The Ulster Women's Declaration and the Passion of Women in the Campaign against Home Rule,c.1886–1912*

On Ulster Day, 28 September 1912, Unionist leaders orchestrated the mass signing of the Ulster Covenant and the Women's Declaration against Irish home rule. These were highly emotive documents and the ‘passion’ expressed by women contrasted with the men, as the Covenant implied a pact with God while the Women's Declaration promised to support their male counterparts. The Declaration, with 234,046 signatures, was one of the largest petitions ever organised by Irish (and British women) in this period and expressed the desire of many Ulsterwomen to defend their identities as Unionists and Protestants. This article breaks new ground by examining the Declaration as a form of petitioning culture. It will analyse Unionist women's petitioning through the lens of ‘passion’ and argue that petitioning offered women a way to express their feelings on this important issue. This will be done by analysing the Declaration and the Unionist women's earlier petitioning campaigns to reveal what motivated Unionist women to protest and their political practice. Another perspective is provided by the contemporary criticisms of the Declaration made by suffrage activists. This shows that while ‘passion’ could mobilise women, it could also cause friction. This article will also consider the gendered coverage of Ulsterwomen's political participation by the press. Overall, this article reappraises the political activism of Ulsterwomen from the perspective of petitioning and the power of ideological passion in politics.     

信息过载情境下旅游者目的地选择决策研究——热门形象与长尾形象的差异化作用分析

借助网络,旅游者能够获得丰富的目的地属性信息,形成的引致形象更为丰满。本文采用情境实验法,检验了信息过载情境下引致形象发生的结构性变化对旅游者目的地选择决策的影响。研究发现：①属性信息过载主要表现为旅游者对目的地长尾形象信息的选择性记忆,而目的地热门形象仍能被普遍记住;②在旅游者目的地选择决策过程中,目的地的热门形象依旧起着决定性作用,即USP依然是有效的营销策略;③在网络信息环境中新生成的引致形象长尾部分对旅游者决策的影响受到引致形象热门部分的调节,即引致形象长尾只有在特定的条件下才对旅游者决策有所影响。该研究结论有助于深化旅游者目的地选择决策理论、指导DMO目的地营销工作的开展。     

Seeing for the state: Kemalist long‐distance nationalism in Australia

The recent literature on Muslim organisations in the Turkish diaspora context is voluminous as is analysis of Kurdish and Alevi grassroots politics against the Turkish state. Yet nothing has been written on those whose political orientation is in line with the secularist‐nationalist ideology of the Turkish Republic, that is, of Kemalists. As a contribution to this endeavour, this paper explores Kemalist actors' mobilisation in Australia. The paper argues that their current activism is related to a threatened economic privilege, a loss of cultural capital and a waning political dominance in the ongoing social life of Turkey.
