Flora Tristan Life Stories
No full textFlora Tristan is best known as a nineteenth century French social critic and reformer. Her writings can be seen as a precursor to Marxism and Feminism. Flora Tristan: Life Sories by Susan Grogan, investigates the life of Flora Tristan through an exploration of the way she represented herself in her own writings. The author also examines the portrayal of Flora Tristan in paintings and literature. Rather than adopting a chronological approach, the author surveys the personae of Flora Tristan through thematic chapters on her roles as author, socialist, traveller and "Mother of the Workers". She places Flora Tristan in the context of contemporary debates and ideas, adding to our understanding of the times in which Flora Tristan lived. Flora Tristan: Life Stories argues that Flora Tristan's self-representations were attempts to claim a role of authority and significance not open to women in the nineteenth century. This authoritative study also engages with attempts to re-evaluate the writing of biography and to explore the meaning of an individual life in historical context.Book Cover -- Title -- Copyright -- ContentsFlora Tristan is best known as a nineteenth century French social critic and reformer.

A comparison of the moss floras of Chile and New Zealand
No full textChile and New Zealand share a common stock of 181 species of mosses in 94 genera and 34 families. This number counts for 23.3% of the Chilean and 34.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. If only species with austral distribution are taken into account, the number is reduced to 113 species in common, which is 14.5% of the Chilean and 21.6% of the New Zealand moss flora. This correlation is interpreted in terms of long distance dispersal resp. the common phytogeographical background of both countries as parts of the palaoaustral floristic region and compared with disjunct moss floras of other continents as well as the presently available molecular data

Makna Simbolik Upacara Wulla Poddu dalam Masyarakat Loli Sumba Barat Nusa Tenggara Timur
No full textThe Symbolic Meaning of the Wulla Paddu Ceremony. The research on the Wulla Paddu ceremony of the Loli community in West Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara province, intends to find out the symbolic meaning expressed in local traditional music called talla. The ceremony represents ritual activity during the Holy month of Loli New Year observed once a year according to the cultural calendar of the local community who believed in the supreme being of Marapu. The aim of the ceremony is to show respect and to express gratitude and requests to Ama wolu-Ama rawi (The Creator) through the intercession of Marapu. Wulla Paddu ceremonial event is organized in several phases which are always accompanied by talla music. The performance of talla music represents a symbolic meaning in terms of worshipping the supreme being of Marapu. The performance of talla music has been compulsory as an important part of the annually observed Wulla Paddu where the rhythm of the music reflects the symbolic meaning of the ceremony. The outcome of this research has shown that the performance of talla music in Wulla Paddu ceremony has played an important role in revealing the meanings of religious, social, and cultural symbols. The music is worthy to be preserved in accordance with its local cultural values, as well as an intangible heritage of West Sumba people, that hopefully will remain observed by the Loli community for many generations to come.

Defining indigenous plants: some problematic species from Norfolk Island
No full textDefining indigenous species may at first appear straight forward; most botanical texts provide similar definitions. The consistent requirement of such definitions is the lack of human intervention in the occurrence of the species within the area under consideration. Islands around the world have been invaded by plant species brought to their shores by humans. They are also places where self-introduced species can be continually arriving, as they have done for millennia. Scrutiny of the situation on Norfolk Island (1200 km east of Australia) finds that the distinction between indigenous and introduced taxa is sometimes unclear. There is also inconsistency regarding the acceptance of self-introduced species as indigenous. This paper explores these issues and notes that they are more important than idle botanical curiosity, because control of introduced (weed) species is a major area of activity in managing protected natural areas
