Transnational political identities
2 likes742 views
This document discusses transnational political and cultural identities among Latinos in the United States. It notes that Latinos have crossed political borders or have been crossed by them, and citizenship is required for political participation but assumes loyalty to a single nation-state. However, immigrant communities develop hybrid identities that incorporate both their home and host cultures, as seen in the paintings of Bibiana Suarez that depict experiences between cultures.

The document discusses how art plays a central role in peacebuilding and maintaining peace. It will present analysis of two art projects from a peacebuilding summer program, focusing on how art communicates through multiple senses, accesses emotions, and encourages expression. Art is presented as a pillar of peace alongside other areas like economy, justice, and equality. Examples are given of different art forms that can foster peace, bring people together, and give voice to stories. The presence of art in a community is said to indicate its health, while a lack of art may suggest underlying issues preventing creative expression.Paul Long: Culturing communities?

This document discusses a research project exploring how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy. The project aims to understand how intermediation engages hard-to-reach communities and how to measure the value of these activities. Key research questions examine how formal cultural intermediation has involved different communities and facilitated their connection to the creative economy. The investigations will take empirical perspectives from within communities in Balsall Heath and Ordsall to understand the dynamic sites of cultural policy implementation and cultural production.Graffiti in Bologna

Presentation at Youth (Sub)cultures in Changing Societies Conference, Centre for Lifestyles Studies, Institute for International and Social Studies, Tallinn University, Tallinn, Estonia, 2-4 February 2011 made by Eugen Glavan.
Abstract
The city of Bologna (Italy) is known for the left wing political options of inhabitants and for the one of the lowest child birth rates in a Europe city. Those aspects, combined with the fact that the city has the largest university in Europe in terms of numbers of students, shapes the local youth culture in a particular way. The paper investigates the visual manner in which young inhabitants of Bologna express themselves in an attempt to identify the characteristics of their public voice. Using the methods of visual sociology, I analyze the graffiti in terms of locations and content trying to explain the process of socialization in a stable and prosperous society. Social Comparison
Social ComparisonCol Mukteshwar Prasad
油
Social comparison theory proposes that people have an innate drive to evaluate themselves in relation to others. There are two types of social comparison: upward comparison, where one compares themselves to those better off to seek improvement, and downward comparison, where one compares themselves to those worse off to feel better about their own abilities. The theory suggests that people use social comparison to accurately assess their skills, abilities, beliefs, and attitudes by comparing themselves to similar peers or reference groups.6 general points to consider in academic writing - TCFEX's Research & Develop...

Difference & Social Privilege
Difference & Social PrivilegeCentral Connecticut State University

The document discusses key concepts around difference, diversity, and privilege. It defines difference as various social and cultural characteristics, diversity as focusing on social differences like race and gender, and privilege as the opportunities and level of access afforded to people based on their social identities. It then provides examples and discussions around civil rights movements and leaders, racism today being different than in the past with more subtle forms like microaggressions, and the role of white privilege in perpetuating ignorance about racism.Identity politics

To suggest, as textbooks tend to do, that politics takes place in a social context fails to convey just how intimately politics and social life are related. Politics, by its very nature, is a social activity, and it is viewed by some as nothing more than the process through which the conflicts of society are articulated and, perhaps, resolved. In this sense, society is no mere 'context', but the very stuff and substance of politics itself. Although later chapters examine the interaction between society and politics in relation to particular channels of communication, such as the media, elections, political parties, interest groups and so on, this chapter focuses on the broader political implications of how society is structured and how it has changed and continues to change. For example, the transition from agrarian societies to industrial societies and then to so-called post-industrial society has profoundly altered levels of social connectedness and given rise to new political battle lines. Not only has post-industrialism been associated with the declining significance of social class, but technological change, particularly in the fields of information and communication, has altered the breadth of connections between and among people, as well as the nature of these connections. These and related factors have been linked to the strengthening of individualism, with major political consequences. Modern thinking about the relationship between politics and society is, nevertheless, increasingly focused on the issue of identity, which, many claim, has given rise to a new politics of group self-assertion, commonly called identity politics. Amongst its other implications, this trend has highlighted the political significance of factors such as race and ethnicity, gender and culture
Post-industrialism is characterized, amongst other things, by an increasing emphasis on knowledge and information generally, with the advent of the internet and the wider use of computer-based technologies having given rise to the 'information society'. Not only do information societies connect more people to more other people, but the nature of those connections has also changed, especially through the development of looser and more diffuse networksIdentity politics

This document summarizes Robert Bailey's book "Gay Politics, Urban Politics: Identity and Economics in the Urban Setting." Bailey argues that identity politics, not just economics, shape urban policymaking. He examines how the gay and lesbian identity and community have politically impacted cities in the US. The summary discusses how Bailey defines identity and its importance in politics. It also outlines the key demographic trends and voting patterns of gays and lesbians that determine where and how they influence urban policies. Case studies are used to show how identity politics have successfully changed policies at the local level over time.Political culture

It explains that while each social science focuses on a different aspect of social life, they are also interrelated. For example, sociology studies modern societies and social institutions, anthropology studies primitive cultures, history studies past events, political science examines government and politics, psychology analyzes individual behavior, and economics deals with economic activities and organizations.

This document discusses Exeo-Borderism, an art movement dealing with cross-cultural identity along the US-Mexico border. It aims to break down physical and ideological barriers related to immigration, preserve cultural identity across borders, and respond to anti-immigration rhetoric. The movement has its roots in the Chicano movement of the 1960s-80s and addresses issues like homeland, borders, and the politicization of human bodies. Several pioneer artists in the movement, like Rupert Garcia and Juan Sanchez, are profiled for incorporating political messages addressing racism, cultural identity, and Puerto Rican independence into their work.Obitel 2012 - Transnationnalization of Television Fiction in Ibero-American C...

Nearly 32 million Hispanics in the US are of Mexican descent, and the majority worry about deportation. Latino identity encompasses terms like Hispanic, Latino, and country of origin, and preferences vary across generations and locations. The borderlands region shares cultural aspects between the US and Mexico due to immigration, trade, and other factors. Central and South Americans have diverse backgrounds but little shared identity beyond language in some cases, and their future assimilation or economic prospects remain uncertain.Living Here & There

This document discusses the concept of transnationalism among immigrants. It defines transnationalism as immigrants regularly engaging in economic, political, and socio-cultural activities in both their country of origin and country of settlement. This builds transnational social fields that connect the two countries. The document provides examples of common transnational activities and discusses how the contexts of exit from one's home country and modes of incorporation in the new country can facilitate or hinder transnationalism.13It is About Art to Communicate Thoughts and Feelings

Abstract
Art is a powerful tool for communicating experiences and evoking emotions. It is one of the oldest forms of human communication, used to express thoughts and feelings about big and small things. The earliest known cave paintings date back more than 30,000 years. Today, art continues to express complex emotions and experiences, from the joy of seeing a beloved person to the fear of being separated from family members. This essay demonstrates that art such as murals and installations have the power to communicate, spark change, and exhibit resistance and resilience by claiming spatial ideologies through the construction of visual subjectivity. Furthermore, it aims to add layers of visual discourse by validating the role of digital photography in transforming borders. Through digital photography, the act of resistance seizes and holds the capacity to spread art beyond the place it was created and produced. Thus, photography can be part of the force to transform space and place beyond the physical borderland.
Images do not only serve as a visual to interpret subject matter regarding marginalized issues. Still, they should be viewed through multiple lenses, models, and approaches as they get produced through multi-layered scuffles, lived experiences, and generational memory. Through the use of relevant literature, the essay also discusses images of artwork that were created on the U.S-Mexico border wall between 2011 and 2017 in response to migratory policies and further militarization of the border.
Introduction
The boundary between the United States and Mexico has long been a site of political contention, with the two countries jostling over the right to control it. But the borderlands between the two countries, though they are physically distinct, are not just political or geographical spaces: they are also artistic (Rivera, 2020). The borderlands are a series of sites where artists have explored the borderlands' human, political, and cultural complexity. And the borderlands have become a place where artists have sought to make sense of the world around them and help us understand the complexity of our world and our place in it. However, much of the stuff people remember from art across borders is the outright protest art that vehemently tackles themes like human rights, immigration, and bi-national policies. Even the fence itself has been used as a canvas for influential paintings and installations. Nevertheless, border art has continued to use the wall and the people who cross it as a concept, developing performances pieces or other multimedia works meant to challenge perceptions of the international border (Garcia, 2018). The nexus between arts, culture, and immigration have long been studied in cultural studies and the humanities. The use of art to spearhead ...13It is About Art to Communicate Thoughts and Feelings

The boundary between the United States and Mexico has long been a site of political contention, with the two countries jostling over the right to control it. But the borderlands between the two countries, though they are physically distinct, are not just political or geographical spaces: they are also artistic (Rivera, 2020). The borderlands are a series of sites where artists have explored the borderlands' human, political, and cultural complexity. And the borderlands have become a place where artists have sought to make sense of the world around them and help us understand the complexity of our world and our place in it. However, much of the stuff people remember from art across borders is the outright protest art that vehemently tackles themes like human rights, immigration, and bi-national policies. Even the fence itself has been used as a canvas for influential paintings and installations. Nevertheless, border art has continued to use the wall and the people who cross it as a concept, developing performances pieces or other multimedia works meant to challenge perceptions of the international border (Garcia, 2018). The nexus between arts, culture, and immigration have long been studied in cultural studies and the humanities. The use of art to spearhead ...Cv meteo rythmos

Latin American music has its origins in the indigenous, African, and European musical traditions that were brought together during the colonial period. The differences in musical forms throughout Latin America can be explained by these colonial influences and the development of national identities after independence. Contemporary Latin American music such as salsa, bossa nova, and nueva canci坦n demonstrate the hybrid nature and continued evolution of musical styles in the region through blending diverse cultural influences.

Popular culture in Latin America includes expressions like salsa, samba, religious rituals, masks, weaving, and oral stories that originate from subordinate classes. In the 19th century, popular culture became intertwined with notions of national identity. Popular culture represents the whole way of life and produces symbolic forms of expression. It involves syncretic religious practices like pilgrimages, festivals, and morality plays. Governments have both promoted popular culture to represent the nation but also pushed for modernization. Popular culture offers alternative ways of life and identity compared to Western culture. Mass media like radio, television, and telenovelas act as a bridge between traditional and modern aspects of society. Popular culture can be a site of resistance and
