Abstract:

This doctoral dissertation approaches three plays written by British playwright Caryl Churchill (1938- ): Cloud Nine (1979), Top Girls (1982), and Blue Heart (1997). Her plays deal mainly with systems of oppression and their effects on the individual or on groups of people. These systems of oppression, reminiscent of the Foucauldian power structures, exert their restrictive power over the dispossessed -the working class, women, or gays and lesbians.

The main objective of this dissertation is to demonostrate how a gender and politics-oriented approach to theatre can help to subvert some of the patriarchal and conservative assumptions implicit in traditional theatre. In this respect, the three plays analysed share the presence of recurrent themes: patriarchal society, the nuclear family, colonisation at several levels (race, gender, sexuality), and the capitalist system.

Abstract:

This thesis is primarily concerned with Caryl Churchill and Edward Bond&rsquo
s attempts to implement Brechtian methods of Verfremdungseffekt with the same artistic intent of social change in their plays, Mad Forest and Red, Black and Ignorant. In order to provoke critical and objective thinking, and action for positive change, both of the playwrights make use of Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt techniques of characterization, open-endedness, episodic structure, and audio-visual aids. These techniques let the playwrights present familiar situations, actions and attitudes as if they were unfamiliar so that they could be alienated and evaluated with a critical eye by the audience and the reader. In addition to studying the Brechtian elements in these two plays, this thesis argues that there is a point which drifts Bond&rsquo
s Red, Black and Ignorant from Brechtian dramaturgy and Churchill&rsquo
s Mad Forest
the point is that Red, Black and Ignorant includes non-Brechtian character design aspects and lack of Brechtian audio-visual aids.

Abstract:

Psychobiography is a qualitative approach to exploring and understanding the life story of an individual through the lens of psychological theory. The application of theory is typically conducted on the finished lives of well-known or enigmatic people. This study explores and describes the psychological development across the lifespan of Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, by applying the Individual Psychology of Alfred Adler. Winston Churchill voted the greatest Briton of the twentieth century, was an author, painter, adventure, soldier, politician and Prime Minister that led the United Kingdom during World War Two. Extensive data has been examined in this work to ensure an accurate description of Winston Churchill‘s life. Alexander‘s model of identifying salient themes was used to analyse the data within a conceptual framework derived from the theory. Churchill‘s difficult childhood motivated him to succeed, his passion for the nation of Britain and his dislike of the Nazi regime meant that Churchill was always abreast with current affairs, anticipating every possible scenario of attack. When the time came to fight the Nazi‘s Churchill was ready to die for his country. The research findings highlight Churchill‘s ability to rise above his childhood stigmas and surpass all expectations and so cementing his name into the history of a country he loved and a democratic world he hoped for. Alfred Adler‘s Individual Psychology proposes that an individual‘s potential weaknesses can be used as a means to strive and achieve greatness within their sphere of influence.

Abstract:

JUDGE: Go away Barbara. I've had enough. Should we all be kind? You are lukewarm and will be vomited. There are two camps, Barbara, mine and theirs. Either you are with, or you are against. Although English playwright Caryl Churchill wrote the three scripts examined in this thesis more than thirty years ago, each captures our contemporary zeitgeist in sometimes surprising ways. These works explore the shifting politics of power, revealing binary and essentialist representations that not only continue but have been strengthened on all sides in recent years, suggesting their central importance in defining and controlling culture. This thesis examines how Churchill subverts conventional forms of representation and probes the ways in which she herself has been represented by critics and scholars at various periods of her writing career. It is my contention that these processes operate in tandem, performing an ongoing dialogue. Because of the dynamic nature of this dialogue, the aim here is not so much to provide an increasingly unified or finite understanding of the artistic milieu from which a play emerges, as it is to recognize the level of complexity underlying the mutable and political process of its interpretation. I have undertaken a detailed exploration of three lesser-known short scripts from 1972, a 'watershed' year for Churchill, culminating in the relative success of Owners, her first major stage play. While many of her earlier works have been deserving of further exploration, a number of them have been largely overlooked in the broader environment of her subsequent contribution to contemporary theatre. The particular scripts that I explore in the course of this thesis are: The Hospital at the Time of the Revolution; Schreber's Nervous Illness and The Judge's Wife, an unperformed stage play, a radio play and a television play respectively. These works are worthy of exploration because of their experiments with the politics of subjectivity as it impacts on race, gender and social class, and notions of 'legitimacy' that shift with a person's changing circumstances. Each of these plays implicitly demonstrates the importance of subjectivity in relation to representational power as it places characters who have traditionally been silenced at the centre of the action. I have titled my thesis Caryl Churchill: Representational Negotiations and Provisional Truths. In invoking this title I pre-empt the engagement of a subjective, strategic essentialist approach, both in critiquing this period of Churchill's work and in declaring the assumptions of the arguments contained in the pages that follow.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation examines Winston Churchill's relationship with the Islamic world from 1895 to 1956. It reveals the extent to which Churchill's military and political life became intrinsically connected to the Islamic world, from his tours on the North West frontier in India and Sudan to his position as Colonial Secretary in the early 1920s, and then again during the Second World War and after. By examining Churchill's entire career, this dissertation places Churchill in the context of colonial discourse and reveals the extent to which orientalism influenced his opinions and policies in the Islamic regions of the British Empire. It demonstrates that in the Victorian era, Churchill's thinking was relatively progressive in his imperial understanding of the Islamic world. By the post-World War Two era, however, these paternalistic views seemed almost reactionary. The dissertation indicates that for much of his career Churchill was not, as conventionally deemed, indifferent to matters in Islamic regions and even contemptuous of Islam. In so doing, it critiques the large body of work surrounding Churchill's relationship with the Empire, but more importantly, it addresses historiographical voids regarding Churchill's attitude towards the Islamic Middle East and the Islamic World in general. By addressing these voids, this dissertation complements the existing literature surrounding Churchill and the Middle East.

Abstract:

Winston S. Churchill was a war leader during two world wars, and yet there are few substantive studies of his younger years when he was a practising soldier. This thesis aims to study the early intellectual development of Churchill in those areas which have direct impact on the art of war. The chapters are arranged narratively (Chapters 2-3) and thematically (Chapters 4-8). The introduction covers the scope and methodology of the work. Chapters 2-3 give an account of Churchill's early years, and trace the development of several prominent features of his character that helped form and inform the presuppositions of his later military intellectual development. Chapter 4 addresses Churchill's interactions with late Victorian cavalry doctrine and debate. Chapters 5-7 each address themes of an expanding scope of influence and conceptualization: first, the tactics of war; second, the policy and strategy of war; and finally, Churchill's conceptions of war. The conclusion summarizes the hallmarks and syntheses of Churchill's early military intellectual development, and identifies judgments which can be drawn about his perspicacity as soldier and commander.

Abstract:

Esta tesis explora la poética de la dramaturga inglesa Caryl Churchill (1938), una de las figuras fundamentales de la dramaturgia inglesa contemporánea. Su capacidad para articular de forma innovadora la relación entre forma y contenido será objeto de nuestro estudio.Hemos dividido nuestro estudio en tres grandes bloques. Nuestra primera ocupación se centra en las minorías, los excluidos. La figura del Otro es uno de los grandes temas y ocupaciones de Churchill. La autora explora la conversión en realidades fantasmáticas del Otro. Churchill analiza los fantasmas y las realidades fantasmáticas que detecta en la contemporaneidad. En los dos primeros capítulos, a partir de los análisis de Vinegar Tom y The Hospital At the Time of the Revolution, veremos cómo realiza su exploración de las minorías a partir de los procesos en que fueron construidas. Colocaremos nuestra mirada y la suya sobre la Historia colectiva e individual como fantasma, el individuo como fantasma, a partir de A Number, y el Estado como fantasma con la obra Mad Forest. Y observaremos que tipos de presencias fantasmáticas lleva a escena, misión para la que Churchill llega a deconstruir el concepto de presencia, en la pieza Hotel. Cierra la primera parte Seven Jewish Children, una pieza breve donde Churchill concentra los análisis anteriores. En la pieza hallamos a la vida misma desposeída. Ésta se convierte en un espacio concentrado de todo lo simulacral. La segunda parte de este estudio explora el papel del lenguaje en la obra de Caryl Churchill. Veremos: cómo explora la relación entre significante y significado, su proyecto de representar lo irrepresentable y cómo lo lleva a cabo, su interés por lenguajes y estructuras de otros ámbitos que traslada a la literatura dramática y al teatro, por ejemplo en Traps, la relación entre semejanza y similitud, en This is a Chair; y finalmente, las consecuencias de la pérdida de las marcas en las cosas, en Heart’s Desire: pérdida señalada por Foucault en Las palabras y las cosas. Churchill también aproxima el balbuceo infantil con lo senil. Reconfigura sonoramente el lenguaje y pone en evidencia que: el lenguaje del mundo está dañado a partir de The Skriker. El tercer bloque de este estudio gira en torno a ese gran asunto: el capitalismo y las relaciones despersonalizadas que crea. Nos interesaremos por alguno de sus diversos orígenes. En Light Shining in Buchkinghamshire, acudimos a un momento particular de la historia de Inglaterra, un momento lleno de esperanza donde todo era posible pero en el que la revolución no llegó a suceder al ser traicionada por la propiedad. Continuaremos con el examen de la bipartición de la sociedad creada entre propietarios y desposeídos siguiendo esquemas religiosos. Esta relación sella un nuevo tipo de vínculos entre los individuos que Churchill dramatiza en Owners. A continuación asistimos a la pérdida del referente real entre los signos monetarios, donde estos pasan a volar libremente. Pretendemos esclarecer los significados del sistema de la “propiedad” en la obra de la autora inglesa y las consecuencias, que muestra Churchill, del sistema capitalista en la creación de esta época difusa que es la contemporaneidad y la globalización. Este nuevo mundo toma la forma de un gran musical en la obra dramática Serious Money. Después de las revoluciones capitalistas correspondientes y su desarrollo, se llega al capitalismo avanzado; paradigma fundamental en la globalización, en Drunk Enough to say I LoveYou?, última pieza de nuestro análisis.
This thesis explores the poetics of the English playwright Caryl Churchill (1938), one of the essential figures of the English contemporary dramaturgy. Her aptitude to articulate in an innovative way the relationship between form and content will be the object of our study. We have divided this work in three big blocks. Our first occupation is about the minorities, the excluded ones. The figure of the Other is one of the main topics of Churchill. The playwright explores the conversion of the Otherinto different phantasmatic realities. Churchill analyses the ghosts and the phantasmatic realities that she detects in the contemporaneousness. In the first two chapters, from the analysis of Vinegar Tom and The Hospital At the Time of the Revolution, we will see how she carries outthe exploration of the minorities throughout the processes in which they were constructed. We will place our look and hers on the collective and individual History as a ghost, the individual as a ghost, in the playA Number; and the State as a ghost in the play Mad Forest. And we will observe which phantasmatic presences she leads to the scene. For this mission, Churchill even deconstructs the concept of presence in the play Hotel. The first part ends with Seven Jewish Children, a brief play where Churchill concentrates the previously mentioned analyses. In this play we find the life itself dispossessed. It turns into a concentrated space of everything that is simulated. The second part of this study explores the role of language in Caryl Churchill’s work. We will see: how she explores the relation between significant and meaning, her project to represent the non-representable and how she carries it out, her interest for languages and structures of other areas, which she moves to the dramatic literature and the theatre, for example in Traps, the relation between similitude and resemblance, in This is a Chair; and finally, the consequences of the loss of the brands in the things, in Heart's Desire: loss distinguished by Foucault in The words and the things. Churchill also brings near the infantile babbling to the senile one. She re-forms sonorously the language and reveals that: the language of the world is damaged, as we can see in The Skriker. The third block of this study turns around this great matter: the capitalism and the depersonalized relationships that it generates. We will be interested in some of its several origins. In Light Shining in Buchkinghamshire, we come to a particular moment in the history of England. A moment full of hope, where everything was possible but where the revolution did not manage to happen, because it was betrayed by the property. We will continue with the examination of the division created between owners and landless, following religious schemes. This relationship seals new types of links amongst the individuals that Churchill dramatizes in Owners. Later on, we are present during the loss of the real model amongst the monetary signs, where they start to fly freely. We try to clarify the meanings of the system of "property" in the work of the English playwright and the consequences of the capitalist system in the creation of this diffused era that is the contemporaneousness and the globalization, as Churchill shows. This new world takes the form of a great musical in the play Serious Money. After the corresponding capitalist revolutions and their development, we arrive to the advanced capitalism: essential paradigm in globalization, as seen in Drunk Enough to say I Love You?, last play of our analysis.

Abstract:

This study looks at the governments' handling of industrial unrest in the decade following the end of the Second World War. The period encompasses both the Attlee administrations of 1945-51 and the post-war Churchill government of the early 1950's. The period of 1945-55 was characterised by a relatively low level of strike activity. Nevertheless, a number of large scale, unofficial strikes broke out, especially on the docks which caused severe economic dislocation. In the first part of this study I focus on the re-establishment of an emergencies supply organisation after 1945 and on the use by the Attlee governments of the traditional strike-breaking instruments of the armed forces and civilian volunteers. I examine the role of the law in industrial disputes of the period and I analyse the pressure brought to bear on unofficial strikers through the withholding of state benefits. I also look at the attempts by the government to exert control over the coverage of disputes by the BBC. The study is placed in the economic context of the period and an analysis is also made of the effect of the Cold War on the government's attitude to strikes. In the second part I look at the return of a Conservative administration, pledged to following a policy of industrial conciliation after the bitterness of the interwar years. By looking at the period as a whole I am able to draw a comparison between the Attlee and Churchill administrations, to ascertain to what extent the consensus in economic policy was mirrored by a consensus in the industrial sphere.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
O presente trabalho pretende analisar o texto teatral Sete Crianças Judias de Caryl Churchill como um jogo de profanação política. Escrita em 2009, a obra é uma resposta artística e política da autora à operação militar israelense ocorrida em Gaza em 2008/09 e gerou fortes repercussões no mundo todo, inclusive acusações de antissemitismo. O texto é analisado em seu caráter híbrido que transita entre gêneros líricos e épicos, e entre formas dramáticas/melodramáticas e formas não mais dramáticas. Assim, a estrutura formal será abordada a partir da ideia de texto rapsódico, proposta por Sarrazac (2002). A partir do conceito tradicional de jogo conforme Huizinga (2000) e Caillois (1990), e suas correlações com a forma dramática absoluta, a primeira cena é compreendida como a proposição de um jogo melodramático localizado em um passado longínquo. Acordo esse que não será cumprido. Para compreender o jogo proposto pela autora, recorro a três autores principais. 1 - A visão de jogo infinito de Carse (1986) para descrever o dispositivo de abertura temporal e o descumprimento do acordo melodramático. 2- A noção de Gadamer (1999) sobre a capacidade do jogo de mobilizar e transformar indivíduo e sociedade para descrever os dispositivos de deslocamento e mobilizações intra e extraficcionais do texto. 3- A provocação de Agamben (2007), ao eleger como tarefa política do jogo o ato profanador. Nesse trabalho sustento a hipótese de que Sete Crianças Judias profana simbolicamente o uso consagrado do gênero melodramático para a manutenção de uma moralidade instituída, do uso da concepção moderna do imaginário da criança como objeto de justificativa da guerra, e do caráter mítico do discurso histórico oficial israelense.

Full text

Abstract:

This is a thesis in the historical geography of textual reception and meaning. Its focus is Influences of geographic environment (1911), by American geographer Ellen Churchill Semple (1861–1932). Semple’s book, a treatise on environmentalism, coincided with the emergence of geography in North America and Britain as an independent academic discipline, and it exerted an important but varied influence on generations of geographers. For those who considered it a monument to Semple’s scholarship and erudition, it was a timely manifesto for a scientific approach to geographical research. For others, Influences was conceptually flawed—a text which might damage geography’s emergent academic legitimacy and disciplinary credibility. Accepted by some, repudiated by others, Influences was lauded and criticized in almost equal measure. By attention to archival records, personal correspondence, published reviews, provenance, and marginalia—the material traces of its reading—the thesis examines the different reactions to Influences, and shows that it is possible to trace a geography of the book’s reception: to identify why it was encountered differently by different people, at different times and in different places. Informed by work in literary theory, book history, and the history of science, this thesis outlines the contribution that geography, or a geographical sensibility, can make to understanding the way knowledge and ideas in the guise of the printed text are conceived, transmitted, and received. By exploring the particular characteristics of Influences’ diffusion, the thesis offers a broader perspective on the different means by which scientific knowledge circulates; how its credibility is assessed; and how judgements as to its acceptance or rejection are made. In reading thus the different receptions of Semple’s text, the thesis proposes ways in which geographers might usefully engage with the cultural study of print in historical and geographical context.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to explore the ways in which Caryl Churchill has utilised existing dramatic structural models in six of her text-based stage plays. The study takes the three dramaturgical models most commonly found in Churchill's work, Brechtian epic, farce and absurdism and examines how the playwright appropriates these, adapting them to new content, and ultimately subverting them; transmuting their qualities into new innovative form. The study asserts the right of the playwright to use all of the dramaturgical knowledge at her* disposal against a background of theoretical writing, some of which attempts to attach an ethical or moral status to individual dramaturgical theories. This study concludes that no dramaturgical form is inherently moral or immoral, rather, it is the context in which it is used that determines the success and ethical status of a dramatic structural form in any given piece of drama.

Abstract:

Critics have often viewed Caryl Churchill as a comic playwright but have never analysed her methods and materials. I made a study of her plays in order to uncover the comic techniques she uses, find out why she chooses to use comedy when her themes are so serious and painful, and decipher whether or not she is part of the continuum of literary comic tradition. My study of Top Girls, Cloud 9, Vinegar Tom, Light Shining In Buckinghamshire, Fen and Owners reveals that Churchill makes extensive use of structural principles of the sort employed by the great masters and described by theorists throughout the history of stage comedy.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to study how the conservatism have changed in the conservative party in the United Kingdom and what influence the party leader seems to have over the party ideology. To answer this purpose an idea analysis is used and a material consisting of election manifestos from three periods of the party´s history (Churchill, Thatcher and Cameron) but even political biographies of the leaders. The result shows some difference between the manifestos and the leaders, but even some similarities. One difference, but also a similarity over time, is the view of a cooperation in Europe. Churchill’s manifestos are positive to a cooperation between nations in Europe, Thatcher and Cameron there manifestos share the same skeptics against a further European cooperation. One similarity over time is the support for family as one of the central values in the country. About the leaders and the manifestos there are some similarities, but also some difference between them. Example of similarities are Churchill and the manifestos support full employment, Thatcher and the manifestos support aim on inflation. Cameron is personally divvied in his relation to trade unions and so is the manifestos. One difference between Churchill and the manifestos is that Churchill accepted capital punishment, but the manifestos never take a stand in this issue. Thatcher and the manifestos don’t share the same view on homosexuality rights, Thatcher is negative and the manifestos not even take a stand. Cameron´s view on privatization is unown, but the manifestos are positive.

Abstract:

Étude comparative des discours de guerre de David Lloyd George et Winston ChurchillObjets de communication, voire de propagande, les discours de guerre ont pris une place prépondérante au cours du 20ème siècle grâce aux valeurs idéologiques qu’ils véhiculent et à leur portée, à l’heure de la communication de masse. Art millénaire, la prise de parole en public obéit à des codes, la rhétorique, afin de transmettre au mieux un message qui, en temps de guerre, peut s’avérer décisif.Le siècle dernier a été le théâtre de deux conflits mondiaux qui ont vu les puissances démocratiques s’opposer à des régimes autoritaires. Si les démocraties ont triomphé au final, le système politique de ces pays a toutefois dû évoluer, temporairement, avec l’émergence de leaders charismatiques. Cette thèse vise à étudier les discours de guerre de deux de ces leaders, David Lloyd George et Winston Churchill, Premiers ministres du seul pays qui, tout au long des deux guerres mondiales, est resté ferme face à la menace totalitaire. Ils ont tous deux apporté une vision nouvelle où ils ont tenté de dépasser l’approche politique traditionnelle britannique en centralisant le pouvoir et en essayant d’incarner leur pays.Deux guerres mondiales ont produit deux Premiers ministres britanniques aux pouvoirs accrus, à la personnalité très forte et au talent oratoire inégalé. Cependant, le destin politique et la mémoire collective des deux hommes, malgré leur victoire, sont diamétralement opposés. Lloyd George est devenu Premier ministre lorsque son parti a remporté les élections de 1918 et s’est maintenu aux rênes du pouvoir jusqu’en 1922. Churchill, lui, a subi une cuisante défaite en 1945 et a dû attendre 1951 pour redevenir Premier ministre, de façon démocratique cette fois-ci. Sur le long terme, la situation s’inverse. Lloyd George est presque sorti de la mémoire collective alors que Churchill reste une figure héroïque en Grande-Bretagne, et dans le monde anglo-saxon en général.Notre étude cherche à comprendre si ces destins en miroir peuvent être expliqués par les discours que les deux hommes ont prononcés durant leur mandat en temps de guerre. La comparaison entre leurs discours nous permettra de mieux comprendre leur leadership respectif ainsi que les mythes politiques qu’ils ont développés. C’est dans ces mythes, totalement différents, que nous trouverons la réponse à nos interrogations
Comparative study of David Lloyd George’s and Winston Churchill’s war speechesAs objects of communication, even of propaganda, war speeches acquired a leading role in the 20th century thanks to the ideological values they carry and the impact they have, at the time of mass communication. As an ancient art, public speaking obeys the rules of rhetoric, so as to best convey a message, which, in wartime, might prove decisive.Two worldwide conflicts in which democratic powers faced authoritarian regimes occurred last century. If democracies eventually won, their political systems had to evolve, temporarily, thanks to the emergence of charismatic leaders. This thesis aims to study the war speeches of two of these leaders, David Lloyd George and Winston Churchill, the Prime Ministers of the only country which, throughout the two wars, stood firm against the totalitarian threat. They both came up with a new vision in which they tried to go beyond the traditional British political approach by centralizing power and embodying their nation.Two world wars produced two British Prime Ministers with augmented powers, strong personalities and unrivalled oratory talent. However, their political destinies and the different ways they are remembered, in spite of their victories, are completely different. Lloyd George became Prime Minister when his party won the 1918 general election and he managed to wield power until 1922. Churchill, on the other hand, suffered a terrible defeat in 1945 and he had to wait until 1951 to be Prime Minister once again, this time democratically. In the long run, the opposite is true. Lloyd George is almost wiped off from collective memory whereas Churchill has remained a heroic figure in Great Britain, and in the Anglo-Saxon world at large.Our study seeks to understand if these mirror destinies can be accounted for by the speeches the two men delivered during their wartime premierships. Comparing their speeches will help us better understand their respective leaderships and the political myth each of them developed. In both myths, which are totally different, we will find the answers to our questions

Abstract:

This thesis explores the Churchill Weavers stereocards housed at the Kentucky Historical Society and Berea College based on visual analysis. By examining the stereocards as advertisements and comparing them to a series of short films created by the company, I will discuss how the Churchill Weavers created a brand that emphasized both an image of traditional American rural production and modern urban consumption. I will further discuss how the marketing strategies used by the Churchill Weavers exemplify a larger trend in American advertising in the years following World War Two.

Abstract:

Caryl Churchill’s play, Love and Information, presents a shift in focus from unstable personal and political identity towards unstable logical identity, a philosophical concept that takes identity out of the realm of identity politics.. As a new play Love and Information has understandably been subject to very little scholarly analysis. This thesis situates the play within Churchill’s corpus in order to consider how the depersonalized identities of this play fit within the broader scope of Churchill’s work. Anchored in Elin Diamond’s study of gender identity in Churchill’s corpus, this thesis will further incorporate theories of logical identity as well as theories of language in order to define what I argue is Churchill’s shift towards logical identity. Through a study of both the text of Love and Information and the 2014 New York première, I conclude that Love and Information represents a shift in focus while Churchill maintains her playwriting methodology.

Full text

Abstract:

L'approche traditionnelle de la qualité de l'audit débouche sur une incapacité à évaluer la pertinence des travaux d'audit menés. Nous estimons que le contrôle de la qualité de l'audit doit désormais se situer au niveau de la mise en œuvre. Il s'agit désormais de mesurer l'adaptabilité des travaux d'audit réalisés aux zones de risque de l'entreprise. L'objectif principal de cette thèse est de développer des échelles de mesure des travaux d'audit interne et externe permettant l'expérimentation de cette nouvelle approche d'évaluation. En se limitant à une vision " contractualiste " de la firme, la conception et la validation des échelles de mesure sont réalisées dans le cadre d'un protocole expérimental selon le paradigme de Churchill. Articulant des phases quantitatives basées sur deux questionnaires de recherche (141 répondants) et des phases qualitatives (entretiens avec les experts de l'audit), cette démarche a démontré la fiabilité et la validité de la majorité des échelles obtenues
The traditional approach of audit quality is today unable to allow a real evaluation of the adequacy of the audit tasks realized. We believe that the control of audit quality must now repose on the adequacy of the audit programs to the risks facing the firm. The main aim of this thesis is to develop scales, for measuring internal and external audit tasks, which will enable to experiment this new evaluation approach. By considering only the "contractualist" vision of the firm, the design and validation of measurement scales are realised within the framework of an experimental protocol according to Churchill's paradigm. This approach has confirmed the reliability and validity of the majority of the scales obtained, by linking up two distinctive phases: quantitative phases based on two research questionnaires (141 respondents) and qualitative phases based on interviews with audit experts

Abstract:

The exegesis and accompanying playscript 3606202 is concerned with how the structural framework of a play might be manipulated to help deliver a writer's response to global events. The exegesis looks at examples of writers who have responded to global events over the last several decades and examines as a case study the structure of Caryl Churchill's play Far Away. The writer then applies a similar structural blueprint to the writing of his play 3606202 and reflects on the outcomes such a structure achieved. As part of this reflection, the exegesis explores how the writer's desire to respond to global events led him to consider the impacts of structure on the sub-textual articulation of themes within a playscript. The exegesis concludes by detailing the findings of an experiment conducted at the reading of his play and its professional presentation within the Wharf2Loud season at the Sydney Theatre Company.

Abstract:

Subjugated groups studied by discourses of feminism and postcolonialism are commonly oppressed by white, male, imperial power systems. As different marginalized groups are exploited by the same dominant ideology the disparate discourses should collaborate in an attempt to fight the powers of oppression en masse. This thesis will explore not only how feminism and postcolonialism should collaborate, but that they have already been doing so for hundreds of years. In the seventeenth century the playwright Aphra Behn was already exploring the discourses as inseparable, and three-hundred-years later, playwright Caryl Churchill continues to do the same. By studying conventions of drama throughout various theatre movements, such as Restoration and Epic theatre, I will show how class, gender, and race have always been cultural issues as long as Britain has had imperial status.
