  • Cowlonialism Colonialism, Cattle and Landscapes in 16Th Century New Spain
    Franklin de Jesús Martínez Martínez Cowlonialism Colonialism, cattle and landscapes in 16th century New Spain Master’s thesis in Global Environmental History Abstract Martínez Martínez, F. d. J. 2020. Cowlonialism: Colonialism, cattle and landscapes in 16th century New Spain. Uppsala, Department of Archaeology and Ancient History. Cattle are not endemic to the American continent. Nevertheless, they are present and thrive in many landscapes, all the way from Canada to Argentina. The narratives about the process of colonisation of the American continent include human actors, but there is very little literature in comparison that deals on the influence of cattle in landscapes in the continent. In this thesis, I will contribute to the discussion about more-than-human processes of landscape modification, by analysing archival sources from the New Spain. This region included a big part of the West of the United States, Mexico and Central America. The period I analyse, between 1550 and 1602, represents the first decades of encounter between the Spanish settlers and indigenous communities, in the region of New Spain, where the Spanish established administrative institutions to manage their empire. The documents that I analysed showcase the transformations that cattle caused in the landscape, from how indigenous people lived, to what plants and crops could be cultivated. Inspired by Multi-species studies, ethography, and the concepts of “animal” and “landscape”, I use Actor-Network Theory to create a thoroughly described network of relations. In my analysis, I find that cattle influenced the activities that were performed in the landscape, as well as the ways that other actors interacted with each other.

  • A Bold Vision Forward: a Framework for the Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization Okay, Teacher
    ©2018 ACPA–College Student Educators International LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We wrote this document in Detroit, Michigan, USA. We acknowledge that the land we met on has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples. Prior to the Indian Land Cession 66, the land now known as Detroit, Michigan was traditional territory to the Anishinaabek (Odawa, Potawatomi and Ojibwe), the Miami, the Peoria and Haudenosauneega Confederacy. We honor and respect the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to this territory on which we gathered. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We acknowledge the ACPA Commission Chairs for proposing the idea for this guiding document on the Strategic Imperative for Racial Justice and Decolonization in June 2018 at the ACPA Summer Leadership Meeting. The 2018 ACPA Convention team was also instru- mental in facilitating caucusing for attendees for the first time at convention. We recognize their labor in developing a syllabus, which provided convention attendees with resourc- es to help them understand racial justice and decolonization. Finally, we thank the ACPA Foundation for their generous financial support of the retreat where we were able to engage in dialogue and write this document.

  • President Barack Obama's First Inauguration Was a Blisteringly Cold
    "Among the Sierra Nevada, California" by Albert Bierstadt, 1868 PHOTOS BY DARROW MONTGOMERY President Barack Obama’s first inauguration was a blisteringly cold day for the District of Columbia. Millions of Americans braved below-freezing temperatures to greet the nation’s first black president, with little more than a tangible feeling of optimism to warm the crowds on the National Mall. Street vendors hawked little one-use hand warmers to frigid attendees by the purseful. Tiny packets, little help. One man found his own way to keep out the cold. He gathered tinder and crawled into a sculpture outside the National Museum of the American Indian. Inside he lit a fire and burned a brochure with Obama’s face on it. It wasn’t a protest. When a museum security guard confronted him, the man, who was apparently homeless, said, “I’m just trying to get warm.” The fire didn’t harm the tipi-like structure, called “Taa,” one of several outdoor pieces by the Santa Clara Pueblo sculptor Nora Naranjo-Morse. This work was never meant to last. Since 2007, her clay sculptures—altogether a series called “Always Becoming”— have slowly given way to elements both natural and manmade. Animals and insects have burrowed into the adobe, bamboo, and rawhide. The “Always Becoming” sculptures are bound to surrender to the ground that supports them. For my money, “Always Becoming” offers the best view of the Capitol in the city. Look up at the dome from behind these mounds: Naranjo-Morse’s earthworks serve as a filter on power, a reminder that everything will return to the earth one day.

  • Weaving Mestiza Geographies: an A/R/Tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions
    Weaving Mestiza Geographies: An A/r/tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions Verónica Sahagún Sánchez A Thesis In the Department of Art Education Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Art Education) at Concordia University March 2015 ©Verónica Sahagún Sánchez Abstract Weaving Mestiza Geographies: An A/r/tographic Allegory on Cultural Identity Through the Lens of Vernacular Textile Traditions Verónica Sahagún Sánchez Concordia University, 2015 In Weaving Mestiza Geographies, I use Mexican vernacular textile traditions as the foundation for a self-study focused on my cultural identity. This project departs from my creative pratice and asks: In what ways may the aesthetics of Mexican vernacular textile traditions influence my art making and my teaching as a visual artist trained within Western educational contexts? At a theoretical level, I draw on aspects of feminist epistemologies and geographies, and Mexican history as well as postcolonial theory. I work with a/r/tography, a research methodology that weaves the practices of the artist/researcher/teacher together through a complementary dialogue between image (art) and text (writing). Based on the idea of allegory as a practice that uses symbols to reveal hidden meanings, combining visual and text-based symbols allows me to develop a decolonizing praxis consisting of (un)hiding the Indigenous legacies that form my mestiza (or mixed) identity. Weaving Mestiza Geographies also addresses issues that relate to contemporary craft theory and practice. I approach the craft object as an embodiment of local, communal, familial, and cultural histories as well as of personal memories.

  • Tourism Ontology Picken Review
    Real things, tourist things and drawing the line in the ocean by Felicity Picken University of Tasmania Abstract Tourism is adept at creating ‘versions’ of reality and this is evidenced by the many accounts of the ways in which it is said to reproduce or substitute encounters with an otherwise authentic or pristine reality. This substitution continues to justify tourist attractions as second order realities, partial, staged and representational where they are bracketed off from the real and are often found, by scholars, to be in deficit. At the same time, this very enactment of substitution is applauded and defended upon the premise of protecting what is real – a pristine wilderness or authentic culture. In the case of wilderness, desirable forms of tourism give access to a wilderness experience that does not transgress the wilderness boundary. In this way, the real is performed across two distinct ontological domains, the infamous nature/culture divide, requiring the maintenance of lines of containment. This chapter describes how this inheritance limits the ways in which we encounter tourism as both tourists and scholars. This point is illustrated through an undersea sculpture museum that tells a different story about real things and tourist things. Immersed within the ocean itself, there are no clear boundaries for where the museum ends and the real wilderness begins. Instead, the border between these is a line in the ocean that is violated by both culture and nature performing a mockery of the sense in which tourism is consigned to encountering the real as a proxy. Introduction Western beliefs about reality are steeped in the idea of a single, pure or true reality that can be isolated from various substitute realities.
