At first, the settlement was conceived of as a trading post for the lucrative fur trade, but two difficul­ ties soon becam,e apparent—problems that have plagued French Canada to the present day—the difficulty of comirunication across trackless forests and m.ountainous terrain and the rigors of the Great Canadian Winter.

  • Translating Brazil: from Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010
    Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 By Krista Marie Brune A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair Professor Scott Saul Spring 2016 Abstract Translating Brazil: From Transnational Periodicals to Hemispheric Fictions, 1808-2010 by Krista Marie Brune Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Natalia Brizuela, Co-chair Professor Candace Slater, Co-chair This dissertation analyzes how travel and translation informed the construction of Brazil as modern in the 19th century, and how similar processes of transnational translation continue to shape the cultural visibility of the nation abroad in the contemporary moment. By reading journals, literary works, and cultural criticism, this study inserts Brazilian literature and culture into recent debates about translatability, world literature, and cosmopolitanism, while also underscoring the often-overlooked presence of Brazilians in the United States. The first half of the dissertation contends that Portuguese-language periodicals Correio Braziliense (London, 1808-1822), Revista Nitheroy (Paris, 1836), and O Novo Mundo (New York, 1870-1879) translated European and North American ideas of technology and education to a readership primarily in Brazil. The transnational circulation of these periodicals contributed to the self- fashioning of intellectuals who came to define the nation. To suggest parallels between Brazil and the United States in the late 19th century, the analysis of O Novo Mundo focuses on discourses of nation, modernity, and technological progress emerging in the hemispheric travels of scientists, intellectuals, and the Brazilian empire Dom Pedro II, and in the national displays at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia.

  • President "Piercers Zjxcinisters at the Court of St
    President "Piercers zJXCinisters at the Court of St. James URING the administration of Franklin Pierce, Great Britain was particularly concerned about American plans for ex- D pansion. Prior to Pierce's inauguration the London Times, the most influential English paper, lamented the end of the Whig administration and the return of the Democratic Party, whose last successful presidential candidate had been James K. Polk, the expan- sionist. The American Whig Party, not only defeated but destroyed by the election, was memorialized as one which had uniformly pro- fessed the greatest moderation and the greatest good will toward England. By their derived name and by their policy, the Whigs con- noted a less aggressively nationalistic spirit than the incoming ad- ministration of 1853. The Times warned that the government across the sea was being transferred to "untried hands."1 Apprehension about the presidency of General Pierce was based more on his party affiliation than on his personality. A London edi- torial at election time admitted that the English had not learned much about Pierce's abilities and intentions since his nomination. However, concern about such issues as the tariff and liberty of trade had lessened, for, according to The Times, Pierce was known to be favorable to reform.2 In diplomatic affairs, The Times lacked confi- dence in the American masses rather than in their chief magistrate: "American people are, no doubt, all-powerful at home but when they proceed to mix in the affairs of other countries, they must be content to recognize and obey those general laws which ought alike to control the excesses of despotism and of freedom/' Thus, on the same day that Charles Francis Adams noted in his diary that the Democratic Party was coming into office upon ultra proslavery grounds, The l Editorial, Times, Jan.

  • Experiencing Music in the North German Enlightenment
    SENSITIVITY, INSPIRATION, AND RATIONAL AESTHETICS: EXPERIENCING MUSIC IN THE NORTH GERMAN ENLIGHTENMENT Kimary E. Fick, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY University of North Texas December 2015 APPROVED: Hendrik Schulze, Major Professor Peter Mondelli, Committee Member Christoph Weber, Committee Member Paul Leenhouts, Related Field Committee Member and Director of Early Music Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies, College of Music James Scott, Dean of College of Music Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of Toulouse Graduate School Fick, Kimary E. Sensitivity, Inspiration, and Rational Aesthetics: Experiencing Music in the North German Enlightenment. Doctor of Philosophy (Musicology), December 2015, 295 pp., 2 tables, 3 figures, 19 musical examples, references, 166 titles. This dissertation examines pre-Kantian rational philosophy and the development of the discipline of aesthetics in the North German Enlightenment. With emphasis on the historical conception of the physiological and psychological experience of music, this project determines the function of music both privately and socially in the eighteenth century. As a result, I identify the era of rational aesthetics (ca.1750-1800) as a music-historical period unified by the aesthetic function and metaphysical experience of music, which inform the underlying motivation for musical styles, genres, and means of expression, leading to a more meaningful and compelling historical periodization. The philosophy of Alexander Baumgarten, Johann Georg Sulzer, and others enable definitions of the experience of beautiful objects and those concepts related to music composition, listening, and taste, and determine how rational aesthetics impacted the practice, function, and ultimately the prevailing style of music in the era.

The stories of those who raised themselves from obscure and humble origins to positions of wealth and status, whilst retaining a sufficiency of Protestant social responsibility, were widely distributed and well received amongst a people daily experiencing the personal instabilities of the market revolution.2 Two families which represented the ideal of social mobility 1 A version of this essay was first read at the conference of the British Association for American Studies, Birmingham, and April 1997.

    VVioliniolin SYLLABUS / 2013 EDITION SYLLABUS EDITION © Copyright 2013 The Frederick Harris Music Co., Limited All Rights Reserved Message from the President The Royal Conservatory of Music was founded in 1886 with the idea that a single institution could bind the people of a nation together with the common thread of shared musical experience. More than a century later, we continue to build and expand on this vision. Today, The Royal Conservatory is recognized in communities across North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Our students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than 125 years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers who have been carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal- setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfillment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary.
