L'étude de l'engagement anarchiste de Georges Darien (1862-1921) repose sur une analyse précise de l'œuvre littéraire et journalistique de l'auteur, de la réception de celle-ci, de sa correspondance en partie inédite, de sa vie, et du contexte historique et culturel contemporain. Entre 1886 et 1890, Darien, qui fréquente la jeune génération littéraire, fait ses débuts sur la scène littéraire avec « Bas les cœurs! » et « Biribi », et sa pièce « Les chapons » fait scandale. Il est perçu comme un écrivain subversif, un antimilitariste, un naturaliste ; mais par les thèmes qu'il aborde, le nationalisme, la défaite de 1870, la critique du conformisme bourgeois, et par la façon si personnelle dont il les traite, avant tout parce qu'il s'inspire de sa propre expérience, Darien est d'abord un écrivain contestataire, un anarchiste qui s'ignore, car il n'utilise pas ce terme avant 1890. La période qui va de 1890 à 1897 est celle de l'engagement. Tout en continuant à critiquer le nationalisme revanchard, Darien se détourne, par haine du parlementarisme, des possibilités d'action légale, que présente notamment le socialisme. Apres avoir défendu les actes terroristes dans « L'en dehors » et publie sa revue « L'escarmouche », il fuit la France en juillet 1894. Cependant ce militantisme va de pair au fil des ans avec une revendication accrue de liberté individuelle : Darien finit par prendre ses distances avec l'anarchisme dans « Le voleur », au nom de l'individualisme. A partir de 1898, il poursuit cette évolution qui l'amène à tenir des propos toujours plus extrémistes. Il reste cependant fidèle à l'idéal libertaire, et relève de la catégorie des anarchistes individualistes, de ceux qui par mépris de la soumission populaire, s'en remettent à l'action individuelle violente. De même, la voie réformiste qu'il choisit dans ses dernières années ne constitue pas un reniement de son passé mais une manifestation peu commune de l'idéal libertaire
The anarchistic commitment of Georges Darien (1862-1921) can be studied through an accurate analysis of his literary and journalistic work and of its reception. The study of his correspondence - mainly unpublished -, of his life and of the historical and cultural context will add to this approach. Between 1886 and 1890, Darien moves in the young literary generation, makes his first appearance on the literary stage with “Bas les coeurs!” and “Biribi”, and his play “Les chapons” is found scandalizing. He is seen as a subversive, antimilitarist and naturalistic writer. As long as the literary themes are concerned - nationalism, the defeat of 1870, the criticism of the bourgeois conformism, all these subjects based on very personal approach - Darien is an antiestablishment writer, a real anarchist, and between 1890 and 1897, he actually commits himself in this way. If Darien criticizes the revanchards nationalists he also denounces socialism because of his hatred of parliamentary government and legal political action. After his defense of terrorism in “L'endehors” and the publishing of his review “L'escarmouche”, he leaves France in July 1894. With the passing years, Darien stands aloof from anarchism as he takes sides in personal freedom: “Le voleur” is actually a good example of his new aspiration. Since 1898, Darien has become more and more extremist in his political opinions. However, he remains faithful to his ideals of freedom and can be considered as an individualistic anarchist, preferring personal and violent action to the submission of the common people. In that respect, at the end of his life, he makes the choice of reformism to express clearly his ideals of freedom

Les discours tenus aujourd’hui sur Georges Darien restent, pour une large part, associés à l’anarchisme. Pour en saisir les limites, la thèse remonte aux sources biographiques. La lecture de son œuvre− aussi riche que méconnue− prendra acte d’un moment fondateur : l’expérience des camps disciplinaires, en 1883. A partir de là, les fictions s’inscrivent dans une démarche contestataire. Le destin littéraire devient spéculaire, véritable miroir d’une âme entrée en résistance. Tenant à la fois de Balzac, Vallès ou encore Mirbeau, l’écrivain dénonce et engage sa responsabilité d’auteur. Combinant avec originalité des personnages et des situations, Darien revisite les problématiques de son époque : rapport à la bourgeoisie, à l’argent, aux institutions, à l’individu. A ce titre, sa littérature est un vaste territoire à explorer. Les pratiques d’écriture et les stéréotypies particulières de la « fin de siècle » font l’objet d’une analyse très critique. L’homme de lettres écrit sa contestation sous toutes les formes : roman, poésie, théâtre, pamphlet, journal, discours. Enfant perdu de la bourgeoisie, livré à la Grande Muette, assiégé par des visions cauchemardesques ; Darien a de quoi nourrir sa résistance scripturaire. Rien ne manquera à la parole libertaire qu’il exerce. Bagnes et armées connaîtront une satire des plus violentes. Famille et instances tutélaires délivreront des idéologies souvent ridicules. Nations et littérateurs donneront l’occasion de discuter la place de l’artiste et de forger un individualisme féroce. Sous le couvert de récits détonants, l’écrivain donne ainsi à voir matière, mais aussi manière. Surenchère, image, caricature, raisonnement par l’absurde, fondent une esthétique originale. La fiction ne fait jamais allégeance à un système de pensée, quel qu’il soit. Le continent littéraire sur lequel nous posons notre regard impose de revoir nos certitudes. Aller à la rencontre de Darien, c’est repenser la question de l’adhésion à l’anarchisme, au naturalisme ou encore au symbolisme. La littérature devient le laboratoire d’une pensée qui n’est jamais partisane, mais toujours soucieuse de décrypter. La démarche comparatiste comme la sociologie permettent d’engager ce décryptage. Finalement, lire ou relire Darien, c’est passer du singulier d’un destin littéraire au pluriel de nos destinées. Le texte retrouve son étymologie de « textus », ce fil qui se fait et défait au gré des écritures et des heurts de l’Histoire collective comme personnelle
The speeches today Georges Darien remain largely associated with anarchism. To grasp the limits, the thesis goes back to biographical sources. Reading his œuvre− as rich as méconnue− take note of a founding moment: the experience of disciplinary camps, in 1883. From there, fictions are part of a protest action. The literary destiny becomes specular true reflection of a resistor input soul.Holding both Balzac Vallès or Mirbeau, the writer denounces and engages its copyright liability. Combining with original characters and situations, Darien revisits the issues of his time compared to the bourgeoisie, to money, to institutions, to the individual. As such, its literature is a vast territory to explore. Writing practices and specific stereotypes of the “end of century” are the subject of a highly critical analysis. The man of letters wrote his challenge in all forms: novel, poetry, theater, pamphlet, newspaper, speech. Lost child of the bourgeoisie, comes to the Great Muette, besieged by nightmarish visions; Darien has enough to feed his scriptural resistance. Nothing missed libertarian speech he exercises. Bagnes and armies will experience more violent satire. Family and guardianship bodies shall issue often ridiculous ideologies. Nations and writers will provide an opportunity to discuss the place of the artist and forge a fierce individualism. Under the cover of detonating stories, the writer gives to see and matter but also fashion. Increment, picture, cartoon, reductio ad absurdum, founded an original aesthetic. Fiction never pledged allegiance to a system of thought, whatever it is. The literary continent on which we lay our eyes means reviewing our certainties. Go to the meeting of Darien, is rethinking the issue of accession to anarchism, naturalism or symbolism. Literature becomes the laboratory of a thought that is never partisan, anxious to decrypt. The comparative approach such as sociology allow it to engage decryption. Finally, read or reread Darien is spend a singular literary destiny plural of our destinies. The text finds its etymology of “textus” this thread is done and undone at the discretion of the scriptures and clashes of collective history as personal

L’objet de ce travail est de rendre compte d’une triple invention. La première, au sens de « trouver », tient à la découverte fortuite des œuvres d’Henry Darger (1892-1973). La deuxième, qui est le fait de la réception institutionnelle, consiste à faire de l’écrivain et illustrateur un artiste d’Art Brut, créateur pour ainsi dire par accident. Qui plus est, cette approche privilégie sa production picturale, alors qu’il se considérait lui-même avant tout comme romancier. Ces deux inventions seront avant tout l’occasion d’exposer l’objet central de cette étude : l’invention de l’artiste par lui-même, rétabli en écrivain. Dans ses écrits, autobiographiques et fictionnels, Darger déploie une inquiétude volontaire qui lui permet de remettre en cause le primat de l’identité personnelle, en multipliant les Moi potentiels. L’état d’inquiétude interroge la relation au monde, bouleverse les rapports conventionnels entre réel et vrai, vrai et faux, et met au jour l’irréel, ce pan de la réalité que la fiction rend accessible. Enfin, Darger déploie une pratique littéraire en rapports à des œuvres préexistantes, véritable écriture-lectrice qui repose toutefois sur une mythologie personnelle, un ensemble de thèmes structuré en architecture de symboles
The purpose of this study is to account for a triple invention. The first resultsfrom the incidental finding of Henry Darger’s works (1892-1973). The secondone, which is the result of institutional reception, consists in turning both writerand illustrator into an Outsider Artist, creator by accident, so to speak.Moreover, this approach favour his pictorial work, whereas he consideredhimself to be a novelist above all. These two inventions will give us theopportunity to present the main issue of this study : the artist’ self-creation,reclaiming the status of writer. In his writings, be they autobiographical or fiction, Darger displays a purposeful anxiety enabling him to question theprimacy of personal identity, hence multiplying potential selves. This purposefulanxiety questions his relation to the world and upsets the traditional structuresbetween what is real and what is true, right and wrong. It also unveils the unreal,this aspect of reality made available by fiction. Finally, Darger displays aliterally craft associated with pre-existing works, a fully-fledged writing-in-thereadingexperience still based upon a personal mythology: a set of themeswoven into an architecture of symbols

L'examen des éthiques évolutionnistes contemporaines depuis l'émergence de la sociobiologie en 1975 souligne avec force une tension déjà présente dans l'approche évolutionniste de la moralité de Darwin et qui appelle à prendre en compte l'ontogenèse de la moralité humaine ordinaire. Cette démarche permet d'éclairer en retour la question des analogues de la moralité humaine dans le monde animal et tout spécialement chez les grands singes. Ce travail propose un itinéraire, à travers l'interprétation de l'œuvre de Charles Darwin et l'étude approfondie des recherches contemporaines en éthique évolutionniste, en psychologie du développement moral et en primatologie, pour réexaminer l'extension du phénomène moral parmi les espèces animales

Chinese migration to the Northern Territory began in 1874 when 186 Chinese arrived from Singapore.l Several factors were responsible for the introduction of Chinese labour into South Australia's Northern Territory. First of all the South Australian government was determined to make a success of developing the tropical north, control of which it assumed in 1863 after Royal Letters Patent added its 520,000 square miles to South Australia.

El período que comprende el último cuarto del siglo XX es una época de profundos cambios en las relaciones entre los regímenes comunistas de Pekín y Pyongyang. La llegada de Deng Xiaoping al poder en 1978 y su política reformista en China alteraron de manera sustancial la naturaleza de sus relaciones con Corea del Norte. En esta tesis se ha analizado el período 1978-1997, conocido en China como los años de Deng, de las relaciones sino-norcoreanas tanto desde el punto de vista de la relación bilateral como de la relación en el contexto internacional y en especial de Asia del Nordeste.
En el primero de los casos, la relación entre los dos aliados se vio afectada negativamente por una nueva política exterior de Pekín, más pragmática y menos ideológica que la maoísta. Asimismo, la escasa adaptación de una Corea del Norte poco proclive a aceptar los cambios de los años ochenta y noventa llevó a un enfriamiento cada vez mayor entre los dos países aunque jamás hasta el punto de oficializarse una ruptura. En el segundo caso, un contexto internacional cada vez más desfavorable para Pyongyang y los cambios en la escena mundial con el final del conflicto sino-soviético y de la Guerra Fría tuvieron sus repercusiones en la relación entre chinos y norcoreanos, obligando a estos últimos a adaptarse a nueva relación con los primeros donde Pekín pudo por fin desarrollar una política hacia Corea verdaderamente independiente, pese a las tensiones ocasionadas por Pyongyang.
A partir del análisis de este período fundamental en la historia de las relaciones sino-norcoreanas, hemos podido concluir que China pasó a estar en una posición de fuerza en sus relaciones con Corea del Norte a partir de finales de los ochenta y que ello repercutió en su política hacia la península coreana. Dejando de lado al mismo tiempo su solidaridad ideológica y apostando claramente por la defensa de sus intereses nacionales, Pekín impulsó una nueva política hacia Corea a partir de los años noventa, cuya importancia radica en el hecho de que sigue siendo en la práctica la política china hacia este país en la actualidad aunque adaptándose a las circunstancias de hoy. Y como único aliado de Corea del Norte, China tiene mucho que decir en la resolución del último conflicto de la Guerra Fría que todavía queda por solucionar.
"Relations between China and North Korea during the Deng Xiaoping Era (1978-1997)"

The thesis focuses on the main changes that took place in the relationship between the People's Republic of China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the last quarter of the Twentieth Century.
My motivation to have chosen this subject of research stems from the fact that there isn't a lot of research done about the relationship between Beijing and Pyongyang. The period 1978-1997 changed the nature of this relationship, with the national interests becoming the most important aspect of it, instead of ideological solidarity or historical links with the Korean Peninsula. But there is another important aspect: the Deng Xiaoping era inaugurated a new policy towards Korea, known as "Two-Korea policy", that is the current policy of Beijing.
The Korean issue remains the last conflict originated by the Cold War that has not been resolved yet. And the role of China, the only ally of North Korea, is crucial for the resolution of this conflict.

La présente recherche doctorale retrace l’histoire de la politique de « formation idéologique » (weltanchauliche Schulung ou weltanschauliche Erziehung) mise en oeuvre entre 1933 et 1945 par la SS (Schutzstaffel), organisation qui se voulait l’élite du nazisme. Elle s’attache à croiser quatre approches : L’histoire du réseau des institutions chargées de l’elaboration et de l’application de cette politique, au centre duquel se trouvait l’ « office de l’instruction » (Schulungsamt) de la SS, qui supervisait le travail d’un « appareil d’instruction » (Schulungsapparat) de plus d’un milliers d’instructeurs présents a tous les échelons de l’organisation; l’étude des discours idéologiques et des pratiques éducatives élaborés par ces institutions et de leurs tentatives pour vulgariser et transmettre l’ideologie nazie ; les biographies des hommes qui animèrent ces institutions, constituant un groupe particulier au sein de la hiérarchie nazie; et enfin l’analyse de l’impact de ces politiques sur la masse des militants et hommes des unités militaires et policières SS. En analysant la nature de la formation prodiguée par la SS à ses hommes – à la fois tentative de forger par l’education un homme nouveau considérant tous les domaines de l’existence à l’aune du national-socialisme et volonté de constituer un corps homogène de « soldats politiques » au service du regime – et en reconstituant l’evolution de cette formation dans le contexte de la croissance, de l’expansion et des transformations de la SS, cette étude tente d’apporter une contribution à la compréhension des mentalités des hommes qui se sont engagés et ont persécuté, combattu et tué au service du « Troisième Reich »
The following doctoral research traces the history of the policy of « ideological schooling » (weltanschauliche Schulung or weltanschauliche Erziehung) developed between 1933 and 1945 by the SS (Schutzstafel), the organization that considered itself the elite of Nazism. It combines four complementary methodological approaches: an institutional history of the network of organizations tasked with elaborating and implementing the SS’s schooling program, at the center of which stood the SS-Schulungsamt (educational office), that oversaw the work an « educational apparatus » (schulungsapparat) of more than a thousand instructors present at all levels; an analysis of the ideological discourses and teaching methods elaborated by these institutions in their attempts to relay nazi ideology to the rank and file of the SS; the biographies of the men who operated the « educational apparatus », constituting a specific group of perpetrators in the Nazi hierarchy; and an evaluation of the way the SS’s own brand of education impacted those who served in its civil, military or police units. By assessing the nature of the ideological training the SS provided to its members, fruit of the attempt of forging both a new man seeing all fields of life through the lens of Nazi ideology and an homogenous troop of « political soldiers » at the service of the regime, and tracing the evolution of this educational project within the framework of the SS’s growth and transformations, this study seeks to bring a new perspective to the understanding of the mentalities of the men who committed to the cause of the « Third Reich » and fought and murdered in its name

À partir d’un corpus ouvert de photographes et de cinéastes coloristes qui ont une fascination pour le nocturne, cette thèse explore les différentes gradations et significations de celui-ci, des plus évidentes aux plus abstraites. La thèse s’attache alors à démontrer que le régime nocturne transforme l’obscurité en valeurs chromatiques et qu’il éclaire, avec une subtilité qu’occulte la vision diurne, les aspects les plus complexes de la société et de l’esprit humain. La confrontation des analyses de séquences filmiques et de photographies dans une perspective articulant esthétique, philosophie et histoire de l’art, a permis de construire la thèse autour de trois grandes notions, Distorsion, Sublimation, Transfiguration, qui fondent le nocturne comme catégorie esthétique de l’image.Le corpus principal organisé sur des critères externes (nocturne, couleur post-années 1960-70) et internes (processus esthétiques conjoints) est composé de séquences de films en couleurs de Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), de David Lynch (1946), de Brian de Palma (1940), de Francis Ford Coppola (1939) et de séries photographiques de Gregory Crewdson (1962), Bill Henson (1955), Rut Blees Luxemburg (1967) et Daniel Boudinet (1945-1990).Le corpus secondaire est constitué de séries photographiques de Darren Almond (1971), Jean-Christian Bourcart (1960), Nicolas Dhervillers (1981), Laurent Hopp (1974), Chrystel Lebas (1966), d’extraits d’un court métrage d’Antoine Barraud (1973) et d’une série TV de Nic Pizzolatto (1975) et Justin Lin (1973), nécessaire pour finaliser la démonstration
Based on a large corpus of colorist film directors and photographers who share a fascination for the nocturne, this thesis explores the different gradations and meanings of this one, from the more obvious to the more abstracts. The thesis endeavours to demonstrate how the nocturne reasserts the darkness values to turn them into colors, and how it illuminates, with a subtlety absent in diurnal vision, the more complex aspects of society as well as the human mind.The confrontation between picture and film sequences analysis, with a perspective articulating aesthetic, philosophy and art history, leads to three main concepts: Distortion, Sublimation and Transfiguration. Thereby it establishes the nocturne as an image’s aesthetic category in cinema and photography.The main corpus in cinema and photography, organised by externals criteria (nocturne, post-1960-1970 years color) and internals criteria (similar operating processes aesthetic), is established with the movie extracts of Stanley Kubrick (1928-1999), David Lynch (1946), Brian de Palma (1940), Francis Ford Coppola (1939) as well as the photographic series of Gregory Crewdson (1962), Bill Henson (1955), Rut Blees Luxemburg (1967) and Daniel Boudinet (1945-1990).The second is based on the photographic series of Darren Almond (1971), Jean-Christian Bourcart (1960), Nicolas Dhervillers (1981), Laurent Hopp (1974) and Chrystel Lebas (1966), as well as Antoine Barraud’s (1973) movie extracts. Finally, for the requirement of the demonstration, a Nic Pizzolatto (1975) and Justin Lin (1973) TV show

The air campaign conducted by the RAAF in the North-Western Area during the Second World War has been largely ignored by historians yet it contributed significantly to the outcome of the Pacific war. This thesis sets out to discuss the campaign by considering various factors that impacted on the RAAF in the lead up to and during the course of the Pacific war and their relevance to the campaign. It looks at the way air operations were conducted in the North-Western Area between 1942 and 1945 and describes the role played by the flying squadrons based in the area. Using primary sources such as operational record books, documents and files at archives and libraries and interviews with veterans and experts the thesis found that the campaign was conducted in several phases. It started with the defence of Darwin. In keeping with overall allied strategy the RAAF then went on an offensive into what was then the Netherlands East Indies (NEI) using medium and heavy bombers and mine laying sea planes flying from bases in Australia???s north west. The NEI was vital to the Japanese war effort as a source of essential raw materials such as oil, timber, and rubber. To defend this part of their new empire the Japanese had amassed large military garrisons on the islands. The vessels used to transport troops and materials became the most important targets for the RAAF???s bomber squadrons. As General MacArthur???s forces advanced along the north coast of New Guinea the North-Western Area based units conducted raids into the NEI to deceive the Japanese into thinking an invasion would be launched from Darwin. As the New Guinea campaign gained momentum the RAAF???s task was to protect its western flank, to prevent the Japanese from moving troops and aircraft east to the Philippines. The thesis concludes the campaign was successful because Darwin was defended, it denied the Japanese vital materials for the conduct of the war and it kept hundreds of aircraft and tens of thousands of troops away from the allied advance.

Qu'est-ce que le « milieu »? Que nous dit le milieu que ne nous dit ni l'espace, ni l'environnement, ni le monde? Etymologie signifiante que celle qui lie Ventre à l'autour, histoire problématique que celle d'un terme qui se retourne contre lui-même, contre ses origines physiques, au nom de l'irréductibilité du vivant dans sa relation constituante à son milieu. Une relation à la différence d'un rapport, présuppose que les termes mis en relation ne préexistent pas à leur mise en relation ; inutile donc de chercher qui de l'homme ou de son milieu détermine l'autre. Qu'est-ce qu'un individu vivant? Qu'est-ce qu'être en relation! Qu'est-ce qu'être-au-mz7/£w? La thèse proposée suppose que ces trois questions n'en sont qu'une. Le « mi-lieu », en tant qu'il désigne l'ambivalence de l'entre-deux, ne dit pas seulement quelque chose du vivant, il dit quelque chose de la philosophie. Contre ses âmes impatientes et sans histoire, trop pressées d'en finir avec les dualismes métaphysiques, nous voudrions montrer qu'il n'y a pas d'autre moyen de sortir du Deux que de s'y loger entre, au mi-lieu. Il faudra d'abord se rendre sensible à la prégnance du mi-lieu dans quelques textes canoniques, il faudra ensuite proposer une histoire du milieu, étant entendu que l'idée n'est pas le mot, ni le mot l'idée. Le nœud de l'analyse se concentrera sur le passage, devenu rupture, de la physique à la biologie. Il faudra être attentif à ce qu'on a pu nommer le Grand Dualisme du Monde et de la Vie. Faut-il s'y résigner?
What is the « milieu »? What more is there to the milieu than to space, to the environment, and to the world? The etymology that connects the "between" to the "around" is significant, as is problematic the history of a word that turns against its own self, against its physical origins, in the name of the irreducibility of the living being in its constituent relation to its milieu. A relation, as opposed to a link, presupposes that the terms brought into relation do not preexist to the interaction. It is therefore useless to seek who, of man or his milieu, determines the other. What is a living individual? What does it mean "being in relation"? What does it mean "being-to-the milieu"! This thesis assumes that these three questions are one. The "mi-lieu", designating the ambivalence of the "in-between", does not only speak of the living being, it also speaks of philosophy. Against the impatient souls without history rushing to put an end to metaphysical dualisms, we would like to show that there is no way out of the Two, other than to put oneself in between, in the mi-lieu (medium). At first, we will appreciate the pregnancy of the mi-lieu in some canonical texts. Then, we will propose a history of the milieu, given that the concept is not the word, and the word is not the concept. The core of the analysis lies in the transition, which became a breakdown, from physics to biology. Special attention will be given to what has been called the Great Dualism of the World and of Life. Do we have to surrender to it?

Francis Galton (1822-1911) made important contributions in several fields of science. Among other things, he was the founder of the Biometric School developed by Karl Pearson and Walter Frank Raphael Weldon. The aim of this dissertation is to discuss Galton s ideas on inheritance developed during the period between 1855 (when he published his first works on the subject) and 1889 (when he published the book Natural inheritance), especially focusing his theory of stirps (1872), taking into account the other microscopic models of inheritance proposed in the 19th century. Besides that, it will compare Galton s theory of stirps to Darwin s hypothesis of pangenesis. Moreover, it will try to detect if there were significant changes in Galton s thought concerning the subject during this period. It will also try to elucidate if the low impact received by the theory of stirps was due to a weak foundation. This dissertation contains an introduction and five chapters. Chapter 1 presents some microscopic models of inheritance which were proposed during the 19th century. Chapter 2 discusses Darwin s hypothesis of pangenesis and its test made by Galton. Chapter 3 analyses Galton s theory of stirps. Chapter 4 discusses about the development of Galton s theory of heredity from 1865 to 1892. Chapter 5 provides some final remarks on the subject. This study led to the conclusion that Galton s proposal presented some peculiarities which differentiated it from the other ones of his time such as the experimental test of pangenesis, the performance of several experiments with peas, dogs and the study of genealogies and in addition to this, his concern in giving a statistical treatment to the data. A comparison between his several works showed a continuity of his thoughts on heredity with no significant changes
Francis Galton (1822-1911) trouxe importantes contribuições para diversos campos da ciência. Entre outras coisas, ele foi o fundador da Escola biometricista desenvolvida por Karl Pearson e Walter Frank Raphael Weldon. O objetivo desta dissertação é discutir as idéias de Galton acerca da herança desenvolvidas durante o período compreendido entre 1855 (quando ele publicou seus primeiros trabalhos sobre o assunto) e 1889 (quando ele publicou seu livro Natural inheritance), focalizando especialmente sua teoria das estirpes (1872), levando em conta os outros modelos microscópicos de herança propostos durante o século XIX. Além disso, comparará a teoria das estirpes de Galton com a hipótese da pangênese de Darwin. Procurará detectar se houve mudanças significativas no pensamento de Galton em relação ao assunto tratado durante esse período. Procurará também elucidar se o baixo impacto recebido pela teoria das estirpes se deveu a uma fundamentação fraca. Esta dissertação contém uma introdução e cinco capítulos. O Capítulo 1 apresenta alguns modelos microscópicos de herança que foram propostos durante o século XIX. O Capítulo 2 discute a hipótese da pangênese de Darwin e seu teste feito por Galton. O Capítulo 3 analisa a teoria das estirpes de Galton. O Capítulo 4 comenta sobre o desenvolvimento da teoria da hereditariedade de Galton de 1865 a 1892. O Capítulo 5 apresenta algumas considerações finais sobre o assunto. Este estudo levou à conclusão de que a proposta de Galton apresentou algumas peculiaridades que a diferenciavam das outras propostas de sua época tais como o teste experimental da pangênese, a realização de vários experimentos com ervilhas, cachorros e o estudo de genealogias e, além disso, sua preocupação em dar um tratamento estatístico aos dados. Uma comparação entre seus diversos trabalhos mostrou a existência de uma continuidade em seus pensamentos sobre hereditariedade e a ausência de mudanças significativas. Além disso, parece que o baixo impacto recebido pela teoria das estirpes de Galton não se deveu a uma fundamentação deficiente

La présente recherche doctorale retrace l’histoire de la politique de « formation idéologique » (weltanchauliche Schulung ou weltanschauliche Erziehung) mise en oeuvre entre 1933 et 1945 par la SS (Schutzstaffel), organisation qui se voulait l’élite du nazisme. Elle s’attache à croiser quatre approches : L’histoire du réseau des institutions chargées de l’elaboration et de l’application de cette politique, au centre duquel se trouvait l’ « office de l’instruction » (Schulungsamt) de la SS, qui supervisait le travail d’un « appareil d’instruction » (Schulungsapparat) de plus d’un milliers d’instructeurs présents a tous les échelons de l’organisation; l’étude des discours idéologiques et des pratiques éducatives élaborés par ces institutions et de leurs tentatives pour vulgariser et transmettre l’ideologie nazie ; les biographies des hommes qui animèrent ces institutions, constituant un groupe particulier au sein de la hiérarchie nazie; et enfin l’analyse de l’impact de ces politiques sur la masse des militants et hommes des unités militaires et policières SS. En analysant la nature de la formation prodiguée par la SS à ses hommes – à la fois tentative de forger par l’education un homme nouveau considérant tous les domaines de l’existence à l’aune du national-socialisme et volonté de constituer un corps homogène de « soldats politiques » au service du regime – et en reconstituant l’evolution de cette formation dans le contexte de la croissance, de l’expansion et des transformations de la SS, cette étude tente d’apporter une contribution à la compréhension des mentalités des hommes qui se sont engagés et ont persécuté, combattu et tué au service du « Troisième Reich »
The following doctoral research traces the history of the policy of « ideological schooling » (weltanschauliche Schulung or weltanschauliche Erziehung) developed between 1933 and 1945 by the SS (Schutzstafel), the organization that considered itself the elite of Nazism. It combines four complementary methodological approaches: an institutional history of the network of organizations tasked with elaborating and implementing the SS’s schooling program, at the center of which stood the SS-Schulungsamt (educational office), that oversaw the work an « educational apparatus » (schulungsapparat) of more than a thousand instructors present at all levels; an analysis of the ideological discourses and teaching methods elaborated by these institutions in their attempts to relay nazi ideology to the rank and file of the SS; the biographies of the men who operated the « educational apparatus », constituting a specific group of perpetrators in the Nazi hierarchy; and an evaluation of the way the SS’s own brand of education impacted those who served in its civil, military or police units. By assessing the nature of the ideological training the SS provided to its members, fruit of the attempt of forging both a new man seeing all fields of life through the lens of Nazi ideology and an homogenous troop of « political soldiers » at the service of the regime, and tracing the evolution of this educational project within the framework of the SS’s growth and transformations, this study seeks to bring a new perspective to the understanding of the mentalities of the men who committed to the cause of the « Third Reich » and fought and murdered in its name

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of skin color on subsequent ratings of job suitability and to evaluate the influence trait based stereotypes have on these ratings. Results showed that the effect of skin color on job suitability is moderated by the race of the rater. For white raters, more favorable job suitability ratings were attributed to light skinned applicants. For black raters, more favorable job suitability ratings were attributed to dark skinned applicants. There was no basis for attributing the skin color differences to trait based stereotypes. These findings are discussed and future research goals are presented.

This thesis draws on the documentary historical record to examine the interactions between the indigenous Larrakia people and the white settlers in the colonial township of Darwin between the years 1869 and 1911. The colonial recognition of the Larrakia as the traditional owners of lands in the Darwin region and the historical question of their land rights is discussed in some detail. Rather than seeing interactions between the Larrakia and the colonisers as polarised into either accommodation or resistance, this thesis looks at various interactions to highlight the complexities of the encounter. One of the more complex of their interactions was the negotiation of what is best described as an abstruse alliance which benefited both the Larrakia and the colonisers in various ways. The colonisation of the Darwin region had a considerable impact on the Larrakia people's ability to live on their country as they had done prior to the invasion. This thesis seeks to understand the negotiations, compromises and decisions the Larrakia made to survive in their changing landscape. Another complexity that is highlighted in this thesis is the tension within the white settler population about how to deal with what was presented as the 'Aboriginal problem'. This thesis shows that the ideology of compensating Aboriginal people for having invaded their land and undermining their means of subsistence was understood and condoned by the colonisers. The distribution of government rations, the allocation of reserves and the ongoing recognition of the Larrakia's right to be within the township were all ways that some colonisers attempted to compensate Aborigines for invading their land. This thesis shows that while the Larrakia people were recognised as the prior occupants of Darwin and, as such, accorded a distinct status within the township in the whole period under study, the colonisers ultimately failed to give tangible expression to the Larrakia's land rights.

O presente trabalho visa analisar a influência do darwinismo na botânica portuguesa, no período compreendido entre 1910 e 1974, procurando averiguar a originalidade portuguesa quanto ao acolhimento da teoria darwiniana e a influência de conceitos darwinistas na investigação científica. Num primeiro momento, procurar-se-á contextualizar a problemática central do nosso estudo no quadro geral da história internacional do darwinismo, com base numa consulta que privilegiou os trabalhos assinados por autoridades consagradas na área e estudos de natureza idêntica. Em sintonia com algumas das últimas tendências dos estudos sobre a receção e a história do darwinismo, procurar-se-á ainda mostrar como em Portugal se traduziu, representou e comemorou Charles Darwin. Num segundo momento, proceder-se-á à avaliação da influência do darwinismo na produção científica de doze botânicos portugueses que exerceram a sua atividade na Universidade de Coimbra (Júlio Augusto Henriques, Luís Wittnich Carrisso, Aurélio Quintanilha e Abílio Fernandes), na Universidade de Lisboa (António Xavier Pereira Coutinho, Rui Teles Palhinha, Flávio Resende e Carlos das Neves Tavares) e na Universidade do Porto (Gonçalo Sampaio, Américo Pires de Lima, Manuel Joaquim Ferreira e Arnaldo Roseira). Através da análise, procurar-se-á averiguar se as investigações científicas dos botânicos portugueses referidos foram influenciadas pelo darwinismo. Procurar-se-á também verificar se os seus trabalhos pedagógicos e programas das disciplinas que lecionaram incluíram tópicos relacionados com a evolução, se se dedicaram à divulgação de ideias evolucionistas em Portugal, se procederam à tradução de trabalhos relevantes sob o ponto de vista dos estudos da evolução, se se mantiveram informados sobre os acontecimentos mais relevantes ao nível da história da evolução e se algum dos seus respetivos discípulos se dedicou aos estudos de evolução. Teoria da evolução que se tornou com celeridade um dos tópicos de discussão prediletos da comunidade científica, sendo amplamente debatida no plano teórico, o darwinismo não teve, contudo, uma influência imediata nas investigações conduzidas ao nível das ciências biológicas de finais do século XIX e inícios do século XX.

Erasmus Darwin’s task as a Deistic Dissenter poet who wished to promote science education to a mixed audience was complex. There was mainstream concern over what Deists and Dissenters actually believed about God, their involvement in science, and, especially, how their published works, whatever the subject, might affect public morality and politics. I argue that Darwin’s poetry is primarily in the genre of Lucretian didactic epic but that it also involves elements of other written traditions (literary and non-literary). I focus on English didactic poetry, the theological written traditions of Dissent and Deism, and a particular tradition of erotic satire. The genre of Lucretian didactic epic and the tradition of English didactic poetry are non-identical. In Darwin’s Lucretian didactic epic, resemblances to such poems as Pope’s Essay on Man challenge ideas about what kind of narrative a didactic poem in the English language can deliver. Techniques from the theological written traditions of Dissent and Deism reflect Darwin’s affiliations, signal that science education fits within a larger debate about intellectual freedom, and promote tolerance for differences of opinion about nature. Mimicry of a particular tradition of erotic satire helps to downplay the address to a mixed audience while satirising some common misconceptions about poetry, botany, and women in the period. Darwin’s poetry challenges ideas about what people from his community of belief meant to communicate or transmit by writing for the general public, what the general public was entitled to learn, and what poetry was able to teach. Perhaps Darwin’s biggest modification of Lucretian didactic epic was that he did not tell his readers exactly what to think, but how.
