Emerging challenges and opportunities for irrigation managers
No full textPresented at Emerging challenges and opportunities for irrigation managers: energy, efficiency and infrastructure: a USCID water management conference held on April 26-29, 2011 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Numerous rapidly growing urban areas in the western United States are located in irrigated river valleys. Agricultural irrigation in these communities is being affected by urbanization, and the characteristics and objectives of the irrigator population are also changing. New Mexico's Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (MRGCD) encompasses the rapidly growing Albuquerque metropolitan area. The South Valley is one of the state's oldest traditional agricultural communities, and is located on the southern fringe of Albuquerque within the MRGCD. South Valley irrigated agriculture is in a state of transition, and many lands that were previously used to produce a diverse mix of fruits, vegetables, grains and forages have been converted into commercial and residential development. A few relatively large farms continue to operate in the area; however, hundreds of small or micro-scale irrigated properties are located in the South Valley. These small rural-residential properties predominately apply MRGCD irrigation water to hay and pasture. Little is known about agronomic, irrigation, or marketing practices on South Valley micro-farms, as well as the economic outcomes or impacts of irrigation water use. A team of New Mexico State University researchers is currently surveying MRGCD irrigators, measuring alfalfa consumptive use, and attempting to quantify the economic impact of South Valley irrigated agriculture

Approaches to Albuquerque\u27s Frankitecture: A Mass Architecture for Seminars on the Urban Environment
No full textFrankitecture is an architecture of franchised retail outlets for hamburgers, doughnuts, gasoline, and so on, in an automobileoriented environment. Separately owned buildings have an identical and profitable image. Frankitecture structures ordinary strip elements, but has come to dominate the strip economically and architecturally. It affects the way we perceive architecture in automobile-oriented cities such as Albuquerque. Since frankitecture has implications for the design, construction, use, reuse, and abandonment of buildings, it is of interest to students of the city. It is noteworthy for its accessibility in cities such as Albuquerque, and students as well as other citizens have a wealth of habitual views on frankitecture that make it ideal as a starting point for seminar on the urban environment. Based on the author\u27s experience with three seminars on Albuquerque\u27s frankitecture, an overall approach is outlined, and various materials are offered. These include an essay on frankitecture, study of how five buildings built by a franchise were recycled, a collection of photographs of franchises, an essay on the structure of franchises from a larger (urban and theoretical) perspective, a selection of the author\u27s poems on the urban context of franchises that can serve as a model for in-class exercises, and a bibliography. The bibliography includes sources used in writing the thesis, materials that can be used by teachers and students of Albuquerque\u27s vernacular architecture, and a survey that attempts to characterize what is normally written about the city of Albuquerque
The piano works of Armando Albuquerque
No full text"The piano works of Brazilian composer Armando Albuquerque (1901-1986) are surveyed in this dissertation. A discussion of the chronology of the piano works establishes the relationship between Albuquerque and his cultural environment; the identification of the main elements of his musical idiom delineates the individuality of Albuquerque's style and the main characteristics of his piano writing. The importance of Albuquerque's piano pieces within the development of Brazilian contemporary music is evaluated and particular attention is given to his independence in relation to the nationalistic movements in Brazilian music. The main periods in Albuquerque's piano music are described, including the ""estilo trepidante"" of the l920s, the mature period of the late 1940s, and the period surrounding the composition of the massive Peca para piano 1964."An introductory chapter on Brazilian music between 1900 and 1930 is included, along with a list of editions and recordings of Albuquerque's piano pieces.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T14:11:01Z (GMT).

No full textEste estudo explora a trajetória e os processos criativos da Terpsí Teatro de Dança, fundada em 1987 em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul e da coreógrafa Carlota Albuquerque. Através de relatos e testemunhos de artistas que participaram da companhia ao longo dos anos, delineamos os métodos e as dinâmicas que caracterizam o grupo, com foco em conceitos essenciais como criação coletiva, autoria e a relação corpobjeto. A pesquisa analisa como esses conceitos se entrelaçam ao longo da história da companhia, destacando o papel da afetividade e da memória como motores fundamentais nos processos criativos. Tais elementos não apenas moldam as interações entre os artistas, mas também influenciam a concepção cênica das obras da companhia. Um aspecto central deste estudo é o relato pessoal da autora, filha de Carlota Albuquerque, que oferece uma perspectiva íntima sobre a subjetividade da memória coletiva e os desafios enfrentados na produção artística de uma companhia artesanal, esteticamente moldada por políticas culturais contemporâneas a ela. Além disso, o estudo se aprofunda em duas obras emblemáticas da companhia: Ditos e Malditos: Desejos da Clausura (2008, 2009) e Casa das Especiarias (2011, 2013). Através dessas análises, investigamos como o conceito de instalação, amplamente utilizado por Carlota Albuquerque, serve como um mecanismo eficaz para a concretização dos processos criativos e a realização das performances.This study explores the trajectory and creative processes of Terpsí Teatro de Dança, founded in 1987 in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, and the work of choreographer Carlota Albuquerque. Through accounts and testimonies from artists who have participated in the company over the years, we outline the methods and dynamics that characterize the group, focusing on essential concepts such as collective creation, authorship, and the body-object relationship. The research examines how these concepts intertwine throughout the company\'s history, highlighting the role of affection and memory as fundamental drivers in the creative processes. These elements not only shape the interactions between the artists but also influence the company\'s scenic conception of its works. A central aspect of this study is the personal account of the author, daughter of Carlota Albuquerque, offering an intimate perspective on the subjectivity of collective memory and the challenges faced in the artistic production of a company aesthetically shaped by contemporary cultural policies. Additionally, the study delves into two emblematic works of the company: Ditos e Malditos: Desejos da Clausura (2008, 2009) and Casa das Especiarias (2011, 2013). Through these analyses, we investigate how the concept of installation, widely utilized by Carlota Albuquerque, serves as an effective mechanism for the realization of creative processes and performances
Reading acts of narrative appropriation: four instances of fraudulent memoir
No full textPhDThis thesis examines acts of narrative appropriation, the telling of purportedly‘authentic’ life stories by those for whom the stories are not theirs to tell. This
misuse or subversion of genre - the discipline of historical writing and the category
of autobiography - becomes a means for cultural, social and political dissimulation,
and the analysis focuses both on the act: the event, trespass, or ‘theft’ of another’s
life story, and on the cultural meaning that this event reveals. These narrative acts
are approached theoretically through discussions of what it means to be an author, a
reader, and through the consideration of literary and social genre, category and form.
In exploring identities at particular risk of appropriation, this thesis shows how
fraudulent appropriated narratives affect our reading of the world, and in turn
influence our perception of already marginalized social groups. My primary
examples include prostitution ‘narratives’, Native North American ‘memoir,’ and
fraudulent Holocaust survivor ‘testimony,’ with each text providing decoded
evidence of ‘genre-bending’ exhibiting a social and political intent. These works
seek to be read as authentic personal narratives, as autobiography, and that is how
they have been presented to the reader. However, they are imposters – fictional tales
desiring the elevated status of historical authenticity and willing to bend the rules
and contracts of genre to achieve their end. Here the appearance of authenticity is
achieved through the use of cultural and social ‘myth,’ or perceptions of cultural
identity, and as such its fraudulent construction is first and foremost a social act,
with a social and economic motivation. As this thesis concludes, these texts are
most successful when their own political and social ideologies echo and confirm that
of the readership; when their subjects, the fraudulent ‘I’ at the center of the text is
also a performative elaboration of cultural belief
