  • Internations.Org Seattle - Riga
    InterNations.org Seattle - Riga SHORT STORIES & POESY E-BOOK EDITION 2020 FOREWORD Standing at the start of 2021, we look back at the past year and realize a year ago we were unknowingly perched atop a precipice. None of us knew that in the following weeks and months, life as we knew it—the world as we knew it—would change irrevocably. In many ways the destruction of our previous life is complete; and yet, a phoenix has risen from those ashes of our former existence. At the same time that global lockdowns built up walls to separate and “distance” us, InterNations broke down the walls of geography and brought us together in a new, online community. Our calendars, suddenly empty deserts devoid of commutes, office hours, and in-person socializing, instead offered us a new-found wealth of time, time we used to develop untapped talents and unexpected potentials. The microfiction works contained in this collection are the fruit of these creative explorations. Over the course of 2020 dozens of InterNations members set pen to paper, many for the first time ever, and crafted mini-works around given themes and key words. With limits on length ranging from 250-350 words, together we discovered that writing was something of which we are all capable. We particularly applaud those who bravely shared pieces composed in languages other than their mother tongue. We hope that you will all enjoy reading the stories and poems in this e-book, published exclusively for the authors themselves. And we encourage all the authors to continue nurturing their nascent literary talents as we very much look forward to seeing more of your work in 2021! Margie Banin & Claude G.

  • By Meredith Tax with Marjorie Agosin, Ama Ata Aidoo, Ritu Menon, Ninotchka Rosca, and Mariella Sala
    THE POWER OF THE WORD: CULTURE, CENSORSHIP, AND VOICE By Meredith Tax with Marjorie Agosin, Ama Ata Aidoo, Ritu Menon, Ninotchka Rosca, and Mariella Sala Published by Women's WORLD (Women's World Organization for Rights, Literature and Development) August, 1995 CONTENTS Introduction I. The Global Crisis Changes in the world situation between 1985 and 1995 have led to a deepening global subsistence crisis marked by wars, refugees, and environmental degradation, to which the only political answers we hear are either the neo-liberal ones of globalization or the appeals to tradition of backlash movements. II. Competing Visions of the Future Three visions lie before us: the globalization of the New World Order, the feudalism of backlash movements; and a progressive vision based on human rights, sustainable livelihoods, and sharing of the world's resources. The emancipation of women must become central to this vision. III. What Is Culture and Why Does It Matter? Since women are held back as much by cultural traditions as by politics and economics and all profound change is related to culture, social and economic development must be integrated with cultural development IV. Cultural Domination and Censorship The global domination and marketplace censorship of US commercial culture is as great a threat to freedom of expression.as the more open appeals to censorship of backlash demagogues. V. What Do We Mean by Gender-Based Censorship? The many means of silencing women add up to a global system of censorship based on gender, operating through a variety of mechanisms to keep women in subordination. VI. Cases of Gender-Based Censorship A description of the kinds of transgressions that lead to gender-based censorship, with some examples current in 1995.

  • Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology by Tiffany Naiman 2017 © Copyright by Tiffany Naiman 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Singing at Death’s Door: Late Style, Disability, and the Temporality of Illness in Popular Music by Tiffany Naiman Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert W. Fink, Co-Chair Professor Raymond L. Knapp, Co-Chair This dissertation investigates musical expressions of temporal alterities in works created by popular music artists, identifying their aesthetic responses as their bodies become ill, disabled, and they become more aware of mortality. I propose a critical, hermeneutic, and theoretical method drawn from Edward Said’s appropriation of Adorno’s expression “late style” that I have designated ill style, a form of creativity within a temporality of illness. Late style is discernable in works produced, paradigmatically, at the end of one’s career in “old age,” but late style may also be understood as an influence on artistic output at any stage of life if the subject is experiencing untimeliness and a disruption in access to the communal understanding of futurity and time, a possible consequence of factors other than age. I contend that late style, accelerated by illness, disrupts Western cultural attempts at ignoring precarious and finite nature of existence; the resulting expressions of lateness ask audiences to do the same. I offer a way in which to think more critically about what scholars consider late style, how it functions in popular ii music studies and society, and how it intersects with the fields of disability, gender, queer, and critical race studies, and the social sciences.
