Political Elections, Cultural Elections, and the Votes that Really Matter
2008-09-24 17:19:00 By Selwyn Duke To be honest, treating politics isn?t my favorite pastime. Sure, like other commentators I do it, but it?s not something I can truly sink my teeth into. I?ll explain why momentarily. This election season, my pen has directed many slings and arrows Barack Obama?s way. I criticized John McCain, too, but ...

¿Cuál es el verdadero significado de cultura?
2008-09-04 02:00:00 ¿Qué es cultura? Es una de las grandes preguntas. Muchos dicen que va de la mano con las artes, otros claramente piensan que es algo mucho más global y parte con un claro comportamiento social. ¿Tenemos cultura los chilenos? Esa es una buena pregunta que ya sería bueno que comenzáramos a cuestionarnos.

Why a Cultural Boycott of Israel is Necessary
2008-06-06 03:58:00 by Remi Kanazi At what point does rhetoric stop and effective action begin? For Palestinians, decades of dialogue and supposed peace overtures have proved fruitless, only serving to protect the status quo: sixty years of continual dispossession, forty years of occupation, and a systematic repudiation of international and humanitarian law. The situation for Palestinians will not improve without constructive movement forward—which rejects collusion with the Israeli government by exercising boycott, divestment and sanctions (known as BDS). During the 1980’s, BDS of South Africa included a cultural boycott whereby musicians and artists from around the world were prohibited from performing in the apartheid state. In addition to internationally supporting the subjugated black population, this policy was instituted to express that no real dialogue—economic, academic, or cultural—could take place in concert with the atrocities of apartheid. With regard to Israel, the implementation of ...

Cultural Learnings Of... Swedish High School Graduation
2008-06-01 17:51:00 Some time ago I showed you how Estonians celebrate the graudation of high school, or "gymnasium" (same word, spelt differently in places up here). This week I was in Stockholm for a few days and saw how the Swedish* also celebrate this important time in a young persons life... by getting wasted and riding around in the back of massive trucks with music blaring. All I had was a gemini and a cassette adapter... happy days. It appears "Time Of Your Life" by Greenday has fallen out of favour with the graduating kidding these days, however I was enthused to see them rocking out to "Living On A Prayer" instead. I can get behind that!Not only were the kiddies riding around on trucks on Friday but there was a massive Iraq conference going on in Stockholm with all kinds of international people like Condi Rice attending. Apparently it was insantiy. For Sweden. Or so the taxi driver said. You get all the good advice from taxi drivers.* I am pretty sure Swede...

This was my first time visiting the Dairy Barn, and I must say that I am very impressed! Here are a few pics from the show so you can see. :DThis exhibit contains extraordinary examples of both traditional and contemporary beadwork. There were a few beaded handbags, a gourd, a couple of dolls, some wearable art, a large number of bead-paintings, some jewelry, a few indescribable pieces, and way too many quilts.

Social Cultural and economic forces make women more likely to contract HIV
2008-05-05 15:54:00 The view of poor & developing countries, In generally we found that women & adolescent girls are more vulnerable to HIV infection on each sexual encounter because of the biological nature of the process and the vulnerability of the reproductive tract tissues to the virus, especially in adolescent girls. For example, young women are generally disadvantaged by gender disparities. In terms of food intake, access to health care and growth patterns, girls are often worse off than boys. The inequalities become evident soon after birth, and by adolescence many girls are grossly underweight. Social Cultural and economic forces make women more likely to contract HIV infection than men. Women are often less able to negotiate for safer sex due to reasons such as their lower status, economic dependence and fear of violence, adolescent girls in the countries. Adolescents in poor families often do not have the option to make real choices about their sexual and reproductive lives, such as...
America's Maoist Cultural Revolution or "I'm for the stupid guy"
2008-04-30 06:15:00 by Stephen P. Pizzo "Anti-intellectualism is often used by dictators or those seeking to establish dictatorships. Educated people as a social group have often been seen by totalitarian elements as a threat because of the tendency of intellectuals to question existing social norms and to dissent from established opinion. Thus, often violent anti-intellectual backlashes are common during the rise and rule of authoritarian political movements, such as Fascism, Stalinism and Theocratic rule. Moreover, because many intellectuals refuse to embrace nationalism, they are also commonly portrayed as unpatriotic and subversive." (Full) When I read an opinion piece, like this one, the first thing I want to know is "where is the author coming from? What are his/her biases?" So let's get that right out of the way. I'm about as average a guy as the Baby Boom generation could create. I was raised by hard-working middle class parents. We were neither rich or poo...

Before I recount a couple of events from that evening, there is some background information that you must know:* Glendale has the largest population of Armenians in the United States.* This past week, the Armenians commemorated the Armenian Genocide?between 1915 and 1923, about 1.5 million Armenians were killed (out of 2.5 in the Ottoman Empire) by the Turkish government.* Modern-day Turkey does not recognize the term "genocide" as an accurate description of what happened, and this is a point of contention between the Armenians and the Turks nearly 100 years later.* Since we were in Glendale, we had an Armenian waitress at the Armenian-run restaurant.First Scene.

Dowry Murder: The Imperial Origins of a Cultural Crime (review)
2008-04-22 15:39:00 The Hindu custom of dowry has long been blamed for the murder of wives and female infants in India. In this highly provocative book, Veena Oldenburg argues that these killings are neither about dowry nor reflective of an Indian culture or caste system that encourages violence against women. Rather, such killings can be traced directly to the influences of the British colonial era. In the precolonial period, dowry was an institution managed by women, for women, to enable them toestablish their status and have recourse in an emergency. As a consequence of the massive economic and social upheaval brought on by British rule, women's entitlements to the precious resources obtained from land were erased and their control of the system diminished, ultimately resulting in adevaluing of their very lives. Taking us on a journey into the colonial Punjab, Veena Oldenburg skillfully follows the paper trail left by British bureaucrats to indict them for interpreting these crimes agai...

I consider myself a cultural Christian
2008-04-22 06:52:00 Sent in by AngelaLet me first start out by saying that I love Christianity. Many of my fondest memories as a child and some of my dearest relationships are based on this religion. But I am not a believer.There was a time when I struggled to reconcile my doubts about Jesus, the Bible and the Christian Church, but now I am able to completely accept the logic that used to nag me.Despite my evolution of thought, I have not completely expunged Christianity from my life, and I don't think I ever will.I now consider myself a cultural Christian.I feel free to partake in all religious rituals and holidays because Christianity is a part of my family history and culture. I don't skulk away or outwardly protest at family gatherings when a prayer is said, I just respectfully bow my head. I don't take any of it too seriously, it only means something if you let it.People who have strong beliefs about Christianity or Atheism may see this as a dire conflict to be resolved, but life is too short t...

Si en España tenemos a Torrente con su humor de sal gruesa, en Gran Bretaña tienen a Arma Fatal, con un humor más británico (para lo bueno y para lo malo). Un poli de ciudad con exceso de celo profesional es trasladado a un idílico pueblo en el que nunca pasa nada, pero al poco de llegar comienzan a suceder misteriosos y letales accidentes a los que el pueblo no da importancia. Genial guión y excelente ritmo en esta película. Espero que estos tipos sigan por este camino.Soy Leyenda: Remake de un remake, con versiones de low budget oportunistas de por medio (explotación como dicen en Horas de Oscuridad) y basado en un libro que sinceramente no he leído (aún).

Cultural Change and Everyday Life ?????????
2008-04-12 05:03:00 Cultural Change and Everyday Life?????????# Author:David Chaney# Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan # Number Of Pages: 220 # Publication Date: 2002-09-06 # ISBN-10 / ASIN: 033376143X # ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780333761434 It is generally accepted that the modern era has been a period of unprecedented cultural change. But what is the nature of this change and how has it impacted on our day-to-day experience? This landmark text proposes an innovative framework for understanding the shifting forms of mass culture and everyday life, and does so by examining changes in a number of important cultural spheres, from food to fashion, tourism to media representations. Vivid and ambitious, it both synthesizes a diverse literature and advances theoretical debates.
