Anglo-American kinship, as a set of historical continuities linking the United States to Great Britain and as a reckoning of relatedness, constituted a valuable cultural resource for Southerners as they contemplated their place within the American nation and outside in the nineteenth century. Like the more conventional calculations of consanguinity and familial belonging it referenced, the Anglo-American kinship was contingent, convoluted, and, not infrequently, contested. Articulated at various times by masters and former slaves, ministers and merchants, plantation mistresses and politicians, this sense of belonging to an imagined transatlantic family transcended the boundaries of gender, race, and class as readily as it traversed national borders. Though grounded in biogenetic factors, the language of Anglo-American kinship encompassed claims of belonging predicated on confessional faith, language, and institutions as well as blood. This thesis considers the interaction between conceptions of Anglo-American kinship and the formation of Southern national identity, both unionist and separatist, between 1830 and 1890 by examining institutions and social rituals that both inculcated filiopietism and constructed Southerness in the Civil War era and beyond. The subjects under consideration in this study include the role of European travel in forging Southern distinctiveness before the war, ring tournaments and the ethos of medieval chivalry they promoted, the Protestant Episcopal Church and its role in managing the sectional crisis, postbellum immigration societies and their vision of the plantation South remade in the image of British manors, and the role that state historical associations played in reunion and the entrenchment of the Lost Cause mythology as the predominant historical framework for interpreting the American Civil War.

O objetivo é olhar para os recortes suscitados pela leitura do processo, pois isso auxilia tanto a inteligibilidade do processo quanto o desvio do olhar em sentidos que apenas a fonte em particular pode fornecer. Do mesmo modo, está posta a tentativa de entender o processo enquanto acontecimento, já que se pergunta sobre o processo segundo suas regras de fabricação dentro da instituição inquisitorial, evocando suas conexões institucionais de forma mais direta. Para tanto, interroga-se como operaram os primeiros juízos inquisitoriais estabelecidos na Nova Espanha no período anterior ao ano de 1571 - data oficial do estabelecimento do Tribunal do Santo Ofício na Nova Espanha, mais especificamente no período de nomeação do primeiro arcebispo do México e inquisidor episcopal Juan de Zumárraga. Observa-se ainda, por meio do Processo Inquisitorial do cacique de Texcoco e demais fontes de pesquisa, aspectos do comportamento da antiga elite indígena do vale do México frente à imposição do cristianismo e à dominação política espanhola / Abstract: It investigates how the case of don Carlos Ometochtzin, cacique of Texcoco (Proceso Inquisitorial del Cacique de Tetzcoco 1539), was related to the early years of Spanish conquest in the Valley of Mexico. The goal is to look at the clippings raised by the reading process, establishing a two-way dialogue, because this can help the intelligibility of the process and averts the eyes in ways that only a particular source can provide. As the same manner, this work understands the process as an event, since it wonders about the process according to its manufacturing rules inside the inquisitorial institution, evoking its institutional connections more directly. For this, it asks how to operated the first inquisitorial courts established in New Spain in the period preceding the year of 1571 - official date of establishment of the Court of the Inquisition in New Spain, more specifically in the period of appointment of first archbishop of Mexico and inquisitor bishop Juan de Zumárraga. It can shows also, through the inquisitorial process of the chief of Texcoco and other research sources, aspects of the behavior of ancient indigenous elite of the valley of Mexico against the imposition of Christianity and political domination of Spain / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

A intenção é buscar nos debates entre os principais expoentes da chamada nova narrativa hispano-americana reflexões sobre a identidade do continente. Essa literatura iniciada nos anos de 1950 e continuada nas décadas seguintes é responsável por fomentar uma ideia de unidade latino-americana, criando um pastiche sobre aquilo que seria a América. Como salienta grande parte dos estudiosos do tema, a narrativa desse período, de maneira consciente, tentou realizar a busca de um centro do espaço americano e começou propensa a dar uma versão típica da nossa realidade: a América como espaço do maravilhoso. Divergindo dessa representação, na década de 1990 tem início o movimento McOndo, criado pelos escritores chilenos Alberto Fuguet e Sergio Gómez, para definir uma geração de novos escritores latino-americanos cuja principal característica era rechaçar o aspecto mágico que passou a ser o ?selo? dos autores do Real Maravilhoso. Analisar os limites e as implicações políticas desses discursos, assim como as formas através das quais os intelectuais da década de 1960 e 1990 representaram a América Latina, é o principal objetivo do trabalho / Abstract: This dissertation explores the limits of the Real Maravilhoso as a concept and an esthetic-political speech of Latin America representation. The purpose of it is looking for reflections about the continent identity through discussions among the main exponents of the new Spanish American narrative. This literature that was introduced in the 1950s and has been proceeded in the following decades is responsible for promoting a concept of Latin-America unity, creating a common sense of what would be America. As emphasized by many literary critics and historians, the narrative of this period, in a conscious way, tried to achieve the search of a center of an American space and began tending to give a typical version of our reality: America as a place of wonder. Diverging from this representation, in the 1990s the movement McOndo has begun, created by chilean writers Alberto Fuguet and Sergio Gómez, to define a generation of new Latin American writers whose main feature was to reject the magical aspect that became the "seal" of the Real Maravilhoso's authors. Analyze the limits and political implications of these speeches, as well as the intellectuals of the 1960s and 1990s represented Latin American, is the main objective of this study / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

New Caledonia (1698-1700) was Scotland’s largest independent colonial venture. The scheme’s collapse crippled the country financially and was an important factor in the Anglo-Scottish Union of 1707. This project explores the identity of Scottish settlers who attempted to colonize the Darien region of modern Panama. Colonial identity is assessed by reconstructing the Scottish dialogue about the natural world, the aboriginal population, and the commonwealth. I contend that the ideology of improvement that shaped Scottish perceptions of utility and fertility in the Darien became a powerful moral discourse used to critique the colonists. This paper also chronicles Scottish aspirations to found an empire of trade and civility, uncovering the fundamental problems created by the idealization of the Tule as eager subjects of this new empire. Finally, I argue that Caledonia’s food shortages not only threatened the colonial government’s legitimacy, they also exposed divergent ideals of the commonwealth among the settlers.

This thesis is a study of the Confederate command problem in the Trans-Mississippi West, 1861-1862.

Evangelicals have been characterized as a people committed to the Bible with historical roots to the fundamentalists who were engaged in controversy with liberals in North America at the beginning of the twentieth century. Harold Lindsell's book, The Battle For The Bible (1976), led to a great deal of discussion about inerrancy among evangelicals which resulted in major conferences and the publication of a number of books and articles discussing inerrancy in the subsequent decade. The principal doctrinal statement of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) has been from its inception a statement on inerrancy. The inerrancy debate among evangelicals took a new direction with the publication of R H Gundry's commentary on Matthew (1982). This sparked a debate concerning redaction criticism and the compatibility of using the historical-critical methodology while maintaining a commitment to the doctrine of inerrancy. Just when the debate appeared to be dying down the publication of the results of the Jesus Seminar (1993) led to several responses from evangelicals. The most controversial publication was The Jesus Crisis (1998) which accused evangelicals and some within the ETS of embracing the same methodology as those of the Jesus Seminar, refueling the debate again. Consequently this debate amongst evangelicals, particularly those associated with the ETS has continued for almost two decades. The debate has ranged over a variety of issues related to historical criticism and the study of the Gospels, including presuppositions, the Synoptic Problem, the role of harmonization, and whether the Gospels provide a strict chronology of the life of Jesus. The role of form and tradition criticism and the criteria of authenticity and whether the Gospel writers were faithful historians or creative theologians have also been points of contention in the debate. The languages that Jesus spoke and whether the Gospels preserve the ipsissima verba or vox have highlighted the differing views about the requirements of inerrancy. The redaction criticism debate has proven to have a significant role in exposing differences in methodology, definitions, presuppositions, and boundaries among evangelicals and members of the ETS. / New Testament / D.Th.

On April 9, 1940, Germany invaded Denmark. Instantly, the fate and status of Greenland, a Danish colony, was thrust into limbo. During the war, Greenland’s vital mineral resources and location made it significant for the warring parties on both sides of the Atlantic. However, conflicting international corporate and political interests made any act to defend the island on the part of the Allies, or the officially neutral Americans, problematic. Within a year of the Danish occupation, the American government had signed an agreement for the defense of Greenland, extending the protection of both the Monroe Doctrine and the American military to the island. This action was an important step in the formal expansion of American influence in the Western Hemisphere that occurred during the Second World War. This thesis argues that global economic, political, and technological changes led to Greenland’s increased geopolitical significance and set the stage for a shift in the balance of power within the North Atlantic Triangle. It demonstrates how decisions relating to the security of the island came to be made and how conflicting interests within and between governments affected the genesis of the occupation. It explores how Winston Churchill’s decision to mine the North Sea led to the American occupation of Greenland and examines the ways in which the effects of Churchill’s actions raised concerns in Canada about the possibility of a British defeat, which in turn led Mackenzie King, the Canadian Prime Minister, to align his foreign policy closer to that of the United States’ President Roosevelt. This thesis also asserts that Roosevelt successfully used the potential foreign occupation of Greenland to demonstrate to the American public the dangers of foreign conflicts to the United States and to further his hemispheric security objectives both domestically and abroad. These events had a profound and lasting impact on the relationships within the North Atlantic Triangle and on political identity in Greenland, and signalled an important shift in the foreign policy of the United States toward greater American involvement in world affairs.

This thesis uncovers a deep and recurring link between two indigenista texts of the 20th Century: Balâun Canâan, by Rosario Castellanos, and "El problema del indio," by Jose Carlos Mariâategui. Mariategui's text, an essay, takes a deductive approach to prove that the "Indian's problem" in Peru is related to the concentration of land in the hands of his oppressors. Using Marxist theory, Mariâategui shows that only through more equitable distribution of land can the indigenous Peruvian's fortunes be improved. Castellanos chooses the years of the Cardenas presidency (1934-1940) for her novel, a work that deals with the legacy of the Mexican Revolution. Set in Chiapas, Mexico, autobiographical and fictitious elements and characters dramatize a conflict over indigenous rights to land and education on a criollo family's enormous estate. Supported by intellectual criticism from a number of fields, this thesis connects episodes from Castellanos's novel with the core premises of Mariâategui's essay. / by Blaire Modic. / Abstract in English. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.
