It gives a history of the ploy and through an examination of sedaine's dramatic style seeks to establish the individual merit of the play as well as its place in the movement of the 'drame' which it represents. / Master of Arts (MA)

<p>From 1770 until his death in 1778, Voltaire led a most vociferous campaign against the remnants of feudalism in France. The emphasis of his campaign was placed on the institution of serfdom, a system of seigniorial rights which entitled a lord to specific services and fees from his vassals. Voltaire's interest in serfdom was sparked by the fact that there existed some twelve thousand peasants living as serfs due to rights existing since the middle ages, at Saint-Claude, only a few miles from his estate of Ferney near the Swiss border. Voltaire's concern for these serfs was augmented further by the knowledge that the lords of Saint-Claude were in fact a group of twenty Benedictine monks.</p> <p>The aim of this dissertation is to examine Voltaire's campaign, not only for the emancipation of the serfs or Saint-Claude, but for the abolition of feudalism<br />throughout France and for the establishment of a uniform code of law. This subject has never been fully investigated, and consequently, in light of the approach of the bicentennial anniversary of Voltaire's death, a study of the campaign for the serfs of the Jura mountains does seem appropriate.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

After the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1991, Bosnia and Herzegovina erupted into ethnic conflict and ultimately genocide. Nearly 100,000 people, mainly Bosniaks, died in the Bosnian War. Two decades later, the violence has ended but the conflict is still present in Bosnia; the societal segregation of the 1995 Dayton Accords, intended only as an immediate solution to the violence, still stands. Population and language distribution are evidence of this segregation. Bosnia’s two entities are home to two different ethnic majorities: Serbs in the Republika Srpska and Bosniaks in the Federation of BiH. In an environment so sensitive that the government recently feared that merely releasing statistics on ethnic populations might cause violence, the languages that represent these populations are important indicators of social presence and power. In order to evaluate the presence of the Serbian and Bosnian languages, as well as the English language, in Bosnia, signage on the main streets in the country’s capitals were photographed in great detail. It was hypothesized that linguistic majority would match ethnic majority on both main streets, and that English would appear frequently in advertisements. The number of photographs in which each language appeared was tallied up in order to determine how often the languages are typically used. Analyses of these results demonstrated that the English language is the second-most ubiquitous on both streets, after Bosnian, and the comparatively small presence of the Serbian language on both streets indicated that the linguistic environment in Bosnia is not conducive to peace and reconciliation.
