Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the external and internal influences on the process of state formation in Oman since 1920 and places this process in comparative perspective with the other states of the Gulf Cooperation Council. It considers the extent to which the concepts of informal empire and collaboration are useful in analysing the relationship between Oman, Britain and the United States. The theoretical framework is the historical materialist paradigm of International Relations. State formation in Oman since 1920 is examined in a historical narrative structured by three themes: (1) the international context of Western involvement, (2) the development of Western strategic interests in Oman and (3) their economic, social and political impact on Oman. The incorporation of the Arabian littoral into the security sphere of the British empire in India separated the Imamate in the mountainous interior of Oman from the British-backed Sultans in Muscat. This culminated in the Treaty of Sib in 1920 following which the government of the Sultanate was restructured by British officials. The discovery of oil in Bahrain in 1932 marked a new phase in the incorporation of the Arabian peninsula into the capitalist world-system. In south-east Arabia this led to the occupation of the interior in 1955 by the British-supported forces of Sa'id bin Taimur. The coup of 1970 in which Qabus became Sultan allowed the development of a pro-Western rentier state and the defeat of the rebels in Dhofar. British imperial withdrawal from the region was completed with the relinquishment of its bases in the Sultanate of Oman in 1977. The development of a strategic relationship between Oman and the United States in the 1980s enhanced American military deployment during the Kuwait crisis of 1990-1991. In the aftermath of this conflict Oman faces the challenge of political development in an environment of diminishing oil reserves.

Full textAbstract:
Mountain building is the result of large compressional forces in the Earth’s crust where two tectonic plates collide. This is why mountains only form at plate boundaries, of which the Al Hajar Mountains in Oman and the United Arab Emirates is thought to be an example of. These mountains have formed near the Arabian–Eurasian convergent plate boundary where continental collision began by 30 Ma at the earliest. However, the time at which the Al Hajar Mountains developed is less well constrained. Therefore, the timing of both the growth of the mountains, and the Arabian–Eurasian collision, needs to be understood first to be able to identify a correlation. Following this a causal link can be determined. Here we show, using apatite fission track and apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He dating, as well as stratigraphic constraints, that the Al Hajar Mountains were uplifted from 45 Ma to 15 Ma. We found that the mountains developed 33 Myr to 10 Myr earlier than the Arabian–Eurasian plate collision. Furthermore, the plate collision is ongoing, but the Al Hajar Mountains are tectonically quiescent. Our results indicate that the uplift of the Al Hajar Mountains cannot be correlated in time to the Arabian–Eurasian collision. Therefore the Al Hajar Mountains are not the result of this converging plate boundary.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertdtion examines British Foreign Policy toward the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman, 1954-1959. The theoretical framework is clientelism. The patron-client relationship develops over a lengthy period. The Anglo-Omani relationship was uninterrupted from the 1600s through the subject period. and British efforts to later in Kuwait achieve included their the interests in establishment India and maintenance of the Al Bu Said family as Oman's hereditary monarchs. Britain signed anti-slave trade treaties with Oman in the nineteenth century to eliminate it as a regional economic threat; and separated the wealthy Zanzibar dominions from the control of Muscat's leadership. This "divide-and-rule" policy resulted in both Oman and Zanzibar becoming dependent on Britain. The 1913-1920 disturbance between the Sultan and shaikhs from the country's interior led to the British mediated Agreement of ai-Sib. The record shows that the events were different than what had been portrayed in various memoirs. Said ibn Taimur. the British educated Sultan, wanted political reunification of the interior with the coastal plains under his leadership. This was accomplished by the Sultan's forces with minimal opposition when the Imam died in 1954. The rebel leadership returned in 1956 with Saudi Arabian trained and armed troops. The rebels were defeated but the Sultan needed British military support. Britain's disproportionate response to the limited and localized opposition necessitated the rapid cover-up of damage to the interior's vii lages. The patron-client relationship strained almost to the breaking point. The British wanted to "cover-up" the damage they had wrought; the Sultan wanted to enhance his military capacity and to withdraw from the protective but overbearing relationship with Great Britain. The official records for the period are used extensively. For the first time, an academic work that discusses the events of the last half of the 1950's does not rely on personal interviews.

Full textAbstract:
Informal relations between American merchant traders and the Sultanate of Oman in the port of Zanzibar began with the landing of the first American merchants about 1828. At the same approximate time, Sultan Said bin Sultan moved his official residence from Muscat, Oman, to Zanzibar, underlining the importance of Zanzibar to the administration of his territories on the East African coast. Relations were formalized by the Treaty of 1833 between the United States and Oman, and the U.S. established a consular mission in Zanzibar in 1837 and in Muscat in 1838.
The growth of the Omani Empire under Sultan Said expanded and prospered during the period examined in the present research (1828-1856). Oman's growth and prosperity, resulting primarily from its possession of Zanzibar and ports on the East African coast, roughly parallels the expansion and prosperity of the Zanzibar trade to American merchant traders. After Said's death, the Omani Empire was divided in a bitter succession battle (abetted by the British, who enjoyed military dominance in the region), and this point marked the beginning of the decline of the Oman as a regional economic and political power.
The present study surveys these two parallel developments over the critical 28-year reign of Sultan Said. The survey finds that, as with much economic development in the "third world" in the nineteenth century, Oman's enormous growth and prosperity during this period was directly linked to the growth and prosperity of commercial interests of a "developed" Western nation (in Oman's case, the United States). The study found that political developments between the two countries followed, and were informed and directed by, commercial developments. America's first three consuls to the Sultanate of Oman in Zanzibar were New England merchant traders more focused on their own commercial interests than on political concerns. That both parties (American traders and the Omani government) ultimately prospered is testimony to the complementary nature of their respective economic goals and foreign policy objectives.

Full textAbstract:
Five outcrop sections (Wadi Mi'aidin, Wadi Bani Kharus, Jebel Madar, Jebel Madamar and Jebel Salak), exposing Thamama and Wasia Group sediments were sedimentologically logged and sampled. Thin sections of each of the Thamama Group samples were prepared for micropalaeontological and microfacies analysis. The foraminifera, calcareous algae and calpionellids in each sample were recorded in order to provide a means of biostratigraphic subdivision, and together with microfacies analysis and sedimentological observations made in the field, provide a means of elucidating the depositional environments of the Thamama Group in the study area. Correlation between outcrop sections has been attempted using a biozonation scheme developed in the course of this project, and also by graphic correlation techniques. The taxonomy of 39 genera including 56 species of key foraminifera, calcareous algae and calpionellids is reviewed in detail. A complete revision of Cretaceous Middle Eastern lithostratigraphic nomenclature is required. Some recommendations for such a revision are proposed. Within the Thamama Group, 13 biozones/subzones are recognised using the extinction and inception events for key taxa. Both biozonal correlation and graphic correlation demonstrate that most Thamama Group formations are diachronous and may also be condensed at some localities. Biostratigraphic studies demonstrate that in the Central Oman Mountains region the Thamama Group formations are of the following ages: The Rayda Formation is of Early Berriasian age. It possibly extends into the earliest Valanginian at some localities (eg. Wadi Bani Kharus). The Salil Formation is of Berriasian - Valanginian age, possibly Hauterivian in age in its upper part at some localities. The Habshan Formation is of Hauterivian age everywhere, with possible extension into the Late Valanginian in its IOWCT part The Lekhwair Formation is essentially of Hauterivian - Barremian age (often largely Hauterivian). The Kharaib Formation is of typically Late Barremian - Early Aptian age, whilst the Shuaiba Formation is of Early Aptian age. Thamama Group deposition took place on an initially downwarped carbonate ramp, prograding towards the Tethyan Ocean (towards the north and east). Offshore palaeowinds precluded the development of reefs, but an oolitic shoal was located at the margin of the ramp, at least during Hauterivian times.

Full textAbstract:
Children’s theatre exists along with other theatrical forms in the cultural life of the Sultanate of Oman. Despite the fact that Omani Children’s Theatre started its life at the beginning of the 1970s, many challenges and obstacles continue to face its ongoing development. A significant landmark in this development was the first Omani Children's Theatre Festival which took place in 2007, thirty-five years after the first Omani children’s play was produced in 1972. This festival represents a new era in the history of Omani theatre in general and the history of children’s theatre in particular.
This study investigates how Children’s Theatre in the Sultanate of Oman can become a viable and valued form of art for the future. It outlines the historical background and the present situation of Omani children’s theatre and, through discussions with interviewees, defines the obstacles it presently faces and suggests ways to overcome them. The study provides a clear vision for a strong children’s theatre culture in Oman and outlines recommendations for achieving this vision.
Presently, there is little written documentation about children’s theatre in Oman. This study provides the first comprehensive historical overview.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses early travel accounts (1838-1959), travelogues (1996-2001) and travel brochures (2001) to investigate the image of Oman and its people in British travel texts. Although there have been a number of imagery studies within the field of tourism over the last two decades, they have been recently criticised by Gallarza et al. (2002) for their lack of theoretical orientation. This thesis is intended to be a modest step in addressing this criticism by re-appraising Said's well known work on Orientalism (1978) and works that foreshadowed it, by testing their political, theoretical and polemical propositions against detailed evidence to be found in case study evidence derived from close analysis of English texts on one country; Oman. The thesis investigates the extent to which these texts confirm/disconfirm Said's predominantly critical evaluation of Western (particularly British and French) representations of the east through the construct he calls 'Orientalism'. Through exploration of the imagery attached to Oman, this analysis is intended to contribute to the wider "Othering" debate in suggesting how people of a developing country are defined and gendered by people from developed ones. The thesis, which is based on three genres of travel texts, suggests a much more complex picture of the mechanisms of representations than Said (1978) suggests, showing, for example, that each textual category (travel book, travelogue, and brochure) had its own distinguishing variations in terms of ideological perspective, mode of address and substantive content. For example, political and imperial discourses were widely present in early travel accounts, while, by contrast, travelogue and travel brochure data were more constituted by discourses of consumerism and commerce, with residual I'olitical and imperial traces either silenced, muted or reconstituted as forms of nostalgia, or a depoliticised, sometimes, aestheticised, historic heritage. Moreover, although some early accounts contain negative denotations and connotations relating to Oman and its people that would support Said's broadly critical deconstruction of "Orientalism" as an ideological mechanism of control and appropriation, all three media representations, historical travel texts included, were far from presenting a uniform, or even predominant construction of Oman and its people that would support Said's critique. In two contextual chapters, this thesis appraIses historical encounters between Omanis and Westerns with focus on the British and Omani relationship, and offers an overview ofthe development of tourism in Oman. On the methodological front, the study is unusual as an investigation that combines inductive with deductive approaches, quantitative content analysis with qualitative semiotic analysis. Content analysis was used to examine the images of Oman reproduced in the three media. The quantitative findings were analysed qualitatively by using semiotic analysis to explore and interpret the meanings behind the quantitative results.

Full textAbstract:
Green Operations Management (GOM) is becoming an increasingly important element in the strategic agenda of many enterprises. Its main aim is to enhance the ability of an enterprise to address stakeholder environmental concerns throughout the entire product life cycle (PLC). Earlier studies have recognized GOM as a useful tool to improve competitiveness (Zhang et al ., 2008; Sarkis et al., 2010) and business performance (Kassinis and Vafeas, 2006; Jacobs et al., 2010; Zhu et al., 2012) Over the last few decades, the role of environmental management in achieving sustainable economic development is attracting growing global attention both theoretically and empirically. GOM is particularly important for enhancing the attractiveness of manufacturing companies of less developed countries such as Oman, to be selected as a partner in the global supply chain network of multi-national companies. However, there is a lack of integrative empirical studies to link and simultaneously examine the interrelationships between environmental drivers, practices and performance of manufacturing firms in general and within the context of less developed countries in particular. Through a review of the GOM and strategic environmental management literature, several unexplored areas were identified which are related to: a) The need for empirical studies to conceptualise various types of environmental practices as complementary to each other. Complementarity of GOM practices refers here to the combined sum of the effects of different sets of GOM practices being greater together than individually. b) The need for empirical studies to examine the influence of two distinct groups of stakeholders (i.e. market and non-market stakeholders) on the adoption of GOM practices. c) The need for empirical studies to examine whether the relationship between stakeholder pressures and the adoption of GOM practices is mediated by an organisation’s internal capabilities such as the development of environmental cross-functional collaboration (CFC). CFC is here defined as the extent of intra-organisational collaboration, interaction and integration of various core functional areas within the firm on environmentally significant issues (Auh and Menguc, 2005). d) The need for empirical studies investigating whether this mediated effect of CFC holds across firms regardless of their size, level of pollution intensity and degree of international orientation. e) The need for empirical studies examining whether environmental performance is considered as a mediator on the relationships between GOM practices and organisational savings and spending, where organisational savings and spending respectively reflect the saving advantages and increase in overall spending resulting from the adoption of GOM practices. This research is explanatory, deductive in nature, and underpinned mainly by a quantitative research design that was supplemented by document analysis of environmental strategies and performance and some qualitative semi-structured interviews with managers of five Omani manufacturing firms. To achieve the objectives of this research, an integrated conceptual framework was developed and set of hypotheses were proposed. The analysis of the survey data collected from 138 Omani manufacturing firms was conducted using structural equation modelling. In this research, empirical support was found for most of the research hypotheses, generally revealing that pressures from both market and non-market stakeholders can influence the adoption of GOM practices and that adoption of GOM practices can influence organisational business benefits, spending and environmental performance. However, the relationship between the adoption of GOM practices and organisational business benefits was found to be further mediated by the level of environmental performance. Moreover, by integrating four distinct, yet interrelated sets, of environmental practices into a second order factor/construct called ‘collective GOM competency’, this research found empirical evidence for the superiority of the second order construct in explaining the relationships between the antecedents and consequences of the adoption of environmental practices. Furthermore, the mediation effect of CFC on the relationship between stakeholder pressures and the adoption of environmental practices was empirically confirmed. This mediation effect of CFC was found to be significantly stronger only for the case of highly internationalised firms compared to their counterparts. Hence, firm characteristics are not always considered as moderators on the relationship between CFC and the adoption of GOM practices. The findings of this study provide new directions for future research and new theoretical and practical insights in GOM practices in manufacturing firms.

Ranasinghe, Kethakie Piyumi. "Migrant identities and culture : the second-generation Sri Lankan experience in the Sultanate of Oman." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2015. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/6001/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis sets out to examine key aspects of the identity formation of the second-generation of Sri Lankan professional expatriate community in Oman. Brought up in a multicultural environment, the respondents of the current study live in a contradiction in terms of their identity. Sri Lankan youths found themselves excluded from both cultures. They found themselves challenging the stereotypes produced by the mainstream society within which they lived, while also demanding freedom from the taboos and customs followed by their parents. Therefore, the thesis sets out to discover the sense of in between-ness felt by the second-generation respondents that was generated through their encounters with family and multicultural society they inhabited. Although a myriad of variables are known to influence an individual’s identity, the current study focuses on the following factors, identified here as having an impact on second-generation migrant identity formation: the complex nature of migration, the resulting cultural encounters and intergenerational tensions that play a role in shaping and framing of migrant youth identities. The study discusses media exposure, in the form of international satellite TV programming in the Middle East, and its possible impacts on migrant identity formation. The study moves from a media-centric view of social development to a more society-centred view in which media are one part of a matrix of migrant youth identity formation. The findings on identity formation of this research are further explored by examining the two main types of identity: hybrid and cosmopolitan, identified within the research as pertinent in understanding the second generation of Sri Lankan youths’ identity formation. By exploring the intergenerational tensions and the occurrence of in between-ness in identities among second-generation of the Sri Lankan professional expatriates in Oman, it is the aim of this research to add to the general understanding of the dynamics integral to the process of identity construction of migrant youths.

La synthese des donnees gravimetriques collectees en oman depuis 1954, completee par de nombreuses campagnes d'acquisition dans les regions encore non-couvertes conduit a l'etablissement d'une base de donnees homogene couvrant tout le territoire omanais. La carte de l'anomalie de bouguer ainsi obtenue est interpretee en termes de structures regionales le long d'un profil 2d au centre de l'oman. Nous proposons alors un premier modele structural pour les ophiolites de masirah et la geometrie de la croute continentale au centre de l'oman. Localement, les anomalies gravimetriques sont interpretees avec les donnees sismiques et magnetiques afin de localiser des bassins sedimentaires presentant un interet petrolier. Puis, dans la seconde partie de ce travail, nous nous interessons a la chaine nord-omanaise. Sur la base des anomalies gravimetriques au nord de l'oman et dans les regions limitrophes, mais egalement des donnees sismiques d'origine petroliere, nous proposons une structure crustale actuelle pour cette region. Les donnees sismiques et gravimetriques permettent egalement d'estimer les differentes forces agissant sur la lithosphere arabique et liees a des processus de deformation actuels ou passes. Ces differentes forces sont appliquees sur une lithosphere arabique deformee de facon elastique, en deux episodes instantanes, durant l'obduction, et au tertiaire. Ces differents resultats permettent alors de proposer un evolution tectonique de la chaine nord-omanaise depuis pres de 100 ma, en domaine compressif, dans le cadre de la convergence arabie-eurasie.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has concentrated on one period of the historical relations which began over three centuries ago. Great Britain, or rather Englan~ during the 1620s when the Portuguese were still the lords of Muscat, was trying to explore the eastern coast of Oman. They made friends in the Masseera Island, but their relationship with the Portuguese was not a friendly one. They were welcome, indeed, by the local powers as rivals to the Portuguese in India and in Persia as well as in Oman. But despite the generosity of their help, they tried to strike a balance between the ambitions of the local powers and those of the Europeans. The English, for example, were reluctant to assist the Persian projects in Muscat against the Portuguese. In fact, if the Portuguese were expelled from there by the Persians, then it would be too difficult for the Omanis to occupy it. At the same time they offered evacuation for the wounded and the surrendered Portuguese garrison with their women and children. The English observed that, after all the people of South Persia and of Hunnuz, Arabs or Persians alike, revolted. against Shah Abbas and wanted. the Portuguese back, having discovered. them to be the lesser evil. English interest in Oman and the Persian Gulf during the seventeenth century seems to have been purely commercial. For example, during the sixteen thirties and forties stable relations with the Portuguese were maintained., partly no doubt a reflection of the marriage between their two royal families, but also because the English saw commercial value in establishing good relations with both the Omanis and the Portuguese. After the expulsion of the Portuguese, the English witnessed the establishment of the first known Omani sovereign in the modem world, and the establishment of an Omani Afro-Asian Empire. They established good relations with the Ya,aarribeh family; but for some reason they were reluctant to establish themselves in Muscat. Probably the Dutch were seen to be in a better position while the English were ~stracted. by civil war. But during the first half of the eighteenth century English policy seems to have changed, probably due to the struggle between various local and European powers which took the form of piratical activities on the seas, in which the Omani Ya,aaribeh took part. By the second half of the eighteenth century the English had witnessed the downfall of the Ya,aaribeh and Greater Oman, and the establishment of another dynasty in the interior of Oman under Albu Sa,eed with the Omani Coast in the Gulf ruled by EI-Qawaasem, highlighting the division of Oman. The English found it in their interest to support Ahmed bin Sa,eed in East Africa, against El-Mazaree,a, and to keep East Africa under the Yal-bu-Sa,eed rule. They found a mutual interest in challenging the Qawaasem of Rasel-khaymeh in the Gulf, and their allies the EI-Wahabyeen in Arabia., during the first half of the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
Las vanguardias en Chile aparecieron de manera luminosa con la “Generación del 38”. Este grupo a través de manifiestos, reuniones, escritos y disputas; aportó fuertemente al desarrollo literario del país. Las ideas y creaciones artísticas, fueron preeminentes por su poderosa originalidad, y años después, se vieron reflejadas en una literatura renovadora e inspiradora. El proceso de vanguardia en Chile, ha sido utilizado generalmente por los críticos como fuente histórico-cultural para la comprensión de posteriores poéticas, sin embargo, han sido excluyentes. ¿Quién recuerda a los creadores solitarios, intensos, muchas veces incomprensibles y con una clara inclinación creacionista? Luis Omar Cáceres (1904-1943) es un claro ejemplo, quizás el único seguidor creacionista chileno. Se hace necesario el estudio de este poeta, pues su misteriosa biografía, a igual que su poética vanguardista no han sido dilucidadas del todo. Existen muchos poetas que han escrito sobre la importancia de este autor y el rescate que debiera hacerse en torno a sus únicos quince poemas. Defensa del ídolo, se instala como un texto que puede ser comprendido también, como una creación literaria existencial que explicita los movimientos hermenéuticos de comprensión y construcción de una realidad poética vanguardista que el texto intenta apropiar. Imprescindible será entonces, explorar a través de su libro los factores que llevaron a este poeta a plantear una estética de este tipo. Previo al análisis interpretativo se hace ineludible revisar la época en que se generó esta apuesta poética, entendiendo que la generación del 38 estaba ávida del choque y la ruptura inherentes en la escritura y que a través de estos procesos de negación y ruptura, permitieron que la vanguardia acabara y superara la conciencia establecida dentro de una cultura tradicionalista en la poesía. Los objetivos del presente trabajo intentarán determinar dentro de una contextualización histórica y cultural, la renovación de la poesía de Omar Cáceres; tomando como base teórica la poética de Huidobro, la Generación del 38 y el ensayo de Miguel Gomes “Viaje al interior de la vanguardia: Defensa del ídolo de Omar Cáceres” para realizar un análisis interpretativo del libro Defensa del ídolo y de la figura de su autor; como búsqueda, rescate y reivindicación de una imagen olvidada del vanguardismo que se ofrece como modelo creacionista para la literatura chilena actual.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur le leiwah d’Arabie orientale, un rite de possession pratiqué par les Zunûj, une population de descendants d’esclaves originaires des côtes est-africaines. Durant les quatre dernières décennies, les institutions culturelles des États-nations d’Arabie orientale ont présenté la musique et la danse de ce rite comme une pratique festive sans lien avec la possession, participant ainsi à dissocier ce rite de l’histoire régionale et de la population qui le pratique. Cette thèse, qui combine l’étude de sources écrites et orales avec l’analyse de discours et une ethnographie fondée sur l’observation participante (11 rites leiwah au Sultanat d’Oman, dont 1 décrit en détail) montre que le leiwah ne peut se comprendre que par rapport à l’histoire et au statut initial d’esclaves des Zunûj. Dans un premier temps (chapitres 1 à 3), cette étude révèle la profondeur historique du leiwah et explore les différents processus ayant participé à l’invisibilité de sa pratique rituelle. Dans un deuxième temps (chapitre 4), elle montre en quoi les notions d'esprit de possession en vigueur dans cette population diffèrent de celles connues en Islam ainsi que dans la pratique du zâr, un autre rite de possession décrit dans la région depuis le XIXe siècle (mais aussi dans la corne de l’Afrique, en Égypte et en Iran). Enfin (chapitres 5 à 7), l’analyse de la mise en œuvre de la possession et de la musique dans le rite leiwah (interactions, protocole, structure) montre l’existence d’un complexe rituel qui interagit, depuis près d’un siècle, avec la norme culturelle et religieuse arabo-musulmane qui l’environneThis thesis focuses on the leiwah of Eastern Arabia, a rite of possession practiced by the Zunûj, a population of slave descendants from the coasts of East Africa.During the last four decades, the cultural institutions of Eastern Arabian nation-states have presented the music and the dance of the rite of possession as a festive practice unrelated to possession, and participated in dissociating this rite from the regional history and the population practicing it.This thesis, which combines the study of written and oral sources with discourse analysis and an ethnography based on participant observation (11 leiwah rites observed in the Sultanate of Oman, 1 described in detail) shows that the leiwah can be understood only in relation to the history and original slave status of the Zunûj.First (chapters 1 to 3), this study reveals the historical depth of the leiwah and explores the various processes contributing to the invisibility of its ritual practice. It then shows (chapter 4) how the notions of spirit of possession in this population differ from the ones known in Islam as well as in zâr, another rite of possession described since the 19th century in the area (and in the Horn of Africa, Egypt, and Iran). Finally (chapters 5 to 7), the analysis of the execution of possession and the music in the leiwah rite (interactions, protocol, structure) reveals the existence of a ritual complex that has been interacting, for almost a century, with the cultural and religious Arab-Muslim norm surrounding it

Full textAbstract:
La presse des pays arabes du Golfe n'a fait son apparition que pendant ce siècle. D'abord en Arabie Saoudite, au Koweit et au Bahrein avant la deuxième Guerre mondiale puis au Qatar, aux Emirats arabes unis et en Oman à partir des années soixante. Les quelques journaux paraissant avant la deuxième Guerre Mondiale ont été crées grâce à l'initiative des reformateurs et intellectuels autochtones. Leurs moyens modestes ont été compensés par l'enthousiasme de leurs responsables de rédaction et par la collaboration des écrivains bénévoles qui percevaient la presse en tant que mission. Ces journaux ont également servi d'école pour les journalistes futurs. Pendant les années cinquante les journaux tant privés qu'officiels et qu'institutionnels, se sont multipliés en Arabie Saoudite, au Koweit et au Bahrein. Un développement qui a coincidé avec l'accroissement des revenus pétroliers, le début de la phase de modernisation de la zone et la montée du nationalisme arabe. Dans ce contexte relativement instable, les journaux de ces trois pays, crées et édités par des journalistes autochtones, n'ont pas échappé aux répercussions de cette situation politico-économique. La presse du Koweit et du Barhein a du en subir les conséquences. Différente est la situation de la presse entre 1961 et 1981. Cette période où les Emirats sous contrôle britannique ont accédé à l'indépendance a vu naître les premiers journaux des Emirats Arabes Unis, du Qatar et d'Oman. Elle a vu également la multiplication des quotidiens en Arabie Saoudite et au Koweit. La presse est devenue une industrie et son essor a été facilité par l'accroissement de l'aide étatique. Par rapport à la période antérieure, c'est l'âge des journaux d'information. Cependant, l'un des handicaps majeurs reste la lenteur du processur de la professionnellation des journalistes autochtones.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à procéder à une analyse minutieuse de la transformation de la forme et du sens dans la traduction des Robâïât de Omar Khayyám, dans quatre importantes traductions – deux en anglais et deux en français, des XIXe et XXe siècles. Les traducteurs des traductions sélectionnées sont Edward FitzGerald, Arthur John Arberry, Jean-Baptiste Nicolas et Gilbert Lazard. Les traductions réalisées par ces traducteurs ont offert des possibilités d’investigation dans un cadre linguistique donné. En effet, on peut se demander si les traducteurs ont transformé la signification et la forme des quatrains perses. Si oui, quelles procédures ont-ils utilisées ? Plus précisément, comment les réseaux signifiants sous-jacents ont-ils été rendus par les plus importants traducteurs anglais et français des XIXe et XXe siècles ? Par ailleurs, il s’agira d’essayer d’évaluer la qualité de l’écriture dans la langue cible de chaque traduction. En somme, cette thèse cherche à comprendre si les traducteurs sont parvenus à saisir l’importance de la signification du sous-texte et l’élégance de la forme poétique des Robâïât. Cette thèse propose une application scientifique des concepts théoriques de différents chercheurs en traductologie, linguistique et littérature. Les théories dominantes utilisées dans la présente étude sont celles d’Antoine Berman, de Henri Meschonnic, Peter Newmark, Eugene Albert Nida, Susan Bassnett, Mona Baker, Geoffrey N. Leech, I.A. Richards, Roger T. Bell, George Lakoff, Mark Johnson, Michael Hanne, et Max Black. En outre, il doit être indiqué que cette thèse vise à créer un équilibre entre deux pôles de la traductologie, à savoir celui qui s’intéresse aux traductions orientées vers la langue cible et celui qui s’intéresse aux traductions orientées vers la langue source.La traduction des Robâïât dans les langues germaniques et romanes est un sujet digne d’intérêt et propice à la discussion. Cette recherche vise à montrer que l’étude des traductions des Robâïât pourrait contribuer à mettre en évidence les difficultés et même l’impossibilité qu’il y a à rendre certaines caractéristiques de l’original persan en anglais et en françaisThis thesis aims to carry out a meticulous analysis of the transformation of form and meaning in the rendition of the Rubáiyát in four significant 19th and 20th-century translations—two in English and two in French. The translators of the selected translations are Edward FitzGerald, Arthur John Arberry, Jean-Baptiste Nicolas, and Gilbert Lazard. The translations produced by these translators have offered opportunities of investigation within linguistic boundaries. In fact, one may wonder if the translators have transformed the meaning and the form of the Persian quatrains. If so, which procedures have they employed? More precisely, how are the underlying networks of signification rendered by the most significant English and French translators of the 19th and 20th centuries? Furthermore, what is the quality of the writing in the target language in each translation? On the whole, this thesis seeks to appreciate whether the translators have been successful in understanding the significance of the subtext and the elegance of the poetic form of the Rubáiyát.This dissertation provides its readers with a scientific application of the theoretical concepts of different theorists in translation studies, linguistics, and literature. The most salient theories employed in the present research are those of Antoine Berman, Henri Meschonnic, Peter Newmark, Eugene Albert Nida, Susan Bassnett, Mona Baker, Geoffrey N. Leech, I.A. Richards, Roger T. Bell, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, Michael Hanne, and Max Black. In addition, it must be indicated that this thesis sets out to create a balance between two poles in translation studies, i.e. target-oriented and source-oriented translations.The translation of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát into Germanic and Romance languages is an interesting and controversial subject to discuss. This research seeks to prove that the study of the translations of the Rubáiyát can contribute to highlighting the difficulties and the impossibilities of the rendition of certain issues from Persian into English or French

Full textAbstract:
Localisé sur l'île de Bahreïn, le tell de Qal'at al-Bahreïn fut un grand port occupant une position géographique stratégique, au milieu du Golfe persique, entre le Proche-Orient et le reste du continent asiatique. Grâce à cette position littorale, le site joua pendant plusieurs millénaires (du 3e millénaire avant J.-C., jusqu'au 17e siècle de notre ère), un important rôle commercial et maritime, entre la Mésopotamie, les côtes iraniennes et arabes, l'Oman, le sous-continent indien ou encore l'Extrême-Orient.Fouillé depuis près de soixante années, ce site d'habitat offre aux archéologues une stratigraphie exceptionnelle, unique dans la Péninsule arabique, qui s’étend du Dilmoun Ancien (c. 2200 av. J.-C.) jusqu’à la période islamique (c. 13e-16e siècle ap. J.-C.) et permet l’étude comparative des occupations successives du site. Au-delà de ce statut de référence régionale, Qal'at al-Bahreïn présente par ses monuments (résidentiels, administratifs, commerciaux, religieux et militaires) un véritable témoignage du développement historique de Dilmoun, culture la plus importante du Golfe antique.Les nombreux vestiges architecturaux sont associés à un matériel archéologique diversifié (céramique, métal, représentations figurées, inscriptions, sceaux, macrorestes végétaux et fauniques, incluant un grand nombre de restes de poissons). La présente étude porte sur les restes osseux de poissons exhumés lors des différentes campagnes de fouilles conduites par la mission archéologique française, de 1989 à 1996, puis de 2000 à 2004, complétés par les résultats obtenus lors des fouilles danoises, menées entre les années 50 à 70.Ce matériel osseux, abondant, et généralement bien conservé, est très bien stratifié, ce qui a permis une étude diachronique de cet échantillon.La détermination des os de poissons a permis de mettre en évidence un spectre constant de quatre familles tout au long de l’occupation du site : les Serranidae (mérous), les Carangidae (carangues), les Sparidae (sars) et les Lethrinidae (empereurs). Leur importance varie au sein de chaque occupation et il est alors intéressant de noter la corrélation entre les espèces consommées et les habitants du site.Si la période du Dilmoun Ancien montre un spectre assez varié, l’arrivée sur l’île des Kassites (c. 1450 av. J.-C.) met en avant une pêche très orientée, avec la capture des empereurs. Il semble qu’il y ait une préférence pour cette famille. Les périodes suivantes montrent un spectre à nouveau plus diversifié, qui s’étoffe d’avantage lors de la diffusion de l’Islam sur l’île. Les espèces consommées se rapprochent alors de celles commercialisées de nos jours. Cette grande variété s’accompagne d’une diminution des tailles des poissons, qui peut s’expliquer par un nouveau territoire de pêche et la capture de nouvelles espèces afin de diversifier la consommation de poisson.Malgré ces différences notables au cours des occupations qui peuvent être liées aux habitants et à leur préférence alimentaire, il apparait que les populations successives de Qal’at al-Bahreïn ont intensément exploité les ressources côtières et avaient une parfaite connaissance du milieu marin et des comportements des espèces capturéesLocated on the island of Bahrain, the tell of Qal’at al-Bahrain was a main port occupying a strategic geographical position, in the middle of the Persian Gulf, between the Middle East and the rest of the Asian continent. Thanks to its coastal position, the site played during several millenia (from the 3rd millenium BC, until the 17th century AD), an important commercial and maritime role, between Mesopotamia, the Iranian and Arab coasts, Oman, the Indian sub-continent or the Far East.Excavated since nearly sixty years, this coastal settlement offers to the archaeologists an exceptional, unique stratigraphy in the Arabian Peninsula, which extends from the Early Dilmun (c. 2200 BC) to the Middle Islamic period (c. 13-16th centuries AD), and provides the opportunity to study and compare the successive occupations at the site. Beyond this regional reference status, Qal’at al-Bahrain presents by its monuments (residential, administrative, commercial, religious and military) a true testimony of the historical development of Dilmun, the most important culture of the ancient Gulf.The numerous architectural vestiges are associated with a diversified archaeological equipment (ceramic, metal, figurative art, inscriptions, seals, vegetal and faunal macro-remains, including a large number of fish remains). The present study is devoted to the fish remains unearthed during the various excavation seasons led by the French archaeological mission, from 1989 to 1996, then from 2000 to 2004, and completed by the results gathered at the time of the Danish excavations, carried out since the 1950s. The bone material, which is abundant and quite well preserved, allows a diachronic study of this sample.The determination of the fish bones reveals a constant spectrum of four families throughout the occupation of the site: Serranidae (groupers), Carangidae (carangues), Sparidae (seabream) and Lethrinidae (emperors). Their importance varies within each occupation and it is then interesting to note the correlation between the consumed species and the inhabitants of the site.If the Early Dilmun period shows a rather diversified spectrum, the arrival of the Kassites on the island (c. 1450 BC) suggests a much more directed fishing activity, with the capture of the emperors. It seems that there is a preference for this family. The following periods show again a more diversified spectrum, which increased at the time of the spread of Islam on the island. The consumed species approach those marketed then nowadays. This large variety is linked with a reduction in the sizes of the fishes, which can be explained by a new fishing territory and the capture of new species to diversify the fish consumption.In spite of these notable differences during occupations which can rely on the inhabitants and their food preference, it appears that the successive populations of Qal’at al-Bahrain exploited intensely the coastal resources and had a perfect knowledge of the marine environment and behaviours of the captured species

Full textAbstract:
Dans le but d'évaluer la portée historiographique de ce choix de montage qui consiste à faire œuvre cinématographique à partir d'images déjà existantes, cette thèse développe une étude de deux films de réemploi réalisés au Brésil dans le début des années 1970 : História do Brasil (Histoire du Brésil, Glauber Rocha et Marcos Medeiros, 1974) et Triste Trópico (Triste Tropique, Arthur Omar, 1974). Œuvres uniques dans la filmographie de cinéastes importants, ces films, réalisés uniquement à partir du recyclage de matériaux divers, partagent en plus de leur méthode atypique de réalisation, un intérêt central pour la compréhension de l'histoire du Brésil. Dans leur travail avec les images préexistantes, História do Brasil et Triste Trópico actualisent des questions qui traversent non seulement l'esthétique cinématographique, mais plus généralement le champ de la création culturelle brésilienne des années 60-70, période politiquement marquée au Brésil par une dictature militaire (1964-1985). À partir d'une analyse esthétique du montage, nous nous interrogeons sur la façon selon laquelle ces films s'approprient l'histoire et construisent à l'aide des procédés mêmes de montage un regard sur la société brésilienne du temps présent, celui de leur réalisation. À partir de quels matériaux et de quelles stratégies discursives développent-ils une pensée historique ? Un troisième film, postérieur, Tudo é Brasil (Rogério Sganzerla, 1998), est ponctuellement convoqué dans la première partie de la thèse, afin de montrer combien certains choix politiques et esthétiques de ces films de réemploi de 1974 signalent une position générationnelle, partagée par Sganzerla, qui se prolonge dans le tempsThis thesis develops a study of two compilation films made in Brazil in the early 1970s: História do Brasil (History of Brazil, Glauber Rocha and Marcos Medeiros, 1974) and Triste Trópico (Sad Tropic, Arthur Omar, 1974). Unique works in the filmography of important filmmakers, these films, made from the appropriation of various materials, share in addition to their atypical method of filmmaking, a central interest for the understanding of the history of Brazil. They radically exploit the power of rewriting what already exists to build a new work of historical content. In their work with pre-existing images História do Brasil and Triste Trópico address issues that concern not only the cinema, but the field of Brazilian cultural creation of the 60s and 70s, period politically marked in Brazil by the military dictatorship (1964-1985). Based mostly on an aesthetic analysis of the film's montages, we question the way in which they "write" history and offer, in their very editing processes, a perspective at Brazilian society. From what materials and discursive strategies do these films develop their historical thoughts? The thesis aims to contribute to the establishment of a range of film recycling practices and theoretical questions about the presence of archival footage in cinema, as well as about the relationship between cinema and historical narrative
Esta tese desenvolve um estudo sobre dois filmes de reemprego brasileiros realizados no início dos anos 1970: História do Brasil (Glauber Rocha e Marcos Medeiros, 1974) e Triste Trópico (Arthur Omar, 1974), com o objetivo de avaliar o alcance historiográfico da escolha estética e política do reemprego de imagens já existentes como método de realização. Obras singulares na filmografia de artistas importantes, esses filmes, realizados fundamentalmente a partir da retomada de materiais diversos, compartilham, além de seu raro método de realização, um interesse central pela compreensão da história do Brasil. Trata-se de filmes que exploram radicalmente a potência de re-criação e re-escritura (ou releitura) do que já existe para a construção de uma obra nova, com intenções históricas. Através da montagem de materiais do passado, História do Brasil e Triste Trópico atualizam questões que atravessam não somente o cinema, mas o campo da criação cultural brasileira dos anos 60-70, período marcado politicamente pela vigência da ditadura militar no Brasil (1964-1985). A partir de uma análise estética, o objetivo desta tese é pensar como os filmes elaboram suas narrativas de caráter histórico e constroem, através dos próprios procedimentos da montagem, um olhar sobre a sociedade brasileira do tempo presente de então, o início dos anos 1970. A partir de quais materiais e estratégias discursivas eles elaboram um pensamento sobre o Brasil e a história? Um terceiro filme, posterior, Tudo é Brasil (Rogério Sganzerla, 1998), é pontualmente convocado na primeira parte da tese, a fim de mostrar o quanto determinadas escolhas políticas e estéticas destes filmes de reemprego de 1974 apontam para uma postura geracional, compartilhada por Sganzerla, que se prolonga no tempo

Full textAbstract:
This is an analysis of the U.S. Army's personnel decisions in the Second World War. Specifically, it considers the U.S. Army Chief of Staff George C. Marshall's appointment of generals to combat command, and his reasons for relieving some generals while leaving others in place after underperformance. Many historians and contemporaries of Marshall, including General Omar N. Bradley, have commented on Marshall's ability to select brilliant, capable general officers for combat command in the war. However, in addition to solid performers like J. Lawton Collins, Lucian Truscott, and George S. Patton, Marshall, together with Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lesley J. McNair, often selected sub-par commanders who significantly underperformed on the battlefield. These generals' tactical and operational decisions frequently led to unnecessary casualties, and ultimately prolonged the war. The work considers six case studies: Lloyd Fredendall at Kasserine Pass, Mark Clark during the Italian campaign, John Lucas at Anzio, Omar Bradley at the Falaise Gap, Courtney Hodges at the Hürtgen Forest, and Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr. at Okinawa. Personal connections and patronage played strong roles in these generals' command appointments, and often trumped practical considerations like command experience. While their superiors ultimately relieved corps commanders Fredendall and Lucas, field army and army group commanders Clark, Hodges, and Bradley retained command of their units, (Buckner died from combat wounds on Okinawa). Personal connections also strongly influenced the decision to retain the field army and army group commanders in their commands.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the construction of a historical event in late medieval chronicles, in a way that increases our understanding of the mechanisms behind historiography. The analysis is based on how the coronation of Pope Clement V in 1305 and the accident which then took place, in which a wall crashed and killed a number of people, is depicted in a selection of 14th century chronicles, mainly from France. This event has been largely overlooked by previous research on Clement V and the Avignon Papacy, which has tended to emphasise its meaning as a bad omen for the pope. Through a close reading of the chronicles inspired by a comparative methodological approach and the theoretical framework of Suzanne Fleischman this thesis proves that the French chronicles do not give much actual support for the interpretation of the accident as a bad omen and that the event occurs in multiple versions, which can be explained by the chroniclers’ different attitudes towards the alliance between Pope Clement and King Philip the Fair of France. The different versions are dependent on the texts’ contrasting aims and uses of narratives and facts, and is ultimately defined by the communicative situation between writer and reader.

Full textAbstract:
Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Edward FitzGerald’s poem Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám has been illustrated over a hundred and fifty times during the decade and a half since its first publication. These illustrations have depicted exotic, arcadian other-places that ignore the poem’s frequent endorsement to live with immediacy. My Practice-based Creative PhD project has focused on producing a visual interpretation that reflects the immediate landscapes of my own physical situation: modern Australia. I have crafted illustrations that use the current landscapes and biotic content of the Hunter Valley, NSW, to emphasise not only the ongoing relevance of this poem to the brevity of human life but also my interpretations of the poem. To describe the poem’s frequent references to the passage of time I have drawn on my experience as a Natural History Illustrator, integrating the cycle of seasonal climatic events, plant and animal behaviour into my visual interpretation. I have also inverted the existing trend of exotic illustrations in a familiar physical context (that of a book) by presenting my depiction of the familiar, local environments in two exotic formats. These formats are based on Japanese narrative-scrolls and woodblock prints, providing unusual and intentionally tactile creative objects.
