Full textThis dissertation presents a documented biography of Wang Xiaolai 王曉籟 (1887- 1967), elite merchant of Republican Shanghai. The study of this hitherto unexplored life contributes to the lean biographical repertoire of notable figures of the era. A native of Shengxian, Zhejiang Province, Wang’s life spanned five decades of momentous social and political change in modern Chinese history, from late Imperial China, through Republican China, to Communist China. The biographical inquiry examines the historical events that influenced his path, and the facets of his life that inspired his aspirations and drove his ambitions. The research traces Wang’s ascent to financial and political prominence, and identifies the major turning points in his life and the bonds he forged with key figures of the era. From a Guangfuhui youth, Wang became a militia merchant of Zhabei. He evolved under the Nationalist Government as an agent of political change, yet remained a powerful and autonomous actor in his community. Wang demonstrated his resolve in his resistance against mounting Japanese aggression. An elite in exile during the war years, Wang traveled China’s interior administering relief aid and supervising supplies through the Burma Road. As a leading Shanghai entrepreneur, chairman of the powerful Shanghai Chamber of Commerce but also first chairman of the Zhabei Chamber of Commerce, leading lay Buddhist, philanthropic builder of the Zhixiang Hospital, spirited painted face of Chinese opera, patron of a huge fortune and patriarch of a huge family, Wang emerges as a man with boundless energy poised at the heart of social, business, and political Shanghai. Western and Chinese archives, newspapers, and local annals are among the primary sources on which the research is based. Oral history has a special place in this undertaking as it was the motivating factor of this endeavor. The final conclusion reveals a multi-faceted portrait of an emblematic and visionary nation-builder of Republican Shanghai, and is as much the trajectory of a singular individual as it is the history of Republican Shanghai
Hedberg, David-Paul Brewster. ""As Long as the Mighty Columbia River Flows"| The Leadership and Legacy of Wilson Charley, a Yakama Indian Fisherman." Thesis, Portland State University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10257445.
Full textOn March 10, 1957, the United States Army Corps of Engineers completed The Dalles Dam and inundated Celilo Falls, the oldest continuously inhabited site in North America and a cultural and economic hub for Indigenous people. In the negotiation of treaties between the United States, nearly one hundred years earlier, Indigenous leaders reserved access to Columbia River fishing sites as they ceded territory and retained smaller reservations. In the years before the dam’s completion, leaders, many of who were the descendants of earlier treaty signatories, attempted to stop the dam and protect both fishing sites from the encroachment of state and federal regulations and archaeological sites from destruction. This study traces the work of Wilson Charley, a Native fisherman, a member of the Yakama Nation’s Tribal Council, and great-grandson of one of the 1855 treaty signatories. More broadly, this study places Indigenous actors on a twentieth-century Columbia River while demonstrating that they played active roles in the protest and management of areas affected by The Dalles Dam.
Using previously untapped archival sources—a substantial cache of letters—my analysis illustrates that Charley articulated multiple strategies to fight The Dalles Dam and regulations to curtail Native’s treaty fishing rights. Aiming to protect the 1855 treaty and stop The Dalles Dam, Charley created Native-centered regulatory agencies. He worked directly with politicians and supported political candidates, like Richard Neuberger, that favored Native concerns. He attempted to build partnerships with archaeologists and landscape preservationists concerned about losing the area’s rich cultural sites. Even after the dam’s completion, he conceptualized multiple tribal economic development plans that would allow for Natives’ cultural and economic survival.
Given the national rise of technological optimism and the willingness for the federal government to terminate its relationship with federally recognized tribes, Charley realized that taking the 1855 treaty to court was too risky for the political climate of the 1950s. Instead, he framed his strategies in the language of twentieth-century conservation, specifically to garner support from a national audience of non-natives interested in protecting landscapes from industrial development. While many of these non-native partners ultimately failed him, his strategies are noteworthy for three reasons. First, he cast the fight to uphold Native treaty rights in terms that were relevant to non-natives, demonstrating his complex understanding of the times in which he lived. Second, his strategies continued an ongoing struggle for Natives to fish at their treaty-protected sites, thereby documenting an overlooked period between the fishing rights cases of the turn of the twentieth century and the 1960s and 1970s. Charley left a lasting legacy that scholars have not recognized because many of his visionary ideas came to fruition decades later. Finally, my analysis of Charley’s letters also documents personal details that afford readers the unique perspective of one Indigenous person navigated through a tumultuous period in the Pacific Northwest and Native American history.

Full textThis research studies the biographical strategies and narratives that are developed in an electoral context. After a comprehensive bibliographic review, we proposed an original typology of biographical narratives: i) origins and early years; ii) traumatic memories; iii) curriculum vitae; iv) family and love life; v) lifestyle. To verify its utility, we studied the presidential campaigns of Argentina 2015 and Ecuador 2017, specifically, the biographical strategies deployed by Mauricio Macri, Daniel Scioli, Lenín Moreno and Guillermo Lasso. The research is complemented by an analysis of the candidates' entries on Wikipedia, which is the main source of biographical consultation, and of the content published on Instagram , which is, of all social networks, the one that usually reveals the biggest details of politicians' intimacy. Regarding methodology, we used a combination of techniques of Discourse Analysis, quantitative and qualitative content analysis, and in-depth interviews with spin doctors. The thesis contributes to the research and professional practice of political communication with an analysis model and a practical protocol for the inclusion of biographical strategies in electoral campaigns.

Full textCorruption is a social problem that has been widely debated in recent years, both in social sciences and the media. Most of the academic literature analyzes from a macro-social perspective the harmful effects of corruption on democracy and the economy. On the contrary, the present study analyzes corruption from a micro-social perspective, which recuperates the meanings constructed by social agents, the type of social relations ingrained in corrupt practices and the consequences of this phenomena for people's lives. The aim of the study is to analyze the corrupt practices affecting the lives of residents of a working class neighborhood of the Northern Gran Buenos Aires. We study these practices from people's perspectives. We mainly took into account the influence of their biographic experiences and their class affiliation in the way they understand corruption. Corruption is analyzed as part of asymmetric social relations of domination-subordination. In this context, we study weedy micro-resistances of workers, which could be understood as micro class fights oriented to create autonomous social organizations. The methodological strategy consists on a multi-method approach. We carried out 30 semi--structured interviews to urban working class people and key informants. At the same time, we performed a participant observation during two years, which was complemented with documents, photos, and statistical data
