Attachment to life space is nurtured through bonds with place, community and region, and in western culture is exemplified by property ownership of varying spatial arrangements, functions or appearance. In Newfoundland, a land use form called the fishing room evolved from coastal common property connecting marine resource distributions with shoreline from which such resources could be most efficiently exploited. This thesis explores fishing room development from European discovery in 1497 to 1805, and details how areas of coastal land were transformed into small, enclosed properties adaptable for settlement. Fishing rooms were originally defined, managed and seasonally transferred under the British fishing admiralty system which favoured an equitable sharing of coastal land among stakeholders, and promoted stability in a generally unstable trade environment. Fishing rooms were not the product of land use systems imposed arbitrarily upon an uninhabited frontier, but developed as a practical land use strategy to provide adequate shore space for living, working and production. Extended occupation of land within these systems integrated human occupancy into distinct socio-environmental entities, invited a cultural relationship with immediate bio-physical surroundings, and promoted a singular sense of place and belonging. Fishing rooms provided a proven and legitimate land use strategy in which Newfoundland inhabitants were linked through heritage and tradition to a landscape perched physically and culturally between land and sea. 11 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to acknowledge the kind efforts and consideration by so many thoughtful and generous people. Special thanks to my wonderful parents, Lewis and June Sturge, who have helped me forge a strong personal connection with my home province.

  • Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640
    EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY: LAW AND AUTHORITY IN THE MAKING OF THE OVERSEAS BRITISH EMPIRE, 1576-1640 By KENNETH RICHARD MACMILLAN, M.A. A Thesis . Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by Kenneth Richard MacMillan, December 2001 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2001) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640 AUTHOR: Kenneth Richard MacMillan, B.A. (Hons) (Nipissing University) M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Professor J.D. Alsop NUMBER OF PAGES: xi, 332 11 ABSTRACT .~. ~ This thesis contributes to the body of literature that investigates the making of the British empire, circa 1576-1640. It argues that the crown was fundamentally involved in the establishment of sovereignty in overseas territories because of the contemporary concepts of empire, sovereignty, the royal prerogative, and intemationallaw. According to these precepts, Christian European rulers had absolute jurisdiction within their own territorial boundaries (internal sovereignty), and had certain obligations when it carne to their relations with other sovereign states (external sovereignty). The crown undertook these responsibilities through various "expressions of sovereignty". It employed writers who were knowledgeable in international law and European overseas activities, and used these interpretations to issue letters patent that demonstrated both continued royal authority over these territories and a desire to employ legal codes that would likely be approved by the international community. The crown also insisted on the erection of fortifications and approved of the publication of semiotically charged maps, each of which served the function of showing that the English had possession and effective control over the lands claimed in North and South America, the North Atlantic, and the East and West Indies.

  • Competition Elective Essay
    Migrating Landscapes: from local vernacular to new typologies Renée Kuehnle 20203101 [email protected] 1 Competition Brief: http://migratinglandscapes.ca/competition/requirements Design Brief: When people migrate, they bring with them cultural memories of a place, and unique cultural heritages, which affect one’s identity and inform one’s values. These migrated memories, either from another place or another time, transform as they settle into new contexts. New memories are forged, through processes of layering, erasure and juxtaposition, as the migrated memories negotiate with the unfamiliar in the context of new landscapes and architectural environments. In this sense, one never really settles or unsettles, and the resulting built form is neither of the former nor of the present. Instead, unique forms of un/settlement result that resonate with both local conditions and one’s own migrated cultural memories. The Migrating Landscapes Competition invites young Canadian architects and designers to reflect on their cultural migration experiences and un/settling encounters and to design dwellings – in a sense, first acts of settlement - onto the new landscape designed by MLO. This new landscape is an abstract assembly made of wooden modules and contestants are invited to act as its first immigrants. The act of constructing the first dwellings will be enactments of first immigration onto this abstract landscape. The dwellings and the landscape will together form both the regional exhibitions and the exhibition in Venice, providing a unique view into Canada’s past, present and future. Video: Narrative A monologue video in which the entrant talks about: • Intentions and ideas of the construct; specific resonances to the migration story.

  • The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and Its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery”
    The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery” by Judy and Larry Haiven, Saint Mary's University for the Symposium “The Co-operative and its Workers” June 15-17, 2006 Introduction This story plays itself out against the background of an industry and a province torn by economic crisis. Fogo is the largest of the smaller islands of Newfoundland, found off the northeast coast. It is approximately 254 sq km (approximately 15 x 15 km if the island were an exact square). The current population is 2800; the population before the collapse of the cod fishery in 1992 was almost twice that. The story of the Fogo Island Cooperative Society began in 1967 while the cod fishery was still viable, but first a bit of history just for context. Tradition from the 15th to the 19th century was that small groups of fisher people (English and Irish with a smattering of Portuguese, Basque and French) would set up a village in a friendly cove where they would fish the sea (primarily of the more-than-plentiful cod) and live very independently. Most of the fishing was close to shore, hence the “inshore fishery.” When the cove and the land surrounding it proved too small to provide for the growing community, a group would pick up and move to another location. Thus emerged a series of small fishing villages strung out along the rocky coastline, which, depending on how closely you track all of the inlets and headlands, is as “short” as 9,000 km or as long as 17,000 km.

La grandeur de l'histoire, comme d'ailleurs son intérêt, ne dépend pas en effet principalement des masses d'hom- mes qu'elle peut faire mouvoir dans le récit d'événements ordinaires, elle dépend plutôt de la grandeur morale des héros qu'elle met en mouvement, sous l'impulsion d'un puissant idéal, pour la réalisation d'une œuvre d'autant plus élevée et plus glorieuse qu'elle est plus ardue et plus périlleuse.

  • Effect of Chilled Temperature and Salt Concentration on Shelf Life of Herring (Clupea Harengus)
    PO Box 1390, Skulagata 4 120 Reykjavik, Iceland FINAL REPORT 2008 EFFECT OF CHILLED TEMPERATURE AND SALT CONCENTRATION ON SHELF LIFE OF HERRING (CLUPEA HARENGUS) Won Sik An Fisheries Information Division, Ministry of Fisheries Democratic People´s Republic of Korea Botongmun-Dong, Central District, Pyongyang E-mail: [email protected] Supervisors: Kristin A. Thorarinsdottir ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Asbjorn Jonsson ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research Irek Klonowski ([email protected]), Icelandic Food Research ABSTRACT Keeping the quality of fish and fish products at its best is the most important issue in fish processing. Based on the trend demanding that salted fish reduce salt content for dietary reasons as well as for further processing, this project focused on the extension of shelf life by investigating quality changes during brining in the cold storage of herring (Clupea harengus), the one of the popular foods in DPR Korea. Instead of the traditional salting method, an innovative method has been suggested called cold brining. Cold brining is a processing method expected either to provide a good salty flavour or to extend shelf life for further products by delaying microbiological growth and the chemical changes of the co- operation of ice and salt. In both experiments using fresh whole herring and fillets, five different brine concentrations of 8, 12, 14, 16 and 18%, and five different temperatures of 2, -1, -2, -4, -8 and -24 °C were used for 25 and 18 days, respectively, to select the optimum conditions for cold brining. The results were revealed that the 14% brine at -8 °C can be regarded as optimum condition for pre-cooling of herring.

Northeast Historical Archaeology/Vol. 41, 2012 1 The Seventeenth-Century Brewhouse and Bakery at Ferryland, Newfoundland Arthur R. Clausnitzer, Jr. and Barry C. Gaulton In 2001 archaeologists working at the 17th-century English settlement at Ferryland, Newfoundland, uncovered evidence of an early structure beneath a mid-to-late century gentry dwelling. A preliminary analysis of the architectural features and material culture from related deposits tentatively identified the structure as a brewhouse and bakery, likely the same “brewhouse room” mentioned in a 1622 letter from the colony. Further analysis of this material in 2010 confirmed the identification and dating of this structure. Comparison of the Ferryland brewhouse to data from both documentary and archaeological sources revealed some unusual features. When analyzed within the context of the original Calvert period settlement, these features provide additional evidence for the interpretation of the initial settlement at Ferryland not as a corporate colony such as Jamestown or Cupids, but as a small country manor home for George Calvert and his family.
