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 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:

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:

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:

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.

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.

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.
