Abstract (sommario):
In the minds of Californians, then, Mulholland’s aqueduct represents a historical pivot; a before-and-after event when farmers lost and the city won; a moment when Los Angeles began to soak the desert with water and populate it with people. The idea that the city is an actual desert disguised by uninhibited water theft has permeated the minds of policy makers and popular culture (i.e. “Chinatown”) for so long that it is hard to rectify the map above with the “genesis myth” of the Owens River Aqueduct. Yet, in the minds of engineers in 1888 (when the population of Los Angeles stood at around 50,000—roughly half the size of Santa Monica today), Los Angeles—particularly West Los Angeles, was anything but a parched landscape. This map, in fact, reveals an incredibly complex series of patchworks containing irrigation lines (both newly constructed and older Rancho era Zanjas), “moist areas,” pipelines, washes, creeks, streams, swamps, rivers, canals, wells, and of course, the large and still wild Los Angeles River.

Abstract (sommario):
Fotonovelas, or photo-based comics, are a form of popular visual culture with a long history within Latin America and US Latinx communities. In 2016, I was part of a cross-disciplinary team of scholars from University of California, Los Angeles, who partnered with the East LA Community Corporation (ELACC)—through an Urban Humanities Initiative funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Based in Boyle Heights, ELACC is a community-driven development organization focused on building affordable housing for local residents and improving quality of life in the neighborhood. Given the lack of engagement of residents in large-scale development projects, ELACC urged us to develop an urban humanities pedagogical and political tool for a campaign promoting just transit-oriented development (TOD). Our team draws on the fotonovela medium in a community-driven TOD campaign due to its ability to bridge multiple epistemological and praxis divisions in urban struggles, community organizations, and marginalized communities. I present the resulting fotonovela and examine how it politicizes narratives that challenge current urban development processes.

Jacobs, Elizabeth. "The Theatrical Politics of Chicana/Chicano Identity: from Valdez to Moraga". New Theatre Quarterly 23, n. 1 (16 gennaio 2007): 25–34. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0266464x06000601.

Abstract (sommario):
Critical opinion over the role of popular culture in relation to ethnic and cultural identity is deeply divided. In this essay, Elizabeth Jacobs explores the dynamics of this relationship in the works of two leading Mexican American playwrights. Luis Valdez was a founding member of El Teatro Campesino (Farmworkers' Theatre) in California during the 1960s. Originally formed as a resistance theatre, its purpose was to support the Farmworkers' Union in its unionization struggle. By the early 1970s Valdez and the Teatro Campesino were moving in a different direction, and with Zoot Suit (1974) he offered a critique of the race riots that erupted in East Los Angeles during the summer of 1943, the subsequent lack of reasonable judicial process, and the media misrepresentation of events. Valdez used setting, music, slang, and dress code among other devices to construct a sense of identity and ethnic solidarity. This provided a strong voice for the Chicano group, but at the same time a particular gendered hierarchy also distinguished his aesthetic. Cherríe Moraga's work provides a balanced opposition to that of Valdez. Giving up the Ghost (1984) helped to change the direction of Chicano theatre both in terms of its performativity and its strategies of representation. Elizabeth Jacobs explores how Moraga redefines both the culturally determined characterization of identity presented by Valdez and the media representation of women. She also utilizes theatrical space as a platform for a reassertion of ethnicity, allowing for the innovation of a split subjectivity and radical lesbian desire. Giving up the Ghost, Jacobs argues, provides a trenchant critique of communal and popular culture discourses as well as a redefinition of existing identity politics.

Abstract (sommario):
An enjoyable overview of the world of pop, rock and politics in Beijing, accessible for students of Chinese culture and popular music studies. This is an area that has been exceptionally well covered in the literature, and Baranovitch's claim to originality lies mainly in his focus on ethnicity and gender. The overview of the development of pop from 1978–97 does a useful job of drawing together the various strands, though most of this is very familiar from the writings of Geremie Barmé, Andrew Jones et al. We begin with the introduction of Gangtai (Hong Kong and Taiwan pop) to the mainland, led by Deng Lijun whose ‘coquettish nasal slides,’ Baranovitch rightly suggests, were more truly subversive in China in 1978 than any of the subsequent rock and punk styles. Baranovitch chronicles the rise of the xibeifeng, the Shaanbei folk-infused rock style, linking it into the xungun roots movement and Tiananmen. An interesting section on qiuge or ‘prison songs,’ popular in 1988, explores somewhat less well-known territory. We follow the rise of the commercial, the karaoke craze and Mao fever, and the co-option of at least some of the rebellious rockers by the state. Baranovitch enthusiastically reveals the significance of music in the political arena, and its ability to prefigure, even shape the political.

Goldberger, Stephanie. "Mexican-Americans in Los Angeles: Strengthening Their Ethnic Identity Through Chivas USA". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/307.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
A large Mexican-American population already exists in Los Angeles and, with each generation, it continues to rise. This Mexican-American community has maintained its connection to its heritage by playing and watching soccer, Mexico’s top watched sport. In this thesis, I analyze how Major League Soccer's Chivas USA serves as an outlet through which many Mexicans in Los Angeles have developed their ethnic identities. Since the early twentieth century, Mexicans in Los Angeles have created separate residential communities and sports organizations to strengthen their connections with one another. To appeal to Mexican-Americans, Chivas USA has branded itself closely to its sister team Chivas Guadalajara of Mexico. I explore how Chivas USA's Mexican-American fans have responded to the team's arrival in Los Angeles by forming three different supporter groups — Legion 1908, Union Ultras, and Black Army 1850. By interviewing members of the Union Ultras and Black Army 1850, I learned their beliefs towards a range of issues, including: why they support Chivas USA rather than the Los Angeles Galaxy and how they view the poor representation of Mexican-American players on the United States National Soccer Team. As I conclude, these supporter groups have increased in number and diversity as Chivas USA has grown in popularity. To increase its Mexican-American fan base and to sustain professional soccer in Los Angeles, Chivas USA should relocate to a new stadium for the Major League Soccer's 2013 season and consider rebranding its name to "Chivas Los Angeles."

Abstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT Punk moved from a marginal subculture to an underground counter-culture -- hardcore punk -- which shared musical culture and sense of a communal identity. Local punk scenes grew, in part due to attention from mass media. New kids in the scene brought new tensions and attracted the attention of authorities. Two police incidents signaled a shift in the punks' view of themselves. I examine two punk scenes from 1975 to 1985 in Los Angeles, USA and Ljubljana, Yugoslavia by looking at newspapers, television programs, fanzines, music, and clothing. I show that a loosely connected group of individuals, self-identified as punk, became increasingly similar as the parent cultures put increasing pressure on punks.

Abstract (sommario):
In this dissertation, I argue that Douglas Sirk was attempting to dissolve the boundaries of the cinematic medium by assimilating elements of avant-garde art, architecture and design into the colour, composition and settings of many of his most popular studio produced films. While the exaggerated artifice of this director�s formal style has often been remarked upon, it has yet to be interpreted in the light of his detailed cognisance of the major art and architectural movements of the period, which include German Expressionist painting and Machine Age Modernist design. This is a lacuna that my thesis should at least partially fill, since I have shown that Sirk�s highly self conscious visual approach was deeply influenced by the artistic debates that were taking place in Europe during the 1920s and �30s and in America after World War II. To my mind, there is no doubt that this director�s syncretic mise-en-scène was the result of an interdisciplinary, transnational dialogue, and I have sought to illuminate some of the social, philosophical and political meanings that it seems to convey.

Abstract (sommario):
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Framing theory is one of the most used theories in the discussion of media effects on how people make sense of issues, especially in the political environment. Although it is majorly used for the discussion of news media, framing theory can also be applied in other areas surrounding media production. This thesis uses this theory to discuss how presidents are framed in fiction and implications of race and gender in the assessment of presidential characters by analyzing Fox’s fictional drama 24. Although at first the show seems to bring new options for the presidency, the analysis points Presidents Palmer and Taylor as unfit for office and President Logan as unethical and power-hungry. Following Entman’s (1993) process for analyzing frames in media, embedded white male hegemony was identified in the show. As the show presented a postfeminist and postracial world, it continued to frame femininity and blackness as the opposite to effective executive leadership. Further, white masculinity was associated with power, ambition and ultimately corruption. As other races and gender were pointed as unfit, the status quo was questioned as being corrupt. The show both increases the cynicism that people may develop against politics and damages a more proper consideration of women and people of color to be elected president.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter examines food festivals at the Wat Thai of Los Angeles, the first and largest Thai Buddhist temple in the nation, which was established in 1979, as a window on the relationship between food, race, and place in the suburbs during the 1980s. It charts Thai American suburbanization in the East San Fernando Valley near Wat Thai and traces the history of the temple, including how it evolved into a community space that became popular for its weekend food festivals. The festivals, which attracted thousands of visitors, fostered a public-oriented Thai American suburban culture that was a claim for a "right to the global city." The festivals, however, sparked complaints from a group of nearby residents, who used zoning laws to try to shut them down. The chapter contends that the residents who opposed the festivals articulated a liberal multiculturalism to maintain the white spatial imaginary of the neighborhood.

Abstract (sommario):
The popular image of California beaches as a place of fun and excitement was first established as a marketing venture in 1907 when mixed-raced Native Hawaiian George Freeth was hired to give surfing exhibitions in western Los Angeles. When Freeth joined a local volunteer lifeguard program, his instruction of surfing, swimming, and lifeguarding helped change how Southern Californians perceived the beach because of the persistent problem of drowning. Freeth’s sense of beach culture, drawn from his Native Hawaiian roots, always included women, whom he taught to swim, row, dive, and surf. Though he led an itinerant and often impoverished life because coastal communities did not support year-round lifeguard service, Freeth’s legacy continues to benefit millions of people around the world.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter focuses on the Hollywood Bowl, summer home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and one of the first institutions to support cultural diversity even before that term entered the popular lexicon. The Hollywood Bowl has had a long-running practice of sharing its prestigious stage with Latino artists working in a wide variety of musical genres, from classical to mariachi, romantic boleros to hard-driving salsa and Latin jazz. In 2009, there was much ado about the arrival of Gustavo Dudamel as the philharmonic's latest musical director. However, many of those cheering the move may not have been aware that more than half a century earlier, two Mexican classical composers and conductors—Eduardo Vigil and Carlos Chávez—had taken up the baton as guests of the Philharmonic, performing on separate occasions at the Hollywood Bowl during its first two decades.

Abstract (sommario):
Focused on the period of atmospheric (above-ground) nuclear weapons testing in the continental United States, from 1945 to 1963, this chapter, written by Susan Courtney, does two things. First, it describes some of the basic conditions and infrastructure that shaped the proliferation of films of nuclear weapons tests, including the U.S. government’s secret military film studio dedicated to this work in the hills above Los Angeles, known as Lookout Mountain Air Force Station or Lookout Mountain Laboratory. Second, it turns to the representational legacy that resulted, which was by no means limited to films made by or for the military. More specifically, it considers how footage of atomic tests in New Mexico and at the Nevada Test Site helped to shape the filmic record of nuclear weapons—and popular cultural memory—by framing the bomb in the desert West, arguably the screen space of American exceptionalism.

Abstract (sommario):
Yoga has historically been understood as a spiritual practice, a form of embodied prayer, and it came to United States as part of the nation's fascination with the East. Today, it is often practiced as a form of exercise and mindfulness in settings ranging from Christian churches to gymnasiums. Americans imagine yoga as a secular practice, which has been gendered, racially categorized, and socially classed in a particular way, free from the entanglements of any religious traditions or beliefs. This categorization involves both buy-in and push-back, and this chapter examines three examples of this buy-in and push-back, and the ensuing conflicts and dialogues that arise. It looks at the phenomenon of yoga pants, the practice of Christian Yoga, and the protests of the Hindu American Foundation to show how popular culture and religion interact and create pockets of cooperation and conflict.

Abstract (sommario):
This chapter explores the circulation of characteristically religious patterns and processes through popular culture. Although religious themes might appear in cultural media, popular culture also generates formations that seem to operate like religion. This chapter highlights three ways in which popular culture acts like religion in the formation of communities of sacred allegiance, the devotion to sacred objects, and the rituals of collective effervescence in sacred exchange. Illustrations are drawn from professional sports, consumer products, and entertainment media. As a business enterprise and cultural formation that displays all three of these features, Tupperware can be analyzed as a popular cultural religion, a religion of plastic that demonstrates the plasticity of religion in the modern world.

"Exploring the Features of Social Media to Promote Research Activities". In InSITE 2018: Informing Science + IT Education Conferences: La Verne California. Informing Science Institute, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.28945/3991.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
Aim/Purpose: This paper, explored features of popular social media in promoting research activities for successful integration of information services on social media platforms. Background: Leisure, in the early days, was more aligned with reading and research activities and enjoyed a long term monopoly until the advent of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The society milieu is now accentuated with arrays of technological innovations and academic activities are, therefore, relegated to remnant time resulting from application and the use of ICTs. While reading and research are required more now than ever, social media, as components of ICTs, present their distractive features. However, studies have shown that social media could be incorporated to promote and communicate academic and research activities. Methodology: The paper analytically reviewed empirical literatures on information as obtained from innovative and sustained academic activities, which is a key to research development. The paper also discussed ways academic librarians could adapt and utilize popular social media such as facebook, whatsapp, instagram, badoo, skype, imo, wechat, twitter, blogs, flikr and youtube to provide Library services, Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI), and communicate specialized literature search result, to promote purposeful networking, communication and transfer of information to support teaching and research activities. Contribution: The study reviewed the features of 21st century popular social media, and proffered ways of promoting research and academic culture through the adoption and use of social media platforms by information professionals. Findings: The paper assessed and listed the potentials of the features of social media as a communication tool in academic and research processes, making it possible for librarians to incorporate the features of these communication tools in the discharge of library services in areas such as reference services, professional collaboration, virtual help desk, consortium/resource sharing, selective communication and information, dissemination of knowledge, and information bank. Recommendations for Practitioners: The paper assessed and listed the potentials of the features of social media as a communication tool in academic and research processes, making it possible for librarians to incorporate the features of these communication tools in the discharge of library services in areas such as reference services, professional collaboration, virtual help desk, consortium/resource sharing, selective communication and information, dissemination of knowledge, and information bank. Recommendation for Researchers: With the exponential growth and use of social media as primary mode of communication, this paper elucidated how librarians could utilize such phenomenon to promote academic culture. Researchers are encouraged to capitalize on this opportunity for effective and timely research communication aimed at bridging the research communication gap between developed and developing nation and ultimately, for solving societal developmental problems. Impact on Society: The paper explored the features of popular social media that have the potentials that could be harnessed by librarians to create a 21st century technology enhanced learning arena aimed at bridging the research communication gap between developed and developing nations for societal growth. Future Research: The paper has added to the body of literature to serve as a pivot for researchers with focus on social media and concepts such as learning, research, academic achievement, library services and information profession.

Abstract (sommario):
Anaerobic digestion of high-strength organic wastes, such as Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) has become increasingly popular among wastewater treatment facilities in Southern California [1]. In 2010, the City of Los Angeles’ Hyperion Treatment Plant started running its own FOG Digestion Pilot Project. The project injects processed grease trap wastewater (FOG) into one of 16 anaerobic digesters at the facility. A partnership was formed between the Hyperion Treatment Plant (HTP) and Baker Commodities, Inc., a Grease rendering company located in the City of Vernon. They provide processed grease trap wastewater (FOG) to the pilot project. The plan was to load the digester with increasing amounts of FOG and observe the impact. The parameters monitored in the digester during the test are volatile acids, pH, alkalinity, temperature, and gas production in the digester. The pilot project’s objective was to obtain a 10 to 20% increase in gas production. So far those expectations have been exceeded.
