Abstract:
The United Nations’ Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) received a mixed reception. Some commentators viewed it as setting important normative standards for the recognition of Indigenous human rights within the international law framework, whilst others have been critical of the declaration for unduly limiting the nature and scope of Indigenous rights (Anaya 2004; Churchill 2011; Davis 2008; Moreton-Robinson 2011; Pitty 2001; Watson and Venne 2012). Indigenous Nations’ Rights in the Balance: An Analysis of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples by Charmaine White Face (2013) makes an important contribution to this debate by methodically charting the key changes made during the passage of the declaration through the United Nations process and highlighting the significance of these changes for the recognition and realisation of Indigenous rights.

Abstract:
The question whether real money causes real output appears to be important for many economists working in the area of macroeconomics and, has been subjected to a variety of modern econometric techniques, producing conflicting results. One often applied method to investigate the empirical relationship between money and real activity is Granger causality analysis [Granger (1969)]. Using this approach, the causality question can be sharply posed as whether past values of money help to predict current values of output. This concept, however, should be clearly distinguished from any richer philosophical notion of causality [cf. Holland (1986)]. Present paper examines the relationship between money (both M1 and M2) and income (Real GDP) for 15 developing countries using a newly developed heterogeneous dynamic panel data approach.1 Sims (1972) postulated “the hypothesis that causality is unidirectional from money to income agrees with the post war U.S. data, whereas the hypothesis that causality is unidirectional from income to money is rejected”. Since then a voluminous literature has emerged testing the direction of causality.2 Some studies have tested the relationship between these variables and the direction of causality for a particular country using time series techniques [e.g., Hsiao (1979) for Canada, Stock and Watson (1989) for U.S. data, Friedman and Kuttner (1992, 1993) for U.S. data, Thoma (1994) for U.S. data, Christiana and Ljungquist (1988) for U.S. data, Davis and Tanner (1997) for U.S. data, Jusoh (1986) for Malaysia, Zubaidi, et al. (1996) for Malaysia, Biswas and Saunders (1998) for India, and Bengali, et al. (1999) for Pakistan]. Other studies have tested the above on a number of countries, for example Krol and Ohanian (1990) used the data for Canada, Germany, Japan and the U.K. Hayo (1999) using data from 14 European Union (EU) countries plus Canada, Japan, and the United States. More recently Hafer and Kutan (2002) used a sample of 20 industrialised and developing countries. This paper contributes to this later strand of the literature, which it extends in three directions. First, it employed a newly developed panel cointegration technique [Larsson, et al. (2001)], to examine the long-run relationship between money and income. Second, the study performs panel causality test, recently developed by Hurlin and Venet (2001), to explore the direction of causality between the said variables. Third, the important contribution of the present study is to test whether relationship between money and income is homogeneous or heterogeneous across countries.

Abstract:
Analisa os objetivos e propostas de organização da informação desenvolvidos pelo Movimento Bibliográfico e indica sua influência na Ciência da Informação. Esta pesquisa de natureza exploratória, realizada através de levantamento, revisão e análise bibliográficos, investiga o pensamento de Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana e Watson Davis, expoentes do Movimento Bibliográfico, no contexto da modernidade. O Movimento Bibliográfico caracterizava-se por sua pluralidade e buscava responder às alterações no mundo informacional decorrentes da modernidade. O movimento atribuía à informação a potencialidade de transformação dos indivíduos e, portanto, transformou o foco dos serviços de informação da preservação para o acesso, procurando organizar acervos em função de seus conteúdos. O desenvolvimento tecnológico contemporâneo ao movimento fez com que seus expoentes enfatizassem a aplicação de novas tecnologias ao processo de disseminação da informação, pois entendiam que este seria facilitado e agilizado. A Ciência da Informação herdou seu papel social parcialmente do Movimento Bibliográfico, objetivando a organização da informação para seu acesso, e compartilha com o movimento a perspectiva de emprego de alta tecnologia na disseminação da informação. O espírito do tempo no qual se originou o Movimento Bibliográfico levou ao aparecimento de um ideário comum que permitiu a elaboração de propostas similares, entretanto, não se descarta a influência mútua entre os indivíduos analisados na pesquisa. Apesar de sua especificidade histórica, o Movimento Bibliográfico compartilha com a Ciência da Informação o ideário informacional moderno e a relação deste com a cultura. Conclui-se que a cultura da informação contemporânea e aquela do movimento pesquisado apresentam diferenças, porém são culturas que se entrelaçam; muitos de seus problemas sendo semelhantes e necessitando soluções similares.
Analyses the objectives and proposals of information organisation developed by the Bibliographic Movement, and indicates its influence in Information Science. This exploratory research, accomplished through bibliographic survey, literature review, and analysis, investigates in the context of modernity the ideas of Bibliographic Movement exponents Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana, and Watson Davis. The Bibliographic Movement was characterized by its plurality, and aimed to respond to modernity\'s effects in the information world. The movement attributed to information the potentiality of individual transformation. Therefore, it changed the focus of information services from preservation to access, and pursued the organisation of collections according to its contents. The development of technology made the Bibliographic Movement exponents emphasise the application of new technologies to the process of information dissemination in order to facilitate and accelerate it. Information Science inherited its social role partially from the Bibliographic Movement, and aims at organising information so that it can be accessed. Information Science also shares with the movement the perspective of employing high technology to disseminate information. The Zeitgeist that gave rise to the Bibliographic Movement led to a common set of ideas and allowed the elaboration of similar proposals for the organisation of information. However, it is not discarded the probability of mutual influence between the individuals analysed. Despite its historical specificity the Bibliographic Movement shares with Information Science modern ideas and its relation to culture. It is concluded that the current information culture and the information culture of the Bibliographic Movement have differences, notwithstanding, they are entwined cultures and many of their problems are similar and need similar solutions

Abstract:
This thesis explores the cultural history of microfilm and microphotography during the period 1900–1970, thus contributing to the broader field of research on the history of 20th century information management in the era before digital technology. The aim is to study how microfilm repeatedly, in various contexts and over time, was described and perceived as a new medium. To this end the book examines and analyses the plans, dreams and visionary prognostics put forth by various historical actors with an interest in microfilm – using case studies situated at different junctures and periods (1904–1910, 1937, 1940–1952, 1950–1970), while also ranging geographically from the United States to Europe and Sweden. From a theoretical and methodological point of view the thesis seeks to understand the historical formation of microfilm by developing the notions of configuration and reconfiguration, employing a perspective which emphasizes the continuous ontological interplay and interdependence of materiality and discourse in the formation of media. Thus, at the empirical level, the analysis takes into account realized technological materialities as well as unrealized imaginary articulations, dreams and expectations integral to the configuration of microfilm within a broader culture of paperwork. As a result of this approach the study draws on scientific texts and articles in journals, as well as newspaper reports, commercial messages, ads, handbooks and various archival documents. The analysis reveals a close relationship between microfilm and experiences of entropy connected to information systems based on paper and paperwork. It is argued that, within the dreams and plans that are studied, the most important function of microfilm was to regulate noise, decay and disorder associated with the materiality of paper – through ordering, operating on and modifying the capacities of paper media. It is also noted that microfilm was perceived and articulated as a new medium over a long period of time, even though very little changed at the technological level. From a historiographical point of view, it is thus argued, microfilm can be characterized as a simultaneously continuous and discontinuous phenomenon, taking part in a history that unfolded through repetitions, returns and non-linear steps rather than along an uninterrupted, linear path.

Watson, William David. "The critical figure : negativity in selected works by Proust, Joyce and Beckett / William David Watson." Thesis, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/16502.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation represents an interpretation of the different forms of negativity in the modernist work that can be understood in terms of that which is unsaid, unsayable, or any other means of refusing to give an affirmative proposition regarding the world the work describes. It explores this negativity as both a representation of that which cannot be represented, and as an operational negativity, or negation, that takes part in the unmaking of the work's figures. The function of this negativity, as interpreted in Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past (1913-1927), James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) and Krapp's Last Tape (1959) by Samuel Beckett, is to rewrite the representations of the work. Negativity is then also understood as a transformation and conditioning of elements already present in the literary work, that lead to ambivalent and problematic representations in the work. In this sense, negativity can be understood as a form of rewriting of the work's representations. The interpretations of the works of Proust, Joyce and Beckett are guided by this understanding, as given in the introduction, of negativity. In the analysis of Proust's novel, in "The Unmaking of Proust: Negation and Errors in Remembrance of Things Past", this form of negativity is situated in relation to Proust's handling of epistemological questions and mimetic references to reality in his work. The analysis of Joyce's work in "The Wandering of Language in James Joyce's Ulysses" discusses his treatment of language and the origins of language as being characterized by a negation that increases the difficulty of the language, and attempts to negate its origins. Finally, in the analysis of Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape", in "Beckett, Proust, and the End of Literature", it is shown that negativity conditions both the reception of the influence of Proust by Beckett, and the play's attempt to suggest the end of writing. In conclusion the dissertation returns to the idea of negativity as a form of rewriting, and briefly indicates that the function of negativity in these novels can be understood as a form of invention.

Abstract:
William Watson (1917–2007), a Fellow of the British Academy, was a scholar whose contribution to the field of Asian art and archaeology was both multifaceted and far-reaching. He earned a scholarship to Gonville and Caius College at the University of Cambridge to read Modern and Medieval Languages (1936–1939), and it was at Cambridge that he met a fellow-student Katherine Armfield, whom he married in 1940. After World War II, Watson took up his first post in the arts in 1947, joining the staff of the British and Medieval Department of the British Museum. In 1966, he left the British Museum and moved to the Percival David Foundation of Chinese Art to become its Director and take up the professorship of Chinese Art and Archaeology at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. Watson travelled widely and often, and he became fascinated with the arts and language of Japan.

Abstract:
Ridley Scott decides to adapt Tristan and Isolde for his next film, with producer David Puttnam on board and a completed screenplay. In 1977 it is placed in development at Paramount. Scott sees Star Wars and is devastated to learn that the movie incorporated many of the ideas he had had for his project. 20th Century Fox puts Scott on a list of possible directors for Alien. Scott is selected and signs onto the dark science fiction/horror film. The movie concerns a beast aboard a spaceship that devours the crew members one by one. The remaining member, a strong and capable woman, manages to eliminate the monster. The visuals are complex, believable, and very scary. The film is a success and puts Ridley Scott on the Hollywood map. Scott next says yes to Dune, a major science fiction project, but his brother Frank dies of cancer at forty-five and Ridley Scott is emotionally unable to continue with the project. In 1975 he marries Sandy Watson, with whom he has a daughter, Jordan. Watson and Scott divorced in 1989.

Abstract:
David Watson presents a thoughtful and cogent account of the life and legacy of the Spanish exile Federico Arcos whose career in many ways crossed paths with all the themes related to the evolution of anarcho-syndicalism covered in this book. Arcos grew up in Barcelona and fought in the Spanish Civil War. He immigrated to Canada in 1952 and later participated in anarchist groups in Detroit. He devoted much of his life in the United States to collecting anarchist materials, and his efforts at collecting were vital to maintaining a record of what would otherwise be permanently lost. The bulk of his archives are located at the National Library of Catalonia (Biblioteca de Catalunya).

Abstract:
His words hovered in my mind for months, then boomeranged with painful irony. What he said over lunch held the future in a horrible way that neither of us could grasp at the time. His words foreshadowed a tragedy that would injure him and implicate our schizophrenic culture. At the time, the prophetic words were innocent of the shadowy terrorist the FBI calls “the Unabomber.” Lunch was at a Sheraton Hotel on the second day of a national conference on virtual reality held in Washington, D.C., December 1-2, 1992. I had organized the conference for the Education Foundation of the Data Processing Management Association, and Professor David Gelernter was the keynote speaker. I had been looking forward to talking with him, and lunch seemed a perfect opportunity. The Yale computer scientist had invented the Linda programming language and had also written eloquently about the human side of computing. I knew him not only as a writer but also as a friendly reader of my books. I looked forward to an exchange of ideas. Our conversation moved from pleasantries to questions about how to humanize the computer. Several of David Gelernter’s sentences imprinted themselves on my memory and later played back to me in ways I could not—would not—have imagined: “We are on a social collision course,” he warned. “One portion of our population is building computer systems—the software cathedrals of this era — while another portion grows increasingly alienated from computers. This situation holds the greatest danger of a cultural collision.” Here was a premonition about the cyberspace backlash. Seven months later, on June 24, 1993, David Gelernter opened a mail package on the fifth floor of the Watson computer science building at Yale, and the package blew up in his face. The office was in flames, and David barely escaped. He staggered to the campus clinic, arriving just in time to save his life. The permanent injuries he suffered from the mail bomb included a partially blinded right eye, damage in one ear, and a maimed right hand.

Abstract:
Drawing on Gary Watson’s seminal work on responsibility, this chapter focuses on what he calls accountability. It distinguishes (in section 8.1), answerability from liability, and then concentrates on answerability, which operates, it argues (contra David Shoemaker), analogously in both moral and legal contexts. It discusses (in section 8.2) the way in which answerability requires us to attend to the capacities of the person whom we hold responsible, not just at the time of the conduct for which he is now being held responsible, but at the time of the holding. In section 8.3, it then attends to some implications of the requirement that when we hold someone answerable, we must be ready to listen to their answer. Finally, in section 8.4, it tackles the issue of standing: what gives us the right to call another person to account; and what can undermine that standing—with what implications?

Abstract:
My paper considers how Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys conceived of their heritage in their memoirs along with the effect of their life-writing upon their literary legacies. Focusing on Woolf’s “A Sketch of the Past” and Rhys’s Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography, I consider the catalysts for their autobiographical impulses and how they shaped their lives on the page. What aspects of their heritage do Woolf and Rhys include, rework, veil, or perhaps suppress? Can their life-writing and concepts of heritage be classified in any particular way? Given the imbalance between the number of biographies and critical books and articles on Woolf as compared to Rhys, I then consider whether “Sketch” and Smile Please might be said to play a role in each woman’s legacy. To what degree does their life-writing determine their status within the academy? Does it influence the courses we teach and the articles we write—as well as those that get published? Does a certain kind of life-writing provide greater fodder than another for biography and literary criticism? In exploring such questions, I turn to autobiography theory: Smith, Watson, Benstock, Marcus, and Friedman, for example, along with work on Woolf, Rhys, and memoir by Dahl, Dalgarno, Johnson, Sellei, and Zwerdling. I also discuss David Plante’s most ungracious memoir of working with Rhys on her autobiography. In sum, I believe “A Sketch of the Past” and Smile Please can serve as fruitful gateways into both the heritage and legacy of Virginia Woolf and Jean Rhys.
