Wallace Stevens’s Birds, or, Derrida and Ecological Poetics
Authors: Wolfe Cary
Published: September 2018

Birds comprise one of the most storied figural sites in Anglo-American poetry—and particularly in the Romantic genealogy that runs from Keats’s nightingale, Shelley’s skylark, and Poe’s raven to the birds that appear centrally in many of Wallace Stevens’s most important poems. Drawing on the work of Jacques Derrida, this chapter will explore how in the bird topos of Stevens, the lines of animal studies and posthumanism cross in a way that subordinates the problem of the animal other to a more radically inhuman or ahuman otherness that is not limited to animal and human bodies, but in fact “traverses the life/death relation” (to use Derrida’s phrase). And this fact, in tandem with Derrida’s speculations on Heidegger and Defoe in the The Beast and the Sovereign, enables us to understand the peculiar quality of Stevens’s “ecological” poetics.
The Unfinished World
Authors: Khalip Jacques
Published: September 2018

The first chapter turns to Roland Barthes’s passing meditation on Caspar David Friedrich’s painting The Sea of Ice as a starting point for describing Wordsworth’s thoughts on an unfinished world. Singularly averse to co-optation, the unfinished contrasts with tropes of containment that seek to capture the world as a thing that is nominally our own. A concluding section on the Canadian painter Paterson Ewen’s Close Up Of A Planet With Three Satellites alongside a sonnet by Wordsworth on the planet Venus pushes the discussion toward theories of anonymity, planetarity, and the inhuman.
Life Is Gone
Authors: Khalip Jacques
Published: September 2018

Chapter Two explores how David Hume’s remark in an essay that “life is gone” might be read as an attempt to acknowledge the inconsequentiality of the very thought of life. It begins with readings of texts by John Clare, Wordsworth, and William Godwin, and then moves to consider photographs by Joanna Kane and John Dugdale as instances of what Keats calls “posthumous existence,” his powerful articulation of how one might wish to relinquish life as a thing held in reserve for human thought and its survival.
As If That Look Must Be the Last
Authors: Khalip Jacques
Published: September 2018

The final chapter reads the third-to-last line of Shelley’s The Triumph of Life, “as if that look must be the last,” as an aside that asks what occurs after that last look. In a post-Waterloo poem that imagines a hallucinatory end-of-the-world scenario amidst several last things, including a kiss, Shelley explores the adjacencies opened up by his unfinished late piece. Drawing on Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Julie, an illustration from that book by Nicolas Monsiau, and a photograph by Peter Hujar, Shelley’s poetic experiment is characterized as tacitly queer insofar as it refuses to endorse a normative politics of life, and imagines bodies and pleasures as scintillatingly regressive, inoperative, and disappearing.
Sales Pitch
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

Gentleness sells; it is set before us in all its forms, everywhere, constantly. Gentleness is used as an excuse to ennoble objects of consumption. Perversion is exercised in the name of gentleness. Gentleness is divided into two bodies of socioeconomic control: carnal and spiritual.
A Silent Transformation
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

Chinese thought and culture emphasize transitions, invisible germinations, and sentient life in contrast to Western culture that is focused on fixed identity. Gentleness is tied to this gradual process of transformation. Transformation is an attitude, a state of body and mind, a harmony with the “natural” pattern of things that mature and flourish, interacting with their surroundings. Gentleness also contains the seed of its opposite.
Free Form
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

We recognize gentleness in the literary figures that turned everything around them upside down without meaning to, including Prince Myshkin, the majority of characters in Kafka, in Melville, in the short stories of Tolstoy, little John Mohune in Moonfleet. These characters arrive from nowhere and with gentleness provoke violence and passion around them. They polarize the real around an unprecedented truth that is impossible to bear. An excess of this gentleness is dangerous because it reveals faults, desire, manipulation, or conversely, goodness.
The Sensory Celebration (III)
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

Joy is one of the names of gentleness. Gentleness is not a quality of being, but pure presence. The sweet taste of sugar is gentleness’s universal metaphor. Gentleness opposes passion and the game of narcissistic mirrors that which passion encourages. There can be gentleness in fear.
Cruelties
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

Dufourmantelle discusses the character Piotr Stepanovich Stavrogin in Dostoevsky’s The Devils as an inverted Christ figure. He embodies a gentleness of extreme savagery to the extent that he moves forward while exposing himself all the time, such as he is, openly transgressing laws and customs without any of the false pretences held by his contemporaries. Gentleness is the temptation of the executioner. Gentleness has always sheltered horror.
A Gentle Revolution
Authors: Dufourmantelle Anne
Published: September 2018

It is sometimes inadvertently that a revolution takes place. An effect of extreme gentleness, barely different from other moments, and then life suddenly catches fire, is ablaze. Gentleness is a return to self that invents a future in the image of a spiral. Gentleness is what allows us to reach out to this stranger who comes to us, in us. Dufourmantelle tells a story of gentleness.
Life and Spontaneity
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: September 2018

Chapter 2 focuses on the myth of the two ages and the pivotal role played by the adjective automatos in the Stranger’s telling of that myth (267c–274d). It is argued that Plato’s use of the term automatos to describe both the way in which the fruits of earth come up “of their own accord,” “freely,” or “spontaneously” during the Age of Kronos and the way the universe or cosmos, itself a living being, moves during the Age of Zeus, reveals a tension at the very heart of Plato’s conception of life. By comparing Plato’s use of this term automatos in the Statesman to other uses in the dialogues (in Theaetetus, Sophist, Protagoras, and elsewhere), it is shown that automatos must be understood as something like—to use Derrida’s vocabulary—an undecidable, akin to the pharmakon of Phaedrus, that is, a fundamentally ambivalent notion around which a whole series of opposing terms (activity/passivity, inside/outside, natural movement/mechanical causality) revolves. The chapter concludes by suggesting that this use of automatos, in conjunction with a somewhat unexpected use of the term mimesis in the same myth, might indicate an unacknowledged Heraclitean influence on the Statesman and might help explain Plato’s multiple references to Heraclitus in related dialogues (such as Sophist, Theaetetus, and Cratylus). This allows us then to ask whether a (perhaps Heraclitean) notion of mimesis—another way of describing what is called here Plato’s political anamnesis—is not what links the Age of Zeus to the Age of Kronos, and, perhaps, human life in the Age of Zeus to the life itself in the Age of Kronos.
The Shepherd and the Weaver: A Foucauldian Fable
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: September 2018

This chapter considers Michel Foucault’s provocative but very selective reading of the central myth of the Statesman in his 1977–78 seminar Security, Territory, Population. Contra Foucault, who claims that Plato never adhered to the pastoral model of governing, that is, the model of the ruler as shepherd, and that he in fact definitively rejects this model in the Statesman in favor of the model of the ruler as weaver, this chapter demonstrates that a more complex relation between the models, as between the two ages, is required. Though Plato never puts it in exactly this way, the statesman in the Age of Zeus is indeed a weaver, but he is a weaver who must, through his weaving, imitate the shepherd in the Age of Kronos. Hence the model for the statesman as weaver, that is, the model for the statesman understood through an image of technical production within the city, must always remain, in a way that will have everything to do with the question of life, the statesman as shepherd in a time before technology and before the city.
Plato and the Invention of Life Itself
Authors: Naas Michael
Published: September 2018

The final chapter takes many of the insights from the previous chapters in order to show, through a more general reading of Plato’s dialogues, how Plato attempts always to move from what is commonly called life, that is, from a more biological conception of life, a life of the body or of the animal, to a spiritual life or a life of the soul, that is, from something like bare life to real life, from particular life-forms to an essence or form of life itself, the only life, in end, worthy of the name for Plato. This chapter thus concentrates on several later dialogues in which Plato begins to distinguish two different valences of life, human life in the polis (bios) as opposed to what Giorgio Agamben calls “bare life” (zōē), but also, and more importantly, human life as opposed to something like real life. It is the initial distinction between human life and bare life that allows for this reinscription or transformation of bare life into something like real life or life itself, a transformation, it is argued, that is decisive not just for Plato but for the entire neo-Platonic and Christian tradition that takes its inspiration from him.

Moses and the Burning Bush: Leadership and Potentiality in the Bible
Authors: Sharvit Gilad
Published: September 2018

This chapter discusses Freud’s depiction of Moses as an absolute monarch in Moses and Monotheism. The argument is that the portrayal of Moses as a tyrannical ruler essentially obscures a much more nuanced representation of Moses in the bible, as introduced in the scene of the Burning Bush, where Moses was not domineering nor demanding, but rather, suffered under the imperious demands of God. The analysis of the interaction of Moses with God borrows several concepts from Agamben’s theory of potentiality to argue that in contrast to the despotic Moses of Freud, the biblical Moses symbolizes the human struggle for impotentiality and freedom.
Ethical Principles of the Islamic Faith – Insights for the Modern World
Authors: Unus Iqbal , Caldwell Cam
Published: September 2018

The Islamic faith is viewed by many across the world with limited understanding and the image of Muslims has been tarnished by radical members of that religion whose actions do not reflect the religion’s core beliefs.  Because Muslims represent the world’s second largest religious group with more than 1.6 billion adherents, understanding the ethical principles of the Islamic faith is in the interest of others throughout the world who live, do business, and/or associate with Muslims.  In this paper we examine principles of the Islamic faith, as set forth in the Qu’ran and the Sunnah, and compare them with twelve other well-recognized ethical perspectives, comparing differences and similarities.  We suggest that understanding the tenets of the Islamic faith will enable others to interact more effectively with Muslims as colleagues, business associates, and community members.
Intertextualidade: uma leitura borgiana de Martín Fierro
Authors: Zinani Cecil Jeanine Albert
Published: September 2018

A intertextualidade constitui um aspecto muito significativo para os estudos contemporâneos de literatura, na medida em que possibilita uma abordagem diferenciada do fenômeno literário, considerando as possibilidades de diálogo que sucedem entre diferentes obras. Pretende-se, neste estudo, examinar os contos de Borges “Biografia de Tadeu Isidoro Cruz” e “O fim”, numa abordagem intertextual com a obra de Hernández, Martín Fierro, considerando, principalmente, os estudos de Bakhtin, Kristeva e Jenny. Intertextuality constitutes a very meaningful aspect for the contemporary studies of Literature, in as much as it makes a different approach of the literary phenomenon possible, taking into consideration the dialogue possibilities which take place among different works. In this study, the novels by Borges, “Biografia de Tadeu Isidoro Cruz” and “O fim” are analyzed via an intertextual approach alongside the work by Hernández, Martín Fierro, taking into main consideration the studies of Bakhtin, Kristeva and Jenny.
Relações intermediáticas em "Vous n'avez encore rien vu" de Alain Renais
Authors: Tibúrcio Desiree Bueno
Published: September 2018

No filme Vous n’avez encore rien vu (2012), Alain Resnais volta-se para a literatura dramática, transpondo as peças Cher Antoine ou l’Amour raté (1969) e Eurydice (1942), de Jean Anouilh, para o universo cinematográfico. Neste sentido, o cineasta promove um diálogo intermediático entre a linguagem cênica e a linguagem cinematográfica, teatralizando o cinema. Dentro deste âmbito, este trabalho estuda a intermedialidade em Vous n’avez encore rien vu e a teatralidade no filme de Resnais.In the film Vous n’avez encore rien vu (2012), Alain Resnais turns to the dramatic literature, transposing Jean Anouilh’s plays Cher Antoine ou l’Amour raté (1969) and Eurydice (1942)  to the cinematographic universe. In such context, this work studies the intermediality in Vous n’avez encore rien vu through the analysis of Anouilh’s scenery in Resnai’s film.
Honoré de Balzac: diálogos entre a escrita cotidiana e a literatura
Authors: Arigoni M. Inês C.
Published: September 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar alguns elementos de relação entre as esferas jornalística e literária presentes na produção de Honoré de Balzac. Reconhecidamente, havia, no século XIX, uma via de mão dupla entre esses domínios e seus contornos eram difusos; o que sugere indícios de intertextualidade nas escritas literária e não literária balzaquianas.The purpose of this article is to examine closely related elements between journalistic and literary texts by Honoré de Balzac and their relevance with regards to literary creation as well as journalistic practice. It is known, that in the nineteenth century, there were many shared influences between the journalistic and literary spheres and their boundaries were diffuse; which suggests evidence of intertextuality in Balzac’s writing, both literary and non-literary.

O presente artigo procura aprofundar a relação hipertextual entre os romances O Ateneu(1888), de Raul Pompéia, e Falange gloriosa (1917), de Godofredo Rangel, avaliando, para além de uma proximidade temática, a ênfase narrativa de cada obra e as nuanças ideológicas provenientes no cotidiano de colégios brasileiros na virada do século XIX para o XX.This article discusses the hypertextual relation of the novels O Ateneu (1888) by Raul Pompéia and Falange gloriosa (1917) by Godofredo Rangel, assessing, apart from a thematic proximity, the narrative emphasis of each novel and its resulting ideological nuances as part of the daily life of Brazilian schools at the turn of 19th to 20th centuries.
Obras clássicas e contemporâneas na escola: como acessá-las, por que lê-las?
Authors: Pereira Volmir Cardoso
Published: September 2018

Este artigo propõe uma discussão sobre as práticas de leitura literária no ambiente escolar a partir de dois momentos: primeiramente, destacam-se as possibilidades de acesso à literatura a partir da leitura em novos meios e suportes, assim como as experiências literárias na contemporaneidade que apontam para a ascensão do escritor multimídia e também para um novo perfil de leitor. Em um segundo momento, procura-se pensar a atualização dos procedimentos de leitura dos clássicos literários na escola, compreendendo-a como direito do aluno a ter acesso aos bens estéticos e culturais que possam cumprir papel importante em uma formação humanística, referendada por uma proposta de cunho histórico-crítico. Em paralelo, desenvolve-se uma reflexão sobre os problemas e dificuldades na implementação de políticas públicas capazes de modificar o baixo índice de leitura literária na educação básica. Assim, pretende-se contribuir para pensar a atualidade dos clássicos no âmbito escolar e a incorporação de novas práticas de leitura que possam melhorar o contato dos alunos com o cânone literário e com os autores contemporâneos.
Abaixo dos pés as tempestades: o desafio interdisciplinar
Authors: Daflon Claudete , Antunes Alexandre
Published: September 2018

O presente artigo propõe discutir, a partir das relações entre literatura e ciências da natureza, a relevância de estudos interdisciplinares para uma educação compromissada com a condição humana, a complexidade do conhecimento e a imaginação. Tendo em vista a reflexão de Edgar Morin sobre interdisciplinaridade e pensamento complexo, considerou-se a possibilidade de renovação do ensino de literatura nas escolas a partir de uma abordagem capaz de conjugar conhecimentos que são normalmente tratados como conflitantes (áreas relacionadas às humanidades, artes e linguagem normalmente são situadas em oposição às disciplinas ligadas às chamadas ciências “duras” ou atreladas a estudos da natureza e da matemática). Com a finalidade de colocar em questão a desconstrução de hierarquias e de divisões estanques entre as disciplinas, foram considerados aspectos epistemológicos associados à produção e difusão do conhecimento segundo a reflexão de autores como Gaston Bachelard e Wolf Lepenies. Buscou-se ainda contextualizar a discussão com base nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Médio e em trabalhos sobre o ensino no Brasil como os de Lopes (1999) e Fazenda (1996). A orientação teórica assim estabelecida permitiu sustentar a defesa de metodologia caracterizada pela abordagem do texto literário como objeto complexo, ou seja, considerando-o em integração com conhecimentos representados por outras disciplinas escolares, em especial as relacionadas às ciências da natureza. A obra literária deixa de ser considerada domínio exclusivo dos estudos de Língua e Literatura, sem perder sua especificidade, para ser compreendida como articulação de múltiplos fatores e conhecimentos passíveis de serem atualizados por estratégias interdisciplinares de leitura. Apresenta-se no artigo exercício para exposição da proposta apresentada, elegeu-se para essa finalidade o poema Às artes (1788), de Manuel Inácio da Silva Alvarenga. A escolha de obra setecentista visou expor como conexões entre o conhecimento científico e a prática poética da época conferem complexidade e atualidade ao texto escolhido ainda que escrito há mais de 200 anos, relacionando-o a demandas vividas pelos estudantes no âmbito escolar.
A leitura literária no segundo segmento do ensino fundamental: a identidade do professor em questão
Authors: Souza Raquel Cristina De Souza e , Dias Ana Crelia
Published: September 2018

Este artigo pretende apresentar algumas breves reflexões sobre a leitura literária no segundo segmento do Ensino Fundamental, tendo em vista sua condição de entre-lugar no processo de escolarização. Por um lado, esta etapa é precedida por práticas mais lúdicas, centradas no exercício do imaginário e no apelo à subjetividade, que caracterizam o Ensino Fundamental I; por outro lado, é seguida por práticas mais distanciadas, reflexivas e críticas próprias do Ensino Médio, etapa na qual a apropriação subjetiva do texto parece estar alijada da sala de aula e a leitura literária cede espaço para o ensino sobre literatura. Problematizamos a prevalência dos estudos linguísticos nas tentativas de didatizar a aproximação do professor ao texto literário, já que a experiência propriamente estética é ignorada. Por fim, comentamos algumas observações extraídas das autobiografias de leitor de um grupo de professoras da rede pública municipal e estadual do Rio de Janeiro, atuantes no Ensino Fundamental e alunas do Mestrado Profissional em Letras da UFRJ, de forma a tentar compreender, por meio do próprio processo subjetivo colocado em jogo na escrita autobiográfica, como se constroem a identidade de leitor e a identidade de professor de literatura daqueles que atuam no Ensino Fundamental.
Materialidade e modernidade no Livro do Desassossego

No presente artigo pretendemos pôr em paralelo as teses de Walter Benjamin sobre a escrita na modernidade a partir do texto “Paris, the Capital of the Nineteenth Century”, onde se faz referência à fotografia e outros meios de produção modernos, com a prosa do Livro do Desassossego de Fernando Pessoa. Lisboa, cidade moderna como foi a Paris de Baudelaire, participou dos mesmos elementos de modernidade como qualquer das capitais europeias.
Ato de leitura: quando o povo Kotiria nos conta
Authors: Rezende Patrick , DePaula Lillian
Published: September 2018

A partir do conceito de linguagem como ato performativo, proposto por John L. Austin (1962), este trabalho busca expandir tal concepção também para a leitura, entendendo-a não como atividade passiva, mas que age, não apenas sobre os indivíduos, mas em toda a cadeia discursiva. Desconstruindo a dicotomia fala/escrita à luz de Derrida (1972), refletir-se-á sobre a importância de recuperarmos as narrativas indígenas e promover leituras a partir delas como formas de reparação, isto é, como forma de levar adiante uma prática social que povo Canela chama de m’ypé. O presente trabalho se apresenta como um ato de leitura dos processos de reencontro do povo Kotiria, indígenas situados na fronteira entre Brasil e Colômbia, com suas histórias, e também como forma de agir a partir da leitura de tais narrativas, convidando aos leitores a conhecerem mais sobre esse povo e buscar modos apaziguar os séculos de silenciamento de toda uma cultura.

A Conceptual Framework for the Association between Relationship Conflicts and Employees’ Intention to Leave
Authors: Weerarathna Ranitha Sachinthana , Perera Sharmini
Published: September 2018

The main objective of this research paper to conceptualize a model to test the association between relationship conflicts and employees’ intention to leave with the support of past theories and research findings. This research paper contains the definitions for variables related to relationship conflicts and employees’ intention to leave from the organization and also it explains models which explain the interconnections among two variables. The conceptualization of this research includes a logically developed model that leads to identify the relationships between the independent variable and dependent variable. The proposed model suggested that there is an association between relationship conflicts and employees’ intention to leave.
De redelijke grond: rechtsfeit of rechtsgrond?
Authors: Jovović Marko , Wiewel Joren
Published: September 2018

De redelijke grond: rechtsfeit of rechtsgrond?

Op 16 februari 2018 wees de Hoge Raad twee beschikkingen over de wijze waarop in ontbindingsprocedures (namelijk met toepassing van het bewijsrecht) moet worden vastgesteld of sprake is van een redelijke grond. De auteurs onderzoeken in deze bijdrage wat dit oordeel betekent voor de discussie over de vraag of redelijke gronden ambtshalve moeten worden toegepast. De auteurs analyseren de beschikkingen mede aan de hand van het onderscheid tussen ‘rechtsfeiten’ en ‘rechtsgronden’. Dit onderscheid is relevant omdat de rechter rechtsfeiten op grond van artikel 24 niet ambtshalve mag aanvullen en rechtsgronden binnen bepaalde grenzen wel.

In tegenstelling tot de opsteller van de concept-memorie van toelichting bij de Wab concluderen de auteurs dat redelijke gronden rechtsfeiten zijn en niet dus door ambtshalve door de rechter mogen worden aangevuld.

AVG en ontslag
Authors: Dorenbos Karolina
Published: September 2018

AVG en ontslag

De Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming bevat voor werkgevers strengere regels voor rechtmatige verwerking van werknemersgegevens; en voor werknemers meer waarborgen omtrent de bescherming van hun persoonsgegevens.

Leidt de AVG – naast meer verantwoording en transparantie ten aanzien van verwerking van werknemersgegevens in het kader van de arbeidsverhouding – tot nieuwe inzichten voor de bescherming van persoonsgegevens van werknemers bij ontslag?

De auteur zet de huidige stand van de rechtspraak af tegen de strengere normen uit de AVG. Zij concludeert dat hoewel de materiële uitgangspunten voor de bescherming van persoonsgegevens onder de AVG grotendeels hetzelfde blijven, processuele vereisten uit de AVG nog moeten worden ingekleurd door het arbeidsrechtelijke normenkader van goed werkgever- en werknemerschap, de instructiebevoegdheid van de werkgever en de processuele regels omtrent ontbinding door de kantonrechter.

God migrates in the Netherlands: Social trends relating to religion and the consequences for catholic migrant communities

The future of catholic migrant communities in the Netherlands depends on the broader social trends and their impact on religious communities. Four trends are discussed in this paper: general secularization that affects especially the mainline churches, enlargement of scale of organization that diminishes the parish commitment of members, the bricolage of religious behavior that implies that believers make choices about their commitment to one or more religious traditions, and finally the general debates about religion in post-secular society. These trends provide threats and opportunities to migrant communities, but also pose these for dilemmas.
Euthanasie volgens het rooms-katholiek kerkelijk strafrecht
Authors: Huysmans Ruud
Published: September 2018

Euthanasia according to Roman-Catholic Ecclesiastical Criminal Law

A medical doctor in The Netherlands is not punishable under the law for assisting in a patient’s self-chosen death as long as (s)he has fulfilled the conditions of the Euthanasia Law of 2002. This law regards patients with unbearable and hopeless suffering who request an end to their life. This article will regard euthanasia from the perspective of Roman Catholic church law: if a Catholic doctor in The Netherlands ends the life of a patient in conformity with the Euthanasia Law, could this nevertheless be considered a crime of manslaughter as stipulated in Canon 1397 of the Code of Canon Law (1983)? And is that doctor then punishable under that law? It will be demonstrated that this is not the case, because the church law does not regard a crime similar to euthanasia under Dutch law, even though the killing of an innocent person is considered a sin. Against the background of the logic in church law, this article will make a comparison with the crime of abortion as stipulated in Canon 1398 of the ecclesiastical Code. It will be demonstrated that manslaughter and abortion share a different but illuminating history and topicality.

Introduction
Authors: Brown M. Kathryn , Bey George J.
Published: September 2018

This introduction to the edited volume by Brown and Bey summarizes past research on the Preclassic Maya and discusses an explosion of new information from the last fifteen years pushing back the origins of social complexity into the Middle Preclassic. This chapter highlights the fact that this volume brings together important archaeology and research considering the Middle and Late Preclassic periods from both the southern and northern Maya lowlands for the first time. The Late Preclassic was long thought to be the time period by which archaeologists could explain the rise and nature of Classic Maya culture. However, as the fifteen chapters in this volume argue, any discussion of the development of social complexity must be focused on the Middle Preclassic (1000-300 B.C.).
The Earliest Ceramics of the Northern Maya Lowlands
Authors: Andrews V E. Wyllys , Bey George J. , Gunn Christopher M.
Published: September 2018

This chapter examines the evidence for pre-Mamom pottery in the northern Maya lowlands. This pottery, recognized as the Ek complex, has been identified at Komchen and Kiuic as well as several other sites in the western part of northern Yucatan. The identification, description, and comparison of this pottery with contemporary complexes from the southern Maya lowlands establishes Ek pottery as the oldest ceramic complex (900-800 B.C.) recovered in the north. Northern Maya culture is thought to be the result of a process of in situ evolution which begins at roughly the same time it happened in the south.
The Role of Ideology, Religion, and Ritual in the Foundation of Social Complexity in the Belize River Valley
Authors: Brown M. Kathryn , Awe Jaime J. , Garber James F.
Published: September 2018

This chapter examines the role of ritual and religion in the development of social complexity and the institutionalization of hierarchy in the Belize River valley. The authors synthesize Preclassic data from the sites of Blackman Eddy, Cahal Pech, and Xunantunich related to early religious behaviour and document how ritual activities and public architecture changed through time in order to both emphasize and reinforce inequalities within the society, and thus reflect transformations in shared religious beliefs. Evidence from the Belize River valley suggests that rituals revolving around the veneration of ancestors were a critical component in the processes of both establishing and maintaining social hierarchies.
Developmental Dynamics, Energetics, and Complex Economic Interactions of the Early Maya of the Mirador-Calakmul Basin, Guatemala, and Campeche, Mexico
Authors: Hansen Richard D. , Forsyth Donald W. , Woods James C. , Schreiner Thomas P. , Titmus Gene L.
Published: September 2018

This chapter examines the archaeological evidence from the Mirador-Calakmul Basin of northern Guatemala and southern Campeche, Mexico, concluding that by no later than 600-400 B.C., the late Middle Preclassic, a state level society developed. This is supported by the nature of the economic system, long-distance exchange, architecture, and agricultural strategy in place by that time. A mutually sustaining system may have emerged between specialists and a governing elite, creating a favorable climate for innovation and associated justification of specialist production and consumption. This had profound and lingering consequences for more than a millennium of subsequent occupation and cultural development.
The Preclassic Settlement of Northwest Yucatan
Authors: Anderson David S. , Castellanos Fernando Robles , Andrews Anthony P.
Published: September 2018

This chapter focuses on presenting data and interpretations resulting from three recent archaeology projects carried out in the northwest corner of Yucatan, Mexico. The surveys identified a total of 140 sites with Preclassic occupations indicating a burgeoning degree of cultural complexity by the Middle Preclassic. These sites formed a three-tiered regional hierarchy which persisted until the beginning of the Late Preclassic period. Perhaps the most unexpected feature at these sites was the presence of 23 examples of ballcourt architecture dating to the Middle Preclassic period.
Maya and the Idea of Empire
Authors: Freidel David
Published: September 2018

It is argued in this chapter that the idea of “empire” was established in the Maya lowlands by the Kaanal lords of El Mirador with their first regional hegemony. The idea of empire is associated with the evolution of Maya kingship and can be discerned clearly in the Classic period. It is also proposed that the Kaanal kings of the Preclassic Period established important cultural patterns in the central and northern lowlands including a form of divine kingship institutionalized around councils and transformation rituals which could not be claimed by simple kin succession from the prior king. The political economic obligations of Preclassic Maya kingship strongly reinforced collective efforts such as risk-reducing marketplace distribution of food and other vital commodities. It also encouraged the establishment of regional hegemonic hierarchies that facilitated administration of common political economic objectives.
“An Inconvenient Truth”
Authors: Brown-Pérez Kathleen
Published: September 2018

The concept of destroying Indigenous peoples in America has often meant physical eradication. However, as time passed and genocide became less politically correct, economical, or convenient, federal policies were put in place to “destroy” by means other than physical destruction. This essay asserts that these policies had one goal: assimilation. Assimilation was to be the means by which the federal government would control American Indians by eliminating distinct cultures and heritages.
Historic Preservation in Nazi Germany
Authors: Hagen Joshua
Published: September 2018

This chapter offers a critical examination of historic preservationist practices to expand our understanding of the Nazi regime’s ideologies and objectives regarding historic places and national heritage. Rather than catalogue the actual techniques of historic preservation, this chapter focuses on the cultural politics animating the regime’s efforts to construct its vision of national history, heritage, and memory. To do so, the chapter surveys the Nazi regime’s efforts to “preserve” three generalized places: the city, the town, and the village
The Negotiation of Identity and Belonging in Kakadu National Park
Authors: Waterton Emma
Published: September 2018

The relationship between heritage and identity can hardly be doubted; indeed, identity has been central to the field of heritage since its inception. This is the case whether we are thinking in terms of research, policy, or popular engagements. In this chapter, the author draws from a combination of structured visitor interviews carried out on-site at two of the main rock art galleries within Kakadu National Park—Ubirr and Nanguluwurr—and in-depth, semistructured interviews undertaken with a selection of visitors some months after their initial visit. The questions participants were asked centered upon eliciting an understanding of how they understood Kakadu as an Australian heritage site, identifying in particular how they used the messages contained within the park to negotiate their own identities and shape their conduct toward others.
Shared Identities through Cross-Border Cultural Tourism
Authors: Jolliffe Lee
Published: September 2018

The cross-border partnership of international parks along the US-Canada border is an example of the kind of collaboration that is required for binational heritage initiatives. This chapter extends previous research that has focused on various aspects of border tourism by studying cultural tourism and identity in a specific cross-border region. Such regions often have similar cultures and heritages, yet the nature of border crossings and regulations can often inhibit joint initiatives. Partnerships, on the other hand, can be aimed at breaking down these barriers.
Coming of Age through (Black) Dance in the San Francisco Bay Area
Authors: Osumare Halifu
Published: September 2018

This chapter tells the author’s beginnings in dance in high school and her developing dance training as an undergraduate at San Francisco State University. She also probes the unique qualities of the SF Bay Area in the latter 60s, specifically as it relates to the Black Arts Movement-West, the hippie counterculture movement, and black militancy leading to the formation of Oakland’s Black Panther Party and the SF State Strike for Ethnic Studies. She shows how she situated dance as her unique revolutionary statement and took this approach when leaving the US for Europe as a young woman.
British Forts in Northern New York State
Authors: Starbuck David R.
Published: September 2018

Numerous British fortifications were constructed in the 1750s along Lake Champlain, Lake George, and the Hudson River, all on the eastern edge of the colony of New York. Many of these positions were reoccupied twenty years later during the American Revolution. The author has conducted excavations for nearly thirty years at several of these forts and encampments, seeking to understand the strategies, provisioning, foodways, and building techniques employed by British Regulars and Provincial soldiers as they fought on the American landscape. These sites include Fort William Henry, Fort Edward, Rogers Island, and Fort George, each of which helped to open up the interior of the colony of New York to further settlement.
Everyday Entanglements
Authors: Beier Zachary J. M.
Published: September 2018

The policy of incorporating enslaved Africans into colonial military installations throughout the Caribbean was standard British military policy by the eighteenth century. The Cabrits Garrison, located on the northwestern coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica, was occupied by the British Army between 1763 and 1854. Using available archival and archaeological evidence from structures occupied by lower status military personnel, including enslaved laborers and soldiers of African descent serving in the West India Regiments (WIR), this chapter compares these residential quarters to provide a vantage point exploring lived experience within the formal landscape of British imperialism. Findings demonstrate the connection between these living areas and wider developments across the British Empire and Caribbean plantation culture while also revealing the varied and contradictory nature of identities resulting from dynamic labor relations and daily practices.
Supporting the Fort
Authors: Gijanto Liza
Published: September 2018

A series of British trading companies attempted to dominate the Gambia River beginning in the seventeenth century. In doing so, they altered the socioeconomic landscape of the region. Central to these efforts was the British fort on James Island. The river’s large amount of natural landing points tied several villages already involved in commerce located in the upper river region to the emerging Atlantic trade. However, the physical nature of the island, including limited space and no fresh water source, made it necessary for the trading companies to maintain nearby support posts. This chapter uses archaeological and documentary records to explore the extended nature of the “fort” in the Gambian context, examining the socioeconomic interactions, access to wealth, and demographic shifts tied to British commerce during the Atlantic era.
Porous Walls and Possessive Structures
Authors: Pezzarossi Guido
Published: September 2018

This conclusion chapter arrays the contributions to the volume along a set of integrative themes that places the archaeology of forts and their communities in direct conversation with critical approaches to the archaeology of colonialism. Pezzarossi traces out the plural roles and character of British forts discussed in the contributions, as well as the manifold influences of native and African communities and knowledge, other colonial powers, and the material world on the forts and their communities. In the end, the conclusion stresses the importance of the volume’s approach to the archaeology of forts and provides additional theoretical perspectives on how (and why it is necessary) to move past static, essentialist models of British forts and their engaged communities in order to better conceptualize the messy, porous, and entangled nature of colonial encounters, particularly at, with, or around the forts that frequently set them in motion.
New Discoveries
Authors: Cook Gregory D. , Bratten John R. , Worth John E.
Published: September 2018

The Emanuel Point Shipwreck helped to persuade the University of West Florida to begin a program of maritime archaeology. Those students ultimately continued the survey of Pensacola Bay, finding another Luna shipwreck near the first one and then, recently, a third sister ship in the fleet. Above the shipwrecks on the Emanuel Point Bluff, remnants of the settlement site have also been found, creating an unparalleled opportunity to study the maritime and terrestrial components of that forgotten chapter and bring its remains to light.
Development and Demise of Rosewood
Authors: González-Tennant Edward
Published: September 2018

Chapter 2 presents a history of Rosewood beginning with a brief overview of previous research into the town’s past. Most of the research takes place in response to a statewide conversation in the early and mid-1990s. Growing media attention encouraged Floridians to grapple with the meaning of Rosewood’s destruction in the past and present. The attention encouraged the state legislature to compensate the survivors and descendants of the massacre; that compensation represents the primary example of reparations granted to African Americans in the United States. To better understand the events of 1923, Florida’s state legislature commissioned a group of historians to investigate and write a concise history of the town and its destruction. The resulting report, based on four months of research, remains the authoritative treatment of the 1923 riot. The report, a few articles, a popular book, and a Hollywood movie all contribute to public knowledge and representations of Rosewood. González-Tennant’s overview of Rosewood’s history adds to previous research by offering a comprehensive look at similar events in American history. González-Tennant contextualizes Rosewood within broader social trends beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing until today.
Excavating Rosewood’s Past
Authors: González-Tennant Edward
Published: September 2018

In Chapter 4 González-Tennant discusses a novel approach to the archaeological investigation of documents, personal testimony, and material remains that supports an intersectional investigation of the 1923 Rosewood race riot. The use of GIS realizes historical archaeology’s ongoing goal of developing a unique approach to documentary evidence. The combination of property deeds, census records, artifacts, and oral testimony creates a more nuanced picture of Rosewood as a living community with more than a half century of history. The use of these data allows the author to reconstruct historical property ownership for Rosewood for more than fifty years beginning in the 1870s. The resulting GIS, based on historical properties research and other data, supports a diachronic analysis of race, class, gender, and kinship as a form of landscape analysis. The ability to reconstruct the town’s historical landscape results in previously unpublished information about Rosewood’s development and offers intriguing clues regarding its destruction.
Collaborative Archaeology, Social Justice, and Digital Heritage in Rosewood
Authors: González-Tennant Edward
Published: September 2018

In Chapter 6 González-Tennant discusses ongoing experimentation with new media technology to make historical research accessible to a wider public. The mixed-methods approach González-Tennant describes in earlier chapters continues through a discussion of the ways digital technologies are changing public outreach. González-Tennant describes the use of virtual-world environments, digital storytelling, and the Internet to translate academic research into public knowledge. The use of these emerging technologies is framed within a collaborative practice, and their use in Rosewood demonstrates how such approaches facilitate new engagements between archaeologists and stakeholders. The use of these technologies occurred in response to engagement with survivors, descendants, and their advocates. It has also produced engagements with property owners in Rosewood and other interested members of the public in Levy County and beyond.
A Porous Line
Authors: Green Ulrike Matthies , Costion Kirk E.
Published: September 2018

This chapter introduces the Cross-Cultural Interaction Model (CCIM), which was designed to more clearly expose the processes that occur in the multicultural contexts of colonization, frontiers, and ancient borderlands. The model can visually represent simultaneous interactions by numerous participants and explores the various ways in which people interact and what motivates their participation in cultural exchanges. This chapter reviews the theoretical origins of the CCIM, describes how it works, and how it has changed since its inception. Second, the chapter briefly introduces each of the case studies in this volume which serve to showcase the versatility of the CCIM.
Reconfiguring Regional Interactions in the Face of Cahokian Decline
Authors: Buchanan Meghan E.
Published: September 2018

The early Mississippian Period in the midwestern United States was a time of great religious, social, economic, and political change. Several models and theories have been proposed for understanding changes in regional interactions associated with the rise of Cahokia, the largest Mississippian city. However, the later dissolution of Cahokia and other Mississippian centers during the twelfth through fourteenth centuries and their impacts on regional interactions are poorly understood. This chapter assesses the utility of the Cross-Cultural Interaction Model for Mississippian Period during the late twelfth through fourteenth centuries in the Midwest. Additionally, this chapter proposes the addition of a third dimension to the model in order to account for indigenous ontological perspectives with regard to entanglements between political reorganization and cosmological realms. Particular attention is given to the Common Field site, a political and religious center located in a region that had been sparsely populated prior to AD 1200.
