Faculty Advisor: Lisa Mitchell This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hist_honors/4 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The White Author's Burden: Justifications of Empire in the Fiction of British India Abstract The White Author’s Burden: Justifications of Empire in the Fiction of British India identifies a transformation in Anglo-Indian literature by exploring various fictional works (including novels, short stories, and poems) written by British authors between 1800 and 1924. Before 1857 (the year of the widespread Indian Rebellions that challenged British rule), Anglo-Indian literature focused exclusively on British life in India. Interactions with Indians were minimal, if present at all. After this date, however, British authors began to portray India and Indians almost entirely in ways that justified their own rule. This shift in the literature suggests that the British felt a new need to justify their empire. This thesis focuses on three literary themes offered by British authors that served to legitimize British rule in India in the second half of the nineteenth century: (1) the state of Indian women; (2) the alleged rivalry between Hindus and Muslims; and (3) the perceived incompetence of educated Indians for political rule.

  • University of South Carolina Upstate
    University of South Carolina Upstate Commencement Exercises May 2, 2017 Academic Traditions The Processions Our commencement exercises will begin with an academic procession to the platform, a tradition dating to the great medieval universities of England. The audience is asked to rise when the processional begins and remain standing for the invocation. At the close of the ceremony, the audience is asked to stand and join in singing the first verse of the Alma Mater and remain standing in place for the benediction and the recessional. The music for the recessional is another academic tradition,Gaudeamus Igitur (“Let Us Rejoice”). The song originated in the German universities as a celebration of the joy of learning experienced by a university community of faculty, students, staff, alumni, and friends. Caps, Gowns, and Tassels The pageantry of an academic procession includes various customs of academic attire. The cap is traditionally a mortarboard with tassel, the color of which denotes the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. For instance, those earning bachelor of arts degrees wear white, golden yellow for bachelor of science degrees, drab for bachelor of science degrees in business administration, light blue for bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in education, and apricot for bachelor of science degrees in nursing. Hoods The hood represents the institution from which the wearer earned his or her advanced degree and also indicates the academic discipline in which the degree was earned. The length of the hood for the master’s degree is three and a half feet. The length of the hood for the doctoral degree is four feet.

  • English Or Anglo-Indian?: Kipling and the Shift in the Representation of the Colonizer in the Discourse of the British Raj
    English or Anglo-Indian?: Kipling and the Shift in the Representation of the Colonizer in the Discourse of the British Raj Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Catherine Elizabeth Hart, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Clare Simmons, Advisor Jill Galvan Amanpal Garcha Pranav Jani Copyright by Catherine Elizabeth Hart 2012 Abstract Using Rudyard Kipling as the focal point, my dissertation examines nineteenth- century discourse on English identity and imperialism through literature of the British Raj written in the 1840s through the 1930s. In my analysis of this literature, I identify a shift in the representation of the colonizer between English and Anglo-Indian in four distinct historical moments: pre-Rebellion (1857), post-Rebellion, the fin de siècle, and post- World War I. While the term Anglo-Indian can be used as a simple means of categorization—the Anglo-Indian is the English colonizer who lives in and conducts imperial work in India as opposed to one of the other British colonies—it also designates a distinct cultural identity and identifies the extent to which the colonizer has been affected by India and imperialism. As such, the terms Anglo-Indian and English, rather than being interchangeable, remain consistently antithetical in the literature with one obvious exception: the Kipling canon. In fact, it is only within the Kipling canon that the terms are largely synonymous; here, the Anglo-Indian colonizer is represented not only as a positive figure but also as a new and improved breed of Englishman.

  • QUEEN VICTORIA's DIAMOND JUBILEE BRITISH CINEMATOGRAPHE (British Cinematographe / Joly-Normandin)
    Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Luke McKernan © 2012 QUEEN VICTORIA’S DIAMOND JUBILEE Luke McKernan This is the text of a multimedia entertainment devoted to the Diamond Jubilee procession of Queen Victoria, which took place in London, 22 June 1897. The show recreates the procession by following its route around London, interspersing the narrative with eye-witness testimony, photographs, and films taken from each location. In performance the show has a narrator, two actors (for the male and female parts) and a pianist. The show was put on at various locations between 1997 and 2012, and the text is being made available for reference purposes. Links to copies of the films now available online are given at the end. All frame stills come from films held by the BFI National Archive. 1 Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Luke McKernan © 2012 QUEEN VICTORIA’S DIAMOND JUBILEE This evening’s entertainment commemorates, in film, photography, prose and rhyme, the Diamond Jubilee celebrations of Queen Victoria, held one hundred and fifteen years ago on the 22nd of June 1897. Chiefly we are telling the story through the efforts of the filmmakers of 1897, representatives of a then new and soon to be globally important industry. Unless you are a historian of early film, as I try to be, you probably will not understand the great irritation felt when I read this passage from a biography of Queen Victoria, which describes the filming of the Diamond Jubilee: One of the earliest films ever made of a public occasion recorded part of the service. The Queen described it as "Very wonderful", but "a little hazy and too rapid".

Walker And approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2011 ©2011 Kenneth Sammond ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Exile and Empire: Post-Imperial Narrative and the National Epic: A Comparative Study of Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses and Virgil’s Aeneid By KENNETH SAMMOND Dissertation Director: Professor Steven F. Walker This dissertation juxtaposes Virgil’s Aeneid with Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses in order to explore how epics, which question and upend our very ideas of civilization, represent a crisis in culture and anticipate new ways of imagining community. This juxtaposition, developed from allusions to Virgil found in The Satanic Verses, examines how Virgil’s epic imagines empire and how Rushdie’s work, as a type of epic, creates a narrative that I term, ‘post-imperial.’ Post-imperial narrative is defined as part of the evolution of the epic genre and its ways of imagining community. To create this definition, I represent a genealogy of epic traits both structural and thematic, arguing that epic themes express totalizing perspectives and changes that irrevocably alter the world. This genealogy reveals how epics imagine communities by creating self-definitional traits, historical and cosmological contexts, and anticipated futures.

It demonstrated the esteem in which he was still held and the consequent longevity of his literary success. This thesis examines how Kipling established, maintained and protected his reputation, his purpose in doing so and considers if concern about his own ethnic purity was a central motivation for him in this regard. This thesis explores Kipling‟s preoccupation with the reputation of the enlisted man – or „Tommy Atkins‟ figure – and his sympathy with the „underdog‟ and discusses how recuperation of this denigrated image was instrumental in establishing and increasing Kipling‟s poetic and literary success. His intimate personal relationship and fascination with the enlisted man is investigated, especially in terms of Empire and the Great War and juxtaposed with discussion of Kipling‟s numerous elite, establishment military and political connections.
