Workers and the Local Response to the Third Plague Pandemic in Iquique (Chile, 1900-1903)

By studying the Third Plague Pandemic in Iquique, Chile, this article aims to contribute to the recent trends of scholarship that emphasize the global scope and impact of historical pandemics in local contexts. It examines how the local population and especially saltpeter workers understood, contested, and even neglected the epidemic due to local tensions. Methodologically, this paper relies on an ample array of sources, with an emphasis on sociocultural artifacts produced by local residents, such as poetry, newspapers of the working class, and cartoons. We conclude that in Chile the epidemic that affected Iquique in May 1903 revealed the government’s inability to respond to epidemic outbreaks manifesting in areas far from Santiago, the capital city. In Iquique, the workers and lower classes responded massively, denying the epidemic. The popular sources reveal an anti-central government and anti-big capital sentiment that ultimately led Iquiqueños to perceive the plague as a hoax.By studying the Third Plague Pandemic in Iquique, Chile, this article aims to contribute to the recent trends of scholarship that emphasize the global scope and impact of historical pandemics in local contexts.

Ele examina como a população local e especialmente os trabalhadores do salitre compreenderam, contestaram e até negligenciaram a epidemia devido às tensões locais. Metodologicamente, este artigo se baseia em uma ampla gama de fontes, com ênfase em artefatos socioculturais produzidos por residentes locais, como poesia, jornais da classe trabalhadora e caricaturas. Concluímos que, no Chile, a epidemia que afetou Iquique em maio de 1903 revelou a incapacidade do governo de responder aos surtos epidêmicos que se manifestavam em áreas distantes de Santiago, a capital. Em Iquique, os trabalhadores e as classes populares responderam de forma massiva, negando a epidemia. As fontes populares revelam um sentimento antigoverno central e antigrande capital que, no final das contas, fez com que iquiqueños percebessem a praga como uma farsa

Communicating Corporate Social Responsibility and Brand Sincerity: A Case Study of Chipotle Mexican Grill\u27s \u27Food with Integrity\u27 Program

Using a multidisciplinary case study approach, including in-depth interviews, a survey and text analysis, this research analyzes how U.S.-based fast-casual restaurant chain Chipotle Mexican Grill purposefully communicates its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs to its publics and how its brand personality is perceived by its brand community. Previous research (e.g., Hoeffler and Keller, 2002) asserts there is a linkage between an organization\u27s emphasis on CSR strategic communication efforts and its perceived brand sincerity. The results of this study indicate that Chipotle\u27s most devoted public, its brand community, perceives sincerity to be the most salient dimension of Chipotle\u27s brand personality. Theoretical implications are discussed

Agenda setting and agenda melding in an age of horizontal and vertical media: A new theoretical lens for virtual brand communities

This study tests agenda-setting theory and the agenda-melding hypothesis in the context of brand actors and virtual brand communities. The aggregate attribute agendas of brand-controlled communications, news media content, and a virtual brand community are analyzed. The results indicate a positive relationship between the brand agenda and brand community agenda, and an unexpected negative relationship between the media agenda and brand community agenda. In terms of agenda melding, the data indicate that the brand community, when divided by various demographic measures into subgroups, reflects attribute agendas that remain similar to the aggregate brand community agenda. © 2009 AEJMC

Ciudadanía, cultura política y representación en el Perú : la campaña electoral de 1850

Entre junio de 2000 y noviembre de 2002 los peruanos se acercaron en cinco ocasiones a las urnas con el propósito de elegir a sus autoridades. No una ni dos, sino cinco veces. Esta recurrencia resulta atípica desde que en 1809 se ordenó que los peruanos, en ese entonces vasallos del cautivo Carlos IV, procediesen a votar por primera vez y escogiesen a sus representantes en el Cabildo y en las Cortes en Cádiz. En este lapso, y sobre todo desde mediados del siglo XIX, las elecciones se han convertido en un elemento estructural de lo que denominamos democracia, pero el problema no termina con la concurrencia de los ciudadanos a las urnas. Desde el 2000 al presente hemos sido testigos de un masivo despliegue de movilizaciones, rituales y demostraciones de lo que los entendidos llaman “ciudadanía”. Así, las elecciones han sido solo una parte de la actividad política de diferentes sectores de la sociedad que han considerado insuficiente proclamar mediante el sufragio a sus representantes y han querido también complementar esto con lavados de bandera, marchas y el masivo empleo de medios de comunicación para lograr sus propósitos.Tesi

Professional Profiles, Pedagogic Practices, and the Future of Guitar Education

In recent decades, guitar education has emerged as a discipline in PreK-12 institutions alongside “traditional” music education such as band, orchestra, and chorus. Despite the substantial body of literature containing practical advice on teaching guitar, research-supported scholarship is lacking. Additionally, this body of literature suggests a lack of congruency between curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher preparation among guitar educators. The purpose of this study was to provide an evidentiary-based understanding of the professional profiles and pedagogic practices of guitar educators. A multi-phase investigation was conducted. In Phase One, a large sample (n = 1,269) of guitar educators participated in the Guitar Educator Questionnaire (GEQ). Findings from the GEQ suggest a low (7.9) percent of music educators who teach guitar class consider themselves to be “guitar specialists.” A substantial number of respondents (68.5 percent) indicated that they rarely or never participated in guitar related professional development, and 76.1 percent of respondents reported that their pre-service training provided little or no preparation for a career in guitar education. A purposeful sample of six “exemplary” guitar educators contributed pedagogy-focused interviews and video teaching samples in Phases Two and Three. Data from the three phases were analyzed according to principles of thematic analysis in order to identify potential pathways toward the continued growth and maturation of guitar education
