Full textEuropaparlamentet (EP) är scenen där vissa frågor rörande mer än 500 miljoner ‘européer’ officiellt debatteras och där politiskt relevanta grupperingar diskursivt konstrueras [co-constructed]. Medan parlamentsmedlemmarna (MEPs) driver sina egna politiska agendor dras gränser mellan grupperna, och dessa gränser förstärks och/eller överträds. Talare intar oavbrutet vad man skulle kunna kalla för olika ‘hållningar’ (stances) för olika grupperingar i relation till vissa förutsatta andra grupperingar, och argumenterar för vad som skiljer ‘jaget/det egna’ (Self) från ‘de andra’ (Others). Denna studie undersöker språkmönster som används av parlamentsledamöterna när de hänger sig åt kontextuellt och historiskt situerade dialogiska processer rörande positionering mellan grupper (intergroup positioning) och stance-taking. Den fokuserar vidare på de strategiska och konkurrensutsatta aktiviteterna grouping (gruppformering), grounding (ung. legitimering av en talares stance) och alignment (när man placerar sig i linje med eller tar avstånd från en annan talares åsikter) för att urskilja den dynamiska konstruktionen av gränser mellan grupper. Studien baseras på en korpus av så kallade ‘Blue-card question-answer sequences’ från plenardebatter som hölls i EP under 2011, när statsskuldkrisen hade stabiliserats något men fortfarande utgjorde grunden för många kontroverser. Teoretiskt sett bygger studien på Stance-teori (Du Bois, 2007), Positionerings-teori (Davies & Harré, 1990) och ett flertal breda socialkonstruktivistiska infallsvinklar till diskursanalys (Fairclough, 1995). Analysen visar att positioneringen mellan de olika grupperingarna i EP framstår som något jag kallar ‘kollaborativ konkurrens’ mellan motstridiga ideologier och politiska agendor. Parlamentsledamöterna manipulerar strategiskt sina motståndares tidigare eller förutsedda yttranden för att positionera sig själva, en gruppering de står för, och därigenom dess meningsmotståndare. Alla deltagare agerar för att upprätthålla och förhandla gränsdragningen mellan grupperna, trots att gränserna nästan aldrig överensstämmer mellan de olika talarna. Diskursivt styckar de av några imaginära territorier, vilket lämnar deras motståndare i vaga positioner. När de ställer Blue-card questions använder sig parlamentsledamöterna av en särskild turtagningsorganisation, vilken inbegriper rutinformer av interaktionsenheter (interactional units), tilltal (addressing), hur frågor initieras (question framing), och frågeformer (question forms), av vilka var och en visar sig bidra till stance-taking. En dynamisk modell för stance-taking föreslås, vilket möjliggör en transformation av det kontinuerligt omdefinierade stance-objektet såväl som av de diskursivt konstruerade stance-takers. Medan Blue-card questions är avsedda att fungera som en strukturerad procedur för att få fram information från en talare demonstrerar analysen att parlamentsledamöterna lyckas med olika avledande manövrer som tjänar positioneringen mellan grupper. Avhandlingen bidrar på så vis till förståelsen av det diskursiva spelet i Europaparlamentet där parlamentsledamöterna strävar efter att konstruera sociala realiteter som tjänar deras politiska mål.

Full textThe first part of this thesis has been dedicated to a new approach in the reading the arts of memory in its western translation. From the study of those dynamics specific to the visual field of mnemonic representations, I was able to develop a memorisation model based on the rhythmic relations between images and words. Those arts thus seemingly like techniques that lead to the establishment of a tradition while forging anthentic tools for thought. This perspective focused on the notion of rhythm enabled me to reach out for the possible projection of the rules of these arts of memory in to a new domain: the lithurgical gesture. The ritual act in its own dynamic becomes one of the bases of the establishment of a mnemonic system. I was thus able to expand the concept of memory arts beyond the "western culture" and explore the role that the arts of memory play in cultural contact, expecially in America, in the colonial areaof Yucatan. In this matter, the books of Chilam Balam (one of the most important Mayan testimonials of the colonial epoca) has been crucial. The final part of this thesis is intended as a first development of this study track. The analysis I conducted on an interpretation of the symbology of Mass which can be found in the book of Chilam Balam of Kaua enabled me to open new perspectives in the field of studies dedicated to cultural translation processes and, in particular, to the modalities of establishment of a "new" heritage of representations and religious beliefs within societies - such as the yucatan one in the colonial epoca - located at the boundaries of two traditions

Full textA long time before numismatic systems, very different items have been useful for paying. On european protohistory, we know them because they are hoarded, situated in or outside of fieldworks. Only non-destructive material have been saved : metal, shells, glass. African past is few known and few studied. But, because archaeological works, we know that in southern eastern part, exchange items were known from one millenium and half. The oldest written documents come from greek-roman period, later from arabic and european sources ; at last items are preserved in museums. Through them and ethnological informations, we know how payments are complexed, linked to societies' structures more than to economical considerations. They evolved with traditional societies, the oldest are always used for relationships and specially for wedding. Centralised powers adopt a special exchanges item and control it. European colonisation followed this example and imposed currencies with all their mecanims. But they haven't been easily adopted and old fashions exist always. Recent phenomenons' studies can help the prehistorian on the complexities of payment in traditionnal societies

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to an anthropology of the west, that is to say to consider the western civilization fron the angle of an ethno-history. It consists in an attempt at analysis, almost in the sense of a psychoanalysis. It's objective is to determine the deep seated motives of the departure west and the reasons for the failure of the encounter with the americain indian. The present research work considers the colonial process, as well as the central question of the "egocide" - the destruction of otherness - first and foremost as a western phenomenon. Colonization is also the story of a preblem of recognition and raises the issue of identity. The true discovery of america is the discovery of the inner nature of the west. It is particulary obvious in its way of looking at the primitive man. It is the discovery that the "conquering europe" like every culture cannot survive without otherness. The mechanism of "civilization of attitudes" inside europe, and the colonization process outside, match each other. They both function on the principle of projection and repression, as described by psychoanalysis. They impose division and alienation at every level of society, starting with the first element of society : the body. Finally, the objective of these two mechanisms is precisely to increase differences and not to draw the other to the self

Full textHow has the bear’s status—anthropomophized by humankind—evolved: from being deified to being reduced to a mistreated animal and finally becoming the symbol of tenderness, children’s socializer Teddy bear? Using an ethnohistoric and deductive method, we investigate into the first signs of bear worship in sub-christian european societies, in which the bear is conceived as being parented to humankind and possessing supernatural powers. Then, during Europe’s conversion to Christianity, the bear comes to be regarded as a diabolic animal is the Church’s most hated adversary. Domesticated and exhibited by bear leaders, the bear afterwards regains a certain prestige through its usefulness in hunting and it furthermore lends added value to aristocracy’s patronyms. The plantigrade allows men and women to access to sexuality and marriage during bears’days festivities. In the twentieth century, the bear becomes the Teddy bear, a therapeutic object and socializer hero with which the child identifies himself through stories. Nowadays, hunted for by collectors and designed by creators, the Teddy bear is conceived as a work of art. Therefore the bear is, for the European man, a medium through which to enter into relation with his world, open up to it, and even affirm his identity through it. Whereas for the animal, it remains a continent where its survival has become a major political and economical stake

Full textDuring the last twenty years, the pilgrimage to Saint James has experience'd unprecedented growth, which ranks among the most interesting phenomenon produced by Christianity in modern times. This apprently new reality is here explored through a wide ethnographic research. First of all, our investigation necessarily bring to the fore the processes of one's culture's reformulation and reconstruction when faced with historical changes that end to reduce its own influence. Insofar as this pilgrimage has been, first and foremost, made to encompass in one's universe, that is, in a typical set expertly restored, scattedred elements of the culture, the way individuals and groups of people coming from different backgrounds may be required to establish new appertaining relationships or to convert to the norms and values of this alternative world, becomes a critical issue. In this perspective, the investigation of social interactions will be extended to different categories of beings and things with whichy men and women come - ritually or not - into contact as long as they are embedded, to varying degrees, in this universe. The opportunity is thus given here to question the intercourse between remote ancestors and participants and to interrogate, beyond figures and symbolic forms introduced by the pilgrims or imposed by the authorities, the nature of the connections and relationships the propose to meet and stabilize in the temporary but nvertheless striking experiment of this totality

Instead of ethnic traditions, it shows how these accounts reflected antic ethnography. They took from its learned works the descriptions of the origin places they present, Troy, Scandia or Scythia, as the symbolic events that gradually allowed each people to settle down in the roman empire. Each origin account could be, and was, rewritten and changed to illustrate a new political context. They presented so a changing identity for each people, open to any modification for the present times

Full textThis research deals with pluripolar and plurisequential migration patterns of Afghans in Iran and Europe. Young people come illegally in Europe by land and sea. Most of migrants either used to spend significant periods in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, with their relatives or as seasonal workers. In the regional context, a long established transnational community between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, makes easier the mobility or settlement of newcomers. In the European context, young people migrate in a succession of transnational movements, making long breaks in major European capitals (Athens, Roma, Paris) along their route. Breaks are privileged spaces where the migrants extend their social networks and build new one. During their journeys in Europe, young migrants maintain long-distance relationships with their families left behind in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Mobility of Afghans is related to practices of travel and pilgrimage. The experience of the route modifies status, role and function of the one who emigrate. This research highlights the transformation of kin and gender relationships in the transnational afghan society, as much as social changes initiated by the migrants

Full textEn esta tesis se expone la evolución de como ha sido visto el oso a lo largo de la història en el continente europeo y se analizan las representaciones festivas tradicionales torno a su figura folclórica más emblemáticas de los Pirineos Orientales, Centrales y Occidentales: las Fiestas del Oso de Arles de Tec, de Prats de Molló y de San LLorenç de Cerdans (Cataluña Norte), el Baile de la Osa de Encamp (Andorra), el Carnaval de Bielsa (Aragón) y los Carnavales de Ituren y Zubieta (País Vasco). "Los bailes del oso" son representaciones de teatro popular de calle que pertenecen a los llamados "bailes hablados" profanos, lúdicos y burlescos ubicados en el ciclo festivo de las "mascaradas invernales". Son unas manifestaciones festivas típicas en los Pirineos, los Alpes, los Cárpatos y en otras poblaciones de la Europa rural. Los testimonios más representativos se celebran en Nochevieja, la Candelaria o el fin del Carnaval. Generalmente se desarrollan a lo largo de un pasacalle que suele iniciarse en las afueras de la población y cierra en la plaza de la villa. Esencialmente escenifican una lucha entre el hombre y el oso -imagen elaborada a partir del domador de osos zíngar- apoyada en argumentos de temática heroica que narran la caza del oso, y que a menudo alimentan el mito del salvaje que debe ser civilizado. La espectacularidad de estos bailes es generada por varios grupos de enmascarados que hacen ruido y persiguen a la audiencia, principalmente las chicas. Resultan ser unas representaciones del despertar y la muerte del oso cargadas de sentidos rituales que los bailes más hablados utilizan para hacer sátira de costumbres y un repaso
The current thesis explores the evolution on the views about the bear along Europe’s history and analyzes the most significant traditional festive representations around it in the Pyrenees: Festes de l’Ós in Arles de Tec, de Prats de Molló i de Sant Llorenç de Cerdans (Northern Catalonia), Ball de l’Óssa in Encamp (Andorra), Carnival in Bielsa (Aragon), Ituren and Zubieta (Basque Country). Bear dances are folkloric theater plays belonging to the so-called “spoken dances”, that is, versified. They are profane, fun and burlesque, placed in the festive cycle of the “winter masquerades”, typical to the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Carpathians and other rural areas in Europe. Their most significant representations take part around New Years’ Eve, Candlemas or the end of Carnival. They generally take the form of a passacaglia starting in the town’s outskirts and ending up at its main square. They essentially portray a fight between man and bear – an elaborated representation from the Gipsy bear tamer – supported by heroic narratives of a bear hunt, contributing to the myth of the wild and its need for civilization. Dances are spectacular for there are different masked groups making noise and chasing the audience, basically female. They end up being representations of the bear’s own awakening and death, full of ritual meanings, used as a means of satire and cutting review of last year’s highlights.

Full textThis dissertaiton purposes to demonstrate that the rural architecture of today in east-central and southeastern europe (poland, slovakia, hungary, rumania, and yugoslavia), far from reflecting any king of national spirit, manifests two culturally opposed conceptions of the dwelling: that of the west, and that of the east. These two types correspond geographically to the former territories of the austrian and the turkish empires. The principles of the enlightenment penetrate the rural architecture of the region by means of the austrian colonisation of the banat and galicia, lands acquired in the turkish wars of the eighteenth century. Although german scholars explain this phenomenon by a "german influence", a study of the colonisation archives clearly reveals

Full textLes Européens (Belges, Grecs et Italiens) du Katanga, dont le nombre s’est considérablement réduit au cours de la période post-coloniale, forment aujourd’hui le groupe le plus puissant de l’économie de la région. Au vu des troubles qui ont marqué l’histoire du Congo depuis l’indépendance, pourquoi sont-ils restés sur place ?Comment ont-ils développé leurs affaires dans une économie sur le déclin, en voie de marginalisation, et dans une structure politique patrimoniale de plus en plus instable ?Et quelle est leur place au sein de la société congolaise ?Telle est la triple question de départ à laquelle tente de répondre cette thèse en abordant de façon successive, au fil des chapitres, leur parcours migratoire, leur insertion dans la société congolaise, la dynamique de leur communauté, leur rôle dans les deux plus gros secteurs de la région, et leurs rapports avec les représentants de l’Etat. Elle prend appui pour ce faire sur une recherche de terrain conduite entre 2003 et 2004.
If the number of Europeans (Belgians, Greeks and Italians) living in Katanga has considerably decreased during the post-colonial period, they represent today the most powerful entrepreneurial group of the local economy. Once considered the troubles they came across since independence, why did they remain in the Congo? How did they develop their business in a declining economy, in process of marginalization, and in a patrimonial political structure, which proves to be more and more unstable? Finally, what is their place and role in Congolese society? These are the three questions this thesis tries to give an answer. Through the chapters, it studies the migration of expatriates in Africa, their relationship with Congolese society, the dynamics of their community, their role in the two most important sectors of Katanga, and the way they interact with the agents of the State. For this purpose, it rests upon a fieldwork research led between 2003 and 2004.

Full textThis study is based on research-action-training including the analysis of life stories of Croatian students. It therefore adopts a microsociological perspective while giving particular importance to contextualization and historicalization. It articulates three levels of analysis: the microsocial level combines with the mesosocial (university policies) and macrosocial (socio-political situations in EU countries and European policies) dimensions. This case study on student mobility from Croatia links linguistic dimensions, educational problems (with their institutional and pedagogical dimensions) and political issues, with the aim of providing a more general overview of mobility in Europe. An ethnography of the Croatian student mobility experience will then help to understand how Croatian students live this experience - including through their uses and representations of languages, their relationship to otherness and the new identifications they develop - and reinvest it in their life course. This ethnography also highlights the need for support for mobility, in particular to make a stay abroad a formative experience likely to develop student empowerment. Such a teaching orientation, if it goes in the direction of the teaching of plurilingualism and pluriculturalism, has yet to be legitimate. This finding leads to a questioning of both the responsibility of European linguistic and educational policies and the ethical responsibility of language teaching and cultural education
Ovaj se znanstveni rad temelji na akcijsko-obrazovnom istraživanju koje obuhvaća analizu životnih priča hrvatskih studenata. Rad usvaja mikrosociološku perspektivu, pri čemu je velika važnost dana kontekstualizaciji i historcizaciji. Time je omogućeno dovođenje u vezu mikrosocijalne razine analize s mezosocijalnom (sveučilišne politike) i makrosocijalnom razinom (društveno-politička situacija zemalja Europske unije i europske politike). Radi se o studiji slučaja koja obuhvaća analizu mobilnosti studenata iz Hrvatske supostavljajući jezična i didaktička gledišta, obrazovne probleme (s njihovim institucionalnim i pedagoškim aspektima) i politička pitanja, s ciljem pružanja šireg pogleda na mobilnosti u Europi. Etnografskom analizom iskustva hrvatskih studenata s mobilnosti omogućeno je bolje razumijevanje studentskog doživljaja mobilnosti – naročito kroz analizu korištenja i percepcije jezika, odnosa prema drugosti i novim identifikacijama koje razvijaju - i kako to iskustvo reinvestiraju u daljnjem životu. Studijom je također utvrđena nužnost postojanja programa podrške odlaznim studentima koji bi se temeljio na didaktici višejezičnosti i višekulturalnosti, a čiji bi cilj bio da boravak u inozemstvu za svakog studenta bude formativno i osnažujuće iskustvo. Radi se međutim o didaktičkom modelu koji tek neznatno prihvaćen, što posljedično dovodi do preispitivanja odgovornosti europskih jezičnih i obrazovnih politika te etičke odgovornosti didaktike jezika i kultura

Full textA look at the innovation divisions of internationally active corporations such as Intel, Google, Nokia, IBM or Deutsche Telekom reveals that large companies rely on ethnographic research for their innovation development. Under names such as Business Anthropology, Corporate Ethnography, Commercial Ethnography, and others, a branch of ethnology and cultural anthropology has emerged, dealing with the use of ethnography in the private sector. This dissertation is situated in the discourse on ethnography in the service of the private economy. It is about ethnography that is used to identify latent needs and desires as well as everyday problems of users and to develop ideas for innovative products and services that fit into the life experiences of the users. With the help of the case study of an ethnographic user research for the project FLEX 2.0 at the team User Driven Innovation (UDI) in the Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs), an example is presented of how ethnography is understood in the private sector and how it can be carried out. One of the central aspects of this dissertation is to discuss whether the use in this context has an impact on ethnography. The dissertation covers three major points: 1. The text aims to make the ethnographic user research carried out at UDI as transparent and comprehensible as possible and to show step by step how ethnographic research can look in the private economy. 2. The text can also be read as a how to guide for carrying out ethnographic user research. Practical advices, contextual information, and some document templates will help to simplify the conduction of ethnographic user research. 3. At the methodological level, the text discusses what the use of ethnography in the private economy means for the methodology and what implications this has.

Full textThis research examines the nature/culture relationship within industrial agriculture, especially the production of fruit in Switzerland and France. It analyses the reconfiguration of human and non human agencies associated with the implementation of methods aimed at reducing the use of pesticides, namely integrated production. Drawing on an ethnographic work, the analysis focuses on the growers' activities: the establishment of modern orchards and the pests that challenge them, the key work of monitoring the orchard in order to address the risk of damages, the mobilization of processes based on natural functioning to address these pests, the use of chemical weapons supplementing or substituting these biological and ecological processes, and finally the marketing of fruits. This work reveals the complexity of the challenges with which growers are confronted: integrated production requires rethinking crop protection practices while keeping tyhe modern orchard. Producing with nature therefore adds biological control tools and environmental and health objectives to existing chemical tools and market objectives which have brought about the vulnerability to pest. The difficulty of fighting against the enemies of the orchard reveals a concept of nature governed by the market but that can never be totally standardized, a nature that evolves according to human and non human actions forcing growers to adapt to these ever-changing conditions

Full textConceived and written as a comparative monographic study, referring tio children's theater and the anthropology of childhood, this thesis recounts the creation paths of three european drama and theater stage directors, Alecsandru Dumitra-Şerbǎnescu (1940-), Peter Slade (1912-2004), et Léon Chancerel (1886-1965). The ethnography of Children Theater The one thousand and one. . . Masks, situated in the north of Romania, carried out in the past five years, has been completed by a research of the Peter Slade Collection, at the John Rylands Library, in Manchester, and by the archives Léon Chancerel, available at société d'Histoire du Théâtre, in Paris. The purpose of this study is to understand how the idea of "childhood" presents itself as a dasein of creation and portrayal for several institutions established by the directors mentioned above. From different angles, they questioned this process: educatiiing, writing, making children play by following childhood acts, which drives us on the path of historical and aesthetic paradigm of their initiation on the stage. This thesis allows a set up of multiple references of epistemological archaeology and praxeology (writing and thetaer science) on the play-writing and theatrical activities mentioned above. A phenomenological approach is privileged in order to set up the context of these two main identity structures (children's play - actor's play) and their reference status following how the "creation" (a childhood dramaturgy associated to its stage set up) engages the children - theaterdirector relationship. Through a semiological analysis of directors notes, live performances, theater journals, we aim to understand how this experimental worl is building its own epistemic unities. Children's self awareness, the theater that plays and creates itself and it's being performed, experienced, thereafter staged, and on the other side, a second epistemic stage, the anthropological one, that will grasp this introduction of children in the history of theater. From this perspective, one of the cross-disciplinary interrogations has been the following: how this kind of practivce and a project - the theater performance for/with children - can become the setting of an insightful epistemology of how better practise and write anthropology?

Full textPart one consists of a comparison of the national ideologies of France and Finland. The foundation myths of these two nations, which instrumentalize social, linguistic and racial categories, have inherited, on the one hand, the “International” political cleavage (French) Revolution/(German) Romanticism, linked to the opposition Left/Right, and, on the other hand, racial theories based, in France, upon the opposition Gaulish/Francs and, in Scandinavia, upon the opposition Finnish-Lapps/Germano-Goths. These ideologies have an influence on the representations of “Europeans” in the context of the construction of the European Union, and on “national” epistemologies of ethnology. Part two involves a comparative analysis of the contents and the different receptions of Lönnrot’s Kalevala (1835, 1849) and of La Villemarqué’s Barzaz-Breiz (1839, 1845, 1867), foundation texts which illustrate the national ideologies studied in part one

Full textCe travail tente d'apporter un regard technologique sur les méthodes de débitage, grâce à l'analyse de l'ensemble des témoins lithiques conservés dans les sites du Solutréen supérieur et du Salpêtrien ancien en Languedoc. La structuration technique de l'industrie salpêtrienne et les objectifs de débitage sont ainsi clairement définis. Le rapport qu'entretient le Salpêtrien avec le Solutréen est éclairci du point de vue technologique.
L'analyse fournit donc des éléments supplémentaires quant à la caractérisation du Salpêtrien. Elle nourrit également le débat sur la filiation culturelle entre Solutréen supérieur et Salpêtrien en Languedoc, mais aussi à l'échelle de l'Europe méditerranéenne.

Full textThe second French colonial empire (1830-1962) challenged soldiers, scholars, and administrators to understand societies radically different from their own so as to govern them better. Overlooking the contributions of many of these colonial officials, most historians have located the genesis of the French social theory used to understand these differences in the hallowed halls of Parisian universities and research institutes. This dissertation instead argues that colonial experience and study drove metropolitan theory. Through a contextualized examination of the published and unpublished writings and correspondence of key thinkers who bridged the notional metropolitan-colonial divide, this dissertation reveals intellectual networks that produced knowledge of societies in North and West Africa and contemplated the nature of colonial rule. From General Louis Faidherbe in the 1840s to politician Jacques Soustelle and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in the 1950s, a succession of soldiers and administrators engaged in dialogue with their symbiotic colonial sources to translate indigenous ideas for a metropolitan audience and humanize French rule in Africa. Developing ideas in part from a reading of native African written and oral sources, these particular colonial thinkers conceived of social structure and race in civilizational terms, placing peoples along a temporally-anchored developmental continuum that promised advancement along a unique pathway if nurtured by a properly adapted program of Western intervention. This perspective differed significantly from the theories proposed by social scientists such as Emile Durkheim, who described "primitivity" as a stage in a unilinear process of social evolution. French African political and social structures incorporated elements of this intellectual direction by the mid-twentieth century, culminating in the attempt by Jacques Soustelle to govern Algeria with the assistance of ethnological institutions. At the same time, Pierre Bourdieu built on French ethnological ideas in an empirically grounded and personally contingent alternative to the dominant structuralist sociological and anthropological perspective in France.
Approached as an interdisciplinary study, this dissertation considers colonial knowledge from a number of different angles. First, it is a history of French African ethnology viewed through a biographical and microhistorical lens. Thus, it reintroduces the variance in the methods and interpretations employed by individual scholars and administrators that was a very real part of both scientific investigation and colonial rule. Race, civilization, and progress were not absolutes; definitions and sometimes applications of these terms varied according to local and personal socio-cultural context. This study also considers the evolution of French social theory from a novel perspective, that of the amateur fieldworker in the colonies. Far from passive recipients of metropolitan thought, these men (and sometimes women) actively shaped metropolitan ideas on basic social structure and interaction as they emerged. In the French science de l'homme, intellectual innovation came not always from academics in stuffy rooms, but instead from direct interaction and dialogue with the subjects of study themselves.
