title: Now the half has been told: Resistance and the fiction of four contemporary Caribbean women writers.
Creators: name: Scafe, Suzanne R.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2006

description: This thesis focuses on the articulation of political resistance in contemporary fiction by Caribbean women writers and, by using a dialogic approach to reading selected texts, theorises the difference that gender makes in the representation of these dominant themes. Representations of political resistance and transformation in novels by Merle Collins, Zee Edgell, Brenda Flanagan and Erna Brodber are examined in the context of an analysis of Caribbean fiction by male and female writers, which spans a seventy-year period. It begins by arguing that, although Caribbean writers have traditionally used creatively transformed linguistic and textual strategies to signify resistance to colonial domination. Merle Collins' first novel, Angel, extends these traditions of novelistic transformation to produce a text which is more radically oppositional and at the same time dependent for meaning on its literary precursors. Subsequent chapters focus on different aspects of resistance and trace dialogic connections between fiction by contemporary women writers, colonialist narratives and writing by earlier canonical and non-canonical Caribbean novelists; these connections are used to reveal the ways in which ideologies of gender shape the character of resistance and determine the conditions and possibilities of political, social and cultural transformation. The study concludes by arguing for the need to resist merely reproducing the over-determining categories of resistance and liberation that have characterised fictional and theoretical treatments of these themes: it argues for a need to take into account women's complex and sometimes contradictory interventions in the process of anti-colonial resistance and for the construction of a model of resistance which is inclusive, plural and dialogically defined.

title: The siling (four cardinal animals) in Han pictorial art.
Creators: name: Wong, Pui Yin Marianne
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2006

description: The term siling in this thesis, literally "four divine creatures", refers to this group of four animal spirits with directional significance commonly represented in the Han Dynasty and later periods, namely, the qinglong of the East, baihu of the West, zhuque of the South, and the xuanwu of the North. My thesis will explore the place occupied by the second group of four animal symbols in various pictorial art forms among the material remains of the Han, aiming to trace the emergence and spread of the visual representations of the siling. This study argues that, although individual animal images of the siling did not appear simultaneously, and although all four had much more ancient origins and associations with the cardinal directions, it was in the Western Han dynasty and in the neighbourhood of the capital Chang'an that the images of the four animals first emerged in a consistent iconography. The major concern of this research project is the meaning and usage and of the set of siling symbols, mainly in Han funerary contexts, taking into account relevant textual sources and the association of the siling with Han cosmological thought and some of the intellectual ideas that were predominant during the Han dynasty. By means of a comprehensive study of the set of siling representations, I aim to contribute to the knowledge of Han period archaeology and provide a new channel for the understanding of Han dynasty culture and beliefs.

title: British industrial investment in mainland China 1895-1940.
Creators: name: Swan, David Macdonald
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2005

description: British industrial investment in China before 1895 was slight - mainly marine engineering (51% share) and silk processing (25%). The liberalising Treaty of Shimonoseki then led to an upsurge of British investment which by the late 1930s was in real terms about a third of that currently. The profile of British investment changed rapidly - by 1897 cotton textiles accounted for 19% to be outstripped by mining (63% by 1903). By 1912 the tobacco industry took first place with a peak share of 70% in 1920. These three sectors account for less than 2% of current investment with 74% being in oil/gas and chemicals. The analysis then considers the various sectors of this British investment by 1940 and their differential impact on the Chinese economy. In terms of interface with other investing countries, there was modest competition with other Western countries - indeed, there was, especially with French and Belgian interests, significant cooperation with British investors. The greater competitive interface with Japan was marked in cotton textiles and tobacco. The effect of UK (and other foreign) industrial investment on Chinese development is a contentious area. In terms of alleged financial exploitation (high profitability well in excess of that in the investors' country and most of these profits being siphoned off abroad) analysis of the financial evidence suggests that these charges must be considerably tempered. This conclusion coupled with the prior analysis of the sectors of British investment implies that many of the charges concerning the impact of British industrial investment in China by 1940 must be given a more favourable verdict. It would seem that the reason for the disrepute in which UK industrial investment has been held by both Chinese and Western sources is more due to the arrogant manner in which, in many cases, these investments were carried out rather than the nature of the investment itself.

title: Individuation and the shaping of personal identity: A comparative study of the modern novel.
Creators: name: Saugestad, Frode
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2006

description: This study endeavours to contribute to the sociology of literature through its analysis of the process of individuation in three distinct literatures, one western and two Arabic. The overarching aim of this thesis is to link the process of individuation to the literary genre of the novel, and demonstrate how one can probe certain aspects of individuation through the study of the novel. This particular approach facilitates a significant dialogical interaction between the process of individuation and the genre of the novel. By contextualising each writer in his specific literary field of production one is able to identify the specificity of his literary contribution, in the process of shaping personal identity. The introduction outlines the theoretical framework and argues that literary texts are immersed in a complex social network of power relations relevant to perceptions of identity, the process of individuation and the psychology of the individual, by linking them to the complex process of modernity. The study grounds its investigation in the most sophisticated theories in the sociology of cultures, identity and literary theory through the work of Pierre Bourdieu, Stuart Hall, Anthony Giddens, Rene Girard, and Mikhail Bakhtin. By doing so it avoids the normative and simplistic understanding of the process of individuation, and the genre of the novel. It views the modem novel as immersed in a complex social network of power relations (Bourdieu), relevant to perceptions of identity (Hall), and the process of individuation and the psychology of the individual (Girard), interwoven into the fabric of the complex process of modernity (Giddens) and articulated in the modem novel due to its polyphony of voices (Bakhtin).

title: Mirrors in Koryo society: Their history, use and meanings.
Creators: name: Horlyck, Charlotte
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2005

description: The Koryoˇ dynasty (AD 918-1392) witnessed an unprecedented rise in the production of bronze mirrors that were cast in a large variety of shapes, sizes and motifs. This thesis explores the history, use and meanings of Koryoˇ mirrors and challenges preconceived interpretations viewing them as one-dimensional everyday objects whose mundane existence persisted irrespective of context. Through a detailed study of the surviving evidence, a complex picture emerges and mirrors are proven to be meaningful commodities that operate within unique social, political and religious settings. These conditions govern their production and consumption and determine their stylistic attributes and uses. The body of material examined consists of archaeologically recovered mirrors from tombs and pagodas and unprovenanced examples in museum collections. The former undergo a rigorous structuralist analysis within their known framework of use, whereas the latter expand and enrich the sample. Pre- Koryoˇ examples are also brought into the discussion in the belief that earlier traditions informed the ways in which Koryoˇ mirrors functioned. Stylistic comparisons are made with foreign examples and the few available written sources provide further insights into the use of mirrors in Koryoˇ. In this way, the multiple functions and meanings of Koryoˇ mirrors are brought to light and interpreted. As secular commodities, mirrors performed both ordinary and complex roles as grooming utensils, diplomatic and trade items, luxury artefacts and collectibles of aesthetic and antiquarian value. Their production was controlled by the government and the best specimens, apparently restricted to the aristocracy, came to manifest high social status, a quality that members of local elites sought to emulate through the consumption of similar items. As ritual objects, mirrors were associated with status and auspiciousness and assumed apotropaic qualities; they also embodied key concepts within the Buddhist teaching. For these reasons, they were used as burial goods and were also included alongside relics within pagodas. Their secular and ritual roles were thus interwoven and the one did not preclude the other.

title: Japan-Republic of China relations under US hegemony: A genealogy of 'returning virtue for malice'.
Creators: name: Kijima, Joji
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2005

description: Much of Chiang Kai-shek's 'returning virtue for malice' (yide baoyuan) postwar Japan policy remains to be examined. This thesis mainly shows how the discourse of 'returning virtue for malice' facilitated Japan's diplomatic recognition of the Republic of China (ROC) on Taiwan during the Cold War era. More conceptually, this study re- conceptualizes foreign policy as discourse-that of moral reciprocity-as it sheds light on the question of recognition as well as the consensual aspect of hegemony. By adopting a genealogical approach, this discourse analysis thus traces the descent and emergence of the 'returning virtue for malice' trope while it examines its discursive effect on Tokyo's recognition of Taipei under American hegemony. After tracing the emergence of Chiang's postwar Japan policy as discourse, this thesis first delves into the rise of 'returning virtue for malice' as it demonstrates how the discursive formation of Tokyo's recognition of Taipei constituted US hegemony in East Asia at the inception of the Cold War. Second, this study then highlights the heyday of 'returning virtue for malice' as it shows how a powerful coalition formed around the discourse in the domain of Japanese politics, thereby reproducing the recognition of Nationalist China as well as consolidating American hegemony at the height of the Cold War. Third, this research sheds light on the decline of 'returning virtue for malice' as it depicts the erosion of the Japanese discourse coalition and US hegemony due to the lack of consent between Tokyo, Taipei, and Washington as the nature of the Cold War dramatically changed in East Asia. In short, the discourse of Chiang Kai-shek's 'returning virtue for malice' postwar Japan policy represented Chiang as the benefactor to whom the Japanese should repay their 'debt of gratitude', thereby making Japan's recognition of the Republic of China on Taiwan possible. In effect, this thesis presents a way of reading bilateral relations as it mainly shows how recognition can be constructed by the political actors who draw on hegemonic practices from the past-such as moral reciprocity-under hegemony.
Deep-learning classifications of galaxy morphologies in large JWST surveys
Creators: name: Makechemu, Jason Shingirai
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Investigations of AGN host galaxies including their merger history and morphology have been conducted up to z ~ 2. However, new JWST surveys such as COSMOS-Web and CEERS permit investigation of the properties of AGN host galaxy populations in rest-frame optical between 0.5 < z < 4; this spans the entire cosmic noon period where both SMBH growth and galaxy star formation rates peak. We use the deep-learning classifier ‘Zoobot’ to determine galaxy morphologies in the aforementioned surveys. This is conducted via a transfer learning method that inherits prior training of Zoobot on ground-based imagery. Predictions of the JWST morphologies are then applied to the large multi-wavelength imaging set of COSMOS-Web, after being fine-tuned using Galaxy Zoo volunteer classifications of CEERS images. The predictive capabilities of Zoobot will be discussed, as well as how well it compares to human volunteer classifications, and potential use cases for the fine-tuned model.
title: Politics of economic liberalisation in urban Tanzania.
Creators: name: Dhar, Bulbul
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: This thesis examines the political responses of urban Tanzanians to the policies of economic liberalisation implemented since the late 1980s by the Government of Tanzania as part of the Structural Adjustment Programme sponsored by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. It also examines their political responses to the issue of multiparty politics. The argument is that even though Structural Adjustment has been initiated in Tanzania, it crucially needs public support to engender the kind of government commitment and capability that is required to enable the government to implement it fully. It looks at three categories of respondents, those of the urban lower classes, those in the government and party bureaucracy and those in the educational and media sectors, who form part of the intelligentsia. The analysis is based on fieldwork carried out in the three major towns of Dar-es-Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma where open-ended interviews were conducted with more than 290 citizens. One wide-spread response to the economic hardship, since the early 1980s, has been to work in the informal sector, which along with the illegal underground economy, has been termed the Second Economy. The responses largely indicate a willingess to put up with the hardships imposed by the economic austerity of the liberalisation measures, over and above that caused by the economic crisis of the early and mid-1980s. But whether this public tolerance will continue in the absence of further short-term benefits is not clear. Also, regarding the moves towards political liberalisation and multiparty politics, these late-1980s developments are seen as improving governance, with a general feeling being that it has served to improve the functioning of the single-party. But clearly urban Tanzanians do not feel that more parties means greater democracy. However, the related phenomena of 'disengagement' from the state and the 'informalisation' of the economy, with their diversion of state resources including human capital away from the formal economy, do not augur well for the future success of structural adjustment. If, consequently, growth in the formal sector does not respond to structural adjustment as it is intended to, the political legitimacy of the leadership in the post-colonial Tanzanian state may well be under threat.

title: Farm size and productivity in Egyptian agriculture : An analysis of agrarian structure and technical change.
Creators: name: Dyer, Graham
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: The inverse relationship between farm size and productivity is widely accepted as a "stylised fact" of agriculture in developing countries, a generalised phenomenon observed in widely differing agro-climatic conditions and agrarian structures. This thesis uses primary fieldwork data to examine the factors which give rise to such a relationship, and the impact of economic and technological change on the inverse relationship in the context of Egyptian agriculture. The significance of the inverse relationship as a crucial developmental issue cannot be overemphasised. The inverse relationship constitutes a major component of the economic rationale for redistributive land reform, and has obvious importance for policy issues concerning land reorganization. Part one critically discusses the inverse relationship debate, with particular emphasis on India, as an essential preliminary analysis to the examination of the Egyptian situation. The Indian literature on the inverse relationship is by far the most extensive, and it is within this debate that most of the analytical approaches to the inverse relationship have originated. The second, core part of the thesis uses fieldwork data from rural Egypt (an extensive 18-village survey conducted by the ILO in 1976 and the author's own intensive 2-village survey conducted in 1990) to support a new political economy approach to understanding the factors behind the inverse relationship and to examine how the inverse relationship breaks down in the dynamic context. We show that in the static context, the inverse relationship arises from the economic compulsions to which poor peasants are subject within a relatively backward agriculture. Redistribution of land on the basis of the inverse relationship argument therefore, will only deepen and perpetuate these conditions. Furthermore, in the dynamic context of technological change, the inverse relationship will disappear. The inverse relationship argument for redistributive land reform no longer has any rationale in the context of changing production conditions.
title: Income inequality and poverty in Malaysia.
Creators: name: Hashim, Shireen Mardziah
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: The debate surrounding the relationship between economic growth and income distribution continues to attract important discussion in the development literature. While the literature suggests that rapid growth causes income to be more unequally distributed, empirical evidence is mixed. It seems that the relationship between growth and inequality varies considerably depending on individual country characteristics and the determinants of growth. Malaysia is a pronounced pluralistic society and is often considered to have a dualistic economic structure. Ethnicity and regional imbalances play important roles in determining the pattern of poverty and inequality. Areas of greater than average dependence on agriculture appear to have lower income levels, and tend to be populated by Malaysia's indigenous races. Since the riots of May 1969, which were assumed to have some connection with economic development and economic imbalances, Malaysia has been pursuing redistribution through growth with the implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP). Thus the purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature and extent of poverty and income inequality in Malaysia, with particular emphasis on the 1980s. This study first seeks to verify the presence of any systematic relationship between inequality and economic development. The trends in income distribution will then be examined by looking at overall, urban-rural and ethnic inequality for Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak. Given the fact that certain areas are predominantly inhabited by certain ethnic groups, which form "pockets of poverty", the regional aspect of inequality will also be addressed. The discussion on poverty begins with an explanation of the calculation of the official Malaysian poverty line, followed by a demonstration of how it has been updated over the years and ends by sketching a profile of the poor. As the NEP was launched to re-unite and rebuild the country after the traumatic 1969 experience, this thesis concludes with an assessment of the impact of its policy prescriptions on poverty and income inequality.

Creators: name: Ryden, Edmund John

Year: 1995

description: Since the first publication of the Huangdi Sijing in 1974, a critical literary study of it has been required to stand in the middle ground between the word by word commentaries of the editors and the generalisations of the historians of philosophy. A literary study puts the emphasis on the primacy of the text itself and aims to show its philosophy in relation to its literary format. Part One of the thesis isolates units within the text by concentrating on the use of binary terminology. By noting passages that use different binary terms, one can identify varying strands of composition. These are each placed in relation to their literary context in so far as it is known from works of the same period. Part Two looks at the process of redaction of each of the four canons and their social context. It shows how disparate essays could be gathered under one cover to serve a common end. The method is that in common use in Biblical studies. A conclusion reviews the notions of "school" and "huang-lao" that are current in contemporary discussions of Chinese thought. My edition of the text cannot pretend to be definitive but it does aspire to set a standard of scholarship by presenting the opinions of all editions known to me in a way that allows for future modifications, if necessary, by supplying a standard form of reference for any passage, free from the vagaries of modem pagination and with a full apparatus. The standards of editing the text are also those current in critical editions of the Bible. If I have been able to present the Chinese text in a standard way, then perhaps this work may furnish greater scholars with material to enable them to give to Chinese philosophy the place it deserves in the commonwealth of human wisdom.
The fungus Nectria aurantiicola Berk. et Br. (Fusarium larvarum Fuckel) a biocontrol agent of the armored scale Suturaspis archangelskyae (Lindinger) in Apulia (Southern Italy)

description: Suturaspis archangelskyae [(Lindinger) 1929] (Homoptera, Diaspididae), an armored scale insect collected in Apulia (Italy) on Prunus dulcis (Miller) D. A. Webb (=almond) and Prunus webbii (Spach) Vierh., is reported to be infected by Fusarium larvarum Fuckel.

The cycle of the fungus, as studied on female lineage of S. archangelskyae, shows mycelium in August and September, orange sporodochia from November to March, while mature red perithe- cia of the teleomorph Nectria aurantiicola Berk. et Br. are observed since middle January up to the first half of February. The fungus survives during the hot dry season as mycelium in the dead body of the host.

The fungus is able to kill about 50% of the scales and spreads among demes by conidia carried on crawlers. Both varieties, the creamy var. larvarum Fuckel and the carmine-red var. rubrum Gerlach, are found on natural infected scales. The male progeny of S. archangelskyae seems not to be affected by the fungus.

Ascospores are observed as well, but their role in pathogenesis remains unknown.

NECTRIA AURANTIICOLA BERK. ET BR. (FUSARIUM LARVARUM FUCKEL) ANTAGONISTA DI SUTURASPIS ARCHANGEL-

SKYAE (LINDINGER) IN PUGLIA (ITALIA MERIDIONALE)

Gli autori descrivono la simbiosi fra un fungo entomopatogeno, Fusarium larvarum Fuckel (teleomorfo Nectria aurantiicola Berk. et Br.), ed il diaspino Suturaspis archangelskyae (Lindinger, 1929) su Prunus dulcis (Miller) D. A. Webb e P. webbii (Spach) Vierh. presso “Castel del Monte” (Andria, BA) ed in numerose località della Puglia.

Sono state osservate le modalità di disseminazione del fungo ed il procedere dell’infezione, che culmina con l’uccisione delle cocciniglie prima che queste possano riprodursi. Durante i mesi invernali il fungo produce sporodochi reniformi di colore arancio, ricchi di conidi falciformi, e periteci globoso-piriformi di colore rosso arancio, contenenti le ascospore.

Il fungo risulta essere il principale fattore biotico limitante del diaspino del quale uccide le femmine adulte. Esso sembra suscettibile di utilizzo come agente di controllo biologico per inoculazione od incremento, sempre che vengano assicurati a fondo i fattori, ecologici che regolano l’infezione.

Aspetto favorevole all’uso di F. larvarum nelle regioni temperate è la sua predilezione per le temperature moderate. Non è stato possibile chiarire il ruolo delle ascospore nella diffusione del fungo.

Parole chiave: mandorlo, habitat semi-aridi (mediterranei), coccoidei, Cheyletidae (Acari predatori di neanidi).

title: Between expectation and experience : Lives of Gujarati and Sikh women ageing in London.
Creators: name: Srivastava, Archana
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: This ethnographic study traces the ageing process as conditioned by the migration experience, and the social, economic and cultural backgrounds of Gujarati and Sikh women in London. This research was conducted amongst women of the two communities who frequented various Asian organizations and places of worship in Wood Green, Wembley and Southall in London. The data were collected through unstructured interviews. The essential experiences which condition the lives of informants include their migratory history, their residential patterns, the perceived threat from western morality, concern for their cultural identity, and actual and perceived racism. These experiences have demanded various adjustments from Indian women, such as the need to go out of their houses to work. They have to face changes in ideas about masculinity, femininity and authority, balancing their expectations (based on the ideal Indian world) with practicalities of life in London. In the absence of wider familial kin networks they need to rely on other strategies of social contact and support. All these changes have affected most women equally, but from time to time, their responses may be guided by their specific religious, regional, caste and linguistic affiliations, or by individual perceptions which are independent of such factors. This research contributes to the study of the ageing process among first generation women migrants to Britain who are growing old in a western country. It aims to understand their ageing in terms of the conflicts they experience as they adjust their expectations in light of their experience of late twentieth century London. The thesis aims more generally at an understanding of ageing processes of migratory communities living in the West.

title: Vietnamese Communists relations with China and the Second Indochina Conflict, 1956-1962.
Creators: name: Ang, Cheng Guan
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1995

description: This thesis attempts to study the relationship between the Vietnamese communists and China between January 1956 and Summer 1962. It is the first book-length study of Sino-Vietnamese relations during those years. Its principle contribution will be to reconstruct the events as they unfolded in IndoChina and to provide a glimpse of the patterns of decision-making on the communist side of the Vietnam War. Every effort is made to keep in perspective the constant interaction of domestic politics, the role of individual leaders and political factions in both Hanoi and Beijing, and the changing international conditions which impinged on both countries. 1956 was the beginning of a new stage of the Vietnamese struggle for the unification of the country. The years from 1956 to 1962 saw the progression of the Vietnamese communists' struggle from one which was essentially political in nature to one which incorporated armed struggle, and finally in 1959 when armed struggle began to take on a more predominant role. By the summer of 1962, the Chinese were committed to assisting the Vietnamese communists' struggle in the South. This study makes use of Vietnamese, Chinese, British and American sources, many of which were then either not available or have not yet been fully exploited by the earlier scholars. These comprise new Vietnamese source materials and in particular, the second volume of the Lich Su Quan Doi Nhan Dan Viet Nam ([Official] History of the Vietnamese People's Army (VPA)); newly available Chinese source materials; first-person accounts and memoirs of those who in one way or another had been involved in the diplomacy of the 50s and 60s; communist sources monitored and translated by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) known as the Summary of world Broadcasts (SUB); the British Foreign Office General Political Correspondence (FO 371); the Confidential United States State Department Central Files; the United States State Department's Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series; and United States intelligence reports and captured communist documents.
