Educational Narrative: Grace Eberhardt
No full textAs a part of the University of Puget Sound\u27s African American Studies Public Scholarship course, students were required to review their educational experiences from pre-k to the present. The goal of this assignment was for them to assess the ways in which they were treated based on their marginalizations or their privileges. Students provided three terms for what their narrative would share — the terms were not to be included in their narrative. After reading their narratives aloud, a class discussion connected their terms to the associated experiences. There are a total of four narratives in this issue, three are also accompanied with a voice recording by the author. The following is one such narrative

Ida von Hahn-Hahn und Isabelle Eberhardt. Ausbruch aus Restriktionen – Auf der Suche nach sich selbst
No full textThe following thesis compares the travelogue Orientalische Briefe by the German author Ida von Hahn-Hahn with the travel journals Mes Journaliers by the French author Isabelle Eberhardt, in the context of how each woman represents herself as a female traveler and author. The comparative study analyzes whether both authors in these texts deal with the issue of breaking out of social and cultural restrictions while traveling to the ‘Orient’. The overall question of my thesis concerns what kind of filters did they use to speak about the ‘cultural other’.
The personal backgrounds of Ida von Hahn-Hahn and Isabelle Eberhardt differ in several aspects. The German author Ida von Hahn-Hahn visited the ‘Orient’ in 1843 temporarily and each place on only one occasion whereas the French author Isabelle Eberhardt constantly traveled at the end of the 19th century and at the same time she turned North Africa into her new home. These texts were analyzed in the context of gender discourse analysis, focusing on the discourse of feminity in the 19th century and the discourse of the Western world about the ‘Orient’. The comparison showed similarities and differences in the way both authors present themselves and the ‘Arab woman’ by (de-)constructing pre-existing ‘images’.
In my analysis I was able to demonstrate that both authors consciously deal with the western femininity discourse of the 19th century and the Western discourse about the ‘Orient’ by selecting similar motives. Even though their results are quite different, both authors clearly use the ‘Orient’ to express their search of one’s self
Mulher, islã e literatura: os avatares de Isabelle Eberhardt

Mechanosensitive Transcription Factors Involved in Endothelin B Receptor Expression
No full textGrowing evidence suggests an involvement of the endothelin B receptor (ETB-R) in blood pressure-dependent arterial remodeling. To study the molecular mechanisms leading to deformation-induced ETB-R expression, we have cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells on flexible elastomers and, when grown to 70% confluence, periodically stretched them for 6 h (15% elongation, 0.5 Hz). The cells responded with an increase both in ETB-R mRNA (12-fold compared with control) and protein (4-fold). According to nuclear run-on analysis this increase in ETB-R expression occurred at the level of transcription. Among various kinase pathways, Rho kinase (ROCK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) mediated part of the deformation-induced increase in ETB-R expression, as judged by the inhibitory effect of Y27632 (1 mum, 38% inhibition) and SB202190 (10 mum, 44% inhibition), respectively. Gel shift assaying of the three transcription factors principally activated by these kinases revealed a transient deformation-induced activation of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP), but not activating transcription factor, that was sensitive to both Y27632 and SB212190. The potential role of AP-1 and C/EBP in deformation-induced ETB-R expression was verified both by using decoy oligodeoxynucleotides mimicking the DNA-binding sites of these transcription factors and a nuclear run-on-based assay employing specific antibodies directed against AP-1 and C/EBP. Both techniques unequivocally demonstrated that activation of these transcription factors, namely that of C/EBP beta, contribute to the increase of ETB-R gene expression in response to cyclic stretch
Dekonstrukcja orientalistycznych stereotypów w dziennikach z podróży Isabelle Eberhardt
No full textThe article examines the role of Orientalist stereotypes in Isabelle Eberhardt’s travel short stories. It questions the oversimplified view which considers stereotyping as an individual cognitive process that helps individuals simplify their understanding of people from different cultures. It also shows that this is an ideological construct overloaded with racial attitudes, sexist, and gender issues. The author emphasizes that stereotypes reveal a cognitive bias due to generalizations, out-group homogeneity, and categorizations, and cannot be isolated from their ideological motivations, especially in the context of colonialism. Selected travel short stories by Eberhardt are analyzed: Le Magicien, Le Meddah, Criminel, Fiancée, Le portrait de l’Ouled-Naïl, and La Derouïcha, in accordance with the theory of Palestinian-American philosopher Edward Said, expressed in his book Orientalism, so as to demonstrate the major tropes of Orientalist stereotypes and their functioning in the aforementioned texts. Said asserts that the European prejudiced perspective on the East is the result of stereotypical images, which were built in a context of domination of the Orient. Other theorists are also relied upon, such as Frantz Fanon and Achille Mbembe, Gayatri C. Spivak, Ania Loomba, and Meyda Yeğenoğlu, in order to consider the link between Orientalist discourse and issues of ethnicity and gender. The intersectional approach allows us to examine the Orientalist stereotypes and to deconstruct the racist and sexist constructions underlying Eberhardt’s texts. It also provides a broader conception of stereotyping, which considers the nexus between Orientalist discourse, race, gender, and sexuality. The research shows that the author adopts the scrutinizing gaze of the colonizer and creates binary oppositions between Western, civilized personas and their uncivilized, Oriental counterparts. Moreover, it uses degrading and dehumanizing stereotypes which implicitly justify the “civilizing mission” undertaken by the Occident.W artykule zbadano rolę stereotypów orientalistycznych w opowiadaniach podróżniczych Isabelle Eberhardt. Podważono uproszczony pogląd, który traktuje stereotypy jako indywidualny proces poznawczy, pomagający jednostkom uprościć ich rozumienie ludzi z różnych kultur. Jednocześnie wykazano, że jest to ideologiczna konstrukcja przeciążona postawami rasowymi, seksizmem i kwestiami płci. Autorka podkreśla, że stereotypy ujawniają uprzedzenia poznawcze z powodu uogólnień, jednorodności i kategoryzacji grup zewnętrznych i nie można ich odizolować od ich ideologicznych motywacji, zwłaszcza w kontekście kolonializmu. Analizie poddano wybrane opowiadania Eberhardt: Le Magicien, Le Meddah, Criminel, Fiancée, Le portrait de l’Ouled-Naïl oraz La Derouïcha, zgodnie z teorią palestyńsko-amerykańskiego filozofa Edwarda Saida wyrażoną w książce Orientalizm, aby zademonstrować główne tropy stereotypów orientalistycznych i ich funkcjonowanie w tych tekstach. Said twierdzi, że europejska uprzedzona perspektywa na Wschód jest wynikiem stereotypowych obrazów, które zostały zbudowane w kontekście dominacji Orientu. Powołuje się również na innych teoretyków, takich jak Frantz Fanon i Achille Mbembe, Gayatri C. Spivak, Ania Loomba i Meyda Yeğenoğlu, aby rozważyć związek między dyskursem orientalistycznym oraz kwestiami etnicznymi i płciowymi. Podejście interseksjonalne pozwala badać stereotypy orientalistyczne oraz dekonstruować rasistowskie i seksistowskie konstrukcje leżące u podstaw tekstów Eberhardt, a także zapewnia szerszą koncepcję stereotypizacji, w której uwzględniany jest związek między dyskursem orientalistycznym, rasą, płcią i seksualnością. Autorka ta przyjmuje badawcze spojrzenie kolonizatora oraz tworzy binarne opozycje między zachodnimi cywilizowanymi personami a ich nieokrzesanymi orientalnymi odpowiednikami. Ponadto posługuje się poniżającymi i nieludzkimi stereotypami, które implicite usprawiedliwiają „misję cywilizacyjną” podjętą przez Okcydent
