A Yupiaq world view : implications for cultural, educational, and technological adaptation in a contemporary worldKawagley, Angayuqaq O. 11 1900 (has links)
This case study examines some of the cultural and educational implications of the intersection of a Western world view and a Yupiaq world view in a remote Yupiaq Eskimo village on the Kuskokwim River in southwestern Alaska. The study examines how the contemporary Yupiaq people have adapted their belief system, educational practices and subsistence lifestyle to accommodate a mix of Western and indigenous cultural traditions and technologies. It involves the documentation of Yupiaq practices in a traditional fish camp and science education in a school setting. The most important vehicle for data gathering was the role of participant-observer, because it was congruent with the way Yupiaq people learn. In addition to patient observation, emphasis was placed on document analysis, informal conversations, and interviews as the primary sources of data from the fieldwork. The study addresses the aspirations of Yupiaq people for self-determination and self-reliance by providing a pedagogical framework which attempts to meld Western and Yupiaq knowledge generation and use, based on the data gathered in the field. Special attention is given to the generation and application of scientific knowledge in a manner suited to the maintenance of Yupiaq cultural traditions and world view in a contemporary world.

The Swahili architecture of Lamu, Kenya : oral tradition and spaceKamalkhan, Kalandar, 1961- January 2009 (has links)
This dissertation is about the architecture of the Swahili peoples living along the eastern coast of Africa. Specifically, it explores the links and relationships between oral traditions, rituals and the built environment of the Waswahili (sing. Mswahili) or the 'people of the coast'. The 'ambiguous' and 'anomalous' identity of the Waswahili raises important questions on the definition and the understanding of Swahili architecture. To understand Swahili architecture, one must, first, understand the language and identity of the Waswahili. This dissertation makes use of new sources for the interpretation of the built environment of the Waswahili as depicted in the standing 18th century buildings in Lamu town, the oldest living town on the eastern coast of Kenya. Designated on UNESCO's World Heritage List, Lamu has a unique architecture that has often been misinterpreted and misunderstood, and such studies often lack authenticity. This dissertation is an attempt to bridge the gap between the identity and the built environment of the Waswahili and to portray Swahili architecture through oral discourse.

Oldtimers, newcomers, and social class : group affiliation and social influence in Lethbridge, AlbertaMarlor, Chantelle Patricia 11 1900 (has links)
The results of an ethnohistorical study of Lethbridge, Alberta led to my
questioning current presumptions in the Canadian social inequality literature
that social class, income, educational attainment, gender and ethnicity are
principal factors in shaping social inequality in Canada. The ethnographic
evidence suggests that membership criteria associated with locally-defined,
historically-evolved groups mark who has political influence (a specific form
of social power), and where the ensuing social inequalities lie in Lethbridge.
A theoretical framework describing how historical circumstances lead to
the redefinition of which socially-defined characteristics become local status
markers is presented as the underlying theoretical orientation of this thesis.
The framework does not preclude the possibility that social groups other than
those studied in this thesis use social class, occupation, income, education,
gender and ethnicity as status characteristics or group membership criteria.
The framework is my attempt to clarify the often-unclear relationship among
social inequality concepts.
A mail-out social survey (N=238) was used to empirically test the
hypothesis that Lethbridge group membership is a better predictor than social
class, income, educational attainment, gender and/or ethnicity of who has
political influence in Lethbridge community decision-making. Data was
analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA), bivariate correlation, and
multiple regression. Mixed levels of support were found for the Lethbridge
group hypotheses, with the "fits in" and "local trade/business people"
receiving considerable support; North/South/West sider, and religious
affiliation receiving some support; and Old-timers receiving no support. In
contrast, the only social inequality hypothesis to receive more than minimal
support was level of education.
It is concluded that status characteristics are more fluid, local and
historically negotiated than assumed in the social inequality literature.
Suggested directions for future theoretical and empirical work include
refinement of the relationships among social inequality variables and further
empirical tests of the theoretical framework proposed here.
