Al revisar los programas electorales de los partidos que presentaron candidaturas en las últimas elecciones generales de 2017 en Alemania y Austria, llama la atención que el uso de VOLK no se limita ...únicamente a los partidos populistas. No obstante, se plantea la pregunta acerca de si VOLK significa siempre lo mismo, tanto semántica como referencialmente, con independencia de quien lo use. Más exactamente, ¿quién estaría incluido y quién excluido al usar VOLK? Partiendo de un análisis léxico de tipo cuantitativo y cualitativo de corpus, el presente trabajo se centra en el estudio de esta cuestión, analizando los programas electorales de los partidos que, en ambos países, se presentaron a las mencionadas elecciones.
Through an ethnographic and comparative study of rituals in a "tribal" region of Odisha, this book, in its core, deals with indigenous conceptualizations of sovereignty. The local proverb that ...connects the ritual of the king with those of his subjects epitomizes the idea of shared sovereignty that hinges sacrificial co-responsibility in navigating the flow of life.
Purpose of Review
Epidemiological studies of short- and long-term health impacts of ambient air pollutants require accurate exposure estimates. We describe the evolution in exposure assessment and ...assignment in air pollution epidemiology, with a focus on spatiotemporal techniques first developed to meet the needs of the Multi-ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution (MESA Air). Initially designed to capture the substantial variation in pollutant levels and potential health impacts that can occur over small spatial and temporal scales in metropolitan areas, these methods have now matured to permit fine-scale exposure characterization across the contiguous USA and can be used for understanding long- and short-term health effects of exposure across the lifespan. For context, we highlight how the MESA Air models compare to other available exposure models.
Recent Findings
Newer model-based exposure assessment techniques provide predictions of pollutant concentrations with fine spatial and temporal resolution. These validated models can predict concentrations of several pollutants, including particulate matter less than 2.5 μm in diameter (PM
2.5
), oxides of nitrogen, and ozone, at specific locations (such as at residential addresses) over short time intervals (such as 2 weeks) across the contiguous USA between 1980 and the present. Advances in statistical methods, incorporation of supplemental pollutant monitoring campaigns, improved geographic information systems, and integration of more complete satellite and chemical transport model outputs have contributed to the increasing validity and refined spatiotemporal spans of available models.
Summary
Modern models for predicting levels of outdoor concentrations of air pollutants can explain a substantial amount of the spatiotemporal variation in observations and are being used to provide critical insights into effects of air pollutants on the prevalence, incidence, progression, and prognosis of diseases across the lifespan. Additional enhancements in model inputs and model design, such as incorporation of better traffic data, novel monitoring platforms, and deployment of machine learning techniques, will allow even further improvements in the performance of pollutant prediction models.
This volume brings together prominent international scholars involved in both Western and indigenous social work across the globe - including James Midgley, Linda Briskman, Alean Al-Krenawi and John ...R. Graham - to discuss some of the most significant global trends and issues relating to indigenous and cross-cultural social work.
"The practice of ceremony offers ways to build relationships between the land and its beings, reflecting change while drawing upon deep relationships going back millennia. Ceremony may involve ...intricate and spectacular regalia but may also involve simple tools, such as a plastic bucket for harvesting huckleberries or a river rock that holds heat for sweat. The Art of Ceremony provides a contemporary and historical overview of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon, through rich conversations with tribal representatives who convey their commitments to ceremonial practices and the inseparable need to renew language, art, ecological systems, kinship relations, and political and legal sovereignty. Vivid photographs illuminate the ties between land and people at the heart of such practice, and each chapter features specific ceremonies chosen by tribal co-collaborators, such as the Siletz Nee Dosh (Feather Dance), the huckleberry gath
Challenging narratives of Indigenous cultural loss and
disappearance that are still prevalent in the archaeological study
of colonization, this book highlights collaborative research and
efforts to ...center the enduring histories of Native peoples in North
America through case studies from several regions across the
continent.
The contributors to this volume, including Indigenous scholars
and Tribal resource managers, examine different ways that
archaeologists can center long-term Indigenous presence in the
practices of fieldwork, laboratory analysis, scholarly
communication, and public interpretation. These conversations range
from ways to reframe colonial encounters in light of Indigenous
persistence to the practicalities of identifying poorly documented
sites dating to the late nineteenth century.
In recognizing Indigenous presence in the centuries after 1492,
this volume counters continued patterns of unknowing in archaeology
and offers new perspectives on decolonizing the field. These essays
show how this approach can help expose silenced histories, modeling
research practices that acknowledge Tribes as living entities with
their own rights, interests, and epistemologies.
Belief in divine privilege or God’s creation of a volk is fundamental a motif in the propulsion of the superiority of one race against another in the world, ipso facto, the continuous management of ...systems of knowledge, authority, economics, and a ‘world civilization’ now quintessentially fundamentalist and racially fascist are effects of this deeply hidden and coded belief. Apartheid simply, is a zenith of this supersessionist (replacement of Israel from the Bible with European white) world enunciated since the justification of the commodification and dispensability of black lives. To elucidate this thesis, this article first offers a presentation of Cone’s theological grammar. Second, we punctuate the value of self-criticality as an indispensable criterion by demonstrating that Cone was engaged critically in Black Theology of Liberation’s (BTL) internal discourses not only to clarify the relationship between Sunday and Saturday religiosities, but to distinguish and distance BTL from idolatrous imaginations of knowledge and history. Black faith oozes from the volcanic, rapturous explosion that dismantles the divide between Sunday and Saturday religions. Third, we make the point about the ghettoization of Cone’s theology at its gestation and by this we seek to demonstrate this continuous relegation of the school to residential alienation and nihilism in the battle of ideas. For this reason, the article argues, cracking the “Western code,” to break the coalition of black experience with the white power structure, is the space where BTL might have to dwell in the battle of ‘New Blood Rivers.’
This book supports the formal education of all Indigenous children who live in different circumstances in different countries, taking Indigenous philosophy as its starting point, while recognising ...that in many colonial and post-colonial circumstances, Indigenous knowledge, culture and language may not be valued.
