Abstract:
Reflects upon the commemoration of the Atlantic slave trade and American slavery. Author describes how the slave trade and slavery was recently "rediscovered", as a part of Dutch history, and he compares this to the attention to this history in other European countries once engaging in slavery. He argues that despite the fact that the history of the slave trade and slavery is worthy of attention in itself, contemporary political and social factors mainly influence attention to the slave trade and slavery, noting that in countries with larger Afro-Caribbean minority groups the attention to this past is greater than in other once slave-trading countries. He further deplores the lack of academic accuracy on the slave trade and slavery in slavery commemorations and in the connected search for African roots among descendants of slaves, and illustrates this by focusing on the role of Ghana, and the slave fortress Elmina there, as this fortress also has become a much visited tourist site by Afro-Americans. According to him, this made for some that Ghana represents the whole of Africa, while African slaves in the Caribbean, also in the Dutch colonies, came from various parts of Africa. Author attributes this selectivity in part to the relatively large Ghanaian community in the Netherlands.

Full text
Abstract:
A powerful community of royal slaves emerged in Kano Emirate in the wake of Usman dan Fodio's jihad (1804-08), which established the Sokoto Caliphate. These elite slaves held administrative and military positions of great power, and over the course of the nineteenth century played an increasing prominent role in the political, economic, and social life of Kano. However, the individuals who occupied slave offices have largely been rendered silent by the extant historical record. They seldom appear in written sources from the period, and then usually only in passing. Likewise, certain officials and offices are mentioned in official sources from the colonial period, but only in the context of broader colonial concerns and policies, usually related to issues about taxation and the proper structure of indirect rule.As the following interview demonstrates, the collection and interpretation of oral sources can help to fill these silences. By listening to the words and histories of the descendents of royal slaves, as well as current royal slave titleholders, we can begin to reconstruct the social history of nineteenth-century royal slave society, including the nature of slave labor and work, the organization the vast plantation system that surrounded Kano, and the ideology and culture of royal slaves themselves.The interview is but one example of a series of interviews conducted with current and past members of this royal slave hierarchy by Yusufu Yunusa. As discussed below, Sallama Dako belonged to the royal slave palace community in Kano. By royal slave, we mean highly privileged and powerful slaves who were owned by the emir, known in Hausa as bayin sarki (slaves of the emir or king).

Full text
Abstract:
The present study concerned the views regarding the acceptability of possible national policies related to slavery by people whose families were directly affected in the past. It was conducted in the island of Martinique (an overseas French department), and 298 descendants of slaves participated. Three qualitatively different personal positions were found; these positions were designated Skeptics (28% of the sample), Reparationists (35%) and Undetermined (37%). For people holding a Skeptic position, nothing meaningful can be done to repair the horrors of slavery. However a national policy that includes public acknowledgment of past wrongs can be considered as tolerable provided it is accompanied by material compensations. For people holding a Reparationist position, any national policy that involves public acknowledgment of past wrongs is considered as acceptable, whether or not it is accompanied by material compensation. Policies of amnesia and/or exaltation of the past or policies that involve only material compensations are viewed as not acceptable. In addition reparation policies are considered as more acceptable in cases where socio-economic integration of slave descendants has been achieved than in cases where it has not. For people holding an Undetermined position, slavery and the slave trade are part of the deep past; as a result, it is difficult to have strong views about it or about related policies. These three personal positions were related to educational level and religious involvement in a meaningful way. In particular, undetermined people were less educated and more religious than others.

Abstract:
Abstract Several theories emerged, based on the Christian conversion of lower caste communities in colonial India. The social and economic aspects predominate the study of religious conversion among the lower castes in Kerala. Most of these studies only explored the lower caste conversion after the legal abolition of slavery in Kerala (1855). The existing literature followed the mass movement phenomena. These studies ignore the slave lifeworld and conversion history before the abolition period, and they argued, through religious conversion, the former slave castes began breaking social and caste hierarchy with the help of Protestant Christianity. The dominant Dalit Christian historiography does not open the complexity of slave Christian past. Against this background, this paper explores the history of slave caste conversion before the abolition period. From the colonial period, the missionary writings bear out that the slaves were hostile to and suspicious of new religions. They accepted Christianity only cautiously. It was a conscious choice, even as many Dalits refused Christian teachings.

Abstract:
This paper examines how Manu Herbstein employs his fictionalised neo-slave narrative entitled Ama, a Story of the Atlantic Slave Trade to address the issue of sexual violence against women and to foreground the trans-Atlantic rape identities of victims and victimisers in relation to race, gender, class and religion. An appraisal of Herbstein's representations within the framework of postcolonial theory reveals how Herbstein deviates from the stereotypical norm of narrating the rape of female captives and slaves during the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade by creating graphic rape images in his narration. This study therefore shows that a postcolonial reading of Herbstein's novel addresses the representations of rape and male sexual aggression in literary discourse and contributes to the arguments on sexual violence against women from the past to the present.

Abstract:
Tony Morrison’s novel is inspired in the real story of a fugitive slave, Margaret Garner, and can be considered a ghost story belonging to the African American oral tradition as well as a slave narrative. In it, Morrison wants to break the silence around the dreadful events that took place in the lives of millions of black slaves in The United States of America. Her characters must learn to "speak the unspeakable" in order to exorcise the demons of slavery through "rememory", the painful remembrance of the past that haunts not only the black community but the whole history of this nation. Morrison’s intention may well be to write a "literary archaology", recovering the past in an original narrative mode that gives a voice to those that had been silenced for centuries.

Tagliamonte, Sali Anna. "A matter of time: Past temporal reference verbal structures in Samana English and the Ex-Slave Recordings." Thesis, University of Ottawa (Canada), 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/7725.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation is based on two corpora of Black English. The first, the Samana English Corpus is a series of recorded conversations with very elderly residents of the Samana peninsula in the Dominican Republic. They are the descendants of American Ex-Slaves who immigrated there just after emancipation. The second, the Ex-Slave Recordings are interviews with American Ex-Slaves conducted in the 1930's. These corpora represent two, of the very rare, oral data bases which can tell us what Black English was like at an earlier point in time. The focus of our investigation was the past temporal reference system. Here, variable marking patterns among tense/aspect morphemes suggest that there are underlying differences between white and black varieties of English. We considered every verbal structure used to mark past time. This encompasses a wide range of different morphological types--base forms, e.g. I walk, suffixal inflections, e.g. I walked, suppletive forms, e.g. I went, pre-verbal items such as auxiliaries, e.g. I used to walk, as well as auxiliary/inflection combinations, e.g. I have walked/I have gone/I was walking. Many of these are used interchangeably, possibly as alternative semantic categories. Each of these forms was examined quantitatively with respect to many contextual features and from all areas of the grammar--phonology, syntax, semantics and discourse. Our results suggest some general patterns to temporal structure and organization. For example, we found that the existence of a preceding verbal mark was significant to all the variables we examined. An overt mark or no mark at all, led to more of the same. Such a counter-functional effect, although unattested in any English variety, is distinctly unlike a Creole system where overt marking is said to lead to unmarked forms. We concluded that there is very little evidence that the variable past temporal reference verbal structures in Samana English or the Ex-Slave Recordings can be attributed to Creole-like temporal organization. To the question of whether they represent English processes--there is little evidence that they do not. It remains to be seen, however, whether these results will be confirmed or contrasted in other Creole and/or English varieties (either Black or white). (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Wartberg, Lynn Cowles. "“'They was Things Past the Tellin’: A Reconsideration of Sexuality and Memory in the Ex-Slave Narratives of the Federal Writers’ Project"." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2012. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/1575.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1936, Federal Writers’ Project (FWP) employees began interviewing formerly enslaved men and women, allowing them to speak publicly of their experiences under slavery. Defying racism and the repressions of Jim Crow, ex-slaves discussed intimate details of their lives. Many researchers considered these interviews unreliable, but if viewed through the lens of gender and analyzed using recent scholarship on slavery and sexuality, FWP interviews offer new insights into the lives of enslaved men and women. Using a small number of ex-slave interviews, most of them drawn from Louisiana, this thesis demonstrates the value of these oral histories for understanding the sexual lives of enslaved men and women. These interviews expose what we would otherwise have little access to: the centrality of struggles over enslaved people’s sexuality and reproduction to the experience of enslavement and the long-term effects of these struggles on the attitudes of slavery’s survivors.

Full text
Abstract:
Notre travail propose une approche sociologique du processus de recomposition identitaire au Brésil à l'époque Lula. Nous considérons que cette période entraine une dynamique reconstructive du passé esclavagiste déterminée par de nouvelles conditions d'émergence des souvenirs. Cela conduit à la construction d'un nouveau « cadre » mémoriel, d'une substitution de l'idée d'un Brésil métissé à la brésilienne, dont l'assimilation culturelle des afro-descendants est le pilier, par l'idée d'un Brésil fait d‘une diversité ethnique. La question centrale à laquelle nous tenterons d'apporter quelques éléments de réponse à travers cette étude est la suivante : quels sont les impacts de la politique d'Actions Affirmatives sur les transformations mémorielles et identitaires produites au Brésil pendant cette époque Lula ? Afin de mieux saisir notre objet d'étude et tester nos hypothèses, nous avons choisi d'étudier quatre champs d'analyse : l'analyse de l'historiographie brésilienne de l'esclavage ; l'analyse de la production de nouveaux discours sur le passé visible, pendant les années Lula, dans deux journaux brésiliens ; les entretiens avec des acteurs sociaux, considérés ici comme « architectes » des Actions Affirmatives brésiliennes ; et pour finir, des questionnaires adressés aux étudiants cotistas de l'enseignement supérieur.En conformité avec la problématique posée dans notre recherche, nous considérons que trois thèses peuvent être soutenus. D'abord, des éléments d'une dynamique interne, représentée par la lutte des Mouvements Noirs du pays, et externe, fortement poussée par les demandes de la globalisation, ont contribué à ce que le passé esclavagiste devienne l'objet de l'action publique. Puis, la mémoire du passé esclavagiste brésilien fait l'objet d'une importante évolution depuis l'adoption des politiques d'Actions Affirmatives dans le pays. Ces politiques promeuvent un nouvel encadrement social des processus mémoriels à partir de l'émergence d'une nouvelle signification du passé. Et enfin, les transformations mémorielles opérées à l'époque Lula, influencent, de façon significative, l'identité brésilienne et déterminent la reconnaissance de la diversité ethnique du pays. Au-delà de ce processus, l'appropriation par les Afro-brésiliens d'une identité nationale, nous semble être un catalyseur important de ce processus évolutif<br>Our work proposes a sociological approach of the process of identity reorganization in Brazil during Lula's period. We consider that this era leads a reconstructive dynamics of slave past determined by new conditions of emergence of the memories. This, drives to the construction of a new memory “ frame “, of a substitution of the idea of Brazil crossed in an interbreeding according to the Brazilians, the cultural assimilation of the afro-descendants of which is the very pillar, through the idea of a Brazil made by an ethnic diversity.The main question to which we shall try to bring some elements of answer through this study is the following ones: what are the impacts of the Affermative Actions policy on the memory and identical transformations made up in Brazil during this Lula's time ? In order to seize more easily our object of study and test our hypothesis, we chose to study four fields of analysis : the analysis of the Brazilian historiography of the slavery; the analysis of the production of new perspectives on the visible past, during the years Lula, through two brazilian news-papers; the discussions with social players, considered here as “ architectes actors”, considerated as the Brasilian Affirmative Actions; and to finish, questionnaires sent to cotistas students of the higher Education. Conforming to the problem set down in our research, we consider that three theses can be followed. At first, elements of an internal dynamics represented by the fight of the Black Movements inside the country, and external, strongly pushed by the requests of the globalization, contributed to the fact that the slave past becomes the objet of the public action. Then, the memory of brazilian slave past is the object of an important evolution since the adoption of the policy of Affermative Actions in the country. Those policies promote a new social frame of the memory processes from the emergence of a new signification of the past. And finally, the memory transformations made during Lula's time, influence, in a significant way, the Brazilian identity and determine the recognition of the ethnic diversity of the country. Beyond this process, the appropriation by the Afro-Brazilians of a national identity, seems to us to be an important catalyst of this process

Hylton, Richard. "A labour of love : the politics of presenting contemporary art as part of commemorations to mark the United Kingdom's bicentenary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, 1807-2007." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2018. http://research.gold.ac.uk/24371/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the role played by contemporary art in commemorations organised to mark the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade in 2007. It argues that, besides representing an unprecedented commemorative event, it was also indicative of how certain political, social and cultural practices around ‘race’ and multiculturalism, under New Labour, assumed a hitherto unseen level of prominence and institutional validation. Centred on a number of key exhibitions and other commemorative material and programmes produced for the bicentenary, the study explores themes relating to Black Britain, inclusion politics, national remembrance and commemoration, British history, artistic intervention, institutional critique, the role of Black artists, public collections, contemporary African art and the ethnographic museum. The study draws on and examines a range of discourses and practices involving government, funding agencies, galleries, museums, journalists, researchers and historians. This study contends that rather than being merely a moment of reflection and celebration of multiculturalism, the bicentenary’s contemporary art programme epitomised, in microcosm, the problematic ways in which skewed notions of diversity were normalised in British society. The conclusion also considers the wider influence and implications of the bicentenary regarding ongoing discourses and practices in Britain about the relationships between slavery, history and contemporary art.

Abstract:
This dissertation uses a functional systemic approach to language to examine the construction of the respective first-person narrators of nine of the most popular, commercially successful and therefore influential African American slave narratives published between 1837 and 1862 (Roper, Grandy, Douglass, Brown, Bibb, Northup, Ball, Jacobs, Picquet). This corpus of more than 410,000 words was scanned for various linguistic features such as transitivity of verbs, nominalizations, and several syntactic features. The texts chosen differ as to their methods of production. Some of them were written by the first person narrators themselves, while others were either extensively edited, dictated to an amanuensis, or in some other way controlled. The dialectics of creation and representation through language results in the leading question in this study: how do the first-person slave narrators identify and create a personality for themselves through their texts? This dissertation thus focuses on the linguistic means by which the first-person slave narrator creates what is defined as a “discoursal self”, which helped the narrators to achieve one of their most important goals, namely, to be accepted as reliable. The dissertation consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 introduces a sociohistorical account of slavery, resistance against slavery, abolition, and the development of the slave narrative. The chapter shows that the African American slave narrative was not a completely new and original genre but an amalgamation of a variety of preexisting white and black literary forms. The second chapter is more theoretical and deals with discourse, power, and ideology in the slave narrative. Chapter 3 approaches the language of the slave narrative. The small corpus of scholarly texts that tackle language and style in this genre is reviewed. As an alternative to these approaches, critical discourse analysis (CDA) according to Norman Fairclough is suggested. It eliminates the a priori categorization of specific linguistic features as stylistically significant, because it is based on a functional view of language that perceives linguistic expression as choice on various levels. Every choice is considered meaningful and, according to its presence, absence, or clustering in a given co-text, potentially stylistic. Michael Halliday’s systemic functional grammar is introduced as the basis for the ensuing text analysis. Chapter 4 introduces the first quantitative observations about the density and distribution of the first-person singular pronoun in the narratives. This characteristic is then placed in relation to syntactic condensation in the forms of ellipsis, finiteness and nominalization, all of which are reviewed quantitatively. Finally, this chapter introduces the system of transitivity according to Halliday, Matthiessen, and others. It explains the distinction between the individual process types and provides a quantitative overview of the individual transitivity profiles within each narrative. Chapter 5 represents the main part of this dissertation. Each of the nine narratives is analyzed individually as to the presence of the I-pronoun in the text and the use and distribution of process types. In this way patterns of foregrounded or favored usages against absences of others emerge and contribute to the discoursal selves that the individual narrators present/construct of themselves. These preferred usages in general as well as in their local distributions are examined in detail. The quantitative observations supply the basis for further qualitative analyses derived from a large number of examples from the texts. Thus it is possible to show that each of the narratives is linguistically unique, which results in an individual construction of the respective I-narrator. The use of pronouns, process types and syntactic reconfigurations reveals how control over the activities as well as over the text is constructed, which can be directly related to issues of power. The Summary provides a synopsis of the previous quantitative and qualitative analyses and associates the quantitative results with characteristics of written and oral texts in general. Finally, it thus becomes possible to rank the nine narratives on a cline between predominantly oral and chiefly written characteristics.

Abstract:
The aim of the present article is to investigate the aspectual status of the Russian verbs prodolzhat’ and prodolzhit’. It is shown that the form prodolzhal is very frequently used in the past tense as a perfective verb with inchoative value in sequences of single events. Furthermore, the diachronic analysis of the examples reveals that, in the past tense, the form prodolzhit’ until the 1990s was much less commonly used than the form prodolzhat’. Taking into account these results, in the article is hypothesized that the form prodolzhat’ in the past tense may be considered a biaspectual verb.

Abstract:
Regarding the historical present in Czech narrative the author proposes to distinguish three main modes: (i) the narrative present, which follows the same aspectual opposition system of the past tense narration mode; (ii) the tabular present, which neutralizes the aspectual opposition in favour of the imperfective aspect; (iii) the complementary distribution, which alternates past perfective and present imperfective. This assumption allows to reconsider the hypothesis of a trend to neutralize aspectual opposition in the historical present in Czech (Bondarko 1958).

The focus is mainly on spatial deixis offering interesting insights as far as the evolution of the Chakavian variety of Croatian across the past centuries is concerned. A statistical survey shows a significant difference between the old forms and the deictic system of modern Croatian. This kind of evolutionary development in the Croatian deictic system can be explained in terms of a semantic shift due to the obsolescence of the original proximal deictic se.

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractAddressing the boom of memorial events and special exhibitions as well as the establishment of the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool celebrating the bicentennial of the abolition of the slave trade in 2007, the conclusion of Familial Feeling returns to the question of ethics in dealing with the archive of slavery. Reflecting on methodology in literary studies by contrasting surface reading with approaches that foreground negative affects, Haschemi Yekani, via a recourse to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s “reparative” reading, proposes a queering of empathy that should not rest on a celebratory understanding of the past, as trauma overcome, but serve as a foundation of ongoing tension in contemporary narratives of familial feeling and national belonging. For this purpose, Haschemi Yekani examines the 2007 installation Swallow Hard: The Lancaster Dinner Service by artist Lubaina Himid. The author proposes that by engaging with the messy entanglements of marginalised and hegemonic voices in the establishment of Britishness as familial feeling, one can arrive at more complex reading strategies of the literary sources from the historical archive of the early Black Atlantic and the British novel as well as a less congratulatory contemporary memorial culture that seeks British “Greatness” in the past.

Abstract:
Co-authored by Stephen Mullen, Nelson Mundell and Simon P. Newman, this chapter uses the story of Jamie Montgomery, an enslaved runaway in Scotland, to illustrate the presence and predicament of escaped slaves in Britain during the eighteenth century, the majority of whom were male and either children or young adults (often trusted domestic servants). The authors draw upon the frequency of ‘for sale’ and escaped slave notices in newspapers to help document the routineness of slave trafficking within Britain from both the colonies and directly from Africa. They outline the life of Montgomery who was sold in Virginia to a Scottish merchant and sent to Scotland to apprentice as a joiner with an eye toward future resale at a profit. Several years later, after a taste of free life as a skilled carpenter and church member, he escaped while in the process of being forcibly returned to America. Montgomery was captured with the help of an escaped slave newspaper ad and died in jail. Like many young slaves separated from family and a black community and sent to work in the British Isles, the authors explain that relief from harsh plantation life and a chance at greater economic and political opportunities was tempered by the constant threat that they could easily be returned.

Abstract:
Here, Alan Rice offers examples of a black presence in Lancaster, the fourth largest slave port in England. These findings, often in the form of archival fragments, expose a hidden history and puncture the narrative of the city’s success based on myths of mercantile glory. Examples include a rediscovered pamphlet by ex-slave James Johnson recounting his wanderings throughout the region in search of employment during the Cotton Famine; the memorialization of Sambo, a young slave who died during a brief visit; the day-book of merchant Henry Tindall noting the arrival of a slave chaperoning two young white boys; unearthed baptismal records and runaway slave ads; and a macabre family heirloom—the mummified hand of a favored slave—eventually buried by a descendant of the slave-owning merchant family. Finally, Rice offers the finances of three prosperous Lancashire merchants (Thomas Hodgson, James Sawrey and Thomas Hinde)—all prominent in the slave trade—to show how the money they invested in the region’s economy which helped drive the industrial revolution, were funded by profits of the slave trade. Rice suggests that these evidentiary snippets of a black presence in Lancaster can be a pathway to uncovering even more and serve to illuminate the connection between the city’s development and the forced labor of enslaved people.

Abstract:
In manufacturing process, the indoor location information of physical object is an essential part in storage and transport link. The efficient perception of indoor location is able to significantly reduce the system load and also improves its real-time performance. In this paper, a novel RFID indoor localization algorithm using Master-Slave reference tags scheme (MSRT) is presented. The algorithm divides the sensing area into several subspaces with master reference tags to realize rough location. In each subspaces, slave reference tags are used to perform partial location. A set of experiments have been conducted and the results demonstrate that the proposed method can reduce system redundancy and server load without decrement of accuracy.

Abstract:
The master-slave topology, based on programmable logic controllers and their respective controlled equipment are often characterized by the use of intermediate devices called Master Stations that perform the interface between data processing and triggering unit, and are responsible for protocol conversion, data acquisition, priority setting, and management of slave devices. For the most part, these intermediate control devices are systems developed by manufacturers and process equipment suppliers themselves, more specifically in the control of large quantities of motorized valves in industrial plants. As a result, a project was implemented to implement control and supervision information exchange routines of the motorized valve system directly through the PLC / Supervisory System, eliminating the need for the use of intermediate control devices. The results show high simplification in the architecture by removing the Master Station and changing the network topology, attaining an overall cost reduction, and a great improvement on performance, by the higher communication speed levels, especially for decreasing the latency delays; lastly, control centralization into more robust equipment and network segregation of the valve system, turned it easier to diagnose failures, ensured operational continuity, reduced the statistic of failures and increased the reliability of the process.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the research carried out on the design of a robotized teleechography system. Such a system is composed of a master control device and a slave robotic manipulator. Our objective is to contribute to the French Agence National de Recherche (ANR) project PROSIT by designing both devices. To define the kinematic architecture, we had proposed an approach based on the analysis of the expert gesture as a first step of the design process. We have used a motion capture system to study the ultrasound examination gesture and to define the kinematic specifications for the proposed manipulator. A new kind of architecture was selected: the spherical parallel mechanism (SPM). We have chosen it because it reaches the constraint requirements. The kinematic architecture was synthesized by executing a real-coded genetic algorithm (GA). We integrated optimization criteria in the synthesis of the selected architecture. We have fixed a minimum required workspace and we have chosen to optimized the SPM in terms of dexterity and compacity. Another important part of our research was to design a haptic device to provide a very intuitive control of the tele-operated robot. We have opted for a free hand interface that integrates an active force control and feedback. An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) has been integrated. The data collected from the IMU that we integrated are processed by a Kalman Filter. But we have modified this predictor-estimator tool from the state of art to adapt its behavior with respect to the type of motion done by the operator. Experimentations via our motion capture system have demonstrated the accuracy of this orientation control strategy. The final step will be the experimental and clinical validation on real patients.
