Pochon, Anaïs. "Contribution à l'étude des systèmes politico-religieux des cultures du Mississippi (XIème-XVIème siècle)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024SORUL113.
Full textThe Mississippian Cultures are agricultural societies established on the Mississippi Valley between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries. Practicing maize agriculture, they established ceremonial and urban centers composed of tumuli on which various structures were built. The arrangement within the burial mounds is part of the socio-political organization of a society based on a cosmovision that has been the subject of various archaeological and ethnohistorical studies since the twentieth century. A mythology based on the antagonism between the Thunderbird and the Serpent materialized on artifacts made of copper and shells in particular. Through the study of the four major Mississippian sites (Cahokia, Moundville, Etowah and Spiro), what are the elements that allow us to speak of "Mississippian cultures"? Moreover, what socio-political-religious organization was adopted by the Mississippians considering the results of the archaeological studies carried out? To what extent can a study of twentieth-century ethnographic texts (Omaha, Osage, Sauk, among others) help in the analysis of the religious field? What observations did European colonizers have of Native American groups formerly federated with the Mississippians (the most evocative example being the Natchez)? Through the spatial analysis of the arrangement of burial mounds, funerary spaces and the question of sacrifice, iconography and its correlation to myths and funerary rites, this study is a contribution to the archaeology of Mississippi cultures and a contribution to the discussion on the socio-political organization of Mississippians
Forget, Célia. "Le full-time RVing : une nouvelle approche de la culture de la mobilité en Amérique du Nord." Aix-Marseille 1, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006AIX10057.
Full textMy PhD research focuses on a lifestyle, full-time RVing, through which a new approach to the culture of mobility in North America is distinguished. This lifestyle, consisting of living full-time in a recreational vehicle and driving along North American roads, has attracted several million adherents in the USA and in Canada. Through an analysis of different kinds of mobility – geographical, territorial, cultural, conceptual –, this research aims to understand how full-time RVers adapt themselves to their mobile lifestyle. Full-time RVers' relations to (amongst other factors) territory, home, family, material culture have to be rethought in view of their mobility. By studying their daily life when moving as well as their daily life when parked, this research presents a population combining nomadic and sedentary elements, still unknown to scientific research, and reveals the attraction for the culture of mobility in contemporary societies

Full textAttrated by Far Eastern luxury reachable through the silk road open by the Mongols, Europeans wished to escape from greedy caravaneers. Vasco de Gama reached the Far East round the Cape of Good Hope, and Magellan reached it surrounding South America. The Dutch and The English sought the North-West road. The French thought about a transcontinental water way throught the "River of the West" and the "Western Sea", of which Verrazzano caught a glimpse, drawn by geographers among them Delisle. Cartier discovered the Saint-Lawrence River, Champlain extented the water way to the Great Lakes. Margry noticed Pierre de La Vérendrye (1685-1749) at the request of Lewis Cass. Margry was astonished by this bold man who dragged his family toward the "Western Sea", under informations picked of from Indians and from the map of Auchagah redrawn by Chaussegros ; building posts from Lake Superior to Lake Superior to Lake Manitoba, and on the Saskatchewan River, putting obstacles upon the Hudson Bay Indian's trade ; discovering the hydrographical net work of Lake Winnipeg and adjacent lakes, with rivers : Winnipic, Saskatchewan, Red from the North and its Assiniboin tributary swelled by the Qu'Appel and The Souris, which led to the Missouri River and the Mandans, and even to the Bighorn. He saw him suffer the worst hardships : defamation, little regards from his Minister, death of his nephew, and his first son and Father Aulneau slaughtered by the Sioux. After he was discharged, his appointement as captain and chevalier of the Saint-Louis Cross, and his restoration has commander to the "Western Sea" post, show recognition for his outstandingly gifted qualities. Historians consider him equal to : Champlain, Lewis and Clark. . .

Full textHistoriography often neglects the part of Francophone migrants in the young American republic, merely following the route of the most famous political exiles banished by the French Revolution and the Restoration, or the Utopians dreaming to establish a new society in the New World. In the Early Republic faced with the thorny problem of slavery, the agony of colonial empires and the birth of entrepreneurship and capitalism, many migrants tried fortune beyond the Atlantic Ocean, between 1783 and 1815, establishing in the “Creole corridor” powerful commercial, cultural and religious ties between east coast, New Orleans, West Indies and Atlantic space. This is the purpose of this discussion that borrows the path opened by the Atlantic history, and proposes, through the study of correspondence and archival resources, an innovative history of francophone business migrations from Pittsburgh to Louisville in the age of the Atlantic Revolutions

Full textThe objectives of this thesis are to study the sedimentary features of some basins of the Gulf of Mexico (Pigmy and La Salle basins) in order to reconstitute the variability of the detrital input via the Mississippi River during the last climatic cycle. An integrated approach coupling mineralogy, granulometry, and geochemistry (inorganic and organic), within a precise chronostratigraphic framework, allows to progress in the understanding of the relations between the mid- and high-latitude climatic mechanisms and the subtropical hydrology, as well as to propose synoptic models of the ocean-atmosphere coupling. The contrasting mineralogy of the zones drained by the catchment system of the Mississippi River watershed allows constraining the continental zones which will successively feed the sedimentation of the Gulf of Mexico. The modifications of the detrital sources revealed for the last climatic cycle enabled (1) to track down the localization of the zones of destabilization of the southern margin of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and the sequence of sedimentary processes during the freshwater discharges, which characterized the last deglaciation, (2) to highlight modifications of the precipitation front which were associated with episodes of large Mississippi River floods during interglacial times, and therefore, to deduce information on the hydrological regime, and (3) to suggest schematic models of meridian transfer of moisture contrasted during interglacial stages 1 and 5e, suggesting an appreciable difference in the atmospheric configurations. The confrontation of these results with other paleoclimatic records allowed to propose simple models of the atmosphere-ocean-continent interactions recorded in the Gulf of Mexico, which are based on the modifications of both the atmospheric configurations (Jet Stream and ITCZ) and oceanic (extension of Atlantic Warm Pool). These models confirm the major role of the atmosphere as a vector of rapid climatic variability

Full textThe trend toward globalization seems to be stronger than event for the business community nowadays. Businesses set up new activities in foreign countries in order to gain access to new markets and to increase their sales. Although globalization is gaining in importance, many factors must be taken into account if one aspires to succeed abroad. One of those factors is national culture. National culture is the topic of this dissertation. The goal is to investigate how national culture can impact the relationship between human resources practices and organizational performances of banks in twenty-two countries of North-America, Europe and Asia. Our study looks more closely at the influence of eight dimensions linked to human resources (HR) practices (incentive income, training, recruiting, selection, employee’s performance appraisal, work organization, communication, and job security) on organizational performances (social performances, economic performances, financial performances). We were able to establish that HR practices lead to different outcomes in different countries. For instance, some HR practices can have a positive influence in France but a negative influence in Japan because of the existence of a distinct culture. In order to measure national culture, we have used Geert Hofstede (1991) framework, which identifies national culture with four dimensions, power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance, and masculinity, in each country

Full textThe Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a key area for the global thermohaline circulation (THC) and for the global-climatic system, since its hydrological characteristics (hlgh salinity and temperature) partly control Gulf Stream physical properties. Dunng the last climatic cycle, GOM hydrology was impacted by episodic freshwater inputs via the Mississippi River resulting from intermittent meltmg of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS). The resulting salinity changes affected the THiC. global heat exchange and worldwide climatie conditions. Direct effeets of these freshwater supplies on the GOM paleoceanography have been documented studying the planktonic foraminifera [delta]18O evolution By contras!. terrigenous inputs associated with these meltwater pulses are poorly understood. These detrital fractions are. however. IIkeiv to provide information on the link between continental and marine records during the last climatic cycle. An overview of the main continental detrtital source areas, of the dominant factors controlling clav minerai transport patterns (by drawing clay minerai distribution maps in the US and northem GOM) and of thin terrigenous particle sedimentation in the GOM (by analogical modeIing), lays the groundwork for the use of clay-minerai assembiages for understanding the connection between North America and the GOM. The downcore investigations of sedimentary (clay mineralogy, grain-slze . .) and isotopic ([delta]18O) records ln two minibasins of the GOM (Orca Basin and Basin 4) allow us to explain the fluvial inputs variations, during the last climatic cycle, by paleoenvironmental (ice meltback) and paleocllmatic (atmospheric circulation) fluctuations that affected North America

Full textThe European Union bases its security system on genuine and specific approach which would allow the face the forthcoming challenges. Meanwhile it has attempted to untangle from the unique model of collective security in the Euroatlantic area, that is to say NATO. This study aims to defend the relevancy of the EU as a major international actor in a large scale of security missions. Moreover it highlights the main differences between the EU vis-à-vis the Alliance’s activities. It is based on a theoretical and conceptual analysis which uses both an eclectic and pluralist approach in order to provide answers on how States’ behavior in defense and collective security matters influences the setting up of relations between several international security institutions. This analysis derives from the political and technical developments that influenced the security landscape the last twenty-five years. These facts help to explain and to evaluate the process by which such institutions arise and develop. They finally contribute to highlight the tight and original interdependency of the between the Atlantic Alliance and the European Security and Defense Policy of the European Union. This interdependency is real from political, military (strategic, operational and tactical) and technical-industrial perspectives ; it directly originates from the historical dual belonging to the multinational security frameworks, from major political events on the European continent, as much as a joint effort to focus on common interests and the shaping of a strategic culture
Grenon, Carole. "L'économie du principe féminin dans l'oeuvre d'Ernest J. Gaines." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030009.
Full textThis thesis studies the principles of the feminine in Ernest J. Gaines’ six novels: Catherine Carmier, Of Love and Dust, A Gathering of Old Men, In My Father’s House, A Lesson Before Dying and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. It defines the feminine subject and identifies its moral principles. There is a gradual evolution of the feminine in the works of Ernest J. Gaines. From Catherine Carmier to The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, the feminine strengthens itself. In the first novels, the feminine acts out of duty, advocates wisdom, which prevents it from creating things. The feminine gradually reaffirms itself through language and faces the masculine. This work explores the violence of the abnormal construction of the Black self and the strategies of deconstruction of the myth of white supremacy. The analysis of the reconstruction of the self shows a redefinition of genres. The feminine is virilized and feminizes the masculine. Finally, in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, the feminine becomes militant and activist. The mother of the black community, identifying herself with the female Divine Law of the family, embodies female agency; she raises her sons and teaches them moral principles. The feminine and the masculine function as mirror images of each other; they work to get the recognition of the White man, and they seek to improve themselves. This study highlights the idea of dignity in death, of freedom which asserts itself in negativity
