Poetry and other creative efforts should be levers, weapons to be used in the people's struggle for understanding, human rights, and decency. "Art for Art's Sake" is a misnomer. The poet can never be neutral. In a hungry world the struggle between oppressor and oppressed is unending. There is the inevitable question: "Which side are you on?" To be content with as they are, to be "neutral," is to take sides with the oppressor who also wants to keep the status quo. To challenge the power of oppression is the poet's responsibility. Such action helps to Up, up mountain toilers preserve and build fai th and hope in humanity. Nothing raises the spiri t of And hear what I tell a people more.

The chestnut oak tan bark had to be carted over the muddy Spring roads to Ellijay, twenty miles away, the nearest railroad station to Devil's Hollow.

  • Samoan Submission Machines
    Samoan Submission Machines: Grappling with Representations of Samoan Identity in Professional Wrestling Theo Plothe1 Savannah State University [email protected] Amongst the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. The discussion of Samoan identity in the context of sport has examined Maori identity and masculinity in New Zealand, among other topics, but there has yet to be work which considers Samoans within professional wrestling. This research investigates Samoan identity through a content analysis of televised wrestling matches. This research identifies six primary stereotypes under which Samoan identity is portrayed. These portrayals of Samoan characters, I argue, flatten the representation of this ethnic group within wrestling and culture at large. Keywords: Samoans, identity, representation, gimmicks Introduction Among the myriad of characters to step foot in the squared circle, perhaps no ethnic group has been as celebrated or marginalized as the Samoans who have made their names in professional wrestling. This research investigates the identity of Samoans within professional wrestling, and the different ways they are constructed and presented to audiences. “Gimmicks,” characters portrayed by a wrestler “resulting in the sum of fictional elements, attire and wrestling ability” (Oliva and Calleja 3) utilized by Samoans have run the gamut from the wild uncivilized savage, to the sumo (both in villainous Japanese and comically absurd iterations), to the ultra-cool mogul who wears silk shirts and fancy shoes. Their ability to cut promos, an important facet of the modern gimmick allowing wrestlers to address their opponents and storylines, varies widely as well, but all lie within their Samoan identity.

    Ramón Rodríguez (The New Raemon / Madee) Escoger un álbum para contar una historia es tan sacrificado como creer en el amor perdurable. Tan solo una portada ilustra este relato, pero sería injusto no reconocer que en realidad he pensado en dos referencias para escribirlo. No me siento del todo culpable, ya que Archers of Loaf vs The Greatest of All Time es un EP. Sunny Day Real Estate, Sunny Day Real Estate (Sub Pop, 1995) Un día soleado Jamás he tenido intención de contratar los servicios de una vidente, pero si en 1992 una bruja llega a decirme que en diez años estaría comiendo un croissant en el cuartel general de Sub Pop, uno de mis sellos preferidos, no habría creído una sola palabra. Eso mismo pensé mientras desayunaba con Shawn Rogers en las oficinas de Sub Pop, en Seattle. Shawn era el mánager de Crooked Fingers, el proyecto en solitario de Eric Bachmann tras la disolución Archers of Loaf, y Archers of Loaf —eran y siguen siendo— mi grupo de rock predilecto de los noventa. Shawn dejó en la mesa su taza de café. Mientras yo trataba de masticar aquel croissant que acababa de ofrecerme, lanzó una pregunta que tardé bastante en contestar. —¿Te apetece cenar con Eric y conmigo mañana? El Eric de la pregunta no era otro que Eric Bachmann, y la propuesta de Shawn era un bonito gesto a modo de mano tendida. 72 Ramón Rodríguez Crucé por primera vez el charco en 2002 con la intención de conseguir licencias para Cydonia, el sello discográfico que fundé en 2001 para publicar los discos de Madee y otros artistas nacionales e internacionales.

    A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT A CLIMATE A Philosophical Study by WATSUJI TETSURO translated by GEOFFREY BOWNAS Lecturer, Oxford University Published by PRINTINGBUREAU, JAPANESE GOVERNMENT Unesco, at the 9th session of its General Conference held in New Delhi in 1956, decided to launch the Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values. In accordance with this decision this Commission has been carrying on since 1958, within the framework of the project, a programme of publishing modern Japanese philosophical works into foreign languages. In 1959, we put out an English translation of "The Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples" by Nakamura Hajime; and in 1960 "A Study of Good" by Nishida Kitaro. The present 7101- ume, "A Climate" by Watsuji Tetsuro, is the third of the series and is to be followed in 1962 by an English version of "Time and Eternity" by Hatano Seiichi. Watsuji Tetsuro, one of the foremost scholars in the field of ethics in Japan, attempted in his present book to expound his views in concrete and easy terms on "the function of climate as a factor within the structure of human existence", which represents an aspect of his profound thought. It is our sincere wish that this programme will prove to be a contribution to the development of mutual understanding among the peoples of the world, as well as a closer cultural link between the East and West. Japanese National Commission for Unesco Unesco, at the 9th session of its General Conference held in New Delhi in 1956, decided to launch the Major Project on the Mutual Appreciation of Eastern and Western Cultural Values.
