Full textAbstract:
Sur les territoires colonisés par la France paraissent des journaux locaux qui suivent le développement national de la presse : entre 1830 et 1880, l’époque est médiatique et le journal est un support important des publications littéraires. Dans les colonies, les périodiques contiennent ainsi des textes adaptés à leurs territoires respectifs, mais publiés toujours selon la même structure, ce qui permet une comparaison entre les différentes stratégies conduisant à l’élaboration d’identités coloniales. Ces textes, par leur diversité et leurs évolutions, représentent une sorte de chaînon manquant entre la littérature des récits de voyage et la littérature coloniale qui se définit au tournant du XXe siècle : interrogés et étudiés sous cet angle, ils prennent valeur de corpus signifiant. Ils montrent en effet le rôle identitaire de cette littérature médiatique adaptée aux colonies : en adaptant l’exotisme aux conditions coloniale, en faisant varier le critère d’altérité et par bien d’autres moyens encore, la presse locale fonde en partie une attitude coloniale qui se retrouve, mutatis mutandis, dans l’empire colonial français. C’est également la raison pour laquelle le corpus médiatique colonial du XIXe siècle se trouve être au centre de connexions avec les textes de la littérature coloniale ainsi qu’avec les problématiques de l’écriture postcoloniale : lieu de publication, de nouveauté, de tentatives identitaires et d’essais génériques, le journal colonial a produit entre 1830 et 1880 des mécanismes d’écriture appelés à se développer par la suiteLocal newspapers were published in French colonial areas following the same evolution as the national newspapers: between 1830 and 1880, media-rich times, the press represents a significant publishing-platform for literary texts. Colonial newspapers contain texts adjusted to their respective geographic areas, but keep the same structure regardless, thereby allowing the comparison between the strategies leading to the building of colonial identities. The diversity and the different evolution pathways of these texts may then be considered as the missing link between the travel narratives and the early-20th century defined colonial literature. As such, they can undoubtedly be considered as a significant corpus of colonial times. These texts reflect the identity role this colonial-area adjusted media literature had: by adapting exoticism to the colonial conditions, by varying the criterion of alterity and by many other ways, local press founds, partially, a colonial attitude that can further be found, mutatis mutandis, in the French colonial empire. This is also the reason the 19th-century colonial-media corpus is at the crossroads of both colonial literature and postcolonial writing problematics: as a place for publication, novelty, identity essays, and literary genre essays, the colonial newspaper witnessed the creation, between 1830 and 1880, of writing mechanisms that would eventually develop later on

Ruhlig, Vanessa Jane. "Colonial architecture as heritage: German colonial architecture in post-colonial Windhoek." Thesis, University of Cape Town, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/30196.
Full textAbstract:
The rapid post-Independence development of the city of Windhoek, Namibia; and the ensuing destruction of a substantial number of German colonial buildings in the capital city, prompted speculation as to why these buildings are inadequately protected as heritage – and whether they are, in fact, considered to be heritage.
The study explores the issues pertaining to the presence of German colonial architecture, as artefacts of the German colonial period, within the postcolonial context of Windhoek. The trauma and pain of the Namibian War and genocide (1904 – 1908) are recurring themes in the body of literature on postcolonial Namibia; and this informs a wider discourse on memory. Memory is found to play a crucial role in evoking a sense of both individual and shared ownership, through its capacity to create meaning, which can in turn ascribe value to a place. Memory is also dependent on visual cues for its continued existence, which suggests the importance of colonial architecture as a material prompt to sustain memory. The research therefore investigates the memories and multiple meanings attributable to colonial architecture in this plural society, and how these meanings can be created, or possibly reinvented, through the continued use of these buildings.
The study is based on an assessment of three halls in Windhoek – the Grüner Kranz Hall (1906), the Kaiserkrone Hall (1909), and the Turnhalle (1909; 1912), all designed by the German architect Otto Busch – which illustrates in part, the need for the development of historical building surveys that assess the social values and significances of these contested spaces; and moreover, the potential that these spaces have to support memory work through their continued use.

Full textAbstract:
Just prior to his untimely death in 1961 in a hospital in the United States of America, Franz Fanon taught a series of lectures at the University of Tunis. His lecture notes include a section titled “Le contrôl et la surveillance”, in which he makes “social diagnoses, on the embodied effects and outcomes of surveillance practices on different categories of laborers when attempts are made by way of workforce supervision to reduce their labor to an automation: factory assembly line workers subjected to time-management by punch clocks and time sheets, the eavesdropping done by telephone switchboard supervisors as they secretly listened in on calls”, and other forms of management by surveillance (Browne 2015: 5-6). Here, Fanon produces an original account of control as an alienating and dehumanizing force of social production. Importantly for Fanon, technologies of control also generate and reinforce subjective experiences of racialization as an aspect of dehumanization in capitalist modernity. Yet, despite Fanon’s close intellectual friendship with Sartre and his involvement with Parisian philosophical circles during the postwar period, the emerging generation of French poststructuralist thinkers who became Sartre’s heirs do not seem to have regarded Fanon’s work on control as influential upon their groundbreaking theorizations of contemporary power and social production. As Simone Browne notes (2015: 165), Foucault does not reference Fanon in his early lectures on discipline and affective embodiment in “Madness and Civilization”, delivered during his own residency from 1966-68 at the University of Tunis; nor does he cite Fanon’s work in his later lecture series on biopolitics and security delivered at the Collège de France from 1977 to 1979. Similarly, although Fanon’s critical approach to psychoanalysis is mentioned in passing by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (1983), Fanon is not cited by Deleuze (1988) as a precursor to his subsequent thinking about Foucault’s account of “disciplinary society” as a paradigm of modernity. Deleuze’s “Postscript on the Societies of Control”, which Gregory Flaxman (2019) argues should be read as an afterword to Deleuze’s earlier book on Foucault, again fails to consider Fanon a relevant source of knowledge regarding the nature of those power formations Deleuze believes are characteristic of a more contemporary shift towards “societies of control” (Deleuze 1992).

Caraballo, López Tatiana. "The ecology of colonial phytoplankton = Ecología del fitoplancton colonial." Doctoral thesis, Universitat de Barcelona, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/129683.
Full textAbstract:
Phytoplankton embraces a large diversity of life forms, from pioneer oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobacteria to a broad spectrum of phylogenetically distant eukaryotic organisms. In many of the evolutionary branches, colonial organisms have appeared. The evolutionary reasons for the transition to larger sizes are not yet fully understood, but multicellularity is thought to be one of its consequences. Phytoplankton ecological success or failure, under certain conditions is the result of a balance between gains and losses. Unicellular and colonial organisms have to adapt their respective functional traits related to photosynthesis, resource acquisition, and predation, to changes in the environment. The advantages of a certain life-form (unicellular or colonial), could, hence, rely in the relevance of gain processes (light, nutrient related traits), or of losses as main drivers of phytoplankton evolution.
Despite coloniality could suppose an opportunity in finding new paths to succeed, previous knowledge pointed to larger phytoplankton cells as worse competitors for nutrients than smaller cells and hence, as the size of the colonies may start to become a constraint for nutrient uptake and utilization. However, other issues changing with size can become advantageous for colonial phytoplankton. For example, large flagellate colonies can move and hence cover a greater space of resources likely to be exploited than small unicellulars, and also can have a larger storage capacity. Large cells (and colonies in particular) can take more advantage of the production of external enzymes since colonial forms, specially mucilaginous ones, could maintain exoenzymes close to the cells in this external matrix. In summary, any strategy by which there is not a proportional increase in the need for nutrients as body size enlarges can be regarded as a competitive advantage for colonial organisms. Besides, a possible advantage for large unicellulars and colonies could be related to the top-down control of the systems by grazers, as smaller unicellulars are subject of grazing by both, small and large filter feeders, whereas large colonies can override the edible size spectrum of some. Also the aggregation of cells to form large colonies harder to gulp or filter by zooplankton is considered a relative widespread defense strategy. The ubiquitousness of colonial forms of phytoplankton and its endurance until today is the basis for believing that there has been a significant selection for it in the ancient unicellular world. Yet it is difficult to guess what the main drivers for coloniality have been,
Can we find out the selective forces favoring multicellular colonial forms in phytoplankton?
Understanding the ecological advantage that colonial forms could hold in phytoplankton was the main objective of this thesis.Los orígenes de los organismos que componen la comunidad fitoplanctónica se remontan a distintos eventos endosimbióticos; por ello, una de las principales características del fitoplancton es una enorme diversidad que atañe tanto en sus atributos morfológicos y fisiológicos como en sus formas de vida. A pesar de que la multicelularidad en algunas especies de fitoplancton podría suponer una estrategia para asegurar la conservación de la línea germinal, o para generar un medio interno estable que proteja a las células que forman la colonia del cambiante ambiente que la rodea, actualmente se desconoce el motivo que pudo haber favorecido la transición desde la unicelularidad a la colonialidad. Sin embargo, la existencia de organismos coloniales evolutivamente más avanzados en los que se observa una diferenciación celular y división de tareas, podrían empezar a definir una estrategia de vida compleja y jerarquizada más allá de la simple agregación celular. La gran variedad de formas, tamaños y configuraciones presentadas por las células y colonias, es una muestra de que no hay una estructura óptima, sino un gran abanico de posibilidades exitosas para afrontar los obstáculos a los que estos organismos se enfrentan durante su ciclo de vida. Por otro lado, el paso de una forma de vida unicelular a una colonial en los organismos fitoplanctónicos, implica un número de condicionantes ecológicos que determinan cuándo y cómo las formas coloniales pueden ser más viables. En cualquier caso, el hecho de que las formas unicelulares y coloniales sean ubicuas en el fitoplancton y hayan perdurado durante millones de años, nos da a entender que deben existir ciertas ventajas ecológicas conferidas por la colonialidad. Este trabajo se centra en investigar en qué modo los organismos coloniales han llegado a compensado las desventajas derivadas de la agregación para haberse convertido en una alternativa evolutivamente exitosa a la unicelularidad.

Full textAbstract:
Théorisée en 1910 par le général Charles Mangin dans le cadre du projet de recrutement d’une « force noire » en Afrique occidentale, la catégorie de « race guerrière » est utilisée en France, entre les années 1850 et la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale, pour désigner certaines populations de l’empire colonial français qui possèderaient des aptitudes particulières à la guerre et au métier militaire. Cette thèse retrace l’émergence, dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, de cette catégorie originale de l’ethnographie militaire. Elle interroge ses éventuelles applications, ses circulations à une échelle impériale et transimpériale, ainsi que le rôle joué par les populations désignées comme « races guerrières » dans la construction de la catégorie. Les archives militaires, celles du général Mangin, les écrits des officiers et des soldats français servant dans l’empire, et un corpus de sources savantes permettent d’étudier les différentes composantes de la catégorie de « race guerrière » et la manière dont elle se construit en lien et en opposition avec la catégorie des « races non guerrières ». Présentée par les officiers coloniaux et l’institution militaire comme un outil du recrutement, la catégorie de « races guerrières », éminemment labile, n’a en réalité jamais constitué un guide précis de sélection des recrues. Elle donne en revanche naissance à la figure ambiguë du soldat indigène, à la fois menaçante et rassurante. Enfin, l’expérience de la Première Guerre mondiale, qui constitue la première mise à l’épreuve sur le sol européen, de la catégorie de « race guerrière », lui apporte à la fois une confirmation et un démentiTheorized in 1910 by general Charles Mangin, who advocated the recruitment of a Force noire in French West Africa, the races guerrières category was used in France, between the 1850s and the end of the First World War, to designate colonized groups deemed especially warlike and prone to military service. This dissertation traces the emergence of this unique military and ethnographic category, during the second part of the XIXth century. It studies the ways in which it was put into practice, its imperial and transimperial circulations, as well as the role played by the races guerrières themselves in the construction of the category. Military archives, among which Mangin’s files, colonial officers and soldiers’ writings, and a selection of scientific sources offer insights into the internal definition of races guerrières, and its connection with races non guerrières. Although colonial officers and the military presented it as a recruitment tool, the races guerrières category was very unstable and was never used as a precise guide to select indigenous recruits. However, it gave birth to the ambiguous figure of the native soldier, both reassuring and threatening. The experience of the First World War, during which the category was first put to the test on European ground, offered both a confirmation and a refutation

Este trabalho reconstrói a história do debate entre três linhas interpretativas sobre o tema. Em primeiro momento se discutem as interpretações clássicas sobre o período colonial, em que se destacam as contribuições dos autores do ¿sentido da colonização¿ ¿ entre eles Caio Prado Jr., Fernando Novais e Celso Furtado ¿ e da linha interpretativa do modo de produção colonial ¿ com realce às idéias de Jacob Gorender e Ciro Cardoso. Em momento posterior, busca-se explicitar as principais características do que denominamos debate contemporâneo, com destaque para as contribuições de Manolo Florentino e João Fragoso. O trabalho pretende uma avaliação crítica a respeito dessas linhas interpretativas
Abstract: There are many interpretations about the process of establishment and development of the portuguese colony's economy in South America. This issue summarizes the history of the debate between three interpretatives lineages over the theme. First, the classical interpretations about the colonial period are discussed, mainly the contribuitions from the ¿sentido da colonização¿ authors ¿ Caio Prado Jr., Fernando Novais and Celso Furtado ¿ and from the interpretative lineage called ¿ colonial mode of production¿ ¿ mainly Jacob Gorender and Ciro Cardoso. Afterwards, we seek to expose the major characteristics of the contemporaneous debate, in which Manolo Florentino's and João Fragoso's contributions gain evidence. This issue intends to provide a critical evaluation over those interpretative lineages

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the connection between colonial governance and art education in colonial Punjab after its annexation by the British in 1849. It argues that art education at the Mayo School of Art was part of large project for creating a disciplinary society. It draws largely on archival and printed primary sources for tracing the career of disciplinary technologies of art schools, museums, exhibitions as well as regulatory discourses of colonial anthropology and the folklore, that together constitute colonial sphere of art education. The archives entered the present study both as the source of information as well as the technology of the colonial rule. The disciplinary discourses of the colonial state formed the primary archive for the colonial construction and ranking of indigenous population on the evolutionary scale of "primitive" through the techniques of census and surveys. The ethnological, psychological and intellectual profile of "tribal" population of Punjab along the scale of evolutionary history provided a grid to structure empirical knowledge for vast scale social engineering of indigenous society, including the organization of a system of colonial education for "pre-literate" and "oral" society. The study specifically contends that boundaries between "oral" and "literate" were the folklorist prisms through which the practices of communities and institutions of "art" and "craft", the distinctions between, "primitive" and "modem", "artists" and "craftsmen", "traditional" and "creative", "anonymous" and "individuals", "literature" and "myth", "history" and "legend", and "knowledge" and "folklore" were articulated. The historical contingencies of naturalization of these binary oppositions will be read in the ethnographic project of the colonial state and art educational discourses in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century Punjab that transformed individuals and social groups into subjects of a particular kind of power through the techniques of discipline and regulation. The institutional career of the Mayo School of Art (from 1875 to 1920s) as a technical as well as an educational institution is located at the intersection of discourses on utility and aesthetics. Through the writings of key exponents of the British craft advocates in India and the administrative discourses of the colonial state in Punjab that had brought the study of "decorative arts" to the forefront of the imperial concerns as well as art pedagogy, the dissertation analyzes the implications of the art school instruction on the production of modern artists and craftsmen and the construction of "customary" sphere and "traditional" Punjabi art and craft.

All cultural production is a consequence of its context and is infused with meaning and identity. A preoccupation with the visual and symbolic aspects of architectural form and its cultural meaning has led to an increased autonomy of the architectural object. This thesis posits that architectural forms do not have fixed, unchanging and singular meanings, but that they acquire meaning in particular contexts- historical, social, cultural and political. Certain forms or stylistic motifs, acquire, embody or are perceived to represent the identity of a nation or cultural groups within a nation. The confluence of a search for 'Indianness' and the post-modern thought in architecture is a paradoxical aspect of the recognition of the autonomy of architecture. In the contemporary India, the search for a 'Tamil' identity, may be perceived as an attempt to create a distinct, regional identity as opposed to the homogenous and universal national identity. This is similar to the creation of a 'British-Indian' identity as opposed to the western one, by the British, in the last quarter of the 19th century. In this attempt to create a regional identity, the same or similar regional architectural forms and stylistic motifs were the source and precedent to represent both 'Tamil' and 'British-Indian' identity. This would imply that the forms do not have a singular meaning but that they are embodied with meaning and symbolism in particular contexts. This is exemplified by a trans-historical comparison between two colonial and contemporary buildings in Madras, South India. The Post and Telegraph Office, 1875-84 (Architect: Robert Chisholm) and the Law Court, 1889-92 (Architect: Henry Irwin) represent the two trends within 'Indo-Saracenic' architecture. The former draws precedents primarily from local, regional and classical Hindu temple architectural traditions while the latter from the 'Indo-Islamic' Mughal architectural tradition. The Valluvar Kottam Cultural Center, 1976-8 (Architect: P. K. Acharya) and the Kalakshetra Cultural Center, 1980-2 (Architects: Mis. C. R. Narayanarao & Sons) represent the search for an indigenous 'Tamil' architecture. The sources for the former are primarily from the Dravidian style classical Hindu temple architecture of the region while the latter is inspired by the local and regional traditions. Paradoxically, the same or similar forms manifest opposing ideals, and represent colonial and post-colonial identities, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the colonialist discourse in Japanese linguistics in the period from 1868 to 1945, the time when Japan changed from a semi-feudal isolated country to a modernized nation and a colonizer. To address the complexity caused by such rapid development, and namely, to show how modernization and colonialism shaped Japanese language studies during this period, I present my analysis in two parts: the first part explores multiple facets of Japanese language education in the colonial period, both on Japanese territory and in Japanese colonies, particularly on the Korean Peninsula; the second part is a study of language manuals for Japanese soldiers. Although I examine some multilingual manuals, my main focus is on Korean language manuals because their number far exceeds that of other languages and also because Korea is my primary research area.
My claim is that a careful examination of language manuals as well as of Japanese language education both in Japan and its colonies reveals one of the characteristic features of Japanese colonial linguistics: a situation when a standard-in-the-making was simultaneously being exported to colonial sites with variable success rates. Before the Japanese language went abroad, and more importantly, after its export, the struggle over what kind of Japanese language to teach continued to be a matter of controversy and was never settled until the U.S. occupied Japan and implemented educational reforms. But superimposed on all the debates was always the conflicting concept of kokugo (national language), which was so over-politicized that it precluded the possibility of any academic reforms or structural refinements in tandem with its political expansion overseas. As my study shows, one of the reasons for this complexity was that not only nationalism but also pan-Asianist discourse played a significant role in the Japanese colonial enterprise in East Asia. The language manuals for Japanese soldiers that I examine were published between 1882 and 1935. As the publication years grow more recent, we can see, in the prefaces and the contents, shifts in the forms of nationalism and pan-Asianist rhetoric occurring simultaneously with the rise of colonialist discourse.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary scholars of imperialism and colonialism studies have revealed how different imperial spaces were malleable, and they constantly shift through negotiations between diverse agencies. Whereas most existing studies investigate change of imperial space from the view of metropolitan centre, this thesis attempts to decentralise the dominant view of existing Japanese imperialism studies, and explores the Japanese imperial expansion with a particular focus on peoples subjectivities and agencies on the national border zone. The thesis particularly focuses on the border/boundary between the Yaeyama Archipelago of the Ryukyu Islands and colonial Taiwan.
The first chapter explores the boundary between Yaeyama and Taiwan in representation and discourse after Yaeyama was annexed to Japan. I discuss how Yaeyama came to appear as a historical subject in the Japanese colonial discourse, by distinguishing itself from the colonised subject as well as criticising the dominance of the main island of Okinawa. In critically examining the previous Yaeyama Studies, I suggest reconstructing Yaeyamas history in the East Asian regional framework. The second chapter explores how civilians actively committed themselves to defining the national territory during the late nineteenth century. The chapter also aims to reconsider the dominant discourse of Okinawas modern history, which tends to focus on conflicts between the Japanese government and the former samurai class of Okinawa prefecture.
Chapters 3 further discusses how people on the border zone constructed the boundary between Japan and Taiwan, but I argue that the border between Yaeyama and Taiwan did not only demarcate the metropolitan nation and the colony, but also demarcated the rural and the urban areas. In other words, the third chapter considers how the national border had different implications to people on the border zone. I explore how new settlers dominated the newly emerging economy of Yaeyama and developed trade links with colonial Taiwan. Furthermore, I discuss how while Yaeyama native farmers were marginalised from the local economy and industry, they also crossed the border in a form of rural-urban migration.
Chapters 5 and 6 examine Yaeyama migrants experiences in Taiwan. Firstly, I explore in what social and cultural conditions Yaeyama migrants lived and worked during the 1920s to the 1940s. I argue that the distinction between Japanese and Taiwanese was not instantly determined by the colonial authority, but continuously constructed and negotiated by social agents. In Chapter 6, I examine how Yaeyama migrants shaped their Japanese identity by distinguishing themselves from the colonised subjects.
The southern border between the Inner Territory and the Outer Territories were constituted through the interaction between ensembles of practices in the local place and the wider imperial networks and space. Yaeyama peoples experiences of constructing and crossing the boundary effectively demonstrates how the determination of the Japanese national border was incorporated into colonialism, and how Japanese colonialism was associated with the emergence of modernity in East Asia. With a particular focus on the border islands of Yaeyama, this thesis presents an alternative view to Japanese colonial history, East Asian social history as well as Okinawas modern history.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail propose une histoire de l’armée en Mauritanie, depuis la conquête militaire française dans l’Ouest saharien jusqu’à l’avènement du coup d’État du 10 juillet 1978, ouvrant sur une longue période du gouvernement de l’État mauritanien par des officiers supérieurs. L’armée coloniale, tout comme l’État colonial, a ses caractéristiques propres : elle développe, au contact du terrain, des stratégies d’adaptation, tant au plan de l’organisation qu’au plan des missions. Ses deux traits saillants sont le double recrutement – qui différencie tirailleurs subsahariens et supplétifs maures – et la multiplicité des missions – politiques, militaires, de défense et de maintien de l’ordre. Ces spécificités sont en parties léguées aux forces armées nationales à travers la transmission du domaine et du pouvoir militaire, processus particulièrement contingent qu’il faut analyser dans sa complexité. L’étude des effets des transformations institutionnelles sur le terrain, reliée à l’analyse des enjeux géopolitiques dans la sous-région, montre que les problématiques locales comptent autant que les dynamiques globales. L’examen de l’histoire de l’armée, de la gendarmerie, et de la garde nationale mauritanienne au cours des vingt années qui suivent l’indépendance du 28 novembre 1960, permet de distinguer les continuités, mais aussi la trajectoire propre de l’État mauritanien postcolonial, liée à l’agenda des acteurs locaux tout autant qu’à celui de l’ancienne puissance colonialeThis thesis proposes a multidimensional history of the army of Mauritania since the French military conquest of the Western Sahara to the coup d’état of 10 July 1978 that inaugurated a long era of military governments. The colonial army, just like the colonial state, has its own characteristics. It develops, through its experiences, multiple adaptation strategies, both in terms of its organisation and military missions. Its two salient features are the double recruitment (that differentiates between sub-Saharan tirailleurs and « suppletifs maures » and the multiplicity of its missions (political, military, defense and policing).These specificities are partly inherited by the national armed forces through the transmission of military power (and domain ?). This process is particular contingent and must be analysed in all its complexity. This study of the effects of institutional transformations, linked to the analysis of the geopolitical stakes of the sub-region, demonstrates that local issues and dynamics are as significant as global ones. The study of the history of the Mauritanian army, gendarmerie and national guard since independance until the mid 1970s allows to identify the continuities, but also the trajectory of the postcolonial Mauritanian state, whose path is linked both to the agenda of local actors and the old colonial war

Full textAbstract:
Depuis plusieurs années, les structures du patrimoine sont entrées de plein pied dans l’ère du numérique. Elles rejoignent de plus en plus les perspectives des humanités numériques orientées vers la démocratisation du savoir et le renouveau des recherches en Sciences Humaines et Sociales (SHS). Les principes de la démocratisation visant un rapprochement du patrimoine écrit au numérique semblent faire émerger de nouveaux points de réflexions tels que les conséquences de la diffusion des sources pour les besoins de la recherche. Si ces aspects ne sont pas à l’origine d’oppositions dans le domaine des bibliothèques, dans le cas des Archives,ils suscitent un tout autre rapport notamment du point de vue des droits de l’homme et des principes d’accès aux sources, notamment la diffusion. Les multiples avantages du numérique,naguère connus, vantés et recommandés par les politiques actuelles ont élagué des questions centrales à la sensibilité humaine et aux perceptions sociales. Certes, l’honorabilité des pratiques de globalisation associée au principe « d’accès universel au savoir » tel que pensé par Paul Otlet ont des enjeux mémoriels. Toutefois les polémiques liées aux discours sur la colonisation ont laissé place à des critiques sur les idéaux de la « culture pour tous » tout en suggérant une reconfiguration anthropologique de ce qui fonde l’ipséité des sources. Ce faisant,l’archive coloniale devient un réservoir de polémiques et de manifestations d’émotions, enrichie par des expériences personnelles et des situations sociales problématiques. Ces difficultés sont circonstanciées par la dimension émotive du document très peu considérée par les institutions patrimoniales, et les techniques de spectacularisations proposées par les professionnels de l'information. La caractéristique émotive attachée au document est suggérée par le fait que les émotions sont « des qualités d’une expérience complexe qui progresse et évolue, et sont liées à un drame »(Dewey, 2005). L’émotion patrimoniale, en considérant la typologie des documents de la période coloniale, dont il est ici question, répond à une « configuration émotionnelle ».Elle est caractérisée par des émotions collectives où se mêlent imaginaire et vécu. Dès lors,cette thèse tente de démontrer comment le contenu informationnel du document d’archive peut influer sur les perceptions émotionnelles des descendants de colonisé en AOF (AfriqueOccidentale Française) ? Comment se noue, à travers ce contenu, des imaginaires collectifs attachés à l’histoire coloniale ? Et comment se conjuguent principes des droits de l’homme et mise à disposition des sources (droit à l’information) la mise à disposition des sources quand celle-ci réveille réminiscences et souffrancesFor several years now, heritage structures have entered the digital age. They areincreasingly broadening the perspectives of the Digital Humanities oriented towards thedemocratization of knowledge and the new aspects of research in Human and Social Sciences.The principles of democratization aimed at bringing digital heritage closer together seem tobring new points of reflection such as the results of the dissemination of sources for the purposesof research. These aspects do not arouse oppositions in the field of Librarianship andInformation Science. However, in the case of the Archives, they evoke quite a different reaction,particularly from the point of view of human rights and principles of access to sources and theirprovision. The multiple well-known benefits of digital, promoted and recommended by currentpolicies have overshadowed the issues related to human sensitivity and social perceptions.Definitely, the respect of the practices of globalization associated with the principle of"universal access to knowledge" as designed by Paul Otlet, poses memorial challenges.However, the polemics on the discourses on colonization have given way to criticisms of theconcept of "culture for all", suggesting an anthropological reconfiguration of the foundationsof the ipseity of sources. The colonial archives have become a reservoir of polemics andmanifestations of emotions, enriched by personal experiences and problematic social situations.These difficulties are accompanied by the emotional dimension of the document not muchrecognized by the heritage institutions, as well as by the spectacularization methods proposedby the information professionals. The suggestion of the emotional dimension of the documentis supported by the fact that emotions are "qualities of a complex experience that progressesand evolves, and they are linked to a drama" (Dewey, 2005). Considering the typology of thecolonial period documents, the patrimonial emotion responds to an "emotional configuration".It is characterized by collective emotions where imaginary and real are combined. Therefore,this thesis attempts to explain how the information content of the archival document caninfluence the emotional perceptions of the descendants of the colonized peoples in French WestAfrica? How is this collective imaginary of colonial history established through this content?And how are the principles of human rights combined with access to sources (right toinformation) when it recalls reminiscences and suffering?

Cette thèse tente d'étudier la structure sociale des villes coloniales en Indochine française. Il s'agit d'une étude sur l'histoire de l'influence de la colonisation sur la société et les habitants urbains au Viêtnam, en prenant principalement le cas de Hanoi et Haiphong dans la première moitié du XXe siècle.Aprés avoir bien examiné la méthode, la politique et l'organisation de la colonisation de l'Indochine, nous mettons d'abord les questions comme suit : comment les villes de Hanoi et Haiphong ont-elles été construites ? ; À quels problèmes ont-elles fait face dans les processus de sa formation et son développement ? Ensuite, nous avons jeté un regard sur les habitants à la ville coloniale de Hanoi en remarquant la répartition géographique et démographique des professions et catégories socioprofessionnelles (PCS), notamment des petits commerçants-artisans. Les cadres indochinois auraient peut-être mieux exploités surtout en ce qui concerne le salaire et niveau de vie à la veille de l'indépendance.De cela, on pourra relever certaines caractéristiques de la structure sociale et de la stratification sociale de la ville coloniale de Hanoi. À ce propos, nous analysons le mouvement social dans le contexte mondial de la crise économique après 1930 et l'application du réglementation général du travail en Indochine de 1936, en mettant en scène une grève des ouvriers déclenchée à Hanoi en 1937, qui a permis d'exécuter la politique sociale au même niveau que la métropole. En conclusion, cette grève "légale" a eu pour résultat une création de « nouveaux réseaux sociaux indigènes » en regroupant les patrons et les ouvriers par même profession au Nord-ViêtnamThis Thesis examines the social structure of colonial cities in French Indochina, which means that it aimes to reveal link between the colonial system and the colonial society. But we're talking about a study of history of the influence of colonization on society and urban inhabitants in Vietnam. Therefor it will take the case of Hanoi and Haiphong during the first half of the twentieth century.After examining method, policy and organization of the Indochinese colonization, we ask some questions as follows : how Hanoi was built ; what problem this city was faced with in the process of its formation and development. This subject will be treated from a comparative perspective with one of the most principal city in Vietnam : Haiphong.Then, we are intersted in the inhabitants of colonial city Hanoi pointing out the geographic distribution of "professions et catégories socioprofessionnelles" (PCS : professions and social-occupational categories). The best part of this research is characterized by demography of new PCS, especially of small marchants and craftmen.From such approach, we extract some caracteristics of social structure and social stratification of colonial city Hanoi. In this connection, we analyze, moreover, social movement in the worldwide contexte of economic crisis after 1930 and application of labour law of Indochina in 1936, directing labour strike broke out at Hanoi in 1937, only which allowed exercise the social policy at the same level as metropolitain France. In conclusion, this "legal" strike had the effect of creating « a new indigenous social network » grouping management and workers into same professions in North-Vietnam

O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma análise da construção discursiva da colonialidade portuguesa a partir da leitura de narrativas que receberam o Prêmio de Literatura Colonial da Agência Geral das Colónias (AGC), distinção concedida pelo Estado Novo português entre 1926 e 1951. Trata-se do estudo dos processos de dominação e hierarquização social realizados pela via literária nas antigas colônias de Moçambique, Angola, e Timor-Leste. Para tanto, três obras foram privilegiadas para leitura: Oiro africano, Na pista do marfim e da morte: reportagens vividas e escritas por Ferreira da Costa e Gentio de Timor, escritas pelos colonialistas portugueses Julião Quintinha, Ferreira da Costa e Armando Pinto Corrêa nos anos de 1929, 1944 e 1935, respectivamente. Além de destacar e analisar aspectos significativos do discurso colonial, este trabalho evidencia, em paralelo, a dimensão política e cultural desses textos, que, usados como ferramenta da ação colonial, acabaram também fazendo um autorretrato dos próprios portugueses que colonizaram aquelas terras. Faz-se, ainda, pela análise de fontes primárias como materiais de jornais de época, uma correlação entre o lançamento dos títulos no mercado editorial português, a atuação social de seus autores como articulistas na imprensa e os papeis que exerceram como educadores ou administradores coloniais.
The aim of this work is to draw an analysis of the discursive construction of the portuguese coloniality trough the reading of narratives that won the General Agency of Colonies` Colonial Literature Prize, an award granted by the portuguese Estado Novo between 1926 and 1951. It focuses on the study of domination and social hierarchization set up by literary means in the former colonies of Mozambique, Angola and East Timor. For such task, three books were chosen: Oiro africano, Na pista do marfim e da morte: reportagens vividas e escritas por Ferreira da Costa e Gentio de Timor, respectively written by portuguese colonialists Julião Quintinha, Ferreira da Costa and Armando Pinto Corrêa in 1929, 1944 and 1935. Besides pointing out relevant aspects of the colonial discourse, this work highlights the cultural and political dimension of these texts, wich, used as a tool for the colonial action, ended out by making a portrait of the same portuguese people who colonized those lands. Still, the release of those titles in the portuguese editorial market is put into perspective with the authors` social performance as news articulists and their roles as educators or colonial managers. Primary sources, as newspapers, help accomplish this work.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explored Korean mass politics through neighborhood associations from the late 1930s to 1960s, defining them as a nationwide organization for state-led mass campaigns. They carried the state-led mass programs with three different names under three different state powers -Patriotic NAs by the colonial government and U.S. occupational government, Citizens NAs under the Rhee regime and Reconstruction NAs under Park Chung Hee. Putting the wartime colonial period, the post liberation period and the growing cold war period up to the early 1960s together into the category of "times of state-led movements," this dissertation argued that the three types of NAs were a nodal point to shape and cement two different images of the Korean state: a political authoritarian regime, although efficient in decision-making processes as well as effective in policy-implementation processes. It also claimed that state-led movements descended into the "New Community Movement" in the 1970s, the most successful economic modernization movements led by the South Korean government.
The beginning of a new type of movement, the state-led movement, arose in the early 1930s when Japan pushed its territorial extension. The colonial government, desperate to reshape Korean society in a way that was proper to the Great East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and wartime mobilization, revised its mechanism of rule dependent on an alliance with a minority of the dominant class and tried to establish a contact with the Korean masses. Its historical expression was the "social indoctrination movement" and the National Spiritual General Mobilization Movement. Patriotic NAs, a modification of Korean pre-modern practice, were the institutional realization of the new mechanism. To put down diverse tensions within a NA, patriarchal gatherings made up of a male headman and male heads of household were set up.
Central to their campaigns—rice collection, saving, daily use of Japanese at home, the ration programs and demographic survey for military drafts—was the diverse interpretation of family: the actual place for residence and everyday lives, a symbolic place for consumption and private lives, and a gendered place as a domestic female sphere. The weakest links of the imperial patriarchal family ideology were the demands of equal political rights and the growing participation of women. They truly puzzled the colonial government which wanted to keep its autonomy from the Japanese government and to involve Korean women in Patriotic NAs under the patriarchal authority of male headmen.
The drastic demographic move after liberation, when at least two million Korean repatriates who had been displaced by the wartime mobilization and returned from Japan and Manchuria, made both the shortage of rice and inflation worse. It led the U.S. military occupational government not only to give up their free market economy, but also to use Patriotic NAs for economic control—rice rationing and the elimination of "ghost" populations. Although the re-use of NAs reminiscent of previous colonial mobilization efforts brought backlash based on anti-Japanese sentiment, the desperation over rice control brought passive but widespread acceptance amongst Koreans.
Whilst renaming Patriotic NAs as Citizens NA for the post-Korean War recovery projects in the name of "apolitical" national movements and for the assistance of local administration, the South Korean government strove to give it historical legitimacy and to define it as a liberal democratic institution. They identified its historical origins in Korean pre-modern practices to erase colonial traces, and at the same time they claimed that Citizens NAs would enhance communication between local Koreans and the government. After the pitched political battle in the National Congress in 1957, Citizens NAs got legal status in the Local Autonomy Law. The largest vulnerability to Citizens NAs lied in their relation to politics. While leading "apolitical" national movements as well as assisting with local administration tasks, they were misused in elections. Consequently, they were widely viewed as an anti-democratic institution because they violated the freedom of association guaranteed by the Constitution and undermined local autonomous bodies. In the end, they lost their legal status in Local Autonomy Law, with Rhee regime collapsed.
When Park Chung Hee succeeded in his military coup in 1961, he resuscitated NAs in the name of Reconstruction NAs for the "Reconstruction" movement with the priority being placed on economic development. However, civilians were against the re-use of NAs, with the notion that the governments politically abused them. Finally, the arbitrary link between state power and the NAs waned throughout the 1960s, passing its baton to the "New Community Movement" which began in 1971and swept through Korean society until the 1980s.

Resumo: As invasões holandesas da Bahia e de Pernambuco puseram o domíno português à prova. Considerada a fragilidade política e militar de Portugal no momento, esta tese parte da constatação de que sua vitória deveu-se essencialmente a elementos internos a sua colônia: o levante de senhores de engenho pernambucanos contra a Companhia holandesa das Índias Ocidentais. Postulase que a política colonial adotada para o governo da Bahia possibilitou que a defesa da capitania, ao longo do conflito, fosse financiada pela economia colonial, sem que os atritos resultantes comprometessem a segurança do mesmo domínio. Para tanto, levantou-se os termos do envolvimento da sociedade colonial na guerra. Na movimentação militar, ponderou-se a capacidade de mobilização daquela população, em função do escravismo. Trabalhou-se a composição, a disciplina e a remuneração do exército em Salvador. Levantou-se os termos do socorro de homens e provisões do Reino durante a guerra. Dentro deste quadro, procurou-se compreender a fiscalidade na Bahia e a relação entre a Fazenda real e a açucarocracia.
Abstract: The Dutch ocupation of Bahia and Pernambuco put the portuguese rule of its colony to a test. Considering the military and political frailty of Portugal at the time, the present work considers the fact that its victory was mainly a result of colonial factors: in particular, the revolt of the sugar mill owners of Pernambuco against the Dutch West India Company. Our thesis is that the colonial policy adopted in the government of Bahia induced the colony's wealth to finance the costs of the defense, avoiding at the same time that political tensions caused by taxation and colonial exploitation undermined its security. In that sense, this work builds an analysis of the involvement of Bahian inhabitants in the war, particularly the relationship of the slaveholder society with the army. Furthermore, there is attention to the provisioning of men, weapons and supplies by the Portuguese Crown, as well as its naval policy. Finally, the work has sought to describe the terms through which the Royal Tresury and the political body of the colony dealt with taxation and defense problems during that time.

Dissertação de Mestrado em AntropologiaSendo o período colonial português ainda relativamente recente é possível estudá-lo, não só através dos registos escritos, como através da memória daqueles que são hoje as testemunhas de um determinado passado. Os relatos dessas testemunhas consistem numa multiplicidade de vozes que permitem romper com a ideia de uma história única e institucional. A partir das vivências atuais, os acontecimentos do passado são revisitados e as cicatrizes do tempo ido emergem do olhar lançado retrospetivamente. Através do período histórico abrangido pela memória dos vivos é possível reconstituir, de forma cruzada e através de formas de saturação de informação, não só um determinado segmento temporal, como o contexto que lhe deu forma e sequência. O objetivo da presente investigação é o de, através de uma etnografia histórica, descrever e analisar os quotidianos e as atividades das crianças na sociedade colonial guineense, num contexto de dominação colonial marcado por diversidades culturais, étnicas, sociais, geográficas, económicas e políticas.
Considering that the Portuguese colonial period is still relatively recent, it is possible to study it, not only through written records, but also through the memory of those who are witnesses to a particular past. The testimonies of these witnesses consist of a multitude of voices that allow breaking with the idea of a unique and institutional history. From the current experiences, the events of the past are revisited and the scars of a time gone by emerge from the retrospective gaze. Through the historical period covered by the memory of the living, it is possible to reconstruct, in a cross-way and through forms of saturation of information, not only a certain temporal segment, but also the context that gave it form and sequence. The objective of the present research is to describe and analyze the daily activities and activities of children in Guinean colonial society, in a context of colonial domination marked by cultural, ethnic, social, geographical, economic and political diversities.

Les manuels scolaires de la Troisième République exaltent au contraire la conquête de l’Indochine et les progrès qui, selon eux, s’ensuivent nécessairement. Il en est de même de la littérature pour la jeunesse qui met de plus l’accent sur l’environnement naturel indochinois propice à tous les rêves et à toutes les aventures. Mais l’opinion publique française a sans doute été avant tout marquée par les nombreuses expositions coloniales où la part des divers pays d’Indochine est de plus en plus importante et culmine à Paris avec la grande exposition coloniale internationale de 1931. C’est notamment dans ce contexte qu’émerge, par delà la prééminence longtemps postulée de l’art khmer, un discours patrimonial nouveau sur la diversité et la spécificité des arts indochinois (annamite, cham, khmer et laotien) qui constituera, avec l’aide des sociétés savantes de la colonie (Ecole Française d’Extrême Orient, Société des Amis du Vieux Hué) l’une des bases du discours touristique colonial naissant. Mais ces représentations de l'Indochine pacifiée, engagée sur la voie de la civilisation et du progrès, sont vite sapées par le flux d'informations concernant les soulèvements populaires vietnamiens de 1930 et leur répression. Les voix des Vietnamiens de France en nombre croissant (étudiants, travailleurs, intellectuels et militants indépendantistes) et celles de grandes figures du reportage (André Viollis convergent alors et ébranlent alors toute l'imagerie coloniale. Toute une production littéraire francophone (pour l'essentiel romanesque et se présentant volontiers comme "indochinoise") avait de longue date -de Jules Boissière à Pouvourville et à Farrère - rompu avec l'imagerie coloniale et son optimisme : satire du "Tonkin où l'on s'amuse" (Pouvourville) et des milieux coloniaux (Farrère, les Civilisés, 1905), constat d'un irréductible attachement des vietnamiens à leur indépendance (Jules Boissière)The diaries of French soldiers participated in Vietnam’s pacification (1885-1900) did not follow the colonial stereotype perception. . Textbooks of the Third Republic in contrast, exalt the Indochinese conquest and believe in future necessary developments. This is also found in young adult literature which puts more emphasis on Indochinese natural environment for all dreams and adventures. However, the French public opinion was properly primarily marked by numerous colonial expositions where presence of Indochinese countries was more and more important, at peak with the Great international colonial exposition in Paris 1931. Particularly, a new heritage perception on diversity and specificity of Indochinese Art emerges (Annamite, Cham, Khmer and Lao) where Khmer art was dominant for a long time. This perception, with helps of colony’s learning societies (Ecole Française d’Extrême Orient, Société des Amis du Vieux Hué) is one of the major contribution of colonial tourism. However, these representations of pacified Indochina, emberked on the path of civilization and developments, are undetermined quickly by the flow of information about Vietnamese uprising in 1930 and their repressions. The voices of increasing number of Vietnamese in france (students, workers, intellectuals and independant activits) and well-known reporters (Andrée Viollis) then converge and tremble together one coloniale image. Any work of Francophone literature (for essentially romances and considered authors 'Indochinese") for a long time, since Jules Boissière to Pouvourville and until Farrère, has been constrasted with colonial societies (Farrère, Les Civilisés, 1905), finding of an irrefutable attachement between Vietnameseand their independence (Jules Boissière)

El rol que jugó el latín como lengua de cultura y prestigio en las colonias españolas en América no ha sido estudiado a fondo. Especialmente en el caso del virreinato del Perú, la escasez de documentos ha impedido realizar investigaciones detalladas en este campo. En este trabajo analizo la importancia del latín en las zonas urbanas de la sociedad colonial peruana sobre la base de documentos escritos por autores peruanos y publicados en el virreinato del Perú hasta principios del siglo XIX. Entre estos, y por sucarácter único, destaca Asclepiadaeum, un poema en honor del virrey De la Pezuela, quien arribó a Lima en 1816.The role that Latin played as the language of culture and prestige in the Spanish colonies of America has not been studied in depth. Especially, in the case of the viceroyalty of Peru, the lack of documents has prevented detailed research in this area. In this paper I analyze the importance of Latin in urban areas of Peru´s colonial society based on documents written by Peruvian authors and published in the viceroyalty of Peru up to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Among these, and because of its unique nature, the Asclepiadaeum, a poem in honor of the Viceroy de la Pezuela, who arrived in Lima in 1816, stands out

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to provide a theoretical framework for the criticism of colonial and post-colonial African cinema. Emphasis is placed on the extent to which the nature of colonial cinematic policies and practices have influenced post-colonial African cinema, especially with regards to forms of subjectivities constructed through cinematic representation. The study begins by examining some of the methodological problems in the criticism of African cinema. It relates the concept of African cinema to debates dealing with Third Cinema theories, cine-structuralism and psychoanalytic critical theories, and argues that any of these theories can be applied to the criticism of African cinema so long as it is moderated to suit the specific nature of the African condition. It also defines the nature of African cinema by relating it to the notions of national cinema, the question of African personality and identity, emergent genres and film styles, and proposes a general cinematic reading hypothesis, anchored on the concept of subjectivity, for the criticism of African cinema. With respect to the colonial period, the main argument which I pursue is that two divergent cinematic practices existed side by side in Africa. First, there was a governmental and non-governmental agencies sponsored, non-commercial cinema, which treats the medium as a vehicle for popular instruction. Throughout this study, I refer to this cinematic practice as colonial African instructional cinema, and argue that it represents Africans as knowing and knowledgeable people, able and willing to acquire modem methods of social planning and development for the benefit of their communities. Second, there was the commercial cinematic practice which chose, and still chooses, to recycle popular images of people of African descent in the European imagination, as projected through literature, history, anthropological and scientific discourses, etc., in the representation of Africans. I refer to this cinematic practice throughout this study as colonialist African cinema. The main argument which I pursue with respect to this practice is that the images of Africans projected in it have a genealogical history stretching as far back in time as the classical era. In the modem period, the contact between Europe and Africa, and the subsequent slave trade, colonialism and their popular literatures, and the nineteenth century racial theories, are some of the factors which have reinforced the canonical authority of these images. I argue that this cinematic practice represents Africans by employing various metaphors which draw associations between Africans and animals, to suggest African savagery and barbarity, and that by drawing on such associations, they devalue African humanity, legitimise the colonial enterprise and all its attendant cruelties, and absolve Europeans of any moral responsiblities over actions supposedly carried out in the name of spreading civilisation. Though post-colonial African historical texts located in the colonial period respond to the whole colonial enterprise, my argument is that they are inspired, first and foremost, by the desire to refute the images of Africans identifiable with the discursive tradition of colonialist African CInema.

Full textAbstract:
Since the 1960s, the inhabitants of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda have serially considered and rejected becoming a sovereign nation. This thesis investigates the extent to which the positions taken by politicians and social commentators, who are involved in the debates concerning independence, are informed by their lived experiences and understandings of the island’s past. Grounded in an analysis of the island’s past, this thesis also investigates how Bermudians have historically defined belonging in the political sphere and public spaces according to ‘race’ and class and how this affects the way in which they interact with each other and regard their relationship with the United Kingdom. The study critically engages with postcolonial theory and asks what the existence of this 21st century colony says about the processes of colonialism and post-colonialism. It also considers how this study fits with other research concerning other remaining Overseas Territories to show the value of conducting in-depth studies of specific societies. By surveying archival documents and conducting interviews a fuller understanding of the political and social development of this island is gained, as viewed by colonial administrators, local government officials, and those who publicly challenged the norms that allowed for social and political inequality on the island. These methods are used to engage with questions of how ideas of self and nation were shaped by segregationist formal education and how this was either reinforced or challenged by what was taught around the kitchen table and in the wider society. It explores how Trade Unionist and the fledgling Progressive Labour Party (PLP) saw a move to independence as part of a wider aim to rectify social injustices. The continuity and change in the debate is then reviewed to see how and the extent to which changes both internally and externally interact with narratives of the past to inform how those involved in the debate imagine the island’s future.

This thesis explores the forces driving a series of momentous transformations to Indonesia�s production and distribution systems since early colonial rule. The analysis of these forces is anchored in four conceptual themes: the basis of these systemic transformations, their politico-economic ordering as driven by a surplus-creation imperative, labour�s role in this imperative and its response to the �ordering�, and the mode of production as the historical setting within which the transformations occur. This thesis illuminates an analytical gap in the literature by nominating labour as the key force in wealth-creation and recognising its active role in challenging ruling appropriation regimes and in the broader social struggles against exploitation and oppression. The thematic focus defines the boundaries for an exploration of successive colonial and post-colonial ruling regimes. Early chapters examine how the Dutch penetrated the Indonesian politico-economy, entrenching their systems of production organisation and creating an exclusionary system of wealth appropriation. Appropriation systems are characterised by transitions in European political and economic systems, especially from mercantilism to industrial capitalism. The entrenchment of colonial power is considered in relation to the expansion of capitalist organisation in Indonesia. The state�s stimulation of this expansion is associated with an undermining of the country�s reproductive base and a growing challenge to foreign rule. The Japanese occupying force� demolition of colonial productive and distributive linkages and encouragement of independence activism is connected with a post-war struggle for independence. Links are drawn between colonial rule and the tensions and organisational difficulties faced by Republican regimes leading up to the New Order�s re-establishment of a strict regulatory regime, and the development of an indigenous system of capitalist organisation. The surplus-generation and appropriation perspective informs the evolution of Indonesia�s productive and economic systems across colonial and post-colonial epochs and the challenges to the system of social and production regulation that heralded the destabilisation of New Order rule and the rise of the contemporary era of political democracy.

Full textAbstract:
Douala is a Cameroonian city located on the banks of the Wouri River, that experienced various economic, social, and spatial evolution due to the succession of colonial systems: German protectorate from 1884 to 1916, Franco-British condominium from 1916 to 1919, Mandate then Trusteeship regimes under the French supervision from 1919 to 1960. These Successive colonial systems have reshaped the urban space of Douala, through numerous projects and town planning initiatives. Some of these urban projects have been designed on the basis of massive expropriation of local populations, as well as urban segregation, for reasons of so-called hygiene. Urban construction and architectural forms in colonial Douala were conceived to impose Western hegemony. True support of power, colonial architecture in Douala reflects antagonistic urban initiatives, opposing the locals to the German and then French administration. Some of these buildings bear memories of forced labour, assassinations, racism, the imposition of cultural values, whips, and other inhuman and humiliating treatment that colonial administrators inflicted on local populations. On the other hand, within the former colonial powers in the postcolonial context, the imperial past in Cameroon is often equated with a glorious past of empire, which arouses nostalgia contrary to the difficult and painful tendencies of colonial memories in Africa. It is in this logic that the colonial past is subjected to selective oblivion, and idealisation aiming at its polishing. In this regard, the colonial buildings in Douala are the object of memory tensions that complexify their enhancement.
Colonial memory discrepancies can be explained by the dissonant heritage approach, theorised to highlight the tensions likely to affect the enhancement of historic sites in relation to atrocities. These are the sites of painful memories, with which various interest groups recognise linkages. The paradigm of Dissonant Heritage that emerged in the 1990s, inspired various other concepts in the study of heritage and heritage tourism, among which Difficult Heritage and Rejected Heritage. These evolving concepts recall the different possibilities to inspire from the Dissonant heritage, with a view to enhancing historical sites. In this logic, heritagisation models have emerged and inspired a specific heritage model applied to colonial built remains.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers Katherine Mansfield’s development as a writer in relation to late nineteenth and early twentieth century developments and trends in the visual arts in New Zealand, England and France. Mansfield’s notebooks, letters and stories evidence a definite response to developments in modern art and reveal that she aligned herself more closely with painters than with her literary colleagues; something Francis Carco hints at in his fictional account of her in Les Innocents (1916): he describes Mansfield as a predatory and exploitative woman with a detached manner, who “used him just the way a painter uses a model, studying character and movements” (cited in Mortelier 150). There exists in Mansfield’s stories evidence of the influence of the Impressionist and, to a lesser degree, the Post-Impressionist painters. While this influence has been noted by a selection of critics or rather her work has been described as impressionistic, it has been neither explored nor substantiated from an art historical perspective. My methodology has entailed identifying the defining characteristics of Mansfield’s stories that are also found in Impressionism, in as much as two different aesthetic forms can be compared. I then trace the exhibition history and contemporaneous criticism of modern French art in London and Paris alongside Mansfield’s trajectory in adulthood to ascertain the degree of exposure she had to Impressionism. In addition to that which she encountered in Europe, much consideration has been given to the artistic milieu of New Zealand prior to and following her schooling in London. I have sought to identify which of the modern artists and styles Mansfield most closely identified with, and to determine how precisely and extensively she applied the Impressionists’ painterly techniques and stylistic effects to her own prose. Broadly speaking, Mansfield’s preferred subjects may be grouped under three titles: Domestic Interiors, Urban Landscapes and Rural Landscapes – these were also the Impressionists’ favoured subjects. These categories, then, form the basis of my investigations.1
This thesis also explores the degree to which Mansfield’s colonial upbringing influenced, inspired and determined the themes and issues she chose to address, from the various forms of expression that were available to her to inherit and modify. My research reveals how both the cultural climate and the unique light and landscape of her own country made her susceptible to the ideas of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists, even before she reached the more art-oriented cities of London and Paris. Mansfield’s status as a foreigner in Europe allowed her greater freedom to experiment and greater licence to borrow from other cultural forms and traditions. Though strains of Realism, Naturalism, Symbolism and

This also means, however, that the individual chapters are strong enough to stand alone and thus this doctoral thesis should prove a valuable reservoir for future research.

Expressionism are all evident in Mansfield’s modernist fiction, it is the impressionistic quality of her work – evident in the fleeting and evocative sketches of the everyday – that is the overriding feature. Her colonial heritage was not only a significant factor in this development, but to a degree, the enabling condition – allowing her to reconcile the lessons of Europe within a New Zealand literary context resulting in a unique brand of Colonial Impressionism.
NOTE ON THE TEXT
Mansfield’s inconsistent and idiosyncratic spelling and punctuation have been retained within quotes in this thesis. In her letters she often dispensed with apostrophes and rarely used commas, instead preferring the dash. When citing, I have chosen not to follow these particular oddities with [sic] as these would be too numerous and would disrupt the flow of the text. I have instead followed the conventions of Mansfield’s editors.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis attempts to provide a chronological analysis of Lagden's colonial career between 1877 and 1907. The youngest son of a parish priest, Lagden received limited formal education and no military training. By a fortuitous set of circumstances, he was able, as a man on the spot, to attain high ranking posts in colonial administration. As a young man, he acquired considerable experience in the Transvaal, Egypt and the Gold Coast. However, blatant disobedience led to his dismissal from Colonial service. Fortunately for Lagden, Marshal Clarke, newly appointed Resident Commissioner of Basutoland, insisted on Lagden being appointed to his staff. Except for a brief stint in Swaziland, Lagden remained in Basutoland until 1900. With Clarke, Lagden played a prominent role in the implementation of the Imperial policy of securing the support of the Koena chiefs by allowing them to retain and consolidate their power and influence. Lagden became Resident Commissioner in Basutoland when Clarke was transferred to Zululand. He continued established policies and championed the Basotho cause by opposing the opening of Basutoland to prospectors and by stressing the industrious habits of the Basotho. His tactful and energetic handling of the rinderpest crisis reduced dramatic repercussions amongst the Basotho and enabled cooperative Koena chiefs to increase their economic and political leverage. Despite his reservations over Basotho loyalty, Lagden emerged from the South African War with an enhanced reputation as the Basotho remained loyal and energetically participated in the Imperial war effort. Largely because of his Basutoland experience, Lagden was appointed the Transvaal Commissioner of Native Affairs in 1901. He was responsible for regulating African labour supplies for the mines and delineation of African locations. His failure to procure sufficient labour and his defence of African rights earned Lagden much abusive settler condemnation. As chairman of the South African Native Affairs Commission, Lagden produced an uninspiring report conditioned by the labour shortage and his personal distaste for decisive action. Nevertheless, its advocacy of political and territorial segregation influenced successive Union governments.

A escola brasileira, nascida Jesuítica, tem sua contextualização na sociedade portuguesa de meados do século XVI. Esta sociedade, não renascentista e como que não européia, assume-se tipicamente como portuguesa e cristã, e impõe-se enquanto tal através dos instrumentos disponíveis. A mentalidade que a perpassa condiciona a escola que surge no Brasil. Esta, desde o início, manifesta em suas formas o pensamento do Estado Português e da Igreja Católica. Através da cotidianidade, germina e amplia na colônia brasileira as relações próprias da mentalidade portuguesa-cristã, reforçando assim ainda mais o domínio destas e de suas relações.
