Congressional Democrats continue efforts to counter the Trump Administration’s deeply harmful approach toward women’s health and rights, close oversight of HHS’s actions under this Administration remain critical.

  • May 30, 2013 the Honorable John A. Boehner
    May 30, 2013 The Honorable John A. Boehner Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 The Honorable Eric Cantor Majority Leader H-329, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor: We, the undersigned representing millions of Americans, strongly support enactment of protections for religious liberty and freedom of conscience. We thank you for your efforts to protect these fundamental rights of all Americans. Given that the threat to religious freedom is already underway for businesses such as Hobby Lobby and others, and that this threat will be directed at religious non-profit organizations on August 1st, we strongly urge House leadership to take the steps necessary to include such protections in the debt limit bill or other must-pass legislation before that deadline. A vital First Amendment right is threatened by the HHS mandate. The mandate will force religious and other non-profit entities to violate their conscience in their health coverage, or face steep fines and other penalties for offering a noncompliant health plan. The penalties for noncompliance could force employers to stop offering health coverage, negatively impacting them as well as those who work for them and their families. The mandate exempts churches, but not other religious entities such as charities, hospitals, schools, health care providers or individuals. Through this mandate the government is dictating which religious groups and individuals are, and are not, religious enough to have their fundamental freedoms respected. We believe this policy constitutes a gross breach of the Constitution’s religious freedom protections as well as the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The Use of Women’s Grief for Political Purposes in America during World War I. This study discusses a politically driven change in American women’s public mourning customs over the fallen of World War I. During the war, government officials and politicians sought to transform women’s grief over a fallen loved one into a celebration of an honorable military death. They actively discouraged the wearing of traditional black mourning and instead urged the wearing of a simple black armband with a gold star. This substituted glory for grief and thus made their loved one’s death a mark of distinction by giving their life in the service of their country.
