Identidad puertorriqueña y subalternidad en No quiero quedarme sola y vacía.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this paper is to explore the problem of Puerto Rican identity in No quiero quedarme sola y vacía (2006), by Ángel Lozada. Significantly disregarded by most Puerto Rican critics, this novel deals with the seemingly impossible task of constructing a subjective and cultural identity from the perspective of a homosexual Puerto Rican exiled in the United States - something that is reflected in the “pastiche” character of both the novel, its mutating narrator and its hybrid language. But the novel actually goes beyond that. Rejecting any kind of “political correctness”, Ángel Lozada constructs a narrator who, despite his double “subaltern” condition, disrupts any discourse that could eventually question the basis of his own “subalternity”. Instead, he attempts to “assimilate” himself within the “dominant” culture. Indeed, rejecting his Puerto Rican origins - in great part, due to the homophobia he felt on the island -, all the while sustaining a superficial nationalism, the narrator of this novel paradoxically reproduces the same homophobic logic when referring to other “subalterns”, namely citizens of other Caribbean nations. By analyzing the ambiguous relationship the novel’s narrator sustains with his homeland I show not only how he denounces the contradictions implied by any effort to establish a Puerto Rican identity, especially from a homosexual perspective, but that he can actually be seen as a traitor, someone who is, at the same time, in and out his own group and culture.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Copyright","short_name":"Copyright","text":"","url":"https://escholarship.org/terms"},"keywords":[{"word":"Puerto Rico  identidad  subalternidad  gender"},{"word":"Women's Studies"},{"word":"Latin American literature"},{"word":"Ethnic, Cultural Minority, Gender, and Group Studies"}],"section":"Article","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0rd4f870","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Ingrid","middle_name":"","last_name":"Robyn","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Texas at Austin","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-01-13T05:13:56+08:00","date_accepted":"2011-01-13T05:13:56+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-24T05:10:22+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/mester/article/36765/galley/27576/download/"}]},{"pk":36774,"title":"Dislocaciones lingüísticas en la aldea global: testimonios de dos migrantes sudamericanos en EEUU","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Variaciones lingüísticas en la aldea global: testimonios de dos migrantes sudamericanos en EEUU \t               En este texto analizo las limitaciones y estrategias de adaptación lingüística efectuadas por dos migrantes en sus experiencias de desplazamiento al interior de países andinos, de donde son originarios, y, en un segundo momento, hacia los EEUU. Argumento que en ambos testimonios (publicados en inglés en 2000) se produce un cambio en la manera que estos sujetos se piensan a sí mismos a medida que confrontan lingüísticamente su condición subalterna en los distintos territorios.\n \nEn el caso del peruano Fredy Amilcar Roncalla, el quechua de la sierra peruana, su lengua materna, se enfrenta al español institucional de la capital, Lima, en un texto en que los factores de raza, lengua y condición social tienen un trasfondo colonial que todavía subsiste y que lo relegan. Frente a esto, él se aferra a su lengua y decide no olvidar. Por su parte, Raymundo Mora emplea estrategias de supresión de su variante materna del español una vez que emigre de Ecuador, su país de origen, a Colombia. A diferencia del caso anterior, Mora cede a la adquisición de un prestigio social debido a un manejo competente de una variante en posición privilegiada. Ambos sujetos mantendrán estas enseñanzas en un nuevo contexto, lejos de las políticas monolingües de sus países, cuando decidan acomodarse en el ambiente multicultural norteamericano, desde donde formulan un “happy ending”.\n \nPese a lo anterior, tanto en un espacio –el de origen- y el otro –EEUU- las estrategias empleadas por los sujetos en cuestión, junto con su inherente deseo por validación social, conviven con un cuestionamiento hacia las instituciones de enseñanza institucional (del español y, luego, del inglés) y con el dilema de mantener o no el registro primero (el quechua y el español ecuatoriano).

Amerindian and Chicano cultures, for example, confront their marginalization amidst mainstream economic orders, competing religious dogmas and models of civic government.  The resulting intercultural synthesis—endemic to the physical and psychological regions Gloria Anzaldúa defines as “the Borderlands”—surfaces in the narrator’s language, which marks her as a non-native speaker of so-called Standard American English. Abundant double negatives and other quirks in her speech conform to conventional Spanish constructions; as such, they give voice to ambiguous, doubly-spoken utterances that can be instructively analyzed in terms of Mikhail Bakhtin’s account of dialogic discourse. As we will see, such linguistic complexity harbors an empowering capacity to engage lived experience by renaming it; wielded effectively, it may usefully contest and revise conventional patriarchal and socio-economic paradigms that would otherwise restrict human agency. Characters may employ dialogic discourse to speak new realities, in a sense. This reality-making—the naming of that which was formerly inexpressible—finds powerful activation in the narrator’s unique sensibility, the arrival, perhaps, of “a new mestiza consciousness” that Anzaldúa announces in her work (77).  In So Far From God, mourning mother and activist Sofi follows the narrator’s model to rise as la mayor. In this role, her dialogically expressed mestiza consciousness uses cross-language complexity to subvert the powerful systems that have conditioned Tome’s poverty and dysfunction. Meanwhile, Sofi’s daughter, la Fe, fails to successfully voice such a challenge and finds herself relegated to a position of impotent exclusion.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Copyright","short_name":"Copyright","text":"","url":"https://escholarship.org/terms"},"keywords":[{"word":"castillo"},{"word":"so far from god"},{"word":"double negative"},{"word":"dialogic language"},{"word":"Community"},{"word":"anzaldua"},{"word":"Bakhtin"},{"word":"Literature in English, North America, ethnic and minority"}],"section":"Article","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/96b5t0qg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Cory","middle_name":"S","last_name":"Teubner","name_suffix":"","institution":"Wichita State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-03-01T03:14:52+08:00","date_accepted":"2011-03-01T03:14:52+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-23T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/mester/article/36771/galley/27578/download/"}]},{"pk":37637,"title":"Introduction","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Introduction to Mester 40","language":"en","license":{"name":"Copyright","short_name":"Copyright","text":"","url":"https://escholarship.org/terms"},"keywords":[],"section":"Introduction","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8rk6b9wk","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Covadonga","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lamar Prieto","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2013-04-22T05:47:13+08:00","date_accepted":"2013-04-22T05:47:13+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-23T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/mester/article/37637/galley/28408/download/"}]},{"pk":37636,"title":"List of Content","subtitle":null,"abstract":"","language":"en","license":{"name":"Copyright","short_name":"Copyright","text":"","url":"https://escholarship.org/terms"},"keywords":[],"section":"Front Matter","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9q52d56q","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Covadonga","middle_name":"","last_name":"Lamar Prieto","name_suffix":"","institution":"Univesity of California, Los Angeles","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2013-04-22T05:45:46+08:00","date_accepted":"2013-04-22T05:45:46+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-23T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/mester/article/37636/galley/28407/download/"}]},{"pk":36770,"title":"Suicidio y colonialidad en una novela de la diáspora centroamericana: Inmortales","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Explorando el lente teórico de la colonialidad del poder y la colonialidad del ser, este artículo analiza el suicidio de uno de los personajes principales en la novela de Oscar René Benítez, Inmortales (1983).

Tensions between minority, immigrant, and diasporic positions become evident not only through their plots, characterizations, and stylistic elements but also in their complex production and distribution histories.

Rewriting Ezra Pound’s Chinese images, Hahn reconstructs women’s voice in ancient Chinese writings. Undoing the simplistic interpretation of the classical Japanese form\n zuihitsu\n, her restorative untranslation of the form makes connections between the discursive agency of ancient Asian women writers and contemporary women poets.

An early foray into transnational American Studies, Gray’s analysis of the role “Europe” plays both in the narrative and in the life of the author herself begins with a discussion of the object of art—the self as exoticized, distanced other—imagined and displayed against the carceral black body in the American imaginary, an imaginary that holds the protagonist, Helga, hostage to an indeterminacy represented by her mulatto status. Gray argues that the “quicksand” of the search for essence, whether located in the body or in the eyes of others, eventually dissolves the protagonist’s sense that a change of place can change the truth that essence does not exist. Gray references the shared observation among African American international celebs (Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Josephine Baker—whose 1973 interview with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is cited) that “being different is different” in Europe, yet that otherness is finally also not an experience of self, which the narrative (and perhaps the author’s life as well) proves to be endlessly deferred.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Transnational"},{"word":"Europe"},{"word":"Nella Larsen"},{"word":"Mulatto"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Reprise","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3dp6q6n2","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jeffrey","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gray","name_suffix":"","institution":"Seton Hall University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-06-21T01:51:06+08:00","date_accepted":"2012-06-21T01:51:06+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-21T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42588/galley/31797/download/"}]},{"pk":42567,"title":"Excerpt from \nAfter Camp: Portraits in Midcentury Japanese American Life and Politics","subtitle":null,"abstract":"In his book \nBy Order of the President: FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans\n (2001), Greg Robinson discussed FDR’s decision to remove Japanese Americans from their homes and concentrate them in internment camps.

He also thought such a scatter plan would suit refugee European Jews who he hoped would settle in Latin America. Indeed he thought ethnic minorities crowded into American cities might also benefit if resettled in small towns. While this is a racial story, FDR’s vision here was also driven by the rural sentiments of FDR, the gentleman farmer. That produced some highly regarded programs, most notably the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the “Greenbelt towns.” But the massive population transfers that Robinson shows to have been on the president’s mind would have made a mockery of the US rights tradition.

Contrasting viewpoints on race and ethnicity form an important element of Marinova’s corpus, and one fine example is the extract shown here, which treats the encounter of Russian-Jewish revolutionary Vladimir Bogoraz (Tan) with a Black American student working as a Pullman porter, and the Russian’s unwittingly humorous incapacity to view him outside of stereotypes (in a fashion that anticipates the character of the mother in Shirley Jackson’s mordant short story “After You, My Dear Alphonse”).","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Russian-American"},{"word":"Travel Writing"},{"word":"Transnational"},{"word":"Vladimir Bogoraz"},{"word":"American Studies"}],"section":"Forward","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/53c3t83t","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Margarita","middle_name":"D.","last_name":"Marinova","name_suffix":"","institution":"Christopher Newport University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-06-19T05:22:03+08:00","date_accepted":"2012-06-19T05:22:03+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-21T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/42564/galley/31773/download/"}]},{"pk":42566,"title":"Excerpts from \nBridging Cultures: International Women Faculty Transforming the US Academy","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This is a pair of excerpts from the anthology \nBridging Cultures: International Women Faculty Transforming the US Academy\n.

The stakes of re-membering are further articulated through the interweaving of the bodily acts associated with the death of the author’s grandfather, Bo Jung. Joining the principal argument with this more personal reflection is an attempt to think through the implications of Nishikawa’s theatrical memorial and to grapple with loss and the complex, nonlinear structures of memory that attend it.

This essay explores the politics of artistic invention in diasporas as embedded in the disruption, dislocation, and fragmentation in Ming-Yuen S.

It argues that by moving outside the nation-space into the experiential and virtual “global space” of diasporas, Ma’s work addresses Wong’s concerns and enacts a viable “virtual mediation” that situates Chinese diasporas in the historical contexts of British colonialism and American racial exploitation and exclusion. This movement also entails confronting other forms of oppression, including sexism and heterosexism in both the East and West. While giving voice and visibility to the struggles of racial and sexual minorities across national borders, Ma demonstrates the possibilities of a historicized critical approach to diasporas, one which underlies Wong’s insistence in critiquing gendered and racialized power structures both within and outside the nation-state.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Asian American"},{"word":"Diaspora"},{"word":"Cyberspace"},{"word":"Ming-Yuen S.

Putting these two discourses into conversation yields several important results: for one, posthumanist theory allows for a more complex understanding of the shift, within Asian American criticism, from nation-bound models to transnational frameworks. Moreover, posthumanism’s emphasis on technological mediation provides an important new theoretical framework for Asian American literary criticism, particularly in terms of the way that subjects are produced and reproduced in conjunction with technological objects. At the same time, Asian American literary criticism’s focus on the material effects of cultural productions pinpoints and illuminates a critical aporia in posthuman theory: its uncertain and equivocal treatment of race and ethnicity. The essay concludes with a reading of Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries’ \nTraveling to Utopia: With a Brief History of the Technology\n.

The article examines the importance of the collaboration between British and American sex reformers by focusing on how their radical feminist and socialist politics were underpinned by their attacks on jealousy. Hustak suggests here that new transatlantic relationships were forged by British and American sex reformers through their consideration of the emotional constitution of white middle-class citizens who were similarly shaped by capitalist and patriarchal institutions that crossed national divides, while also articulating a special kinship among white middle-class citizens in cosmopolitan bohemian communities on both sides of the Atlantic. Hustak’s use of the term \"emotional economy\" highlights how white middle-class British and American sex reformers shared similar concerns over a declining white middle-class birthrate, the nervous exhaustion of white middle-class bodies, and the eugenic future of white middle-class civilization. She suggests that sex reformers' campaigns against jealousy highlighted communal ties that defied national boundaries by identifying shared emotional constitutions along the lines of whiteness, eugenic reproduction, and professional work regimes.

Drawing on Sau-ling Wong’s theoretical insights on transnational processes of race, citizenship, and belonging, it argues that Wang capitalizes on a fluid dynamic of sameness and difference to appeal to a heterogeneous Chinese-speaking audience that stretches across China to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and the greater Chinese diaspora.

Tapping into fears particularly emergent in the post-9/11 era of immigrants as poised to infiltrate America, Jen’s novel engages with the anxiety evoked by the foreigner’s presence but complicates this notion through her careful examination of the ethnic- and gender-inflected dimensions of that response, as well as through the resolution of the plot.

The essay juxtaposes Silko’s novel with the work of emerging Lipan-Jumano Apache poet, scholar, and activist Margo Tamez, who is currently leading an effort to retribalize the Lipan Apache in the militarized US–Mexico borderlands of the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Adamson explores how Tamez and her mother are part of a growing indigenous movement to build capacity among transnational indigenous groups, groups who self-identify as “native” even though they may not be formally recognized by a nation-state, and nonnative groups whose interests in social justice and environmental protection overlap. Adamson explores how this movement is shifting the focus in Native American and American Studies away from debates about “authenticity” and cultural nationalism toward a renewed attention to hemispheric and global struggles for civil, human, and environmental rights. She also argues that, when Silko and Tamez are read together, their work suggests new avenues of interpretation for \nBorderlands/La Frontera\n and calls on scholars to reread/rethink Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of mestizaje, not as mere adherence to mythological tropes, but as suggestive of the experiences of persons of indigenous descent living in communities that fall outside the category of “nation.” The experiences of Tamez and Anzaldúa with illness and toxins, and their writing about it, also challenge readers to imagine a coalition politics that is not exactly “post-identity” but no longer invested in the boundaries of identity. “Another world is possible,” but achieving this goal—Silko, Tamez, and Anzaldúa suggest—will require alliance-making and capacity-building to strengthen local, regional, and global abilities to meet the challenge.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Transnational Indigenous Organizing"},{"word":"American Studies"},{"word":"Native American Studies"},{"word":"Margo Tamez"},{"word":"Leslie Marmon Silko"},{"word":"Gloria Anzaldúa"},{"word":"American literature"},{"word":"American History (United States)"}],"section":"SPECIAL FORUM: Charting Transnational Native American Studies: Aesthetics, Politics, Identity","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2mj3c2p3","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Joni","middle_name":"","last_name":"Adamson","name_suffix":"","institution":"Arizona State University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2010-03-02T01:33:06+08:00","date_accepted":"2010-03-02T01:33:06+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-21T15:00:00+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/jtas/article/43416/galley/32314/download/"}]},{"pk":42586,"title":"Transnationalizing Asian American Studies: Two Perspectives","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Book reviews of Christian Collet and Pei-Te Lien, eds., \nThe Transnational Politics of Asian Americans\n (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2009); and Setsu Shigematsu and Keith L.

Tracing her legacy in the study’s third chapter, “Writing on Multiple Journeys,” the authors argue on behalf of Arnott’s capacity to create authority and celebrity as well as a sense of community among her distant readers, underscoring the powerful and influential role that missionary women’s writing (mimicking to some extent the popular genre of travel writing) played in shaping attitudes at home, not only with regard to race, but also in relation to women’s roles, place, and purpose. Robbins and Pullen display a conscientious resolve not to obscure the inherent contradictions in Arnott’s changing perspectives as they offer a historical narrative based on Arnott’s public and private texts, which also reveal the “consistent inconsistency” in her attitudes and beliefs. Details of and insights into educational practices in missionary schools, including the observation that mothers in the US appreciated the fact that their middle-class Christian children were sharing

After a brief introduction summarizing course logistics and the action research methodology employed, this paper proposes a working definition of social justice and discuss in detail what constitutes a social justice pedagogical framework in archival education. Next, this paper describes and analyzes a small group exercise on the concepts of record, provenance, and creatorship, detailing ways in which students can be both taught prevailing archival concepts and encouraged to critique these concepts from a social justice perspective. This paper then addresses a group discussion concerning power, marginalization, and listening for whispers in the archives, revealing how records can be used in the classroom to illustrate complex theoretical concepts. This paper then discusses the effectiveness of an exercise using three real-life human rights case studies to impart the importance of ethical action in archival practice. In conclusion, the challenges of implementing this framework will be discussed as well as suggestions for future research.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"Archival Education, Social Justice, Pluralism, pedagogy"},{"word":"Information Studies"}],"section":"Special Section Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2jx083hr","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Michelle","middle_name":"","last_name":"Caswell","name_suffix":"","institution":"UCLA","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Giso","middle_name":"","last_name":"Broman","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Jennifer","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kirmer","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Laura","middle_name":"","last_name":"Martin","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","department":"None"},{"first_name":"Nathan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Sowry","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Wisconsin-Madison","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-01-26T05:20:46+08:00","date_accepted":"2012-01-26T05:20:46+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-15T07:58:47+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/gseis_interactions/article/2605/galley/1568/download/"}]},{"pk":2602,"title":"Review: The Filter Bubble: What the Internet is Hiding from You by Eli Pariser","subtitle":null,"abstract":"none","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Book Reviews","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8w7105jp","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Mark","middle_name":"Gregory","last_name":"Samuels","name_suffix":"","institution":"UCLA","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-01-24T14:58:27+08:00","date_accepted":"2012-01-24T14:58:27+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-15T07:58:24+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/gseis_interactions/article/2602/galley/1565/download/"}]},{"pk":2594,"title":"'Class'ifying Ethnicity/Race and Gender: An Intersectional Critique of Bachelor's Degree Completion Research","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Over the past fifty years, postsecondary retention-oriented theory, research, policies, and programs have focused on the effect of singular demographic characteristics in isolation, namely gender or ethnicity/race. Given that this approach has not yielded significant decreases in completion disparities, this paper proposes an explicit incorporation of social class. Drawing on Tinto’s Theory of Student Departure, and using data from the Beginning Postsecondary Students (96/01) data set the author shows that lack of attention to social class background (via socioeconomic status) may be severely inhibiting higher education’s ability to conceptualize and improve completion rates. This paper introduces critical race feminist theory as a paradigmatic perspective for use in models of degree completion and retention-related practice, and subsequently reviews extant research on bachelor’s degree completion, highlighting the clear, but complex relationship between ethnicity/race, gender, and socioeconomic status with a descriptive analysis. The author discusses the pervasive role of socioeconomic status for all ethnic/racial and gender groups in relation to six-year graduation rates, and how notions of intersectionality should be used to promote and reflect more demographically complex approaches to improve completion.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"socioeconomic status, higher education, bachelor's degree completion, class, intersectionality"},{"word":"Education, Higher Education"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8nc1m3m0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Valerie","middle_name":"C.","last_name":"Lundy-Wagner","name_suffix":"","institution":"New York University","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-12-10T04:16:20+08:00","date_accepted":"2011-12-10T04:16:20+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-15T07:57:39+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/gseis_interactions/article/2594/galley/1560/download/"}]},{"pk":3232,"title":"Recognizing and Escaping the Sham: Authority Moves, Truth Claims and the Fiction of Academic Writing About Adult Learning","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This paper seeks to explore the meaning of  the sham with regards to academic writing. It challenges the  fundamental assumptions that underpin conventional academic writing and  suggests that such writing is actually less honest than the other forms  of writing that it sets itself against. It is precisely the reliance on  what Laurel Richardson calls the “authority moves” (1997, p.167) of academic language that undermines its claim to represent reality in an open and honest way. It is, in fact, a sham.\nThe  rejection of the superior truth claims of academic writing is  illustrated with reference to two interview transcripts from a completed  study and the issues raised are explored theoretically in the light of  the work of Hélène Cixous. It is argued that the adoption of Hélène  Cixous’ notion of l’écriture feminine provides a way out of the dilemma.  Inspired by Cixous, it is argued that it is possible to escape the  limitations of conventional academic writing firstly through the  incorporation of a kind of writing practice which has more in common  with poetry than rational argument and secondly through the  incorporation of generically diverse texts within the social science  research text.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"resilience"},{"word":"adult learning"},{"word":"Cixous"},{"word":"Academic Writing"},{"word":"Arts and Humanities"},{"word":"Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research"},{"word":"English Language and Literature, General"},{"word":"Women's Studies"},{"word":"Feminist Philosophy"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2164s2gc","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Elizabeth","middle_name":"Chapman","last_name":"Hoult","name_suffix":"","institution":"Canterbury Christ Church University, UK","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2011-02-15T01:07:44+08:00","date_accepted":"2011-02-15T01:07:44+08:00","date_published":"2012-06-15T07:57:17+08:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/gseis_interactions/article/3232/galley/2021/download/"}]},{"pk":4740,"title":"Deir el-Gabrawi","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Deir el-Gabrawi, the most important Old Kingdom necropolis of the Upper Egyptian 12th nome, is formed of two cliffs, the northern one near the village of Arab el-Atiyat and the southern one near the village of Deir el-Gabrawi.

We use space-based synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) to provide synoptic vertical land motion measurements of the Delta and levee system from 1995 to 2000. We find that Delta ground motion reflects seasonal hydrologic signals superimposed on average subsidence trends of 3-20 mm/yr. Because the measurements are insensitive to subsidence associated with peat thickness variations over Delta-island length scales, it is most likely that InSAR rates reflect underlying Quaternary sedimentary column compaction. We combine InSAR rates with sea-level rise scenarios to quantify 21st century levee overtopping potential. If left unmitigated, it is likely that 50 to 100 years from now much of the levee system will subside below design thresholds.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Using both historical qualitative analysis and statistical methods, I reach two conclusions: first, despite some scholars’ forbidding portrayals of the ineluctable coming strife over the Arctic, my research demonstrates that the likelihood of conflict is rather low.  Cooperation, not conflict, is the most likely trend for Arctic diplomacy within the foreseeable future.  And second, contrary to popular perceptions in the West, it is Canada, not Russia, who has demonstrated the highest relative likelihood of promoting conflict in the future among the nation-states evaluated.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

I claim that Juvenal inverts the paradigmatic father-son[-wife] relationship with a wife-husband-child chain to suggestively critique Roman governmental authority. This examination includes the relationship between the autocracy and aristocracy in ancient Rome, the nuances of the Roman household in relation to patriarchal representation, Roman satire’s social function, aristocratic expectations of satire, and alternative forms of luxurious entertainment. Knowing that their writing would not create immediate change, satirists such as Juvenal convert an aristocratic audience’s stress into humor, and in doing so channel a kind of “soft power” that aims to gently influence rather than directly attack. I conclude by restating that shying away from the search for meaning due to offensive metaphor (in this case, misogyny) is an academic mistake because it focuses on textual façade over underlying meaning. In fact, it is as these times of feeling offended that we should be more aggressive in our pursuit of meaning.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

Our grandmothers recall times of discrimination and submission while their granddaughters have become world leaders in business, science and most importantly politics. But are the incredible achievements of women like Hillary Clinton and Condoleezza Rice, undermined by the lack of women coming up the political ranks?  As a nation, fiercely proud of their stand on human rights, America is lagging behind on political gender equality. Enfranchisement is more than a right to vote and with women making up only 17% of Congress, America is placed 69th in the world for percentage of women in the national legislature. Women offer vital perspectives and experiences that are crucial in law making and governance. Yet despite years of grassroots gender equality work, they continue to be underrepresented in decision making bodies. As the momentum of grassroots organizing arguable fades, our current law makers must take more responsibility for ensuring women’s political significance in the future. This paper proposes a legislative answer to the political gender divide. Positioned as a legislative to proposal to California Senator Barbara Boxer, this paper suggests political parties adopt a voluntary quota, to motivate, mentor and financially support potential female candidates in order to address the dismal representation of women in federal government. This paper looks at the political and social implications of this legislation, works from existing legislative structures both American and abroad and foresees the opposition and passage of legislation through the current Congress.

Among this group of men who valued esoteric spirituality and the developing symbolist painting and literature was the orthodox Catholic Maurice Denis. In his paper, McKee utilizes often overlooked works in Denis’s oeuvre and reinterprets those most cited to analyze the peculiar role of women within the work of this paradoxically (or is it?) orthodox Catholic and avant-garde artist. Utilizing the Positivist psychology of Charcot McKee demonstrates the problematic nature of female religious ecstasy within an increasingly secular culture. Moving onto the four versions of \nMystère Catholique\n, McKee closely reads the modifications to the body of the Virgin in Denis’s four versions of the painting, interrogating their implications in the larger \nCrise Catholique\n in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Finally, considering the original viewing context of \nMystère Catholique\n and \nSoir Trinitaire\n, McKee demonstrates Denis’s latent sexual anxiety towards the Virginal archetype expressed privately in his journal and laid bare in his religious painting.","language":"en","license":{"name":"All rights reserved","short_name":"Copyright","text":"© the author(s).

Over twenty-five years after the publication of this book, does Neuhaus’ theory still stand? I examine this question in the context of public schools, because attendance at public schools is mostly compulsory, and thus the way children and their beliefs are treated becomes a matter of serious cultural consequence, not merely academic discussion. The existing research on this topic focuses on two polemic understandings of Supreme Court activity, separationist and accommodationist, neither of which are precise enough to wholly describe the Court’s decisions over the past quarter century. Hence, I instead argue that the Court is best characterized as individualist – that is, Court decisions since the mid-1980s reflect a respect for the ability of the individual to practice religion unhindered in public schools, as well as a respect for the individual to resist coercive religious elements in public schools.

In face-to-face interviews, subjects were asked to report their alcohol use and number of sexual partners in the past 12 months. Data were analyzed using multiple variable negative binomial regression models, and effect modification was assessed through inclusion of interaction terms.\nResults: The 395 study participants reported an average of 1.4 (standard error=0.11) sexual partners in the past 12 months, 23% reported misusing alcohol, and 28% reported consuming alcohol before sex. There was no statistically significant association between alcohol misuse and the number of sexual partners; however, alcohol before sex was associated with a larger number of sexual partners in the past year. Moreover, among those who misused alcohol, participants who reported alcohol before sex were 3 times more likely to report a higher number of sexual partners (risk ratio=3.2; confidence interval [CI]=1.9–5.6). The association between alcohol use before sex and number of sexual partners is dependent upon whether a person has attributes of harmful drinking over the past 12 months.Overall, alcohol use before sex increases the number of sexual partners, but the magnitude of this effect is significantly increased among alcohol misusers.\nConclusion: Alcohol misusers and those who reported having more than 1 sexual partner were morelikely to cluster in the same group, ie, those who used alcohol before sex. Efforts to reduce the burden of sexually transmitted diseases, including human immunodeficiency virus, and other consequences of risky sexual behavior in the ED population should be cognizant of the interplay of alcohol and risky sexual behaviors. EDs should strive to institute a system for regular screening, brief intervention, and referral of at-risk patients to reduce negative consequences of alcohol misuse, including those of risky sexual behaviors.

States are required to establish exchanges for small businesses and individuals. A federally operated exchange will be established, and states failing to participate in any other exchanges will be mandated to join the federal exchange. Policymakers and health economists believe that exchanges will improve healthcare at lower cost by promoting competition among insurers and by reducing burdensome transaction costs. Consumers will no longer be isolated from monthly insurance premium costs. Exchanges will increase the number of patients insured with more cost-conscious managed care and high-deductible plans. These insurance plan models have historically undervalued emergency medical services, while also underinsuring patients and limiting their healthcare system access to the emergency department. This paradoxically increases demand for emergency services while decreasing supply. The continual devaluation of emergency medical services by insurance payers will result in inadequate distribution of resources to emergency care, resulting in further emergency department closures, increases in emergency department crowding, and the demise of acute care services provided to families and communities.

Personal health records (PHR) can mitigate the impact of such information gaps. This study assesses ED patients’ willingness to adopt a PHR and the treating physicians’ willingness to use that information.\nMethods: This cross-sectional study was answered by 184 patients from 219 (84%) surveys distributed in an academic ED. The patient surveys collected data about demographics, willingness and barriers to adopt a PHR, and the patient’s perceived severity of disease on a 5-point scale. Each patient survey was linked to a treating physician survey of which 210 of 219 (96%) responded.\nResults: Of 184 surveys completed, 78% of respondents wanted to have their PHR uploaded onto the Internet, and 83% of providers felt they would access it. Less than 10% wanted a software company, an insurance company, or the government to control their health information, while over 50% wanted a hospital to control that information. The patients for whom these providers would not have used a PHR had a statistically significant lower severity score of illness as determined by the treating physician from those that they would have used a PHR (1.5 vs 2.4, P, 0.01). Fifty-seven percent of physicians would only use a PHR if it took less than 5 minutes to access.\nConclusion: The majority of patients and physicians in the ED are willing to adopt PHRs, especially if the hospital participates. ED physicians are more likely to check the PHRs of more severely ill patients. Speed of access is important to ED physicians.

Analysis of variance was used to compare the productivity of different length shifts, and linear regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between productivity and department volume.\n \nResults: One hundred sixty PA shifts were included. Shifts ranged from 4 to 13 hours. Mean productivity was 1.16 patients per hour (95% confidence interval [CI] ¼ 1.12–1.20).

A substantial proportion of this medical imaging is ordered in the emergency setting. We aim to provide a general overview of radiation dose from medical imaging with a focus on computed tomography, as well as a literature review of recent efforts to decrease unnecessary radiation exposure to patients in the emergency department setting.\n \nMethods: We conducted a literature review through calendar year 2010 for all published articles pertaining to the emergency department and radiation exposure.\n \nResults: The benefits of imaging usually outweigh the risks of eventual radiation-induced cancer in most clinical scenarios encountered by emergency physicians. However, our literature review identified3 specific clinical situations in the general adult population in which the lifetime risks of cancer may outweigh the benefits to the patient: rule out pulmonary embolism, flank pain, and recurrent abdominal pain in inflammatory bowel disease. For these specific clinical scenarios, a physician-patient discussion about such risks and benefits may be warranted.\n \nConclusion: Emergency physicians, now at the front line of patients’ exposure to ionizing radiation, should have a general understanding of the magnitude of radiation dose from advanced medical imaging procedures and their associated risks. Future areas of research should include the development of protocols and guidelines that limit unnecessary patient radiation exposure.
