Abstract:

English<br>Ph.D.<br>Intricate Fictions: Cartography and the Contemporary African Novel examines the relationship between narrative and mapping practices in recent African novels. Considering the continent's well-documented history as a site of cartographical projection, I ask how its literary output remaps this space in the years following colonial rule. This project responds to calls for increased attentiveness to space in African literature, employing an interdisciplinary methodology that puts critical cartography into conversation with African literary criticism and globalization studies.

Abstract:

This paper asserts the existence of the African American middle class novel as a genre in the African American literary tradition that has heretofore been neglected by literary critics. The premise of this argument is that conventional African American literary studies privilege novels concerned with the African American folk to the exclusion of portrayals of African Americans of middle and upper socio-economic class and cultural groups. A study of the Modem Language Association's catalogue of African American criticism and a review of novels widely accepted as representative of African Americ

African American Studies<br>Ph.D.<br>This study examines the role of African novelists as major sources of historiography of Africa, and the socio-cultural experience of its people. Although many African novelists have over the years reflected issues of social and political significance in their works, only a few scholarly works seem to have addressed this phenomenon adequately. A major objective of this dissertation then is to help fill this gap by explicating these issues in the fiction of Chinua Achebe, a great iconic figure in African Literature.

Abstract:

Avian poxviruses are important pathogens of both wild and domestic birds and exhibit a large degree of intragenus diversity at a genomic level. These viruses are known to differ in growth characteristics (in vitro and in vivo), virulence, and cross-protection, with little known about the genomic contributions to these differences. Only six isolates from subclades A and B and one from proposed subclade E have had their genomes completely sequenced. These genomes have been shown to exhibit typical poxvirus genome characteristics with conserved central regions and more variable terminal regions,

Abstract:

Investigators have shown that elephants exhibit consistent individual differences in behavior by rating elephants using personality adjectives. These adjectives, however, are not based on pre-defined measurements of the behaviors performed. Instead, they are based on the observers’ interpretations of an animal’s behavioral patterns, therefore making them subject to observer bias. Furthermore, elephants have a capacity for learning; thus, they may alter their behavioral patterns over time. This behavioral plasticity in itself might be a way of measuring consistent behavioral differences among i

Majorities of informal households lack access to grid-electricity and consume local energy sources for their energy needs. There are ongoing government efforts directed to miti

Abstract:

Insecticide resistance in malaria vectors is increasing across Sub-Saharan Africa, due, at least in part, due to the scale up of vector control programmes implemented to overcome morbidity and mortality associated with malaria. Four classes of public health insecticides are widely utilised in vector control strategies such as indoor residual spraying and insecticide treated nets; pyrethroids in particular are heavily used being the only class licensed for bed net usage. Despite the increase in resistance to these insecticides, and the implications this has for malaria control, resistance mecha

Abstract:

My dissertation interrogates Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s representation of African women in her literary oeuvre. I argue that her female characters bear witness to intersecting oppressions of African women portraying them as being extremely marginalized at home and lacking achievable alternate homes. This study also interrogates Adichie’s feminist philosophy and posits that she typically agitates for equality for all regardless of sex, gender, race, and/or other defining identities. Lastly, I argue that Adichie uses the practice of the African novel to rewrite the character of African women in

Abstract:

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei is the causative agent of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) and Nagana disease in mammals. These diseases present a major socioeconomic burden to large areas of sub-Saharan Africa. Current therapeutics involve complex and toxic regimens which can lead to fatal side-effects. In addition, there is evidence for drug resistance emerging in the field. Hence, there is a desperate need for novel therapies.

African trypanosomiasis is a protozoan infection affecting tens of thousands of people and millions of livestock animals across sub-Saharan Africa. In humans the disease is fatal without chemotherapeutic intervention and in animals it causes a severe anaemia that greatly impairs productivity. Available drug compounds are difficult to administer and unacceptably toxic. A natural product, ascofuranone, inhibits a key trypanosome specific respiratory enzyme, trypanosome alternative oxidase, and was shown over a decade ago to be trypanocidal using both in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Abstract:

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is an important pest of cruciferous crops worldwide. The prolonged use of synthetic chemical insecticides as a primary means of control has resulted in the development of resistance in pest populations. In addition, the pest has also evolved resistance to the bacterial insecticidal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis which is also widely used as a method of control. Baculoviruses are considered as effective alternatives to conventional methods of control when incorporated into integrated pest management (IPM) programmes.

Abstract:

In the first three decades since the granting of political independence to France's former African colonies, the novel form has been appropriated by postcolonial authors and articulates the possibility of a new relationship between the centre and the former margins. Fictional narrative has become central to the (re-) negotiation of power, authority, class and gender in a postcolonial African society. This thesis is a socio-historical study of selected texts which examines the re-writing of the African past and the appropriate of narrative voice by the inhabitants of marginal sites. Close readi

Abstract:

This thesis examines representations of the French educational system in Senegal as presented in L'aventure ambiguë and L'appel des arènes. Each unfolding respectively within a colonial and postcolonial Senegalese context, the novels problematize the French school system by incorporating representations of its failures. As this thesis will argue, analyzing each author's educational discourse will unmask a Senegalese perspective on a French institution, showcase various ways that Senegalese students internalized their educational experience and provide representations of the ways in which Fre

Abstract:

The main preoccupation in this thesis is to illustrate that, although there is no doubt that the missionaries deserve all the praise that they have been showered with, for their role in the development of Xhosa literature, there is a sense in which they can be said to have contributed as much also to its underdevelopment. It is my view that Xhosa literature has had a very unfortunate history, because of having an origin that is located in the history of Christianization. This history has haunted Xhosa literary creativity from its early beginnings to the present. The success of the mission to c

Abstract:

Makala hii inachambua riwaya ya pili ya mwandishi maarufu wa Kiswahili, Euphrase Kezilahabi (*1944) iitwayo Kichwamaji (1974). Inajaribu kuzingatia mikondo miwili ya uchambuzi yaani inajadili kwa ufupi nadharia ipi au mkondo upi wa kimawazo unafaa zaidi katika kuichambua riwaya hiyo: udhanaishi au ufeministi. Je, inawezekana kuunganisha yote mawili?<br>In this essay, I would like to analyse the novel Kichwamaji (‘Empty-head’; 1974) by the well-known Tanzanian writer Euphrase Kezilahabi against the background of two philosophical theories: existentialism and feminism. I will first discuss exist
