    Dames in New Zealand: Gender, Representation and the Royal Honours System, 1917-2000 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History in the University of Canterbury by Karen Fox University of Canterbury 2005 Contents Abstract List of Figures ii Abbreviations iii Acknowledgements v Introduction 1 Chapter One: 28 An elite male institution: reproducing British honours in New Zealand Chapter Two: 58 In her own right: feminism, ideas of femininity and titles for women Chapter Three: 89 The work of dames and knights: exceptional women and traditional images of the feminine Chapter Four: 119 The work of dames and knights: traditional patterns in honours and non­ traditional work for women Conclusion 148 Appendix One: 166 Honours awarded in New Zealand, 1917-2000 Appendix Two: 174 Database of titular honours, 1917-2000 Bibliography 210 19 MAY Z005 Abstract The New Zealand royal honours system, as a colonial reproduction of an elite British system with a white male norm, has been largely overlooked in all fields of scholarship. Yet, as a state expression of what is valued in society, honours provide a window into shifts in society. This study of dames and knights is undertaken in the context of the changes in the lives of New Zealand women in the twentieth century. Situated in a changing and shifting environment, the honours system has itself changed, influenced by the ebb and flow of the feminist movement, the decline of imperial and aristocratic forces, and New Zealand's evolving independence and identity. At the same time, the system has been in some respects static, slow to respond to charges of being an imperial anachronism, and, despite some change in what areas of service titles were granted for, remaining a gendered space focused on the traditionally male-dominated fields of politics, law and commerce.

  • Luca Massaglia Concert Organist (Italy)
    Актуальні питання мистецької освіти та виховання, 2013, Випуск 1 (1) УДК 37.02+786.2(44)«17|18» Luca Massaglia concert organist (Italy) THE ORGAN IN FRANCE AFTER THE REVOLUTION: THE GENESIS OF A LEGENDARY ORGAN SCHOOL The organ was one of the victims of the French Revolution. The music of the great French classical authors and the instruments built by François-Henri Clicquot were a summit in the history of the organ in France, but with the Revolution the organ was seen as anti-bourgeois, inextricably linked to the two great enemies of ordinary people: the Church and the aristocracy. Many organs were destroyed or abandoned because of the mere fact of being accommodated in churches, while those who were spared it was thanks to the work of organists who – when the churches were transformed into halls for the popular republican festivities – fit themselves to meet the request from the public of simple music, accessible to everyone: dances and variations on the most famous revolutionary marches, pieces in operistic style (opera was the most popular music genre at the time). The organ, previously religious, liturgical, polyphonic and harmonic, became melodic, secular, orchestral and descriptive. Key words: the organ, French classical authors, the Revolution, organ school, organists. Problem definition. Life and experience of the representatives of the legendary French organ school have always drawn attention of professional performers, teachers and music theorists. Their contemporaries’ reminiscences and modern research data can be a valuable source of information for those who is willing to analyze and systemize the outstanding organists’ creative works and teaching practices.
