The Construction and Circulation of Ideas of "Desirable" and "Undesirable" Colonial Labour by Sir Granville St John Orde Browne, 1885-1950.

该项目利用社会网络和话语分析殖民办公室国务秘书的劳工顾问格兰维尔·圣约翰·奥德布朗爵士的生活、关系和作品，以突出关于多个机构和帝国中关于“可取的”和“不可取的”劳动力的观念的构建和传播。它使用Orde Browne从1885年到1950年的网络、语言和职业生涯作为基础来研究一个更广泛的问题：为什么殖民地政府和国际劳工组织等机构发展和交流关于性别、年龄、种族和阶级的不断变化的和持久的思想，以及这些思想如何影响多机构和殖民地间背景下的殖民劳工的治理？通过应用Gephi和对Weston Libary的Orde Browne个人文件和来自英国、牙买加、斯里兰卡和加纳国家档案馆的劳工文件的交叉分析，该项目分析了全球背景下关于性别、年龄、阶级和种族的观念的连续性和变化，并强调了这些与从大英帝国到国际劳工组织等国际机构等多个治理领域的殖民劳工政策的发展之间的关系。它试图通过结合对1885-1950年间劳工治理的网络和话语分析，克服后殖民时代和基于性别的殖民主义批评分析和对全球和帝国历史中的网络的强调之间的史学分离。

This project uses a social network and discourse analysis of the life, relations, and works of Sir Granville St John OrdeBrowne, labour advisor to the secretary of state of the Colonial Office, to highlight the construction and circulation ofideas about "desirable" and "undesirable" labour across multiple institutions and empires. It uses the network, language,and career of Orde Browne from 1885 to 1950 as a basis to examine a wider question: why and how did colonial officesand institutions such as the ILO develop and exchange changing and enduring ideas about gender, age, race, and classand how did these affect the governance of colonial labour in a multi-institutional and inter-colonial context? Through theapplication of GEPHI and an intersectional analysis of Orde Browne's personal papers at the Weston Libary and labourfiles from the UK, Jamaican, Sri Lankan, and Ghanaian national archives, this project analyzes continuities and changesin ideas about gender, age, class, and race in a global context and highlights how these related to developments incolonial labour policies in multiple spheres of governance - ranging from the British Empire to international institutionssuch as the ILO. It seeks to overcome the historiographical separation between post-colonial and gender-based criticalanalysis of colonialism and the emphasis on networks within global and imperial history by combining a network anddiscourse analysis of the governance of labour between 1885-1950.
