The work is about the formal equality before the material inequality on the domestic labour relation. Although the domestic employees are entitled of minimally fundamental rights to a worthy life, the constant human rights violations reveals that the conquest of equality still appears distant regarding the acknowledgment and respect from the society towards this segment. But why is so hard to secure the rights of the domestic employees? On a search to comprehend such fact, the research starts from the premise that the domestic employee is devalued for being a conflict point for class, gender and race discrimination, and also not considered a profit generating activity. This discrimination that affects the domestic labour is due to a historical, social and legal construction, therefore, firstly, the social and historical contexts regarding the emergence of the domestic class is analyzed, as well as the legal posture adopted referring the job, including the international level, trough the analysis of the 189th Convention from the International Labour Organization. Promptly, the work brings the conception for the equality principle and demonstrates, trough a gender perspective, that the domestic labour is much discriminated due to social residue from slavery and patriarchate, besides being an easy target for the capitalist exploitation. Beyond this, registers the peculiarity of the domestic labour not relying on a supervision system due the home inviolability principle, as well as the difficulty of producing proof on an eventual court litigation. At last, the study confronts the present scenario of the domestic labour in Brazil with the principles of human dignity, citizenship and the social value of work; and analyzes how the instruments from the affirmative actions are being used by the State on the combat agains inequality of this labour relation. The research concludes that the acknowledgment of ratified rights when confronting the inequalities have not produced any effects, as this occupation is widely socially devalued. This way, the implementation of actions aiming to promote a decent work for this category is indispensable, consisting on an important tool to include these historically excluded individuals. For this research there were used, essentially, the historical and bibliographic methods. The pertinence for this study advent from the rising debate around the legal regulation of the domestic employees which involves thousand of women.
O trabalho trata da igualdade formal ante a desigualdade material na relação empregatícia doméstica. Embora os empregados domésticos sejam detentores dos direitos mínimos fundamentais para uma vida digna, as constantes violações de direitos humanos revelam que a conquista da igualdade ainda se mostra distante quanto ao reconhecimento e respeito da sociedade por esta categoria. Mas por que é tão difícil assegurar os direitos dos empregados domésticos? Em busca de compreender tal fato, a pesquisa parte da premissa que o emprego doméstico é desvalorizado por ser ponto de embate de discriminações de gênero, raça e classe, além desta atividade não ser considerada geradora de lucro. Essa discriminação que afeta o trabalho doméstico é fruto de uma construção histórica, social e jurídica, por isso, primeiramente, analisam-se os contextos social e histórico do surgimento da classe dos domésticos, bem como, os posicionamentos legais adotados referentes à profissão, inclusive no plano internacional, através da análise da Convenção 189 da Organização Internacional do Trabalho. Seguidamente, o trabalho traz a concepção do princípio da igualdade e demonstra, através da perspectiva de gênero, que o trabalho doméstico é bastante discriminado devido aos resíduos sociais da escravidão e do patriarcado, além de ser um alvo fácil para a exploração capitalista. Além disso, registra-se a peculiaridade do trabalho doméstico não contar com um sistema de fiscalização do trabalho devido ao princípio da inviolabilidade domiciliar, bem como, a dificuldade na produção de provas em eventuais litígios trabalhistas. Por derradeiro, o estudo confronta o atual cenário do trabalho doméstico no Brasil com os princípios da dignidade da pessoa humana, da cidadania e do valor social do trabalho; e analisa como os instrumentos das ações afirmativas estão sendo utilizadas pelo Estado no combate às desigualdades desta relação de trabalho. A pesquisa conclui que o reconhecimento de direitos positivados no enfrentamento das desigualdades não tem operado efeitos, na medida em que, esta profissão é bastante desvalorizada socialmente. Deste modo, imprescindível se faz a implementação de ações que visem promover o trabalho digno para esta categoria, que consiste em uma importante ferramenta na inclusão de indivíduos historicamente excluídos. Para a pesquisa foi utilizado, essencialmente, o método bibliográfico e histórico. A pertinência para o estudo adveio do crescente debate que gira em torno da regulamentação jurídica das empregadas doméstica e que envolve milhares de mulheres.

Texto completoResumen
In Western scholarship, eighteenth century Chinese paintings have consistently been seen as playful, eccentric, and odd. This characterization has been based on the formal qualities of some of the paintings. At the same time, Chinese scholars have written of the scholarly virtues and ambitions of the painters producing the works. The contradiction between these two interpretations is in part consistent with the Western and Chinese approaches generally. But it also stems from the mixed signals and information generated in the eighteenth century. The nature of painting, not just formally, but socially has yet to be explained in a way which takes into account some actual historical contradictions of the eighteenth century.
In order to explain these historical tensions, I combine a biographical (Chinese) approach with a contextual approach (Western) in a study of two different scholar painters, Zheng Xie and Li Shan. I juxtapose biographical sources with artworks, and less official writings relating Zheng Xie and Li Shan, in order to describe the tensions involved in painting for the literatus within the merchant culture of Yangzhou.
These tensions existed between the literatus' expected status and that granted him, between his ideal of the role of painting in the scholar's life and the implications of commercial painting, and between his emphasis upon poetry
and his popularity as a painter. In all cases, the tensions in eighteenth century literati painting arise from the difficult relationship between the painter and patron, and between the painter and the ideas of a broader public. The lack of a clear definition of "scholar" and "scholar painting" amongst literati illustrates the literatus' loss of control over the definition of his lifestyle.Arts, Faculty of

Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines the participation of Armenians in the shari'a courts of the Ottoman Empire from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Scholars have traditionally thought that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire resolved their disputes within their own communities' legal systems. However, new studies of Ottoman court records reveal that Armenians in the Ottoman Empire frequently used the shari'a courts to resolve a wide variety of disputes. There are several possible reasons to account for this frequent shari'a court use by a community that theoretically had its own courts. The first is that the Armenian millet's legal structures were perhaps exaggerated or misunderstood by previous scholars. The second is that Islamic law was not as unfavourable to dhimmis as presumed and that the shari'a courts were adequate for their needs. Finally, the way the courts applied Islamic law was sometimes advantageous to certain dhimmis.

Texto completoResumen
This dissertation analyzed the flourishing of imitative versions of Heloise and Abelard's love correspondence in France in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Current theoretical approaches on epistolarity, narratology, cultural and gender studies were applied to focus on the various transformations (rewriting, veiling, fragmenting) of Heloise's epistles as they fell into the hands of (mostly male) imitators. Close textual analysis was used to investigate how the multiple (re)visions of her epistolary discourse and persona over two hundred years may be indicative of, and have helped construct, ideological changes in expectation concerning the role of women. The introduction traced the historical evolution of the epistolary novel, and the genesis of the lovers' legend in the Classical Age. The medieval love correspondence was initially considered with an analysis of Heloise's dialogic discourse in which the passion is veiled in the palimpsest that is visible under the spiritual language. Particular emphasis was placed on the possibility that Abelard may have altered her epistles as he ignored her desire to see to her salvation. Yet, Abelard was not the only man to intervene in Heloise's epistles. Other subsequent authors practiced what Miller calls "pseudo-feminocentrism" or female impersonation, the technique by which a male author infringes in a "woman's" literary production. In the seventeenth century, many male authors committed a travesty as they invaded Heloise's missives. Grenaille was the first translator to reconstruct Heloise as "La Magdalene Francaise". After this penitent revision of Heloise's persona, Alluis and Bussy-Rabutin effaced her body and reinvented her as a seductive "precieuse". In the eighteenth-century verse translations, Pope and Colardeau also took over Heloise's site of writing, reconstructing her as irrational. But another Enlightenment translator, Louise de Keralio, attempted to repair the learned Heloise, and in the nineteenth century, another woman, under the pseudonym, Marc de Montifaud recovered the erotic body that had been covered by male revisionists before her. The study of these translations over the centuries has demonstrated that Heloise's missives became the site of an ideological "querelle des femmes", and an attempt at constructing "woman".

The dissertation investigates and describes the pronominal clitics of the Old Lithuanian (forms m(i), t(i)). It also provides a detailed inventory of these forms. On the basis of the collected material, declensional meanings of pronominal clitics are evaluated, the position of the forms in a sentence is defined as well as their position in respect of the word to which the pronominal clitic is adjacent. An overview of the evolution of pronominal clitics and the changes of their usage is adduced.
The theoretical part of the paper discusses the typological parameters and researches of clitics, as well as the verbal and the second position clitics, and the evolution of multi-language systems of pronominal clitics – an intermediate position between the verbal and the second position clitics. The types of the positions in a sentence of the first and the second person pronominal clitics in the Old Lithuanian are determined.
The investigative part of the thesis adduces the usage of the patterns of pronominal clitics in the Lithuanian texts of the 16th-18th centuries, analyzed in detail, in chronological order and according to individual authors. A lot of information about the evolution of the pronominal clitics and the changes of their usage is given on the basis of the editions of different periods of the same text or a set of texts.
Among the other conclusions of the thesis, it is noted that the evolution of the pronominal clitics of the Old Lithuanian is typologically similar to...

Nustatomi lietuvių kalbos senųjų raštų pirmojo ir antrojo asmens klitinių įvardžių pozicijos sakinyje tipai. Tiriamojoje darbo dalyje chronologiškai ir pagal atskirus autorius išsamiai analizuojama lietuvių XVI—XVIII a. raštų klitinių įvardžių vartosena. Nemažai duomenų apie klitinių įvardžių raidą, vartosenos pokyčius teikiama remiantis to paties teksto ar tekstų rinkinio skirtingų laikotarpių leidimais. Be kitų disertacijos išvadų, pastebėta, kad senosios lietuvių kalbos klitinių įvardžių raida yra tipologiškai artima slavų kalboms. Panašiai kaip jose, lietuvių kalbos senuosiuose raštuose klitiniai įvardžiai rodo stiprią tendenciją eiti greta veiksmažodžio lyčių, nors yra atvejų, kuriuos galima vertinti ir kaip atitinkančius archajišką Wackernagelio poziciją.

Texto completoResumen
Lacquer, as a medium for artistic expression, was not readily chosen by Persian artists before the late Safavid period. It was during the Qajar period that delicately painted miniatures on various surfaces drew the attention of the European market to the talent of Persian artists. Although some well known scholars have devoted their time to document artefacts from this period, a systematic study of the techniques and stylistic developments has not yet been produced. The purpose of this thesis is to fill this gap. Qalamdans, mirror cases, book covers and enamels painted by both well known and less well known artists were selected and compared and, with the aid of comparative material, a chronology of stylistic development was established. Attention has been paid to the way artists related to the various surfaces to be decorated, their handling of figural representations, floral depictions and other naturalistic elements, and the influence of the Islamic heritage on the choice of subject matter. The qualitative treatment of large surfaces, such as canvas or walls, and small surfaces, such as qalamdans, book covers and mirror cases was strikingly different. While the figural representations which are depicted on small surfaces and based on foreign models are both delicate and dynamic, those based on live models, such as the ruler or patron or even battle scenes, appear to be stiff. The treatment of perspective is also notably different. It is virtually absent in large pictures, but invariably present on qalamdans and mirror cases. The European influence is discernable in most of the paintings, but each artist introduced his individual approach to the stylistic execution of the subject matter. Artists on the whole preferred to keep the technique of colour preparation to themselves or to hand down the knowledge to their students orally. Interviews were conducted with a number of Persian artists who were willing to provide information about some of the techniques practised by their predecessors, thereby enabling us to gain a valuable insight into the methods used by artists in the Qajar period. Last, but not least, the historical environment and patronage which undoubtedly influenced artists also received considerable attention.

Texto completoResumen
Dans un rentier des terres arables des îles Shetland, écrit au début des années 1770, l’expression suivante apparut : « Les habitants des villages d’un même scattald sont appelés frères de scatt ». Ces quelques mots déclenchèrent une série de questions : qu’est-ce qu’un scattald ? Qu’est-ce que le scatt ? Qui sont ces frères de scatt ? Des recherches aux Archives Nationales d’Écosse et aux archives des îles Shetland ainsi que la lecture de travaux universitaires sur les questions des communautés, des communs, des coutumes, des systèmes de justice locale et sur la vie rurale à l’époque moderne conduisirent à l’écriture de cette thèse sur les communautés des îles Shetland au XVIIIe siècle. Ces communautés vivaient dans un contexte géographique particulier. Sans sous estimer le rôle de l’environnement local dans la vie des Shetlandais, cette thèse montre que celui-ci était plus un espace de possibilités que de restrictions ; il apportait des contraintes, mais tout autre environnement dans l’Europe moderne avait aussi ses limites. La vie dans les îles Shetland était, comme n’importe où en Écosse à la même époque, fondée sur les ressources locales et le développement de l’économie de marché apporta ses avantages et ses inconvénients aux habitants. Dans les îles Shetland, l’économie de marché entraîna le développement des tenures à poissons avec leurs contrats particuliers de métayage.Pour comprendre ces communautés, la thèse s’ouvre sur la manière dont elles étaient régulées. Les lois, les cours et le personnel judiciaire avaient tous un rôle à jouer dans le contrôle social des membres des communautés. Cette thèse explore aussi les activités des membres des communautés dans leur environnement. Les îles Shetland comme de nombreuses régions du nord-ouest de l’Europe à la même époque, étaient un espace de pluriactivité. À travers la pluriactivité et l’accès aux communs, les communautés shetlandaises des scattalds gardèrent un certain niveau d’indépendance même à une époque où existait la servitude pour dettes. Cette relation particulière fut rendue possible par un accès presque illimité aux communs pendant tout le XVIIIe siècle, époque pendant laquelle les déplacements sur les communs étaient possibles et où la transmission de la mémoire de ses frontières restait vivante. Des changements eurent cependant lieu sur les îles Shetland à cette époque. Les tenures à poissons ne furent qu’un élément de ces changements : les femmes commencèrent à être plus nombreuses que les hommes, la taille des terres arables cultivées par foyer diminua, les communs protégés furent lentement grignotés, et la cour de justice régionale offrit plus de possibilités de justice aux plus hauts rangs qu’aux tenanciers… Finalement, cette thèse soutient qu’au XVIIIe siècle, les communautés locales shetlandaises offraient une protection aux femmes et aux hommes qui à travers elles avaient un système de soutien organiséIn a rental of the arable land of Shetland, written in the early 1770s, the following expression appeared: “The inhabitants of the Towns within the same Scattald are called scatt brethren.” These few words triggered a series of questions. What is a scattald? What is the scatt? Who are these ‘scatt brothers’? Research at the National Records of Scotland and at the Shetland Archives as well as the reading of academic literature on the questions of communities, commons, custom, local judicial systems and rural life in the early modern period led to the writing of a thesis on communities in the 18th century. These communities lived in a peculiar geographical context: the Shetland Islands. Without underestimating the role of the local environment in the life of the Shetlanders, this thesis shows that the surroundings of the Shetlanders were more a place of possibilities than a place of restrictions; it brought constraints, but any other surroundings in early modern Europe had its limitations. The life on the islands of Shetland was as anywhere else on mainland Scotland at the same period a life based on local resources and which saw the development of a market economy with its advantages and disadvantages for the inhabitants. In Shetland the market economy took the form of the fishing tenures with their specific share-cropping contracts.In order to understand these communities the thesis starts with how they were regulated. The regulations, the courts and their personnel all had a role to play in the social control of the members of the communities. This thesis also explores the activities of the communities’ members in their environment. Shetland as well as several regions in Northwest Europe at the same time was a place of pluriactivité, multi-tasking. Through multi-tasking and access to the commons, the scattald communities of Shetland kept a certain level of independence even in time of debt-bondage. This paradoxical relationship was rendered possible by an almost unlimited access to the commons throughout the 18th century, a time during which the movement on the commons were possible and the transmission of the memory of their boundaries stayed alive. Changes, however, happened on the islands during these times. The fishing tenures were only one element of these changes: women started to outnumber men, the size of the arable land cultivated by one household diminished, the protected commons were slowly nibbled, and a regional court offered more possibilities for justice to the higher ranks than to the tenants... Eventually, this thesis argues that local communities in 18th-century Shetland offered protection to women and men who through them had an organised support system

Texto completoResumen
This study explores the moral characteristics of late eighteenth-century Scottish culture in order to ascertain both its specific nature and its contribution to modern consciousness. It argues that, while the language of moral discourse in that socio-economic environment remained in large part traditional, containing aspects from both neo-Stoicism and classical humanism, it also incorporated and helped to develop an explicitly modern conceptual network. The language of sensibility as discussed by Adam Smith and adapted by practical Scottish moralists, played a key role in the Scottish assessment of appropriate ethical behaviour In a complex society.
The contribution of enlightened Scottish moralists to the language and literature of sensibility has been virtually overlooked, with a corresponding impoverishment of our understanding of some of the most important eighteenth-century social and cultural developments. Both literary scholars and social historians have made the mistake of equating eighteenth century sensibility with the growth of individualism and romanticism. The Scottish contribution to sensibility cannot be appreciated in such terms, but needs to be examined in relation to the stress that its practitioners placed upon man's social nature and the integrity of the moral community.
Scottish moralists believed that their traditional ethical community was threatened by the increased selfishness, disparateness, and mobility of an imperial and commercial British society. They turned to the cultivation of the moral sentiments as a primary mechanism for moral preservation and regeneration in a cold and indifferent modern world. What is more their discussion of this cultivation related in significant ways to the development of new perspectives on adolescence, private and domestic life, the concept of the feminine and the literary form of the novel.
Scottish moralists made a contribution to sentimental discourse which has been almost completely overlooked. Henry Mackenzie, Hugh Blair and James Fordyce were among the most popular authors of the century and their discussion of the family, the community, education, the young and the conjugal relationship was not only influential per se but also reflected a particularly Scottish moral discourse which stressed the concept of sociability and evidenced concern about the survival of the moral community in a modern society. To the extent that literary scholars and historians have ignored or misread their works, they have obscured rather than enlightened eighteenth-century culture and its relationship with the social base.Arts, Faculty of

Texto completoResumen
A 1998 joint survey undertaken by the Institute of Nautical Archaeology and Portuguese
authorities located and identified the sunken remains of the Royal Navy frigate HMS Pallas
(1757-1783) off of the Azorean island of São Jorge. Physical remains are so limited as to suggest
that excavation would likely yield little new information. However, much documentary evidence
has been preserved in Admiralty archives.
Contemporary treatises about 18th-century British ship construction focus on glossaries
of terms, scantling lists and design theory, and include only short sections on frigates insofar as
they apply to those topics. They rarely address specific construction aspects. Most current works
address individual aspects of ship construction for the period, but provide little significant detail
about the frigate as a ship type. All of these works are useful and reliable, however none attempt
to combine the ship with the crew, or pursue the complete history of one ship.
As the flagship of a prototypical class, intended to address French superiority in cruiser
design, it is reasonable to expect that a history of Pallas would exist with some analysis of how
successfully these new frigates fulfilled the Royal NavyÂs perceived need. However, to date
there has been no attempt to consolidate the evidence of her 26-year career. This study provides
a comprehensive history of a single ship from perceived need and conceived solution through
design and construction. The shipÂs logbooks and additional primary sources made it possible to accurately document and analyze Pallas activities, maintenance, modifications, and ultimately
to draw conclusions about the overall effectiveness of the frigate type.
I began with basic background information to establish the perceived need for a new
frigate type, followed by an examination of the conceived design solution. A partial set of
admiralty drafts served as a foundation from which to develop a more complete set of
construction plans, a spar plan, and rigging plans. Comprehensive research into life aboard Royal
Navy warships of the period provided a social context within which to examine the service
history of Pallas. Finally, a review of the maintenance record and the events leading up to her
sinking enabled an informed assessment of how well HMS Pallas fulfilled the perceived need
for which she was developed.

Findings from different disciplines were used to implement the goals of this work, with more attention given to archaeological investigations. Analysis and synthesis of investigative data allowed for achieving the goals set, for the formulation of new hypotheses and for defining groups of poorly studied Vilnius defensive heritage sites, which in turn allowed for a more comprehensive survey of the evolution of the Vilnius defensive concept. Some Vilnius defensive installations have still not been sufficiently investigated, making it problematic to define their parameters and inner and outer structures more precisely. It has to be admitted that the categorization as defensive installations of some of the sites discussed in the work is hypothetical. This work, the well-founded conclusions based on investigations drawn as well as hypotheses raised can provide a qualitatively new impulse to studies of the ancient defensive fortifications of the Lithuanian capital and the reconstruction of the urban development of Vilnius. Assessing the findings of the study, we can say that the growth of the city and evolution of defensive fortifications were intimately connected processes, therefore it would be appropriate in similar future studies to make use of as wide a data base as possible on old Vilnius.Šio mokslinio darbo tikslams įgyvendinti buvo pasitelkti įvairių mokslo šakų rezultatai, didesnį dėmesį darbe skiriant archeologinių tyrinėjimų rezultatams. Tyrimų duomenų analizė, apibendrinimas įgalino pasiekti užsibrėžtus tikslus, iškelti naujas hipotezes, išskirti iki šiol buvusias mažiau ištirtas Vilniaus gynybinio paveldo objektų grupes, o tai suteikė galimybę nuosekliau apžvelgti Vilniaus gynybinės koncepcijos raidą. Dalis Vilniaus gynybinių įrenginių vis dar yra nepakankamai gerai ištirti, todėl apibrėžti tikslesnius jų parametrus, tūrinę ir planinę struktūrą problematiška. Tenka pripažinti, kad dalies darbe aptariamų objektų priskyrimas gynybiniams yra hipotetinis. Šis darbas ir jame iškeltos tyrimų metu gautais faktais pagrįstos išvados bei hipotezės gali suteikti kokybiškai naują impulsą Lietuvos sostinės senovės gynybinių įtvirtinimų tyrinėjimams bei Vilniaus urbanistinės raidos rekonstravimui.

Sealy, Charles Scott. "Church authority and non-subscription controversies in early 18th century Presbyterianism". Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1792/.
Texto completoResumen
The practice of confessional subscription, or giving assent to a confession of faith through signing a formula of approbation, was the subject of debate among Presbyterian Churches in the early eighteenth century. While other studies have examined the local controversies, this thesis offers a comprehensive examination of the question of subscription and the connections between the debates among English Dissenters, in the Church of Scotland, the General Synod of Ulster, the Synod of Philadelphia and the Presbytery of Charleston. It identifies the common background and influences, especially in questions of ecclesiastical authority in the Church of England that preceded and greatly influenced the subscription controversy, which itself was essentially a debate over Church power. The discussions within the different Church bodies are reviewed with the connections between the bodies being highlighted. The debates began with the attempt to introduce subscription among English Dissenters leading to the Salters’ Hall Debate of 1719. Although there was not an open challenge to the Westminster Confession of Faith in the Church of Scotland, the tradition of subscribing inherited from emigrants and the involvement of ministers in correspondence with other Churches influenced the developments elsewhere. Next the development of Irish Presbyterianism from both English and Scottish traditions is shown followed by a discussion of the actual controversy in the General Synod of Ulster. In a chapter on the Synod of Philadelphia an interpretation of the American Adopting Act (1729) within the context of the international debate is offered. The closing chapter covers the much overlooked Presbytery of Charleston with insights from sources that have not previously been studied for that Church’s history.

Texto completoResumen
Violent behaviour can be seen all over the world and across time; it is also intrinsically linked to culture. As such, the analysis of skeletal material presents excellent physical evidence of violent occurrences within communities. The current thesis looks to understand the possible presence of fracture patterns and interpersonal violence in London during the 18th and 19th centuries by analysing the fracture patterns observed on six skeletal collections from the geographical area and characterised by various social and economic contexts. The contextualisation of each burial ground proved to be imperative to the research. The statistical results revealed that grouping collections together based on their socioeconomic status does not describe nor explain the fracture patterns seen in the collections considering that some did not emulate the characterisation implemented upon them by the media or City officials at the time. It also was found that the patrilineal society and the subsequent sexual division of labour had a profound effect on the results especially when comparing the prevalence of fractures between men and women. Therefore, this thesis provides a comprehensive overview of fracture patterns and the presence of interpersonal violence in regards to the different lifestyles and socioeconomic contexts found in London during the 18th and 19th centuries and how such behaviour affected the individuals’ daily lives.

Texto completoResumen
Anarchism is a political and socioeconomic force that has driven violent methods of social and political change for centuries. Relating Anarchism to these violent acts demonstrates a deep-seeded link to terrorism. Anarchism is one of the main forces behind modern day terrorism due to its long history alongside the ever evolving term terrorism. By connecting these two concepts, domestic terror groups can be better analyzed and understood, and future attacks from within the United States may be prevented.

Baker, Daniel Alexander. "Technologies of encounter : exhibition-making and the 18th century South Pacific". Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2018. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/13703/.
Texto completoResumen
Between 1768 and 1780 Captain James Cook led three epic voyages from Britain into the Pacific Ocean, where he and his fellow explorers- artists, naturalists, philosophers and sailors, were to encounter societies and cultures of extraordinary diversity. These 18th Century South Pacific encounters were rich with performance, trade and exchange; but they would lead to the dramatic and violent transformation of the region through colonisation, settlement, exploitation and disease. Since those initial encounters, museums in Britain have become home to the images and artefacts produced and collected in the South Pacific; and they are now primary sites for the representation of the original voyages and their legacies. This representation most often takes the form of exhibitions and displays that in turn choreograph and produce new encounters with the past, in the present. Drawing on Alfred Gell's term 'technologies of enchantment' my practice reconceives the structures of exhibitions as 'technologies of encounter': exploring how they might be reconfigured to produce new kinds of encounter. Through reflexive practice I critically engage with museums as sites of encounters, whilst re-imagining the exhibition as a creative form. The research submission takes the form of an exhibition: an archive of materials from the practice, interwoven with a reflective dialogue in text. The thesis progresses through a series of exhibition encounters, each of which explores a different approach to technologies of encounter, from surrealist collage (Cannibal Dog Museum) and critical reflexivity (The Hidden Hand), to a conversational mode (Modernity's Candle and the Ways of the Pathless Deep).

Texto completoResumen
Gegenstand dieser Studie ist eine Gruppe von acht Felsgräbern und zwei Schaftgräbern im Zentralbereich von Dra’ Abu el-Naga (Central Dra’ Abu el-Naga, CDAN) auf der thebaischen Westseite. Die Errichtung dieser Anlagen geht auf die Zeit des ägyptischen Neuen Reichs zurück, doch wurden sie über viele Generationen nach der Bestattung der ursprünglichen Grabinhaber weiter benutzt. Die Einleitung (Chapter 1) skizziert den Rahmen der Untersuchung und umfasst drei Teile: Zunächst werden Hintergrundinformationen zur geographischen Lage und physischen Gestalt des Fundareals geliefert. Schließlich werden Verlauf und aktueller Stand der Forschungen in CDAN skizziert. In folgenden Hauptkapitel (Chapter 2) werden die vom ägyptische Ministry of State of Antiquities (MSA) in dem Areal durchgeführten Ausgrabungen behandelt. Durch die Konzentration auf die Analyse der vorkommenden Architekturelemente und deren Einordnung in die in CDAN vorkommenden Stiltypen konnten unserem Wissen.
Im dritten Hauptteil (Chapter 3) setze ich mich mit den Überbleibseln und Spuren der antiken Bestattungsgebräuche auseinander, also in erster Linie mit Objektgruppen auseinander. Im Letztem Hauptteil (Chapter 4) Wiederbenutzung der Grabanlagen in späteren Perioden. Abschließen wird die Bedeutung der neu entdeckten Grabanlagen für den Gesamtkontext der Archäologie von CDAN beleuchtet. Dabei haben sich neue Erkenntnisse zu den spezifischen Verwendungen und Funktionen sowie Nachverwendungen monumentaler Bestattungen in CDAN ergeben – gerade auch dadurch, dass sich der Betrachtungszeitraum vom Neuen Reich bis zur Moderne erstreckte und so unser Blick für die vielfältigen Bezugnahmen und Entwicklungen geschärft wurde.
Die vier Hauptkapitel werden durch einen Katalog der behandelten Objekte ergänzt.In this thesis, a group of eight rock cut tombs and two shaft-tombs located in Central Dra’ Abu el-Naga (CDAN) at the West Bank of Luxor were studied. The construction of these tombs dates mainly to the period of the New Kingdom (NK, c. 1550-1070 BCE), but they continued to be in use for many generations after the death of the original tomb owners. The framework of this study, as sketched in Chapter 1, is characterized by three approaches: the first section is titled The geographical and geological nature of DAN. The overview of The history of excavation at CDAN Finally, the focus is on the history of research on the necropolis of CDAN. In Chapter 2, the excavations conducted in the area by the Egyptian Ministry of State of Antiquities (MSA) are described. I described and discussed the architectural elements of the newly excavated tombs. At the end, the architectural styles that prevailed in the CDAN were described, as a step in clarifying the development of the history of the area. In Chapter 3, deals with the relics and traces of ancient burial customs, especially with the objects like statues, pottery, coffins, shanties, funerary cones, and other funerary equipment, which came to light during the excavations in the area. Particular attention was given to their dating. The last section, Chapter 4, the frequent re-use of the tombs in later periods, as illustrated, e.g., by ceramics and other small finds. At the end, the significance of the newly discovered tombs is highlighted. Further insights into the specific usages and functions of monumental tombs in CDAN in general were gained, and to increase the understanding of the connections, interrelationships and developments, this started from NK and ended to very modern time. The four main chapters are followed by a catalogue of objects.

Texto completoResumen
Eighteenth and nineteenth century Karoo history has received relatively little archaeological attention. This is despite the fact that the area underwent a major economic transformation in the nineteenth century. The pastoralists of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century Roggeveld predominantly practiced small-scale subsistence farming. This changed rapidly with the introduction of merino wool sheep in the region in the mid 1800s. The region went from small-scale subsistence pastoralism to commercial and global scale Merino wool production, which fully integrated the Roggeveld into the economy of the colony. This dissertation looks at this sequence through the identification and mapping of the infrastructure of pastoralism using Google Earth and begins the process of linking this survey data with refined research on the ground by excavating at one of the sites located on Google Earth.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis aims to introduce ideas and methods from the emerging field of digital humanities into the study of history of mathematics, through case studies relating to the role of correspondence, commu- nication, and collaboration in Leonhard Euler's mathematical practice. Euler's known correspondence numbers almost three thousand letters, exchanged with hundreds of correspondents from across Europe. The correspondence is a vital source for understanding Euler's mathem- atics, but it has not yet been examined in great detail; this thesis is a contribution towards such a study. The thesis is motivated by a case study which highlights the cent- ral role of correspondence and personal contact in Euler's work on continued fractions. A desire for better understanding of the corres- pondence leads to the use of methods from the digital humanities, a relatively young field which has been evolving rapidly since the begin- ning of the 21st century. The thesis considers the particular challenges encountered when using such methods in the study of eighteenth- century mathematical texts. A database is used to facilitate the explor- ation and comprehension of Euler's correspondence. This enables the identification of a corpus of letters, all connected with the same math- ematical topic, which would be suitable for further study. A prototype digital edition of one of these letters is presented, featuring a tran- scription, editorial annotations, and digital facsimiles of the original manuscript. Finally, it is shown how existing digital tools that were designed for use in other fields, such as mathematics and cartography, may be appropriated to aid understanding of primary sources in the history of mathematics.

Toscano, Angela Rose. "Resemblances: on the re-use of romance in three 18th-century novels". Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6512.
Texto completoResumen
This study examines three 18th-century novels and their connection to the romances of the 17th century, the middle ages, as well as the Greek romances that flourished during the Roman Empire. I argue that the novel and the romance differ, not because the novel possesses some intrinsic formal, structural, or thematic essence wholly and disjunctively different from the romance, but rather because the two forms have been arbitrarily differentiated over a long contentious history for ideological and not categorical reasons. Thus, I define the novel not as a form or a genre, but as a mode and medium—a way and means of expressing story rather than as a structural, shaping category of story. Romance, on the other hand, is a type of story particularly interested in how to deal with difference. It asks: How do I deal with difference without annihilating or exiling it or myself in the process? When the romance gets subsumed into the novel as the dominant mode of prose fiction, it re-inscribes this ethical aspect of the romance’s structure through the use of resembling conventions and tropes.
In analyzing how resemblances are treated in three 18th-century novels—Charlotte Lennox’s The Female Quixote, Sophia Lee’s The Recess, and Eliza Haywood’s Love in Excess—my dissertation focuses on the novel’s re-use of the romance to explore anxieties about difference and sameness, about moral issues related to personhood, and about the tension between the individual and the collective. These texts ask: How do we cope with and incorporate the difference of the other when privilege in rank and perception is assumed by the subjective self? This question informs familiar and social relations of all kinds. It illuminates the 18th century’s scientific assumption that reality can be dissected via objective observation. It influences views of aesthetics, of gender and sexual politics, of creativity and the conflation of originality with novelty and of repetition with derivativeness.

This dissertation begins with a problem of alienation as it has historically emerged in Canada's Maritime provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. The estrangement of the region's aboriginal population from white arenas of social valuation provides a point of departure for this historical analysis of pre-Confederation Mi'kmaq-white relations; and the religious life of both peoples provides the raw material from which is constructed an understanding of both the evolution of alienated forms of existence in this context, and the possibility of freedom from these. With an initial assumption that religion is the mode by which human beings orient themselves in the world so as to ensure that their existence is meaningful, this analysis focuses on the human relationship with landscape in colonial Acadia. It is the fundamental need to feel 'at home' that is explored in respect to both aboriginal and white populations; and the religious symbols and myths that arise out of this necessity betray the emergence of two distinct forms of human alienation that of the Mi'kmaq from white colonial society, and that of whites from an authentic appreciation of the place in which they are situated. The dissertation concludes with suggestions for constructively utilizing knowledge of the religious structures that underpin the historical fact of New World alienation.

This Master’s degree thesis analyses the generational cleavage present in the South Korean electorate, according to the results of the 18th presidential election that took place in December 2012. The focus of the thesis is on the changes of political ideologies and the generational change within the past decade, since the shift within electorate’s political orientations has exposed the slowly emerging generational cleavage. The object of the thesis is to find out whether there really is a generational cleavage within the Korean electorate and if so, what are the main reasons behind it. The object is being pursued by using descriptive analysis of primary and secondary sources and an in-depth interview with open questions.Šis magistro laipsnio baigiamsis darbas tiria kartų skirtį Pietų Korėjos respublikos visuomenėje pagal 2012 m. gruodžio mėnesį įvykusių aštuonioliktųjų prezidento rinkimų rezultatus.

Texto completoResumen
The discovery of America was followed by a flow of precious metals to Spain and Portugal, and from there throughout the world. Historiography has reconstructed the quantities of gold and silver transferred from the New World to the Old World in the Early Modern period, but what was the reason for the bullion outflows? This dissertation answers this question. In particular, it examines the logic of silver outflows from Cadiz to London in the first half of the 18th century.Castile enacted bullionist laws during more than four centuries, from the Late Middle Ages to mid-19th century. The laws fixed prices and placed bans on export. But these measures did not prevent the export of silver and instead caused a great deal of smuggling. This dissertation aims at understanding the logic of silver outflows focusing on the smugglers' point of view: arbitrage. In this regard, the archive of the merchant house Roux (Marseille), probably the best preserved 18th century commercial archive in Europe, has made possible the reconstruction of the specie-point mechanism for silver - the Old Mexican pieces of eight - between Cadiz and London as exactly practiced by contemporary merchants. The discovery of half-monthly data on silver black market in Cadiz for the period 1729-1741 has been a milestone in order to understand the logic of silver outflows.
Empirical result from these data for arbitrage equation presents a puzzle for our understanding of the specie-point mechanism: from 1729 to 1737 there was a systematic bias between the implicit spot exchange rate and the arbitrated parity, which made arbitrage systematically profitable. On the contrary, from 1737 to 1741 the bias was corrected because the Spanish government reacted to illegal bullion outflows with a devaluation, which equalized the exchange rates and the arbitrated parity.
This research explores both theoretically and empirically the reasons for the apparent mispricing for the first period and the effect of the devaluation on silver prices for the second period. The outcome is that bullionist regulations configured an oligopsony structure in Cadiz that had the power to drive down silver prices below the international price (i.e., London price). Oligopsony agents were the most important foreign merchants in Cadiz, organized in family and partnership networks which were rice-makers; their structure was maintained because the long-run international networks created entry barriers in the business of illegal export of bullion. Secrecy was reserved because both sides of the market cheated the Spanish government: importers from the Spanish American colonies saved the high import tax and exporters to the ain European bullion markets ignored the ban against exports.
Nevertheless, oligopsony power had a floor, which was the Official Parity (i.e., the number of units of account per coin). Below the Official Parity, the pieces of eight were used as money and went out from the commodity market. The devaluation of 1737 should be understood as an increment of the Official Parity for eliminating oligopsony power.
Some main lessons emerge from this dissertation. First, understanding the reasons of the specie flows in the Early Modern period demands comprehension of the specie-point mechanism. Second, the construction of the silver-points requires the location, collection and manipulation of the right data: market prices, exchange rates and costs of arbitrage. And third, the interpretation of the arbitrage results needs to focus on the special microeconomic features of the bullion market structure. This is an original approach which will provide a lot of insight into the workings of commodity money.
The first chapter describes the Castilian stagnated legislation and immobile institutions established with the aim of avoiding bullion outflows: fixed prices and bans on export. The second chapter analyses the specie-point mechanism in the institutional setting of bullion controls: the case of silver Pieces of Eight between Cadiz and London during the period 1729-1741. Arbitrage equation shows a systematic bias between the spot exchange rate and the arbitrated parity corrected by the 1737 devaluation. The third chapter analyses the specie-point mechanism in the institutional setting of free bullion movement: the case of gold and silver bars between London and Amsterdam during the period 1734-1758. London-Amsterdam bullion market was integrated, and arbitrage equation shows only few and non persistent breaks. The fourth chapter tells the story of the agents involved in the illegal exchanges of silver in Cadiz, and demonstrates that the smugglers were the French merchants who obtained the highest income of all merchants in Cadiz. The fifth chapter examines the contemporary Castilian reports against smuggling in order to describe how the illegal exchange took place. Smuggling was reserved to foreign merchants because they had achieved privileges which prevented them to be prosecuted. The sixth chapter demonstrates that the smugglers were organized in long-run networks which conferred them the market power to drive down bullion prices below the international price, and the international connections to illegally extract and distribute the bullion from Cadiz. The seventh chapter develops a static model of partial equilibrium for commodity-money in order to understand the workings of the oligopsonistic silver-commodity market and the effect of devaluation on the bullionist goal of treasuring silver. We will end offering some conclusions. Appendices explain the construction of the specie-point mechanism.

Texto completoResumen
I use W.E.B. Du Bois' reference to the worlds 'within and without the veil' as the narrative setting for presenting the case of an African-Bahamian urban cemetery in use from the early eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. I argue that people of African descent lived what Du Bois termed a 'double consciousness.' Thus, the ways in which they shaped and changed this cemetery landscape reflect the complexities of their lives. Since the material expressions of this cemetery landscape represent the cultural perspectives of the affiliated communities so changes in its maintenance constitute archaeologically visible evidence of this process. Evidence in this study includes analysis of human remains; the cultural preference for cemetery space near water; certain trees planted as a living grave site memorial; butchered animal remains as evidence of food offerings; and placement of personal dishes on top of graves.;Based on the manufacture dates for ceramic and glass containers African-derived cultural behavior was no longer practiced after the mid-nineteenth century even though the cemetery remained in use until the early twentieth century. I interpret this change as evidence of a conscious cultural decision by an African-Bahamian population in Nassau to move away from obviously African-derived expressions of cultural identity. I argue that the desire for social mobility motivated this change. Full emancipation was granted in the British Empire by 1838. People of African descent who wanted to take advantage of social opportunities had to give up public expressions of African-derived cultural identity in order to participate more fully and successfully in the dominant society.

Texto completoResumen
Le marché requière que les échanges soient volontaires et le droit peut restreindre le fonctionnement d'un marché. C'est ce qui s’est produit avec les régulations bullionistes de Castille, qui ont conduit à l’apparition d’un marché noir des métaux précieux à Cadix dans l’Époque Moderne. La thèse doctorale se concentre sur la structure de ce marché illégal des métaux précieux, afin de comprendre la logique des sorties d'argent. L'arbitrage est expliqué par la présence d'un pouvoir d’oligopsone qui réduisait le prix de l’argent à Cadiz et créait un biais systématique entre les prix intérieurs et internationaux. La leçon qui se dégage de cette étude est que pour comprendre le mécanisme des points d’espèces dans l’Époque Moderne, il faut tout d’abord comprendre la structure du marché des métaux précieux pour le lieu et la période considérésThe market requires that exchanges are voluntary and the law may restrict the workings of a given market. This is the case with Castile bullionist regulations, which led to an illegal bullion market in Early Modern Cadiz. This paper focuses on the structure of this illegal bullion market in order to understand the logic of silver outflows. Arbitrage is explained by the presence of an oligopsony power that depressed the price of silver in Cadiz and created a systematic bias between domestic and international market prices. The lesson that emerges from this paper is that understanding the specie-flow mechanism in the Early Modern Period demands the comprehension of the bullion market structure for the place and time examined
