Title A name given to the resource Joann W. Kealiinohomoku Dance & Human Culture Audiovisual/Scholarship Collection Description An account of the resource This collection pairs written scholarship with a corresponding collection of audiovisual resources to support the interdisciplinary study of dance and human culture. The intent is to provide students, researchers, educators, as well as the general public with access to key scholarly and philosophical writings by anthropologist of dance Dr. Joann W. Kealiinohomoku (1930-2015) in coordination with an ecclectic assortment of audiovisual materials most of which Kealiinohomoku recorded off air between 1970-2010. Over this 40-year period, Kealiinohomoku, an early adopter of video technology, began recording on Beta tapes, later transitioning to VHS tapes. YouTube's Internet domain name was not activated until 2005; therefore, this audiovisual collection reflects a historical pre-YouTube view of the world. Kealiinohomoku's holistic approach and broad anthropological perspectives invite greater understanding of dance as a human universal. The wide-ranging audiovisual content reflects Kealiinohomoku's particular research interests, popular culture of the era, and dance phenomena from a variety of cultures. It invites open-minded exploration and reflection on changes in scholarship and understanding. To help researchers continue their search for audiovisual resources of interest, descriptive metadata is provided for every item, even when no video link has yet been located. Notes describe ephemera related to these audiovisual resources which can be accessed at the Cross-Cultural Dance Resources Collections at Arizona State University. View the Joann W.

Description Content Description from San Francisco International Film Festival (http://history.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=3481): Nightsongs is a dramatization of the struggle of a Chinese immigrant family as seen through the eyes of a Chinese/Vietnamese relative during her stay with them in New York City’s Chinatown. The story highlights the characters’ cultural alienation and their difficulties in assimilating into a different economic and cultural environment through a series of poetic diary entries and letters written by the visiting cousin in response to her new experience. The family’s drama unfolds against a background of hard work in Chinatown’s sweatshops; in the problems the young people face coping with school and home life and the lure of the gangs; and through the hardships fought against these forces that persistently seek to undermine the family unity and cultural pride. The director is an expatriate woman filmmaker from Iran. Ephemera : Text saved from original ephemera. Small clipping from program guide.
