    Documento distribuído por Álbum de mulleres Liña do tempo http://culturagalega.org/album/linhadotempo.php 11ª versión (13/02/2017) Comisión de Igualdade Pazo de Raxoi, 2º andar. 15705 Santiago de Compostela (Galicia) Tfno.: 981957202 / Fax: 981957205 / [email protected] GALICIA MEDIEVO - No mundo medieval, as posibilidades que se ofrecen ás mulleres de escoller o marco en que han de desenvolver o seu proxecto de vida persoal son fundamentalmente tres: matrimonio, convento ou marxinalidade. - O matrimonio é a base das relacións de parentesco e a clave das relacións sociais. Os ritos do matrimonio son instituídos para asegurar un sistema ordenado de repartimento de mulleres entre os homes e para socializar a procreación. Designando quen son os pais engádese outra filiación á única e evidente filiación materna. Distinguindo as unións lícitas das demais, as crianzas nacidas delas obteñen o estatuto de herdeiras. - Século IV: Exeria percorre Occidente, á par de recoller datos e escribir libros de viaxes. - Ata o século X danse casos de comunidades monásticas mixtas rexidas por abade ou abadesa. - Entre os séculos IX e X destacan as actividades de catro mulleres da nobreza galega (Ilduara Eriz, Paterna, Guntroda e Aragonta), que fan delas as principais e máis cualificadas aristócratas galegas destes séculos. - Entre os séculos IX e XII chégase á alianza matrimonial en igualdade de condicións, posto que o sistema de herdanza non distingue entre homes e mulleres; o matrimonio funciona máis como instrumento asociativo capaz de crear relacións amplas entre grupos familiares coexistentes que como medio que permite relacións de control ou protección de carácter vertical. - Século X: Desde mediados de século, as mulleres non poden testificar nos xuízos e nos documentos déixase de facer referencia a elas.

As a follow-up to the previous Sunday’s fundraiser documentary about the Black Panther Party in the US, the Centre organised a panel discussion focussing on Women in the Polynesian Panthers and their Legacy. It was facilitated by Papatuanuku Nahi who welcomed the jam packed, mostly women, audience with a karanga that set the mood for the evening. The speakers’ panel was made up of Panther members, Miriama Rauhihi Ness and Dr Melani Anae, or (like our facilitator, Papatuanuku Nahi and her sister, Kaile Nahi- Taihia) women who traced their current activism directly to being raised by Panther parents. Sina Brown-Davis, Te Wharepora Hou member, and our speaker prior to the documentary screening, was also a panel member.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
