Encountering ’this season’s retrieval’ : historical fiction, literary postmodernism and the novels of Peter AckroydGrubisic, Brett Josef 05 1900 (has links)
"Encountering 'this season's retrieval': Historical Fiction, Literary Postmodernism and the
Novels of Peter Ackroyd" engages the novels Peter Ackroyd has published, and situates
them within broader generic considerations and critical dialogue. Part I, an extended
prefatorial apparatus, places Ackroyd and his published fiction within three historicocritical
contexts: the problem of author-as-reliable-source and the disparate histories of (a)
the historical novel and (b) postmodernism in general (and literary postmodernism in
particular). By interrogating the histories and points-of-contention of these areas, this Part
aims to problematize critical discourse enveloping Ackroyd's fiction.
Part II, comprised of four chapters, discusses specific groupings of Ackroyd's
novels. After providing an overview of relevant aspects of the novels and their reception by
critics, Chapter A, "Moulding History with Pastiche in The Last Testament of Oscar Wilde.
Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem and Milton in America." considers the multiple
functioning of pastiche—often considered a mainstay postmodern implement—in
Ackroyd's work. The chapter concludes that rather than achieving a singular effect in the
novels, pastiche works in divergent manners and confounds the reading of past historical
actuality they ostensibly represent. Chapter B, "The Presence of the Past: Comedic and
Non-Realist Historicism in The Great Fire of London and First Light." provides an
overview of relevant aspects of the novels, and then analyzes how the presence of comedy
in otherwise sombre historical fiction interrupts the realism of the narrative. This chapter
argues that while camp comic effects disrupt the authority of quasi-historiographic
techniques they cannot fully subvert realism and so create a suspensive modality. Chapter
C, "PastlPresent: The Uses of History in Hawksmoor. Chatterton. The House of Doctor
Dee and English Music." interrogates elements of the past-present fugue trajectories of
these novels in order to problematize schematic readings of their supposed cultural politics.
Finally, Chapter D, "Those Conventional Concluding Remarks: The Plato Papers.
(National) History and Politics," places Ackroyd's most recent novel (one
uncharacteristically set in the future) within the preoccupations of his earlier fiction. The
chapter concludes with a brief outline of future scholarship that would investigate the
national Englishness constructed throughout Ackroyd's biographical and novelistic work.

Transformative or abortive? : a "de-voluntaristic" analysis of the Nationalist Revolution in modern Chinese historyLanyan, Chen 11 1900 (has links)
Interpretations of the Nationalist Revolution in modern
Chinese history, especially the so-called “Nanjing decade”
(1927-1937) are dominated by theoretical notions which see
the state as autonomous in its relationship to society.
This autonomous state model, the dissertation argues, finds
its roots in the voluntaristic ideas of Talcott Parsons.
Arguments based on Parsons’s ideas view the Nationalist
Revolution as abortive.
The dissertation rejects these views and develops an
alternative perspective based on the construction of a
quasi-market model of social relations. The theoretical
underpinnings, in contrast to Parsons’s ideas, are termed
“de-voluntaristic.” These arguments suggest that
individuals participate in, and have influence on, the
operation of the state.
The application of a quasi-market model suggests that
there was a major transformation in Chinese society during
the Nationalist period. The dissertation argues that the
Nationalist Government after 1927 did not continue to
achieve the initial objectives of the Nationalist Revolution
which, it is suggested, aimed to build a quasi-market
society. The revolution, however, was not abortive. It
transformed the political system.
In the Imperial tradition of government, local elites
protected local communities against state encroachment
through their involvement in property management. After
1927, the Nanjing Government adopted a “free market”
approach to political affairs, and centralized the use of
military and legal power to protect property against labour
and the peasants.
Peasant demands for rights to the land they tilled, a
key element in Sun Yat-sen’s programme for the revolution,
questioned the brokerage market economy, in which local
elites acted as the intermediaries of contractual partners.
Workers, in the context of industrialization, and with
support from Communist organizers, attempted to improve
working conditions. Peasants and workers contested the
power of active elites that grew in the new political order
established by. the Nationalist Government. The Nationalist
State abandoned the traditional role of the Chinese state to
protect the well-being of society. Deeply influenced by new
elites, it protected capital accumulation and safeguarded
the sanctity of contracts.
The Nationalist Revolution ultimately failed as it was
unable to resist the invasions of the Japanese, or the
alternative social formulations of the Communist movement.

From cooperation to alternative settlement : the Allies and the "German problem", 1941-1949Szanajda, Andrij January 1991 (has links)
This study deals with Allied policy for postwar Germany during the Second World War (1941-1945) and the Allied occupation (1945-1949). It is shown that the ideological division and the conflicting objectives of the occupation powers led to a disintegration of cooperation between the occupation powers, and resulted in the division of Germany as an alternative settlement to the "German Problem". The evidence is based on the available government documents, eye-witness accounts, and secondary sources.
