The Infected Republic: Damaged Masculinity In French Political Journalism, 1934-1938, Emily C. Ringler
The Infected Republic: Damaged Masculinity In French Political Journalism, 1934-1938, Emily C. Ringler
Honors Papers
This thesis examines the ways in which four intellectual, weekly French journals of the 1930s mobilized the mobilized the well-worn political symbol of damaged masculinity in order to articulate their unique fears and anxieties. From the inception of the Third Republic, constructed symbols of ideal and deviant masculinity played a critical role in political and popular discourse. My central argument focuses on how they manifest themselves in the debates of polarized political journalism of the 1930s. Leftist and far right wing publications both emphasized the damaged masculinity of their enemies. However, the left primarily used crowd psychology to describe the …
Assimilation And Discrimination: The Contradictions Of Japanese Colonial Education In Taiwan, 1895-1945, Luna Stevenson
Assimilation And Discrimination: The Contradictions Of Japanese Colonial Education In Taiwan, 1895-1945, Luna Stevenson
Honors Papers
Japan colonized the island of Taiwan from 1895-1945. During this period, the colonial administration set up the first modernized education system on the island, which emphasized learning the Japanese language at the expense of the students' native Chinese language. The government espoused ideals of equality between the Taiwanese and the Japanese that extended to equal opportunity in schooling and in the work place. However, in reality the Japanese colonial government discriminated against the Taiwanese, and this manifested itself within all levels of the education system. The Japanese harbored racist attitudes against the Taiwanese, and were reluctant to provide opportunities for …
Transient Bodies And The Whiteness Of Memory: The “Nature” Of Permanence In Big Sur, Ca, 1862 - 1937, Rusty Bartels
Transient Bodies And The Whiteness Of Memory: The “Nature” Of Permanence In Big Sur, Ca, 1862 - 1937, Rusty Bartels
Honors Papers
This thesis explores the development of Big Sur, California from the Homestead Act in 1862 until the opening of the Carmel-San Simeon Highway in 1937. I trace Big Sur's economy from one based on the extraction of natural resources to one based on tourism. Throughout this era, the existence of a racialized division of labor has remained a part of Big Sur's economies. The presence and histories of labor and race along the Big Sur coast has often been hidden beneath the more prominent histories of the original homesteading families and of the region's landscape and environment. This work seeks …
Putting On Her Man Pants: Social Reaction To Female Cross-Dressing And Gender Transgression In America 1850-1880, Kathryn L. Eichenlaub
Putting On Her Man Pants: Social Reaction To Female Cross-Dressing And Gender Transgression In America 1850-1880, Kathryn L. Eichenlaub
Honors Papers
Between 1850 and 1880, Americans obsessed over cross-dressing women. Many women donned the breeches: ruined young daughters of respectable families, honest but poor girls looking for a living, and unseemly women who wished either to explore public places or prostitute themselves. This huge variation in station and intention of cross-dressing women allows an exploration of Victorian identity markers -- not just gender, but also race, class, and respectability. Many of these young ladies were described as Romantic adventurers -- they had heroic and beautiful, but often ultimately tragic, experiences. By studying the social reaction to these individuals, we discover that …
Changed Memorial, Changed Meanings: The History Of Oberlin's Soldiers Monument, Daniel Holm
Changed Memorial, Changed Meanings: The History Of Oberlin's Soldiers Monument, Daniel Holm
Honors Papers
Oberlin's Soldiers Monument stands in Wright Park, at the corner of Main and Vine Streets. While the Monument, established in 1942, commemorates a hundred and twenty-seven Oberlin men who have died in all the wars since Oberlin's founding, its main feature is four plaques that bear the name of ninety-six men who died in the Civil War. The Monument inherited these plaques from an 1870 Civil War Memorial that stood at the corner of College and Professor Streets, where the Conservatory stands today. It was created not only to remember the fallen Oberlin men, but to commemorate the Oberlin community's …
Evaluating The Effects Of Colonialism On Deforestation In Madagascar: A Social And Environmental History, Claudia Moon Randrup
Evaluating The Effects Of Colonialism On Deforestation In Madagascar: A Social And Environmental History, Claudia Moon Randrup
Honors Papers
This project examines the historical roots of deforestation during Madagascar's colonial period in order to shed light on contemporary conservation efforts. Through activities ranging from logging concessions and the encouragement of cash crop production, the French colonial government directly caused massive forest loss. Restrictive protectionist conservation legislation failed to adequately protect forest reserves, instead prompting many Malagasy to use the forests as tools of resistance to colonial governance. Furthermore, Madagascar's convergent colonial and environmental history created a problematic association between colonialism and conservation that has persisted post-independence. I will address the formation of this association and its consequences for both …
