Sabine, El Chamaa. "Picturing live war : a research practice in an installation and in a text." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2014. http://research.gold.ac.uk/10558/.
Full textAbstract:
As a local filmmaker I was compelled to film during the 34-day war waged by the Israeli government on Lebanon in July 2006. My questioning of the function of my images amidst the proliferating international and local live media images of that war led me to pursue an interdisciplinary research. This thesis project, presented partly as an installation and partly as a theoretical text, is the result of my research. My thesis argument and original contribution to knowledge is that ‘co-liveness’ has become inherent in the act of watching live war since the first televised live broadcast of war (The First Gulf War, 1991). I have defined co-liveness as the local citizens’ experience of war as an embodied reality and as a mediatised event turning them simultaneously into potential targets and media spectators. My colleagues’ non-recognition of ‘co-liveness’ in my edited sequences leads me to question how the factual/fictional construct of what counts as an image of war is recognised revealing the ‘technostrategic discourse’ (Cohn, 1987) as a recognisable language/view from a gun/air raid perspective. Michel Foucault’s “return to the origin” (1977) inspires the analysis of the framing of first Gulf War (1991) and its critique as ‘infotainment’ and ‘spectacle’, as discursive practices where foundational omissions are inscribed in a critique that perceives all spectators to be distant to war’s materiality. A diffractive reading enables me to propose an imaginary co-live perspective on the margins of the text. The accompanying installation “Fragments” is conceived through the combined influences of ‘Détournement’ (Debord, 1958), the ‘Parergon’ (Derrida, 1979) and ‘Articulation’ (Haraway, 1992) where every visitor’s trajectory maps a personal interaction with the elements on display. Co-presence lends a renewed reading to what it means to ‘watch war’ when visitors share their impressions in a final discussion.

Full textAbstract:
A 280-year old white oak chronology was developed for south-central Virginia to verify the timber harvesting and construction dates of a cabin located on the Reynolds Homestead Research Center. A plaque on the cabin stated that the logs were harvested in 1814. However, the outer rings of the logs dated to 1875 and 1876. From the land-use history of the area, the cabin was most likely constructed to house tenant farmers after the Civil War. Most of the periods of below average growth identified in the 280-year chronology were related to drought events. Correlations between the radial growth of the white oak with temperature and precipitation data from a local weather station were examined. Precipitation had more influence on radial growth than temperature, and significant correlations (p = 0.05) existed between radial growth and precipitation from the previous September, the current April, and the current June.

Full textAbstract:
The Civil War transformed nationalism in American society and created a notion of national identity closely tied to flag iconography. Flag symbolism developed as the prominent visualization of nationalism in American culture during and after the Civil War. The flags of the Civil War - namely the American flag, the Confederate national flag, and the Confederate Battle Cross - grew into iconic images within American communities. Their status as symbols of nationalism, patriotism, and an American historical past often advocated by newspapers, individual citizens, and the soldiers of the war themselves, initiated an American tradition of flag iconography for the purpose of nationalism unforeseen in American culture before the war. After the war, the issues of reconciliation and of what context the war would be placed in American history also became influenced by flag imagery. With the potential for post-war bitterness and lengthened disunity, the American flag offered a symbol that allowed Americans to remember the war as the deeds of patriotic citizens and as part of a continuous American national narrative. In doing so, the American flag became the iconic symbol of American nationalism.<br>Master of Arts

This thesis examines the influence of the Second World War on the lives of British Columbia school children. It employs a variety of primary and secondary sources, including interviews with adults who, during 1939-1945, attended school in British Columbia. War time news and propaganda through such means as newspaper, movies, newsreels and radio broadcasts permeated children's lives. War influenced the whole school curriculum and especially led to changes in Social Studies, Physical Education and Industrial Arts. The war also created a wide range of war-related extra curricular activities for children. War also altered the routine of childrens1 daily lives. Blackouts, air raid drills, rationing, prosperity, people in uniform, fear of invasion, and loved ones killed overseas all contributed to making life during the Second World War different from the eras that preceded and followed it.<br>Education, Faculty of<br>Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of<br>Graduate

Full textAbstract:
History<br>Ph.D.<br>This dissertation explores the development of America’s infantry forces between 1918-1945. While doing so, it challenges and complicates the traditional narrative that highlights the fierceness of the rivalry between the U.S. Army and Marine Corps. During the First World War, both commissioned and enlisted Marines attended U.S. Army schools and served within Army combat formations, which brought the two closer together than ever before. Both services became bonded by a common warfighting paradigm, or way of battle, that centered upon the infantry as the dominant combat arm. All other arms and services were subordinated to the needs and requirements of the infantry. Intelligent initiative, fire and maneuver by the smallest units, penetrating hostile defenses while bypassing strong points, and aggressive, not reckless, leadership were all salient characteristics of that shared infantry way of battle. After World War I, Army and Marine officers constructed similar intellectual proposals concerning the ways to fight the next war. Although there were differences in organizational culture, the two were more alike in their respective values systems than historians have realized. There was mutual admiration, and targeted attempts to replicate each other’s combat thinking and spirit. They prepared for battle by observing each other’s doctrine, and sharing each other’s conception of modern combat. When preparation turned to execution in World War II, they created solutions for battlefield problems that evolved from their near-identical way of battle. At the conclusion of the war, the common bonds between the Army and Marine Corps were all but forgotten. This, ultimately, led to increased friction during the Congressional defense unification battles in 1946.<br>Temple University--Theses

Evans, Bradley. "War for the Politics of Life." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2007. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.486144.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a theoretical and empirical interrogation into the current Global State if War. It takes-a distinctly political perspective by investigating the intimate (dis)connections which exist between Liberalism, Security, Violence, and Difference. The global Liberal f problematic of security, which is understood bio-politically through the changes in the life sciences, is central to these investigations. This research thus moves. beyond the negative lacuna of sovereign power, to understand how the subjective categorisations of authenticity and falsehood can be understood in relation to exigencies of life. Bio-political security in this way is presented to be a highly contested global principle of formation, which in the process of letting things happen invokes certain notions of human necessity in order to abandon the political. The thesis argues that this rewriting of the security agenda displaces political subjectivity and ontological claims to difference. It makes the Homo Oeconomicus the only basis for a calculable and contingent reality. The thesis argues that through these processes a marked distinction is necessarily offered in terms of violence. Liberal violence can be fully sanctioned while all alternative violence is routinely disqualified. Whilst these neat and holistic modes of separation are predicated on difference, by focusing on the Islamic movement Hamas and the Zapatistas evidence is presented to illustrate why forms of violence should not be explained through modes of separation (reasoned/pathological). In thoroughly modernist terms, the violence associated with movements such as Hamas is not a relationship of difference, but of similitude. These claims of violent reciprocity are further substantiated and given more critical depth by exploring the connections between non-violence and difference. The Zapatista uprising provides a meaningful comparison in this regard by illustrating how a commitment to the politics of difference makes non-violence possible. This suggests that if we afford ontological priority to difference political comparisons can be made between insurgency movements worldwide. To conclude the thesis calls for a return of the political into conflict analysis. This would be a necessary step in the creation of a new ontological humanisll), which does not serve to dehumanise political subjects, but affirms life by giving ethical priority to ontological difference.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Gerontologia Social<br>A Guerra Colonial Portuguesa é um dos acontecimentos mais marcantes da história portuguesa, remetendo à segunda metade do século XX. A geração que participou neste conflito armado encontra-se, no presente ano de 2019, com 65 e mais anos. Incidindo a investigação no âmbito da Gerontologia Social, aborda-se o envelhecimento enquanto processo que acompanha o ciclo vital, com a finalidade de analisar como a participação na Guerra Colonial condicionou as trajetórias de vida e o processo de envelhecimento de ex-militares de diferentes ramos de serviço, como o Exército, a Força Aérea e a Marinha; e de diferentes teatros de operações, nomeadamente Angola, Guiné e Moçambique, que se encontravam em serviço entre os anos de 1961 e 1975, na Guerra Colonial, sendo delineado este estudo exploratório, utilizando uma amostragem não probabilística. A partir das entrevistas realizadas a 30 ex-militares associados a dispositivos de suporte como a Associação dos Deficientes das Forças Armadas (ADFA), a Associação de Apoio aos Ex-Combatentes Vítimas do Stress de Guerra (APOIAR) e o Instituto de Ação Social das Forças Armadas (IASFA), caracterizou-se a população-alvo, em termos sociodemográficos, identificaram-se relações entre a participação na Guerra Colonial, as trajetórias de vida e o processo de envelhecimento da população-alvo, e através das 9 entrevistas realizadas a Informadores Qualificados, realizou-se um levantamento das funções de vários profissionais em diferentes áreas de atuação, relacionando-se com o apoio dado a ex-militares.<br>The Portuguese Colonial War is one of the most striking events in the Portuguese history, referring to the second half of the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines civilian mobilization amidst the Donbas war in Ukraine and the identity formation processes that it engendered. It focuses on ordinary residents of the frontline regions who voluntarily got together to address the humanitarian and military consequences of war in the absence of state support. It explores the micro-level dynamics of mobilization, particularly the demographic profile of volunteers, their motivations to join and their pathways to engagement. In so doing, it provides an account of how ordinary residents of seemingly passive regions became active in times of crisis. I use the concept of “identity formation” to analyze how war and war engagement have impacted citizen, gender, national and language identities of those active at the rear. The outbreak of war shattered habitual ways of thinking and acting and brought about new modes of belonging and meaning making for war volunteers. My findings suggest that successful volunteer efforts in wartime allowed volunteers to position themselves differently with respect to community, nation, and the state and to articulate new understandings of “good citizenship.” The shifting positioning of volunteers, as the research demonstrates, is inherently linked to the changing citizen regimes in Ukraine and the gendered conceptions of who counts as a legitimate member of the community. By employing ethnographic tools of inquiry, the dissertation provides an ethnographic account of wartime social change “from below” and speaks to larger social and political transformations in wartime using Ukraine as a case study. It does so with attention to the social-political environment within which collective action occurs and in relation to the new types of mobility, socializing and bonding it engenders.

Full textAbstract:
The Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission (IWGC), founded during the 1917 Imperial War Conference, was the institution responsible for the British Empire’s war dead from the First World War. This thesis reveals Canada’s limited influence in establishing the IWGC and also during its early deliberations. This is in sharp contrast to standard historical views of Canada’s apparent national affirmation at home and abroad during the war.
This thesis argues that despite Canada’s initiatives for increased autonomy over military and political matters during the First World War, this desire for independence of action was absent when exploring the case study of the IWGC. Each Dominion had a delegate in the IWGC’s governing body and the cost of the care and maintenance of the Empire’s war graves was shared between Britain and the Dominions, proportionally to their number of war dead. Canada’s share was the largest amongst the Dominions. However, the innovative imperial structure reflected in the IWGC’s organization did not translate into any equality in decision-making regarding IWGC policies. British representatives preferred a unified imperial approach, suppressing Dominion voices, and Canada’s representative rarely objected. Given the importance of the subject of military burials for bereaved families, the Canadian government’s general lack of advocacy on their behalf demonstrates Canada’s imperial mindset, which in this case overshadowed burgeoning national assertion.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores academic propaganda in the first two years of the First World War, examining the activity of the university men in Britain and Germany who were left behind when their students went to the Front. Using pamphlets and manifestoes, it seeks to highlight the way the War split the international academic community and the creation of a debate which examined not only the causes of the War, but the reasons for which the nations were fighting. By exploring the propaganda organisations of both countries, as well as the academic milieu in which the subjects of this thesis worked, it hopes to provide the context within which this propaganda was created, before turning to an examination of the content of the propaganda - an aspect which has often been overlooked in propaganda studies. The investigation of the content looks first at the outbreak of war and the reaction of the academic community to a shock which shook their community. It then turns to the arguments expounded on culpability for the War, and the ideals for which each side felt they were fighting, illustrating the shift in emphasis from a political war to an ideological conflict between two opposing world views. Finally, the thesis considers perceptions of the War in the early years of the conflict, and the way in which it was seen both as a panacea to overcome social divisions and a catharsis which would lead the way to a new world - ideas which would provide the foundation for later war aims. In taking this comparative approach, the aim is to provide new insights into a fascinating and relatively little-known aspect of the history of the First World War.

Full textAbstract:
There is only passing reference made to human rights law in United Kingdom armed forces doctrine and military publications. Moreover, there is no reference made to the United Kingdom's right to life obligations in respect of those affected by the actions of the state's armed forces, or armed forces personnel themselves, during international and non-international armed conflict. As a consequence, no formal mechanism exists to ensure that the United Kingdom can comply with its right to life obligations pursuant to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Recent judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, advisory opinions and a judgment of the International Court of Justice, and views of numerous United Nations human rights bodies and rapporteurs would appear to indicate that human rights law can and does, however, apply during armed conflict. The exact nature of how human rights law, and the right to life specifically, apply during armed conflict and the obligations thus created, remain largely unresolved and generate considerable debate. This study therefore aims to consider both the extent to which the United Kingdom has right to life obligations during international and non-international armed conflict and, on the basis of current doctrine and procedures, how far the state complies with such obligations. Implicit in this analysis is a determination of what positive and negative right to life obligations are created by the ECHR and ICCPR, the extent to which these obligations have extraterritorial effect during armed conflict, how these obligations interact with the United Kingdom's obligations pursuant to international humanitarian law, and the effect of a derogation from the ECHR during armed conflict. This study concludes that the United Kingdom has both substantive and procedural right to life obligations during armed conflict, albeit partially modified by reference to international humanitarian law. Adhering to current United Kingdom military doctrine and procedures does not, however, always ensure full compliance with these obligations.

Full textAbstract:
Emily Mann's play Still Life is a story of a Vietnam War veteran who returns home to a less than enthusiastic welcome. Like most veterans from this war, he struggles to come to terms with the atrocities he witnessed and even carried out himself. The play consists of three characters: Mark, a Vietnam veteran, Cheryl, his wife, and Nadine, his lover. Both women believe they intrinsically understand Mark, but neither truly can. Mark has returned from the war violent, irrevocably broken, and feeling that he has been abandoned by society. Emily Mann interviewed real people and transcribed their words into theatre of fact to provide a fresh outlook into a tumultuous period of American history. This thesis will explore the historical and artistic significance of Emily Mann's Still Life and its depiction of the political and cultural atmosphere of post-war America. Specifically, I will discuss the reception of the Vietnam soldiers and how they were affected by the war socially, psychologically and economically. I will explore interviews detailing what these young men experienced while at war, how it affected them then and now, and discuss how these issues are reflected in Emily Mann's Still Life. In addition to interviews, my methodology will consist of scriptural analysis and quantitative research.<br>M.A.<br>Department of Theatre<br>Arts and Humanities<br>Theatre MA

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the life histories of women who served in the Second World War British auxiliary services (the Auxiliary Territorial Service, the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, and the Women’s Royal Naval Service) who migrated to Canada as war brides (the wives or fiancées of Canadian servicemen). It argues that understandings of womanhood which connect ideal femininity with domesticity operate on the ways in which war bride veterans view themselves as veterans and how they remember their experiences as servicewomen. In their oral histories, these women portrayed themselves both in accordance with and in opposition to traditional feminine roles. However, identities associated with traditional femininity such as ‘sweetheart,’ ‘wife,’ ‘mother,’ and ‘grandmother’ were frequently most prevalent. My findings indicate that war brides who had more satisfying and smooth transitions to Canadian life generally remember and emphasize their war bride past over their military history and view themselves as having a Canadian identity. Alternatively, those who had more difficult experiences of migration gain composure in remembering their experiences as servicewomen since these experiences were less troubling and complicated. These women tend to assert their British identities. This project contributes to scholarship in gender history, memory studies, and studies of migration though unpacking how cultural discourses regarding gender in wartime and national identity intersect with stories of migration in the life history narratives of war bride veterans. It provides a new framework for the study of women in war in Britain, as well as war bride history in Canada. This thesis produced and draws from eighteen comprehensive life history interviews with war bride veterans. Part I begins with a chapter exploring theoretical concepts setting out the combined material and cultural epistemology of this project, including popular memory theory, as well as understandings of gender and nationality that assisted the methodology developed for analyzing war bride veterans’ narratives in relation to historical and cultural research. This methodology based on the work of T.G. Ashplant, Graham Dawson, Michael Roper, and Richard Johnson, recognizes the circular and nuanced relationships people have with cultural codes and memories. The historical context chapter examines historical understandings regarding appropriate roles for men and women in wartime through primary source research and contemporary gender historical theory. It also examines how war brides have been recognized in Canadian cultural memory. Part II applies this work with three chapters centred on life history interviews with Wendy Turner, Victoria Sparrow, and Penny MacDonald (pseudonyms).

Full textAbstract:
The study describes the experiences of a small sample of men from Westoe Colliery in South Shields within a comprehensive conceptual framework, that is rather than taking the closure as its starting point this study attempts to understand the importance and relevance of redundancy in terms of the men's life experience. For this reason the men's reasons for entering mining and their subsequent attachment to work are considered as is the increasing dissatisfaction with work experienced following the closure announcement. This study seeks to add to our understanding of the process of redundancy and the way in which redundancy was achieved with relative ease. As Wood and Dey (1983) have noted reactions to redundancy are, of course, affected by the current state of the labour market but they are also affected by other factors. The role of redundancy payments is examined and it is found that such payments have an extremely important role in easing the process of redundancy, however they cannot be considered in isolation from other factors that served to constrain the workers' choices. Redundancy is a far more complex process than many studies have suggested and cannot be understood without considering how previous experiences. influence workers' perceptions of events and their reaction to them. The labour market experiences of the redundant men and the role of British Coal Enterprise are also examined and this study, in common with others, questions BCE's claims of success in 'outplacing' redundant miners. The men's experiences are considered in the context of Government and employers' attempts to increase flexibility. It is found that redundant miners, like an increasing proportion of Britain's workforce, are experiencing increasing insecurity both in and out of employment.

Full textAbstract:
The combination of traditional process migration and the new virtualization technology enables mobility of virtual machines and resource provisioning within data centers. While applied to wide area network (WAN), a traditional migration algorithm has to adjust itself according to the various WAN situations and VM status. This thesis identifies four performance measurements of a VM migration: total migration time, downtime, remote up time and performance degradation. It observes that the total migration time and the remote up time of traditional pre-copy over WAN is too long to tolerate. This thesis claims that even for WAN, post-copy could be used to improve the total migration time and remote up time, only by introducing tolerable, predictable and controllable performance degradation. The adaptiveness of the migration algorithm is concerned. It proposes a hybrid solution of pre-copy and post-copy, both for memory and storage, to do the migration. In the hybrid solution, a fraction of memory (Mfrac) and a fraction of storage (Sfrac) are migrated in the pre-copy and freeze-and-copy phase, and the remaining are migrated in the post-copy phase. A model-based solution with the help of profiling is proposed to adaptively find the best combination of Mfrac and Sfrac. The evaluation part suggests that the proposed solution could adapt to different application behaviors and network conditions.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Computer Science<br>Master<br>Master of Philosophy

Phillips, Patricia. "Lives less ordinary : North West women's narratives of world war two." Thesis, University of Manchester, 2009. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.508606.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an inter-disciplinary study of a group of north-west women's narratives of World War Two. It examines the private memories and oral history narratives of ordinary, working women. These personal narratives are contextualised by the dominant public narratives of the war as defined in popular memory, fictive and 'factual' commemorative depictions, and as debated by both popular and scholarly writers. The thesis explores the hypothesis that constructions of personal narratives of the war are influenced by dominant public narratives of World War Two in Britain. This was found to be the case to a more limited extent than might be imagined and was only demonstrated to a small degree. The conclusion drawn was that some 'public' versions of events are effaced or ignored because of class, regional and gender factors, or through the added 'interference' of powerful emotional memories. The thesis explores the testimonies through a range of interdisciplinary theoretical and narrative approaches to examine both confirmations and challenges to the central hypothesis. Strongly influenced by feminist research and by narrative and biographical approaches in cultural studies, the idea of intersubjectivity is a central component of the analysis. The stories were influenced intersubjectively on several levels, including the effects of dominant popular memory and discourses of World War Two, the intersection of public narrative and personal emotional memories, and the intersubjective nature of the interview process. Regional factors were stressed in many of the narratives, affected in part by my intersubjective input as insider/ outsider researcher, which resulted in a prominent Manchester narrative strand In its use of an interdisciplinary narrative framework this research contributes to the analytical and interpretive possibilities currently debated in oral history, including debates about traditional history, the decline of 'master narratives', the rise of 'microhistory' and the recognition of a shift in oral history from arguments about validity to the significance of subjectivities, narrative and culture. In recording original interviews it adds to the Northern collections of oral histories of women commonly 'voiceless' or marginal in traditional history. By examining narrative, memory, gender and intersubjectivity in these oral history accounts, the research adds to the corpus of work in oral history and on Women in World War Two. It highlights some of the complexities of memory, both public and private, and specifically notes the significance of regional, intersubjective, emotional and idiosyncratic elements in the construction of women's personal narratives, in contrast to expectations raised by dominant memories of national events. It emphasises the significance of traditional and regional working and family practices in the construction of wartime narratives. This contributes particularly to new interpretations of "muted' versions of national events, and the more mundane narratives of wartime that fall between the 'heroic' and "stoic' ends of the spectrum.

Bonnerjee, Samraghni. "Nursing politics and the body in First World War life-writing." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/21945/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the diaries and retrospective memoirs of trained and volunteer Anglophone nurses of the First World War. In the chapters that follow, I read their published and unpublished (from archival sources) writings to analyses their political affiliations for volunteering in war-work, and offer an affective reading of representations of bodies in their writings. The thesis is rooted in the genre of Life-Writing and it draws on a cultural and emotional history of war, as well as a Medical Humanities approach. The thesis begins by arguing that Florence Nightingale was the author of the genre of the war nurse’s life-writing. It reads her personal writings during her training at Kaiserswerth and during the Crimean War to trace the legacy and influence of her cultural image among the nurses of the First World War. The second chapter then analyses the motivations of nurses to volunteer for the First World War and reveals the various ‘kinds’ of the war nurse: the patriotic, the romantic, the pacifist, and the feminist. It reads memoirs published during and after the War to demonstrate that the reasons nurses volunteered to serve in the War were myriad and complicated and should be looked at from positions of “inferiority complex” and opportunity to finally participate in public life and actively contribute to the war effort from which they had been barred because of their gender. Both metaphorically and physically, the nurses dwelt in no man’s land: barred from fighting, and distinct from the Home Front, their work bridged the gap between these two fronts. The hospitals where they worked were transformed into “second battlefields”, and in the third chapter, I examine the effect this other fighting has on their own bodies. The chapter reads how they represent their own bodies in ink as they counter the shock of actual bodily contact with wounded, vulnerable, naked male bodies and how they embed touch and knowledge within the subtext of desire. It then analyses the long-lasting effects of this work on their bodies and minds, by reading instances of physical breakdown, sicknesses, and war neuroses in the writings of the nurses. Moving on from their own bodies, the thesis then considers the representations of the wounded bodies of the soldiers in the writings of the nurses. The fourth chapter draws on the grotesque and Foucauldian gaze as a means of reading the representations of mutilated bodies, faces, and hideous wounds of the soldiers, ultimately offering an affective reading of the helplessness faced by the nurses witnessing physical pain experienced by the soldiers. It considers the question of how the nurses looked at mutilated, disfigured, dead bodies, and represented the full range of emotions and experiences arising out of that viewing. The final chapter of the thesis examines the encounter of the nurses with the body of the wounded colonised soldier. It close-reads the removal of nurses from British hospitals treating Indian soldiers, through the intersections of gender, race, and class, laying bare fears of miscegenation, eugenics, and degeneracy. It then reads writings by British and Australian nurses in France, Mesopotamia and India, to lay bare an infantilising attitude in their treatment of their non-white patients, and racial discrimination in their administration of medical care.

Read, Philippa. "Female heroism in First World War France : representations and lived experiences." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/17592/.
Full textAbstract:
This study is an evaluation of female heroism as it was both represented and experienced in First World War France. In order to investigate representative ideas about women’s heroic wartime roles and acts, the first half of the thesis explores the ways in which different aspects of female heroism were presented in dominant, often patriarchal wartime discourses. The second half of the thesis provides the material for comparison, with an analysis of first-hand accounts by two women who were both presented as heroic in the First World War, but whose roles and social backgrounds differed considerably. As such, the two halves of the thesis enter into a ‘dialogue’ which ultimately helps us to garner a clear and nuanced understanding of the complex ways in which female heroism was defined and represented during and after the First World War. A study of heroism in First World War France has value because the concept of wartime courage and bravery was bound up with the notion of national fortitude and civic duty in a country which suffered under invasion and occupation. As such, a study of the characteristics of female heroism also relates to broader questions of French national identity in wartime. Equally, it relates to the ways in which gender discourses functioned and evolved under such circumstances. Finally, this study sheds light on the ways in which individual women engaged with these broader discourses in their own self-presentations.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyzes Life’s early coverage of the Cold War (1945-1954) in order to explicate this publication’s creation and reinforcement of prescriptive attitudes about this ideological engagement through photographically illustrated news. By uncovering Life’s editorial approach this project proposes a new diagnostic for evaluating documentary images by re-configuring Hayden White’s incisive theory of emplotment—the process of engendering historical narratives with meaning— through semiotic models proposed by Louis Hjelmslev and Roland Barthes, thereby offering a useful tool for future scholars to re-examine modern media’s transition towards prizing visual immediacy over critical engagement.
Life’s editors’ link narrative devices and rhetoric with photographs to make these images appear as first-hand experience and function as objective conclusions. Life characterizes the Cold War as an epic moral struggle between the US and USSR, and its 1943 special issue on Russia acts as the comedic prologue to this narrative by distinguishing these ideologically disparate wartime allies. After post-war agreements fail, this congenial atmosphere swiftly transitions into another battle between democracy and tyranny, defined through literary conventions. Life employs synecdoche and allegory to encode photographs of individuals as icons of valorous populations (Americans and Eastern Europeans) and to symbolize concepts (democracy and charity). Metonymy and irony transform photographs into direct signs of Communism and visual evidence of its degeneracy. Life’s comic presentation of Marshal Josip Tito contrasts with its satiric coverage of Senator Joseph McCarthy to direct readers’ attention towards the best and worst possible courses of action regarding the Communist menace, at home and abroad.

Full textAbstract:
The central goal of this project is to better understand the relationship between civil war and repression at each phase of the "civil-war life-cycle," which is composed of the escalation and onset of civil war, the war itself, and the post-war period. The project then seeks to understand the role of repression in civil war onset, where repression is argued to be either a permissive condition or a direct cause of civil war, where the role of repression is tied to what type of civil war occurs. As a permissive condition, repression essentially provides the opportunity for a group to carry out an attack, invasion, mutiny, and the like. During other conflicts, repression may be a direct cause of the war. The repression of protest movements may lead those groups to view "normal," non-violent political channels as closed, while also increasing grievances and therefore their willingness to fight. This direct mechanism along with the escalation process that leads to civil war is explored in depth, using data from the 2011 Arab Spring. This project also seeks to explain when conflicts are likely to be accompanied by harsh repression and the targeting of civilians, and to address whether that strategy is effective. It is argued that insurgencies rely on civilian populations for material and non-material support; if the government targets this resource pool then it may be able to undercut that lifeline and thus the military effectiveness of the group. Yet, as repression is costly this is only a strategy likely to be employed when the rebels are gaining ground, when they are relatively strong and militarily effective. As such, governments that employ repression as a war-time strategy are likely beginning from a point of weakness or disadvantage. It is thus further argued that the "gamble" of repression is not likely to reverse the government's fortunes; rather, wars marked by high levels of repression are most likely to end in stalemate. Finally, the use of, or the restraint from using, repression in post-war periods is also explored. Little attention has thus far been paid to the use of repression in post-conflict states, despite the growing literature on the consequences of conflict and the importance of this time for rebuilding and establishing peace. Here, the transformation of the war-time threat, together with various constraints against using repression in the post-war period, are considered.

Full textAbstract:
The just war tradition as we know it has its origins with Christian theology. In
this dissertation, I examine the theological, in particular ontological, presuppositions of
St. Augustine of Hippo in his elucidation of just war. By doing so, I show how certain
metaphysical ideas of St. Augustine (especially those on existence, love, and the
sovereignty of God) shaped the just war tradition. Following this, I examine the slow
evacuation of his metaphysics from the just war tradition. Through the systemization of
just war by St. Thomas Aquinas, aided later on by Bartolomé de Las Casas and Hugo
Grotius, the doctrine became a shadowy reflection of the tradition. By analyzing the
notions of morality in warfare by political realists (Waltz, Morgenthau), international
law, and liberal thinkers (Rawls, Walzer), I show the incoherence of the doctrine when it
is separated from its ontological and metaphysical roots.
