  • A Guide to Genealogical Research at History Nebraska
    A Guide to Genealogical Research at History Nebraska The Library/Archives Division of History Nebraska maintains a large collection of library, archival, and photographic materials that may be used in compiling family histories. These materials are available to all researchers in History Nebraska's Reference Room at 1500 R Street, Lincoln, Nebraska. The resources described in this guide are those most commonly used by genealogists in their research. The Library/ Archives holds many other documentary materials not listed here. Please contact us if you have questions concerning other resources. The staff of the Library/Archives will also answer mail requests for a fee, if the queries are clear and specific. Examples of such requests are: an obituary in a particular location with an exact death date; a marriage record when an approximate date and location are provided; a search for a family in a Nebraska census when a location is known; or a search for a surname in a local history. Staff research time is limited to four hours/request. For research beyond that, consult our Fees for Research and Duplication schedule. Many excellent resources are available if you are just starting your family research. We suggest that you ask your local library for some basic "how to" books on genealogy, or contact your local or state genealogical society for information on genealogy classes offered in your area. We will be happy to provide you with a list of Nebraska genealogical organizations upon request. If you wish to hire someone to do extensive family research, you should contact one or more of these organizations for assistance.

  • Animality, Subjectivity, and Society in Anglo-Saxon England
    IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of English Language and Literature by Matthew E. Spears January 2017 © 2017 Matthew E. Spears IDENTIFYING WITH THE BEAST: ANIMALITY, SUBJECTIVITY, AND SOCIETY IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND Matthew E. Spears, Ph.D. Cornell University, 2017 My dissertation reconsiders the formation of subjectivity in Anglo-Saxon England. It argues that the Anglo-Saxons used crossings of the human-animal divide to construct the subject and the performance of a social role. While the Anglo-Saxons defined the “human” as a form of life distinct from and superior to all other earthly creatures, they also considered most humans to be subjects-in-process, flawed, sinful beings in constant need of attention. The most exceptional humans had to be taught to interact with animals in ways that guarded the self and the community against sin, but the most loathsome acted like beasts in ways that endangered society. This blurring of the human-animal divide was therefore taxonomic, a move to naturalize human difference, elevate some members of society while excluding others from the community, and police the unruly and transgressive body. The discourse of species allowed Anglo-Saxon thinkers to depict these moves as inscribed into the workings of the natural world, ordained by the perfect design of God rather than a product of human artifice and thus fallible. “Identifying with the Beast” is informed by posthumanist theories of identity, which reject traditional notions of a unified, autonomous self and instead view subjectivity as fluid and creative, produced in the interaction of humans, animals, objects, and the environment.

    . ( - / } N... ,; V THE RAMAYANA IN CONTEMPORARY THAILAND MYA L. GOSLING 12/19/2005 INTRODUCTION The Ramayana is arguably one of the most important and influential cultural icons of Thailand. An epic that dwarfs the Iliad and the Odyssey in both length and depth, it has effectively permeated Thai traditions of art, literature and performing arts. Today the main representations of classical Thai culture can be readily identified by their association with the Ramayana: the literary masterpiece Ramakien, the refined dance form khon, and the intricate murals at Wat Phra Kaew, the Temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok. Each of these are treasured by the Thai public in general, and the Thai Tourism Authority in particular, as shining examples of the best that classical Thai culture has to offer. The Ramayana has become, in effect, a national emblem. Why then does interest in it and its associated art forms appear to be perpetually on the decline? Despite its close association with so many elements of classical Thai traditions, the Ramayana is by no means an indigenous phenomenon, but rather an ancient Hindu epic that was imported from the Indian subcontinent into Southeast Asian during what French historian George Coedes terms the period of Indianization.' At first glance it seems rather incongruous that such an unequivocally Indian and Hindu religious tradition would eventually develop into one of the central pillars of classical Thai culture. Once introduced to Thailand, however, the Ramayana was adopted fairly quickly by the local aristocracy and eventually benefited from the patronage of local rulers. Viewed as a conduit through which aspiring monarchs could establish political legitimacy, the Ramayana became an integral part of court-related ritual and performing arts.
