Willer, Clément. ""Il faudra quand même essayer de ne pas le construire" : le communisme sauvage de Marguerite Duras." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Strasbourg, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024STRAC001.

Abstract:

Cette thèse propose de lire le rêve d’un « communisme sauvage » dont on trouve de nombreuses traces chez Marguerite Duras dans la lignée du romantisme révolutionnaire, qu’ont contribué à définir Michael Löwy et Robert Sayre, comme mouvement qui va à contre-courant de la modernité tout en cherchant à expérimenter un avenir encore inconnu. Ainsi s’agira-t-il à la fois de prêter attention à la singularité profonde de l’œuvre de Marguerite Duras, et de l’inscrire dans le sillage de celles et ceux qui avant elle ont également frayé leur voie à la croisée de l’espoir et du désespoir, comme Walter Be

Abstract:

Perceived procedural justice in the implementation process of wind energy projects has been shown to be an important factor in shaping local acceptance of such schemes. However, thus far most research on this topic has focussed on large scale or private-developer led projects, with little research into how procedural justice might be important in "community" owned or led wind energy projects. The thesis addresses this gap by examining how local residents and project leaders perceive the implementation process of two community wind energy projects. It uses in-depth qualitative methods, with fif

Abstract:

Wind energy is expanding rapidly in the United States as the nation\'s energy policy objectives increasingly focus on renewables. Public opinion polls show that a majority of Americans support wind energy development but actual wind farm projects often face intense local opposition. This dichotomy between general support for wind energy but opposition towards siting a project nearby is often attributed to the not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) phenomenon. In this study we employ a discrete choice experiment to investigate public preferences for different characteristics of a local wind farm. We inves

Abstract:

Minerva Teichert (1888-1976) was a twentieth-century American artist, who spent most of her life residing in remote towns in the West, earnestly balancing the demands of family and ranching, and painting scenes of her beloved Western frontier. Her steady and significant production of art is remarkable for any artist, and particularly compelling when one considers her time constraints, inaccessibility of art supplies, distance from other artists and art centers, and lack of public attention. The success of women artists during the first half of the twentieth-century was dependent not only upon

Abstract:

Wild birds rely on plumage for protection, reproductive display, and flight. Alterations to feather structure or color by symbiotic microbes may reduce survival and reproductive fitness. Feathers are waxy oligotrophic environments low in moisture and rich in recalcitrant beta-keratin subject to freezing temperatures and high UV radiation. Ventral feathers were sterilely collected from wild dark-eyed juncos (Junco hyemalis) by mist net capture and shaken in a chaotropic solution to dislodge bacterial cells. More than 300 bacterial isolates, mainly Gram-positive cocci and bacilli, were collected

Abstract:

The Scottish government’s aim of deriving 100 per cent of the nation’s electricity from renewable sources is dependent on the utilisation of wind energy. Social barriers, however, have continued to threaten these targets.

Community benefit schemes in the context of wind power are increasingly provisioned by developers as a means of generating local socio-economic and environmental value, fostering social relations and strengthening acceptance.

A multi-criteria decision aid framework for identifying the most appropriate scheme(s) for a hypothetical wind power project is developed. The framework is based on AHP and PROMETHEE II d

Abstract:

This study addressed spacing between furrows and plants in the cultivation of the quinoa variety Patacamaya. This study took place from 1999 to 2000 in the Mamani community, Ingavi, La Paz, Bolivia. The Patacamaya variety is a cross between Samaranti (sweet) and Kaslala (bitter), with a vegetative cycle of 145 days (semi-early). It has large grains, is sweet, and has a high grain yield. The spaces between furrows were 40, 60, and 80 cm in an experimental design of randomly divided plots with four repetitions. The spaces between furrows were implemented in large plots and the plant spaces as su

Abstract:

Plankton communities are important members of the food web in coastal systems and are regulated by top-down and bottom-up controls. This study examined the influence of bottom-up controls, such as physicochemical factors, and top-down controls, such as predation, on the plankton communities in South Bay, Texas. Microalgal photopigments were ascertained by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the relative abundances of major algal classes. Zooplankters were identified to the lowest possible taxon and enumerated. No spatial trends were observed for the physicochemical facto

Abstract:

This thesis examines the continually reconfiguring response of a youth organization towards a renovation project, Järvalyftet, run by the City of Stockholm in the Million Program suburbs. By analyzing this relationship, I aim to discuss how the youth organization works to mediate inclusion in political and representational spheres. More specifically, I will discuss the intersections between Järvalyftet’s development and the claims of belonging made by the youths upon the particular suburb, Husby, where they resided. My interest lies in understanding the conjuncture and disjuncture of claims th

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Paul T. Christensen<br>Compares globalization's impact on blue-collar workers in Poland and Russia, asking two major questions: Is conventional wisdom about globalization's impact on labor accurate in the Polish and Russian contexts? What shape has Poland and Russia's reintegration into the globalized system taken since the collapse of communism? Following the collapse of communism from 1989 to 1991, there was a great international effort to reintegrate Poland and Russia (and the whole of the former Soviet Union more generally) into the global system. Now, more than ten years l

Abstract:

A challenge related to the expansion of wind power concerns how wind power developers can foster a good relationship with local communities. Building on research on social acceptance for wind power, this thesis addresses two identified gaps. The main focus is a theoretical gap, where previous research is criticized for assuming perfectly flexible organizations when suggesting how social acceptance can be enhanced. Also, an empirical gap is addressed by studying India, a different socio-economic and socio-cultural context compared to western contexts, which previous research has focused on. The

Abstract:

Sustainability is a buzzword covering a variety of fields and subjects. For the purposes of my research sustainability is “the ability to keep going over the long haul. As a value, it refers to giving equal weight in your decisions to the future as well as the present” (Gilman 1). The sustainability movement refers to activists, educators and researchers who are dedicated to finding high quality ways of living in the world that are environmentally benign for all who are now living as well future generations to come (Gilman 1). This research focuses on three women who engage in voluntary simpli
