Nerissa's Ring

Nerissa's Ring

Nerissa's Ring is the last two words of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.It is "upside down" because the merchants in the play were on a pilgrimage from Venice to Belmont, the home of the queenly princess, Portia, whose assistant was Nerissa. Shakespeare asserts that one can get from Venice to Belmont either by land or by sea. It turns out Belmonte is an inland town in northeastern Portugal which fits that geography.Furthermore, today's Belmonte is the home of some 300 Jews (among its population of 3,000) who have lived there since the 16th century as "Christians," but in the 1980s they "came out" publicly as Jews. Although no secret to the Gentiles, they literally had worshiped their Jewish God underground, while also dutifully attending church and silently telling God that place was nothing but a pile of stones. Such were the consequences of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions (Shakespeare probably anglicized Belmont, dropping the "e").

Body Parts of Empire

Body Parts of Empire

Nerissa Balce

The University of Michigan Press
2016

Body Parts of Empire is a study of abjection in American visual culture and popular literature from the Philippine-American War (1899–1902). During this period, the American national territory expanded beyond its continental borders to islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean. Simultaneously, new technologies of vision emerged for imagining the human body, including the moving camera, stereoscopes, and more efficient print technologies for mass media. Rather than focusing on canonical American authors who wrote at the time of U.S. imperialism, this book examines abject texts—images of naked savages, corpses, clothed native elites, and uniformed American soldiers—as well as bodies of writing that document the goodwill and violence of American expansion in the Philippine colony. Contributing to the fields of American studies, Asian American studies, and gender studies, the book analyzes the actual archive of the Philippine-American War and how the racialization and sexualization of the Filipino colonial native have always been part of the cultures of America and U.S. imperialism. By focusing on the Filipino native as an abject body of the American imperial imaginary, this study offers a historical materialist optic for reading the cultures of Filipino America.

Social Zooarchaeology

Social Zooarchaeology

Nerissa Russell

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
This is the first book to provide a systematic overview of social zooarchaeology, which takes a holistic view of human-animal relations in the past. Until recently, archaeological analysis of faunal evidence has primarily focused on the role of animals in the human diet and subsistence economy. This book, however, argues that animals have always played many more roles in human societies: as wealth, companions, spirit helpers, sacrificial victims, totems, centerpieces of feasts, objects of taboos, and more. These social factors are as significant as taphonomic processes in shaping animal bone assemblages. Nerissa Russell uses evidence derived from not only zooarchaeology, but also ethnography, history and classical studies, to suggest the range of human-animal relationships and to examine their importance in human society. Through exploring the significance of animals to ancient humans, this book provides a richer picture of past societies.

"Don't take medication. Take an overdose of medication. Jump in front of a train. Jump out of a window. Don't talk to anyone, not even Nerissa."In 2013, Charlie was told that the voices she hears are a symptom of schizoaffective disorder. Neither she nor her partner, Nerissa, had ever heard of this mental health condition before. But they were determined not to let a diagnosis get the better of them or their relationship.A Different Reality is their shared perspective on growing through their mental health journey together. Charlie and Nerissa take you behind the scenes, giving you an honest and personal account of the highs and lows - the good, bad, and extremely raw realities of a person living with a mental health condition and their carer's perspective.This part-memoir, part-self-help book benefits those with lived experience, their carers, and anyone looking to gain a better understanding of mental health. The personal stories and insights shared here will help spread awareness, normalise the conversation around mental health, and let people know that it's okay to not be okay.
