A Glass Bead Sequence for South America Based on Collections from Brazil and Guyana
Get PDFGlass trade bead assemblages recovered during archaeological investigations at nine sites by Smithsonian archaeologists Betty Meggers and Clifford Evans in Brazil in 1948 and 1949 and Guyana in 1952 and 1953 date to multiple time periods, including the early 17th, mid-18th, mid-19th, and mid-20th centuries. The assemblages are used to show that the glass bead chronologies developed in North America are directly applicable to South America and that there is a global glass bead sequence related to European colonialism. White drawn glass beads were independently dated by comparison with known composition changes through time in how the glass was made opaque. Compositions were determined using pXRF
La articulación cinematográfica de la memoria en El edificio de los chilenos (2010) de Macarena Aguiló.
Get PDFEn el documental El edificio de los chilenos (2010), Macarena Aguiló plantea un trabajo de investigación emocional que le permita una reflexión sobre los mecanismos de la memoria y el olvido a través de las experiencias fragmentadas de los niños participantes en el proyecto Hogares. Creado por miembros del MIR (Movimiento de la Izquierda Revolucionaria) en el exilio, el proyecto Hogares fue concebido como un espacio utópico para criar a 60 niños mientras sus padres luchaban clandestinamente contra la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. Este artículo analiza la articulación cinematográfica de las memorias de dos generaciones, la de padres e hijos, y las contradicciones a la hora de articular una memoria colectiva como reconstrucción del pasado. A través de las cartografía de diferentes memorias, el documental cuestiona el acceso al pasado institucionalizado por una política nacional de la memoria que marginaliza las experiencias de la llamada generación de la “post-dictadura”. Sin embargo, Aguiló no concibe su documental como una mirada colectiva y generacional al pasado sino que El edificio de los chilenos nos plantea una dolorosa búsqueda de la identidad a través de la mirada infantil y de la ficcionlización de las experiencias de sus protagonistas. En este sentido, El edificio de los chilenos comparte con otros documentales Mi vida con Carlos (2009) de Germán Berger, El eco de las canciones (2010) de Antonia Rossi la articulación del olvido desde un relato autobiográfico infantil. A través de estas memorias estos documentales reivindican la participación social y ética que articule tanto el ámbito de lo político como el ámbito familiar e íntimo

Solitude and the Consent of Language: Marosa di Giorgio and Emily Dickinson.
Get PDF“Solitude and the Consent of Language: Marosa di Giorgio and Emily Dickinson,” examines how the Uruguayan, Marosa di Giorgio, draws from Emily Dickinson’s poetry to imagine the mind’s solitude as a recuperation of linguistic and signifying freedom within the acute context of imposed consent during the Uruguayan dictatorship. I suggest that the question at work within both poet’s oeuvre has to do with how poetic form might access the tension between what each understood as the mind’s solitude, that is, its individual interpretive processes, and the pulls of communal life, which include governmental, juridical, narrative and pedagogical systems, as they are negotiated through language. In addition to being an interdisciplinary analysis that brings together the fields of philosophy, U.S., and Latin American letters, this paper calls attention to two women writers who are rarely considered together within literary and cultural studies
Find Ways to Say Yes: How we Made our Library More Inclusive Through Removing Barriers to Membership
Get PDFCreating policies that are equitable and inclusive can often mean an iterative process of incremental changes that slowly evolve the culture of an organization. One example of this is the way that Driftwood Public Library, a medium-sized coastal library in Lincoln City, changed its library card policies to better serve members of the community experiencing homelessness or without a fixed address.
In 2013, Driftwood Public Library (DPL) began an initiative to look at our policies and procedures with fresh eyes, and modify those policies that were presenting significant barriers to individuals who wished to use the library. Library card policies quickly rose to the top. At the time, the library required official photo ID and proof of address to obtain a card, as well as the contact information for a third party who did not live with the applicant. The proof of address requirement was very stringent, requiring a lease or utility bill in the person’s name. It presented a great deal of difficulty for individuals who had recently moved to the city or who did not have any accounts in their own name. A scenario that library staff encountered more than once concerned adult children who had returned to Lincoln City to care for an ailing family member. Because they did not own or lease property in the area, were in town for an extended visit with an uncertain endpoint, and were usually staying with the family member, proving residency was a surprisingly difficult hurdle
