In recent decades, countries across the globe have substantially expanded the nature and scope of government social welfare programs, especially those targeted at the poor. In fact, lower and middle-income democracies today promise more social benefits to more citizens than they have at any time in the past. At the same time, however, effective access to these programs and benefits remains highly variable, even among those who are eligible. What explains why some citizens actually receive the social benefits and programs for which they are eligible while others do not?

These Amazonic mythical narratives are based on imaginary, rich, and fantastical episodes of hillbillybumpkin life. These themes have served for years as inspiration for poetic literary constructions. The composer Waldemar Henrique stands out as a disseminator of this imagery, revealing in his works the values, beliefs, experiences, and behaviors experienced by his characters in the Amazonian context. Henrique translates through sung mythical narratives the riverine life filled with the language specific to the Amazon region and indigenous traditions.
One of the great innovations of the 8th century Maya world, full-figure inscriptions appeared at four Maya sites over the span of 100 years: Palenque, Copán, Yaxchilán, and Quiriguá. These inscriptions, while linguistically sound and conforming to the genre of monumental dedication texts, present a complex visual landscape for analysis. In this presentation, I summarize the key takeaways of my analysis of this corpus, which formed my dissertation at Tulane.
