Abstract:

C'est la région la plus occidentale du plateau tibétain qui constitue le terrain de mes recherches : le Ladakh. Du point de vue politique et social, le Ladakh comprend deux districts, celui de Leh et celui de Kargil, qui sont les deux seuls centres bureaucratiques, commerciaux et militaires de la région. Cette division administrative recouvre une autre réalité sociale puisque le district le Leh se compose d'une population de confession bouddhiste majoritaire à 80%, contrairement à la population du district de Kargil principalement musulmane puisque elle-aussi majoritaire à 80%. Et c'est précis

Abstract:

Glaciers in the Himalaya are often heavily covered with supraglacial debris, making them difficult to study with remotely-sensed imagery alone. Various methods such as band ratios can be used effectively to map clean-ice glaciers; however, a thicker layer of debris often makes it impossible to distinguish between supraglacial debris and the surrounding terrain. Previously, a morphometric approach employing an ASTER-derived digital elevation model (DEM) has been used to map glaciers in the Khumbu Himal and the Tien Shan. This project aims first to test the ability of the morphometric procedure

Abstract:

This thesis explores the politics and consequences of road construction for local populations and migrant road workers in Ladakh. Through a political ecology framework, I consider road construction as the transformation of an environment in which different agents act through specific socio-political arrangements and for purposes that are socially and culturally mediated. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted in remote villages and among groups of Nepali and Jharkhandi road workers in Ladakh, the thesis documents the case of the Zanskar Highway, a 292 km long trans- Himalayan road that has

Le Ladakh constitue la plus vaste, la plus élevée et la plus occidentale des régions naturelles de 1'Himalaya. Bien que politiquement rattachée à l'état indien du Jammu et Cachemire, elle est géographiquement située aux confins de l' Asie Centrale, de la Chine, du Tibet et de l'Inde. Par conséquent nous pouvons présumer que cette situation privilégiée lui a conféré une importance historique majeure. Cependant, Ie Ladakh a fait I'objet de peu de recherches archéologiques : on compte seulement trois sondages. Le manque de données est aujourd'hui comblé par un matériel abondant, varié et fiable :

Abstract:

Microgeodynamics relates grain-scale deformation microstructures to macroscopic tectonic processes. Here the microgeodynamic approach combines optical and electron microscopy, including electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), with field geology, geothermobarometry and microphysical modelling to study fault rocks deformed within a major continental strike-slip fault to quantify changes in fault zone structure and rheology with crustal depth. The overall thesis rational therefore is to test existing fault models against an exhumed example of a continental strike-slip fault zone, namely the ce

Abstract:

Converting to modernity does not only imply changing what one does and how, rather it involves changes in one's relationship with existence as a whole. Every culture is founded upon metaphysical presuppositions which determine the way its people relate to each other including children and childhood, and the environment that they are part of. Consequently, I view cultures as an ecosystem. Restructuring and inserting new elements (schooling, tourism, consumer economy and so on) which are founded upon different metaphysical presuppositions cause a considerable strain on the roots of the ecosystem

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to examine the effect of installing a Trombe Wall in houses in Ladakh, India, and to evaluate its impacts for energy-saving, improvement in life quality, and its financial viability. Trombe Walls are a passive solar technology that use a dark wall with a glass covering to slowly heat living spaces by storing solar energy. Passive solar technology involves using the sun’s rays to heat or cool living areas without the aid of mechanical devices. In this thesis, two types of passive solar technologies are studied, Trombe Walls and direct gain technology. Direct

What happens when bodies are the territory through which geopolitical strategies play out?

In Leh, political conflict between Buddhists and Muslims is being enacted through women's bodies.

The craft of weaving was bestowed upon Rupshu by the gods, and thus all acts related to it have a close connection to the sublime.
