Lauer, Camille. "Peter Pan et la clinique du vide : étude psychanalytique et phénoménologique des états limites." Paris 7, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA070007.
Full textContemporary clinical studies show significant incrasing of "up to the edge" pathologies, beyond "borderline". According to this surprising observation, we will cross psychoanalysis and phenomenology, to understand better borderline statement what is emptiness in the Peter Pan character in perspective with his creator's life and work, James Matthew Barrie. Maybe Peter Pan was actually born on the day when Barrie's elder brother, David, died. He is six and he'll be affected in his own entire life. Indeed Barrie won't stop trying to comfort his destroyed mother. He will vanish as a subject, just in order to exist in his mother's eyes. Unsuccessfully trying to replace his dead brother, he could just embody void, absence, so he lives in the dread of growing up, and raise the age of his brother's death. Peter Pan, victim of his mother's desertion, that will ruin his psyche, can't since then ; no more take any risk in otherness. This absence seems to be an unfathomable well, a pitiless or edgeless well that engulfs, swallows, the all. Forced to live together after their both psychic death, Peter Pan and Barrie make us face very painfully questions : how is it possible to live with no existence in the other's eyes ? How is it possible to die if one has never been existed ? Engulfed by emptiness, Peter Pan will allow us to imagine this emptiness, through the profile of melancholia, and embodying of "what is not living". In loneliness and in dread of any symbol of oldness, with a high speed lifestyle in time and space, searching for extreme feelings, holding a false self-construction, allowing him to keep away from unbearably paintful feelings, Peter Pan is highly modern. Peter Pan will allow us the use of a clinical approach, I'd call : void clinical search. These singular patients make us face their pain : a desert living perception of the world. In a shade of melancholia, appears to us the dark desperate side of Narcissus, the one sinking in the edge of his own image
Khiouich, Aziz. "Analyse de la relation entre anxiété situationnelle précompétitive (ASP) et performance sportive : une étude auprès des footballeurs et coureurs marocains." Thesis, Bordeaux, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014BORD0322/document.
Full textIf the relationship between anxiety and performance has been the subject of numerous studies in sports psychology, diversity of results makes it difficult to conclude as to the exact nature of this relationship, particularly in view of taking into account the existence different forms of anxiety (cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, self-confidence) and the variety of methods employed to measure. This research, conducted among a sample of Moroccan athletes consisting of footballers and middle distance runners short (800 and 1500 meters), therefore proposes to deepen the knowledge about the relationship between precompetitive situational anxiety (ASP) and athletic performance while taking into account, in several specific studies, the main limitations identified and recommendations made in the scientific literature. A preliminary study will primarily assess the psychometric properties of the different measures of anxiety and positive affective states, to test the existence of links between these measures and determine whether they can be linked to certain sports characteristics. A second study will propose to determine whether ASP predictors factors can be considered stable or on the contrary they depend on the performance of implementation context, distinguished by the good performance of poor performance. A third study to identify key predictors of athletic performance will attempt to determine the respective weight of dispositional characteristics, experiences and past performances and emotional states while differentiating the objective performance indicators and subjective performance indicators. A fourth study will propose to test the effectiveness of a specific program of preparation on anxiety and positive emotional states as well as sports performance.The results, based on the consideration of the most valid ASP measures, show that (1) the predictors of ASP are not the same when the sport is experiencing good performance or poor performance; (2) cognitive ASP allows much better to predict athletic performance that characteristics of personality or past performance, and (3) VMBR type of mental preparation programs appear to be effective to reduce the level of ASP sports and improve their subjective performance.These results, discussed in light of the available scientific knowledge on this subject and the limitations inherent in the methodologies used in the context of this research will provide recommendations for the improvement of the psychological preparation of Moroccan athletes

Full textThe period 1876-1919 constitutes a turning point in the history of American education: rapid social changes in American society carried with them implications for a new conception of education; a radically new vision of the role of schooling emerged. In a few decades, the educational system of the United States adopted new methods and ideas: the ideals of a teacher-centered education, of an academic curriculum and of a liberal education given to all students that had been the staples of education for many generations shifted to those of meeting children's needs, of a child-centered education tied to democracy. This shifting of the center of gravity in American education represented a revolution that the philosopher John Dewey considered to be copernican. This doctoral thesis traces the evolution of this major shift in American education. It aims at understanding and explaining the origins and founding principles of progressive education that wrought these massive changes in American education between 1876 and 1919. Furthermore, it aims at showing how these principles may have exerted an impact in America's schoolrooms

Full textThis thesis dissertation, entitled: couple and male migration in Solis Valley (Temascalcingo, state of Mexico) concern affective and economical, relation within the couple. We studied the male migration through two main axes: money (revenues called « remesas ») and affectivity. These two concepts have consequence on behavioural modes and attach values and norms to each gender. They determine couple relations at distance. Through couple's experience we have built the affective and economical processes a which are linked to male migration. We analyze the men's departures, the separation, the border crossing, the time of reciprocal wait, the come back and the situation of breaking too. We also show the consequences, the men's absence living above in the personal life and in the couple life. The economical advantages of migration are analyzed within the contradiction of the human ambition, in which the affectivity play a major role. Some of couple experience social rise at material and economical level while they have difficulty in restablishing a conjugal affective links some others have reason affective links and departing to the North, looks for adding an economical value to their couple life. For these couple of Solis Valley reconciliating this two aspects, economical and affectivity, is the main challenge

Full textThis thesis is a cross-national study on core values in the three countries of North America: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The notion of value, such as it is used here, has its sociological meaning: the collective preferences of the people concerning specific subjects. The values analyzed here have been chosen mainly by the intuitive conviction s that they reflect the most crucial differences among the three countries of this study. The analyses performed show two types of findings: - concerning most of the variables, the significative differences are explained by the national characters or by the origins of the three countries. - concerning some variables, the significative differences are explained by social factors, such as age, education or income. These three societies cluster around three main axes: 1. Individual and community (values concerning the relationship between the individuals and the society). 2. Liberalism and authoritarianism (political values). 3. Attitudes and values regarding the work

Full textThis thesis defines libertarianism as an utopian radicalization of classical liberal thought. It has three aims : to identify the historical origins of libertarianism, to explore its theoretical foundations, and to survey the various forms it has assumed in Americal political life, assessing their strategic implications. Part One traces a genealogy of libertarian thought from the founding era and recounts the contemporary history of the movement since the 1950s. Part Two investigates the diverse epistemological frameworks (neoclassical, Austrian, and objectivist) and normative orientations (consequentialist, deontological, and virtue-ethical) of libertarian thought, and then explores the various visions of society that emerge from this theoretical multiplicity. Part Three argues that the libertarians' quest for influence in the 1980s led to a subsequent fragmentation of the movement, and surveys the political and intellectual strategies used to disseminate libertarian thought

Full textShared between several fields of competence, the historiography on Gregorian chant underlines, in a heterogeneous manner, the question of its puissance. Writers over time have focused on different aspects such as the liturgy, music philosophy or theory, anthropology of religions, chant practise and its scientific publishing. Because of this, the scientific corpus provides a fragmented vision, not permitting a clear and homogeneous understanding of the phenomenon of liturgical chant operating inside the medieval context. A thorough study of the performativity of Gregorian chant according to the Carolingian sources appears necessary to understand the notion of the puissance invested in liturgical chant as described by the philosophes, liturgists, theorists and pedagogues from this period. The study of manuscript Carolingian traditions relative to liturgical chant allows to distinguish between three schools of thought, each with their own reflexions corresponding to distinct finalities. Historically, the first, which emerges from the reflexion on Gregorian chant, is based on the six books of the De musica by Augustine (354-430). The second school of thought arising from the study of texts on Gregorian chant is related to hermeneutic literature on liturgy. The third school of thought emerges at the beginning of the Carolingian period with the birth of the first didactic treatises on liturgical chant in the manuscript tradition
Landaeta, Mardones Patricio Alfonso. "Implicancias políticas de la idea de geofilosofía de Deleuze y Guattari." Paris 8, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA083879.
Full textCe travail de recherche présente l'étude des enjeux politiques de l'idée de géophilosophie conçue par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari. La clé de lecture qui nous permet de comprendre la dimension politique de celle-ci, nous la trouvons dans la relation "immanence et cité", rapport proposé spécifiquement dans la dernière collaboration des deux penseurs "Qu'est-ce que la philosophie ?". Chez Deleuze et Guattari, depuis sa naissance en Grèce, la cité offre un milieu inédit pour la pensée et la vie libre des citoyens. Afin de comprendre la valeur de ce milieu qui fait que la philosophie devient "géophilosophie", différentes disciplines sont étudiées : politique, histoire, philosophie, architecture, etc. La synthèse de cette étude peut se lire ainsi : si la cité émerge en tant que milieu ou atmosphère pour la philosophie, c'est parce que celle-ci rend possible l'hétérogénéité et le conflit tant pour la pensée que pour la vie pratique ou citoyenne. Cependant, en même temps, le conflit et l'hétérogénéité apparaissent aux yeux de la métaphysique (qui naît avec Platon) sous la figure de la menace qui doit être contenue ou bien expulsée de la cité afin de conserver l'ordre de la parole et des mouvements des âmes des individus, c'est-à-dire l'ordre qui doit régner dans l'espace de la "cité politique". A partir de ces remarques, nous analysons trois moments historiques : le monde grec, la Renaissance et la modernité, le monde contemporain. Le but est de comprendre la tension existant entre l' "ordre-organisme" et le "conflit-hétérogénéité". Spécifiquement, le fait qu'essaie de rendre compréhensible notre recherche, c'est d'une part le contrôle de l'hétérogénéité à travers le discours et la mise en place de l'organisme au moment de penser et planifier la cité et, d'autre part, l'expression du conflit en tant que devenir de l'immanence
This research presents a lecture of the political challenges of the idea of geophilosophy conceived by Deleuze and Guattari. The perspective that guides this thesis is lead by the relationship of "immanence and city" presented in "What is philosophy?" - the last piece of collaborative work by the two philosophers. In their own words, the city creates and offers a medium to the philosophical thought, a sort of "environment" or "atmosphere" since being developed in Greece, a radical immanence and heterogeneity through it a common place. Given this, to understand the value of this medium that converts philosophy in geophilosophy, multiple references will be presented and analysed. We can synthesize this approach in the following words: if the city appears for philosophy as a medium or atmosphere, it is because those make possible both heterogeneity and conflict, the fundamental elements of thought and citizen praxis. But at the same time, in front of Plato's Metaphysics, the conflict and heterogeneity emerges as a menace that must be controlled, domesticated or expelled of the perfect city to reach the conservation of the order of words and the order of movements of the souls of the individuals, the superior order that must govern the city. We decide to take this argument between these two approaches of the city and conflict to analyse three moments in history: the Greek world, the Renaissance and Modernity, and finally the contemporary world. The reason for this is found in what we think is important to be remarked: the tension between "order-organism" and "conflict-heterogeneity". Our research tries to understand and explain on the one hand the control of heterogeneity through the conception and practice of organism in philosophy and urbanism, on the other hand, the expression of conflict a singular becoming of immanence
Coëffé, Vincent. "Touristicité idéale : Hawaii, un parcours utopique." Rouen, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003ROUEL450.
Full textHawaii is a name which signifies a topophilia. This place can be analised as a geosymbol of some spatial archetypes, the paradise and the island (tropical). It's an utopian place, an idealised elsewhere , actualised by the practice of tourism and its social values. Beneath the name has been made up a complicated territorial palimpest, in the way of antetouristic realities. Touristification set in Honolulu in the middle of the nineteenth century, by the most urban place, and spead over Waikiki, which was rirreversibly pushed towards touristic urbanity in the 1920s. Despite the urbanistic transformation of this place, hula, surf, and the cosmopolitan sociabilities have been maintained and diversified. Waikiki would be an ideal City, an edge city heming an empty ocean, highlighted symbolically by and for concrete limit which gathers the diversity and circulates the identity

Full textThis study intends to note down the representations of alterity in the american science fiction movies from 1925 to 1995 and to shed light on their motivations and significations from an anthropological, cultural and aesthetical point of view. As a central criterion, the image of the other allows to tackle all the imaginary stereotypes of those movies (futurist and utopian worlds, travels beyond time and space, extraterrestrials, monsters, robots, mutant people) and to initiate a research of sources on them. The influence of the social and political history of the united states or the science fiction litterature and the iconography of the pulp magazines is of course quite obvious, but the cultural elements that this specific kind of cinema borrows from the dimension of myths and religions (judeo-christianism) stand, as surprising it may be, for the most important result of this study. The american science fiction movies thus appear to be defined not only by the "phenomenon of science" (science fiction is contemporary with the industrial revolution), but also by the numerous "cryptoreligious" references they contain, a sort of irrational counterweight to their pseudo-scientific and technological framework. Ethology, psychoanalysis and the study of phobia can finally clarify remaining aspects that an approach by the cultural imbuing, not to say heritage cannot explain

Full textThis work analyses Dewey’s theory of thought and knowledge. It shows some of its implications for contemporary philosophical debates. To this extent, considerable attention has been given to Dewey’s logic and epistemology. This we do especially in the first part of the work, where Dewey’s image of thought is exposed and discussed in the light of recent interpretations. This image is further analysed in the second part, through the discussion of Dewey’s theory of judgment, that we place at the heart of his philosophical project. This grounding has made possible the further inquiry on the bearing of Dewey’s logic and epistemology on contemporary theory, especially for what concern the place of agency and practice in the explication of the nature of thinking and knowledge. From there, we show the philosophical relevance of pragmatism in philosophy but also in the social and human sciences, wherever the question of the nature of thinking and knowledge is in question

Full textDoes a kind of individualism marks the present configuration of industrial societies? Nobert Elias emphasizes the control of behavior under the effect of "civilization"; can this thesis be associated with Tocqueville's viewpoint developed in democracy in America? Is "democracy" an extension of an increased "domestication" of conduct? Does "individualism" give us a better understanding of the supposed phenomena of internalization? From fieldwork done in the Silicon Valley (United States), and the Cholet area (France), we compare the ways the individual thinks about him or herself and about others. The relation from the self to the self and the self to others, the beliefs and experiences of "mental pathology", seen as revealing objects, bring out the "normal duty" that everyone ascribes to himself or herself in the two societies considered, in the californian study, the "democratic mode of thought" dominates, characterized by a unity of representations, the discharge of the collective and the individual to personal will and choice, mental illness is seen as a "problem", "from within", a "public thought" dominates implicating a strong demand on the self. In the french study, there is a dualism; from one side, the "cultivated thought", caracterized by the serious, resembles the democratic model, but exists in relation to a "popular thought" in which illness is seen as a "symptom" coming "from outside", ambivalent and comic

Full textThis reflexion postulates a conceptual invention of secondary education which differs from a historical invention. The study of the debates which followed the development of reforms or laws on secondary education in welfare states, demonstrates that the twentieth century is the century of the philosophical invention of secondary education. This invention materializes in the formation of national models of secondary education. This work proposes to compare the French Republican model to the English liberal model, the nationalist German model, the idealistic italian model, the liberal model of the United States of America and the social democratic Finnish model. Throughout the twentieth century, these national models, with different cultural and ideological traditions, face,with common issues regarding the reception and education of adolescence. This reflexion extends to the entry into the twenty-first century, highlighting an international model of secondary education, which tends to influence – or even to dissolve – the national models. The successive processes of democratization and modernization, feminization and coeducation, equal opportunities and implementation of the comprehensive school, are interpreted as three phases of a philosophical invention of the secondary education and as three moments constituting national models of secondary education ; models which are in danger at entry into the twenty-first century

Full textTerritorial Foresight Studies, developed in France at the end of the 1960s based on the application of philosopher Gaston Berger’s work to territorial management, has today become an area for numerous approaches at the state level as well as at the level of regional and local authorities. This thesis proposes to question the meaning of the heterogeneous practices to which it has given rise, and undertake, to that end, to denaturalize Foresight Studies which have become, in their various translations into the mechanisms of public decision, an “object” of imprecise outline. We propose to understand Foresight Studies, first presented by Berger as a “rational technique” working to render action effective for Man, as an “instrument of governmentality”, or again, an “instrument of public action” productive of norms (and in particular territorial norms), as well as to underline the consequences of the metamorphoses in political regulation on the state of this “foresight tool” and its effects. As a cognitive rationality (a mode of knowledge about territory), territorial foresight appears, on the one hand, to prepare for a return to the anthropological question: it becomes societal, ever more attentive to spatial practices; yet as political rationality (a mode of institutional and territorial administration), its approaches become, on the other hand, the site at which are tested democratic categories still tied to the modern ideal of territory. Evidently, the examination of apparatuses of territorial foresight are of interest for the analysis of the spatial dimension of political action, as well as for the evolutionary modalities of public action

Full textWe assume that current telecommunication systems perform better than those of centuries past. That said, an in-depth understanding of prior communication technologies, such as the telegraph, allows for a better understanding of the specificities of adoption and use of modern communication technologies, as well as their presence in popular culture. By revisiting this history, within the context of current reflection, it becomes possible to better grasp the evolution of modern telecommunications.This comparative study of the drafting of a telegraph project and the creation of a telegraph imaginary in France and the United States has a dual goal: to show the extent to which the arrival of the telegraph modified the communicational landscape on both a physical and symbolic level; to identify the invariants in French and American networks. In this way, the telegraph’s role in the evolution of our communication tools, as well as the complexity of our relationship with them is highlighted. I have used different approaches in order to conduct this analysis. First, I look at the negotiations between telegraph promoters and policy makers. Secondly, I look at the development of a telegraph imaginary and social uses. The introduction of the telegraph brought about a fundamental change: the transformation of information into a good. This had a lasting impact on world markets, mentalities and the symbolic meaning attached to communication networks. The arrival of the telegraph also led to a fundamental cognitive shift. The mental representation of the physical world was modified. The telegraph, therefore, changed people’s perceptions of their communicational reality
Constantinesco, Thomas. "Ralph Waldo Emerson : l'Amérique à l'essai - lectures de l'oeuvre en prose." Paris 7, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA070049.
Full textUpon his death in 1882, Ralph Waldo Emerson had already become a literary monument and was recognized as a founding figure of American culture. Published in 1837, "The American Scholar" is indeed hailed by many to be America's "intellectual Declaration of Independence. " However, if the "Belles Lettres" did contribute to creating the representation of a common imaginary whereby the American nation could invent itself and if, in the course of the nineteenth century, America wrote itself into existence, such an enterprise remained largely the province of fiction. Yet Emerson was always suspicious of fiction, which for him rhymed with illusion, choosing instead to write non-fictional prose, and more particularly essays. Contrary to some of his contemporaries who turned tales, romances, and novels into indigenous genres, free at last from the shackles of European Letters, Emerson turned towards the genre of the essay and made it one of America's privileged forms of literary expression. This thesis thus offers to read Emerson's essays as so many ways of approaching what "Experience" describes as "this new yet unapproachable America," considering them as the locus where the American democracy repeatedly writes and rewrites its social compact and continuously reinvents itself. By the same token however, and despite Emerson's aversion for fictional forms, the essays yield to the desire for fiction that haunts them in secret and become what he called "romances of character," fashioning the character of America's representative men even as the letters, the characters, take shape on the page

Full textAs a versatile director who switches from one genre to another very smoothly, Steven Spielberg is too often reputed to be a very talented filmmaker though one of simple if not poor ideas. However a close scrutiny of his films shows a genuine depth of thought. A confirmed humanist, Spielberg is yet obsessed with the inhuman – in the many forms of the non-human, man’s negation and man’s overcoming – displaying a whole array of figures of inhumanity. From a methodological viewpoint, if a philosophical approach of cinema has been here favoured, arguments are also based on generic contextualizations and film analysis. This survey leads us to investigate man’s relations to otherness, nature and the universe. The process brings out an optimism tinged with pessimism, some light veiled with darkness. The study of a circumscribed corpus of films allows to reveal both a nuanced ethics and a metaphysics, simultaneously full of confidence and fraught with uncertainty. Far from any dogmatic stance, the Spielbergian humanism believes in man while expressing lucidity as to the latter’s ability to reconcile with himself and the world

Full textThe term of transparency is highly polysemic, which is why it is so easily and widely used, but is also the reason why it is difficult for this idea to retain a clear conceptual status. The present work argues for a strong concept of transparency, looking for its main meanings and uses in the field of American politics, in the different theoretical systems that claimed it - or part of it - when the concept proved necessary for the idea of America (particularly liberalism, republicanism, Puritanism, common sense philosophy). The concept of transparency helps explaining why, from their birth, the United States thought of themselves as America, a mythical nation of nature
Kim, Eunju. "La causalité imaginaire chez Spinoza." Thesis, Lyon, École normale supérieure, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012ENSL0726.
Full textThe notion of cause is the alpha and omega of Ethics. But it appears mostly in an oblique way: through "the idea of an external cause" that accompanies the derived passions. The cause, imagined assignable, is actually no more assignable. As the individual is complex, it is difficult to disentangle what is happening in it from the exterior, from what is produced by the interior. In passion, one is modified unwittingly to become a subject of what happens to him, and understand the cause of this change under the form of a story. This imaginary dynamics, I call it "imaginary causality" and explain it in mechanical terms. I establish first the key features of Spinoza’s mechanics: the ontological positivity of each idea (acting nature); the multiplicity of referential frames that intersect at a single nature (envelopment); and the concept of the individual as originally composed (nesting individuals). The coexistence of these referential frames around only one of them, this is precisely what constitutes the structure of imaginary causality, and the variation of their proportion, its actual content. In accordance with this structure, I apply "conatus", self-preservation principle, to ideas or affects at first, to show that desire, actual essence of a man, is a complex of affects which, as individuals themselves, mediate the influence of others. It turns out that imaginary causality is the very mechanical causality, concerning the complex individuals. Finally, while I refer to Freudian psychic causality, I attempt to outline a new concept of the unconscious: as relation without a subject or structure without a center

Full textIt is during the age of Revolutions that the career of Thomas Paine (1737-1809) as a political writer unfurled. His first significant writing, Common Sense, published in January 1776, put forward a programme which was revolutionary in two ways : he established representative democracy as the only legitimate political regime, and thus, he altered the meaning of the concepts of revolution, constitution and republic, relying on an interpretation of the social contract theory which excluded all monarchical or aristocratic, in a word, hereditary elements from the political sphere. Studying his thought in relation to the theories of his time enables one to get the full measure of its originality. A pioneer, therefore, at the same time liberal and republican, he defended the equality of political rights, especially universal suffrage. His conception of revolution was that of a moderate who did not yield to anarchism or to communism. However, he was more successful in the theorization of revolution than in the historiography of the Revolutions, as Rights of Man notably proves. A foe of royalty, he nonetheless remained faithful to his humanism which led him to ask for the banishment of Louis XVI and his family in America. He was part of the circle of the Girondin thinkers and he was a victim of the Terror, though he escaped the guillotine. In 1802, he went back to the United States, disappointed by his European revolutionary experience, with France groaning under new chains and Great Britain having refused to follow the example of the men of 1789, but his hostility to Edmund Burke's views never ceased, so convinced he remained that the enjoyment of liberty for all was a perpetual political horizon

Full textAround 1960 in america, the abstract expressionist painters were concerned with about the gesture and the resolution of painting and drowing upon the flat surface. But durings the 1960s, the minimalists, reinhardt, stella, judd and ryman, introduces the epistemological form of painting what stands as a commitment to literalness and simplicity. From 1957, a numbre of korean paintres trys to the abstract painting under the influence of american painting. However, theirs paintings does not arrive their owen sens. They falls down a mannerism in abstract painting. About 1969 in korean, the definition of art from lee u-fan that is inspired with the non-agitation gives rise to the important argumnent for the peinters. In this way, for the knowledge of the non-agitation, we must study about the oriental speculation : the tao and the non-being and what we add the creativity spirit resonance and the only trace of painting

Full textEurope gradually became, in the eyes of the Americans, a counter-model. The discrepancies between the United States and Europe result from a political and cultural caesura which was hidden from the beginning of the Cold war by the imperatives of bipolarity.The study of the anthropological foundations of the West highlights the theological, legal and logical unity of Europe and America from the Antiquity to the Enlightenment. The birth of the Western civilisation takes place at the intersection of the orbit of the romano-canonical civil law and that of Christianity.These discrepancies between Europe and the United States actually took shape from the origins of the political modernity. All the essential points of political philosophy – the links between religion and enlightened thinking, secularism, the conceptions of freedom and equality, the relationship between republic and democracy, the foundations of the political and social Prometheism – are areas of divergence.Concerning the post-modernity, we will then show how the liberal philosophy recycled pseudo-revolutionary ideas which led Europe to a manifold crisis, a type of nihilism, hidden by the disguise of the generalized commodification and the libertarian ideology. Unlike postmodern Europe, America partially managed to escape from these dynamics of disintegration. The “indispensable nation” managed to preserve the American national style the main characteristics of which are patriotism and religiosity
Tunç, Serpil. "Justice en tant que loi, justice au-delà de la loi : Hobbes, Derrida et les Critical Legal Studies." Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCC003.
Full textThe thesis aims at an examination of the relationship between justice, rights and laws. To do that, first part of the thesis wishes to investigate Thomas Hobbes, namely the chief representative of positivist jurisprudence, who considers justice to be a naturel law the enforcement of which is to be guaranteed alone by the sovereign. Thus, that leads justice to a circular relation between positive laws, power and violence. In so far as it is the notion of sovereignty that brings justice into the circular relation constituted by positive laws, power and violence. Rather than criticizing the notion of sovereignty, this work, taking another approach, wishes to focus on Jacques Derrida who tries to deconstruct sovereignty. Accordingly, the second part concerns the influential proposition "the deconstruction is justice" stated by Derrida against Hobbes, on behalf of defending a justice beyond the law. While developing a notion of justice that is beyond the law, Derrida has no intention to deny the necessity of the law as such. So we are confronted with a paradox consisting of fact that we must both deconstruct the law and remain within its boundaries. It is exactly where we begin to pose the question of how this paradox is could be taken into account in the juridical domains of application. (Jurists, professors and theoreticians of law) It is for that reason that, the third part of the thesis investigates the two generations of the Derridean influence on Critical Legal Studies(CLS), originated in United-States

Full textHysteries, visionaries, zealot, shammers, simpletons or even sadomasochists are a few words or phrases among others which were or still are used by those in authority, the historians, the theologists, the philosophers including doctors to qualify the 18th century people who miraculously recovered and the Jansenist Convulsionaries from Paris. Unearthed with thousands of documents related to this phenomenum, the compendium of speeches, letters and Sister Brigitte’s visions which come along with her spiritual advisor the oratorian Father Michel Pinel enable us to get to the heart of the convulsionary imagination and to develop many items which used to be left heart or little considered due to narrow investigations. Bodies, gestures, voices give these men and women the opportunity to be accepted in a world seems to wonder from the truth, Their Truth. Reexamined by same subjects which so far had often been left out by historians, this disconcerting and fascinating period of time is part of an eventful history, to the extent it may lose its deepest meanings; this moment gives a real boost to a better understanding of that century which can be restricted, far from it, to the Age of the Enlightenment or “raison triomphante”

Full textThis PhD thesis addresses the presence of night in films and what it might express of a relation to the world.The research part of the thesis identifies two epistemological positions expressing connections between night and day (and between the subject and the world) in either a dualistic opposition or in a belonging (or holistic) relationship.The conceptual tools taken from Merleau-Ponty’s existential phenomenology (perception, body, flesh) give theoretical basis to the intuitions in the creative process. Moreover, the concepts of the hermeneutic current of the analytic philosophy help to redefine the links between documentary cinema, reality and world.The corpus studied includes Pan American Exposition by night (Porter & Smith, 1901), supposedly the first film shot in exterior night, Double Indemnity (Wilder, 1944) and Lady from Shanghai (Welles, 1945), showing that film noir diverts the codes of Hollywood without challenging its dualism, Shadows (Cassavetes, 1959) which exemplifies the turn initiated by the Nouvelles Vagues in the relation to cinematographic night and, finally, Elegy of a Voyage (Sokourov, 2001), which proposes a holistic approach to night.The creation part of this thesis consists of a documentary film, NIGHTS. Pertaining to the “creation documentary” current, the film, instead of explaining concepts, evokes the sensorial experience of diverse nocturnal states.Devoted to the production process of the film, a chapter of the thesis connects its theoretical and creative parts by examining the embodiment of theory in the film as well as the contribution of the creative work to the theoretical reflection

Full textAt the beginning of the nineteenth century, the southeastern Indian nations — the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles and Cherokees—were an exception in the American landscape because of their outstanding acculturation. Ever since the colonial era, the Indians strategically adapted their culture to that of the colonists so they could weigh in the economic and diplomatic interplay that took place between the two communities. When the federal government implemented the so-called "civilization" program, based on the idea that Indians could be integrated to American society, it relied on this long-standing cultural adaptation. Taking the notion of "strategic mimesis" as a starting point, in order to highlight the role played by the Indians themselves in redefining their own identity, this study aims at analyzing the agency of the southeastern Indians in the making of the early American republic. More specifically, the extent to which this strategic imitation developed by the Indians had an impact on the federal Indian policy between 1815 and 1861 is here discussed. Despite the tensions that appeared within the nations, due to this phenomenon of cultural transformation, it seems that the Indian nations reinvented themselves during the period studied here, in adopting a state-making institutional apparel. In this context, Indian removal, initiated by Andrew Jackson in 1830, implied an unprecedented process. While appropriating American culture and institutions, the relocated Indian nations also partook of the making of the West, and had the United States reflect on its very construction and expansion
Gómez, Granda Pablo Andrés. "Matériau et forme pour rien : essai critique sur l'architecture et la notion de dispositif." Thesis, Paris 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA010589/document.
Full textThis Ph.D thesis examines and discusses the notion of dispositif (device) such as it emerged within the contemporary French philosophy, mainly in Michel Foucault's and Gilles Deleuze's works. Its intention is to criticize the association in architecture of the structural and the organization, to propose an architectural practice less dedicated to the assemblages of environments, but which facilitates situations of freedom. For that purpose, this thesis studies the notions of form and function in architecture from a philosophical order reasoning on the "material". Three moments of a possible history on the material are considered. In the first two moments, dedicated to the concrete, and "small" materials respectively, architecture appears in its connection to a mode of the industry and to a labor economy. In the third moment, it is shown how the staging and fiction can contribute to transforming materials into dispositifs. On this base, we move, on the one hand, to strip the notion of form from the functional significations that surround it, while on the other hand, we put in tension Michel Foucault's reading proposed by Giorgio Agamben, putting into context the concepts and the suggestions implied in it, in regards to economy. Ali this work is indissociably architectural and philosophical. Its purpose is to establish the essential character, for both demains of thought, of the notion of an aimless form or "form for nothing ". This notion can be related to an architecture of the "discontinuity" whose materials are neither in harmony with the structure nor the power of the dispositifs

Full textThis thesis problematizes of the concept of alterity, here defined as the cultural construction of difference, and studies the aesthetic and generic expression of alterity in the works of the American writer Djuna Barnes. Barnes's highly ambiguous "oeuvre" defies clear-cut categorisation, a fact compounded by the unconventional nature of her subject matter and the innovatory discursive strategies employed throughout the texts. Barnes's writing tends towards the subversion of both cultural codes and sexual paradigms, and underlines the divisions at the heart of all inscriptions of identity. Above all, underlying the questions posed in the course of Barnes's narratives, questions pertaining to the identity, and more specifically the gender identity of the subject, is a highly unique yet pertinent expression of the crisis of modernity. The internal contradictions of modernism, especially those relative to the status of male artist, often obscured in traditional readings of this current, reveal themselves with unusual clarity in Barnes's "late modernist" works

Matte, Nicolas. "Les Vies parallèles de la Cité." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0117.
Full textThis thesis interweaves three readings of the Parallel Lives inspired by three definitions of the Bios given by Plutarch : an ethical reading that compares the moral dispositions of Greeks and Romans, a political reading that puts the particular character of each city in relief, and a poetic 01 philosophical reading that draws a parallel between two experiences of the same form of common life: the City. The first chapter establishes Plutarch's ethical reading of the end of the City b> drawing a parallel between two ambitions that had similar means and ends but opposite consequences for Greece and Rome (Alexander/Caesar). In order to grasp the political difference between the two Cities - a difference that explains Rome's transformation into an Empire as virtus and libertas lost their attraction to its citizens, the second chapter examines the constitutive dynamics of the City through the men who first shaped them in Athens and Rome (Solon/Publicola) The third chapter develops a reading of the City's beginning as already containing the likely cause of the gradual divorce between virtus in action and virtus in speech that came to shape a new form of life under the Empire (Theseus/Romulus). In sum, our reading of the Parallel Lives defines a political science organized by the articulation of two specific experiences of the City, which in turn clarify the significance of Plutarch's subsequent influence on European and American life

Full text“Mulholland Drive” (2001) is a major turning point in David Lynch’s cinematographic career. This Hollywood metafilm, created from the remains of an unaired television series, disorients its audience by its heterogeneous aspect and narrative structure. On one hand, Lynch uses multiple forms of contrast (thematically and pictorially) to offer the spectator a singular experience of cinema, in which sensations and emotions play the major part. On the other hand, in following the tradition of Hollywood metafilms, David Lynch wonders about the history of cinema and the essence of cinematographic images in our contemporary society, in which new forms of images are being created with digital cameras. Between genres (film noir, thriller, fantastic) and European film (Bergman, Godard), “Mulholland Drive” remembers ancient cinematographic images and tries to anticipate the metamorphosis of cinema…

Full textThe topic of this study is Faulkner's imagery, considered as a specific language. Using concepts derived from structuralist and formalist criticism, this essay attempts to describe the vocabulary and syntax that characterize Faulkner's imagery, in order to determine the rules that explain the co-presence of some of these images within a specific textual unit and how they evolve as the narrative develops. The analysis focuses on defining a seminal signifying unit, both descriptive and narrative, out of which Faulkner's imagery unfolds through a complex network of reformulations and variations. Systematic textual study allows us to explore the various images that recur in Faulkner's poetry and fiction from 1919 to 1942: characters (mother and father images, lovers, doubling figures), settings (pastoral landscapes, ruins, rivers, the wilderness, etc. ) but also types of narratives (love quests, flight situations, confrontations, monument building, etc. ). The purpose of this analysis is to shed light on the relations that connect Faulkner's images and how these help create meaning in the text
Doughty, James. "Pragmatism and Christian Realism in the Political Thought of Reinhold Niebuhr : An Analysis and Evolution of American Liberalism." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BOR30026/document.
Full textThis work aims to analyze the political thought of the American theologian and political scientist Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971). More specifically, it will analyze the way in which Pragmatism was able to influence Niebuhr’s writings. Critical towards the liberal idealism of John Dewey (1859-1952), Niebuhr’s Christian realism was a counter against the optimism that political Pragmatism demonstrated in regards to the nature of man. Despite these criticisms, Niebuhr was unable to escape Pragmatism’s influence. This influence is the reason for this research: how political Pragmatism, specifically that of John Dewey was able to have an impact on Reinhold Niebuhr’s works and his Christian realism. This thesis will study the major works of these two thinkers in order to compare the political thought of each thinker. Younger than Dewey, Niebuhr had for a long time considered Dewey’s thought as nothing more than an idealized and outdated continuation of Enlightenment optimism which was incapable of accurately analyzing the contemporary world. Nevertheless, Niebuhr was influenced by Dewey. This thesis’s goal is to highlight the influences of Pragmatism in Niebuhr’s works in order to show that Niebuhrian thought is a continuation of Dewey’s pragmatic thought, specifically through the notions of Christian Pragmatism and therefore, fits within an overall framework of American Liberalism. In spite of the fundamental differences in thought, we are going to attempt to show that Niebuhr was a part of the typically American intellectual tradition, that is to say, Pragmatism; considered to be a uniquely American philosophical movement. It will be analyzed in order to achieve a greater understanding of these important thinkers, but also, of America’s political landscape
