481	The Political Implications of Nietzsche's Perspectivism Etro-Beko, Tansy Anada 30 November 2018 (has links) In the first chapter of my doctoral thesis, entitled The Political Implications of Nietzsche's Perspectivism, I argue that due to conflicting passages present throughout his oeuvre, Nietzsche is best understood as a twofold metaphysical sceptic. That is, a sceptic about the existence of the external world, and consequently, as a sceptic about such a world's correspondence to our perspectives. Nietzsche presents a threefold conceptualization of 'nihilism' and a twofold one of the 'will to power.' Neutral nihilism is humanity's inescapable condition of having no non-humanly created meanings and values. This state can be interpreted positively as an opportunity to create one's own meanings and values, or negatively as a terrifying incentive to return to dogmatism. The will to power is life before and as it becomes life, the unqualified will to power, and all the realities in it, the qualifiable will to power. The combination of these ontological concepts brings me to my second chapter and to the determination of Nietzsche's general epistemology: perspectivism. Perspectivism is an admittedly created, ontologically derived interpretation of knowledge, which both entails and goes beyond relativism. Nietzsche's perspectivism is constructed to support any norm that allows for univocal evaluations, not just Nietzsche's. Moreover, it can be derived from any ontology that conceptualizes life as a unit of growth and decay and human beings as creators of all their perspectives. These two elastic concepts allow me to propose, in my third chapter, that, although his texts disavow an all-inclusive democracy in favour of a new spiritual aristocracy, on the one hand, the proper political implications of perspectivism allow for democracy, while on the other hand, Nietzsche can be read as disapproving of an all inclusive or representative democracy, yet as approving of the direct democracy that arises naturally among elite peers.

In the economical bias, this study intends to demonstrate that the coffee economy produced enough surplus to allow its own expansion. The study also peruses the data about slave families in those inventories intending to demonstrate that slaves, who were mostly Africans, were active agents in the formation of their families, keeping a social life based on their memories and on the making of a new AfroBrazilian identity. / O presente trabalho analisa cinco inventários dos maiores produtores de café no município de Piraí, no Vale do Paraíba, entre os anos de 1839 e 1848, totalizando quase dois mil escravos. A partir de uma perspectiva de historia econômica pretende-se mostrar que a produção cafeeira permitia o acúmulo de capital e seu reinvestimento na expansão da monocultura. O estudo dos cativeiros também busca evidenciar que os cativos, africanos em sua maioria, eram agentes na formação de suas famílias, mantendo um espaço de sociabilidade baseado na memória e na construção de uma nova identidade afro-brasileira.

Através de sua experiência, os cativos formaram diversos arranjos familiares, que excediam a noção tradicionalmente ideal de matrimônio e núcleo familiar. Em meio a essa multiplicidade, constituiu-se uma família mista, na qual os laços de parentesco dos escravos ultrapassaram os limites de sua condição social e alcançaram os livres e libertos que trabalhavam e conviviam a seu lado. O processo de combinação entre condições sociais diferentes desencadeou a mistura de distintos tons percebidos nas peles da população livre e cativa, tanto que, ao chegar na segunda metade do século XIX, a família escrava era mestiça, caracterizada pela enorme quantidade de Cabras, Caboclos, Negros e Mulatos.

Para tanto, foi feito o intercruzamento de fontes variadas relativas aos mesmos grupos de cativos pertencentes a três famílias abastadas, procurando sempre que possível acompanhar esses escravizados ao longo do tempo. Houve a preocupação de investigar as famílias senhoriais proprietárias desses cativos. Analisamos como se deu a manutenção e/ou a ampliação das posses cativas, se por meio do tráfico e/ou da reprodução natural, fatores que influenciavam a formação das famílias escravas. Da mesma forma, procuramos avançar um pouco mais na compreensão das relações familiares dos cativos e de sua estabilidade, bem como na avaliação da importância da família escrava para os projetos de obtenção da liberdade por meio da alforria / Abstract The object of this thesis was to study the family relationships of slaves in Juiz de Fora, a plantation area in the region of the Zona da Mata Mineira, during the nineteenth century. This was done by cross-referencing various sources relating to the slaves of three well-to-do families, trying always to follow these bondspeople over time. The examination of the slave-owning families was also of concern. We have analyzed how slave holdings were maintained and/or increased, whether though the slave trade and/or by natural reproduction, factors that influenced the formation of slave families. In addition, we tried to advance our knowledge of the family relationships of the slaves and of their stability, as well as assess the importance of the slave family for the project of obtaining freedom through manumission / Doutorado / Historia Social / Doutor em História Escravos - Tráfico Escravos - Alforrias Familia - Brasil - Sec.

486	Listening/Reading for Disremembered Voices: Additive Archival Representation and the Zong Massacre of 1781 Cartaya, Jorge E 27 March 2017 (has links) This thesis grapples with questions surrounding representation, mourning, and responsibility in relation to two literary representations of the ZONG massacre of 1781. These texts are M. NourbeSe Philip’s ZONG! and Fred D’Aguiar’s FEEDING THE GHOSTS. The only extant archival document—a record of the insurance dispute which ensued as a consequence of the massacre—does not represent the drowned as victims, nor can it represent the magnitude of the atrocity. As such, this thesis posits that the archival gaps or silences from which the captives’ voices are missing become spaces of possibility for additive representation. This thesis also examines the role voice and sound play in these literary texts and the deconstructive-ethical philosophies of Jean-Luc Nancy and Jacques Derrida. This thesis argues that these texts invoke the sonic materiality of voice in the service of responding to the disremembered dead through mourning and acknowledgment.

488	"Deep" South: Mammoth Cave, Kentucky, and Environmental Knowledge, 1800-1974 Warrick, Alyssa Diane 08 December 2017 (has links) Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the longest known cave in the world. This dissertation examines the history of how scientists and non-scientists alike contributed to a growing body of knowledge about Mammoth Cave and how that knowledge in turn affected land use decisions in the surrounding neighborhood. During the nineteenth century visitors traveled through Mammoth Cave along with their guides, gaining knowledge of the cave by using their senses and spreading that knowledge through travel narratives. After the Civil War, cave guides, now free men who chose to stay in the neighborhood, used the cave as a way to build and support their community. New technologies and new visitors reconstructed the Mammoth Cave experience. Competing knowledge of locals and science-minded individuals, new technologies to spread the cave experience, and a growing tourism industry in America spurred the Kentucky Cave Wars during the late-nineteenth century. In the twentieth century, cutthroat competition between caves crystallized support for a national park at Mammoth Cave. Park promoters met resistance. Cave owners’ knowledge of what they owned underground helped them resist condemnation. Those affected by the coming of the national park made their protests known on the landscape, in newspapers, and in courtrooms. The introduction of New Deal workers, primarily the Civilian Conservation Corps, at Mammoth Cave and a skeleton staff of National Park Service officials faced antagonism from the local community. Important discoveries inside Mammoth Cave hastened the park’s creation, but not without lingering bitterness that would affect later preservation efforts. The inability of the park promoters to acquire two caves around Mammoth Cave was a failure for the national park campaign but a boon for exploration. The postwar period saw returning veterans and their families swarming national parks. While the parking lots at Mammoth Cave grew crowded and the Park Service attempted to balance preservation and development for the enjoyment of the visiting public, underground explorers were pushing the cave’s known extent to new lengths. This new knowledge inspired a new generation of environmentalists and preservationists to use the Wilderness Act to advocate for a cave wilderness designation at Mammoth Cave National Park.

The Quakers and the Anglican evangelicals spearheaded the movement whose organization was the London Abolition Committee. They collected several hundred thousand signatures of people against the slave trade. The abolition of the British slave trade was effected on 1807. The anti-slavery associstion was formed in 1823. Ten years later slavery was abolished in the British colonies. But the slaves were not emancipated completely, because they, as an apprentice, were obligated to work 45 hours per week under their former masters.The apprenticeship was abolished in 1838. / 博士(経済学) / Doctor of Economics / 同志社大学 / Doshisha University イギリス西インドシエラ・レオネブラジル奴隷貿易の廃止奴隷制の廃止クウェイカー教徒国教会福音主義派奴隷と労働者 Britain West Indies Sierra Leone Brazil abolition of the slave trade abolition of slavery Quakers Anglican evangericals slaves and labourers
490	King Leopold II's Exploitation of the Congo From 1885 to 1908 and Its Consequences Johnson, Steven 01 August 2014 (has links) This thesis argues that King Leopold II, in his exploitation of the Congo, dealt the Congo a future of political, ethnic, and economic destabilization. At one time consisting of unified and advanced kingdoms, the Congo turned to one completely beleaguered by poverty and political oppression. Leopold acquired the Congo through unethical means and thus took the people's chances away at self-rule. He provided for no education or vocational training, which would stunt future Congolese leaders from making sound economic and political policies. Leopold also exploited the Congo with the help of concession companies, both of which used forced labor to extract valuable resources. Millions of Congolese died and the Congo itself became indebted through Belgian loans that were given with no assurance they could ever truly be paid back due to the crippled economy of the Congo. With the Congo now in crippling debt, the current president, Joseph Kabila, has little incentive to invest in reforms or public infrastructure, which stunts economic growth.1 For over a century the Congo has been ruled by exploitative and authoritarian regimes due to Leopold's initial acquisition. The colonization from Leopold lasted from 1885-1908, and then he sold it to his home country of Belgium who ruled the Congo from 1908 to 1960. Belgium helped prop up a dictator named Joseph Mobutu or Mobutu Sese Seko who ruled from 1965 to 1997. Afterwards he was overthrown by the Kabila family who has continued the exploitative rule and has made no significant efforts at democratization or reforms. Thus the ethnic conflicts, political oppression and economic woes that the Congo is facing today are inevitably linked to its Leopoldian past. History
