  • ABSTRACT ROBERTS, STACY NICHOLE. How We Have Forgotten
    ABSTRACT ROBERTS, STACY NICHOLE. How We Have Forgotten: Chemical Strawberries and Their Archived Alternatives in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. (Under the direction of Dr. Matthew Morse Booker.) This thesis tracks the history of commercial strawberry production for urban markets from the market revolution of the early nineteenth century through the turn of the twenty-first century. Strawberries are currently one of the most chemically-dependent and intervened-in fresh foods on the market. Yet most Americans perceive them as natural, healthy and wholesome, a belief that belies the enormous apparatus constructed for the fruits’ production. Strawberries’ environmentally expensive production methods have trapped growers, horticultural scientists, and ag-business leaders in a system that is near impossible to escape. It has left them searching for solutions to a series of technological crises that threaten to undo the industry; namely, the phasing out and cancelling of important synthetic chemicals deemed necessary for successful strawberry harvests. By delving into the archives of strawberry farming’s past and teasing apart the term “industrial” into its five component elements—distant markets, division of wage labor, product standardization, expert intervention, and cooperative marketing—this project attempts to understand why and how the current method of strawberry production came about and what alternatives existed in the past. Most importantly, the following narrative demonstrates that synthetic pesticides are only a part of the problem. They comprise a technology that when plugged into an established industrial process, make that system run more efficiently. By understanding how American food production has changed over time and why farmers, scientists, and ag-business leaders chose the current path, we can make informed critiques and suggestions for how to improve the system.

  • Nobility in Middle English Romance
    Nobility in Middle English Romance Marianne A. Fisher A dissertation submitted for the degree of PhD Cardiff University 2013 Summary of Thesis: Postgraduate Research Degrees Student ID Number: 0542351 Title: Miss Surname: Fisher First Names: Marianne Alice School: ENCAP Title of Degree: PhD (English Literature) Full Title of Thesis Nobility in Middle English Romance Student ID Number: 0542351 Summary of Thesis Medieval nobility was a compound and fluid concept, the complexity of which is clearly reflected in the Middle English romances. This dissertation examines fourteen short verse romances, grouped by story-type into three categories. They are: type 1: romances of lost heirs (Degaré, Chevelere Assigne, Sir Perceval of Galles, Lybeaus Desconus, and Octavian); type 2: romances about winning a bride (Floris and Blancheflour, The Erle of Tolous, Sir Eglamour of Artois, Sir Degrevant, and the Amis– Belisaunt plot from Amis and Amiloun); type 3: romances of impoverished knights (Amiloun’s story from Amis and Amiloun, Sir Isumbras, Sir Amadace, Sir Cleges, and Sir Launfal). The analysis is based on contextualized close reading, drawing on the theories of Pierre Bourdieu. The results show that Middle English romance has no standard criteria for defining nobility, but draws on the full range on contemporary opinion; understandings of nobility conflict both between and within texts. Ideological consistency is seldom a priority, and the genre apparently serves neither a single socio-political agenda, nor a single socio-political group. The dominant conception of nobility in each romance is determined by the story-type. Romance type 1 presents nobility as inherent in the blood, type 2 emphasizes prowess and force of will, and type 3 concentrates on virtue.

  • Italian Titles of Nobility
    11/8/2020 Italian Titles of Nobility - A Concise, Accurate Guide to Nobiliary History, Tradition and Law in Italy until 1946 - Facts, no… Italian Titles of Nobility See also: Sicilian Heraldry & Nobility • Sicilian Genealogy • Books • Interview ©1997 – 2015 Louis Mendola Author's Note An article of this length can be little more than a precis. Apart from the presentation of the simplest facts, the author's intent is to provide accurate information, avoiding the bizarre ideas that color the study of the aristocracy. At best, this web page is a ready reference that offers a quick overview and a very concise bibliography; it is intended as nothing more. This page is published for the benefit of the historian, genealogist, heraldist, researcher or journalist – and all scientific freethinkers – in search of an objective, unbiased summary that does not seek (or presume) to insult their knowledge, intelligence or integrity. The study of the nobility and heraldry simply cannot exist without a sound basis in genealogical science. Genealogy is the only means of demonstrating familial lineage (ancestry), be it proven through documentation or DNA, be it aristocratic or humble. At 300 pages, the book Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry considers the subject in far greater detail over several chapters, and while its chief focus is the Kingdom of Sicily, it takes into account the Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) as well. That book includes chapters dedicated to, among other things, historiography, feudal law and proof standards. Like this web page, the book (you can peruse the table of contents, index and a few pages on Amazon's site) is the kind of reference and guide the author wishes were available when he began to study these fields seriously over thirty years ago.

  • Eurovista Special Issue All Texts
    From the Editors This is the first new issue of EuroVista to be freely available online. As anticipated in earlier editorials, from now on whole issues and/or individual articles may be downloaded without charge from the EuroVista website (http://www.euro-vista.org/). This includes those back issues that before only were available on the website behind a paywall. We are grateful to the CEP, that has made this possible. The main reason for this change is to make the journal more easily accessible and therefore, we hope and expect, much more widely read. Do please tell all your friends and colleagues the good news! And what a start we have for this new formula! This issue has been compiled and edited by a member of our Editorial Board, Dr Beth Weaver, University of Strathclyde, Scotland. As she writes in her introduction, we believe this to be the first journal ever to devote an entire issue to contributions made by people who have desisted from offending, some of whom may indeed describe themselves as in a continuing process of desistance. People who have committed crimes have usually been treated as subjects of research and sometimes even as its objects, but their own voice has not often been easy to hear. This issue, by contrast, includes writings by people from a large number of countries who set out a diverse range of accounts of and reflections on their own experiences. About the only thing they all have in common is that they have been convicted of offences and are now or have been on a journey towards ways of living in which offending has no place.

Stephens 2016 Dedication To those of us who do not hesitate to take the long and winding road, who are stars in someone else’s sky, and who walk the hillside in the sweet summer sun. ii [Type text] [Type text] Acknowledgements I owe my deep gratitude to many people whose intellectual, emotional, and financial support made my journey possible. Without Dr. T., Eric, Jay, and Maryanne, my academic career would have never begun and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities they gave me. At Michigan, guidance in negotiating the administrative side of the PhD given by Kathleen and Michelle has been invaluable, and I have treasured the conversations I have had with them and Terre, Diana, and Molly about gardening and travelling. The network of gardeners at Project Grow has provided me with hundreds of hours of joy and a respite from the stress of the academy. I owe many thanks to my fellow graduate students, not only for attending the brown bags and Three Field Talks I gave that helped shape this project, but also for their astute feedback, wonderful camaraderie, and constant support over our many years together. Due particular recognition for reading chapters, lengthy discussions, office friendships, and hours of good company are the following: Michael McOsker, Karen Acton, Beth Platte, Trevor Kilgore, Patrick Parker, Anna Whittington, Gene Cassedy, Ryan Hughes, Ananda Burra, Tim Hart, Matt Naglak, Garrett Ryan, and Ellen Cole Lee.

DOI: 6 The Italian Aristocracy, the Savoy Monarchy, and Fascism JENS PETERSEN What political role did the aristocracy play in the early decades of a unified Italy? Researchers are widely divided in their opin- ions on this question. They range from the rose-tinted view of Arno Mayer, who regarded the ancien regi,me nobility as still at the core of Italy's social and political system, to opinions that speak of a rapid and unstoppable decline. 1 Although aristocratic values continued to shape the path of upward mobility for the middle classes, nobility as such did not play an important role in the Italian nineteenth-century social structure, because it did not constitute a well-defined group in itself, due to its regional more than national status.

  • The Development of Film Criticism in South Africa in the 1920S and 1930S
    9820 ASM Film Critisism in CT.FH11 Mon Apr 11 11:18:57 2005 Page 1 C M Y CM MY CY CMY K This book examines the development of film criticism in Cape Towns daily press from 1928 to 1930, using film reviews from the newspapers the Cape Times and Die Burger. The character of film criticism in the period under discussion is explained by describing the general function of film criticism as well as comparing the local with the international film press. The basis for the comparative analysis is a list of films screened in three selected cinemas in Cape Town. Part of the analysis is an empirical study to examine the quantitative development of film reviews and a qualitative part, analyzing the content of selected film reviews. This book demonstrates that newspapers are the most valuable source for research concerning early South African film history. The existing standard reference, Thelma Gutsches The History and Social Significance of Motion Pictures in South Africa 1895-1940 can be fruitfully complemented by using Afrikaans newspapers, as well as Hans Rompels book Die Bioskoop in Diens van die Volk and other writings by this influential Afrikaner film critic. Michael Eckardt (*1974) studied Cultural, Media and Communication Studies in Weimar (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Durban and Stellenbosch (South Africa), gaining a degree in Cultural- and Media Studies from Bauhaus-University Weimar (Diplomkulturwissenschaftler) and graduated as Master of Philosophy (Journalism) at Stellenbosch University. His PhD-project aims to investigate the reception of Weimar Republic cinema in South Africa in the period 1928-1933. Michael Eckardt is a visiting scholar at Stellenbosch and Goettingen University.
