Arthur William Upfield: a biography
No full textThis dissertation is an exhaustive account of the life and work of Arthur William Upfield (1890-1964). It is presented as a critical biography and narrates the life of the writer, in his socio-cultural milieu, from birth. It also positions Upfield as a writer who dealt with issues of Aboriginality at a time when this was a singularly polemical subject. My work is informed by the theory of Zygmunt Bauman and others and is posited in the context of late-modern biography theory.
English-born, Upfield arrived in Australia in 1911 and took work in the bush, serving overseas with the Australian army at the outbreak of World War I and marrying an Australian army nurse in Egypt. Returning with his wife and son to Australia in 1921 he intermittently carried his swag until he was employed patrolling the Western Australian number 1 rabbit-proof fence for three years to 1931. By that time he had published four novels, including two crime novels featuring his fictional creation, the part-Aboriginal, part-European, Detective-Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte ('Bony'), arguably the first fully-developed character in Australian popular fiction.
Leaving the fence, Upfield settled with his family in Perth and wrote full-time until joining the Melbourne Herald in 1933. Retrenched, he resumed career writing to be further interrupted by a war-time intelligence posting in 1939. In 1943 the first Bony mysteries were published in America, where Upfield's critical success was maintained until his death. In 1945 he left his wife for Jessica Uren, to whom he remained devoted.
Upfield's in all twenty-nine Bony novels, many of which have been translated across eleven languages, afforded him notable success both at home and abroad, in good part due to his descriptive gifts and the uniqueness of his fictional character, the part-Aboriginal Bony

L'intérêt d'un renforcement des fonds propres bancaires (et de mesures complémentaires) pour concilier stabilité financière, performance et bon fonctionnement des banques
No full textLes banques ont entre autres vocations à collecter les dépôts. Ces dépôts représentent leur principale source de financement et jouent un rôle important (à la fois théoriquement et empiriquement) sur leur bon fonctionnement. Il semble donc normal que les banques aient un niveau de levier relativement élevé. Néanmoins, le fort levier des banques génère des externalités négatives pour l'ensemble de l'économie. Ainsi, des exigences plus élevées en fonds propres seraient une réponse adéquate aux problèmes de liquidations d'actifs, à la réticence des banques à lever du capital en temps de crise, aux incitations à prendre des risques résultant des garanties des États, à la hausse de la compétition et au changement de rôle des banques. Un renforcement des fonds propres bancaires permettrait donc d'améliorer la stabilité du secteur financier. Cette stabilité serait bénéfique pour l'ensemble de l'économie et ne serait pas obtenue au prix d'une baisse de valeur, d'efficacité ou de performance des banques. En effet, un renforcement des fonds propres bancaires ne devrait pas affecter négativement la valeur des banques, leur bonne gouvernance, leur distribution de crédits ou leur création de liquidité. De plus, le capital contribue à améliorer la performance et la probabilité de survie des banques en temps de crise. Malgré les effets bénéfiques d'une plus forte capitalisation, les banques semblent réticentes à augmenter leurs fonds propres. Cette réticence est notamment liée à l'effet négatif qu'aurait un renforcement des fonds propres sur la discipline des dirigeants. Des mesures complémentaires comme la création d'un compte spécial de capital ou d'actions à responsabilité limitée ont ainsi été proposées pour apporter une solution à ce problème. Enfin, modifier la rémunération des dirigeants de banques, réduire la taille des banques ou mettre en place des augmentations de capital contingentes pourraient diminuer les risques et coûts de faillite des banques
Bartholomew Tardiveau letter to Arthur St. Clair, June 30, 1789
No full textThis letter written by B. Cardiveau to Arthur St. Clair in June 1789 argues that slaves from the Southern states should be allowed to continue their servitude in the Northwest Territory even though slavery was outlawed by the Northwest Ordinance. Cardiveau predicts that if slaves are not allowed to be kept in the territory, southerners will not settle north of the Ohio River, and the area "will infallibly remain for a long time in a state of infancy." Cardiveau also suggests that slavery could be completely repealed if and when Ohio became a state and the citizens had a right to decide for themselves. The seven-page letter measures 9" by 13" (10 by 32 cm) and is part of a larger collection of Arthur St. Clair letters that is owned by the State Library of Ohio and on permanent deposit at the Ohio History Connection.
Arthur St. Clair (1734-1818) was governor of the Northwest Territory and administrator of Indian affairs for the western territories from 1787 to 1802. St. Clair led an army against a large alliance of American Indians, led by Shawnee chief Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket) and Miami chief Mishikinakwa (Little Turtle), who threatened war after their land was given to the U. S. government without their authorization, in November 1791. St. Clair suffered a disastrous defeat, losing half of his men. In response, President George Washington appointed General Anthony Wayne to defeat the region's American Indian tribes, which he did in 1794 at the Battle of Fallen Timbers. St. Clair also had many disagreements with the territorial legislature. He supported the division of the territory into different states that would be admitted separately to the Union despite the opposition of members of the legislature, including Thomas Worthington, who wished to hasten Ohio's admission for statehood. In 1802, Worthington and others asked President Thomas Jefferson to dismiss St. Clair from office, which he did on November 22, thus clearing the way for the legislature to begin drafting Ohio's constitution. St. Clair retired to his home in Lingonier, Pennsylvania, and died there in 1818
