Full textAbstract:
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor Of Philosophy in History in the Department of History at the University of Zululand, 2018This is a historical study of modern politics in the Kingdom of Swaziland. It is a study of a leading driver for democratic change in Africa’s ‘only absolute monarchy’. The leading driver is a modern political formation known as the People’s United Democratic Movement (PUDEMO) and the study demonstrates a variety of ways in which the Swazi monarchy responded to PUDEMO’s struggle to democratise the Kingdom of Swaziland. These ways are presented as signs of democratic practice in a country that abolished the Independence Constitution and cardinal practices of liberal democracy in 1973, five years after the end of formal British rule. The thesis uses the experience of PUDEMO to show that the signs of change were not simply products of monarchical benevolence, but came about as a result of pressure put by PUDEMO on the Swazi leaders. It is a study of the history of PUDEMO and its contribution to the process of democratisation of Swaziland. It interrogates the various ways in which PUDEMO has influenced change towards a democratic dispensation in the country.

Full textAbstract:
In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called St. Augustine, Florida, the most racist city in America. The resulting demonstrations and violence in the summer of 1964 only confirmed King’s characterization of the city. Yet, St. Augustine’s black history has its origins with the Spanish who founded the city in 1565. With little racial disturbance until the modern civil rights movement, why did St. Augustine erupt in the way it did?
With the beginnings of Jim Crow in Florida around the turn of the century in 1900, St. Augustine’s black community began to resist the growing marginalization of their community. Within the confines of the predominantly black neighborhood known as Lincolnville, the black community carved out their own space with a culture, society and economy of its own. This paper explores how the African American community within St. Augustine developed a racial solidarity and identity facing a number of events within the state and nation. Two world wars placed the community’s sons on the front lines of battle but taught them to value of fighting for equality. The Great Depression forced African Americans across the South to rely upon one another in the face of rising racial violence. Florida’s racial violence cast a dark shadow over the history of the state and remained a formidable obstacle to overcome for African Americans in the fight for equal rights in the state. Although faced with few instances of violence against them, African Americans in St. Augustine remained fully aware of the violence others faced in Florida communities like Rosewood, Ocoee and Marianna.
St. Augustine’s African American community faced these obstacles and learned to look inward for support and empowerment rather than outside. This paper examines the factors that vii encouraged this empowerment that translates into activism during the local civil rights movement of the 1960s.

Full textAbstract:
The understanding and practice of leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa, in all spheres, is at the heart beat of this work. Questions and concerns over the quality of leadership in most countries in this particular region are reasons which have led to revisit and investigate the formative training of the current cohort of African leadership with a special focus on the ethical aspect of leadership. It is an assumption, in this thesis, that the contemporary cohort of African leadership received their formative training especially in the 1960s and 1970s and that they were deeply influenced by the black consciousness movement and, in association with that, by the emergence of black theology. In this respect, this research project explores the notions of ethics and leadership with a view to determine ways in which an appropriate leadership ethos was portrayed and articulated in the writings of selected exponents of the black theology movement, namely ML King (Jr), Desmond Tutu and Allan Boesak. The purpose of this work is therefore mainly descriptive: to map discourse on a leadership ethos in the context especially of black theology.

Full textAbstract:
Up until the 19th century, religion was used as a way of legitimizing slavery in America. With the rise of the civil rights movement religion seems to have played a quite different role. This essay aims to explore the role of religion in the ideologies of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The speeches, writings and actions of these two men have been analysed in hope that the result will contribute to the larger study of American civil rights history.
This essay proposes that both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X infused their political message with religious ideas and that they leaned on religion for support and inspiration. By analysing the discourse headed by King and X it becomes clear that in direct contrast to how religion was used during slavery, religion was used as a way of legitimizing equality (and in some cases black superiority) between races during the civil rights movement.

An investigation into the role of design in shaping Euro-Western experience and interpretation of the post genocide memoryscapes of Cambodia and Rwanda." Lincoln University, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10182/1392.
Full textAbstract:
Bearing witness to tragedy, the aftermath of genocide often resides quite evidently within the landscape. A potent container of memories and representation, the landscape provides both a symbolic role in which to honour the victims and give survivors a place to mourn and remember, but is also often infused with the tensions of post-genocide life. The memoryscapes of the Cambodian and Rwandan genocides illustrate these contested concerns explicitly. The case study sites investigated in this study - the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and the Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre in Cambodia, and the Kigali Memorial Centre in Rwanda - each express today (consciously or unconsciously) design strategies that engage the Euro-Western visitor. Termed Euro-Western ‘cues to connect’, encountered and existential phenomenological data is analysed in relation to design interpretation and the affective cognition of meaning. Finally, considered in relation to Berlin’s Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, post genocide memorialisation is analysed in its ability to connect through time and culture - through its ability to transpose interpretations and evolve as the needs of society change.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this creative project is the search for an alternative path of spatial understanding and the implementation of an complementary way that seeks to communicate new spatial ideas in the real of architecture.By introducing the hypothesis of a consolidated unit that consists of the triptych space, movement and the perceiving human being, one is necessary to create a media that can potentially help the expression of multidimensional structures.For this purpose dance is introduced in the field of architecture. Choreography and movement notation are structured and interpreted in order to inform the field of architecture on a theoretical as well as on a practical level.By analyzing components of dance, useful elements that can help to "render" architectural ideas can be identified.The second part of this thesis project, provides a way of how to implement the unit space, movement and the perceiving human being, into the field of architecture. A synthesis of elements existing both in the field of architecture and dance, constitute the base for an architectonic artefact. The introduction of an artefact as such, "moves" beyond the expected understanding of architectural space, commonly portrayed as something static and absolute, while it offers new possibilities to spatial perception.Department of Architecture

Galima teigti, jog ilgą laiką filosofija kino atžvilgiu buvo nusiteikusi priešiškai. Filosofai bei menininkai abejojo kino priklausomybe meno sričiai, nes kinas, anot jų, neturi savitos ir unikalios kalbos, o režisieriai piktinosi, jog filosofai, interpretuodami tam tikrus filmus, jiems primeta savas teorijas, taip atimdami iš kinematografinio meno jo unikalumą. Šio darbo tikslas – pažvelgti į kinematografinį meną iš filosofinės perspektyvos, o, tiksliau, kokias prielaidas interpretuojant kiną gali pasiūlyti filosofija. Aptariant tokius konceptus kaip – laikas, trukmė, kinematografinis mechanizmas, vaizdas, vaizdinys-judėjimas, vaizdinys-laikas, momentinės nuotraukos, montažas ir kt. – nuo filosofinės disciplinos pereinama prie kinematografinio meno, bei bandoma įrodyti, jog kinas, bent jau kartais, turi nemažai bendro su filosfinėmis teorijomis. Kino kuriami vaizdiniai gali tapti iliustracijomis filosofijos kuriamų konceptų.We can say, that for a very long time, philosophy was bad-minded in regard to cinema. Philosophers and artists had doubts about cinema‘s subordination to art, because, in their opinion, cinema doesn‘t have his own, unique language, and film directors were in anger, because philosophers, in their interpretations of certain films, tried to enforce their own theories to cinema, by taking away its unique being. The aim of this work - to look into cinematic art from philosophical perspective, more precise, what assumptions of cinema interpretation can offer philosophy. Discussing concepts like – time, duration, cinematic mechanism, image, image-movement, image-time, snapshot, montage – we move from philosophical discipline to cinematic art, by trying to prove, that cinema has something common with philosophical theories. Images composed by cinema, can become illustrations of philosophical concepts.

Thesis advisor: Lyndon GarrettCoinciding with the upsurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement in the Summer of 2020, collegiate and professional sports teams have exhibited increased involvement in social issues. Existing research primarily analyzes the platform and visibility that athletes have to promote social agendas, but there is a gap in knowledge regarding how a sports team forms a collective identity around a social movement. This study seeks to fill this gap in research by utilizing qualitative surveying and interviewing to examine how Boston College athletes engage in the Black Lives Matter Movement. Processes of grounded theory and inductive analysis are used to understand how the Boston College Women’s Rowing Team values contribute to the team’s shared mental model to fulfill the conditions of social movement emergence and further promote team value adoption and team success. Evaluation of student-athletes across different Boston College teams through this study also offers insights to the controversy over sports teams engaging in social issues

In his books of movement-image and time-image – Cinema 1 and Cinema 2 – Deleuze applies concepts to classical and modern cinema. He doesn‘t choose movies as illustrations of his concepts but values them as the same concepts expressed in visual form. The main aim of this master thesis – to discuss the concepts of any-space-whatever, which belongs to the cinema of movement-image and expresses indirect time, as well as of crystal-image, which expresses a complex system of direct time, and to investigate their manifestations in the art of cinema.

Full textAbstract:
Since 9/11 terrorism has been much discussed both in international media and in an academic context. Countries like China have launched their own”war on terror”. The purpose of this essay will be to research how a nation like China can use terrorism and religion to motivate the marginalization of oppositional religious minorities. This will be done through a discourse analysis of YouTube videos produced in cooperation with the Chinese state that focuses on the East Turkestan Islamic Movement. The focus of the analysis will be on the discourses used by the Chinese state to define the East Turkestan Islamic Movement, religion and terrorism and how these discourses relate to William Cavanaugh´s theory of the myth of religious violence which states that a nation can use an envisaged link between religion and violence to legitimate its own existence, motivate its own use of violence and marginalize religious groups. The analysis show that the Chinese state marginalize the East Turkestan Islamic Movement and the conflict in Xinjiang by focusing on terrorism and religious violence as the main cause to the conflict in Xinjiang.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes that the ministry of Dr Beyers Naudé to the victims of oppression during the apartheid rule in South Africa had a missionary dimension. It argues that the credibility of the Christian faith was challenged by the victims of oppression, as a result of the way in which it was used as a supportive tool for oppression. Through his ministry, Beyers Naudé succeeded in communicating the Christian faith in a special way to the victims of oppression. This led to a change of mind for the victims of oppression with regard to their negative attitude to the Christian faith. This study further resulted in the development of a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to the victims of oppression. The argument is that there is another form of post-1994 victims of oppression in South Africa made out of those who feel left out by government poverty alleviation, economic development and service delivery programmes. The inability of government to strike a balance between the rich and the poor as well as corruption will always yield the ‘disadvantaged’ section of society who may feel ‘oppressed’, neglected and left out in favour of the few who have ‘connections’ at higher levels of government. These victims’ response will be characterized by anger which results into protest actions similar to those seen during the time of the ministry of Beyers Naudé. The question posed in this study is ‘how to minister to angry people who feel left out by government?’ In order to respond to this challenge and to equip ministers of religion and other interested people, a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to victims of oppression was therefore developed based on the example of Beyers Naudé. The main question posed in this study around the reason for the success of Beyers Naudé’s ministry is “what ‘muthi’ did he use to win the hearts, love and support of the victims of oppression?” In order to answer this question, there is a three step approach that has been followed. Firstly I looked at factors that made him or influenced his making i.e. his life from his birth to his ‘conversion’, South African political landscape divided into two periods (1940-1963 and 1963-1994) as well as Faith Based Organisations’ response to apartheid. Secondly, I looked at his actual ministry to the victims of oppression from 1963 to 1994. I divided his ministry between the categories of centripetal and centrifugal patterns of mission. Thirdly a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to the victims of oppression was developed, based on his contribution to a positive Christian witness. In the concluding chapter, I made some proposals for a way-forward in terms of areas for further study which were triggered by this research. The best statement for concluding this study, indicating the commitment of Beyers Naudé for God’s mission and how this was misunderstood by his church (the DRC) was taken from Mokgoebo (2009) who states: Beyers Naudé was a prophet of his time. As the saying goes, ‘the prophet is never respected at his own home’. His witness will remain long after we have gone, as a White man who was grasped by the powerful message of the Kingdom of God, of justice and reconciliation.Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the meaning and practice of History Workshop as a site of knowledge production and emancipatory politics in Britain and West Germany from the late-1960s to the early-1980s. In this respect, it marks a departure from most secondary accounts that have been written on the movement and associated forms of historical work in both countries, which have tended to separate out intellectual history from the social and cultural histories of protest and activism. The aim of this research is to preserve the interdependence and mutual implication of these two realms, treating them as part of the many-sided political dynamic that energised and directed the activities of the movement. Furthermore, it goes beyond the existing literature by broadening the scope of inquiry to encompass transnational spheres of activity, which includes an investigation of the forms of interaction, exchange and mutual perception between Workshop historians in both countries, along with a focus on the social networks and institutional apparatuses, and the ways in which they connected participants. This approach follows trends in recent scholarship on the history of social movements, where historians have increasingly turned their attention towards the comparative, transnational and global contexts of protest, a trend that is also slowly filtering into other fields like intellectual history and even the subspecialism of the history of historiography.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the history of the Toba Batak community in the city of Medan from1912 to 1965. The Toba Batak have traditionally lived in the rural interior highlands ofSumatra. In this region, their specific ethno-religious identity was developed. Thecrucial factor in the process was the activities and the theological convictions of theGerman Rhenish mission on which the Toba Batak themselves had a significant impact. During the first few decades of the 20th century the Toba Batak began to migrate to the plantation region on the east coast of Sumatra and its commercial entrepôt Medan.In this region, where the Malay Muslim culture was the local dominant culture, theystrove to fulfil their cultural ideals, among which the ideal of harajaon (kingdom) iscentral. The main analytical question pursued is: How did the Toba Batak ethno-religious identity develop in Medan, within the framework of the ethnic, religious, social andpolitical currents in the city? This question is analysed in terms of their changing relations to their area of origin,the interaction with other groups in Medan and the efforts of the Toba Batak to buildup their own organisations. The main focus is on the development of Christiancongregations, but the analysis also takes voluntary, political and women's organisationsinto account. The changing conditions for local ecumenical co-operation are alsoexplored. A wide selection of sources is used, such as missionary reports and correspondence, Dutch colonial records and Toba Batak written and oral sources. Most of these sources have not or only partly been employed in previous research.

Full textAbstract:
Fondée en 1878 par le traité de San Stefano, mutilée par celui de Berlin, la principauté autonome de Bulgarie voit ses destinées confiées en 1887 à Ferdinand de Saxe-Cobourg et Gotha. Le nouveau knyaz est contraint dès son avènement à imposer sa personne et les ambitions de son pays dans l’arène internationale. Après une lutte de longue haleine pour obtenir la reconnaissance de son titre par le concert européen, il s’évertue à mener les Bulgares vers la réalisation de leurs idéaux nationaux. Il se heurte aux blocages dus aux liens unissant Sofia à Constantinople, à la rivalité des États environnants et aux politiques balkaniques contradictoires des puissances. Le prince aiguise au fil des ans son sens de la diplomatie et déploie une politique extérieure visant à tirer profit à la fois de la position stratégique de son pays et des rivalités des forces en présence, tout en exploitant à bon escient les circonstances successives. Sa politique de bascule aux ressorts progressivement définis est mise en œuvre, et à l’épreuve, au cours des secousses qui rythment les deux premières décennies du XXe siècle. Si elle permet à la Bulgarie d’accéder à l’indépendance, et au statut de royaume, dans le sillage de la crise bosniaque de 1908, ses revers sont patents pendant les Guerres balkaniques et le premier conflit mondial. Pourtant, force est de constater que ses échecs ne sont pas imputables au seul Ferdinand dont l’examen des faits tend à atténuer les responsabilités dans les « Catastrophes nationales », les deux défaites vécues par les Bulgares en 1913 et 1918, conséquences d’un écheveau de causes d’une grande complexitéThe boundaries of an autonomous Bulgarian principality established by the provision of the San Stefano Treaty in 1878 were substantially reduced by the Great Powers at Berlin. Many unresolved problems between Sofia and Saint-Petersburg led to suspension of the bilateral relations and the abdication of Alexander of Battenberg. Ferdinand of Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha was elected Prince in 1887. After a “controversial” accession to the Bulgarian throne, the young knyaz was committed to impose himself and his country’s national interests to the international scene. After a long-term efforts aimed at recognition of his title of king amongst European chancelleries, he tried hard to realise Bulgarian national ideas. However, it undermined relationship between Sofia and Constantinople but also contributed to the rivalry between surrounding States and the Great Powers in the Balkans. Due to his diplomatic experience, Ferdinand opted for a new foreign policy strategy designed to benefit both from the Bulgaria’s strategic position and the rivalry between powers. Thus, the first two decades of the 20th century were marked by the tumult of Balkan politics. However, it allowed Bulgaria to gain independence, the status of the Kingdom in the wake of the Bosnian crisis in 1908, and the defeats during the Balkan Wars and the First World War. The defeats are not attributable entirely to Ferdinand who was the most responsible for the “National Catastrophes” in 1913 and 1918. This research has shown that fact-based analysis provides a more nuanced picture of Ferdinand’s reign which was effected by a complexity of contributing factors that inevitably plunged the country into international isolation and defeat in the Great War

Projektet bygger på åtta veckors fältarbete på en oberoende teater i Peking våren 2017,baserat på antropologisk och konstnärlig metod. Det är ett försök att utveckla begreppet konstnärlig etnografi, samt tillämpa det praktiskt. I detta är konsten inte huvudsakligen en produkt eller en presentationsform, utan ett sätt att tänka, att förhålla sig till världen. Materialet består av fältanteckningar, video, foto, rörelsematerial, personliga berättelser, minnen av dofter, ljud och smaker och någonting så vagt som stämning – stadens tempo, känslan i en repsituation… Hur kan scenen förmedla en plats och dess människor? Kan jag levandegöra mina upplevelser så att de blir angelägna för någon annan än mig själv? Det praktiska arbetet utgör ett försök att besvara dessa frågor. Vilka bilder har vi, och vad ser vi när vi speglar oss i varandra? Vad betyder det att våra världar redan är sammanflätade? Spegeln som bild och lek, träder fram både som tema och metod. Begrepp som exotism, representation och mötet med den andre diskuteras, liksom växlingen mellan identifikation och främmandegörande (”othering”) som en grund för förståelse. Hur påverkas människors liv av Kinas snabba samhällsförändringar, balansgången mellan socialism och kapitalism? Och vilken roll har scenkonsten i detta? Här diskuteras frågor om yttrandefrihet, liksom relationen mellan politik och spelstil, så kallad ”fejk realism”. Frågorna knyts samman genom en diskussion om autenticitet, följd av en betraktelse om utanförskap, för att slutligen återvända till det personliga mötet, till en berättelse om kontaktsökande – om vänskap.This project is based on eight weeks of fieldwork at an independent theatre in Beijing in the spring of 2017, based on anthropological and artistic methods. It is an attempt to develop the concept artistic ethnography, and apply it practically. In this, art is seen not mainly as a product or a form of presentation, but as a way of thinking, of relating to the world. The material consists of field notes, video, pictures, movement material, personal stories, the memories of smells, sounds and tastes and of something as vague as atmosphere – the pace of the city, the feeling of a rehearsal situation... How can the stage render a place and its people? Can I bring my experiences to life, making them relevant for anybody else? The practical artistic work with an exposition is an attempt to answer these questions. What images do we have, and what do we see when we mirror each other? What does it mean that our worlds are already intertwined? The mirror as image and play appear both as a theme and a method. Concepts like exoticism, representation and the encounter with the other are discussed, as well as the movement between identification and othering, contributing to understanding. How are people’s lives affected by China’s rapid social changes, balancing between socialism and capitalism? What role do the performing arts have in this? Questions about freedom of expression are discussed, along with the relation between politics and styles of acting, the so called “fake realism”. The research questions are tied together in a discussion of authenticity, to finally return to the personal encounter and a story of seeking contact, of friendship.

Abstract: The purpose of this thesis intends to explore the following: 1.Understanding nonviolent struggle theory. 2.Explore the roots of Martin Luther King’s nonviolent thought. 3.Analyse the nonviolent strategies which are used by Martin Luther King in Civil Rights Movement. 4.Evaluate Martin Luther King’s contribution for black people. In this thesis, chapter one explains motivation, purpose, literature review, data resources and framework of this study. Chapter two discusses the essences of nonviolent struggle theory in four parts: the origins of nonviolent struggle theory, theory of power, strategies of nonviolent struggle and the historical development of nonviolent struggle by means of data analysis. Chapter three analyses the writings of Martin Luther King and other authors’ works about King to explore how King is affected by Henry David Thoreau, George Washington Davis, Walter Rauschenbusch and Mahatma Gandhi by means of documents analysis. Chapter four analyses how King successfully uses nonviolent strategies to achieve reform in his four movements which are Montgomery Movement, Albany Movement, Birmingham Movement and Selma Movement. Chapter five evaluates King’s contribution for black people’s social and political status by analysing the statistical data. Chapter six is the conclusion which sums up the characteristics of King’s nonviolent struggle and evaluates king’s contribution for America.

Full textAbstract:
Envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967, the Poor People's Campaign (PPC) represented a bold attempt to revitalize the black freedom struggle as a movement explicitly based on class, not race. Incorporating African Americans, ethnic Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, American Indians, and poor whites, the PPC sought a broad coalition to travel to Washington, D.C., and pressure the government to fulfill the promise of the War on Poverty. Because of King's death and the campaign's subsequent premature end amid rain-driven, ankle-deep mud and just a few, isolated policy achievements, observers then and scholars since have dismissed the campaign as not only a colossal failure, but also the death knell of the modern freedom struggle.
Using a wide range of sources - from little-used archives and Federal Bureau of Investigation files to periodicals and oral histories - this project recovers the broader significance of the campaign. Rejecting the paradigm of success and failure and placing the PPC in the broader context of the era's other social movements, my analysis opens the door to the larger complexity of this pivotal moment of the 1960s. By highlighting the often daunting obstacles to building an alliance of the poor, particularly among blacks and ethnic Mexicans, this study prompts new questions. How do poor people emancipate themselves? And why do we as scholars routinely expect poor people to have solidarity across racial and ethnic lines? In fact, the campaign did spark a tentative but serious conversation on how to organize effectively across these barriers. But the PPC also assisted other burgeoning social movements, such as the Chicano movement, find their own voices on the national scene, build activist networks, and deepen the sophistication of their own power analyses, especially after returning home. Not only does this project challenge the continued dominance of a black-white racial framework in historical scholarship, it also undermines the civil rights master narrative by exploring activism after 1968. In addition, it recognizes the often-competing, ethnic-driven social constructions of poverty, and situates this discussion at the intersection of the local and the national.Dissertation

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the crucial role of spirituals and freedom songs during the American Civil Rights movement from 1955-1968. Singing this music and speaking their lyrics affirmed African Americans' humanity, inspired hope for justice, and nurtured community development. When they sang, activists experienced "egalitarian resonance"-- spontaneous community among singers and listeners crossing race, age, gender, and class differences. These moments modeled the ideal American, multiracial community. In the absence of a 24/7 news cycle, freedom songs instantly provided a grassroots history of the movement.
Both artistic expression and vocal protest, spirituals testified to the resilience of the human spirit. Created by African American slaves, spirituals expressed human psychological, emotional, and physical suffering. During twentieth-century segregation, W.E.B. Du Bois, James Weldon Johnson, and Howard Thurman wrote about spirituals and racial oppression. They understood spirituals expressed hope for justice despite despair. During the Civil Rights Movement, Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. quoted spirituals and freedom songs, linking past suffering with present persecution. Forming part of nonviolent protest, spirituals offered hope for an all-inclusive, "beloved community."
Between 1955 and 1968, freedom songs chronicled events and persons, orally recording the movement as it happened. Protesters sang long-established spirituals and newly-created freedom songs composed while working to open public facilities and to expand the franchise to all persons. Singing together in mass meetings solidified the resolve of participants and community members. When the movement spread from a regional to national phenomenon, freedom songs began showing other music influences including blues, rock and roll, and folk rock.

Comment comprendre la volonté d'appartenir à la nation américaine des Afro-Américains en dépit d'une mémoire faite d'humiliation et d'une accumulation de revers? À plusieurs reprises durant l'histoire américaine, des élites ont proposé à la communauté noire des solutions dites « radicales » qui remettent en question le paradigme dominant de l'intégration à la nation américaine. Ce mémoire tente d'identifier les raisons qui expliquent pourquoi, au cours du mouvement pour les droits civiques, les Noirs font le choix de l'intégration défendu par Martin Luther King et rejettent le séparatisme défendu par Malcolm X. La spécificité du mémoire réside dans l'utilisation de la littérature sur la formation des nations qui me permet d'étudier le choix des Afro-Américains. La nation est vue comme le produit d'une construction qui fait interagir les élites et les masses. J'étudie « par le haut » la façon dont les entrepreneurs ethniques, King et Malcolm X, redéfinissent l'américanité. J'étudie également « par le bas » comment les masses reçoivent les discours de ces élites. Ma première hypothèse se consacre à la formation de l'alliance stratégique entre King et l'exécutif américain qui permet à King de définir l'agenda législatif et d'appuyer son discours sur les gains qu'il réalise. La deuxième hypothèse se penche sur la structure des opportunités s'offrant aux Afro-Américains qui orientent le choix qu'ils font.How can one understand the African American community's will to belong to the American nation despite a past made of humiliation and an accumulation of setbacks? At several times during American history, elites have proposed so-called « radical » solutions that challenged the dominant paradigm of integration to the American nation. This thesis attempts to identify the reasons why, during the civil rights movement, the black community chose integrationnism championed by Martin Luther King, and rejected separatism advocated by Malcolm X. The specificity of this thesis lies in the use of the literature on the formation of nations, which allowed me to better understand the African American community's choice. The nation is seen as the product of a construction where elites and masses interact. « From the top », I analyzed how ethnic entrepreneurs King and Malcolm X redefined Americanness. « From the bottom », I analyzed how masses received the elites' discourse. My first assumption focuses on the strategic alliance between King and the American executive, which allowed King to define the legislative agenda and base his speech on actual gains he obtained. The second assumption focuses on the structure of the opportunities for African Americans that oriented the choices they made.

Full textAbstract:
This study of the March on Washington Movement (MOWM) investigates the operations of the national office and examines its interactions with local branches, particularly in St. Louis. As the organization's president, A. Philip Randolph and members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) such as Benjamin McLaurin and T.D. McNeal are important figures in this story. African American women such as Layle Lane, E. Pauline Myers, and Anna Arnold Hedgeman ran MOWM's national office. Of particular importance to this study is Myers' tenure as executive secretary. Working out of Harlem, she corresponded with MOWM's twenty-six local chapters, spending considerable time espousing the rationale and ideology of Non-Violent Goodwill Direct Action, a trademark protest technique developed and implemented alongside Fellowship of Reconciliation members Bayard Rustin and James Farmer. As a nationally recognized African American protest organization fighting for a "Double V" against fascism and racism during the Second World War, MOWM accrued political capital by the agitation of its local affiliates. In some cases, like in Washington, D.C., volunteers lacked the ability to forge effective protests. In St. Louis, however, BSCP official T.D. McNeal led a MOWM branch that was among the nation's most active. David Grant, Thelma Maddox, Nita Blackwell, and Leyton Weston are some of the thousands joining McNeal over a three-year period to picket U.S. Cartridge and Carter Carburetor for violating the anti-discrimination clause in Executive Order 8802, lobby Southwestern Bell Telephone to expand employment opportunities for African Americans, stage a summer of sit-ins at lunch counters in the city's largest department stores, and lead a general push for a "Double V" against fascism and racism. This study of MOWM demonstrates that the structural dynamics of protest groups often include a discrepancy between policies laid out by the organization's national office and the activity of its local branches. While national officials from MOWM and National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People had an ambivalent relationship with each other, inter-organizational tension was locally muted as grassroots activists aligned themselves with whichever group appeared most effective. During the Second World War, this was often MOWM.

Find full textAbstract:
When a secessionist movement breaks out among an ethnic group that straddles an international boundary, it immediately affects the neighboring ethnic kin state--a neighboring state that contains co-nationals of the secessionists. Given the arbitrariness of international boundaries (primarily, but not exclusively, in the developing world), which often divides ethnic groups among two or more states, and the re-emergence of ethno-secessionist movements in the post-bipolar world, the likelihood of ethnic kin states being present next to a secessionist region and being involved in the conflict in some capacity is high. Understanding how ethnic kin states react to secessionist movements involving their co-nationals in neighboring states is, therefore, important because it usually holds the key to predicting the audibility, visibility, durability, and international acceptability of such movements. In this dissertation, I develop and test a series of hypotheses about the different policies an ethnic kin state may pursue towards a secessionist movement of co-nationals in a neighboring state, the various motives that drive each policy, the motives of a particular policy and the quality of response it generates, and the consequences of the various policies for the audibility, visibility, durability, and international acceptability of the secessionist movementacase@tulane.edu

Full textAbstract:
Since its inception in April 2011, “SlutWalk” has grown from a Toronto-based rally and march against victim-blaming and sexual violence into a globalized movement spanning six continents. Given that its mainstream visibility is unprecedented for any contemporary feminist movement, SlutWalk represents a unique opportunity to examine representations of feminist politics in the Canadian mainstream news media. Drawing on the theoretical and methodological tools of feminism and cultural studies, I offer a contextualized reading and discourse analysis of the representations of SlutWalk across print, radio, and televisual media during its first nine months of press. On the surface, the media portrays SlutWalk in a fair and positive light, taking seriously its messages about police accountability, victim solidarity, and women’s liberation as key tenets for ending victim-blaming. Nonetheless, these “fair” messages are constituted by and constitutive of neoliberal, white supremacist, and postfeminist discourses of the “reality” of sexual violence, which undermine intersectional feminist efforts to eradicate sexual violence. I argue that mainstream media representations of SlutWalk reproduce a watered-down version of feminism and a decontextualized understanding of sexual violence that resonates most with white, heteronormative, educated women. Overall, I suggest that the mainstream visibility of SlutWalk is possible only insofar as its representations steer clear of any substantive critique of patriarchal violence as it articulates with racism, heterosexism, and institutional violence. Average media consumers of stories about SlutWalk are most likely afforded a sense that “managing” sexual violence and “liberating” women might be achieved within the existing status quo and through a sole focus on (white) women. In conclusion, I reiterate the need for intervention and engagement with the mainstream reproduction of discourses about feminism, and offer suggestions for how this might be achieved.Thesis (Master, Kinesiology & Health Studies) -- Queen's University, 2012-09-18 16:05:33.045

Full textAbstract:
Eine der großen Fragestellungen der Psychologie beschäftigt sich mit der Suche nach Determinanten unseres Verhaltens. Dabei finden wir in der psychologischen Literatur verschiedene Theorien, die der Nähe zwischen Personen Bedeutung verleihen. Die Arbeiten von Kurt Lewin (1935) beschreiben positive und negative Valenzen, Konflikte, Hindernisse und Bedürfnisse als Determinanten unseres Verhaltens. Auch soziometrische Untersuchungen fokussieren die Anziehung und Abstoßung als elementare Gruppenkräfte, welche sich anhand sozialer Distanzen und Beliebtheit in Gruppen widerspiegeln (Moreno, 1941; 1996).
Auf dieser Grundlage ist es uns möglich, Vorhersagen über eine Hinwendung zu und eine Abwendung von Personen zu treffen. Neben qualitativen Beobachtungen (vgl. Coie, Dodge, & Kupersmidt, 1990) bedienen sich bisherige Untersuchungsmethoden technischer Geräte, wie u.a. Beschleunigungsmessern und Schrittzähler (Cervantes & Porretta, 2010; Godfrey, Conway, Meagher, & ÓLaighin, 2008; Trost, 2001; Welk, Corbin, & Dale, 2000; Yang & Hsu, 2010), um Aussagen über das Bewegungsverhalten von Personen treffen zu können. Hierbei werden allerdings die Beziehungen und Dynamiken zwischen den Personen sowie das daraus resultierende Distanzverhalten völlig unbeachtet gelassen. Mit Hilfe neuester Technologien ist es nun möglich, räumliches Bewegungsverhalten in Form von x-, y-, z- Koordinaten zu erfassen.
Das Ziel meiner Arbeit liegt in der Erhebung und Auswertung der Bewegungsdaten von Kindern, welche mit einer automatisierten Echtzeit-Ortungs-Methode (Real Time Location System = RTLS) erfasst wurden. Bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt wurde das Bewegungsverhalten von 114 Kinder aus sieben Gruppen von vier unterschiedlichen Kindergärten, von sechs Kindern einer Schule für Blinde und Sehbehinderte sowie von 24 Schülern aus zwei Klassen einer Schule mit einem Förderschwerpunkt für geistige Entwicklung erhoben. Die in diese Arbeit einfließenden Studien bieten einen ersten Einblick in die Erhebungs- und Auswertungsmöglichkeiten von räumlichen Bewegungsdaten und beleuchten den aktuellen Stand dieser Forschung.:DANKSAGUNG II

Full textAbstract:
Verskeie navorsers het bevind dat motoriese agterstande by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders
voorkom en dat daar 'n beperkte hoeveelheid siftingsmeetinstrumente beskikbaar is om die
moontlikheid van motoriese agterstande by die kind jonger as vyf jaar te identifiseer.
Sommige faktore wat navorsers meen ‘n invloed op die motoriese agterstande van kinders
het, is ouderdom, ras, geslag en sosio-ekonomiese status. Hierdie motoriese agterstande kan
tot ontwikkelingskoördinasieversteuring (DCD) aanleiding gee wat op 'n vroeë ouderdom
geïdentifiseer moet word ten einde effektiewe hulp te verleen.
Hierdie studie se doel was tweedoelig. Dit was eerstens daarop gemik om die aard en omvang
van motoriese uitvalle gegrond op sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en ouderdom by 'n
geselekteerde groep drie- tot vyfjarige Suid-Afrikaanse kinders te bepaal. Die tweede doel
was om die geskiktheid van die “Little DCDQ” vraelys vir die identifisering van DCD by 'n
geselekteerde groep drie- tot vyfjarige kinders te bepaal.
Vir die eerste doel is 53 kleuters (N=53) by die studie betrek. Die proefpersone is volgens
hulle chronologiese ouderdom in twee oudersdomsgroepe verdeel, naamlik 3.0-3.11 jaar
(n=24) en 4.0-4.11 jaar (n=29). Een en twintig seuns (n=21) en twee en dertig dogters (n=32)
is ingesluit. Twee rasgroepe, blankes (n=20) en swartes (n=33), is in die ondersoekgroep
verteenwoordig. Die groep is ook verdeel in twee sosio-ekonomiese klasse, gebaseer op
inkomste van die gesin, naamlik laag (n=31) en hoog (n=22). Die proefpersone is met die
“Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 (MABC-2)” getoets om die aard van hulle
motoriese agterstande te bepaal. Die “Statistica for Windows 2013” Statsoftrekenaarprogrampakket
is gebruik vir data-ontleding. Vir doelstelling 1 is data eerstens vir
beskrywende doeleindes deur middel van rekenkundige gemiddeldes ( X ),
standaardafwykings (sa) en minimum en maksimum waardes ontleed. Frekwensieverdelings
is verder gebruik om die DCD status van die groep te ontleed. Verskille met betrekking tot
sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en ouderdom is vergelyk deur van onafhanklike t-toetsing
gebruik te maak, waar p≤0.05 as betekenisvol aanvaar is. Uit die resultate wat bestudeer is,
blyk dit wel die geval te wees dat motoriese
uitvalle by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders voorkom en dat sosio-ekonomiese klas, geslag, ras en
ouderdom 'n rol speel. Resultate toon dat 11.3% van die groep met ernstige DCD
geïdentifiseer is. Die hoë sosio-ekonomiese klas (22.7%), meisies (15.6%), swart kinders
(18.2%) en die drie jaar ouderdomsgroep (12.5%) het die meeste kinders in die ernstige DCD
klassifikasie gehad. Geen betekenisvolle ouderdomsverskille het tussen die twee
ouderdomsgroepe voorgekom nie, buiten vir die gooi- en vangvaardighede waar die
driejarige groep betekenisvol beter (p≤0.05) as die vierjarige groep gevaar het. Wit kinders
het beter as swart kinders in die fynmotoriese vaardighede presteer en seuns het betekenisvol
beter (p≤0.05) as dogters in die gooi- en vangvaardigheid presteer. Geen statistiese verskille
met betrekking tot die veranderlikes wat getoets is, is tussen die verskillende sosioekonomiese
klasse gevind nie.
Vir doelstelling 2 het 110 kleuters se ouers die “Little Developmental Coordination Disorder
Questionnaire (Little DCDQ)” voltooi. Volgens die toetstotaal is die kleuters in ‘n rangorde
geplaas, waarna elke tweede kleuter op die rangorde met die MABC-2 getoets is om die vlak
van ooreenstemming tussen die twee meetinstrumente te bepaal (N=53). Betroubaarheid is
ontleed deur Chronbach Alpha-waardes vir die twee toetsbatterye te bepaal. Geldigheid van
die “Little DCDQ” is ontleed deur eerstens van Spearman korrelasiekoëffisiënte gebruik te
maak waarna kruistabulering gebruik is om vas te stel hoeveel kinders in die onderskeie DCD
kategorieë ooreenstemmend deur die vraelys en toetsbattery geklassifiseer is om sodoende
die sensitiwiteit en die spesifisiteit van die vraelys te bepaal. Die “Little DCDQ” en die
MABC-2 toon goeie betroubaarheid vir al die veranderlikes wat 'n Cronbach Alpha van hoër
as r=0.8 getoon het. Die “Little DCDQ” het matige korrelasie getoon met twee van die vier
veranderlikes van die MABC-2, waar die vang- en gooi afdeling van die MABC-2
korrelasie van r=0.3 met die algehele koördinasie afdeling van die “Little DCDQ” en die
totaal van die MABC-2 'n korrelasie van r=0.29 met die totaal van die “Little DCDQ” getoon
het. Die “Little DCDQ” se sensitiwiteit en spesifisiteit het egter nie aanvaarbare resultate
getoon nie (r=57,1% en r=81,2%) in vergelyking met die MABC-2 vir die totale van die
“Little DCDQ”.
Samevattend kan uit die resultate gerapporteer word dat ras en geslag wel 'n rol speel in die
aard en omvang van motoriese uitvalle by drie- tot vyfjarige kinders. Uit die huidige studie
het dit egter geblyk dat sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede nie so 'n groot rol speel nie. Dit het
ook duidelik geword dat die “Little DCDQ” as 'n moontlike siftingsmeetinstrument vir die
identifikasie van DCD by kinders jonger as vyf jaar woonagtig in Suid-Afrika oorweeg kan
word, maar met aanpassings. Die “Little DCDQ” moet in meer diepte ondersoek word vir
gebruiksmoontlikhede om DCD by kinders jonger as vyf jaar te identifiseer ten opsigte van
die uitdagings wat die Suid-Afrikaanse kultuur en grootword omstandighede vir kinders se
ontwikkeling inhou.MSc (Kinderkinetics), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores what Telford Taylor called the “ethos of Nuremberg” and how it shaped antiwar resistance during the Vietnam War in the United States. The Vietnam War was a monumental event in the twentieth century and the conflict provided lawyers, academics, activists, and soldiers the ability to question the legality of the war through the prism of the Nuremberg Principles, the various international treaties and U.S. Constitutional law. As many legal scholars and historians have lamented, the Cold War destroyed hopes for the solidification of an international court empowered to preside over questions of war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace. In the absence of cooperation among the international community, the antiwar movements in the United States and around the world during the Vietnam War utilized these legal instruments to form what I call a war crimes movement from below. A significant component of this challenge was the notion that individual citizens – draft noncooperators, military resisters, tax resisters, and the like – had a responsibility under the Nuremberg Principles to resist an illegal war. In the numerous United States military interventions after World War II, none had been challenged as openly and aggressively as the war in Vietnam. As this thesis will demonstrate, the ideas that crystallized into action at Nuremberg played a major role in this resistance.
