Full textAbstract:
La tesis tiene como objetivo demostrar, desde las perspectivas de la historia y la teoría
económica, que la propuesta de explicación de la organización económica de las sociedades
andinas prehispánicas desarrollada por John Murra sólo tiene un alcance particular y no
constituye una explicación general. Su propuesta articulada en varios ensayos publicados
en 1975 y basada en lo que llamó el «control vertical de un máximo de pisos ecológicos»,
(modificado posteriormente al concepto más amplio de «complementariedad ecológica»),
logro una aceptación general que denominamos «el modelo económico de Murra», cuyo
análisis crítico será el tema de esta tesis.
La tesis se desarrolla en cuatro capítulos. El primero comprende un análisis historiográfico
de la obra de Murra para rescatar las raíces epistemológicas de su enfoque y las
preocupaciones centrales de sus investigaciones. En el siguiente capítulo se examina las
influencias determinantes que provienen del marco teórico usado por Murra. Luego, en el
tercer capítulo, se hace una presentación de su modelo. Finalmente, se realiza el examen
crítico de la validez y los alcances del modelo. Al analizar el modelo de Murra, que
también es llamado el «ideal andino» o modo de producción que explica la organización de
la economía de las sociedades andinas prehispánicas, se consideró cuatro aspectos
principales. En primer lugar, la búsqueda de un posible modo de producción andino y las
influencias que se derivan del enfoque teórico de Karl Polanyi así como de la antropología
social. En segundo lugar, la contrastación del modelo con la diversidad ambiental y
geográfica del territorio andino, en particular con la dotación de recursos económicos, sobre
todo las tierras de cultivo. Luego se aborda los aspectos esenciales de la teoría económica
que son pertinentes al análisis de la realidad prehispánica y que se encuentran ausentes en
el modelo de Murra. Finalmente, se examina el sentido histórico que tiene el modelo, es
decir, su aporte a la construcción de una posible historia andina.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
This thesis comprises a biographical sketch of the 1st Duke of Atholl, Lord John Murray, the Scottish magnate and nobleman, 1660 – 1724. A background of his family tree is provided with instances of how his Murray ancestors raised their family into the peerage. Lord Murray would become the 1st Duke of Atholl less than one hundred years later. Discussion then turns to the religious situation during Lord Murray's life. He was raised Episcopalian but converted to Presbyterianism in order to wed Lady Katherine Hamilton, the eldest daughter of the 3rd Duke of Hamilton and his wife, Anne, Duchess of Hamilton in 1683. This marriage had a profound impact on the Murray family and his role in the ensuing years of civil battles and continental wars. Estate matters are set in place against the historical background of the era. Lord Murray's acquisition and control of the Atholl Estate from his father in 1689, is examined. His handling of the contentious Glenlyon Estate is prominently reviewed. The oversight of the Athollmen, the large, mainly Highland army loyal to the Atholl banner, who fought for the Crown in the Covenanting Wars of Scotland, and Lord Murray's youthful experiences during his father's leadership and later, his own, are explored. Murray's political fortunes from his early career through to his statesmanship in Westminster are examined. His leadership of the Commission of Inquiry into the Glencoe Massacre and his rise to Secretary of State for Scotland in 1696, resignation and fall, and his resurgence under Queen Anne, as the most vocal magnate opposing the Incorporating Union of 1707, the loss of his wife and heir, the repercussions of the early eighteenth-century Jacobite rebellions, his response to his sons' involvement in the uprisings and his final years finish the work.

Banks, Kirsten Francesca. "The John Murray Archive, 1820s-1840s : (re)establishing the house identity." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/17858.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the continuing growth of the House of Murray during the 1820s-1840s. Prior to the 1820s, Murray had enjoyed massive success with the publications of the work of Lord Byron, whose celebrity, and the profits generated, contributed significantly to the House’s prestigious reputation. Murray’s move from Fleet Street to Albemarle Street in 1812 also signified the House’s shift from bookselling to publishing, which enabled Murray to attract an increasing number of high-profile names from the worlds of literature, travel and exploration, the sciences, and politics. Murray’s drawing-room at Albemarle Street became renowned throughout the trade for its gentlemanly gatherings, comprising of the luminaries of the day. The four chapters of this thesis explore how Murray (re)established the House identity in different markets during the 1820s-1840s, as the Romantic epoch diffused into an increasingly commercialised era, with new production methods, an expanding marketplace, and increasing competition. Chapter One considers Murray’s use of the drawing room at Albemarle Street to construct a House identity amongst selected members of his inner circle. It also looks at the importance of the Byronic legacy to the House and the means by which Murray sought to protect it. Chapter Two engages with the contrasting side of the House, namely the ‘cheap’ publications, which Murray published in response to the growth of this market in the late-1820s and early-1830s. During this time Murray used some of his well-established assets, such as Byron, Crabbe and the Quarterly Review, to retain the prestige of the House, while attempting to reach new readers within the burgeoning middle class. Chapter Three examines Murray’s correspondence with some of his female authors to consider how the House responded to authors of both genders, and, with reference to ongoing scholarship regarding ‘women’s writing’, questions the veracity of a gender-centric approach when applied to the study of archival materials; the chapter’s findings suggest that both Murray’s male and female authors were treated similarly. The final chapter explores how Murray strove to retain control over the House’s reputation as international trading possibilities developed. The roots of the 'Handbooks' and the 'Colonial and Home Library' are also traced back further than has previously been considered, and read within the context of the ongoing re-branding of Byron discussed in Chapters One and Two. The House’s literary figures, and the Quarterly Review, were used by Murray in the 1840s to promote the values and prestige of the House in America, Europe and the Colonies. This thesis offers much previously unpublished archival material from the John Murray Archive at the National Library of Scotland. It builds upon previous scholarship on John Murray and seeks to contextualise some of these lines of enquiry through providing a sustained study of the House during the 1820s-1840s. It uses quantitative analysis, where possible, to provide further grounding for some of its claims, and situates the findings within the growing body of research in this area. It is the underlying aim of this thesis to foreground the House’s shift from the ‘Romanticism’ of the early-nineteenth century towards the ‘commercialism’ of the mid-nineteenth century, whilst serving as a point of reference for further scholarship on the John Murray Archive during this time period.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws upon the literatures of historical geography, book history, and archival theory to investigate the production of travel narratives by the London publisher John Murray during the second half of the nineteenth century. It traces the processes by which in-the-field experiences of explorers and travellers were translated into a textual and physical object: the published book. By interrogating the practicalities and technicalities of geographical publishing, particularly in relation to travellers’ paratexts, the thesis draws attention to the need for geographers to consider the literary commercialisation of geographical knowledge. The John Murray Archive provides an unusual opportunity to examine geographical publishing across 33 years, 138 titles, and 102 authors. Murray’s extensive correspondence and detailed financial records provide source material for the first comparative study of these books. The structure of the thesis follows Murray’s publication process, from accepting or rejecting manuscripts to textual editing, the shaping of paratexts, production of illustrations, and, ultimately, sales, translations, and further editions of later nineteenth-century books of travel. It places remarkable works of travel Murray published in the later nineteenth century — books by authors including David Livingstone, Paul Du Chaillu, Heinrich Schliemann, and Isabella Bird — in the context of the unexceptional. In conclusion, this thesis furthers academic understanding of a nationally important archival resource, demonstrating the value of a longitudinal survey which accounts for economic as well as epistemic influences upon geographical publishing.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: S.J., David HollenbachThis dissertation explores the possible contribution of the Catholic tradition to the current debate in the field of international studies regarding the appropriate role of state sovereignty in global governance. The dissertation addresses the issue from the perspective of ideas, and is divided into three parts. First, it describes how the modern sovereign states system emerged as a result of prior revolutions in ideas about justice and political authority thereby drawing on the work of Daniel Philpott. It then examines the writings of three twentieth-century Catholic writers who treated the issue of sovereignty as part of their reflections on international affairs: Luigi Sturzo, Jacques Maritain, and John Courtney Murray. Finally, the dissertation correlates the work of Sturzo, Maritain, and Murray with a number of contemporary political theorists of cosmopolitan democracy. It argues not only that there are significant similarities between Sturzo, Maritain, and Murray and cosmopolitan theory, but also that the Catholic tradition can complement cosmopolitanism in a helpful manner. Thus the dissertation suggests a way forward for the Catholic tradition with respect to the issue of state sovereignty and global governance, and it provides a challenge to the Catholic community regarding this matter

Full textAbstract:
The Quebec City festivals of 1927 and 1928 represent a unique instance of close collaboration between prominent figures in Canadian musical and cultural history, John Murray Gibbon and Marius Barbeau. Based on Anglocentric concerns for a unique Canadian identity and corresponding school of composition, the festivals served as points of contact between many artists and performers, including Juliette Gauthier and Florence Glenn. An analysis of specific performances at the CPR festivals and over the course of Glenn and Gauthier’s respective careers showcase how racialized attitudes towards Indigenous populations, and the static conceptualization of French-Canadian folk culture were navigated to perform “Canadian folksong.”

Full textAbstract:
In mid-November, 1775, Lord Dunmore last Royal Governor of Virginia attempted to enlist the support of rebel owned slaves to crush Patriot resistance to Great Britain. This study examines the slaveholders' response to Dunmore's actions. Virginia's slaveholders fought a counter-revolution in order to maintain traditional race relations in the colony. Patriot propaganda portrayed Dunmore as a race traitor, who became symbolically more "black" than white. Slaveholders characterized Dunmore as a rebel, a madman, and a sexual deviant - stereotypes normally given to slaves by their "masters." Since Dunmore threatened to destroy the defining institution of slavery, planters sought to salvage their identities by defending the paternalistic philosophy and racist assumptions upon which slave society was based. Planters overwhelmingly became Patriots to protect slavery.Department of History

Full textAbstract:
This paper provides an overview of the inspiration, research, and creative process involved in the composition of EverWind for orchestra and electronics. EverWind is based on field recordings from the American Southwest. The composition uses pitch material derived from spectral analysis of the recordings, and it incorporates a fixed media element using the field recordings that are then electronically manipulated to various degrees; this fixed media element is played alongside the orchestra. The paper also analyzes John Luther Adams' Dark Waves for Orchestra and Electronics and R. Murray Schafer's Music for Wilderness Lake in order to place EverWind within the broader musical context.

Full textAbstract:
Uma incursão pelo romance Avalovara, de Osman Lins, abre possibilidades para a descoberta de um universo acústico repleto de simbolismos, permeando as cenas da narrativa. O presente trabalho fundamenta-se nas pesquisas do compositor e educador canadense Raymond Murray Schafer sobre a paisagem sonora mundial. Propõe-se a investigar a relação entre a obra literária Avalovara e a linguagem sonora a partir das expressões acústicas do romance, identificando os possíveis significados de tais conexões. Fez-se necessária a transposição para o mundo ficcional de Avalovara da metodologia de análise e classificação dos sons utilizada por Schafer, tendo sido elaborada uma tabela de categorização contendo os cenários mais significativos com as sonoridades identificadas em cada um deles. Uma passagem pelos caminhos da ecocrítica e da ecologia sonora possibilitam, com base na visão de Schafer sobre ruído associada a diversas expressões de sons estridentes presentes na narrativa, vislumbrar uma proximidade do pensamento de Osman Lins com o ideário da ecologia acústica. Sons naturais, música, ruídos e silêncio se mesclam em uma sinfonia de oposições sonoras em que o ir e o vir dá vida e ritmo à narrativa, estabelecendo uma ligação da linguagem literária com a linguagem musical. Inter-relacionam-se, também, a estrutura do romance e a organização formal de peças musicais relevantes, tais como, a cantata Catulli Carmina, de Carl Orff, e os fragmentos da introdução da Sonata em fá menor (K462) para cravo, de Scarlatti. Quatro músicas de caráter contrastante, aqui denominadas de eixos musicais, revelam o percurso dos protagonistas em suas buscas, seus anseios e suas frustrações. O pássaro Avalovara com seus cantos, gritos e movimentos em espiral, traz à tona um mundo de mistérios que permite fazer associações e interpretar os diversos simbolismos relacionados à ave guia. As palavras no corpo da remetem a um processo de iniciação para o conhecimento, quando o pássaro mítico a introduz no mundo dos sons. Alguns aspectos da filosofia tântrica são aqui abordados em razão da profunda similaridade dos processos de ascensão espiritual com a trajetória de Abel e a , em sua obstinada busca pelo conhecimento absoluto a partir do domínio dos mistérios das palavras que perpassam o corpo da mulher tríplice. O silêncio no romance é analisado sob várias perspectivas, relacionando-o com a filosofia tântrica e com as concepções de Schafer e de John Cage. O romance foi considerado como uma única paisagem sonora e seus fragmentos cênicos denominados, neste trabalho, de cenários sonoros.A foray into romance Avalovara, Osman Lins, opens up possibilities for the discovery of an acoustic universe full of symbolism permeating the scenes of the narrative. This paper is based on the researches of the Canadian composer and educator Raymond Murray Schafer about the global soundscape. It propose to investigate the relationship between the literary work Avalovara and a sound language from the novel acustic expressions, identifying the possible meanings of such connections. Was necessary a transposition to the fictional world of Avalovara of the analysis methodology and classification of sounds used by Schafer, having been developed a categorization table containing the most significant scenarios with the sounds identified in each of them. A passage along the paths of ecocriticism and sound ecology allow, based on Schafer's view of noise associated with various expressions of strident sounds present in the narrative, to glimpse a proximity of the thought of Osman Lins with the ideas of acoustic ecology. Natural sounds, music, noise and silence blend themselves in a symphony of sound oppositions where the going and coming give life and rhythm to the narrative, connecting the literary language with the musical language. Interrelate also the structure of the novel and the formal organization of relevant musical pieces such as the Catulli Carmina cantata, of Carl Orff, and the fragments of the introduction of the Sonata in F minor (K462) for harpsichord, of Scarlatti. Four musics of contrasting character, here called of musical axis, shows the route of the protagonists in their searches, their anxieties and their frustrations. The Avalovara bird with their chants, shouts and spiral movements brings up a world of mysteries that allows associations and interpret the various symbolisms related to bird guide. The words in the body of refer to a process of initiation into the knowledge, when the mythical bird introduces her in the world of sounds. Some aspects of tantric philosophy are addressed here because of the profound similarity of spiritual ascension process with the trajectory of Abel and , in his dogged pursuit of absolute knowledge from the control of the mysteries of words that permeate the body of the triple woman. The silence in the novel is analyzed from various perspectives, relating it with the tantrik philosophy and the thought of Schafer and John Cage. The novel was regarded as a unique soundscape and its scenic fragments called, in this work, of sound scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
The word 'marijuana' was introduced to Australia by the US Bureau of Narcotics via the Diggers newspaper, Smith's Weekly, in 1938. Marijuana was said to be 'a new drug that maddens victims' and it was sensationally described as an 'evil sex drug'. The resulting tabloid furore saw the plant cannabis sativa banned in Australia, even though cannabis had been a well-known and widely used drug in Australia for many decades. In 1964, a massive infestation of wild cannabis was found growing along a stretch of the Hunter River between Singleton and Maitland in New South Wales. The explosion in Australian marijuana use began there. It was fuelled after 1967 by US soldiers on rest and recreation leave from Vietnam. It was the Baby-Boomer young who were turning on. Pot smoking was overwhelmingly associated with the generation born in the decade after the Second World War. As the conflict over the Vietnam War raged in Australia, it provoked intense generational conflict between the Baby-Boomers and older generations. Just as in the US, pot was adopted by Australian Baby-Boomers as their symbol; and, as in the US, the attack on pot users served as code for an attack on the young, the Left, and the alternative. In 1976, the 'War on Drugs' began in earnest in Australia with paramilitary attacks on the hippie colonies at Cedar Bay in Queensland and Tuntable Falls in New South Wales. It was a time of increasing US style prohibition characterised by 'tough-on-drugs' right-wing rhetoric, police crackdowns, numerous murders, and a marijuana drought followed quickly by a heroin plague; in short by a massive worsening of 'the drug problem'. During this decade, organised crime moved into the pot scene and the price of pot skyrocketed, reaching $450 an ounce in 1988. Thanks to the Americanisation of drugs policy, the black market made 'a killing'. In Marijuana Australiana I argue that the 'War on Drugs' developed -- not for health reasons -- but for reasons of social control; as a domestic counter-revolution against the Whitlamite, Baby-Boomer generation by older Nixonite Drug War warriors like Queensland Premier, Bjelke-Petersen. It was a misuse of drugs policy which greatly worsened drug problems, bringing with it American-style organised crime. As the subtitle suggests, Marijuana Australiana relies significantly on 'alternative' sources, and I trawl the waters of popular culture, looking for songs, posters, comics and underground magazines to produce an 'underground' history of cannabis in Australia. This 'pop' approach is balanced with a hard-edged, quantitative analysis of the size of the marijuana market, the movement of price, and the seizure figures in the section called 'History By Numbers'. As Alfred McCoy notes, we need to understand drugs as commodities. It is only through a detailed understanding of the drug trade that the deeper secrets of this underground world can be revealed. In this section, I present an economic history of the cannabis market and formulate three laws of the market.

Baysa, Michael I. "Locating scriptural authority in Charles Chauncy's Universalism." Thesis, 2017. https://hdl.handle.net/2144/22454.
Full textAbstract:
Charles Chauncy remains an important transitionary figure between eighteenth century Puritan orthodoxy and nineteenth century liberal Congregationalism. Many historians imagined Chauncy as a figure caught between the revelatory experiences of the Great Awakening and the rational social ethos of the Revolutionary War. This framework has helped historians harmonize Chauncy’s traditional Calvinism and his progressive Universalism, especially as they understand Chauncy’s publications on Universalism: The Mystery Hid From Ages, The Benevolence of the Deity, and Five Dissertations. Read together, these three works comprise a Universalism canon that portrays Chauncy as a theologian compromising between two extremes: reason and revelation. Read separately, however, demands a more nuanced view of Chauncy beyond portrayals of him as a religious innovator or an indecisive theologian.
Chauncy’s strict adherence to scripture complicates this paradigm. On the surface, Chauncy’s biblicism illustrates his adherence to Puritan methods of epistemology. A deeper analysis of scriptural authority’s shifting role in Chauncy’s canon demonstrates an individual negotiating his abiblical environment with the texts of scripture . While historians have demonstrated the ways in which hermeneutical decisions arise from the social and political situations faced by individuals like Chauncy, few have investigated the ways in which scripture also facilitates religious transitions, at times even the decline of its influence in social and political contexts. Chauncy’s inclusion and omissions of scripture in his publications demonstrated the ways in which eighteenth century biblical canon struggled to adapt to an eighteenth century context. Recognizing this, Chauncy grounded his Universalism on scripture by appropriating John Taylor’s exegetical approaches to rebut the abiblical Universalism of John Murray or the rationalist of deists like Thomas Paine. But by the nineteenth century, New England Congregationalism demonstrated the fruits of a Chauncy’s labors: a steep decline in reliance upon biblical authority. While Chauncy had demonstrated the possibility of a biblical foundation for his Universalism, he may have also inadvertently diminished the need for it as he compromised on biblical authority in his works on Universalism. These compromises foreshadowed the challenges to scriptural authority in the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Northeastern British Columbia was occupied by the Cordilleran (CIS) and the Laurentide (LIS) ice sheets, however, the timing and extent remains contentious. The late Quaternary and Holocene history of this area is examined by exploring geomorphic, stratigraphic, geochemical and geochronologic components of glacial, deglacial, paraglacial and non-glacial landsystems. New tools, such as GIS, LiDAR, and new geochronologic methods, such as optical dating are used to understand the Quaternary geology and geomorphology of the region.
Bedrock topography represents the base of the Quaternary section and modelling shows that paleovalleys, common in this region, host extensive Neogene sedimentary records. Stratigraphies from the Murray and Pine valleys indicate glaciation prior to the Mid-Wisconsinan (MIS 3) and during the Late Wiconsinan (MIS 2). Glacial landforms record Late Wisconsinan ice-sheet coalescence and reflect the complex interaction of the LIS and CIS margins.
During deglaciation, the LIS and CIS separated and glacial Lake Peace (GLP) formed. Shoreline features enable reconstruction of lake and ice configurations. Four phases of GLP are preserved. Optical ages from Phase II indicate GLP occupied the area some time between ca. 16 – 14 ka yrs ago. The apparent tilt on the shorelines provides a measure of isostatic adjustments and suggests asynchronous retreat of first the LIS, then the CIS.
The transition from paraglacial to boreal conditions was driven by climate change and is recorded by vegetation sucession and cessation of paraglacial processes. Optical ages from stabilized dunes and radiocarbon ages from organics date the transition between 12 – 11.5 ka yrs ago with full boreal conditions established by 10 ka yrs ago.
The Holocene is dominated by erosional processes, however some systems are aggrading. A case study on a floodplain demonstrates that resistivity (Ohmmapper) surveys provide a grain-size proxy to suppliant GPR studies, which is essential for geophysical fluvial architectural analysis. In the study, the discrepancy between planform style (classic meander model) and subsurface geophysical surveys (indicative of vertical accretion associated with braided and wandering fluvial styles) reiterates cautions that planform may not always be a functions of depositional process and one may not be used to predict the other.Graduate

Full textAbstract:
This work explores the insights that can be gained from an investigation of the shared terms of the Manitoulin Island treaties of 1836 (Treaty 45) and 1862. I focus specifically on these treaties because I was raised in proximity to this area. This thesis is very much a personal exploration in the sense that I have come to understand myself as implicated in a treaty relationship and wish to know my obligations under these agreements. In my interpretation of the Manitoulin Island treaties, I employ a strategy developed by Dr. Michael Asch that begins with the Indigenous understandings. Within this strategy, treaties are conceptualized as honourable agreements meant to ensure our legitimate presence on this land. This methodology is unique in the sense that it conceives of our representatives' actions as sincere. This step is necessary because Indigenous peoples believed we were acting honourably during negotiations. In applying this strategy in my reading of the Manitoulin Island treaties, my objective is to discern the treaty relationship that was established, and to state clearly the obligations of both parties under these agreements. Though the primary focus of this thesis is my analysis of the treaties, I briefly discuss in my conclusion the anthropological insights I have gained from this exercise with respect to communication across cultures. Throughout this work, I focus on the concept of sharing as a productive and positive framework for thinking about relationships between cultures.

This thesis is a study of nineteenth and twentieth century faith theology and praxis, seeking to
determine a balanced, healthy faith that is both sound in theology and effective in practice, Part
1 presents a history and sources of Faith Teaching and Practices. It first looks
historically at the roots of later faith teaching and practice by presenting a sampling of
teachings on faith from early church fathers, reformers, mystics, and Pietists. These form the
foundation for the movements of faith in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries-the classic
faith teaching, followed by the modern faith movement and leaders.
Part 2 deals with the foundational issues of faith teaching and practice: the relationship of faith
to the supernatural, the concept of the inheritance of the believer and the practice of claiming
the promises of God, the nature of faith, and the authority of the believer and its inferences for
faith praxis.
Part 3 investigates seven major theological issues of faith teaching and practice: faith as a law
and force, the object and source of faith, the relationship of faith and the will of God,
distinguishing between a logos and a rhema word of God, the concepts of revelation and
sense knowledge, the doctrine of healing in the atonement, the question of evidence of the baptism
in the Holy Spirit.
Part 4 examines major practical issues of faith teaching and practice about which controversy
swirls: positive mental attitude and positive confession; issues of discernment in acting upon
impressions, voices, revelations, and "words from the Lord;" questions of faith regarding sickness
and healing, death, doctors and medicine; the relationships between sickness, suffering, healing,
and sanctification; and prosperity.
Part 5 reflects upon these issues and comes to final conclusions regarding: the role of
hermeneutics in determining faith theology and praxis, how to handle unanswered prayers and
apparent failures of faith, the seeming paradox and tension between claiming one's inheritance and dying to self, a summary of practical conclusions for exercise of healthy faith, and final conclusions and recommendations on developing a sound theology and practice of faith for the twenty-first century.Philosophy, Practical & Systematic Theology
