Abstract:

Engineers mediate processes that translate contextual social aims into infrastructures that shape our daily lives. Yet what engineers do is contested, context-bound and mediated at various scales. This work contributes a series of ethnographic studies which form a narrative on the global engineering and design consultancy, Arup, and considers how engineers should understand and engage with the appropriation of values in and through their practices. Analysis of the moral and theoretical positions of Arup’s founder, Sir Ove Arup, offers context for examining high-level organisational discourses.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a multi-layered study of multilingual classroom discourse, with two teachers, in a primary school in Timor-Leste. The wider context for the study was a major shift in language-in-education policy – to the use of Portuguese and Tetum as media of instruction – on the independence of Timor-Leste in 2002. This is the first study in this context to use linguistic ethnography to investigate the ways in which teachers are navigating the policy shift and to analyse the links between multilingual classroom interaction and wider policy processes and language ideologies.

The Republic of Nauru, a small Pacific island nation, has one of the highest obesity rates in the world. Obesity emerged rapidly in Nauru during the 1970s, a period characterised by political independence and unprecedented economic growth resulting from lucrative phosphate mining. In the mid-1970s, the Nauruan population was one of the first in the world in which obesity, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease – co-morbidities associated with obesity – were identified as significant public health concerns. Such ‘lifestyle diseases’ continue to have debilitating effects on the Nauruan com

This thesis is an ethnographic study conducted within two home improvement 'Value' Direct Selling organisations (VDSOs) in the UK. This industry and form of selling have been overlooked by sociologists thus far despite its potential as a rich sociological field of enquiry.

A key characteristic of the industry is its reliance on pro-active persuasion, impression management and emotional labour on the part of its op

This thesis aims to describe and analyse at once the sociotechnical logics that give essence to the mechanics of value-creation in a start-up in Paris’s ‘Silicon Sentier’.

The first is to provide detailed ethnographical data, produced by direct, participant observation, on a social world which is largely unknown, even more so as the received ideas which start-ups are subject to are widespread. On this basis, I then draw some of the governing principles of th

Abstract:

This thesis explores the value of manufactured items among the Sanema, a hunting and horticultural people of Southern Venezuela. By extending the ‘virtue ethics’ approach prevalent in the study of Amazonian societies, I suggest that artefacts are as much a component of Sanema virtuous conviviality as corporeal practices. Manufactured items are meaningful in a distinct way to the often-studied crafted artefacts, which are widely seen to embody the human subjectivities of the maker. Instead, the valuable prefabricated properties of industrial goods, which I refer to as ‘affordances’, can allow m

Abstract:

This study takes an integrative approach to intercultural adaptation by looking at the role of values (i.e. social norms) in the acculturation of Canadian expatriates living in Vietnam. By viewing intercultural adaptation as a process by which expats and host-members “establish (or re-establish) and maintain relatively stable, reciprocal, and functional relationships” (Kim, 2001, p. 3) with their environment, this study focuses on moments of apparent ambiguity, misunderstanding or malaise experienced by expats in their host-community.

A l'Education nationale, pour établir la preuve, candidats et jurys sont convoqués au travail d'élaboration pour les uns, d'appréciation pour les autres, d'un déclaratif venant illustrer la mise en oeuvre de la compétence

Abstract:

Cette thèse d’anthropologie a pour ambition d’explorer un objet peu étudié par la discipline. Elle porte un regard critique sur les déchets recyclables dans un contexte spécifique, celui d’un dispositif de tri sélectif en France, à Marseille. Moins étudié que d’autres catégories de déchets à l’instar des déchets organiques, industriels ou énergétiques… cette thèse s’intéressera plus particulièrement aux dimensions sociales et culturelles du déchet recyclable en le reliant et le comparant à celui de l’ensemble des autres déchets domestiques (déchets organiques, toxiques, encombrants…).

Abstract:

Le travail trouve son origine en vallée d’Aspe auprès de l’abbé Pierre Moulia, prêtre de l’Ordre des Prémontrés qui a dédié l’ensemble de sa carrière à ce territoire et à ses habitants. L’hypothèse de cette étude repose sur le postulatselon lequel la société gasconne peut être étudiée au travers du prisme de sa langue. Si cette étude permet une ethnographie de la société gasconne du XXème siècle, le choix d’articuler l’étude du corpus à la langue révèle, au fil d’uncheminement pragmatique et expérimental, des modes de pensée, au service de la société agricole étudiée, et en lien continu avec l

Abstract:

This thesis explores the part gambling plays in an urban setting in Highland Papua New Guinea. Gambling did not exist in (what is now) Goroka Town before European contact, nor Papua New Guinea more broadly, but when I conducted fieldwork in 2009-2010 it was an inescapable part of everyday life. One card game proliferated into a multitude of games for different situations and participants, and was supplemented with slot machines, sports betting, darts, and bingo and lottery games. One could well imagine gambling becoming popular in societies new to it, especially coming on the back of money, wa

Abstract:

Cette recherche interroge le champ des objets ethnographiques au prisme de leur circulation entre deux médiateurs situés entre leur production et leur réception : les musées d’ethnographie et les marchés de l’art. Aucune recherche scientifique ne s’est jusqu’à maintenant penchée en profondeur sur les relations entretenues entre ces deux intermédiaires dans le champ de l’art africain et océanien, si ce n’est pour décrire ou critiquer le cas précis de la fondation du Musée du quai Branly-Jacques Chirac.Mobilisant l’anthropologie et la muséologie, ma recherche est basée sur un travail de terrain

Abstract:

La profession infirmière en France a vécu des changements récents en termes de recherche et de formation. Dans notre pays, la discipline infirmière est en cours d'institutionnalisation, pourtant il existe déjà des infirmières françaises mettant en ¿uvre des projets de recherche dans une relative autarcie. Dans le contexte actuel professionnel, disciplinaire et intellectuel, comment la recherche infirmière française peut-elle à la fois intégrer la sphère internationale et développer son programme singulier?

Abstract:

This study explores the peer group understandings of five male friends between the ages of six and eight years and seeks to examine the ways in which the groups social dynamics interact to define, regulate and maintain dominant and collective understandings of masculinities. Within a self-selected affinity context, and drawing on their lived and imagined experiences, the boys enact and interpret their social worlds. Adopting the principles of ethnography within a framework of feminist poststructuralism and drawing on theories of groupness and gender(ed) embodiment, the boys understandin
