Annotation:

Kindred, an MFA exhibition held at the Tipton Gallery located in downtown Johnson City from Feburary 22nd to March 4th. Kindred presents two bodies of work, which are a collection of drawings, etchings, monoprints, and lithographs, that center around a personal mythology and symbolism of self-identity and discovery. These works explore the physical and spiritual connection behind being a fraternal twin through the metaphorical use of animal imagery. The ideas discussed in this paper center around the process of creating a personal mythology and symbolism through my observations of animals and how I relate that experience to other mythologies that inspire me. This process of creating narratives and iconography coincide with the writings of Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung. This paper also includes the inspiration of other artists, such as Beth Cavener and Dennis McNett, who also use animal imagery to explain a kind of kinship.

Annotation:

This sociological study explores the construction of feminine subjectivities within biological sister relationships - a neglected, socially invisible tie. The qualitative research design, data collection and analysis are embedded in feminist standpoint theory and feminist post-structuralism. Sociological work in auto/biography is applied as a method for collecting and analysing sister life histories. Four methods were used to collect data from 37 women from varied class and ethnic backgrounds across six decades aged between 6 and 50 in the UK: a questionnaire; an Ecomap; a Flowchart; and a semi-structured depth interview. Five elements of the bond were documented: contact patterns, types of tie, factors affecting these ties, comparisons with female friendship, and changes over time. The data from 29 interviews were analysed through case studies, the auto/biographical method and grounded theory. A typology of four strands was developed to analyse the women's narratives: best friendship, close and distant companionship, the positioned and shifting positions discourses. Contact patterns between sisters were associated with forms of female friendship: some ties recalled the intensity of best friendship; others, the positive and negative aspects of distance and separateness of close and distant companionship. Sister ties evolve over time, moving from best friendship during girlhood to companionship in womanhood, or vice-versa. Change stems from circumstances external to the tie, and from internal shifts. These external changes - oscillating patterns of dependence and independence - are linked to turning-points and life events: changing school, acquiring and losing girlfriends and boyfriends, leaving home, starting work, divorce, bereavement, and mothering. Internal shifts are triggered by factors additional to life-stage and age: changing power relations and emotions. These are analysed in terms of the positioned discourse which reproduces elements of mother-daughter relationships, especially minimothering, where power tends to be hegemonic; and the shifting positions discourse, where role reversals occur and women alternately adopt dominant, dominated, or more equal positions of power. The role of 'agentic subjectivity' in the move in and out of one discourse to another is highlighted.

Annotation:

This thesis uses the observations of Nancy J. Peterson on historical wounds as a springboard to discuss Octavia Butler’s novel Kindred and its use of both white and black characters to reexamine the origins of the historical wounds and why they are so difficult to deal with even today. Other scholarly works will be used to further investigate the importance of each character in the story and what they mean to the wound itself. Specifically, Dana is analyzed alongside the other main characters: Rufus, Alice, and Kevin. Though Dana’s relationships with these characters, Kindred’s version of the past can be examined in order to determine why the past is so difficult to overcome and what the novel does to come to an understanding or reconciliation with it. This, in turn, allows for the present to be compared to Butler’s representation of the past as a way of reexamining history.

Annotation:

Soren Kierkegaard is widely acknowledged today as one of the most insightful philosophical and religious thinkers of western historY. Until very recently Psychologists have been more interested in him as a subject of analysis, rather than as a psychologist in his own right. Fortunately, the tide has now turned and Kierkegaard's particular brand of Christian Psychology has been well documented. It is notable, however, that whilst Kierkegaard has been exhaustingly investigated from a Freudian perspective, with the exception of a few very brief comparisons by Jungian Scholars, it remains that an extensive Jungian orientated study has yet to be completed. Carl Jung is a complex and controversial figure in the world of psychology and yet so significant are his psychological insights that he is a difficult figure to ignore. This inquiry will seek to look at in detail the relationship between lung and Kierkegaard, both in · terms of their work and their personalities. I argue that the affinity in the thought of Kierkegaard and lung is much greater than Jung himself, at least consciously, realised. There are aspects of these thinkers' insights that converge with one another and this points towards a significant conceptual parity and complementarity in their thought. We might summarize the most important of these points of commonalities as: the creation of meaningful existence through inward deepening; the overcoming of self deception through self creationlrecovelY; and self determination through the creative exercise of freedom in conjunction with a reference (guiding) point outside of ones own. It will be the most thorough work to date both in terms of looking at the affinity between their models of psychological development and illness but also in its primary concern of addressing lung's outright and venomous rejection of ierkegaard. I will identify the extensive overlap in their thought in order to reveal both an intellectual and spiritual cOlTespondence that serves to illuminate just how surprising and odd it is that lung was not able to find in Kierkegaard a kindred 4 spirit. In lung's psychology we see the continuation of Kierkegaard's project of I selfhood as a divine call to become a self before God. Such complementarity between these two significant figures illustrate the possibility for philosophy and psychology to complement each other in theIr respective visions of authentic selfhood.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

This thesis examines the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift, a co-educational outdoors organisation that claimed to be a youth organisation and a cultural movement active from August 1920 to January 1932. Originally part of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, the Kibbo Kift offers rich insight into the interwar period in Britain specifically because it carried forward late Victorian and Edwardian ideology in how it envisioned Britain. Members constructed their own historical narrative, which endeavoured to place the organisation at the heart of British life. The organisation’s internal life revolved around the unique mythology members developed, and the movement aspired to regenerate Britain after the First World War physically and spiritually. This thesis argues Kibbo Kift was a distinctive movement that drew upon its members’ intellectual preoccupations and ideals and inspired its members to create unique cultural artefacts. While the Kibbo Kift was ultimately too politically ambiguous to have lasting political impact on a national scale, examining the organisation offers important insight into intellectual thought and cultural production during the British interwar period. This thesis charts the changes the organisation underwent through its membership and the different trends of intellectual thought brought in by individual members, such as its leader, John Hargrave, brought to the group. It examines the cultural production of the organisation’s unique mythology, which created a distinctive historical narrative. It surveys gender issues within the organisation through the “roof tree”, an experimental family unit, and the group’s increasing anti-feminism. Finally, it considers how Clifford H. Douglas’ economic theory of social credit caused the Kibbo Kift to transform into the Green Shirts Movement for Social Credit and later into the Social Credit Party of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

Cette thèse est une étude des thèmes majeurs de l'œuvre de Philip k. Dick, écrivain américain connu pour ses œuvres de science-fiction. Une partie du corpus dickien peut être considérée comme une représentation des spasmes qui secouent le monde extérieur et des menaces qui pèsent sur celui-ci depuis l'ère de l'atome. En raison de son caractère belliqueux, de sa propension à la destruction, de son gout du pouvoir, l'homme est son propre ennemi, bien plus que les extraterrestres. Reflets a peine voiles de l'être humain ou figures de l'altérité, ces créatures servent à illustrer la difficulté qu'a l'homme a communiquer ou cohabiter avec l'autre. Dick s'est cependant surtout penche sur l'espace intérieur de l'homme, et deux questions capitales l'ont hante toute sa vie : + what is human ? ; et + what is real ? ;. Dans un univers instable, voue à disparaitre, définir l'identité de l'homme est une tâche complexe. Pour illustrer cette difficulté, Dick se sert des artifices de la sf qu'il manipule a sa guise : invasion extraterrestre, contrôle des esprits, aliénation due à la drogue, doubles artificiels. Face aux bouleversements de cette fin de siècle, l'apparence, le comportement et la nature d'un être sont parfois insuffisants pour nous renseigner sur son identité. Cette indécision quant à l'identité humaine est intimement liée aux incertitudes portant sur le réel. Le monde n'est-il pas aussi factice que les acteurs et simulacres qui y prolifèrent ? Nos sens sont peut-être insuffisants pour nous permettre de voir et comprendre l'univers tel qu'il est réellement, a moins que notre perception soit un facteur décisif dans la déformation de la réalité. Cela signifierait qu'au lieu de voir le monde tel qu'il est, nous le voyons tel que nous sommes. C'est avant tout dans son esprit que l'homme transforme le monde, telle est l'idée véhiculée par les realites interieures que Dick nous fait découvrir. Il nous invite aussi a réfléchir sur le rapport que l'homme entretient avec le réel et l'illusoire : ou se situe sa vérité, ou vont ses préférences et ses croyances ? La réalité intérieure a peut-être plus de valeur qu'une réalité extérieure dont l'objectivité et la vertu restent a démontrer. A travers ce questionnement, l'œuvre de Dick est plus proche de la réflexion philosophique que du divertissement pour adolescents auquel la sf est trop souvent associée
This thesis is a study of the major themes in the works of Philip k. Dick (1928-1982), an american writer famous for his science fiction novels and short stories. Part of the dickian corpus may be considered as an illustration of the chaotic state of the outer world and of the threats hanging over it since the creation of the atomic bomb. Because of his warlike nature, his propensity for destruction and his taste for power, man is his own enemy, much more so than aliens. Whether these creatures mirror man or represent otherness, they often help us to understand how difficult it is for human beings to communicate or live together. However, dick was more interested in man's inner space, and two fundamental questions haunted him throughout his life : + what is human ? ; and + what is real ? ;. In an uncertain world which is destined to disappear, defining man's identity is a complex task. To illustrate this difficulty, dick uses the tricks of science fiction in his own peculiar way : alien invasion, mind control, technological miracles, drug-induced alienation, artificial doubles. Faced with the upheaval of the end of the century, the appearance, the behaviour and the nature of a being are sometimes insufficient to inform us of his identity. This indecision about human identity is intimately connected to the uncertainty of reality. The world might be as fake as the actors and simulacra with which it is teeming. Our senses are perhaps inadequate to enable us to see and understand the universe as it actually is, unless perception is a decisive factor in the distortion of reality. It would mean that instead of seeing the world as it is, we see it as we are. It is first and foremost in his mind that man changes reality : that is the idea conveyed by the inner realities dick shows us. He also invites us to think about man's relationship with illusion and reality : where is his truth, where are his preferences and beliefs ? Inner subjective reality may be more valuable than an outer reality whose virtue and objectivity remain to be proved. Through this endless questioning, dick's work is much closer to philosophical reflection than to the teenagers' entertainment with which the genre of science fiction is all too often associated

Annotation:

The purpose of this study was to measure merger performance on a longitudinal basis using a micro perspective. Specifically, this study looked at the performance of a sample of mergers drawn from the food and kindred products industry, Standard Industrial Classification code 20, for a period of five years before and five years after the merger using two performance measures. The performance measures, namely market returns to stockholders and return on investment, have been used extensively in the literature to study the performance of mergers and acquisitions, albeit on macro samples. The study offered significant statistical support for the hypothesis that mergers benefit the acquiring firm and its stockholders, as well as for the hypothesis that merger performance in the latter time period of study (1977 to 1984) was better than in the former (1968 to 1977). However, no significant difference in performance was found across merger types. The study discussed the managerial implications of these findings and offered directions for future research in the area of merger performance.

From a practical point of view, the well-proven antisuicidal and anti-aggressive effects of lithium are of utmost importance for a rational, safe and economical treatment of patients with affective disorders. Regular lithium long-term treatment reduces the otherwise 2- to 3-fold increased mortality of untreated patients with severe affective disorders down to the level of the general population. This is mainly due to the reduced suicide risk. Many international studies have confirmed this fascinating property of lithium which so far has not been demonstrated with comparable evidence for any other psychotropic compound. The antisuicidal effects of lithium might possibly be related to its anti-aggressive effects which have been shown in various species, populations and settings, such as animals, inhabitants of nursing homes for the elderly, mentally handicapped subjects, children and adolescents with hyperactive, hostile and aggressive behavior, and particularly in hyperaggressive inmates of correction units and prisons

Research on the musical language as well as the technical realisation of the tape part to a kindred spirit, for ensemble and tape, was realised at the Electronic Music Studio of McGill University from September, 1984 to September, 1986.
The following excerpt from the programme note in the score summarizes the 'spirit' of the composition.
"The computer generated sounds on tape form a large body in which instrumental sounds float and from which they appear, like weeds oscillating on a sometimes calm and often turbulent sea of sound.
'You're afraid, in the mirror, of the sea, in front of, you're afraid ... ' and 'searching, for a common pulse, to sustain, to carry on, searching ... ' are circular phrases in the text which reflect elements of both doubt and courage. Mourning that which can never return. Celebrating that which will always be with us."

Annotation:

This study interrogates the resonances of queer utopianism in Octavia Butler’s presentation of time in Kindred in order to address the lack of existing scholarship on the novel’s relationship with queer temporality. To conduct this interrogation, I utilize the work of queer optimists like Muñoz, Berlant, and Ahmed to deconstruct the text phenomenologically in conjunction with queer pessimists like Halberstam and Edelman to nuance this analysis. To prevent this analysis from being overtaken by a white gaze, I also make use of Black scholars like Morrison, Sharpe, Cooper, Gates, and Collins. In my analysis, I divide Butler’s presentation of time into present, past, and future- whereas the present refers to the American Bicentennial and the cultural disconnect the protagonist Dana experiences in her relationship with her white husband, the past signals the pull of Antebellum era white supremacist patriarchy and Dana’s need to engage in archival work to reconstitute the history that has been denied to her, and the future implies a nebulousness that blurs both eras together and instills the novel’s ending with an ambiguity that lends itself to both pessimistic and optimistic readings. I emphasize how Butler positions Black temporality as a queer temporality in the novel that challenge readers’ own relationship with the dominant white patriarchal culture.

Annotation:

Slavery is something that cannot be taken lightly. Even Butler says no matter how harsh the slavery in her novel is, it does not compare to how gruesome actual slavery was: “As a matter of fact, one of the things I realized when I was reading the slave narrative…was that I was not going to be able to come anywhere near presenting slavery as it was. I was going to have to do a some-what cleaned-up version of slavery, or no one would be willing to read it” (qtd. in Kenan 497). Octavia Butler knew that if she presented slavery directly and in a way that called people, most likely white males, that there would not be an audience for the novel. Instead she had to present slavery as something society shaped, rather than a specific group of individuals. An analysis of Octavia Butler’s Kindred reveals that societal expectations alter the dynamics of such interracial relationships as those between Dana and Kevin, Dana and Rufus, and Rufus and Alice, determining their success or failure without regard to the foundations upon which these relationships were initially built.

Annotation:

At the end of the nineteenth century, English-Canadians and Americans faced each other across the border with old animosities. Many Canadians adhered to familiar ideas of Loyalism, imperialism and anti-Americanism to differentiate the Dominion from the republic. In the United States, on the other hand, lingering notions of anglophobia and "Manifest Destiny" caused Americans to look upon the British colony to the north as a dangerous and unnatural entity. America's rise to world power status and the Anglo-American rapprochement, however, forced Americans and Canadians to adapt to the new international reality. Emphasizing their shared language, civilization, and forms of government, many English-speaking North Americans drew upon Anglo-Saxonism to find common ground. Indeed, Americans and Canadians often referred to each other as members of the same "family" sharing the same "blood," thus differentiating themselves from other races. As many of the events of the rapprochement had a North American context, Americans and English-Canadians often drew upon the common lexicon of Anglo-Saxon rhetoric to undermine the old rivalries and underscore their shared interests. Though the predominance of Anglo-Saxonism at the turn of the century proved short-lived, it left a legacy of Canadian-American goodwill, as both nations accepted their shared destiny on the continent and Canada as a key link in the North Atlantic Triangle.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 82-88).
Monogenic defects in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) uptake pathway occur commonly in South Africans, particularly in the Afrikaner community where inheritance is typically autosomal dominant, arising predominantly from abnormal structure and thus function of the LDL receptor (LDLr). Defects in LDLr binding domain of apolipopreteinB-100 (apoB-100) are rarely encountered and are know as Familial defective apoB-100 (FDB). Several critical proteins are active in the LDL uptake pathway and their deficiencies are now being shown to underlie the rare autosomal recessive forms of hypercholesterolemia (ARH). One of these proteins is the LDLr adaptor protein know as ARH, which is presumed to facilitate interaction of the cytoplasmic tail of the LDLr with the internal protein matrix required for the receptor internalisation.

Annotation:

This essay’s primarily focus is on the common discourse about the persisting effects of the past in the present in Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale(1985)and Octavia E. Butler’s Kindred (1979).These novels are the testimonies of the protagonists Offred and Dana who shares their experience of traumatic violence and oppression. Dana, with her ability to time travel, will see her present time in clearer light as she experiences the life of a slave on an antebellum plantation. Offred, the Handmaiden owned by the totalitarian regime Gilead, portrays her contemporary life in parallel to remembering her former and thus describing Gilead’s increasing authority. Based on different theorists and concepts in the field of cultural memory studies, this essay examines the tension between memory and history, the distantness towards the past and the problematics with representations of traumatic events. As I argue that the voices of Dana and Offred calls attention to the importance of perspective and of sharing stories, they are also an act of hope, therapy and resistance; an act that also make possible a critique of the processes of the production of historical knowledge.

Annotation:

Madness in women exists as a trope within the literature from the earliest of civilizations. This theme is evident and appears to possess a link with male dysfunction in several of Toni Morrison’s texts. Lack of maternal accountability has long served as a symptom of female mental instability as imposed by patriarchal thought. Mothers who have neglected or harmed their young across cultures and time periods have been forcibly branded with the mark of madness. Female characters in five of Morrison’s novels bear a striking resemblance to the female archetypes of ancient Greece. This paper will demonstrate the kindred strands of prescribed female madness in the women of the myths of ancient Greece and Morrison’s characters as it relates to neglectful mothering and male flight.

The multicultural classroom is becoming more prominent in Sweden. Students from different cultures and ethnicities meet to learn in the same environment. In a changing society, the need to develop acceptance towards others is more important than ever. Thus, in this essay, post-colonial and social influence theories have been applied to the analysis of Octavia E. Butler’s novel Kindred. This essay argues that by integrating post-colonial literature in the EFL- classroom, students can gain deeper intercultural knowledge and learn to understand the power of the social environment concerning its influential effects on people’s racial attitudes and prejudices.

Syftet med denna studie är att belysa hur närstående till personer som vårdas palliativt upplever stödet de får från sjukvårdspersonal. Frågeställningarna i studien bygger på två centrala frågor. Vilket stöd upplever närstående att de får och hur upplevde närstående detta stöd? Den metod som har använts i detta arbete är litteraturstudie. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar användes som gav svar på frågeställningarna. Resultatet visar att information av olika slag under denna tid var det övervägande behovet av stöd hos närstående. Andra fynd som upptäcktes var känslomässigt stöd, avlastning och undervisning "hjälp till självhjälp". Diskussionen är uppdelad i en metoddiskussion och en resultatdiskussion. I resultatdiskussionen belyses främst betydelsen av information som ges till närstående, hur den ges och när den ges. Som slutsats kan sägas att det är av stor betydelse att lyfta fram vikten av information till närstående under denna svåra tid i deras liv. Det måste satsas på undervisning till vårdpersonal på alla vårdinrättningar och utvecklas en standard eller ett vårdprogram för informationsgivning till närstående.
The aim of this litterature study is to illuminate how significant others experience the support they get from staff. This study emphasized two central questions. What kind of support does significant others experience they get and their experiences of this support? The method used was a litterature review. Ten articles dealing with the questions were used. The result finds out that information of different kind are the outweigh need of support for significant others. Other findings were emotional support, need of assistance end education related to caring "empowerment". The discussion is divided in one part related to the method and one related to the result.In the discussion of the results illuminates the significance of information as it is given to significant others, and also how and when it is given. As a conclusion it is of great importance to show the meaning of information to significant others during this difficult time in there life. We find it necessary to develop a standard or a programme in caring focused on information to significant others.

Lo scopo della ricerca è tracciare un panorama approfondito delle narrazioni ucroniche pure prodotte in ambito italiano. Si intende per ucronia pura un testo letterario – lungo o breve – incentrato su un’ipotesi retrospettiva che proponga uno svolgimento alternativo a un fatto storico consolidato: l’aggettivo pura vuole specificare le narrazione di storia alternativa la cui divergenza non sia dovuta a dispositivi finzionali altri, quali il viaggio nel tempo e gli universi paralleli. Di conseguenza, l’elaborato si focalizzerà solo sui testi allostorici ambientati in un universo ucronico indipendente e autosufficiente: tenendo ben presente questo limite, saranno delineati alcuni confronti sia con i testi ucronici “spuri”, sia con la produzione storiografica controfattuale. Se lo stato degli studi sull’ucronia è piuttosto frammentario ed è stato affrontato dal dibattito accademico solo negli ultimi trent’anni1, questo atteggiamento narrativo è invece piuttosto antico e ha subito diverse trasformazioni nel corso della sua storia: la speculazione controfattuale, infatti, dopo essere nata agli albori della storiografia, all’interno delle opere di Erodoto e Livio, è restata una possibilità assolutamente minoritaria all’interno della letteratura occidentale, se non altro fino allo sviluppo delle narrazioni utopiche in epoca moderna. Dopo una fase che è stata definita da molti come “protoucronica” e che ha attraversato tutto il XIX secolo, con la nascita della moderna fantascienza l’ucronia ne diventa un sottogenere, perlomeno fino alla fine della Guerra Fredda, dopo cui ha guadagnato nuovamente una certa autonomia. La prima parte della ricerca è focalizzata nell’indagine delle opere protoucroniche prodotte in ambito italiano e chiude con l’analisi del primo romanzo propriamente ucronico scritto in lingua italiana, ossia Benito I imperatore di Marco Ramperti. Partendo dai testi critici degli anni Ottanta2, ho inizialmente analizzato nel suo contesto la prima ipotesi controfattuale esplicita della storia, ovvero quella inserita da Lorenzo Pignotti nella sua Storia della Toscana sino al principato. Mi sono poi concentrato su un gruppo di opere a cavallo fra XIX e XX secolo le cui caratteristiche potevano risultare di un certo interesse nel tentativo di tracciare alcuni precursori della narrativa fantastorica italiana e il rapporto che spesso intrattiene con un immaginario reazionario. Inoltre, ho inserito un paragrafo che esamina la ricezione dell’opera di Renouvier in Italia e la squalifica di Croce nei confronti delle ipotesi controfattuali nella storiografia: il punto di contatto è il filosofo di Adriano Tilgher, allievo di Croce che aderirà al fascismo e con cui polemizzerà proprio sull’antistoricismo di Renouvier. Tilgher, infatti, sarà il primo autore italiano a utilizzare esplicitamente il calco ucronia, traslato dal francese uchronie, e l’interesse di Evola nei confronti della sua filosofia rappresenterà un importante punto di contatto fra il problema delle ipotesi controfattuali nella storiografia e nella narrativa e l’interesse proficuo fra la destra italiana radicale e spiritualista e l’ucronia Questa sezione dell’elaborato termina perciò con l’analisi del primo romanzo ucronico italiano, ovvero Benito I Imperatore di Marco Ramperti, la cui stesura e pubblicazione si colloca all’interno del contesto storico del primo attivismo neofascista italiano e dello scontro fra i vertici del MSI e i giovani reduci di Salò vicini al Ragguppamento Giovanili (con i quali si schiera Ramperti, nonostante la differenza di età). L’edizione del romanzo sarà infatti di poco precedente al processo contro i FAR (e Julius Evola) che determinerà un’importante battuta di arresto in questo primo movimentismo neofascista. Nella seconda parte dell’elaborato si propone l’esame del periodo che va dalla pubblicazione di Benito I all’edizione dell’antologia di racconti ucronici Fantafascismo! curata da Gianfranco de Turris. La prima sezione analizza tre singolari romanzi ucronici totalmente slegati sia dagli ambiti della destra radicale che da quelli della nicchia fantascientifica, ma anche dotati di una notevole indipendenza dai modelli stranieri. Si tratta di Asse pigliatutto di Lucio Ceva, Aprire il fuoco di Luciano Bianciardi e la principale opera ucronica italiana, ovvero Contro-passato prossimo di Guido Morselli. Dopo un paragrafo introduttivo in cui si illustrano i motivi per cui si potrebbero indicarli come testi canonici di una linea indipendente e prettamente italiana di narrativa ucronica, la trattazione prosegue con l’analisi di Aprire il fuoco, romanzo che non presenta le caratteristiche dell’ucronia pura, ma che risulta una tappa fondamentale nella cronologia della fantastoria italiana, soprattutto per la sua grande originalità. Successivamente, si cerca di mettere in comparazione Contro-passato prossimo con l’ucronia più rappresentativa in ambito anglosassone, ovvero The Man in the High Castle di Phili K. Dick, in modo da far emergere, attraverso il raffronto fra queste due opere esemplari, alcune caratteristiche comuni alle ucronie mature. La seconda sezione di questa parte, invece, ricostruisce sinteticamente la storia del dibattito su fantascienza e fascismo all’interno delle riveste di settore italiane e il ruolo di questa querelle nella compilazione dell’antologia di racconti ucronici ad ambientazione fascista, uscita con la curatela di Gianfranco de Turris per i tipi di Settimo Sigillo nel 1999. In questa raccolta, infatti si trova il racconto da cui scaturirà la saga ucronica italiana di maggior successo, ovvero quella di Occidente di Mario Farneti, la cui pubblicazione fomenterà nuovamente la polemica sulla letteratura fantastica neofascista, anche grazie a un articolo di Valerio Evangelisti su Monde Diplomatique. Dopo l’analisi della saga di Occidente, la seconda parte chiude con una rassegna delle altre pubblicazioni ucroniche italiane degli anni Novanta. La terza parte esamina la situazione della narrativa ucronica italiana negli anni Duemila e offre una breve rassegna delle tendenze attuali. In essa sono affrontate le varie forme di ucronia fantafascista slegate dall’ambiente della destra radicale (o in aperta polemica con esso), come i due romanzi di Giampietro Stocco ambientati in un’Italia in cui il regime è sopravvissuto fino agli anni Sessanta e l’Epopea fantastorica italiana di Enrico Brizzi, ovvero la saga che rappresenta forse l’esito più interessante, da un punto di vista letterario, della narrativa ucronica italiana dopo Contro-passato prossimo. Nella saga allostorica di Brizzi, infatti, il fascismo vittorioso viene rappresentato non tanto nella sua brutalità – come nei romanzi di Stocco – quanto in relazione con i suoi aspetti grotteschi. Inoltre, per certi versi, il primo romanzo del ciclo, L’inattesa piega degli eventi, oltre a rappresentare un raro caso di narrativa sportiva italiana, cerca di innestarsi nell’esile tracciato delle opere storiche e letterarie italiane che cercano di rileggere in un’ottica post-coloniale il passato imperialista del nostro paese. Oltre a questi due cicli, sono analizzate le altre antologie ucroniche curate da de Turris e da altri e pubblicate sulla scia del successo di Occidente. La conclusione di questa parte e dell’intera ricerca si concentra sugli ultimi anni, segnati dall’esaurimento del filone fantafascista (allineato o meno agli ambienti della destra sociale) e dalla comparsa dei primi esempi di steampunk italiano, una sorta di sottogenere fantastorico del fantasy, privo delle ambizioni della letteratura ucronica, di cui sembra semmai una versione depotenziata. In chiusura della ricerca è stata inserita un’appendice in cui sono schematizzate tutte le narrazioni ucroniche pure considerate, con i loro punti di divergenza e alcune proposte personali di catalogazione tassonomica dei testi.

Annotation:

This dissertation is a descriptive grammar of the Sajolang language, which is spoken in West Kameng district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh, India; the primary focus is on the villages of Upper Dzang and Khellong near the Bichum river. Two main subgroupings have generally been identified as West (primarily Nafra circle, West Kameng district) and East (primarily Lada circle, East Kameng district), but phonological evidence suggests Janaching and Challan (although different from each other) constitute a third subgroup (see sec 2.2). There are three broad groupings in this dissertation: geographic, sociolinguistic, and cultural information (chp 2); methodology and data collection (chp 3); and an analysis of the Sajolang language (chp 4-chp 16). Chp 3 presents background information about the language, where it is spoken, and its speakers. Chp 2 describes how the language was recorded and with what equipment, as well as a look at previous literature which analyzed Sajolang. The remaining chapters (chp 4-chp 16) focus on individual areas of the language. The progression of these chapters follows the phonology-morphology- syntax approach common in grammars.

Kindred Privilege is highly related to Right of Family and is anchored in Chinese Ethics and Morals. However, it’s in conflict with the benefit of exploring the truth, and we need to strike a balance between them. The legislation should take both of them into consideration so that the regulations can meet the requirements we need. Therefore, before we can estimate the possible risks and benefits, the application of Kindred Privilege should be limited in consanguinity and spouses that consists permanent resource-sharing family only. As if we confirm the limitation on application of subjection mentioned here, the existing article should be amended. To implement Kindred Privilege, the privilege shouldn’t be taken as an unimportant junk in criminal procedure. On the contrary, it must be in accordance with the protection of Right of Family. Especially when it comes to the conflict between the privilege and state enforcement performing on witness, how to explain and apply the regulations are the key points.

Annotation:

abstract: Situated within seminal debates on the questions of liberation and justice viewed from the postcolonial context, this dissertation evaluates freedom narratives from both sides of the colonial divide during the period of high imperialism. Creating a transnational grouping of three diverse historical figures, E. M. Forster, M. K. Gandhi, and James Joyce, I argue for similarities in these writers’ narrative construction of “freedom” against colonial modernity. I argue that despite these writers’ widely disparate historical and cultural determinations, which uniquely particularize each of their freedom formulas as well as freedom “ideals” – the ideal of culture for Forster, renunciation for Gandhi and aesthetic apprehension for Joyce, these writers conceive of a commensurate/globally related form of “freedom” as postcoloniality and demonstrate cosmopolitan ambition. I also argue that the global form of postcoloniality they each practice can only be articulated through a close attention to each of their specific and local difference. The key contribution of the dissertation is to establish a new significance of the notion of fetishism for postcolonial studies, from both historical and theoretical perspectives. From a background that emphasizes the primacy of the concept of fetishism in its historical evolution within colonizing narratives of various Western discourses, especially fetish’s constitutive role in Enlightenment philosophy’s othering narrative of “primitive” natives, the work foregrounds a novel theoretical and narrative insight that the fetish demonstrates a unique potential to articulate/embody freedom as post-coloniality. Through a detailed critical analysis of each freedom narrative, I demonstrate how the clashes of particular contradictory cultural ideologies, in fact, determine each freedom narrative and how these contradictions are projected onto and galvanized by a fetish object(s). The work extends the ideas of Sigmund Freud, William Pietz, Homi Bhabha, Anne McClintock and Jacques Derrida on fetishism. Employing the framework of fetishism it brings into view similarities among the said three writers’ definition and practice of freedom. The work weighs in on critical debates between Marxist and Post-structural camps in postcolonial studies and proposes a new form of cosmopolitanism.

For past ten years, Taiwan’s population structure has changed significantly. This leads to weaken the economic supporting function of traditional family This study uses questionnaire and interviews to collect the sample’s bachground information, By doing this, the study can investigate the status of kindred care for parents. What are diffences in parents’ care resources distribution under the different backgrounds of parents. Also, the study discusses what fcators will be considered as investigating the resources of kindred care. The study obtains the following results: (1) for the kindred care’s time distribution analysis, more work time less care time. (2) for kindred care’s resident address analysis, more near parents’s resident address, more time to take care. (3) for the kindred care’s economic capacity, the higher income of the family has more disposal expenses.

Annotation:

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences, 1998.
Spectrin is the major component of the erythrocyte protein skeleton. Spectrin tetramers, the predominant form on the membrane, consist of self-associated oc/|3 heterodimers. P spectrin binds to the integral band 3 protein via ankyrin. Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is caused by skeletal protein defects that destabilise the membrane resulting in altered erythrocyte morphology. Two probands from a white South African HE kindred characterised by reduced spectrin-ankyrin binding, lowered spectrin dimer self-association and diminished spectrin in the membrane were investigated. Control and proband monomers were isolated and reassociated into hybrid spectrins (hSp). hSp and spectrin structural analyses identified an alteration of the a l l domain in the probands’ spectrin between amino acids 916-1046; the mother’s spectrin structure was normal. Functionally, hSp dimers reassociated with a proband a chain showed lowered self-association and reduced ankyrin binding. RT-PCR analysis of the probands’ a l l domain coding sequences from reticulocyte ENA showed that they produced approximately equal amounts of two KNA messages: one with an exon 20 deletion and the other with a 12bp insertion between exons 19 and 20. The mother produced both abnormal and normal KNA messages. Genomic DNA analysis indicated that the probands are homozygous and the mother heterozygous for a T=>G mutation 13bp upstream from the intron 19/exon 20 boundary. The mutation unmasks a cryptic 3’ acceptor splice site resulting in two pre-mRNA splicing events. Firstly, 12bp of intron 19 are spliced in-frame with exon 20 introducing a translation stop codon. This message terminates translation at amino acid 935 and the peptide was not observed in membrane studies. Secondly, the presence of the stop codon causes skipping of exon 20. Translation of this message deletes 30 amino acids in homologous repeat o9 and alters the cell domain structure. No other mutations were found and the spectrin a ll domain deletion therefore has a long range influence over dimer self-association and ankyrin binding. Ankyrin binding assays of spectrin from an individual with hereditary spherocytosis marked by a mild spectrin deficiency showed normal function. This indicated that the spectrin deficiency was not caused by a spectrin binding defect in this individual.

Employing Homi Bhabha’s theory of “unhomely” and Foucault’s theory of “heterotopias”, this thesis will analyze the existence and troubles of identity, gender and race within Kindred. Through temporal and spatial differences, the American antebellum South’s black’ history and racial issues that have been forgotten will then be reflected. The first chapter will introduce the core arguments, background and summary of Kindred, literature review, and the theoretical approaches. The afore-mentioned theories are employed to speculate this novel in order to reveal the similarities between the issues which both contemporary blacks and the slaves of the antebellum South face. Even though contemporary blacks seem entitled to the same human rights and protected by the laws as the whites, discrimination and identity crisis that are inherited socially and culturally have not disappeared yet. The relations between the chapters will also be analyzed to investigate the characters’ transformation and growth over one hundred years through different locations. The second, third, and fourth chapters will investigate how the protagonist Dana returns to her ancestor’s epoch through time-travel during which the re-enactment of history and trauma triggered the unhomely and heterotopias. Dana, Kevin and other characters became conscious of racial and gender identity, and alienation troubles. Furthermore, this thesis will analyze the protagonists’ reconstruction of identity and home.

Annotation:

Human craniofacial malformations are a class of common congenital anomalies. Their etiology is heterogeneous and often poorly understood. To elucidate the nature of craniofacial defects at the molecular level, one approach is to study the exceptional examples of malformations which segregate in families as single gene disorders. This study employs such an approach: it is directed toward the isolation of a locus responsible for cleft palate and ankyloglossia which segregate as a single X-linked trait (CPX) in a British Columbia (B.C.) Native kindred. The original description (Lowry 1970) of the clefting defect in the B.C. kindred included submucous cleft palate and bifid or absent uvula. Sixty-three of the B.C. family members were clinically reevaluated and it was observed that some of the affected males and carrier females also present with ankyloglossia (tongue-tie). Ankyloglossia previously has been associated with X-linked cleft palate in an Icelandic kindred in which a locus responsible for cleft palate was provisionally assigned to the Xq21.3-q22 region (Moore et al. 1987; Ivens et al. 1988). This thesis describes linkage analyses in the B.C. kindred which were initiated with DNA markers from the Xq21-q22 region and were later expanded to include markers from the Xq13 region. No recombination was observed between CPX and the DNA markers DXS447 (peak lod score [Zmax ] = 9.38), DXS72 (Zmax = 7.74; Gorski et al. 1992) and DXS326 (Zmax = 2.27). A new polymorphic DNA marker, X850A/L-7, was generated and mapped to the Xq21.1-q21.3 region. X850A/L-7 was found to be partially informative in the B.C. family and also nonrecombinant with respect to CPX (Zmax = 1.91). Recombination was observed between CPX and PGK1 (Zmax = 7.63 at recombination fraction [θ̂̂̂] = 0.03) and between CPX and DXYS1 (Zmax = 5.59 at θ =0.04). These results localize B.C. CPX between PGK1 and DXYS1 in the Xq13.3-q21.31 region.
