This thesis looks at how news shaped people's relationship to the world in Algeria under French rule. This territory operated under an uncertain legal status that made it both a part of France and a colony, and within it lived a society divided between European settlers and Muslim natives. Accounts of recent events helped Algerians determine what was domestic and what was foreign in a place where those two notions were highly contested. Colonialism did not close Algeria off from the world or open it up, instead it created a particular geography. In a series of case-studies taken from across Algeria, this thesis investigates a wide range of types of news: manuscripts, rumours, wire dispatches, newspapers, illustrations, songs, newsreels, and radio broadcasts. It focuses on the period in which Algeria's legal status as part of France was most certain, from the end of the conquest and the consolidation of Republican rule in the 1880s to the outbreak of the Second World War. In this period, authorities thought the influence of outside events on Algeria was a bigger threat than disturbances within. Because of this, state surveillance produced reports to monitor foreign news, and these form the backbone of this study. But state attempts to manage the flow of news had unintended effects. Instead of establishing effective censorship, authorities ended up spreading news and making it more politically sensitive. Settlers, supposedly the state's allies, proved highly disruptive to state attempts to control the flow of information. Through a social history of information in a settler colonial society, this research reconsiders the relationship between changes in media and people's sense of community. From the telegraph to the radio, new technologies worked to divide colonial society rather than tying it together, and the same medium could lead to divergent senses of community.

O propósito da presente tese é estudar os vínculos mantidos por Ramalho Ortigão, importante escritor da geração de 70, com o Brasil, notadamente com a imprensa dopaís. As suas conhecidas Cartas Portuguesas, publicadas pela Gazeta de Notícias do Rio de Janeiro, de 12 de julho de 1877 a 17 de outubro de 1915, num total de mais de 500 colaborações, assim como a temporada de três meses que passou no Brasil, no segundo semestre de 1887, demonstram muito bem o quanto foram estreitos e produtivos estes vínculos. A primeira parte do trabalho, de natureza histórico-analítica, compreende a apresentação e discussão de dados relativos às atividades jornalísticas do escritor, especialmente durante os anos de sua colaboração como correspondente em Lisboa da Gazeta de Noticias. A segunda parte da tese apresenta toda a pesquisa realizada neste jornal, em cujas páginas se fez o levantamento total das matérias firmadas por Ramalho, além de uma amostragem de cartas, não encontradas em livros deste escritor. Ao mapear pioneiramente toda a participação de Ramalho Ortigão na Gazeta de Notícias, a presente tese demonstra e atesta o importante papel por ele desempenhado na imprensa brasileira, sobretudo no último quartel do século XIX. / The purpose of this thesis is to study the relations established between Ramalho Ortigão -- important Portuguese writer from the Geração de 70 with Brazil, particularly with the brazilian press. His well-known Portuguese Letters, published in Rio de Janeiro by Gazeta de Notícias, from July 12th 1877 to October 17th 1915, summing more than 500 contributions, as well the three month period that he spent in Brazil in the second semester of 1877, demonstrate that this relationship was close and productive. The first part of the thesis, that has an historical and analytical perspective, examines the writers journalistic activities, especially during the period in wich he was a correspondent for Gazeta de Notícias. The second part of the thesis presents the results of the research done in Gazeta de Notícias, with a comprehensive survey of all articles written by Ramalho. A sample of letters that cannot be found in the authors books is also included in this documental part of the work. Besides conducting a pioneering research of all Ramalho Ortigãos participation in that brazililan newspaper, the thesis demonstrates and confirms the important role he played in Brazilian press, especially in the last quarter of the nineteenth century.

Embedded in the transatlantic history of rock ‘n’ roll, punk rock has not only been regarded as a watershed moment in terms of music, aesthetics and music-related cultural practices, it has also been perceived as a subversive white cultural phenomenon. A Blacker and Browner Shade of Pale challenges this widespread and shortsighted assumption. People of color, particularly black Americans and Britons, and Latina/os have pro-actively contributed to punk’s evolution and shaped punk music culture in the United States and England. Examining why people of color are not linked to the punk rock genre and culture in normative discourse, this paper first scrutinizes the continuously unaddressed racialization of Anglo-American popular music itself and explores how the historical development and discursive construction of racial boundaries impacted the historiography of Anglo-American popular music. Building on these premises, the second central field of inquiry probes how the music press, aided and abetted by academic texts, constructs punk as a white music mono-culture that such discourse historicizes, analyzes, and maintains. Both popular (journalistic) and academic publications have largely ignored or underrepresented the presence of people of color, especially black (American) as well as Latina/o participants, in punk rock culture. The thesis’ third major focus imagines punk as a fluid social and musical convergence culture that continuously crosses unstable boundaries of genres, races, and genders. A Blacker and Browner Shade of Pale thus indicates an emerging awareness of how popular and academic discourse can become more sensitive to punk's multiracial, inclusive, and participatory mores.
