Foram realizadas 52 entrevistas e um workshop em um período pouco superior a um ano como parte de um projeto de história dos 50 anos de uma agência de fomento. Esse material (a evidência oral) é o material primário utilizado neste presente estudo. Também foram utilizadas 17 entrevistas de um projeto de história dos 40 anos da mesma agência. O material foi lido e foram retirados trechos relacionados a um possível conceito de ciência que poderia ser abstraído dessa evidência oral. Além disso, foram estudados os conceitos de ciência de alguns autores (Donald Stokes, Fernand Braudel, Francis Bacon, Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend, Thomas Kuhn e Vannevar Bush). Esses conceitos e citações de suas obras foram apresentados (evidência escrita). Em seguida, foram apresentados aproximações e distanciamentos dessas duas evidências. Finalmente, um conceito de ciência resultante, ou o caminho percorrido pelo conceito de ciência, foi apresentado. Conceito este que se baseia primariamente na evidência oral. A possibilidade de formular um conceito de ciência não baseado somente nessa evidência, mas a utilizando primariamente, era o objetivo principal deste estudo.52 interviews and a workshop were performed in a period just over a year as part of a 50-year history project of a research funding agency. This material (the oral evidence) is the primary material used in the present study. 17 interviews of a 40-year history project of the same agency were also used. The material was read and excerpts were extracted related to a possible concept of science which could be abstracted from such oral evidence. Moreover, the concepts of science of some authors were studied (Donald Stokes, Francis Bacon, Karl Popper, Paul Feyerabend, Thomas Kuhn e Vannevar Bush). These concepts and quotations from their works were presented (written evidence). Next, similarities and dissimilarities of both evidences were presented. Finally, a resulting concept of science, or the path walked by the concept of science, was presented. Such concept is based primarily on the oral evidence. The possibility of formulating a concept of science not based only on this evidence, but using it primarily, was the main objective of this study.

Elmi, Elizabeth Grace. "Singing Lyric among Local Aristocratic Networks in the Aragonese-Ruled Kingdom of Naples| Aesthetic and Political Meaning in the Written Records of an Oral Practice." Thesis, Indiana University, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13857081.
Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation, I examine the predominantly oral practice of singing lyric poetry among members of the Neapolitan aristocracy in southern Italy during the late-fifteenth century. The tradition of singing Neapolitan lyric developed and gradually gained ascendancy in the Kingdom of Naples over the nearly sixty years of the Aragonese dynasty (1442–1501)—both in the capital city of Naples and at feudal courts throughout the Kingdom’s rural provinces. The surviving song repertory and its preservation in late-fifteenth-century musical and literary sources bear witness not only to these varied performance contexts, but also to the inherently communal aspect of the tradition as a whole.
Combining approaches in musicology, ethnomusicology, and literary theory, I question the fixity and purpose of this written repertory in preserving a fluid and dynamic oral practice that flourished as the artistic expression of a subjugated class—Neapolitan nobles and intellectuals living under Aragonese rule. The manuscript collections, historical descriptions, theoretical and literary works that preserve and transmit the records of this oral practice demonstrate how writing was used to record, recollect, recreate, and ultimately memorialize a communal practice of song-making—lending value and legitimacy to the Kingdom’s local aristocracy—during a tumultuous time in the history of southern Italy. Some copies, perhaps preserved on less durable media, have likely been lost while others preserve traces of orality with varying levels of fixity and transformation. How and why these records were created and preserved is the central question that this study seeks to answer.

Full textAbstract:
L'historiographie du Burundi est le fruit d'une confrontation entre deux cultures, celle de l'oral et celle de l'écrit. D'un côté, les Burundais ont développé un mode de connaissance du passé centré autour de traditions et de légendes mettant en scène la royauté et la société. De l'autre, les Européens, missionnaires et colonisateurs, se sont inspirés de ce matériau local pour écrire une histoire du Burundi, au service de leurs projets et largement imprégnée d'idéologies raciales. L'institutionnalisation de l'ethnie avec la colonisation et les discriminations qui en découlent ont remis en question l'équilibre de la communauté nationale, au point que le pays souffre depuis son indépendance de violences extrêmes et endémiques. L'immense entreprise méthodologique initiée par les scientifiques à partir des années 1960 a ouvert la voie à une connaissance renouvelée du passé du Burundi. Pour autant, les théories raciales construites dans le sillage de la colonisation font partie du discours général sur ce pays, et alimentent les postures partisanes des hommes de pouvoir et d'une partie de la population. Le passé est ainsi appelé pour justifier les massacres et absoudre les vengeances. L'ethnie est devenue un prétexte et un outil de captation du pouvoir. Dans ce contexte, les mémoires s'affrontent et s'enferment, hésitent entre revendication et résignation. L 'écriture de l'histoire est pourtant l'occasion de débats et de questionnements qui s'appuient sur les mémoires pour consigner le passé tel qu'il est. L'enjeu des historiens du Burundi est désormais de parvenir à conjuguer les exigences scientifiques qu'impose leur métier avec le sondage de mémoires multiples.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, I expand the scope of the scholarship that Walter Ong and others have done in orality-literacy relations to examine the often uneasy juxtaposition of the oral and written traditions in the literature of the Victorian pulpit. I begin by examining the intersections of the oral and written traditions found in both the theory and the practice of Victorian preaching. I discuss the prominent place of the sermon within both the print and oral cultures of Victorian Britain; argue that the sermon's status as both oration and essay places it in the genre of "oral literature"; and analyze the debate over the extent to which writing should be employed in the preparation and delivery of sermons.

In the realization this research, I basically use two sources types: oral and written, that is, bibliographic research and field research, treated here as semi-structured interview. The intention is document these memories of the characters who helped in the formation (colonization) of the Portão do Ocoí District – Missal/PR, that even in the middle of the land tenure conflicts, caused the construction of the Church/School, which marks the creation and subsequent transition as Public institution, exploring the senses of space in four verbs: occupy, name, live and work. As it deals with research on memory history of local education, it was considered what already exists that is the didactic book, used as official source of the memory of the origin and plots of local education. Next to this official source, were recorded memories by oral history. We sought to understand and bring to writing the density of these memories and their conflicts at the same time demonstrate how they are articulated with the history education in Missal City and what the relationship of the school in the process of territorial occupation in the Portão do Ocoí, Territory of the municipality of Missal/ Paraná. I chose to research from the formation of the District in 1961 until 2017, since there are still many living inhabitants who helped in the formation of these communities and who are still part of it, thus helping to insert significant and new elements in the formation history of our municipality, in this case in the history of education
Na realização desta pesquisa foi utilizada dois tipos de fontes: orais e escritas, ou seja, realização de uma pesquisa bibliográfica juntamente com uma pesquisa de campo, ambas tratadas como entrevista semiestruturada, com o intuito de documentar as memórias dos personagens que auxiliaram na formação do Distrito do Portão do Ocoí, que, mesmo em meio aos conflitos da posse da terra, fizeram com que ocorresse a construção da Igreja/escola, edificação que marca a criação e a posterior transição como instituição pública, explorando os sentidos do espaço em quatro verbos: ocupar, nomear, morar e trabalhar. Considerou-se o que já existe que é o livro didático utilizado como fonte oficial da memória da origem e das tramas do ensino local. Ao lado dessa fonte oficial, foram expostas memórias registradas pela história oral. Buscou-se compreender e trazer para a escrita à densidade dessas memórias e seus conflitos e, ao mesmo tempo, demonstrar como elas se articulam com a história da educação no município de Missal e qual é a relação da escola no processo de ocupação territorial no Portão do Ocoí, território do município de Missal/Paraná. A opção foi pesquisar desde a formação do distrito administrativo em 1961 até 2017, pois ainda são muitos os moradores vivos que auxiliaram na formação dessas comunidades e que ainda dela fazem parte, auxiliando assim, para inserir significantes e novos elementos na história de formação do nosso município, no caso, na história da educação.

Full textAbstract:
Après l’invention de l’impression typographique à la Renaissance s’est progressivement imposé un régime de connaissance dans lequel les signes n’ont plus de rapport essentiel avec un monde reconstitué spatialement au moyen des mots sur la page. L’âge classique en général et le XVIIIe siècle en particulier ont souvent été caractérisés par le primat de la vue comme moyen de connaissance, aux dépens des autres sens. C’est du moins une des thèses de Michel Foucault dans Les Mots et les choses.Notre thèse tente de nuancer cette perspective en montrant comment, au sein de la culture écrite dominante, persistent de vestiges de la culture orale traditionnelle ; non pas dans les manifestations plus ou moins archaïques de la culture populaire (farces, fêtes, foires, contes bleus), mais dans ce qui pourrait sembler une manifestation de la modernité même des Lumières : les machines. Le XVIIIe siècle a été fertile en dispositifs visant à produire des sons ou des images, et à les enregistrer. Parmi ceux-ci, nous avons particulièrement retenu les inventions, réelles ou imaginaires, de Tiphaigne de La Roche (surveillance auditive et fixation des images), de Diderot (composition automatique et conservation des pièces musicales), de l’abbé Mical (reproduction de la voix humaine) et du père Castel (enregistrement visuel des sons). En étudiant tant le détail de ces dispositifs que le contexte idéologique qui les a vu naître, nous essayons de montrer comment les Lumières ont été ouvertes à des formes variées d’appréhension du monde. Aujourd’hui, le développement de nouveaux moyens de communication nous familiarise à nouveau avec des modes de représentation plus analogiques que l’écriture. Les tensions propres au régime médiatique du XVIIIe siècle nous donnent des indices pour réfléchir aux problèmes actuels de la connaissanceAfter the invention of the printing press in the Renaissance, knowledge became progressively based on the use of signs with no essential relation with things, spatially reconstructed with words on the page. The classical age in general and the eighteenth century in particular have often been characterized by the primacy of sight as a means of knowledge, at the expense of other senses. Such is at least one of Michel Foucault’s arguments in the Order of Things.Our thesis strives to qualify this perspective and show how, within the domination of the written culture, remnants of the traditional oral culture survived. Not only in the archaic forms of popular entertainment such as fairs, farces and fairy tales, but in what might be considered as the epitome of modernity: machines. The eighteenth century was a hot bed of contraptions aiming to produce sounds and images and to record them. Among these, our attention has focused on the real or imaginary inventions of Tiphaigne de La Roche (audio monitoring and fixation of images) Diderot (automatic production and conservation of musical pieces), Abbé Mical (reproduction of the human voice) and Father Castel (visual transposition of sounds). The careful examination of such machines as well as the ideological context of their emergence, enables us to show how the Enlightenment was open to forms of comprehension of the world much more varied than is often stated.Today the development of new media has made us familiar again with modes of representation which are more analogical than words. The tensions proper to the media system of the eighteenth century provide us with instruments to think about our relation to the world around us

Full textAbstract:
This study addressed four questions about first graders' oral and written retellings. First, how did their retellings change over the period of one school year? Second, how did their own written and oral retellings of the same text compare and contrast? Third, did written retellings influence oral retellings? Fourth, did oral retellings influence written retellings? The retellings were scored using a holistic measure. Twelve students in the same first grade classroom participated in this study. The students were ranked based on teacher observation and were placed in experimental groups. The groups contained a heterogeneous mix of students, and were similar to each other. The first graders' oral and written retellings improved over the school year. Their oral retellings consistently scored higher than their written retellings. However, the evidence from this study does not indicate an influence of either written retellings on oral retellings or oral retellings on written retellings.

O presente estudo examina as versões orais e escritas de narrativas pessoais produzidas em inglês por dois grupos de falantes não-nativos em dois níveis diferentes de proficiência, à luz de investigações anteriores do contraste oral/escrito em língua nativa. O objeto principal da análise são as dimensões 'integração x fragmentação' e 'envolvimento x distanciamento' propostas por Chafe (1982) como diferenciadoras da fala e da escrita. O atual contexto de teorias e pesquisas do uso da segunda língua é também levado em conta no que diz respeito à interação 'automatismo - controle". O que resulta das conclusões da análise é uma caracterização da interlíngua do aprendiz pré-intermediário de inglês como língua estrangeira em termos da distinção oral/escrito.

In earlier times An'ani'nin lived together and in the winter months retold oral histories and stories, especially those which they wanted to impress upon the people as important to remember. Children were taught lessons through oral history. The youth also participated in ceremonies, learned the songs, lived as the Ah'ani'nin taught them and were told the importance of the way of the life of the An'ani'nin. This is how they kept a record of their ceremonies, cutlure, their kinship relations, their economy and governance. By practice and re-telling the history their culture was maintained. Stories were told as women worked, and in the evening when men were off hunting or at social or religious gatherings. In this thesis, I have collected stories about the Ah'ani'nin, stories of legends, history, the trickster stories and discussed how these stories in the past helped the Ah'ani'nin and how they can help the people today.

Full textAbstract:
Prior to writing our thesis, a course at the Royal institute of technology allowed alternative methods to present our knowledge. We decided to create a podcast. During the process of creating the podcast we started discussing how the examiner would assess this compared to our peers creating written solutions. This resulted in three questions that later became our research questions: How does written versus podcast affect the grading from teachers and teacher students? What parameters should be considered when creating a task for written and podcast? What is the general view among teachers for using pupil-generated podcasts? To answer these questions, we created an experiment and a survey. The experiment aimed to answer the first two questions and gave us the following results: by only altering the format between podcast and written, our participants assessing the podcast were more keen to give forward and comprehensive feedback, while our participants assessing written focused more on what was missing and commented on small details. The second research question was answered by analyzing the task we created for our experiment. We found that source integration is needed to reduce confusion. The survey implies that no teachers were against using pupil-generated podcasts but STEM teachers were more picky on how and when it can be implemented. We hope that this thesis inspires further research in the relatively new area of pupil/student-generated podcasts.Innan vi skrev vårt examensarbete tillät en kurs vid Kungliga tekniska högskolan alternativa metoder för att presentera vår kunskap. Vi bestämde oss för att skapa en podcast. Under processen med att skapa podcasten började vi diskutera hur examinatorn skulle bedöma detta jämfört med våra kurskamrater som skapade skriftliga lösningar. Detta resulterade i tre frågor som senare blev våra forskningsfrågor: Hur påverkar skriftligt kontra podcast bedömningen från lärare och lärarstudenter? Hur kan en uppgift skapas för att fungera för både podcast och skriftlig bedömning? Vad är den allmänna uppfattningen bland lärare kring att använda elevgenererade podcasts? För att svara på dessa frågor skapade vi ett experiment och en enkät. Experimentet ämnade till att svara på de två första frågorna och gav oss följande resultat: genom att bara ändra formatet mellan podcast och skrift, hade våra deltagare som bedömde podcasten mer fokuspå att ge forward feedback och mer övergripande feedback, medan våra deltagare som bedömde skriftligt fokuserade mer på vad som saknades och kommenterade på smådetaljer. Den andra forskningsfrågan besvarades genom att analysera den uppgift vi skapade för vårt experiment. Vi fann att ett bättre arbetssätt gällande källor behövs för att minska förvirring. Enkäten antyder att inga lärare var emot att använda elevers genererade podcasts menSTEM-lärare var mer kräsna på hur och när det kan implementeras. Vi hoppas att detta examensarbete inspirerar till ytterligare forskning inom det relativt nya området: elev- och studentgenererade podcasts.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this investigation was to find out how students react to and make use of oral and written feedback given to them in class. Another aim was to find out if they preferred one form over the other and whether they make more use of that form. The investigation was conducted at a Swedish upper secondary school and consisted of a questionnaire survey and interviews with groups of students and with their teachers. The interviews with the students focused on clarifying some of the results from the questionnaire. The teacher interviews gave the teachers a chance to give their version of what they thought worked better and why they chose to work that way.
The results showed that students welcome feedback, especially positive feedback used for encouragement. However, they also thought that there was a higher limit to the amount of feedback they could benefit from. Too much of one sort could be ignored or perceived as discouraging. The feedback mostly used in class was oral feedback. This was also what the students thought they benefited from the most since it invited to discussion about their work. Most of the students thought the feedback should be delivered in private because it could be embarrassing to receive feedback in front of their peers. Nevertheless, feedback on pronunciation and smaller errors that could be of use for their peers as well was acceptable in front of the class.

Full textAbstract:
In this study 538 children composed 1 oral and 1 written fictional story in both 2nd and 4th grades. Each child represented 1 of 4 diagnostic groups: typical language (TL), specific language impairment (SLI), nonspecific language impairment (NLI), or low nonverbal IQ (LNIQ). The stories of the TL group had more different words, more grammatical complexity, fewer errors, and more overall quality than either language-impaired group at either grade. Stories of the SLI and LNIQ groups were consistently stronger than were those of the NLI group. Kindergarten children with language impairment (LI) whose standardized test performance suggested normalization by 2nd grade also appeared to have recovered in storytelling abilities at that point. By 4th grade, however, these children's stories were less like the children with TL and more like those of children with persistent LI than they had been in 2nd grade. Oral stories were better than written stories in both grades, although the greatest gains from 2nd to 4th grade were generally made on written stories. Girls told stronger stories than did boys at both grades, regardless of group placement. It is concluded that story composition tasks are educationally relevant and should play a significant role in the evaluation of children with developmental LI.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, symbol comprehension is tested using open-ended, written responses. However, responses are often so brief that they may fail to indicate a participant?s true understanding of some symbols. In the present study, several test methods were compared to the standard written method to determine if they produce better symbol comprehension performance. The four alternative methods included: written test with probe questioning after all responses were provided, oral test without probe questioning, oral test with probe questioning after responses for all symbols were provided, and oral test with probe questioning after each partially correct or incorrect response. The probe or follow-up questioning technique is taken from the cognitive interview procedure used in eyewitness identification research to elicit more detailed responses. Participants reported their interpretations of 31 safety symbols in one of the five test method conditions. Results showed that the test methods that included follow-up questioning elicited more information from participants, and increased comprehension rates in both oral and written test formats. The results have implications for cost-effective symbol design and evaluation

This thesis presents a new approach and a new interface to let children practice written literacy skills using oral language. Specifically, I argue that language composition is learned by practicing a set of cognitive skills that are independent of the medium in which the linguistic meaning is represented. Furthermore, I claim that tangible, technology-enhanced toys with specific features can support the development of these skills through open-ended language play. To investigate this claim, I developed a new model of composition, called the TellTale Composition Model, to address aspects of both oral and written language. This model supports the following features of children's language play: voice; structure; reference; reflection and revision; and sharing and discussion. A new toy, called TellTale, was built to support this composition model. Three studies were conducted to evaluate both its usability and the model's validity. The findings indicate that a toy that lets children create, segment, organize and link oral language through play with a tangible toy in a social setting helps them practice important cognitive skills crucial for later literacy. Preliminary data also suggest that such a toy can help identify children's language learning disabilities and the linguistic strategies used by children of different socio-economic strata. Both TellTale and the composition model on which its design was based suggest several new ways digital media can let children become engaged and skillful authors.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: pages 105-113.This study is a description, from the vantage point of a participant observer, of the development of a new, and probably unique, method of writing, teaching and learning about an oral tradition - a method which is grounded in ways of knowing, thinking and learning inherent in that tradition. It arose in the course of a co-operative venture - between two lecturers in African Religion and myself - to write a text for South African schools on African Religion (sometimes called African Traditional Religion). Wanting to be true to our subject within the obvious constraints, we endeavoured to write within an oral mode. The product, African Religion and Culture, Alive!, is a transcript of taped oral interchanges between the three authors within a simulated, dramatised format. The simulation provided the context for using the teaching and learning strategies employed in an oral tradition, but within a Western institution. We hoped in this way to mirror and mediate a situation in which many South African students find themselves: at the interface between a home underpinned by an oral tradition, and a school underpinned by a written tradition. In the book, knowledge is presented through myth, biographical and autobiographical stories, discussion, question, and comment. The choice of this mode of knowledge-presentation has been greatly influenced by the work of Karen McCarthy Brown. A further important requirement for us was to produce a text that would be acceptable to all the particular varieties of African religious practice. This need was met in a way that became the most important aspect of the method - the device of setting, as a core part of the work for students, a primary research component. Students are required to seek out traditional elders within their community and learn from them, as authorities on African religion and culture, the details of particular practice. This is a way of decentering the locus of control of knowledge and education, as well as of restoring respect for African Religion and preserving information in danger of being lost. The primary research component highlights fundamental issues relating to the 'ownership' of religion, knowledge, power, reality which are explored in the study. Also considered are the implications of writing about an oral mode while trying to preserve as much of the character of that mode - writing by means of speaking. Text as a metaphor provides a frame for examining the process and the product - in terms of text as document, as score, as performance, as intertextual event, and as monument and site of struggle. Suggestions are made for further research, both on the particular method of text-production under consideration, and also on the approach to teaching and learning about African Religion. Also considered is the relevance of this particular learning and teaching approach to the values inherent in the proposed new curriculum for education in South Africa.

In this thesis, I explore the life of Professor Lin Tongqi, a well-known scholar of American Chinese studies, by using an oral history methodology. This oral history is named "Suffering and Thinking," and my goal is to illustrate how a thoughtful soul developed. His life is a trajectory in which Western and Eastern cultures are integrated, a life that is full of confusions and reliefs, challenges and responses, twists and turns, and unexpected insights and transcendences. This oral history also illustrates in a microcosm the fate of intellectuals who lived during the approximately 100-hundred-year tumult and transformation that resulted in modern-day China. Looking back is one way to consider the future. A conversation with Lin Tongqi on Ancient Chinese thoughts follows, which touches on several factors: the dynamics of understanding the Chinese culture, comparative methods of culture study, the relationships between eternal issues and contemporary issues, as well as a brief discussion on the issues facing contemporary China, and the future of Chinese society.

Seventeenth-century division violin music is not considered part of the classical
canon, but its background as a European art form may make it seem “too Western” for
traditional ethnomusicological study. The purpose of this thesis is twofold: first, I outline
the historical context, transmission, and performance practice of division violin playing in
England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Also of interest to me is the way in
which we, as musicologists, study oral tradition within the context of a musical culture that
no longer exists today. After an exploration of the ideas of Milman Parry and Albert Lord,
Walter Ong, Ruth Finnegan, and Slavica Ranković, I discuss the English division violin’s
background and transition from a largely oral to a predominantly literate tradition. I
demonstrate this change in transmission, composition, and performance practices through
examining the second and sixth editions of John Playford’s The Division Violin (1684).

This creative project resulted in five metal handbags, each based on a specific period from art history: Egyptian, Classical, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Memphis. These styles range from early human history to contemporary times and possess very explicit and identifiable motifs. They maintain links to each other and impact design to this day.The project culminates in an exhibit. A brief description of the relevant era is printed on attached tags to generate mini art history lessons. People who see or use the handbags will gain exposure to art history they may not otherwise seek out, potentially piquing their curiosity. The aim is to sell all five handbags so they may demonstrate that art history is a vital part of human history because it continues to inform and inspire a spectrum of endeavors from advertising and fashion to engineering and design.Department of Art

Full textAbstract:
The oral transmission of history dates back to the Greeks as does the history of the subject of oral interpretation of literature. In the twentieth century the deliberate collection of oral histories has become popular as an adjunct to written documents. With the assumption that oral history can add to written documents in any field, this dissertation tests the tool of oral history as a means of contributing to the history of the field of oral interpretation of literature. The research consists of four formally collected oral histories with prominent, retired, and long-time teachers of oral interpretation of literature in universities. Interviewed were Dr. Alethea Mattingly, professor of speech on the faculty of the University of Arizona until 1974; Dr. Isabel Crouch, Professor at New Mexico State University until 1986; Dr. Charlotte Lee, Professor at Northwestern University until 1974; Dr. Wallace A. Bacon, Professor and head of the department of interpretation at Northwestern University until 1979. The review of literature was drawn from the history of oral interpretation of literature, the history of the use of oral history, and the current material on oral history methodology as well as discussion on the uses and products of oral history work in other fields. A description of the arrangements made for and used in the actual interviews is included with observations on the transcription and the transactional nature of the interviews. An evaluation of the range and kinds of information derived from examination of these collected oral history transcripts is made in the final chapter for findings and conclusions. Information of corroboration and new information from the interviews did add to written histories in oral interpretation. Conclusions point to facts and ideas a historian might find of use, particularly future biographical studies. Suggestion is made that students with interviewing skills be encouraged to continue collection of oral histories to add to the storehouse of data for primary resource material. Oral history also proves to be a fine source for the rich portrayal of a human personality. As well as collecting data, oral history proves to be a unique and irreplaceable document.

Full textAbstract:
Comment les traditions orales kanak pourraient-elles agir au-delà de leurs frontières habituelles et influencer les processus de construction identitaire dans la société néo-calédonienne contemporaine ? Notre travail explore les interactions entre la tradition orale kanak et la tradition écrite néocalédonienne, en examinant les textes de réécriture, ces lieux de rencontre entre traditions qui constituent un espace de patrimoine commun. Cette thèse retrace les chemins d’une histoire, Le Chef et le lézard (dont on trouve de multiples versions dans les différentes traditions orales kanak), dans la tradition écrite. Sont élucidés les contextes historiques, politiques et littéraires des processus de production de versions de l’histoire, afin de mettre en évidence les forces en oeuvre, et d’éclairer la manière dont les représentations qui y figurent pourraient participer aux processus de construction identitaire. Les outils conceptuels employés sont la « réécriture », la « vā » (l’espace relationnel océanien d’échange et de rencontre),ainsi que la littérature comme « outil de renforcement communautaire ». La contribution originale qu'apporte notre travail consiste en démontrant le degré et l’étendue de l’intégration d'une histoire kanak dans le polysystème littéraire néo-calédonien ; en soulignant le rôle actif joué par des acteurs kanak dans les processus de réécriture ; en créant une métaphore étendue géographique du paysage littéraire néo-calédonien ; en témoignant de la richesse des traditions orales et écrites de Kanaky/Nouvelle-Calédonie ; et en constituant une passerelle entre les chercheurs/lecteurs non-francophones et la littérature néo-calédonienneHow might Kanak oral traditions move beyond their usual boundaries and influence identity construction processes in contemporary New Caledonian society? This thesis explores the interactions between Kanak oral tradition and New Caledonian written tradition, by examining the (re)writings that are places of encounter between these traditions, and thus constitute a space of shared heritage. This study traces the pathways taken by a story, Le Chef et le lézard, (a number of versions of which are found in different Kanak oral traditions), as it moves into and within written tradition. The historical, political, and literary contexts of the (re)writing processes that produce versions of Le Chef et le lézard are elucidated, to demonstrate the forces at work and shed light on how the representations that figure in the (re)writings might participate in identity construction processes. The conceptual tools used in the study include: rewriting; vā (the relational space of exchange and encounter found throughout Oceania); and literature as a means of building community. The original contribution of this thesis has been to demonstrate the degree and the extent of the integration of a Kanak story into the New Caledonian literary polysystem; to highlight the active role played by Kanak actors in the rewriting process; to develop anextended geographic metaphor for the New Caledonian literary landscape; to bear witness to the richness of oral and written traditions in Kanaky/Nouvelle-Calédonie; and to create a bridge between non-Francophone researchers/readers and New Caledonian literature (oral and written)

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse interroge les origines, les interférences et la production de la littérature comorienne d’expression française. Au confluent entre critique littéraire, historiographie anthropologique des sources et analyse des thématiques dans la création, elle questionne aussi la notion de réception dans un contexte éditorial minimaliste et où langue d’écriture et langue vernaculaire s’interfèrent. En près de 30 ans, les quelques 160 ouvrages publiés de 1985 à nos jours, laissent percer des débuts lents et difficiles. Une réalité qui sera contredite à la fin des années 90 où des maisons d’éditions, même éphémères, naissent avec pour mot d’ordre, promouvoir la littérature comorienne. Va alors s’amorcer une dynamique nouvelle inscrite par le nombre et la variété des genres édités, la multiplicité des thématiques abordées et par l’orientation des revendications littéraires d’ordre esthétique en écho à des revendications identitaires. Parallèlement, transparaît une forme de tâtonnement textuel qui laisse apparaître une dualité narrative sous-tendue dans l’organisation fictionnelle et narratologique des œuvres et mettant en place un type de personnage-pensée à l’origine d’une hybridité textuelle. Par conséquent, cette thèse procède à une forme de bilan de ces trente années d’écriture suivant deux axes d’analyse. Un axe chronologique qui fait coïncider des éléments liés à l’histoire du peuplement avec l’établissement d’une écriture pour les îles afin d’appréhender le contexte originel de production ; un axe analytique et herméneutique recoupant faits historiques et sociaux en rapport avec les objets ou motifs de production et révélant la source des interrogations des écrivains comoriens francophonesThis thesis questions the origins, interferences and the production of French-speaking Comorian literature. At the junction of literary criticism, anthropologic historiography of the source documents and thematic analysis within the creation, it also investigates the notion of reception in a minimalist editorial context where the written and the vernacular languages interfere with each other. For the past 30 years, the 160 publications that have been published, since 1985 to date, have shown slow and difficult beginnings. A trend that would be reversed from the late 1990s, where many publishing houses have emerged, even if it was quite briefly for some of them, with a shared goal: to promote Comorian literature. A new trend will then begin as proven by the number and variety of genres being published, the diversity of the themes discussed, and the direction of the literary assertions of an aesthetic angle in response to identity assertions. At the same time, a form of textual hesitation transpired, shedding a light on a narrative duality, from a narratologic and fictional organisation of the publications, highlighting a type of character-thought creating a form of literal hybridity. Therefore, As a consequence, this thesis proceeds a kind of statement from thirty years of writing according to two axis of analysis. A chronological axis matches elements which are linked to the peopling History with the establishment of a writing for the islands in order to grasp the original context of production; an analytic and hermeneutic axis matching historical and social facts related to subjects or sources of production and revealing the sources of French-speaking Comorian writers’ questionings

Full textAbstract:
When teaching English as a foreign language (EFL), teachers use feedback in order to help students to improve their English skills. They can use both oral and written feedback to encourage students to make progress. Oral and written feedback play a significant role in second language acquisition, and this study could raise teachers' awareness of the different feedback strategies that can be employed in EFL classrooms. This could benefit their teaching performance and students’ learning. This study aims to examine the different types of oral and written feedback used in the EFL classroom, as well as teachers’ own perceptions of feedback. The approach used to conduct this study was both quantitative and qualitative. Three types of data material were collected in a secondary school (grades 7-9) for the analysis: three secondary school teachers were interviewed; their English lessons were observed; and their feedback on student essays was collected. The material collected was used in the analysis, which indicated that the teachers used different types of feedback. The most frequent oral feedback types used were recast, elicitation, and praise. However, the teachers employed different strategies regarding to how they provide this feedback. Two of the teachers provided feedback in the traditional way by using corrective types of feedback frequently, while one teacher chose not to correct students too often and instead encouraged them by giving them praise. The evaluation of different feedback types performed in this study suggests that recast as an implicit feedback type provided orally could be more effective in a communicative classroom setting, as it does not interrupt the communicative flow. In writing, on the other hand, explicit feedback combined with face-to-face sessions could lead to better results. It would be interesting to investigate in further research the effects of different oral and written feedback types.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the earliest extended collections of recipes preserved in Greek, the recipes of the so-called Hippocratic Corpus (late fifth or early century BC). I study the ways and formats in which pharmacological knowledge was transmitted in classical Greece. The compilers of the Hippocratic collections of recipes drew on a variety of sources, written and oral, including small catalogues of recipes comparable to those found on papyri from Hellenistic Egypt. Much pharmacological knowledge may have been transmitted orally from generation to generation before assuming written form in medical treatises. But following the social anthropologist Jack Goody, I distinguish between the medical knowledge the recipes reflect and the written form in which they have been transmitted. I also assess the socio-economic context in which the recipes were produced and used. Some Hippocratic recipes fall into a tradition of home remedies, but many other recipes include exotic and luxury ingredients affordable only to the rich. These luxury ingredients transformed traditional medicine into 'Haute Medecine. The compilers of Hippocratic collections of recipes were biased in their choices of ingredients, and this bias was in line with the orientalizing tendencies discernible in ancient Greek culture. The intended readers of the catalogues of recipes were not pharmacological novices. Knowledge of the ingredients is a prerequisite to the reading of these recipes, quantities are often left to the discretion of the reader, and utensils involved in the preparation of the remedies are rarely mentioned. Finally, I examine the significance of the name 'Hippocrates' for the transmission of the 'Hippocratic' recipes in later antiquity. As 'Hippocratic', they were glossed and quoted in the works of later medical authors. However, their success was not always linked to the name 'Hippocrates' late antique Latin translations of the gynaecological recipes were transmitted anonymously.

Full textAbstract:
Millions of custodial suspects waive their rights each year without the benefit of legal counsel. The question posed to psychologists in disputed Miranda waivers is whether this waiver decision was, knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Mental health professionals must be aware of potential barriers to Miranda comprehension to provide expert opinions regarding a defendant's competency to waive rights. The current study examined how Miranda warning reading level, length, and method of administration affects Miranda comprehension. Recently arrested detainees at Grayson County Jail were administered oral and written Miranda warnings from the Miranda Statements Scale (MSS; Rogers, 2005) to measure their comprehension of the warnings. Surprisingly low levels of Miranda comprehension were found for most warnings. For all warnings at or above 8th grade, a substantial minority (27.1% - 39.6%) of defendants exhibited failed (i.e., < 50% understanding) Miranda comprehension. Regardless of other variables, oral administrations resulted in a substantially larger number of defendants with failed Miranda comprehension. Implications for public policy and clinical practice are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is based on seventeen oral history life story interviews with key members of a variety of food activist movements in Britain. A collaborative project with the British Library, the recorded interviews subsequently comprised a public archive on food activism in the oral history collections. The food activist movements cover a wide range of issues, from fair trade, animal welfare and anti-GM, to organic agriculture, community urban farms, nutrition, public health and waste. Through the oral history method, a number of themes relating to food activism are explored. These include, the relationship between food, politics and identity; the dynamics of motivation and emotions, such as optimism and positivity, in activism; the role of image, both personal and organisational, in furthering the cause; and the tensions between alternative and mainstream approaches to food systems change. The thesis contributes to literatures in food geographies, food activism and policy, social movements and oral history life story.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of a multi-tiered oral narrative language intervention on kindergarteners’ oral and written narrative and oral expository skills. The participants included 686 kindergarten students from four school districts in the upper Midwest. They were randomly assigned at the classroom level to a treatment or control condition. The treatment group received large group (tier-1) oral narrative language instruction led by classroom teachers and followed the Story Champs procedures. Students whose oral narrative retell skills did not improve after one month of large group instruction were placed in small groups and received more intense oral narrative language instruction in addition to Tier 1 instruction. Tier 2 instruction followed the Story Champs small groups producers and was administered by speech-language pathologists. At posttest, students’ narrative retell, personal story generation, narrative writing, and expository retell scores were analyzed. The treatment and control groups were compared across all measures. The Tier 2 treatment group was also compared across all measures to matched samples of at-risk, average, and advanced students in the control group. The results indicate that the treatment group made significant improvements across all measures when compared to the control group. Tier 2 students consistently performed similarly to or significantly outperformed their at-risk, average, and advanced peers across all measures with the exception of expository retell. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multi-tiered oral narrative language intervention in improving the narrative and expository language skills of kindergarten students. Future research is needed to determine the effects of implementing an explicit expository oral language intervention on kindergarten students’ language skills.

Full textAbstract:
The written was the world of early medieval Iberia. Literacy was limited, but textuality was extensive, in the authority conferred on text and the arrangements made to use it. Roman inheritance is manifest, in documentary and legal culture, engendering literate expectations which define the period; continuity across conquest by Visigoths and Arabs, and the weakness of states in the north of the Peninsula, must lay to rest the traditional coupling of literacy with politics which underlies the paradigm of the Middle Ages. Between the eighth and eleventh centuries, as estates expanded to surmount locality and enter communities which had made do with memory, engagement with documentation was incentivized for the laity. Organization to do so followed, at one remove: the person of the scribe, who wrote the charter and recorded all those involved in and present at it, before recycling the text back into the community by public reading. The scribe mediated the text, and as his occupation consolidated he became more fully a literate interpreter. The charter, once created, had an active afterlife of dynamic circulation, enabled by multiple and accessible archives, particularly in the hands of the clergy. Written evidence was the surest defence in case of dispute; charters were self-promoting in their mutual citation as well as practical efficacy. But they also diffused legal knowledge: as each rhetorical, pragmatic, silent, and legislative reference to written law was read aloud by the scribe, how to capitalize on its provisions became better known, so kings and counts seized the potential. For the clergy, the Bible, canon law, and monastic rules were the texts which bestowed identity, but as they interacted with the laity, they set the charter in the history of salvation, and modelled textuality to society, as their monasteries became the microcosms of its written framework.

This paper discusses the Romaji Movement and its role in the reform of the Japanese written language during the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-1952). Past analyses concerning the Romaji Movement have suggested that romanization failed due to conspiracies against it and have neglected to consider other alternatives being pursued by the Japanese government. This paper will take a closer look at the Americans who supported romanization, their motivations for doing so, and the development of SCAP policy towards language reform. Since simplification, not romanization, was the preferred objective of both the American and the Japanese governments, this paper goes on to examine alternative methods to simplification which, in the end, proved to be highly successful.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigates the impact of two different consecutive learning contexts, formal instruction (FI) at home and a 3-month stay abroad (SA), on second language (L2) vocabulary acquisition in oral and written production. Data were obtained from a group of 30 Catalan/Spanish advanced learners of English before and after each learning period by means of an oral interview and a written composition. These samples were analyzed in terms of quantitative lexical proficiency measures in the domains of fluency, density, diversity, sophistication and accuracy, and through qualitative native-like selections. Baseline data from 29 native speakers of English, elicited through the same tasks, were also used for comparison purposes. Results reveal that SA is particularly beneficial for written productive vocabulary, and less so for oral, and that progress occurs especially in lexical fluency and diversity. FI, in contrast, shows a modest effect on the improvement of oral productive vocabulary and affects namely lexical sophistication. Furthermore, initial level of vocabulary knowledge is found to be a significant predictor of gains.Aquest estudi investiga l'impacte de dos contextos d'aprenentatge consecutius diferents, el de la instrucció formal al país d'origen i l'estada de 3 mesos a l'estranger, en l'adquisició de vocabulari de la segona llengua (L2) a la producció oral i escrita. Les dades s'han obtingut d'un grup de 30 estudiants bilingües català/castellà aprenents avançats d'anglès, abans i després de cada període d'aprenentatge mitjançant una entrevista oral i una redacció escrita. Aquestes mostres s'han analitzat amb mesures quatitatives de proficiència lèxica en les àrees de fluïdesa, densitat, diversitat, sofisticació i correcció, i també a través d'una anàlisi qualitativa de la idiomaticitat en la L2. Igualment, s'han recollit dades de 29 nadius d'anglès a efectes comparatius. Els resultats revelen que l'estada a l'estranger té un efecte de millora en el desenvolupament del vocabulari productiu escrit, però no tant en el vocabulari productiu oral, i afecta sobretot la fluïdesxa i diversitat lèxiques. El període d'instrucció formal, al contrari, té un efecte moderat en la millora de vocabulari productiu oral i és més notable en la sofisticació lèxica. També es troba que el nivell inicial de competència lèxica explica en gran part els guanys obtinguts.
