A mini-archive of excerpts from published UWA Arts academics' works. Take a look at these essay-fragments to see how different scholars describe their argument.
History seeks to study and explain significant past events using currently existing evidence. Studying history allows us to understand what happened, develop a sense of identity, defend against propaganda, enrich our understanding of human nature, and understand the context of art and music to make meaning of the present. Historians use primary sources as the foundation of evidence and consider how context, cultural paradigms, language, and selection and confirmation biases may influence interpretations of the past. Different theories of history emphasize the role of great individuals, economic factors, social perspectives like feminism, material conditions according to Marxism, the environment, or psychological motivations.
This document contains 10 endorsements for the book "Working the Night Shift: Women in India’s Call Center Industry" by Reena Patel. The endorsements praise the book for providing a fascinating look into the lives of women working in India's call center industry and making visible the dreams, lives, and desires of these often overlooked workers. The book is described as accessible, personal, and providing a complex understanding of how the call center industry affects the lives of its female employees. It is recommended as a key text for social scientists and students interested in topics like globalization, gender studies, and the impacts of outsourcing.
Feminism challenges traditional political science in both its methodological and conceptual assumptions. While some see feminism as revolutionary and able to fundamentally shake political science, others see it as mere ideology without intellectual importance. In reality, neither feminism nor political science offers a single coherent perspective, but both can learn from each other. Feminism directly challenges who does political science, how the field is structured and funded. It also questions traditional research methods and assumptions. More importantly, feminism challenges how politics itself is conceptualized.
ARGEC: Reminiscence therapy for older adultskwatkins13
This document describes reminiscence therapy for older adults. It discusses how reminiscence involves recalling past experiences and can help integrate one's history. Benefits include improved communication, social interaction, and self-worth. Evidence shows it can help with depression and cognitive functioning for those with dementia. The document provides an example case of a student who created a reminiscence group for older men at a community center focused on memories and artifacts related to the center's former train station. The group was well-attended and facilitated sharing of personal stories and relationships.

Julie, a social work student, created a reminiscence group for older men at her internship site, the Athens Community Council on Aging. She noticed the men participated less in activities than women. Her research found men prefer goal-oriented programs. She structured weekly sessions around the historical train depot's topic. The men enjoyed sharing memories and mementos related to the weekly topics. Their stories deepened relationships by sharing personal experiences taking trains during times like World War II and segregation.

This document summarizes an ongoing research project studying labor migrant discontent in Russia. The project aims to study discontent sociologically by (1) defining it as a shared, long-term emotion determined by structural conditions and social interaction, and (2) developing methods to measure it. Field research involved interviews and surveys with migrants in several Russian cities. Preliminary findings identified three potential sources of discontent: poor working conditions, interactions with authorities, and behavior of local communities. The researchers aim to further examine how discontent emerges from collective emotions and is sustained over time through social networks. Key challenges discussed are defining and measuring discontent as a sociological concept.

This document discusses China's shifting demographic prospects in a global context of population aging. Globally, population aging is occurring as mortality rates decline while fertility rates fall below replacement level. By 2050, over half the world will live in countries with below replacement fertility and life expectancy will rise significantly. China faces rapid aging due to its one child policy lowering fertility rates. By 2050, more of the world's population will be over 60 than under 15, with China being a major contributor to this trend. However, population aging receives less attention than issues like technology and innovation.
This document provides an overview of the course HISTORIOGRAPHY, which examines different approaches to writing history. It covers several topics, including understanding history, pre-modern historiographical traditions from early India, China, Greece/Rome, and the medieval period. It also examines modern approaches like the Annales School, Marxist traditions, and postmodernism. Specific themes in Indian historiography are also addressed, such as the Cambridge School, subaltern studies, and histories of caste, tribe, gender, and the peasantry. The reading list suggests texts on historiography from ancient to modern times, as well as a 20th century overview of the field.
Reconstructing Historicism is a literary theory that interprets literature through the historical context of both the author and the critic. It was introduced by Stephen Greenblatt in 1980 to study literature within the context of non-literary texts from the same time period. The theory emphasizes understanding power structures of the society surrounding a text in order to interpret it. New Historicism is related to cultural studies and emphasizes that individual experience is culturally specific rather than universal.
This document provides an overview of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism critical theories. It defines New Historicism as examining literature within its historical context through parallel readings of literary and non-literary texts from the same time period. Cultural Materialism studies the implications of literary texts in history and takes a materialist approach, seeing culture as the object of study rather than just literature. The document outlines the key influences, characteristics, differences and examples of applying these theories to texts like Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Othello.
The Women, Gender and Development Reader [P.D.F]desedito
The Women, Gender and Development Reader II is a 472-page book edited by Nalini Visvanathan that is now in its fully revised second edition. It presents the impacts of social, political, and economic change on women through reviewing issues like migration, discrimination, recession, and climate change. The book takes a multidisciplinary perspective and illustrates theoretical debates with global case studies. It is divided into five parts from leading experts and is intended as a comprehensive reference for those interested in women's role in development.
New Historicism is a method that reads literary and non-literary texts from the same historical period together. It was coined by Stephen Greenblatt in 1980 and was influenced by Michel Foucault's theory. Unlike old historicism, new historicism gives equal weight to literary and non-literary texts and sees them as constantly informing each other. It places literary texts in the context of historical documents from the same time period rather than seeing history as a background to literature.
This document summarizes the state of accounting histories focused on women since 1992. It finds that while feminist history has transformed the wider discipline of history, producing substantial research and impacting modes of explanation, the momentum is less evident in accounting history. The document reviews publications since 1992 and finds that only a small percentage (around 2.5%) focused on women or gender, and few took a explicitly feminist approach. It argues that the field remains mostly in the "recovery" phase of documenting women's histories, and has not engaged sufficiently with developments in feminist historiography that could regenerate the sub-field.
The document discusses several social science disciplines. It provides information on the fields of study and research methods for anthropology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, sociology, and demography. The disciplines cover topics like culture, language, human evolution, spatial relationships between people and environments, systems of governance, behavior, and social groups. Common research methods include ethnography, case studies, surveys, interviews, and data analysis techniques.
The document summarizes a band called Hose House Historians, which consists of four members - Fire Blaze, Hose House Hound, Fire Marshal, and Chief Lundy. It then provides context about the Billy Joel song "We Didn't Start the Fire", including its album and release year. Finally, it discusses the literary criticism of historicism, outlining its purpose of showing historical context, goals of portraying social and cultural beliefs through history, and how it can be recognized in works through references to important historical events and figures.
paper no-8 cultural study "new historicism jinalparmar
This document provides an overview of five types of cultural studies: New Historicism, Postmodernism and Popular Culture, and Postcolonial Studies. It defines each approach and provides some key details about each. New Historicism examines cultural works within their historical context and aims to understand history through literature. Postmodernism departs from modernism in arts and includes concepts like deconstruction. Popular culture refers to everyday cultural phenomena and can be analyzed through production, textual, audience, and historical lenses. Postcolonial studies analyzes the legacies of colonialism and imperialism, referring to the period when former colonies gained independence. It discusses thinkers like Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Homi Bhabha, and Franz
The document provides instruction on researching the topic "New Historicism Research paper using Classical Literature" for a class, including how to find relevant sources through the library website and databases rather than Google or Wikipedia, how to create an annotated bibliography in Word, and the importance of citing sources to avoid plagiarism. It also gives an example of an annotated bibliography entry in MLA format and contact information for the professor, Nicholas Jackson, for any additional research assistance needs.
New Historicism A Historical Aanalysis of LiteratureKaushal Desai
New Historicism acknowledges that any criticism of a work is influenced by the critic's own background and beliefs. New Historicists examine both the text and their own perspectives. This approach considers elements outside the text, unlike New Criticism which focuses only on analyzing the text itself. New Historicism emerged in response to New Criticism's failure to account for the social and historical context that influenced literary works. It uses techniques from history and anthropology to provide thick descriptions of texts and elucidate them within their broader cultural context.
1. The document discusses New Historicism, a literary theory that emerged in the 1980s in response to New Criticism.
2. New Historicism views history as a narrative shaped by subjective biases rather than objective facts, and believes literary texts should be understood within their social and cultural contexts rather than in isolation.
3. Prominent figures associated with New Historicism mentioned include Stephen Greenblatt and Hippolyte Adolphe Taine. New Historicism tends to examine popular works and marginalized groups to uncover neglected historical voices.
This document provides an overview of New Historicism literary theory. It began in the 1980s, influenced by poststructuralism and reader response theory. New Historicism views history as social science and literature as not separate from historical context. It analyzes texts through their historical context and understands culture/intellectual history through literature. Theorists discussed include Jerome McGann, Paul Strohm, Lee Patterson, and Clifford Geertz. Patterson's analysis of the Wife of Bath explores how Chaucer portrayed her social class, titles, marriages, and property ownership in relation to history.
The current issue of Urdhva Mula highlights some of the major
concerns of the Women's Studies movement namely, the location of feminist scholarship within the knowledge economy and the location
of Women's Rights in the overarching concern for human rights. This is of particular importance given that human rights in general and women’s rights in particular are under attack from governmental and political structures, not only in India but globally. Resistance to this
stance finds articulation through a number of broad-based and popular movements like the One Billion Rising, the MeToo movement, the open discourse around LGBTQAI and alternate sexualities, and women from the marginalised sections, such as farmers’ widows in
India, teachers in the US, industrial women workers in Latin American countries. In this bleak scenario the only ray of hope is the solidarity being established across diverse marginalities.
Maithreyi Krishnaraj’s thought-provoking article on feminist research
interrogates the way in which various theoretical strands of feminisms
influence feminist research analysis.
Sujata Bhan’s use of the disability rights discourse and pedagogy with regard to inclusive education and knowledge construction is nuanced with a constructivist approach that is informed by feminist scholarship.
Angst over a related concern finds expression in the open letter to

and cultural status of Devadasis in Karnataka, Ms. Lavanya brings to

labour of women. She also critiques the limitations of the
‘rehabilitation package’ offered by the state.
The next three articles examine the exploitation and oppression of
working-class women. In an insightful article on the implications of
economic globalisation, Ruby Ojha shows the impact of
macroeconomic policies on women in both sunrise and sunset
industries and all sectors of the Indian economy. Ceena Paul depicts the measures taken by the trade union movement for empowerment of women in both organised and unorganized/ informal sectors. Nandita Mondal highlights the survival struggles of fisherwomen in Mumbai especially in the context of the entry and dominance of big players in the fishing industry. The same theme is echoed in the Book review by
Dhruv Mankad of Aarti Prasad's book based on her research on much neglected theme of socioeconomic status on nurses in the health care industry.
This document provides an overview of cultural studies. It defines cultural studies as a field that analyzes culture and its relationship to power structures through a theoretical and political lens. It examines how cultural practices relate to issues like class, gender, and globalization. The document also discusses some key concepts in cultural studies, like its use of the concept of "text" to analyze various cultural artifacts, and its focus on everyday cultural sites. It lists some characteristics of cultural studies, such as its aim to understand culture in context and reconcile divisions of knowledge.
Kristy Parhiala is an undergraduate senior studying political science at the University of New Hampshire. She has had experiences in China since elementary school through her father's business trips and her own study abroad opportunities in high school and college. Her research focuses on the "China model" of political and economic development and why it is being pushed as an alternative model to Western democracy. She plans to analyze how widely the China model has been considered and adopted internationally through case studies of its perception and seriousness of consideration in different countries. Her research will also examine China's strengths and weaknesses, as well as future concerns regarding the China model.
Dimensionalizing cultures the hofstede model in contextThanh Thanh
This document summarizes Geert Hofstede's model of cultural dimensions and how it was developed based on prior conceptual work. It discusses how earlier researchers proposed dimensions to classify cultures but had weaknesses in clearly defining levels of analysis. Hofstede's model improved on this by focusing only on national cultures and empirically identifying dimensions. It describes some of the dimensions proposed by earlier researchers that influenced Hofstede, such as individualism-collectivism and power distance. Hofstede's study validated three dimensions identified in an earlier review as being consistently identified in studies of national character: relation to authority, conception of self, and ways of dealing with primary dilemmas.
Dimensionalizing Cultures_ The Hofstede Model in Context.pdfssusercbd35c
This document discusses Geert Hofstede's model of six dimensions of national culture:
1) Power Distance 2) Uncertainty Avoidance 3) Individualism vs Collectivism 4) Masculinity vs Femininity
5) Long Term vs Short Term Orientation 6) Indulgence vs Restraint. It describes how Hofstede developed these dimensions through factor analysis of a large IBM employee survey across many countries. The dimensions empirically validated conceptual frameworks from prior researchers on standard issues across cultures. The dimensions are enduring aspects that cultures vary along and that correlate with other cultural measures.

This document discusses Geert Hofstede's model of six dimensions of national culture: Power Distance, Uncertainty Avoidance, Individualism/Collectivism, Masculinity/Femininity, Long/Short Term Orientation, and Indulgence/Restraint. It describes how the model was developed based on factor analysis of a large IBM employee survey across over 50 countries. The dimensions identified common problems faced by employees in different societies. The model has been validated through correlations with over 400 other cross-cultural studies and remains relevant for describing enduring differences between national cultures.
This document summarizes Spencer Ruelos' anthropology capstone paper which examines theories of transnationalism within queer anthropology regarding the globalization of queer identities. It begins by contextualizing the terms "transnationalism" and "globalization" and then summarizes Dennis Altman's theory that Western gay and lesbian subcultures have spread globally through processes like consumerism and mass media. However, the document argues that Altman's theory fails to account for local contexts and reproduces problematic binaries. It discusses theories of "glocalization" and "hybridization" which argue that queer identities globally are negotiated hybrids of both local and global influences, not simply imports of Western identities.

Grassroots Leadership Reconceptualized:
Chicana Oral Histories and the 1968
East Los Angeles School Blowouts
The 1960s was an era of social unrest in American history. Student movements
that helped shape larger struggles for social and political equality emerged from
street politics and mass protests. A myriad of literature discusses the social and
political forces of the 1960s, particularly the liberal and radical student move-
ments. Yet, as Carlos Mufioz, Jr., argues, there is a paucity of material on 1960s
nonwhite student radicalism and protest.' He outlines various explanations that
have been provided by white scholars for their failure to incorporate nonwhite
student radicalism into their work: that the black student movement was not
radical enough and that Mexican students were simply not involved in the struggles
of the sixties. However, though Mufioz points to the omission of working-class
people of color in the literature on 1960s student movements, he neglects to
include a serious analysis of gender in his own examination of the Chi ...
This document is an introduction to a journal issue focusing on cultural studies of psychiatry. It provides a summary of cultural studies and its goal of critiquing how political and cultural forces operate through representations to naturalize social relations. It explains how cultural studies analyzes the "maps of social reality" embedded in cultural productions to expand possibilities for interpretation. The introduction then defines the scope of "cultural studies of psychiatry" and previews several articles in the issue that apply cultural analysis to phenomena commonly medicalized, such as premenstrual disorder and the rise of Ritalin prescriptions.

Due April 16, 2020
The final research paper for this class is your opportunity to tie together you years here at FIU as an international relations student with what has been covered in this course. The topic is up to you to decide. A good topic will engage the course literature and lectures. A good method for devising a research topic will be to reflect on areas of knowledge you have built up while at FIU and begin to re-examine those topics through the fundamental literature we have covered in this course. In order to avoid restricting your creativity, the final paper will not have a page limit. You will be expected to fully engage your topic, research question, and address all the issues in that area of international relations. You can choose your own topic about an historical or current event or person as seen from the perspective of a philosopher. For example, what would Plato have said about the election of President Trump? How would Arendt have understood the popular hysteria leading to the Rwandan Genocide?
This paper and the final should be formatted to be double-spaced, 1 inch margin, and 12 font.
You will locate 4-6 sources that are important for understanding your topic and following the citation of your chosen source there will be 1-3 sentences explaining how/why this source will support your topic. Only peer reviewed journals and/or university press books are acceptable. Some popular journals like Newsweek or the Economist could be used. You must also include one class reading in your annotated bibliography.
ASIAN POLITICAL THOUGHT
TIMOTHY J. LOMPERIS
Saint Louis University
S cholars of Westem political thought have .not dis-puted the fact that there is a rich body of political thought in Asia. They lmve just not bothered to
incorporate it into their corpus. This chapter seeks to pro-
vide long-overdue recognition to this body of thought by
calling attention to the fact that despite its heavy religious
content (until modern times), the encounter with political
ideas in Asia is just as profound as it is in the West. In fact,
since these ideas in Asia are heavily fertilized by their
Western colonial legacy, the West has much to learn about
itself from these Asian borders to the West's material and
intellectual reach.
In this presentation of Asian political thought, what will
emerge is that the such central ideas as democracy,ji-eedom,
and equality were forn1ed in a historical context different
from the West. In the West, these ideas were expressed and
then refined through a prism of small city-states in Greece,
the universal empire of Rome, the subsequent collapse of this
imperium politically but its persistence intellectually in the
Thomist medieval synthesis, the smashing fem1ent (both
intellectually and institutionally) of the Renaissance and the
Reformation, and the birth of the modern nation-state in
the twin crucibles of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and
the French Revolution (1789-1795). ...

Mensur Boydaş: Vahdi Boydaş: Gender and nation chapter 1Mensur Boydaş
This document provides an overview and introduction to the book "Gender & Nation" by Nira Yuval-Davis. The summary is:
1) The book examines how gender relations intersect with and affect national projects and processes, focusing on the positions of women as well as constructions of femininity and masculinity within nationalist discourses.
2) Most theories of nationalism have ignored gender relations, but women are crucial to the biological, cultural, and symbolic reproduction of nations.
3) The book analyzes the gendering of national reproduction, culture, citizenship, military/war, and the relationship between feminism and nationalism. It argues for a transversal feminist politics that accounts for national and other differences among women
Evaluating standard social sciences encyclopedias using the transgender const...robinfilipczak
The document summarizes how the understanding of transgender as a concept has evolved over 40 years through analyzing its treatment in three social science encyclopedias from 1968, 2001, and 2008. It discusses how the 1968 encyclopedia had no reference to transgender or gender, reflecting a lack of scholarship at the time. The 2001 encyclopedia included entries on transgender and gender identity disorder that focused on debates around non-binary gender but still pathologized transgender. The 2008 encyclopedia recognized critical gender theories and situated transgender as fluid and culturally variable.
Race, ethnicity and nation international perspectives on social conflictyoonshweyee
an international and comparative analysis of social division rooted in race, ethnicity and national identity. It provides an overview of the key issues underlying ethnic conflict which has now risen to the top of the international political agenda.
This document summarizes debates within queer anthropology around theories of transnationalism and globalization's influence on non-Western queer identities and practices. It discusses Dennis Altman's theory that Western gay and lesbian identities have spread globally through processes like mass media. While some scholars agree Western influences exist, many argue Altman overlooks local complexities and hybrid identities formed through negotiating global and local discourses. The document examines scholarship showing same-sex identities in places like China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Suriname hybridize Western and local understandings of gender, sexuality, and family. It argues terms like "gay" must be situated in specific cultural contexts to avoid essentialism.

These values are interrelated and guide behavior. The impact of social change on perceptions of the marriage institution in the novels is then examined in more detail.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Victoria Rogers School of Music Manifestations of both Indian and Western musical practices will be identified, and the article proceeds to discuss two key issues that emerge from the analysis: the extent to which Glanville-Hicks succeeded in synthesising the two musical systems; and whether Indian music can be accommodated within a Western musical framework without infringing upon its intrinsic meaning. The article concludes by exploring the cultural assumptions that underpinned Glanville-Hicks’s appropriation of Indian music, placing her approach in the context of two hundred years of similar endeavours in Western music and drawing upon Edward Said’s definitive theory of Orientalism. “ East Meets West in Peggy Glanville-Hicks's 'The Transposed Heads’.” Context: Journal of Music Research 27/28 (2004): 51-70.

6. Bonnie Thomas French Studies Is this development in the literature by female writers the product of wishful thinking or does it reflect a more complex set of phenomena rooted in external influence and the evolving local dynamics of gender relations? It would take a series of anthropological studies to answer this question, but by examining more closely the work of one rising star of this new generation of writers, one can draw some preliminary conclusions about social change in the Caribbean. Gisèle Pineau focuses on this transition in her works, especially in La Grande Drive des esprits. An analysis of this work will provide insights into the complex nature of these changes.

8. Susan Broomhall History This essay explores what we can learn about the household limitation behaviour and strategies of those members of sixteenth-century French society who numbered among the mass of the poor. In particular, it focuses on the evidence produced by urban poor relief councils and hospitals, as they recorded the circumstances of the poverty-stricken clientele for their administrative records, and presents some preliminary findings. Although contraceptive methods do not feature explicitly in petitions and supporting documents, it is possible to build up a modest picture from these sources of the kinds of household limitation techniques available to the urban poor. As this essay demonstrates, in some cases, these involved reproductive strategies, yet in other cases it may be more appropriate to speak of household limitation methods. “ Family and household limitation strategies among the sixteenth-century urban poor.” French History 20.2 (2006): 121-37.
9. Martin Forsey Anthropology & Sociology In order that the social drama model gains more explanatory power it needs a means of demonstrating how these responses are shaped by the cultural and structural forces that swirl around people every moment of their lives, a task for which I will argue practice theory is well suited. For now, I continue setting the scene for this exploration of Turner’s dramaturgical model by considering the broader geographical, political and social realities influencing the events I witnessed at Ravina High. “ Producing Cosmos? The Explanatory Power of Social Drama for School Reform.” Ethnography and Education 1.3 (2006): 285-300.

11. Roderic Pitty Political Science and International Relations Because a volume of documents on the subject has been published, the facts are not in dispute, although some particular issues concerning how much Cabinet discussed the question of China policy in February 1971 remain unclear, at least to non-participants. Nevertheless, since Australian policy, as distinct from rhetoric or rationalisations, was essentially unchanged during 1970-72 at a time when US policy towards China was completely reformulated, it is not Australian decisions that have to be explained, but rather non-decisions, or persistent procrastination in the face of a transformed world. Explaining such conduct might tell us about more than just this particular diplomatic bungle, so an attempt will be made to explore the wider issues outlined above. “ Way Behind in Following the USA over China: The Lack of any Liberal Tradition in Australian Foreign Policy 1970-1972.” Australian Journal of Politics and History 51.3 (2005): 440-450.
