Ward, Mary Elizabeth. "Forests of thought and fields of perception : landscape and community in Old English poetry." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2018. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/8674/.
Full textAbstract:
Old English poetry is centred on the concept of community and the importance of belonging. Landscape was a component of any community since, during the period when Old English poetry was being composed and written down, the landscape was a far more important constituent of daily life than it is for the majority of people today. Landscape dictated the places that could be settled, as well as the placing of the paths, fords, and bridges that joined them; it controlled boundaries, occupations, and trading routes. In the poetry of the period landscape, as part of the fabric of community, is the arbiter of whether each element of a community is in its proper place and relationship to the others. It is the means of explaining how a community is constructed, policed, and empowered. Erring communities can be corrected or threats averted through the medium of landscape which also positions communities in place and time. Landscape is presented as the cause of dissension in heaven, the consequent creation of hell, and the key to comprehension of the fundamental difference between them. The linguistic landscapes of Old English poetry are a functional component of the meaning inherent in the narratives.

Full textAbstract:
This study considers how environmental concerns helped shape Melbourne's public parkland in the period 1850-1920, when Melbourne's first parks were developed and during which ecology began to replace natural history as the determinant of environmental thought. Theories propounded by such figures as Alexander von Humboldt and George Perkins Marsh profoundly influenced land management around the world during this period, and by relating specific parkland developments to professional and popular ideas about the environment the study aims to place the parkland in an international context. Previous research has given little thought to the effect of environmental thought on Melbourne's parks, except for Ferdinand von Mueller's development of the Melbourne Botanic Garden where the influence is evident. Such influence has not been considered in Clement Hodgkinson's contemporaneous development of the city's other parks and gardens even though, like Mueller, Hodgkinson was closely involved with environmental issues of the day. The Field Naturalists Club of Victoria, of which Mueller was a member, has long been credited with influencing Wattle Park's development early in the 20th century, although there is little critical analysis of the extent to which it was able to bring popular concerns about the environment to bear on park design. The relationship between Mueller's environmental views and actions and his development of the Botanic Garden is discussed first. Connections are then made between Hodgkinson's early experiences as a surveyor, his later work as Victoria's foremost land manager, his association with Mueller, and his design of Melbourne's first parks and gardens. Finally, the FNCV's involvement in park development is examined while exploring the changing nature of environmental thought. Clearly, environmental thought did influence the development of some parkland, but only those reserves administered by Mueller and Hodgkinson and only while the two men remained in control. The success of the FNCV in influencing the future direction of any Melbourne park or garden is not so easily discernible, with little evidence that the Club played an important role in Wattle Park's development.

Full textAbstract:
Thus far, Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of capital, field and habitus have not been discussed together with the literature a teacher chooses in the subject English at a Swedish secondary school. However, this study aims to provide more research in this area, as well as how the concepts of capital, field and habitus affect the teacher in how he or she works with literature. This essay discusses the choice of literature of four teachers, as well as how the teachers work with the literature in the classroom. Furthermore, this essay observes that these teachers’ colleagues, time and experience are important factors in their choice of literature and teaching methods. Since these specific factors were found important, the essay concludes that Bourdieu’s concepts of capital and field are more represented than his idea of habitus in the teachers’ choice of literature, as well as how they work with the literature. This conclusion has been made since the teachers used the same approaches when it came to teaching literature, even though they did not have the same education or experience. In other words, the different habitus the teachers have, in this case their education, are in the end almost irrelevant since the teachers used the same approaches as each other, no matter what education they had or when they had it.

O presente trabalho, cujo objetivo principal é interpretar sociologicamente a atuação de produtores da chamada ciência social uspiana, investiga aspectos da trajetória intelectual de algumas professoras do Curso de Ciências Sociais da Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras, da Universidade de São Paulo, examinando disputas simbólicas típicas de grupos intelectuais e voltadas para a conquista da afirmação acadêmica nas Cátedras do Curso. Tais disputas seriam inerentes à busca de afirmação, poder e legitimação, por parte dos cientistas sociais em geral, e corresponderiam a clivagens que são analisadas a partir das origens sociais dessas professoras e das relações de sociabilidade em que elas se enredavam. O autor mostra que tais origens e relações teriam interferido na carreira delas (posições, cargos, títulos conquistados e obras produzidas). Ele usa como referenciais teóricos, principalmente, obras de Pierre Bourdieu e de Norbert Elias, e se vale de textos biográficos, autobiográficos, depoimentos, entrevistas, memoriais e cartas. O trabalho se insere no âmbito dos estudos da sociologia da cultura, mais especificamente na chamada história intelectual ou sociologia da vida intelectual.This paper, whose principal objective are make a sociological interpretation about the actuation of productors of Social Sciences from USP, research aspects of the intellectual trajectories of female professors from the Socials Science course of Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras, of the Universidade de São Paulo, inquire symbolic arguments typical of intellectual groups and with the intention obtaining academic affirmation in the Cathedras of this Course. In addition, such arguments matches would be inherent in the search of affirmations, power and legitimation, by social scientists in general, and they would correspond to cleavages that are analyzed starting from the social origins of these female professors and from the sociability relationship in which they are entangled. The author shows which these origins and relationships would have been interferenced in their careers (positions, achieved titles and produced works). He uses like theoretical references, mainly, works of Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias, and to have recourse of biographical and autobiographical texts, testimonies, interviews, memorials and letters. The paper is inserting in the environment of studies of sociology of culture, more specifically in the called intellectual history or intellectual life sociology.

The objective of this work is to interpret the performance of José Américo de Almeida from a sociological viewpoint, in a context which comprises the period between the years 1920 and 1960. This period was marked by the modernization of industry, political and artistic transformations, and the shaping of Brazilian social thought. We have sought to highlight aspects of the writer s intellectual trajectory which signify contributions to the Social Sciences, expressed both through his writings and actions in the literary, political and scientific fields. The discussion has originated in the dialogue struck up between the interpreters of the National in the process of the institutionalization of Social Sciences in Brazil, and the intellectual from Paraíba, and involves the analysis of his works, including scientific texts, novels, autobiography, speeches, interviews, memoirs and letters, dealing with themes related to a modern, democratic Brazil where there is a mixture of races. The conclusion was reached that the contribution of José Américo towards the shaping of Brazilian social thought , in the scientific field, lies in his proposal of an anthrosociology, which defends positivities (creativity, resistance and diversity)in the mixed-race national identity, and its disassociation from social and economic backwardness. The lack of development is understood by him as the effect of the lack of a democratization of power and capital. This inspired his disclosure and social criticism in the novels, which have become his innovative contribution to the literary field In the political field his contribution is his idea of democracy. The theoretical and methodological foundation on which the present work is based is the theory of reflexivity of Pierre Bourdieu, highlighting the concepts of Field and Habitus. This research belongs to the ambit of studies of intellectual trajectories, more specifically, in the field of Brazilian social thought.
O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de interpretar sociologicamente a atuação de José Américo de Almeida, num contexto compreendendo os anos de 1920 a 1960, período marcado pela modernização industrial, pelas transformações políticas e artísticas e pela formação do pensamento social brasileiro, buscando destacar aspectos de sua trajetória intelectual que denotam contribuições para as Ciências Sociais, expressas por meio de obras e ações nos campos literário, político e científico. A discussão é feita a partir do diálogo travado entre os intérpretes do Nacional no processo de institucionalização das Ciências Sociais no Brasil e o intelectual paraibano, envolvendo a análise de obras deste, a saber, textos científicos, romance, autobiografia, discursos, entrevistas, memórias e cartas, girando em torno de temáticas relativas ao Brasil moderno, democrático e miscigenado. A conclusão é que a contribuição de José Américo para a formação do pensamento social brasileiro, no campo científico, reside em sua proposta de uma antrossociologia, na qual defende positividades (criatividade, resistência e diversidade) na identidade nacional miscigenada e sua dissociação com o atraso social e econômico, entendendo a falta de desenvolvimento como efeito da ausência de uma democratização do poder e do capital, o que inspirou sua denúncia e crítica social no romance que veio a se tornar sua contribuição inovadora no campo literário e, no campo político, sua ideia de democracia. O referencial teórico e metodológico do trabalho se apóia na teoria da reflexividade de Pierre Bourdieu, destacadamente os conceitos de Campo e Habitus. A pesquisa se insere no âmbito dos estudos de trajetória intelectual, mais especificamente no campo do pensamento social brasileiro.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de JaneiroA presente pesquisa de mestrado configura-se como um trabalho no âmbito da História do Pensamento Geográfico no qual privilegia-se a relação geografia e religião expressa no subcampo da geografia cultural: geografia da religião. Seu objetivo central é compreender a dinâmica de desenvolvimento deste subcampo, expresso nos estudos que vem se realizando nesta área e melhor compreendida se elaborarmos os seguintes questionamentos: (a) em que contexto se desenvolveu e vem se desenvolvendo o subcampo em tela? (b) como se caracteriza o subcampo em termos nacionais? (c) Quais são as categorias de análise/conceitos próprios deste subcampo? (d) Quais são as metodologias genuinamente pertencentes ao subcampo? Com o objetivo de concretizá-la, nos utilizamos do conceito de campo e do método reflexivo interpretado por Pierre Bourdieu (1989), conjugadas as três dimensões da cultura de Raymond Williams (1992); das congruências interdisciplinares das ciências sociais que abordam o fenômeno religioso, sendo elas a Sociologia e a Antropologia; como também da relação geografia cultural-geografia da religião. O recorte temporal se mescla a linha cronológica da geografia cultural no Brasil, iniciando em 1989 e condicionada ao término da integralização do curso de mestrado, em 2009. A importância desta proposta consiste na tentativa de construir um quadro panorâmico dos estudos em geografia da religião no Brasil.
This masters thesis presents itself as a work in the History of Geographical Thought which the focus is the relationship between geography and religion expressed in the subfield of cultural geography: geography of religion. Its main objective is to understand the dynamics of development of this subfield, expressed in the studies that have been performed in this area and better understood if we elaborated the following questions: (a) what is the context that the subfield was developed and is developing? (b) how is characterized the subfield in national terms? (c) what are the categories of analysis / concepts peculiar to this subfield? (d) What are the methodologies genuinely belonging to the subfield? In order to make it happen, we use the field concept and method reflective by Pierre Bourdieu (1989), combined to the three dimensions of culture by Raymond Williams (1992); also, the interdisciplinary between social sciences like Sociology and Anthropology, and also the relation between the cultural geography and the geography of religion. The time line is the same of cultural geography in Brazil, starting in 1989 and conditional upon the end of my master course period, in 2009. The importance of this proposal is an attempt to build a general overview of studies in geography of religion in Brazil.

Situated within the contemporary field of direct data visualisation, my practice-led research interprets Berger’s ‘Field’ essay as a guide to producing four field | studies within a suburban park in Canberra. My seasonal investigations demonstrate how applying the conventions of the pictorial list, dot-distribution map, routing diagram and colour-wheel reveals subtle ecological and biographical narratives.

"Genuine Cherry Red" is a fiction novel.
It is the story of three people who live in a house beside a hill in the flattest place on earth - an almost fable-like setting. In different ways, each is locked inside the order and control they have constructed through the years. Surrounded by nature and its reliable cycle, they are resisting change and denying the unpredictable randomness of life. Marta is a young woman who is both intelligent and naïve, caught inside a private maze of thinking and rethinking. She lives with her mother's cousin Ena who gave up nursing to take Marta in when her mother succumbed to depression, and Ena' s husband Len, a successful and prolific writer of cowboy fiction. Since a cancer diagnosis, Len - who had been living with multiple
sclerosis - has been virtually catatonic ... until Grey Bob suddenly arrives. The central character of Len's fictional stories permeates their lives and things begin to change.
The natural environment, the people of the nearby town, the order of the house all transform and Marta, Ena and Len struggle to cope. But they have no choice. When the inevitable shifts occur, spontaneous events have impact and disease progresses, each member of the family eventually finds a way to deal with the fact that reality can be
haphazard and out of their control. So, through the presence of a fictional character, three people are forced to confront the erratic nature of human life.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the genesis and development of direct taxation in early New Zealand. During the study period (1843-45), both taxpayers and tax were new to the colonial settlement and this study traces the early history of the two trying to accommodate each other. Between 1843 and 1845, subject to the politics of tax, the fiscal future of the colony was decided. The thesis begins by contextualising the study. It critically examines the revenue and expenditure record of the Crown Colony period and then details the antecedents of New Zealand fiscal policy in general and specifically tax policy (our shared English heritage). Thereafter, four interesting events in New Zealand tax law are discussed: (1) Schedule E of the British Land and Income Tax Act, 1842 (arrived in New Zealand 1843); (2) The Property Rate Ordinance, 1844; (3) the proposed Amendment to the Property Rate Ordinance, 1844; and, (4) the proposed Dealers’ Licensing Ordinance in 1845. After analysing the period’s individual direct tax laws, the thesis elaborates on the political process which determined the development of this body of tax laws. Thereafter, the thesis develops a conceptual model to explain the tax reform process of the study period. The thesis finds that tax policy during the study period was driven by four key influences: crisis (internal/external and economic); political considerations; the application of sound nineteenth-century economic policy; and importantly, the precedent of another nation’s experience with tax policy development. To have knowledge of such events in economic history (the past record of tax law), how and why they occurred, matters. Just as a nation’s financial accounts are built on the foundations of the previous fiscal year, future taxation policy will be based on current taxation policy; tax laws which were developed from past (historic) tax practices. Therefore, knowledge of how New Zealand formulated tax policy in the past and why it did so, is of interest to fiscal policy makers today. Future tax policy is simply a derivation of past tax laws; the development of New Zealand’s taxation policy began in New South Wales in 1839, and thereafter began, what this thesis suggests, was a predictable, evolutionary process.

Gustafson, Michael. "The Duality of Tactical Thought : A Study of how Swedish Land Forces’ Commanders view Tactics in Irregular Warfare." Doctoral thesis, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:fhs:diva-5024.
Full textAbstract:
This is a sociological study of the views of officers in the Swedish Army and its Amphibious Forces on tactics in Irregular Warfare (IW), in particular, Counterinsurgency (COIN). IW comprises struggles, where the military weaker part uses an indirect approach with smaller units and integrates the civilian and military dimensions in a violence spectrum including subversion, terrorism, Guerrilla Warfare and infantry actions. IW is the main armed warfare style in insurgencies. COIN is the combined political, military, economic, social and legal actions in counter insurgencies. Data has been collected by means of interviews with almost all (n =43) officers, who were either commanding battalions or rifle and manoeuvre companies while undergoing training for general warfare and international operations. The main theoretical and methodological inspiration is the traditional one for research on social fields, inaugurated by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. The statistical technique used is Multiple Correspondence Analysis. As a background and context base, an inquiry inspired by the Begriffsgechichte (Conceptual History) tradition explores the genesis and development of understandings of the term Irregular Warfare. The research question is outlined as; “how can contemporary Swedish military thought on tactics in Irregular Warfare be characterized using descriptive patterns, mapped in relation to background factors and normative standards? The most significant findings are that there are two main opposing notions separating the officers’ views on tactics in Irregular Warfare: (1) a focus on larger, combat oriented and collectively operating military units versus smaller and larger, more intelligence oriented and dispersed operating units, and (2) a focus on military tasks and kinetic effects versus military and civilian tasks as well as “soft” effects. The distribution of these views can be presented as a two-dimensional space structured by the two axes. This space represents four categories of tactics, partly diverging from normative military standards for Counterinsurgency. This social space of standpoints shows different structural tendencies for background factors of social and cultural character, particularly dominant concerning military backgrounds, international mission experiences and civilian education. Compared to military standards for Counterinsurgency, the two tactical types characterized by a Regular Warfare mind-set stands out as counter-normative. Signs of creative thought on military practice and theory, as well as a still persistent Regular Warfare doxa are apparent. Power struggles might thus develop, effecting the transformation to a broadened warfare culture with an enhanced focus also on Irregular Warfare. The result does not support research results arguing for a convergence of military thought in the European transformation of Armed Forces. The main argument goes beyond tactics and suggests sociological analysis on reciprocal effects regarding strategy, operational art, tactics as well as leadership, concerning the mind-set and preferences for Regular, Irregular and Hybrid Warfare.

“The Vermilion Gate” is one of Lin Yu-tang’s eight novels, also the end-steps of Lin Yu-tang’s “War Trilogy”.In the Episode I of “War Trilogy” -- “Moment in Peking”, it tells a story about the rise and fall of the discord times and the prominent family''s prosperity and decline in the war-chaos period. Through the Episode II “Leaf in the Storm”, readers can experience the war and seek for the opportunity of peace by following the characters’ footsteps. Till the last part -- “The Vermilion Gate”, we portrayed not only the survival of nobility and the rise and fall of the war times, but the destitute and homeless in war. The writing essence of “The Vermilion Gate” is Lin Yu-tang presented a seamless flow of talk between the space and the character by depicting the growth course of female lead --Jo-an’s mind. In his way, Lin Yu-tang let readers hold a hope about postwar world and whole new life. Collected by direct observation of Lin Yu-tang’s “War Trilogy”, from Episode I to EpisodeⅢ, there has been some decrease in the number of character, and the field disposition changes slightly. But in “The Vermilion Gate”, the characterization and the depiction of field are more splendid than the other two. In the thesis, Narratology、 Human Geography and Spatial Thoughts (a part of Spaces Theory) provide a solid foundation for discussing. And this thesis focuses on the narrative structure、 the symbolic of field、 the connection with characters. Finally, the relationship between field and situation shows the importance and value of spatial thoughts in Lin Yu-tang''s “The Vermilion Gate”.

This study investigated the link between creative thought and intuition. These concepts were defined in terms of two psychometric tests used to measure personality and interest. The two tests used were the 19 Field Interest Inventory (19FII) and the Jung Personality Questionnaire (JPQ). Intuition was measured on a continuum in terms of Jung’s conceptualisation of intuition- sensation. Creative thought was conceived as both a cognitive and an unconscious process. The research was quantitative in nature. A comparison was done between the scores obtained on the personality questionnaire (JPQ) and the interest inventory (19FII) in order to determine if there was a link between intuition and creative thought. These results were inconclusive. Thereafter the study investigated whether the subjects enrolled for an engineering degree who used intuition as their dominant auxiliary function performed well in a course designed to promote creative thought. The results were inconclusive and this might be due to the small sample group and numerous variables that were not controlled.Dissertation (MA (Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2006.
