▼ Canadians continue to struggle with their western identity. For one reason or another, they have separated themselves from an Americanized “blood and thunder” history. But making this separation was not always as easy as it might seem today. This thesis contributes to the growing body of scholarship that is problematizing the western borderlands. It does this primarily by looking at historical representations of the West in late nineteenth and early twentieth century movies, plays, books, and especially by examining the wildly popular traveling show Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. It was largely Buffalo Bill’s show that popularized the Western as a genre of spectacle, and to a degree that earlier historians have overlooked, it did this on both sides of the border. Indeed, the show highlighted “Western” heroic qualities and placed them in a space called “the West” that refused to be divided by the 49th parallel. Buffalo Bill’s show expressed and promoted western sensibilities that were inclusive of Canada, and that many Canadians embraced. In the show Canadians were neither exotic others nor were they European-style eastern dandies. Rather they were participants in a westering narrative that cared little for what the eastern elite or academics might have thought of as distinguishing national characteristics. In this thesis I primarily examine Buffalo Bill’s personal history and the cultural messaging associated with his Wild West Show to illustrate previously overlooked aspects of the history of the way Canadians and Americans have, since the inception of the two countries, and for many years previously, impacted each other from across the border. We already know, for instance, that criminals and political enemies have sought asylum across the world’s longest unprotected border; that fortune hunters have crossed and re-crossed the border looking for one big strike; and that simple farmers, traders, hunters, and business people crossed in the hopes for greater returns and a settled life for themselves and their families. But whereas these kinds of crossings happened in the East as well, they had greater significance along the vast western borderlands, where a man or woman could cross the border without being aware of it. In this thesis, I argue that ideas, evidenced though newspapers, also crossed this western border – often without eastern people being fully conscious of it. But of course, if some people and ideas crossed the border unaware, others invested the boundary with great significance. Such crossing sometimes had more profound impacts on Canadian and American understandings of what was meant by “the west” than we’ve fully appreciated in the past. By examining the previously overlooked history of Buffalo Bill’s personal connection to Canada and the messaging about the Canadian Wild West depicted through his Wild West Shows this thesis seeks to contribute a history that was much more complicated and mixed on both sides of the Canada / US border than previously appreciated.

▼ From 1883 until 1913, Buffalo Bill's Wild West attracted fifty million people in more than one thousand cities in ten countries. William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody's globe-galloping extravaganza would not have attained its status as one of the most widely attended and wildly popular turn-of-the-century spectacles without an extensive and effective promotional system to perpetuate its fame. Using the exhibition's posters as primary objects of inquiry, this dissertation examines the Wild West's most iconic and resonant elements. Each of four case studies is anchored by a key image – a poster that serves as a platform from which to investigate other imagery devoted to the same theme – and incorporates visual and contextual analysis, contemporary public reception, and an exploration of influential iconography originating from both fine art and popular sources as well as their literary counterparts. The first chapter focuses on the man at the center of it all, Buffalo Bill himself, and the meanings of the various roles he played within the Wild West's arena and in its advertising. The second chapter analyzes the complicated and shifting status of Indians near the close of the nineteenth century. The cowboy, who, like the Indian, experienced a change in reputation vividly chronicled by the Wild West and its promotional imagery, is the subject of the third chapter. The Congress of Rough Riders of the World, a reflection of increasing American imperialism, cultural hegemony and exceptionalism during an era when the word "frontier" no longer strictly referred to the American West, is the topic of the final chapter. The posters of Buffalo Bill's Wild West advertised more than a traveling exhibition that captivated millions for three decades. A century after the exhibition met its fate on the auction block, the posters designed to promote it still perpetuate its fame. Simultaneously, images of Buffalo Bill, Indians, cowboys, and multinational Rough Riders continue to illuminate many defining currents of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. When considered in their cultural context, the posters of Buffalo Bill's Wild West both influenced and underscored complex sociopolitical ideologies, perspectives, and values that challenged and shaped America.

Durant la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, la chasse a changé. D'une libre cueillette aléatoire du gibier, elle a été peu à peu dirigée vers des concepts de récolte modérément intrusive et vers la gestion de la faune sauvage. Caractérisant la chasse française, particulièrement lorsqu'elle est pratiquée traditionnellement, aux chiens courants, le jeu-duel avec le gibier a persisté, parfois avec difficulté. Longtemps peu abondant, le sanglier, comme tout le grand gibier de plaine, a observé une forte croissance démographique au cours des trente dernières années. Il engendre désormais de plus en plus de nuisances aux activités humaines. Alors que seuls les chasseurs régulent les sangliers, tout en assurant le financement de l'Administration de la chasse et l'indemnisation des dégâts à l'agriculture, leurs effectifs connaissent un déclin prononcé et continu. Les pouvoirs publics sont confrontés à un impératif de maîtrise des populations de sangliers. Afin d'optimiser l'efficacité des actions de chasse, les doctrines longuement enseignées et imposées au chasseur sont progressivement remises en cause au profit du rétablissement de techniques si longtemps bannies. Mus par une passion extraordinaire, les chasseurs, grâce à leur loisir, contribuent à l'intérêt public. Néanmoins, ils acceptent avec difficulté les objectifs qui leur sont fixés mais aussi et au-delà, la seconde révolution conceptuelle qui leur est imposée. Cultures cynégétiques, représentations symboliques, rapport au gibier, au sauvage et à la nature sous-tendent comme ils président à l'acte de chasse. Au risque d'hypothéquer les chances de réussite des nouvelles politiques publiques, il apparaît que ces dimensions fondatrices et essentielles doivent être prises en compte dans la promotion des mesures comme dans l'action normative conduites par cette Administration tripartite "sui generis" qui caractérise la chasse française, impliquant l'État, un établissement public dédié et les fédérations des chasseurs.

In the second half of the 20th century, hunting has changed. From a free random sampling of game, it has been orientated towards concepts of mildly intrusive wildlife harvest and management. Characterizing French hunting, in particular when practiced traditionally, with hounds, is that the dueling-play with the wild game has persisted, though with some difficulty. Having been scarce for a long period, wild boar, just as other lowland ungulates, experienced a strong demographic increase over the last three decades. The species nowadays causes harm to human activities which can be rather serious. And while only the hunters regulate wild boar population, contributing at the same time to the financing of the Hunting Administration and of the compensation of agricultural damages, their own numbers are in a clear and ongoing decline. Public authorities are confronted with the necessity to control wild boar populations. In order to optimize the efficacy of hunting activities, the rules submitted and imposed to the hunter are progressively put into question to the…

This dissertation engages with anthropological debates of the representation of Native peoples in performance through a series of comparative case studies that examine Native North American participation in Wild West shows. Using multi-sited ethnographic and ethnohistorical approaches, it investigates the experiences of some Native performers with the top Wild West shows historically (1885-1930), of three Mohawk families who performed in a variety of spectacles (early 1900s ), and of contemporary performers in Wild West show re-creations at EuroDisney (France) and Buffalo Bill Days (Sheridan, Wyoming, U.S.A). This research focuses on Native performers' perspectives and experiences in order to complicate the picture of exploitation and commercialization in this context. In this dissertation, rather than focusing solely on the production of stereotypes, I trace the extent and various forms of Native agency and expressions of identity through a series of encounters that occur in a Wild West show "contact zone." Drawing on the concept of transculturation, I argue that Native performers adopted and used contact zone encounters as a space to express their opinions or to maintain, express, and/or contest Native identity. I thus elucidate the various forms of agency that Native performers have wielded, whether expressive, communicative, performative, or agency of cultural projects. A "cultural projects" approach to agency considers Native performers own goals and social relationships in addition to the socio-political constraints and power relations that structure their lives. Native performers had their own cultural projects; they actively pursued the opportunities and benefits of working in Wild West shows. I argue that narratives of opportunity, success, and pride found in the employment encounter, in oral histories of Mohawk performers' experiences, and in interviews with contemporary performers, represent agency of cultural projects. Oral histories from Mohawk performers' descendants and their interpretations of the archival record were crucial for revealing and substantiating these alternative perspectives of Native experiences in Wild West shows and spectacles.

Roland Barthes argues, in his 1957 Mythologies, that in the modern world mass media act as the perfect vehicles for circulating modern mythology, which, as he characterizes it, is the collusion of form and content that seeks to hide ideology in its message, while embedding it in our minds, from whence it can emanate seemingly naturally as our own dreams and ideals. Barthes gives ‘bourgeois song’ as an example of a modern-myth vehicle, a musical style that is exemplified in Italy by the music produced and disseminated by public radio and the yearly Sanremo music festival and competition, which began to define the Italian pop music scene as early as 1951. Yet, starting in the late 1950s Italian music groups and cantautori (singer-songwriters) appeared in Turin and Genoa and set themselves up against mainstream music. The cantautore genre sought to create music that was meaningful, and politically and socially motivated, rather than pure entertainment; it sought, furthermore, to counter mainstream ideologies during the revolutionary years of the mid 1960s and 1970s, when cantautori largely acted as mouthpieces for a generation that sought to raze and re-sow the ideological landscape. This dissertation asks what role popular countercultural cantautori played in propagating, altering, and/or revealing modern mythologies in Italy during the revolutionary years. Specifically, it investigates the role of Fabrizio De André in relation to other popular and mass-media producers working in Italy and abroad during those tumultuous years. The investigation is in four chapters that are organized around four sets of mythical figures: Cowboys and Indians, The Hanged Man, Jesus of Nazareth, and the Spoon River Anthology poet, Edgar Lee Masters. De André’s work is put in conversation with work by Francesco Guccini, Bob Dylan, François Villon, Dario Fo, Pier Paolo Pasolini and others, while his use of each myth is embedded in critical discussions of that myth by scholars and cultural theorists such as Umberto Eco, Norbert Elias, Max Weber, Cesare Pavese and John Hallwas.

▼ Since 2010, a major West Nile virus (WNV) outbreak of human infections took place in Greece. From 2010 until 2014 more than 624 laboratory-confirmed cases and 73 deaths were caused by the virus. This thesis reports several studies conducted to investigate possible implication of wild birds during the WNV outbreak in Greece. Moreover, this thesis reports studies conducted to evaluate the application of novel technologies and tools like Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and multiplex diagnostic techniques (microarrays) in wild birds surveillance programs in terms of stratifying surveillance efforts and resources and improving the efficiency of monitoring existing outbreaks and timely recognizing new ones.A WNV lineage 2 strain was molecularly identified and characterised in a Eurasian magpie hunted in Greece in 2010, during a WNV outbreak in humans. This is the first report of detection of WNV RNA in wild birds, and the first direct implication of wild birds to the outbreak. Phylogenetic analysis revealed the highest sequence similarity (>99%) with other WNV lineage 2 strains derived from birds of prey in Austria and Hungary (2004–2009). A serological and molecular surveillance was further conducted on samples of hunter-harvested wild birds prior to and during the outbreak, as well as on samples derived from various areas of mainland Greece.Fourteen positive sera were obtained from birds hunter-harvested up to 8 months prior to the human outbreak. Specific genetic determinants of virulence (His249Pro NS3 mutation, E-glycosylation motif) were recognized in the WNV lineage 2 magpie strain and a nucleotide mismatch was revealed between this strain and a mosquito WNV strain isolated one month earlier in the same area. This is the first report regarding exposure of wild birds to WNV prior to the 2010 outbreak, in Greece. Results provide evidence of the implication of wild birds in a local enzootic cycle that could allow maintenance and amplification of the virus before and during the outbreak. Findings of past exposure of migratory birds to WNV upon their arrival in Greece during autumn migration, suggest avian species with similar migration traits as candidates for the introduction of WNV into Greece. Results showed association of human cases with wild birds’ exposure to the virus; no avian sera were found positive in prefectures not affected by the WNV outbreak. In contrast, positive avian sera were found in every prefecture that human WNV cases occurred in 2011.Another aim of this thesis was to establish a monitoring system with wild birds and reported human cases data using Geographical Information System (GIS). Potential distribution of WNV was modelled by combining wild bird serological surveillance data with environmental factors (e.g. elevation, slope, land use, vegetation density, temperature, precipitation indices, and population density). Local factors including areas of low altitude and proximity to water were important predictors of appearance of both human and wild bird cases (Odds Ratio = 1,001 95%CI =…

▼ William Frederick Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, is one of the most well-known figures in American history. The former bison hunter was famous for his heroic adventures and charismatic personality. His phrases “about balky mules, riders who killed three thousand buffalos, horses who ate men and his Indian exploits” were adopted everywhere.1 He even used the term ‘rough riders’ before Teddy Roosevelt did.2 However, Cody was not only known for his personality. He was also an entertainer and his Wild-West shows toured around the United States and Europe. Romanticized evens and characters of the Old West attracted a large number of people. As a result, Cody and his shows became a symbol for the ‘Wild West’. The Buffalo Bill Historical Centre (BBHC) in Cody Wyoming researches this subject. Many books and articles have been written on Cody’s influence on American culture. This resulted in fascinating insights. For example, Jay S. Kasson asserted that he did not only represent “a great entertainment form” but also “a link between national identity and popular culture”.3 This means that the Wild West show should not be understood as just a show. It also implicates the dissemination of a certain image about America’s identity. This explains why Buffalo Bill is such a popular topic among American authors. However, Cody’s influence on European perceptions is less well researched. This is an interesting observation because it is a well-known fact that Buffalo Bill made three tours on the Continent. The BBHC has therefore started an international research project to solve this problem. The academic importance of this research should not be underestimated. W.T. Stead already wrote in his book The Americanization of the World (1902) “how the rest of the world would be inevitably swamped by American products and American cultural values”.4 This prognosis clearly realized when looking back in history. Coca-Cola, Hollywood, semantic influences and of course the ‘Wild West’-cult can all be found in European culture. Therefore, the Buffalo Bill’s popular shows may have changed European perceptions about America to great extent. This suggestion is strengthened when focusing for example on the Mussolini Propaganda. Italian fascists claimed that Cody originated from Italian condottieri. They were not the only ones who wrote about his influence. Don Russell describes in his book ‘the lives and legends of Buffalo Bill’ how the English started to see "the American West as one of the romantic and adventurous areas of the world" after the spectacular shows "invaded England in 1887".5 As a result of these observations, the influence of the ‘Buffalo Bill-legend’ on Europe should be researched in greater detail because it could tell something about how Europeans visualized the American West. This thesis will not address whole of Europe but only the Netherlands despite the fact that Cody never visited this country. Regardless, Buffalo Bill was still very popular among the Dutch. A databank for newspapers shows that his name can be found in… Advisors/Committee Members: Verheul, Jaap, Kroes, Rob.

▼ Wildlife managers depend on accurate information regarding wild turkey survival patterns and survival rates to properly manage turkey populations. Male Rio Grande wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo intermedia) have not previously been studied in the Texas Panhandle and southwestern Kansas. Furthermore, the effect of movements on turkey survival has not been studied. From January 2000 through August 2002, we studied survival and movement of 107 juvenile male and 115 adult male radio-marked Rio Grande wild turkeys on 4 study sites in the Texas Panhandle and southwestern Kansas. We hypothesized that male Rio Grande wild turkey survival differed among study sites, seasons, and age classes and that survival rates were inversely correlated with movement rates. Based on previous studies, we predicted that males would experience lowest survival during spring and that there would be no difference in survival between age classes. We also predicted that higher movement rates would lead to lower survival rates. Hunting accounted for ordy 18.5% of all mortalities and was censored in order to investigate natural mortality patterns. Juvenile males had higher annual survival rates than adults (0.597 versus 0.364). Juvenile male survival did not differ among seasons. Adult male turkey survival was higher during summer (0.915) than during spring (0.725), autumn (0.671), and winter (0.851). During seasons that involved long-distance, range shifting movements, males had lower survival rates than during seasons when within range movements were common. Turkeys that shifted ranges had lower survival rates than turkeys that remained within 1 core-use area. Also, survival rates increased as time since range shift increased. Most mortality was attributed to predation by coyotes {Canis latrans). However, evidence of mortality due to disease, emaciation, and other forms of predation, such as bobcats {Lynx rufus), were likely masked by coyote sign associated with scavenging. Managers should be aware of the presence of natural mortality factors that are evident in lightly-hunted populations. Managers interested in increasing the survival of male Rio Grande wild turkeys should concentrate on efforts that will provide needed resources in close proximity to roosts. Habitat use has not been described for male Rio Grande wild turkeys in the northern extent of their natural range. We described the characteristics of roost trees and compared the characteristics of diurnal habitat used for different behaviors (displaying, loafing, and feeding) by male Rio Grande wild turkeys in the Texas Panhandle and southwestern Kansas. Most turkeys roosted in eastern cottonwoods (Populus deltoides), but black locusts (Robinia pseudoacacia) and net leaf hackberries {Celtis reticulata), were also frequently used. Mean roost tree dbh, height, and height of lowest branch was 49.9 cm, 13.6 m, and 3.4 m, respectively. Important characteristics of displaying habitat included low visual obstruction and low shrub density. Loafing habitat was characterized by greater canopy…

▼ This thesis is concentrated on the historical aspects of the elitist field sports of deer stalking and game shooting, as practiced by four Irish landed ascendancy families in the south west of Ireland. Four great estates were selected for study. Two of these were, by Irish standards, very large: the Kenmare estate of over 136,000 acres in the ownership of the Roman Catholic Earls of Kenmare, and the Herbert estate of over 44,000 acres in the ownership of the Protestant Herbert family. The other two were, in relative terms, small: the Grehan estate of c.7,500 acres in the ownership of the Roman Catholic Grehan family, and the Godfrey estate of c.5,000 acres, in the ownership of the Protestant Barons Godfrey. This mixture of contrasting estate size, owner's religions, nobleman, minor aristocrat and untitled gentry should, it is argued, yield a diversity of the field sports and lifestyles of their owners, and go some way to assess the contributions, good or bad, they have bequeathed to modern Ireland. Equally, it should help in assessing what importance, if any, applied to hunting. In this context, hunting is here used in its broadest meaning, and includes deer stalking and game shooting, as well as hunting with dogs and hounds on foot and horseback. Where a specific type of hunting is involved, it is so described; for example, fox hunting, stag hunting, hare hunting. Similarly, the term game is sometimes used in sporting literature to encompass all species of quarry killed, and can include deer, ground game (hares and rabbits), waterfowl, and various species of game birds. Where it refers to specific species, these are so described; for example grouse, pheasants, woodcork, wild duck, etc. Since two of these estates - the Kenmare and Herbert - each created a deer forest, unique in mid-19th century Ireland, they form the core study estates; the two smaller estates serve as comparative studies. And, equally unique, as these two larger estates held the only remnant population of native Irish red deer, the survival of that herd itself forms a concomitant core area of analysis. The numerary descriptions applied to these animals in popular literature are critically reassessed against prime source historical evidence, as are the so-called deer forest 'clearances'. The core period, 1840 to 1970, is selected as the seminal period, spanning 130 years, from the creation of the deer forests to when a fundamental change in policy and administration was introduced by the state. Comparison is made with similar estates elsewhere, in Britain and especially in Scotland. Their influence on the Irish methods and style of hunting is historically examined.

▼ West Nile virus (WNV) infection rates in wild birds and mosquitoes, and the blood-feeding patterns of mosquitoes were examined at two study sites in Baton Rouge, Louisiana to identify the potential avian reservoir hosts and mosquito vectors of West Nile virus (WNV). Blood samples from a total of 2,442 wild birds in the orders Passeriformes, Piciformes and Columbiformes were collected from May 2006 to April 2008 and tested for the presence of WNV RNA using RT-PCR and antibodies to WNV using an epitope-blocking ELISA. WNV was detected in 3.77% of wild bird blood samples and antibodies to WNV were detected in 12.29% of samples. The species with the most historically infected individuals were Northern Cardinal, House Sparrow, American Goldfinch, White-throated Sparrow, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Brown Thrasher, Northern Mockingbird, Carolina Wren, Tufted Titmouse and Mourning Dove. The detection of ELISA positive bird blood samples were correlated with the detection of RT-PCR positive samples. The potential for South-central Louisiana’s winter resident and migrant passerines to act as long-distant transport agents for West Nile virus was demonstrated. A total of 21,644 female mosquitoes were collected and tested using RT-PCR. WNV was detected in 4.1% of mosquito pools tested with the greatest infection rates in mosquitoes of the genus Culex. The greatest number of positive pools were comprised of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. Vertebrate hosts of 120 female mosquitoes were successfully identified using PCR amplification and sequencing of the Cytochrome-b gene. Culex quinquefasciatus females host sources were avian (49.4%), mammalian (48.3%) and amphibian (2.2%) with the Northern Cardinal, Brown Thrasher, Blue Jay, Downy Woodpecker and Eastern Bluebird as the most common avian hosts and the domestic dog, Human, Northern Raccoon, White-tailed Deer and domestic cow as the most common mammalian hosts. No seasonal shift in the proportion of Culex quinquefasciatus feeding on avian or mammalian hosts was detected during this study. Stationary point counts and other observations were used to estimate wild bird species diversity and species abundance and at the study sites. Forage ratios in Culex quinquefasciatus were calculated using species abundance estimations and the frequency of bloodmeals identified from those species.
