321	The Ill-Treatment of Their Countrywoman: Liberated African Women, Violence, and Power in Tortola, 1807–1834 Browne, Arianna 01 June 2021 (has links) (PDF) In 1807, Parliament passed an Act to abolish the slave trade, leading to the Royal Navy’s campaign of policing international waters and seizing ships suspected of illegal trading. As the Royal Navy captured slave ships as prizes of war and condemned enslaved Africans to Vice-Admiralty courts, formerly enslaved Africans became “captured negroes” or “liberated Africans,” making the subjects in the British colonies. This work, which takes a microhistorical approach to investigate the everyday experiences of liberated Africans in Tortola during the early nineteenth century, focuses on the violent conditions of liberated African women, demonstrating that abolition consisted of violent contradictions that mirrored slavery.

323	Cars in Sweden's Cinema & Television : AI-Guided Research of Automobiles in Sweden’s Images from 1950-1980 Steck, Maximilian January 2021 (has links) This research project centers around cinematic and societal representation of the automobile in post-war Swedish cinema and television. Due to political neutrality during World War II, Sweden’s economy benefited from an extensive surplus immediately after Germany’s capitulation in 1945. Economic prosperity was in return transferred onto Swedish society, which enabled an already high degree of motorization of Swedes in mid-1950s, while neighboring European countries struggled rebuilding overall infrastructures, basic food supply lines and often entire cities. Naturally, this would conclude that Swedes presumably had a favorable attitude towards cars from the beginning, ultimately being reflected in some sort of cultural memory. However, Stig Dagerman’s 1948 short story “To Kill a Child” (Att döda ett barn), later on realized as short film in 1953, outlines a rather suspicious and cautious attitude towards automobiles. Cars’ mass-media portrayal in Swedish cinema and television was analyzed with current AI-techniques, therewith observing notable changes in imagery, themes and attitudes surrounding cars over 30 years in history. Filmarkivet.se served as main source with 114 currently available media artifacts from 1950 to 1980, including a wide spectrum of footage i.e., weekly newsreels, private filmmakers’ collections, television commercials, movie trailers, political campaigns and documentary formats. This source material proved diversified in nature as well as redrawing accurately representations of Swedish mass media of its time as it varied between cinema and television, whilst focusing in on daily life of individuals or daily life in Sweden’s cities. While artificial intelligence object recognition helped identifying pertinent sections within a large corpus of film data, subsequently, a qualitative tf-idf-analysis of selected films based on speech-to-text output was conducted, counterbalancing quantitative research approaches. archive AI cars cultural memory digital humanities film New Cinema History object detection speech recognition Swedish film oil crisis H-Day Archiv Künstliche Intelligenz KI Filmwissenschaft Medienwissenschaft Film Schweden Schwedischer Film Auto Repräsentation Wilde Erdbeeren arkiv artificiell intelligens svensk film bil minne representation oljekris dagen H Smultronstället 映画学スウェデンスウェデンの映画 AI 車歴史オイルショック野いちごダゲン・H Media Studies Medievetenskap Studies on Film Filmvetenskap
324	The industry of evangelism : printing for the Reformation in Martin Luther's Wittenberg Thomas, Drew B. January 2018 (has links) When Martin Luther supposedly nailed his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517 to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, the small town had only a single printing press. By the end of the century, Wittenberg had published more books than any other city in the Holy Roman Empire. Of the leading print centres in early modern Europe, Wittenberg was the only one that was not a major centre of trade, politics, or culture. This thesis examines the rise of the Wittenberg printing industry and analyses how it overtook the Empire's leading print centres. Luther's controversy—and the publications it produced—attracted printers to Wittenberg who would publish tract after tract. In only a few years, Luther became the most published author since the invention of the printing press. This thesis investigates the workshops of the four leading printers in Wittenberg during Luther's lifetime: Nickel Schirlentz, Josef Klug, Hans Lufft, and Georg Rhau. Together, these printers conquered the German print world. They were helped with the assistance of the famous Renaissance artist, Lucas Cranach the Elder, who lived in Wittenberg as court painter to the Elector of Saxony. His woodcut title page borders decorated the covers of Luther's books and were copied throughout the Empire. Capitalising off the demand for Wittenberg books, many printers falsely printed that their books were from Wittenberg. Such fraud played a major role in the Reformation book trade, as printers in every major print centre made counterfeits of Wittenberg books. However, Reformation pamphlets were not the sole reason for Wittenberg's success. Such items played only a marginal role in the local industry. It was the great Luther Bibles, spurred by Luther's emphasis on Bible reading, that allowed Wittenberg's printers to overcome the odds and become the largest print centre in early modern Germany.
325	Good Game Blake, Greyory 01 January 2018 (has links) This thesis and its corresponding art installation, Lessons from Ziggy, attempts to deconstruct the variables prevalent within several complex systems, analyze their transformations, and propose a methodology for reasserting the soap box within the display pedestal. In this text, there are several key and specific examples of the transformation of various signifiers (i.e. media-bred fear’s transformation into a political tactic of surveillance, contemporary freneticism’s transformation into complacency, and community’s transformation into nationalism as a state weapon). In this essay, all of these concepts are contextualized within the exponential growth of new technologies. That is to say, all of these semiotic developments must be framed within the post-Internet sphere. platform capitalism surveillance video games social media the dromosphere Ziggy Advertising and Promotion Management American Film Studies American Literature American Material Culture American Popular Culture Art Practice Audio Arts and Acoustics Book and Paper Business Analytics Business and Corporate Communications Business Intelligence Contemporary Art Cultural History Digital Humanities Diplomatic History Ethics and Political Philosophy Fiction French and Francophone Literature French Linguistics Game Design Graphic Design Illustration Industrial and Product Design Interdisciplinary Arts and Media Labor History Management Information Systems Marketing Nonfiction Other American Studies Other Business Other Film and Media Studies Philosophy of Mind Photography Poetry Political History Public History Sculpture Social History Technology and Innovation Television Theory and Criticism Visual Studies
