Funk carioca, voz feminina e o caso Tati Quebra-Barraco
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.Este estudo investiga a relação entre raça, democracia racial no Brasil e a ascensão do funk carioca. Além disto, o trabalho analisa a representação da mulher negra e a autorrepresentação feminina exposta na performance de Tati Quebra-Barraco, avaliando a apropriação de discursos do feminino ressignificados no contexto pós-colonial. O funk carioca surge como gênero em 1989 e dialoga com a crise nas escolas de samba e com o mito da democracia racial no Brasil. Nesse sentido, ele reporta-se às questões relacionadas à subalternidade da juventude negra, de maneira geral, e da mulher negra, de maneira específica. A pesquisa é realizada a partir das perspectivas de raça e de representação e autorrepresentação da mulher subalterna, entendidas, no último capítulo desta dissertação, como paródia de discursos vastamente reproduzidos sobre o feminino. Ela também apresenta algumas questões referentes às apropriações da música estrangeira, nomeadamente a soul music e o hip-hop, e ao contradiscurso presente na autorrepresentação feminina de Tati Quebra-Barraco.Abstract : This study researches the relationship among race, racial democracy in Brazil and the rise of Rio de Janeiro s funk (carioca funk). In addition, the paper analyses the representation of black women and the female self-representation present in Tati Quebra-Barraco s music by evaluating the appropriation of hegemonic discourses that have been reinterpreted in the postcolonial context. The carioca funk emerges as a gender in 1989 and establishes a dialogue with the decadence of the samba schools and with the myth of the racial democracy in Brazil. In this sense, it refers to the issues related to the black youth subordination in general and to the black woman subordination specifically. The research is carried out from the race perspective as well as from the subordinate representation and self-representation perspective, which are understood as a parody of hegemonic discourses. It also presents some issues related to the appropriation of foreign music, specifically soul music and hip-hop, and to the counter-discourse in Tati Quebra-Barraco s female self- representation

Women of Bethlehem Steel - Frances Cortez Funk
No full textFrances Cortez Funk’s father, Frank J. Cortez, worked as a laborer at the Bethlehem Steel Corporation from 1970 until the late 1980s. Throughout the interview, Frances Cortez Funk discusses her father’s career, including his work as a union member and activist, and the influence of his life and work on her life and her family.

Frances and her mother Yoko, who also participates in the interview, tell stories about Frank Cortez that speak to his outgoing, positive personality and his drive to help others and for justice, qualities that endeared him to his family, coworkers, and community in Bethlehem and Salisbury Township.

Yoko participates in the interview and shares her story of growing up in Japan during World War II, meeting her husband Frank while he was serving in the military in Japan, and immigrating to the United States. Yoko experienced violence and suffering, including the loss of family members, during World War II. Her story and is one of loss, resilience, and building a new life in a new country and unfolds in this interview alongside her daughter’s story of growing up in a working class, union family and community. At the end of the interview, Frances Cortez Funk reflects on the changing economic, political, and social realities of Bethlehem, PA following the closing of the Bethlehem Plant and the Bankruptcy of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. This interview is part of a series of interviews conducted by Lehigh University and the Steelworkers’ Archives and supported by the Lehigh University Mellon Digital Humanities Initiative and the South Side Initiative. An oral history interview is an act of memory and hence both highly selective and highly subjective. While it accurately reflects what a narrator remembers (or chooses to tell) of his or her experience and viewpoints, it may not accurately represent what actually transpired or what another person may have experienced. As such users should subject interviews to the same degree of critical scrutiny they would any other historical source

Haggadischen Elemente in den Homilien des Aphraates, des persischen Weisen
No full textThis volume contains the inaugural dissertation of the Hungarian scholar Salomon Funk. In it, he addresses the following questions: What is Aphrahat’s dependence on Jewish sources? Which traditions did he receive from the Jews? Is Aphrahat unique in Syriac literature for his relationship to the Jews? After an introduction on Aphrahat’s life, works, and previous scholarship on him, Funk’s method is to go through biblical passages that Aphrahat comments on and show parallels in rabbinic literature. These passages are mostly from the Pentateuch but some subsequent parts of the Old Testament are also briefly touched on. Funk then shows how some of Aphrahat’s expressions and patterns of speech are related to rabbinic literature, and, finally, he indicates how Aphrahat’s psychology and theology relate to Jewish sources. The work concludes with three extraneous notes on the Jews in Persia, the Talmudic expression “Be Abidan,” and Aphrahat’s biblical citations and the Peshitta
Results from the H.E.S.S. Galactic Plane survey
No full textVery high energy γ-rays are a precious tool to probe the long-standing mystery of the origin of cosmic rays. Produced in the interactions of accelerated particles in astrophysical objects, they can be used as a tracer of the high energy universe. Until now, our knowledge of the very high energy γ-ray sky was limited to only a handful of objects. A survey of the inner part of the Milky-Way with the High Energy Stereoscopic System reveals a population of eight firmly detected sources, thereby almost doubling the number of very high energy γ-ray sources known

Oral history interview with Glenda Funk
No full textGlenda Funk, a retired teacher from Chubbuck, Idaho, discusses what it meant to become a teacher in the late 1970's, with very few options available to women. After 38 years of teaching, she retired at the end of 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic impacted education. She speaks of the adjustments necessary to teaching following the fake news and alternative fact push nationwide and recognized that while the public viewed teachers as heroes at the onset of the pandemic, this view would (and did) shift. She passed time in March and April in online writing communities, both blogging and poetry. She feels educators are facing the important issues of censorship and introducing diverse voice to classrooms while learning to decolonize their classrooms. Because of her close proximity in living and teaching to a Native American reservation, she has first-hand knowledge of the effects of the violent history the English language has played on the colonized continents.The COVID-19 Teacher-Poets Writing to Bridge the Distance collection is a series of interviews documenting the teachers' poetry and writing experiences during the 2020 COVID-19 school closings and the topics and insights that emerged
