Latest cuts: Another federal ministry announces program closure - the
end of the Women's Health Contribution Program at Health Canada

One more women's program falls victim to federal government budget
cuts; 16-year program provided essential evidence and information on
women's health; group argues for need to consider how women are harmed
by cuts to programs and services.

For immediate release: April 23, 2012

Six federally-funded organizations devoted to research and
communication in women's health learned this week that their funding
will end March 31, 2013.

The Program was critical to funding innovative social policy research,
building community partnerships and providing important mentorship
opportunities for students in women's health. Within a year, the
affected organizations will be forced to either close their doors
permanently or attempt to find funding elsewhere.

The Women's Health Contribution Program (WHCP) has supported: Le
Réseau québécois d'action pour la santé des femmes (RQASF), the
Canadian Women's Health Network (CWHN), the Atlantic Centre of
Excellence for Women's Health (ACEWH), the British Columbia Centre of
Excellence for Women's Health (BCCEWH), the Prairie Women's Health
Centre of Excellence (PWHCE) and the National Network on Environments
and Women's Health (NNEWH), located across the country from Vancouver
to Halifax.

Dernières compressions : Un autre ministère fédéral annonce
l'abolition d'un programme qui marque la fin du Programme de
contribution pour la santé des femmes à Santé Canada

Un autre programme pour les femmes est victime des coupes budgétaires
du gouvernement fédéral; le programme qui existait depuis 16 ans
fournissait des données probantes et de l'information essentielle sur
la santé des femmes; le groupe soutient qu'il est nécessaire
d'examiner l'effet néfaste des coupes dans les programmes et les
services sur les femmes.

Pour publication immédiate : le 23 avril 2012

Six organisations financées par le gouvernement fédéral se consacrant
à la recherche et à la communication d'informations sur la santé des
femmes ont appris cette semaine que leur financement allait prendre
fin le 31 mars 2013.

Le Programme était crucial au financement de recherches en politique
sociale innovatrices, à l'établissement de partenariats communautaires
et à l'offre d'occasions importantes de mentorat pour les étudiantes
et les étudiants du domaine de la santé des femmes. D'ici une année,
les organisations touchées devront fermer leurs portes pour toujours
ou tenter de trouver d'autres sources de financement.

Le Programme de contribution pour la santé des femmes (PCSF) soutenait
les organisations suivantes : Le Réseau québécois d'action pour la
santé des femmes (RQASF), Le Réseau canadien pour la santé des femmes
(RCSF), Le Centre d'excellence de l'Atlantique pour la santé des
femmes (CEASF), Le Centre d'excellence de la Colombie-Britannique pour
la santé des femmes, Le Centre d'excellence pour la santé des femmes -
région des Prairies (CESFP) et le Réseau pancanadien sur la santé des
femmes et le milieu (RPSFM), couvrant le territoire canadien, de
Vancouver à Halifax.

Off the Shelf

In this section we feature papers, podcasts and videos that--while
part of our archives--are still relevant to current events.

Last year, CFHSS issued a submission to the Expert Panel, Review of
Federal Support to Research and Development, recommending adopting a
people-centred approach to R&D that includes the social sciences and
humanities. The submission -
http://cts.vresp.com/c/?CFHSS/474415f45f/e1fb61d7d3/99b31505b7
is worth revisiting, given the recent changes to research funding
announced in this year's federal budget.

World War II and the Final Solution

Declaring war on the United States on December 11, 1941, Hitler stated that
it was the "eternal Jew" that stood behind Roosevelt. In April 1942, Hitler
declared that a brain trust made up of Jews had driven Roosevelt into war,
against America's better interests. The influence of the Jew, Hitler
claimed, explained what at first seemed incomprehensible: the alliance
between Western democracies-Jewish capitalism-and the Soviet Union.

In November 1941, Goebbels stated that "every Jew is our enemy, whether he
scrapes out a parasitic existence in Berlin or Hamburg, or blows the
trumpets of war in New York or Washington." Goebbels declared in June 1943
that Jews were behind Roosevelt, behind Churchill and, hidden in the
Kremlin, the "real bearers of Bolshevism." The "international Jew"-building
bridges between the United States, Great Britain and Soviet Union-was the
"mortar" that held the coalition together.

On this rhetoric, the Nazis generated a World War that killed over 50
million people. A fantasy or ideology with no foundation in reality
generated monumentally destructive historical events.

After the Second World War, two lines of research evolved: one focusing on
the conventional narrative of warfare, the other on an extraordinary event
that came to be called the Holocaust. Jeffrey Herf

> documents that Hitler and Goebbels did not consider the Final Solution and
World War II distinct events. Rather, the Nazis conceived of war and
genocide as fronts of one apocalyptic battle: a struggle to remove Jews from
the face of the earth. As the Nazis implemented the Final Solution, they
simultaneously waged a "war of annihilation" in the Soviet Union in order to
"exterminate" Jewish Bolsheviks.

A standard text used by mental health professionals to classify mental
disorders-The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM)-defines delusion as a "belief held with great conviction in spite of
having little empirical support." An individual may be diagnosed as deluded
or paranoid when he holds firmly to a belief that is "utterly unwarranted by
the evidence." However, the DSM introduces a caveat: a belief cannot be
considered paranoid if it is "ordinarily accepted by other members of a
person's culture or subculture." By definition-according to psychiatric
diagnosis-Hitler, Goebbels and other Nazis were not paranoid.

Nonetheless, Daniel Goldhagen

> states that upon reading anti-Semitic texts, one would be hard-pressed to
conclude that they were anything but the product of the "collective scribes
of an insane asylum." Based on extensive research on mass murder, Johan van
der Dennen
<http://rechten.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/FILES/root/Algemeen/overigepublicaties/2005e
nouder/EVIL_GEN/EVIL_GEN.pdf> observes that though it is hard to imagine
that normal people embrace ideas equivalent to the delusional systems of the
insane, historical evidence suggests that entire societies have been
persuaded to accept the most "absurd calumnies about minority groups."
Psychiatrist Anthony Storr states that the portrayal of various groups as
enemies emanates from a fantasy comparable to "paranoid delusions found in
psychotic subjects."

Despite their paranoid belief system, Hitler and Goebbels were not
psychotic. Looking beyond their world, it becomes evident that many elements
of Nazis ideology (e.g., the identification of a single class of people as
the source of evil in the world) are quite common or ordinary. Indeed,
paranoid logic is a central dimension of many political ideologies.

The Continuing Influence of Paranoia in Enemy Creation

This volume seeks contributions on how ideologies of enmity can be
constructed on ideas and fantasies with little or no foundation in reality.
How can we understand the fact that delusive systems of belief frequently
are embraced within societies-giving rise to systematic forms of violence
and destruction to which we give names like war, genocide and terrorism?

This anthology will explore the dynamics of enemy creation: how fantasies
construct reality. How does belief in the power of an omnipotent enemy
generate political ideology-and history?

Questions to consider include but are not limited to:

* The symbolic meaning of the Jew
* Metaphors of biology and disease in Nazi ideology
* The relationship between war and genocide
* The enemy as a force that destroys one's nation
* The enemy as heretic or non-believer
* How paranoid ideas take hold within society
* Methods employed by leaders to convey their ideas
* Metaphors of the enemy
* The significance of "rescue fantasies" in political ideology
* The enemy within one's body
* Political ideology and binary systems of thought
* What one seeks to "kill off" in killing enemies

We would especially like to include in this volume:

* Case studies of enemy creation.
* Papers employing discourse or metaphor analysis: How does rhetoric
embody the idea of the enemy?
* The relationship between the psyche and ideology: How do fantasies
support cultural ideas?
* The relationship between psyche and history: How do fantasies and
ideologies give rise to societal institutions and historical actions?

CFP AAA 2012 - small correction

Thanks for your patience

CFP AAA 2012

Session organizers Melissa Biggs and Jonathan Bodinger are proposing a
session to the Council of Museum Anthropology for the 2012 American
Anthropology Association meetings in San Francisco entitled, "Crossing
Exhibition Borders: Telling Museum Stories in Unmuseum Places." They are
seeking proposals to fill one remaining space on the panel proposal
attached. Topics with international themes particularly welcome, but all
papers that deal with the session themes will be considered. Please submit
your abstracts to Melissa Biggs (<mailto:melisub@yahoo.com>
melisub@yahoo.com) and John Bodinger de Uriarte(<mailto:boding@susqu.edu>
boding@susqu.edu) by April 10th, 2012.

Crossing Exhibition Borders: Telling Museum Stories in Unmuseum Places

Organizers: Melissa Biggs and John Bodinger de Uriarte
Discussant: Joshua Bell, National Museum of Natural History

A tribal office between the American Girl mega store and the SpongeBob
Square Pants Rock Bottom Plunge. A stuffed buffalo looking out onto an
array of high-stakes slot machines. An exhibit in a town marketplace. An
open storage room in a university museum. Each of these vignettes
potentially frames a juxtaposition of the vernacular—shopping malls,
casinos, markets, hotel lobbies, and workplaces, for example—and designed
exhibitions that border on, or fully exemplify, the museological. These
are the potential ironies and border-crossings that invite rethinking
conventional museum spaces and practices.

With this in mind, our panel poses the following question: how can
museological practices vex the rubrics of curatorship and exhibition in
spaces both formal and vernacular? This panel recognizes exhibition space
as permeable and able to present multiple interior and exterior
possibilities for making sense—or different kinds of sense—in the gaps and
fissures that exceed formal museum space. It also recognizes that museum
spaces, both traditional and experimental, are powerful locations for
negotiations of sovereignty, nationhood, and tradition. How are the
borders of such exhibition spaces blurred or crossed in the practices of
self-representation? Cultivating such spaces permits the reworking of
conventional curatorial and viewer boundaries, from the contemplative to
the distractive, valuing the possibilities suggested by decentered
reception, and provoking new ways to imagine exhibitions and their
multiple publics.

INDIVIDUAL ABSTRACTS (alphabetical order)

Resorting to Nature: Claiming Identity at Barona Valley Ranch Resort and
Casino
Melissa Biggs, Independent Scholar

Tucked into the rocky hills east of San Diego, the Barona Valley Ranch
Resort and Casino invites visitors to "enjoy the best of San Diego's
resorts, with the casino gaming of Las Vegas." Operated by the Barona Band
of Mission Indians, the Resort and Casino was for several decades a
working ranch. It makes much of its scenic location, promoting the nature
paths and various gardens on the grounds and its commitment to
"environmental sustainability." A winding driveway leads visitors past a
sculpture group evoking Native spirits. The hotel, casino, and other
buildings have rustic exterior detailing recalling the ranching past;
brands that belonged to Barona Valley ranching families are impressed into
the concrete walkways. The hotel's interior continues these particularized
references, with reproductions of photographs depicting ranching scenes
decorating its walls. Aside from some token decorative touches, however,
the sleek casino avoids the bucolic. It displays the Blackjack Hall of
Fame, featuring exhibits about professional players and experts, and one
dedicated to cheaters and cheating.

This paper examines the connections, both overt and indirect, that public
spaces at the Resort and Casino makes between place as natural—native—and
place as cultivated. I argue that by presenting evidence of themselves as
both the inheritors of the valley and its resources, and as its careful
curators, the Barona establish a dual claim to legitimacy as nation, one
that draws on claims linked to the past through heritage and to the
present and future through managerial acumen and appropriate use.

Wag(er)ing Histories, Staking Territories: Crossing Museological and
Vernacular Borders John Bodinger de Uriarte, Susquehanna University
Since the passage of the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, Indian gaming
has become a site and set of practices for scrutiny, often focused on the
authenticity of Native claims to sovereignty. Native sovereignties depend
on especial claims to histories, figured through registers of land and
language, politics and self-representation. These claims are often
supported through the self-representational practices of displays in
public spaces either created specifically for, or made to accommodate,
exhibitions using text, objects and images.
This paper raises the following questions: how do some contemporary tribal
nations re-articulate claims to past selves through present-day Indian
casinos, and how are these projected past selves re-animated through
contemporary gaming practices? I focus on the lobby exhibition at The Spa
Resort in downtown Palm Springs, owned and operated by the Agua Caliente
Tribe of Cahuilla Indians. Objects in this exhibition—in particular, The
Chief, a 1936 slot machine – concretizes ways to think about recognizing
and renegotiating the past. As a nostalgic object, The Chief both offers a
generalized and stereotypical working of "the Indian" as a site for
projected history, and as a confirmation of the present. As an
affirmation of sovereignty, The Chief references the Agua Caliente Tribe
of Cahuilla Indians as able to both own and display this object in the
lobby of their own spa and resort, an institution connected to (and partly
made possible by) a sovereign nation status claimed and verified through
the expression and negotiation of inherited political and cultural
continuity.

'CultureLab': Blurring boundaries between
Museum/Storage/Laboratory/Classroom at the Haffenreffer Museum of
Anthropology, Brown University

Emily Stokes-Rees and Steven Lubar, Brown University

Over the past few decades, American university anthropology museums and
anthropology departments have moved in opposite directions. The strengths
of museums – material culture, archaeological and traditional ethnographic
collections, outreach to broad audiences – are increasingly uninteresting
and irrelevant to many anthropologists, whose research has evolved to
focus more on the social life of modern, urban societies and issues of
globalization.

And so, with faculty and students using museum collections less and less,
the anthropology museum must redefine and remake itself, and re-engage its
audiences, or risk obsolescence. They must find new ways to connect to the
university missions of teaching and learning. They must expand their
contacts, connections, and influence within anthropology and across the
disciplines.

This paper describes that transition at Brown University's Haffenreffer
Museum of Anthropology - a two-year effort attempting to reinvigorate the
museum, to make it "Brown's teaching museum." The museum hired new staff
to focus on a much broader set of university connections; changed its
exhibit style to involve more students and faculty, and to cover more
subjects; and, most importantly, reworked part of its exhibit area into a
new space called 'CultureLab', a combination open storage, seminar room,
and material culture laboratory, an innovative space which blurs the
boundaries between traditional museum exhibition, storage, and lab, and
which challenges us to re-think the contemporary role of the university
museum.

Marketing New Nationalisms: Patriotic Identities Within and Beyond
Museological Borders in the People's Republic of China

Cory Willmott, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville

In China, heritage collecting has a long history among the elite landed
gentry and members of monastic communities. Public museums, however, did
not appear until the rise of Chinese nationalism, and the adoption of
Western educational models, during the first half of the twentieth
century. The proliferation of public institutions devoted to the
collection, study, and display of heritage items on Western museological
principles was spurred on by the unearthing of ancient archeological sites
as a consequence of accelerated construction and public works projects.
From the 1950s until the 1980s, many of these heritage sites, artifacts,
and cultural institutions languished in neglect, or were actively
destroyed. Since the early 1990s, however, national economic
liberalization programs have focused on exhibitory modernity both as a
strategy for inspiring national patriotism at home, and for gaining
legitimacy abroad as an economically modern nation-state.
Simultaneously, regional authorities have invested in representational
practices as a means of marketing local culture. Both central and
regional exhibitory practices stimulate foreign and domestic tourism. In
both contexts, museological principles have spilled over into the
seemingly opposed realms of spiritual and economic public spheres, as well
as into domestic spaces. This paper compares case studies of contemporary
Chinese museums in Beijing, the capital, and in Sichuan Province. It
likewise examines museological representations in temples, historic towns,
and marketplaces in both locations. It thereby sheds light on museum
praxis in the context of tensions in emerging Chinese nationalisms among
economic ideologies as well as among diverse regions and ethnic groups.

CFP AAA 2012 - The Organization of work and politics in marine fisheries

Dear All,

We are seeking one or two additional papers to join our double panel session
proposed for the AAA 2012.

If you are interested please contact me (charles.menzies@ubc.ca) with an
idea of what your paper would be on.

TITLE: ³The organization of work and politics in marine fisheries.²

ABSTERACT: Fisheries simultaneously embody anachronistic intimate workspaces
and the most advanced elements of globalization. Most fish is still
harvested by the direct application of human labour working on board vessels
with crews ranging from 1 to 20 people. Fishermen (most practitioners of
this trade are still men and the few women often insist on the androcentric
label fishermen) typically work under extreme conditions and in close
proximity to their crew mates for days, if not weeks, at a time. There is a
camaraderie in this world that is rarely in evidence in many other
contemporary workplaces. But fisheries also exist in a highly globalized
market place in which capital, products, and materials transit the globe as
freely as any other 21st century commodity. Fish are often processed in
large scale industrial factories. Very often these factories are located
thousands of miles from where the fish was originally off-loaded. Despite
the close proximity of the on-board working conditions many local fleets are
owned by large scale businesses that know no national borders. The ideas and
information regulating fisheries and the associated ecological debates are
also global in nature and, while these debates have local impacts, they are
more often than not guided by global concerns rooted far from the
communities that catch the fish. The papers in this session draw from a
selection of detailed case studies of the organization of work, the
structure of local and global antagonisms, and the manner by which the
particularisms of the local intersect and ­perhaps- transgress the global in
this venerable way of life.

Bye for now,

Charles
