In order to have successful television advertising spot, it is important to define the specifics typical for the product which are acceptable in the country where the spot will air. The purpose of coffee as a product is to appeal to senses and to whet the appetite, preferably in a good company where peace, joy and pleasant atmosphere dominates. The important part of an advertising spot is also demonstration of drinking and preparing coffee so that the consumer can learn how to prepare coffee properly. This product has clearly delimited target audience. In case of instant coffee, the target audience, are men and women from 25 to 35 years. On the other hand, ground coffee is appreciated by men and women in their forties.

This dissertation is a history of the Townscape movement, a town planning movement that emerged in 1940s Britain and that emphasized mixed-use planning, urban density, and vibrant street life. It follows Townscape’s key figure, the architect Gordon Cullen, through space and time: from the London offices of the Architectural Review to Delhi and Kolkata, where Cullen consulted for the Ford Foundation during the 1960s, and finally back to 1980s Glasgow and the London Docklands, where his ideas were recast in the context of urban regeneration under the Thatcher governments. Accounts of the postwar return to the city often center the American urbanist Jane Jacobs and the rise of urban design in the United States. Yet this narrative obscures a broader global story of the fall and rise of cities in the postwar period—one that brings together histories of welfare, development, and decolonization. Reaching back to the movement’s roots in the eighteenth century colonial picturesque, “Global Townscape” argues for Townscape as a post-imperial cultural project. Drawing on insights from the newly opened Gordon Cullen archives at the University of Westminster, as well as extensive work in Indian archives, it shows not only how Townscape was refined through architects’ engagement with the postcolonial world, but also how it originally emerged from the complex aesthetic and political demands of representing empire. As such, it situates the movement within a longer history of liberal political thought, its contradictions and critiques, while looking ahead to Townscape’s influence on the texture of urban neighborhoods today.

This thesis project examines the intertextuality between Cameron Awkward-Rich’s poetry collection Sympathetic Little Monster (2016) and earlier African American texts: Harriet Jacobs’ Incidents of a Slave Girl (1860) and Toni Morrison’s Sula (1973). Focusing on intertextuality and the trope of the train, this project analyzes Awkward-Rich’s collection which details how black bodies are still subjected to oppression and anti-black/anti-trans violence. His poems explore how black trans subjects are inhibited from reaching “arrival,” wholeness, and freedom in one’s representation and expression of their identity. White supremacy and constructs of race and gender attempt to dictate the speakers’ movements, possibilities, and mobility. Paying close attention to references to the past and the trope of the train, I examine how Awkward-Rich’s poetry interrogates black trans legibility, subjectivity, and subjugation. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

I denna uppsats används fragmentsestetik som metod för att analysera berättartekniken i Jacob’s Room av Virginia Woolf. Receptionskritik av romanen och teoribildningen kring fragmentsestetik inleder. Därefter undersöks hur teorin påverkar läsningen. Vidare förklaras hur olika teman kan hålla samman den ofta uppbrutna intrigen. Därtill tydliggörs hur fragmentsestetiken påverkar gestaltningen av huvudpersonen Jacob. Huvudpersonen sätts också in i ett modernistiskt sammanhang och hans gestalt analyseras i relation till staden. Modernismens begrepp flanör undersöks och huruvida Jacob kategoriseras som sådan. Avslutningsvis diskuteras den moderna stadens gestaltning och funktion. Fragmentsestetiken sätter texten i rörelse då London och dess invånare omväxlingsvis speglas som objekt och subjekt. Således bildas enhetlighet och brottstycken av den intrig som utgör romanen. / <p>Slutgiltigt godkännandedatum: 2023-08-24</p>

This essay examines Harriet Jacobs’s autobiography Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl from the perspective of resistance theory. The essay uses the analytical framework created by Anna Johansson and Stellan Vinthagen in Conceptualizing 'Everyday Resistance': A Transdisciplinary Approach (2020) to concretize and understand different resistance methods and how black women resisted while navigating in society as slaves and as mothers. Resistance theory and methodology is a newer research area in literature studies, and this study attempts to add to that research field to broaden the understanding of Harriet Jacobs’s autobiography from a resistance perspective point of view. Johansson and Vinthagen’s analytical framework uses four different aspects to capture conceptual and situational combinations of everyday resistance and relationships existing between agents and powerholders. This study finds that motherhood and communal resistance motivate and influence Jacobs's will to continue fighting for liberty and explains how Jacobs’s everyday resistance actions create a feeling of meaning and agency in her life.

This thesis explores the presence of the movement theories of Irmgard Bartenieff, Peggy Hackney, and Rudolf Von Laban in the following texts: Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. Written by Himself (1845), The History of Mary Prince: A West Indian Slave (1831), Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself, Linda Brent (1861), Sherley Anne Williams’s Dessa Rose (1986) and Toni Morrison’s Beloved (1987). The terms and phrases of movement theory will be introduced to the contemporary critical discussion already surrounding the texts, both furthering and challenging existing arguments.

This thesis examines the schisms in the antebellum Baptist and Methodist Churches regarding slavery. It was these internal ruptures in both denominations that helped influence life in the slave community. The slave narratives of Henry Bibb, William Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs reveal the impact the schisms had on master-slave relations and slave religious instruction. Moreover, the internal rupture in both denominations over the South‟s peculiar institution was instrumental in spawning a pro-slavery Christianity. This pro-slavery Christianity proved crucial in extending and strengthening white hegemony. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

In this paper, Kait Spong examines alternative practices of mothering that are strategic nature, heavily analyzing Patricia Hill Collins’ concepts of “othermothering” and “preservative love” as applied to Toni Morrison’s 1987 novel, Beloved and Harriet Jacob’s 1861 slave narrative, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Using literary analysis as a vehicle, Spong then applies these West African notions of motherhood to a modern context by evaluating contemporary social movements such as Black Lives Matter where black mothers have played a prominent role in making public statements against systemic issues such as police brutality, heightened surveillance, and the prison industrial complex.

由於都市內資訊流通迅速，有助於創新的觀念產生或交換；因此，大部分的知識或技術擴散發生在都市內，而區位上的接近性，促進創新的觀念的交換。此隱含著技術擴散之外部性效果，能促進產業聚集經濟的發展，及間接帶動都市經濟的成長。產業技術創新之外溢效果，將提高該產業的生產力或促進其他產業的創新，並增加該類產業員工數或產業產出的成長；進而促使該產業所在的都市成長。 然而，對於技術創新外部性的性質，Glaeser et al (1992)提出有兩種主要看法， 一為Romer（1986）之Marshall-Arrow-Romer（MAR）模型，其主張都市內一產業的集中，有助於該產業內廠商間技術擴散，產業地方性的專業化因創新外部性效果的內部化，有益於該產業所在之都市成長，而都市多樣化不利於都市成長。 二為Jacobs（1969）則認為技術擴散大都發生在產業間，鄰近的相關產業促進彼此間的創新和成長，地方競爭將使產業加快技術的研發。亦即競爭和多樣化有助於產業成長，而專業化聚集則妨害產業成長。 針對上述技術創新之外溢效果議題，由以往國內相關文獻歸納得知，大都偏重於橫斷面靜態的研究分析，而本研究係以都市結構的動態歷史分析都市聚集經濟型態之動態MAR專業化外部性或Jacobs都市化外部性對於台灣產業成長之影響。亦即分析台灣長期動態的專業化（地方化）或都市多樣化經濟，是較有利於臺灣地區產業成長之聚集經濟型態。 經由本研究之都市歷史結構實證分析結果，得知某類產業應配置在多樣化的都市，某些產業較適合在專業化的都市。本研究發現人力資本之替代變數基期高等教育人口有助於部分產業之成長，即人力資本符合於強調技術外溢效果的MAR外部性或Jacobs外部性的理論。

This thesis explores the psycho-socio-cultural dynamics that surrounded black womanhood in antebellumGeorgia. The goal is twofold: first, to examine how slave narratives, testimonies, and interviews depicted the plight of enslaved black women through a womanist lens and second, to discover what political and socio-cultural constructions enabled the severe slave institution that was endemic toGeorgia. Womanist theory, psychoanalytic theory, and trauma theory are addressed in this study to focus on antebellum or pre-Civil WarGeorgia.
