Misinterpreted experiences : the tension between imagination and divine revelation in early 19th century Anglo American Gothic fictionDabek, Diana I. 13 July 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to analyze the ways in which 19th century Gothic fiction novelists Charles Brockden Brow and James Hogg explore the themes of religious enthusiasm and divine revelation. A close look at these texts reveals a common interest in the tension between the imagination and reality. By analyzing the philosophical and theological roots of these issues it becomes clear that Wieland and Confessions of a Justified Sinner mirror the anxieties of 19th century Anglo American culture. Questions regarding voice and authority, the importance of testimony, and religious seduction are common to both novels. I maintain that these authors comment on the obscure nature of human rationale by presenting readers with narrators that exhibit traits of delusion and spiritual awakening.

Fellowship centres for urban Canadian Indians : a comparative assessment of the "Coqualeetza" movement in Vancouver, and other comparable developments in eight Canadian citiesEvans, Marjorie Gertrude January 1961 (has links)
The continued "stereotyping" of Indians, because of imperfect knowledge and a lack of appreciation of their history and culture, is a barrier to understanding of their present poverty and underdevelopment. In recent years, more attention is being paid to the number of Indians who are migrating to the cities from the reserves. There are two main reasons for this; one is the hope of finding employment opportunities; the other is to take further training, which may be academic, technical or vocational.
This study examines the needs of the Indian in the city, how they differ from the needs of other migrants, and what is being done to provide for them. In many instances it has been difficult for the Indian to adjust to life in an industrial urban centre. The cultural values are quite different from those to which he is accustomed on Indian reserves or from most of the small communities with which he is familiar. In his need for companionship and understanding, he has seldom been able to avail himself of opportunities to use existing resources in the cities, partly through unfamiliarity with the services offered, partly through shyness or fear of rebuff. Across Canada, associations have been formed by Indians, and in many cases with the cooperation of non-Indian well-wishers, to meet the social needs of these newcomers. A questionnaire was used to gain information from a representative number throughout Canada, especially on (a) the objectives of the associations, (b) the activities they sponsored, and (c) the problems they helped to solve. However, since so few have had more than a few month's experience, it is necessary to regard this largely as an exploratory study.
The associations are providing new social relationships and personal services for the Indians in the cities. In so doing they help them feel a sense of participation, and they also increase the Indian's sense of responsibility and possible leadership. There is increasing awareness that the Indian needs help in solving some of his problems, but that he should be helped in the ways he chooses, and in the manner he finds most comfortable. Indian Friendship Centres can be a valuable base to facilitate his adjustment to the city, and his integration into Canadian society generally. There is obvious room for the employment of qualified social workers, as well as volunteers, in this activity. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

Esilao : a pit house village in the Fraser Canyon, British ColumbiaMitchell, Donald Hector January 1963 (has links)
This thesis undertakes a comparative study of two adjacent, yet
linguistically distinct Fraser River Canyon groups -- the Tait and
the Lower Thompson -- through an examination of ethnographic and
archaeological data. The archaeological examination is based on results
provided by an excavation at the recent Tait pit house village of
Esilao in the Canyon near Yale, British Columbia.
There were two related objectives. The purpose of the archaeological
study was to test whether there was a discernible overlapping of ethnographic
and archaeological data. Secondly, the Canyon culture was to be
examined to determine whether it showed a greater alignment with the
coast or with the interior.
The results of ethnographic study show considerable uniformity of
Canyon culture and pronounced interior affinities. The archaeological
investigation reveals much overlap between ethnographic and archaeological
data and indicates that the Esilao village assemblage had a definite
interior alignment, thus lending support to the ethnographic findings. / Arts, Faculty of / Anthropology, Department of / Graduate

Plant taxonomic systems and ethnobotany of three contemporary Indian groups of the Pacific Northwest (Haida, Bella Coola, and Lillooet)Turner, Nancy Jean January 1973 (has links)
Plant names in three Pacific Northwest Indian languages -- Haida
(Skidegate and Masset dialects), Bella Coola, and Lillooet (Fraser
River "dialect") -- were analyzed semantically and taxonomically. A
computerized sorting system was developed to handle pertinent information
associated with these names and their corresponding plant types.
At the present time, each language contains an average of about
150 generic-level plant names, over 50% of which correspond in a one-to-
one fashion with botanical species. Some of the names have no meaning
other than as plant names, but most are analyzable into smaller
units of meaning, reflecting traditional beliefs, utilization, innate
characteristics of the plants, or their resemblance to some substance,
object, or other plant. Some of the generic terms are obviously borrowed
from other languages, and a number of taxa can be found in each
language which originally applied to indigenous species and have been
expanded in recent times to include cultivated or imported counterparts.
Each language contains a few general "life-form" plant names, a
number of intermediate taxa -- usually unnamed, and in Haida and Lillooet,
a few specific-level terms. None of the groups has an all-inclusive
word for "plant". There are also several specialized generic-
level terms in each language, and many general names for parts
of plants.
Cultural significance of plants correlates positively with the
degree of specificity of names applied to them, with the number of
specialized terms associated with them, and with the lexical retention
of their names in diverging dialects. Linguistic origin, floristic
diversity, cultural traits, inter-group contact, and especially the
recent acculturation of native peoples into "white" society, are believed
to be major factors influencing the character of phytotaxonomic
systems of the three study groups.
Maps of the study areas are provided, and appendixes are included
listing all plant names used in the study, their botanical correspondence,
and the utilization and cultural significance of the plants involved. / Science, Faculty of / Botany, Department of / Graduate
