In a Native Key: Shelley Niro’s Revisioning of the Baroque Suite Form in Suite: Indian (2005)
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper argues that Suite: Indian, a 2005 film by Shelley Niro (Mohawk), critiques Euroamerican art that exploits non-specific “Indian” materials to represent allegedly “universal” themes. In particular, this essay will explore how Niro’s film critiques Edward MacDowell’s 1896 Second Suite, frequently called the Indian Suite, an orchestral piece that MacDowell claims is based upon Native music and that is still played today. Even her title, Suite: Indian, reverses MacDowell’s Indian Suite and Niro continues to counteract his vagueness by rooting her film in the culture of the Mohawk Nation as well as the larger Haudenosaunee culture (commonly but incorrectly known as the Iroquois Confederacy).

An analytical model based on simulation aiming to improve patient flow in a hospital surgical suite
Surgical suits allocate a large amount of expenses to hospitals; on the other hand, they constitute a huge part of hospital revenues. Patient flow optimization in a surgical suite by omitting or reducing bottlenecks which cause loss of time is one of the key solutions in minimizing the patients’ length of stay[1] (LOS) in the system, lowering the expenses, increasing efficiency, and also enhanc...

متن کاملUsing the Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm to Generate the Minimum Test Suite in Covering Array with Uniform Strength
Up to now, several useful algorithms have been proposed to generate covering array, which is one of the branches of combinatorial testing. The main challenge in generating such arrays is generation of the arrays with a minimum number of test cases (for efficiency) at a proper time (for performance), for large systems. Covering array generation strategies are often divided into two general categ...
متن کاملA Slightly Dorsally Tilted Lunate on MRI can be Considered Normal
Background: Abnormal angulation of the lunate can be an indication of intercarpal pathology. On magnetic resonance images (MRIs) the lunate often looks dorsally angulated, even in healthy wrists. The tilt on individual slices can also be different and might be misinterpreted as pathological, contributing to inaccurate diagnoses and unnecessary surgery. The primary aim of this study was to det...

BACKGROUND Current teaching suggests increased perfusion in free transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flaps over pedicled TRAM flaps, broadening indications for its use in high risk patients. This study compared perfusion analysis of free muscle-sparing versus pedicle TRAM flaps in vivo in the peri-operative and late post-operative periods. METHODS The SPY-Elite system using...
