Tutkielmani tarkastelee käsityksiä ruumiista englantilaisessa kulttuurissa n. 1700-1780. Ruumiin historia on varsin uusi historiantutkimuksen ala ja sitä on leimannut feministinen tutkimusote, joka on keskittynyt diskurssiin naisen ruumiista ja seksuaalisuudesta. Itse kuitenkin lähestyn ruumista sen sivuutetun ulottuvuuden, ruumiineritteiden, kautta ja yhdistän käsitykset myös toiminnan tasolle. Tarkastelen erittävää ruumiista kulttuurihistoriallisesti sijoittamalla sen kahteen 1700-luvulla merkittävään kontekstiin: lääketieteeseen ja kohteliaisuuskulttuuriin. Tällä pyrin paitsi avaamaan ruumiiseen ja ruumiineritteisiin liittyvien käsitysten kirjoa myös osoittamaan näiden kahden kontekstin väliset vuorovaikutussuhteet. Lääketieteen ja kohteliaisuuskulttuurin puitteissa käsittelen erittävää ruumista mahdollisimman kokonaisvaltaisesti niin fysiologian, terveydenhoidon, hajujen, hygienian, aineellisen kulttuurin kuin sosiaalisten suhteiden kannalta, käyttäen lähteinäni mm. lääketieteellisiä tekstejä, kaunokirjallisuutta, matkakertomuksia, päiväkirjoja, kirjeitä, lehtiä ja muuta kohteliasta kirjallisuutta. Käsitykset erittävästä ruumiista osoittautuvat moninaisiksi, jopa ristiriitaisiksi. Toisaalta lääketiede korostaa ruumiin avoimuutta ja eritteiden vapautta, toisaalta kohteliaisuus vaatii ruumiintoimintojen suhteen pidättyväisyyttä. Tämän moninaisuuden pohjalta kritisoin mm. Norbert Eliaksen sivilisaatioteoriaa ja osoitan näiden vastakkaisten käsitysten tilannesidonnaisuuden, joka mahdollistaa niiden samanaikaisen olemassaolon. Kohteliaat herrasmiehet ja -naiset ovatkin kovin kiinnostuneita erittävistä ruumiistaan: ihmiset tarkkailevat eritteitään saadakseen tietoa ruumiin sisältä sekä toisten eritteitä karsiakseen kaiken eläimellisen ympäriltään ja kaunokirjallisuudessa ne ovat naurun ja huvituksen lähde. Vuorovaikutus lääketieteellisen ja kohteliaan kulttuurin välillä osoittautuukin varsin tiiviiksi: kohteliaisuuden takana vaikuttavat periaatteet näkyvät myös lääketieteessä ja toisaalta lääketiede tunkeutuu mm. kohteliaaseen kieleen, hämärtäen näin kontekstien välistä rajaa.

This dissertation is an onomastic study of variation in women s name phrases in official documents in Finland during the period 1780−1930. The aim is to discuss from a socio-onomastic perspective both the changeover from patronymics to inherited family names and the use of surnames after marriage (i.e. whether women adopted their husbands family names or retained their maiden names), before new laws in this area entered into force in Finland in the early 20th century. In 1920, a law on family names that required fixed names put an end to the use of the patronymic as a person s only surname. After 1929, it was no longer possible for a married woman to retain her maiden name. Methodologically, to explain this development from a socio-onomastic perspective, I have based my study on a syntactic-semantic analysis of the actual name phrases. To be able to demonstrate the extensive material, I have elaborated a scheme to divide the 115 different types of name phrases into 13 main categories. The analysis of the material for Helsinki is based on frequency calculations of the different types of name phrases every thirtieth year, as well as on describing variation in the structure and semantic content of the name phrases, e.g. social variation in the use of titles and epithets. In addition to this, by applying a biographic-genealogical method, I have conducted two case studies of the usage of women s name phrases in the two chosen families. The study is based on parish registers from the period 1780−1929, estate inventory documents from the period 1780−1928, registration forms for liberty of trade from the period 1880−1908, family announcements on newspapers from the period 1829−1888, gravestones from the period 1796−1929 and diaries from the periods 1799−1801 and 1818−1820 providing a corpus of 5 950 name phrases. The syntactic-semantic analysis has revealed the overall picture of various ways of denoting women in official documents. In Helsinki, towards the end of the 19th century, the use of inherited family names seems to be almost fully developed in official contexts. At the late 19th century, a patronymic still appears as the only surname of some working-class women whereas in the early 20th century patronymics were only entered in the parish register as a kind of middle name. In the beginning of the 19th century, most married women were still registered under their maiden names, with a few exceptions among the bourgeoisie and upper class. The comparative analysis of name phrases in diaries, however, indicates that the use of the husband s family name by married women was a much earlier phenomenon in private contexts than in official documents. Keywords: socio-onomastics, syntactic-semantic analysis, name phrase, patronymic, maiden name, husband s family name

Like pages of a "natural coastal diary", successive layers of anoxic varved sediment in the central Santa Barbara Basin have been used by paleoceanographers to reconstruct aspects of past coastal climate. This report focuses on the end of the "Little Ice Age" (15th to 19th century) and on the beginning of this century, a period known to encompass extreme climate excursions and weather events in the Santa Barbara Basin and other parts of Southern California. El Niño events are known to disrupt Southern California's coastal ecosystems and to cause anomalous weather conditions, but El Niño events in Southern California before 1990 have been largely undocumented.

This thesis covers the Irish House of Lords in the last two decades of its life. A number of important themes run through the work - the regency crisis, patronage, the management of the Lords, the relationship between the Lords and Commons. These themes, explored from different angles, are vital to an understanding of the political role of the upper house in the 1780s and 1790s. This study is confined to the Lords as a political institution and thus its judicial role as final court of appeal, which was restored to it in 1782, will not be explored here. The thesis consists of two parts. Part one examines the structure and powers of the House of Lords while part two looks at the parties and policies of the house. Chapter one discusses the British constitution as imposed upon Ireland. Chapter two suggests the reasons why constitutional changes were introduced in 1782, and looks at the contribution made by the Irish House of Lords in securing these changes. Chapter three explores the various channels of influence which the peers enjoyed. Chapter four explores the sometimes tense relationship between Lords and Commons. Chapter five examines management of the House of Lords by Dublin Castle. Part two, begins at chapter six. This chapter explores the leadership of both parties within the Lords. Chapter seven looks at how patronage was used to reward those who were loyal to the government. Chapter eight explores the influence of the Whig opposition. Chapter nine looks at the controversial attempts made by Pitt and his ministry during the 1790s to win the support of catholics and turn them from the lure of French ideas, and of the response of the peers to these attempts. Chapter ten is concerned with the relationship between the peers of the House of Lords and the lords lieutenant during the 1790s. Chapter eleven looks at the Union and the House of Lords and attempts to answer the question historians have long asked: why did the Irish parliament and the House of Lords in particular, look favourably on the proposed union of the two kingdoms and the end of their own institution? The House of Lords in the closing decades of the eighteenth century was an institution within which the wealth and power of the kingdom could be found. Its members were politically active, both inside and outside the house. It contained a majority who saw the Crown as the source of stability, but it was a living and evolving political organism and therefore it contained men who believed that the Crown should have its influence limited. This evolution is also demonstrated in its desire for political change in 1782 and 1788. Its last, and perhaps most radical decision, was to vote for its own demise in 1900.

The use of the consumer boycott as a political tool is commonly associated with pre-revolutionary colonial America and has been identified by historians as an important means through which American women were politicized. This article argues that from the late seventeenth century, Irish political discourse advocated the non-consumption of imported goods and support for home manufactures by women in ways that were strikingly similar to those used later in North America. In Ireland and, subsequently in the American colonies, the virtuous woman consumer was given an active public role by political and social commentators. Rather than being a “brilliantly original American invention,” as T. H. Breen has argued, the political exploitation of a consumer boycott and the promotion of local industry were among what Bernard Bailyn has described as the “set of ideas, already in scattered ways familiar” to the revolutionary leaders through the Irish experience. The article also argues that a shared colonial environment gave Irish and American women a public patriotic role in the period, c. 1700–1780 that they did not have in the home countries of England and Scotland.
