Full textThe thesis "alain fournier his writing and culture" brings into question the legends generated by many critics and hagiographers concerning the author of le grand meaulnes. The correspondance between. A. Fournier and j. Riviere is the life line without which it is impossible to recount his formative years which teemed with bookish encounters. The authors most frequently and enthusiastically read were claudel and gide in whom it is easy to recognize the intellectual mentors who played such a vital part in unfolding fournier's creative processes and his aesthetics regarding the novel. Alain fournier's artistic education owes a lot to the preraphaelites (which he discovered during his time in the united kingdom) and to symbolist painters such as carriere and redon : the dreamlike quality which enshrouds the grand meaulnes might well have been instigated by them. M. Denis a pre-war painter belonging to a christian revival group, no doubt rekindled in fournier the faith of his childhood. In this way alain-fournier is placed in relation to the philosophical and spiritual trends of the years 1900 to 1913. This was a time when the intellectual elite of french youth, haunted by tormented self-questioning, tended to look to well-known converts such as claudel, peguy, leon bloy. In this work are laid out he complex stages of his spiritual evolution. His mystical yearnings are not compatible with doctrines and orthodoxy

Full textUnlike other regions of the Third World, where the influence of France was decisive and uninterrupted (Middle East, Maghreb, former French colonies in Central Africa and other countries of Latin America), in Venezuela, there was only a real foreign cultural cooperation policy by the late 1950s. The advent of the oil boom during the interwar period caused the declining of French influence. By the end of the Second World War, French diplomats were aware of Venezuela’s energetic potential, remarking that it was possible to overcome the loss of economic influence by encouraging a genuine cultural cooperation.This cultural cooperation would use political networks joined by Francophile elites, who claimed a common history between France and Venezuela. The study on the long run allows observing the permanence of the Venezuelan political history, in which fits the elements used in the construction of the Venezuelan National sentiment and the influence of French ideas on the project of State modernization.Our study raises issues such as migration, trades and commercial relations. We are particularly interested in the study of diplomatic relationships, since a close up over these can highlight, watermark, many points related to their representations and the political history of both countries. Similarly, it allows approaching what the elite considered identity and cultural affinity. Our sources therefore relate mostly to diplomatic correspondence preserved in the files of La Courneuve and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Caracas. We cross checked with other documentaries, visual and literary sources as well as a certain number of interviews conducted by the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011. Our study is based on the papers related to the history of international relations by Pierre Renouvin and Jean Baptiste Duroselle, revisited by Robert Frank in 2011. We take into consideration the contribution of images, official culture and the influence of cultural patterns, as an attempt to measure the "power" of States (soft power). On this matter, the value that the Venezuelan elites gave to the French cultural and scientific influence, in the XIX century and the beginning of XX (1870-1935), helps to explain to an extend the reason why France has managed to strengthen its presence in Venezuela. Indeed, the decline of the French cultural influence, at a time when relations between the two countries were considerably distended (1936-1960), is concomitant with the loss of its economic and commercial influence. This has resulted in the progressive institutionalization of the culturaldiplomacy strategy (from 1961 up to the present). Thanks to this strategy France has recovered part of the market share lost to the Anglo-Saxon competition.We wanted to answer two fundamental questions: To what extent the Venezuelan elites, "influenced" by the French cultural model, managed to operate appropriations / assimilation / adaptation of this model in Venezuela? And, in return, to what extent the construction of a "cultural tool" Franco-Venezuelan has served the interests of the French foreign policy in Venezuela?

Full textThis research aims to show that in Brazil, there were several religious influences that generated from the mixture of peoples and their religions, a very people-oriented mystical supernatural. Thus, with the arrival of Pentecostal missionaries in 1910, Pentecostal theology found fertile ground, because its message had God intervening in a visible way in the life of the people, healing their diseases, saving their soul and generating hope of eternal salvation. Therefore, we investigate to what extent the religious culture of Brazil, the fruit of the various ethnicities that formed what we now call the Brazilian people, favors the Classical Pentecostal Theology and its development in the various strata of its society. For this, the text presents in an introductory way the religious history of the settlers, shows the religious expressions practiced in Brazil before the arrival of the settlers, as well as the religiosity that black Africans brought to Brazil, reports the arrival of the first Protestant missionaries, analyzes the Pentecostal missionaries arrived in Brazil with a Classical Pentecostal Theology, as well as the possible causes of its growth in Brazil. Turning, then, to contemporary issues related to the centennial of Brazil's largest Pentecostal denomination, the Assemblies of God. In this analysis it is assumed that the theory of Max Weber's "elective affinity" can be added to the proposal of Clifford Geertz, where it is assumed that the development of Classical Pentecostalism in Brazil was favored in the forming of its people by very particular social issues that, because of affinity, among all the possibilities of the already present evangelical theology, opted by cultural affinity for Pentecostalism.

Under this research, unlike cultural distance which is generally measured from the background difference of Hofstede’s six dimensions, cultural affinity/liking can be described as the feeling of bond and empathy between cultures at the socioeconomic level. Owing to the increasing globalization and the internationalization of firms, interactions between countries and regions have become much more intrigue, as such, interactions within different cultures is inevitable. Most past literature focus on cultural distance as a background measure of culture, however, our argument is conceptually different from existing approaches as we believe that cultural affinity/liking in terms of bond and empathy also plays a crucial role when considering the determinants that affect the degree of internationalization (DOI) of a firm. Therefore, this study examines the DOI of Taiwanese banks under panel data model over the period 2000-2015 and investigates the main determinants of internationalization while also considering the culture affinity/liking factor as an additional role in country-institution specific factors. The empirical results indicate that after considering the cultural affinity factor, estimated coefficient effects of firm age at home country, advertisement intensity, outward direct investment of Taiwanese manufacturing industry, relative interest rate, relative per capita GDP, lag of DOI and cultural affinity/liking have positive effects on the DOI of Taiwanese banks; while cultural distance and global financial crisis have negative effects on the DOI of Taiwanese banks. Overall, the effects of country-specific factors impacting the DOI for Taiwanese banks are higher than firm-specific factors. Hopefully, our empirical results may provide government and management decision makers with guidance when interacting or expanding into foreign markets.

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to understand the links that take form between the community based practices, in the context of the fight against HIV/aids, and the right to health as an economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR), pursuant to international law. More precisely, it proposes a new theoretical approach, complementary to the sociological theory of effectivity, according to which effectivity and normative pluralism combine to give way to the exploration of the internormative effectivity of the right to health in the social field of the fight against HIV/aids at the community level. Bearing this in mind, we suggest, as a research hypothesis, that exists, between the advocacy practices and services of community organisms and the right to health, an internormative effectivity phenomenon. To verify this hypothesis, an empirical study was conducted among community groups in Québec involved in the fight against HIV/aids. Analysis of the findings reveals a tree component answer. The first confirms the existence, between the fight against HIV/aids practices at the community level and the right to health, of a partial adequation area linking these practices to the substantive and procedural dimensions of the right to health, while not taking into account the formal and operational dimensions. Explaining this phenomenon, the second component of our analysis reveals the lack of relation (knowledge and use) to the right to health, as it is defined by international law, incidentally mitigated by a lay knowledge of the moral right to health. The latter intuitively influences the organisms, but the legal dimension of the right to health provokes confusion and is ignored by the actors involved. In this context, the third component highlights the existence of a specifically community norm, the field norm, which directs the practices in the adequation area and enables them to become, in a certain way, right to health actualization practices. This shows a genuine internormative effectivity phenomenon, according to which the social norm compensates, up to a certain point, the absence of law in the relevant legal order and in the normative universe in which the actors manoeuvre. To further explore this internormativity, we apply the elective affinities concept, which is ideal when it comes to identify the strong relationship between the two norms, and the mutual attraction that links them in a dynamic way. Analysis of the practices and of the actors’ representations enables us to confirm the presence of these elective affinities between the field norm and the spirit of the right to health, which explains the fact that the application of the norm field places de facto the organisms in the the right to health’s spectrum. Examining further the dynamics of these intimate relationships constitute a genuine understanding of the “chemical genealogy” behind the right to health actualization practices brought forward by the elective affinities. It consequently invites us to reintroduce in the analysis, the influence of the structures and systems on the realization of the effective internormativity.
