506:110, Age of European Empires Session 3, July 11-August 17, Tues/Thurs, 6:00-10:00Pm Instructor: Resnick-Day 506:110, Age of European Empires Session 3, July 11-August 17, Tues/Thurs, 6:00-10:00pm Instructor: Resnick-Day Objective of the course: This course seeks to impart a basic understanding of the processes of European colonialism from 1492 to the colonial independence movements of the mid to late 20th Century. A special focus will be brought to bear on the changing justifications given for colonization, and on the arguments made against it over the long term. We will focus on the relationship between these justifications for, and attacks against colonialism, and the power dynamics on the ground. We will also look at the motivations for empire and their methods of control, on the accommodations of subject people to empire and their struggles and revolutions against it, as well as the ways in which they sometimes tried to turn imperial presence to their own advantage. We will pay especially close attention to the conquest of Mexico and to the Haitian Revolution as case studies (and as compelling and complex stories). We Each class we will do a lecture, take a break for food and refreshment, and then either have a discussion in which you will be graded for participation, or take a test. Assignments: Four in-class tests, with identification, short answer and one five paragraph essay each. The lowest grade will be dropped, the rest will be averaged. This will count for 80 percent of your grade. The rest will be class participation and attendance. Please note that this will be an intensive class: we are trying to get a semester’s worth of material into a month, so we will be jumping in from day one, and we will be assessed every week beginning the second week.

Works Cited Berry 1 Preface: This is a study about a particular expression of Asatru otherwise known as Odinism. This is a neo-Pagan revival of ancient Norse traditions drawn primarily from the Eddas and Sagas. What is important to mention before reading this study, as I was reminded by a Pagan I met at a recent conference, is that not all people who follow this path of expression are racially motivated or oriented. This is a particularly sensitive point for many Pagans who are already a religious minority. The concern she had was that Pagans may face further discrimination if people see them as racists. The differentiation between racialist and non--racialist Odinists will be expressed in the body of the paper.

Book Reviews The Rampaging Herd: a Bibliography of Books and Pam­ phlets on Men and Events in the Cattle Industry. By Ramon F. Adams. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1959. Pp. xix, 463. $15.00. "Like all bibliographies, this one is far from complete," so the author states. Among items omitted are books on cow­ boy songs, poetry, dairying, cattle diseases, breeding "and such subjects" except that the last two categories have a few representative items. All states west of the Mississippi River have listings except Louisiana, Iowa and Minnesota -Arkansas has one. During the years of labor on this publication, the author traveled from coast to coast visiting libraries and book shops, but he does not mention any depositories in the northern Plains states, the Pacific Northwest, Nevada, Utah and New Mexico. The Arizona listings include reports of Territorial gover­ nors from 1881 to 1911 with few exceptions, but none are listed for Colorado or Montana and only one for New Mexico. n may be that those for Arizona are important in the annals of the cattle history, but surely there is comparable informa­ tion in similar reports for other territories that had a sig­ nificant part of the range cattle industry.

  • We Come in Peace (Not Really)
    We Come in Peace (not really) - Quetzalocatl, conquistadors, Francisco Pizarro, Hernando Cortes We Come in Peace (not really) Quetzalocatl, conquistadors, Francisco Pizarro, Hernando Cortes Age of Exploration Unit Imagine a giant spaceship landing in front of you. A ladder drops down to your feet and an alien climbs out. The alien looks. Its skin is bright purple and you cannot understand anything it says. It seems to be smiling though . It points to a tree. Does it want the tree? The tree isn't yours so you're not sure what to say. More aliens climb out of the ship. Why are they here? Do they want war? Do they want peace? Do they just want trees? If you give them a tree, will they then try to take over the whole planet with their technology? Do you trust any of the stories you've heard about aliens? And if so, which ones? What are you supposed to do? Before you choose, let me tell you two stories about early Americans. Two different empires in Central and South America welcomed people who would bring about the end of their civilization. They welcomed with open arms the people who destroyed them. Why would anyone do that, you ask? Like you, the native people who lived in these places had heard stories. Even though they had never seen an alien . I mean, a white man . they had still heard stories about them. They also heard of a god who would come to their shores and change the world. Quetzalcoatl is the name of a Mesoamerican god known as a serpent with feathers, who was said to show up at a very specific time on the calendar.

  • American Animals, American Men: Popular Literature from 1830 to 1915
    AMERICAN ANIMALS, AMERICAN MEN: POPULAR LITERATURE FROM 1830 TO 1915 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Stephen D. Kelly December 2020 Examining Committee Members: Miles Orvell, Advisory Chair, English James Salazar, English Talissa Ford, English Matt Wray, External Member, Sociology ii © Copyright 2020 by Stephen D. Kelly All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Critics of animal rights often deride the movement’s proponents for having a sentimental, juvenile misconception of what animals really are, an argument bolstered by the fact that few twenty-first-century Americans besides those engaged in the industries of animal exploitation have any prolonged contact with real animals other than their pets. Until the first decades of the twentieth century, however, American cities teemed with diverse animal residents and workers, and a rapidly increasing percentage of humans grew in their conviction that these animal neighbors should be extended considerations and rights. Shifting ideas about these animals’ roles within United States society were captured in a number of new bestselling literary genres centered around “realistic” depictions of animal characters. Because animals are often conceptualized as a “contrast class” to humanity—a fundamental “Other” by which humans establish what qualities make themselves distinct and (typically) superior—analyzing these texts and their circulation within nineteenth- century culture reveals how Americans understood authority and systems of governance, and in particular how they modeled an ideal American manhood nourished by animal bodies. What forms of exploitation and control were permissible in a man’s treatment of his animals often reflected other power dynamics within society, and so these texts also provide insight into issues of class, race, and gender.

  • Plumed Serpent Ancient Bearded Gods of the Americas Brien Foerster 2016 Cover Art by Marcia K
    Plumed Serpent Ancient Bearded Gods Of The Americas Brien Foerster 2016 Cover art by Marcia K. Moore Contemporary depiction of Quetzalcoatl 1/ Introduction Based on 16th-century accounts of the Spanish conquistadors being "greeted as gods" by the peoples of the New World, certain modern authors have expanded the concept beyond what is historically verifiable, spreading it to the genre of pseudo archaeological literature and fringe theorists, such as writers on ancient astronauts or Atlantis, in some instances (such as Christian Identity) even acquiring quasi-religious or racialist (white supremacist) connotations. It is claimed by some authors that white missionaries or "gods" visited America before Christopher Columbus. Authors usually quote from mythology and legends which discuss ancient gods such as the Mexican Aztec’s Quetzalcoatl to conclude that the legends were actually based on Caucasians visiting those areas, and that the Caucasians were really the gods. (1) Spanish chroniclers from the 16th century claimed that when the conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro first encountered the Inca they were greeted as gods, "Viracochas", because their lighter skin resembled their God Viracocha. This story was first reported by Pedro Cieza de León (1553) and later by Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa. Similar accounts by Spanish chroniclers (e.g. Juan de Betanzos) describe Viracocha as a "White God", often with a beard. However, whether the Inca in fact believed this, or the story was simply made up by the Spanish themselves is uncertain. (2) Writer Rupert Furneaux also linked "White gods" to the ancient city of Tiahuanaco on the altiplano of Bolivia (3), believed by most academics to be a maximum of 2000 years old, and created by the Tiwanaku culture.

  • Magical Realism As Literary Activism in the Post-Cold War US Ethnic Novel
    Momentary Magic: Magical Realism as Literary Activism in the Post-Cold War US Ethnic Novel Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University BY Anne Mai Yee Jansen M.A., M.Ed., B.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Chadwick Allen, Advisor Pranav Jani Martin Joseph Ponce Copyright by Anne Mai Yee Jansen 2013 Abstract In the aftermath of the Cold War, the social climate was largely hostile toward minority activist rhetoric. In this era, some US writers of color turned to magical realism – a genre typically associated with Latin American authors of the 1960s – to criticize social injustice through the use of magic. Magical realism interrogates historical and social conditions through supernatural, mythical, or other non-realist characters and events. In many otherwise realist novels by US writers of color, moments of magic disrupt concepts of “reality” and complicate social and political inequalities. My comparative study investigates the intersections of magic, politics, and activism in magical realist novels by African American, Asian American, Chicano/Latino, and Native American authors by organizing the chapters around four recurrent themes: history, haunting, folklore, and shifting borders. This project explores how alternative visions of empowerment and engagement open up space within which writers of color can work against oppressive forces of racism and imperialism. I begin by tracing the genealogy of the term “magical realism,” acknowledging the problems inherent in this term before turning to the genre’s foundation in postcolonial nations and its historical use as a vehicle for anti-imperialist critiques.

  • Aztec and Hawaiian Beliefs of Returning Gods: How They Influenced the First Encounter with the Europeans
    Aztec and Hawaiian Beliefs of Returning Gods: How They Influenced the First Encounter with the Europeans By Lucie Johnson 2005 Senior Seminar Dr. Kimberly Jensen Western Oregon University Reader: Dr. John Rector Dr. Max Geier Johnson, Lucie 1 Introduction Although the ancient Aztec and Hawaiian civilization were separated in history by hundreds of years and geographically by the Pacific Ocean, the two cultures possessed some similar religious beliefs. Both societies worshiped multiple deities, praised their leaders as divine, and built massive religious centers. Modern scholars embrace these cultural characteristics as symbols of the civilizations’ religious focuses. However, the two cultures also shared seemingly irrational beliefs in returning gods. The Aztecs believed that a deity would return from the east. According to the Spanish chronicle, the Aztecs thought this prophesy fulfilled with the arrival of Cortés in 1519. Thousands of miles to the west the Hawaiians had a similar vision. They believed Lono, worshiped as one of four major gods, would return during the Makahiki festival. The Hawaiians thought Captain James Cook arriving with two European ships in the 1770’s was their returning god. In both the case of Mexico and of Hawai’i, historians have developed differing views on the reality and the importance of these prophesies. As the historiography sections explain, through most of the twentieth century scholars accepted the Aztec returning god myth. However, with the emergence of postmodernism, historians began to reexamine the myth and argue it was a fabrication of the post-conquest world, used to explain why the Aztecs easily fell to the Spaniards.

Scott Carter ABSTRACT The emboldening of white supremacist groups, as well as their increased mainstream presence in online circles, necessitates the creation of studies that dissect their tactics and rhetoric, while offering platform-specific insights. This study seeks to address these needs by analyzing white supremacist content and framing devices on the video hosting website, YouTube. Data were collected through a multi-stage sampling technique, designed to capture a ‘snapshot’ of white supremacist content on the platform during a 45-day period in 2019.
