3	The evolution of the gay male public sphere in England and Wales, 1967-c.1983 Smith, Charles January 2015 (has links) This thesis is a reassessment of gay male politics in England and Wales during the period between the decriminalisation of homosexual acts in private in 1967 and the HIV epidemic of the early 1980s. It looks beyond the activities of the revolutionary Gay Liberation Front and its offshoots which have dominated previous accounts. Instead it considers a broader range of social and political organisations which developed for gay men in the seventies: including reformist NGOS such as the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, the gay club scene, and publications such as Gay News. Through a detailed consideration of these less formally radical enterprises it argues that the seventies saw the creation of a broadly Habermasian 'public sphere' of gay male life. The gay male public sphere was a set of social spaces, political campaigns, and communications media which were explicitly aligned to a gay male identity and had no direct precedent in previous queer public cultures. However, this was not precisely analogous to gay men 'Coming Out' as the GLF understood the term. Participation in the gay male public did not necessarily involve openly declaring your sexuality to all possible audiences. It was also not necessarily a radical challenge to the state and existing society and, this thesis argues, gay male politics in the seventies was characterised as much by people who wanted to work within existing systems as it was by those who wanted to overturn them. This thesis also considers the limits that were placed on the gay male public sphere, through an account of the operation of the Sexual Offences Act and Mary Whitehouse's prosecution of Gay News for blasphemous Libel. As such it is a contribution to debates about the nature and extent of Britain's postwar 'Permissive Society'. 306.76
4	Silences et dissidences dans les journaux de l'expédition Lewis et Clark / Silence and Dissidence in the Lewis & Clark Expedition Journals Atem, Florent 22 May 2015 (has links) Intitulé « Silences et dissidences dans les journaux de l’expédition Lewis et Clark », notre travail, centré sur le voyage de découverte de Meriwether Lewis et William Clark, s’appuie sur un corpus de textes récemment publiés. Revenant sur la voix officielle du discours jeffersonien incarnée par les capitaines, mandataires d’une mission à visée autant géopolitique et économique que scientifique, notre recherche proposera une relecture des écrits du « Corps de la Découverte », ainsi qu’une tentative de réhabilitation des voix annexes, celles de sergents et de soldats de la troupe, généralement considérées comme secondaires et pourtant révélatrices de points de vue parallèles, essentiels à une mise en perspective historiographique nouvelle. Ce regard neuf sur un épisode crucial de l’histoire du continent et du peuple nord-américains tentera de démontrer qu’au-delà du témoignage des chefs, seule une prise en compte d’une symphonie narrative, où se mêlent voix « officielles » mais aussi « dissidentes », autorise une restitution pertinente du tissu narratif global. Plus de deux siècles après le périple transcontinental du groupe mené par Lewis et Clark, cette étude se propose donc de mettre en relation de façon systématique l’ensemble des manuscrits de l’expédition, pour une exploitation rénovée de ces sources primaires. La présente analyse des récits des explorateurs s’inscrit dans le contexte de la politique jeffersonienne, dont il sera utile de présenter certains concepts fondamentaux afin d’apprécier au mieux, au travers du prisme des différents témoignages, le caractère exceptionnel d’une épopée profondément « américaine ». / This study, entitled “Silence and Dissidence in the Lewis & Clark Expedition Journals,” focuses on the voyage of discovery under the command of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and draws upon a body of recently published texts. Reassessing the official voice of the Jeffersonian discourse, embodied by the captains in charge of a mission with geopolitical, economic and scientific purposes, our research aims at shedding new light on the writings of the Corps of Discovery, in an attempt to rehabilitate the somewhat neglected voices of the sergeants and soldiers of the group, often deemed secondary but actually indicative of alternate vantage points, allowing for new historiographical perspectives. This new reading of a critical episode in the history of the North American continent, as well as its people, will endeavour to show that, beyond the leaders’ reports, it is only through the symphony of intertwining “official” and “dissenting” voices that true relevance and accuracy may be achieved in the final synthetic narrative. More than two centuries after the transcontinental journey of the party led by Lewis and Clark, this study will aim at systematically interconnecting the whole set of manuscripts devoted to the narration of the voyage, for a better and renovated approach of these precious primary sources. This analysis is linked to the broader framework of the Jeffersonian policy, the main aspects of which shall first be presented, in order to fully grasp the exceptional nature of a profoundly “American” epic, through the prism of the various testimonies.

5	German Freemasonry and Framed Cognitive Immersion: The Transcultural Power of the Masonic Master Ritual Álvarez-Vázquez, Javier Y. 23 May 2023 (has links) This paper identifies theories and cognitive aspects that shed light on the transcultural unifying identity power of Masonic initiation rituals and illustrates this more closely using the case study of the German master ritual. It suggests that the potential of the unifying identity of Masonic rituals does not reside solely in their symbolism, but rather primarily in their enactment as performance. By breaking down the basic elements of the performative character of rituals and comparing the Masonic ritual to that of male initiation among the Chambri people of Papua New Guinea within Whitehouse’s theoretical model of modes of religiosity, this paper also explores the transcultural unifying identity power of rituals while outlining a novel explanatory framework in the field of Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) and Ritual Studies. The present paper suggests that religious and religiously connoted transcultural unifying identity, including its inherent capacity for meaning creation and meaning attribution, is more strongly and stably achieved the more Framed Cognitive Immersion (FCI) is engaged, that is, the more corresponding cognitive processes of the participants are triggered together.:1.
