Abstract:

This study centres on the village of Greyton, near Caledon in the Western Cape. It investigates the contemporary and historic changes in its population, residence patterns, relationships and economic activity. It focusses particularly on the effects of the implementation of the Group Areas Act in the village in 1969 and the change from an apparently integrated agricultural settlement to a highly differentiated holiday and retirement resort. This thesis questions the validity of the term "community" within the constraints and contradictions imposed by the establishment of Group Areas. It examines the idea of visible and invisible villagers in the context of separate development and, in the light of the changes which have taken place, it considers the relative importance of a progressive attitude in social and economic planning as opposed to a policy of preservation of the original character of a rural village.

Abstract:

This thesis has two aims. Firstly, it aims to provide a detailed ethnographic account of a post-reform village in north-western China by approach of examining how the fields of social relations are formed by and through discursive representations of the village and how the formation of social relations and representations of the village are constituted in everyday practices. Secondly, this thesis also aims to reach wider theoretical issues, particularly issues concerning the debates about writing and fieldwork in contemporary anthropology, and aims to use a specific case study to raise, critically, questions about ethnographic writing on China. Writing in the wake of Foucauldian and renewed Marxist currents of radical critique from which comes the general claim of relating power to knowledge or to ideology, I take a 'practice approach' in this thesis to examine rural life in post-reform China as historically situated social practice. Focusing on the details of everyday life, I argue that, firstly, social action and its agents are mutually constitutive and, secondly, social, economic and political organisations as complex forms of practices are constituted in everyday practices. In the Introduction, I trace the regional tradition of ethnographic writing on China and illustrate my theoretical stance and the specific position from which I write. Chapter 1 provides a background of the village by way of presenting different narratives and representations about the village. Chapter 2 looks at kinship as a social practice and examines its changing strategies. Chapter 3 focuses on the tactics of marriage negotiation and shows that social relations are modifiable, alterable, changing processes. Chapter 4 looks at food and the way in which it is served on different occasions as a signifier of various kinds of social relationships. Chapter 5, as a core chapter of the thesis, examines the strategies and tactics of everyday practices through a series of detailed ethnographic examples. Chapter 6 looks at the village celebrations - weddings and funerals - as extensive forms of practices, which reveal more clearly 'the logic of practice' in post-reform rural China. Chapter 7, the last substantial chapter, focuses on the effects of the economic reforms on the village's economic and political practices, and shows the changing strategies in reordering and re-constituting the power relations in post-reform rural China. In my Conclusion, I point out the significance of my research as a critical understanding of both the actual socio-economic conditions of post-reform rural China and the regional tradition of ethnographic writing on China.

Abstract:

Growing Up Village is a collection of essays about life in an Alaskan Native village. Ranging in time from early childhood to late twenties, the stories examine how home and place influence the narrator's identity, what the narrator learns from the people around her, and how events, both minor and major, can impact and change a life. Ultimately, this collection of essays explores themes of home, family, culture, loss, courage, and community.

Aging in Place allows seniors to remain in their choice of residence for as long as possible, using local services and conveniences to live safely and independently. The Village Model is a component of this movement, recognized as a community-based and peer-support network, which allows older Americans to age in their homes and remain active in their community. While it is generally accepted that the first Village emerged in 2001, tens of new Villages have been established over the last few years (presently over 50 are operating and 120 are in planning). When the movement gained significant momentum, the Village to Village Network (VtVN) was established in 2009 as a response to national inquiries. VtVN, which is fundamentally an online tool, connects Villages across the country and provides technical support for developing and maintaining Villages. In this thesis, I present my research work on behalf of the ICA Group, a non-profit consultancy, as I evaluate how successfully VtVN has been able to meet the needs of its constituency (the Villages). I used three methods to make this assessment: 1. completing a literature review on policies related to older Americans and the Aging in Place movement; 2. conducting research on network structures, both through a literature review and case studies of other nationwide networks; and 3. employing a survey instrument to interview the leadership of existing Villages regarding their experience with their community and the Village to Village Network. Using these analyses, I provide recommendations to the Village to Village Network on how to improve the organization for its membership (the Villages) and for advocating the Aging in Place movement.

Abstract:

Cette thèse analyse les dimensions multiples d'un processus d'enfermement dans la métropole contemporaine, au moyen de parallèles et d'intersections, tracés entre un film, Dogville, de Lars von Trier, la philosophie de Gilles Deleuze et des exemples pris dans des villes comme Rio de Janeiro et Paris. L'enfermement est compris comme l'effet du repli et de l'évitement produit par la création des mondes plus ou moins étanches et homogènes. Le film Dogville sert de fil conducteur de cette' analyse. Il aide à " visualiser " et à analyser les conditions d'un possible " devenir-village " des métropoles, et son influence sur la construction de l'espace urbain contemporain, sous la forme d'une négation ou d'une atténuation des forces métropolitaines. Les concepts philosophiques fonctionnent comme des outils d'investigation et de problématisation, à partir de quoi nous tentons de dégager; dans la philosophie deleuzienne une stratégie d'anti-enfermement

Full text

Abstract:

A study was conducted in semi-arid Manyoni District, Central Tanzania, involving eight village communities to: 1) explore dietary and agricultural practices associated with aflatoxin risk; 2) assess aflatoxin contamination of village grains and groundnuts; and 3) assess village chicken susceptibility to aflatoxin exposure. To address the respective objectives, 1) Questionnaires were asked to 76 adult respondents randomly selected from households enrolled in a project, 2) A screening test was used on grain and groundnut samples collected peri-harvest (n=134) and ≥ 6 months in storage (n=157), followed by HPLC test on samples contaminated ≥10 µg/kg, and 3) 16 day old village chicks, randomly allocated to four groups, were fed diet with average aflatoxins ranging to 27, 102, 110, 358 µg/kg respectively, for 60 days. Most participating village farmers were naive to food toxins, with limited extension services, did not generally use irrigation, fertilisers and pesticides on crops, had inadequate harvesting, drying and storage techniques, and often consumed unpolished grains. Aflatoxin contamination of grains and groundnuts ranged to 198 µg/kg (mean=25.46 µg/kg) in post-harvest samples and 351 µg/kg (mean=50.83 µg/kg) in stored samples, above 10 µg/kg Tanzania MTL. Chronic exposure of village chickens to as low as 30 µg/kg aflatoxin containing feed was associated with organ lesions, low weight gain, low feed consumption, and low response to Newcastle disease vaccination.

Wang, Guohui. "Tamed village 'democracy' : elections, governance and clientelism in a contemporary Chinese village." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2008. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/251/.

Full text

Abstract:

The thesis is an exploration of the elections and governance in a contemporary Chinese village. It is a qualitative case study of one village in Shandong Province, China, using in-depth interviews with villagers, village candidates, township officials as well as national, provincial, township and village documents. It reveals how the clientelist system functions in and shapes the process of the village elections and governance. Drawing upon the qualitative data and empirical evidence collected in the field site, the thesis challenges the liberal-democratic view that the implementation of direct village elections and self-governance, which is generally considered to be “village democracy”, has empowered villagers to resist the state and may mark the beginning of a bottom-up democratization in China. In contrast, it argues that even procedurally “free and fair” village elections largely fail to deliver meaningful results, and that village governance, although in the name of self-governance, actually continues to be dominated by the Chinese local state. This is because clientelist structures, embodied in vertical patron-client alliances between political elites and villagers, have strongly influenced the actors and functioned to facilitate and supplement the authoritarian control of the state. The thesis also contests interpretations of village elections and self-governance that stress the state’s formal administrative capacity over controlling and manipulating village politics. While it shows some of the formal mechanisms by which township government control village affairs, it demonstrates also that after the implementation of the “village democracy” the state is still able to maintain its authoritarian capacity by taking advantage of the informal clientelist interaction between local state officials and the village elites.

Abstract:

Ch'ònghak-tong est situé dans le massif des monts Chiri à la limite de trois provinces de la péninsule coréenne. Il reçoit chaque année un grand nombre de touristes (plus de 100. 000 visiteurs payants). Ces derniers viennent des grandes villes à la recherche d'une "tradition perdue", d'un "pays natal" fantasmé par les mass-média. Ce village de montagne, de pauplement récent, a été re-nommé "Village de la Grue bleue", appelation géomantique, lourde de sens dans l'histoire de la Corée. Il est constitué de différents groupes religieux ainsi que ceux qui n'appartiennent à aucun groupe religieux. Les matériaux recueillis au cours de l'enquête de terrain effectuée en été 1999, amènent à étudier la mutation sociale de cette microsociété aui ne cesse de communiquer avec le monde extérieur. Quelle est la structure organisationnelle du village? Comment ces hommes, qui sont venus en ce lieu pour mener à bien une recherche spirituelle, résistent-ils à l'invasion des touristes?
Ch'ònghak-tong is located in the Chiri mountain range on the border of three provinces of the Korean peninsula. Each year, a large number of tourists visit it (more than 1000. 000 paying visitors). They come from the bigger cities in search of a "lost tradition", of a "native land" fantasized by the mass media. This mountain village, of recent settlement, has been renamed "Village of the blue Crane", a geomantic appellation, full of a certain meaning heavily seeped in Korean history. It is made up not only of different religious groups but also of those belonging to no religious group whatsoever. The materials collected during the field-work, investigation of summer 1999, bring us to study the social change of this microsociety in constant communication with the ouside world. What is the organizational structure of the village? How do these men, who came in this place to lead a spiritual research, resist the invasion of tourists?

Abstract:

This thesis studies the building cultures of traditional societies and the ways in which the inhabitants share knowledge as a means to address their needs for meaning and belonging.In specific, it examines the cultural, geographic, historic, and physical aspects of Maloula, an Aramaic village in Syria, to understand the role of the "villager-builder" in making decisions related to the urban form and architecture of the village.It was found that some villager-builders question a number of new design influences and processes in which they themselves engaged. They are critical of the new ideas, technologies, and styles that, in time, came to be seen as significant departures that disconnected the village inhabitants from their shared past, even as these same elements became part of the village's new traditions.Fundamentally, this thesis recognizes the importance of knowledge at all levels; in other words, the problems and solutions found by the villager-builders were and are the common property of all.Research methodology included reading previous studies about Maloula and traveling to Maloula in the summer of 2005 during which time numerous interviews were conducted with local inhabitants, villager-builders, and officials and professional workers in the village. Due to the lack of archives and written documents, this study is based on oral studies, visits to official institutions in Damascus and Maloula, and documentation of the village and its architecture.

Abstract:

Nearly all of the histories of Shays's Rebellion point to debt as the reason why farmers in western Massachusetts rose against the courts and the state government in the fall and winter of 1786-87. Recent scholarship demonstrates a new line of reasoning based on the tax records of those involved. The following thesis, a screenplay, offers a fictional telling of this insurgency. The story is told using language pulled from contemporary letters and documents and follows a line of causation pointing to inequitable state tax structure and poor representation as the provocation. The response that ensued was not a rebellion – it was a Regulation.

Full text

Abstract:

Cette etude examine les formes, les modes et les mecanismes de transformation d'un bourg agricole de la grece du nord en une ville moderne miniere et industrielle (1951-1981). Cette evolution fait suite a la decision de l'etat hellenique apres la seconde guerre mondiale de promouvoir l'electrification nationale en procedant a l'exploitation du bassin de lignite de ptolemais. Suivant l'opinion que l'espace contenant se forme sous le fonctionnement combine de l'economie, de la societe et de l'etat, des hypotheses partielles sont formulees. Les caracteristiques urbaines de l' espace bati de ptolemais, l'accroissement demographique et les changements du comportement demographique apparaissent comme revelateurs et consequences des transformations de l'economie et de la societe locales. Le mecanisme economique s'avere etre le facteur primordial des changements survenus dans la societe et l'espace de ptolemais. La recherche sur place demontre que de 1951 a 1981 l'industrie energetique supplante l'agriculture dans l'economie locale. La profession traditionnelle d'agriculteur est donc remplacee par les emplois salaries attirant des immigrants d'autres localites, de sorte que la population de la ville triple. Il en resulte une mutation de la societe locale par la mobilite des categories socio-professionnelles traditionnelles. .
The present study examines the forms, modes and transformation mechanisms occurring in turning an agricultural village into a contemporaneous mining and industrial town (1951-1981). The evolution concerned results from the hellenic state's post-war decision to promote national electrification proceeds by exploiting ptolemais lignite basin. According to the opinion that containing space is formed under combined functionning of the economy, society and state, partial hypotheseis are formulated. The urban characteristics of ptolemais built space, the demographic increase and changes occurring in the demographic behaviour are considered as detectors and consequences of the local economy and society transformations. The economic mechanism seems to form the principal factor of the ptolemais society and space changes. The local investigation, covering the period 1951-1981, proves that the energy industry puts aside agriculture from the local economy. The traditional agricultural profession is, therefore, replaced by salaried employment which attracts in-migrants from other areas and the town population is trebled. From the factors stated above, a change in the local society is ensued, and this also becomes evident from the live mo. .

Fall, Papa Demba. "Du village à la banlieue : l'évolution des villages Lebou du rivage méridional de Dakar." Paris 10, 1986. http://www.theses.fr/1986PA100058.

Full text

Abstract:

Les lébou du Sénégal constituent une communauté originale en milieu urbain. Ceux qui vivent dans les villages du sud appartiennent certes aux maitres historiques de la presqu'ile du cap vert mais leur poids politique est moindre en raison de leur implantation tardive. En effet, le terme lébou -qui est une création coloniale- ne désigne pas un groupe mais une entité sociale fondée sur une parenté supposée. On peut alors en parler comme une tribu ayant bien des points communs dont on retiendra essentiellement l'orgueil et l'hostilité à l'égard des autres. Outre la formation d'un espace hybride, la croissance périphérique de Dakar fait apparaitre une urbanisation à deux vitesses ou se distinguent deux catégories de banlieusards : d'un côté, les autochtones qui refusent le progrès en ligne droite, de l'autre, les "néo-citadins" qui cherchent par tous les moyens à réussir leur aventure urbaine. Cette situation explique en partie le grand nombre d'occasions manquées par les lebou. Ces paradoxes ou énigmes peuvent être appréciés à travers trois exemples : - le déclin des activités traditionnelles essentiellement lié au "refus" d'investir alors que l'expansion urbaine crée un marché potentiel, - le mauvais usage des capitaux tirés de la vente des terres, - la faiblesse de la représentation lébou dans les activités nouvelles comme l'industrie. On s'étonne alors de voir que les lebou continuent à jouir d'une relative influence malgré leur faible poids économique. Ils le doivent essentiellement à leurs "parents" de Dakar, mais on note ça et la, une remise en cause de l'hégémonie d'antan avec notamment la superposition d'un pouvoir politique d'état au pouvoir politique traditionnel. L'anthropologie du quotidien et l'apprentissage urbain font découvrir toute l'africanité de la ville qui s'exprime à travers les multiples réponses populaires à la sous-intégration et ou à la misère urbaine :"système d","micro-géo-strategies". L'aménagement qui doit avoir pour objectif de réduire la ville à la société et non l'inverse apparait alors comme une entreprise commune à laquelle doivent être associées les populations qui ont une perception propre de leur espace
The Lebou form an original community living in an urban environment. Although those who live in the villages along the southern coast belong to the great historic authority rulers of the Cap vert peninsula, they have a smaller political influence. Actually, the word lebou, a colonial formulation, does not designate a group but a social entity based on an assumed consanguinity. So we can refer to the Lebou as a tribe whose members have several features in common, and among them we shall retain pride and hostility towards outsiders. Besides creating a hybrid space, the periphery growth of Dakar generates urbanization at two levels two categories of suburb dwellers can be distinguished: on one hand, the autochthons that refuse any straight progress, on the other hand, the "neo-city dwellers" who try by all means to live a successful city experience. This explains in part why so many opportunities have been missed by the Lebou. These paradoxical and enigmatical facts can be appraised through three examples: - the decline on traditional activities mainly due to a refusal" to invest while urban growth creates a potential market, - the bad use of capitals drawn from land selling, - the small representation of the Lebou in new activities likes industry. We therefore wonder why the Lebou keep enjoying a relative local influence in spite of their small economic power. They owe it mainly to their relatives living at Dakar. But we notice here and there the questioning of the old hegemony particular through the superposition of state political power on traditional political power. An anthropology of everyday life and city experience help to discover all the africanity of the city. This africanity is expressed through the multifarious ways in which people respond to under-integration and or suburban poverty: "d system", micro- geo-strategies". . . Land management, which has as an objective to adjust the city to society and not the contrary, therefore appears as a common undertaking to which must take part populations who have a singular perception of their space

Abstract:

It is estimated that there are 35.000 villages in Turkey, and a great number of them have their own unofficial web-sites created as a result of individual efforts. The individuals who prepare these web-sites try to connect with the world via the internet, and represent their past with limited information. Pages on these web-sites that are titled "our history" or "our short history" provide some unique historical, cultural, and anthropological information about the villager's life in rural area. This thesis examines amateur historians' methods of reinterpretation in the past, and as such explore Turkish local history from a new point of view.

Abstract:

This thesis subjects the relevance of sovereignty in the context of globalization to critical examination, mindful of the increasing contentions today that sovereignty should either be abandoned or relegated to practical insignificance. Defined as a spatio-temporal revolution whose implications are corrosive of the assumptions upon which modern territorial sovereignty lay, the thesis recognises that sovereignty certainly faces significant challenges. Having subjected this spatio-temporal revolution and its implications for sovereignty to detailed analysis, however, it pursues what might be described as a middle way identifying the ongoing importance of sovereignty but also the urgent need for a measure of reconceptualisation. In the first instance the thesis observes that, whilst the reality of a growing extra-territorial realm is beyond question, it coexists with territoriality and thus territorial sovereignty rather than displacing it. Indeed the thesis argues that the extra-territorial realm depends on sovereign territoriality in many different ways, especially in terms of legitimacy. In the second instance, however, whilst state sovereignty is not displaced by the spatio-temporal revolution its influence is most certainly eroded. Furthermore, the reality of extra-territorial flows means that there can be no doubt that, whilst sovereignty remains a significant concept, it will be the source of much distortion if it fails to recognise those flows. This thesis responds to these observations pursuing the reconceptualisation of sovereignty in search of a new form of 'open sovereignty'. In rising to this challenge it provides a critique both of those seeking to jettison sovereignty or relegate it to insignificance and those who maintain that globalization has no impact on sovereignty. In pursuing this course the thesis exploits the spatio-temporal hermeneutic of traditional Welsh nationalism which, recognizing the new temporality of globalization in the context of an enduring spatial orientation, provides a significant conceptual frame for IR in the 21st century.

Abstract:

This master’s thesis is written in collaboration with Village Telco. VillageTelco is a grass root solution for establishing communication whereno other can or are willing to do so. The business has developed theMeshPotato, a wireless access point, which uses standard Wi-Fi technologycombined with open-source telephony software and a state of the artmesh protocol, to provide low-cost telephony. Today, Village Telco serveas a hardware provider. The master’s thesis provides a background studyof Village Telco, the technology that Village Telco uses and some of theVillage Telco networks that exist in the world today. An Excel model forcalculating threshold values for sustainable businesses have been made,and a new business model for Village Telco is proposed. The aim for thenew business model is that Village Telco can serve as a service providerin addition to selling hardware.The main methods used for this thesis are Skype meetings with peoplein the Village Telco community, literature study, case studies of existingbusiness models and mathematical calculations. For the case studies, andthe proposal of the new business model, Osterwalder’s business modelcanvas have been used as a tool.The Excel model that has been made can be a helpful basis for a morecomplex service for the local entrepreneurs in the future. The studies ofother business models shows that customer relationships and partneringwith other telcos are the two most important aspects to consider forVillage Telco as a service provider. Other factors are optional, and thereare many possible combinations of solutions for how Village Telco canserve as service provider and which services they may provide.

Abstract:

There is a need to counteract economic injustice in the world. As an architect, as a creator, it is my responsibility to make the world a better place. I want to help people to help themselves by concentrating their efforts in a constructive way. I desire to create a prototypical solution for a village in an area with high unemployment and desperate poverty as a means to give work to people and to serve as an example for other groups of people wanting to do the same. The site I've chosen to illustrate this concept of self-help housing is a 300 x 500 meter plateau in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
