Abstract Victorian Egyptology and the Making of a Colonial Field Science, 1850-1906 Meira Gold This dissertation provides a new account of the origins of archaeological fieldwork in the Nile Delta. It considers how practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds circulated knowledge about the built environment of pharaonic ruins: monuments, architecture, burials, and soil mounds that remained in situ. I trace the development of Egyptology from an activity that could be practiced long-distance through a network of informants to one that required first-hand field experience.

Doctoral Dissertations. 1655. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1655 Alternative Biographies: (Re)telling Feminine (Hi)stories in Selected 20th-Century Texts by Québécois Women Writers Jessica A. McBride, PhD University of Connecticut, 2017 The objective of this dissertation is to examine the tendency on the part of several québécois women authors from the 20th century to create alternative feminine biographies for forgotten, undervalued, or misrepresented women from the past. Given the complex relationship the Québécois have with their provincial history, and the central role chauvinistic representations of women and the “Québec national text” play in safeguarding the québécois cultural identity, contemporary women writers from Québec are singularly poised to resurrect, recreate, revive, and rewrite the feminine historical experience into the traditional discourse of History. From Québec’s most famous woman writer, Anne Hébert, to a lesser known militant lesbian playwright, Jovette Marchessault, and other québécois women writers along the spectrum, there exists a common trope: plays and novels in which homo- or heterodiegetic women narrators feel compelled to (re)tell another woman’s feminine (hi)story. Some examples of this practice appear initially to be somewhat traditional works of historical fiction, others ignore almost entirely the referential world beyond the confines of their pages.

Que ce soit dans sa production, sa création ou sa réception, l’évolution rapide des technologies numériques et l’apparition des nouveaux médias ont contraint l’industrie télévisuelle à changer, parfois contre son gré. C’est le cas de la chaîne généraliste américaine NBC, pour qui cette période de transition a été particulièrement difficile à traverser. Au cœur de ce moment charnière dans l’histoire de la télévision aux États-Unis, la sitcom Community (NBC, 2009- 2014; Yahoo!Screen, 2015) incarne et témoigne bien de différentes transformations amenées par cette convergence entre Internet et la télévision et des conséquences de cette dernière dans l’industrie télévisuelle. L’observation du parcours tumultueux de la comédie de situation ayant débuté sur les ondes de NBC dans le cadre de sa programmation Must-See TV, entre 2009 et 2014, avant de se terminer sur le service par contournement Yahoo! Screen, en 2015, permet de constater que Community est un objet télévisuel qui a constamment cherché à s’adapter à un média en pleine mutation.

  • The Power of Myths and Storytelling in Nation Building: the Campaign for the Independence of Catalonia from Spain (2012–2015)
    The Power of Myths and Storytelling in Nation Building: The Campaign for the Independence of Catalonia from Spain (2012–2015) César García Central Washington University ABSTRACT Background There is no nation without its origin story. The recent success of the Catalan campaign for independence (2012–2015) can be explained by a strong capacity to build and convey a story capable of informing, persuading, and eliciting emotional responses from Catalans and other Spaniards. Analysis The recent Catalan nationalism narrative has been forged by updating the foun - dational myths of Catalan nationalism through four main plots—quest, escape, revenge, and transformation—that with a pragmatic character have been able to integrate current affairs into the old myths. Conclusion and implications This article explores the elements of the new Catalan nation - alism narrative by analyzing the interaction of foundational myths, the use of master plots, current affairs, and the means of dissemination. Keywords Nation building; Storytelling; Spain; Separatism RÉSUMÉ Contexte Sans histoire d’origine, il n’y a pas de nation. Le succès récent de la campagne cata - lane pour l’indépendance (2012-2015) s’explique par une forte capacité à imaginer et diffuser une histoire propice à informer, persuader et toucher les Catalans et autres Espagnols. Analyse Le récit récent sur le nationalisme catalan résulte de la mise à jour de mythes fondateurs par l’entremise de quatre intrigues clés—quête, fuite, vengeance et transformation—qui de manière pragmatique ont réussi à resituer les vieux mythes dans l’actualité. Conclusion et implications Cet article explore les éléments du nouveau récit sous-tendant le nationalisme catalan en analysant les correspondances entre les mythes fondateurs, le re - cours à des intrigues clés, l’actualité et les modes de diffusion.

THE NEW SCIENCE OF GIAMBATTISTA VICO THE NEW SCIENCE OF GIAMBATTISTA VICO Translated from the third edition (1744) by THOMAS GODDARD BERGIN AND MAX HAROLD FISCH Cornell University Press ITHACA, NEW YORK, 1948 Copyright 1948 by Cornell University Cornell University Press London: Geoffrey Cumberlege Oxford University Press PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BY THE VAIL-BALLOU PREbS, INC,, BINGHAM1ON, NEW YORK To ROBERT MORRIS OGDEN AND GEORGE HOLLAND SABINE PREFACE THE FOLLOWING translation of Vico's Scienza nuova, begun in 1939 at Naples and on Capri but interrupted by the war, is based on the text edited by Fausto Nicolini which forms volume 112 and the first 166 pages of volume 113 in the Scrittori d'ltalia (Bari, Laterza, 1928). That text was based on a word-for-word collation of Nicolini's earlier edition of 191 1-16 with the edition of 1744 and with the manuscript in Vico's hand from which the latter was printed. Vico's intolerably long paragraphs and sentences were broken up and the punctuation was otherwise modernized. His countless parenthetical phrases and clauses were enclosed in curved lines to clarify the syntax. The paragraphs were numbered, and the index references were to paragraphs rather than pages. We have retained Nicolini's paragraphing, and our index, like his, refers to the paragraphs by number; but we have carried the breaking up of sentences much further.

Madison: Madison House, 1999. Xxiv + 240 pp. $34.95 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-945612-67-4. Reviewed by Jeffrey Robert Young (Department of History, Georgia Southern University) Published on H-South (February, 2001) Mythology and Heroism in the Slave South Mythology and Heroism in the Slave South Once upon a time, white historians of Southern slavery argued that African Americans accepted and even appreciated being held in bondage. U. B. Phillips, the eminent authority on such matters for the first half of the twentieth century, pointed to the "natural amenability of the blacks" as a "decisive factor in their initial enslavement" and suggested that the institution reflected "gentleness, kind- hearted friendship and mutual loyalty" between the races.[1] This flawed white scholarship was built upon the proslavery myths manufactured by the slaveowners themselves and was echoed by twentieth-century novelists such as Margaret Mitchell. In the white reading of slavery, slaves seldom seemed to plot insurrection because they were viewed, by whites, as having been largely content in their subordinate social station. Not until the publication (in 1979) of Eugene Genovese's masterful comparative work, From Rebellion to Revolution, did scholars appreciate the extent to which demography and geography limited Southern slaves' ability to employ widescale violence against their masters.[2] Outnumbered by white Southerners and without widespread access to a hinterland conducive to the construction of autonomous maroon societies, African-American slaves adopted alternative strategies of resistance.
