Full textAbstract:
In the Federal Elections of August 1943 the United Australia Party(UAP), which had been in office for nearly ten consecutive years suffered a resounding defeat and the result was a landslide for Labor, giving it an absolute majority in both Houses. This thesis traces the course of the disintegration of the United Australia Party to try to fill a gap in the historiography by explaining how and why an apparently popular political party was so categorically rejected by the electorate in 1943 that it subsequently vanished from the political scene as if it had never existed.

Whipday, E. "Shakespeare's domestic tragedies : disrupted homes on the early modern stage, page and street." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2015. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1461141/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a significant reappraisal of the relationship between Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and the genre of domestic tragedy. In situating these tragedies in the context of portrayals of disrupted homes in cheap print, I explore social, spatial, ideological, and psychological constructions of the domestic in early modern England. I demonstrate how Shakespeare uses these constructions to stage how societal and familial pressures shape individual agency; how the integrity of the house is associated with the body of the housewife; and how household transgressions render the home permeable. Chapter One examines how the political analogy of the household with the state is negotiated in three shrew-taming plays, in ways that prefigure Shakespeare’s appropriations of domestic tragedy. Chapters Two, Three and Four explore these appropriations: Chapter Two argues that Shakespeare transfigures popular conceptions of adulterous murderesses in creating the figure of Gertrude; Chapter Three traces how Othello stages the relationship between domestic enclosure, female chastity, and illicit privacy; and Chapter Four suggests that Othello and Macbeth borrow dramaturgical tropes from domestic tragedies in staging household murder. Chapter Five compares Macbeth’s use of popular conceptions of withcraft with the later borrowings of The Witch of Edmonton, and argues that Shakespeare and Rowley, Ford, and Dekker use similar sources, to divergent effects. The innovations of domestic tragedy challenge the distinctions of early modern generic theory, showing how the transgressions of those in subordinate gender and class positions can attain tragic stature and threaten the security of the state. This thesis argues that in Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth, Shakespeare creates new versions of domestic tragedy, using heightened language, foreign settings, and elite spheres to stage familiar domestic worlds. I thus propose a new way of understanding Shakespeare’s tragedies, domestic tragedy, and the significance of the disrupted home in early modern culture.

Full textAbstract:
The Birthday of the Infanta, a ballet that was created by John Alden Carpenter, Adolph Bolm, and Robert Edmond Jones, was performed at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago on December 23, 1919 and the Lexington Theatre in New York on February 23, 1920. Despite the positive reviews from daily papers and music journals alike the ballet was only revived once and is not a part of a known ballet repertoire. Although musicologist Howard Pollack discusses The Birthday of the Infanta briefly in his biography of John Alden Carpenter my analysis serves, through its exploration of both primary and secondary sources, to create a more complete and thorough dialogue through the examination of the social, economic, political and artistic factors surrounding the ballet. This analysis also helps to create a better understanding of ballet’s place in America in the early twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines parents’ perceptions of quality on early childhood services as they support families in the care and education of children. Data were collected from parents of under school-aged children using interviews, questionnaires and focus groups. Data analysis has enabled a determination of: the link between parents’ perceptions of quality and early childhood professionals’ views as expressed in the literature; parents’ satisfaction with services and the evaluation processes used by them; opportunities available to parents to engage with service staff to influence the quality of the services provided; and parents’ knowledge and use of the information services provided by the National Childcare Accreditation Council to assist them in their decision making regarding early childhood services. Results showed that communication between parents and staff is problematic. An accretion model of communication is developed to enhance the quality of early childhood services by promoting shared understanding and values between parents and staff, enabling parents to take part in decision making and minimising perceptions of threat to staff’s professional integrityUniversity of Western Sydney

Full textAbstract:
The representation of Revolution and revolutionaries develops as one of the main themes in Russian literary texts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It would not be an overstatement to say that most active writers during this time referred to these themes in their works. These themes developed in consort with the historical and political developments occurring within the country. The literature of the twentieth century led to a culmination in the understanding of this complex topic. This thesis will present an analysis of several types of Revolutionary characters and their concepts of what Revolution is and should be. It will present an overview of Revolution's origin and development as a background of early twentieth century Russian literary works. The close reading of the selected twentieth century works will be discussed within the body of this thesis. In particular we will review Alexander Blok's poem The Twelve, Isaac Babel's collection of stories Red Cavalry, Vladimir Zazubrin's The Chip: A Story about a Chip and About Her, and Boris Savinkov's Pale Horse.

Phillips, Wyatt D. "Stages, pages, and screens| The industrialization of genre and the early American cinema." Thesis, New York University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3602706.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the development of genre in American cinema from its origins to 1914. Genre has long functioned as a structure of communication between artists and their audiences, organizing repetitions and variations among cultural products, but the Second Industrial Revolution, in the latter decades of the nineteenth century, transformed the role that genre played in the production and circulation of cultural goods. My work proposes a history of this "industrialization of genre" in correspondence with the development of practices and strategies for the emergent motion picture trade in America.
Studying the business culture and the business of culture in the era of motion pictures' emergence, I demonstrate that though the technology and the material good of motion pictures were unique to the cinema, its commercial strategies clearly originated within the transformation of the industrial landscape and were already common to the concomitant media and entertainment trades. With this context in place, my analysis shifts to the systematization of genre particular to the American motion picture trade, locating the establishment of genre in relation, first, to transformations in the principal commodity and primary consumer. I then investigate several aspects central to the development of genres and a genre system unique to the medium of motion pictures: the emergence of the nickelodeon as a medium-privileging dispositif; the maturation of a discourse community in the trade press predominantly concerned with films; and the shift toward the horizontal alignment and vertical integration common to contemporaneous industries. The final section studies the institutionalization of genre, looking beyond the industrially determined structures to emphasize the legislation against other forms of duplication and finally to the development of a consciousness of film genres as a new type of foreknowledge for making meaning.
The institutionalization of moving pictures, I conclude, can now be further identified in relation to three genre-specific markers: the coordination of genre practices across the various sectors of the industry; the development of a medium-specific genre system; and the emergence of a motion-picture genre consciousness that helped to determine common protocols of interpretation for the mass audience of the industrially catalyzed cinema.

Bott, Rachel. "“Pale her cheeks they ought to be, it was only yesterday that she had been a tree.” : Gender, Power, and Hybridity in the Swedish Medieval Supernatural Ballads." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Historiska institutionen, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-411095.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes eight specific Swedish medieval ballads that contain supernatural transformation and hybridity for how they depict gender in late medieval and early modern contexts. Using literature as a historical resource and a micro-historical approach, this thesis applies gender theory, intersectional approaches, and monster theory to its reading of these ballads. Through this analysis, this thesis has found that transformation in these ballads highlights what it meant to be human in the late medieval and early modern periods, by contrasting and defining humanness through the tension of being a hybrid. And inevitably, discussions of the body during these periods involved having a gendered body. While these stories define what was human and what was not, they discuss and negotiate late medieval and early modern conceptions of masculinity and femininity. Additionally, the conflicts in these stories introduce real-life issues such as power, violence, and social roles. Characters in these ballads negotiate gender and social roles by subverting and upholding societal power structures. A woman acts independently and marries a snake against her family’s wishes. Wives use magic to upend the social hierarchy usurp their husbands’ authority. Father’s roles as protectors are both questioned and underlined in stories of their failures. This thesis concludes that late medieval and early modern audiences had many different understandings of gender, and these audiences used supernatural transformation ballads as a means of communicating complex and contradictory elements of identity and gender during this period.

Dois experimentos envolvendo 1280 pintos machos Cobb 500, foram conduzidos para avaliar as possíveis interações entre condicionamento termo precoce e balanço eletrolítico da dieta sobre o desempenho de frangos de corte, bem como estudar os efeitos do estresse térmico agudo e crônico. No d 8, as aves foram transferidas para 32 boxes, com raspas de madeira e resíduo desidratado de acerola (proporção ½ a ½ ) como cama, mantendo os mesmos tratamentos com oito repetições cada. Os dados da Exp. 1 (stress agudo) e 2 (stress crónico) foram combinados num arranjo fatorial 2x2x2 (com e sem condicionamento térmico precoce (CTP); dieta com e sem equilíbrio eletrolítico (EE); e estresse térmico agudo ou crônico. A dieta com EE foi calculada como mEq / kg para a Na + K-Cl e o valor da relação (K + Cl) / Na, com 300 mEq / kg e uma proporção de 3: 1, respectivamente. As aves foram alimentadas com: (1) uma dieta tradicional (176 mEq / kg e a relação de 3,36: 1) sem CTP; (2) dieta tradicional com CTP; (3) dieta com EE e sem CTP e (4) dieta com EE e CTP. Ração e água foram fornecidas ad libitum. Metade das aves foram expostas a 36 °C durante 24 horas com a idade de 5, enquanto que a outra metade não foi exposto a CTP. Na idade de 38 d, metade dos pintos foram termicamente desafiados por estresse térmico agudo de 36 °C durante 6h e com a idade de 35 a 39 d, outra metade dos pintos foram termicamente desafiado por um estresse térmico crônico de 32 °C por 6h. O consumo de ração, peso corporal (PC), a umidade das fezes e deposição de gordura abdominal foram determinadas a 46 d de idade e taxa de conversão alimentar ajustado foi calculado através da inclusão de PC da mortalidade. Coordenadas tricromáticas (L*, a*, e b*) foram medidos no músculo do peito, às 24h. Nenhum efeito de interação foi encontrado com nenhum dos parâmetros avaliados. Assim, não existe sinergismo para qualquer um dos traços. Houve aumento expressivo da mortalidade [(3,06-65,62%) / P <0,0001] de estresse agudo. O EE aumentou a umidade nas fezes (P = 0,0202). Os conteúdos de lipídios dos tecidos abdominais foram afetados pela exposição ao calor e diminuiu significativamente (P <0,0001) para crônica (53.9g) versus estresse agudo (127.5g). Além disso, um efeito significativo (P <0,0001) valores mais elevados foi encontrado em carne para aguda (66,4 e 23,2) versus o estresse crônico (57,6 e 17,6), em L* e b*, respectivamente. Os resultados sugerem que as aves submetidas a estresse agudo estão sujeitos a síndrome do músculo pálida aves.
Two experiments involving 1280 male Cobb 500 chicks were conducted to evaluate the possible interactions between early thermal conditioning and electrolyte balance of the diet on the performance of broiler chickens, as well as studying the effects of acute and chronic heat stress. On d 8, the broilers were transferred to 32 floor pens with wood shavings as litter while maintaining the same treatments with eight replicates each. The data from Exp. 1 (acute stress) and 2 (chronic stress) were combined in a 2x2x2 factorial arrangement [with and without early thermal conditioning (ETC)]; diet with and without electrolyte balance (EB); and acute or chronic heat stress. The diet with EB was calculated as mEq/kg for Na+K-Cl and the value the ratio (K+Cl)/Na, with 300 mEq/kg and a ratio the 3:1, respectively. The birds were fed: (1) a traditional diet (176 mEq/kg and a ratio the 3.36:1) without ETC; (2) traditional diet with ETC; (3) diet with EB and without ETC and (4) diet with EB and ETC. Feed and water were supplied ad libitum. Half of birds were exposed to 36°C for 24h at the age of 5, whereas the remaining half was not exposed to ETC. At the age of 38 d, half chicks were thermally challenged by an acute heat stress of 36°C for 6h or at the age of 35 to 39 d, another half chicks were thermally challenged by a chronic heat stress of 32°C for 6h. Feed intake, body weight (BW), moisture of feces and abdominal fat deposition were determined at 46 d of age and adjusted feed conversion ratio was calculated by including BW of mortality. Trichromatic coordinates (L*, a*, and b*) were measured on the breast muscle at 24h. No interaction effects were found for any of the parameters evaluated. Thus, there is no synergism for any of the traits. There was expressive increase of mortality [(3.06 to 65.62%) / P<0.0001] from acute stress. The EB increased moisture of feces (P=0.0202). Lipid contents of abdominal tissues was affected by heat exposure with significantly decreased (P<0.0001) to chronic (53.9g) versus acute stress (127.5g). Also, a significant effect (P<0.0001) values higher was found in meat for acute (66.4 and 23.2) versus chronic stress (57.6 and 17.6) on L* and b*, respectively. The results suggest that birds submitted to acute stress are subject to pale poultry muscle syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
Earle Christmas Grafton Page (1880-1961) – Country Party leader, Treasurer and Prime Minister – was the most extraordinary visionary to hold high public office in the Australian Parliament during the first several decades of the twentieth century. His incessant activism in regionalism, new states, hydroelectricity, economic planning, co-operative federalism and rural universities had a distinctively personal dimension. But he also contributed to and led several larger, and in some respects, perennial themes in Australian history related to issues summarised in this thesis as developmentalism. This study assesses the relationship between Page and this wider current of debate.
Page’s career as one of Australia’s longest serving senior politicians is characterised by his remarkably consistent but pragmatically opportunistic efforts to shape the still formative government and society of the Australian nation according to his personal vision of its economic and social future. His efforts influenced more conventional government policy, both directly through his membership of governments and indirectly through his long-term impact on what policy ideas were prominent in public debate. Page’s successes and also his failures elucidate the wider issue of the place of concepts of national development in modern Australian history. This thesis is a biographically-based study of the significance of applied policy ideas. The emphasis is on describing and analysing the most distinctive of Page’s policy initiatives, seeking to illuminate his significance in the wider world of ideas and politics. Page has been cast by some historians as merely reflective of a Country Party intent on securing resources for rural interests: this is greatly to underestimate his originality and significance. Although he drew on specific ideas held by other public figures and civic movements, Page uniquely moulded these into a coherent national vision that drew heavily on concepts of the desirable spatial disposition of population and the appropriate scale of public institutions. Over decades, Page made telling references to what he called the psychological moment. This marked whenever he judged that he at last had the public and political support needed to achieve one of his treasured policy goals. It encapsulates his awareness that his vision of the nation normally sat far outside the political mainstream and of the consequent difficulties he faced in trying to implement it. It also suggested, however, a sense that his ideas had potential to appeal to an Australian public who were open to fresh ways of viewing the national project. Page broadened existing developmentalist thought through his rare synthesis of ideas that both delineated and stretched the Australian political imagination. His rich career confirms that Australia has long inspired popular ideals of national development, but also that their practical implementation was increasingly challenged during the twentieth-century. Page’s influence and experience supports arguments that Australian public life has been rich in applied thinkers. His work shows how assessment of the contribution of an engaged individual, their ideas and advocacy, can illuminate a past that is both relevant to still unresolved issues in Australian politics and which is also suggestive of alternative paths.

Trabalho Final do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina apresentado à Faculdade de MedicinaPaget’s disease of the breast is a rare condition, frequent in females, with a peak of incidence between 50 and 60 years old. It affects the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) and is commonly associated with an underlying in situ or invasive carcinoma. Its initial clinical presentation may result from nonspecific nipple changes such as pain, burning, erythema or itching. The disease tends to evolve from the nipple to areola with consequent ulceration and destruction of the nipple-areolar complex. The histogenesis of this disease remains controversial between epidermotropic and transformation theories, both of which are plausible. Its diagnosis includes bilateral breast examination, mammography and breast ultrasound. The definitive diagnosis is histological, based on the biopsy of the lesions and, consequently, observation of Paget cells. Paget's disease is a hypothesis to be considered in the differential diagnosis of a chronic macroscopic persistent nipple or areolar injury. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose clinically, since it can mimic other benign and malignant skin lesions, the reason why it is often neglected. The first stage of early diagnosis corresponds to the suspicion of lesions compatible with mammary Paget’s disease by the patient. Breast cancer awareness interventions increase the acceptance of self-examination behaviors, which are essential for recognizing the normal structure of the breast and identifying abnormalities. Early diagnosis is essential for decreasing morbidity and increasing disease-free survival, enabling a more individualized and less mutilating therapeutic approach. Mastectomy has been considered the standard treatment for Paget's disease of the breast, however, today, some patients are candidates for breast-conservative surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy. The therapeutic decision is based on clinical and imaging findings, including the presence and the type of an associated carcinoma. The physician must be aware of the risks associated with the use of insufficient or excessive therapies. Currently, this pathological entity would require clearer guidelines to standardize the approach to Paget's disease.
A doença de Paget da mama é uma patologia rara, mais frequentemente associada ao sexo feminino, com um pico de incidência entre os 50 e os 60 anos. Afeta o complexo areolo-mamilar (CAM) e está comummente associada a um carcinoma in situ ou invasivo subjacente. A sua apresentação clínica inicial pode resultar de alterações inespecíficas do mamilo tais como dor, ardor, eritema ou prurido. A doença tende a evoluir do mamilo para a aréola com consequente ulceração e destruição do complexo areolo-mamilar. A histogénese desta patologia continua em debate entre as teorias epidermotrópica e da transformação, sendo que ambas têm tido aceitação científica. O diagnóstico clínico deve incluir um exame físico mamário bilateral e a realização de mamografia e ecografia mamária. O diagnóstico definitivo é histológico, a partir de biópsia das lesões e consequente observação de células de Paget. A doença de Paget é uma hipótese a considerar no diagnóstico diferencial de uma lesão crónica, macroscópica persistente do mamilo ou da aréola. É, portanto, difícil de diagnosticar clinicamente, uma vez que pode mimetizar outras lesões cutâneas benignas e malignas sendo, por este motivo, muitas vezes negligenciada. A primeira etapa do diagnóstico precoce corresponde à suspeição de lesões compatíveis com DPM, por parte da doente. As intervenções de consciencialização sobre o cancro da mama aumentam a aceitação de comportamentos de auto-exame, essenciais para o reconhecimento da estrutura normal da mama e identificação de alterações da mesma. O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental para a diminuição da morbilidade e para o aumento da sobrevida global e livre de doença, possibilitando uma abordagem terapêutica mais individualizada e menos mutilante. A mastectomia tem sido considerada o tratamento padrão da doença de Paget da mama, no entanto, atualmente, a cirurgia conservadora com radioterapia adjuvante pode ser uma opção em doentes selecionadas. A decisão terapêutica tem por base achados clínicos, imagiológicos e a presença e tipo de carcinoma associado. O clínico deve conhecer os riscos associados ao uso de terapêuticas insuficientes ou excessivas. Atualmente, esta entidade patológica exigiria orientações mais claras para uniformizar a abordagem da doença de Paget.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation studies visual artifacts associated with early modern theatre and book culture, and through them examines acts of communication in the marketplace. These artifacts, illustrated play-text title pages from the period 1600 to 1660, provide scholars with an opportunity to better understand the discursive power of theatre and subjects associated with drama in seventeenth-century London. This work offers a set of case studies that demonstrate how title page imagery and its circulation can contribute to our understanding of contemporary theatre culture, and addresses questions of intention, production and distribution. As well, it offers insights into early modern modes of constructing visualization. These artifacts served not only as visual reminders or interpretations of the dramatic works they represented, but were also used as powerful marketing tools that enhanced the cultural capital of the plays throughout London. The title pages were used as posters, tacked to the walls of the booksellers’ shops; the woodcuts were also repurposed, and incorporated into other popular publications such as broadside ballads, which retold the plots of the plays in musical form and were sold on city street corners. These connections raise questions about early modern forms of marketing used by publishers, and challenge the widely accepted belief that images held little value in the society and in the culture of print of the period. In addition, the distribution of these illustrations challenges the widespread conviction that early modern English culture was iconophobic, and suggests that seventeenth-century English society embraced rather than spurned visual media.
Methodologically, this study is built on the foundations laid by scholars of English theatre and print culture. Within those fields, however, it has been customary to view these title page illustrations as inferior forms of representation, especially in comparison to their continental counterparts. By using tools from visual rhetoric to expand on how and what these images communicate, I am able to show the important functions they performed, and the distinct and playful way they represent complex relationships between stage and page, audience and performance, reading and spectating. These readings, in turn, enrich our historical understanding of the cultures of print and theatre, and build upon our knowledge of the interactions between these rich and important fields.
Each chapter explores theoretical and contextual questions that pertain to some aspect of each illustration, as well as examining whether individual illustrations can inform us further about early modern theatrical performance practices. The introduction surveys the relevant field and introduces the theoretical resources that will be used in the subsequent chapters. Chapter Two examines the 1633 edition of Arden of Faversham and the question of whether the action in the illustration pertains to the play or to a broadside ballad that appeared in the same year. The third chapter provides a theoretical analysis of the performance of violence in the woodcut for The Spanish Tragedy, and how emphatic elements in the image may demonstrate the influence of theatrical performance upon the artist. Chapter Four explores the relationship between the title page of Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay and the concept of celebrity in relation to the Tarltonesque clown character who dominates the action of the image. Chapter Five considers the problematic relationship between theatre, politics and satire in the competing engraved title pages for A Game at Chess. The conclusion draws together the findings, and points to other aspects of early modern print and theatre cultures to which they pertain.

Based on Taipei Evening Post, one of the treasures of the National Central Library, this thesis would like to learn the movie reviews of the early post-war period by analyzing the related film articles on the entertainment page, which is named “Yin-zuo.” “Yin-zuo” is Jen Huang’s first masterpiece after he contributes sixty years to the film career. “Yin-zuo,” under the general editorship of Huang, is regarded as one of the important texts because it shows that the Chinese movie reviews come of age in early post-war Taiwan. This thesis focuses on the film reviews of “local films” and “Hollywood movies,” for they are quite different from each other in themes, lengths, and ideas. The local films mainly discuss the idea about “after winning a victory.” Huang emphasizes on the practicality of how movies reflect reality and he often feels disappointed at the local films into words. Besides, Hollywood movies are the mainstream of the movie theaters in the early post-war period. “Yin-zuo” provides the texts to imagine “the United States,” movie stars in “Hollywood,” and the development of technology. However, the movie criticism also represents the ambiguity between prosperous entertainment and the suffering during the war. Finally, although “Yin-zuo” of the entertainment section in Taipei Evening Post is published for a short time, I would like to show a part of the Taiwanese movies of the early post-war age through my analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This project addresses the circumstances surrounding the publication of Henry Francis Cary's The Early French Poets . It identifies three key elements that influenced the revival of the French Renaissance in Britain in the 1820s: the role of British Romantic periodicals and the London Magazine in fostering a discussion of Romanticism, the British Romantic conflict with French Classicism, and the Romantic appropriation of the past and the foreign. Cary's translations and criticism of the French Renaissance poets are analysed within the context of the London Magazine as part of the British argument against French Classicism.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the diverse ways in which practitioners' roles manifest to develop pre-schoolers’ agency through learning for well-being in inner-city early childhood centres (ICECCs). Findings served as the foundation for a training programme for practitioners to develop pre-schoolers’ agency in South Africa. Various factors that have an impact on the development of pre-schoolers’ agency and ways in which preschoolers express agency were further explored through using the tool of pedagogical documentation.
A conceptual framework was based on the Framework of Learning for Well-being, the Framework of Indigenous Well-being and the Reggio educational approach, which supports the notion that pre-schoolers can express themselves and influence their lifeworlds.
Myself, three practitioners and nine pre-schoolers participated in the study. I made use of participatory action research (PAR) to generate qualitative data. The various data collection tools used were: Conversations with pre-schoolers; semi-structured interviews with practitioners; focus group interviews between myself and the practitioners; observations of circle time discussions; practitioners' open-ended questionnaires and self-reflective notes on fake Facebook pages; notes in my selfreflective journal; and documentation of pre-schoolers' four art projects. A manual thematic analysis of the data was done and feedback obtained during final interviews.
Practitioners indicated the following insights into their practice during and upon completion of the research process: Discoveries of the capabilities of pre-schoolers to express agency; the need to ask more probing and open-ended questions; the importance of listening to pre-schoolers; an awareness of the diverse capabilities of preschoolers; and knowledge and understanding of the value of the tool of pedagogical documentation to make pre-schoolers' agency visible. Aspects that posed challenges were highlighted, such as lack of technology, time constraints, work load and concerns of parents over the academic performance of their children. Upon conclusion of the study the following recommendations were made: a new theme in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS); a module in Foundation Phase education on children's agency; a one-day workshop for practitioners to develop pre-schoolers'Psychology of Education

Full textAbstract:
This Master’s thesis explores Jewish masculinity and identity within early twentieth-century literature (1903-1925), using texts written by Jewish authors in late imperial Russia and the early Soviet Union. This was a period of change for Russia’s Jewish community, involving increased secularization and reform, massive pogroms such as in Kishinev in 1903, newfound leadership within the 1905 and 1917 Revolutions, and a rise in both Zionist and Revolutionary ideology. Subsequently, Jewish literary masculinity experienced a significant shift in characterization. Historically, a praised Jewish man had been portrayed as gentle, scholarly, and faithful, yet early twentieth century Jewish male literary figures were asked to be physically strong, hypermasculine, and secular.
This thesis first uses H.N. Bialik’s “In the City of Slaughter” (1903) and Sholem Aleichem’s “Tevye Goes to Palestine” (1914) to introduce a concept of “Jewish shame,” or a sentiment that historical Jewish masculinity was insufficient for a contemporary Russian world. It then creates two models for these new men to follow. The Assimilatory Jew, seen in Isaac Babel’s Red Cavalry cycle (published throughout the 1920s), held that perpetual outsider Jewish men should imitate the behaviour of a secular whole in order to be accepted. The Jewish Superman is depicted in Vladimir Jabotinsky’s “In Memory of Herzl” (1904) and Ilya Selvinsky’s “Bar Kokhba” (1920), and argues that masculine glory is entirely compatible with a proud Jewish identity, without an external standard needed. Judith Butler’s theories on gender performativity are used to analyze these diverse works, published in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Russian by authors of varying political alignments, to establish commonalities among these literary canons and plot a new spectrum of desired identities for Jewish men.Graduate

Full textAbstract:
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
