Reading Between Bodies: Visual Media Literacy and Gender in Early Twentieth Century Newspaper Advertising
No full textTo support practices in growing visual media literacy skills, one possible research strategy is to employ critical theory to contextualize print advertising over time that is intended to reinforce a cultural ideal. This research uses tools of visual analysis and contextualization to interrogate message presentation practices across historic news sources, specifically advertisements, with the goal of understanding gender stereotypes in early 20th-century news advertisements. This research is a case study that demonstrates strategies that could be employed in other research contexts, including the university classroom environment
"Nada nukuthdam", Firekeepers Initiative: Decolonizing Academic Library Collections through Community-based Participatory Archive-building
No full textThis paper articulates the decolonial theories and principles that underlie the library and archives information praxis within an Indigenous-led academic center located within a major research university. The Firekeepers Initiative to develop community-based archives in collaboration with Tribal Nations in Arizona, utilizes participatory and relational methods, CARE principles, and the Protocols for Native American Archival Materials. This initiative employs Community-Driven Archives methods set forth by Godoy (2021) and seeks to decolonize higher education through Indigenous librarianship and reparative archival practice. Authors stress the importance of mindful place-making in academic libraries to elevate Indigenous voices within what are typically Western Colonial information spaces. Challenges include navigating organizational hierarchies within the academy to advocate and coordinate services and programs for Indigenous students, faculty, and their communities
Open Heritage? A Musical Case Study
No full textWhile Open Access is now common sense for the academic library community – which by no means leaves us without unsolved issues – this discussion may have seemed less crucial in the research libraries field. Various features may explain such a discrepancy, which notably include a different legal environment as far as original unpublished material is concerned. This paper will go further in illustrating the “exotic” nature of OA in the heritage libraries universe, analyzing the constraints and projects of a specialized entity in a large national library: the Music department of Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF). Such a case study is especially illuminating on the OA discussion placed in a broader context, insofar as music – defined here primarily as written music – is tailored on a pattern that differs starkly from the one fitting printed books/journals, since its business model is based on collecting revenue streams of public performances and broadcasting. This drives usage practices in the reading room as well as rules applying to digitization and more generally the dissemination of content. On the other hand, such a constrained legal environment may seem at odds with the core missions of a national institution like BnF as an educating body servicing both professionals and specialists, but also outreaching to all types of publics. At the end of the day, far from the maddening crowd of specialized OA consortia, we’ll investigate here what is at stake for a music curator in charge of collecting archives; preserving musical manuscripts; acting as a facilitator to the research community; exhibiting rare items; or lecturing on unique scored masterworks – when he or she tries to translate the OA philosophy while abiding to strict laws et making sure original documents are with us forever. Furthermore, we may ask how such a delicate balance between fairness of access and seal of eternity may evolve in a remote access oriented, sustainability conscious, and IA driven environment. This, we will discover, may not be music to all ears, but could ring a bell to librarians wishing to stay in tune with various practices across the profession
