Métis women : social structure, urbanization and political activism, 1850-1980Troupe, Cheryl Lynn 15 January 2010
This thesis explores how nineteenth century Métis concepts of family and community have found expression in post 1930s urban development, governance and political activism. In this study, genealogical methods and participant interviews have been used to examine the social, economic and political role of women in 19th century Métis families and communities in order to determine the extent to which these traditional roles were carried forward into an urban context prior to World War II. Based on this research, it was concluded that female kinship relationships were central in structuring and determining the bounds of this Métis community despite economic changes, community movement, physical relocation and political upheaval in both traditional and contemporary contexts. By organizing in ways that were familiar and consistent with past practices, urban Métis women in the early twentieth century had the opportunity and flexibility to informally politicize community issues and recruit organization participants. Over time, the political role played by women evolved and they began to take leading roles in the day-to- day operation of programs and services. By the 1960s-70s, urban Métis women began to formally assert their political will and move from behind the scenes into a more public leadership roles. Throughout this evolution, concepts of family, kinship and tradition remained the core organization concept for this community. Through the expression of these 19th century traditions, Métis women have made a significant contribution to post-1930 urban development, governance and political activism.

Archivists’ outlook on service to genealogists in selected Canadian provincial archivesEdwards, Rhianna Helen 05 1900 (has links)
A long-standing antipathy towards genealogists on the
part of archivists is suggested by a study of the archival
literature. However, there is evidence in the literature of
the past decade to indicate that many archivists are
reassessing their position vis a vis genealogists. There
appears to be several causes. Social historians and other
professionals also acknowledge that genealogical endeavours
are helpful to their own purposes. Genealogists themselves
recognize that their qualifications and standards must be
improved in order for them to command respect. Archivists
now recognize the lobbying power that can be exercised by
this large user constituency. The literature suggests that
all these influences are leading archivists to accept the
principle that genealogy and genealogists should receive
service and respect that is equal to that afforded academic
and other researchers.
Interviews with seven archivists at three Canadian
provincial archives were conducted. They suggest that
different archivists hold different attitudes towards
genealogists. One interviewee was clearly antipathetic, but
three were impartial and three were frustrated and
discouraged, not with genealogists per se, but with the
problems inherent in putting the principle of equality into
practice. Regardless of the attitude held, each interviewee
believed that an improvement in methods of accommodating
genealogists would not only aid the genealogist, but would
also provide some relief from the pressures of serving this
large and varied user constituency. But does such
accommodation through adjustments in the functions of
appraisal and acquisition, arrangement and description,
reference and access, and public programming undermine
archival theory? In general, it was found that sound
appraisal practices are compromised by an approach driven by
the needs of the user; however, genealogical research
required no adjustment of arrangement and description
practices following the principles of provenance and
original order. It was also found that the functions of
reference and access, and public programming could meet the
needs and approaches of genealogists without jeopardizing
the physical and intellectual aspects of the records.

A genealogy of genealogical practices : the development and use of medical pedigrees in the case of Huntington's diseaseNukaga, Yoshio. January 2000 (has links)
The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the use, role and function of medical pedigrees as part of extended networks of genetic practices. Integral to my argument is a description of geneticisation (i.e., the redefinition of family problems as genetic in origin), grounded in a set of detailed case studies of the development and use of visual tools in genetic practices. / In recent years, medical sociologists have tended to link geneticisation to medicalisation (i.e., the social control by doctors over patients accompanied by the translation of social problems into medical issues). I argue that the twin notions of geneticisation and medicalisation are problematic, insofar as they embody a simplistic and negative understanding of medical activities and they prevent a sociological inquiry into the technical content of genetic practices. / Medical pedigrees are visual tools used to translate family problems into visual inscriptions, in order to show the genetic nature of a given disease. The use of medical pedigrees in genetic counselling and research rests on a chain of genetic practices including the inscription of family trees, the standardisation of medical pedigrees, the combination of specialised forms of medical pedigrees with other diagnostic inscriptions, and the circulation of published pedigrees. The analysis is based on a genealogical approach, as built on a combination of historical and ethnographic methods. The genealogical approach was applied to the analysis of a long network of genetic practices centred on Huntington's disease. The analysis spans over 120 years and compares two different international settings (North America and Japan). / The thesis examines how lay support group members and family members collect family narratives, family inscriptions and family trees, which were first translated by genetic counsellors into various forms of medical pedigrees, and then circulated as educational material among lay and medical practitioners. On the basis of these case studies, the conclusion is reached that the notion of geneticisation should be understood as a specific process resulting from an emerging cooperative practice between medical practitioners and lay support group members, rather than as a process of medicalisation.

Nursing and adolescent health promotion: an inquiry following the philosophical oeuvre of Michel FoucaultRyan, Maureen Margaret 25 November 2013 (has links)
Following the philosophical oeuvre of Michel Foucault, I locate and discuss how the
discursive formulation of adolescent health promotion defines the conceptual
possibilities and determines the boundaries of nurses’ thinking and practices as they are
written about in nursing texts.
From my archaeological work, I locate and name two confident nursing practices within
the context of young people and their health: “reducing risk” and “promoting well
becoming” and go on to locate those practices within two broader theoretical discourses
within human science: the biological view and the social constructionist view.
From my genealogical work, I consider how the management of the adolescent body has
become a matter that situates biological life (puberty) as a political event and situates the
nurse within governing practices of pastoral power. I question the ways in which
adolescent health may be shaped through political interests of economy and social order
and question: When is an adolescent ever deemed responsible in matters pertaining to
their health?
I offer an alternative view of responsibility and argue for a shift in established binary
thinking that allows for the consideration of co-responsibility. / Graduate / 0569 / 0758 / 0680 / mmryan@uvic.ca

Modelling tribal genealogies for information systems design and developmentLitchfield, Alan Unknown Date (has links)
The study seeks to answer the question: What are the human and cultural factors in the whakapapa process? This research identifies human and cultural factors that will explicitly direct the future design of an Information Systems design and development project. Current systems and approaches come from a western/euro-centric perception of the world (Locus), but much of the data that are to be stored in the system come from unique tribal sources (Demotic). These approaches, the Locus and the Demotic, oppose each other on what to store, how it should be stored and how it may be retrieved. The approaches are the result of cultural patterns that have evolved and raise issues about the treatment of data in information systems. Issues are argued against the work of Foucault and are subsequently addressed before the data that is gathered for the study are analysed. The work of Foucault is adopted and key concepts are arrived at: Kotahitanga/Herkunft, the representation of subtle, singular, and sub-individual marks that may connect and link a person to others, forming a dense network that is difficult to unravel; Hei Ahua/Entstehung, the exact essence nature of something; and, T¯imatanga/Ursprung, the state held at the moment of arising. These establish a framework for the analysis of data. Foucault identifies two types of person, the Genealogist and the Historian. In the study these types are used to represent the approach taken by the Locus and the Demotic. They are contrasted against each other throughout the study to show how their approaches differ in vital ways. The process of comparing and contrasting the Genealogist and the Historian includes qualitative analysis and symbolic interactionism. The ethnographic analysis method, symbolic interactionism, is used to analyse primary data sources. Qualitative analysis is used to analyse secondary sources. Together, they are used to derive a cohesive set of 38 symbols that are recognisable as factors in the development of the information system. The 38 symbols are aggregated to arrive at 29 human and cultural factors in the whakapapa process. The factors can be used to guide the development of an information system for managing complex data structures.
