  • GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, and the RECONSTRUCTION of CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented In
    NEW CITIZENS: GERMAN IMMIGRANTS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP, 1865-1877 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alison Clark Efford, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2008 Doctoral Examination Committee: Professor John L. Brooke, Adviser Approved by Professor Mitchell Snay ____________________________ Adviser Professor Michael L. Benedict Department of History Graduate Program Professor Kevin Boyle ABSTRACT This work explores how German immigrants influenced the reshaping of American citizenship following the Civil War and emancipation. It takes a new approach to old questions: How did African American men achieve citizenship rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments? Why were those rights only inconsistently protected for over a century? German Americans had a distinctive effect on the outcome of Reconstruction because they contributed a significant number of votes to the ruling Republican Party, they remained sensitive to European events, and most of all, they were acutely conscious of their own status as new American citizens. Drawing on the rich yet largely untapped supply of German-language periodicals and correspondence in Missouri, Ohio, and Washington, D.C., I recover the debate over citizenship within the German-American public sphere and evaluate its national ramifications. Partisan, religious, and class differences colored how immigrants approached African American rights. Yet for all the divisions among German Americans, their collective response to the Revolutions of 1848 and the Franco-Prussian War and German unification in 1870 and 1871 left its mark on the opportunities and disappointments of Reconstruction.

  • A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY A Partial Glossary of Spanish Geological Terms Exclusive of Most Cognates by Keith R. Long Open-File Report 91-0579 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1991 Preface In recent years, almost all countries in Latin America have adopted democratic political systems and liberal economic policies. The resulting favorable investment climate has spurred a new wave of North American investment in Latin American mineral resources and has improved cooperation between geoscience organizations on both continents. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has responded to the new situation through cooperative mineral resource investigations with a number of countries in Latin America. These activities are now being coordinated by the USGS's Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI), recently established in Tucson, Arizona. In the course of CIMRI's work, we have found a need for a compilation of Spanish geological and mining terminology that goes beyond the few Spanish-English geological dictionaries available. Even geologists who are fluent in Spanish often encounter local terminology oijerga that is unfamiliar. These terms, which have grown out of five centuries of mining tradition in Latin America, and frequently draw on native languages, usually cannot be found in standard dictionaries. There are, of course, many geological terms which can be recognized even by geologists who speak little or no Spanish.

  • Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus
    Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus by Lindsay Stephens A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography and Collaborative Program in Women and Gender Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Lindsay Stephens (2012) Rethinking the Political: Art, Work and the Body in the Contemporary Circus Lindsay Stephens Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography and Collaborative Program in Women and Gender Studies University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This dissertation is about the circus, but it is also about how we think through a range of possibilities for individual and social change in the contemporary post- Fordist or neoliberal moment. In the last 40 years geographers, along side other scholars, have documented an increasingly close relationship between social, political, and economic aspects of life in western countries. These shifts have raised concerns over shrinking spaces of resistance and loss of counter hegemonic voices, and increased interest in transgressive or ‘outside’ spaces and bodies as sites of resistance, escape, and social change. Two contested sites that seem to offer promise for resistance, yet are simultaneously critiqued for their participation in dominant discourses, are art (or creative labour) and the body. Despite prolific literatures on these topics in geography in the last decade, links between creative labour, theories of embodiment, and the living practices of cultural workers are still far too rare. To address this I examine the intersection of theories of research, labour, art, discipline, ii embodiment and politics, understood through the daily practices of circus performers doing highly physical and embodied work.

  • The Economic Lives of Circus “Artists”: Canadian Circus Performers and the New Economy
    The Economic Lives of Circus “Artists”: Canadian Circus Performers and the New Economy Lindsay Katyana Stephens University of Toronto AbStrAct This article, based on ethnographic research with Canadian circus performers, provides an intimate look into the lives of these creative workers. It contributes to the bur - geoning literature on the creative economy by examining how ideas of “creativity” and “art” are being put to work in the lives of these performers, including the centrality of affective ex - periences like freedom and satisfaction, as well as the significance of particular relations of production in defining “art.” It reveals the way ideas of creativity and art can glamorize and promote precarity and simultaneously demarcate spheres of unalienated work. These findings suggest that workers, policymakers, and scholars could benefit from more conscientious use of these terms if we want to understand their impact or mobilize them for particular political purposes. KeywordS Creative economy; Art; Labour; Ethnography; Neoliberalisms rÉSUMÉ Cet article se fonde sur une ethnographie des gens du cirque pour jeter un regard intime sur la vie de ces travailleurs créatifs. Il contribue à la littérature grandissante sur l’économie créative en examinant la manière dont ces gens appliquent des idées comme « créativité » et « art » dans leurs vies et en rendant compte de la centralité de leurs expériences affectives de la liberté et de la satisfaction entre autres et de l’importance de rapports de production spécifiques dans la définition de l’art. Cet article révèle la façon dont certaines conceptions de la créativité et de l’art promeuvent la précarité en même temps qu’elles délimitent des aires de travail non aliéné.

Plummer Submitted to the Department of Architecture in January 1975 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for tne degree of Master of Architecture. An exploration of the language of environmental light; botni its associative meanings and built generation. The intention is to map out a constructive framework for tne numane use of natural light in buildings and in the public urban environment; to examine the human dimensions of light as it exists and how it could exist. The associational bases for making built-light decisions are explored along with their historical precedents, within some rather distinct families of light experience. These are accompanied by visual illustrations of some design applications. These associational bases form the framework for an architectural reorientation to natural lighting and for building reciprocally with the sun. Thesis Supervisors: Maurice K. Smith Professor of Architecture Gyorgy Kepes Professor of Visual Design Jonathan Green Associate Professor of Photography The nature of the 'material' or 'medium' explored in this Thesis required that most of the visual work be recorded on color transparencies.

  • The Plight and Consequence of Conscription Dodgers, Disruptors, and Resisters
    ABSTRACT CONSCRIPTING BILLY YANK AND JOHNNY REB: THE PLIGHT AND CONSEQUENCE OF CONSCRIPTION DODGERS, DISRUPTORS, AND RESISTERS Victoria Bryant Stewart, Ph.D. Department of History Northern Illinois University, 2017 James Schmidt, Director This dissertation investigates the struggles between states and the federal governments over the proper method to satisfy the military service needs of the nation during the American Civil War, while assessing the violence that resulted from these policies. Historians have failed to address the transformation of the militia system and the introduction of conscription as a process. The United States of America and Confederate States of America created a federally controlled military system, which instituted compulsory service through federally controlled systems. Resistance continued despite changes within these systems. Resistance arose from defiance to these systems because of the inequity, for inequality privileged some men at the expense of others. The elimination of deferments sought to equalize this system by making it more expansive; however, resistance continued. Furthermore, these systems represented an abridgement of personal liberty. Both governments were faced with the realities of dwindling troop totals. Both governments needed to decide how to supplement these totals. The Confederacy passed further legislation to entice men to enlist, which increased the monetary amount of the bounties, allowed men to select their companies, and increased the available furlough days. Those already enlisted could obtain the benefits of this law after the completion of their twelve-month terms and re-enlistment for a three-year term under this new law. This law was confusing and misunderstood while it revamped the structure of the military to make the accommodations as per the law.
