Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est de s'interroger sur la nature de la présence portugaise en Angola au 16e et au 17e siècles. Cette période correspond au début de l'essor du commerce transatlantique des esclaves dans l'Atlantique sud. Nous insistons sur les spécificités de cette présence : premièrement, nous mettons l'accent sur son caractère territorial, par opposition à la plupart des autres régions d'Afrique où la présence européenne s'est limitée à l'établissement de comptoirs commerciaux sur la côte ; deuxièmement, nous accordons une importance particulière à la rivalité luso-néerlandaise qui s'est déroulée dans la première moitié du 17e siècle et qui a correspondu à un des premiers affrontements territoriaux inter-européens en Afrique sub-saharienne. Dans les quatre premiers chapitres, qui recouvrent la période allant de 1483 – date de l'arrivée des Portugais à l'embouchure du Congo – à 1671 – date de la victoire décisive des Portugais sur le Ndongo pour le contrôle de l'hinterland de Luanda – , nous abordons la question de l'espace colonial. Il s'agit d'analyser les étapes de la formation de cet espace en nous centrant sur les interactions entre les différents pouvoirs politiques, aussi bien africains qu'européens. Nous nous intéressons ainsi aux efforts de délimitation spatiale de la part des pouvoirs coloniaux, conséquence aussi bien de la présence physique des agents coloniaux que de la production d'un savoir géographique. Dans le cinquième et dernier chapitre, nous mettons l'accent sur l'émergence de la nouvelle société que nous qualifions de coloniale, en analysant les caractéristiques et des dynamiques sociales des agents qui la composentThis thesis aims to question the nature of the Portuguese presence in Angola during the 16th and 17th centuries, a period which corresponds to the rise of the transatlantic slave trade in the South Atlantic Ocean. We pay particular attention to the distinctive features of the Portuguese presence: firstly, we insist on its territorial nature, that differentiates it from other African areas where Europeans went no further than setting up trading posts on the coastline; secondly, we focus on the Luso-Dutch rivalry that took place during the first half of the 17th century, leading to one of the first intra-European confrontations on sub-Sahara African soil. The first four chapters address the question of the colonial territory: they cover the period from 1483, when the Portuguese reached the mouth of the Congo River, to 1671, date of the decisive Portuguese victory over the Ndongo kingdom for the control of the Luanda hinterland. We analyse the stages in the formation of this territory by focusing on the interactions between African and European political powers. This focus leads us to take a special interest in the colonial powers' attempts at delimiting the colonial territory, a delimitation based on both the action of the colonial agents and the production of new geographical knowledge. In the fifth and final chapter, we analyse the social dynamics and characteristics of the agents that constitute what we see as a new emerging colonial society

Full textAbstract:
The term 'Spice Islands' has been used as a descriptor in m. The thesis begins with a chapter on my exhibition titled Islands of the Imagination. It describes the form the exhibition took, and how the various elements were developed and finalised. One of the most significant components was the canvases which reworked various signs of the Spice Islands. These canvases continued my interest in popular culture and deployed a variety of codes in order to find new ways of discussing the Spice Islands. Other significant elements included artefacts such as spices, Birds of Paradise and coins from my visit to the Moluccas. There were projected photographs taken by myself in the Moluccas, and also I showed many slides made by myself from publications that inspired the idea of the thesis itself. Some of my key photographs for the exhibition are included in an appended CD. any precolonial, colonial and postcolonial contexts. This thesis has charted some of the reasons why this is so, and the images which have been mobilised when the term is used. In the analysis of the images, and the production of my exhibition in 1999, the methodologies used derive primarily from Cultural Studies approaches. Part One, 'From Mythological Islands to the Moluccas,' describes some of the many and varied ways in which these islands were encountered over the last 500 years, and in doing so provides historical contexts for the images in my exhibition. The Spice Islands were initially mythological islands in the Western imagination from which came the most valuable of all spices: nutmeg, mace and cloves. It was these spices that fuelled the desires of European society and led to epic sea voyages. The Spice Islands remained less than real in both written descriptions and maps as the Portuguese entered uncharted waters, and there were many ideas in circulation about where the Spice Islands, or Moluccas, were to be found. The chroniclers of Magellan's voyage brought back to Europe the first evidence of the existence of the Spice Islands in illustrative and descriptive forms. In the 16th century, this pioneering journey was viewed as more significant for its discovery of the Spice Islands than for the circumnavigation of the world - the event for which it is now best known. Over time, the Dutch were to replace the Iberians as the colonisers of this area, and Dutch representations of the Spice Islands came into broader circulation in Europe. The images that were generated specifically from the Moluccas during the early years of the Dutch East India Company's presence in the islands were far removed from the Golden Age of Dutch art. This is manifested in the subjects that were illustrated, and also the techniques used to illustrate them. The crudeness of these images parallels the perception of these lands as being as far away from Holland as anyone imagined it was possible to travel. The Spice Islands were something other than civilised. In the 18th century, the Spice Islands became known in a much more specific, quantifiable way. They became a site from which investigations took place into the various forms of exotic flora and fauna. This was to be a significant departure from the early representations of erupting volcanoes and warships that appeared in many colonial publications. By the 1790s, French and British plantations were sprouting far away from the Dutch Spice Islands. There were now British and French Spice Islands in different parts of the globe. The term 'Spice Islands' itself was developing its own worth, and becoming as valuable as the spices themselves. By the 19th century, there were the original Spice Islands from which the term is derived but also other islands growing spices in diverse locations that could - and still do - claim legitimacy for the title 'Spice Islands'. In turn, the words 'Spice Islands' grew into a franchise/identity/logo, with other islands and commodities using the term in a transnational, transglobal capacity. Part Two, 'The Spice Islands as a Fractured Sign', suggests ways in which we might envisage an account of the Spice Islands as signs in a semiotic landscape of various media, including newspapers, magazines, websites and museums. This methodology also helps the understanding of my exhibition and the form that it took. It suggests that Spice Islands had become commodities in a somewhat different sense as they emerged as part of the tourist industry. The 'Spice Islands' existed wherever tour operators wanted them to. In popular culture, the Spice Islands could be imagined (with the aid of commercial tourism enterprises) as existing almost anywhere that was warm, a long way from Europe, and part of a trade that was associated with the colonial era. The thesis concludes with images derived from the Maluku wars that started in 1999, soon after my return from the Indonesian Spice Islands. Media reports on the wars provided yet more representations which connected the Spice Islands to the Moluccas once again. The conclusion suggests that to research images of Spice Islands is also to research the background to the fear of terrorism, the representations of Indonesia, religious wars and a wide range of political concerns that affect us today.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho investiga as formas de organização do poder local durante os 24 anos em que os neerlandeses dominaram as capitanias do Norte do Estado do Brasil (1630-1654). Como ao longo de tal período não se verifica uma continuidade na administração local, a investigação teve em vista a compreensão da estrutura e da dinâmica política das Câmaras Municipais da legislação portuguesa, que perduraram até o ano de 1637, assim como das Câmaras de Escabinos (Kamers van Schepenen), que foram criadas conforme previam as instruções da República das Províncias Unidas, contribuindo, assim, para o estudo das diferentes formas de administração local no Brasil Colônia. Nosso objetivo mais além, ao abordar como tal transformação no poder local foi sentida pela elite açucareira e pelos moradores das capitanias conquistadas, relacionando esse contexto ao da reação luso-brasileira contra os invasores a partir de 1645, destacando, então, o papel que as Câmaras Municipais exerceram nesse período de guerra de Restauração (1645-1654). Para tanto, nossa pesquisa insere-se em discussões mais amplas e críticas sobre, por um lado, administração e poder no Império Português, sobretudo no que se refere às relações entre os poderes locais coloniais e o poder central da metrópole, e, por outro, a expansão comercial e territorial dos Países Baixos por meio de suas companhias de comércio no século XVII. Partindo da análise do poder local no Brasil Holandês entendemos ser possível pensar os diferentes sistemas de dominação colonial, o português e o neerlandês, que se confrontaram nesse período e território.This work researches the organizational forms of local government in the 24 years of Dutch domination over the northern Estado do Brasil (1630-1654). As on the course of that period there was no stability in local government, this investigation has in sight an understanding of the structure and political dynamics both of the Portuguese Municipal Councils (Câmaras Municipais), which lasted until the year 1637, and of the Councils of Schepens (Kamers van Schepenen or Câmaras de Escabinos), created according to the instructions established by the Dutch Republic, and thus contributing to the study of the different forms of local government in colonial Brazil. Our aim is to go further by treating how that transformation in local government was felt by sugar aristocracy and by the inhabitants of the dominated captaincies, relating this context to the one of a luso-brazilian reaction against the invaders after 1645, and then attending to the role played by the Municipal Councils in the war of Restoration period (1645-1654). In that, our research falls in a larger and more critical debate about, in one hand, both government and rule in the Portuguese Empire, especially in which refers to the relationship between colonial local government and the central metropolitan government, and in the other, commercial and territorial expansion of the Lower Countries through their commercial companies in the seventh century. From the analyses of local government in Dutch Brazil it is possible to question the differing systems of colonial domination, both Portuguese and Dutch, which confronted each other in this time and period.

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.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis, The Javanese self in portraiture from 1880-1955 examines changing understandings and representations of the Javanese self in painted and photographic portraits spanning 75 years from 1880-1955. During this period, Indonesian modern art followed a trajectory from its 19th century beginnings within the domain of exclusive privilege, through the socially engaged Persagi painters to the opening of the first National art school, Akademi Seni Rupa Indonesia. In tandem there was a dramatic shift in the public’s understanding of two concepts: the modern individual and the nation state of Indonesia. The two however are not mutually inclusive and in many cases the modern individual precluded the nation. One must consider that the colonial state, rather than the Republic, was the defining structure into which many of the major players in Indonesian modern art were born and in which they operated. Furthermore, certain individuals crystallised their sense of national consciousness whilst living abroad and in many instances working in conjunction with the Dutch. In some cases the modern individual was situated in an isolated position, far outside any notions of a shared experience with an imagined community. Whilst this thesis is concerned with the biographies of individuals and is deeply committed to a social history of art, the focus on individuals is not made in order to reveal broader assumptions regarding society, but rather to reveal nuanced and sometimes very personal expressions of modernism. Because the appearances of modernism were not always concurrent or consistent with societal modernity, we cannot plot an uninterrupted or continuous path for Indonesian modern art. Yet a number of societal changes that came about during the period from high colonialism to independence affected class structure and gender, giving rise to altered states of selfhood and new methods of artistic expression. It is precisely the complex set of transactions between the individual, larger society and the economic and political conditions of the time that this thesis sets out to articulate in order to reveal a number of significant characteristics regarding the possibilities of self representation in portraiture. First, the early history of Indonesian modern art is plotted in terms of cooperative relationships between Javanese aristocrats and Dutch men. Secondly, that whilst appearing conservative and pro-Dutch, these Javanese artists were critical in initiating a discourse on modern art and in establishing a position of cultural nationalism, domestically and abroad. Finally, the conjunction of the first two points demonstrates that the history of modern Indonesian art began much earlier than previously believed and, perhaps even more significantly, was attached to the idea of Indonesian cultural and national self-determination at a very early stage of its development.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude est destinée à la question de l’hygiène aux Indes-Néerlandaises, (Indonésie après l’époque coloniale). Aux périodes étudiées (XIXe-milieu du XXe siècle) ce pays étant administré par les Pays-Bas, cette question sera donc examinée dans son rapport avec le colonialisme. L’hygiène était en effet liée à la politique coloniale qui mettait en avant l’exploitation des ressources naturelles pour l’intérêt économique des colonisateurs. Le médecin joue un rôle important dans la construction de l’impérialisme. D’abord, il assure la santé des Européens – des soldats, des planteurs et des administrateurs coloniaux – sous les tropiques. La santé des Indigènes – qui constituent la main-d’œuvre, et au sein desquels parfois éclate une épidémie qui menace le territoire – attire également son attention. Enfin, en élargissant le sens du mot « santé » à la santé mentale et sociale, le médecin ne traite plus seulement de l’hygiène médicale, voire de l’hygiène corporelle, mais aussi de l’hygiène sociale et culturelle ; il ne s’occupe plus seulement de préserver et d’améliorer la santé du corps, mais aussi de préserver et de protéger la moralité de la société. La lutte contre des facteurs destructeurs sociaux comme l’abus d’alcool, la criminalité, la prostitution, la pornographie et l’homosexualité est menée, car ces fléaux sociaux sont considérés comme un obstacle pour une société qui est en train de construire sa modernitéThis research seeks to elaborate the question of hygiene in the Dutch Indies, former name of Indonesia. The fact that during the period studied this country was a colony of the Netherlands, the subject will be investigated in its relation to colonialism. In the colonial world, hygiene is inevitably related to the colonial politic which emphasizes on the exploitation of natural resources for the economic interest of the colonizer. The well-being of the population and the good health of the workers must then be assured, hence public health programs become significant. Questioning the health issue, this activity could not be dissociated from medicines. The role of physicians as the main actors became important in the construction of colonial state. This is due to several reasons. First, they assured the health of the Europeans – the military members, the planters, and the colonial administrators – in the Tropics. The health of Indigenous people – regarded as the manpower – also drew physicians’ attention, especially when there was an epidemic that threatened the population. Finally, by extending the sense of the word “health” to mental and social health, physicians no longer dealt only with the hygiene of the body, but also the social and cultural hygiene; they do not only engage in the improvement of health, but they also had to preserve and protect the morality of the society. The struggle against the unfavorable elements in the social life like alcohol abuse, criminality, prostitution, pornography and homosexuality was deployed because these elements are considered as a major barrier against the process to construct a modernity society
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji persoalan higienitas di Hindia-Belanda, negara yang kini bernama Indonesia. Mengingat penelitian ini membahas periode kolonial Belanda, maka persoalan higienitas akan dianalisis dalam hubungannya dengan kolonialisme. Dalam sebuah negara kolonial, persoalan ini tentu saja erat terkait dengan politik kolonial yang selalu mengedepankan praktik eksploitasi sumber alam untuk kepentingan ekonomi penjajah. Itu sebabnya kesehatan penduduk dan tenaga kerja harus dijamin, dan dari situlah program kesehatan masyarakat kemudian muncul. Pembahasan mengenai hal ini tentu saja tidak bisa dilepaskan dari dunia kedokteran, dan oleh karena itu peran dokter menjadi sangat penting dalam pembentukan imperialisme. Terdapat beberapa alasan untuk ini. Pertama, para dokter ini berperan dalam memberi jaminan kesehatan untuk orang-orang Eropa seperti tentara, tuan kebun dan pegawai administrasi kolonial selama mereka tinggal di daerah tropis. Kondisi kesehatan penduduk pribumi juga kemudian menarik perhatian mereka, terutama ketika wabah epidemi menyerang. Ini karena, bagaimana pun, orang pribumi dianggap sebagai sumber tenaga kerja yang sangat penting. Terakhir, dengan memperluas makna “kesehatan” ke ranah kesehatan mental dan sosial, para dokter ini tidak lagi hanya mengurusi soal kesehatan tubuh, tetapi juga sibuk dalam urusan higienitas sosial dan budaya; artinya mereka tidak hanya sibuk mengurusi orang sakit dan meningkatkan kualitas kesehatan masyarakat, tetapi juga memberi perhatian serius terhadap persoalan moral di dalam masyarakat. Perang terhadap penyalahgunaan alkohol, kriminalitas, pelacuran, pornografi, dan homoseksualitas dicanangkan, sebab “penyakit-penyakit” sosial ini dianggap sebagai penghambat sebuah masyarakat modern

Full textAbstract:
Jewish ritual objects, Judaica, are significant for their symbolism and the meanings they convey through their use and art forms. The synagogue architecture can provide insights into a city’s past and reflect community’s aspirations. Mid-nineteenth-century Jewish heritage in Australia represents a rich historical and art historical field marked by a group of Judaica objects and synagogue architecture. Yet, the art history of Jewish Australia has, until now, remained an understudied subject. Inspired by a pair of exceptional and unattributed silver Torah finials (rimmonim in Hebrew) from The Great Synagogue in Sydney, this thesis investigates their provenance, and the emerging visual dimension of Jewish history in Australia. It offers a new context for understanding the role that visual expression played in the construction of Jewish identity. The thesis opens with an investigation of the rimmonim’s intricate provenance pointing to the late eighteenth-century Dutch silversmith and the Portuguese Synagogue in Amsterdam. The trail then vanishes until 1839, when Sydney’s Jewish leaders purchased the rimmonim in London. From this point on, the thesis examines the Jews' motivations to build a strong visual identity. It explores what inspired them in the design of Sydney’s two oldest synagogues – the York Street Synagogue (1844) and The Great Synagogue (1878). The Egyptian style of the York Street Synagogue sought to convey a message of ancient Israelites' independence. In contrast, the ornamented design of The Great Synagogue signified the merging of a new Jewish social conformity with the prevalent Victorian taste. Ultimately, this thesis instigates the method of documenting Jewish history in Australia through a visual-focused approach. It builds on the research of Australian historians, and moves into the mostly unexplored territory of Jewish art history in Australia.

Previous issue date: 2013-08-30The aims of this dissertation is to study formation of the Dutch view seeing the colonial scenery in screens by Frans Post, as well as, to perceive a colonial world constitution through landscape paintings by him with his natural and human representation. The artist was the first to portray South American views, after he landed in Pernambuco with retinue of Dutch governor of colony, John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen. Post, by his 24 years old, was designated to represent for Dutch people their colony. The text reflects on visual construction of natural and human aspects in landscapes by Dutchman and how that aspects were included in colonizer imaginary about the strange world of America. European (Dutch) look about their conquered possessions in the New World was charged with exoticism and imagination. In order to understand that view, it`s paramount to study imaginary pictures reared by Frans Post, on his return to the Netherlands, and notions of landscape and exotic, wild and unspoiled nature which the Dutch people had when they thought about the Dutch colony in America. Our principal (visual) sources of research are six paintings: Vista da S? de Olinda (1662), Vista das ru?nas de Olinda (undated), Engenho (undated), Engenho (1660), Vista da cidade Maur?cia e do Recife (1653), e Paisagem com rio e tamandu? (1649), all these canvases were painted when Frans Post returned to Europe. We seek to work through a methodology that focuses on investigation of primary visual and textual material, because these textual and pictorial representations reflect the 17th-century colonial view of colonial history themes of the - here called - Dutch America
O objetivo desta disserta??o ? estudar a constitui??o do olhar holand?s a partir da visualiza??o da paisagem colonial nas telas do pintor Frans Post. O tema deste trabalho ? perceber a constitui??o de um mundo colonial por meio das telas de paisagens de Frans Post, buscando entender este mundo pelos conceitos naturais e humanos representados nas pinturas do artista. Ele foi o primeiro pintor a retratar as paisagens sul-americanas quando veio embarcado, para o Pernambuco, com a comitiva do governador holand?s da col?nia, o pr?ncipe Jo?o Maur?cio de Nassau, quando tinha 24 anos, ficando respons?vel por representar as vistas da col?nia para os holandeses. O texto reflete sobre a constru??o visual dos aspectos naturais e humanos na paisagem do artista holand?s e como este passou a compor um imagin?rio do colonizador sobre o estranho mundo americano. O olhar europeu (holand?s) sobre as possess?es conquistadas no Novo Mundo era carregado de exotismo e imagina??o. Para compreender tal vis?o ? de suma import?ncia estudar as imagens imagin?rias que foram erigidas por Frans Post no seu regresso ? Holanda e as no??es de paisagens e da natureza ex?tica, selvagem e virgem que os neerlandeses tinham quando pensavam sobre a col?nia holandesa na Am?rica. Vamos utilizar primordialmente como fonte (visual) de pesquisa seis telas: Vista da S? de Olinda (1662), Vista das ru?nas de Olinda (sem data), Engenho (sem data), Engenho (1660), Vista da cidade Maur?cia e do Recife (1653), e Paisagem com rio e tamandu? (1649). Todas estas imagens foram produzidas quando Frans Post regressou ? Europa. Buscaremos trabalhar com uma metodologia que privilegie a leitura de fontes prim?rias visuais e textuais, pois estas representa??es textuais e pict?ricas refletem o olhar colonizador seiscentista dos temas da hist?ria colonial da Am?rica que vamos chamar aqui de holandesa

Full textAbstract:
Culitivated Tastes argues for a new evaluation of colonial landscape art and representations of nature from the Netherlands Indies (colonial Indonesia). The thesis focuses on examples from Java, Sumatra, Ambon and Bali during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but also discusses early post-colonial literature. It uses paintings and photography, with supporting references to Dutch colonial novels, to argue that images of landscape and nature were linked to the formation of Dutch colonial identities and, more generally, to the politics of colonial expansion. Paintings were not simply colonial kitsch (mooi Indi??, or 'beautiful Indies', images): they were the purest expression of Dutch ideals about the peaceful, prosperous landscapes that were crucial to uncontested colonial rule. Often these ideals were contradicted by historical reality. Indeed, paintings rarely showed Dutch interventions in Indies landscapes, particularly those that were met with resistance and rebellion. Colonial photographs often supported the painterly ideals of peace and prosperity, but in different ways: photographs celebrated European intrusions upon and restructuring of Indonesian landscapes, communicating the notions of progress and rational, benevolent rule. It is in literature that we find broader discussions of nature, which includes climate as well as topography. Here representations of landscape and nature are explicitly linked to the formation of colonial identities. Dutch anxieties about the boundaries of racial and gender identities were embedded within references to Indies landscape and nature. Inner colonial worlds intersected with perceptions of the larger environment in literature: here the ideals and triumphs associated with Dutch colonial expansion were juxtaposed against fears related to remaining European in a tropical Asian landscape.

Full textAbstract:
M.Tech.In this research, I examine whether cultural meanings embedded in original sixteenth to eighteenth century Dutch lace and Shweshwe fabric, as examples of colonial forms, are transformed through selected processes. With reference to Dutch lace from Holland, I analyse how the form changes within colonial and post-colonial contexts, but propose that the cultural meanings of the lace remain similar in both contexts. With reference to Shweshwe fabric, I argue that the form stays the same within both colonial and post-colonial contexts, but that its cultural meaning changes as a result of how patterns printed on it are named and identified in a post-colonial context. In this research, I use the term ‘cultural meaning’ to refer to certain signifiers of culture. I propose that factors such as value, class, aspiration, desire and consumption are embedded in or make cultural meaning. My central argument proposes that crocheted doilies, and plastic tablecloths and placemats might be seen as post-colonial versions of Dutch lace. These post-colonial versions of Dutch lace are adopted and adapted by female homemakers in Naledi Ext. 2 to suit certain decorative tastes, values, aspirations and act as markers of class. This adoption and adaptation of the original colonial form, shifts the cultural meanings imbued within it, but not necessarily the associated consumptive meanings. Whilst the primary focus of the theoretical research is Dutch lace and its proposed post-colonial counterparts, I also examine examples of original Shweshwe fabric and how meanings of motifs found on this fabric have been transformed by the modern Mosotho to reflect notions of value and aspiration, whilst the actual motifs appear to be unchanged. In my practical work, I use Dutch lace, crocheted doilies, and plastic tablecloths and placemats, as well as Shweshwe fabric as visual references in the production of large to small scale paintings. In these, I explore how, through painterly alteration and transformation, shifts can occur in the meanings of patterns derived from these culturally-loaded sources.

Full textAbstract:
The constant mutability of cultures as they meet and mix provides an ongoing laboratory in which to explore human dynamics. In this dissertation, I analyze the process and results of one indigenous-colonial encounter in Dutch Indonesia, using archaeological evidence from Banten, Java that illuminates interactions between Bantenese elites and Dutch East India Company (VOC) soldiers in the 17th to early 19th century. Banten, a global trade center and the focal point of Dutch expansion in Asia, had a cosmopolitan and multinational society of long standing, already apparent when the Dutch arrived in 1596. My research shows that a kind of "reverse" colonialism occurred here. Bantenese cultural influences penetrated more deeply into Dutch culture than the other way around, so that colonial Dutch culture took on a new, hybridized identity.
Utensils and vessels necessary for preparing and serving meals from excavations in the indigenous Sultan's Surosowan Palace, its surrounding Fort Diamond manned by VOC soldiers, and the Dutch headquarters at Fort Speelwijk provide the evidence. Petrographic and archaeological study indicate that the Dutch used locally produced Bantenese-style cooking vessels and lids, rather than import European tripod pots to accommodate their traditional open-fire cooking. Local Bantenese continued to use cooking stoves without tripod vessels, maintaining their culinary habits. VOC archives revealed a change in Dutch staple food from bread to rice. Hired male cooks and local women who prepared home meals (as wives and concubines) acted as cultural conduits, while vibrant local manufacturing and trade made local goods readily available. Thus Dutch cooking became hybridized with locally available vessels and ingredients.
The Banten results differed from the Dutch Cape Colony in South Africa but were similar to the Dejima trading post in Japan where the Dutch relied on local products. I conclude that proximity and daily interactions with the host society were crucial for shaping Dutch responses to the new environments and creating hybrid culture, instead of replicating their homeland. This study places Banten on the global map of cross-cultural interactions and colonial discourse; I hope to stimulate other researchers to test my hypotheses and build on these interpretations.2016-12-31T00:00:00Z

Full textAbstract:
The introduction of Islamic reformism in the late colonial period transformed religious life in the Dutch East Indies. Reformist Muslims sought to purify the faith of what they saw as corrupting un-Islamic elements, and 'modernise' the attitudes of the community of believers. They formed organisations such as Moehammadijah and the Jong Islamieten Bond, and embarked on a wide range of religious, educational and social reforms. A feature of the movement was its extensive involvement of women. Women established their own organisati9ps such as 'Aisjijah and the Jong Islamieten Bond Dames Afdeeling (JIBDA) which had specific agendas of improving the religious life and social rights of women. This thesis focuses on the 1920s and 1930s and examines why women participated in the reformist movement and what they gained from it. It describes the growth and development of reformist women's organisations and the activities they engaged in, and argues that Islamic reformism brought great benefits for women, despite restrictions on leadership and religious legitimacy. Further, this study examines the growing discourse of equal rights for women based on their religious obligations. It argues that this movement and the discourse surrounding it greatly broadened the opportunities for women. It also investigates a contrary discourse based on women's domestic role, and demonstrates how ideas associated with this became dominant in the movement without, however, eradicating the alternative discourse based on religious rights. This thesis also examines the institution of marriage, identified by both male and female reformist Muslims as a major object of reform, and argues that the role for women in setting the parameters of the reform program was limited. Although reformist Muslim women spoke often on matters such as divorce and polygamy, they acceded to male interpretations because of men's superior religious authority, and because of the political context of the debate. Women accepted what men defined as correct Islamic marriage and divorce procedures, and sought to improve their practice. Nevertheless, reformist Islam provided the religious justification for changes that gave women greater choice and freedom, both in terms of who and when they married, and in the nature of the marriage relationship itself. This study seeks to evaluate the benefits to women of the reformist movement as a whole. A wide array of original sources are used to identify the issues women addressed. Through debates on matters as diverse as the right of women to pray in the mosque, their obligation to veil, and how they could claim a divorce, women demonstrated what was important to them and why. Finally, this thesis critically assesses the contribution of the movement to improving the lives of its followers in particular, and locates the movement within broader debates concerning Islam and gender.

Full textAbstract:
The "regional nationalisms" of early twentieth century
Indonesia are often portrayed either as mere components of
the Indonesian nationalist movement or as expressions of
"primordial" ethnic sentiments. Minahasa, however,
displayed a local nationalism which was neither. Minahasan
nationalism was an autonomous development conditioned by
many of the same modernising processes which generated its
Indonesian counterpart, but operating on a smaller scale,
and beginning at an earlier date.
The territorial framework for Minahasan nationalism was
created in the seventeenth century, when an area in North
Celebes was isolated by colonial boundaries from its
political and cultural environment. In the nineteenth
century, the population of this territory underwent a
dramatic social transformation as a result of intensified
Dutch rule, compulsory coffee cultivation, Christian
missionary activity, and Western education. It was in this
period that Minahasa, meaning united, became the usual name
for the area. Unity was implicit in the commonality of the
colonial experience, and inherent in the centralised
institutions created in the territory by the Dutch. The
mission also promoted unity as an explicit social ideal,
associating it both with Christian brotherhood and with an
idealisation of Minahasa's precolonial past.
Cultural Westernisation, together with intermarriage between
Minahasans and Europeans, created a 'mestizo' society more reminiscent of the Philippines than of most parts of the
Netherlands Indies. As in the Philippines, however,
nationalist reaction against colonial policies and
prejudices also began comparatively early. Before the turn
of the century, Minahasan government and church personnel
were already using the colonial press to denounce the
behaviour of their European superiors, and doing so in the
name of the Minahasan people.
This tradition of protest was continued after 1909 by the
political party Perserikatan Minahasa. The relationship
between Minahasan nationalists and the colonial government,
however, was usually characterised by bargaining and
negotiation rather than confrontation. One reason for this
was that 'loyal opposition' often proved effective. The
Minahasaraad, a uniquely democratic regional council created
in 1919, demonstrated the feasibility of progressive
emancipation under Dutch guidance. Another reason was that
Minahasans had become a subaltern elite of office workers
and soldiers throughout the Netherlands Indies, with a
corresponding stake in the colonial order. Even so, neither
Perserikatan Minahasa nor its successor Persatuan Minahasa
regarded colonial rule as desirable or permanent.
The relationship between Minahasan and Indonesian
nationalisms was complex. Few educated Minahasans, by 1942,
denied that they were Indonesians or that their political
future lay with Indonesia as a whole. On the other hand,
the specifically Minahasan nationalism inherited from the
previous century also remained strong. Factors sustaining it included the Minahasaraad, the Minahasan churches which
appeared in 1933 and 1934, and the Minahasan experience as a
sometimes unpopular minority among Indonesians. Minahasan
intellectuals therefore tended to envisage an independent
Indonesian commonwealth in which each ethno-national group
or bangsa, including bangsa Minahasa, would retain political
autonomy within a federal framework.

Normally we were treat map as representation of the objective and realizable of the real world, it may make us to control the un-knowing area. According to this impression, we may get lost by the real meaning of the map which is the product of the social structure. In the past time, the main research of Geography of Taiwan normally focus on the improvement of mapping technique and appeared to be more and more precise and sophisticated. However, the invisible relationship of authority is rarely to be analyzed in the map. Hence, the main gist of this research is an analysis of the power dimension of the colonial map and its hidden interests and imaginaries. The author tries to analyze the colonial maps of Dutch and Japanese in the light of Giddens’s theory, in which the role of map producers, the time-space framework of maps, the function and utility of maps, and so forth. We anticipate seeing that graphical map is not merely a representation of real world; rather it is conditioned and thereby mediated by the subjective scheme of the producers and its time-space context. No matter how precise and correct it seems, we try to disclose the underlying colonial power, interest and imaginary.

A Study of Language Education Planning and Literacy Pedagogy in the Dutch and Japanese Colonial Periods Abstract “Literacy” has played a key role in the historical development and regime change of Taiwan, and acted as an important force in political struggle. Rulers possess the power of language education planning, whereby controlling the literacy policies, including language to be used, language education, etc. Hereby “literacy” is no longer a tool of communication, because the planning or intervention of language education policies can directly influence people’s life and education. This paper attempts to start from the viewpoint ofsociolinguistics as well as the perspective of language education to review and investigatethe language education planning during the 38 years of Dutch colonialism and the 50 years of Japanese colonialism, with a view to observing the development of language education policies and the evolution of language education course. Then research on the teaching materials, textbooks and pedagogy are conducted. These two colonial periods are chosen for getting rid of the conventional thinking of Big China (Han Culture) so as to explore into the two innovative and crucial periods of Dutch and Japanese colonialism with a focus on Taiwan. Although the ruling of the two periods was not long, their influence has been profound and important. This paper aims at four topics under the two periods and two themes. The first stage is language education planning, in which threads of historical materials and decrees of public organs (in educational system) are followed for deduction and reconstruction to draw out the then planning conditions. The second stage is carried out around the teaching materials and pedagogy in terms of literacy education. Then comparison of the two periods is made. It is hoped that this research can help establish Taiwan-oriented language education planning as well as diverse language education centered on local conditions.

The tribes of the aborigines residing in Taiwan generation after generation are diverse. In the long, traditional life that invigorates them, they have developed multifarious dimensions of culture and life. The progress in the development of their education comprises the ‘invisible education period’, that is, the heyday of the autonomous traditional culture of Taiwanese aborigines, and the ‘visible education period’, which takes on foreign culture in modern times. This study focuses on the creator of the ‘visible education’ for Taiwanese aborigines – Holland. Having experienced religious revolutions and been driven by mercantilism at the inception of the founding of the country, Holland commissioned the Dutch East India Company (Dutch: Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie, VOC), which functioned as the nation to colonize Taiwan, to plunder its economic benefits. Moreover, it targeted at the Siraya people in Southwest Taiwan and adopted a coercive approach to promote its colonial education based on Christian doctrines. This study explores the relevant background of this colonial education, gives an overview of its implementation and difficulty, as well as addresses its educational effectiveness and influence, and its inspiration to the current aboriginal education policy of Taiwan. In the 17th century, the West was in an era of change in rational thinking. The change in rationality in politics, economy and cultural thinking that it embarked on had profound impact on the move toward modern education. This change was also the key element that influenced the education policy during the Dutch colonial era. The most significant effect of the colonial education during the Dutch colonial era was the creation of Sinkan language (or Formosan language/Formosaan taal, as the Dutch called it). The Dutch education also indirectly impacted on the traditional social structure of the Siraya and led to the birth of the ‘nation as imagined community’ for the aborigines. However, in the process of promoting coercive education, six problems arose from the contradiction and conflict due to the influence of the change in thinking, internally, and from the rejection by the aborigines because of the disregard for their thinking, externally, as well as the influence of the linguistic characteristics of Austronesian languages: (1) the resistance generated by high-handed education policy, (2) the ineffectiveness of moral education that has been forcefully implemented, (3) the conflict caused by the standards of school curriculum that were not unified, (4) the influence of undertaking administrative duties by teachers on teaching effectiveness, (5) the influence of low-quality teachers on teaching quality and (6) the differences of Austronesian languages in Taiwan that were adverse to the promotion of education. In the text the Dutch colonial era under the influence of change factors and the content and characteristics of the aboriginal education policy of Taiwan in politics, economy, religion and morality, language and educational pedagogy are analyzed to serve as an inspiration to the aboriginal education policy of Taiwan. Furthermore, the discussion in the text is summed up in the conclusion, where four research findings and five suggestions are proposed to provide the competent authority for aboriginal education with a reference for planning and promoting aboriginal education policy. I. Research findings: (1) the emergence of rational thinking in the West is the key element that guided the education policy during the Dutch colonial era, (2) the ‘martial law system’ is the key element of the change in the aboriginal education policy of Taiwan, (3) the Dutch are not the pioneer in the aboriginal education of Taiwan but the creator of the ‘visible education’ and (4) the education during the Dutch colonial era denigrated Siraya women’s social status. II. Suggestions: (1) the administrative control of the aboriginal education should take into account the characteristic of its multiple cultures, (2) the aboriginal education policy should abrogate the decision-making model based on the thinking that values money highly, (3) the policy on mother language education for the aborigines should emphasize reviving tribal languages and enhancing their practicality, (4) the aboriginal education should construct a new way of thinking on religious education and moral education and (5) the aboriginal education policy should place great emphasis on the planning of the curriculum for life-long education.

The Christian faith came to the island of Taiwan over 150 years ago, and to this day is still viewed as a “Western Religion”. At the same time, in Taiwan, the conflicts between faith and culture can be felt at times even till this day which caused the author to wonder, is it because of these conflicts and views of the faith as a Western Religion that has led to the Christian faith not being able to really assimilate into Taiwanese culture? Moreover, has the Christian faith in the process of being shared brought a sense of colonization that has led to the conflicts between faith and culture? It is for these reasons that this thesis focuses on the early history of evangelism in Taiwan from a post-colonial perspective. In addition, an effort was made to find a suitable policy for post- colonial evangelism. The current research study is separated into two portions, a review of historical research and post- colonial research. The historical research portion of this study focuses on the periods of Dutch occupation in Taiwan, where the main persons of research were Reverend George Candidius and Reverend Robert Junius, and the period of time between the end of the Qing dynasty to the beginning of Japanese occupation in Taiwan through the experiences of missionaries William Campbell and George Leslie Mackay. Regarding post- colonial theory, Edward Wadie Said’s “orientalist” is referenced. Missions work during the Dutch occupation of Taiwan used a evangelistic approach of direct colonization where missionaries were directly involved in the colonization process. Conversely, missions work during the end of the Qing dynasty was packaged as layers. However, missionaries subconsciously still operated on imperialistic thought. Basically, during the period of Dutch occupation, missions work involved strong and forceful attitudes which included the backing of laws and military force. Conversely, during the end of the Qing dynasty, missions work used a softer and friendlier step by step approach. Regarding the attitudes of missions work amongst Taiwan Aborigines, both approaches were utilized. Aborigines were basically seen as poor barbarians that needed to be rescued and cultured. It is clear that missionaries of the time saw themselves as superior. During the Qing dynasty, missionaries used their experiences with the Malay people to justify their use of a firm approach to evangelize and enlighten the Aborigines of Taiwan. Basically, for these missonaries, the way of life for Taiwanese Aborigines could not be considered as civilized, or at the very least was an inferior form of civilization. Through a process of reflecting on past evangelism history, it is a hope that future evangelism can be a type of decolonization evangelism where Christ’s church can leave room and welcome those who are different from them.

Find full textAbstract:
Th e Dutch (VOC) trading empire of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries brought with it to South Africa not only the world of powerful
merchant capitalism, but it would also construct a new imaginative
geography and order of the land to that which had been known by its
ancient inhabitants, wherein the very idea of the land would be rewritten.
Many aspects of this new geography would be refl ected in representation
during VOC rule in the Cape colony, in its maps, pictures and drawings.
Within this picturing of the land, the rival indigenous presence as well
as the colony’s non-settlers inhabitants—both of whom formed colonial
‘others’—would also be depicted; although typically this visibility would
be carefully measured and managed in complex ways in both offi cial
and popular artistic representation.
While offi cial colonial and apartheid archives in South Africa lack
suffi cient, meaningful representation of marginalised groups such
as blacks, slaves, Muslims, and indigenous people, the visual sources
wherein such groups are depicted constitute another source of archive
which has still only begun to be explored comparatively and as a body
of images.
Th rough visual sources, the study analyses fi rstly the discursive,
imaginative, and physical appropriation of landscape as represented in
Dutch and British colonial-period maps and pictures in the seventeenth
to nineteenth centuries. Secondly it explores the representation of
colonial ‘others’ who are depicted therein, and to what extent it may
be possible to recover some aspects of marginalised narratives and
spatial practices. Islam at the Cape, whose history dates back to the very
beginning of European settlement but which was offi cially proscribed
for the most of the colonial period, also forms an important component
of the study, as a case study of such ‘liminal’ narratives and landscapes.

This thesis employs the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methodology proposed by Norman Fairclough to examine the colonial text, ‘Account of the Inhabitants’, written in 1628 by the Dutch missionary, Georgius Candidius (1597-1647), focusing, in particular, on narratives related to women’s marriage and abortions customs. The aim of the research is to identify the problematic usage of language and to trace the development of the written text and the accompanying discourse, showing how this was produced and practiced, as well as how it influenced Formosa’s Aboriginal society. Candidius’ written words influenced the Western world’s perception of Formosa’s Aboriginal people and have generated a series of historical representations since the seventeenth century. In Taiwan itself, after the lifting of martial law in 1987 and the transformation of political power, the so-called “Pingpu Studies” became, for a while, a main strand of academic research: Dutch-Formosan archival material was drawn upon and the phenomenon of textualization and reproduction emerged on the island. CDA is employed as a linguistic and sociological research method for the historical text and for its later usage in the Western and Taiwanese context. Based on the results of this analysis, the author highlights the ideology implicit in the account provided by Candidius, revealing the structures of power relations and the social inequality. Ultimately, the research doubts that the unchallenged legitimacy of Candidius’ text as a first-hand resource in Taiwan historical studies by a perspective of Postmodern.
