Writing(s) against 'The Promised Land' : an autobiographical exploration of identity, hybridity and racismGibson, Chantal N. 05 1900 (has links)
Canada's continued forgetfulness concerning slavery here, and the nation-state's
attempts to record only Canada's role as a place of sanctuary for
escaping African-Americans, is part of the story of absenting blackness
from its history.
Rinaldo Walcott
The fact that people of African descent have had a presence in Canada for over
four hundred years is not well known within the Canadian mainstream. The fact that
slavery existed as an institution in Canada is another fact that is not well known. Within
the Canadian mainstream writing of African-Canadian history, Blacks most often appear
in historical narratives around the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, as
American fugitives or refugees—either as escaping slaves or British Loyalists. Through
the representative writing of the "the Black refugee," Canada is often constructed as a
"Promised Land," a sanctuary or safe haven for Blacks, a place of refuge and redemption
that does not speak to the complex history of slavery that existed well before the
American exodus.
Many Black Canadian writers and scholars argue that there is a price to be paid
for this kind of representation. First, the absence of people of African descent in
Canadian historical narratives, prior to the coming o f the American refugees, ignores the
long presence of Blacks in Canada and the contributions that Blacks have made in the
development of Canada. Second, in focusing on the American Loyalists and refugee
slaves, Canadian writers and historians often construct Black Canadians as a
homogenous, genderless group, ignoring the diversity within Canada's Black population
and, in particular, the concerns of Black women. Finally, the mainstream representation
of Canada as a 'safe haven' proves problematic for any critical discussion of racism in
contemporary Canadian society, for notions of "Canada the good" and "America the evil"
that arose from those crossings North still penetrate the Canadian mainstream today.
This autobiocritical exploration examines the representation of the haven and
offers alternative readings to contemporary mainstream writings of African-Canadian
history. In part one, I track the appearance of Black Canadians, over the past fifty years,
from 1949 to 2001, in a survey of mainstream and scholarly texts. Using the results of
this survey, which does not see the appearance of Blacks in Canada until 1977, I examine
how mainstream texts might use the works of Black writers to offer more critical and
complex histories of Black Canadians and, in particular, Black women. In part two, I
take up an analysis of George Elliott Clarke's Beatrice Chancy. Seen as a counter-narrative
to mainstream writings of African-Canadian history, Clarke's work, which
takes up the subject of slavery in early-nineteenth century Nova Scotia, presents an/Other
kind of Loyalist story, one with a Black woman at its centre. In this discussion I examine
how Clarke's poetic work subverts the national narrative, as he speaks to the diversity
within blackness and the complexities in defining racial identities.

Writing the Royal Consort in Stuart EnglandLinnell, Anna-Marie January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation examines the literature of royal consorts in Stuart England. Critics and historians have devoted considerable attention to the creation of the monarch’s image during this tumultuous period, which witnessed two revolutions and the explosion of print. We know that the Stuart monarchs embraced different forms of visual media – including pageantry, portraiture and print – to disseminate their image within the court and to a broader public. However, the extensive literature about the royal consorts remains under-examined. My thesis makes an original contribution to scholarship by exploring what texts were written about the royal consorts, by whom, and how these writers constructed images of the royal consorts that participated in broader debates over the status of the monarchy. The dissertation is divided into two main parts. Part 1 comprises six chapters that analyse succession writing, when a new monarch came to the throne and established their iconography for the new reign. I draw on hundreds of texts that were printed about the Stuart consorts at these moments. These writings span a variety of genres, from poems and plays to sermons and political pamphlets. I investigate the literature of each succession in turn, analysing the main themes and motifs that emerged. This approach enables me to uncover a swathe of anonymous and under-utilised literature, but also re-interpret works by more canonical writers such as Aphra Behn. I ask how the royal consorts themselves, their spouses and members of the public could influence the creation of the royal consorts’ images at these moments. Critically, I also compare the conventions that were used to describe the consorts across the century. Part 2 analyses how writers re-constructed ideals for the royal consorts in Restoration England, as debates about the structure of the monarchy came to be more explicit. Chapter 7 concentrates on images of Henrietta Maria when she returned to England as Queen Mother. Chapter 8 asks how writers adapted former models of representation to praise Catherine, the infertile queen, when it became clear that she would not bear an heir. Finally, Chapter 9 examines the numerous secret histories and romances that were authored about Mary Beatrice’s purported behaviour during her exile in the 1690s. These chapters highlight the continued importance of these women and examines how writers constructed their legacies. As a whole, the literature about the royal consorts reveals a dynamic project as part of which authors engaged with and adapted earlier models of writing. This enabled them to address broader questions about changes in the nature of the Stuart monarchy and political life.

Italské inspirace středoevropské architektury / Italian inspiration of middle european architectureBrabcová, Anna January 2015 (has links)
At the end of the 15th century in Bohemia penetrates the Renaissance style, which appeared in 1493 at the Prague Castle in the form of windows of the Vladislav Hall in the Old Royal Palace. Their appearance is historically and stylistically linked to the Buda Castle, where Vladislaus II. Jagiello relocated in 1490. Here he met the prime marble carvings of the court of Matthias Corvinus, for which worked Italian masters. Patterns of fragments of windows founded in Buda can find at the Palazzo Ducale of Federico da Montefeltro in Urbino, because Hungary was due Queen Beatrice of Aragon from Naples in live contact with Italy.

"Very Beautiful and Very American": A Multicultural Analysis of Florence B. Price's Quintet in A Minor for Piano and StringsCarvajal Harding, Taryn Jane 26 April 2023 (has links) (PDF)
This paper examines the Quintet in A Minor for Piano and Strings by Florence B. Price (1887-1953). One of Price's latest compositions (with final revisions dated January 21, 1952), the Quintet is a masterful example of what is possible when using a multicultural lens to approach the making of American music. This paper exposes the insufficiency of examining (and assessing) multicultural composers and their works only with traditional Western European analytical views, when an expanded approach is needed to explain many of the non-European musical influences and phenomena. While more complex and challenging, this expanded analytical approach sheds added light and understanding on all compositional techniques used within this work. This analysis of the Quintet in A Minor shows that Price often self-quotes from some of her own earlier works; specifically works from her organ, art song, and symphonic oeuvres. The findings also show that Price's understanding of both Western Classical traditions and African-American musical traditions enabled her to intertwine multiple cultures, creating novel forms that are authentic to the American experience she lived. Price created what she referred to as a "very beautiful and very American" sound.

A study to explore factors that influence adherence to antiretroviral therapy among HIV and AIDS adult patients attending antiretroviral clinic at Beatrice Road Infectious Disease Hospital, Harare, ZimbabweNkomo, Gloria 09 January 2015 (has links)
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a global problem. Introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) came as a relief to people living with HIV and AIDS as it improved their quality of life. However, maintaining high adherence levels to antiretroviral treatment is still a challenge in some settings yet strict adherence to treatment instructions is critical for successful suppression of HIV.
A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological research was conducted to explore factors that influence adherence to antiretroviral therapy at Beatrice Road Infectious Disease Hospital (BRIDH).
Purposive homogenous sampling was done. Data was collected from twenty patients through in-depth interviews.
Study findings identified five main themes that facilitate adherence and these entail knowledge on HIV and AIDS and ART, motivation to live, adherence support networks, good service delivery and factors related to medication / Health Studies / M.A. (Public Health)

A politics of memory : cognitive strategies of five women writing in CanadaThompson, Dawn 05 1900 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to develop a counter—memory,
a cognitive strategy that provides an alternative to the
most prevalent mode of political action by members of
minority or subaltern groups: identity politics. It begins
with Teresa de Lauretis’ semiotics of subjectivity, which
posits the human subject as a shifting series of positions
or habits formed through semiotic and cognitive “mapping”
of, and being “mapped” by, its environment. De Lauretis
maintains that the subject can transform social reality
through an “inventive” mode of mapping. The first chapter
of this study is a semiotic analysis of the memory system at
work in Nicole Brossard’s Picture Theory. It argues that
Brossard’s use of holographic technology is an invention
that attempts to alter women’s maps of social reality.
Quantum physicist David Bohm has also employed the hologram
as a theoretical model. By merging Brossard’s holographic
memory with Bohm’s theory of a “holomovement,” this study
develops an epistemological strategy that alters not only
the map of reality, but also the dominant representational
mode of cognitive mapping.
This enquiry then moves on to other novels written in
Canada which have a strong political impetus based on
gender, nationality, ethnicity, race and/or class: Margaret
Atwood’s Surfacing, Marlene Nourbese Philip’s Looking for
Livingstone, Beatrice Culleton’s In Search of April Raintree
and Régine Robin’s La Ouébécoite. Through textual analysis,
it attempts to establish that although these novels make no
mention of holography, each of them employs a memory system
that inscribes itself holographically. That holographic
memory provides an alternative political strategy to the
“identity politics” at work in each of these texts. Each
text, in turn, like a fragment of a hologram, adds another
structural and political dimension to the hologram. The
processual structure of the holographic theory provides a
ground for alliances between different political agendas
while resisting closure. As an epistemological strategy, it
promises to alter both the method and the ground of
knowledge.
