Abstract:
This thesis is a broadly chronological study of representations of Japan and the Japanese in Australian novels, stories and memoirs from the late nineteenth century to the twenty-first century. Adopting Edward Said???s Orientalist notion of the `Other???, it attempts to elaborate patterns in which Australian authors describe and evaluate the Japanese. As well as examining these patterns of representation, this thesis outlines the course of their development and change over the years, how they relate to the context in which they occur, and how they contribute to the formation of wider Australian views on Japan and the Japanese. The thesis considers the role of certain Australian authors in formulating images and ideas of the Japanese ???Other???. These authors, ranging from fiction writers to journalists, scholars and war memoirists, act as observers, interpreters, translators, and sometimes ???traitors??? in their cross-cultural interactions. The thesis includes work from within and outside ???mainstream??? writings, thus expanding the contexts of Australian literary history. The major ???periods??? of Australian literature discussed in this thesis include: the 1880s to World War II; the Pacific War; the post-war period; and the multicultural period (1980s to 2000). While a comprehensive examination of available literature reveals the powerful and continuing influence of the Pacific War, images of ???the stranger???, ???the enemy??? and later ???the ally??? or ???partner??? are shown to vary according to authors, situations and wider international relations. This thesis also examines gender issues, which are often brought into sharp relief in cross-cultural representations. While typical East-West power-relationships are reflected in gender relations, more complex approaches are also taken by some authors. This thesis argues that, while certain patterns recur, such as versions of the ???Cho-Cho-San??? or ???Madame Butterfly??? story, Japan-related works have given some Australian authors, especially women, opportunities to reveal more ???liberated??? viewpoints than seemed possible in their own cultural context. As the first extensive study of Japan in Australian literary consciousness, this thesis brings to the surface many neglected texts. It shows a pattern of changing interests and interactions between two nations whose economic interactions have usually been explored more deeply than their literary and cultural relations.

Abstract:
Canada's declaration of war in 1939 resulted in the creation of a "total war" economy that necessitated the absorption of all available men, and led to the wide scale recruitment of women into the military and labour force. The end of the war resulted in government and media encouragement to return to the home, but despite this emphasis on home and family, many women developed a two-phase work history. In this thesis, I use the oral history of sixteen Southern Alberta women to analyze the effect of World War II on Southern Alberta women's work and family choices, focusing specifically on the years between 1939 and 1959. I argue that, although the war did not significantly change the status of women in the paid workforce, it did affect the geographic mobility of women and the perception of their own work, both paid and unpaid.

Abstract:
This essay is about women's role during the second world war, which occurred 1939-1945.Throughout the beginning of the war Sweden was one of the few countries that remainedneutral. Women in Sweden had an important part in the war effort, and a large number ofmarried and unmarried women recruited into different jobs, left by men. Throughout the warwomen were expected to mobilize themselves on the homefront. The purpose of this essay isto understand women's role in a popular swedish women's magazine, Husmodern.Advertisement and other kind of propaganda was provided during the war, one of the reasonwas to target women on the home front. But it was also a way to reach women and placeresponsibilities on them. My aim is to understand how the swedish magazine Husmodernportrayed women's role and responsibilities during the war. The conclusion of my study isthat women had an important role in Sweden, during the war. Women were expected to doeverything but in other terms. Already when the war was coming to an end, women whorecruited into different jobs and the women who worked diligently on the homefront, wereexpected to take the role and responsibilities of a housewife.

Abstract:
Stimulated by a pronouncement of Joan Beaumont that prisoners of war are a neglected subject of historical inquiry this thesis undertakes an empirical and analytical study concerning this topic. Within the context of the prisoner of war experience in the history of the 2/11th Infantry Battalion during the Second World War, it puts a case for including non-operational strands of warfare in the body of Australian official military history. To facilitate this contention the study attempts to show the reasons for which historians might study the scope and range of the prisoner of war experience. Apart from describing the context and aims of the study, the paper utilizes Abraham Maslow's theory of a hierarchy of needs to highlight the plight of prisoners of war. Amongst the issues explored are themes of capture, incarceration and recovery. Suggestions are made to extend the base of volunteer soldiers curriculum in favour of a greater understanding of the prisoner of war and an awareness that rank has its privileges. In addition to the Official Records from the Australian War Memorial, evidence for the study has been drawn mainly from the archive of the 2/11th Infantry Battalion, Army Museum of Western Australia, catalogued by the writer as a graduate student, December 1992, and military literature that were readily available in Perth. At every opportunity the men are allowed to speak for themselves thus numerous and often lengthy quotations are included.

Abstract:
Throughout history women have shown a willingness to participate actively in the defence of their country, home, and beliefs, and gave lie to the assertion that they were intrinsically less able than men when it came to achieving the ends through violent means. As Western civilization progressed however, women became restricted to ???womanly??? duties and separated from the official military sphere. The power to make war became exclusively men???s. In Australia immigration patterns, geographic features, and a particular historical period combined to create a virulently male dominated society. This was particularly apparent in the armed services. Australia did not allow women to enlist in its defence forces until 1941, a time of unprecedented national peril. Female volunteers were the final option. The Women???s Services were disbanded following World War II and not re-established until the armed forces again could not fulfil their defence commitment. The Royal Australian navy was the last service to permit a female branch, and between 1942 and 1960 the development of the Women???s Royal Australian Naval Service was inhibited by both societal values and attitudes and the traditions and priorities of the Navy.

Abstract:
World War II was a time of great changes. Many aspects of American society underwent profound shifts but one predominant part of American culture did not change -- theaccepted roles of women. The government documentary films of World War II reveal attitudes, ideas, and assumptions which not only reinforced traditional roles but also reflected theresistance to gender-role alterations. Women during the war were not only shaped by such cultural messages but many subscribed to them wholeheartedly. The films emphasize twospecific images of women -- Susie Homemaker and Rosie the Riveter -- and also reflect society's image of women as homemakers first and war workers second. This double vision,reflected throughout the documentary films became the catalyst which maintained women in traditional roles and, in turn, rejected attempts to alter those roles in any significant way.This study uses the vehicle of World War II documentaryfilms, utilizing the World War II Historical Film Collection, Bracken Library, Ball State University (the largest collection outside the National Archives), the Office of War Information papers, and extensive secondary research, to investigate the images of women during the war years.

Full text
Abstract:
Historians have largely ignored the importance of relationships in war, particularly at a grass roots level. Examining the past from a relational point of view provides a new perspective on war not accessible through other forms of analysis. A relational approach to a study of the campaigns in Greece and Crete helps to explain, amongst other issues, why so many Australian lives were saved. Australians entered Greece with little background knowledge of the country and the people they were required to defend. There was no serious consultation with the Australian government apart from the cursory briefing of its Prime Minister. Although Britain had numerous intelligence officers operating on the ground in Greece prior and during the campaign, little information about the true political situation in the country had filtered through to the Australian high command. This placed the troops in a very vulnerable position on the Greek frontier and, later, on Crete. Military interaction with the Greeks proved difficult, as key officers from the Greek General Staff and senior government ministers did not intend to fight the Germans. As a result, little coordination took place between the Australian and Greek forces hindering the development of a successful working relationship. Conversely, relations with the Greek people were very amicable with many Greeks risking their lives to help Australian troops. The altruism of the Greeks was one of the most striking features of the Greek and Crete campaigns. Unlike Egypt, where the Australians felt alienated by the values and customs of the Egyptian people, in Greece they warmed to the behaviour of the Greeks. Although they did not speak the same language nor share a similar culture, they had many characteristics in common with the Greeks whose strong sense of loyalty to their allies really impressed the Australians. On their part, the Australians displayed respect for the values and customs of the Greek people. Through their interaction during the war, the Greeks came to regard the Australians, not only as friends, but also as brothers, forging an intimate relationship that has been incorporated in the social memory of both countries.

Full text
Abstract:
Des femmes épurées en France à la Libération, la mémoire collective ne semble retenir que l’image des tondues. Or, il existe incontestablement un « moment 1945 » dans le rapport des femmes à la justice. En effet, alors qu’elles représentent traditionnellement 10 % de la population jugée au pénal, elles comptent pour 25 % de la population jugée pour faits de collaboration. Mais ce « moment 1945 » se vérifie-t-il dans le rapport que les femmes entretiennent avec la peine de mort, une peine qui les concerne de façon marginale depuis la fin du XIXe siècle ? C’est à cette question que ce travail, organisé autour de trois grands axes, entend répondre. Après une introduction qui s’attache notamment à présenter les contours d’un corpus inédit, une première partie explore l’archipel judiciaire épuratoire. Cette analyse permet non seulement de tracer la frontière entre juridictions extralégales et juridictions légales mais aussi de mieux connaître les procédures suivies à l’encontre des accusées. Une seconde partie explore les différents types de collaboration. Tout en revisitant la figure de la délatrice comme stéréotype de la collaboration au féminin, elle étudie également le monde du collaborationnisme, longtemps considéré comme uniquement masculin car il suppose une forme d’engagement au service de l’ennemi. Après avoir dressé le portrait de groupe des condamnées, la dernière partie examine la façon dont celles-ci vivent leur épuration, que ce soit lors d’une éventuelle fuite, du procès ou de l’exécution de leur peine. Ainsi, cette thèse apporte à trois grandes historiographies : celle des femmes et du genre, celle de la justice et celle de la collaboration
When trying to think of French women having been purged during the Liberation, our collective memory can only remember the women who had been shaved. Yet there is without a single doubt a « 1945 time » in the relationship that women have with our legal system. Indeed, while they usually represent 10 % of the people judged in criminal courts, they represent 25 % of the people judged for collaboration. But is it relevant to talk about a « 1945 Time » in the relationship that women have with death penalty, especially since few women have been sentenced to death since the late 19th century ? This work is divided in three parts and shall try and find the answer to this question. After an introduction which will present a hitherto unseen corpus, the first part of this work shall examine the purging judiciary archipelago. This analysis will not only draw a boundary between extralegal jurisdiction and legal jurisdiction, but it will also help us know better the charges held against the accused women. A second part will investigate the various types of collaboration. While taking another look at the female informer as a stereotype of the female collaboration, it will also study the world of the collaborationists, considered for long as a man’s world because collaborating implies a form of dedication towards the enemy. Once it has drawn the group portrait of the convicted women, the last part of this work will focus on the way these women deal with their being purged, through their potential escape, through the trial or through the execution of their sentence.This is how this thesis will make its contribution to three great historiographies : the women and the gender’s one, the justice’s one, and the collaboration’s one

Full text
Abstract:
Using South Australia as a case study, this thesis explores how wartime constructions of gender affected the experiences of civilian women during World War II. Internationally, World War II historiography is at a crucial juncture, more likely than ever to acknowledge that the war’s social and economic effects cannot be understood without reference to gender. This thesis situates itself within this body of literature to explain how feminine norms were defined and enforced by the press, government, employers and other institutions between 1939-45, and how these shaped women’s responses and experiences of the war. It argues that wartime constructions of womanhood aimed to maintain traditional gender relations, but that sometimes women adapted these gendered expectations to make their own social, economic and personal gains. In doing so, it demonstrates the pervasiveness and power of gendered discourses, which were ubiquitous to all areas of women’s wartime lives, including their employment in civilian industries, involvement in wartime voluntary work, the regulation of their behaviour and sexuality, and in the treatment of those deemed enemy aliens. My focus on civilian women re-balances popular and academic studies that draw inordinately on the experiences of servicewomen, who, despite now dominating the public imagination of Australian women at war, constituted a small fraction of Australia’s total female population. My thesis also reveals compelling reasons to focus on South Australia. Despite rapid wartime industrialisation, it retained a highly gendered division of labour. Women’s workplace participation increased in South Australia between 1939-45, but not at a rate consonant with the popular claim that the war marked a watershed for women. Their employment in munitions factories and the Australian Women’s Land Army (AWLA) was frustrated by inadequate pay and substandard working conditions. Outside of work, South Australian women married and had children earlier and at a higher rate than those in other states and had a minimal presence in the state’s post-war workforce. My thesis considers why these circumstances existed and what they add to our knowledge of women’s experiences of World War II overall, illuminating the function of gender in ways that previous overviews of women on the home front have not.

Abstract:
The Second World War marked the point at which South Africa stood at a crossroads between the segregation which came before it and apartheid that came after. Over the past twenty years social historians have placed greater focus on this particular period of the Second World War in South Africa's history. This thesis takes this research as its starting point but moves beyond their more specific objectives (evident in the research on the war and medical services) to explore the South African experience of race and gender and, to some extent, class during the war and the immediate post-war era. This thesis has accorded this some importance due to the state's attempts, during and after the war, to control and mediate the war experience of its participants as well as the general public. Propaganda and war experience are thus key themes in this dissertation. This thesis argues that the war and the upheaval it wrought allowed for a re-imagining of a new post-war South Africa, however tentatively, that departed from the racial and gendered inequality of the past. This thesis traces the way in which the exodus of white men to the frontlines allowed white women to take up new positions in industry and in the auxiliary services. Similarly for the duration of the war black men — and women - were able to take advantage of the relaxation of influx control laws and the new job opportunities opening up to move in greater numbers to the urban areas. As this thesis has shown, black men were able to take advantage of the opportunity to prove their loyalty by enlisting in the various branches of the Non-European Army Services. This allowed them to work alongside white men and was integral in their demands for equal participation which signified equal citizenship. The way in which the war has been remembered and commemorated as well as the expectations and silences around the potential for liberation which the war symbolised for many South Africans, has been largely unexplored. This was pardy due to the memorialisation of the war taking on a private, personal and hence, hidden aspect. This thesis examines this memorialisation in its broadest sense, particularly as it applies to black men, their families and their communities. The thesis concludes by arguing that, by 1948, the possibilities for a new South Africa had been closed down and would remain so for almost fifty years. The Second World War was relegated to personal memory and public commemoration as the "last good war", a poignant reminder of a vision of equality which was not to be.

Abstract:
This dissertation analyzes visual representations of Canadian women war workers during the Second World War, examining the intersections of labour, gender, beauty culture, bodies, media, consumer culture, advertising, class, whiteness, and sexuality featured in these images. It argues that without considering each of these themes, it is impossible to fully understand wartime representations of women workers. In examining these intersections, the dissertation highlights the power of visual representations and demonstrates the key roles of beauty culture and heterosexuality in munitions plants. By comparing images of women war workers in nationally-circulated magazines and advertisements, locally-produced newsletters from three southern Ontario war plants, archival photos, and newspaper coverage of the Miss War Worker beauty contest, this study shows that the beautiful woman war worker was a visual icon who symbolized the tensions, worries, and hopes around labour, beauty, and femininity, in wartime as well as in the postwar period, when war workers’ presumed next step into white motherhood was of particular importance to the national project. Women workers were constantly encouraged and pressured to engage with beauty culture and participate in self-fashioning. Probing the relationship between how war workers were depicted and what they experienced points to the power of images as well as the opportunities women had to exercise agency by pushing back against visual ideals as well as by emulating them.
