31	臺灣高級中學世界史課程中的歐洲中心觀：1952–2015 / The Eurocentrism in Taiwan High School World History Courses,1952–2015 胡捷, Hu, Chieh Unknown Date (has links) 臺灣的世界史教育自1949年以來已經走過一甲子，歷史課本的改革卻不會因為歲月匆匆而走到終點，課本只能不斷的被完善，方能教育出更好的下一代，以完成百年大計。本文除了第一章緒論與第五章結語之外，正文一共分為三章。第二章講述課綱與時代的互動，歐洲中心觀是如何在臺灣的世界史扎根，將討論臺灣政治氛圍與兩岸對峙的影響，以及冷戰與後冷戰時代，歷史學術思潮的變遷。第三章將進入課本文本，分析歐洲中心觀與課本論述方式，首先從十八世紀興起的大論述與輝格歷史學切入，討論兩者如何相輔相成，呈現在教科書內。再者討論戰後臺灣成為美國冷戰結構下一環，學習諸多美國的現代化理論，對課本的書寫產生了許多影響。以及臺灣內部的國族主義訴求，跨越了本國史進入世界史領域。第四章則討論課本細部的名詞翻譯與圖片使用，除了反應了歐洲中心觀，還可以追尋出臺灣課本強烈的英語中心觀，讓臺灣的世界史至今仍然籠罩在不列顛的影響之下。透過上述各章節，我們可以從課綱、課本、圖文等三個層次來檢視臺灣的世界史如何呈現歐洲中心觀，寄望能給予課本編審者作為參考 / Taiwan’s high school has taught Wolrd History in the course of history over sixty year since 1949. Nonethless, the need of revising the course would never come to an end: constant improvments should be implemented in order to provide better teaching for the next generations. The main part of the dissertation is divided into three chapters. Chapter Two starts with the curriculum guidelines and the background, illustrating how the base of Eurocentrism was built in Wold History courses. It relates the phenomenon to the context that Taiwan has been influenced by the political atmophere during the Cold War, and later scholarly trends in global Post-Cold War academe. In Carpter Three, the focus moves to textbooks, specifically on (1) the relation between the Grand Narrative and the Whigs History and their reflections in textbooks; (2) The adaption of Modernization theories from the US, in a context of Taiwan as an ally in Cold War that this is exacly the reason for the overwhelmingly presence of the States in Taiwanese history education; (3) The ideology of Nationalism, which results in a phenomenon that the narratives of World History in textbooks are often biased to meet the nationalist need. Last, in Chapter Four, it manifies the deatails in textboks, i.e. the choice of translational terms and the arrangement of maps. It contends that terms and maps in Taiwan World History textbooks reflect not just Eurocentricem but English-Centrism which still envelops nowadays Taiwan. In brief, the analyses of Eurocentrism in these chapters are arranged in theree levels: curriculum guidelines, textbooks, and finally terms and maps. Additionally, the dissertation provides some advice for textbook writers. 高中歷史世界史歐洲中心觀大論述輝格史學現代化理論東方主義 High School History World History Eurocetrisim Grand Narrative Whig History Modern Therory Orentalism
32	Henry S. Lane and the birth of the Indiana Republican Party, 1854-1861 Zachary, Lauren E. January 2013 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Although the main emphasis of this study is Lane and his part in the Republican Party, another important part to this thesis is the examination of Indiana and national politics in the 1850s. This thesis studies the development of the Hoosier Republican Party and the obstacles the young organization experienced as it transformed into a major political party. Party leaders generally focused on states like New York and Pennsylvania in national elections but Indiana became increasingly significant leading up to the 1860 election. Though Hoosier names like George Julian and Schuyler Colfax might be more recognizable nationally for their role in the Republican Party, this thesis argues that Lane played a guiding role in the development of the new third party in Indiana. Through the study of primary sources, it is clear that Hoosiers turned to Lane to lead the organization of the Republican Party and to lead it to its success in elections. Historians have long acknowledged Lane’s involvement in the 1860 Republican National Convention but fail to fully realize his significance in Indiana throughout the 1850s. This thesis argues that Lane was a vital leader in Hoosier politics and helped transform the Republican Party in Indiana from a grassroots movement into a powerful political party by 1860.

33	The Episcopal congregation of Charlotte Chapel, Edinburgh, 1794-1818 Harris, Eleanor M. January 2013 (has links) This thesis reassesses the nature and importance of the Scottish Episcopal Church in Edinburgh and more widely. Based on a microstudy of one chapel community over a twenty-four year period, it addresses a series of questions of religion, identity, gender, culture and civic society in late Enlightenment Edinburgh, Scotland, and Britain, combining ecclesiastical, social and economic history. The study examines the congregation of Charlotte Episcopal Chapel, Rose Street, Edinburgh, from its foundation by English clergyman Daniel Sandford in 1794 to its move to the new Gothic chapel of St John's in 1818. Initially an independent chapel, Daniel Sandford's congregation joined the Scottish Episcopal Church in 1805 and the following year he was made Bishop of Edinburgh, although he contined to combine this role with that of rector to the chapel until his death in 1830. Methodologically, the thesis combines a detailed reassessment of Daniel Sandford's thought and ministry (Chapter Two) with a prosopographical study of 431 individuals connected with the congregation as officials or in the in the chapel registers (Chapter Three). Biography of the leader and prosopography of the community are brought to illuminate and enrich one another to understand the wealth and business networks of the congregation (Chapter Four) and their attitudes to politics, piety and gender (Chapter Five). The thesis argues that Daniel Sandford's Evangelical Episcopalianism was both original in Scotland, and one of the most successful in appealing to educated and influential members of Edinburgh society. The congregation, drawn largely from the newly-built West End of Edinburgh, were bourgeois and British in their composition. The core membership of privileged Scots, rooted in land and law, led, but were also challenged by and forced to adapt to a broad social spread who brought new wealth and influence into the West End through India and the consumer boom. The discussion opens up many avenues for further research including the connections between Scottish Episcopalianism and romanticism, the importance of India and social mobility within the consumer economy in the development of Edinburgh, and Scottish female intellectual culture and its engagement with religion and enlightenment. Understanding the role of enlightened, evangelical Episcopalianism, which is the contribution of this study, will form an important context for these enquiries. 283
34	Too foul and dishonoring to be overlooked : newspaper responses to controversial English stars in the Northeastern United States, 1820-1870 Smith, Tamara Leanne 30 September 2010 (has links) In the nineteenth century, theatre and newspapers were the dominant expressions of popular culture in the northeastern United States, and together formed a crucial discursive node in the ongoing negotiation of American national identity. Focusing on the five decades between 1820 and 1870, during which touring stars from Great Britain enjoyed their most lucrative years of popularity on United States stages, this dissertation examines three instances in which English performers entered into this nationalizing forum and became flashpoints for journalists seeking to define the nature and bounds of American citizenship and culture. In 1821, Edmund Kean’s refusal to perform in Boston caused a scandal that revealed a widespread fixation among social elites with delineating the ethnic and economic limits of citizenship in a republican nation. In 1849, an ongoing rivalry between the English tragedian William Charles Macready and his American competitor Edwin Forrest culminated in the deadly Astor Place riot. By configuring the actors as champions in a struggle between bourgeois authority and working-class populism, the New York press inserted these local events into international patterns of economic conflict and revolutionary violence. Nearly twenty years later, the arrival of the Lydia Thompson Burlesque Troupe in 1868 drew rhetoric that reflected the popular press’ growing preoccupation with gender, particularly the question of woman suffrage and the preservation of the United States’ international reputation as a powerfully masculine nation in the wake of the Civil War. Three distinct cultural currents pervade each of these case studies: the new nation’s anxieties about its former colonizer’s cultural influence, competing political and cultural ideologies within the United States, and the changing perspectives and agendas of the ascendant popular press. Exploring the points where these forces intersect, this dissertation aims to contribute to an understanding of how popular culture helped shape an emerging sense of American national identity. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that in the mid-nineteenth century northeastern United States, popular theatre, newspapers, and audiences all contributed to a single media formation in which controversial English performers became a rhetorical antipode against which “American” identity could be defined. / text Actors Acting Alabama claims Anglophobia Astor Place Riot Audience Audiences Bowery Boys Burlesque Citizenship Class Controversy Democratic Party Kean, Edmund Forrest, Edwin England Femininity Feminism Gender Great Britain Rynders, Isaiah Jewish American identity Jews United States Identity Journalism Thompson, Lydia Masculinity Media Media formations Melodrama Walsh, Mike Noah, Mordecai National Advocate National identity Nationalism New York New York Herald New York Tribune Newspapers Nineteenth century Northeastern United States Logan, Olive Performance Popular culture Popular press Mass print media Republican Party Revolution, 1848-1849 Rhetoric Scandal Shakespeare Spirit of the Times Suffrage Nativism Theatre Touring stars Whig Party Macready, William Charles Richard III (play) Merchant of Venice Shylock
35	Political Atheism vs. The Divine Right of Kings: Understanding 'The Fairy of the Lake' (1801) Post, Andy 30 April 2014 (has links) In 'Political Atheism vs. The Divine Right of Kings,' I build on Thompson and Scrivener’s work analysing John Thelwall’s play 'The Fairy of the Lake' as a political allegory, arguing all religious symbolism in 'FL' to advance the traditionally Revolutionary thesis that “the King is not a God.” My first chapter contextualises Thelwall’s revival of 17th century radicalism during the French Revolution and its failure. My second chapter examines how Thelwall’s use of fire as a symbol discrediting the Saxons’ pagan notion of divine monarchy, also emphasises the idolatrous apotheosis of King Arthur. My third chapter deconstructs the Fairy of the Lake’s water and characterisation, and concludes her sole purpose to be to justify a Revolution beyond moral reproach. My fourth chapter traces how beer satirises Communion wine, among both pagans and Christians, in order to undermine any religion that could reinforce either divinity or the Divine Right of Kings. / A close reading of an all-but-forgotten Arthurian play as an allegory against the Divine Right of Kings.
