▼ Nineteenth-century Paraguay was a provincial backwater of the shattered Spanish colonial empire, a country that had forged its independence under the rule of autocrats, a country where most people spoke Guaraní, a vernacular of indigenous origins. From 1864 to 1870, Paraguay went to war with the Triple Alliance of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The conflict left Paraguay occupied by foreign armies and devastated with over half its population lost. This dissertation explores a history of state formation, religion, and war in the country before and during this catastrophic time. In particular, the dissertation reflects on how colonial religion helped to produce formative experiences of modern nationhood and citizenship. Conventional interpretations of Latin American history still generally regard the consolidation of nation-states as a starkly secular development. This study questions that formulation and considers how clergy and institutional practices of the Church actually articulated early expressions of nationhood. The dissertation follows how years before the conflict the ruling autocratic regime in the country revived the provincial church and its traditional moral order as recovered vestiges of Spanish imperial sovereignty and reassembled them within a framework of postcolonial republican rule. The sort of pious submission once demanded of royal subjects increasingly defined the rights and duties of republican citizenship. Divine-right mandates and popular sovereignty merged as the ideological foundation of political authority. Moreover fulfilling the sacred obligations of the patriarchal family surged as the primary manifestation of civic virtue. The conflation of values old and new made modern ideas of the republic profoundly, and often painfully, familiar in the everyday lives of Paraguayans. This dissertation thus contends that postcolonial Paraguayans—mostly illiterate, Guaraní-speaking peasants—confronted in their lives a peculiar strain of republican nationalism steeped in religion and articulated in their own language. And, it argues, this engagement pushed them to struggle to extraordinary lengths during the war. The sources utilized range from sermons and local government correspondence, to judicial records of ecclesiastical divorce and suicide, as well as Guaraní-language propaganda produced by the state during the war.

▼ Miguel Alemán, who in 1946 became the first civilian president to represent Mexico's official revolutionary party, ushered into national office a new generation of university-educated professional politicians. Nicknamed the "cachorros (puppies) of the revolution," these leaders were dismissed as slick college boys by their opponents. Despite this objection, the rise to power of this new cadre represented a major turning point in the nation's political history. The prior ruling generation, composed of military officers who had faced calamitous violence during the Revolution, had carried out a decades-long social program that sought to address social-economic inequalities, redistribute resources, and draw previously marginalized groups into a politically, culturally, and ethnically unified nation. The members of the Alemán administration, by contrast, dedicated federal resources to promoting industrial development by implementing protectionist measures and constructing massive public works. Powerful hydroelectric dams and expansive irrigation networks supported large-scale commercial agriculture, while ambitious urban projects, including modernist housing complexes, planned suburbs, and the sprawling University City, symbolized the government's middle-class orientation. Despite these advances, their program came with high social costs: suspended redistributive policies and suppressed political liberties led many to accuse them of abandoning the legacy of social revolution they had inherited, an accusation bolstered by rampant corruption. While their policies fomented impressive economic growth over the next three decades, their focus on urban industry ultimately contributed to a debt crisis and a capital city overburdened by rapid inward migration. This controversial policy agenda and ambivalent legacy reflected their collective social formation. Their experiences as politically active students and as career politicians inculcated a sense of pragmatism that set them apart from their military predecessors. Once in office, Alemán and his colleagues exploited the geopolitical circumstances of the early Cold War period to solicit foreign loans as well as private investment, especially from the United States. These leaders fashioned a new image of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Carlos Denegri, a journalist during the Alemán years, captured the essence of this transformation best: "The Revolution," he lamented, "has gotten off its horse and into a Cadillac."

▼ The object of this study is national histories written by Mexican liberals in the second half of the nineteenth century, which are treated as a complex set of historical and narrative relations between liberalism, nationalism and the emergence of history as a rigorous discipline in Mexico. The figures treated in the study include José Fernando Ramírez (1804-1871), Guillermo Prieto (1818-1897), Manuel Payno (1820-1894), José María Vigil (1829-1909), Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (1834-1893), Alfredo Chavero (1841-1906), and Justo Sierra (1848-1912). The general thesis is that the emergence of Mexican history as an official discipline is the product of nineteenth-century political and ideological struggles among liberal intellectuals occupying disparate factions vying for state power. It argues that the disciplinization of Mexican history, as a scientific practice, is synonymous with the narrative construction of a privileged historical subject and protagonist: the Nation. Central to the argument of the thesis is that the achievement of an official state narrative of the nation constituted an act of de-politicization that effectively erased the intelligibility of the political struggles within Mexican liberalism. As a result of the success of this process of de-politicization, it has become difficult to understand the historical dynamics of nineteenth century Mexican liberalism and the nature of political struggles within and among competing liberal visions. This study argues that examining and critically engaging with a set of historical narratives and ideas about history by these prominent Mexican liberals provides a conducting thread to a reconsideration of Mexican liberalism and a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of its history, one that might contribute to a re-politicizing of the nineteenth century. This restoration of political dynamics allows us to see Mexican history as composed of a dispersal or multiplicity of various competing factions and visions that cannot be contained within a representational space defined by the binary of modernity and tradition.

▼

Demographic transition theorists posit that, beginning in the 1960s, biomedical contraceptive technologies and foreign countries, the United States in particular, have been primarily responsible for changes in medical fertility control ideas and practices in Peru. This dissertation argues that biomedical technologies and transnational political actors have played a role, but not always in the ways that demographic transition theorists indicate. The mass distribution of contraceptives such as the pill and the intra-uterine device, for example, depended on the existence of US-funded birth control organizations. However, these birth control organizations did not justify their existence in Peru only in terms of the promotion of development, but also by making appeals to the integrity of the family, values that many local physicians cherished. In addition, biomedical knowledge concerning the control of fertility began to be applied long before the 1960s, and not all of it originated in the United States nor was it all oriented towards the limitation of birth rates. Moreover, demographic transition theory's assumption that financial calculations were the primary reason for the prevention or spacing of births overlooks other factors, such as marital strife, that also affected the desire for offspring. Through archival material and oral histories in Peru and the United States, this dissertation raises questions about the ideologies and practices of medical experts, and their interactions with state agencies, foreign governments, the Catholic Church, and people who had abortions.

La théorie de la transition demographique suggere une transformation telle que, depuis les années 1960, les technologies biomédicales et les pays étrangers, espécialement les États-Unis, fut principalement responsables pour les changements des idées et pratiques en matière du contrôle medical de la fertilité au Pérou. Cette thèse argumente que les technologies biomédicales aussi que les acteurs politiques transnationaux en effet jouèrent un rôle, mais pas toujours dans la façon prévue par les théoristes de la transition demographique. La distribution massive des méthodes contraceptifs, tel que la pillule et le dispositif intra-uterin, par example, dépendit de l'existence des organismes de contrôle de la natalité financiés par les États-Unis. Cependent, cettes organismes ne justifièrent leur présence au Pérou seulement par la promotion du developement. Ils attachaient aussi de l'importance à l'integrité de la famille, un valeur que beaucoup des médecins entretinrent. D'ailleurs, des connaissances biomédicales sur le contrôle de la fertilité commencèrent à être appliquées avant les années 1960, et une partie importante d'entre elles ne provinrent pas des États-Unis. De plus, la supposition que la théorie de la transition demographique fasse sur la prevention ou l'espacement des naissances comme simples resultats des calculs economiques néglige autres facteurs, tel que les querelles des couples, lesquelles affectaient aussi le désir d'avoir des…

This dissertation examines why, how and with what impact people living in conflict areas organize collectively to assert human rights. The focus is the emergence in the 1980s of a human rights movement in the oil enclave of Barrancabermeja. The Barrancabermeja-based Regional Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CREDHOS) was created in 1987 in the context of dirty war fought on multiple fronts between state security forces and their paramilitary allies, on the one hand, and Marxist insurgent groups, on the other. In exploring the history of a human rights movement in one of Colombia's most chronically war-affected regions, this dissertation expands our understanding of how frontline activists interpret human rights principles from the bottom-up. Human rights movements cannot be viewed as axiomatic or simple humanitarian responses to political violence. The term human rights refers to contingent norms and practices that are derived from lived experiences of authoritarianism, war, poverty and social exclusion. In this dissertation I argue that social activists in the war-torn Colombian oil town of Barrancabermeja undertook human rights activism both as a strategy of self-preservation and as a transformative praxis. In Barrancabermeja, the struggle for human rights did not displace or supplant longstanding local struggles for social justice and political change. Rather, human rights was considered to be a form of social protest consistent with previously existing traditions of popular radicalism for which Barrancabermeja has become celebrated.

Cette thèse de doctorat examine l'action collective en faveur des droits humains organisée par des personnes vivant en zone de conflit, analysant les raisons qui ont motivé cette démarche, la façon par laquelle elle fut mise en uvre et ses impacts concrets. L'analyse cible particulièrement l'apparition d'un mouvement des droits humains dans l'enclave pétrolière de Barrancabermeja. Le Comité régional pour la défense des droits humains (CREDHOS) fut établi en 1987 alors que sévissait sur plusieurs fronts une guerre sale opposant l'État colombien et ses alliés paramilitaires aux insurgés marxistes. En ciblant la création d'un mouvement des droits humains dans une des régions de la Colombie les plus affligées par la guerre, cette thèse révèle comment les principes des droits humains peuvent être interprétés de façon singulière par les activistes en zone de combat. L'émergence de mouvements des droits humains ne peut être réduite à un réflexe humanitaire pour contrer la violence politique. Le concept même de droits humains fait référence à des pratiques et normes contingentes qui ont été modelées par l'expérience des régimes autoritaires, de la guerre, de la pauvreté et de l'exclusion sociale. Les gens qui militaient en faveur des droits humains dans l'enclave pétrolière de Barrancabermeja ont mis en uvre leur activisme en poursuivant deux buts : d'une part, celui-ci constituait une stratégie d'autodéfense contre la violence politique; d'autre part, il…

▼

The environmental history of silver refining in New Spain is the aggregate result of two refining processes, amalgamation and smelting, that emit two completely different sets of chemicals and impose two distinct levels of woodland depletion upon the environment. Over 60% of its silver was produced by amalgamation, a physical term that hides the complex and concatenated chemical reactions that transform silver sulphides into amalgamated silver and calomel. The chemical ratios and the historical levels of the correspondencia (mercury to silver weight ratio) are shown to mathematically restrict the possible level of physical losses of mercury during amalgamation to less than 15% on average, with mercury in calomel constituting the balance. Just under 40% of silver was refined by smelting in the presence of lead, with high emissions of lead fume and high energy requirements. Waterways would be the waste disposal channel for amalgamation, the air for lead fumes, and woodland depleted for smelting. A mass balance analysis is applied to each process to arrive at ratios of by-product emissions and energy input per kilogram of silver extracted. The raw data is derived both from historical sources and also from the nineteenth century accounts of the Hacienda de Regla, one of the major silver refining centres in nineteenth century Mexico. The choice of refining method in New Spain was determined by the chemical nature of the silver ores. The analysis of production costs at Regla and their projection back to the sixteenth century indicate that changes in the historical context could alter substantially the relative economies of both. The strategic decision by Spain to favour amalgamation over smelting was influenced by the fiscal importance of its mercury revenues. The main conclusion of this thesis is that a paradigm based on lead and calomel determined the material impact of the environmental history of silver refining in the New World.

L’histoire environnementale du raffinage de l’argent à la Nouvelle Espagne est le résultat de l’agrégat de deux procédés, l’amalgamation et par la fonte, qui dégagent deux ensembles complètement différents de produits chimiques et produisent deux niveaux de réduction des bois. Presque 60% de l’argent a été produit par l’amalgamation, un terme physique qui cache les réactions chimiques complexes qui transformaient les sulfures d’argent en argent amalgamé et calomel. Les rapports chimiques et les niveaux historiques de la correspondencia réduisent mathématiquement le niveau possible des pertes physiques du mercure à moins du 15%, et calomel compris le 85% restante. À peu près de l’autre 40% de l’argent était produit par la fonte avec du plomb, avec grands émissions de la fumée au plomb et un très grand besoin d’énergie. Les cours d’eau seraient les voies pour jeter les déchets de l’amalgamation, l’atmosphère pour les fumées au plomb, et les bois épuisés par la fonte. Une analyse du bilan de masse de chaque procédé donne les rapports des émissions et de l’énergie requis par chaque kilogramme…

▼ On the night of Sunday, May 10, 1795, hundreds of enslaved and legally free people of African and native American descent took up arms to overthrow colonial rule in Coro, Venezuela. The rebels stated that their new society would be free of Coro’s coercive political and economic systems, particularly slavery and taxes. After three days of fighting, however, Coro’s rebels were ultimately defeated, and at least 125 of them were killed in combat, or brutally executed in the days, weeks, and months that followed. Despite this defeat, the Coro rebellion has created an archive that allows historians to unearth new information on the history of capitalism, as well as the radical ideologies that circulated the Atlantic during the Age of Revolution. This dissertation bridges the fields of capitalism studies and histories of enslaved people’s resistance movements to examine the role of the Atlantic’s political economy in structuring eighteenth-century Coro, as well as rebel ideology. It argues that Coro’s rebels were inspired, not so much by abstract Enlightenment ideas of liberty and equality, but by their autochthonous political and economic customs, as they were practiced in Coro, and in the Gold and Loango Coasts of West and West Central Africa, from where most rebels descended. This dissertation also intervenes in the history of capitalism, asserting the need to define and periodize capitalism. It begins with a study of textile production in the manufacturing enclaves of Flanders, Brittany, and Devon, and investigates the three joint-stock companies that shaped eighteenth-century Coro: The Dutch West India Company, the South Sea Company, and the Real Compa��a Guipozcoana. Through a study of the political economies of the people indigenous to Coro and the Gold and Loango Coasts, it demonstrates that the precapitalist class structure of eighteenth-century Europe, based on peasant production and merchant capital, was unable to completely destroy autochthonous social systems in Africa and the Americas, as would progressively become more common under capitalism. These communalist mores informed the moral economy of the African and native American communities of Coro, and they were the ones that inspired the 1795 insurrection.

▼ This dissertation analyzes Mario Benedetti's novel Primavera con una esquina rota (A Spring with a Broken Corner) with special attention to the subject of the political prisoner and the representation of the crisis that unfolded in Uruguay after the 1973 coup d'état. Up until now, criticism on Primavera has focused, almost exclusively, on the topic of exile, limiting with this the text's multidimensional quality. This dissertation postulates that the subject of the political prisoner is as central to the novel as that of exile. As a consequence, if we try to interpret the work paying attention only to one of the two topics, leaving the other aside, the resulting interpretation will be necessarily a partial one. The analysis developed here acknowledges that the place, from which the character of Benedetti speaks in the autobiographical chapters, as well as that of most of the characters in the novelistic sections, is exile. However, the centrality of the subject of the political prisoner is justified by the fact that the protagonist's place of enunciation is his inner exile and the political prison. Exile and inner exile inside the political prison conform, then, the two symptoms and main consequences of the crisis generated by Uruguayan dictatorship. This is why both symptoms make the concept of crisis their crucial complement. It is in this sense that this dissertation incorporates three critical perspectives that allow the reader to see the internal trauma as well as the dislocation the prison experience inflicts on the political prisoner, the exiles, and the family as a synecdoche of a fragmented nation. The analysis here presented uses René Girard's theory of the plague, Michel Foucault's concept of prison discipline, and the ideas about textual fragmentation proposed by Carol Clarck D'Lugo, Mieke Bal, and Luis Díaz Márquez, as well as Mikhail Bahktin's concept of heteroglossia. The methodology developed for the present research thus combines literary, historical, theoretical, and sociological sources.

▼ Ten days before the 1968 Olympic Games, the Mexican Government violently repressed a massive Student Movement as a result of its unwillingness to negotiate with social sectors that had been adversely affected by the modernization process of the "Mexican Miracle". After the repression, the government projected an image of stability and progress under the so called "apertura democrática". Nonetheless during the decade of the seventies, Mexican citizens experienced state violence, and a counterinsurgency war known as the Dirty War, in which subversive groups who were considered dangerous for the National Security—university students and professors, campesinos, and guerilla fighters—were systematically targeted. Narrativas marginales y guerra sucia en México is framed between two grassroots social movements that represent watershed events in Mexico's political life: the Student Movement of 1968, and the Zapatista guerrilla uprising in 1994. This dissertation addresses the issues of political marginality, state violence, representation of torture and political imprisonment, construction of official history, and individual and collective memory. To shed light on the issue of political imprisonment, I analyze the novel ¿Por qué no dijiste todo?, and the prison dairy Los diques del tiempo by Salvador Castañeda, as well as the political prisoners' anthology Sobreviviremos al hielo by Manuel Anzaldo and David Zaragoza. In discussing the construction of official history, and the role of memory I analyze the novels Pretexta by Federico Campbell, and Muertes de Aurora by Gerardo de la Torre. These texts were published in the decade of the eighties as "fiction". Nonetheless, they can be consider marginal for several reasons: (1) some of these writers were guerrilla fighters and not "intellectuals", therefore they had to assault the lettered city (dominant discourses and state cultural institutions) in finding an in-between space (Silvano Santiago); (2) the novels of Campbell and de la Torre are not considered canonical, and have been ignored, even though both these writers belong to the lettered city; (3) all texts expose the mechanisms of authoritarian power, and the contradictions of representation, give voice to marginal subjectivities, and reveal alternatives to official history.

▼ This dissertation argues that most of Mexico City’s Seventeenth-century subjects believed in and practiced the Good Death. The culture of the Good Death in seventeenth-century Mexico City shows that their Mexican Catholicism represented a localized religious practice that was completely hispanicized. Death permeated Mexico City’s population base due to cyclical pandemics, seasonal natural disasters, such as inundations, agricultural crises, and the common public health issues concerning garbage in the city’s canals and streets. Most of Mexico City’s subjects often lived short and harsh lives. According to colonial citizens, the beliefs and practices of the Good Death signified the partaking of final sacraments and a courage in facing the end of life where the dying person ultimately liberated his/her soul into the purgatorial afterworld. Most urban subjects understood the basic beliefs and practices of Spanish Catholicism. I show that Mexico City’s priests were the intecessors of Spanish Catholic practices and the theology of the Good Death to lay parishioners. Mexico City’s elite subjects paid for and practiced the images of the Good Death according to the arrangements of Baroque funeral rites, especially for the death of the Spanish Monarch and high colonial elites, called exequias. Protecting both their souls and family honor, they arranged detailed will and testaments, which included confessions of faith, paid masses for their souls in Purgatory, and some pious works. For Nahua elite subjects, it meant fewer altar masses, but their preferred rites included a funeral with paid singers, and a Christian burial inside of a church. Confraternities ensured both the images and rites of the Good Death for members who paid their regular sodality fees. Confraternity death benefits included burial in a church altar, fabrics over the coffin, the attendance of confraternity brothers and sisters in the funeral, and the confraternity priest performing masses for the souls of the deceased. In conclude that due to the problems in locating a priest that was able to minister the last sacraments, Mexico City’s general population, both the popular classes and elites, inserted magical prayers at saint altars asking for good deaths in avoidance of bad ones. A bad death signified a sudden and often violent death with no pious preparations beforehand.

▼ This dissertation explores burial practices and funeral rituals in Mexico City during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. I argue that international shifts in ideas about public health, class, and nationalism were reflected in new spaces and practices for dead bodies. Furthermore, I examine how mass death challenged traditional burial practices. The daily practices involved in managing the disposal and veneration of dead bodies illuminate the social and cultural challenges in building modern cities and the ways in which these projects are adopted or rejected by the citizenry. The first three chapters focus on the modernization of burial practices in the nineteenth century. Burial reform laws in the 1850s led to the foundation of the capital's first large, modern cemetery, the Panteón de Dolores, by the Liberal government in 1879. The cemetery became a microcosm for the clean, modern city, mapping the new social class configuration through the distribution of its graves. Quickly the administrators of the Dolores Cemetery failed to meet ideal due to the realities of daily operation. The cemetery had been imagined as a space that reflected elite ideas of modernity, but it served a capital that was mostly indigent. In response to overcrowding, the technology of cremation, which targeted the poor, created a class division between those who could be buried and those who had to be cremated. Government officials successfully constructed a modern, sterile approach to death and began to wrest away control of the symbolic power of death from the Catholic Church. The last two chapters focus on the temporary breakdown of these practices and the reinterpretation of funeral rituals in the early twentieth century. Instability and high mortality rates during the Revolution of 1910-1920 led to overcrowding in cemeteries and spread the dead beyond the cemetery, including impromptu battlefield cremations. A comparison of three funerals in 1928-1929 shows new ways in which the funeral was used to perform ideas about the nation, family, and masculinity. The Revolution's unmanageable casualty levels and the advent modern, secular funerary practices in the period before the Revolution influenced how the government, military, and civilians handled and memorialized death.

This thesis undertakes a close analysis of four central documents relating to his lesser-known but important governorship of the Rio de la Plata province from 1540 to 1545, and delves into its study with a blend of philological and historiographical approaches. After an initial chapter devoted to the discussion of discursive types and genres, grouped in the broad categories of historiographical, legal and literary, a separate chapter is devoted to each of the larger narratives, namely the Relatión general or General Account of 1545, signed and attributed to Cabeza de Vaca, and the Comentarios or Commentaries of 1555, assigned to his notary, Pedro Hernandez. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the remaining two documents, namely, an unedited letter by Cabeza de Vaca to the emperor Charles V written from the Azores, and an Account by Pedro Hernandez, both written in 1545. Using this documentary evidence, this thesis proposes the study of writing at the zenith of conquest and territorial expansion as an integral part of the struggle for power and domination.

▼ This dissertation charts some of the most significant events for the development of portrait-painting in New Spain in order to shed light on a problematic genre that is often overlooked or misunderstood, even by scholars in the field. The first chapter examines the corporate portrait in early seventeenth-century Mexico City, specifically the series of canvases depicting archbishops in the cathedral chapter hall, and the role of the painter as an arbiter of taste. The second chapter investigates the persistence of this established model, which was a narrowly constructed and exclusively male tradition, which lasted a century and a half. The third chapter discusses the extraordinary innovations of the early eighteenth century. As a result of many factors, including profound economic and social changes, there began an explosion of portrait commissions after 1700, especially in the previously ignored spheres of women and family. The final chapter deals with the foundation of the Academy in Mexico and its role in the Bourbon effort to retain control over its dominion by re-imposing artistic taste in the colony. One of the strategies employed to this end was the importation of a generation of Spanish artists trained at the Academy in Madrid. Portraiture in the viceroyalties, like the court culture of its government seats in Mexico City and Lima, was inherently conservative, concerned as it was with the shaky balance of power that defined colonial politics and society. Once the formula of state portraiture was established in New Spain, it remained fairly uniform because of the inherent demands of such patrons. The first portrait commissions were for series of statesmen; later depictions needed to comply with and consolidate this corporate template. In this way, portraiture in New Spain developed differently than it had in Europe because its tradition was so firmly rooted in the series of viceroys and prelates. Instead of developing along the art-historical arc that characterizes many parts of Europe, portraiture in New Spain followed a different course.

▼ This dissertation explores the making of race and the politics of belonging in Costa Rica between 1921 and 1950, during a period of shifting racial borders and entangled terrains of power. While the idea of “racial democracy” and official discourses of mestizaje (racial mixing) predominate in Latin America, Costa Rica has been long held as a unique country in Central America with an exceptional social geography characterized by “whiteness” and homogeneity. Employed in the United Fruit Company enclave in the Atlantic region of Limón since the late nineteenth century but not formally granted citizenship until 1949, persons of British West Indian origin posed alternative claims to racial belonging, based heavily on the language and ideas of Garveyism—the Pan-African political philosophy of Marcus Garvey and his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The surge of anti-imperial protest against the United Fruit Company in the 1920s and the subsequent renegotiation of the Company's contract in 1934 transferred the centers of banana production from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, where “persons of color” were prohibited from employment. This process re-drew the borders of the nation and initiated the “Costa Ricanization” of Limón. Theorizing Limón as a borderland formed by the encounters of U.S., Central American, and Caribbean ideas of race, this dissertation maps the convergences and divergences of two distinct yet interwoven articulations of racial citizenship in Costa Rica; one West Indian, Garveyite, and black, and the other criollo-identified and white. Utilizing interdisciplinary research methods and critical theories of race and diaspora, this project employs an analytical lens that engages the national and transnational politics of race, and the relationship between space, power, discourse, and visual culture in the making and contestation of racial belonging. This dissertation draws from the fields of African Diaspora Studies, Latin American Studies, Intellectual History, Cultural Geography, Women's Studies, and Media Studies to analyze the languages, logics, signifiers, and imageries of racial belonging, reading newspapers and petitions as “counterarchives” and key sites where Costa Ricans and West Indians forged cultures of redemption and contours of citizenship, putting them on the record. Introducing the concept of “redemptive geographies,” the discursive spaces and territorial claims in which Costa Ricans and West Indians negotiated modern subjectivity and “diasporic” identity, this dissertation examines the re-mapping of the European and African diasporas alongside articulations of belonging to the Costa Rican nation. Costa Ricans re-formulated criollo whiteness and re-inscribed a mythology of homogeneity based on an identification with the Spanish settlers of the colonial past. The idea of national whiteness reinforced the outsider status of…

▼ Canada's involvement in the Americas has been for the most part neglected by scholars in Canadian and Latin American history. American scholars have also disregarded this analysis when they interpret the dynamics of modern hemispheric relations. A more comprehensive understanding of the Western Hemisphere will be achieved by looking at the ways in which Canada developed relations across the region, without interfering with the sphere of influence of imperial powers. Canada's relations with the region emerged from its colonial relationship with Britain; then Canada pursued a different path in the context of its increasing dependence on the United States. From the late nineteenth century, Canada's interest in Latin America remained dominated by agendas of trade. The case study of Canadian-Colombian relations sheds light on the ways in which Canada's private and government actors attempted to construct a clear-cut line of action constrained by limitations imposed by imperial powers. Bilateral relations would initially be established by merchant trade initiatives of the mid nineteenth century. However, its subsidiary role with British interests marked the beginning of a permanent presence of Canadians in Colombia. By the early twentieth century Canadian-owned banks and insurance corporations made their way into the Caribbean, extending their reach to the Atlantic coast of Colombia. By the 1920s, American interests would determine the arrival of Canadian subsidiaries in Colombia. Canada's increasing presence in Colombia before the mid twentieth century would evolve largely without the assistance of official governmental support. Ottawa's reengagement into a North-South approach after the Second World War, and an increasing private sector interest in capitalizing on Colombia's adherence to the international system, eventually forced the creation of an official Canadian policy toward the region. After the 1960s, Canadian development aid would become Ottawa's own clear-cut line that aimed at differentiating itself from the rest of the industrial world. By the end of the 1970s, aid was playing a crucial role in furthering Canadian-Colombian relations and bringing actors in government and the private sector closer together. The study of Canada's involvement in the region enriches the history of Colombia's adhesion into the international system, and it contributes to the broader understanding of Canadian foreign policy and hemispheric history. The analysis of this bilateral relationship also contributes to an understanding of Canadian-American relations and the dynamics of the expansion of capitalist economic development across the region during the twentieth century. The history of Canadian-Colombian engagement from 1892 to 1979 illustrates the crucial role played by Canada's private interests in the definition and maturation of Canada's foreign policy agendas.

▼ This dissertation presents an alternative model for interpreting the work of Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923-2005) and Julio Le Parc (Argentine, b. 1928), the two foremost Latin American proponents of Kinetic art. While Soto and Le Parc are traditionally studied together within the context of their European counterparts, this investigation argues for a new way of evaluating the artists in terms of the "fragmented" aesthetic experience they provided through works produced in 1950-1970, the period during which both artists moved to Paris. This paper demonstrates that their artistic innovations were – like their radical social agendas and ideals – critical responses to Latin America's modernity. Characterized by continuous political and social upheaval, a break with traditional values, and an uncertain future, the disruptive environment they experienced in Latin America compelled the artists to pursue in Paris the primary aesthetic strategies of their work: displacement, mutability, and instability. Though they differed in approaches, Soto and Le Parc shared a utopian ideal: that art, distilled to its experiential fundamentals, could communicate directly to the viewer, without the mediation of politics or institutions. Through analyses of specific works, archival documentation, contemporary criticism, and interviews with Soto, Le Parc, and others from their circles, this study explores the lives and work of these two artists, revealing that their summary relegation to specific movements and nationalities discounts the complex reality of their transnational experiences. The model of investigation proposed here reveals the distinct two-way reciprocity of cultural influence between Latin America and Europe, and raises questions about geographical cultural specificity. Also discussed is how the artists' identification with Paris made them suspect in the eyes of some Latin American critics. Soto and Le Parc's formative dialogues with individuals and collectives, in particular Victor Vasarely, Yves Klein, Marcel Duchamp, Los Disidentes, the Madí, Nouveaux Réalistes, group Zero, artists of Situationist International and Tucumán arde are closely examined. Ultimately, this study exposes the challenges faced by Soto and Le Parc as principal pioneers of a generation of Latin American artists who achieved success in international movements, while remaining engaged in forming a new Latin American cultural model.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the intellectual issues that surround the most dramatic form of human encounter: that of imperial conquest. By examining the modes of thought available to conquering societies I examine the way in which specific narrative traditions influence the process of justification and legitimization of expansion. Based on my analysis of a specific set of narratives created by Spanish in the Americas, a wide variety of published primary resources, and research in Spanish archives, I look into the narrative traditions of a number of societies in history, assess the construction of the reconquista narrative in Spain, and then cross the Atlantic to examine variety of interest groups that emerged across Spain's American empire and the narratives that were produced to justify those interests. In successful cases the drama of conquest is normalized through the adoption or construction of legitimizing narratives that tap into prevailing societal self-conceptions or historical relationships. As examples of this I examine a diverse set of societies including China during the Han Dynasty, Sassanid Persia, Turkic states of central and western Asia, and the Ottoman Empire. I then introduce the case of the Spanish, first in the Iberian Peninsula where their narrative traditions successfully justified and normalized the act of conquest, and then in the Americas. Spain's American empire, I argue, constituted a situation so novel as to resist any attempt to make sense of it within the prevailing narrative tradition. Spain's central narratives fell apart in the face of such novelty, leaving narrative chaos and an imperial state unable to control the process of narrative construction. The result was a proliferation of narratives and a heated debate over the Spanish right to rule in their American possessions. This debate only diminished with the repudiation of the notion of conquest in the second half of the sixteenth century. Through this effort, this dissertation contributes to the general understanding of the role of ideas in empire while presenting the argument that Spain's American empire represented a novel case in world history and it was this unprecedented novelty that was responsible for many of the intellectual challenges that the empire faced. Additionally, I contend that the narrative challenges faced by Spain in the sixteenth century left important intellectual legacies for future empires.

▼ This thesis examines the historiography of the Codex Mendoza, one of the earliest surviving and most important manuscripts produced in Mexico after the conquest. In particular, I examine its provenance and evaluate its known documented history. How did this manuscript, produced in 1540 in Mexico by native artists and scribes, reach Europe and when? This reexamination highlights the absence of documentation supporting the widely-held belief that the Codex Mendoza reached France and not Spain, its intended destination, after the ship carrying it to Europe was plundered by pirates.ï¿½After closely examining what is known of the manuscript's provenance and suggesting a complete rethinking of what we know about the Codex Mendoza, this thesis demonstrates the interpretive side-effects of current assumptions about the manuscript's provenance and dependance on out of date historiography. The Codex Mendoza's assumed patronage and believed-intended audience has conditioned art historians to interpret the artistic style of the manuscript as containing European influence. However, a close re-examination of the codex in relation to other manuscripts produced in New Spain at the same time demonstrates that the Codex Mendoza's content and visual style is effectively all from the pre-conquest period and therefore radically different from most manuscripts produced at the time. Significantly, almost no comparisons exist in the literature on the topic making this comparison one of the first such contextual stylistic analyses of the Codex Mendoza. In addition, the methodologies employed by art historians in their study of the style of sixteenth-century manuscripts from New Spain have proved problematic, and in the case of the Codex Mendoza specifically, its believed European patronage has preconditionedï¿½interpretationsï¿½of its artistic style. To address this problem I compare the Codex Mendoza with a contemporaneous manuscript of similar provenance. The comparison reveals that the existence and circulation of multiple visual styles and narrative strategies in manuscripts during the 1540s in New Spain was directly related to the intended purpose of the manuscript itself. This comparison also allows for theï¿½Codex Mendoza'sï¿½proper placement within its art historical context and the broader context of manuscript production in New Spain.

▼ The principle objective of this paper is to compare how modernization theory was implemented during the Alliance for Progress and the War on Poverty and to explore how this impacted power structures at the national level in the Alliance and the local level in the War on Poverty There have been some earlier works which have addressed modernization theory during the Alliance for Progress, including Michael Latham's, Modernization as Ideology, however most information about modernization theory itself comes from W.W. Rostow's work, The Stages of Economic Growth, and Rostow and Millikan's, A Proposal. During the War on Poverty, President Johnson also utilized modernization theory; though current scholarship focuses primarily on specific War on Poverty programs, such as Frank Stricker's, Why America Lost the War on Poverty – And How to Win It, or on the War on Poverty in specific areas of the country, such as David Whisnant's, Modernizing the Mountaineer .;While much work has been done about why the Alliance and the War on Poverty failed, there has been little looking at the connection between the two or how modernization theory impacted the making of policy. I seek to explore the relationship between these two programs and how modernization theory was put into practice in each. In this paper, I argue that due to the way in which modernization theory was used to enact both the Alliance for Progress and the War on Poverty, traditional power structures were strengthened ensuring that, in the Alliance, the goal of creating democratic governments was never reached and in the War on Poverty, the attempt to include the poor more fully in the decision making process was never attained. Additionally, I argue that the very policies which were intended to bolster the democratic process instead led to a resurfacing of dictatorships throughout Latin America and a doubling down by political machines within the local governments affected by the War on Poverty, in order to more firmly hold onto power.
