Abstract:
This project examines one strand of Alexander Technique1 pedagogy: the approach pioneered by the noted American Alexander teacher, Marjorie Barstow, the first graduate of F. Matthias Alexander’s training course. Barstow’s approach is favoured by performers because of its immediate and direct application to real and challenging situations. At the end of her life, from the 1970s to the early 1990s, she attracted thousands of students to her workshops, and many of her long-term students have since become world-renowned teachers themselves. Barstow’s detractors have argued, however, that because her teaching and teacher-training methods varied from mainstream approaches, she neither taught the Alexander Technique nor trained teachers. This opinion assumes a limited and even tendentious approach to interpreting Alexander’s legacy. One reason for the contrary opinion is the failure to view Alexander’s Technique in a wider intellectual and pedagogical context. I address this problem by situating Barstow’s pedagogy in the context of educational and philosophical theories being developed contemporaneously with and in line with Alexander’s own discoveries, theory and pedagogy. In particular, Barstow’s work is examined in relation to the “pragmatic” turn inphilosophy observable in the thought of John Dewey, who involved himself directly with the Alexander Technique and its founder. I consider Barstow, Dewey and F.M. Alexander for the first time as educationalists, practitioners and thinkers who are linked by a common concern with the pragmatic ends of philosophy.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>School of Education and Professional Studies<br>Arts, Education and Law<br>Full Text

Abstract:
In this project I explore the development of bird illustrations in early American natural history publication. I follow three groups in Philadelphia from 1812 to 1858: institutions, artist-naturalists, and printmakers. Each of these groups modeled a certain normative vision of illustration, promoting, producing, and publishing images that reflected their senses of what constituted good illustration. I argue that no single set of actors in this narrative did work that would become the ultimate standard-bearer for ornithological illustration; rather, all of them negotiated the conflicting interests of their own work as positioned against, or alongside, those who had come before. Their diverse intentions, aesthetic and practical, sat prominently in their separate visions of drawing birds; utility, artistry, and feasibility of the images directed the creation of the illustrations. How they used their ideal ways of depicting birds changed the ways that their successors would confront the practice of illustrating birds.<br>Master of Science

"Studies in medieval Scottish historical romance : an examination of John Barbour's Bruce, Hary's Wallace, the octosyllabic Buik of King Alexander, and the decasyllabic Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2000. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265445.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis offers a study of four Middle Scots poems, John Barbour's Bruce, Hary's Wallace, the octosyllabic Buik of King Alexander and the decasyllabic Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour, which were composed in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. While this thesis falls into two clear sections, the first of which examines John Barbour's Bruce and Hary's Wallace, and the second of which examines the octosyllabic Buik of King Alexander and the decasyllabic Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour, these are linked by the common concern of all four texts with the question of kingship. Each of the texts are studied within the political and cultural context of their composition in order to examine how their portrayal of kingship may have been influenced by contemporary concerns. In the case of John Barbour's Bruce and Hary's Wallace the ways in which these texts both represent and contribute to the development of a sense of Scottish national identity and an emergent Scottish 'nationalism' is considered. In the case of the two Middle Scots Alexander-books consideration is given to the question of the disputed authorship of these texts. In addition, in the case of the decasyllabic Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour, which has only recently been edited, it is argued that a number of episodes are borrowed from the work known in its Latin version as the Liber Philosophorum Moralium Antiquorum and in its French version as the Dits Moraulx. A number of interesting similarities are also observed between the decasyllabic Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour and the, as yet unedited L 'Histoire d'Alexandre of Jehan Wauquelin. Finally, consideration is given to the tension between the attempt in the Buik of King Alexander the Conquerour to present Alexander as both a 'romance hero' and a 'philosopher king'.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Jean-Luc Solère<br>This dissertation examines the noetics of several early thirteenth-century Latin Augustinian thinkers, who first received Aristotle's noetic from the Arabs, examining in detail the early Latin reception of Aristotelian proposal that human thought is caused by the `agent intellect'. I argue that the early Latin-Augustinian reactions to the Arab noetics reveal an abiding Latin commitment to a concept of selfhood in natural thought. For different reasons, these early 13th century Latin thinkers explicitly locate the principle of natural thought within the individual's soul, thus conceiving the individual as the spontaneous origin of the activity of his or her thinking. I propose that there is a progressively more refined development of this concept within the interpretation of the Peripatetic noetic proposed within the early 13th century Franciscan school. I trace this development through John of La Rochelle to the anonymous author of the Summa Fratris Alexandri Book 2 to Bonaventure's early thought. At the same time, I analyze this Franciscan development relative to William of Auvergne's well-conceived opposition to all interpretations of the Aristotelian noetic. I make the case that William's critique sets the standard for the noetic of the individual to which these Franciscans adhere, even in their adoption of the Aristotelian noetic. I then argue that to adhere to William's standard, these Franciscans drew on Averroes' account of the agent intellect as found in Averroes' Commentarium Magnum in Aristotelis De Anima Libros. Finally, I argue that within the early 13th century's development of the noetic of the individual, there is an important, self-conscious development of the historico-philosophical concept of the Western self<br>Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2012<br>Submitted to: Boston College.

Abstract:
<p>Uppsatsens syfte var att undersöka samspelet mellan porträttör och beställare i porträttets fält. Med hjälp av tre fallstudier med porträtt från tre olika tidsepoker har samspelet analyserats. De tre fallstudierna är Alexanders Roslins porträtt av Fredrik Sparre, Richard Avedons porträtt av Jacqueline och John F Kennedy och skolfotografens porträtt av eleven. Bourdieus sociologiska terminologi och betraktelsesätt har till viss del använts för att försöka förstå detta samspel. Man skulle kunna tro att ett porträtt skapas på ungefär samma vis varje gång men de olika porträttens historier i den här uppsatsen skiljer sig markant åt. Även om de olika </p><p>porträttörerna och de olika beställarna har haft olika syften med porträtten, och även om de olika fallstudierna är tagna från olika tidsepoker har gemensamma nämnare för alla tre studier framkommit. Det intressanta är att se att det finns bredvidaktörer som har stor betydelse för färdigställandet av porträtten. Porträttör och beställare verkar inte ensamma i fältet utan fler aktörer påverkar processen från idé till färdigt porträtt. Bredvidaktörer som utmärkte sig är i Roslins fall Greve de Cauylus, i Avedons fall Jacqueline Kennedy och i kolfotografens fall rektorn. Det är aktörer som är med i hela processen, från idé till färdigt porträtt. Porträttörens frihet i skapandeprocessen är i alla tre fall begränsad. Det visade sig snart att friheten var begränsad i alla tre fallstudier och av olika skäl. I Roslins fall var konkurrensen om uppdragen stenhård. Hans framgång med porträttet på Sparre berodde på hans förmåga att lyssna in och anpassa sig till betydelsefulla personer i porträttets fält. Avedon hade en stark längtan till att skapa porträtt med djupare innebörd, men kände att han inte lyckats med detta i porträttet på </p><p>Kennedys. Friheten begränsades av tidsbristen samt John F Kennedys motvilja att posera stillasittande. Skolfotografens frihet begränsas av strikta regler från företaget hur porträttet ska se ut och skolans snäva tidsram och normer.</p>

Zhuang, Yue. "Et in Arcadia Ego : landscape theory and the funereal imagination in eighteenth-century Britain." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/18756.

Full text
Abstract:
This study considers the relationship between landscape and the Arcadian funereal imagination in the context of eighteenth century Britain, arguing that the Arcadian landscapes imagined by the British elite were instruments of rituals facilitating the reformation and transformation of socioeconomic, political, and moral structures of the British empire. Drawing upon texts and landscape practices, three case studies are examined: Alexander Pope’s (1688-1744) Twickenham grotto and his descriptive letter to Edward Blount; Sir William Chambers’ (1723-1796) Dissertation on oriental gardening and his design for Kew gardens, Sir John Soane’s (1753-1837) manuscript Crude hints towards an history of my house in LIF and his house-museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London. The landscape itinerary of Pope’s Twickenham villa, in relation to his letter to Blount, suggests that it was structured analogous to the initiatory route of the Eleusinian mysteries as accounted in Pope’s translation of the Odyssey. Noting Pope’s engagement with Freemasonry, associated with the Opposition party, I suggest this implied Odyssean journey not only metaphorically anticipates the restitution of the Stuart dynasty and the reassertion of a political order founded upon aristocratic land ownership, but is also a means by which the ‘initiates’ contest the Enlightenment ideal of a mind of autonomy. In relation to the Burkean sublime, Chambers’ Dissertation, an imaginary travel narrative, is read as a city landscaping theory which aims to shape the morals of British citizens exposed to the erosion of commercial society. Whilst the scenes of luxury in the Chinese gardens imply a double effect of commercial society, the funereal imagery of ‘the surprising,’ built upon the Burkean sublime-effect, is intended as a cure of moral corruption associated with luxury. Stimulated by geological notions (e.g. stratigraphy and catastrophism), Soane’s ruinous text of Crude hints, a mirror of the house-museum as well as the earth, illustrates a parallel between the ‘first principles’ of the movement of the earth and that of the mind, i.e. imagination and signification. The funereal imagination in the text, which itself represents simultaneous creation and destruction, is revealed to be the architect’s construction of an ideal language that can express the being of the nation and the self. This thesis ends with a theoretical discussion of the role of the funereal imagination in eighteenth century landscape and architecture, i.e. how British imperial identity was forged, transmitted, negotiated, and reconstructed constantly within the temporally and spatially extended discursive realm of Arcadian mythology.

Chang, Young-Shim. "Reading Handel: A Textual and Musical Analysis of Handel's Acis and Galatea (1708, 1718)." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2005. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc5582/.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this dissertation is two-fold: one is to analyze the narratives of Acis and Galatea written by Ovid, and the two libretti by Handel's librettists including Nicola Giuvo (1708) and John Gay (1718) with John Hughes and Alexander Pope; the other is to correlate this textual analysis within the musical languages. A 1732 pastiche version is excluded because its bilingual texts are not suitable for the study of relationships between meaning and words. For this purpose, the study uses the structural theory- -mainly that of Gérard Genette--as a theoretical framework for the analysis of the texts. Narrative analysis of Acis and Galatea proves that the creative process of writing the libretto is a product of a conscious acknowledgement of its structure by composer and librettists. They put the major events of the story into recitative and ensemble. By examining the texts of both Handel's work, I explore several structural layers from the libretti: the change of the characterization to accommodate a specific occasion and the composer's response to contemporary English demand for pastoral drama with parodistic elements, alluding to the low and high class of society. Further, Polyphemus is examined in terms of relationships with culture corresponding to his recurrent pattern of appearance.

Abstract:
This thesis argues that there is an enigma at the heart of Webster's The Duchess of Malfi; a disjunction between the critical history of the play and its reception in performance. Historical disquiet about the status of the play among academics and cultural commentators has not prevented its popularity with audiences. It has, however, affected some of the staging decisions made by theatre companies mounting productions. Allied to other practical factors, these have impacted significantly – and occasionally disastrously – upon performances. It is argued that Webster conceived the play as a meditation on degree and, in aiming to draw out the maximum relevance from the social satire, deliberately created the multi-faceted performative role of Bosola to work his audience in a complex and subversive manner. The role's purpose was determined in response to the structural discontinuity imposed upon the play by the physical realities of staging within the Blackfriars' auditorium. But Webster also needed an agent to serve the plot's development and, in creating the role he also invented a character, developed way beyond the material of his sources. This character proved as trapped as any other in the play by the consequences of his own moral choices. Hovering between role and character, Webster's creation remains liminally poised on ‘the dangerous edge of things.' Part One explores the contexts in which Webster created one of the most ambiguous figures in early modern drama - subverting stock malcontent, villain and revenger - and speculates on the importance of the actor, John Lowin in its genesis. It includes a subsequent performance history of the role. Part Two presents the detailed analysis of a range of professional performances from the past four decades, attempting to demonstrate how the meaning of the play has been altered by decisions made regarding the part of Bosola.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores ideas of liberty in the later eighteenth century with particular reference to the books and pamphlets that helped make that period so intriguingly rewarding for modern Enlightenment historians and political theorists alike. After an introductory chapter that sets the scene for what follows by examining the major strands of the liberty theme (e.g. natural rights and the state of nature, the pursuit of happiness, the issue of property, democratic republicanism etc.), the contribution of key Scottish Enlightenment writers (especially Hutcheson, Hume and Smith) is discussed and evaluated. The rest of Part One takes the form of successive chapters concerning, respectively, the radical politics of the town of Paisley in the light of its industrial and religious background in the later eighteenth century, and the key theme of liberty of the press, with special attention paid to the importance of bibliographical aspects of the Scottish sedition trials of the 1790s. This is the first study to have concentrated on this dimension of the trials. Again, the importance of Paisley as a radical hotspot throughout this time is seen to be significant in this context, not least on account of the Paisley Declaration and Address having been key exhibits in the indictment of Thomas Muir at his trial in 1793. Part Two concerns three individuals, all Paisley emigrants to America, whose lives reveal in various meaningful ways different aspects of the liberty theme. The American careers of all three are seen to have touched on the life of Thomas Paine, one of the greatest figures of the radical Enlightenment; this is particularly true of Witherspoon and Aitken. Further, in the case of all three, important new light is presented, supporting the view that, severally and individually, they represent significant figures in the context of the Scottish diaspora in the thirty year period, 1769 to 1799. Again, however, it is the bibliographical context that is emphasised, mos t obviously in the case of the émigré bookseller, printer and publisher, Robert Aitken. Special emphasis is placed, however, on the Scottish and American career of John Witherspoon, whose relatively recent emergence from scholarly neglect (in both Scotland and America) is welcomed and explained. It is indeed primarily in relation to Witherspoon - who, it is argued, should properly be regarded as a towering figure in this period, in spite of his essentially derivative contribution to Enlightenment political thought - that this study can be said to be grounded. The study concludes with an assessment of the Paisley radical weaver poet, Alexander Wilson, and discusses his relationship to the extreme radical, James Kennedy, the extent of whose political activism is here examined (from both a bibliographical and historical viewpoint) for the first time in any academic presentation.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the nature of primary, intermediate and district high school buildings designed by the Building Department of the Canterbury Education Board from its consolidation in 1916 until its termination in 1989. Before 1916, the influence of British models on the CEB’s predecessors had been dominant, while after that date, Board architects were more likely to attempt vernacular solutions that were relevant to the geographic situation of the Canterbury district, the secular nature of New Zealand education and changing ideas of the relative importance of the key architectural drivers of design i.e. function and form. One development, unique to Canterbury, was that for a short period, from 1924-29, a local pressure group, the Open Air Schools’ League became so powerful that it virtually dictated the CEB’s design policy until the Board architects George Penlington and John Alexander Bigg reassumed control by inflecting the open-air model into the much acclaimed veranda block. The extent to which Board architects had the freedom to express themselves within a framework of funding control exercised by the Department of Education was further circumscribed by successive building codes that, at their most directive, required national standardisation under the 1951 Dominion Basic Plan and to a slightly lesser extent under the1956 code and associated White Lines regime. Following World War 2, the use of prefabricated structures had prompted the recognition that better designed relocatable rooms could hold the key to a more flexible and effective allocation of resources in an environment increasingly subject to rapid demographic change. By the end of the period, the exploitation of new construction technologies and modern materials led to the dominance of the relocatable CEBUS buildings in Canterbury schoolyards. A concurrent development was the response of architects A. Frederick (Fred) McCook and John Sinclair Arthur to the Department’s call to design more flexible spaces, i.e. open planning, to facilitate a change in pedagogical method. Other issues raised in this study are the CEB’s solutions to the challenges of building on the West Coast, and the recurring need to ensure structural integrity in a region where there was a continuous risk of seismic activity.

Full text
Abstract:
In this project, I examine the impact of early literary criticism, early literary history, and the history of knowledge on the perception of the laureateship as it was formulated at specific moments in the eighteenth century. Instead of accepting the assessments of Pope and Johnson, I reconstruct the contemporary impact of laureate writings and the writing that fashioned the view of the laureates we have inherited. I use an array of primary documents (from letters and journal entries to poems and non-fiction prose) to analyze the way the laureateship as a literary identity was constructed in several key moments: the debate over hack literature in the pamphlet wars surrounding Elkanah Settle’s The Empress of Morocco (1673), the defense of Colley Cibber and his subsequent attempt to use his expertise of theater in An Apology for the Life of Colley Cibber (1740), the consolidation of hack literature and state-sponsored poetry with the crowning of Colley Cibber as the King of the Dunces in Pope’s The Dunciad in Four Books (1742), the fashioning of Thomas Gray and William Mason as laureate rejecters in Mason’s Memoirs of the Life and Writings of William Whitehead (1788), Southey’s progressive work to abolish laureate task writing in his laureate odes 1813-1821, and, finally, in Wordsworth’s refusal to produce any laureate task writing during his tenure, 1843-1850. In each case, I explain how the construction of this office was central to the consolidation of literary history and to forging authorial identity in the same period. This differs from the conventional treatment of the laureates because I expose the history of the versions of literary history that have to date structured how scholars understand the laureate, and by doing so, reveal how the laureateship was used to create, legitimate and disseminate the model of literary history we still use today.

Jeffrey, Johnson Kirstin Elizabeth. "Rooted in all its story, more is meant than meets the ear : a study of the relational and revelational nature of George MacDonald's mythopoeic art." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/1887.

Full text
Abstract:
Scholars and storytellers alike have deemed George MacDonald a great mythopoeic writer, an exemplar of the art. Examination of this accolade by those who first applied it to him proves it profoundly theological: for them a mythopoeic tale was a relational medium through which transformation might occur, transcending boundaries of time and space. The implications challenge much contemporary critical study of MacDonald, for they demand that his literary life and his theological life cannot be divorced if either is to be adequately assessed. Yet they prove consistent with the critical methodology MacDonald himself models and promotes. Utilizing MacDonald’s relational methodology evinces his intentional facilitating of Mythopoesis. It also reveals how oversights have impeded critical readings both of MacDonald’s writing and of his character. It evokes a redressing of MacDonald’s relationship with his Scottish cultural, theological, and familial environment – of how his writing is a response that rises out of these, rather than, as has so often been asserted, a mere reaction against them. Consequently it becomes evident that key relationships, both literary and personal, have been neglected in MacDonald scholarship – relationships that confirm MacDonald’s convictions and inform his writing, and the examination of which restores his identity as a literature scholar. Of particular relational import in this reassessment is A.J. Scott, a Scottish visionary intentionally chosen by MacDonald to mentor him in a holistic Weltanschauung. Little has been written on Scott, yet not only was he MacDonald’s prime influence in adulthood, but he forged the literary vocation that became MacDonald’s own. Previously unexamined personal and textual engagement with John Ruskin enables entirely new readings of standard MacDonald texts, as does the textual engagement with Matthew Arnold and F.D. Maurice. These close readings, informed by the established context, demonstrate MacDonald’s emergence, practice, and intent as a mythopoeic writer.

L'art contemporain, de dé-définition en dé-définition, a évolué dans certains de ses développements, principalement sous la forme conceptuelle, vers une utilisation toujours plus prononcée du langage verbal, reléguant les préoccupations plastiques au second plan. L'architecture, art qui semble s'incarner fondamentalement dans la matérialité, connaît des évolutions analogues. Des architectes se positionnent sur le terrain du concept, faisant du discours l'outil principal de leur recherche. Partant de l'idée que pensée plastique et pensée verbale fonctionnent selon des modalités distinctes, nous avons étudié l'oeuvre, autant écrite que bâtie, d'architectes contemporains dont l'utilisation du texte est prépondérante dans la création. Nous avons distingué trois formes de discours - la forme poétique - qui fait du discours une oeuvre, la forme théorique - convoquant des concepts philosophiques, et la forme mathématique, qui ambitionne la création d'un méta-langage au service de la conception - et nous avons tenté de comprendre leur rôle respectifs dans la projétation<br>Contemporary art, through « de-definitions », has evolved in some of its developments, mainly in the conceptual form, into an ever more pronounced use of verbal language, relegating the plastic concerns to the background. Architecture, which seems to be embodied fundamentally through materiality, experiences similar trends. Some architects are positioned on the field of concepts, making speech the primary tool of their research. Based on the idea that plastic thinking and verbal thinking operate under separate arrangements, we studied the work, written and built, of contemporary architects for whom the use of text is prominent in creation. We have identified three forms of discourse, the poetic form - which makes speech a work of art, the theoretical form - convening philosophical concepts, and the mathematical form, which aims at creating a meta-language serving the design - and we tried to understand their respective parts in the project planning

Full text
Abstract:
The decades before the Scottish Reformation Parliament of 1560 witnessed the unprecedented use of a range of different media to disseminate the Protestant message and to shape beliefs and attitudes. By placing these works within their historical context, this thesis explores the ways in which various media – academic discourse, courtly entertainments, printed poetry, public performances, preaching and pedagogical tools – were employed by evangelical and Protestant reformers to persuade and/or educate different audiences within sixteenth-century Scottish society. The thematic approach examines not only how the reformist message was packaged, but how the movement itself and its persuasive agenda developed, revealing the ways in which it appealed to ever broader circles of Scottish society. In their efforts to bring about religious change, the reformers capitalised on a number of traditional media, while using different media to address different audiences. Hoping to initiate reform from within Church institutions, the reformers first addressed their appeals to the kingdom's educated elite. When their attempts at reasoned academic discourse met with resistance, they turned their attention to the monarch, James V, and the royal court. Reformers within the court utilised courtly entertainments intended to amuse the royal circle and to influence the young king to oversee the reformation of religion within his realm. When, following James's untimely death in 1542, the throne passed to his infant daughter, the reformers took advantage of the period of uncertainty that accompanied the minority. Through the relatively new technology of print, David Lindsay's poetry and English propaganda presented the reformist message to audiences beyond the kingdom's elite. Lindsay and other reformers also exploited the oral media of religious theatre in public spaces, while preaching was one of the most theologically significant, though under-researched, means of disseminating the reformist message. In addition to works intended to convert, the reformers also recognised the need for literature to edify the already converted. To this end, they produced pedagogical tools for use in individual and group devotions. Through the examination of these various media of persuasion, this study contributes to our understanding of the means by which reformed ideas were disseminated in Scotland, as well as the development of the reformist movement before 1560.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines selected works by four white female Zimbabwean writers: Alexandra Fuller, Lauren Liebenberg, Bryony Rheam and Lauren St John, in light of the controversy over the spate of white memoirs which followed the violent confiscation of white farms in Zimbabwe from 2000 onwards. The controversy hinges on the notion that white memoir writers exploit the perceived victimhood of white Zimbabweans in the international sphere, and nostalgically recall a time of belonging – as children in Rhodesia – which fails to address the fraught colonial history which is directly related to the current political climate of the country. I argue that such critiques are too generalised, and I regard the selected texts as primarily critical of the values and lifestyles of white Rhodesians/Zimbabweans. The texts I have selected include a range of autobiographical and fictional writing, or memoirs and pseudo-memoirs, and I focus on form as a medium enabling an exploration of identity. The ways in which these authors conform to and adapt particular narratives of becoming is examined in each chapter, with a particular focus on the transition from innocence to experience, the autobiography, and the Bildungsroman. Gender is a recurring point of interest: in each case the female selves/protagonists are situated in terms of the family, which, in reflecting social values, is a key site of conflict. In regard to trends in white African writing, I explore the white African (farm) childhood memoir and the confessional mode. Ultimately I maintain that while the texts may be classified as white writing, as they are fundamentally concerned with white identity, and therefore evince certain limitations of perspective and form, including clichéd tendencies, all the writers interrogate white identity and the fictional texts more self-reflexively deconstruct tropes of white writing.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the political origins of Loyalism in New York City between 1768 and 1778. Anchored by an analysis of political mobilization, this dissertation is structured into two parts. Part I has two chapters. Using a variety of private and public sources, the first chapter analyses how 9,338 mostly white male Loyalists in New York City and the counties of Kings, Queens, Suffolk and Westchester were mobilized. Chapter 1 argues that elites and British forces played a fundamental role in the broad-based mobilization of Loyalists in the province of New York. It also recognises that colonists signed Loyalist documents for many different reasons. The second chapter of Part I is a large-scale prosopographical analysis of the 9,338 identified Loyalists. This analysis was based on a diverse range of sources. This analysis shows that a majority of the province’s Loyalist population were artisans aged between 22 and 56 years of age. Part II of this dissertation examines political mobilization in New York City between 1768 and 1775. In three chapters, Part II illustrates how elite and non-elite white male New Yorkers coalesced into two distinct groups. Chapter 3 concentrates on the emergence of the DeLanceys as a political force in New York, Chapter 4 on their mobilization and coalescence into ‘the Friends to Liberty and Trade’, or ‘the Club’, and Chapter 5 examines the political origins of what became Loyalism by studying the social networks of three members of ‘the Club’. By incorporating an interdisciplinary methodology, Part II illustrates that members of ‘the Club’ developed ties with one another that transcended their political origins. It argues that the partisanship of New York City led members of ‘the Club’ to adopt inward-looking characteristics that affected who they interacted with on an everyday basis. A large proportion of ‘the Club’’s members became Loyalists in the American Revolution. This dissertation argues that it was the partisanship that they developed during the late 1760s and early 1770s that defined their allegiance.

Este trabalho tem como objetivos facilitar a leitura da obra de Sóror Maria do Céu e contribuir para a divulgação desta escritora barroca, que possui uma vasta produção literária no século XVIII mas que permance grandemente desconhecida nos círculos literários e académicos do presente século. A introdução explora o aspecto da viagem alegórica da alma, representada por personagens de uma narrativa e tendo como protagonista uma personagem feminina -- a Peregrina. Esta embarca numa viagem à procura de uma vida eterna feliz e recompensadora, No entanto durante a sua viagem, depara-se com um conjunto de desafios que precisa ultrapassar para atingir a vida eterna. Apresentamos alguns dados históricos e socioculturais de Portugal no século XVII e XVIII e oferecemos uma pequena biografia da autora, Maria do Céu. Também está incluída uma explicação sucinta sobre o estilo artístico de escolha, ou seja, os elementos literários que constituem esta novela alegórica, assim como um resumo dos catorze capítulos de Enganos do bosque, desenganos do Rio. Durante a análise da obra de Maria do Céu, revelamos as caraterísticas principais dos personagens e consideramos Enganos do bosque, desenganos do Rio juntamente com outras duas obras: Pilgrim's Progress, do escritor inglês John Bunyan e História do Predestinado Peregrino e seu irmão Precito, do escritor português Alexandre de Gusmão. Deste modo expomos as semelhanças e diferenças entre as viagens peregrinas dos protagonistas destas obras e realçamos os objetivos originais da escritora feminina e que são distintos dos autores masculinos: através da personagem Peregrina, Maria do Céu narra o aperfeiçoamento da alma até ao ponto de união mística com o pastor do bosque, ou seja, união da alma com o seu criador, Jesus Cristo. Por fim, antes da edição da novela alegórica de Maria do Céu, oferecemos uma lista de alterações gramaticais efetuadas nesta edição, e que têm como objetivo ajudar o leitor moderno na compreensão desta obra.

Full text
Abstract:
The word 'marijuana' was introduced to Australia by the US Bureau of Narcotics via the Diggers newspaper, Smith's Weekly, in 1938. Marijuana was said to be 'a new drug that maddens victims' and it was sensationally described as an 'evil sex drug'. The resulting tabloid furore saw the plant cannabis sativa banned in Australia, even though cannabis had been a well-known and widely used drug in Australia for many decades. In 1964, a massive infestation of wild cannabis was found growing along a stretch of the Hunter River between Singleton and Maitland in New South Wales. The explosion in Australian marijuana use began there. It was fuelled after 1967 by US soldiers on rest and recreation leave from Vietnam. It was the Baby-Boomer young who were turning on. Pot smoking was overwhelmingly associated with the generation born in the decade after the Second World War. As the conflict over the Vietnam War raged in Australia, it provoked intense generational conflict between the Baby-Boomers and older generations. Just as in the US, pot was adopted by Australian Baby-Boomers as their symbol; and, as in the US, the attack on pot users served as code for an attack on the young, the Left, and the alternative. In 1976, the 'War on Drugs' began in earnest in Australia with paramilitary attacks on the hippie colonies at Cedar Bay in Queensland and Tuntable Falls in New South Wales. It was a time of increasing US style prohibition characterised by 'tough-on-drugs' right-wing rhetoric, police crackdowns, numerous murders, and a marijuana drought followed quickly by a heroin plague; in short by a massive worsening of 'the drug problem'. During this decade, organised crime moved into the pot scene and the price of pot skyrocketed, reaching $450 an ounce in 1988. Thanks to the Americanisation of drugs policy, the black market made 'a killing'. In Marijuana Australiana I argue that the 'War on Drugs' developed -- not for health reasons -- but for reasons of social control; as a domestic counter-revolution against the Whitlamite, Baby-Boomer generation by older Nixonite Drug War warriors like Queensland Premier, Bjelke-Petersen. It was a misuse of drugs policy which greatly worsened drug problems, bringing with it American-style organised crime. As the subtitle suggests, Marijuana Australiana relies significantly on 'alternative' sources, and I trawl the waters of popular culture, looking for songs, posters, comics and underground magazines to produce an 'underground' history of cannabis in Australia. This 'pop' approach is balanced with a hard-edged, quantitative analysis of the size of the marijuana market, the movement of price, and the seizure figures in the section called 'History By Numbers'. As Alfred McCoy notes, we need to understand drugs as commodities. It is only through a detailed understanding of the drug trade that the deeper secrets of this underground world can be revealed. In this section, I present an economic history of the cannabis market and formulate three laws of the market.

Full text
Abstract:
Ce mémoire porte sur trois défilés de mode au cours desquels furent présentées les créations du duo Viktor & Rolf, d'Alexander McQueen et de John Galliano. Il s'agit d'une étude sémiotique du défilé de mode comme « événement », comme présentation spectaculaire dans le sens théâtral du terme. Le concept d'événement est ici de prime importance, car il reconduit l'idée que le défilé est une présentation hors du commun, originale et unique des créations. Cette problématique du défilé comme événement commande une analyse minutieuse et systématisée de tous les aspects de la présentation et de tous les intervenants impliqués dans sa mise en forme, cela en tenant compte que chaque défilé se déroule dans des circonstances spatiales et temporelles spécifiques mais a toujours pour but de créer des atmosphères aptes à séduire un public bien particulier trié sur le volet par les organisateurs. Au chapitre premier, une description formelle de chacun des trois défilés de mode est développée selon trois axes définissant chacune des présentations, soit l'environnement, les vêtements et les mannequins. Ces trois pôles sont développés suivant la chronologie des événements et mettent en lumière les principaux éléments qui seront repris en profondeur au cours des analyses. Le chapitre second présente les théories d'Anne Ubersfeld publiées dans deux de ses ouvrages majeurs Lire le théâtre I et II qui traitent du modèle actantiel développé en regard du théâtre. Ce modèle, fondé sur la théorie sémiotique de Greimas, tient compte des rôles actantiels tenus par le destinateur, le sujet, le destinataire, l'objet, l'adjuvant et l'opposant, et ce sont ces paradigmes qui sont ici retenus dans le but de faire ressortir les interrelations qui se tissent au sein de chacun des défilés de mode selon des circonstances spatio-temporelles spécifiques. Le troisième chapitre, qui est essentiellement celui des analyses de cas, met le modèle actantiel en pratique mais tient également compte de trois aspects particuliers du défilé de mode: le récit, au sens théâtral du terme, les enjeux financiers et les artifices de création. Ces adaptations du modèle actantiel aux cas d'analyse conduisent, dans une certaine mesure, à la construction d'un nouveau gabarit analytique. En conclusion à ce mémoire et relativement à l'aspect séducteur du défilé de mode, ce sont les hypothèses développées par Jean Baudrillard qui servent d'assises théoriques. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Défilé, Mode, Événement, Théâtre, Spectacle, Sémiologie, Viktor & Rolf, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano.

Abstract:
Moja praca doktorska pt. “The Creative Role of Parody in Eighteenth-Century English Literature (Alexander Pope, John Gay, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne)” skupia się na omówieniu doniosłej, twórczej roli parodii w literaturze angielskiej osiemnastego wieku i w tym celu poddaje analizie twórczość czterech autorów żyjących i tworzących w epoce Oświecenia: Alexandra Pope’a, Johna Gaya, Henry Fieldinga i Laurence’a Sterne’a. Praca porusza zagadnienia teoretyczne oraz historycznoliterackie związane z pojęciem parodii, starając się usystematyzować, ale też czasem sproblematyzować, szereg istotnych kwestii metodologicznych i teoretycznych. Poczynione ustalenia wykorzystuję z kolei do bardziej szczegółowych badań, analizując pod kątem kompozycji, retoryki, kontekstu historycznego i kulturowego szereg prześmiewczych, dobitnie parodystycznych tekstów literackich epoki, w tym m. in. Operę Żebraczą Johna Gaya, Duncjadę Alexandra Pope’a, oraz wybrane powieści Henry Fieldinga i Laurence’a Sterne’a.<br>The thesis focuses on the role of parody in the literary works of four English writers of the eighteenth century: John Gay, Alexander Pope, Henry Fielding and Laurence Sterne. These authors were not selected randomly, but rather on the basis of a conviction that parody played a crucial role in their literary output. The major aim of the present dissertation is to analyze how the technique of parody allowed these authors to critically expose and creatively transgress the boundaries of genres and stylistic modes that they appropriated. Their experimental and innovative approach to literary traditions and conventions finds its expression in their playful literary texts. Instead of politely complying with established poetic formulas and protocols, these authors tended to expose the provisional nature of all ready-made genres and stylistic patterns, to mockingly reshape them and infuse their structures with their own peculiar sense of wit and satire. As a result, they produced a number of tricky, duplicitous, internally hybrid, ambiguous and self-reflexive texts that may today seem surprisingly "(post)modernist" given their extended intertextual and metafictional playfulness.

Abstract:
博士<br>國立政治大學<br>歷史研究所<br>98<br>This dissertation discusses China observation in the West after the eighteenth century. Before the eighteenth century, images about China in the West were very different from the real China. Post-modernists argue that in that period the images about China were distorted or even demonized. This dissertation tries to explore the changes of understanding of China through examining images about China in the West. First, to discuss the emerging of the imagination of China in Europe, it discusses Western texts about China, the images on the eighteenth-century China porcelain and exported paintings, as well as the symbols of the “Chinoiserie” style. Secondly, it examines the drawings of William Alexander in the late eighteenth century and the photographs of John Thomson in the nineteenth century. Not only do they represent the shift of media of image recording images but also the change of the understanding of China. In the conclusion, it tries to understand the factors that brought about the changes of China observations in the West.
