He completed his studies at L’École Normale Supérieure and traveled extensively in his youth. In 1906 he spent a year in the United States, where he worked as a French instructor at Harvard. When he returned to France, Giraudoux served as a diplomat and government official. He served in World War I, was wounded twice (first at Alsace and later in the Dardanelles), and became the first writer ever to be awarded the Legion of Honor. At the start of World War II he served as Minister of Information, but retired in January 1941. Giraudoux died in 1944 and is buried in the Cimetière de Passy in Paris. As a dramatist, Giraudoux wrote 15 plays including Tiger at the Gates in 1935, Ondine in 1939, and The Madwoman of Chaillot, which was published and produced a year after his death in 1945. As a writer of prose, he wrote five novels, numerous short stories, and essays on both literary and political studies. In their introduction to the play in Contemporary Drama: Eleven Plays, editors E. Bradlee Watson and Benfield Pressey write: “Listening “I know perfectly well that at this moment the whole uni- to Giraudoux can be a rich experience.

Discussing the respective arguments, the article offers a synthesis: the effect of early state formation on development trajectories was subject to a threshold condition. Non-European states at the highest levels of precolonial political centralization were able to resist European encroachment and engage in defensive modernization, whereas states closest to, yet just below, this threshold were the most attractive targets for colonial exploitation. Since the onset of decolonization, however, such polities have been among the first to regain independence and world patterns of state capacity are increasingly reverting to those of the precolonial era.

Thesis advisor Author James A. Robinson Roberto Stefan Foa Ancient Polities, Modern States Abstract Political science is concerned with the study of polities. However, remarkably few scholars are familiar with the polities of the premodern era, such as Vijayanagara, Siam, Abyssinia, the Kingdoms of Kongo or Mutapa, or the Mysore or Maratha empires. This dissertation examines the legacies of precolonial polities in India, during the period from 1707 to 1857. I argue that, contrary to the widespread perception that the Indian subcon- tinent was a pre-state society, the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were a time of rapid defensive modernization across the subcontinent, driven by the requirements of gunpowder weaponry and interstate warfare among South Asian regimes and against European colonial powers.

  • A Brief History of Vietnam
    A Brief History of Vietnam Prehistory Inhabited by human beings for hundreds of thousands of years, the area of Southeast Asia now called Vietnam was the site of a civilization that engaged in agriculture and pottery-making as early as 6,000 BC, roughly the same time such activities began in the city-states of ancient Mesopotamia. During this period, a succession of dynasties ruled the structured society that developed among the varied and changing ethnic groups living in the region. The Emergence of Vietnam The rulers of the Trieu dynasty (207-111 BC), the first to identify themselves as Vietnamese, governed a kingdom called “Nam Viet” encompassing parts of what is now Guangdong in southern China as well as the northern portion of what is now Vietnam. Chinese Domination and Vietnamese Rebellion (111 BC–939 AD) In 111 BC, Chinese troops invaded Nam Viet, established new territories and installed Chinese officials to govern the area, except for portions of the highlands where some of the original Vietnamese nobles managed to retain control. Chinese domination of the region continued for a thousand years, interrupted periodically by Vietnamese revolts. In 40 AD, the Trung Sisters led a successful rebellion against the Chinese, recapturing much of northern Vietnam. When one of the sisters proclaimed herself Queen, the Chinese Emperor sent a large army to quell the revolt. After a long, difficult campaign, the Chinese suppressed the uprising in 43 AD and the Trung Sisters committed suicide to avoid capture. Ever since, the sisters have been revered in Vietnam as exemplars of sacrificial service to the nation.

  • Nashville Community Theatre: from the Little Theatre Guild
    NASHVILLE COMMUNITY THEATRE: FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD TO THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE A THESIS IN Theatre History Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri – Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS by ANDREA ANDERSON B.A., Trevecca Nazarene University, 2003 Kansas City, Missouri 2012 © 2012 ANDREA JANE ANDERSON ALL RIGHTS RESERVED THE LITTLE THEATRE MOVEMENT IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: THE LITTLE THEATRE GUILD AND THE NASHVILLE COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE Andrea Jane Anderson, Candidate for the Master of Arts Degree University of Missouri - Kansas City, 2012 ABSTRACT In the early 20th century the Little Theatre Movement swept through the United States. Theatre enthusiasts in cities and towns across the country sought to raise the standards of theatrical productions by creating quality volunteer-driven theatre companies that not only entertained, but also became an integral part of the local community. This paper focuses on two such groups in the city of Nashville, Tennessee: the Little Theatre Guild of Nashville (later the Nashville Little Theatre) and the Nashville Community Playhouse. Both groups shared ties to the national movement and showed a dedication for producing the most current and relevant plays of the day. In this paper the formation, activities, and closure of both groups are discussed as well as their impact on the current generation of theatre artists. iii APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, have examined a thesis titled “Nashville Community Theatre: From the Little Theatre Guild to the Nashville Community Playhouse,” presented by Andrea Jane Anderson, candidate for the Master of Arts degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • Crossing Cultural, National, and Racial Boundaries: Portraits of Diplomats and the Pre-Colonial French-Cochinchinese Exchange, 1787-1863
    CROSSING CULTURAL, NATIONAL, AND RACIAL BOUNDARIES: PORTRAITS OF DIPLOMATS AND THE PRE-COLONIAL FRENCH-COCHINCHINESE EXCHANGE, 1787-1863 Ashley Bruckbauer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Art. Chapel Hill 2013 Approved by: Mary D. Sheriff Lyneise Williams Wei-Cheng Lin © 2013 Ashley Bruckbauer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY BRUCKBAUER: Crossing Cultural, National, and Racial Boundaries: Portraits of Diplomats and the pre-colonial French-Cochinchinese Exchange, 1787-1863 (Under the direction of Dr. Mary D. Sheriff) In this thesis, I examine portraits of diplomatic figures produced between two official embassies from Cochinchina to France in 1787 and 1863 that marked a pre- colonial period of increasing contact and exchange between the two Kingdoms. I demonstrate these portraits’ departure from earlier works of diplomatic portraiture and French depictions of foreigners through a close visual analysis of their presentation of the sitters. The images foreground the French and Cochinchinese diplomats crossing cultural boundaries of costume and customs, national boundaries of loyalty, and racial boundaries of blood. By depicting these individuals as mixed or hybrid, I argue that the works both negotiated and complicated eighteenth- and nineteenth-century divides between “French” and “foreign.” The portraits’ shifting form and function reveal France’s vacillating attitudes towards and ambivalent foreign policies regarding pre-colonial Cochinchina, which were based on an evolving French imagining of this little-known “Other” within the frame of French Empire. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the support and guidance of several individuals.
