Abstract:

This submission for PhD by Publication includes three studies designed to reflect the popular view of ordinary Palestinians regarding events and politics in Palestine throughout modern history. They aim to primarily provide a ‘history from below’ political discourse of the Palestinian people. While the studies do not purport to determine with certainty the exact dynamics that propel Palestinian politics and society - as in where political power ultimately lies - they attempt to present a long-dormant argument that sees ‘history from below’ as an indispensable platform providing essential insig

The poor are relegated to the upper town, while the wealthy live in the lower town and have the benefit of a view of the bay. The main characters of The History are Pieter Fortuin, the mayor of Soutbek and former upper towner; his wife Anna Fortuin; and then to a lesser extent, Sara, a teenage run

Abstract:

This study answers the question “what is writing studies?” by answering the question, “who is writing studies?” This dissertation attempts a people’s history of writing studies in Canada insofar as it defines writing studies, gives shape to the people who work in it, and begins to offer an explicitly political account of working in this field. Chapter 1 covers the motivation and context for the study, the framing of the research through feminist standpoint theory and survey research informed by life writing, significance of the study, and an outline of the chapters. Chapter 2 provides a litera

A Short Guide to Writing about History is an ideal complement for any history course intended to teach students to think and write like historians. This engaging and practical text will teach students how to go beyond reporting the basic dates and facts of their history books and show them how to infuse their writing with their own ideas and unique perspective. Covering brief essays and the documented resource paper, the text explores the writing and researching processes, different modes of historical writing (including argument), and offers guidelines for improving style as well as documen

Abstract:

Popular accounts of British history written around 1900 are very different from those written around 2000. There is no comprehensive study of the nature of this change. The popular narrative of England/Britain has been shaped by the nation’s role in the world, by contemporary historiographical approaches, and the different ways the British have thought about themselves and their nation. Popular, single author comprehensive syntheses of national history reveal assumptions about the character of the nation and the sort of stories that could convincingly be written about it at different times.

Abstract:

Since the classical era of education, the evaluation of written compositions has been an important responsibility of teachers, and written compositions have had some bearing on the ranking of students within both class and institution. In the late nineteenth century, composition-teaching and the ranking of students' work merged in the freshman composition courses in this country. The merger has obscured the controversies attending composition-teaching and ranking, and has contributed to a continuing emphasis on the surface details of writing. Teachers' attitudes about ranking, overlooked by mo

Abstract:

Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect in science fiction demonstr

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to explore historical perspective of brass music. There is a brief history of brass bands in Britain. Furthermore, the paper examines the differences between two brass band pieces in the repertoire, A Western Fanfare by Eric Ewazen and Brass Symphony by Jan Koetsier. Both of these pieces were compared and contrasted against the author's newly composed work for brass, Two Companion Pieces for Brass Ensemble. The paper covers different techniques commonly used in brass writing and points these techniques out in all three pieces.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a critical framework for historically considering photography in Australia from the 1840s to the 1970s. The approach adopted is to critically map the currently constituted field of photographic history by taking the existing accounts of photography in Australia and the key issues of photographic history as a series of starting points. These are presented, then interrogated by setting them into new evaluative contexts. The basic claim of the thesis, presented in the Introduction, is for the necessity of considering and recognising the constitution of photography in the br

A perennial question in the philosophy of history is whether history is a science or an art. This thesis contests that this question constitutes a false dichotomy, limiting the discussion in such a way as to exclude other possibilities of understanding the nature of the historical task. The speculative philosophies of Augustine, Kant, and Marx; the critical philosophies of Ranke, Comte along with the later positivist, and the historical idealist such as Collingwood will be surveyed. History is then examined along side art to discuss not only the similarities but, the differences. Major simi

Though the American Revolutionary Army is often portrayed as a crucible of national feeling, this study of 169 diaries reveals that Revolutionary soldiers barely understood, or accepted as part of their community, large parts of the country for which they fought. The diaries include journals of ordinary soldiers, officers, and camp followers, and demonstrate the largely overlooked significance of soldiers’ physical environment in shaping their world-view. Typically episodic, often filled with random and apparently mundane detail, and occasionally dark with deep sadness and melancholy, diary wr

Abstract:

The subject of the present PhD thesis consists in an analysis of the fictional treatment of moral concepts and realities in some novels by the contemporary South African writer J. M. Coetzee. The thesis as a whole may be regarded as grounded on the idea that literature bears significant relevance to the contemporary ethical discourse in general, and to an understanding of the postcolonial one in particular. The following analysis will therefore address the moral concepts as context-embedded and it will seek to discuss Coetzee's treatment of them in relation to a broad range of philosophical co

Its purpose is to address a significant gap in modern scholarship by establishing the origin, development and purpose of annalistic writing in Normandy and to consider the contribution of the texts to our understanding of Norman history in this period .

Trecento Italy, the century of Dante and Petrarch as well as the mechanical clock, represented a pivotal moment of innovation to formal measures of time. These creative expressions reflected transforming notions of ingenuity, and of man’s ability to shape the world and time in which he lived. While the mythic awakening of the self-conscious individual in Renaissance Italy has been largely demystified, criticism has tended to overlook the concurrent shifts to the Trecento temporal imagination, born of parallel practices that sought to recover cosmogonic secrets, and thus power over time.

This thesis is a cultural materialist exploration of the trans-generic work of D. H. Lawrence.

The consequence is neither a "radicalized" Lawrence nor a right-wing caricature of him, but a politically hybrid Lawrence whose texts are sites of struggle with the socio-historical contradictions of modernity. In chapter 1, I show how Lawrence can critique bourgeois culture and its m
