  • Destructive Discourse
    Destructive Discourse ‘Japan-bashing’ in the United States, Australia and Japan in the 1980s and 1990s This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2006 Narrelle Morris (LLB, BAsian St., BA (Hons), Murdoch University) I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ...................... ABSTRACT By the 1960s-70s, most Western commentators agreed that Japan had rehabilitated itself from World War II, in the process becoming on the whole a reliable member of the international community. From the late 1970s onwards, however, as Japan’s economy continued to rise, this premise began to be questioned. By the late 1980s, a new ‘Japan Problem’ had been identified in Western countries, although the presentation of Japan as a dangerous ‘other’ was nevertheless familiar from past historical eras. The term ‘Japan-bashing’ was used by opponents of this negative view to suggest that much of the critical rhetoric about a ‘Japan Problem’ could be reduced to an unwarranted, probably racist, assault on Japan. This thesis argues that the invention and popularisation of the highly-contested label ‘Japan-bashing’, rather than averting criticism of Japan, perversely helped to exacerbate and transform the moderate anti-Japanese sentiment that had existed in Western countries in the late 1970s and early 1980s into a widely disseminated, heavily politicised and even encultured phenomenon in the late 1980s and 1990s. Moreover, when the term ‘Japan-bashing’ spread to Japan itself, Japanese commentators were quick to respond.

Ms Adamson: I will ask Mr Fisher to take that question. Mr Fisher: We do not have total costs on that. The costs are decentralised. Each area that sends a presenter will allot costs to that activity. Senator WONG: The papers say $215,000, so I am giving you the opportunity to respond to that figure. Mr Fisher: We do not have the total costs. We are seeking to do the Canberra- based costs, so we will endeavour to get those costs; whether we need to give those to you on notice or whether we can do that through the day, I am not quite sure. Senator WONG: Let us break this up, shall we? Are you talking about costs for travel? Mr Fisher: I am talking about costs for travel, there will be allowances involved and accommodation, essentially. Answer The total cost of 22 A-based staff from Canberra attending the Regional Management Conference in Paris was AUD192,081.

The Ames City Council will be discussing a proposal to use fuel contracts to purchase fuel for CyRide, in which CyRide would agree to buy enough fuel for a two-month period at a predetermined price. Currently, CyRide purchases fuel every seven to 14 days and pays market price for the thousands of gallons of fuel. Under the pro- posed fuel contracts, the fuel expenditures would be more stable, which could reduce CyRide fuel costs.

  • Emotional and Descriptive Meaning- Making in Online Non-Professional Discussions About Science
    ` “Nah, musing is fine. You don't have to be 'doing science'” Emotional and Descriptive Meaning- Making in Online Non-Professional Discussions about Science Oliver Martin Marsh UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2017 1 ` Declaration I, Oliver Martin Marsh, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ` Abstract In this thesis I use online settings to explore how descriptive and emotional forms of meaning-making interact in non-professional discussions around ‘science’. Data was collected from four participatory online fora, from March 2015 to February 2016. Posts and comments from these fora were examined through discourse analysis, supplemented by interviews with participants and computer-aided text analysis, over the period August 2015 to August 2017. Theoretical background drew on Science and Technology Studies (STS) and Fan Studies (FS), to examine how science was presented in both descriptive and emotional terms. There were two main findings. Firstly, discussions were shaped by an expectation that members should respect mainstream scientific consensus. In a manner familiar from STS, participants treated claims which went against scientific consensus as incorrect or non- credible. Responses also showed emotional aspects which shaped participation. Respect for scientific consensus facilitated social bonding and expression of community values, while disrespect was met with anger and/or ridicule. Through normalisation of such behaviour, scientific authority was maintained by communal sanctions rather than accredited expertise. The second main finding was a distinction between two forms of discourse, which I refer to as musing and identifying.

  • Christianity and Vegetarianism 1809 – 2009
    EDEN’S DIET: CHRISTIANITY AND VEGETARIANISM 1809 – 2009 by SAMANTHA JANE CALVERT A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The vegetarian teachings of the Salvation Army, Quakers, the Seventh Day Adventists and other Christian groups have been largely neglected by academics. This study takes a prosopographical approach to the development of modern Christian vegetarianism across a number of Christian vegetarian sects, and some more mainstream traditions, over a period of two centuries. The method allows for important points of similarity and difference to be noted among these groups’ founders and members. This research contributes particularly to radical Christian groups’ place in the vegetarian movement’s modern history. This study demonstrates how and why Christian vegetarianism developed in the nineteenth century and to what extent it influenced the secular vegetarian movement and wider society. It contextualizes nineteenth-century Christian vegetarianism in the wider movement of temperance, and considers why vegetarianism never made inroads into mainstream churches in the way that the temperance movement did.
