Abstract:

This thesis traces the changing conceptions and uses of myth in the poetry and prose of Percy Shelley. Its main argument is framed from a critical-theoretical perspective inspired by Dialectic of Enlightenment by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. From this methodological standpoint, the study of myth can be related to other aspects of Shelley’s work, like his understanding of history and the problem of necessity and agency. The body of the dissertation is divided into three main parts, each of which is constituted by a series of shorter chapters. The first part deals with the mutually constit

Following the global oil crisis of October 1973 the UK government funded and administered a range of R&D programmes in renewable energy.

The purpose of this thesis was to highlight an aspect of the heterogeneous character of working class culture.

The study concluded that hostilities based on nationality and religion were a recurrent feature of popular culture.

This thesis examines the political and social history of Ashington, a coal mining community in Northumberland, in the years 1870 to 1914. This community was the first in the county to move from the Liberal Party to the Labour Party in the early twentieth century and to reject the conciliatory policies of the late Victorian era in favour of a position of assertiveness and national solidarity in industrial relations. It was also central to persuading the accommodationist county union to adopt a similar stance. This study explores the process by which Ashington made such changes and took the lead

The UFWA were concerned with the promotion and definition of citizenship, and in so doing laid race as a foundation of Canadian identity. AR is a magazine that concerns itself with white nationalism in the contemporary United States. Drawing upon Avery Gordon and Wend

Taking as its starting point the claim that the objectives of social policy are contested, it seeks to develop an account of autonomy that will serve as a neutral 'organizational principle' around which to construct social policy. A particular version of personal autonomy is developed and defended against both abstract Kantian moral autonomy, and the individualism often associated with liberal theories.

Abstract:

香港在主流革命史學的敘述中一般被認為是推動辛亥革命的「搖籃」，但在革命黨人之外的社會大眾，對「革命」究竟有怎樣的取態？《香港華字日報》是這段時期香港銷量最大的華文報紙，仔細考察該報創辦的歷史及其1909-1913年的政治取態，可見該報是華商陳氏家族的一份現代產業，並無黨派認同，報紙內容與宗旨也頗具現代傳媒的新聞專業主義色彩，強調「中立」而較少傳統「文人論政」情懷。<br>本文選取1909-1913年的《香港華字日報》，剖析這五年的報紙中與「革命」相關的內容細節，認為這份報紙對「革命」並非積極推動，取態反而偏於保守，並順應時勢而調整：辛亥前報紙展現的「革命」介於傳統和現代之間，既是「犯上作亂」的傳統造反，又是謀求民族獨立、政治改良的現代革命；而辛亥之後，報紙不滿意革命黨建立的地方政府，轉而支持中央而強烈反對革命黨的「二次革命」。這樣的取態既反映了部份以往未得到充分審視的社會輿論，也與報紙自身的立場及處境有關。<br>Hong Kong is understood as the "birthplace" of the 1911 Revolution in mainstream studies of the Chinese Revolution. But besides the revolutionaries, how did ordinary people understand "re
