Signed: Dated: RECOGNISING THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE GOLLIWOGG 3 Abstract The Golliwogg first entered childhood imaginations as a character in the Upton picture book, The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls, 1895. Florence Upton’s own childhood toys, an old black doll and five wooden dolls became the inspiration for this first picture book. The success of this picture book led to the creation of other Golliwogg narratives for children from 1895 to 1909. This character became the first black protagonist in English picture books. Golliwogg narratives invited children to enter a world not their own; to identify with new characters and experiences that would awaken their imaginations. Thereby, Upton appeared to instinctively know that the child’s imagination could be enriched through picture books - the combination of word and image. The Golliwogg narratives were published in what has been referred to as the golden age of children’s books, the period of the latter half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Upton’s contribution to children’s literature has been significant, yet she has not been recognised in the same manner as her contemporaries Caldecott, Crane and Greenaway. There is little correct published information about the much loved childhood character, Golliwogg, and his original identity has been misrepresented by subsequent childhood authors. In fact, a tension exists in our contemporary world in relation to the identity of the Golliwogg. These misrepresentations of the Golliwogg have led to him being labelled as a racist and politically incorrect image, due to his original character being caricatured. This change reflects the different social conditions under which many people appropriated the Upton Golliwogg and used his name and image in ways that reflected racism. However, the Upton Golliwogg was a character who brought a new RECOGNISING THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE GOLLIWOGG 4 kind of spiritual presence to childhood literature. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to reclaim the Upton Golliwogg as a spiritual character. This research study is located within broader research that has examined how spiritual nurturing in children may be addressed through the use of picture books. Spirituality is defined in this research as an individual’s relatedness or connectedness to oneself, others, and the world and beyond and this understanding has been applied to and understood as Golliwogg’s spirituality. Implicit in this research study was the notion that Golliwogg’s spirituality was communicated to children as a way of being in the world. Rhetorical narrative criticism and a visual analysis of picture books were used to investigate the spiritual qualities of the Golliwogg in the Upton stories. This methodology was also applied to Golliwogg stories by other childhood authors where the image and identity of the Golliwogg was often changed from the original character. The main findings from this research study identified two themes: freedom and a paradoxical way of being which were, both, further identified as spiritual traits thereby claiming the Golliwogg as a spiritual character. He invited children to embrace all of life’s experiences by drawing them into various adventures and creating characters with whom children could identify, thereby providing the potential to nurture their spirituality. His key spiritual qualities of kind-heartedness and imagination were legitimate ways of knowing and being in the world. A further finding from this research study pointed to the potential of picture books being a valuable resource to nurture children’s spirituality. RECOGNISING THE SPIRITUALITY OF THE GOLLIWOGG 5 Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to all the people who have supported and encouraged me throughout this research study. Firstly, I would like to thanks my principal supervisor, Dr Marian de Souza for her expertise, companionship and guidance over many years. Dr de Souza’s own research in the area of spirituality has been invaluable. I also wish to thank my co-supervisors, Professor Peta Goldburg and Dr Patricia Cartwright, for their insight, knowledge and encouragement.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England

Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.

  • Rescue Black Americana by Iyaba Ibo Mandingo to Be Black in This World Is to Know Firsthand Some Sort of Stereotype About You As a Hu- Man Being
    Rescue Black Americana by Iyaba Ibo Mandingo To be Black in this world is to know firsthand some sort of stereotype about you as a Hu- man Being. They permeate every aspect of our lives from local colloquialisms to genera- tional assumptions. All of it can be traced back to the begin- ning of Europe’s domination of the planet following the age of exploration. Europeans were quick to usurp the ideas and natural resources of the black world while at the same time repudiating the people. Colonization brought with it the need to justify the barbaric treatment of the native people encountered and in many cases, destroyed. The King James bible was probably the first piece of propaganda used. Europeans used passages that spoke of slaves and masters to explain the new conditions they were forcing upon everyone and every place they encoun- tered. America emerged from this age of colonization/imperialism to become the leader of the new age, and she like Europe rose to power on the treasures of Africa, her minerals and her people. Europe was able to step cleanly into the 20th century without the shadow of slavery walking her streets daily, because they were securely tucked away in colonies around the planet, in the Caribbean and in Asia. America had to deal with her now freed Africans, and her failure to transition from slavery to freedom, as promised by the Reconstructions laws after the civil war that made them freedmen. Reconstruction failed and with the withdrawal of the northern army, many if not all the rights gained by freedman were eradicated, with the help of the newly formed kkk.

The idea of passing relied on the notion that there was an authentic racial self that one was concealing. The mulatta represents assimilation, the end of blackness, and the end of the discussion on racism. Elia Kazan’s 1949 “problem film” Pinky, based on the novel Quality, in many ways embodies the traditional passing narrative. Danzy Senna’s 1998 novel Caucasia, on the other hand, acts as both a testimony of the lived experiences of being multiracial and critique of the rigidity of racial categories in the United States. Senna argues that race is more performative than biological. By centering on a racially mixed young woman and her family, Caucasia complicates and deconstructs the black/white binary and challenges multicultural theory.

  • The Social Life of Slurs
    The Social Life of Slurs Geoff Nunberg School of Information, UC Berkeley Jan. 22, 2016 To appear in Daniel Fogal, Daniel Harris, and Matt Moss (eds.) (2017): New Work on Speech Acts (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press). Chaque mot a son histoire. —Jules Gilliéron A Philological Caution The Emergence of Slurs We wear two hats when we talk about slurs, as engaged citizens and as scholars of language. The words had very little theoretical interest for philosophy or linguistic semantics before they took on a symbolic role in the culture wars that broke out in and around the academy in the 1980s.1 But once scholars’ attention was drawn to the topic, they began to discern connections to familiar problems in meta-ethics, semantics, and the philosophy of language. The apparent dual nature of the words—they seem both to describe and to evaluate or express— seemed to make them an excellent test bed for investigations of non-truth-conditional aspects of meaning, of certain types of moral language, of Fregean “coloring,” and of hybrid or “thick” terms, among other things. There are some writers who take slurs purely as a topical jumping-off point for addressing those issues and don’t make any explicit effort to bring their discussions back to the social questions that drew scholars’ attention to the words in the first place. But most seem to feel that their research ought to have some significance beyond the confines of the common room. That double perspective can leave us a little wall-eyed, as we try to track slurs as both a social and linguistic phenomenon.

  • Wog Zombie the De- and Re-Humanisation of Migrants, from Mad Dogs to Cyborgs NIKOS PAPASTERGIADIS
    wog zombie The De- and Re-Humanisation of Migrants, from Mad Dogs to Cyborgs NIKOS PAPASTERGIADIS There are now two paradigms that are used to explain the effects of migration and provide categories for defining the agency of the migrant. Since the late nineteenth century the sociological and political discourse on migration has followed the core assumptions of nationalist ideologies that defined sovereign states as comprising a population that was both settled within a defined territory and in possession of a unique cultural identity. This view- point was also premised on a metaphysical claim that the abandonment of a nomadic lifestyle for fixed settlement was a developmental stage in human evolution. It was also framed by a mechanistic understanding of the negative relationship between movement and equil- ibrium: human movement was thereby seen as a depletion of energy as well as a threat to the integrity of borders and the stability of social entities. Hence, migration was con- sidered a deviation from the normal conventions of settled life, and the migrants (or as Oscar Handlin termed them, the ‘uprooted ones’), were at best seen as the victims of external forces or at worst perceived as suspect characters that sought unfair advantage over the residents and posed a threat to the prevailing social order.1 This tendency is also evident in socio- logical accounts of migration that express overt sympathy for the needs of migrants but then describe them as ‘people with problems’.2 Even when migration has been acknowledged as a crucial
