  • Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF THE SNAKE: A LIFE HISTORY OF COBRA MANSA “COBRINHA” MESTRE OF CAPOEIRA Isabel Angulo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, School of Music, University of Maryland Professor John Caughey American Studies Department, University of Maryland This dissertation is a cultural biography of Mestre Cobra Mansa, a mestre of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira angola. The intention of this work is to track Mestre Cobrinha’s life history and accomplishments from his beginning as an impoverished child in Rio to becoming a mestre of the tradition—its movements, music, history, ritual and philosophy. A highly skilled performer and researcher, he has become a cultural ambassador of the tradition in Brazil and abroad. Following the Trail of the Snake is an interdisciplinary work that integrates the research methods of ethnomusicology (oral history, interview, participant observation, musical and performance analysis and transcription) with a revised life history methodology to uncover the multiple cultures that inform the life of a mestre of capoeira. A reflexive auto-ethnography of the author opens a dialog between the experiences and developmental steps of both research partners’ lives. Written in the intersection of ethnomusicology, studies of capoeira, social studies and music education, the academic dissertation format is performed as a roda of capoeira aiming to be respectful of the original context of performance. The result is a provocative ethnographic narrative that includes visual texts from the performative aspects of the tradition (music and movement), aural transcriptions of Mestre Cobra Mansa’s storytelling and a myriad of writing techniques to accompany the reader in a multi-dimensional journey of multicultural understanding.

The first section of the paper outlines the three different stages of Portuguese-Japanese language contact. The second section will discuss the etymology of one of the loanwords which presumably entered Portuguese lexicon from Japanese in the first stage of Portuguese- Japanese language contact, namely, bonzo, which has traditionally provoked some controversy as to its etymon. As we will see in the discussion of the third stage of Portuguese-Japanese language contact, it is rather straightforward to settle the problem of etymon in recent borrowing. However, attention must be paid to diachronic studies of Sixteenth Century Japanese, in the first stage of Portuguese-Japanese language contact, in order to solve the problem of the etymology of Japanese loanwords. 1. Historically, there are three stages of Portuguese-Japanese language contact. The first stage occurred in Sixteenth Century Japan.

  • Sketches and Adventures in Madeira, Portugal, and the Andalusias of Spain
    SKETCHES AND ADVENTURES THE ANDALUSIAS OF SPAIN. BY THE AUTHOR OP DANIEL WEBSTER AND HIS COTEMPORARIES.' NEW YORK: HARPER & BROTHERS, 82 <fc 331 PEARL STREET. 1856. Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1S56, by HARPER <fc BROTHERS, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. Annex DP H-l PREFACE. PASSING the summer months in a village in New Hamp- shirea village, let me say parenthetically, which, from its nice houses, well-cultivated farms, and pleasant scenery, re- minds me more of Old England than any other country town I have seen in New England and being necessarily thrown for occupation mostly upon my own resources, I concluded to write out some recollections of a short residence in Madeira and the European Peninsula a part of the world which has been comparatively but little visited by the American or gen- eral tourist. The want of regular communication between the United States and those countries is doubtless the reason of their being so little known to our countrymen. The few who have visited them always speak with grateful acknowl- edgment of the pleasure they derived from the tour or sojourn. Two of our most eminent citizens General Dix and Mr. John Van Buren passed a winter in Madeira, receiving and conferring great gratification in their visit. The former has written the best book the island ever forth with- upon put ; out and full of details in a pretension, yet interesting ; chaste, concise and has created a desire lucid, and style ; among those whose means and education qualify them for travel to participate in enjoyments he so keenly relished.

  • English-Based Pidgins and Creoles: from Social to Cognitive Hypotheses of Acquisition
    VICENTE, Veruska Salvador. English-based pidgins and creoles: from social to cognitive hypotheses of acquisition. Revista Virtual de Estudos da Linguagem – ReVEL . Vol. 5, n. 9, agosto de 2007. ISSN 1678- 8931 [www.revel.inf.br]. ENGLISH -BASED PIDGINS AND CREOLES : FROM SOCIAL TO COGNITIVE HYPOTHESES OF ACQUISITION Veruska Salvador Vicente 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT : This paper will join readings holding that external social factors have huge influence in language development and that there is some innate capability common to all human beings related to language acquisition and development. A particular case which shows the relationship between these two aspects is the study of pidgins and creoles. This subject is part of Language Contact studies, which is one of the branches of the Sociolinguistics field, and provides a bridge between studies in Anthropology and Psychology. KEYWORDS : sociolinguistics; contact language; pidgins and creoles; language acquisition. INTRODUCTION A pidgin is an emergency language, created to facilitate communication between groups of different languages and cultures when they get in contact and establish some relationship. It is commonly related to situations of trade and/or colonization. When children are born within a pidgin-speaker community and have this language as a mother tongue, then we have a creole language conception. Studies on pidgin and creole languages date from before the nineteenth century; however, as an academic discipline it was not established until the 1950s and early 1960s. The late establishment of pidgins and creoles as a legitimate field of study is due to the fact that many linguists used to consider it as an auxiliary language, used only in situations of emergency (Holm, 1988: 3) and they did not take this subject seriously.

The instructional goal of the website is to offer practice tools that learners, ranging from adolescents to adults, from beginning to advanced proficiency levels, can use as self-study or in conjunction with courses in Portuguese to improve mastery of the major skills: reading, listening, writing, and speaking. In fact, the website broadly defines its audience as "all those who seek to learn, teach or translate Portuguese, to get to know the Portuguese language and culture or to improve their Portuguese skills through a distance/e-learning training programme" (Centro Virtual Camões, 2008, para. 2). The Instituto Camões does offer online courses, but the use of Aprender Português is not dependent on them.

    Proceedings of the 10th Annual Gilder Lehrman Center International Conference at Yale University Slavery and the Slave Trades in the Indian Ocean and Arab Worlds: Global Connections and Disconnections November 7‐8, 2008 Yale University New Haven, Connecticut Straight, No Chaser: Slavery, Abolition, and the Modern Muslim Mind Bernard K. Freamon∗, Seton Hall Law School Available online at http://www.yale.edu/glc/indian‐ocean/freamon.pdf © Do not cite or circulate without the author’s permission Introduction It might strike the reader as odd and perhaps somewhat irreverent that I should use an allusion to the drinking of alcohol in the title of a paper concerned with the modern Muslim mind.1 That is not my intention, for the title is actually drawn from the world of jazz. When the allusion is viewed in that sense, it has direct relevance to my topic. My title is borrowed from the famous jazz piece written and often performed by Thelonious Monk, the iconic jazz composer and pianist who brought great influence to the music, beginning in the early 1940’s and continuing until his death in 1982. Monk’s piece, simply entitled “Straight, No Chaser,” and ∗ Professor of Law and Director, Program for the Study of Law in the Middle East, Seton Hall Law School. I extend my deepest thanks to Rebecca Fink for providing excellent research assistance. Thanks also to Abed Awad and H. Kwasi Prempeh for their insightful suggestions and comments. 1 The drinking of alcohol for pleasure is forbidden to Muslims. For the uninitiated, “Straight, No Chaser” describes a fairly widely heard request of the typical alcohol‐drinking tavern customer who, in ordering a drink, tells the bartender that he desires a glass of gin or vodka or whiskey undiluted by a non‐alcoholic mixer (‘straight’) and without the customary glass of beer or water or soda that follows the downing of the straight alcohol, allegedly softening its impact (no ‘chaser’).
