Mother Tongue : the use of another language and the impact on identity in Breyten Breytenbach's Dog Heart and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o 's MatigariSundy, Deborah 09 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines Breyten Breytenbach‟s memoir Dog Heart, and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong‟o‟s novel Matigari, with particular attention to the use of a mother tongue or another language in the texts, and whether these reflect or impact on the writers‟ sense of personal, cultural and political identity. It compares and contrasts the authors‟ views on, and experiences of, culture, language, translation and exile, and whether these aspects appear in the two primary works. Dilemmas associated with the authors‟ choice of language in their creative works, preferred audiences, and affiliations to their mother tongue speech communities are also explored. By drawing on Breytenbach‟s and Ngũgĩ‟s diverse stances on these issues, and following their respective publishing decisions, it is hoped an interesting conversation is created between these significant political activists and their writing. / English Studies / M.A. (English literature)

Genetic fingerprints of microalgal culture strains: amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) for investigations below the species level / Genetischer Fingerabdruck von Kulturstämmen von Mikroalgen: Untersuchungen unterhalb des Artniveaus mittels AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism)Müller, Julia 28 June 2005 (has links)
Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war die Untersuchung von Mikroalgen-Kulturstämmen unterhalb des Artniveaus. Für Service-Kulturensammlungen sind diese Untersuchungen wichtig, um die genetische Diversität der vorhandenen bzw. neu aufzunehmender Kulturen zu erfassen, Stämme eindeutig zu identifizieren oder auch Kontaminationen auszuschließen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden häufig in der Forschung genutzte Stämme von Mikroalgen mithilfe von genetischen Fingerabdrücken, die mit der AFLP (amplified fragment length polymorphism) Technik generiert wurden, untersucht. Mittels AFLP was es möglich, verschiedene Stämme derselben Art (Chlorella vulgaris) zu unterscheiden und für jedes Isolat einen charakteristischen genetischen Fingerabdruck zu erhalten. Da diese genomischen Variationen innerhalb derselben Art auch mit Unterschieden in physiologischen/biochemischen Eigenschaften korreliert sein können, ist es wichtig genau festzuhalten, welches Isolat für einen Versuch oder eine biotechnologische Anwendung verwendet wurde. Mit der AFLP-Technik war es ferner möglich, phänotypisch unterschiedliche Mutanten von Parachlorella kessleri und den entsprechenden Wildtyp zu unterscheiden. Normalerweise ist es mit AFLP nicht möglich, Algenkulturen zu untersuchen, die mit anderen Organismen kontaminiert sind. Das Problem hierbei ist, dass bei den generierten Fragmenten nicht unterschieden werden kann, ob sie von der Alge stammen oder von der Kontamination. Es konnte hier jedoch gezeigt werden, dass kontaminierte Kulturen trotzdem mit AFLP untersucht werden können. Hierzu war es nötig, Kulturen mit unterschiedlichem Verhältnis von Algen- und Bakterienzellen zu untersuchen. Außerdem konnte gezeigt werden, dass Infektionen von Algenkulturen mit Viren, die meistens schwer nachzuweisen sind, mittels AFLP festgestellt werden können. Kryokonservierung ist mittlerweile die Methode der Wahl zur Langzeitaufbewahrung von Mikroalgen. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass diese Aufbewahrungsmethode genetisch stabile Kulturen über Jahrzehnte hinweg garantieren kann. Jedoch wurde bis heute die genetische Stabilität von kryokonservierten Algen noch nicht überprüft und deshalb in der vorliegenden Arbeit mithilfe der AFLP-Technik untersucht.

Tokuya Higashigawa's After-Dinner Mysteries: Unusual Detectives in Contemporary Japanese Mystery FictionKindler, Jessica Claire 02 July 2013 (has links)
The detective fiction (tantei shōsetsu) genre is one that came into Japan from the West around the time of the Meiji Restoration (1868), and soon became wildly popular. Again in recent years, detective fiction has experienced a popularity boom in Japan, and there has been an outpouring of new detective fiction books as well as various television and movie adaptations. It is not a revelation that the Japanese detective fiction genre, while rife with imitation and homage to Western works, took a dramatic turn somewhere along the line, away from celebrated models like Poe, Doyle, and Christie, and developed into a unique subgenre of Japanese prose. However, despite its popularity and innovation, Japanese detective fiction has often been categorized as popular literature (taishū bungaku), which is historically disregarded as vulgar and common.
My thesis first consists of a brief introductory history oftantei shōsetsugenre in Japan. This includes a discussion of Japanese writers' anxiety concerning imitation of Western forms and their perception of themselves as imposters and imitators. Following this, I examine the ways in whichtantei shōsetsuwriters--particularly Edogawa Ranpo (1894 - 1965), the grandfather of the genre in Japan--began to deviate from the Western model in the 1920's. At the same time, I investigate the bias againsttantei shōsetsuas a vulgar or even pornographic genre. Through a discussion of literary critic Karatani Kōjin's ideas on the construction of depth in literature, I will demonstrate how Edogawa created, through his deviance from the West, a new kind of construction in detective fiction to bring a different sort of depth to what was generally considered merely a popular and shallow genre.
This discussion includes a look at the ideas of Tsubouchi Shōyō on writing modern novels, and Japanese conceptions of "pure" (junsui) and "popular" (taishū) literature. Through an examination of several of Edogawa's works and his use of psychology in creating interiority in his characters, I propose that the depth configuration, put forth by Karatani in his critique of canonical modern Japanese literature, is also present in popular fiction, like Edogawa'stantei shōsetsu. When viewed through the lens of Karatani's depth paradigm, we discover how detective fiction and the vulgarity therein may actually have more in common with "pure" fiction created by those writers who followed Shōyō's prescriptions.
In the final section of the introduction, I propose a definition of Japanese detective fiction that links Edogawa's works from the 1920's to the contemporary Japanese detective novel After-Dinner Mysteries (Nazotoki wa dinaa no ato de, 2010), by Higashigawa Tokuya. Thus we see that many of the themes and conventions present in Edogawa remain prevalent in contemporary writing. Finally, I present my translation of the first two chapters of After-Dinner Mysteries.

United States counter-narcotics policies towards Burma, and how the illegal myanmar regime is manipulating those policies to commit ethnic genocide.Hochstedler, Robert. 06 1900 (has links)
US counter-narcotic policies towards Burma have possessed a singular-focus. In other words, they have been based on the traditional bilateral triumvirate strategies of eradication, education, and interdiction. Eradicate the crops used to produce illicit narcotics, interdict the flow of illicit drug traffickers, and educate the general population on the dangers of continual drug usage. In the country of Burma though, there are other US policies which also have a singular focus, which have undermined the effectiveness of these policies. Since the Burmese military regime's brutal suppression of the pro-democracy movement in 1988, the US has severed all economic relations with the country. The Burmese economy, which was already far from stable, fell into a downward spiral as a result of these US-led policies. This did not result in a democratic transition. Over seventeen years since these economic sanctions have been in place, the US has not achieved a peaceful regime change in Burma. Furthermore, the attempts to remove the significant flow of illicit narcotics from the country have failed as well. The reason these two singular-oriented policies have failed is that they are targeted at a country much more complex than these strategies have been designed to handle. First of all, there are 135 ethnicities in Burma, while only a small portion of the Burman population maintains political and economic control. Although this would result in ineffective policies with little collateral impact, the ruling Tatmadaw regime has manipulated these policies to commit ethnic genocide upon the ethnic minorities within their territory. Unless a re-assessment of these policies is undertaken by the US and its allies, the only result of their policies will be the elimination of millions of ethnic minorities in this totalitarian state. Therefore, the US must re-assess its position of isolating the Myanmar regime, and focus on a policy of engagement. Only if a structured and progressive incentive policy of economic development is created in conjunction with the regime, can the separate triumvirate policies of counter-narcotics against the ethnic minorities in Burma become effective. / US Navy (USN) author.
