title: Aspects of Information Structure in Kazakh : the Dynamic Syntax Approach
Creators: name: Christopher, Nadezda
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2022

description: The Kazakh language is an under-researched Turkic language spoken in the Central Asian state of Kazakhstan and some neighbouring countries. While the grammar of this language is fairly well described, its information structural characteristics have not been examined in detail in the literature to date. This thesis aims to start filling this research gap by providing detailed descriptions of: the relation between information structure and word order; topic markers; and a pragmatically significant particle. Original, contextualised language examples are used to reject previous limited and rigid understanding of the relation between information structure and word order in Kazakh. It is shown that the information structural configurations of a Kazakh sentence are far more diverse than had been assumed. This conclusion is not only a revelation in its own right, but can also serve as a foundation for further research on the information structure of Kazakh, and other under-researched Turkic languages. This thesis also provides the first detailed descriptions of the three Kazakh topic markers. Numerous examples of their uses are presented in order to demonstrate the differences in these markers’ distribution and meaning. Several grammaticalisation processes related to these topic markers are revealed; it is proposed that these processes are currently at different stages of progress. Pragmatically significant particle ğoj is examined in detail for the first time: its distribution and meaning are illustrated with contextualised examples from various sources. It is posited that there are two syntactically diverse variants of this item which do, however, share the same existential semantics. The theoretical framework of Dynamic Syntax is employed throughout the thesis to underpin the first formal analyses of the phenomena under discussion.

title: Neti, neti : the Search for the Ultimate Principle in the Vedic Upaniṣads
Creators: name: Burns, Graham Gordon
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores the teachings of the ancient Indian texts known as the Vedic Upaniṣads in relation to ultimate reality. Compiled into their quasi-canonical forms between approximately 700 BCE and the early years of the Common Era, the Vedic Upaniṣads were interpreted by a number of later Indian philosophical schools as promoting a single, consistent worldview with regard to the entity, power, or principle which creates, animates, supports and sustains all of existence (which I refer to in this thesis as the ‘ultimate principle’). However, those schools offer competing theories about what that worldview might be, what that ultimate principle might be called, and the nature of its relationship (if any) with the material world, on the one hand, and the divine, on the other. As has been widely acknowledged in more recent exegesis, the Vedic Upaniṣads in fact present a variety of teachings about this ultimate principle - in Signe Cohen’s words a ‘rich tapestry of complex and occasionally contradictory ideas’. The question which this presents, and which I address in this thesis, is whether, rather than either seeking an elusive and illusory consistency, or dismissing the teachings of the Vedic Upaniṣads as simply an inconsistent anthology, we can detect any patterns in the presentation of these complex and contradictory ideas. In this thesis, I will explore certain specific themes in the development of the Vedic Upaniṣads’ teachings about the ultimate principle, and will argue that, if we read the Vedic Upaniṣads closely with an eye to how teachings about the ultimate principle progress, both within individual Upaniṣads and by reading the Vedic Upaniṣads inter- textually, it is possible to identify certain important trends and directions of enquiry into the nature and identity of the ultimate principle. In many cases, these trends highlight the questions which the Vedic Upaniṣads ask about the ultimate principle more than the answers which they provide. In addition, I will suggest that, in places, the editorial processes which brought the Vedic Upaniṣads into their quasi-canonical forms may have been, at least in part, a deliberate attempt to highlight their strands of enquiry into the ultimate principle, so that, as a result, we can fairly say that, while the Vedic Upaniṣads undoubtedly do not present uniform dogma, they nevertheless show a degree of structure in their search for the ultimate principle.

title: Seed and Cloud as Metaphors of Liberation in Buddhist and Pātañjala Yoga : An Intertextual Study
Creators: name: O'Brien-Kop, Karen
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2022

description: Conventionally, the label ‘classical yoga’ has been aligned to, and sometimes conflated with, the text of Patañjali’s Yogasūtra, produced in the 4th-­‐5th century. Yet if we broaden the scope of inspection to a wider textual corpus from the same period, we can identify a richer and more complex discourse of classical yoga, which is also employed in Buddhist traditions and which is semantically entangled across religious boundaries. In particular, this study focuses on dialogic interaction between three contemporaneous texts via the use of shared metaphorical systems to explain theories of liberation. There are a number of close correspondences, hitherto unexplored, between the soteriology of the Pātañjalayogaśāstra and both the Sautrāntika positions in the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya and the earliest textual layers of the Yogācārabhūmiśāstra. I draw on conceptual metaphor theory to demonstrate how yoga, yogācāra, and Sautrāntika constructed their soteriology under the broad metaphorical banner of bhāvanā qua cultivation. Bhāvanā is a complex orientational metaphor that was adapted by these different religious traditions because it could encompass both ‘cessative’ and ‘aspirational’ aspects of yogic practice, as reflected in the spatially polarised metaphors of the seed in the earth and the cloud in the sky. There are also close overlaps in the ontologies of these three textual traditions. The dialogic relationship between Brahmanical and Buddhist yoga soteriology indicates a need to re‐assess which texts are included under the rubric of ‘classical yoga’ and to foreground the role of yogācāra and its śāstra in this category.

title: Unraveling humanitarian narratives : Syrian gender norms in contestation
Creators: name: Lokot, Michelle
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2022

description: The war in Syria has displaced millions, leading to many Syrians seeking refuge in countries like Jordan, where they access humanitarian assistance, including interventions designed to promote ‘gender equality and women’s empowerment’. Many international humanitarian agencies assert that Syrian refugees experience gendered changes during displacement. This includes increased early marriage and gender-based violence, transformed gender roles as women shoulder economic responsibilities, and altered mobility for women and girls. In these narratives, conclusions are often made about the role of forced migration in disrupting gender norms. Based on ethnographic research with Syrian women and men in Jordan, and interviews with humanitarian workers who work on gender issues, this thesis seeks to unravel dominant humanitarian narratives about gender norms and ‘change’. It contributes knowledge to the study of gender norms and power, focusing on (im)mobility, family relationships and resistance to gender norms. These contributions are situated within three periods: before displacement, during the conflict in Syria and during displacement in Jordan. The findings challenge assumptions about gendered (im)mobility and vulnerability, offer insights on how older women exercise power over younger women, and contribute to thinking on how Syrian women and men resist prevailing gender norms in sometimes unexpected ways. These findings suggest that the humanitarian agency fixation on ‘changes’ in gender norms during displacement hides complexity and can overstate the role of displacement as an intervening force. It builds on existing literature on gender and forced migration, highlighting the complexities in finding a singular narrative around ‘change’ and pointing to the importance of understanding intersecting power hierarchies both in the lives and experiences of Syrians, and in the humanitarian structures that serve displaced populations.

title: Late Development in the age of neoliberalism: The political economy of state-led development in Ethiopia and Vietnam
Creators: name: Tomkinson, Joanne Kathryn
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis considers the challenges of late development in the age of neoliberalism and the impact of global economic and political forces on catch-up efforts in Ethiopia and Vietnam. It identifies two dominant interpretations of this relationship, which map onto the divide between the mainstream and heterodox development literatures. It suggests that for all their differences, both approaches adopt too deterministic a reading of the relationship between national development and global conditions, and in-so-doing misdiagnose obstacles to late development. Instead the thesis advances that the impacts of global conditions on late development prospects are the context-specific outcome of interactions between a nation’s development strategy and shifts in global capitalism. This suggests that historically informed political economy analysis is needed to examine prospects for the emergence of forms of developmentalism in the current age. To explore such possibilities, the thesis examines the development trajectories of Ethiopia and Vietnam, two rapidly growing developing economies with state-led and manufacturing oriented development strategies. These two late developers have sought to power structural transformation by combining state ownership over the commanding heights of the economy with a strong emphasis on public investment, followed by the embrace of foreign capital to facilitate participation in global value chains. This represents an attempt to selectively appropriate elements of the global order to serve the domestic political and economic ends of their respective ruling parties. Their experiences provide a forceful reminder that forms of developmentalism endure under neoliberalism and expose the variegated nature of late development constraints (and opportunities).

title: Foreign Puppets, Christian Mothers or Revolutionary Martyrs? : The Multiple Identities of Missionary School Girls in East China, 1917-1952
Creators: name: Bond, Jennifer
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2018

description: My PhD thesis examines the experience of girls who attended missionary middle schools in East China 1917-1952. I look at four schools across three cities: In Shanghai, St. Mary’s founded by the American Episcopal Church in 1881 and McTyeire, an American Methodist school founded in 1892. In Ningbo and Hangzhou, I focus on two union schools for girls established by the North American Presbyterian and Baptist Missions; Riverside Academy established in Ningbo in 1923 and Hongdao, established in Hangzhou in 1912. Using pupils’ writings in their school magazines, alongside interviews with ex-pupils, missionary reports and newspaper sources, the thesis seeks to understand missionary school girls’ agency in shaping and influencing new forms of modernity emerging in early twentieth century China. How did they navigate their school environment and negotiate their identities as both Christian and Chinese within an increasingly nationalistic setting, characterised by anti-imperialist and anti-Christian movements in the 1920s? How did mission school pupils use a gendered Christian rhetoric to fashion their identities within debates about women’s roles in a newly emerging public sphere in the Republican era? What can the experience of missionary school girls tell us about the relationship between Christianity, Communism and the Women’s Movement in China? This research breaks new ground by examining the missionary enterprise from the point of view of pupils who attended missionary schools rather than from the missionary perspective. By placing the experience of pupils at the centre of enquiry, we can see how Chinese women were active agents in the creation of a transnational modernity in treaty port East China. I argue that the hybrid cultural environment at missionary schools unintentionally created a free space or ‘laboratory’ where girls could experiment with more fluid gender identities, which challenged traditional binaries and allowed them to forge new conceptions of Chinese womanhood.
title: Picture Postcard Bengaluru: The Visual and Material Past in India’s Silicon Valley
Creators: name: Stevenson, Emily Rose
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2018

description: This thesis analyses the social life of British Indian picture postcards of Bengaluru from their initial production in the early 20th century into the postcolonial present. The research is based upon a mixed methodological approach of participant observation, and archival and digital research conducted over the course of 15 months in Bengaluru. Whilst the current body of literature on colonial picture postcards has been conducted solely from a historical perspective, my research shows that their biographies continue into the present as they act as material mediators in postcolonial experiences of history, locality, heritage and urban renewal. Discussions of Bengaluru, both in popular and academic discourse, often focus on its rise into the ‘IT capital of India’. In doing so, the identities and histories of the city that stretch back beyond the 1990s liberalisation of the Indian economy are often obscured. Within this context, this thesis proposes that postcolonial Bengalureans reflexively engage with the ephemeral debris of colonialism as an accessible archive of historical documents as they contend the forces of rapid urban development that are experienced as de-historicising the city. Situated between visual and historical anthropology, the project focuses on the multiple engagements of picture postcards as they are brought into new relationships, forms and contexts in their journey through time and space. Ultimately, I propose that acts of collecting, remediating and displaying picture postcards of Bengaluru are key referents that help citizens understand the city’s transformations and, at times, become enmeshed in wider discourses of its future.
title: Envisioning a Democratic Future : Voice, Gender and Citizenship in Morocco post-Arab Spring
Creators: name: Schmoll, Katharina
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Building on conceptualisations such as voice and recognition, this research investigated the public inclusion of educated women from Morocco’s rising Islamic-oriented and urban middle classes from a media and communication perspective. At the intersection of Arab media and women’s scholarship, Arab women’s inclusion into the public has often been analysed within a pre-determined framing of self-empowerment and self-expression. This study used ethnographic research to examine what public participation and having a voice means to a group of Moroccan middle-class women affiliated with the ruling Islamic-oriented Party for Justice and Development (PJD) that is currently considered to be Morocco’s most democratic party. From a temporal perspective, the research centred on Morocco’s post-Arab Spring opening period, in which the PJD entered government for the first time. This opening period, which ended, one could argue, after a political stalemate and democratic setback following the 2016 national elections, saw heightened power struggles with Morocco’s deep state, the Makhzen, but also liberal feminists. I examined the complexities of what it meant to be in the public eye and the challenges the research participants faced with the party’s success. Concretely, based on nine-month fieldwork (2016/2017) between Rabat and Casablanca, and using narrative analysis as its main method, this research explored: a. the women’s daily lives in the public as well as their personal and sociopolitical aspirations and struggles, focusing on understandings of gender relations and family ideals, democracy, citizenship and development; b. the role of regimes of power (politics, media, patriarchy) as barriers to voice and recognition; c. the participants’ understandings of (mediated) voice and recognition, focusing on the ‘self’. This study argues that for the research participants, public participation and voice were widely framed in terms of democracy, citizenship and service for the country. The results suggest alternative perspectives on how media, women, and society in the MENA may be analysed and understood beyond empowerment and self-expression.
title: History of Disaster, Recovery, and Humanitarianism : The Japanese Red Cross Society in the Modern World, 1877-1945
Creators: name: Suzuki, Michiko
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis explores the wartime humanitarian relief activities of the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) personnel and their involvement in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement between 1877 and 1945. Most historiographies of the Red Cross have been dominated by a Western-centric narrative of humanitarianism, while they have marginalised the history of the Red Cross’ Islamic world co-institution the Red Crescent. Scholarship to date portrays the Red Cross as a Christian-based charity organisation, inseparable from its origins in mid-19th century European imperialism without sufficient scrutiny of the significant contributions of Red Cross organisations that co-emerged across the non-Western world. This thesis investigates a historical paradox that defined the JRCS of the interwar and wartime era. It argues that a significant minority of individuals working within the JRCS, a quasi-Imperial state institution, nevertheless sought to uphold the humanitarian mission of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Even amidst the inhumanity of total war, individual JRCS practitioners strived to perform their professional duty to care for the patient in front of them regardless of race, nationality or military status. This thesis also locates a robust oral history narrative of those individuals who chose to work for the Red Cross in the face of extreme risks, and examines the extent to which the Japanese notion of ‘humanitarianism (jindō: 人道 )’, literally meaning ‘the way of humanity’ in Japanese, influenced the evolution of the modern global humanitarian movement. It recasts significant institutional narratives of events surrounding the formation of the League of Red Cross Societies in 1919, the 15th International Conference of the Red Cross in Tokyo of 1934, the activities of the Manchukuo Red Cross Society, the personal sacrifices and professional labours of the Red Cross battlefield nurses, JRCS care for POWs and civilian internees, and JRCS emergency responses to the nuclear bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

title: The political economy of low carbon, climate resilient development in Bangladesh
Creators: name: Muzammil, Maliha
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This study presents a political economy analysis of Low Carbon, Climate Resilient Development (LCCRD) through the Solar Home System (SHS) and Solar Irrigation Pumps (SIP) programs in the energy and agriculture sectors and in doing so assesses their contribution to the broader development trajectory of Bangladesh. LCCRD involves implementing adaptation, mitigation and development simultaneously in order to benefit from ‘triple wins’. A qualitative case study approach enabled a detailed analysis of the institutional and financial mechanisms; benefits and trade-offs from the programs and studied the discourses and narratives related to LCCRD in Bangladesh. The programs delivered triple wins but the benefits from adaptation, mitigation and development were not derived equally. The SHS program contributed to building adaptive capacity, reducing vulnerability and advancing human development benefits at the local level. However, the program only contributed marginally to the renewable energy mix and the mitigation goals of Bangladesh. Energy access through SHS was not necessarily pro poor. Besides providing energy access for irrigation in off grid areas, the SIP program also contributed to adaptation, mitigation and a reduction in fossil fuel subsidies along with contributing to human development benefits to a large extent. Although there was a trickledown effect of the funds, the implementing organisations benefitted more from accessing climate finance than the farmer beneficiaries using the service. Previous research on expected ‘triple wins’ from the programs do not take into account how peripheral they are to the broader development trajectory of Bangladesh which is now focused on less clean forms of energy generation for economic growth. In contributing to the current ‘triple wins’ discourse in Bangladesh, this study provides a more realistic account regarding the prospects of LCCRD. However, the space for ‘triple wins’ could be enlarged if the programs are redesigned specifically to contribute to pro-poor adaptation, mitigation and development.
Mg$_{2}$Si and Ca$_{2}$Si semiconductors for photovoltaic applications: Calculations based on density-functional theory and the Bethe-Salpeter equation

description: We conduct a comprehensive assessment of the electronic and optical properties, as well as photovoltaic (PV) performance parameters for Mg$_{2}$Si and Ca$_{2}$Si using density-functional theory and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) based methods. The band-gap for Mg$_{2}$Si (Ca$_{2}$Si) is found to be in the range of 0.25-0.6 (0.57-0.96) eV when PBE, PBEsol and mBJ functionals are used. In the independent-particle approximation (IPA), the real and imaginary parts of dielectric function show maximum values of 50 (16.3) at 2.6 (1.0) eV and 61 (16.2) at $\sim$3.24 (3.4) eV, respectively. Within BSE, these respective values change to 59 (17) at 2.5 (0.86) eV and 65 (16.6) at 2.68 (3.1) eV. The excitonic effect is found to be crucial in understanding the experimental optical spectra of Mg$_{2}$Si. However, this effect is relatively weaker in Ca$_{2}$Si. Present study highlights the importance of different levels of theoretical approximations for obtaining the optical spectroscopy data of silicides with a high level of accuracy. Finally, we have evaluated PV efficiency by using spectroscopic limited maximum efficiency (SLME) calculation. On the top of radiative recombination, we have also incorporated non-radiative carrier recombination at a defect trap state via Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) mechanism to evaluate the efficiency. Among the studied defects, the interstitial Mg (Si) is identified as the most stable in Mg$_{2}$Si (Ca$_{2}$Si) and this provides SRH lifetime of 2 $μs$ (11.3 $ms$). The estimated maximum SLME using BSE absorption spectrum is 1.3 (31.2)\%, which decreases to 1.2 (28.5)\% due to SRH recombination. The present study suggests that Ca$_{2}$Si (Mg$_{2}$Si) is a potential candidate for single-junction (bottom cell in multi-junction) thin-film PV devices.

title: Reproducing and Challenging the Maternal Fantasy : Representations of Single Mothers in Japanese Television Drama, 2005-2014
Creators: name: Mithani, Forum
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2019

description: Single motherhood, an increasing phenomenon in Japan, nevertheless continues to be maligned for its association with poverty and deviation from the idealised middle-class, two-parent family based on the male breadwinner/female homemaker model. Theories in psychology and child development reinforced the idea that mothers should devote themselves to childrearing, particularly during the early years. The glorified image of the mother who lives and suffers for the sake of her child has been reproduced in popular culture, often based on the nostalgic memories of adult children (Yamamura 1983). The modern Japanese family model is founded on this “maternal fantasy” (Asai 1990) of a selfless, undesiring mother. Thus, working-class single mothers must not only contend with the practical considerations but also overcome the social and psychological implications of supporting the household and raising children single-handedly in a society that has embraced the idealised image of the middle-class fulltime mother. As such, the single mother seems an unlikely heroine of narratives of motherhood. However, she has often been co-opted by television drama to reproduce the maternal fantasy for a contemporary audience. Such representations should be viewed within the context of the significant social and demographic change Japan has witnessed in recent years. Falling marriage and birth rates have caused anxiety that women are losing their ‘maternal instinct’, thus threatening the institution of the family itself. By exploiting the hardship of single motherhood, creators of television drama, usually men, have revived the glorified image of the selfless, suffering mother. However, these representations also reveal the vulnerability of the fantasy they attempt to recreate. Meanwhile, narratives of career-oriented single mothers that transgress the boundaries of gender norms may hold the potential to challenge heterosexual stereotypes and expose the discrimination many women face in the workplace. However, it must be recognised that while representations of single motherhood in television drama can play a role in revealing the fallacy of the maternal fantasy and the pressure it places on women, the idealisation of these heroines, either as victims or conquerors of an oppressive, patriarchal system, risks reinforcing the maternal fantasy through its exclusion of men from the domestic sphere.
title: The Construction and Representation of Individual Artistry : Narratives of Diversity and Association
Creators: name: Agrimbau, Ignacio Hernán

description: The potential to express individual creativity through experience, and to create signification through narrative and self-awareness, is a human capacity. In this study, I am concerned with three key aspects of musical lives that instantiate the interface between action and representation: creating narratives of learning,assembling ideas about value and competence, and projecting meanings onto aesthetic practice. Drawing from fieldwork conducted between 2013 and 2016 in Dagara settlements in the Upper West Region of the Fourth Republic of Ghana, and in the city of Tehran, Islamic Republic of Iran, I represent the lives, views and music of Dagara xylophonists (gyilmwiεrε) and Iranian performers of santur (navāzāndehye santur), a hammered trapezoidal zither. I document how individuals reconstruct and resignify learning experiences, remapping them onto the past to invoke meaning. For Ghanaian xylophonists, this involved discussions about lineage, spiritual endowment and mentorship, but also attitudes towards social change, feelings of cultural loss and detachment. Iranian santurists discussed music-making within their families, social and moral status, and identification with pedagogic lineages and academic environments. Discourses about value and competence coupled to appraisals and representations of existing discourses about what was new, old, authentic, foreign, conservative or innovative. Individuals’ varied appraisals permeated aspects of repertoire, style and performance practice. Finally, when musicians discussed their music, they searched for unity and meaning, but also they positioned their creative involvement as a form of redressive action. To them, practice and reflection were experiential and discursive paths through with they could come to terms with the breaches of their social engagement. I examined these acts of signification in relation to the intersubjective dynamics of narrative production and collection. While my depictions of musicians’ aesthetic discourses illustrate personal viewpoints, I re-examine them in terms of narratives of diversity and association which accommodate the dialectic between similarity and difference that underpins the human capacity for individuality.
title: Social entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia : social entrepreneurs’ perception and social capital

description: The purpose of this thesis is to extend the understanding of social entrepreneurs’ perceptions of the institutional environment, and their behaviour when they try to adapt to a context where social entrepreneurship is non-institutionalised. Theoretically, the thesis draws on institutional and cognitive perspectives to develop a conceptual framework in order to answer the research questions. The thesis uses primary data from interviews and secondary documents collected by the researcher. Data collection was conducted in two rounds between 2014 and 2016 in Saudi Arabia. The empirical findings are divided into three main parts. The first part explores the influences of individual factors (human capital and psychological capital) and institutional factors (religion- Islam) on social entrepreneurs’ perceptions. The findings explained how social entrepreneurs rely on these factors to build internal and external expectations. The second part investigates social entrepreneurs’ perception regarding the regulative, cognitive and normative institutional environment dimensions. The findings show that Saudi social entrepreneurs perceive their institutional environment to be unfavourable towards social entrepreneurship. The third part looks at their behaviour in terms of their collaboration with their social ties to adapt to the institutional environment. The findings identified the roles of other actors in the field (government, intermediaries, local foundations, global non-profits, private sector). These further emphasise the importance of the social entrepreneurs’ social capital in a noninstitutionalised context such as Saudi Arabia. The findings of this thesis can be valuable not only for researchers but also for policymakers and practitioners working to improve the social entrepreneurial institutional environment in similar countries.
title: Authoritarian Regime Durability : An Analysis of Cambodia’s Coercion-Dominant Winning Coalition

description: In one guise or another, the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) has dominated Cambodia for almost half a century, much longer than any other modern Cambodian political organization and despite UN intervention, the introduction of electoral democracy and massive changes in Cambodia’s political economy. Since the mid 2000s, the prevailing scholarship emphasised clientelism and party performance legitimacy-based explanations to explain Cambodia’s puzzling regime durability. A closely related body of analysis is steeped in anachronistic culturalist assumptions about political behaviour. These accounts saw no endpoint to the continued hegemony of the CPP through the ballot box in competitive but authoritarian elections. However, these arguments do not adequately explain the resurgence of popular opposition from 2012 and the close-run election in 2013. They also did not predict the revanchist authoritarian moves by the government to maintain power. Since 2013 sustained highand low-intensity coercion has successfully suppressed the popular challenge, auguring a return to one party rule. This empirical challenge is addressed in this thesis, which refocuses attention to the centrality of coercion for regime durability. It traces the origins of Cambodia’s coercion-dominant winning coalition from repressive single party rule in the 1980s, to show how regime elites embedded in the state and its security forces from this period were joined by economic elites dependent on them. Competitive elections in the 2000s were supposed to stamp legitimacy on the coalition’s dominance of the state and the economic benefits it extracted by dominating it. The majority of Cambodians have been politically marginalized and excluded from reaping the benefits of the country’s economic transformation. When elections appeared to threaten rather than enhance the winning coalition’s dominance they were disregarded, in favour of system of rule that exposed pre-existing asymmetries of power and wealth that privilege repression over reform, coercion over redistribution, and elite cohesion over fragmentation.
title: The Burmese Military and the Press in U Nu's Burma

description: Most scholarship on Burmese military studies only discusses the history of the Burma Armed Forces (Tatmadaw) in institutional terms. Its rise to power is usually assumed to be its own handiwork, as an isolated organization, this effort not correlating with civilian activity. The Burmese military’s turn to the “Burmese Way to Socialism” ideology in 1962 is also accepted as an afterthought, to legitimate its effort to take power in the 1960s. In actuality, the Burmese military leadership from the beginning in the 1940s was always involved with literati and these literati and the military men formed part of the same intellectual and political networks stretching back to the 1930s. This thesis challenges the idea of the ‘unpolitical Tatmadaw.’ This thesis is a bifocal study of Cold War culture in Burma and the intellectual history of post-war Burma politics before the Ne Win era (1962-1988). First, it identifies the early associations of these political, military, and intellectual elites in districts and urban educational, political and military training grounds since the 1930s and how they ended up after the 1962 coup. Second, it examines factionalized politics rooted in the Burmese political mindset and how it impacted the thinking of the ruling elites since the last years of the colonial era to explain the development of long running Army rule in Burma. In doing so, this thesis highlights the importance of intellectuals in the state building effort in post-WWII Burma. This thesis argues that far from opposing the military, intellectuals were partly responsible for the military’s rise to political power in Burma. Ultimately, the military takeover in 1962 is better understood as partly the result of the activities of the civilianmilitary networks than solely in institutional terms internal to the military.

title: Korean art and humor : tracing the development of terms and identity
Creators: name: Warch, Karin Joy
Publisher: name: School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London
Year: 2022

description: This thesis asks when humor was first used to describe or define Korean art and considers examples to the contrary and the context in which they arise. It attempts to trace the notion of humor as a continuous rhetoric in Korean art scholarship and perception. In order to prove the pervasiveness of humor within the history of Korean material culture and its promoted perceptions and receptions on the global stage, this thesis also examines key terminology, and the origins, application connotative development of humor within key historical, social and political Korean contexts. The role of Japan and early Korean scholars, both native and international is considered with regard to the legacies inherited by the pioneers of Korean art scholarship and characterization. Also considered is the restless desire of Korea to define its national identity, and how political motives and diplomacy are met through the collaboration and international organization of art and culture exhibitions. Specific historical events examined include the late 19th-early 20th century, the Colonial Period, and the postwar years. Key events discussed include the first international exhibitions of Korean art, the 1988 Olympics, and the current wave of “K-pop” on the global stage. The topic of humor and its application to the above-mentioned periods and events in Korea’s history is traced along with the development of its meaning and relationship to Korea’s art and culture.
