SUMMARY:The global history of wax prints and its implications on female dress in urban South Ghana
DESCRIPTION:The Orfalea Center for Global & International Studies presents\n“The global history of wax prints and its implications on female dress in urban South Ghana” \nSilvia Ruschak\nGlobal History Working Group\nUniversity of Vienna \nWHEN: Thursday\, June 4\, 2009 — 12:00\nWHERE: Orfalea Center seminar Room\, 1005 Robertson Gym \nThis presentation will focus on the history of textiles – specifically\, the\nglobal history of industrially printed fabrics for the Ghanaian market\ncalled wax prints. The usually colourful and manifold fabrics are nowadays\ncommonly known as traditional Ghanaian fabrics. However\, their history is\nrather young and the result of complex colonial\, economic and cultural\ninteractions. \nIn the mid 19th century Dutch factory owners and merchants tried to conquer\nthe Indonesian batik market with industrially printed imitations of hand\nmade Javanese batik. They however were not successful in satisfying the\nlocal market for various reasons. Entangled economic and colonial\ninteractions brought the fabrics to the former Gold Coast – today’s Ghana –\nwhere they quickly got very popular. Especially since Ghana’s independence\nfrom Britain in 1957 the fabrics have been carrying national as well as\ngendered significances. \nAfter giving a quick overview of the global history of wax prints in the\n19th century and the adaptation of designs to the Ghanaian context I am\ngoing to analyse their importance in contemporary urban South Ghana. How\nare wax prints incorporated into everyday dressing? Who wears clothes made\nof wax prints and when? What is the gender of wax prints? How do they\ncommunicate different constructions of social status\, sexuality and\nnationality? Selected examples from oral history material and public media\nserve as starting point for analysing these questions. They are\nadditionally read against mainly sociological and anthropological theories\nof dressing and fashion. The aim of the presentation is to show how fabrics\nand dressing can be used as rich historic sources to elaborate\nsocio-economic\, cultural and gender related research questions. \nSilvia Ruschak\nSilvia Ruschak is a contemporary historian with a special focus on global\ngender and fashion history. She is working at the Department of\nContemporary History at the University of Vienna where she also teaches and\nis part of the Global History Work Group. She has recently submitted her\nPhD with the title: Fabrics that create global history. Stations in the\ncultural biography of wax prints in urban South Ghana for which she has\ngathered archival material as well as oral sources in Ghana\, Great Britain\nand the Netherlands. During her stay at the Orfalea Center\, Silvia Ruschak\nis going to research into the question in how far fabrics produced in or\nfor West Africa are relevant for identity constructions of African\nAmericans. Thus she wants to follow the global history of the Ghanaian wax\nprints within the US. \nhm 5/28/09

SUMMARY:The Curious Encounter of Telstar and STARFISH PRIME\, July 1962
DESCRIPTION:This talk is based on Schwoch’s book Global TV: New Media and The Cold War which examines the relationship of global television\, diplomacy\, and new electronic communications media. Beginning with the Allied occupation of Germany in 1946 and ending with the 1969 Apollo moon landing\, this book explores major developments in global media\, including the postwar absorption of the International Telecommunications Union into the United Nations and its impact on both television and international policy; the rise of psychological warfare and its relations to new electronic media of the 1950s; and the role of the Ford Foundation in shaping global communication research concepts.\nJames Schwoch conducts research and teaching in global media\, media history\, global security\, international studies\, ICT policy\, and research methodologies. He has published five books\, most recently Global TV: New Media and the Cold War\, 1946-69 and is currently co-editing with Lisa Parks (UC-Santa Barbara) an anthology about satellites called Down To Earth for Rutgers University Press. \nHis research has been supported by\, among others\, the Fulbright Commission (Finland 2005\, Germany 1997)\, the Ford Foundation\n(1993-2000)\, the National Science Foundation (1998-2002)\, and the National Endowment for the Humanities (1985\, 1986). During 1997-98\, Schwoch was the Leonard Marks Resident Fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies\, Washington DC; he has held visiting faculty appointments in Finland on three occasions (Tampere 1994\, Jyvaskyla 1996\, Helsinki 2005.)  \nSchwoch is currently in residence at the new Northwestern campus in Doha\, Qatar where he is building the curriculum and developing research projects in the broad area of global media. He continues to work with graduate students and advise dissertations on the Evanston campus during his Qatar residency. \nhm 6/1/09\, 6/2
