▼ Debates in Postcolonial and South African studies have long centered on the relative value of two different approaches to literature, which Benita Parry has categorized as "discourse analysis" and "historical materialist analysis." This methodological difference has generated enduring scholarly conflicts such as the one between Jacques Derrida, Anne McClintock, and Rob Nixon about how to theorize the word "apartheid." In a 1986 issue of Critical Inquiry, Derrida contests McClintock and Nixon's claim that the methodology of deconstruction divorces the language and discourse of apartheid from its historical reality. The exchange between Derrida and his interlocutors McClintock and Nixon exemplifies an ongoing methodological challenge in Postcolonial Studies. Critics who are committed to a sociological perspective on literature argue that the most dominant strains in Postcolonial and South African studies privilege "discourse analysis" over "historical materialist analysis," thereby neglecting the social, economic, and political contexts of Postcolonial fiction. In this dissertation, I argue that the most productive readings of South African fiction begin by thinking beyond the materialist / textualist divide. This hybrid approach has been advocated by critics such as Edward Said, whose work draws equally on Foucaultian discourse analysis and the Marxist concept of hegemony. Inspired by Said's dual orientation to language and history, text and context, my project combines the synchronic approach favored by poststructuralists with the diachronic focus of materialist criticism. My argument is twofold. First, I suggest that the vocabulary of modernism, postmodernism, and poststructuralism can be useful for understanding how authors such as Nadine Gordimer, Zoë Wicomb, Rayda Jacobs and Darryl Accone use form and narrative to theorize space and identity in their novels. Second, I stress that the forms and styles of their texts are nevertheless contingent on, and entangled with, the particularities of cultures, histories, and geographies. In this way, I demonstrate the ways in which the writers allow us to see that the textual is powerful as text not because it transcends the historical, but because it incorporates and mediates the historical.

▼ Research is a modern practice whose production of knowledge needs to be critically and continually examined. The pursuit of knowledge is not a neutral and objective endeavor; it is a socially situated practice that is embedded within power/knowledge/culture configurations. Historically, research discourses have labeled and positioned minority groups to an inferiority/superiority matrix, illustrating how research can create an oppressive otherness/alterity. Thus, the general purpose of this study was to critically critique research from the postcolonial perspectives of alterity and colonial discourse. In particular, the study sought to deconstruct the conceptual systems that create the alterity of (Mexican) American children within research discourse. The study was in part guided by Said's (1978) analysis of the colonial discourse in Orientalism. There were two parts to the study that analyzed one hundred and nineteen research documents from 1980-2004. Phase I identified the discursive themes that construct that alterity of (Mexican) Americans by employing a qualitative content analysis method. Phase II employed a discourse analysis method to deconstruct theconceptual systems and sites of power in the production of knowledge that position (Mexican) Americans as objects of research. The analysis disclosed that the conceptual systems that construct the alterity of (Mexican) Americans are structured by modern and colonial research structures that project a hegemonic Westernized vision of research, education, and human existence. Under these conceptual structures, there are multiple levels of alterity ascribed to (Mexican) Americans that continue to (re)inscribe positions of inferiority; as objects of research, they are constantly placed in a comparative framework against the dominant cultural norms. Some of the key sites of power in the production of knowledge about (Mexican) Americans are illustrated by the researcher (as author) and the university (as a privileged location). The conclusions problematized research as an apparatus that reconstructs hierarchical differences and reinscribes colonial relationships where the Other is defined only from a Western and culturally dominant perspective of separateness.

▼ My dissertation focuses on the persistence of national consciousness in postcolonial and contemporary British literatures. Theories of globalization after 1945 represent nationalism and culture as mutually exclusive and absolute terms. These theories project a heterogeneous, decentered global culture that transcends insular national boundaries. In contrast, I argue that contemporary literatures reconfigure nationalism as an ongoing negotiation between politics and culture, and emphasize the mutually constitutive relationship between transnational flows and national formations instead of their binary opposition. My first chapter provides a theoretical framework using classical European theories of nationalism, postcolonial theory, and the cultural criticism of Raymond Williams and the Frankfurt School. I argue that the older opposition of national identity against imperialism has shifted to a configuration of residual nationalism (as political consciousness and cultural critique) against globalization. Chapter Two shows how Kazuo Ishiguro's novels The Remains of the Day and The Unconsoled reshape literary conventions of Britishness, such as the "condition-of-England" narrative and the romance of the archive, by pushing these tropes of identity to their limit. Ishiguro illustrates how Britishness is commodified and consumed by official multiculturalism and the burgeoning heritage industry. In Chapter Three I argue that Derek Walcott's poetry and essays challenge the dominant perspective of the Caribbean as a postnational hybrid culture that exemplifies our globalized world. Through his representations of Caribbean and European figures who complement nationalism with culture in "The Schooner Flight" and "The Fortunate Traveller," Walcott shows us how diasporic subjectivities are produced in conjunction with national consciousness rather than by opposing nationalism to diaspora. In Chapter Four, I argue that the writing of Shirley Geok-lin Lim, who is regarded as both an Asian American and a Southeast Asian writer, interrogates state-sponsored national allegories of globalization and multiculturalism by reconfiguring dominant concepts of race and nation. Lim focuses on the sensuality and particularity of women and literature to imagine an alternative community of women that challenges and rethinks the nation without transcending it.

▼ Pleas for Partition in Train to Pakistan Most readers and critics of fictional works about the Partition of British India (that is the division of British India into India and Pakistan upon independence from the British in 1947) agree that writers tend to paint religious differences as the root cause of the communal conflict that eventually led to Partition. This tendency to blame Partition on religion is also found in critics who study Khushwant Singh's novel Train to Pakistan. In contrast, this thesis will demonstrate that instead of blaming communal diversity (in other words "difference of religion") as the root cause of Partition, Singh blames Partition on self-interested politicians. Singh's novel does not show any dissatisfaction among the different ethnic groups in India before Partition. Rather, it portrays communal harmony with individuals enjoying the full freedom of their religious rights. Singh accomplishes this portrayal largely through focusing on a microcosm of India in the fictional small village of Mano Majra on the India and Pakistan borders where inhabitants of different faiths live like brothers. In fact, the citizens of the village openly resist the decision of Partition by expressing their intentions to fight against external forces to protect their neighbors if attacked in the name of religious differences. Instead, by showing communal harmony and showing violence as coming from the top down – instead of from the people – Singh's novel blames Partition on Indian politicians, who create all kinds of conflicts and contradictions among the common people of India in order to promote their self-interest. This thesis will explore Singh's shift in blame by focusing on three aspects of his portrayal – religion, violence, and economic deprivation with forced migration – that together paint a portrait of greedy and manipulative politicians causing the violence of Partition to force migration. The first chapter on religion shows how Singh portrays religious harmony and how his characters resisted Partition. The second chapter on violence focuses on how ethnic groups are divided and led into conflict by politicians. The final chapter on forced migration examines how Singh portrays the followers of different religions as compelled and motivated to leave all of their wealth and possessions as well as their birthplaces where they have been living for generations with the promise of wealth in the hope of being financially better off. Overall, the thesis suggests that Singh was motivated in this depiction of Partition attempt to heal the still sensitive cultural divisions in India and Pakistan.

Cette thèse de doctorat, s’inscrivant dans le champ des études postcoloniales, s’intéresse à l’émergence du théâtre de l’immigration durant la décennie 1970 dans la continuité de luttes qui marquent l’apparition d’un discours critique sur la colonisation et ses effets. Le théâtre est y utilisé comme une arme de combat, une poursuite de l’activité politique et militante, permettant de démanteler les mécanismes d’aliénation et d’exploitation auxquels sont soumis les immigrés en contexte contemporain. Il est en effet désormais impossible de penser l’immigration sans penser les résultats d’une histoire qui a débuté avec la colonisation. Les indépendances, loin de consacrer une rupture dans les modes de domination établis pendant la colonisation, semblent au contraire en perpétuer certaines pensées et pratiques dans une expression renouvelée : c’est notamment à travers la figure de l’immigré algérien, excroissance à rebours de la colonie française qu’était l’Algérie, que des modes de traitement, d’encadrement et de surveillance de l’immigration, hérités en partie de la période coloniale, perdurent dans la période postcoloniale. Ces mécanismes de domination et d’exploitation des travailleurs immigrés seront violemment dénoncés durant la décennie, qui voit l’apparition à la fois d’une nouvelle subjectivité politique et l’émergence d’un théâtre immigré dont la pratique illustre les théories anglo-saxonnes sur la colonisation et ses conséquences dans le jaillissement de nouvelles formes discursives et esthétiques. Le poids de l’héritage colonial, en particulier celui lié à l’Algérie, permet ainsi de mobiliser les travailleurs autour d’une identité contextuelle et de développer un théâtre qui repose idéologiquement et esthétiquement sur l’examen panoramique d’une réalité qui s’inscrit dans une temporalité et une territorialité complexes, liées au mouvement.

This doctoral dissertation, falling in the field of postcolonial studies, investigates the emergence of an immigration theatre during the decade 1970 in the continuation of fights that characterise the development of a critical discourse regarding colonisation and its effects. In this context, theatre is used as a weapon, a prolongation of the political and militant activism, permitting to dismantle the mechanisms of alienation and exploitation to which immigrants are subject in contemporary environment. Indeed, it is now impossible to consider immigration without considering outcomes of a history initiated with colonisation. Independences, far from consecrating a rupture in the modes of domination established during colonisation, instead seem to perpetuate some beliefs and practises in a renewed expression: it is in particular through the Algerian immigrant figure, backward excrescence of the French colony Algeria was, that methods for processing, supervising and monitoring immigration, in part inherited from the colonial era, persist during postcolonial times. These domination and exploitation mechanisms directed toward immigrant workers will be fiercely denounced…

▼ The goal of this dissertation is three-fold: to mount a comparison of Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon, arguing that the two poets actually share much in common, particularly in their use of the pastoral mode; to argue that the pastoral mode offers a provocative, even radical platform for postcolonial writing and thinking; and to argue that reading Heaney and Muldoon, and Ireland in general, as postcolonial offers much for critics and scholars. This project looks particularly at Heaney’s use of gender in landscape to argue that Heaney relies on an abject pastoral mode, one which is dominated by excess fertility and dangerous maternity, to portray an Irish landscape that is both colonially scarred and potentially radically anti-colonial. These readings stretch from Heaney’s early pastoral poems to his famous sequence of bog poems and through to his much more recent eclogues, and in each instance this project seeks to bring a discussion of gender to the fore—thus making an intervention into the existing scholarship, which often overlooks or elides these concerns. The latter chapters focus on Paul Muldoon’s poems, arguing that Muldoon’s pastoral poems use the pastoral as a platform for writing about Irish cultural tropes and stereotypes. This project divides Muldoon’s pastoral poems into two groups: the first, his pastoral performances, are marked by his use of the pastoral as a setting from which to play with stock characters and commodified Irish culture in a way that both mocks and celebrates such tropes; the second, his “water poems,” use bodies of water as a form of landscape writing that enables Muldoon both to ground his identity to Northern Ireland and to take flight, embarking on transatlantic crossings from Northern Ireland to America to the Amazon and back again. In these readings of Muldoon, this project seeks to establish a reading of Muldoon that explores and celebrates his roots in the rural and the natural—a perspective that is often lost in Muldoon scholarship, which traditionally has been much more concerned with global, urban, and cosmopolitan concerns.

▼ This dissertation examines the interplay between experimental and experiential writing in postcolonial Italian novels. It focuses on the representation of the “colonial and postcolonial experience” of women writers within the “postcolonial diaspora,” a perspective that coincides with the emergence of an interstitial discursive space (semi-ethnographic, semi-fictional) in which issues of individual and collective memory are reframed from a post national hybrid identity perspective. I define postcolonial Italian literature as an experimental literary medium for self-reflexive representations of localized and contextualized knowledge: a critical knowledge that engages, in narrative form, with the history and the socio-cultural aftermath of Italian colonialism in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Libya. To illustrate this critical and dialogical style, I compare and contrast such representative novels as Erminia Dell’Oro’s L’abbandono: Una storia eritrea (1991), Luciana Capretti’s Ghibli (2004), Gabriella Ghermandi’s Regina di fiori e di perle (2007), Cristina Ali Farah’s Madre piccola (2007), and Igiaba Scego’s Oltre Babilonia (2008). The work of these writers integrates autobiographical experiences, biographical accounts, historical records, individual and collective memories, documentation of oral sources, real letters exchanged between family members, and fiction. These heterogeneous source texts make it nearly impossible to determine where fact ends and fiction begins, rendering the status of the novel in the postcolonial Italian condition highly ambiguous, as it defies specific, pre-established genre conventions. These authors create an interstitial discursive space by combining different disciplinary methodologies that blend fictional narrative techniques with semi-ethnographic frameworks to provide counter narratives and alternative approaches to representing the past. I contend that by challenging preconceived ideas of the colonial period, postcolonial Afro-Italian women writers contribute to the formation of an intellectual transnational paradigm that stresses the influences of cultural intersections, overlaps, and multiplicities implied by the different instantiations of a common postcolonial Italian condition—a perspective currently developing in the field. My aim is to show how the literary expression of such a condition is useful in understanding the complexity and specificity of any postcolonial discourse and, especially in its self-reflexive forms, as expressions of "situated knowledge."

▼ The main focus of the study was to comparatively analyse The God of Small Things (1997) by Arundhati Roy and Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie from a postcolonial ecofeminist perspective. Postcolonialism focuses on issues pertaining to power, culture, and religion in relation to humanity, whilst ecofeminism explores the links between the environment and women, connecting women to the epistemological understanding of nature. The research aimed at exploring the plight of women and the environment in a wartime postcolonial era through the literary lens. The application of postcolonialism and ecofeminism to the analysis of the texts necessitated the consideration and inclusion of themes such as; hybridity, gender trauma, subjugation, relationships and beliefs. The study is a desktop qualitative research and it employed content analysis in the interpretation and analysis of the two novels. Women were portrayed as destitute who stay in subservient conditions, at the mercy of patriarchal societies, with no voice; sex objects for the husband’s pleasures and that can be exchanged for material wealth. Nature is used as an agent of resistance in The God of Small Things (1997). For instance, Ammu uses the Meenachal River as an escape from patriarchal entrapment and psychological imprisonment where she goes to find peace and listen to her transistor. In Half of a Yellow Sun, Kainene profits from the civil war in the beginning, later becoming conscientious to the needs of the less fortunate and women are subjugated by both white and black male counterparts through exploitation by both the mercenaries and Biafra soldiers. Contrariwise, Roy and Adichie depict women as perceptive and sensible thinkers. In The God of Small Things, Ammu is protective of her naïve children because she is well aware of the evils of this world, most of which she herself has been a victim of. The study found that by reading The God of Small Things (1997) and Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) as contemporaries, there can be testament to some wealthy accounts as the novels provide a coherent shape of the realistic operations of postcolonial ecofeminism in totality. The thrust of this study is to draw interconnections between men’s domination of nature and the subjugation and dominance of women as depicted in the selected creative works. The study concluded that future studies need to consider the use of ecofeminism as a theory in the analysis of novels; merging ecofeminism with other theories in other genres such as poetry, drama and genocidal literature in the analysis of different literary works.

▼ The Philippines’ double-colonization at the hands of Spain (1565-1898) then America (1898-1946) has produced a distinctive type of postcolonial writing in English. Despite this unique postcolonial situation, there is a lack of substantial and sustained critical work assessing Philippine literature in postcolonial studies. In order to address this neglect, this thesis shows how a culturally specific formalist approach provides new opportunities to interrogate the distinctive postcolonial themes and issues raised in six Filipino novels: Bienvenido Santos' You Lovely People (1955), N.V.M. Gonzalez's The Bamboo Dancers (1960), N.V.M. Gonzalez's A Season of Grace (1956), Nick Joaquin's The Woman Who Had Two Navels (1961), Kerima Polotan's The Hand of the Enemy (1962), and Edith Tiempo's His Native Coast (1979).The period in which these novels were published (between the 1950s and the 1970s) has usually been considered by scholars such as Soledad Reyes (1994) and Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo (2008) as the turning point of Philippine writing in English because of the authors’ innovative use of narrative techniques. However, despite all these observations, there is a lack of substantial and sustained critical work assessing the implications of these technical strategies, specifically in postcolonial studies. This thesis argues that the thematic concerns of the novels need to be related more productively to their formal innovations. It suggests that a contextual examination of the various narrative strategies and techniques deployed in the novels can help shed light on the authors’ respective projects of engaging with the consequences of both the American-endorsed narrative of Philippine modernity and development and the nationalists’ quest for the authentic Filipino. This thesis, thus, demonstrates the relationship between narrative structure and the modes of interrogation (or resistance, such as the case of Joaquin's novel) of postcolonial issues in the Filipino novels in English.

▼ This dissertation examines the lasting consequences of the anticolonial, antislavery discourses of the Haitian Revolution on the way in which postcolonial Haitians understood the narrative structure of their national history from Independence (1804) to the end of the American Occupation of Haiti (1934). In this study Haitian intuitions of historical time are apprehended through an analysis of nineteenth and early twentieth century Haitian literary and historical works. These texts are scrutinized with respect to (a) formal narrative features such as truncation, ellipsis, elision, prolepsis and analepsis which reveal an implicit understanding of the disposition of the metahistorical categories of "past," "present," and "future" and (b) the analysis of the explicit reflections on history provided by narrators or authors. This dissertation argues, primarily, that the event of the "Haitian Revolution" (17911804) was fundamental to Haitian understandings of the emplotment of the whole of Haitian history. Chronologically "past" and "future" events were transformed so that they would be legible as analogical "recurrences" of the revolutionary past; when such manipulations proved difficult, the recent past was sometimes elided altogether. This was possible, in part, because Haitian postcolonialism was imagined as immanently precarious and thus remained dependent on revolutionary discourses of anticolonialism and radical antislavery. Also important was the analeptic, explicitly anticolonial fantasy of historical erasure in "restoring" the Amerindian name of "Haiti" to what had been the French colony of "Saint-Domingue." The national history thus came to be underwritten by an impossible anachronistic return to the time of the fifteenth century Amerindians at the moment of Independence. This dissertation alleges that Haitian historical time depended upon, and remained largely bound by, this significant anticolonial contradiction. Drawing upon this metahistorical analysis, I ultimately argue both that Haitians' experiences of time in this period are not compatible with "modernity" as it is understood by conceptual historiography, and that the accepted accounts of the historical development of nationalism cannot explain the rise of this sentiment in Haiti.

Research Doctorate - PhD Human Geography

This thesis is a call for greater reflexivity on the role of emotions in development. It argues that emotions are integral in both reproductions of Orientalisms and in producing resistances to Orientalisms. The framework for this research is a combination of Postcolonial Studies and Emotional Geographies, and a case study of HIV and AIDS development work in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The methods used are several forms of critical discourse analysis applied to: mainstream development research; development policy (at several levels); in-country experience; and the middle ground between policy and policy enactment. The data sources were: 30 mainstream HIV and AIDS development research articles; 4 policy documents; 20 in depth interviews; and a free writing journal documenting 3 months of participant observations in a PNG HIV and AIDS development organisation. Results reveal evidence of emotions, of attempts to avoid unpleasant emotions, and of attempts to elicit emotions in others in all aspects of the development process. In the case of PNG HIV and AIDS Development work, it seems that emotions, or the attempts to influence emotions, have the potential to promote or resist Orientalisms. Of particular note are feelings of uncertainty, confusion and disorientation. If one is reflexive, these emotions may be powerful in generating resistance to Orientalisms, but without reflexivity they can reproduce them in powerful ways. I conclude this thesis by claiming that a reflexive understanding of the roles of emotions can uncover covert and persistent forms of Orientalisms in development work. Emotional reflexivity can also help find new ways of thinking and being that can move the ‘West’ beyond Orientalisms. In particular, I call for more reflexive ways of embracing and accepting the uncertainty that in inherent in the development process.

▼ The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of the intersection of race, gender and social class on women leaders’ work experience and career progression in order to come up with strategies for gender transformation at leadership level in corporate South Africa. The problem statement of this research study concerns the indication in the annual report of the Commission for Employment Equity (Department of Labour 2012) that there is under-representation of women, especially African and Coloured women, at top management level relative to the economically active population. The Women Empowerment and Gender Equality Bill was published in the Government Gazette No. 37005 of 6 November 2013. This Bill aims to enforce compliance with the stipulated minimum representation of women at senior levels in both the private and public sectors. This study, with its objective of reaching an understanding of the impact of the intersection of race, gender and social class on women’s career progression, is therefore timeous. Getting the perspective of woman CEOs across race and class on how to transform gender at leadership level could add an important voice to transformation and could be of benefit to decision makers in business and in government. Based on this problem statement the following research questions were formulated: - To what extent does the intersection of race, social class and gender impact on women CEOs’ experience in their work roles and career progression? - How might an understanding of women leaders’ experiences in their roles assist with strategies to transform gender at leadership level in corporate South Africa? Qualitative research methodology was chosen as the appropriate methodology and grounded theory was employed. Purposive, snowball and theoretical sampling methods were used to identify fourteen participants (13 CEOs and one chairman).The life story method was employed for in-depth semi-structured interviews from which rich descriptive data was collected and which was analysed using grounded theory. Findings confirmed that the intersection of race, gender, age and class does have an impact on women’s career progression and their life experiences. The dominant social identity was race for blacks and gender whites; class and age were the overlay. In terms of strategies for gender transformation, first-order constructs from the participants were related to abstract second-order constructs from the literature, which led to the formulation of the WHEEL Theoretical Model. The theoretical model is an integration of different elements required for the formulation of strategies for gender transformation at leadership level. The different elements were women themselves; domestic and family support; the organisation; society and government. Despite some limitations that were encountered, the aim of the study was achieved by making a contribution not only to the development of theory related to strategies for gender transformation at leadership level, which other scholars can build from, but also to the… Advisors/Committee Members: Mnguni, Peliwe (advisor).

▼ This thesis aims at analysing comparatively the literary production of three African female authors – the Cape Verdean Dina Salústio (1941), the Mozambican Paulina Chiziane (1955) and the Angolan Rosária da Silva (1959) – so as to observe the authors’ cultural construction of their complex postcolonial nations from a female-focalized point of view and their representation of the women of these nations interacting with the transcultural contexts of each analysed country. Their works demonstrate the importance of thinking nationalism and national identity through gender, simultaneously highlighting the potential of situated gender analysis for the understanding and contestation of the power networks that consolidate the supremacy of hegemonic discourses. Hence, the main argument that this thesis develops in three distinct chapters (each one devoted to the literary production of each author) and in the light of a particular theoretical framework is that the building of the post-independence nations under analysis is structured through gender differentiation. The point of departure for this project is the work developed by specific postcolonial theorists who analyse and deconstruct hegemonic discourses of identity. Hence, Benedict Anderson’s understanding of the nation as an “imagined political community” (1991) is explored and widened by Homi Bhabha’s theorization of the dynamics of national discourse (1990), whose instability comes from the friction between its pedagogical and performative dimensions. This emphasis on empowering marginality takes us to Edward Said’s reflections on exile (2001). For Said, the condition of exile represents an irrecoverable displacement of the human being as regards her/his own homeland, a state which she/he will permanently try to revoke. Andrea O’Reilly Herrera (2001) uses the term insílio to emphasise the psychological and emotional dimensions of this state, which precedes the actual physical exile. Reflections on the active involvement of the displaced in the renegotiation of the nation are also at the core of Mary Louise Pratt’s theorization of contact zones, autoethnography and transculturation (1991). The emphasis on the disruptive potential of autoethnography is recaptured in Graham Huggan’s study of the Post-Colonial Exotic (2001), focusing specifically on the potential of what he called “celebratory autoethnography”. Nonetheless, considering that these approaches are largely gender blind, the study questions their premises further by incorporating postcolonial feminist theories and feminist theories from sociology. Anne McClintock (1995) and Nira Yuval-Davis’s (1997) important proposal of the analysis of nationalism through the lens of a theory of gender power gave access to multiple experiences of the nation. Amina Mama’s (2001) proposal of the analysis of individual and national identity through gender with a view to understanding and dismantling the power structures in operation adds to these strong theorizations. Considering that the three examined countries had one-party… Advisors/Committee Members: DE CASTRO ROCHA, JOAO JC, Owen, Hilary, De Castro rocha, Joao.

▼ Non-Western postgraduate students are increasingly targeted by Western universities through a variety of promotional media designed to assist in their selection of a foreign institution. This media offers institutional representations of the international postgraduate student based on a range of prescriptive, often stereotypical notions of particular cultural groups. In this thesis, I argue that although the internationalization of higher education (HE) has resulted in the embedding of intercultural elements across various sectors of the university, the discourses and images used do not offer international postgraduate students a productive space to convey their identities as active participants of the overseas study experience. Drawing on the promotional media from one Western university, I illustrate how these students are portrayed as the passive but fortunate recipients of an international education and how the university claims its own institutional identity. With the growing demand for international education, media representations of international students and the university has become an important area of study. To date, the study of HE promotional media has consisted of pure textual analyses of student prospectuses or perspective studies related to the overseas study experience of undergraduate students. Although international postgraduate students are important to university rankings and collaborative research partnerships, there has been limited investigation into the representation of this cohort and the university in HE promotional media. Additionally, the perspectives of these students on their representation and the overseas study experience remain unexplored. Drawing on the work of postcolonial theorists such as Said, Spivak and Bhabha, I critically examine how international postgraduate students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds are represented in HE promotional media and the creative ways in which they reinvent themselves. The analysis of participant narratives reveals that their expectations of the overseas study experience are influenced by ideas of institutional prestige, English Language mastery, staff expertise, creative advertising, quality education and warm human relationships. However, the reality of their overseas study experience is often tempered with isolation and alienation leading to a deeper reflection of their burgeoning identities as global scholars. This inner journey is conveyed through a series of photographs which highlight themes of the restorative powers of Nature, mobility in a new city, cultural life, finding an identity, creating a community, coping with loneliness and embracing freedom. To locate patterns within the discourses and images related to international postgraduate students and the university in a selection of HE promotional media, I refer to the work of critical discourse theorists such as Fairclough and Van Djik. The analysis of university web pages reveals that the university claims its institutional identity through an alignment with its… Advisors/Committee Members: Pugsley, Peter C.

▼ This thesis is a history of economic ideas about the rise and fall of India’s Swatantra Party between 1940 and 1970. Reframing the history of economic thought around politicians and publicists from landed and mercantile communities in southern and western parts of the country, it presents an alternative history of the political Right in India. Chapter One provides an overview of the macroeconomic changes unleashed by wartime state expansion and decolonisation. It identifies how India’s socialist planning strategy resulted in the formation of new economic interests and challenges by the Second Five-Year Plan Period (1956-61) that drove the emergence of the Swatantra Party. Chapter Two provides an alternative intellectual genealogy of the Right through a careful study of the ideas, networks, and genres of communication adopted by a small Indian libertarian movement in Bombay. It demonstrates how demands for ‘free economy’ and ‘English as the lingua franca of India’ emerged from a web of connected thinkers operating periodicals and associations in urban India. Chapter Three shows how the ageing Tamil statesman C. Rajagopalachari took up this demand and brought it to the centre of his project of theorising a conservative opposition party for India. He cast ‘free economy’ as a negative vision of freedom from the ‘permit-and-licence raj,’ an oligarchic coalition of big business, bureaucrats, and the dominant Congress Party. Chapter Four by contrast reconstructs the multiple positive visions of ‘free economy’ put forth by three key leaders of the Swatantra Party. It shows how the scales of community, region, and world informed the alternative political economies they conceived. Chapter Five shows how these ideas of ‘free economy’ were reworked and to construct a politics for the ‘middle class.’ This final chapter unpacks both strategies of communication and reception to understand the extent and limitations of ‘free economy’ in practice. The wider aim of this dissertation is to revise the history of the Right in India and broaden the understanding of the Nehruvian era.

▼ Following post-1945 decolonization, many anticolonial figures became disenchanted, for they witnessed not the birth of social revolution, but the mere transfer of power from corrupt white elites to corrupt native elites. Soon after, many postcolonial writers jettisoned the political sincerity of social realism for satire—a less naïve, more pessimistic literary genre and approach to social critique. Satires about the postcolonial condition employ a cynical idiom even as they often take political cynicism as their chief object of derision. This dissertation is among the first literary studies to discuss the use of satire in postcolonial writing, exploring how and why some major Anglophone global writers from decolonization onward use the genre to critique political cynicisms affecting the developing world. It does so by weaving together seemingly disparate novels from the 1960s until today, including Chinua Achebe’s sendup of failed idealism in Africa, Salman Rushdie’s and Hanif Kureishi’s caricatures of Margaret Thatcher’s enterprise culture, and Aravind Adiga’s and Mohsin Hamid’s parodies of self-help narratives in South Asia. Satire is an effective form of social critique for these authors because it is equal opportunity, avoiding simplistic approaches to power and oppression in the postcolonial era. Satire often blames everyone—including itself—by insisting on irony, hypocrisy, and interdependence as existential conditions. Postcolonial satires ridicule victims and victimizers alike, exchanging the politics of blame for messiness, association, and implication. The satires examined here emphasize that we are all, to different degrees, mutually implicated subjects, especially in the era of global capitalism. This dissertation thus contests critics who argue that the subgenre engages in victim blaming, indulges in colonial-era stereotypes about the developing world, and supports political nihilism. Postcolonial satirists cut a path between the optimism expected of them and the fatalism they are accused of by offering a third path between that stifling dichotomy: a mutually implicating, humorous form of social critique that nuances neocolonial forms of power—including cynicism itself.

▼ Topographies of Time: The Spatiohistorical Imagination in Caribbean Narrative addresses the inscription of the concepts of space and time in historical narratives of the francophone Caribbean. Spatiotemporal thought plays a fundamental role in the politics, aesthetics, and epistemological premises of Caribbean letters and manifests in the latent tension between universality and particularity, concepts that motivate and orient this literature from before the rise of Negritude in the 1930s up to the present day. Close attention to this conceptual history demonstrates that the dominant understanding of Antillean literary history in the twentieth century, which can be summarized as a shift from the anticolonial concept of Negritude to that of the postcolonial concept of créolité, obfuscates a more intricate and dynamic history. Part one, “The Caribbean Stage of Universal History,” examines the historical narratives of two Caribbean historians, C. L. R. James and Léonard Sainville. These authors work within a model of universal history to position the Caribbean as the central stage on which a globalizing modernity develops. In part two, “Emplacing History: from the Discontinuities of Time to the Poetics of Place,” I consider two novels by Édouard Glissant and Vincent Placoly that exemplify the transition, in the 1960s through the 1990s, towards a theoretical and narratological engagement with the concept of particularity. They turn away from the universalizing rhetoric of Pan-Africanism and look toward the geographic and cultural specificity of their native Martinique. The final part, “Antilleans Abroad: The Caribbean Author in a Postcolonial World,” offers a reading of two Haitian authors, Edwidge Danticat and Dany Laferrière. In addition to negotiating the perils and problematics of migration itself, Laferrière and Danticat must contend with the expectations of the transnational and postcolonial literary marketplace, one which exerts specific pressures on the writers it encompasses. This focus on individual experience (including that of the transnational author) results in a return to the linear narratival forms of the first phase of universality. This dissertation challenges the boundaries between theoretical and historicist approaches to literature and proposes an alternative to the common dualistic framework in francophone studies between the colonial and postcolonial.

▼ The Indian labor diaspora that settled in Malaya, now known as Malaysia, was a diaspora that was used to further colonial ambitions. Large scale agricultural projects required a workforce that Malaya did not have. South Indian peasants from the untouchable Madrasi caste were taken to Malaya, initially, as indentured servants. When indenture was abolished, they were engaged as contract workers. Inferiority and backwardness were common colonial perceptions that were held against them. These laborers were exploited by the British as they had no bargaining power or the ability to demand more than a meager wage. World War II redefined the way these laborers started to view the British. Having suffered defeat in the hands of the Japanese, the colonial power retreated meekly. This was a significant development as it removed the veil of British dominance in the eyes of a formerly docile people. When the British returned to Malaya after the war, it was a more defiant Indian labor community who greeted them. These wanted more concessions. They wanted citizenship, better wages and living conditions. They wanted a future that did not retain them on the rubber estates but one where they could finally shed their subaltern roots and achieve upward mobility. This new defiance was met with antagonism by the colonial power whose main concern was to get the lucrative but stalled rubber industry up and running again. The destitution and impoverishment suffered by the Indians during the war was ignored as they were rounded up like cattle to be put to work again on the estates. When their demands were not met, Indian laborers joined forces with the heavily Communist influenced Chinese migrant community to go on strikes, the strongest weapon they had at their disposal. The creation of the All Malayan Rubber Workers' Council, a predominantly Indian trade union, is essential in showing how Indian labor became a threat to the British that they eventually had to retaliate with draconian military suppression through the imposition of the Emergency in 1948. Archival material from the Malaysian National Archives, The National Archives of the United Kingdom, the Labor History and Archive Study Center at the People's History Museum in the United Kingdom, and the Hull History Center in the United Kingdom, were analyzed to present an alternate narrative as opposed to the colonial narrative, in recognizing and attributing a modern spirit and agency amongst this formerly docile labor diaspora. This work presents the events of 1945-1948 as a time when Indians rejected the colonial perception of them as an inferior people, and challenged the colonial power. However, their efforts were subverted by the British and by doing so, the British ensured the maintenance of a labor diaspora that would continue to be exploited by those who ruled over them.

▼ Learning Chinese as a foreign language is becoming popular in the United States with the growing Chinese economy and influence. In this qualitative case study I have followed a native Chinese teacher who took up citizenship in the United States, Dr. Lin, and the Mandarin Chinese language program she created in a Midwestern elementary school. Three research questions guided the investigation: (1) How were Dr. Lin’s identities constructed, re-formed and evolve, and how did the power structures within the school influence her identities? (2) How did Dr. Lin’s identity influence her teaching and shape her students’ perceptions of Chinese language learning? (3) How did Dr. Lin engage student thinking and facilitate student understanding of Chinese text, expression, and narrative in the activities she used in the classroom, and what computer and internet resources were used in the classroom and at children’s homes after school? Using case study and ethnography methodologies to structure this study and the theoretical frameworks of identity, sociocultural, and post-colonial theory and cultural imperialism to analyze the data, I found Dr. Lin had multiple identities in the environment she worked and lived in with many existing simultaneously. Dr. Lin’s teacher identity was influenced by her Chinese heritage as well as her teaching experiences at Shady Prairie Elementary School. Dr. Lin experienced various social, cultural and other challenges in working with students, faculty, staff and parents. Some frustrations stemmed from her lack of knowledge of the school’s, the student’s, and the community’s cultures before attempting to design a language program for the school. The focus of the Mandarin Chinese curriculum was placed on cultural awareness of China, while parents expectations demanded higher achievement in reading and writing the language. The tacit cultural knowledge Dr. Lin represented through her curriculum was engaged and reproduced by the students. Dr. Lin’s application of the computer and internet resources was limited and she did not have much support at school or in the district. The social and cultural challenges that Dr. Lin experienced impacted her personal and professional identities and created certain power dynamics at Shady Prairie Elementary School. Lacking familiarity with the school culture and socialization habits with faculty and administrators, Dr. Lin occupied a “colonized” position with school administrators as “colonizers.” Flipped over, her strong teacher-centered teaching style made her a colonizer of the students, reluctantly accepted by them, the colonized. In the multi-layers of colonization, Dr. Lin was becoming acculturated through mimicking the behavior and language of her American colleagues and friends at work and in life. She continued to become “the hybrid,” with mixed characteristics shaped by multiple social and cultural influences.
