Colonizing masculinity : the creation of a male British subjectivity in the oriental fiction of W. Somerset MaughamHolden, Philip Joseph 05 1900 (has links)
This thesis discusses the oriental fiction of W. Somerset
Maugham in the light of current theoretical models
introduced by postcolonial and gender studies. Immensely
popular from their time of publication to the present,
Maugham's novels and short stories set in Asia and the South
Pacific exhibit a consummate recycling of colonialist
tropes. Through their manipulation of racial, gender, and
geographical binarisms, Maugham's texts produce a fantasy of
a seemingly stable British male subjectivity based upon
emotional and somatic continence, rationality, and
specularity. The status of the British male subject is
tested and confirmed by his activity in the colonies.
Maugham's situation of writing as a homosexual man, however,
results in affiliations which cut across the binary
oppositions which structure Maugham's texts, destabilising
the integrity of the subject they strive so assiduously to
create.
Commencing with Maugham's novel The Moon and Sixpence,
and his short story collection The Trembling of a Leaf, both
of which are set in the South Pacific, the thesis moves to a
discussion of Maugham's Chinese travelogue, On a Chinese
Screen, and his Hong Kong novel, The Painted Veil. Further
chapters explore the Malayan short stories, and Maugham's
novel set in the then Dutch East Indies, The Narrow Corner.
A final chapter discusses Maugham's novel of India, The
Razor's Edge. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Maugham
does not even attempt a liberal critique of British
Imperialism. Writing and narration are, for him, processes
closely identified with codes of imperial manliness.
Maugham's putatively objective narrators, and the public
"Maugham persona" which the writer carefully cultivated,
display a strong investment in the British male subjectivity
outlined above. Yet Maugham's texts also endlessly discover
writing as a play of signification, of decoration, of
qualities that he explicitly associates in other texts with
homosexuality. If Maugham's texts do not critique the
formation of colonial subjects they do, to a critical
reader, make the rhetoric necessary to create such subjects
peculiarly visible.

A detailed analysis of ringed seal remains (Phoca hispida) from three seasonally different Thule sites at Hazard Inlet, Somerset Island (Nunavut) /Iorio, Christine J. January 2005 (has links)
This thesis presents an exploratory approach using detailed zooarchaeological analysis to evaluate the nature of ringed seal ( Phoca hispida) remains from three seasonally different Thule sites in the Hazard Inlet area of Somerset Island, Nunavut. Most Thule research focuses on winter occupation and presents Thule as a whaling society. Little attention has been given on the nature of sealing during Thule occupation and research on seasonal differences of seal remains from Thule sites remains scarce. This thesis is thus one of the first to focus on ringed seal remains from seasonally different Thule sites through an analysis of over 30,000 bone specimens. The goal of this thesis is to determine if the seal assemblages are a product of differential butchering and transport, taphonomic processes, or if external factors are also playing a role in shaping the faunal record. The analysis considers variability within each site as well as between the sites. Overall, a moderate to strong correlation was found between bone density and the seal bone elements identified while a negative correlation existed with the elements and FUI (food utility indices). This led to the conclusion that taphonomy was the leading agent shaping the seal remains at Hazard Inlet. However, enough variation existed within each site to consider the role of outside factors, such as the presence of dogs, food preferences, food storage and season of occupation in shaping the seal remains at Hazard Inlet.

Ringed seal mortality patterns as an aid in the determination of Thule Eskimo subsistence strategiesDanielson, Robert A. (Robert Alden) January 1994 (has links)
Dental annuli analyses were performed on 170 ringed seal (Phoca hispida) canines recovered from five Thule semisubterranean houses located at site PaJs-13 at Hazard Inlet, Somerset Island in the central Canadian Arctic. Season of death results indicate greater seal hunting during the spring. Age at death results were used to produce mortality profiles which, when compared with idealized patterns, revealed a prime-dominated pattern indicating the presence of some selective factor in the subsistence strategy. Based on ethnographical studies of traditional seal hunting techniques, conscious selection was eliminated as a factor. Biological studies of ringed seal demonstrate that during the spring, older, sexually mature seals, occupy breeding areas in stable fast ice formations located close to the coast in complex coastal areas. Younger immature seals, on the other hand, occupy areas of unstable pack ice formations either further from the shore in complex coastal areas, or along simple coastlines. The archaeological mortality patterns do not clearly resemble either complex or simple coast modern populations, although a trend toward simple coasts was observed. This observation is consistent with the site location, which allows greater access to pack ice formations. The appearance of selective biological factors affecting random human subsistence strategies indicates that caution must be utilized when interpreting mortality patterns.
