Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'The chronotope of every-day life'

In this essay Murakami Haruki’s novel The Wind Up Bird Chronicle was analysed from the perspective of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the chronotope. The aim was to explore the concept of time and space as presented in the novel. In particular, the analysis focused on how Bakhtin’s chronotopes can be applied to The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, how the chronotopes can enhance our understanding of the novel, and finally how the chronotope theory can be applied to the concept of ‘magic realism’ that is often used to describe Murakami’s authorship. Four chronotopes, presented by Bachtin, were selected and applied to the novel: every-day life, the road, crisis and the castle. The concept of the chronotope allows analysis of how time and space work together in literature and how they form patterns of correlation in the sujet. Results showed that the four chronotopes were found in the novel, and that they also interacted with each other. The chronotope of everyday-life was apparent throughout the novel, and the narrator was under its control. The narrator also seemed to create every-day life out of the chronotopes of the road and crisis by re-living the crises in the road. These three chronotopes seemed inseparable in The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. Finally, the fourth chronotope, the castle, illustrated how a concrete room in the novel, a house, became a part of time and space through a character who, by his presence, gave the impression of slowing down time. When this character disappeared, time made its way through space, making the chronotope of the castle visible. The essay concludes that the chronotope theory was a relevant way to analyse The Wind Up Chronicle as it provided a concept of how time and space appeared together in a novel where time and space is always present. The analysis helped creating a way of understanding the patterns in the novel, which were not always clear, thereby also increasing the understanding of The Wind Up Bird Chronicle.

Background Tube-feeding or nutritional support is a therapy for people who can’t get enough nutrition by eating or drinking. You may need it if you have difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite, are severely malnourished or have inability to absorb nutrients through your digestive system. There are several diagnoses associated with tube-feeding, depending on the persons diagnose and users state the user can be tied to the tube-feeding equipment from 3 to 18 hours a day. In Sweden there are around 1500-3000 adults in need of tube-feeding outside the hospitals.   Method This report is made by Cindy Sjöblom and is an individual student’s work. The project is her dissertation and final project at the two year Masters program Advanced Product Design at Umeå Institute of Design. The project has been executed during 20 weeks the spring 2015. The project is based on the design process which includes the following phases; Research & Analysing, Ideation & Concept’s and Detailing & Visualization. The Research & Analysis phase has included; Product analysis, user interviews & observations, market outlook, anatomical knowledge, problem listing and opportunity findings. The Ideation & Concept’s phase has included; Inspiration, persona creation, creative workshop, sketching, concepts creation, mock-up building, user testing & feedback. The Detailing & Visualization phase has included; 3D modelling, moodboard creation, sketching, final model building, photo shooting, video recording, documentation, presentation and a poster and exhibition stand at Umeå Institute of Design and at Semcon, Gothenburg. Result Tubie is an ambulatory tube-feeding system to facilitate an active everyday life for people in need of enteral nutrition. Tubie consists out of six parts; A nutrition pump and a wireless charging station, a nutrition bag and an external tubing, a wearable waist band and an application for a smart device to be able to control the pump. Unlike traditional enteral nutritions systems, Tubie is designed with a focus on the users in a home environment and their need for a more active lifestyle and discreet usage in social environments. Tubie is simply discreet due to its wearable features that allows the user to wear it underneath the clothing as well as control the pump via a smart device with an adaptable pre-alarm that sounds like any other text message or ring tone.

I denna rapport beskrivs arbetet med att ta fram ett gränssnitt till en applikation för äldre. Målet med applikationen är att öka tryggheten och underlätta för äldre i vardagen, samt att minska social isolering. Frågeställningarna grundades dels på vilka funktioner som är relevanta och önskvärda i en sådan applikation, dels hur applikationen ska anpassas efter såväl låg teknikvana, som fysiska och kognitiva nedsättningar som är vanliga vid hög ålder. Arbetet inleddes med litteraturstudier om målgruppen, dess behov och svårigheter. Relaterade arbeten och liknande produkter granskades. Dessutom studerades olika designmetoder och -verktyg som ansågs vara relevanta för projektet. Arbetsprocessen bestod av iterativa cyklar där designval och funktioner diskuterades och utvecklades med hjälp av olika designverktyg. Dessa utvärderades sedan genom användartester. Resultatet från testerna analyserades och bidrog till ändringar och vidarutvecklingar i nästa cykel. Resultatet består av en interaktiv prototyp som grundar sig i teori och de upptäckter som gjorts under arbetets gång. Rapporten avslutas med en diskussion om huruvida resultatet uppfyllde målen och vad som fungerat bra och mindre bra i arbetsprocessen. Dessutom diskuteras etiska aspekter med arbetet och möjlig vidareutveckling.

The everyday survival of the other at the border between ‘East’ and ‘West’ is the object of this study. The country in-between, Estonia, is a ‘melting pot’ of Russian, Western and Nordic influence, what makes this zone an active, diverse, nevertheless invisible in the global awareness. The process of transition and rapid neoliberalization, which is characteristic for the post-socialist country such as Estonia, brings together number of side-effects, lots of redundant people, who could not adapt to the new regime, who speculate and trade. The investigation of ‘Russian’ semi-official spaces of trade in Estonian capital, Tallinn, reveals the values and defects of the open-air markets.  The thesis highlights the need to politicize the processes around the disappearing and/or transforming the open-air markets in the city. In spite of the fact, that the informal trading is often connected with poverty, illegality, low hygiene, distrust and crime, this work explores the alternative ways of trading, the power of immediacy and aesthetics in confrontation to the global capital. The architecture as the transversal practice cuts across the patterns of trading based on irresponsible consumerism and desire, and experiments with the original concept of the market with the dialogue in front. The speculative interventions are the sites of the common life, production and renewal.

We examined the effects of bright light on social interaction and mood in healthy individuals with mild seasonality. In a cross-over design, 38 mildly seasonal individuals received three weeks of bright light and three weeks of placebo (low-density negative ions). Using an event-contingent method participants recorded their mood and behaviours during social interactions and wore a light-sensor actigraphy at the wrist to monitor adherence to home based light exposure. During light administration, 23 participants adhered to the light protocol and exhibited more quarrelsome behaviours and no change in mood. Participants who provided no evidence of adherence had similar mood and social behaviour during both interventions. The results indicate the need for effective methods for determining adherence to the protocol in light studies. Furthermore, in individuals with mild seasonality light administration may not improve mood and may have adverse effects on social behaviour.
Nous avons examiné les effets de la lumière forte sur les interactions sociales et l'humeur chez des individus sains avec un caractère saisonnier léger. En utilisant un plan d'étude croisé, 38 individus légèrement saisonniers ont été exposés à trois semaines de lumière forte et trois semaines d'un placebo (ions négatifs à intensité basse). En utilisant la méthode des événements liés (les participants ont enregistré leur humeur et comportement durant leurs interactions sociales et ont porté un détecteur de lumière au poignet pour vérifier leur adhérence à l'exposition à la lumière à la maison. Durant l'administration de la lumière, 23 participants ont adhéré au protocole de lumière et exhibé plus de comportements querelleurs et aucun changement d'humeur. Parmi les autres participants qui n'ont fourni aucune preuve d'adhérence, et leur humeur et comportement social étaient semblables pendant les deux interventions. Les résultats indiquent un besoin de méthodes efficaces pour déterminer l'adhérence au protocole de lumière. Qui plus est, chez les individus avec caractère saisonnier léger, il est possible que l'administration de lumière n'améliore pas l'humeur et exerce des effets adverses sur le comportement social. fr

The aim of this study was to describe how persons with Whiplash associated disorder experience how the pain affects them in their daily life. The design of the study was descriptive with qualitative, individual interviews, questionnaire with background facts of the examination group, and diary notes from persons with pain of WAD. Method for selection was convenience. Through contact with the association of whiplash group in a county in middle of Sweden, the majority of the examination group for the study was found. Five persons where given information about the study, one of them choose not to take part of the study, and one of the persons did not complete the study. One further person was asked to participate in the study and did take part and completed. Four persons choose to take part and completed the study, all women and between the ages 31-60. The result is presented in categories: To live with pain of WAD, Loss of quality of life, Changes in life after injury, Consequences of activity, Relations and isolation, Pain and sleep. The legible emerge that could be seen in the study was that planning the days was necessary to handle the intensity of pain. The pain controlled the days and the social relations to friends and relatives experience deteriorated because the degree of experienced pain controlled the day. All persons in the examine group emphasized that their injury can not be seen, and because that the acceptance for their injury and pain is low from the society.

Os fios jornalísticos com os quais o cotidiano é tecido são as articulações narrativas que esta tese analisa. Ela investiga a identidade temporal das narrativas jornalísticas e o valor que o tempo possui para esse tipo de comunicação, verificando a contribuição do jornalismo para a percepção do tempo social e a noção temporal que favorece sua legitimação, ao mesmo tempo em que separa a ação narrativa jornalística na produção de passados, presentes e futuros. Assim, analisa essas produções segundo duas formas, comemoração e acontecimento, e investiga a necessidade de celebrar o passado e as formas dessa comemoração experimentadas como história, tradição e memória, três estratégias de narração dos tempos idos. Também observa a participação do passado na elaboração da notícia, uma forma particular de construção de acontecimentos, diferente daquela realizada pela operação historiográfica. Para isso, apresenta uma tipologia dos usos do tempo no cotidiano narrativo de três periódicos com mais de cem anos no espaço social do estado do Rio de Janeiro: Jornal do Commercio, O Fluminense e Jornal do Brasil. Esses usos do tempo revelam algumas funções desempenhadas pelas práticas jornalísticas no cotidiano, sobretudo a de marcar a passagem do tempo, seja fixando-o ou potencializando seu efeito de fluxo. Num passo seguinte, mostra as concepções de história implicadas nessas operações narrativas de natureza jornalística e, numa dimensão mais ampla, investiga os processos de significação do jornalismo a partir de diferentes relações que estabelecemos com o tempo por meio dessa prática social. E, por último, destaca a importância da narratividade jornalística na constituição das múltiplas consciências de história, devido a seu trabalho de sintetizar diariamente portões para outros tempos, sejam passados ou futuros ou mesmo presentes alargados numa territorialidade mais ampla do que aquela vivida presencialmente, e procura abordar o jornalismo como forma particular de interação social, definida por uma experiência temporal específica baseada na periodicidade e na expectativa de novidade, ao mesmo tempo em que em parte a gera.
The journalistic threads with which everyday life is entwined are the narrative articulations that this thesis analyzes. It investigates the temporal identity of journalistic narratives and the value that time plays for such a type of communication, by checking the contributions of journalism to the perception of social time. This research also investigates the notions of time that contribute to its legitimacy, while separating journalistic narrations into the production of past, present and future. The thesis purposes analyze these productions in two ways – as commemorations and as events - and investigates the need to celebrate the past and the ways that this celebration experience takes as history, as tradition and as memory, three different strategies of narratives of bygone days. It also notes the participation of the past in the construction of news, a particular form of producing events, different from that held by the historiographical operation. We present a typology of the uses of time in daily narratives of three newspapers with more than one hundred years in Rio de Janeiro: Jornal do Commercio, O Fluminense and Jornal do Brasil. These uses of time expose some functions performed by journalistic practices in everyday life, especially that of counting the course of time, either fixing it or potentiating its flow effect. Then, this thesis shows the concepts of history involved in these journalistic emplotments and, in a broader approach, investigates the long-term processes of signifying journalism by the different connections we have established over time with this social practice. Finally, we highlight the importance of journalistic narratives to frame multiple consciousness of history, due to their daily work of synthesizing gates to other times, whether to the past or to the future or even to the present as an extended territoriality larger than experiences personally attended. We tend to approach journalism as a particular form of social interaction, defined by a specific experience based on the periodicity and for whom most of its history has been based on the expectation and the generation of novelties.

Esta pesquisa procura elaborar uma história sociocultural da cidade de Sorocaba, no período compreendido entre a década de 1890, quando ocorre a intensificação da industrialização na cidade, e meados dos anos 1940. Assim, o objeto a ser estudado é a própria cidade de Sorocaba nesse período, o que significa pensar a inserção e especificidade da cidade nos fluxos da modernidade, processo histórico pautado pelas transformações e adensamento das relações capitalistas no país. A partir dessa questão, procuro investigar aspectos do desenvolvimento urbano ocorrido em Sorocaba, pensando a cidade como artefato, a partir do estudo de alguns melhoramentos urbanos fundamentais como a implantação do serviço de água e esgotos e a utilização da eletricidade; e as representações, impressões e percepções elaboradas nesse contexto e que interagem com essas transformações. O que significa procurar apreender a fisionomia da cidade. Tais modificações são implementadas pelas elites dirigentes locais e que, por conta disso, constroem uma representação da cidade que a tornaria conhecida como Manchester Paulista. Portanto, o objetivo é analisar e historicizar tal construção simbólica, interagindo-a com outras representações / percepções da urbe, engendradas por diversos grupos, segmentos e classes sociais no âmbito do cotidiano; procurando, desse modo, apreender as múltiplas práticas, formas de sociabilidade, que vão se tecendo entre os diferentes atores no espaço urbano em decorrência das modificações pelas quais passa a cidade durante o período em tela.
The purpose of this research is to create a social-cultural history about the city of Sorocaba, in the corresponding period between the decade of 1890, when industrialization is intensified in the city, and the first years of the decade of 1940. Therefore the object to be studied is the city of Sorocaba itself during this period; the challenge is also to reflect about the entrance and specificity of the city in the modernity flow, a historical process regulated by the transformation and intensification of the capitalistic relations in the country. Concerning this issue, I intend to investigate aspects of the urban development that took place in Sorocaba, so in order to think of the city as an artifact, it is crucial to study a few fundamental urban improvements, like the introduction of the water and drain system and the use of electricity, and the representations, impressions and perceptions elaborated in this context that interact with these transformations. The idea is to search for and grasp the physiognomy of the city. Such modifications are implemented by the local governing elites, which consequently build an image of the city that would become known as the Manchester of São Paulo. Therefore, the aim is to analyze and historicize this symbolic construction, connecting it with other representations/ perceptions of the urbe, produced by several groups, segments and social classes in the daily routine, by this means the endeavor is to grasp the various practices, forms of sociability, that occur among different actors in the urban space as a consequence of the modifications that the city goes through during the observed period.

This thesis is about the every day life of children who suffer from economic hardship. The aim is, from the children's point of view, to create an understanding of the consequences that economic hardship has on their relationships with their parents and other children. A further aim is to gain an understanding of how children act in relation to the families' economic situation and how they experience their every day life and general living conditions. Parents have also been interviewed about the families' general living conditions and the interaction between children and parents in relation to the economic situation. The empirical data has been collected over a period of fourteen months. Fourteen children aged 7-19 years and eight parents in seven families have been interviewed on five occasions. A total of 44 interviews have been conducted. The theoretical foundation of the thesis is childhood sociology, symbolic interactionism and social identity. The conclusions of this thesis can be summarized in two major results. The first is that economic hardship is of importance in the relationship with other children and in the interaction between children and their parents. The children's possibilities of participating together with peers through possessions and activities are affected to a varying extent depending on the circumstances. The relationship with their parents is also affected by children having to take economic responsibility and by children cooperating with them. Economic hardship also causes a strain on the relationship. The second major result is that children are active in forming theirs and their families' every day life in relation to the economic limits. On the basis of their understanding and their definition of the situation they choose different strategies, the aims of which are either to live within the limitations of the situation, so-called reactive strategies, or to change their own situation and sometimes also the situation of their household. These are defined as proactive strategies in the thesis.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o cotidiano dos agregados sociais da Praça da Alfândega localizada no centro da cidade de Porto Alegre no Rio Grande Sul. Foram investigados a partir deste espaço os aspectos relacionais, identitários, as expressões subjetivas e estéticas, as fronteiras de convivências assim como as territorializações empreendidas pelos indivíduos que compõem estes agregados sociais no espaço da Praça da Alfândega. Além disso, esta dissertação tem como intuito discutir as questões pertinentes sobre a função do espaço público, cidadania e dos aspectos sobre as formas de sociabilidade e de insociabilidade nas metrópoles contemporâneas. Pode se dizer que a Praça da Alfândega, nesse mosaico de representações sociais, territórios justapostos e signos compreendem um importante lócus de análise do espaço urbano, motivo pelo fato que ela se apresenta para as formas sociais, denominado de agregados sociais um espaço dicotômico da sobrevivência material e da convivência social. Por esse motivo, o estudo do cotidiano dos agregados sociais presentes no espaço da Praça da Alfândega constituem também uma investigação sobre os fenômenos urbanos contemporâneos e suas múltiplas e emergentes práticas sociais se apresentam nos estilos de vida, das formas simbólicas e nos usos dos espaços nas grandes metrópoles.
This paper aims to study the social aggregations’ every day life from Praça da Alfândega, located in the center of Porto Alegre city in Rio Grande Sul. The aspects of relationship and identity, the subjective and esthetic expressions, the borders of acquaintance as well as the territories settled by people who compounded these social groups in the space of Praça da Alfândega were investigated. Besides, this paper also aims to discuss relevant questions about the function of public space, citizenship and aspects about the forms of sociability and unsociability in modern metropolis. It is possible to affirm that Praça da Alfândega, on this mosaic of social representation adjacent territories and symbols form an important locus of analysis about urban space. For this reason, it becomes a dichotomic space both of material survival and of social acquaintance for the social forms, called social aggregations. Because of this reason, the study of the social aggregations’ every day life settled in Praça da Alfândega constitutes also an investigation about recent urban phenomena and their several and emergent social practices according to ways of life, symbolical forms, and settlement in big cities.

The aim of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how discourse as a theoretical and didactical concept can help in advancing knowledge about the teaching of mathematics in school. The dissertation has been written within a socio-cultural perspective where active participation and support from artefacts and mediation are viewed as important contributions to the development of understanding. Discourse analysis was used as a theoretical point of departure to grasp language use, knowledge construction and mathematical content in the teaching practises. The collection of empirical data was made up of video and audio tape recordings of the interaction of teachers and pupils in mathematics classrooms when they deal with problem-solving tasks, as well as discussions between student teachers as they engage in planning a teaching situation in mathematics. Discourse analysis was used as a tool to shed light upon how pupils learn and develop understanding of mathematics. The results of my studies demonstrate that discussions very often are located in either a mathematical or in an every-day discourse. Furthermore, the results demonstrate how change between every-day and mathematical language often takes place unknowingly. Also the results underline that a specific and precise dialogue can contribute towards teachers’ and pupils’ conscious participation in the learning process. Translated into common vocabulary such as speak, think, write, listen and read teachers and pupils would be able to interact over concepts, signs, words, symbols, situations and phenomena in every-day discourse and its mathematical counterpart. When teachers and pupils become aware of discursive boundary crossing in mathematics an understanding of mathematical phenomena can start to develop. Teachers and pupils can construct a meta-language leading to new knowledge and new learning in mathematics.
Syftet med avhandlingen är att beskriva och analysera hur diskurs som teoretiskt- didaktiskt begrepp kan bidra till att utveckla kunskap i och om matematik i skolan. Avhandlingen skrivs utifrån ett sociokulturellt perspektiv där aktivt deltagande med hjälp av artefakter och mediering är viktiga bidrag till förståelsen. För att få syn på språket, kunskapen och matematiken i matematikundervisningen används diskursanalys som teoretisk utgångspunkt och metod. Data insamlingen består av video- och ljudbandsinspelningar av lärares och elevers samtal i ett matematikklassrum då de arbetar med problemlösning och lärarstudenters samtal när de planerar en undervisningssituation i matematik. Diskusanalys har använts som ett redskap för att upptäcka hur elever lär och utvecklar sin förståelse av matematik. Resultaten visar att i mina studier befinner sig samtalet ofta antingen i en matematisk eller i en vardaglig diskurs. Växlingen mellan vardagligt och matematiskt språk sker ofta omedvetet. I avhandlingen understryks att ett specifikt och precist samtal i matematik underlättar ömsesidig förståelse och kan bidra till att lärare och elever blir delaktiga i lärandet. Med hjälp av orden tala, tänka, skriva, lyssna och läsa skulle lärare och elever kunna interagera kring begrepp, tecken, ord, symboler, situationer och företeelser i den vardagliga och den matematiska diskursen och förståelse skulle lättare kunna äga rum i matematik. Genom att lärare och elever blir medvetna om hur de passerar diskursiva gränser både i matematiken och mellan matematik och vardag kan förståelse klargöras. Lärare och elever skulle kunna utveckla ett metaspråk som leder till ny kunskap och nytt lärande inom matematiken i skolan.

Author: Ellen Hedin   Tutor: Ingegerd Rydin   Title: Computer Games as Culture – A qualitative study of the institutionalizing, cultivating, and socially constructing elements of computer game usage Subject: Media and Communication Studies Year: 2009 Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explore the creation of identities related to the interaction mediated through the use of computer games. By perceiving computer game playing as a form of social interaction, searching for the relations between actors and their function, I hope to find that the social features of computer game playing can nurture a self-confident, healthy identity as well as enchancing the players’ quality of life. Method: The methods used are interview, narrative interview and observation. Conclusions: The study concludes that there is a visible culture surrounding computer games that enrich the players’ quality of life as well as enriching their personas through institutionalizing, cultivating and socializing processes. Keywords: Computer, computer game, usage, online culture, communication, gaming, play, dota, gamer, popular culture, reception, young adults, new medium, modern technology, every-day-life.

Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Begründung einer pädagogischen Theorie der Verständigung in modernen Gesellschaften. Sie entfaltet ihre historischen und systematischen Überlegungen in zwei Teilen: Im ersten Teil wird die Erziehungskonzeption von J.-J. Rousseau analysiert. Vor dem Hintergrund seiner biografischen Entwicklung (Kapitel 1) und der Analyse des "Gesellschaftsvertrages" (Kapitel 2), wird in Kapitel 3 Rousseaus Erziehungstheorie dargestellt. Deren Besonderheit liegt darin, das Spannungsverhältnis von Ontogenese und Bildungsgenese zum Drehpunkt des Erziehungsvertrages gemacht zu haben. Dies ermöglichte ihm, ein Stufenkonzept der entwicklungsangemessenen Formen der Subjektförderung zu begründen; nämlich: Fürsorge und natürliche Elementarerziehung; negative Erziehung; sokratischer Dialog und Handwerkserziehung; natürliche Moralerziehung; Erziehung zur Geschlechtsidentität. Der Beitrag Rousseaus zu einer Theorie der pädagogischen Verständigung erschließt sich allerdings erst im textrekonstruktiven Verfahren mit folgenden Stufen: Explikation des Vorverständnisses der Interpretin; argumentativer Nachvollzug des Textes; Herausarbeitung immanenter Widersprüchlichkeiten, die aus der naturrechtlichen Verankerung dieser Erziehungskonzeption resultieren; Aufhebung der bleibenden konzeptionellen Momente in einer pädagogischen Verständigungstheorie. Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit den aktuellen Diskussionen zur Subjektentwicklung in der "zweiten Moderne". Dazu wird in Kapitel 4 die Theorieentwicklung der Kritischen Psychologie und ihre Beziehungen zur Psychoanalyse und zur Phänomenologie analysiert, zentrale systematische Widersprüche herausgearbeitet und jene Theorieelemente identifiziert, die in einem pädagogisch relevanten intersubjektiven Verständigungskonzept aufzuheben sind. Im abschließenden Kapitel 5 werden die gewonnenen begrifflichen Ergebnisse angewendet auf die Analyse der Bedingungen und Verlaufsformen der alltäglichen Lebensführung in der reflexiv gewordenen Moderne.

Les troubles cognitifs constituent incontestablement une des caractéristiques les plus invalidantes de la schizophrénie et sont fortement corrélés aux perturbations de la vie quotidienne et de l'insertion socioprofessionnelle des patients. Différents programmes de remédiation cognitive ont vu le jour ces dernières années. S'ils semblent être le corollaire destroubles cognitifs, leurs bénéfices sur le statut fonctionnel des patients restent peu convaincants à ce jour. En cause : la non prise en compte de la double hétérogénéité des troubles cognitifs et des plaintes des patients. L'alternative proposée à ces études consiste à travailler selon la méthodologie des cas unique ou multiple en partant du pragmatisme des plaintes des patients, pour mettre en oeuvre des interventions centrées sur les activités spécifiques de la vie quotidienne mettant en jeu les aspects fonctionnels altérés. L'objectif de cette thèse a été d'étudier l'efficacité d'une telle démarche. Deux prises en charge individualisées et une prise en charge de groupe ont été élaborées. Une première étude visait à optimiser la réalisation des activités particulières de la vie professionnelle du sujet à travers l'accroissement de l'efficacité de deux sous-composantes de la Mémoire de Travail ; les deux autres études se sont focalisées sur les aspects exécutifs de la mémoire épisodique verbale et ont inclus une stratégie organisationnelle de l'encodage visant à promouvoir les opérations de compréhension et de structuration de l'information, dans le but d'optimiser la réalisation d'activités de la vie quotidienne (lectures, conversations, sorties culturelles, suivi de programmes TV). Les résultats témoignent de l'efficacité et de la spécificité de chacune de ces interventions. Un suivi à long terme a permis d'objectiver une stabilité dans le maintien des acquis et un transfert durable des différents apprentissages dans la vie professionnelle et quotidienne d'un des sujets.

Vorliegende Dissertation ist der ethnomethodologischen Forschung zuzuordnen. Ausgangspunkt ist, dass erwachsenendidaktische Praxis in der Regel mit normativen und deduktiven Analyseinstrumenten erforscht wird, wodurch notwendigerweise respondierende Ergebnisse geliefert werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein Analysemodell entwickelt, das dazu taugen soll, fallbezogen den Selbstausdruck einer bestimmten empirischen didaktischen Realität zu enträtseln, indem deren Äußerungsformen und Bezüge in abduktiver Forschungsmethodik ausgedeutet werden. Ich nenne dieses Verfahren „handlungshermeneutisch“. Es ist zielführend zur Erschließung von Teilsinn und übergeordnetem Sinn. Das didaktische Analysemodell, das ich im Verlauf der Dissertation auf den Begriff des „alltagsdidaktischen Konfigurationsmodells“ bringe, kann sowohl zur Klärung eigener wie auch fremder Praxis, d.h. selbstdeutend versus fremddeutend verwendet werden. Mit dem alltagsdidaktischen Konfigurationsmodell möchte ich einen Beitrag zur praxisrelevanten erwachsenenpädagogischen Theoriebildung leisten.
The didactics of adult education are usually studied with normative and deductive analytical instruments, which tend to produce results that merely confirm the researcher’s initial observations. This dissertation—an ethnomethodological case study—develops an analytical model for helping the learning facilitator arrive at the self-explication of a specific empirical and didactic reality by interpreting its constituent social and behavioral patterns and aspects through an abductive procedure the author calls “hermeneutics of action”. It effectively informs the decoding of both a specific and an overall context. This analytical tool, which the author comes to name the “everyday didactic configuration model”,can illuminate the inside and outside perspectives on one’s own pedagogical techniques. The model is intended as a contribution to theory-building fruitful for the andragogical community of practice.

This thesis has been put in the background of My creating process at the present stage.It is necessary,to my creating process,to doubt honestly about,first,the body gesture itself which,for a long time,has been influenced deeply and heavily by the habitual thinking,and,secondly,my self-concept and ego which have been inscribed,tamed and instructed out-and-out.It is both my crisis and opportunity to do this.Therefore,I will work out this treatise“creepingly”in the form of doubt-presenting and self-examining. In the foreword ,I try to present the condition on which the creators’ ego-self could be stretched and extended through his creative skills,and then try to arrange my thoughts of this creative argument and its dimensions.From this,I continue to point out the fact that only through insistent tries and accurate description can an artist achieve a desirable degree of adjacency of art－－－a kind of touching through which a creating body enters into its environment subtly and profoundly. The first chapter is a kind of presentation through question-and-answer in which I ask myself and I answer myself.My discussion goes round several topics concerning creating process and the sculpting of the creators’self. I observe myself along the crossing lines of questions and answers in which I act both as “me” and as the “others” Creation,in a way,proceeds on the eternally incessant rolling waves of asking and answering. Chapter two clarifies that the creator is part of the land,growing on the land,growing in the natural environment,mutually depending on each other.Regarding to the artistic and literal expressing in the existing situation of creation,and to the cleansing and changing between body,language and labor.The creator,in creating,must understand himself through the physical labor as he can,and practice some kind of restricted self-caring,to win the quality of “languagelessness”which bears a strong power to express some unique silence.That is a kind of spiritual sedimentation and a vital springing of the creative life. Chapter three argues that creating is a kind of silent self-to-self conversations－－－I write and I read,I speak and I listen,and I pile up a “me”in a secret mansion through the “other’s” hands. Besides,I,adopting dialectics between self and non-self,use the concept of “side-cutting”－－－cracking-in or breaking-out from the out-skirt of a meditating self,to study the active elements and structure of “self-caring”. The creative works presented in chapter four are expansions of my adolescence fancies.Placed in a cut-broken after-teenagerhood vacant spiritual space of enlightenment,and dreaming with a materialistic ahead-going,I try to recomb out the elemental body of creating,and come back home to the spiritual wildland.Then I work to clarify my body-view of creating and put it into a body practicing,to creat my inner scenery through language and non-language. In chapter five ,giving comments on the life skills and the main life-elements,I enter my good-old-days ‘mansion”－－－under time variations,though “chewing of cud,”letting caring come back to myself,practicing wholemindedly “selfcaring” or“getting away from self－－－and try to construct a practical life aesthetics. And in the concluding chapter,I make the point that a creative writing is presented in the looks of it literal mansion which can be shared by others as it offers a kind of “blankness”in which the author,through his practical inner inspection and brewing,undertakes a changing process from daily-life-experiences to work-experiences.But,such blankness,as referring to creating itslf,is still a traceable ahead-leading trail between creating and thinking.

This thesis deals with the study of popular culture for example, television series like a typical product of this culture and of research of their consumers. It deals with the shift in the understanding of the importance of the concept of popular culture for example, female audience pursuing series called series "for the whole family. With this selected audience watching the series at the time of normalization, and at the same time pursuing current series I am trying to trace the development, as well as the changes in understanding of pop culture. The aim of this thesis is to determine the movement, changes in the understanding of the concept / importance of popular culture occurred during the period of normalization to the present days. At work I deal with social and political context, defining of popular culture, everydayness and watching TV serials. This is a qualitative research on female audience through in-depth interviews.

La notion de quotidien est inévitablement liée au présent. L’art découle del’expérience des individus, de leurs intentions et des circonstances propres à tout lieu.Tout artiste participe inévitablement de la vie quotidienne qu’il ou elle partage avec lepublic, de même qu’en envisageant un art « vivant », l’artiste peut réellement vivre savie afin d’enrichir, éprouver et confirmer son existence. Nous concernant, dans le cadrede notre pratique artistique, nous devons donc penser aux instants où nous rencontronsdes situations nouvelles, aux hasards de la vie quotidienne. Ceux-ci permettent des’ouvrir aux autres, à un monde indifférent, dangereux, mais aussi séduisant etfascinant. L’expérience qui en découle peut alors être considérée comme une manière deralentir le cours des choses, d’influer sur le monde en interrompant son caractèremécanique et en prolongeant les espaces, au lieu de les segmenter, ne serait-ce que pourun bref moment. Dans notre étude, l’« ici et maintenant » se manifeste au moyen d’unensemble de procédés dévolus au champ du visuel, notamment en exacerbant les traitsd’un milieu, d’un environnement, d’un lieu. Cette thèse questionne ainsi les processus d’élaboration et d’expressionintervenant dans la production de certaines oeuvres, afin de déterminer le rôle etl’importance d’une dynamique, d’un contexte, que l’on pourrait qualifier de quotidien.Il s’agira alors d’examiner les oeuvres sous la perspective de certaines caractéristiquesqui répondent de ce quotidien – l’ordinaire, ou un certain rapport au temps et à l’espace–, dans le projet de redécouvrir des formes, des cultures, avec, plus particulièrement,une attention centrée sur l’homme : sa représentation, son environnement et son modede vie constituant les trois volets de cette thèse.Cette thèse, interroge, au final, les usages quotidiens de la rencontre dans le cadrede pratiques associées à l’art contemporain, tel qu’il se fait le reflet d’une quotidiennetéamplifiée. Discours qui, s’il n’est pas nouveau, mérite cependant, selon nous, qu’il soitcontinuellement reconstruit et reconsidéré. Dans cette optique, si chacun devient sonpropre médiateur, contribuant au renouvellement et à la spectacularisation du monde, ilsemble que nous nous destinons à nous heurter de nouveau à un mur, alors que nous savons,simultanément, qu'il est de notre devoir de nous greffer à la réalité. Dans le mêmetemps, nous avons de nouveau la possibilité d’en appeler à l’universalité, afin de révélerla structure interne de la vie quotidienne contemporaine, quand bien même il s’agiraitde contempler la duplicité et l’ambiguïté de sa propre existence quotidienne1
The notion of everyday life is inevitably linked to the present. Art arises from theexperience of individuals, their intentions and the circumstances of any place. And,every artist inevitably participates in the daily life that he / she shares with his / her audience.We must therefore think of the moments when we encounter new situations, atrandom in everyday life. It opens up to others, to a world that is indifferent, dangerous,but also seductive and fascinating. This experience would be considered as a way tostop the world, to stop the mechanical life and space, if only for a brief moment. Inshort, the "here and now" is manifested through visual tools, exacerbating, in particular,the features of a milieu, an environment, a place. This thesis attempts to narrate someprocesses involved in the production of works, in order to insist for each work on methodsof expression and transformation. It will then be a question of presenting the worksunder the sign of a daily reading, in the optics of a rediscovery of forms and, cultures,with a centered attention on the man: his representation, his environment and his modeof life are the three components of this thesis. More precisely, it is a matter of testingthese notions of "monad" and "nomad" in the real space of life. For this reason, thisstudy could be perceived as a momentum comparable to an art lived "here and now".Unlike painting, in this respect, this art is not only representable by a variety of people�� �� ����in itself, but it has a limit in that it can not solicit the same reactions from each of thesepeople. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is that there is no imposition of a certainbehavior, at a certain time in the face of a certain work, but rather an instantaneity assumedin the face of always renewed situations. Thus, through this thesis that drawsutopias of proximity, we question an urban bodily experience that differs from the usualreferences (city-neighborhood, territorial construction and identity). Our questioningtherefore remains guided by the consideration of variations of the urban by the body andvice versa.This thesis finally becomes possible to provoke the daily use of the meeting, toplay the practices of contemporary art, become the reflection of an amplified daily life.All this is a discourse heard but whose modalities, in our opinion, are constantly to bereconsidered and rebuilt. In this hypothesis, everyone becomes his own mediatorcontributing to the renewal and spectacularization of the world. Finally, we are back onthe wall yet we know that it is our job to graft the reality. At the same time, we haveagain the possibility of appealing to universality in an attempt to reveal the internalstructure of contemporary daily life, even though it would be a question ofcontemplating the duplicity and ambiguity of one's own daily existence

This thesis based on an archive research as well as interviews with eleven interviewees describes aspects of every day routine in the lives of western foreigners in Czechoslovakia during the nineteen-seventies and eighties. Testimonies of the interviewees are set in context where a special emphasis is placed on legislation and internal regulations mostly of bodies of the Ministry of Interior concerning Czechoslovak visa policy, the status of foreigner in relation to Czechoslovakian citizens (marriages) and the police apparatus (observing, tailing and monitoring). Based on the testimonies and the archive material it can be concluded that the Czechoslovakian regime did not see the western foreigners as a priori ideological enemies and tolerated their presence in Czechoslovakia. Bureaucratic procedures, however, were set in such a fashion that the foreigners could be closely observed. A fear of not having their stay extended, resp. being expelled, often led those interviewees who wanted to live in Czechoslovakia permanently to subconsciously avoid conflicts with the regime. All interviewees are critical of the former regime and are able to accurately characterize its nature and its main negative aspects, but at the same time they perceived positively certain aspects of life in the brought-into-line...
