Previous issue date: 2015-08-17<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>In this research we will discuss the family role and how Suetonius, in his work De Vita
Caesarum, makes use of that to construct a negative memory of the Emperor Nero. For that
we will observe the imperial ambience at which the biographer was inserted and we will also
try to understand how that, with its political program, influenced the work writting. Because it
is a research specially toward to family role, we will have an unfolding about the family
centrality in many roman domestic attitudes and the public effects of such actions. However,
for considering the biography of an Emperor, we will focus on the way such family values
have their potentiality enlarged and modified in imperial family. Then we will see in which
aspects Suetonius arranges them in order to present the searched nefarious image about Nero.<br>Neste trabalho discutiremos o papel da família e como Suetônio, em sua obra De Vita
Caesarum, se utiliza desta para a construção de uma memória negativa do Imperador Nero.
Para tanto observaremos o ambiente imperial no qual o biógrafo estava inserido e também
buscaremos compreender como tal, com seu programa político, influenciou a escrita da obra.
Por se tratar de uma pesquisa voltada especialmente para o papel da família, teremos um
desdobramento acerca da centralidade familiar nas diversas atitudes domésticas de um
romano e os efeitos públicos dessas ações. Contudo, por considerarmos a biografia de um
Imperador, iremos focar no modo como tais valores familiares tem sua potencialidade
ampliada e modificada na família imperial. Então veremos em que aspectos Suetônio os
arranja a fim de apresentar a buscada imagem nefasta acerca de Nero.

Charles, Christie Marie. "Work-Family Conflict: Does Romance Matter?" ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3595.
Full textAbstract:
Research has shown that being in a romantic relationship has related negatively with work-family conflict. Using social exchange theory, the investment model, and role theory, this study examined the relationships among the dimensions of perceived partner support, romantic relationship interdependence, and work-family conflict. A sample of 192 adults in paid employment, currently involved in a romantic relationship, were recruited from SurveyMonkey Contribute. Study participants completed online a demographic survey, the revised Support in Intimate Relationships Rating Scale (SIRRS), the Investment Model Scale, and work-family conflict scales. Correlation analyses showed that work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict correlated negatively with commitment and positively with quality of alternatives as hypothesized. As hypothesized, regression analyses showed that quality of alternatives and informational support explained unique variance in work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict and that commitment explained unique variance in family-to-work conflict. PROCESS mediation analyses showed partial support for the hypothesis of mediation. Quality of alternatives and commitment mediated the relationships between esteem/emotional support and family-to-work conflict and instrumental/tangible support and family-to-work conflict. Quality of alternatives mediated the relationships between informational support and work-to-family conflict, informational support and family-to-work conflict, and instrumental/tangible support and work-to-family conflict. The findings contribute to positive social change by offering added knowledge about the occurrence of work-family issues in the lives of employees representing a large percentage of the workforce.

len, Esther Helen Esther. "Plautus and the sentimental ideal of the Roman family." Thesis, Durham University, 2011. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/809/.
Full textAbstract:
In 1991 Suzanne Dixon published an article that suggested that, from the late Republic onwards, it is possible to detect a sentimental ideal of family life at Rome. She also argued that there is a significant paucity of affectionate terminology in Plautus' mid-republican works. My thesis looks for traces of a Roman sentimental ideal in Plautus' comedies. I analyse his plays, being careful to interpret them in the light of comic convention and paying attention to the varying forms of comic drama, and I search for sentimental themes related to wives and husbands, parents and children, the home, and slaves and outsiders. I consider the evidence and arguments used by Dixon and other historians and also look at modern examples of sentimentality (in literature and in other cultural material), using these as a tool to measure sentimentality in Plautus. My overall contention is that Plautus' metatheatrical plays deliberately explored and exploited the sentimental ideology of his original audience. In fact, some of the works’ humour depended upon the spectators' knowledge of the ideal and its claims upon their attention; Plautus wryly exposed the tensions that existed between the ideal and the realities of daily life. Plautus’ plays were successful and obviously communicated well with his contemporaries. I therefore conclude that sentimental ideology was well known in Rome prior to the late Republic – that it is an enduring concept, discernible in many cultures and eras.

Full textAbstract:
Cette etude est nee d'une interrogation sur la nature du romanesque contemporain tel qu'il parait s'affirmer dans une partie de l'oeuvre de claude simon et de danilo kis : la route des flandres (1960), histoire (1967), les georgiques (1980) et l'acacia (1989) du premier ; la trilogie le cirque de famille : chagrins precoces (1969), jardin, cendre (1965), sablier (1972) du second. Elle est articulee autour de trois axes principaux qui tentent de mettre en lumiere et d'expliquer les notions de roman de formation litteraire, de quete romanesque et de frontiere de la fiction. A partir d'une analyse simultanee de la forme et de l'intrigue proprement dite, nous montrons que les romans de claude simon et de danilo kis peuvent etre lus comme des << romans de formation litteraire >>. Cela nous permet de saisir la motivation qui a inspire et guide les deux ecrivains : la quete romanesque du secret de la malediction qui pese sur la famille des deux narrateurs auteurs (georges, andreas sam) au point de la detruire. Enfin, nous montrons comment ces deux recherches menent, en derniere instance, a frontiere de la fiction, car il faut l'admettre : si dans notre corpus le recit est interroge dans sapuissance de dire, il l'est aussi dans sa capacite a former une vision du monde en simulant par endroits, et d'une maniere delicate au point d'etre invisible a la premiere lecture, le discours considere communement comme non fictionnel (en l'occurrence, celui de l'historien). En un mot : cette etude s'emploie a montrer que la representation desenchantee et resolument pessimiste du monde - consequence d'un mal d'etre profond lie a la perte des parents et a une experience intime particulierement violente de la guerre - est fondamentalement enrichie, c'est-a-dire rendue autre, nouvelle, voire inedite, par la facon dont le roman en tant que genre et l'ecriture en tant qu'ars poetica sont assimiles et renouveles par claude simon et danilo kis.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Family businesses are shaping the world’s economy through contributions to establishing jobs, creating wealth, and competitiveness, correspondingly being influenced by the quality of the business environment. Family business branding is useful to understand how to leverage their unique resources and create a competitive advantage, these being shaped by the context. The historical events and economic factors of Romania are influencing the decision of family firms to portray their family in their branding endeavours in order to become more competitive. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to understand the reasoning behind the Romanian family companies’ decision to promote their family aspect in their brand and how do family business identity, image, and reputation relate to the brand in the context of Romania. For guidance, two research questions were developed in order to gain valuable and significant insights for this thesis. Method: Ontology – Relativism; Epistemology – Social constructionism; Approach – Inductive; Design – Exploratory; Methodological choice – Qualitative; Time Horizon – Cross-sectional; Strategy – Case-study; Data collection – In-depth Interviews; Sampling – Non-probability Purposive Samples based on criteria (eleven respondents); Data Analysis – Content Analysis. Conclusion: From findings, it can be concluded that the context of Romania has a direct impact on family businesses and on how they are conducting their family brand promotion. Even though it is considered to have a positive impact, few Romanian family businesses actively market themselves as a family business. The predominant factors affecting the decisional processes, which are shaped by the contextual effects according to the three brand dimensions, have been comprised in a model of influential factors.

Full textAbstract:
The number of families choosing to adopt a child internationally in the United States has increased exponentially on an annual basis (Johnson, 1997; Miller, 2000). The purpose of this study was to understand the adoption process experiences of families who have adopted a child between the ages of three and five years old from Russia or Romania after 1992. In this clinical sample, all participantsâ adopted children had been referred for and undergone neuropsychological, medical, speech, and/or language evaluation. Specifically, the research questions were designed to help therapists understand the role mental health care professionals, schools, family members, and friends played in the adoption process and how the participantsâ experiences compared with their preadoptive expectations. Twenty families were interviewed and several observations were conducted. Data analysis consisted of thematic analysis which elicited codes and themes across the interviews. This studyâ s findings suggest that: 1) parents would have found more preparation before adoption helpful in the process; 2) health care professionals and schools need to be better educated about problems, concerns, and appropriate treatments specific to post-institutionalized children; 3) raising (a) special needs child(ren) puts significant strain on the caregiver(s) and their significant relationships; and 4) families with special needs children are extremely resilient. These findings are important for education and healthcare professionals, families who are planning to adopt internationally in the future and current adoptive families.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) et Eileen Chang (1920-1995), deux écrivaines du 20e siècle, ont des sources spécifiques d’inspiration : Duras, née en Indochine ; Chang, née à Shanghai. Enfance et expérience familiale constituent l’arrière-plan de la plupart de leurs œuvres. Les mondes que décrivent ces œuvres sont, en conséquence, définies par la douleur et par la souffrance – soit personnelle, soit collective. Le thème familial l’emporte dans les romans de chacun des écrivains. Il permet d’offrir une lecture psychanalytique de bien des romans des deux écrivains, et de les commenter selon le roman familial qui caractérise Duras et Chang. Mais l’enfant et les secrets de la famille, l’importance de l’image de la mère, ne sont pas le seul arrière-plan de l’œuvre de Duras et de Chang. Les deux écrivaines sont conscientes des conditions sociales et politiques qui prévalent et de la situation des femmes. En conséquence, une lecture psychanalytique des deux écrivaines ne doit pas ignorer ces conditions et la lucidité de chacune des écrivaines. Il doit rendre compte du lien entre l’histoire familiale et l’aptitude des deux écrivaines à traiter de questions plus larges<br>Marguerite Duras (1914-1996) and Eileen Chang (1920-1995), two women writers of the 20th century show specific sources for their inspiration : Duras – was from Indochina, and Chang – was from Shanghai; childhood and family experiences offer the background of most of their works. The worlds they describe are consequently defined by pain and suffering – either individual or collective. The family theme prevails in the works of both writers. It allows to offer a psychoanalytic reading of many of their novels of each writer, and to comment them by reference to the family romance which characterizes Duras and Chang. But childhood, family secrets, importance of the mother image, etc., are not the only background of Duras and Chang’s works. Both writers were fully aware of the political and social conditions which prevailed, and of the women’s situation. Consequently, the psychoanalytic reading of both writers should not neglect these conditions and the lucidity of both writers. This reading should account for the connection between the family history of both writers and their ability to address broader issues

Davies, Elizabeth. "A practical theology of family ministry : the role of the Diocesan Coordinator of Family Ministry in the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales." Thesis, Anglia Ruskin University, 2016. http://arro.anglia.ac.uk/702163/.
Full textAbstract:
Diocesan Coordinators are the principal drivers of activities within the Catholic Church in England and Wales to sustain and nourish healthy marriage and family life. This is the first study of their professional context, practices and purpose, further informed by North American accounts of family ministry in Congregational, Reformed and Roman Catholic settings, mainly from the 1980’s. This study aimed to better understand the Coordinator role so as to inform capacity-building efforts within dioceses for family ministry. This is an inductive study using the methodology of qualitative description. Fourteen diocesan coordinators participated in an online survey. Job descriptions, person specifications and diocesan vision statements were reviewed. Four Coordinators were selected for telephone interview. The tripartite conceptual framework draws on the Church’s understanding of family ministry, the diocesan-parish relationship and the ecclesial identity of the family. This study reveals that diocesan Coordinators are primarily responsible for training and networking activities with volunteers engaged in family ministry. Work with families in crisis is largely unacknowledged by their employers. Relationships with parishes are ambivalent. Coordinators tend to develop supra-parish networks of marriage preparation or parenting facilitators, rather than processes which enable autonomous parish family ministry to develop. Diocesan structures of support, including guiding visions for family ministry, are weak, compounding a lack of training for their role. Nonetheless Coordinators have developed important pragmatic approaches and moral frameworks to manage the sensitivities of this ministry. Their practice has implications for broader Church efforts to pastorally accompany families following publication of Amoris Laetitia, the pope’s post-synodal document on marriage and family life. More attention to recording practice is strongly recommended in order to facilitate reflective practice, particularly on pragmatic approaches and moral frameworks. Coordinators and their dioceses need greater theological competence, especially regarding the ecclesial identity of the family, in order to better serve the complexity and realise the potential of parish family ministry.

Hofer, Kurt R. "The family at court in literature and art during the reign of Philip IV." Thesis, Tulane University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3622703.
Full textAbstract:
<p> This dissertation examines representations of the family in art and literature of the Spanish court during Philip IV's reign. I contend that depictions of royal and noble families in court settings—and by artists who resided at court—spoke to the monarchy's social and political concerns at a time of imperial crisis. Family is understood here not as a fixed entity, but as a mobile cultural construct that bent, in Golden Age Spain, to address a variety of needs. The emotional and theological intricacies of a prince's marriage indicated the preparedness or ineptitude of a king to be; a noblewoman's marriage abroad to a foreign prince embodied Spain's struggles to contain the Thirty Years' War; the depiction of an artist's family in a royal palace demonstrated the ambitions of the courtier-artist. </p><p> Chapter 1 examines Vélez de Guevara's play <i>Reinar después de morir</i> (1635). I propose that the play's thematic interest lies in an attempt to reconcile the strictures of dynastic marriage—marriage for reasons of state—with the necessities of emotional fulfilment and mutual trust of marriage partners suggested in contemporary conduct manuals. Chapter 2 reads two short stories from María de Zayas's <i>Desengaños amorosos</i> (1648), "Mal presagio casar de lejos," and "Estragos que causa el vicio," as nationalist allegories. I suggest that the families Zayas depicts are metaphors for a Spanish national family, belagured in European theaters of war and beset by domestic conflicts such as the Portuguese and Catalonian uprisings of the 1640s. In Chapter 3 I explore a painting, <i> La familia del pintor</i> (1665), by Juan Bautista del Mazo, son-in-law of Diego Velázquez and heir to his post as painter of the king. I compare Mazo's <i>La familia del pintor</i> to Velázquez <i> Las meninas</i>. Mazo's proud portrayal of his own biological family and of a dyanasty of court artists indicates that the painting is not merely dervivative of his father-in-law's masterpiece, <i>Las meninas</i>; rather, Mazo has a pictorial agenda all his own, one that includes the social advancement of the court artist and of a multitude of heirs seeking the king's patronage in other careers.</p>

Foca, Liliana. "The effects of family relationships on children of prisoners : a study of Romania." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2018. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/34570/.
Full textAbstract:
Whilst extensive research has been conducted on prisoners’ families in the last twenty years, it has mainly focused on the effects of parental imprisonment on either the children, their non-imprisoned carers, or women partners of male prisoners. While research concludes that imprisonment has far-reaching effects on families in general, less is known about the impact of parental incarceration on family relationships and, more specifically, on how different relationships within the same family unit are affected. The purpose of this study, which was conducted in Romania, is to explore the effects of family relationships on children of prisoners in particular. In doing so, children’s and mothers’ perspectives are analysed with respect to how fathers’ incarceration has affected them at the individual level. It then explores the impact of fathers’ imprisonment on the mother-child and mother-father relationships, highlighting their effects on children’s wellbeing. Parenting practices are also discussed in the context of parental imprisonment. The findings drawn from 15 interviews with children and 16 interviews with mothers suggest that fathers’ incarceration affects not only children and mothers separately, but also the relationships within the family. The relationship between the child and his/her mother goes through changes in terms of emotional support, communication, trust and freedom (for teenagers), and household responsibilities. Mothers’ and children’s narratives on the marital relationship before and during incarceration reveal that parents’ relationships are mainly focused on the children’s wellbeing and the household and that children have positive views on parenthood. However, this narrative differences where where children and mothers were victimized by the incarcerated father prior to imprisonment. The findings of the study are further explored using Bowlby’s (1969, 1973, 1980) attachment theory andBelsky’s (1984) model of competent parental functioning. The thesis concludes with ideas for future research, and implications for theory and policies.

Morsy, Ibrahim. "La famille dans les romans de Naguib Mahfouz et Hervé Bazin." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030089.
Full textAbstract:
Dans cette ambiance contemporaine de peur pour l'avenir et d'instabilité économique et même culturelle, pour la majorité des Français et des Egyptiens, la famille est considérée comme un refuge sûr devant les problèmes qui se posent à l'homme à l'époque moderne. Elle vient en tête des grandes valeurs que Français et Egyptiens respectent énormément. C'est dans la famille que s'apprend le respect de l'autre et que se construisent les premières expériences et les premiers apprentissages. C'est là que se transmettent les valeurs, que s'éveillent et s'éduquent la créativité, la soif de savoir. Bien que Naguib Mahfouz et Hervé Bazin appartiennent à deux cultures différentes, les problèmes de la famille qu'ils traitent restent souvent les mêmes : problèmes des rapports entre parents-enfants, succès et difficultés du couple, place et rôle de la femme, sexualité, religion, mariage, divorce, solidarité familiale, préjugés, tabous. . . Etc. Naguib Mahfouz et Hervé Bazin font partie des meilleurs écrivains qui savent exprimer à la perfection les espoirs, les ambitions de leurs sociétés. Ils ont admirablement réussi à décrire la vie familiale et l'évolution des mœurs au sein de la famille égyptienne et française et à suivre cette vie familiale dans ses joies, ses deuils, ses difficultés ainsi que les événements politiques qui ont transformé tous les aspects de la vie en Egypte et en France. Dans leurs romans, Naguib Mahfouz et Hervé Bazin excellent à présenter une peinture réaliste de la vie quotidienne dans les quartiers populaires du Caire et dans l'ouest de la France. Cette étude a pour objectif de suivre, à la fois, l'évolution des deux écrivains et l'évolution sociale et familiale dans les sociétés française et égyptienne dès la Grande Guerre jusque dans les années quatre-vingts<br>Nowadays in an unstable period for economy and culture, the family is seen as a mean of security for French and Egyptian people. It is the most important value that everybody admits. In our family indeed we learn how to respect each other, we have our first lessons, we receive a moral in heritage from our parents and education. Thought Naguib Mahfouz and Hervé Bazin are issued from different cultures, they often talk about the same problems concerning the family: the relations between parents and children, the difficulty in the couple, the place and the part of the woman, sexuality, religion, marriage, divorce, solidarity, prejudices, taboos, etc. . . Naguib Mahfouz and Hervé Bazin are among the best writers, who express perfectly the hopes and the ambitions of their peoples. They marvelously well describe the life of families, and the evolution of the habits and customs inside the same family, painting its days of joy, of sadness and its difficulties through political events, which brought changes in the way of living in Egypt and in France. Naguib Mahfouz and Hervé Bazin both excel in giving a realistic picture of every day life in the popular places or boroughs of Cairo or of west of France. The purpose of this study is to follow the evolution of these tow novelists and also the changes of the family and society in France and in Egypt from the beginning of he Great War to the eighties

Full textAbstract:
La famille, depuis toujours, a inspiré de grandes œuvres romanesques qui, souvent, mettent en avant le rapport entre les générations. En effet, le motif de la famille est sans cesse réinvesti par les auteurs quelle que soit leur nationalité ou l’époque qu’ils retracent. Almudena Grandes appartient à cette catégorie d’écrivains qui donne une place de premier choix à l’unité familiale. Bien que celle-ci soit récurrente dans sa trajectoire littéraire, la critique académique, qui pourtant a abordé de nombreux aspects de son œuvre, n’a jamais entrepris une réelle étude de fond à ce sujet. Cette thématique nous étant apparue comme essentielle dans l’écriture grandésienne, nous nous sommes donc intéressée à la cellule familiale dans trois de ses romans : Malena es un nombre de tango, Los aires difíciles et El corazón helado. Dans notre corpus, la famille est, avant tout, un groupe véhiculant des valeurs qui n’apparaît pas tel un simple miroir du microcosme sociétal – cette comparaison, nous semble-t-il, est l’une des plus usuelles dans le domaine littéraire. En effet, les différentes familles analysées sont non seulement le vecteur d’un système de valeurs idéologiques mais elles s’insèrent également dans une hiérarchie des personnages qui génère un deuxième système de valeurs parfois en accord ou en désaccord avec le premier.Ainsi allons-nous montrer les stratégies mises en œuvre par la romancière pour faire adhérer le lecteur à son système narratif.Afin de rendre compte de l’intention d’Almudena Grandes, nous avons appréhendé la famille sous différentes perspectives. Les modèles et contre-modèles familiaux montrent l’élaboration d’un système antagonique fondé sur des valeurs contraires : les unes patriarcales et conservatrices, les autres républicaines. Mais cette partie met aussi en avant comment des personnages cherchent à construire une famille, dépourvue du lien du sang ou de l’union maritale, lorsque leur vraie famille est totalement défaillante voire inexistante. Les différentes figures familiales, la mère, le père et la fratrie, dévoilent une hiérarchie des personnages, a priori, à sens univoque et sont traitées avec déférence ou animosité par l’instance narrative. Enfin, la partie sur le secret familial met à nu toute l’ambiguïté morale de certains personnages dont l’être et le paraître sont en conflit et qui, dans deux cas sur trois, finissent par être démasqués. La découverte du secret, quand elle a lieu – seul un personnage parvient à préserver son secret et réussit à ne jamais dévoiler qui il est réellement – oblige les personnages à se redéfinir et leur permet d’entrer dans un processus de résilience libérateur.8<br>Family has always inspired great novels which often highlight the relationship between the different generations. The subject of family is indeed constantly reinvested by authors regardless of their nationality or the period they depict. Almudena Grandes belongs to such category of writers and gives a paramount role to the family unit. Although a recurring topic in her literary trajectory, it has never been thoroughly studied by critics who yet analyzed many aspects of her work. Because such topic seemed crucial to us in Grandes’s writing, we focused on the family unit in three of her novels, Malena es un nombre de tango, Los aires difíciles and El corazón helado. In our corpus, family is, first and foremost, a group transmitting values which does not appear as a mere reflection of the social microcosm – such comparison being, we believe, a very common one in the field of literary theory. The families under study do not only convey a system of ideological values, but they also belong to a hierarchy of characters which creates a second system of values in turns in agreement with or in opposition to the first one. We thus intend to show the strategies used by Almudena Grandes to impose her own narrative system to the reader.In order to describe Almudena Grandes’s intentions, we decided to approach family through several prisms. Family models and alternative models show the rise of an antagonistic system based on contradictory values – patriarchal and conservative on the one hand, and republican on the other hand. But this chapter also highlights how some characters try to recreate a family outside blood ties or marriage bond, when their actual family is completely perverted or nonexistent. The different family figures – mother, father and siblings – build up an apparently unidirectional hierarchy of characters treated with deference or hostility by the narrative instance. Finally, the chapter related to family secrets unveils the moral ambiguity of some characters – torn apart between being and appearing – who, in two thirds of the cases, are eventually exposed. The discovery of the secret, if any – one character only manages to keep his secret and never confesses who he truly is – forces the characters to redefine themselves and gives them a chance to go through a liberating resilience process

Full textAbstract:
The depiction of family ties is one of the core elements of Swahili novels in Tanzania, especially in the post-Independence, socialist period, conveying all the contradictions of that social and cultural context. On one hand the representation of family relationships in terms of tense and aggressive behaviour (Mlacha 1987: 82) reflects the clashes of those years, between town and countryside, between genders and between different generations. On the other hand, the image of a new family - like for instance Chonya, Masika and her baby in Ndyanao Balisidya’s novel Shida (1975) - stands as a commitment to an alternative society, a dream of a better life inspired by Ujamaa which marked the Swahili prose of the 1970’s (Mbughuni 1980: 92).
Said A. Mohamed, after his first novels which dealt with the colonial and pre-revolutionary past, turned his attention to contemporary society, but has continued to develop the idea of the family as a symbolic space where relationships between the characters articulate the inequalities and the conflicts within Zanzibari society. His literary discourse, as will become clear in the following pages, brilliantly investigates the deep roots and the countless facets of authoritarianism in contemporary Zanzibari society, depicting a gallery of fathers - in a biological and in a metaphorical sense – who are despotic, immoral, hypocritical, and increasingly cynical.

Full textAbstract:
To date there has been little research on family changes caused by having a child of 0 to 7 years old with autism in the family. This thesis examines the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the context of the family and compared families' experiences in Ireland and Romania. This research took a family system perspective, exploring how families with children on the autism spectrum function during the particularly stressful period of the diagnosis process and thereafter. This Ph.D. thesis contains the results of a comparative study of Irish and Romanian families of children with ASD. The analysis of the similarities and differences of how families who are raising a child with autism function during the diagnostic process is expected to provide a better understanding of the overall experience of families and to improve sensitivity during the diagnostic process. Fifty-four families and their children were recruited from two institutions: 24 families from Ireland (Dublin, Cherry Orchard Hospital) and 30 families from Romania (Timisoara, Cas a Faenza). The children were aged between 2 and 7 years. During the process of data collection, a relatively large number of Irish families refused to participate in this research, or accepted the invitation initially and then later refused it or stated that they are very 'busy'. A total number of 77 Irish families were contacted by the researcher and asked to participate in this study. Only 24 families agreed to participate and 53 refused to participate. In contrast, all of the 30 Romanian families who were contacted and asked to participate in this research accepted. This comparative research study is unique as no previous studies have focused on the impact of ASD diagnostic on family systems across two cultures in Europe. The results showed that families of a child with ASD in Ireland had different experiences during the diagnostic process of their child, compared to the Romanian families. Differences were also found between the two groups with regard to the role of mother and father in raising a child with ASD, parents' worries when received the diagnosis, parents' awareness/knowledge about ASD, and parents' level of involvement. A semi-structured interview was used to analyse similarities and differences between the two groups. The duration of the diagnostic process was significantly different between the two countries. Aspects of family functioning were tested using the family adaptability and cohesion evaluation scale IV (FACES IV) (Olson et aI., 2010). The results showed similarities and differences between the two groups in terms of mean scores for family cohesion, flexibility, communication and satisfaction. Present findings should be used by policymakers in improving parent's accessibility to ASD services for their children (diagnostic and post-diagnostic) in both countries. There is a crucial need to develop specialized services for children with ASD. The findings indicate that both instruments used (semi structured interview and FACES IV) provided valuable information about family functioning and family experience during the diagnostic process. The limitations of the study were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Hector Malot débuta dans la carrière des lettres, à la fin des années 1850, au moment où se jouait la bataille réaliste. Jeune homme progressiste, à la sensibilité de gauche, il se rangea du côté des modernes. Ses premiers romans portent les traces de cet engagement. A la fin de sa carrière, il affirmait encore son adhésion au mouvement. Toutefois, persuadé que toute réalité ne peut être sujet de l'oeuvre d'art, tenant de la tradition narrative, il suivit une voie qui fut sienne. Dans la lignée d'H. De Balzac, il souscrivit à l'étude de caractère, mettant en valeur l'homme moral. Le peu de place qu'il accorda au déterminisme et à la physiologie le fit rejeter par E. Zola au rang des idéalistes. Son oeuvre, largement diffusée par le biais de la presse et des collections bon marché, fit de lui un romancier populaire. C'est sur ce plan qu'il tabla pour faire de ses romans un lieu de résonance : résonance des questions morales, politiques et sociales qui parcoururent le siècle. Dans une des chroniques littéraires qu'il rédigea au début de sa carrière, l'écrivain manifeste son admiration pour C. Dickens, qui sut, selon lui, amadouer son public pour lui donner à voir, sans le choquer, les travers de la société victorienne et l'inciter à les redresser. C'est là que réside pour lui le réalisme : dans une littérature en prise sur les problèmes de l'époque, capable d'agir sur eux en retour. L'étude du roman En Famille confirme le parti-pris. S'il ne fut composé qu'après un travail de documentation et d'enquête, dans le respect de la démarche requise pour un roman réaliste, il fut conçu à partir d'un mouvement dans lequel imagination et narration tinrent la première place. Les lieux calqués sur la réalité s'ouvrent, de façon plus affichée encore que dans d'autres romans réalistes, sur un espace rêvé qui sert de toile de fond à la fable. Le roman n'en est pas moins relié aux événements qui préoccupèrent les Français dans les années 1890 : la misère ouvrière et les risques d'embrasement social qui se faisaient jour. H. Malot évoque la situation et invite, pour y faire face, à faire preuve d'humanisme en suivant la voie du paternalisme<br>H Malot’s career as a writer started in the late 1850’s at a time when the battle for Realism was going on. A young progressionist amenable to leftist views, he sided with the Moderns. His early novels bear witness to this commitment. Towards the end of his career he still proclaimed his support for the movement. Yet, as a proponent of the narrative tradition, he was convinced that any reality could not serve as the subject matter for an artwork, so he went his own way. Following Balzac’s example he supported character study that emphasized the moral man. E Zola rejected him as an idealist because of the small emphasis he gave to determinism and physiology. Malot’s writings, widely distributed through the press and cheap series made him a popular novelist. He relied on these medium in order for his novels to echo the moral, social and political issues that prevailed over the century. In a literary column that he wrote at the beginning of his career, he expressed his admiration for Dickens who, in Malot's own words, managed to coax his readers into seeing the shortcomings of Victorian society without shocking them and prodded them into redressing those failings. For Malot, this is where realism lies : in a literature that is in touch with the issues of the day, and with the potential to generate a reaction to them. The study of En Famille confirms the stance taken by H MALOT. If the book was not written until documentation had been gathered and research carried out in line with the procedure required for a realist novel it was devised out of a move in which imagination and narrative play a leading part. In a way that is even more overt than in other realist novels, genuine places open up onto a dreamlike world which serves as a backdrop to the story. The novel is nonetheless linked to the events that were foremost on French people’s minds in the 1890’s : poverty among workers and the risks of social unrest that were looming. Malot paints a picture of the situation and in order to confront it urges readers to display humanity in a paternalistic way

El propósito de esta investigación es estudiar las intenciones de crecimiento de las empresas de nuevos empresarios en una economía en transformación.

El estudio encuentra evidencia a favor de la existencia de 1) dos dimensiones conceptuales asociadas con las fuerzas socio-culturales que dan forma a la transición económica y política del país y 2) los conceptos teóricos asociados con el crecimiento y desarrollo socio-económico basado en la creación de empresas. Para ser específicos, la tesis investiga las relaciones entre la creación de empresas, la dinámica familiar y el desarrollo de las empresas privadas durante la transición socio-económica que ha tenido lugar en Rumania.<br/>La pregunta de investigación es la siguiente: "¿Cuáles son los niveles y los planes específicos de expansión entre los nuevos empresarios en Rumania, una nación del antiguo bloque soviético?; ¿Cuáles son las variables que predicen estos planes de expansión y cómo el sistema de valores del entorno social y la familia, especialmente, afectan a estos planes de crecimiento?<br/>El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar con detalle las dimensiones individuales, grupales y del entorno que tienen un impacto en el desarrollo de las nuevas empresas a través de los planes de crecimiento y desarrollo de los empresarios. Los objetivos específicos, entonces, son los siguientes: 1) identificar los planes de crecimiento de las nuevas empresas que los empresarios quieren poner en marcha, 2) determinar los niveles de intensidad con los cuales los empresarios desean aplicar sus planes de crecimiento y 3) investigar el impacto que la dinámica familiar tiene en las intenciones de crecimiento planificadas.<br/>En primer lugar se desarrolla un modelo teórico multidimensional acerca de los predoctores de los planes de expansión. Concretamente, se identifica un conjunto de variables y su relación con los planes de expansión de los empresarios. Tres dimensiones teóricas forman el modelo predictivo: 1) variables a nivel micro relacionadas con la personalidad del empresario, 2) variables a nivel intermedio relacionadas con la dinámica social, especialmente la familiar y 3) variables a nivel macro relacionadas con el entorno en el cual el empresario desarrolla su labor.<br/>Los resultados de una encuesta realizada a 410 empresario rumanos es utilizada para poner a prueba el modelo teórico multidimensional. Los datos fueron recogidos a partir de la encuesta del 'perfil del empresario' que ha sido utilizada en Europa, Asia y América. La muestra incluye una gran variedad de grupos industriales y es muy rica en detalles acerca del comportamiento del empresario. Para su análisis se ha utilizado una combinación de técnicas multivariantes de investigación que han permitido obtener las dimensiones teóricas no observables a partir de los indicadores suministrados por la muestra y después analizar las relaciones establecidas.<br>The focus of this study is to investigate the entrepreneurial growth intentions and expansion plans of new entrepreneurs in a transforming economy. As a focused method of investigation one country, Romania is examined.

Specifically the dissertation investigates the relationships between entrepreneurship, family dynamics and private enterprise development during socio-economic transition in Romania.<br/>The general research question posed is "What are the levels, and specific types of expansion plans found among new entrepreneurs in the former Soviet Bloc nation of Romania; what are the predictors of these expansion plans; and how do the environmental value systems and family dynamics impact planned growth?"<br/>The objective of this study is to examine thoroughly the different individual, group and environmental dimensions which impact entrepreneurial venture development via planned growth intentions and expansion plans. The study's central objectives are to 1) to identify what types of planned growth initiatives entrepreneurs intend to pursue, 2) to ascertain the levels of intensity entrepreneurs have towards planned growth, and 3) to investigate the impact family dynamics have on planned growth intentions.<br/>A theoretical multidimensional model of the predictors of expansion plans is developed. Specifically, a set of exogenous variables comprising a sequence of relationships are hypothesized to be related to entrepreneurial expansion plans. Three dimensions comprise the predictive model; 1) Micro level variables associated with the entrepreneur's personality, 2) Intermediate level variables related to societal dynamics, including family involvement and 3) Macro level variables affiliated with the comprehensive environment entrepreneurs operate in.<br/>The results of a survey of 410 Romanian entrepreneurs is used to test the multidimensional model. Data has been collected via the Entrepreneurial Profile Questionnaire which has been validated in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. The sample includes a rich cross section across a variety of industrial groups. Data is analyzed using a combination of descriptive and relational research techniques. A series of multivariate statistical procedures is employed to analyze the data and test the multidimensional model.

Full textAbstract:
Les personnes ayant subi la colonisation, survécu aux troubles qui précèdent les indépendances, et pu profiter du retrait colonial en adoptant ses modèles ne sont pas en peine d’identité. Mais ceux qui n’ont pu le faire faute d’opportunité ou d’adaptabilité, ou du fait de leur âge, sont aptes à rejeter ces modèles requérant l’abandon des traditions vestimentaires ou autres, celles qui leur conféreraient une identité, croient-ils, si la collectivité redevenait homogène. Zahra la triste protagoniste de ʿAm al-fil, de la Marocaine Laylā Abū Zayd, ettrois des quatre vieux protagonistes de ʿUššāq Bayya, du Tunisien al-Sālimī, partagent cette hantise de pureté culturelle au point de se rendre encore plus malades qu’ils ne le sont, surtout à propos de l’argent qui « pourrit tout ». Zahra n’est ni tendre ni sensuelle, et son mariage cesse quand son mari, soudain enrichi, prend une maîtresse ; et les trois autres entretiennent secrètement un fantasme sexuel sur une même femme sans qu’elle le sache, ce qui perce au jour tandis que le fils du quatrième, un émigré enrichi en Allemagne, décide de l’épouser. Zahra finit par se tourner exclusivement vers Dieu pour s’assurer le paradis tandis que les vieillards vivent dans la terreur de l’enfer. Que ceux qui ont eu la jeunesse la plus douce en guérissent avant de mourir désigne la véritable altérité. C’est la perversité d’une tradition que valident des croyances religieuses terrifiantes, laquelle empêche l’amitié entre garçons et filles et les marie sans souci des goûts et aptitudes, puis invite les hommes à maltraiter femme et enfants pour compenser. Comme peu guérissent de leur enfance, le cycle recommence et la tradition se perpétue<br>Those undergoing colonization, surviving pre-independence turmoil, and profiting from the colonizer’s withdrawal by adopting its models, are not looking for an identity. Yet those who are not adaptable, blind to opportunity, or old, are prone to reject models requiring giving up clothing or other such aspects of tradition which, they believe, would grant them a sense of identity – if only their community became homogenous again. The pitiful protagonist in ʿAmal-fil (Year of the Elephant), by Morrocan author Laylā Abū Zayd, and three of the four aged protagonists in ʿUššāq Bayya (The Lovers of Bayya), by Tunisian author Al-Sālimī, have a fear of cultural pollution so acute that they make themselves even sicker than they already were, especially when it comes to money which “rots everything”. Zahra is neither softhearted nor sensuous, and her marriage is brought to an end when her suddenly rich husband takes a lover; and the other three secretly nurture a sexual fantasy about the same woman while the son of the fourth, a visiting émigré who grew rich in Germany, decides to marry her. Zahra eventually turns to God to assure a place for herself in heaven whereas the old men agonize in the dread of hell. By dismissing this fear before they die, the two men who had the easiest youth point to the nature of genuine alterity in their community. It is the perversity of a tradition validated by terrifying religious beliefs, which prevents friendships among adolescent boys and girls, then marries them off with no consideration for their tastes and aptitudes, and then invites the men to brutalize wife and children in compensation. Since very few ever recover from their childhood, the cycle starts again and the tradition survives

This paper explores the meaning of condoms for six sexually active, college-educated women. Analysis of ethnographic interviews addresses four facets of their experiences with condoms. This report discusses (1) the condom in relation to the (female) body, and (2) condom use as a conjunction of doing sex and gender identity. Informant-generated topics are (3) the learning and sharing of condom knowledge, and (4) the mention of condoms in life stories. To contextualize these highly individual experiences, the author initially presents popular and historical meanings of condoms. After a brief review of condoms in historical discourses of birth control and sexually-transmitted diseases, condom meanings in current AIDS-inspired research are presented. The conclusion suggests how this qualitative data could inform sexual health education and condom promotion campaigns.

This paper examines similarities between imagery of the countryside and the “country life” in both the poetry of Augustan Rome and contemporary American country music. It analyzes the themes of agriculture, poverty, family, and piety, and how they are used in both sets of sources to create an idealized countryside. This ideal, when contrasted with negative portrayals of urban life and non-idealized rural life, endorses an ideology that is opposed to wealth and that emphasizes the security and stability of the idyllic countryside. This ideology common to both may stem from the historical contexts of these two eras, revealing that Augustan Rome and modern America have unexpected similarities.

Full textAbstract:
Within Gothic literature, the mother is frequently missing. In Charles Brockden Brown’s Edgar Huntly, Edgar Allan Poe’s “Morella,” “Ligeia,” and “Eleonora,” and Edith Wharton’s “Bewitched,” men are left without parents, and they attempt to recuperate a mother-figure. To do so, the men in these texts psychologically project the role of their mother onto other women. Wives, sisters, and daughters all have the potential to become mothers to these men. This is a catastrophe for the women involved, for male perception fails to distinguish females as autonomous, unique beings. By conflating roles in the family structure, men destroy women and thus are left without the nurturing mother-figure – or indeed any female – they desperately need.

Full textAbstract:
Le cycle des Rougon-Macquart représente une grande famille fantastique que Zola orne de diverses transformations de l'oedipe avec des illustrations sociales et historiques. Notamment, les cinq romans qui racontent l'histoire de la famille de Gervaise, L'assommoir, Nana, Germinal, L'oeuvre et la Bête humaine et qui font l'objet de notre étude, sont, à différents titres, un roman familial freudien, produit du conflit oedipien. Au centre du conflit oedipien, se trouve la femme sous trois aspects : la "mère débauchée", la "mère morte" et la "mère phallique". La femme, quoiqu'objet du désir, ou plutôt parce qu'objet du désir, reste terrifiante pour le moi masculin, qu'elle l'agresse ou que par une attitude menaçante elle résiste à son désir. De telles femmes négatives dominent tout notre corpus. L'analyse de ces femmes est donc une clé ouvrant quelques portes sur l'imaginaire de Zola armé de science et de réalisme. Notre étude qui est fondée, dans son ensemble, sur le fantasme du roman familial, se concentre sur la mère phallique, puisque celle-ci domine tout notre corpus. Les personnages féminins phalliques transmettent une maladie héréditaire aux hommes et les objets principaux de chaque roman sont décrits comme des figures de la femme phallique. . . .

Full textAbstract:
Au lendemain de la renaissance juridique du XIIe siècle et de la redécouverte des compilations de Justinien, les juristes médiévaux s’attachent à bâtir un principe général de prohibition des donations entre époux. Dès la première moitié du XIIIe siècle, civilistes et canonistes assouplissent cependant les restrictions, passant ainsi d’une prohibition stricte à un simple système de révocabilité. Les praticiens français, répondant aux demandes de conjoints soucieux de protéger le survivant, ont contribué à l’affaiblissement des entraves romaines et canoniques : serment promissoire, clause de renonciation, donation par personne interposée constituent autant d’expédients, parfois même empiriques et frauduleux. En dépit de ce long glissement doctrinal et des palliatifs élaborés par les notaires, des interdictions ont longtemps persisté dans la plupart des législations territoriales, rédigées et inlassablement réformées à l’aune du droit romain, du Moyen Âge central au début de l’Époque moderne<br>Immediately following the juridical renaissance of the 12th century and the rediscovery of the Justinian codification of Roman law, medieval jurists were committed to creating a general principle prohibiting donations between spouses. As early as the first half of the 13th century, however, civil law experts and canonists modulated the restrictions, thereby moving from strict prohibition to a simple system of revocability. French practitioners, responding to requests from married people concerned to protect their surviving spouse, contributed to weakening the constraints of Roman and canon law; promissory oaths, renunciation clauses and donations through an intermediary comprised such contrivances, which were sometimes even improvised and fraudulent. Despite this long doctrinal slide and the palliatives drawn up by notaries, such interdictions persisted over a long period of time in most territorial legislations, redrafted and repeatedly reformed according to the standards of Roman law from the high Middle Ages to the beginning of the modern times

Full textAbstract:
A travers le biais de la memoire, ce travail suit des itineraires de femmes - de l'unite italienne au neo-feminisme-dela maison, espace feminin traditionnel, et espace specifique pour la femme elle-meme (la maison comme un ventre maternel), jusqu'au "monde" trouble de cette fin de millenaire : la "storia" d'un quotidien qui rend compte cependant de la violence du siecle. La maison etant fonction d'un imaginaire social autant que domestique, quitter la maison repond a une double necessite pour les femmes: dystopie de la maison comme vaine protection et volonte de participer a la gestion du monde. La specificite feminine se signale par une apprehension particuliere de l'espace-demeure ou p. E. La phobie des caves eclaire l'impossible retour a la mere. L'ere des ruptures avec la mere sonne dans les annees soixantedix, les "meres-mauvaises" apparaissent avec la revendication du fait feminin. La memoire de l'histoire permet enfin de confirmer qu'a la dystopie de la maison correspond l'utopie d'un monde different. Avec la recherche d"autre chose" qui integre la fonction maternelle, la responsabilite de la femme qui cherche non pas a conquerir le monde, mais a l"habiter", le rendre vivable. La crise des ideologies, percue par les femmes avant les hommes se colore d'une aspiration a la "vraie justice", selon la loi d'antigone : la loi du sang contre la loi ecrite<br>Through the indirect means of memory, this work follows women's routes - from italian unity to neo-feminism - from the house, traditional female space, ans specific space for woman herself (the house as a mother's womb) to the confused "word" of this end of millenary : "storia" of an everyday life which, nevertheless, renders an account of the century violence. The house acts as a social as vell as domestic imaginary, therefore, leaving the house answers a dual necessity for women : dystopia of the house as a useless protection and a will to partecipate in the world management. The female character signalizes itself by a particuliar understanding of the living space where the phobia of cellars may throw a light upon the impossible return to the mother. The time to break with mothers comes in the seventies, "the bad mothers "appearing with the claim for feminine reality. Then the memory of history allows a confirmation of a correspondence between the dystopia of the house and the utopia of a different word. With the search for "something else" which includes maternal fonction, the responsability of women who want not to conquer the world but to "live" in it, to make possible to live in. The crisis of ideoligies that women perceived before men, colours with an aspiration for "real justice" according to antigone's law : the law of blood against written law

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines female political imprisonment during the early part of Spain’s Franco regime through the life narratives by Carlota O’Neill, Tomasa Cuevas, Juana Doña, and Soledad Real published during the transition. It proposes the foregrounding notion of the ‘No/Body’ to describe the literary, social, and historical eradication and exemplification of the female prisoner as deviant. Using critical theories of genre, gender and sexuality, sociology and philosophy, and human geography, it discusses the concepts of subject, abject, spatiality, habitus, and the mirror to analyse the intersecting, influential factors in the (re)production of dominant discourses within Francoist and post-Francoist society that are interrogated throughout the corpus. In coining the concept of the ‘No/Body’ as a methodological approach, a narrative form, and a socio-political subject position, this thesis repositions the marginal and the (in)visible as an essential aspect of female carcerality. Read through this concept, the narratives begin to dismantle and rewrite dominant narratives of gender and genre for the female prisoner in such a way that the texts foreground the ‘No/Body’. This thesis thus presents the narrative corpus of lost testimonies as a form of radical textual and political practice within contemporary Spanish historiography.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse intitulée « La femme dans la famille en Afrique romaine : étude à partir des documents de l’époque impériale » comprend un prologue et deux grandes parties. Le prologue constitue est approche de l’histoire de la femme Libyenne et Carthaginoise. Dans la première partie consacrée au Haut-Empire romain la documentation est essentiellement épigraphique. En étudiant les inscriptions, nous avons essayé de relever les qualités morales des femmes et de mettre en valeur l’idéal féminin consigné dans l’épigraphie païenne. Nous avons insisté sur les thèmes de la moralité conjugale, le rôle de l’épouse au sein de la famille et la société païenne en général. A partir de l’épigraphie africaine du Haut-Empire, qu’est un bon reflet d’un certain idéal féminin dans la culture païenne, nous pouvons élargir la chronologie tout en gardant à l’esprit les mêmes perspectives pour les repérer dans la littérature chrétienne. Y eut-il un changement ou une évolution dans les mœurs, dans la façon de considérer les femmes ? Qu’est ce que la nouvelle foi a apporté à la femme ? Quel a été le changement de la place des femmes en Afrique à l’époque chrétienne ? Quel regard les Pères de l’Eglise ont-ils porté sur la femme et quel rôle lui ont-ils assigné ? Les Pères de l’Eglise étaient-ils misogynes ? Que représente la femme dans leurs conceptions ? Y eut-il un certain « immobilisme » dans la situation de la femme en Afrique, qui n’aurait pas contribué à améliorer sa place au sein de la famille et au sein de la société ? Nous avons essayé dans la deuxième partie de la thèse de répondre à ces questions en étudiant les écrits des apologistes africains : Tertullien, Minucius Felix, saint Cyprien, Arnobe de Sicca, Lactance, Arnobe le Jeune, Fulgence de Ruspe et surtout saint Augustin. Nous avons réservé un chapitre indépendant pour mettre en valeur le rôle des femmes dans le martyre, ce qui constitue la parfaite adhésion de ces femmes martyres à la foi chrétienne. Le terminus ante quem de cette étude est le Ve siècle avec l’invasion vandale en Afrique, qui constitue une véritable rupture dans l’histoire de l’Afrique du Nord<br>This thesis entitled “The woman in the family with Roman Africa: study from the documents of imperial period” is a study based on documents from the imperial period that includes a prologue and two main parts. The prologue is an approach to the history of the Libyan and Carthaginian woman. In the first part, devoted to the Early Roman Empire, the documentation is mainly epigraphic. In studying the inscriptions, we have tried to address the moral qualities of women and to highlight the feminine ideal embodied in pagan epigraphy. We have underlined the subject of conjugal morality and the role of the wife within the family and the pagan society in general. By focusing on specific themes, we sought to monitor changes in attitudes, through the issue morality. From African epigraphy Early Empire, that is a good reflection of a feminine ideal in pagan culture, we can expand the timeline while keeping in mind the same prospects in order to find them in Christian literature. Was there a change or a change in habits, in the way how to consider women? What the new faith has brought to women? What was the change in the place of women in Africa in the Christian era? How the Fathers of the Church have they focused on the woman and what role they assigned her? Were the Fathers of the Church misogynists? What does the woman represent in their designs? Was there certain “immobilize” in the situation of women in Africa, which would not have helped improve its position within the family and society? We tried to answer these questions in the second part of the thesis bay studying the writings of African apologists : Tertullian, Minucius Felix, Cyprian, Arnobius of Sicca, Lactantius, Arnobius the Younger, Fulgence of Ruspe and especially saint Augustine. We have reserved a separate chapter to highlight the role of women in martyrdom, which is the perfect adhesion of these female martyrs to the Christian faith. The terminus ante quem of this study is the fifth century with the Vandal invasion in Africa, which constitutes a real breakthrough in the history of North Africa. ”
