Abstract:

La Tesi di Laurea qui descritta, ha come oggetto l’Area Archeologica dei Fori Imperiali di Roma. Il progetto prevede un atteggiamento che valorizzi la quota archeologica e che la metta in contatto con la città contemporanea, che le si sviluppa attorno. Due città che appartengono a tempi differenti, ma in stretto contatto. Una relazione che vede vittoriosa la città contemporanea, ma che sottomette la città archeologica dei Fori Imperiali. L’intervento di Tesi, si concentra nel riportare un equilibrio tra le unità stratigrafiche, in cui il disegno della pianta dei Fori riconquista forza e leggibilità. La Via dei Fori Imperiali si trasforma in dispositivo museale, al servizio della fruizione dell’area imperiale. Il nuovo volume si plasma in base alla forza generatrice delle archeologie e ne regola i percorsi museografici. Un progetto che prevede la ridefinizione dei luoghi dei Fori e la loro apertura all'esperienza diretta dei fruitori, che attualmente non è prevista. Lo scopo è quello di progettare per il visitatore una passeggiata archeologica, il più consapevole possibile.

Abstract:

(i): The first part of this thesis questions the concept of ‘minority’, and the way it has been used to analyze French imperial policy in Syria (‘divide and rule’). Chapter 1 traces the concept’s emergence, showing that it is not self-evidently valid but rather depends on a set of wider social and political circumstances related to the existence of modern nation-states: the minorities of modern Syria cannot be mapped directly back onto the Ottoman millets or religious communities. Chapter 2 examines the term’s application in Syria between the wars: French imperial policy emphasised divisions in Syrian society, but the term ‘minority’ was only systematically attached to these divisions from the 1930s. The concept’s spread in Syria reflects its growing importance in international public discourse worldwide, as the nation-state became the standard state form after World War One. The second part of the thesis uses case studies of particular themes to show how the emergence of minorities illuminates processes of state-formation that have shaped the modern world. Chapters 3 and 4, on the question of ‘separatism’ and the definition of modern Syria’s northern border, examine the spread of effective state authority across a ‘national’ territory. This process bound culturally-divergent populations more tightly into the fabric of a centrally-controlled state, thereby constituting them as ‘minorities’. Chapter 5 examines the debate about a Franco-Syrian treaty leading to Syrian independence, showing that this made the recently-established body of international law on ‘minorities’ in newly-independent states applicable to Syria: the term only became widespread in Syria at this time. Chapter 6 looks at French efforts to reform personal status law in the later 1930s, when the restructuring, on religious lines, of the institutional relationship between the Syrian state and its population created a new uniformity within communities at the national level (one condition for their developing the sense of being ‘minorities’). It also sparked opposition from groups now claiming to represent the ‘majority’. Other Syrians, though, understood their society in different terms.

Abstract:

History
Ph.D.
This dissertation investigates the reasons behind combined military and naval offensive expeditions that Great Britain conducted outside of Europe during the Great War. It argues that they were not unnecessary adjuncts to the war in Europe, but they fulfilled an important strategic purpose by protecting British trade where it was most vulnerable. Trade was not a luxury for the British; it was essential for maintaining the island nation's way of life, a vital interest and a matter of national survival. Great Britain required freedom of the seas in order to maintain its global trade. A general war in Europe threatened Great Britain's economic independence with the potential of losing its continental trading partners. The German High Seas Fleet constituted a serious threat that also placed the British coast at grave risk forcing the Royal Navy to concentrate in home waters. This dissertation argues that the several combined military and naval operations against overseas territories constituted parts of an overarching strategy designed to facilitate the Royal Navy's gaining command of the seas. Using documents from the Cabinet, the Foreign and Colonial Offices, the War Office, and the Admiralty, plus personal correspondence and papers of high-ranking government officials, this dissertation demonstrates that the Offensive Sub-committee of the Committee of Imperial Defense drafted the campaign plan. Subsequently, the plan received Cabinet approval, and then the Foreign Office, the Admiralty, and the Colonial Office coordinated with allies and colonies to execute the operations necessary to prosecute the campaign. In Mesopotamia, overseas expeditions directed against the Ottoman Empire protected communications with India and British oil concessions in Persia. The combined operations against German territories exterminated the logistics and intelligence hubs that supported Germany's commerce raiders thereby protecting Britain's world-wide trade and its overseas possessions.

Abstract:

Le projet urbanistique et architectural lié à la construction du forum de Trajan à Rome (106 et 113 ap. J.-C) s’inscrit dans la tradition de ceux qui l’ont précédé. Pourtant ses dimensions et les travaux colossaux nécessaires à son établissement en font un projet particulièrement exceptionnel qui a entraîné la transformation totale de l’ensemble de la zone située entre les collines du Capitole et du Quirinal. Cette étude porte sur les modalités de ce réaménagement et ses conséquences non seulement sur la zone du forum, mais également sur l’ensemble du tissu urbain de la ville. Il s’agit d’analyser ce grand programme architectural en soulignant, comment, au-delà de la réalisation de la place publique, a été conçu, autour du complexe impérial, tout un ensemble urbanistique cohérent et surtout entièrement structuré par un nouveau système de circulation complexe. Le contexte urbain avant et après la réalisation du forum sont successivement étudiés et une attention particulière est accordée aux solutions architecturales adoptées afin d’intégrer les nouvelles constructions dans le tissu urbain préexistant. L’objectif est de reconstruire chronologiquement toute l’organisation urbanistique de la zone et de déterminer dans quelle mesure la construction du forum de Trajan a conditionnée le développement de l’Urbs dans son ensemble
The urban and architectural project related to the construction of the Trajan Forum in Rome (106-113 AD) joins the tradition of its predecessors. However, its dimensions and the colossal work needed for its creation make it a one-of-a-kind project, which caused the transformation of the whole area between the Campidoglio and Quirinale hills. This study focuses on the methods of this transformation and on its impact on the proper Forum area, and on the rest of the city’s urban texture. It is an analysis of this big architectural project, beyond the public square, with particular attention to the collection of architectural solutions and to the complicated system of paths created around the imperial complex. The urban context was analysed in parallel, before and after the completion of the Forum, in order to understand better the architectural solutions adopted, and to integrate the new buildings in the pre-existing urban context. The objective is to chronologically reconstruct the whole urban setup of the area, and to determine to which extent the construction of the Trajan Forum conditioned the development of this part of the empire-period Urbs

Full text

Abstract:

The eighteenth century saw the Ottoman capital Istanbul undergo some of its most significant physical changes. Restored as the seat of government in 1703 after the court had spent fifty years in Edirne, the city became the site of lavish architectural patronage intended to reinscribe the sultans' presence. This campaign culminated in the years 1740-1800 with two distinct but related developments: the revival of the imperial mosque as a building type, and the creation of a new architectural style--the so-called Ottoman Baroque--informed by Western models. Though these shifts have typically been viewed within a well-established decline paradigm branding the material decadent and derivative, this study demonstrates that the eighteenth-century mosques were powerful symbols of sultanic authority designed to reassert and redefine the empire's standing on a changing world stage.

Abstract:

China is experiencing the unprecedentedly rapid urbanization hence how to build a sustainable city with Chinese featuresbecomes a common challenge for city planners and researchers in the field of sustainability. Beijing has been the imperialcapital of China for more than eight hundred years and is deeply embedded within ancient Chinese urban planning theoriesand thoughts; for this reason it is chosen as the subject of this study. The history of Beijing as an imperial city from theYuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty (1267-1912) is reviewed under the framework PEBOSCA, an assessment framework ofsustainable community development which derives from UN HABITAT Agenda. The state of the seven resources ofsustainability is outlined to demonstrate the sustainability of Beijing’s imperial city planning history. Following this,sustainability was assessed at micro- and macro-levels: first the quadrangle as the basic unit of the city is documented andassessed with the Green Building Assessment Standard of China and the LEED for Homes Ranking system in a qualitativeapproach; then the city as a whole was analyzed to assess the interrelationships between the ancient Chinese urban theory –the Fengshui Theory – and urban ecology to understand its implications for the sustainable city planning.The study shows that although sustainable development is becoming a global issue, the key to the challenges faced is local.Integrated with modern technologies, the quadrangle design and the Fengshui Theory will inspire future sustainablecommunity planning and sustainable development.

Full text

Abstract:

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century was a turbulent period in East Asia. Aggressive imperial powers challenged the traditional regional order, changing the relationships between the nations in the region and ushering in a period of imperialism and intense international rivalry. The subject of this study is Korean neutralisation attempts in this period, initiated by Koreans as well as by international actors, in an effort to fully understand how Korea endeavoured to preserve its sovereignty and how major powers pursued their interests in the Far East. Arguing that previous scholarship has dealt with Korean neutralisation in a too piecemeal fashion, this study utilises previously overlooked diplomatic documents, examines influencing factors previously disregarded, and covers a longer time period (1882-1907) than prior scholarship to provide a comprehensive and multilateral analysis of Korean neutralisation. Whereas previous scholarship has downplayed the historical significance of these attempts, based on such comprehensive analysis, this study argues that Korean neutralisation was possible on at least one discrete occasion. To facilitate a better understanding of the factors that influenced these neutralisation attempts, the study introduces examples of successful neutralisation in Europe and compares these with the Korean case. The structure of the study is chronological, describing attempts within the context of domestic and regional historical developments, focusing on the time periods surrounding major domestic and international events such as the Imo Mutiny, 1882, the Gapsin Coup, 1884, the British occupation of Port Hamilton (Geomundo), 1885-87, the Sino-Japanese War, 1894-95, and the Russo-Japanese War, 1904-1905. Although comparisons with successful European cases show that a lack of essential requirements made all Korean neutralisation attempts discussed in this study infeasible, this study re-evaluates their historical significance and illustrates that neutralisation can only be realised through the candidate's own will and strength combined with international respect and support.

Full text

Abstract:

Evaluations of the stance of 1 Peter toward the Roman Empire have for the most part concluded that its author adopted a submissive or conformist posture toward imperial authority and influence. Recently, however, David Horrell and Travis Williams have argued that the letter engages in a subtle, calculated (“polite”) form of resistance to Rome that has often gone undetected. Nevertheless, discussion of the matter has remained largely focused on the letter’s stance toward specific Roman institutions, such as the emperor, household structures, and the imperial cults. Taking the conversation beyond these confines, the present work examines 1 Peter’s critique of the Empire from a wider angle, looking instead to the letter’s ideology or worldview. Using James Scott’s work to think about ideological resistance against domination, I consider how the imperial cults of Anatolia and 1 Peter offered distinct constructions of time and space—that is, how they envisioned reality differently. Insofar as these differences led to divergent ways of conceiving the social order, they acquired political valences and generated potential for conflict. 1 Peter, I argue, confronted Rome on a cosmic scale with its alternative construal of time and space. For each of the axes of time and space, I first investigate how it was constructed in cultic veneration of the emperor, and then read 1 Peter comparatively in light of the findings. Although both sides employed similar strategies in conceptualizing time and space, they parted ways on fundamental points. We have evidence that the Petrine author consciously, if cautiously, interrogated the imperial imagination at its most foundational levels, and set forth in its place a theocentric, Christological understanding of the world.

Full text

Abstract:

Studying the last century and a half of Ukrainian linguistic history reveals relentless attempts to stifle the development of Ukrainian as well as to suppress translation activities under both the tsarist and Soviet regimes. Exploring the morphological evolution of the Ukrainian language discloses evidence of terminological inconsistencies due to the lexical russification of Ukrainian during the Soviet regime, leading to inconsistencies between the standard of Ukrainian used in the Soviet Union versus that used in the diaspora. Additional examination of Ukrainian linguistic history discloses political motives for banning translations, refusing the right to translate, censoring translations, and punishing translators who rejected the mandatory Soviet literary norm of Socialist Realism. In order to further understand the implications of translation practices in the Ukrainian SSR, it is important to examine the language policies, political agendas and translation practices prior to and throughout the Soviet regime. This thesis explores and analyses the russification of Ukrainian through translation policies designed to fulfil Soviet political and ideological agendas. It compares power differentials between Russian and Ukrainian, as well as between Russian and other minority languages in translation, and examines the resulting terminological inconsistencies. It shows unequivocally how translation, transliteration, and censorship were used to foster linguicide and assimilate Ukrainian minorities, from the late tsarist era to the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Shephard, Emily Laura Cairns. "Strategies for efficient foraging in a deep-diving bird, the imperial shag (Phalacrocorax atriceps)." Thesis, Swansea University, 2009. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42298.

Full text

Abstract:

Predators are frequently involved in an arms race with their prey, with improved abilities on one side demanding compensatory improvements on the other. Those that breathe air but forage underwater are faced with the additional challenge of capturing prey in a medium where their own capacity to remain is limited. This thesis examines some of the strategies used by my model organism, the imperial shag (Phalacrocorax atriceps) to enhance its foraging efficiency. I did this by using recent developments in animal-attached technology to measure the patterns and costs of bird behaviour during foraging at a fine-scale. Time appeared to be of the essence for these birds, as their movements were consistent with a strategy to maximise the rate of energy gain. Male and female shags were found to forage at depths where their foraging efficiency was maximised, which manifested itself in the horizontal segregation of male and female foraging areas. Analysis of the mechanical power used underwater suggested that these birds may be limited in the burst speeds they can produce at shallow depths; as the greater the power required to counteract their buoyancy the less is available for prey pursuit. Finally, analysis of the fine-scale tortuosity in the foraging movements of imperial shags revealed that the distribution of their prey was not aggregated at the scales over which they forage. Nevertheless, tortuosity was a good indicator of prey ingestion rates and revealed that shags adjusted their movements to recent prey encounter within both prey-searching and resting phases. This work indicates that imperial shags have an extensive armoury of strategies by which they may increase their efficiency as underwater predators, and methods used and refined in this thesis mean that users are now well-equipped to investigate them.

Bolisay, Ronald. "Imperial hybrids in the age of colonialism : Maintaining dominance over and negotiating desire for the native." FIU Digital Commons, 1998. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1722.

Full text

Abstract:

Hybridity is typically formulated in post-colonial theory as a means of resistance, subversion, or liberatory strategy in the hands of the present-day post-colonial subject or theorist. This project, however, demonstrates hybridity as a means of securing dominance and maintaining control when wielded by the imperialist in Cooper's Last of the Mohicans (1826), Kipling's Kim (1901), and Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes (1914). The strategic deployment of hybridity in these texts also serves as an opportunity to negotiate the ambivalence and desire for the native that slips out of that hybrid space-- not necessarily sexual desire that flows between two polarized bodies, but rather, triangulated through other mediating terms such as class, nationality or manliness. Across these novels, the location of the native shifts, until it settles within the white body itself in Tarzan. Desire for the native, then, is returned to the white body in a narcissistic circle of self-glorification.

Full text

Abstract:

In his groundbreaking work of postcolonial theory, Orientalism, Edward Said puts forth the idea that imperial Europe asserted an identity by constructing the character of its colonized subjects. Said writes that his book tries to “show that European culture gained in strength and identity by setting itself off against the Orient as a sort of surrogate and even underground self” (3). The object of this thesis is a related project, for it too is a search for imperial Britain’s surrogate or underground self. Yet rather than positioning this search within the British colonies, this thesis takes as its context a land and people that were at once more intimate and more alien: the races and landscapes of Fairyland. This Thesis attempts to situate the fairy folklore and literature from the Victorian era within the context of greater social and political ideologies of the age, specifically those pertaining to national identity, imperial power and race. In doing so it will analyze Charles Kingsley’s Water-Babies, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Kenneth Grahame’s The Golden Age, George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden concluding that the British self proposed by these works was an uncomfortable manifestation, and haunted by the anxieties and discontinuities that arose as imperial Britain attempted to navigate an identity within Victorian conceptions of race and power.

This paper illustrates a study about Food Sovereignty analyzing the concrete experiences of the settlement on June 8 in the town of Laranjeiras do Sul, South Centre of Paraná State. This research brings a historical about the struggle for land in Brazil, played by poor peasants without land and with small lands. The choice of the method of historical and dialectical materialism allowed a deeper analysis of the Food Sovereignty in Brazil. Within a class design our country has historically been dominated and subjugated by the international division of labor, dictated by imperialist countries and submitted to the economy of these. Opposed to this logic and this productive agricultural model, producing for domestic consumption it is imperative for the attainment of food sovereignty. In this perspective we maintain that the effectiveness of any policy aimed at the Food sovereignty is only possible to break with the current agrarian export economic model, to which the country is undergoing. It is considered that it is in this question lies the perspective of food sovereignty, which can't be conceived in practical terms, out of a great project of social transformation. therefore the struggle to end the dominant landholder system in our country, the only way to ensure food sovereignty, shall necessarily be a struggle for economic and political sovereignty, breaking with the country's subjugation to the world order determined by world economic powers. Empirical research, at Settlement June 8, revealed that the confrontation, resistance and performance of farmers linked to the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) in the struggle to guarantee food sovereignty, has shown several advances. Although only the access to land by peasants is not the guarantee of food sovereignty is a basic criterion to ensure the material condition of the production of food for people living and working in the field, making it possible to create the conditions of autonomy in food production, as own consumption of communities without becoming prisoners of the market controlled by direct food trade monopolies for consumers. It is therefore to develop under the scientific theory of classism - Marxism - the forms of organization and peasant struggles in the destruction of the landlord system associated with the destruction of capitalism
Este trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre Soberania Alimentar analisando as experiências concretas vivenciadas no Assentamento 8 de Junho, na cidade de Laranjeiras do Sul, Centro-Sul do Paraná. Foi realizado um resgate histórico sobre a luta pela terra no Brasil, protagonizado pelo campesinato pobre sem terra e com pouca terra. A opção pelo método do materialismo histórico e dialético possibilitou uma análise mais profunda da Soberania Alimentar no Brasil. Dentro de uma concepção classista nosso país tem sido historicamente dominado e subjugado pela divisão internacional do trabalho, ditada pelos países imperialistas e submetido à economia destes. Contrapondo a essa lógica e a esse modelo agrário produtivo, produzir para o consumo interno é imperativo para a realização da Soberania Alimentar. Nessa perspectiva sustentamos que a efetivação de qualquer política que vise à soberania somente será possível com o rompimento com o modelo econômico agrário-exportador, ao qual o país está submetido. Considera-se que é nesta questão que reside a perspectiva da Soberania Alimentar, a qual não pode ser concebida, em termos práticos, fora de um grande projeto de transformação social. Sendo assim a luta para acabar com o sistema latifundiário dominante em nosso país, única maneira de garantir a soberania alimentar, passa a ser necessariamente uma luta por soberania econômica e política, rompendo com a subjugação do país à ordem mundial determinada pelas potências econômicas mundiais. A pesquisa empírica, no Assentamento 8 de junho, revelou que o enfrentamento, a resistência e atuação dos camponeses ligados ao Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) na luta por garantia de Soberania Alimentar, tem mostrado vários avanços. Embora, somente o acesso à terra pelos camponeses não seja a garantia da Soberania Alimentar, é critério básico para assegurar a condição material da produção de alimentos por quem vive e trabalha no campo, possibilitando criar as condições de autonomia na produção alimentar, como autoconsumo das comunidades, sem que se tornem prisioneiras do mercado, controlado pelos monopólios do comércio de alimentos diretos para o consumidor. Trata-se, portanto, de se desenvolver sob a teoria científica do classismo marxismo as formas de organização e lutas do campesinato na destruição do sistema latifundiário associada com a destruição do capitalismo

Abstract:

Using part of James Cook’s first voyage of discovery in which he explored the Australian coast, and Joseph Banks’s 1772 voyage to Iceland as case studies, this thesis argues that late eighteenth-century travelers used scientific voyages to present audiences at home with a new understanding and scientific language in which to interpret foreign places and peoples. As a result, scientific travelers were directly influential not only in the creation of new forms of knowledge and intellectual frameworks, but they helped direct the shape and formation of the Empire. The thesis explores the interplay between institutional influence and individual agency in both journeys. As a result, it will argue that the scientific voyages that were most influential in the imperial process were those directed and funded by the state.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the colonial organisation of leprosy care in Samoa from 1890 to 1922. It begins with the examination of the nineteenth century “Three Power” governments of Germany, United States of America and Great Britain over Samoa, and moves on to a study of German rule beginning in 1900 and New Zealand administration from 1914. It analyses colonial politics alongside the medical changes and exchanges of ideas about race, health and disease which dominated the direction of leprosy care in Samoa. During these thirty two years of European influence and control over Samoan affairs, the leprosy sufferer became confined and restricted, to some extent a result of international pressure for the segregation of leprosy sufferers, and a consequence of a public and medical push for isolation and confinement. Beginning in the German period, leprosy care involved medical and missionary alliances, evidence of a shift in the perception of leprosy as a shared responsibility, rather than exclusively a state one. This thesis examines the isolation policies carried out through the network of authorities involved in the organisation of leprosy care. It analyses the medical understanding of leprosy and the leprosy sufferer and traces the impact of these ideas on the leprosy policies implemented in Samoa, particularly the development and establishment of the first leprosy station in the village of Falefa which was later moved to the island of Nu’utele. The iii story of leprosy care in Samoa occurred at a time of decreasing Samoan authority, an indication of not only a disempowered leprosy sufferer but also of a largely disempowered Samoan people.

The War of the Triple Alliance against Paraguay (1864-70) was one of the largest armed conflict in southern America and represented the culmination of discussions between the countries involved - Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay against the Republic of Paraguay, about the borders and navigability on the river Plate estuary. During the war, the Army and the Imperial Navy were a mirror of slave society and landholding of the 19th century, especially when we look at crimes sentenced by the War Council; military offenses punished in the act; the sentences handed down by military courts, and especially the corporal punishment applied to squares, highlighting the pranchadas with sword and board for the lashes; treatment of official troops, in many cases, the behavior resembled the slave with its slave workers. The meaning of crimes shows that the squares of these weapons have not crossed his arms in front of abuse and arbitrariness dispensed by the commanders and the officers to subordinates. The vast majority of crimes and punishments applied to squares show that the environment in the Army and Navy was violent and tense and this climate of instability increased with the difficulties of the war, such as hunger and disease.

Durante a Guerra, o Ex?rcito e a Armada imperiais foram um espelho da sociedade escravista e latifundi?ria do s?culo 19, sobretudo ao analisarmos os crimes sentenciados pelo Conselho de Guerra; as transgress?es militares punidas no ato; as senten?as proferidas pela justi?a militar e, sobretudo pelos castigos corporais aplicados aos pra?as, com destaque para as pranchadas com espada de prancha e para as chibatadas; o tratamento dos oficiais as tropas, em muitos casos, lembravam o comportamento dos escravistas com os seus trabalhadores escravizados. O significado dos crimes demonstra que os pra?as dessas armas n?o cruzaram os bra?os diante dos maus tratos e da arbitrariedade dispensados peIos comandantes e pela oficialidade aos subalternos. A grande maioria dos crimes e castigos aplicados aos pra?as comprovam que o ambiente no Ex?rcito e na Marinha era violento e tenso e esse clima de instabilidade aumentava com as dificuldades da guerra, como a fome e as enfermidade.

Abstract:

This thesis relies on the works of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Seyla Benhabib in the field of Postcolonialism. Guided by their theoretical insights it is aiming at providing an understanding of how postcolonial structures within the International Humanitarian Aid discourse takes form and discuss strategies for communication that would be deemed justified in this context. Through a field research in Lebanon, focusing on the Lebanese Red Cross and their methods used for communication, it provides a scrutiny of the theoretical insights of Spivak and Benhabib, in order to see how plausible they are when discussing the way Global Humanitarian Organizations operate in todays’ world. In the conclusive discussion, the study exposes the importance for these organizations to let go of their essentialist way of looking at the subaltern, continuously depriving her of her subject position. In a context of asymmetrical power relations, there is a need for these organizations to ”learn to learn from below”. The people of the Western world need to unlearn Western privilege to enable themselves to relate to people and communities outside of their own paradigm and thus create presuppositions for an ethical communication.

Abstract:

This dissertation argues that during the nineteenth century, the journey to London revealed a world undergoing systemic change as industrialisation steadily eroded the traditional rhythms of the countryside in favour of urban modernity; indeed, London is regarded as a synecdoche for the forces shaping the wider world. This work uses tourist narratives to London as investigative tools to examine the ways in which individuals comprehend the modern changes occurring around them, as represented by the British capital, and does so in a comparative fashion, investigating the British Empire, the United States, Britain itself, and continental Europe. In so doing, it addresses two questions: first, whether one’s acceptance or rejection of modernity was predicated upon specific social and national preconditions; and second, whether the idea of nineteenth-century modernity was itself a non-universal construction dependent upon a variety of socio-cultural outlooks. The evidence for this study is drawn from the published and unpublished narratives of tourists from the four different contexts mentioned above, and divided into four chapters to focus upon each group. This study is grounded in a theoretical context which establishes a correlation between the methods used to interpret the city’s spaces, and the methods used to interpret modernity more generally. I conclude that the changes occurring from the interaction between global modernity and local culture were regarded with ambivalence and uncertainty, judgments influenced by London’s impact on the visitors mentioned above. The city gives a physical dimension to the travellers’ imagined fears, benefits, or concerns over future progress. Victorian London is thus one focus for a transformation affecting large segments of the nineteenth-century world, illustrating that modern industrial changes were ultimately perceived as being ambiguous and ambivalent forces.

Full text

Abstract:

The Grand Khitan Empire (AD 907-1125) was created by expanding its territory through military conquest and diplomatic treaty across parts of Asia. By deliberate political strategies of cultural construction and the materialization of ethnic ideology, Khitan leaders maintained a multi-ethnic social fabric, consolidated their imperial power, made the ethnic Khitan distinct with the rise of their state, and ultimately proclaimed a hegemony in Northeast Asia. This thesis presents an analysis of 48 tombs categorized into four groups based on the social rank, ethnicity and source of power of the tomb occupants, who include the Khitan emperor, Khitan hereditary aristocracy, non-Khitan hereditary aristocracy and non-hereditary elites. The evolution and chronological patterns of each tomb category are examined and compared to identify the sources of power that underlie ethnic identity and supports the suggestion that imperial acts were manipulated for the consolidation of power. The thesis thus questions the validity of traditional assumptions about ethnic markers - specifically that there was no one-to-one straightforward relation between material culture and ethnicity. The material cultural boundary can be seen as the consequence of social interaction. In addition, it is also clear that the alteration of imperial titles was a political act. Imperial titles of 'Khitan', 'Grand Khitan', 'Khitan State' and 'Qara Khitan' accentuate the governing body of ethnic Khitan. In contrast, the titles 'Liao' or 'Great Liao' were used to symbolize a nation of all the people with the intent of creating a more unified community in the understatement of ethnic differentiation. Overall, archaeological data indicates that an ethno-political strategy highlighted the ruling body (ethnic Khitan) and the largest proportion of the ruled (ethnic Chinese). However, as it privileged ethnic Chinese, it simultaneously marginalized the remaining ethnic minorities, which subsequently lead to a revolt by ethnic Jurchen and the downfall of the Khitan Empire.

Este trabalho busca entender a forma??o e a consolida??o do Estado brasileiro atrav?s de uma an?lise da organiza??o judici?ria. O ponto de partida ? o pr?prio Estado. Por um lado, h? uma heran?a administrativa colonial que resulta em uma linha de continuidade. Por outro, o processo de Independ?ncia evidencia um momento de ruptura. Sobre essa dualidade, constitui-se este estudo. O foco de an?lise est? na administra??o judici?ria do Rio Grande do Sul, entre 1833 e 1871, uma prov?ncia tardiamente inserida nos dom?nios lusitanos e constantemente envolvida em conflitos b?licos, ora a favor, ora contra o Imp?rio. Foram investigadas as estrat?gias do governo central na constru??o e modifica??o do aparato judici?rio, bem como, as especificidades locais que caracterizaram o seu funcionamento, ou seja, a inser??o dessa estrutura judici?ria junto a sociedade sul-riograndense. Nessa investiga??o, foram identificadas duas formas de administrar a justi?a: uma em conson?ncia com os interesses estatais e outra permissiva aos interesses locais. Por isso, defende-se que a manuten??o do Estado, coeso e unificado, do per?odo imperial, foi garantida pela capacidade de sobreviv?ncia de dois interesses paralelos e antag?nicos. Nesse embate velado, o Estado, at? o per?odo regencial, parecia fadado ? derrota; mas, a partir do Segundo Reinado, o projeto de normatiza??o, iniciado com a Constitui??o de 1824, foi retomado com for?a redobrada. A partir da?, o governo organizou um eficiente arranjo pol?tico institucional que permitiu a manuten??o da ordem estatal. Enquanto isso, os poderes locais resignavam-se com as brechas deixadas pelo Estado para continuarem nelas perpetrando a voca??o mandat?ria. Um desses espa?os era a administra??o judici?ria, que se configurou num teatro de interesses, no qual a magistratura cumpria duplo papel.

Abstract:

In the century and a half since the days of the ‘scramble for Africa’ a vast body of literature has emerged attempting to disentangle the complexities of the ‘New Imperialism’. One of the most prominent and enduring theories was proposed by Ronald Robinson and John Gallagher in Africa and the Victorians, which linked the partition of East Africa with geo-strategic concerns connected to Egypt and India. Building upon John Darwin’s initial critique, this thesis will re-examine the partition of East Africa in an attempt at offering a comprehensive refutation of the Egypto-centric interpretation. The explanatory model will be exposed as a post-hoc fallacy, neither grounded in documentary evidence nor consistent with the sequence of events and policy-decisions. An alternative understanding will be proposed in which the partition of East Africa in successive stages from 1884 to 1895 formed part of a British policy continuum in the region, wherein protection of commercial interests and suppression of the slave trade were the principal determinants. By tracing the chronology of the partition it will be contended that its ultimate geographical scope was substantially determined at the very beginning of the colonisation process; whilst imperial agency were decisive in expanding the British sphere of influence to comprise Uganda in 1890 and similarly, public opinion was crucial for retaining it in 1892. In particular it will be argued that partition largely represented the cost-effective transplantation of British anti-slave trade policy from the maritime to the continental sphere, a shift enabled by the use of railway technology.

Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Teologiska institutionen, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-215212.

Full text

Abstract:

In recent years there has been an increasing demand for a reform of the UN system at the national level. Objecting to a failure in aid effectiveness and a paternalistic implementation of a rigid western model of human rights, the call for reform has been concretised in the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness (2005), the Hanoi Core Statements on Aid Effectiveness (2005) and the General Assembly Resolution A/60/1(2006), which recognize the need for a more effective and coherent UN country presence. The One UN reform – Delivering as One – is currently being piloted in eight different countries, one of them Viet Nam. One of the main principles governing the reform is the shift of power as to who directs the UN’s resources. The principle of increased national ownership is juxtaposed with the fact of a government repressing its people, as is the case in Viet Nam. This thesis builds upon a field study in Viet Nam, addressing issues of human rights violations, the Communist Party’s rhetoric of protecting the people, and the UN’s rhetoric of expertise conditioned by western thought. The question of whether the subaltern can speak is again raised here, as is further inquiries on whether the Government of Viet Nam and/or the UN hears and/or listens to it. Utilizing Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action to theorise the agencies of The Government of Viet Nam and the One UN, and by placing them in a Habermasian polity of communicative action, it becomes possible to view this occurring encounter of ideologically governed actors in a new light, and inquire as to whether it is possible to reach an understanding and coordinate plans of action by way of agreement. This thesis sheds light on and problematizes issues of western presence, communicative action, the colonial civilizing project, subalternity, as it is activated in the context of Viet Nam and in the principles of the UN reform.
