Translating the Year 1299: On Reading Hindi, Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic in English
Get PDFFollowing general reflections on the relations between global media,
local and oral history, this paper addresses the paradoxical constraints
imposed by language specialization, which focuses Western historians
on particular regions and languages at the expense of demotic and oral
cultures. Taking up the idea that translation is never an ideologically innocent
act, Stein addresses the ambiguous status of English in the Indian
context, both as the language of British imperial power, but also as a vehicle
for challenging and “writing back” against colonial discourse. To
illustrate the linguistic pitfalls that accompany research on South Asian
art, the paper investigates the relations between temple art, iconoclasm,
and the zinc smelting industry in Jawar, Rajasthan

People’s Grocery Garden and California Hotel murals created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE:Mural Arts class, Fall 2012
No full textIn fall of 2012 Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class created murals for the People’s Grocery Garden and the California Hotel. The class worked with the People’s Grocery, a social justice and food advocacy organization that established an urban farm in the food desert of West Oakland. The mural project was for the California Hotel, on San Pablo Ave in Oakland near Emeryville, owned by the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation, and where The People’s Grocery operated a community garden on the Chestnut Street side of the building. The historic hotel was under reconstruction. Students also helped to tend the farm and provided administrative support in order to better understand the role of the organization in the expansion of the urban food system. Remarkably students discovered a zoning ordinance that saved the newly planted West Oakland farm from imminent closure by the City.
The class created seven mural panels – five for the San Pablo Avenue side of the Hotel, that were temporarily mounted on plywood covered storefronts windows, and two for The People’s Grocery Garden at the back of the building. The murals celebrate urban farming, reclaiming nature, community connection, and the musical roots of the California Hotel. The spiritual connection with nature, the resilience of plants, and the relationship with food animals, were also expressed. The project was supported by graduate teaching assistant Regina Acebo

601 City Center construction barrier murals created by students of Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class, Spring 2012
No full textIn spring of 2012 Eduardo Pineda's ENGAGE: Mural Arts class began work on a three year project which created murals for the barrier fence surrounding the 601 City Center construction site in downtown Oakkland (bounded by 11th and 12th Streets, Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr. Streets) for Shorenstein Properties LLC. This was part of ENGAGE@CCA, a community-engagement program of CCA’s Center for Art and Public Life.
In this first year, the class worked with residents of the Harrison Hotel to express important aspects of community – sense of place, nurturing support, and self-empowerment. The hotel was a residency program that transitioned people from homelessness to homefulness, and was a five-minute walk from the site. Six murals were produced for 12th Street side of the site. Students used residents’ personal stories as metaphors, weaving together urban architecture, landscape, and language in order to connect with the greater Oakland community. Interspersed between the murals were text panels with quotes, from residents, about what community meant to them. To build trust, and understand the residents better, students volunteered at the Hotel in service programs provided by LifeLong Medical Care, a health services provider in the affordable living building provided by Resources for Community Development.
In total, three Mural Arts classes worked to develop a vibrant temporary visual environment in downtown Oakland during the period of the Great Recession of the late 2000s, when construction of the 601 City Center office tower was halted, and the site was left unbuilt. The murals were painted on panels and were rearranged once, when construction was restarted, in order to accommodate the changing configuration of the barrier fencing. The building was completed and opened in 2019, and the murals were destroyed
