Kelley, Ariel Leticia. "Fire Eater in the Borderlands: The Political Life of Guy Morrison Bryan, 1847-1891." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1707409/.
Full textAbstract:
From 1847 to 1891, Guy Morrison Bryan was a prominent Texas politician who influenced many of the policies and events that shaped the state. Raised in his Uncle Stephen F. Austin's shadow, he was a Texas nationalist who felt responsible for promoting the interests of his state, its earliest settlers, and his family. During his nineteen years in the Texas Legislature and two years in the United States House of Representatives, he safeguarded land grants, supported internal improvements and education, and challenged northern hostility towards slavery. Convinced that abolitionists would stop at nothing to destroy the institution and Texas, he led his state's walkout of the National Democratic Convention in 1860 and became a leading proponet of secession. During the Civil War, he served as a staff officer, and his ability to mediate conflicts between local and national leaders propped up the isolated Confederate Trans-Mississippi Department. Finally as Speaker of the House, he helped oust Governor Edmund J. Davis in 1874 and "redeem" the state from Republican rule before convincing President Rutherford B. Hayes to adopt a conciliatory policy towards Texas and the South. Despite the tremendous influence Bryan wielded, scholars have largely ignored his contributions. This dissertation establishes his significance, uses his willingness to transfer national allegiances to consider nationalism--whether Texan, American, or Confederate--in the United States-Mexico Borderlands, and sheds light on neglected subjects like the role of staff officers in the Civil War.

Search the library catalog for the location and call number.<br>Transition services for youth with disabilities are mandated by IDEA. Transition services are supported services that help individuals with disabilities move from special education in high school to employment, post-secondary education or vocational training in the adult world. Outcomes for youth with disabilities vary depending on culture, ethnicity, race, gender and socioeconomic status. Latino youth with disabilities experience poorer post-school outcomes than do white youth with disabilities. This study seeks to identify and describe the transition needs of youth with disabilities from Latino backgrounds who are transitioning from school to adulthood and therefore engaging in employment, post-secondary education or employment-related training. Through focus groups with Latino youth, their families, and the staff that serve them, I explored and identified the specific needs of this group with regards to receiving transition services. The findings of this study will guide the development of training for transition professionals in Oregon and will be disseminated to professionals in the field of transition across the country and around the world.<br>Committee in charge: Michael Bullis, Chairperson, Special Education and Clinical Sciences;

Full textAbstract:
Since September 11, 2001 the U.S. Border Patrol has grown from 9,821 to 20,273 agents, more than doubling in size and in the process becoming the largest federal law enforcement agency in the United States. This dissertation queries the everyday geographies of the agency's practices; the ways that these geographies intersect with and affect circuits and practices of human migration; how the Border Patrol conceptualizes "threat" and maps this onto people and territory they may then police; the environmental conditions that limit or constrain the everyday reach and efficacy of Border Patrol operations in the remote Arizona desert; the discourses, anxieties and everyday conditions of encounter in rural border regions that drive some residents to call for an even greater increase in border policing; and finally, social movements in the City of Tucson, AZ that have sought to combat, resist and undermine immigration policing through the fabric of everyday life. The dissertation draws from two years of fieldwork in southern Arizona and southeast Michigan examining the complex interactions between residents, civil society actors and law enforcement personnel. Research methods included archival research; semi-structured interviews; and ethnographic observation alongside non-governmental organizations, non-status immigrants and at Homeland Security trade events. The research contributes to geographic literatures on security, migration and border policing in the United States, applying posthumanist theory and feminist methodologies to unpack how material conditions of encounter shape state security practice, how this security practice in turn affects people's everyday conditions of social reproduction, and how these everyday conditions of social reproduction may in turn shape or compel social movement practices that contest these outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores borderlands as a function of the imposition of the post-colonial state upon primary structures of identity, polity and social organisation which may be sub-state, national or trans-state in nature. This imposition, particularly in the postcolonial experience of Asia, manifests itself in incongruence between identities of nation and state, between authority and legitimacy, and between beliefs and systems, each of which is most acutely demonstrated in the dynamic borderlands where the competition for influence between non-state and state centres of political gravity is played out. The instability in borderlands is a product of the re-territorialisation of pre-state primary structures, and the state's efforts in accommodating, assimilating or suppressing these structures through a combination of militarisation, providing opportunities for greater political enfranchisement, and the structure of trans-borderland economic flows. The Pashtun tribes of the Afghan borderland between Pakistan and Afghanistan are exhibiting a resurgence of autonomy from the state, as part of the re-territorialisation of the primary substructure of Pakhtunkhwa that underlies southern Afghanistan and north-western Pakistan. This phenomenon is localised, tribally driven, and replicated across the entirety of Pakhtunkhwa. It is a product of the pashtunwali mandated autonomy of zai from which every kor, killi and khel derives its security, and through the protection of which each is able to raise its nang, and is able to realise its position within the larger clan or tribe. Other examples of competition between postcolonial states and primary structures are the Kurdish experience in south-eastern Turkey and the experience of the Arab state. While manifesting significant peculiarities, all three cases - the Kurds, the Arabs and the Pashtuns - demonstrate that the current configuration of the postcolonial state system in Asia is a fragile construction, imposed upon enduring, pre-state primary structures which are resurgent through competition with the state.

Full textAbstract:
For several years I have photographed primary hardwood forests along the imaginary line of the equator to communicate, persuade and warn of the continued ecological destruction that is occurring along this line. My plan was to capture arcadian visions of equatorial hardwood primary forests before they are destroyed and to show how this arcadian vision is disrupted by a more dystopian one. The images in this project were photographed in three areas that circle the equator: Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, where over half the world's rainforests are concentrated, and which I visited to follow the line. Line is an attempt to understand the current pressures on the equatorial environment and create a photographic exploration of ecology that highlights and foregrounds land, space, territories, boundaries and power. For this, myfield of study and research considers ecology through the theory and lens of photography.

Full textAbstract:
As intolerance against Mexican Americans and Mexican migrants persists in the United States-- apparent in the passage of Arizona State Bill 1070, Arizona House Bill 2281, and multiple English-only laws-- Chicanas and Mexicanas continue to resist by sustaining relationships and knowledge through storytelling. This dissertation employs a floating borderlands framework to explore how Chicanas and Mexicanas in the United States-Mexico borderlands use storytelling in oral and written traditions to keep cultural and regional knowledge. Floating borderlands is an interdisciplinary framework that reveals survivance, that is, survival as an act of resistance, through cultural maintenance, agency, and creativity in lived experiences. Drawing upon concepts and research from disciplines that include Mexican American Studies, American Indian Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, and Education, floating borderlands reveals how storytelling helps Chicanas and Mexicanas maintain an understanding of home and homelands that facilitates resistance to obstacles such as racial and gender discrimination and challenges to their right to be in these spaces. This dissertation acknowledges multiple forms of knowledge keeping by Chicanas and Mexicanas throughout the last two centuries; recognizes intersectionality; and complicates or creates multiple layers in narratives of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. This project is directly informed by narratives of Chicana and Mexicana life in the borderlands. It centers oral and written traditions, including my original poetry. Key words: Chicanas, Mexicanas, border, borderlands, floating borderlands, survivance, oral traditions, written traditions, home, homelands, migration, identity, cultural maintenance, poetry, story.

Previous issue date: 2016<br>Abstract : This dissertation explores narratives of men who have sex with men (MSM) as spaces for the negotiation of conflicting meanings and for the reproduction of ways of experiencing masculinity and sexuality. From a queer linguistics approach, which combines critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1992) with insights from materialist queer theory (Floyd, 2009), the research investigates the construction of male identities and the recontextualization of certain social practices related to sexuality (such as ?coming out?) in the life narratives produced by MSM. In order to achieve these objectives, five narrative interviews conducted with MSM in Florianopolis-SC were analyzed thoroughly with the aid of analytical categories proposed by van Leeuwen (2008) for the representation of social actors and their actions. In terms of discursive practice, the analysis demonstrated that the overall context of the telling and the degree of affiliation (Stivers, 2008) between the researcher and interviewees towards the narrated event determined the narrative length, structure and the degree of access of the interviewer to the narratives. In terms of social practice, the analysis showed that MSM produce either narratives of heteromasculinity in which they perform specific ideals of masculinity of the Brazilian culture or narratives of homomasculinity in which they perform as ?normal? gay men and oppose their selves to the pathological figure of ?bicha louca? (crazy faggot?). Furthermore, the analysis indicates that those performances are accompanied by a process of reification of same-sex desire in discourse and the reproduction of a neoliberal ideology characterized by freedom and individual responsibility. Overall, the study reveals the pervasiveness of the closet as a social structure in Brazil and suggests the need to queer the institutions, which depends on economic justice brought by social programs that empower working class queers.<br><br>Esta tese explora as narrativas de homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) como espaços para a negociação de significados em conflito e para a reprodução de formas de experienciar a masculinidade e a sexualidade. A partir de uma abordagem de linguística queer, que combina a análise crítica do discurso (Fairclough, 1992) com ideias da teoria queer materialista (Floyd, 2009), a pesquisa investiga a construção de identidades masculinas e a recontextualização de certas práticas sociais relacionadas à sexualidade (tais como sair do armário ) nas narrativas de vida produzidas por HSH. De forma a atingir esses objetivos, foram analisadas intensivamente cinco entrevistas narrativas conduzidas com HSH em Florianópolis-SC com o auxílio de categorias de análise propostas por van Leeuwen (2008). Em termos da prática discursiva, a análise demonstrou que o contexto da fala como um todo e o grau de afiliação (Stivers, 2008) entre o pesquisador e os informantes com relação ao evento narrado determinaram a extensão da narrativa, a estrutura e o grau de acesso do entrevistador às narrativas. Em termos da prática social, a análise mostrou que HSH produzem tanto narrativas de heteromasculinidade, nas quais eles performam ideais de masculinidade específicos da cultura brasileira, quanto narrativas de homomasculinidade, nas quais eles performam como homens gays normais e se opõem à figura patológica da bicha louca . Além disso, a análise indica que essas performances são acompanhadas por um processo de reificação do desejo pelo mesmo sexo no discurso e justificadas por uma ideologia neoliberal caracterizada pelo direito à liberdade e responsabilidade individual. De modo geral, o estudo revela o papel do armário como uma estrutura social generalizada no Brasil e sugere a necessidade de subverter as instituições sociais, o que depende de uma justiça econômica resultante de programas sociais que empoderem pessoas queer das classes trabalhadoras.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the history of the Honde Valley area, in Mutasa District, along the Zimbabwe-Mozambique border. It uses two historic developments: the Zimbabwe liberation war and RENAMO insurgency to explore daily life and mundane experiences of the borderland communities, mainly from the late 1970s to 2016. Because earlier historians of these two historic developments have been much interested in studying the aspects of violence and suffering, this study extends the focus of analysis to the mundane experiences. I argue that in borderland areas, there are other wartime aspects of life worth investigating other than violence and suffering. In doing so, the thesis deploys the notions of conviviality and the everyday to understand the daily experiences of the Honde Valley communities during the disruptions caused to everyday life by these wars. Admittedly, twentieth century wars in Zimbabwe and Mozambique transformed the area that had previously remained at the fringes of colonial power from 1890-1950, into a new and bitterly contested ‘sharp end’ of the war. Nonetheless, peoples’ experiences during these wars cannot be understood merely in relation to violence and suffering. Furthermore, I argue that although some families were forcibly moved into liberation war “Protected Villages ”, they innovatively designed new mechanisms and alternative lifestyles in response to the state’s routinised control. The thesis concludes that beyond the confines of war-induced violence and suffering, Honde Valley communities used their borderland location to evade the pressures of war and continued with life.

Full textAbstract:
The Chicana/o borderlands have generated their own barroquismo which, having thrived on the fruits of a colonial Mexican heritage, intensified within the unique cultural climate of the Southwest US. As second-class citizens, Mexican-Americans have been excluded from the metanarratives of the nation. However, this position as outsiders has granted them a unique vantage point from which to see a multifaceted and contradictory reality. Living in the socio-cultural margins, a certain way of thinking emerged which allowed for contradictions, ambiguity, and plurality: essentially, a baroque way of thinking. This particular consciousness combined with a colonial baroque cultural foundation produced rasquachismo, a sensibility which mirrors the baroque in many ways. Operating on a constant interrelating of the baroque with Chicana/o thought and aesthetics, this dissertation will create points of suture so that the two may inform and enrich each other. All the works treated in this dissertation participate thoroughly in rasquache baroque sensibilities, citing baroque history and summoning the ghosts of the colonial past while generating inclusive structures, impure hybridities and juxtapositions, flamboyance, excess, bold transformations, and critical humour for the purpose of negotiating an adverse and complex reality and for culturally arming oneself against hegemony, in an attempt to ensure cultural survival and resistance. The first chapter, "Ana Castillo's Xicanista Baroque: Allegory, Hagiography, and the Supernatural in So Far from God," explores how this novel continues the colonial baroque traditions of allegory, hagiography, and miracles. The second chapter, "Robo-baroque: The Performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his Pocha Nostra," investigates the colonial baroque legacy which saturates the performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his performance group, La Pocha Nostra. This legacy is demonstrated by a layering of baroque conventions—allegory, hagiography, and the wünderkammer—, as well as by an intensely baroque spatial and temporal ordering which harnesses the powers of decentralization, pluralism, coextensive space, and seriality. The third chapter, "Amalia Mesa-Bains's Domesticana Baroque," looks at the installation works of Amalia Mesa-Bains, investigating how these installations use the conventions of the wünderkammer and vanitas along with the concepts of the mirror and the fold to speak of baroque knowledge systems, female and non-Western identities, and feminine interior spaces. Finally, the conclusion relates the works studied in this thesis and elaborates on the benefits of Chicana/o baroque thought.<br>Les frontières chicanas ont généré leurs propres barroquismos qui, ayant fait pousser les fruits de l'héritage colonial mexicain, se sont intensifiés dans le climat culturel unique du sud-ouest des États-Unis. En tant que citoyens de seconde classe, les Mexico-Américains ont été exclus des méta-récits de la nation. Cependant, cette position extérieure leur a accordé un point de vue unique, d'où l'on pouvait percevoir une réalité multiforme et contradictoire. De l'habitation des marges socio-culturelles, une certaine façon de penser a émergé, permettant la coexistence de contradictions, l'ambiguïté et la pluralité: une manière de penser essentiellement baroque. Cette thèse se base sur une constante interrelation du baroque avec la pensée et l'esthétique chicanas, créant des points de suture entre ces derniers de manière à ce qu'ils puissent s'éclairer et s'enrichir mutuellement.Toutes les œuvres traitées dans cette thèse participent profondément aux sensibilités baroque-rasquaches, en citant l'histoire baroque et en évoquant les fantômes du passé colonial tout en générant des structures inclusives, des hybridités impures et des juxtapositions, de la flamboyance, de l'excès, des transformations audacieuses, et un humour critique afin de négocier les termes d'une réalité complexe et défavorable et de s'armer culturellement contre l'hégémonie de manière à assurer la survie culturelle et la résistance.Le premier chapitre, "Ana Castillo's Xicanista Baroque: Allegory, Hagiography, and the Supernatural in So Far from God," explore la manière dont ce roman poursuit les traditions baroques coloniales de l'allégorie, de l'hagiographie, et des miracles. Le deuxième chapitre, "Robo-baroque: The Performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his Pocha Nostra," examine les legs colonial-baroques qui saturent les performances de Guillermo Gómez-Peña et de son groupe de performance, La Pocha Nostra. Ce legs se traduit par une superposition de conventions baroques —l'allégorie, l'hagiographie, et le wünderkammer— ainsi que par une organisation spatiale et temporelle intensément baroque, qui exploite les pouvoirs de la décentralisation, du pluralisme, de l'espace coextensif et de la sérialité. Le troisième chapitre, "Amalia Mesa-Bains's Domesticana Baroque," se penche sur les œuvres d'installation d'Amalia Mesa-Bains, enquêtant sur la manière dont ces installations utilisent des conventions du wünderkammer et du vanitas, à travers les concepts du miroir et du pli, afin de parler des systèmes de connaissances baroques, des identités féminines non-occidentales et des espaces intérieurs féminins. Finalement, la conclusion relie les œuvres étudiées dans la thèse et explique les avantages de la pensée chicana-baroque.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2004.<br>Pages 83-85 blank.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 80-81).<br>The proposal seeks to develop and foster new understandings of this border through using built form as a vehicle for re-orienting, disorienting our physical and psychological understandings of borders. The physical intervention creates a release from the current condition which the fence embodies, that of separation, and contradiction. Through transgressing the fence physically and programmatically, one is temporarily freed of this tension, thereby accessing the fence through a different perspective. The resulting transgression is a new territory, perhaps a hybrid of the two. The building choreographs one's movement across the changes in the landscape, thereby revealing of the multiple readings of the fence. At points the boundary seemingly disappears, where at other times one is confronted with the wall as an artifact, a ruin that dominates the landscape. A point of passage is created through excavating underneath the fence; an artificial landscape is carved away in reference to the existing valleys, which already cut across the border. The fence becomes suspended, revealing the irony and frailty of its construction both literally and symbolically. Performance as program creates a venue for the transgression, which takes place. It is an instrument to allow for a alternate dialogue between the two countries. "The border wall has no architectural program, yet it generates intense activity. Crudely built, it is loaded with complex symbolism, more construct than construction... [and] reveals the power of an abstraction to create human environments.

This thesis proposes that by producing and existing within a translingual text, the ethnofeminist has found a way to subvert others' construction of her and redefine her identity. In particular, the ethnofeminist uses code switching to select and reinvent meaning from the language system of the dominant culture while maintaining the language system of the "marginal" group. In combining two (or more) language systems within a literature she has created her own language.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines two main problems: (1) the identity of beings with moral standing and (2) the adjudication of conflicts arising between beings with moral standing. Solving (1) provides a vehicle for treating (2). Various features of beings identify them as having different kinds of moral standing. These varieties of standing correspond to varying degrees of moral value, establishing a hierarchy of moral priority. Conflicts between beings with moral standing are then adjudicated in favor of the party to the conflict who has the most or weightiest moral value. Moral agents have the weightiest moral value in virtue of their cognitive and affective capacities. Nonhuman mammalian species have a lesser degree of moral value since they lack the cognitive capacities of agents but share their affective capacities. Birds, reptiles, and fish have even less moral value because they have only sentience. Finally, the weakest degree of moral value is had by nonconscious beings, notably plants, which have only a good-of-their-own. Natural objects and artifacts have no moral value at all since they have no cognitive or affective capacities, and no good-of-their-own. Even though moral agents are more valuable from the moral point of view than any other being with moral standing, this does not mean that the interests or good of agents always take precedence over the interests or good of other, nonhuman beings. It is only on those occasions where the basic welfare interests of agents are at stake that a conflict between human and nonhuman beings is resolved in favor of moral agents. In situations where the welfare interests of agents are not at stake--though other non-basic interests may be--while the welfare interests or basic good of nonhumans are at stake, the conflict is adjudicated in favor of the nonhumans.

Cassidy, Kathryn Louise. "The informal economies of the Ukrainian-Romanian borderlands." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2013. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/4253/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to explore the informal economies of post socialism as they are practiced in two rural communities on either side of the Ukrainian-Romanian border, which are now dependent on migrant worker remittances, cross-border small trading and consumption and a wide range of non-market economic practices for not only daily but also long-term survival or social reproduction. As informal economic practices have been sustained and even proliferated in the region, the thesis responds to a need to understand how local communities produce, embed and give meaning to these everyday, routinised practices in the borderlands. The thesis therefore addresses two key questions: How are informal economies in the Ukrainian-Romanian borderlands practiced?; How do communities construct and embed meanings for these practices? The themes of language, citizenship, gender and marriage enable us to understand the processes through which the practices are discursively and performatively given meaning.

Full textAbstract:
Latinas represent a large proportion of the United States early care and education workforce, and thus have the potential to wield significant influence over the growth and development of millions of American children. However, the voices of Latina early childhood professionals often are missing in both research and mass media. Instead, social, political, and academic frames cast Latinas as foreign regardless of nationality, uneducated notwithstanding expertise, and passive despite action and influence. This testimonio analysis draws on Chicana feminist epistemology to re-center the perspectives of Latina child care providers and reveal more authentic insights on how they understand and perform their roles within the broader social contexts that define and delimit Latina identity in the United States. The collective account that emerges from their testimonios is one of straddling multiple borders: between influence and invisibility, between the personal and the professional, and between community and isolation.

Full textAbstract:
This study is dedicated to examine the concept of borders, geographical and otherwise, as instruments that are socially produced. It utilizes Gloria Anzalduaâ s theoretical framework of Borderlands theory as a set of processes that seek to attain the de-colonization of the inner self. The historical and spatial dynamics of the geographical border between Mexico and United States, largely shaped by the U.S. expansionist agenda, resulted in the Mexican lost of more than half of its territory and the subsequent stigmatization of Mexican-Americans/Chicanos as â foreign others,â since they did not share with predominant Anglo-Saxons the same values, culture, religion, traditions and skin color. I argue that the later exploitation, exclusion, marginalization, and racism against Mexican-Americans/Chicanos informed Anzalduaâ s development of her Borderlands theory that seeks to attain liberation for any colonized identity. However, it is also my argument that the borderlands theory fails to account for meaningful political freedom since the processes that compose the theory are principally worked at the inner level, restricting the possibilities for a direct confrontation in the public sphere.<br>Master of Arts

This is an introduction for the thematic issue, "Print Culture in Croatia," at: http://www.hkdrustvo.hr/datoteke/162<br>This theoretical paper explores the theme of periphery and the borderlands and outlines the program for a new and transnational approach to the study of book culture in Croatia. Starting with a problem of fragmentation of Central European book histories, the essay argues how this could be turned into an opportunity to apply comprehensive and comparative approaches, using cultural area and comparing isomorphism of documentary practices rather than following the commonly used linguistic criteria (the national vernacular). European identity has been central to the Croatian construction of identity, and this can provide a broader framework for resolving the problem of how to construct a national history that acknowledges its status as boundary culture. If the European periphery is to claim its own cultural discourse, this will have to be through the controversial, ideological, and difficult task of cultural revision in which it will have to ex-territorialize itself and abandon a dream in which the national vernacular assumes a major function in language and society. This will not be possible without understanding the borderlands and an acceptance of its unique role in which dualities need to be accepted as an epistemology for boundary histories to assume significance within the dominant discourses of culture. In the dualities and multiplicities of the borderlands there arise counter-hegemonic interpretations, and the periphery can be validated by revealing the patterns of the center, connection to other traditions, and its own uniqueness at the same time. The thematic program for the study of Croatian print culture as boundary cultures is outlined as well.

Full textAbstract:
The constitutional status of the Irish border continues to dominate the British-Irish political agenda. Established in 1921, the border separates the contested area of Northern Ireland from the Republic of Ireland. While the territorial and political partition of the island has undergone significant analysis, the impact of the border on the lives of those living in its immediate vicinity has not attracted similar investigation. This thesis seeks to redress this imbalance, examining everyday life in the Irish borderlands from 1920 to c.1950. The macro-politics of separation serve as a backdrop for the study, which documents how the border, as a direct consequence of partition, impacted upon local life. The empirical narrative presented is constructed from official archival sources, ethnographic material and newspapers. The era under investigation commences in 1920, when the Government of Ireland Act, which divided Ireland into two territories, was passed, and by concluding around 1950, three decades of the history of partition which are seldom documented are encompassed. During this time the permeability of the border fluctuated both along its length and through time, as locals not only struggled to overcome the complexities and ambiguities which partition had created but, in addition, learned to exploit the opportunities it presented. Central to this study is the banality of everyday life, focusing on how routine was performed in the borderlands. As a consequence of partition the boundary separated the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland from the Irish Free State and also demarcated the British state from its Irish counterpart, and served as both a political and fiscal barrier. This dual role added to the complexity of the border and the practical implications of living with it, in such realms as transportation, postal services and militarisation to name but a few, which this thesis concentrates upon.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis represents the first detailed study of the evolution of a medieval county border in south-midland England. It explores when and how the border between Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire might have been drawn and considers the impact it had on the societies located on either side. The findings are then related to Phythian-Adams’ idea of cultural provinces and his proposal of defining their boundaries by reference to culturally imposed county borders. Evidence from documents, archaeology, place-names and the landscape is used to suggest how both counties evolved from earlier Anglo-Saxon schemes of territorial organisation and how they developed as social, political and jurisdictional units in the period before the mid-fourteenth century. Counties were not the only possible foci for social cohesion, however, and the boundaries of other institutions - honours, religious houses and the church – are investigated to establish their relationship to those of the shires. The influence of the county border on the society and economy of the surrounding area is studied through a wide range of primary and secondary records which help shed light on the behaviour and mentality of border people. Numerical and statistical methods are frequently employed in analysing the data and results are presented making extensive use of maps of the border area. The accumulated evidence suggests that the eastern and western parts of the border evolved at different times and in different ways and, subsequently, had materially differing impacts on their localities. It is further concluded that, before c.1350, the findings are not wholly consistent either with the cultural provinces proposed, or with their detailed delimitation by the current county boundary. The precise reasons for those conclusions differ in respect of each side of the border but, ultimately arise from the varying speeds at which peripheral areas became fully integrated into the counties.

This ethnographic account focuses on the conceptions and practices of movement, as narrated by the Makushi people who live along the triple frontier of southern Guyana. The journeys - individual experiences, in particular of women – depict visits to other Makushi communities, to their neighbours and cities in Guyana, Brazil and Venezuela. The travelogues disclose Makushi premises on knowledge and its acquisition: gender, age, temporality and alterity. Exploring these concepts in practice, the ethnography points out the value the Makushi attribute to their encounters with others, situations in which risk and unpredictability are creatively incorporated as part of their sociality.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyzes the fiction of South African author Zoë Wicomb (1948- ) through her two collections of short stories: You Can’t Get Lost in Cape Town (1987) and The One that Got Away (2008) and two novels: David’s Story (2000) and Playing in the Light (2006). Using an interdisciplinary approach, the concept of deraciNation, which is the uprooting and discrimination of peoples as a way to uphold the notion of Nation, and an adaptation of Gloria Anzaldúa’s borderland theory in an investigation of the coloured community in its construction as an intermediary group between black and white and its locations in the margins of society, this dissertation investigates how discrimination has not only played a role in the construction and representation of coloured identities, but also how it was adopted and incorporated within the community. Wicomb calls attention to oppression in both external and internal forms, exemplifying the failures of the struggle against apartheid and the self-contradictions that can also be violent. Specifically, this dissertation analyzes the spaces of home, neighborhood and nation, which were locations of deracination through external forces of imperialism and colonialism. Moreover, it examines oppression, which has led to these spaces being gendered and racialized, has persisted in coloured identities in post-apartheid South Africa and transnationally into Europe, two areas in which Wicomb’s fictional writings take place as sites of both home and displacement. Furthermore, this dissertation scrutinizes the notion of truth, through an examination of violence, memory and his/herstories as a way of bringing lesser-known stories to the light.<br>Utilizando un enfoque interdisciplinario, esta tesis analiza la ficción de Zoe Wicomb, autora sudafricana (1948- ), a través de dos colecciones de relatos: You Can’t Get Lost in Cape Town (1987) y The One that Got Away (2008) y dos novelas: David’s Story (2000) y Playing in the Light. En la tesis hemos utilizado el concepto de deraciNation, o desarraigo y discriminación de los pueblos para apoyar la noción de Nación, y una adaptación de la teoría del borderland de Gloria Anzaldúa para la investigación de la comunidad coloured (mestiza) en su construcción como un grupo intermediario entre los blancos y los negros. Esta tesis examina cómo la discriminación ayudó la construcción y representación de las identidades coloured, pero también de que forma se empleaba dicha discriminación dentro la misma comunidad. Wicomb llama nuestra atención hacia la opresión tanto fuera como dentro de la comunidad, demostrando así los fracasos en la lucha contra el apartheid. Además, esta investigación analiza los espacios de hogar, barrio y nación, lugares de desarraigo como producto del imperialismo y del colonialismo. Y finalmente, en este trabajo se examina la opresión, que aun perdura en las identidades "coloured" en Suráfrica tras el apartheid y que ha llegado hasta Europa.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines society in the marches between England and Scotland, and engages with the historical debate over the significance of this frontier in the late medieval and early modern British Isles. This is the first study to consider both sides of the border across nearly the entire fifteenth century, and to focus on the means by which local inhabitants sought to manage conflict and process disputes in the context of – and in extension beyond – the mechanisms of regional, national, and international governmental administration. I argue that elements of a raiding culture existed in the region from the very beginning of this period and equally that something like the infamous ‘Surname’ kin groups of the Tudor period can be detected on both sides of the border before 1488. Kinship was highly valued across the region, at both the elite and non-elite status levels. Although the borderlands can in part be understood as a frontier society, what counted in shaping this society was not primarily the military frontier, but cross-border cultural similarities. I argue that the centre of gravity of this region was to be found north of the border, especially with respect to the rules used in the management of conflict. The prevalence of a ‘Scottish’ approach to local conflict meant that law courts were often used in the course of disputes, but that accustomed practices of violence and peacemaking had a prominence and meaning that was not typical of England further south. This thesis demonstrates the ability of local societies within the late medieval British Isles, especially those on its sometimes turbulent internal frontiers, to adapt social, political, and legal structures to meet their particular needs and objectives.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the lives of those whose experience as ordained ministers, psychological therapists or adult educators leaves them feeling marginal within their respective professions. The Introduction recounts an epiphanic experience in the researcher’s praxis which made him question received professional wisdom. Chapter One traces the labyrinthine contours of qualitative research and expounds a model of contemplative inquiry derived from the account of the disciples at the Easter tomb (John 20) and introduces autoethnography and creative arts research as the key research methods. Chapter Two places border discourse in historical context and expounds Gloria Anzaldúa’s notion of ‘borderlands’ as the conceptual basis of the study. Five short autobiographical pieces form the basis of Chapter Three and serve to personally locate the author within the Borderlands. Chapter Four widens the exploration from ‘auto’ to ‘inter-ethnography’ and, in a series of eight ‘ink polaroids’, introduces those who participated in the study before presenting them in their own voice in a medium adapted from Carol Gilligan’s work on I-Poems. Chapter Five identifies the recurring themes of identity, spirituality, therapy, pedagogy and kinship and records what Borderland participants would like to say to their mainstream counterparts. The penultimate chapter playfully adopts Dwight Conquergood’s concept of the researcher as co-performative witness and presents data analysis in a musical composition for two pianos with narrative commentary. The final chapter outlines Anzaldúa’s neglected spiritual teaching and plots the coordinates of borderland grace. The study concludes that Borderlanders are not misfits but people who occupy a distinct vocational stance in the world. As a piece of creative art, this genre-challenging work transgresses conventional borders between academic analysis and lived experience, scholarly knowledge and embodied wisdom, audience as passive observer and as active participant. As a contribution to professional praxis, it traces the journey of nine practitioners from silence to speech, discouragement to empowerment, isolation to kinship. In fostering greater integration and wellbeing among the practitioners involved, it contributes to improved levels of spiritual, therapeutic and educational care for those with whom they work.

Full textAbstract:
This research is concerned with the complexity of the current spatial constitution in general and that of urban spaces in particular, and as such explores ways to analyse this constitution. Enquiring about the spatial source of urban change, the study is about the coming-together of different spaces, working with progressive notions of borders. A secondary interest considers the potential of such enquiry for more inclusive and just processes in urban change. The theoretical frame for the study uses Doreen Massey's conception of space as relational, multiple and open, and my interpretation of the concept of borderland, which I claim operationalises Massey's approach. This framework recognises the role of various near and far spaces in urban change and suggests that more 'border-situations', conceptually extended into urban spaces, potentially foster more inclusive and just urban change. Building on a comparative approach, 'contextualisation', as the methodological framework, analyses urban spaces and their ongoing change through the lens of relational, multiple and open space and borderland, instead of treating urban spaces as discrete spatial entities. Empirically, the research is situated in Amman, Jordan and Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel, in a region where borders are both fiercely contested and seemingly unalterable at the same time. Historically a region of overlaps and heterogeneity, where people, religions, goods and 'cultures' came together, the relatively young cities are as internationally interdependent and interwoven as others. Whilst the two cities aspire towards 'global' or 'world' city status, contradictory policies of homogenisation and isolation are found at the state level. Related to other scales, urban change policies and implemented projects perpetuate socio-economic exclusivity and injustice. The research suggests the balance of power in urban change processes manifests in 'bordering' mechanisms that unfold in a space between entities - the borderland.

Mazar, Jessie. "Resistance and Resilience: Latinx Migrant Farmworkers in the Northern Borderlands." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2016. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/649.
Full textAbstract:
Vermont prides itself on being a national role model in developing innovative models for community-supported, ecologically responsible agricultural practices. However, Vermont's largest sector of agriculture, the dairy industry, has increasingly relied on Latinx* migrant farm laborers who face significant challenges. Due to a lack of a year-round agricultural visa program, most farmworkers on Vermont's dairy farms are unable to receive proper documentation. This circumstance has a significant impact on migrant workers, particularly those living and working closer to the border, as those areas fall within federal jurisdiction of US immigration enforcement. In these borderlands, surveillance is intensified and so the pressure to be invisible is heightened. The current availability of agricultural visas is limited to seasonal migrant farmworkers, and because dairy is year-round work, farmworkers in the dairy industry are barred from accessing proper documentation. Increased patrolling along the northern border results in extreme isolation, fear, and the inability to access basic human rights. For migrant workers on Vermont's dairy farms, just taking a trip to the grocery store is to risk deportation.
This thesis examines systemic barriers, complex relationships, and resilient responses of Vermont's farmworkers, drawing upon applied, mixed methods. The first article uses ethnography to examine food access and food sovereignty through Huertas, an applied garden project in northern VT. The second article analyzes the methodologies connected to El Viaje Más Caro/The Most Costly Journey, an applied cartooning project that shares farmworker stories with other migrant farmworkers as a tool to break cycles of isolation and relieve psychological distress. Both projects illustrate resilient responses to the barriers associated with being undocumented along the Northern border.
While the thesis is based on research conducted in Vermont, the significance is broader in scope, and representative of national and international trends. The food system is built upon those who are continually stripped of and denied rights. While this is about Vermont, it is not only about Vermont: these stories are symptomatic of a larger structural violence. This thesis situates itself in a multi-scalar context-Vermont, the US, international- in which the stories conveyed are indicative of political and economic systemic obstacles, and the potential for human creativity to subvert and respond to systems of oppression.
*I use the term "Latinx" throughout my thesis because it is a gender-neutral alternative to Latino, Latina and even Latin@. It is pronounced "La-teen-ex". This is a term that has been introduced by the trans/queer community, but is increasingly being adopted by scholars, activists, journalists, and social media. (Ramirez & Blay, 2016)

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes that a genuine European identity may emerge in the eastern borderlands of the European Union. This perspective is based on two lines of thought: <I>first</I>, with the increasing challenges the European Union is currently facing, such as demands for regionalisation and EU enlargement towards the East, the progressive development of the European integration process can no longer rely on its citizens' permissive consensus, but is in need of a genuine 'European identity'; <I>second</I>, clues to a genuine European identity may be found in the Eastern borderlands of the European Union, because it is here - since the fall of the Iron Curtain - where it has become most evident that the term 'European' can no longer be viewed as interchangeable with Western Europe or the European Union (thus also excluding the Western European non-EU countries) and where the crude East-West division may now be replaced by a West/Central/East division. These two dimensions have created confusion about the exact meaning of Europe and the future of the European Union. The changing political geography seems to have left Europe and especially the European Union with a sense of disorientation. The effect has been the appearance of some pressing questions about Europe's core of identity, its geographical limits and the concept of <I>Mitteleuropa</I>. Within the European Union, the 'Europe 1992' project saw the gradual disappearance of internal frontiers. Together with Schengen, this has enhanced the EU's four freedoms and promoted the idea of the EU as an area open within itself. Free trade, interdependence, communication and transport have contributed to the decreasing importance of internal frontiers and have, in theory, brought the European peoples closer together. But the existence of a European identity still remains questionable. This is also triggered by the fact that the widening versus deepening debate has increasing challenged the European Union's problem of governance. It suggests that the overall European Union's attempts to create a European identity -as, for example, through the concept of European citizenship - have so far only been of symbolic importance and have not yet had the desired impact.
