Entre la fin du XIXe siècle et la seconde guerre mondiale, les sciences ont été bouleversées par la critique de la logique expérimentale du progrès et par la remise en question du déterminisme qui structuraient et justifiaient la recherche des lois de la nature. Ces événements ont marqué et catalysé un mouvement général de réorganisation de la recherche, de révision de ses visées de connaissances, de ses méthodes, des intentions pratiques de la science et de ses significations. Ce mémoire apprécie l’apport de cet épisode de l’histoire des sciences à travers les transformations de la sociologie de Émile Durkheim et Marcel Mauss, héritiers de la tradition des sciences modernes ayant contribué à l’élaboration des cadres actuels de la recherche. Rapprochée d’autres entreprises savantes, l’étude de ce cas alimente des discussions plus générales sur le progrès des sciences et la vocation morale de la recherche contemporaine.Between the end of the nineteenth century and the Second World War, science has been shaken by criticism which aimed at experimental logic and determinism. Both principles structured and justified research on the laws of nature. These events have provoked a general movement in the reorganisation of research, in the revision of its objectives and its methods, as well as the practical intentions of science and its meaning. This study evaluates the contribution of this episode in the history of science through the changes in the sociology of Émile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss. While taking into consideration other scientific projects, this case study provides more general reflections on the progress of science and the moral purpose of contemporary research.

Resumo: Tomando como princípio de partida a teoria de Mareei Mauss, refletimos sobre questões pertinentes à educação do corpo, procurando, num primeiro momento, apreender a forma pela qual um enfoque sociológico pudesse contribuir para a construção de um conhecimento sobre esse fenômeno social. Para tanto, fixamos nossa atenção na obra desse Autor, de maneira geral, buscando reconstruir o percurso por ele traçado até a elaboração de seu artigo sobre "as técnicas corporais". Ao realizarmos essa tarefa, centramos o estudo em algumas questões pertinentes ao pensamento de Pierre Bourdieu e Norbert Elias, sobre a educação do corpo, procurando ressaltar alguns pontos capazes de colaborar com essa temática. Com isso, esperamos ter contribuído com a reflexão no âmbito de uma sociologia das atividades corporais preocupada com a constituição de uma teoria capaz de explicar e, por que não, de fundamentar os motivos responsáveis pelas maneiras diversificadas de utilização e, principalmente, de "construção" de determinado tipo de corpo no interior de uma sociedade

Nous tentons : 1) de montrer qu’il existe une grande cohérence entre le projet scientifique de Mauss tel qu’il se cristallise dans son Essai sur le don et son projet éthico-politique en faveur d’un socialisme démocratique et associationniste ; 2) de montrer que le M. A. U. S. S. - le Mouvement anti-utilitariste dans les sciences sociales - en est le digne héritier ; 3) et que, du coup, le paradigme MAUSSien du don a une supériorité de principe sur les paradigmes de l’école de la régulation, de l’économie des conventions, et de celui des tenants de l’économie solidaire ou plutôt, qu'il en est le lieu de convergence et de véritéWe aim : 1) to show a large coherence between the scientific project of Mauss as is formulated in his " essais sur le don " and his ethical-political project in favor of democratic and associational socialism ; 2) to show that the MAUSS - le Mouvement anti-utilitariste dans les sciences sociales - is the worthy heir ; 3) and that therefore the Maussian paradigm of the donation is superior in principle to the paradigms of the “école de la régulation”, of the “économie des conventions”, and of the supporters of a solidarity economy, or rather is the point of convergence and truth

Full textAbstract:
La refondation de la sociologie par un tiers paradigme qui tente de dépasser les problèmes méthodologiques de l'individualisme et du holisme sociologiques doit prendre en considération deux exigences majeures des sciences sociales contemporaines : continuer la réflexion philosophico-sociale en s 'affranchissant des moyens de la phénoménologie classique ; considérer la relation humaine comme le point de départ et le centre de cette perspective. Cette thèse tente de saisir la structure ambivalente de la relation humaine à partir de Georg Simmel et Marcel Mauss, notamment de leur concept respectif : la Wechselwirkung (effet/s de réciprocité) et le don. L'apport de ces auteurs, que l'on peut considérer comme les sources majeures de l'approche proposée, a été souvent ignoré par des théories sociales contemporaines, préférant réduire le problème de l'interaction à un comportement économique-rationnel. Dans notre travail, nous essayons de montrer que Mauss et Simmel mettent pourtant en évidence une problématique riche et complexe de la relation humaine méritant d'être prise sérieusement en compte aujourd'hui. L'analyse et la comparaison des deux auteurs à partir de la confrontation de leur concept (Wechselwirkung et don) met à jour trois sphères susceptibles de nous donner une compréhension de la constitution de la relation humaine (moment de la naissance d'une relation), des déterminations qu'elle engendre entre les entités sociales en relation, et des processus de symbolisation et de différenciation sociale par lesquels elle donne sens et forme au monde environnantThe refoundation of sociology by a third paradigm who tries to overcome the methodological problems of sociological individualism and collectivism has to emphasize two majors trends of the modem social sciences: at first, it is the attempt to continue- social philosophy by others means, i. E. To critisize the use of the phenomenological knowledge in sociology; then, it has to consider the human relation as its key-phenomenon. In this work, we are pointing out the ambivalent structure of social exchange analysing and comparing the concept of Wechselwirkung from Georg Simmel and the gift from Marcel Mauss. The autors can be considered as the major sources of this approach, whereas the main sociological attitude was to reduce or to ignore their central issues, transforming human interaction into economical-rational behaviour. We try on the contrary to emphasize that Simmel and Mauss take in account how a complex social relationship should be theoretically considered nowadays. It can be separated and analysed in three epistemological spheres: the constitutive level (moment of birth of a relationship), the determinative level (determination between social facts each others) and the level of the two processes (symbolization and differentiation) they bind the constitutive and determinative levels and lead to the sens and forms that a human relation produce in the everyday-life

Full textAbstract:
Notre étude porte sur les personnages féminins de Marcel Proust à l'aide du « désir » de René Girard, du « don » de Marcel Mauss et des « focalisations » de Gérard Genette. La focalisation variable dans le récit facilite la compréhension de toutes les relations et en particulier des sentiments amoureux du héros pour les femmes. Il croit pouvoir réaliser ses rêves à travers ces femmes et se réjouit à l'idée de posséder les clés qui lui permettent d'entrer dans le monde qu'il recherche. Ce sera le narrateur vieillissant qui démystifiera ce sentiment. En réalité, sa satisfaction ne provient pas des femmes en elles-mêmes, mais de leurs qualités périphériques qu'il peut retrouver chez elles. Girard défend le désir des mauvais procédés, il parle également du mimétisme, de la rivalité et de la violence dans le désir qui relève de l'imagination. Le « désir girardien » définit correctement le désir maladif du jeune héros envers les femmes. Quant à Mauss, il défend une réciprocité de la reconnaissance comme « trois obligations » afin de pouvoir constituer une bonne relation sociale. Il dévoile principalement les bons procédés tels l'amitié, l'amour et l'échange de cadeaux, mais il traite aussi du sujet de la rivalité. Ces deux théories semblent contradictoires, cependant le désir et le don coexistent dans la Recherche, on les retrouve tous deux au fur et à mesure de notre relecture. La poursuite de l'amitié et de la gloire sociale du héros est défaite, pourtant toutes les pages sur l'art nous montrent la philosophie de Proust, ce qui n'est pas possible par l'amour est possible grâce à la littérature. La Recherche parle de la compréhension de la vie ce qui est un don du romancierMy research focuses on the female characters in In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust from the perspective of the "desire" of René Girard, the "gift" of Marcel Mauss and the "focus" of Gérard Genette. The variable focus in the narrative facilitates the comprehension of all relationships, connections and in particular the passion and the varied emotional projections of the hero for these women. He believes that his dreams will come true through these women. It will be the narrator, another "me" of the hero, who will demystify this feeling. In fact, his satisfaction is not in regard to the women themselves, but to the peripheral qualities that he can find from these women. Girard defends the desire of bad processes, he talks about the mimicry, rivalry and violence in desire which is also from the imagination. Girard's theory of mimetic desire composed of envy, jealousy and helpless hatred corresponds exactly to the unhealthy desire of the young hero for these women. The theory of Mauss regarding mutual recognition as being composed of "three obligations" which constitute a good social relationship. He defends not only the good processes like friendship, love and gift exchange, but also the topic of rivalry. It might seem that these two theories are contradictory, but Desire and the Gift coexist in fact in this novel, we can find them in our new interpretation. The hero's pursuit of friendship and social glory is defeated, however all pages on art shows us the philosophy of Proust, which is not possible by love is possible through literature. In Search of Lost Time is a gift of the author, it's a comprehension all about life

O objetivo central deste trabalho consiste em analisar, através das redes sociais, os vínculos e as formas de retribuição constituídas na carreira de militantes das lideranças da Transamazônica e Xingu-Estado do Pará. Centralizamos nossa análise nas lideranças que construíram sua militância em movimentos sociais e se projetaram em entidades de classe, como a Federação dos Trabalhadores na Agricultura (FETAGRI regional) e o Sindicato dos Trabalhadores na Educação Pública do Pará (SINTEPP regional). O periodo selecionado para essa análise foi a partir da década de 1980, culminando com o momento de reorganização dos movimentos sociais na Transamazônica e Xingu. Consideramos, nestes vínculos, os sistemas de troca e retribuição, compreendidos como as alianças tecidas, as trocas realizadas e as formas de retribuição ao longo de suas trajetórias de militantes. Para tal análise, fundamentamo-nos na concepção de dádiva de Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) e sistematizada em sua obra Essai Sur le Don: Forme et Raison de l’Échange dans les Sociétés Archaiques, de 1925. A dádiva foi escolhida como perspectiva teórica porquanto ela é dotada de poder analítico capaz de explicar um dos aspectos mais significativos da tese: as noções de “aliança” e “vínculo” presentes nas redes tecidas por essas lideranças. A metodologia adotada se baseia na análise das trajetórias de lideranças vinculadas à noção de carreira. Esta noção pretende dar conta de um modelo processual ou sequencial da ação militante, considerando as redes sociais tecidas nas trajetórias das lideranças. Compreendemos, nesta pesquisa, que a adesão, engajamento, longevidade e extensão da militância dessas lideranças são fundadas mediante variadas formas de reconhecimento, baseadas, sobretudo, na obrigação moral de retribuição.
This study’s main objective is to examine compensation links and forms made in militant career of Transamazônica and Xingu leaders (Pará, Brazil) through social networks. Our analysis is focused on leaders who built his/her activism in social movements and they are designed in professional associations such as Agricultural Workers Federation (regional FETAGRI) and Public Education Workers Union (SINTEPP from Pará state). The period selected for this analysis since the 1980, culminating with the moment from reorganization of social movements Transamazônica e Xingu. We conceive such bonds, exchange and retribution systems as woven alliances, exchanges carried out and retribution ways over their trajectories as militants. This analysis is grounded in Marcel Mauss (1872-1950)’ donation concept, which has been and systematized in his essay Essai Sur le Don: Forme et Raison de l’Échange dans les Sociétés Archaiques, from 1925. The gift was chosen as theoretical perspective because it is endowed with analytical power able to explain one of this thesis’ most significant aspects: “covenant” and “link” notions present in the networks woven by such leaders. Methodology is based on leaders’ trajectory analysis linked to career concept. This concept aims to realize a procedural or sequential militant action model when it comes to social networks woven in leaders’ trajectories. In this research, we understand that such leaders’ militancy adherence, engagement, longevity and extent are based upon various recognition forms, mainly related to the moral obligation to return.

La recherche concerne l'aporie de l'anthropologie symbolique maussienne (Marcel Mauss 1872-1950) et très généralement la symbolique du temps dans les formes en Océanie (pétroglyphes, décorations, dessins primitifs, tatouages, etc. . . ). Cette recherche se construit en quatre étapes. Attente et Tabou : Les questions sur l'attente sociale de Marcel Mauss n'ont pas reçu de réponses satisfaisantes. L'examen du ‘blocage' théorique, l'impasse des psychologies de ‘l'émotion' et la question du tabou polynésien sont renouvelés pour mettre en évidence les fausses pistes de l'anthropologie contemporaine. Attente sociale et tabou sont reliés pour relire l'Essai sur le Don où les questions du don et du temps sont posées aporétiquement : pour donner, il faudrait ne rien attendre, et donc qu'est-ce qu'attendre ? Les lectures sociologiques et culturalistes ne saisissent pas la symbolique sociale, méconnaissent le symbolique et la ‘pragmatique' que Mauss cherchait à fonder. Cette étape saisit l'actualité de la question posée et ouvre le débat. Anthropologie et Psychanalyse : L'anthropologie pseudo-freudienne prétend réfléchir une ‘pragmatique' en la sortant de son domaine symbolique et donc il est nécessaire de revenir historiquement sur les relations entre les deux disciplines. Cette étape reprend les éléments historiques et méthodologiques. Théophagie et Formes de la ‘persona' : La ‘consommation' du présent autorise une symbolique océanienne fondatrice. Un fantasme anthropologique universel condense tous les stades de l'oralité polynésiennes. Comment permettre l'appréciation culturelle du peuple polynésien après l'Essai sur le Don ? Lier l'analyse des contre-investissements refoulant ce fantasme à l'apparition de ‘signifiants' formels du ‘temps' dans les formes et tatouages. Force refoulante contre la pulsion cannibalique, la représentation théophagique océanienne apparaît comme un ‘masque formel'. Cette étape situe la clef fondamentale pour saisir une symbolique socialeThis research work deals specifically with the aporia of Maussian symbolical anthropology (Marcel Mauss 1872-1950) and more generally with the symbolism of time in Oceanian forms (petroglyphs, decorations, primitive drawings, tattooings, etc. . . ). It is divided into four parts. Expectations and Taboo : The questions asked by Mauss about social expectations have never been satisfactorily answered. A reappraisal of the theoretical ‘block', the dead-end of the psychology of ‘emotions' and the theme of Polynesian taboo is proposed to show how contemporary anthropology has been led astray. Social expectations and taboo are linked to inspire a second reading of The Gift in which both themes of gift and time are aporetically tackled. If giving and expecting are mutually exclusive, what does expecting mean ? Cultural and sociological interpretations fail to grasp social symbolism, are unaware of the symbolic system and pragmatics which Mauss was attempting to found. This first stage stresses the topicality of our work and open the debate. Anthropology and Psychoanalysis : Pseudo-Freudian anthropology claims to be giving birth to a ‘pragmatics' by taking it out of its symbolical realm. It is therefore necessary to historically look back on the relationships that the two sciences have been entertaining. This second stage takes up again the historical and methodological elements. Theophagy and Forms of the ‘Persona' : The ‘consumption' of the present renders possible a founding Oceanian symbolic system. A universal anthropological fantasy condenses all the phases of Polynesian orality. How does The Gift affect our cultural perception of the Polynesians ? By tying up the analysis of the counterinvestments repressing that fantasy to the apparition of formal ‘signifiers' of time in forms and tattoos. Force aimed at the cannibalistic drive, the Oceanian theophagous representation looks like a ‘formal mask'

Ce travail etudie l'oeuvre du sociologue francais marcel mauss en l'affectant du double statut d'operateur privilegie et de symptome d'un bouleversement theorique global ou se produit une reformulation complete des rapports des sciences de l'homme et de la philosophie. L'objet de l'analyse, historiquement resitue dans une premiere partie, est celui de la configuration epistemologique specifique qui se met en place au debut du xxeme siecle, a partir des trois axes de la philosophie, de l'anthropologie et de la sociologie. Deux lignes sont ensuite suivies ou apparait l'originalite du projet maussien. La premiere consiste dans l'examen du rapport du social et du psychique, et dans le depassement de l'alternative de l'individuel et du collectif qui y est impliquee. La seconde est celle tracee par le developpement de la linguistique, et par le mouvement singulier qui la rapporte a l'etude des phenomenes sociaux. A l'issue de cet examen, le noyau theorique de l'approche maussienne, le concept de symbolisme, est etudie pour lui-meme, d'un point de vue philosophique. Il est enfin repris et illustre en suivant l'etude que le sociologue consacre au phenomene du don. La these contient une bibliographie et un index des nomsThis dissertation is a study of the work of the french sociologist marcel mauss, which gives this work a double status : it is both the main source and the symptom of a general theoretical seachange and a whole reformulation of the relation between human sciences and philosophy. The first part of the thesis defines in historical terms the object of the analysis : specific epistemological setting wich emerges at the begining of the xxth century from those three lines constitued by philosophy, anthropology and sociology. The originality of mauss' project is then studied following tow directions : first, a close examination of the social-psychic relation, overcoming the implied dualism of the individual and the collective. Second, a study of the development of linguistic, and its relation to the study of social phenomena. Closing the examination is a study of the theoretical core of the whole maussian approach, the concept of symbolism, wich is illustrated with the study of the gift phenomenon. The thesis includes a bibliography and an index of names

Resumo: O conceito de solidariedade é um dos conceitos fundantes da Sociologia. Não obstante este status, durante muitas décadas a solidariedade ocupou um lugar secundário nos debates do campo sociológico, a despeito das profundas transformações pelas quais as sociedades contemporâneas passaram, com evidentes reflexos nos processos vários de socialização e diferenciação. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho pretende recuperar um conceito crítico e contemporâneo de solidariedade e suprir o déficit teórico apontado. Para tanto, será empenhada uma análise genealógica do conceito, elucidando suas raízes históricas, para em seguida perseguir seu desdobramento e desenvolvimento já em pleno século XX, dentro de dois grandes paradigmas das ciências sociais: o paradigma comunicativo, na esteira da Teoria Crítica de Jürgen Habermas; e o paradigma da dádiva, decorrente de uma releitura não-estruturalista do Ensaio sobre a Dádiva de Marcel Mauss. Finalizando, pretende-se que, do confronto entre os dois paradigmas, suas virtudes e fraquezas, possam emergir um conceito vivo e atual de solidariedade, que faça jus a sua importância dentro das Ciências Sociais
Abstract: Solidarity is a founding concept of Sociology. Notwithstanding such status, for many decades solidarity has occupied a marginal position in the sociological debates, despite the deep transformations through which the contemporary societies have passed, with clear consequences in various processes of socialization and differentiation. Accordingly, this work seeks to recover a critical and contemporary concept of solidarity and overcome the aforementioned theoretical deficiency. It is committed to the genealogical analysis of the concept and the clarification of its historical roots, pursuing its ramifications and development in the twentieth century in two major paradigms of the social sciences: the communicative paradigm, based on the Critical Theory by Jürgen Habermas, and the gift paradigm, from a non-structuralist review of Marcel Mauss' The Gift. Finally, the author's purpose is to give rise to a living and current concept of solidarity through a discussion of the virtues and weaknesses of the two paradigms, thus calling attention to the importance of solidarity within the social sciences

Full textAbstract:
Explorer la grâce à la lumière des pratiques de don étudiées par Marcel Mauss a une pertinence tout à la fois anthropologique et théologique, donc humaine : telle est l’hypothèse qui est à l’origine de cette recherche de théologie systématique. Concrètement, il s’agit de vérifier cette hypothèse à partir d’une lecture analytique des travaux de deux auteurs qui, dans leurs champs disciplinaires respectifs, se sont intéressés à l’«Essai sur le don» de Mauss pour repenser la grâce, et qui ont aussi accordé une attention soutenue à la dimension rituelle des pratiques de don. Du côté de l’anthropologie, Marcel Hénaff rattache explicitement la grâce – pratiques et pensées diverses – à la tradition du «don réciproque cérémoniel» dans les sociétés segmentaires, mais il montre aussi et surtout en quoi elle implique une transformation majeure de cette tradition. Tant du côté du don cérémoniel que de celui de la grâce, il s’agit de reconnaissance publique et de lien social – dit autrement, de symbolisme –, mais il s’agit aussi de formes distinctes. Autant il importe de rattacher ces diverses formes aux contextes et aux types d’organisation sociale qui les portent, autant il importe également de prendre en considération la part «invisible» de la reconnaissance pour bien comprendre ce qui s’y joue, c’est-à-dire la reconnaissance avec les diverses figures de l’invisible – esprits, ancêtres, dieux. De plus, la pensée anthropologique de la reconnaissance de Marcel Hénaff jette un éclairage singulier sur la tradition chrétienne et sur ce qu’elle a fait du don. Du côté de la théologie chrétienne, Louis-Marie Chauvet pense lui aussi la grâce en lien avec les travaux de Mauss sur le don. Bien que sa théorie du «symbolique» soit hétéroclite, le don cérémoniel comme «échange symbolique» y occupe une place de choix. L’échange symbolique va même jusqu’à configurer le champ des questions, et il intervient de manière centrale dans sa théologie de l’alliance chrétienne et de la grâce. Il en va de même pour l’eucharistie, qu’il approche comme un rituel/sacrement de don à partir duquel il interroge l’héritage chrétien de la grâce. À plusieurs égards, les travaux d’Hénaff et de Chauvet s’appellent et se complètent. Le premier est attentif aux rituels dans les sociétés segmentaires et il manifeste une authentique curiosité théologique. Cependant, il en dit peu sur la ritualité chrétienne. Le second, quant à lui, est attentif aux rituels chrétiens et il manifeste une authentique curiosité anthropologique, mais il tend parfois à sous-estimer l’écart entre l’«échange symbolique» dans les sociétés segmentaires et ce qui pourrait être l’«échange symbolique» dans le christianisme. Enfin, tous les deux portent une interrogation de fond sur les sociétés occidentales modernes, sur leurs fécondités, mais aussi sur les défis qu’elles doivent affronter, notamment en ce qui concerne le lien social et les empiétements de l’économique sur l’ensemble des secteurs de vie. À partir des travaux de ces deux auteurs, la présente recherche vise donc à faire entendre certaines des résonnances actuelles de l’alliance chrétienne et de la grâce en ce qui concerne l’avènement du sujet croyant, le lien ecclésial, la vie sacramentaire et la participation des Églises à la société civile et au lien social en contexte de modernité occidentale.Exploring grace in light of the gift practices studied by Marcel Mauss is relevant from an anthropological standpoint as much as from a theological standpoint: such is the hypothesis explored in this systematic theology research. Precisely, this hypothesis is tested through an analytical reading of the works of two authors who, in their respective fields and with the ambition of rethinking grace, showed a resolute interest in Mauss’s essay on the gift and devoted a special attention to the ritual dimension of gift practices. In his work, Marcel Hénaff considers grace from an anthropological point of view and relates it – with its diverse practices and theories – to the ceremonial gift exchange tradition which can be found in societies without a central state, but he also mainly shows how it implies a major transformation of this tradition. Ceremonial gift exchange and grace are primarily concerned with public recognition and social bonding – in other words, with symbolism – but that recognition is also embodied in very different institutions. In order to understand what is at stake in these different forms of recognition, it is essential not only to relate them to the different types of social organization in which they are found, but also to consider their «invisible» part, that is the relationships with the diverse figures of the invisible – spirits, ancestors, gods. This is how Marcel Hénaff’s anthropology of recognition sheds light on the Christian tradition and on its handling of the gift. In Christian theology, Louis-Marie Chauvet also approaches grace in relation to Mauss’s essay and thinking on gift practices. In Chauvet’s variegated theory of the «symbolic», the ceremonial gift as a «symbolic exchange» stands out. The vocabulary associated with symbolic exchange not only formulates the important questions, it is also central in his theology of Christian covenant and grace. The same applies to the Eucharist, which he addresses as a gift ritual and through which he examines the Christian heritage of grace. In many ways, Hénaff’s and Chauvet’s work complete each other. The former is mindful of the rituals in societies without a central state and shows an authentic theological curiosity. However, he does not say much about Christian rituality. The latter is mindful of Christian rituals and shows an authentic anthropological curiosity, but he tends to underestimate the difference between «symbolic exchange» in societies without a central state and what could be a Christian «symbolic exchange». Finally, both examine and question western and modern societies regarding their possibilities, but also the challenges they are facing concerning social bonding, as well as the overlapping of economic exchanges in every sphere of life. The objective of this research and its analysis of the works of these two authors is to enlighten today’s relevance of covenant and grace in its various aspects: the advent of the subject, the ecclesiological bond, the sacramental life and the participation of Christian Churches in the social life in western modernity.

L’analyse du rôle et de la place occupés par la notion de salut religieux dans les travaux de Durkheim, de Weber et de Mauss nous donne l’occasion d’éclairer leurs divergences concernant l’élaboration des concepts sociologiques nécessaires pour comprendre la religion. Les notions de mana et de don, analysées en profondeur par Mauss, sont des éléments d’explication essentiels pour thématiser les phénomènes du salut religieux. Dans notre thèse, nous tentons de montrer que ces notions peuvent être utilisées afin de résoudre certaines difficultés que la sociologie durkheimienne éprouve pour appréhender la genèse et le développement de ces phénomènes. Ces notions sont aussi fondamentales pour réinterpréter certains sujets centraux de la sociologie wébérienne des religionsThe analysis of the role and status occupied by the notion of religious salvation in the works of Durkheim, Weber and Mauss gives us the opportunity to clarify their differences on the development of sociological concepts necessary to understand the religion. The concepts of mana and gift, analysed in depth by Mauss, are essential elements of explanation for thematizing the phenomena of religious salvation. In our thesis, we try to show that these concepts can be used to resolve some difficulties of Durkheim’s sociology in its understanding of the genesis and development of these phenomena. These concepts are also fundamental to reinterpret some of the central subjects of Weber’s sociology of religions

La thèse de maîtrise écrite dans le cadre du programme de Mondialisation et développement international a pour sujet la Responsabilité sociale (ou sociétale) des entreprises (RSE) et le rôle social joué par ces dernières. Alors que la conceptualisation de la RSE et la théorisation du sujet sont nombreuses et divergentes, en raison notamment de la pluralité de regards et de perspectives sur la question, le projet de recherche est développé de manière à balayer les divers théories et concepts pour en soutirer les failles et les forces. Cette thèse répond à l'invitation d'Elizabet Garriga et Domènec Melé (2004, 66) de trouver un courant théorique qui pallie les faiblesses des approches de leur taxonomie en plus d'en catalyser les forces. Dans cette partie, les théories politiques présentent un cadre d'analyse permettant d'aborder la RSE sous une perspective de relations de pouvoir entre une entreprise, les stakeholders et l'État. Puis, les théories éthiques recensent tour à tour le développement durable et les droits humains avant de souligner leur apport implicite à l'approche du bien commun afin de présenter la particularité de guider les entreprises à respecter et honorer un ensemble de normes. Puis finalement, la théorie des stakeholders apporte une dimension descriptive, systématique, des échanges potentiels entre l'entreprise et les stakeholders, contrastant avec les autres approches, qui sont principalement, et éminemment normatives. Après une conceptualisation et une revue de littérature sur le sujet, la RSE est alors théorisée sous une perspective de l'anthropologie française du don de Marcel Mauss. En considérant les outils d'analyse laissés par Marcel Mauss et son legs sur le don et le contre-don, la RSE peut être comprise comme un ensemble de relations sociales dynamiques entre une communauté et une entreprise au sein desquelles les deux agents sociaux s'échangent des biens et services – par le biais de la RSE – dans le but d'assurer une certaine cohésion sociale. Le principe généré par le du don et contre-don est en soi consternant de simplicité. Une personne X représentant un groupe d'individus donne à un autre agent Y, représentant lui aussi un groupe d'individus. En acceptant le don, l'agent Y se place dans une position où il se trouve obligé de redonner à la personne X. C'est le contre-don, qui résulte de la triple obligation : celle de donner, de recevoir et de rendre. À travers ces échanges matériels irréductibles, les deux agents s'engagent l'un à l'autre, ils créent, recréent et perpétuent cet engagement social. Un lien est tissé; leur relation est donc sociale. C'est sous ce schème analytique que le cadre théorique s'inscrit, en utilisant le don de Mauss comme assise afin de déterminer si la RSE est sociale. Le cadre théorique ainsi développé est finalement analysé par une étude de cas localisée au Nigéria, mettant sur la sellette les activités de RSE de l'entreprise pétrochimique Royal Dutch Shell.

Full textAbstract:
De prime abord, un foyer de jeune travailleur est un établissement poursuivant des buts éducatifs plausibles et dont la réalisation ne souffrent qu'accessoirement de la contingence, les actions du staff dirigeants ainsi que des membres sont supposées oeuvrer, en toute conformité avec ces buts, dans l'insertion socioprofessionnelle du jeune travailleur. Sans récuser radicalement cette prétention que tout membre de cette institution peut en toute sincérité soutenir, le pari de cette recherche est d'explorer cet établissement social en lui conférant le statut d'une société locale, emmagasinant en elle son propre régime de détermination et d'indétermination. Une approche somme toute classique mais qui prétend revisiter ce pari théorique en s'adossant sur la théorie maussienne du fait social total afin non pas d'administrer un regard de dévoilement critique consistant a ravitailler ces travailleurs sociaux en outils salutaires mais tout simplement jauger de l'actualité de cette théorie au sein d'un corpus provenant essentiellement de la sensibilité institutionnaliste mais irriguée par diverses pertinences dites microsociologiques, des articulations ont été tentées sous forme de tension instituante telle que indexicalite/transversalite, affiliation instituée/affiliation institutionnelle, savoir professionnel/savoir pratique. L'expérience sociale de la mise en institution est essentiellement un processus d'acquisition raisonné d'un savoir social instituant au sujet de cette société locale, l'affiliation institutionnelle est le terme générique qui désigne les qualités sociologiques de cette expérience mais au delà de cette hypothèse générale, car inhérente a toute mise en institution, l'enjeu n'est plus d'attester de la validité sociale et sociologique de cet apprentissage mais d'expliciter en quoi cet apprentissage s'insere-t-il dans un fait social typique a cette société, fait que Mauss qualifie de fait social totalAt first sight, a young worker's hostel is an establishment aiming at plausible and respectable goals. The purpose of this research is not to wholly challenge the social function of that institution bat to show to what extent the social experiment of the translation of a social heed into an institution provides not only a process where the identity of its members is patterned in details and reconsidered but also a curriculum concerning practical social skills allowing its members to make up a local or society managing its own rules concerning labels and lack of labels. Institutional affiliation is the generic term which designates that experiment. Key words : total social phenomenon, indexicality, commitment, institutional affiliation, practical social skill, establishment

Les travaux de Marcel Mauss connaissent au tournant des années 1980 un renouveau d’intérêt, notamment avec la revue du MAUSS. Cet intérêt serait attribuable à la conception originale du social comme symbolisme qui s’esquisse chez ce durkheimien hétérodoxe. Cette thèse compare les perspectives de quatre lecteurs contemporains du symbolisme maussien issus de la socio-anthropologie française, soit Camille Tarot, Bruno Karsenti, Alain Caillé et Jacques T. Godbout. Si ces derniers s’entendent sur l’importance des travaux de Mauss, le sens à donner aux concepts de fait social total et de don diffère sensiblement selon les auteurs : Tarot et Karsenti, en accordant plus d’importance à la découverte du fait social total, décèlent chez Mauss une conception sociale accordant une place à la totalité symbolique, alors que Caillé et Godbout, en insistant davantage sur la découverte maussienne du don, y trouvent les prolégomènes d’un tiers paradigme se situant entre l’holisme et l’individualisme.

Full textAbstract:
Idealizados por Inácio de Loyola (1491-1556) na primeira metade do século XVI, os
“Exercícios Espirituais para vencer a si mesmo e ordenar a própria vida, sem se determinar
por nenhuma afeição desordenada” ou, simplesmente, “Exercícios Espirituais” é mais uma
proposta cristã que se pretende instrumento de renovação íntima e pessoal. Anotados em um
livreto, Loyola nele preconiza uma série de exercícios que conduziriam o exercitante à
descoberta da vontade de Deus para sua vida pessoal com vistas à Salvação. Mas, se para
Loyola a renovação da pessoa passa inequivocamente pelo exercício da alma, o corpo não
escapa, pois, a este processo. Tomando o livro de Exercícios como fonte de investigação,
perguntamo-nos: qual o lugar do corpo nos Exercícios Espirituais? Tendo como premissa ser
as noções de pessoa humana um dado sócio-cultural e as noções de corpo delas tributárias,
como afirma David Le Breton, procuramos identificar os usos do corpo a partir do conceito
maussiano de técnicas do corpo. Feito este trabalho pudemos verificar que os usos do corpo
demandados pelos Exercícios estão para além daqueles reconhecidos pelo seu idealizador
enquanto tais. Exames de consciência, meditações/contemplações, modos de orar, uso da
imaginação, dentre outros, também podem ser entendidas enquanto técnicas corporais.
Portanto, apesar dos Exercícios se pretenderem fundamentalmente espirituais, eles são em sua
totalidade Exercícios corporais.Idéalisés par Ignacio de Loyola dans la première moitié du XVI siècle, les «Exercices spirituels pour se vaincre soi-même et ordonner sa vie sans se décider par quelque attachement qui serait désordonné», ou, simplement, Exercices Spirituels est une autre proposition chrétienne qui s´utilise comme instrument de rénovation intime et personnelle. Loyola a écrit un livre dans lequel il préconise une série d´exercices qui permet à l’exercitant d’obtenir son Salut à travers la volonté de Dieu. Mais, si pour Loyola la rénovation de la personne passe inévitablement par l´exercice de l´âme, le corps n´échappe pas à ce processus. Si nous prenons le livre «Exercices Spirituels» comme source d´investigation, nous pouvons nous demander: quelle y est la place du corps? Ayant comme prémisse les notions de personnes humaines une donnée socio-culturelle et les notions de corps dont elles sont tributaires comme affirme David Le Breton, nous cherchons à identifier les utilisations du corps à partir du concept de Marcel Mauss des «techniques du corps». Après avoir fait ce travail nous pouvons vérifier que les utilisations du corps sollicitées par les Exercices sont audelà de ceux reconnus comme tels par son créateur. Examens de conscience, méditations/contemplations, manières de prier, utilisations de l´imagination entre autres, peuvent être considérés comme techniques corporels. Bien que les «Exercices Spirituels» se prétendent fondamentalement spirituels, ils sont dans leur totalité des exercices corporels.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude aborde la carrière et l’oeuvre de René-Yves Creston, artiste qui dans les années vingt, fonde le groupe Ar Seiz Breur. Impliqués dans la vie culturelle locale, les artistes du groupe participent au renouveau des arts décoratifs en Bretagne. Gravure, peinture, faïence, meuble sont autant de domaines dans lesquels ils influencent l’esthétique régionale de la première moitié du XXe siècle dans l’esprit des Arts and Crafts, de l’école de Zakopane et d’autres mouvements européens. Fréquentant les milieux intellectuels parisiens, René-Yves Creston devient un organisateur hors pair et permet à Ar Seiz Breur de participer à des expositions internationales d’envergure. Dans les années trente, son attrait pour le milieu maritime lui permet de participer à la campagne de 1933 au Groenland. Découvrant la pratique ethnographique, il s’inscrit à l’Institut d’ethnologie à la fin des années trente pour y suivre les cours de Marcel Mauss et intègre le musée de l’Homme pour lequel il effectue une mission aux Féroé. Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il participe à la création du réseau du musée de l’Homme et continue ses recherches autour de l’ethnographie bretonne. Après guerre, Georges Henri Rivière l’introduit dans le milieu des musées de société. René-Yves Creston est à l’origine de nombreuses collections dans les musées bretons et au musée des Arts et Traditions populaires. Attaché à l’étude de la région bretonne, il continue néanmoins à s’investir dans l’ethnologie maritime européenne. De la fin du XIXe siècle à la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, cette étude revient sur le parcours d’un artiste ethnologue dont les préoccupations se tournent sur l’étude de l’homme, de l’utilisation du réalisme dans sa pratique artistique à l’étude des peuples en ethnologieThis study approaches the career and work of René-Yves Creston : this artist, who, in the twenties co-created the group of Seiz Breur. Strongly involved in local cultural life, the group-artists took part in the revival of decorative crafts in Brittany: engraving, painting, earthenware, furniture, so many areas in which they affect the regional aesthetics of the first mid-twentieth century, in the same spirit as Arts and Crafts or Zakopane school or other european movements. Taking part in parisian intellectual life, René-Yves Creston became a leader, without equal organiser so he leaded Seiz Breur to take part in famous international exhibitions. In the thirties, his own interest for the maritim world leads him to take part in 1933 in a trip to Greenland. He then discovered the ethnographic practice. He joins then the ethnological institute and at the end of thirties follows Marcel Mauss’s lessons and fit in “musée de l’Homme” for which he was involved in a mission in Feröe islands. During the world war two, he took part in setting up the “Réseau du musée de l’Homme”. He then follows on his searches about breton ethnography. After the war, Georges Henri Rivière introduced him in thesociety-museums circles. René-Yves Creston leaded to many collections in breton museums and Arts and popular Traditions museum. Deeply involved in the study of brittany, he carries on taking part in european maritim ethnology studies. From the end of 19th century to second part of 20th, this work reads the process of this man, starting as an artist, who becomes an ethnologist using his realism in art as a tool for his study of man

O presente estudo tem como objeto de análise Feliz Ano Velho (1982), do escritor Marcelo Rubens Paiva. Partindo de considerações acerca da escrita memorialística, nosso intuito é apontar possíveis leituras da obra em questão. A principal delas refere-se à cena judiciária na autobiografia, na qual o autor realiza uma dupla empresa: a inquisição de si mesmo e do regime militar. Nesse tribunal metafórico, as motivações de Marcelo seriam a culpa pelo próprio infortúnio – a paralisia corporal, após o mergulho em uma lagoa, e a revolta diante do desaparecimento do pai, ocorrido durante o período ditatorial brasileiro, nos anos 1970. Também faz parte de nossa pesquisa, a investigação das estratégias empreendidas pelo autobiógrafo, em sua busca por um veredicto satisfatório de seus leitores⁄juízes. O questionamento do paradigma da verdade e o desvendamento de uma retórica da sinceridade servem de embasamento neste nosso segundo objetivo.
This study has as subjective Feliz Ano Velho (1982), by writer Marcelo Rubens Paiva. Leaving of reflections concerning the memory writing, our intention is to point possible readings of the workmanship in question. The main one of them mentions the judiciary scene to it in the autobiography, in which the author carries through a double company: the inquisition of itself exactly and the military regimen. In this metaphoric court, the motivations of Marcelo would be the guilt for the proper misfortune - the corporal paralysis, after the diving in a lagoon, and the revolt ahead of the disappearance of the father, occurred during the brazilian ditatorial period, in years 1970. Also it is part of our research, the inquiry of the strategies undertaken for the autobiographer, in its search for a satisfactory verdict of its readers⁄ judges. The questioning of the paradigm of the truth and the clarification of a rhetoric of the sincerity serve of basement in this our as objective one.

Mestrado em GestãoA gamificação consiste na utilização de elementos de jogos e técnicas de design em contextos da vida real. Este estudo procura compreender os benefícios que podem advir para as marcas através da utilização de técnicas de gamificação, no que respeita ao desenvolvimento de experiências e relacionamentos com as marcas e com o seu mercado-alvo. Nesta linha de pensamento, esta abordagem agrega valor tanto para os clientes e utilizadores da gamificação, como também para as organizações ao aumentar o engagement dos mesmos. Este estudo investigou ainda sobre as principais motivações e expectativas criadas pelo mercado perante o fenómeno da gamificação, bem como as diferentes estratégias para estimular, promover e influenciar os grupos e pares dos participantes na adesão a esta abordagem, com o intuito de obter o seu engagement e melhorar a experiência e relacionamento dos mesmos com a marca. Dada a natureza exploratória do estudo foram conduzidas sete entrevistas semiestruturadas junto de gestores e profissionais de marketing e dois grupos de discussão com o propósito de recolher informação primária sobre as perceções e motivações dos consumidores. O estudo qualitativo serviu de base para a realização do estudo II, de natureza quantitativa, que teve como propósito tanto a criação de duas escalas que visam a mensuração das experiências de gamificação e influência dos grupos e pares em experiências de gamificação, como o teste e validação hipóteses de estudo. Os resultados sugerem que os clientes procuram diversão, entretenimento, competição, novidades constantes e primordialmente experiências únicas e personalizadas que promovem as experiências com as marcas. A gamificação surge assim como uma ferramenta que oferece todos estes benefícios e fomenta relacionamentos e promove o engagement entre a marca e os seus adeptos. Os resultados também revelaram que setores de produtos de maior envolvimento e marcas com algum prestígio são os mais propícios para a implementação de abordagens gamificadas e que os elementos do jogo assumem um papel fundamental para impulsionar a adesão à gamificação e gerar buzz marketing nomeadamente nas Redes Sociais.
The gamification consists in the use of game elements and design techniques in real-life contexts. Study is aimed at understanding the benefits that may accrue for both consumers and brands when gamified techniques are used in the development of brand Experiences and brand relationships. This study also explores the main motivations and expectations behind the involvement in gamified experiences from a consumer point of view; as well as the different strategies to stimulate and influence the engagement of Social Networks users in gamified systems, improving customer experience and relationship with the brand. Iniatially a study I was developed. Given the exploratory nature of study I, seven managers and marketing professionals were interviewed through semistructured interviews, and two focus groups were performed with the purpose of collecting primary information on consumers’ perceptions and motivations. The qualitative study was performed in order to provide a basis for the realization of the study II (quantitative study). This consists, initially, in the creation of two scales aimed at measuring the gamification of experiences and the influence of groups and peers in gamification experiences; in a second phase it aims to test and validate the study hypothesis. Results indicate that consumers seek fun, entertainment, competition, constant novelties and primarily personalized experiences in gamified experiences. Hence, Gamification emerges as a marketing tool that help managers in the process of driving valuable brand experiences and relationships with their consumers. Findings suggest that high involvement products and prestige brands are the most appropriate to the implementation of gamified systems. Moreover, the game elements have a key role in boosting adherence to gamification and in generating buzz, particularly in social networks. Further study implications are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Objective
Genetic factors play an important role in modulating the vulnerability to body mass index (BMI). The purpose of this study is to identify novel genetic variants for BMI using genome-wide association (GWA) meta-analysis.
Methods
PLINK software was used to perform meta-analysis of two GWA studies (the FUSION and Marshfield samples) of 5218 Caucasian individuals with BMI. A replication study was conducted using the SAGE sample with 762 individuals.
Results
Through meta-analysis we identified 33 SNPs associated with BMI with p < 10− 4. The most significant association was observed with rs2967951 (p = 1.19 × 10− 6) at 5p15.2 within ROPN1L gene. Two additional SNPs within ROPN1L and 5 SNPs within MARCH6 (the top SNP was rs2607292 with 4.27 × 10− 6) further supported the association with BMI on 5p15.2 (p < 1.8 × 10− 5). Conditional analysis on 5p15.2 could not distinguish the effects of ROPN1L and MARCH6. Several SNPs within MARCH6 and ROPN1L were replicated in the SAGE sample (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
We identified a novel locus for BMI. These findings offer the potential for new insights into the pathogenesis of BMI and obesity and will serve as a resource for replication in other populations to elucidate the potential role of these genetic variants in BMI and obesity.

Um dos fatores que mais contribuem para o encarecimento da produção do meloeiro é o custo com fertilizantes. Assim, para a otimização das doses a serem aplicadas visando a máxima produtividade econômica, faz-se necessário conhecer as demandas nutricionais da cultura, bem como as quantidades exigidas dos nutrientes em fases fenológicas chaves. No presente trabalho objetivou-se determinar a marcha de acumulação de macro e de micronutrientes e o balanço nutricional do meloeiro cultivado sob fertirrigação. O experimento foi realizado em área pertencente à Empresa Ecofértil Agropecuária LTDA localizada no município de Aracati (CE). O experimento foi instalado em delineamento de blocos casualizados com 9 tratamentos, correspondentes a 9 períodos de avaliação 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 dias após transplantio (DAT) com quatro repetições. A parcela útil para fins de coleta foi constituída de 8 plantas tornando-se as quatro centrais de cada fileira. Em intervalos de sete em sete dias, as plantas foram coletadas e separadas em folha, caule, fruto e semente para fins da determinação de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, B, Zn e Cu, para a quantificação dos totais acumulados destes nutrientes. Na ocasião da coleta de planta, uma amostra de solo foi coletada em cada parcela para a determinação dos nutrientes. De acordo com os resultados, o acúmulo de massa seca nas partes reprodutivas foi maior que nas partes vegetativas, sendo os frutos os órgãos de maior acúmulo de massa seca. Já a marcha de acúmulo de nutrientes seguiu a seguinte ordem: K>Ca>N>Mg>P>S>Fe>Cu>B>Zn>Mn. Os valores do balanço nutricional foram negativos para o potássio, nitrogênio e cobre, sendo recomendado ajuste na fertirrigação em relação a esses nutrientes.
One of the factors that contribute the most to the increase in melon production is the cost of fertilizers. Thus, to optimize the doses to be applied aiming at maximum economic productivity, it is necessary to know the nutritional demands of the crop, as well as the required quantities of the nutrients in key phenological phases. The objective of this study was to determine the progression of macro and micronutrients accumulation and the nutritional balance of the melon cultivated under fertirrigation. The experiment was carried out in an area belonging to the Company Ecofértil Agropecuária Ltda located in the city of Aracati (CE). The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with 9 treatments, corresponding to 9 evaluation periods 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70 days after transplanting (DAT) with four replications. The useful part for the purpose of collection was constituted of 8 plants becoming the four centers of each row. At intervals of seven days, the plants were collected and separated into leaf, stem, fruit and seed for the determination of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, B, Zn and Cu, for The quantification of accumulated totals of these nutrients. At the time of plant collection, a soil sample was collected in each plot to determine the nutrients. According to the results, the accumulation of dry mass in the reproductive parts was higher than in the vegetative parts, the fruits being the organs with the highest accumulation of dry mass. However, the nutrient accumulation progressed in the following order: K> Ca> N> Mg> P> S> Fe> Cu> B> Zn> Mn. The values of the nutritional balance were negative for potassium, nitrogen and copper, being recommended adjustment in fertirrigation in relation to these nutrients.

Full textAbstract:
Ces travaux ont pour objectif de modéliser les mécanismes de dispersion dans les aquifères. L’hétérogénéité du champ de vitesse et le transfert de masse entre zones immobiles et mobiles sont deux origines possibles du comportement non-Fickéen, jusqu’alors étudiées de façon séparée. Notre hypothèse de départ est que ces deux mécanismes coexistent. Nos travaux comprennent : 1) des expériences de traçage sur colonnes de billes de verre et carottes de grès de Berea, en mode flow-through et push-pull, et 2) des simulations numériques réalisées à partir d’images en microtomographie RX segmentées en trois phases : solide, vide et microporosité. L’analyse du champ de vitesse (Stokes) montre l’importance de la discrétisation spatiale et de la prise en compte de la microporosité. Les résultats des simulations de transport (en utilisant la méthode time domain random walk) permettent de quantifier l’effet combiné de l’hétérogénéité du champ de vitesse et des transferts diffusifs dans la fraction micro-poreuse de la roche sur la dispersion non-Fickéenne, caractérisée à partir des courbes de restitution (BTC). Ces résultats sont cohérents avec les observations expérimentales. Nous concluons que ces deux effets doivent être pris en compte même si leur identification à partir de la forme des BTCs issues des traçages des milieux naturels (souvent caractérisés par de faible valeurs du nombre de Peclet ) reste difficile. Enfin, un modèle moyen macroscopique 1D est proposé dans le cadre d’une approche de type continuous time random walk dans laquelle des distributions spécifiques du temps de transfert des particules sont construites pour chacun des deux mécanismes de transportHis work aims at modeling hydrodynamic dispersion mechanisms in aquifers. So far both flow field heterogeneity and mobile-immobile mass transfer have been studied separately for explaining the ubiquitously observed non-Fickian behaviors, but we postulate that both mechanisms contribute simultaneously. Our investigations combine laboratory experiments and pore scale numerical modeling. The experimental rig was designed to enable push-pull and flow through tracer tests on glass bead columns and Berea sandstone cores. Modeling consists in solving Stokes flow and solute transport on 3D X-ray microtomography images segmented into three phases: solid, void and microporosity. Transport is modeled using time domain random walk. Statistical analysis of the flow field emphasizes the importance of the mesh resolution and the inclusion of the microporosity. Results from the simulations show that both the flow field heterogeneity and the diffusive transport in the microporous fraction of the rock contribute to the overall non-Fickian transport behavior observed, for instance, on the breakthrough curves (BTC). These results are supported by our experiments. We conclude that, in general, this dual control must be taken into account, even if these different influences can hardly be distinguished from a qualitative appraisal of the BTC shape, specifically for the low values of the Peclet number that occurs in natural conditions. Finally, a 1D up-scaled model is developed in the framework of the continuous time random walk, where the influences of the flow field heterogeneity and mobile-immobile mass transfer are both taken into account using distinct transition time distributions

Resumo: Esta pesquisa propõe-se a demonstrar como uma terceira onda de recatolização brasileira está sendo constituída, liderada por uma nova face da Renovação Carismática Católica: o catolicismomidiático, cujo emblema é o fenômeno Pe. Marcelo Rossi. O estudo identifica as mutações culturais que alavancam a consolidação dessa recatolização, suas semelhanças com o neopentecostalismo protestante e os conflitos intra-eclesiais gerados por essa ofensiva de reinstitucionalização, inspirada e legitimada no pontificado de João Paulo II. Alerta-se, também, para os traços ¿neointegristas¿ e ¿exculturados¿ que tendem a redesenhar outra fase do catolicismo, a qual vem fermentando nos últimos trinta anos. No âmago dessa discussão, encontram-se os dilemas e os paradoxos que emergem na relação histórica entre a Igreja e a modernidade, quando a primeira apropria-se da cultura midiática, através do uso religioso dos meios de comunicação de massa, no afã de adaptar-se aos sinais dos tempos. A tese consta de três partes: a primeira captura as interfaces da vertiginosa ascensão do jovem sacerdote com a cultura de consumo; a segunda esboça os traços do catolicismo midiático e a maneira como ele configura imaginários, subjetividades e sociabilidades religiosas, veiculando-as na rádio, televisão, internet e cinema, além de analisar os desdobramentos sociais dessas práticas pastorais; e a terceira aproxima o leitor à dinâmica interna de uma instituição milenar, experiente na arte de gerenciar diferenças, negociar hegemonias e de manter um equilíbrio sistêmico. No seu conjunto, esta reflexão ambiciona sugerir a relevância do fenômeno religioso na sociedade contemporânea
Abstract: This research seeks to demonstrate how a third way of the Brazilian re-catholicizing is being constructed under the leadership of a new face of the Catholic Charismatic Renovation: the Media-Catholicism, whose emblem is the priest Marcelo Rossi¿s phenomenon. The study identifies the cultural changes that leverage the consolidation of the current re-catholicizing process. Also, it identifies the similarities with the Protestant Neo-Pentecostalism and the intra-Catholic Church conflicts ¿the last one created by the re-institutionalization effort inspired and legitimated during John Paul II pontifical period. Besides, it calls the attention to the ¿neo-integrist¿ and ¿exculturated¿ traces that tend to re-design another phase of Catholicism, the one that is being leavened for the last thirty years. The dilemmas and paradoxes that emerged into the historical relation between the Catholic Church and modernity are at the center of this discussion. Particularly, when the Church, in the eager to adapt itself to the signals of the time, resorts to the media culture, making religious use of the mass means of communication. This thesis is divided in three parts: the first one captures the interfaces between the vertiginous rising of the young priest and the culture of consumption; the second, sketches the traces of the media Catholicism and the way in which it configures imageries, subjetivities and religious sociabilities, transmitting them through the radio, television, movies and the Internet ¿analyzing, as well, the social outcomes of those pastoral practices; and the third part takes the reader to the interior dynamics of a millenarian institution, well experienced in the art of managing differences, negotiating hegemonies and maintaining a systemic equilibrium. As a whole, this reflection seeks to call the attention to the importance of a religious phenomenon in the contemporary society

Full textAbstract:
La prévalence de l'obésité a fortement augmenté au cours des dernières décennies dans les pays développés, notamment au sein des catégories sociales les moins favorisées. Cette thèse examine les conséquences économiques et sociales de l'obésité dans différents domaines. En France, l'obésité réduit la probabilité d'être en emploi pour les femmes, et le salaire horaire des femmes et des hommes. Par ailleurs, les personnes obèses consacrent plus de temps aux loisirs, sans que cela se traduise au sein des couples où les deux individus sont obèses par une hausse du temps de loisir en commun. Au Royaume-Uni, les personnes obèses sont moins satisfaites que les personnes non obèses, mais cet effet peut être réduit si le conjoint est lui même obèse. Enfin, des données internationales montrent l'existence de normes de poids non uniformes entre et au sein des pays. En particulier, les femmes connaitraient des normes plus strictes, ce qui expliquerait que les impacts de la corpulence mesurés sont plus élevés pour les femmesThe prevalence of obesity has increased over the last decades in the developed countries, especially among the lowest social groups. This thesis explores the social and economic consequences of obesity in different areas. In France, obesity reduces employment probability for women, and the hourly wage for both men and women. Moreover, obese people spend more time in leisure activities, but it has no consequence on common leisure time in couples in which both partners are obese. In the United Kingdom, obese people are less satisfied than non obese people, but this effect could be mitigated if the partner is also obese. Lastly, international data show that corpulence norms are not uniform between and within countries. In particular, corpulence norms are more stringent for women. It may explain why the estimated impacts of corpulence are higher for women

The determination of growth rates and accumulation of nutrients is important because they provide information on the nutritional requirement of plants, indicating the times are more conducive to application of nutrients. The use of soil cover has become a widespread practice and has led to an increase in growth and productivity in various vegetables, including the tomato plant. Aiming to evaluate the growth, assimilate partitioning and accumulation of nutrients by tomato 'SM-16'in different soil covers led to an experiment in WG Fruits, Baraúna / RN, between September 2009 and January 2010. The experimental design adopted was a randomized complete block with four replications. Treatments were arranged in split plots with the plots represented by the types of soil cover: bare soil, black polyethylene film, white polyethylene film, polyethylene film and polypropylene gray black (TNT), and sub-plots by the time of samplings of the plants: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98 and 112 days after transplanting (DAT). The characteristics evaluated were: accumulation of dry mass and the macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium) in leaves, stems, Inflorescences, fruits and total. The soil covers did not affect accumulation of dry mass by tomato plants. The fruits behaved as preferential drain of the plant, reaching the end of the cycle with 48.6% of the total accumulated dry mass. The accumulation of nutrients followed the pattern of the accumulation of dry mass. Only N accumulation in the fruits, accumulation of K in leaves and total, and accumulation of Ca and Mg in fruits were influenced by soil covers. The highest averages for these characteristics were obtained when using the white polyethylene, TNT and uncovered soil. The nutrients more accumulated by plants were, in the order of magnitude: K> N> Ca> Mg> P, being N, P e K found in higher quantities in fruits, and Ca and Mg in leaves.
A determinação das curvas de crescimento e de acúmulo de nutrientes é importante, pois fornecem informações sobre a exigência nutricional das plantas, sinalizando as épocas mais propícias à aplicação dos nutrientes. A utilização da cobertura do solo tornou-se uma prática bastante difundida e tem levado ao incremento em crescimento e produtividade em várias hortaliças, incluindo o tomateiro. Com o objetivo de avaliar o crescimento, partição de assimilados e acúmulo de macronutrientes pelo tomateiro SM-16 em diferentes coberturas do solo conduziu-se um experimento na WG Fruticultura, Baraúna/RN, entre setembro de 2009 e janeiro de 2010. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos casualizados completos, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em parcelas subdivididas, sendo as parcelas representadas pelos tipos de cobertura do solo: solo descoberto, filme de polietileno preto, filme de polietileno branco, filme de polietileno cinza e polipropileno preto (TNT), e as sub-parcelas pelas épocas de amostragens das plantas: 14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98 e 112 dias após o transplantio (DAT). As características avaliadas foram: acúmulo de massa seca e de macronutrientes (nitrogênio, fósforo, potássio, cálcio e magnésio) nas folhas, caules, inflorescências, frutos e total. As coberturas do solo não influenciaram o acúmulo de massa seca pelo tomateiro. Os frutos se comportaram como dreno preferencial da planta, chegando ao final do ciclo com 48,6 % do total da massa seca acumulada. O acúmulo de macronutrientes seguiu o padrão do acúmulo de massa seca. Somente acúmulo de N nos frutos, acúmulo de K nas folhas e total, e acúmulo de Ca e Mg nos frutos sofreram influência das coberturas do solo. As maiores médias para estas características foram obtidas quando se utilizou o polietileno branco, o TNT e o solo descoberto. Os nutrientes mais acumulados pelas plantas foram na ordem de grandeza: K>N>Ca>Mg>P, sendo N, P e K encontrados em maiores quantidades nos frutos, e Ca e Mg nas folhas.

Notre thèse se concentre sur la question des mécanismes de restructuration du système du monde de l’art à Bruxelles à la fin du XIXe siècle. Nous cherchons à démontrer comment une nouvelle scène artistique construite autour du cercle des XX à Bruxelles, dont l’épanouissement sera pris en charge par l’animateur d’art Octave Maus, produit un art qui est influencé par les enjeux sociaux et politiques portés par un milieu défini de manière sociale, culturelle et générationnelle.Nous avons ainsi voulu replacer le groupe des XX dans son contexte économique, politique et social. La diversification des approches et des sources était donc un aspect essentiel de nos recherches. Plusieurs voies d’approche ont été empruntées, telles que l’histoire culturelle, la sociologie de l’art, l’histoire du marché de l’art, l’analyse politique ainsi que l’étude de la visual culture.
Dans un premier temps, nous analysons l’émergence de la nouvelle scène artistique construite autour du groupe des XX. Nous débutons par une analyse plus monographique du parcours de Maus afin de définir les qualités essentielles de l’animateur d’art qu’il incarne, ainsi que son rôle dans la reconfiguration du milieu culturel. Ensuite, notre étude se concentre sur la mobilisation d’un public autour des salons et la mise en place d’un nouveau marché de l’art aux XX.
Dans un second temps, notre étude se penche sur les œuvres créées par les XX et sélectionnées par le public d’amateurs fidèles au groupe. Nous éclairons cette production artistique en y décelant les influences des questionnements et des prises de position sociales et politiques du public des XX, défini précédemment. L’analyse iconographique et stylistique des œuvres s’accompagne d’un travail sur ce milieu culturel, et particulièrement sur ses positions face aux débats sociaux de l’époque. Cette étude aboutit, d’une part, à une description approfondie du public des XX, et, d’autre part, à une meilleure compréhension de l’originalité de la production esthétique des artistes du groupe. /
This PhD thesis concentrates on the mechanisms by which the artistic world in Brussels was reorganized at the end of the 19th century. The research focuses on the places, institutions, publics, art markets and aesthetic developments that characterized the new artistic scene constructed around the “Salon des XX”. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that this artistic circle, led by Octave Maus, produced an art influenced by social, political and economic issues. Another aim has been to analyze the public that defended the artists by studying its social, cultural and generational nature.
This thesis, which is divided into two parts, for the first time explores the circle of the XX in its economic, political and social environment. The diversification of sources and scientific methods was therefore an essential aspect of the research. Different methods were applied such as, for example, the cultural history, the sociology of art, the history of the art market, political sciences and the visual culture.
The first part of this study is about the emergence of a new artistic scene founded around the “Groupe des XX”. The first objective was to investigate the personal and professional path followed by Octave Maus, the manager of the XX, who played a major role in the evolution of the cultural world. Subsequently the research focuses on the mobilization of a particular public and the creation of a new art market around the XX’s exhibitions.
The second part of this thesis considers the works of art created by the artists of the “Groupe des XX” and chosen by the public for private collections. New light is shed on this artistic production by the study of the social and political position of the XX’s public, considered as a social group. Hence the iconographic and stylistic analysis of the works goes together with a study of the XX’s milieu, and in particular with its political action. The present thesis, and the method that aims to study the works in parallel with the public’s social nature, lead to a better understanding of the cultural milieu and, at the same time, of the originality of the XX’s artistic creation.

Thesis, Paris, HESAM, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020HESAE052.
Full textAbstract:
Un des objectifs majeurs de la rééducation des personnes amputées de membre inférieur appareillées est le retour à une marche physiologique, efficace énergétiquement et minimisant le risque de chutes lié à la perte d’équilibre. Peu d’outils cliniques permettent aujourd’hui de quantifier ces aspects de la locomotion. L’émergence de capteurs embarqués miniaturisés offre des opportunités pour la description quantitative et écologique de la marche. Dans ce contexte, l’objectif de la thèse était de contribuer au développement de protocoles embarqués pour apporter des données quantitatives pertinentes lors de la rééducation à la marche des personnes amputées de membre inférieur. Deux approches complémentaires ont été adoptées. La première approche consiste à utiliser un modèle biomécanique du corps afin d’extraire des descripteurs quantifiés pertinents. Un protocole permettant d’estimer l’accélération et la vitesse instantanée du centre de masse à partir de 5 centrales inertielles a ainsi été proposé à partir d’une analyse préliminaire sur les données de marche de dix personnes amputées transfémorales et a été validé chez une personne amputée transfémorale. La seconde approche consiste à extraire des paramètres concis par traitement du signal des données brutes des capteurs. La fiabilité et la pertinence clinique de la quantification de tels paramètres pour caractériser la symétrie et l’équilibre de la marche ont été étudiées pour la première fois chez les personnes amputées de membre inférieur. L’ensemble des travaux produits au cours de cette thèse contribue ainsi au transfert vers la clinique des outils embarqués d’analyse du mouvement par l’identification de paramètres biomécaniques et cliniques pertinents et la validation d’algorithmes originaux permettant la quantification de la marche des amputés de membre inférieurOne key objective during the rehabilitation of people with lower-limb amputation fitted with a prosthesis is the restoration of a physiological and energy-efficient gait pattern minimizing falling risks due to the loss of balance. Few practical tools are available to provide quantitative data to assist the follow-up of patients in the clinical routine. The development of wearable sensors offers opportunities to quantitatively and objectively describe gait in ecological situations. In this context, the aim of the thesis is to contribute to the development of wearable tools and protocols to support the functional rehabilitation of lower-limb amputees by providing clinically relevant quantitative data. Two complementary approaches have been implemented. The first approach consists in developing biomechanical models of the human body in order to retrieve biomechanically founded parameters. A protocol allowing to accurately estimate the body center of mass acceleration and instantaneous velocity has therefore been proposed based on gait data of ten people with transfemoral amputation and was validated in one person with transfemoral amputation. The second approach consists in identifying patterns in the signals measured by wearable sensors to extract concise descriptors of gait symmetry and dynamic balance. The clinical relevance and reliability of these descriptors have been investigated for the first time in people with lower-limb amputation. The work produced in the course of this thesis has contributed to the clinical transfer of wearable sensors into the clinical practice through the identification of clinically and biomechanically relevant parameters and the validation of original algorithms allowing to quantitatively describe the gait of lower-limb amputees

Full textAbstract:
Ce document rassemble les travaux effectués durant mes années de thèse. Je commence par une présentation concise des résultats principaux, puis viennent trois parties relativement indépendantes.Dans la première partie, je considère des problèmes d'inférence statistique sur un échantillon i.i.d. issu d'une loi inconnue à support dénombrable. Le premier chapitre est consacré aux propriétés de concentration du profil de l'échantillon et de la masse manquante. Il s'agit d'un travail commun avec Stéphane Boucheron et Mesrob Ohannessian. Après avoir obtenu des bornes sur les variances, nous établissons des inégalités de concentration de type Bernstein, et exhibons un vaste domaine de lois pour lesquelles le facteur de variance dans ces inégalités est tendu. Le deuxième chapitre présente un travail en cours avec Stéphane Boucheron et Elisabeth Gassiat, concernant le problème de la compression universelle adaptative d'un tel échantillon. Nous établissons des bornes sur la redondance minimax des classes enveloppes, et construisons un code quasi-adaptatif sur la collection des classes définies par une enveloppe à variation régulière. Dans la deuxième partie, je m'intéresse à des marches aléatoires sur des graphes aléatoires à degrés precrits. Je présente d'abord un résultat obtenu avec Justin Salez, établissant le phénomène de cutoff pour la marche sans rebroussement. Sous certaines hypothèses sur les degrés, nous déterminons précisément le temps de mélange, la fenêtre du cutoff, et montrons que le profil de la distance à l'équilibre converge vers la fonction de queue gaussienne. Puis je m'intéresse à la comparaison des temps de mélange de la marche simple et de la marche sans rebroussement. Enfin, la troisième partie est consacrée aux propriétés de concentration de tirages pondérés sans remise et correspond à un travail commun avec Yuval Peres et Justin SalezThis document presents the problems I have been interested in during my PhD thesis. I begin with a concise presentation of the main results, followed by three relatively independent parts. In the first part, I consider statistical inference problems on an i.i.d. sample from an unknown distribution over a countable alphabet. The first chapter is devoted to the concentration properties of the sample's profile and of the missing mass. This is a joint work with Stéphane Boucheron and Mesrob Ohannessian. After obtaining bounds on variances, we establish Bernstein-type concentration inequalities and exhibit a vast domain of sampling distributions for which the variance factor in these inequalities is tight. The second chapter presents a work in progress with Stéphane Boucheron and Elisabeth Gassiat, on the problem of universal adaptive compression over countable alphabets. We give bounds on the minimax redundancy of envelope classes, and construct a quasi-adaptive code on the collection of classes defined by a regularly varying envelope. In the second part, I consider random walks on random graphs with prescribed degrees. I first present a result obtained with Justin Salez, establishing the cutoff phenomenon for non-backtracking random walks. Under certain degree assumptions, we precisely determine the mixing time, the cutoff window, and show that the profile of the distance to equilibrium converges to the Gaussian tail function. Then I consider the problem of comparing the mixing times of the simple and non-backtracking random walks. The third part is devoted to the concentration properties of weighted sampling without replacement and corresponds to a joint work with Yuval Peres and Justin Salez

La chute est un problème de santé publique qui touche principalement les personnes âgées. Nos travaux portent sur la caractérisation des stratégies biomécaniques et cognitives impliquées dans le maintien et le rattrapage de l'équilibre et qui permettent à une personne âgée d'éviter de chuter. En particulier, nous nous sommes intéressé à une population âgée, encore autonome et en bonne santé, dans le but d'identifier les personnes à risque et de permettre une intervention le plus tôt possible. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence que, dans cette population, les tests cliniques classiques ne permettent pas de bien discriminer les « chuteurs » des « non-chuteurs » et que le problème de la chute ne réside pas que dans une déficience musculaire mais aussi cognitive et/ou sensorielle qui affecte les réponses biomécaniques de rattrapage. Les tests les plus discriminants sont identifiés et un outil d'évaluation du risque de chute, permettant d'identifier rapidement les déficiences, est proposé. Enfin, nous fournissons des informations sur les mécanismes impliqués dans les pas protectifs, une stratégie d'équilibration prévalente mais peu évaluée dans les tests cliniquesFalling is a common and concerning health problem for the elderly population. This research work focuses on the characterization of the biomechanical and cognitive strategies involved in the balance maintain and balance recovery that help elderly to avoid a fall. Particularly, we interested in a community-dwelling elderly population, in order to identify the persons who are at risk of fall and suggest a forward preventive intervention. We show, for this population, that usual clinical tests do not well discriminate between “fallers” and “non-fallers” and that the fall problem is more concerned by cognitive and/or sensorial troubles than by muscular troubles that affect biomechanical responses. The most discriminant tests are identified and a risk of fall assessment tool is suggested to give informations about the deficient mechanisms. Finally, we provide informations about the mechanisms involved in protective steps, a prevalent balance strategy which not used in balance clinical assessments

Full textAbstract:
Soziale Medien scheinen in der heutigen Zeit ein breit untersuchtes Phänomen zu sein, auch über die Verhaltensweisen innerhalb der Netwoks lassen sich eine Menge vorwiegend quantifizierender Analysen finden. Jedoch existieren kaum kultursoziologische Erklärungen über die Kalküle und Motive der Nutzer, erst recht nicht über die Wirkungen der Systemvorgaben von Facebook & Co. In dieser Diplomarbeit soll ein erster Versuch aufgezeigt werden, die Verhaltensweisen in sozialen Netzwerken zu erforschen, indem die Handlungsweisen, -zwänge und -kalküle im Social-Networking auf der Grundlage empirisch erhobener Daten untersucht werden. Dabei werden die konzeptionellen Fragestellungen an das soziale Handeln aus dem Gabentauschkonzept von Marcel Mauss heraus entwickelt. Die Untersuchung richtet sich hierbei erstens an die Motive der Nutzer, wie Beziehungen, Selbstdarstellung/Identität und Status. Zum zweiten werden die typischen Charakteristiken, die sich aus den Handlungserwartungen und Handlungsmuster ergeben, herausgestellt und anhand der Gabentauschelemente Geben, Nehmen und Erwidern untersucht. Ein dritter Aspekt bezieht sich auf die konkreten Tauschelemente, die innerhalb der Netzwerke durch einen gegenseitigen Austausch zirkulieren und als Gaben funktionieren. Schließlich werden auch die Wirkungsweisen verschiedener Systemvorgaben, wie die Kommentarfunktion oder die Funktion, ein „Gefällt mir“ zu vergeben, und welche Rolle sie für das Verhalten innerhalb der sozialen Netzwerke spielen, untersucht.:1.

E. SelbstständigkeitserklärungSocial media seem to be a widely studied phenomenon in modern times, there are also a number of predominantly quantifying analyzes of behaviors within netwoks. However, there are no cultural-sociological explanations about the calculi and motives of users, certainly not about the effects of the system specifications of Facebook & Co. In this work, therefore, a first attempt will be made to explore the behavior in social networks, by investigating the behaviors, constraints and calculi in social networking, based on empirically collected data. In the process, the conceptual questions of social action are developed out of the gift exchange concept of Marcel Mauss. First of all, the investigation is based on the users' motives, such as relationships, self-presentation / identity and status. Second, the typical characteristics that result from the action expectations and patterns of action, exposed and based on the exchange elements giving, taking and responding are examined. A third aspect refers to the concrete elements of exchange that circulate within the networks through a mutual exchange and function as gifts. Finally, the effects of various system requirements are also examined, such as the commentary function or the function of 'liking'.:1. Einführung 1.1.

Full textAbstract:
Le présent mémoire vise à étudier les pratiques, les enjeux et les modalités du don diplomatique animalier au XIIIe siècle, notamment sous le règne de Frédéric II, Henri III et Louis IX. Pour cela, on présente les concepts et les théories, sociologiques et anthropologiques, du don, particulièrement celles de Marcel Mauss. Ainsi outillé, on appréhende les particularités des cadeaux animaliers diplomatiques au XIIIe siècle. Ensuite, à l’aide d’une recherche sur les descriptions animalières des bestiaires et des encyclopédies médiévales, on montre la puissance symbolique et les particularités physiques et comportementales de la faune offerte. Enfin, à partir de la combinaison des deux premières parties, plusieurs modalités du don sont développées, parmi lesquelles les critères de choix et les préférences fauniques des rois, le contexte et les règles de la réalisation d’un présent et la circulation des animaux offerts. En outre, on souligne combien les bêtes et les oiseaux offerts ont eu une utilité. En effet, on voit que les rois ont mis en scène leurs animaux afin de s’approprier leur symbolique et d’exacerber leur prestige et leur grandeur, lors d’évènements spécifiques ou dans leurs ménageries.The main purpose of this text is to study the practices, the issues and the modalities of the animal diplomatic gift in the 13th century, especially during the reign of Frederick II, Henry III and Louis IX. The analysis is based on the presentation of the sociological and anthropological conceptualizations of the gift, particularly those of Marcel Mauss. They are used to understand the peculiarities of the animal diplomatic gift in the 13th century. Then, a research on animal descriptions of medieval bestiaries and encyclopedias is conducted to show the symbolic power and the physical and behavioral characteristics of the offered wildlife. Finally, several modalities of the donation are developed, such as the selection criteria and the wildlife preferences of the kings, the context and rules of the elaboration of a present and the movement of given animals. In addition, it is shown how the beasts and birds had a real use for the kings. Indeed, they staged their animals in order to appropriate their symbolism and show off their prestige and their greatness, at events or in the menageries.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the impacts of the tsunami of 2004 on economic development priorities in Nagapattinam, South India. By focusing on the manner in which the disaster was cast as an opportunity by the state and multilateral agencies, the unprecedented scale and ambiguous character of involvement by NGOs in reconstruction, and the distinction drawn between economic development and humanitarian aid in the constitution of a reconstruction agenda predicated on the relocation of artisanal fisher communities from the coast, this study demonstrates how post-disaster outcomes are increasingly being shaped by priorities tied to neoliberal globalization. At the same time the processes that unfold are also characterized by significant complexities particularly on account of efforts by affected populations to deploy various strategies to defend their interests, and substantive differences in the approach of NGOs.text

Full textAbstract:
Marcel Duchamp's speech "The Creative Act" and the context of its delivery at the American Federation of Arts (A.F.A.) convention in Houston, Texas, in 1957 reveal the manifold nature of American art discourse during the second half of the 1950s. In contrast to overly-simplified histories of the period which maintain that formal concerns and artist-centered criticism predominated, this paper determines that Duchamp's speech and its acknowledgment of the spectator are not unusual for 1957. Nor is Duchamp as author completely consistent with the ideas of critical "indifference" said to be present in the speech. On the contrary, the artist, his speech, and the 1957 A.F.A. convention are reflective of their complex history: of the political and economic climate of the mid 1950s, of both American and French aesthetic philosophy, of a growing popular interest in the arts, and of the growing media presence within American art discourse.

Dissertação de mestrado em Marketing e Gestão EstratégicaUm nome, um termo, um design, um símbolo ou outra característica que identifique o produto ou serviço de um vendedor do dos distintos vendedores. É deste modo que o constructo principal desta dissertação – a marca – é definido pela American Marketing Association (2007). Por sua vez, as marcas foram estudadas no âmbito da sua presença na rede social Facebook. O Facebook nasceu em fevereiro de 2004 na Universidade norte-americana de Harvard e só a partir de 2006 é que passou a estar disponível a todos aqueles que tenham 13 anos ou mais e um endereço de e-mail válido. Este estudo tem como objetivo perceber o impacto que a presença no Facebook tem para as marcas de grande consumo. Para atingir este propósito, foi desenvolvida uma análise quantitativa. Para recolha de dados foram desenvolvidos dois questionários, um para os consumidores e outro para as marcas. Grande parte das perguntas coincidia nos dois questionários, visto que o objetivo era perceber o ponto de vista dos consumidores e o das marcas em aspetos comuns. A amostra dos consumidores é constituída por 269 inquiridos e a das marcas por 42 marcas de grande consumo. Esta dissertação aborda questões, tais como os hábitos dos consumidores e das marcas no Facebook, a relação dos dois intervenientes nesta rede social, o seu nível de interação, o comportamento de compra do consumidor face às páginas das marcas no Facebook, a imagem/associações dos consumidores à marca, os aspetos de valorização dos consumidores nas páginas das marcas, a gestão da rede social por parte das marcas e questões demográficas. Todos os temas foram sempre tratados quer do ponto de vista dos consumidores quer do ponto de vista das marcas. Apesar de o estudo não indicar que exista uma relação entre a presença e utilização das páginas do Facebook pelas marcas e a intenção de compra dessas marcas pelos seus consumidores, o impacto que este fenómeno parece ter em termos de imagem de marca, é revelador da sua importância em termos de aumento das vendas e sobrevivência no espaço concorrencial para o futuro das marcas.
A name, term, design, symbol or other feature that identifies one seller’s good or service from those of the other sellers, is the way that American Marketing Association (2007) defines the main construct of this course: the brand. Brands were studied in terms of their presence in the social network Facebook. Facebook was created in February 2004 in the U.S. Harvard University. Since 2006 has become available to everyone who has 13 or more years old and a valid e-mail account. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact that mass marketing brands presence have on this social network. To achieve this purpose a quantitative analysis methodology was used. Two questionnaires were built, one for the consumers and another for the brands. Most of the questions were similar in both questionnaires, since the goal of this study was to understand both consumers and brands sides. Consumer sample comprises 269 respondents and brand sample includes 42 mass marketing brands. Thereby, this dissertation addresses questions, such as consumers and brands’ habits on Facebook, the relationship between both actors in this social network, their interaction level, consumers’ buying behavior towards brands’ pages on Facebook, consumers’ image/associations to brands, the more important features of brand pages for consumers, social networking management and demographics issues. All of the subjects were always treated from both consumers and brands’ points of view. Although the study does not indicate a significant relationship between the brand use of Facebook pages and consumer purchase intention, it seems there is an impact of Facebook presence on brand image. This result is importante concerning sales increase and brand survival in a competitive environment.
