Abstract:

Este pequeno ensaio trata de analisar o porquê de haver uma longa tradição nas ciências humanas e sociais na América Latina de importar, indiscriminadamente, teorias e conceitos dos países do Norte. Chamamos “Ciência Cover” a atitude de copiar os conceitos estranhos à realidade social latino-americana. Ao mesmo tempo, há esforços importantes de elaboração própria, como a teoria da dependência, a sociologia da exploração e o conceito de "imperialismo interno", que apontam para uma autêntica construção latino-americana de conhecimento.Palavras-chave: Ciência Cover. América Latina. Teoria da independência. Sociologia da exploração. Imperialismo interno."Science Cover" in Humanities and social sciences in Latin AmericaAbstractThis small essay tries to analyze why there is a long tradition in Latin American humanities and social sciences to import theories and concepts from the countries of the North. I call “cover science” an attitude of importing ideas and concepts from other regions and of applying them indiscriminately to local social realities. At the same time, there are important efforts of authentic Latin American knowledge construction such as dependency theory, the sociology of exploitation or the concept of "internal imperialism”.Keywords: Science cover.

Abstract:

AbstractFor the last three decades, scholars of Canadian political culture have favoured ideological explanations for state formation with the starting point being the American Revolution and Loyalist resettlement in British North America. This article challenges both the ideological bias and the late eighteenth-century chronology through a reassessment of early modern developments in the British imperial state. It shows that many of the institutional features associated with the state in British North America and later Canada—strong executives and weak assemblies, Crown control of land and natural resources, parliamentary funding of colonial development and accommodation of non-British subjects—were all institutionalized in the imperial state before the American Revolution and before the arrival of significant numbers of ethnically British settlers to Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Ideological discourses in the British North American colonies that became Canada, unlike those that became the United States, traditionally acknowledged the presence of a strong state in its imperial and colonial manifestations. Rather than challenging its legitimacy, as had Americans, British North Americans, whether liberals, republicans or tories, debated the function of the state and the distribution of power within it.

Abstract:

This study seeks to begin the process of articulating a new understanding of conceptualizing Islam in North America. Unlike previous studies that examine North American Islam from the perspectives of sociology or history, what follows attempts to use certain questions formulated by the anthropology of religion. This calls for examining the complexity and messiness of Islams, especially as they relate to equally unstable factors such as culture and society. From there, this study focusses on the relationship of various Islams to multivalent North American urban spaces, showing how such spaces affect Muslim understandings of gender, sexuality and religion.

Abstract:

Sociology<br>Ph.D.<br>Extreme poverty remains a persistent problem across the globe. Academics, practitioners, politicians and activists have sought ways to address this persistent problem. Traditional approaches to dealing with endemic poverty have centered around international aid and trade. The band aid approach of using aid alone to alleviate poverty has, at best, been ineffectual. International trade has also often been used as a means to increase the economic standing of an impoverished country. Trade has the potential to increase a country's economic position (e.g., gross domestic product) however it does not necessarily reduce poverty. It has become apparent that more effect means of reducing poverty are needed. In recent years, several bottom-up alternative approaches have emerged. Fair Trade is one such approach that seeks to balance the inequalities of traditional trade and provide a market where those on the bottom can participate more fully and fairly in economic enterprise. This study investigates the state of the alternative form of trade known as Fair Trade. Specifically, this study examines the development, functioning, and sustainability of the North American Fair Trade market. Realistically speaking, Fair Trade, which accounts for only a very small percentage of global trade, currently does not appear to be a replacement for traditional free trade. However, this study investigates if the Fair Trade market has the potential to become an important component of general efforts (e.g., by the United Nations and World Bank) to raise the living standards of the world's poor and function as an alternative market to the traditional free trade market. Two key areas of the market were examined in this study to ascertain the sustainability of the Fair Trade market. Specifically, the financial sustainability of the Fair Trade market was assessed. Quantitative data on sales and growth of Fair Trade goods over the past several decades was compiled to illustrate the relative significance and the future prospects of this market's financial status. These data were supplemented with an analysis of the financial records of available years of operation from a sample of Fair Trade businesses. Also, the organizational structure of the Fair Trade market was examined to ascertain the operational sustainability of the market. Organizational data were compiled to identify the business choices made by Fair Trade businesses. Results suggest that financially the North American Fair Trade market is growing at or above the pace of comparable non-Fair Trade businesses. Further, this study highlights a distinct and largely self sustaining organizational structure of the North American Fair Trade market.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:

Western political thought is Eurocentric in world view. Since Western thought has been accepted as universal, there is the need to respond to this situation. This thesis will examine egalitarianism from a perspective of North American tribal society. It is my hypothesis that since the discovery of the Americas, indigenous people continue to have a contradictory experience of egalitarianism. Although certain elements of equality were common to the thinking of indigenous people and Western man, Western nations oppressed indigenous people through egalitarian policies.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to study the relationship between educational attitudes and certain background features of Native Americans, in particular, where they were raised and what type of school they attended. The sample used consisted of 120 completed mail out-mail back surveys that were used primarily as a Needs Assessment for the Portland Indian Health clinic. The sample was randomly selected from the Portland Indian Health Clinic client/patient mailing list. The findings of this thesis indicate that the attitudes of Native Americans toward education in general are positive. The findings also indicate that older Native Americans who experienced being sent to a B.I.A. boarding school off the reservation have the least positive attitudes towards Indian Education programs. Implications and recommendation for further research are discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis examines the relevance of the state-supported historically black universities of North Carolina and their impact on the growth of the African American community within the state. As plans were proposed to either consolidate or close the institutions over the decades, the governors of the state and presidents of the institutions compromised and found ways to provide funding to each of the respective universities. That funding, along with private and public contributions, and the restructuring of the institutions' curriculum, enabled these historically black universities to survive during the Great Depression and the current Great Recession. Overall, the thesis provides an understanding of the hardships and disparities these institutions saw in the past and continue to see today. But as they continue to serve the underrepresented populations in the United States, the relevance of these institutions will continue to come into question.

Abstract:

<p> This study examines relationships of African-American high school equivalency (HSE) students' sense of belonging to their peers, faculty, and community college environment. A sense of belonging is an important factor in understanding students’ internal and external motivations, perceptions, desires, and academic successes. For many African-American HSE students, community colleges are the pathways chosen to enhance their skills for a better education, potential income increase, and possible advancement in the workforce. A sense of belonging, socioeconomic desires, and cultural influences can promote adult learners’ return to the classroom in pursuit of a high school diploma. The purpose of this study was to examine and gain in-sight on a sense of belonging, educational attainment, and gender gaps of African-American high school equivalency female and male students’ experiences in quest of a higher education. This mixed-method research study recorded students’ shared experiences and insight in regards to a sense of belonging; as a result, the findings from this study have implications to change policy, curriculum, and program structure. The significance of this study was to make a contribution to the knowledge on African-American students’ sense of belonging with peers, faculty, and the community college environment. </p><p>

Allen, Melanie. "The Short Fiction of Bobbie Ann Mason: Exposing the Problems in American Society & Searching for Some Solutions." TopSCHOLAR®, 1990. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2113.

Full text

Abstract:

Bobbie Ann Mason uses her fiction to portray the problems in American society. She devotes most of her time to average persons who are suffering from the rapid changes that society is going through. These characters at times seem lost and helpless, but ultimately they do not give up hope for a brighter future. Through social problems such as divorce, lack of communication, loss of identity and place, obsession with the past, submersion in rock music and TV, loss of ritual, proliferation of objects, lack of education, and the need to face mortality, these characters still seem to have hope and strength. There are serious problems to deal with, but there is also a future that can possibly bring better times if the problems can be solved successfully. But Mason's world is not completely pessimistic and not all of her characters are miserable. Many of them take advantage of the changes in society, and improve their lives. Also, there are still positive values left. They are not as obvious, but they are still there if a person takes the time to look. Not everything has changed for the worse. For example, Mason seems to suggest later marriages. Early marriages lead to discontentment and more than an abundance of problems, and most of Mason's characters who married younp. are very dissatisfied with their lives. Mason also stresses the fact that most people have the freedom of choice since people no longer have to behave in a certain manner, and society is more accepting than it once was. Mason also points out the peace and contentment that can be found with the land. She says as well that simplicity many times is preferable to the "technological advances" that have driven people to large cities where everyone seems the same, and she Insists that there are still small towns and contented people who inhabit them. Other positive qualities are the fact that we have the opportunity to receive an education, and we still have humor. We can look at the mistakes we have made and find humor in them as well as learn from them. Mason also seems to retain the hope that changes will keep occurring, that people still care enough to fight for a better, less problem-filled life. In subtle ways, Mason's fiction is optimistic.

Full text

Abstract:

AbstractIn the United States, gentrification typically involves whites displacing African American, working-class communities. This work uses a political economy framework to better understand the clues displacement leaves behind. Specifically, this research investigates what happened to a former community in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, known as Silver Hill, which was an enclave of mostly African American residents founded in the late nineteenth century just west of the city. Through archival research and investigation of the remaining traces of the neighborhood, we develop a theory of spatial erasure that highlights how wealthy white communities that grew up around Silver Hill subsumed and eradicated it. Specifically, racial capitalism played a major role in the abuse and neglect of Silver Hill. The neighborhood became surrounded by wealthy white developments which cut off road access to their homes. Today, a cemetery, two houses, and a litany of historical records offer clues about what was once a thriving African American community. Additionally, descendants of the neighborhood’s residents provide key information about its life and death. We discuss the implications of examining this history, especially as it pertains to the collective remembrance of Silver Hill.

Abstract:

Sociology was founded in 19th century Europe and was institutionally formed in the mid-20th century United States. Its core concepts were shaped by those two historical-cultural milieux. As a result, the discipline sees the world as centred on the Global North, with the rest of humanity still embedded in ‘tradition’. Though sociologists recognize this approach’s flaws, this origin still shapes their teaching and research. This chapter shows how concepts developed in two non-Euro-American civilizations can improve contemporary sociology’s understanding of aspects of social life worldwide. The first set of concepts comes from Confucian China; it emphasizes the important role that maintaining right relationships plays in religious life. The second set comes from 14th-century North Africa; it helps understand the interactions between ethnicity and religion in a deeper way than is possible for a sociology that puts these two things into separate conceptual boxes. These illustrate the benefit for world sociology of overcoming the discipline’s theoretical ethnocentrism.

Abstract:

Abstract The late 1980s witnessed a revival of public interest in scientific racism on North American campuses. The media gave broad coverage to research by scholars in the United States and Canada that attempted to establish a scientific basis for classifying humans into “superior” and “inferior” genetic groups. For example, J. Philippe Rushton, professor at the University of Western Ontario, argued that whites and Asians are generally more intelligent and family-oriented than were blacks, while Johns Hopkins University sociology professor Robert Gordon advanced the claim that the high crime rate among American blacks correlated with their comparatively low intelligence level.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract The visible presence and frequent social inclusion of gender minority people in First Nations across the North American continent spurred settler sociologists to describe Indigenous gender difference using the term “berdache.” That term was not embraced by Indigenous Peoples themselves, as frameworks of gender expression, terms used to describe gender difference, and social roles for those so named often differed by First Nation. Forced assimilation practices, such as boarding and residential schools and compulsory conversion to Christianity, attempted to erase Indigenous culture, including distinct gender frameworks. Efforts by First Nations Peoples to preserve Indigenous cultural specificity, including their terms for gender difference, have been undermined by widespread destruction of Indigenous languages. Beginning around the 1960s, some First Nations people began to express their gender or sexual difference by identifying as “Two-Spirit” and formed regional groups to organize socially and politically around that identity. This chapter will examine how contemporary representations of Two-Spirit identity hold continuity and disruption in creative tension.

Abstract:

In North America, the subdisciplines of recreation geography, tourism geography, and sport geography (RTS) are alive and well. From their beginnings as serious research topics in the 1930s (cf. Mitchell and Smith 1989), the RTS subfields have gradually emerged as legitimate and significant areas of study within North American geography. Among the three subdisciplines, tourism geography has experienced the greatest growth in recent years, and in view of the role of tourism in the world economy, that growth trend is expected to continue. This chapter presents an overview of research in recreation geography, tourism geography, and sport geography by North American geographers since 1988. Research conducted prior to that date was summarized in Mitchell and Smith’s (1989) chapter in the first volume of Geography of America (Gaile and Willmott 1989), and readers are urged to consult that reference. An excellent summary of themes in RTS research from a global perspective is provided by Hall and Page (1999). According to a traditional, dualistic Western definition, all time can be divided into two categories: work and leisure. Leisure, or non-work time, is filled with various activities (or “non-activities”) such as watching television, playing games, and socializing. Whereas the study of many leisure activities falls within the domains of psychology, physical education, and sociology, most leisure activities also lend themselves to geographic analysis. This is where the origins of RTS geography lie. Tourism and recreation activities exhibit distinct place, time, distance, and activity patterns. For example, tourism is typically more passive and entails more distant and extended travel than does most recreation. Sport is a form of recreation that includes both active participation and passive spectator activities. Leisure studies is a broad and multidisciplinary research area that encompasses most of the RTS literature, and that has engendered its own body of literature that geographers have contributed to. However, the terms “leisure geography” or “geography of leisure” never came into common use among North American geographers. Mitchell and Smith (1989) noted that the term “recreation geography” was coined in 1954, and up through the 1970s it seemed best to reflect the predominant interests of North American geographers studying leisure activities.

Abstract:

Backgroud: "Population migration" is a term that has many meanings. Population migration can manifest itself in such forms as nomadism, pilgrimage, wanderings, urbanization, ruralization, etc. Population migrations have a long history, but are relatively little studied. In Western Europe and North America, population migration became the object of sociological research only from the middle of the 19th century. Interest in the study of population migration has become relevant due to the needs of studying the adaptation of immigrants in host countries and studying the consequences of mass emigration of the working population from donor countries. Purpose: To carry out a systematization and comparative analysis of the main approaches to the study of migration in sociology and other socio-humanitarian disciplines. Methods: The work uses a number of general scientific and special sociological methods: logicalsemantic - for analyzing and deepening the conceptual apparatus of the concept of external migration; comparative analysis of the results of statistical and specifically sociological studies of migration. Results: A significant increase in the scale and intensity of international population migration at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century led to the interest of Ukrainian sociologists in the issue of migration. The theoretical and methodological approaches of Western researchers echo the approaches of post-Soviet scientists, in particular, in the recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of population migration studies. Thus, there are six sociological approaches to the study of migration. At the same time, V. Iontsev noted that to the sociological approach "it would be possible to add the classification of migration flows according to vertical and horizontal characteristics and the theory of "rational expectations". Conclusion: Within the scope of the comprehensive study, a broad classification of approaches to the study of migration was presented. V. Iontsev's classification included 17 scientific approaches to the study of population migration, which, in turn, united 45 scientific directions, were classified as: the concept of "attraction - repulsion" by E. Lee (E. Lee); ethnosociological approach K. Davis (K. Davis), Y. Harutyunyan; the theory of "migration chain" D. Gurac (D. Gurac), F. Caces (F. Caces), D. Massey (D. Massey), A. Simmons (A. Simmons); the cultural approach of H. Esse, J. Rex, J. Bustamante; assimilation theory of H. Werner (H. Werner), M. Gordon (M. Gordon); sociological theory of migration (sociology of migration) by T. Zaslavska, T. Yudina. Keywords: migration, social migration, population migration

Abstract:

Over the past century, as mobility increased and communication heightened, architectural education saw a shared vision gain uptake and adoption in many corners of the globe. Informed by an embrace of architecture as a regulated profession, schools pursued similar standards, structure, accreditation &amp; assessment, albeit with local overlays and national policies dictating details and nuancing content. While numerous models developed in concert, all pursued the notion of education providing base competencies for the subsequent pursuit of professional registration/certification and associated modes of practice. In many ways curricula has been increasingly comparable between many international regions, which has resulted in benefits around legibility, reputation and value of architecture as both discipline and profession. Centered on the studio as a signature pedagogy, architectural education has tended, to date, to translate well across borders and boundaries. However, recent challenges such as climate change, health calamities, financial crises, and global conflict, to name but a few, have given cause to critically review architectural education, writ-large, in terms of content, delivery, value, efficacy and impact. The present project, driven by researchers in North America and the Middle East, examines and interrogates aspects of architectural education considering this ethos of upheaval. The work, which is exploratory in extent and preliminary in character, is intended as a provocation concerning the status quo. Included in the probe are factors that prove fundamental to our productively advancing the profession and practices of Architecture: namely technology, psychology, sociology, business, research, sustainability and ethics. Developing from an environmental scan, and drawing from extensive administrative experience (in numerous nations) of the two lead authors, the research then examines selected details for each of these factors - proposing new means and methods that promise to better prepare architecture students for a dramatically different world. Ancillary yet vital qualities, such as interdisciplinary engagement, leadership, intersectoral understanding, and holism, are investigated with respect to a curricular reset. The authors shape a novel model for higher education in architecture that resonates with emerging demands and equips students to survive and thrive given the changing global context and the transcendental ‘new normal.’

Abstract:

As visões coloniais modernas do Norte Global enfatizam demais a mente para a produção de conhecimento e a criação de sentido sobre as diferentes dimensões do corpo. No Sul Global, diferentes onto-epistemologias reconhecem que a compreensão vai além da mente como sentipensar (Fals Borda, 2009) e corazonar (Cepeda H., 2017; Pérez Moreno, 2012). Esta apresentação discute os insights significativos do aprendizado de tecelagem de tear traseiro ( jolobil) como uma abordagem de descolonização. Durante minha jornada de pesquisa, um desejo intuitivo crescente de aprender o jolobil tornou-se uma experiência transformadora, mudando a direção e contribuindo para a investigação de diferentes maneiras. A reflexividade incorporada de jolobil conectando corpo, mente, coração e energia vital (espírito) em relação às pessoas e ao lugar permitiu uma construção de sentido holística de Lekil Kuxlejal, um Tsotsil maia e equivalente Tseltal de Buen Vivir. Considerando a importância das diferentes dimensões do corpo para a criação de sentido e a presença do coração na cultura maia (e mesoamericana), a documentação de meu aprendizado jolobil através dos “olhos do coração” serviu como uma janela para não experimentar apenas o processo complexo e trabalhoso de tecelagem de tear traseiro, mas também para permitir que os espectadores mergulhem no jolobil, uma compreensão do meu aprendizado corazonando. Jolobil, uma prática cultural pré-colonial ensinada pela deusa Ixchel, é atualmente uma prática viva diretamente relacionada ao bem-estar do tecelão como parte de uma comunidade, e é um meio para se reconectar com a ancestralidade e herança indígenas. Também possui fortes dimensões afetivas, onde os tecelões requerem paciência e concentração para deixar o coração fluir pelos fios, nutrindo e orientando o processo, proporcionando uma sensação de harmonia, bem-estar e pertencimento. A prática do jolobil é frequentemente feita em torno da família ou em grupos, permitindo a integração intergeracional e a transmissão de conhecimento. Estes elementos, alinhados à minha herança cultural, foram integrados por meio da inclusão de meus familiares durante a pesquisa de campo, uma postura descolonial como mulher nativa latino-americana. Outra contribuição da minha experiência corporificada foi usar o jolobil como uma metáfora de pesquisa, tecendo teorias, métodos e ferramentas de diferentes disciplinas, como antropologia, sociologia e design, ao lado de conhecimentos indígenas. Usando a descolonização como um quadro transversal, esta abordagem metodológica entrelaça etnografia visual-digital-sensorial, codesign, cosmovisão maia (visão de mundo), têxteis como resistência e zapatismo para a exploração do que constitui uma vida justa e digna, Lekil Kuxlejal, para maia Tecelões Tsotsil e Tseltal, em colaboração coletiva e horizontal. Ecoando o apoio do tecelão ao tear com a parte inferior das costas, o jolobil inclui o conhecimento por meio de nossos corpos e práticas criativas, através da incorporação, sentipensar e corazonar como a integração de nós mesmos com o Todo, um ser único com o Todo.
