  • Re-Membering Norridgewock Stories and Politics of a Place Multiple
    RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE 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 Philosophy by Ashley Elizabeth Smith December 2017 © 2017 Ashley Elizabeth Smith RE-MEMBERING NORRIDGEWOCK STORIES AND POLITICS OF A PLACE MULTIPLE Ashley Elizabeth Smith, Ph. D. Cornell University 2017 This dissertation is an ethnography of place-making at Norridgewock, the site of a famous Wabanaki village in western Maine that was destroyed by a British militia in 1724. I examine how this site is variously enacted as a place of Wabanaki survivance and erasure and ask, how is it that a particular place with a particular history can be mobilized in different and even contradictory ways? I apply Annemarie Mol’s (2002) analytic concept of the body multiple to place to examine how utilize practices of storytelling, remembering, gathering, producing knowledge, and negotiating relationships to variously enact Norridgewock as a place multiple. I consider the multiple, overlapping, coexistent, and contradictory enactments of place and engagements with knowledge that shape place-worlds in settler colonial nation-states. Rather than taking these different enactments of place to be different perspectives on or versions of place, I examine how these enactments are embedded in and shaped by hierarchies of power and politics that produce enactments of place that are at times parallel and at times contradictory. Place-making is especially political in the context of settler colonialism, where indigenous places, histories, and peoples are erased in order to be replaced (Wolfe 2006; O’Brien 2010).

  • Hallowell, Maine: the Historical Landscape
    HALLOWELL, MAINE: THE HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE OF A NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Janet M. Pelletier June 2005 This thesis entitled HALLOWELL, MAINE: THE HISTORICAL LANDSCAPE OF A NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND VILLAGE BY JANET M. PELLETIER has been approved for the Department of Geography and the College of Arts and Sciences by Timothy G. Anderson Associate Professor of Geography Leslie A. Flemming Dean, College of Arts and Sciences PELLETIER, JANET M. M.A. June 2005. Historical Geography Hallowell, Maine: the historical landscape of a northern New England village (pp.118) Director of Thesis: Timothy G. Anderson This study aims to more fully understand early settlement and growth in northern New England through an analysis of the historical geography of Hallowell, Maine. Located at the head of navigation on the Kennebec River, Hallowell played a significant role in Maine’s development due especially to its location along the Kennebec River and its function as an important early trans-shipment node. Due in large part to its optimal location along a major waterway, Hallowell circumstantially benefited from early trade in the region. Hallowell’s rich history is punctuated by substantial early economic growth and success, followed later by setbacks leading to economic decline and a loss of regional economic significance. The first 200 years of Hallowell’s history has been rather well documented, but its later history has heretofore not been adequately studied. This thesis addresses how Hallowell was first settled and flourished, and what grew out of the decline in Hallowell’s initial prosperity.
