Full textAbstract:
During the Philippine War, 1899 – 1902, America attempted to quell an uprising from the Filipino people. Four regular army regiments of black soldiers, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, and the Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Infantry served in this conflict. Alongside the regular army regiments, two volunteer regiments of black soldiers, the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth, also served. During and after the war these regiments received little attention from the press, public, or even historians. These black regiments served in a variety of duties in the Philippines, primarily these regiments served on the islands of Luzon and Samar. The main role of these regiments focused on garrisoning sections of the Philippines and helping to end the insurrection. To carry out this mission, the regiments undertook a variety of duties including scouting, fighting insurgents and ladrones (bandits), creating local civil governments, and improving infrastructure. The regiments challenged racist notions in America in three ways. They undertook the same duties as white soldiers. They interacted with local "brown" Filipino populations without fraternizing, particularly with women, as whites assumed they would. And, they served effectively at the company and platoon level under black officers. Despite the important contributions of these soldiers, both socially and militarily, little research focuses on their experiences in the Philippines. This dissertation will discover and examine those experiences. To do this, each regiment is discussed individually and their experiences used to examine the role these men played in the Philippine War. Also addressed is the role ideas about race played in these experiences. This dissertation looks to answer whether or not notions on race played a major role in the activities of these regiments. This dissertation will be an important addition to the study of the Philippine War, the segregated U. S. Army, and African American history in the modern period.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the experience of those involved in the typhoid fever outbreak at Camp Thomas, Chickamauga National Military Park, Georgia between April and August 1898. Among American volunteer soliders in the Spanish-American War, those stationed at this camp suffered the highest number of typhoid cases and deaths from typhoid. Treatments of the war have referred to the outbreak and some studies have examined it as part of wider subjects, but none from the standpoint of those involved, commanders, doctors, civilians, officers and enlisted men. The mobilized soldiers represented numerous states and reflected the disease experience of civilian society. The study considers the mobilization process, the disease outbreak and the aftermath.

Resumo: A Guerra Hispano-Americana (1898) aconteceu em decorrência da expansão imperialista dos Estados Unidos no momento em que sua industrialização crescia em ritmo acelerado. Eliminando os últimos resquícios da colonização espanhola no continente americano, Cuba e Filipinas foram os primeiros alvos de uma política agressiva dos nacionalistas estadunidenses para assegurar o slogan proposto pela Doutrina Monroe, "América para os Americanos". Nos principais centros urbanos dos Estados Unidos, a modernidade atingia a percepção dos indivíduos por meio da inovação tecnológica que dimensionava o tempo e o espaço, a velocidade da máquina mesclava o orgânico e o mecânico. Nas ruas, inúmeras propagandas visuais atordoavam os olhares, os jornais impressos traziam notícias sensacionalistas de interesses políticos e o comportamento dos cidadãos se padronizava através das revistas periódicas. Os vaudevilles, teatros de variedades, canalizavam essa sociedade caótica através da miscelânea de espetáculos e shows, o cinema se desenvolvia neste ambiente. Quando o conflito entre a Espanha e os Estados Unidos entrou em vigor, o cinema participou pela primeira vez de uma guerra, se misturando com todas as formas de comunicação do período e exercendo, de forma inédita, uma postura ativa na formação da opinião pública.

Abstract: The Spanish-American War (1898) happened as a result of the United States's imperialist expansion at the time its industrialization grew at a accelerated pace. Eliminating the last remnants of Spanish colonization in the American continent, Cuba and the Philippines were the first targets of an American nationalists's aggressive policy to ensure the slogan proposed by the Monroe doctrine "America for Americans". In the main United States's urban centers, modernity reached the individuals perception through technological innovation that dimensioned the time and the space, the machine's speed merged the organic and the mechanic. In the streets, countless visual advertisements stunned the looks, the printed newspapers brought sensationalist news of political interests and the citizens behaviour was standardized through periodic journals. The vaudevilles, variety theaters, channeled this chaotic society through the miscellaneous of performances and shows, the cinema was being developed in this environment. When the conflict between Spain and the United States came into effect, the cinema participated for the first time in a war, mingling with all forms of communication in the period and exerting, in an unprecedented way, an active posture in the public opinion formation. The following work compromises how was the participation of the films produced by the Edison Company and the American Biograph and Mutoscope, before this plot.

Full textAbstract:
In the three decades surrounding the Spanish-American war (1880-1910), three prominent Puerto Rican artists, Francisco Oller (1833-1917), Manuel E. Jordan (1853-1919), and Ramón Frade (1875-1954) created a group of paintings depicting "el jíbaro," the rural Puerto Rican farm worker, in a way that can be appropriately labeled "nationalistic." Using a set of motifs involving clothes, customs, domestic architecture and agricultural practices unique to rural Puerto Rico, they contributed to the imagination of a communal identity for creoles at the turn of the century. ("Creole" here refers to individuals of Spanish heritage, born on the island of Puerto Rico.) This set of shared symbols provided a visual dimension to the aspirational nationalism that had been growing within the creole community since the mid- 1800s. This creollismo mythified the agrarian laborer as a prototypical icon of Puerto Rican identity. By identifying themselves as jíbaros, Puerto Rican creoles used jíbaro self-fashioning as a way to define their community as unique vis a vis the colonial metropolis (first Spain, later the United States). In this thesis, I will examine works by Oller, Jordan and Frade which employ jíbaro motifs to engage this creollismo. They do so by painting the jíbaro himself, his culture and surroundings, the fields in which he worked, and the bohío hut which was his home. Together, these paintings form a body of jíbaro imagery which I will contextualize, taking into account both the historical circumstances of jíbaro life, as well as the ways in which signifiers of jibarismo began to gain resonance amongst creoles who did not strictly belong to the jíbaro class. The resulting study demonstrates the importance of the mythified jíbaro figure to the project of imagining Puerto Rican creole society as a nation, and the extent to which visual culture participated in this creative process.

Abstract
During the fourteen years between 1898 and 1912, the influences imparted upon the School System of Cuba were substantial. In the period immediately following the conflict with Spain, known in the U.S. as the Spanish American War, a concerted effort was underway to annex the island of Cuba. This study was undertaken to discover what courses were introduced into the K-12 curricula following the U.S. intervention, who introduced those changes, and what, if any influence those changes brought to the culture of the island. This investigation and analysis was necessary to reinvigorate the discussion regarding the history of the Cuban education system in view of the attempted cultural change brought about by the U.S. intervention. While many actions were underway by various factions both within the U.S. government and without to ensure that the annexation would be successful, one concerted effort was undertaken through the reconstruction of Cuba's schools. Changes that were made include: coursework, textbooks, structure of schools, selection process for teachers and professors at the University of Havana, holiday schedule, and the school-day and school-year. While the language of instruction remained Spanish, the method of delivery and training of Cuban school teachers was adapted through an extended summer Normal School program in association with Harvard University and a fulltime program at the New Paltz Normal School in New York. From the results collected regarding the coursework, individuals involved, and the changes imparted upon the culture of Cuba, it appears that a concerted effort was underway to impose a U.S.-styled school system on Cuba with the intended result of annexation of the island of Cuba by acclamation of the Cuban people.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Anglo-French perceptions of power within the context of the rise of the United States of America. It uses several overlapping events falling within a moment at the end of the nineteenth century (1898-1899) - the Spanish-American War, the Dreyfus Affair and the Fashoda crisis - to explore various British and French actors' perceptions of national power, decline, and international competition. It draws heavily on diplomatic material, but its methodology is primarily cultural. It examines ways in which various cultural assumptions affected perceptions of power and global events. It takes a particular interest in the relationship between ideas about gender and dimensions of national power. It focuses on contemporary preoccupations and assumptions, whether spoken or unspoken, and argues that they could prove determinative. External realities were refracted into perceptions that in turn drove prescriptions and policy. The thesis juxtaposes perspectives from multiple states, thereby contextualizing or comparing British, French and occasionally American preoccupations with those of their transatlantic contemporaries. It draws upon archival sources which previously have been under-examined or approached from different perspectives and research priorities. Its exploration of the cultural dimensions of thought about national power and success is grounded in an awareness of the analysis and actions of certain diplomats and politicians involved in the more practical business of international affairs. Conversely, diplomatic and other records are situated within their cultural milieu, to better understand the context in which views about the international order were shaped. The thesis necessarily makes excursions into the history of emotions, since its actors' political analyses at times appear entangled and aligned with their emotional responses. The thesis therefore serves as an example of an international history that integrates diplomatic with cultural and emotional elements and demonstrates their mutual illumination.

Full textAbstract:
In my dissertation, I study a selection of little known Spanish and Cuban texts published during the Cuban War of Independence at the end of the 19th century. In this project, I provide a transatlantic approach of literary texts in various genres and subgenres, and political messages exchanged between Cuba and Spain, which have been neglected by scholars in the field.
By analyzing the emergence of a colonial discourse in the works of novelists, politicians and thinkers who wrote about the Cuban-Spanish confrontation, I establish their ambiguous and frequently contradictory colonial messages. In doing so, this dissertation furthers our understanding of the complexities of the political moment as well as the interest and ideals that ignited the conflict.
The study is of great relevance in view of the recent agreements between the United States and Cuba. The relations between the two countries are evolving in a way that was unthinkable at the beginning of the 20th century. Furthermore, secessionist feelings within the Spanish nation are reemerging and similar allegations and demands that brought Cuba to independence are in place. For all these reasons, it is necessary revisiting and comprehending the complex and, frequently contradictory, discourses that emerged in a moment, which was determinant for the development and future political attitudes of the three nations involved.

Duplat, Alfredo. "Hacia una genealogía de la transculturación narrativa de Ángel Rama." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2484.
Full textAbstract:
Esta disertación conecta la teoría de la transculturación narrativa de Ángel Rama con la tradición intelectual latinoamericana que aportó sus características más distintivas. Las teorías de Rama fueron influidas por dos tradiciones latinoamericanas. Una es de carácter político y tiene su origen en la Reforma de Córdoba de 1918. La otra, de carácter epistemológico y se remonta a la década de 1930, cuando comienza el culturalismo en Latinoamérica. Mi investigación se ocupa de un grupo de intelectuales uruguayos que trabajaron en torno al semanario Marcha [1939-1974]: Carlos Quijano [1900-1984], Julio Castro [1908 -desaparecido en 1977] y Arturo Ardao [1912-2003]. También me ocupo de dos intelectuales brasileños, Antonio Cândido [1918] y Darcy Ribeiro [1922-1997], quienes continuaron con la tradición culturalista que inauguraron en Latinoamérica autores como Gilberto Freyre [1900-1987] y Fernando Ortiz [1881-1969]. Recuperar las redes intelectuales que acompañaron el proceso de articulación de la transculturación narrativa nos permite comprender mejor las tesis de Rama por dos razones. Primero, porque enmarca esta teoría dentro de algunos de los debates políticos y culturales más importantes de la Guerra Fría. Y segundo, porque se aproxima a la manera como Rama comprendió la historia latinoamericana y su coyuntura política y socio-cultural durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970.
El objetivo de la teoría de la transculturación narrativa es describir el proceso por el cual las manifestaciones literarias latinoamericanas pasan de la dependencia a la autonomía cultural. Como el proceso descrito se despliega dentro de la estructura social, para comprenderlo es necesario analizar la interacción entre las obras literarias y la sociedad que las rodea, de esta forma las ciencias sociales --antropología, sociología, economía-- son instrumentos de análisis indispensables para comprender una obra o tradición literaria. Este marco general de análisis es descrito por Rama como el culturalismo.
En el caso de Rama, una lectura desde los estudios literarios puede dar por sentado que el culturalismo fue tan sólo un método de análisis alternativo al estructuralismo francés. Aunque esta perspectiva sea en parte correcta, no es del todo precisa. El culturalismo al que se refiere Rama es el mismo que practicaron los cientistas sociales en Latinoamérica desde la década de 1930. Recuperar la historicidad de la transculturación narrativa no solo nos permite comprender la genealogía de esta teoría sino recuperar y hacer visibles algunas tradiciones intelectuales contra-hegemónicas que desarticuló la Guerra Fría en Latinoamérica.

Full textAbstract:
Lorsque William Randolph Hearst prit les rênes, en 1887, d’un petit quotidien sans envergure, personne ne fit grand cas de ce jeune nanti admiratif du travail de Joseph Pulitzer. Vingt ans plus tard, W. R. Hearst était à la tête d’un empire médiatique considérable et d’un pouvoir politique incontestable. Dans cet intervalle, les États-Unis, la presse, et William Randolph Hearst connurent des destins liés. Les États-Unis, d’abord, entrèrent de plain-pied dans ce qui allait devenir le siècle américain, avec leur puissance économique industrielle, et un statut de puissance coloniale acquis à la faveur de la guerre hispano-américaine en 1898. La presse, quant à elle, connut des bouleversements majeurs et une vigueur sans cesse alimentée par toujours plus de modernité. Hearst, enfin, construisit un parcours atypique, au point de rencontre entre médias et politique, couronné d’immenses succès comme de cuisantes défaites. Divertissant pour les uns ou effrayant pour les autres, il n’en porta pas moins les espoirs d’une frange encore silencieuse de la population, et fit de sa vie publique une histoire à rebondissements, non sans rapport avec le journalisme "jaune" qu’il érigea en éthique et en arme politique, malgré les critiques. Au-delà de la fascination, de la caricature, ou du jugement sans concession, le parcours médiatico-politique de Hearst mérite un réexamen qui prend en compte les transformations profondes de la société américaine. Sans le concours opportun de ces dernières, sa trajectoire n’aurait pas le même impact en tant que part significative, si ce n’est, sur bien des aspects, emblématique, du destin tumultueux de la nation américaine entre XIXe et XXe sièclesIn 1887, when William Randolph Hearst became the editorial head of a small daily in San Francisco, no one bothered to notice this well-off young man who admired Joseph Pulitzer’s work. Twenty years later he reigned over a gigantic media empire and held an unquestionable power in politics. In the meantime the paths followed respectively by the United States, the press and W. R. Hearst crossed many times. The United States fully entered what was to become the American Century as a prominent economic, industrial and colonial power, after the 1898 Spanish-American War. The American press underwent dramatic breakthroughs, and was vigorous as ever thanks to unceasing innovations and growing business-oriented practices. Hearst constructed an original career, at the crossroads of media and politics; he knew great successes, bitter defeats and disappointments. Entertaining to some, frightening to others, he was nonetheless the focus for the aspirations of a silent fringe of the population, and conceived his public life as a true story with twists and turns, similar to the stories accounting for the success of "yellow journalism" that constituted Hearst’s ethics and political weapon of choice, despite many criticisms. Beyond fascination, caricature or hasty judgments, his career deserves a reassessment that takes into account the changes affecting the core of American society. Without the help, intended or not, of those major transformations, Hearst’s adventure might not have left such a strong mark on his country’s history: a significant part of the bustling destiny of the United States at the turn of the XXth century, it is also, in many respects, an emblematic one

Print copy also available for check out and consultation in the University of Oregon's library under the call number: PS374.S714 H37 2004.The nineteenth-century American sentimental novel has only in the last twenty years received consideration from the academy as a legitimate literary tradition. During that time feminist scholars have argued that sentimental novels performed important cultural work and represent an important literary tradition. This dissertation contributes to the scholarship by placing the sentimental novel within a larger context of intellectual history as a tradition that draws upon theoretical sources and is a source itself for later cultural developments. In examining a variety of sentimental novels, I establish the moral sense philosophy as the theoretical basis of the sentimental novel's pathetic appeals and its theories of sociability and justice. The dissertation also addresses the aesthetic features of the sentimental novel and demonstrates again the tradition's connection to moral sense philosophy but within the context of the American elocution revolution. I look at natural language theory to render more legible the moments of emotional spectacle that are the signature of sentimental aesthetics. The second half of the dissertation demonstrates a connection between the sentimental novel and silent film. Both mediums rely on a common aesthetic storehouse for signifying emotions. The last two chapters of the dissertation compare silent film performance with emotional displays in the sentimental novel and in elocution and acting manuals. I also demonstrate that the films of D. W. Griffith, especially The Birth of a Nation, draw upon on the larger conventions of the sentimental novel.

Full textAbstract:
Like most wars, the Spanish-American War had its heroes: the heroes who rescued Cuban prisoner Evangelina Cisneros, the heroes who gave aid to starving, suffering Cubans, and the heroes who investigated the possibility of a sinister element in the mysterious explosion of the battleship Maine. Even the yellow press could be construed as a hero since its leaders spared no expense in sending reporters to Cuba to capture the events leading up to the Spanish-American War for the American public. Designed to explore the hero and the heroic in journalistic coverage of war, this thesis involved qualitative textual analysis of front-page newspaper stories published in New York City during the Spanish-American War. Using Joseph Campbell's power of the myth and the hero as a framework, this thesis explores three major themes: 1) the story of Evangelina Cisneros, 2) the desperate situation of the Cuban people, and 3) the sinking of the battleship Maine. The following research questions are explored: What events in the nine-month period leading up to the war call for heroic action? Who were the heroes according to the yellow newspapers of Hearst and Pulitzer? How did these yellow newspaper stories mirror Campbell's concept of the mythic hero and his/her heroic journey? The analysis shows that these articles answered the human need for excitement, for drama, for a hero, and the need to be a hero.Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Elliott School of Communication.
