▼ This thesis is a biography of an individual, Suprakash Ray. Born in the Borishal district of eastern Bengal in 1915/1918, he died in a hospital in Calcutta in 1990. Suprakash Ray was the most widely recognised of the many pseudonyms used by Sudhir Bhattacharya: the others were Bijan Sen and Kafi Khan. He was an anti-colonial terrorist as a teenager (1930s), a Communist partisan organiser in the tramworkers' union in Calcutta (1930s and 1940s), and a history-teacher in a Calcutta school who split away from the Communist parties and wrote extensively on history and politics (1950s and 1960s). He had been sparsely mentioned in a few political and intellectual works. Beyond direct reference, his ideas and statements find solidarity in radical Communist partisans and platforms across twentieth century in the territory of the colonial and the Indian state and beyond. The primary thread emerging from this enquiry into his life and works is a largely suppressed truth - that there was a well-developed Communist thought of history and politics in this territory that was separate from Marxist historiography and political economy. This separation was an antagonistic procedure - where the Communist party leadership and centralised bureaucracy ratified Marxism as an evolutionary scheme which stifled subjective initiatives of ordinary partisans for immediate local application of the Communist programme or the egalitarian maxim. History of Communism in this territory is thus split into two. The leadership and party bureaucracy wanted to activate the absolute finitude of the Communist partisan in the face of the inexorable dual forces of history and (the Indian) state. The partisans were forced to embrace the role of conscience-keepers of planned industrial progress and parliamentary representative system initiated by the Indian state. The ordinary partisans affirmed the right to rebel against the colonial and the Indian state and wagered on infinity and immortality in the face of counter-revolutionary power. While the ordinary partisans declared the comprehensive possibility of a prospective metaphysics capable of enveloping present actions and drawing strength, in future, from what those actions would produce; the horizon of the party leadership was a greater technocratic role for Communists in the macroeconomic management of the lives of the citizens of India. The ordinary partisans were punished, excommunicated and criminalized by the leadership and the Indian state in equal measure. The 'ordinary Communist partisan' was a rare and obscure appearance, yet always consistent and self-declarative in broad sequences of time. Through Suprakash Ray - who thoughtfully designated himself as an ordinary Communist partisan rebelling against the leadership - we attempt to grasp the subjectivity of the ordinary Communist partisan. The extant literature on the history of Communism in the relevant territory pays scant attention to the internal registers, ideas and categories that subjectivated the Communist leadership and the ordinary…

▼ Focusing on interactions between Britain and the US in the field of popular song, this thesis explores the constitutive relationship between discourse, performance, and identity via critical and postcolonial theory. I interrogate how and why nostalgic and essentialising visions of alterity were used to resist mass consumption, global capitalism, and the changes wrought by modernity during the twentieth century. I argue that folk music does not exist outside the discourse of revivalism and is therefore best seen as an institutionalised system of knowledge animating the 'low Other'. Chapter 1, '"Dancing Puppets": Nationalism, Social Darwinism, and the Transatlantic Invention of Folksong', uncovers moments of mediation between 'primitive' cultures and metropolitan elites during the early twentieth century. Employing the idea of gatekeeping, I critique a genealogy of powerful voices including Cecil J. Sharp and John A. Lomax alongside others who persistently challenged their orthodoxies. Chapter 2, '"His Rough, Stubborn Muse": Industrial Balladry, Class, and the Politics of Realism', investigates Marxist visions of working-class culture, showing how ideas of rural authenticity were translated onto urban contexts. Focusing on the BBC 'radio ballads', I argue that industrial folksong was a form of social realism intended as a gendered bulwark against threats posed by Americanisation and postwar affluence. Chapter 3, '"Found True and Unspoiled": Blues, Performance, and the Mythology of Racial Display', explores African American culture, showing how desires written into a revivalist gaze forced artists to assume what I term 'black masks' for the benefit of white male fantasy. Focusing on televised performances, I argue that the semiotics of blues events provide a way of understanding the workings of racial identity itself. I conclude by proposing that what I term the 'folkloric imagination' is a simulacrum brought into existence by ideological fantasy - a manifestation of the colonialist Real.

▼ The life of Randolph Blackwell (1927-1981) provides a new lens through which to view the evolution of African American politics during the 20th century. Though perhaps most recognizable as a member of Martin Luther King‘s Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Blackwell‘s career as an activist had dimensions far broader than that of non-violent resistance. Most importantly, Blackwell‘s thought and praxis suggests the centrality of an economic and class-rooted analysis that endured far beyond the halcyon days of the Popular Front during the 1930s and 1940s. Through the medium of biography, this thesis charts the trajectory of Blackwell‘s political life. Beginning with his influence of his father—a member of Marcus Garvey‘s UNIA—Blackwell‘s journey intersected with some of the most foundational institutions and organisations shaping African American politics during the period under consideration, including Henry Wallace‘s Progressive Party of the late 1940s, the NAACP, the Voter Education Project and the SCLC. This thesis also ventures into unchartered territories, particularly in its description of Blackwell‘s post-civil rights career. In 1966, Blackwell founded Southern Rural Action, a non-profit private organisation dedicated to the cause of working class empowerment in some of the most impoverished counties in the South. Delineating Blackwell‘s unique, geographically centered vision of southern rebirth between 1966 and 1977, this thesis provides the first account of a long-ignored chapter in the history of "civil rights" organizing in the post-King years. Finally, Blackwell‘s work for the Federal Government as head of the Office of Minority Business Enterprise is given its due consideration.

▼ This thesis examines the Irish literary and visual art magazine Envoy: A Review of Literature and Art (1949-1951). It establishes the magazine as a key post-war site of transnational aspiration and activity at the beginning of a period of transition in Irish society toward greater international involvement and integration. The thesis argues that Envoy significantly contributed to the development of a range of cross-border, archipelagic, continental, and transatlantic connections and networks that variously stimulated, challenged, and ultimately expanded the dimensions of Irish
cultural discourse and production.

▼ D???Arcy McNickle???s 1936 novel The Surrounded is a seminal work of Native American fiction. Combining the work of theorists in both masculine studies and postcolonial studies, I analyze McNickle???s novel as an expression of Native American identity and masculinity in response to pernicious stereotypes of Native masculinity and to colonialism generally. My close reading identifies where these stereotypes exist in the novel and how Native males combat or succumb to them. Ultimately, I show how colonialism works as a gendered process, threatening Native manhood as well as the Native community at large.

▼ This dissertation explores the peculiar
history of the bookmobile in the United States from the close of the nineteenth
century to the turn of the twenty-first. In the process, it insists that a spatial politics of shared information was key to constructing and contesting community in
twentieth-
century America. Grounded in
cultural geography, American Studies, and book
history, it is an interdisciplinary investigation of the roles that bookmobiles played in efforts to build what some reformers called “common consciousness,” a sense of
cultural and spiritual connection. Indeed, the bookmobile emerged not just as a tool for getting books into far-flung hands but also as a way to confront two persistent questions: What should our communities look like in this new
century, and who should be included in them? This dissertation argues that the bookmobile’s answers to those questions both shaped and were shaped by three factors—racial segregation, imperial expansion, and consumer capitalism—that ultimately exposed the limits of the dream of a common consciousness.
Drawing on research in archival and published sources, this dissertation looks at a series of moments when bookmobiles, by moving purportedly public culture through supposedly shared space, forced Americans to consider what it would mean to hold ideas and objects in common. A set of five thematically distinct and roughly chronological chapters allows the dissertation to touch down in particular times in particular places—in Progressive-Era Kansas, in the Jim Crow South, in New Deal New Mexico and Cold War West Germany, in suburban supermarkets, and in Silicon Valley—while offering an expansive view of the relationship between community, space, and culture in America.

▼ This dissertation describes the process of political development in North Carolina during the
twentieth century. Beginning with the creation of the "solid South" in the early
twentieth century, North Carolina's unique one-party system featured a spirited rivalry within the Democratic Party that was largely absent throughout the South. The political rivalry between conservative and progressive Democrats profoundly influenced the course of North Carolina's political development. Following the Second World War, the interaction between state and national politics played a significant role in the development of the state's two-party system. By the end of the
twentieth century, a competitive two-party system supplanted one-party politics. Historians have written extensively about political development in the
twentieth-
century South, but there are few state-specific studies focusing on political change in the modern South. Using manuscripts, newspapers, and interviews, this dissertation traces the process by which one southern state gradually cast aside one-party politics and developed a strong, competitive two-party system. As such, this research provides insight into the development of two-party politics in the modern South. (Published By University of Alabama Libraries)

▼ This dissertation defines fictional autobiographies as novels featuring a fictional character writing an autobiography, and it argues that these novels contribute to autobiographical theory. Whereas these texts have often been read as veiled accounts of the author’s life, reading them as fictional autobiographies shows that they recount an imaginary life in an autobiographical mode while sustaining a meta-reflective inquiry into the processes of autobiography. This research demonstrates how fictional autobiographies combine the distance of fiction and the specificity of life writing to illuminate the intersection of selfhood and narrative.
This project analyzes four French epistolary fictional autobiographies from the mid-nineteenth to mid-
twentieth century. The first chapter argues that the lackluster spiritual autobiography in Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve’s 1834 Volupté makes a case against rigid modes of interpretation, whether they be the conventions of the Christian life or of traditional literary criticism. The second chapter argues that Paul Bourget’s 1889 Le Disciple functions as a laboratory of moral thought, allowing an open-ended exploration of the moral responsibility of the writer in society. The third chapter argues that François Mauriac’s 1932 Le Nœud de vipères innovates the literary trope of religious conversion, by representing conversion in the present tense and emphasizing the role of writing in personal transformation. The fourth chapter argues that Marguerite Yourcenar’s 1951 Mémoires d’Hadrien presents a secular alternative to the Christian tradition of life writing by imagining the emperor Hadrian contemplating his life and approaching death through the lens of freedom.
Collectively, these fictional autobiographies represent the writing
subject and the written autobiography as co-creative forces in identity formation. In each novel, life writing draws the
subject into care of the self: an ethical quest for self-knowledge that challenges preexisting beliefs and offers new insights. Introspection brings the possibility of both self-knowledge and delusion. In these novels, the lack of response to autobiographical letters implies that what is missing is an interlocutor whose questions can prevent solipsism, which would mean that the self depends on others for self-knowledge. By dramatizing writing, these fictional autobiographies propose life writing as a spiritual exercise for secular times.

▼ Neither indigenous nor exclusive to Florida, the orange has nevertheless become an international symbol for the state. This connection between product and place appears in cultural materials regarding Florida. In fact and fiction the orange has operated as metaphor and synecdoche for an Edenic Florida. This thesis analyzes how the orange came to represent a "natural" Florida through the conflation of the commercial product with the state's history by way of political and marketing puffery. A litany of citrus advertisements, tourist ephemera, and historical associations regarding the state acknowledged and expanded the connections between the orange, improved health, and Florida. A critical thirty-year period between 1930 and 1960 solidified these connections through major shifts in the Florida citrus industry and American culture. These shifts caused the state history and the oranges' history to become irrevocably entwined.

▼ This report surveys recent directions in
cultural-historical approaches to the historiography of West Germany. While yielding important insights, institutional and economic histories have been preoccupied with the “democracy problem,” concerned with whether it had a chance, how it took root, and when it became successful. More recently, scholars have emphasized the importance of
cultural-historical approaches in writing about the Federal Republic, often forging new ways to understand economic
history itself. These scholars, including Moritz Föllmer, Anna Parkinson, Paul Betts, Elizabeth Heineman, Dagmar Herzog, and Timothy Scott Brown, have shown that the project of creating individual subjectivities after 1945 was also a
cultural project, carved and contested in arenas ranging from industrial design to sexual politics. In reviewing these recent works, I propose that
cultural approaches allow us to frame the historical problem less as a project of forming subjectivities in an attempt to be model democrats, which can take on a teleological tone, and more as a project of forming subjectivities in an attempt to distance oneself from Nazism, and in doing so imagine what it could mean to be West German.

▼ Sketches and drafts for In the Beginning (1947), Aaron Copland’s only extended choral work, illuminate relationships between the composer’s creative process and his Jewish heritage and humanist philosophy. Commissioned for Harvard University’s Symposium on Music Criticism, this setting of Genesis 1–2:7 was Copland’s reluctant response to Harvard’s request for an a cappella choral work on a text drawn from Hebrew literature.
Although Copland’s upbringing was steeped in Jewish traditions and synagogue life, scholars have minimized the impact of his Judaism on his compositions, which avoided overt references to Jewish themes after the 1930s. This study offers a more nuanced appraisal, showing that In the Beginning encapsulates Copland’s expression of both Jewish and humanist ideals. Comparing Copland’s initial inspirations with his later revisions reveals his close reading and exegesis of the biblical text. This comparison also clarifies how Copland's free-flowing narrative style, melodic figuration, harmonic juxtapositions, and textural crescendo bring the work to a climax elevating the human soul.
My genetic criticism draws on close examination of holographs in the Library of Congress’s Aaron Copland Collection, including sketches and drafts, marked conducting scores, lecture notes, and correspondence. An understanding of In the Beginning’s historical context is enriched by archival discoveries at Harvard and Yale Universities, Jewish Theological Seminary, and Kane Street Synagogue; and by interviews with individuals close to Copland in 1947 and in his later decades, including Lorna Cooke deVaron, Alice Parker, Marilyn Jaye, and Vivian Perlis. The intent of this dissertation is to shed light on Copland’s compositional techniques and philosophical perspectives, and to facilitate more compelling performances of In the Beginning.

▼ Joseph Kampé de Fériet (1893–1982) est un mathématicien lillois, spécialiste international en mécanique des fluides et directeur de l'Institut de mécanique des fluides de Lille (IMFL) depuis sa création en 1929. En se familiarisant avec ce domaine et avec les questions expérimentales grâce à ses travaux de balistique pendant sa mobilisation scientifique à la Commission de Gâvre (1915-1919), ce savant a joué un triple rôle à l'institut. En tant que mathématicien, il a donné une contribution remarquable à la théorie statistique de la turbulence de Taylor-von Kármán à l'aide de la théorie des fonctions aléatoires de Kolmogorov, Khintchine, et Slutsky. En tant qu'expérimentateur, il a participé aux travaux expérimentaux de l'IMFL visant d'une part à étudier la turbulence atmosphérique et d’autre part à légitimer les idées de l'école de Philippe Wehrlé et Georges Dedebant, une école qui s'est constituée au sein de la Commission de la Turbulence Atmosphérique, créée par le ministère de l'Air en 1935. Enfin, en tant que directeur, il a valorisé les liens avec l'industrie et la société lilloise comme il a valorisé ses liens avec les officiers militaires pendant son expérience à Gâvre. Dans notre thèse, nous utiliserons le parcours scientifique et institutionnel de J. Kampé de Fériet - de sa mobilisation à Gâvre (1915) à l’année de sa démission de la direction de l’IMFL (1945) - en tant que prisme pour répondre à des questions plus générales concernant la mécanique des fluides en France pendant la première moitié du XXe siècle, dont certaines, mais pas toutes, apportent des éléments nouveaux qui sont communs à la balistique et aux autres domaines des mathématiques appliquées.
Joseph Kampé de Fériet (1893-1982), a French mathematician of Lille, was an international specialist in fluid mechanics and was director of the Institut de mécanique des fluides de Lille (IMFL) from its creation in 1929. By familiarizing himself with this field and by addressing questions of an experimental nature through his work on ballistics, during his scientific wartime service to the Gâvre Commission (1915-1919), this scientist played a triple role in the institute. As a mathematician, he made a remarkable contribution to Taylor-von Kármán's statistical theory of turbulence using the theory of random functions due to Kolmogorov, Khintchine, and Slutsky. As an experimental scientist, he took part in the experimental work of the IMFL aiming on one hand to study atmospheric turbulence and, on the other hand, to validate the ideas of the school of Philippe Wehrle and Georges Dedebant. This school was formed within the Atmospheric Turbulence Commission, created by the Minister of Air in 1935. Finally, as director of the institute, he strengthened links with industry and society in Lille, in the same way that he reinforced links with military officers during his work in Gâvre.In our thesis, we will use the scientific and institutional career path of J. Kampé de Fériet – from his service at Gâvre (1915) up until the year of his resignation as director…

▼ This thesis examines the symbiotic relationship between the meanings of tattoos and social norms through a comparative analysis of three distinct periods in
twentieth-
century American
history. I use extensive archival material and an interdisciplinary approach to explain how the meanings of body ink shifted and to identify factors that influenced the public’s perceptions of tattoos as deviant or acceptable. In the 1920s and 1930s, tattooing practices among favored social groups, specifically military personnel, middle- and upper-class white men and women, and circus performers, generally received more positive reactions than those among lower-class and criminal subcultures. In the 1950s and 1960s, body ink became practiced primarily by marginalized individuals, such as criminals, bikers, and sex workers, and the general public’s understandings of tattoos as indicators of deviance and dangerous immorality strengthened. The new clientele and practitioners of the 1970s and 1980s mainly came from a high socio-economic status and reframed their tattooing practices as artistic expressions of individuality. I argue that, although body ink aesthetic by and large supported American values of patriotism, heteronormativity, and racial advantage, tattooing practices among ‘respectable’ groups were more accepted than those by ‘deviant’ subcultures. My research shows that the fluctuations between public rejection and appreciation of tattoos in these periods rested principally on the appearance and function of the inked design and on the position of the tattooed body in the social hierarchy. This thesis demonstrates that tattooing practices created and perpetuated but also destabilized and influenced gender-, race-, and class-based American ideals, and my research exposes the nuanced connections of body ink with deviance and normativity, the malleability of social conventions, and a complex web of power relations constantly in flux.

▼ In broad strokes my research investigates the intersections between the nation, citizenship, masculinity, and culture as engaged through the lenses of gender, sexuality, and transnational flows of ideas and people. My project is a genealogy of what Mexican citizenship has and has not included as told through discourses on homosexuality and the experiences of homosexuals, a group that for the majority of the 20th
century were largely excluded from full citizenship. This did not mean homosexuals were unimportant; on the contrary, they were the foils against which the ideal Mexican could be defined and participants in both democracy and citizenship through their negation. The experiences and challenges faced by homosexuals illuminate the great, if gradual shift, from exclusive definitions of citizenship towards more universal forms of citizenship, however flawed, found in Mexico’s current multiculturalism. In fact, homosexuals’ trajectory from a maligned anti-Mexican group to representatives of pluralist democracy by the late 1970s sheds important light on how Mexico shifted from oligarchy through paternalist state-interventionism towards more participatory politics and towards an understanding of citizenship that incorporated pride parades as Mexican and homosexuals as worthy of state-sanctioned marriage by 2009, even as the structural causes of homophobia remained. Moreover, the convergences between local realities, national aspirations, and transnational flows of culture and ideas—all of which were fundamental in post-revolutionary Mexican nation-building—are best understood in relation to homosexuality.
This work has two interrelated objectives: first to reconstruct queer Mexican men’s lived experiences and second, to interrogate how effeminate homosexuals became not only popular
cultural foils, but also crucial “others” against which Mexican national identity—as exemplified by the masculine patriarch—was defined. I thus examine Mexican queer sexuality in two registers: as a social historical formation of queer male identities and communities, and as a
cultural historical articulation of Mexican national identity. I argue that the very category of “queer Mexican (man),” created as a pathology by social reformers, medical experts, and jurists, was foundational to the longue durée of political debates on citizenship and civil rights. Homosexuality was a key concern both in the formation of national identity,
cultural icons, and ideologies that had far-reaching consequences, as well as for
cultural, political, and medical-juridical authorities seeking to fashion Mexican modernity.
As Mexican democracy was shaped through revolution, war, socio-
cultural engineering, politics, and social movements, the line between those included and excluded from participation in that democracy remained unstable. This meant that what constituted a good citizen also shifted over time. Even so, at its core the dominant publicized ideal of the ideal Mexican citizen remained male, hetereosexual, hard-working in industry or agriculture,…

▼ This dissertation is the first book-length study to bridge American and Native American art histories and Native studies. To do so, it develops methods of image biography, or following a particular image through space and time. The image in question begins as Karl Bodmer’s watercolor portrait of a Numak'aki [Mandan] Benók Óhate [buffalo bull society] leader, later titled Mandan Buffalo Dancer (1834). Starting from its creation point in Indian Territory, the narrative subsequently tracks Mandan Buffalo Dancer in and out of various historical and
cultural contexts, forms, and genres across the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, in both Native American and non-Native settings.
Tracing how this story’s various agents utilized print (broadly construed as processes of technological image reproduction), I argue that nineteenth-
century systems of racial oppression, based on visual criteria of difference, emerged in part through the very mechanics by which print operates. These mechanics underwrote not only a system of racial notation – the very language of “stereotype,” “cliché,” and “racial typing” belie their sourcing in print technologies – but also a larger, wide-ranging system of knowledge reproduction and distribution that facilitated the containment of Native peoples under the logics of Manifest Destiny. Simultaneously, Native American communities employed print (or auratic
cultural practices that reproduce social memory) to promote the continuation of Native societies. These two long histories of print fed the rise of Native political activism in the 1960s and 1970s, as Native communities and artists worked to transform the historical effects of Manifest Destiny’s print enterprise.
Writing these histories in parallel, this project produces an infrastructural study of print image production and valuation. It develops a critical, historical, and cross-
cultural language for North American print studies. Finally, in assembling its archive of paintings, prints, drawings, photographs, diaries and letters, advertisements, archaeological artifacts, architecture, journalism, ethnological reports, political cartoons, museum displays, literature, and Native language, this study boldly re-imagines its methodological contact zone, whereby Native histories challenge long-standing paradigms of American art
history, visual and material culture takes a significant place in Native studies, and Native art
history interprets its objects through local languages, histories, and cosmologies.

▼ Though he was once among the most recognizable names in American architecture,
Gunnar Birkerts has largely been overlooked in the historiography of late modernism.
Birkerts was an unusually introspective and self-reflective architect and his collections
therefore offer a view into the complex intertwining of the personal and the professional
for entrepreneurial architects with eponymous firms. Through analyses of Birkerts’s
projects, practice, and pedagogy, the dissertation narrates the confluence of two realities:
the persistence of a belief in the artistry of architects and the emergence of conditions that
stretched their model of production to its breaking point. Consisting of intensive analyses
of four key projects across the US by the firm Gunnar Birkerts and Associates (GBA), the
chapters outline the ideas about artistry that continued to shape this firm’s working
methods even as large projects prompted Birkerts and his employees to take on new
management protocols. Archival records of these projects illustrate the ways Birkerts
assured that his authorial signature matched the output of GBA, and vice versa. The
dissertation shows how architecture’s turn toward Postmodernism directed architects to
fashion themselves as distinctive personalities with signature approaches to design, and
that for Birkerts, this self-fashioning was accompanied by a rejection of more
bureaucratic working methods and by increased focus on, and specialization within, the
more obviously artistic domains of architectural practice.

▼ This dissertation explores how feeling was of
central importance to the religiosity of Protestants in the north
west of England between 1660 and 1740. It demonstrates how in their
personal, familial, public and voluntary religious practices these
Protestants understood the cultivation of emotions, or more
precisely ‘affections’, as indispensable for the fulfilment of
their devotional exercises. Each of these practices was
constructive of communities that were linked by feeling and within
which different forms of affective norms were expected. These
communities preserved much of that godly culture which had
otherwise characterised English Protestantism in the earlier
seventeenth
century. Moreover, by doing so they frequently
minimised in part the importance of conformity to the Church of
England. Friendships were maintained between conformists and
nonconformists and they shared in a culture of religious feeling,
which drew on the same topoi in their religious activities.This
thesis will make original contributions to a number of debates. It
challenges the prevailing narratives of a ‘reaction against
enthusiasm’ dominating the religious discourse of the period. In
contrast, it suggests that through the cultivation of feeling,
Protestants in the period between the re-establishment of the
Church of England and the Evangelical Revival continued to
experience a vital religiosity. It thus also questions the
suitability of describing some religious movements as inherently
more ‘emotional’ than others. A more viable exploration can be
found in differing forms of emotionality in different religious
cultures. By examining the north west of England the thesis also
revises the notion that the region was spiritually impoverished
before the rise of Methodism, or that the religion provided by the
Church of England and Protestant nonconformity failed to engage its
attendants. The thesis is divided into five chapters which explore
the affective communities to which English Protestants of the
period and region belonged. These communities were concentric and
sequential, in that the individual Protestant might pass between
all of them depending upon their devotional practice. Chapter One
examines personal religious devotion, conducted mostly alone. It
demonstrates the unity between feeling and reason in personal
experience of God. Chapter Two examines family religion and how it
was defined by a meditative affect and engaged in by a broad
spectrum of Protestant affiliation. Chapter Three explores public
worship and its central role within the devotional economy; being
both the affective crescendo of devotional practice and being a
source of pious affections. Chapter Four looks at voluntary
religious practices, showing how friendship was defined by its
devotional nature and how the various religious societies of the
period continued to promote an affective religiosity. Chapter Five
considers clerical communities and how these were maintained across
lines of conformity and also provided significant spiritual succour
to the ministers of…

▼ In his writing on the nature and purpose of the novel between 1895 and 1911, Wells endorses artistic principles for their social effects. His public lecture on “The Contemporary Novel,” written in 1911 in response to a debate with Henry James, is the most lucid articulation of his artistic principles, and his later autobiographical reflections on the debate obscure the clarity of the earlier version. Wells’s artistic principles emerge in his reviews of contemporary fiction for the Saturday Review (1895–1897), where he extends Poe’s concept of “unity of effect” to the novel and justifies his preference for social realism with a theory of cultural evolution. His views develop further in the context of sociological and philosophical debates between 1901 and 1905. Wells commenced the century with a sceptical view on the social effects of literature, but his exposure to British Pragmatism encouraged him to revive the principles developed in his reviewing. The view on Wells’s conception of the novel presented in this thesis challenges the prevailing view that he began his career with a set of purely artistic principles, adding sociological and intellectual apparatus after the turn of the century.

▼ This dissertation is about a modern Chinese mathematician’s use of traditional Chinese mathematics. Wu Wen-Tsun (born 1919), a French-trained algebraic topologist, became interested in Chinese mathematical heritage in the Cultural Revolution period (1966-1976). He claimed that his subsequent, internationally acclaimed work on the “mechanisation of mathematics” (computer proofs) was inspired by this historical interest. He thus situated his mathematical success within a nationalist framework of independent modernisation, and has become a government-promoted celebrity since the turn of the millennium. Against the standard ‘national hero’ story told about Wu, I portray his turn to the history of Chinese mathematics as a sophisticated response to political, institutional and ideological pressures on mathematics in post-1949 Maoist China. I integrate a biographical account of Wu’s career with in-depth studies of the content and influence of his mathematical work to show the fluctuations of his fortunes since his return to China in 1952. Wu as an individual shared the fate of the Institute of Mathematics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where he worked between 1952 and 1977. I argue that Wu’s philosophy of mathematics was shaped by the utilitarianism preached by the Communist Party of China, which caused excesses especially during the Great Leap Forward (1958-1960), but remained a feature of Chinese science policy even afterwards. After the research hiatus of the Cultural Revolution, Wu consciously linked his research to ideology. His parallel mathematical research and history-writing since 1977 have reflected the same philosophy of mathematics and the same concerns about modernisation, national development, and independence. The dissertation uses unpublished archival material from China and first-hand interviews with Wu Wen-Tsun and other Chinese mathematicians. I relate Wu’s mathematical nationalism to theories of cultural nationalism and historicism from the political sciences, and theoretically analyse the contradiction between nationalism and internationalism in modern Chinese mathematics.

▼ This thesis examines the relationship between the three artists’ workshops Røde Mor (Red Mother), Folkets Ateljé (The People’s Studio) and GRAS, who worked between 1968 and 1975 in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Røde Mor was from the outset an articulated Communist graphic workshop loosely organised around collective exhibitions. It developed into a highly productive and professionalised group of artists that made posters by commission for political and social movements. Its artists developed a familiar and popular artistic language characterised by imaginative realism and socialist imagery. Folkets Ateljé, which has never been studied before, was a close knit underground group which created quick and immediate responses to concurrent political issues. This group was founded on the example of Atelier Populaire in France and is strongly related to its practices. Within this comparative study it is the group that comes closest to collective practises around 1968 outside Scandinavia, namely the democratic assembly. The silkscreen workshop GRAS stemmed from the idea of economic and artistic freedom, although socially motivated and politically involved, the group never implemented any doctrine for participation.
The aim of this transnational study is to reveal common denominators to the three groups’ poster art as it was produced in connection with a Scandinavian experience of 1968. By ‘1968’ it is meant the period from the late 1960s till the end of the 1970s. It examines the socio-political conditions under which the groups flourished and shows how these groups operated in conjunction with the political environment of 1968. The thesis explores the relationship between political movements and the collective art making process as it appeared in Scandinavia.
To present a comprehensible picture of the impact of 1968 on these groups, their artworks, manifestos, and activities outside of the collective space have been discussed. The argument has presented itself that even though these groups had very similar ideological stances, their posters and techniques differ. This has impacted the artists involved to different degrees, yet made it possible to express the same political goals. It is suggested to be linked with the Scandinavian social democracies and common experience of the radicalisation that took place mostly in the aftermath of 1968 proper. By comparing these three groups’ it has been uncovered that even with the same socio-political circumstances and ideological stance divergent styles did develop to embrace these issue.

▼ In the two to three decades that followed World War Two, approximately three-quarters of all New Zealand doctors, and up to ninety per cent of New Zealand medical specialists, travelled overseas for the purposes of obtaining post-graduate experience and qualifications. This thesis uses oral interviews, quantification techniques, and a range of textual analyses to explore the form and function of this large-scale professional migration, and to capture the experiences of those doctors who participated in it.
The central argument of this thesis is that the careers of New Zealand specialists during this period cannot be understood without making reference to a complex and mutually influential international system of
cultural and professional conventions, institutional rules, interpersonal networks, health related policies, and discursive formations. While powerfully centred on British medical norms and structures, this ‘Common-health’ system facilitated the transmission of people, ideas, technologies, and policies both within and between the nations of the British Commonwealth, in multiple directions by multiple means, and in doing so, was critical to the development of medical specialisation in the
twentieth century.
For New Zealand’s prospective specialists, the primary motivating force behind these migrations was the need to access populations that were large enough to facilitate specialist training. Britain’s much larger population and the existence of a range of
cultural and institutional commonalities, derived from nineteenth-
century colonisation, made Britain the default destination for thousands of New Zealand trainee specialists during the second half of the
twentieth century. However, while the Common-health system was a powerful facilitator of medical interaction and migration, it also functioned as a mechanism of exclusion that severely curtailed the ability of women doctors and those of non-European heritage to participate in professional medicine on their own terms. This thesis examines this restrictive aspect of post-World War Two medical networks with relation to women by suggesting that traditional beliefs about the role of women in medicine, together with the strongly informal nature of many professional interactions, not only limited the overall participation of women doctors, but also conditioned their ability to access particular specialty fields. The thesis also examines the reconfiguration of these patterns of connection during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and in particular, the emergence of the United States and Australia as important venues for post-graduate training for New Zealand’s prospective specialists.

▼ This thesis examines Spanish representations of Muslim and Jewish cultures in Morocco during the colonial campaigns in the Rif (1909-1927) in relation to constructions of Spanish identity during this period. It focuses on visual and textual narratives in the press (colonial photojournalism) and on three literary texts: Carmen de Burgos' En la guerra (1909), Ernesto Giménez Caballero's Notas marruecas de un soldado (1923) and Arturo Barea's La ruta (1943). The analysis undertaken centres on the use of the motifs of the body and the city and references to the medieval Castilian ballad tradition, the Romancero, by writers and photographers to explore the cultural relationship between Spain and North Africa. The chapters explore the delineation of boundaries between Spanish and Moroccan cultures by contemporary commentators and the power structures that underpin those boundaries, considering the different hierarchies that are established in Spain's relationship with Moroccan Muslims and Jews. Chapter 1 concerns the socio-historical context of the colonial campaigns and highlights the significance of the question of Spain's identity in relation to Morocco during this period. Chapter 2 compares representations of cultural and ethnic affinity between Spain and Morocco, arguing that beyond merely serving as a tool of colonial domination, they are harnessed in some cases to support the colonial venture, in others to challenge it, and yet in others to explore the pre-modern origins of the Spanish nation. In many of the examples examined, a process of self-Orientalisation is observed, where the 'Orientalist' and colonialist gaze is turned back on Spain as well as on Morocco. Chapter 3 examines representations of Muslim and Jewish alterity, arguing that these assertions of difference reveal Spanish anxieties about non-difference from North Africa, cultural regression, national fragmentation, and Spain's ability to dominate the protectorate. I conclude that these anxieties provide the fundamental underpinning to Spanish constructions of Morocco during the Rif War, and that this self-awareness about non-difference and failures of domination unsettles the predominant paradigm of discourse analysis within colonial studies.

▼ America is a nation of schools. In a country
famous for its early establishment of free schooling, American
schools have historically provided foundational shared experiences
for children, socializing them into American cultures and economies
while also preparing them for intellectual adulthood. Yet in the
1950s, a small number of American parents began to reject normative
schooling in favor of teaching their children themselves, an
approach that had been out of favor for decades. To most Americans,
the idea of a home school seemed oxymoronic, but twenty years later
more than ten thousand American children were enrolled in such
schools, and by 1999 the number had reached 850,000. By
2010, that number had once again doubled; in that year, roughly 1
out of every 25 American students was a homeschooler. In other
words, thanks to homeschooling, on average every American school
classroom is missing one student. Such astonishing growth inspires
questions relevant to the larger
history of American society. Given
that the idea that defines homeschooling – that schooling belongs
at home instead of in an institution – stands in clear opposition
to most modern schooling, how and why did contemporary
homeschooling begin and then, eventually, thrive? Why are two
million American children now going to “school” out of the sight
and (largely) the control of the American public? This dissertation
seeks to answer these questions through an in-depth analysis of the
history of homeschooling between 1950 and 2010, focusing on a case
study of Los Angeles County. Drawing on both archival sources and
oral
history, I argue that the
history of homeschooling highlights
an increasing loss of public confidence in institutions, a loss
that occurred as parents lost most of their ability to influence
the local schools upon which both the public good and the private
good of families and children relied. Homeschooling came to thrive
not just because homeschoolers avoided schools but because they
addressed the tension between family rights and the public good by
creating ways to provide a responsible education – one that the
public would eventually partially accept – under parental, rather
than institutional, control.

▼ The role of midwife has been an integral part of the culture of childbirth in Queensland throughout its history, but it is a role that has
been modified and reshaped over time. This thesis explores the factors that underpinned a crucial aspect of that modification and reshaping. Specifically, the thesis examines the factors that contributed to the statutory regulation of midwives that began in 1912 and argues that it was that event that etched the development of midwifery practice for the
remainder of the twentieth century.
In 1859, when Queensland seceded from New South Wales, childbirth was very much a private event that took place predominantly in the home attended by a woman who acted as midwife. In the fifty-threeyears that followed, childbirth became a medical event that was the subject of scrutiny by the medical profession and the state. The thesis argues that, the year 1912 marks the point at which the practice of midwifery by midwives in Queensland began a transition from lay practice in the home to qualified status in the hospital.
In 1912, through the combined efforts of the medical profession, senior nurses and the state, midwives in Queensland were brought under
the jurisdiction of the Nurses' Registration Board as "midwifery nurses".
The Nurses' Registration Board was established as part of the Health Act Amendment Act of 1911. The inclusion of midwives within a regulatory
authority for nurses represented the beginning of the end of midwifery practice as a discrete occupational role and marked its redefinition as a nursing specialty. It was a redefinition that suited the three major stakeholders.
The medical profession perceived lay midwives to be a disjointed and uncoordinated body of women whose practice contributed to needless loss of life in childbirth. Further, lay midwives inhibited the generalist medical practitioners' access to family practice. Trained nurses
looked upon midwifery as an extension of nursing and one which offered them an area in which they might specialise in order to enhance their
occupational status and career prospects. The state was keen to improve birth rates and to reduce infant mortality. It was prepared to accept that the regulation of midwives under the auspices of nursing was a reasonable and proper strategy and one that might assist it to meet its
objectives. It was these separate, but complementary, agendas that prompted the medical profession and the state to debate the culture of
childbirth, to examine the role of midwives within it, and to support the amalgamation of nursing and midwifery practice.
This thesis argues that the medical profession was the most active and persistent protagonist in the moves to limit the scope of midwives and
to claim midwifery practice as a medical specialty. Through a campaign to defame midwives and to reduce their credibility as birth attendants, the medical profession enlisted the help of senior nurses and the state in
order to redefine midwifery practice as a nursing role…

▼ Cette thèse se présente comme une enquête : elle constate tout d’abord l’existence, sur les scènes contemporaines (XXe-XXIe siècles), de personnages de bonimenteurs et d’une référence récurrente à un art du bonimenteur. Que charrie cet imaginaire ? Comment s’est constituée cette figure fictive, qui s’ancre néanmoins dans une histoire concrète ? En quoi les particularités du dispositif oral du boniment ont-elles pu contribuer à la pérenniser ? Notre recherche s’est organisée selon une double enquête historique : sur ce qui a constitué, au XIXe siècle, l’art du boniment, et sur l’entrée du boniment dans la fiction, notamment grâce à une artification partielle datant elle aussi du XIXe siècle. L'examen de la transition entre une fonction théâtrale précisément située dans le temps et une fonction dramatique active sur les scènes et les écrans modernes met au jour les spécificités du bonimenteur, qui, du fait de sa position entre salle et scène et entre son et image, semble créer un geste théâtral particulier.Cette enquête nous conduit ainsi à voir dans le bonimenteur une figure qui interroge le rapport du théâtre à l’oralité et à son histoire. Qui pourrait incarner en somme une autre image du théâtre, reposant sur la force d’un oral performé.
This thesis was written as an investigation. It first focuses on the presence on contemporary stages (20th and 21st centuries) of characters commonly known as bonimenteurs and the recurrent reference to the art of boniment. What does this imaginary world convey? How was this fictional figure constructed and how is it rooted in a tangible history? And how have certain specific oral codes used in boniment contributed to its historical durability? Our research was developed around a dual historical investigation. It examines what constituted the art of boniment throughout the 19th century, while also considering the introduction of boniment into fiction, due in part to a partial shift into an art form also observed in the 19th century. The study of the transition between a theatrical function precisely defined in a historical timeline and an active dramatic function on stage and modern screens highlights the specificities of the bonimenteur. Thanks to his or her position between room and stage, sound and image, the bonimenteur seems to create a specific dramatic gesture.This work also leads us to consider the bonimenteur as a figure questioning theatre’s relationship with orality and its history, which may embody another representation of theater based on the power of orality as performance.

▼ Cette thèse est consacrée à la réception de la figure et de l’œuvre de Béla Bartók (1881-1945) en Italie, dans la première moitié du XXe siècle. Opérée depuis un point de vue musicologique, l’analyse de l’influence bartókienne dans les œuvres de nombreux compositeurs italiens (d’Alfredo Casella à Bruno Maderna) invite à reconsidérer l’évolution du modernisme artistique en Italie, ainsi que les fondements de la poétique du musicien hongrois – informée par le nationalisme magyar, la « pureté » du folklore paysan et l’utopie de la « musique nocturne ». Par ailleurs, l’étude des formes de transmission et de critique de l’un des compositeurs canoniques du siècle dernier soulève des enjeux plus généraux, qui relèvent de l’histoire culturelle : la continuité entre modernisme artistique et totalitarisme, les formes et les significations de la résistance culturelle, les rapports entre musique et diplomatie, la construction du mythe antifasciste de Bartók. À bien des égards, la « vague bartókienne » qui s’affirma en Italie pendant la période de la guerre froide fut l’aboutissement de la fusion entre le mythe de Bartók – ce « musicien de la liberté » dont parlait le critique Massimo Mila – et le mythe de la renaissance nationale. Une fusion qui avait ses origines dans le paysage sonore de la dictature fasciste et de la Resistenza.
This thesis focuses on the reception of Béla Bartók’s music and figure in Italy during the first half of the twentieth century. From a musicological standpoint, the analysis of Bartók’s influence on the works of several Italian composers (from Alfredo Casella to Bruno Maderna) invites us to reconsider the evolution of artistic modernism in Italy, as well as the foundations of Bartók’s poetics – which is informed by Hungarian nationalism, the “purity” of peasant folklore, and the utopia of “night music”. Furthermore, the study of the forms of transmission and criticism of one of the canonical composers of the last century raises broader issues concerning cultural history, such as: the continuity between artistic modernism and totalitarianism, the forms and meanings of cultural resistance, the relation between music and diplomacy, and the construction of the antifascist myth of Bartók.This thesis argues that the Bartókian Wave, which emerged in Italy during the early Cold War period, was the result of the fusion between the Bartók myth – i.e. the “musician of freedom” celebrated by the critic Massimo Mila – and the myth of national regeneration: a fusion that had its origins in the soundscape of Fascist dictatorship and the Resistenza.
