Abstract:
Cette thèse se construit à partir d'une pratique artistique que je mène depuis 2003. Chaque projet se développe en collaboration grâce à des rencontres que je suscite en engageant une activité dans un territoire spécifique : pratique du tricot au sein d'une association des femmes maliennes, déplacement à pied entre Saint-Denis et Paris ou travail documentaire sur une pratique rituelle en Inde. Cette recherche privilégie donc une poétique de la Relation et une esthétique du Divers. La prise en compte des phénomènes de mondialisation et de globalisation s'impose car une partie des oeuvres étudiées ont été réalisées en Inde, au Vietnam et au Cambodge, ou bien encore avec des personnes appartenant à d'autres cultures. De plus, ceci m'amène à considérer la perméabilité actuelle des frontières entre l'art et l'ethnographie. Concrètement, photographies, sculptures, performances et films prennent forme selon des modalités diverses allant de la restitution d'expérience à des actions collectives.

Abstract:
My stoneware sculptures in my MFA final project were named Earth Divers because clay as a material is earth and clay is also symbolic of the Earth. The way that I physically dive into clay up to my elbows is a poetic performance. The sculptures were built in sections horizontally and then stacked vertically. I began the process by first making life size plaster molds of the human figure taken from live people. Earth Divers take their architectural structure specifically from the organic curves of the negative voids that are characteristic of the plaster figure molds. I built into these plaster molds a block or brick like section. I then removed the large block sections from the molds and stacked the sections one on top of the other combining the figurative and architectural structures with gothic influence. The sculptor, Stephen De Staebler, who works in a similar fashion, describes his work as, "... first laying the figure down and later standing it in a vertical position." The way of life that was lost with the manufacturing past of my family at Castone Brick is found in the use of industrial nostalgia by modeling I-beam shapes as part of the structure of the stacked sections. I also fired nuts, bolts, and washers of various sizes in the clay that build the surface of the human forms. The square nut seen in my work is no longer being manufactured and is symbolic of the passing of the industrial age in America. Finally, to build the surfaces of my sculptures I used slips, glazes, and a variety of clays on top of clay, and laid glass fragments on the horizontal surfaces to create a look of pooled water when my work was fired similar to what I have seen in the Lehman Caves in Baker, Nevada. "I believe there is a force in this world that lives beneath the surface, something primitive and wild that awakens when you need an extra push just to survive, like wild flowers that bloom after a fire turns the forest black. Most people are afraid of it and keep it buried deep inside themselves. But, there will always be a few people who have the courage to love what is untamed inside us." (Tim McGraw)

Abstract:
À partir d’un corpus de 492 faits divers criminels relevés dans les quotidiens parisiens entre 1836 et 1881, ce travail s’efforce de montrer comment ce genre de discours journalistique est un lieu de citation d’autres discours, en particulier professionnels. La démarche stylistique adoptée, qui s’appuie sur les outils de l’analyse du discours, souligne la façon dont ces technolectes circulent dans la rubrique des faits divers, et sont souvent moins des citations explicites que des emprunts à des interdiscours volontiers constitués de clichés et de formules toutes prêtes et toutes faites. C’est ainsi le figement du fait divers qu’on met en avant, figement narratif, syntaxique et lexical ; ce figement lui vient parfois directement des discours auxquels il emprunte, et qui comme lui n’hésitent pas à fictionnaliser voire à inventer un événement. La démonstration s’attache à étudier la citation à l’intérieur de l’espace journalistique, afin de mettre en lumière la façon dont les faits-divers s’approprient l’article d’un autre, et à étudier leur position de sur- ou de sous-énonciateur par rapport au texte originel. C’est cette même position du fait-diversi qui est interrogée dans son rapport aux interdiscours médicaux et policiers ; ces derniers sont en effet des sources privilégiées de l’information fait-divers. L’analyse se reporte dans le même temps aux romans du siècle,feuilletons comme œuvres réalistes et naturalistes, avant de se pencher, à la fin de l’étude, sur les rapports du fait divers et de ces ouvrages. Il s’agit alors de montrer comment le fait divers,traversé de diverses voix, est un discours qui circule également dans la littérature de l’époque
This work focuses on a corpus of 492 crime news items released in Parisian dailies between 1836 and 1881 and aims at showing how this specific journalistic discourse quotesother forms of discourse (particularly professional ones). The stylistic approach chosen, using discourse analysis tools, underlines the way those technolects circulate in crime news items and shows they are not so much explicit quotes as borrowings from interdiscourses often made up of clichés and ready-made, set phrases. This freezing of the crime news item is what stands out here: a narrative, syntactic and lexical freezing, stemming sometimes straight from the discourses from which it borrows. Both the crime news items and the discourses borrowedtend to fictionalize or even invent a drama.The work focuses on the quote within the journalistic space, so as to highlight how the crime news item writers make someone else’s article their own and studies the writers’ posture (as an over or an under-enunciator) regarding the original text. This same posture is also questioned in relation to both medical and police interdiscourses, which are the two privileged sources of information for crime news items. In the same time, the analysis refers to contemporary novels, whether serials or realist and naturalist works, before focusing on their relationships to crime news items. The aim is thus to show how the crime news item is a multiple-voice discourse which also circulates in the literature of that time

Full text
Abstract:
Fondée sur un travail de terrain réalisé en France en 2011 et en 2012 autour de trois procès d'assises, concernant des faits criminels survenus entre 1998 et 2008 à Ajaccio, Béziers et Castelnau-Le-Lez, la thèse analyse la reconstitution des faits dans le procès sous l'angle d'une performance. La notion de performance est explorée dans un sens double : dans le sens d'un exploit - une manière particulière d'exploiter les faits - autant que dans le sens d'un spectacle au cours imprévisible. Les éléments exploités par le procès sont envisagés comme les restes d'un éclatement dont une part plus ou moins importante a été perdue, égarée davantage par la mise en mouvement de l'action judiciaire La thèse tente de comprendre au prix de quels écarts et de quelles absences ces restes sont montés et montrés. D'abord spectateur et témoin de l'audience, l'anthropologue remonte le cours du procès et devient, à son tour, metteur en scène après-coup et à contre courant de situations observées et de situations rapportées. Les faits sont considérés successivement sous l'angle des récits et des images auxquels ils donnent lieu après leur découverte, sous l'angle des discours par lesquels ils tentent d'être élucidés, sous l'angle du spectacle de mots, de corps et d'objets auxquels ils aboutissent. Les coups de force visuels, discursifs, scénographiques par lesuqels la reconstitution judiciaire assure sa cohérence tout au long de la procédure sont décrits en rapport à l'omniprésence de parts manquantes, sources d'autres dangers
Based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out in France in 2011 and 2012 in the setting of three criminal trials related to criminal facts which occured between 1998 and 2008 in Ajaccio, Béziers and Castelnau-Le-Lez, the thesis analyses the crime scene reconstruction in these cases from the perspective of a performance. The notion of performance is explored in a double meaning: in the sense of an exploit - a successful exploitation of the data - as well as in the sense of an unpredictable show. The information used by the judicial reconstruction is considered as the scattered remains after an explosion, of which a more or less significant part has been lost, and further misplaced by the judicial proceeding. The thesis attempts to resolve the following interrogation: at the cost of what sort of discrepancies and absences are these remains set up together and put on display? At first a spectator and a witness to the hearing, the anthropologist goes back in time through the trial, and becomes a stage director with hindsight, running against the flow of the situations observed and the situations reported. The facts are considered successively from the perspective of the narratives and images they entail just after being discovered; from the perspective of the speeches by which they attempt to be elucidated; from the the perspective of the spectacle of words, bodies and objects in which they result. The visual, discursive and scenographic acts of force all along the proceedings are described in relation to an omnipresnet missing part - the source of other dangers

Abstract:
Art education scholars have redefined multicultural teaching practices to include a need for addressing social inequities. To understand art educators’ multicultural teaching practices, it is important to measure the extent to which they present cultural diversity in the classroom and present a racially diverse pool of artists. The purpose of this this quantitative, nonexperimental study was to measure the extent to which practicing K–12 art educators who are members of the National Art Education Association (NAEA) engage students with racially diverse artists and cultures within their curricula. The study aimed to measure the extent that educators address racial and cultural diversity in their classrooms. The study also gathered data on which resources participants indicated would help create and implement curricula that addresses racially diverse artists and cultures. Finally, the study explored the relationships between seven different teachers’ self-reported attributes and the extent that they taught about and valued racial/cultural diversity. The findings show that educators taught about racial and cultural diversity to regularly in their classroom practices and they also voiced a need for more resources to teach more about racially diverse artists and cultures, specifically visual resources and education/training regarding racially/culturally diverse content. Findings also indicated that educators who taught 21+ years, taught predominantly students of color, and those who were more comfortable with conversations pertaining to racial/cultural diversity were more likely to value the importance of racial/cultural diversity in their curricula. The results suggest that resources, such as education, training, or professional development, should be offered to educators in the field so that they may continue learning new language concerning diversity as perceptions and understandings continue to shift.

Abstract:
Il 14 marzo 1999 inaugura al Museum of Modern Art di New York la mostra Museum as Muse: Artists recflect curata da Kynaston McShine; in questa occasione il museo, le sue regole, i suoi principi e le basi che sottostanno alla creazione di questa istituzione, vengono messi in discussione, tutto ciò diventa oggetto e soggetto delle opere degli artisti che esprimono così il loro dissenso, il loro apprezzamento o semplicemente la loro posizione. Alcuni degli artisti che espongono in questa occasione sono quelli che, negli anni Sessanta-Settanta, erano stati “etichettati” come appartenenti a quel movimento, corrente, linea di pensiero, definita critica istituzionale. Il progetto di tesi trae spunto proprio da questa mostra. Cerca di definire e capire cosa gli artisti pensino non soltanto dell'istituzione museale, ma del sistema dell'arte in generale, quel sistema composto da tanti attori che, ognuno in un modo diverso, condizionano la vita e la storia degli artisti e delle loro opere; la mostra del 1999 al MoMA ha analizzato un aspetto di questa ricerca, quello che si vuole affrontare in questa occasione ha invece un respiro più ampio in uno spazio temporale dilatato: la domanda alla base è che fine abbia fatto e dove vada individuata ai giorni nostri quella che è stata definita la critica istituzionale, se è ancora attuale oggi parlare di critica, chi sono gli artisti coinvolti e attraverso cosa e come si esprimono, in un contesto completamento diverso da quello di cinquant'anni fa. I cambiamenti economici, culturali e sociali degli ultimi anni sono frutto di ciò che è accaduto negli anni ottanta e novanta e il sistema dell'arte, così come coloro che ne fanno parte, non è potuto rimanere indenne da tali influenze, portando ad una situazione attuale quasi esasperata se pensiamo al mercato dell'arte, allo sviluppo incondizionato di manifestazioni internazionali in tutto il mondo, all'organizzazione di mostre blockbuster e “all'invenzione dell'artista come star” come ricorda Luca Beatrice in una delle sue ultime pubblicazioni. Nella prima parte della tesi si cercherà di definire e analizzare i due concetti che sono alla base di questa ricerca: il sistema dell'arte e la critica istituzionale; per ciò che riguarda il primo termine si rifletterà sui personaggi e le istituzioni che lo compongono, sui rapporti di forze su cui si basa e si tenterà di spiegarne i meccanismi e le sue deformazioni; per quanto riguarda invece la critica istituzionale indagheremo la sua storia e i suoi sviluppo attuali, quali differenze ci siano tra ieri e oggi e perché, le modalità e gli artisti che oggi ne fanno parte; Nella seconda parte entreranno invece in campo gli artisti e le loro opere; identificati infatti i soggetti che fanno parte del sistema dell'arte si approfondiranno le loro caratteristiche e le loro problematiche, non solo ad un livello teorico e oggettivo, ma anche attraverso lo sguardo soggettivo, poetico e intimo degli artisti: ci avvaleremo quindi di una prospettiva interna che ci aiuterà a capire e comprendere meglio cosa sta accadendo nel mondo dell'arte, si scoprirà che ogni peculiarità o stranezza che caratterizza tale mondo è stata spesso oggetto di opere artistiche che hanno messo in luce, meglio di tante altre parole, i vizi, i pregi e le imperfezioni di questo sistema. L'obiettivo è quello di raccontare e guardare il mondo dell'arte, di cui tanto oggi si parla, da una prospettiva diversa, non con la presunzione di risolverne le problematiche, ma con la volontà di comprenderle per poter così meglio affrontarle, sia come spettatori che come “addetti ai lavori”.

Hirst, Manton Myatt. "The healer's art : Cape Nguni diviners in the townships of Grahamstown." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1991. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1001601.

Full text
Abstract:
This is a study of Cape Nguni diviners practising in the townships of Grahamstown where, during the 1970s, there was a large and active concentration of diviners treating clients from the locality, the rural areas and even the large urban centres further afield. The study situates local diviners in the socio-economic, cultural and religious context of contemporary township Iife during the 1970s (see chapter 1 and section 2.1). The personalities and socio-economic circumstances of diviners (and herbalists) are described as well as their case-loads, the various problems they treat, the relations between them and their clients, the economics of healing and the ethics pertaining to the profession (see chapter 2) . Chapter three focuses on the various problems and afflictions - which are largely of an interpersonal nature - suffered by those who are eventually inducted as diviners and the ritual therapy this necessarily entails. Here we see how the diviner, what Lewis (1971) terms a 'wounded healer', becomes an expert in interpersonal and social relations as a result of suffering problems - largely connected to the family but not necessarily limited to it - in interpersonal relations and that require a ritual, and thus social, prophylaxis. The main theoretical argument is that the diviner, qua healer, functions as a hybrid of Levi-Strauss' s bricoleur and Castaneda's 'man of knowledge' artfully combining the ability of the former to invert, mirror or utilise analogies from linguistics to make everything meaningful and the ability of the latter to creatively bend reality . The diviner's cosmology is described in terms of a 'handy', limited but extensive cultural code/repertoire of signs, symbols and metaphors that is utilised in getting the message across to others and in which animals bear the main symbolic load (see chapter 4). This leads logically to a reappraisal of Hammond-Tooke's (1975b) well-known model of Cape Nguni symbolic structure particularly in so far as it pertains to the way in which diviners classify animals, both wild and domestic (see section 4.6). A striking evocation and confirmation of the view argued here, namely of the diviner as bricoleur/'man of knowledge', is contained in chapter five dealing with an analysis of the diviner's 'river' myth and the context, form and content of the divinatory consultation itself. Finally, the conclusions, arising out of this study of contemporary Cape Nguni diviners in town, are evaluated in the ligrht of Lewis's (1966, 1971, 1986) deprivation hypothesis of spirit possession (see chapter 6)

Abstract:
This is a qualitative, mixed-methods study that focuses on the dispositions that preservice teachers bring into teacher education programs in regard to homelessness. Teacher education programs play an important role in providing preservice teachers experiences teaching that prepare them for working with diverse populations of students. Students enrolled in an elementary art methods course and participated in a civic engagement experience, teaching children after school who were living in a transitional housing program. The results of this study showed evidence that working in community settings with diverse students can alter preservice teachers' notions and awareness of impoverished and homeless children. As a researcher, it is my hope that this alteration will significantly impact the way that pre-service teachers interact with all of their future students.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose with this research is to explore what management is doing in order to successfully manage the diversity needs in their workplace and to put up a conceptual model of the initiatives needed in order to reach a successful diversity strategy implementation. The questions are aimed at finding the barriers for managers to implement a successful diversity strategy. Our goal is to understand where the real practitioners of workplace diversity stand in the subject and which areas they wish could be taken a closer look by the researchers. We would also like to explore how mature the companies really are regarding the subject of diversity. Method The method for our thesis was to begin with an exploratory approach in order to gain a better knowledge of the subject and to learn where the literature stands today. To this we have added the collection of qualitative data through interviews made in eight different companies with a total of eleven managers in different levels of the organizations. Once all the data was collected and reviewed we ranked each manager and the company they work for to produce a picture of the diversity maturity present in these companies. Conclusions We have come to the following conclusions - Diversity is a strength and value for companies acting on a global market. - Diversity within a team make the team more productive, solutions are better since the input are from various angles. - To successfully maintain a diverse team puts more demands on the manager to realize that everyone is different and not to handle everyone the same. - There is a high level of maturity found in Swedish managers when it comes to diversity, but areas like training and recruitment policies need to be improved. - Swedish managers have a vast knowledge of what diversity means to their organizational process.

Full text
Abstract:
This research examined the emergence of transference and countertransference within an interracial client-therapist relationship. The literature reviewed in this paper encompasses the different manifestations of transference and countertransference within the therapeutic space, cultural transference and countertransference, the way in which culture presents itself within the therapeutic environment, and the emergence of culture within the art psychotherapy relationship (in the case of this research, the focus was on areas of race and ethnicity as it pertains to culture). A case study approach was utilized with an 8-year-old Hispanic female and her family who received services from an African American art therapist. The findings indicate that [cultural] transference and countertransference are inevitable and should be closely monitored. The findings also suggest that art can serve as an effective tool for highlighting cultural factors. The research reinforced that cultural themes will naturally manifest as treatment progresses, and the dismissal of these cultural matters can result in negative consequences for the client, therapist, and the therapeutic relationship. This research also highlights the lack of attention given to culture within therapy, the need for more therapists to become trained in areas of culture to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse clientele, and for a greater sensitivity and attunement to cultural issues.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper examines the painter Peh Hilleström (1732–1816) as a participant in the eighteenth century, Stockholm art market, according to the model used by Michael Baxandall in his study of Italian Renaissance art. The art market of the eighteenth century was expanding and included new groups of buyers, outside traditional patrons of art as court and aristocracy. The main purpose of the paper is to find these new art consumers. I use probate inventories from Stockholm, from the years 1735, 1775, 1795, and 1815, in which I search for annotations of paintings. The results are examined from an economic perspective, based on wealth, and a social, based on occupation and titles. Examining these four years I find a rather extensive, bourgeois, market for art, including the less well of households, and fairly independent of social status. The sources give few if any, details of the paintings listed. Hence it is not possible to connect any of the annotations in the probate inventories to Hilleström, since artists’ names are never mentioned. From some of the clues given, there is nevertheless, possible to reconstruct the outlines of what an art collection might have looked like. The wide scope of Hillestöm’s production, illustrated by the artist’s own list of his paintings, might be interpreted as a way to cater for this new market, illustrated by e.g. the frequent repetition of motives. Finally, I examine a few of Hilleström’s own paintings in the light of the previous investigation. Together the sources give a picture of a – fairly widespread – ideal of interior decoration, in which paintings are an important part.

Full text
Abstract:
Instances of fault-controlled monogenetic volcanism across the subduction arc of the Central Andes at ~ 23°S illuminate the nature of different parental melts being delivered to the crust. Evidence of magmatic history is preserved in bulk rock geochemistry, the content of melt inclusions, and mineral compositions. Volcanism in this region is dominated by felsic and intermediates lavas as the thickened crust (55 – 65 km) and vast volumes (> 500,000 km3) of mid-crustal magma beneath the Altiplano-Puna high plateau region prevent mafic magmas from reaching the surface (Davidson & De Silva, 1991; Beck et al., 1996; Perkins et al., 2016). However, small volumes of relatively undifferentiated lava have been delivered from the lower crust to the surface along zones of crustal weakness without extensive processing by crustal assimilation and/or extended storage in sub-volcanic magma chambers. Monogenetic eruptions of less-differentiated lava provide important constraints on compositions normally obscured by crustal processing in the Central Andes. Basaltic andesite sampled within the frontal arc (Cerro Overo maar) is a regional mafic end-member and approximates the composition of parental arc magmas derived from partially-molten lower crustal regions where mantle-derived magmas interact with the surrounding lithosphere and undergo density differentiation (MASH zones). Basaltic olivine-hosted melt inclusions from Cerro Overo provide a glimpse of less-evolved melt composition from this region and suggest mobilization of MASH magma by injection of basaltic melt. Basaltic andesite sampled from the eastern (back) margin of the frontal arc (Puntas Negras – El Laco) is another regional mafic endmember, representing a mantle-derived magma composition that is transitional between subduction arc magmatism and intraplate magmatism of the back-arc. The internal crystal architecture revealed by major and trace element zoning of olivine phenocrysts indicates Cerro Overo magma experienced continuous ascent, while Puntas Negras magma experienced a brief period of stalling or storage near the brittle-ductile transition zone (~ 25 km). Aphyric intermediate monogenetic lavas sampled west of (before) the frontal arc display Adakite-like signatures (e.g. high Sr/Y and Sm/Yb) represent small amounts of melt generated with a significant contribution from direct melting of the metabasaltic slab or delaminated lithospheric root at high pressure. These three magmatic regimes sampled at monogenetic centers approximate different end-member compositions being delivered to the lower crust of the Central Andes from which the range of intermediate main arc volcanism in the Altiplano-Puna region is ultimately derived.

Full text
Abstract:
In rural, low socioeconomic public schools, the diversity of the student population challenges teachers beyond their means to meet the wide-ranging needs of students, and therefore creating opportunity gaps. The purpose of this study was to explore one district's leadership support of teachers to create an equitable learning environment for all students. The present study built on existing literature by discovering leadership practices and perceived necessary supports for closing achievement gaps in K-12 classrooms. Through interviews with district and school administrators, classroom teachers, and observations of leadership meetings, the research for this case study included data collection and analysis. From the interview questions and observations, six themes emerged. The themes revealed from the data collected and analysis for this qualitative study aligned with the components of the conceptual framework, a sequence of initiative requirements for equitable learning environments. Developing a sequence of initiatives among all levels of educators could benefit sustainment of an equitable learning environment in Rural ISD. Recommended for further research is professional development to both leadership and teachers about professional learning communities (PLCs). In addition, study of parent education programs and how relationships achieve more parental involvement requires further research. A final recommendation for collegiate education preparation programs should include parental involvement, differentiation, and small group instruction as a requirement for teacher development when planning instruction for equitable lessons resulting in student achievement.

Full text
Abstract:
With three homogenous caregiver groups (i.e., Alzheimer's caregivers, grandparents raising grandchildren, parents), caregiving styles were explored to determine their reliability and validity, their unique role in predicting caregiver outcomes, and their differences between groups of caregivers. A conceptual framework was adapted to determine the impact of contextual variables, caregiving styles, caregiver appraisal, and mediating variables on caregiving outcomes. A more concise version of the Caregiving Style Scale (CSS) was developed with 49 items yielding an internal consistency coefficient of .74. As expected, three caregiving styles emerged and were positively related to the parallel parenting styles. Across the caregiver samples, there were positive relationships among caregiving style dimensions within the same caregiving style, while those from opposing caregiving styles tended to have negative relationships indicating good convergent and discriminant validity. Authoritative caregiving style dimensions were generally associated with healthier functioning, while authoritarian and permissive caregiving style dimensions were correlated with less healthy functioning. Caregiving style dimensions were among the predictors of several outcome measures, highlighting the importance of their placement in the conceptual framework for caregiver stress and coping. Generally, an unexpected finding was that authoritative caregiving style dimensions tended to predict less adaptive caregiving outcomes, particularly for parents and grandparents, while the impact upon caregiver well-being by authoritarian caregiving style dimensions varied throughout the caregiver groups. Results further indicated that different groups of caregivers tend to take on different caregiving styles, with grandparents and parents tending to differ significantly from Alzheimer's caregivers in their approaches to caregiving.

Abstract:
Every city/place has unique, distinctive qualities. Individuals acquire a sense of place in accordance with their own experiences and perspectives, which may not be the same as the experiences and viewpoints of another person. In this project, I explore, analyze, and re-interpret three places that have creatively and emotionally influenced me and remained in my memory: Times Square, New York City; Insadong, Seoul, South Korea; and Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia. To comprehend and draw a sense of place, I observe, feel, and document the characteristics of each place through different methods and processes, based on my own experiences. In addition, I integrate, apply, and transform my experiences and emotional reaction to the objects, obtained from each place, into new visual form to grasp how the built environment can be used as inspiration and stimulus in developing creative methods and processes in graphic design.

Il focus dell’analisi riguarda il Teatro Comunale Mario del Monaco di Treviso e il Teatro Sociale di Rovigo, ovvero i due teatri di tradizione presenti nella Regione Veneto. Il lavoro svolto intende mettere a confronto le due diverse forme gestionali dei suddetti teatri; forme le quali si collocano in due sfere contigue della giurisprudenza: la forma giuridica privata del primo, condotto da una società per azioni, la Teatri e Umanesimo Latino, e la forma pubblica del secondo gestito direttamente dall’amministrazione comunale rodigina. L’analisi è stata svolta con riferimento alla programmazione nel biennio 2008–2009 assumendo dei punti fermi che contraddistinguono le due strutture, come la storia dei due teatri, i finanziamenti pubblici e privati attivati e le possibilità normative offerte dalla giurisprudenza. Su questa base, il lavoro mira ad evidenziare le criticità e le opportunità offerte dai due modelli gestionali.

The target of this research is to help the thinking about contemporary art through a new approach from the Idea of play to gaming. We try to comprehend the overthrow and entertainment concepts in the games developed and in the art and gaming field. This observation doesn‟t lay down just on the games created in this research, but also include a few aspects of art and technology in contemporary art. Between practice and theory the methodology was built, and together they tangled the proposed thought. To elucidade the thought tha we came with in this study we start with the approach of the play concept, that raises on philosophy and is adopted by the visual arts. From philosophycal play to eletronic game, and when it is found on a artistic context, it can be called as art and gamimg. In trying to understand and define what exactly art and gaming are about I show my own artistic games. This master thesis ends with a view of the contemporary art scenery and how the overthrow and entertainment concepts can integrate the contemporary art today.
O objetivo desta pesquisa, em poéticas visuais, é de contribuir para pensar a arte contemporânea atual através de uma nova abordagem que parte da ideia de jogo na arte para chegar ao game. Verificam-se os conceitos de subversão e diversão na minha produção pessoal na área da gamearte. Esta reflexão não se restringe somente sobre minha produção, mas também abrange alguns aspectos da arte e tecnologia na arte contemporânea. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa desenvolve-se no ir e vir entre a prática artística e a teoria que, unidas, tecem o pensamento proposto. Para elucidar a proposição apresentada neste estudo, inicia-se com a abordagem do conceito de jogo, que se origina na filosofia e é adotado pela arte. Do jogo filosófico segue-se para o jogo eletrônico, chamado de game, e quando inserido em um contexto artístico assume-se como gamearte. Ao tentar compreender e delimitar, quando possível, o que seria esta produção em gamearte, exponho a minha experiência pessoal na produção de jogos artísticos. Para fechar esta dissertação apresentam-se outras produções contemporâneas em gamearte, a fim de evidenciar como a diversão e o entretenimento podem integrar a arte contemporânea recente.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis contributes to the established literature on farm women within the context of family farming. It recognises that not enough is yet known about the discourses and agency which influence their lives. Consequently, this study has sought to establish what dominant discourses shape the lives of farm women, their responses to these discourses and how their discursive positioning influences their agency. This study employed a qualitative case study approach involving interviews with a diverse mixture of independent farm women, along with women farming in marital relationships. This thesis engages these narratives to showcase the colourful, complex life-experiences of farm women. In addition, and where present, women�s partners were interviewed to provide male farmers� perspectives about women in family farming. This research has found that women�s lives are shaped by positioning and contextualising discourses, with which they comply to ensure that the family farm survives. Their subservient discursive positioning limits the agency they can express, although they are able to mobilise indirect agency through supporting their partner; an implicit form of agency which has previously been unrecognised or understated. Cumulatively, this thesis highlights the need to recognise the diversity of farm women, and how they are able to exercise agency from their constrained subject positions within the family farming context. Furthermore it emphasises that agency is a dynamic, and far more varied concept than previously understood.

Full text
Abstract:

Recent trends toward on-line learning and open education suggest that the role of technology will only become more prominent in higher education. As a result, faculty members will increasingly be expected to infuse more technology in face-to-face courses, while teaching in multiple course delivery modalities. Senior administrators and technology leaders are faced with the dilemma of advancing technology enhanced teaching and learning practices for a faculty that isn't necessarily convinced change is necessary. The resulting tension between the administration and faculty will either limit actual change or prevent it completely. The following research examines those factors influencing the growth in technology-based teaching and learning at three very different institutions that have a focus on research and teaching. The study also examines those strategies or actions shown to be helpful in advancing new and innovative teaching practices. The research sites include Duke University, the University of Central Florida and the University of California, Berkeley. The findings suggest that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to advancing technology enhanced teaching and learning, and an institution's ability to successfully lead change requires a shared understanding of why change is necessary. Change efforts require more than just a few faculty members that are willing to explore new teaching practices, as well as sufficient resources to advance experimental teaching initiatives. Incentives aimed at advancing the innovative use of technology to support teaching and learning goals also play an important role in leading change. The research suggests that the factors influencing technology enhanced teaching and learning differ among institutions and are unique to the institution's mission, history, culture, and student population. Senior leaders all too often come into an institution and attempt to lead change based on their experience at a former place of employment. The findings suggest that leaders need to become familiar with the unique characteristics of an institution before making decisions about how best to advance technology enhanced teaching and learning, while partnering with the faculty in leading change.

Abstract:
La tesi consiste in uno studio approfondito delle fonti antiche riguardanti Clistene e la sua azione riformatrice ad Atene sul finir del VI secolo a.C., prestando particolare attenzione a quelle meno note e più trascurate dagli studiosi moderni. Lo scopo dell’indagine non si esaurisce infatti nel tentativo di riproporre le considerazioni formulate da altri studiosi in precedenza, ma è piuttosto quello di mostrare che l’analisi della tradizione scritta restituisce un’immagine di Clistene e delle sue riforme che non risulta affatto scontato, anzi al quanto ambiguo. Il doppio ritratto dello statista trova ragion d’essere nel fatto che accanto alle fonti più note come Erodoto (V, 66-73) e Aristotele (AP 20-22), la tradizione ha anche conservato un considerevole numero di citazioni e riferimenti che dimostrano quanto le riforme clisteniche siano state sin dall’antichità oggetto di palesi contraddizioni, derivate dalla volontà di associare ad esse una precisa ma superflua connotazione politica. L’evidente ambiguità non va dunque ignorata, bensì considerata teste del fatto che alla base della più corretta riflessione teorica attorno ad un fatto storico di tale importanza deve esserci innanzitutto un attento esame dei testi antichi, i quali manifestano che le riforme clisteniche vanno considerate dapprima come l’istituzione di un nuovo ordine civico.

Abstract:
Resilience is a widely researched phenomenon, it means different things to different people and is perceived and measured according to the theoretical lens being applied. The following thesis reviews the theoretical development of resilience that has led to contemporary understandings, to establish a platform for the research topic - understanding and building resilience with Art. Narrative research methods are combined with art processes to illuminate the stories of eight culturally diverse women participating in a community based mental health art program, in Western Australia. Fifteen resilience themes emerged from the collective experience, and are presented in a socio-ecological framework to understand the complex interplay between the individual and their environment. Six key learnings that illustrate the unique contribution art has to make to building individual, social and community resilience in the Australian policy context are explored and discussed. The discussion revisits a strengths approach to resilience, and through metaphor and symbol it reminds us that resilience in its most basic form is strength during difficult time. Social, cultural and spiritual aspects of strength and resilience are highlighted; and the concept of resilient places is introduced and the crucial role they have to play in social inclusion and social support is discussed. It brings to light evidence that not all people in Australia have equal access to social networks and the need to bridge the gap to community for people who live with complex needs and are separated from family, friends and other natural support systems. By presenting resilience within a socio-ecological framework, the social and community aspects of resilience cannot be ignored. The strength of this research is the creative use of art and narrative to illuminate the lived experience and communicate findings to a wider audience. The use of a public exhibition and the publication of a colourful resource book and its wide dissemination via the World Wide Web; projected the science in the lime light, inviting a broader and more diverse audience to engage with the stories of resilience, enhancing the potential of the findings to influence community attitudes as well as policy and practice. This research demonstrates that art is much more than ‘a means to an end’, it is valuable research tool that can be used to explore, embody and express complex and challenging social phenomenon, such as resilience.

In Bacillus subtilis, mRNA processing and decay are primarily initiated by the endonuclease RNase Y. Recent work by our group discovered a set of auxiliary factors called the Y complex that is required for the mRNA maturation of 21 operons. It is unclear, however, how these operons specifically are targeted by RNase Y and the Y complex. Here we use in silico sequence motif searches, kmer analysis and secondary structure prediction to analyze these 21 cleavage sites and their surrounding regions. We find enrichment for a guanine immediately preceding the cleavage site. Such enrichment has been previously observed in Staphylococcus aureus RNase Y cleavage sites, indicating a role for the Y complex in processing those sites as well. Surprisingly, there are no other detectable sequence or structural motifs in the regions around the 21 B. subtilis sites. This suggests that Y complex-dependent processing and, more broadly, mRNA processing in B. subtilis, is more complicated than previously anticipated.
