▼ Nowadays it is not unusual to see Balinese gamelan instruments played by computeroperated robots at a trendy Brooklyn art gallery. After a short drive northeast to the MIT campus, one may encounter the inverse; a nearly complete Balinese gamelan gong kebyar fashioned from plastic, played by humans, and emitting a cornucopia of electronically manipulated music concrète. Hop onto YouTube and one can find dozens of amateur Balinese musicians singing multi-tracked rock, reggae and hip-hop arrangements of classical Balinese poetry. From the intense sentimentality of acoustic spa music by accomplished Balinese composers, to the “Zumba meets Yoga” aesthetics of aerobic Balinese dance classes, the 21st century finds the eccentricity of Balinese fusion projects as neither alien nor aberration. Balinese fusion musics comment on issues as diverse as cultural preservation, cosmopolitanism, pan-Asian identity and liberal multiculturalism. This work strives to broaden contemporary discourse on Balinese music by looking at the ways in which North American, Japanese and Balinese artists, creatively interact with notions of “Balineseness” as a reified discursive object. I argue that these essentialized notions of Balinese cultural identity cannot be separated from the “real” Bali and are thus capable of producing meaningful discourse on cultural difference that are relevant to the particular social cultural and conditions that produce the work.

▼ This thesis was conceived as an attempt to use the terms hybridity and third space in historical archaeology with a comparative analysis of early colonial churches and Maya dwellings on the Yucatán Peninsula and Belize. This analysis was aimed at reconsidering the influence of the indigenous societies in colonial encounters represented as hybrid material culture. The first part of this study analyzes colonialism and archaeology from a postcolonial perspective. The idea was to break away from binary models and Eurocentric colonizer-donor vs colonized-receptor approaches in colonial encounters presenting instead, an ambivalent relationship in which the colonizer and the colonized identity and materiality is negotiated and recreated.
The second part presents a brief overview of the Maya chronological framework, in order to continue with the colonial period. Colonialism in Mexico is examined showing how colonial institutions of power established the basis for a new urbanism and religious architecture. Three explorations were made in the Espiritu Santo Bay which were aimed at identifying colonial hamlets or rancherias caused by the congregaciones. Special attention was paid to the site Kachambay and its church Nuestra Señora de la Limpia Concepción which was founded in 1621 and mentioned in the legajo Mexico 906. Two new site were found in the north of Espiritu Santo Bay, proving the presence of human activity in a region commonly considered as uninhabited or desploblado.
The third part discusses the thesis in general and compares Maya dwelling and Spanish churches in terms of plans and building materials. The results showed that the continuity of use of construction materials such as masonry, stucco, thatched roofs or ramadas, as well as apsidal, circular, and squared plans are possible to observe in some types of churches. It is argued in this thesis that archaeological works about colonial churches are poor and more studies are required in order to understand the cultural changes in the early colonial life on the Yucatán Peninsula and Belize.

Mes Tissages : self-fashioning and performance in the autobiographical work of Sand, Bernhardt and Colette.

▼ This dissertation examines the self-fashioning of three female writers/artists, George Sand (1804-1876), Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) and Gabrielle-Sidonie Colette (1873-1954). Considering their shared affinity with writing and the theater, I argue that each author refashions her self-portrait and public image by means of a unique textual performance, which is conveyed through clothing on stage as actresses (Bernhardt and Colette), backstage as playwrights, and on the page as authors. My goal in this work is to connect the autobiographical corpus of these three writers to the art of needlework and textile in the context of genre, gender, identity and performance. I am particularly interested in the ways fabric serves as a literal and metaphoric second skin to Sand, Bernhardt and Colette, who present the private self (the feminine body) to the public. First, I will analyze how Sand uses a patchwork of various genres in Histoire de ma vie (1854). Next, I will focus on Sarah Bernhardt’s ability to use the autobiographical genre as a draping cloth to perform various identities in a fiction of her reality in order to conceal the self in Ma double vie (1907) and in the visual arts. I ultimately show how Colette embroiders an imaginary canvas as a form of metaphor in Claudine series (1900-1904), and La Vagabonde (1911) as well as three later works: La maison de Claudine’s “La couseuse” (1922), Mes apprentissages (1936) and Broderie ancienne (1944). Textual analysis of autobiographies, memoirs, auto-fictions, and manuscripts, as well as close studies of agendas, newspapers and correspondence comprise the various sources I examine. I most importantly focus on the role of textiles in and within the autobiographical narratives in order to analyze the authors’ strategies to subvert the dominant phallocentric discourses and power structures from the fall of the July Monarchy with the Revolution of 1848 to the end of La Belle Époque in 1914.

Crossing the line: contemporary mediated performances of hybridity.

▼ Within the U.S., particular anxieties surrounding racially and ethnically marked “others” reflect particular historical moments, and today ours are prompted by contemporized fears of immigration and terrorism. In this dissertation, I take up these issues, focusing on contemporary instantiations and negotiations of hybridity within U.S. culture. While hybridity has been examined at length, the ways in which hybridity is mobilized in distinctive ways through or by various bodies have been relatively overlooked. Thus, I examine the ways in which hybridity is rhetorically embodied and mobilized within contemporary mainstream media. I take up these issues with a focus on two questions: (a) How is hybridity mobilized in distinctive ways in, through, or by various bodies, particularly as reflective of historical context? (b) How does “the body”-in particular, specific deployments of the body-feature in contemporary articulations of hybridity? I answer these questions through a critical analysis of texts, drawing from both critical rhetoric and critical performance studies. I focus on two competition-style reality dance shows, So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) and Dancing with the Stars (DWTS); the competition-style reality show America’s Next Top Model (ANTM); and three Food Network cooking shows, Simply Delicioso with Ingrid Hoffmann, Aarti Party, and Everyday Italian. Analysis of these texts suggest that hybridity is mobilized in varied and distinctive ways by, through, and on variously marked bodies. Ultimately, this study refines extant theorizing on hybridity: While borders are inevitably critical to any conceptualizations of hybridity, this project reveals nuance and complexities of how borders are accomplished and navigated across these various embodied mobilizations and illuminate particularized contemporary anxieties regarding race/ethnicity. Hybridity in a current context appears to be articulated as-conflated with-individual uniqueness and authenticity, the expression of which is encouraged and celebrated, but only within very specific contexts or confines. Ultimately, then, via its location in and deployment by particular bodies, hybridity is articulated as a feature and expression of the unique, authentic self, as opposed to a politics of identity, in ways that justify discipline of race/ethnicity if and when hybridity “crosses the line.”

▼ This research is concerned with the problems and
possibilities of combining diverse forms of peacebuilding in the
same peacebuilding space. It analyses patterns of interaction
between various forms of peacebuilding using a framework of
hybridity. Within debates on peacebuilding hybridities, frictional
encounters are situated between international peacebuilders and
‘locals’ who are predominantly conceptualised as domestic,
indigenous and globally Southern. While enhancing understandings of
local/international interactions, this conceptualisation excludes
constituencies of locals who occupy global spaces – those in
diaspora. Diaspora activists have been shown to ambivalently shape
other processes of homeland change as either mediators or meddlers
due to the opportunities and limitations arising from being in
diaspora. In spite of this, an in-depth understanding of the roles
of diaspora in hybrid peacebuilding debates is lacking. When
diaspora activists have been analysed in relation to peacebuilding,
it has been primarily outside of the framework of
hybridity which –
due to its roots in postcolonial theory – extolls resistance to
international peacebuilding as having enormous peacebuilding
potential. As such, diaspora who resist international peacebuilding
processes have been consistently cast as peace-wreckers which
belies the tolerance for resistance so central to hybrid analyses.
In light of the potential for diaspora, and particularly those in
opposition to formal peacebuilding, to transform, assuage or
exacerbate patterns of interaction between locals and
internationals, this research centralises diaspora opposition
activism in a hybrid analysis of a peacebuilding space. It does
this through a single case study of UK Sudanese activists and their
contributions to Sudanese peacebuilding. Sudanese peacebuilding is
characterised by its diversity: it combines international peace
agreements, elite dialogues, top-down transitional justice with
local-level community reconciliation and bottom-up political change
movements. It therefore provides an exemplary case of a
peacebuilding space in which multiple forms of peacebuilding with
diverse, and often contradictory aims, coalesce and contend with
one another. The study examines how Sudanese activists resident in
the UK shape the patterns of interaction within Sudanese
peacebuilding, and asks how various aspects of ‘being in diaspora’
make those contributions possible. In doing so, this research
contributes to understandings of how, why and with what effects
diverse actors, ideas and processes combine during
peacebuilding.

▼ This submission for the degree of Master of Philosophy in musical composition at the Elder Conservatorium of Music, University of Adelaide, consists of a portfolio of original compositions supported by an explanatory exegesis. The central concept for the creative exploration represented by these works is the idea of composing for bowed string instruments, cellos in particular, in a stylistically eclectic manner that will confront classically trained performers with rhythms drawn from a wide range of non-classical and non-European musical traditions. In this sense the project may be regarded as related to a contemporary ‘crossover’ approach, but hopefully without some of the more negative connotations of that problematic marketing term. The five pieces in the portfolio are: Marimbello, for marimba and violoncello; Camino Trio, for piano, violin and violoncello; Trilogy, for an ensemble of 8 to 12 cellos and percussion; Son Montucello, for two cellos; and Kaleidoscope, concerto for two cellos, string orchestra and piano. In addition to the scores presented in Part A, and the exegesis in Part B, there is a DVD containing live recordings of all the pieces. These recordings are integral to the submission, because they embody the performance practice of interpreting the notated rhythms in the appropriate styles.

▼ In my thesis, I argue that the way of writing in Shame and Haroun and the Sea of Stories has a kind of transgressive ability. I will examine what kind of characteristics of the texts and their way of writing can be ascribed to certain transgressive strategies and how transgression appears at certain levels of the texts. I will focus on two transgressive strategies:
hybridity and textual excess, on the basis of Benyei Tamas’s work that deals with transgressive abilities or possibilities of magical realist texts. I do not intend to put the label of magical realism on these two novels that I will analyse, but in my opinion this guideline for the possibility of transgression, offered by Benyei, has relevance in these novels.

▼ Sicily, as a crossroads of the Mediterranean, is no stranger to the occupation of non-native people. Its history of change and occupation made Sicily a melting pot of cultural identity, and the island should be studied as a nexus of cultural
hybridity. The fifth century BCE marked a pivotal moment on the island, as the rising conflict between the Greeks and Carthaginians culminated in war until the eventual subjugation of Greek lands at the hands of the Romans in the third century BCE. Remnants of material culture, whether monumental architecture, currency, trade of small objects, or dedicatory sculpture, offer modern scholars a chance to trace critical moments of interaction in Sicily. This thesis explores such moments in the history of Sicily’s material culture in order to propose a new understanding of the interaction between Greeks and Carthaginians in Sicily, especially during periods of heightened conflict between the two cultures. By closely studying moments of intense conflict, as well as significant material remains and works of art, this project aims to provide a more complete picture of the complex nature of interaction in Archaic and early Classical Sicily. The subsequent chapters will explore material culture from Punic, Greek, and indigenous sites for evidence of influence spurred by interaction. Using specific sculptural and architectural monuments on the island as case studies, namely the Motya Youth statue found at the Sanctuary or Cappidazzu in Mozia, two Greek archaizing stelai from the Campo di Stele at the Zeus Meilichios sanctuary in Selinous, and the Doric temple of Segesta, I show the ways that cross-cultural influences permeated the material culture of all peoples of Sicily. Future research will continue to dispel the colonial myth of “Hellenization” and show that the culture of Sicily was a mosaic and unique blend of Punic, Greek, and indigenous convergence in the sixth to fourth centuries BCE.

▼ Metaphors potentially provide people a way to communicate deep meaning in an everyday sense. Homi K. Bhabha imagines
hybridity in terms of space, and both Mukherjee and Abu-Jaber build on Bhabha???s spatial conception by incorporating orientation concepts that deal with time (past-future). When Mukherjee and Abu-Jaber utilize literary metaphors to convey the experience of cultural
hybridity, they build, extend, and elaborate conceptual systems about
hybridity and therefore help readers imagine new ways to perceive the experience. The unique metaphors these authors create are absolutely relevant to the study of cultural globalization because these metaphors maintain focus on complex human experiences that are difficult to deconstruct and explain. To analyze metaphors, this thesis uses the language of the ???Cognitive Linguistic View of Metaphor??? (or Cognitive Linguistics Conceptual Metaphor, CLCM) as developed by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson.

▼ Colonial powers exert dominance over their subject countries in multiple registers, for example, education and spatial constructions, which foster the colonised other‘s identification with the colonial power centre. Racial and local cultures of subject nations are thus systematically distorted and the transmission of memory through material culture is obscured. Focusing on contemporary Taiwan, this research examines how architectural and ideological strategies were employed by the dominant authorities to consolidate the power centre and explores possible means for shaping Taiwanese spatial subjectivity in the historical aftermath of such situations. The research examines the Formosans‘ ambiguous identification with local cultures and marginal spatial propositions, as well as discussing the inculcation of the 'great Chinese ideology‘ by analysing the teaching materials used in modern Taiwanese primary education. Reviewing aspects of contemporary post-colonial theory, the research explores the spatial implications of Taiwanese post-colonial textual narratives and argues for them as a potential source for the construction of contemporary spatial conditions, as these novels are shaped by an awareness of the importance of local cultures and the voices of marginalised people. The thesis thus suggests that a re-thinking of Taiwan‘s public spaces can be stimulated by spatial metaphors in textual narratives that associate peoples‘ memories of political and local events with spatial images that were previously suppressed. To explore the potential for the generation of space through reference to literary works, this research studies the ‗narrative architecture‘ experiments of the 1970s and 80s and goes on to propose a series of representational media for the construction of spatial narrations in Taiwan. Multiple spatial propositions concerning the island‘s post-colonial condition can be suggested by the visualisation of spatial metaphors that are embedded in Taiwanese textual narratives. At the end of the thesis, two proposals for post-colonial spatial narration are put forward, which transform the spatial propositions latent in the devices developed through a new juxtaposition with existing urban contexts. The intention of the research is to indicate a new urban spatial strategy for Taiwan, one that can allow its people to grasp the multiple layers of their conflicted spatial history while at the same time responding to the ongoing spatial confrontation between the power centre and the voices in the margins.

▼ This thesis explores the distinctive formation of identity by Chinese diaspora on New Zealand’s most popular Chinese portal site www.skykiwi.co.nz. Following Gee’s framework of discourse analysis, this study is projected to find out the distinctive language produced on Skykiwi and how this language is used to enact social actors’ identities. In particular, different levels and dimensions of discourse analysis, including lexical and intertextual, linguistic and psychological, are deployed as strategic tools to analyze the selected online articles and discussion forum material. The findings of this qualitative research show that there is a distinct mode of hybridity in identity discourse on the site. This thesis argues that this hybrid identity is constructed by maintaining Chinese culture, and meanwhile using the Chinese meaning system to make sense of life in New Zealand so as to promote a partial integration. In this process, a virtual community is built on Skykiwi where the members show a strong sense of belonging and solidarity to the group. The study re-examines theories of transnationalism and hybridization, diaspora and media, sense-making and identity, centripetal and centrifugal forces of the internet, diasporic media and networks, imagined community, and particularly contributes to the knowledge of Chinese diasporic identity and virtual community on the internet.

▼ In the two novels, The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy and Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie, characters show that their preconceptions and encounter with the Westerners play a big role in how they view Westerners and/or Indians who have adapted to or grown up with the Western lifestyle. Due to Roy’s family being a group of “Anglophiles” and liking the British, they see Sophie Mol being half-Indian as positive. Padma, Saleem’s partner in Rushdie’s novel, on the other hand, is less familiar with the British and therefore has problems accepting that Saleem is half-English. This difference between how the two families view the half-breeds, Sophie Mol and Saleem, can also be connected to the long history of colonialism, where Roy’s family has been trained to like the British, whilst Padma was born after India’s independence and was not trained to like the former colonists. Similarly, Chacko is being more accepted for his adaptation to English ways by his family than Aadam is by his family. However, Chacko is not accepted by the English, where he feels that he belongs, which makes both Chacko and Aadam feel “rootless” in their home culture. It is through these preconceptions and different encounters that characters view and believe that there is a difference in behaviour between the Indian and Western women, and that Westerners have a need to have higher status than the Indians. This essay shows that Indians have different views depending on their knowledge, lack of knowledge, interest or lack of faith in the West.

▼ Composing collectivity is a visual ethnography that explores musical performance in Havana, using experimental techniques to create a convergence of art, documentary and ethnography. In Cuba music is a way of life, a collective practice and a defining symbol of culture and identity, but also an intriguing example of intercultural performance: performances that incorporate multicultural influences as a component of artistic creation. This research not only explores new understandings of cultural
hybridity and intercultural performance, but also encourages consideration of the role of artistic freedom, experimentation and innovation within the visual ethnographic paradigm. The film and accompanying essay exemplify Cuban music not only as a positive artistic outcome of intercultural exchange, but also the ways in which different film styles can be used to explore society and culture within ethnographic research.

▼ Global migrations of the past century have forced many cultural groups to confront issues ranging from urban isolation to acculturated absorption. Major population shifts have resulted in the relocation of peoples of divergent backgrounds to convergent and crowded environs, and in the process, have forced individuals to grapple with their own identity. Peruvian author and ethno-anthropologist José María Arguedas personifies that reality. Indeed, I argue that Arguedas’s fictional writings anticipated those dramatic changes and their consequences, and are emblematic of the cultural turmoil of 20th century Peru, which itself is a microcosm of issues that concern many Third World populations in the postmodern era worldwide. While some critics argue that Arguedas’s style rejects postmodern traits, I make the case that his work is transitional, moving from the modern to the postmodern and that from the outset his fiction contains integral structures that decidedly fall into the latter category. Furthermore, I disagree with other critics’ evaluations of Arguedas’s work as simplistic and utopic, and argue that it demonstrates a complexity of vision that presages emerging events. Components of that vision include his creation of a new hybrid language, his expression of complex hybrid identity constructions among the subaltern and the hegemonic in rural performance and societal interaction, and magical real elements of autochthonous cosmovision that are widespread today. The internalized tensions resulting from hybridities of heritage that impede self-actualization are central to understanding his novels, informing the fractured postmodern personality. Further, I argue that Arguedas uses his personal experience of incarceration to reveal the prison as another fragmenting location of both the abject and the sublime. His final and most controversial work reveals postmodern society as a chaotic melding of modern-day capitalistic greed churning in today’s urban vortex combined with ancient mythical performance as a comedic yet assertive language of cultural resistance, with the individual identity caught precipitously in the middle. Through his work, Arguedas is a prophetic signifier of the hybrid world with which we struggle today.

▼ Käsittelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani maahanmuuttajien kulttuurisen identiteetin muodostumista ja hybridisen identiteetin vaikutusta etniseen imitointiin Karolina Waclawiakin romaanissa How to Get into the Twin Palms (2012), jonka puolalais-amerikkalainen päähenkilö alkaa esittämään venäläistä päästäkseen sisään vain venäläisille tarkoitettuun yökerhoon.
Alati globalisoituvassa maailmassa maahanmuuttajien identiteetin tutkiminen on yhä tärkeämpi aihe, ja erityisesti etninen imitointi eri muodoissaan heijastelee hyvin monikulttuurisen identiteetin aiheuttamia ongelmia. Tarkoituksenani on tutkia monikulttuurista identiteettiä ja etnistä imitointia muun muassa Homi K. Bhabhan hybriditeettiteorian ja mimikointi-käsitteen kautta, joiden uskon selittävän miksi romaanin päähenkilö hylkää oman puolalais-amerikkalaisen kulttuuri-identiteettinsä ja alkaa tavoittelemaan venäläistä kulttuuri-identiteettiä. Käsittelen tutkielmassani myös urbaanin tilan vaikutusta henkilön kulttuuri-identiteetin muodostumiseen, sillä Waclawiakin romaanissa Los Angelesillä vaikuttaa olevan merkittävä rooli päähenkilön imitointiprosessissa.
Tutkielmani tavoitteena on löytää yhteys hybridisen identiteetin, urbaanin tilan ja etnisen imitoinnin välillä. Tutkielman teoriaosuudessa pyrin ensin määrittelemään mitä maahanmuuttajakirjallisuudella ylipäänsä tarkoitetaan, jonka jälkeen käsittelen sekä puolalaisten, että puolalais-amerikkalaisten maahanmuuttajien historiaa, sillä koen tämän olevan tärkeää selvitettäessä romaanin päähenkilön motiiveja hänen käytökselleen. Tämän jälkeen esittelen Bhabhan hybriditeettiteorian, jonka jälkeen siirryn määrittelemään etnisen imitoinnin eri muotoja, sen historiallisia vaikutuksia, sekä Bhabhan mimikointi-käsitteen yhteyttä etniseen imitointiin. Teoriaosuuden lopuksi esittelen urbaanin tilan tutkimuksen peruskäsitteitä sekä niiden yhteyksiä yksilön identiteetin muovautumiseen. Teoriaosuutta seuraava analyysiosio on jaettu kolmeen aihepiiriin, joissa tutkin päähenkilön identiteetin muovautumista, hänen etnisen imitoinnin prosessiaan, sekä Los Angelesin roolia päähenkilön toiminnassa.
Tutkielma osoittaa, että hybridisellä identiteetillä ja sen aiheuttamalla juurettomuuden tunteella voi olla vaikutus siihen, että henkilö alkaa imitoimaan toisen etnisyyden piirteitä, ja että urbaani tila ympäristönä voi vaikuttaa yksilön identiteettiin.

▼ In this paper I intend to provide an insight into the current position and state of mind
of British Asians through three landmark novels of the contemporary British Asian writers
Hanif Kureish, Zadie Smith and Monica Ali. After a theoretical introduction to key terms
such as cultural identity,
hybridity and multiculturalism, this paper will outline the position
and problems of British Asians in Great Britain and their manifestation in arts. The second
section will cover South Asian literature on migration, assimilation and identity, followed by
an introduction to the life and works of Kureishi, Smith and Ali, in terms of their experiences
of being ’other’, motivations to write about as well as their thoughts on immigrant issues and
the introduction of the three novels I chose to represent the confusion of cultural identity of
British Asians in contemporary British literature: The Buddha of Suburbia, White Teeth, and
Brick Lane. Finally, the third section will concentrate on the characters of the three novels,
classified according to generations and gender, starting with the analysis of the first and second generation, followed by British Asian women. In conclusion, I will present how
several contemporary writers and scholars tend to accept
hybridity as a phenomenon of
cultural identity and a possible answer to the confusion of cultural identity, and how
multiculturalism can be a new hope for immigrants and natives alike for the new millennium.

▼ My argument in this dissertation is that exposure to multiple cultures through various media and social networks complicates identity formation as adolescents find new ways of socializing within and across borders. Such social connectedness contributes to the emergence of both a new sense of selfhood marked by multiple allegiances or lack thereof, and a new type of Bildungsroman. Questions that this dissertation seeks to elucidate include: in this interconnected and media-oriented world, how has the notion of Bildung changed? How does multicultural consciousness shape the young protagonist’s sense of self, community and place? How is identity negotiated both at home and in a foreign setting? How does the thematization of this new configuration affect the form and the meaning of the Bildungsroman?

▼ Water is one of the most essential resources for the sustainable development. With the tendency of urbanization and population growth, a more sustainable urban water system becomes important to create harmonized environment between human and nature, thus it is necessary to discuss integrated urban water management in a holistic manner. In this research, starting from a water management model closed city, hybridity is identified as one character of urban water system and its contributions to improve closed city are studied by collaboration work between two disciplines, water management and urban design. A hypothesis of three components of hybridity of urban water systems is raised, which are spatial hybridity, environmental hybridity and governance hybridity. Each component consists of different elements that are involved and influence each other in urban water system. This report presents the results of spatial hybridity and environmental hybridity in a case study area Zevenkamp in Rotterdam city, the Netherlands. Methodology to analyze and evaluate spatial and environmental hybridity is developed in the perspective of urban design and water management respectively, and then be applied to assess current situation in Zevenkamp. Based on the current analysis results, five future visions are set up according to the concept of closed city and then collaborative design between two disciplines is carried out to clarify the urban layout for each vision. Added values of hybridity in each vision is assessed by quantification, as well as their performance as a closed city. Finally, all the results are compared together and discussed. Some main conclusions can be obtained from this research, which are given as follows: • Hybridity concept addresses the importance of inter-disciplinary work, and it is able to provide a thinking way to promote the collaborative processes. Based on the cooperation between two disciplines in this research, it will be helpful to guide future collaboration when more expertise are involved. • Hybridity concept gives a broader perspective on the discussion of grey and green solutions, which is not conflicting to recent debates on the importance of combination of both types of measures. • Hybridity concept can improve the design of closed city which can enhance citizens’ appreciation on urban water systems without compromising the physical performance of closed city. It will motivate locals to engage in urban water management, which can lead to the study of governance hybridity. In addition, it also inspires urban water managers for more comprehensive understandings to a more sustainable urban water management.

▼ A key aim of this study is to shed light on the representation of coloured women with reference to racial passing, using fictive characters depicted in Sarah Gertrude Millin’s (1924) God's Stepchildren, Zoë Wicomb's (2006) Playing in the Light, and Pat Stamatélos's (2005) Kroes, as presented by these three racially distinct female South African authors. Since I propose that literature provides a link between a subjective history and the under-represented narratives from the margins, I use literature to reimagine these. I analyse the ways in which the authors present 'hybrid' identities within their characters in different ways, and provide an explanation and contextual basis for the exploration of the theme of 'passing for and as white' within South Africa's complex history. I provide a sociological explanation of the act of racial passing in South Africa with reference to the United States by incorporating Nella Larsen's (1929) Passing. Since the analyses will concentrate on coloured females within the texts, gendered identity and female sexuality and stereotypes will be the focus. I look at the act and agent of passing, the role of raced and gendered performance in giving meaning to social identities, and the way in which the female body is constructed in racial terms in order to confer identity. Tracing the historical origins of coloured identity and coloured female identity, I interrogate this colonial, post-colonial, apartheid and post-apartheid history by employing a feminist lens. A combination of postcolonial feminist discourse analysis, sociological inquiry and feminist narrative analysis
are therefore the methods I use to achieve my research aims. Chapter 1: The concepts of 'coloured', 'coloured identity', and 'passing' are introduced. I provide a historical overview of the origins of 'colouredness' in the South African context to examine the historical, ideological and social implications of the
subject matter under discussion. Chapter 2: Set over a period between the years 1821 to 1921 God's Stepchildren deals with a family spanning four generations, bound by 'tainted' blood. I focus on the character Elmira who represents the third generation of the initial 'miscegenation'. I look at the effect the racist social milieu has on the author’s representation of coloured women and how this translates into apparently insurmountable beliefs that stereotypes equal nature. Chapter 3: Playing in the Light confronts racial passing through an unwitting passer and her intentionally passing parents. I analyse how Wicomb presents the protagonist's struggle to relocate her identity in contemporary South African society. I compare the attitudes toward race presented by the characters, especially across the two generations of passing women in the novel in order to demonstrate a progression in attitudes toward passing. Chapter 4: Kroes, published in 2005, is partially biographical. The novel is set in urban Cape Town and Johannesburg of the late 1950s to 1970. The protagonist, and central passing figure, narrates the story…

▼ This thesis examines how hip-hop has become a meaningful cultural movement for contemporary artists in Hamburg and in Oldenburg. The comparative analysis is guided by a three-dimensional theoretical framework that considers the spatial, historical and social influences, which have shaped hip-hop music, dance, rap and graffiti art in the USA and subsequently in the two northern German cities. The research methods entail participant observation, semi-structured interviews and a close reading of hip-hop’s cultural texts in the form of videos, photographs and lyrics. The first chapter analyses the manifestation of hip-hop music in Hamburg. The second chapter looks at the local adaptation of hip-hop’s dance styles. The last two chapters on rap and graffiti art present a comparative analysis between the art forms’ appropriation in Hamburg and in Oldenburg.
In comparing hip-hop’s four main elements and their practices in two distinct cities, this research project expands current German hip-hop scholarship beyond the common focus on rap, especially in terms of rap being a voice of the minority. It also offers insights into the ways in which artists express their local, regional or national identity as a culturally hybrid state, since hip-hop’s art forms have always been the result of cultural and artistic mixture. The theoretical focus on spatiality, historicality and sociality moreover reveals different and even contradicting manifestations of cultural
hybridity and identity in hip-hop. In particular, this thesis looks at the formation of post-hybrid identities, with which hip-hop artists aim at expressing their multiculturality as an inherent part of their life in Germany.

▼ This dissertation poses a fundamental question: why does a concern about the value of literary writing emerge during a felt crisis in public speech, especially in times of war? My focus is 1934, the year that Hitler became Führer and Socialist Realism was formulated in the USSR. In this year, Mikhail Bakhtin and Erich Auerbach developed the foundations of their narrative theory, while Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis embarked on new ventures in genre. Despite their differences, I argue, these writers all sought to challenge the linguistic basis of political power by developing new forms that engage readers in independent, active ways. Woolf, Eliot, and Lewis responded to totalitarianism with experiments in generic hybridity, believing that inter-generic dialogue could promote social dialogue and democratic modes of thought.
My introduction analyses the political and aesthetic implications of German and Soviet propaganda in 1934. Chapter 1 establishes a theoretical frame through two works written in exile from these totalitarian regimes. Bakhtin’s “Discourse in the Novel” and Auerbach’s Mimesis both posit the centrality of genre to political freedom, but Bakhtin’s binary of monologic poetry and dialogic prose contrasts with Auerbach’s arguments for the political potential of mixed forms. Chapter 2 shows how similar concerns about pluralist voicing inform debates concerning the “death of poetry” in England; nonetheless, I conclude that the political poetry of Thirties Poets often privileged ideology over dialogism. Three chapters then explore the emergence of hybrid genres in Woolf, Eliot, and Lewis. I argue that Woolf’s unpublished “Ode to Cutbush” is a prose-poetic hybrid that employs poetic rhythm and free indirect discourse to instill democratic values of empathy and tolerance; that Eliot’s first completed play, The Rock, invokes the ideological complexities and unresolved political contradictions of his journalism and editorial practice to incite the audience’s active collaboration; and that Lewis’s novelistic poem One-Way Song attempts to escape the increasingly monologic voice of his political writings and return to the polyphonic style and polyvalent thinking of his earlier work. My conclusion demonstrates these writers’ continuing commitment to the democratic potential of generic hybridity during World War II.

▼ The focus of this research was to investigate the response of high school art teachers in Ghana to the country’s cultural policy of preserving Ghanaian cultural values. The study was done in Ghana by interviewing ten high school art teachers, conducting a survey of fifty high school art teachers, examining students’ projects, and taking a cursory look at the 2004 cultural policy document of Ghana. The theoretical frameworks were mainly based on post-colonialism and multicultural education, with a focus on the concepts of ambivalence,
hybridity, globalization, and identity formation. The study involved a qualitative inquiry approach with some descriptive statistics to illustrate the context and picture of the data that reflect the responses of the participants on the preservation of cultural values. The major findings of the study reveal, (a) a support for the preservation of cultural values, while outmoded ones need to be abolished, (b) a call for a review of the cultural policy to meet changing demands of time, (c) that the cultural policy epitomizes a hybrid of both public and private ownership of cultural capital and practices, (d) that contemporary Ghanaian culture defines the curriculum and pedagogical practice of the art teacher with little impact from the cultural policy. These findings reflect a growing change in Ghanaian peoples’ values and identities in the educational landscape of Ghana. I recommend that a national discourse analysis be organized on the cultural policy of Ghana to further examine its relevance in relation to transformation in global technological and educational developments.

▼ The year this dissertation was submitted there were more individuals forcibly displaced around the world than at any other point in history. Research describing the vulnerabilities, human rights violations, and challenges individuals, families, and communities encounter across the spectrum of migration is readily accessible. Less available are studies that document the strengths-focused response strategies women refugees engage to navigate systems and experiences associated with displacement. This research, developed with the purpose to answer questions residing in this gap, is a series of ethnographic case studies documenting experiences of resilience, identity construction, and mothering among Karen refugee women from Burma. I define a response strategy as a tool engaged by an individual or community to navigate forced migration and promote the resilience of interpersonal connections, and cope individually and collectively with the challenges inherent to cultural transformation. Through this conceptual model I explore the experiences of women refugees from Burma living in refugee camps on the Thai-Burma border and post-resettlement in the United States. Discourse, positional identity and hybridity frame, from a theoretical perspective, the tension inherent to the transformation of systems and structures. In particular, in this research I engage hybridity theory and the space of cultural difference to articulate the intersection of this transformation with the migration narratives of Karen women. The total study period was eleven months and characterized by two distinct phases of data collection. In the first phase I spent three weeks in two refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border conducting participant observation and informal interviews with Karen refugee women. In the refugee camps I partnered with the American Refugee Committee (ARC). The maternal-child health focus of ARC programs in the camps along the Thai-Burma border is highly regarded. In the second phase of data collection and analysis, I recruited and interviewed repeatedly a cohort of twelve Karen women post-resettlement in the United States over a seven-month period. An essential community partner in this phase of research was the Karen Organization of Minnesota (KOM). The KOM was the first Karen run organization in the United States advocating and supporting the experiences of refugees from Burma in resettlement. I formally approached the analysis of each phase of data collection using Spradley’s levels of analysis, a classical method of analysis in ethnographic research. In working through the four levels of Spradley’s analysis I reconstructed, from the narratives of refugee women, processes integral in self-understanding, identity, and the negotiation of factors associated with migration. This method of analysis supported an intricate approach to the data. I was able to establish broader categories of meaning, such as response strategies that support the health of individuals, families, and communities. Spradley’s analysis was…

▼ This study helps us understand the complexities of transnational abandonment, and transnational abandonment in the context of Saudi heritage in particular. Based on a textual analysis of narratives on a blog by individuals abandoned by their Saudi fathers, my findings suggest that they discursively construct their identity in three ways: a) by negotiating their illegitimate status as perceived by many Saudis, and the validity of their search; b) by making sense of the absence of father and the cultural knowledge of the paternal side, while negotiating the inevitable presence of the father in many other ways and their ethnic difference; c) by navigating the tensions of continuing with the search and anticipating the consequences. These themes highlight how conditions of father absence, particularly where the father has a national origin different from one's own has dynamic and conflicting implications socially and culturally, and for production of identities for their children. In sum, this study challenges uncritical celebration of multiculturalism in the US, and broadens the understanding of the complexities of hybrid identities.

▼ Hybrid beings have been a part of the artistic imagination since art was first made on cave walls and rock faces. Yet their visual makeup and symbolic meanings have changed over time from deities, demons, and oddities of nature to unconscious states of being and the socially and culturally marginalized. This dissertation will examine a history of hybrid beings and the work of Australian artist Patricia Piccinini. Her silicone sculptures, photographs, installations, and videos are hyperrealistic representations of composite beings that appear to have blended rather than fragmented characteristics of human and animal, which sets them apart from their historic precedents. Piccinini suggests that her hybrids are products of genetic engineering, ostensibly created to serve human beings as comforters, nurturers, protectors, and surrogates for humans and endangered species alike. I argue that Piccinini's hybrids shed light on the hubris and commercialism inherent in bioscientific advances, yet they also reveal a kind of societal ambivalence regarding the posthuman era. Her works suggest utopian aspirations for the future while mourning the loss of humanity as it has been known. Examining Piccinini's art through the lens of liminality and the body, I will contextualize her hybrids within cultural and art historical models from ancient Egypt and Greece through the Victorian eras. In particular, I will establish common ground with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), which served as an early inspiration for Piccinini's images and conceptual aims. I will also highlight hybrid imagery in Dada and Surrealism and feminist art to reveal the similarities and differences in their approaches and intent. Piccinini's works operate within Donna J. Haraway's notion of the cyborg; therefore, I will also analyze her art within that theoretical model. In addition, I will compare and contrast Piccinini's art to early hyprerrealist sculptors and contemporary artists working in this manner. Piccinini's hybrids establish that both humans and animals are social constructs, and that society has a responsibility for the life forms it creates. Ultimately, this project demonstrates that Piccinini's hybrids are not cautionary tales of a dystopian future but representations of the biotechnological sublime.

▼ This dissertation project emerges from an interest in immigrant labor, the globalization of southern literature, and the ways in which laboring bodies, specifically those of food processing workers, casino workers and motel workers, are represented in contemporary literary and cultural productions. Literary and cultural productions about immigrants and immigrant labor aim to problematize and challenge the dominant perception of immigration and narratives of immigration that continue to perpetuate ideas of exploitation and alterity. In doing so, these texts contribute to the reconstruction of the U.S. South as a global region and to the liberation of southern literature from traditional conceptual models that reinforce its insularity and exceptionality. The introduction of this project argues for a different way of reading immigrant narratives that deconstruct binaries in the region in order to situate new immigrant narratives as contributing to the extension of the boundaries and borders of the southern literature. Here the movement of people across constructed national boundaries is no longer situated between spatially and temporally differentiated areas, but instead is seen as taking place within a global system. The contemporary cultural productions analyzed in the dissertation provide varying representations of immigrant labor and labor exploitation and include works of literature and a film. The first chapter examines the ways in which the contemporary immigrant narrative is employed in the novel Holy Radishes! by Roberto G. Fernández in order to trace the perpetuation of labor exploitation through exiled female employees of a food processing plant in Florida. Chapter two provides an analysis of Tom Wolfe's A Man in Full and focuses on the novel's rendering of undocumented immigrant workers in food processing plants and its challenges to the ideological and Social perceptions of immigrant labor. The third chapter focuses on representations of immigrant labor, which is performed in the public sphere of the casino industry in Cynthia Shearer's The Celestial Jukebox. The final chapter analyzes Mira Nair's film Mississippi Masala and concentrates on the labor of Indian motel workers addressing, as in the previous chapters, deep-rooted labor history and historical labor traumas in the region.

▼ The Bildungsroman, a term that derived from German literary criticism, is a genre of literature that highlights popular conceptions of manhood and depicts the growth of the male protagonist. Many female authors use the Bildungsroman as a
form of cultural expression not only to transform patriarchal views, but also to redefine femininity, articulate cultural conflict, and describe what it means to be a woman in a colonized culture. I will revisit this topic in Michelle Cliff’s Abeng
(1984) and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus (2003), and examine family dynamics in order to show how each female protagonist negotiates the complexities of a hybrid identity and attempts to harmonize two opposite cultures.
