Coda
Authors: Shakes Nicosia
Published: May 2024

The coda provides an account of the recent work of Sistren, Mothertongue, Letters from the Dead, and Olive Tree Theatre, and it discusses women-led activisms from an African and African Diasporic transnational perspective. It uses an impactful performance done at a march to support survivors of sexual violence in Jamaica in 2017 as a point of departure to underscore the importance of performance in womanist, feminist, and decolonial knowledge-making in Africa and the African Diaspora.
Social Voices
Authors: Gibbs Levi S.
Published: May 2024

This book is about professional singers from around the world who become topics for discussions regarding a range of cultural politics. Bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars of anthropology, sociology, literature, music, ethnomusicology, and performance studies, it explores how singers of different genres have come to represent regions, nations, groups of people, and historical moments while simultaneously becoming rich sites through which to consider questions of individual and collective identities. Through introductory essays and chapters organized into four thematic sections—the politics of authenticity and iconity; race, gender, ethnicity, and class; multiplicities of representations; and singers and songs as interweaving narratives—the volume shows how singers negotiate their personas and performances toward different audiences: giving voice to communities, even as they critique the stereotypes associated with those representations; pushing back against various powers that be, even as they themselves are empowered over others; and shifting their onstage, sung identities through choices in language and allusions to their own lives and the lives of the songs they sing. Taken as a whole, the volume argues that by examining the cultural politics surrounding these and other professional singers around the world, we come to see multiple, ongoing debates about who we are, who we are not, and where we belong.
Introduction
Authors: Gibbs Levi S.
Published: May 2024

The introduction to this edited volume suggests that professional singers from around the world who become topics for discussions regarding a range of cultural politics form rich sites through which to consider questions of individual and collective identities. Arguing that singers’ performances simultaneously mean different things to different audiences, it uses the case study of Jennifer Lopez performing a Woody Guthrie song at the 2021 U.S. presidential inauguration to highlight divergent social conversations and identity politics that surrounded her performance. It then outlines the four thematic sections into which the volume’s chapters are organized—the politics of authenticity and iconity; race, gender, ethnicity, and class; multiplicities of representations; and singers and songs as interweaving narratives.
Challenging the Divide Between Elite and Mass Cultures
Authors: Guy Nancy
Published: May 2024

Contending with racism, sexism, regionalism, and misogynoir—a distinct form of racialized misogyny directed towards Black women, girls, and femmes—Black women in the mainstream music industry face distinct barriers in becoming forces in the music industry. This chapter not only explores Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter becoming pop music royalty, but also grapples with how and why Beyoncé encountered, broke down, and transcended the numerous barriers Black women face in an industry rooted in exploiting, discarding, and devaluing Black women’s artistry. It ponders: when were her Blackness, womanhood, and Southern-ness deemed liabilities or flaws to be masked or rendered hyper-visible? It suggests that Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s stardom illuminates both the possibilities and the limitations of an industry still struggling with valuing the talent of Black women.
Afterword
Authors: Wald Elijah
Published: May 2024

This chapter looks at several generations of South African women singers, including Miriam Makeba (1932–2008), Sathima Bea Benjamin (1936–2013), Sibongile Khumalo (1957–2021), Melanie Scholtz (b. 1979), and King Tha/Thandiswa Mazwai (b. 1976), who, during and after apartheid, negotiated various ideas of home and away in their lives and voices amid shifting senses of history, politics, language, gender, and memory. By juxtaposing earlier singers who developed their careers in the United States during the apartheid era with recent singers who have chosen to base themselves in South Africa, the chapter highlights shifting power relations at home and abroad spanning the Global North and the Global South, along with contingent, evolving notions of diasporic identity, belonging, and unbelonging.
Scaling Up Care Activism in Transnational Spaces
Authors: Tungohan Ethel
Published: May 2024

Chapter 3 discusses transnational organizing by two migrant caregiver organizations in Canada. It focuses specifically on their participation in the deliberations in 2010 and in 2011 leading up to the creation of the Convention on Domestic Work at the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, and the 2011 International Migrants Alliance in Manila, Philippines. It addresses the dynamics that these organizations encountered in transnational spaces and highlights the various negotiations representatives of these organizations had to make when considering what care and care activism should look like when scaled up. It also highlights how these organizations carve out spaces in these international fora to make sure that activists were heard.
Care Activism in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore
Authors: Tungohan Ethel
Published: May 2024

Chapter 4 scrutinizes how migrant care worker organizations care for migrant care workers within different policy contexts. It shows how migrant care workers care for each other when they are seen primarily as remittance senders and not as human agents (as in the case of the Philippines, which is a migrant-sending state), when facing policy environments where there are ample openings for civic involvement but where permanent residency rights remain elusive (as in the case of Hong Kong), and when there are draconian restrictions against migrant mobility and migrant organizing (as in the case of Singapore). This chapter probes the different dynamics that characterize migrant activism within these distinct national contexts, ultimately showing that regardless of these variations between migrant care worker organizations in different locations, they are all similar in the way they intentionally create communities of care for migrant care workers.
Cia Cultural Battlegrounds
Authors: Horowitz Joseph
Published: May 2024

Nicolas Nabokov confronted Shostakovich at the 1949 Waldorf Astoria “Peace Conference” in New York. He was aligned with a “counterconference” organized by Sidney Hook. This event led to the creation of the Congress for Cultural Freedom; Michael Josselson of the CIA was a key mover, and Nabokov became the “impresario of the cultural Cold War.” Nabokov’s grand undertaking was the Paris Festival of 1952 (“Masterpieces of the Twentieth Century”)—which proved too tendentious and ideological to realize its propaganda purposes. My findings here align with those of Frances Stonor Saunders in her influential study of the CCF.
Enter Cultural Exchange
Authors: Horowitz Joseph
Published: May 2024

Beginning with Leonard Bernstein’s visit to the USSR with his New York Philharmonic in 1959, cultural diplomacy, via the State Department, displaced the CIA/CCF as a superior tool for influencing hearts and minds. Rather than espousing a “propaganda of freedom,” Bernstein sought to build bridges—and did. At the same time, his visit was mired in ironies invisible to him. When Alexandr Medvedev, in a notorious review, called Bernstein’s remarks from the stage “immodest,” Bernstein perceived Medvedev as a kneejerk propagandist. In fact, Bernstein got better reviews in Moscow than he did in New York. The Russian resistance to his speeches, and to the neoclassical Stravinsky he championed, cannot be written off as ideological. During the cultural Cold War, mutual misunderstanding was rife.
Auteurism Expanded
Authors: Mennel Barbara
Published: May 2024

“Auteurism Expanded” in Su Friedrich provides an overview of experimental filmmaker Su Friedrich’s career. It traces her oeuvre from 16 mm film in the late 1970s to digital video in the early twenty-first century. Outlining the book’s objective to define her style across technological, aesthetic, and political transformations, “Auteurism Expanded” offers an understanding of auteurism. This notion takes into account conditions of film production and distribution, as well as commitments to social movements, critical traditions, and communities. This first section posits Friedrich’s biography as a defining influence on her work. Following a discussion of the titles of her films, it concludes with an outline of the book.
Republicans and Anarchists
Authors: Khan Tariq D.
Published: May 2024

This chapter argues that 1877 was as much a turning point for the working class as it was for the bourgeoisie. It focuses on the lives of Albert Parsons and Lucy Parsons, both of whom existed in the very center of the US history of white supremacy, enslavement, settler colonization, Reconstruction, the violent death of Reconstruction, the labor movement, revolutionary socialism, anarchism, insurgency, and counterinsurgency. US empire, settler colonialism, class war, and Black and Indigenous resistance influenced how Albert and Lucy Parsons imagined freedom and how they articulated and understood their own struggles against capitalism and the state.
“The Problem of the Proletariat and the Colonial Problem”
Authors: Khan Tariq D.
Published: May 2024

Aimé Césaire wrote that the ascendance of the bourgeoisie gave rise to two major problems: “the problem of the proletariat and the colonial problem.” So much of this book has been the violent story of agents of US capitalism and the state attempting to deal with these two problems, and doing so as though these two problems were one in the same. Another way of saying this is that the way the United States dealt with the “problem of the proletariat” was deeply informed and shaped by how it dealt with the “colonial problem.” The chapter concludes the book and points toward some of its implications for scholars and social movements.
Flamenco Music
Authors: Manuel Peter
Published: May 2024

Given the international renown and popularity of flamenco, including in the Anglophone world, there has been a surprising dearth of English-language publications on flamenco. This volume is a genre study, constituting the first rigorously scholarly book in English--or, for that matter, in any language--to cover all significant aspects of flamenco music, including history, formal analysis, and important relevant social issues and concepts. It draws on the abundant Spanish literature on flamenco produced in recent decades, while offering the author’s own perspectives and manner of presentation. Flamenco Music comprises three sections, roughly equal in length. The first covers flamenco history and prehistory, from the genre’s roots in the Moorish period to the present day. Both musicological aspects and sociocultural context are covered. The second section comprises formal and stylistic analysis of flamenco music, including descriptions, with musical examples, of distinctive stylistic features, and of all the important cantes or song-types (with guitar accompaniment patterns) in the repertoire. Flamenco lyrics are also discussed in a separate chapter. The third section provides an ethnography of the modern scene (performance contexts, pedagogy, the internet, globalization etc.), and explores various sociocultural themes and issues, such as debates about tradition versus innovation, gender, the ideology of authenticity, the aesthetic process of singing, and the role of Gitanos (Gypsies) in relation to non-Gitanos.
The Contemporary Scene
Authors: Manuel Peter
Published: May 2024

This chapter, along with the subsequent one, situates flamenco in its broader sociocultural context. Chapter 7 discusses aspects of the current scene, commencing with typical performance contexts (especially tablaos, competitions, peñas, and summer festivals). The impact of tourism and arguments about its positive and negative effects are assessed. Flamenco pedagogy, including the diverse means of learning the art, is surveyed. The history and importance of commercial records are discussed, as is the impact of the internet and the “Web 2.0” era in general. Finally, the transnational dimension of flamenco as a global genre is outlined, with special attention to the USA and some particular cities--especially New York--therein.
Lowell L. Bennion
Authors: Handley George B.
Published: May 2024

Lowell L. Bennion (1908-96) was one of Mormonism’s most notable humanitarians and educators and certainly its premier ethicist. This book provides a brief biography of Bennion and then examines his major writings, including manuals he produced for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the 1930s to the 1960s, as well as the independently published books he wrote in the final decades of his life. For his fellow Latter-day Saints and their church, Bennion offered a comprehensive understanding of the primacy and divinity of the human personality and argued for a rational faith that partnered religious and secular values. He also demonstrated how and why these ideas should be conducive to service and informed by Christian social morality. Influenced by his study of Max Weber and his careful reading of scripture, he sought to mitigate dogmatism, anti-intellectualism, authoritarianism, and other religious temptations that could compromise believers’ chances for an adventurous life of faith, learning, and service. He offered prophetic and loving warnings to inspire Mormonism not just to survive but thrive in the modern world. In addition to assessing the strengths of his most significant ideas in the context of Christian modernism, this study also explores implications for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its ambitions for religious education today.
Social Morality
Authors: Handley George B.
Published: May 2024

This chapter defines Lowell Bennion’s concept of social morality in relation to political ideologies, economic and social structures, and the role of the church in the civic sphere. A Latter-day Saint should be unapologetically protective of human rights, opposed to racism and other forms of bigotry, and committed to civic engagement and service beyond the walls of church life. Members should be aware of both the virtues and potential vices of self-reliance. Inspired by the work of Albert Schweitzer and Weber’s understanding of ethical monotheism and of the prophetic role in scripture, Bennion invoked Old Testament ethics and New Testament principles to warn about the risks of indifference toward the suffering of others and the dangers of polarization.
“A Great Blaze of Electric Light”
Authors: Huber Hannah L.
Published: May 2024

This chapter assesses the pathological restlessness of the New Woman figure in Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth (1905). Wharton’s authentic renderings uncannily precede recent discoveries in sleep medicine. Lily Bart’s sleeplessness, for example, is symptomatic of “sleep debt,” in which prolonged wakefulness leads one to collapse into undesired sleep states. Her reliance on sleep aids and caffeine are symptomatic of Gilded Age class oppression, in which incessant social duties are forced on Lily yet eschewed by the novel’s more privileged characters. Critiquing cultural efforts to maximize time, Wharton’s literary naturalism explores the temporality of determinism, presenting a social world that will not accommodate the time that Lily needs to rest and restore herself.
The Master and the Mob
Authors: Quinn Arianne Johnson
Published: May 2024

Sir Noël Pierce Coward (1899-1973), British playwright, songwriter, actor, and writer, is remembered in Britain and the United States for his songs, plays, and film appearances. Known early on as a rival of Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, and others, he holds a curious place in the world of American entertainment. His brief four-week run as a Vegas cabaret artist at the famed Desert Inn raised questions of taste, respectability, and the limits of highbrow culture in 1950s America. This chapter explores the intermingled aspects of Coward’s performative identity on the Vegas stage, situating his cabaret act within his other late works and the style and aesthetic of 1950s Las Vegas.
Shall We Go for It?
Authors: Murray Sam
Published: May 2024

Céline Dion’s A New Day . . . residency in Las Vegas has become a show not only defining the French Canadian chanteuse’s career but through parody and satire has begun to redefine how the world understands and engages with her. Dion’s performer-audience interactions give us glimpses into her personality and humanity, but can often be quite bizarre in nature when examined outside of the confines of Las Vegas. This chapter examines and analyzes key performer-audience interactions from the A New Day . . . residency to explore how they have constructed new meanings in Dion’s relationships with her audience. While Las Vegas itself is often a parody of the “real world” with its celebrity impersonators and replicas of landmarks, this time a focus is placed on what happens when a product of Vegas itself is reflected, subjected to satire and parody, and replicated outside of its borders.
“For Adult Audiences Only”
Authors: Niebur Louis
Published: May 2024

This chapter outlines a history of LGBTQ artists in Las Vegas in the postwar years through case studies of performers who challenged traditional notions of gender and sexuality onstage as an integral part of their act. From the largest stages of the Strip to the smaller-scale environment of the Las Vegas supper-club circuit, these performances serve as examples of a kind of visual and sonic camp spectacle that presented alternative sexualities through same-gendered song dedications, costuming, and modes of jazz and popular music performance that contradicted their assumed gender presentation. These artists capitalized on Las Vegas’s reputation for adult spectacle to offer straitlaced audiences a chance to experience, however vicariously, different kinds of gender and sexuality.

It details the interdisciplinary methodology and approach necessary to conduct this study.
Introduction
Authors: Marinos Martin
Published: May 2024

The introduction presents an overview of the Bulgarian right-wing populist parties, describes their close relationship with media, and situates them within the global rise of populism. The broader context of neoliberal hegemony and the traditional left-wing parties’ failure to counter it is one of the most persuasive explanations for the appeal of populism. The introduction discusses the applicability of this narrative to Bulgaria, while it also emphasizes the centrality of racism to the East European Far Right. This conceptual section ends with an outline of how a political economy approach to media enhances our understanding of populism. The introduction concludes with a methodology section that describes the archival research, the ethnographic visits to Bulgarian media outlets, and the selection of media professionals interviewed for this book.
Social Justice Journalism and Cultural Enlightenment
Authors: Marinos Martin
Published: May 2024

This chapter provides a brief history of socialist media that offers the necessary background for the analysis of the postsocialist media transformations in the following five chapters. The discussion focuses on two progressive features of the socialist communication system. It argues that their eradication after 1989 contributed to the formation of a public sphere hospitable to Far Right discourse. First, the chapter examines socialist media’s commitment to cultural enlightenment and education. Second, it explores the socialist journalist’s role as a social justice advocate who represented the common people in their interactions with the institutions. The chapter situates these two features within the post-Stalinist ideological shift toward socialist (or Marxist) humanism.
Media Concentration and Right-Wing Populism’s Love-Hate Relationship with the Media
Authors: Marinos Martin
Published: May 2024

This chapter focuses on two of Bulgaria’s most powerful businessmen, Delyan Peevski and Ivo Prokopiev, and their powerful media empires. Drawing on ethnographic observation, the chapter examines the operations of Peevski’s media group, whose collapse in 2014 almost crashed the Bulgarian economy. The second part of the chapter shifts the attention to Economedia, a media company owned by Prokopiev and supported by the neoconservative foundation America for Bulgaria. It is argued that the colonization of media by capitalists has eroded the trust in mainstream media and legitimized the populist Right’s criticisms of media institutions. At the same time, the chapter shows that even the most extreme right-wing populists do not scruple to forge alliances with the most corrupt features of the concentrated media system.
Tradition and Innovation
Authors: Spencer Joseph M.
Published: May 2024

This chapter builds on its predecessor by comparing the chief interpretations of Isaiah in the Book of Mormon’s earliest interaction with the prophet—attributed to the character Abinadi—to the larger history of Isaiah’s reception. Aspects of Abinadi’s interpretations echo patristic interpretations of Isaiah, especially when he takes Isaiah’s talk of “generation” to refer to the Incarnation of God in Christ. These aspects would have struck the Book of Mormon’s earliest readers as quaintly traditional, since they had largely fallen out of favor by the 1820s in the West. Other aspects of Abinadi’s interpretations are unique in the interpretive tradition, however, especially the idea that Isaiah calls pre-Christian prophets and their followers the seed of the Messiah. Abinadi is simultaneously traditional and nontraditional.
A New Direction at the Meridian of Time
Authors: Spencer Joseph M.
Published: May 2024

This chapter examines the shape of the Book of Mormon’s second major interaction with the biblical Book of Isaiah, uses of Isaiah placed in the mouth of the resurrected Jesus Christ. At the Book of Mormon’s climax, Christ visits the volume’s New-World peoples and predicts latter-day events surrounding the gathering of scattered Israel. Attaching this to the prophecies of Isaiah, the Book of Mormon’s Christ sets forth an interpretive strategy for the prophet, focusing on Isaiah 52 and 54. In contrast with earlier parts of the volume, Christ alters the text of Isaiah from its biblical version. This the Book of Mormon complexly weaves into explorations of the language, style, and theology of the New Testament’s Gospel of John, developing a Johannine understanding of Isaiah.

Authors: Dawar Pushplata , Thomas Moni , Nair Akhil , Ghosh Sheela , Ali Rustam , Vani Gourav Kumar , Bhan Manish , Tripathi Niraj
Published: May 2024

Butterflies are important bio-indicators that should be protected to conserve the biodiversity and environment. They play an important role in the food chain and are valuable pollinators in the local environment. The present study investigated and compared the butterfly abundance and diversity within two different habitats (i) Undisturbed and (ii) Disturbed, in Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Campus, Jabalpur Madhya Pradesh. A total of 24 butterfly species were recorded during the study from June 2022 to July 2023 using transects with the aid of sweep nets. An overall total of 2537 butterflies were recorded, which spread across 05 families 17 genera and 23 species. The most abundant family of butterflies caught in undisturbed ecosystems was Pieridae 38% followed by Nymphalidae 27%, Lycaenidae 14%, Papilionidae and Hesperiidae 7%. In disturbed ecosystems butterflies were distributed as Pieridae being dominated with 52% followed by Lycaenidae at 22%, Nymphalidae at 16%, Hesperiidae at 7% and Papilionidae at 3%. The undisturbed habitat was more diversified (H’-1.59) in butterfly diversity than the disturbed habitat (H’- 1.20).
ALTERNATIVAS PARA A DECOLONIZAÇÃO DOS MODELOS DE GESTÃO DAS UNIVERSIDADES BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Palmeiras Jenifer de Brum , Palmeiras Graciela de Brum
Published: May 2024

O artigo aborda alternativas para a decolonização dos modelos de gestão das universidades brasileiras, considerando as opções tradicionais públicas e as novas privadas com ou sem fins lucrativos. No contexto das universidades brasileiras, o modelo tradicional público envolve instituições de ensino superior financiadas pelo Estado e voltadas para o interesse público. Essas universidades geralmente são mantidas com recursos governamentais e oferecem ensino gratuito ou com custos acessíveis. No entanto, esse modelo pode ser criticado por ser influenciado por estruturas coloniais que perpetuam desigualdades e privilégios. Por outro lado, há uma crescente presença de universidades privadas no Brasil, algumas das quais operam sem fins lucrativos. Essas instituições dependem de recursos privados, como mensalidades e doações, para financiar suas atividades. O surgimento dessas universidades privadas pode ser visto como uma alternativa ao modelo público tradicional, buscando maior autonomia e flexibilidade na gestão acadêmica. A questão da decolonização se refere a superar a influência do colonialismo nos sistemas de ensino superior, que podem perpetuar visões de mundo e estruturas de poder eurocêntricas. A decolonização dos modelos de gestão acadêmica busca promover uma abordagem mais inclusiva e diversa, dando voz a diferentes perspectivas e valorizando conhecimentos e culturas marginalizadas. As alternativas para a decolonização dos modelos de gestão acadêmica incluem a implementação de políticas de ação afirmativa para aumentar a representatividade de grupos historicamente excluídos, a valorização de conhecimentos e práticas indígenas e afrodescendentes, a inclusão de saberes locais e populares nos currículos, a criação de espaços de diálogo e participação comunitária, entre outras medidas. Em resumo, as alternativas para a decolonização dos modelos de gestão das universidades brasileiras envolvem repensar tanto o modelo tradicional público quanto o novo privado com/sem fins lucrativos, visando promover uma educação superior mais inclusiva, diversa e engajada com as necessidades e perspectivas da sociedade brasileira.

4 - China in Africa with New Approach of Media Development
Authors: Memon Najamul Saqib , Sandano Imran Ali
Published: May 2024

Mass media has not only changed the mode of information-sharing but has also changed the mode of policy, foreign policy-making and people-to- people contact in being used as a means of soft power. This paper focuses on Chinese investment in the media sector of African countries and explores what motivates China’s huge investments in the African media landscape. The study is descriptive, based on primary and secondary sources of literature. Methodologically, it uses qualitative research through content analysis of ‘soft power politics’ and ‘public diplomacy’ theories. China’s media development assistance in Africa is a manifestation of the Chinese strategy of soft power politics and the application of public diplomacy. This study claims that China’s media development assistance programme is helping Africa to develop its media infrastructure, techniques of broadcasting and cultural exchanges, which influence African public opinion and offer media content that is entirely different from Western-dominated media groups. In return, this helps China to promote a positive image and win the hearts and minds of people on the African continent.
In vitro antimalarial therapeutic interventions using various combinations of antibiotics and standard antimalarials against multi drug resistant Indian field isolates of Plasmodium falciparum
Authors: Pooja Agarwal
Published: May 2024

Resistance to antimalarials is considered to be major cause of increased malaria morbidity and mortality. Present study was undertaken to explore an effective drug combination against selected mutant parasite various combinations using standard antimalarials {Chloroquine diphosphate (CQ), Quinine (QUIN), Mefloquine (MQ), Piperaquine (PPQ), Artemether (ARTM), Arteether (ARTE), Dihydro-artemisinin (DHA), Lumefantrine (LUME)and Atovaquone (ATQ)} belonging to three different classes and two antibiotics, Azithromycin (AZI) and Doxycycline (DOXY) have been tried against K1 (chloroquine-resistant) and 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) strains as well as selected arteether torelant parasite (MZRI-R) and field isolates (MZRI & MZRII)  of P. falciparum. SYBR Green I fluorescence (MSF) assay was used to determine IC50 values. Results of present studies highlighted that all the combinations used exhibited additive effect with varying intensity depending upon the drug ratios used. We also observed that combination of ARTM plus LUME was more advantageous than DOXY plus DHA/CQ and AZI plus CQ/ATQ for treatment of multidrug resistant parasites whereas combinations of LUME plus PPQ, ATQ plus DOXY/AZI can be used for treatment of CQ resistant parasite.
Enron’s Collapse and the Emergence of a New Magnitude of Ethics within Corporate Governance
Authors: Nazeen Dil Rowshan Zinnat Ara , Sarker Shosunth Chandra , Andalib Tarnima Warda
Published: May 2024

In this study, it is argued that the collapse of a single company – Enron – in the USA represented one of the most crucial factors underlying the emergence of ethics with a new dimension in the global business strategy. Enron, one of the most profitable companies in the USA in 1990s, experienced a completely unprecedented disaster and the ensuing investigations revealed that a lack of ethical integrity among the high officials was one of the most crucial reasons for the downfall of such an established company. Shortly after Enron collapse, a number of companies in different countries faced similar consequences and a crucial factor that they all appeared to share was unethical practices. The core aim of this study is to explore how the think-tanks in the corporate world made a quick response regarding the development of the ethical practices within the activities of corporations and how ethics gained greater magnitude within the administration of business activities. To achieve this aim, we undertook a comprehensive content analysis of the relevant secondary data substantiated by a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) attended by academics working in the field of corporate governance, in order to gain relevant insights in the study objectives. The scholarly views of the individuals who participated in the FGD, we believe, can add value to our results by enriching the study. The study findings suggest that the downfall of Enron immediately and hugely contributed towards raising the profile of ethics and the introduction of a series of ethical codes regarding corporate performances.
The Sufis and the Literati in Contemporary Bengal: A Portrayal of the ‘Other’ in their own Spheres
Authors: Mostofa Mamun Al , Ahsan Abu Hossain Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Sufis are generally appreciated for their role in the Islamization of Bengal. However, they have begun to be criticized by the proponents of more orthodox Islamic revivalism. Although the Sufis’ relationship with the revivalists have been studied from a myriad of perspectives, the former’s relationship with the English-educated middle class of Bengal has so far remained unexamined. By analysing Pir-related literary works in the Bangla language, this article argues that Sufi-Pirs were, in the main, negatively portrayed in the dominant discourse that prevailed among the more educated sections of society in Bengal (now Bangladesh). In the face of such negative portrayals, some recent Sufis have adopted counterstrategies to prevent further assaults on their image by popular authors and activists.
Pucara versus Fortress
Authors: Chamussy Vincent , Housse Romuald
Published: May 2024

In chapter 4, “Pucara versus Fortress: Defensive Arrangements during the Late Intermediate Period on the Coast and Sierra of the Central Andes,” Chamussy and Housse provide an in-depth study of the characteristics of coastal fortresses and sierra pucaras on a cross-regional scale in order to understand the location, importance, and the particular military characteristics of these defensive structures during the LIP. It is well documented that the Late Intermediate Period (LIP), that preceded the expansion of the Inca Empire, was profoundly divided and marked by conflicts and warfare. During this period, political instability in both coastal and sierra areas led to the adoption of dissimilar defensive structures. Called pucara in the Andes and fortresses on the Peruvian coast, both terms seem to convey the same archaeological reality: highly strategic and defensive sites. This intriguing duplicity of terms led the authors to analyze whether this duplicity was a mere semantic artifact or did it reflect a conceptual difference between the coastal fortresses and the sierra pucaras. While researchers have documented the military roles and functions of the coastal fortresses employed against the Chimú or Inka, there is no consensus on the military roles and functions of the hilltop pucara.
War or Peace on the Central Coast?
Authors: Eeckhout Peter , Owens Lawrence Stewart
Published: May 2024

In chapter 5, “War or Peace on the Central Coast? Questioning Metanarratives of Late Intermediate Period Mobocracies on the Basis of Ychsma Evidence from Pachacamac, Peruvian Central Coast,” Eeckhout and Owens systematically analyze the evidence for conflict and violence in the pre-hispanic cultures of ancient Peru, in order to contextualize a particular case study: the site of Pachacamac. This multi-pronged investigation includes a review of archaeological data (weapons, fortifications), iconography, bioarchaeology (traumatic lesions) and ethnohistorical data. The authors develop an interpretational framework to examine how these disparate data streams can be reconciled in order to clarify the social and environmental correlates of traumatic pathology, and to differentiate the signatures engendered by all levels of violence from the inter-personal (conflict; domestic abuse) to the socio-cultural (ritual violence) and the state-sanctioned (battles and wars).
Contemplating Domination
Authors: Kim Nam C.
Published: May 2024

Drawing from the theoretical literature of international relations studies and political science, in chapter 8, “Contemplating Domination,” Kim comments on the information put forth in this volume by way of two main categories: “Appropriation of Institutions” and “Hidden in Plain Sight.” The former refers to leadership strategies whereas the latter deals with aspects of archaeological data that reflect such strategies. With the former, local systems of ideology and ritual practice are appropriated by elites or the “state” to further specific political agendas. With the latter, Kim highlights how organized violence and warfare may be intertwined with everyday social life, thus making it difficult for archaeologists to document them as manifestations of domination. Leaders may employ a myriad of strategies and practices of power to manufacture and maintain various forms of inequality, social organization, and political authority. While sometimes difficult to identify, Kim points out that such complex leadership strategies can be detected within the material record.

The Revolutionary War Battle of Chestnut Neck in New Jersey involved a series of intense skirmishes between British Marines and colonial militia that lasted nearly two weeks in October 1778. British officials, infuriated by privateers capturing merchant vessels along the southern New Jersey coast, attempted to disrupt what was an important supply line for the colonial army. The attack on the Port of Chestnut Neck resulted in the sinking of 10 vessels, creating a submerged battlefield along the Mullica River in what is now the town of Port Republic. Largely forgotten for more than two centuries, a group of recreational scuba divers working with archaeologists discovered the cluster of shipwrecks, resulting in its designation as a State Historic Site. Recent sonar mapping revealed several additional undiscovered shipwrecks from that battle. Citizen scientists consisting of mainly students, local sport divers, residents, and members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution are now learning how to research, survey, map, and preserve the shipwrecks on this historic battlefield. These proactive citizens have become stewards for historic preservation, working as collaborators with professional archaeologists and scientists and researchers at Stockton University.
The Ties That Bind
Authors: Cearns Jennifer
Published: May 2024

Chapter 2 contextualizes the trajectories of material flows between Cuba and the Miami diaspora within Cuban systems of kinship, to show how these material flows are key to the creation and maintenance of notions of relatedness and Cuban identity both at home and abroad. An examination of ties of relatedness through this lens of social-material remittances provides us with new ways of envisaging kinship and personhood across national borders, and the way these are constructed and affirmed through the circulation of material goods in a geopolitical context where things must often move in the stead of people. The chapter charts one family’s story over several decades to understand how their notion of relatedness has expanded and grown closer since the exile of the two key matriarchal figures, and argues that material care is a key aspect of gendered family life in a Cuban context.

Smoke on the Water
Authors: Gutiérrez Guillermo , Frere Julieta
Published: May 2024

The second half of the nineteenth century was a period of significant technological transformation of commercial navigation. The massive incorporation of steam propulsion and the use of metal in ships’ hulls set the end of wooden and sailing vessels. As a result, a new generation of ships began fulfilling the task of supplying the Patagonian population and extracting local production. This chapter aims to provide a more precise characterization of the naval technology of the Presidente Roca steamer, to accomplish a better understanding of these kinds of ships.
Commentary
Authors: Varma Supriya
Published: May 2024

This brief comment describes the role that the chapters in this volume have in correcting an implicit bias in the field of historical archaeology toward the Americas and on periods after 1500 CE. The intervention documented here is twofold. First, historical archaeology with a focus in South Asia and the Indian Ocean requires that researchers extend scales of analysis along temporal and spatial dimensions to decenter Atlantic World narratives in discussions of the modern world. Second, there are questions introduced in the fields of historical archaeology, especially along the dimensions of gender, indigeneity, and the marginalized that archaeologies of South Asia would benefit from engaging.
New Cultures of the Cosmonaut
Authors: Lewis Cathleen S.
Published: May 2024

The Soviet state ensured there was a heavy emphasis on communicating their material accomplishments to the domestic audience. There was a desire to expand on methods beyond newspaper, radio, and other media reports to deliver the message of the Red Stuff and to focus on a tangible and personal involvement in this new culture to have a convincing and enduring impact. The USSR invoked new methods to guide the population to absorb the Red Stuff as part of the national consciousness. The Soviet state franchised the expression of the Red Stuff in three ways—through the development of a personal material culture, the erection of monuments and museums in public spaces, and ushering a new era of science fiction film. If the meaning and use of these tools remained under tight, official interpretational control, they had the potential to create a national bond among the citizens of the USSR.
