Bluegrass Music

Neighborhood cultural and political development in 1960s and 1970s Cincinnati coalesced around music, a positive expression of urban Appalachian culture. United Appalachian Cincinnati embraced folk-revival bluegrass and established new advocacy. Mike Maloney, Ernie Mynatt, and Stuart Faber helped Appalachians receive federal money via agencies addressing urban issues. Main Street Bible Center, Appalachian Identity Center, and the Appalachian Heritage Room were early manifestations. The Urban Appalachian Council emerged in 1974. Earl Taylor was lionized as the “authentic” bluegrass musician. After 1960, musicians honed their skills to his music at Ken-Mill Café. In the early 1970s the Katie Laur Band played in schools. Cincinnati’s Appalachian Festival—begun in 1970—highlighted positive aspects of mountain culture, including music and crafts.

AbstractThis article argues that the granting of responsible government to Yukon in 1979 was not the inevitable outcome of territorial political development but the result of a protracted and organized settler political movement that emerged first in opposition to the federal government and, later, to Yukon's Indigenous peoples. I analyze settler actor political behaviour and outcomes using the framework of “contested colonialism.” Non-Indigenous Yukoners are understood as actors who simultaneously bring colonialism to the North while also contesting elements of that same colonial order. Using extensive archival research, I identify several critical junctures leading to the implementation of responsible government during the 1960s and 1970s.

The Resistance at the root of Italian democracy is still the object of political and often controversial debate, 60 years on. This is related to the various phases of political development in Italy: from the early post-war years, characterized by the conflict associated with the ideological clashes of the Cold War, to the 1960s and 1970s, afflicted by terrorism, to the fall of the Berlin Wall and then to the collapse of the party system. Diverse, sometimes conflicting memories of the Resistance have emerged, linked not only to the numerous forms characterizing the struggle against Nazi–Fascism, but also to the varying motives, ideals and politics which animated fighters on both sides. With the new bipolar political system and the rise of the Right, the Resistance has returned to being one of the most prominent features of political controversy. This manifests itself in editorial strategies and extensive media operations in which memories representing those people who are opposed to the ideals of the Resistance seem to have the upper hand.

The Union of Polish Cities in the Second Polish Republic, 1918–1939: Discourses of Local Government in a Divided Land

The new Polish state was founded more than 100 years after Poland's partition by Prussia, Russia and Austria. The partitioned Polish lands had been included one way or another in the administrative structure of the ocupying powers, and the individuals who became active in urban issues in the new state were socialised by associations established by the partitioners. Poland became not only a arena for a meeting of Prussian, Russian and Austrian imaginations about local government but also a place with a great variety of municipal praxises as well. The author analyses different meanings of local government with special attention to those employed by municipal officers from Warsaw and Cracow within the Union of Polish Cities. There were strong regional cleavages in the Union, but the political development of the Polish state strengthened centralisation and the Union itself remained united.

Resumo O entendimento sobre o conceito de saúde sexual e reprodutiva (SSR) é relativamente recente e tem conhecido transformações substanciais ao longo do tempo, resultado de um conjunto de fatores socioculturais, políticos e médico-científicos, que permitiram reconhecer que os indivíduos têm o direito a desfrutar da sexualidade de uma forma livre e esclarecida. As mudanças no contexto histórico, social e cultural que atravessaram todo o século XIX e XX influenciaram claramente a SSR em Portugal. Mudanças que foram mais significativas na segunda metade do século XX, observando-se nas décadas de 1960 e 1970 a promoção da contraceção e planeamento familiar, a legislação sobre sexualidade juvenil e o acesso dos jovens às consultas de planeamento familiar. Na década de 1980 e seguintes, a generalização do acesso à contraceção e os debates sobre a sexualidade juvenil e políticas de educação sexual. Nestas décadas, surgem novas preocupações relacionadas com pandemia do VIH/SIDA, que obrigam a equacionar os comportamentos sexuais como fator de risco para a saúde. Entre 2000 e 2010, assiste-se à integração da educação sexual em todos os níveis de ensino, com exceção do pré-escolar, numa aceção verdadeiramente democrática da educação sexual. Mais recentemente, realidades emergentes como a democratização do uso da internet e das redes sociais, levantam novos desafios e novos riscos para a saúde que não devem ser negligenciados. Com este artigo pretendemos descrever e analisar o desenvolvimento político-social e dos cuidados na SSR em Portugal, como garantia do direito à informação e a serviços de saúde de qualidade, acessíveis a todos os cidadãos. Palavras-chave: Cuidados de saúde; Políticas; Saúde Sexual e Reprodutiva. Abstract The understanding of the concept of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is relatively recent and has undergone substantial transformations over time, as a result of a set of sociocultural, political and medical-scientific factors that have allowed the recognition that individuals have the right to enjoy of sexuality in a free and enlightened way. Changes in historical, social and cultural context that crossed all the nineteenth and twentieth century clearly influenced the SRH in Portugal. Changes that were most significant in the second half of the twentieth century saw the promotion of contraception and family planning and legislation on youth sexuality in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s and beyond, the generalization of access to contraception and debates on youth sexuality and sexual education policies In recent decades, new concerns about the HIV/AIDS pandemic have arisen, and there is a need to address risky sexual behavior. Between 2000 and 2010, the integration of sex education at all levels of education, with the exception of preschool, in a truly democratic sense of sex education is observed. More recently, emerging realities such as the democratization of the use of the Internet and media, pose new challenges and new risks to health that should not be neglected. With this article we intend to describe and analyze the socio-political development and care in the SRH in Portugal, as a guarantee of the right to information and quality health services, accessible to all citizens.
