Coquard, Olivier. "Jean-Paul Marat, une lumière en Révolution : biographie d'un homme des Lumières devenu l'Ami du peuple." Paris 1, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA010583.
Full textAbstract:
Le personnage de Marat, figure mythique de la Révolution francaise, a connu avant 1789 la carrière d'un homme des Lumières. Sa formation d'autodidacte s'étoffe au cours de ses voyages (Bordeaux, Londres, Paris). Il acquiert une compétence médicale et propose à partir de 1773 ses premières réflexions scientifiques et politiques, d'emblée très contestataires. Devenu l'un des médecins en vue à Paris,il ne parvient pas à faire triompher ses points de vue en matière de physique et se montre incapable de s'intégrer aux réseaux académiques. La Révolution permet à Marat de réutiliser son expérience : rapidement, il s'engage dans une carriere de journaliste. L'Ami du peuple lui permet d'exposer des positions très hostiles au gouvernement de la monarchie constitutionnelle. Pourchassé, clandestin,il érige très vite son propre personnage en figure emblématique de la Révolution. Très lié au Club des Cordeliers,il est élu député de Paris à la Convention nationale. Beaucoup plus inspiré par les analyses de Montesquieu que par celles de Rousseau, il est isolé au sein de la Montagne et affronte seul de nombreux assauts des Girondins. Son triomphe est le prélude à leur proscription, que son assassinat suit de très peu, faisant de lui le second et le plus important des "martyrs" de la RévolutionBefore 1789, Marat, a French Revolution mythical figure - took up the career of an enlightened man. He was an autodidact but he learned a lot during his trips (Bordeaux, London, Paris). He became a scientist and after 1773 propounded his scientifical and political theories - aggresively democratic. When in Paris, where he was a very famous doctor, he didn't succeed in making his physical points of view get the better and wasn't able to enter the academies. During the French Revolution, Marat used his experience : he took up very fast the career of a journalist. The People's friend (the paper) allowed Marat to explain his positions against the constitutional monarchy. Pursued,he set up as an emblematic figure of the Revolution

Full textAbstract:
Originaire de Menton, Rufus Massa (1742-1829), fut un magistrat et un politicien fort apprécié, sa renommée dépassant les limites régionales. Docteur en droit, avocat, il occupa, de 1773 à 1791, des postes importants dans la magistrature, tant en principauté de Monaco que dans les républiques de Gênes et de Lucques. Homme de loi réformateur il écrivit, en italien, deux ouvrages juridiques (commentaire du "traité des délits et des peines du marquis de Beccaria" et "de l'abus des procès"), donnant des avis pertinents sur la pensée du siècle des Lumières, notamment en droit pénal. Quand la révolution atteignit le domaine des Grimaldi, il participa à l'extraordinaire mutation que vivait son pays. Premier maire français de Menton (février 1793), il fut élu député à la convention nationale (mai 1793) ou, considère comme Girondin, il resta emprisonné d'octobre 1793 a décembre 1794. Le directoire, le consulat, l'empire, le virent successivement membre du comité de législation (février 1795), du conseil des cinq-cents (octobre 1795), commissaire du directoire exécutif près du département des Alpes-Maritimes (mai 1798) et membre du corps législatif (décembre 1799). De retour dans sa province natale, il reprit ses fonctions de magistrat (juge au tribunal spécial, de 1802 à 1811, puis vice-président du tribunal de première instance, de 1811 à 1814) et siégea au conseil municipal de Nice (1804-1814). En 1815, Nice redevenue sarde, massa abandonna toute vie politique, se retirant dans sa demeure du cours salera (Nice), ou il mourut le 28 octobre 1829.

Bancarel, Gilles. "Guillaume-Thomas Raynal (1713-1796) : biographie intellectuelle." Montpellier 3, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002MON30026.
Full textAbstract:
La biographie intellectuelle de l'abbé Guillaume-Thomas Raynal (1713-1796), originaire du Rouergue, est le récit de la vie tumultueuse de l'un des plus célèbres écrivains du siècle des Lumières, historien, compilateur, journaliste et avant tout auteur de l'Histoire philosophique et politique des établissements et du commerce des Européens dans les deux Indes. Ce récit est aussi celui de la genèse et de la destiné de cette œuvre collective qui accompagna l'idéologie des Lumières jusqu'à la Révolution française et à laquelle Raynal voua près de la moitié de son existence. Encyclopédie du monde colonial, l'ouvrage polémique et politique sera censuré à trois reprises et connaîtra près de cinquante éditions en moins de vingt ans. Le succès sans précédent du livre est surtout celui d'une vaste entreprise européenne à la fois éditoriale et intellectuelle réunissant derrière l'abbé Raynal une multitude de savants, voyageurs, philosophes et littérateurs, qui attirera à son auteur, dans le dernier quart du XVIIIe siècle, une renommée universelle. L'étude de la biographie de Raynal vient éclairer les raisons profondes de cet extraordinaire succès en même temps qu'elle fournit l'explication de son brutal et durable oubli jusqu'à nos jours. Derrière l'aventure éditoriale de l'Histoire des deux Indes se cachent de puissants réseaux familiaux appartenant à la noblesse provinciale et au négoce international de la toile qui devaient concourir à l'ascension sociale fulgurante de l'abbé Raynal. Par ailleurs, l'étude de l'activité inépuisable de Raynal en particulier dans le cadre des Académies laisse apparaître les ingénieux mécanismes qui allaient entretenir la réputation de l'œuvre dans le temps et dans l'espace.

Full textAbstract:
Georg Wenzel Ritter (1748-1808) was one of the greatest bassoon players from the past. He was an indispensable part of the Mannheim orchestra, arguably the finest musical ensemble in Europe at that time. He was known all over Europe as a bassoonist with tremendous ability and frequently traveled abroad as a soloist. He also taught many students throughout his lifetime, including Etienne Ozi and Georg Brandt. The bassoon on which Ritter performed was a six-keyed bassoon. This instrument precedes the earliest known documented evidence of the six-keyed bassoon's existence by nearly fifteen years. Ritter also left us a fingering chart which lists an extreme range, going all the way up to eb2 Ritter composed several works which have been out of print for over 200 years or are only available in manuscript. These works include a set of quartets for bassoon, violin, viola, and bass instrument and a duet for two bassoons. These compositions give us an excellent indication of the high level of Ritter's playing ability through the many technically demanding passages. Moreover, other composers, including W. A. Mozart, knew Ritter's playing well and composed some of their own works with Ritter in mind for the bassoon parts. Some of Mozart's works for Ritter include the bassoon parts to the opera Idomeneo K366 and the Sinfonia Concertante for Winds K297b. Ritter is certainly an important figure in the history and development of bassoon playing and deserves more recognition as a prominent bassoon performer, teacher, and composer from the 18th century.

Full textAbstract:
En 1704, Artemij Volynskij est incorporé dans l'armée et inscrit dans un régiment de dragons. En 1711, il participe à la campagne du Prut et sert de courrier entre la Russie et la porte ottomane. En 1715, il est nommé ambassadeur en Perse et négocie un traité avec le Chah. En 1719, il est chargé du gouvernement d'Astrakhan et prend part à la préparation de la campagne de Perse. Sous Catherine Iere, il est muté d'Astrakhan à Kazan. Il est considéré comme un bon administrateur; toutefois il fait l'objet de nombreuses plaintes. En 1730, sous Anna Ivanovna, Volynskij est démis de ses fonctions. En 1731, il est chargé de l'organisation des haras de la cour. En 1734, il prend part à la guerre de succession de Pologne. Ensuite il s'installe à Saint Petersbourg, où il obtient la charge de grand veneur. Il commence à écrire des essais politiques. En 1737, il est nommé ministre plénipotentiaire au congrès de Nemirov. En 1738, il devient ministre du cabinet et se fait de nombreux ennemis. En 1740, il tombe en disgrâce, et il est jugé, condamné et exécuté pour haute trahison. Sa pensée politique n'est connue que par les pièces de son procès. Il était partisan de l'autocratie et du servage, mais il préconisait d'importantes réformes afin de rétablir les affaires de l'état. Il souhaitait une participation plus active de la noblesse au gouvernement et demandait que l'on donne priorité aux russes sur les étrangers dans l'accession aux postes importants. La postérité considère Volynskij comme l'incarnation de la conscience nationaleIn 1704, Artemij Volynskij was drafted into the army and was active in a dragon regiment. In 1711 he participed in the Pruth campaign, becoming a courier between Russia and Turkey. In 1715, as ambassador to Persia, he negotiated a treaty with the Shah. In 1719, as governor of Astrakhan, he took part in the preparation of the persian campaign. During the reign of catherine i, he became governor of Kazan. He was considered a good administrator, however, many complaints were still made against him. In 1730, during the reign of Anna Ivanovna, Volynskij was forced t to resign. In 1731, he became in charge of the court stables. In 1734, he took part in the successional polish war. Later he settled in sankt-peterburg where he became master of the imperial hunt. He also wrote some political essays in 1737, volynskij was designated as full diplomat to the nemirov congress. In 1738, he became a cabinet minister and acqui red enemies among many important people. In 1740 he fell into disgrace and was tried condemned and executed for high tre ason. His political thought only became known during his trial. He stood for autocracy and serfdom, but recommended important reforms in order to restore the affairs of the state. He wished a more active participation of the nobility in the government and for the russian subjects to be given priority over foreigners in holding higher posts. Posterity considers Volynskij as the incarnation of national consciousness

Full textAbstract:
Mademoiselle Aïssé (1694?-1733) a écrit trente-six lettres à son amie genevoise Mme Calandrini. Dans cette thèse, on analyse avec attention le recueil en dégageant une structure, en posant la question de l'authenticité, en s'arrêtant sur le problème de la datation. On considère ces lettres comme une œuvre littéraire à tous les effets. Il en ressort un personnage que l'on peut facilement situer dans le sillage des romans de l'époque où le rôle de la jeune fille persécutée est rigoureusement ancré à un itinéraire déterminé. La deuxième démarche aborde la question de la lecture que la postérité a faite du recueil et surtout de la vie d'Aïssé. On reconstruit les étapes qui ont contribué à créer le personnage légendaire en analysant sa représentation dans le roman (Prévost, Mme Guenard), dans le théâtre du XIXe siècle et dans la biographie de 1846 (Sainte-Beuve) à 1991 (a. Soprani)Mademoiselle Aïssé (1694?-1733) wrote thirty-six letters to her friend miss Calandrini. This thesis analyses carefully the letters pointing out the inner structure, stating the problem of dating and authenticity. These letters are considered a literary work. As a matter of fact, Miss Aïssé is a character who belongs to XVIIIth century novel because she plays the role of a persecuted maiden. The second purpose of this research analyses how the collection of letters and Miss Aïssé's own life were read by posterity. There is the creation of a legendary character first of all in novels (Prevost, Miss Guenard), then in XIXth century theatre, but above all in the biography which is analyzed from 1846 (Sainte-Beuve) to 1991 (a. Soprani)

Full textAbstract:
Colin Maclaurin est un mathématicien écossais important dans la vie intellectuelle, sociale et politique de l'Écosse. Pour lui, l'évidence et la certitude des mathématiques justifient leur utilisation dans les autres champs du savoir. Nous montrons donc comment il les utilise en physique, en astronomie, en théologie, etc. De plus, nous montrons comment sa lecture des œuvres de Newton évolue et comment il passe d'un statut de disciple à celui de commentateur, puis à celui de chercheur aux conceptions propres. Enfin, l'étude globale de ses œuvres nous permet de dégager des lignes de forces dans sa production : une volonté de fondation, en particulier en algèbre et dans la méthode des fluxions, un usage fin et privilégié de la géométrie, et une application réciproque de la géométrie et de l'algèbre. Nous analysons de nombreux résultats nouveaux qui résultent de cette approche maclaurinienne des mathématiques.

Full textAbstract:
Jacques-Jules Bouffil was a prominent nineteenth-century French clarinetist and composer. Much of the existing biographical information for Bouffil is in French, it is often in obscure locations, and the sources available often contain discrepancies. This document provides the most comprehensive and accurate biography to date of clarinetist and composer Jacques-Jules Bouffil through examination of his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, as well as his performance career with the Paris Opéra-Comique orchestra, the Reicha Wind Quintet, and other organizations.
The compositional contributions of Bouffil include a number of chamber music pieces, most notably, six trios for three B-flat clarinets, op. 7 nos. 1-3 and op. 8 nos. 1-3. These six trios comprise some of the most substantial works composed for the medium. They deserve to be better known because of their unusual concertant style writing and compositional rigor. This study offers a new performance edition with rehearsal score of Bouffil’s Trio no. 2, op. 7, a work that is not readily available to modern performers.

Full textAbstract:
Josiah Tucker a toujours suscité la curiosité, et fut aussi célèbre de son vivant qu’incompris après sa mort. Né en 1713 au Pays de Galles, pasteur de l’église Saint Stephen de Bristol de 1749 à 1793, doyen de Gloucester à partir de 1758, il fut un dignitaire de l’Église d’Angleterre respecté, qui publia plus de soixante-dix articles, tracts et ouvrages sur les sujets les plus polémiques de son temps. Une ambition intellectuelle l’a guidé toute sa vie : celle de créer une science économique au service de la morale chrétienne. Néanmoins, tant sa personne que ses idées n’ont jamais été vraiment comprises. Il est vrai que son discours a de quoi surprendre : Tucker croyait en l’égalité absolue entre les femmes et les hommes, les riches et les pauvres, les Anglais et les étrangers ; mais il haïssait la démocratie et les « droits de l’homme ». Il fustigeait le despotisme français et le dogmatisme catholique, et considérait que le système politique anglais issu de la Glorieuse Révolution était le meilleur au monde ; mais il se réjouissait ouvertement des défaites militaires de son pays, et souhaitait la disparition de l’Empire britannique. C’était un chrétien fervent ; mais à ses yeux, la plus grande menace à laquelle était confronté le christianisme en Angleterre était la diffusion de l’« enthousiasme religieux » des non conformistes. Voilà qui peut expliquer les difficultés des commentateurs à lui attribuer une place claire. Cette thèse tente de saisir la signification de l’œuvre de Tucker, en s’attachant à mettre au jour sa genèse et ses différents usages. Pour ce faire, les contextualisations sociales, institutionnelles, culturelles, et économiques me furent aussi utiles que les contextualisations intertextuelles traditionnellesJosiah Tucker has always aroused curiosity, and was as famous in his lifetime as misunderstood after his death. Born in 1713 in Wales, pastor of St. Stephen’s Church in Bristol from 1749 to 1793, Dean of Gloucester from 1758 to his death, he was a distinguished dignitary of the Church of England, who published more than seventy articles, pamphlets and books concerning the most controversial issues of his time. One intellectual ambition guided him throughout his life: to create an economic science serving Christian principles. However, few people really understood his ideas. It is true that what he said was surprising: Tucker believed in absolute equality between women and men, rich and poor, Englishmen and foreigners; but he hated democracy and “human rights”. He castigated the French despotism and the Catholic dogma, and considered that the English political system since the Glorious Revolution was the best in the world, but he openly rejoiced at military defeats of his country, and wished the entire and complete demise of the British Empire. He was a devout Christian, but for him, the greatest threat to Christianity in England was the dissemination of “religious enthusiasm”. This may explain the difficulties of commentators to assign him a clear place in the history of ideas. This thesis tries to understand the work of Tucker, by uncovering its genesis and its various uses through ages, focusing on different contexts, whatever they may be (social, cultural, institutional, etc. )

Kuntz, Katherine. "Toward a religion of humanity : Frances Wright's crusade for republican values." Virtual Press, 1998. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1074540.
Full textAbstract:
Frances Wright attempted to reform America between 1825 and 1839. Her activities were unlike any other for a woman of her time. In public lectures to audiences of men and women throughout the East and Midwest, she spoke on the evils of orthodox religion and advocated abolition, equal rights, and universal education for all people regardless of gender or class. In both action and thought, she challenged all notions of nineteenth-century womanhood. Wright's public career helps illuminate the history of antebellum American reform because it reflects the ferment and range of such activity.This study will demonstrate that ideology as a category of study is useful when examining nineteenth-century women in several interrelated contexts. Unlike previous studies examining her as a women's rights advocate, however, this is not a feminist interpretation. Wright's significance as a humanitarian is much larger than any emphasis she gave to women in her rhetoric. Part of her motivation, like her sisters in benevolence reform, involved Christianity and orthodox religion. But unlike most women of her time, Wright believed religion prevented the realization of republican values -- in particular, equality -- because the clergy perpetuated elements of theology scientific methods could not prove true. Intellectual development and social improvement could not occur, she boldly asserted, until Americans threw off religion's blanket of ignorance. Most Americans rejected Wright's denunciations of religion and calls for equality, but to some her message rang true. Her rhetoric planted in progressive women concepts about religious constraints on females and the possibilities of egalitarianism. These individuals would become leaders in the women's rights movement during the final decades of the century.Department of History

Kuiters, Willem G. J. "Les Britanniques au Bengale, 1756-1773 : une société en transition vue à travers la biographie d'un rebelle : William Bolts (1739-1808)." Paris, EHESS, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998EHES0021.
Full textAbstract:
Cette these a pour but de decrire le changement de nature de la presence britannique au bengale entre la bataille de plassey et le vote du regulating act par le parlement britannique en 1773. Cette periode est marquee par une crise de croissance du systeme de gouvernement de l'east india company. La compagnie, prise de court par les resultats imprevus des actes de ses representants au bengale, se vit brusquement placee a la tete d'un grand pays riche et peuple ce qui entraina une augmentation considerable des responsabilites administratives du gouvernement a calcutta qui dut faire appel a un plus grand nombre de servants, provoquant ainsi une forte croissance de la societe europeenne au bengale. L'auteur se propose de retracer cette evolution de la situation au bengale en suivant la carriere de william bolts. Les quatre premiers chapitres de la these dressent le decor des activites de la compagnie et de ses agents pendant la periode etudiee. Les sept chapitres suivants retracent la carriere de william bolts au bengale, en mettant l'accent sur ses entreprises privees, qui sont a l'origine de ses collisions avec ses superieurs hierarchiques. Les trois chapitres qui suivent traitent les actions en justice que bolts intente aupres des cours de la metropole contre ses anciens superieurs hierarchiques, ainsi que le defi public qu'il lance a la compagnie en publiant ses considerations on india affairs, oeuvre extremement critique, qui eut un retentissement considerable dans l'opinion publique londonienne. Enfin, le dernier chapitre resume les critiques formulees par bolts a rencontre de la compagnie elle-meme et de la facon dont elle gouverne ses possessions indiennes. Il est egalement fait etat des solutions qu'il suggere pour remedier aux defauts, anomalies et abus qu'il a expose; au public. Ces deux themes sont ensuite compares aux motifs qu'a le gouvernement britannique d'intervenir dans les affaires de la compagnie en 1772, et aux mesures effectives qui decoulerent de cette intervention, telles qu'elles figurent dans le regulating act de 1773. Bolts a ete le premier a reussir a "populariser" la question de l'inde et a la placer au coeur de l'attention et des debats publics, de meme qu'il fournit au peuple britannique la metaphore la plus repandue pour decrire ce pays, qu'il appelle "le plus riche joyau de la couronne britannique"This thesis describes the development in the nature and circumstances of british presence in india between the defeat of siraj-ud-daula at plassey and the regulating act of 1773. During this period, the english east india company was faced with an enormous growth of its administrational responsibilities caused by the acts of its proper servants in bengal over whom they could exercise but a limited control. This growth of administrational responsibilities provoked a growth of the number of servants in bengal and thus of the british community at calcutta. The company's administrational structures were rapidly overtaken by the circumstances and the company's bengal government experienced great difficulties in restraining its subjects. The author proposes an inside view of this evolution by following the career of william bolts. The first four chapters describe the company itself and the role and activities of its servants in bengal. The next seven chapters follow the career of william bolts paying particular attention to his private trade, which was at the origin of his collisions with the company's bengal executive. Three chapters are dedicated to the judicial actions bolts subsequently brings before the courts of justice in britain against his former superiors. The chapters also describe bolts' public attack on the company in publishing his considerations on india affairs, provoking the outrage of the metropolitan public. The last chapter pays attention to the particular criticisms bolts utters at the company's address and describes the solutions he proposes to repair the damage done and to put british government of india on a sound basis. These two themes are compared to the motives the british government had to interfere in the company's affairs in 1772 and to the measures that resulted from this interference as formulated in the regulating act of 1773. William bolts has been the first to "popularise" indian affairs and to place the subject at the heart of public attention and popular debate. He was the man who furnished the british with that most widespread of metaphors to describe the country they were to govern for more than two centuries: "the richest jewel in the british crown"

Full textAbstract:
Aim: To create new meaning of the experiences of intensive care survivors during early recovery and the meaning of “self” during this time. To add to the understanding of how support should be focussed for survivors during recovery.
Background: Survival from a critical event/illness and intensive care unit experience is increasing, as is associated physical and psychological complications. Complications are due to the severity of illness, the intensive care experience itself and the nature of the treatments which promote survival. If complications remain untreated increased health care service uptake and reduced quality of life can ensue. Despite the potential impact upon individuals and beleaguered health care systems, inadequate support service provision in Australia and across the world persists.
Design and participants: An interpretive biographical exploration of intensive care survivors experiences of recovery following hospital discharge. Nine participants were recruited from a single centre in metropolitan Perth, Western Australia. All participants had been ventilated for a minimum period of twenty four hours following a critical event/illness.
Methods: Data were collected from diaries, face to face interviews, memos and field notes. Participants diarised for three months commencing two months after hospital discharge. At five months following discharge participants were interviewed about the content of their diaries and the symbols and signifiers within them to create a shared meaning of their experiences. Analysis of diaries and interviews were undertaken using two frameworks. This process enabled the identification of themes throughout participants’ stories and offers a unique portrait of recovery through their individual lens.
Findings: All of the participants considered their lives had irreparably changed as a result of their experience. The biographical methods provided a safe and creative way to reveal inner thoughts and feelings which may not have been revealed using other methods. This unique view through the lens of the survivor identified how unsupported by health care professionals they felt following discharge. Turmoil existed between survivors’ surface and inner worlds as they struggled to conform to the constraints of what recovery should be; imposed by the biomedical model. The process of constructing their stories enabled participants to reflect upon their experiences of recovery and bring a sense of coherence to their experiences.
Conclusion: The use of the biographical method gave the participants a voice through which they could be heard and a way to bring clarity to their experiences. The process of constructing their stories was considered important to their recovery process, and in particular in enabling reflection on how far they had traversed. Often survivors are unable to articulate their inner most thoughts and experiences for fear of being misinterpreted. The methods reported here gave them an opportunity to do so through non-verbal techniques. Analysis of diary entries may also identify maladaptation in survivors and enable interventions to be individually targeted before chronicity is established. The findings from this study may lead to a greater awareness among health care providers of the problems survivors face, and improved support services more broadly, based on frameworks more appropriate for this population.

Full textAbstract:
Edward Partridge (1793-1840) became the first bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1831, two months after joining the church. He served in this capacity until his death in 1840. The first chapter examines his preparation for his role as bishop. Having no precedent to follow, he drew extensively upon his background and experiences in civic leadership, business management, and property ownership in order to succeed in his assignment. Partridge moved to Missouri in 1831 at the forefront of Mormon settlement in the state, where on behalf of the church he ultimately purchased hundreds of acres, which he then distributed to the gathering saints as part of the law of consecration. In addition, he prepared consecration affidavits and oversaw each family's contributions and stewardships. The second chapter examines Partridge's ability to succeed in his assignment, and the tensions that he felt between seeing the vision of Zion and administering the practical details. Forty years after his death, his children began to write extensively about their father. The third chapter of this thesis examines their writings, focusing on how their memories of their father illuminate their own lives as well as their father's. The final chapter finds that the three published descendants' modern attempts to chronicle the life of Edward Partridge each fall short in at least one of the following: the field of history, literature, or a faithful representation of his life.

Molloy, Doreen. "Saying ‘No’: A biographical analysis of the experiences of women with a genetic predisposition to developing breast/ovarian cancer who reject risk reducing surgery." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2015. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1713.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Genetic technologies have identified some of the genes implicated in cancer susceptibility. Women with mutations in breast/ovarian cancer-susceptibility genes (BRCA1 and 2) have a lifetime combined risk of breast/ovarian cancer of more than 80%. Risk reducing surgery (RRS) reduces cancer risk by as much as 90% in high risk populations. Despite this, some BRCA1/2 mutation-positive women say no to RRS.
Purpose: To illuminate an understanding of why women at high risk of developing breast/ovarian cancer say no to risk reducing surgery (RRS).
Design: Denzin’s (1989) interpretive biography was combined with Dolby-Stahl’s (1985) literary folkloristic methodology to provide a contextualised narrative of the life experiences of six high risk women who said no to RRS. The participants’ stories were captured through semi-structured interviews then read and interpreted through the lenses of three literary theories namely Marxist, Foucauldian and Feminist.
Findings: Different understandings of risk were central to the decision to say no to RRS. RRS was understood as a risk to body and self which superseded the genetic risk of cancer. However despite having the strength to keep their still-healthy bodies intact, the participants benchmarked their decisions to say no against the dominant discourse on cancer risk, leaving them in an unending state of flux as to whether they had made the right decision. The participants shared a genetic pessimism but there also existed an emergent private folklore which illuminated how they attempted to make sense of their experiences and negotiate the conflicts and contradictions thrown up by competing discourses.
Conclusions: The relationship between genetic testing and cancer prevention strategies is not straightforward and genetic information has the potential to harm as well as help high risk women. It is important health care providers approach this area from the viewpoints of those directly involved since without understanding; strategies to support these women may be ineffective.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis was to come to a better understanding of the American mind at the time of the Revolution through biography. Through the use of primary and secondary sources, John and Samuel Adams were used as case studies. John represented the faction in favor of a rigid hierarchy and a natural aristocracy. Samuel represented the artisans and farmers who were fighting for democracy and equality in government. The thesis also discussed the differences between the Adams chapter two, the cousins' backgrounds and respective involvement in the Revolution were discussed. Chapter three was a discussion of the similarities between the Adams cousins. In chapter four, the fundamental differences between John and Samuel were discussed, differences that became apparent during the revolution. cousins and the men they represented. Ultimately by 1800, the new nation had left the cousins behind. The thesis concluded that the Adamses made massive contributions to the revolution, reflecting the eighteenth century American mind and contributing to the establishment of our ultimate form of government.Department of History

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the manuscript of the memoirs of Dov Ber Birkenthal, Ber of Bolechow. The memoirs describe Jewish existence in eighteenth century Poland and provide valuable information regarding economic, social and cultural matters of that era. Uncovered in 1912, the manuscript was edited and published in Hebrew and translated into English by Dr. M. Vishnitzer.By primary supposition of the present thesis is that Dr. Vishnitzer's transcription of the manuscript is inaccurate, and for this reason, a re-working of the memoirs has been undertaken. In addition to providing an authentic transcription of the manuscript, this thesis also contains a description of Birkenthal's life, an analysis of the uniqueness of this somewhat exceptional person and an account of how the memoirs have been used in the literature. Moreover, the historical value of the memoirs has been assessed, and an indepth analysis of the flaws contained in Vishniter's transcription has been provided.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is the first full-length study of the English clergyman and historian William Cave (1637-1713). As one of a number of Restoration divines invested in exploring the lives and writings of the early Christians, Cave has nonetheless won only meagre interest from early-modernists in the past decade. Among his contemporaries and well into the nineteenth century Cave’s vernacular biographies of the Apostles and Church Fathers were widely read, but it was with the two volumes of his Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688 and 1698), his life’s work, that he made his most important and lasting contribution to scholarship. The first aim of the thesis is therefore to build on a recent quickening of research into the innovative early-modern genre of historia literaria by exploring how, why, and with what help, in the context of late seventeenth-century European intellectual culture, Cave decided to write a work of literary history. To do so it makes extensive use of the handwritten drafts, annotations, notebooks, and letters that he left behind, giving a comprehensive account of his reading and scholarly practices from his student-days in 1650s Cambridge and then as a young clergyman in the 1660s to his final, unsuccessful attempts to publish a revised edition of his book at the end of his life. Cave’s motives, it finds, were multiple, complex, and sometimes conflicting: they developed in response to the immediate practical concerns of the post-Restoration Church of England even as they reflected some of the deeper-lying tensions of late humanist scholarship. The second reason for writing a thesis about Cave is that it makes it possible to reconsider an influential historiographical narrative about the origins of the ‘modern’ disciplinary category of literature. Since the 1970s the consensus among scholars has been that the nineteenth-century definition of literature as imaginative fictions in verse and prose – in other words literature as it is now taught in schools and universities – more or less completely replaced the early-modern notion of literature, literae, as learned books of all kinds. This view is challenged in the final section of this thesis, which traces the influence of Cave’s work on some of the canonical authors of the English literary tradition, including Johnson and Coleridge. Coleridge’s example, in particular, helps us to see why Cave and scholars like him were excluded lastingly from genealogies of English studies in the twentieth century, despite having given the discipline many of its characteristic concerns and aversions.

Full textAbstract:
By the end of the American Revolution, Nathanael Green ranked second only to Washington as a leader of the Americans' fight for independence. How he developed the character that made him such a remarkably successful Revolutionary general, however, has never been established. Four influences seem to have been paramount in shaping Greene's character. First, his upbringing as a Rhode Island Quaker bequeathed to him a pronounced strain of self-reliance and anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian attitudes. Second, though raised a Quaker, he early began a lifelong devotion to reading in Enlightenment thought, the classics, history, literature, and legal, social, and political commentary. This reading sharpened an already impressive intellect. It also made a powerful case for reason and rationality, personal character, republican and representative forms of government, and public virtue, while discouraging luxury, ambition, and the pursuit of private interests. Third, when Greene reached his majority he became a full partner in his family's business, sharpening his managerial skills, establishing important contacts, and whetting his ambition. Finally, the colonies' worsening relations with England radicalized Greene's political views and impelled him to begin an intensive study of military affairs. Thus he became a patriot and earned a brigadier general's commission in the Continental Army; and thus, through his energy, insight, and ability, he rose to the summit of American command. From 1775 to 1780 he served two long apprenticeships, first as subordinate commander under Washington, and then as the army's quartermaster general, steadily refining his political and military thought. By the end of 1779, no American general understood better than Greene the need to preserve the army rather than aggressively seek battle, to protract the war and wear away British will, to establish a strong central government and standing army, and to sustain the people's support. He was ready for independent command.

Erstmals wird ein systematisch-thematisches Werkverzeichnis des Komponisten vorgelegt, um das heute noch greifbare musikalische Œuvre zu erfassen bzw. zur Klärung fraglicher oder offensichtlicher Falschzuweisungen beizutragen. In einer Analyse repräsentativ ausgewählter Werke der von Michl verwenden musikalischen Gattungen wird die Kompositionsart und Musiksprache Michls näher betrachtetA compser with a clever mind - was the verdict of Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart about Joseph Willibald Michl who was probably the most famous sprout of a musician’s dynasty. Over four generations Michl’s family influenced the musical scene of the time from the Upper Palatinate to Bavaria and beyond. Next to Schubart who was not only a German poet but also an organist, a composer and a journalist Michl, electoral chamber music composer of Maximilian III, was also praised by the English musicologist Charles Burney and the historian and author Lorenz von Westenrieder. By means of new sources this study researches the genealogy, biography and work of Michl and apart from that completes his curriculum vitae. The study includes the first entire list of Michl’s works recording his musical oeuvre or resolving doubtfully or obviously mistaken classification. Michl’s manner of composition and his musical language is analysed at representatively selected works of different genres

Full textAbstract:
Music in South Africa today is as diverse as its people. Due to this diversity, there are many different ways of describing the various styles of music in the country. Because of my interest in these styles and in gender and music studies, I have focused on the lives and works of three South African women composers, namely, Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph (b. 1948), Princess Constance Magogo (1900--1984), and Rosa Nepgen (1909--2000). These women come from English, Zulu, and Afrikaans circumstances respectively, and my study reflects their individual stories and how their music developed in the South African context. Jeanne Zaidel-Rudolph composes mainly in classical music genres, while Princess Magogo, a performer on the musical bow, concentrates on Zulu traditional song repertoire. Rosa Nepgen's output consists mostly of art songs. While there are links between these three women, each has left her own personal "songprint" to enrich the musical life of South Africa.

ABSTRACT
ORDER AND ARDOR: THE REVIVAL SPIRITUALITY OF REGULAR BAPTIST OLIVER HART, 1723–1795
Eric Coleman Smith, Ph.D.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2015
Chair: Dr. Michael A. G. Haykin
This dissertation argues that Regular Baptist Oliver Hart shared the revival spirituality of the Great Awakening, and that revival played a greater role in Regular Baptist identity than is often suggested. Chapter 2 demonstrates that Hart’s life and ministry were profoundly shaped by the evangelical revival of the eighteenth century. He was converted in revival as a young man, promoted revival at the height of his ministry in Charleston, South Carolina, and longed for revival in his latter years in Hopewell, New Jersey. Chapter 3 examines Hart’s revival piety. The theology of the Christian life that undergirded his ministry was the evangelical Calvinism that united Christians from across denominational lines during the Great Awakening. Chapter 4 focuses on the most intense personal experience of revival in Hart’s ministry, an awakening among the youth of the Charleston Baptist Church in 1754. An analysis of Hart’s diary during this period proves that it belongs to the emerging genre of eighteenth century “revival narrative,” epitomized in Jonathan Edwards’s A Faithful Narrative. Chapter 5 shows that Hart’s spirituality was marked by the evangelical activism of the Great Awakening, as illustrated by his efforts in evangelism, gospel partnerships, education, and politics. Chapter 6 demonstrates that Hart and a number of other Regular Baptists shared in the evangelical catholicity of the revival. While Hart embraced the ecumenical impulse of the awakening to promote revival, he also maintained deep Baptist convictions.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis performs an explorative reading of James
Boswell’s Life of Samuel Johnson (1791) in order to interrogate
assumptions about the function, use and epistemological limits of
direct speech in Boswell’s work, and the Eighteenth Century
more generally. Rather than ignoring the problems posed by the
competing and contradictory epistemological and ontological
claims of the presentation of speech in text, the thesis reads
Boswell as engaging with these problems at different scales. Each
narrative scale carries with it different assumptions about facts
and events, and different conventions with which to represent
speech as a combination of both. The thesis aligns the problems
of narration at different scales with different forms of
narrative intervention and manipulation of the putatively raw
materials of Johnson’s speech and their transition into the
text published in the Life. It does this by drawing on archival
research investigating the many states of Johnson’s speech in
Boswell’s records, drafts and the final version of the Life.
Chapter One investigates Boswell’s attitude to the project as a
whole, seeing in his ideal of journal-keeping and personal
affinity a vision of biography that draws on the non-narrative
conventions of different genres. Chapter Two traces Boswell’s
engagements with connected events and sustained scenes before
investigating his own role as a nodal point constructing extended
analogue conversations between Johnson and other figures over
many years. In these chapters the print technologies of quotation
marks and dashes are read as the mechanism that allows narrative
connections at these different scales. Chapter Three investigates
the workings of dialogue through Boswell’s use of parenthetical
stage directions, reading them as a method of massaging his
journals into narratives. Chapter Four turns to Boswell’s
writerly interventions on the surface of words, seeing in
italicisation a blunt tool for marking conceptual and textual as
well as aural differences in speech, and considers the stress
this places on interpretation. Chapter Five considers Boswell’s
interpretive interventions within the orthography of words
themselves, investigating his attention to the potential of type
to convey aberrant or historically particular sounds through the
representation of laughter, accents and onomatopoeia. Each level
of analysis reveals both the contingency of the whole enterprise
and the inescapably preemptive interpretive choices made by
Boswell in the course of his composition. Boswell emerges as a
writer engaging constantly with the demands and contradictions of
what remains an under-theorised yet crucial aspect of non-fiction
narrative in a context of changing ideas about truth and
narrative.

This dissertation is a report on a study about autobiography as genre, focusing on the voice
of the white, Afrikaans-speaking woman. The point of departure for this study was a survey
of the number of autobiographies written in Afrikaans by these women. With the focus on
the limited number of such autobiographies three autobiographies were studied, namely,
Met die Boere in die veld (Sarah Raal), My beskeie deel (M.E.R.) and 'n Wonderlike geweld
(Elsa Joubert). Within the framework of the complexity systems theory the role of the
observer (author/reader) was studied to determine the possibility of demonstrating that
when reading/writing an autobiography, some epistemological changes may occur,
manifesting as conceptual changes in the mind of the observer. It could be demonstrated
that because of women's sensitivity to interpersonal relationships they are capable of acting
as unique registers of the complexity of individual existence, while remaining aware of the
constant influence, effect and needs of the other.AFRIKAANS & THEORY OF LIT
