Curating conflict-related sexual violence: Museological visibilities at the Imperial War Museum

While often under-researched, mis-catalogued, and obscured from public display, conflict-related sexual violence is acutely entangled in the story of conflict that the Imperial War Museum tells its visitors, beyond the dichotomous characterisation of present/absent, hidden/revealed or remembered/forgotten. This article outlines and characterises ways in which the Imperial War Museum curates conflict-related sexual violence, illustrating how this equates to gendered and gendering arbitrations on what is appropriate, representative, and moreover what counts as conflict-related sexual violence and as the material and visual culture of war. Curatorial practices are found to both reflect and actively (re)produce patterns of representation in sexual violence discourse, through a prism of visual hierarchies inherent to modern museumification and the Museum’s titular imperial legacy. Insights from this case can help guide ambitions of a more activist, feminist curatorial practice, one invested in disrupting harmful patterns and centring what is marginal.

The Sultans of Zanzibar and the Abolition of Slavery in East Africa

AbstractIn 1890, Sultan Ali of Zanzibar declared in writing that “we wish by every means to stop the slave trade.” Statements like these, in addition to the actual passing of anti-slavery legislation, call into question the generally accepted scholarly understanding that the sultans of Zanzibar only agreed to pass and enforce anti-slavery legislation because they were under duress from European, mainly British, powers, who negotiated favorable political and economic benefits in return for (gradual) abolition. A close analysis of the sources tells a more complicated story of both collaboration and conflict between the Zanzibari sultans, their subjects, and the British agents. Moreover, each sultan had distinctive political and religious beliefs, as well as individual personal experiences and outlooks. This paper explores the anti-slavery legislation passed under three sultans of Zanzibar: Barghash bin Said (1870–1888) who prohibited the transport of slaves by sea in 1873, Ali bin Said (1890–1893) who passed the Slave Trade Prohibition Decree of 1890, and Hamoud bin Mohammed (1896–1902) who passed the Abolition Decree of 1897. By analyzing draft treaties and correspondence before and after the passing of legislation, this paper argues that the sultans and their advisors were not devoid of ideological interest in ending slavery; and that British agents and explorers in the region were too hastily hailed as abolitionists.

ASOMROF: A Transmedia Project of Sci-Fi Content Inspied by the Local Ethnic History for Technology Art Works

This communication depicts the evolution and transmedia of science fiction content inspired by the immigration and land reclamation history of early Hakka people who arrived in Taiwan from China in the 17th century for technology art works, including a dancing performance that combines virtual and real dancers in real-time, as well as an augmented reality exhibition. For early determined cooperation, the project was set to be related to Hakka culture. The Hakka are one of two major ethnic groups of Han Chinese immigrants who arrived in Taiwan around the 17th century, after the Hokkien, the other major ethnic group of Han Chinese. The history of Hakka immigration and reclamation, as well as the conflict between Hakka, Hokkien, and indigenous people in Taiwan, were found to be intriguing enough to be adapted into a science fiction scenario, with the consideration of how similar the situation will be in the future when human interplanetary immigrants arrive on a new distant planet, a metaphor for the Hakka people. The story of conflict and cooperation between new immigrants, previous settlers, and original inhabitants possibly echo the collective memory of ethnic groups in eastern Asia. Furthermore, the sci-fi scenarios are expanded and adapted as a novel and manga in text and graphic form based on scientific knowledge, in keeping with the current transmedia trend in the entertainment industry.

King, Kinglessness and an Oral Poem

The essay discusses an oral poem from north Malabar detailing an 18th-century event of political conflict, manifested between a native king and a local landlord. The story of conflict centres around the idea of bhēdam or difference that the king wanted to project as the secret of his earthly right to rule. The king’s opponent, the local landlord, rejects this idea and claims that they are equals, and there exists no hierarchy of relation between them. The essay explores certain features of the late 18th century political transition along the Coast of Malabar which culminated in the Mysore and British rule, and argues that the landlord’s denial of king’s authority was firmly rooted in this context, and had futurist intentions. In this way, the essay also tries to present a critique of the neo-Hocartian idea of “little-kingdom” and the Proppian proposal for “pattern morphology”. It indicates that the early modern Malabar presents an interesting case of ‘hollowing’ the crown from inside, and its oral poems—as a genre of history—document this process in modes that are deemed appropriate to their times.

The Gentleman, the Detective, and the Housewife

Abstract This article examines Japanese experiments concerning the power of “thoughtography,” demonstrating how sensory disagreements between psychologists and physicists were concretized through divergent gendered personae within contested spaces of experiment. Specifically, I analyze thoughtography as a story of conflicts between personae of “gentleman” and “detective” within the private, nuclear-familial home of the “housewife.” In the early twentieth century, the psychological laboratory had yet to establish its authority in Japan. Successful experiment thus required visiting subjects and navigating the intersensorial spaces of their homes. The strategies through which researchers adapted to homes, and the strategies by which housewives manipulated homes to their advantage, reveal contestations over how to look, touch, and feel in the presence of others. They furthermore reveal that the drive to emulate “Western science” met with contradictions in “Westernization” itself, particularly between demands concerning new protocols of masculine scholarly sociability and the prerogatives of the bourgeois wife and mother.

Representasi Perempuan dalam Perselingkuhan

The Radarsemarang.id media portal has a section entitled “Ambyar”, which contains stories of domestic conflicts that ended in divorce. This rubric is delivered using popular language style and tends to be humorous. However, the writings in this rubric present men and women unequally. As a mass media, Radarsemarang.id has the power to shape reality. This paper dismantles how women are described in infidelity using a qualitative approach using Roger Fowler's Critical Linguistic discourse analysis model. Stuart Hall's representational theory is used as a basis for analysis. This analysis resulted in a selection of vocabulary in the form of a strategy of limiting views, women are always described as perpetrators and men are described as victims in an affair. Through grammar, namely the "Passivation" transformation strategy for men, women are portrayed as active seducers who make men, not of their own volition, trapped in an extramarital affair. Adultery committed by men still places women (third persons) as active parties to seduce.

Love on the Rocks: Lighthouses in Literature as Gendered Geographies of Love

The lighthouse has long been a familiar setting for stories of love, conflict, and epiphany. That isolated tower on the clifftop brims with symbolic possibility and sometimes cliché, positioning it as a site of gendered love, with popular fiction titles embedding the trope of the contained world revolving, like the lit lamp, around the male authority. But the lighthouse also has an explicit historical situatedness. The nineteenth century British lighthouses, in particular, were seen as outposts of empire. They are immovable inscriptions of the outlines of islands, the edges of continents – the imprint of colonisation on country. And they are often seen as male domains. In the popular imagination, a lighthouse is much more than its function. Does recent historical fiction perpetuate or subvert what we think we know about lighthouses and the people who populated them? How does it portray the officially gendered roles and intense relationships of women characters? How might historical novels set in settler colonies recognise the specific meaning of the lighthouse as a marker of imperial authority? And how do we read the lighthouse and its place in the imagination as a geography of gender and love?

‘My Dad Was, Is a Soldier’: Using Collaborative Poetic Inquiry to Explore Intergenerational Trauma, Resilience, and Wellbeing in the Context of Forced Migration

The topics of intergenerational trauma, resilience, and wellbeing as they relate to forced migration are receiving more attention in the arts and health literature. Yet, we know very little about how refugee-background young adults manage their psychosocial wellbeing when they grow up surrounded by stories of conflict, loss, and trauma. Achol has been writing poetry to represent and amplify the narratives of those around her (parents, family, and the South Sudanese community in Sydney, Australia). These stories are central elements of her lived experience and the diverse experiences of her community. Using collaborative poetic inquiry, this paper identifies key themes in one of her poems, My dad was, is a soldier, to illustrate how poetry is an important artistic mode of expression that can improve our understanding of intergenerational trauma, resilience, and wellbeing. Rather than conveying interview data through research poems, we place Achol’s poem at the centre of our collaborative poetic inquiry to gain new insights into refugee lived experiences. This paper contributes to contemporary debates on how artistic means enrich our knowledge of psychosocial wellbeing through trauma-informed, culturally safe, and decolonial research methods.

“Our cinema, our stories, our power”: The politics of storytelling in contemporary Andean Cinema

Since the end of the Peruvian internal armed conflict (1980–2000), official histories circulate through mainstream media and the boulevard press that narrate Andean regions as a nest of radical politics and violent disruptions deepening the disconnect between Lima and other provinces. As a response, a group of self-taught filmmakers from Ayacucho took up cameras to tell their own stories of violence and conflict, providing a critical perspective on official narratives and their disregard for the continuing social disparities. Keeping up with a long-standing tradition of local artists as critical intellectuals and narrators of people's histories, these filmmakers use new and accessible technologies to tell stories at the margins of public discourses defined by the capital Lima. In this context, the role of filmmaking can be understood as two-fold: an act of appropriation of western technologies and a technique to deliver justice to the people of Ayacucho through storytelling. In this article, I examine the creative practice of cinema-making in the Andes as a form of social intervention that seeks to resist contemporary memory regimes and allows for imagining alternative futures.

Voices and Noises from the Grassroots: Discourses of People-Centered Development and (in) the Kidapawan Massacre Coverage of the Philippine News Media

This study explores the discourses of social development (i.e., people-centered) in the Kidapawan Massacre coverage of the Philippine news media. Specifically, this examines how media texts and talks represented the farmer-victims within the context of development. This researcher employs van Dijk’s (1998) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of selected tabloid news articles, broadsheet opinion columns, online alternative opinion columns, television documentaries, and television-radio news coverage of the stories of conflict between the oppressed and marginalised farmers and the powerful and controlling government. This critical research leads to the way of thinking that because of the latter’s inaction and the media’s neoliberal-capitalistic ideology, the former’s plight were overlooked and silenced. In this elite-dominated Philippine society, as well as in the Asia-Pacific, discourses of profit-centered development are more hegemonic compared to its counterpart that were relatively scant and torpid. Hence, the conceptualization of an alternative model, that is Communication and Social Development (CSD).

Blessing or curse? Sharing economy and its impact on the community of customers and suppliers

AbstractSharing economy offers an alternative to customers with on‐demand services and opens up a new way for owners of underutilized resources to generate revenue. However, there is little evidence on whether sharing economy benefits the community of customers and suppliers or not. Our work is motivated by the ongoing stories of conflicts related to the ride sharing platforms (e.g., Uber, Lyft) and the information we collected from industry practitioners. We propose an economic model that describes how a price manipulating ride sharing platform crowdsources and matches supply to demand. Furthermore, our model captures how sharing economy's manipulative power impacts the community of customers and suppliers. Sharing economy platforms allow customers to make purchase decisions after evaluating the search cost, which depends on other customers' purchase decisions and leads to endogenous demand for sharing economy services. A comprehensive theoretical analysis of such models can be extremely challenging due to the endogenous demand. However, we provide such analysis by assuming that the customers evaluate the search cost with the estimated or “exogenous” demand instead of the realized or “endogenous” demand. Moreover, we support our theoretical findings in more realistic settings by performing various numerical analyses. Our results suggest that the financial objective of sharing economy may conflict with the welfare of the affected community, which can be mitigated by government regulations that impose upper bounds on price surges. Our work helps researchers, practitioners, and public policy makers more comprehensively understand the challenges that sharing economy brings and suggests possible regulatory intervention.

Assessment of hostile intent attributions across escalating conflict stories.

Previous research suggests the importance of intent attributions in the development and maintenance of aggressive behavior. The primary purpose of the current study was to develop a measure assessing increases in attributions of hostility in response to escalating social conflict scenarios that were relational and instrumental in nature and to determine whether hostility trajectories were associated with relevant social experiences and behavior. A sample of primarily emerging adults (n = 750; M age = 19.97, SD = 3.60; 49.4% women, 48.3% men, 2.3% nonbinary or transgender; 69.9% Caucasian) responded to surveys regarding social behavior, peer victimization, and reports of hostile attribution biases in addition to the developed measure. Findings indicated that individuals adjusted their intent attributions across the conflict escalation stories, as reflected in linear increases in hostility ratings. Hostile attribution trajectories were also related to hostile attribution biases, peer victimization, and social behavior, including physical and relational aggression and prosocial behavior.

Lost in Transition: Removing, Resettling, and Renewing Appalachia ed. by Aaron D. Purcell

Reviewed by: Lost in Transition: Removing, Resettling, and Renewing Appalachia ed. by Aaron D. Purcell Madison Cates Lost in Transition: Removing, Resettling, and Renewing Appalachia. Edited by Aaron D. Purcell. (Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press, 2021. Pp. xvi, 283. $48.00, ISBN 978-1-62190-589-9.) Displacement narratives have long occupied a central place in Appalachian literature and film. Fictionalized stories of love, conflict, and loss that unfold when Duke Power or the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) come to town appear in works ranging from Ron Rash's novels to the star-studded 1960 film Wild River. Taking such legacies of dams and lost towns as its starting point, Lost in Transition: Removing, Resettling, and Renewing Appalachia, a [End Page 802] collection of essays edited by Aaron D. Purcell, offers a cohesive and welcome antidote to the relative paucity of historical studies on loss and displacement in the modern South. Of course, prominent works by economic and environmental historians do show well how dams and national parks reshaped the modern South. But few of these histories have centered the local experiences and memories of displacement fundamental to the region's twentieth-century history as effectively as Lost in Transition. Not simply a critique of the bureaucratic "progress narrative" that was central to public and private land actions, this collection shows the power of local histories to peel back the layers of the physical and imagined landscapes of the South and reveal pasts often hidden in plain sight (p. 216). Using case studies including the atomic weapons labs of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, dams built by Duke Power and TVA, and three different national parks, the authors explore how intertwined discourses of "progress" and "removal"––formerly used to justify the dispossession of Native Americans––were repurposed to justify removals in the twentieth century. To do so, they rely on a wealth of government documents, oral histories, and local newspapers. This archive of Appalachian dispossession is one of the volume's most important contributions. As Purcell and others show, opening documents hidden behind sanitized, euphemistic labels like TVA's "population readjustment case files" helps expose the emotional and contested process of creating parks, lakes, and dams (p. 41). These archives also reinforce the diversity of Appalachia. As Alyssa D. Warrick and Russell Olwell point out in their respective essays on Mammoth Cave and Oak Ridge, federal documents provide in-depth profiles of Black communities that struggled to remain amid eminent domain and white repression. These essays work well with pieces by Margaret Lynn Brown on the Great Smoky Mountains and by Katrina M. Powell and Savannah Paige Murray on Shenandoah National Park and the New River Valley, which examine how ideas about race, class, and nostalgia influenced later efforts to remember, lament, and protest communal dispossession. In each chapter, oral testimonies––collected both at the time of removal and in more contemporary interviews––offer powerful correctives to the progress narratives that sought to erase these communities. Two of the later essays, Matthew Chisholm's study of Bryson City, North Carolina's "Road to Nowhere" and Stephen Wallace Taylor's conclusion, analyze the fluidity of local memory through the changing politics of Appalachia. Here, the growing resentment toward public land actions owes as much to the New Right and its challenge to the New Deal as it does to local grievances. Historians of the region's environment, politics, and memory should learn from and engage with the valuable insights provided by such in-depth local studies. To the authors' collective credit, the juxtaposition of the rural, small Appalachian communities against the "nearly unstoppable" forces of public and private actors only occasionally strays toward what Taylor calls a "hero narrative" (pp. 186, 216). It is easy to portray displaced communities as tragic figures, often defiant but usually doomed. But at their best, these essays avoid [End Page 803] that temptation by showing how communal memories are constructed and contested. Such stories offer a more fitting elegy for Appalachia, where nostalgic lamentations are both recognized and examined.

These two volumes cover a period of nearly 400 years, from the founding of the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1650 to their presence in the United States during the early years of the twenty-first century. Pioneers among non-cloistered religious, the Sisters of St. Joseph originated in Le Puy, France and spread to the United States in 1836. Their story is dramatic, narrated in many gripping details by Mary McGlone. She follows them from their humble beginnings in a French orphanage through the log cabins of the American mid-west to well-established motherhouses across the United States. [End Page 70] Volume I begins with mid-seventeenth-century France and explores both the traditional and newly discovered and somewhat controversial sources of the congregational foundations. After spreading throughout southeastern France, the sisters' work was halted by the French Revolution. Mother St. John Fontbonne restored the congregation in Lyon in 1808 and sent eight sisters to St. Louis, Missouri in 1836. Their story during the nineteenth and into the early twentieth century occupies the rest of this volume. It is a story of courage and determination, along with conflict and frustration. In the mid-nineteenth century, America was mission territory for the Catholic Church. McGlone paints a vivid picture of settlers in need of religious education and clergy determined to offer it to them. The First Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1852 strongly urged the establishment of Catholic schools, and bishops strove to enforce it by recruiting women religious. At their invitation, sisters moved frequently to new assignments. Within the first two decades of their arrival, the Sisters of St. Joseph went to Philadelphia in 1847, to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1851, Wheeling, West Virginia in 1853, and Canandaigua, New York in 1854. From there they continued to move across the United States as far as California in 1912, and eventually to missions abroad. The author notes two major challenges that faced the sisters: personnel and finances. After the first sisters came from France, the American Sisters of St. Joseph were on their own. Local women slowly came to join them, often opening new missions with little training either in religious life or in the classroom. Their numbers were always insufficient to fill the repeated invitations they received. In addition, their accommodations seldom provided the necessities, if at all. Yet these pioneer women rose to the occasion, many becoming leaders in new foundations, establishing schools, orphanages, and hospitals, and attracting more young women to the congregation. Another problem that faced these pioneers was their relationship with the clergy. The Constitutions of the congregation specified the local bishop as their primary superior. However, the degree of his authority [End Page 71] differed according to the various versions of the rule. It also depended on the bishop or pastor's interpretation. Some congregations, notably Carondelet and Philadelphia, obtained papal approval of their Constitutions, which gave them relative independence. Others chose to remain diocesan communities. Some enjoyed harmonious relations with the local clergy. However, the stories of conflicts between superiors and clergy provide suspenseful reading, which McGlone amplifies with numerous quotations from letters and memoirs. The outcome is sometimes surprising! In the second half of the nineteenth century, it was not unusual for the sisters to move back and forth from one diocese to another. They went...

Sınırlar Karıştığında: Geç Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Köy Ortak Ormanlarının Tahdidi

In 16 January 1905 the village headman of the Kaymarofça (Priştine) and two members of the village councile wrote a petition to Inspectorship of Rumeli Province on behalf of village people, and lodged a complaint with neighbouring villagers of Kraçiçe (Prezrin) along of their encroachment to the village coppice. This was an usual plaint at first blush, however the actual situation was more complex for the case was intervened two different offices: the courts and local councils. In such a context, I propose that to whom belongs village forests and how their borders define in case of controversy constituted main tensions between neighbouring villages. In this paper, on the basis of a conflict story, I will first discuss the problem of jurisdictional question in the Ottoman Empire concerning village forests. Secondly, I will scrutinize the process of trial and demarcation, by focusing on their actors, methods and potential outcomes.
