Making your thesis into a book

Researchers are often approached to consider publishing a thesis as a book.

If you intend to publish your thesis in this way, permission must be requested from the registrar with the consent of the supervisor, the head of department and the dean of the faculty, for the copyright to be ceded to the student in order to publish the thesis as a book.

PLEASE NOTE !  The copyright to theses and dissertations done at UP belongs to the University (see section 4.6 in the  Policy on Electronic Theses and Dissertations ):

4.6.  The University of Pretoria is the copyright holder of all its theses and dissertations.  A request for copyright to be ceded to the student can be made after graduation. A  recommendation to this effect should be made to the Intellectual Property Legal  Advisor in the Department of Research and Innovation and should be with the  consent of the supervisor, the head of the department and the dean of the faculty.  The University retains the right to archive the electronic version of such a thesis or  dissertation on UPSpace (Institutional Repository).

According to this policy, the University reserves the right to archive an electronic copy of the thesis/dissertation in the University's repository system ( UPSpace ). The Library keeps an electronic copy of each thesis/dissertation done at UP and it cannot be removed from the system. Authors who wish to  embargo  the full text must submit to the library a written instruction from the head of department and the dean of the faculty stipulating the reason to do so.

Postgraduate Students, be aware of the  predatory publishers  who send complimentary emails inviting and offering authors of new theses and dissertations to publish their theses into a book. Avoid these  predatory publishers  and always check if they are listed in the  accredited lists .

EBSCO Open Dissertations

EBSCO Open Dissertations makes electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) more accessible to researchers worldwide. The free portal is designed to benefit universities and their students and make ETDs more discoverable. 

Increasing Discovery & Usage of ETD Research

EBSCO Open Dissertations is a collaboration between EBSCO and BiblioLabs to increase traffic and discoverability of ETD research. You can join the movement and add your theses and dissertations to the database, making them freely available to researchers everywhere while increasing traffic to your institutional repository. 

EBSCO Open Dissertations extends the work started in 2014, when EBSCO and the H.W. Wilson Foundation created American Doctoral Dissertations which contained indexing from the H.W. Wilson print publication, Doctoral Dissertations Accepted by American Universities, 1933-1955. In 2015, the H.W. Wilson Foundation agreed to support the expansion of the scope of the American Doctoral Dissertations database to include records for dissertations and theses from 1955 to the present.

How Does EBSCO Open Dissertations Work?

Your ETD metadata is harvested via OAI and integrated into EBSCO’s platform, where pointers send traffic to your IR.

EBSCO integrates this data into their current subscriber environments and makes the data available on the open web via opendissertations.org .

Storm, Stress, and Sexual Revolution: Economies of Desire in the German Literary Avant-Garde of the 1770s

Add to collection, downloadable content.

• July 28, 2023
• Affiliation: College of Arts and Sciences, Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures, Carolina-Duke Graduate Program in German Studies
• This dissertation identifies a queer revolutionary core to the Sturm und Drang movement in German literature that sought to revolutionize the social through the force of the erotic. Drawing on the discourse of queer theory, I claim that these texts question, disrupt, and overthrow contemporary sexual and gender mores. Moreover, I argue, the political economics of the Sturm und Drang are dependent on its queerness: by questioning the structures of social life, authors of the Sturm und Drang sought not mere reform, but the building of a new polity from the ground-up. My first two chapters reveal Jakob Michael Reinhold Lenz as the most radical author of Sturm und Drang sexual revolution. In his political-economic writings on military reform, Lenz introduces a radical solution in moderate packaging that utilizes the erotic for social transformation. In his dramas, Lenz demonstrates how thus rethinking sexuality as a means for change opens the way disrupting and making more egalitarian existing structures. The third chapter argues that Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s early Sturm und Drang works Stella and Die Leiden des Jungen Werthers engage in a similar process of sexual revolution. Goethe disrupts the either-or logic of the conventional literary love-triangle and substitutes a polyamorous logic of both-and, where all three partners can define their own relationship against social norms. The fourth chapter explores the theme of infanticide. While Lenz and Gottfried August Bürger seek to liberate desire from what they view as an inherently alien force of destruction, Friedrich Schiller and Heinrich Leopold Wagner see such destruction as an inherent part of desire. Goethe attempts to mediate between these two sides in his own approach. The fifth chapter addresses how Schiller’s Die Räuber and Goethe’s Die Wahlverwandtschaften turn definitively away from sexual and social experimentation, ending the movement’s radical potential. I argue that Die Räuber appropriates the aesthetics of the movement against its ideals. Goethe’s Wahlverwandtschaften utilizes the discourses of botany and chemistry to mobilize the order of nature against his own earlier revolutionary ideas. My project is thus an archaeology of a revolution that never happened and an autopsy of its failure.
