2	This Body is Without a Head: The Dilemma of Free Will and Social Cohesion in Post-Civil War England Jary, Sheena Melissa January 2022 (has links) This dissertation examines how the chaotic social space of post-civil war England inspired new ideas of the ideal social structure and its ability to create social and political stability. Focusing on three non-fiction prose tracts, Margaret Cavendish’s Worlds Olio (1655), Thomas Traherne’s Christian Ethicks (1675), and Gerrard Winstanley’s Law of Freedom (1652), I use the concept of “space-making,” or “how texts aided readers in producing the space in which they understood humanity to be living” (Sauter 47), to engage three distinct perspectives on social cohesion. I situate my study within the larger context of the scientific revolution, and what Michael Sauter calls the “spatial reformation,” whereby humanist thinkers embraced Euclidean geometry to “make” space in a manner akin to God. I argue that, through their writing, Cavendish, Traherne, and Winstanley structure theoretical space to control, guide, or influence how social beings relate to one another and to the state. In doing so they make social space heterogeneous. The authors create theoretical spaces in which alternatives to England’s social structure are outlined. These alternatives reflect the subjectivity and interests of the space-maker, and while each author wishes to establish social cohesion in post-civil war England, the spaces they create reveal unique perspectives on social responsibility, free will, and self-preservation, leading readers to question the benefits and drawbacks of social cohesion. / Dissertation / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This dissertation examines three works of non-fiction prose by Margaret Cavendish, Thomas Traherne, and Gerrard Winstanley, all of whom were seventeenth-century writers. I examine the ways that social structure in post-civil war England in fact rejects the geometric premise popular among canonical natural philosophers that all space (including the spaces we inhabit as human beings) was homogeneous. Instead, I argue that homogeneous space is oppressive in a social context, while also acknowledging that heterogeneous social spaces (spaces that are divided and have distinct "parts") also tended to limit the free will of social actors, particularly those in the lower classes. I examine themes related to free will, self-interest, and subjectivity, specifically with respect to how these themes can both create or detract from social cohesion.
3	Praktiska digitala medium i historieundervisningen : En översikt av forskning om hur digitalt game-based learning kan användas för att förbättra elevernas kunskap om historieämnet / Practical digital mediums in historical education : An overview of research regarding digital games uses of improving the students knowledge of history Gullstrand, Dennis, Lund, Erik January 2024 (has links) The traditional history educational methods mainly consists of and are focused on memory, reading, repetition and writing skills, however this paper aims to give an overview of research regarding “Game-based learning”, it’s uses in education of history, and if it can be used as a way to complement the traditional education and give history teachers the tools to make their teaching more diverse. Useful materials were found in the databases: EBSCO, IEEE Xplore och Science Direct. Each of the 3 practical and 3 informational studies has been carefully selected by their subject relevance and the quality of the study’s gathering, use and compilation of data. The results in this overview are both positive and negative. The studies found on the subject show that the students not only learn historical facts when using game-based learning but also become very engaged in the lesson and achieve a deeper historical perspective where they can understand the historical events in the historical context and relate to people of that point in time. However, the drawbacks are that some students have been reported to have missed some facts altogether, and that would have been avoided in traditional education (Erhel & Jamet, 2013). Another drawback that has been noted is that Game Based learning is incredibly time consuming and if it is not used correctly it risks creating a dilemma for the history teacher where the teacher has to choose Game-based learning or traditional education of history (Watson & Mong & Harris, 2010). But if it is used correctly, studies have also shown that they can be combined (Erhel & Jamet, 2013; Kuran & Tozoglu & Tavernari, 2018). history history didactics history education didactics practical game based learning game games digital computer Assassin's Creed Making History Crusader Kings Hearts of Iron high school historia historiedidaktik historieundervisning undervisning didaktik praktiskt game based learning spel digital digitala dator Assassin's Creed Making History Crusader Kings Hearts of Iron gymnasie gymnasiet högstadium högstadiet grundskola History Historia
4	New Zealand Prints 1900-1950: An Unseen Heritage Ross, Gail Macdonald January 2006 (has links) The vibrant school of printmaking which emerged and flourished in New Zealand between 1900 and 1950 forms the subject of this thesis. It examines the attitudes of the printmakers, many of whom regarded the print as the most democratic of art forms and one that should reflect the realities of everyday life. Their subject matter, contemporary city scenes, people at work and leisure, local landscapes, Maori and indigenous flora and fauna, is analysed and revealed as anticipating by over a decade that of regionalist painters. They are also identified as the first New Zealand artists to draw attention to social and environmental issues. Trained under the British South Kensington art education system, New Zealand printmakers placed great importance on craftsmanship. Although some worked in a realist style others experimented with abstraction and surrealism, placing them among the forefront of New Zealand artists receptive to modern art. Expatriate New Zealand printmakers played significant roles in three major printmaking movements abroad, the Artists' International Alliance, Atelier 17 and the Claude Flight Linocut Movement. The thesis redresses the failure of existing histories of New Zealand art to recognise the existence of a major twentieth-century art movement. It identifies the main factors contributing to the low status of printmaking in New Zealand. Commercial artists rather than those with a fine arts background led the Quoin Club, which initiated a New Zealand school of printmaking in 1916; Gordon Tovey's overthrow of the South Kensington system in 1945 devalued the craftsmanship so important to printmakers; and the rise of modernism, which gave priority to formal values and abstraction, further exacerbated institutional indifference to the print. The adoption of Maori imagery by printmakers resulted in recent art historians retrospectively accusing them of cultural appropriation. Even the few printmakers who attained some recognition were criticised for their involvement in textile and bookplate design and book-illustration. Key artists discussed in the thesis include James Boswell, Stephen Champ, Frederick Coventry, Rona Dyer, Arnold Goodwin, Thomas Gulliver, Trevor Lloyd, Stewart Maclennan, Gilbert Meadows, John L. Moore, E. Mervyn Taylor, Arthur Thompson, Herbert Tornquist, Frank Weitzel, Hilda Wiseman, George Woods, John Buckland Wright and Adele Younghusband. Details of the approximately 3,000 prints created during this period are recorded in a database, and summarised in the Printmakers' Survey included in Volume Two. In addition reproductions of 156 prints are illustrated and documented; while a further 43 prints are reproduced within the text of Volume One. abstraction Atelier 17 Colour Linocut Movement Quoin Club democratic print regionalism
5	La culture du vin dans la littérature italienne du Moyen Âge tardif au début des Temps Modernes: critères de qualité, systèmes de représentation et identités Grappe, Yann D. 19 October 2009 (has links) Cette étude entend rechercher les traces d'une culture gastronomique du vin dans la littérature italienne sur la période à cheval entre l'époque médiévale et les Temps modernes. La littérature, lorsqu'on lui applique une critique appropriée, est en mesure de fournir à l'historien des informations ponctuelles sur la culture du vin. Elle permet également de mettre en lumière le regard porté par les hommes sur cet objet chargé de significations. Dans le cadre de cette étude, la gastronomie ne sera pas considérée comme une notion vague, voire anecdotique mais comme un phénomène culturel qui place l'homme en relation avec les différentes réalités alimentaires, sensorielles et hédoniques. <p>À quoi tient la qualité d'un vin ?Cette question simple présente l'avantage d'ouvrir une large perspective de recherche historique et anthropologique. Pister les critères de qualité d'un vin pour les hommes d'une autre culture et d'un autre temps c'est aussi comprendre la manière dont ils ont cherché à représenter cet objet. Ce système de représentation révèle la pensée et l'imaginaire des hommes, en même temps qu'il dévoile les valeurs, les identités et les structures socio-économiques d'une société. <p> / Doctorat en Histoire, art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished Sciences humaines Histoire Italian literature -- Themes, motives Wine in literature Gastronomy -- History -- Italy Diet -- History -- Italy Wine and wine making -- History -- Italy Taste -- History Vin dans la littérature Gastronomie -- Histoire -- Italie Alimentation -- Histoire -- Italie Goût -- Histoire histoire des cépages critères de qualité du vin systèmes de représentation histoire du vin culture du vin gastronomie gastronomie historique terroir œnologie identités territoriales histoire du goût identités identité sociale de l'alimentation histoire de l'alimentation
