  • Expressions of Sovereignty: Law and Authority in the Making of the Overseas British Empire, 1576-1640
    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.

  • Competition Elective Essay
    Migrating Landscapes: from local vernacular to new typologies Renée Kuehnle 20203101 [email protected] 1 Competition Brief: http://migratinglandscapes.ca/competition/requirements Design Brief: When people migrate, they bring with them cultural memories of a place, and unique cultural heritages, which affect one’s identity and inform one’s values. These migrated memories, either from another place or another time, transform as they settle into new contexts. New memories are forged, through processes of layering, erasure and juxtaposition, as the migrated memories negotiate with the unfamiliar in the context of new landscapes and architectural environments. In this sense, one never really settles or unsettles, and the resulting built form is neither of the former nor of the present. Instead, unique forms of un/settlement result that resonate with both local conditions and one’s own migrated cultural memories. The Migrating Landscapes Competition invites young Canadian architects and designers to reflect on their cultural migration experiences and un/settling encounters and to design dwellings – in a sense, first acts of settlement - onto the new landscape designed by MLO. This new landscape is an abstract assembly made of wooden modules and contestants are invited to act as its first immigrants. The act of constructing the first dwellings will be enactments of first immigration onto this abstract landscape. The dwellings and the landscape will together form both the regional exhibitions and the exhibition in Venice, providing a unique view into Canada’s past, present and future. Video: Narrative A monologue video in which the entrant talks about: • Intentions and ideas of the construct; specific resonances to the migration story.

  • The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and Its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery”
    The Fogo Island Cooperative Society and its Workers: Lessons from the Fishery” by Judy and Larry Haiven, Saint Mary's University for the Symposium “The Co-operative and its Workers” June 15-17, 2006 Introduction This story plays itself out against the background of an industry and a province torn by economic crisis. Fogo is the largest of the smaller islands of Newfoundland, found off the northeast coast. It is approximately 254 sq km (approximately 15 x 15 km if the island were an exact square). The current population is 2800; the population before the collapse of the cod fishery in 1992 was almost twice that. The story of the Fogo Island Cooperative Society began in 1967 while the cod fishery was still viable, but first a bit of history just for context. Tradition from the 15th to the 19th century was that small groups of fisher people (English and Irish with a smattering of Portuguese, Basque and French) would set up a village in a friendly cove where they would fish the sea (primarily of the more-than-plentiful cod) and live very independently. Most of the fishing was close to shore, hence the “inshore fishery.” When the cove and the land surrounding it proved too small to provide for the growing community, a group would pick up and move to another location. Thus emerged a series of small fishing villages strung out along the rocky coastline, which, depending on how closely you track all of the inlets and headlands, is as “short” as 9,000 km or as long as 17,000 km.

  • Introduction Since Time Immemorial, Human Beings Have Used Narrative
    Chapter 1 – Introduction Since time immemorial, human beings have used narrative to help us make sense of our experience of life. From the fireside to the theatre, from the television and silver screen to the more recent manifestations of the virtual world, we have used storytelling as a means of providing structure, order, and coherence to what can otherwise appear an overwhelming infinity of random, unrelated events. In ordering the perceived chaos of the world around us into a structure we can grasp, narrative provides insight and understanding not only of events themselves, but on a more fundamental level, of the very essence of what it means to live as a human being. As the primary means by which historical writing is organized, narrative has attracted a large body of historians and philosophers who have grappled with its impact on our understanding of the past. Underlying their work is the tension between historical writing as a reflection of what took place in the past, and the essence of narrative as a creative, imaginative act. The very structure of Aristotelian narrative, with its causal link between events, its clearly defined beginning, middle and end, its promise of catharsis, its theme or moral, reflects an act of imagination on the part of its author. While an effective narrative first and foremost strives to draw us into its world of story and keep us there until the ending, the primary goal of historical writing, in theory at least, is to increase our understanding about the past. While these two goals are not inherently incompatible, they do not always work in concert.

Learning about our own part of the earth can help us get a better understanding of the world at large. Much of the information now available about our province is aimed at young readers and people with at least a high school education. The Hitch-Hiker is intended to provide information which beginning adult readers can read and understand. This work has a special feature we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy. Many of the places written about in this book are seen through the eyes of an adult learner and other fictional characters. These characters were created to help add a touch of reality to the printed page. We hope the characters and the things they learn and talk about also give the reader a better understanding of our province. Above all, we hope this book challenges your curiosity and encourages you to search for more information about our land. Don McDonald Director of Programs and Services Newfoundland and Labrador Literacy Development Council ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I wish to thank the many people who so kindly and eagerly helped me during the production of this book.

Taylor, B.R. Bauld, R.J. Wiseman, W.J. Walsh, J. D. Pratt, L.G. Riche, and C.A. Whalen. General: Discussion of the 1974-75 budget took up almost all the meeting time. Generally speaking, the Branch budget for 1974-75 is not substantially greater than that of the past fiscal year. The general concensus expressed was that some "belt-tightening" would be required by all Groups if we are to keep our operations within budgetory limits. Meetings! On January 3, 1974 an informal meeting was held in Building 302 between representatives of the Branch and H. Lear and R. Payne of the St. John's Biological Station to discuss the agenda and format of the forthcoming Program Working Party on Atlantic Anadromous Fish to be tentatively held during April 23-25 in St. John's. Representing the Branch were V.R. Taylor, J.D. Pratt, R.J. Wiseman, and D. Waldron. R.J. Wiseman, C.A. Whalen, M. Farwell, and L. Coady of the Branch attended the 27th Annual Meeting of the C.C.F.F.R. held in Ottawa during January 7-8, 1974.

  • Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region
    Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region May 2013 Prepared by: Janelle Skeard, Jen Daniels, Ryan Gibson and Kelly Vodden Department of Geography, Memorial University Introduction The Kittiwake/Gander – New-Wes-Valley region is located on the north eastern coast of the Island portion of Newfoundland and Labrador. This region is delineated by the Regional Economic Development Zone (Kittiwake) and the provincial Rural Secretariat region (Gander – New-Wes -Valley) (Figure 1), which have closely overlapping jurisdictions. The region consists of approximately 119 communities, spanning west to Lewisporte, east to Charlottetown, and north to Fogo Island (see Figure 1). Most of these communities are located in coastal areas and are considered to be rural in nature. Only six communities within the region have a population of over 2,000, with Gander being the largest community and the primary service centre for the Kittiwake region. Approximately 20 percent of the regional population resides in the Town of Gander (Rural Secretariat, 2013). The region also encompasses three inhabited islands that are accessible only by ferry: Fogo Island, Change Islands, and St. Brendan's (KEDC, 2007, p.2). Figure 1. Map of Kittiwake/Gander-New-Wes-Valley Region Figure 1: Gander – New-Wes Valley (Map Credit: C. Conway 2008) Regional Profile of the Kittiwake Region Page 2 of 14 Brief History The region’s history is vast. Many of its communities have their own diverse histories, which collectively paint a picture of the past. Aboriginal occupation is the first noted settlement in many parts of the region. Research suggests that 5,000 years ago, what we now call Bonavista Bay was inhabited by Aboriginal peoples who benefited from the region’s abundance of resources such as seal, salmon and caribou.

  • The US Army Air Forces in WWII
    DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.
