This study compares methods of providing access to diverse points of view as represented by journals indexed in Alternative Press Index (API). To determine University at Albany patron access to nonmainstream periodicals, local print subscriptions, expedited interlibrary loan through resource-sharing consortia, and electronic full-text packages were compared to periodicals listed in API. Electronic full-text packages provide some added access to nonmainstream journals. However, much greater access was found to be provided by participation in resource-sharing networks.

Full textAbstract:
Power to the People: Counterculture, Social Movements, and the Alternative Press, Nineteenth to Twenty-First Century is a Gale database (released in 2023) that documents four distinct primary source collections and three alterative press publications, encompassing ∼600,000 pages of material. It is an aptly named database, covering how counterculture activists/organizations and alternative presses shaped the formation of various social movements in the modern United States and United Kingdom. A broad range of ideas and initiatives can be found within the database, spanning topics such as gender equality, civil rights, antiwar efforts, labor movements, and environmental justice. It is also important to note that the primary source contributors represent diverse voices, from artists to satirists to grassroots organizers. Highlighting those voices may be aligned with broader decolonizing collections efforts underway at some institutions.The four highlighted collections and three alternative press titles include: <list list-type="simple"> <list-item> The Pacific Coast Counterculture Collection (Robert P.J. Cooney, Jr.)</list-item> <list-item> Special Collections on Peace, Politics, and Social Change, Commonweal Library, University of Bradford</list-item> <list-item> Left-wing politics and radical political movement pamphlets, Ron Heisler Collection housed, University of London</list-item> <list-item> The Liberal Students of the 1960s Collection, University of Michigan</list-item> <list-item> Fortean Times (1976‐2020)</list-item> <list-item> Bizarre (1997‐2015)</list-item> <list-item> Viz (1979‐2020)</list-item> </list>The above grants community members, students, and faculty access to primary source materials that are contextually related yet geographically isolated from each other. Given Gale’s relatively large primary source suite of databases, this product complements the overall efforts Gale has made in curating distinct databases that cover relatively focused topics. Being able to cross-search across Gale’s primary source collections through a unified platform adds value to this product, depending on preexisting Gale primary source holdings.

Published as two of geography's first open-access, online collections, Radical Theory/Critical Praxis (edited by Rob Kitchin and Duncan Fuller) and Critical Geographies: A Collection of Readings (edited by Harald Bauder and Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro) mark what is hopefully the beginning of more expansive challenge to the current political economy of academic publication. The editors note the immediate difficulties of such an experiment: copyright limitations of previously published work; desires to capitalize on the value of such collections; RAE and tenure pressures; and the “currency” of a new, alternative press.

"Chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of alternative feed resources for ruminants in Mediterranean climates: olive cake and cactus cladodes." Journal of Agricultural Science 157, no. 03 (April 2019): 260–71. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021859619000558.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractOlive cake (OC) and cactus cladodes (CCs) are two alternative feed resources widely available in Mediterranean areas. Their use in ruminant diets was assessed according to their chemical composition, secondary compound levels and digestibility. The effects of the olive oil extraction period and process, and CCs age and sampling period were evaluated. OC was collected monthly, from November to January, from mills using either a mechanical press or 2-phase or 3-phase centrifugation processes. CCs were collected fortnightly according to age (young and mature) from April to June. Two-phase OC had the lowest content of dry matter (DM), the highest nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and total and hydrolysable tannins and was more rapidly fermentable. Mechanical press OC was the least digestible. OC DM, protein and NFE were affected linearly by the extraction period. Gas production (GP), in vitro digestibility parameters and dry and organic enzymatic digestibility changed with the extraction period. Therefore, OC chemical composition and in vitro digestibility depended mainly on the extraction process and period. Compared to mature CCs , young CCs contained more water, protein, ether-extract and phenolic compounds, but less ash and fibre. GP and digestibility parameters were not affected by age, but in vitro organic matter digestibility and microbial biomass production were higher in young cladodes. CCs chemical composition, GP and digestibility parameters were influenced by the collection period. Due to its limited nutritional quality, OC should be enriched in nitrogen, while CCs could be considered as highly valuable forage in ruminant diet.

This article explores the creation of a national index of sexist violence in Argentina in 2016 as an example of data activism in the Global South. Drawing upon a qualitative content analysis of press coverage and activist posts on social media, as well as interviews with activists, it describes the context of the #NiUnaMenos feminist mobilization and the collection “from below” of data on gender violence. This study illustrates how activists in the Global South can appropriate technology and promote new uses that not only respond to their local and immediate needs but also contribute to the production of alternative imaginaries on big data in the longer term. Moreover, the article positions women’s movements as an essential component of current social movements in Latin America.

This study uses the list of periodicals indexed by Alternative Press Index to examine the holdings rates of alternative press titles in U.S. ARL libraries. Holdings rates are examined by library, by title, and by subject category. Alternative press titles are not widely held in U.S. ARL libraries. Titles falling into categories such as leftist/Marxist politics, gay/lesbian, and labor are particularly underrepresented in library holdings, as are titles that are newsletters or magazines. The impact of these low holdings rates on scholars, students, and archival library collections is discussed.

Ather Farouqi’s edited book Muslims and Media Images: News VersusViews examines the Hindi and Urdu press as well as Hindi and regional languagefilms. The uniqueness of the collection lies in the grounded approachtaken to study the topic of media images of Indian Muslims. Along with anintroduction and two appendices, this volume consists of nineteen mainlyshort chapters organized in four sections that highlight the experiences ofmedia practitioners, who provide their own accounts and testimonies. Consistingof journalists, newspaper editors, filmmakers, and academics ‒ thecontributors to this volume are writing from the field, while incorporatinghistorical components in a tone embedded in a storytelling style. Althoughcertain generalizations and scattered links between chapters might distractreaders, such grounded conversations are valuable to academics interestedin generating theory from the practice of making media. Most authors providedvivid examples here from their own involvement in the process ofwriting or editing news, while relying on a minimal use of citations, whichpresents an interesting alternative format to standard academic studies.This book offers relevant reading to scholars of Islamic studies, communication,journalism, cinema, political science, and readers interested inIndian media and Muslim representations ...

There is a growing interest in alternative forms of pedagogy for students in K–12 settings. Free improvisation, a relatively new and unfamiliar genre, offers potential as an ensemble for teachers to provide in order to offer more egalitarian and creative music experiences for their students. The purpose of this multiple case study was to determine common elements of instruction among four university free-improvisation instructors in order to inform K–12 music education. Pauline Oliveros, Fred Frith, Ed Sarath, and David Ballou were interviewed and observed in order to find common elements among their teaching. Data collection included transcripts from interviews and field notes, recordings, course materials, and other documents, such as course syllabi, university catalogues, texts, and press material about the pedagogues. The common themes that emerged among the four pedagogues included an array of unique teaching exercises, facility with nontraditional vocabulary, the establishment of a safe and egalitarian teaching space, lack of evaluation, leader as guide, comfort with spontaneity, and pedagogue as performer/improviser. The conclusion offers ideas for implementing these ideas in K–12 and music teacher education.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe history of judgment and decision making is defined by a trend toward increasingly nuanced explanations of the decision making process. Recently, process models have become incredibly sophisticated, yet the tools available to directly test these models have not kept pace. These increasingly complex process models require increasingly complex process data by which they can be adequately tested. We propose a new class of data collection that will facilitate evaluation of sophisticated process models. Tracking mouse paths during a continuous response provides an implicit measure of the growth of preference that produces a choice—rather than the current practice of recording just the button press that indicates that choice itself. Recent research in cognitive science (Spivey & Dale, 2006) has shown that cognitive processing can be revealed in these dynamic motor responses. Unlike current process methodologies, these response dynamics studies can demonstrate continuous competition between choice options and even online preference reversals. Here, in order to demonstrate the mechanics and utility of the methodology, we present an example response dynamics experiment utilizing a common multi-alternative decision task.

PurposeWhilst criticisms of current research methodology and method when assessing the performance of a building can be suggested, no practical or achievable alternatives have been found. It suggests that existing approaches fail to consider the often‐irrational perceptions of humans who inhabit the buildings. This paper proposes a change in both methodology and method when assessing building performance.Design/methodology/approachThe method developed for this research project involved a four‐stage process which was designed to achieve consistency with the methodology. Fundamental to the methodological approach taken and developed in this research is the concept of beta press. The variables used for analysis must be those chosen by participants in the building and not the alpha press variables of non‐participant observers. The method chosen for collection of the participant variables was focus group meetings incorporating a modified Delphi selection exercise. A survey sought information on the occupier's personal working space.FindingsThere are a number of variables that are performing well in terms of matching occupiers' rating of importance and their satisfaction with the subject building. There are also a number of variables where perceived performance exceeds importance. Only where there is a significant difference in the distribution is there an issue to be identified.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research could be to develop this methodological approach to investigate the possibility of correlating the results with investment performance of buildings. This may seek to establish relationships between yields, rent levels and occupancy rates with the perception mapping of the occupants. In the short‐term research of this nature may be used by organisations to better understand the behaviour of their workforce in the work environment. It can isolate issues or clusters of issues that can be addressed and immediate results can be considered.Originality/valueThis research has provided a justification and rationale for an alternative methodological approach to the evaluation of building performance. Previous research in this field has been largely positivist and has not considered a behavioural dimension.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur l’impact du dessin de presse dans le combat des Noirs pour l’obtention de leurs droits, aux États-Unis et en France à des moments-clés entre 1861 et 1965, et ce dans une perspective d’histoire croisée. Suite à leur reddition lors de la guerre de Sécession aux Etats-Unis, les Sudistes dotèrent leur idéologie raciste d’une nouvelle arme de diffusion : le dessin de presse – atout majeur dans la victoire de l’Union. Au XX siècle, les Africains-Américains réagirent à la propagande sudiste : ème la guerre des images éclata. A la même époque, certains artistes noirs s’exilèrent en France pour mieux riposter. En effet Paris, moins hostile, facilitait leur expression artistique. Leur succès à l’étranger démontrait alors la responsabilité et la complicité des institutions américaines dans la discrimination raciale. Pourtant, l’attitude française n’était pas plus enviable vis-à-vis de ses colonies, notamment en Afrique noire. Si le racisme et la discrimination étaient clairement affichés aux Etats-Unis, il s’insinuait de manière plus pernicieuse dans la société française, dont les journaux contribuèrent très largement à cette émulation picturale. L'analyse croisée entre ces deux pays révèle des analogies singulières dans la représentation des Noirs dans les journaux de l’époque, tant dans le système ségrégationniste américain que dans l'empire colonial français. Les stéréotypes développés par la presse raciste archétypes dans l’inconscient collectif. Les partisans de s’imprégnèrent en l'émancipation y opposèrent leur image à différentes phases de leur combat – entre la guerre de Sécession et le mouvement des droits civiques d’un côté, de la France coloniale aux guerres de décolonisation de l'autre. Cette analyse de l’histoire de la presse et des illustrations se propose d’éclairer la convergence progressive des lois américaine et française aspirant à tendre vers une société sans préjugé racial. Elle souligne également l'idée que l'image est porteuse de sens, constitue un langage à part entière et a pleinement contribué, à l’époque, à construire et déconstruire les inégalités racialesWithin the framework of Histoire croisée, this thesis focuses on the impact of press drawings, in France and in the USA, on the black population’s fight to obtain rights at key moments between 1861 and 1965. Following their surrender at the end of the US Civil War, the Confederates bolstered their racist ideology with a new ideological weapon, the political cartoon, a major asset in the Union’s victory. In the XX century, th the African Americans reacted to the confederate propaganda and a war of images ensued. Simultaneously, some black artists went into exile in France in order to fight back more adequately. France provided an ideal environment for artistic expression due to hostility against them in Paris being lower than in the USA. Their success abroad thus demonstrated the responsibility and the complicity on the part of American institutions in terms of racial discrimination. That said, the French attitude was far from admirable when it came to its colonies, particularly those of black Africa. Though racism and discrimination were clearly visible within the USA, these mindsets were insinuated more perniciously within French society, the country’s newspapers contributing substantially to this pictorial emulation. A focus on the inter-crossings between these two countries reveals unique analogies in the representation of black people in the newspapers of the time, both within the segregationist system of the USA as well as within France’s colonial empire. The stereotypes developed by the racist press pervaded the collective subconscious as archetypes. The partisans of emancipation protested against this propagation through the use of their own image in different phases of their fight – between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement in the United States; and from colonial France to the African independence movements. This analysis of the history of the press and of its illustrations seeks to shed light on the progressive convergence of American and French laws aiming at a society free from racial prejudice. It also underlines the idea that the image bears meaning, constituting a language in its own right, and that it plays a significant role in the construction and the deconstruction of racial inequality

Exponents of the “pact of fact” in the structure of the 18th century hand-written newspapers by Teodor Ostrowski: source incipits Summary In the second half of the 18th century, hand-written newspapers created an unofficial (alternative to printed newspapers) circulation of information. The article analyzes a collection of hand-written newspapers by Teodor Ostrowski from 1782, which were representative of the 18th century unofficial press discourse. The concept of the “pact of fact” was referred to and it was assumed that it was a conceptual framework in media-linguistic studies of texts whose press status must be determined and assessed. Measures were described which in Ostrowski’s hand-written newspapers fulfilled the terms of the pact of fact and indicated sources of information. Repeated lexemes and collocations were presented, the function of which was to refer to direct (spoken) sources from the country, from abroad and, to a lesser extent, to printed newspapers.

United by a culture of solidarity and political protest, the working-class community revealed in the periodical España Libre was favored by various networks of support. These included networks associated with the Second Spanish Republican government and politicians in exile; labor unions both within and outside the United States; educators, including Spanish academics and the Modern Schools; as well as Spanish-language and radical publishers operating in Europe and South America. Through the alternative press and fundraising events, exiles met other migrant, ethnic, and radical individuals and maintained a sense of trust and community so necessary to avoid the isolation of exile. On the contrary, ethnic and radical networks strengthened the Confederadas in its commitment to generating its own non-institutionalized and transnational modes of collective organization.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter historicizes and theorizes an alternative record of lyric practice that emerged in the Depression but has been obscured. Specifically, the writings of communist poets Genevieve Taggard and Edwin Rolfe allow for an exploration of alternate conceptions of the poetic lyric, where lyric becomes a means to reinvent structural aspects of self in relation to the dialectics of historical change. After demonstrating how Rolfe’s engagements with the romantic lyric reasserted traditional terms of lyrical agency on the historical ground of capitalist crisis, the chapter mobilizes Taggard’s notion of a “lyric effect” to provide a different understanding of the contours of the lyric subject as well as the links between experiments with lyric and forms of collective action. Subsequent sections take up important aspects of Depression poetic discourses: the reception of Rolfe’s poetry in the left press; Taggard’s and Rolfe’s engagements with Romanticism, especially Walt Whitman’s legacy; and Taggard’s interest in music and radio technology. Across these topics, the chapter demonstrates how abstracted versions of the romantic lyric, choral music, and oral recitation become “lyric.” The final section turns to the contemporary reception of Rolfe’s poetry to forward a methodological polemic about the relationship of lyric reading to historical practice.

Abstract The American and French revolutions of the late eighteenth century demonstrated that novel forms of social organisation were possible, ones that were radically different from the monarchies that ruled all of Europe. In Ireland, those who were seeking to modify Ireland’s connection with Britain were quick to embrace the alternative model of a democratic republic. The organisation that was most involved in promoting democracy, and separation from Britain, was the Society of United Irishmen. Founded in Belfast in 1791 as a reformist body, in its later, revolutionary phase, it adopted novel means of disseminating its political programme, including the use of popular song, many of which were copied from the radical press in Britain. There had been political songs in the English language in Ireland since the late seventeenth century, but the United Irishmen were the first to use the form in a consistent way, publishing four collections, each of several dozen items, in the years 1795, 1796, 1798, and 1803, on each occasion timed to coincide with some special effort, including armed action. The perceived success of this tactic led to it being imitated by Irish loyalists, who published similar collections, clearly a reaction to the United Irishmen’s songs, many of them parodies of the earlier material.

The chapter focuses on collective digital projects representing real stories in Mexico, particularly on 72 migrantes (2010) and Testigos presenciales (2014). It aims to demonstrate that new media narratives are alternative ways for truth-telling while dealing with a failed state and a censored press. Since 2006, when public policies against drug trafficking provoked the rise of violence in the country, there has been a boom of what Cristina Rivera Garza has called “necrowriting.” Moving beyond conventional testimonial accounts, these works use new communication technologies in response to experiences of horrorism. The chapter reflects on how the Mexican artistic community responds to this horror by telling what they call “death stories.” Following Rosi Braidotti’s theory of the posthuman, this chapter proposes that new media narratives expose an updated version of Walter Benjamin’s storyteller. Contemporary storytellers, it is argued, excavate life from the dead in their aim of rescuing lost identities. This process, however, cannot leave the storyteller intact. In the era of the eyewitness and the new forensic sensibility, testimonial narratives are no longer attached to a particular person or locality but rather can be found at the intersections of self, community, and geopolitical borders.

Full textAbstract:
With the formation of the Parliamentary Republic of Latvia in the early 1920s, higher education in Latvia underwent the changes that affected the Baltic Germans. The necessity to obtain higher education in the Latvian language was perceived with mixed feelings, and the interest in the establishment and development of the University of Latvia (UL) and involvement in the reorganisation of the Riga Polytechnic Institute (RPI) went hand in hand with the reluctance to accept the full Latvianization of higher education. In the circumstances, the students used contacts established by their student corporations and sought for higher education in Germany, where it could be obtained in German but later equated to the higher education obtained in Latvia. Thus, the aim of the article is to evaluate the possibilities for the Baltic German students from the parliamentary state of Latvia (1920–1934) to study in German universities. The research is based on the documents of UL and Baltic German student corporations from the Latvian State Historical Archive (LVVA), Baltic German student corporation press (journals and anniversary books) kept in the UL Library, UL activity reports (1924–1931) stored in UL Museum history collection and available research on the Baltic German minority in the Parliamentary Republic of Latvia. The study showed that during the parliamentary period, the Latvian Baltic Germans used the state granted minority rights to find alternative ways to obtain higher education in German. The parliamentary system did not discriminate against the Baltic Germans for their use of the German language and allowed them to study in Germany but demanded that their diplomas be equated with the diploma obtained at the UL. The contacts established by student corporations helped Baltic German students to better integrate into the German study environment offering accommodation on the premises of student corporations in Germany. At the same time, additional knowledge through lectures on the political situation of Baltic Germans in the parliamentary state of Latvia did not allow them losing their historical connection with the Baltic region.

Introduction There are steadily expanding claims that teacher community contributes to the improvement in the practices of teaching and schooling (cf., Witziers et al., 1999; Little, 2003; Darling-Hammond and Bransford, 2005) as well as individual teacher development and the collective capacity schools (cf., Seashore Louis et al., 1996; Grossman et al., 2001; Imants et al., 2001; Achinstein, 2002; Piazza et al., 2009). In line with Grossman et al. (2001), we are interested in teacher community at the local level, where interaction, dialogue and trust are necessary elements of building cohesion. Based on the definition of community by Bellah et al (1985), we define a teacher community as ‘a group of teachers who are socially interdependent, who participate together in discussion and decision making, and share and build knowledge with a group identity, shared domain and goals, and shared interactional repertoire’. This means that we distinguish three core features of a teacher community: group identity, shared domain and goals, and shared interactional repertoire. These features refers to the nature of a community (group identity), what a community is about (shared domain), and how it functions (shared interactional repertoire). In a literature review of Brouwer et al. (in press), 31 design principles have been retrieved from the literature about the setup of efficient and effective teacher communities in schools. Examples of design principles are the promotion of interdependence, shared responsibility and individual accountability, the development of guidelines for dealing with conflicts and decision-making, and the consideration of group size and heterogeneity of expertise. The use of online workspaces might solve issues in communication and collaboration of school teachers as well as in establishing feelings of cohesion and trust –in addition to face-to-face interaction and collaboration. However, the problem is that we do not know how online workspace should be designed in order to efficiently and effectively communities of teachers in secondary school. Method and results A systematic review will be presented of online workspaces from the perspective of how teacher communities should be designed in order to effectively and efficiently support collaboration and communication of teachers in secondary schools. These tools includes tools for collaborative writing, file sharing, mind mapping, group communication, social networking, wikis and blogs, web presenting, whiteboarding, web and video conferencing, chat and instant messaging, and project management and event scheduling. Subsequently, online collaboration tools are evaluated on the way their functionalities potentially facilitate the design principles that have been worked out. Literature Achinstein, B.
