Item Embargo Coastal Feelings: Colonizing Affects in Nineteenth-Century Australia(2024-06-27) McCullough, Meredith; Michie, Helena; Joseph, Betty; Wildenthal, LoraMy dissertation, “Coastal Feelings: Colonizing Affects in Nineteenth-Century Australia,” produces an affective account of settler colonialism in the context of Australia’s coastal environments. In nineteenth-century Australia, coasts were the first environments to be seen, then settled, by invading British colonists. They remained places not only of encounter but also of connections to England, and were central to the nostalgia and violence of the settler imaginary. Coasts provided settlers with a site for defining themselves against Indigenous peoples, for imagining their new home, and for mourning the home they left behind. I argue for the centrality of affect to the settler colonial project by focusing on textual and visual depictions of coastal environments in nineteenth-century Australia. I find that gender is central to many of these accounts, which coalesce around real and fictional White women. The four chapters of my dissertation take me to four places along the southern Australian coast. Each is an example of a different kind of geographically-inflected discourse. Whether about the shore, islands, a coastal classroom, or a seemingly tranquil bay, each chapter shows how literature captures and creates affective relationships with coastal environments. It is my hope that by naming and understanding the violent colonial imperatives shaping the history of literary coasts we will be able to reexamine our contemporary relationships with coastal environments and reorient them toward justice, inclusion, and ethical littoral living.Item Competing Claims: An Analysis of References to the Past Made to Justify Ownership of the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba(Rice University, 2019-05) Panitz, Abigail; Wildenthal, Lora; Irish, Maya SoiferCompeting claims of ownership to the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, a popular tourist site, have emerged in the twenty-first century. The Cordoban Chapter of the Catholic Church was permitted to register the space as its formal property in 2006. Some politicians, particularly members of Spain’s Socialist party, the PSOE, dispute the law that allowed this registration. In their view, the law was passed as part of the conservative People’s Party’s strategy to protect privileges afforded to the Church. The thesis analyzes two reports to demonstrate how two groups, the state and the Church, relied on distinct episodes of Spanish history to support their claims. A 2014 local Church report used nineteenth- and twentieth-century property laws to defend its claims to ownership. A 2018 local government report used the medieval legal code Las Siete Partidas to argue for restoring the space to state control. The dispute in Córdoba is a microcosm of the challenges affecting church-state relations in the post-dictatorship era of secular democracy in modern Spain.Item Gender and Colonial Politics after the Versailles Treaty(Berghahn, 2010) Wildenthal, Lora; Canning, Kathleen; Barndt, Kerstin; McGuire, KristinItem Human Rights Activism in Occupied and Early West Germany: The Case of the German League for Human Rights(The University of Chicago Press, 2008) Wildenthal, LoraItem Human Rights Advocacy and National Identity in West Germany(Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000) Wildenthal, LoraItem Introduction(Duke University Press, 2001) Wildenthal, LoraItem Lora Wildenthal on Neta C.
