The 92 Report
108.  David Tavárez, Historian and Linguistic Anthropologist

The 92 Report

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 16, 2024 34:48


David Tavárez, originally from Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, completed a degree in anthropology and visual environmental studies. He had several ideas for his future career, wavering between being a scientist or a filmmaker. He secured a place at the Writers Workshop in Iowa and an internship at the American University in Cairo. He spent a year in Cairo after graduation and supplemented that summer by writing about the Baltics for the Let's Go Europe travel series. Studying Indigenous Culture and ChristianityDavid worked as a journalist for a couple of years then decided to pursue a PhD at the University of Chicago in 1994, focusing on indigenous history. His interest was drawn to two languages, Nahuatl and Zapotec, which have a rich store of texts dating back to the 1530s. David discovered documents related to the arrival of Christianity in Mexico. These documents included calendars, cosmological manuals, and ritual songs written in Zapotec alphabetic script. After graduating from the University of Chicago, he worked at Bard College in Latin American and Iberian studies. He then moved to Vassar, a selective institution with a vibrant student body. David currently lives in Rhinebeck, New York, where he is a full professor in the anthropology department at Vassar. His first book, The Invisible War, explores how indigenous people in central Mexico confronted the church in colonial Mexico and managed to work with their ancestral beliefs while also embracing Christianity. He has translated several books into Spanish and collaborated with other scholars on a book on the great indigenous historian of colonial Mexico, Chimalpahin. The Indigenous Languages of the AmericasDavid's most recent book, Rethinking Zapotec Time, compiles two decades of work. The book, which received awards from the Native American Indigenous Studies Association, the Latin American Studies Association, and the New England Council of Latin American Studies, is a labor of love, aiming to understand the world of the ritual specialist and the Christians they confronted, as well as how they managed to survive and share ancestral beliefs and knowledge with others. The indigenous languages of the Americas before the 20th century were the most voluminous in terms of producing works. By the early 17th century, there were over 100 works, mostly religious, printed, and manuscripts. By the end of the colonial period, there were 1000s of works, mostly mundane literature, such as petitions, wills, and testaments. This diversity is comparable to Greek and Roman literature, but there are gaps and can only be reconstructed from later translations. Mexican songs, such as the Cantares Mexicanos, feature difficult language and are lyrical, sometimes difficult to understand. The most famous song is the Song of the Women of Chalco, which features warriors from a defeated polity dressing up as women and taunting the Aztec emperor Axayacatl. There are many convergences between indigenous intellectuals from the 16th century to present. This work highlights the physical and intellectual growth of different indigenous communities through colonial times and post-colonial legacies. The Zapotec Time-space Continuum The Zapotec conception of time is an eternal, 260-day calendar with specific meanings. They believed in a time-space continuum, where every day had divinatory meaning and moved people to specific regions in the cosmos. They had a notion of the cosmos as having three main domains: sky, earth, and Underworld, with other domains beyond the underworld relating to ancestral time and its origins. Time was seen as a way to think about Earth and the cosmos, rooted in geography and cosmology. They believed that everyone was taken on an eternal journey through space and time, allowing communication with ancestors. While their notion of the time-space continuum may not date back to Einstein or quantum physics, they believed that time and space were interconnected. Influential Harvard Courses and ProfessorsDavid mentions Rosemary Joyce, and taking classes with Noam Chomsky at MIT. He believes that there are many ways to approach and learn about remote worlds through experimental means, such as working with film and visual arts. David discusses his interest in working with ritual specialists and documentary filmmakers. He shares his desire to place students in the past through films and visual arts, such as Aguirre, the Wrath of the God by Werner Herzog, and The Mission.  Timestamps: 04:37: Indigenous history, language, and culture in Mexico 12:01: Indigenous perspectives on Spanish conquest and religion in Latin America 17:09: Indigenous Christian texts in the Americas, focusing on the complexity of colonialism and the diversity of indigenous experiences 25:00: Zapotec conception of time and its connection to geography, cosmology, and ancestral communication 31:08: History, filmmaking, and academia with a Vassar College professor Links: Vassar Faculty: https://www.vassar.edu/faculty/tavarez Guggenheim Fellows: https://www.gf.org/fellows/david-tavarez/ Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.ca/stores/David-Tavarez/author/B003XJJ3M6?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true   Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this episode is, recommended by Ruth Hertzman-Miller who reports:    I'm Ruth Hertzman-Miller, class of 1992.

AUNTIE: Wa'tkwanonhweráton Sewakwékon. On April 8th, 2024 the path of totality of the solar eclipse will fall over our Haudenosaunee homelands surrounding Lake Ontario. It's an historic event that we've been anticipating for years as we remember a similar eclipse that signaled the beginnings our Confederacy generations ago. Today we're visiting with a key carrier of Haudenosaunee astronomy, Samantha Doxtator, who is Wolf Clan of Oneida Nation, to discuss the eclipse and so much more. Samantha's sky teachings were rendered through the great loss of her sister Sasha to cancer in 2021 -- and Samantha's own liminal journey when she fell seriously ill soon after her sister passed. When she recovered - Samantha picked up the astronomy work that Sasha began in university – and now she is sharing powerful insight - in places like Hayden Planetarium in New York City, with NASA in Niagara Falls at the time of the eclipse, and in engagements all across our confederacy. SAMANTHA: Our people we've always been scientists. We've always been astronomers. We're 80 percent stardust and we're just souls… made of flames. AUNTIE: In the wake of our historic eclipse – around a thousand years back – the warring nations that became our confederacy buried weapons and chose great peace with each other. Samantha says the April 8th eclipse is significant because she believes the Haudenosaunee will choose again to bury the weapons of oppression they've experienced through both colonization and lateral violence. SAMANTHA: So on the next solar eclipse that is over our homelands in 120 years when our great grandkids say I wonder what my great, great grandparents did in 2024 – they will have actual concrete historic documents that will say “In 2024, the Haudenosaunee buried their oppression. And they did it for all people.” AUNTIE: I'm Kahstoserakwathe and we are Yetinistéhnha ne tekaronyakánare. The Aunties Dandelion and we're sharing visits with powerful Indigenous changemakers focused on land, language, and connections with each other.

Nonprofit Newsfeed Highlights: GoFundMe's Charitable Gap, Ocean Cleanup Concerns, and AI's Role in Preserving Indigenous Languages GoFundMe's Charitable Chasm Exposed In this episode, George Weiner delves into the disparities in GoFundMe's distribution of disaster funds. A New York Times analysis revealed that households with incomes over $150,000 received 28% more aid than those under $75,000 after the 2021 Marshall fire. This gap highlights a broader issue of equity in crowdsourced fundraising, where the wealthier benefit from stronger, more affluent networks. The Dark Side of Ocean Cleanup The podcast also touches on the potential negatives of ocean cleanup efforts. An article from Slate magazine suggests these initiatives might harm marine life and destroy habitats that have formed within the plastic debris. While there's a valid concern for micro-ecosystems, George argues that removing plastic remains crucial as it ultimately enters our food chain, with Americans consuming the equivalent of a credit card's worth of microplastics weekly. Christian Rock Dominance on Radio Another interesting point discussed is the Educational Media Foundation's (EMF) success in using a network of radio stations to spread Christian rock. Their strategy has effectively amplified uplifting music and messages, serving as a potential model for other nonprofits seeking to broaden their impact through radio. Student Loan Forgiveness for Nonprofit Workers In a win for nonprofit employees, over 793,000 borrowers are set to receive student loan forgiveness, with public sector workers benefiting significantly. This comes as part of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, emphasizing the value of nonprofit and government jobs. AI's Promise for Indigenous Languages Finally, the podcast highlights an inspiring use of AI in preserving native languages. The Lakota AI code camp is a three-week program aimed at teaching indigenous youth coding skills to help protect and steward their culture, including endangered languages. This innovative application of technology offers hope for the preservation of these vital cultural touchstones.

A favorite political poster hangs on a wall in my office: “Homeland Security” it proclaims in bold letters above a photo of a group of Indigenous elders holding rifles; below it reads, “Fighting Terrorism Since 1492.”It's a reminder of the centuries of settler colonial policy and genocidal terror carried out by the US government against Indigenous peoples and nations and lineages, as well as the natural environment, the trees, the bison, and more. And it's a reminder that resistance goes back to the beginning and continues to this day.This episode of Under the Tree—a conversation with Mneesha Gellman, author of Indigenous Language Politics in the Schoolroom: Cultural Survival in Mexico and the United States which explores the contemporary fight for Indigenous language in the classroom as a site of struggle and resistance against erasure and genocide—was recorded at the courageous, worker-owned bookstore, Pilsen Community Books, a familiar and friendly stop on our Chicago freedom tour.
