Full textAbstract:
This research has focussed on the development of a commercial business model (CBM) for providing tourism and support service based commercial activities in Victoria's national parks which also allowed for the protection of the parks natural values. National parks are vital if we as a nation are to retain our natural heritage - but the public sector land stewards of these important assets are facing increasing funding and user pressures. The result is a growing focus on the commercialisation of our national parks to provide services and generate the revenue required to maintain these assets. However, this has resulted in the exacerbation of a long existing conflict - these commercial operators are primarily focus on the achievement of a commercial return, while the land stewards' main responsibility is in the protection of the natural values of these assets. In completing this project an abductive research approach (using grounded theory) has been adopted. Specifically, the research activities undertaken included data collection via a number of techniques including stakeholder interviews, detailed examination of existing commercial arrangements, literature research on international approaches and models, development of a suggested commercial business model based on a synthesise of the research outcomes and, finally, obtaining user feedback. The use of the various data sources, and subsequent sourcing of user feedback facilitated the triangulation of the research results. The findings from this research challenge a number of the practices currently adopted in the structuring of commercial activities suggesting that these practices are inhibiting the quality of the service being provided to the national park visitor along with the level of protection being afforded to the parks natural values. The resulting CBM provides park managers with a framework for identification and structuring of commercial business activities, practical guidance on the actions required in the completion of a concession process and identification of a number of the relevant issues which need to be considered and addressed in establishing and managing a national park concession. The CBM has been developed specifically for application within Victoria's national parks (based on a public/private sector relationship). The output will also provide guidance on methods for embedding natural values on public/private sector relationships in other settings.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of the Victorian antitheatrical prejudice is both well-established and well-respected. This paper, however, examining the Victorian theatrical novel and the Victorian theater in terms of that prejudice, finds the ready assumption of the prejudice to be problematic at best. A close look at three novels that together span the early to mid-nineteenth century shows that, far from being ubiquitous and unilateral, antitheatricality was in many cases an anomaly; indeed, many of those novelistic elements that have long been assumed to be antitheatrical address different issues altogether. Employing close readings of the novels--Jane Austen's Mansfield Park, Charles Dickens's Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, and Geraldine Endsor Jewsbury's The Half-Sisters--along with an examination of historical documents, and utilizing as well current scholarship in Victorian theater and theatrical novels, I demonstrate that the Victorians were instead keen appreciators of theater, and that the Victorian "antitheatrical novel" was in many cases far more interested in the authenticity of human interplay than in the inauthenticity of staged role-play.

Full textAbstract:
Gated Communities är en utbredd boendeform i USA och i många övriga länder. Fenomenet med inhägnade bostadsområden börjar nu även närma sig Sverige. Denna uppsats undersöker om livsstilsboendet Victoria Park, beläget i Malmö, kan klassas som ett Gated Community.Undersökningen är utav en kvalitativ metod. Sammanlagt har fyra intervjuer genomförts med personer bosatta på Victoria Park. En observation av området är också utförd. Syftet med denna uppsats är att kartlägga vilka faktorer som utmärker om Victoria Park, som i media utmålats som ett inhägnat reservat, kan klassas som ett Gated Community. Svaret fann vi genom litteraturstudier kring vad som karaktäriserar Gated Communities samt vad denna boendeform egentligen innebär. Då trygghet är primärt för Gated Communities har vi undersökt hur trygghet uppfattas på Victoria Park. Det finns inga synliga murar runt Victoria Park men området och vegetationens utformning samt bevakningen grannar emellan utgör symboliska hinder, som signalerar att Victoria Park är ett privat område och därmed slutet för allmänheten. Anläggningen kan dock beträdas men endast under särskilda villkor. Victoria Park, i likhet med ett Gated Community, lockar en viss typ av människor som lever likasinnat och passar in i den mall som råder. Denna typ av boende skulle ha svårt att fungera om människor var alltför olika och värderade olika saker i livet, då man lever väldigt nära inpå varandra. På Victoria Park råder stark sammanhållning och ”vi mot dem”-känsla och frågan är om inte dessa faktorer inhägnar ett område mer än fysiska murar? Gemenskap, sammanhållning och att alltid ha någon nära är ledord på Victoria Park vilket är definitionen på trygghet för människorna som bor där.

Full textAbstract:
The late-Victorian and Edwardian period marked the zenith of urban park construction, spurred on in part by concerns about the physical and moral health of those living in the city. For the middle-class reformers at the time, public parks offered a space through which the unique and complex social issues of the era could be addressed and resolved. The public park was unique in that it made children visible on an unprecedented scale. Their role was fixed at the very heart of discourses on health; of the body, the mind, the nation, and the empire. This research explores these discussions of identity, and how that was negotiated by children in the very specific landscape of the public park. Previous work on the concept of childhood during this period has focused on an adult interpretation of the figure of the child, steeped in nostalgia and imbued with an adult fear and hope for the future. I argue that this ignores the lived experience of the child, and denies them agency in creating their own identity. This thesis uses a methodology inspired by current research in the emerging interdisciplinary field of childhood studies and drawing on the insights of material cultures studies to address this. The park space offers a unique opportunity to study lived experiences of childhood, designed as it was for use by the general public, with children firmly in mind. This work addresses the gaps in our knowledge and understanding of public urban parks in relation to children and explores the idea of a late-Victorian and Edwardian childhood identity as a complex and nuanced phenomenon. Throughout my thesis I use three parks as my primary case studies. These are Saltwell Park in Gateshead, Whitworth Park in Manchester, and Greenhead Park in Huddersfield. All three parks are situated in towns in the north of England that experienced dramatic change as a result of the industrial revolution and so reflect the anxieties present nationwide as a result of this change. By way of contrast I also consider parks in London and elsewhere to understand the uniqueness of these parks but also how they were situated within broader national debates over children and childhood. My investigation is broken down into three major thematic areas, each of which seeking to explore and analyse a particular aspect of childhood identity. The first of the three themes is the ‘Natural Child’. I explore the notion that children were thought of having a greater connection with, or affinity for, the natural world, and that they benefitted in particular from access to nature. The second area of research is the ‘Playful Child’. Here the idea that children were inherently playful, frivolous and could be shaped through correct play will be discussed. Finally, I investigate the ‘Empire Child’, exploring the notion of the child as the future of the Empire and the Nation, and the embodiment of concerns over racial superiority, military conquest and economic power. Within each of these sections I examine the way that this idea is expressed in the prescriptive and other literature, before addressing the way in which these notions could be articulated in the park landscape. The material culture of the park and the way in which the parks encouraged or discouraged children’s behaviour is analysed in relation to each of these themes. Significantly I also show how children engaged with, or rejected, notions of childhood identity, acknowledging that children were not just passively receiving instruction, but were actively involved in negotiating their own identity.

Full textAbstract:
Las geografías del agua son elementos íntimamente relacionados con los asentamientos humanos desde el origen de la ciudad, condicionando sus procesos de crecimiento y la forma urbana, así como las dinámicas socioculturales. Como parte fundamental del soporte físico del territorio, el agua tiene la facultad de vertebrar el territorio y la ciudad de manera espacial, cultural, social y simbólica, pues ha servido de base para la antropización del territorio desde los procesos de ocupación ancestrales en que las tribus nómadas seguían los cursos de los ríos, hasta la actualidad, en que las grandes obras de ingeniería hidráulica transforman el entorno con el fin de asegurar el suministro de agua y drenaje. De esta forma, el propósito de esta tesis consiste en estudiar la relación del agua con la ciudad, concentrándose en el caso del río San Marcos en Ciudad Victoria, México, con el objeto de comprender al agua como un elemento que, al proporcionar una base estructural en torno a la cual se construye el territorio antropizado, tiene un gran potencial proyectual y propositivo pues determina los patrones de ocupación, las estructuras del territorio, la morfología de la ciudad, la economía productiva y la cultura local.
La primera parte de esta investigación propone la profundización del concepto de vertebración territorial y urbana relacionada con las geografías del agua. Para ello, se establece una batería de factores tangibles e intangibles obtenidos por medio de la observación de la relación entre el agua y la ciudad en diferentes casos de referencia en entornos socioculturales diversos. La intención de detectar esta serie de factores consiste en su búsqueda sistemática en un caso de estudio concreto.
El caso de estudio seleccionado corresponde al río San Marcos en Ciudad Victoria, un río con un conjunto de patologías en una ciudad intermedia que tiene gran impacto en el territorio, al tratarse de la capital del estado y de un nodo logístico de comunicaciones. Tamaulipas es un estado fronterizo cuyos límites están delineados por la matriz biofísica, es decir, por la Sierra Madre Oriental al poniente y por las geografías del agua en las demás direcciones: el río Bravo al norte, el Golfo de México al este y el río Pánuco al sur, de esta manera, la red hidrológica se conforma por escurrimientos que nacen en la sierra y atraviesan la llanura hasta desembocar en el Golfo de México. En consecuencia, la segunda parte consiste en la búsqueda de estos factores en el caso del río San Marcos en Ciudad Victoria, México, por medio de un análisis morfogenético de la evolución de la ciudad, por medio de deslizamientos en la línea de tiempo y acercamientos progresivos al territorio del río San Marcos. Con ello fue
posible estudiar los procesos territoriales de antropización, los elementos que estructuran el territorio y la importancia del río San Marcos en el desarrollo de la ciudad.
La tercera parte de la tesis concierne al estudio de los proyectos que se han propuesto para el río San Marcos, de manera que se identifican determinados valores de vertebración que conducen al planteamiento de estrategias de intervención que favorecerían la vertebración del
territorio y la ciudad.
Para la realización del análisis del caso de estudio se elaboró un Atlas Morfogenético que incluye la recopilación de cartografía antigua, los planos de los diversos acercamientos al territorio y al artefacto urbano, planos de interpretación de los procesos de ocupación territorial, la reconstrucción histórica del crecimiento de la ciudad y la nueva cartografía del territorio construida expresamente para mostrar su relación con las geografías del agua.Geographies of water are elements which are closely related to human settlements starting from the origin of the city, conditioning its growth processes and its urban form and sociocultural dynamics. As a fundamental part of the biophysical matrix of the territory, water has the power to structure the territory and the city in a spatial, cultural, social and symbolic manner, since it has served as the basis for land anthropization from the processes of ancestral occupation in which nomadic tribes followed the courses of rivers, to the present, in which large hydraulic engineering works transform the environment in order to ensure the water supply and drainage. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to study the relationship between water and the city, focusing on the case study of San Marcos river in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, in order to understand water as a factor which may provide a basis structure around which the anthropized territory is built. Therefore, water has a great potential for projects and urban proposals, because it determines occupation patterns, territorial structures, the morphology of the city, the productive economy and local culture. The first part of this research proposes deepening into the concept of territorial and urban vertebration related to the geographies of water. To this purpose, a series of tangible and intangible factors, obtained through the observation of the relationship between water and city in different reference cases from various cultural settings, is provided. The intent of detecting this number of factors is its systematic research on a specific case study. The selected case study corresponds to San Marcos river in Ciudad Victoria, a river with a set of pathologies in an intermediate city which has great impact on the territory, being the capital of the state of Tamaulipas, and a communications logistics node. Tamaulipas is a border state whose boundaries are defined by the biophysical matrix, i.e., by the Sierra Madre Oriental to the west and by the geographies of water in the other directions: the Rio Grande (also known as Río Bravo) to the north, the Gulf of Mexico to the east and the river Pánuco to the south. In this way, the hydrological network is formed by runoffs that originate in the mountains and cross the plains before discharging into the Gulf of Mexico. Consequently, the second part of this research consists of finding the factors of territorial and urban vertebration in the case of the San Marcos river in Ciudad Victoria, through morphogenetic analysis of the evolution of the city, through timeline slipping and making progressive zooms in the San Marcos river territory. In this way, it was possible to study the territorial anthropization processes, the elements that structure the territory and the importance of San Marcos river in the development of Ciudad Victoria. The third part of the thesis involves the study of several projects that have been proposed for San Marcos river, in order to identify specific vertebration values which lead to present certain intervention strategies that favour the cohesiveness of the territory and the city. To carry out the analysis of the case study, a Morphogenetic Atlas was developed, including a collection of old maps, plans of the various zooms to the territory and the urban artifact, interpretative plans of the processes of land occupation, a historical reconstruction of the growth of the city and several new cartographic maps of the territory of Ciudad Victoria, expressly built in order to show its relation with geographies of water.

Full textAbstract:
Notre-Dame de Paris 1482, by Victor Hugo, is a work which collects many genres. This poetry however gives all signs of clumsiness (let us think of Gringoire's play or of Quasimodo's "verses"), of vulgarity (the language used by the rogues, Jehan Frollo's drinking songs), of analphabetism (a condition shared by Esmeralda, Quasimodo, and "le peuple"), of the secular, even more of the profane (the heresy and anticlericalism present in the novel). The poetry of Notre-Dame de Paris is scattered (dissipated) into a number of under-texts which appear to perturb the rules of "good" literature.A first part of this thesis examines a few characteristics of the writing of Hugo: its tendency toward a certain declassification, as well as some of its most important aesthetics, such as the grotesque and the excessiveness. A second section is an analysis of different aspects of Gringoire's morality, songs of Jehan and Esmeralda, Quasimodo's "poem"--these aspects being studied through the element of locality and the theme of the volatile.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude du mémoriale historiarum a pour base l'examen codicologique des manuscrits. Il met en évidence l'existence de deux versions, établies successivement entre 1302 et la fin des années 1320. L'ampleur de l'entreprise indique que l'auteur a beneficié pendant une vingtaine d'années de l'assistance d'une équipe et du soutien constant de la communauté victorine qui a fait sien ce projet historiographique. L'auteur présente une véritable réflexion sur l'histoire, qui s'affirme entre la première et la seconde version. Il accorde une place non négligeable à la descriptio orbis terrarum, cadre de l'action des hommes et de l'histoire du salut. Celle-ci met l'accent sur la vocation universelle de l'Église. Mais l'histoire est aussi animée par le principe de la divisio regnorum, que le chanoine victorin présente plus particulièrement dans le tractatus introduisant la chronique qui va de César à 1322 (le texte en est edité en annexe de la thèse). Jean de Saint-Victor, dont l'identité précise reste inconnue mais dont la formation universitaire est certaine, nourrit sa reflexion aux sources du débat intellectuel des années 1280-1320. La lecture qu'il propose de l'histoire témoigne de l'effort des victorins à intégrer à leur héritage traditionnel (en particulier celui de Hugues de Saint-Victor et de l'augustinisme) l'influence desormais dominante de l'aristotélismeThe basis for this study of the memoriale historiarum is the codicological examination of the manuscripts. It underscores the existence of two versions, successively established between 1302 and the end of the 1320s. The scope of the enterprise shows that the author has benefited from the assistance of a team and the constant support of the community of saint victor that has made this historiographical project its own. The author presents a genuine analysis of history that becomes all the stronger and the clearer in the second version. He highlights the significance of the descriptio orbis terrarum, the framework of men's actions and of the history of salvation. Thus the universal vocation of the church is emphasised. But history is also animated by the principle of the divisio regnorum, more specifically developed by the canon of Saint Victor in the tractatus, which introduces the chronicle that covers the period from Caesar to 1322 (the text is included in an annex of the thesis). John of Saint Victor, whose precise identity remains unknown but whose university education is certain, nurtured his thought at the sources of the intellectual debate of the years 1280-1320

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura textual do romance Notre-Dame de Paris, de Victor Hugo, a partir de algumas imagens singulares apresentadas nesta produção hugoliana. O objetivo deste percurso de pesquisa consiste em evidenciar a leitura simbólica da obra em questão, captada das relações da literatura com a arquitetura, configurada por algumas imagens nucleares, como Anankè, que assombra as figuras que povoam o romance, como o advento da imprensa, como a lucarna, como a cela do padre, entre outras. Sob este ângulo, acredita-se que o campo psicanalítico permite decifrar os efeitos do enigma e da fascinação produzidos pela obra hugoliana sobre o leitor. Nesse sentido, considera-se que o inconsciente representa o ponto de irradiação das pulsões, território que vai traduzir as relações espaciais da literatura com a arquitetura, enquanto expressões do simbólico. Desta maneira, o caminho de pesquisa se articula em três capítulos. Enquanto o primeiro, intitulado "Notre-Dame de Paris e a representação por imagens", visa a situar este percurso de pesquisa do ponto de vista do corpus teórico, representado, sobretudo, por Barthes e Blanchot, no que se refere à literatura, e por Freud, no que se refere à psicanálise; o segundo, intitulado "Notre-Dame de Paris e a crítica literária", procura apresentar uma leitura crítica baseada em quatro prefácios diferentes, de Notre-Dame de Paris: enfatizam o que seus autores destacam no contexto histórico que aparece escondido sob as imagens impostas pela escritura hugoliana; finalmente, o terceiro, intitulado "Imagens simbólicas de Notre-Dame de Paris", estabelece a leitura textual das imagens simbólicas que se produzem em Notre-Dame de Paris, intermediadas pelo cruzamento da literatura com a arquitetura.

Full textAbstract:
Grindsamhällen, eller "gated communities" som är en välanvänd term även i Sverige, är något som fått en kraftigt ökad popularitet runtom i världen. Den största tillväxten av denna boendeform kan vi framförallt se i USA, men även Latin- och Sydamerika samt Sydafrika. Vad är då ett grindsamhälle? Definitionen av ordet skulle kunna beskrivas som ett inhägnat område med bostäder, med säkerhetsåtgärder såsom murar, staket och bevakade grindar, vilka syftar till att hålla utomstående människor borta från området. Denna boendeform har mött stark kritik och flera forskare menar att dessa områden leder till en ökad segregation. Så vilka orsaker anses då ligga bakom denna kraftiga ökning i efterfrågan på grindsamhällen? Den absolut största anledningen anses vara att man upplever en ökad rädsla att utsättas för brott och därför söker en trygghet bakom grindarna. En aspekt som var intressant att undersöka var hur effektiva grindsamhällen är på att ge sina invånare vad de eftersträvar. Vissa studier visar att kriminaliteten till och med kan vara högre i ett grindsamhälle jämfört med utanför. Uppsatsen mynnar ut i hur förutsättningarna ser ut för etablering av grindsamhällen i Sverige. Undersökningar visar att efterfrågan på grindsamhällen i Sverige är stor, men det finns även hinder, som exempelvis allemansrätten, vilken komplicerar byggandet av staket. Denna motkraft anses dock inte vara tillräcklig och utvecklingen mot en framtid med grindsamhällen i Sverige kommer till slut att vara omöjlig att stoppa. Det övergripande syftet med arbetet har i första hand varit att ta reda på mer om fenomenet grindsamhällen, för att sedan sätta det i en svensk kontext. Metoden för att åstadkomma detta har till stor del bestått av en litteratursökning, där urvalet gjordes genom att endast studera litteratur som var relevant för frågeställningarna, samt att sålla bort litteratur som var allt för platsspecifik eller som inte hade ett neutralt förhållningssätt till ämnet.Gated communities is a phenomenon that has seen a big increase in popularity all around the world last years. The largest growth can be seen primarily in the United States, but also in Latin- and South America as well as South Africa. So what is a gated community? The definition of the word could be described as a gated residential area, which has security measures such as walls, fences and guarded gates, which intend to keep nonresidents away from the neighborhood. This form of living has faced massive criticism, and several researchers argue that these types of neighborhoods lead to an increased segregation. So what are the underlying causes behind this steep increase in demand of gated communities? What has been regarded as the absolutely biggest reason is an increased fear of being subject to crime and the search for security behind the gates. An interesting aspect is to study how effective a gated community is to actually help its residents achieve what they are searching for. Some studies show that the crime rate may actually be higher inside a gated community compared to the outside. The essay comes down to how well the conditions for establishment of gated communities in Sweden are. Studies show that the demand for gated communities in Sweden is high, but there are some obstacles, for example the "Right of Public Access", which complicates the building of fences. However, this is considered to be insufficient and the development towards a future with gated communities in Sweden will ultimately be impossible to stop. The overall purpose of this thesis has been to find out more about the phenomenon gated communities and to put it in a Swedish context. The method for accomplishing this has mainly consisted of a literature search, where the selection was made by only studying literature relevant to the research questions, as well as not studying literature which was far too site-specific or that did not have a neutral approach to the subject.

Daß Cousin heute weitgehend vergessen ist, liegt eben daran, daß sein Tun und Wirken als Philosoph eng mit der Bildungspolitik seiner Zeit verwoben ist. Daß unsere Lehrbücher der Philosophiegeschichte ihn lediglich anführen als einen, der das Studium der Philosophiegeschichte gefördert habe, ist ein dialektischer Rückschlag der von Cousin selbst ins Werk gesetzten Historisierung, denn Cousin hat schnell das Prestige des „großen\" Philosophen verloren, das - nach seinen eigenen Vorstellungen - Unvergeßlichkeit garantiert.

A relação entre literatura e dança é antiga e ocorre sob diversas formas. A escritura frequentemente serve como referência para criações coreográficas, assim como a dança insere-se como elemento fundamental em algumas narrativas. Os estudos sobre a dança na literatura são numerosos. Entretanto, pesquisas que perfazem o caminho oposto, analisando a transposição da obra literária para a dança, são praticamente inexistentes, deixando uma série de indagações a respeito dessa forma de recriação. Portanto, identificar e questionar as dinâmicas envolvidas no processo de metamorfose de um código para outro, ou seja, da palavra escrita ao movimento, constitui o cerne desta pesquisa. Com o propósito de tentar responder a essas questões e analisar o diálogo intersemiótico entre essas artes, propomos um estudo comparativo entre o romance Notre-Dame de Paris de Victor Hugo e a adaptação coreográfica desta obra para o ballet neoclássico realizada pelo coreógrafo Roland Petit. No processo de análise das obras, focaremos nas relações de amor e monstruosidade, investigando as principais divergências e convergências entre ambas as obras. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
The link between literature and dance is a longstanding relationship and it occurs in various forms. The scripture often serves as a reference for choreographic creations, as well as dancing is part of a fundamental element in some narratives. The studies about the dance in the literature are numerous. However, researches that make up the opposite way, analyzing the transposition of the literary oeuvre to the dance, are almost non-existent, leaving a number of inquiries concerning this form of recreation. Therefore, to identify and question the dynamics involved in the process of metamorphosis from one code to another, i.e. the written word to the motion, is at the heart of this research. With the purpose of try to answer these questions and analyze the intersemiotic dialogue between these arts, we propose a comparative study of the novel Notre-Dame de Paris by Victor Hugo and the choreographic adaptation of this oeuvre to the neoclassical ballet performed by the choreographer Roland Petit.In the process of analysis of the oeuvres, we will focus on the relations of love and monstrosity, investigating the main differences and similarities between the two artworks.

Le champ artistique du xixeme siecle a subi diverses revolutions caracterisees par des interactions nouvelles. Le roman, genre central de cette periode, devient un materiau pour toutes sortes d'adaptations. Victor hugo s'est identifie a son siecle et la diversite creative ambiante peut etre symbolisee par le roman notre-dame de paris qui se voit enrichir de transpositions dramatiques et picturales. A l'aube du xxeme siecle, nait un nouveau medium : le cinema, et de nombreux cineastes ont ete tentes par le roman de hugo. Si nous considerons le caractere hybride du genre romanesque, de la diversite de ses codes, etc. , le roman developpe des liens de plus en plus etroits avec le film. L'importance numerique des adaptations cinematographiques invite a une demarche comparative permettant de mieux comprendre les differentes instances et procedures propres au deux genres. Il ne s'agira pas de demontrer la superiorite de l'un ou l'autre mais d'etablir leurs divers codes, contraintes et leur traitement lors de la transposition. Notre-dame de paris requiert tous les elements permettant d'analyser les modes de transposition au cinema et la diversite de ses adaptations offre un large support a cette etude. Il conviendra de comparer les histoires, l'aspect esthetique et les valeurs textuelles devenues images. Comment les differentes structures narratives et les cadres spatio-temporels ont-ils ete transposes ? quelle valeur est accordee a la part esthetique ? comment ont ete percus les personnages, l'intrigue et les donnees diegetiques ? l'histoire a-t-elle conserve la meme importance et le meme interet que dans le roman ? ceci tuera-t-il cela ? le film tuera-t-il le livre ?

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail retrace l' histoire des rituels de clôture de la guerre dans les capitales européennes après 1918. Le premier chapitre explore l'histoire de la ritualité publique en Europe depuis la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et pendant la Grande Guerre. Les deuxième et troisième chapitres envisagent la ritualisation de l'armistice et de la fin des combats en novembre 1918. Les trois chapitres suivants abordent les grandes célébrations de la victoire consécutives à la signature de la paix, dont le moment festif de juillet 1919 à Paris, Londres et Bruxelles constitue l'expression initiale et la plus achevée. Le chapitre 4 consiste en une présentation et en une analyse symbolique de la morphologie de ces trois célébrations. Le chapitre 5 revient ensuite sur l'histoire de leur élaboration. Le chapitre 6 poursuit l'étude des célébration de la victoire dans deux cas (Rome et Bucarest) où le processus de sortie de guerre s'avéra particulièrement complexe. Le chapitre 7 déploie la question de la réception des rites de victoire en se concentrant sur une seule fête, le 14 juillet 1919. Un épilogue, enfin, élargit à nouveau la perspective, aussi bien chronologique que géographique en envisageant sur un mode synthétique la dernière étape de la trajectoire rituelle des sociétés européennes victorieuses, l'invention du Soldat inconnu. Ce travail remet en cause l'idée selon laquelle l'activité commémorative publique postérieure à la Grande Guerre aurait pour fonction de répondre à des besoins des sociétés et des endeuillés. Il met en lumière, à travers l'étude du rituel public l'existence d'une culture interalliée dans les premières années de la sortie de guerreThis work traces the history of the ritual closing ofthe war in the European capital cities after 1918. The first chapter explores the history of the public rituals in Europe since the end of the nineteenth cent ury and during th Great War. The second and third chapters deal with the celebrations organized in connection with the armistice and the end of the war in November 1918. The next three chapters address the major victory celebrations which took place after the signing of the peace treaty. Chapter 4 is a presentation and a symbolic analysis of the morphology of the three major celebrations organized in Paris, London and Brussels in July 1919. Chapter 5 focus on the organizational process. Chapte 6 explores two cases (Rome and Bucharest) where the process ofending the war proved particularly complex. Chapter 7 deals with the problem of the reception of the rites ofvictory by focusing on the Parisian case. An epilogue considers the last series ofrituals set up by the victor societies, the burials of the Unknown Soldiers. This work challenges the idea that public commemoration after the Great War was designed to meet the needs of bereaved individuals and societies. It highlights, through the study of public ritual, the existence of an inter-Allied Cultur down to the early twenties

PhD thesis, Murdoch University, 1994. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/50885/.
Full textAbstract:
The subject matter of this study is the consumption of suburban housing in Australian metropolitan regions between the two world wars. Specifically, it examines the distinctiveness of what was owned and occupied by whom in relation to later developments. Despite the period being of considerable significance in the growth of urban residential areas, it has not been well researched and this mainly involves two methodological problems. The first is the dearth of detailed data; the second is the lack of an established theoretical framework to guide investigations. Clearly the two elements are interrelated and therefore this study is as much about the development of a body of relevant information as it is about a conceptual interpretation of the findings.
Turning to the first difficulty, the problem is not only the availability of data for the period per se, but also to relate it to the overall development of suburbs. This has entailed a reworking of census data and to that end, growth groups were devised and found to be more sensitive than zones to portray trends within However, metropolitan areas. this still does not overcome the data gap, particularly between 1921 and 1947, and consequently a detailed study has been made of Victoria Park from the rate books and sewerage plans. This covers the period from 1900 to 1955 and thereby provides a wider time frame to assess the distinctiveness of the period between the two world wars. With regard to the second difficulty, many studies appear to seek direct cause and effect linkages which have shaped urban phenomena. In this study, following the ideals of structuration, the view is taken that suburban housing is interconnected with the wider social structure in a mutually responsive relationship. Within this framework, the proposition is that there has been a shift in emphasis from houses as places for the sustenance of labour to locations for the consumption of a widening array of goods and services, including the house itself; and that this emerged strongly between the two world wars.
While there are many facets to the study of suburban growth and development, two particular issues are used to direct this research. The first is the nature of occupancy, characters of dwellings and the relationships between them as indicators of changes in the consumption of housing. The second is the role of gender in these developments. The latter is considered to be significant because one of the apparent outcomes of suburbanization in the period was the segregation of males and females; and furthermore, while the suburbs were the domain of women, men appeared to control access to the means of consumption.
From an analysis of the data developed at the macro scale of the Greater Perth Metropolitan Region, based on 26 Local Government Areas, and the micro level of Victoria Park using more than 6000 dwellings, the following findings have been made. Firstly, home ownership was a significant, although obscured, element of the suburbs which developed between the two world wars. Secondly, while the depression had a devastating and prolonged impact on home ownership in working class areas such as Victoria Park, in so doing, the proportion of outright to mortgage ownership increased. Thirdly, the period between the wars was part of a longer term trend for homes to have more rooms, often at the expense of verandahs, and fewer inhabitants. Fourthly, despite the fact that established suburbs had a majority of females, men still either owned or were nominated as the principal occupiers of the majority of residences. However, between the wars, not only did the level of female ownership increase significantly, but joint ownership also emerged as a the major form of occupancy. Fifthly, during the same period, there was a marginal propensity for sole males to own slightly larger, more expensive, brick homes while sole females owned slightly smaller, cheaper, weather-board residences. However, there is no clear distinction in terms of either age of dwellings or distance to the closest tram stop or railway station. Finally, although Perth has been characterised as a brick city, initial housing in the new suburbs, particularly in the period which encompassed the two world wars, were usually constructed of cheaper, more easily transported and constructed materials. The emphasis on brick homes was usually a feature of later consolidation phases of urban development.
From these findings it is concluded that housing, as both a major item of consumption, and as the venue for increasing levels of household consumption, was well established in the suburbs which developed between the two world wars. As such, it is suggested that residential areas need to be seriously viewed as places of consumption and this consideration tied into any endeavour to plan future developments.

Full textAbstract:
Qui peut nier l'importance du surnaturel ? Victor Hugo lui-même s'est intéressé aux manifestations de l'au-delà : la mort et la folie d'êtres chers, la solitude de l'exil, l'expérience de l'occultisme l'ont conduit à entrer en communication avec le monde invisible des esprits. L'œuvre picturale et l'agencement d'Hauteville-house soulignent son attrait pour l'étrangeté. La lecture approfondie des trois œuvres romanesques inscrites à cette étude - Notre-Dame de Paris, Les travailleurs de la mer, L'homme qui rit - permet de dégager trois types de surnaturel pour chacun desquels il est procédé à une étude du mécanisme et des effets stylistiques, à un relevé des occurrences caractéristiques et au recensement des principaux thèmes concernés : le surnaturel explique ou "connu" débouche toujours sur la reconnaissance de l'évènement, de la personne ou de l'élément placés en situation surnaturelle ; le surnaturel issu du naturel ou surnaturel "reconnu" montre combien la nature et ses diverses productions offrent d'inépuisables ressources à l'expression du surnaturel ; enfin le surnaturel jailli de l'indescriptible et de l'innommable ou surnaturel "inconnu", rassemble tous les faits ou données qui laissent l'homme impuissant et désarmé face à une interrogation non résolue. Le surnaturel ne reste-t-il pas toujours sans réponse ? C'est ce que semble dire Victor Hugo.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude du vocabulaire de la monstruosité dans : "Notre-Dame de Paris, Les travailleurs de la mer et L'homme qui rit" de Victor Hugo, a pour objet de définir ses champs lexicaux afin d'aboutir à une étude comparative entre les vocables qui sont utilisés par l'auteur dans ces trois romans d'une part et les vocables qui existent dans la langue française d'autre part. La monstruosité a été étudiée aux niveaux : contextes médico-scientifico-littéraire, socio- culturo-religio-politique de l'époque ou l'écrivain a écrit ses romans. Des théories au XIXe siècle ont classé la monstruosité en deux genres : monstruosité par excès et par défaut. Hugo était au courent des expériences dirigées à l'époque alors que les vocables, anomalie, difformité, malformation se manifestent dans ces romans. Mais avant d'aborder la problématique de la monstruosité, nous avons défini les concepts de quelques notions de la terminologie linguistique. Ces notions différencient, langue et langage, vocabulaire et lexème et littérature et langage, etc. La monstruosité en tant que genre littéraire et mythologique, engendre les vocables, surnaturel, surhumain, sublime, fauve, Satan, diable, etc. Elle conduit à étudier la relation entre les mots par rapport à leur niveau lexical, sémantique, sémémique et culturel, sans oublier le nombre d'occurrences qui inventorie une quantité importante de ces vocables. Un regroupement thématique des vocables a été très utile. C'est à l'aide des dictionnaires que le regroupement a été effectué. Une démarche démonstrative différencie le sens propre et le sens figure de la monstruosité. Le vocabulaire de la monstruosité est omniprésent dans ces trois romans et très présent dans la langue française. L'évolution de son sens est étudiée par la synchronie et la diachronie. L'étude révèle le rapprochement entre les lexiques utilises dans les trois romans et explore l'ambiguïté du mythe. Elle montre aussi la spécificité de Hugo dans son choix du vocabulaire opéréThis study aims at the identification and the presentation of the vocabulary of monsters found in three of Victor Hugo novels : "Notre-Dame de Paris, Les travailleurs de la mer et L'homme qui rit". The objective of this study is to compare the terms used by the author with those already existant in the French language. The term monstrosity is examined in different contexts: medical, scientific and literary, socio-cultural, religious and political. Various theories of the xix century helped us to classify the vocabulary identified into two distinct groups: exaggerated monstrosity and that which is missing. Terms such as anomaly, deformity, ill formed. . . Are often found in his novels which reveals that the author was aware of experiments conducted during his time. First of all we identified certain linguistic terms and differentiated between langue et langage, vocabulary and lexeme, literature and language, etc. As for monstrosity considered in its literary and mythological form, it gives rise to terms such as supernatural, superhuman, sublime, savage, Satan, devil, etc. An inventory of the occurence of these terms led us to study their inter-relation at lexical, semantic, semic and cultural levels. Different dictionaries were used to regroup these terms thematically, thus enabling us to differentiate between the real and the figurative meaning of the same word. A synchronique and diachronique study of the different terms helped us to see the evolution in the sense of the different terms present in the French language in general and in the three novels subject to analysis. By exploring the ambiguity of the myth on the one hand and the specificity and choice of vocabulary by Hugo on the other reveals the existing closeness between the vocabulary used in these three novels

Full textAbstract:
My research on Victor Brauner’s work in the first two decades of his affiliation with the Surrealist group in Paris re-establishes the role played by the Romanian Jewish artist in the definition of automatic Surrealist procedures of painting and mixed-technique objects that relied upon a new and unconventional understanding of the occult. In the three chapters of this study of Victor Brauner’s work in the 1930s and early 1940s, I analyse key notions, such as the fantastic, animal magnetism, and the occult practices of art making in a Surrealist context. The fantastic is discussed in the first chapter of the thesis from a literary perspective with political connotations in Surrealism, which resulted from a debate engaged in nineteenth-century French literature on the issue of the marvellous versus the fantastic. Due to the Surrealists’ interest in the fantastic a new category emerged, the fantastic art, which is examined in this first chapter in connection with Brauner’s artworks in the 1930s. The incursion into the fantastic, with focus on the premonition of the painter’s left eye loss in his artworks of the 1930s is completed with an approach to spiritualism that had a revival at the time. The second chapter of the thesis investigates the doctrine of animal magnetism and the state of magnetic somnambulism in eighteenth-century scholarship and shows how this experimentation had influenced the development of a new branch of the science, metapsychics or psychical research at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth one. I take into account and demonstrate that these outdated and modern domains of enquiry into the unknown and beyond reality were appealing to Surrealists, in particular to Brauner, due to their research into unconscious processes of the mind. I argue that through the attainment of a condition similar to the one of the somnambulist in sessions of magnetic sleep, the Surrealists aimed to generate automatic procedures of painting and object making. In the third chapter of the thesis I discuss Victor Brauner’s technique of drawing with a candle, or le cirage, as an automatic procedure of art developed in connection with the occult. This final part of the thesis makes also manifest the association of Brauner’s artworks in the early 1940s with practices of the occult in the near and centuries before past.

Full textAbstract:
Le personnage du forçat est omniprésent dans la littérature française du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. La représentation du monde des travaux forcés dans les bagnes portuaires et plus tard extra-métropolitains est à la croisée de la représentation plus large de la criminalité au XIXe siècle, selon un développement historique concomitant avec l’expansion coloniale. Les faits divers, ces petits bulletins d’alerte lancés comme une basse continue sur la cité, changent la manière de percevoir la criminalité. Obéissant à une structure particulière, le fait divers va remodeler la représentation littéraire de la criminalité. C’est ici qu’intervient le personnage du forçat. En effet, jouissant d’un statut particulier (mort/vivant/revenant), il offre aux romanciers des « conditions de possibilité » inédites jusque-là dans le monde des lettres. Jean Valjean, Monte-Cristo et Chéri-Bibi, pour ne citer que les plus connus, sont devenus des modèles dans ce qu’on peut appeler le « roman de la chiourme », (sous)-genre qui se développe en France à partir de 1830. Ainsi, Valjean donnera l’archétype du « forçat innocent », le converti miraculé et la réincarnation de Jésus-Christ. Monte-Cristo sera le Vengeur par excellence, dont le parcours donnera le modèle du genre – la vengeance étant un topos inévitable de la littérature populaire du XIXe siècle et jusqu’à nos jours. Chéri-Bibi quant à lui, au début du XXe siècle, incarne un tournant dans l’histoire du genre ; il serait au roman de la chiourme ce que Don Quichotte fut pour le roman de chevalerie : une somme et un dépassement. L’étude que nous proposons, centrée sur la « genèse et la structure » du roman du bagne, est un voyage à rebours dans l’histoire de ce genre qui ne dit pas son nomThe character of convict is omnipresent in French literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The representation of the world of hard labor in metropolitan and colonial prisons is at the crossroads of the broader representation of crime in the nineteenth century, according to a concomitant historical development with colonial expansion. The miscellaneous news, these little newsletters launched continually on the city, change the way of perceiving crime. Obeying a specific structure, this type of news will reshape the literary representation of crime. This is where the character of the convict comes in. Indeed, enjoying a special status (dead/alive/revenant), it offers novelists "conditions of possibility" unseen until then in the world of letters. Jean Valjean, Monte-Cristo and Chéri-Bibi, to name only the well known, have become models in what we can call the "novel of the convicts", literary (sub)-genre which develops in France from 1830 onwards. Thus, Valjean will give the archetype of the "innocent convict", the miraculous convert and the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Monte-Cristo will be the Avenger par excellence, whose course will be the model of the genre - revenge being an inevitable topos of popular literature of the nineteenth century and until today. As for Chéri-Bibi, at the beginning of the twentieth century, embodies a turning point in the history of gender; it would be to the novel of the convict what Don Quixote was for the chivalric romance: a sum and a surpassing. The study we propose, oriented on the "genesis and structure" of the prison novel, is a reverse journey in history of this literary genre that does not say its name

Full textAbstract:
Pendant cinquante ans, de 1833 à 1883, Juliette Drouet écrivit environ vingt-deux mille lettres à Victor Hugo. Le corpus étudié, composé de 653 lettres plus une enveloppe, propose la lecture continue des lettres, transcrites et annotées. Il s’inscrit dans un projet de l’édition intégrale de cette correspondance, dont Florence Naugrette, Professeur à l’Université Paris-Sorbonne, est la directrice. Ces lettres ont un triple intérêt : biographique, historique et littéraire. Juliette Drouet décrit la nouvelle vie de famille de Victor Hugo qui a décidé de réunir ses petits-enfants, sa belle-fille ainsi que Juliette Drouet, dans le même immeuble du 21 de la rue de Clichy, à des étages différents. Ce déménagement est annoncé dès le début de l’année 1874 et occupe nombre de lettres, tout comme l’aménagement du second étage où habite Juliette Drouet et où Victor Hugo travaille et reçoit ses invités lors de ses dîners et ses soirées. De plus, ces lettres sont un témoignage de la vie quotidienne d’une maîtresse de maison à la fin du XIXe siècle, et de ses domestiques. Elles évoquent aussi la proximité avec les animaux, l’usage des médicaments et donnent des renseignements précieux sur les relations entre les malades, la santé et la médecine. Leur intérêt littéraire se révèle dans les comptes rendus de l’accueil de Quatre-vingt-treizième et des lectures du Rappel, en plus du genre hybride de journal épistolaire que ces lettres possèdent. Beaucoup plus que la maîtresse, Juliette Drouet apparaît comme l’épouse de Victor Hugo. Il légitime cette relation par les cinq lettres qu’il lui écrit chaque année et montre que Juliette Drouet est bien la pierre angulaire de son existenceFor fifty years, from 1833 to 1883, Juliette Drouet wrote about twenty-two thousand letters to Victor Hugo. The corpus studied, 653 letters more one envelope, offers the continuous reading of the letters, transcribed and annotated. It is part of a project of the complete edition of this correspondence, which Florence Naugrette, Professor at the University Paris-Sorbonne, is the Director. These letters have a triple interest : biographical, historical and literary. Juliette Drouet describes new family life of Victor Hugo who decided to meet her grandchildren, daughter-in-law and Juliette Drouet, different floors in the same building of the 21 street of Clichy. This move is announced early in the year 1874 and occupies number of letters, just as the development of the second floor where lives of Juliette Drouet and where Victor Hugo works and receives his guests at his dinner and his evenings. Moreover, these letters are a testimony of the daily life of a housewife at the end of the 19th century, and her servants. They also evoke the proximity with animals, the use of drugs and give valuable information on the relationships between patients, health and medicine. Their literary interest is revealed in the reviews of Quatrevingt-Treize and the readings of Le Rappel, in addition to the hybrid kind of epistolary diary that these letters have. Victor Hugo legitimate this relationship with the five letters that he write her every year and shows that Juliette Drouet is the cornerstone of his existence

Full textAbstract:
Whatever the significance of the postmodern state of mind, recent views concerning philosophical eclecticism are largely the product of researches into the history of philosophy. There is an obvious inclination of today''s intellectual historians to investigate background figures of European modernity. The increasing willingness of historians to enlarge the notion of philosophy in both its disciplinary and historical definition seems to be in agreement with a similar disposition of contemporary philosophers. As we can learn from Michael Albrecht''s and Patrice Vermeren''s books, a critical appreciation of eclecticism throws light both on the conditions of contemporary philosophizing and on the politics of philosophy in the modern age.

Full textAbstract:
When residential segregation is mentioned in news coverage and when it is talked about in everyday discourse in Sweden, it is very often associated with immigration and minority groups living in the poorer areas of the city. A common assumption is that “immigrants” actively withdraw from society and that they choose to live together rather than integrating with the majority population. This study, however, argues that discussions about segregation cannot be limited to the areas where minorities and poorer-income groups live, but must understand segregation as a process occurring in the whole system of urban neighbourhoods. In order to reach a more complete understanding of the ways in which segregation processes are at work in contemporary Swedish cities, knowledge is needed about the inhabitants with greater resources and power to choose their dwellings and residential areas. The neighbourhood choices of more privileged groups, and the socio-spatial reproduction of the areas of the upper-middle class, are investigated by applying a qualitative ethnographic framework. The thesis studies two neighbourhoods located in the post-industrial city of Malmö: Victoria Park, a US-inspired “lifestyle community” which is the first of its kind in Sweden, and Bellevue, older but still one of the most exclusive and high-status neighbourhoods in the city. In order to understand self-segregation among privileged groups, the study especially scrutinises the concepts of class and security as well as the impacts of neoliberalisation on the Swedish housing market. The main argument of the study is that the self-segregation by members of the upper-middle class demonstrates a rift which runs through the urban fabric of Malmö, splintering the city up into perceived separate worlds. The existence of physical, symbolic and social boundaries in Victoria Park and Bellevue reproduces these neighbourhoods as exclusive, private and tranquil spaces of the upper-middle class. By locating themselves in the calm and safe part of the city, the upper-middle class can buy security as a commodity, rather than relying on the welfare state to provide it for them.

Full textAbstract:
L'internationalisation des musées est une tendance illustrant les stratégies de développement des activités ces institutions hors du marché national d'origine. Comment peut-on définir ce phénomène ? Une analyse des correspondances multiples d'une base de données, créée à partir d'une enquête réalisée dans le cadre de cette recherche, fait apparaître une typologie des musées : les «élites», les «entrepreneurs innovateurs», les «entrepreneurs conservateurs» et les «artisans». Les acteurs ont deux stratégies d'internationalisation complémentaires : la stratégie de rentabilité économique et la stratégie patrimoniale. Par ailleurs, les musées voient leurs modèles d'affaire et de gouvernance évoluer. Les modèles historiques (le modèle dépendant, le modèle affranchi, le modèle mixte) semblent être remis en cause par une baisse historique des subventions publiques, une incertitude quant aux donations privées et des ressources en billetterie qui n'augmentent pas. L'internationalisation des pratiques a un impact sur ces modèles et permet de les faire évoluer. Enfin, les caractéristiques et les pratiques des musées à l'international sont illustrées par deux études de cas : le Victoria & Albert Museum et le Musée des arts et métiers (Paris, France)Museums are increasingly developing international strategies to raise their profiles outside of home markets. How can we define this trend? A multiple correspondence analysis of a database, which is populated by the results of a survey that we conducted among international museums, reveals that museums fall into four categories regarding their internationalization strategies: "elite", entrepreneur-innovator", "entrepreneur-curator" and "artisan" museums. Museums can have two complementary international strategies: one geared toward economic profitability or one geared toward the preservation of heritage. Traditional business models (dependent, independent, and mixed) face challenges from a decline in public subsidies, uncertainty surrounding private donations and stagnant ticket sales. The internationalization of museums have an impact on the historical models and contributes to the evolution of these business models. Two case studies illustrate the international characteristics and practices of museums: the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Musée des Arts et Métiers (Paris, France)

Mouton, Marguerite. "Les « profonds enchantements » épiqueres : nouveau modèle d’épopée et pouvoir de l'imaginaire chez Victor Hugo et J.R.R. Tolkien, (Notre-Dame de Paris et La Légende des siècles, Le livre des contes perdus, Les Lais du Beleriand et Le Seigneur des anneaux)." Thesis, Paris 13, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA131010.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’éclairer le rapport entre épopée et imagination qui se développe de manière singulière à partir du romantisme. Elle s’appuie pour cela sur une confrontation des oeuvres de Victor Hugo (Notre-Dame de Paris et La Légende des siècles) et de J.R.R. Tolkien (Le Livre des contes perdus, Les Lais du Beleriand et Le Seigneur des anneaux) avec la tradition épique occidentale, déclinée en une histoire des modèles du genre, en prenant en compte la spécificité de l’époque moderne dans cette chaîne. Dans cette perspective, cette recherche se fonde sur les résultats de nouveaux types d’approche (philosophique, sociologique, anthropologique et philologique) du genre épique pendant cette période et, en particulier, sur une conception récemment mise en évidence à partir d’un corpus de textes canoniques : les épopées, caractérisées par une forme populaire et souple, ouverte sur des prolongements et transpositions, remplissent au sein d’une société la fonction de réfléchir et de problématiser, dans le cadre narratif, les crises que celle-ci traverse, favorisant ainsi l’émergence de nouvelles configurations du monde. En partant d’oeuvres des dix-neuvième et vingtième siècles, nous proposons d’interpréter cette invention d’organisations politiques inédites, que réalise le travail épique, en termes de jaillissement de nouvelles significations du monde. Il apparaît alors possible de distinguer un nouveau modèle d’épopées, répondant à un problème spécifique de l’époque moderne : le désenchantement entendu comme perte du sens. En érigeant en un régime de l’oeuvre l’exploitation des ressources de l’imaginaire, ces épopées donnent à voir un monde signifiant. Elles créent ainsi pour le lecteur les conditions d’une possibilité du sens, préalables à toute orientation de ce dernierThis dissertation sets out to highlight the relationship between the epic genre and imagination as it begins to unfold anew from the Romantic period on. To that purpose, this study compares and contrasts works from Victor Hugo (Notre-Dame de Paris and La Légende des siècles) and from J.R.R. Tolkien (The Book of Lost Tales, The Lays of Beleriand and The Lord of the Rings) with the Western epic tradition, presented as an on-going history of models. Within this generic chain, special attention is given to the specific features of modern times. From this perspective, the present research lies on recent findings and new approaches to the epic genre of that period, whether in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, or philology. In particular, it elaborates on a conception recently established from a body of canonical texts, according to which epic works – of flexible and popular forms, readily transposed and extended –, do perform within a given society the functions of reflecting and problematizing, within the narrative framework, the crises experienced by this society, thus allowing new configurations of the world to emerge. Reading from nineteenth- and twentieth- century literary works, I propose to interpret the epic creation of these innovative political frameworks as an outpouring of new meanings into the world. It then becomes possible to establish a new epic model that answers a specific question encountered by modernity: disenchantment understood as the process of losing meaning and purpose. Considering the appeal to imagination as an operation in its own right, such epic works provide views of a world that makes sense; thus they create for the reader the very possibility of meaning, even prior to assigning any specific determination to that meaning

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of many parks, particularly those that aim to preserve extensive natural areas is twofold. First, to protect the natural environment within the park boundaries and, secondly to provide the public with recreational opportunities. Often these two purposes clash in a dynamic growing community; such is the situation that exists for the parks case- studied for this thesis. Perhaps, in order to balance the dual and somewhat opposing mandates, a new paradigm or approach to park planning and design should be considered. One that seeks to balance the fragile and complex ecosystems found within parks and their connection to the regional environment, while recognizing the recreational pressure exerted by the community.
Standard approaches to planning, engineering, and construction are often employed in various types and sizes of parks across Canada. As a result, infrastructure and facilities often create generic spaces, which seem out of context and character for the area. Park facilities, infrastructure and connections should ultimately protect fragile
environments; respond to the ecology of the park and the character of the place.
This thesis explores these dilemmas and seeks to provide an example of how a landscape
ecology approach can be applied to three conservation parks—Thetis Lake, Francis/King and Mill Hill Regional Parks on southern Vancouver Island in the Capital Regional District. This area, which includes the capital city of Victoria, is experiencing rapid development. As a result, the three regional parks used as a case study for this thesis are facing the pressure of increased visitorship. Now that more recreational demands have been placed on the park the antiquated facilities, plus the fact that the park infrastructure and design was based on previous uses, have started to show their inadequacies. Essentially the parks' imageablility, recreational carrying capacity and ecology are the key components that are suffering. Perhaps an alternative approach
to planning and design can enhance and contribute to the healthy ecological function of these parks, and at the same time meet the increased recreational demands and convey the image that these parks are essentially conservation parks.Applied Science, Faculty of
