title: Fear and Insecurity : Competing Narratives of the Iran-Israel Relationship
Creators: name: Leslie, Jonathan Gerwin
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Years after the Islamic Republic of Iran resumed its nuclear development program, Israeli leaders began constructing a narrative aimed at instilling in their polity the fear of Iran as an existential threat to the Jewish State. Building upon Israel’s geopolitical insecurity, politicians, assisted by societal elites, repeatedly claimed that the imminent acquisition of a bomb by Iran’s religious fundamentalist regime undermined Israel’s security and threatened the stability of the world order. This project examines how Israeli leaders crafted a narrative in which Iran’s rulers sought the destruction of Israel; how the Israeli public internalized this perception of Iran as an enemy; and how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu incorporated this message into his foreign policy agenda and used it in efforts to secure the support of international allies. Through the lens of securitization theory, this project analyzes primary source documents to show the divergence between the narrative’s content and historical facts. In doing so, it highlights how perception eclipses reality when a powerful securitizing actor claiming exclusive access to material information identifies a threat source and publicly promotes its danger. It then examines how Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu strategically embraced populist strategies to advocate for extraordinary action against Iran and to bolster his status as a leader and national protector. Taking advantage of Israel’s failure in the Second Lebanon War and Iran’s election of a radical and bombastic president, Netanyahu chose resonant tropes – misusing history, recasting Holocaust memory, and fashioning an overarching moral imperative – to create a permanent crisis and secure Israelis’ acquiescence. By 2015, however, he had failed to convince international powers that a negotiated deal suspending Iran’s nuclear enrichment program would make Israel and the world less safe. This project contributes to our understanding of current and future developments in the Israel-Iran enmity, both predictable and unanticipated.
title: A Festival of Mysticism : Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, Narrative Form and the Politics of Subject Formation
Creators: name: Ames, Catherine
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2018

description: My research is based on the premise that, in form and content, Akutagawa Ryūnosuke’s short stories should be read as a challenge to Taishō (1912–26) conceptions of cultural modernity and nationhood. As artistic and political culture in the Taishō period seemed to polarise into a nativistic Culturalism (kyōyōshugi) on the one hand and a strident Proletarianism on the other, Akutagawa was increasingly viewed as an apolitical aesthete, a vision further entrenched after his totemic suicide in 1927. I aim to rescind this view of Akutagawa and, by focusing on the narrative and ideological connections which give coherence to his works between 1920 and 1927, I focus on those aspects of Akutagawa’s work which, far from being outwith the political domain, may be seen to be fiercely critical of the Taishō ideological settlement as it was taking shape. I argue that Akutagawa was a writer who was acutely aware of the tensions which existed within Taishō society, of the burgeoning state and the development of an increasingly national subjectivity. I argue that Akutagawa was keenly interested in those narratives being produced, disseminated and naturalised in the 1910s and 20s and in their power to conscript the newly formed reading public to an ever narrower range of behaviours. Moreover, I aim to reveal Akutagawa’s preoccupation with the complicity which existed between seemingly incongruous types of narrative form and the politics of subject formation. In particular we will explore Akutagawa’s collision of the Realist mode with the impulse to mythologise in order to reveal a powerful narrative strategy which was able not only to define subjectivities but was also the means by which hegemonic values were embedded and become unopposable. The study engages with four seminal texts: ‘Butōkai’ (‘The Ball’, 1920), ‘Momotarō’ (‘The Peach Boy, 1924), ‘Uma no ashi’ (‘Horselegs’, 1925) and ‘Seihō no hito’ (The Man from the West’, 1927) to explore the role of literature in the nation-building process.

title: In search of the Good Life in Contemporary China : Stories from ShenZhen
Creators: name: Kho, Tung-Yi
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: What makes a good life? And, specifically, what makes a good life in China today? The question is relevant because in the course of the past thirty-plus years, China sustained a historically unprecedented economic growth rate that averaged roughly 10% annually, lifting over 800 million of its population out of poverty. In line with these developments, urbanization proceeded apace throughout the country, precipitated by large-scale rural-urban migration. With an estimated 440 million rural-urban migrants in the 30 years since 1979, China’s urban population exceeded its rural population for the first time in 2011 and has only continued to increase since. Such radical economic and demographic transformation of what has historically been an agrarian civilisation has led to talk of a civilisation-switch that has widely been celebrated as a monumental success. But have these coeval meta-level processes of modernization, implied by economic progress, development, and urbanisation, yielded the good life? While asking about the good life has been the perennial quest of philosophy, this inquiry is based on a grounded empirical investigation. Essentially, my project has deployed the methods of anthropology to furnish an answer to what is a philosophical question. My study was based on ethnographic research conducted in Shenzhen, South China, over two extended stints totaling some twenty-four months. The city, which is in the Pearl River Delta region (zhujiangsanjiao 珠江三角), was the field-site of choice for my ethnography because it was the country’s first Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and also its most successful. My interlocutors were all rural-migrants who had left home for Shenzhen in search of the supposedly good life. Did they find it? My research sought to find out, in the process, shedding light on the nature of modernity and our prospects of attaining the good life within it.

title: The Role of State-Owned Enterprises in Chinese Cross-Border Mergers & Acquisitions : An Institutional Perspective
Creators: name: Bui, Kim
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) by Chinese enterprises have played a crucial role in China’s expansion in the global economy. Thanks to the impressive internationalization of Chinese enterprises, China has become a major player in the world’s cross-border M&A market. Although there has been a growing body of research investigating the motivations for Chinese cross-border M&A, most studies have overlooked the China-specific mechanism of cross-border M&As undertaken by its state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This thesis aims to fill this important gap. Building on a political economy analysis, descriptive data exploration, and in-depth elite interviews with an emphasis on the institutional perspective, this thesis contributes to existing research by providing a new framework for conceptualizing the role of the informal and formal institutions in shaping the specific features of Chinese SOEs’ cross-border M&As. This thesis reveals a number of important findings. First, the political economy analysis highlights the concept of national rejuvenation as the key element of China’s informal institution. This informal objective has been formally institutionalized and can be observed through national policies and regulation. Second, the descriptive data analysis shows evidence of the directive from the state on the regional and industrial distribution of cross-border M&As by Chinese SOEs. Third, the in-depth interviews with China M&A experts confirm the top-down command where the objective of national rejuvenation is to be pursued by SOEs and SOE managers through cross-border M&As. The informal objective of national rejuvenation has been institutionalized, and through formal control mechanisms the state ensures that the objective of national rejuvenation is collectively shared among the state, SOEs, and SOE managers. The policy implications derived from this research reveal, the state implemented systems to regulate cross-border M&A activities that SOEs and SOE managers are expected to closely follow can be simplified to increase efficiency. The number of bureaucratic formalities can be reduced, as well as streamlining the M&A process, and delegating greater autonomy to SOEs and SOE managers.
title: A Study of Ġarīb in the Qurʼān Over a Period of Ten Centuries, Fom 213 To 1182 AH
Creators: name: Alghamdi, Abdul-Wahab M.
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: The Qur’an was sent bi lisānin ‘arabiyin mubīnin (Q. 26:195) ‘in clear Arabic’ to explain to people matters of religion. Arabs from multiple tribes all over Arabia, and some non- Arabs accepted Islam. Some words of the Qur’an were found to be difficult to understand. These became known as ġarīb al-qur’an. Some Companions asked about the meanings of some such words and the numbers of words so described increased with time and the spread of Islam. Scholars began to isolate such words and explain their meanings. Thus, the genre of ġarīb al-Qur’an became established and continued to accumulate. The reasons suggested for the appearance of such words are various. Some seemed difficult because words have various meanings, depending on their context; some words had their origins in other languages, and others were used by some Arab tribes in localized meanings and seemed unfamiliar to readers of other tribes. In the present work consisting of six chapters, I have surveyed the most important works of ġarīb, investigated how the words of the Qur’an have been identified as ġarīb and the criteria for identifying them. Specifically, in this study, all words identified over ten centuries as being ġarīb were collected and divided into five different categories, namely, (i) words agreed upon as being ġarīb by six scholars, (ii) words agreed upon as being ġarīb by seven scholars, (iii) words agreed upon as being ġarīb by eight scholars, (iv) words agreed upon as being ġarīb by nine scholars and, (v) words agreed upon as being ġarīb by ten scholars. a sufficient sample from these categories was studied and analysed in more depth. In conclusion, identification was made of at least seven reasons for classification as ġarīb: rarity, homonymy, morphology, peculiar style, differences in usage, confusion with other words, different levels of expertise among the classifying scholars. It is hoped that this study gives a clear picture of the important field of ġarīb al-Qur’an.

description: This thesis studies the history, acquisition and exhibition history of the Amaravati Marbles, the Bimaran Reliquary, the Kanishka Reliquary and the Shalabhanjika Yakshi currently held by the British Museum. It additionally examines the interaction between the life of these objects from their point of entry into Western epistemological structures and the specific development of the academic discipline of Buddhist art. These objects have been selected for study because of their wealth of contributions to the development of Buddhist art, mainly as they have become focal points of debates on the aniconic and iconic in Buddhist Art History.

description: Extremely large-scale multiple-input-multiple-output (XL-MIMO) is an emerging transceiver technology for enabling next-generation communication systems, due to its potential for substantial enhancement in both the spectral efficiency and spatial resolution. However, the achievable performance limits of various promising XL-MIMO configurations have yet to be fully evaluated, compared, and discussed. In this paper, we develop an effective degrees of freedom (EDoF) performance analysis framework specifically tailored for near-field XL-MIMO systems. We explore five representative distinct XL-MIMO hardware designs, including uniform planar array (UPA)-based with infinitely thin dipoles, two-dimensional (2D) continuous aperture (CAP) plane-based, UPA-based with patch antennas, uniform linear array (ULA)-based, and one-dimensional (1D) CAP line segment-based XL-MIMO systems. Our analysis encompasses two near-field channel models: the scalar and dyadic Green's function-based channel models. More importantly, when applying the scalar Green's function-based channel, we derive EDoF expressions in the closed-form, characterizing the impacts of the physical size of the transceiver, the transmitting distance, and the carrier frequency. In our numerical results, we evaluate and compare the EDoF performance across all examined XL-MIMO designs, confirming the accuracy of our proposed closed-form expressions. Furthermore, we observe that with an increasing number of antennas, the EDoF performance for both UPA-based and ULA-based systems approaches that of 2D CAP plane and 1D CAP line segment-based systems, respectively. Moreover, we unveil that the EDoF performance for near-field XL-MIMO systems is predominantly determined by the array aperture size rather than the sheer number of antennas.

title: Public State, Private Corporation : A Joint History of the Ideas of the Public/Private Distinction, the State, and the Corporation
Creators: name: He, Dan
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Current liberal discourse relies upon a fundamentally categorical distinction between the public and the private in both the practice and critique of democratic government. A separation of the public/private modes of social organization is quintessential: the state and the corporation are supposed to inhabit separate arenas and act exclusively in the public or private interest. On this premise, broadly based on laissez-faire doctrine, the public/private distinction further attempts to keep governmental regulation of corporations’ activities to a minimum level in order to maximize national wealth and individual liberty. It is evident, however, that these ideas lost much of their practical significance over the course of the twentieth century, with the rise of the welfare entrepreneurial state, and later, the adoption of the neoliberal modes of governance that enacted particularly through privatization. A re-appraisal of the public/private distinction thus becomes necessary in order to bring it into correspondence with the increasing assimilation and cooperation between the state and the corporation in promoting and protecting the public interest. Having juxtaposed the intellectual history of the public/private distinction with those of the state and the corporation in a chronological narrative, this thesis seeks to demonstrate that the state and the corporation was not separated by reference to the public/private distinction until the late eighteenth century. A key marker, it is argued, is to be found in the metropolitan public discourse surrounding the transformation of the East India Company into a local sovereign power in India. A significant segment of public opinion of that time, mostly exemplified in Edmund Burke’s public speeches, held that the governance should be institutionally separated from the commerce to avoid the possible erosion of the public interest by the private interest. The public/private distinction thus turned into an artificial rubric for defining the separate roles and characteristics of the state and the corporation, which in turn served to obscure the complex social interlinkage and the inherent similarity between them. An alternative to this pseudo-distinction, as proposed in the end of this thesis, is to avail a nuanced version of individualism to reconceptualize the relationship between the state and the corporation.
title: Pursuing Taiwanese-ness: the contemporary music practices of Taitung indigenous people
Creators: name: Teoh, Yang-Ming
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2018

description: This research is an ethnography exploring the contemporary music practices of the indigenous people of Taitung, a southeastern county in Taiwan. Indigenous people make up a large proportion of the population of Taitung, and their music has in recent years been used in international and local events to potray a unique Taiwanese identity. I discuss how indigenous and other Taiwanese have collaborated to create this identity - the Taiwanese-ness - and how they have done so with tangled webs of concerns for authenticity, hybridisation and Otherness. I examine two opposite approaches in heredity and maintenance of the tradition: first, sticking to locality, and therefore passing down the tradition in a functional way; second, endorsing and appropriating transnational pop practices in order to garner commercial success. I argue that living experience - the familiarity to a musical culture which Mantle Hood (1982) considered the way that enabled ethnic groups to understand and evaluate their own musical traditions - is essential and irreplaceable. Hence, affiliation to a homeland, as depicted through notions of mountain and sea, becomes a key element in the self-identity of musicians as 'indigenous' (yuanzhumin in Mandarin, meaning 'original inhabitants'), and that the homeland, as the place of ancestors, allows indigenous groups to safeguard their traditions. However, indigenous Taiwanese are comfortable with and uphold a shared culture that was brought to the island by Han migrants, and this is evident in the influences of trans-cultural commercial and global Mandopop. Musicians tend to apply elements of their traditions such as indigenous languages, pentatonicism, ancient songs, specific rhythms and the incorporation of non-lexical vocables, wherever they can, using a bricolage approach. At the same time, musicians enrich the music culture, keeping tradition alive by adding to it in reciprocal ways elements from the outside, but also introducing the po­tential for cultural 'grey-out' as elements of traditional music are altered. Keywords: Taitung, indigenous people, music practices, mountain and sea, Taiwanese-ness.

Binary neutron star mergers as the source of the highest energy cosmic rays

description: We propose that ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are produced in binary neutron star mergers. This scenario can account for the heretofore inexplicable narrow rigidity range of UHECRs, because the jets of BNS mergers are generated by a gravitationally-driven dynamo and thus are nearly identical due to the narrow range of BNS masses. Observed UHECRs with energies well beyond 100 EeV can be explained as $r$-process nuclei, without invoking an exotic source class. Evidence for this mechanism, and its prediction of coincidences between neutrinos above 10 PeV and gravitational waves, are discussed.

title: Can Aid to North Korea Bring Peace on the Korean Peninsula? : A Study from the Perspective of the Peace Economy Theory
Creators: name: Lim, Hyun Jung
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis examines the peacemaking effects of aid on the Korean Peninsula (i.e. the more that aid is provided, the more peace is created). This thesis poses two main questions: i) what effect does South Korea’s aid to North Korea have on peace on the Korean Peninsula, and ii) if the peacemaking effects of aid is limited, why is it so? The relationship between aid and peace was chosen as a research subject because no previous studies exist that have tried to verify the relationship between aid to the North and the North Korean nuclear issue—which are two main issues of controversy. This study is significant in three aspects. First, this research confirmed the effectiveness of aid as a means to promote peace. This implies that aid may serve as an incentive for North Korea to move towards and choose cooperation. This further implies that South Korea’s engagement with North Korea contributes to the promotion of peace on the Korean Peninsula. Second, this research identified factors that restrict the influence (leverage) of aid. South Korea’s policy towards North Korea has been designed to expand the South’s leverage against the North Korean regime. However, that policy has sometimes failed to meet its purpose due to North Korea’s strategic reaction and political and economic characteristics. Third, this research confirmed the significance of inter-Korean interaction on the peacemaking effects of aid. South Korea’s aid to North Korea is a type of trade-off that works in both ways and generates benefits to both sides rather than unilateral dispensation. South Korea provides aid for the political purpose of inducing cooperation from North Korea (peace) while North Korea works with South Korea for the economic purpose of receiving aid.

title: Dunam After Dunam : The Challenges of the Agriculture Sector Across the Occupied Palestinian Territories
Creators: name: Hussain, Sharmeen (Lamya)
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: As a result of ongoing Israeli settler-colonial practices, Palestinian farming communities and arable lands remain vulnerable to forced annexation and displacement. Historically, Palestinians are a farming and rural society, whereby the agriculture sector has notably supported community livelihoods while adding substantially to the national local economy. Since, the inception of the state of Israel a steady decline in the Palestinian agriculture sector is witnessed due to the growing hegemonic control of lands and natural resources. More acutely, since 1967 Israel maintains military and settler control of the Jordan Valley, a key area that is both logistically and naturally rich with the potential to advance the Palestinian access to resources and sustainable development. This research investigates how Israeli occupation and settler-colonial practices have led to the de-development of the Palestinian agriculture sector. It examines in particular the impact of growing settlement-led agribusinesses that benefit from access to natural resources in order to maximize profits via globalized trade. In addition, this thesis aims to shed light on: (i) the role of the international assistance program in engaging with the occupied Palestinian territories in a manner which has actually reduced the resilience of rural communities; (ii) the limitations of the Palestinian Authority and related ministries in developing and building a viable agriculture sector; (iii) the rising influence of the Palestinian private sector which seeks to enhance cooperation with Israeli middlemen and partners in pursuit of long-term access and profit. In highlighting the aforementioned areas that are central to its purpose, this thesis focused in particular on the network of ‘herbs’ farmers—both Israeli settlement-based and Palestinian-run—in its pursuit of an overall understanding of the transitions, challenges and barriers facing the Palestinian agriculture sector.

description: While Large Language Models (LLMs) have found success in real-world applications, their underlying explanatory process is still poorly understood. This paper proposes IBE-Eval, a framework inspired by philosophical accounts on Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE) to advance the interpretation and evaluation of LLMs' explanations. IBE-Eval estimates the plausibility of natural language explanations through a combination of explicit logical and linguistic features including: consistency, parsimony, coherence, and uncertainty. Extensive experiments are conducted on Causal Question Answering (CQA), where \textit{IBE-Eval} is tasked to select the most plausible causal explanation amongst competing ones generated by LLMs (i.e., GPT 3.5 and Llama 2). The experiments reveal that IBE-Eval can successfully identify the best explanation with up to 77\% accuracy ($\approx 27\%$ above random), improving upon a GPT 3.5-as-a-Judge baseline ($\approx+17\%$) while being intrinsically more efficient and interpretable. Additional analyses suggest that, despite model-specific variances, LLM-generated explanations tend to conform to IBE criteria and that IBE-Eval is significantly correlated with human judgment, opening up opportunities for future development of automated explanation verification tools.

description: In photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) it is generally difficult to trace how and when the chirality of the molecule is imprinted onto the photoelectron. We present simulations of PECD in a simple model and employ chirality measures to establish a quantitative connection between the chirality of the potential, the electronic wave function's chirality, and the anisotropy of the photoelectron distribution. We show that these measures are suitable indicators for chirality, paving the way for tracking the chiral evolution from the nuclear scaffold to the final observable.

title: Excellence and inclusion in music education : working with Chagossian teenagers in an English secondary school
Creators: name: Allen, Patrick Richard
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis develops from my experiences as a state secondary school music teacher in England, and from my work between 2009 and 2016 with teenagers from the forcibly exiled Chagossian community. Using field notes, diaries, documentary evidence, interviews as well as my personal reflections, the central part of the thesis recounts the uncovering of the students’ musical talents in class and the remarkable effect of the many musical projects that then ensued on the Chagossian students, on other students and teachers at the school and on the wider community. It also describes the challenges the students encountered and their musical, educational and personal development. It attempts to identify the educational and musical practices which resulted in exceptional success for the Chagossians and many others involved with them in the projects. Drawing on a wide variety of primary and secondary sources, the first part of the thesis places the Chagossians in context by exploring their origins, culture and music as well as the exile of the community and their arrival in the U.K. The central part is a narrative account of the development of musical projects they were involved with at the school, examining in detail the musical, educational, personal and institutional outcomes and implications. The final section reflects on what can be learned from the seven years of intense musical and creative activity that took place at the school. It examines the practice and methodology of music education, the cultural responsiveness of curricula and examinations, institutional practices and pressures on schools, and the musical outcomes and the effect of the projects both on the young Chagossians themselves and on those who came into contact with them both at and beyond the school. The thesis seeks to show how an inclusive, yet disciplined and ambitious approach resulted in exceptional outcomes for a marginalised and disadvantaged group of students.
title: The Metamorphosis of Greek Cuisine : Sociability, precarity and foodways of crisis in middle class Athens
Creators: name: Papacharalampous, Nafsika
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis focuses on the metamorphosis of the Greek cuisine at times of crisis and the ‘exoneration of the Greek rural’ by the Athenian middle class. My research as a ‘native’ anthropologist took place in Athens in the mid-2010s, when the effects of the financial crisis had established significant behavioural and social changes that penetrated food procurement and sharing practices. I investigate the new social and market formations, focusing on upscale delis in Athens and the middle-class Athenians who own and shop at these spaces. I engage with the chefs and cooks who create a New Greek Cuisine in the fine dining restaurants of the city. My ethnography brings together different spaces (the village and the city), as well as different temporalities, and how these are imaginatively reproduced through food practices. In search of the threads that bring the rural past into the urban present, I unveil the interconnections between Athenians and their foods at times of crisis and the emergence of a moral economy that protects social identities. Memories of the rural past, and the powerful role of food as a trigger of memory is central to this process. The thesis argues that previously denigrated rural foods are transformed into luxury items of value and associations with Greek rurality are exonerated, as Athenians are renegotiating their identities at times of crisis. This research contributes ethnographically to unveiling the shifting notions of the rural and the urban, tradition and modernity, and how the preservation and invention of foodways are redefined and negotiated in the creation of Greek cuisine. It illustrates how national and class identities, as well as individual and collective memories, are renegotiated and redefined at times of crisis in Greece. Beyond Greece, by engaging with food and the senses (smell and taste) as tropes of resistance at times of crisis, this thesis contributes ethnographically and theoretically to anthropological debates on precarity, moral economy and the political role of commensality.
title: Pirates of the Academy : A Human Rights Analysis of Copyright Restrictions on the Right to Education
Creators: name: Al-Balushi, Riyadh
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2017

description: Copyright law no longer provides an effective balance between the need to protect the rights of authors on the one hand, and the need to ensure that society benefits from cultural works on the other. The failure to maintain this balance is problematic because copyright law has the potential to restrict the enjoyment of the right to education, which is a fundamental right recognised in numerous international human rights instruments. This thesis examines the extent to which copyright law restricts the ability of the State to realise the right to education as recognised in Article 13 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). This thesis undertakes its analysis by exploring copyright law’s internal balancing mechanisms to accommodate education, as well as the State’s duty for progressive realisation, the 4As Scheme, and the principles of minimum core obligations, nondiscrimination, and non-retrogression under the ICESCR. The thesis also explores the extent to which States may justify copyright restrictions on education on the basis that copyright protection may be considered a human right recognised in Article 15(1)(c) of the ICESCR. Even though this thesis argues that copyright law restrictions on the right to education may be seen as violations of State obligations under the ICESCR, it does not argue for abolishing copyright law completely, especially because copyright protection can be a useful tool for realising certain aspects of the ICESCR. Instead, the thesis recommends that States rely on the principles of flexibility and certainty when developing their copyright law to ensure that this law facilitates education instead of restricting it.
