Durie, Bruce. "Bringing history to the public via genealogy and family history". Thesis, University of Strathclyde, 2011. http://oleg.lib.strath.ac.uk:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=23881.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Genealogy is at the cusp of acceptance as an academic discipline. However, there are no peer-reviewed scholarly journals in which to publish the outcome of research into, and upon, genealogy per se. While genealogy shares many techniques and attributes with history as a subject of study, it is wider in both investigation and impact. Popular and scholarly history have much to gain by including the skills and methods of the genealogical researcher. One option is to present genealogy, history and biography as popular, mass-market books. The two-fold aspiration is (1) that the public will be drawn to an understanding of history and the place of genealogy in historical researches, and (2) that history professionals will understand and apply the methodologies of genealogy to both popular and scholarly history publishing. Using the currently-popular genealogy and local/personal history as the "draw", it is possible to interest and educate the public in historical and social matters. The same is achieved by linking biography and genealogy to popular literature. The overall impact on public understanding, it is suggested, is far greater than would be achieved by any trickle-down effect from more conventional scholarly publishing. (This would be a valid contention to test by research, but no claim is made here that it has been investigated other than by anecdotal reports). It is proposed that the publications submitted for consideration form a coherent body of work in that they demonstrate the value of genealogical methodology and research skills in aeras as apparently diverse and literary biography and local history; that their intellectual merit resides in bringing new information to light and applying that to the better understand of people, places, events; and that there is a contribution to knowledge thereby. That this knowledge now resides in a "popular" public domain is not to its detriment: rather, it renders it more valuable, and in any case it is not hidden from specialist examination by being out in the wild. The publications submitted make explicit the key skills of learning and research at doctoral level, including analysis, creativity, criticality, discrimination, evaluation, research management and synthesis, and that the candidate is a competent researcher who knows the subjects and can plan, implement and evaluate research activities.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
As interest in family history research increases, greater numbers of amateurs are participating in genealogy. However, finding sources that provide useful information on individuals in genealogical research is often an overwhelming task, even for experts. Many tools assist genealogists in their work, including many computer-based systems. Prior to this work, recommender systems had not yet been applied to genealogy, though their ability to navigate patterns in large amounts of data holds great promise for the genealogical domain. We create the Family History Source Recommender System to mimic human behavior in locating sources of genealogical information. The recommender system is seeded with existing source data from the FamilySearch database. The typical recommender systems algorithms are not designed for family history work, so we adjust them to fit the problem. In particular, recommendations are created for deceased individuals, with multiple users being able to consume the same recommendations. Additionally, our similarity computation takes into account as much information about individuals as possible in order to create connections that would otherwise not exist. We use offline n-fold cross-validation to validate the results. The system provides results with high accuracy.

Reiser, Matthew L. "Exploring Genealogical Roots and Family History and Their Influence on College Student Development: A Qualitative Study". BYU ScholarsArchive, 2012. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/3356.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Family genealogy research has grown exponentially over the past decade, making it an area worthy of scholarly inquiry (Smith, 2010). Genealogy is now one of the world's most popular hobbies, with hundreds of millions of people worldwide actively engaged in some form of family research (Veale, 2004). In the United States, there has recently been a significant increase in the interest of searching out one's genealogical roots (Triseliotis, 1998). For most young people, the years from late teens to early twenties represent a period of profound change (Arnett, 2000). Many young adults search for and solidify their identity during the years they attend college (Muuss, 1996). Few research studies have examined the experience of searching one's genealogy and the impact it might have on college student development. This study focused on the experiences of college students who were searching their own personal ancestry in an undergraduate class on family history/genealogy. Participants reported that researching their family history (a) ignited or intensified a strong interest in genealogical research, (b) developed connections, closeness, and bonds to ancestors which motivated them in their lives, (c) discovered shared physical and personality characteristics, (d) impacted their current relationships with living relatives, (e) stimulated spiritual experiences, and (f) influenced their identity development.

Friday, Kate. "Learning from e-family history : online research behaviour and strategies of family historians and implications for local studies collections". Thesis, Robert Gordon University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10059/734.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The massive expansion of electronic resources has been identified as one of the major drivers behind the ‘explosion’ in the popularity of family history, which bring ease, convenience and accessibility to some parts of the research process. Amongst this expanse of easily-accessible raw materials, online local studies materials (recording both historical and contemporary aspects of a community) can add real context and value to researchers’ findings and experience; turning a genealogy into a family history. However, the vast majority of these do not appear visible to online family history researchers. Through three central foci (users, e-family history resources, and Local Studies Collections), this research investigates these resources and collections from the perspective of users, to establish how to make the added value of the local studies collections more visible and encourage increased engagement for those who cannot visit collections in person. Specific evaluative criteria for e-family history resources are presented, contributing to practitioners’ awareness and understanding of their nature; in turn helping maintain their service quality to researchers. Using a hybrid (primarily ethnographic) research approach, the study also examines the online research behaviour of family historians, identifying a taxonomy of actions (seeking of genealogical facts, local or social history; communicating with other researchers or resources; locating resources or instructive information; managing own information), strategies (search modifications and incorporation of background knowledge) and outcomes (outcome; direction (projected and actual)). From these categories, a model of Family Historians’ online information seeking has been developed. Researchers have both informational and affective needs, and are highly emotionally attached to the research process. Users universally used Ancestry, FamilySearch, ScotlandsPeople, and Genes Reunited far more than other sites, seeking out quality informational content and unique records, which must be successful for researchers. Google was a major method of access to these. Very few participants were preaware of ‘e-local studies’ websites, and were surprised by the variations in quality, inconsistencies in terminology and navigation, and invisibility of quality content. Despite a lack of ease of use, the content present on e-local studies sites and their usefulness and value had been demonstrated to researchers. This suggests significant demand for local information of this kind online where it is available and made known.

Ridenour, Hugh. "The Greens of Falls of Rough: A Kentucky Family Biography 1795-1965". TopSCHOLAR®, 1996. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/3039.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The purpose of writing about the Greens of Falls of Rough is to record the extraordinary lives of three generations of a prominent, but somewhat neglected, Kentucky family that contributed greatly to the history of the Commonwealth. This family’s activities parallel that history in social, economic and political aspects from the state’s inception to the 1960s.
In addition, this thesis should alleviate a pervasive misunderstanding regarding the identity of Willis Green, founder of the Greens of Falls of Rough. Mr. Green, a prominent Kentuckian in his own right, has been confused with another Kentuckian, a Willis Green of Danville. The misidentification has indicated that they were either the same man or father and son. This research offers evidence that they were neither the same man nor father and son; they were apparently not even related, or at most, only very distantly so.
The Greens of Falls of Rough follows the lives of the three generations of Greens and spans the years 1795 through 1965. The principal issues addressed fall into four main categories: politics – Kentucky (1827-1845; 1859-1860; 1881-1884) and United States (1839-1845); Falls of Rough businesses, 1830s-1960s – farming, milling (saw and grist), and merchandising; domestic activities, 1860s-1960s; and social life, 1860s-1960s.
Political subjects include some movements of Kentucky’s militia in the War of 1812, the national political campaigns of 1840 and 1844, Whig issues, and Willis Green’s relationship with Henry Clay.
Business-related information includes entrepreneurial land acquisition activities in Kentucky’s Grayson and Breckinridge Counties (1820s-1830s), procedures of sawmilling and related transportation (river and railroad), farm commodities trading (1818-1900), and farm and business practices and their economic ramifications.
Domestic issues encompass food-related procedures/habits and household practices – servants, remodeling/decorating, cleaning (1870-1890).
Social aspects revolve around courtship (1860s) and rearing a family (1860s-1900), especially educational (Kentucky Military Institute, Centre College, Princeton Collegiate Institute) and moral training. In additions, some details of family disease/area epidemics and their treatments are discussed as well as entertainment activities.
Materials for this thesis were obtained almost entirely from political and family correspondence with some contribution from military and business records. More than six thousand items of correspondence were thoroughly studied and analyzed in this research.
These materials are located in the Kentucky Library, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, Kentucky; Filson Club, Louisville, Kentucky; University of Louisville Library, Louisville, Kentucky; National Archives, Washington, D.C.; M.I. King Library, Lexington, Kentucky; and Eastern Kentucky University Library, Richmond, Kentucky. Some materials are in the possession of Mrs. Mary O’Neill (owner of Green property), Falls of Rough, Kentucky and Hugh Ridenour (author of this work), Hanson, Kentucky.

Woodbury, Charla Jean. "Automatic Extraction From and Reasoning About Genealogical Records: A Prototype". BYU ScholarsArchive, 2010. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2335.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Family history research on the web is increasing in popularity, and many competing genealogical websites host large amounts of data-rich, unstructured, primary genealogical records. It is labor-intensive, however, even after making these records machine-readable, for humans to make these records easily searchable. What we need are computer tools that can automatically produce indices and databases from these genealogical records and can automatically identify individuals and events, determine relationships, and put families together. We propose here a possible solution—specialized ontologies, built specifically for extracting information from primary genealogical records, with expert logic and rules to infer genealogical facts and assemble relationship links between persons with respect to the genealogical events in their lives. The deliverables of this solution are extraction ontologies that can extract from parish or town records, annotated versions of original documents, data files of individuals and events, and rules to infer family relationships from stored data. The solution also provides for the ability to query over the rules and data files and to obtain query-result justification linking back to primary genealogical records. An evaluation of the prototype solution shows that the extraction has excellent recall and precision results and that inferred facts are correct.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Mettre en évidence l’existence de cultures familiales est le but de cette thèse : les cultures familiales peuvent être définies des pratiques sociales répétées sur plusieurs générations, spécifiques à une famille et révélant un ensemble de valeurs, voire une identité, transmis de parent à enfant. Le terrain d’observation est celui de la population à Charleville, petite ville du nord-est de la France, entre 1740 et 1890, et plus précisément un échantillon de 215 familles reconstruites sur au moins deux générations dans leur descendance masculine comme féminine. La famille est ici comprise comme un ensemble plus vaste que la famille nucléaire, composée du père, de la mère et des enfants : elle comprend également les oncles et tantes ainsi que les cousins. Cet échantillon de population est représentatif de toutes les franges de la société car la sélection a été faite à partir de la première lettre du patronyme de l’époux (B, G, M, N, P, R, et T). Les sources principales utilisées sont les registres paroissiaux et les actes d’état civil, en particulier les actes de mariage. Les indicateurs à partir desquels nous analysons les cultures familiales sont la capacité de signer des conjoints, la transmission de prénoms familiaux, le choix de cousins comme témoins de mariage, l’âge au premier mariage des femmes, les naissances illégitimes ainsi que les mariages entre parents consanguins ou affins (entre le 1er et le 4e degré). Cette méthode révèle des pratiques familiales transgénérationnelles qui varient au sein d’un même milieu économique et social, ce qui permet de rendre compte de l’importance de la notion de culture familiale pour comprendre l’histoire socialeThe main of this thesis is to bring out the existence of family cultures. Family cultures can be defined as social practices repeated over several generations, specific to a family and revealing a set of values, even an identity, transmitted from parent to child. The field of observation is the population in Charleville, a small town in northeastern France, between 1740 and 1890, and more precisely a sample of 215 families reconstructed over at least two generations, by their male and female descendance. The family is understood here as a whole larger than the nuclear family, made up of the father, the mother and the children: it also includes the uncles and aunts as well as the cousins. This population sample is representative of all segments of society because the selection was made from the first letter of the husband's surname (B, G, M, N, P, R, and T). The main sources used are parish registers and civil status documents, in particular marriage certificates. The indicators from which we analyse family cultures are the ability of spouses to sign, the transmission of family first names, the choice of cousins as marriage witnesses, the age at first marriage of women, illegitimate births as well as marriages between consanguineous or related parents (between the 1st and 4th degree). This method reveals transgenerational family practices that vary within the same economic and social environment, which makes it possible to account for the importance of the importance of the notion of family culture in understanding social history

Abbiamo studiato in questa Tesi di dottorato un aspetto del mito di Enea: la divinizzazione eroica che appare come una promessa dal fatum nei versi della Eneide di Virgilio, poema epico composto tra gli anni 29 e 19 aC. Tra le varie possibilità metodologiche ed ermeneutiche per lo studio di un poema epico, ci concentreremo qui sulla questione della storicità dell'opera, il suo momento di composizione e le risposte ai precedenti epici. Come una epopea eroico-storica, l'Eneide è intesa come documento di complessità inesauribile per studiare il tempo del poeta. Cerchiamo di valutare come le promesse di apoteosi dell'eroe e dei suoi discendenti, Giulio Cesare e Ottaviano, sono collegate nella trama, offrendo alla casa dei principi da cui deriva l'Imperatore Augusto, domus Iulia, ascendenza divina ed eroica. In grado, quindi, di rafforzare la sua posizione di prestigio sociale e politico, mettendo la famiglia imperiale di sopra delle altre famiglie aristocratiche. Il poeta fa Giove promettere all'eroe, figlio di Venere, un tipo di sollevamento ad sidera, allo scopo di ricordare la consecratio/katasterismos di Giulio Cesare la cui anima è stata identificata alla stella che è apparsa nei cieli di Roma alla celebrazione dei Giochi per la Vittoria di Cesare - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). Ottaviano, a sua volta, è citato come un dio potenziale con un posto riservato nel pantheon romano. Più di una determinazione dello fatum, Virgilio presenta la prospettiva di sollevamento stellare basata sul merito rappresentato sia dalla reputazione e dalla uirtus che sono costruiti nella vita dell'individuo. In concomitanza con l'analisi ermeneutica dello epico, il nostro sforzo metodologico si sviluppa in due direzioni: in primo luogo, facciamo un passo indietro al periodo repubblicano per seguire le tracce dello radicamento di Enea divinizzato nelle leggende di fondazione e nella topografia del Lazio. Inoltre, dalle testimonianze testuali e dalle monete mettiamo in discussione il legame tra l'eroe troiano alla genealogia della famiglia degli Iulii. Nel secondo movimento, al di là del periodo di composizione dell'Eneide, abbiamo cercato di valutare l'investimento nella genealogia troiana e la riappropriazione di temi epici nelle cerimonie, monumenti e sculture del primo secolo. Quindi, abbiamo anche analizzato le appropriazioni dello tema della divinizzazione di Enea da altri autori come Livio, Dionigi di Alicarnasso e, soprattutto, Ovidio nelle Metamorfosi.
We investigate in this Thesis a specific element of Aeneas’ myth: the heroic divinization that appears as a promise of fatum in the lines of the Aeneid, epic poem composed between the years 29 and 19 BC. Among the several methodological and hermeneutical possibilities for the study of an epic, we focus on the problem of the historicity of the work, its moment of composition and the responses to previous epic models. As a heroic-historical epic, the Aeneid is understood as an inexhaustible and complex document for studying the poet's time. We try to assess how the promises of apotheosis of this hero and his descendants, Julius Caesar and Octavian, are linked into the plot, providing to the rulers house, from which comes the Emperor Augustus, Domus Iulia, heroic and divine ancestry. Able, therefore, to strengthen its social and political prestige, putting the imperial family apart from the other aristocratic families. The poet reserves to this hero, son of Venus, one kind of upswing ad sidera in order to recall the consecratio/katasterismos of Julius Caesar whose soul has been identified to star – sidus/astrumv - that appeared in the skies of Rome during the celebration of the Games in Honor of Caesar's Victory - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). More than a settlement of fatum, Virgil presents the prospect of stellar ascension based on merit represented by the fame and uirtus which are both constructed during the individual's life. Allong with the hermeneutic analysis, our methodological effort unfolds in two directions: firstly, we step back to the republican past to track the rooting of Aeneas deified in the foundation narratives and topography of Latium. Moreover, from textual sources and numismatic evidence, we bring the issue of the constructed link between the Trojan hero and the genealogy of the Iulii. In a second movement, we seek to evaluate the investment in Trojan genealogy and the reappropriation of epic themes by the ceremonies, monuments and sculptural artifacts from the first century AD. Therefore, we analyze the reappropriation of this theme of Aeneas' divinization by the augustan authors, Livy, Dionysius of Halicarnassus and especially Ovid in Metamorphoses.
Investigamos nesta Tese um elemento específico do mito de Enéias: a divinização heroica que aparece como promessa do fatum nas linhas da Eneida de Virgílio, poema épico composto entre os anos 29 e 19 a.C. Buscamos avaliar como as promessas de apoteose do herói e seus descendentes, Júlio César e Otávio, estão concatenadas na trama, conferindo à casa de governantes a qual se liga o Imperador Augusto, domus Iulia, ancestralidade divina e heroica. Capaz, portanto, de reforçar sua posição de prestígio social e político frente às outras famílias aristocráticas. O poeta reserva ao heroi, filho de Vênus, um tipo de elevação ad sidera, de forma a rememorar a consecratio/katasterismos de Júlio César cuja alma foi identificada ao astro – astrum/ sidus - que apareceu nos céus de Roma durante celebração dos Jogos à Vitória de César - Ludi Victoriae Caesaris (44 a.C). Otávio, por sua vez, é mencionado como um diuus em potência, com um lugar reservado no panteão romano. Mais do que uma determinação do fatum, Virgílio apresenta esta perspectiva de ascensão sideral fundamentada no mérito, representado tanto pela fama quanto pela uirtus que são construídas em vida pelo indivíduo. Concomitante à análise hermenêutica do épico, nosso esforço metodológico se desdobra em dois sentidos: primeiramente, recuamos ao passado republicano para rastrear na documentação textual e arqueológica o enraizamento de Enéias divinizado nas narrativas fundacionais e na topografia do Lácio. Ademais, a partir das fontes textuais e da evidência numismática, problematizamos a vinculação do heroi troiano à genealogia familiar dos Iulii. Em um segundo movimento, para além do período de composição da Eneida, buscamos avaliar o investimento na genealogia troiana e a reapropriação de temas épicos nos cerimoniais, monumentos e artefatos esculturais do século I d.C. Por conseguinte, nos debruçamos sobre as reapropriações do tema da divinização de Enéias pelos autores do Principado de Augusto, Tito Lívio, Dionísio de Halicarnasso e especialmente Ovídio nas Metamorfoses.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This paper studied about the ´guarda-mor´ MANOEL FERNANDES PENNA, central role of this work, and his wife FRANCISCA LUIZA DE LIMA, who settled in the central region o Rio Grande do Sul state, between 1806 and 1808. Aspects of geographical, social, economical and political trajectory of the family were reconstructed based on their first generations. It was studied the scenery of this couple and the formation of clans generated by their offspring from the biographical and genealogical inventory of their descendants and spouses. This study is in the area of concentration: History and Cultural Estate, and research line: Documental Heritage. It was aimed the clear out the clans from the reconstitution of parental bonds and the biography data. Once the genealogical matrix was being done, the bibliographical information was being taken. It was used as sources articles, dissertations and books on the local and regional historiography, baptism, wedding and death parish books from of Viamão, Santo Amaro, Cachoeira, Santa Maria, São Martinho and Cruz Alta, parish books which had the registration of lands and post mortem inventories from Cachoeira, Santa Maria, São Martinho, Júlio de Castilhos, Santo Ângelo and Cruz Alta, internet material and by interviewing some key‟ people. It was noticed: a) a fast, embracing, long lasting and intelligent insertion of the family in local and regional societies and a considerable social and economical development; b) a large number of descendants left by the patriarch couple and; c) the insertion of clans in the local and regional society, considering their comprehensiveness, activities and participation in society. Later, will be published the inventory biographical and genealogical of the descendants of the patriarch and the spouses (principal product) and on the scenery of their trajectory as well as the formation of the derived clans.Esta pesquisa tratou do estudo a respeito do Guarda-mor MANOEL FERNANDES PENNA, figura central do trabalho, e sua esposa FRANCISCA LUIZA DE LIMA, estabelecidos, na Região Central do Rio Grande do Sul, entre 1806 e 1808. Reconstruíram-se aspectos das origens e trajetória geográfica, social, econômica, cultural e política da família, pesquisa centrada nas primeiras gerações. Estudou-se o cenário da trajetória do casal e família e a formação dos clãs derivados de sua prole, a partir do inventário biograficogenealógico da descendência e cônjuges.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis examines the exercise of genealogy in North America in the 19th and 20th centuries through an analysis of the historical and genealogical writings by and about the (real and presumed) descendants of two Walloon brothers, Jesse (c 1580--1624) and Gerard de Forest (1583--1654). It also follows genealogy's slow democratization, from its late 19th century bourgeois users to the explosion of its popularity since 1977.

The thesis then follows the construction over the course of 140 years of the de Forest and Forest historical narrative, through the successive publications of various versions of this story, fundamentally one of identity. From research project to research project, these genealogists were influenced by the time period, the social, cultural, and commemorative settings in which they wrote, in New England, New York, Acadia, Quebec, Louisiana, and Ontario. Their research techniques, their processes for acquiring and exchanging knowledge, and the manner in which they wrote their narratives, revealed their aspirations, their self-representations, those of their families and their ancestors, as well as their gender, class, and ethnicity. Their ancestor biographies showed a desire to make public the true history of their ancestors, for their family's glory, whether or not their ancestry was real or invented. In the hope of unifying the family, boaster the popularity of a famous ancestor or of an interest group, these genealogists constructed histories based on oral traditions, primary sources, and in response to the works of their predecessors. Through the years, the material conditions of genealogical research and publication changed greatly, particularly with the advent of computing, but the most important influences on genealogy writing have been the feminisation of genealogists, the multiplication of descendants willing to write, and the chao

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This dissertation is an historical and philosophical study on the development of a subjective concept of individual rights. It takes the form of a history of ideas informed by genealogical methods of inquiry. Rather than seeking an origin for and underlying truth to human rights, it treats human rights as a product of various historical developments which are capable of being investigated in terms of their contingency as well as their continuous traditions. The thesis begins with an analysis of political theory in ancient Greek thought, primarily as a means of suggesting possible alternative political philosophies to the rights-based approach dominant in modern Western societies. The thesis then considers the theologicalpolitical discourse on sovereignty in the early Middle Ages, revolving around the doctrine of divine right and influenced by the function of the Christian Church in defining the nature of government. This is followed by an examination of the emergence of hierarchical, feudal relations and the formulation of feudal rights as based on proprietary notions and coinciding with individual liberties. In the following chapter there is a discussion of the juridical construction of sovereign power that emerged from the reception of Roman law and the development of canon law, the influence of legal textuality on the granting of rights and liberties, and the emergence of a discourse on public right as a way of defining the relationship between the prince and his subjects and thus delimiting sovereign authority. Finally, the thesis considers the legacy of the theory of natural rights and its relationship to forms of liberty, with an analysis of: firstly, the idea of natural rights that developed through canon law and the discussions surrounding the Franciscan poverty disputes; secondly, the role of property rights in the formulation of the rights of liberty; thirdly, the Christian understanding of liberty as a subjective attribute or power through the theo-ontological theory of human nature as represented by the free will; and fourthly, the transformation in Renaissance and early modern legal and political theory of the concept of liberty into a political doctrine about individual autonomy and inherent freedom. The purpose of the dissertation is to describe the multiple and complex historical processes from which the idea of subjective rights has emerged, as a means of understanding how human rights have come to play a seemingly essential role in modern legal and political discourses and practices.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis is an exploration of ancestral narratives in the fiction of Thomas Keneally and Christopher Koch. Initially, ancestry in literature creates an historical relationship which articulates the link between the past and the present. In this sense ancestry functions as a type of cultural memory where various issues of inheritance can be negotiated. However, the real value of ancestral narratives lies in their power to aid in the construction of both personal and communal identities. They have the potential to transform these identities, to transgress natural boundaries and to reshape conventional identities in the light of historical experience.
For Keneally, ancestral narratives depict national forbears who narrate the nation into being. His earlier fictions present ancestors of the nation within a mythic and symbolic framework to outline Australian national identity. This identity is static, oppositional, and characterized by the delineation of boundaries which set nations apart from one another. However, Keneallys more recent work transforms this conventional construction of national identity. It depicts an Irish-Australian diasporic identity which is hyphenated and transgressive: it transcends the conventional notion of nations as separate entities pitted against one another. In this way Keneallys ancestral narratives enact the potential for transforming identity through ancestral narrative.
On the other hand, Kochs work is primarily concerned with the intergenerational trauma causes by losing or forgetting ones ancestral narrative. His novels are concerned with male gender identity and the fragmentation which characterizes a self-destructive idea of maleness. While Keneallys characters recover their lost ancestries in an effort to reshape their idea of what it is to be Australian, Kochs main protagonist lives in ignorance of his ancestors life. He is thus unable to take the opportunity to transform his masculinity due to the pervasive cultural amnesia surrounding his family history and its role in Tasmanias past.
While Keneally and Koch depict different outcomes in their fictional ancestral narratives they are both deeply concerned with the potential to transform national and gender identities through ancestry.

Telling stories about a family's common past solidifies its sense of community, and enriches member's sense of identity and belonging. In preindustrial times this information flowed orally thanks to continuous and prolonged cohabitation, but the dispersion of kinship in modern society has severed the ties between the generations. On-line communities can help restore these links by providing virtual spaces whose design specifically encourages storytelling. In order to arrive at this design, this thesis (1) surveys the importance and characteristics of family storytelling, (2) discusses the procedures used by oral historians and folklorists for story elicitation, and (3) analyzes a number of existing systems in terms of the above theoretical background. This thesis concludes with a series of guidelines for the design and implementation of communities for family storytelling. Different ways of indexing and accessing stories are discussed, and appropriate representations and interfaces that facilitate the storytelling process are presented.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis considers how ‘restorative justice’ has emerged as a legitimate response to crime. It presents the beginnings of a genealogical analysis of ‘restorative justice’ as it applies to criminal justice contexts. It comprises a ‘backwards-looking’ component, in which accepted historical accounts of ‘restorative justice’ are problematised, and a ‘forwards-looking’ component, in which a partial history of discourse of ‘restorative justice’ is presented. I conclude that these silenced discourses might be read as an incomplete and partial history of discourse of ‘restorative justice’. That is, ‘restorative justice’ ‘makes sense’ as an approach to criminal justice partly because of the credence of these discourses, upon which it relies, to some extent, for discursive legitimacy. These diverse and divergent discourses cast the ‘restorative justice’ project not as the unified and stable ‘movement’ as which it is usually portrayed, but as a fragmented and shifting phenomenon, comprised of a loose and heterogeneous assemblage of practices with variegated historical antecedents. Additionally, I conclude that some concerns raised by various scholars in the field – particularly in relation to the potential of ‘restorative practices’ to impact negatively on already marginalised and disadvantaged populations – are validated by this genealogy.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
How have we come to hear melody as going “up” or “down”? Why does the Western world predominantly adopt spatial terms such as “high” and “low” to distinguish musical notes while other non-Western cultures use non-spatial terms such as “large” and “small” (Bali), or “clear” and “dull” (South Korea)? Have the changing concepts of motion and space in people’s everyday lives over history also changed our understanding of musical space? My dissertation investigates the Western concept of music space as it has been shaped by social change into the way we think about music today. In our understanding of music, the concept of the underlying space is so elemental that it is impossible for us to have any fruitful discourse about music without using inherently spatial terms. For example a term interval in music denotes the distance between two combined notes; but, in fact, two sonic objects are neither near nor far from each other. This shows that our experience of hearing interval as a combination of different notes is not inherent in the sound itself but constructed through cultural and social means. In Western culture, musical sound is often conceptualized through various metaphors whose source domains reflect the society that incubated these metaphorical understandings. My research investigates the historical formation of the conceptual metaphor of music. In particular, I focus on historical formation of the three underlying assumptions we bring to our hearing of music: (1) “high” and “low” notes and motion between them, (2) functionality of musical chords, and (3) reliance on music notation. In each chapter, I contextualize various music theoretical writings within the larger framework of philosophy and social theory to show that our current understanding of musical sound is embedded with the history of Western culture.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis offers a reconsideration of the contentious relationship between Michel Foucault and postcolonial thought through the decolonial turn, by interpreting critique as attitude. The discussion of continuity in Foucault’s work on subjectivity, between his genealogical and ethical periods, leads to an understanding of critical attitude as a mode of critique and self-critique that depends on genealogy as a method of historical inquiry. Meanwhile, the shift away from European modes of rationality described by the decolonial turn in philosophy, proposes an approach to social transformation and the dismantling of Eurocentrism through understanding critique as operative in terms of the decolonial attitude. A comparison of these two attitudes as modes of critique provides common ground for the recognition of their mutual compatibility as techniques for reinterpreting history that also work in the service of contending with coloniality.

As the dust of the Second World War began to settle, that which began life in the U.S. as an experimental space in early twentieth century firms became a knowable object of intervention for economics and accountancy alike. Jumpstarted by the war, research and development, or RandD, was pulled into the experimental forays of a new generation of experts, including macroeconomic growth theorists. By explaining growth outputs in terms of RandD inputs, postwar macroeconomists failed to learn the lesson that was so hard won by accountants, namely: that it is the very uncertainty of outcomes which makes experimental inquiry so valuable to society and yet so untenable as capital.Doctor of Philosophy
Over the course of the twentieth century, American "research and development" evolved from an experimental space within a handful of early twentieth century firms, into "RandD"—a knowable object of intervention for experts and regulators alike. Tracing this shift through the lens of accounting history, this dissertation draws out the debates involving RandD accounting which ultimately settled on the treatment of RandD as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Federal laws and regulations, however, continue to treat RandD as if it were a capital investment like any other. The implications of treating RandD as capital are discussed.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Friedrich Nietzsche’s 1874 essay "On the Use and Disadvantage of History for Life" (HL) presents ideas on how the past ought to be appropriated and how history ought to be written. His 1887 book "On the Genealogy of Morality" (GM) presents an account of the historical development of European morality. Given that Nietzsche appropriates the past through writing in GM, the question arises: does GM put into practice Nietzsche’s earlier ideas from HL concerning how the past ought to be appropriated through the writing of history? I argue that GM does indeed apply some of Nietzsche’s key ideas from HL. In particular, GM remains consistent with HL insofar as it appropriates the past unhistorically, makes use of the monumental and critical modes of history, and appropriates the past in a way that encourages the flourishing of an elite kind of human being. However, Nietzsche’s manner of appropriating the past in GM also diverges from what he espouses in HL. Whereas in HL he emphasizes the usefulness and desirability of forgetting and distorting the past, in GM he exhibits a more notable concern with knowing the truth about the past. I show that this difference in approach is due to the significant change that Nietzsche’s epistemology underwent between the writing of HL and the writing of GM. This difference in approach notwithstanding, the great virtue of illuminating GM through the lens of HL is that it allows us to see more clearly how a lack of concern with truth and knowledge plays a positive role in Nietzsche’s writing of the past in GM. It also helps us to understand why he appropriates the past the way that he does in GM. Just as in HL Nietzsche thought that the past ought to be appropriated in a way that encourages the activity of genius, his writing of the history of European morality in GM is undertaken with the intent to encourage the occurrence and activity of a select kind of human being, a kind of human being that Nietzsche values above all else.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The thesis presents a historical study of the Enlightenment project for a Science of Man which takes its perspective from the 20th century philosophical 'death of man'. From the contemporary move against humanistic ideals associated already from the 1930's exemplified contrasting interpretations over an Enlightenment Science of Man and its ambitions. In the 1960's Michel Foucault's pivotal approach gave this dispute the perspective of the 'death of man', which this thesis frames in relation to his reading of Kant. This forms a perspective from which to examine Kant's positive ambitions, as Foucault saw them extending beyond Critique. But a second perspective is taken up through what Gilles Deleuze ascribed to an empiricist tradition subjugated under a vitalism. This is indicated by the 'age of Bichat', the French medical tradition which Deleuze contrasted with Foucault's 'rarefied form of positivism'. A genealogical history of the Science of Man frames these as alternative models to a critique of reason, two perspectives derived of the Enlightenment project. The 'age of Bichat' is understood around the French Enlightenment discourse on vitalism modelled on a post-Cartesian concept of the body. This gave the positive ambitions for early 19th century Positivism explored through Saint Simon's 'concept of labour' and August Comte's epistemological critique, intended as substitute for an older Enlightenment model. However, this becomes further complicated by the new positive paradigm of experimental medicine. The effect, during the early Third Republic, was to re-orientate the philosophical perspective on the older project for a Science of Man. This served Henri Bergson's critique of Positivist historical formations, but also the neo-Positive model of Emile Durkheim and the ambition for an autonomous new science that delimits a collective 'order of things'. The dilemma was legitimating vital norms in a modern society. This genealogy situates these as perspectives seen through the 18th century Science of Man from which the vital and the positive remained elements historically resistant to being the determinable object of study.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In Mabo v. State of Queensland (No. 2) (1992) 175 C.L.R. 1, the majority of the High Court held that ???native title??? had survived the acquisition of sovereignty over the Australian continent and is ???recognised??? by the common law. However, all the judgments failed to articulate clearly either the nature of native title as a legal form, and the relationship of that legal form to the common law, or what is meant by ???recognition???. Twelve years later the High Court has still not provided a satisfactory understanding of any of these matters. The central problem investigated by this thesis is the nature of that relationship and of the legal interest of native title. It is contended that this relationship can be understood and ordered as a matter of jurisdiction. This thesis seeks to recuperate a substantive concept of jurisdiction, and specifically of a particular jurisdiction, that of the common law, and to demonstrate how the interest of native title results from the jurisdictional relationship between common law and indigenous law. Part I is a genealogy of native title, drawn out through a history of ideas about common law jurisdiction. It is an account of the legal practice of jurisdiction, through a conceptual elaboration of a particular jurisdiction: the common law. This part traces the history of the common law from its origins in a pluralistic, fragmented, jurisdictional landscape, to its current position as the ???law of the land???. It considers the traditional mechanisms and techniques through which the common law has ordered its relationships with other jurisdictions, and how it has appropriated matters traditionally within the purview of other jurisdictions, accommodating them within the common law as ???custom???. The thesis demonstrates that the same gestures and practices can be seen in modern native title decisions, and contends that the ordering which underpins both native title, and the Australian legal system, is jurisdictional. Part II examines the practice of jurisdiction through an examination of three technologies of jurisdiction, all of which contributed to the construction of the legal entity of native title as an act of jurisdiction: mapping, accommodation and categorisation.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis argues for a new understanding of criticism in Foucauldian genealogy based on the role played by the values of Michel Foucault’s audience in motivating suspicion. Secondary literature on Foucault has been concerned with understanding how Foucault’s works can be critical of cultural practices in the contemporary West when his accounts take the form of descriptive history. Commentaries offered heretofore have been insufficient for explaining the basis of Foucault’s criticism of cultural practices because they have failed to articulate the relation of the genealogist to her present normative context—the social and political values and goals that, in part, define the position of the genealogist within her culture. This thesis shows why previous accounts are insufficient for explaining Foucauldian genealogical critique, and it argues for a simple alternative warranted by Foucault’s writing.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis constitutes the first analysis of the development of the French education system and the emergence of the French 'collège' in relation to Gilles Deleuze’s assertion that, in the post-war period, the disciplinary societies described by Michel Foucault have entered into crisis and that a new ‘control society’ is emerging. The first chapter of the thesis establishes the theoretical framework to be applied, elucidating the connections between Foucault’s concepts of power and 'dispositif' and Deleuze’s concepts of desire and 'agencement', before considering how historical change emerges through the intensification of strategies of power. The rest of the chapter outlines the abstract traits of discipline and then control and considers how these strategies of power might be actualised in the institution of the school. The second chapter applies this framework to the development of the education system established under the Third Republic, which is found to consist of three separate disciplinary 'dispositifs' of education that actualise distinct logics of education. The third chapter traces the intensification of strategies of power responding to the logics of the three institutions identified in the previous chapter and the transformations of the education system that this provokes before showing the emergence of the 'collège' from the confluence of these intensified logics, which establishes it as an institution of control traversed by a modulation of disciplinary logics. The 'collège' is then also shown to develop governance structures that promote modulation as the local negotiation of the institution. The thesis argues that the emergence of the 'collège' marks the beginning of a shift from discipline to control in the French education system.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This thesis investigates the wartime internment of my paternal grandfather Angelo Pulvirenti, interned in Australia during the Second World War. It investigates his internment in three ways. Firstly, Angelo’s internment is explored in the context of the ‘state of exception’ invoked at the time by the authorities. The state of exception, a legal term describing a sovereign’s ability to override public law in the interests of national security and/or public safety, is the means by which his internment is represented in the studio works. Secondly, the thesis incorporates nineteenth century pictorial Symbolism to manifest the exception in the studio works. And lastly, the thesis applies the exception to the amnesia of the Australian War Memorial regarding the wartime internments, which has become the official version of wartime internment. The studio works construct a new narrative of internment from the official version in terms of familial content and the silence regarding Angelo’s internment. The studio works occupy the space between the official version ofinternment and Angelo’s life narrative during the war. Thus, both the thesis and studio work challenge the official version of internment. The work of Rea Tajiri, Katsushige Nakahashi, Max Klinger, Kandinsky and Gerhard Richter are important on the levels of formal manipulation, myth, symbology and memory. On the theoretical level, Giorgio Agamben, Carl Schmitt, Michel Foucault and Jacques Rancière are the main points of contact.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Since the mid-20th century in the United States, there have been several reform movements within mathematics education; each movement has been subject to its own unique socio-cultural and -political forces. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics’ (NCTM) Standards documents—Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989), Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991), Assessment Standards for School Mathematics (1995), and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000)—not only represent the most recent of these reform movements but also the most enduring. Collectively, these documents have formed a discourse (cf. Foucault, 1969/1972)—Standards-based mathematics education—that has guided mathematics education through the 1990s and beyond. This study uses Foucaultian archaeological and genealogical methods (cf. Foucault, 1969/1972, 1975/1995) to explore Standards-based mathematics education as a “discursive formation” (Foucault, 1969/1972) and the complex power relations (cf. Foucault, 1976/1990) that made it possible for the formation to become The discourse of school mathematics, making others impossible. Data for the exploration includes the Standards documents, earlier histories of the NCTM Standards moment, scholarly and policy literature surrounding the NCTM documents, and oral history interviews with several of the writers of the NCTM documents. The study presents a historical narrative of mathematics education in the 20th century that both contextualizes Standards-based mathematics education and problematizes NCTM’s efforts; a key focus is the strategy that NCTM deployed to maintain the viability of Standards-based mathematics education as a discourse. Foucault’s (1984) “author function” is used to address the ways that the writers, externalities, and NCTM as an organization “authored” the Standards documents. The study concludes arguing that perpetuating the discursive formation of Standards-based mathematics education is neither good nor bad but only dangerous; therefore, it requires mathematics educators to maintain a sense of pessimistic activism related to present and future reform efforts (cf. Foucault, 1983/1997).

This thesis will demonstrate how prosopographical methods can be used to provide a narrative of social change for the Quraysh tribe of Late Antiquity. By applying these methods to records of their marriage behaviour, it will be shown that the pre-Islamic Quraysh led a far more marginal existence than is widely thought, and that in the post- Islamic period they were surprisingly flexible with regard to their marriage practices and ideas on group membership. The first three chapters focus on historiography and methodology. Chapter One introduces the methodological preliminaries that lie at the heart of this research; these concern the nature of the data, the manner in which it is extracted and the way it will be structured within databases. Issues regarding the quality and reliability of the marital records as preserved in the nasab (tr: genealogical) literary tradition are also discussed in this section. Chapter Two provides a historiography of the nasab tradition, paying particular attention to the nature of its emergence and the possible effects of social and cultural contexts on the quality of the marriage data. This provides the groundwork for Chapter Three which focuses more narrowly on the work from which most of our data are extracted – the Nasab Quraysh of al-Zubayrī (d. 851). The remaining five chapters outline how the data within the nasab tradition can be analysed and incorporated into existing secondary scholarship. Chapters Four and Five establish that the data show a rapid rise in concubinage at the same time as the Arab military conquests of the seventh century. This has implications for our current consensus on the nature of marriage and identity in the seventh and eighth centuries. Chapters Six to Eight investigate the marriages made by the Quraysh to Arab women in the sixth to eighth centuries, and will show how practice adapted to context. To conclude, it will be argued that this investigation not only establishes the high quality of the marriage data as preserved in the nasab tradition, but also the enormous potential of prosopographical methods when applied to the study of early Islamic history.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This project report accounts for my final MFA project, Traces of Existence. This body of work began as an exploration, partially borne of the love of genealogical research translated into visual art by exploring the things my ancestors touched, be it ephemera, the soil they lived on, or artifacts they left behind, and partly as a pathway through which I could learn to understand more about my own identity, all the while finding beauty in the mundane. Although the works are personal, it is my hope that the viewer will respond to them in his/her own way, and that considering them will create an interest in the viewer to discover more about his/her own lineage. I believe we are all a part of a global family, and because of this familial connection, it is my hope that many viewers will have a dual response; one of appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of the work, and a sense of belonging.
