Texto completoThe dissertation examines the early career of the painter Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767-1824) : his activity from the beginning of his Parisian studies in 1774 until his first professional commission in 1800. Two principal aspects of his early work are examined : the ambitions Girodet brought to these years of apprenticeship and experimentation (which he knew would not be long-lasting), and the favorable consequences of the French Revolution (a unique historical moment) on his artistic audacity. The essay is divided into nine chapters which reconstitute the life of the young painter (his most decisive encounters with other artists are considered, his aesthetic investigations are identified, the material conditions of his life and his social network are explored) and two final chapters analyze his style, both on the formal and the thematic level. The catalogue of 144 entries is at once the foundation of the essay and its indispensable complement

Texto completoThis mini-thesis thesis intends to grapple with silences by looking the possibilities of reconceptualising archives through notions of “traces,” “absence,” and “fragments.” Examining archives as bodies of knowledge, a window to telling us something about pastpresent- future representations is to think about navigating archives of colonialism and slavery as sites of historical memory. The aim of this paper is to enter the pedagogical problem of remembering and gendered representational voids by seeking to explore how artistic representations offer insights in the absence of detail in the colonial archives. In exploring the relationship between bodies, remembering and the historical trauma of slavery and colonialisation, specifically in relation to historical corporeal and flesh narratives attached to indigenous black women, and how women negotiate these meanings through embodied interventions in (post-) slavery South Africa. The positioning of the body as an archive probes questions on how the memory of traumatic wounding in a (post-)slavery South Africa body politics are inscribed to convey meaning, memory and identity. The notions of embodiment that this thesis is concerned with asks in what ways can we creatively and imaginatively re-construct, outside of conventional historiographies and knowledge(s), that which has been disembowled through colonial dominating narratives of enslaved subjects?

Texto completoAbstract
The behavior for MoSi2 based high temperature heating elements for resistive heating has been examined in elevated temperature and low oxygen content environment. MoSi2 spontaneously forms a protective SiO2 scale at high temperature if the amount of oxygen in the ambient atmosphere is sufficient according to the following reaction:
5MoSi2 + 7O2(g) 7SiO2 + Mo5Si3
If the oxygen content at a specific temperature is too low, SiO(g) is more stable than SiO2 and the following reaction will occur instead:
2SiO2 2SiO(g) + O2(g)
Then surface will be Si-deplated and finally, the base material will be exposed. Si and Mo will oxidize and degas from the surface as SiO and MoO3 with severe diameter reduction of the heating element as a result. It is therefore of high interest to find the relationship between the maximum element temperature and the oxygen content in the ambient atmosphere to be able to fully exploit the potential of the heating elements and also to aid and help diagnose customer complaints.
After 14 full scale tests in a custom made atmospheric furnace, the following equation could be calculated:
p(O2) = 1.748·100.01677·T·log(e)-10
The equation gives the minimum oxygen content at a specified temperature. The equation is based on 100 hours tests at atmospheric pressure, gas flow rate of 4 liter per minute, varying temperature and varying oxygen content. Nitrogen has been used as carrier gas for the oxygen.

Texto completoThe first romanticism at the turn of the 19th century would be the successor to Rousseauism. However, we believe this translates into a radical break between the idea of nature as understood in the 18th century and the idea of landscape as expressed by the young writers in the 1800s. Until the Revolution, the idea of nature is still considered as the ideal setting for potential happiness, as evidenced, even on the ground, by landscape designers at the end of the former Regime. From the regular garden to the landscaped garden, landscape was only ever designed as a background. In the wake of the Revolution, landscape takes on a whole new meaning. It is no longer the divine setting where the intelligent man flourishes, but becomes the sublime figure of a new relationship that the man has with himself. Representations of the Enlightenment culture were based on transcendence and verticality; these give way to representations of romantic thought, built on immanence and horizontality.Thus elevated to the status of concept, the landscape gives rise to a new relationship with time and space, redefines the view point and the horizon and prioritises the relationship on the essence. We believe that this transformation of representations, which heralds the entry into the modern era, is the most profound effect of the upheaval caused by the Revolution. Our thesis claims that it is important to talk about the emergence of a landscape ideology for these 1800s if we are to understand what leads not only to the literature of Senancour, Germaine de Staël and Chateaubriand, but also the philosophy of Destutt de Tracy and Maine de Biran as well as the growth in the physical sciences, with Georges Cuvier, and the human sciences, with Jean-Baptiste Say, to quote our principal authors

Texto completoIt is well known that American botanist Asa Gray's 1859 paper on the floristic similarities between Japan and the United States was among the earliest applications of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory in plant geography. Commonly known as Gray's "disjunction thesis," Gray's diagnosis of that previously inexplicable pattern not only provoked his famous debate with Louis Agassiz but also secured his role as the foremost advocate of Darwin and Darwinism in the United States. Making use of previously unknown archival materials, this dissertation examines the making of Gray's disjunction thesis and its relation to his collecting networks. I first point out that, as far back as the 1840s, Gray had identified remarkable "analogies" between the flora of East Asia and that of North America. By analyzing Gray and his contemporaries' "free and liberal exchange of specimens," I argue that Gray at the time was convinced that "a particular plan" existed in nature, and he considered that the floristic similarities between Japan and eastern North America manifested this plan. In the 1850s, when Gray applied himself to enumerating collections brought back by professional collectors supported by the subscription system and appointed in governmental surveying expeditions, his view of nature was then replaced by one that regarded the flora as merely "a catalogue of species." I argue that it was by undertaking the manual labor of cataloging species and by charging subscription fees for catalogued species that Gray established his status as a metropolitan botanist and as the "mint" that produced species as a currency for transactions in botanical communities. Finally, I examine the Gray-Darwin correspondence in the 1850s and the expedition that brought Gray's collector to Japan. I argue that Gray's thesis cannot be considered Darwinian as historians of science have long understood the term, and that its conception was part of the United States' scientific imperialism in East Asia. In light of recent studies focusing on the history of field sciences, this dissertation urges that a close examination of a biogeographical discovery like Gray's thesis is impossible without considering the institutional, cultural, and material aspects that tie the closets of naturalists to the field destinations of collectors.

Texto completoTaking into account the poetical categories in use at the end of the 19th century, this dissertation examines some of the options chosen and worked by the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Darío (1867-1916) in order to satisfy and, at the same time, expand the diverse demands of his contemporary readers. We have centered upon artifice and versatility as key elements by which the poet managed to receive his public\'s applause. Chapter I begins with the current state of the reception of Darío\'s poetry in order to investigate the origins of the process of a historical constitution of his poetical authority, focusing mainly on certain issues which lay on the base of his first reception in America as well as in Europe. In chapter II, we have studied two relevant categories for a historical comprehension of this poetry: elegance (a representative precept appropriate to the insertion of poetry into the refined and ultra-civilized practices of the late 1800s) and harmony (an element of style which operated not only for the phonic level of poetry, for the sonorous beauty, but also for syntax, for metaphor, metrics, versification, choice of themes and subjects, etc.). In chapter III, the analysis of selected poems aims at unveiling the relevance of our methodology through identifying the uses of elegance and harmony in three diverse genres practiced by Darío: the laudatory, the epistles in verse, and the \"visions\", related more closely to the poetics called by the name of \"symbolist\". Chapter IV deals critically with the notion of musicality, expanding it in order to explain a series of procedures and techniques through which we are able to differentiate more clearly between personal choices and the elements which were common to the poetical practices of the poet\'s time.

Texto completoDuring the last half of the nineteenth century, American sportsmen-artists painted hunting-related images that were designed to promote the ideals of sporting behavior, conservationist thought, and the interests of elite sportsmen against non-elite hunters. Upper-class American attitudes regarding common hunters and trappers, the politics of land use, and the role of conservation in recreational hunting played a significant part in the construction of visual art forms during this period, art which, in turn, helped shape national dialogue on the protection and acceptable uses of wildlife.
This dissertation takes issues critical to mid-century American conservation thought and agendas, and investigates how they were embodied in American hunting art of the time. Beginning with depictions of recreational sportsmen during the era of conservationist club formation (mid-1840s), the discussion moves to representations of the lone trapper at mid-century. These figures were initially represented as a beneficial force in the conquest of the American frontier, but trappers and backwoodsmen became increasingly problematic due to an apparent disregard for game law and order. I explore the ways in which market hunting was depicted, and how it was contrasted with acceptable "sportsmanlike" hunting methods. Subsequent chapters consider the portrayal of the boy hunter, an essential feature to the sportsman's culture and its continuance, and the tumultuous relationship between elite sportsmen and their guides, who were known to illegally hunt off-season. The last chapters address the subject of the wild animal as heroic protagonist and dead game still life paintings, a pictorial type that represented the lifestyle of sportsmen and their concern for conservative catches and adherence to game law. Developments in conservation during the period were significantly tied to class and elitist aspirations, and artist-sportsmen merged these social prejudices with their agenda for game conservation. Their representations of hunting art both responded to and promoted the conservationist cause.

Texto completoThroughout the Portuguese-Brazilian 19th century, the biography of the poet Luís Vaz de Camões emerges, repeated times, as the main topic of fictional texts belonging to different literary genres. In the Portugal of the 1800s , the assumption of the decaying state of the Portuguese nation, together with the restauration of the national greatness, reclaims Camoes as the symbol of a lost past, whose glory they aim to resurrect. In the recently independent Brazil, literary recreations of the classical Portuguese poets biography denote the establishment of a complex relation in what concerns the national letters and the cultural European matrixes. The analysis of the selected literary texts has the intention of integrating, under the perspective of literary comparatism, texts, authors and genre to the unifying axels of the fictional procedures that represent the tradition of the biographical resonance related to Camoes. The dialogue between Literature and History, on the other hand, leads to the designing of the fictional universes originated from the biographical elements, with which due to the creative freedom of the artistic action and to the influences of the ideologies and of the imaginary-, the artist works. The observational cut of the research is set, to a great extent, at the temporal period of the Romantic period, starting in 1825, with the inaugural poem of the Portuguese Romanticism (Camões, by Almeida Garrett) , up to the celebrations of the third centenary of Camoes death, in 1880 (being this the year when plays by Gomes Leal, Cipriano Jardim and Machado de Assis become known to the public). In what concerns Portugal, the 1870s are witnesses to the development of esthetical ideals of the Realism, with consequences to the configuration of the worship of Luís Vaz de Camões, used fictional and critically by Camilo Castelo Branco. Therefore, both in Brazil and Portugal, between 1825 and 1880, a specific treatment of Camoess image could be observed, initially idealized according to the Romantic values (plays written by Luís Antônio Burgain, Casimiro de Abreu e Antônio Feliciano de Castilho are examples), in a process that takes us to the definite consolidation of the myth towards Camoes in two countries connected by the colonial past and a common cultural tradition , as well.
Rasekh, Muhammad Salih. "A Study of the Turkmen Dialects of Afghanistan". Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/18009.
Texto completoThe Turkmen dialects of Afghanistan have for the first time been made the object of a special comprehensive study which, on the basis of rich primary materials collected from the field, is investigating their phonological, morphological and lexical features. The study is supplemented with sociolinguistic observations which help positioning the Turkmen dialects within the linguistic universe of Afghanistan today. The Turkmen dialects of Afghanistan basically fall into two major groups which in this study, following the emic denominations, are being called xāliṣ und nāxāliṣ dialects. As the study demonstrates, the dialects are almost without exceptions deliminated not along geographical or regional lines but along the major ethnic delimitations. Phonology is the prime marker of dialect delimitation. Consequently, this study pays particular attention to phonological markers. On the other hand there is only little variation in morphology; only the nāxāliṣ dialects do not completely share these paradigms. Verbal morphology, which appears to depict more variation, has for reasons of feasibility not been included in this study. In the lexicology chapter several exemplary subfields of the Turkmen dialect lexicon (such as kinship terminology) are investigated in depth; this part of the study yields interesting, partly unexpected results. The sociolinguistic chapters, which for capacity reasons are again dealing with selected aspects only, focus on the role of gender, age, social status and regional attribution of the speakers as markers of distinction. The position of the Turkmen dialects within the wide and complex spectrum of high and low prestige idioms present in North Afghanistan is measured against the supreme language of interethnic communication, education and the media (Dari) as well as the omnipresent language of regional communication (Uzbek), and neighboring Pashto; due to migration, educational and business contacts and the media, and favored by its linguistic closeness to Turkmen, the Turkish language of Turkey has recently become an important contact language as well. All phenomena investigated in this study are derived from a wealth of field materials. By presenting many of these while illustrating the features discussed in the chapters, this study provides fresh material from an almost inaccessible area for linguistic investigations beyond the scope of this book.
Schindler, Jana. "Sustainability impact assessment for improved food security. The benefit of local stakeholder participation". Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/18000.
Texto completoFood security remains a major challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa. Sustainable agricultural development is fundamental for food security and poverty alleviation, notably in developing countries. Many development initiatives focus on enhancing smallholder production because the majority of poor people in developing countries live in rural areas where agriculture is the main source of livelihood. However, the consequences of these development initiatives are often diverse, having intended effects as well as unforeseen adverse impacts. Therefore, there is a need to assess development strategies/projects prior to their implementation to reduce the risk of possible negative impacts and to allow for adjustments, if necessary. This can be achieved by applying ex-ante sustainability impact assessment. The theoretical discourse on ex-ante sustainability impact assessment is comprehensive, emphasising the equal integration of all three sustainability dimensions (social, economic and environmental), the active involvement of stakeholders at every step of the assessment process and a focus on exchange and learning among the involved stakeholders. In practice, local communities are rarely involved in ex-ante impact assessment. Moreover, despite a strong emphasis on their involvement in theory, there remains a lack of easily applicable frameworks for sustainability impact assessment. Hence, there are only few concrete case studies having analysed the value added by applying sustainability impact assessment with local stakeholders and its benefit for planning agricultural measures to enhance food security and sustainable development. This PhD thesis closes the gap by developing and applying an ex-ante impact assessment approach that is based upon the Framework for Participatory Impact Assessment (FoPIA) method and is applicable at small-scale farmer level in the development context. The framework was applied to assess the sustainability of upgrading strategies along the farmers’ food value chains to improve food security in rural Tanzania at four contrasting case study villages in the semi-arid Dodoma Region and the semi-humid Morogoro Region.

Texto completoThis dissertation challenges the traditional histories of rhetoric in early America by examining how Scottish Enlightenment rhetoric affected those outside of the white, male-dominated social hierarchy of the early eighteenth century through an examination of works by white women, Native Americans, and African Americans that confluence around national calls for Native American removal and African colonization. Scholars have shown the influence of Scottish Enlightenment rhetoric on the early Republic, specifically the rhetoric of George Campbell and Hugh Blair, and historians have shown the relationships between abolitionists, Native Americans, and African Americans during the nineteenth century. However, these scholars have not shown how writers deployed Scottish Enlightenment rhetoric in these debates. By examining writings by Lydia Maria Child and Catharine Maria Sedgwick, I show how both women incorporated the ideas of sympathy in their works about Native Americans and African Americans. I also explore how activists such as William Apess, David Walker, and Hosea Easton all implemented Campbell's rhetorical ideas into their arguments and discuss how their rhetorical practices can be seen in relationship to one another. Drawing on Blair's thoughts on taste, I explore how newspaper editors John Russwurm and Elias Boudinot viewed taste and how they presented their views to their African American and Cherokee readers respectively. Looking forward, I conclude with a brief examination of the poet Albery Allson Whitman who wrote epic poems centered on the confluence of Native American and African American experiences. Overall, this dissertation works to show how those outside of the social hierarchy wielded rhetorical principles taught in the hallowed halls of the university, and it also explores the understudied links between activists who fought for Native American and African American rights during the early nineteenth century.
