The Everyday As Involved In War, Tammy M. Proctor
The Everyday As Involved In War, Tammy M. Proctor
History Faculty Publications
This essay examines how the "everyday" functions in war, not only for those on the home fronts, but for those in combat roles and for those living between the lines. Five important qualities, among others, shape the everyday in World War I: Waiting, Staying Connected, Food and Shelter, Managing Fear, and Camaraderie. Each of these themes plays out at the homes of those left behind, in the camps of civilian and military prisoners, in occupied zones, and at the fronts.

An American Enterprise? British Participation In Us Food Relief Programmes (1914-1923), Tammy M. Proctor
An American Enterprise? British Participation In Us Food Relief Programmes (1914-1923), Tammy M. Proctor
History Faculty Publications
This article examines a particularly fraught zone where the British and American conceptions of food aid and moral guidance conflicted – the former enemy nations of Austria and Germany. These countries were considered special cases for food relief, not only because the British and American public had little interest in feeding their former foes, but also because each was seen by aid officials as societies that might succumb to social revolution if food security was not established. While the Americans had established a massive child-feeding operation in Europe under the auspices of the American Relief Administration's European Children's Fund and …

Ghosts Of The Horseshoe, Heidi Rae Cooley, Richard Walker, Duncan Buell
Ghosts Of The Horseshoe, Heidi Rae Cooley, Richard Walker, Duncan Buell
Digital Projects
Ghosts of the Horseshoe (Ghosts) is a mobile interactive application that endeavors to bring into view--literally, on mobile micro screens (iPads and iPhones at present)--the largely unknown history of slavery at South Carolina College. It deploys game mechanics (i.e., ludic methods), as well as Augmented Reality (AR) and GPS functionality to generate awareness of and questioning about what otherwise seems ordinary: a grassy space at the center of a university campus. It organizes content into distinct but overlapping themes: (1) architectural ghosts (e.g., razed outbuildings); (2) human ghosts (e.g., un/named enslaved persons); and (3) the historic Wall delimiting the Horseshoe …
Fear Of "Unnatural Acts": Law And Sexuality In London, 1500-1800, Ashley M. Umphenour
Fear Of "Unnatural Acts": Law And Sexuality In London, 1500-1800, Ashley M. Umphenour
History Theses
Eighteenth-century London experienced a prosecution wave attempting to eradicate sodomy from the city. Discovered and exposed to the public by journalists, the "public outing" of molly houses and their patrons made them a target for the newly formed Societies for the Reformation of Manners. Through the analysis of Society-produced pamphlets, newspaper articles, and trial records, this thesis will show that a rise in Protestantism in England after the Glorious Revolution, along with the changes to masculinity in Europe, led to the prosecution wave against London's sodomites. While the organizations would eventually dissolve, the fear and hatred they helped to promote …
Lustration Legislation In Eastern Europe And Its Meaning For The Western World, Yan Valerievich Vuks
Lustration Legislation In Eastern Europe And Its Meaning For The Western World, Yan Valerievich Vuks
History Theses
Lustration policies spread widely across Eastern Europe in the early 1990's after the fall of the Communism when most of the post-Communist states of Eastern Europe employed a strategy of purging the former Communists from the state apparatus with the help of `lustration' laws. The countries of Eastern Europe developed different approaches to lustration, and the practices adopted by Germany, Czechoslovakia and Estonia demonstrated a great degree of variety. The great influence of the lustration policy on societies of the Eastern European countries makes it necessary to rethink the very concept of lustration. The important issue of self-lustration expands the …

How To Make A Foreign Idea Your Own: Argentine Identity And The Role Soccer Played In Its Formation, Brandon Todd Blakeslee
History Theses
Since Spanish-speaking Latin America achieved independence from Spain the question has been whether to follow the North American or European example. Do the new republics embrace the Old World with its aristocracy or the meritocracy of the United States? To choose one, was to dismiss the other, or so the debate went. However, there are points of contact between the Old-and-New Worlds.Argentine soccer proves a potent example of something that is not wholly one or the other but a combination of both. Though developed exclusively in England, Argentina claims soccer as their national sport. A truly pervasive concept, all parts …

Cord Of Empire, Exotic Intoxicant: Hemp And Culture In The Atlantic World, 1600-1900, Bradley Jahan Borougerdi
History Dissertations
Hemp is a genetically diverse plant that has been used by a variety of different cultures for different purposes over the course of thousands of years. Until the nineteenth century, though, most Europeans understood it to be the source of a durable fiber or a common medicinal seed. People living in exotic places that westerners monolithically referred to as the Orient, however, valued the plant for its intoxicating qualities, and the encounters that took place between these different cultures dramatically transformed the meaning of hemp in the English-speaking Atlantic from an important strategic commodity to a banned intoxicant. The transformation …
The Great War On Film: Examining The Cinematic Variations Of Three Films On The 1916 Battle Of The Somme, Nicole Denae Yarbrough
The Great War On Film: Examining The Cinematic Variations Of Three Films On The 1916 Battle Of The Somme, Nicole Denae Yarbrough
History Theses
Propaganda has been an integral part of human history, and while the documentation of conflict through film began in the middle of the nineteenth century, it was not until the First World War that the production and distribution of war films as propaganda became a mass phenomenon. Moving images of the war proliferated in all Western countries at an unprecedented rate. This thesis explores the role of wartime propaganda films in Britain, France, and Germany during the First World War by assessing the achievements and missteps of cinematic variations on the 1916 Battle of the Somme. Although these films achieved …

A Study In Married Women's Rights And Repatriation In The United States, The United Kingdom, And Latin America: Citizenship, Gender And The Law In Transatlantic Context, Stephanie Anne Mcintyre
History Dissertations
During the first half of the twentieth century, the United States and Great Britain, fearing the dramatic changes occurring in the Atlantic world due to increased migration and threats from war, denied many of their female citizens their natural-born right of citizenship. What was the reason for stripping these women of such a precious possession guaranteed by law? They married non-citizens. Without due process, the women could not be deprived of their citizenship, so laws were put into place proclaiming that when a woman married an alien man, she would automatically assume his citizenship. Because women did not have independent …
