Full textThis research consists of three case studies conducted within American Jewish day schools (JDSs). Addressing some of the issues pointed to by past researchers, this investigation focuses on the following discrete areas of Hebrew language (HL) programs: the stated visions for Hebrew language learning as noted in the mission statements and other documents of the schools and as articulated by teachers and administrators, the methodologies employed by Hebrew and Jewish Studies educators within these institutions, and the assessment practices employed by these schools and educators to determine whether the expressed goals of these programs are being met. By exploring the missions, methods, and assessment processes within these Hebrew language programs, and contrasting these aspects of the schools, we come to a better understanding of the inner workings of these programs and the issues that may be addressed in practice and future research. The following questions guided this mixed-methods study: (1) Within each JDS, what are the goals, according to the mission statement, teachers and administrators, for receptive and productive oral proficiency and literacy in HL? (2) Within each JDS, what are the instructional methodologies employed by teachers in HL and Jewish Studies? (3) Within each JDS, what formal and informal assessments, including teacher perceptions, are currently used for student placement, ongoing and recursive assessment, and outcome assessment? Findings indicate that each of these schools has articulated its missions and program goals to incorporate the development of some kind of Hebrew proficiency and Jewish identity among students. However, confusion was identified within each institution regarding planning methodological approaches and employing systematic and meaningful evaluations of student progress, both of which are found to be interwoven with the desired development of Hebrew language, Jewish identity and a Zionist orientation. In order to successfully achieve their goals and missions, clearer articulation, more consistent and research-based methodological choices, along with consistent and meaningful assessments are required.

Full textThis thesis explores the motivations behind the American and Foreign Christian Union’s missions to Italy during the American Civil War. The AFCU was a missionary organization founded in New York City in 1849 with the ambitious goal of ridding the world of Roman Catholicism. It was born during a time of nativist fervor when American Protestants saw Catholic immigrants as a threat to American democracy. The AFCU believed they could solve the problem of Catholic immigrants by converting the Catholic world to Protestantism, starting with Italy. The leaders of the AFCU believed the world was engaged in a struggle between Liberty and Tyranny. The war against the Confederacy and the fight to free Italians from the tyrannical Pope were different fronts of the same war. The AFCU entire unsuccessful as a missionary organization. They converted virtually no one. However, their publications were essential to helping American Protestants shape their identity.

Full textThis research devoted to Father Eugene Jean Coste follows three orientations. The first aspect is associated to historical circumstance: the diffusion of Catholicism of the Far-East Asia, which was conducted by the western missionaries at the end of XIX century. In spite of two merciless persecutions, the treaty signed in 1886 completely changed the situation. The Catholic Church in Korea was re-established and the Catholic Parish of Myeongdong expanded its community rapidly. Missionaries’ architectural activities that commenced in this period, otherwise, introduced the European culture to Korea. The European-style cathedrals inspired a new aesthetic in the Parish. The second orientation is an architectural perspective: these studies considerably are related to their architectural realizations in the year of 1896 which drew the modernization of Korea. Coste, who was a prosecutor of Paris Foreign Missions Society, assimilated into the principles of the Neo-Gothic architectures and incorporated them in the religious buildings, especially when he supervised the construction of the biggest church in Korea, Seoul Myeongdong Cathedral. The research on the churches initially designed by this French catholic missionary, accordingly, tries to identify modern Korean architectures. In addition, the research could allow readers to discover the various French Neo-Gothic styles in the mission country. Such architectural movements were launched in the intimate relations among Korea, Japan and China. Therefore, Paris Foreign Missions Society’s architectures testify to the history of exchanges with the western culture, taking the economical and practical factors into consideration. The realizations of Father Coste have influenced the concepts of other Korean European-style churches designed by Paris Foreign Missions Society. With the archetype of Father Coste’s architectures, his colleagues, priest-constructors built the churches in the region with the various results of both individual competences and other church communities. In the end, the dissertation studies the conception of religious heritages and the procedure that the architectures of Paris Foreign Missions became heritages in Korea. The concern about heritages remains entirely showing the weakness of historical knowledge and technical limitation. But new idea and technology of the conservation were introduced. The first step was the restoration of Yakhyeon Saint-Joseph Church in 2000. Finally, we will contemplate the applications of Paris Foreign Missions Society’s edifices and the conservations of religious heritages in the same protection zone for the survival of these historical architectures

Full textArrived in Siam in 1664, the Fathers of the Foreign Missions of Paris (MEP) arrived were welcomed by King Naraï. They expected the political situation in Tonkin and Cochin China to calm down to continue their journey. Hence, they stayed there in Siam and in 1681, Bishop Laneau, their leader, was named Vicar Apostolic of Siam. If the first decades were a golden age, the Revolution of 1688, marking an anti-French and anti-Christian sentiment, made the 18th century a period of destabilizsation. After the destruction of Ayutthaya by the Burmese in 1767 and the advent of the Chakri dynasty in 1782, the Mission found a stable position in the kingdom.The Fathers of the MEP learned the language of the country. Bishop Laneau and his successors studied classical Siamese literature and then specialists in the language of the court, as reflected in their works in Siamese. Yet, this mastery of the language did not allow them to evangelize the people. They worked to train indigenous priests in their seminaries. It was only at the end of the 19th century that their teachings helped to modernize the country.The works of the Fathers of the MEP proved a desire to develop Siamese vocabulary and adapted it to religious education. The royal vocabulary, classical literature, Buddhist vocabulary, Pāli and Sanskrit were used to create neologisms and developed an elitist strategy which turned towards the leaders. This policy explained the relative failure of the evangelization of the people. The Fathers of the MEP seem to have remained in the line defined by the Westphalian Treaties: Cujus regio, cujus religio

Full textThis study aims at bringing to light the links that are bound to exist between an architecture expressing a universal message and the cultural landscapes where the architecture is built. With the exemplary case of the Catholic mission in Taiwan, from the mid nineteenth century to today, the analysis of the missionary archives, combined with research on several emblematic buildings, will show the modality of the Christian adaptation to this multicultural background of an island undergoing rapid change. The resilience and the malleability specific to the architectural art provide for an original and detailed study of this constant toing and froing between the evolutive perception by the missionaries of the Formosan landscape, and the reception, itself evolutive, by this particular society of the Christian message. Gradually, this thesis immerses itself in the heart of the work of the Paris Foreign Mission Society, in the diocese of Hualien, during the nineteen fifties and sixties, grounding the major concepts in the reality of a field limited enough to make it possible to provide an exhaustive image. The aim is to prove how a place of worship can be relevant for a better understanding of cultural exchanges and the momentum of the current globalization process

Full textThis research focuses on the “grammatization” of Vietnamese language. We have studied grammatical works, composed in Latin and then in French, by missionaries of various congregations, colonial administrators and Vietnamese grammarians between 1651 and 1919. The objective was to show first how the model of Latin grammar operates in this grammatography, focusing on the specificities of the Vietnamese language, as identified by the missionaries. We have then reviewed the grammars written in Latin and French in order to highlight the effects of the transition from the Latin to the French model in the description of the language and in particular the evolution of the conception of the parts of the discourse in the grammatical works throughout the period under consideration.This thesis focuses on the development of Vietnamese Romanized writing (quốc ngữ) and the history of the linguistic conceptions that underlie it, as well. We have tried to understand the logic that the pioneer Jesuit missionaries to Vietnam had used to transcribe the language and to explain their choice of spellings to record Vietnamese. We trace the stages of creation of this script and the evolution of spelling. Furthermore, the study of the manuscripts written in Romanized Vietnamese allows us to study the changes in the consonant system of Vietnamese from the Seventeenth Century to the early Twentieth Century. We also show the religious, political and cultural factors that have influenced all that history. The study of the relationship between the Jesuits (from 1615 onwards) and French missionaries (from 1663 onwards) highlights the changing role of the Romanized writing from a means of learning for foreign priests to a means of communication between missionaries and native priests. Finally, we examine the role played by debates on writing systems and the choices they have led to, in terms of the language policy pursued by the French colonial administration. Quốc ngữ was introduced into elementary education in 1861 and then promoted to the status of official writing, replacing Chinese characters after the abolition of the mandarin recruitment exams in 1919

Furthermore, it also addresses the role of oil as a determinant factor for the allocation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Using a panel data set of 48 oil producing countries for a period of 30 years, ranging from 1980 to 2010, it was found that, not only is oil a key factor for the determination of foreign aid and FDI, but also that there is a clear distinction between the importance conceived by donor and/or investing countries in their current and future level of oil dependence.

Esta tese argumenta que a participação do Brasil na Missão de Estabilização da ONU para o Haiti pode ser compreendida para além das explicações tradicionais que entendem a política externa como uma ponte entre a política interna e a política internacional, resultante de decisões racionais, interesses objetivos e identidades fixas. Partindo da premissa de que as articulações discursivas não são uma construção retórica superficial atrás das quais se encontra uma causa ou explicação real, não se busca discutir quais foram as intenções e motivações dos formuladores da política externa quando decidiram pela participação do Brasil na missão da ONU no Haiti. Rompendo com as perspectivas convencionais acerca do papel da identidade e da diferença nos estudos de política externa, essa tese analisa os discursos e práticas dominantes de construção do estado moderno no Brasil, no século XIX e início do século XX, e como estes funcionam produzindo uma determinada compreensão do self estatal – e da relação entre self e outro. Tal movimento, empreendido a partir do estudo de duas narrativas de pacificação, permite tanto pensar sobre os discursos e representações que tornaram possível a decisão brasileira de liderar o componente militar da MINUSTAH, quanto refletir sobre as constantes tentativas, passadas e contemporâneas, de reproduzir e estabilizar uma identidade específica para o Brasil, e para aqueles que agem, dentro e fora, em seu nome.
This dissertation argues that the participation of Brazil in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) may be understood beyond traditional explanations that understand foreign policy as a bridge between internal and international politics, resulting from rational decisions, objective interests and fixed identities. Based on the assumption that discursive articulations are not a superficial rhetorical construction behind which one may find real causes or real explanations, it does not aim to discuss the intentions and motivations behind Brazilian foreign policy decision makers resolution to participate in the UN mission in Haiti. Contrary to conventional approaches on the role of identity and difference in foreign policy studies, this dissertation analyzes dominant discourses and practices constructing the modern state in Brazil between the 19th and beginning of the 20th Century, and how these discourses and practices produce a specific understanding of the state self – and of the relation between self and other. Through the study of two pacification narratives, this movement allows one to think about the discourses and representations that made possible Brazil s decision to lead the military component of MINUSTAH; it also helps one to reflect on the permanent attempts – past and present – to reproduce and stabilize a specific identity for Brazil and for those acting in its name, both inside and outside.

It aims at studying the political and symbolical goals guiding the evolution of the French teaching network. At the crossroads of issues common to the fields of French as a second language and sociolinguistics, it will focus on the conceptions of language and of alterity underlying the French language spread policy. The thesis also seeks to characterize language planning policy in a specific territory: Palestine. Those questions allow us to formulate the hypothesis of continuity in the type of relationships established through French language teaching and to put in perspective the spreading policy with an appropriation policy

Full textIn the 19th century, the kingdom of Ryûkyû kingdom (now Okinawa Prefecture in Japan) was both dependent on Qing China and under the rule of Tokugawa shogun (via the Satsuma fief). However, he retained a broad political autonomy.Seeking a fulcrum on the Far East, and unable to access Japanese ports due to Sakoku’s policy, the France of the July Monarchy paid attention to this kingdom and sent military as well as priests of the Foreign Missions of Paris, as a result of which the situation in the kingdom became quite complex; on the one hand, the Ryûkyû closely monitored the foreigners by isolating them from the rest of the local population by all means. On the other hand, the French took advantage of the situation to focus on this barely known region and to try to evangelize it. This first contact led to the conclusion of a convention, on November 24, 1855, between France and the Ryûkyû kingdom. Despite the fact the convention was never ratified, it had as significant impact on the Ryûkyû’s foreign policy. It also affected the first Franco-Japanese relations
19世紀、琉球王国（現・沖縄県）は清の朝貢国であり、また薩摩藩を介し幕藩体制に組み込まれた「二重朝貢国家」であった。しかし、対外的には清（中国）との関係を前面に出すことで対日関係（薩琉関係）を隠蔽し、また国内においても一定の主体性を保持していた。同時期、東アジアにおける拠点を探していた七月王政下のフランスは琉球王国に注目し、1844年 、フランス海軍籍のアルクメーヌ号を派遣、パリ外国宣教会所属の宣教師を留置した。当時、ヨーロッパにおいて琉球王国の存在こそ知られていたものの、王国の特殊性―日中両属、特に薩摩藩との関係―は未だ解明されていない中での進出であった。海洋国家ゆえ、異国船の来航や遭難はままある事態であったが、西洋人の長期滞在は異例のことであり、琉球王府はアルクメーヌ号来琉によって作り出された新たな状況への対応を余儀なくされた。王府は異国人（フランス人宣教師）を隔離、彼らの行動を厳しく監視・制限するとともに、自国民へも異国人との交流や接触を禁じた。一方、フランス人宣教師達は滞琉中に国状の観察、現地語（琉球方言ならびに日本語）の習得に励むとともに、キリスト教の布教も試みていた。1855年11月24日、琉球王国とフランスは琉仏条約を締結した。この条約は結果的に批准されることはなかったが、条約の条項は1840年代におけるフランス人宣教師の滞琉経験を反映したものとなっており、またこの条約の締結によって琉球王府は自国の対外政策に変更・修正を加えた。1840年から1850年代のフランス人宣教師達の滞琉経験は1858年の日仏修好通商条約締結から始まる最初期の日仏関係に影響を与え、また活かされることになった。

Full textThe history of the American Evangelical Mission and its influence on American policy in the Middle East, since the beginning of the nineteenth century, remains largely unknown to the general public. However, protestant missionaries have greatly contributed to the opening of their country to the world and to its status as a major player on the international scene. In the Ottoman provinces, their contributions to education, health, culture and social action were often more significant than their results in terms of evangelization. On the assumption that the influence of Christian missions on political choices remains relative in the course of history, our thesis seeks to distinguish the responsibility of missionaries from the political role played by Washington in the emergence of crises and conflicts that shake up the Middle East and the Arab-Muslim World. It examines the reasons for the failure of massive evangelization and implementation of democratic and secular values. It also highlights the ambivalences and divergences that cross American Protestantism, the attitudes, representations and practices of Evangelicals and American government towards Islam, Israel, the Arab and Muslim nations
