Evans, John Scoville. "Parisina: Literary and Historical Perspectives Across Six Centuries." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2014. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4074.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between the many literary texts referring to the deaths of Ugo d'Este and Parisina Malatesta, who were executed in Ferrara in 1425 in accordance with an order by Niccolò III d'Este after he discovered their incestuous relationship. The texts are divided in three categories: (1) the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italian novellas and their translations; (2) the seventeenth-century Spanish tragedy; and (3) the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Romantic works. Although these categories divide the various texts chronologically, they also represent a thematic grouping as the texts within each category share common themes that set them apart from those in the other groups. While the various texts all tell the same story, each approaches the tragedy slightly differently based largely on the audience for which it was intended. Thus, the time and place of each text greatly affects its telling. Still, the fact that substantial differences exist between texts that were produced in both geographic and temporal proximity suggests that these are not all-determining factors. Although scholarship exists analyzing individual texts, a comprehensive study of the literary accounts relating to the tragedy has never been undertaken. Rather than detracting from the story, the differences put forth in each of the literary texts enrich the global reading experience by offering many perspectives on the tragedy. In addition, these differences influence how the reader reacts to each of the other texts. Familiarity with one version of the story changes the way a reader approaches the others. A parallel reading of the different versions of the story also shows the power culture has on interpretation. Texts referring to a singular event from one time and place sharply contrast with those that are the product of other circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
La idea de desarrollar este plan de negocio para la instalación de una cafetería temática en la ciudad de Chiclayo, surge de la necesidad de crear un establecimiento donde se fomente los lazos entre dos culturas en un ambiente acogedor para los clientes. Siendo una cafetería el lugar idóneo para este proyecto, se busca la fusión de dos culturas: La parisina y la peruana, la primera será fundamental como base para la decoración mientras que la segunda será la cultura que se dé a conocer a los clientes, siendo éste el objetivo de la cafetería, además de producir un cambio diferente en las cafeterías tradicionales que existen en Chiclayo, haciendo que las personas salgan de lo rutinario y puedan experimentar nuevos ambientes y experiencias únicas. Por ello, el objetivo principal de este plan de negocio es determinar la factibilidad para la creación de una cafetería temática en la ciudad de Chiclayo. Para esta investigación se empleó el método o modelo Canvas por Osterwalder & Pigneur; el tipo de investigación es cuantitativa-descriptiva, donde la muestra ha sido tomada de la base de datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas e Informática (INEI), son personas entre 18 y 55 años de edad, con un nivel socio económico A, B y C con una población de 142.514, teniendo como muestreo 383 encuestados; como instrumentos de investigación se aplicó encuestas, finalmente el procesamiento de datos, fueron procesados mediante el programa computacional de Excel 2010, que sirvieron para plasmar el análisis de la investigación.Tesis

Rouillard, Maurice. "Y a-t-il une spécificité française des salons au siècle des Lumières : France, Angleterre, Allemagne?" Thesis, Paris 4, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013PA040100.
Full textAbstract:
L’objet de la présente thèse, soutenue sur la sociabilité des salons du XVIIIe siècle, vise dans un premier temps à interroger, à la lumière d’un témoignage du temps – Le Tableau de Paris – choisi pour son réalisme, son authenticité et sa fidélité à l’histoire, les chroniques et les représentations léguées à la postérité par Louis-Sébastien Mercier pour décrire la vie de société dans la France de l’Ancien Régime, afin d’en dégager les spécificités françaises. Le regard critique posé par le chroniqueur sur la vie parisienne nous sert tout d’abord de guide pour pénétrer ces cercles de rencontre, de conversation et de convivialité à l’aune de sa propre fréquentation du bureau d’esprit de Fanny de Beauharnais. Dans un second temps, on aborde le contexte historique et culturel ayant conduit à l’avènement de ces assemblées depuis le XVIIe siècle, voire antérieurement, non seulement pour en marquer les phases d’évolution successives, mais aussi pour tenter d’en dégager les traits distinctifs, les constantes et les variantes au temps des Lumières. XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle interagissent dans une dynamique historique permettant la mise en perspective des enjeux de la sociabilité dans leur continuité, depuis le siècle de Louis XIV jusqu’aux Lumières, voire au-delà. Toutes les idées reçues sont débusquées, puis passées au crible. Plusieurs méthodes viennent renforcer l’arsenal de la critique interne et externe des sources. L’outil informatique scrute méthodiquement les fonds insuffisamment explorés en permettant des rapprochements inédits. L’enquête comparatiste et l’exégèse sociolinguistique des sources polyglottes à l’échelle européenne viennent rendre leur verdict après la confrontation des sources françaises, anglaises et allemandes. Si Paris est la capitale européenne de la société élégante et polie, ce paradigme prévaut surtout pour la noblesse, la bourgeoisie et les élites cultivées, car les provinces de l’Hexagone se singularisent par leur idiome propre et par leur bilinguisme affiché, même au salon. En Angleterre, en Allemagne, en Suisse, les langues nationales, dont le français, véhiculent une vie de société locale, imitée certes, mais pas toujours fidèlement, du modèle parisien. Les témoignages du temps remettent au goût du jour la conversation, l’esprit, les gens de lettres, les petits-maîtres, les grandes dames, les soupers, les bureaux d’esprit, les bureaux de philosophie, les bureaux de littérature et les bureaux d’insurrection, naguère relégués au ban des curiosités par les historiens de la sociabilité et restituent sans conteste leur spécificité au sein de l’espace culturel français des Lumières. De nouveaux éclairages jettent une clarté nouvelle sur les débats ravivés depuis une vingtaine d’années autour des salons en FranceThe purpose of this dissertation on 18th century salon culture aims at questioning the chronicles and representations of Le Tableau de Paris (Panorama of Paris) by Louis-Sébastien Mercier in the light of his realistic, genuine and faithful eyewitness accounts of Paris life, in order to depict society life in Ancien-Régime France and to show any French peculiarities. The critical look taken by the chronicler of Parisian life as a regular frequenter of Fanny Beauharnais’ bureau d’esprit serves as a guide to get into these meeting, conversation and conviviality circles. Secondly, the historical and cultural background leading to the advent of such assemblies as early as the 17th century, and even before, is discussed, not only to mark their specific development, but also in a attempt to allow their dominant features, invariants and variations to be identified during the Enlightenment. Both the 17th and 18th centuries interact in a historical dynamics that provides a perspective of sociability stakes as part of a continuous process from the Century of Louis XIV to the Enlightenment and subsequently. All misconceptions were screened and subjected to rational investigation. Various methods were used to produce a full battery of internal and external criticism. Computerised tools methodically scrutinised unexplored resources, allowing novel associations to be made. Comparative survey and sociolinguistic analysis of European multilingual sources provided positive feedback as a result of comparative assessments of French, English and German texts. While Paris appeared to be the European capital of the elegant and polite society, such a paradigm has been found to apply mainly to the nobility, upper classes and educated elites as the rest of the French population in the provinces was found to speak local idioms and display bilingualism, even in salons. National languages including French conveyed local society lives in England, Germany and Switzerland, which, although imitated from the French model, were not always a faithful copy of it. Textual evidence revives the conversazione, esprit, petits-maîtres, ladies of the world, suppers, literati, bureaux d’esprit, ‘philosophical bureaux’, ‘literary bureaux’ and ‘insurrectional bureaux’, although relinquished by historians of sociability, and provides unambiguous demonstration of their specificity in the French cultural sphere of the Enlightenment. New light is shed on the current debates that have been on-going for twenty years about salon culture in France during the Enlightenment

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, in the context of ruin theory, most judgements are made on an immediate sense. An example would be the determination of ruin, in which a business is declared broke right away when it attains a negative surplus. Another example would be the decision on dividend payment, in which a business pays dividends whenever the surplus level overshoots certain threshold. Such scheme of decision making is generally being criticized as unrealistic from a practical point of view. The Parisian concept is therefore invoked to handle this issue. This idea is deemed more realistic since it allows certain delay in the execution of decisions. In this thesis, such Parisian concept is utilized on two different aspects.
The first one is to incorporate this concept on defining ruin, leading to the introduction of Parisian ruin time. Under such a setting, a business is considered ruined only when the surplus level stays negative continuously for a prescribed length of time. The case for a fixed delay is considered. Both the renewal risk model and the dual renewal risk model are studied. Under a mild distributional assumption that either the inter arrival time or the claim size is exponentially distributed (while keeping the other arbitrary), the Laplace transform to the Parisian ruin time is derived. Numerical example is performed to confirm the reasonableness of the results. The methodology in obtaining the Laplace transform to the Parisian ruin time is also demonstrated to be useful in deriving the joint distribution to the number of negative surplus causing or without causing Parisian ruin.
The second contribution is to incorporate this concept on the decision for dividend payment. Specifically, a business only pays lump-sum dividends when the surplus level stays above certain threshold continuously for a prescribed length of time. The case for a fixed and an Erlang(n) delay are considered. The dual compound Poisson risk model is studied. Laplace transform to the ordinary ruin time is derived. Numerical examples are performed to illustrate the results.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the primitive played a crucial role in the emerging European modernist aesthetic. While art historians have been exploring the role of primitivism in modern art for decades, this area of research has received little attention in musicology. In this dissertation I examine how primitivism is constructed in modern French culture as manifest in three of the most important avant-garde stage works of the first part of the century: the Ballets Russes's Le Sacre du printemps (1913) and Les Noces (1923), and the Ballets Suedois's La Creation du monde (1923). Relying on primary sources such as reviews, other historically relevant documents, as well as the art historical literature, I trace the evolution of the cultural role of primitivism in pre- and post-World War 1 French culture.French critics of Le Sacre viewed the work as a portrayal of Russian "Otherness" against which they could assert or question their own identity. Whereas the primitivism of Le Sacre was understood to be radical, excessive, even prophetic and apocalyptic, the primitivism of Les Noces was perceived as a manifestation of the classicist "call to order" and as an emblem of American-style mechanization. That it was also understood in terms of the post-war avant-garde's emphasis on classical ideals of austerity, dryness, and sobriety reflects the Purists' belief that machines heralded the new classicism.
Jazz was the ultimate symbol of both primitivism and modernity, and was initially hailed by the avant-garde as a revivifying source for the French tradition. In their attempt to neutralize the racial and political threats perceived to be inherent in jazz, the avant-garde emphasized its rationality, precision, and economy. La Creation du monde represents the avant-garde's complete assimilation of jazz and l'art negre into the French classical tradition.

Full textAbstract:
Dans le cadre de cette étude, deux catalogues ont été établis : le premier dresse une liste critique et mise à jour des éditions attribuées à Antoine Vérard ; le second répertorie toutes les gravures figurant dans ces dernières, ainsi que leurs occurrences. Cette double recension a permis de mettre en évidence le travail de treize dessinateurs, dont le Maître de Robert Gaguin et, peut-être, le Maître de la Chroniques scandaleuse. Vérard, qui était vraisemblablement déjà libraire avant de se lancer dans l'édition, se serait surtout inspiré de l'œuvre des imprimeurs-libraires parisiens, lyonnais et strasbourgeois plutôt que des manuscrits. La façon dont il fit usage des gravures évolue au cours du temps. Cette évolution est probablement l'expression d'une mutation des attentes des lecteurs, toujours plus nombreux et possédant des bibliothèques de plus en plus fournies aux XVe et XVIe siècle. Le génie de notre libraire fut de s'adresser concurremment à toutes les catégories sociales de lecteurs, quelle que soit leur richesse (en particulier grâce à la personnalisation des exemplaires). Il contribua donc largement à la diffusion de l'art parisien du livre illustréFor the purpose of my study, two catalogues were put together. The first one is a critical list of the editions attributed to Vérard (updating those of John Macfarlane and Mary Beth Winn). The second one is a list of all the cuts used in those editions with their occurrences. My analysis shows that these cuts were based on drawings of at least 13 artists. The Master of Robert Gaguin and, perhaps, the Master of the Chroniques scandaleuse were among them. Vérard probably sold books some time before he started publishing. The study shows that his use of woodcuts was inspired by bookseller-publishers from Paris, Lyons and Strasburg instead of following the manuscripts. The way Vérard used the cuts changed during his career. It could indicate an evolution in the way people read illustrations. Indeed, during the XVth and XVIth centuries, the number of book owners was continuously increasing, and so was the amount of books possessed by each of them. Vérard was probably one of the very few publishers able to produce books for every kind of reader (merchants, nobility, clergy, scholars, women), regardless of their wealth (thanks to the customisation of the copies). That is why we can say that he contributed greatly to the growing popularity of the Parisian art of illustrated books

Full textAbstract:
This project explores two main lines of inquiry concerning representations of ruins in Paris. I first identify a turning point in the evolution of the ruin leitmotif beyond Romanticism in its transfer into a new context: modern Paris. The analysis demonstrates the correlation between this leitmotif and urban environment in transformation, and their influence on aesthetics, leading to the renewal of modes of representation in literary and visual discourse. Unconventional ruins, recently created by demolition during Haussmannisation (1853-70) or war (1870-71) challenge conceptions about space (inside/outside, up/down, visible/invisible), time, and the individual in relation to the city. In view of tracing the transformation of the ruin ethos in relation to modern sensibilities towards the city and its modes of representation, a chronological approach concentrates on two main periods divided into four chapters. The first interval extends from 1848 throughout the Second Empire and the second spans the 1870-1871 conflagration and the Third Republic. An interdisciplinary and dialogic approach reveals the exchanges between different media (literature, journalism, painting, photography) aiming to convey the paradoxes of Paris's modern ruins. Moreover, close reading and comparisons of authors' and artists' depictions across media and genres nuance, correct or disprove critical appraisals, re-establishing artistic authority (e.g. photographers Charles Marville and Bruno Braquehais). The second line of inquiry posits that representations of ruins reflect on the relationship of Parisians with their city during systematisation and wartime destruction. Research reveals that individual initiatives of representing urban ruins attest to a new sensibility towards the city, preceding the Second Empire's (1853-1870) apparatus of historical and topographic documentation to preserve the appearance of spaces before intervention. Thus, during Paris's systematisation, private and artistically-minded projects become the tools of patrimonial preservation. By comparison, aesthetic approaches to ruins in 1871 mark a new appreciation of modern architecture, while engaging with war trauma.

Full textAbstract:
Les avocats inscrits au barreau de Paris entre 1643 et 1661 constituent un groupe important au sein du Parlement. Pour entrer dans le métier, il suffit de faire des études de droit et de prêter serment. Ils sont plusieurs centaines à exercer cette profession libérale qui se structure au milieu du XVIIe siècle et dont la pratique évolue de façon significative. Pour les avocats, l'image et la réputation, parfois critiquées dans la littérature, sont un souci permanent. Ils déploient aussi des grands efforts pour progresser socialement. Ils tentent profiter de leur profession comme d'un tremplin. L'étude de leurs fortunes et de leur cadre de vie montrent le dynamisme de ces familles. Nourris de culture classique, ils entendent prendre toute leur place dans la vie intellectuelle du royaume. Leurs bibliothèques montrent une volonté d'acquérir une vaste culture et les nombreux ouvrages qu'ils écrivent en font une catégorie majeure de la vie judiciaire de l'époque. Ils participent pleinement aux grands débats, religieux, politiques et littéraires qui traversent la France de Louis XIVThe lawyers who were registered at the bar of Paris between 1643 and 1661 formed a group of great significance within the "Parlement" (the kingdom's first court of justice). One had to study law and take the oath to become a lawyer. Several hundreds of them were practasing as lawyers, a profession that developped a structure in the middle of the seventeenth century and practice of which has evolved ever since. Their image and réputation, sometimes criticized in literature, were a permanent concern for them. They also expended a lot of effort to progress socially and attempted to take advantage of their profession as a springboard. The study of their riches and living environment show the dynamism of these families. Nurtured on classical culture they intented to find their place in the kingdom's intellectual life. They became a major group in the judicial life of the time thanks to their collections of books, that showed their will to become highly cultured, and their numerous writings. They took part entirely in the great religious, political end literary debates than ran through the France of Louis XIV

Full textAbstract:
The parish churches of Paris rebuilt between 1489 and 1590 are defined as an important group late Gothic monuments. They were each modeled after the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and given many of the same characteristics. The architectural features used in the rebuilding of the parish churches are part of a well-defined architectural vocabulary of both classical and flamboyant forms. The building histories show that the stylistic qualities of these monuments are the result of the constant application and reception of prevailing architectural ideas. The architectural arrangements and iconographic programs reveal the role of patrons; the monarchs, in particular, used the rebuilding of the parish churches to help define their own image. In this respect, the ecclesiastic architecture of the sixteenth century is reminiscent of the Court Style of Louis IX.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, we study Parisian excursions, which are defined as excursions of Brownian motion above or below a pre-determined barrier, exceeding a certain time length. Employing a new method, a recursion formula for the densities of single barrier and double barrier Parisian stopping times are computed. This new approach allows us to obtain a semi-closed form solution for the density of the one-sided stopping times, and does not require any numerical inversions of Laplace transforms. Further, it is backed by an intuitive argument which is premised on the recursive nature of the excursions and the strong Markov property of the Brownian motion. The same method is also employed in our computation of the two-sided and the double barrier Parisian stopping times. In turn, the resultant densities are used to price Parisian options. In particular, we provide numerical expressions for down-and-in Parisian calls. Additionally, we study the tail of the distribution of the two-sided Parisian stopping time. Based on the asymptotic properties of its distribution, we propose an approximation for the option prices, alleviating the heavy computational load arising from the recursions. Finally, we use the infinitesimal generator to obtain several results on other variations of Parisian excursions. Specifically, apart from the length, we are interested in the number of excursions and the maximum height achieved during an excursion. Using the same generator, we derive the joint Laplace transform of the occupation times of the Brownian motion above and below zero, but only starting the clock each time after a certain length.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis I provide analysis of several nineteenth-century artworks in order to elucidate the connections between place and identity as expressed in visual representations of Paris. I utilize Bakhtin's idea of the dialogical as a means of identifying multiple subject positions that might be accessed by particular individuals who live in socially constructed spaces specific to fin-de-siècle Paris. I discuss the construction of three performed identities unique to nineteenth-century Paris: the Flâneur, the bohemian, and the primitivist. In each chapter I will parse out the social construction of the spaces where these identities existed and were performed, and link those identities to their discursive functions as particular models of Parisian life. I will discuss the relationship of each representation of identity to Henri Lefebvre's concept of socially-produced space through analysis of the stylistic and compositional choices made by the artist. The visual artworks I discuss include Edouard Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, Vincent van Gogh's The Outskirts of Paris, Night Café, and Café Terrace at Night, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's Jane Avril and Divan Japonais.

Korid, Yacine. "French by association : the role of associations in a Parisian banlieue." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2014. http://sro.sussex.ac.uk/id/eprint/48946/.
Full textAbstract:
There are over a million associations in France dealing with a large variety of issues such as leisure, sports, health, social solidarity or education. Legally defined by the 1901 law, associations are complex structures that require financing and management. They can also be described as promoting ‘cultural expression' and ‘social integration'. Associations are particularly present in the French ‘banlieues' (suburbs) around town and city centers as these areas are often seen as epitomising social fragmentation. Based on ethnographic fieldwork amongst two associations in the Quartiers Nord area of Asnières, a town on the edges of Paris known for its diverse associative life, I explore the positioning, mechanisms and strategies adopted by associations in order to reduce the effects of socio-economic inequalities along territorial lines. My fieldwork mainly consisted of teaching French to newly-arrived migrant children and teenagers as well as helping others with their homework. This allowed me to gain access to a large variety of perspectives, from that of associative leaders and members of the local administration to the views of families living in the Quartiers Nord. To make sense of these multiple angles of approach, I rely strongly on Gerd Baumann's (1996) distinction between dominant and demotic discourses as it underlines the dynamic and contextual nature of interactions between residents and the local and national frameworks in which they evolve. I aim to uncover the processes through which some associations have become intermediate spaces (or interstices) of mediation between local or national administrations and the residents of given neighborhoods labeled as ‘difficult', in other words between center and periphery. By doing so, I add to the debate on the integration of banlieue inhabitants to discourses of French Republicanism.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the way that 'politics' and 'ethnicity' appear to be mutually exclusive in the French context, where the Republican ideal of citizenship excludes ethnic identity. I investigate the concept of 'social exclusion' and its application to the banlieues - built-up suburbs of major cities, in this case Paris, where there is a concentration of non-white residents. The banlieues are seen as areas of 'social exclusion' associated with restructuring and deindustrialisation. I argue that 'colour-blind' policies aimed at combating 'social exclusion' ignore a significant part of the lives and identities of banlieue residents by denying the enmeshing of 'culture' and 'structure', and disregarding the history of colonialism and migration. The existence of sans-papiers represents one of the omissions of 'social exclusion' policies. They are immigrants, and frequently banlieue residents, who have no legal right to be in France. The sans-papiers movement fights against the bureaucratic barriers to regularisation that the sans-papiers have encountered as individuals. My fieldwork with a sans-papiers organisation enabled me to observe and to take part in the interaction between French militants and immigrants from several different cultural backgrounds. The organisation offered an apt site for studying how 'politics' and 'ethnicity' interact in the French context. I give an account of the sans-papiers organisation during a six month occupation of an old Gendarmerie. My analysis of the sans-papiers movement draws on the theoretical models of Agamben (1998,1999), Badiou (1988) and Zizek (1999). I discuss the emergence of the movement in the context of French universalism. Using interview material, I look at the experience of being a sans-papiers in France. In relation to the events of the occupation, I consider the relationship between the sans-papiers organisation and the authorities, and the relationship within the organisation between sans-papiers and French militants. I investigate group solidarity amongst the sans-papiers and the extent to which their voice was heard in public space, particularly in relation to 'the list' of occupants for whom they demanded regularisation.

To understand Neo-Orientalism, that is, 19th century Orientalist concepts which were filtered through Primitivism in the 20th century, the racial, sexual and class antagonisms of the period, which not only influenced attitudes towards erotic and exotic imagery, but also defined and categorized humanity, must be considered in their historical context.
My introduction is an investigation of current art historical scholarship which has linked the manipulation of form by Matisse and Picasso and shifting avant-garde practice in Paris in the years 1905 - 1908, when Cubism displaced Fauvism, to the concepts of Orientalism and Primitivism. The problem of the ideological content of images of women, which I undertake to address, arises from these studies which rely upon the assumed metaphysical fascination with the exotic or the intuitive, personal concern for erotic symbolism by the artists as a solution to meaning. The absence of a rich critical discourse surrounding the paintings encourages my approach to the problem of meaning whereby in Chapter One I examine images of women produced in Paris in the specific discourses of popular and official culture in 1906. These representations of the female are identified as ideological constructions which functioned in relation to the important and broader issues of the moment affecting the dominance of French culture: class struggle and neo-colonialism.
In Chapter Two the "ugly" women of Matisse's The Blue Nude (Souvenir of Biskra) and Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon are analysed as intended avant-garde transformations
of images of female prostitutes and compared with the Images of women In popular and official culture and with each other, In recognition of their function within the historical context of their production. In conclusion I suggest that the difference in meaning between these paintings by Matisse and Picasso was Ideological, operating within the context of class struggle and neo-colonialism, and defined by their distinctive conscious and unconscious use of Primitivism.Arts, Faculty of

This dissertation examines the development of Henri Laurens' artistic work from 1915 to his death in 1954. It is divided into four sections: from 1915 to 1922, 1924 to 1929, 1930 to 1939 and 1939 to 1954. There are several threads that run through the dissertation. Where relevant, the influence of poetry on his work is discussed. His work is also analyzed in relation to that of the Parisian avant-garde. The first section discusses his early Cubist work. Initially it reflected the cosmopolitan influences in Paris. With the continuation of the war, his work showed the influence both of Leonce Rosenberg's 'school' of Cubism and the literary subject of contemporary Paris. The second section considers Laurens' work in relation to the expanding art market. Laurens gained a number of public commissions as well as many ones for private clients. Being site specific, all the works were different. The different needs of architectural sculpture as opposed to studio sculpture are discussed, as is his use of materials. Although the situation was not easy for avant-garde sculptors, Laurens became well respected through exposure in magazines and exhibitions. The third section considers Laurens in relation to the depression and the changing political scene. Like many of the avant-garde, he had left wing tendencies, which found form in various projects, including producing a sculpture for the Ecole Karl Marx at Villejuif. Patronage virtually ceased. However, Laurens was frequently included in articles in avant-garde journals and exhibited widely. The fourth section begins with the war. Laurens continued to live and work in Paris but was not included in official exhibitions. After the war, the press and State, which had largely disregarded members of the tcole de Paris, reversed this trend. As well as revisiting old sculptural themes, Laurens illustrated a number of books.

Dans divers quartiers populaires de la région parisienne, on trouve de ces marchés informels, dont les marchands, les biffins, vendent des objets usagés récupérés dans les poubelles. C'est l'un d'entre eux qu constitue le terrain de cette enquête, au nord de Paris, et dont certains des marchands, au début des années 2000, se sont mobilisés contre leur empêchement par les autorités et pour la légalisation de leur activité. Avec comme objet les résistances populaires, ce travail s'ouvre sur un étonnement : comment, vu leurs conditions d'extrême précarité, avaient-ils pu trouver les moyens de se mobiliser ? Mais, bientôt, la question se déplace. À leur contact et au contact d'autres des biffins du marché, je réalise la force, a priori insoupçonnée, qui les habite en réalité. Et la question devient : qu'est-ce qui était là, en eux, déjà, au quotidien, avant la mobilisation, et dont elle avait eu besoin pour advenir ? Le quotidien fait voir à quel point, loin de s'y résigner, ils font de leur condition un défi à relever. Et de la lutte ouverte au combat quotidien, l'objet s'ouvre : les résistances, leurs objets, leurs formes et leurs visées. Le regard se porte sur ces multiples façons dont ils ont, au jour le jour, de lutter contre la puissance des déterminations matérielles et contre celle des stigmates qui, toutes deux, menacent de les amoindrir dans leur humanité. Au marché, en particulier, l'économie de la biffe devient le lieu d'un combat pour la vie, matérielle et symbolique, à la fois pour tenir et pour devenir, un combat, comme ils disent, pour « s'en sortir », qui appelle à changer la vie. La récupération qui laisse place au hasard que le marché du travail leur a toujours refusé, le pied d'égalité de l'échange marchand qui les arrache aux assistances, publiques et privées, la place du marché, lieu d'interconnaissance, qui les laissent apparaître dans leur singularité, et le marché lieu du rire et de la parodie qui renverse, un instant, l'ordre inégal existant, autant de manières, parmi d'autres, dont ils ont de poursuivre les horizons d'égalité qui guident leur action. Des horizons jamais atteints - c'est le propre de l'horizon - mais toujours poursuivis, sur la route desquels des effets sont produits, et qui, parfois touchés du doigt, laissent entrevoir les espoirs, immenses, qui les animent et qui, de loin, dépassent leur expression publique. Parce qu'on ne dit pas tout à la face du pouvoir et que c'est bien souvent quand ils sont inaudibles que les petites gens disent l€ plus importantIn several popular neighbourhoods of the Paris region, there are informai markets where the merchants, the biffins, sell used objects found in trash cans. One of these markets constitute the field of this research, in the north of Paris, where some of the merchants, in the early 2000s, mobilized against the restraints put upon them by the authorities and sought to legalize their activity. Taking popular resistances as my object of study, this research started from a surprise : taking into account their extremely precarious conditions, how where they able to find the means to mobilize ? This question quickly lead to another. Through my contact with them and other biffins at the same market, I came to realize the strength that actually inhabit them, and I started rather pursuing the following question : what was already there, in them, in everyday life, before the mobilization, and that this mobilization needed in order to happen ? Their everyday lives show how, far from giving up, they make their condition a challenge to be confronted. The object of study is thus opened up between the public mobilization and the daily struggle : the resistances, their objects, their forms and their objectives. I study the multiple ways in which they struggle daily against the difficulties of the material conditions and the stigmas that threaten to diminish their humanity. In the market place in particular, the biffin economy becomes a battle place for material and symbolic life, in order both to manage and to become - a battle, as they say, to « pull through », while projecting a change of life. The recovery of objects that leaves place for the haphazard that the work market has always refused them, the equal footing of the market barter that tears them away from public and private assistance, the market as a place of intertwined knowledges that lets them appear in their singularity, and the market as a place of laughter and of parody that overturns for a moment the existing order of inequality, are so many ways, among others, that they have to pursue horizons of equality guiding their action. Horizons that are never reached - such is the nature of the horizon - but that are nevertheless pursued, and that open routes that produce effects and that bring to light the immense hopes that drive them and that by far exceed their public expression. One does not say everything in face of power and it is often when they are inaudible that the people of modest means say the most important things

Full textAbstract:
Dix ans d’un développement sans précédant de l’intercommunalité à fiscalité propre en Ile-de-France nous interpellent à présent sur la capacité de ce nouveau maillage institutionnel à rationaliser la gestion de la métropole parisienne. Subordonnée aux logiques politiques des élus chargés de sa mise en œuvre et concurrencée par les acteurs institutionnels plus classiques, l’intercommunalité peine pourtant à s’imposer comme cadre pertinent de l’action publique. Loin de se limiter à un état des lieux des désordres de la gouvernance francilienne, cette thèse insiste également sur un problème fondamental aux yeux du géographe ; celui de la possibilité ou non de se doter d’un découpage administratif cohérent et parfaitement efficient dans une agglomération de 9. 6 millions d’habitants. En s’appuyant sur les concepts de la géographie (ceux de territoire, de limite, de continuité/discontinuité) mais aussi en analysant de manière précise les aspects politiques, économiques, sociaux et territoriaux de l’intercommunalité, ce travail insiste sur le caractère mouvant des différents territoires de la ville. L’approche géographique suggère donc que la mise en adéquation des territoires fonctionnels et des territoires institutionnels ne peut être que partielle et que, au-delà de l’intercommunalité, il conviendrait sans doute de repenser certains paradigmes du développement localAfter ten years of an unprecedented development of intercommunlity with is own tax system in Ile-de-France, a question is raised, i. E. The ability of that new institutional network to make the management of the metropolitan area more rational. Subordinated to the political decisions of the elected representatives in charge of its implementation and competing with the more standard institutional players, intercommunality struggles to assert itself as a relevant frame public policy. Far from confining itself to an inventory of the shortcomings of governance in Ile-de-France, this thesis also insists on a core problem facing a geographer: is it possible or not to provide a system of administrative division both coherent and efficient in a metropolitan area of such a large dimension? We will both use geographical concepts (of territory, boundary, discontinuity) and minutely analyse the political, economic, social and territorial aspects of intercommunality in order to emphasize that the different territories of the city are always changing. The geographical point of view therefore suggests that functional and institutional territories can only be partially consistent with each other and that beyond intercommunality some paradigms of urban development probably have to be rethought

Full textAbstract:
Établi en 1983, le Plan Programme de l'Est parisien a souvent été considéré comme le point de départ d'une reconquête architecturale et urbaine de cette partie de la capitale. Depuis la fin du XIXᵉ et jusqu'aux années 1970, l'Est parisien a été perçu comme le pendant industriel et populaire de l'Ouest parisien, souffrant pour le prestige de la capitale d'un retard esthétique et fonctionnel. Cependant, depuis la renaissance de l'urbanisme parisien en 1919 et jusqu'au milieu des années 1970, lorsqu'aménageurs et promeneurs redécouvrirent les charmes de ces quartiers, l'Est parisien a été l'objet d'une politique urbaine de reconquête et fut partiellement reconstruit dans une tentative restée vaine d'homogénéisation et de modernisation. Considérant que l'ampleur des démolitions a depuis été analysée et mise en avant, nos travaux tendent à comprendre les enjeux et à réévaluer les réalisations induites par cette politiqueMost historians described the master plan established in 1983, in Paris, as the first attempt to reshape the Eastern part of the town. From the turn of the 19th century to the 1970's, the districts east of the city were considered as the realm of industry, of workers and cheap housing. These districts did not match the overall prestige of the French capital and their development was miserably lagging behind the rest of the city : public spaces as well as buildings and urban planning could not bear comparison with the luxury of the Western districts, not to mention the city centre. However, between 1919, when urban planning received a new impetus, and 1975, when the developers and the public understood the real value of the underestimated neighbourhoods, the districts east of the city were occasionally rebuilt. During this process, one often stressed the destruction resulting from a modernization process effort. It is time to reassess the full consequences of the last century

Full textAbstract:
Les fonds de vallée du bassin-versant de la Beuvronne contiennent des séquences sédimentaires du Tardi et du Postglaciaire. Elles autorisent une étude paléoenvironnementale en fonction des modifications climatiques ou anthropiques. Au Tardiglaciaire, le paysage reste ouvert malgré une reconquête végétale déjà perceptible. A l'Holocène, l'incision préboréale traduit une amélioration climatique et une augmentation du ruissellement. Jusqu'au Subboréal, la fermeture du milieu par une végétation arborée est corrélative d'une stabilisation des formations superficielles. La sédimentation alluviale est organo-tufacée. Au Subboréal, une reprise du détritisme apparaît. Mais c'est vers 4000 BP que l'activité hydroérosive se manifeste dans le BV avec quelques accalmies tourbeuses. Ces séquences morphosédimentaires holocènes semblent liées à l'anthropisation car il existe un décalage entre les crises érosives et les crises climatiques.

L'étude des phénomènes diagénétiques ayant affecté certains facies ou éléments particuliers permet : de rattacher la diversité faciologique des micrites à la diversité des boues initiales, de mettre en évidence au sommet du calcaire de Tonnerre, l'existence locale d'une zone émergée temporaire sous forme de cayes sableuses, d'établir une filiation directe entre boues, pellets et oolites micritiques de cette même formation, de démontrer la nature calcitique initiale des nanoconstituants élémentaires, de préciser, par la précipitation directe, leur origine. L’étude sédimentologique des divers facies répertoriés permet de caractériser quinze milieux élémentaires de dépôt et conduit à proposer un dispositif sédimentaire virtuel de type plate-forme carbonatée insulaire.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to use phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial DNA to investigate the biogeography and evolutionary relationships within the freshwater shrimp family Atyidae in Australia at a nested series of scales, both geographic and systematic. At the largest scale, the relationships between Australian and Indo-West Pacific species were inferred using the two most common atyid genera in Australia, Caridina and Paratya. Most atyids are hypothesised to have colonised Australia from Southeast Asia, but Paratya may be a Gondwanan relict given its distribution. Australian Paratya all form a strong clade, with a sister relationship to species from Tasman Sea islands. Molecular clock estimates place all of the splits within Paratya after the break-up of Gondwana, with Australia being colonised once 3½-8½ million years ago. This transoceanic dispersal is conjectured to have taken place through oceanic currents because of the amphidromous life cycle of some taxa of Paratya. Caridina has a very different biogeographic history in Australia, as numerous Australian species have close evolutionary relationships with non-Australian taxa from locations throughout the region. This implies many colonisations to or from Australia over a long period, and thus highlights the surprising adeptness of freshwater shrimp in dispersal across ocean barriers and the unity of much of the region's freshwater biota. A number of potential species radiations within Australia were also identified. This agrees with patterns detected for a large number of Australian freshwater taxa, and implies a vicariant explanation due to the development of colder, dryer climates. The systematic relationships of the remaining two Australian surface genera (Caridinides, Australatya) and two subterranean genera (Parisia, Pycnisia) were also investigated. Australatya forms a strong clade with Pacific 'Atya-like' genera, and Caridinides falls within a clade containing Australian Caridina. The hypogean genera, Parisia and Pycnisia, form a strong clade in all analyses, implying an Australian subterranean speciation. The possibility of a relationship between Parisia/Pycnisia and some Australian Caridina species may have implications for the monophyly of the highly disjunct genus Parisia, as it may descend from local Caridina species and represent convergent morphologies. The common and speciose genus Caridina was used as a model taxon for analyses within Australia. At the medium scale, molecular taxonomic techniques were used to uncover cryptic species within a problematic east Australian species complex. At least five species were detected. Phylogeographic and population genetic analyses were carried out on each of these five cryptic species, which diverged from each other in the late Miocene/Pliocene. There were very large differences between the species in the scales of overall geographic distribution, intraspecific divergence and population structure. These were characterised as either: 1) species with large ranges, low intraspecific divergence, limited phylogeographic structuring (Caridina sp. D); 2) species with large ranges, high intraspecific divergence, a high level of phylogeographic structuring (sp. B); 3) species with a limited range, low intraspecific divergence, no phylogeographic structuring (sp. E); or 4) species with limited ranges, high intraspecific divergences, a high level of phylogeographic structuring (sp. A & C). These patterns reflect a combination of large-scale factors, such as landscape structure and climate change, and small-scale factors, such as species-specific tolerances to local conditions and differing dispersal capabilities. Life history variation (egg size) between species may be correlated with different dispersal abilities. Species with the smallest eggs have the least intraspecific divergence and largest distribution, while those with the biggest eggs have the most divergence and smallest distribution, with medium-sized egg species in between. At the smallest phylogeographic scale, C. sp. C from the sand dune islands of Moreton Bay in southeastern Queensland was further analysed. Two different lineages (C1, C2) were found which diverged from each other during the late Miocene/Pliocene and so are older than the current landscape in which they are found. Small-scale phylogeographic analyses within C1, C2 and a sympatric fish identified divergences dating to the Pleistocene (about 100-300 thousand years ago). This implies that ice age sea-level changes may have structured these populations, although there is little observable influence of the last glacial maximum (about 18 thousand years ago). This study has highlighted a number of taxonomic anomalies within the Atyidae. The detection of many cryptic species implies that biodiversity within freshwater invertebrates is higher than currently appreciated. The evolutionary and biogeographic relationships of Australian atyids have proved complex, with many taxa having their own individual histories. At the large Indo-Pacific scale, dispersal is most evident, but within Australia, both vicariance and dispersal have been responsible for structuring all taxa at every scale.

A partir d'un corpus de plus de 7300 objets issus de 235 sépultures collectives du Bassin parisien, nous avons tenté de caractériser la parure de la fin du IVème au début du nème millénaire av. J. -C. Celle-ci présente une importante variabilité au niveau des formes et des matériaux. Au sein des tombes, les parures, souvent usées, sont retrouvées au contact des inhumés. Quelques individus étaient parés de nombreux objets, d'autres de quelques éléments, alors que la grande majorité des défunts ne possédait aucun ornement. Certaines parures se rencontrent indistinctement dans l'ensemble des tombes et d'autres ne se distribuent pas de manière homogène dans tout le Bassin parisien. Ces répartitions différentielles peuvent s'expliquer par la chronologie et par des contacts avec des groupes extérieurs. La parure, fort marqueur identitaire, est aussi un marqueur culturel important puisqu'elle témoigne des changements qui s'opèrent à la fin du Néolithique dans le Bassin parisien.

It is based on the anthracological analysis of 27 archaeological sites from the mesolithic to the historic times (18th century). The first part is dedicated to the basis of the study. First, methods and technics are explained (chapter 1). Then, a methodological reflection concerning taphomic problems is developped (chapter 2). At last, anatomical descriptions, ecology and chrono-geographical distribution of the identified taxa are given (chapter 3). The second part is dedicated to the original study of five archaeological sites from the mesolithic to the iron age (chapter 4 to 8). Finally, in the third and last part of this work, a synthesis (the first one) of charcoal analysis realized in the area is made (chapter 9). Then, an anthracological biozonation is proposed which emphasizes the human impact on vegetation dynamics from the neolithic and above all from the proto-and historic periods (chapter 10)

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to establish whether the performance or reception of a ‘theatre of resistance’ was possible amid the abundant and popular literary theatre seen during the Occupation of France (1940-1944). Playwrights and critics have made bold claims for five plays that allegedly conveyed hostility towards the occupier or somehow encouraged the French Resistance movement. These premieres will be scrutinised by examining the plays’ scripts, the circumstances surrounding their composition, the acquisition of a performance visa, public reactions and critics’ interpretations from before and after the Liberation of August 1944. I intend to demonstrate that the extreme circumstances of war-torn Paris were largely responsible for the classification of these complex works and their authors as either pro-Resistance or pro-Collaboration, a binary opposition I will challenge. While it is understandable that certain lines or themes took on special relevance, writers would not risk attracting the attention of the German or Vichy authorities. Mythical or historical subject material was (deliberately) far removed from the situation of 1940s audiences, yet was presented in the form of ‘new’ tragedies that resonated with their preoccupations. Individual testimony confirms that certain plays provided a morale boost by reaffirming hope in the future of France.

This season of HTBD centers the experiences of thirty-two natives, transplants, and immigrants to the Parisian region (Paris, France and its surrounding suburbs). This season features eight twenty to thirty minute episodes, which collage together overlapping concerns of the residents. Each episode has a theme ranging from terrorism and public policy to gentrification, social codes, and urban design. Each episode also includes interviews with several researchers to highlight social, cultural, and political nuances that are emphasized by residents' experiences. The project also features a website (htbdpodcast.com) with supportive materials for listeners, such as a glossary of terms, readings, and a newsletter. The written thesis chronicles the methods and processes used to realize the podcast and concludes with reflections on the value of podcasting for urban design and planning.

Full textAbstract:
Si le genre théâtral de la farce médiévale est un sujet exploré depuis longtemps par la recherche théâtrale, l’étude de sa postérité au XVIIème siècle en est encore à ses balbutiements. En particulier, il n’a pas encore été élaboré de système conceptuel global qui permette de rendre compte des spécificités de la « forme moderne » de ce genre marginal basé sur les traditions culturelles populaires, dont restent de nombreux témoignages polymédiatiques, attestations littéraires ou représentations visuelles. Ce travail se propose donc de fournir une codification structurelle du genre, appuyée sur une base documentaire cohérente, qui permette de rendre compte à la fois de ses spécificités de construction dramaturgique et des modalités concrètes de sa pratique. Dans ce but, il sera procédé à une analyse des éléments constitutifs de cette forme scénique à l’aide de l’outillage développé dans le champ de l’anthropologie des médias populaires afin d’aboutir à la mise en place d’une typologie articulée sur les rapports fonctionnels des personnages récurrents ou « Masques » créés par les farceurs, interprètes polyvalents spécialisés dans cette forme théâtrale. Ce découpage typologique en sept personnages-fonctions sera précisé par la constitution d’un inventaire détaillé des interprètes de « Masques » actifs sur la scène parisienne depuis l’organisation des groupements de farceurs au sein des troupes de théâtre de la capitale dans les années 1610, à la fin du genre sur les théâtres officiels durant les années 1680. Ce catalogage systématique des farceurs en lien avec leur fonctionnalité scénique permettra ensuite de reconstituer la chronologie de l’activité de ces praticiens au sein des différentes troupes de la capitale en resituant précisément leur production dans le contexte plus large de l’évolution de l’ensemble des pratiques théâtrales de l’époque, donnant ainsi l’occasion de mesurer précisément l’influence qu’exerce tout au long du siècle la farce sur les formes théâtrales régulièresWhereas the theatrical genre of medieval farce has been an area explored since a long time, the study of its successors in the 17th century is at its very beginning. In particular, a comprehensive conceptual system that could account for the specific features of the modern form of a marginal genre based on popular cultural traditions has yet to be developed, despite a great numbers of polymediatic records of this theatrical practice, in visual or written form. This work propose a structural codification of the genre, based on a coherent and consistent documentary base, in order to account for the specifics in the construction of its dramaturgy as well as of the practicalities of its practice. To this end, we will conduct a thorough analysis of the structural components of this theatrical form with the help of the methodological tools used in anthropological studies of popular media in order to establish a typology based on the functional relations of the stock characters (or “Masks”) created by the actors specialized in this particular theatrical genre. The typological division into seven character types will be exemplified through the creation of a detailed inventory of the performers in “Masks” on the Parisian stage, from the emergence of farces players in theatre troupes in the 1610s to the end of this theatre form in the official theatres in the 1680s. This systematic approach linking the farce players to a specific dramaturgic functionality will allow reconstructing a chronology of this practice in the different Parisian troupes. This will give the opportunity to replace the activity of the farce performers in the global evolution of the theatrical practices during the century, in order to the show the influence of the farce on the contemporary regular theatre forms

Full textAbstract:
E. Appert (1831-1890) est un photographe essentiellement connu pour ses portraits d’insurgés dans les prisons versaillaises après la Commune de Paris et pour ses photomontages des Crimes de la Commune. Cependant, sa carrière débuta à Paris bien avant 1871 et se poursuivit sur une trentaine d’années. Ce photographe se révéla être un véritable « reporter » attentif à illustrer l’actualité. Tissant des liens utiles avec la Justice et la Préfecture de Police, ses portraits et ses photomontages se firent l’écho des événements politiques. Alors réputé pour être un photographe partisan de Thiers ou proche des bonapartistes, Appert photographiait en fait l’élite politique, religieuse et militaire sans parti pris. Il mit rapidement en pratique un portrait dépouillé de décor, où l’homme politique, à l’instar du détenu, posait assis sur une chaise devant un fond uni. Ses photomontages réalisés avec beaucoup de soin étaient principalement des portraits de groupe reflétant l’actualité politique et judiciaire. Le photographe développa des liens étroits avec la presse illustrée et publia dès le début des années 1860 des portraits dans le Monde Illustré et dans l’Illustration. Cette collaboration suivie lui donna l’occasion de faire connaître sa production au grand public. Issu d’un milieu modeste, la photographie permit à Appert de s’élever dans la société. Son opportunisme commercial fut un moyen de survivre aux aléas politiques de la fin du Second Empire, du siège de Paris, de la guerre civile et de l’instabilité de la Troisième RépubliqueE. Appert (1831-1890) is a photographer known for his prisoners’ portraits after the Commune of Paris and for his photomontages of Crimes de la Commune. Meanwhile, he has begun his career before 1871 and for nearly thirty years. This photographer was in fact like a “reporter” looking after events of the moment. Weaving useful links with the Justice and the Paris police headquarters, his portraits and montages reflected political occurrences. Considered as a supporter of Thiers and closed to imperial family, Appert photographed above all the pick of Politic, Army and of the Church without choosing any side. He made a type of portrait, pure without any ornament: the model, politic or prisoner, seated on a simple chair in front of a plain background. His photomontages made carefully were mostly group portraits for political and judiciary actuality. The photographer developed narrowed links with illustrated press and has published portraits as early as the beginning of 1860 portraits in Le Monde Illustré and L’Illustration. This followed collaboration was an opportunity to be known by the public. From a modest social sphere, photography was a way for Appert to rise himself into the society. His commercial opportunism allowed the photographer to survive to economic and political difficulties throw the end of the Second Empire, siege of Paris, civil war and Third Republic

Full textAbstract:
En France au 19e siècle, la production de bronzes d'ameublement était concentrée à Paris. Le mobilier en bronze, souvent doré, parfois associé au cristal, au marbre ou à la porcelaine, était une branche des arts décoratifs regroupant luminaires, pendules, chenets, vases et garnitures de cheminée. Cette thèse recense les fabricants, les fondeurs, les sculpteurs, les ciseleurs, et autres ouvriers, et présente leur production artistique. Elle explique les étapes de création du modèle, de sculpture, de fonte, puis de dorure ou de patine ; et expose l'évolution des styles, de l'historicisme du Second Empire à l'Art Nouveau. Elle analyse les aspects économiques et sociaux de cette industrie d'art : exportations, chiffres d'affaire, salaires, conditions de vie des patrons et des ouvriers. Elle étudie la protection juridique de la propriété industrielle à travers les procès en contrefaçon, et le rôle des bronziers dans l'évolution de la législationIn France in the 19th century, Paris was the center of bronze production. Ornemental and furniture bronzes were often gilt or ormolu bronzes, combinated with crystal, marble, or china. This branch of decorative arts produced clocks, vases, candelabra, lamps, firedogs, mantelpieces and chimney-pieces. This study lists the bronzists, founders, sculptors, chasers, and other workers, and describes their production. The steps of model designing, sculpture, casting, gilding and tinting are explained, as well as the evolution of style, from historicism to Art Nouveau. Economical and social aspects of this industry are depicted : exportation, turnover, the life conditions of bronzists and workers, wages. The need of protection against forgery leaded to an adaptation of the French copyright legislation, under the pressure of the bronzists

Full textAbstract:
La premiere partie fait etat de l'avenement du moralisme autoritaire de la societe bourgeoise dans le milieu ouvrier. Des lors, l'alcoolisme commence a etre percu comme une maladie sociale. La seconde partie a ete consacree a analyser la prise de conscience de la necessite d'une reforme sociale ainsi que l'apparition de nouvelles orientations en matiere de prevention, a savoir la renonciation a une politique exclusivement axee sur la repression. Enfin, la troisieme partie met en relief le processus et les modalites de la formation d'une representation sociale de l'alcoolisme en tant que phenomene culturel de la societe capitalisteThe first part demonstrates the process in which the moralism of the bourgeois society was imposed in the working-class world. The second part inquires into the progress of the consciousness to the necessity of the social reform and the appearance of the new perspectives in the pervention of alcoholism, which denounce the policy of repression. The third part underlines the processes and the modalities of the social representation of alcoholism in the categorization of culturel phenomenon in capitalist society

Full textAbstract:
Au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, environ 940 établissements hôteliers sont ouverts concurremment dans la capitale. Hôtelleries d'accueil des voyageurs, ils se concentrent au nord ou affluent les arrivées de diligences : hôtels de grande renommée, ils préfèrent l'ouest fréquenté par les riches étrangers. La variété des tarifs n'entraine pas une grande différence dans la composition des biens mis à la disposition des clients, si ce n'est sur le plan de la qualité des matériaux utilisés. Le monde hôtelier tend à une uniformisation pour la décoration intérieure, le confort, le service des chambres, mais foisonne de spécialités diverses revendiqués par les établissements. Commerce surveillé par la police, exigeant la tenue d'un registre de la clientèle, l'hôtellerie est parfois aussi en butte à des clients indésirables qui parviennent souvent à la mettre financièrement en difficultéBy the middle of the 18th century, about 940 residential hotels were concurrently set up in Paris. As a hostelry for travelers, they were concentrated in the north where gathered public coaches though the famed inns preferred the west part of Paris visited by rich foreigners. The variety of the prices didn't involve a great difference in the set of the facilities placed at visitors' disposal, except for the quality of materials. Embellishment, comfort, attendance, were progressively uniformed meanwhile many hotels claimed their specificity. Trade narrowly watched by the police, exacting the keeping of registers of customers, hostelry happened to be exposed to undesirable visitors who put them in financial difficulties

Full textAbstract:
L'étude du mobilier parisien en laque ne fut jamais véritablement dissociée de l'histoire générale du mobilier parisien au XVIIIe siècle ou, parfois, rattachée d'une manière plus large, sans être véritablement approfondie, à la chinoiserie. Mais personne n'analysa, sur base de documents d'archives, les laques et son marché en France au XVIIIe siècle, composantes essentielles de la compréhension de ce mobilier. La grande difficulté d'obtenir à Paris des panneaux de qualité conditionna la création et le commerce de ce mobilier bien particulier. Nous proposons, après cette étude du marché des laques, d'évoquer les différents laques employés dans l'ébénisterie parisienne, ainsi que leurs copies, réalisées selon la technique du vernis martin, qui fera également l'objet d'une étude. Nous pourrons alors approfondir le commerce du mobilier parisien en laque, partie la plus importante à nos yeux, détenu, non par les ébénistes, mais par les marchands merciers, livrant au compte-goutte les panneaux de laque que les ébénistes ne pouvaient acquérir, vu leur prix élevé. Nous étudierons enfin la situation des ébénistes, puis nous traiterons des amateurs et des collectionneurs de laque et de meubles en laque, et tout particulièrement le goût royal pour ceux-ci, sur base des nombreux documents issus du garde-meuble de la couronne, conservés aux Archives nationalesThe study of Parisian furniture of lacquer was never really dissociated from the general history of Parisian furniture of XVIIIth century or, sometimes, related, in a broader way, without being truly deepened, to the 'chinoiserie'. However, nobody has analyzed, so far, the lacquer and its market in France during the XVIIIth century, on the ground of archives documents, which is crucial for a good understanding of this kind of furniture. The creation and trade of such particular furniture was conditioned by the great difficulty to obtain in Paris high-quality panels. After having studying the lacquer's market, we suggest to start on the different lacquer used in the Parisian cabinetmaking, together with their reproductions carried out according to the 'vernis martin' technique. Then, we will be able to deepen Parisian furniture of lacquer's trade -the most important of all-, hold, not by cabinetmakers, but by 'marchands-merciers' delivering sparingly lacquer panels that the cabinetmakers could not acquire due to their high price. Finally, we will study the cabinetmakers position, then we will deal with amateurs and collectors of lacquer and lacquer furniture and particularly the royal taste for them, on the basis of numerus documents from the 'garde-meuble de la couronne' kept in the National archives

Cette these met en evidence l'opposition entre efficience et predictibilite et plus exactement entre marche au hasard et analyse technique. Ce travail constitue, a la fois une validation partielle du modele d'orlean et du modele d'isng et une prevision a posteriori du krach d'octobre 1987. Pour ce faire, il a ete procede d'une part a une analyse statistique de marche au hasard realisee grace a des tests d'autocorrelation, de box et pierce et du ratio de variance et d'autre part, on a etudie les performances de strategies speculatives basees sur des moyennes mobiles croisees et sur le ratio de variance, et ce, sur des donnees journalieres de l'indice cac 40 de 1982 a 1983This work emphasizes on the opposition existing between efficiency and predictibility and to be more exact, between the random walk theory and technical analysis. The objectives were the partial empirical validation of the orlean's model and the ising's model and the ex-post prediction of the 1987's crash. To reach these goals, in a first step, a statistical analysis of the random walk theory was done on the basis of tests of autocorrelation, of box and pierce and of the variance ratio then in a second step the performances of speculative strategies relying on croising moving average and variance ratio were studied. The data used were the daily returns of the cac 40 index from 1982 to 1983
