Green lizards dart through the deserted chapels. The bells which summoned to toil and to worship are silent. The peons are free. But they are not contented. -Ernest Gruening on Morelos, Mexico and its Heritage, New York: Appleton Century Croft, 1928, 162.

(August 2012) Michael J. Beilfuss, B.A., SUNY New Paltz; M.A., SUNY New Paltz Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. M. Jimmie Killingsworth This dissertation engages a number of currents of environmental criticism and rhetoric in an analysis of the poetry, fiction, and non-fiction of the southeastern United States. I examine conceptions of genitive relationships with the environment as portrayed in the work of diverse writers, primarily William Faulkner, Robert Penn Warren, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neal Hurston, and Elizabeth Madox Roberts. Southern literature is rarely addressed in ecocritical studies, and to date no work offers an intensive and focused examination of the rhetoric employed in conceptions of environmental ownership. -

The Country near the City: Social Space and Dominance in Tamil Nadu Dhivya Janarthanan Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD 2015 Department of Sociology and Anthropology School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London ABSTRACT The Country near the City: Social Space and Dominance in Tamil Nadu Recent anthropological, geographical, and historical studies have exorcised the conceptualisation of space as an empty container. Yet the anthropology of space often limits itself to examining representations of space instead of comprehending the wider spectrum of relations and processes that produce social space itself. Within the field of South Asian ethnography, this has, combined with the rejection of the ‘legacies’ of village studies, cast a shadow over the village as an ontologically and epistemologically relevant category. -
