Commerce Center NB-1, LLC, a sub- sidiary of Prestige Properties, owns 13.9 acres of property just south of the movie theater. Two commercial/retail buildings have their shells already con- structed, with one consisting of a super- market foundation. According to the mayor's office, Joseph Comporatto of Commerce Center NB-1 said there are no tenants at this time, either for the proposed supermarket or for the other available space. Representatives from Prestige Properties could not be reached for com- ment. The current zoning of the property, which is located adjacent to the Commerce Center, is transitional mixed-use, which was changed from industrial back in 1985, according to township zoning official Mike Proietti. He said that the original application for JENNIFER AMATO a supermarket was approved, with the Two commercial/retail buildings have been constructed near the Regal Cinema movie theater on Route 1 in North Brunswick. building permits issued and founda- No tenants have been announced yet, although foundations for a supermarket have been laid. tions constructed.

    Performing Manchyna: Unmapping Promissory Exaltation, Multicultural

    Performing ManChyna: Unmapping Promissory Exaltation, Multicultural Eugenics, and the New Whiteness (Or, “Call Me Dr. ManChyna”) By Andrew Wei Ling (A.W.) William Lee A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Cultural Studies in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright © Andrew Wei Ling William Lee, 2015 Abstract Creating art and performing as ManChyna collectively function as my entry into an autoethnographic mapping of mobility and space within liberal multiculturalism. I introduce the research creative method of autoethnographic creatography, because creation and performance are my interventions into and tools for analyzing social space. My parody of queer Asian racialization upends liberal multiculturalism’s promise of incorporation, or promissory exaltation (invoking Sunera Thobani’s, “racial exaltation”), which instrumentally disciplines and includes putative model minorities and homonorms alike. Thus, assimilation into a queer liberal multiculturalism is my primary theoretical target. Building on José Muñoz’s idea of disidentification, I introduce the notion of disassimilation as a performative embodiment of critical analysis and theory. How can individuals articulate the current contours of liberal ideology? How can one counter an ever-shifting dominant culture from a ‘minor’ point of view when one crucial aim of the latter’s evasive energy is the incorporation of that minor gaze? And how does the minoritarian subject represent

  • Azealia Banks, Seapunk and Atlantis

    Azealia Banks, Seapunk and Atlantis

    AZEALIA BANKS, SEAPUNK AND ATLANTIS: An Embattled Humanist Mixtape [Received September 10th 2016; accepted October 3rd 2016 – DOI: 10.21463/shima.10.2.09] Justin D Burton <[email protected]> Rider University, Lawrenceville, USA ABSTRACT: Azealia Banks’s 2012 Atlantis music video garnered attention for its use of imagery that borrowed its visual aesthetic from a group of internet artists who identified themselves as “seapunk.” Banks released the video months after seapunk’s originators had declared the scene dead and she herself responded to questions about her style by saying “seapunk isn’t real, you know?” Starting at Banks’s declaration of fakery, this article considers Atlantis in the context of the first four songs of the rapper’s Fantasea mixtape, which map a space/sea continuum that uses Afrofuturist signifiers but also frustrates the future-oriented teleology of Afrofuturism. This frustration works as what Sylvia Wynter calls “embattled humanism,” which extends beyond a conception of Afrofuturism that combines the vision of a future elsewhere with the commitment to a present struggle over what it means to be human. KEY WORDS: Atlantis, Azealia Banks, Afrofuturism, embattled humanism, Sylvia Wynter Introduction Azealia Banks released Fantasea while her 2011 debut single ‘212’ was still a radio hit. The rapper, whose instrumental tracks span a variety of pop and dance genres, had first caught the attention of listeners in 2008 when, under the name Miss Bank$, she posted ‘Gimme a Chance’ (which she would later re-record with new vocals for her 2014 debut studio album, Broke with Expensive Taste) and ‘Seventeen’ to YouTube.

It aims to position Afrofuturism at the juncture between alternative and activist media and genre media, highlighting the similar strains of thought and intentions within each body of academic literature, and argues that because genre media and alternative media have comparable goals, Afrofuturism is itself a radical genre/aesthetic. It supports this assertion by discussing the importance of ancient Egypt within Afrofuturism in relation to ancient Egypt’s more general cultural significance to the wider North American and European communities. This report concludes with a case study that investigates the use of ancient Egypt by

    Romancing the Reef: History, Heritage and the Hyper-Real

    Romancing the Reef: history, heritage and the hyper-real Thesis submitted by Celmara Anne POCOCK BA (Hons) UWA in December 2003 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Anthropology, Archaeology and Sociology James Cook University ii Abstract The Great Barrier Reef is regarded as one of the natural wonders of the world and is recognised as having World Heritage significance. The wealth and complexity of its natural attributes form the basis of a rich and complementary human history. However, management of the region is focused on the conservation of natural attributes, sometimes at the cost of human interests and cultural values. This is symptomatic of the way in which many heritage properties are managed and is a source of problems in the identification and interpretation of heritage. There is a need to better understand the human dimensions of such ‘natural wonders’ to ensure effective management. In order to address some of these issues, this thesis explores visitor experiences and knowledge of the Great Barrier Reef with a particular focus on the non-local experiences and knowledge that underpin the region’s global recognition. One of the major issues for management is the mutable nature of heritage values. This research therefore seeks to develop an understanding of how such heritage values are formed, transformed and sustained over time. It takes an historical approach to understand the ways in which visitor knowledge of the Reef has been constructed and transmitted both temporally and spatially. Methods novel to heritage assessments are developed and implemented to identify and contrast visitor experiences in the past and those of the present.

Contact: [email protected] What can we learn from rapper and provocateur, Azealia Banks? By Rob Dozier “My name is Azealia Banks and I’m from New York City. Are you ready to have a good fuckin’ time?” It’s no easy feat for an artist to distill down what they’re trying to do creatively and artistically in one line, but for Banks, making sure you know where she’s reppin, and just having a “good fuckin’ time,” does seem to hit the main points. It’s April 2015, and the Harlem-born rapper is kicking off her set on Coachella’s opening day, her second appearance at the California music festival, the first time being in 2012. In the three-year gap between those performances, Banks had gone from promising rap neophyte to established artist, carving out a lane as someone willing to experiment with different sounds, pulling from hip-hop to house and dance music with three projects—a mixtape, ​Fantasea​, an EP, ​1991​, leading up to her first full-length album, ​Broke With Expensive Taste​, all debuting to varying amounts of critical acclaim.
