Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Art sits at the heart of social work and is central to social change. This thesis provides a beginning evidence base for this long held disciplinary view by examining the role of art in social change within communities. A shared history and common ground between art and social work was established using mixed methods within a creative heuristic methodology to define art and its relationship to social work. Inspired by the need identified by Hugh England for a theory of social work which incorporated a theory of art, this thesis redefines art in social work, from a bio-ethological perspective against a list of criteria for art, to suggest social work is art. It distinguishes this from the art of social work, which it locates in practice. Situated within the context of community practice, that is, art in community and arts-based community development, this thesis proposes a model of creative community practice able to accommodate both disciplines. Extensive literature findings were examined empirically to ascertain the effectiveness of art as an intervention through the ‘Safe at Home’ project. This nested study tested the effectiveness of arts-based community development in raising community awareness of and changing attitudes to domestic and family violence within a real-world context, and the implications for practice. This is a unique study in that no empirical research could be found which had been designed to determine if art raises awareness of or changes attitudes to domestic and family violence. Blending art with science, a social intervention research model was used to gather baseline data via a community-wide survey, implement eight art-based interventions using an embedded art practice as research method to collect data, and gather post-intervention data via a neighbourhood survey. Limited to the early phases of the social intervention research process, findings suggest art is not effective in achieving short-term attitudinal change, but establishes a climate conducive to change. The difference between disciplines in community practice centre on ethics and findings support the inclusion of ethics in art education. Findings indicate art is a form of unconscious knowledge which opens the potential for greater understanding of the tacit workings of social work practice.

▼ Consumers often must choose between mutually exclusive products or beliefs related to products, such as to believe or ignore social and environmental causes. Cognitive dissonance (CD) (Festinger, 1957) is a common psychological discomfort that must be resolved, when experienced between inconsistent beliefs, attitudes, or choices. Advertising and marketing promotion to influence consumer decision making often uses celebrity / expert endorsers (Hollensen & Schimmelpfennig, 2013) to improve brand effectiveness and increase sales, yet how endorsements affect consumer attitudes and CD has not been explored. During an attempt to revise models of predicting consumer behavior to include CD measurement (e.g., theory of reasoned action in Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; theory of planned behavior in Ajzen, 1991) it was noted that attempts to add scales to measure social norms improved model effectiveness. Moreover, attempts to measure CD (e.g., Cassel & Chow, 2002; Elliot & Devine, 1994; Hausknecht, Sweeney, Soutar, & Johnson, 1998; Sakai, 1999; Shultz & Lepper, 1996; and Sweeney, Hausknecht, & Soutar, 2000) did not measure the social context of CD as originally conceived by Festinger to explain illogical behaviors given observable facts such as cigarette smoking and cult activities, etc. After review of the CD phenomenon and its common origins in Lewin (1936, 1951), Osgood and Tannenbaum (1955), Heider (1946, 1958), and Festinger (1954, 1957), it was discovered that CD is a multivariate phenomenon and more complex than existing models of decision making or measurement instruments could accommodate. This dissertation derived a CD instrument with semantic differential scales from congruity theory (Osgood & Tannenbaum, 1955) and balance theory (Heider, 1946, 1958) to measure multivariate CD during attitude change using endorsement by former U.S. Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. of an important social cause: global warming. With a repeated measures procedure, CD was induced using a social comparison referent (SCR) of Mr. Gore for a snowball sample of 567 respondents recruited from online political groups and social media websites. Information about global warming was presented within simulated news headlines to 16 randomly assigned groups of 567 respondents with alternating combinations of positively / negatively toned messages, high credibility / low credibility publications, and domestic-attributed research / foreign-attributed research. The instrument was tested for sensitivity, validity, and reliability. The results indicated that when presented with information in opposition to their original opinion, regardless of their view of the endorser SCR’s opinion, respondents, in this order: 1. Changed their perception of the endorser’s attitude toward global warming (termed social meaning in this dissertation); 2. Changed their view of the value of the endorser’s opinion (i.e., referent meaning); and, lastly, 3. Changed their own opinion on global warming…

▼ This report is based on an evaluation of the impact of Radio Listening Clubs (RLCs), an initiative of Panos Institute Southern Africa (PSAf), on communities to foster social change. Since dealing with people’s mind set is a complex issue requiring time and organised effort, PSAf’s RLCs initiative has proved to be ideal in propelling target citizens’ benefit from local radio stations and bringing about social change. The report was fed by a study that was undertaken in Mazabuka and Monze districts of Southern Zambia. The study employed questionnaires, interview and focus group discussions, (FGDs) for data collection. It was undertaken with the background of people’s failure to appreciate the link between communication and development. RLCs have worked to turn non-participating communities into active participants. They have mobilised communities, encouraged social networking and have given people a new sense of dignity and value to life. People in rural communities where clubs have been established are now informed on issues taking place in other communities around and are involved in determining their own destinies.Their knowledge levels on a wide range of issues have increased, their attitudes have changed for the better, their practices (i.e. the way they do things) have improved, and as communities beginning at individual level, have acquired new skills. A totality of all these amount to social change as people have moved from a ‘traditional’ society to a more modern one poised for take off, (Rostow, 1960; Learner, 1958).The study is significant in that it has outlined the successes and failures of PSAf’s RLC initiative. It has also brought out issues and challenges associated with rolling out new innovations in rural communities.The study was undertaken as a requirement to the partial fulfilment of the degree of Master of Communication for Development, (MCD) of the Department of Mass Communication of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Zambia.

▼ The mukanda institution in the Western and North-Western Province of Zambia, is one of the popular cultural heritages in the country. Over time it has created an inter-ethnic cohesion which in turn has integrated more than ten previously heterogeneous ethnic groups into a single entity. This institution is an age long cultural heritage whose genesis is inextricably linked to the various vakamulauko (the people of this study) royal houses in the western and North-Western Provinces of Zambia and beyond (i.e. Angola and Zaire). From the late nineteenth century when colonial rule was imposed on Zambia, to about 1963 when the colonial epoch was coming to a close, the mukanda institution was subjected to various forms of social change. Through adaptation to the colonial environment, the mukanda institution both managed to change its role and to sustain its own continuity.This dissertation is basically an attempt to reconstruct a history of the mukanda institution during the colonial epoch. In order to portray a fair picture of the institution, a comparative approach was preferred, to cover both the Western and North-western Provinces. In Chapter one, we have attempted to review the existing literature on the topic, with a view of delineating its weaknesses and Strengths.We have argued that much of this literature contains limitations, one of which was the static portrayal of the mukanda. Chapter Two is an attempt to reconstruct a precolonial history of the institution in both the Western and North-Western Provinces. This entailed: tracing the genesis of the mukanda institution among the vakamulauko generally; assessing the historical development of the institution in the two provinces; and examining how mukanda rites were practised in the two areas during that period. In Chapter Three, we heve attempted to analyse the impact of the colonial social change (i.e. colonial economic and political policies), Christian evangelization, Western medicine and modern education on the mukanda institution. To this end, we assessed the impact of hut tax, migrant labour, and other colonial policies, on the mukanda practitioners in both provinces. It has been argued that these policies had a far-reaching effect on the structure and practice of the mukanda rites. As a result, the mukanda institution of the colonial society reflected the influence of these forces; hence the chapter emphasizes change in the institution and not a static state of affairs. In conclusion, we have contended that during the colonial epoch, the mukanda institution adapted itself to the prevailing socio-economic and political environment, and in the process sustained its continuity such that by 1963, the institution had become a vehicle for integration and cohesion amoung vakamulauko, not only in the Western and North-western Provinces of Zambia but also beyond the territorial boundaries of these provinces.

▼ This study is directed toward learning more about intervening variables, or social mechanisms of change, within the process of socialization. It focused upon one social mechanism: "degree of commitment". The contention of the thesis is that "degree of commitment", within the socialization process, is directly connected with (a) the experiences of learning during the process of becoming a member of a social system; and (b) the "socialized" resultant when the learning process is complete. The concept of "degree of commitment" is to be understood in its relation to three other sociological concepts: decision-making, socialization, and social-change. Each of these bears directly upon the concept of "degree of commitment". The factors which work together to result in a decision at the same time result in “degree of commitment". Once a "degree of commitment" is established, it can not only be estimated at a point in time, but it can be examined as a social mechanism -effecting change. Of course, both decision-making and socialization involve "change" and, this concept as a disequilibrating force, similar to the familiar physics concept, is of paramount importance. Five different stated "degree of commitment" groups were analyzed, first, whether or not their stated commitment changed over a period of time; and second, according to different responses to factual and attitudinal questions by commitment group. Data was gathered and examined, according to commitment group, in areas such as: performance, age, socio-economic class, students' self-image and career choice, conceptions of medicine as a career, attitudes toward faculty, peers and toward competition. The constellation of groups and the patterns of change vary by commitment group. As a social mechanism, degree of commitment restricts and governs action. From this study, it is submitted that degree of commitment is an integral part of the socialization process and, therefore, it is one of the social mechanisms that must be studied in any analysis of socialization as a sociological concept. The first year medical students at the University of British Columbia, in the university year 1959-60, comprised the sample. A questionnaire was the main source of data.

▼ This thesis is a qualitative ethnographic study of innovations implemented by Mr Zephaniah Phiri Maseko, a smallholder farmer from Zvishavane, rural Zimbabwe. Ethnographic data provides insight and lessons of his practices for rethinking existing strategies for adaptation to climate change. The concept of adaptation is probed i n relationship to the closely related concepts of vulnerability, resilience and innovation. This study also explores the concept of conviviality and argues that Mr Phiri Maseko's adaptation to climate hinges on mediating barriers between local and exogenous knowledge systems. Ethnographic fieldwork aided by an analytical framework of resilience makes clear that his farming practices are informed by a realisation that dualisms are problematic. His innovations are a way of building resilience to climate change and his practices demonstrate the interdependencies in a socio - ecological system. This study argues that innovations by smallholders play a complementary role to interventions by outsiders in the discourse of adaptation to climate in the drylands of southern Zimbabwe. Mr Phiri Maseko harvested water as a way of adapting to climate variability. I argue that he offered tangible adaptive climate strategies through his innovations that "marry water and soil so that it won't elope and run - off but raise a family" on his plot. His agricultural practices are anchored on the Shona concept of hurudza (an exceptionally productive farmer). This thesis explores the concept and practices of uhurudza , to suggest that the latter - day hurudza (commercial farmer) as embodied by Mr Phiri Maseko offered an important set of resources for the development of climate adaptation strategies in the region. Therefore, his activities call for a revisit of the notion of hurudza based on grain harvested, one that includes consistent income generated from selling farm produce. His innovations demonstrate elements of conviviality, resilience, accommodating local knowledge as well as ideas he learnt from various educational institutions in order to adapt to climate variability. This thesis explores the usefulness of Mr Phiri Maseko's innovations for other smallholder farmers in the Zvishavane area who have replicated it. I demonstrate that due to the success of his innovations, uptake has been high underpinning the fact that these smallholders appear to be managing to adapt to climate variability. This ethnographic study of smallholder farmers' adoption of innovations to climate highlights the "complex interplay" of multiple factors that act as barriers to uptake. Such interplay of multiple stressors increases the vulnerability of smallholders. I conclude by arguing that in as much as the skewed colonial land policy impoverished the smallholder farmers, Mr Phiri Maseko nonetheless redefined himself as a latter - day hurudza and thus breaks free from the poverty cycle by 'conjuring ingenious' ways of reducing vulnerability to climate. I do not suggest that his innovations offer a 'silver bullet'… Advisors/Committee Members: Green, Lesley (advisor), Ziervogel, Gina (advisor), Chirikure, Shadreck (advisor).

▼ Behaviour changes including apathy, disinhibition, irritability or social skills difficulties are commonly reported in individuals following an acquired brain injury (ABI) or presence of a neurodegenerative condition. In addition, there is evidence that these behaviour changes are related to increased caregiver burden and early nursing home and hospital admissions. Yet, very little is known about possible factors relating to behaviour change in ABI or neurodegeneration. Social cognition difficulties have been proposed as possible predictors of behaviour change in ABI or neurodegeneration. However, the evidence for the existence of a link between behaviour and social cognition remains weak. The aims of the current thesis were twofold; firstly, it aimed to systematically examine the current evidence on the link between social cognition and behaviour change in ABI or neurodegeneration. Secondly, the thesis aimed to assess the relationship between social cognition and behaviour change in the context of relationship quality in a sample of 27 individuals with a diagnosis of Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (DAT) or mixed DAT and vascular dementia and their co-residing partners. A review of the current literature showed a discrepancy in the evidence for an association between behaviour change and social cognition between ABI and neurodegenerative participant samples. The link between social cognition and behaviour changes in ABI, although suggested, was not found in the three included studies. However, this was not the case for neurogenerative samples. Although most of the included studies focused on a particular condition, frontotemporal dementia (FTD), evidence for this link was also present in one study focusing on DAT. Following from this review, the present thesis examined the existence of this association further in individuals with DAT/ mixed dementia. The study used partners’ reports on behaviour and relationship quality and examined their associations with individuals with DAT/mixed dementia’s performance on a social cognition task. Although the DAT/mixed dementia group showed an impaired performance on a social cognition task compared to their partners, there were no significant relationships between reported behaviour changes, relationship quality and social cognition performance in individuals with DAT/mixed dementia. These findings suggest that despite previous literature indicating a link between behaviour change and social cognition in DAT or mixed dementia, this relationship is yet to be fully established in this population and further research is needed to inform current practice and models of behaviour change in neurodegeneration. The present findings are also discussed with regards to implications for clinical practice and adaptations in psychotherapy for people with DAT or mixed dementia and their partners.

▼ Accomplishing desired benefits from investments in planned change is problematical for organizations, their leaders and the change agents charged with delivery. This is despite a well-developed literature, replete with advice on how change should be achieved. Examination of this literature shows the primary focus on change agents and their practices. This research widens the focus by observing the influence of change agents, change recipients and line managers on organizational routines undergoing planned change. It examines the interplay between stability and change in organizational routines, adopting a social practice perspective, and the routine intended to change as the unit of analysis (Feldman and Pentland, 2003, 2005). The research builds on claims that to understand the patterns of action within routines requires the internal dynamics – the claimed duality between ostensive (in principle) and performative (in practice) aspects - to be examined. A research method to operationalize the study of this claimed duality was devised following the principles of Strong Structuration (Stones, 2005). This method enabled a unique conceptualization of the study of routine dynamics, focused on planned change from the perspective of multiple, interdependent actors. Two cases of change agents following the advice in the planned change literature were explored. In one case, stability of the routine persisted when change was intended. In the other, change was relatively easy to achieve irrespective of change agent actions. The primary contribution is the demonstration of how the attitudes to change of change recipients, line managers and change agents influence the internal dynamics of routines undergoing planned change. Other contributions pertain to the method of ‘unpacking’ organizational routines and its potential for shaping future practice. This research does not offer new ‘normative’ advice but instead sensitizes planned change practitioners to the level of analysis they need to carry out to ensure that their interventions are suitably designed.

Professional Doctorate - Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA)

Organisations constantly evolve to improve their internal strengths and in anticipation or reaction to the state of the environment in which they exist. This research focussed its investigation on the effect of organisational change communication on employee attitude and employee engagement. The primary aim of this research was to offer an investigative discussion, based on literature and research evidence, around the benefit of communicating organisational change through multiple narrative perspectives. A secondary aim of the study was to determine if there is a link between organisational change communication and the achievement of organisational change business objectives. The final aim of this research was to provide inductive theories of sensemaking, role influence, and the process of narrative, within the context of Social Construction Theory (Weick, Sutcliffe & Obstfeld, 2005; Sonenshein, 2010; Cuncliffe & Coupland, 2012). This case study of natural and experimental design provided an opportunity to compare the effect of multi-level storytelling as change communication, between two groups of frontline employees, in a medium-sized Australian financial institution at a time when the employees were experiencing the trial of a new change process. This study was designed to answer the following questions: 1. How, if at all, does storytelling impact employee attitude to organisational change? ; 1.1 What affect does communication between and across roles have on employee attitude to change? ; 1.2 What role does time play in employee attitude to change? ; 1.3 Does the formal or informal nature of communication affect employee attitude to change? ; 1.4 To what extent does attitude affect formal change management outcomes? The attitudes and business performance of both groups were collected and analysed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Evidence from the study suggests that multi-level storytelling as a form of organisational change communication has a positive effect on change recipient attitude. It is proposed that this effect contributes to active employee engagement with organisational change, resulting in improved business performance. Findings from this study also recommend change practitioners enlist the support of the customer to tell their story during change, and to appoint employees who demonstrate the ability to understand multiple perspectives of change as change agents.

▼ In this project I aim to challenge the conception of neo-liberalism as a monolithic ideology and theory of state practice. To achieve this, I use Norman Fairclough’s ‘order of discourse’ model of critical discourse analysis to examine seven speeches delivered by New Zealand Prime Ministers of 1987 to 2011. Using these speeches I chart a number of breaks, shifts, contradictions, and instabilities between both Prime Ministers and Governments, which are often specific to New Zealand. The analyses of the seven speeches highlight the contradictions and tensions inherent in on-going processes of neo-liberalisation in New Zealand. Among other instabilities and contradictions, I examine David Lange’s conflicting articulations of economic management in market-led governing. I note the role of technocracy under Geoffrey Palmer, and the inconsistencies in his push to institutionalise the Treaty of Waitangi while decentralising the role of the state in governing. I outline the specificities of New Zealand as a colonial settler society through the signifier “battler” deployed by Mike Moore. I also sketch the functions of Jim Bolger’s communitarianism, and the way it flanks the market logics deployed by Minister of Finance Ruth Richardson, between 1990 and 1993. The effect and significance of Jenny Shipley’s ‘Code of Social and Family Responsibility’ is examined, noting the way it crystallises the role of social capital in practices of governing. The impact of Helen Clark’s Third Way and ‘inclusive’ neo-liberalism are then charted. Clark’s use of diverse ideological forms suggests a mobile and mediating moment in neo-liberalism, which attempts to overcome some of the problems generated by earlier speakers. I finally cover the way that John Key’s anti-ideological position results in what is labelled the ‘market ideology’, crystallising market logic as a rubric for governing through terms like the “mum and dad investor”, and the “kiwi”. I then offer some concluding comments and note the project’s limitations, before offering some tentative prospects of neo-liberalism’s fortune in a post-2008 crisis world.

▼ This study focuses on the lives of people living in a social housing estate which was a joint venture between the Housing Association of South Africa (HASA), a Netherlands based foundation and the Buffalo City Municipality. This type of social housing estate is a relatively new concept in post-apartheid South Africa and a first for the City of East London. Apartheid spawned the separation of different groups of people into racial enclaves. It also created barriers between races, advantaged certain races over others and created fear, hatred and general distrust among different racial groups in South Africa. The dislocation of apartheid was accompanied by rapid urbanization and ‘reconstruction’ of infrastructure and inter-racial relationships. The opening up of the country’s borders in compliance with Globalisation made South Africa a melting pot to people of different cultures. South African cities became fragmented and fear and strangeness was everywhere. Housing or the lack of it has been a constant problem that the new post apartheid government has grappled with. The solution of building RDP housing estates has not solved this burgeoning problem. But even more importantly it has failed to reorganize urban life in South Africa. In approaching this study I look at how these new social housing estates have reorganized urban life. I explore the concepts of community, home, generation, gender, material culture and ‘new’ urbanization to provide a framework for my study. This study is a qualitative study based in the city of East London in the Eastern Cape. It is a community study which attempts to go inside the home to unlock some of the intricacies of urban life. Ethnography is the research key used to unlock these intricacies.In conclusion, this study attempts to examine a non-western narrative of community life. Are these housing estates a solution to South Africa’s housing problem? Do they conform only to western narratives of urban life? What kind of citizens do these housing estates produce? These are some of the questions that this study hopes to answer. Advisors/Committee Members: Dr. L. Bank.

▼ The purpose of this qualitative case study was to demonstrate how adult education enabled the process of economic and social change, and national development in Jamaica through a critical review of two cases of adult education provisions in Jamaica since the country gained independence in 1962. Content analysis of various documents from primary and secondary sources as well as interviews with key informants related to the institutional sites provided the data that was used to answer the following research questions. 1) How has adult education enabled the Jamaican society to adapt to social changes and development of the country since it gained independence in 1962? 2) How have societal changes informed the adult education programs and practice in Jamaica since independence? 3) What development themes have created the animating vision that has guided adult education theory and practice in Jamaica since it gained independence? and 4) What adult education programs have emerged based on the perceived purpose of adult education within the Jamaican society at various points in the period under review? Both within case and cross-case analyses were conducted to identify various categories and themes from which a number of assertions related to the relationship between adult education, social change and development were made. The key findings showed six main ways in which adult education enabled the Jamaican society to adapt to social changes and development. Adult education: served to build the human capital needed to drive Jamaica's economic development; fostered upward social mobility of thousands of Jamaicans; was critical in moving hundreds of thousands of Jamaicans from illiteracy to literacy; enabled the personal development of disadvantaged Jamaicans and empowered them to contribute to their society in meaningful ways; increased the capability of thousands of individuals to access education resources for their continuing education; changed the education system in Jamaica and in so doing fostered a more educated society. As it relates to social changes that informed adult education, the study found that: as Jamaica moved from an agrarian society to an industrial society the nature and type of adult education provision changed; as the country became more technologically advanced the provision of computer and technology related programs became more evident; changes in Government commitment and support as demonstrated in policy and funding emerged as a critical factor impacting the provision of adult education. In term of the dominant development themes, the study revealed that: industrialization was a dominant development theme impacting adult education in Jamaica, democratic Socialism influenced both the content and practice of adult education at one point in time, and liberalization foregrounded the kind of skills and knowledge that adult education engendered in Jamaica. Finally as it relates to the types of adult education programs the study found that education for work was the dominant type of adult education…

Professional Doctorate - Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

The dynamic capabilities view has implications for organisations wanting to improve their financial performance through aligning operational capabilities with environmental conditions. This study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) what is the relationship between stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities (stakeholder knowledge building, strategic communication and conversations and stakeholder management) and organisational performance?; (2) how do dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing and reconfiguring) impact the adaptation and modification of stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities?; and (3) how does servant leadership, visionary leadership and transactional leadership affect the processes underlying dynamic capabilities altering stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities? We develop a model outlining the relationships between dynamic capabilities and stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities, and further investigate the role that various leadership styles play in this context. We empirically test our model by collecting data about 143 hotels in Kenya, and analyse it using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Our findings contribute to existing dynamic capabilities research by confirming that (1) stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities have a significantly positive impact on firm performance; (2) dynamic capabilities positively influence stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities; and (3) servant leadership has a positive effect on stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities–dynamic capabilities relationship, whereas visionary leadership has a negative effect on this relationship and transactional leadership does not affect it. Our findings have implications for managers wanting to improve their CSR performance. They suggest that (1) managers should develop their stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities if they are seeking to improve their financial performance; (2) managers should modify these capabilities using dynamic capabilities in order for them to remain relevant in response to changing stakeholder and industry demands; and (3) organisations should seek to encourage servant leadership style in their management teams to foster successful adaptation of these stakeholder engagement related CSR operational capabilities through leveraging dynamic capabilities.

▼ The objective in this research is to examine the production and performance of theatrical activities aiming at bringing about social change in both development and political intervention. My investigation began with Aarohan Theatre Group, a Kathmandu-based professional company and subsequently extended to Maoist cultural troupes. I have taken a critical perspective considering theatre as a mode of socio-cultural practice embedded in the wider socio-political reality. Thus, I present an account of what it means to do theatre and live by theatre in contemporary Nepal, from 2005 to 2006, through the artists' perspective. Co-performance, that is participation in some performances, complemented participant observation as a methodology. Theatre provides an outstanding context for both social reflection and symbolic action. In a manner similar to ritual, theatrical performances can become deliberate means for both constructing and de-constructing power and symbolically legitimizing or de-legitimizing authority. In Nepal, modern artistic and political theatre developed side by side. First, an historical overview of its development will set the scene for understanding the role played by theatrical performances in the years 2005-2006. In fact, during my fieldwork, history repeated itself. The restrictions on civil rights imposed by the king through the 2005 Emergency affected both street and proscenium theatre activities. Subsequently, ethnographic descriptions will illustrate the theatrical apparatus that the king employed to legitimize his power and how autocracy was similarly resisted and fought against in the streets through theatrical forms of protest and street theatre, loktantrik natak. I will then narrow my focus to a specific form of participatory street performance, kachahari natak, to describe how it was adopted and adapted in Nepal and how the theatre group developed as an organization. In conclusion, 1 will draw comparisons between different forms of 'theatre for social change', kachahari natak, loktantrik natak and Maoist cultural programmes.

▼ GILLESPIE, JESSICA L. â€œLoved to Stayed On Like It Once Wasâ€ : Southern Appalachian Peopleâ€™s Responses to Socio-Economic Changeâ€”The New Deal, the War on Poverty, and the Rise of Tourism. (Under the direction of Dr. Craig Thompson Friend.) Â Over the course of the twentieth century, southern Appalachian residents have been defined and described primarily by outside observers: travel writers, benevolent workers, politicians, government bureaucrats, and historians. While these onlookers have filled volumes with accounts of mountain residents, their accounts are often stereotypical: the mountaineer as backward, isolated, fatalistic, acquiescent, atomistic, or poverty-stricken. In all of these portrayals, outsiders defined Appalachia as a region needing to change and fall into line with mainstream America. In order to achieve such change, major efforts to develop Appalachia began in the earliest decades of the twentieth century, comprised of both governmental programs and partnerships between government and private interests. Â Government and private developers seldom considered residentsâ€™ thoughts or opinions and adopted the pervasive cultural stereotypes as fact, designing projects with such ideas of locals in mind. Historians, too, have often repeated these time-worn stereotypes or overlooked local sentiment on such widespread development efforts. Local residents have often been portrayed as passively adapting to events that affected their lives and as reticent to create or shape their own futures. Southern Appalachian residents, however, did in fact possess and voice strong feelings on social and economic development programs. This thesis concentrates on the rich variety of local residentsâ€™ responses to two New Deal programsâ€”the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennessee Valley Authorityâ€”as well as President Lyndon Johnsonâ€™s War on Poverty, and the tourism industry that developed over the past two centuries and continues to play a major role in southern Appalachian economics. Such development efforts reshaped the region, affecting individual lives, communities, and the mountain landscape itself. Â Locals responded differently to each development effort, based on such variables as individual economic circumstances, social class, location, and occupation. They also voiced their reactions in a myriad of ways. In all instances, locals retained and defined their own identities and ideals through their reactions, openly declaring what was important to them: land and community. In their responses to the New Deal, War on Poverty, and the mountain tourism industry, southern Appalachian residents refuted pervasive stereotypes of the mountaineer while defending their own cultural values. Such engagement demonstrates how mountain residents actively preserved their traditions while shaping their own futures.
