  • Haunted Narratives: the Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’S Fiction
    HAUNTED NARRATIVES: THE AFTERLIFE OF GOTHIC AESTHETICS IN CONTEMPORARY TRANSATLANTIC WOMEN’S FICTION Jameela F. Dallis A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Minrose Gwin Shayne A. Legassie James Coleman María DeGuzmán Ruth Salvaggio © 2016 Jameela F. Dallis ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Jameela F. Dallis: Haunted Narratives: The Afterlife of Gothic Aesthetics in Contemporary Transatlantic Women’s Fiction (Under the direction of Minrose Gwin and Shayne A. Legassie) My dissertation examines the afterlife of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Gothic aesthetics in twentieth and twenty-first century texts by women. Through close readings and attention to aesthetics and conventions that govern the Gothic, I excavate connections across nation, race, and historical period to engage critically with Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, 1959; Angela Carter’s “The Lady of the House of Love,” 1979; Shani Mootoo’s Cereus Blooms at Night, 1996; and Toni Morrison’s Love, 2003. These authors consciously employ such aesthetics to highlight and critique the power of patriarchy and imperialism, the continued exclusion of others and othered ways of knowing, loving, and being, and the consequences of oppressing, ignoring, or rebuking these peoples, realities, and systems of meaning. Such injustices bear evidence to the effects of transatlantic commerce fueled by the slave trade and the appropriation and conquering of lands and peoples that still exert a powerful oppressive force over contemporary era peoples, especially women and social minorities.

  • FLAG of MONACO - a BRIEF HISTORY Where in the World
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers FLAG OF MONACO - A BRIEF HISTORY Where In The World Trivia Apart from aspect ratio, the flag of Monaco is identical to the flag of Indonesia. Technical Specification Adopted: 1881 Proportion: 4:5 Design: A bi-colour in red and white, from top to bottom Colours: PMS: Red: 032 C CMYK: Red: 0% Cyan, 90% Magenta, 86% Yellow, 0% Black Brief History Monaco used to be a colony of the Italian city-state Genoa. A small isolated country between the mountains and the sea with one castle on the Rock of Monaco, overlooking the entire country. Francesco Grimaldi disguised himself and his men as Franciscan monks and infiltrated the castle to take control. It was not long before Genoan forces succeeded in ousting him. Later his descendents simply bought the castle and the realm from Genoa and turned it into a principality. At this point the flag of Genoa was the St. George’s flag. They allowed England, for a fee, to fly their flag so they could use their sea and ports to trade. The Monaco Coat of Arms has represented the country for as long as the Grimaldi dynasty has been in power, since the early 15th Century. Although the design has changed gradually over the years, the key elements have remained the same. The motto, 'Deo Juvante' is Latin for 'With God's Help'. This coat of arms today serves as the state flag. St George’s Flag of Genoa The Coat of Arms of Monaco The colours on the shield, red and white in a pattern known as 'lozengy argent and gules' in heraldic terms, are the national colours.

    Proc. XVII International Congress of Vexillology Copyright ©1999, Southern African Vexillological ^ssn. Peter Martinez (ed.) The Spanish navy flag chart of 1854 Emil Dreyer ABSTRACT: A coloured flag chart of the Spanish Navy dating from 1854 is presented and discussed. The history of each flag is explained, starting with the royal standard, followed by the war and commercial ensigns, the flags of the revenue and mail services, the flag to call a pilot and the flags of the Royal Maritime and Royal Philippine companies. Rank pennants are shown as well, as are the numeral triangular flags of the coast guard divisions. Also shown on the chart are the maritime province or register flags, introduced in 1845. The important influence of these register flags on the develop­ ment of Spanish civic flags and yacht club burgees is discussed. The Spanish text of the chart is entirely reproduced, followed by extracts of English translation. The illustrations for this paper appear on Plates 40~41- 1 Introduction The Hydrographic Office in Madrid published in 1854 a flag chart^ showing all the Spanish ensigns, rank flags, coast-guard pennants and maritime province flags (Fig. 1). It is the flrst and only comprehensive official Navy flag chart ever to have been published in Spain. The chart, which has a size of 50x70 cm, was printed with flags in detailed outlines and then hand coloured. The library of the Naval Museum in Madrid keeps an original of the chart, its water-colours having slightly faded with time. The chart presented here was originally uncoloured, the author having coloured it like the chart in the Naval Museum, but with opaque colour instead of water-colour, which gives it a more vivid impression.
