Published: May 2023

Roditelji djece s teškoćama u razvoju suočavaju se s brojnim izazovima i stresorima koji se mogu negativno odraziti na njihovu dobrobit. Jedna od relativno zanemarenih tema, osobito u nacionalnim okvirima, jest otežana mogućnost usklađivanja zahtjeva radne i obiteljske uloge te skupine roditelja. Stoga je cilj ovog rada bio dobiti dublji uvid u čimbenike koji imaju potencijalno važnu ulogu u objašnjenju dobrobiti zaposlenih roditelja djece s teškoćama u razvoju u RH; preciznije, identificirati čimbenike koji promoviraju i/ili ometaju usklađivanje radnog i obiteljskog života te skupine roditelja. U istraživanju temeljenom na dubinskim intervjuima sudjelovalo je ukupno 25 zaposlenih roditelja (15 majki i 10 očeva) djece s različitim vrstama i stupnjevima teškoća u razvoju. Većina sudionika (N=23) ima jedno dijete, dok dvoje sudionika ima dvoje djece s objektivno dijagnosticiranim teškoćama u razvoju. Većina sudionika (N=21) provedenog istraživanja zaposlena je na puno radno vrijeme. Podatci su analizirani tematskom analizom. Rezultati su ukazali na četiri skupine čimbenika: društvene, organizacijske, obiteljske i osobne, koji, iz perspektive sudionika istraživanja, olakšavaju i/ili otežavaju usklađivanje radne i obiteljske uloge. S obzirom na to da je dobrobit roditelja djece s teškoćama u razvoju snažno oblikovana specifičnim društvenim kontekstom, što otežava poopćavanje rezultata te tematike dobivene u različitim zemljama, rezultati istraživanja provedenog u RH imaju važan teorijski doprinos. Identifikacija i opis relevantnih čimbenika koji omogućuju usklađivanje radne i obiteljske uloge te tako oblikuju dobrobit te skupine roditelja pružaju snažno polazište za kvantitativna istraživanja u tom području. Uz spomenuto rad pruža niz praktičnih implikacija usmjerenih unapređenju dobrobiti te skupine roditelja.

“Prominent South African Woman Arrives in New York”
Authors: Hendricks Wanda A.
Published: May 2023

In Chapter 7, Madie Hall Xuma returned to the United States in 1947 as an American citizen and as a dignitary from South Africa. She attended the International Council of Women (ICW) Conference in Philadelphia with a thousand delegates from more than twenty-five nations; the National Council of Negro Women Conference in Washington, DC, with six hundred American and international delegates; sessions at the two-year-old United Nations in New York; and immersed herself in the global campaign to fight for international peace, human rights, women’s equality, the expansion of women’s roles around the world, and an end of racism. When she returned to South Africa, the government was in the midst of institutionalizing apartheid. In response she embarked on a quest to integrate Zenzele Club women into the national white/European South African Council of World Affiliated YWCA and the World YWCA, one of the largest female organizations in the world with a membership of more than a million women and girls.
A Transnational Nexus
Authors: Hendricks Wanda A.
Published: May 2023

Chapter 8 looks at the ways in which the racially oppressive segregated system of apartheid intersected with the role Madie Hall Xuma played in the successful development of the interracial coalition of the national South African Council of World Affiliated YWCA and in the global process that made the integration of Black women and other women of color into the World YWCA a priority. She became the first Black woman from South Africa to serve on the World YWCA Executive Committee, the governing body of the organization, and the first Black woman to become president of the South African Council of World Affiliated YWCA. She also solidified her legacies as a vociferous advocate of human rights and women’s rights and a major proponent of world peace and the leadership training for women and girls.
Nancy Storace’s Annus Horribilis and Celeste Coltellini, 1785–86
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

The chapter discusses how childbirth resulted in a protracted loss of voice for Nancy Storace as prima donna of the Vienna court Italian opera company. Celeste Coltellini had been engaged as an altra prima donna, and she carried the first half of the season. After Storace recovered her voice, the two sang together. It shows that, as originally planned, Le nozze di Figaro would have cast Coltellini as Susanna and Storace as the Countess. Among other singers, a new mezzo carattere, Vincenzo Calvesi, replaced Giuseppe Viganoni. The great musico Luigi Marchesi enthralled the city in the opera seria Giulio Sabino
Between Man and God
Authors: Belnap Heather , Cropper Corry , Lee Daryl
Published: May 2023

As the Catholic Church’s influence waned in France, Spiritualism, mesmerism, and the occult filled the void. French writers drew parallels between Mormonism and these movements as early as the 1850s--in some cases to discredit them, but in other cases to highlight what was lacking during the post-Restoration era. In France, Mormonism itself functions as a spiritualist medium of sorts: it conjures up the Old Regime, bringing the values of the past to life. If Spiritualism and other supernatural beliefs are grouped together with Mormonism in mid-nineteenth-century France, it is because Mormonism itself is depicted as an institution that resurrects values that have disappeared and puts characters in contact with forgotten social and moral codes from a deceased way of life.
Introduction
Authors: Beda Steven C.
Published: May 2023

Dave Luoma, Don Zapp, and Dave Morrison had never seen anything like it. It was just past noon on May 29, 1990, and the three British Columbian loggers had wandered into a twenty-five-acre grove of inconceivably large trees hidden on the northern bank of Vancouver Island’s White River. Every major species of Northwest conifer was here—western red cedar, spruce, and Douglas fir—and most were so tall that their tops disappeared into the hanging mists above, making this entire place feel as if it belonged as much to the heavens as it did the Earth. The tallest trees gave off a sweet scent and were covered in thick, almost ironlike bark speckled with the bluish-green hues of forest lichens, which Luoma, Zapp, and Morrison knew were all signs of exceptional age. The grove astounded in other ways, as well. Broad-leafed ferns sprung from buckled red clumps of dirt, and bright-green sheets of moss hung from the twisted branches of understory growth. A handful of much-older trees that’d fallen decades, if not centuries ago, slowly disintegrated into the soil, and younger trees sprouted from their decaying carcasses, each one a small reminder that in the forest, the lines demarcating life and death are not starkly drawn. Luoma, Zapp, and Morrison were used to dramatic landscapes. Together, they had more than seventy-five years’ experience working in the woods. They’d spent their lives among some of the tallest trees and densest forests found anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. Still, nothing quite compared to what they were looking at now. The largest conifers on the northern coast of Vancouver Island typically grow to a height of about 150 feet, with an occasional specimen reaching 200 feet. Many trees in this grove stretched more than 250 feet into the air, and the largest would later be measured at more than 285 feet tall....
“Conservation … from the Guys Down Below”
Authors: Beda Steven C.
Published: May 2023

Labor activism is the topic of this chapter, focusing specifically on the founding of the International Woodworkers of America, a CIO-affiliated union founded in 1937 during the tumult of the Great Depression. Like workers across industrial North America, Northwest timber workers of the 1930s turned to organized labor, hoping to improve their wages and working conditions. Workers’ interest in conserving forests also played a significant role in shaping labor movement in timber country.
Shutting Down the Studio (2000–2004)
Authors: Lescher Mary E.
Published: May 2023

By chapter 5, computer-generated imagery has led to the end of the Disney Renaissance. This chapter heralds the passing of the second golden age, marked by the upheaval of Disney’s executive board, and illustrates the continuing development in technology by examining the Florida studio’s other theatrical releases, Lilo and Stitch (2002) and Brother Bear (2003). By the time the Florida studio closed, almost fifteen years after the premiere of The Little Mermaid, traditional hand-drawn animation production had all but ceased at Disney, and CGI was regarded as the cutting edge in feature film entertainment. With the termination of animation production in the Magic of Disney Animation theme park attraction and the removal of the artists, the attraction was redesigned to offer a new kind of theme park experience based on interactive experience.
Introduction
Authors: Schlabach Elizabeth Schroeder
Published: May 2023

The introduction surveys the history of informal economic labor in Black communities while presenting its recent scholarship. It then moves to highlight this book’s assertion that in Chicago women were integral to policy gambling despite constant harassment from Chicago police. Labor in the policy industry demanded Black women’s simultaneous visibility and invisibility, complicating their feminine and respectable status. The introduction previews multiple women who appear in subsequent chapters, whose stories offer new ways to consider how Black women were the critical fulcrums around which respectability and racial capitalism pivoted. Poor, middle-class, and wealthy Black women related to standard categories of femininity such as marriage, motherhood, and work through the lens of policy gambling, dramatically altering definitions of Black womanhood.
What Arrest Records Reveal
Authors: Schlabach Elizabeth Schroeder
Published: May 2023

This chapter is a portrait of the women who were arrested for gambling, its promotion, and keeping a gambling house. Relying on arrest records, police reports, and warrants from the Cook County Circuit Court Archives to survey over two hundred cases in which African American women were apprehended for gambling-related charges, this chapter sheds further light on the “average” African American woman policy worker on the South Side of Chicago during this era, from their migration patterns and marital status to their occupations, employment status within the industry, and encounters with law enforcement. This chapter finds that Mayor Martin Kennelly initiated an assault on policy gambling in the late 1940s, arresting an average of one thousand women per year on policy charges.
Introduction
Authors: Seligmann Linda J.
Published: May 2023

The Introduction argues for an ethnographic examination of the effects of the boom in quinoa consumption on those who cultivate it. It contextualizes the book’s in-depth analysis of quinoa expansion in Huanoquite, one agrarian district in Peru’s Andean highlands, and points to the ways food politics underpin these dynamics. It introduces the concept of pragmatic spirituality to depict how Indigenous Quechua households situate themselves and act in the cosmos and juxtaposes it to a philosophy of extraction that guides many modernization and development initiatives in the Andes. It reflects on the nature and importance of long-term fieldwork and then provides a summary of the chapters that follow.
Voracious Consumption
Authors: Seligmann Linda J.
Published: May 2023

This chapter funnels outward to discuss current and prospective environmental damage caused by mining in Huanoquite’s environs and reviews problems with the legal framework that governs mining in Peru. Whatever might be the immediate successes or failures of their quinoa project, Huanoquiteños knew the mines were not minor harbingers of collateral damage. They confronted the prospect that the entire region might become uninhabitable due to pollution of their water source from five lakes that they consider sacred. Huanoquiteños drew on the forces of cryptids, storytelling, organizing, and political resistance to challenge the development of the mines. They also selectively used borderlands knowledge to fight back against these powerful destructive forces.

Authors: Conceição Andrezza Fernanda Oliveira , Souza Rodrigo Rodrigues de , Souza Junior Luiz Carlos Victorino
Published: May 2023

Este estudo teve o objetivo de avaliar a percepção de mulheres sobre a exaustão emocional e a realização profissional vivenciadas antes e depois da licença maternidade. A amostra da pesquisa foi composta por 209 mães. A idade variou de 22 à 54 anos, com média de 34,43 anos (DP=5,12). Foram utilizados como instrumentos de pesquisa duas subescalas de um instrumento de diagnóstico de Burnout, sendo uma de exaustão emocional (alpha de cronbach 0,94) e outra de realização profissional (alpha de cronbach 0,88). Um questionário de levantamento de dados sociodemográficos também foi aplicado à amostra. A coleta de dados ocorreu via Google Forms, que foi divulgado em grupos de mães em redes sociais. Para realização das análises de percepção do antes e depois foi utilizado o teste de t para amostras dependentes. Os resultados mostraram que existe uma diferença significativa entre as médias de exaustão emocional antes (2,63) e depois (3,49) e para realização profissional antes (3,82) e depois (3,40). As análises de variâncias das variáveis sociodemográficas (idade, escolaridade, profissão, tempo de profissão, jornada de trabalho, tempo de retorno ao trabalho após a licença a maternidade e período de licença a maternidade), não apresentaram diferenças significativas. Análises de correlações também foram rodadas. As correlações significativas podem ser consideradas, sobretudo, desprezíveis, pois não superaram o valor de 0,17. Conclui-se que, na amostra estudada, a retorno às atividades profissionais, juntamente com o papel de mãe, reduz a percepção de realização profissional e aumenta a exaustão emocional das mães.
Neurite óptica

O objetivo deste capítulo é apresentar o conceito, etiologia, fisiopatologia, manifestações clínicas, diagnóstico e formas de tratamento da neurite óptica. A neurite óptica é considerada um distúrbio visual agudo e grave, no qual, dependendo da etiologia, o prognóstico visual e o risco de lesões recorrentes podem variar. A neurite óptica se apresenta como infecção, inflamação e desmielinização envolvendo o nervo óptico, no qual é responsável pela recepção e transmissão de estímulos nervosos. Ainda, pode ser causada por uma reação autoimune direcionada contra este nervo. Tal distúrbio pode ocorrer de forma isolada ou se configurar como um sinal para outra patologia, como a esclerose múltipla. Acredita-se que as mulheres jovens sejam as mais afetadas, transformando a doença em uma das causas mais comuns de perda visual transitória em adultos jovens. Portanto, as características epidemiológicas típicas são sexo feminino, idade entre 20-50 anos e raça branca. Há duas principais apresentações clínicas de neurite óptica, típica e atípica, sendo importante distingui-las para detectar a etiologia subjacente e planejar o tratamento adequado e oportuno. O diagnóstico da neurite óptica depende da avaliação clínica e anamnese eficazes, bem como, de exames de laboratoriais e de imagens. O tratamento de formas típicas da neurite óptica é realizado com corticosteroides intravenosos em altas doses com objetivo de acelerar a recuperação visual. Formas atípicas podem necessitar de regimes prolongados de imunossupressores. No caso da neurite de origem infecciosa é necessário o uso de antibióticos ou quimioterápicos específicos.

CALCULATING THE EARTHQUAKE ACTION ON A STRUCTURE USING SEISMIC BUILDING DESIGN CODE SP 14.13330.2014
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Pham Thanh Binh
Published: May 2023

In calculating the earthquake action on a structure, modal analysis is very important, especially for high-rise buildings. Typically, the structure has three main modes: two modes in translation direction and one in torsion. This study presented a seismic analysis of high rise buildings using SP 14.13330.2014 (SP) with consideration of those structural modes, which are not fully included in TCVN 9386:2012. The model of 15 storey office building was analyzed using structural software for building analysis ETABS 2017 software. The seismic responses such as storey shear force, internal forces in column section were numerically evaluated. The analysis results show that, the effect of torsion mode on the building subjected to earthquake is not really significant when evaluating damage and danger to people living in it.

Authors:   Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Bui Ngoc Tuyen
Published: May 2023

Freeform surfaces are widely used in various industries, but because of complicated geometry they require much time to be machined. Their partitioning allows appropriately select cutting tools and tool-path to increase machining productivity. This paper presents a partitioning method based on Gaussian and mean curvatures, and defining boundaries of local patches by Freeman algorithm. Simulation result with a B-spline surface shows that proposed method can reduce the machining time about 17% in comparison to non-partitioned method.

personaje y la imagen
Authors: García Fernández Román
Published: May 2023

Trabajar con la figura de Sócrates plantea una doble paradoja: por una parte, como ha sido señalado por Antonio Tovar, se puede pretender construir la biografía y a la vez la historia de un personaje que vive en una época en la que estos dos géneros no existen; por otra, si nos atenemos a la opinión más extendida, la propia filosofía se encuentra sólo en embrión y es imposible, por tanto, intentar recogerla realizando una historia de la filosofía.
Contextos y polémicas de Derrida
Authors: Peñalver Gómez Patricio
Published: May 2023

En este trabajo se arriesga una presentación muy general, atenta o sensible a la interna diversidad del pensamiento de Derrida. Característico de su escritura y de su amplísimo magisterio más o menos regular es una congruente pero complejísima diversidad temática. A lo que hay que añadir su peculiarísimo «tono». Nada se entenderá del idioma filosófico de Derrida si no se sabe acusar en su escritura, aquí y allá, todo un juego de ironías, parodias, elipsis, un juego que no le quita, claro está, la mayor seriedad filosófica a su pensamiento. Por lo demás, no está mal recordar que el nacimiento de la filosofía está vinculado a ese bello tropo fecundo de la apariencia de esterilidad teórica que es la ironía socrática.

La circunstancia de la reciente desaparición del filósofo francés, de origen judío argelino, como a él le gustaba subrayar, es además un motivo suplementario para intentar aquí dar lugar a ese debate sobre el valor y el significado de la aportación de la obra de Jacques Derrida al espacio filosófico contemporáneo que ha estado condicionado por toda una serie de equívocos interpretativos, y en fin, por una especie de alergia al tipo de escritura filosófica que ha ejercido Derrida durante casi medio siglo.
Gifts of Joyce in Cuba’s Grupo Orígenes
Authors: Salgado César A.
Published: May 2023

This essay starts as a testimony on work done across the years transferring or adapting “critical technologies” from James Joyce Studies to improve the infrastructure of José Lezama Lima Studies as a global field of scholarship. It continues as a report on what has been accomplished institutionally on this regard since 2001 in Cuba and abroad in international conferences, publications, and critical editions. It ends with an appeal for scholarly reciprocity between professional fields by reviewing what Lezama Lima and his Orígenes circle have given to—rather than taken from—Joyce and Joyce Studies through an analysis of how Joyce’s books circulated as actual gifts among Orígenes writers. The essay draws from holographs among the Jose Lezama Lima manuscripts in Havana’s National Library to analyze Oscar Rodríguez Feliú’s translation in Spanish of Ulysses’ “Proteus” episode—commissioned by Lezama Lima and published in Espuela de Plata in 1940—and a poem with Joycean references that Lezama Lima inscribed on a copy of the 1952 reprinting of J. Salas Subirat’s 1945 Spanish translation of Ulysses.
Vampiric Textuality
Authors: Ramey James
Published: May 2023

This chapter points out that certain modernist texts are characterized by what could be called cryptopoiesis: texts endowed with embedded forms not easily observable on a first reading nor even a close second reading. It argues that Joyce’s use of cryptopoiesis in Ulysses elicits a patently posthumanist mode of observation. The classic problem of the vampire quatrain is used as an example, in part because of the nexus between vampirism and parasitism, the latter concept having a considerable genealogy in both Joyce studies and posthumanism. The motif of the vampire in Ulysses adumbrates the figure of the parasite that emerged as a major current in poststructuralism and has gone on to feature prominently in the posthumanist turn, producing a strand of discourse within the field described here as “parasitic posthumanism.”
Joyce the Technician and Algorithmic Agency in Finnegans Wake
Authors: Ridgway Maisie
Published: May 2023

This chapter sets out a theory of linguistic agency in Finnegans Wake, expressed through linguistic algorithms that draw the reader toward its goal of semiotic proliferation. The central mechanism of the Wakean algorithm is the sequential pun, which maintains an indeterminacy of meaning, so that the reader is unable to settle the text into any totalizing final schema. In a system where language acts, both the author and reader must be refigured from arbiters of meaning to agents in a complex and distributed network of other agencies. In light of this, language must also be refigured away from its status as useful tool of human expression, toward something altogether more anomalous, illegible and effecting.
Of Mice, Kats, and Bricks
Authors: Sartain Marie
Published: May 2023

This chapter draws connections between the works of James Joyce and that of newspaper cartoonist George Herriman, “the first African American cartoonist of note,” in the first comparative study of these two creators. This chapter shows that Herriman’s Krazy Kat, in addition to being one of Joyce’s favorite comic strips, shares several elements with Joyce’s works, particularly multilingual wordplay, aesthetic experimentation, queer and cross-cultural love triangles, and an early variant of the “mythical method.” As a result, this chapter not only helps us understand what may have drawn Joyce to Krazy Kat, but further contextualizes both creators within a transatlantic modernist discourse.
James Joyce’s “Spicy Books”
Authors: Lernout Geert
Published: May 2023

Many of his contemporaries thought of James Joyce as a pornographer, and in his own work he made use of different genres of forbidden books, from medical and scholarly studies to outright smut. A careful study of Joyce’s notes and manuscripts shows how Ulysses and Finnegans Wake contain references to the classics of risqué literature such as Fanny Hill, Moll Flanders, or the works of Paul de Kock. An unexpected source of titillating literature was theological writing as part of the anti-Catholic literature of the second half of the nineteenth century. And Joyce also managed to make notes, within months of its (illegal) publication in New York, from a collection of sexual jokes.

Although a confused first-time reader of Ulysses may cling to the apparently unimpeachable fact that Leopold Bloom attends a funeral on 16 June 1904, the determination of whether someone is dead or not is an altogether more slippery matter, for the body in that funeral keeps turning up. This essay traces how this particular uncertainty hovers in so much of Joyce’s work and explores the blend of disquiet and comedy that it generates. Ultimately this argument points to Joyce’s understanding of how narrative fiction remains ever doubtful of epistemology and continually asks us how we “know” what we claim to “know.”
The “Gaijin Revolution” in Brazil
Authors: Tobar Felipe Bertazzo
Published: May 2023

In 1908, the first generation of Japanese immigrants in Brazil brought several important cultural practices, including baseball, their biggest sporting passion. Until the 1980s, baseball was practiced and managed almost exclusively by the first immigrants and their descendants in a familial structure. Popularly known as the "Japanese Sport," baseball diamonds rapidly became a trademark of the Japanese colony's presence in Brazil. However, in the last 30 years, the sport saw the emergence of the "Gaijin Revolution," a process influenced by factors like globalization, cultural syncretism, and reverse migrations, where foreigners and non-Japanese descendants started to play and manage the sport through different ethnical influences. This chapter discusses the tensions involving the "Japanese Baseball Heritage" allegedly at risk because of the new understandings (and establishment) of a Brazilian domestic baseball heritage and explores avenues for the sustainable and democratic development of the sport in Brazil in the future.
Caribbean Series Baseball Heritage with Diasporic, Economic, and Political Implications
Authors: Van Hyning Thomas E.
Published: May 2023

Thomas E. Van Hyning takes a broad look at the uses and understandings of heritage across several Caribbean nations, including most notably through events—such as the Caribbean World Series—through some of the baseball halls of fame and museums in the region, as well as through the “living heritage” of the region’s baseball heroes. His exploration reveals that baseball heritage in the region reflects the broader culture and politics of the Caribbean, including the creation and maintenance of national cultures and heritage; interregional rivalries (and cooperation) through sport; and the region’s cultural and economic relationship with the United States. Van Hyning also posits that this region’s baseball heritage, which is as rich and diverse as that of the United States, requires further consideration.

Predictions based on animal ecology are critical to model human-specific decisions in zooarchaeology. However, information about the past distribution of prey is rare, and evaluations normally rely on modern ecological parameters to fill in the gaps. These assumptions often are problematic since species distributions are likely to have fluctuated over time as a consequence of different environmental factors, or as the by-product of cumulative human impacts. Stable isotope studies, including bulk and compound specific isotope analysis, have the potential to address this problem by providing a suitable paleoecological framework. A number of studies have suggested that variation in carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values among marine animals can be explained by differences in the isotopic composition between nearshore and offshore ecosystems, and/or by changes in trophic levels in marine food webs. In this chapter, we provide a long-term perspective on the interaction between Beagle Channel hunter-gatherer-fisher societies and marine resources of the southern tip of South America through the application of stable isotope ecology. We address changes in the foraging behavior of Otariids in response to human predation, the human use of offshore patches during the late Holocene, and the isotopic paleoecology to understand human dietary variations in the region.
Assessing the Applicability of Lead Isotope Data from Animal Teeth in the Maya Region
Authors: Sharpe Ashley E. , Kamenov George D. , Krigbaum John
Published: May 2023

The analysis of lead isotopes (206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, and 208Pb/204Pb) in ancient enamel and bone is a relatively new technique for tracking lead exposure, as well as the movement of animals across the landscape. The methods and limitations for lead isotope testing on ancient faunal remains are still being explored. Lead isotopes in archaeological faunal material are prone to two types of contamination, namely diagenesis and modern anthropogenic pollutants. Special techniques must therefore be implemented to assure the quality and reproducibility of lead isotope results. This study assesses the lead isotope and trace elements results from animal teeth recovered from the ancient Maya sites of Ceibal and Kaminaljuyu, Guatemala, and Cerros in Belize. These sites cover a range of geologic and geographic variables. Lead isotopes are compared across different chronological phases and among different species. These variables allow us to assess the quality of lead isotope data for mobility studies in a region that did not have high concentrations of lead in the environment until the last hundred years.
Large-Scale Data Synthesis

One of the primary limiting factors in our understanding of variability across spatial and long-term temporal scales in stable isotope studies in zooarchaeology has not been lack of data but rather a lack of data exchange, integration, and synthesis. The Neotoma Database (neotomadb.org) functions as an interdisciplinary, open access database for the paleoecology community. Primary data types include proxies such as pollen, vertebrate remains, diatoms, and middens. These data are stored in various constituent databases. The recently created Faunal Isotope Database (FID) allows for the integration of stable isotope data with these existing types. Neotoma serves as a hub for storing and accessing diverse data that embody the “big data” movement and offers an unparalleled opportunity for visualizing the intersection of stable isotope analysis of zooarchaeological material with multiple other proxies for paleoecological reconstruction, ranging from the macroscopic to microscopic and biogeochemical scales. In addition to the launch and initial population of the stable isotope repository, issues that affect all so-called big data efforts exist as challenges for the future, including establishing best practices and standardization in recording/reporting, monitoring data quality, linking datasets, and increasing accessibility while protecting sensitive information.
Dr. Gloria Dean Randle Scott
Authors: Fondon Janine
Published: May 2023

This chapter on Dr. Gloria Dean Randle Scott describes her use of the gavel to signal a more inclusive spirit of women who gathered for the 1977 National Women’s Conference (NWC). As the first Black national leader of the Girls Scouts USA and daughter of Houston’s historic African American community—the Third Ward—Scott’s experiences informed her role at the NWC and her commitment to mentor, empower and engage Black women as well as women of all backgrounds. She stepped up to the podium at 1977 National Women’s Conference with a high expectation and personal mandate for changing the world for the better through inclusion—especially during a time when racism, segregation, discrimination, and sexism made “being fully present” a rare moment. A proud member of Delta Sigma Theta sorority, Dr. Scott demonstrated how unapologetic change by a Black woman was truly seen and heard—a model for the conference.
“I hope we won’t turn our backs on the masses of women in Florida”
Authors: Ortner Johanna M.
Published: May 2023

This chapter discusses Dr. Freddie Groomes-McLendon’s advocacy for underrepresented communities in Florida and her leadership role in Governor Reubin Askew’s Commission on the Status of Women, which made her a leading champion in the state’s struggle over the passing of the Equal Rights Amendment during the 1970s. Focusing on Groomes-McLendon’s work, this chapter also showcases how pro- and anti-ERA women’s organizations saw the participation in the 1977 Women’s Conference in Houston, Texas, as a crucial stepping stone for their respective goals. In addition, the chapter highlights the critical importance of Black women’s organizing, particularly as it relates to Black sororities. It was due to Groomes-McLendon’s membership and her leadership role in Alpha Kappa Alpha, the oldest black sorority in the country, that she was able to attend the 1977 conference.
Clara McLaughlin
Authors: Linker Destiney
Published: May 2023

With her unflappable leadership style, Clara McLaughlin mobilized her organizational and communication skills for Black people, especially women and children. As owner of a broadcast station in Longview, Texas and, later, of The Florida Star newspaper, McLaughlin blended her education, career, and activism to increase media representation and ownership for African Americans, which she saw as necessary for the cultivation of lasting institutions and practices of Black Power. Images of McLaughlin and her daughter Rinetta at the 1977 National Women's Conference reflected her desire to model political activism for future generations, who would be nurtured by the collection and dissemination of medical information, folk wisdom, and Black pride as enshrined in The Black Parents Handbook: A Guide to Healthy Pregnancy, Birth, and Childcare, which she published the year before. From her years spent shaping the future of communication studies at Howard University to denying a platform for white supremacists, this chapter surveys the life and work of McLaughlin at the intersection of women's activism and the struggle for Black Power in the United States.
René d’ Anjou and His Textual Models
Authors: Brownlee Kevin
Published: May 2023

This essay considers in detail the numerous and diverse ways in which two literary model texts, the Quête du Saint Graal and the Roman de la Rose, function in the Livre du Cœur. René-author uses both the Quête and the Rose as key points of departure, while at the same time, consistently emphasizing the essential differences between them and his own (hybrid) masterwork. René’s text thus appears as a significant continuation of these two French canonical texts: a 15th-century rewriting of the two 13th-century authoritative literary model texts in the vernacular. This status is elaborated by the Livre du Cœur’s references to a key set of 15th-century French authors and texts: Alain Chartier (d. 1430), the Hôpital d’Amour of Achille Coulier (c. 1425-41), and to René himself, who is identified in multiple “biographic” ways that seem to contradict both the courtly and the chivalric ideals embodied in the Cœur. Finally, there is the literarily self-conscious inscription of a set of (tri-lingual) model authors: Ovid, Machaut, Boccaccio, Jean de Meun, Petrarch, and Alain Chartier. René is placing himself at the culmination of this line.
Polymorphic Self-Narration in Le livre du Chevalier errant of Thomas III of Saluzzo
Authors: Fajen Robert
Published: May 2023

This essay focuses on Le Livre du Chevalier Errant, written by the Piedmontese Marquess Thomas III of Saluzzo between 1394 and 1396 during his imprisonment in Turin. I examine the novel’s complex narrative method in more detail. As early as the introduction of the novel, Thomas of Saluzzo combines allegorical discourse with the narrative methods of the Arthurian novel. The allegory thus becomes less abstract; in the light of the previous novels, it becomes more specific and appears more vivid and detailed. This is followed by an analysis of the role of the three personifications for, Espérance, and Travail, who act as allegorical followers of the protagonist and first-person narrator, and who accompany him. These three characters are presented as individuals in the text, individuals who move independently through space and time; however, they remain tied to the narrator to the extent that they illustrate his various internal states. The fragmentation represented by the allegorical followers explains the strange vacillation between the first person and third person that is a distinguishing feature of the novel. templates, as a mosaic of texts, pictures, motifs, and quotes, all of which contain references to the varied readings of the Marquess of Saluzzo.
First-Person Allegory and the Concept of the Unreliable Narrator
Authors: Glauch Sonja
Published: May 2023

This essay attempts to elucidate the link between allegorical self-(mis)representation, self-irony, and didactic purpose in texts such as the Roman de la Rose, or the Voir Dit. In those texts there is often a skillfully established mismatch between the authors’ self-representation (which is often that of a learned, elderly clerk) and a theme such as courtly love. But any comic or satirical touch resulting from amatory delusion is subtly counterbalanced by the second theme, the question of poetic production, authorship, and affirmation of artifice. This tension blurs the distinction between the author and the narrating figure to a degree that makes it impossible to classify these first-person narrators as unreliable narrators in a terminological sense.
