African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999 African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries Compiled by Mette Shayne Revised Summer 1999 INTRODUCTION This union list updates African Newspapers Currently Received by American Libraries compiled by Daniel A. Britz, Working Paper no. 8 African Studies Center, Boston, 1979. The holdings of 19 collections and the Foreign Newspapers Microfilm Project were surveyed during the summer of 1999. Material collected currently by Library of Congress, Nairobi (marked DLC#) is separated from the material which Nairobi sends to Library of Congress in Washington. The decision was made to exclude North African papers. These are included in Middle Eastern lists and in many of the reporting libraries entirely separate division handles them. Criteria for inclusion of titles on this list were basically in accord with the UNESCO definition of general interest newspapers. However, a number of titles were included that do not clearly fit into this definition such as religious newspapers from Southern Africa, and labor union and political party papers. Daily and less frequently published newspapers have been included. Frequency is noted when known. Sunday editions are listed separately only if the name of the Sunday edition is completely different from the weekday edition or if libraries take only the Sunday or only the weekday edition. Microfilm titles are included when known. Some titles may be included by one library, which in other libraries are listed as serials and, therefore, not recorded. In addition to enabling researchers to locate African newspapers, this list can be used to rationalize African newspaper subscriptions of American libraries. It is hoped that this list will both help in the identification of gaps and allow for some economy where there is substantial duplication. At least two subscriptions to each significant African newspaper are necessary to obtain a complete enough file for microfilming. This edition attempts to add holdings when they have been reported. Starting dates for holdings at Northwestern, unfortunately, do not indicate complete runs (as is probably true for all library holdings). Titles earlier listed under the Foreign Newspaper Microfilm Project (FNMP) are now listed under Center for Research Libraries (CRL). These are titles that CRL films with its own funds (as opposed to what CAMP films with CAMP funds) or buys from other vendors. For each title is listed last reel received (LR). Although these titles are not considered current in the sense the newspaper subscriptions are, it seemed very useful to list these film holdings in the current list. This document is not complete and probably includes a great deal of inaccurate data. It would be appreciated if libraries which receive African newspapers, but have not contributed to this union list, would notify the Herskovits Library at Northwestern so that their holdings might be included in future editions. Notification of all errors is most welcome. Titles no longer current are being removed from this edition and added to a separate database that will thus list papers which have ceased or no longer have been received. The previous databases are being saved in the hope that a union list of all holdings of African newspapers, current and no longer received, is a step closer to realization. Many newspapers and lists of newspaper holdings are now available on the Web. In some cases the web address has been added. However, these URLs often change and may be outdated. It would be impossible to list all the sites, but one should mention the websites of Library of Congress (http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/news/fncr.html) as well as the Center for Research Libraries as important places to check for titles. The site for Foreign Newspapers at the Center for Research Libraries is: http://www.crl.edu/content.asp?l1=5&l2=23&l3=44&l4=27 and for CAMP: http://www.crl.edu/areastudies/CAMP/index.htm A preliminary list of Electronic Journals and Newspapers on Africa is available through Columbia University web site at http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/indiv/africa/ejournals.html Finally, I wish to thank all those who have cooperated through the years to make this list possible.

  • A Conversation with Dance History: Movement And
    A CONVERSATION WITH DANCE HISTORY: MOVEMENT AND MEANING IN THE CULTURAL BODY A Dissertation Submitted to The Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Seónagh Odhiambo January, 2009 © by Seónagh Odhiambo 2009 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT A Conversation with Dance History: Movement and Meaning in the Cultural Body Seónagh Odhiambo Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2009 Doctoral Advisory Committee Chair: Dr. Kariamu Welsh This study regards the problem of a binary in dance discursive practices, seen in how “world dance” is separated from European concert dance. A close look at 1930s Kenya Luo women’s dance in the context of “dance history” raises questions about which dances matter, who counts as a dancer, and how dance is defined. When discursive practices are considered in light of multicultural demographic trends and globalisation the problem points toward a crisis of reason in western discourse about how historical origins and “the body” have been theorised: within a western philosophical tradition the body and experience are negated as a basis for theorising. Therefore, historical models and theories about race and gender often relate binary thinking whereby the body is theorised as text and history is understood as a linear narrative. An alternative theoretical model is established wherein dancers’ processes of embodying historical meaning provide one of five bases through which to theorise. The central research questions this study poses and attempts to answer are: how can I illuminate a view of dance that is transhistorical and transnational? How can I write about 1930s Luo women in a way that does not create a case study to exist outside of dance history? Research methods challenge historical materialist frameworks for discussions of the body and suggest insight can be gained into how historical narratives operate with coercive power—both in past and present—by examining how meaning is conceptualised and experienced.

  • Scottsih Newspapers Have a Long Hisotry Fof Involvement With
    68th IFLA Council and General Conference August 18-24, 2002 Code Number: 051-127-E Division Number: V Professional Group: Newspapers RT Joint Meeting with: - Meeting Number: 127 Simultaneous Interpretation: - Scottish Newspapers and Scottish National Identity in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries I.G.C. Hutchison University of Stirling Stirling, UK Abstract: Scotland is distinctive within the United Kingdom newspaper industry both because more people read papers and also because Scots overwhelmingly prefer to read home-produced organs. The London ‘national’ press titles have never managed to penetrate and dominate in Scotland to the preponderant extent that they have achieved in provincial England and Wales. This is true both of the market for daily and for Sunday papers. There is also a flourishing Scottish local weekly sector, with proportionately more titles than in England and a very healthy circulation total. Some of the reasons for this difference may be ascribed to the higher levels of education obtaining in Scotland. But the more influential factor is that Scotland has retained distinctive institutions, despite being part of Great Britain for almost exactly three hundred years. The state church, the education system and the law have not been assimilated to any significant amount with their counterparts south of the border. In the nineteenth century in particular, religious disputes in Scotland generated a huge amount of interest. Sport in Scotlaand, too, is emphatically not the same as in England, whether in terms of organisation or in relative popularity. Additionally, the menu of major political issues in Scotland often has been and is quite divergent from England – for instance, the land question and self-government.
