Abstract:

"American Languages: Indians, Ethnology, and the Empire for Liberty" is a study of knowledge and power, as it relates to Indian affairs, in the early republic. It details the interactions, exchanges, and networks through which linguistic and racial ideas were produced and it examines the effect of those ideas on Indian administration. First etymology, then philology, guided the study of human descent, migrations, and physical and mental traits, then called ethnology. It would answer questions of Indian origins and the possibility of Indian incorporation into the United States. It was crucial to white Americans seeking to define their polity and prove their cultivation by contributing to the republic of letters.;The study of Indian languages was both part of the ongoing ideological construction of the "empire for liberty" and it could serve practical ends for the extension and consolidation of imperial relations with the native groups within and on the borders of the United States. Administrators of Indian affairs simultaneously asserted continental mastery and implicitly admitted that it was yet incomplete. Language could be used to illustrate Indian "civilization" and Indian "savagery," the openness of the U.S. nation and its exclusivity, Indian affinities to "Anglo-Saxons" and their utter difference. Language was a race science frequently opposed to understandings of race defined through the body alone.;The War Department repeatedly sought linguistic information that it could use as the basis of policy, but philology was not a discourse of scientific control imposed upon helpless Indians. On the contrary, Indians lay at the heart of almost all that was known of Indian languages. This was especially true once European scientific interest shifted from the study isolated words to grammatical forms, which happened to coincide with debates over Indian removal in the United States. This meant that Indians were in an unprecedented position to shape the most authoritative scientific knowledge of "the Indian" at the moment that U.S. Indian policy was most uncertain. Native tutoring, often mediated through white missionaries, led Peter S. Du Ponceau to refute the notion, shared alike by apologists for removal (e.g. Lewis Cass) and European philosophers (e.g. Wilhelm von Humboldt) that the American languages indicated Indian "savagery.";Yet in attempting to prove that Native American languages were not "savage," Du Ponceau defined Indian grammatical forms as unchanging "plans of ideas" that all Indians, and only Indians, possessed. Henry R. Schoolcraft, Indian agent, protege of Cass, and husband to the Ojibwa-Irish Jane Johnston, extended this line of thought and defined a rigid "Indian mind" that refused "civilization." Such conclusions suggested that Indians possessed fixed mental traits. This conclusion largely agreed with those that ethnologists of the "American school" would advance years later, but those scientists argued that language could offer no information on physical race. The rapid (but brief) rise of the American school undermined the ethnological authority of the philological knowledge that Indians, such as David Brown (Cherokee) and Eleazer Williams (Mohawk) had produced in the preceding decades.;After decades of debate over Indian "plans of ideas," "patterns of thought," and whether Indian languages were a suitable medium for teaching the concepts of Christianity and republican government---debates intensified by the invention of the Cherokee alphabet and the understanding that Sequoyah, its author, intended it to insulate Cherokee society from white interference---the federal government began moving toward a policy of English-only instruction. Even after the strident opposition of the American school, language remained a key marker of civilization and nationhood.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the lives of a people, the Metis or the Michifs as they call themselves at St.Laurent, Manitoba. The Metis people were generally referred to as the off-springs of the Native Indian women and of the Europeans during the fur trade era. One hundred and thirty years ago, they enjoyed at Red River a successful economic way of life that was highly integrated to the land and to the environment. The Metis, at the time, were a proud race and called themselves the 'New Nation'. In 1870, after seeing Manitoba become a province within Confederation, their leader Louis Riel, was expelled from his homeland and the Metis gradually became, over the years, a socially and economically marginalized people. The purpose of this thesis is to document the process by which a particular Metis community at St.Laurent, Manitoba, is moving or has moved from being a self-contained community to a condition in which some aspects of their lives appear more generally 'Canadian' than specifically Metis. Due to the processes of modernization and secularization, many Metis find themselves today at a cultural crossroad. They face the choice of remaining Metis or becoming 'Canadian'. Data reveals that there are some social, cultural and economic implications in making such a decision. I will argue the point that it is possible to retain a strong and definitive sense of being Metis while at the same time becoming a Canadian and, presumably, less Metis than formerly was the case. Some findings of this research relate to the constituents of Metisness, both core and surface values. We will follow the process of change these cultural values have undergone within the life-span of the informants. Data shows that some Metis, under economic pressure, made their decision rather quickly as they joined the mainstream of society. Others continue to struggle to retain some aspects of Metisness as they see former cultural ways absorbed by the modern current. In many instances, Metis people are becoming 'Canadian' at the expense of being Metis, that many Metis have assimilated and have become 'Canadian'. As a result, Metis today are not what they were in the past. However, in the process, we encounter many Metis today, who are rediscovering their family origins, their historical traditions and cultural heritage. These people are, in their own ways, socially, culturally and politically reconstructing new expressions of Metisness in today's technological world.

Abstract:

The discovery of the Amazon River occurred in 1542. Francisco de Orellana was glory of the event and Gaspar de Carvajal wrote the Memory of the facts. The Amazon basin is understood as a place to exploit and this detail has not changed up to now. The tropical forest and societies living there for thousands of years have suffered, from the beginning, the negative impacts of civilized man. The Jesuit Samuel Fritz made the first reliable map of the Amazon basin and placed there the most important rivers and the ethnic groups that were residing in that vast territory. He also located the diverse aboriginal societies after the establishment of the Maynas’ Indian Reductions.

Lane, Jeremy Francis. "Pierre Bourdieu in context : ethnology and sociology in the era of French late capitalism." Thesis, University of Stirling, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/3417.

Abstract:

This thesis attempts a critical examination of the work of the French ethnologist and sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu. It reads his work in the context both of the intellectual traditions within which and against which Bourdieu has elaborated his sociological theories, and of the socio-historical developments in postwar France which those theories have sought to describe and explain. Following the development of Bourdieu's thought chronologically and thematically, the thesis argues that his most important works have been centrally concerned with the analysis of a series of social and cultural changes contingent on France's transition to an era of late capitalism, an era characterised by decolonisation, the advent of mass consumerism, unprecedented expansion in the university sector and the consequent challenge to the humanist culture traditionally dispensed there, the waning of a once dominant Left-wing political discourse and its replacement by discourses of managerialism, business efficiency, and neo-liberalism. Hence, rather than analysing key Bourdieusian concepts such as 'practice', 'habitus', 'strategy'. `cultural capital'. and `field' in purely theoretical terms, this thesis will understand such concepts as explanatory tools which emerged in response to a particular historical conjuncture, questioning the contribution they might make to our understanding of that conjuncture. The French intellectual field, with its poles of attraction and repulsion, forms an integral part of that historical conjuncture and this thesis will, therefore, also examine how Bourdieu's approach defined itself in relation to the key protagonists in that field, analysing his debt to figures such as Edmund Husserl, Maurice Merleau- Ponty, Gaston Bachelard, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Karl Marx, as well as his more agonistic relationship with figures such as Roland Barthes, Jacques Derrida, Frantz Fanon, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Whilst this thesis neither pretends to provide the definitive reading of Bourdieu's work nor claims that his work's significance is limited to the particular context in which it was produced, it does argue that a detailed understanding of that context forms the necessary precursor to any objective assessment of the work's strengths and weaknesses.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA
This mini-thesis explores the role of photography in the mainstream and dissident tradition of Afrikaner ethnology (volkekunde) from the time of its establishment at Stellenbosch University in the 1920s through to its development at Pretoria University in the 1950s to 1970s, to its period of decline in the era of dissidence from the 1970s to the 2010s. I use a biographical approach, tracing the career biographies and photographic portfolios of three volkekundiges: the German-trained government ethnologist Nicolaas J. van Warmelo; little known dissident volkekundige Frans Hendrik Boot (1939-2010) who founded the Volkekunde Department at the University of the Western Cape in 1972 and for whom fieldwork photography was an expression of his humanist digression from the racialised mainstream volkekunde tradition; and Cornelis Seakle “Kees” van der Waal (1949-) whose ‘Long Walk from Volkekunde to Anthropology’ has been textually demonstrated but also takes on visual expressions in his use of photography. My thesis seeks to demonstrate that photography and visuality was important in displaying the different traditions of volkekunde. The central argument in this thesis postulates that fieldwork photographs, read in relation to the ethnographers intellectual focus offers us insight into an individual’s orientation. Furthermore this thesis explores the degree of a photographers technicality and aesthetics skill

Abstract:

This dissertation attempts to understand the formationand transmission of images of non-European societies duringthe Renaissance from a case-study. An introductory chapterexplains travel literature as a genre, and establishes itsgeneral importance for the early development of the humansciences in the European cultural tradition, in particularthe empirical assumption that dominates the production ofpractically-oriented narratives based on the creative useof everyday language. The argument then goes on to focuson various descriptions of the South Indian kingdom ofVijayanagara written in the fifteenth and sixteenthcenturies by foreign observers. This body of literature isstudied thoroughly and in chronological order, withreference to the education and interests of the travellersand to the quality-of. their Indian experiences. Thus. theargument compares medieval with sixteenth-century travelnarratives, and texts produced within a Muslim and a LatinChristian traditions. Finally, it attempts to evaluate theuse travellers made of their rhetorical possibilities froma modern understanding of the complexity of the indigenouscultural tradition and political system. Continuousreference to the travel literature of the late Middle Agesand the Renaissance connects this original case-study withthe contemporary process of formation of ethnologicallanguages in Europe. The conclusion argues for theunderstanding of travel literature as a possible form ofcultural translation. It also defines the fundamentalassumptions of Renaissance ethnology as the understandingof human diversity in natural and historical terms, albeitin the limited form of descriptions of social behaviourwhich avoided the open discussion of religious beliefs.

Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Industrial Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009
Demand Side Management (DSM) within a South African context requires a transdisciplinary approach to comprehend electricity consumption. Current research suggests a technical determinism, whereby design teams fail to acknowledged social factors and cultural influences when conceptualising DSM artefacts. The result of which, is that artefacts fail to be adopted by the market, and consumer behaviour and electricity consumption remains unchanged. The thesis aims to demonstrate the hypothesis, that semiotics and ethnology may affect sustainable residential electricity management in South Africa. The ubiquitous literature on electricity management is administered by means of the theoretical lens, Sociotechnical Theory. Mixed method instrument obtain fieldwork data from three of the eleven official South African languages: Afrikaans, English and IsiXhosa.

Abstract:

This study is about dispute settlement in the Comoé Province, Burkina Faso. It focuses on ways in which four principal categories of actors-Karaboro agriculturalists, Fulbe agro-pastoralists, Tiefo Masters of the Earth, and local government officials-handle disputes related to landed resources. The study is based on four years of multi-sited fieldwork between 1988 and 1996, as well as studies of literature and archival material. To understand processes of peace and justice in dispute settlement, the study provides detailed accounts of internal socio-political and cultural dynamics within and between the main groups of actors as well as an ethnography of two cases of violent conflict. The main argument is that dispute settlement prevails in a social field of relations and rights. It is, on the one hand, a matter of mobilising key social relations in order to promote peace, to forgive and make future co-habitation possible. Host-stranger relations as well as those of neighbourhood and friendship are, for example, put to the fore. On the other hand, it is also a matter of claiming rights and attend to what different actors perceive as justice. Rights are articulated in different organisational structures such as the Land and Tenure Reorganisation, the Trade Union of Graziers and the Hunting Organisation. While external actors claim rights in public discourse, in practice they are likely to mobilise relations to 'arrange an affair'. Local actors promote ideologically the maintenance of social relations (for peace and prosperity) in dispute settlement, but look for their rights in practice. Disputes are thus located between peace and justice, but in the shadow of violent conflict. The study concludes that dispute settlement between Karaboro agriculturalists and Fulbe agro-pastoralists should not only be understood as a political run by different actors to gain in disputes, but needs to be situated within the domain of what is regarded as morally and socially 'acceptable' to public opinion beyond ethnic and socio-political boundaries.

Abstract:

Institutional development is a process that can be analyzed from the bibliometrics of its contingent generation of documentation in the same manner that can be analyzed by historical methods. As institutions grow in resources, the absolute volume of documentation produced rises. In the context of the Soviet Southern Tier, the Russian language documentation bibliometrics for the eight republics image their relative level of institutional development. Comparing the relative levels of documentation to socio-economic variables, the degree to which the documentation is a local product, or a product of All-Union intervention can be determined. Hence, the degree to which institutional development is dependent or autonomous can be gauged for each republic. The analysis of these relationships between the degree to which documentation production is a dependent process, and the relative level of documentation generation, provides an empirical basis for the ranking of regional institutional development. This ranking establishes the framework for a historical description of the relative position of the nationalities of the Southern Tier. This quantitative perspective on Soviet nationality policy parallels the historical process by which the nationalities have been integrated into the Soviet system. The two nationalities most constrained by the nationality policies are the Armenians, with their nationalism and irredentism based on well developed local institutions, and the Uzbeks, with their large population base and historical leadership role in Central Asia. The role of intensively Soviet developed nationalities (Turkmen, Kirghiz, and Karakalpak) in the multi-ethnic system is considered in terms of their moderating the potential for hegemony by the largest nationalities. Azerbaijan SSR emerges as the regional center of a system of measures taken to promote stability and to minimize the prospects of autonomous ethnic hegemony in the Soviet Southern Tier.

Abstract:

This study examines the narrative of newly arrived immigrants and how they express their experiences in Sweden with different expectations on them and their narrative. It focuses on individual stories told in interviews with five individuals who have come to Sweden from war-torn countries in the last three years. The narratives are primarily analyzed through Erving Goffman’s theories on self- presentation and Ulf Palmenfelt’s theories on how individuals are positioning themselves through their narratives. The study discusses the expectations from the person’s family, from the interviewer and the Swedish society. It shows that the narration is shifting depending on the audience. This paper investigates how newly arrived immigrants relate their narratives to position themselves based on the understanding of them as immigrants in a Swedish context. When telling about their experience to their families the narrative is changing, and it is primarily important for them to communicate their well-being in the new country. I have a big part in production of the empirical material, since I function as someone ’in-between’. I am a part of the Swedish community but also someone that the informants are deputing their story to. The narrative conveyed to me is both taking the Swedish audience into account, but also explaining how they feel when people are seeing them as immigrants.

Abstract:

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken betydelse etniska föreningar i Norra Botkyrka har och vilka funktioner de bör fylla, enligt deras representanter. Bakgrunden är att svenskt föreningsliv och folkrörelser är bland de starkaste i världen och dess nytta för demokratin ofta lyfts fram av offentliga sektorn. Att de ska kunna stärka demokratin bygger dock på att de kan agera självständigt och få utrymme att arbeta utifrån sina egna principer. Därför är det centralt att undersöka vad dessa civilsamhällesorganisationer själva vill och vad företrädare för dem uppfattar vara deras roll och funktion. Botkyrka och dess föreningsliv tjänar som exempel på detta. För att undersöka denna betydelse har jag gått igenom ett antal tidigare forskningsrapporter kring dels etniska föreningar och dels det civila samhället i stort och beskrivit de kategoriseringar som använts i dessa rapporter. Jag har också genomfört ett 40-tal intervjuer med aktiva i etniska föreningar, tjänstemän och politiker. Resultatet är att företrädarna anser att föreningarna har en väldigt central betydelse för både lokalsamhället och för de enskilda medlemmarna inom en rad områden. Som servicegivare; att guida och tolka åt sina medlemmar och att på andra sätt ge dem bättre möjligheter att åtnjuta sina rättigheter, för att stärka demokratin; som röstbärare, stärkare av ett politiskt självförtroende och att ge en positiv bild av den etniska gruppen generellt och slutligen som motvikt till det omgivande samhället; att erbjuda en alternativ identitet och alternativ till vissa samhälls- och familjestrukturer. Mina slutsatser är att de kategorier som skapats specifikt för etniska föreningar har varit mindre användbara för att tolka min empiri än mer generella kategoriseringar för det civila samhället i stort. Filip Wijkströms grundläggande kategorisering i röst och service som jag använt mig av har fungerat väl, men har haft vissa brister. För det första har ingen förening passat in i den ena av dessa kategorier, istället har samtliga mina informanter menat att deras förening bör och har bägge dessa funktioner. Lisa Kings första tre kategorier bidra till social integration, ekonomisk betydelse och produktion av samhällsservice å ena sidan och fjärde kategori politisk eller demokratisk roll å andra sidan har varit värdefulla för att bryta ner Wijkströms kategorier och förklara dessa funktioner närmare. Kings femte kategori motvikt var så pass viktig för mina informanter och samtidigt skild från röst och service att den fick utgöra en egen i sorteringen av min empiri. Även Roberto Scaramuzzinos beskrivning av den offentliga sektorns normativa syn på etniska föreningar som ideella konsulter och producenter av välfärd återfinns i mitt material, där mina informanter protesterar mot dessa förväntningar. Liksom Robert Putnam och Markku T Hyyppäs teorier om socialt kapital som funktion. Föreningsföreträdarna anser att deras föreningar står för detta sociala kapital och att det är en viktig mekanism för flera av de nyttor som företrädarna anser att föreningarna ger och bör ge till medlemmarna och samhället i stort.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen syftar till att uppmärksamma hur mening upprättas inom den sociala organiseringen av krogen Bar Abrovinsch. Utifrån intervjuer med de två krögare som tillsammans äger och driver Bar Abrovinsch samt observationer från samma krog, undersöks hur diskursiva praktiker formas då värden knutna till krogens verksamhet aktualiseras. För att göra detta tar studien hjälp av Laclau & Mouffe´s diskursteoretiska begreppsapparat genom en uttolkning av Winther Jørgensen & Phillips (2000). Undersökningen fokuseras kring de attityder och praktiker som artikuleras i intervjusvar med de två krögarna samt i krogens materiella estetik utifrån observationer.

I denna uppsats undersöks hur plats görs och hur platskänsla uppstår i stockholmsförorten Årsta. Materialet består av promenadintervjuer med sex årstabor. Promenadintervjun som metod är viktig för undersökningen, då den ger en ny typ av kunskap om relationen mellan människa och plats. Materialet har sedan analyserats med hjälp av Actor-network theory, samt teorier om plats och platsidentitet. Undersökningen visar hur en rad aktörer så som platsens avgränsade- men samtidigt centrala läge, utformningen av platsen och en relativt homogen befolkning får effekten att informanterna upplever Årsta som en småstad i staden.
