title: Grammatical categories of the verbal piece in Nzema.
Creators: name: Chinebuah, Isaac Kodwo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: The thesis is divided into seven chapters and is mainly devoted to an analysis, in formal terms, of the grammatical categories of mood, polarity, tense, person, number, transitivity and aspect that need to be set up for a synchronic description of the verbal piece in Nzema. The introductory first chapter presents a general classification of the verb as a linguistic unit in the grammar, the characteristic phonological features of the verb word and its grammatical features; and, as a convenient reference, a summary of the grammatical categories set up together with the systems of their terms is provided. Chapter 2 presents, as a necessary background, a phonetic and phonological description of the speech sounds of Nzema. The remaining chapters 3-7 contain the main body of the analysis of the grammatical categories. Chapter 3 deals with the three terms of indicative, interrogative and imperative set up within the category of Mood. Chapter 4 considers the category of Polarity in its specific relation to imperative mood clauses and treats together the two categories of Polarity and Tense as they relate to indicative and interrogative mood clauses. In the description of the various tense forms and their distinctive features, two contexts, marked by a nominal phrase or pronominal subject, are selected for the examples. Chapter 5 presents together the closely-related categories of Person and Number. Chapter 6 deals with the sets of grammatical relations between the verb and any items that may follow it in the clause by means of the seven terms; transitive, complex transitive, intransitive, complex semi-transitive, semi-transitive, ditransitive and relational within the category of Transitivity. A sub-classification of the verbs capable of occurring in each transitivity clause-type is also provided. Finally, Chapter 7 treats the tripartite distinction between normal and ingressive, dynamic and stative, and causative and non-causative within the category of Aspect.
title: The role of affixation in the grammar of Igbo.
Creators: name: Igwe, G. Egemba
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1974

description: The first part of the work is introductory to the second part and deals briefly with the following topics; (i) Phonology: (a) the function of tones in Igbo; (b) tone perturbation; (c) tone assimilation; (d) vowel harmony; (e) vowel assimilation; (f) vowel elision; (g) consonants: (ii) Morphology: (a) the morphological processes of duplication, reduplication, and triplication; (b) classes of verbs and the structure of verbs; (iii) Syntax: (a) the major types of Independent Verbal Clauses, both Simplex and Complex, Positive and Negative; (b) discussion of 'auxiliary verbs; (c) discussion of 'participle', 'cognate object', and 'na' prefix, and their rejection. The second part deals with the grammatical and lexical uses of affixes. The grammatical use of affixes is of two types: (i) Inflexional: the representation of the following grammatical categories by affixes: (a) Tense; (b) Aspect; (c) Case; (d) Number; � Modality; (f) Anaphora; (g) Comparison; (h) Emphasis; (ii) Derivational: the use of affixes to derive from verbs (a) Non-finite verbs; (b) Nouns; (c) Adjectives; (d) Adverbs. The final chapter deals with lexical suffixes and provides lists of verbs with such suffixes.
title: Structures and classes in the grammar of Assamese.
Creators: name: Kakati, Banamali
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis describes the grammatical structure of Assamese. Although this syntactic description is based on the system-structure theory developed by M.A.K. Halliday, some ad hoc modifications are suggested to deal with the facts of Assamese. The introductory Chapter One describes the scope of the study and main phonological features of the language. It also describes the transcription used in the thesis. Chapter Two describes the theory on which the thesis is based. Chapter Three describes the features of the largest unit in the grammar, the sentence. Chapter Four is an account of the clause. Chapter Five describes the nominal group, and Chapter Six the verbal group. Chapter Seven is an account of the adverbial group. Chapter Eight contains an analysis of some sample texts, parsed to show the assignment of descriptive categories to formal items in the texts. The texts are accompanied by word-for-word translations. Some theoretical conclusions are drawn from the texts. This thesis ends with a list of abbreviations and a bibliography.

title: Social and political change in a twentieth century African urban community in Kenya.
Creators: name: Tamarkin, Mordecai
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: This thesis attempts to study an African community in a Kenyan colonial town from the first decade of the twentieth century up to independence in 1963. Although the colonial structure largely dictated the status and conditions of Africans living in the town, African responses and initiatives played a vital role in the de-velopment of their community. The town also played an important role in the history of the surrounding area and the colony as a whole. An attempt is made to trace social and political change and to follow the process of African urbanization mainly through a study of African urban-based organizations and institutions. Africans will be seen in their roles as tribesmen, as townsmen and as Kenyan Africans participating in national politics. It will be suggested that the different spheres of African activity in the town were far from being mutually exclusive and that Africans moved freely in all of them regarding them, in part, as alternative bases in a struggle for urban status. A special place will be given to the emerging African urban elite who figured prominently in all aspects of the town's life and who led most African urban-based associations.

title: A political biography of Ras Alula 1875-1897.
Creators: name: Erlikh, Haggai
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1973

description: Ras Alula played a significant role in the political history of northern Ethiopia during the period between the Egyptian invasion of 1875 and the Italian defeat at Adwa in 1896. This son of a peasant managed to avoid the local social scale by becoming the best general of the Tigrean Emperor Yohannes. As such, he helped his master to consolidate Tigrean hegemony in Ethiopia and was appointed as the governor of the problematic frontier province of the future Eritrea. External threats to this province made him a key figure in Ethiopia's relations with its African neighbours and with European powers. Alula's power, based on his imperial rank and provincial function, was at its height during the period of 1884-1887. His activities during those years culminated in military victories (at Kurit against the Mahdists and at Dogali against the Italians) but resulted in the collapse of his dual basis of power: Eritrea and the Tigrean emperor. Back in Tagre after the death of Yohannes in 1889, Alula's only way to avoid returning to the lower rungs of the feudal ladder was to preserve the Tigrean hegemony. Thus, as the counsellor of Yohannes's heir, Ras Mangasha, Alula became throughout the period of 1889-1893 the most persistent fighter for a Tegre independent of the Shoan Emperor Menilek II. His policy, however, based on uniting the Tigrean elite under Mangasha and attracting the Italians in Eritrea to join hands against the em-peror was unsuccessful. The Tigrean nobles never forgot his humble origin and the Italians could not forgive him for Dogali. Thus, in 1894, Alula fully recognised Menilek's hegemony just to return to the position of a 'King's man'. As such he fought in the battle of Adwa and met lis death a year later.

title: Central-provincial relationships in the People's Republic of China: Sichuan and Guizhou, 1955-1965.
Creators: name: Goodman, David Stephen Gordon
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: This thesis considers the relationship between centre and province in the People's Republic of China during the decade before the Cultural Revolution. Previous accounts of that relationship have provided different assessments of the impact of the decentralization measures introduced in 1957/8 on provincial autonomy. Here it is suggested that each of those accounts is to some extent unconvincing. There seems no reason to assume a priori that there is a necessary conflictual or servile relationship between centre and province, or that there is only one such relationship. There may be common characteristics of individual provinces relationship with the centre, but there may also be differences, and it is the determinants of those similarities and differences which need to be identified. This thesis concentrates on a province's relative autonomy and the behaviour of its formal political leadership in the relationship between centre and province. Of particular importance, it employs a provincial perspective on that relationship, rather than the national view provided in previous accounts, Sichuan and Guizhou have been chosen for a comparative case study. To a large extent the framework for discussion has been built around the points of difference between the previous accounts of the relationship between centre and province. An examination of two southwestern provinces during a decade must necessarily be limited in its conclusions. However, it is suggested that Sichuan and Guizhou do in fact represent different relationships with the centre. The former, wealthier and more politically integrated, had more relative autonomy and was less influenced by the immediate environment, than the latter. Moreover, it is suggested that in the southwest at least, 1957/8 was followed by the regionalization of politics.
title: The formulation of Britain's policy towards Egypt, 1922-1925.
Creators: name: Rothman, Eugene
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1979

description: The years immediately following the First World War were extremely important for the formulation of Britain's policy towards Egypt, a British Protectorate since 1914. In this connection, the years 1922 to 1925, the last years of Lord Allenby's tenure as Britain's High Commissioner in Egypt, were critical. Allenby, who was appointed in 1919 in order to suppress nationalist- inspired rioting in Egypt, adopted a surprising policy of moderation. He soon forced the British government to unilaterally declare Egypt's independence in 1922. This apparent success was followed by the adoption of a modern constitution in Egypt and the British withdrawal from the entanglements of Egypt's administration. Still Allenby's career ended in seeming frustration in 1925: negotiations between Britain and Egypt failed in 1924, to be followed by the assassination of the British Governor General of the Sudan, Sir Lee Stack, and Allenby's harsh ultimatum to the Egyptian government in November 1924 effectively reinstituting British control of Egypt's administration. Allenby left Egypt in 1925 because of his sharp response to the disorders and his refusal, as in 1922, to accept the views of the British government in London. This rivalry between British policy-makers in Cairo and in London became the hallmark of British policy throughout this period. The thesis attempts to answer some of the questions raised by the formulation of Britain's policy towards Egypt during the years 1922-1925, when an effort was made to regularise Anglo-Egyptian relations. Towards this end, there is an examination of the factors affecting Britain's policy in three related areas: the environment - the approaches and perceptions of policy; the balance and tensions between the High Commissioner and his Residency staff in Cairo and the British government in London; and, finally, the interaction of these elements with events in Egypt, particularly the struggle between the nationalist forces, led by Zaghlul Pasha, and the Egyptian King, Ahmad Fuad.
title: Working-class Asians in Britain: Economic, social and political changes, 1959-1979.
Creators: name: Betts, Graeme Stuart
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: This thesis is concerned with working-class Asians in Britain and it seeks to examine and explain the econcmic, social and political changes that have taken place amongst them since they began to migrate to Britain in large numbers after 1959. It attenpts to do this through a Marxist analysis for other theories which have attempted to explain Asians' actions are found to be unacceptable. Rex & Tamlinson' s recent study of Handsworth, Colonial Immigrants in a British City, is examined in detail for they believe that it is based on a class analysis. It is demonstrated that this "class theory" is crude and theoretically flawed and that it has no basis in the empirical situation in Britain. Idealist theories which underlie many of the approaches to studies of Asians in Britain are critically examined and rejected because of their failure to deal with external factors and class divisions. Further, analyses based on these theories are shown to remain only at an empirical level. A Marxist approach is set out which overcomes the problems noted with other theories and establishes a framework within which it is possible to examine working-class Asians in Britain. The general position and conditions of Asians in Britain are reviewed and examples are drawn from different communities. Changes which have occurred amongst working-class Asians are described and the dialectical relationship between Asians' culture and conditions in the wider environment is examined. Special attention is paid to changes in Asians' work situation and the development of the 'second generation'. Changes in the form of political action Asians have been involved in are examined in detail as this is an area of considerable importance and also to demonstrate the necessity of understanding and explaining the wider environment and its effects upon Asians. Theoretical approaches to the study of minority groups which did not take the external environment into account in a systematic way located the reasons for changes amongst Asians solely within their communities. This thesis demonstrates that the reason for changes amongst Asians lies in the dialectical relationship between the environment and Asians' culture.
title: Anglo-Druze relations, 1840-61, and their bearing on British policy concerning the Lebanon.
Creators: name: Saleh, Shakib
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1974

description: The present study is an attempt to investigate the Anglo-Druze relations between 1840 and 1861, and their hearing on British policy towards the Lebanon. The study consists of seven chapters, an introduction and an epilogue. The background against which a connection was constructed between the British Government and Druzes in Syria is treated in the introduction. The connection itself, the first civil war in the Lebanon and the end of the Shihab dynasty are investigated in Chapter I. The contribution of the British to restore to the Mountain its national administration is treated in Chapter II. The British part in establishing the Kaymakamate system, and consequently the regulations of Sekib Efendi, are the subject of Chapters III and IV. In Chapter V, the change of British attitude to the Lebanon is investigated. Chapter VI deals with the Civil War in 1860-61, its consequences, and the British help for the Druzes on the occasion. The last Chapter, VII, deals with the arrangement of the Reglement Organique for the Lebanon. In the epilogue an attempt is made to survey the Anglo-Druze relations up to the beginning of the 20th century, pointing out their decline and the lack of interest on the British part in Druze affairs.
title: The relations between 'Abbas Hilmi and Lord Cromer.
Creators: name: El-Mesaddy, Mohamad Gamal-El-Din Ali Hussein
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1966

description: Abbas Hilmi II came to power after about nine years of British Occupation, during which Tawfiq was almost completely submissive to the British policy. At the beginning of that period the nascent nationalist movement seemed almost defunct. Towards the end, however, it began to show faint signs of life. The importance of 'Abbas's reign between 1892 and 1907 is that, contrary to his father, he followed mainly a policy of resistance towards the Occupation and Cromer, and sided with the nationalist movement, thus bringing to the battlefield a new force. This force was dependent on the Khedive at first, but it ultimately acquired strength and began to stand on its own feet. The Khedive and the Rationalists were, however, aware of the necessity of co-operation. The battlefield was not an isolated one, and the struggle was not confined to the three combating forces, Turkey, and some European powers, had their interests in Egypt. This, together' with the weakness of the Egyptian side, introduced an external factor which affected the situation. The external support was not of very much help to 'Abbas and the Nationalists, and the period shows steady increase of British domination, and constant diminution of the Khedive's authority. This trend was accelerated by the Sudan reconquest. The period witnessed also a change in the aims of 'Abbas. At first he resisted the Occupation in general, while at the end he was mainly struggling against Cromer's domination. The purpose of this thesis is a study, through the relations between 'Abbas and Cromer, of the Anglo-Egyptian relations during that period. Care is given to the different elements which affected these relations, especially the nationalist movement, The effect on the nationalist movement is also explained.

title: The political economy of rural poverty in Bangladesh.
Creators: name: Siddiqi, Kamal Uddin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1980

description: Poverty studies in the Third World, in general, and in Bangladesh, in particular, have been mostly concerned with the measurement of poverty, and far less with its explanation. In this study, the explicit concern has been to delineate the processes which cause, aggravate and maintain poverty in rural. Bangladesh. The analysis that follows has been conducted at three levels. It seeks, firstly, to delineate the forces within the agrarian structure responsible for rural poverty. Secondly, it examines the urban forces contributing to rural poverty. Finally, it tries to establish the international dimensions of rural poverty. For the first set of forces, primary data were generated through a single village intensive study (lasting for more than a year), while for the latter two levels, secondary data have been used. The analytical framework of the study has been based on the Marxist concepts of "mode of production" and "socio-economic formation". The major findings of the study are as follows: Firstly, natural disasters and lack of resources as causes of poverty are untenable. Secondly, there is no simple, one-way relationship between poverty and population growth. Thirdly, and most important, there is a strong convergence of interests among the rural rich, the urban rich and metropolitan forces; and it is this chain of forces, which, despite the expressed objectives of the Bangladesh state and its international aid donors, not only accounts for extremely inequitable distribution of the available social product but also militates against productive utilisation of the surplus generated. Finally, the existing superstructure, both local and central, also stands in the way of any change taking place in the existing economic relations in the rural society. The implications of the study axe quite clear, namely that without fundamental changes in the existing power and property relations and surplus extraction and utilisation characteristics, it is well-nigh impossible to eradicate poverty of the scale and dimensions that engulfs contemporary rural Bangladesh. However, it was found that the ingredients required to bring about such a change were lacking, and in particular, the consciousness and activities of the rural poor were as yet far removed from the idea and practice of such a change.

title: The style and dating of Yue ware in the ninth and tenth centuries on the basis of recent Chinese archaeology.
Creators: name: Lai, Suk Yee
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1981

description: The first chapter introduces the background to Yue ware, the green ware produced over the period from the eighth to the eleventh century in Zhejiang province, and describes both the historical situation within the period and the ceramic tradition of the region. The second chapter discusses the literature relating to Yue ware. On account of the existence of written records, Yue ware survived descriptively and was finally identified. These literary works still remain a valuable record of traditional Chinese connoisseurship on Yue ware, and demand serious study notwithstanding the availability of the artefacts. The third chapter, based on the archaeological reports, is an account of the three main sites; Yuyao, Shangyu and Yinxian. The reports provide us with not only the location and contents of the sites but also the general characteristics of Yue ware. The fourth chapter works out the typology of shape and decoration. Apart from the archaeological material, samples from museum collections are also included as illustration. The most important element is the comparison of shape and decoration with other Tang crafts, most of -all the silverwork, lacquer, bronze and textiles. The fifth chapter deals with the problem of dating. The dated and datable pieces make possible the division of stylistic development into three stages, the most important being that around the middle of the tenth century. Final conclusions are drawn in the last chapter on the basis, firstly, of material concerned with the connoisseurship and provenance; and secondly, of the Yue ware style, taking shape and decoration into consideration as well as comparison with the Tang crafts. Using all this evidence a new dating related to the stylistic development is proposed in three main stages: (1) from middle Tang to early Wuyue kingdom; (2) from early to middle Wuyue kingdom; (3) from middle Wuyue kingdom to Northern Song.
title: A study and edition of al-Tanbih wa 'liclam fi mustafadi 'l-qudati wa 'lhukkam by Abu Abd Allah Muhammad b. Abd Allah al-Yafrani al-Miknasi (d.917/1511).
Creators: name: Twebti, Mehemed Mohamed
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2002

description: This is a study and an edition of al-Tanbih wa'l-iclam fi mustafadi 'l-qudati wa l-hukkam by Abu Abd Allah Muhammad b. Abd Allah al-Yafrani known as al-qadi al-Miknai (d. 917/1511), a Moroccan scholar living in Fes during the last stages of the Merinid dynasty. The work is composed of two main parts: The first represents an editorial introduction in which a detailed study has been made in order to bring to light both the author and his book, focusing on the author's identity including his lineage as well as his scholarly life and career. In addition, we have set up a general picture of the political and intellectual environment in Morocco during the author's life time. With regard to the primary text, our study has sought to provide a description of the manuscript copies, a brief overview of the subject matter, and a consideration of the structure of the text and its sources from Maliki fiqh. We have also aimed to consider the author's treatment of his chosen topics. Observations of the edited work and some features of its importance as a contribution to the Maliki fiqh field are also offered. The general footnotes to the Arabic text, made in English along with the glossary of legal terms and phrases, and a bibliography are provided in this section. The second section is comprised of the primary text al-Tanbih wa 'l-icam which has been transcribed into typed form to make it more accessible to the reader, but remains in keeping with the original structure of the text. It is numbered in Arabic numerals and includes editorial footnotes which mark the differences between the manuscript copies. Chapters and sub chapters are clearly outlined, while indices of Qur'anic verses, prophetic traditions, persons and geographical names are located at the end of this section.
title: The acquisition of literacy in Chinese with special reference to the case of adults of Chinese origin in Italy.
Creators: name: Zocchi, Sabina
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2002

description: The number of Chinese people who live in Europe has been rising constantly during the past 30 years. The large majority of them come from Southern China, and their adjustment to life in the European countries has engendered research questions on their settlement, on their relationship with the local people, habits, and rules, as well as on the education of their children. My thesis focuses on the issue of the teaching of Chinese written language to adult learners of Chinese origin settled in Italy. It points to the devising of a viable teaching method through the analysis of the answers to three relevant questions: 1. Who are the learners to whom the Chinese written language teaching methodology is addressed. 2. Why would they need and benefit from such a teaching methodology. 3. How is the teaching of Chinese written language to be made viable and effective to adult learners of Chinese origin who live in Italy. The first two questions are dealt with in the first part of the research. In Chapter 1, I outline the history of Chinese migration movements towards Europe, and describe the circumstances and features of Chinese settlement in the UK and in Italy. Chapter 2 explores language use within the communities. It takes into account language as a marker of identity and language proficiency as an asset, by referring to the position of Mandarin within the community as well as at a transnational level. Chapter 3 focuses on literacy, on its definition, and on the way different definitions may apply to languages with different writing systems, with a focus on Chinese written language and the features which mostly affect literacy acquisition in Chinese. The second part centers on the third question and is articulated into two chapters. In Chapter 4, I analyse the methods in use in four different teaching contexts: Chinese primary schools, Western universities, week-end classes for Chinese children in the UK and in Italy, and adult education in China. I substantiate my analysis with the results of the fieldwork I carried out in China, Great Britain and Italy. The four contexts are taken as a reference for selecting among the teaching devices and discussing their effectiveness as related to the features of each context. In Chapter 5, I describe the case of adult learners of Chinese origin in Italy. I choose among the selected devices those which better apply to the study case, and discuss the principles according to which these devices suit the study case features. The final part of Chapter 5 consists of a sample of a teaching approach that is likely to work for the study case. I select content and illustrate how to teach it according to the principles derived from my previous analysis.

title: Aspects of theme and technique in the Setswana novel, 1940-1980.
Creators: name: Dikole, Rrenyane Sesupo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: This study describes the historical development of the Setswana novel, between 1940 and 1980. The thesis discusses the salient features of this tradition such as shared themes, stylistic features, structural and technical patterns and features. The period selected for the study covers the establishment of a written tradition. The study makes occasional reference for comparative purposes to the later period, which falls outside the current framework. The study is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One introduces the study, highlights the geo-political distribution of the native speakers of this language and some aspects of their culture, outlines the aims of the study, proposes questions that guide the interpretation of the findings of the study and reviews other works on the Setswana novel. Chapter Two creates the building blocks of the text by describing historical events and situations that led to creative writing in Setswana. The areas discussed are the Christian missionary contribution to literacy in Setswana, orthography and representation of the Setswana sound system and the early stages of literary production in the southern African region. Chapter Three describes the features and eras of creative writing in Setswana. It discusses the development of Setswana novels from their oral antecedents, the conditions against which the early Setswana texts were written, the stages of development and the historical periods that characterise the unfolding history of Setswana literary activity. Lastly this chapter outlines the major themes found in the Setswana novels. Chapter Four discusses the journey/migration theme, one of the major themes that pervade the Setswana novel. This chapter considers the different forms of migration as reflected in the works, their significance and other related minor themes. Chapter Five discusses the love-marriage theme, another major theme that cuts across many texts. It is considered as a social activity as well as a complex and contentious subject, which has received a lot of attention from society at large. Chapter Six discusses the role of youths as the central characters in the Setswana novel. Central to this study are the views of the different writers on the aspirations and values of the young, especially against the background of the themes of migration and the city. Chapter Seven describes the narrative techniques and features of style discernible in the Setswana novels. This chapter is divided into two sections. The first section is concerned with narrative techniques in the conventionally written texts while the second deals with narrative techniques in the more complex works. Each section considers narrative techniques within the confines of the following: text structuring, techniques of description and characterisation. Chapter Eight concludes the study with a summary of principal findings followed by a general discussion. The appendices provide the summaries of some central texts and notes on some key authors.

description: Thermally enriched air and stormwater runoff from urban areas have been identified as contributing heat sources to downstream surface waters. To date, the study of air quality, cooling, stormwater, and health benefits of urban forests have been widely covered, but surprisingly little research has focused on quantifying the relationship between urban air and stormwater runoff temperatures and furthermore, how these heat sources may affect downstream ecosystems. We measured temperature, water, and weather variables (air, pavement, and runoff temperatures, precipitation, solar radiation), and tree metrics (type, height, canopy cover fraction) at 12 study sites in Portland, Oregon during the warm summer season of 2016 and 2017. A two-factor factorial approach was used to select study sites that were of two tree types (broadleaf deciduous or coniferous evergreen) and varying levels of pavement-overhanging street tree canopy cover (high or low canopy fraction). Pavement temperatures in the absence of rain were measured ≤ 66◦C in the sun. Heat transfer from paved surfaces to runoff during low intensity summer storm events resulted in stormwater runoff temperatures that averaged 17.3◦C over 200 storm events analyzed. Coniferous evergreen dominated sites with high canopy cover fractions resulted in the coolest summer stormwater runoff temperatures on average (<16◦C at> 50% cover) and coniferous evergreen dominated sites with low canopy cover fractions the warmest (>19.5 ◦C for <2% cover). In contrast, runoff temperatures measured at broadleaf deciduous sites were surprisingly insensitive to the wide range in canopy cover fractions (1.6 % to 50.9 %) where canopy cover outside of the monitored catchment area may have had a confounding effect, potentially muting or masking effects of deciduous canopy cover fraction that might occur in other urban settings or sites. Average air temperature, accumulated precipitation, and the interaction between tree type and high or low canopy fraction during a storm explained 77% of the variance observed in runoff temperatures across all storm events. These results suggest that summer runoff temperature may be an under-appreciated benefit of street trees, when considering urban impacts on downstream surface waters, that is influenceable through management of tree type and cover.
title: Music and possession in Vietnam.
Creators: name: Norton, Barley
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The thesis is a study of musical and ritual practice in Vietnam. At its heart is an investigation into the relations between music and possession during mediumship rituals, len dong. Inquiry into the interaction between music and ritual context is crucial for understanding possession and the music performed at mediumship rituals, châu vân. When possessed by spirits, Vietnamese mediums experience 'aware possession' rather than a form of 'trance'. Châu vân songs invite the spirits to 'descend' to the human world and ensure the maintenance of aware possession. Musicians create song sequences, 'songscapes', for each possession, which musically construct the presence of the spirits. In addition to music's role in ritual, the thesis explores the creative process involved in the realisation of the vocal melodies of châu van songs, and the gradual processes of musical change that have affected the châu vân repertoire and performance practice. The traversing of gender during len dong rituals, by both female and male mediums, has important ramifications for the gender identities of mediums. Ritual practice enables mediums to behave in ways outside prescribed gendered roles and affords them scope for challenging and destabilising established gender categories. Len dong has been a site of contestation during the second half of this century. Despite being prime targets of an anti-superstition campaign, len dong and châu van have undergone a strong revival in the last decade. Concurrent with this revival, folk-culture researchers and ritual participants have attempted to rid len dong of its association with 'superstition' by developing a legitimating discourse which reframes mediumship in nationalist terms. Chiu van has also been implicated in debates concerning the ideological reform of traditional musics and national identity.
title: Glimpses of China through the export watercolours of the 18th-19th centuries: A selection from the British Museum's collection.

description: This research investigates the roots of Chinese export watercolours - produced at Canton for Western customers, in the 18th-19th centuries - in the local tradition of painting and illustration, attributing a 'Chinese identity' to these authentic works of art, often considered as a semi-foreign piecework derivative and inferior to literati and court painting. Furthermore, their historical and anthropological importance is also vigorously stressed: these particular paintings are presented as documents that provide an insight into Chinese traditions, customs and daily life, and reflect the evolution of the diplomatic, commercial and cultural relationships between China and the West. The discussion gradually develops through the analysis of the albums in the British Museum's collection, which, despite being one of the most comprehensive of this sort, had not been specifically examined by any scholar before. The watercolour sets, described from various angles, and compared with other figurative materials, are used as concrete examples, giving substance and immediate reference to ideas and concepts. The dissertation opens with some considerations about the mutual artistic exchange and influence between China and the West in the 18th-19th centuries. First, the impact of Chinese image and art in Europe is presented. Then, the main characteristics of Chinese export art and the development of Chinese export painting are illustrated. These observations are followed by the examination of the watercolours at the British Museum, considering state of preservation, availability for research, and scarcity and inadequacy of the museum's records. A summary of all the themes depicted in the nearly one hundred sets is also given. A selection of nearly half of them - including the illustration of production activities, trades and crafts, religious subjects, festivals and ceremonies - is analysed in depth, thus providing an exhaustive and precise picture of the treatment of the most relevant subjects, each representing a significant aspect of the Chinese world at that time.
title: Sarva Tathagata Tattva Samgraha, compendium of all the Tathagatas: A study of its origin, structure and teachings.
Creators: name: Kwon, Do-Kyun
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2002

description: This thesis constitutes a study of the Sarva-tathagata-tattva-samgraha, the principal Buddhist tantra of the Yoga Tantra class. The thesis is based on the original sources in Sanskrit, Tibetan, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The text of this tantra is preserved in the original Sanskrit, and in Tibetan and Chinese translations. As for the commentaries, the thesis makes use of two commentaries written by the Indian masters Anandagarbha and Sakyamitra, which are preserved only in their Tibetan versions. In addition, the thesis incorporates the information culled from the relevant works in Chinese by Amoghavajra and Donjaku, and several Japanese and Korean works as indicated in the bibliography. The Sarva-tathagata-tattva-samgraha is divided into five parts and twenty six chapters. In conformity with this tantra's structure, the thesis is also divided in the same way. The thesis starts with a general introduction, and then proceeds step by step to provide a textual study of the doctrinal, ritual, and other dimensions of the entire tantra. In conformity with its structure, first there are provided expositions of each part as a whole, and then there follow detailed studies of individual chapters contained in each part. In the case of individual chapters, first there is explained their overall structure, then, whenever appropriate, there are given translated excerpts from the tantra, followed by an integrated interpretation of their doctrinal and other aspects in the light of the commentaries. Since all chapters of this thesis have similar structures, the overall presentation is somewhat repetitive. However, this style reflects the structure of the tantra and its logical progression, and also the style of its commentaries. In terms of its teachings, the Sarvatathagata-tattva-samgraha provides the foundational exposition of the doctrines and practices of the Yoga Tantra. This tantra class focuses predominately on meditation, visualisation of deities, and on ritual activities performed in connection with mandalas. This tantra contains a seminal treatment of the Yoga Tantra theories, but all such theories are not divulged in an open and plain language, but are encoded in esoteric terminology, and cast in visionary, meditational, and ritualised ways. The overall discourse is built around a logically devised group of mandalas in connection with which the tantra explains the meditational and ritual process leading to Buddhahood. According to this tantra, Sakyamimi Buddha attained Buddhahood in the Akanistha abode, proclaimed the Yoga Tantra on the summit of Mount Sumeru, and then returned to earth and reenacted the state of enlightenment under the bodhi tree in Bodhgay?. His enlightenment in the Akanistha and his proclamation of the Yoga Tantra on Sumeru are recast in this tantra and revealed as a body of the Yoga Tantra teachings.
