No full textThis project is an Independent Study of Dance and movement creation with original choreography. The movement is influenced by a musical polyrhythm called the hemiola, a beat of 2 opposed against 3, which is present in both pieces of music included in the project and includes motifs of shifts and changes, as represented by the variety of filming location
Mental Health and Fieldwork
No full textResearchers discuss the logistics of successful fieldwork but not the mental health considerations that fieldwork and the research process introduce. Successful fieldwork and fruitful academic careers hinge on acknowledging and managing our mental health. We discuss peer-support networks, secondary trauma, coping skills, therapy, and researchers’ mental health options before, during, and after fieldwork
Passion at Work: A Meta-Analysis of Individual Work Outcomes
Get PDFAcademic research on passion is much more complex than the extant literature or popular press portray. Although research on work-related passion has progressed rapidly over the last decade, much remains unknown. We are now just beginning to recognize the different theoretical underpinnings and empirical operationalizations that work passion research has adopted, and the confusion this has generated hampers our understanding of the construct and its relationship to workplace outcomes. Accordingly, we use a meta-analytic examination to study the work-related outcomes of three dominant literature streams of work passion: general passion, dualistic passion (i.e., harmonious passion and obsessive passion), and role-based passion (i.e., passion for developing, passion for founding, and passion for inventing). We employ meta-analytic techniques using random effects modeling summarizing 106 distinct samples across 87 manuscripts totaling 384 effect sizes (total unique N = 38,481; 43.54% women, average age is 38.04). Importantly, we highlight how each of the three streams of passion relates to various outcomes differently, illuminate several important heretofore undetected nuances in passion research, and provide a roadmap for future inquiry on passion at work
Ancient mitogenomes show plateau populations from last 5200 years partially contributed to present-day Tibetans
No full textThe clarification of the genetic origins of present-day Tibetans requires an understanding of their past relationships with the ancient populations of the Tibetan Plateau. Here we successfully sequenced 67 complete mitochondrial DNA genomes of 5200 to 300-year-old humans from the plateau. Apart from identifying two ancient plateau lineages (haplogroups D4j1b and M9a1a1c1b1a) that suggest some ancestors of Tibetans came from low-altitude areas 4750 to 2775 years ago and that some were involved in an expansion of people moving between high-altitude areas 2125 to 1100 years ago, we found limited evidence of recent matrilineal continuity on the plateau. Furthermore, deep learning of the ancient data incorporated into simulation models with an accuracy of 97% supports that present-day Tibetan matrilineal ancestry received partial contribution rather than complete continuity from the plateau populations of the last 5200 years
A Guide to Working with the Harvard Project on the Soviet Social System Online
No full textThe Harvard Project on the Soviet Social System Online (HPSSS Online) is a database of 707 interview transcripts conducted with Soviet refugees during the early years of the Cold War. A unique online resource for the study of the USSR from 1917 through the late 1940s, it contains vast amounts of one-of-a-kind data on Soviet political, economic, social, cultural and military history. Compiled in English and organized according to a rigorous social science framework, the HPSSS Online offers unparalleled depth and breadth in its wide- ranging inquiry into Soviet society.
Originally a component of a larger study commissioned by the US Air Force, the 1950- 1951 transcripts of the HPSSS interviews were the focus of intensive research for much of the 1950s. In the years since, access limitations and poor indexing have hampered scholarly use of this material. Age-related degradation of the transcripts themselves has complicated things further. It is for this reason that between 2005 and 2007, the HPSSS Online was created, thanks to funding from Harvard University’s Library Digital Initiative (LDI). In consultation with Professors Terry Martin and David Brandenberger, as well as the staff of the Fung Library and the Slavic Division of Widener Library, specialists at the Preservation and Imaging Department of Widener Library processed and digitized all the HPSSS interview transcripts and manuals and incorporated them into the present web-based resource. In addition to providing digital images of the original transcripts, the HPSSS Online offers full-text versions of the interview transcripts within a fully searchable database, revolutionizing the usefulness of this collection for researchers worldwide.
The HPSSS Online database is designed to be navigated in a variety of intuitive ways. It is possible to locate specific interviews and page sequentially through them; it is also possible to conduct thematic and keyword searches both within specific interviews and throughout the entire database as a whole. This guide provides an introduction to this online resource and supplies important information about its historical origins and methodological limitations
O sucesso do inacabado: Clarice Lispector e sua “Children’s Corner” na revista Senhor
No full textIn 1959, when the sophisticated magazine Senhor was launched in Rio de Janeiro, the renowned writer Clarice Lispector was invited to join this new publishing venture targeted at educated upper-class men. As a separated woman in need of an income to support herself and her two children, Lispector accepted the offer, regularly contributing with chronicles/stories, and starting at the end of 1961 a column that she named “Children\u27s Corner” in the section “Sr. & Cía.” These contributions are fragmentary, exploratory, somewhat hinting at failure. This article reads Lispestor’s texts for Senhor as interventions that enact a rupture in a narrative of growth, progress, and development geared towards a heteroreproductive future. As it unsettles this ideology, Lispector’s “Children’s Corner” also stages new modes of relationality that defy the ideas of human exceptionalism and human mastery over matter and nature
