This thesis examines the period in command of British land forces during the American War of Independence of Sir William Howe. The previously untapped resource of a draft of Howe’s famous narrative to the House of Commons underpins the original contribution made by this thesis, which also draws original conclusions from more familiar documents. Howe’s command is considered in the light of four major factors: his relationship with subordinate officers; the composition and quality of his army; his relationship with the American Secretary, Lord George Germain; and his personal qualities and experience. These four factors are then combined to consider key tactical and strategic decisions made by Howe while in command of the British army in North America. No attempt has been made to examine every decision or event during Howe’s period in command. Rather, those most contentious and controversial events, and those that can be reconsidered using new evidence and new interpretations of existing evidence, have been focussed on. This thesis does not (nor was it intended to) systematically counter the prevailing opinions of Howe set down over more than two centuries of historical works. However, it can be seen that Howe had more reasonable grounds for some of his most contentious decisions than has previously been argued and his overall strategy for 1776 was more coherent than he is generally given credit for.

Acionando estratégias diversificadas que Ihes tem garantido a permanência enquanto sociedade organizada em um contexto interétnico adverso, os Kanamari enfrentam, desde a invasão de seu território pelas frentes de ocupação extrativistas, um processo contínuo de perda de seus domínios territoriais. A partir de uma abordagem apoiada no dinamismo das diversas parcelas sociais que constituem o povo Kanamari, a dissertação se divide em três Partes. A PARTE I faz uma leitura crítica da bibliografia pertinente aos Kanamari e apresenta o pano de fundo onde se desenvolvem as relações interétnicas tanto com a população regional quanto com as agências indigenistas. A Parte II, numa visão diacrônica resgata os Kanamari enquanto povo definido pelo processo dinâmico, historicamente assinalado e preservado na memória coletiva quotidianamente realimentada em cada um dos diferentes grupos locais. A PARTE III discute as relações soc~is e de poder que se estabelecem no espaço interétnico, trazendo a visão dos Kanamari sobre este contexto a que estão inseridos pelo contato. Percebidos em sua capacidade de, uma vez incorporados, acionarem a reinterpretação dos próprios sistemas simbólicos e materiais que Ihe deram significado, os eventos históricos, superando os limites de uma historiografia do acontecimento e de uma análise antropológica sincrônica, são tomados a partir da noção de "situação histórica", o que facilita a visão do dinamismo sócio-cultural das sociedades estudadas.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / The aim of Sein und Zeit (1927) is a universal phenomenological ontology, by means of a concrete elaboration of the problem of being. The method is a combination of phenomenological analysis and hermeneutical interpretation. Ontology, or the question about being, is approached through fundamental ontology, or the analysis of personal existence. This existential analysis shows man as being-in-the-world, being-with-others, and being-unto-death. Man's being is care, and the meaning of care is finite temporality. An important project sectio of Sein und Zeit has not been published. In lesser works, Heidegger examines such themes as the nature of truth, the nature of ground (reason, cause), metaphysics, aesthetics, nothing, freedom, and interpretations of other philosophers. He attempts to go beyond conceptual though to truth, as the openness of personal what he calls Hegel's "Onto-Theo-Logical Conception of Metaphysics."
