The conference is a cross-disciplinary forum that brings together researchers, teachers, and practitioners to discuss the dynamics of globalization in today’s world. The conference is held annually in different locations around the world, each selected for its particular place in the context of globalization. The 2014 Global Studies Conference follows a string of successful meetings over the past few years, with the most recent focusing on the BRIC economies. Past conferences have been held in New Delhi in 2013, Moscow in 2012, Rio De Janeiro in 2011, Busan in 2010, Dubai in 2009, and the inaugural conference held in Chicago in 2008. This year we finish our tour of the BRIC economies, in Shanghai, China, where we are excited to partner with Shanghai University and its Center for Global Studies in developing an exciting and intellectually stimulating conference program. As the center of one of the emerging BRIC economies, Shanghai is a relevant and ideal location to discuss China’s role in globalization. Next year, the conference will be held in London, UK, 20-21 July 2015, at Imperial College London with the special focus Power and Participation in the Age of Globalized Information Webs and Big Data. Within the Global Studies Community, the conversations and presentations of our conference then flow directly into our peer-reviewed Global Studies Journal. The Journal draws submissions from all over the world to create a kaleidoscopic view of globalization. Our aim is to create new forms of knowledge community, where people meet in person and also remain connected virtually, making the most of the potentials for access using the digital media. We are also committed to creating a more accessible, open and reliable peer review process. Intellectually, the Conference and the Journal examine three interconnected areas. The first is “the current,” mapping the details and extrapolating to big picture analyses in order to interpret current trends and challenges about the “New Globalization.” The second area is to compare and contrast this “New Globalization” to earlier examples of the phenomenon; to find the repeating trends and what is genuinely new. The third area is a re-evaluation and re-examination of the very concept of globalization in theoretical, anthropological, and philosophical terms. This is the longer story of the Global Studies Conference. The shorter story is the phenomenal amount of careful planning and thinking on the part of Prof. Jan Nederveen Pieterse of the University of California, Santa Barbara, as well as our generous and accommodating host, Prof. Changgang Guo, Director of the Center for Global Studies at Shanghai University, who I would like to thank him for his countless hours of effort, guidance, and input. I also want to thank our Common Ground colleagues who have put so much work into this Conference: Rachael Arcario, Jessica Wienhold-Brokish, and Phillip Kalantzis-Cope. We wish you all the best for this conference and hope it will provide you every opportunity for dialogue with colleagues from around the corner and around the world. Yours Sincerely, Bill Cope Director, Common Ground Publishing Professor, Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA 2 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA BARBARA BERKELEY • DAVIS • IRVINE • LOS ANGELES • MERCED • RIVERSIDE • SAN DIEGO • SAN FRANCISCO SANTA BARBARA • SANTA CRUZ Jan Nederveen Pieterse Mellichamp Professor, Global Studies and Sociology Santa Barbara, California 93106-7065 T: (805) 893-7899 E: [email protected] www.jannederveenpieterse.com Dear conference participants, A cordial welcome to the Seventh Global Studies conference which is held in cooperation with Shanghai University and its Center of Global Studies. The first Global Studies conference took place at the University of Illinois Chicago in 2008; the 2009 conference was held in Dubai on the theme Views from Dubai: The Gulf and Globalization. The 2010 conference was in Busan, South Korea under the heading Global Rebalancing: East Asia and Globalization; the 2011 conference took place in Rio de Janeiro on Emerging societies and Emancipation; the 2012 conference was at Moscow University on the theme of Eurasia and Globalization: Complexity and Global studies; and the 2013 conference took place in New Delhi on the theme of Social Development in South Asia. Brazil, Russia, India and China, the venues of the most recent conferences, add up to BRIC, which is probably a coincidence. The rise of emerging societies, the resurgence of Asia, and the momentum of the BRIC are major trends that are shaping twenty-first century globalization. The Global Studies conferences serve as a way of observing up close what this momentum entails. The premise of Global Studies conferences is to decenter globalization and to get a sense of what globalization means in different parts of the world, especially emerging economies, as much as possible through the eyes of local and regional thinkers and policy makers. We are delighted to present a particularly strong plenary program with speakers from the region, reflecting on experiences and analyses of globalization as well as forward looking globalization agendas and projects. I would like to express my cordial thanks to the co-organizer Professor Changgang Guo and his colleagues, to all our distinguished plenary speakers and participants, and, as always, to the conference producers of Common Ground Publishing who make this conference possible, in particular Dr. Bill Cope and Rachael Arcario and their team. Wishing you all a fruitful meeting, cordially, Jan Nederveen Pieterse 3 ABOUT COMMON GROUND Our Mission Common Ground Publishing aims to enable all people to participate

  • Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala
    THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA by Jillian L. Kite A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of The Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL August 2014 Copyright by Jillian L. Kite 2014 ii iii ABSTRACT Author: Jillian L. Kite Title: The Eye of the Beholder: Ladino and Indigenous Pageantry in Neocolonial Guatemala Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Co-Advisors: Dr. Josephine Beoku-Betts and Dr. Mark Harvey Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2014 In this thesis I utilize a feminist case study method to explore gender, race, authenticity, and nationalism in the context of globalization. Each year, Guatemala conducts two ethno-racially distinct pageants – one indigenous, the other ladina. The indigenous pageant prides itself on the authentic display of indigenous culture and physiognomies. On the contrary, during the westernized ladina pageant, contestants strive to adhere to western beauty ideals beauty and cultural norms engendered by discourses of whiteness. However, when the winner advances to the Miss World Pageant, they misappropriate elements of Mayan culture to express an authentic national identity in a way that is digestible to an international audience. In the study that follows, I examine the ways in which national and international pageants are reflective of their iv respective levels of social and political conflict and how they serve as mechanisms of manipulation by the elite at the national and global levels. v THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: LADINO AND INDIGENOUS PAGEANTRY IN NEOCOLONIAL GUATEMALA I.

Come with me. A generation ago, the astronomer Carl Sagan stood here and launched hundreds of millions of us on a great adventure: the exploration of the universe revealed by science. It's time to get going again. We're about to begin a journey that will take us from the infinitesimal to the infinite, from the dawn of time to the distant future. We'll explore galaxies and suns and worlds, surf the gravity waves of space-time, encounter beings that live in fire and ice, explore the planets of stars that never die, discover atoms as massive as suns and universes smaller than atoms. Cosmos is also a story about us. It's the saga of how wandering bands of hunters and gatherers found their way to the stars, one adventure with many heroes.

Habsari, PUTERI MUSLIMAH INDONESIA… | 119 ` KAFA’AH JOURNAL, 10 (2), 2020 (Print ISSN 2356-0894 Online ISSN 2356-0630) Available online at http://kafaah.org/index.php/kafaah/index PUTERI MUSLIMAH INDONESIA: NEW FORMS OF OBJECTIFICATION OF WOMEN BODIES IN BEAUTY PAGEANT Fatkhu Rohmatin Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected], Sri Kusumo Habsari Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Article history: Submitted: 21-06-2019 | Review: 24-10-2020 | Revised: 03-11-2020 | Accepted: 16-11-2020 Abstract This paper discusses the new objectification of women bodies in the beauty pageant Puteri Muslimah Indonesia. It proposes to explore that the pageant “Puteri Muslimah Indonesia” continues to serve the consumptive culture raised by capitalism, despite its dedication and concern to promote Islamic values. This paper wants to argue the ambivalence of this pageant which in some way still glorifies the idea that women bodies as the object of gaze through the presentation of the beautiful display of the contestants with bold makeup, high heels, ideal body, glamorous gowns and ornamented hijab, despite the requirements to have some qualities of Islamic values and elements to be able to join the competition. Keywords: Puteri Muslimah Indonesia; Objectification; Women Bodies; Beauty Pageant INTRODUCTION The popularity of beauty pageants and the glorification of the winners attract many young women to participate in the competition. Many young women who join the contest are rarely aware of the history of beauty pageants that it was initially designed to function as a reminder that women’s bodies are restricted by the measuring tape and the judge’s approval of their physicality.

  • Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia
    PROTEST AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Chiavacci, (eds) Grano & Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia East Democratic in State the and Society Civil Edited by David Chiavacci, Simona Grano, and Julia Obinger Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Between Entanglement and Contention in Post High Growth Civil Society and the State in Democratic East Asia Protest and Social Movements Recent years have seen an explosion of protest movements around the world, and academic theories are racing to catch up with them. This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

    ANNUAL REPORT SEP 2019 - OCT 2020 INDEX INTRODUCTION INDEX OF EVENTS COMPLETED EVENTS DETAIL COMPLETED LIVE STREAM DETAIL COVID AFFECTED EVENTS DETAIL INDEX OF UPCOMING EVENTS NON PROFIT CULTURAL PARTNERS MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT MARKETING REPORT COVID HANDBOOK To City Manager Jimmy Morales, The 19/20 season can be viewed as two distinct segments. The first six months represent major improvements and growth, followed by the sudden public closure and responses to the Covid health crisis. The year began with the renewal of the Rhythm Foundation’s management agreement. Experience and momentum gathered during the first management term were brought to bear and a season of widely diverse cultural offerings was undertaken. Long awaited capital improvements of the canopy covering and new seating system were completed in February. The season was in the middle of the busiest period in mid March when we closed the facility to the public in mid March due to the Covid health crisis. We immediately modified and adapted our operations using live streaming technologies to complete the Rhythm Foundations’s 32nd season. Emergency funding and support from the City, County and Federal government have been critical to sustaining the organization through this prolonged health crisis. We proactively engaged with community partners to identify funding, tech support and best practices for safe operations. Since going virtual in mid-March, we’ve broadcast sixteen (16) full length concerts as live streams to a collective audience of over 100,000 viewers from all over the world. The 20/21 season ahead is anchored by partnerships with the leading cultural presenting organizations in the South Florida, furthering our goal of establishing the North Beach Bandshell as a major performing arts facility in our region.
