Belonging and not belonging : understanding India in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala and V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis is essentially about the "how" and "why" of the Indian
experience as documented in novels by Paul Scott, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
and V S Naipaul. The study points to the difficulty of arriving at any
conclusive definition of the country and its people. I show that
differences in attitudes, responses or behaviour are both overt and
subtle, and depend upon whether the writer or the character identifies
with the situation or community with which he or she interacts. It is
the individual's sense of belonging or not belonging to his or her own
group - be this along racial, cultural or gender lines - that accounts
for the differing perspectives evident in these novels. The points-of-
view of the outsider and the insider can therefore be seen as
mutual comments upon the other.
Since the struggle between belonging and not belonging becomes acute
when the old meets the new, focus is centred on communities
experiencing change. These include the British in India, West-Indian
Indians and westernised Indians. Despite their differences, all three
communities share similar reasons for either an acceptance or
rejection of the 'Other'. The thesis argues that the need for
emotional stability compels allegiance to the traditional group, while
the desire for individuality encourages surrender to the new. The
former nurtures a sense of belonging while, it is argued, that the
latter is perceived as the hallmark of those who do not belong.
Tensions arise when both these needs demand to be met. What I show to
be ironic in this struggle between belonging and not belonging is that
those things which individuals overtly reject are often unexpressed
parts of their personal pysche. The barrier between "them" and "us" is
therefore very fragile

Distribution and evolution of starspots on the RS CVn binary II Pegasi in 2004
No full textThis work is supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China through grants Nos. 10373023, 10773027 and 11333006, Chinese Academy of Sciences through project KJCX2-YW-T24.We present Doppler images of RS CVn-type binary II Peg based on two data sets obtained in 2004 February and November. In order to improve signal-to-noise ratio and reliability,we apply least-squares deconvolution technique to calculate average profiles from 2032 photospheric absorption lines. Both of the resulting surface images show a wide latitude distribution of starspots. Most spots are concentrated at a high-latitude belt above 60° and a low-latitude belt near equator. The starspots evolved dramatically between two observing runs, which may indicate shorter time-scale evolution in this epoch, especially for low-latitude belt. There is no stable preferred active longitude that can be found in our images. We also find out a possible phenomenon that the intermediate-latitude spot migrated poleward and merged with the high-latitude spot to make it stronger, which may reveal a more complex behaviour of starspots on II Peg. A potential change of orbital ephemeris zero-point was detected. This may imply an orbital period change of II Peg like other active close binaries.Peer reviewe

Herb Stovel and authenticity in World Heritage conservation practice. Conversaciones con... Herb Stovel Num. 8 Año 5 (2019) julio-diciembre
No full textThe 2008 article in the APT Bulletin by Herb Stovel focuses on the impact of the authenticity debate on the conservation of built heritage, particularly on World Heritage sites. Stovel describes discussions leading up to the important international meeting in 1994 in Nara, Japan and assesses the impact of the Nara document on authenticity on conservation practice. This paper examines Stovel’s article from four perspectives: the origins of the authenticity debate, theoretical advances made at Nara, conservation practice, and the incomplete theorization of integrity. It supplements Stovel’s paper by deepening the pre-Nara context and by furthering consideration of the impacts of the Nara document on conservation practice. It explores unfinished business with regard to the application of integrity to cultural World Heritage sites. The paper also adds passages from Stovel’s insightful 2011 interviews for the World Heritage Oral Archives program, thereby offering a glimpse of the evolution of his thinking on these issues after 2008.Cameron, Christina (2008) “From Warsaw to Mostar: The World Heritage Committee and authenticity”, APT Bulletin 39 (2/3): 19-24.Cameron, Christina and Mechtild Rössler (2013) Many voices, one vision: The early years of the World Heritage convention, Ashgate, Farnham.Cameron, Christina and Nobuko Inaba (2015) “The making of the Nara document”, APT Bulletin 46 (4): 30-37.ICOMOS (1994) The Nara document on authenticity [https://www.icomos.org/charters/nara-e.pdf] (accessed on 20 August 2019).Parent, Michel (1979) Comparative study of nominations and criteria for world cultural heritage, principles and criteria for inclusion of properties on the World Heritage List [http://whc.unesco.org/archive/1979/cc-79-conf003-11e.pdf] (accessed on 20 July 2019).Pressouyre, Léon (1996) The World Heritage convention, twenty years later, Association of Former UNESCO Staff Members, Paris.Stovel, Herb (2000) “Nara revisited: the impact of the Nara document on the understanding and use of the authenticity concept”, in: Giuseppe Cristinelli and Vittorio Foramitti (eds.), Il Restauro fra identità et autenticità.

Queering rurality: reading The Miseducation of Cameron Post geographically
No full textThis paper contributes to research on geographies of queer rural youth through an analysis of an award-winning young adult novel, The Miseducation of Cameron Post by Danforth (2012a. The Miseducation of Cameron Post. New York: Harper Collins). Three themes from the text are explored in this paper. The first is the well documented heterosexism of rural life. We note that the main protagonist, Cameron Post, experiences rural life on the margins, not only because of her queer identity but also because of her age and gender. A second theme in Danforth’s text is that rural spaces can be transgressively queer. In this respect the author subverts conflations of rurality and heterosexuality and urbanity and homosexuality as well as universalising notions of rurality as static, repressive and exclusive. The final theme emerging from a geographical reading of the text is that of placelessness. While highlighting the pervasiveness of this theme, we note that it elicits criticism from readers in relation to the book’s ending as it departs from the norms of familiar coming-out-narratives. In conclusion, we emphasise the efficacy of young adult literature as a source for furthering geographic knowledge about young people and sexuality.Arts, Education & Law Group, School of Humanities, Languages and Social SciencesFull Tex
