Les études criminologiques qui ont trait à l’articulation entre sexualité(s) et détention sont rares. Celles qui portent sur les expériences de détenus homosexuels sont pratiquement inexistantes. Cette recherche exploratoire, basée sur la réalisation d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès d’ex-détenus homosexuels incarcérés dans des pénitenciers et prisons situées au Québec, vise à combler une partie de cet espace. En analysant les récits de leur passage en institution carcérale, nous interrogeons leurs conceptions des notions d’identités et d’orientations sexuelles. Il en ressort notamment que l’homosexualité prend une place variable dans la définition qu’ils donnent d’eux-mêmes. L’impact de l’environnement dans l’actualisation et la mise au jour de certaines facettes identitaires est également pris en compte, de même que leur perception de la tolérance et de l’acceptabilité de l’homosexualité en contexte carcéral. Pour eux, bien que l’homophobie soit rare, elle ne peut être conceptualisée séparément des notions de « masculinité » et de « visibilité ».

<p> This research generates an alchemical hermeneutic analysis of four archetypes as found in certain ancient Egyptian texts and the contemporary dream text <i> Heart of the Inner Chamber</i>, the landscape of which is the &ldquo;world&rsquo;s geography of love.&rdquo; As symbols of transformation, these four archetypal energies are essential reagents in the dramatic process of individuation, as understood in the depth psychological tradition. These archetypes are (a) the triptych of disintegration-death-resurrection, (b) the dying heroic masculine, (c) the feminine incorporatio (who incorporates the corrupt and dying heroic masculine into her body), and (d) love as the glutinum mundi (glue of the world). Certain ancient Egyptian ritual and mythic texts describe the sungod Re undergoing a recursive renewal of his life-giving force, which is facilitated by the love and ministrations of particular feminine figures. One such figure is the ancient Egyptian sky goddess Nut, a personification of both realms of heaven and netherworld, who swallows the failing Re at sunset, and in whose body the mysterious processes of his regeneration take place so he may be reborn at dawn. A Nut like figure appears in <i>Heart of the Inner Chamber </i> linking the psyche of the dreamer to symbols of transformation from ancient Egypt. </p><p> As symbols of transformation, love as the glutinum mundi and the feminine incorporatio are not well articulated in the field of depth psychology, and particularly so regarding individuation. This research deepens the articulation of the archetypes of love as the glutinum mundi and the feminine incorporatio. As well the research invites a deeper valuation of a conscious engagement with these symbols of transformation, especially as they may serve us when we find ourselves in those ineffable and inevitable, chaotic, shadowy, and emotionally confounding places of being where we feel that we are dying or dead and hope for the miracle of our transformation and rebirth. </p>

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>This research proposes a reception study over masculinity representations in Brazilian advertisements transmitted over free-to-air television and its role in distinct class men's gender identity formation. We did align to the Cultural Studies strand, especially, to Jesús Martín-Barbero's Latin American theoretical and methodological mediation perspectives. Still in theoretical terms we do emphasize on the discussions referring to male gender's social construction and, in a complementary way, on the articulation with the contemporary notion of social class. Methodologically, we did perform a reception study with 10 different age, civil state and profession men, who do reside in Santa Maria, classified as high and popular classes by Quadros and Antunes' definition (2001). The data collection techniques used in this study were the questionnaire, which consisted of a pilot study with 40 instruments, and a semi structured in depth interview. Besides that, for the reception exam over the masculine gender we did mark out a corpus of advertisements (beer, car, technology, bank and clothing/hygiene products) defined by the results of the questionnaires and used as responsible support to stimulate debate with the receptors. We did analyze the mediations of sociality, rituality and tecnicity (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 2006) in the advertising speech's appropriation relations (negotiation or resistance) concerning to the masculinity representations, defined by beauty, sexuality, work and family categories. As a result of this work, the advertising shows up as an important source of patterns and references to contemporary subjects to live the masculinity; at the same way contributing to the relativization of the traditional masculine pattern, related to machism and patriarchy that hegemonically vigorates until a few decades ago. At last, the construction of gender identities based on beauty, sexuality, work and family, from the readings and the ways of using the advertising speech is made in a differenced way by the cleavages of social classes.<br>A presente pesquisa propõe um estudo de recepção das representações sobre a masculinidade nos anúncios publicitários brasileiros veiculados na televisão aberta e o seu papel na formação da identidade de gênero de homens pertencentes a classes distintas. Alinhamo-nos à vertente dos estudos culturais, especialmente, à perspectiva teórico-metodológica latino-americana das mediações de Jesús Martín- Barbero. Ainda em termos teóricos, nossa ênfase está centrada nas discussões referentes à construção social do gênero masculino e, de forma complementar, na articulação com a noção contemporânea de classe social. Metodologicamente, realizamos um estudo de recepção com dez homens residentes em Santa Maria/RS com idades, estado civil, profissões variadas e classificados, a partir da definição de Quadros e Antunes (2001), em classes populares e altas. As técnicas de coletas de dados empregadas neste estudo foram o questionário, que se caracterizou com um estudo piloto com quarenta instrumentos, e a entrevista semiestruturada em profundidade. Além disso, para o exame da recepção sobre o gênero masculino delimitamos um corpus de anúncios publicitários (cerveja, carro, tecnologia, banco, tecnologia e vestuário/produtos de higiene), definidos com base nos resultados dos questionários e usados como suportes responsáveis para o estímulo do debate com os receptores. Analisamos as mediações da socialidade, ritualidade e tecnicidade (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 2006) nas relações de apropriação (negociação ou resistência) do discurso publicitário no que diz respeito às representações de masculinidade, aqui, definida pelas categorias de beleza, sexualidade, trabalho e família. Como resultado deste trabalho, a publicidade aparece como uma importante fonte de padrões e referências para que os sujeitos contemporâneos vivenciem a masculinidade; da mesma forma que contribui, inclusive, para a relativização do padrão masculino tradicional, relacionado ao machismo e ao patriarcado, que vigorou hegemônico até poucas décadas atrás. Por fim, a construção das identidades de gênero baseada na beleza, na sexualidade, no trabalho e na família, a partir das leituras e dos modos de usos do discurso publicitário, é feita de forma diferenciada a partir das clivagens de classes sociais.

It aims at discussing whether man s fashion through the images developed for this magazine points at transformations in the behavior of men or maintains conservative traits that restrict novelties in men s outfits and behavior. The magazine chosen Arena Homme Plus is one of the few magazines worldwide that is exclusively geared towards men s fashion. This British publication features major designers from Europe and the United States and circulates worldwide showing the work of designers, photographers, producers thus influencing the fashion industry and consumers. This study starts by focusing on the early days of fashion photography in the 1920s when photographs begin to replace illustration. It points out that a journalistic production geared to the male public had been around since the 19th century and included from men s magazines with essays of female nudes to our object of study: men s fashion magazines. The study focuses on the photo essays, the fashion editorials, of these issues published in the late 1990s and beginning of the third millennium and on the content revealed through the eyes of major contemporary photographs and though the choices made by fashion professionals during the production stage. Fashion editorials account for most of the content of Arena Homme Plus and each issue may include up to six of them, with an average of forty photographs. The editorials were chosen according to their relevance to discuss the hero, investigating the different faces of man at the turn of the millennium. The theoretical framework includes the concepts of imprinting, imaginary and noosphere as developed by Edgard Morin. The analysis is based on the theoretical framework provided by semiotics as applied to the field of culture, specifically to fashion. The study concludes that the image of man has been shattered into myriad variations so that it is no longer possible to try to think of the masculine as a single segment, something that vanguard fashion magazines, such as Arena Homme Plus, have long recognized<br>O objetivo deste estudo é analisar como os editoriais de moda refletem a imagem do homem no final do século XX e início do XXI, discutindo como se dá a relação moda versus o herói no universo masculino. A intenção é discutir se a moda masculina através das imagens elaboradas para esta publicação aponta transformações no comportamento do masculino e se ainda preserva traços conservadores, restritivos às novidades nos trajes e no comportamento do homem. A revista escolhida Arena Homme Plus é uma das únicas publicações do mundo dedicada exclusivamente à moda masculina. Esta publicação inglesa, que abrange as grandes grifes da Europa e dos Estados Unidos, circula em todo o mundo apresentando trabalhos de estilistas, fotógrafos, produtores, influenciando a indústria da moda e seus consumidores. O presente estudo parte dos primórdios da fotografia de moda, quando, por volta dos anos 20, fotos começam a substituir croquis. A pesquisa aponta o jornalismo voltado ao masculino desde o século XIX, passando pelas revistas masculinas com ensaios de nus femininos até chegarmos ao nosso objetivo maior: as revistas de moda masculina dos últimos anos da década de 1990 e do início deste terceiro milênio. Nessas publicações o foco está nos ensaios fotográficos, como eles revelam os principais fotógrafos contemporâneos e como são produzidos pelos profi ssionais de moda. Os editoriais de moda representam o maior conteúdo da revista Arena Homme Plus e cada edição pode trazer até seis, o que representa em média quarenta fotos. Os editoriais escolhidos são os mais significativos para a discussão do herói, pesquisando as diversas faces do homem nesta virada de milênio. O instrumental teórico utiliza os conceitos de imprinting, imaginário e noosfera, de Edgar Morin. A base teórica da análise segue a linha da semiótica no campo de discussão sobre a cultura, mais especificamente sobre a moda. Conclui-se que a imagem do homem se estilhaçou numa palheta de grandes variações e que não há como tentar resumir o masculino como um único segmento, o que as revistas de moda de vanguarda, como a Arena Homme Plus, já não considera há tempos

Au Mali, les femmes rurales constituent des actrices incontournables dans la production agricole, secteur sur lequel repose l’économie du pays. Pour un développement inclusif, et partant de la logique que l’autonomisation économique des femmes entrainerait leur empowerment, les centres d’autopromotion ont été mis en place par le gouvernement malien et ses partenaires dans les cercles et les communes afin de mieux promouvoir les femmes rurales. Cette étude a pour objectif de vérifier cette prémisse en saisissant les changements au niveau de l’empowerment des femmes occasionnés par les activités d’autonomisation économique au sein des centres d’autopromotion de l’association Musow jigitugu-ton de Toubacoro et de l’union Si yiriwa de Dioïla. Sur la base d’une démarche qualitative, des entrevues individuelles et des focus group ont été réalisés avec 31 femmes, 1 gestionnaire et 10 responsables des structures partenaires. Les résultats ont montré que les activités des centres favorisent l’autonomisation économique des femmes membres, cependant, des efforts restent à fournir pour une gestion autonome des revenus générés par les femmes afin de mieux maintenir leur autopromotion. Les résultats ont également permis de montrer que l’autonomisation économique est un vecteur de l’empowerment des femmes rurales. Toutefois, ce processus reste très affecté par la domination masculine encore profondément intégrée par les femmes. On retient aussi que les approches des partenaires sont défaillantes et que des mesures doivent être entreprises pour une meilleure intégration du genre dans toutes les actions si l’on veut que les centres d’autopromotion remplissent bien leurs rôles. Mots-clés : autonomisation économique des femmes, empowerment des femmes, centre d’autopromotion, femmes rurales, domination masculine.<br>Rural women in Mali are essential actors in agriculture, which is the most important field of the country’s economy. To promote inclusive development and women’s economic empowerment, the Malian government and local municipalities have set “self-promotion centers” to promote rural women empowerment. This study examines the self-promotion centers of the association "Musow jigitugu-ton" of Toubacoro and the union "Si yiriwa" of Dioïla. The main objective of the study is to investigate the impact of economic empowerment activities in women's empowerment. Using a qualitative approach, individual interviews and focus groups were carried out with 31 women, 1 manager and 10 managers of the partner organisations. The results indicate that activities of the centers improved women economic empowerment who are members, but efforts are still needed to manage the income generated by women in order to maintain their self-promotion. The results also show that economic empowerment is a vehicle for the empowerment of rural women. However, this process is still very much affected by the male dominance deeply integrated by women. Partners' approaches are failing in this regard and some measures must be taken to integrate gender approach in all actions if self-promotion centers are to fulfill their roles. Keywords: women economic empowerment, women empowerment, self-promotion center, rural women, male dominance.

Jag har ägnat denna uppsats åt att undersöka Kungliga Konstakademiens elevtidning Palettskrap från och med att det grundades 1877 till och med 1904.Tidningen består av anteckningar, protokoll och en mängd med bilder såsom porträtt, illustrationer och skämtteckningar. Mitt syfte har varit att se hur konflikten kring kvinnorollen generellt och kvinnliga konstnärsrollen specifikt kommer till uttryck under det sena 1800-talet i en intern elevtidning som Palettskrap. Jag har huvudsakligen utfört bildanalyser men även lyft fram text ur Palettskrap som har varit relevant för mitt ämne. Jag har analyserat bildernas uttryck och bildbudskap utifrån Roland Barthes semiotiska metod. För en genusmedveten och kritisk blick på det konsthistoriska sammanhanget, har jag har tillämpat ett feministiskt perspektiv som varit verktyg för att dekonstruera den maskulina myten om modernismen och konstnären. Min undersökning visar att det finns två etablerade stereotyper/kategorier av den kvinnliga konstnären: den ”okvinnliga” konstnären och ”amatören”. Dessa två stereotyper återspeglar den borgerliga synen på kvinnlighet/femininitet som oförenlig med konstnärsrollen.<br>I have dedicated this essay in researching the journal Palettskrap founded by students at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in 1877. Palettskrap consists of notes, protocols and a variety of images such as portraits, illustrations and satirical cartoons. My purpose has specifically been to see how the conflict of the woman artist is articulated during the late 1800's in a student journal such as Palettskrap, and also more generally, how the woman's role in society is articulated. I have primarily analyzed images but I have also exposed text from Palettskrap which has been relevant to my subject matter. By using Roland Barthes' semiotics, I have analyzed the images' expression and message. For a gender-sensitive and critical eye on the art historical context, I have applied feminist theory which has been useful in deconstructing the masculine myth on modernism and ”the artist”. My research shows that there are two established stereotypes/categories of the woman artist: the ”unwomanly” artist and the ”amateur”. These two stereotypes reflect the bourgeois notions of womanhood/femininity as incompatible with the role of the artist.

The thesis attemps to map the current situation of the variance process in masculines ended with epicene consonants -s and -z. Based on the description of the situation presented in language guides approximately since 1950s and with the help of Retrográdní slovník současné češtiny, the authoress compiled a list of masculines with this type of ending and afterwards she verified each noun via corpus databáze ČNK syn2010. To komplete the corpus results the authoress used the questionary survey on selected nouns. From acquired data there was set together a summary which should describe the current situation of this variance in these nouns.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>外國語文學研究所<br>94<br>This thesis aims to investigate how masculine anxiety, the anxiety over the rise of racial and sexual others, is reflected in The Sun Also Rises and to analyze what strategies are used to rebuild white male supremacy. The first chapter draws socio-historical evidence to examine the factors that result in masculine anxiety in the 1920s, including mass immigration, the visibility of gay subculture, and the rise of New Woman. Critical attention is devoted to the representation of the Jewish character Robert Cohn, for he challenges the white men''s prerogatives in both social and sexual realms. Chapter Two discusses the representation of Brett Ashley and her relationships with the male characters by means of Freud''s theory of fetishism, Laura Mulvey''s concept of the male spectator as fetishist and the female spectacle as fetish, and Luce Irigaray''s observation of "the exchange of woman." Brett is relegated to a "phallic-mother fetish" and an object with exchange value that men can "have" in order to enhance their masculinities. The third chapter focuses on how Jake Barnes struggles to reconstruct his sense of control through working, spending, drinking, fishing, and bullfighting; even so, his endeavor can never lead him back to the state of masculine wholeness. It is hoped that by showing how white male supremacy is sustained through denigrating the non-white, non-heterosexual and fetishizing the woman, this thesis will reveal the "fragility" of white masculinity, pointing out that patriarchy is susceptible to subversions and must depend on the "marginal" to prove its validity.

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>應用外語系碩士班<br>99<br>The pilot study aims to explore young children‘s spontaneous responses to a sad-ending story, Tadpole’s Promise. Fifteen participants (eight females and seven males) aged eight to ten, chosen through the random sampling method, were recruited in this study. Two major instruments were adopted in this study: storytelling, and group-interview. All 15 participants’ responses toward the story and their interpretations were transcribed and analyzed for their understanding and attitude. There were three major findings from this study. First, young children have a stereo-typical expectation that every story should end with a good ending. Second, although love issues are not included in the elementary school education in Taiwan, young participants have a positive expectation toward love and marriage, and have a basic-clear understanding about the social patterns of falling in love and getting married. Third, different voices from two single-parent children prove that young children’s concepts were influenced greatly by their parents’ marital status and the public media. It is suggested that teachers could incorporate reader-response theory into a student-centered storytelling program and utilized post-modern stories to challenge students’ critical thinking. Further, the students’ creative responses can be elicited so to improve readers’ engagement in reading.

碩士<br>淡江大學<br>拉丁美洲研究所<br>83<br>The main business of democratic politics is the contest- ing of elections, which are the traditional means by which citizens exert political influence. Electoral systems are designed to define the rules of political competitions, they not only legitimitize the authority of elected candidates, but also influence the political systems, the party systems and the electoral systems of a nation. Douglas Rae, professor of political science at Yale University , has pointed out in his book, The Political Consequences of Electoral Laws, that most of the absolute majority of the seats in Congress are manufactured by the electoral systems instead of by the absolute majority of votes. Obviously, the electoral systems are the prime influence on political party systems. From the results of the 1988 and 1994 elections, the changes in Mexican electoral systems substantially help to bring about the expansion of power of Mexican opposition parties in Congress. The seats of the party in power in Congress are no longer the absolute majority. Moreover, the National Action Party (PAN), the second largest party, and the Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), the third largest party, have become the main concern of Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for maintaining one- party politics. This thesis attempts to approach the relationships among Mexican electoral systems, political systems and party systems from the theory of electoral systems. Furthermore, it predicts that Mexico will end one- party politics in the near future.
