Bottineau, Audrey. "Les paradoxes du métier de chorégraphe en danse contemporaine : ethnographie de l'espace normand." Rouen, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009ROUEL040.
Full textWorking from an ethnographic perspective on the Normandy region of France, this thesis focuses on contemporary dance choreographers as defined and described by the actors themselves. How can one be and what can one say about being a contemporary choreographer ? What is the everyday life of these « artist » workers ? This ethnographic approach made it possible to explore the value systems at work to justify this profession of « artist ». An examination of the « paradoxes of the choregrapher's job » leads one to a position midway between a profession (i. E. , paid work in a relatively standardized job market) and a passion (i. E. , work as a vocation). This high visibility of dance performance, and thus the artistic act, contrasts with the routine tasks that remain confined to the company's internal functioning : « extraordinary » activity, experienced perhaps as the very definition of self, takes form only on the basis of an « ordinary » job
Graezer, Bideau Florence. "La danse du yangge en Chine contemporaine : enjeux politiques et pratiques sociales." Paris, EHESS, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005EHES0075.
Full textThis dissertation studies the role of cultural policy as a tool of power in 20th century China. By focusing on different categories of popular culture in their historical, political, intellectual and social context, this research shows how the notion of culture is, and has always been an important stake of the struggles taking place in the ruling elite. Through anthropological, historical and comparative analysis of several social and cultural activities -yangge dance, qigong exercises, festivities linked with some pilgrimages or traditional celebrations - this dissertation highlights the will of the chinese communist party to build a policy governing national cultural practices. Illustrations taken from fieldwork in Beijing and Shaanxi clarify not only the process of the making of cultural traditions and the issues it entails bu also the place these activities occupy in the emergence of a civil society and their role in the project of building a "spiritual civilization"
Bourdie, Annie. "Créations chorégraphiques d’Afrique francophone : systèmes de représentations et stratégies de reconnaissance en période contemporaine." Thesis, Paris Est, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PEST0006.
Full textContemporary choreographies from Africa have been crossed by social representations of dance, bodyand arts but they are also nurtured by the historical western gaze on Africa, on the “Black“, and on“his“ dance. Furthermore, the ambivalent relationships built for generations between France andAfrica have impacted these representations, including professional scenic dance.During the seventies, Léopold Sedar Senghar, driven by the ambition to promote arts in Africa throughthe concept of Negritude, proposed, with the french choreographer Maurice Béjart, a new artisticexperience called Mudra Afrique. This school was a training project about performing arts for Africandancers, nurtured by Senghor’s and Bejart’s representations, with the aim of “modernizing“ dance inAfrica. This project did not have the expected impact, even though the director of Mudra, GermaineAcogny, thanks to this school, has become one of the most influencial figure in the African dance, infrench-speaking area and beyond.Nevertheless, the explosive development of contemporary choreographies from Africa, since the1990s, is mainly due to the France’s foreign policy by redefining cultural cooperation with the Africancontinent. Its specific program called Afrique en Creations aimed to enable African artists to developtheir own contemporary expression. It contributed more specifically to the promotion of“contemporary African dance“ through the launch of biennial choreographic encounters in Africa. Bythis way, France reaffirmed the specific nature of its ties with Africa through arts and culture. Againstsuch a backdrop, when political and artistic expressions are closely related, how the artists dealt withthe dominant models? Could they move away from this established framework? Which strategies didthey adopt? And more specifically, what about the French-speaking choreographers?

Full textThe classical theory of decision presents decision as a continuous process, hence as knowable as a phenomenon under the category of causality. A consequence of this is to make a free decision maker an impossible thing. In order to conceive a decision as something else than a "phenomenon", the philosophical concept of being is put in perspective in light of the theory of lacan and of the linguistic theories of jakobson and benveniste. Thus it remains possible to speak of a "free" decision, by defining it as an act carrying a meaning. Each of these two theories of decision refers to one of the two main paradigms of the contemporary episteme (foucault). The paradigm in which the classical theory of decision is thinkable is the one in which legitimacy is confered by syllogistic reasonning : this is shown to lead to the weberian and parsonian models ; intersubjectivity is expressed in terms of relation between objets ; and the legitimate rule of meaning is metonymy. In the other paradigm, in which a "free" is thinkable, intersubjectivity is thought in terms of relation between beings; metaphor, as a mode of intuition and of the access to the being, in as legitimate as metaphor. Globaly a model is proposed for intersubjectivity, social legitimacy and the functionning of the rational firm

Full textThe results of some social and cultural studies suggest that the Cameroonians would be in a situation of "cultural imbalance". In fact, concerning the practice of "physical activities", NDAKI-MBOULET and some other researches say that the Cameroonians hesitate between the practice of "traditional activities" or "traditional games" and that of "modern activities" or "sports". The above-mentioned author further asserts that there is a "cultural disequity" in the Cameroonian society, due to the practice of sports. .
Delage, Chollet Colette. "Pratique de photographie et de videoscopie familiales dans la France contemporaine." Toulouse 2, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001TOU20026.
Full textThe development of photography, a result of economic growth, has led to its appropriatio by individuals (trought the democratization of the portrait and amateur photography). Anthropologists also used photographs then films (for illustration as participant observers) before becoming interested in them as an object of study in their own right. This research proposes the analysis of family usesof photographs and video in France (1990-2000). Work carried out on recent developments in the family and that related to family uses of photography define its context. Besides the actual subject of the views taken, what do these uses represent in themselves, how are they related to the functioning of contemporary families ? To what extent do the use of photographs or video reveal, translate, participate in and/or organise ways of "being" part of a family ? Observation of the corpus, together with an analysis of the way 37 people use photographs/video, complemented by their commentaries, confirms the central position and selective nature of the "album", but also its role in the contruction and fragmentation of time. These two points are expression of autobiographical intention of the organiser. The analysis also underlines the importance of the other photographs which are not included in the album. The intermingling of family rites and photographic/video rituals on the occasion of formal marriage celebrations or unofficial ones, or on the arrival of a child (by birth or adoption) proves that photography and video reflect and are a part of changes in family arrangements. Divorce, separation, re-formed families, all these have had an effect on their use. The way they are used is revealing of current attitudes in the face of death (the corpse as "taboo" and also of how the family's photographic inheritance is managed and transmitted. It is thus, that photographs and video, by provoking speech and expressing affects, provide an insight into their link with individual and family memories

Full textDeep-rooted in "live metaphysics", the holiotic dimension of the negro-african universe, made of synergy and intelligence, convergence and membrality - that is to say of reciprocal interaction happens to be strongly shaken in an africa that more and more chooses occidental science and technics as a means to get out of the deadloks of underdevelopment. Nevertheless these science and technics are not "falling from the sky". They bear a history, tradition and culture. But they also drain their myths, beliefs and blindness. So true is it that adopting, adapting or transferring to africa what we will call techno-science do not go without raising new challenges. The future of man will not be technoscientific. The development of africa will be less a matter of competence and material means than that of ethics. Africa must invent and create for itself new paradigms of significance and new meanings out of the action of articulating rationalities and through the dynamics of contaries promised to improvement and to pluridimensionality. The fundamental project will have been to answer this question : "wich science for which africa"? a question culminating in this other one : "which ethics in an africa in quest of an authentic development"?

Full textBorn in 1945 in Jakarta, the Masjumi was probably the biggest muslim party in the whole islamic associations of Indonesia. It was a very important actor during the 1945-1960 period (called the physical Revolution), then was the first governmrnt party during 1950-1955 period, when the independance of the country was secured. But the unity of the party was damaged by two scissions, in 1947 with the PSII and in 1952 with the Nahdlatul Ulama. Until 1957, the core of the Masjumi ideology was an attempt to conciliate the practice of western democracy with the values of Islam. But after the elections of 1955 - wich where a big deception for Masjumi - it tends to radicalize its positions. During the debates at the constituante assembly betwen 1957 and 1959, the Masjumi party was the advocate of radical revendications for an islamic state. But during the same time, its leaders took part in a struggle for the safety of democraty against the Soekarno conception of guided democraty. For this very reason, some of them where involved in the PRRI rebellion during the years 1958-1960. In today's Indonesia, The Masjumi party remains as the symbol of the lost unity of political islam, but its inheritage seems to be accaparate by the representants of islamic radicalism
Roques, Sylvie. "Le corps et ses images dans l'écriture dramatique contemporaine : une application du logiciel "Alceste"." Paris 8, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA082522.
Full textIn my research I employed a lexical analysis by context invented by Max Reinert and called “Alceste” methodology. This method investigates the authors' establishment of lexical universes (mondes lexicaux) in the writing of dramatic scripts. In analyzing these lexical universes, we can trace and evaluate diverse representations of the body and note that two major categories appear: one, is a universe concerned with a corps humide (that which is fluid, organic and sensual); the second describes a corps sec (the mechanical body, the dead body, the body as an abstract idea). In this regard, the preoccupation with the body evident in our contemporary culture is also present in contemporary theater. Contrary to an aesthetic of an ideal body (le beau corps), contemporary theater seeks to represent the body in its reality: in the flesh, raw, with its expressions of blood, sweat, tears, hesitation and the daily ambiguities of embodiment

Full textThe large mosque of Paris was built in 1926, that of Mantes-La-Jolie, second mosque of France equiped with a minaret, was built in 1981. Since then, a dozen "visible" mosques have been set up, with or without minarets. The majority of the places of Moslem worship of which the number varies between 1500 and 1700 is represented by rooms of prayer installed under precarious conditions. Their exit of clandestinity as from the years 1980 raises the question of their architectural identification and their urban location according to their situation in a traditional urban fabric (ex: Paris) or in a peripheral district (suburbs). The opposition between the national policies and the local policies lets emerge an obvious dissension around a clear definition of secularity and the possibilities of funding the construction of the places of worship. In addition, the numerous difficulties which accompany the processes of "possible" realization by the places of Moslem worship that the latter are ascribed to the local policies. The instruction of the file of permit building of a mosque can last several decades. This wait-and-see policy of the administrative type is charged to the disunion of the Moslems, to the importance of the requests as regards places of worship and to the hostility of the residents and the authorities. The representations which accompany the public discussion on insertion by the mosques, related to the ignorance of the right by the local Moslems and public decision makers, generate qualified situations of "no-right"

Full textThe purpose of this research is to explain and understand the adoption of novelty by consumers as a dynamic phenomenon, from its initial stage as an individual action to the collective one and finally as a novelty market. Historical studies highlight the link between the development of novelty adoption and the one of intermediate social strata. Historical comparison allows to formulate hypothesis: different status dynamics and State regulation of status. A contextual matrix is built to define contexts explaining adoption. Inspired by threshold models, typical sequences of collective adoption can be defined. Several networks of young adopters who recently graduated are identified and tracked between 2010 and 2010 (through video-chat in depth individual interviews, informal message exchange and online research). The analysis highlights the existence of novelty chains, and the role of novelty passers. It allows to describe two typical sequences of the collective adoption of novelty and restore the significance of contexts in which adopters and passers match together. Adoption stories are analyzed in the context of career and conjugal life transitions. They illuminate the link between the adoption of market novelty and new intermediate social strata. The Chinese context of transition and reforms after 1978 appears as a typical locus for this double configuration

Full textClown acting in contemporary Colombia is developing. Even though the figure of clowns has always being present in society, regardless of its forms through history, we are now witnessing the rebirth of the art of clowning in Colombia in the last decade. The art of clowning becomes an enhancement possibility of comic and poetic language of the artist in the current Colombian society, conferring the clown actor a social and political role, and allowing the spectator to live a form of resistance and freedom from their daily violent reality.The historical perspective of the circus as modern artistic language allows understanding how the clown is built up and developed through the XIX and XX centuries until the point of becoming an independent art with its foray into theater and theater schools. This perspective aims to provide the theoretical foundations of the birth and evolution of the circus and the clown in the circus since the time of pre-Hispanic America until contemporary Colombia. The historical perspective points out that the existence of comic and clownesque characters in the Pre-Columbian culture and during the colonization era can be recorded even before the clowns’ arrival to the modern circus after the XVIII century. The history of Latin America popular celebrations and the itinerant and comic characters are developed at the same time as the spectacular religious forms of the Spanish ideology. The European and American circuses arrived amid an atmosphere of resistance and, later, of independence. The history of the circus in Latin America begins to be written.The Latin American economic model, the recent cultural industry and the lack of schools for circus training mark the circus evolution as a social institution which, through its discipline and techniques, looks to form young people and children that are in violence situations. On the other hand, the theater is subjected to divisions between tradition and the emergence of modern ideologies on actor’s training until the consolidation of the artistic method of collective creation. The traditional circus clown becomes a kind of stereotype with the clownesque duos on T.V., the clowns in the streets and restaurants, and the beggars dressed up as clowns.This study approaches the semiotic elements of the new clowns’ figure as an independent art encouraged by French Jacques Lecoq’s pedagogy, spread all around the world with an important impact in Latin America, where this pedagogy meets the collective creation based on improvisation. It arrives through international theater festivals, where artists and spectators have access to the panorama of the clown art around the world, by means of courses and shows renewing the clown’s marginalization phenomenon through an artistic and social status change. The established practice of collective creation, the collective work and the involvement of theater in social and political transformation of the country, meet the language of the new clowns to give shape to absolutely strong and original collective clownesque creations.We will focus on the function performed by the contemporary clowns in the current Colombian society resulting from a large period of crisis marked by confrontations and successive waves of violence. Humor, as a particular feature of the culture and becoming an unquestionable way of facing a painful reality, meets the clown, who makes possible to recover the sacred value of the shaman, bobo, buffoons and mad characters of history. Thus, recognizing the foray of clown language into different fields (the hospital, the humanitarian and the social ones) in Colombia, it is possible to accept that the spectator lives a form of freedom through the communication established with the clown in the laughing

Full textMessina 1908, The Aquila 2009, one hundred years have passed between these two earthquakes, an Italy has taken shape. This -so called - geographical expression, has become a Nation. The contours of internal borders have been blurred and the peninsula now seems unified. The History of Italy cannot, however, be divorced from a revengeful Geography, and from its expression, which is, to say the least, upsetting. Earthquakes are being added to a list of risks present on the transalpine territory: landslides, floods and forest fires are among the most important natural hazards. The young republic is not exempt from anthropic or man-made hazards (health, technological, energy, terrorist, related to transport or even land use planning) which sometimes amplify the consequences of natural events when they do not directly and primarily affect the environment. An earthquake, since this is what we will mainly be talking about, could be seen as nothing more than a calamitous geophysical phenomenon. Beyond the impact on people, property and the environment, these phenomena are what we call disasters. Thus, it is important to discern from the outset this key notion: the disaster has a real cathartic and revealing function. It may seem provocative to set under this gnoseological objective events where death and human suffering predominate. However, this is here our aim to study Italian society. The state of crisis into which a society is plunged when it is affected by a catastrophe will be for us more than a prism through which we want to observe it. It will also, and above all, be the revealing element of a reality that is too hidden by the superficial and promotional functioning of modern information channels
Tuchowski, Fanny. "Dispositifs artistiques pour les personnes âgées fragiles." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018TOU20104.
Full textThe present research studies the different artistic devices offered to older people who have been identified as vulnerable by “L’Hôpital de Jour des Fragilités et de la Prévention de la Dépendance de la Grave” in Toulouse (The Day Hospital of Frailty and the Prevention of Dependency of La Grave). The day hospital encourages patients to commit to joining some art workshops facilitated by professional artists and by cultural institutions recognized both locally and nationally. These artistic devices that do not fall under art therapy and do not have any therapeutic goals fit into a new way of thinking those interventions.For a number of years, a number of studies have measured the therapeutic effects of art on health, however very little research has been devoted to the particularities of the type of those artistic devices, especially in France. This thesis – based on field data collection – focuses on the experience of participants, on the educational positioning of the artists and also on the required dimensions that make those devices a success. To achieve this, we have established an organized research protocol consisted of several stages (observation, analysis, experimentation, modelling.), based on almost four years. We wanted to give an answer to these following questions: What effects these art workshops might have on a frailty old people ? What meanings and what values do people place on these workshops? Do the devices affect the representations of the participants (regarding themselves, the others, the aging effects…)? What are the assets and the limits of those devices? This research, driven by the theory of the devices from l’École de Toulouse, is at the intersection of several disciplines. It aims to capture the different levels of reality, particularly through case studies. This thesis, firmly focused on the co-construction of the knowledge between the actors of the devices and the researcher, participates in the understanding of the approach to artistic practices. We aspire to demonstrate the interest of professional artistic intervention in the field of health and also to reflect the role that art can play for every individual in a society, regardless of their profile

Full textWe question the impact of contemporary discourses on the subjectivity, the visible resistances - meaning the one that are represented - and more particularly the external form that come to produce an internal reversal of these discourses and/or the mobilization of new practices which do not seek to be recognized. Among the dominant discourses, we expand on the discourse of economic value, the discourse of technosciences and the discourse of risk. The interconnections are analyzed, particularly in terms of the reflexivity produced in the subject, with the Lacanian discourses of the analyst and the capitalist. Some emergent affection, which is not associated with ideational representative, may occur at the level of politics, subject, and social. Emergent affections are precisely what occurs itself from the body and that can not find any instinctual representative in the social. They are distinguished from affects as they are themselves associated with discourses, producing objects of knowledge that condition them. From these affections, there may be repression, appointment (Say), or attachment to existing affects. The discursive event at politic level mobilizes a homogeneous representation to produce common affects from emerging affections: the plurality of power places leaves the established discursive authority lessened. In social terms, the production of knowledge is both invisibilised in the standard, but it is also, as a desire to know, a producer of links: the emerging affection finds a form of practical constitution that does not go through discursive recognition

Full textWithin contemporary discontent, in which good looks play an important role, beauty has become more than a right, it is a duty. If the aestheticization and technologization of the body are social products of the hygienist discourse, ugliness can be defined as an exclusion of what cannot be integrated in aesthetic standards. We are also questioning the construction of aesthetic judgment. We note that in the unconscious dynamic, aesthetic representations contain a phallic connotation. Furthermore, psychoanalysis shows that if we discriminate what is ugly, it’s because its view awakens in us degeneration, castration and death anxiety, having an impact on our body image. So, we are wondering if medicalization, the need to take care and embellish ourselves, are solutions that the social construct proposes in order to control our body, the uncanny, and dysmorphophobia.In fact, patients are increasingly consulting because they are feeling ugly and not measuring up to such ideals. What makes a subject feel not beautiful? Are there individuals that are more sensitive to feeling ugly than others? The feeling of ugliness appears when we are feeling like not measuring up to un aesthetic ideal; it reveals to the subject his/her lack-of-being and his/her lack-of-having. The contemporary clinical field shows that the social rejection of ugliness operates like a vicious ciercle, since the subject that is being discriminated by the look of the other, has the tendency to avoid the latter. The self-representation of ugliness is thus constructed as a subjective production of the projection of the other’s glance and the introjection of the Other’s glance.Consequently, analyzing the psycho-somato-social weaving that the clinical figures of ugliness are designating, raises important therapeutic and social questions. If the feeling of one’s own ugliness is the only way that the subject could find in order to speak about what he/she can’t say, then eradicating this symptom, as other therapeutic fields are suggesting, may constitute a risk of undoing a defense mechanism and causing psychic collapse. Feeling ugly can be considered as a transitional moment towards psychological appropriation of a self-image that is felt as castrated, damaged and metamorphosed

Full textThe current thesis examines John Mc Grath's theatrical activities as a playwright, as a director or as a theoretician, between 1958 and 1991. It estimates the etthical dimension of the intervention of the playwright, and the aesthetical implications of his wish to communicate with popular audiences. It inevitably questions the value of such concepts as : political theatre, parallel or fringe theatre, "Ceilidh-plays", interventionist theatre, carnival theatre. It situates John Mc Grath's works within national and international heritages. A contemporary bias will inevitably try and appreciate the validity and developments of two tools, privileged in the study of the activities of the playwright: sociology and semiotics. The questions of modernism and post-modernism, of short-lived and lasting works, of distanciation and identification, of universality and contextualisation inevitably arise out of a study whose key object is the process of creating and communicating, from writing to staging, with audiences who have usually been enstranged from official theatres. Epic, John Mc Grath's specific art of writing and staging has first been rooted in the regional cultures of liverpool and the industrial areas in the north of england, before reflecting the diversity of the popular traditions in scotland. Innovating in designing the aesthetical shapes of a theatrical contribution to the moves of contemporary societies, john mc grath allows us to consider the survival of his works and of those theatrical trends which ground their activity on the key place granted to history

Recent projects of urban renewal, new collective housing constructions and some special public equipments in both territories reinforce the exceptionality of the chosen cases, starting point for parallels, contrasts, common questions and crossed sights
A partir de duas monografias paralelas que analisam territórios emblemáticos de habitação social na periferia de São Paulo e Paris, propomos nesta tese um entendimento simultâneo da situação da Cité Balzac, um grand ensemble característico dos anos 1960 que atravessou recentemente um profundo processo de ‘renovação urbana’, confrontada com a história de um fragmento do maior complexo de conjuntos habitacionais da América Latina, a Cidade Tiradentes, como estratégia para compreender os últimos cinquenta anos da história da habitação social em ambos os países. Projetos recentes de renovação urbana, de novos conjuntos habitacionais e equipamentos públicos de excelência em ambos os territórios confirmam a excepcionalidade dos casos estudados, a partir dos quais buscamos estabelecer similitudes, contrastes, questões comuns e ‘olhares cruzados’

An original methodologywas developed in this thesis in order to define VLDSe as singularclimatic events, characterized by location, duration and spatial extent criteria.76 VLDSe were detected in the Mediterranean basin on the contemporaryperiod (1957-2013). These events are divided into 4 main geographicalpatterns: North-East, West, Scattered Localized and South-East. North-East and West configurations are associated with anticyclonic conditionslocated approximately 1 000 km northwestern to the areas affected by theVLDSe, favoring a clear sky and no precipitations. The Scattered Localizedand South-East configurations are special: the first one is characterized asa residual class grouping VLDSe with small spatial extent and distributedthroughout the entire basin, and the second one is characterized by seasonalVLDSe which are the continuation of the dry summer observed in the eastof the Mediterranean basin.Euro-Atlantic weather regimes have some control on the VLDSe. Thepositive phase of the north-atlantic oscillation regime (NAO+) is the onlyone that is clearly favorable to the development of VLDSe on almost the entirebasin. The east-atlantic regime (EA) does not show any control on theVLDSe, and the atlantic ridge (AR) and the negative phase of the northatlanticoscillation (NAO-) regimes are generally detrimental to VLDSe. However,some VLDSe can sometimes be associated with AR, EA and NAOregimes.This requires these three weather regimes to be associated withslightly higher atmospheric pressure northwest of the areas impacted bythe VLDSe, compared to their respective climatology. Long duration of theAR, EA and NAO+ regimes, which are coupled with sustained atmosphericstability, are preferentially associated with VLDSe, in contrast to the shortduration. Conversely, the long duration of the NAO- regime, reinforcingthe low atmospheric pressure on Europe and the Mediterranean basin, areweakly associated with VLDSe.Although the two climate models ALADIN52 and LMDZ4-NEMOMED8 differ in several respects, they agree in that VLDSe should be longer by 2100,especially in the RCP8.5 trajectory. A multi-model analysis with 12 CMIP5simulations shows that wintertime sea-level pressure tends to increase in theAtlantic Ocean, off the French coast and in the central the Mediterraneanbasin for the RCP8.5 trajectory. Conversely, the frequency and duration ofthe 4 weather regimes do not show significant trends until the end of the21st century.Finally, a study is carried out to assess the impact of VLDSe on agriculturalproduction in Spain. The number of VLDSe days has a larger impactson the yields of barley, wheat and oats (winter species and cultivatedthrough rainfed agriculture) than the simple ratio of dry days or seasonalrainfall amounts in Spain. A two-season case study, based on seasons withcomparable rainfall amounts, shows that in addition to yields, a VLDSecauses a significant decrease in soil moisture and in the Ebro River flow

Full textThe notion of vulnerability has recently become central in contemporary moral and political philosophy and in contemporary sociology. This work starts from the assumption that this notion carries with it a new conception of the subject, distinct both from the liberal conception and from the conception promoted by the moral tradition that defines autonomy as self-mastery. In order to define the concept of vulnerability, we first compare the way Martha Nussbaum, Axel Honneth, and care theorists such as Carol Gilligan and Joan Tronto use that notion. This comparison leads us to develop a dual conception of vulnerability according to which vulnerability should be understood as an anthropological category and a sociological one: vulnerability primarily refers to the situation of exposition and dependence in which corporeal and relational subjects are necessarily placed; that we are vulnerable means that our autonomy is dependent on the way others treat us. But vulnerability can also refer to the subjective effects produced by social situations or social contexts that deprive the subject of the conditions that are necessary for the development of her autonomy. We then show that this conception can be confirmed by an analysis of the way sociology makes use of the notion. We focus on the sociology of disaffiliation, social disqualification and domination. Finally, we try to highlight the normative implications of our conception of vulnerability. We argue that neorepublicanism, as developed by Philip Pettit, can help us to define a politics of vulnerability committed to the promotion of the relational and social conditions of autonomy, if we rework it by including in it the major contributions of care ethics and recognition theory

Full textThough contemporary dance terms officially appeared in France in the 1960s, it was not until the middle of the 1970s, in a context of international opening, and more specifically, to the innovations of American dance, that there was a genuine policy supporting this choreographic style. A mixed economic system was established: public intervention, subventions made to distribution companies and structures, came together with open commercial mechanisms implicating both the intermediary demand, company and distributor exchanges in selling the performances, and the end demand of spectators. The opportunity for companies to generate new performances and for these to circulate depends on bath the decisions of the trusteeship (procurement of grants) and that of the distributors (who bring funding for coproduction and buy the performances). These decisions are based on esthetic appreciations which have a major impact on the artists' professional trajectories

Full textAs of the 19th century up to now, Chinese music has been taking a new direction and has developed in the wake of social evolutions. In China, the musical creation was affected by both the various cultures and political changes, thus bestowing a special charm on contemporary Chinese music. From the beginning of Western imitation and just before the founding of the new China, Chinese musicians succeeded in matching the Chinese musical elements with the new musical languages. Throughout specific periods, art had been bound to political power, and traditional style constituted the main identity of musical creation. Following the Cultural Revolution, the return to the root culture, the implementation of diversified experimental techniques have resulted in the departure of Chinese composers abroad in search of their own creative way. Contemporary Chinese music developed from Western technique and progressed in the Chinese cultural context and its multiple roots, closed thoughts and childhood experiences in the pure cultural environment and the collision of the new environment is now creating fascinating works of art, remarkably different from Western contemporary music. During the last 30 years of economic development and political openness, Chinese society has become increasingly internationalized; the new technologies and the varied profiles of composers have prompted the new generation to set up outstanding specific musical innovations

Full textWhat are the conditions of a politicization of dance in this contemporary context of mistrust regarding politics ? To what extent can dance contribute today to enrich political thinking, or even help transform the conditions of collective experience ? We'll try to answer these questions through researches on French contemporary dance giving greater importance to a political esthetics approach based on the analysis of performances. After having analysed two important experiments of politicization in dance which had a great impact on the XXth century – radical dance and post-modern American dance –, we'll come back to the history of French contemporary dance, as it has been written since the beginning of the 70's. Although it was inspired by values of emancipation, contemporary dance faced the effects of its institutionalization during the 80's. During the 90's, this normalization gave birth to an “avant-garde” of protesting choreographers who denounced a “standardization” of forms and decided to turn to the model of performance art, known as being political. Thus, they imposed an anti-fiction doxa and a de-compartmentalization between arts and practices – two trends which are today imposing themselves as new norms on the contemporary stages. In the lights of these recent evolutions, I make the hypothesis that, to politicize itself, contemporary dance rather gains in taking its distance with performance art to experiment new forms of hybridizations (with theater, cinema and plastic arts); that it gains in particular in “theatralisizing itself”. I will confront this hypothesis to ten recent works from choreographers Alain Buffard, Héla Fattoumi, Éric Lamoureux and Maguy Marin, created between 2004 and 2013. After having studied the artists' intentions through their speeches and practices, I will analyse their works and try to show in what terms their original form constitutes the setting and production of a politics of esthetics, which is the reason why their constitutive, experimental and critical hybridization stands out from the formalist mixis which is so successful on contemporary stages

Full textThis thesis questions new developments within the field of urban Architecture in France and, specifically, possibilities for the renewal of the discipline’s project approaches and theories, taken in the context of increased awareness towards the multiple challenges presented by the contemporary European city. It thus highlights fundamental changes in conceptual frameworks (ways of thinking and structuring notions) since Urban Architecture’s first definition in France in the 1970s, and critically analyses the “projet urbain” approaches, as developed in the French context since the1980s. The idea of the “metropolitan project” as a renewed urban planning and design approach is thus investigated both from a retrospective and a prospective critical view point : on one side, by reviewing the “projet urbain”’s theories and methods; on the other, by exploring three conceptual and operating design tools – narrative, figure and scenario. Within this emerging narrative-descriptive design culture, renewed intellectual stances, reflexive processes and mental representations help develop new meanings of the “metropolitan project”, marking both continuities and points of departure with respect to the legacy of the “projet urbain”

Full text"Stress", "overwork", "asthenia", "nervous tension", etc. , these words that are nowadays growing in number in the medias are the signs of a major problem of our civilization, that psychiatry and psychopathology appoint in an alarming way: the contemporary man is the subject of a suffering, which comes into a general use as tiredness and depression. In the center of these pathologies appears the question of the time relation to oneself. Bombarded with the enterprise requirements of performance optimization, on which the rise and the development of technoscience and of its industry rely, the self is bustled about earning time. What do these pathologies of time mean, those wich increase with the development of modern western civilizations? What happens, in the order of such a world, of the work of all those who "loose their time": artists, thinkers, searchers…? In front of the tiredness to be the self, the question of therapeutic: the work of self on self, according to its tempo, whose ancient ontic model is the worry of the self. This work that psychoanalysis could have named perlaboration involves a temporality which is irreducible to the diachrony of acceleration. It reminds that the self is constitutively and originally opened to an unprogrammable alterity, which alterity could not be contained in the equation of a gain. Confronted to its own undetermination, the self is the place of one depressivity, which is at the same time, under the condition of an unconditional welcome of the other stranger inside, the ability by which the self constitutes itself, and one research is spread according to its unpredictability, its freedom and its lost time

Full textAt the twilight of the xxth century, in an era of technological interconnectioins, mediatisation and internationalisation, what are the place and the role of theatre in society ? on many levels, theatre appears as an art belonging to the past, not fitting man's current requirements. Its public is a tiny minority. But, as theatre doesn't adopt society's evolutionary characteristics, it can propose alternatives to the values society imposes on us. Here it finds its legitimacy. This research is about theatre over the last ten years and is based on first hand knowledge of performances belonging to the aesthetic field that georges banu calls "extremely contemporary". It concerns artists like jan fabre, reza abdoh or francois-michel pesenti, who have tried to question and to renew theatre's codes of conduct. A study of society is made through the analyses of contemporary philosophers, especially jean baudrillard, felix guattari and gilles lipovetsky. At a time of machine-like production of subjectivity and in the era of the "spectacle society", theatre experiments with the perception and offers the chance to discover the extreme subjectiveness. To the predominance of the image, it opposes the emotional experience of reception. Its own existence leaves room for resistance to a levelling out of social imagination. In a society that has lost its roots and its centre, one can discover anew the mythological function of theatre. This art is a place for dissatisfaction, insubordination, criticism and vigilance. On a political level, today's commitment is very far from the tumultuous commitment of the sixties and the seventies. Nowadays, commited art doesn't wander from the artistic field. It doesn't aim to change places with politics but aims to awake counsciousness and a desire to be in a world where "otherness" is respected

Full textAbsent from the traditional issues of the sociology of art, neither coming within the sociology of sports, dancing is a blind spot of social sciences. Within the dryness of a Sahel of statistics, bibliographies and concepts, couple dances are marginal. However they represent a deeply-anchored and widely-shared cultural custom with various and effective dimensiosn : mixing of sexes, negotiation of the identities of genres, ballroom rituals, transmission processes, codification, social functions. . . As a place of stereotyped practices, and according to the common sense, ballroom dancing in the 20th century went through golden age, a waining and a revival, scansions of an evolution which relativity can be revealed by analysis. Left for moribund at the begining of 70's, couple and ballroom dances have known multiple forms of resurgence (tango balls, lindy hop parties) and persistence (tea dance and dance halls) that speak through a folk craze. The ballroom dancing culture is the subject of a passionate reconstruction throughout multiple territories while the notions of ballroom dance and couple dance are used as instruments by political authorities and association networks to weave new forms of sociability. The handing down of family traditions has been substituted by the development of dance schools and the, training courses given by multi-activity and associative structures (cultural centers), today a majority, who are on conflicting terms with improvisation. A quantative survey carried out among the people who take courses reveals how multiple the representations of the dances they learn can vary

Full textEvery one of us knows that we are living in a complex world where the symptoms can be the manifestation of our times; they are coming to us like a hieroglyphics that we must decipher. The Dance, as an institution, is a paradigm of the speech of the social ideal, where dancers are immersed and are prisoner in a strict alienation, they have to follow the rules and contributes the social control. They are obligated to build a representation of their body image that modifies their psychosomatic balance. However this suffering of the Dancer body's, we can find that it appears in a paradoxical way, because it becomes with a certain "enjoyment". The physical suffering of the body is a complex phenomena that appears in the professional classic dancers groups, as a result of a consecutive psychic suffering and some others influences like society, politics, culture and economy. This sufferance can be found like alimentary disorders as anorexia and bulimia produced by the violence existent in the dancing media who tries to build one perfect and performed body model. In order to better understand how the esthetic production are pronounced in a symbolic way in the desire of other, we have to follow the narcissism of the dancer, who carry him to have one suffer body as a manifestation of their identity. What are they searching of or what have they lost in this exercise of speak with out voice but communicating with the dance of their body's? Why must they support so much pain and suffering?

Full textThis thesis endeavours to examine the representation that the contemporary novel imparts to tourism. It draws on a corpus of novels issued between 1990 and 2010, involving writers as diverse as Éric Chevillard, Jean Echenoz, Mathias Énard, Michel Houellebecq, Lydie Salvayre, Olivier Rolin or Jean-Philippe Toussaint. Each of these writers seeks to outwit often prescriptive and stereotyped views. These authors shed light on the tourist’s contradictory aspirations and the way this unexpectedly complex character, whose behaviour has been inherited from ancient historical and literary paradigms, interacts. The contemporary novel also takes over tourism as a line of business– a heterotopia, as Michel Foucault understood it– akin to a repertoire of forms, contributing to its aesthetic renewal. Lastly, the novel interrogates this touristic interface device, which, positioning itself between the traveler and the outer world, jeopardizes the understanding of it. Hence, the return to transitive writing is thwarted by a reality that falls away under its own representation. Paradoxically enough, while consenting to confront that medium which tourism represents, and playing upon and against the stereotypes it conveys, the novel manages to rekindle its ties with an original journey

Finally, we have to look at possession as a way of being in the world, a discursive manner answering a mutation in the paternal function, itself affecting the contemporary social bond

It seems to be particularly present within today's teenagers, which lead us to more questions about social ties, of which adolescence becomes "the barometer", according to the famous quote of Winnicott. From a reflection on how rap summons a certain relationship to the voice object, as well as an exploration of Virus's work, we'll suppose that this musical genra is the testimony of an effort to locate one's jouissance and one's skills to deal, through language, with the question of the Real

I then examined whether the image proposed by the Tunisian cinema truly reflects the reality of Tunisian society, or if the image, by contrast, is a distorted, embellished or blackened. Tunisian filmmakers have they gained enough maturity and artistic skills in order to claim some authority that allows them to act as a spokesperson of the people ? In the first part, in order to situate the place and role of contemporary Tunisian cinema, I first examined the history of Tunisian cinema as a whole. In the second part of my research, i wondered about the nature of the relationship between film and contemporary Tunisian society today. Why chose to analyse twenty films through a sociological light, by selecting the films on criteria related the social problems. I devoted the third part of my work at a theme by which i have classified the film analysis : this is the theme of women. Finally, in part IV, I considered the locations ant the sets of films. I think in fact that the locations and sets play an important role in the relationship that developped between a film and its audience. Therefore, there is a real debate on the credibility of the Tunisian cinema today, and its abiility to touch audiences deeply and awaken the consciences of the current state of Tunisian society. This problem cannot be solved only when the restrictions on freedom of expression are lifted

Full textIn this study an attempt has been made to consider Tunisian traditional and popular dancing, both in its sacred and profane milieu. Collective dancing is deeply linked to the environment from witch it emerges. It’s also considered as a form of expression that conveys various aspects of collective life as well as social organisation. Thus, it’s interesting to study the close relationship between dancing and society in Tunisia. In this study, we tried to examine Tunisian popular dancing, its nature and its uses as well as its function and place it holds in Tunisian society. This work is composed of three main parts. Part one tries to situate Tunisian dancing in its relation with two important elements: religion with its norms and taboos; history with its dynamic of exchanges and interactions between different cultures and civilisations. In the second part, we tried to describe and classify Tunisian dances both according to its functions (ritual, ceremonial) and its actors (professional, devotee) also according to gender (masculine, feminine). In the third and last part, we tried to focus on all those elements presented in the first and second part. Our interpretation aimed at, first defining the place of dancing in Tunisian culture as well as its social functions. We then tried to consider dancing as an expression that conveys different groups’ mentalities and identities. Finally, we attempted to study the tradition using fieldwork

Full textThe integration of Poland into the European Union in 2004 coincided with an increased visibility of gay figures in society and in cinema. Before the 2000s, sexual minorities—and their fictional representations—were more inclined to correspond to certain social and aesthetic conventions of their time (to step aside or abstain from making their sexual orientation known or visible). As Robert Biedroń writes, since the country’s integration into the European Union, “the discourse surrounding homosexuality [is] included in [Polish society’s] contemporary dispute regarding the subject of values in general”, whether this dispute concerns the recognition of sexual minorities, the right to abortion or the openness to immigration. Since it is usually agreed that cultural products of all kinds bear witness to their own relations with society and its ideologies, it is possible to question the ways in which certain recent fictional films are part of Poland’s sociocultural dialogue about homosexuality. We have selected the following works: In the Name of (W imię..., 2013), Floating Skyscrapers (Płynące wieżowce, 2013), Suicide Room (Sala samobójców, 2011), The Lovers of Marona (Kochankowie z Marony, 2005), Drowsiness (Senność, 2008) and In Hiding (W ukryciu, 2013). The notion of “figure”, announced by the title, is presented in the guise of certain characters that these films put into narrative and fiction. Certain “aspects” of the figure help to consider the relationship between fiction and reality. They compel us to conceive of homosexuality and certain characters as connectors between the fictional propositions of films and a number of social realities and ideologies. These aspects are: history, society, imaginary and space. History implies certain references to the past (or the notable absence of certain references), which fictional characters are likely to point to. Their behaviors also indicate processes that ensure collective or social functioning. The identity of the characters is imaginarily extended by the social types they represent (or from which they deviate); it also contains its self-defining values. As for space, it is that which holds or gives way to the fictional games in which the films participate. Historical, social and imaginary figures form the relief of that surface. The films also invite us to consider certain “concepts”, including identity, otherness, persona-tisation and hospitality (which presuppose a relationship to oneself and to others, a theme that permeates Poland and other countries), romanticism and positivism (paradigms that can be transformed by historical events and works of art that interpret them), manifestation (Offenbarkeit) and mutuality (which suggest ways to renew in fiction homosexual desire outside narrower fields), actuality and virtuality (relations of identity to truth and falsehood, to authenticity and feint), and so on. These concepts guide our readings of the films and of their figures. In addition, “themes”, motifs or, as Pierre Sorlin wrote, “fixation points” emerge from the films: nature and city, virility and masculinity, nudity and eroticism, heterosexual relationship, family, religion and faith, community, communication. On the whole, a certain tradition of Polish cinema seems to continue to bear fruit: this cinema remains, through the “small” contemporary narratives, a privileged way of re-examining certain ideological certitudes.

Full textThere has been a resurgence of interest in the theme of work, since the end of the Thirty Glorious Years. Initially centered on a few emblematic works, there has emerged in subsequent years, multifaceted forms of expression that do not lend themselves easily to unifying categorisation. However, a specific literariness has emerged on this theme that reflects an originality that is unique within the realm of literary production. Whilst all writers hesitate about the best means to narrate human activities, those who write about work face particular difficulties in defining their position and status.
