Extractions: The module presents a rich landscape of images and texts that is intended to stimulate investigation by teachers and learners. It is structured as an image database comprising sources relating to textile design and dress in Britain from the 1940s to the 1960s. Although it has been designed for the BA degree Level One student, researchers of fashion studies, textiles and costume, at all levels, should find it a rich and varied source of visual and written information. Moreover, the images may suggest research pathways to students and scholars from a broader range of subject fields, for example, those working in the disciplines of fashion illustration, photography, graphics, and art and design education. The module is divided into two time periods. The first section entitled Utility/Austerity covers the late 1940s and early 1950s, the second, Reconstruction/Materialism, the late 1950s and 1960s. Within these periods the content is arranged under four headings, Knitting Patterns, Sewing Patterns, Textile Design and Dresses. The module can be explored thematically across these time and subject-based classifications, by using the Keyword Search option. Keywords are indicated beneath each image and elaborated on in the Keywords section.The

Consumers chose among a wealth of new products, many developed from wartime innovations, including polyester fabricsârayon, dacron, orlonâand new household appliances such as freezers, blenders, and dishwashers. Manufacturers urged new models on consumers. Americans acquired more private debt with the introduction of credit cards and installment plans. Home mortgages increased the debt burden. Businesses tried to increase consumer spending by investing more money in advertising, especially in television ads.

Extractions: WEB LINKS Introduction What is legal anthropology? Scholars disagree over the definition, but broadly speaking, legal anthropology seeks to illuminate the ordering of human society. There seems to be a consensus over the past century that law is an important component of culture that anthropologists should study, and so many anthropologists who might not consider themselves to be A legal anthropologists have produced important works in legal anthropology. Self-defined legal anthropologists are found in anthropology, criminal justice, area studies departments, and law schools. In addition, it is important to note that there are applied legal anthropologists, some of whom work with indigenous peoples on such issues as land claims, self-determination, and environmental protection. Brief History of Legal Anthropology Maine advances evolutionary approach to legal anthropology. Malinowski calls for ethnographic study of law. Hoebel revives evolutionary model. Gluckman and Bohannan debate the application of Anglo-American legal categories to non-Western societies.

In The Nuyorican Experience Memorias de Bernardo Vega (Memoirs of Bernardo Vega) Puerto Rican literature of this first stage showed many of the signs of an immigrant literature, just as the community itself, still relatively modest in size, resembled that of earlier immigrant groups in social status, hopes for advancement, and civic participation. The published writing was overwhelmingly of a journalistic and autobiographical kind: personal sketches and anecdotes, jokes and relatos printed in the scores of Spanish-language newspapers and magazines that cropped up and died out over the years. It is a first-person testimonial literature: the recent arrivals capturing, in the home language, the jarring changes and first adjustments as they undergo them. Yet the analogy to European immigrant experience was elusive even then, long before the momentous changes of midcentury made it clear that something other than upward mobility and eventual assimilation awaited Puerto Ricans on the mainland. The most important difference, which has conditioned the entire migration and settlement, is the abiding colonial relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States. Puerto Ricans came here as foreign nationals, a fact that American citizenship and accommodationist ideology tend to obscure; but they also arrived as a subject people. The testimonial and journalistic literature of the early period illustrate that Puerto Ricans entering this country, even those most blinded by illusions of success and fortune, tended to be aware of this discrepant, disadvantageous status.

Extractions: CIA Reference Notes The Condon report did not satisfy many UFOlogists, who considered it a coverup for CIA activities in UFO research. Additional sightings in the early 1970s fueled beliefs that the CIA was somehow involved in a vast conspiracy. On 7 June 1975, William Spaulding, head of a small UFO group, Ground Saucer Watch (GSW), wrote to CIA requesting a copy of the Robertson panel report and all records relating to UFOs. Spaulding was convinced that the Agency was withholding major files on UFOs. Agency officials provided Spaulding with a copy of the Robertson panel report and of the Durant report. On 14 July 1975, Spaulding again wrote the Agency questioning the authenticity of the reports he had received and alleging a CIA coverup of its UFO activities. Gene Wilson, CIA's Information and Privacy Coordinator, replied in an attempt to satisfy Spaulding, "At no time prior to the formation of the Robertson Panel and subsequent to the issuance of the panel's report has CIA engaged in the study of the UFO phenomena." The Robertson panel report, according to Wilson, was "the summation of Agency interest and involvement in UFOs." Wilson also inferred that there were no additional documents in CIA's possession that related to UFOs. Wilson was ill informed.

Alpers On the TV show , the mother of the title characters (who are early-twenty-first-century, middle American kids, one of whom will grow up to become president of the United States) is a radical, women's studies professor at a fictional university in Missouri. Like most of Hollywood's fictional humanities professors, Grace McCallister (Christine Lahti) is largely shown spouting banalities, quoting famous thinkers, speaking in grand abstractions. Almost inevitably, as a radical humanist, she discusses existentialism. Existentialism in America is a very worthy subject for a scholarly monograph. Exploring American existentialism can provide us with a better understanding of American thought and culture during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, the decades of existentialism's greatest influence. And the rise of existentialism to cultural and intellectual importance is a fascinating example of the international flow of ideas, a subject about which there lately has been much scholarly interest. It is surprising, then, that George Cotkin's

Extractions: Vancouver National Historic Reserve Archaeologist Fort Vancouver is above all an archaeological site. While history has recorded the important events and people who visited, worked, and lived at the fort, it is the discarded fragments of tools, the food bones, and the architectural remains that are, quite literally, the foundation on which the park was built. It is because of archaeology that the reconstruction of the structures and their furnishings are so accurate and detailed. Archaeologists have been digging Fort Vancouver for over 50 years, producing more than 65 reports, articles, reviews, master's theses, and Ph.D. dissertations. In contrast the Hudson's Bay Company used the site for only 35 years (1825-1860) and while they were certainly more numerous, they could hardly be said to be more enthusiastic. Incidentally, the U.S. Army used it for 95 years (1849-1946), while prehistoric Native Americans probably used it for many thousands of years. The history of archaeology at Fort Vancouver is a window on the history of archaeology in North America.
