Academic literature on the topic 'Amelia Bloomer'

This lesson plan can be used with elementary students to integrate reading, social studies, and language arts. You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer is a humorous, yet accurate, account of the beginning of the Women’s Rights Movement. Students learn to make personal connections to women of today by comparing and contrasting past and present roles as well as predicting future roles. The needs of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners are addressed through hands-on activities and the use of technology, and primary sources are used to teach content. Students read other trade books on the lives of various women and make trading cards illustrating important contributions they made to history. Higher-order thinking questions are an integrative part of this lesson.

This article argues for the consideration of the lecture-performance as a genre that offers rich possibilities for critical fashion discourse, one that is uniquely suited to the material, embodied nature of clothing.The article recounts a lecture-performance by Australian-based design group The Stitchery Collective, which explored moments in history that demonstrate fashion’s capacity to resist, rebel and turn the political into the fabulous. From Amelia Bloomer’s bloomers to the sans-culottes of revolutionary France, fashion has acted as a tool and medium for great social protest and momentum for change. In contemporary fashion, local designers in Australia embed counter-fashion ideology into their business practices to offer a counteraction to the more negative effects of capital-F Fashion. The lecture-performance aimed to reframe personal consumption choices in the now, via the political fashion of the past, as politically motivated and most of all, capable of contributing to real change. The Stitchery proposed that in fashion, the personal is political and the political is personal, both throughout history and in the present day. The creative work combined public lecture, historical dress up, contemporary fashion showcase and call to action in an engaging lecture-performance format.

This text analyzes the theoretical and political foundations of the rise process, in Brazil, of forces called neoconservative, neoliberal, extreme right or, simply, the new right, in order to understand their most evident impacts on the construction of educational policy in the country, along with a vision of political economy subsumed to the financial logic and interest of the corporations that control the circulation of capital. It takes, as a paradigmatic example of expression of the conceptions of the new right, the most recent ideopolitical context that legitimized and legitimizes the current federal government. It is supported by both academic bibliography and videographic production, as a way to promote the interface between two sources of opinion formation in the dynamic world of analysis of facts and concepts that produces political ideology and impacts the configuration of policies social.ResumoEste texto analisa os fundamentos teórico-políticos do processo de ascensão, no Brasil, de forças denominadas neoconservadoras, neoliberais, de extrema direita ou, simplesmente, da nova direita, para fins de compreender seus impactos mais evidentes na construção da política educacional no país, em par com uma visão de economia política subsumida à lógica financeira e de interesse das corporações controladoras da circulação do capital. Toma, como exemplo paradigmático de expressão das concepções da nova direita, o contexto ideopolítico mais recente que legitimou e legitima o atual governo federal. Apoia-se tanto em bibliografia acadêmica quanto em produção videográfica, como forma de promover interface de duas fontes de formação de opinião do dinâmico mundo de análise de fatos e concepções que produz ideologia política e impacta a configuração das políticas sociais.Resumen Este texto analiza los fundamentos teóricos y políticos del proceso de ascenso, en Brasil, de fuerzas llamadas neoconservadoras, neoliberales, de extrema derecha o, simplemente, la nueva derecha, para comprender sus impactos más evidentes en la construcción de la política educativa en el país, junto con una visión de economía política subsumida a la lógica financiera y el interés de las corporaciones que controlan la circulación de capital.

When Amelia Bloomer publicly donned pants in 1848 it marked the beginning of a well documented fight for female dress reform in America. Bloomer’s subsequent abandonment of the reform costume several years later led both her contemporaries and modern day scholars to view the movement as a failure. Yet beneath the highly publicized "Bloomer Movement" lay a complex web of individuals, communities, and organizations who sought to challenge and reform female dress. In this paper I examine the notion of equality in female and male fashion in nineteenth century America, and challenge the Bloomerian notion that equated the appropriation of masculine attire with female empowerment. Through an examination of the late nineteenth century aesthetic dress movement I will indicate that though a celebration of “feminine” clothing the aesthetes made a lasting contribution to dress reform and female empowerment.

For over ten years the Western Basin of Lake Erie has been plagued by significant harmful algal blooms (HABs). Lake Erie is a body of water situated between the United States of America (USA) and Canada. The lake provides water to approximately 40 million people and is a considerable source of economic value. The Western Basin of Lake Erie is highly prone to HABs due to the shallow depth and large phosphorus (P) loads received from the large area of agricultural land surrounding the lake and its tributaries. HABs cause extensive ecosystem degradation, have multiple negative health impacts, and cause significant economic losses for the tourism and fishery industries. Five products with P load reducing properties from the three nutrient control categories (biological, physical, and chemical) were chosen to determine how effective their P load reduction pathways were. Additionally, these products were analyzed to determine if they could generate positive remediation effects on the Lake Erie HAB. Of these five products, the technologies Water 3.0 and PO4 Sponge were applied to a Western Basin HAB model generated using the Stella Professional software from ISEE Systems. The two products were modeled individually and collectively to compare the application effects on the HAB model. The model results illustrate the significant reduction in P load and HAB extent that the application of these products at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and within waterways could have. The application of both products at multiple locations within the model showed the greatest P load reduction and nearly eliminated the HAB extent. Unfortunately, the residual P from extensive historical P loading into the lake would prevent such a significant reduction from occurring for over a decade. Current practices and regulations in the Lake Erie Basin are not stimulating P load reductions significant enough to remediate the HAB. As the Western Basin HAB continues to occur annually, the waste stream produced by the HAB remains unutilized. Implementing new and innovative technologies in the basin can generate high quality commodity streams out of the wasted biological algal matter. Meanwhile the implementation of new technologies and practices can help reduce the HAB to a smaller size that would have smaller negative impacts to the economy, health, and ecology.

We always retrieve much information through advertisements. Nowadays, in the tendency of aging, “aging” has obviously become an emerging issue. However, previous research has only focused on elderly’s cognition, health care, or stereotype among advertisements, and seldom employed a “cultural type” perspective to investigate elderly’s image. Therefore, in this study, the purpose is to adopt “cultural type” as a starting point for exploring the differences of elderly’s image in “individualism” and “collectivism”, and employed Businessweek of Taiwan and Bloomberg Businessweek of America as representatives of cultural types. Furthermore, the study also revised the categories which is addressed by Tajima (2008), and employed content analysis as research method. The results indicated that role’s gender, importance, occasion, impression, product types of advertisements in different cultural types significantly influence elderly’s image.

Esta dissertação visa analisar o neologismo Afropolitanismo e o modo como este é desafiado por obras de literatura africana contemporânea através da desconstrução do conceito de “Africanos do mundo”, popularizado por Taiye Selasi, e através da reformulação das suas características. Assim, os romances Americanah (2013) de Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie e We Need New Names (2013) de NoViolet Bulawayo foram as obras escolhidas para esta análise, uma vez que são retratos ficcionais de mobilidade contemporânea Africana que apresentam diferentes perspetivas deste conceito. Ao analisar o percurso de vida das personagens, Ifemelu e Darling, este estudo pretende apresentar outras interpretações do Afropolitanismo que são mais adequadas para descrever os romances em questão. Esta análise irá então tentar compreender não só como é que a identidade das protagonistas foi formada ao fazerem parte da diáspora Africana, mas também como é que um choque cultural influenciou o seu processo de desenvolvimento.
This dissertation aims to analyze the neologism Afropolitanism and how it is challenged by contemporary African novels, deconstructing Taiye Selasi’s popularized concept of “Africans of the world” and reformulating its characteristics. Therefore, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah (2013) and NoViolet Bulawayo’s We Need New Names (2013) were the novels chosen for this analysis, since both are fictional portraits of African contemporary mobility which present different perspectives of this concept. Through an analysis of the characters’, Ifemelu and Darling, life journey, this study will present other interpretations of Afropolitanism that are considered more suitable to describe the novels in question. This analysis will try to understand not only how the protagonists’ identity was constructed as being part of the African diaspora but also how a cultural shock had an impact on their process of maturation.

More than a few of the many new words coined by exuberant Americans were created as insults. Like their counterparts abroad these terms lost their sting over time and became mainstream terminology. Gerrymander is one. By combining the last syllable of “salamander” with the surname of Massachusetts governor Elbridge Gerry gerrymander was meant to make fun of the convoluted Congressional districts drawn in 1812 while Gerry was the governor of Massachusetts. Hoosier was used to ridicule backwoods immigrants new to the new state of Indiana, but in time became the official, non-pejorative way to refer to Indianans. Before it became a name for underwear bloomer was introduced to deride American feminists such as Amelia Bloomer who, during the mid-nineteenth century, wore a type of garb that featured loose trousers worn beneath a billowy skirt. Hurling such insults inadvertently added words to the English language.

A key flaw in the standard, culturalist interpretation is that prohibitionism was a “whitelash” of conservative, rural, nativists “disciplining” of immigrants and blacks. The reality of 1840s New York was completely different: not only were Irish immigrants more likely to be temperate than their nativist, American counterparts (Chapter 5), but the focus of temperance activism—the money-making liquor traffic—was actually in the hands of established white nativists like “Captain” Isaiah Rynders, “Boss” Tweed, and the corrupt Tammany Hall machine. In upstate New York, temperance-abolitionist-suffragist reformers--including Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer, and Susan B. Anthony--began a movement for women’s equality born of their temperance activism. Concurrent with the 1853 World’s Fair in New York, Rynders and his Know-Nothings clashed, physically, with the equal-rights reformers from upstate, whose temperance threatened the financial foundations of the Tammany Hall political machine.

This chapter draws on the discussions in chapter 4 (illegitimacy, links with British editors, Julia Griffiths’s role), to read the reprinting of Bleak House in Frederick Douglass’ Paper. This brings out the novel’s proximity to claimant themes, and it ties the reprinting to dialogues with other periodicals, particularly Dickens’s Household Words. It suggests how Bleak House might read differently in Douglass’s paper, linking crossing sweepers with race, but sitting uncomfortably with its radical readership, particularly in matters of women’s rights and reform. It examines J. R. Johnson’s Uncle William’s Pulpit, an homage to Dickens published by Douglass.

Roth and misogyny, highlighted by attacks by Vivian Gornick, Claire Bloom, and Carmen Callil initiate this chapter and its persistent question: did Roth treat women only as one-dimensional sex objects or as fully rounded personalities with agency and power? Roth’s response, in a series of private documents, argues that women, at least in his life, were always respected and treated equally. He itemizes the key women in his professional career, from his early agent Candida Donadio through such late friendships such as Janet Malcolm, Judith Thurman, Zadie Smith, and Nicole Krauss. The issue of Roth and his father and the writing of Patrimony and the function of writing in the midst of trauma expand the chapter, plus his unparalleled productivity in the 1990s. The focus is on Operation Shylock, Sabbath’s Theater, and the American Trilogy—all this against the background of untangling himself from Claire Bloom, complicated by illness and depression. The impact and misrepresentations in Bloom’s Leaving a Doll’s House, however, complicated by Roth’s contradictory behavior with Bloom, created difficulties, personally and professionally. The increasing presence of death in his writing noted in Sabbath’s Theater and I Married a Communist shape the final pages as Roth’s evolving American identity comes into focus.

For at least several centuries, sargasso has inhabited the Atlantic Ocean, and there are historical records of these algae reaching the Mexican Veracruz State in the Gulf of Mexico. Blooming of sargasso in the southern tropical Atlantic is a current a global problem from Africa to the Greater Caribbean. Since 2015, exceptionally large quantities of sargasso have been arriving intermittently on the Mexican Caribbean coast, affecting coastal ecosystems and tourist beaches. Sargasso includes two holopelagic species, Sargassum natans and S. fluitans, with several varieties. There are no records of sexual reproduction in these species, and the algae are thought to spread exclusively by clonal reproduction by fragmentation. Although sargasso seaweeds have grown in the Sargasso Sea for centuries; they have not been well studied. This chapter deals with historical aspects of these algae, their taxonomic and morphological characteristics, distribution, ecology, and practical uses. Sargasso blooms in the central Atlantic started in 2011. In later years, the bloom developed to extend from West Africa, Brazil, and the Great Caribbean, including West-Indies, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. The pelagic sargasso is a global phenomenon that must be understood by integrating natural history, modern biology, social and economic aspects.

Chapter 4 outlines how a descent to the underworld can symbolize experiences of diasporic populations, including refugees, enslaved peoples, exiles, and immigrants. An African-American man in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon experiences an Odyssean Nekyia, and connects with his family’s past. Amy Bloom’s Away makes parallels between the story of a Jewish refugee to America and the myth of Demeter and Persephone. Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath Her Feet features Orpheus as a rock star whose descent is structured as a passage from India to America. Ann Patchett’s State of Wonder refers to the Orpheus story to address issues of deracination, but also suggests deeper intertexts that invite a critique of corporate plundering of the Amazon. With deliberate citations of ancient texts, these authors exploit the dialectic between home and the underworld to explore issues of diaspora, immigration, exile, assimilation, and nostalgia.
