Kirby, James. "Historians and the Church of England : religion and historical scholarship, c.1870-1920." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:7056c671-d64b-4014-b209-f4f5dde2d39d.
Full textAbstract:
The years 1870 to 1920 saw an extraordinary efflorescence of English historical writing, dominated by historians who were committed members of the Church of England, many of them in holy orders. At a time when both history and religion were central to cultural life, when history was becoming a modern academic discipline, and when the relationship between Christianity and advanced knowledge was under unprecedented scrutiny, this was a phenomenon of considerable intellectual significance. To understand why this came about, it is necessary to understand the intellectual and institutional conditions in the Church of England at the time. The Oxford Movement and the rise of incarnational theology had drawn Anglicans in ever greater numbers towards the study of the past. At the same time, it was still widely held that the Church of England should be a ‘learned church’: it therefore encouraged scholarship, sacred and secular, amongst its laity and clergy. The result was to produce historians who approached the past with a new set of priorities. The history of the English nation and its constitution was rewritten to show that the church – and especially the medieval church – was the originator and guarantor of modern nationality and liberty. Attitudes to the Reformation shifted from the celebratory to the sceptical, or even the downright hostile. Economic historians even came to see the Reformation as a social revolution – as the origin of modern poverty or capitalism. New and distinctive ideas about progress and divine providence were developed and articulated. Most of all, an examination of Anglican historical scholarship shows the continued vitality of the Church of England and the limitations to the idea that intellectual life was secularised over the course of the nineteenth century. Instead, historiography continued to be shaped by Anglican thought and institutions at this critical stage in its development.

Full textAbstract:
Samuel Rawson Gardiner (1829-1902) has traditionally been viewed as a quintessential late Victorian historian. His subject was politics, his methods consisted of empirical research in the archives, he wrote the kind of dry narratives being propounded in the newly professionalised discipline, and his account of the past was coloured by his religious and political biases. Such characterisations are, however, very wide of the mark. They have been constructed from the study of the context of his life. Through a close reading of the full range of his texts, it is possible to deconstruct this dominant image and put in its place a very different account of his thought, his methods and his writing. Gardiner was influenced by German Idealist philosophy, and as a result his interests lay in intellectual currents, his methods of analysis rested on the Fichtean dialectical method coupled with a dedication to insights derived from empathy and the imagination, and he understood the power of literary representation.

Bryan, Ian. "The histories and structures of custodial interrogation." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1994. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4047/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the centrality of the confession as an item of prosecution evidence. It is also concerned with both the structures and strategies that have evolved in the criminal justice system to legitimate the confession and preserve its vitality as evidence probative of guilt. The socio-legal research evaluates the status of records of police interviews within the context of police custodial interrogations of persons suspected of involvement in crime. To this end the thesis examines the extent to which evidence is "constructed"' within a legal framework rather than elicited; how far the 1984 Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) has affected police-suspect relations in interrogations; the circumstances in which suspects "elect" to cooperate with the police or decline to answer specific questions; and the extent to which records of interrogations can be said to be complete, accurate and reliable. The research comprises a number of different methodologies. The first stage involves a historical and case-based analysis of both the development of the use of confession evidence in criminal cases and of the forms of regulation that have been applied over police access to suspects. The investigation centres upon a structural analysis of the relationship between suspects, the police and the courts and examines the value systems which have conditioned the forms of regulation that have evolved. The next stage of the study involves a comparative analysis of the content and form of police interrogations and of the reporting or recording systems relating thereto in a sample of cases drawn from the period prior to the introduction of the PACE Act and from a sample generated following the implementation of the Act. This aspect of the research builds upon conceptual categories developed by psychologists, sociologists and criminologists. This systematic and comparative examination of the interrogation process of the pre- PACE era and the current PACE era is intended as a contribution to the debate surrounding police interview practices and will help resolve contradictory accounts relating to the police role in the criminal justice process. It is, in addition, also intended as a contribution to questions relating not only to the regulation of police powers over suspects but also to those. concerned with the form, nature and structure of the police suspect dynamic and, finally, to those associated with miscarriages of justice.

Gust, A. L. "Empire, exile, identity : locating Sir James Mackintosh's histories of England." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2011. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1306715/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the configuration and performance of national identity in Britain and the British empire in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, through a case study of the life of Sir James Mackintosh (1765-1832). Using Mackintosh’s unpublished journals and letters, alongside his published and political writings, it illustrates the relationship between social identity and spatial location in the construction of national belonging. It shows how Mackintosh’s social and geographical location both enabled his vision of the nation to be influential and informed that vision. Born in the Scottish Highlands, Mackintosh received his education from leading proponents of the Scottish enlightenment in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Encouraged to identify himself with a concept of civilisation that was equated to an urban, metropolitan and middle-class masculinity, Mackintosh distanced himself from his origins and connections with Highland Scotland, a space deemed ‘backwards’ and uncivilised. As a young Whig gentleman living in London during the 1790s, Mackintosh brought Scottish Enlightenment principles to bear on debates over the French Revolution and reform in Britain. Configuring the nation through this debate, Mackintosh used classed, gendered and racialised tropes to draw the imaginary boundaries of national belonging. The relationship between national belonging, social identity and spatial location is most evident during the period that Mackintosh spent in Bombay. Mackintosh’s portrayal of himself ‘in exile’ in Bombay, his attempts to reform Bombay’s colonial society and to protect himself and his family from Indian ‘degeneracy’ offer an insight into what it meant for him to feel ‘at home’. Arguing that this concept of ‘home’ was premised upon an exclusively white and middle class masculinity that was imagined spatially as metropolitan, this thesis shows how Mackintosh attempted to write this identity into the histories of England that he produced at the end of his life.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the ideological role and adaptation of the mythical British past (derived from Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia regum Britanniae) in chronicles of England written in Anglo-Norman, Latin, and English from the twelfth to the fifteenth century, in terms of the shaping of English history during this time. I argue that the past is an important lens through which we can read the imagined geographies (Albion, Britain and England) and ‘imagined communities’ (the British and English), to use Benedict Anderson’s term, constructed by historical texts. I consider how British history was carefully re-shaped and combined with chronologically conflicting accounts of early English history (derived from Bede) to create a continuous view of the English past, one in which the British kings are made English or ‘of England’. Specifically, I examine the connections between geography and genealogy, which I argue become inextricably linked in relation to mythical British history from the thirteenth century onwards. From that point on, British kings are increasingly shown to be the founders and builders of England, rather than Britain, and are integrated into genealogies of England’s contemporary kings. I argue that short chronicles written in Latin and Anglo-Norman during the thirteenth century evidence a confidence that the ancient Britons were perceived as English, and equally a strong sense of Englishness. These texts, I contend, anticipate the combination of British and English histories that scholars find in the lengthier and better-known Brut histories written in the early fourteenth century. For the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, my study takes account of the Albina myth, the story of the mothers of Albion’s giants (their arrival in Albion before Brutus’s legendary conquest of the land). There has been a surge of scholarship about the Albina myth in recent years. My analysis of hitherto unknown accounts of the tale, which appear in some fifteenth-century genealogical rolls, leads me to challenge current interpretations of the story as a myth of foundation and as apparently problematic for British and English history. My discussion culminates with an analysis of some copies of the prose Brut chronicle (c. 1300) – the most popular secular, vernacular text in later medieval England, but it is seldom studied – and of some fifteenth-century genealogies of England’s kings. In both cases, I am concerned with presentations of the passage of dominion from British to English rulership in the texts and manuscripts in question. My preliminary investigation of the genealogies aims to draw attention to this very under-explored genre. In all, my study shows that the mythical British past was a site of adaptation and change in historical and genealogical texts written in England throughout the high and later Middle Ages. It also reveals short chronicles, prose Brut texts and manuscripts, and royal genealogies to have great potential future research.

Wright, Alexander Robert. "William Cave (1637-1713) and the fortunes of Historia Literaria in England." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2018. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/278574.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first full-length study of the English clergyman and historian William Cave (1637-1713). As one of a number of Restoration divines invested in exploring the lives and writings of the early Christians, Cave has nonetheless won only meagre interest from early-modernists in the past decade. Among his contemporaries and well into the nineteenth century Cave’s vernacular biographies of the Apostles and Church Fathers were widely read, but it was with the two volumes of his Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688 and 1698), his life’s work, that he made his most important and lasting contribution to scholarship. The first aim of the thesis is therefore to build on a recent quickening of research into the innovative early-modern genre of historia literaria by exploring how, why, and with what help, in the context of late seventeenth-century European intellectual culture, Cave decided to write a work of literary history. To do so it makes extensive use of the handwritten drafts, annotations, notebooks, and letters that he left behind, giving a comprehensive account of his reading and scholarly practices from his student-days in 1650s Cambridge and then as a young clergyman in the 1660s to his final, unsuccessful attempts to publish a revised edition of his book at the end of his life. Cave’s motives, it finds, were multiple, complex, and sometimes conflicting: they developed in response to the immediate practical concerns of the post-Restoration Church of England even as they reflected some of the deeper-lying tensions of late humanist scholarship. The second reason for writing a thesis about Cave is that it makes it possible to reconsider an influential historiographical narrative about the origins of the ‘modern’ disciplinary category of literature. Since the 1970s the consensus among scholars has been that the nineteenth-century definition of literature as imaginative fictions in verse and prose – in other words literature as it is now taught in schools and universities – more or less completely replaced the early-modern notion of literature, literae, as learned books of all kinds. This view is challenged in the final section of this thesis, which traces the influence of Cave’s work on some of the canonical authors of the English literary tradition, including Johnson and Coleridge. Coleridge’s example, in particular, helps us to see why Cave and scholars like him were excluded lastingly from genealogies of English studies in the twentieth century, despite having given the discipline many of its characteristic concerns and aversions.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis tests the models of Class and Roles on Early Modern English society through documents from the High Court of Chivalry. It analyses the role of the Court and the individuals who used the court in defining and negotiating class lines and the Social Order. It analyses how the class lines were perceived within the court and how the Court treated individuals differently dependent upon their Class and title. It shows how the line between commoner and gentleman was actively defined by those who claimed and challenged to be gentlemen. Then, the importance of Performative roles is introduced and how the “role of gentleman” was something that needed to be claimed, performed, and believed in order for people to treat someone like a gentleman. Furthermore, additional roles within a community are introduced that either overlapped or challenged the role of gentleman, complicating and confusing the expectations for social interaction.

McKinney, Windy A. "Creating a gens Anglorum : social and ethnic identity in Anglo-Saxon England through the lens of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica." Thesis, University of York, 2011. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1626/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines of the role of Bede in the creation of an English national identity by considering the use, re-use and transmission of the Historia Ecclesiastica across the Anglo-Saxon period. Bede's exemplary and providential history had created an image of an idealised past to inspire change in the present, and these models resonated with writers throughout this period. This study engages with the legacy of Bede's text by surveying a wide range of case studies from across Anglo-Saxon England with attention to a broad spectrum of generic, geographical and political contexts from the eighth to the early eleventh centuries, in Latin and vernacular English. Written in Latin as historical prose narrative in early eighth-century Northumbria, we see the work being used later in that century in a very similar context by Alcuin in his York Poem. In the ninth century the use of the text followed the shifting political hegemony of Anglo-Saxon England south through Mercia, where it was probably translated into English, and into Wessex where it was mined as a source for the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. In both of these texts, we see the Historia being used to respond to viking invasion in distinct ways, as the vernacular narrative emphasises teaching and evangelism while the annals promote the military and political successes of Wessex. In the late tenth century, the Latin history is used as an important source in the vernacular homilies and hagiography of Aelfric. Using and supplementing Bede's pantheon of saints from across England, Aelfric's work prescribes a nationalised Christianity, which mirrors the growth of English identity, as the West Saxon cultural and political hegemony expands more deeply into the geographical and conceptual collective of peoples and kingdoms known to him as Engla land. These case studies demonstrate that Bede's work remained influential throughout the period, with later writers consistently returning to the original text, re-interpreting his work to suit their own contexts and ideological needs.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1780s the medieval weapon of war; the English longbow, enjoyed a renaissance, as historical archery became a fashionable recreation among the English aristocracy. Later, during 1819-1845, longbow archery developed into a mass movement, as it spread downwards in the English class system, into the bourgeoning middle class. During the entire time period of 1780-1845, the “English warbow” was instrumental in producing a specific English (i.e. not British) nationalistic memory culture regarding the medievalmilitary triumphs of the “English bowmen” in battles of old, against French and Scottish forces, as well as reproducing a nationalistic narrative surrounding the English national hero and master-archer Robin Hood. The English longbow, as an object, became a mani- festation of English nationalism. An important fact was that both men and women were included as archers, despite the masculine context of the memory culture surroundingmilitary archery, the celebration of medieval English battlefield victories and the man- liness of the English “bowmen”. How did England come to view the female archer as an ideal for English women, while at the same time publicly upholding a patriarchal doctrine of a feminine “private sphere” womanhood, whereby women should be constrained to the domestic space as housewives, mothers and daughters? How was the English inclusion of females in the nationalistic public sphere of longbow archery made possible, communica- ted and reproduced? In summary, this study is about how longbow archery was manife- sted in the context of the rise of English modern nationalism and how women were inclu- ded – or rather included themselves – as English longbow archers. As the study shows, the answers exists in an inter-relating web of English memory culture regarding warfare and historical archery; gender constructions and female agency; constructions of English national identity and English nationalism within a British context; and class developments in English society. This accounts for how the Amazon Archers of England came to exist from 1780-1845.På 1780-talet fick det engelska medeltida krigsvapnet; den engelska långbågen, en ovän- tad och plötslig renässans i England, när historiskt bågskytte blev en hobby på modet inom den engelska aristokratin. Efter Napoleonkrigens slut 1815 utvecklades skyttet till enfolklig massrörelse, inom den växande och allt mer inflytelserika engelska medelklassen. Under tidsperioden 1780-1845 blev den engelska långbågen (The English longbow ellerThe English warbow) instrumentell i produktionen av en specifikt engelsk – det vill sägainte brittisk – nationalistisk minneskultur, utifrån de medeltida engelska bågskyttarnassegrar på slagfälten, i krig mot franska och skotska arméer. Parallellt förstärktes de natio- nalistiska narrativen kring den engelske nationalhjälten och långbågeskytten Robin Hood. Den engelska långbågen, som objekt, blev en manifestation av engelsk nationalism. En viktig del av den engelska långbågskytterörelsen var inkluderingen av både kvinnor och män, trots skyttets karaktär av maskulin krigiskhet och militärhistoria, angående medel- tida krigståg, där ”the English bowman” hade triumferat. Faktum är att den kvinnliga bågskytten hyllades som ett ideal för engelska kvinnor, samtidigt som patriarkal brittisk doktrin dikterade att kvinnor borde hålla sig innanför hemmets väggar, i den privata sfä-ren, medan den offentliga sfären (yrkeskarriär, politik, idrott, etc.) borde vara ett exklusivtmanligt utrymme. Kvinnor skulle vara fruar, mödrar eller döttrar – inte krigare. Hur vardessa bägge kvinnoideal möjliga att förena? I denna fråga återfinns denna studies kärna. Hur konstruerades engelsk krigshistorisk nationalism 1780-1845 kring den engelska långbågen? Hur inkluderades kvinnor i denna maskulina nationalism? Hur producerades, kommunicerades och reproducerades kvinnlig agens i en militärhistorisk nationalistiskdiskurs, som i andra europeiska länder (exempelvis Sverige) ansågs självklart exklusivtmanlig? Sammanfattningsvis visar denna studie hur den engelska långbågen blev central för den gryende engelska moderna nationalismen 1780-1845, och hur kvinnor inkluderades – eller snarare inkluderade sig själva – i denna nationalism, som långbågeskyttar. Studien visar att svaren på forskningsfrågorna återfinns i en sammanflätad väv av engelskminneskultur, angående historiska krig och bågskytte; genuskonstruktioner och kvinnlig agens; konstruktioner av engelsk nationell identitet och engelsk nationalism; samt engel- ska samhällsutvecklingar under introduktionen av modernitet och industrialism. Allt detta berättar historien om hur de engelska bågskytte-amazonerna–The Amazon Archers of England–blev en realitet 1780-1845.

Full textAbstract:
In and around the 870s, Britain was transformed dramatically by the campaigns and settlements of the Great Army and its allies. Some pre-existing political communities suffered less than others, and in hindsight the process helped Scotland and England achieve their later positions. By the twelfth century, the rulers of these countries had partitioned the former kingdom of Northumbria. This thesis is about what happened in the intervening period, the fate of Northumbria's political structures, and how the settlement that defined Britain for the remainder of the Middle Ages came about. Modern reconstructions of the era have tended to be limited in scope and based on unreliable post-1100 sources. The aim is to use contemporary material to overcome such limitations, and reach positive conclusions that will make more sense of the evidence and make the region easier to understand for a wider audience, particularly in regard to its shadowy polities and ecclesiastical structures. After an overview of the most important evidence, two chapters will review Northumbria's alleged dissolution, testing existing historiographic beliefs (based largely on Anglo-Norman-era evidence) about the fate of the monarchy, political community, and episcopate. The impact and nature of ‘Southenglish' hegemony on the region's political communities will be the focus of the fourth chapter, while the fifth will look at evidence for the expansion of Scottish political power. The sixth chapter will try to draw positive conclusions about the episcopate, leaving the final chapter to look in more detail at the institutions that produced the final settlement.

Full textAbstract:
Great Britain’s road to universal suffrage was a long one. Much attention has been paid by historians to the moments of great legislative reform, but less to the idea behind them. History is, however, also about the journey to such moments and how ideas gain or lose traction in society. The mass working-class movement of Chartism, with its call for universal (manhood) suffrage and its three national petitions of 1839, 1842 and 1848, forced parliamentarians to debate this radical and, in the view of many, dangerous idea. This study analyses the political discourse of the parliamentary debates held in these years with the aim of shedding light on how the notion of universal suffrage was constructed and understood by parliamentarians at the time. By analysing the debates online with a keyword search for ‘universal suffrage’ several recurring arguments and discourses are revealed, namely the political and moral legitimacy of the chartists and their sympathisers in parliament; how the concept of time is used in arguments for and against universal suffrage; entitlement to political representation; and the security of property. Taking inspiration from the linguist Tuen van Dijk’s theory of political discourse analysis, these discourses are regarded as more than mere words spoken in parliament, but rather as political actions which had a bearing on the world outside. Moreover, the aim is also to situate and contextualise these discourses in broader society and the events and developments of the 1830s and 1840s. While the abovementioned discourses are prevalent in all three years, the debates of 1848 see a change in focus and tone, due the wider European revolutionary climate. It is hoped that this analysis of parliamentary debates between 1839 and 1848 will contribute to a better understanding of an oft-neglected chapter in Britain’s road to universal suffrage and of Chartism’s role in this hard-won struggle.

A presente pesquisa, vinculada ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, da Universidade Federal de Pelotas, objetiva investigar a narrativa imagética e textual na graphic novel V for Vendetta(1982-1988), criada pelos britânicos Alan Moore e David Lloyd a partir da sua relação com aspectos do passado, mais especificamente, com a política e sociedade da Inglaterra da década de 1980. Como criação artístico-cultural, acreditamos que seu período de produção, o qual, é concomitante aos mandatos de Margareth Thatcher (1979-1990), conhecida por promover o neoliberalismo na Inglaterra, foi crucial para as referências a que a obra contém, como a tomada de posição política dos seus idealizadores. Nesse sentido, este trabalho conta, como referencial teórico metodológico os estudos de autores, como Ankersmit(2001, 2012), White(1991, 1999, 2006, 2010), Hutcheon(1991), Kellner(2001), Foucault(1996), entre outros, os quais possibilitaram vislumbrar a obra não como mera fonte, mas como uma construção histórica da década de 1980 inglesa. A proposta de análise pauta-se na versão original da obra, em entrevistas com os autores e documentários. A partir das reflexões efetuadas , percebemos que a construção histórica em V for Vendetta mantém aproximações com as narrativas historiográficas, visto que tanto nosso objeto de estudo quanto a historiografia apresentam interpretações sobre uma “realidade” passada.
This research is linked to the Graduation Program in History on Universidade Federal de Pelotas(UFPEL) and its aim is to investigate the imagetical and textual narrative in the graphic novel V for Vendetta (1982-1988)created by the British Alan Moore and David Lloyd from their relation with their past aspects, specifically with politics and society in England in the 1980s. As artistic and cultural creation, it is believed it is a production period, which is concomitant with the mandates of Margaret Thatcher(1979-1990), known to promote the neoliberalism in England, was crucial to the references to the work contains, as political statement of its creators . In this sense, this paper has as theoretical framework the study of authors, as Ankersmit (2001,2012), White (1991, 1999, 2006, 2010), Hutcheon (1991), Kellner (2001), Foucault (1996), among others, which made it possible to glimpse the work not as merely as a source, but as a historic building from the 1980s English. The propose of analysis is guided in the original version of the work, interviews with authors and documentaries. From the reflections made, was realized that the historic building in V for Vendetta maintains approximations to the historiographical narratives, since our object of historiography study presents interpretations of a "reality " last.

Full textAbstract:
Imagining the English landscape as an assemblage entangling deer and people throughout history, this thesis explores how changes in deer population connect to the ways deer have been valued from 1800 to the present day. Its methods are mixed, its sources are conversations – human voices in the ongoing historical negotiations of the multispecies body politic, the moot of people, animals, plants and things which shapes and orders the landscape assemblage. These conversations include interviews with people whose lives revolve around deer, correspondence with the organisations that hold sway over deer lives, analysis of modern media discourse around deer issues and exchanges with the history books. It finds that a non-linear increase in deer populations over the time period has been accompanied by multiple changes in the way deer are valued as part of the English landscape. Ending with a reflection on how this history of value fits in to wider debates about the proper representation of animals, the nature of non-human agency, and trajectories of the Anthropocene, this thesis seeks to open up new ways of exploring questions about human-animal relationships in environmental history.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines cases of faux executions administered by the high court of Göta hovrätt in Sweden during the years of 1648-1653. The faux executions are examined as a form of mental torture, utilized to extract confessions from suspected criminals. The essay builds on previous research on subjects of the early modern Swedish justice system, the interaction between the Swedish justice system and its constituents, as well as research on the subject of torture in the context of the Swedish justice system. Furthermore, research on the subject of torture and justice systems in early modern Germany and England are used as points of comparison. The goal is to understand the place of faux executions in both judicial practice and the mental frameworks of early modern Swedes, the condemning as well as the condemned. To achieve this end, the essay employs the theories of history of mentalities as well as ideas from micro history. The primary material used in this essay are the judgements of the high court of Göta hovrätt, from which all orders of faux executions were issued. Importance is given not only to the sentencing as such, but the meaning loaded into choices of individual words. Additionally, the original sentence from the relevant lower court is consulted when available. The aim is to amass as much text as possible with regards to each individual case in order to acquire as many details as possible about each case. The essay concludes that the use of faux executions arose as a consequence of the Roman-canon legal theory of proof, as well as the prevalence of ideas about the connection between truthful confessions and pain or death. In addition, the essay concludes that the present mentalities offered a wide range of reactions to the faux executions to those subjected to it. Furthermore, with regards to faux executions used in cases of infanticide, a parallel is found between the lack of condemning evidence and the court's ambiguous use of language with regards to the constructed ideal of "the guilty mother." Also, the essay concludes that faux executions had an ambiguous relationship with the concept of poena extraordinaria present in judicial discourse and practice throughout continental Europe. With regards to conditions in early modern England, it is established that there was no place for the faux execution, as the use of torture in England was not a consequence of the legal theory of proof. Lastly, the essay concludes that while the preconditions for faux executions existed in Germany, a possible reason for it not being used was the decentralized nature of its justice system.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med examensarbetet var att göra en kvalitativ historiedidaktisk studie av gymnasieelevers intresse för historia i allmänhet och förståelse av en specifik historiekulturell artefakt i synnerhet. Detta är inte minst intressant med hänsyn till läroplanens riktlinjer om undervisningens anpassning och beaktande av elevernas erfarenhets- och livsvärld. En klass i respektive Historia A, B och C – sammanlagt åttio elever – fick läsa historikern, författaren och akademiledamoten Peter Englunds essä ”Om fattigdomens historia”. Därefter fick de svara på ett frågeformulär med öppna frågor om läsningen och deras förhållande till historiekultur i stort. Analysen av resultaten kom att problematisera och lyfta fram två huvudsakliga kritiska faktorer i historieundervisningen och fyra förslag på didaktiska och pedagogiska strategier för att i möjligaste mån utgå från och möta eleverna i densamma. Förslagen skiftar mellan erfarenhetspedagogikens tillmötesgående och en främmandegörande pedagogiks kritiska bearbetning av elevernas erfarenhets- och livsvärld.

Previous issue date: 2013-11-04Erasmus Darwin (1731-1803) was a doctor, botanist, philosopher, inventor and poet. A closer look into his life and work unveils an active 18th-century English man of science, who had a significant role in the foundation of learned societies, such as Birmingham s Lunar Society. Mostly known in the present time as Charles Darwin and Francis Galton s grandfather, he was eventually attributed some anticipations of the former s ideas on evolution. However, Zoonomia was written to introduce the foundations of medical theory and practice to colleagues. According to Darwin, the laws of organic life corresponded to the operation of the faculties of the principle of motions, which he named as spirit of animation. Having resource to some of the ideas most prevalent in his time, he listed such faculties as being four: irritation, sensitivity, sensitivity, volition, and association. Consistently, in his nosology, Darwin applied Carl von Linné´s botanical taxonomy to those faculties to formulate a rational classification of disease, which could also serve as a therapeutic guide
Erasmus Darwin (1731-1803) foi médico, botânico, filósofo, inventor e poeta. Ao se estudar mais profundamente sua vida e sua obra, encontra-se um ativo homem de ciência na Inglaterra do século XVIII, tendo, inclusive, participado da fundação de sociedades de estudiosos, tais como a Lunar Society de Birmingham. Atualmente mais conhecido por ter sido o avô de Charles Darwin e Francis Galton, chegou-se, inclusive, a se atribuir a ele uma antecipação das ideias evolucionistas do primeiro. No entanto, Zoonomia é uma obra destinada a apresentar os fundamentos da teoria e da prática da medicina aos seus colegas. De acordo com Darwin, as leis da vida orgânica se resumem à operação das faculdades do princípio de movimento, que chama de espírito de animação e, com base nas ideias prevalentes na época, reduz à irritação, à sensação, à vontade e à associação. Na sua nosologia, aplica a taxonomia botânica de Carl Von Linné a essas faculdades, de modo a apresentar uma classificação racional das doenças que, ao mesmo tempo, serve como base à terapêutica

O presente trabalho procura explorar as complexas interações entre Darwinismo, fisiologia experimental e antivivisseccionismo na Inglaterra Vitoriana. Como principais personagens encarregadas de conduzir essa narrativa foram eleitos Charles Darwin e a antivivisseccionista Frances Power Cobbe, mas vários darwinistas, fisiologistas e antivivisseccionistas também aparecem nas páginas dessa tese. Outra importante personagem desse estudo é o cão, animal de status privilegiado na Inglaterra, mas que ainda assim foi usado abundantemente nos laboratórios fisiológicos, e procuro explorar as implicações da presença desse animal na mesa de vivissecção. Os eixos temáticos nos quais meu estudo se apoiou foram: 1) a tese darwiniana da origem comum e consequente relação de continuidade mental entre animais e humanos, e as implicações éticas dessa teoria; 2) o problema da dor física e do sofrimento emocional na Inglaterra vitoriana e sua abordagem por Darwin e Cobbe; 3) a noção de crueldade, e sua associação à prática de vivissecção; 4) a faculdade da simpatia, e a noção darwiniana de uma simpatia para além dos confins do homem , relacionada ao conceito atual de comunidade moral. Explorando o contexto sócio-cultural e a produção de discursos favoráveis e contrários à experimentação animal do período, realizei também uma incursão nas estratégias retóricas de autodefinição e definição do adversário pelas duas partes em contenda, incluindo as formas como era retratado o laboratório fisiológico.

This work intends to investigate the complex interactions between Darwinism, experimental physiology and antivivisectionism in Victorian England. The main characters chosen to convey this narratives were Charles Darwin and Frances Power Cobbe, but several other Darwinists, physiologists and antivivisectionists are also present in the following pages. Another important character of this study is the dog, an animal of special status in England, but that even so was often used in physiological laboratories; I try to explore the implications of the presence of this animal in the vivisection table. The main themes of my study were: 1) the Darwinian thesis of common descent and the consequent relationship of mental continuity between animals and humans, as well as the ethical implications of this theory; 2) the problem of physical pain and emotional suffering in Victorian England, and how Darwin and Cobbe explored this subject; 3) the notion of cruelty, and its association to vivisection; 4) the faculty of sympathy, and the Darwinian notion of a “sympathy beyond the confines of man”, related to the current concept of moral community. By exploring the social and cultural context and the production of discourses for and against animal experimentation from the period, I tried to investigate the rhetorical strategies of self-definition and definition of the opponent by both parties of the debate; this includes the way the physiological laboratory was depicted by each one of these parties.

Previous issue date: 2009-08-21This thesis was written to uncover the process were a cultural symbol of a political oppressed people gets in possession of their oppressors, is modified, inserted in their literary imaginary, and then used by the neocolonialist ideology to disqualify the oppressed people‟s culture. The vampire, in popular culture, represents the supreme evil, for them, the foreigners, which do not have the same religion and simbology, being cursed by their God and obligated to walk on the living world, even after death. Studding this character of the popular imaginary, the english intellectual Sabine Baring-Gould change and bring it to the Victorian England mass culture. The evil represented by the vampire is no more the one that was exotic for the Balcanic people, but the foreigner for the english perspective, the uncivilized natives from the colonies. Based in Sabine Baring-Gould, Bram Stoker wrote his gothic fiction book, Drácula, as a way to propagate, for the Victorian citizens, the neocolonialist values of chastity, honor, civilization and xenophobia. Stoker‟s book, besides being a very popular entertainment book, is also famous for the exaltations to the civilized world denizen, the inhabitant of the colonial potencies, in their dominance relationship over the colonial people, the inhabitants of the dark corners of the world, presenting them as monsters capable of the worst depravations
Esta dissertação foi escrita tendo como principal objetivo o desvelamento do processo pelo qual a cultura popular de um povo politicamente oprimido acabou por ser ressignificada por seu opressor e então introduzida no imaginário deste, como símbolo do imaginário literário e artístico, a fim de corroborar a ideologia neo-colonialista, sendo usada para o desmerecimento do povo em questão. O vampiro, na cultura popular, representa o mal supremo, para estes, os estrangeiros que não compartilham de sua religião e de sua simbologia, que é amaldiçoado pela divindade e obrigado a vagar pela terra dos vivos, mesmo estando morto. Perscrutando esta personagem do imaginário popular, o estudioso inglês Sabine Baring-Gould o traduz e o ressignifica para a cultura de massas da Inglaterra Vitoriana. O mal representado pelo vampiro passa a ser não mais o que era estrangeiro para os povos dos Bálcãs, mas o estrangeiro para a perspectiva dos ingleses, o homem incivilizado nativo das colônias. Baseando-se em Baring-Gould, Bram Stoker escreve sua obra de ficção gótica, Drácula, como forma de difundir, entre os cidadãos vitorianos, os valores neo-colonialistas de castidade, honra, civilização e xenofobia. O livro de Stoker, além de ser uma obra de entretenimento extremamente popular, também se destaca por exaltar o cidadão do mundo civilizado, isto é, as metrópoles coloniais, em suas relações de dominação para com as pessoas das colônias, dos cantos escuros da Terra, apresentando estas como monstros incivilizados, capazes das maiores atrocidades

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this essay is to find out to what female migration from Sweden to Britain looked like in 1894, 1914, 1925, and 1940, and to what extent any changes seen were affected by the economy and political changes to women’s rights. In order to do this I have analysed statistics found in archive material, in addition to literature relating to migration into Britain, the economy, and women’s rights, in order to see if there is a correlation between changes in the statistics presented and changes in society. In doing this, I found that although there are immense changes to the rights of women between 1894 and 1940 in both Sweden and Britain, such as the right to vote, the right to equal work, and the right to equal pensions, migration patterns lean much further towards the economical changes than the political changes. The biggest of these economic factors in Britain was quite clearly the industrial revolution, which affected multiple sectors of work for every type of person. Meanwhile Sweden had a situation where there was an excess of women in the country, and 90% of those that worked were agricultural workers, leading to a large outlier of ‘pigor’ or female farmhands who emigrated in 1894.Syftet med denna uppsatsen är att undersöka hur kvinnlig migration från Sverige till Storbritannien såg ut under år 1894, 1914, 1925 och 1940. Jag har även undersökt till vilken grad eventuella ändringar, av migrationen, påverkades av ekonomin och även de politiska förändringarna gällande kvinnliga rättigheter. För att uppnå syftet har jag analyserat statistik samlad från arkivmaterial. Detta tillsammans med litteratur kring migration till Storbritannien, ekonomin och kvinnliga rättigheter, för att kunna se ifall det finns en korrelation mellan skillnaderna i den presenterade statistiken och hur samhället ändrades. Genom att göra detta fann jag att fastän det finns stora skillnader i kvinnornas rättigheter mellan 1894 och 1940 i både Sverige och Storbritannien, som till exempel rösträtten, rätt till arbete och rätt till samma pension som män, så lutade ändringen i migrationen mycket mer åt i hur ekonomin ändrade sig än själva politiken. Den största ekonomiska faktorn i Storbritannien var den industriella revolutionen, vilket påverkade många olika arbetssektorer för alla i samhället. Under tiden detta pågick i Storbritannien fann Sverige sig i en situation där det fanns ett överflöd av kvinnor i landet, varav 90% arbetade inom jordbruket. En följd av situationen var den konstaterade utflyttningen av många pigor till Storbritannien år 1894.

The studies on agriculture, both in England and the United States of America, have been essential for the institutionalization of the chemical agriculture in the nineteenth century. Those studies were centered on the cooperation between the researches developed in educational institutions and the ones developed in the work field. By that time, the increase of the soil fertility was a matter that needed to be solved in both countries and the Peruvian guano began to be broadly used, thus, originating uncountable studies involving its composition and efficiency as a fertilizer. This material accomplished great commercial value, leading to its counterfeiting in so many ways. Thereby, releases focusing on farmers, convincing them of the guano s efficiency as a fertilizer and also warning them about the counterfeits and how to recognize them, were published in the mid-nineteenth century. In this context, this present work approaches, especially, the texts from J.C. Nesbit (published in England) and from S. Robinson (published in the USA), which spread the using of guano as a solution for the soil infertility
Na Inglaterra e nos Estados Unidos do século XIX, os estudos em agricultura se mostraram essenciais para a institucionalização da agricultura química. Tais estudos estavam centrados na cooperação entre as pesquisas desenvolvidas nas instituições de ensino e as pesquisas realizadas no trabalho do campo. Naquele período, o aumento da fertilidade do solo era uma das questões a ser resolvida em ambos os países e o guano peruano passou a ser amplamente utilizado, fazendo originar inúmeros estudos envolvendo sua composição e eficiência como fertilizante. Esse material alcançou, ainda, grande valor comercial, levando à sua falsificação de diversas maneiras. Com isso, em meados do século XIX, surgem, tanto na Inglaterra como nos Estados Unidos publicações destinadas aos agricultores procurando, por um lado, convencer os leitores da eficiência do guano como fertilizante e, por outro, alertá-los sobre as falsificações assim como fornecer meios para reconhecer o produto adulterado. Neste contexto, esta dissertação aborda principalmente os textos de J.C. Nesbit (publicado na Inglaterra) e de S. Robinson (Estados Unidos), que promoviam a utilização do guano como solução para os problemas de infertilidade dos solos

In seventeenth-century England, the saltpeter was one of the most studied materials, for its commercial value and the issues involving its origin and obtaining. At mid-century, the British dependence in saltpetre export took several science men to engage attempt in the studies and researchs on this material. Among these scholars, we will accent important studies groups worried about commonweal, as Samuel Hartlib and his associates; which would become the Royal Society of London; and, still, scholars as Benjamin Worsley , Robert Boyle and Thomas Henshaw

The problem relative to man s place in nature operated as a common thread among several notions and theories formulated and debated in Victorian England. That was precisely the subject of Man s Place in Nature, a book by Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) that became highly influential from the 1860s onwards. In addition, Huxley gave countless lectures, participated in hot public debates, and wrote essays and letters on that subject. The aim of the present study was to analyze contextual and epistemological features relative to Huxley s book. Following a mapping of the ideas on man s place in nature held in England in the first half of the 19th century up to the 1860s, Man s Place in Nature was subjected to epistemological analysis. Our results point to an overlapping of the ideas then formulated relative to zoological classification and appropriate criteria for comparison required for accurate grading of living beings, as e.g., the marks of animality . In this regard, Huxley prioritized the criteria provided by comparative anatomy and the current ideas on human races, as well as the traditional notions on the gradation of species and scale of nature , aiming at formulating a general law that would ensure the essential unity of humankind with the remainder of nature. Such general law was particularly necessary to demonstrate Huxley s hypothesis stating that there is no essential antithesis between human beings and the other animals, and that the physical, moral and mental differences between them do not suffice to posit an insurmountable gap between humankind and nature
O problema acerca do lugar do homem na natureza constituiu uma espécie de fio condutor ao redor do qual diversos conceitos foram formulados e várias teorias foram debatidas no contexto da Inglaterra vitoriana. Esse tópico foi encapsulado no título de uma obra muito influente a partir da década 1860, Man s Place in Nature (O lugar do homem na natureza), cujo o autor, Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) ministrou palestras, debateu publicamente, escreveu ensaios e trocou cartas sobre o tema em questão. O objetivo do presente estudo foi explorar os aspectos contextuais e epistemológicos relacionados à referida obra de Huxley. Assim, foi feito um mapeamento das ideias sobre o lugar do ser humano na natureza na Inglaterra na primeira metade do século XIX até os anos 1860, seguido de uma análise primariamente epistemológica da obra de Huxley. Tal estudo nos permitiu identificar uma sobreposição de ideias acerca do processo de classificação zoológica, ou de critérios de comparação, como as marcas de animalidade , necessários para a correta hierarquização dos seres. Verificou-se que o uso desses critérios levou Huxley a invocar os fatos produzidos pela anatomia comparada, bem como as ideias contemporâneas sobre as raças humanas, além das ideias mais tradicionais sobre a gradação das espécies e a escala natural , no intuito de formular uma lei geral que assegurasse a unidade da humanidade com o resto do mundo natural. Essa lei geral era necessária para comprovar a hipótese de que não havia uma antítese essencial entre os seres humanos e os demais animais e que as diferenças existentes entre eles não eram suficientes para justificar a suposta incomensurabilidade física, moral e mental entre ambos

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores modalities in two hagiographical collections from the late Middle Ages; the Legenda Aurea and the Gilte Legende by drawing inspiration from post-colonial hybridity theories.. It conducts a close textual analysis by studying the use of pronouns in five saints’ legends where female saints transcend traditional gender identities and become men, and focuses on how they transcend, live as men, and die. The study concludes that the use of pronouns is fluid in the Latin Legenda Aurea, while the Middle English Gilte Legende has more female pronouns and additions to the texts where the female identity of the saints is emphasised. This is interpreted as a sign of the feminisation of religious language in Europe during the late Middle Ages, and viewed parallel with the increase of holy women at that time. By doing this, it underlines the importance of new words and concepts when describing and understanding medieval views on gender.

Full textAbstract:
The medieval historian engaged with the systems of power and authority that surrounded him. In his account of the Peasants' Revolt in late medieval England, the ecclesiastical historian Henry Knighton (d. 1396) both reinforced and challenged the traditional order. This thesis explores the ways in which his ideological perspectives shaped his understanding of the events of June 1381 and how this understanding was articulated through the structure, language, and cultural meaning of the historical text. The reconstruction of authorial intention and reclamation of both Knighton and the medieval reader as active participants in the creation of history challenge a historiography that has long disregarded Knighton as an unremarkable historical recorder. Instead, they reveal a scholar whose often extraordinary approach to the rebels and traditional authorities expresses a great deal about the theory, practice, and construction of power and authority in late medieval England.
