Full text
Abstract:
This study discusses the way in which hunters perceive and relate to nature and wildlife. Using the qualitative data analysis technique, the study examines how culture, attitudes, perceived nature connectedness and actions toward nature reflect certain characteristics, which makes it possible to establish the type of relationships that hunters have with nature. Known for their popular hunting grounds and historical character, the study draws on examples from Southern and Eastern Africa. Specific value dimensions and wildlife orientations were applied to establish the different types of hunter-nature relationships. Historically, colonial hunting practices (which differed considerably from that of indigenous communities who intermingled freely with wildlife, and conserved their resources according to their cultures) are synonymous with large-scale slaughtering, disregard for natural environments and the extinction of wildlife species. Viewing nature and humans as separate entities meant that hunters had a need to dominate and control nature. Since then, post-independence hunters' relationships with nature have gradually transformed to support a more integrated understanding of connecting and communicating with nature.

Abstract:
This doctoral project analyses Eurocentric and anthropocentric ideologies about nature, tracing them back to the eighteenth century invasion and colonisation of Australia. This research informs my series of unmonumental sculptural objects that address environmental issues and concerns in Australia. In these works, I explore the power of the visual metaphor offered by salvaged materials (what some might call ‘rubbish’, a term I unpack), utilising two contrasting techniques. The first involves incorporating the qualities of trompe l'oeil, which I use as a form of mimetic critique. The second involves drawing upon a junk aesthetic that rejects orderly for disorderly, elaborate for informal, whereby I seek to reflect the dynamics of unmonumentality. As detailed in this exegesis, I have adopted a self-reflexive and interpretative approach, mindful of how I belong to a colonising culture. Drawing on decolonising methodologies, my work aims to question colonial history and to challenge dominant ideologies underpinning white Australian attitudes and practices towards the natural terrain. My purpose is to be open to new ways of thinking about the connection to land and self, initiated through the theoretical frameworks of ecological thought and ecofeminism which highlight different narratives and knowledge systems existing within Aboriginal and white Australian culture. I ask how can objects created from salvaged materials question colonial history, challenge dominant ideologies, and engage with cross-cultural narratives, enabling us to rethink the relationship with nature in contemporary Australia?

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-94).
In current scholarship, the colonial period within Africa has long been defined as a controversial era, almost encapsulating the entirety of Occidental hubris in one distinct age of time. By and large, the European powers invaded foreign lands, claimed them as their own by right of superior cultural standing, attempted to spread their way of life, and manipulated both the occupied territories and their inhabitants for their own economic, cultural, and spiritual gain. Such incursions were morally justified by the Oriental paradigm, which broadly claimed that European cultural and intellectual superiority gave the cultural Occident the authority to control, speak for, and know the entirety of the Oriental world. As a colonial power, France brought its own unique perspective to the pursuit of colonial might in the form of the concept of the mission civilisatrice and the legacy of the French Revolution. Within the auspices of the larger Orientalist paradigm which guided the second colonial empire, France imposed its civilizing mission on the largely Muslim North and West African colonies. These occupied lands posed a special threat to French hegemony because they shared a common monotheistic religion which could not be easily dismissed on the basis of Orientalist logic and could potentially pose a very real threat to French control. Thus, French policy toward Islam was unceasingly suspicious of Islam ' evolving in its understanding of the religion and Muslim African culture but always with an eye to the practical aspects of administrating and controlling an Islamic colony. This paper utilizes the larger complexities surrounding the French relationship with Islam as the basis for an examination of the lives of two colonial figures, Octave Houdas and Xavier Coppolani. Both men were prominent Islamists with career trajectories deeply steeped within Orientalist rhetoric in the late nineteenth-century and with strong ties to Algeria. However, a detailed and comprehensive accounting of the significance of their contributions and how they each advanced the Orientalist perspective has not yet been a focus of scholarly historical inquiry. Octave Houdas functioned within the realm of scholarly study ' educating a new generation of Orientalists at institutions in both Algeria and France and translating documents relative to the Islamic histories of North and West Africa. In contrast, Xavier Coppolani worked as a self-styled Islamists for the French colonial government, exploring and writing strategic treatises on how the pre-existing Muslim culture could be best employed to French gain. During their respective lifetimes both men played a critical role in the evolving French conceptions of Islam yet have had their lives and works essentialized and undervalued by modern historical study. By employing a wide variety of their works, spanning from French archival material to government reports to textbooks, this paper will address both their individual contributions to Franco Islamic relations and the larger roles they, as the Orientalist scholar and administrator, respectively, played in the perpetuation of the Orientalist paradigm. Many documents represented primary sources which were in French and were reviewed at locations in France.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focused on the use of paper patterns for home dressmaking in colonial Australasia, and the pioneer of paper pattern manufacturing, Madame Weigel. Her pattern series, catalogue, and fashion journal were examined, and an investigative approach taken to deconstruct this archive. This established an evidential data set of paper patterns for the period from 1878 to 1910, providing an important new resource for the identification and dating of extant fashion and clothing artefacts from late nineteenth century Australasia. Using mainly primary resources, comparisons were drawn between Madame Weigel’s patterns and those produced by overseas manufacturers. As Madame Weigel drew on her own international background, she passed such influences on to her Australasian customers through her patterns and travelogues, published in her journal. Madame Weigel’s transnational experience, it is argued, influenced her publications, in turn disseminating the global view of fashion to her customers. Madame Weigel’s adaptive strategies were argued as necessarily derivative of overseas trends and influences. Within the global context of transnational fashion trends, Madame Weigel’s empathy with her antipodean location was apparent. The asynchronicity of the antipodean calendar, climate, and seasons was fundamental to her work, set in a time when adaptation was resisted and northern hemisphere influences still strong. Results showed that Weigel’s pattern series supported both high fashion garments and everyday clothing. Even though women were found to be sewing primarily for themselves and their daughters during this period, Madame Weigel’s pattern range was inclusive of all family members across the lifecycle. New, empirical sizing information revealed how women’s patterns increased in size over seven decades. A mixed method approach drew on material culture, everyday history, and transnational studies to investigate the context and meaning of Madame Weigel’s business and impact.

Lu, Jenny. "Between homes : examining the notion of the uncanny in art practice and its relationship to post-colonial identity and contemporary society in Taiwan." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2007. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/5251/.

Full text
Abstract:
My research focuses on the notion of 'not being at home' in relation to identity issues, post-colonial society and art practice, focusing in particular on Taiwan. I explore Sigmund Freud's theory of the 'uncanny' (unheimlich) and argue that in contemporary society, experiencing the 'uncanny' is common, while it is nearly impossible to obtain the feeling of 'being at home'. This phenomenon is, shown to be present in art, film and literature. My research asks how artists deliver a sense of the 'uncanny' within their artwork, and how they create feelings of unease in the viewer. I will examine work produced by contemporary artists, focusing especially those in Taiwan, such as Chen Chieh-jen and Wu Mah. I will argue that artists living in a post-colonial society such as Taiwan experience the feeling of 'not being at home' to a greater extent, due to their country's unique history and the ongoing contentious political situation. Re-reading Freud's concept of the 'uncanny' in relation to post-colonial theories and the attempt to construct personal identity, notions such as the 'return of the repressed', 'thedouble' and 'death drive' will be applied to explore identity confusions. I base my argument on issues of confusion about personal and cultural identity, which originate in contrasting ideals and beliefs about 'home' (ideas that are formed by the divergent return of repressed memories that evoke the 'uncanny' social experience). I also present a body of art-work that explores these issues. Intertwined with psychoanalytic theory, the work informs and contextualises the earlier arguments, and creates new insights into the theory of the 'uncanny' and its origins. While allowing me to draw new interpretations of my own art practice, it reinforces my earlier conclusions about the sensation of 'not being at home'.

Abstract:
The effects of the colonial project in Kenya created multi-faceted damages to the land and indigenous people-groups. Using the lens of ecofeminism, this study examines the undergirding structures that produce systems such as colonization that oppress and destroy land, people, and other beings. By highlighting the experience of the Kikuyu people within the Kenyan colonial program, the innovative and ingenious response of Wangari Maathai's Green Belt Movement proves to be a relevant and effective counter to women's disempowerment and environmental devastation in a post-colonial nation. The approach of the Green Belt Movement offers a unique and accessible method for empowering women, restoring the land, and addressing loss of cultural identity, while also contributing a theoretical template for addressing climate change.

Abstract:
Comment se penser Africain au XXIe siècle, tout en étant à la fois héritier d’une histoire travestie, et désireux de dépasser les imaginaires stéréotypés générés par ladite histoire ? Cette question suggère que l’héritage colonial, précisément « la raison nègre » – laquelle est composée de deux approches distinctes, à savoir « la conscience occidentale du Nègre » et « la conscience nègre du Nègre » –, fait l’objet d’une critique. Cette critique qui se veut « objective », prône un humanisme de « l’en-commun » qui transcende l’« universalisme abstrait » occidental qui avait fait de l’Europe le centre du monde. Plusieurs discours, qui convergent vers un but commun, dévoilent une écriture qui s’investit dans la déconstruction des représentations et des imaginaires culturels forgés par l’Occident : ils interrogent le rapport Afrique-Monde et la perception identitaire en tenant compte de l’évolution historique des sociétés de ce continent. La plupart des essais et des fictions littéraires d’Achille Mbembe, d'Alain Mabanckou, de Léonora Miano, de Célestin Monga et de Fatou Diome révèlent que la race, le Nègre et le mot « Afrique » sont des fabriques, lesquelles ont été mobilisées en faveur de la traite atlantique. Ce processus de mise en fiction de l’altérité africaine semble encore d’actualité démontrant à cet effet que la condition des Africains à notre époque serait étroitement liée au passé colonial. Une analyse à la fois poétique et sociocritique des textes, mettant en avant des études croisées de ces œuvres, lesquelles confrontent les différentes perspectives, s’avérait indispensable. Dans la mesure où l’avortement des indépendances africaines occasionné par les anciennes puissances coloniales en complicité avec leurs alliés africains, les « plaies sociales » sévissant quotidiennement en Afrique et l’immigration africaine sans cesse croissante en direction des pays occidentaux indiquent que les rapports Afrique-Occident, en particulier, ne paraissent pas encore sereins ni « équitables ». D’après ces écrivains, l’identité africaine – à laquelle ils s’intéressent et qu’ils conçoivent comme une donnée flexible – s’est nourrie des multiples rencontres de l’Afrique avec principalement l’Occident, donnant ainsi naissance à une africanité inclusive : favorable à l’ouverture de l’Afrique au monde et à l’intégration du monde en Afrique
How can we consider ourselves African in the twenty-first century when we are both the heirs of a disguised history and willing to go beyond the stereotyped imaginaries inherited from it? This question suggests that the colonial inheritance, precisely the "Negro reason", which is composed of two distinct approaches, namely "the Negro's Western consciousness" and "the Negro's negro consciousness", is submitted to criticism. That criticism – allegedly "objective'' – advocates an "in-common" humanism that transcends the "Western abstract universalism" which had placed Europe at the centre of the world. Several discourses that converge on a common purpose reveal a writing that is based on the deconstruction of the Western representations and stereotyped cultural imaginaries. They investigate the Africa-World relationship and the concept of identity taking into account the historical evolution of societies from this continent. Most of the literary essays and fictions by Achille Mbembe, Alain Mabanckou, Leonora Miano, Celestin Monga and Fatou Diome show that the race, the Negro and the word "Africa" are factories that were mobilized for the Atlantic trade. This process of putting the African otherness in fiction is still current. Indeed, it demonstrates that Africans' conditions today would be closely linked to the colonial past. A poetic and socio critical analysis of these texts, by highlighting cross-studies of these works which compare different angles, appeared necessary. In so far as the interruption of African independences caused by the former colonial powers in complicity with their African allies named the "social plagues" operating daily in Africa and the ever-increasing African immigration towards Western countries, indicate that the relationships between Africa and the Westerners in particular seem neither serene nor "equitable" yet. According to these writers, the African identity – in which they are interested in and which they consider as flexible data – has been nourished by the multiple encounters of Africa with the West mainly; thus giving birth to an inclusive Africanity: suitable to the opening of Africa to the world and the integration of the world into Africa

Full text
Abstract:
Baptists in Hong Kong, originally a peripheral denomination before the World War II, had become the largest Protestant community by the time of the handover of the colony to China in July 1997. This study aims to narrate and explicate the formation of the church-state practice of Baptists in Hong Kong in the period of 1949 to 1984. The thesis is focused on the question of the extent to which the British colonial policy contributed to the rise of the Baptist community in Hong Kong. The thesis will uncover the roots of the British colonial strategy in the post-World War II era and how the Baptist denomination happened to be part of the scheme. The thesis will also attempt to account for the formation of the Baptist church-state practice. The thesis finally will employ John Howard Yoder’s criticism of Constantinianism to critique the Baptist church-state practice in the post-World War II period, and the core concepts of Yoder’s Jeremianic model will serve as an alternative of the Baptist church-state practice in the post-colonial era. The study will be based upon a theological and empirical research. The socio-political- ecclesiological context of Hong Kong in the post-World War II period and the British colonial policy in the territory will be scrutinised. The uniqueness of Baptist polity that has led to the emergence of the Baptist lay-leaders and the interactions between the laity and the pastors on the issue of Baptist educational institutions accepting the government subsidy, embodying the formalisation of the church-state practice, will be examined. The rationale behind the Baptist leaders’ willingness to become a partner with the government will be explored, by investigating the patron-client relationship between the colonial government and Baptists and kuan-hsi (network), a prominent feature of the Chinese cultural heritage. The practice of Baptist worship service will be investigated as it is regarded as the principal factor of the formation of spirituality. I will suggest that pietistic individualism focusing on personal religious and spiritual experience contributes to a problematic church-world dichotomy in the minds of Chinese Christians. A review of Chinese theology in the first half of the twentieth century will disclose a solid heritage of pietism among Chinese Christians.

Full text
Abstract:
The wave of gurus in America brought with them cultural transformations particularly in how they interpret Hinduism, how their teachings have adapted in engaging a Western audience, and the sustainability of their religious communities, thus changing the landscape of contemporary Hindu spirituality. The traditional model of the guru and disciple relationship according to Yoga and Vedanta is undergoing a transformation allowing for greater autonomy of the disciple to make decisions in how they appropriate the authority of the guru. This thesis examines the guru and disciple relationship within the institutional organization of the Yoga Research Foundation, founded by the contemporary guru, Swami Jyotirmayananda. Research of Jyotirmayananda’s unique following of Western disciples illuminates the nature of his authority through the establishment of his order and methods by which disciples navigate identity formation and experience religious transmission.

Full text
Abstract:
The criminal Black male stereotype, cemented in early American literature, has been perpetuated in movies, TV shows, and now on mainstream radio. For this study, Billboard song lyrics were analyzed for three main themes—violence, misogyny, and drugs/alcohol. Billboard song rankings are based on digital download sales, radio airplay, and Internet streaming. The researcher found that the songs played on hip hop and rap genre radio stations con-tained lyrics that strongly correlated with the three themes. The researcher also examined whether a relationship existed between artist’s race and lyrics about violence, misogyny, and drugs/alcohol. Black artists comprised 48% of the artists studied; compared to White artists’ lyrics, Black artists’ lyrics contained the majority of instances of each theme. The Federal Communications Commission does not restrict vulgar lyrical content played on hip hop and rap radio stations. In addition, according to studies of media influence on the social perceptions of racial groups and history of the Black male’s role in entertainment, the mainstream radio industry selects Black artists whose lyri-cal themes show a prevalence of violence, misogyny, and drugs/alcohol.

Full text
Abstract:
Australian historical novels and the History Wars (1998-2008). The period of recent Australian cultural history known as the History Wars was of unprecedented significance in reshaping the relationship between the nation and its colonial past. While much of this cultural “backtracking” (Collins and Davis) was due to the groundbreaking and politically efficacious work of revisionist historians, an assessment of the role played by historical fiction during this time of unsettling and “hidden” histories is due.This thesis takes the publically-waged debate over the suitability of novelists to render authoritative versions of significant events or periods as its starting point. From there, however, it delves deeper into the politics of form, analysing the connection between the realist modes of traditional, empiricist histories and the various explorations of the colonial past that have been figured through different historical novels. The forms of these novels range from classic realism to frontier Gothic, various Romanticisms, magical realism, and reflexive post-modernism. In particular, I investigate the relationship between politics and form in Rodney Hall’s Captivity Captive (1988), David Malouf’s Remembering Babylon (1993), Kim Scott’s Benang (1999), Richard Flanagan’s Gould’s Book of Fish (2003), and Kate Grenville’s The Secret River (2005) and The Lieutenant (2008).The relative formal freedoms offered through historical novels offer the chance to confront the past in all of its contradiction and complexity. The terrain of the postmodern and historical sublime — of loss and uncertainly— is one in which historical fiction can perform an important political and ethical role. The immeasurably vast space which lies beyond history, that space of those who are often unrepresented, often victims, often silent, is an abyss into which fiction, particularly historical fiction, is able imaginatively and ethically to descend.

Full text
Abstract:
The study is concerned with the history of black and white women in Australia during the colonial period. Particular emphasis is on the variety of cross-cultural relationships which developed between women during that time. As a starting point, male frontier violence is discussed and compared with the more moderate approach taken by women faced with threatening situations. Among Europeans, women are revealed as being generally less racist than men. This was a significant factor in their ability to forge bonds with black women and occasionally with black men. The way in which contacts with Aborigines were made is explored and the impact of them on the women concerned is assessed, as far as possible from both points of view. Until now, these experiences have been omitted from colonial history, yet I believe they were an important element in racial relations. It will be seen that some of these associations were warm, friendly and satisfying to both sides, and often included a good deal of mutual assistance. Others involved degrees of exploitation. Both are examined in detail, using a variety of sources which include the works of modern Aboriginal writers. This study presents a new aspect of the female experiences which was neglected until the emergence of the feminist historians in the 1960’s. It properly places women, both black and white, within Australian colonial history.

Resumo: Panicum maximun está entre as plantas daninhas mais importantes nas culturas tropicais, justificando plenamente a necessidade de controlá-la, o que é feito basicamente com o emprego de herbicidas. Diante disso, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de subdoses de glyphosate nas trocas gasosas, crescimento e morfologia de P. maximun. O experimento foi realizado em casa-de-vegetação, sendo as plantas cultivadas em vasos, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos experimentais foram constituídos por uma testemunha (sem aplicação do produto) e nove doses (3,78; 8,10; 16,64; 33,48; 67,70; 135,00; 270,00; 540,00 e 1080,00 g e.a. ha-1). Foram avaliados os parâmetros fisiológicos: fotossíntese líquida, condutância estomática, transpiração, temperatura foliar, concentração interna de CO2. Também foram avaliados o número de perfilhos e intoxicação das plantas e, ao final do experimento determinou-se o acúmulo de massa seca da parte aérea e área foliar. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Quando significativos, realizou-se análise de regressão usando os modelos para as curvas de dose-resposta. Os parâmetros fisiológicos avaliados, foram influenciados positivamente pelas subdoses de glyphosate, apresentando maiores valores que a testemunha.

Abstract: Panicum maximum is among most important weed specie in tropical crops, justifying the need to control it, basically with herbicides. Therefore this work aimed to evaluate glyphosate sub dose in the gas exchange, dry mass and morphological in P.maximum. The experiment was conducted in a green house, plants were grown in plots, with a casually randomized design, with four replications. The experimental treatments were constituted with one control ( without application of the product) and nine doses of glyphoste(3.78: 8.1: 16.64: 33.48: 67.7: 135: 270: 540: 1080 g a.e. ha-1 ). It was evaluated: Liquid photosintesys, estomatic conductance, transpiration, leaf temperature, intern CO2 concentration. Besides it was evaluated tillering and intoxication, at the end of the experiment it was determined the aerial dry mass and leaf area. The data obtained was submitted to a variance analysis test and means submitted to a Tukey test at 5 % probability and when significative was used regression using the models for dose response curves. The physiological parameters evaluated where positive influenciated by the glyphosate sub dose showing higher values than the control, furthermore the intern CO2 concentration was negative influenced, beyond it was observed increment in the leaf temperature progressively, also promote an increment for aerial dry mass accumulation and leaf area besides. Further more, concluding that in the Panicum maximun plants submitted to the glyphosate doses of 3,78 to 270 g a.e. ha-1 showed and hormetic effect.

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie les crises et les reconfigurations de la relation d'autorité au sein de l'année française entre 1954 et 1966. La guerre d'Algérie apparaît comme le point d'aboutissement de nombreux écrits théorico-pratiques visant à donner l'initiative aux chefs et à instituer l'obéissance active des soldats. Sur le terrain du commandement, la guerre d'Algérie consacre l'initiative des petits chefs, où chacun peut faire sa règle. Pourtant, la relation d'autorité est minée par des phénomènes de concurrences entre chefs, qui se disputent pour obtenir des honneurs et des résultats. Dans le cadre d'une armée de masse, de nombreuses contre-autorités émergent pour contrer, annuler ou parfois collaborer avec l'autorité hiérarchique. Les soldats, se font critiques et commettent des actes de résistance dans le dos de l'autorité. En prenant appui sur le TPF A de Constantine, nous avons pris soin de compter et d 'historiciser les formes de désobéissance enregistrées, mais aussi de décrire les profils de ceux qui commettent des atteintes à la relation d'autorité. Ces désobéissances sont d'abord fortes, caractérisant l'entrée en guerre entre 1954 et 1957. Pendant le temps fort de la guerre (1957-1961), les désobéissances restent nombreuses, mais les sanctions se concentrent sur les faits les plus graves, si bien qu'elles semblent se tasser. La fin de la guerre (1961-1966), entre le putsch et le départ des forces françaises, est marquée par une véritable crise de la discipline, suivie de nombreuses réformes découlant de la guerre d'Algérie, visant à refonder le lien entre l'armée et les citoyens-soldats
This thesis studies the crises and reconfigurations of authority within the French am1y from 1954 to 1966. The Algerian war appears as the end point of many theoretical and practical writings aiming at endowing chiefs with initiatives and at establishing active submission on the part of soldiers. At the level of leadership, the Algerian war sanctions small chiefs' initiative that allows them to make their own rules. And yet, power relations are undermined by phenomena of competition between chiefs who fight between themselves to obtain honours and results. ln the context of a mass am1y many counter-power emerge to counter, cancel or sometimes collaborate with hierarchical authority. The soldiers become the cri tics of such practices and commit acts of resistance in the back of the hierarchy. By building on the TPF A of Constantine, we meticulously index and historicise the forms of disobedience recorded but we also describe the profiles of those who breached these power relations. These acts of disobedience are strong during the period of the beginning of the war between 1954 and 1957. During the high of the war (1957-1961), the acts of disobedience stay plenty but the sanctions only focus on the most serious cases thus giving the impression that they diminished. The end of the war ( 1961-1966), between the putsch and the departure of the French am1y, is marked by a crisis of discipline that leads to a series of reforms aiming at rebuilding the relations between the army and the citizen­-soldiers

The objective of this research is to analyze Wuthering Heights (1847), written by the English writer Emily Brontë (1818-48), from a postcolonial perspective, based on Said (1994; 2003), Ashcroft et al (2004), Loomba (1998), and Boehmer (2005), among others. It is noticed that there is in the English literature a repetitive model of representation of the colonial relationships mainly until 1847, when Brontë s romance was published which praises the English people and their culture, disqualifying dark skinned people as well as their culture. Those people are, in general, represented from a negative perspective and subjugated by the English imperialism. Brontë romance subverts this kind of representation because the protagonist, a foreign gypsy, Heathcliff, reverts the socio-economical relationships imposed by his oppressors, the Englishmen who surround him and, consequently, subjugates them by an analogical way to his own experience. The novel s subversive characteristic will be highlighted, mainly the fact that the history takes place in England, which gives significance to Heathcliff s actions, since he is well succeed in something that provokes fear to English people: they become victims of dark skinned people in their own territory, England.
O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar O morro dos ventos uivantes (1847), da escritora inglesa Emily Brontë (1818-48), sob a perspectiva póscolonial, tomando como base os estudos de Said (1994; 2003), Ashcroft et al (2004), Loomba (1998), e Boehmer (2005), dentre outros. Percebe-se na literatura inglesa um padrão repetitivo de representação das relações coloniais sobretudo até 1847, ano da publicação da obra em estudo - que enaltece os ingleses e sua cultura, e que desqualifica os povos de pele escura, assim como suas respectivas culturas. Esses povos são, em geral, representados de forma preconceituosa e sob o domínio do imperialismo inglês. O romance de Brontë subverte esse tipo de representação porque o protagonista, um cigano estrangeiro, Heathcliff, consegue reverter as relações socioeconômicas impostas por seus opressores, os ingleses que o cercam, e, consequentemente, subjuga-os de forma análoga à sua própria experiência. Destaca-se, nesta obra, seu caráter subversivo, porque a narrativa passa-se na Inglaterra, o que confere ao feito de Heathcliff um valor significativo, uma vez que ele obtém sucesso em relação a algo que despertava grande temor para os ingleses: serem vítimas das forças de raças escuras em seu próprio território, a Inglaterra.

Abstract:
The central theme of my work is systematic violence on the micro-level of everyday life, our understanding and relation to “evil”, and the conditions behind it. I wish to address the relation between these micro-levels of experience and individual action with larger questions regarding the history of modernity – the power structure and social order of the modern state and its regime of identity and identification, set against the backdrop of a haunting colonial past and post-colonial present-day reality.   I understand film – the moving image – as a medium of sensory experience that appeals in a direct way to the human mind. It enables us to experience well-known or completely strange states of mind and reflect on them, thus creating new awareness of our own position and behaviours, which enable new forms of self-knowledge. Film speaks to all that is ‘unconscious’, and it makes it possible to observe human behaviour in new ways, to understand the driving forces behind individual action and the self. Fiction is for me a way to enter into these realms of reality, to bring to the foreground those aspects that are normally inaccessible, or consciously or unconsciously hidden or repressed in the name of social order or common sense – in order to then return in the form of structural violence.

Abstract:
This thesis examines cross-cultural relationships between Indigenous Okanagan and settler Ukrainian women who lived in Vernon and Head of the Lake areas of British Columbia during the province's colonial and industrial development in the early 1900s. The lived experiences shared by female participants in this project challenge the dominant historical narratives that have traditionally overlooked women's lived experiences. Women's histories are retrieved from the silence and invisibility of omission to fill in gaps in the literature concerning cross-cultural relationships between Okanagan Indigenous and settler Ukrainian women. In conceptualizing the histories of these women this thesis argues that the processes of colonization, largely influenced by male Eurocentric perspectives, have negatively impacted the development and maintenance of female cross-cultural relationships. Using Indigenous methodologies and research approaches that honor and respect Indigenouse perspectives and worldviews, I embarked on individual interviews with two older Okanagan and two older Ukrainian women from Vernon and Head of the Lake areas. Throughout the interviews it became evident that the intersections of race and gender prejudices were deeply embedded within the colonization processes of BC. These affected how Okanagan and Ukrainian women lived their lives individually and in relation to each other. A narrative analysis of the oral histories of Okanagan and Ukrainian women offers a study of the situations of Indigenous and immigrant European women in the early twentieth century in the Northern Okanagan. Through the use of oral interviews, archives, and narrative analysis this thesis explores how colonialism and the dominant culture influenced the significance of and the extent to which female cross-cultural relationships occurred during BC's colonial and industrial development.

Full text
Abstract:
Who was Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn? He was born in Rạch Giá, Việt Nam in 1938; served in the South Vietnamese army—the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN)—during the Second Indochina War; and was publicly executed by the Communist forces on August 14, 1975, after refusing to surrender. Beyond that, it depends whom you ask. To the current Communist government of Việt Nam, whose historical narrative of national unity against foreign invasion denies the legitimacy of South Vietnam, he is a political traitor. To the American state, who conceptualizes the Vietnam War as a struggle between the U.S. and the Communists, he is a forgotten subject. To patriotic South Vietnamese veterans in the diaspora, who push back against these state imposed narratives of “organized forgetting,”[1] he is hero. To Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn’s family members, most of whom live in Việt Nam, he is a loved a one. To me, he is a grand-uncle. But I did not know of his fame—of his story—until I was twenty-one. Researching Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn, I grappled with the following questions: Who has the power to write history? How do stateless peoples archive their own history? What is the relationship between history and cultural memory? How is cultural memory embodied and enacted? How do cultural memory practices both challenge and constitute “official” history and nationalist discourse? What is the nature and use of a politics haunted by ghosts and oriented towards the past? In the first body chapter, I draw from websites created by South Vietnamese veterans—what I call a “subaltern digital archive”—to recreate a biographical sketch of Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn. This sketch is interwoven with a narration of the geopolitical context—the different events that were happening in the Asian Pacific during Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn’s lifetime. I acknowledge that all of history is a construction—a process of editing and making sense of the past—and thus I construct a history that centers, rather than effaces, Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn. The other two body chapters examine the cultural memory production surrounding Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn. One chapter highlights the ways in which South Vietnamese Americans engage in cultural memory practices, carving out a space in the present for the ghost of Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn. In these memory acts, Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn becomes a symbol for the Republic of Vietnam—a way for veterans to resurrect the ghost of this now-defunct state. Although South Vietnamese Americans’ resistance to state imposed narratives is admirable, I acknowledge that not everyone has the privileged to be so vocal. Thus in the next chapter, I highlight the oral histories of Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn’s family members, most of whom live in Việt Nam, and thus are not allowed to publicly commemorate their loved one. These are stories that exist only in the space of memory—that are absent from both official state histories as well as the online timelines created by South Vietnamese American veterans—timelines that focus of Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn’s military valor. Instead, Colonel Hồ Ngọc Cẩn’s relatives offer an alternate version of heroism—a more feminine version of heroism that appreciates Colonel Cẩn’s virtues and domestic contributions as well as his masculine victories.

O presente trabalho propõe-se a estudar as acusações de feitiçaria registradas na região norte de Moçambique (distrito do Niassa), durante o período colonial. Pretendemos entender a relação entre essas acusações e os conflitos sociais, principalmente com as disputas pelo poder dentro da estrutura de parentesco local. O estudo nos possibilitará realizar uma história social dos Ajáuas. Através dos relatos transcritos em depoimentos podemos tentar compreender as lógicas simbólicas de sua linguagem, seu “entendimento de mundo” e também como o discurso de feitiçaria se enquadra nela. Veremos que a feitiçaria dialoga com o discurso de poder. Ela reproduz a hierarquia e as relações de dominação presentes na sociedade e na estrutura de parentesco. As frequentes acusações podem-nos revelar questões muito mais amplas. Estratégias políticas e rivalidades são, na maioria das fontes, as principais motivações das acusações de feitiçaria. Sob este ponto de vista, o discurso de feitiçaria aparece como um instrumento, uma ferramenta através da qual os indivíduos buscam legitimidade para justificar suas ações e crimes cometidos. Podemos verificar que o discurso da feitiçaria atua como um meio pelo qual rivalidades enraizadas em sentimentos de vingança, disputas pelo poder ou aquisição de bens econômicos emergem.
This work aims at studying the witchcraft accusations registered in northern Mozambique (Niassa province) during the colonial period. We intend to understand the correlation between such accusations and the social conflicts, especially the ones related to disputes over power inside the local relationship matrix. This study will make it possible to structure the social history of the Ajáua people. Based on the transcribed reports, we may comprehend the symbolic logic of their language, their “view of the world” and also how the witchcraft discourse is framed in that view. We will see that the witchcraft is related to the discourse of power. It reproduces the hierarchy and the dominance relations present in their society and relationship matrix. The frequent accusations may reveal much broader issues. According to most sources, political strategies and rivalries are the main motivations for witchcraft accusations. From this point of view, the witchcraft discourse is seen as an instrument, a tool whereby individuals seek legitimacy to justify their actions and the crimes they commit. We are able to verify that the witchcraft discourse is the means by which the rivalries emerge, motivated by revenge feelings, disputes over power or the acquisition of economic goods.

Abstract:
As knowledge about the constellating set of environmental and social crises stemming from the neoliberal global food regime becomes more pressing and popularized among US consumers, it has brought Indigenous actors asserting their political sovereignty and treaty rights with regards to their homelands into new collaborations, contestations, and negotiations with settlers in emerging food politics domains. In this dissertation, I examine solidarities and affinities being forged between Coast Salish and settler food actors in Puget Sound, attending specifically to how contested sovereignties are submerged but at play in these relations and how settler desires for belonging on and to stolen Indigenous lands animate liberal and radical food system politics. The dissertation presents my ethnographic fieldwork in South Puget Sound over a period of 18 months with two related Coast Salish food sovereignty projects that brought Indigenous and settler food actors into weedy collaborations. One was a curriculum development project for Native and regional youth focused on the revitalization of Coast Salish plant landscapes, knowledge, pedagogies, and systems of reciprocity. The other was a campaign to counter the introduction of genetically engineered salmon into US food markets and coastal production facilities across the Western Hemisphere, which I situate within longstanding salmon-centered social and political struggles in Coast Salish territories in the context of Indigenous/settler-state relations. Throughout these engagements, I identified how multicultural, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist food movement frameworks share in common with neoliberal nature privatization schemes modes of disavowing the geopolitics of Indigenous sovereignty within the US settler state. The research reveals patterns in how Coast Salish food actors push back against the ways settler food actors are plugged into settler colonial governmentality. These insights, in turn, helped to make legible how inherited liberal mythologies of the nation-state and legal orders rooted in the doctrine of terra nulliuslimit the stakes of food system work in terms of inclusion and equality, and miss their collusion with structures that unmake the human-land relationships that Coast Salish people define as existential and (geo)political. In my analysis, I engage Indigenous critiques of settler colonialism to complicate Marxian, Deleuzian, and Foucauldian analyses of North American alternative food politics, while doubling back to consider the ways the disavowal of ongoing Indigenous dispossession functions across these literatures and the social practices they influence, ultimately to consider how food-centered scholarship, environmentalism, and politics in North America stand to be transformed by what I argue is a Coast Salish ‘politics of refusal’. This project is unique in attending to how settler colonial theory, Indigenous critical theory, and Indigenous politics in North America enrich and complicate the literatures provincializing the Nature-Culture divide, as well as a largely Marxian and antiracist critical food studies literature. It contributes to settler colonial studies as a project of redefinition for the study of US politics and society while specifically bringing that interdisciplinary project into the ambit of North American critical food studies scholarship.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between the first major religious revival in the New England colonies and the change from psalmody to hymnody in the mid-eighteenth century through an approach which integrates the two fields of theology and church music. The termination date is 1770, and the focus is Protestant congregational song in the three groups most influenced by Puritan thought: the Congregationalists, the Presbyterians, and the Baptists.While much has been written separately about the change in eighteenth-century sacred song and the Great Awakening itself, there has been little research that attempts to place the psalmody/hymnody issue within the larger context of the changing theological milieu. This study first examines the theological and ecclesiastical structures which provided the context for Reformed worship, and then explores how fundamental changes in those structures and thought systems impacted congregational song. In order to comprehend the major changes which occurred in the mid-eighteenth century in colonial America, chapters on the Reformed Church and the beginning and spread of psalmody, the New England colonies to 1700, and the beginning of English hymnody are included.Conclusions1. The primary conclusion of this study is that the Great Awakening is the single most important factor in the change from psalmody to hymnody in the New England colonies. It is not a peripheral factor as indicated in much of the research. Rather, it provides both the rationale and the means for the transition in church song. The Great Awakening represented a basic theological change from a theocentric to an anthropocentric viewpoint that subsequently required alterations in sacred song. The revival movement, through its evangelistic spirit, also provided the vehicle by which this change in psalmody was effected.2. The agitation of the 1720s as evidenced in the tracts and treatises did not affect the transition directly. However, it is indicative of the increasing discontent with traditional Calvinist theology.3. The Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts were not a primary reason for the change, but met the needs of the new anthropocentric theology of the Great Awakening that required a new language of praise.

Abstract:
Inscrit dans une approche croisant iconographie, anthropologie et histoire, ce travail porte sur les peintures de castes au Mexique au XVIIIe siècle. Ce genre – unique au sein de l’art colonial et plus largement occidental – narre le métissage entre Espagnols, Amérindiens et Africains en Amérique coloniale. Il s’agira ici d’étudier les représentations sociales et raciales engagées dans les œuvres, de dégager leurs logiques, tout en explorant leurs arrière-plans historiques et anthropologiques. Nous tenterons de démontrer que cette mise en image du métissage se nourrit d’un imaginaire aristocratique européen qui structure un rapport à l’animalité dont la famille consanguine est le parangon, mais également d’un mode de pensée indigène qui conçoit une certaine fluidité entre les ontologies humaine et animale. En même temps, nous mettrons en relief la manière dont ce genre pictural articule la classification spontanée du Nouveau Monde qui se donne libre cours aux prémices de la Colonisation et la classification savante caractéristique du Siècle des Lumières. Nées de l’interpénétration de ces différents cadres civilisationnels, les peintures de castes constituent un objet fondamentalement « métis »
This study explores the paintings of castes in 18th century Mexico, combining iconography, anthropology and history. This type of painting, of a unique kind within colonial and even Western art, tells the story of the interbreeding between Spaniards, American Indians and Africans in colonial Central America. The research focuses on the social and racial representations that appear in the artistic productions and the logic that they reflect. The historical and anthropological background is also examined. We will attempt to show that the graphic presentation of miscegenation feeds on a European aristocratic fantasy that shapes a relationship to the animalistic nature symbolized by consanguineous family, and also on an indigenous pattern of thought that allows some fluidity between human and animal ontology. Moreover, we shall point out the way in which this pictorial genre expresses the spontaneous classification of the New World that flows freely during the premises of the colonization and the scientific classification specific to the Enlightenment. These caste paintings are the produces of two cultural surroundings and form an inherently cross-bred subject

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to underline the importance of developing useful and mutually beneficial relationships between local iwi and museums, and to consider the subsequent implications for museum practice. The thesis assembles a variety of contemporary sources in order to document and construct a chronological narrative of events: minutes and communications; interviews with staff and key participants in the process of acquiring the Partington Collection by the Whanganui Regional Museum; media reports; and a survey of recent literature. The Partington Collection of Whanganui Maori photographs is integral to this examination because of its importance to both Whanganui iwi and the Whanganui Regional Museum. The situation of colonial photography in museums has changed over the century from being viewed as a factual reflection of the cultural imperatives of indigenous peoples, to being viewed as a colonial construct consigning indigenous peoples to their past. Because this Collection is the most comprehensive photographic documentary of Whanganui Maori from the turn of last century it adds immense value to the Museum’s existing collections. However to Whanganui iwi the photographs of their ancestors are taonga tuku iho: far more than just photographic images they are demonstrably and undeniably imbued with the mana of their tupuna. The public auction in 2001 of the Partington Collection created a catalyst for action and an opportunity for Whanganui iwi and the Museum to work together to ensure the return of the photographs to Whanganui, an outcome that was finally achieved in 2002. The thesis concludes that the successful return of the Partington Collection to Whanganui could not have been possible without the long term evolving relationship between iwi and the Museum and in particular the more recent emergence of a bi-cameral governance structure. Furthermore the maintenance of relationships and communication is crucial to the evolution of museum practice. This would suggest a reversal of the traditional perspective that museum practice and procedure is pre-eminent. Instead, this case study demonstrates that relationships are at the heart of museum practice.

Abstract:
The purpose of this ethnographic study was to examine the process of a family therapist entering and then navigating the cultural system of working with substance abusing Seminole tribal clients. The study also utilized two tribal members sharing their opinions about how Seminoles view therapy. As noted in the interview questions and responses, the research presented guidelines for family therapists to follow when working with tribal members. Because there has been no study conducted with family therapists providing clinical services to tribal members, this study introduced tools for clinicians to keep in mind and utilize when working with tribal clients. The interviews illustrated what specific routes therapists may take with tribal clients in order to join and connect. This study provided the field of family therapy an opportunity to become familiar with the Seminole tribe, and guidelines of how to remain mindful when working with this unique population. These results were supplemented by the researcher providing personal reflections on her experiences with tribal clients.

Avant de proposer une typologie des individus qui optèrent pour le protestantisme évangélique dans cet environnement rural, nous avons étudié les voies qu’ils prirent pour y accéder et les raisons de cette acculturation choisie, perçue par la majorité comme une transgression. Nous montrons ensuite les divers degrés d’imbrication entre cette conversion et l’ethos victorien du temps en insistant sur la loyauté envers l’Empire britannique d’une majorité de Canadiens français protestants, posture complexe et polémique dans un contexte colonial. Nous tentons enfin de faire apparaître les zones de rencontres et les interactions interconfessionnelles entre ces individus de confession et de langue différente, territoire peu exploré de l’interculturation au quotidien, dans le but de réévaluer l’idée répandue que le seul mode d’interaction de ces populations ait été conflictuel ou au mieux, coexistentiel
Cross-cultural relationships, complete with conflictual overtones and strategic dealings, have been part and parcel of the fabric of Quebec history. This work sets out to analyse these crosscultural phenomena at work in Catholic and Protestant relationships in South-Western Quebec from the 1830’s to 1920, mainly through the lens of the growing French-Protestant community. Before offering a typology of those who opted for Evangelical Protestantism in this rural context, I have first thoroughly gone through the ways of the process of conversion/acculturation as experienced by those who dared transgress confessional boundaries and the reasons why they chose to do so. I have then argued that this conversion was, to a higher or lesser degree, closely intertwined with the then prevailing Victorian ethos, and overwhelmingly translated into a staunch loyalty towards the British empire, a complex and controversial posture to adopt for any French Canadian in that colonial context. Particular attention was finally paid to the relations between Catholics and Protestants, French and English-speaking, as they lived their lives from day-to-day, in an attempt to appraise the prevailing idea that these relations were perenially conflictual or at best, on a footing of reciprocated indifference

Abstract:
This thesis uses ecofeminist and human-animal studies lenses to explore human animal and nonhuman animal relations in early America. Most ecocritical studies of American literature begin with nineteenth-century writers. This project, however, suggests that drawing on ecofeminist theories with a human-animal studies approach sheds light on eighteenth-century texts as well. Early American naturalist travel writing offers a site replete with human and nonhuman encounters. Specifically, naturalist William Bartram's travel journal features interactions with animals in the southern colonial American frontier. Amateur naturalist Elizabeth House Trist's travel diary includes interactions with frontier and domestic animals. Sarah Trimmer's Fabulous Histories, a conduct manual that taught children acceptable behavior towards animals, provides insight about the social regulation of human and nonhuman relationships during the late eighteenth century, when Bartram and Trist wrote their texts. This thesis identifies and analyzes textual sites that blur the human subject/and animal object distinction and raise questions about the representation of animals as objects. This project focuses on the subtle discursive subversions of early Euroamerican naturalist science present in Bartram's Travels (1791) and the blurring of human/animal boundaries in Trist's Travel Diary (1783-84); Trimmer's Fabulous Histories (1794) further complicates the Euroamerican discourse of animals as curiosities. These texts form part of a larger but overlooked discourse in early British America that anticipated more well-known and nonhuman-centric texts in the burgeoning early nineteenth-century American animal rights movement. ?

Abstract:
Security and race have historically been entangled in the politics of nation-building, whereby national security discourses have constructed the ‘public’ whom it should protect as ‘white’ while demonizing persons of colour as a threat to that public. In the current war against terrorism, these racialized discourses, underwritten by a colonial logic, have materialized through the symbolic and literal displacement of Muslim persons. Under this imperative of national security, both existing and novel legislations have either been suspended, contorted, or implemented to be used against Muslims, or anyone who visibly appears Muslim. Security certificates are one of such judicial tools. This thesis seeks to explore the experiences of securitization, analyzing how this legislation strips the subjects of the security certificate program of their legal rights and social connectedness. To explore this, I interviewed three of the five men from the ‘Secret Trial Five’ cases and some of their family members. I investigate how securitization manifests in the lives of those who have been securitized, exploring the practices that are used to maintain and reinforce the othering and the displacement of Muslim populations.

Abstract:
Humanity is living through a time of major ecological crisis exemplified by anthropogenic climate change and planetary-wide ecological system collapse. This is a driver for widespread and intersecting humanitarian and social crises including resource wars, famine, mass migration, and displacement. These entwined ecological and social crises are underpinned by global colonial capitalism that fuels systems of violent and inequitable extraction of wealth and resources from lands, people, and creatures. Indigenous and settler scholars acknowledge that addressing and dismantling colonialism is essential to effective action on the impacts and drivers of climate change, and other ecological and social crises, and the development of sustainable societies for the future. The research proposes that for settler individuals and communities to take action against ecological and social violence, they must develop ways of being, doing, and knowing that attend to the issues of colonialism and extractivism. For settler-colonists, engaging with and through place is particularly important due to the centrality of land and the subsequent ongoing role of colonialism in severing, masking, ignoring, and denying the relationship between land and people’s embodied identities and lived experiences. Tender places uses creative and pedagogical practices to examine the moral responsibilities of settler people in the time of ecological and social crisis. The research seeks to develop tools, processes that support anti-racist and anti-colonial creative practice that respond to ecological crises. The development of these tools and process has occurred through iterative engagement with a constellation of feminist, anti-colonial, Indigenous and queer scholarship including the work of Deborah Bird Rose, Max Liboiron, Claire Land, Ambelin Kwaymullina, Eve Tuck and Wayne Yang. The practices and ethics of engagement with anti-colonial and Indigenous literature are outlined within the exegesis. This doctoral research is undertaken as creative practice led research, with a 50/50 split between the creative product and the exegesis. I recommend viewing the work after reading the exegesis. As the creative works were created in three iterations, presented in multiple locations, and include an ephemeral durational installation, I’ve produced a website to create a permanent record of the work for assessment and documentation purposes. You can view the creative work here: https://tenderplaces.net/. The creative practice was undertaken at the Ilparpa Claypans, a series of 12 ephemeral claypans, located on ‘crown land’, 13 km southwest of the township of Mparntwe/ Alice Springs, in the Northern Territory, Australia. The popular recreational site was chosen due to my decade-long relationship with this place, and my distress over the impacts of dumping, four-wheel driving, and invasive weeds witnessed over this time. I undertook this research through the lens of Australian settler culture, as a queer, female, fourth generation Northern Territory settler of Irish, Scottish, and German descent. I bring my lived experience as an artist and activist to this inquiry. Through the research, I developed a practice of reading, walking, and making at the Ilparpa Claypans, as a method by which to investigate the use of critical race and environmental humanities literature as an agent of defamiliarisation, with the aim to disrupt the settler gaze within place. I documented new ways of seeing and being with/in place, which emerged from this disruption through field notes, photos, and creative works. These creative translations informed the development of three artworks reflecting on the impacts and responsibilities of settler people and cultures to the Ilparpa Claypans. Postcards from the Claypans was the first iteration of creative practice at the Ilparpa Claypans, which took place from May to June in 2019. In this iteration, individual walks were documented on individual postcards and mailed to individual peers in different parts of the world. The second work, Shadow Work is an autoethnographic map of settler experience and the impact on the Ilparpa Claypans was developed in January, 2019. This map is comprised of twelve cyanotypes created from dumped refuse and weeds found at the claypans. The third work, Testing Ground, was an 18-day durational performance installation, which positions the researcher’s body in service to place through daily visits to the Ilparpa Claypans to remove buffel grass (an invasive weed) and dumped items. These recovered items were used to create an installation that made visible the impacts of the ecological harms on the Ilparpa Claypans, alongside a soundscape created from field recordings and a public process journal of the 18-day practice. The exegesis locates the research inquiry theoretically and methodologically, and articulates the process, findings, and impacts. The autoethnographic component of the exegesis draws on the creative works, reflective writing, field notes, and formal research documents, to examine the development and use of arts and place methodologies and methods as a research process. Creative and reflective writing are used throughout the exegesis as a mode by which to locate the reader with my lived experience of place and process throughout the research lifespan. This exegesis, Tender Places, identifies and contributes processes for settler people to reflect on their complicity individually and collectively in ongoing colonial and extractivist drivers of entangled ecological and social violence. The methods and methodologies utilised in this project can aid the development frameworks of moral responsibility for the action that addresses these violences in order to restore social and ecological justice.

The relationship between government and merchants is a hot-studied topic in political science. From ancient till now, political behavior of human and economic action is closely related, the former is dominant need and cooperate, and the latter is substantial material foundation. The interrelationship between political behavior and economic action is called “relationship between government and merchants”. Historical theories, colonial theories and political economy theories are main approaches used in this study. The integration between politics and economics will be used to study how the precocity colonial empire introduced interrelations between government and enterprises under colonial system, and its influence. Goto Shimpei(後藤新平)as imperial government representer, Hoshi Hajimei(星一)as civil entrepreneur, are both actors pushing Japanese colonial imperial system forward. They are self-benefited, based on their interrelation; their political and economical actions were maximizing their resources. Hoshi hajimei and Hoshi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd’s archive located in Hoshi University, Japanese congress library, National Taiwan University will be used analyzed by normative means such as literature analytic method, case studies method and comparative studies method. Such development and transformation of corporation can be observed how its owner used relationship between government and governor-general, operation organization and interpersonal context of corporation can be help in productions and operations of opium, forestation of Cinchonalederiana, and commercialization of such chemicals. Finally, it will discuss the rise of a pharmaceutical corporation, relationship between Japanese government and merchants, and its role on modern Japan’s external expansion.

This dissertation is aimed at exploring, during Japanese colonial period, the process of modernization of Taiwan’s ceramic in which Taiwan’s ceramic eventually obtained the opportunity to connect to Western ceramic civilization through the intermediary of Japan’s ceramic. In this dissertation, the pottery of Nantou and Tokoname are chosen as the two fields to present the interrelationship of their development by which the connection to Western source of ceramic is to be traced. Based on the fact that the modernization of Nantou ware was related closely to the colonial ruling policies, the post-colonial theory is adopted as the research approach to interpret how the colonizer use her power to push forward the modernization of Nantou pottery with a view to economic results. By reviewing the documents and writings that are concerned with the development of Nantou ware, the author finds that former scholars have constructed the main structure of the progression of Nantou ware; however, some of the contents are nonspecific, omitted, and even erroneous. Therefore, fresh materials and evidences are to be unearthed for supplement and revision. Due to lack of documents, the oral history is chosen as one of the main research method for the dissertation. For years, the author has devoted himself to the field study and has obtained plenty of oral materials, old photos, objects and documents which can be used as the basis for constructing the history that has been rarely known to the world. It cannot be denied that oral materials might prove problematic and be often criticized for their reliability and validity. In order to supply the insufficiency and to correct the defects of oral materials, collecting the official and unofficial documents available is definitely necessary. After having been carefully decoded, organized, analyzed and cross-compared, these materials are used to ascertain the life stories of the three pottery masters concerned, the events which took place during that period, and the attribution of the ceramic works involved. The period of time covered in this dissertation span from 1796, the beginning of Nantou ware, to 2005, the year when Liu An-zhang passed away; the places covered include Nantou and Tokoname; the ceramic masters concerned are Kameoka Yasutarō, Liu Shu-zhi and Liu An-zhang. By these contexts, the history and relationship of the pottery development of the two places can be probed. This dissertation is divided into six chapters: the first chapter is the introduction, the sixth chapter is the conclusion, and the other four chapters are about the works of ceramic, masters concerned, the pottery history of Tokoname and Nantou and their interrelationship, and discussion about the different results attributed to Japan’s different policies for Nantou (colonial) and Tokoname (domestic) as well as the social and cultural significances that modernization has brought. In this dissertation, the gaps in the history of Nantou ware since Qing dynasty are bridged and made clear. The attribution of the works of Nantou ware is identified. By means of clarification of the life stories of the three masters and the development of the potteries, the modernization of Nantou ware is divided into three stages to expound its ceramic ideas, techniques and products. For the intermediary role of Japan’s ceramic in Taiwan’s ceramic history is proved, it is certain that Taiwan’s ceramic has connected up to European ceramic civilization during Japanese colonial period and its position in the world ceramic contexts can be located. During the research process, the author has found that there exists something discordant between the contents of the documents and the historical truth; therefore, the author proposes a different view from the colonizer’s because their documents are not always reliable. It is suggested that when we face documents, we should take a more serious attitude to deal with them and seek more and fresh materials as proofs. Only in this way, can we find the facts that may make a closest approach to the historical truth.

Abstract:
As one of the most prominent Taiwanese film director, Wei Te-sheng’s films have been the focus of attention from publicity and film prize committees. Most of his film works focus on Japan-Taiwan theme. Based on auteur theory, this thesis examines the colonial and postcolonial relationship between Japanese and Taiwanese by analyzing the Taiwanese film director Wei Te-sheng’s three films, Cape No.7 (2008), Seediq Bale (2011), and Kano (2014). From the historical view in terms of the colonial relationship between Taiwan and Japan, this thesis reveals the Taiwanese’s ambivalence toward its ex-colonizer and explores the reasons behind the particular and complex relationship between Taiwanese and Japanese colonists. Since decentralization is the most noticeable manifestation of such colonial and postcolonial relationship, this thesis also probes into the reason why decentralization evokes nostalgic feelings among Taiwanese. This thesis interprets Wei’s film based on auteur theory. Auteur’s imprint is to be found both in style and basic motifs in Wei’s films as following three distinguished features: non-linear narrative, voiceover, and the use of allusion. There contain two aspects of the colonial relationship reflected on Wei Te-sheng’s films, the oppressor and the oppressed, and the emotional bond. Explanations of paradoxical pro-Japan attitude are manifested in the following two aspects: ineffectiveness of the KMT government, and contribution of Japanese colonial government, including improvement of infrastructure, promotion of economics growth, and colonial education. Three major films directed by Wei have all set in the rural areas. The praise for the energy and enthusiasm of rural dwellers is indicative of the shift in focus from urban to rural areas. Cape No.7 and Kano, reveal that Taiwanese hold a deep emotional appeal for building warm and harmonious communities in a society constantly shaped by industrialization and urbanization. Cape No.7 and Kano have brought a familial sense of community back to the audience. On the island’s mad rush toward modernization, these two films presented what was lost and sacrificed during this process: harmony with nature, a sense of community, time-honored cultural traditions and local cultures and ways of life. The popularity of the two films reflects the audience’s romantic imagination toward the irretrievable rural life, and reveals that they were nostalgic for the close-knit, intimate, direct interpersonal relationships in rural areas. The atomization of existence is associated with the current situation of cities, where each individual human beings is increasingly isolated. Under such circumstances, two films featuring a sense of community evoked a historical retrospection of the urbanization. The seemingly conservative rural areas preserve the precious complex that people aspire to retain, though it might be spotlighted through a reminiscing filter, the close-knit community with intimate, direct and simple interpersonal relationships.

The essay, based on the background of Japanese Colonial Period, by using post-colonialism and historical methods, as well as applying the theory of tourism, will discuss the interrelation between political power, tourism, and locality. It also discusses the particularity of the colonial tourism during the Japanese Colonial Period. The essay takes Taichung as an illustration to further realize what had tourism affected Taichung in culture transition, the growth of travel spots, identity of local residents, and the local economy. And it will sum up with three conclusions. First of all, by tourism, culture itself could be organic, and even innovative. Under the rule of Taiwan Governor, Taiwan had changed from a colony which simply aimed to motherland’s interest to a charming island that can form an environment to travel. This also contributed to form the growth of local travel after WWII. Secondary, under the political power of the authority, Taichung city was re-constructed, and travel spots were then created. With great investment and advertisement been put in, Taiwan Governor has schemed out some travel routes and the local particularity was then made. Besides, by electing Taiwan’s eight great views and found of National park, the political power of the authority had worked enormously and lied huge affects on Taiwan travel spots. Third of all, by tourism, as well as the process of “seeing” and ‘”showing”, identity of local residents was provoked, and on the very process of sightseeing, the tourist had a chance to comprehend himself by realizing the others, on the other hand, “the others”, the local residents, by being watched or “sightseen”, also had a chance to obtain a unique characteristic that only belong to themselves. The development of tourism during the Japanese colonial period had offered people a chance to re-know native soil and grow the first step of place identity.
