Full textAbstract:
En Europe et en Amérique, la plupart des musées des beaux-arts sont nés après 1850 de l'initiative de collectionneurs. Majoritairement des industriels, des banquiers et des négociants, ils considéraient la collection comme un symbole de culture, de prospérité, de richesse, de pouvoir pour eux-mêmes et pour leur nation. Ainsi, l' Art Institute de Chicago est fondé en 1879. La culture européenne était un modèle pour la nouvelle nation américaine, soucieuse de compter parmi les puissances culturelles. Le Louvre devint le musée idéal et l'incarnation de la haute culture en raison de sa visée éducative, patriotique et régénératrice héritée du moment révolutionnaire français. Fondé sur une prosopographie comparée et une étude des goûts, ce travail met en évidence les aspects sociaux, culturels, politiques et économiques de la collection, ainsi que les processus d'imitations et de transformations, de Paris à Chicago, qui contribuèrent à façonner le musée américain.

Le sujet central de cette recherche universitaire se concentre sur l’étude des musées américains et de leurs publics. En ces temps de mutations dans le champ des habitudes culturelles, que devient le rôle du musée, en tant que maillon de ces changements, voire en tant que moteur de ces changements ? Aujourd’hui, le musée s’ identifie non plus par la variété de ses collections mais par celle de ses visiteurs. Face au discours national d’échec de la démocratisation de la pratique muséale, quelles sont les stratégies mises en place outre‐Atlantique afin d’attirer le public et d’en assurer sa diversité ? Et plus encore, comment déterminer si celles‐ci sont efficaces ? Pour répondre à ces problématiques, des enquêtes ont été menées auprès des visiteurs de l’Art Institute of Chicago en 2009. Deux questionnaires différents, dont un conçu dans le cadre de l’expérimentation du concept de la Temporalité de la réception, ont aidé à déterminer la typologie des publics ainsi que les représentations sociales associées à cette institution. À travers l’espace‐temps que constitue l’expérience muséale, dans quelle mesure le musée a‐t‐il un impact dans la poursuite ou non de la pratique de ses visiteurs ?The current research focuses on the American museum as well as on an analysis of their audience. In these times of mutations in the field of cultural habits, what is the role of the museum as a link to, or even more, as a driving force of those changes? Museums are no longer identified by the diversity of their collections but by the diversity of their audiences. In considering the French national speech concerning the failure of our cultural democratization system, it would be interesting to identify which strategies have been established across the Atlantic to appeal the visitor and assure a variety of attendees, and determine whether the strategies are effective. To answer these questions, surveys were administered at the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. Two questionnaires were developed with the objectives of determining the typology of visitors and the social representations associated with this institution. Through the space-time created by the museum experience, the surveys attempted to determine in which measures the museum has an impact on the museum practice of their visitors

Afin d'examiner la construction du sens dans les expositions muséales, cette étude place au centre de ses hypothèses trois dimensions initiales : la production du sens, sa circulation ou distribution et sa réalisation ou appropriation. Ce choix est justifié sur la base d'une méthodologie transdisciplinaire propre aux études culturelles. Nous essayons d' expliquer les processus de négociation, les discours hégémoniques et les structures du sentiment qui interviennent au sein de cultures. Les études de cas de cette thèse ont été développés au Musée National d'Art Mexicain de Chicago et au Musée du quai Branly it. Paris entre 2006 et 2009.

Full textAbstract:
This study used data from the homicides in Chicago 1965-1995 dataset (N=9,340) to examine the relationship between the use of certain types of weapons in criminal homicides by gender, race, age, victim-offender relationship, motive, location, and changes over time. Differential association and sex-role theory were utilized to argue why gender differences would occur in type of weapon used in a homicide. Subculture of violence theory was used to emphasize that the place where the homicide occurs, the relationship between the victim and offender, motive of the offender, and the remaining variables affects the type of weapon used to kill. Significant relationships were found for all bivariate analyses performed. The type of weapon used to kill differs most by sex of offender, resulting in a moderately strong association. The type of weapon used to kill differs least by age of offender and although statistically significant, the association between the two is very weak.

Full textAbstract:
This research and documentation project evaluates the architectural and historic significance of the St. Alphonsus Roman Catholic Church Complex for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. St. Alphonsus Church was founded as a German National Parish and operated by the Redemptorist Order of priests since 1882, providing religious, social, recreational, and educational opportunities in an imposing complex of five buildings occupying a full city block. The complex, composed of a Church, School, Athenaeum, Rectory, and Convent, is locally significant for its associations with German-American immigration and settlement in Chicago's Lakeview community area. The project includes a narrative description of the five properties and their surroundings, plus a statement of its historic and architectural significance during the period between 1882 and 1928.Department of Architecture

L’ethnographie des agences de travail journalier de la région de Chicago met en lumière plusieurs fonctions de ces institutions : assurer les employeurs contre le risque légal associé à l'emploi d’étrangers non autorises, maintenir en permanence un volant de candidats disponibles par le biais de leur rétention spatiale, et transporter la main-d’œuvre ethniquement subalterne des quartiers centraux où elle réside vers les villes moyennes de grande banlieue où se sont installées beaucoup d’entreprises industrielles et leurs dirigeants. L'enjeu économique s'avère alors être moins I'intermittence en elle-même que le contrôle de la mobilité des classes populaires sur le marché du travail déqualifié. Les mouvements sociaux fondés à Chicago pour favoriser I'organisation politique s'avèrent être des acteurs centraux du travail journalier d'agence notamment parce que leurs stratégies d'action au quotidien en font à part entière des intermédiaires de marché du travailParticipant observation of Chicago-area light industrial staffing agencies emphasizes several functions of these institutions including: allowing employers to hire unauthorized migrants without assuming legal risk, keeping a permanent pool of available workers through their spatial retention, and transporting an ethnically subaltern workforce from the inner city neighborhoods where they live to the suburbs where many factories have settled. The economic stake is then less the employment relationship's casualness in itself than the control over working class mobility throughout the unskilled labor market. The existence of informal carriers by permanent day laborers within client factories points to a paternalistic pattern of workforce mobilization and retention. The social movements created to improve the industry are themselves part and parcel of a broader process of institutional intermediation of the unskilled labor market in the United States

Full textAbstract:
After studying modern architectural designs during my one-andone-half year residence in the United States, I have deepened my intellectual consciousness for Modern Chinese Architecture, a subject which I had previously researched through my studies in China. As a multi-national country, the United States has absorbed various foreign cultural systems, including the Chinese culture and its architecture. This has revealed itself in part through many unique "China-towns" such as those in New York, San Francisco, Chicago and other major metropolitan areas.Restricted by city planning and highway systems in the in the United States, the Chinese-like buildings in these American Chinatowns can not perfectly show the principles, philosophy and spirit of authentic Chinese architectural concepts. Rather, they are similar only on their facades by incorporating superficially reproduced symbols, responding to a pragmatic commercial need. This problem brings me to an unanswered question of how to present the Chinese concepts of space in modern architecture, and addresses the significant issues I have studied with my colleagues at the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design. After having worked both for S.O.M. in Chicago and at Ball State University I have made a new attempt to understand the philosophy and built forms of my homeland, based on this oneand-one-half year of study and new experience within western architectural design. Combining this older quest with my new experience became the focus of my thesis.Department of Architecture

Retraçant le développement du mouvement étudiant à Chicago à l'époque de la guerre du Viêt-nam, cette thèse étudie la manière dont les autorités universitaires et locales ont répondu aux défis posés par les étudiants blancs, noirs et latinos protestant contre la guerre et contre la persistance de discriminations raciales et de pauvreté dans la ville. Elle présente conjointement trois récits qui ont toujours été séparés par l'historiographie: la montée de la contestation étudiante contre la guerre du Viêt-nam sur les campus et dans les rues; le développement de l'idéologie du Pouvoir noir et latino parmi les étudiants ; l'engagement des étudiants dans leurs communautés autour des questions de lutte contre la pauvreté, les discriminations et l'expansion de leur établissement. Apparus simultanément, ces trois types d'activisme furent jugés particulièrement menaçants par l'Administration Daley, ce qui explique l'intensité de la répression à laquelle les activistes furent confrontés.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of the Chicago Conspiracy trial of 1969-1970, where eight radical leaders were tried in connection to the riots during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the meanings of the trial to American society in 1970 and from today's historical vantage point. Differing from first-hand accounts of the trial in the early 1970s, this study examines the different public perspectives of the trial through the use of such primary sources as underground newspapers, the defendants' writings, and appeals documents. Particular attention is devoted to the interpersonal relationships between the leading participants of the trial (the judge, attorneys, defendants, jurors, journalists, and spectators).The thesis is organized to highlight the major issues and controversies of the trial, while still addressing the personalities involved in the case. The context of the trial in an era of active American radicalism is examined both before and after the case was tried. An entire chapter is devoted to examining the diverse participants in the trial and the different roles they played in the event. Since the trial was so controversial because of legal issues and the conduct of the courtroom participants, a chapter has been devoted to both of these areas. Paticular attention is paid to events precipitating the prosecution of the eight radicals, including the Chicago Convention disorders and the federal grand jury that handed down the indictments. This organization lays a foundation for exploring the contemporary and historical significances of the trial in the conclusion of the study.

Full textAbstract:
Le but de cette thèse est l'analyse du blues en tant que cérémonie fortement dramatisée englobant plusieurs disciplines artistiques. Nous analysons le phénomène de théâtralisation du blues, comprenant les éventuelles relations d'anciens rituels avec celui-ci. Nous examinons comment le blues a été utilisé en tant que modèle par des dramaturges à la recherche d'un art ethnique authentique renfermant toutefois des qualités esthétiques modernes, ainsi que l'émergence d'un mouvement d'artistes exploitant le blues en tant que poésie orale. Nous abordons la reconnaissance et la préservation du blues dans la communauté africaine-américaine de Chicago en nous reposant sur des entretiens. La mise en archives et ses problèmes ainsi que l'intérêt des documents audiovisuels sont également considérés. Nous nous livrons alors à une étude pour déterminer si le blues se rapproche de pratiques culturelles africaines. Nous concluons qu'il existe quelques retentions, apparentes dans la théâtralité du bluesman, des rites de vénération d'une déité africaine. Le blues est une musique festive qui tend vers une forme d'expression totale ayant en grande partie comme conséquence de transmettre le mémoire ancestraleThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the blues as a highly theatrical ceremony encompassing various art forms. The first part studies the dramatization process of the blues including the possible links with ancien rituals. A discussion of the blues as a model for playwrights in search of a genuine folk expression bearing modern aesthetics is introduced and the emergence of an artistic movement exploiting the blues as oral poetry is examined. Then, the recognition and the preservation of the blues in Chicago's african-american community is investigated with interviews of renowned blues personalities relating their own experiences. Moreover, documenting the blues through audio as well as visual media is argued as the best method. The work then examines the connection between the blues and african cultural practices. It is concluded that one finds significant retentions in the theatricality of the bluesman as veneration rituals of an african deity. It is argued that the blues performance is a festive celebration and the critical ingredient to a total experience whose consequence is largely to transmit the ancestral memory

Full textAbstract:
Alors que le community organizing constitue aujourd’hui l'une des formes d'action collective les plus légitimes aux États-Unis, encourageant la participation de classes populaires urbaines que tout exclut du champ politique, les conditions de possibilité de cette participation improbable restent peu étudiées. À partir d'une enquête ethnographique et sociohistorique menée à Chicago, berceau historique de ce répertoire d’action, cette thèse se penche sur le groupe de professionnel·le·s, les community organizers, qui font exister une participation et une représentation politiques profanes. Pourtant, contrairement aux arguments classiques de la sociologie politique, ces professionnel·le·s refusent de parler au nom du groupe mobilisé, la community, se mettant activement en retrait derrière des porte-parole populaires qu’ils et elles sélectionnent et forment. Que dit l’étude de ce rôle des liens entre institutionnalisation, professionnalisation et politisation/dépolitisation ? Pour saisir les ressorts de cette dissociation originale entre professionnel·le et porte-parole et ses effets sur la division du travail politique, on montre comment ce rôle de « faiseur de représentants » émerge, se consolide et se légitime à partir des années 1970, à la frontière entre, d’une part, la tradition d'intervention sociale héritée des initiatives réformatrices des premières décennies du XXe siècle, et d’autre part les pratiques contestataires héritées des mouvements sociaux des années 1960 et 1970. La thèse expose ensuite comment ce rôle hybride, où revendication d’expertise professionnelle et travail de mobilisation et de politisation sont indissociables, se manifeste dans des pratiques quotidiennes de mise en représentation populaire. Celles-ci s’inscrivent dans un espace d’intermédiation largement déterminé par des relations d’interdépendance avec d'autres espaces et champs concurrents (champs politique et philanthropique, « espace des mouvements sociaux ») qui échappent aux porte-parole profanes. Enfin, en déplaçant la focale vers les trajectoires des community organizers, de leurs dispositions à l'engagement aux modalités de maintien dans le rôle ou de reconversion dans d’autres espaces professionnels en passant par l'incorporation en acte de ce sens pratique militant pragmatique, on voit néanmoins que devenir community organizer peut confirmer ou enclencher des dynamiques de politisation individuelleCommunity organizing is one of the most legitimate forms of collective action in the United States today, fostering the participation of urban working classes that are structurally excluded from the political field. And yet, the conditions of possibility of such socially unlikely participation have received little scholarly attention. Based on an ethnographic and sociohistorical inquiry conducted in Chicago, the historic birthplace of that repertoire of collective action, my goal in this dissertation is to address this gap by focusing on the group of professionals, called community organizers, who make popular and lay political participation and representation possible. The central paradox here is that, contrary to what the literature in political sociology usually argues, these professionals refuse to speak on behalf of the mobilized community, actively stepping back behind the spokespeople they select and train. What does the study of this role say about the links between processes of institutionalization, professionalization and politicization/depoliticization? In order to make sense of the original dissociation between the professional’s role and that of the spokesperson and understand how it affects the division of political work, the dissertation shows how the role of “leader-maker” has emerged, taken shape and been legitimized from the 1970s onwards, at the junction of, on the one hand, the reform-minded community organization tradition dating back to the early 20th century, and on the other, the legacy of the contentious politics of the 1960s and 1970s. I then shift the focus to what this hybrid role, where claims of professional expertise and mobilization and politicization cannot be disentangled, actually looks like in terms of daily practices developing popular representation. These practices occur within a space of political intermediation broadly shaped by networks of interdependencies with other competing sectors (the political and philanthropic fields, the “space of social movement”) which are beyond the lay spokespeople’s reach. By looking at organizers’ individual trajectories, however – from their social dispositions towards commitment to the actual incorporation of this pragmatic practical sense and the ways individuals can stay in the field or exit the role towards other career opportunities – the research shows that becoming an organizer can confirm or initiate dynamics of individual politicization

The study describes urban morphology and design strategies in the form of thoughts, imagination, and reality. It is a visual and verbal narrative that uses the metaphor of a Vertical Island as a viable tool. The criteria investigated relate to American cities, yet also to the city in general. The final design is the precise architectural translation of my first narrative For Elise and Forever / Repeating Islands: a Typology of a Living City, the story of a girl on a journey into her world of thoughts, fancying a city built at a right angle. The following work studies and reflects the urban qualities that are not only unique to European but also to American and, yet common to all cities. It represents a touchable and visible proposal of a healthy union of advantages and a living system where patterns repeat across time and scales. Participating in the world as a trade center, The Vertical Island PRAGMATOPIA: a Story of Translations, Real Dreams, and Other Cities brings a piece of the European city to the United States as well as a bit of the American city to Europe.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur différentes formes d'interaction entre photographie et logement social à Chicago, sur une période qui va de la création de la Chicago Housing Authority et de la construction des premiers bâtiments à la fin des années 1930, jusqu'à l'annonce officielle d'un changement de paradigme en 2000 avec la démolition de la majeure partie du parc. À partir de sources institutionnelles, d'un examen des images de la presse locale et de l'analyse de différents projets photographique qui prennent le logement social pour objet au cours de la période, elle ressaisit la place de la photographie dans les définitions et évaluations publiques du programme, de ses bâtiments et de ses résidents. L'échelle locale est celle où se mène la politique de logement social aux États-Unis, par le biais d'une agence municipale, mais c'est aussi l'échelle où cette politique est vue et montrée de la façon la plus continue. La thèse examine donc le rapport entre un paysage construit qui est en soi visible dans l'espace, et des modes d'existence « en images » de ce même paysage et de ses communautés habitantes. Une politique de communication visuelle ambitieuse de la part d'une institution réformiste (la Chicago Housing Authority des premières décennies) laisse place à l'émergence de discours critiques à partir des années 1960 ; à toutes les étapes de l'histoire considérée, la documentation et l'illustration photographique sert à attester, et l'acte de montrer sert à démontrer. La thèse étudie précisément la participation de certains usages et de certaines formules photographiques dans les mécanismes de stigmatisation ou au contraire de défense des projects et de leurs résidents, pour distinguer la part du visuel dans les représentations. Par ailleurs, de la construction à la démolition, les images photographiques sont prises dans des discours non seulement sur ce qu'il faut penser du logement social, mais aussi sur ce qu'il faut en faire. La thèse fait donc une histoire des pratiques autant qu'une histoire des formes, et prend pour objet la participation des images et usages photographiques à des phénomènes et modes d'action apparemment non visuels (gestion des logements sociaux, processus judiciaires, mobilisations politiques). Les images photographiques apparaissent finalement comme un médium de la vie socialeThis dissertation focuses on different modes of interaction between photography and public housing in Chicago, during an extended period of time that goes from the establishment of the Chicago Housing Authority and the first constructions (in the late 1930s) to an official change of paradigm in 2000 with the demolition of the most part of the conventional public housing stock in Chicago. Through the analysis of institutional sources, images in the local press, and different photographic projects that focus on public housing during the period, this thesis shows the part played by photography in the public definition and assessment of the public housing program and its buildings and residents. The local scope of the dissertation corresponds to the level at which public housing policies are implemented in the United States, via a city-based agency, but also to the urban scale at which these policies are the most continuously visible and made visible. The dissertation thus considers the relationship between a constructed landscape – which has its own visibility – and image-based modes of public existence of the same landscape and its inhabitants. An ambitious visual communication policy on the part of a reform-minded institution (the Chicago Housing Authority in its first decades) gives way to new critical discourses starting from the 1960 ; through all the history under consideration here, photographic documentation and illustration is used as evidence, and showing is a way of proving. The dissertation studies the part played by some uses of photography and some specific photographic formulas in the actual production of stigmatization, and conversely in the defense of the projects and their inhabitants; it thus becomes possible to assess what is distinctly visual in representation. In addition, from construction to demolition, photographic images are involved in discourses about what should be thought of public housing projects but also in discourses about what should done about them. The dissertation is therefore concerned with practices as much as with forms and their evolution, and it focuses on the participation of images in apparently non-visual processes – such as the management of public housing projects, legal action, or political mobilization. Photographic images come into focus as a medium of social life

Full textAbstract:
Un marché est liquide si les intervenants peuvent acheter et vendre à tout instant, sans perte au niveau du prix et cela même pour des quantités importantes. La liquidité d'un actif repose sur deux dimensions : le temps et le prix. Sa mesure est appréciée à travers différentes approches. L'objectif est de considérer le problème de la mesure de la liquidité des marchés continus, en proposant une nouvelle mesure par une approche différente et en apportant une méthodologie des mesures traditionnelles. La thèse est composée de trois parties. La première est consacrée à une présentation des mesures de la liquidité des marchés continus, ("bid-ask spread" et profondeur). Nous montrons que compte tenu de limites, une autre approche peut être définie. Dans la deuxième partie, nous définissons une nouvelle mesure de la liquidité. Il s'agit du délai d’attente nécessaire pour échanger une quotité d'actif, ce délai correspondant à une politique de prix optimale. Ainsi, la formalisation de la mesure suppose initialement la détermination de la stratégie optimale de placement des ordres pour un investisseur qui désire échanger rapidement. Enfin, nous proposons une méthodologie différente concernant la profondeur. Elle est appliquée au marché des options de Chicago (CBOE)An asset is more liquid if it is "more certainly realisable at short notice without loss". This concept involves two dimensions : short time and predictable price. The measure suppose several approachs. The aim of this thesis is to appreciate the problem of the liquidity's measure, to propose a new measure (by a new approach) and to propose a new methodology for the others. The thesis include three parts. Its first part has the objective to present measures defined by cost of the liquidity : bid-ask spread and market's septh (large trade's impact on the price). Some limits about these measures involve a new approach. Its second part is centred on the proposition of a new measure defined as the expected time to change the financial asset and following the optimal policy. First, we propose a model about the order placement strategy. Second. We propose a model to evaluate the expected time. The last part is about a new methodology to evaluate market's depth. Then we examine the liquidity of the chicago board options exchange (market's depth and spreads)

Full textAbstract:
The New Negro Movement, also referred to as the New Negro Renaissance or Harlem Renaissance, was a blossoming of literature, music, and visual art that took place in northern urban African American communities circa 1925 through the mid-1930s. To date, scholars examining this historical period have largely focused on the Harlem area in New York, hence the popular catchphrase used to describe the times, "the Harlem Renaissance." Certainly, Harlem artists were prolific and the work they produced was significant in the ways in which it conveyed to the public the message of racial uplift and pride in African heritage embedded within the New Negro Movement. Nevertheless, African Americans residing in other major cities, such as Chicago, also were demonstrating significant developments in all aspects of the arts. In my dissertation, "Chicago and the Visual Art of the New Negro Movement, 1920s-1940," I undertake an in-depth examination of the African American visual arts scene in Chicago during this period, and analyze the manner in which the work of Chicago artists fit into the national discourse of the New Negro Movement. The many and varied accomplishments of these artists, coupled with their roles as agents for social change, make them attractive and significant research interests, well deserving of a place in the art history canon. My dissertation will help fill an important gap in the history of American art and of the African American ‘New Negro’ period.

Cette thèse examine l'évolution des fonctions et responsabilités des enseignants et directeurs d'école d'un des plus larges systèmes scolaires urbains américains à une période de vastes réformes éducatives. Dans les années 1890-1930, à Chicago, différents acteurs du monde de l'éducation participent à l'élaboration d'un nouveau modèle professionnel pour l'enseignement afin, notamment, d'améliorer la qualité des écoles publiques et de leur personnel. Une de leurs interrogations porte sur la définition et l'attribution du leadership : sur quels critères et à qui accorder la responsabilité de guider les élèves, les membres de la profession et la société chicagolaise dans son ensemble vers le progrès ? L'étude conjointe des réflexions alors menées en matière de normes professionnelles et des représentations et de l'exercice du métier par des enseignants et des directeurs d'école révèle que, loin de se limiter à un pouvoir de direction réservé aux plus hautes fonctions dans la hiérarchie du système scolaire, le leadership dans l'enseignement prend de multiples formes et concerne une variété d'acteurs. Émerge alors un portrait des enseignants et des directeurs d'école comme des professionnels agissant pour le bien commun et capables de prendre des initiatives et des responsabilités à la fois dans leur environnement professionnel et dans leur vie socialeThis research focuses on the evolution of the roles and responsibilities of school teachers and principals in one of the largest urban American school systems during a time of major educational reforms. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, groups of educators in Chicago produced a new professional model of teaching designed to improve the quality of public school education and faculty. One of their preoccupations was to define and attribute leadership: who should be responsible for leading the pupils, the profession, and the local community towards progress, and how should they be selected? Close analysis of the new professional norms educators promoted, of the ways in which teachers and principals represented their work and themselves, and of their activities in their professional and social lives paints a more expansive picture of educational leadership than we have imagined. It shows that it was not limited to supervision and decision-making by the upper echelons of the school system, but took on more diverse forms and had a wider variety of actors. This study shows that principals and teachers were professionals and active community leaders working for the common good both inside and outside the classroom

This creative project for the Master of Architecture degree focuses on the building design and landscape design of a urban development, in particular on the mixed cultural basis of deteriorating inner city neighborhoods in the U.S. A.I have lived in America for over two years. During this time, I acquired substantial knowledge on environments and architecture from traveling and studying. Then, I found the characteristics of a mixed culture in this country. We all know that the Chinese people are an important group in America, and they work hard to establish and contribute to the American culture, economy, and environment, now and forever. Although Chinese Americans do not comprise a large portion of the U.S. population, the Chinese patterns of architecture have had some impact on American culture as a whole. However, Chinatown has become a major element in the fabric of many cities in the U.S.A., like Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C. For this reason, I chose to explore the design of a new environment for Chinese immigrants in the U.S.A.The topics of this thesis work are the design of the convention center and the planning of Chinatown Square Project. I tried to apply concepts from the Chinese culture, my experience, and professional education in Taiwan, the Republic of China and America. Therefore, the site plan of Chinatown Square Project was designed according to the Chinese Courtyard System. The tower shape of the hotel of the convention center is the transition of the Pagoda. Moreover, the idea of the curved roof comes from the Chinese bowl and tile. Finally, I merged a western feel, and an eastern spirit in the whole design process.I dedicate this thesis to the community of Chinatown in Chicago and America.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se concentre sur le Black Arts Movement (BAM) tel qu’il prit forme à Chicago dans les années 1960 et 1970. Encore largement absent dans l’historiographie de la lutte des Noir.e.s pour la liberté (Black Freedom Struggle), la « sœur esthétique et spirituelle » du mouvement Black Power s’inscrivit pourtant de façon puissante dans la longue histoire du militantisme noir aux États-Unis. Chicago, l’une des villes les plus ségréguées du Nord du pays, tint en outre une place particulière dans le mouvement et dans la construction de sa philosophie du nationalisme culturel. Au-delà du fait que ce fut la ville du BAM où le plus de genres artistiques furent représentés (arts visuels, littérature, théâtre, musique, danse), la « ville des vents » fut également celle où les organisations du mouvement perdurèrent le plus longtemps — plusieurs existent encore aujourd’hui. L’un des objectifs de cette thèse est donc de tenter de comprendre les raisons de cette résilience, en étudiant notamment la politique de l’espace propre aux réalisations du BAM à Chicago ainsi que les ponts générationnels forts qui se construisirent au sein et autour du mouvement. L’originalité de ce travail consiste également en sa mise en exergue des questions de genre, cruciales à toute compréhension profonde du BAM et pourtant encore largement minimisées. Souvent décrit comme sexiste et hétérosexiste, le Black Arts Movement fut en fait bien plus complexe que certain.e.s aimeraient le croire. Les femmes artistes noires de Chicago y jouèrent notamment des rôles organisationnels clés et elles contribuèrent à faire reculer la misogynie de nombreux de leurs homologues masculins. Elles articulèrent par ailleurs leurs propres mises en pratique de l’autodéfinition chère au BAM et luttèrent contre les stéréotypes avilissants dans lesquels on essayait souvent de les faire rentrer. En affirmant leur droit à la complexité et en s’inscrivant dans une longue lignée de foremothers, les écrivaines et artistes du BAM participèrent ainsi à la création d’une « pensée féministe noire ». Cette étude s’applique in fine à montrer que le BAM, comme les individus en son sein, ne peut s’appréhender de façon linéaire et étroite puisqu’il fut multidimensionnel et continue d’échapper à toute définition monolithiqueThis dissertation focuses on the Black Arts Movement (BAM) in 1960s and 1970s Chicago. The “aesthetic and spiritual sister” of the Black Power Movement has been largely understudied in the historiography of the Black Freedom Struggle, yet it is thoroughly woven into the long history of African American activism in the United States. As one of the most segregated cities of the American North, Chicago held a unique place in the movement and in its fashioning of cultural nationalism. Not only was it the city where the BAM took the greatest variety of artistic forms (visual arts, literature, theatre, music, dance) but the movement in the “Windy City” also produced some its most perennial organisations, several of them still being active today. This study partly aims at shedding the light on the reasons behind this resilience by emphasizing the specific twofold spatial politics of the BAM in Chicago as well as the many intergenerational exchanges having occurred both within and around the movement. Besides, this work’s originality lies in its articulation of the complex gender issues at stake in the Black Arts Movement, which have repeatedly been played down in spite of being crucial to any thorough understanding of the movement. While it has often been described as sexist and heterosexist, the BAM was actually much more complex than some might think. For instance, Chicago’s Black women artists had key organizational roles and they largely contributed to resisting the misogyny of many of their male counterparts. They articulated their own implementations of the BAM’s emphasis on self-definition and fought the demeaning stereotypes that were often imposed on them. As they asserted their right to complexity and called on a lineage of foremothers, BAM women writers and artists helped forge the “black feminist thought.” This study eventually endeavours to complicate any linear and narrow understanding of the Black Arts Movement and the individuals in its midst, for the movement was multifaceted and continues to escape any monolithic definition

Full textAbstract:
Chicago se situe au premier rang des grandes metropoles nord-americaines en matiere de segregation. Traiter des relations inter-raciales dans un tel contexte requiert non seulement d'analyser les rapports entre communautes ethniques, mais aussi les regles qui regissent ces relations ainsi que les enjeux socio-economiques et politiques qu'elles impliquent. La repartition dans l'espace urbain et les chances de reussite des habitants de chicago, ont ete determinees par les periodes de croissance de la ville et par un ensemble d'acteurs institutionnels. Une analyse plus poussee des realites sociologiques de chicago tend a montrer qu'une des consequences les plus significatives de la segregation est la rupture dans les reseaux de contacts sociaux. Aussi constate-t=on d'importantes disparites a chicago, sur le marche de l'emploi, ainsi que dans le domaine de la sante ou de l'education. L'abandon institutionnel, la concentration dans certains quartiers, le manque d'information et la discrimination raciale sont a l'origine de ces disparites. A chicago, l'opinion publique assimile volontiers la violence urbaine, a l'existence d'une culture de la pauvrete ou d'un "sous-proletariat urbain". Mais des etudes plus poussees de la violence ont montre qu'elle etait souvent une reponse a une serie de changements politiques et economiques conduisant a une polarisation des classes et des races et a une dualite du milieu urbain. Parallelement, les communautes ethniques pauvres sont celles qui manquent le plus de representation politique a chicago. Les alliances, en particulier entre latinos et afro-americains, sont complexes et changeantes. S'il est vrai que les deux communautes partagent beaucoup de problemes, les leaders hispaniques pretendent ne pas recevoir leur part des avancees sociales, alors que les afro-americains les accusent de profiter de mesures d'action positive qui leur etaient destinees en premier lieuChicago rates first among other large american cities as far as segregation is concerned. Studying race relations in such a context thus implies the analysis of relations between communities as well as the rules and political or socio-economic implications of these relations. Chicago's periods of economic growth have given shape to the city's ethnic and class make-up along with the decisions made in the past by major institutional actors. Sociological realities in chicago show that one of the most striking consequences of segregation is the lack of social contacts. Large disparities exist in the job market, in education, and in access to health care. Institutional disengagement, spatial isolation, and the lack of information, as well as racial discrimination can explain these disparities. In chicago, urban violence is often related in public opinion to the existence of an urban underclass. Eventhough studies about violence have shown it is often an answer to a series of political and economic changes leading to class polarization and urban dualization. In the mean time the ethnic poor are the less represented in chicago politics. Alliances--especially between latinos and afro-americans-- are complex and changing coallitions. Although the two communities have much in common, the hispanic leaders tend to claim their part of social progress while afro-americans fear they take advantage of their own past experience

Resumo: Tendo em conta a importância dos espaços públicos como lugares referenciais da cidade, que como tal são portadores de significados atribuídos coletivamente, a pesquisa aborda a questão da dimensão artística do urbanismo com relação à idéia de lugar e sua construção simbólica na cidade. Com base na visão crítica de dois autores seminais - Camillo Sitte, que registra o momento da transformação da cidade diante do advento industrial, e a consequente perda de seu senso artístico geral; e Giulio Carlo Argan, que aponta a crise da cidade contemporânea como uma crise de um sistema de valores que relega a ideia da cidade como artefato, e como uma crise da ideia mesma de arte; e ainda de uma série de autores dialógicos com a questão - desenvolve-se o estudo do caso de Chicago. Seu plano diretor, o Plano de Chicago, estabeleceu, na primeira década do século XX, as bases do desenvolvimento da cidade que conhecemos hoje. O plano, além de definir as diretrizes relativas aos sistemas técnicos da cidade, tratou também dos espaços públicos visando sua qualificação artística e simbólica. A experiência de campo em Chicago confirma o vínculo da arte pública com a vida cultural da cidade. Os lugares onde há o elemento artístico transformam-se em marcos urbanos, em referenciais identitários das comunidades e da cidade como um todo. Doações e fundos públicos mantêm e ampliam o acervo público, com a inclusão sistemática de elementos de arte pública nas praças e parques da cidade
Abstract: Considering the importance of public space as a city reference and that as such it must carry a meaning that is collectively attributed; this research approaches the artistic dimension of urbanism as related to the idea of space and its symbolic construction of the city. Based on the critical vision of two fundamental authors - Camillo Sitte, who registers the moment of the city transformation upon industrial advent, losing its general artistic sense; and Giulio Carlo Argan, who points out to the crisis of the contemporary city as a crisis of a system of values that relegates the idea of the city as an artifact, and as a crisis of the idea of art in itself; and a series of provocative authors, comes through Chicago's case study. Its master plan, the Plano of Chicago, established in the first decade of the twentieth century, is the basis for the development of the city as we know it today. The plan, besides defining directives concerning the technical systems of the city, covered also the city's public spaces, concerning its artistic and symbolic qualification. The field experience in Chicago confirms the link between public art and cultural life of the city. Where there is the artistic element the point is transformed in urban landmarks, in references that build the community and city's identity as a whole. Donations and public funds sustain and enhance growth of public collection, with systematic inclusion of elements of public art in parks and plazas

Full textAbstract:
En puisant d’une part dans une tradition propre à la communauté africaine-américaine d’entretenir et d’étendre les liens familiaux et communautaires et d’autre part dans la tradition de l’ « activist mothering », les femmes africaines américaines se sont organisées au sein de leur communauté pour faire face aux problèmes qu’elles rencontrent en société. S’étant fédérées autour des deux combats abolitionniste et suffragiste au cours du 19e siècle et dans les réseaux préexistants des églises afro-américaines, cette solidarité donnera naissance au tournant du XXème siècle à un réseau de clubs de femmes noires activistes. En effet, le mouvement de clubs de femmes noires reposa sur une tradition de self-help, issue de l’idéologie de l’ « uplift ». Cette étude traverse donc le vingtième siècle, jusqu’à nos jours, et décrit les stratégies des réformatrices noires contemporaines, tout particulièrement au sein du West Side Chapter du National Council of Negro Women à Chicago, qui, tout en s’adaptant aux besoins évolutifs de la communauté, illustre des éléments d’héritage et une survivance de leur activisme. Les femmes afro-américaines organisent leur communauté à travers un processus d’empowerment et se placent dans un double mouvement de changement de conscience des individus et de transformation sociale des institutions. C’est donc un activisme empreint de pragmatisme mais dont la visée est politique. Il doit se comprendre dans la situation d’oppression constante dont sont historiquement victimes les Afro-Américains au sein de la Nation américaine. C’est donc des stratégies de résistance qui sont décrites dans ce travail, qui soulignent la résilience et les ressources des femmes noires en milieu défavorisé.L’importance de la famille dans les démarches de cette association va illustrer une continuité avec les préoccupations premières des clubs du début du XXème siècle. La forme de famille encouragée par l’association Sankofa Safe Child Initiative met en effet en lumière une circulation facilitée des enfants au sein des familles afro-américaines à l’étude et ce depuis plusieurs générations. Cette « tradition » qui se perpétue sera mise en lien avec les phénomènes de fosterage, courant en Afrique et de par le monde, bien qu’ici en seront spécifiés le mode ainsi que la fonction c’est-à-dire un usage stratégique de la famille au sein de cette communauté pour faire face aux défis qui se posent à elle, particulièrement en milieu hostileSpawning from a tradition of maintaining and extending kinship and community ties, and secondly from a tradition of activist mothering, African American women have organized within their community to solve the predicaments they face in society. From their organizing experience in the abolitionist movement as well as the early women’s movement of the 19th century and relying on the networks they established through their church work, an African American club movement formed at the turn of the 20th century. Indeed, the Black women’s club movement built upon a tradition of self-help, defined by the uplift ideology. As this thesis spans the twentieth century till today, this essay describes the strategies employed by contemporary African American women reformers, specifically the West Side chapter of the National Council of Negro Women in Chicago, who constantly adapt to the evolving needs of their community but still inherited from this legacy.Through an empowerment process, African American women seek to change the people’s consciousness and transform social institutions. It is an activism with a pragmatic edge but a political goal. Acknowledging the oppression weighing on the African American community, the strategies described in this study are strategies of resistance, with a particular interest in the resilience and the resources of Black women in the underserved communities.The focus on family issues in these associations’ approach shows a continuity with the primary preoccupations of the clubs at the turn of the century. The form of the family promoted by the association Sankofa Safe Child Initiative sheds light on a facilitated circulation of children among the African American families under study, through several generations. This “tradition” will be linked to the fosterage phenomenon, current in Africa and other parts of the world, of which the mode as well as the function will be specified, notably a strategic use of the family within the underserved African American community to face challenges in a hostile environment
