The marriage of Philip of Habsburg and Mary Tudor and anti-Spanish sentiment in England : political economies and culture, 1553-1557.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the early part of Mary I's reign, focusing on her marriage to
Philip of Habsburg and the marginalisation of their co-monarchy in Tudor historiography.
By looking at the diplomatic background and political opposition in England, I interrogate
the notion that anti-Spanish sentiment was a central cause of the Wyatt rebellion, arguing that
instead its aetiology lay in female sovereignty and the constitutional uncertainties produced
by it. Dynasticism tended to alienate power from familiar, local and territorial sources of
political authority. Infant mortality and the vicissitudes of the marriage market in this context
threatened discrete 'national' identities with an incipient imperialist internationalism. I analyse
in detail the marriage contract and 'Act declaring that the regal power of this realm is in the
Queen's Majesty', using them as evidence to show that anxieties about property rights were
not related to the repudiation of the Supremacy, repeal of Henrician legislation and return of
papal jurisdiction. The staging of the wedding harped on Philip's inferior status, inverting that
which the marriage ceremony rehearsed. The Castilian writing of England as a romance of
chivalry sublimated a sexual licence which repeated the fears played upon by exiled
polemicists that the kingdom had been transformed into the feminised subject of Spanish
male authority. Anti-Spanish propaganda did not reflect popular xenophobia. It was literate
and sophisticated, related to sectarian struggle and engaged with theories of justifiable
disobedience. Finally, I treat the joint royal London Entry and representations of Philip and
Mary welcoming his assumption of authority in relation to both England and his new quee

Early presynaptic and late postsynaptic components contribute independently to Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor-induced synaptic plasticity
No full textTrophin-induced synaptic plasticity consists of both presynaptic and postsynaptic processes. The potential interdependence of these mechanisms and their temporal relationships are undefined. The synaptic vesicle protein Rab3A is required for the early, initial 10 min phase, but not for the later phase of BDNF-enhanced transmission. We now examine the temporal distinction and mechanistic relationships between these phases of BDNF action. Rab3A mutant cells did not exhibit increased mEPSC frequency in response to BDNF in cell culture, indicating absence of the presynaptic component. In contrast, BDNF enhanced post-synaptic glutamate-induced current in the mutant neurons as in the wildtype, indicating that the postsynaptic component of the response was intact. Finally, the postsynaptic NMDA receptor subunit NR2B was phosphorylated at Tyr1472 by BDNF in Rab3A knockouts, as previously shown in wildtype. Our results are the first to demonstrate that presynaptic and postsynaptic components of BDNF-enhanced synaptic activity are independent and temporally distinct.Peer reviewe
