Confuse the Issues: Art, Text, and Identity
Get PDFConfuse the Issues: Art, Text, and Identity features text-based works by prominent contemporary artists of color who demonstrate the power of language. Not only are the words central to the compositions of each photograph, sculpture, and print, but they also provide expressions of identity, reflections on history, and calls to action. In reading both the linguistic and aesthetic narratives in the works on display, a viewer encounters stories that are at once critical and inclusive, verbal and visual, personal and political. The artists use assertive poetry, dynamic admonitions, and a clear naming of victims of police violence to question white privilege and incite change. The exchange of words in this exhibition may confuse the issues; nevertheless, the art speaks and demands that voices are heard.https://cupola.gettysburg.edu/artcatalogs/1042/thumbnail.jp
Ventanas Abiertas I
No full textThis book is the first in our introductory sequence of the Spanish language. We designed it to accompany our Spanish 101 course at Gettysburg College. In it you will find sections on vocabulary, grammar, and culture, all with helpful links and videos to enhance student learning. Each chapter provides an introductory statement on its specific learning objectives as well as links to the individual lessons. In turn, at the end of each lesson there are communicative activities to work on in the classroom.
A pdf download is available in The Cupola; you can also access the book directly at https://edtechbooks.org/ventanashttps://cupola.gettysburg.edu/oer/1013/thumbnail.jp
París, final de fiesta, en Los trasplantados (1904) de Alberto Blest Gana
No full textLos Trasplantados (1904) de Alberto Blest Gana aborda las peripecias de una familia hispanoamericana que, en Francia, acaba sacrificando a una de sus hijas al querer ligarse, vía matrimonial, con la aristocracia europea. El emprendedor arribismo del patriarca de la familia, que ascendió al integrarse a la elite provincial de su país de origen, colapsa en París. El viaje de la familia Canalejas da paso a una residencia de años y a un relato moralizante sobre el naufragio social, ético y cultural de quienes no solo van a gozar Europa, sino a integrarse a la ciudad que han imaginado desde América Latina a fines del siglo XIX. Los hijos acaban naufragando entre mundos, sin entender ninguno de ellos.
Alberto Blest Gana’s Los Trasplantados (1904) narrates the saga of a Hispanic American family that, in France, ends up sacrificing sacrifice one of their daughters by way of marriage to access a decadent aristocratic figure. The family patriarch’s entrepreneurial vocation, the same that allowed him to rose into the social ranks of the provincial elite in his country of origin, collapses in Paris. The Canalejas’ initial journey gives way to a two years residence over a moralizing narrative about the social, ethical and cultural wreckage endured by those who not only aspire to enjoy Europe but to sacrifice everything to feel fully integrated into a city imagined from Latin America. Above all, the children are worse off, losing their places in both worlds and unable to understand either
Ca2+ Entry Units in a Superfast Fish Muscle
Get PDFOver the past two decades, mounting evidence has demonstrated that a mechanism known as store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) plays a crucial role in sustaining skeletal muscle contractility by facilitating Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space during sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ depletion. We recently demonstrated that, in exercised fast-twitch muscle from mice, the incidence of Ca2+ entry units (CEUs), newly described intracellular junctions between dead-end longitudinal transverse tubular (T-tubule) extensions and stacks of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) flat cisternae, strictly correlate with both the capability of fibers to maintain contractions during fatigue and enhanced Ca2+ influx via SOCE. Here, we tested the broader relevance of this result across vertebrates by searching for the presence of CEUs in the vocal muscles of a teleost fish adapted for extended, high-frequency activity. Specifically, we examined active vs. inactive superfast sonic muscles of plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus). Interestingly, muscles from actively humming territorial males had a much higher incidence of CEU SR stacks relative to territorial males that were not actively vocalizing, strengthening the concept that assembly of these structures is dynamic and use-dependent, as recently described in exercised muscles from mice. Our results support the hypothesis that CEUs represent a conserved mechanism, across vertebrates, for enabling high levels of repetitive muscle activity, and also provide new insights into the adaptive mechanisms underlying the unique properties of superfast midshipman sonic muscles
