Abstract:

The main theme of this work is analysis blending of sport and international relations. This relationship is discussed on the example of Olympic Games in Moscow and Los Angeles. These Olympic Games met with collective boycott of the Western or more preciesly the Eastern block. Boycotts of both of these Olympics Games were associated with the current political situation and with the culmination of the Cold War. The Soviet Union invaded to Afghanistan in 1980.Significant part of the Western world responded to this invasion by announcing a boycott of the olympic games in Moscow. The olympic games in Los Angeles were held four years later. Most of the countries of the Eastern block decided to boycott the games beacause of the fear for the safety of their sport expeditions. The theoretical part of this work describes the main events between sport and internetional relations in the 20th and the 21th century. The practical part is devoted only to olympic games in Moscow and Los Angeles, It is especially focused on the period before these Olympics Games. During these periods it has been decided about the boycott of the games at the high level policy. Final thesis, which is based on this diploma work, is the fact, that the sport is frequently used tool of the foreign policy and it is not very effective.

Abstract:

During the past decade (1984-1994), Australia experienced its worst recession since the depression of the 30's, followed by a no-growth period and an unemployment rate hovering around nine per cent. The awareness of Commonwealth and State Governments of the need for specific policies to stimulate new ventures and support small and medium enterprises (SME's), was increased by a range of reviews which resulted in a variety of initiatives. However, two key national initiatives, licensed Management and Investment Companies (MIC's) and the Second Board Stock Market, which aimed at making access to funds easier for new ventures, failed to provide sustained financial support to new innovative firms. Small businesses in Australia account for some 80 per cent of all businesses and 50 per cent of employment in the private sector. While many factors contribute to the successful establishment and growth of new businesses, a key factor is the availability of and access to affordable finance. The major objective of this study was to identify key success/failure factors in new venture creation and to review in detail the rise and fall of the Second Board Stock Market (1984-1992) - arguably one of the most significant Government initiatives during the 80's to provide access to equity funds. A survey of Melbourne companies listed on the Second Board was to provide valuable information on the success/failure of the Second Board Stock Market and to illuminate desirable Government initiatives meeting SME's survival needs.

Full text

Abstract:

This interdisciplinary thesis begins with a 1981 birthday gift of art, music, photography, and words presented to the citizenry of Los Angeles for their bicentennial titled The City of Our Lady Queen of the Angels. The installation was created by Anthony Duquette and Angelino artisans and depicted a court of giant Archangels presided over by their queen, the patron angel of the city. The installation was accompanied by a poem written for Los Angeles by Ray Bradbury, set to music by Garth Hudson, and preserved through photography by James Chen. I reconstruct the fragments of Bradbury's poem and prepare them as spell for transportation as a Los Angeles specific ritual performance. I document and then use the installation and poem as the inspiration for my own reinterpretation of the 1981 work through music, words and choreography titled A Dance in the Green Garden of the Queen of the Angels. My oral interpretation of the poem defines its structure, and composer David Johnson creates a score for the work, which I perform and record with instrumental quartet. I choreograph, cast, and costume the resulting Queen of the Angels Sonata as a ritual dance, and the piece is performed at CSULA’s International Day of Dance Concert, 2016. I then create a film production team to digitally record and edit the entire dance concert as a feature length film, and its seven individual dances as short film excerpts, that are distributed globally on YouTube.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is an examination of the development of the Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) during the first half the twentieth century. It charts the progress of the branch from its founding in 1914, to the departure of its fifth president in 1949. The pwpose of this thesis is to re-evaluate the role of the Los Angeles NAACP within two contexts: the history of twentieth century black Los Angeles and the history of the NAACP. In the former, the branch has long been considered a force of moderate conservatism within the black community, in the latter, the role of branches has been viewed as an issue of minor importance in charting the development of the organisation. By focussing on the branch, this thesis challenges these constructions. In the local context, it argues that the Los Angeles NAACP was less conservative and more pro-active than historians of black Los Angeles have given it credit for. Further, the history of the branch demonstrates a continuity of activism and protest in the city unmatched by any of its rivals. Within the context of the NAACP, the history of the branch helps construct a better understanding of how the organisation worked as a national network; it charts how the local branch responded to national policy, but also how the concerns and character of black Los Angeles framed the branch's activism and conception of itself within the national organisation. The thesis is divided into five chapters: the first examines the foundation of the branch; chapter two explores the impact of the ''New Negro" philosophy on branch activism in the 1920s; the third chapter details the branch's response to the Great Depression; chapter four charts the response of the branch to the challenges brought by the Second World War and chapter five explores the divisive conflict over leadership and communism that nearly destroyed the branch in 1948 and 1949

Abstract:

Ecological planning relies on a keen awareness of relationships between biophysical and social processes, then uses this knowledge for decision making in accommodating for human needs. The value of this planning process allows for design intervention while also ensuring a sustained use of the landscape, with these insights blending skill and artistry into place-making. In the 1960s, environmental concerns galvanized a generation of landscape architects who first codified ecological planning as a rationale for decisions with environmental stewardship. While this is the accepted canon, in the early 20th century during a period of experimentation and exploration, the Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm was using ecological principles as foundations for landscape architecture practice. This thesis challenges current discourse and accepted history, presenting evidence that the Olmsted Brothers' work in the 1920s predated many modern ecological theories and applications, and is an important addition to the historiography of ecological planning. This thesis largely focuses on Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. as the central historical figure, offering a more in-depth understanding of the evolution of the firm, and fills the gap of the Olmsted legacy. As the children of Frederick Law Olmsted, Sr., Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr. (1870-1957) along with his brother John Charles Olmsted (1852-1920) co-founded the Olmsted Brothers and created one of the most prolific landscape architecture practices, developing projects in all aspects of landscape design. The Olmsted Brothers' work in California accounts for over 200 projects, and ranks among the highest number of their 5000 designs developed in the United States. In the early 20th century, the city of Los Angeles offered significant ecological, cultural, and technological challenges for the firm, with the city's unbridled urbanization and proliferate use of water and automobility. Rich in solutions, the firm's built and proposed designs over the course of 20 years revealed the discipline of landscape architecture in its richest and most scalar form. From small scale gardens, residential communities, park and parkway systems, to open space and watershed planning, the Olmsted Brothers created public spaces that worked in relationship to the ecology of the region during a critical juncture in the history of regional planning in Southern California. A range of methods were utilized in this thesis. Primary data provided both qualitative and quantitative material for study and was extracted from letters, reports and writing, drawings, photos, plans and maps. Over 20,000 primary documents, written by the firm's principals, provided the basis for analysis, and in a new way, this thesis interprets not only the written documents, but related construction documents developed from 1914 - 1931. As part of its data collection, an original contribution of this study is a comprehensive corpus of Olmsted Brothers source material from their work in Los Angeles. Methodologies sought to modify these documents into a spatial understanding of their work through digital analysis and re-creation of designs. The Olmsted Brothers' design solutions provide insights into today's ongoing concerns about water management, sustainable urban planning, and multifunctional landscapes. Their design proposals solved multiple problems with the design, accounting for not only vast geography, but complex cultural and natural systems within it. The value of their ideas reflects landscape architecture solutions as hybrid, dynamic, and strategic, offering 21st century practitioners paradigms in an ever-changing ecology.

Abstract:

Le muralisme chicano, a la difference du mouvement muraliste mexicain des annees 1920, est ne de la lutte de cesar chavez. C'est au sein de la lutte de chavez et de son syndicat qu'apparaissent les signes avant-coureurs du muralisme chicano: la banniere de la vierge de guadalupe, l'aigle noir sur fond blanc et l'illustration graphique du journal el malcriado. Sur le plan socio-philosophique, le muralisme chicano a emerge du vide culturel: vide dans la formation des peintres ou exclusion des musees pour les artistes chicanos. Afin de pallier ces problemes, ils ont cree des centres culturels et alabore une conception de l'art non-occidentale. Dans les trois villes etudiees, le muralisme a ete tres different. A los angeles, le muralisme est ne des graffiti et a ete initie dans des cites tres pauvres par charles felix. Par la suite, de militant, le muralisme chicano est devenu environnemental. A san francisco, le muralisme chicano est ne du chomage et a pris un caractere multi-ethnique. A san diego, le muralisme est ne de la renovation urbaine et de la construction de "chicano park" pour lutter contre la construction du pont coronado. Nous avons trois mouvements muralistes chicanos. L'indigenisme est un thele recurrent dans les trois villes et est lie au plan espiritual de aztlan Chicano mural painting in the united states was born within cesar chavez movement and the farmworkers movement. The banners of the virgin de guadalupe and the aztec eagle as well as graphic illustration in el malcriado are the signs that foretell the mural movement. On a socio-philosophical and esthetic levels, chicano murals emerged from a cultural nothingness both on the point of view of lack of education for some painters as well as the exclusion of chicano artists from the artistic scenne. That is why they created cultural centers and built up a non-occidental conception of art. In the three cities we studied, chicano murals were very different. In los angeles, chicano murals emerged from graffiti and was initiated in poor housing projects by charles felix. Afterwards, from militant chicano muralism became environmental. In san francisco, chicano muralism was born from unemployment and had a multi-ethnic charcter. In san diego, muralism was born from urban renewal and from the buildin of chicano park to. Struggle against the building of coronado bridge. So, in fact, we have three chicano mural movements. Indigenism is a recurrent theme in the three cities and is linked to the plan espiritua of aztlan

Full text

Abstract:

Visually, Baldessari’s art mirrors the schoolroom chart, the cinematic storyboard, the Surrealist collage, the sensationalist graphics of the tabloid, and the grid format of the textbook. Black and white photography, performance, collage, bright prints, film, drawing, and painting: Baldessari has done it all. The artist has consistently demonstrated an inventiveness and sense of play in his work, and it is unlikely that he would stick to any one mode of artmaking for an extended period of time. It is probable that the explicit critique of contemporary Conceptualists of the text paintings mellowed because Baldessari had moved on to new questions. While he continues to examine the trope of the artistic outsider despite his commercial success, it is always with a wink. As Baldessari’s use of his own image in Portrait (Self) demonstrates, he has encouraged his audience to interrogate any artistic self-representation as a purposeful construct. Unlike the majority of his fellow Conceptualists, Baldessari’s serious goals are couched in a selfmocking attitude and in the colorful, playful style he has made his own.

Abstract:

L'économie de la dysfonction dans le Quatuor de los Angeles de James Ellroy. Notre étude propose d'aborder la notion de dysfonction par le biais d'une analyse formelle où le terme corruption ne sera jamais utilisé comme illustration s'agissant du roman noir, mais dans son sens philosophique tel que l'a défini Aristote pour décrire un système qui part du singulier et évolue vers le multiple jusqu'à atteindre un point de rupture. Au fil de la tétralogie de Los Angeles, on constate une évolution narrative qui nous mène progressivement d'un ‘je' unique mais divisé à une polyphonie de réflecteurs. Le Quatuor expérimente tour à tour les modes narratifs qui ont marqué l'évolution du roman noir, du Private Eye au roman de procédure policière. Ces modifications formelles vont de pair avec une transformation de la figure de l'enquêteur. La déliaison du texte qui aboutit à l'érosion de sa matière, l'écriture, est mise en parallèle avec les nombreuses dysfonctions intradiégétiques résultant de la crise des repères sociaux, familiaux et sexuels. La mort du féminin, l'infanticide et l'inceste sont des motifs qui apparaissent comme autant de manifestations de la perte d'unité due au dérèglement du symbolique. Les personnages s'affranchissent des Lois alors que l'écriture se libère des règles et, par ses entorses faites à la langue, inscrit le texte dans un délit littéraire entraînant le lecteur vers une expérience subversive Our approach to the notion of dysfunction favors a formal analysis. The word corruption will never illustrate crime fiction. It will be used in its philosophical meaning as defined by Aristotle to describe a system which goes from the single to the plural before it finally breaks off. Along the L. A. Quartet, a narrative progression leads the single but divided ‘I' to a polyphony of voices. The Quartet experiments at turns the narrative modes which characterised the history of crime fiction, from the Private eye to the Police procedural. Those changes go hand in hand with a tranformation of the investigator. The deconstruction of the text leads to the erosion of its medium. It is paralleled with the numerous intradiegetic dysfunctions which result from the crises of social, family and sexual reference points. The death of women, infanticides, and incestuous relationships are patterns emerging from the loss of unity due to the dysfunction of the Symbolic. Ellroy's characters trangress laws as the writing gets free. In twisting the language, it inscribes the text in a literary transgression leading the reader to a subversive exeprience

Abstract:

En 1983, le rapport A Nation at Risk déclencha un mouvement national de réforme de l’éducation visant à faire de l’excellence scolaire la priorité des politiques éducatives des États. La Californie s’impliqua fortement dans ce mouvement, particulièrement dans le domaine de l’histoire. En 1988, les nouvelles Recommandations pour l’enseignement de l’histoire et des sciences sociales adoptées par le conseil californien de l’Éducation mirent l’histoire au centre du programme de social studies. Alors que les guerres culturelles divisaient le pays, la Californie élabora un programme qui visait à allier excellence scolaire et multiculturalisme. En 1998, la Californie définit des normes scolaires et des objectifs de niveau pour les écoles. À partir de là, les écoles furent tenues pour responsables des performances scolaires de leurs élèves. Contrairement à ce que les réformateurs avaient initialement prévu, les tests standardisés ramenèrent la mémorisation de faits isolés dans les classes d’histoire, au détriment du raisonnement critique et de la participation sociale. À travers le cas du district scolaire unifié de Los Angeles, nous étudions le mouvement pour l’excellence scolaire dans le contexte de l’hyperpluralisme politique et culturel californien. Nous isolons les étapes successives du processus de réforme depuis l’État jusqu’aux écoles afin de mettre en évidence plusieurs aspects de la politique éducative californienne : les objectifs politiques et la culture institutionnelle sur lesquels elle s’appuie, la complexité de la mise en oeuvre par les districts et les exigences contradictoires qui pèsent sur les enseignants In 1983, the report A Nation at Risk launched a national education reform movement to make academic excellence the states’ education policies top priority. California became deeply involved in this movement, particularly in the subject area of history. In 1988, the new History-Social Science Framework for California Public Schools, adopted by the State Board of Education, made history the focus of the social studies curriculum. While cultural wars were dividing the country, California drafted a framework aiming to combine academic excellence with multiculturalism. In 1998, California set academic standards and goals of achievement for schools. From then on, schools were held accountable for their students’ performance. Contrary to what reformers had initially planned, standardized testing brought memorization of discrete facts back to the history classroom, to the detriment of critical thinking and social participation. By focusing on the case of Los Angeles Unified School District, we examine the academic excellence movement within California’s political and cultural hyperpluralism. We single out the successive steps of the reform process from the state level to the schools to emphasize several aspects of California’s education policy: the political goals and institutional culture supporting the reform, the complexity of implementation at the district level, and the contradictory demands made on teachers

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines cinematic representations of the L.A.P.D. within the context of discourses of law enforcement in Los Angeles and contends that these feature films constitute a significant strand within such discourse. This contention, which is based upon the various identifiable ways in which the films engage with contemporary issues, acknowledges that the nature of such engagement is constrained by the need to produce a commercially viable fictional entertainment. In four main chronological segments, I argue that it is also influenced by the increasing ethnic and gendered diversity of film-makers, by their growing freedom to screen even the most sensitive issues and by the changing racial and spatial politics of Los Angeles. In the 1940s and 1950s, the major studios were prepared to illustrate some disputed matters, such as wire-tapping, but represented L.A.P.D. officers as white paragons of virtue and ignored their fractious relationships with minority communities. In the aftermath of the Watts riot of 1965, racial tensions were more difficult to ignore and, under a more liberal censorship regime, film-makers―led by two independent African American directors―began to depict instances of police racism and brutality. Between the major L.A.P.D. anti-gang initiative of 1988 and the Rodney King beating of 1991, two films were released which tackled the inter-related issues of gang violence and the controversial nature of the police response. In the febrile atmosphere of the time, each found itself at the centre of local discourses of law enforcement. Then, in the wake of the King beating, Los Angeles and its police force endured the 1992 riots, the trial of O.J. Simpson and the Rampart scandal. These highly publicised events, which gave the L.A.P.D. a world-wide reputation for racism, brutality and corruption, also informed several movies in which the misdeeds of filmic policemen outstripped even the worst excesses of their real-life counterparts.

Doctoral thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2009. http://amsdottorato.unibo.it/1954/.

Full text

Abstract:

Angela da Foligno’s Liber is a fundamental text for the scholar of Women Mystics between the XIIIth and the XIVth century in Italy and all over Europe, and it has been chosen in my research because of its originality, with refer of its feminine and franciscan essence. Angela teaches to the italian hagiographic tradition the internal point of view of the holy woman, who becomes the teller of her both ordinary and extraordinary experiences. After giving references about the religious and social historical universe in evolution during the XIIth century, my research proceeds with a linguistic and rhetorical analysis based upon the Liber. I have been searching in Angela’s text and in contemporary italian feminine hagiography the sensory metaphor of “tasting”. That kind of metaphor has an ancient memory and, thanks to the Origene’s studies - the Christian Father of the IIIrd century - we can easily recognize it already in the Bible; Origene identifies the sensory metaphor as a rhetoric system, able to exemplify the God learning process of soul. Theory of “spiritual senses”, theory of vision and rhetoric, evolving from the IIIrd to the XIIIth century, are the theological and linguistic heritage of our feminine and franciscan literature. Inside of that, the metaphor of “tasting” moves and changes, therefore becoming the favourite way of mystics to represent the contact of their souls with God.

Abstract:

En 1889, les Français s'apprêtent à célébrer le centenaire de la Révolution. Alors que le régime semble définitivement installé et que les lois sur la liberté d'expression sont acceptées par tous, la République est confrontée à la fièvre boulangiste, puis à la menace anarchiste. En Anjou, où les bleus et les blancs se livrent toujours une lutte sans merci, Angevins, Choletais et Saumurois font eux aussi l'apprentissage de la démocratie et des nouveaux modes d'expression politique. Comment, les citoyens des trois principales agglomérations du Maine-et-Loire réagissent-ils aux choix de sociétés pour lesquels les Français sont appelés à se prononcer pendant la Belle Époque ? In 1889, the French prepare to celebrate the centenary of the Revolution. Whereas the regime seem to be definitely settled and the laws on freedom of expression are accepted by everyone, the Republic has to cope with the Boulangist fever, then with the anarchist threat. In Anjou, whereas the Republicans and the Royalists are still engaged in a pitiless fight, the peoples of Angers, Cholet and Saumur also get a working knowledge of democracy and new modes of political expression. How do the citizens of the three main towns of Maine et Loire react to the choices of societies in favour of which the French will have to pronounce themselves during the Belle Epoque?

Abstract:

Cette thèse s'intéresse à quatre projets non construits du groupe d'architectes angeleno Morphosis. Ces quatre projets n'existent que par les maquettes et les dessins qui les représentent, ainsi que par les artefacts conceptuels auxquels ils sont liés ; ils témoignent d'un paroxysme de complexité géométrique et d'un raffinement dans la production graphique, deux caractéristiques du travail des Californiens par lesquelles ils se feront connaître sur la scène internationale à la fin des années 1980. Ces quatre projets – les Malibu, 6th Street, Reno & Was Houses – sont devenus iconiques par la couverture médiatique dont ils ont bénéficié à l'époque, bien que Morphosis les ait présentés sans explications, ou presque. L'ambition de cette recherche est donc de décoder les mécanismes compositionnels et représentationnels à l'oeuvre dans ces projets et dans ces artefacts conceptuels souvent complexes et cryptiques, de façon à exposer les principes à l'oeuvre dans leur écriture architecturale sophistiquée. Pour ce faire, cette recherche dépossède temporairement Morphosis de son statut d'Auteur, et s'empare des objets du corpus afin d'en proposer une lecture interprétative, d'en extirper un propos architectural dont ces objets seraient porteurs, mais que Morphosis n'a jamais explicité comme tel. Les moyens que se donne cette recherche pour mener ces investigations sont principalement des procédés opérationnels basés sur les outils canoniques de la discipline architecturale : la manipulation des systèmes projectifs augmentée des techniques graphiques contemporaines. Il s'agira donc de décrire des objets architecturaux n'existant que dans la représentation graphique, en mobilisant précisément la représentation graphique. Les deux objectifs principaux de cette recherche sont monographiques et méthodologiques. En ce qui concerne les objectifs monographiques, il s'agit de rendre accessible et didactique des procédés de compositions basés sur la systémique et la complexité ostentatoire qui ont fait la marque de fabrique de Morphosis, et de comprendre notamment en quoi les objets du corpus, engendrés par les moyens traditionnels anticipent le courant architectural dit numérique de la décennie qui va suivre. En ce qui concerne les objectifs méthodologiques, il s'agit de mettre au point une méthode d'investigation procédant d'une transposition des outils opérationnels de la conception architecturale dans un contexte analytique ; une méthode faite d'itérations récurrentes empruntant les chemins parfois intuitifs de l'architecte-concepteur, mais dans une démarche d'observation a posteriori, rigoureuse et référencée, en vue de la construction d'un nouveau corpus de connaissances.

This study recovers the history of Canada's Voluntary Aid Detachment nurses, or VADs, from their creation as a reserve of emergency auxiliary nursing assistants in 1914 under the aegis of the St. John Ambulance Association, to their demobilization and resettlement into peacetime civilian life to 1930. Canada's VAD plan was modelled on a British scheme initiated in 1909 in anticipation of war in Europe. Intended to supplement the domestic military medical services, the role of the Canadian VADs evolved with the advent of the war into fulltime nursing assistance. The research for the study is based on archival sources, including diaries, letters and pre-recorded narratives of VADs who served in Canada and overseas, official government documents, and those of the St. John Ambulance and Red Cross in Canada and Britain, who were responsible for the VAD organisation. In addition to manuscript sources of individuals involved in the VAD movement, the published records from contemporary books, memoirs, journals and newspapers were examined. This research permitted the identification of 808 Canadian VADs, out of an estimated 2,000 primarily young, single, middle-class Anglo-Protestant women, who served as nursing assistants, but also as ambulance drivers and support personnel. The study demonstrates the evolution of Canadian VADs as an extension of the nineteenth century voluntarist traditions of the women's movement. Through patriotic and maternalist ideology, VAD service was legitimised as a form of voluntary active service for women, equating to masculine military service. Excluded from Canada's military hospitals overseas, VADs served in military convalescent hospitals at home, and British military hospitals abroad. As volunteers, they challenged the professional aspirations of Canada's qualified graduate nurses, motivating them to seek regulation of the qualifications for nursing practice, and elevating the educational standards. Volunteering as a VAD offered Canadian women a singular opportunity for active war service. Previously overshadowed by British VAD experience, the study of Canada's VADs restores a dynamic organisation to the history of women and women's work, as well as contributing to scholarship in Canadian medical and military history.

We used the twenty four issues of bi-monthly magazine series Chiclete com Banana as source for our research, through the analysis of the examples we selected images which proportioned us to build a small panorama of the chosen period, whose refers throughout the years the publication lasted. This research established itself on the usage of charges, comic stripes and cartoons produced by the artist as testimonials of his era, identifying these as a neutral approach impregnated with meaning, corresponding to the artist's point of view but also considering his insertion in a social and professional group within the scope of his production, This study is bound to the line of research Teaching of History and Historical Knowledge from the Postgraduate Program of the Federal University of Paraíba, concentrated on History and Historical Culture , through this study we strive for outlining the main characteristics of the new political situation configured after the ending of the military regime in Brazil, from the point of view of the referred artist, his perception and his critical perspective about the politics and the politicians of the New Republic. O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar as representações cômicas produzidas pelo cartunista Angeli sobre a política brasileira, do período que se incia em 1985, com a redemocratização do Brasil, até o ano de 1990. Utilizamos como fonte para a nossa pesquisa os vinte e quatro números da série bimestral da revista Chiclete com Banana. Através da análise dos exemplares, selecionamos imagens que nos permitiram construir um pequeno panorama do período escolhido, este referente aos anos pelos quais a publicação se estendeu. Esta pesquisa assentou-se sobre a utilização das charges, tiras cômicas e cartuns produzidos pelo artista como testemunhos de sua época, identificando-os como discursos neutros carregados de significados, correspondentes à visão pessoal do artista mas também considerando sua inserção num grupo social e profissional no âmbito do qual sua produção se insere, este estudo está vinculado à linha de pesquisa Ensino de História e Saberes Históricos do Programa de Pós-Graduação da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, com área de concentração em História e Cultura Histórica . Através dele, buscamos traçar as principais características da nova conjuntura política, configurada após o fim do regime militar no Brasil, a partir das lentes do referido desenhista, suas percepções e sua perspectiva crítica da política e dos políticos na Nova República.

Abstract:

Brown v. Board of Education (1954) was a significant court case fought to provide equal educational opportunities for African-American students. Though the case was fought with good intentions, there may have been unintended consequences that occurred due to the policy implementation. The purpose of this research was to explore the policy, its implementation, and assess the extent to which the goals of the original policy were met. This study used a mixed-methods approach and was set within one large urban school district. The qualitative portion of the study included interviews with a small group of educators who were directly impacted by Brown and its implementation. The data from both the interviews and the selected focus schools indicated that the initial goals of Brown, equal educational opportunities and integrated schooling, were not met. This research provided information from key areas that may serve as a guide to help make future policy implementation successful.

Félicité Angers, mieux connue sous son pseudonyme de Laure Conan, est la première Canadienne française à vivre de sa plume. Sa correspondance, d’abord recueillie et annotée par Jean-Noël Dion en 2002 sous le titre J’ai tant de sujets de désespoir, puis complétée par la découverte de douze autres lettres parues en 2007 dans l’édition critique d’Angéline de Montbrun préparée par Nicole Bourbonnais, est constituée aujourd’hui de 362 lettres qui demeurent le seul matériau par lequel nous avons accès à l’intimité de l’écrivaine. Nous pourrons donc saisir son parcours par le biais de cet élan qu’est la pratique de l’écriture épistolaire en sillonnant ses lettres intimes, empreintes d’une sensibilité qui lui est propre, tout autant que ses lettres professionnelles, qui témoignent du processus de son émancipation littéraire. Cette correspondance nous permettra également, en dernière partie, de lever le voile sur les influences féminines de l’écrivaine.

Carpentieret el otono del patriarca (1975) de g. Garcia marquez. Son introduction revele que le personnage du dictateur latino-americain a connu une evolution esthetique remarquable quand on considere le nombre de romans publies bien avant 1975. Chacun des trois premiers chapitres, correspondant aux trois romans, porte non seulement sur les portraits physiques et psychologiques mais aussi sur les traits mythiques ou culturels du dictateur considere (monsieur le president, le premier magistrat et la patriarche). Les deux chapitres qui suivent montrent, d'une part, que les rapports du dictateur avec ses concitoyens sont ambivalents, et avec le peuple, ils tiennent beaucoup olus du mythique, du religieux que du politique. D'autre part, ils montrent que la nature meme du pouvoir du dictateur, qui tend au divin, le condamne a vivre dans la solitude la plus totale. Le sixieme chapitre est un "resume" des similitudes et divergences entre les trois drictateurs. Enfin, le septieme et dernier chapitre vise a montrer que derriere le dictateur de fiction se cachent des dictateurs reels This thesis aims to study the image of the latin americain dictator through three novels : el senor presidente (1946) by m. A. Asturias, el recurso del metodo (1974) by a. Carpentier and el otono del patriarca (1975) by g. Garcia marquez. Its introduction reveals that the image of the latin american dictator has knowna notable aesthetic evolution when one considers the number of novels published before 1975. One of the three chapters corres ponding to the three novels truns not only on the physical and psychological characters but also on the mythical or cultural characters of the considered dictator (mr. President, prime magistrate, patriarch). The two following chapters, show, on the one hand, that the relations of the dictator with his follow-citizens are ambivalent, and with people, these relations are due much more to the myth, religion than to politics. On the other hand, they show that nature itself of dictatorial power, which tends to sacred power, condemns the dictator to live in the most complete solitude. The sixth chapter summarizes the similitudes and divergences between the three dictators. Finally, ther seventh and last chapter aims to showing that true dictators hide behing the dictator of fiction

Abstract:

Angel vazquez a passe trente-cinq ans a tanger, malgre deux romans publies lors de cett periode tangeroise - se enciende y se apaga una luz qui obtint le prix planeta en 1962 et fiesta para una mujer sola sorti deux ans plus tard - ces annee s furent difficiles pour cet ecrivain marginal. L'exil vers l'espagne s'impose comme l'unique solution apres l'independa nce du maroc. La derniere oeuvre de vazquez ecrite en espagne et la plus achevee, la vida perra de juanita narboni, apparait comme le point d'aboutissement d'une trajectoire romanesque extremement coherente. Les structures narratives des romans generent des effets esthetiques et semantiques qui debouchent sur la description d'un univers fictionnel satu re de desillusion et d'echec relationnel. Le systeme des personnages s'organise autour de structures-pivot qui mettent en evidence la solitude inalienable de l'individu et sa quete identitaire dans une societe a la derive. Tanger a la fois cadre, objet et agent de l7ecriture s'impose comme le fil conducteur d'une oeuvre et pose les problemes du traitement litteraire de l'histoire Angle vazquez spent 35 years in tanger. In spite of two novels published during this tangerian period - se enciende y se apaga una luz which had the planeta prize in 1962 and fiesta para una mujer sola, published two years later - those years were difficult for this marginal novelist. Exile towards spain was the unique solution after the independance of morocco. The last angel vazquez's novel, written in spain, the most completed la vida perra de juanita narboni is the issue of a romantic achievement extremely coherent. The narrative structures of the novels generate esthetic and semantic effects that open on the description of a imaginary universe full of desillusion and relational failures. The system of characters gets around axes structures which show obviously the inalienble solitude of the person.

Em A Cidade Sitiada (1949), Lucrécia é uma mulher “sitiada”, ela não é apresentada ao leitor como sujeito da sua história, mas, em vez disso, um objeto narrado. É uma estrangeira no mundo onde habita e com o qual não interage, cercada, exilada por muros da cidade. Em seu romance Carter mostra o processo de modernização, o amor, a perspectiva dos marginalizados, as relações humanas e a liberdade feminina. Para colaborar com o efeito de libertação, a autora livra-se de ambientes fechados que faziam parte do cenário de seus romances anteriores e opta pelo espaço exterior. E ainda opta pela protagonista Fevvers, a mulher com asas, que em si carrega uma poderosa imagem de libertação e transformação feminina e tem consciência do que representa. As descobertas das protagonistas estão ambientadas no processo de modernização social de fins do século XIX e início do século XX. Enquanto na Inglaterra a mulher nasce com asas e livre, no Brasil a mulher ainda continua presa no sistema de sociedade patriarcal. Diante do exposto, pretende-se neste trabalho comparar o modo como Clarice Lispector e Angela Carter conseguem discutir a questão de gênero na literatura e transpor as linhas do patriarcado na sociedade. Sob tal prisma a intenção dessa tese é confrontar e aprofundar a construção das personagens femininas nas obras. The aim of this thesis is to discuss how the gender issue is represented in literature by pointing out differences and similarities between Clarice Lispector’s A Cidade Sitiada (1949) and Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus (1984). In A Cidade Sitiada (1949), Lucrécia is a "beleaguered" woman; she is not presented to the reader as the subject of her story, but, rather, an object. She is a foreigner in her world, with what she does not interact, surrounded, exiled by city walls. In her novel Carter shows the process of modernization, love, the perspective of the marginalized, human relations and female freedom. To build the effect of liberation, the author frees herself from closed environments that were part of the settings of her previous novels and opts for an exterior space. And she also chooses as protagonist Fevers, a woman with wings, a powerful image of liberation and female transformation and aware of what she represents. The discoveries of the protagonists are set in the process of social modernization of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. While in England the woman is born with wings and free, in Brazil she remains trapped in patriarchal society. Lastly, this research paper intends to compare the way in which Clarice Lispector and Angela Carter can discuss the gender issue in literature and break through the lines of patriarchal society. From this point of view, the intention of this thesis is to confront the construction of the female characters in the works and discuss the process of modernization under the eyes of the protagonists in English and Brazilian literatures.

Cette étude s'est basée sur tous les documents écrits qui ont pu être édigés à l'usage des stagiaires, des formateurs et du ministère de l'agriculture qui participe à la validation de la formation, afin d'en cerner l'évolution selon les trois axes suivants: population, système de formation et système d'évaluation-validation au terme de cette recherche, trois étapes apparaissent clairement.

Abstract:

This paper attempts to provide a cost-benefit analysis of the economic and social effects of hosting the Olympic Games. I provide an overview of the economic and social impacts of the Games and analyze their effects. I focus the economic effects of the Games on tourism, trade, corporate sponsorship and the sale of television rights. I also look at the social effects of the Games on infrastructure and employment. Finally I assess why the Olympics remain an appealing venture for cities, despite evidence that demonstrates how they produce more actual harm than good for the host city. In addition, I provide predictions for two alternative directions that the Olympics could take in the future: to either continue in the current trend of immense growth and commercialization, or alternatively, implement a new Olympic bidding process that establishes stricter criteria for candidate cities.

Abstract:

Il s'agit d'une etude des strategies d'ecriture tropique et symbolique de m. A. Asturias a partir d'un corpus de trois romans (<< hombres de maiz >>, <<mulata de tal >>, << maladron >>) dont il est fait une approche intertextuelle afin de degager les singularites et les constantes d'ecriture. Les mecanismes de fonctionnement interne mis au jour laissent apparaitre comment tropes et symboles, organises,pour les premiers, en reseaux de signification, pour les seconds, en constellations, contribuent a guider le lecteur, par paliers, vers le sens du sens. Organisee en trois parties, cette these propose d'abord une reflexion theorique d'ordre conceptuel et methodologique puis une mise en pratique en deux volets concus comme deux etapes hermeneutiques. Le premier volet suit une demarche d'analyse structurale des reseaux de tropes et propose, sur la base des donnees recueillies, une analyse textuelle du role des tropes dans chaque roman - supports du sens dans << mulata de tal >>, vecteurs du sens dans << hombres de maiz >>, matrice genetique du sens dans << maladron >> - et dans le texte asturien dans son ensemble. Le second volet d'interpretation, descriptive et analytique, des constellations symboliques eclaire le role fondamental des reseaux tropiques dans la constitution du mode d'etre symbolique du texte asturien. En suivant les etapes d'une methodologie d'approche rhetorique, en interrogeant les lieux de conversion textuels ou s'opere le passage du sens direct au sens indirect, sont mises au jour les potentialites semantiques du texte : les strucutres superficielles de la langue asturienne le niveau discursif particulierement actif que constituent tropes et symboles, en interaction avec le niveau denotatif, donnent acces aux schemes logico-semantiques des structures profondes de l'univers asturien.

Abstract:

Cet examen synchronique de l'oeuvre romanesque de l'ecrivain guatemalteque miguel angel asturias met en evidence ses rapports avec les religions et les mythes precolombiens. Elle eclaire de quelle facon et en vertu de quels criteres les mythes et les rituels precolombiens sont integres a son oeuvre romanesque, comment il en selectionne et reactualise certains, et comment ils peuvent lui servir a la creation de nouveaux mythes. L'auteur est a la recherche d'une societe et d'un monde harmonieux perdus, detruits, representes par la communaute tribale agricole indienne, reposant sur des valeurs exprimees par le mythe du mais et les rituels s'y rattachant, et recrees litterairement a partir des textes precolombiens. Le plus souvent, la rupture de cette harmonie est le fait de l'intrusion du monde occidental, de ses valeurs et de ses formes de pensee, traduites par des archetypes puises dans la tradition occidentale ou recrees a partir de celle-ci: judas, maladron, le tentateur vert. . . Cette rupture est assimilee a la chute, apres le peche originel, dans un monde infernal,sterile, domine par les forces du mal, dont les archetypes pourraient etre le dieu maya tohil ou le diable metis candanga. Dans le meme temps, asturias poursuit la recherche de la societe harmonieuse disparue, a travers des experiences pouvant provenir du monde occidental, restituees dans le contexte mesoamericain grace au langage et a la reactualisation du mythe de quetzalcoatl. Ceci permet de degager la double provenance de l'inspiration de cet auteur, le langage et les formes expressives du monde precolombien servant a integrer au monde mesoamericain des experiences occidentales (procede litteraire parfois quelque peu artificiel), et exprimant une revendication metisse qui cherche a s'affirmer et a retrouver ses racines. Et par le choix des moyens expressifs employes, l'oeuvre d'asturias depasse le monde mesoamericain pour pretendre a l'universel A synchronic examination of the fiction of the guatemalan novelist miguel angel asturias emphasizes its close relatioship with pre-columbian mythe and religions and draws light on the criteria which led the novelist to merge pre-columbian myths and rituals into his own works of fiction and on the way in which he singles out some of them and brings them up to date, so as to create from them fresh myths of his own. The writer is in search of a society, a world of harmony, which has long since been distroyed and forsaken, a world represented by the way of life of agricultural indian tribal communities. This way of life is based on the myth of indian corn and the rites it entails are recreated by the novelist in his fiction, using pre-columbian texts as a point of departure. More often than not, where this harmony breaks down is with the intrusion of western civilization, its values and its modes of thought, expressed in the form of archetypes drived from western traditions or developed from them: judas, maladron, the green tempter. . . This breakdown is connected with the fall, following the original sin in an infernal barren world dominated by the forces of evil typically embodied in the maya god tohil or the half-cast devil candaga. Similarly, asturias pursues his quest for the bygone harmonibus society through experiences met with in the western world and reinserted into the central american context through language and a modernization of the quetzalcoatl myth. The dual origin of the novelist's inspiration thus becomes evident through his choice of language and form of expression, which serve to integrate western experiences into the central american world (occasionally a somewhat artificial literary process), as if the half-cast was eagerly demanding recognition and wanted to rediscover his roots. Thus by virtue of asturias's choice of sources and masterly handling of language, his works transcend the central american world and attain a more universal meaning

Abstract:

Si Charles Bukowski n’a jamais énoncé de théorie présidant a son œuvre, ni fait de recherche métrique explicite, et ne s’est jamais réclamé d’une quelconque école littéraire, ce rejet de toute forme d’élitisme littéraire relève en réalité d’une poétique paradoxale, qui cherche à faire s’effondrer les barrières entre écriture et oralité, entre l’œuvre et le corps qui l’a produite, entre l’œuvre et la vie de son auteur. Une poétique de la présence est portée par une utopie où la frontière entre monde et langage disparait, pour remettre le corps du poète au centre du processus littéraire. L’écriture poétique refuse sa part d’absence, celle du corps et de la voix, celle du moment d’écriture, pour devenir presque performance. Il en résulte une transparence trompeuse, dont la clarté est si éblouissante que, plutôt que de l’exposer, elle dissimule sa profondeur entre les lignes du texte If Charles Bukowski never formulated a theory presiding over his work, nor made explicit metrical research, and never claimed any literary school, this rejection of any form of literary elitism is, in fact, a paradoxical poetics, which seeks to break down the barriers between writing and orality, between the work and the body that produced it, between the work and the life of its author. A poetics of presence is carried by a utopia where the boundary between world and language disappears, to put the poet's body at the center of the literary process. The poetic writing refuses its share of absence, that of the body and the voice, that of the moment of writing, to become almost a performance. The result is a deceptive transparency, the clarity of which is so dazzling that, rather than exposing it, it conceals its depth between the lines of the text

De fato a hierarquia de gênero, raça e classe direcionou as mulheres negras para a fronteira dos acontecimentos, forjando muitas vezes a verdade dos fatos, calando e subjugando as vozes afro-femininas. Nesse sentido, demonstraremos que a opressão por causa da raça, do gênero e da classe social influencia a própria condição existencial das autoras que, por meio de experiências traumáticas, têm suas identidades massacradas. Com o intuito de resgatar a identidade e a subjetividade perdida, Carolina Maria de Jesus e Maya Angelou escrevem e (re)constroem um eu que, mesmo fragmentado pelas vicissitudes da vida, é capaz de expressar seu grito por meio da escrita. Acima de tudo, a interseccionalidade de opressões torna-se a grande temática das obras em questão, e pode ser entendida como uma realidade social conflitiva e tensa, que se quer transformada This thesis aims to take a reading of the works I know why the caged bird sings(1969),Gather together in my name(1974) by Maya Angelou, Bitita´s Diary(1982) and Child of the Dark(1982) by Carolina Maria de Jesus revealing autobiographical writing as a form of expression that not only brings up precious stories about the difficulties faced by characters but also signaling the triple oppression experienced by black women. In fact the hierarchy of gender, race and class black drove black women to the border of events, often forging true facts, subduing and silencing the afrofemales voices. Accordingly, we demonstrate that oppression due to race, gender and social class influence the existential condition of the authors who through traumatic experiences have massacred their own identities. In order to rescue the lost identity and subjectivity, Carolina Maria de Jesus and Maya Angelou write and (re) construct a self that even fragmented by the vicissitudes of life is able to express their scream through writing. Above all, the intersectionality of oppressions becomes the major theme of the works in question, and can be understood as a confrontational and tense social reality that is either transformed

Abstract:

Les rites de passage, le mythe, le voyage heroique et initiatique, sont frequents dans la fiction carterienne. Differents genres litteraires (utopie, dystopie, "gothic", picaresque, sciencefiction, fantastique) permettent de les reactualiser et de les subvertir, mettant ainsi en evidence le contenu ideologique du mythe, au sens ou l'entend barthes. L'aventure des jeunes heros carteriens, conforme au schema initiatique traditionnel (separation, initiation, retour), se deroule dans des lieux predestines et symboliques. La monstruosite, physique aussi bien que psychologique, y est ordinaire. Elle illustre les rapports de pouvoir entre des etres jeunes face a des figures paternelles et maternelles terribles (tyrans, savants fous, chamans) d'une part, et de tres jeunes femmes et jeunes gens d'autre part. La domination de l'autre est au depart l'enjeu de ces rencontres ; elle passe par la violence, les abus sexuels, voire le cannibalisme. Au coeur de ces affrontements, qui constituent des rites de passage pour les heros, se trouve le probleme de la reconnaissance et de l'acceptation de l'alterite, en particulier la difference irreductible entre les sexes. Ideologie et mythologie se rejoignent lorsque le theme feministe de l'oppression de la femme par le patriarcat est presente comme parallele a celui de l'oppression des classes defavorisees par les puissants. Cependant, on note une evolution sensible au fil des romans : a la tentative initiale de soumettre l'autre, se substitue peu a peu la quete de sa propre identite. Apres l'attitude agressive et predatrice des heros des premiers romans, la decouverte de soi amene les suivants a l'acceptation de l'autre puis a une celebration joyeuse de la sensualite et de la vie. Cette tolerance nouvelle, en modifiant le regard des heros sur l'autre, elimine la menace qu'il represente. Avec la disparition de l'alterite monstrueuse survient la fin du motif herol que chez carter Rites of passage, myths, heroic and initiation journeys are common in carter's fiction. Several literary genres (utopia, dystopia, gothic, picaresque, science fiction, fantastic) help carter to update and subvert those themes, thus highlighting the ideological content of myth, as defined by barthes. The adventures of carter's young heroes follow traditional initiation patterns (separation, initiation, return) and take place in predictable symbolical places. Physical and psychological monsters abound. Monsters illustrate relations of power between adolescents and terrible mother and father figures on the one hand, and between young men and women on the other hand. Dominating the other is the main issue in these meetings ; it involes violent behaviour, sexual abuse, occasionally cannibalism. Such confrontations are also rites of passage for carter's heroes, where what is really at stake is acknowledging and accepting otherness, especially the radical difference between the sexes. Ideology and mythology finally merge when the feminist issue of the oppression of women in patriarchal societies parallells the oppression of the poor by those in power. Yet, there is a marked evolution over the years. Carter's early heroes' attempts to dominate and destroy the other gradually evolve, turning into a quest for one's own identity. After the predatory and aggressive heroes of her first novels, discovering oneself becomes the priority of later ones, which helps them to accept the other and culminates in a joyful sensuous celebration of life. This new tolerance changes the way carter's heroes see the other and eliminates the potential threat of otherness. As others are not seen as monsters any more, the heroic pattern is later abandoned in carter's fiction

Entre as minorias femininas que despontaram nesse cenário de articulação, as mulheres negras, com sua escrita engajada e muitas vezes marcada pela autorrepresentação, buscam se inserir no espaço acadêmico e conquistar o reconhecimento de sua obra literária. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende fazer uma reflexão crítica sobre a narrativa de memórias das escritoras negras Carolina Maria de Jesus e Maya Angelou, em suas respectivas obras: Diário de Bitita e I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Para tanto, levantamos questões relevantes do enredo e enfocamos o trajeto singular das protagonistas negras rumo à conscientização de uma realidade construída em torno das desigualdades de poder. Deste modo, num primeiro momento, refletimos sobre a condição dos afrodescendentes e sublinhamos a situação da mulher negra durante e depois do período escravocrata. Na sequência tratamos da questão da literatura confessional direcionando seu enfoque para as formas diário e memória, a fim de evidenciar suas congruências e diferenças no universo confessional. Por fim, empreendemos um trabalho de análise das obras, em que salientamos pontos importantes e discutimos as trajetórias de cada personagem rumo à autoaceitação. The intellectual production of feminism questioned the representations and social roles of gender and contributed to an evolution of a critical perspective towards the oppression suffered by women. Among the minorities that emerged in this scenery of articulation, the black women with an engaged writing, and also marked many times by self- representation try to put themselves in the academic space and have the recognition of their work as well. In this sense, this work intends to make a critical reflection about the memoirs of the black writers Carolina Maria de Jesus and Maya Angelou, in their respective books: Diário de Bitita and I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. For that we raised questions concerning the plot and emphasize the black protagonists´ peculiar course towards awareness of a reality built around unequal powers. So, we first consider the black people condition and underline the black women situation before and during slavery time. Secondly, we talk about the confessional literature focalizing the diary and memoir forms in order to make evident their similarities and differences in the confessional universe. At last we attempt to a work of analysis of the books where we point out important items and discuss the characters´ course towards self-acceptance.

Our main purpose is to contribute to studies on children’s literature’s theory and criticism, pointing out how the authors broaden up the interpretative potential for their picture-books, in its materiality and visuality, by exploring the use of the codex’s borders as structures for pictorial narratives. In addition to the theory focused on the specific critics of literature for children and young adults (Sarah Dowhower, Maria Nikolajeva, Sophie Van der Linden, Maria José Palo) and the studies on the book as an art form (Julio Plaza, Johanna Drucker, Maria do Carmo de Freitas Veneroso, Paulo Silveira), bibliographies on the concepts of the binding fold dialectics (Michel Melot) and the threshold (Walter Benjamin, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Georges Didi-Huberman) are also mobilized. This passage from literary criticism to the artistic philosophy about the book as an object, culminating in the interdisciplinarity of literature and art criticism, aims to re-present and re-know this artistic phenomenon, the picture-book, in the potential of its hybridity, occupying a threshold space between artist’s books and children’s books A presente dissertação visa refletir sobre a margem que narra nas obras Sombra (2010), da sul-coreana Suzy Lee, e O cântico dos cânticos (1992), da brasileira Angela Lago. O objetivo dessa abordagem é contribuir com os estudos em teoria e crítica de literatura infantil e juvenil, apontando como as autoras ampliam o potencial interpretativo dos livros-imagem, em sua materialidade e visualidade, ao explorar o uso das margens do códex como estruturadoras de narrativas pictóricas.

Esta passagem da crítica literária para a filosofia artística acerca do objeto livro, culminando na interdisciplinaridade da literatura e crítica de arte, tem como meta re-apresentar e re-conhecer este fenômeno artístico, o livro-imagem, na potência de sua hibridez, ocupando espaço liminar entre os livros de artista e os livros infantis

Full text

Abstract:

Cette étude est une approche idéologique de la question indienne en Amérique latine, en général, et au Guatemala, en particulier, du point de vue de l'auteur qui aborde la question selon une conception matérialiste de l'histoire. L'auteur, en effet, part d'une analyse profonde de la structure socio-économique du Guatemala, mettant en évidence les contradictions fondamentales qui la caractérisent sur le double plan national et international. Celles-ci se définissent en termes de colonialismes interne et externe qui supposent des relations de domination et d'exploitation qui constituent, en définitive, la problématique essentielle de la société guatémaltèque. En posant au centre de celle-ci le problème économique qui affecte toute la nation par-dessus ses composantes ethniques, Asturias analyse principalement les causes du malaise social guatémaltèque, ce qui l'amène naturellement à dénoncer l'exploitation féroce des monopoles étrangers opérant sur le territoire national et, partant, à démystifier la nature des relations qui lient les différents groupes sociaux dans cette structure particulièrement complexe. Ainsi il arrive à démontrer objectivement la source du mal ou les causes fondamentales du problème indien intimement lié à la problématique sociale guatémaltèque. Ce diagnostic rigoureux de la problématique sociale guatémaltèque l'amène conséquemment à proposer une thérapeutique adéquate aux maux qui accablent la société toute entière et principalement les classes défavorisées. De la toute son œuvre- les romans de la trilogie bananière particulièrement - se révèle comme un véritable réquisitoire anti-impérialiste, réclamant vivement la souveraineté nationale bafouée et l'indépendance économique réelle de laquelle dépend inconditionnellement la solution du problème national et, par conséquent, celle de l'éternel problème indien. Mais l'intérêt du discours asturien et son originalité également résident fondamentalement dans le fait que s'inspirant de la réalité socio-économique du Guatemala, il arrive à démystifier le problème indien, en démontrant par des faits concrets que le problème de l'indien n'est pas de race ou de culture comme on l'a si souvent prétendu, mais simplement de classe, et donc économique.

Abstract:

In this dissertation, I argue that Douglas Sirk was attempting to dissolve the boundaries of the cinematic medium by assimilating elements of avant-garde art, architecture and design into the colour, composition and settings of many of his most popular studio produced films. While the exaggerated artifice of this director�s formal style has often been remarked upon, it has yet to be interpreted in the light of his detailed cognisance of the major art and architectural movements of the period, which include German Expressionist painting and Machine Age Modernist design. This is a lacuna that my thesis should at least partially fill, since I have shown that Sirk�s highly self conscious visual approach was deeply influenced by the artistic debates that were taking place in Europe during the 1920s and �30s and in America after World War II. To my mind, there is no doubt that this director�s syncretic mise-en-scène was the result of an interdisciplinary, transnational dialogue, and I have sought to illuminate some of the social, philosophical and political meanings that it seems to convey.

Abstract:

Dans un contexte de saturation des réseaux de circulation liée à l'accélération de l'urbanisation, le but de cette recherche est d’alimenter le débat scienti8ique sur les réponses à apporter à cet enjeu social par l’étude des comportements de régulation des distances physiques entre les piétons dans les lieux publics. La composante urbaine de la théorie de la proxémie d'Edward T. Hall est prise comme inspiration liminaire. Celle-ci soutient qu'il existe une corrélation entre l'organisation de l'espace macro de la Société et celui micro des comportements individuels. Elle conduit Hall à une distinction entre « cultures du contact » et du « non – contact », les premières préférant une plus grande proximité physique entre les corps. Toutefois, la différenciation des aires culturelles de Hall (par exemple : « monde arabe »= « culture du contact ») n'apparaît plus pertinente à l'ère de la mondialisation urbaine.Une nouvelle théorie « micromacro », fondée sur 4 macro-orientations susceptibles d'avoir une influence sur les comportements, est alors proposée : égalité entre citadins, individualisation, urbanité relative et régulation de l'urbanisme. Deux autres appréciations de l’existence d’une corrélation scalaire entre des niveaux de description des relations spatiales sont également testées. L'une, appelée « micromeso », s’inspire de la théorie des « sites comportementaux » de Roger Barker. Elle considère que les comportements proxémiques sont corrélés avec des unités intermédiaires définies par un lieu et une heure spécifiques telles que «le métro à l'heure de pointe». L'autre théorie,appelée « micro », affirme que toute forme de corrélation scalaire est une erreur écologique.Delhi, Los Angeles, Paris et Tokyo, qui répondent différemment aux macro-orientations de la théorie micromacro sont prises comme terrains d’étude. Les comportements à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur du métro de chacune de ces aires métropolitaines sont observés (théorie micromeso). Dans ces deux conditions, des niveaux similaires d’enjeu spatial sont étudiés (théorie micro). Les résultats amènent à conclure que les relations de circulation sont mieux décrites par ordre d'efficacité lorsqu'on les considère cumulativement comme micro > micromeso >micromacro. Je défends alors la thèse selon laquelle les sociétés devraient débattre des améliorations des microconditions des relations de circulation plutôt que de se concentrer sur les explications micromacro et micromeso des dysfonctionnements de celles-ci, qui peuvent par exemple être identifiées dans la mise en compétition des individus autour du thème de la civilité In a context of traf8ic networks saturation related to urbanisation acceleration, thisresearch is aimed at contributing to the scienti8ic debate on this issue by building a model to describe dynamic pedestrians’ physical distances regulation behaviours in public places.The urban dimension of Edward T. Hall’s theory of proxemics is taken as an initial inspiration. This author argues that a correlation exists between the organisation of space at the macro level of Society and the micro level of individual behaviours. It leads him to a synthetic distinction between ‘contact cultures’ and ‘non-contact cultures’. The former tends to prefer smaller distances at all scales of space organisation compared to the latter.This hypothesis is considered seriously in the research. Nonetheless, Hall’s macroculturalist anthropological area distinction (e.g.: the ‘Arab World’ = ‘contact culture’) isnot relevant anymore in the urban globalization era. Therefore, a new ‘micromacro’theory, based on 4 macro orientations expected to have an influence on micro behaviours,is proposed: equality between urban citizens, individualisation, relative urbanity and urban planning regulation.Two other scalar correlation theories of spatial relations description are also tested. One,called ‘micromeso’, is based on Roger Barker’s behaviour setting theory. It states thatproxemical behaviours are correlated with intermediate units related to a specific placeand time such as ‘the subway at peak hours’. The other theory, called ‘micro’, states thatany form of scalar correlation is an ecological fallacy. Accordingly, the description processhas to remain at the very level of physical distance relations between individuals.These different theories are tested empirically in Delhi, Los Angeles, Paris and Tokyowhich all answer differently to the macro orientations of the micromacro theory. Behaviours inside the metro and outside of it are observed (micromeso theory). In each condition, similar levels of spatial competition for places are taken into consideration (micro theory).The results lead to conclude that traffic relations between pedestrians are best describedwhen considered cumulatively as micro > micromeso > micromacro by order of efficiency. Eventually, I defend the thesis that urban dwellers should debate of traffic relationshipsmicro conditions improvements rather than focusing on micromacro and micromeso explanations of the networks breakdowns which can be found for instance in the competition promoted between individuals on civil behaviours
