Abstract:

This thesis contends that all types of film hold historical value and should be appreciated as relevant and valuable sources for contemporary historians. It is argued that feature films, and in particular fictional feature films, are overlooked as sources of information for scholars analysing contemporary history. Planet of the Apes (dir. Franklin J. Schaffner, 1968) is used as a case study to indicate the breadth of information available within the complex audio-visual text. This study contributes to the study of the under-researched film Planet of the Apes that holds an important place withi

Abstract:

The purpose of this essay is to study two film adaptations of the original Planet of the Apes novel and see what kind of relationship the two adaptations have with each other. The main question is if the secondary film adaptation is restricted by the primary and if the relationships between these two are as two separate adaptations or as a remake of an adaptation. What the results of the study show is that the secondary adaptation can not be seen as a remake even though it gets some of its inspiration from both the original story as well as the primary adaptation. The secondary adaptation is,

Abstract:

The 1968 Hollywood film Planet of the Apes is an adaptation of the 1963 French novel La Planet des singes and the strategy used to transform the book into an American film reveals some contradictory tendencies. On one hand, the film effaces any evidence of the story's French roots, thus suggesting colonialist objectives. On the other hand, its subversive message, a reflection of the tumultuous political and social climate of the U.S. in the 1960s, seems to support the theory of antropofagia, a radical Brazilian approach based on the metaphor of cannibalism developed to counteract economic and

Abstract:

Mainstream cinema is to an ever-increasing degree deploying digital imaging technologies to work with the human form; expanding on it, morphing its features, or providing new ways of presenting it. This has prompted theories of simulation and virtualisation to explore the cultural and aesthetic implications, anxieties, and possibilities of a loss of the ‘real’ – in turn often defined in terms of the photographic trace. This thesis wants to provide another perspective. Following instead some recent imperatives in art-theory, this study looks to introduce and expand on the notion of the human fi

Abstract:

With more than ¾ of the forest surface of Cameroon allocated to logging, the survival of many rainforest species will depend on the way in which timber production forests will be managed in this country for the next decades. Management decisions to be applied should be directed systematically towards a minimization of the negative impacts on the ecosystem as a whole, including on the animal populations living in these forests. This requires a detailed understanding of the response of wildlife to selective logging as it is currently practised in Central Africa. <p>This thesis reports results of

Historically, the Minor Planet Center (MPC) has concentrated on improving the quality of the astrometric observations and the resulting orbits of minor planets. In light of long-standing complaints in the literature about the quality of the photometric parameters for the minor planets, there has been a need to improve the quality of the absolute magnitudes, H, and slope parameters, G. However, this task is complex, as the bulk of the minor-planet magnitude estimates are suppl ied by the astrometric observers. These observations are not made through standard fillers and are made with respect to

This thesis examines the human/animal binary in the Western tradition. I analyze in particular the dominant configuration of the human as the speaking, thinking being against the animal as mute and dumb. This configuration informs cultural conceptions of humans and animals in the West, and determines the accordant distribution of ethical worth. To this extent, my project is an ethico-political one: it seeks to disrupt the production of the human/animal binary in order to make space for a posthumanist ethics, which would at its best conceive both intra- and inter-species difference nonhierarchi

All theories attempting to explain the rise of fundamentalism in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries agree that fundamentalism is a problematic and threatening response to a problematic and threatening modernity. This contention can be supported, inasmuch as fundamentalists do indeed seem very much at home in a technological world. However, how much can be extrapolated from this familiarity is highly debatable. To this end, it is vital for any discussion of fundamentalism to first attempt to achieve a clear-eyed view of the modern world. Such a view, at least that which is achiev

‘Reputation’ refers to information about the past behaviour of others, learnable either by direct observation, eavesdropping, or gossip. Reputations are thought to play a key role among human societies in ensuring that people behave cooperatively. When it is gained by eavesdropping, it is called ‘indirect reputation’. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role that ‘indirect reputation’ plays in the lives of non-human great apes, with a special focus on chimpanzees. There were two projects: (1) an observational study of captive chimpanzees (Chester Zoo, U.K.), and (2) social preference

Abstract:

In recent decades, many wild animal populations across Africa have been driven towards extinction due to human activities. This is also true for great apes. As our closest extant relatives, these species serve as evolutionary models for an array of traits which might have characterized our last common ancestor and early humans. Furthermore, apes are considered keystone species to local biodiversity. Therefore, their disappearance would cause permanent damage to local ecosystems, and also impede the understanding of our evolutionary origins. Hence, it is crucial to conserve the last remaining w

Abstract:

This thesis describes efforts to improve the realism of numerical models of giant planet formation and migration in an attempt to better understand these processes. A new approach has been taken to the modelling of accretion, designed to mimic reality by allowing gas to accumulate upon a protoplanetary surface. Implementing this treatment in three-dimensional self-gravity radiation hydrodynamics calculations provides an excellent model for planet growth, allowing an exploration of the factors that affect accretion. Moreover, these calculations have also been extended to investigate the migrati

It has been suggested that great ape cognitive abilities evolved in response to challenges in the physical environment related to large body size. As wild orangutans travel through the forest canopy compliant branches deform under their weight, which increases the size of gaps to be crossed and poses issues of safety and stability; yet they achieve safe and efficient locomotion. Wild orangutans also build structurally complex nests and select branches for nest-building on the basis of their compliant properties.

Another method is to look for periodic decreases in a star's irradiance due to a planet blocking some of the light as it crosses in front of the star or transits.

So what do humans do differently compared to chimpanzees within the same time frame during their development? This dissertation addresses this question by comparing the developmental pr
