  • Ecuador and Liberato

    Ecuador and Liberato

    524 The Emperor countries - a situation which in many endured until the last third or so of the twentieth century, effectively frustrating their political evolution. In the United States it was from the outset the middle classes who seized power and vigorously pursued their agenda of economic develop­ ment and commercial expansion. The American Revolution was truly a revolutionary movement, while the Latin American wars of independ­ ence were largely aristocratic assertions of self-interest against the mother country. The caudillos and the demagogues pursued their own Chronology interests, sometimes brutally, sometimes in an enlightened way, power alternating between the two all too often, and both based on the cult of personality. As economic growth and the expansion of the middle class have at last occurred in the course of the last third of the twentieth Birth of Francisco de Miranda in Caracas century, it has become possible to suggest that the era of extremes has 1750 1759 Accession of Charles III of Spain , passed.

    Iceland: an Exhibit in Special Collections

    Iceland: An Exhibit in Special Collections Iceland: An Exhibit in Special Collections July 10 through October 2017 With the Libraries’ acquisition of Chester Thordarson’s collection in the late 1940s came many titles in Icelandic and about Iceland. Guest exhibit curators Peter Gorman and Todd Michelson-Ambelang have drawn on the Thordarson Collection, as well as other holdings of Special Collections, Memorial Library, Mills Music Library, and the Wisconsin Historical Society, to illustrate Iceland’s natural history, folklore, literature, print culture, and religion. From 16th-century Icelandic Bibles to a recent “intimate portrait of Icelandic ice” by photographer Ian Van Coller, the exhibit affords a glimpse into Iceland’s stark landscape and rich culture and – we hope – encourages viewers to explore further the Libraries’ strong holdings about the land of fire and ice. Department of Special Collections 976 Memorial Library University of Wisconsin–Madison 728 State Street Madison, WI 57306 https://www.library.wisc.edu/specialcollections/ 1 Iceland: An Exhibit in Special Collections ATLANTIC PUFFINS As highlighted in the online Iceland Magazine, “The Atlantic Puffin, also known as the Common Puffin, is a species of sea-bird in the auk family that breeds in and around Iceland.” Its name in Icelandic is Lundi; the scientific name is Fratercula arctica. Although more than half of the world’s population of puffins live in Iceland, they are abundant from Newfoundland to Ireland and Scotland; the Maine ocean islands provide nesting sites for Atlantic puffins in the United States. One of our colleagues in Central Technical Services and Special Collections, Cindy Lundey (!) has adopted a 14- year-old puffin, Penelope by name, through Audubon Project Puffin in Maine.
  • Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality

    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality

    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia 2008 Karen Peta Hall Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Discipline of English and Cultural Studies School of Social and Cultural Studies ii Abstract Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction. In examining the implicit and explicit aspects of temporality and genre, this thesis works through close readings of exemplar texts as well as historicist, structural and theoretically informed readings. It focuses particularly on women writers, thus extending previous accounts of women’s participation in science fiction and demonstrating that gender inflects constructions of authority, genre and temporality.

    1596. — Bear Island (Beeren Eylandt — Björnöja) is discovered by Barentz who killed a white bear there. Visited in 1603 by Stephen Bennett who called it Cherk IsL after his employer Sir F. Cherie, of the Russian Company. Scoresby visited it in 1822. It was surveyed in 1898 by A. G. Nathorst’s Swedish Arctic expedition. N 1596. — On June 17, W. Barentz and the Dutch, expedition in search of a N.-E. passage, sights West Spitzbergen. He called Groeten Inwick what is now Ice fjord (Hudson’s Great indraught in 1607) a name which was given to it by Poole in 1610. Barentz thought that Spitzbergen was part of Greenland. Barentz also discovered Prince Charles Foreland which he took to be an island and which was called Black point Isle by Poole in 1610. It was in 1612 that English Whalers named it after Prince Charles, son of James VI of Scotland, who became Charles I later. In 1607-1610, following the reports made by Hudson, of the Muscovy Company, a whaling industry was established in Spitzbergen. The scientific exploration of Spitz­ bergen has been going on ever since 1773, which was the year of Captain Phipps’s British expedition in which Horatio Nelson, took part. Explored by Sir Martin 丨Cònway.in 1896. By the Prince of Monaco and Doctor W. S. Bruce in 1906. By the Scottish Spitzbergen Syndicate of Edinburgh in 1920 and by the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. 1598. ~• The Dutch admiral Jacob Cornel is van Necq, commanding the “ Mauritius” takes possession of Mauritius and pursues his voyage of Dutch colonisation to the Moluccas (Amboina) then to Te mate in 1601 with the “ Amsterdam ” and “ Utrecht ”，whilst the Hispano-Portuguese had settled at Tidor.

This guide is also available online at dcarts.dc.gov. Events listing information subject to change; contact the event’s organizer for additional information. s a Harvard-trained historian, Carter G. Woodson, like W. E. B. Du Bois before him, believed that truth could not be denied and that reason would prevail over prejudice. HisA hopes to raise awareness of African American’s contributions to civilization was realized when he and the organization he founded, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH), conceived and announced Negro History Week in 1925. The event was first celebrated during a week in February 1926 that encompassed the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. The response was overwhelming: Black history clubs sprang up; teachers demanded materials to instruct their pupils; and progressive whites, not simply white scholars and philanthropists, stepped forward to endorse the effort. By the time of Woodson’s death in 1950, Negro History Week had become a central part of African American life and substantial progress had been made in bringing more Americans to appreciate the celebration. At mid–century, mayors of cities nationwide issued proclamations noting Negro History Week.

  • Octavius V. Catto Nineteenth Century Philadelphia Black Militant: Octavius V

    Octavius V. Catto Nineteenth Century Philadelphia Black Militant: Octavius V

    OCTAVIUS V. CATTO NINETEENTH CENTURY PHILADELPHIA BLACK MILITANT: OCTAVIUS V. CATTO (1839-1871) BY HARRY C. SILCOX* ONE OF the least mentioned figures in Pennsylvania's struggle for 0 human rights during the Reconstruction Era is black teacher Octavius Valentine Catto. He was the one leader around whom Philadelphia blacks rallied and the one that the state's Radical Republicans most consulted. Possessor of a combative and aggressive nature, Catto was linked with every important black movement of the day. His assassination in the election riots of 1871 only served to enhance his popularity and make him a martyr still remembered with pride by black Philadelphians. No less a figure than W.E.B. DuBois was taken by Catto's youthfulness, militancy, and courage on behalf of black causes. To him, Catto's death was a tragedy for urban northern blacks. Despite this acclaim, few historians of the Reconstruction Era be- sides DuBois have even mentioned Catto in their writings. This oversight can be traced to a number of factors. Catto, at the time of his death, was a local figure just emerging on the national scene, thus appearing at first glance to be a rather unimportant black leader. Ignoring men like Catto, historians chose to devote most of their attention to events taking place in the south. This view of Recon- struction history tended to minimize the importance of events taking place in the north. Catto's rise to power in an urban black community of the north offers another view of blacks previously hidden by the mass of writings on Reconstruction in the south.
