MAHANI TEAVE Concert Pianist Educator Environmental Activist
MAHANI TEAVE concert pianist educator environmental activist ABOUT MAHANI Award-winning pianist and humanitarian Mahani Teave is a pioneering artist who bridges the creative world with education and environmental activism. The only professional classical musician on her native Easter Island, she is an important cultural ambassador to this legendary, cloistered area of Chile. Her debut album, Rapa Nui Odyssey, launched as number one on the Classical Billboard charts and received raves from critics, including BBC Music Magazine, which noted her “natural pianism” and “magnificent artistry.” Believing in the profound, healing power of music, she has performed globally, from the stages of the world’s foremost concert halls on six continents, to hospitals, schools, jails, and low-income areas. Twice distinguished as one of the 100 Women Leaders of Chile, she has performed for its five past presidents and in its Embassy, along with those in Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, China, Japan, Ecuador, Korea, Mexico, and symbolic places including Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, Chile’s Palacio de La Moneda, and Chilean Congress. Her passion for classical music, her local culture, and her Island’s environment, along with an intense commitment to high-quality music education for children, inspired Mahani to set aside her burgeoning career at the age of 30 and return to her Island to found the non-profit organization Toki Rapa Nui with Enrique Icka, creating the first School of Music and the Arts of Easter Island. A self-sustaining ecological wonder, the school offers both classical and traditional Polynesian lessons in various instruments to over 100 children. Toki Rapa Nui offers not only musical, but cultural, social and ecological support for its students and the area. -

Viajeros Por América Central: Geografías, Sujetos Y
VIAJEROS POR AMÉRICA CENTRAL: GEOGRAFÍAS, SUJETOS Y CONTRADISCURSOS A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Jesús Manuel Gómez Fernández, Lic. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Maureen Ahern Dr. Lúcia Costigan Aproved by Dr. Fernando Unzueta ______________________________ Dr. Claudio González Adviser Department of Spanish and Portuguese ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the narratives of the journeys of and about four explorers who traveled across the Central American isthmus, from the 16th to early 18th centuries, when Spain ruled over these territories. It studies the travel narratives of Vasco Núñez de Balboa, Juan Vásquez de Coronado, William Dampier and John Cockburn and, at the same time, it offers new perspectives on the recuperation of Central American cultural memory and heritage as it revisits and analyzes the early colonial isthmus in terms of its geographical and human landscapes. This dissertation proposes that through these “Relaciones de Viaje” the representation of the Central American Isthmus is transformed from a mythical landscape into a material one as they scrutinize the exploitable riches of the land and subject its peoples to new excluding set of rules. Rivaling the Spanish enterprise, the British search for their own truths in the Spanish territories that materialize new landscapes to non Spanish Europeans, so as to represent a counter imperialistic discourse. The isthmus thus becomes a discursive and physical battleground where the two powers clash producing new subjectivities that evolve on the margins of the Spanish project and under the protection of British Empire, as in the case of the Moskitia.
