title: Generating energies: Cultural politics and geothermal project in Mt Apo Philippines.
Creators: name: Alejo, Albert E.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1999

description: THIS REFLEXIVE ETHNOGRAPHY investigates both the practice of cultural regeneration movement and fieldwork engagement in the context of contested development. The setting is Mt. Apo National Park where the Philippine National Oil Company has built a 250-megawatt geothermal power plant. The project aims to reduce government's dependence on imported oil and fuel its industrialisation program. Mt. Apo, however, is an ecologically and politically sensitive site, being a sanctuary of Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity, home to indigenous peoples, and shelter for armed insurgents. The local NGO and Church opposition grew into a massive national and international protest. Despite the hesitant hospitality of the affected community, PNOC managed to transform its image into a corporate environmentalist and pursue its project. This thesis explores the interaction among the various contextual actors, including social scientists and the sick, the pastors, priests and protesters. It also analyses the politicisation of rituals and the construction of advocacy in Europe. My main focus, however, is the kin-based movement called Tuddok. Tuddok aimed at cultural regeneration and territorial recognition. It emerged, apparently, from the failure of both development project and political protest to take seriously the predicament of the host community. Cultural politics research rightly treats this type of movement not simply as resistance, but as struggle for meaning and existence. Even recent literature, however, still equates movement with protest. I highlight, instead, what may be called cultural energies-the human capabilities by which people collectively re-animate themselves in face of, but not exhaustively in reaction to, political binary oppositions. My fieldwork (September 1995-January 1997) consisted mostly in accompanying Tuddok from its revival of Manobo dance, to its retrieval of Mt. Apo history and territory. As Tuddok became central to my research, my research in turn served as resource for the movement. This partnership grew tense as the ethnographer's status as Catholic priest allegedly threatened the peace of the Protestant village. The last section of the thesis reflects on the practice of fieldwork as social intervention before it is transformed into a textual invention.
title: The making of diplomatic relations

description: Wie lässt sich der Verlauf diplomatischer Beziehungen beschreiben? Oft führen die Aktionen eines Staates zu Reaktionen anderer, die als diplomatische Antworten erscheinen. Doch was passiert, wenn eine Aktion unbeabsichtigt den Eindruck erweckt, sich gegen einen Freund zu richten? Kann dies ebenfalls zu einer angemessenen Reaktion führen? Die Türken wurden unwissentlich und trotz Warnungen zu Instrumenten eines innenpolitischen Prozesses, der die Dollfuß-Regierung legitimieren sollte, während der Türkenbefreiungsfeiern von 1933. Die zweite Wiener Türkenbelagerung wurde durch Narrative wieder ins Leben gerufen und im ganzen Land verbreitet, um ein kollektives Gedächtnis effektiv zu formen und zu manipulieren. Diese Entwicklung wurde schnell von türkischen Zeitungen als Verrat eines guten Freundes interpretiert. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Reaktion durch eine sofortige Einstellung kultureller und künstlerischer Veranstaltungen, während politische und wirtschaftliche Beziehungen weitgehend unberührt blieben, erfolgte. In dieser Arbeit wurden empirische Beweise aus diplomatischen Archiven der Republik Österreich und der Türkei gesammelt und untersucht, um die Rolle der „Politics of Memory“ in diplomatischen Beziehungen zu beleuchten.
description: How can the making of diplomatic relations be described? Often, the actions of one state lead to reactions from others that appear to be diplomatic responses. However, what happens when a state action unintentionally gives the impression of targeting a friendly state? Could this also lead to an appropriate response? The Turks were unintentionally and, despite warnings, made instruments of an internal political process aimed at legitimizing the Dollfuß government during the Türkenbefreiungsfeiern of 1933. The Second Ottoman Siege of Vienna was revived through narratives and spread throughout the country to shape and manipulate the collective memory of the Austrian population. Turkish newspapers quickly interpreted this development as a betrayal by a good friend. The response came in the immediate cessation of cultural and artistic events, while political and economic relations remained largely unaffected. This study collected empirical evidence from diplomatic archives of the Republic of Austria and Turkey to examine the role of 'Politics of Memory' in diplomatic relations.

description: FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF PENTHALEUS MAJOR (DUGÈS) MOUTHPARTS (EUPODOIDEA: PENTHALEIDAE)

The functional morphology of Penthaleus major (Dugés) mouthparts has been studied by means of light microscope, scanning and trasmission electron microscopes.
 The movable digit with its basal sclerite, cheliceral, pharyngeal and infracapitular muscles are described and illustrated.

The chelicerae present protractors and retractors muscles of the stylets and depressors muscles of the II cheliceral article.
 The muscles of the pharynx are represented by dorsal dilatators. The lateral lips show two slips of muscles.

A hypothesis about the feeding mechanism has been expressed and a comparison with other groups of mites has been made.

Key words: Prostigmata, gnathosoma, musculature, basal sclerite, feeding mechanism.

È stato condotto uno studio sulla muscolatura delle parti boccali di un acaro Penthaleidae, il Penthaleus major (Dugés), utilizzando il microscopio luce, quello elettronico a scansione e a trasmissione.
 Sono stati osservati e descritti il digitus mobilis ed il relativo sclerite basale, i muscoli dei cheliceri, quelli della pompa faringeale e delle labbra laterali.

La muscolatura dei cheliceri risulta costituita dai muscoli protrattori e retrattori degli stiletti e da tre muscoli dorso-ventrali depressori del secondo articolo chelicerale.
 Per la pompa faringeale è stato individuato un gruppo di muscoli dilatatori dorsali mentre per le labbra laterali sono stati descritti due muscoli adduttori delle stesse.

Infine è stata formulata un’ipotesi circa il comportamento trofico dell’acaro ed una successiva comparazione con le strutture descritte per altri gruppi di acari.

title: An edition and study of al-Munawwar on Hanbali jurisprudence by al-Adami (d.749 A.H./A.D.1329).
Creators: name: Al-Munais, Waleed A.A.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: The aim of this thesis is to present an edition of a unique and important manuscript of Hanbali jurisprudence entitled 'Al-Munawwar fi Rajih al-Muharrar' written by Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Adami (d.c.749AH/AD1329) and which has not yet been studied despite later Hanbali scholars' heavy reliance on it in their work. This edition is supplemented by an introduction designed to make the edited text more accessible. This commentary discusses the manuscript, the author and his sources. A broad discussion of Hanbali legal terminology and a comparison of Al-Muharrar with other important works of jurisprudence provides a better understanding of the text, which is presented with explanatory footnotes in the final section of the thesis. In the process of editing the manuscript every effort was made to do as accurate an edition of the work as possible, preserving the originality of the work whilst making it accessible to the modem reader. The study consists of five parts which are divided into a number of chapters. Part One: This explores the importance of Al-Munawwar, provides a biography of Al-Adami, describes the framework of Al-Munawwar, ascribes it to its author and discusses the plague of 749/1329. Part Two: This describes the sources of Al-Munawwar with particular reference to Al-Majd's Al-Muharrar of which it is an abridgement. I also discuss the methodology and terminology adopted by both Al-Adami and Al-Majd. Part Three: This gives definitions of the major legal terms used in Hanbali jurisprudence, including a history of how this terminology has been understood by different generations. Part Four: This part focuses on the methodology of editing the manuscript. Part Five: The edited and authenticated text is presented with an annotated commentary.
title: Love your country on Nanjing Road : The British and the May Fourth Movement in Shanghai.
Creators: name: Airaksinen, Tiina Helena
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: The primary purpose of my research is to analyse the development of British reactions to and perceptions of the May Fourth Movement manifestations, especially in Shanghai during late 1910's and early 1920's. The aim is to study what kind of implications the British attitudes and reactions had on the development of the May Fourth Movement. Or in other words, the purpose is to identify the various forms of May Fourth activities that resulted from the foreigners' operations and so to determine the extent of the British influence on the May Fourth Movement in Shanghai. By researching the British reactions, the objective is to explore more profoundly their political, economic and cultural hegemony in Shanghai. The three major British groups that are researched here are the governmental and municipal officials, the business community and the missionaries. While I agree with earlier researchers' emphasis on both the ideological and political causes of the Movement and the need for China's democratic liberation, we also need to take account of power relationships between the foreign and Chinese communities. Hence, another purpose of the study is to assess Chinese May Fourth protagonists' activities in relation to the Shanghai foreign community. Accordingly, the focus is also on the dynamics of interaction between the British and Chinese and its impact on the development of the May Fourth Movement. The fundamental hypothesis is that the British reactions affected developments of the May Fourth Movement activities in Shanghai. When elaborated further, this assumption proposes that the contemporary British actions had a certain influence on a subsequent new wave of Chinese anti-foreign and anti-Christian movements. This approach supports the hypothesis that the succeeding outbreak of radical Chinese nationalism was partly influenced by the British reactions to the May Fourth Movement. This research is based on previously closed materials held in the Shanghai Municipal Archives and they are supplemented with sources from British Archives. These include the Jardine, Matheson & Company materials, especially its vast twentieth century correspondence and access to this material was not available until very recently.
title: A synchronic and diachronic study of Korean modal suffixes.
Creators: name: Choo, Young-Jae
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2003

description: This functional typological study of the Korean Modal Suffixes intends to establish a rather comprehensive picture of the Korean modal suffixes (hereafter KMS). It employs diachronic and synchronic approaches assuming that synchronic rules reflect the diachronic development of the KMS. It also traces the development of the KMS from the point of view of their interaction with tense and aspect. Chapter one gives a general overview of the whole work. Chapter two surveys previous studies on modality both from a general point of view and with regard to Korean and presents a preliminary account of the KMS. Chapter three deals with the Typological characteristics of the KMS. It establishes the suffixation rule, which presupposes that if there exist morphologically distinctive classes, there should be places of occurrence for the respective items which give automatic clues for their identification. Chapter four is concerned with the semantic features of the KMS. A number of semantic parameters of the system have been accounted for, and definitions of sub-categories and formulations are proposed on a conceptual basis (Palmer 1986). This thesis is also dedicated to the description of the polysemous character of the KMS and to the establishment of the principle which governs the expansion of meanings, the cause and nature of semantic change in terms of a compromise between the two approaches - prototype and componential semantic theories (Bennett 1990; Taylor 1995). In the course of presenting a classification of their meanings, it emphasizes their polysemous nature and gives prominence to the distinction between deontic and epistemic uses. Chapter five explores the historical development of the KMS. The assumption that what might have started as a context-dependent extension acquires the status of an established prototypical sense is applied to a representative set of Middle and Old Korean etymologies. The principles of change are accounted for from a grammaticalization perspective (Hopper & Traugott 1993). Chapter six summarizes the original contributions of this thesis.
title: Land utilisation in the Shewa province of Ethiopia.
Creators: name: Singh, Chandra Pal
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1970

description: The province of Shewa is located in the centre of Ethiopia and the national capital, Addis Abeba, is located at its centre. The Shewan Plateau and the higher parts of the Rift Valley in southern Shewa, comprising more than three fourths of the total area of the province, provide suitable conditions for farming. Nearly 96% of the population of Shewa lives in this part of the province. The remainder is inhabited by the nomadic Adal herdsmen. The study deals with the utilisation of land by the people in the cropland area of Shewa. The cropland has been divided into four regions based on natural and human factors, and the present state of subsistence farming has been examined in each region. The results of a questionnaire survey of 255 farmers have been included to explain reasons of the existence of subsistence farming in a province which has high agricultural potential, as has been demonstrated by the commercial farms which have been established very recently. To facilitate comparision with other parts of Ethiopia as well as with studies of other countries the land use classification suggested by the World Land Use Survey of the International Geographical Union has been adopted and modified according to the local needs. The study has been divided into three parts Part One consists of the physical and human background. Part Two discusses the land utilisation in cropland region of Shewa, and Part Three contains conclusions. The tables obtained from the questionnaire survey have been included in Appendices after Part Three.

description: The central nervous system (CNS) relies on complex and dynamic interactions between neurons and glial cells. Among glial cells, astrocytes regulate the chemical environment surrounding neurons and supply essential nutrients for brain metabolism whereas microglia, the resident macrophages of the CNS, play critical roles in homeostasis, defense, and responses to injury. Both microglia and astrocytes contribute to the regulation of excitotoxicity and inflammation mediated by the metabolism of tryptophan (Trp) via the kynurenine pathway. Trp metabolism generates several bioactive metabolites, including quinolinic acid (QUIN) and kynurenic acid (KYNA), which have opposing effects. QUIN, produced by activated microglia, acts as an agonist for NMDA receptors; excessive stimulation of these receptors can lead to excitotoxicity and neuronal death. Conversely, KYNA, primarily produced by astrocytes via kynurenine 2,3-aminotransferases (KAT), acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist, conferring neuroprotection by mitigating excitotoxicity. Dysregulation of the Trp metabolism is implicated in many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as in various neuropsychiatric disorders. This review examines the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Trp metabolism in glial cells, highlighting the unique contributions of each glial phenotype, the implications for CNS pathologies, and the potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for restoring homeostasis and preventing disease progression.

description: BIO-ETHOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS OF PELIOCOCCUS CYCLIGER (LEONARDI, 1908) (HOMOPTERA: PSEUDOCOCCIDAE)

Peliococcus cycliger (Leonardi) (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae) produces three generations in a year in Apulia, on Olea europaea L. The mealybug is oviparous and parthenogenetic; males are rare. The mealybug dislikes high temperatures. The first generation of P. cycliger lives on the branches, the second protects itself in the bark crevices, or under Saissetia oleae (Oliv.) and Lichtensia viburni Sign. The first instar of the third generation overwinters inside waxy cocoons.

Crematogaster scutellaris Oliv. (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) attends to the mealybug and the endoparasitoid Anagyrus How. sp. (Hymenoptera, Encyrtidae) partially controls the scale.

Damage is not reported on olive-trees.
 Key words: Oryzopsis miliacea, Cynodon dactylon, Aphaenogaster testaceo-pilosus, distribution.

Peliococcus cycliger (Leonardi) è una specie ovipara, presumibilmente partenogenetica telitoca ed anfigonica facoltativa, che nei nostri ambienti svolge tre generazioni all’anno su Olea europaea L.

Lo Pseudococcino non mostra gradire gli eccessi termici. Gli individui della prima generazione sono ben visibili, mentre quelli della seconda generazione si riparano nelle anfrattuosità della corteccia, o presso esemplari di Saissetia oleae (Oliv.) e di Lichtensia viburni Sign. Le neanidi di prima età della terza generazione superano l’inverno in bozzoletti cerosi.

La specie viene accudita da Crematogaster scutellaris Oliv. e parassitizzata da un Imenottero Encirtide, appartenente al gen. Anagyrus How.

Non sono stati osservati danni sulla pianta ospite.

title: The historical tradition of Ogoni, Nigeria.
Creators: name: Kpone-Tonwe, Sonpie
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1987

description: The thesis is a study of oral tradition preserved in the Ogoni district of Eastern Nigeria. The Ogoni, who occupy the mainland coast of south-eastern Nigeria, between the Imo and the Bonny rivers, are culturally and linguistically distinct. Their ancestors arrived in the area by sea in canoes many centuries before their present neighbours came to settle. Their social organization was based on class distinctions, with success in agriculture as the chief means of social mobility. Yams and plantains, which, they claim, were domesticated by their ancestors, constitute the main crops. Their religious-cum-military system included the award of titles, the highest of which is the basis of ancestral spirit-possession among the Ogoni. Contrary to long-held opinions, the thesis reveals that the Ogoni controlled the long-distance trade of the Eastern Niger Delta in pre-European times. Trade routes linked the hinterland to market towns on the coast of Ogoni. The main items of trade consisted of salt, slaves and sea foods, and the medium of exchange was an iron currency. The study showed that the ancient Ogoni regarded the acquisition of domestic slaves as a mark of social distinction. Furthermore, the thesis clarifies several issues concerning the early Portuguese contacts in this region and identifies the trading places described in the early Portuguese writings. The thesis is based entirely on primary material collected from selected informants during my fieldwork in the area from June till October 1981, and from November 1983 till March 1984. The type of informants included traditional rulers and chiefs, priests, spirit-mediums of founding ancestors who were currently possessing living descendants, recognized hunters, heads of traditional institutions, leaders of occupational guilds, heads of secret societies, etc. Interviews were recorded on tapes, transcribed and translated into English. The thesis is an analysis of this final material.

title: Politics and aspects of the development of Libya's air transport systems : A geographical analysis.
Creators: name: Marghani, Amin Bashir Daabaj
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1988

description: The aim of this thesis is to analyse the developments of Libya's air transport systems and infrastructures by analysing the evolution of these spatial organisations. Certain underlying factors are examined in order to explain these developments including the political element influencing the changing flows in, and structures of, the networks. The Study emphasises the need to examine similar systems in other developing countries in the light of internal political forces, and the impact of the policies of the major suppliers of air transport technology. The Preface defines the subject matter and methodology. The Introduction deals with the topic in order to introduce the ideas presented in the subsequent chapters of this thesis. The remainder of this thesis is divided into six chapters so that each covers a distinctive aspect of development. Chapter 1 investigates air transport in Libya in the pre-independence period before 1951, concentrating on the immediate pre-Independence years. Chapter 2 examines the impact of oil as an indigenous factor enabling the development of the Libyan air transport systems and infrastructure. The macro planning processes in Libyan air transport are considered in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 places the contemporary developments in Libya's international and domestic air networks in their wider geographical con-text with special reference to the four North African national airlines. Chapter 5 analyses the geographical and political aspects of the organisation of the Libyan air transport systems with emphasis on the predictions for changes in their organisation as a consequence of the removal of the administrative centre of the country from the historic location of Tripoli. This chapter also considers the revival of the strategic significance of the Libyan airport system. Chapter 6 considers the aircraft fleet aspect of Libyan air transport and throws light on the ability of the US Government to single handedly prevent its updating and to obstruct efforts towards an efficient system.
Appunti sulla presenza di Cybocephalus rufifrons Reitt. in Suditalia (Coleoptera: Cybocephalidae)

description: SOME REMARKS ON THE PRESENCE OF CYBOCEPHALUS RUFIFRONS REITT. IN SOUTH ITALY (COLEOPTERA: CYBOCEPHALIDAE)

New data based on both field and laboratory observations are presented on larval morphology, oviposition, predatory behaviour and life cycle, of Cybocephalus rufifrons Reitt. (= C. flaviceps Reitt.). This species does widely occur in South Italy (Apulia and Basilicata) on Cupressus sempervirens and C. arizonica, where it feeds on the common cypress armored scale, Carulaspis minima (Targ.-Tozz.), although it occurs also on Thuya, Juniperus, Tamarix and cherry-trees.

On the cypress, the adult predatory activity does not completely stop in the cold season, but it persists against the wintering populations of the armored scale. Oviposition occurs in spring and summer under female shields of Carulaspis. The full-grown larvae possess two pairs of glandular tubercles of abdomen (segments 8 e 9), which produces silk for cocoon building. This is likely made at soil.

Key words: Cybocephalidae, Diaspididae, Cupressus, behaviour.

Vengono illustrate alcune novità sulla morfologia larvale, il comportamento e il ciclo vitale di Cybocephalus rufifrons Reitt. (= C. flaviceps Reitt.), noto predatore di Rincoti Diaspididi largamente diffuso in Sud Italia. Le osservazioni sono state condotte su esemplari raccolti su cipressi. La specie è risultata presente anche su Thuya, Juniperus, Tamarix e ciliegio coltivato e mantiene la propria attività trofica anche nei mesi freddi. L’ovideposizione avviene in primavera-estate sotto i follicoli femminili dei Diaspididi. Le larve sono dotate di tubercoli ghiandolari dell’addome per la filatura della seta del bozzolo, che viene presumibilmente costruito al suolo.

title: Pronominal and clitic systems in Taqbaylit Berber.
Creators: name: Belkadi, Aicha
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation investigates pronominal and clitic systems in Taqbaylit Berber (Afro-asiatic) from the point of view of their syntactic, semantic and interpretative properties. The thesis's contribution to current research is two-fold. First, a detailed analysis of Taqbaylit as used in spoken discourse is provided along with an exploration of clausal and nominal structures. In particular, the TAM system is explored and arranged within an extended event structure as proposed by Tenny (2000). An in-depth analysis of the various orders in which DP elements are placed and a proposal on the internal structure of the constituent, based on Cinque's universal DP template (1996; 2000; 2005) is also proposed. Secondly, an alternative account of clitic orderings exploiting hierarchical partitions of pronominal forms and a comprehensive and systematic organization of the pronominal system of Taqbaylit Berber focusing on the syntax and semantics/pragmatics of clitics and non-clitic related pro-forms is given. Within the frameworks aforementioned, clitic placements in CP and DP are argued to be derived in two steps. At the syntactic level, clitics are argued to move as phrases to the highest functional projection realized by the lexical head they are associated with. At PF, clitics are argued to incorporate into an adjacent preceding prosodic head or if no such head is available to the following lexical head. Enclitic orders with nominal and verbal heads are further derived by a clitic-host inversion. From the point of view' of typology, it is shown that the pronominal organization of Taqbaylit conforms to independently proposed hierarchical classifications of pronominal forms into different classes or categories (e.g. Cardinaletti & Starke, 1999 and Dechaine & Witlschko, 2002).

title: The Madhyamika dimension of Yinshun : A restatement of the School of Nagarjuna in 20th century Chinese Buddhism.
Creators: name: Travagnin, Stefania
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2009

description: Yinshun (1906-2005) is regarded as one of the eminent monies representative of twentieth-century Chinese Buddhism. He has been valued for his large corpus of writings and scholarly achievement, as well as for his contribution to the change and development of Chinese Buddhism in the twentieth century and his influence on the formation of the future Chinese Buddhist community. Yinshun undertook the mission of re-commenting on and re-promoting the study of the Madhyamika scriptures. His efforts provoked a revival of interest towards the Madhyamika School among contemporary Chinese Buddhist and, a reassessment of the writings of Nagarjuna within Chinese Buddhism. This research reveals the Madhyamika patterns in Yinshun's works and practice and argues that the Madhyamika dimension of Yinshun should be interpreted within the context of the religious, intellectual and national restoration that twentieth-century China was subject to. At that time Chinese Buddhists came to create a new theoretical framework on which to base the new Buddhism, and adopted the latter as a symbol of the new Chinese identity. Yinshun articulated his own mission to restoring Chinese Buddhism, and the first part of his plan was the establishment of new standards of authority and a modem orientation towards tradition. For this purpose, he theorised a "negotiation strategy" that combined the figure and teachings of Nagarjuna with the mainstream Chinese San-lun doctrine. This work aims to present a still unexplored level of analysis of Yinshun, as well as an unprecedented reconstruction of the modern history and exegesis of the Madhyamika/San-lun in China. Finally, with the argument that Yinshun's negotiation between traditions was intended for a Buddhist recovery of the nation, this dissertation can also locate itself in the discipline of historical studies of China.

title: Nature, law and historical transformation : A comparative study with particular reference to China and India.
Creators: name: Wilcox, Russell Gerard
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines historical transformation through the prism of legal transformation. The central question it addresses is: what is the nature of historical and legal transformation? Making demonstrative reference to recent legal change in China and India, and after setting that change within the broadest historical context, the thesis shows that both jurisdictions manifest a gradual though powerful trend towards legal uniformity through the remarkably similar developmental trajectories they each disclose. This it takes to connote a wider trend within the culture of advanced modernity, one that involves a systematic departure from the basic precepts of the natural law. Observance of these precepts, it argues, represents an ineliminable guarantee of maximal individual freedom and cultural diversity. Explaining these conclusions, the thesis distinguishes three normative orders each allowing a different degree of human volition: the linguistic, the physical and the legal. The third of these orders, the legal, is characterised as an admixture of the other two. Its particular distinguishing feature is that it is in some manner pressure bearing. Amongst the varieties of normative social pressure, a general movement can be detected towards greater formalisation. As legal norms become more formalised, they become less like the norms of language and more like those of physical nature. The degree to which this shift takes place is an indication of the extent to which society has been denatured. This process of denaturing is rooted in a deeper process of materialisation. The human being is an irreducibly material and immaterial composite whose consequent material and immaterial inclinations need to be satisfied in an ordered fashion giving priority to the former. To the extent that choices are made which try to satisfy immaterial needs with material goods, fundamental distortions arise. The principal significance of the thesis is that it demonstrates the fruitfulness for comparative analysis of traditional natural law thinking. On this basis it offers a new model for understanding social and legal change.

title: Yang Weizhen's Iron Style poems on history.
Creators: name: Lai, Hing Fong Camilla
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is the first in-depth research on Yang Weizhen's Iron Style poems on history. It argues that Yang's poems are a product of his life experience, his imitation of other poets' work and his own creativity. Yang's poems are imbued with the poet's complicated personality, his interest in music and drama, and his unique views and feelings about history. It is divided into six chapters, in addition to an introductory chapter on Yang and the research topic itself. Chapter One concentrates on how Yang's political and social background facilitated the emergence of his Iron Style, and investigates the composition dates. Chapter Two explores Yang's Iron Style poems on history in the context of the overall development of poetry on history. Chapter Three looks at different definitions of 'Tie ti' (Iron Style/Form), also "Tieya ti" (Iron Cliff Style/Form). It tries to clarify these confusing definitions and settle the controversy by arguing that 'Tie ti' is a poetic style, the unique style of Yang. Chapter Four explores the main constituents of Yang's Iron Style poetry on history. It shows that in a single poem there is more than one writing style. Chapter Five investigates the presentation techniques used in Yang's Iron Style poetry on history, which again reflect his personality and interests. Chapter Six probes the core and essence of Yang's Iron Style poems on history and reveals how the poet thought. His poetry on history is a reflection of his historical opinions and his philosophy on life.
