Assistência de enfermagem no pré-natal tardio: Consequências para o Binômio Materno-Infantil.
Authors: Passos Sandra Godoi de , Araujo Lucivane Gomes de Medeiros , Barbosa Natalia Cristina Silva , Hipólito Neila Patrícia Lima
Published: May 2024

As consultas de pré-natal são de extrema importância para o bom desenvolvimento da gestação, visto que é nesse momento que se acompanha o crescimento do feto. Por esse motivo é imprescindível que seu início se dê no primeiro trimestre. O pré-natal é um importante indicador de saúde pública e isso envolve diretamente a assistência que está sendo prestada pelos profissionais. Objetivo: Denotar as consequências negativas trazidas pelo início tardio do pré-natal e as causas mais recorrentes na literatura, analisando como o enfermeiro auxilia nesse período. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão sistemática da literatura por meio de pesquisa na Biblioteca virtual de saúde, e nas bases de dados: Scielo, Google acadêmico, Pubmed e outros, realizada em fevereiro de 2024. A coleta de dados foi efetuada pela busca de artigos científicos completos ou revisados, publicados em língua portuguesa nos últimos 10 anos. Resultados: Foram encontrados 13 artigos pertinentes ao tema, divididos em dois subtemas distintos: um com o foco nas consequências do pré natal tardio e o outro com foco nas causas relacionadas. Conclusão: Com base nos dados analisados, solidificou-se que o pré natal feito de forma inadequada, principalmente iniciado tardiamente trás consequências negativas não somente para o feto, bem como para a mulher que está gestando e que as causas para o início do pré-natal tardio são causas evitáveis, principalmente, com educação em saúde e capitação precoce da população. Contudo, pode-se concluir que diversos fatores são preponderantes para o desfecho negativo do pré-natal, porém, a falta de acesso ao serviço, baixa escolaridade e fatores socioeconômicos, são, em sua maioria, determinantes e condicionantes da saúde dessa população e que a assistência prestada, pode, de alguma maneira, mudar essa realidade.
Representações das identidades e regiões
Authors: Oliveira Oséias de
Published: May 2024

O presente texto se propõe a analisar as representações de identidades e regiões sob uma perspectiva histórica e conceitual. A partir de uma pesquisa realizada no âmbito do Programa de Pós-graduação em História da Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste, buscou-se compreender como as categorias de identidade e região são elaboradas e representadas em diversos contextos históricos e historiográficos. Baseado em uma metodologia que articula a História Conceitual e a análise da uma produção historiográfica recente, a investigação evidenciou a complexidade e dinamicidade dos conceitos em questão e suas implicações para a compreensão das relações de poder e das práticas sociais nos espaços regionais particulares. O texto evidencia, a partir das análises, a historicidade das categorias de identidade e região, mostrando como seus significados variam ao longo do tempo e em diferentes contextos, moldando a configuração das práticas sociais, políticas e culturais que pautam a vida de uma sociedade. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa se articula a um referencial teórico-metodológico que se fundamenta, sobretudo, na proposta de Reinhart Koselleck a respeito da da História Conceitual, mas que articula autores como Stuart Hall e Zygmunt Bauman para pensar acerca das identidades na pós-modernidade, assim como  autores da geografia cultural e da história para o tratamento das relações no espaço e os discursos que enunciam as regiões como realidades materiais e simbólicas. A análise das representações de identidades e regiões é fundamental para aprofundar as reflexões acerca das relações sociais no espaço e no tempo, e para compreender as dinâmicas que configuram os espaços regionais.
Limitações na utilização de dados do DATASUS para a formulação de estratégias de prevenção e controle da Sífilis Congênita no Brasil: uma revisão de escopo

Published: May 2024

A sífilis congênita representa um importante desafio de saúde pública no Brasil, com impactos significativos na morbidade e mortalidade materno-infantil. O DATASUS é uma fonte de dados amplamente utilizada para monitorar e analisar indicadores de saúde, incluindo a incidência de sífilis congênita. No entanto, a qualidade e a completude desses dados podem ser afetadas por diversas limitações. Objetivou-se, então, analisar criticamente as limitações dos dados do DATASUS para a sífilis congênita. Uma equipe de saúde de um Hospital Universitário do Sul do Brasil, vinculado à Empresa Brasileira de Serviços Hospitalares, realizou uma revisão da literatura por meio da busca nas bases de dados eletrônicos, como PUBMED, SCOPUS, Web of Science e EMBASE utilizando termos de busca específicos relacionados aos Sistemas de Informação em Saúde, Monitoramento Epidemiológico e Sífilis Congênita, publicados entre janeiro de 2019 a janeiro de 2024, em português, inglês ou espanhol e disponíveis online. Os resultados evidenciaram como limitações a subnotificação de casos, o alto número de dados incompletos e a falta de padronização na coleta de informações. Concluiu-se que essas limitações comprometem a eficácia das estratégias e dificultam o combate à sífilis congênita. É necessário implementação de estratégias para garantir a completude e precisão dos dados registrados no DATASUS, além do aprimoramento das práticas de coleta, registro e análise de informações relacionadas à sífilis congênita.

Lipid disorders are the most common (even 70%) and worst monitored cardiovascular risk factor (only 1/4 of patients in Poland and in CEE countries are on the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goal). To improve this, clear and simple diagnostic criteria should be introduced for all components of the lipid profile. These are the updated guidelines of the two main scientific societies in Poland in the area – the Polish Society of Laboratory Diagnostics (PSLD) and the Polish Lipid Association (PoLA), which, in comparison to those from 2020, introduce few important changes in recommendations (two main lipid targets, new recommendations on LDL-C measurements, calculations new goals for triglycerides, new recommendations on remnants and small dense LDL) that should help the practitioners to be early with the diagnosis of lipid disorders and in the effective monitoring (after therapy initiation), and in the consequence to avoid the first and recurrent cardiovascular events.

Liability of Former Members of the Management Board ofCapital Companies for Public Law Obligations
Authors: Wyjadłowski Piotr
Published: May 2024

The article concerns the complex and multifaceted issue of financial liability of former members of the managementboards of capital companies for the company’s obligations, especially in the context of tax liabilities. Thereis a complexity resulting from intertwined legal regulations contained in the Commercial Companies Code andthe Tax Ordinance. Key issues discussed in the text include: the compensatory nature of liability, differencesbetween the treatment of civil and tax liabilities, and specific legal situations arising from both mistakes and intentionalactions of the management board in the context of obligations. Particular attention was paid to the judgmentof the Constitutional Tribunal, which considered the liability of a former board member and the possibilityof defending against creditors’ claims while simultaneously lacking access to documentation and legal tools afterleaving the position. The final question concerns the impact of this verdict on public law regulations and its applicationin the context of tax law.
Subsidy as an institution increasing the tax base for taxon goods and services – theory and practice
Authors: Kobylski Piotr
Published: May 2024

This study is devoted to the issue of subsidies that may increase the tax base for goods and services tax. Subjectspecificsubsidies or subsidies intended to cover operating costs may have a certain impact on the price of theservices or goods supplied, but ultimately they will not be taken into account in the tax base. Therefore, a thoroughanalysis is needed to decide whether in a given case the subsidy is a benefit that reduces the price or a benefitthat is intended to compensate for the estimated lower amount of revenue. The aim of this study is to attempt ageneral assessment of how to determine that a specific subsidy is included in the basis for calculating the tax ongoods and services.
Jurisdicción indígena en el Ecuador – El conflicto de competencia
Authors: Vega-Montúfar Santiago , Mayorga-Mayorga Estefanía Cristina
Published: May 2024

La relación de la jurisdicción ordinaria e indígena emerge en Ecuador con la Constitución del 2008, donde se reconoce el derecho colectivo de los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas a partir de la plurinacionalidad, determinando su jurisdicción sin desconocer el marco jurídico vigente. Si bien la carta magna no determina detalladamente hasta donde puede actuar la jurisdicción indígena, lo hace de manera general indicando que la misma puede ser practicada en el marco de los Derechos Humanos, generando una divergencia en la aplicación de estos dos sistemas de justicia en un mismo territorio. Por lo tanto, el objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la jurisdicción indígena desde la plurinacionalidad y el Estado de Derecho, estableciendo las diferentes circunstancias de dicha jurisdicción en torno a las personas, materia y territorio. Para el desarrollo de este estudio se utilizó una metodología cualitativa, mediante el uso de doctrina, jurisprudencia y legislación de nuestro país.

Authors: Leones-Zambrano Limberg Freddy , Campoverde-Moscol Amarilis Isabel
Published: May 2024

El artículo aborda el tema de la Educación y Formación Técnica y Profesional (EFTP), según la definición de la UNESCO, como la parte de la educación dedicada a impartir conocimientos y habilidades para el mundo laboral. Se destaca la importancia del Bachillerato Técnico (BT) como una oferta enfocada en áreas técnicas para preparar a los estudiantes para el mercado laboral o continuar estudios superiores.
 
El estudio se centra en analizar la incidencia del Bachillerato Técnico en Producción Agropecuaria en la demanda laboral de la ciudad de Pedernales. Se revisan antecedentes conceptuales e históricos sobre la educación técnica y formación profesional en América Latina, destacando la importancia de estos programas para la inclusión social y el desarrollo económico. La metodología del estudio incluye un enfoque cuantitativo no experimental para analizar el desarrollo de competencias y la demanda laboral de los egresados del BT en Producción Agropecuaria. Los resultados muestran que la mayoría de los egresados adquirieron competencias relevantes, pero una proporción significativa no está trabajando en actividades relacionadas con su formación.
 
Se concluye que, aunque los egresados han adquirido competencias, enfrentan dificultades para encontrar empleo en el campo de la Producción Agropecuaria. Se resalta la importancia de que las instituciones educativas preparen a los estudiantes para el mercado laboral y se sugiere realizar un seguimiento de los egresados para comprender mejor las necesidades del mercado laboral y mejorar la calidad de la formación técnica.
El debido proceso en la fase de ejecución, de juicios ejecutivos en el ordenamiento ecuatoriano
Authors: Manobanda-Chango Giovanni Milton , Montalvo-Ramos Fernando Andrés
Published: May 2024

El debido proceso constituye un derecho fundamental que debe ser garantizado en cualquier procedimiento judicial. La fase de ejecución y los juicios ejecutivos exhiben particularidades significativas. Esto se debe a que estos procesos a menudo no cumplen con todas las formalidades esenciales de un procedimiento legal y, en su lugar, se llevan a cabo según el criterio del funcionario o juez encargado. En la fase de ejecución de juicios ejecutivos, el debido proceso implica que se deben respetar los derechos de todas las partes, incluyendo el demandante y el demandado. Esto incluye el derecho a ser notificado adecuadamente de los procedimientos, el derecho a presentar pruebas y argumentos en su defensa, el derecho a un juicio imparcial y el derecho a impugnar las decisiones judiciales. El propósito central de esta investigación es examinar el cumplimiento del debido proceso en la fase de ejecución de los juicios ejecutivos dentro del marco jurídico ecuatoriano. Para ello, se adoptó un enfoque cualitativo, descriptivo y analítico-explicativo, basado en una revisión documental bibliográfica y un método exegético. Durante la tramitación de los juicios ejecutivos, las instituciones acreedoras persiguen la cancelación de las obligaciones contraídas por los deudores. En este contexto, se ha observado que algunos jueces, quienes desempeñan un rol crucial en estos procesos, han infringido el debido proceso. Los demandados frecuentemente no han ejercido su derecho a la defensa, y las decisiones tomadas han favorecido sistemáticamente a las solicitudes institucionales. Es evidente la necesidad de una regulación específica en la legislación que aborde la fase de ejecución, con el fin de prevenir la violación del derecho al debido proceso y proteger los bienes del procesado.
Halid Ziya ve Tevfik Fikret’te Hissiyatın Takdimi: “Yüce” Nesne ile Karşılaşmalar
Authors: Akdik Bener Hazel Melek
Published: May 2024

1896-1901 yılları arasında varlık gösteren ve kendisinden sonraki edebiyat üzerinde güçlü etkiler bırakan Servet-i Fünun, benzer tema ve imajlara yer veren yazarların oluşturduğu bir edebî topluluktur. Aynı zamanda bir duygu hareketi niteliğindeki Servet-i Fünun’da hissiyatı oluşturan dinamiklerden biri yüceliktir. Bu edebiyatta yüce duygusu, yoğun olarak tabiatın haz ve korku uyandıran yönleriyle betimlendiği manzaralarda açığa çıkmaktadır. Topluluğun iki kurucu ismi Halid Ziya Uşaklıgil ve Tevfik Fikret’in eserlerinde örnekleri görüldüğü üzere yücelik, doğayla ilgili izlek ve motiflerin temerküz ettiği birtakım hatlar oluşturur. Korku, kaygı, dehşet, tutku, hayranlık gibi sınırda deneyimlenen duygular ve bu duyguların doğayla ilişkilendirilerek aktarımı yücenin üretimine dair bir temsil anlayışını işaret etmektedir. Genellikle manzaranın temaşası sırasında açığa çıkan yüce, haz ve korku temelli duyguların yeniden üretimini ve dolaşımını açıklayan estetik bir bağlam yaratmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Kantçı terminolojinin “yüce” kavramsallaştırması ve Burke’ün yüce üzerine görüşleri referans alınarak Halid Ziya ve Tevfik Fikret’in eserlerinde yücenin Servet-i Fünun’daki duygu rejimiyle bağlantısı incelenmektedir.
Mektup Aşkları’nın Duygu Dünyası: Kadınların ve Erkeklerin Mektuplarında Aşk
Authors: Şentürk Semiha , Yücekurt Ünlü Şerife Seda
Published: May 2024

Bu çalışma, Leylâ Erbil’in 1988 yılında yayımlanan Mektup Aşkları romanında “aşk” duygusunun faillerini odağa almaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, mektuplar üzerinden kurgulanan aşkın toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin performansında belirleyici olup olmadığını çözümlemektir. Bu doğrultuda, aşkın, hangi duygu, davranış ve düşünce biçimleriyle birlikte deneyimlendiği tartışılmaktadır. Romanda yazdıkları ya da onlara yazılan mektuplar üzerinden tanıdığımız kadın ve erkek karakterlerin aşk deneyimleri ve bunu dile getiriş biçimleri arasında farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Aydınlanmacı görüşün yarattığı ikilik olan kadınların duygularla erkeklerin akılla özdeşleştirilmesi Mektup Aşkları’nda ters yüz edilir. Kadınlarda akıl-duygu ikiliğinin/karşıtlığının kırıldığı, bunların birbirinin içine geçtiği, dolayısıyla karakterlerin düşünce ve davranışlarında çelişkiler ve çatışmalar yarattığı görülür. Erkek karakterler ise hegemonik erkeklik ve bu kavramın duygularla ilişkisi bağlamında çözümlenmiştir. Erkeklerin birçoğu hegemonik erkeklik normları dışında söylemler geliştiriyormuş gibi görünse de bu söylemler üzerinden erkeklik kalıplarını yeniden üretirler.
Duygularla Yüklü Bir Mekân Olarak Ev: Yaşayan Evlerin Programı “Daire”
Authors: Lordoğlu Ceren
Published: May 2024

Evin duygularla yüklü sosyal bir mekân olarak ele alınması bize sosyal yaşamın görünür olmayan farklı bilgilerini keşfetme imkânı sağlar. Bu da duygular coğrafyası çerçevesinde farklı disiplinlerin kesişiminde çalışabilmekle mümkün olur. Duyguların birey ve kolektif arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık etmede önemli bir rol oynadıklarından hareketle, ev ve ev içi materyal dünya, duygu ve benlik ilişkisine dair önemli ipuçları bulabiliriz. Bu çalışma ile “Daire” adlı Youtube’da yayınlanan ev programının izleyenlerde ne tür duygular uyandırdığı, izleyenlerin evler hakkında ne hissettikleri sorgulanacaktır. Ev güzelleştirme pratiklerinin kişiler için ne ifade ettiği, başkalarının evlerini, beraberinde de yaşamlarını izlemenin izleyenlerde ne tür duygular uyandırdığı, son olarak da programa dair “imrenme, kıyaslama, arzu, öfke” gibi duyguların nasıl ortaya çıktığı, görüşmecilerin anlatımlarıyla değerlendirilip, tartışılacaktır.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar na literatura científica as tecnologias educativas (TE) em saúde voltadas ao cuidado. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico do tipo revisão da literatura acerca da construção de tecnologias em saúde voltadas para o cuidado, o que propicia a análise de um tema sob novo enfoque ou abordagem, inovando com conclusões críticas. Constatou-se que o processo educativo em saúde é um instrumento de socialização de conhecimento, de promoção da saúde e de prevenção de doenças, principalmente no contexto das doenças crônicas. O uso de TE como mediadoras do processo ensino-aprendizagem em ações de educação em saúde, favorece o processo participativo com a comunidade, desde    que as necessidades dos atores sociais seja o ponto de partida para a produção. O uso de TE numa perspectiva emancipatória é não se limitar ao mero uso como um equipamento, mas como o conjunto sistemático de procedimentos que torna possível o planejamento, a execução e a avaliação da educação em saúde e que permite o  indivíduo a pensar, refletir, agir, tornando-o sujeito de seu próprio processo existencial. No que tange ás Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC), introduziram novas formas de interação humana, particularmente no campo educacional, reconfigurando as relações e a didática pedagógica no ambiente digital. Atualmente, as Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC) integram-se à rotina das pessoas, exercendo influência significativa em suas interações diárias. Ao serem incorporadas à educação, essas tecnologias promovem uma transformação no ambiente educacional, destacando a importância de habilidades que possam integrar tanto elementos novos quanto antigos em diversas áreas do conhecimento. Isso é especialmente evidente no ensino superior na área da saúde. Diante desse cenário global em constante evolução, surge a necessidade de um novo perfil por parte dos docentes.
Linear and Nonlinear Electro-optic Response of MHPOCBC
Authors: Fajar Andika , Orihara Hiroshi
Published: May 2024

This study investigated the linear and second-order electro-optic responses in chiral smectic liquid crystal 4-(1-methylheptyloxycarbonyl) phenyl 4-octylcarbonyloxybiphenyl-4-carboxylate (MHPOCBC). The result revealed a single Debye-type relaxation in the linear electro-optic frequency dispersion, with a relaxation frequency extending up to one hundred kHz. Conversely, the second-order electro-optic response exhibited intricate temperature-dependence, accurately depicted by a phenomenological Landau theory around the SmA–SmCa* phase transition point. Notably, in the SmCa* phase, critical slowing down of the amplitude mode occurred near the transition to the SmA phase, while at lower temperatures of the SmCa* phase, a distinct low-frequency relaxation mode emerged. Furthermore, the relaxation frequency of the antiferroelectric Goldstone mode in the SmCA* phase remained constant across the entire temperature range. These findings should significantly contribute to the understanding of dynamic behaviors in chiral smectic liquid crystals, shedding light on their complex phase transitions and electro-optic properties.
The Network
Authors: Von Glahn Denise
Published: May 2024

The chapter explores existing and newly created institutions that combined forces to form a network advantageous to the foundation’s mission and its music fellows. With connections to the Rhodes Scholars program, the Rockefeller Foundation, Columbia University (and through it to the Pulitzer Prize program), the Carnegie Corporation, the Conservatoire Américain, Yaddo, the Oberlaender Trust, Swarthmore College and its connections to the Society of Friends, Surette’s Concord Summer School, and Black Mountain College, among other associations, the foundation positioned itself to benefit from and contribute to a close-knit community of artistic tastemakers and benefactors. the chapter shows that additional connections to prominent people including Nadia Boulanger, Walter Damrosch, and Serge Koussevitzky in the early years and then to Copland and the first fellows created a self-sustaining stream of applicants and winners.
Some Challenges Facing a Deindustrialized Community
Authors: Shackel Paul A.
Published: May 2024

In the late 1990s, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania created Keystone Opportunity Zones, which provide substantial tax incentives for companies to relocate to economically challenged areas. Northeastern Pennsylvania was one of these places. Interviews with Amazon workers provide an overview of the consequences of unorganized labor. With the region’s depopulation, Catholic churches have been consolidated. As a result, there are accusations that the closing of ethnic Catholic churches is a form of ethnic cleansing. The feeling of deep despair has led some residents to deal illegal drugs, while others have become users to escape their feelings of hopelessness. Northeastern Pennsylvania is a ruined landscape with ruined lives. However, the new Latinx community sees it as a place of hope.
Everybody Inherits the Hood
Authors: Wilkins Langston Collin
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on the impact of two spaces of working-class Black life--the “hood” and the “streets”--on the development of Houston’s hip hop heritage. It conceptualizes the streets as a subordinate space within Blacks’ settlement space that is defined by illicit activity and strict codes. Representing space and place functions as a way to acquire respect, but also a way to protect oneself against interpersonal violence. The Houston streets are also a creative space and gave birth to slab car culture and lean use. The screw-based rap artists who developed Houston’s hip hop heritage emerged out of the street and inscribed the music with these aspects of street culture.
One City under God
Authors: Wilkins Langston Collin
Published: May 2024

This chapter analyzes the ways Houston-based Christian hip hop artists engage with local secular hip hop identity because they perceive it to be a useful technique in their ministerial efforts in the streets. On the surface, screw music, slab, and lean appear to be a direct affront to Christian living. As such, one would think that Christian hip hop artists would avoid the local heritage at all costs as it seemingly opposes their ministerial concerns. However, it is quite the opposite as local Christian artists carefully and strategically pull from the screw tradition to connect with potential disciples for whom the music reflects their spatially informed lived experience.
Introduction
Authors: Gooding Jr. Frederick W. , Yellin Eric S.
Published: May 2024

Public sector workers occupy a liminal space where the by-product of their labor is hypervisible, yet they remain conspicuously invisible and taken for granted socially, politically, and economically. The COVID-19 pandemic was a prime example of this dichotomy in U.S. history, as frustrated citizens eager to return to their private enterprises could only do so via the implementation of safeguards by public workers. In fact, few aspects of every civilian’s daily life go untouched by public sector labor. In this book, we seek to peel back the curtain to better understand the relationship not only between the state and the public but also between the public and those select citizens who work for the public’s greater good.
The Road to Memphis
Authors: Jones William P.
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines how Southern sanitation workers transformed public sector unionism in the United States between the 1940s and the 1960s. While the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike is well known as a turning point in the African American civil rights movement, due largely to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. and the alliance between civil rights and labor activists during and after the strike, that moment was one flash point in a long history of militancy by African American public employees in the South. By engaging in strikes and demanding collective bargaining rights in an era when most public sector unions rejected both as overly militant, Black workers set the stage for a broader movement of public employee unionism in the 1960s and 1970s.
Sick-Ins, Feed-Ins, Heal-Ins, and Strikes
Authors: Zanoni Amy
Published: May 2024

This chapter charts a groundswell in labor organizing at Cook County Hospital, Chicago’s only public hospital and a crucial safety net for the city’s marginalized residents, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this period of growing social movement activity, hospital employees responded to poor conditions like severe overcrowding and understaffing by turning to collective action. Hospital workers demanded dignity and accountability from public officials, hospital management, and union leaders. They launched unionization campaigns, fought for racial justice, and protested patronage. They used strikes and other job actions to achieve just wages, safe working conditions, and good patient care. Women workers pioneered these struggles, creating a tradition of organizing for accountability and the public good that shaped the hospital’s history for years to come.
The Meaning of Teachers’ Labor in American Education
Authors: Shelton Jon
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines the work of teachers--and their efforts to organize to improve it--over the course of American history. In the late 1800s, the first teacher union organized in part to protect education from pro-business education reformers. Over the course of the twentieth century, teachers organized to improve salaries and working conditions, building institutional legitimacy in the 1960s and ’70s. Much of this conflict also tied many teachers’ unions to political debates over racial inequality and economic turmoil, and neoliberal reformers used the crisis to push for an education system that would facilitate “human capital,” in turn disciplining teachers. More recently, social democratic teacher unions have fought to reinvigorate broad democratic ideals in public education while breaking down long-standing racial and gender inequalities.
Women's Activist Theatre in Jamaica and South Africa
Authors: Shakes Nicosia
Published: May 2024

Women’s Activist Theatre in Jamaica and South Africa: Gender, Race, and Performance Space asserts that theatre is an essential theoretical and practical site in which decolonial and antiracist thought, Africana feminisms, and womanism are forged. The book is the product of nine years of ethnographic research, from 2013 to 2022. It analyzes Sistren Theatre Collective and the Letters from the Dead project in Jamaica, and the Mothertongue Project and Olive Tree Theatre in South Africa, with a focus on four performance events that they staged from 2009 to 2015. These events were conceived as social justice initiatives and took place as site-specific performances in public spaces and as theatre in marginalized, Black-majority communities. The four organizations and projects are preoccupied with a range of issues, including sexual and other forms of violence, reproductive justice, the need for memorialization and healing, gender equity in the theatre industry, and the spatial manifestations of racial, gender, and economic oppression. The book situates their work within a trajectory of women-led social justice movements established globally from the early 2000s to the present. Women’s Activist Theatre in Jamaica and South Africa contributes to the transnational scholarship on Black/Africana women’s art and activism by focusing on the key pedagogic roles played by theatre events, organizations, and projects.
Empire versus Imperialism
Authors: Çelik Burçe
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on communications development in the Ottoman Empire from Sultan Mahmud’s first attempt at the modernization of postal networks to the final collapse of the empire after World War 1. The chapter introduces the noncapitalist modern communicative space by detailing the transformations of the Ottoman social structure, moral economy, public space (not public sphere), and the popular movements that took place under geopolitically mediated social pressures. Using primary and secondary resources, it shows how the means of communications from journalistic printed media to postal to electronic media (the telegraph and telephone) were used in tandem with the modern transportation infrastructure (such as railways) for political, economic, and social struggles against imperialism and nationalism or to further nationalism, populism, feminism, Islamism, or Ottomanism.
Nation-Building by Communications
Authors: Çelik Burçe
Published: May 2024

This chapter discusses the communicative developments in the nation-building processes of the modern Turkish republic from the period of the liberation war (1918-22) against the partition plans of the Anatolian core of the empire to the end of World War II. It emphasizes that communications were not commodified in this period and shows the contradictory features and implications of Kemalist communications development. These include the (re)production of an egalitarian-populist communicative space in at least some territories of urban and rural Turkey, on the one hand, and the (re)production of an exclusionary nationalist communications realm that aimed for the de-development of Kurdish public space and of dissident communicative practices, on the other. The chapter also investigates the various forms of communicative networks of the era.
Developmentalism and the Militarization of Communications
Authors: Çelik Burçe
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on a highly politicized period for Turkey and Middle Eastern societies linked to the impact of Cold War policies and socialist movements, Turkey’s US alliance, rapid industrialization under US-led and alternative capitalist developmentalism, and mass migration flows. In tracing communicative developments between the mid-1940s and the late 1970s, it discusses the entanglement between the commodification and militarization of communications forces, paying sustained attention to the rise of NATO, CENTO, and various Western arms-producing/communications companies and to the role of the military in the country’s communicative space. The chapter details forms of capitalist-dependent development in communications sectors and attempts to indigenize communications by social movements that developed innovative ways of using the means of communications for their own political ends.
Wiring a New Turkey through Neoliberal and Islamist Populism
Authors: Çelik Burçe
Published: May 2024

The chapter focuses on the highly transformative period for Turkey’s communications field from the late 1990s to the 2010s, during which widespread digitized and commodified communications were reorganized to serve the making and legitimization of a highly oppressive regime. By defining the main characteristics of this new regime under Erdogan as neoliberal-Islamist populism, it considers the ways in which communications were integrated into the new “people-making” projects under neo-Ottoman Islamist policies and redistribution mechanisms under neoliberal social policies, and also the political and economic crises that sharpened oppressive rule. The chapter provides a novel perspective on contemporary forms of right-wing populism that does not reduce populist communications to performativity or style but considers them in relation to substantial, institutional, and material pillars of populist-authoritarian communications.
Everyday Care Activism
Authors: Tungohan Ethel
Published: May 2024

Chapter 5 shifts away from the organization-level focus of previous chapters by examining migrant care workers’ everyday engagements with care activism in their individual lives. By looking at individual migrant care workers’ everyday forms of activism, the chapter uses a “desire-based” framework (Tuck 2009) to show that migrant care workers’ ambitions, hopes, dreams, and desires for themselves and for their families motivate their attempts to subvert stereotypes regarding the inevitably “tragic” circumstances of their lives (Manalansan 2008). It looks at how migrant care workers navigate live-in care work, their relationships with their children and their partners, and their daily encounters with other figures such as immigration officials. It assesses, too, the diverse (and at times contradictory) ways that migrant care workers deliberately and strategically uphold care work as being empowering and therefore worthy of pride but also as only constituting a small part of who they are. They shift discourses surrounding migrant care work by participating in covert acts of workplace rebellions, participating in beauty pageants, and even making jokes with each other about their existing realities. They do these with fellow care workers as a way to form community, where they bond with each other as a result of shared experience. Through these everyday engagements with care activism, what is clear is that migrant care workers are continuously thinking of how their interventions can impact other migrant care workers.

“Scratching and Cutting” analyzes the cycle of Su Friedrich’s early films, made between 1979 and 1982. These films launched her as an avant-garde director. The section argues that Cool Hands, Warm Heart (1979), Scar Tissue (1979), Gently Down the Stream (1981), and But No One (1982) emphasize the performativity of gender and undermine its assumed natural existence. Cool Hands, Warm Heart connects performance art to experimental cinema, while Scar Tissue defines Friedrich’s distinctive rhythmic editing. Gently Down the Stream established Friedrich among the foremost important experimental filmmakers and initiated an autobiographical turn in her work. But No One continues and reinforces her characteristic editing. Taken together, the films define her signature style of scratching into celluloid and cutting the filmstrip.
Digital Embodiments
Authors: Mennel Barbara
Published: May 2024

The final section, “Digital Embodiments,” analyzes four films that Friedrich created in the twenty-first century. The section emphasizes the continuation of her signature style across the analogue to digital divide while also highlighting the possibilities that new media enables, such as the immediate feedback loop. The films, this section argues, respond to the challenges of neoliberalism by focusing on the sick and aging body, the frustrated self, and the displaced ethnic and working-class inhabitants of the urban metropole. Friedrich continues employing biography and subjective perspective to explore political contexts, such as the medical industry in The Odds of Recovery (2002). Her film Seeing Red (2005) uses the format of the video diary to reflect on the process of aging and filmmaking, while Gut Renovation (2012) documents the gentrification of the Brooklyn neighborhood of Williamsburg. After a discussion of I Cannot Tell You How I Feel (2016), the section concludes by emphasizing the significance of Friedrich for the history of experimental cinema, on the one hand, and feminist and lesbian film, on the other.
Precise Joy
Authors: Soares Kristie
Published: May 2024

Chapter 2 looks at the activism of the New York Young Lords Party from 1969 to 1972. It analyzes performances of joy in two aspects of the Young Lords’ media strategy—photography and direct-action campaigns—to examine how they pushed back against the gendered and racialized stereotypes of activists that the mainstream media promoted. The chapter proposes that the feminist interventions of the Women’s Caucus allowed the Young Lords to consider the role affect plays in activism, thus making room for what I term “precise” joy—joy enacted deliberately and with activist purpose. It also warns, however, that while precise joy claimed space for non-traditional performances of gender, access to performing joy was ultimately policed by the same gender norms that the Women’s Caucus fought against
Aliens and Mobs
Authors: Khan Tariq D.
Published: May 2024

This chapter returns to the Congressional Record and looks at the period historians call the “First Red Scare.” It puts the Justice Department’s anarchist deportations that exemplify the so-called “First Red Scare” within the larger context of ethnic cleansing, lynching, border control, and labor control in the US West. It argues in part that extralegal mob violence rooted in settler mythology and practices was the cutting edge of formal US state policy for internal capitalist social control. It discusses examples such as Woodrow Wilson and the Ku Klux Klan, the lynching of Wesley Everest, the lynching of Frank Little, and the Bisbee Deportation, among others.
“Let Your Light Shine to All”
Authors: Smith Gary Scott
Published: May 2024

During her four years at Wellesley College, Hillary Rodham Clinton’s political and religious convictions were strongly challenged and some of them changed. After graduating from Wellesley in 1969, Rodham earned a degree at Yale Law School, where she distinguished herself through her scholarship, internships, and pro bono work. Clinton then worked briefly with the Children’s Defense Fund and on the staff of the House Judiciary Committee, which was investigating the activities of President Richard Nixon. In 1974, she moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas, to be with Bill Clinton, whom she had met at Yale and married in October 1975. After the birth of their daughter Chelsea, Hillary became deeply involved in the life of First United Methodist Church in Little Rock, and her faith motivated some of her activities as Arkansas’s first lady.
The Café Cantante Period: 1860–1920s
Authors: Manuel Peter
Published: May 2024

This chapter covers the early history of flamenco per se, especially as it emerged and flourished throughout Andalusia--and by extension, Madrid and Barcelona--in the contributions of influential artists such as Silverio Franconetti, Antonio Chacon, and Manuel Torre. Further discussed are controversies about the respective roles of Gitanos and non-Gitanos, and the problematic “hermetic theory” that attributes flamenco’s evolution to private Gitano fiestas rather than professional performance contexts. The coalescence of the flamenco repertoire of cantes and guitar styles is outlined, along with the sociocultural milieu that conditioned their evolutionary trajectory, and the way that the art evolved in response to the tastes both of local connoisseurs as well as tourists inspired by exoticizing Romantic ideas about Gypsies.

Perspectives on Flamenco Culture
Authors: Manuel Peter
Published: May 2024

: This chapter explores a set of interpretive themes relevant to modern flamenco culture. One of these is the social geography of the genre, involving the roles of distinctive locales in historical development and contemporary relations, including controversies about the predominance of Andalusia and questions about the relation between rural and urban dimensions. Another section addresses perpetual controversies pertaining to ideals of purity, as opposed to innovation, and the historical role and persistence of notions of authenticity. The chapter also explores questions relating to the aesthetic process of singing, by which vocalists adopt the persona represented by song lyrics. Finally, the status of female performers is discussed, noting their greatly improved prominence and respectability since the advent of democracy in the 1970s.
From Mystery to Medicine
Authors: Huber Hannah L.
Published: May 2024

The introduction argues that Progressive-Era literature singularly defines US sleep culture, revealing how regulations of rest circumscribed social agency, particularly for characters already marginalized by gender, race, class, and sexuality. Engaging with medical, historical, literary, and cultural studies, this chapter traces America’s paradoxical mastery of sleep, redefining the basic, quotidian need as a hindrance to US proficiency. The introduction closes with a description of the book’s digital companion: a website and text visualization tool that provides an interdisciplinary, deconstructed analysis of the book’s primary texts. Using Scalar’s tag visualization tool, the project thematizes embedded annotations through a tagging system defined by sleep-related subtopics. This digital humanities approach allows visitors to explore the texts in whatever way their interests direct them.
Pura Alegría
Authors: Rodriguez Cassaundra , Ayala Celine
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines the student mariachi program in Las Vegas and explores how and why young people participate in this music education program housed in the Clark County School District. Mariachi contributes to a unique and compelling process of musical place making, as this music scene offers possibilities and connections for young Mexican American/Latino musicians and Las Vegan community members in general. The mariachi music scene in Las Vegas is not necessarily taking place in the dazzling settings of the Strip but in school classrooms and auditoriums, restaurants, airports, parks, and private homes where people live, sing, play, and love.
Crossroads of Desires
Authors: Sdunzik Jennifer
Published: May 2024

Against the backdrop of the Great Migration, this chapter delineates that Black Americans existed in small-town America and how they were written out of the midwestern landscape and the stories about the Great Migration. It juxtaposes African Americans’ desire for land and small-town life with white attitudes and policies that undermined and prevented Black settlement in the same space, explaining why most Black southerners ended up in the big northern cities despite rural desires. Relevant historical materials discussed include The Negro Motorist Green Book, migration letters, and U.S. census data.
Erasing Histories A Black Church and a White Pool
Authors: Sdunzik Jennifer
Published: May 2024

The Geography of Hate maps three distinct, yet intricately interwoven manifestations of white spatial desires: erasure, silence, and memories. This chapter explores erasure as a mechanism Hoosiers used to manifest their white desires in their communities. Erasure of Black traces in their communities, as evidenced by omitting Black community members from public memorials and destroying Black spaces, illustrates how Indiana communities mastered erasure to the extent that residents no longer “recall” their county ever having a Black history. Examples discussed include selective consultation of U.S. census data and county histories as well as upholding local truisms.
Silencing Memories White Desires and Black Terror
Authors: Sdunzik Jennifer
Published: May 2024

This chapter not only documents how Indiana figuratively and literally became white, but it also captures how people explain white supremacy away. It shows how, by silencing and negating this history, Indiana communities automatically absolve themselves from playing any role in their all-white surroundings. The chapter delineates omissions and deflections of white wrongdoings as well as lackadaisical attempts to own the ugly parts of white Hoosier history. Examples of silenced moments discussed in the chapter include the KKK and NHTDA history, restrictive covenants, and sundown towns.
He Shall Set His Hand Again the Second Time
Authors: Spencer Joseph M.
Published: May 2024

This chapter, building on the two preceding it, turns to the second of three Isaiah texts privileged in the writings of Nephi within the Book of Mormon. This prophecy concerns God’s setting his hand again “the second time” to recover Israel from its dispersion. It appears in the Book of Mormon context primarily within the context of an extremely long quotation (of thirteen chapters) of Isaiah, which has its own narrative arc and a set of idiosyncrasies introduced into the text by the Book of Mormon. Outside the long quotation, the passage is used to articulate the multiple fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecies. This treatment of Isaiah contrasts in key ways with dominant nineteenth-century uses known to early readers of the Book of Mormon.
