Abstract:
The fundamental humanist values of the Russian Revolution still capture the imagination. As an experience of history and a methodology for transforming the world into a community, the revolution's legacy has persisted far beyond the failed experiment of state socialism itself.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.

Abstract:
The sculptural environments I create immerse the viewer in a decrepit vaudevillian past. The sculptures allude to narratives within Community Theater as well as the Drag Show. Making becomes an act; manipulating materials such as synthetic hair and paint are associated with the guise of the makeup artist. Frantic rehearsal logic prevails as a dress is repurposed into a male giant's costume and window blinds are used to construct a boat's deck. This collusion asks the viewer to transgress the boundary of the stage, becoming a voyeur privileged to the world of exiled props and role reversal.

Yates, Benjamin. "One hundred years of band tradition at Luther College." Diss., University of Iowa, 2016. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/3226.

Full text
Abstract:
The Luther College Concert Band has enjoyed nearly 150 years of success. International tours, regional tours, concerts, service to the college and recording projects aided the success of this small college band that retained its Lutheran, liberal arts identity. Published documents exist about the Luther College band before 1948 but no comprehensive published documents are available after that time. This essay provides a more complete history of the band since 1948 based upon archival research and interviews with Weston Noble, Fredrick Nyline and Joan deAlbuquerque. The Concert Band started as a student led activity, which set it apart from other university bands of the late nineteenth century that had military connections. The Luther band eventually became an academic area of study and performed solely for campus concerts and on tours. The band took tours to Norway and Europe long before most college bands had touring programs. Later the band toured to Japan, China and Europe and continued regional tours throughout the United States. The Concert Band conductors, particularly the tenures of Carlo Sperati, Weston Noble, Frederick Nyline and Joan deAlbuquerque, helped shape the band program and music department at Luther College. This is a study of their educational philosophies that shaped the band, and the support the program received from the college administration, students and alumni. Also included is information about the Dorian Band Festival hosted by Luther College, works commissioned by the band, a review of works programed by conductors, a listing of recordings by the Luther College Concert Band and biographical information about each conductor.

Full text
Abstract:
The current study seeks not only to place into focus the general patterns of social and economic organization prevalent in Colombia in the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth (such political and economic organization has been ably illustrated by several authors), but also strives to elucidate the systems of thought or 'ideologies' to which such socio-economic and political structures gave rise. It is concerned with the thought-systems that influenced the development of the Colombian labor movement, those of actors external to organized labor and indigenous systems of thought of labor activists themselves. The hypothesis is that class and party-based interests channelled the early development of organized labor toward a path that would further, or failing that, not conflict with dominant elite interests. Artisans, proudly independent, exerted inordinate influence over the movement, hindering the development of working class consciousness. As the result of dominance by élites external to the labor movement itself, workers were never able to forge an independent voice that would allow them to define their own interests in society.

O estilo literário que ficou conhecido internacionalmente como Realismo Mágico tem na laureada obra de Gabriel García Márquez, Cem Anos de Solidão, uma de suas maiores inspirações. O Boom latino-americano, movimento que impulsionou o reconhecimento original da produção literária na América Latina nas décadas de 1960 e 1970 terminou por acender um debate em escala planetária em torno da existência de uma realidade mítica e mágica que ultrapassa as estreitas concepções de realidade do Ocidente. Junto a este reconhecimento, a visão em torno de Cem Anos de Solidão passou a ser associada a uma representação metafórica da cultura e história da Colômbia e América Latina. Esta dissertação pretende problematizar o vínculo imediatamente assumido entre o nacional e o inter-nacional através deste símbolo literário do século XX. Assim, buscar-se-á uma intercessão teórica entre literatura, modernidade e póscolonialidade. Através da enunciação de Gabriel García Márquez o objetivo será interpelar os valores normativos de autoridade e de significação que são ao mesmo tempo assumidas e produzidas pelas teorias de modernização e de resquícios eurocêntricos, mormente a epistemologia das Relações Internacionais. Para esta finalidade, a compreensão de uma espaçotemporalidade disjuntiva e de uma poética da solidão pretendem deslocar as fronteiras que separam a mágica do real.
The international literary genre better known as Magical Realism had on Gabriel García Márquez’s laureate book One Hundred Years of Solitude one of its major inspirations. The movement of Boom boosted the original recognition of Latin American’s authors during the 1960s and 1970s sparking a world-scale debate about the existence of whether or not a mythical or legendary reality goes beyond the strict reality of West. Aside this acknowledgment, the view around One Hundred Years of Solitude became affiliated to a metaphorical representation of Colombia and Latin American culture and history. This dissertation intends to question the link between nation and inter-national through this literary symbol of twentieth century. Therefore, an intersection will be made between literature, modernity and post-coloniality. With Gabriel García Márquez’s local utterances my aim is to question the normalized values of authority and signification easily assumed and simultaneously produced by modernization theory and Eurocentric remnants, mainly International Relations epistemology. To this purpose I take an out of joint account of time and space allied with a poetics of solitude to enable a displacement of the boundaries that split the magical and the real.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2009.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 103).
The realities of the built past and the palimpsest-ic nature of activities on the African mining landscape is under critique. On a site where nature gives way to the man-made activity of platinum ore excavation and mineral extraction, the activity of mining essentially creates infrastructures of dust and filthy landscapes. Inserting a new architecture within this obliterated savannah landscape allows for a process of reclamation to take place. This project uses an abandoned mine site in Southern Africa and focuses on the environmental mitigation and civic development of the site adjacent to the existing mining town of 40,000 inhabitants. The derelict mineshafts serve as infrastructure for a new civic space of scenic agrarian routes and programmed enclosures: auction floors, warehouses, residential short-stay rooms, water purification systems, mineral baths, crop rotational schemes, research labs and a museum space.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the coexistence of time in Gabriel Garcfa Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude as a cause of the supernatural events, the hereditary memory, and the solitude and to examine the effects of this mythical time frame on character development, plot, narrative structure, and theme. The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter introduces the parchments as creators of mythical time. The second, third, and fourth chapters investigate the effects of this unconventional time. Supernatural events, clairvoyance, and solitude are all examined as effects. The final chapter correlates the writing of the parchments with the writing of the novel and explains the effects of unconventional time on the reader. Thus, this thesis illustrates how the coexistence of time functions of two levels: the level of the parchments and the level of the novel.

Abstract:
"On a quest to read all of the existing Newbery award-winning books (est. 1921), a reading specialist examines the history of the books and the award itself. Considered the “most distinguished contribution to children’s literature,” the John Newbery gold medal, awarded by the American Library Association, is a high-water mark for upper elementary-aged children across the United States. The author’s two decades of teaching experience provide the analytical perspective and memoir-style investigation. Interviews with a book buyer for the Scholastic publisher, children’s librarians, former Newbery committee members, and a visit to the famed Kerlan Collection of Children’s Literature, frame the author’s adventure as he reads all the winners."--Provided by the author.

Full text
Abstract:
A systematic approach to tree planting and management globally is hindered by the limited synthesis of information sources on tree uses and species priorities. To help address this, the authors ‘mined’ information from 23 online global and regional databases to assemble a list of the most frequent tree species deemed useful for planting according to database mentions, with a focus on tropical regions. Using a simple vote count approach for ranking species, we obtained a shortlist of 100 trees mentioned in at least 10 of our data sources (the ‘top-100’ species). A longer list of 830 trees that were mentioned at least five times was also compiled. Our ‘top-100’ list indicated that the family Fabaceae (syn. Leguminosae) was most common. The information associated with our mined data sources indicated that the ‘top-100’ list consisted of a complementary group of species of differing uses. These included the following: for wood (mostly for timber) and fuel production, human nutrition, animal fodder supply, and environmental service provision (varied services). Of these uses, wood was most frequently specified, with fuel and food use also highly important. Many of the ‘top-100’ species were assigned multiple uses. The majority of the ‘top-100’ species had weediness characteristics according to ‘attribute’ invasiveness databases that were also reviewed, thereby demonstrating potential environmental concerns associated with tree planting that need to be balanced against environmental and livelihood benefits. Less than half of the ‘top-100’ species were included in the OECD Scheme for the Certification of Forest Reproductive Material, thus supporting a view that lack of germplasm access is a common concern for trees. A comparison of the ‘top-100’ species with regionally-defined tree inventories indicated their diverse continental origins, as would be anticipated from a global analysis. However, compared to baseline expectations, some geographic regions were better represented than others. Our analysis assists in priority-setting for research and serves as a guide to practical tree planting initiatives. We stress that this ‘top-100’ list does not necessarily represent tree priorities for the future, but provides a starting point for also addressing representation gaps. Indeed, our primary concern going forward is with the latter.
