Pettersson, Hannes. ""Kissing Cousins" : En kritisk diskursanalys av hur homosexualitet framställs i utvalda anime och hur de behandlats i de amerikanska versionerna av dessa." Thesis, Karlstad University, Faculty of Economic Sciences, Communication and IT, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-1732.
Full textUppsatsens syfte är att se hur homosexuella diskurser är framställda i utvalda japanska tecknade TV-serier för barn, samt hur dessa ändrats när dessa TV-serier importerats till USA.
Med utgångspunkt från Norman Faircloughs diskursanalytiska modell har nyckelscener från de utvalda TV-serierna Cardcaptor Sakura och Sailor Moon analyserats från ett queerteoretiskt perspektiv.
I de anime jag analyserat är homosexuella respektfullt gestaltade och det är sällan fokuserat på homosexualiteten. Dock förekommer vissa heteronormativa mönster som att maskulint och feminint kompletterar varandra även i samkönade par. Homosexualitet är dessutom inte alltid så tydligt framställt vilket kan tyda på osynliggörande eller inkludering på samma villkor som heterosexualitet. I de amerikanska versionerna har homosexualitet helt censurerats genom klipp i scener och ändrade dialoger. I ett fall har en man gjorts om till kvinna så att förhållandet istället blivit heterosexuellt och i ett annat fall har ett kärlekspar gjorts om till kusiner.
The purpose of the thesis is to explore how homosexual discourses are represented in chosen japanese children’s cartoons (anime) and how these have been altered when imported to the USA.
With benchmark of Norman Fairclough’s discourse analysis model, key scenes from the chosen anime Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon have been analysed from a queer theoretical perspective.
In the anime I have studied, homosexual characters are represented with respect and it's rarely focused on homosexuality. However, some heteronormative patterns appear in the sense of masculinity and femininity being supplements also when it comes to same-sex couples. Moreover homosexuality is not always obvious in it's representations, which can either be a sign of trying to make it invisible or include it on the same conditions as heterosexuality. In the American versions, homosexuality has been totally censored with methods such as scene cuts and altered dialouges. In one case a man was made into a woman, making the relationship heterosexual. In another case a couple was made into cousins instead of lovers.

Full textThe aim of this work was to determine if the protein Majastridin found in the proteobacterium Rhodobacter blasticus has a functional relative in the hypothetical protein Q1U8S3/ B3XNV1 found in Lactobacillus reuteri. To be able to study the protein, it was overexpressed in E. coli-cells and purified. As a starting material, the L. reuteri Q1U8S3 gene previously cloned into a pET SUMO vector from Invitrogen was used. The produced protein will be a fusion protein containing a His6-tag, a SUMO-protein and the protein of interest. A nickel column in combination with a gel filtration column was used to purify the protein and after purification, crystallization experiments were set up using standardized kits.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Invasive species are among the most important global conservation threats. Their management is one of the key conservation challenges that will have to be addressed in the next few decades. The study of real invasions and their management in natural ecosystems provides an opportunity to gain important information on theoretical and applied aspects of biological invasions. This project focuses on the broader ecological context of invasive ant management in an ecologically sensitive island habitat. The thesis has three main components: 1) assessing the role of the invasive ant Pheidole megacephala in the ecosystem and evaluating its threat to the system, 2) evaluating a low-impact management program for the ant, and 3) using a community-level approach to assess ecosystem response to ant removal. The ant occupied almost 30% of the island‘s total land area and reached extremely high densities in some areas. The ant was associated with exotic hemipteran scale insects through trophobiotic mutualisms that facilitated high ant and hemipteran abundances. The highly destructive scale insect Pulvinaria urbicola was among the hemipterans that benefited from ant attendance. High levels of hemipteran feeding resulted in dieback of functionally important and threatened native Pisonia trees, which represented a significant threat to the forest ecosystem. A management program was initiated in response to this threat, consisting of baiting with selective hydramethylnon-based bait delivered in bait stations, accompanied by detailed pre-and post-baiting monitoring. The method was highly effective at suppressing the ants, whilst preventing bait uptake by non-target organisms. It was also cost-effective and adaptable to ant density in the field, but was only effective over short distances. The method may be applicable to other sensitive environments with similar challenges. After ant control, the ant-scale mutualism was decoupled and the Pu. urbicola population collapsed. There were variable responses in different taxa to the removal of these highly abundant exotic species, the most important of which was the recovery in Pisonia trees. Shoot condition and foliage density improved and there was a decrease in sooty mold. Herbivory on Pisonia increased due to recovery of native canopy herbivores, but the overall impact was far less than that of the exotic hemipterans. Soil surface arthropods, a group that may have been vulnerable to the treatment method, were unaffected by baiting. Instead, they increased significantly after ant removal, confirming the ant‘s impact on other arthropods. Other ant diversity and non-ant arthropod abundance increased post-baiting, including the endemic ant Pheidole flavens farquharensis and some functionally important insects such as the Indian cockroach. Natural enemies that interacted predictably with the mutualists were influenced by management. Predators of hemipterans increased significantly after ant removal and were instrumental in the scale population collapse, whereas parasitoids of hemipterans that benefited from the mutualism declined. Additionally, groups that were unrelated to the mutualism were indirectly influenced by management. The natural enemy assemblage as a whole showed recovery to pre-invasion conditions. The study shows how widely interconnected and influential the ant was in the ecosystem. It highlights the threat of the species in natural systems as well as the complex responses following invasive ant removal. Yet, it also demonstrates the potential to safely and effectively manage the species, thereby raising the opportunity for ecosystem recovery.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Indringerspesies is van die belangrikste globale bedreigings vir natuurbewaring. Hulle bestuur is van die grootste bewaringsuitdagings wat in die volgende paar dekades aangespreek moet word. Die studie van werklike invalle en hul bestuur in natuurlike ekosisteme bied 'n geleentheid om belangrike inligting te verkry oor teoretiese en toegepaste aspekte van biologiese indringing. Hierdie projek fokus op die breër ekologiese konteks van uitheemse mier bestuur in 'n ekologies sensitiewe eiland habitat. Die tesis het drie hoofkomponente: 1) die beoordeling van die rol van die indringer mier Pheidole megacephala in die ekosisteem en evaluering van sy bedreiging vir die sisteem, 2) die evaluering van 'n lae-impak bestuursprogram vir die mier, en 3) die gebruik van 'n gemeenskaps-vlak benadering om ekosisteem reaksie op mierverwydering te assesseer. Die mier het byna 30% van die totale landoppervlak van die eiland beslaan en het in party areas baie hoë digthede bereik. Die mier was geassosieer met uitheemse dopluis spesies in mutualismes wat hoë mier en dopluis getalle gefasiliteer het. Die hoogs beskadigende dopluis Pulvinaria urbicola was een van die spesies wat bevoordeel is deur die mutualisme. Hoë vlakke van dopluis voeding het die terugsterwe van funksioneel belangrike, bedreidge inheemse Pisonia bome veroorsaak, wat ʼn groot bedreiging vir die ekosisteem verteenwoordig het. ‗n Bestuursprogram is geïmplimenteer as gevolg van hierdie bedreiging, wat bestaan het uit selektiewe hidrametielnoon-gebaseerde lokaas wat in die veld geplaas is in lokaashouers, vergesel deur intensiewe monitering voor en na lokaasplasing. Die metode was hoogs effektief in die onderdrukking van die miere en het lokaasinname deur nie-teiken organismes verhoed. Dit was ook koste-effektief en aanpasbaar volgens mierdigtheid in die veld, maar was slegs effektief oor kort afstande. Die metode mag van toepassing wees in ander sensitiewe omgewings met soortgelyke uitdagings. Na mierbeheer is die mier-dopluis mutualisme ontkoppel en die Pu. urbicola bevolking het drasties verminder. Daar was verskillende reaksies in verskillende taxa tot die verwydering van die oorvloedryke eksotiese spesies, maar die belangrikste reaksie was die herstel van Pisonia bome. Spruittoestand en blaardigtheid het verbeter en daar was ʼn afname in roetskimmel. Herbivorie op Pisonia het toegeneem as gevolg van ʼn herstel in inheemse herbivore, maar die algehele impak was veel minder as dié van die eksotiese dopluis. Grondoppervlak gelidpotiges, 'n groep wat kwesbaar kon wees vir die behandelingsmetode, was onaangeraak deur die lokaas, maar het beduidend na mierverwydering vermeerder. Mierdiversiteit het vermeerder en die Seychelles endemiese mier Pheidole flavens farquharensis is hervestig. Ander gelidpotiges het ook vermeerder, insluitend funksioneel belangrike spesies soos die Indiese kakkerlak. Natuurlike vyande wat geassosieer was met die mutualiste is beïnvloed deur die mierbestuur. Predatore van dopluis het beduidend toegeneem na mierverwydering en was hoogs betrokke by die vermindering van dopluis, terwyl parasiete van dopluis, wat voordeel getrek het uit die mutualisme, gedaal het. Daarbenewens is groepe wat onverwant was aan die mutualisme indirek beïnvloed deur mierbestuur. Die algehele natuurlike vyand gemeenskap het herstel na pre-indringing toestand. Die studie toon hoe wydverbind en invloedryk die mier was in die ekosisteem. Dit beklemtoon die bedreiging van die spesies in natuurlike stelsels asook die komplekse reaksies wat uitheemse mierverwydering volg. Tog demonstreer dit die potensiaal om die spesies veilig en doeltreffend te bestuur, en sodoende die geleentheid vir ekosisteemherstel te skep.

Full textCette thèse est organisé en trois chapitres: le premier chapitre traite de la naissance du daguerréotype et de sa propagation, de conditionnement, d'abord, à partir des besoins du progrès scientifique déterminés, pour une courte période, une plus grand diffusion des gravures de daguerréotype plutôt que ceux de calotype. D'où notre hypothèse d'un véritable art de la photographie a en effet pu commencer qu'avec la propagation de la procédure de Talbot , rendu public et mis au point par Blanquart Evrard.Le deuxième chapitre analyse le contexte philosophique contemporain à la diffusion des premières représentations photographiques.Cette œuvre se concentre, en particulier , sur la figure de Victor Cousin. Ce travail révèle en partie le climat historique et culturel dans lequel on va définir l'objet problématique de cette recherche. En fait , le beau de cette philosophe est une représentation vague de la nature qui, cependant, ne donnerait pas une relation directe avec les données des sens toujours présents.Le dernier chapitre conclut en examinant la dichotomie entre le beau et l’utile. La distinction est plus subtile qu'il n'y paraît à une première vue du traité: si les catégorisations traditionnelles parlaient de “arts utiles” et “beaux-arts”, Cousin garda seulement "utile" et "beau", cette position va permettre à tous les produits fabriqués la possibilité d'entrer dans le monde des arts, y compris la photographie. Il faut considérer que –dans le contexte– il été très diffusé la Scienza Nuova (traduit par Michelet ) de Vico, œuvre que Cousin commenta pendent ces leçons

La solució que es proposa és la redefinició del gènere Arctium al qual s'han transferit totes les espècies del llinatge Arctioide i s'han proposat els canvis nomenclaturals pertinents. Paral·lelament, mitjançant la tècnica del rellotge molecular, s'ha datat el complex Arctium-Cousinia en 19.1 ma, la separació dels llinatges Arctioide i Cousinioide en 14.8 ma i la diversificació dels esmentats llinatges en 9.7 ma i 8,7 ma, respectivament.
L'estudi sobre la genètica poblacional d'Arctium minus, realitzat mitjançant l'ús de microsatèl·lits dissenyats a aquest treball, ha mostrat que els patrons de variabilitat genètica de l'esmentada espècie són consistents amb les seves característiques biològiques: la seva capacitat d'autofecundació i el seu curt cicle de vida expliquen la seva baixa diversitat genètica, alts valors d'endogàmia i excés d'homozigots. La major part de la variabilitat genètica es troba entre poblacions a causa d'un baix flux gènic entre elles juntament amb la seva capacitat facultativa d'autofecundació. S'han detectat indicis de què A. Minus s'hauria refugiat al sud de la seva actual àrea de distribució durant les glaciacions del Pleistocè i posteriorment hauria recolonitzat Europa. Aquests patrons s'haurien vist emmascarats per influència recent de l'activitat humana i per esdeveniments de dispersió de llavors a llarga distància.
English summary:
This thesis is focused on the Arctium-Cousinia complex (Compositae, Cardueae-Carduinae), including Arctium L., Cousinia Cass. as one of the largest genera of the Compositae, Hypacanthium Juz. and Schmalhausenia C. Winkl. This group of genera has its highest diversity in the Irano-Turanian region and the mountains of Central Asia (Tien Shan and Pamir-Alaj). Arctium s.str. is Eurosiberian in distribution. Significant difficulties in generic delimitation in this complex arise from the incongruent distribution of several morphological, pollen, karyological and molecular characters.
The phylogeny obtained bears out the monophyly of the Arctium-Cousinia complex and its division in two monophyletic lineages named Arctioid and Cousinioid. Our analyses also show that Arctium and Cousinia as well as Cousinia subgenera Cynaroides and Hypacanthodes are not monophyletic. As a solution, a broadly monophyletic genus Arctium is proposed, including all the species belonging to the Arctioid lineage and we provide nomenclatural changes when necessary. In addition, using the molecular clock approach the Arctium-Cousinia complex is dated in 19.1 mya, the split of the Arctioid and Cousinioid lineages in 14.8 mya and the diversification of the lineages mentioned in 9.7 mya and 8,7 mya, respectively.
Regarding the population genetics of Arctium minus (Hill) Bernh., investigated using microsatellite markers developed for this study, the observed patterns of genetic variation are consistent with its life style. Low gene diversity, high inbreeding values and significant homozygote excess were recovered, factors linked with the self-pollination ability of A. minus and its short-life cycle. Most of the genetic variability is found among instead of within populations due to low gene flow altogether with its self-pollination ability. There are few signs which may suggest that A. minus adapted to the Pleistocene climatic changes in the European populations with putative refugia in the south of its present distribution from where the species might radiate northwards. It is also suggested that original biogeographic patterns in A. minus may have been blurred by human activity and by long distance seed dispersal.

Full text3D composite materials, which obtained by stitching or tufting, have many advantages compared to the 3D orthogonal weaves or interlocks. ln order to evaluate the potential of this new generation of 3D materials, some studies have been devoted to their mechanical properties. Other studies have focused on the influence of certain types of seams on the permeability of materials such as NCF (Non Crimp Fabrics).This thesis is to study the contribution of seams through the thickness of reinforcement 2D classic fabrics. This contribution is evaluated the mechanical properties and their permeability at the same time. Among many stitching parameters, the study focused on the influence of the stitching density. Three different seams densities were carried out through a robot available in our laboratory.ln terms of permeability, the stitched preforms were laminated those of identical unstitched preforms by using Tufting.The evaluation of permeability was conducted in an unsaturated regime through a small scale bench test by the unidirectional flow. With this method, the in-plane permeability tensor is obtained through the measured permeability in three directions : 0° (warp), 90° (weft) and 45°. The results show that the type of Tufting seams reduces the effect of anisotropy ratio Kl/K2. And it is obvious that the position of the stitching thread causes local permeability gradients very pronouncedly between the heart and the surface of the preform. For the purposes of the mechanical properties, six composite plates were made by the RTM process. To achieve mechanical properties through the thickness of the plates of 20 mm thick, stitched and unstitched performed were prepared. DIC (Digital Image Correlation) was used to detect the distribution of displacement fields during mechanical testing (tensile, compression and short bearn bending) in order to take account of the presence of seams within materials. The measured mechanical performance proved below expectations, particularly with regard to the characteristics in the third direction. Micrographie analysis of materials revealed the presence of porosity concentrated within, or near the seams. Moreover, the bends or kinks of seams were caused by compaction during closure of the RTM mold. By connecting with the permeability data, it appears that the presence of porosities in the seams is a consequence ofpermeability gradients that induce impregnation flow reclosing

Full textA "new philosophy" appeared at the end of the first empire, in France, while Royer-Collard delivered his lectures, in 1811, at the "Faculté des lettres de Paris". Royer-Collard made choice of the young Victor Cousin (born in 1792) as his substitute in 1815. As regards to the latter, he delivered a first series of lectures till 1820. - Concerning the beginning of a "new French philosophy", is it only an event which has to be studied within the field of history of ideas ? Must an approach of this doctrine analyze the theoretical content, independtly of the historical context ? Or is it necessary to elaborate some concepts in order to ovrcome the opposition between an "internalist" and an "externalist" analysis ? - The work proposes a study of different components of the doctrine of Victor Cousin, in a book published in 1992 and in different papers yet unpublished, and, first to all, it furnishes a critical edition of an unpublished manuscript ("manuscrit 1906, bibliothèque de la Sorbonne, cours du semestre d'hiver 1819-20"), with a philological and theoretical introduction. - The author argues that this philosophical doctrine is understandable only within an historical context, without any sort of historical reductionism

Baseado nesta divisão, em seguida é feita uma investigação de quais seriam os fatores determinantes do fenômeno. Os resultados indicam que o descasamento cambial e o baixo grau de aprofundamento financeiro estão fortemente associados com a presença do fenômeno.
This dissertation studies the positive correlation between country and currency risks observed in some countries. The presence of this phenomenon is harmful to the economies, since it brings more vulnerability to recessive shocks. The first aim of this paper is to identify the extension of this phenomenon by separating a sample of 25 countries in two groups: the one where the positive correlation is observed and the one where it is not. Based on that that taxonomy, it is implemented an investigation on what are the factors responsible for the phenomenon. The results show that exchange rate mismatch and underdeveloped financial markets are strongly associated with the presence of positive correlation between the two risks.

Full textAirbag inflator functioning is submitted to draconian safety rules for vehicle occupants. In this study, the inflator structure is a thin tube closed at both extremities, crimped and perforated with exit ports for combustion gas release. Prior to manufacturing, the pyrotechnic system undergoes validation (burst) tests. The latter consist in putting inflator combustion chamber under various dynamic pressure ramps until structure failure. This work aims at increasing the efficiency and at reducing validation tests number by using numerical simulation. In this work, we are interested in the numerical description of the dissipative response of the inflator material during the burst test induced by dynamic loading. The failure mode under ductile plastic damage is particularly studied. For obtaining reliable experimental results, a preliminary numerical study is carried out for optimising the geometry of curved samples (machined in thin small diameter tubes) regarding strain and stress fields in the gage length. The experimental campaign shows significant influence of strain hardening, plastic viscosity and ductile damage on inflator material behaviour. The GTN damage-plasticity model is used to describe the combined aforementioned effects, including cavity nucleation and growth laws as well as viscous plasticity potential. Numerical simulations considering the validation burst test problem is performed employing the engineering calculation code ABAQUS. Confrontation of numerical results with experimental ones is encouraging concerning prediction ability of the model

Full textThe efficient creation of virtual 3D content is a major issue in Computer Graphics industry and research. This thesis addresses the modeling of sewed 3D objects such as clothes, shoes or accessories from 2D sketched inputs. While existing related approaches are either based on multi-view inputs or on character dependent interfaces, we propose in this thesis to start from an annotated single-view input in order to create 3D content satisfying geometric constraints that are specific to fabric, such as developability, or fold appearance and distribution. Our goal is to exploit the expressiveness user-drawn sketches to guide the modeling of plausible objects, using a priori geometric knowledge.We first present a single-view reconstruction approach for symmetric piece-wise developable objects from an annotated photo. Using the assumption of mirror-symmetry along with properties of smooth developable surfaces, we propose a system able to lift in 3 the silhouette, borders and seams drawn on the picture and reconstruct the surface of the object. Our method also provides topology information on the object, allowing the computation of 2D patterns for each piece of developable surface, which is necessary for manufacturing.While most of existing sketch-based modeling methods for garments aim at reconstructing border lines drawn on top of a view of the 3D virtual mannequin to be dressed, our approach uses a single 2D sketch as input. Our method first extracts generic features relative to the style of the sketched garment expressed as garment proportions, tight areas, silhouette shapes and folds. In particular, we propose a dedicated approach to extract robustly folds characteristics, even in the case of garment with deep folds leading to partially occluded garment borders. In a second step, we synthesize on a target virtual character a 3D garment surface exhibiting similar style, while adapting to the target pose and morphology that may be drastically different from the one depicted the sketch

Full textFrom the perspective of poetics, the science of the principles of literary forms, the main goal of our study is to enhance the epic sphere in 19th century by studying the structural and thematic development of the heroic genre through the mystical theology. Working from some twenty rare pieces in an abundant corpus (most of them, unfairly forgotten by posterity, are the result of minores), we intend to prove that the epic of the 19thcentury, far from being confined to the classical tradition of the great totemic models from Antiquity, undergoes, after the Revolution, what we consider as a change of paradigm. Moving from a “heroic” epic, referring to Henry Corbin, to a so-called “mystical” epic, influenced by the revaluation of Dante, Milton and Klopstock’s works, the new romantic triad, the epic of the 19th century, supposed to organize society from a founding event, become exclusively prophetic by shifting its perspective from earth to heaven, from politics to metaphysics.Here is to be encountered the keystone of our dissertation, regarding the “critical relation” between literature and mysticism, which demonstrates the evolution of a genre henceforth dedicated to eschatological revelation and reintegration of the fallen soul. Beyond german idealism, we wish to emphasise that the authors of our corpus, educated in the purest catechetical tradition and affected by the new occult and illuminist currents, make the epic no longer a work of war, focused on the historical memory of national battles, but a mystagogic form that draws on mystical concepts to clarify its own running. Related to the revival of mystical studies in Europe since the late 20th century, our subject highlights the dialectic between mysticism, traditionally individual and intimate, and the epic, by global and universal definition, exploring the transformation and limits of the poetic form through the three ways defined by Neo-Platonic theology – purgative, illuminative and unitive– until the ultimate apocatastasis

Full textDurability of polymer matrix composites is a critical property for structural applications and even more in the aerospace domain. The development of new reinforcements constituted of stitched unidirectional non-woven stacks : the NCF (Non Crimp Fabrics) requires a new characterization of the microcracking phenomena because of their specific morphology. The study considers a new type of NCF, the NC2 developed by HEXCEL Corporation S. A. S. , The stitching causes lenticular perturbations of the fibres alignment in the unidirectional plies. This implies the occurence of 3D resin rich regions in the laminate after processing. To characterize the specific morphology of these resin rich regions, we developed a partnership with the USBB (Unité de Science du Bois et des Biopolymères) in Bordeaux which has an expertise in the 3D imaging by X-ray microtomography. The study deals with the microcracking of NCF reinforced composites due to damaging hygrothermal loading. The specific effects of the resin rich regions on the behaviour of the material under hygrothermal loadings should be characterize. We developed a method based on metallographic observations with refined control of the observation section location regarding the stitching yarn. The comparison of the microcracking state between several types of laminates has been allowed by the adaptation of a parameter characterizing the crack density. The 3D repartition of the microcracks has also been studied by X-ray microtomography. The study of crossply laminates, with different stitching orientations, and quasi-isotropic laminates allows the analysis of the resin rich areas morphology. The tightness and the size of the stitching yarn and the stacking sequence as well have been found to have a significant effect. This makes it possible to determine the influence of the resin rich area morphology on the evolution of the crack density inside the sample. It is shown that the crack density is a growing fonction of the size of the resin rich areas. At last, no effect of the humid period could be detected for this hygrothermal solicitation. This could be due to the low sensitivity of the resin to humidity. This study has revealed a microcracking mode proper to stitched laminates. The cracks appear first in the resin rich regions and then within the composites areas. This has been validated by the loading of unstitched laminates. The stitching yarn nature and the resin rich areas size have an influence on the microcracking phenomenon. We have then made several proposals to solve this early microcracking problem

Full textThis work intends to point out how the issues of intellectual emancipation and of political emancipation are linked in a particular way through the relationship that a philosophical doctrine has with the history of philosophy. Indeed, the constitution of a philosophical dogma and the submission of philosophy to politics go together and have both been at the origin of the institutionalization of philosophy as a school and university discipline. In this context, philosophy is built within a double relationship : to philosophical tradition on the one hand and to political power on the other hand. In addition, the two terms of the relationship are subordonnated to one another. According to the particular political conception one intends to defend and legitimate, the utilization of the history of philosophy does not answer the same kind of issues : thus it appears as a revealing element in the antagonism that opposes Victor Cousin to Pierre Leroux. We find two different ways of instrumentalizating the history of philosophy in these authors’ doctrines, subordinated to political motivations. Indeed, if politics are the « corollary of philosophy » as Pierre Leroux says, this assertion may be understood in different ways : we will try to bring out the different interpretations and to show how the reconstitution of a philosophical tradition is related to the political finality assigned to philosophy

Full textRoger Cousinet (1881-1973) and Célestin Freinet (1896-1966) are major advocates of new education philosophy, a progressive ideology in education. They assert that an institution should be changed into the place which develops student's socialities. The primary objective of this study is to consider several differences of the educational methods (group study of R. Cousinet and Freinet's teaching method) and to compare and constrast their ideas : the principles and school practices of these pedagogues. The comparison is focused on school socialization. R. Cousinet and C. Freinet regard it as a final objective or educational process. The socialization is characterized by following three aspects : acculturation, personalization and individualization. According to these three processes, socialization in new education (progressive education) consists of constructing personal culture and collective life, increasing the awareness of responsibilities. The comparative analysis of these two schools of thought takes place in the two stages : observation of public school classes (class group study, class Freinet) and understanding the specifications of Cousinet's and Freinet's methods. Accordingly, how to read and interpret their literary work depends primarily on the three characteristics of their teaching and learning methods. Three elements are based on expression, interest and responsibility
