It can and should be used as an example and guide for further community mapping. The project focused on mapping the cultural resources of the Latino population of Northeast Salem over the course of 10 weeks. The City of Salem is interested in facilitating more engagement within this community through identification of existing cultural resources, their patterns of use, and the gaps that exist among them. The report reviews the students’ process of cultural mapping, the information gathered, trends identified within the information, and suggestions for further study and engagement.Item Open Access CultureWork ; Special Topic Issue : 2007 : [2] : Zines and Do-It-Yourself Democracy : Witness This Moment(Institute for Community Arts Studies, Arts & Administration Program, University of Oregon, 2007) Blandy, Doug; Voelker-Morris, Julie L.; Voelker-Morris, Robert J., 1969-Zines and Do-It-Yourself Democracy represents the explorations of the students and faculty associated with the Zines and Do-It-Yourself Democracy freshman seminar at the University of Oregon.

Using a transdisciplinary approach, I will examine the 2018 public space renovation of Alpine Avenue in McMinnville, Oregon. Beginning with a summarized case study introduction, this thesis will proceed with a literature review defining and exploring creative placemaking. Lastly, I will examine findings from community interview responses and propose recommendations stemming from collected data. At its core, both the investigation and synthesis of this thesis aim to explore how places are made, and in the future, how the design process might strengthen (and not displace) local communities. Further, this thesis will contribute to the recognition of creative placemaking in academe- informing those outside the field on the potential for arts and culture to build better places. Specifically, this document proposes creative placemaking and arts-based research as a way for planners to address barriers in community participation through creative means.Item Open Access Storytelling Through Spices: The Other and The East in Late Medieval Narratives(University of Oregon, 2021-11-23) Ruzak, Madeline; Blandy, DougPrevious analyses of late medieval writing produced in Western Europe and its relationship to the East have been largely occupied by studies concerning the monstrous. Said studies dealt with how the West depicted the people of the East as “Other” and grotesque due to religious and cultural prejudice. This thesis instead looks at the othering and exoticization of the East through the use of spices as narrative symbols. By examining English-language texts written in Europe between 1250 and 1500C.E., this thesis determines the effect of spices in a narrative context through two lenses: danger and wealth. In both instances, the economic and cultural environment of Europe—i.e., the demand for exotic spices and their view of the East as Other—contributed to stories of dangerous beasts and valuable spices. These stories exemplified the reciprocal relationship of collective cultural tradition and storytelling as they influenced both each other and the everyday lives of medieval Europeans.
