  • Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements Between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900
    Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Uta G. Poiger, Chair Vicente L. Rafael Lynn Thomas Program Authorized to Offer Degree: History ©Copyright 2012 Nathaniel Parker Weston University of Washington Abstract Scientific Authority, Nationalism, and Colonial Entanglements between Germany, Spain, and the Philippines, 1850 to 1900 Nathaniel Parker Weston Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Uta G. Poiger This dissertation analyzes the impact of German anthropology and natural history on colonialism and nationalism in Germany, Spain, the Philippines, and the United States during the second half of the nineteenth-century. In their scientific tracts, German authors rehearsed the construction of racial categories among colonized peoples in the years prior to the acquisition of formal colonies in Imperial Germany and portrayed their writings about Filipinos as superior to all that had been previously produced. Spanish writers subsequently translated several German studies to promote continued economic exploitation of the Philippines and uphold notions of Spaniards’ racial supremacy over Filipinos. However, Filipino authors also employed the translations, first to demand colonial reform and to examine civilizations in the Philippines before and after the arrival of the Spanish, and later to formulate nationalist arguments. By the 1880s, the writings of Filipino intellectuals found an audience in newly established German scientific associations, such as the German Society for Anthropology, Ethnology, and Prehistory, and German-language periodicals dealing with anthropology, ethnology, geography, and folklore.

  • History of Fredonia ND Diamond Jubilee 1904-1979
    Transcribed by Missionary Allen E. Konrad, P.O. Box 2544, New Germany 3620, South Africa. E-mail address: <[email protected]> [August, 2002] [This book contains both the Golden Jubilee and the Diamond Jubilee Histories under one cover.] FREDONIA, NORTH DAKOTA 1904 TO 1979 Forward and Acknowledgement Greetings. On this special day of Fredonia's 75th birthday, the people of this community join in reflecting on the courage it took for those who declared before kings and queens, governments and sovereignties their dedication to find a new way of life, to be free from persecution and the yoke of oppression which was laid upon them and their families for the benefit of the governments they were persuaded to serve. We reflect on the fortitude and courage it took to leave friends and relatives and to pioneer the wide-open spaces of the unbroken Dakota prairies. We pay homage to those who have built this region up to the place it now holds in history. To the present generation we convey our pride in our community's accomplishments and hope that the aspirations of our forefathers has given them a heritage and desire to build new horizons with the same ambition that the pioneers demonstrated. This book is the story of Fredonia and its community. Its growth and development from the time of its origin to its present state in 1979 are told here. It relates the arrival of the early settlers who were mostly of European ancestry of various ethnic backgrounds. In spite of suffering and untold hardship, disaster and reversals, they stayed, remaining because they had determination, and dedication to a cause; the establishment of new homes in a new land.

  • Soviet Forces Would Be Better Pressed to Defend a Live City Than a Deserted One
    STALINGRAD POCKET THE ADVANCE TO STALINGRAD AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SIXTH ARMY II FOREWORD I first read about the battle of Stalingrad in a Reader's Digest edition when I was maybe 16. Excerpts from the book, Last Letters from Stalingrad, appeared at various parts of the narrative, exemplifying the best human reaction to courage, duty, betrayal and oblivion. But my interest waned over time and became sporadic. It returned after watching Enemy at the Gates (1998) despite the movie's sappy and contrived plot, and 1993's Stalingrad, an emasculating product of the German movie industry. The story is simple enough: crushing defeat for one side and grudging victory for the other. But this general impression misses the finer picture. The real battle contained such a tale of endeavor and inevitability that it makes celluloid grandiosity redundant in the face of genuine human ordeal. I first started on this monograph in 2004, just before going off to college. The bulk of the manuscript was written then, complete with three or four maps, all of them in my opinion, detailed works of art — but maybe that is an exaggeration. Unfortunately, after I left, a hard drive crash wiped out all the information, leaving me with a draft version of the manuscript. This document represents the completion of what I had begun all those years ago. I am not entirely satisfied with my replacement maps but the bright spot is that I have had the benefit of new information and previously untapped sources. My intention is that the reading of this material leave you with the same visceral impact that I felt after reading about the battle all those years ago.

Abstract This dissertation presents the background and details of Wilhelm Reich’s bioelectrical experiments on sexuality and anxiety that took place following his immigration to Oslo in 1934. The experiments were meant to test Reich’s concept of “orgastic potency,” which holds that the orgasm is the most fundamental expression of organic life, represents the antithesis of anxiety, and is bioelectrical in nature. Using an oscillograph, Reich measured the psychogalvanic skin response in volunteer test subjects.

  • Stalingrad' Is Based on the Historic Battle Which Took Place in 1942-43
    \ INTRODUCTION The film 'Stalingrad' is based on the historic battle which took place in 1942-43. The story of the battle is seen through the eyes of a fictional group of German soldiers who take pan in the battle. The film is thus "historical". But what are the implications for an historian of such 'historical' films? Before seeing the film, it is worth considering the following five questions which ask you to think about the relationship between feature films and history. · What should a good historian try to do when writing about history? · What should a good feature film director try to do in his/her film? · What problems do you think face a film director when making an historical film? · How can film assist a student exploring an historical period? · Do you think that it is possible to make a 'good' historical film that would appeal to audiences and also satisfy historians? When you watch the film 'Stalingrad' it is worth bearing in mind the answers that you have given to the five questions above. As an historian, how useful is the evidence given in the film? And as a member of an audience for a feature film, how effective is the film as 'entertainment'? Lastly, how easily do history and entertainment sit together? If you are using this film as part of your history course then you will need to consider not only what it shows you about the events but also why certain incidents are shown and others are not. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO 'STALINGRAD' Listed below are what could be called the main events of the battle of Stalingrad.

  • PACE NSC 2012 Round 20: Finals 2 Tossups
    PACE NSC 2012 Round 20: Finals 2 Tossups 1. This architect used four medieval-style towers and a moat for his Neo-Gothic House of the Botines. He extensively used parabolic arches for one of his early works, a school for nuns. This man created a wrought-iron gate in the form of a dragon for a country estate containing the Baldiro Tower. One of his best known buildings has been dubbed “The Stone Quarry” and has a stone facade often compared to waves on the sea. One of this man’s works contains components like the (*) Passion and Nativity facades and was designed to contain eighteen high-rising spires. Many of this architect’s works were commissioned by Eusebi Guell. He designed the Casa Mila and a still-unfinished church in Barcelona. For 10 points, name this Catalan architect of La Sagrada Familia. ANSWER: Antoni Gaudi i Cornet <Bentley> 2. One poem by this man describes how "the first cold showers" cause even a certain figure to want a "coat of straw". In another work, he described "months and days" as "travelers of eternity" and wrote, "even a thatched hut may change with a new owner into a doll's house". The first book by this author of The Monkey's Raincoat is a compilation of contest poetry and commentary called (*) The Seashell Game. His most famous long work depicted his attempt to visit every site mentioned in the poetry of Saigyo. In various poems he lamented the miscanthus growing near his banana tree and described the splash of water produced by a frog jumping into a pond.
