The Carolina Ordinance of Secession climaxed a chain of events stretching back forty years to the debate in Congress in 1620 on the admission of Missouri— chain of events uhich gradually transferred the Carolinians fTOm a com- munity of staunch patriots and loyal vmlonlsts into a "conscious minor- ity," and eventually into a race of fire -eating distuaionists. After 1826, whether the issue was the tariff, internal improve- ments, the sale of Western lands, or slavery, Carolina invariably waved the banner of Southern sectionalism, exhorting the other states of the cotton and tobacco kingdcmi to follow her. Too far in the vanguard of the "Southern ri^ts" movement, too extreme in her reactions to the North, at the first Carolina's leadership was repudiated by her sister states of the South. Only in the l8U0's and 50's when they too per- ceived that the real issue of the intersectlonal struggle was the sur- vival of their agrarian and slave institutions, did they follow the trsdl blazed by the Carolinians. Because sectloneiLlsm and nationalism—the forces which together constituted the "Southern rights" movement—first developed in South Carolina, and, to a great extent, spread from there to the rest of Idle South, the history of the Palmetto State during the so-called Middle 1 2 Period has been extensively studied. In his History of South Carolina David Duncan Wallace devotes more than a volione to an analysis of this era. Charles S. Sydnor's The Development of Southern Sectionalism, I8l8-l848 and Avery 0. Craven's The Growth of Southern Nationalism, l848«-l86l pay particularly close attention to developments In South Carolina. John G. Van Dusen's The Economic Bases of Disunion In South Carollna j Chauncey S. Boucher's The nullification Controversy In South Carolina i and Harold S. Schultz's Nationalism and Sectionalism In South Carolina^ 18$2-1860 are among the many special histories dealing with events in Carolina during the ante-bellum period.^ But while the pre-war history of the Palmetto State has conmanded the attention of a formidable nunber of historians > the deliberative speaking \Alch took place as part of that history has not received special attention. The precise role tdilch oratory played In the develop- ment of the doctrines of sectionalism and nationalism remains, therefore, only Imperfectly understood. The purpose of this study Is to examine this body of oratory, with a view to demonstrating how deliberative speaking In Congress, in the state legislature, and on the hustings ex- pressed and reflected these doctrines, as they developed In South ^avid Duncan Wallace, The History of South Carolina , U vols.

The answer becomes clear 'lAen we realize (l) the importance of oratory in the society of ante-bellum South Carolina and (2) one of the basic requirements which must be met if this oratory is to be interpreted correctly. In the pre-Clvll War era Carolina society was to an uncommon degree oriented toward rhetoric rather than poetic—toward poleznics rather than literature. Rosser H. Taylor observes that "taste in read- ing among [Carollniana] ran somewhat to the classics and to treatises on science, agriculture, history, philosophy, and goveimment, A few men read novels, but the educated male never boasted of his conquests in the reedm of melodramatic fiction."^ As a consequence, Carolina authors such as William Gilmore Simms, Paul Hamilton Hayne, and Henry Timrod were never widely accepted by their Carolina contemporaries. In The South Old and Hew , Francis Butler Simpkins writes that Slums was always far more popular in the North than among his own people. ^ Nor did the Carolinians support the periodicals published in the Palmetto State. Of the scores of literary magazines founded in Charleston and Columbia, only a handful survived for eus long as a year. Writing of ante-bellum Charleston publications, Taylor says, "The Impact of [the] ^Rosser H. Taylor, Mte-3Bellum South Carollnat A Cultural and Social History (Chapel Hill: Univ. of N. Carolina Press, 191^2), pp. 141-1A2. Panels Butler Simpkins, The South Old and Hew (New York: Al- fred A. Knopf, 1947 ), pp. 98-99 . 5 4 Charleston periodicals iQ)on the rank and file was slight. Circulation ."^ was limited to a narrow circle. In his History of South Caro - lina Wallace interprets the Carolinians' lack of interest in poetic forms in this way: ’’Absorbed by a strxaggle over political and economic issues of the most desperate possibilities^ [the Carolinians] cultivated the arts best suited to that circumstance”—the rhetorical arts of pub- lic speaking, journalism, and pan^ihleteering. In short, they forsook the universal and permanent of poetic ”for the blight of the contro- versial and ten^xjrary" of rhetoric. Moreover, of the various rhetorical foarms, the ante-bellum Caro- linians leaned strongly toward oral rather than written discourse. Theirs was truly a "golden age" of oratory. Hot only was speech- making a popular pastime, but it ms the primary instrument for propagat- ing the political and economic doctrines that guided the destiny of the state. Sliq[^ins writes: The most flourishing literary art of the Old South was public speech. ... It was the main weapon of defense in the contTO- versles over Southern institutions and aroused widespread popular interest. Until the rise of the military leader in 1861, the orator-politician was almost the sole hero of the Sou^. ... The South (juallfled easily in an art that required colorful personalities and extravagant speech rather than the sensitive imagination and disciplined e^qtresslon.^ Daniel Walker HOllls says of oratory in South Carolina: "No accOTiplish- ment was more highly respected. ... [Oratory] smoothed the path to Baylor, Ante-BelliAm South Carolina, p. lUl. Wallace, History of South Carolina . Ill, 56, 63. ^Slntpkins, South Old and Hew , p. 96. 5 success for the politician, and If the Carolinian contemplated a career In lav and politics, it was Imperative that he learn to speak vell."'^ Oratory, as the most favored form of communication amcnig the Carolinians, was the conmon carrier of their political, economic, and social concepts and beliefs. In extant speeches the Carolinians have left a rich repositoiry of information concerning their attitudes on the major Issues of the Middle Period and on the. nature of the society In which they lived. It seems apparent, therefore, that an adequate descrip- tion of South Carolina and her people dvirlng the ante-bellum era must take these si)eeche8 Into accotint. Especially, we must study the de- liberative speeches, slixce it Is legislative or policy-detesrminlng address rather than forensic or epldelctlc, that bears most directly on the solu- tion of public Issues and the development of a consnon way of life.

  • Contemporary Slavery and Its Definition In
    Contemporary Slavery 2 and Its Definition in Law Jean Allain Had Olaudah Equiano, Abraham Lincoln, or William Wilberforce been able to look into the future to the twenty-first century, what they may have been most struck by was not how far we had come in ending slav- ery and suppressing human exploitation but, rather, that we had yet to agree on what in fact the term “slavery” means. This is a rather intrigu- ing puzzle, as a consensus has existed for more than eighty-five years among states as to the legal definition of slavery. Yet, this definition has failed to take hold among the general public or to “speak” to those in- stitutions interested in the ending of slavery. At first blush, this is not so hard to understand since the definition, drafted in the mid-1920s by legal experts, is rather opaque and seems to hark back to a bygone era. The definition found in the 1926 Slavery Convention reads: “Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership is exercised.”1 At first sight, the definition really does not convey much to the reader, but for the fact that it appears to require that a person own another. As the ownership of one person by another has been legislated out of existence – again – it appears that this definition would have no traction in the contemporary world. Yet, this is not so since the legal definition of slavery established in 1926 has been confirmed twice: first, by being included in substance in the 1956 Supplementary Convention Contemporary Slavery

    THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET THE WORKS OF SHAKESPEARE THE TRAGEDY OF HAMLET EDITED BY EDWARD DOWDEN n METHUEN AND CO. 36 ESSEX STREET: STRAND LONDON 1899 9 5 7 7 95 —— CONTENTS PAGE Introduction ix The Tragedy of Hamlet i Appendix I. The "Travelling" of the Players. 229 Appendix II.— Some Passages from the Quarto of 1603 231 Appendix III. Addenda 235 INTRODUCTION This edition of Hamlet aims in the first place at giving a trustworthy text. Secondly, it attempts to exhibit the variations from that text which are found in the primary sources—the Quarto of 1604 and the Folio of 1623 — in so far as those variations are of importance towards the ascertainment of the text. Every variation is not recorded, but I have chosen to err on the side of excess rather than on that of defect. Readings from the Quarto of 1603 are occa- sionally given, and also from the later Quartos and Folios, but to record such readings is not a part of the design of this edition. 1 The letter Q means Quarto 604 ; F means Folio 1623. The dates of the later Quartos are as follows: —Q 3, 1605 161 1 undated 6, For ; Q 4, ; Q 5, ; Q 1637. my few references to these later Quartos I have trusted the Cambridge Shakespeare and Furness's edition of Hamlet. Thirdly, it gives explanatory notes. Here it is inevitable that my task should in the main be that of selection and condensation. But, gleaning after the gleaners, I have perhaps brought together a slender sheaf.

  • The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American
    The Woman-Slave Analogy: Rhetorical Foundations in American Culture, 1830-1900 Ana Lucette Stevenson BComm (dist.), BA (HonsI) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics I Abstract During the 1830s, Sarah Grimké, the abolitionist and women’s rights reformer from South Carolina, stated: “It was when my soul was deeply moved at the wrongs of the slave that I first perceived distinctly the subject condition of women.” This rhetorical comparison between women and slaves – the woman-slave analogy – emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century, but gained peculiar significance in the United States during the nineteenth century. This rhetoric was inspired by the Revolutionary Era language of liberty versus tyranny, and discourses of slavery gained prominence in the reform culture that was dominated by the American antislavery movement and shared among the sisterhood of reforms. The woman-slave analogy functioned on the idea that the position of women was no better – nor any freer – than slaves. It was used to critique the exclusion of women from a national body politic based on the concept that “all men are created equal.” From the 1830s onwards, this analogy came to permeate the rhetorical practices of social reformers, especially those involved in the antislavery, women’s rights, dress reform, suffrage and labour movements. Sarah’s sister, Angelina, asked: “Can you not see that women could do, and would do a hundred times more for the slave if she were not fettered?” My thesis explores manifestations of the woman-slave analogy through the themes of marriage, fashion, politics, labour, and sex.

  • The Child's Right to Participation – Reality Or Rhetoric? 301 Pp
    The Child’s Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? The Child’s Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? Rebecca Stern Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Grotiussalen, Uppsala, Friday, September 22, 2006 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Laws. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Stern, R. 2006. The Child's Right to Participation – Reality or Rhetoric? 301 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1891-1. This dissertation examines the child’s right to participation in theory and practice within the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international human rights instruments. Article 12 of the Convention establishes the right of the child to express views and to have those views respected and properly taken into consideration. The emphasis of the study is on the democracy aspects of child participation and on how the implementation of the right to participation could become more effective. For these purposes, the theoretical underpinnings of the child’s right to participation are examined with a particular focus on the impact of power structures. In order to clarify how state parties to the Convention have implemented article 12 and the way they argue regarding possible obstacles for implementation, jurisprudence and case law (practice) of the Committee on the Rights of the Child, as well as supervisory bodies of other international human rights instruments, are studied. In particular, the importance of traditional attitudes towards children on the realisation of participation rights for children is analysed. The case of India is presented as an example of how a state party to the Convention can argue on this matter.

  • Unfree Labor, Capitalism and Contemporary Forms of Slavery
    Unfree Labor, Capitalism and Contemporary Forms of Slavery Siobhán McGrath Graduate Faculty of Political and Social Science, New School University Economic Development & Global Governance and Independent Study: William Milberg Spring 2005 1. Introduction It is widely accepted that capitalism is characterized by “free” wage labor. But what is “free wage labor”? According to Marx a “free” laborer is “free in the double sense, that as a free man he can dispose of his labour power as his own commodity, and that on the other hand he has no other commodity for sale” – thus obliging the laborer to sell this labor power to an employer, who possesses the means of production. Yet, instances of “unfree labor” – where the worker cannot even “dispose of his labor power as his own commodity1” – abound under capitalism. The question posed by this paper is why. What factors can account for the existence of unfree labor? What role does it play in an economy? Why does it exist in certain forms? In terms of the broadest answers to the question of why unfree labor exists under capitalism, there appear to be various potential hypotheses. ¾ Unfree labor may be theorized as a “pre-capitalist” form of labor that has lingered on, a “vestige” of a formerly dominant mode of production. Similarly, it may be viewed as a “non-capitalist” form of labor that can come into existence under capitalism, but can never become the central form of labor. ¾ An alternate explanation of the relationship between unfree labor and capitalism is that it is part of a process of primary accumulation.

  • In Search of the Amazon: Brazil, the United States, and the Nature of A
    IN SEARCH OF THE AMAZON AMERICAN ENCOUNTERS/GLOBAL INTERACTIONS A series edited by Gilbert M. Joseph and Emily S. Rosenberg This series aims to stimulate critical perspectives and fresh interpretive frameworks for scholarship on the history of the imposing global pres- ence of the United States. Its primary concerns include the deployment and contestation of power, the construction and deconstruction of cul- tural and political borders, the fluid meanings of intercultural encoun- ters, and the complex interplay between the global and the local. American Encounters seeks to strengthen dialogue and collaboration between histo- rians of U.S. international relations and area studies specialists. The series encourages scholarship based on multiarchival historical research. At the same time, it supports a recognition of the represen- tational character of all stories about the past and promotes critical in- quiry into issues of subjectivity and narrative. In the process, American Encounters strives to understand the context in which meanings related to nations, cultures, and political economy are continually produced, chal- lenged, and reshaped.
