Migrants' Voices: Negotiating Autonomy in Santa Cruz
In: Latin American perspectives, Band 37, Heft 4, S. 108-124
ISSN: 1552-678X
The regional autonomy movement based in Santa Cruz draws on long-standing regional divisions, and it has solidified amid the breakdown of the elite-led political party system and the national election of Evo Morales and the Movimiento al Socialismo (Movement Toward Socialism—MAS). Critics and national government supporters view regional autonomy as a defensive stance taken by elites against the redistributive policies, expansion of indigenous sovereignty, and widening popular democracy under the MAS. But lowland regional leaders and elites have begun to present autonomy as inclusive and popular in order to broaden support and challenge the Morales government. Largely removed from debates over autonomy are migrants to the rapidly urbanizing city of Santa Cruz who in many cases experience uneven integration into host communities. Despite the autonomists' efforts at fostering inclusion and popular buy-in, highland migrants' support for autonomy is weak, while lowland migrants generally favor autonomy and skilled highlanders—more integrated into Santa Cruz—tend to support it conditionally. Migrants of all three groups perceive class disparities within the city to be as salient as regional and ethnic divisions.

Making Our Voices Heard: Power and Citizenship in Central Florida's Black Communities
This thesis examines the impacts of government policies on community mobilization in Orlando's Parramore neighborhood and the all-black town of Eatonville in Central Florida. The scope of this thesis covers the history of both communities from their formation in the 1880s to the end of the twentieth century. This research reveals the relationships between the predominantly black residents of Parramore and Eatonville and the largely white government officials over the development and maintenance of each community. By understanding the social creation of both communities during the era of Jim Crow, this thesis reveals the differing levels of power each community possessed that would impact their ability to turn their defined black spaces into black places. Moving forward, each community had to adjust to the impacts of integration that weakened the communal bonds that helped the community endure Jim Crow. However, in detailing the rise of citizen activism in the post-World War II period, the theory of infrastructural citizenship shapes this thesis in revealing how black residents in Parramore and Eatonville exercised their rights as citizens in making their voices heard surrounding various infrastructural changes. While their efforts did not always achieve their ultimate goals, it forced decision makers to anticipate and accommodate the opinions of the residents impacted by these decisions. This thesis uses historical analysis to place Parramore and Eatonville within the broader social, political, and economic contexts of events occurring in Florida, the American South and the country at large. ; 2019-08-01 ; M.A. ; Arts and Humanities, History ; Masters ; This record was generated from author submitted information.

Methodologies of voice : towards posthuman voice analytics
This paper rethinks the concept of voice in ways that resist normative humanist assumptions and explores the possibilities of an alternative posthuman ontologics of voice for qualitative praxis. I sketch the contours of a feminist posthuman phenomenology of voice in which the embodied, material, relational, and transcorporeal qualities of breathy bodies are foregrounded. Thinking with the figurations of 'breathy embodiment' and 'diffractive voices', I introduce posthuman voice analytics as a form of qualitative praxis. Five central aspects of posthuman voice analytics are outlined, namely: multivocality, process, interruption, dialogicality and the situated politics of listening. ; https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/methods-in-psychology ; pm2021 ; Sociology

Voices beyond the Urals [The discovery of a central State archive*]

Golfo Alexopoulos. Voices beyond the Urals: The discovery of a central state archive. The Center for Preservation of a Reserve Record is an enormous warehouse of state documents located in the western Siberian town of Ialutorovsk. It was built after the death of Stalin as a repository and not an archive, and was closed to researchers until 1992. The Center's primary and unique function is the maintenance and storage of microfilms or back-up copies (strakhovye fondy) of important archival documents from both the Tsarist and Soviet periods. In addition to the microfilms, however, the Center stores a vast collection of original documents, printed material, sound recordings and films which were moved to this remote site from their original storage in various central state archives in Moscow. This study is the first to list the contents of the Center's vast collection, but also seeks to illustrate the importance of the Center's holdings by focusing on a group of documents stored there, the case files and individual petitions of the lishentsy or the disenfranchised from the 1920s and 1930s. A systematic sampling of these petitions can help historians to explore a variety of new questions, such as the victim's response to repression and the ways in which political membership was contested and constructed in the new Soviet state.
