Identity, Familia, and Belonging: Librarians of Latino American Heritage and Professional Associations
No full textThe lack of diversity in the library and information science (LIS) field is a historical problem in a profession that strives to provide access to information for all. Many librarians of Latin American heritage are and have been members and/or leaders of the American Library Association (ALA). Some of them are also members of and participate actively in the National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking (REFORMA). The purpose of this case study is to understand how librarians of Latin American heritage (LLAH) experience a sense of belonging within librarianship based on their dual identity as REFORMA and ALA members. Through semi-structured interviews with eight LLAH who are members of and leaders in ALA and REFORMA and analysis of documents from both associations, we identified three main themes. LLAH are a diverse group, intersectional, from different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds with the common goal of serving Latino communities. In REFORMA, these diverse professionals balance their individual and social identities to find a community and a support system that helps the sense of belonging in a predominantly White profession. Findings from this study have implications for professional associations and their leaders who wish to make librarians who are Latine feel that they belong in LIS
By the Shallow Rivers of Babylon: Musical Mashups and the Sound of Lost Music in The Merry Wives of Windsor
No full textInThe Merry Wives of Windsor, there is a humorous sound-based musical moment in act 3, scene 1 that no longer resonates with contemporary audiences; the sounds evoked in the text and intended for performance on the stage have become obsolete. This article begins by investigating the original sounds and meanings of the sonic moment in the play, exploring what they would have sounded like and what they meant to an Elizabethan audience. It then turns to three twentieth- and twenty-first-century productions that have contended with this outdated sonic moment in funny, memorable, and very different ways, asking how new productions can harness new sounds to capture old meanings.Dans The Merry Wives of Windsor, l’acte 3, scène 1, contient un passage musico-sonore à caractère humoristique qui a perdu toute résonance auprès des spectateurs contemporains. Les sons évoqués dans le texte et destinés à être exécutés sur scène sont aujourd’hui obsolètes. Cet article analyse d’abord les sons originaux et les significations dont ils sont porteurs, en examinant la manière dont ils auraient été entendus et interprétés par un public élisabéthain. Il se penche ensuite sur trois productions du XXe et du XXIe siècle qui ont traité ce passage sonore désuet de manières amusantes, mémorables et tout à fait distinctes, afin de comprendre comment de nouvelles productions peuvent exploiter de nouveaux sons pour restituer d’anciennes significations

The Scientific Roots of Performance in Dante’s Writing
No full textThis essay reads the performative aspect of the human being as rooted in their physio-psychological structure. More specifically, it enlightens a connection between the inner balance of the individual—which, according to medieval science, depends on the medical notion of complexio—and a correct choice of behavior that leads to performance. Performance enters therefore into the relationship between medicine and ethics, as exemplified in medieval scientific literature as well as in Dante’s writing. This article re-reads performative moments across the Vita nuova and the Commedia (with particular reference to the Purgatorio) and uncovers the scientific roots of performance both at the diegetic level and in terms of authorship
Equity in evidence synthesis: The influence of race and ethnicity on participation in evidence synthesis
No full textThis research explored the impact of race and ethnicity on Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color (BIPOC) and their participation throughout the production of evidence synthesis in information science research. The study also analyzed the potential for evidence synthesis team reviewers to face pressure to modify their results based on their experiences and standing in their profession. A team of health sciences librarians and a full-time faculty member serving as director of a health sciences program at a university in the United States created a survey to better understand the possible effect of race and ethnicity on participation in evidence synthesis. The survey was sent to various online listservs and had quantitative and open-ended questions. There were 118 participants (n = 89 for white participants; n = 29 for BIPOC participants). There were significant associations between length in the profession and repercussions, repercussions and article evaluation career, not complementary and repercussions, not complementary and article evaluation and career, change score and article evaluation career, change score and repercussions, and change score and not complementary
