The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

In this article we intend to briefly approach the dismantling of the logocentric word that is articulated in the novel The Art of the Word by Enrique Lihn. We will give account of how the novel insists- above all- on the hidden aggression behind discourses, especially that of the paternalistic imposition of language and the authoritarian nature that constitutes it. We will see that -in the novel- these attributes will be represented by the character of the Protector. It will allude to the dictators who have affected Latin America and more specifically will be talking about the dictator, Augusto Pinochet. But also, it will give account of how the discourses sponsored by these dictators are nothing more than a neurotic repetition of the old foundational discourses. In this case, we will analyze the subversion that Lihn makes of the different Hispano-American essays that served to shape the cultural, political and educational structures that prevail -to a greater or lesser extent- up to our days and that are perpetuated in dictatorships such as Pinochet's. We will analyze how Miranda- fictional space of the novel- will become for us the representation of the obscurities of the Spanish-American collective personality and of those perversions that have not been assumed by the conscious, so that they continue to perpetuate themselves in time. The analysis we will make of some intertexts will invite us to remember at each step the character of construction that the discourses have and will invite us to problematize the places in which these are disarticulated and in which they come to degrade our category of person. ; En este artículo pretendemos aproximarnos brevemente al desmonte de la palabra logocéntrica que se articula en la novela El Arte de la Palabra de Enrique Lihn. Daremos cuenta de cómo la novela insiste -sobre todo- en la agresión escondida detrás de los discursos, especialmente el de la imposición paternalista del lenguaje y el carácter autoritario que lo constituye. Veremos que -en la novela- estos atributos estarán representados por el personaje del Protector. Este aludirá a los dictadores que han asolado Hispanoamérica y más específicamente a Augusto Pinochet. Sobre todo, dará cuenta de cómo los discursos patrocinados por estos dictadores no son más que una repetición neurótica de los antiguos discursos fundacionales. En este caso, analizaremos la subversión que hace de los distintos discursos ensayísticos hispanoamericanos que sirvieron a la conformación de las estructuras culturales, políticas y educacionales que prevalecen -en mayor o menor medida- hasta nuestros días y que se perpetúan en dictaduras como las de Pinochet. Analizaremos cómo Miranda -espacio ficcional de la novela- se irá convirtiendo en la representación de las oscuridades de la personalidad colectiva hispanoamericana y de aquellas perversiones que no han querido ser asumidas por el consciente, de modo que siguen perpetuándose en el tiempo. El análisis que haremos de algunos intertextos nos invitará a recordar a cada paso el carácter de construcción que tienen los discursos y nos invitará a problematizar los lugares en los que estos se desarticulan y en los que llegan a degradar nuestra categoría de persona.
