The AU/UN hybrid peace operation in Africa : a new approach to maintain international peace and security / Barend Louwrens PrinslooPrinsloo, Barend Louwrens January 2012 (has links)
The perpetual conflict in Darfur, Sudan, which started anew in 2003, had dire
humanitarian consequences and threatened international peace and security. The UN
Security Council, which has the primary responsibility for maintaining international
peace and security, adopted Resolution 1769 on 31 July 2007 and authorised a 26 000
person-strong joint African Union/United Nations hybrid operation in Darfur
(UNAMID) to take over from AMIS (the African Union peace operation in Darfur).
UNAMID was established with dual command and control linked to both the African
Union and the United Nations and both organisations would have an equal say in its
mandate and operations. Given this unique and unprecedented arrangement between
a regional organisation and the United Nations in terms of maintaining international
peace and security, the aim of this research was to:
• Understand and describe the political motivations/reasons why the United
Nations formed a hybrid peace operation with the African Union;
• Establish in which way the aforementioned impacted on future efforts of the
United Nations to maintain international peace and security, especially on the
African continent; and, based on this,
• To determine whether or not hybrid operations were a viable alternative for
the United Nations to maintain international peace and security.
By means of a thorough analysis of the theoretical underpinnings of international
peace and security, an assessment of the peace and security architecture of the United
Nations and the African Union, an investigation into the origins of the Darfur conflict,
an examination of the structure and mandate of UNAMID, and through an empirical
investigation, a new theoretical proposition is provided in the conclusion of the thesis.
It is concluded that the UNAMID model, in practical terms, is not an optimal
mechanism for the United Nations to use to maintain international peace and security
because it suffers from numerous internal political inequities and operational
inadequacies. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Political Studies))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

"Mot allt, som plågar mej, jag reagerar" : Känslorna och det proletära subjektet i Karl Östmans litterära verk / ”Against all that torments me, I react” : Feeling and the proletarian subject in the literary works of Karl ÖstmanLillhannus, Daniela January 2020 (has links)
This thesis explores the representation of emotion and feeling in the 1910’s and 1920’s fictional works of Swedish working class writer Karl Östman, against the historical background of the working class movement and its social communities. The material consists mainly of three collections of short stories (Pilgrims, A Fiddle and a Woman and Hunger) and one novel (The Broad Road). The author analyses how emotions arise and are represented, the relationship between emotion and action, the individual and collective practices of feeling, as well as the emotional reactions following suffering. Dreams of love and compassion are also addressed to investigate whether the texts point to the possibility of a new emotional community for the working class. The theoretical basis of the thesis is Barbara H. Rosenwein’s concept of ”emotional communities”, along with Sara Ahmed’s theories of emotions as patterns of action. The thesis argues that all actions in Östman’s fiction are, fundamentally, emotional reactions. To gain an understanding of capitalism and class society as the causes of oppression, Östman’s characters must first understand their own emotions from the perspective of a socialist emotional community, rather than the prevailing emotional community of working class men. Only then can their emotional response to suffering become anger and action rather than hopelessness. Östman identifies the great shame of the worker not as his vulnerable position under capitalism but as the culture of non-feeling that workers impose on one another – a change of perspective that becomes a call for action. If read attentive to the role of emotions in the text, the thesis argues, Östman’s fiction possesses an urgency and a complexity previously not accredited to him.

Att göra kaos i ett cisnormativt kosmos : en laborerande studie av den transteoretiska och-aktivistiska samvaron med SatanJangmyr, Michelle January 2015 (has links)
The purpose of this paper is to present an opening to argue for a transtheoretical and - activist fellowship with Satan and the values connected to hir. A transactivist fellows-hip with Satan builds on two primary points of contact. It is on one hand the opportu-nity to take advantage of the non-conformist, non-normative and polemical signifi-cance Satan has been attributed, especially in the history of literature, but also in the history of religion. And on the other hand this study also dwells upon how Satan as a figure has served as an expression of evilness, hatred, darkness and suffering amongst people. The questions i ask, is if there is a course that allows me to theorize for a stra-tegic collaboration between the transactivist struggle and the ideas that is connected to the satanfigure in John Miltons Paradise Lost. I also ask if there is a transtheoretical-and activist approach where Satan can function as an ally within the transactivist re-sistance. The purpose of this paper also carries on a confrontation with the notion of ”tone-policing", and love and tenderness as the only sanctioned (and praised) incenti-ves for political struggle. In this thesis I make a link between the logic that connects to Satan as an ideological basis and a non-conformist (militant), seperatist, anti-capi-talist and queer attitude in transactivist struggle. With the help of Susan Stryker's the-ory of the monsteridentity I will experiment with extracts from John Milton's Paradise Lost, where the Satan figure and the transactivist position builds on a fellowship as my analysis proceeds. To do this i use a queer-deleuzian tool as a method that focuses on textual framings within the idea of spatial relations, meaning how the actual text can and should correspond with discourses outside its territorial space. This allow me to di-sengage Satan from its original amplitude, and instead of interpreting how Satan handles hirself in Paradise Lost, i will liberate Satan from this narrative and create a relation between hir and my thesis. In this way I create an occasion, through a theore-tical approach to trans-subjectivity as comparable to the perception of the monster as a non-normative figure, to bring the transgendered monster together with the satanic monster. The ”what” that will subsequently crystallize during the analysis have the intention to tell the story about the ways in which the non-confirmative transactivist have in common with Satan. After doing this i will conclude my thesis with a discus-sion that reflects on how this fellowship has evolved in relation to the proposed politi-cal and emotional connections between the non-confomative transactivist and Satan.
