Sources of the names of these islands are compiled in this study with the help of related work. Investiga- tion of the sources of the island names has made it possible to obtain information about the geographical char- acteristics of the countries and islands, important geographical discoveries and native people and colony move- ments. The countries and islands in Oceania were generally named by European explorers who organized expe- ditions to these areas, by colonists or by the natives of the islands. Names of many countries and islands in Oce- ania carry the trace of colonialism since the majority of the islands were named after the explorers, the home- lands of the explorers, European statesmen or exploration ships.

    EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY EXPRESSIONS OF SOVEREIGNTY: LAW AND AUTHORITY IN THE MAKING OF THE OVERSEAS BRITISH EMPIRE, 1576-1640 By KENNETH RICHARD MACMILLAN, M.A. A Thesis . Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University ©Copyright by Kenneth Richard MacMillan, December 2001 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2001) McMaster University (History) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640 AUTHOR: Kenneth Richard MacMillan, B.A. (Hons) (Nipissing University) M.A. (Queen's University) SUPERVISOR: Professor J.D. Alsop NUMBER OF PAGES: xi, 332 11 ABSTRACT .~. ~ This thesis contributes to the body of literature that investigates the making of the British empire, circa 1576-1640. It argues that the crown was fundamentally involved in the establishment of sovereignty in overseas territories because of the contemporary concepts of empire, sovereignty, the royal prerogative, and intemationallaw. According to these precepts, Christian European rulers had absolute jurisdiction within their own territorial boundaries (internal sovereignty), and had certain obligations when it carne to their relations with other sovereign states (external sovereignty). The crown undertook these responsibilities through various "expressions of sovereignty". It employed writers who were knowledgeable in international law and European overseas activities, and used these interpretations to issue letters patent that demonstrated both continued royal authority over these territories and a desire to employ legal codes that would likely be approved by the international community. The crown also insisted on the erection of fortifications and approved of the publication of semiotically charged maps, each of which served the function of showing that the English had possession and effective control over the lands claimed in North and South America, the North Atlantic, and the East and West Indies.

    HOORN – KAP HOORN Hoorn als Weltstadt Hoorn als eine Weltstadt zu bezeichnen klingt ein wenig verrückt, aber Hoorn hat auch am anderen Ende der Welt seine Spuren hinterlassen. Im Jahr 1615 begab sich der Kaufmann Jacob Le Marie mit seinem Kapitän Willem Cornelisz.Schouten auf die Suche nach einem unbekannten Kontinent (Terra Australis, das unbekannte Südland) und einem neuen Seeweg nach Indien. Diese Reise brachte sie in die lebensgefährlichen Gewässer am südlichsten Punkt von Südamerika, wo es durchschnittlich an 200 Tagen im Jahr stürmt und Wellen von 8 Metern keine Seltenheit sind. Diese südlichste Landspitze wurde „Kap Hoorn“ genannt. Zu Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts war für die niederländische Der Name deutete auf das primäre Zielgebiet: das große Seeschifffahrt das Befahren der damals bekannten Seewege Südland, welches sich nach Ansicht der führenden Geografen nach Asien (rund um das Kap der guten Hoffnung oder durch südlich von den drei Ozeanen be nden sollte.

Our journeys, through the fjords of both Chilean and Argentine Patagonia, allow our travelling guests the chance to witness some truly exceptional landscapes, natural wonders and wildlife alike. Whether that’s the Pia Glacier, Wulaia Bay or perhaps following in the footsteps of Darwin on the Tucker Islands, each Australis cruise is filled with one exciting sight after another on both land and sea, hiking to see colonies of Magellan Penguins, nesting Cormorants and so much more. This connection with the landscape and its wild inhabitants has led Australis to form a unique partnership with not just the wildlife, but also scientific communities and groups keen on preserving the natural world, protecting species and enforcing ambitious environmental policies across the region 3 AUSTRALIS: A CHILEAN COMPANY COMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Australis S.A.

  • From Paradise Lost to Promised Land: Christianity and the Rise of West
    School of History & Politics & Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) University of Wollongong From Paradise Lost to Promised Land Christianity and the Rise of West Papuan Nationalism Susanna Grazia Rizzo A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) of the University of Wollongong 2004 “Religion (…) constitutes the universal horizon and foundation of the nation’s existence. It is in terms of religion that a nation defines what it considers to be true”. G. W. F. Hegel, Lectures on the of Philosophy of World History. Abstract In 1953 Aarne Koskinen’s book, The Missionary Influence as a Political Factor in the Pacific Islands, appeared on the shelves of the academic world, adding further fuel to the longstanding debate in anthropological and historical studies regarding the role and effects of missionary activity in colonial settings. Koskinen’s finding supported the general view amongst anthropologists and historians that missionary activity had a negative impact on non-Western populations, wiping away their cultural templates and disrupting their socio-economic and political systems. This attitude towards mission activity assumes that the contemporary non-Western world is the product of the ‘West’, and that what the ‘Rest’ believes and how it lives, its social, economic and political systems, as well as its values and beliefs, have derived from or have been implanted by the ‘West’. This postulate has led to the denial of the agency of non-Western or colonial people, deeming them as ‘history-less’ and ‘nation-less’: as an entity devoid of identity. But is this postulate true? Have the non-Western populations really been passive recipients of Western commodities, ideas and values? This dissertation examines the role that Christianity, the ideology of the West, the religion whose values underlies the semantics and structures of modernisation, has played in the genesis and rise of West Papuan nationalism.

  • When the Two Species of Nectocarcinus Were Collected at The
    60 Transactions—BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES VOL. 12 When the two species of Nectocarcinus were collected at the Auckland Islands in January, 1963, it was noted that at no time wTere they taken together in the same trawl haul. A7. bennetti was taken between 10 and 15 fathoms at three localities in or just outside Port Ross, from bottoms of sand, dead shell and red algae, while N. antarcticus was taken between 14 and 15 fathoms at one locality in the same area from a bottom of abundant, finger-like sponges and some Macrocystis kelp. The following decapods were taken in association with these portunids: the cancrid crab Cancer novaezelandiae (Jacquinot), the hermit crab Pagurus sp. and the crangonid shrimp Pontophilus pilosoides Stephensen with N. stephensoni; the majid crab Leptomithrax australis (Jacquinot), the hymenosomatid crab Halicarcinus planatus (Fabricius) and the squat lobster Galathea pusilla Henderson with N. antarcticus. The hippolytid shrimp Nauticaris marionis Bate occurred with both species. A surprising feature amongst material of N. antarcticus from Cook Strait north- wards is the occasional occurrence of extremely small ovigerous females. Specimens examined can be listed with their respective carapace widths as follows: Colville Channel (26fms), 12.0mm, 14.4mm; Off East Cape (70fms), 29.4mm; between Foxton and Wanganui (50fms), 10.5mm (smallest ovig. 2, see Griffin and Yald- wyn, 1965), and Tasman Bay (45-55fms), 13.6mm. At one stage it was suspected that these small ovigerous females might represent a different species. We can, however, find no consistent differences between them and typical N. antarcticus. All the specimens concerned are from depths greater than 25 fathoms but too little material is available to draw any conclusions regarding bathymetric or geographic variation at present.

  • Golden Shadows on a White Land
    Introduction SHADOWS Remembering Anglo-Chinese families During the second half of the nineteenth century, hundreds of white women formed intimate relationships with Chinese men in New South Wales and Victoria. These relationships took place in Sydney, Melbourne and the bush, in towns, mining camps, and on rural properties. Some were fleeting encounters, others enduring and stable, but from both were born children whose faces reflected the differing heritage of their parents. These women, their Chinese partners and their Anglo-Chinese children farmed, mined, and ran stores and other businesses. Some were rich and lived in grand homes and owned large amounts of property, some only barely managed to scrape together an existence. Some had long, happy and prosperous lives together, while others faced tragedy, violence and poverty. Until recently, little has been known about them. They are historical subjects whose lives have remained in the shadows and on the margins. This thesis aims to throw light on those shadows by presenting the first in-depth study of intimate relationships between white women and Chinese men in the southern colonies of Australia, and of the families they formed together. Its particular focus is the colony of New South Wales (NSW), between the gold-rush years of the 1850s and the early years of the twentieth century. It explores the experiences of these mixed race families, in both southern Australia and southern China, from a variety of perspectives, examining representation and discourse as well as lived experience, across time and place. Beginning in the southern colonies of Australia in the 1850s, it travels through city and bush, into family homes and through public discourse, to finish in China in the early decades of the twentieth century.
