  • Buying, Selling, and Advertising British Luxury Imports During The
    GOT SILK?: BUYING, SELLING, AND ADVERTISING BRITISH LUXURY IMPORTS DURING THE STAMP ACT CRISIS Michele Conrady Busse, B.S. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2007 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Major Professor Marilyn Morris, Minor Professor Randolph B. Campbell, Minor Professor Andrian Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Busse, Michele Conrady, Got Silk?: Buying, Selling, and Advertising British Luxury Imports During the Stamp Act Crisis. Master of Arts (History), August 2007, 188 pp., 9 tables, 20 figures, references, 62 titles. Despite the amount of scholarship on the Stamp Act Crisis, no study has used advertisements as a main source. This study attempts to show that a valuable, objective source has been overlooked, through the quantitative analysis of 5,810 advertisements before, during and after the Stamp Act Crisis from five port cities: Boston, Charleston, Philadelphia, New York, and Portsmouth. The findings reveal the colonists’ strong connection to imported British luxury goods, and a lack of interest in American-made goods, especially before and after the boycott. Advertisements also demonstrate that the decision of many merchants to place the needs and expectations of their community before their own personal gain offered a rare economic opportunity for others. The colonists’ devotion to imports tested the strength of the boycott, especially among Boston merchants, who continued to advertise imported goods a good deal more than any other city. This lack of dedication to the boycott on the part of the Boston merchants shows disunity among the colonies, at a time when many argue was the first instance of colonial nationalism.

  • Social Science Research and Conservation Management in the Interior of Borneo Unravelling Past and Present Interactions of People and Forests
    SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH AND CONSER The Culture & Conservation Research Program in Kayan Mentarang National Park, East Kalimantan, constituted a unique interdisciplinary engagement in central Borneo that lasted for six years (1991-97). Based on original ethnographic, ecological, and historical data, this volume comprehensively describes the people and the environment of this region and makes MANAGEMENT VATION IN THE INTERIOR OF BORNEO a rare contribution to the understanding of past and present interactions between people and forests in central Borneo. Kayan Mentarang has thus become one of the ethnographically best known protected areas in Southeast Asia. By pointing at the interface between research and forest management, this book offers tools for easing the antagonism between applied and scholarly research, and building much needed connections across fields of knowledge.

  • A Pseudonym on the Internet, an Anthroponym with a Multidimensional Status
    A pseudonym on the internet, an anthroponym with a multidimensional status In civil society, anthroponymy sets the social being within a group. More precisely, their patronymic or matronymic is used to position them along a genealogical line, whereas their first name is a means to identify them within the family group. So what can be said about the social being‟s identity in the context of digital society? In order to join discussion forums or chat- rooms, the internet user has to choose a pseudonym, the origins of which stem from various sources – the person‟s private life, cultural objects, individual traits etc. However, using a pseudonym on the Web is not done for the sole purpose of naming an individual. Thus, in the course of a follow-up communication to the on-line publication of newspaper articles or while discussing a given theme in a forum, the nomen falsum (or„false name‟) chosen by the user can be laden with meaning - antagonism, emotion etc. This multidimensional status of a pseudonym on the Internet will be examined using various examples taken from newspapers‟on-line editions as well as discussion forums. Other questions arise from this observation. If a pseudonym is used for naming or protesting, does this not mean that its purpose is to express what cannot be said within civil society? Is this not a confusion between private and public space? And if so, what are the reasons? Finally, does digital society not stand as an opposing force to civil society? 1. Anthroponymy as taxonomic procedure Number of myths mentions the birth of the organized universe as arising from chaos.

  • New Light on the Recorder and Flageolet in Colonial North America and the United States, 1700-1840, from Newspaper Advertisements!
    New Light on the Recorder and Flageolet in Colonial North America and the United States, 1700-1840, From Newspaper Advertisements! DAVID LASOCKI Advertisements in early newspapers were the chief source of revenue for such publications, as has been the case from the beginning to the present day.... The publisher of the New York Evening Post, in its issue of December 1, 1803, concisely stated the case for his fellow craftsmen, to cover a period of two cen­ turies: "Subscriptions alone, allowing them to be quadruple to what were ever known in this city, would not support a newspaper establishment; and, in fact, it is the advertiser who provides the paper for the subscriber." It is the adver­ tisements, furthermore, that provide the local color, and enable the historian to reconstruct the picture of a community far more than all the reading mat­ ter in the so-called news. 2 The recent availability of facsimile databases of newspapers has made it possible to do research in a few weeks, sitting at home, that would have formerly taken several years of visits to libraries and archives.3 Having l. "Colonial North America" is of course a broader term than the territory that is now the United States; the early history of duct flutes in Canada and Mexico, not to mention the rest of Latin America, remains to be researched. To save space, initial articles of newspaper names have been removed. Page numbers are omitted in the citations, because the newspapers are short enough to enable the adver­ tisements to be found readily without them.
