Abstract:

The ethnolinguistic terms in which the children of Dominican immigrants in Rhode Island think of themselves, i.e. as “Spanish” or “Hispanic,” are frequently at odds with the phenotype-based racial terms “Black” or “African American,” applied to them by others in the United States. Spanish language is central to resisting such phenotype-racial categorization, which denies Dominican Americans their Hispanic ethnicity. Through discourse analysis of naturally occurring peer interaction at a high school, this article shows how a Dominican American who is phenotypically indistinguishable from African Americans uses language, in both intra- and inter-ethnic contexts, to negotiate identity and resist ascription to totalizing phenotype-racial categories. In using language to resist such hegemonic social categorization, the Dominican second generation is contributing to the transformation of existing social categories and the constitution of new ones in the US.

Abstract: for Yuri Lotman, a student of semiotics of culture, the language has two levels, to know, natural and cultural, both of which influence each other. The Dominican Republic, a Caribbean country of spanish colonization and Catholic population, has numerous symbols that preserve this history. In view of this, with the present article, we propose to conceptualize the levels of language from Yuri Lotman's Theory, to analyze the historical symbols and clippings of the constitution of the Dominican Republic, from dispose, to present how the religious language and political language are related in the sense of construction an imaginary fatherland giving meaning to the identity of the Dominican people. Our methodology is based on bibliographical research and content analysis that analysis some symbols and spaces demonstrating the connection between the religious and political spheres. Finally, we think that despite the state's secularity, religious symbols played a fundamental role in the construction of the imaginary country.Cultura, Religión y Estado: el Imaginario Patrio de la República Dominicana y el Lenguaje ReligiosoPara Yuri Lotman, estudioso de la semiótica de la cultura, el lenguaje posee dos niveles; los cuales son natural y cultural, siendo que los dos se influencian.

Delante de esto, con el presente artículo proponemos conceptualizar los niveles de lenguaje a partir de la teoría de Yuri Lotman, analizar los símbolos y recortes históricos de la constitución de la Republica Dominicana y, a partir de este, presentar como el lenguaje religioso y el lenguaje político se relacionan en el sentido de construir un imaginario patrio dándole sentido a la identidad del pueblo dominicano. Nuestra metodología se basa en la investigación bibliográfica y análisis de contenido en el cual analizando algunos símbolos y espacios, demostramos la conexión entre la esfera religiosa y política. En fin, pensamos, que a pesar del secularismo del Estado, los símbolos religiosos han desempeñado un papel fundamental en la construcción do imaginario patrio.Cultura, Religião e Estado: o imaginário pátrio da República Dominicana e a Linguagem ReligiosaResumo: para Yuri Lotman, estudioso da semiótica da cultura, a linguagem possui dois níveis, a saber, natural e cultural, sendo que os dois se influenciam.

Abstract:

Thomas Aquinas (1224/25-1274) joined the Order of Preachers around the year 1244 and became one of the most famous friars of this own time. He died in 1274 at the Cistercian monastery of Fossanova where his remains were venerated for almost a hundred years. The Dominicans, who had desired the return of the body of their beloved brother, finally received it by the order of Pope V in 1368. The Pope also ordered that the relics should have been transported (translatio) to Toulouse, where they arrived on 28 January 1369. In this article, I argue that his joining the Order was considered Thomas's first coming, and the transportation of his relics to Toulouse was his second coming to the Order. I will analyse the Office of Translatio (ca.1371) in the historical contexts of the beginning of the Observant reform of the Dominican Order in a period which was extremely unstable regarding both the papacy itself and politics between France and Italy. I will propose that the Office of Translatio inaugurated Thomas as the leader of a new era and the saviour of good Christians in a Christ-like manner. The liturgy of Translatio appears to offer a new interpretation of new apostles, the Dominicans, and the construction of eschatological self-understanding for the Dominican identity.

Abstract:

Over the last decade, Dominican American Hollywood actress Zoe Saldaña has graced countless magazine covers and starred in numerous blockbuster films viewed worldwide. Her mixed-race body and her ability to visually represent both black and Latina identity have had broad appeal in the global marketplace. This transnational feminist cultural studies analysis of Saldaña as text argues that narratives of her racial identity as Dominican and her resulting racial malleability allow viewers to project a wide range of racialized fantasies onto her Afro-Latina body. It proposes that the fact that Saldaña’s blackness is in flux, depending on where she is read and whether she is read by US or Dominican racial logics, makes her that much more provocative to viewers. Ethnographic notes on her reception in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, illustrate the shifting significance of her identity as her image crosses borders. Examinations of Saldaña in print advertising, on Calvin Klein’s interactive website, and in the films Avatar (2009) and The Losers (2010) reveal how her racialized femininity can be mobilized as well as customized for viewers as they choose how to interpret her racial meaning. Saldaña’s visual ambiguity in black-and-white advertising has now been transformed into the ambiguity of exoticized nonhuman species and performed under blue and green makeup. Nevertheless, narratives about her identity that viewers carry shape how she is read and desired, even as an alien from an intergalactic future. RESUMEN Durante la última década, la actriz de Hollywood Zoe Saldaña, dominicano-estadounidense, ha aparecido en innumerables portadas de revistas y ha protagonizado numerosas películas de gran éxito vistas en todo el mundo. Según se ha visto, su cuerpo de raza mixta y su capacidad de representar visualmente tanto la identidad negra como la latina tienen un gran atractivo en el mercado global. En el presente análisis de Saldaña como texto, que se fundamenta teóricamente en el feminismo transnacional y los estudios culturales, sostengo que las narrativas de la identidad racial de Saldaña como dominicana, y su resultante maleabilidad racial, permiten al público proyectar una gran variedad de fantasías racializadas sobre su cuerpo afrolatino. Sostengo que el hecho de que la negritud de Saldaña sea de difícil definición la hace tanto más provocativa para el público espectador, ya que depende de dónde la lean y de si la leen las lógicas raciales estadounidenses o dominicanas. Algunas notas etnográficas sobre su recepción en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, constituyen un ejemplo de cómo cambia su identidad cuando su imagen cruza fronteras. Los análisis de Saldaña en publicidad impresa, en el sitio web interactivo de Calvin Klein y en las películas Avatar (2009) y The Losers (2010) revelan las maneras en que su feminidad racializada puede ser aprovechada y personalizada para un público que decide cómo va a interpretarla en términos raciales. La ambigüedad visual de Saldaña en la publicidad en blanco y negro ahora ha sido transformada en la ambigüedad de especies exóticas no humanas, y ha sido puesta en escena con maquillaje azul y verde. Sin embargo, las ideas preconcebidas que tiene el público sobre su identidad condicionan la manera en que se la lee y se la desea, incluso cuando hace el papel de alienígena de un futuro intergaláctico. RESUMO Na última década, a atriz domínico-americana Zoe Saldaña apareceu na capa de inúmeras revistas e estrelou muitos filmes de sucesso exibidos em todo o mundo. Seu corpo mestiço e sua habilidade de visualmente representar a identidade tanto latina quanto negra demonstraram ter amplo apelo no mercado global. Nesta análise – proveniente dos estudos culturais transnacionais feministas – de Saldaña como texto, eu argumento que as narrativas de sua identidade racial como dominicana e sua resultante maleabilidade racial permitem que espectadores projetem um amplo espectro de fantasias racializadas sobre o seu corpo afro-latino. Eu argumento que o fato de a negritude de Saldaña estar em fluxo, dependendo de onde ela é lida e se ela é lida por lógicas raciais americanas ou dominicanas, a torna tanto mais provocativa aos espectadores. Anotações etnográficas sobre sua recepção em Santo Domingo, na República Dominicana, ilustram a mudança de significado de sua identidade à medida que sua imagem cruza as fronteiras. Averiguação sobre Saldaña em publicidade impressa, no site interativo da Calvin Klein e nos filmes Avatar (2009) e Os Perdedores (2010), revelam os modos pelos quais sua feminilidade racializada pode ser mobilizada, assim como customizada, por espectadores ao passo que eles escolhem como interpretar seu significado racial. A ambiguidade visual de Saldaña na publicidade em preto e branco é agora transformada na ambiguidade de um espécie não-humana exoticizada e performada sob maquiagem azul e verde. No entanto, narrativas sobre sua identidade que o espectador carrega informam como ela está sendo lida e desejada, mesmo como uma alienígena do futuro intergaláctico.

Abstract:

This study examines racial tolerance through the intersection of the media, fans, and the Boston Red Sox. Through the 1998 season Red Sox home games in which Dominican Pedro Martinez pitched attracted large numbers of Latinos. This marked the first time that large numbers of people of color regularly attended Fenway Park. Media reports simultaneously promoted both an awareness of this cultural phenomenon and portrayed it as widely applauded. In presenting a story of Boston’s “embracing the ace,” the media reports also wound up pushing a view of widespread approval of the new Latino presence both in Fenway and society at large. This study sought to compare the impressions of widespread exuberance for Martinez and the Dominicans at the Park with actual interviews of those Anglos at the Park. It also sought to examine what motivated the Dominicans to attend in such large numbers and to so publicly celebrate their identity. The results showed that Anglos held a fractured view about Dominicans: a very positive view of Pedro Martinez as a Dominican but a fairly evenly split view of Dominicans in general. For their part, Dominicans were unconcerned with what Anglos thought and came to the game only to lend support to their Latino hero, as well as bask in his reflected glow. One methodological conclusion arrived at is that media content analysis must be cross checked against some sort of data and must not be assumed to accurately reflect social reality.

Abstract:

The Dominican American community in New York is perhaps one of the best examples of how processes of transculturation are affecting traditional definitions of ethnic identification. Given the intense economic, social and cultural transnational exchanges between the island and the USA from the 1960s, Dominicanyorks have been challenging the illusion of homogeneity in the definition of Americanness for decades, creating transnational social networks that transcend traditional national and ethnographic boundaries. The theatrical works of Josefina Báez, a Dominican American performer living in New York, and Sherezada (Chiqui) Vicioso, a Dominican poet and playwright who lived and worked in the US metropolis for decades before moving back to the Dominican Republic, lyrically explore issues of diaspora, identity and migration and the impact these phenomena might have in the lives of migrant Dominican women. Presenting diasporic experiences from two differing but interconnected locales – New York and the Dominican Republic – these plays offer two complementary views on the ways in which ethnicity, race, social class, age and geopolitical location interact in the formation of transcultural identities, thus contributing to develop a hemispheric approach to the study of identity formation in the Americas.

Abstract:

Given the current political climate in the U.S.—the civil unrest regarding the recognition of the Black Lives Matter movement, the calls to abolish prisons and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, and the workers’ rights movements—projects investigating moments of inter-ethnic solidarity and conflict remain essential. Because inter-ethnic conflict and solidarity in communities of color have become more visible as waves of migration over the past 50 years have complicated and enriched the sociocultural landscape of the U.S., I examine the ways that raciolinguistic ideologies are reflected in assertions of ethno-racial belonging for Afro-Dominicans and their descendants. Framing my analysis at the language, race, and identity interface, I ask what mechanisms are used to perform Blackness and/or anti-Blackness for Dominican(-American)s and in what ways does this behavior contribute to our understanding of Blackness in the U.S.? I undertake a critical discourse analysis on 10 YouTube videos that discuss what I call the African American/Dominican boundary of difference. The results show that the primary inter-ethnic conflict between Dominican(-Americans) and African Americans was posited through a categorization fallacy, in which the racial term “Black” was conceived as an ethnic term for use only with African Americans.

Abstract:

This article examines the manuscripts into which compilers bound Dominican letters of spiritual direction in fifteenth-century Italy. It argues that manuscript compilers sought to model Observant Dominican sanctity after Jerome's late antique practice of writing letters of spiritual direction to women. The paper aims to contribute to the growing conversation around the development and spread of an Observant Dominican identity by demonstrating that compilers modeled Observant beati after Jerome's authoritative persona in order to argue for the ancient precedent of the reformers’ often controversial agendas, chief among them their active ministry to women.

Abstract:

This article considers the formation and representation of Washington, D.C.'s Dominican community in the Anacostia Museum's 1994 -1995 exhibit, Black Mosaic: Community, Race and Ethnicity Among Black Immigrants in D.C. The exhibit successfully pointed to the extensive historical presence of African Diaspora peoples in Latin America and explored the development of subsequent Diaspora from those communities into Washington, D.C. The case of Dominican immigrants to D.C., however, illustrates the continued privileging of a U.S.- or Anglo-centric ideation of African-American history and identity. I argue that a more accurate and politically useful formulation would call for an understanding that the African Diaspora first arrived in what would become Santo Domingo and was constitutive of Latin America several centuries before the arrival of Anglo colonizers and the formation of what would become the United States; that slavery was a polyfacetic institution that articulated with particular colonial and imperial systems and local economies in the Americas in ways that subsequently influenced racial orders and identities in multiple ways, both at home and in Diaspora; and that Dominicans' negotiations of the competing demands of blackness and Latinidad make these points especially salient.

Abstract:

Cacao (Theobroma cacao L.), an introduced tree crop in Dominica, is important for foreign exchange earnings from fine or flavour cocoa. The genetic structure of farmed cacao in Dominica was examined to identify varieties for conservation, breeding, and propagation to improve their cocoa industry. Cacao trees (156) from 73 sites over seven geographical regions were genotyped at 192 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Identity, regional differentiation, phylogenetic, multi-variate, ancestry, and core collection analyses were performed. Farmed cacao germplasm had moderate gene diversity (He = 0.320 ± 0.005) from generally unique trees, but cocoa growing regions were genetically similar. Synonymous matching (16.3%) showed that some clonal material was supplied to farmers. Cacao trees were mainly mixed from Amelonado, Criollo, Iquitos, Contamana, and Marañon ancestries, with predominantly Amelonado–Criollo hybrids. Criollo ancestry, linked to fine or flavour cocoa, was found at more than 30% in 28 unique trees. Forty-five trees, containing the SNP diversity of cacao in Dominica, are recommended as a core germplasm collection. This study identifies promising trees for improving cocoa quality; provides genetic evidence that community, regional, or country-wide pooling would not compromise the exclusive fine or flavour cocoa industry; and discusses other implications towards improving the Dominican cocoa industry.

Abstract:

The correct identity and occurrence of the introduced armored catfish, locally known as “devil fish” or “pleco” in the Dominican Republic, is briefly described. Specimens were collected from six sites in the Dominican Republic. Several meristic and morphometric characters, as well as other external features including coloration, were examined. Results were compared with existing literature on fishes of the family Loricariidae. Examination revealed that specimens of the armored catfish, unofficially reported as Hypostomus plecostomus, actually belongs to the species Pterygoplichthys pardalis (Castelnau, 1855). It is inferred that this fish is established in Dominican inland waters, also the possibe occurrence of more than one species of Pterygoplichthys is discussed. This is the first report of this invasive species in the island of Hispaniola.

Abstract:

Study of the contrasting response to modernization in 2 Dominican villages. Author demonstrates that this contrast is caused by the intentional use of 2 culturally specific ideologies aimed at achieving and maintaining existential security. He also shows that the constitution of the 2 ideologies was conditioned by the ideosyncratic constitution of cultural-ethnic identity, nationalism, and peasant consciousness.

Abstract:

In this article I propose to examine the Trinitarian controversy that developed in the years 1308 to 1325 between the Dominican Durandus of St Pourçain (ca. 1275–1334) and his order, especially in the connection between this controversy and the growth of a Dominican sense of corporate identity. The connection is not at first obvious, but we shall see how the evolution of Durandus's theological thought reflects to a great degree the doctrinal transformation of his order, a transformation which is also illustrative of the doctrinal preoccupations of fourteenth-century Scholasticism.

Abstract:

In this article, I study in depth the first vita of the Franciscan Tertiary abbess Juana de la Cruz (Vida y fin de la bienaventurada virgen sancta Juana de la Cruz, written c. 1534), examining it as a chronicle that narrativizes the origins and reform of a specific religious community in the Castile of the Catholic Monarchs. I argue that Vida y fin constitutes an account that was collectively written inside the walls of the enclosure that can help us understand themes, motifs, and symbolic Franciscan elements that were essential for the self-definition of its original textual community. I first discuss the narrative of the convent’s foundation and then examine the penitential identity of the community, highlighting the inspiration that Juana’s hagiography takes from the infancy of Caterina da Siena, as described in the Legenda maior by Raimondo da Capua, and analyzing to what extent the represented penitential practices related to the imitatio Christi reflect a Franciscan Tertiary identity in opposition to a Dominican one. Finally, I address the passages in which the hagiographer(s) discuss(es) the sense of belonging to the Franciscan order rather than the Dominicans, and the mystical figure of Francesco d’Assisi as a founder, guide, and exemplar.

Abstract:

This paper examined the interface between “racial” and national identity from the perspective of two competing theoretical frameworks: the ideological asymmetry hypothesis and the thesis of Iberian Exceptionalism. In contrast to previous results found in the United States and Israel, use of survey data from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba showed some support for both theoretical positions. Consistent with the asymmetry thesis, there was strong and consistent evidence of racial hierarchy within all three Caribbean nations. However, contradicting the asymmetry hypothesis and more in line with the Iberian Exceptionalism perspective, there was a general tendency for all “races” to be equally attached to the nation in both the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Somewhat unexpectedly, Cuban Blacks tended to be slightly more positively attached to the nation than Cuban Whites. These results suggest that the precise interface between racial and national identity will be acutely influenced by the specific socio-political context within each nation.

Abstract:

The volumes under review present the rich rewards of interdisciplinary collaboration. The team of authors focuses on a particular location, the northern German Dominican cloister of Paradies bei Soest in Westphalia, literally “Paradise,” and digs deeply into the house’s practices, devotional innovations, texts, artworks, and curation of institutional identity.

Abstract:

The study of music and national identity has been limited, in my view, by some underlying assumptions. The first is connected to some influential ideas on nationalism, while the second has to do with long-standing ideas about the relation between music and identity. On nationalism, many approaches place too much emphasis on the homogenising tendencies of nationalist discourse, whereas, in my view, homogenisation exists in a complex and ambivalent relationship with the construction of difference by the same nationalist forces that create homogeneity. In a related fashion, with respect to music and identity, several studies of Latin American musical styles and their socio-political context – for example, ones focusing on the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Brazil – display a tendency to set up a model of homogenising elites versus diversifying and resistant minorities.
