The Black Politics of Baltimore: From Kurt Schmoke to Stephanie Rawlings-Blake
No full textInspired by the death of Freddie Gray and the rebellions that ensued, I
became interested in the relationship between Baltimore’s black leaders and the
city’s recent unrest. In this project I explore the development of black politics in
Baltimore, by studying the city’s first black mayor, Kurt Schmoke, and the city’s
current black mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. Though the literature has
characterized both Schmoke and Rawlings-Blake as deracialized in nature, I
hypothesize that Schmoke and Rawlings-Blake have different political styles,
with the shift between their politics mirroring a broader shift that has occurred
within black politics more generally. In order to prove my hypothesis, I
conducted an in depth study of the political careers of Kurt Schmoke and
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake by examining their campaigns, agendas, and policies.
In order to do so, I analyzed over 15,000 newspaper articles, ten years worth of
Schmoke’s “Mayoral Papers,” and three of Mayor Rawlings-Blake’s Budget
Proposals. After conducting such research, I found a substantial difference in the
political styles and types of policies implemented by the two mayors. While
Mayor Schmoke emphasized and promoted racialized issues, Mayor Rawlings-
Blake has conducted herself in a consistently deracialized way, which has
implications for both the 2015 unrest and the current trends and weaknesses in
black politics
"Entre Nous": The Pre-World War II Fan Mail of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
No full textThis article examines fan mail as a distinct form, one made possible by the creation of the identity of the fan. From 1935 to 1946, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings saved a large portion of her fan mail, which provides a compelling look into the actual texts that fan mail writers produce. These letters, and Rawlings' responses to them, gave their writers a workshop space in which they could hone their authorial voice. Unlike uncirculated texts, letters allowed fans to submit this apprentice work to a master for approval and, ultimately, inclusion in the archive

Stages for the More Sustainable Farm
No full textCurrently, agricultural farm units are faced with a double and most times contradictory challenge, in order to be successful: on the one hand the invested capital has to be profitable and the economic performance has to be maximised. On the other hand, given the socio-environmental situation, it is necessary to preserve and to protect the environment and natural resources. Given the potential conflict of the two aims, since the satisfaction of one implies the underperformance of the other (and vice versa), the question then is: which is the solution to choose? We intend, in this work, to formulate a farm plan with the purpose of reconciling the criteria of environmental sustainability with that of economic competitiveness. For this achievement we proceed to the comparative study of sustainability of different groups of farms identified in the study area (first evaluation cycle) through MESMIS (“Marco para la Evaluación de Sistemas de Manejo de Recursos Naturales Mediante Indicadores de Sustentabilidad” - Framework for Evaluation of Natural-Resource Systems Handling through Sustainability Indicators) methodology, that allowed to select the more sustainable group of farms. Based on the found potentialities and weakness on these production systems, we stepped to the planning of a production unit of bovine meat, which obeys simultaneously to economic and environmental objectives, using Multicriteria Decision. We finished the work with the sustainability evaluation between groups of farms identified previously and the planned farms (second evaluation cycle), based, again, in the MESMIS methodology, to confirm (or not) the greatest sustainability of the last ones. Analyses of the results allow us to confirm the greatest relative sustainability of the planned farm, for the diverse traced scenarios.Decision taking, planning, sustainability, Environmental Economics and Policy, Farm Management,

Reescrita de si pelo outro: identidade portuguesa e paródia em Deus-dará, de Alexandra Lucas Coelho / Rewriting oneself through the other: Portuguese identity and parody in Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho
No full textResumo: O artigo aponta o modo como o romance Deus-dará de Alexandra Lucas Coelho, escritora portuguesa contemporânea, pode ser compreendido como um exercício de renegociação da identidade portuguesa em relação a questões referentes à colonização no Brasil. Mais do que isso, problematiza-se como, por meio da estratégia da paródia no texto ficcional, a autora consegue expressar uma necessidade e possibilidade de se redefinir pelo outro em um movimento contrário ao do discurso colonial – o que também ocorre em suas entrevistas e em suas narrativas de viagens, tais como em Vai, Brasil e Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso. Palavras-chave: identidade portuguesa; paródia; pós-modernismo; escrita portuguesa contemporânea; Alexandra Lucas Coelho. Abstract: The article observes how the novel Deus-dará, by Alexandra Lucas Coelho, a Portuguese contemporary writer consists in an exercise of renegotiation for the Portuguese identity in relation to issues that refer to the colonization process in Brazil. Moreover, this text seeks to show how parody as a fictional literary strategy helps the author in expressing a necessity and a possibility of redefining oneself through the other, in a direction that goes in the opposite way of the colonial speech. This necessity and this possibility also appear in the author’s interviews and travel books, such as Vai, Brasil and Cinco Voltas na Bahia e um beijo para Caetano Veloso, which will also be mentioned in this article.Keywords: Portuguese identity; parody; post-modernism; Portuguese contemporary writing; Alexandra Lucas Coelho

Athaliah and Alexandra: Gender and Queenship in Josephus [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textAthaliah and Alexandra were the only two women to rule as queens of Judah/Judaea in their own right and both women’s reigns are reported in Josephus’ writings. Despite their uniqueness, however, Athaliah and Alexandra are rarely compared in scholarship; the former is usually dismissed, and focus centred on the latter. This article contends that there are historical similarities between the two, but literary differences. Josephus could have referred to Athaliah or used elements of her portrayal in his presentation of Alexandra but does not, creating the impression that Alexandra was completely different to her predecessor. It may be instructive, therefore, to consider why Josephus literarily isolates the queens and what this means for his interpretation of Alexandra
