Last night the ALANA Ambassadors broke bread with interns from around the social activist community at Colgate by having breakfast for dinner and talking about some of the cool events we'll be putting on this semester. We also used our strength in numbers to make signs for the upcoming Colgate Against Hate game, which we'll be handing out at the game in just two short weeks!<br />
<br />
Interested in some of the highlight news from our little party?<br />
<br />
LANI GUINIER is coming on February 6th, and she was the first black woman to receive tenure at Harvard. ALANA will be hosting a dinner with her as part of our Black History Month celebrations. Contact Sarah Ellis to reserve a spot!<br />
<br />
QUEERFEST is in two weeks, ending with the Blue for Q Game at Cotterell Court featuring Colgate's Basketball team on Saturday February 16 at 2pm. The game will be featured on ESPN, which we're all excited about!<br />
<br />
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES will be on February 14 and 15, and I know I'll be bringing my friends on Valentine's Day to hear actual testimonials from Colgate Women.<br />

<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Salman Rushdie is a writer of Indian
descent, primarily famous for his controversial book, The Satanic
Verses, for which he was sentenced to death by the Iranian Court.<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6GeNV2oQcYYZmAuI52Y9S5I2fPs6VdhSAT0lE-sIYBuNAU77fD13C7-431UgwcyKWyOSHUEKWus1DPfosupeKPZRpomoLIUs3jj1RA2MB7_BAItiBIts-XSCA-kM5WKEF24zyDr9ar3U/s1600/Salman-Rushdie-wins-the-1-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6GeNV2oQcYYZmAuI52Y9S5I2fPs6VdhSAT0lE-sIYBuNAU77fD13C7-431UgwcyKWyOSHUEKWus1DPfosupeKPZRpomoLIUs3jj1RA2MB7_BAItiBIts-XSCA-kM5WKEF24zyDr9ar3U/s320/Salman-Rushdie-wins-the-1-001.jpg" width="320" /></a>According to its critics, the book
depicts Mohammed, the Muslim prophet, in a blasphemous way. For
example, Salman Rushdie included in the book an episode in which
Mohammed allegedly proclaims polytheism, by accepting the existence
of three ancient goddesses in a few pagan verses (“satanic verses”)
of the Quran (which have supposedly been eliminated).
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Such depictions were considered highly
offensive by the mufti of Iran (the country's spiritual leader) and
prompted him to issue a fatwa against Salman Rushdie, placing a
bounty on his death in 1989, less than a year after the publication
of the book.<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Twenty three years later, the author
writes another book, Joseph Anton, retelling the experiences he has
had while in hiding, and highlighting the need for cultural and
religious discourse, and the importance of free speech. <br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Come listen to his stories this
Thursday, November the 29<sup>th</sup>, in the Chapel, at 4.30!

<br />
Diwali, popularly known as the
festival of lights, is one of the most important Hindu festivals of the year,
and is celebrated in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana,
Trinidad& Tobago, Suriname, Malaysia, Singapore and Fiji.<br />
<br />
The name “Diwali” is a contraction
of the Sanskrit word “Deepavali”, which translates into “row of lamps”. In
fact, for Diwali people place small clay lamps filled with oil, and light them,
which symbolizes the triumph of good over evil. At night, there are also
fireworks, which are meant to drive away the evil spirits. During the five-day
celebration, people wear new clothes and share sweets with friends and family.<br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Diwali commemorates </span>the
return of Lord Rama from his 14-year-long exile after defeating the demon-king
Ravana. The people of the Lord Rama celebrated by illuminating the kingdom with
lamps and by bursting firecrackers.<br />
<br />
Colgate’s Hindu Student Association will celebrate Diwali this Saturday,
November 10<sup>th</sup>, at 6pm, with Indian food in the Hall of Presidents,
and then fireworks in the Whitnall Field. <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span></div>

What is this obsession we have with death? Why did so many people come?</span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<span a="undefined" c="4" closure_uid_yzt0rs="123"><span closure_uid_yzt0rs="165"><span class="hps">The reason I chose and was so excited for this particular event is the Hispanic perception of death. Octavio Paz said, “The Mexican, in contrast, is familiar with death. (He) jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it. It is one of his favorite toys and his most steadfast love.” Death is usually a solemn time and one can't help but feel the melancholy, but being from a Mexican background I have learned to rejoice in it, to not fear it, but accept and in some sense have learned to love it. </span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span a="undefined" c="4" closure_uid_yzt0rs="123"><span closure_uid_yzt0rs="165"><span class="hps">For me, the most moving part of the event was reading the letters students wrote to their loved ones who passed. I read every single one, and each letter perpetuated a warm and blissful feeling, not one was mournful or gloomy. The best part was the different cultures and languages: English, Vietnamese, Chinese, Spanish, all represented on the table. For me, it meant that the celebration of a loved one is not distinctly a Mexican or Hispanic phenomenon, that it is worldwide. People turned out, not to feel sad about a passed one, but because they wanted to celebrate that special person's life and to show their appreciation to that person.</span></span></span><br />

She then asked our class, entirely made up of freshmen, to shout out words we associated with the words "West" and "East." Slowly, but surely, each of my peers raised their hands and gave some synonyms for these terms. <br />
<br />
I know its knit-picky to worry about words, but I think words have the power to either inform or confuse. Words have linguistic meanings, and in the most basic of ways "East" and "West" are just directions. But, words also have cultural meanings. Ever since my first CORE Class I've thought better of using these words because they have so many connotations attached to them. As a South Asian Studies major I've been working to understand what people commonly refer to as the "Eastern World" for years now. "Eastern" according to? <br />
<br />
Geographically, "East" and "West" become muddied when you are standing in a different place. To many people the Middle East is actually considered West Asia, and if I'm standing in California, Asia is actually more to the West than the rest of America. But, the connotations of "East" and "West" often make "East" the pejorative, despite the vast amount of contributions that countries typically labeled as "Eastern" have made to philosophy, science, technology, world religion, etc. "West" by contrast, is too often made into the more progressive set of countries. <br />
<br />
"East" and "West" are blanket terms. Is it really possible to make statements about the "Eastern" world that apply to countries as vastly different as China and India, or the "Western" world that apply to countries with different cultural norms like Germany and the United States? <br />
<br />
I think that the words "East" and "West" go back to the points that Said lays out in his book <em>Orientalism-</em> they are subtle ways of generalizing about an "other," which are built into the fibres of common speech. <br />
But the well informed individual will be more clear in juxtaposing different cultures, because the constructs of the "Eastern" and "Western" worlds don't allow us to see the commonalities between separate cultures. <br />
<br />
What do you think of the words "East" and "West?" Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17486961156376397040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5099061913285346031.post-4939371378853712842012-11-01T13:56:00.000-07:002012-11-01T13:56:37.043-07:00Happy American Indian Heritage Month!

Today is All Saints' Day! All Saints' Day is a Christian holiday commemorating the departed faithful. While All Saints' Day is religious, its also cultural, and worldwide there are many different ways in which people celebrate the festival! <br />
<br />
One tradition, which ALANA will be hosting tomorrow, is Dia De Los Muertos. Day of the Dead, originally a two-day tradition, honors friends and family members who have died. The Day of the Dead event will be <em>tomorrow</em> in La Casa hosted by our own ALANA Ambassador, Kat Kollitides! <br />
<br />
Tonight, you can also attend <em>Burritos con los Santitos</em>, hosted by the Newman Community at 6:30pm in the COOP TV Room. It's a cool way to learn more about the Saints, but also about the traditions surrounding All Saints' days across cultures. <br />

Hey Guys. So last Friday was Eid-al-Adha, the Muslim commemoration of the Abrahamic sacrifice and in view of this auspicious festival, the Muslim Student Association (MSA) at Colgate is organizing a banquet at the Hall of Presidents. The event is held every year and the members of MSA always put in a lot of effort to make it a fun and informational exchange of culture. This year it features Arab Food as well as a musical performance by The Nour Ensemble which specializes in Ancient European, Kurdish and Persian music. Professors and students are all welcome so don't be afraid to drop by and have a great time.</div>

the ‘to-do’s on campus is to go to President Herbst’s office hours, which is
why I chose to check that off the Colgate bucket list last Wednesday.
When answering my question regarding his goals for Colgate right now, President
Herbst said that one of his main priorities is diversifying the destinations
that people have for study-abroad groups. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">In fact, the destination of study-abroad semesters has often been a topic of
conversation lately. The language professors to whom I have spoken commented on
the fact that few students choose to step out of their comfort zone, and go to
North-Africa or Latin-America to study French or Spanish, and instead go to
France or Spain. Older students were also complaining about how much more
difficult it is to get a non-Colgate program to a developing country, approved.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Going
on a study-abroad should mean, in my opinion, having access to a culture which
would otherwise be hidden. What is the purpose of leaving your country and
going to a place where people enjoy the same type of entertainment, have a
similar social etiquette and behavior, and ascribe to the same mentality? Of
course, what you see is different, the history and literature of the place are
different, but you are a lot more likely to experience a cultural shock in
Morocco, for example, than you are in Paris. French people attempting to kiss
you on the cheek for three times might slightly throw you off, but that’s about
it. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">We leave in an era of globalization, in which cultures mingle and mix. This
is why I believe that we should reach out for the cultures which are left as
intact as possible, because the purpose of a study-abroad should be being
educated in a way you couldn’t at your own institution: going well beyond the
academics, into cultural, behavioral and anthropological areas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: inherit; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Stepping out of our comfort zones should be able to make us more
culturally-aware people, more understanding and welcoming of other people’s
differences. It is the experiences we will have in completely different
countries that will blow our minds and open our horizons, which is why we
should not choose the easy way out by going to a Western destination.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I believe President Herbst’s initative
is amazing, and I hope the study-group destinations diversify during my time at
Colgate. </span></div>

<br />
Today is one of my favorite Hindu holidays - Dussehra. I spent a semester abroad in India last year, and one of my favorite moments was the burning of a giant paper Ravana statue near our neighborhood temple. The story of Dussehra references Lord Ram's vanquishing the demon Ravana in the epic Ramayana. There are many different versions of the Ramayana across India, all reflecting unique local traditions and culture. It's a good example of the way in which culture might alter the ways in which religion is practised. The Ramayana is taught in some Legacies of the Ancient World courses at Colgate, as well as in Religion and Asian Studies courses. <br />
<br />
The Ramayana is interesting not only because there are so many Indian interpretations, but also because there are interpretations of it from around the world. Nina Paley, an American, made a feminist version called <a href="http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/" target="_blank">Sita Sings the Blues</a>. A group of web designers in Indonesia made an online web comic reinterpreting Ram's story in the context of Google Plus which can be found at <a href="http://www.ramaya.na/" target="_blank">ramaya.na</a>. It's always interesting to say the way narratives might be interpreted across cultural boundaries, with profound differences in their meaning.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">After the recent bias incident, and bias incidents that continue to happen on college campuses, it's important to work to improve our campus and to remind the Colgate community of how many allies it has. That being said, I encourage everyone to wear blue on Monday in support of the COVE, Center for Women's Studies, Advocates, Lamba, and concerned members of our community. This month is National Coming Out Month, which serves as a reminder to us that we should always be working to by allies to one another on our campus. </span><br />

One thing I took away from the experience was how much more <i>discussion</i> there needs to be both in our classrooms and around campus. If we all take some time once in a while to consider together how to make our community more comfortable for people of all backgrounds, the campus will feel better overall. </span><br />

When it comes to stereotypes, we are expected to do certain things based off of who society thinks we are whether it is due to our race, gender, religion, socio-economic class, the list can go on and on. As we meet people who are different from us and take the time to get to know them, we realize that they break the stereotypes in all different forms. Associated with many stereotypes are the kinds of music that people listen to. Everyone listens to music for various reasons; some songs you just love the beat, in others, the words give it more meaning. Our society tends to make things binary; something is either<i> this</i> or <i>that </i>allowing nothing in the middle. Sometimes music is seen as either Black or White, but what makes us think this way and why? Watch this video to hear all different perspectives:</div>

So, what do you think? How do you feel about these titles? Is music and its targeted audience dependent on race or is music something that can intertwine all races and cultures? Leave your thoughts in the comment section! </div>

This is a traditional Bengali dish that is made on a lot of special events. Its called "Korma" but for some reason it also goes by the name "roast" back home (yes, I am from Bangladesh), however, it is not like anything like what you'd normally associate with roast. Anyway, here it goes:<br />
