During the first three decades of the twentieth century, Japanese society underwent significant changes in a short amount of time. After the intense modernizations of the late nineteenth century, the start of the twentieth century witnessed an increase in overseas militarism, turbulent domestic politics, an evolving middle class, and the expansion of roles for women to play outside the home. As such, the early decades of the twentieth century in Japan were a crucial period for the formation of modern ideas about femininity and womanhood. Before, during, and after the rule of her husband Emperor Taishō (1879-1926; r. 1912-1926), Empress Teimei held a highly public role, and was frequently seen in a variety of visual media.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2004 Supervisor: Katherine Arens This dissertation tests Benedict Anderson’s thesis about the coherence of imagined communities by tracing how Galicia, as the heart of a Polish culture in the nineteenth century that would never be an independent nation state, emerged as an historical, cultural touchstone with present day significance for the people of Europe. After the three Partitions and Poland’s complete disappearance from political maps of Europe, substitute images of Poland were sought that could replace its lost kingdom with alternate forms of national identity grounded in culture and tradition rather than in politics. Not the hereditary dynasty, not Prussia or Russia, but Galicia emerged as the imagined and representative center of a Polish culture without a state. This dissertation juxtaposes political realities with canonical literary texts that provide images of a cultural community among ethnic Germans and Poles sharing the border of Europe.

  • Social Mobility and Noble Rebellion in Early Modern Habsburg Austria1
    KARIN J. MACHARDY Social Mobility and Noble Rebellion in Early Modern 1 Habsburg Austria ABSTRACT This paper analyzes changes in the social structure of the Lower Austrian nobility in the decades before the uprising of 1618-20. The author argues that the Habsburg rulers ex.enedconsiderable injluenceon social change but were limited by structu­ ral forces, notably demographic and economic change. Nevertheless, they managed to turn events to their advantage and manipulate the transformation of the nobility 's internal structure in the hope of creating a pliable instrument of royal absolutism. The Habsburgs were less interested in creating a new nobility than in reestablishing confessional conformity, which they considered essential to strengthen their autho­ rity. However, they implemented their strategy of promoting the rise of a new Catholic upper nobility at a speed that minimized the possibility of appropriate cultural adjustmentfor Protestant nobles. Their exclusion from the benefitsof status mobility after 1609 represented an attack not only on the religion, culture, and social predominance of the Protestant nobility, but on its continued existence as an elite. This explains, the author concludes, why redefiningthe rules and channels of elite recruitment in favour of a new Catholic nobility became the focal point in the conjlict between Habsburgs and Protestant nobles. The author further suggests that the revolt of the nobility in the Austrian territories provides an excellent case study to show the complexities of social change affecting the early modern European nobility, and to reconsider the long-term social origins of early modern state breakdown. Since World War II the historiography of early modern elite opposition to central govem­ ments has been dominated by what scholars now classify as the traditional social interpre­ tation.

  • Question: Who Are the "Elite"? Answer: the Black Nobility
    Question: Who are the "elite"? Answer: The Black Nobility. Date 11-02-2021 Time 16:32:52 The black nobility is the base of the global crime syndicate that controls this planet. The black nobility or black aristocracy are the aristocratic families that sided with the papacy under Pope Pius IX after the army of the Kingdom of Italy led by the Savoy family entered Rome on September 20, 1870, overthrew the pope . and the Papal States, and took over the Quirinal Palace, and the nobles later ennobled by the Pope prior to the Lateran Treaty of 1929. Any family that produced popes for the Vatican is royalty. Most of the black nobility are Vatican royalty. The black nobility consider themselves sovereign princes. These families earned the title of "black" nobility for their relentless unscrupulousness. They used murder, rape, kidnapping, robbery and all kinds of deception on a large scale, without resisting the achievement of their objectives. The black nobility were the families that financed and created the holy corporation of the Vatican with the aim of imposing world slavery as a necessary institution, with the sole belief that some are born to rule and others to be ruled. The idea that certain families were born to rule as an arbitrary elite, while the vast majority of a given population is condemned to oppression, servitude, or slavery became the theological position of this elite. The "New World Order" is an attempt to take control of society by these fascist families with the purpose of the total slavery of humanity. The Vatican is an imperial nation and is the largest empire in this world.
