For a space to teach: Acadian teachers in public schools in eastern Nova Scotia, 1811-1864Sweet, David Bradley 30 September 2005 (has links)
This doctoral thesis concerns the Acadian teachers in the public schools of the eastern counties of Nova Scotia between the years 1811 and 1864. The early Acadian public school teachers provided the Acadians, the French speaking population, in Nova Scotia, instruction in their own French language even under legal constraints to do otherwise. The region covered in this dissertation includes the counties found on Cape Breton Island and the counties of Antigonish and Guysborough on the mainland portion of the province between 1811 the year of adoption of the first Education Act in Nova Scotia concerning public education and concludes with the 1864 Education Act which created a homogenous unilingual school system in English.
Acadian education would progress from small groups of children taught by itinerant school
masters and visiting mission priests to formal one-room school houses where numbers were
sufficient. Lay teachers being found in the communities would perpetuate the French language
following their own education at the few available institutions for training. The work of these Acadian public school teachers, even when legislation prohibited it, resulted in the survival of the Acadian French communities in eastern Nova Scotia. In the preparation of this thesis, original sources were used including school reports, school commissioner reports, and colonial census records, private journals of the bishops and priests as well as those of community members. The original sources are invaluable as a record of the year to year work of the Acadian public school teachers where there are few other documentary sources remaining of their work. While the origins of the public schools in Nova Scotia has been documented as well as Acadian schools, this is the first look at the Acadian public school teachers who worked in the various communities of eastern Nova Scotia and their backgrounds. / Educational Studies / D.Ed.

Images of the 'other': the visual representation of African people as an indicator of socio-cultural values in nineteenth century EnglandBuntman, Barbara January 1994 (has links)
Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for
the Degree of Master of Arts at the University of the Witwatersrand.
March 1994. / This research examines the way in which the ideology of difference is reflected in visual images of black
people in Britain in the nineteenth century, Concepts of tlie 'other' ar~iocated within specific
contemporary socie-celnnal and political contexts. Historically, this was an important period in which
theories of human difference proliferated, and which in turn informed diverse and often contradictory
social practices. The white English behavioUl' towards, and perspective of, black people in England had a
direct bearing not only on life in Britain, but in the colonies as well. The images produced in England
were critical to the colonial enterprise. They infomlt:al Briti~h attitudes to Africa and the Empire more
generally.
Implicit in the analysis of the images is an evaluation of the emergflllce of hegemonic ideas, and the
manipulation of power by the ruling class. The beliefs and trends of a society are reflected in its visual
arts. The methodology employed aims to bring together analyses of the production of visual
representations within a broad chronological and thematic framework, so as to assess the social
production of meaning in the images. To do this it is necessary to verify the presence of black people
as residents in England. Chapter one addresses this issue as well as determines to what extent the
notion of blackness was integral to an early formation of a black !~~creotype. Some of the implications
of British participation in the slave trade are also censldered, Images of slaves which are the main
focus of chapter two, demonstrate seclo-eultural attitudes of early nlneteanth-centurv English people.
Chapter three examines the rise of science and systematic knowlaJge which fed to both technical and
popular theorising about racial difference. The congruence between scientific and popular understandings
led to the emergence of notions of 'types' and hierarchies of people, which were to dominate ideas and
attitudes for decades. Concurrent with the rise of science was the growth of a popular image of a
stereotyped blar.k 'other', Chapter four evaluates the. processes through which these images were
disseminated in a fast growing popular culture. The inequalities ()f power relations within English society,
as manifest in the images, are analyzed. Chapter five considers the ways in which the white male
producers of images perceived black women. The contradictions and ambiguities of the visual systems in
this chapter point to the complexities of cultural practice, and of artists and producers' particular views
on blackness and femaleness. The conclusion summarises the lIIIay in which the coneept of an 'other'
has been used in this dissertation. / MT2017

Juan Montalvo and the culture of revolution in Ecuador : the nineteenth and twentieth century response to his violent rhetoricSpragg, Kimberly R. January 1997 (has links)
Isaac J. Barrera, a noted scholar of Ecuadorian literature, succinctly described the nineteenth-century Liberal essayist, Juan Montalvo, in this way. "Two completely different aspects exist in the intellectual personality of Montalvo, that of the elegant, traditional writer ... and that of the terrible polemicist, possessing a scathing pen [and] ignited rage." Indeed, it was Montalvo's "scathing pen" and "ignited rage" combined with his exceptional mastery of the Castillian language which distinguished his writing from that of other Ecuadorian reformers. Yet, the Ecuadorian's insulting polemics and violent rhetoric encouraged and perpetuated an already existing "culture of revolution" in Ecuador. Indeed, the eyes of the country seemed fixed on Montalvo. He was at the center of Ecuadorian political thought and he personified the hope of those of radical opinion. For example, in 1875, after reading The Perpetual Dictator, his polemical pamphlet directed against the tyrannical practices of then Ecuadorian President, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, three of Montalvo's disciples assassinated the Dictator. Montalvo, believing he now had proof of the power of his words, exclaimed, "No doubt my ideas took root; ... it is my pen that killed him."This thesis will examine three aspects of Juan Montalvo and the culture of revolution in Ecuador. The second chapter entitled, "'It is My Pen that Killed Him!': The Assassination of Garcia Moreno," will examine Montalvo's rhetoric of violence and its results. Chapter three, "Montalvo as Icon: Nationalism, Personalism and Rebellion," will explore how a nation's heroes influence the cultural and revolutionary flavor of the particular region or country. The fourth chapter, "Indoctrination of the Innocent: Montalvo in Education," will analyze how the culture of revolution has not only penetrated Ecuadorian education but is perpetuated through the education of the Ecuadorian youth.This investigation will also provide supplemental awareness of Montalvo's general motives as well as a representative sketch of a nineteenth-century, Latin American liberal. An understanding of this Ecuadorian is also necessary for related research regarding other twentieth-century, Spanish speaking authors, such as Miguel Unamuno, for whom Montalvo was an influential figure. Furthermore, a clear assessment of Montalvo, and the forces against which he fought, portrays Latin American authoritarianism and personalism and reflects the social and religious mentality of the Ecuadorian elite and middle class in the nineteenth century. Despite Montalvo's influential position in Ecuador and his worldwide reputation as an opponent of tyranny and defender of liberty, only a few select passages of his writings have been translated into English. Likewise, English language scholarship on Montalvo is sorely lacking; most of the few existing articles are sparse, replete with errors, and tailored to a popular audience. / Department of History

“Just arrived from the East” : manufactured and imported building materials in early nineteenth-century IndianaManning, Mary C. 29 June 2011 (has links)
This thesis examines the availability and use of manufactured and imported
building materials in southern and central Indiana before 1850. Specifically, it seeks to
identify the extent to which materials such as paint, machine-cut nails, window glass and
prefabricated sash, architectural hardware, and cast iron stoves were imported into the
region from both foreign and domestic sources. It examines the transition from handmade
and hand-wrought to standardized, mass-produced, and prefabricated building materials
and explores the impact of emerging American consumerism, changing economic policy,
and advancements in technology and transportation on the built environment of the
Indiana frontier. / Historical context -- Whitewash and paint -- Wrought and cut nails -- Window glass and prefabricated sash -- Architectural hardward -- Cast iron stoves. / Department of Architecture

Evangelical Episcopalians in nineteenth-century ScotlandMeldrum, Patricia January 2004 (has links)
This thesis deals with the theology and development of the Evangelical Episcopalian movement in nineteenth-century Scotland. Such a study facilitates the construction of a detailed doctrinal and social profile of these Churchmen, hitherto unavailable. In the introduction an extensive investigation is provided, identifying individuals within the group and assessing their numerical strength. Chapter 2 shows the locations of Evangelical Episcopalian churches and suggests reasons for their geographical distribution. Chapter 3 investigates some sermons and writings of various clergy and laypersons, highlighting the doctrinal beliefs of Scottish Evangelical Episcopalians and placing them within the spectrum of Evangelical Anglicanism and showing affinities with Scottish Presbyterianism. Chapter 4 concerns the lifestyle of members of the group, covering areas such as marriage, family, leisure and philanthropy. Chapter 5 provides a numerical analysis of the social make-up of various congregations paying particular attention to the success achieved in reaching the working classes. Chapters 6 and 7 examine the issues faced by Scottish Evangelical Episcopalians in an age of increasing Tractarian and Roman Catholic activity. Topics covered include the theology of baptism and the communion service. The contrast between Evangelical belief and that of orthodox Scottish High Churchmen and Virtualists is clarified. Chapter 8 explains the factors contributing to the secession of D. T. K. Drummond from the Scottish Episcopal Church and the formation of the English Episcopal movement. Further disruptions are discussed in Chapter 9. Chapter 10 provides a detailed analysis of the development and eventual fragmentation of English Episcopalianism. Chapter 11 concludes the thesis with an evaluation of the contribution of English Episcopalianism to the history of the Scottish Episcopal Church and the reasons for its emergence. The thesis thus provides a detailed examination of the motives which drove the adherents of this important facet of nineteenth-century British Evangelicalism.
