Full textAbstract:
Un reto fundamental en las sociedades multiculturales es cómo fortalecer y potenciar la integración de la población inmigrada desde una perspectiva intercultural e inclusiva. Este reto adquiere una relevancia especial cuando se trata de la integración de los hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Desde esta perspectiva, esta investigación se ha centrado en analizar, desde una perspectiva amplia, los procesos de integración que están siguiendo los adolescentes de origen dominicano reagrupados por sus familias en Barcelona, concretamente, dentro del contexto sociocultural del barrio de Sant Pere, Santa Caterina y la Ribera del distrito de Ciutat Vella. Desde una concepción de la integración como un proceso dinámico, bidireccional, de interrelación entre sociedad de acogida e inmigrados, hemos desarrollado un modelo de análisis que permite realizar una interpretación de los procesos de integración en adolescentes procedentes de familias inmigradas, a partir del estudio de algunas de las dimensiones que conforman la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades que se definen como multiculturales, tales como son las dimensiones: estructural, psicosocial, social, cultura-identitaria y perspectivas de vida en el proceso de la integración. Los resultados de este estudio permiten responder a cuestiones respecto a cómo se están integrando los adolescentes de origen dominicano en el conjunto de la sociedad receptora, qué elementos les están sirviendo de apoyo o de barreras en sus procesos de integración y cómo podría la educación ayudar a fortalecer, aún más, la integración de este u otros colectivos con similares características en la sociedad de acogida.
Para responder a estas cuestiones se ha realizado esta investigación de naturaleza cualitativa orientada a la comprensión, en la que se ha utilizado la entrevista semi-estructurada como método de recogida de información. En el estudio han participado 30 adolescentes de origen dominicano, de quienes se han recogido sus experiencias migratorias y de integración en Barcelona. También, en el estudio se han obtenido las opiniones de 36 fuentes de información, tanto de la sociedad receptora como de miembros de la comunidad dominicana residente en Barcelona, sobre cómo perciben la integración de los sujetos que han sido objeto de estudio de esta investigación.
El desarrollo del estudio consta de dos grandes partes. Una primera parte, en el que exponemos el marco conceptual del que se ha partido, el cual, se refiere al “estudio de la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades multiculturales”, en esta parte se finaliza con la presentación de la metodología y diseño elaborado para el desarrollo de la investigación. Una segunda parte, en la que se presentan los resultados de los dos estudios realizados: el estudio exploratorio con diversas fuentes de información y el estudio de profundización con los propios adolescentes de origen dominicano. Posteriormente, presentamos las conclusiones generales del estudio, las bases para una propuesta de intervención socioeducativa que contribuya potenciar la integración en hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Finalmente, se señalan las limitaciones con las que nos hemos encontrado durante la realización del estudio y las prospectivas que tiene la investigación que se ha llevado a cabo.One of the fundamental challenges in multicultural societies is to strengthen and integrate the migrant population from an intercultural and inclusive perspective. This challenge is especially important when we are dealing with the integration of the children of migrant families. In this research I will analyze the integration processes that Dominican teenagers regrouped by their families in Barcelona are undertaking, particularly in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera neighborhoods in Ciutad Vella. Taking into consideration integration as a dynamic, bidirectional and interrelational process between welcoming society and immigrants, I will analyze this process through different dimensions such as: structural, psychosocial, social, cultural, identitarian and other related with life perspectives. The results of this research may answer questions like: how the Dominican teenagers are integrating in the welcoming society, what elements are they helping or damaging their integration process, how education can foster the integration of this population and others similar to them. I have used qualitative research methodology and particularly semi-structured interview to collect information. 30 Dominican teenagers participated in the research sharing with me their migratory and integration experiences in Barcelona. I also got the opinions of 36 persons either form the welcoming society and the Dominican community in Barcelona on how they perceive the integration of the teenagers, In the first part of this thesis I expose the theoretical framework in which I analyze the integration of immigrants in multicultural societies and the methodology that I chose for the research. In the second part I present the results of the research based on the fieldwork with the teenagers, the members of the Dominican community and the members of the welcoming society. Then I try to lay the basis for a socio-pedagogic intervention that could help to integrate the children of immigrant populations. Finally I highlight the limitations I had during my research and the possibility of future research.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the history of the Dominican Republic, theater has played an instrumental role in the cultural life its people, one which transcends purely artistic and cultural dimensions extending its influence into the political and social fabric of the nation. In spite of Spanish colonization and later Haitian occupation, a nascent national identity began forming early on. The staging of certain plays exposed latent conflicts and revealed sectorial, class interests. Theater provided a means of expression for popular sentiments, thus revealing an urge by the people to manifest their concerns, usually under the heavy weight of censorship. This thesis focuses on key moments of the first 140 years of Dominican Republic theater. It is organized into three chapters: "Historical Antecedents", "Theater of the Dictatorship" and "Theater of the Post-Dictatorship." The first chapter deals with the struggle for independence through 1844; the next focuses on the theatrical plays and political climate of bloody Rafael Leonidas Trujillo dictatorship which spanned from 1930 to his assassination in 1961, and the third presents the theater that appeared in the subsequent years of the equally repressive Joaquin Balaguer presidency (1966-1978). The analysis of these key historical moments, in conjunction with the dramaturgy of playwrights such as Franklin Domínguez, Marcio Veloz Maggiolo and Héctor Incháustegui Cabral, maps the function of theater as a tool of raising awareness, transmitting ideologies, and unifying a nation, in spite of despotism and oppression often disguised as democracy. As such, it documents the role that theatre played during a nation-building process that stages the history of political repression, lack of freedom of expression as well as social and political injustice.

Full textAbstract:
The integration of immigrants into host societies has been a topic of longstanding interest in the sociology of migration, whereas the study of transnationalism has only emerged in the last few years. Globalization, fueled by the rapid development of transportation and communication technologies, has been one of the principal factors in the rise of transnationalism. The aim of this study is to clarify the links between the immigrants' integration into the host society and the transnational activities in which they get involved.The initial hypothesis of this study was that immigrants' involvement in narrow transnational activities is linked to their weaker integration into Quebec society. To test this hypothesis, a series of interviews was conducted with members of the Dominican community of Montreal. These Dominicans were involved in varying levels of transnational activities within political, economic, and cultural spheres. The interviews were aimed at determining the integration process experienced by the different interviewees.
The results of this study showed, in contrast to the hypothesized predictions, that involvement in transnational activities was not linked to lesser levels of integration. In fact, the Dominicans involved in the most intensive transnational activities revealed a capacity to integrate into the receiving society as easily as other Dominicans, often showing a greater dynamism in their integration. Involvement in intensive transnational activities seems to show a capacity on the part of some immigrants to grow and develop in two universes at the same time, that of the receiving and that of the sending society.

O convento dominicano de Nossa Senhora da Consolação é uma das imagens da identidade, da história e da memória da cidade de Abrantes, sendo actualmente o único complexo religioso cenobita existente. Imóvel classificado, de propriedade pública municipal, conheceu ao longo da sua história diversas ocupações/funções, ocorrendo a última campanha de obras de adaptação de edifício a espaços culturais na década de noventa do século XX, existindo actualmente uma nova proposta de intervenção, agora para a cerca conventual e com a demolição de alguns edifícios fradescos.
A presente dissertação de Mestrado pretende, a partir de uma abordagem à história do edifício desde a sua fundação à actualidade, da sua contextualização no panorama dominicano nacional, e da sua caracterização arquitectónica sublinhar o valor patrimonial do que hoje resta do conjunto enquanto espaço conventual. Foi a partir do reconhecimento deste valor que se procurou cumprir o objectivo primacial deste trabalho: a apresentação de uma Proposta de valorização e salvaguarda para o convento e para o espaço-cerca; ABSTRACT:The Dominican Convent of Our Lady of Consolation comprises a significant part of the identity, history and memory of the City of Abrantes, being the only remaining coenobite religious complex in the city. It is a classified, public municipal landmark that has served various purposes throughout its history of occupation / function, the last having been a re-adaptation of the edifice into cultural spaces carried out in the last decade of the XX Century with extensions now projected beyond the conventual’s enclosure.
The present Masters dissertation begins with an historic approach to describe its different architectural stages from the original edifice at its foundation to the present structure. This part of the dissertation also aims to present the structure within the context of the Dominican Order as well as the national flow of history. Underlining the heritage value of the architectural make-up of what remains of the grouping of the conventual’s space. After this value has been established I seek to comply with the foremost objective of this work; the presentation of a proposal to value and safeguard the convent and the surrounding space.

que serviu de suporte a este trabalho, o Tombo do Convento de S. Domingos
de Évora. A partir do século XIII o mosteiro estava em íntima relação com a
cidade, porque os dominicanos, além de serem mais ligados ao ensino e à
pregação popular, à cultura e às elites urbanas, privilegiavam as cidades mais
importantes. Como espaço de implantação dos seus conventos, a crescente
importância de Évora no final da Idade Média explica a instalação relativamente
precoce desta Ordem e o engrandecimento deste mosteiro.

Testaments, donations and spirituality of St. Dominic’s Monastery of Évora in the
period between 1440 and 1520
The present study consists of an analysis of testaments and donations to St.
Dominic’s Monastery in the period between 1440 and 1520 according to the source
used for this work, the Cartulary of St. Dominic’s Monastery of Évora.
From the 13th century onwards the monastery was in close relationship with the city,
since the Dominicans, besides being more attached to teaching and to popular
preaching as well as to culture and the urban elite also favoured the most important
cities. Known as a space of implantation of its convents, the growing importance of
Évora at the end of the Middle Ages explains the relatively precocious installation of
this Order here and the elevation of this particular monastery.
Several members of the nobility chose the Dominican monastery as the place for
seeking spiritual support and thus leaving it, by will, properties, houses and other
valuable assets in exchange for the spiritual favours of its monks as a means to
reach eternal life.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorEsta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre História e ficção a partir da reconstrução do massacre de haitianos, em 1937, na fronteira norte da República Dominicana e da República do Haiti, dois países que formavam a então ilha Hispaniola, quando da chegada de Cristóvão Colombo no Novo Mundo. O corpus ficcional deste trabalho é o romance El Masacre se pasa a pie, do escritor e advogado dominicano Freddy Prestol Castillo, publicado em 1978, na República Dominicana. Nossa hipótese para desenvolver este trabalho foi a de que para reconstruir o genocídio dos haitianos pela ficção, o autor denuncia a ditadura de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961), o Trujillato, focalizando o racismo, o preconceito, a violência e aspectos negativos nutridos na memória coletiva da elite dominicana para sustentar uma rejeição histórica aos haitianos. Utilizamos um referencial teórico que nos permite buscar articulações entre História e ficção no referido romance e para isso, foi necessário recorrer aos fatos históricos que registram as diversas invasões à Hispaniola, a partir dos conceitos de racismo de Memmi (1967) e de memória, de Halbwachs (1990).
This dissertation presents a reflection on history and fiction from the reconstruction of the slaughter of haitians, in 1937, on the northern border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, two countries that then formed the island of Hispaniola , when the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. The body of this fictional work in the novel The Slaughter passed on foot, the writer and lawyer dominican Freddy Prestol Castillo, published in 1978 in the Dominican Republic. Our hypothesis to develop this work was that to rebuild the haitian genocide in fiction , the author claims the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961) , the Trujillato , focusing on racism , prejudice , violence and aspects negative nourished in the collective memory of the dominican elite to support a historic rejection of haitians. We use a theoretical framework that allows us to look for links between history and fiction in the aforementioned novel and that it was necessary to seek the historical facts recorded the various invasions of Hispaniola, from the concept of racism Memmi (1967) and memory, Halbwachs (1990).

This paper aims at analyzing the cases of heresy found in the Golden Legend, which was compiled by Jacobus de Voragine. This collection of hagiographies was compiled in the second half of the thirteenth century and it was extremely successful back then. Over a thousand manuscripts in Latin and several translations to vernacular languages confirm its success. The objective of our research was to demonstrate that heresy is not a minor theme in the Golden Legend. First, we identified the texts in which cases of heresy were mentioned. Then, we came to the conclusion that this theme is major not because of its many occurrences, but due to the circumstances in which theses cases were cited - circumstances involving the Dominican Order fighting heresies (especially Catharism), preaching and writing History

Full textAbstract:
In 2013, the Dominican Republic’s highest court ruled to revoke birthright citizenship for over 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent. Ruling TC 168-13 prompted dialogue about race and racism in the country, breaking the racial silence that accompanies mestizaje (racial mixture). Scholars viewed this ruling through the lens of “Black denial” whereby Dominicans’ failure to adopt Black identities, despite being largely afrodescendant, fuels the racialization of Haitians as Black. Less evident in examinations of Dominican racial politics are anti-racist and anti-xenophobic organizing. Addressing the gap in scholarship on Dominican blackness, this dissertation project adopts an ethnographic approach to examine how Domicans of Haitian descent, most notably through Reconoci.do, a movement of denationalized youth, as well as the natural hair movement, engage with race. As one of the few well-articulated areas of Dominican society engaged with blackness, the natural hair movement provides a useful counterpoint for examining the intersections between blackness and Haitianess. In this work, I propose that natural hair has the potential to destabilize Haitian racialization yet, concurrently threatens to decouple the anti-racist movement from Dominico-Haitian struggles. These intersections illuminate the complex relationships within the heterogenous anti-racist movement.
Through a historically rooted examination of constructions of race and nation in immigration policies, censuses, and national identity cards, this dissertation asserts that immigration policies were designed to benefit the dominant sugarcane economy at the expense of migrants and thus state efforts in 2014 to address indocumentation continued earlier discriminatory patterns, disproportionately impacting the Haitian diaspora. These practices are best understood as spectacles (De Genova 2013) that produce migrant illegality and, in particular, an inherited illegality for Dominican-born children that violates their constitutional rights to citizenship. Furthermore, the state constructs the population as non-black while publicly undermining anti-racist organizing and this research finds that activists draw on transnational images of blackness to challenge national representations of a modern blackness. Identifying mestizaje and the color continuum as obstacles to organizing, many activists conceptualize blackness as hypodescent, whereby any African ancestry engenders a Black identity. I argue that, while essentialist, this strategy broadens identification with Dominico-Haitians.

Full textAbstract:
En este trabajo de Tesis Doctoral exploro los mundos y vidas juveniles de descendientes de familias mixtas y no-mixtas ecuatorianas y dominicanas en Barcelona. Me pregunto por los diferentes aspectos claves en la configuración de estas vidas y analizo las prácticas, expresiones e identificaciones socioculturales que emplean los jóvenes en estos ámbitos.
La condición de ‘ser joven’ —tener una determinada edad biológica e identidad social— se ha cristalizado como el hilo conductor que atraviesa todos estos aspectos de forma transversal. La experiencia de ser joven organiza las demás experiencias vitales que se ubican, de forma importante, en las actividades de ocio y culturas juveniles, en el ámbito de los estudios y en los espacios familiares, particularmente en la relación con los padres. Temas como la apariencia física, ‘la popularidad’ y el posicionamiento en los espacios juveniles resultan, además, centrales para entender las expresiones juveniles. Analizo las prácticas e identificaciones socioculturales de los jóvenes desde sus contextos sociodemográficos —su lugar de residencia— y desde sus relaciones sociales personales que mantienen con diferentes personas. Mientras que los propios jóvenes dan poca importancia a las auto-identificaciones de índole nacional o étnico, experiencias de racialización o racismo pueden influir, según el caso, en la forma cómo los jóvenes se definen en relación con otros en la sociedad catalana. La clase social y el género atraviesan de forma transversal las experiencias y prácticas en los distintos ámbitos vitales de los jóvenes. Además, hago hincapié en la biografía personal y familiar de los jóvenes como motor importante detrás de muchas de las prácticas y expresiones juveniles.
El enfoque amplio sobre las realidades y vidas de los jóvenes se ve reflejado en la propuesta metodológica. Consiste en la realización de 24 estudios de caso en profundidad —complementados por 10 entrevistas— con adolescentes y jóvenes de un perfil variado, entre 13 y 23 años y con residencia en diferentes barrios del área metropolitana de Barcelona. El trabajo de campo se realizó entre los años 2013 y 2016.
La propuesta metodológica consiste, más concretamente, en la aplicación de un conjunto de diversas técnicas de investigación, adecuadas para adolescentes y jóvenes y que permiten entender las realidades juveniles desde diferentes ángulos. Esta técnicas incluyen propuestas innovadoras como el uso de ‘Mapas mentales’, el ‘Juego de asociaciones’ o el ‘Paseo guiado por el barrio’.
Se trata de un estudio exploratorio, sobre un tema poco investigado en España y Cataluña, y con un claro enfoque etnográfico.In this Doctoral Thesis, I explore the worlds and lives of descendants of mixed and non-mixed Ecuadorian and Dominican families in Barcelona. I wonder about the different key aspects in the configuration of the young people’s lives and analyse their practices, expressions and socio-cultural identifications in these areas. The condition of 'being young' —having a certain biological age and a particular social identity— turned out to be the guiding thread that crosses all these aspects transversally. The experience of 'being young' organizes other vital experiences that are connected to leisure activities and youth cultures on the one hand, and to obligational studies and the family space on the other hand, particularly within the relationships with their parents. Topics such as physical appearance, 'popularity' and positioning in youth spaces are also central to understanding certain youth expressions. In addition, I analyse socio-cultural practices and identifications of young people from their sociodemographic contexts —place of residence— and from their personal social relationships with different people. While young people themselves give little importance to national or ethnical self-identifications, experiences of racialization or racism may, depending on the case, influence how young people understand themselves in relation to others in Catalan society. Social class and gender cross transversally experiences and practices of young people in their different vital areas. Furthermore, I emphasize the personal and family biography of young people as important possible motivations behind many youth practices and expressions. This broad approach to the realities and lives of young people’s lives —of Ecuadorian, Dominican and Catalan origin— is reflected in the methodological approach. I realized 24 in-depth case studies with adolescents and young people of a varied profile, all of them between 12 and 23 years old and residents of different neighbourhoods in the metropolitan area of Barcelona. The methodological proposal consists, more specifically, in the application of a set of different research techniques, suitable for adolescents and young people and with which I pretended to be able to explore young people’s realities from different angles. These techniques include innovative proposals such as the use of 'Mind maps', an 'Association game' or a 'Guided walk through the Neighbourhood'. This research is basically exploratory, on a subject with little research done in Spain and Catalonia, and ethnographic.

Tesis para optar al grado de magíster en estudios internacionalesEsta investigación tiene por objeto establecer las diversas consecuencias que ha provocado la privación del derecho a la nacionalidad en la que se encuentran actualmente los Dominicanos de ascendencia Haitiana en República Dominicana. A través del desarrollo de cuatro capítulos, se estudiará las repercusiones de las medidas impuestas por República Dominicana a los afectados con la negación del derecho a la nacionalidad desde la perspectiva de los derechos humanos. Desde el estudio de los derechos humanos se ha buscado establecer las consecuencias del actuar del Estado de República Dominicana al desconocer la atribución de nacionalidad concedida a través de principio de Ius Soli a los dominicanos de ascendencia haitiana. A través de una investigación cualitativa, y entrevistas de personas afectadas, se han establecido cuáles son las consecuencias de la privación del derecho a la nacionalidad y las de una eventual condición de apátridas, tales como la afectación de derechos: acceso a la salud, a educación, a la seguridad y a un justo y debido proceso. Desde esta perspectiva se han estudiado la Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional Dominicano, que defiende la postura del Estado Dominicano de un ejercicio legítimo de su soberanía, y por otra parte, se ha analizado la Sentencia de la Corte Interamericana de derechos humanos, que condena las medidas implementadas. 2 Por último se han realizado entrevistas en las cuales se recogen las afectaciones y privaciones de derechos desde los propios relatos de las víctimas. Se ha cerrado esta investigación con un último capítulo en el cual se estudian las consecuencias del desconocimiento de la nacionalidad y las medidas que el Estado Dominicano ha adoptado para minimizar la afectación de garantías de las víctimas, las cuales al cierre de esta investigación no han sido implementadas en los términos ordenados por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.

Full textAbstract:
La division de l’île d’Hispaniola depuis la colonisation européenne a laissé des traces qui perdurent dans les conflits sociopolitiques, culturels et économiques actuels entre la République d’Haïti et la République Dominicaine. Cette étude qui se fonde notamment sur les théories de l’éducation et une approche décoloniale questionne les contextes historiques, socio-politiques et théoriques des systèmes éducatifs en République d’Haïti et en République Dominicaine en vue de comprendre la construction du rejet de l’Autre haïtien ou de l’Autre dominicain entre ces deux Nations, présentes pourtant sur une seule et même île. Il ressort que les écoles haïtiennes et dominicaines, lieux de socialisation des hommes et des femmes, sont aussi des lieux d’exclusion sociale et de marginalisation.Haïti et la République Dominicaine, « deux sœurs siamoises » ayant au départ une histoire commune, se retrouvent aujourd’hui dos-à-dos en raison de conflits quotidiens depuis l’émergence de leurs identités nationales en 1804 et 1844. C’est pourquoi il est important de mieux comprendre la construction de ces identités et les nationalismes attenants afin d’appréhender le poids de ces conflits identitaires dans les dérapages actuels. Nous avons alors choisi d’analyser en une étude comparative la représentation de l’Autre haïtien et de l’Autre dominicain à partir des manuels scolaires d’Histoire et de Géographie, du collège au lycée, car ces manuels scolaires sont des vecteurs essentiels d’instruction et de socialisation destinés à former les futurs citoyens de l’île.En analysant les programmes officiels depuis 2000 en République d’Haïti et en République Dominicaine, entre orientations officielles et réalités, et en les rapportant aux manuels scolaires d’Histoire et de Géographie du collège au lycée, il s’agit de démontrer combien les objectifs spécifiques des ministères éducatifs haïtien et dominicain pour la formation des hommes et des femmes haïtiens et dominicains d’aujourd’hui demeurent fondés sur un système colonial et sur un choix d’idéologies d’opposition vis-à-vis de l’Autre et au service des idéologies dominantes.Nous notons toutefois une différence d’orientation entre les manuels scolaires d’Histoire et de Géographie d’Haïti et de la République Dominicaine étant donné que les manuels scolaires haïtiens choisissent le silence par rapport à la République Dominicaine et même en ce qui concerne leur histoire récente. Lorsqu’Haïti omet sciemment la République Dominicaine dans ses manuels scolaires, l’Autre dominicain est nié et cela ne peut faciliter un vivre-ensemble.Les manuels dominicains traitent, quant à eux, d’Haïti, mais la représentation de la République d’Haïti dans ces manuels scolaires privilégie les périodes passées et ces représentations tendent parfois à une certaine exagération négative envers l’Autre haïtien.En conséquence, cette étude montre que les États haïtien et dominicain ont fait et continuent de faire des choix de constructions identitaires en opposition l’un par rapport à l’autre rendant ainsi difficile une réunion apaisée sur une seule et même île.Les manuels scolaires ne sont-ils pourtant pas des leviers d’avenir (utopique ?) pour un vivre-ensemble qui permettrait d’aider à dépasser les marginalisations réelles de ces deux pays dont les peuples souffrent de misère économique et souvent intellectuelle du fait d’une École défaillante ?The division of the island of Hispaniola since European colonization has left traces that persist through the current socio-political, cultural and economic conflicts between the Republic of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Based particularly on the theories of education and a decolonial approach, this study questions the historical, socio-political and theoretical contexts of the Haitian and Dominican education systems in order to understand the construction of the rejection of the Haitian Other or the Dominican Other between these two Nations, yet present on one and the same island. For, it appears that Haitian and Dominican schools, places of socialization of men and women, are also places of social exclusion and marginalization.Haiti and the Dominican Republic, « two Siamese sisters » having originally a common history, are now back-to-back because of the daily conflicts that have existed since the formation of their respective national identities in 1804 and 1844. This is why it is important to better understand the construction of these identities and the accompanying nationalisms in order to understand the weight of these identity conflicts in current slippages. Thus, we have decided to rely on a comparative study for analyzing the representation of the Haitian Other and the Dominican Other in their respective fundamental level and secondary school ‘s textbooks of History and Geography. For, these textbooks are essential vectors of instruction and socialization intended to train the future citizens of the island.By analyzing the Haitian and Dominican official programs from 2000 on, between official orientations and realities, and relating them to the textbooks of History and Geography used for fundamental level and secondary school, it is a question of demonstrating that for the training of Haitian and Dominican men and women today, how much the objectives of the Haitian and Dominican educational ministries remain based on a colonial system and a choice of opposition ideologies vis-à-vis the Other and at the service of dominant ideologies.However, we have noticed a difference of orientation between Haiti’s History and Geography textbooks and the Dominican Republic’s ones. Those of Haiti are characterized by a silence on issues related to the Dominican Republic, including its recent history. Therefore, when Haiti knowingly omits the Dominican Republic in its textbooks, it implies that the Dominican Other is denied. That does not work in favor of living together. Actually, the Dominican textbooks deal with Haiti. But the presentation they make of the Republic of Haiti and its history sometimes tends to negative exaggeration towards the Haitian Other.As a result, this study shows that the Haitian and Dominican states have made and continue to make choices of identity constructions in opposition to one another, which makes it difficult to have a peaceful reunion on one and the same island. Yet, are textbooks not levers of the future (utopian?) for a living-together which would help overcome the real marginalization of these two countries whose population share suffering from economic and often intellectual misery because of a failing education?
La división de la isla de La Española desde la colonización europea ha dejado huellas que siguen presentes en los actuales conflictos sociopolíticos, culturales y económicos entre la República de Haití y la República Dominicana. Este estudio, que se vale en particular de las teorías de la educación y de un enfoque descolonial, cuestiona los contextos históricos, sociopolíticos y teóricos de los sistemas educativos de la República de Haití y la República Dominicana, con el objetivo de comprender la construcción del rechazo del Otro haitiano o del Otro dominicano entre estados o naciones que comparten una misma isla. Parecen por lo tanto las escuelas haitianas y dominicanas, lugares de socialización de hombres y mujeres, ser también lugares de exclusión social y marginación.Haití y la República Dominicana, « dos hermanas siamesas » que inicialmente tenían una historia común, hoy se dan la espalda debido a los conflictos cotidianos desde la formación de sus identidades nacionales en 1804 y 1844. Por consiguiente, resulta importante comprender mejor la construcción de estas identidades y los nacionalismos para entender el peso de dichos conflictos de identidad en los desaciertos o las incongruencias actuales. Dado que los manuales escolares son vectores esenciales de instrucción y socialización destinados a capacitar a los futuros ciudadanos de dos naciones y por ende de la isla, elegimos analizar, a través de un estudio comparativo, la representación del Otro haitiano y del Otro dominicano en esos libros de Historia y Geografía, desde el nivel fundamental o medio (el colegio) y la enseñanza de secundaria (el liceo).Al analizar los programas oficiales de enseñanza de Historia y Geografía, a partir del año 2000, en ambas naciones, y relacionarlos con los manuales tanto del colegio como del liceo, entre orientaciones oficiales y realidades, se trata de demostrar que en ambos países los objetivos específicos de sus respectivos ministerios de educación, encargados de la formación de hombres y mujeres ciudadanos haitianos y dominicanos de hoy, se fundamentan en un sistema colonial y en la elección de ideologías de oposición respecto al Otro, que están al servicio de las ideologías de la élite.Sin embargo, notamos una diferencia de orientación entre los libros de Historia y Geografía de Haití y los de la República Dominicana. Los manuales haitianos eligen el silencio en cuanto a la República Dominicana e incluso en cuanto a su historia reciente. Cuando Haití omite a sabiendas a la República Dominicana en sus libros de texto, se niega al Otro dominicano, lo que no facilita la convivencia entre ambas naciones. En cuanto a los manuales dominicanos, acerca de la representación de la República de Haití se da prioridad a la enseñanza de períodos históricos pasados en los que muchas veces se tienden a cierta exageración negativa hacia el Otro haitiano.Así pues, este estudio muestra que los estados haitiano y dominicano han tomado y siguen tomando decisiones identitarias que inducen a oponerse entre sí, lo que dificulta la cohabitación pacífica entre ambos estados reunidos en una misma isla.¿No tendrán los manuales escolares que facilitar un futuro (utópico) para una convivencia que permita superar la marginación real de dos naciones cuyos pueblos sufren de miseria económica y a menudo intelectual debido a la existencia de una escuela deficiente?

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the negotiating style of the Dominican negotiator. The research presented is of qualitative nature -a phenomenology study- which looks at a single country: the Dominican Republic. Two major research strategies used in this research are (a) in-depth interviews with negotiators and observers and (b) a cultural survey instrument of Dominican managers. Data has been collected from primary sources, through interviews of negotiators in the private and public sector and through surveys completed by managers and negotiators. After distilling the interview through horizonalization and other qualitative analyses methods, within-case and across-case analysis were done to determine key findings of each interview. This dissertation provides an insight into the cultural profile of Dominicans, as the foundation to create a descriptive profile of the Dominican negotiator.

Full textAbstract:
Fathermen is an ethnographic journey in the kinship lives of men on the island of Dominica, West Indies. It traces the various complexities, conundra and contradictions Dominican men encounter and create as they navigate relational life trajectories. These are termed kinship predicaments: moments in kin-lives that trouble hegemonic concepts of fatherhood and masculine personhood; that spark ambivalence between dominant ideals and lived experiences; that provoke quarrels between mothers' expectations and fathers' practices; and expose incongruities between established norms and emerging forms. Seeking to transcend the historical and contemporary circumscriptions that stereotype Caribbean fathers as absent studs or patriarchal authoritarians, this enquiry asks how Dominican men chart their own paths of paternal becoming. Developing an intuitive participatory methodology, referred to as the ethnography of relation, Fathermen commutes into the kin-worlds of Caribbean men, seeking to understand fatherhood through deep dialogue as it is built from the ground up. Organising its chapters around local idioms through which Dominicans frame kinship, Fathermen features discussions on: the romantic and conjugal tensions that precede/inform parenting; the ‘mystic' bodily affects that draw men into reproduction; the vexed norm of paternal provision; Caribbean fathers' emergent nurturant practices; the classed politics of paternal recognition; and, finally, men's ambivalent intergenerational experiences of becoming grandfathers. Fathermen argues that it often takes a lifetime to realise fatherhood, with many Dominican men unable to resolve its many paradoxes within their mortal spans. Whilst it contends that men are ‘tied' tighter into kin-life as they grow along their paternal journeys, ambivalences persist. Yet still, amidst angst and complexity, Fathermen is nonetheless an ethnography of love, dedication, familial vitality, creativity and humour.

Full textAbstract:
Los estudios sobre la participación femenina en actividades filantrópicas y caritativas de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y principios del XX están adquiriendo un gran desarrollo en Argentina, pero todavía las congregaciones religiosas no han tenido un desarrollo extensivo. Esta tesis procura cubrir este vacío historiográfico. La indagación sobre la experiencia religiosa y el compromiso político de un grupo de mujeres pertenecientes a la Orden Dominicana en Tucumán, examinando el contexto social y eclesial en que ellas realizaron su proceso de construcción de identidad, constituye el objetivo fundamental de esta tesis.
El marco temporal en que este objetivo se desarrolla es el comprendido entre 1886 y 1911, justificado en el primer caso por el año en que se inicia la epidemia de cólera en Tucumán y el consecuente surgimiento del primer Asilo de Huérfanos de la Provincia y, en el segundo, por el fallecimiento de Elmina Paz, una de las fundadoras y propulsora de este emprendimiento. Esta etapa histórica coincide con el proceso de formación del estado-nación en Argentina.
El título de la tesis pretende expresar el motivo típico de toda experiencia religiosa; el itinerario vital, el viaje, el exilio interior y exterior que todo sujeto realiza en la búsqueda de lo sagrado, de lo divino, de lo que trasciende su vida. El "fondo del alma" es un tópico propio del camino místico, formulado especialmente por la tradición dominicana del siglo XIV y que en las religiosas del siglo XIX actúa como símbolo del proceso de subjetivación, introspección y búsqueda de intimidad propios también de la modernidad.
Esta investigación sobre la experiencia religiosa y el compromiso político de un grupo de mujeres nos sitúa en el ámbito de la historia de las mujeres, de la historia política, social y de la espiritualidad. Las variables mujer, religión y política, estructuran los diversos senderos de este estudio.
Las fuentes analizadas provenientes de archivos eclesiásticos y civiles, sugirieron una estructuración de esta tesis en tres partes -a modo de círculos concéntricos- que pretende realizar una itinerancia hacia adentro, hacia el núcleo más individual de la existencia humana, en la convicción que los análisis de la historia política se fundan en los itinerarios vitales individuales, en la experiencia singular.
Así se estudia a la Iglesia y la Orden Dominicana en el Tucumán decimonónico en el proceso de secularización del siglo XIX; la fundación y organización de la Congregación de Dominicas y la experiencia religiosa de las mujeres analizando el viaje interior, los procesos de individuación, los itinerarios subjetivos de la creencia. En este itinerario se observan los espejos del pasado, los modelos de la tradición mistagógica de la orden dominicana y las imágenes de santidad femenina. La práctica del diálogo, la confesión y la dirección espiritual en la configuración de la experiencia religiosa se a analiza a partir del intercambio epistolar, como instrumento principal de construcción de subjetividades.The studies on female participation in philanthropic and charitable activities during the XIX and XX centuries are acquiring a considerable development in Argentina, but religious congregations have not had an extensive growth yet. This thesis intends to address this historiographic void through research of the religious experience, social and ecclesial contexts and political commitment of a group of women belonging to the Dominican Order of Tucumán. The period studied goes from 1886, the beginning of the cholera epidemy and subsequent creation of the first Orphans Asylum of Tucumán, to 1911, year of the demise of Elmina Paz, one of the founders and organizers of this institution. This historic period coincides with the formation process of the nation-state in Argentina. The title of the thesis is aimed at expressing the typical motive of every religious experience; the vital itinerary, the trip that every individual undertakes in the search of what is sacred in life. The “bottom of the soul” is a characteristic subject of the mystical road especially formulated by the dominican tradition of the XIV century. This subject is the symbol of the subjectivation process and intimacy search of XIX century religious women that extends into modernity. This investigation takes place in the context of the history of women and spirituality and political and social history. The variables woman, religion and politics make up the different paths of this work. The sources analyzed mainly come from church and civilian archives. The thesis is divided in three parts that deal with the Church and the Dominican Order in Tucumán during the secularization process, the foundation and organization of the Congregation of Dominican Sisters and the religious experience of women.

Full textAbstract:
This goal of this study is to discern the ways in which women's subjectivities have changed through the processes of decolonisation, modernization, and nation building between the 1930s and 2000 in rural Dominica. The relationship between the shifting conditions of colonial and postcolonial life in its material, political, social, and cultural aspects, and the change in the discourses that relate to proper behaviour (moral discourses) are examined. I have explored the ways in which women position themselves with relation to these discourses (which could be called moral discourses), through how they employ them in their representations, and how they negotiate them, engaging them in the creation of what could be called an 'ethics of self.' The research, carried out over a one-year period in the village of La Plaine in Eastern Dominica, involved participant observation in the village; life history interviews with women of three generations; the analysis of skits and pageants; and documentary research involving primary and secondary sources. Several discursive themes emerged in the analyses: women's use of accounts of the past to critique the present, in what I have called critical nostalgia; the change in values epitomized by the notion of respect that formed the basis of local relations and which has begun to disappear with the change in governance and economic relations; the ambivalences involved in gender relations, especially those associated with expectations of women towards men and women's autonomy from men that derive from historical circumstances of colonization and decolonization; and the celebration and discursive dissemination of values that associate femininity with the political entity that Dominica has become. Differences found between women's expressions in both the discourses they engaged with, and in the particular ways they used them to frame their experiences, were related mainly to age and socio-historical changes, but also to socio-economic background.

Previous issue date: 2015-02-24This study aims the presence of the Preachers Organization, which it is more known as Dominican Organization in the backcountry of the Old North of Goias, mainly in the city of Porto Nacional where the Dominican French Province of Tolouse established in the year of 1886 the Convent( religious order) Santa Rosa de Lima as the central office of the third building organization of the Social Structure in Brazil and in the Parish of Bishop of Goias.This organization intended to attend the perspectives of the project of Romanization of Catholic Church in Brazil which the Brazilian Episcopade was responsible for. The Dominican Mission of Porto Nacional had for aim the renovation of people, the renovation of the Clergy (Christian Ministers) and the evangelization. For this intention it was used many strategies of working as the missions in the parishes, as desobrigasthe duties of the principle of lent, for much time in the village and for all the country area under the jurisdiction of the mission, the built of large religious buildings and the projects in the educacional area. During the 58 years of permanency of the French Dominican Friars in Porto Nacional (1886-1994) their contributions for the country man from the Old North of Goias were countless ones, in a special way for the Portuense City. Through the analisys of various historical source, mainly the ones that were provided by the File of the Dominican Organization in Brazil it was possible to know the history and understand the presence, the legacy of the Preachers Organization to this region.
Este trabalho aborda a presença da Ordem dos Pregadores, mais conhecida como Ordem Dominicana, no sertão do antigo norte de Goiás, principalmente na cidade de Porto Nacional, onde a Província Dominicana francesa de Tolouse instaurou no ano de 1886 o Convento Santa Rosa de Lima como sede da terceira fundação da ordem no Brasil e na Diocese de Goiás. Essa fundação visava a atender as perspectivas do projeto de romanização da Igreja Católica no Brasil assumido pelo episcopado brasileiro. A missão dominicana de Porto Nacional tinha por objetivos a reforma do povo, a reforma do clero e a evangelização. Neste intuito, aplicaram diversas estratégias de trabalho, como as missões nas paróquias, as desobrigas de tempos em tempos, nos povoados e por toda a zona rural sob a jurisdição da missão , as construções de prédios religiosos e os projetos na área da educação. Durante os cinquenta e oito anos da permanência dos frades dominicanos franceses em Porto Nacional (1886-1944), suas contribuições para com os sertanejos do antigo norte de Goiás foram inúmeras, de forma especial à cidade portuense.Por meio da análise das diversas fontes históricas, sobretudo das fornecidas pelo Arquivo da Província Dominicana no Brasil, foi possível historicizar e compreender a presença e o legadoda Ordem dos Pregadores à região.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis addresses some aspects of the breeding biology of Dominican Gulls (Larus dominicanus) in Tasman Bay, Nelson Province, New Zealand. A synopsis of a 10 year (1980-91) nest count and banding programme of chicks is given, which illustrates an apparent reduction in pairs nesting over that period. There were significant changes in food resources available to the gulls in 1987 with the
closure of several rubbish tips and fish offal dumping sites. These closures did not appear to make any difference to mean clutch size and yet the numbers of gulls breeding continued to drop.
In the thesis, I review Lack's hypothesis (1954, 1968) of population regulation and conclude that the hypothesis is unlikely to explain a number of anomalies in the breeding behaviour of local populations of Dominican Gulls. Field work in three relatively small breeding colonies on Rabbit and Bells Islands in the Waimea Inlet near Nelson, is described over two breeding seasons. Sexual dimorphism of adults, pair bonding, and nest site fidelity were studied, together with the recording of egg size and weight, date of laying, clutch size, hatching dates and chick weights. Egg temperature studies were maintained throughout the incubation period. Results indicate that strong pair bonding occurs, and nest site fidelity is developed equally strongly after advantageous sites within the colony have been gained.
There is a hierarchy within the nesting colonies with a gradient of increasing breeding success from the outer perimeter of the site toward the epi-centre of the colony. Nest density plays an important part in breeding success and densities in excess of 350 nest/ha initiate a tension factor within nesting colonies, which leads to parasitism and other behaviour inimical to breeding success. It is high nest densities which may eventually lead to colony abandonment. Nesting colonies develop and wane in a cyclic manner with nest densities appearing to play an important role in the dynamic pattern of the colonies.
Incubation appears to start as soon as the first egg is laid, and mean egg temperatures increase as incubation progresses. Embryonic heat generation can control the rate of cooling of eggs and also the rate by which eggs are restored to full incubation temperature after being uncovered by the incubating parent. Eggs can survive temperatures in excess of 40 degrees C and low temperatures of 20 degrees C during the incubation period and still produce healthy chicks.
Parental investment in the offspring, is not in terms of clutch size, nor is brood reduction attained primarily by asynchronous hatching. Rather, female parents manipulate egg quality within the clutch, and apportion investment between A, Band C eggs depending on body weight of the female and the circumstance of the nesting colony in terms of its cyclical development.
It is concluded that the local populations of Dominican Gulls react in an opportunistic way to the immediate circumstances of the environment, and that factors of experience and learning are likely to influence breeding patterns of behaviour more than the adaptations by natural selection, seen by Lack as those factors which ensure the raising of the greatest number of offspring possible.
I conclude that the local population of Dominican Gulls is behaving in a similar way to that hypothesised by Wynne-Edwards (1962), whereby animals attain a homeostatic state and regulate their own population numbers in order not to over-exploit the local food resource. High nest densities, infertility in eggs, and high levels of predation of both eggs and fledglings are the probable factors which have most effect on population density and breeding success, whereas food resources do not appear to have an immediate limiting effect.

Full textAbstract:
Magíster en Gestión y Políticas PúblicasEn los últimos años la República Dominicana ha venido presentando altos índices de violencia y delincuencia que han llamado la atención tanto de las autoridades como de la ciudadanía, sin embargo pocos estudios se han enfocado en el tema. El presente estudio de caso evalúa la relación de los factores socioeconómicos, institucionales y demográficos de la República Dominicana con la violencia, expresada a través del delito violento, en los 155 municipios urbanos y rurales que integran el país. Asumiendo que la violencia tiene un origen multicausal, la hipótesis de este estudio sostiene que los factores del socioeconómicos, institucionales y demográficos tienen incidencia en los niveles de violencia en República Dominicana. El estudio está basado en las teorías económicas de la elección racional enfocadas en el crimen, realizada por Becker (1968) y Ehrlich (1975), en las teorías sociales de anomía y frustración de Durkheim (1893) y Agnew (1989) y en la teoría del control social de Hirschi (1969). Respecto al concepto de violencia, se recurre a la literatura nacional e internacional y a la disponibilidad de datos, para verificar los delitos violentos que representan dicho fenómeno. Respecto a las variables explicativas de los factores socioeconómicos, institucionales y demográficos, se recurrió a la literatura internacional y se contrastó con el marco teórico. Para la constatación de la hipótesis se realizó un análisis estadístico donde se describió la relación entre las variables y un análisis econométrico a través de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO) donde se analizaron las variables explicativas del delito junto con la descripción de los casos críticos arrojados por el modelo. Los modelos arrojaron tres principales resultados: un primer resultado muestra que no existe evidencia estadísticamente significativa que demuestre que las variables de la dimensión socioeconómica, nivel socioeconómico bajo, educación y empleo, tienen un efecto directo sobre el delito violento. Un segundo resultado indica que los factores demográficos como la densidad poblacional y la población entre 15 y 29 años, tienen influencia en los robos violentos, no así en los homicidios. Un tercer resultado muestra que ninguna de las dimensiones planteadas en este estudio tuvo efectos estadisticamente significativos sobre los homicidios debido al comportamiento convivencial de los mismos.

Full textAbstract:
The late medieval and early modern church in Scotland has been under studied. The contrast with the voluminous bibliography on the Scottish Reformation could not be greater. The Franciscan Order was the subject of a two volume history written by William M. Bryce and published in 1909 and there has been recent work on the monastic foundations, by Mark Dilworth, published in 1995. The research on the Order of Friars Preachers presented here complements these works but also stands with them in something of a historiographical vacuum. Primary sources were found to be more abundant than this lack of secondary study might suggest. This thesis draws upon a wide range of manuscripts including the exchequer rolls, the treasurers accounts, burgh records, commissary court records, court of session records, private collections and the Vatican Archives. This evidence points to and reflects the view that the Dominican Order was a central feature of civic Christianity and at the forefront of the Catholic Reform of the Scottish Church in the late medieval and early modern period. The history of the order over the 110 years from 1450 to 1560 is given in the first chapter. The next two chapters place that history in context by examining the personnel of the order and the relationships between the Dominicans and the lay communities in which they lived and worked. These three chapters demonstrate that the Dominicans were highly educated, mobile and politically aware. Formally breaking from England, the Dominicans set up their own province in 1481 and began to put into practice the ideals of Dominican Observance in the early sixteenth century and were involved in the reform which was current in the Catholic Church during the period. Chapters Four and Five examine the income of the different houses of friars and how they dealt with the property which they owned. The feuing of lands and the pursuit of rents in court are interpreted as showing the friars to be active in defending their interests within the burghs. The relationship between the laity and the friars is further examined in Chapter Six, through the donations given to the friars for prayers for the dead. These foundations reveal the long-term nature of investment in the order for anniversaries and other divine services. Finally, attitudes to the friars revealed in the Scots literature for the period are examined and there is found to be widespread use by Scots poets of the traditions of anti-mendicant literature.

Full textAbstract:
Income effects associated with specific levels of erosion reduction for a
representative farm in the Bao watershed area in the Dominican Republic are
examined in a linear programming framework. Estimation of costs expected in
response to specific levels of erosion reduction and the income effects of changes in
agricultural policies on the farmer's ability to conserve soil are examined.
Results indicate that income losses will be substantial when complying with soil loss standards without introducing soil conservation practices. Net income reduction of 36% can be expected with a reduction in soil loss by 50%. With the introduction of soil conservation practices, substantial reductions in erosion can be obtained with only a minor reduction in net income. For example, with grass strips, 50% reduction in soil loss can be expected with only a 7% reduction in income.
Analysis of the effects of changes in agricultural policies indicates that restricting
access to credit and changes in tenure from secure land holdings to lack of land titles
does not affect the incentive to conserve soil in the short run. Furthermore, analysis
of effects of changes in agricultural pricing policies indicates that the promotions of
coffee, sweet potatoes, and beans represent the least-costly means of meeting the
twin goals of erosion reduction and income maintenance.

Thrall, Helen Ninoska. "The piano music of Juan Francisco Garcia." Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6652.
Full textAbstract:
The final product of this thesis is a high-quality recording of selected piano works by Juan Francisco García. Juan Francisco García (1892-1974), a Dominican composer, was a prominent figure in the classical music scene of the Dominican Republic during the first half of the twentieth century. As a pioneer who fostered the nationalistic musical movement in the Dominican Republic, García sought to create compositions that sounded authentically Dominican. Garcia accomplished this goal through his piano works, which are distinctly expressive, and abridged compositions exhibiting beautiful lyrical melodies and attractive rhythmic qualities.
García’s piano music displays a rich variety of compositional approaches. In his early works he employed a traditional classical language, followed by impressionist and modern techniques in his later compositions. Regardless of compositional style, his piano compositions integrate various elements of Dominican folk music and dances; their programmatic and dancing nature call for an imaginative and expressive playing.
The chosen pieces for this project are fine examples of Garcia’s style and show the journey of his development as a composer. This recording includes the following three piano suites: Fantasía Indígena para Piano, Suite de Impresiones para Piano and Suite para Piano, as well as seven shorter pieces: Capricho Criollo no. 1, Capricho Criollo no. 2, Quisqueyana: Capricho, Recuerdo Grato: Danza Criolla, Yo me Enceleré: Danza- Merengue, Sambumbia and Ruego: Vals al Estilo Criollo. This recording is the first consisting entirely of piano compositions by García. As a Dominican pianist, I aspire to advance and revive the interest in García’s piano works as well as to present Dominican piano music to both musicians and audiences worldwide.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to study how journalists in two Caribbean countries, Dominica and Saint Lucia, see their profession in a developing country where freedom of the press is high but where restrictions also occur. Through semi-structured in-depth interviews we will ask thirteen local journalists in the aforementioned countries what they think about journalistic values and ask for their thoughts on the journalists´ role and responsibility in society. We will also ask them about what limitations there might be to accomplish these ideals. Since every country differs from another, our study will lean on normative theories, and the study will be based on Hallin and Mancini's work Comparing media systems (2004) and their three models of media. According to the respondents in Saint Lucia and Dominica, the main role for the journalists is to report accurate, balanced and fair stories to the audience so that they can make informed decisions in their everyday life. However, the respondents in both countries face challenges in fulfilling these ideals where in Dominica the main challenge is access to information that prevents the press to work on a free basis. In Saint Lucia the respondents state that main obstacles are the “red tape”, i.e., the problematic bureaucratic procedure, that journalists have to deal with when trying to get information, and also threats such as lawsuits and pulled advertisement - something that prevents them from producing free and independent journalism.Detta är en Minor Field Study finansierad uppsats.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with the Roman Catholic Order founded by Saint Dominic
in 1215. The Order encompasses Friar Preachers, Christian Brothers, Active
Religious Sisters, Contemplative Sisters and the Lay Dominicans.
Saint Dominic was instrumental in defeating heresy in southern France, which had
been brought about by former Christians alienated from the Church and its
teachings. During this period, Saint Dominic and his helpers were threatened and
abused for challenging heresy and for reconverting former heretics to Christianity.
In 1207, Saint Dominic and his helpers met a group of ladies and converted them
back to their former ascetic lives as Catholic nuns. The land and shelter acquired
for them adjacent to the Church of Saint Mary of Prouille was to become the first
established convent for Dominican nuns.
Saint Dominic continued his preaching and teaching as the Dominican Order
developed, the first English Priory being established in Oxford on 15th August
1221. Within a century, fifty Priories had been set up in the United Kingdom alone.
Prior to his death in 1221, Saint Dominic had been instrumental in the
establishment of the Rule and Constitution of the Order, which covered liturgy
and asceticism and dealt with aspects concerning the government of the Order.
The Rule and Constitution of the Order still applies in today. However, the last
three decades have seen the Order facing a crisis with continuing falling numbers
of entrants from the western World. This dissertation examines the possible causes
and effects of such a decline, along with the impact this has had on its present and
future continuation as seen by the Dominicans themselves. The author also
explores a possible solution to relieve the crisis.Thesis (M.Th. (Church and Dogma History))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2007.

Previous issue date: 2011-03-16This dissertation is based on the worldwide evident withdrawal of the youths from the catholic churches. The new structures and the unquestionable realities of the post-modern world, mainly the multitechnological world, demand a review of their pastoral regarding the youths, forsaking archaic structures while searching for the new evangelical. First we need to know the world of the youths, their aspirations, dreams and difficulties to reach their goals in life. The youths are innately full of emotions, open-minded and long for comradeship. Here is where religions in general have the mission to make them discover the shining path of the soul. Based on experts who have studied this crisis and supported by researches carried out in a parish of the Dominican Republic as a sample, we propose a brotherly welcome and a subsequent follow-up programme for the youths as a possible solution for this impasse. The awareness of their constituting elements and the deep study of their aggregative psychology can help the youths to ponder upon their dignity as sons of God
Esta dissertação é inspirada na constatação do universal afastamento da juventude das igrejas católicas. Novas estruturas e as incontestáveis realidades do mundo pós-moderno, sobretudo multitecnológico, exigem revisão de sua pastoral em relação ao mundo jovem, o abandono de estruturas arcaicas, em busca do novo evangélico. Para uma possível solução, é preciso conhecer antes o mundo da juventude, com suas aspirações, sonhos e dificuldades para atingir seu ideal de vida. O jovem é por natureza rico em emoções, abertura, busca de companheirismo. Ora aqui cabe a missão das religiões em geral que podem levar os jovens a descobrirem a senda luminosa do espírito. Com base em especialistas no estudo dessa crise e em pesquisa, especialmente montada para este fim, realizada numa paróquia da República Dominicana, como amostragem, são propostos a acolhida fraterna e o posterior acompanhamento dos jovens como possível solução desse impasse. Seus elementos constitutivos, o aprofundamento de sua psicologia agregacional podem ajudar os jovens a refletirem sobre sua dignidade de filhos de Deus

The author tries to show in this research the history of Sunday school, overcome challenges over the years, as well as the contribution of the missionaries and churches in order that this school becomes a reality from your appearance. In this effort, it became apparent the Sunday school contributed directly and indirectly in the formation of culture and personality of the people in it inserted. For this, the study begins by presenting an overview of the history of Sunday school to situate the reader in time in order that monitoring the trajectory could be critical and weighty in present status. For this reason, the author is concerned to present the structure of the Sunday school, the changes undergone over the years, as well as the pedagogical proposal to streamline the education service in the churches that develop this system of Christian education. Moreover, our goal is also to know the strength of influence of the Sunday school in the past and its usefulness today. Therefore, the author presents a survey of some intellectuals, whose answers presented served with an instrument of assessing the degree of importance of this agency educator of the Christian faith, as well as the quality of education in the Reformed churches. The conclusions the author reached demonstrates that the Sunday school needs new challenges, but recognizes that even so has contributed to the growth behavioral, social, intellectual and spiritual people, and has failed to fulfill its role in society through the churches and therefore has struggled through leadership in seeking to present the best Sunday school to continue contributing and putting people in Brazilian society highly prepared and committed to education, and the growth of people.
O autor procura mostrar nesta pesquisa a história da escola dominical, os desafios superados ao longo dos anos, bem como a contribuição dos missionários e igrejas a fim de que esta escola se tornasse uma realidade a partir do seu surgimento. Nesta tentativa, o autor procurou mostrar que a escola dominical contribuiu direta e indiretamente na formação da cultura e da personalidade das pessoas nela inseridas. Para isto, o estudo apresenta um resumo da história da escola dominical para situar o leitor no tempo, com o objetivo de acompanhar a trajetória, ser crítico e ponderável na avaliação da situação atual. Por este motivo, o autor se preocupa em apresentar a estrutura da escola dominical, as mudanças sofridas ao longo dos anos, assim como a proposta pedagógica para dinamizar o serviço educacional nas igrejas protestantes que desenvolvem este sistema de educação cristã. Além disso, objetivou-se ainda saber da força de influência da escola dominical no passado e sua utilidade na atualidade. Por isto, o autor apresenta uma entrevista envolvendo alguns intelectuais, cujas respostas apresentadas serviram como instrumento de avaliação do grau de importância desta agência educadora da fé cristã, bem como a qualidade do ensino ministrado nas igrejas de cunho reformado. As conclusões a que o autor chegou demonstram suficientemente que a escola dominical carece de novos desafios, mas, reconhece, que mesmo assim tem contribuído para o crescimento comportamental, social, intelectual e espiritual das pessoas, bem como não tem deixado de cumprir o seu papel na sociedade por meio das igrejas e por isso, tem se esforçado por meio da liderança em procurar apresentar o melhor para que a escola dominical continue contribuindo e colocando na sociedade brasileira pessoas preparadas e comprometidas com a educação.

Full textAbstract:
High attrition rates among Latino students have long been identified as a major problem in college. Few attempts have been made to understand the normative developmental experiences among this population. This study, based on a study of lives, a narrative approach, examines the experiences of urban Dominican-American college students. Their strategies for effectively navigating a wide variety of contexts (e.g., school, work, family, and neighborhood) are analyzed, and implications for their educational efforts are examined within a developmental framework. Gender disparities and immigrant processes are also explored. Two part interviews were completed with eleven participants. The first interview was semi-structured and the second was open-ended. Participants were also asked to collect images that represented success. Analysis of the data focused on gathering the following: 1) identifying `master `cultural narratives of Dominican immigrant experiences, especially those relating to school 2) highlighting the reproduction of culture and identity within the narratives 3) emphasizing and revealing strategies and choices that participants were making to gain success and 4) drawing attention to the immigrant experience and its salience in the psychological and developmental processes of this group of college students. The results showed that daily contexts in men's and women's lives appeared to be gendering educational experiences and opportunities for successful school outcomes. Both male and female participants cited challenges about staying in school with roles being influenced by the current social and cultural-historical context. Men's experience was uniquely challenging; their definition of success was contextualized within a framework that offered limited and negative meanings of masculinity. Women's definition of success focused on the search for independence and the desire to have a family. Education was a means of access to these goals. They experienced protection and support within their contexts. As immigrants, all students experienced a consistent negotiation of "self" and identity that led to transformative behaviors in themselves and their contexts. The current research aspires to contribute to understanding the complexity of psychological processes in immigrant groups living in the United States--beyond Dominicans and other Latinos. Of salience, it implies that institutional practices may contribute to the disengagement of young men of color.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of contemporary Dominican theatre and performance practices that have emerged as a result of the modern processes of globalization and transnationalism. It proposes and supports the existence of a burgeoning transnational Dominican performance paradigm in both New York City, home to the largest Dominican diaspora, and the homeland of the Dominican Republic. To do this effectively, the thesis has been divided into three parts, each containing three chapters. Part 1 serves largely as a review of published literature in the fields of study relevant to the topic. For example, Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the essential characteristics of the processes of globalization and transnational migration and of the US Latino identity formations that historically have developed as a result of these processes. Chapter 2 broadly examines the varied practices that constitute the transnational performance genre while Chapter 3 specifically defines the socio-economic experience of US Latinos and the early formulations of US Latino transnational performance that developed as a result. In Part 2, the concepts of globalization and transnationalism are placed into a purely Dominican context. In Chapter 4 the socio-economic relationship between the United States and the Dominican Republic is examined while Chapter 5 addesses the cultural and racial identity issues Dominicans face in both the homeland and the New York diaspora as a result of the complex interconnections between these two locations. Chapter 6 then offers a history of the development of Dominican theatre in New York City while Chapter 7 provides an analysis of the lives and work of three Dominican theatre and performance artists living in the New York diaspora who are generating a transnational performance aesthetic as a result of negotiating the socio-cultural and economic divide that separates their residence in New York from their homeland, the Dominican Republic. Part 3 emphasizes the reciprocity of transnational performance. For example, Chapter 8 provides the argument that historically throughout the twentieth-century, theatre practices occurring in the Dominican Republic were consistently being influenced by North American theatre traditions. Chapter 9 offers an examination of the work of three specific Dominican theatre and performance artists who have been shaped by the process of “Americanization” and who, in their own unique way, are currently responding to this process in their work, providing credence to the theory that transational performance can be cultivated also in the homeland by those who have never actually migrated. The conclusion to the thesis is a reflection on the universalities of transnational Dominican performance so to use that which is taking place in New York City and the Dominican Republic as a tool for comparison in the broader study of the growing tradition of transnational performance.

Full textAbstract:
The general goal of the present study was to assess mathematics achievement at the end of Grade 12 in the Dominican Republic, with particular attention to school and regional differences, as well as gender differences. Also, gains in achievement were examined by comparing the achievement of students in Grade 12 to that of students finishing Grade 11. In addition, the performance of Grade 12 students was compared to that of Grade 8 students as assessed in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in the Dominican Republic (TLMDR) study and to that of students from other countries in the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS).
The sample included 1271 students in Grade 12 and 1413 in Grade 11, distributed over 49 schools. Three types of schools were sampled, public schools, and two kinds of private schools. They were urban schools located in the twelve largest cities of the country. These cities were grouped into three regions of similar size.
The mathematics test consisted of 70 multiple-choice items distributed over two test forms. Students' scores were analyzed to assess how much mathematics students in Grade 12 know. Grade 11 data were used as a surrogate for pre-test scores to estimate gains in achievement. School means were used in an analysis of variance designed to examine the effect of school type and region on mathematics achievement. Males' and females' scores were used to analyze gender differences in achievement at the item level, and within each of the school types and regions in the sample. Grade 12 students' responses to 14 items were compared to those of Grade 8 students. Finally, Grade 12 students' responses to 10 items were compared to those of students from other countries in SIMS.
Among the findings of this study were:
1. Students in Grade 12 scored poorly on the mathematics test. Grade 11 and Grade 12 students obtained similar achievement levels which indicated that the achievement gains between the two grades were very small.
2. School type and region were found to significantly affect mathematics achievement, but no interaction effect was found.
3. The comparison of school type means showed that only one type of private school significantly outperformed public schools. This type of school also outperformed the other type of private school.
4. The comparison of region means did not produce the predicted outcome. The pairwise comparisons showed that none of the regions was significantly different from the other, despite the fact that the region factor was significant.
5. The analysis of gender differences in mathematics achievement showed that males performed significantly better than females. At the item level, males outperformed females on only 19 items. Most of these items dealt with geometry, or were at the application level.
6. Gender differences favoring males were found to be independent of school type and region.
7. Comparison between Dominican Grade 12 and Grade 8 students revealed that mathematics achievement improved between the grades for most items.
8. Dominican performance was very poor on the SIMS items and it was far behind that of other countries.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
The Commonwealth of Dominica has acquired a reputation as the nature island of the Caribbean. This thesis sets out to explore how Dominicans perceive and relate to nature in their nature island. It considers these perceptions and relationships as consisting not only of people’s cognitive and intellectual constructions of nature, but as also comprising their practices in and embodied engagements with the natural world. A key premise underlying this work is that people’s ideas about and relationships to nature go beyond the discursive: they arise in and from historical, geographical and social contexts, but also emerge through particular personal encounters and experiences. So, for example, tourism and conservation are two prominent means by which Western constructs and discourse of nature are brought to bear in Dominica in the present day, but they also provide opportunities for engagement with the natural world and for the cultivation and expression of experiential knowledge. The focus on engagement and experience is consonant with Dominicans’ thoughts about what it means to know and understand nature, in which considerable emphasis is placed on practical knowledge and knowledge by acquaintance. Further investigation of ideas of nature, through the use of selected collateral concepts, shows how Dominicans think about nature and certain relationships with nature as being an integral part of “what Dominica is about”. Correspondingly, Dominica can be seen as providing the context and framework for their notions of what nature is about. The findings of this sort of place-based empirical investigation can be useful to the formulation of nature-related policies, in that such policies are more likely to have practical purchase if they are seen to be germane to local ideas of and relationships to nature. Research of this kind can also provide new answers to the interesting philosophical question: what is nature?
