It is a pleasure to see our undergraduate students publish with such depth and breadth. I am always impressed by the range of disciplines represented in this outstanding journal. In the following pages you will read about how the online movement has profoundly influenced the logistics and energy consumption of shopping, Nyomi Bourbous looks into the heritability of intelligence, and Jillian Wales presents some fascinating case studies of women’s dissidence in Nazi Germany. Other topics include the justice system, modernisation in Afghanistan, poverty in India, and even a detailed study of toilet paper usage by the residents of Fenner Hall. I hope you will delight, as I do, in the quality and real-world relevance of the research presented here. Professor Ian Young AO Vice-Chancellor and President vii From the Editors We were both impressed and somewhat dismayed as we sifted our way through the various submissions to the ANU Undergraduate Research Journal (AURJ) 2013. Impressed at the quality and depth of the research being conducted by our undergraduate peers; dismayed that we had to turn away so many quality manuscripts. We invite readers to discover the breadth of the research being undertaken at the ANU, exhibited herein in the diversity and range of subjects explored in this volume. The multifaceted nature of the ANU research is clearly illustrated, with offerings from international politics, music, historical resistance movements, the environmental efficiency of online shopping and, closer to home, the use of sanitary paper in one of the University’s residential halls. We congratulate the students for their excellent work, and their commitment and tenacity as they proceeded through the review process. We trust that they have been provided with valuable experience for their future career paths, wherever they may lead. We thank the numerous reviewers who gave their time to offer comments and constructive criticism to the authors, ensuring that the end results would be of the highest possible quality. Particular thanks go to the reviewers that offered to mentor the students through the process of revising their manuscripts. Thanks also to our excellent team of subeditors, whose work has ensured the smooth running of the review process to a tight timeframe. We also thank the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ian Young, and Professor Richard Baker, the Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Experience for their support for AURJ. Thanks to Stefan Nesteroff, Project Coordinator, for his guidance and encouragement, and to ANU Press for their advice and support. We have enjoyed collating these pages and the opportunity this afforded us to be exposed to ideas and issues beyond our own niches. We hope that readers will also enjoy this foray into work that reflects and bolsters ANU’s reputation for high calibre research.

Her interest in Australian history led her to explore the way in which Indigenous Australians have so often been excluded from the Australian story. She is also interested in the status of Indigenous peoples in Australia from a legal perspective, and is looking forward to continuing her involvement with the ANU Law School’s Ready 4 Recognition group after coming back from exchange at Trinity College Dublin in July 2014. She hopes to pursue an honours project in this area in the future. Email: [email protected] Nyomi Bourbous Science in general has always intrigued Nyomi, but when she first came to the ANU she had no idea of the field in which she wanted to specialise. In her first and second years Nyomi was introduced to genetics and was hooked, believing that she had found her calling. In addition, she is also interested in evolutionary theory specifically pertaining to humans. She is currently in her final undergraduate year and has aspirations to complete honours in biological anthropology next year. She adores studying and acquiring new knowledge and it is her aspiration that one day she may be able to carry out her own research. Email: [email protected] Kieran Browne Kieran is in his final semester of a Bachelor of Digital Arts. His research has been concerned with the intersection of art and science and the globalisation of modern art theory in the latter part of the twentieth century. He is interested in historical and non-Western art theories, especially that of Indian and ‘oriental’ modernisms that have been ‘discovered’ by Western art discourse in recent years. His art practice and development of a theoretical framework owes much to the expansion of art discourse. Kieran hopes to continue working as a practising artist after his university studies. Email: [email protected] xiii The ANU Undergraduate Research Journal Andrew Chua Andrew graduated from the ANU with a Bachelor of Arts in July 2013, majoring in political science and ancient history. Andrew will be starting Bachelor of Arts (Honours) program from February 2014, with his thesis based on the politics of state-building in the Occupied Territories. Email: [email protected] Dominie Dessaix Dominie is a third-year Bachelor of Arts student, majoring in linguistics and philosophy. Her main interests are philosophy of mind and psychology, cognitive science, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language. She is fascinated by questions involving interdisciplinary work, or that have answers bearing on work done in many disciplines. Some of these questions are the nature of explanation, consciousness, and the role of language in what makes human activity unique. Dominie is also interested in how findings from linguistics might inform, and perhaps ‘naturalise’, the philosophy of language, and how the biological sciences might interact with linguistics, philosophy, and the humanities more generally. She hopes to begin honours mid-semester 2014, either single honours in philosophy, or combined honours in philosophy and linguistics. Email: [email protected] Sebastian Klich Sebastian is an international relations honours student specialising in Middle Eastern studies. His thesis uses a constructivist framework to analyse the identity and contested sovereignty of the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq, hence he chose to focus on the strategic and regional implications of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s unilateral natural resource management for this essay. After completing honours he hopes to complete a PhD at the ANU, conducting research into how social theory in international relations can provide a better understanding of how unrecognised states function in international society.

  • COLETTE, Une Artiste En Liberté (1873-1954) Colette, À Son Époque, Est Jugée Comme Une Femme Scandaleuse
    COLETTE, une artiste en liberté (1873-1954) Colette, à son époque, est jugée comme une femme scandaleuse. Dans les « Aventures de Claudine » son héroïne, Claudine, à laquelle elle prête de nombreux traits, apparaît comme une fille délurée et insolente. Sur scène, Colette s’exhibe nue et fait scandale. Colette Ce n’est pas une agitatrice : elle n’est ni dans la revendication ni dans le militantisme. Ce n’est pas une féministe. Femme amoureuse, elle a vécu des histoires passionnelles avec les hommes comme avec les femmes. Sa maison natale 1 - Les années d’enfance Sidonie Gabrielle Colette est née dans le village de Saint- Sauveur-en-Puisaye dans l’Yonne, aux confins de la Bourgogne qu’elle célébrera dans ses livres comme dans La maison de Claudine (1922) et dans Sido (1930). Elle évoque ce village où Ses parents elle a vécu une enfance heureuse. Colette adore la nature en Bourgogne comme en Provence où elle s’achètera une maison, à Saint-Tropez avant l’invasion des touristes, et en Bretagne, à Saint-Coulomb. Ses parents sont Sidonie Landoy (1835-1912) et Jules Joseph Colette dans son jardin Colette (1829-1905). C’est un second mariage pour son père. Celui-ci est un saint-cyrien qui a perdu une jambe dans le conflit avec les Italiens. Il est percepteur. Colette, dernière enfant de la fratrie a une demi-sœur qu’elle n’apprécie guère et deux demi-frères qu’elle préfère. Sa mère appelée Sido sera l’initiatrice de Colette. Colette écrira un livre intitulé Sido (1930). Colette adolescente, n’est ni romanesque ni révoltée.

Addressing Success: Fame and Narrative Strategies in Colette's La Naissance du jour Abstract Colette's La Naissance du jour (1928) is probably her most renowned work on the complex mother- daughter relations between her mother Sido and herself. Yet, as I demonstrate in this article, the book is just as much about renown itself. Beginning with the theoretical works of Leo Braudy (The Frenzy of Renown), John Rodden (The Politics of Literary Reputation), and a close analysis of La Naissance du jour, I look at the ways in which Colette manipulated her narratives to create her own public images ofherself.

  • Colette: Perfil Humano De Una Escritora a Través De Un Recuerdo: Bertrand De Jouvenel
    ANALES DE F~LOLOGIAFRANCESA, N." 2, 1987. PAGS. 79-86 Colette: Perfil humano de una escritora a través de un recuerdo: Bertrand de Jouvenel POR MARlA TERESA MUNOZ ZIELINS Kl Univer~idrrddr Murt ici Durante una de mis estancias en París, donde me encontraba recabando datos para la elaboración de mi tesis doctoral sobre Colette, tuve la ocasión de poder conocer a Bertrand de Jouvenel. Este hombre, importante politólogo y escritor renombrado en el área de la política francesa actual, tuvo en su día una hermosa y estrecha relación con Colette. Su padre, Henri de Jouvenel, era marido de Colette y esto le llevó a conocer a su madrastra en un momento en el que, a instancias de la primera esposa de Jouvenel, el joven Bertrand que entonces contaba 16 años, fue a llevarle un ramo de flores como señal de un mejor entendimiento entre las dos mujeres. El momento está relatado en un prólogo escrito por Bertrand de Jouvenel y titulado Lu véritk de Chdri, en las ediciones de La Pléiade de las Obras de Colette. En la manera de redactarlo se nota un sentimiento de afecto hacia Colette y está lleno de ternura. La tarde en la que fui a conocer a este hombre que había estado tan cerca de Colette era ya en el mes de septiembre y una fina lluvia hacía que el otoño se sintiera algo más cercano. En la estancia donde fui recibida el ambiente era acogedor. Por unos instantes tuve la sensación como si el espíritu de Colette formara parte del entorno y quisiera tomar parte en la conversación que mi- nutos después iba a tener lugar.

    Treball de recerca EL SILENCI I EL TALENT SOTA PSEUDÒNIMS MASCULINS La meva revolució "M'atreviria a aventurar que Anònim, que tantes obres va escriure sense signar, era sovint una dona." Virginia Woolf AGRAÏMENTS En primer lloc, voldria agrair a la meva tutora del Treball de Recerca la seva abocada dedicació i orientació que m'ha fet sentir tan ben acompanyada durant el procediment. De la mateixa manera, m'agradaria reconèixer l'ajuda i la motivació rebuda per part dels altres membres del professorat i personal docent de l'escola. Per últim, vull agrair el suport de la meva família i amistats que han estat presents durant la realització d'aquest projecte. ABSTRACT This investigation has been based on the fact that many female writers of the nineteenth century chose to use a male pseudonym, and to put in question why they weren’t able to sign their own artworks with their real names. To do so, it was necessary to get to know better the countries where they lived, the literary movements at the time, and the most well-known authors of each country. Having achieved this, their repercussions could be compared through a survey. Additionally, two women from each country were selected, their biographies were written down as well as many different aspects of their lives, such as childhood, love life... Furthermore, their book topics were analyzed, so their main and individual aims could be identified. Key words: ​female writers, pseudonym, survey, biographies, causes ÍNDEX 1.

  • At the Time of His Death in 1937, Maurice Ravel Was the Most Celebrated Contemporary Composer in France
    PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL By JESSIE FILLERUP Copyright 2009 Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy. ____________________________ Chairperson Committee members: ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date defended: 6 April 2009 The Dissertation Committee for Jessie Fillerup certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: PURLOINED POETICS: THE GROTESQUE IN THE MUSIC OF MAURICE RAVEL Committee: ____________________________ Chairperson ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ ____________________________ Date approved: 6 April 2009 ii To Michael and Rebecca Mahalo nui loa iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Early on, I wondered if my experience writing a dissertation would resemble the fictional Jack Burden’s, who entered a period of inert semi-consciousness known as “the Great Sleep.” Faced with the prospect of completing his dissertation, Jack slept fourteen or fifteen hours a night; when he finally woke, it was to contemplate this thought: “If I don’t get up I can’t go back to bed.”1 I was fortunate to have better reasons for getting up in the morning. Those reasons begin with my dissertation advisor, Roberta Freund Schwartz, a scholar of Renaissance music and the blues; she shepherded my project with such care and conviction that anyone not looking closely would think I was writing about Robert Johnson, not Ravel. Roberta encouraged me to strive for greater clarity by sloughing off the stylistic and scholarly accretions that cling to graduate students like barnacles. I am grateful for her patience and conscientious attention to my writing, as well as her sustained enthusiasm for this project; her dedication is inspiring.

I engage with theories of the quotidian, queer and affect theory, feminist literary criticism and work on life-writing, and sexuality studies. Each of the writers under investigation here demands a reorientation to their texts from readers, as styles and subject matter shift to challenge patriarchal discourse. I focus on the last two original works of Colette (1873-1954), which experiment with her short forms and observational style. I connect her insistence on material objects to the everyday existence and corporeal realities of an aging writer.

Avant-propos On raconte que George Sand, ayant terminé je ne sais plus lequel de ses romans au petit matin, se saisit d'une rame de papier, et sans se donner le temps de souffler, entama l'histoire de sa vie qui allait comporter vingt volumes. Colette admirait et enviait une telle fertilité, que d'aucuns ont irrévérencieusement appelée de l'incontinence. Maintes fois sollicitée d'écrire ses mémoires, elle s'y est toujours refusée : « A l'idée, me disait-elle, de commencer un ouvrage par : « Je suis née le 28 janvier 1873, à Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye », et de n'en être qu'au premier jour, je suis d'avance découragée..

  • Biographie De Colette
    Colette, la subversive (biographie). Marie-Noëlle Lanneval, psychologue clinicienne, psychanalyste, docteur en Psychologie clinique. ©Revue Européenne de Psychologie et de Droit. www.psyetdroit.eu Sidonie Gabrielle COLETTE est née en 1873 dans une famille rurale aisée. Son père est St Cyrien, et a participé aux guerres d’Italie de Napoléon III. Il a eu la jambe gauche arrachée en 1859 à Marignan, au cours de confrontations entre soldats ennemis. Il est depuis, percepteur à St Sauveur. C’est le deuxième mari de Sido, sa mère. Cette femme Sido, a été élevée en Belgique par son père, puis par son frère Eugène, de 19 ans plus âgé qu’elle, car sa mère est morte en la mettant au monde. De douleur son père l’a envoyée en nourrice, près de St Sauveur pendant deux ans. Elle reviendra ensuite à Bruxelles chez Eugène. Ce frère est, me semble t-il important, car le premier mari de Colette lui ressemble beaucoup : journaliste, éditeur, écrivain. Sido a vécu une époque historique extrêmement mouvementée, d’abord en France près de St Sauveur, chez une nourrice, puis à Bruxelles près des intellectuels exilés volontaires français républicains qui fuyaient la répression de Napoléon III, entre autres Victor Hugo qui passa par Bruxelles avant d’aller à Guernesey. Elle fréquente les intellectuels mais également se frotte à leurs idées, essentiellement celles de Charles Fourier pour qui il faut vivre ses passions, refuser la famille et le mariage. Elle se mariera cependant par convenances. Elle dira à sa fille : « je suis de mon village ». C'est-à-dire il faut tenir compte des préjugés.
