Portraits Of NYC Immigrants Reveal Cultural Backgrounds

Portraits Of NYC Immigrants Reveal Cultural Backgrounds | 16s3d: Bestioles, opinions & pétitions | Scoop.it
Here are just a handful of the 12 million men, women, and children who arrived at Ellis Island, New York, between 1892 and 1954 to start a new life in the USA, often dressed in their finest clothes. The portraits show immigrants wearing the national dress of their country of origin, including military uniforms from Albania, bonnets from the Netherlands, and clothing of Sámi people from the Arctic regions.

The photographs were taken between 1906 and 1914 by amateur photographer Augustus Francis Sherman, the chief registry clerk at Ellis Island, then the country’s busiest immigration station. In 1907 some of the photos were published by National Geographic.

Sandro Miller: “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters”

Sandro Miller: “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters” | 16s3d: Bestioles, opinions & pétitions | Scoop.it
Established photographer Sandro Miller, together with long time friend and Hollywood legend John Malkovich, created a witty project called “Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to photographic masters.” As the title suggests, the creative duo's photo series reimagines the world‘s most iconic portraits with Malkovich as the main subject instead.

Linguistic Family Tree

Linguistic Family Tree | 16s3d: Bestioles, opinions & pétitions | Scoop.it

"When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor. An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian).  Minna Sundberg, creator of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent, a story set in a lushly imagined post-apocalyptic Nordic world, has drawn the antidote to the boring linguistic tree diagram."

Melissa Marie Falco-Dargitz's curator insight, November 4, 2014 11:50 AM

Language is a cultural tie that shows human drift in much the same way we see genetic drift. Languages change over time, and as culture changes, language is slow to catch up. (hence, the lack of a native word for non native foods or technology. e.g. Coca-Cola)

Clare Williams's curator insight, November 5, 2014 5:36 AM

I love the English language!

Unit 3 Cultural Patterns and Processes (Language)

      The image shows how many languages are related and have many common ancestors. Languages are grouped into language families and are even more broadly categorized.

      Language is a huge part of culture and it is the way that people communicate amongst each other. There are hundreds of languages in our world, but as globalization and pop culture diffuse many languages are being lost and no longer spoken. A good example of a dead language would be Latin. Many of our common day languages trace their roots back to Latin, but no one speaks Latin anymore.

Aaron Siskind's 'Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation'

Aaron Siskind's 'Pleasures and Terrors of Levitation' | 16s3d: Bestioles, opinions & pétitions | Scoop.it
In Aaron Siskind’s “Pleasures and Terrors,” figures are suspended against a blank background, devoid of context; it’s unclear whether they are falling or floating. These pictures are some of my favorite works of photography.
