The Residential Patterns of Chicago in 1940: A Study of the Burgess Zonal HypothesisKucsma, Lillian 04 1900 (has links)
<p> The Burgess concentric zone model was assessed using
census data for Chicago community areas in 1940. Burgess'
model implies that the lower-income residents live in the
center of the city while upper-income residents live on the
periphery of the city. Using occupation as a determinant of
socio-economic status, location quotients were calculated to
determine patterns of residential differientiation. It was
found that upper-income residents did indeed reside in the
peripheral areas of the city, but they also lived near the
central business district. The lakefront amenities were the
primary reason for this residential pattern. Many low income
residents lived near the center of the city, but many
were also found to live in the suburbs due to industrial
decentralization. Thus, the lakefront amenities and the
suburban industries are the primary causes of the distortion
of the Burgess model. However, this distortion does not
suggest the Burgess zonal hypothesis is inaccurate. The
discrepancies may be attributable to the uneven growth of
cities through the "filtering" process. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE: THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPLICATIONS OF MUSIC IN BURGESS'S NOVEL AND ITS PRESENTATION IN KUBRICK'S FILM ADAPTATIONVYHLIDALOVÁ, Nikola January 2019 (has links)
This diploma thesis seeks to provide a thorough analysis of the significance and implications of music in the novel A Clockwork Orange and compare it to the role of music in the film adaptation based on this novel. Anthony Burgess, the author of the novel was an English writer and composer, whose work inspired an American film director Stanley Kubrick to make a film adaptation of the novel. The first part of this thesis deals with the life of the author of the novel, focusing mainly on the influence of music on his life. The thesis further explores the relation between music and man, music and literature, and examines the concept of music in general. The crucial part of the thesis analyses the use and function of music in the novel, provides the interpretation of the novel in terms of music and lastly, it compares the concept of music in the novel with the film adaptation.

Moneyers of England, 973-1086Piercy, Jeremy Lee January 2018 (has links)
This thesis examines one labourer group within developing urban society in England during the tenth and eleventh centuries in order to address both its status and whether the internal workplace organisation of this group might reflect on the complexity of an Anglo-Saxon 'state'. In reviewing the minting operation of late Anglo-Saxon England, and the men in charge of those mints, a better picture of the social history of pre-Conquest England is realised. These men, the moneyers responsible for producing the king's coinage, were likely part of the thegnly or burgess class and how they organised themselves might reflect broader trends in how those outside of the artistocracy acted in response to royal directives. In order to address this, a database combining information from multiple catalogues, coin cabinets, and online repositories was developed in Part I and is presented in Part II. The Moneyers of England Database, 973-1086 consists of 3,646 periods of moneyer activity, derived from 28,576 individual coins produced at ninety-nine geographic locations. Parts III and IV provide potential uses for the database through two different types of study. Part III argues that the mints were primarily controlled and operated by families. Pointing to the repetition of the protothemes amongst the moneyers on a large scale across nearly all the mint locations known from the 970s to 1086, I argue that the mints were dominated by a few select families that maintained authority through wars and conquests. Part IV presents two new theories on late Anglo-Saxon mint organisation. The first theory is that groups of moneyers would begin and end activity within the mints together, most often within family units, but regularly in conjunction with other minting families in the same location. The second theory is that these groups would operate in rotation. The moneyers would operate for a set period of time, then withdraw in favour of another member of their dynasty before returning to activity at a later date. I conclude that this was potentially, if not likely, in response to royal imposition on the mints restricting the number of coinages that a moneyer could be responsible for, and take profit on, consecutively. The thesis is structured with a brief introduction and literature review, inclusive of discussion on the status of the moneyers and the concept of an Anglo-Saxon 'state', followed by a methodological section that outlines the creation of the Moneyers of England Database, 973-1086, as well as limitations in the source material. This is followed by the database, two analysis sections, and the conclusion. There are two appendices. The first appendix is an insert diagram of all 425 moneyers in operation in London between 973 and 1086. The second is the coinage record from which this work is derived.

The first study of the micro-fauna of middle Cambrian olistoliths in the Argentine PrecordilleraFahlgren, Elise, Tranvik, Maria January 2015 (has links)
This study implies a survey of a somewhat unexplored Cambrian carbonate formation in the Argentine Precordillera (AP) located in western Argentina, close to the city of San José de Jáchal. The carbonate platform of the AP is a unique piece of the South American geology and is in this study partly surveyed and compared with the Stephen Formation of northern Canada, a middle Cambrian unit renowned for its contents of exceptionally well preserved soft bodied fossils named the Burgess Shale biota. The investigated formation consists of an olistolith among the several Los Túneles Olistoliths at the Western Precordillera. The olistolith originates from the Cambrian Period and lies embedded in younger material with an age and history up for debate by several paleontologists and biostratigraphers. Shallow investigations have shown that these rocks may have similar properties to rocks of the Stephen Formation. There are only a few known rock assemblages on Earth showing Burgess Shale-type (BST) preservation and if the Los Túneles Olistolith proves to possess BST preservation it would be of great substance for the geological researchers of Argentina. The olistolith has in this study been explored by gathering samples in field and dissolving them in acid to investigate possible fossil content. The aim is thus to ascertain whether or not the Los Túneles Olistolith may contain especially well preserved fossils. This is the first study ever made of the microfauna in a middle Cambrian unit in the whole of South America, and hence it will tell if further investigations would be of interest. This survey determines that the Los Túneles Olistolith actually consists of three olistoliths encased in matrix, do not contain BST preservation and that further studies are not probable to show otherwise. The fossil findings, such as Chancelloriidae Chancelloria, Hexactinellida Recticulosa and Mollusca Hyolitha establish that the three Los Túneles Olistoliths originate from middle Cambrian while the matrix surrounding the olistolith is determined to be of Devonian age. / Den här studien är den första undersökningen någonsin som fokuserar på mikrofauna i sedimentära avlagringar från mellersta kambrium i Sydamerika. Studien utreder en tidigare bara ytligt utforskad kalkstensformation i västra Argentina, nära staden San José de Jáchal, i den argentinska precordilleran. Formationen, med namnet Los Sombreros Formationen, innehåller olistoliter från kambrium som undersökts och jämförts med den välkända Stephen Formation från norra Kanada, en formation som är känd för att innehålla exceptionellt välbevarade mjukdelar av fossil, kallat the Burgess Shale Biota. Syftet med studien är att fastställa huruvida Los Túneles Olistoliterna har potential att innehålla välbevarade fossil samt att utreda ifall ytterligare undersökningar är av intresse eller ej. Studien fokuserar på vad som tidigare trotts vara en av olistoliterna bland Los Túneles Olistoliterna, som är en del av Los Sombreros Formationen, men som i denna studie visat sig egentligen vara tre olika olistoliter som avsatts intill varandra. Tidigare ytliga undersökningar har visat att dessa olistoliter skulle kunna innehålla liknande fossil som the Stephen Formation. Det finns bara ett fåtal platser i världen där så pass exceptionellt välbevarade fossil tidigare hittats och om Los Túneles Olistoliterna skulle visa sig vara ett nytt fynd skulle det vara av betydelse för den fortsatta geologiska forskningen i Argentina. Genom insamling av prover som upplösts i syra och sedan undersökts i mikroskop har slutsatsen dragits att Los Túneles Olistoliterna inte innehåller Burgess Shale Biota och att ytterligare undersökningar förmodligen inte kommer visa annorlunda resultat. Fossilfynden som har gjorts, så som Chancelloriidae Chancelloria, Hexactinellida Recticulosa och Mollusca Hyolitha fastställer att de tre Los Túneles Olistoliterna härstammar från mellersta kambrium medan omkringliggande material kommer från Devon. / Este estudio se enfoca en un área poco explorada de una formación que aloja olistolitos carbonaticos del Cámbrico y Ordovícico situado en la Precordillera de Argentina en el oeste del país, cerca de San José de Jáchal, Provincia de San Juan. La plataforma carbonatada de la precordillera es una parte única de la geología de Sudamérica y es en esta investigación parcialmente estudiada y comparada con la Formación Stephen en el norte de Canadá, una unidad del Cámbrico Medio famosa por su contenido de fósiles excepcionalmente bien preservados llamado the Burgess Shale biota. La investigación se ha enfocado en un olistolito entre los varios que aparecen en el sector Los Túneles en el norte de la Precordillera de San Juan, oeste de Argentina. De este olistolito sa ha recuperado macrofauna indicativa del período Cámbrico. Este olistolito está alojado en rocas clásticas cuya una edad que es todavía un tema de debate entre paleontólogos y bioestratigrafos. Investigaciones superficiales han mostrado que estas rocas pueden tener los mismos atributos que las rocas de la Formación Stephen. Solo hay unas pocas formaciones sedimentarias en la Tierra que mantienen preservación del tipo de Burgess Shale (BST) y si el olistolito de estudio de la sección de Los Túneles presenta preservación de BST va a tener gran importancia para la Geología de Argentina. El estudio ha incluido un muestreo de campo de varios olistolitos, posterior tratamiento químico (desagregación física y química de las calizas en ácido para investigar possible contenido de microfósiles), y finalmente”picking” bajo lupa binocular para rescatar micropiezas fósiles. El objetivo de este es comprobar si el olistolito de la sección de Los Túneles puede tener fósiles especialmente bien preservados. Este estudio es el primer estudio de la micro fauna del Cámbrico medio en el conjunto de Sudamérica y de ahí que lo indicará si estudios adicionales serían de interés. Este investigación determina que el olistolito en Los Túneles Olistolitos en realidad consiste en tres olistolitos encerrados en matriz, contiene fósiles sin una preservación BST y por tanto estudios adicionales no son requeridos para demostrar lo contrario. Los hallazgos fósiles, por ejemplo Chancelloriidae Chancelloria, Hexactinellida Recticulosa y Mollusca Hyolitha, establezca que los tres olistolitos de Los Túneles Olistolitos son de Cámbrico Medio y la matriz que rodea a los olistolitos de periódo Devónico.

TAXONOMY, TAPHONOMY AND PALEOECOLOGY OF A NEW BURGESS SHALE-TYPE LAGERSTÄTTE FROM THE MACKENZIE MOUNTAINS, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, CANADA2014 September 1900 (has links)
The middle Cambrian (Drumian) Rockslide Formation is a deeper-water succession of
mixed carbonates and siliciclastics. At the Ravens Throat River location it hosts a Burgess Shale-type (BST) deposit. The BST units are found in two separate 1m thick horizons of green-coloured calcareous mudstone and contain a biota similar to that of the Wheeler and Marjum formations of Utah, and to some extent the Burgess Shale itself. The biota is low in diversity and preserves mainly robust soft-tissue parts. The lithologically heterogeneous composition of the formation (shale, dolomite, lime mudstone, sandstone, mudstone) and absence of metamorphism offer an opportunity to analyze the depositional environment and taphonomy of this deeper water unit. Geochemical analysis including, trace elements, organic carbon, biomarker, and synchrotron were attempted and yielded varying results. Trace element ratios, particularly V/Sc, indicate low oxygenation of the bottom waters during the deposition of the fossil-bearing interval. These results differ from most other BST deposits, which suggest that oxygenated bottom waters were maintained throughout sedimentation. In addition, organic matter in the sediments and δ13Corg values suggest the presence of benthic microbial mats. Silver is concentrated mostly in nm to μm-sized particles in the fossilifereous calcareous mudstone, suggesting elevated levels in the depositional environment. Organic films and the evidence for hyoliths feeding on them suggest an in situ preservation of the biota, perhaps from sudden and short anoxic events and quick burial under either microbial mats or the muddy sediment. This is also supported by the presence of only very rare trace fossils.

Previous issue date: 2014-08-18 / This dissertation seeks to analyze the dystopic novel The Wanting Seed (1962), by the English writer Anthony Burgess with the objective of identifying in which way both structure and the development of the work points to, at an aesthetic level, the global feeling of utopia, which Fredric Jameson (2007) calls utopic desire or utopic impulse, which is present in daily life, in politics, in social movements and revolutions. Through the political reading, this research tries to show that, far beyond a novel about a degenerated future by overpopulation, this book presents, in its formal contradictions, much from the social, political and economic global movement of which it is part. / Esta dissertação procura analisar o romance distópico The Wanting Seed (1962), do inglês Anthony Burgess com o objetivo de identificar de que maneira a estrutura e o desenvolvimento da obra aponta, em nível estético, o sentimento global de utopia, o que Fredric Jameson (2007) chama de desejo utópico ou impulso utópico, que está presente na vida cotidiana, na política, em movimentos sociais e revoluções. Por meio da leitura política, este trabalho procura mostrar que, muito além de um romance sobre um futuro degradado pela superpopulação, essa obra apresenta, em suas contradições formais, muito do movimento social, político e econômico global do qual é parte.
