AbstractJoann Kealiinohomoku's Silhougraphs®, traces of the silhouettes of dancers, were her attempt to operationalize her cultural relativist commitments and create a new method of dance analysis. Silhougraphs illuminate underexamined scholarly presumptions, methods, and tools that both contributed to and paralleled the emergence of dance studies as a discipline. Silhougraphs are also a cautionary tale demonstrating the ways culturally sensitive research commitments and methods can unintentionally yet decisively reiterate tools and logics of racist typologies.

Abstract In the method described, the black or white ground pepper sample is slurried with water and wet sieved. The pepper residue is defatted during the sieving step. Flotation extraction of the sieved material utilizes a combination of n-heptane-mineral oil as the oil layer over 40% isopropanol. Collaborative studies resulted in reproducible recoveries and light-to-medium laden filter papers. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official first action to replace 40.109(b).

We describe and discuss a new method which records only information concerning an object's dimensions in black and white photographs. Since the differences in grey values that derive from the object's colors are eliminated, these photographs are then used to produce true relief illustrations for the blind with detail and precision, rapidly and inexpensively.
