▼ No abstract. The following taken from introduction: From approximately 1900 social workers, doctors, biologists and legislators throughout the Western world began in increasing numbers to direct their attention to eugenics, an applied 'science' which aimed at improving the genetic potentialities of the human species. As the new creed gained respect and as individuals, many of them in the front-line of the health and social services, sought an explanation for society's ills and a means of curing them, eugenic societies sprung up in many countries, assuming a different character wherever they took root. This thesis is a history of eugenics in New Zealand and it traces the development of eugenic thought from the early years of the twentieth century through to the 1930s when the subject experienced a brief revival of interest. By this time, however, eugenics had been deserted by the scientific establishment, who now realized that much of earlier eugenics propaganda was little more than unsubstantiated prejudice, and the creed was soon to be irreparably discredited by the demonstration of perverted eugenics in Nazi Germany. In tracing the history of eugenics in New Zealand attention is directed to the work of local writers on eugenics, to the role of politicians and to the activities of the New Zealand Eugenics Education Society. The Society was formed in Dunedin in 1910, three years after its parent body had been established in London, but despite the formation of other branches in Wellington, Christchurch and Timaru, the local Society persisted for less than four years. Interest in eugenics, at least in certain sectors of the population, remained high, however, and its role in a variety of issues which arose during the 1920s is examined. This agitation culminated in the 1924 Committee of Inquiry into Mental Defectives and Sexual Offenders and, four years later, the Mental Defectives Amendment Bill. In discussing the revival of interest in eugenics during the 1930s a case study of discussion on the subject in the Women's Division of the New Zealand Farmers' Union offers an insight into the mechanics of agitation and the issues raised by the topic

▼ This project examines discourses of hereditary “fitness” and their variations at three moments when they seep into public and political circulation: the rhetorics of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century eugenics, of the twentieth-century birth control movement, and of late-twentieth-century assisted reproductive technologies. More specifically, it studies the construction of the label “the Unfit” – a phrase present throughout scientific and eugenic literature of the early-twentieth century. Informed by the concept of “survival of the fittest” as popularized by Charles Darwin and Herbert Spencer, hereditary “fitness” has been redeployed in scientific and public discussions of reproduction for sexist, racist, ableist, classist, and heteronormative ends. While the ability to produce offspring has always been intertwined with the notion of “survival of the fittest,” the misuse of these discourses, under the guise of science, results in discriminatory practices largely directed at women. By tracing its circulation at specific historical points, I reveal the social constructedness of hereditary “fitness” and complicate current beliefs about what it means to be “fit” for reproduction and/or parenthood. To establish the construction of hereditary “fitness” as a instrument of the eugenics movement, I examine several rhetorical formations within the discourses of science and eugenics – including definition, special topoi, kairos and audience, and figures of thought – to make visible the specific work each performs. In each chapter, I emphasize the ways these rhetorical formations participate in the production of women as fit objects and subjects for reproduction. Theoretical discussions of the power of language to shape, construct, and produce often stop short of showing the processes by and through which language works on a subject or object. Similarly, definitions of rhetorical elements can be abstract, often accompanied only by decontextualized quotes and excerpts for illustration. Here, I perform a deliberate, measured study of these rhetorical elements in an effort to lay bare the persuasive action of the elements themselves as well as their effects upon us.

▼ There has long been a connection between the concept of utopia as a perfect society and the desire for perfect humans to live in this society. A form of selective breeding takes place in many fictional utopias from Plato’s Republic onwards, but it is only with the naming and promotion of eugenics by Francis Galton in the late nineteenth century that eugenics becomes a consistent and important component of utopian fiction. In my introduction I argue that behind the desire for eugenic fitness within utopias resides a sense that human nature needs improving. Darwin’s Origin of Species (1859) prompted fears of degeneration, and eugenics was seen as a means of restoring purpose and control. Chapter Two examines the impact of Darwin’s ideas on the late nineteenth-century utopia through contrasting the evolutionary fears of Samuel Butler’s Erewhon (1872) with Edward Bellamy’s more positive view of the potential of evolution in Looking Backward (1888). Chapter Three uses examples from three late-nineteenth-century feminist utopias to highlight the aspirations within these societies to use science to transform women’s social position and transcend the biological determinism of their reproductive role. Chapter Four focuses on the social theory and utopian fiction of Charlotte Perkins Gilman to illustrate how eugenics becomes part of her vision of progress for women and the human race as a whole. Chapter Five turns to dystopian fiction from H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Charlotte Haldane and Katherine Burdekin to examine how eugenic ideas retained an element of idealism even in the context of the dystopias of the first half of the twentieth century. Chapter Six looks at the fate of eugenics in utopian fiction after the Second World War and argues that the resurgence of utopianism in the form of the ecological utopia continue to rely on eugenics, population control and manipulation of human behaviour to succeed. My conclusion argues that eugenics is a utopian idea with enduring appeal despite the disastrous effects of its practical implementation, and that utopian and dystopian fiction offer an important lens through which to understand the hopes and fears represented by the different versions of eugenics and the current debates over genetic enhancements and transhumanism.

The author presents this studys problematic: can the biotechnological practices for assisted reproduction and genic therapy violate the individuals fundamental rights as well as cause damaging repercussions in the genetics patrimony of the humanity? From this thematic: The juridical content of the concept of strict beneficence in face of the neo-eugenic experience: about the limits among therapeutic and reproductive techniques and eugenic practices applied in the human species the object of this study was developed: eugenics. The theoretical referential comes from the work of the Cathedra of Law and Human Genome from the University of Deusto in Bilbao Spain under the direction of Professor Carlos Casabona consultations to the periodical from the Cathedra The Magazine of Law and Human Genome beyond Galton Lacadena Barbas Soutullo Semprini Frankena Vasquez and S. Rocha. This study is characterized as qualitative bibliographic and it has an exploratory nature. The author has as a general objective : to demonstrate that many of the biotechnological practices currently adopted under the label of techniques of assisted reproduction or of genic therapy then protected by the protective mantle of science present actually a strong neo- eugenic connotation . There is the hypothesis that it is necessary to establish limits between the actions with strict beneficial consequences that emanate from the biomedical practices and the eugenic ones the current juridical content of this concept in face of different types of culture as well as to set out the way its acceptability will be seen by society. This study is organized into six parts including the Introduction and the Conclusions. In Chapter 2 the author writes about the object of the study: eugenics. The proposal is to delineate the historical trajectory of the traditional eugenic ideology analyzing its conceptions and the theoretical foundation that generated it as well as to highlight the thinking of some scholars that defend the movement in favor of the purity of human race especially Francis Galton in Chapter 3 the phenomenon of the dissemination of eugenic practices around the world and its repercussions in Chapter 4 the outbreak and evolution of genetics as a scientific discipline its achievements and consequent unfolding as well as the intensification that has been experienced by the eugenic ideas from the advent of the genomic medicine in Chapter 5 a juridical profile and the content of the concept of strict beneficence that comes from the principialist American bioethical doctrine that was unfolded in the sense of being admitted not only as an obligation nut also as an obligation / right.

M.A. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.

Moʻokūʻauhau (genealogical succession, pedigree)1 is a critical component to Kanaka ʻŌiwi2 understanding of kuleana, defined by Young as "a received sense of ancestrally-based responsibility", and is a most important part of the fabric of Hawaiian national consciousness3. A eugenics effort in US-occupied Territorial Hawaiʻi would serve to assist in the erosion of an ʻŌiwi national identity and in the construction of a Hawaiian-American racial and national identity specifically by framing ʻŌiwi ancestry as degenerate and positioning good American citizenship as that which would save ʻŌiwi from extinction. Hawaiian Kingdom subjects who participated in the armed seizure of authority from the constitutional sovereign of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893 were of American and European ancestry and held a U.S. American national allegiance. A political and ethnic minority, this small group of men became the civilian arm of the U.S. occupation of Hawaiʻi4, maintaining oligarchic governance over Hawaiʻi throughout the next six decades. The political domination of the new regime did not go unchallenged however as immediately following the armed dethronement of Liliʻuokalani in 1893, an incredible grassroots organizing effort fueled by Aloha ʻĀina (love for land and country)5, mobilized to defend the political independence of the Hawaiian Kingdom from the United States. A realignment of ʻŌiwi national identity centered around moʻokūʻauhau in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi to one based on race and racial order with the United States, would prove critical to the pacification of this staunch opposition to U.S. American control. Positioning ʻŌiwi moʻokūʻauhau, a lifeline to nationalism, as degenerate would assist with such a realignment. Influenced by the American eugenics movement, the Hawaiʻi arm took century-old ideas of ʻŌiwi moral and physical decay6 and transformed it from a religious ideology to one couched in science and rationality. However, as with the advancement of such notions by missionaries in Hawaiʻi in the nineteenth century, the twentieth century reproduction of these notions also served to position the haole as superior, more civilized and the natural keeper of power over Kanaka ʻŌiwi and their lands.

▼ This dissertation examines the influence of Protestant missionaries in Africa on the development of Protestant poor relief policies in Germany during the period of 1850-1933. Specifically, it seeks to understand better how and why Protestants embraced eugenics during the early twentieth century. To this end it uses the famous Bethel institutions in Bielefeld as a case study. With both a foreign and domestic mission, Bethel provides the unique opportunity to study the interaction between the two in a single context. In Globalization and the Nation in Imperial Germany, Sebastian Conrad suggests that the Bethel missionaries were responsible for pushing the adoption of eugenic policies in Germany upon returning to Bielefeld after 1918. While Conrad's assertion that the foreign mission had an extensive influence on the development of Protestant social welfare policies, he misstates the role of the missionaries. Rather than advocating for the adoption of eugenic policies the Bethel missionaries formed the core pocket of opposition to eugenic ideas after 1918. Prior to WWI Friedrich von Bodelschwingh, a nationalist, conservative pastor and director of the famous Bethel institutions in Bielefeld developed a philosophy of poor relief that stressed a strong work ethic, notions of responsibility, the importance of familial structures, and a mixture of Protestantism and German nationalism. His philosophy drew heavily on the pioneering work of Johann Wichern, the founder of the Inner Mission and the methods used by Protestant missionaries to western Africa during the early nineteenth century. His efforts were a response to the fears of German Protestants in the wake of the failed revolutions of 1848. They feared the potential impact of unemployed migrant workers on Germany's social and political stability. Living on the margins of society, Protestant reformers worried that they would become interested in radical ideologies like Communism and thus hostile to the church and the conservative monarchy. The foreign mission was central to the formation and development of Bodelschwingh's philosophy. Even before arriving at Bethel in 1872, he had made a practical attempt to articulate his ideas as a missionary in Paris among working class Germans. At Bethel Bodelschwingh took his ideas further by founding an actual worker colony. The colony, located outside the city and using a highly regimented lifestyle, stressed the same philosophy he had articulated in Paris. Only after the performance of physical labor would one receive assistance. These colonies, because of their perceived potential to transform marginalized, disaffected individuals into loyal and productive members of society, were wildly popular with Protestant reformers and the Monarchy and therefore received substantial support from the state and gradually spread across the country. Given Bodelschwingh's success with the Inner Mission, colonial authorities, hoping he could use the same philosophy in Africa to transform Africans into loyal and productive colonial subjects,…

▼ This dissertation explores how a transnational movement for women’s reproductive freedom became, by the Cold War era, a state-sponsored effort of population control targeting racially and economically marginalized women. It seeks to explain how an effort to empower women and give them more control over their bodies was organized into programs that effectively disempowered them in order to meet the perceived needs of the state. It does this by following the trajectories of two iconic transnational birth control activists, Margaret Sanger and Ishimoto (Katō) Shizue. As these feminists attempted to attract broad elite support beyond national borders, their birth control cause became caught in the imperial struggles between the United States and Japan. The narrative starts from the aftermath of World War I, when feminists and socialists in both Japan and the United States saw birth control as a key to empower working-class women exploited under capitalism and imperialism. During the interwar decades, birth control activists found their goals and purposes more closely aligned with liberal internationalists, advocating birth control as an essential tool to maintain world peace by taming the outward thrust of “aggressive” and “fertile” races such as the Japanese. By the Cold War period, scholars and policymakers in both countries embraced birth control as an essential prerequisite for modernity and a political tool to fight population explosion and communist invasion in Asia. Feminist notions of control over women’s own reproductive decisions were thus replaced by political schemes to strengthen the “national body” and to maintain “international peace” under U.S. hegemony. My work analyzes how foreign politics not only influenced “population control” programs in a non-Western country, but also helped shape birth control politics in America. Japan’s overpopulation problem, often described as a threat to a peaceful world order, helped make the discussion on reproductive control acceptable, even “respectable,” among professionals and elite leaders in the United States. As the birth control cause grew to an international scale, however, it became increasingly removed from the needs and rights of average women.

Building on labor histories of the banana trade, most notably by Jason Colby, as well as histories of tropical tourism, most notably Catherine Cocks, it examines workers and tourists side-by-side, describing the racialization of labor and leisure. Imagined as a timeless mañana-land, the American Mediterranean was the crucible of a radical modernity that prefigured the future of globalized corporate capitalism. The U.S. imperial state and the private empire of United Fruit, in cooperation with modernizing elites in Latin America and the U.S. South, expanded with public health campaigns to eradicate yellow fever, contain hookworm and malaria, and reporting hurricanes. Agribusiness corporations developed a rationalized approach to transportation, communication and administration. White managerial classes relied on the labor, skills and knowledge of non-white immigrant workers, including Black Jamaicans who brought banana planting to Central America, and Japanese and Mexicans in the citrus groves of Southern California. Vertical integration maximized corporate profits while slashing costs, making bananas and oranges cheap consumer staples and symbols of the abundance of capitalism, as trains and steamships that transported these fruits also carried growing numbers of wealthy white U.S. tourists. Transnational labor migrations both created and undermined racial segregation. Afro-American migration, West Indian immigration and Mexican immigration altered the racial and cultural makeup of the U.S., creating Jazz Age subcultures and radicalized racial nationalisms. Racism against West Indians shaped nationalism in the Spanish Caribbean, opposing the corporate imperialism of United Fruit. Eugenics movements across the American Mediterranean claimed the sanitary legacy of public health campaigns against tropical diseases, advocating restrictions on non-white immigration, as well as more extreme eugenic measures, such as sterilization. By describing how capitalist globalization provoked backlashes against needed but unwanted immigrants, I will challenge ideas of globalization as a weakening the state, while drawing parallels with the contemporary rise of populist nationalism.

A presente Tese de Doutorado tem como propósito analisar algumas das ideias formuladas no âmbito do discurso racialista e do discurso eugenista produzidos no Brasil durante o período que se estende entre 1870 e 1940. A investigação, embora não exclusivamente, se coloca na trilha das teorizações do filósofo francês Michel Foucault. A genealogia foucaultiana é tomada como perspectiva de análise histórica para sustentar a ideia de que as teorias racialistas e eugenistas por aqui produzidas foram instituídas e instituíram efeitos relativos ao funcionamento do que Foucault chamou de biopoder: poder que tem por objeto a vida do homem. Procura-se problematizar, em primeiro lugar, a emergência do discurso eugenista produzido no Brasil durante as primeiras décadas do século XX, tendo em vista seus vínculos genealógicos com as teorias raciais produzidas nas últimas décadas do século XIX; em segundo lugar, a forma como esse discurso científico formulado pelos teóricos eugenistas locais procurou definir a educação como elemento essencial para o sucesso de seu projeto de melhoramento racial da população brasileira.

This doctoral dissertation aims to analyze some ideas formulated in the light of racialist and eugenicist discourse which was produced in Brazil during the period extending from 1870 to 1940. The investigation, though not solely, is based on the theories proposed by the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Foucault's genealogy is taken as the historical analytical perspective to support the claim that the racialist theories and the eugenicist theories, produced here, were determined and determined effects on the operation of what Foucault called biopower, namely, a kind of power which has man's life as its object. The present work aims to discuss, first, the emergence of eugenicist discourse produced in Brazil during the first decades of the twentieth century in the light of their connections with racial theories produced in the last decades of the nineteenth century; secondly, how this scientific discourse formulated by local eugenicist theoreticians tried to define education as a crucial element for the success of the racial improvement project which was conceived for the Brazilian population.

Cette Thèse de Doctorat a comme but développer une analyse de quelques idées formulées dans le cadre du discours racialiste et du discours eugéniste produits au Brésil pendant le période que s’étend entre 1870 et 1940. L’enquête, bien que ne pas exclusivement, suivi le sentier des théorisations du philosophe Michel Foucault. La généalogie foucaldienne est utilisé comme perspectif historique d’analyse pour soutenir que les théories racialistes et les théories eugénistes produits ici ont été institués et, de même façon, ont institué des effets relatifs à ce que Foucault a appelé comme biopouvoir : pouvoir qui a par objet la vie l’homme. Je cherche de problématiser, en premier lieu, l’émergence du discours eugéniste produit au Brésil pendant le début du XXème siècle, compte tenu ses liens généalogiques avec les théories…

▼ Playwright George Bernard Shaw has a reputation as a humanitarian, an indefatigable seeker of justice and, in his own words, a “world betterer.” But this reputation is difficult to reconcile with his support for the totalitarian regimes and dictators that emerged after the First World War, which is not so well known. This enthusiasm is usually dismissed as an expression of Shaw’s well known propensity for comic exaggeration and hyperbole, his pugnacious rhetoric, his love of paradox, and especially his addiction to antagonizing the British political establishment. However, as I believe this dissertation proves, Shaw’s support was genuine, rooted in his powerful desire for absolute control over the unruly and chaotic, in a deep psychological longing for perfection. Shaw expressed rigid control over his own bodily instincts, and looked for political rulers of strong will and utopian designs to exercise similar control over unruly social elements. It is occasionally stated that Shaw’s support for totalitarianism grew out of his frustration with nineteenth century liberalism, which ineffectually culminated in a disastrous world war. Yet close analysis to two of Shaw’s Major Critical Essays from the 1890s shows that even then Shaw expressed a desire for a ruthless man of action unencumbered by the burden of conscience to come on the scene and establish a new world order, to initiate the utopian epoch. Indeed, a further analysis of a number of plays from before the war shows the impulse to be persistent and undeniable. This dissertation attempts to reveal the genuineness of Shaw’s totalitarianism by looking at his plays and prefaces, articles, speeches and letters, but is especially concerned to analyze the utopian desire that runs through so many of Shaw’s plays, looking at his political and eugenic utopianism as it is expressed in his drama and comparing it to his political totalitarianism. Shaw considered himself a “revolutionary writer,” and his activity as a socialist agitator, propagandist for Creative Evolution, and world famous playwright must be seen as growing out of the same utopian impulse. For fifty years Shaw expressed a desire for state liquidation of recalcitrant or incorrigibly unproductive citizens in the hope of clearing the ground for a “higher” kind of human creature. While Shaw knew that the public was not ready to act on such controversial ideas, he did hope that by disseminating his ideas through highly entertaining plays and essays they would take root in the mind and be activated later by the power of the will. This is how Lamarckian evolution works, and his method is a species of Fabian permeation. As Keegan says in John Bull’s Other Island, “every jest is an earnest in the womb of time.” By looking closely at Shaw’s plays and connecting them to his political activity, we will see that for Shaw the dictators were provisional supermen clearing the way for the advent of the real supermen who would come later, such as we see in the utopian plays that Shaw wrote in the last three… Advisors/Committee Members: Ferris, Lesley (Advisor).

▼ This dissertation examines the origins and course of development of the science of seroanthropology from its origins in World War I until the end of the Third Reich. Seroanthropology was a blend of two sciences—serology and anthropology—and sought to identify race through blood. It was perhaps most well-received by Germany’s völkisch race scientists, or those who believed in the superiority of the Aryan race to all others. During Weimar and Nazi Germany, race theorists emphasized physiognomic characteristics in racial classification. As examiners’ preferences varied, determining race was often a very subjective process. In the hope that blood would be a more efficient indicator of race than appearance, extensive efforts were made to realize a relationship between blood type and race. Some researchers came to affiliate blood type with race and a range of other characteristics. These tendencies were most conspicuous among researchers with a far-right political agenda, and I explore the ways in which their personal motivations were influenced by their professional activities. The scientific notion of “blood difference” was further exploited by race propagandists. Seroanthropology was attractive to a select group of far-right physicians who misappropriated blood science and medical fact for racist purposes, but there were also non-völkisch physicians of Jewish descent who made significant contributions to the study of blood and race. I examine the reasons for their involvement in a science that was misappropriated by anti-Semites. Jewish involvement in studies of race is more nuanced than has been claimed. This dissertation offers a revision of the recent biopolitics theory within modern German historiography which emphasizes the continuities between modern science and National Socialist racial policy. I question the notion that German studies of race and eugenics showed modernity’s “most fatal potential.” My analysis demonstrate how seroanthropology does not fit neatly into this more recent paradigm and thereby urges us to rethink the role of science in modernization. There was no “line of continuity” between Weimar and National Socialist seroanthropology. Advisors/Committee Members: Steigmann-Gall, Richard (Committee Chair).
