title: Formal and semantic properties of the Gujjolaay Eegimaa (a.k.a. Banjal) nominal classification system.
Creators: name: Sagna, Serge
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: Gujjolaay Eegimaa (G.E.), an Atlantic language of the Niger-Congo phylum spoken in the Basse-Casamance area in Senegal, exhibits a system of nominal classification known as a "gender/ noun class system". In this type of nominal classification system which is prevalent in Niger-Congo languages, there is controversy as to whether the obligatory classification of all nouns into a finite number of classes has semantic motivations. In addition to the disputed issue of the semantic basis of the nominal classification, the formal criteria for assigning nouns into classes are also disputed in Joola languages and in G.E. In this PhD thesis, I propose an investigation of the formal and semantic properties of the nominal classification system of Gujjolaay Eegimaa (G.E). Based on cross-linguistic and language-specific research, I propose formal criteria whose application led to the discovery of fifteen noun classes in G.E. Here, I argue that the G.E. noun class system has semantic motivations. I show that some nouns in this language may be classified or categorized on the basis of shared properties as stipulated in the classical theory of categorization. However, most of the classification of the G.E. nouns is based on prototypicality and extension of such prototypes by family resemblance, chaining process, metaphor and metonymy, as argued in the prototype theory from cognitive semantics. The parameters of categorization that fruitfully account for the semantic basis of the G.E. nominal classification system are both universal and cultural-specific. Primary data constitutes the material used in this research and include lexical (including loanwords), textual as well as experimental data using picture stimuli. The collected data comprise different types of communicative events recorded in audio and video formats and also in written format through participant observation.
title: A theoretical study of Zhang Ailings short story collection Chuanqi.
Creators: name: Lin, Wei Hsin
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis applies three literary theories as approaches to the study of Chuanqi, the short story collection of the modem Chinese writer Zhang Ailing. A feminist reading of Chuanqi demonstrates that the social roles of women are actually the projections of men's desires. Women, deprived of the right to define themselves, can only struggle to live up to men's expectations which, however, twist their mentality. A Lacanian study of Chuanqi points out how characters keep transforming their desires into fantasies which, once condensed into signifiers, will be imposed upon other people, the embodiments of the signifieds. However, the characters' desires are never satisfied since people always fail to act in accordance with the signifiers tagged to them. The symbolic disjunction brings to light the irrevocable process where desires turn into disillusions. Bakhtin's theory illustrates that the discourses of characters are the manifestations of their ideologies, whereas the encounters between different ideologies are doomed to end in conflicts. In Chuanqi, the collisions between characters due to their incompatible views of life highlight the arguments of Bakhtin. The inharmonious relationships between characters also account for the main point of Zhang's essay, "The Religion of the Chinese," in which she contends that the secularization of Chinese people results from their emphasis on the maneuvering of relationships. Zhang's overview of Chinese religion indicates her obsession with China. Zhang is engaged in a decadent mentality that prompts her to indulge in the decay of Chinese civilization. Decadence brings forth the sense of desolation which haunts all the stories in Chuanaqi as we see how charactrs unable to detach themselves from civilization, are besiegied with desolation because their desires are left unfulfilled within the restrictoins of civilizied society.
title: Jerusalem in the First World War: Transition from Ottoman to British rule (1914-1920).
Creators: name: Mazza, Roberto
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: This thesis discusses the history of Jerusalem from 1912 to 1920, with a particular focus on the period of the First World War and the British military administration of the city up to July 1920. It examines the dynamics of the transition from Ottoman to British rule and compares the two administrative structures, as well as changes which affected the foreign population of the city and its religious communities. This thesis is organised in six chapters and evolves around three main themes. The first theme discussed in Chapter One addresses the complex issue of periodisation. The re-interpretation of the transitional period from Ottoman to British rule is discussed through the historiographical approach known as microhistory, in order to highlight the methodological underpinnings of this study. The second theme considers these two periods from the perspective of continuity and change. As far as change is concerned, this thesis underlines the changes which affected the political sphere; namely, the political identities of local communities that followed the end of the war in 1917 and the establishment of the British Military administration in Jerusalem. The third theme investigated is the relationship between the city and its foreign population, focussing on the foreign impact upon the political and social milieu of Jerusalem. Chapter Two discusses the late Ottoman administration of Jerusalem, providing a thorough analysis of the demographic structure in the transitional period. Chapter Three examines in detail the phases of the transition from the Ottomans to the British as a consequence of the military operations in Palestine. Chapter Four looks at the presence and functioning of the Christian religious institutions and their reactions to the British occupation. Chapter Five assesses the foreign presence in the city, with particular focus to some unexplored diplomatic sources. Chapter Six examines the functioning of the British Military administration, with particular focus on the role of the military governor Ronald Storrs.
title: Subject and object pronominal agreement in the southern Bantu languages: From a dynamic syntax perspective.
Creators: name: McCormack, Anna
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: One of the most distinguishing aspects of the Bantu languages is the use of pronominal agreement markers. This thesis examines the nature of these agreement markers, focussing primarily the object marker, with Setswana being the primary language used for illustration due to the unusual feature of it allowing multiple object marker constructions. This thesis is comprised of seven chapters. The first chapter is the introduction and lays out the rest of the thesis with an explanation of what will be achieved in each chapter. The second chapter is an introduction to the Bantu languages and is primarily concerned with their structure, though there is also a discussion on the languages and the speakers themselves. The third chapter is an introduction to Setswana, the language primarily used in the thesis for illustration and examples. Setswana is a tone language and so this chapter includes a discussion on tone in the language, and in particular there is a section illustrating the grammatical effects of tone using the conjunctive/disjunctive distinction as identified by Creissels, 1996.1 The fourth chapter looks specifically at agreement in the Bantu languages, focussing on object marker agreement. It includes a discussion on the noun class system and then a comparison of two seminal works on the subject and object agreement markers in Bantu: Bresnan & Mchombo, 1987 and Demuth & Johnson, 1989.2 The fifth chapter is an introduction to Dynamic Syntax, the theory within which pronominal agreement is analysed in this thesis. The sixth chapter is the analysis of multiple object marker constructions in Setswana using the tools as provided by DS. The analysis involves invoking a notion of pragmatic inference combined with Local Adjunction. The seventh and final chapter is the conclusion which summarises the thesis and suggests possible avenues for further study or investigation.
title: Temporal reference in Lakandon Maya: Speaker and event perspectives.
Creators: name: Bergqvist, Jan Henrik Goran
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: The investigation analyses the grammatical and semantic properties of a number of commonly occurring time words in Lakandon Maya, the least described of the four existing Yukatekan languages spoken in southern Mexico and in parts of Guatemala and Belize. Lakandon Maya has around 800 speakers who live in one of two settlements in the southeastern lowlands of Chiapas, Mexico. The language materials that the analysis rests on were collected by the author in the field as part of a documentation effort supported and funded by the Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) at SOAS, University of London. In Lakandon Maya, deictic time words such as 7uhch ('before', 'long ago') and ka7chik ('before', 'previously') have pragmatically dependent features of meaning that relate to the indexical ground rather than the before-after relations relevant to time reference proper. The salient meaning in the two forms can best be described in terms of knowledge asymmetries between the speech participants. However, such modal-like semantics do not exclude the forms from being considered as operators of time reference since they are only used in specific temporal contexts. The results of the investigation point to a shift in meaning in the forms that cannot be anticipated from the available literature on other Yukatekan languages. There, cognates of the investigated forms have been described solely as temporal operators with simultaneous, anterior, and posterior meaning. The investigation argues for a separation between time words that uses the speech situation as the sole point of reference and time words that denote a relation between two events. This separation is defined in terms of speaker-dependent and event-dependent time reference. These concepts are analogous to absolute and relative time reference but should be considered as separate due to the pragmatic motivations that underlie the function and use of the forms.

title: Exploring the emergence of a new aid regime: Selectivity, knowledge and the World Bank.
Creators: name: van Waeyenberge, Elisa
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2007

description: This thesis focuses on the redefinition of conditionality away from finance for the promise of policy reform to disbursement of funds conditional on what has already been achieved, 'selectivity'. This has dovetailed with a self-assigned knowledge role for the donor community, especially the World Bank. These shifts are set in the political, economic and financial realities bearing upon aid in general, and around the World Bank in particular, and against the backdrop of a projected move away from the Washington Consensus towards a more 'holistic' approach to development associated with the post-Washington Consensus and the Comprehensive Development Framework. The study closely examines how aid, development and knowledge are understood in the economic propositions drawn upon to support the new aid paradigm. The implications for the realities of development - particularly in those countries that remain dependent on aid for their access to external finance - are explored. Special attention is given to the World Bank's assessment tool at the core of its aid allocation mechanism, the Country Policy and Institutional Assessment (CPIA), and how this sits within the evolving understanding of development projected by the World Bank. This reveals the persistence of the Washington Consensus agenda at the core of World Bank practices, often at variance with its rhetoric. Recent shifts in the CPIA indicate how these imperatives have become more entrenched and less visible in World Bank practices, veiling the contradictions resulting from the conjunction of its discursive shifts and the persistence of a set of economic and financial imperatives. Through both CPIA-steered selectivity and the exercise of the World Bank's knowledge role, a much tighter, yet less visible web of control has been spun over policymaking in low income countries despite the oft-reiterated commitment to 'ownership' and 'partnership' principles.
title: A critical theory of Eurocentrism.
Creators: name: Hostettler, Nicholas D.
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: Conventional accounts of Eurocentrism tend not to recognise their own Eurocentricity. Critical theory mitigates this lack of historical reflexivity by disclosing the deep structures of Eurocentrism in the modern tradition of political and social theory and in the forms of modern social relations and social formation. 'Eurocentrism' tends to express negative judgements about the world and its representation from the perspective of civil sociality and its sense of commutative justice, and to point to distorted distributions of modem goods. That perspective is treated here as the ideologeme which provides the conceptual framework of the Eurocentric, 'Modem Imaginary'. This ideologeme it establishes the forms of civil sociality as transhistorical, universals. It also operates as an empirico-transcendent doublet, generating the tradition's contradictory and antinomial categorical structure. The Eurocentric nature of this contradictory structure is disclosed in terms of the critical realist conception of anthropic irrealism. A similar work of categorical transformation discloses the Eurocentric forms of the modem world system. Concretely, Eurocentrism emerges through the competitive universalisation of European (and neo-European) states; their tendencies towards the institution of transnational hegemony; and projects for the Europeanisation and/or functional subordination of the non-European. In terms of abstract social relations, Eurocentric universalisation tends to the creation of global social totalities mediated by the really abstract relations of civil society. A general account of the contradictions between the abstract and concrete dimensions of Europic social formation is provided with an interpretation of Marx's Capital in terms of real irrealism. Also, the epistemic and sociological critiques of Eurocentrism are drawn together as internally related dimensions of the Europic Problematic: the combined and uneven dialectical universalisation of the categories and forms of civil sociality. The implications for critical theory, meanwhile, are that it comes to be understood as critical-theoretical anti-Eurocentrism in contrast to the theoretical-Eurocentrism of traditional theory.

description: FUNCIIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF "DIAMOND-SHAPED SENSIllA" ON MALES OF UNASPIS EUONYMI (COMSTOCK) (COCCOIDEA: DIASPIDIDAE)

On rhe basis of exrernal anaromy and ultrastrucrure, it is shown that "diamond-shaped sensilla" (sensu GHAURI, 1962) are a series of five campaniform sensilla. Behavioural observations led to hypothesize rhat laterally located sensilla are srimulated during walking, when the legs move. Furthermore, rhe ventrally located sensillum monirors curicular strains due ro the conrraction of the elevator trochanteris muscle.

I "Diamond-shaped senssilla" sono una serie di cinque sensilli campaniformi ellittici. La loro funzione è, molto verosimilmlente quella di percepire gli stress cuticolari dovuti alle reazioni vincolati del substrato (i laterali) e gli stress cuticolari dovuti alla contrazione del muscolo elevatore del trocamere (il ventrale).

title: (The production of) Who is a Refugee?
Creators: name: Novak, Paolo
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 2008

description: The question "who is a refugee?"---the key research question of this thesis---is ambiguous since it conflates distinct analytical perspectives. It may be answered in reference to subjective beliefs or claims (he is/I am a refugee), prescriptively (who should be considered a refugee, universally or in specific contexts), on the basis of existing legal apparatuses (who has been recognised as a refugee according to international, regional or domestic law) or of alternative conceptualisations of world order, migration and solidarity (e.g. according to religious beliefs, vis-a-vis tribal solidarity, as defined in the mission and discourse of non-state-based humanitarian organisations), etc. Each of these perspectives is premised on different ontological orders, and conceptualises the migrant as a member of different types of social formation. The thesis attempts to answer the question "who is a refugee?" in the context of Afghan migration to Pakistan. First, it postulates the research question in methodological terms, setting in conversation key bibliographic references and a series of context-based issues and perspectives. Second, it develops a framework for the study of refugee protection and assistance that draws upon and expands governmentality approaches for the study of regimes. The framework highlights, and is concerned with, the overlap of a variety of such regimes simultaneously exercising claims over the same group of people. Third, its core chapters put to the test such framework, by studying three constitutive elements of the modem refugee regime: borders, defining its territoriality; legal status, defining the object of protection and assistance interventions; Afghan NGOs, as an example of the intergovernmental regimentation of such activities. As a central contribution, the thesis offers a coeval understanding of the term "refugee". It is argued that, in order to define who is a refugee, it is necessary to unpack: a) the simultaneity of processes co-determining who is a refugee, in a particular time and place; b) the meaningful simultaneity of spatially separated events, which have repercussions on such processes; c) their contemporaneity with other processes taking place in the historical moment under study. A coeval methodology for the study of refugee migration, protection and assistance suggests a radically expanded context of analysis, one that collapses distinctions between scales (e.g. the "global" and the "local"), societies and systems of authority (e.g. "modern" and "traditional"), or between structural and subjective dimensions of power. Such methodology conceptualises "the refugee" as a dynamic and undetermined process of social production, performed by a variety of heterogeneous agents: the production of objects to be governed following exclusionary logics, and their social re-production, which is necessarily mediated, in a contingent and dynamic fashion.

Functional morphology of the mouthpart sensilla in females of Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans (Acari: Varroidae)
Creators: name: Nuzzaci, Giorgio
name: De Lillo, Enrico

Publisher: name: Entomologica
Year: 2016

description: The mouthparts of the Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans adult female (Acari: Varroidae) bave been investigated by means of light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy revealing specialised sensory receptors on the chelicerae, corniculi and lateral lips. These receptors are described and a functional interpretation on the basis of their ultrastructure is given.

Each chelicera bears two uniporous sensilla on each tip of the digitus mobilis (one on the darsal part and the other on the ventral one), a dorsal seta and an antiaxial lyrifissure both located on the distai part of each middle artide. The uniporous sensilla could act as a contact chemoreceptor, the dorsal seta as a mechanoreceptor and the lyrifissure as a mechanosensitive proprioreceptor.

Each corniculus tip bears a supposed uniporous sensillum that could be contact chemoreceptors.

Each lateral lip bears a short cuticular process set on the adorai wall at a slightly distai level with respect to the base of the labrum. Each process is provided with an apical pore. lt could be a contact chemoreceptor.

MORFOLOGIA FUNZIONALE DEI SENSILLI DELLE PARTI BOCCALI IN FEMMINE ADULTE DI VARROA ]ACOBSONI 0UDEMANS (ACARI: VARROIDAE)

Lo studio delle parti boccali delle femmine adulte di Varroa jacobsoni Oudemans (Acari: Varroidae) mediante il microscopio luce, il microscopio elettronico a scansione e quello a trasmissione ha permesso di rivelare la presenza di strutture sensoriali specializzate situate sui cheliceri, sui corniculi e sulle labbra laterali. Di questi sensilli viene data una descrizione e vengono formulate ipotesi funzionali sulla base delle caratteristiche ultrastrutturali. Tali ipotesi si basano sulle analogie con i sensilli già descritti e di funzione nota in Insetti e Acari.

Ogni chelicero è provvisto di due sensilli unipori in corrispondenza dell'apice del digitus mobilis, di una setola dorsale e una lirifissura situati sulla parte distale del secondo articolo cheli cerale. Si ritiene che i due sensilli del digitus mobilis possano agire da chemiorecettori di contatto, la setola dorsale da meccanorecettore e la lirifissura da propriorecettore.

In base alle caratteristiche ultrastrutturali, il sensillo situato all'apice dei corniculi può essere ritenuto di tipo uniporo e come tale potrebbe essere un chemiorecettore di contatto.

Ogni labbro laterale è provvisto di un corto processo cuticulare situato sulle pareti interne in posizione poco distale rispetto alla base del labrum. Questo processo è dotato di un poro apicale e potrebbe agire da chemiorecettore di contatto.

Year: 2016

description: The cabbage seed weevil (Ceutorhynchus assimilis Payk.) is a serious pest of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) in Europe. Previous EAGs and behavioural investigations suggest an essential role of the antennal olfaction and taste in the chemical ecology of the weevil, but morpho- functional knowledge of its antennal sensilla is still lacking.To fill the gap, an anatomo-ultrastructural study of C assimilis antennal chemosensilla has been carried out and presented here. The sensilla in question have been found on the antennal club (9th + 10th + 11th antennomeres) only. Three types of chemosensilla have been identified and illustrateci: (i) sensilla chaetica (CH), the most prominent, arranged in three whorls, ultrastructurally gustative: (ii) peg-like sensilla (P), the most numerous but difficult to detect, ultrastructurally olfactive; (iii) hair-like (H) or sickle shaped sensilla, moderately numerous, ultrastructurally olfactive. The behavioural meaning of the men- tioned sensilla is discussed, and concluding suggestions are given to a fuller understanding of electrophysiological studies.

MORFOLOGIA FUNZIONALE DEI CHEMIOSENSILLI ANTENNALI DI CEUTORHYNCHUS ASSIMILIS PAYK. (COLEOPTERA: CURCULIONIDAE)

Il punteruolo delle silique del colza (Ceutorhynchus assimilis Payk.) è un fitofago seriamente dannoso alla oleaginosa in tutta Europa. Studi preliminari comportamentali ed elettrofisiologici hanno messo in evidenza un ruolo essenziale dell'olfatto e del gusto antennali nella ecologia chimica dell'insetto. Una base morfo-funzionale, indispensabile allo sviluppo di detti studi e tuttora mancante, viene qui fornita mediante ricerche anotomo-ultrastrutturistiche sui sensilli implicati nel ruolo in questione.

Tali sensilli, presenti esclusivamente sulla clava antennale (antennomeri 9°+10°+11°), risultano essere di 3 tipi: l) "sensilla chaetica" (CH), i più vistosi, sistemati in tre verticilli, ultrastruttural- mente gustativi; 2) sensilli "peg-like" (P; esternamente a forma di piolo), i più numerosi ma difficili da individuare tra la folta peluria di rivestimento, ultrastrutturalmente olfattivi; 3) sensilli "hair- like", distalmente falciformi, moderatamente numerosi, ultrastrutturalmente pure olfattivi.

Viene discusso il significato etologico dei sensilli menzionati e vengono fatte considerazioni conclusive utili, in particolare, ad ottimizzare la comprensione di ulteriori studi elettrofisiologici.

description: This thesis explores women and theatre for development in Swaziland. It focuses on how theatre for development is used as a tool in the development of women. Firstly, I examine the key concepts used throughout the thesis and I pay special attention to Theatre for Development. In the second chapter, I give an account of the country's history and pay special attention to the social status of women. In chapter 3, I examine the various forms of performance found in Swaziland and how they impact on the development of Swazi women. In the fourth chapter, I consider the evolution of literary practice in Swaziland and discuss two play-texts in English by H.I.E Dhlomo, a key literary figure and pioneer playwright of modem black drama in South Africa. I explore A Witch in My Heart by Hilda Kuper, a white anthropologist who lived in Swaziland in the mid twentieth century, and lastly. The Paper Bride by Zodwa Motsa, a contemporary Swazi writer. Next, in chapter 5, 1 investigate the first phase of Theatre for Development in Swaziland where non-governmental organizations, the Swazi Government and independent individuals worked together using Theatre for Development in Swazi communities. I consider first the workshops initiated by the youth. In chapter 6, I give an account of workshops involving whole communities and the kudliwa inhloko ebandla, a workshop that involved men only. In all these workshops 1 examine how they impacted on the development of women. I then conclude with a discussion of the findings of the study and their implications for the development of women.
title: Hikayat Indraputra : A Malay romance.
Creators: name: Mulyadi, Sri Wulan Rujiati
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1980

description: This thesis is a study of the Hikayat Indraputra, a Malay romance which could be classified as a cerita pelipur lara. There are thirty extant manuscripts, preserved in Berlin, Brussels, Cambridge, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Leiden, London, Paris, and Sri Lanka. This thesis is organized in four parts. The first part contains a discussion of all the manuscripts of the hikayat Indvaputra, and traces the efforts to establish the age of the manuscripts. Special attention is given to the undated manuscripts. MS I (Leiden) is chosen as the reference manuscript; a summary of it is given. It is dated 29 Rajab A.H. 1111 [20 January A.D. 1700], it comprises a complete version of the story, it is neatly written, and it is the second oldest extant manuscript. Although MS F (Jakarta), a XVIIth century manuscript of which the precise date is not known, is older, it cannot be utilised as the reference manuscript, since it is defective. The second part traces references to the Hikayat Indraputra given in the Sirat al-Mustakim, the Taj as-Salatin, and the Bustan as-Salatin, This story is found in the Indonesian regional literatures, i.e. in Achehnese, Buginese, and Macassarese. Outside the Malay world, the Hikayat Indraputra is also found in Cham and Philippine literature. There is consideration of its motifs and the role of helping powers in the Hikayat Indraputra, the extant of Islamic influence, and the evidence for the existence of a shorter version of our story is examined. The third part deals with the spelling of MS I and the editing of the text; it includes the transliteration of MS I. The fourth part consists of appendices including quotations of texts concerning the Hikayat Indraputra as found in manuscripts of the Sirat al-Mustakim and the Bustan as-Salatin other than those already quoted in the second part.

title: The social organisation of a Swaminarayan sect in Britain.

description: This dissertation presents an ethnographic and anthropological study of Shree Swaminarayan Siddhanta Sajivan Mandal, a Hindu sect among the Leva Kanbi Patels of Cutch who have recently settled in Britain, Defined in the context of colonial migration and the settlement of sect members both in East Africa and Britain, the study focuses on the sect's ideology of salvation as it is conceptualised in the polar opposites of moksha and man. Moksha is a state of salvation and man a contrary state of assertive individual interest. The connection moksha and man has to the social organisation of the sect is explained by interrelated spheres of ritual and authority. Members of the sect follow a sequence of temple- based institutional rituals which induce the purity essential for moksha. This purity must be complimented with devotional compliance to the authority of the sect leader and those who speak for him. Whenever members fail to comply, the leaders interpret this as defiance expressing man. The antithetical relationship between moksha and man is thus related to the contrasting patterns of compliance and efiance. The study also explains the rise of Shree Swaminarayan Siddhanta Sajivan Mandal as an independent sect in the Swaminarayan movement in Gujarat and the effects of segmentary division between primary and secondary Swaminarayan sects on the caste of Leva Kanbi Patels. As this sect based cleavage in the caste has acquired a nev/ meaning in Britain, explanation of its recurrence shows the extent to which the British social conditions influence expression of a category seen to possess a traditional form. In reproducing the basis of their organisation in a new environment, members of the sect respond to a wide range of British institutions. The multiplicity of these institutions and their complex operation impinges on the everyday life of the sect members. The process of change that occurs in the interplay between the sect and the social institutions of the British society indicates the degree to which the secular attributes are likely to influence the sect. The significance of these elements in the process of change is an important theme in the analysis of ideology and social organisation of Shree Swaminarayan Siddhanta Sajivan Mandal in Britain.

title: Rural income in the People's Republic of China, 1952 to 1957, with special reference to Guangdong Province.
Creators: name: Nolan, Peter Hugh
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London
Year: 1980

description: This thesis analyzes aspects of rural income in the South Chinese province of Guangdong during the period 1952 to 1957. Its focus is upon rural personal income, i.e. income in cash and in kind available to rural dwellers for the consumption of goods and services. It uses primarily Chinese language materials, of which the most important is the daily newspaper of Guangdong province, the Nan-fang Ri-bao (Southern Daily). It examines five related issues. (1) The average level of personal income of the Guangdong farm population in the mid-1950's: this is looked at in financial terms, in terms both of the level of consumption of goods and services that it provided, and the energy consumption given by the food intake. (2) Changes in the average level of rural income between 1952 and 1957. Here the author analyzes changes in farm output, in the conditions of disposal of farm output as well as direct evidence on changes in the average level of personal income. (3) The relationship between urban and rural incomes: the author examines the extent of the gap in personal income between the two sectors in the mid-1950's, looks at evidence on changer in the gap between 1952 and 1957, and at government policy towards the issue. (4) The spatial aspect of rural income inequality: the inherited structure of regional inequality in the province is outlined, and an assessment made of the impact upon this of the economic policies of the post-1949 government. (5) Inequality of income within, the village: the author outlines briefly the nature of the inherited structure in Guangdong's villages, and examines the impact on this of three phases in post-1949 policy-land reform, the period .from the end of land reform to collectivisation, and collectivisation itself. In the conclusion to the thesis the author summarises his results for the period 1952 to 1957, and outlines the long-run experience of the province in the 1960's and 1970's in respect to these same issues.
title: The future of Israel-Saudi Arabia relations
Creators: name: Heistinger, Jakob Wendelin
Year: 2024

description: Diese wissenschaftliche Arbeit befasst sich mit den komplexen Dynamiken und Faktoren, welche die potenzielle Normalisierung der Beziehungen zwischen Israel und Saudi-Arabien beeinflussen. Der Beitrag argumentiert, dass das rezente diplomatische Momentum, ein perspektivisches Abkommen zwischen den USA und Saudi Arabien und die Festigung der de-facto Allianz gegen den Iranischen Einfluss die Grundlage für die Überwindung tief verwurzelter ideologischer und religiöser Barrieren bilden. Anhand der Untersuchung des historischen Hintergrunds, der divergierenden außenpolitischen Agenden und der strategischen Interaktionen der wichtigsten Akteure beleuchtet die Analyse die komplexe Natur dieser potenziellen Normalisierung. Die These lautet, dass eine Normalisierung möglich ist, sofern Israel die Bereitschaft zeigt, Zugeständnisse in Bezug auf die Legitimität der palästinensischen Staatlichkeit zu machen, welche in einem ernsthaften Lösungsweg integriert sind. Diese Fragen der Legitimität sowohl der palästinensischen als auch der israelischen Staatlichkeit sind jedoch zusammen mit dem rechtlich umstrittenen Status der besetzten Gebiete seit Beginn der arabisch-israelischen grundlegende und anhaltende Hindernisse.
description: This thesis delves into the intricate dynamics and factors shaping the potential normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia. It argues that recent diplomatic momentum, a perspective US-Saudi Arabian deal, and the solidification of a de-facto alliance to counter Iran´s influence are laying the foundation for overcoming deeply inherited ideological and religious barriers. By examining the historical backdrop, the divergent foreign policy agendas, and the strategic interactions of key players the analysis sheds light in the multifaceted nature of this potential normalization. The thesis contends that a normalization is feasible given that Israel shows willingness to make concessions towards the legitimacy of Palestinian statehood integrated in a serious pathway of a suitable solution. However, these questions of legitimacy for both Palestinian and Israeli statehood, along with the legally disputed status of the occupied territories, are fundamental and persistent obstacles since the onset of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
title: Nepali politics and the rise of Jang Bahadur Rana, 1830-1857.
Creators: name: Whelpton, John
Publisher: name: SOAS University of London

description: The thesis examines the political history of Nepal from 1830, covering the decline and fall of Bhimsen Thapa, the factional struggles which ended with Jang Bahadur Kunwar (later Rana)'s emergence as premier in 1846, and Jang's final securing of his own position when he assumed the joint roles of prime minister and maharaja in 1857. The relationship between king, political elite (bharadari), army and peasantry is analysed, with special prominence given to the religious aspects of Hindu kingship, and also to the role of prominent Chetri families and of the Brahman Mishras, Pandes and Paudyals who provided the rajgurus (royal preceptors). Special attention is also paid to the role of the British Residency in internal politics and to rank-and-file protest in the army, which although largely manipulated by elite patrons showed signs of potential autonomy. Jang's assumption of power is discussed in detail, emphasising the importance of his alliance with guru Vijay Raj Pande. The main features of the new regime are outlined, including the relationship between maharaja and monarch (maharajadhiraj) , the composition of the new bharadari. and Jang's dependence on it and on the army, changes to the administrative system, the significance of the Muluki Ain (Law Code) of 1854, land revenue policy and relations with the British. Jang's policies were partly the natural continuation of lines already emerging, but he nevertheless made significant changes leading to a more centralised administration, the growth of a sense of national identity, and the shift towards de facto private ownership of land which continued under his successors. Nepal remained essentially in the tradition of Hindu kingship, but with the secular functions of the king transferred to the maharaja. Jang's regime was 'autocratic' but he acknowledged in principle an obligation to the governed, and had in practice to conciliate key sectors of the public, limitations which correspond to those recognised in classical Hindu political theory. Appendices give details of Jang's family history and translations of letters written by him from Paris in 1850.
title: Exile and nostalgia in Arabic and Hebrew poetry of al-Andalus (Muslim Spain).
Creators: name: Salem, Rafik M.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the notions of "exile" (qhurba) and "nostalgia" (al-hanin ila al-Watan) in Arabic and Hebrew poetry in al-Andalus (Muslim Spain). Although this theme has been examined individually in both Arabic and Hebrew literatures, to the best of my knowledge no detailed comparative analysis has previously been undertaken. Therefore, this study sets out to compare and contrast the two literatures and cultures arising out of their co-existence in al-Andalus in the middle ages. The main characteristics of the Arabic poetry of this period are to a large extent the product of the political and social upheavals that took place in al-Andalus. Some of the cities which for many years represented the bastions of Islamic civilization were falling into the hands of the invading Christian army. This gave rise to a stream of poetry that reflects the feelings of exile and nostalgia suffered by those poets who were driven away from their native land. This Arabic poetry had a substantial influence on the literary works of the Jewish poets who were reared within the cultural circles of the Arabic courts. As a consequence the Hebrew poetry they composed, in many respects, bore the stamp of the Arabic poetry in form and content. This thesis is divided into three major parts organized as follows: the first part deals with the themes of exile and nostalgia in Arabic poetry in al-Andalus. It contains three chapters: chapter one begins with a study of the origins of the themes of exile and nostalgia in the Arabic poetic tradition. Chapter two focuses on the nostalgia and lament poetry in al-Andalus describing the characteristics of each period through examining specimens of Andalusian poems. Chapter three is devoted to a study of the poetic product of Ibn Hamdis, the Sicilian (d.1133) and discusses how the themes of exile and nostalgia became the framework of both his life and his poetry. The second part of the thesis parallels the first part in that it deals with the Hebrew poetry in al-Andalus. It consists of three chapters: chapter one investigates the origins of the concept of the homeland in the Biblical sources. Chapter two discusses the form and the structural scheme of the Hebrew poetry in al-Andalus and the influence of the Arabic poetry on the Hebrew poetic works. Chapter three is devoted to a study of the poetry of the Jewish poet, Judah ha-Levi (d.1140) and his nostalgic expressions for Zion. The third part is a comparative literary study of two specimen poems of Ibn Hamdis and ha-Levi. The aim of this study is to develop methods for an analysis of the motifs and internal structure of these two poems. The linguistic analysis is focussed mainly on the levels of phonology, morphology and syntax, while the traditional analysis is focussed primarily on the content and imagery.
