  • Racialization and Belonging in Germany a Dissertation
    Seeing the National Body: Racialization and Belonging in Germany A Dissertation SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Ashley M. Olstad IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Arlene A. Teraoka May 2016 © Ashley M. Olstad 2016 Acknowledgements My studies, research, and dissertation writing have been supported by several institutions, for which I must express my most sincere appreciation: the University of Minnesota, primarily for the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and Graduate Research Partnership Program; the Department of German, Scandinavian & Dutch, particularly for the Hella Lindemeyer Mears Fellowship, Gerhardt Weiss Fellowship, and Elizabeth Folsom Rathert Graduate Fellowship; the Center for German and European Studies; the Center for Jewish Studies; DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service); and the German-American Fulbright Commission for a Fulbright Grant in Anthropology. I am also grateful to the Humboldt University and Institute for European Ethnology for hosting me during my Fulbright year in Berlin. At the individual level, my thanks go first to my advisor, Arlene Teraoka, for providing guidance and support throughout my graduate studies and “tough love” at the end. I could not imagine having gone forward with my research project without her invaluable input. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Arlene for having mentored me as a teacher; I learned from the best. Thanks too to the late Daphne Berdahl, my initial co-advisor, whose scholarship has continued to inform my thinking. Even though she was not here to see me through to the fieldwork and writing stage, I greatly benefitted from her help in formulating my initial questions.

  • 16/09/2013 – Nova Miss EUA É Vítima De Comentários Racistas E Xenófobos
    16/09/2013 – Nova miss EUA é vítima de comentários racistas e xenófobos (Opera Mundi) Internautas atacaram origem indiana da vencedora; outros não sabiam diferenciar entre árabe, muçulmano ou indiano. Segundos depois de ser declarada vencedora do concurso Miss Estados Unidos e receber a coroa reservada às vencedoras da competição, a norte-americana Nina Davuluri começou a ser alvo de uma avalanche de comentários racistas na internet, em especial no microblog Twitter, principalmente em razão de sua etnia. Nina, de 24 anos, eleita na noite de sábado (14/09) em Atlantic City (estado de Nova Jersey), nasceu na cidade de Fayetteville (Nova York). Primeira norte-americana de origem indiana a ganhar o prêmio, ela não comentou os ataques que recebeu. Filha de um médico, contou em sua rede social que teve de combater a bulimia quando era mais jovem e que sua aspiração é estudar medicina no futuro. Um dos comentários mais repercutidos no microblog foi do jornalista Todd Starnes, da rede de TV conservadora Fox News. Ele afirmou que “não reconhece o julgamento liberal do [concurso] Miss America, mas a Miss Kansas perdeu porque representa realmente os valores americanos”. Starnes se refere a Theresa Vail, uma das candidatas derrotadas, branca e loira, que se apresentou em trajes militares e disse, durante entrevistas, que gosta de realizar ensaios com temáticas de caça. Muitos explicitaram seu preconceito através da xenofobia – aparentemente, para estes internautas, a vencedora do concurso deveria ser de origem “genuinamente local”. “Miss America é indiana… com todo respeito, aqui é América!”, disse a internauta identificada como @Savannah_Dale97. “Juro que não sou racista mas aqui é America”, diz @JAyres15 (Jessica Ayres).

Acknowledgements Thank you, Barry Brummett, for being rigorous, caring, and never pushy. Everyone should be lucky enough to have an advisor who returns drafts within hours, visits with soup, and puns relentlessly. Everyone should, but few will. Dana Cloud, I see you. You are an incredible ally to students and women. Dawna Ballard, you show everyone how trailblazing scholarship and kindness come together in the best of ways. Josh Gunn, you are a generous scholar and person and I hope I will always know you. Bob Jensen and Snehal Shingavi, you stuck with me and gave me straight talk when I needed it. I could not have asked for a better committee. I am grateful for my Bahrainwala and Kagalwalla parents, siblings and grandparents. They may still think I’m getting a Master’s degree in literature, but their support is unflinching. Many people don’t have a family, and I have two wonderful and strange ones to call my own.
