Abstract:In 2019, former Vogue Brasil style director, Donata Meirelles, posted a photograph on her personal Instagram, celebrating her fiftieth birthday, where she sat in between two standing Black women, dressed in gowns reminiscent of slavery. The image immediately went viral as activists, academics, and civil society protested the photo’s depiction of persistent structural racism, proclaiming that the Black women were hired as mucamas, or house slaves, for a slavery-themed party. The Black women in the photograph are baianas de receptivo, who work as hosts for private and public events; a livelihood that is little understood. This article argues that the baianas’ agency was negated in the polemical discourse surrounding the photograph, which suggested that these women contribute to their oppression by performing this kind of labor. Through interdisciplinary research, including ethnography and semi-structured interviews, and advocating for the careful and political act of listening, this article centers the voices of the baianas to reveal the daily complexities of the baiana de receptivo livelihood, their cultural specificity, and how they operate in the current social and economic spheres of Bahia, Brazil. Ultimately, the baianas experienced a double erasure of agency rooted in both the long history of Brazilian racialized and gendered narratives and this polemical instance in which baianas were not invited to the conversation, despite being the subjects of debate. By analyzing the political efficacy that baianas have attained in contemporary Brazil, this article provides a more nuanced understanding of the photograph and proposes listening, as a frame for more equitable debates.
摘要：2019年，前《Vogue Brasil》风格总监多纳塔·梅雷莱斯在她的个人Instagram上发布了一张庆祝50岁生日的照片，她坐在两名站着的黑人女性中间，穿着让人想起奴隶制的礼服。这张照片立即在网上疯传，活动人士、学者和民间社会抗议这张照片对持续存在的结构性种族主义的描述，宣称黑人女性被雇为奴隶或家奴，参加一个以奴隶制为主题的派对。照片中的黑人女性是baianas de receivevo，她们是私人和公共活动的主持人；鲜为人知的生计。这篇文章认为，在围绕这张照片的争论中，拜亚纳斯的代理权被否定了，这表明这些女性通过从事这种劳动来助长她们的压迫。通过跨学科研究，包括民族志和半结构化访谈，并倡导谨慎和政治的倾听行为，本文以巴伊亚人的声音为中心，揭示巴伊亚生活的日常复杂性、他们的文化特性，以及他们在巴西巴伊亚当前的社会和经济领域中的运作方式。最终，由于巴西种族化和性别化叙事的悠久历史，以及尽管是辩论的主题，但巴亚纳人没有被邀请参加对话的争论性例子，巴亚纳夫妇经历了双重身份的消失。通过分析巴亚纳人在当代巴西所获得的政治效力，本文对这张照片有了更细致的理解，并建议将倾听作为更公平辩论的框架。

Abstract:In Prácticas descoloniales: El movimiento de resintencia cultural y lingüística, Tseltal Maya scholar and educator Daniel Ochoa shows how an Indigenous perspective can bring forth ideas about language and education. He combines resistencia /resistance and intención /intention into resintencia, a decolonial practice based on nurturing Indigenous culture. The focus is not just on opposing colonial forces, but also, like jaguars faced with capitalist encroachment, maintaining indigenous tradition in the face of global pressures. I consider Ochoa’s ideas on Indigenous educational and cultural practices in light of Maya jaguar ontology, as well as in comparison with biological studies of jaguar behavior.

Drawing from Tsotsil Maya sholar and poet Manuel Bolom Pale’s examination of Tsotsil linguistic epistemology Chanubtasel-p'ijubtasel: Reflexión filosófica de los pueblos originarios, I compare this with Zapatista concepts as described in Dylan Eldredge Fitzwater’s Autonomy Is in Our Hearts: Zapatista Autonomous Government through the Lens of the Tsotsil Language. Together these works show how Maya writers and educators, and citizens on Maya autonomous lands, are living a jaguar ontology that strives to keep balance in the world.
摘要：Tseltal Maya学者和教育家Daniel Ochoa在《殖民地的实践：文化与文化的迁移》一书中展示了土著视角如何带来关于语言和教育的思想。他将抵抗/抵抗和意图结合在一起，形成了一种基于培育土著文化的非殖民化实践。重点不仅是反对殖民势力，而且像面临资本主义侵占的美洲豹一样，在全球压力下保持土著传统。我从玛雅美洲豹本体论的角度，以及与美洲豹行为的生物学研究的比较，来考虑奥乔亚关于土著教育和文化实践的想法。然后，我思考萨帕塔主义者如何将类似的resintencia和美洲豹本体论思想融入他们的政治实践中。根据Tsotsil Maya sholar和诗人Manuel Bolom Pale对Tsotsil的语言认识论Chanubtasel-p'ijubtasel:Reflexión filosófica de los pueblos originarios的研究，我将其与Dylan Eldredge Fitzwater的《我们心中的自治：从Tsotsil语言的视角看萨帕塔自治政府》中描述的萨帕塔概念进行了比较。这些作品共同展示了玛雅作家、教育工作者以及玛雅自治土地上的公民如何生活在一个努力保持世界平衡的美洲豹本体中。

Abstract:This article focuses on Texas-based artist Adriana Corral’s temporary memorial Unearthed: Desenterrado (2018), a white cotton flag hoisted sixty feet above the site of a former bracero processing center located near the United States-Mexico border in Socorro, Texas. For the three months that it flew above Rio Vista Farm, Unearthed: Desenterrado acknowledged the contributions of braceros who helped to build the United States’ infrastructure and cultivate its crops between 1942 and 1964. This article situates Unearthed: Desenterrado within contemporary art trends that address the racially motivated exclusion of Mexican and Mexican American histories and individuals from mainstream narratives in the United States. Building from memory studies and borderlands arts pedagogy scholarship, the paper investigates artwork produced to contest the contours of US history by inserting lesser-acknowledged accounts into the public sphere.

Abstract:This paper endeavors to expose the mechanics of U.S. empire building through the battle between one forgotten man and his superior over how the construction of the Panama Canal should be remembered. The essay explores the previously unexamined diaries and photographs of Aurin Bugbee (A.B.) Nichols, an Office Engineer who worked for the Isthmian Canal Commission (ICC) from 1904–1915. In his archive of over a thousand pages, Nichols catalogued the smallest details of the canal’s construction. However, within the reams of meticulous scientific analysis, Nichols also questioned the triumphalist narrative of Panama, written by his boss at the ICC, its official Secretary and unofficial propagandist, Joseph Buck-lin Bishop. Nichols felt particularly compelled to protest when Bishop – a man appointed by President Roosevelt and later endorsed President Taft — privileged a flattering, rather than factual, depiction of the Zone. Nichols even created a minority report to counter Bishop’s authoritative valuation of the canal; whereas Bishop wished to present America’s purchase favorably, Nichols’s assessment revealed that the U.S. had slightly overpaid for the land. In his various publications, Bishop suppressed the engineer’s dissenting opinion, suggesting how creators of the official narrative must quiet opposing voices in order to present a uniformly powerful version of national acquisition. Still, Nichols continued to resist in subtle ways, even though he confined his grievances to fastidious letters and private fulminations. Given his career and his temperament, Nichols largely remained the dutiful bureaucrat. Moreover, his preference for detailed accuracy over narrative flourish rendered him incapable of producing a cohesive or sustained history of Panama. Still, his forgotten journals suggest that history is not a monolith. Even though Nichols’s precise calculations helped to construct the canal, his complicated story dismantled Bishop’s version of America’s imperial perfection.

Abstract:In 1964, to head off the victory of Dr. Salvador Allende’s leftist coalition, the U.S. State Department secretly contributed millions to the presidential campaign of Chile’s Christian Democratic candidate, Eduardo Frei Montalva. Simultaneously, under the assumption that economic development could prevent Marxist revolution, Chile became Latin America’s highest per capita recipient of Alliance for Progress funds. But U.S. support came at a cost. President Frei’s subsequent debt of loyalty to Washington undermined his reformist policies to such a degree that Chileans who had elected him with the only landslide majority in Chile’s history began to distrust him. During that same period, university students founded Chile’s Movement of the Revolutionary Left, remembered by its acronym, MIR. This paper uses primary sources to argue that MIR’s call to armed rebellion owed much of its passion and intensity to the failures of Christian Democratic reform and to the perception that Frei’s government amounted to little more than a proxy for U.S. imperialism.

Abstract:This article will explore a question about when the tensions of difference inherent in Latinx heterogeneity are part of the ambiguous and contingent process of political community formation and when they instead disrupt the potential power of a newly forming political community. It brings an anthropological perspective to a political question as it examines the intersection of Latinx racial identifications and class relations with both place-of-origin and place-making in Orlando, Florida. In contrast to Cuban Miami, in Orlando Puerto Ricans make up the overwhelming majority of Latinxs. Using the example of the 2011 redistricting process in Orange County, where Orlando is located, the article unpacks the language and technologies of redistricting and finds evidence of how relations marked by dominance and subordination can be reproduced in a combination of the conscious deployment of power by those who have it and the unconscious inability of others to see the mechanisms of injustice at work.
