Abstract:

Amaicha del Valle et Quilmes, deux villages du nord-ouest Argentin, ont le statut de « communauté indienne » depuis le milieu des années 1990. Cette étude s'attache à analyser ce phénomène de revendications identitaires indiennes et d'en comprendre les enjeux, qu'ils soient d'ordre politique, économique, sociaux, culturels, et bien sur territoriaux. Ce travail s'interroge donc sur ce phénomène complexe et non sans ambiguïté qui est de « re-devenir indien en Argentine ». Comment affirmer, revendiquer et mettre en scène une identité ethnique censée avoir disparu de la scène nationale ? C'est en terme de processus social et historique et en termes de «frontières » qu'est ici analysé le phénomène d'ethnogenèse qui s'opère dans le nord-Ouest argentin. Ce travail montre que ce processus revendicatif s'inscrit dans un contexte continental et mondial plus général lié aux droits élaborés en faveurs de « peuples autochtones ». Cette étude ne vise cependant pas à établir une théorie générale à propos de l'ethnicité, au contraire. L'approche comparative de deux villages voisins éloignés de vingt kilomètres, montre que d'un lieu à l'autre, les enjeux des revendications identitaires peuvent être très différents et que la construction de soi en terme ethnique peut être tout à fait distincte alors qu'on appartient à une même aire géographique et culturelle
Since the 1990s, Amicha del Valle and Quilmes, two villages in Argentina have the status of "Indian Community". This study analyzes this process of claiming for an Indian identity. To understand the claiming process for an Indian identity it is important to take all aspects of what is at stake into account; political, economical, social, cultural and of course not least territorial. In this work the question is asked what it means to re-become Indian in Argentina. How is an ethnical identity which is supposed to have disappeared from the national arena reclaimed? The process of "ethnogenesis" in North West Argentina is analyzed in terms of social and historical processes as well as in terms of "borders". What this work shows is that the procedure of (re-)claiming the ethnical identity is part of a global context, linked as it is to the developed ideas of the rights of "indigenous people". But, this study does not pretend to be building a general theory on ethnicity. At the contrary, the comparative study of two neighboring villages, situated only twenty kilometers (approximately twelve and a half miles) apart, shows that the claims for identity are very dissimilar. Consequently, how to build your identity can be different even when we are part of the same geographical and cultural area

Abstract:

Ce travail envisage l’étude du rapport entre la configuration territoriale et la trajectoire évolutive des entreprises. Du point de vue conceptuel, son objectif est celui de contribuer à la discussion des rapports entre le territoire et l’établissement des entreprises. Du point de vue empirique, cette thèse vise à identifier et à expliquer les changements dans la structure et dans la dynamique du territoire, à travers une perspective intégrale des processus d’industrialisation, localisation, trajectoire et stratégies d’entreprise et leur influence dans le territoire. Dans cette analyse comparative se joignent les perspectives géographique, historique et économique pour mettre en relief le territoire comme témoin des processus productifs. La richesse de l’analyse se nourrit de la possibilité d’interaction entre les dimensions de processus à différentes échelles, spatiales et d’analyse. L’hypothèse de base est celle que dans leur trajectoire historique, les entreprises ont transformé le territoire où elles se sont installées, le configurant et consolidant l’identité industrielle des localités ayant une influence décroissante à partir de la restructuration des années 90. Dans cette thèse, nous focalisons à partir d’une étude comparative, deux cas d’entreprises appartenant à la première période de l’industrialisation argentine qui vécurent jusqu’au XXIè siècle, parcourant des chemins évolutifs différents face au changement de modèle industriel et au processus de globalisation. Situées dans deux localités du sud de la capitale, leur évolution est aussi représentative des dynamiques qui se manifestent dans la Région Métropolitaine de Buenos Aires
This paper deals with the study of the relationship between the territorial configuration and the evolution of big firms. From a conceptual point of view, its aim is to contribute to the debate about the relations between the territory and the establishment of industries. From an empirical point of view, this thesis aims to identify and explain the changes in the structure and dynamics of the territory by means of an integral overview of the industrialization process, its location and evolution, the companies’ strategies and their impact on the territory. Geographic, historic and economic perspectives were integrated in this comparative analysis to highlight the territory as a witness of the productive process. The variety of the analysis is based on the possibility of the interaction between the different dimensions of processes in view of different spatial and analytical scales. The basic hypothesis is that the companies, in their historical evolution, have transformed the territory where they were set up shaping and consolidating the industrial identity of the urban centres with a decreasing influence starting from the reorganization of the 90’s. In this thesis, from a comparative point of view, we focus on two cases of company’s representative of the first argentine industrialization process that managed to reach the 21st Century following different evolutionary paths as they adapted to the changes of industrial patterns and to the globalization process. Located in two different urban centres south of Buenos Aires City, their evolutions also represent the dynamics observed in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires

Abstract:

Cette thèse en urbanisme s'inscrit dans le champ des études sur la question urbaine et privilégie les domaines sociaux, techniques et politico-administratifs. Son objet, ce sont les réseaux techniques urbains (eau, assainissement, transports et télécommunications), et particulièrement la dernière génération des technologies de l'information et de la communication, les " technologies de la société de l'information " (TSI) et leurs relations avec les processus de transformation de l'espace physique et social urbain en Argentine et à échelle locale, entre 1990 et 2001. Ce thème nouveau a pris récemment de l'ampleur dans le champ de la recherche scientifique grâce à de nombreux apports empiriques. La thèse se propose d'apporter sa contribution avec une étude de cas, dans le Partido de Quilmes, agglomération et province de Buenos Aires, en replaçant les réseaux techniques urbains dans le contexte des politiques de privatisation, en identifiant et analysant les expériences employant les TSI menées par les gouvernements locaux argentins, par les acteurs communautaires et les entreprises locaux (Coopérative de téléphone, Université virtuelle,. . . ). Sur cette base, on essaie d'apporter des éléments pour savoir si ces technologies entraînent l'émergence d'un nouvelle dimension spatio-temporelle dans la ville en ce début de nouveau millénaire. On cherche également à construire une vision différenciée sur les TSI, car si Internet est bien un réseau global par définition, ceci n'implique pas nécessairement que la disparition de certaines frontières ne s'accompagne de l'apparition de nouvelles, ni que sa diffusion et son usage ne dépendent pas du contexte social, culturel, politique, économique et technologique où il s'insère
This town-planning thesis is part of the urban query studies and pushes the social, technical and politico-administration fields. The objects are the technical urban networks (water, purification, transport and telecommunication), and specially the latest generation of information and communication technologies, the " technologies of the society information " (TSI) and their relations with the transformation processes of the physical space and social town in Argentina at the local ladder, between 1990 and 2001. This new topic took recently an important place in the scientific research field thanks to many empirical contributions. The thesis proposes to bring his own contribution with the study of a case in the " Partido " of Quilmes, agglomeration and province of Buenos Aires, while replacing the technical urban red in the context of privatization politic, while identifying and analyzing the experiences using the TSI conducted by the local Argentinean governments, by the community actors and the local businesses (Phone Co-operative, Virtual University, ). On this basis we aggregate elements to know if these technologies allowed creation of a new dimension time-space in the city in the very early years of the new millennium. At the same time, we try to construct a differentiated vision on the TSI, because if Internet is, by definition, a real global network, this does not necessarily mean that the disappearance of borders is not the creation of new, and that his broadcasting and usage are not part of social, cultural, political, economical and technological context

Abstract:

Layered graphs find use in many applications today, including flow charts, business processes, and genealogical diagrams. Traditional means of depicting this data are similar to depictions of unlayered node-link graphs, with each layer's nodes grouped into a line. This type of diagram becomes increasingly difficult to use as the number of nodes and links increases, presenting a scalability issue. We suggest quilted graphs as a better scaling alternative to traditional depictions. Quilted graphs draw on the strengths of matrix-style depictions already in use for unlayered graphs to reduce the impact of graph size on graph legibility. By combining positional encoding from matrix-style depictions with other means of link encoding, they can also be made more compact than matrix depictions. We have developed prototype software to create these graphs, and interactive behavior has been added to enhance their usability. Several applications of quilted graphs are suggested and demonstrated in place of existing diagrams including SAS's activity-based management (ABM) data, online analytical processing (OLAP) hierarchies, and genealogical diagrams.

At the end of the 60s, Andr e and Quillen introduced a cohomology theory for commutative algebras, which today is called Andr e-Quillen's cohomology. In this work, we will study K ahler di erential functor, which is here seen as a derived functor (in a nonabelian context), which connects the categories: simpli ed R-algebras and simpli ed R-modules. In the rst, through simplicial resolutions, we will notice that they characterize certain objects and diagrams of this model category, which in turn, are preserved by K ahler di erential functor. In addition, we will approach the complex cotangent of a R-algebra, and through it, de ne the homology and cohomology of Andr e-Quilen, and of course, expose some properties of these.

Na primeira, atrav es das resolu c~oes simpliciais, notaremos que estas caracterizam certos objetos e diagramas desta categoria modelo, que por sua vez, s~ao preservados pelo funtor de diferenciais de K ahler. Al em disso, abordaremos o complexo cotangente de uma R- algebra, e atrav es dele, de nir a homologia e cohomologia de André-Quillen, e naturalmente, expor algumas propriedades destas.

Abstract:

Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Mathematics, 2015.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 107-109).
In this thesis, I prove several results toward constructing a machine that turns Lagrangian correspondences into A[infinity],-functors between Fukaya categories. The core of this construction is pseudoholomorphic quilts with figure eight singularity. In the first part, I propose a blueprint for constructing an algebraic object that binds together the Fukaya categories of many different symplectic manifolds. I call this object the "symplectic A[infinity]-2-category Symp". The key to defining the structure maps of Symp is the figure eight bubble. In the second part, I establish a collection of strip-width-independent elliptic estimates. The key is function spaces which augment the Sobolev norm with another term, so that the norm of a product can be bounded by the product of the norms in a manner which is independent of the strip-width. Next, I prove a removable singularity theorem for the figure eight singularity. Using the Gromov compactness theorem mentioned in the following paragraph, I adapt an argument of Abbas-Hofer to uniformly bound the norm of the gradient of the maps in cylindrical coordinates centered at the singularity. I conclude by proving a "quilted" isoperimetric inequality. In the third part, which is joint with Katrin Wehrheim, I use my collection of estimates to prove a Gromov compactness theorem for quilts with a strip of (possibly non-constant) width shrinking to zero. This features local C[infinity]-convergence away from the points where energy concentrates. At such points, we produce a nonconstant quilted sphere.

Abstract:

Il formalismo Mathai-Quillen (MQ) è un metodo per costruire la classe di Thom di un fibrato vettoriale attraverso una forma differenziale di profilo Gaussiano. Lo scopo di questa tesi è quello di formulare una nuova rappresentazione della classe di Thom usando aspetti geometrici della quantizzazione Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV). Nella prima parte del lavoro vengono riassunti i formalismi BV e MQ entrambi nel caso finito dimensionale. Infine sfrutteremo la trasformata di Fourier “odd" considerando la forma MQ come una funzione definita su un opportuno spazio graduato.

Une construction explicite de cet isomorphisme peut être déduite de la suite spectrale de Leray. Dans la première partie de la thèse, sous l'hypothèse que r. Est localement libre, On établit une formule de comparaison des métriques de Quillen sur l(xi) et l(r. ) En termes d'intégrales de formes de transgression de Bott-chern et de formes de torsion analytique de Bismut-Kohler. Dans la seconde partie de la thèse, on étudie le cas du fibre de Poincaré p sur le produit d'un tore complexe t et de son dual t, la submersion étant ici la projection sur t. Les faisceaux image directe de p ne sont pas localement libres. Le modèle a suivre est alors donne par un travail de Bismut-Lebeau sur les immersions de variétés complexes: On montre dans notre cas une certaine compatibilite entre les formules de Bismut-Lebeau et de la 1ere partie. Un calcul explicite montre que tous les termes s'annulent

Abstract:

Linear logic has been intensively studied since its introduction almost twenty years ago. Originally introduced as a proof theory, two distinct semantic traditions have evolved around linear logic: the denotational semantics of linear logic, and the Geometry of Interaction. In this thesis we explore how abstract homotopy theory may be used to reconcile these semantic traditions. This approach is in some sense already suggested by the fact that, in denotational semantics, one is forced to take equivalence classes of proofs, and not proofs per se, as morphisms. Our approach amounts to taking a coarser equivalence relation than is needed to construct a denotational model, in order to create a category more closely resembling those which occur in Geometry of Interaction. A new class of denotational models, called adherence spaces and in some sense tailor-suited to the problem at hand, are introduced. Then it is shown how a Quillen model structure may be imposed on a category of adherence spaces in such a way that the resulting homotopy category is compact closed.

Reinhard, Philipp Michael. "Andre-Quillen homology for simplicial algebras and ring spectra." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2008. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/507/.

Full text

Abstract:

We discuss Andre-Quillen homology for simplicial algebras and algebras over simplicial algebras, extending the classical notion for rings. This extension is also discussed by Goerss and Hopkins, however our statements are proven in a more explicit way. We are then further able to construct spectral sequences for Andre-Quillen homology like the spectral sequence for the indecomposables or the Fundamental spectral sequence according to Quillen. The Andre-Quillen homology for algebras constructed as cellular complexes is calculated and we apply this homology theory to obtain notions of atomic and nuclear algebras, thus extending results from Baker and May. We define the notion of i-stable algebras and are able to give a comparison theorem between Andre-Quillen homology, stabilisation and Gamma-homology for i-stable algebras up to degree i. In the second part of the thesis we discuss topological Andre-Quillen homology and extend certain results by Gilmour about cellular complexes in this setting.

Full text

Abstract:

Roger Quilter is best known for his elegant and refined songs, which are rooted in late Victorian parlour-song, and are staples of the English artsong repertoire. This thesis has two aims: to explore his output beyond the canon of about twenty-five songs which overshadows the rest of his work; and to counter an often disparaging view of his music, arising from his refusal to work in large-scale forms, the polished assurance of his work, and his education other than in an English musical establishment. These aims are achieved by presenting biographical material, which places him in his social and musical context as a wealthy, upper-class, Edwardian gentleman composer, followed by an examination of his music. Various aspects of his solo and partsong œuvre are considered; his incidental music for the play Where the Rainbow Ends and its contribution to the play’s West End success are examined fully; a chapter on his light opera sheds light on his collaborative working practices, and traces the development of the several versions of the work; and his piano, instrumental and orchestral works are discussed within their function as light music. The thesis concludes that, far from being merely a composer of drawing-room songs, Quilter shows a considerable quality across the breadth of his music.

Full text

Abstract:

Objects can evoke our most vivid memories and sensory emotions, through the stories that have been engraved into them across their lifetime. Throughout history, patchwork-quilting has been used to tell stories, hide messages and hold histories. They are seen as objects of warmth, comfort and security, inanimate extensions of ourselves that store our most complex sentiments and memories- becoming heirlooms that are kept in the families and communities for generations, preserving our histories and material culture. I intend to explore the inseparable relationship between craft and narrative within quilts, whilst re-imagining the quilts forms and functions in order to communicate stories more vividly. To do so I will use my memories of My Dead Dog, Henry, to illustrate narratives and embed them into quilted objects to stage as a tableau of artifacts. I intend to encourage the viewer to realise the imagined, through a haptic experience of my material world, whilst simultaneously creating my own heirlooms that can be passed down so my stories are not forgotten.

Abstract:

Por mucho tiempo, las quilcas o el arte rupestre despertaron en mí una atención especial. Entre todas las reliquias y guacas del pasado nacional, las quilcas siempre fueron uno de los objetos más enigmáticos e interesantes a mis ojos, sin mucho que ver con la arquitectura, la cerámica decorada o cualquier otra evidencia de nuestro pasado. En el pregrado en San Marcos, el interés en este material se incrementó en la medida en que venía adquiriendo un conocimiento de la evidencia arqueológica, especialmente a partir de las visitas a diferentes sitios con quilcas, guiado por arqueólogos y profesores experimentados. No obstante a medida que pasaban los años, mi apreciación por el material devino en interés científico, al reconocer que, a diferencia de los demás materiales arqueológicos, las quilcas carecían de una explicación técnica convincente sobre su naturaleza cultural, artefactual, y casi no habían sido incorporadas a los discursos de inclusión histórica del país, permaneciendo segregadas, aisladas e ignoradas en una arqueología tan rica como la peruana; de aquí que la resolución de estos problemas, circunscritos, en primer lugar, a la región de Lima, se convirtiera en una motivación importante para intentar y completar este trabajo. Las recientes investigaciones rupestres que se están llevando a cabo en los Andes peruanos están incidiendo en que la región de Lima es, por ahora, la que presenta el más articulado y avanzado conjunto de evidencia rupestre, cuya existencia está relacionada al surgimiento de la civilización compleja en los Andes, aproximadamente cinco mil años antes de nuestra era, y a todos los procesos históricos regionales hasta la invasión española del Tahuantinsuyu en el siglo XVI. Esta evidencia, como se verá más adelante en el transcurso de la presente tesis, constituye la prueba material de un alto desarrollo cognitivo, cuya historia milenaria no había sido advertida antes, y conforma, creemos, una importante revelación arqueológica de nuestro pasado andino. El descubrimiento de esta evidencia se realizó principalmente en los valles de los ríos Chillón, Rímac y Lurín, en los cuales se efectuó la ubicación sistemática, el descubrimiento, el redescubrimiento y el registro de diversos sitios arqueológicos con quilcas o arte rupestre, cuya documentación constituye, a la vez, las premisas materiales que sustentan este trabajo y datos de primera mano para la inclusión de este material cultural dentro de los ensamblajes artefactuales de la arqueología de Lima; materiales que no habían sido puestos en relieve o fueron sistemáticamente marginados de la historia de Lima o de la arqueología peruana en los últimos años, como se puede corroborar cuando se evalúan las obras de consenso y síntesis de la arqueología peruana (Bennett and Bird 1960, Lanning 1967, Lumbreras 1969, 1981, Willey 1971, Kauffmann 1976, Ravines 1982, Bonavia 1991, Burger 1995, Moseley 1997, Shady y Leyva 2003, Iriarte 2004, León 2007, entre otros). Aunque hay un aparente vacío en la documentación y estudio de las quilcas, también han existido relevantes esfuerzos intelectuales para su comprensión histórica, los que lamentablemente han sido minimizados en favor de una arqueología convencional orientada hacia otros artefactos, como la cerámica o la arquitectura. Vale mencionar, no obstante, al monseñor Dr. Pedro Eduardo Villar Córdova como el primer arqueólogo nacional que incluyó explícitamente registros e investigaciones de sitios con quilcas o arte rupestre para el estudio de la arqueología de Lima a nivel regional (Villar 1935, 1976); al Dr. Javier Pulgar Vidal, quien estableció la aproximación toponímica y realizó las primeras prospecciones sistemáticas en el Perú con el fin de registrar sitios arqueológicos con quilcas o “centros de quilcas” (Pulgar 1946, 1959-1960); y al Dr. Eloy Linares Málaga, quien realizó las primeras definiciones tipológicas del artefacto y las grandes síntesis histórico-arqueológicas basadas en quilcas o arte rupestre (Linares 1973, 1999).

Abstract:

The Freedom Quilt is a play that I have written and adapted from Deborah Hokinson’s book, Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt. This story explores the historic and dramatic implications in the idea of coded quilts as a form of communication among African American slaves; specifically as coded maps to freedom. There is an ongoing scholarly debate challenging the existence of these quilts, let alone that they could have been used in such a complex manner. The Freedom Quilt however, is one girl’s unique and individual story, and does not in any way suggest that maps, encoded in quilts were used by a large number of escaping slaves. I don’t know if the actuality of these quilts can ever be proven or disproven, but history has revealed that there were many paths to freedom, and following a map of this kind could very well have been one of them.

Abstract:

This study seeks to explore the historical influence of quilting within the African-American community, its development as a form of non-verbal communication, through the evolution of an organizational culture originating from the period of Reconstruction, and its relevance as a continued communication medium among quilters of today. The study will trace the influence of cultural traditions from Africa, through the period of Reconstruction to the 21st century. The goal of the research is to identify the development of cultural and organizational behaviors that influenced a sustainable form of non-verbal communication that is generational, as well as cultural, particularly among African-American women. The study will further explore the use of quilting as a new medium of non-verbal communication for social issues, giving voice many life experiences that may be overlooked. It will also explore ways in which quilting can be used to further educate others as it assumes the identity of a new and important art form.

The research will use a qualitative analysis approach, conducting interviews with generational quilters from Baltimore, MD, Charleston, Florence, Georgetown, and Beaufort, SC, who are believed to have first-hand experience of the art form due to the predominance of quilting within those specific African –American communities. In addition, a review of peer research will be assessed to evaluate the correlation between present day first-hand accounts quilting and the relevance of prior research in determining if quilting is still a culturally motivated skill. Theories founded in research studies from the science of anthropology, will describe how organizational culture is instrumental in developing specific behaviors and patterns of assimilation within a community. It will further define how values, norms and traditions provide the framework of quilting as a non-verbal means of expression within a community or culture. It is believed that the research will show that quilting has been influenced by the life experiences contained within specific cultural structures. It is also the goal of this study to prove that quilting is an art form that has been limited in its past assessment as an influential form of non-verbal communication, and personal expression, and that the craft is communicated through generations, in an historical context which has contained a predominant cultural influence among African-American women.

We use the obstruction theory of Blanc-Dwyer-Goerss to study the realization space of certain - algebras with 2 non-trivial groups. The main technical tool is a result on the Quillen cohomology of truncated -algebras, which is an instance of comparison map induced by an adjunction. We study in more generality the behavior of Quillen (co)homology with respect to adjunctions. As a first step toward applying the obstruction theory to 3-types, we develop methods to compute Quillen cohomology of 2-truncated -algebras via a generalization of group cohomology.

Resumo: o objetivo maior desta dissertação é investigar a participação de escravos em um movimento social de homens livres. Trata-se da revolta popular do Quebra-Quilos, que teve inicio no antigo município de Campina Grande, entre os últimos meses do ano de 1874 e inícios de 1875, tendo depois se estendido para vilas e cidades de quatro províncias do norte do Império. Partimos do pressuposto de que, ao se aproveitarem da conjuntura que então se vivia, os cativos campinenses imprimiram significados próprios ao mencionado movimento. Para que esses acontecimentos adquiram inteligibilidade histórica plena é preciso recuar no tempo, pois essas ações estiveram fortemente informadas por uma rede de experiências políticas e culturais, tecida no mais das vezes subterraneamente, e que foi acionada por escravos e libertos para ampliar e conquistar espaços de liberdade diante de seus senhores, num momento em que a instituição escravista passava por processo de crescente desligitimação, resultante de divisões no interior da comunidade dos homens livres, de um lado, e as lutas históricas dos trabalhadores escravizados, de outro. Para atingir o objetivo traçado acima, partimos das evidências diretas e indiretas, resultantes da pesquisa feita na documentação compulsada, como também de um diálogo com a bibliografia que tratou do tema, interrogando inclusive os seus silêncios
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to investigate the involvement of slaves in the popular Revolt of Quebra -Quilos (the smashing of weights and measures), a social uprising which started in the ancient town of Campina Grande in the Northeast of Paraiba from late 1874 until early 1875 and spread out to villages and other towns in the four provinces of the north of the empire. Our assumption is based on the fact that the local captives had their way of life as a reason to give the movement a specific conotation. To provide the incidents with total historical inteligibility, it was essential to return in time to search for polítical and cultural experiences which strongly influenced them. Such a network of influences, secretly achieved most of the times, was burst by slaves and even by men who had been set free with the purpose to enlarge and hold their chances of freedom before their masters as the slavery institution underwent a growing precess of dislegitimization resulting from both the disruptions inside the communities of free men and the enslaved workers' historical struggles. To meet the goal of this work, we searched for direct and indirect evidences from the research conducted through documents recorded as well as the contact with the biblíography concerning the topic by questioning even the silence of the texts

Abstract:

Quilts are a unique medium that is deeply layered with meaning, highly gendered, intimately tied to social and cultural communities, and richly interdisciplinary. Though quilts are utilitarian in origin, their circulation and display take them far beyond the home--to art galleries, history museums, state fairs, quilt shows, and philanthropic auctions. As they move, individuals and institutions make significant intellectual and emotional investments in how quilts are classified, judged, and valued. In this highly politicized work, individuals and institutions shape public culture through debates about quilts' utility, workmanship, and aesthetics; they create and display quilts to further their cultural heritage, manifest their faith, delineate aesthetic values, reinforce disciplinary boundaries, and elevate their artistic status. This project uses four representative case studies to demonstrate the cultural work that women and institutions conduct using quilts and to explore what is at stake in that work. Through research into the Iowa State Fair quilt competition and the Michiana Mennonite Relief Sale Quilt Auction, I reveal how women employ their quilts and quilt displays to promulgate their values and shape their communities. In case studies of larger institutions--the Smithsonian Institution and the American Quilter's Society--I investigate how quilts intersect with other artistic and historic objects in their creation, interpretation, and display. Each chapter includes historical research, observations from site visits, and evidence from qualitative interviews--research that provides a historical view of each institution and an analysis of how they currently categorize, judge, and display quilts. Together, these case studies reveal that individual efforts at quilt display intersect in broader public culture, where conversations about how to value and interpret quilts are also essential conversations about aesthetics, community values, disciplinarity, and the value of women's work.

Resumo: Participaram dessa pesquisa de 24 crianças de 8 a 11 anos matriculadas em escolas estaduais de primeiro grau e que apresentavam dificuldades de aprendizagem. O objetivo principal foi o de verificar a influência de atividades realizadas com jogos de regras: Cilada e Quilles no desenvolvimento operatório dos sujeitos e na compreensão de noções de aritmética elementar. Para efeito deste estudo, procedeu-se à distribuição aleatória dos sujeitos em dois grupos: experimental (N=12) e controle (N=12), os quais foram submetidos ao pré e pós-teste. Para avaliar o desempenho dos sujeitos nessas situações, foram utilizadas provas para diagnóstico do comportamento operatório e de conhecimento aritmético, segundo os princípios do método clínico-crítico, criado por Piaget e empregados nas pesquisas em Psicologia Genética, empreendidas por esse autor e seus seguidores. Num período de dois meses, os sujeitos do grupo experimental participaram de situações lúdica que caracterizaram a intervenção pedagógica, ao nível individual. A análise qualitativa dos resultados baseou-se nos procedimentos apresentados pelos sujeitos nas situações de pré e pós-teste, bem como durante a intervenção. Tais resultados permitem afirmar que os sujeitos do grupo experimental apresentaram nítido progresso, tanto na construção de noções operatórias quanto na compreensão de noções aritméticas, não tendo sido observado o mesmo com relação aos sujeitos do grupo controle. O progresso alcançado pelos sujeitos do grupo experimental pode ser atribuído ao fato de que a intervenção pedagógica, por meio dos jogos de regras, criou ¿um espaço para pensar¿. Isso porque, nas situações problema engendrado pelo jogo, o raciocínio desses sujeitos foi desafiado, desencadeado os mecanismos de resoluções compensatórias e, conseqüentemente, novos procedimentos. Tais mecanismos intervêm no processo de ¿equilibração majorante¿, responsável pela construção das estruturas mentais que possibilitam ao ser humano conhecer e aprender
Abstract: Twenty-four children from 8 to 11 years of age, students of elementary public schools that presented difficulties of learning participated of this survey. The main objective was to identify the influence of game-ruled activities; "Cilada" and "Quilles" i in the operatory development of the subjects and in the understanding of elementary arithmetic. For this study, the subjects were randomly distributed into two groups: experimental (N=12) and control (N=12) which were submitted to the pre and post test Tests 'for the diagnosis of operatory behavior and arithmetic apprenticeship were used to evaluate the performance of the subjects in these situations. These tests followed the clinical-critical rnethod created by Piaget and used in the Genetic Psychological research by this author and followers. In a two-month period, the experimental group subjects participated of ludic situations that characterized individual pedagogical intervention. The qualitative analysis of the results was based on the procedures presented by the subjects in the pre and post test situations as well as during intervention. In view of such results it is possible to say that the experimental group subjects presented clear progress, in the construction of operational notions as well as in the acquisition of arithmetic notions. The same was not observed regarding the control group subjects. The progress achieved by the experimental group subjects may be due to the fact that pedagogical intervention, by the use of games, created ¿ a space for thinking¿. This happened because the situations created by the game challenged the subject's reasoning, which led to new procedures and, as consequence, the mechanisms of compensatory regulations that interfere in the process of "majoring balancing" responsible for the construction of mental structures that make it possible for the human being to know and learn

Abstract:

Le thème de cette thèse est les différents aspects de la théorie de Borel-Moore dans le monde motivique. Classiquement, sur le corps des nombres complexes, l’homologie de Borel-Moore, aussi appelée “homologie à support compact”, possède des propriétés assez différentes comparée avec l’homologie singulière. Dans cette thèse on étudiera quelques généralisations et applications de cette théorie dans les catégories triangulées de motifs.La thèse est composée de deux parties. Dans la première partie on définit l'homologie motivique de Borel-Moore dans les catégories triangulées de motifs mixtes définies par Cisinski et Déglise et étudie ses diverses propriétés fonctorielles, tout particulièrement une fonctorialité analogue au morphisme de Gysin raffiné défini par Fulton. Ces résultats nous serviront ensuite à identifier le coeur de la structure de poids de Chow définie par Hébert et Bondarko: il se trouve que le coeur, autrement dit la catégorie des éléments de poids zéro, est équivalente à une version relative des motifs purs de Chow sur une base définie par Corti et Hanamura.Dans la deuxième partie on démontre la représentabilité de la G-théorie de Quillen, sous la reformulation de Thomason, dans un premier temps dans la catégorie A1-homotopique des schémas de Morel-Voevodsky, mais aussi dans la catégorie homotopique stable construite par Jardine. On établit une identification de celle-ci comme la théorie de Borel-Moore associée à la K-théorie algébrique, en utilisant le formalisme des six foncteurs établi par Ayoub et Cisinski-Déglise
The theme of this thesis is different aspects of Borel-Moore theory in the world of motives. Classically, over the field of complex numbers, Borel-Moore homology, also called “homology with compact support”, has some properties quite different from singular homology. In this thesis we study some generalizations and applications of this theory in triangulated categories of motives.The thesis is composed of two parts. In the first part we define Borel-Moore motivic homology in the triangulated categories of mixed motives defined by Cisinski and Déglise and study its various functorial properties, especially a functoriality similar to the refined Gysin morphism defined by Fulton. These results are then used to identify the heart of the Chow weight structure defined by Hébert and Bondarko: it turns out that the heart, namely the category of elements of weight zero, is equivalent to a relative version of pure Chow motives over a base defined by Corti and Hanamura.In the second part we show the representability of Quillen’s G-theory, reformulated by Thomason, firstly in the A1-homotopy category of schemes of Morel-Voevodsky, but also in the stable homotopy category constructed by Jardine. We establish an identification of G-theory as the Borel-Moore theory associated to algebraic K-theory, by using the six functors formalism settled by Ayoub and Cisinski-Déglise

Abstract:

This thesis will explore a theology of place and placemaking that is focused on the participatory role of humans in both creation and redemption, while suggesting the central and paradigmatic role of artistry in our construction of and identification with place. Building on the most recent theological and philosophical engagement with place, this thesis will argue for a theology of place that takes seriously the doctrines of creation and incarnation, focusing on a particularly redemptive understanding of placemaking in the material world. In its study of scripture and theology, it will focus on God's blessing of people to participate in the making of places, along with the role this human making has in relationship to divine presence and the divine plan for creation and redemption. After developing a theology of place and placemaking more generally, the second half of this thesis will consider the practical, constructive, and transformative capabilities of placemaking as witnessed through the arts. Relying on theological engagement with the arts, it will argue that artistic making of all kinds and attention to place go hand in hand. Exploring a selection of artistic genres, including the photography of Marlene Creates, the quilts of Gee's Bend, and the literature of Wendell Berry, this thesis will suggest that imaginative and “artistic” placemaking practices can give us a deeper understanding of the creative, redemptive, and transformative work of Christ in Creation, while also elucidating our calling to participate in it.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation examines material cultural productions as meaning-making practices that memorialize migrant lives within a context that creates and sustains the conditions for migrant deaths. I explore the Migrant Quilt Project to understand the rhetorical force and function of memorializing quilts in neoliberal contexts where migrant lives are devalued and migrant deaths appear insignificant. Since the US Border Patrol first implemented the tactic of Prevention Through Deterrence, migrant deaths have increased, totaling almost 3,000 migrant deaths in the Sonoran Desert of Southern Arizona since 2000. As a response, activist quilters with The Migrant Quilt Project carefully craft quilts from clothing left behind by migrants crossing the desert. Each quilt documents migrant deaths from a specific year, as recorded by the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner, and includes the name of each migrant or "unknown" or "desconocido" for unidentified migrants that died that year. The quilts memorialize and humanize migrants to bring awareness to migrant deaths in the Southern Arizona community. I examine the quilts of the migrant quilt project and incorporate insights from interviews with quilters. This analysis reveals that the quilters carefully compose their quilts and employ particular rhetorical strategies to accomplish three goals: to humanize migrant lives through (counter) narrative, to memorialize migrant lives to resist erasure, and to raise awareness of what the quilters term the "reality" human migration. I argue that these three goals ultimately function to challenge dominant narratives of migrants and teach viewers about the ill effects of immigration policy. To theorize quilting as a method, this dissertation also focuses on my experience creating a quilt for the Migrant Quilt Project and explores the value of composing text(iles) as contributing to scholarly inquiry. Quilting as a method challenges traditional concepts of research and rigor to expand those concepts, which allows my particular project the opportunity to consider myself implicit in the plight of migrants. Quilting as method also facilitates a dialectical research process, which promotes an always changing perspective and research trajectory. This dialectical process expands understanding of the migrant experience and facilitates a thoughtful awareness when composing data representation. I argue that quilting as a feminist qualitative research method facilitates a nuanced understanding of the research questions about migrants and migrant representation. Ultimately this dissertation considers the productive possibilities of studying text(iles) and also of making text(iles). In completing this research, I argue that studying and composing quilts promotes tactile research methods to value various literacies and qualitative data representation. This research also provides pedagogical tools for rhetoric and composition scholars to value various ways of knowing and to study overlooked histories in their classrooms. Lastly, this research provides the possibilities for people to learn about the experiences of migration and the ill effects of immigration policies on fellow humans.

Full text

Abstract:

One Hundred Good Wishes Quilts (OHGWQ) are a contemporary form of material culture that commemorates an American family’s adoption of a Chinese child. Made and/or coordinated by parents in the midst of adopting, OHGWQ are community-based objects constructed from fabrics donated by a large number of family, friends, and acquaintances. A practice that spread largely via the internet starting around 2000, the OHGWQ tradition is based upon a host of phenomena and contexts: the sudden growth of China adoption in the late 1990s and 2000s; indigenous patchwork and quilting practices in China and the U.S.; the Western history of cultural appropriation; and present-day forms of web-based communication. Drawing on interviews with nearly two dozen adoptive parents, this research utilised a phenomenological approach to explore the experience of making a OHGWQ, a form of material culture never previously studied. The work explores how OHGWQ function on the individual or personal level, in such ways as celebrating a significant moment in a family’s history, making the adoption process seem less onerous and interminable, building support for a non-traditional method of family-building, and giving makers the opportunity to participate in a form of “everyday creativity” (Gauntlett 2011). The thesis also examines the OHGWQ’s place and meaning in the lives of those who organise and/or make the projects and within American society and culture at large. In particular, the thesis demonstrates that the OHGWQ project plays several “in-between” roles, functioning as a link or transitional device in each case: between being a non-maker and a maker, between disparate Eastern/Western cultural practices, between various groups of people, and between pre- and post-adoption senses of identity for the family as a whole and potentially for the adoptee. In essence, it is argued that OHGWQ connect people, cultures, and ideas.
