Recent rural community studies
No full textThis article examines recent rural community studies by considering, in turn: comparisons, methods, theories and community studies as vehicles for developing social scientific arguments. 'Recent' is defined as from 1980 onwards. 'Rural' is taken to include research conducted in country towns. And 'community studies' is understood as an inclusive term embracing various research methodologies. Because this field cannot be covered exhaustively, attention is focused on research that has a special bearing on the future of community studies. Particular reference is made to the work of Colin Bell, which helped to shape recent research agendas
CRÍTICAS RACIALES AL ENCARCELAMIENTO MASIVO: MÁS ALLÁ DE UN “NUEVO JIM CROW”
No full textDurante la última década, una cierta cantidad de académicos han llamado al sistema penal estadounidense un nuevo tipo de Jim Crow. Estos autores han exitosamente llamado la atención sobre las injusticias creadas por un sistema supuestamente neutral en cuanto a la raza, pero que severamente destierra a los reos y estigmatiza a jóvenes negros de bajos recursos como criminales. Mi argumento es que, a pesar de estas importantes contribuciones, la analogía con Jim Crow lleva a una visión distorsionada del encarcelamiento masivo. La analogía presenta una reconstrucción incompleta de los orígenes históricos de dicho encarcelamiento masivo; omite considerar las actitudes de la población negra hacia el crimen y el castigo; ignora los crímenes violentos para focalizarse casi exclusivamente en crímenes relativos a drogas; oscurece distinciones de clase dentro de la propia comunidad afroamericana, y se pierde los efectos del encarcelamiento masivo en otros grupos raciales. Por último, la analogía con Jim Crow también disminuye nuestra memoria colectiva respecto de los daños ocasionados por el Viejo Jim Crow

Interpretando a Jim Crow: Blackface y emancipación
No full textAbstract: A nineteenth-century American actor named Thomas Rice was sensationally popular as a blackface character named Jim Crow. His popularity is credited with giving birth to blackface minstrelsy as others began to imitate him in the hope of emulating his success. Rices Jim Crow provided a name for laws and customs designed to repudiate the emancipation of African slaves. Blackface minstrelsy staged an idealized version of slave life on a southern plantation. Paradoxically, as blackface revoked the emancipation of slaves on stage, it emancipated the American theatre from its British origins and its audience of recently immigrated laborers from a low social position. It even occasionally performed an ironic reversal of the subaltern status of the very African slaves whose freedom by proclamation and constitutional amendment the performance sought to negate. Contradictions in the history of blackface performance in the United States stage American anxieties about race, class, emancipation, and the very construction of the concepts of blackness and whiteness. Resumen: En el siglo XIX, Thomas Rice, un actor estadounidense, ganó mucha fama haciendo el papel de un personaje cuya cara estaba pintada de negro con el nombre Jim Crow. Se le da crédito a Rice la creación de grupos de actores que se pintaron la cara de negro (un estilo denominado blackface) que luego otros se pusieron a imitarlos con la esperanza de emular su éxito. El Jim Crow de Rice dio nombre a una serie de leyes y costumbres diseñadas para repudiar la emancipación de esclavos africanos. Los espectáculos de los actores en blackface representaron una versión idealizada de la vida de los esclavos en una hacienda sureña. Paradójicamente, mientras el blackface revocó la emancipación de los esclavos sobre el escenario, emancipó el teatro estadounidense de sus orígenes británicas y su público que consistía en obreros inmigrantes de baja clase social. De vez en cuando hasta representó un revés irónico del estatus barriobajero de los mismos esclavos africanos cuya libertad por proclamación y enmienda constitucional, la representación quiso negar. Las contradicciones en la historia de espectáculos teatrales blackface en los Estados Unidos ponen de manifiesto ansiedades estadounidenses sobre la raza, clase social, emancipación y hasta la construcción misma de los conceptos de blancura étnica y negrura étnica/blancura y étnica.Abstract: A nineteenth-century American actor named Thomas Rice was sensationally popular as a blackface character named Jim Crow.

Effects of meteorological conditions on brood care in cooperatively breeding carrion crow and consequences on reproductive success
No full textOfficial journal of DZG, Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft (German Society of Zoology)[EN] Meteorological stressors (e.g., temperature and rain shortage) constrain brood provisioning in some bird species, but the consequences on reproductive success have been rarely quantified. Here we show, in a cooperatively breeding population of carrion crow Corvus corone in Spain, that individual feeding rates decreased significantly with rising air temperatures both in breeders and helpers, while lack of rain was associated with a significant reduction in the effort of the male helpers as compared to the other social categories. Group coordination, measured as the degree of alternation of nest visits by carers, was also negatively affected by rising
temperature. Furthermore, we found that the body condition of the nestlings worsened when temperatures were high during the rearing period. Interestingly, the analysis of a long-term data set on crow reproduction showed that nestling body condition steadily deteriorated over the last 26-years. Although many factors may concur in causing population changes, our data suggest a possible causal link between global warming, brood caring behaviour and the decline of carrion crow population in the Mediterranean climatic region of SpainSIThis work was funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (Grant CGL2016 – 77636-P to VB

Experimental resource pulses influence social-network dynamics and the potential for information flow in tool-using crows
No full textThe project was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (David Phillips Fellowship to C.R.: grant numbers BB/G023913/1 and /2), with contributions for genetic analyses by the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Conservation and Evolutionary Genetics.Social-network dynamics have profound consequences for biological processes such as information flow, but are notoriously difficult to measure in the wild. We used novel transceiver technology to chart association patterns across 19 days in a wild population of the New Caledonian crow—a tool-using species that may socially learn, and culturally accumulate, tool-related information. To examine the causes and consequences of changing network topology, we manipulated the environmental availability of the crows’ preferred tool-extracted prey, and simulated, in silico, the diffusion of information across field-recorded time-ordered networks. Here we show that network structure responds quickly to environmental change and that novel information can potentially spread rapidly within multi-family communities, especially when tool-use opportunities are plentiful. At the same time, we report surprisingly limited social contact between neighbouring crow communities. Such scale dependence in information-flow dynamics is likely to influence the evolution and maintenance of material cultures.Peer reviewe
