This project concerns various 20th-century rhetorical strategies for sexual liberation. First, I examine the work of Alfred C. Kinsey through the theories of Louis Althusser and Michel Foucault. In the second chapter I look at Kinsey's Female volume and argue that he uses the mid-century concern for marriage as a strategy for sexual liberation. Next, I trace the ways in which four female, post-Kinsey writers use Kinsey (explicitly or implicitly) for their own particular strategies for sexual liberation. Finally, my conclusion asks how we can develop an effective strategy for this new century. / Master of Arts

The text investigates the history of the Canterbury Museum’s collection of Japanese ukiyo-e prints and paintings focusing mainly on four major contributors: Sir Joseph Kinsey (1852-1936), Frances May Bailey (c.1891-1967), Greggory Kane (1921-1978) and Ronald J Scarlett (1911-2002). The images are set in the context of the ‘floating world’ (ukiyo). The introduction examines the early directors of the Museum and how their interests and policies influenced the collections. The method of grading the prints and the process by which the data base was formed are explained. Chapter One examines the way New Zealand was influenced by a growing interest in Japan during the early twentieth century, the effects of Japanese activity in the Pacific and the way the collectors responded. It also looks at the local cultural context in which the collectors acquired and exhibited their works. Exhibitions of Japanese and Chinese art occurred in 1935 and 1952 in Christchurch; such events widened the knowledge and aesthetic appreciation of Asian art. Chapter Two considers the subjects, scope, and range of ukiyo-e art and the artists represented in the Museum’s collection. It looks at the condition of the images, how they were made, the formats used, and whether they were printed from original or recut blocks. Japanese Government censorship and works of particular interest are discussed. Comparisons are made with the Dunedin Public Art Gallery’s and Auckland Art Gallery’s collections. Works by major artists including Hiroshige (1797-1858), Hokusai (1760-1849), Eizan (1787-1867), Eishi (1756-1829), Chikanobu (1838-1912), Toyokuni I (1769-1825), Kunisada (1786-1864) and Kuniyoshi (1798-1861) are evaluated. By reconstructing the collections of Japanese art in the Museum, the chapter reveals the collectors’ diverse interests and individual preferences. The research presented in this discussion stems from an extensive study of the 427 images in the collection and is supported by an illustrated database of all the Museum’s ukiyo-e works.

Professionella militärer menar att logistik har en avgörande roll för krigföringen. Trots detta är det få forskare som studerat logistikens betydelse. Fram till 1900-talets senare hälft var området i stort sett outforskat men sedan dess har fler och fler intresserat sig för logistiken. Jämfört med exempelvis strategi är det få, och relativt små, studier som genomförts men alla är överens om att området är dåligt utforskat. De få teorier som utvecklats om logistikens betydelse har prövats av respektive författare men ingen har jämfört och ställt teorierna mot varandra. I en studie av Falklandskriget 1982 kommer därför logistikens roll för utgången av konflikten att undersökas ur två teoretiska perspektiv. Thomas M. Kanes teori om logistiken som skiljedomare och Mark Erbels & Christopher Kinseys teori om det logistiskstrategiska navet kommer båda att appliceras på fallet och resultatet användas för att jämföra teoriernas skillnader i syfte att visa på möjligheter för framtida teoriutveckling. Resultatet visar att logistik spelade en avgörande roll för utgången av Falklandskriget och att den sida som hade de bästa logistiska förutsättningarna segrare. De båda teorierna visar sig kunna förklara detta men de skiljer sig åt. Dessa skillnader och de frågor som skapas visar på behovet av ytterligare forskning om logistik och dess relation till strategi.
