Abstract:

This qualitative study sought to examine the experience of second-generation Middle Eastern Coptic Americans managing their multicultural identity and its impact on their relationships. Semi-structured interviews regarding how participants defined themselves, how they represented their identity to others, how they balanced the values, beliefs, and traditions came to take care of their parents, as well as its impact on their relationships, including family, friends, and significant others. The study addressed both challenges and advantages of multiculturalism. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and themes were organized around the areas of inquiry. Participants spoke about highlighting their religious identity to avoid assumptions, the limitations of the Middle Eastern label for Copts, people's lack of understanding about the Coptic faith, the overlap between cultures. They also discussed their identity in terms of internal conflict, external conflict with parents over values and cultural distance, as well as their preferences in relationship choices. Participants addressed advantages in multiculturalism in their ability to relate to others, feeling a strong sense of community, as well as feeling uniqueness and pride in their identity. Limitations, clinical implications, and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract:

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur les musiques coptes d’Égypte dans leurs dimensions anthropologique, socio-politique et historique, dans un pays où cette communauté religieuse est en situation clairement minoritaire. Une première partie présente l’ethnographie d’un monastère de Haute-Égypte, Dayr el-Moḥâreb, et des villages qui en forment la paroisse, pour dresser le contexte humain de ces pratiques musicales. Une deuxième étudie successivement les parties liturgique et paraliturgique, en pleine expansion, du répertoire, suivies par une présentation des différents modes de transmission constatables de nos jours. Une troisième, enfin, aborde l’évolution des musiques coptes depuis le XIXe siècle à travers l’étude de l’influence du Renouveau copte et de son implication sur les effets de patrimonialisation, de rigidification et de transformation du répertoire musical. La musique copte s’inscrit-elle simplement dans la continuité de l’ancienne civilisation égyptienne, comme le souligne à loisir le discours identitaire des coptes en ce début de XXIe siècle et conforté en cela par les travaux de certains musicologues orientalistes ? Ou bien est-il temps de parler de « musiques coptes » au pluriel, du fait des nombreuses influences culturelles, sémitique ancienne, grecque, arabe et occidentale qui ont de tout temps touché cette tradition, et plus encore au cours du XXe siècle ?
This dissertation focuses on Egyptian Coptic Music in their anthropological, socio-political and historical dimensions, added to the fact that the Coptic community is a religious minority in Egypt nowadays. The first part will present the ethnography of a monastery from Upper Egypt, Dayr el-Moḥâreb, and the surrounding villages constituting the parish. It will describe the human context of musical practices. The second part will focuse on the repertoire’s liturgy and paraliturgy, before considering the different actual ways of transmission. The third part will study the evolution of Coptic Music since the 19th century through the influence of the Coptic Revival, and its consequences on the Coptic Music. Does, nowadays, Coptic Music fits in the line of ancient Egyptian civilisation as it is underlined in the discourses of the orientalists and musicologists, and in the identity rhetoric of the Copts? Can we speak about “Coptic Music” in plural including many cultural influences as Ancient Semitic, Greek, Arab and the West, especially during the 20th century?

Abstract:

Le théâtre de Copi nous transporte dans un univers imprégné de violence et de transgression, deux traits majeurs de la création de cet auteur singulier qui s’expose dans des prises de risques constantes, personnelles et artistiques. Il fait de son théâtre écrit à Paris, au cours des années soixante-dix, un espace où se joue la lutte pour la liberté du corps et de l’(homo)sexualité. Copi, artiste multiforme, contestataire et antisystème, n’eut de cesse de combattre et de déconstruire dramaturgiquement le langage hégémonique oppressif hétérosexuel. L’objectif de notre recherche sera d’aborder l’oeuvre de Copi à partir des processus et des stratégies trans-. pour analyser comment les concepts de transculturalité, de transidentité et de trans(s)exualité, imbriqués thématiquement à travers l’expérience du voyage, de l’exil et de l’errance, se transforment en un processus d’apprentissage (perception de la réalité) que Copi utilisera magistralement comme stratégie de représentation dans sa production littéraire et sa création artistique. Ses “monstres” ou ses “êtres queers”, “bizarres”, “anormaux” (des travestis, des homosexuels, des folles, des transexuels, des bisexuels, des queers, etc.), errent librement dans son univers imaginaire subversif pour nous rappeler qu’ils furent stigmatisés et victimes de l’insulte “queer”, selon Judith Butler “paralysante”, et prononcée, dans les termes de Paul B. Preciado, par des “sujets hétérosexuels”
Copi’s theatre leads straight to a universe full of violence and transgression; two highly distinctive features of a unique author who exposes himself dealing with complex topics and polemics such as sexuality in a decade (the 1970’s) in which the revolutionary spirit tends to fight for freedom of bodies and for (homo)sexuality. Copi was one of those rebel authors, anti-system who showed his opposition to the hegemony of the oppressive heteronormed language. Our goal in this study is to understand Copi’s works from trans- strategies and processes, in order to analyse how the concepts of transculturality, transidentity and trans(s)exuality, interlinked to the experience of travel, exile, restless wandering transform into a learning process (perception of reality) that Copi uses as a representative strategy in his literary production and artistic creation. His « monsters » or « queer people », « weirdos », « abnormal » (drag artists, homosexuals, pussies, transsexuals, bisexuals, queers and others, etc.) wander freely around in his subversive imaginary universe to remind us that they once were stigmatized and called « queer », which is according to Judith Butler is a paralyzing insult and pronounced, in Paul B. Preciado’s terms, by « heterosexual subjects »

Abstract:

Il lavoro di tesi si focalizza su due meccanismi di self-enhancement, le positive illusions e il self-serving bias, e li analizza nel contesto della relazione di coppia, con particolare attenzione all’influenza che una strategia di parenting disfunzionale come l’intrusive parenting esercita su di essi. La tesi si articola in tre studi: il primo ed il secondo studio, adottando un approccio quantitativo, si focalizzano sul costrutto delle positive illusions, mentre il terzo, attraverso un disegno sperimentale, sul costrutto del self-serving bias.
Self-enhancement is a self-motive which pushes individuals to increase positive self-views and to protect their self-concept from negative information. Two mechanisms associated with the self-enhancement motive, positive illusions and the self-serving bias, will be analyzed in the context of couple relationship. Positive illusions deal with the tendency to perceive one’s relationship favorably when compared to the couple relationship of the average other. The self-serving bias relates to the tendency to make internal responsibility attributions for positive events but to make external responsibility attributions for negative events; however, when individuals collaborate with a close partner on an interdependent-outcome task, they refrain from self-serving attributions or even manifest the other-serving bias. These mechanisms serve the purpose of maintaining and protecting a relationship that is central in one’s couple identity. The present work will also focus on the influence that an insidious parental behavior like intrusive parenting exerts on these two biases pro-relationship and, consequently, on couple identity. Study 1 and 2 are dedicated to the examination of couple positive illusions in couples in transition to marriage whereas study 3 investigates the self-serving bias in dating partners.

Full text

Abstract:

La communauté chrétienne d'Egypte, au Moyen Age, est connue pour les programmes iconographiques de ses monastères. Le mobilier liturgique constitue un autre support d'une production artistique intense, qui se veut le miroir d'interactions avec d'autres communautés. Au-delà des motifs, le décor de ces objets révèle des enjeux sociaux et économiques caractéristiques de la condition, évolutive, des coptes, au cours du Moyen Age. Si la période mam1üke est traditionnellement assimilée à une forte répression des chrétiens, et à leur déclin, nous avons pourtant conservé de cette période un nombre important d'objets au décor de très grande qualité. II est donc indispensable de replacer ces objets dans leur contexte social réel, dans lequel le commissionnaire tient un rôle essentiel. C'est ainsi grâce à l'élite civile urbaine, copte comme musulmane ou juive, que se développent les arts et la littérature, et qu'un décor original est introduit, notamment, sur certains objets de mobilier liturgique. Ce décor reflète les goûts de l'élite civile, eux-mêmes copiés sur les objets produits pour les princes. L'écran de sanctuaire constitue notamment le support de développement d'un répertoire iconographique arabe, partagé par toutes les communautés.

Full text

Abstract:

La tesi analizza il significato dell'abitazione nella società contemporanea, dove il processo di individualizzazione e la crescente importanza dell'esperienza quotidiana come spazio in cui i soggetti costruiscono il senso del loro agire, rendono la casa un oggetto di studio privilegiato. La trattazione si apre con un'analisi dell'abitare che prende in considerazione i principali significati legati alla casa, riconducibili essenzialmente alle due sfere semantiche dei termini inglesi house e home, e traccia una breve storia dello spazio domestico italiano dagli anni cinquanta fino ai giorni nostri. Successivamente, l'analisi viene contestualizzata nella cultura italiana contemporanea; innanzitutto, l'attenzione è puntata sulla house, con la descrizione del quadro abitativo attuale da un punto di vista quantitativo e strutturale. Poi, ci si sofferma sulla home, con l'analisi della relazione tra la casa, i bisogni e la cultura nella società contemporanea e, in particolare, viene approfondito il ruolo dell'abitazione come strumento di comunicazione dell'identità. Dopo questo inquadramento generale, il focus si sposta sulle giovani coppie: con riferimento ai risultati della ricerca empirica, vengono descritte le tappe del processo del “metter su casa” e il modo in cui oggi si caratterizza il rapporto tra le giovani coppie e l'abitazione.
The thesis analyses the meaning of the couple house/home in contemporary society. The actual social context is characterized by a process of individualization and by the increasing importance of daily experience as a space where individuals try to build the meaning of their behaviour: these elements make house/home an interesting subject of study. The thesis starts with an analysis of inhabiting and of its main meanings, which are essentially linked to the two semantic areas of house and home, and describes a short history of Italian domestic space from fifties to our days. Then, the analysis focuses on contemporary Italian culture; first, the reasoning points attention towards the house, with the description of the actual dwelling situation from a quantitative and structural point of view. Then, the treatment examines the home, with the analysis of home-needs-culture relation, and, in particular, analyses the home role as an identity communication tool. After the analysis of the general situation, the focus moves to young couples: with reference to the empiric research, the treatment describes the steps of the “step up house” process and the particular relation between young couples and their home.

Full text

Abstract:

Sebbene la presenza dei figli degli migranti stia assumendo sempre maggior rilievo anche in Italia la ricerca ha posto poca attenzione alle loro scelte di consumo mediale e all’appropriazione dei media come risorse sociali ed ambientali. La tesi si focalizza sul caso delle giovani donne di origine araba per indagare il ruolo giocato dal consumo di notizie nella cornice più complessa dei processi di negoziazione di identità. Un focus è riservato alle tre dimensioni di appartenenze, partecipazione e trasmissione culturale tra generazioni – in relazione alle madri e ai coetanei. Un’indagine, a livello più “macro”, indaga le possibili implicazioni per il dialogo interculturale. Attraverso la raccolta di quarantotto storie di vita un primo livello di analisi diacronico indaga presenza e intensità del consumo di news nelle fasi della vita per comprendere se possa rappresentare un rito di passaggio all’età adulta, mentre una seconda pista cerca di comprendere come esso si leghi alla questione del sentirsi “cittadini”, in termini di riconoscimento, appartenenza e per scoprire se il consumo di news possa diventare una risorsa per essere soggetti attivi nella sfera pubblica. Tutte le giovani donne di origine araba vivono a Milano, hanno tra i diciotto e i trentadue anni e differiscono per le variabili di 1) nascita o arrivo in Italia dopo i 6 anni; 2) attivismo e 3) religiosità (musulmane, copte ortodosse, atee).
Although the presence of migrants’ sons and daughters is gaining more and more importance also in Italy, the research have not given special attention to their choices concerning media consumption and to the appropriation of the media as social and environmental resources. This thesis is focused on the case of young women of Arab origin in order to investigate the intersections between news consumption and the negotiation of the social identity. A first focus is on three dimensions: participation, belonging and cultural transmission – in comparison with mothers and peers. A second “macro” level of the research investigates the implications as regard to intercultural dialogue. Through the collection of forty-eight life histories, a first level of diachronic analysis investigates the presence and the intensity of news consumption in different stages in order to understand if it could be a rite of passage to the adulthood, while a second track tries to understand how this is connected to the feeling of being “citizens”, in terms of identification, belonging and to investigate if news consumption may be a resource to be active citizens in the public sphere. All young women of Arab origin live in Milan, they are between eighteen and thirty-two years old, and differ in variables 1) they were born or arrived in Italy since they were 6 years old, 2) activism and 3) religion (Muslims, Coptic Orthodox or atheists).

Abstract:

The purpose of this current study was to determine the role of acculturation, ethnic identity, and religious fatalism regarding attitudes towards seeking psychological help among Coptic (Egyptian Christian) Americans. In addition, differences between groups of gender and generational status, first-generation adult immigrants versus U.S.-born second-generation Copts, were analyzed. The study had a total sample of 91 individuals that self-identified as Coptic by race and/or Coptic Orthodox by religion, who voluntarily completed an anonymous online questionnaire. Results indicate that ethnic identity and acculturation are strong predictors of religious fatalistic beliefs, and those who identified as having more Arab ethnic identity and less assimilation to dominate culture have stronger religious fatalistic beliefs than those who identified with more western culture and an American ethnic identity. However, religious fatalism and ethnic identity were not significant predictors of attitudes towards seeking psychological help, and other variables such as stigma, language barriers, and skepticism of western psychology may be better predictors of attitudes towards seeking psychological help. Between groups comparisons identified subtle differences between males and females, and between first and second-generation Coptic Americans on acculturation, ethnic identity, and religious fatalism, but the groups were not statistically significant from one another. Clinical implications and directions for future research will also be discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

L’étude que je propose se penchera sur les relations entre l’onomastique et l’identité sexuelle. Elle s’appuiera sur les nouvelles Rose de Guy de Maupassant (1884) et Sarrasine de Honoré de Balzac (1830), deux récits où les chutes consistent en la révélation du « véritable » sexe d’un personnage en contradiction avec son patronyme : par exemple, Rose est en fait un évadé et Zambinella, un castrat. Du même coup, ces révélations sèment le doute sur l’identité sexuelle de tous les autres personnages. Ma nouvelle, Copie Conforme, explore la relation entre deux personnages aux identités sexuelles troubles : l’écrivain Claude Cyriltochter, arrêté et condamné à mort au Kentucky, après le massacre d’une famille puritaine de Louisville, et le journaliste, Cameron Crow. À la recherche de la réelle identité de l’écrivain incarcéré, il se confie à l’énigmatique Charlie Cooper, serveuse androgyne au passé trouble et de qui il s’entiche. Les théories Queer (Foucault, Sedgwick, Butler) spéculaient sur ce qui pouvait bien exister hors de l’hétérosexisme, par-delà le féminin et le masculin, sans jamais réellement avoir la capacité du laboratoire littéraire qui, dès le 19e siècle, avait soulevé ces questions au moment même où, sur le plan historique, se forgeait à partir de la médecine légale l’identité sexuelle moderne – traces qu’on retrouve principalement dans Rose et Sarrasine. Ainsi, mon essai et ma nouvelle proposent d’analyser et d’expérimenter les limites du langage, de découvrir comment certains auteurs s’en sont affranchis, et cela, me semble-t-il, commence dès le Nom propre.
