Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes that the systemic differential treatment of aboriginal and racial minority peoples in the criminal justice system is at least partly attributed to police racism. Discrimination, which refers to the negative treatment toward out-groups (Elliot and Fleras, 1992:330), is systemic in policing and not isolated to racial minorities. The lower class and others considered deviant are also routinely discriminated against. However, the visibility of racial minorities and aboriginal peoples makes them particularly susceptible to police actions. Because the role of policing necessitates the identification of not only criminals but also potential criminals, this identification must have visible characteristics, or cues. Consequently, the police officer comes to develop these visible characteristics to identify criminals. It is thus the visibility of racial minorities which results in their being categorized as criminal and subsequently the focus of police suspicion. Chapter one reviews the literature in other democratic countries to determine the role of police decision-making in the over-representation of aboriginals and racial minorities in the criminal justice system. Establishing the over-representation of aboriginal peoples and visible minorities in Canada, chapter two examines various explanations for this. Chapter three presents the allegations of police racism by visible minority and aboriginal peoples. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
The present paper is a literature study of stressors and the responses in police officers to occupational stressors. It endeavors to identify and assess common stressors in policing. It further aims to provide an answer to the question of whether police administrative tasks and situations, or the dangerous and traumatic events and situations inherent in policing, are perceived as equally or more stressful by surveyed police officers. The question is relevant as there seems to be disagreement among researchers on police stress about which elements (administrative or dangerous and/or traumatic) of the police occupation is more stressful. Much attention has been given to the treatment of post-traumatic stress in police officers while efforts to prevent administrative or organizational stressors have been largerly ignored. If administrative stressors in policing are equally important as dangerous and traumatic situations and events, more attention should be given to the prevention of such largerly preventable stressful events. The theoretical framework used in the study is that of the transactional concept of stress. In trying to assess what parts of policing are more stressful, a number of empirical studies were examined and compared. Most studies applied a "checklist" approach to identify and rank the heaviest stressors in police work. The methodological quality of available studies was varied, influencing their comparability and generalizability. In spite of these inequalities, the results from the assessment indicates that dangerous and traumatic situations are somewhat more often perceived as the largest stressors than administrative stressors in police work.

O presente trabalho é um estudo da poética do escritor, jornalista e militante argentino Rodolfo Jorge Walsh. Tradutor, editor e autor de relatos policiais, soube fazer da atividade literária um ato de reflexão sobre a história do seu país e da própria ação militante. Os procedimentos de escrita utilizados dentro da sua obra procuravam a eficiência persuasiva, mas também a eficiência na representação dos problemas que estavam colocados para o escritor na sua ação política. São objeto de estudo deste trabalho: a passagem do policial de enigma para o hard-boiled e o posterior abandono do subgênero; a opção pela forma breve do conto e não do romance; o abandono da escrita estritamente literária que seria retomada só nos últimos meses da sua vida -processos que coincidiram com o desenvolvimento de investigações sobre crimes de Estado e seu ingresso na militância- e a retomada da autoria, pouco antes de morrer, para a produção de uma série de cartas pessoais no contexto da ditadura que se iniciou em 1976 e da polêmica do autor com a direção da organização Montoneros, na qual militava.The present work is a study of Rodolfo Jorge Walsh\'s poetry. He was an author, a journalist and an activist. Also a translator, editor an author of police short stories. He knew how to transform the literary activity into an act of reflexion about the history of his country and the activist action itself. The writing procedures used inside his works searched not only for a persuasive efficiency, but also the efficiency in representing the problems faced by the author in his political action. They are object of study: the passage from police enigma to hard-boiled and the following desertion of the sub gender; the option for the brief form of the short story and not the novel; desertion of the writing strictly literary that would be taken up again in the last months of his life - processes that coincided with the development of State crime investigations and his participation in an activist life - and getting back the authorship, shortly before his death, into a production of personal letters in a dictatorship context that began in 1976 and the controversy of the author in relation to the direction of the Montoneros organization, for which he was an activist.

A literatura policial nasceu em um ambiente de revolução técnica que modificou profundamente o cotidiano na cidade. Essa transformação afetou a relação entre sociedade e arte, além de criar condições para o desenvolvimento da imprensa, primeiro suporte em que as narrativas do gênero foram publicadas. Ao longo de quase dois séculos, a literatura policial sofreu alterações ideológicas que a presente pesquisa retoma para traçar paralelos entre a sensibilidade contemporânea e o contexto cultural que, conforme a tese nietzschiana, possibilitou o nascimento da tragédia. Ao comparar os efeitos poéticos da tragédia e da literatura policial contemporânea, a partir da relação que têm com o racionalismo, propõe-se uma aproximação entre os dois gêneros. Nessa perspectiva, estuda-se ainda a narrativa policial como suporte da ficção contemporânea.
Police literature was born in an environment of technical revolution that changed the everyday city life profoundly. The modification affected the relation between society and art, and it also created conditions for the development of the press - the first place the police genre was to be published. During these almost two centuries, the ideology in police literature has modified. This research examines those changes so as to demonstrate similitudes between contemporary sensibility and the cultural context that allowed the birth of the tragedy, according to Nietzsche s thesis. By comparing the poetic effect in tragedy to that in police literature, and by considering their relations with rationalism, this study proposes that there is a close proximity between the two genres. Within this perspective, the police narrative is analyzed as a supporting prop in contemporary fiction.

Full textAbstract:
La presente tesis es un estudio de carácter histórico-literario que arranca con los incidentes acaecidos en Polonia a partir del 30 de enero de 1968, a raíz de que las autoridades polacas decidieran suspender la representación teatral de Dziady (Los antepasados), del poeta y dramaturgo Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855). La obra, en opinión de las autoridades, atentaba contra la amistad entre polacos y rusos. Los altercados prosiguieron durante semanas y se saldaron con el despido de numerosos profesores universitarios, la expulsión de estudiantes y el exilio forzoso de más de quince miI personas de ascendencia judía.
Los incidentes de marzo de 1968 son decisivos en tanto que determinan el inicio de la ruptura entre el gobierno comunista, visto hasta entonces por un amplio sector de la población como una figura paternalista y protectora, y la sociedad civiI polaca.
Estas divergencias ideológicas no solo afectarán al ámbito social y político del país, sino que influirán de manera decisiva sobre el desarrollo de las artes, y en especial de la poesía, la cual, a partir de este momento, además de ocuparse de cuestiones estrictamente literarias, se convertirá en la voz de la resistencia contra el poder. La nueva generación de poetas adoptará la palabra, el imperativo de "hablar claro" (mówie wprost), como un arma arrojadiza contra el gobierno comunista y una manera de entrar en el curso de las cuestiones sociales. Esta generación recibirá el nombre de Nowa Fal a (Nueva Ola).
Este punto de inflexión en las relaciones entre el gobierno de la nación y la sociedad ci vi I polaca nos acerca a la tesis que defendemos durante el presente trabajo de investigación. Podríamos enunciarla de la siguiente manera A partir de los incidentes acaecidos en marzo de 1968, la política, la filosofía y la ética se convierten en el verdadero motor de la poesía polaca. Esta influencia decisiva sobre las artes polacas, que nosotros limitamos al estudio de la lírica, comienza con dichos sucesos y se prolonga en el tiempo hasta el fin del gobierno comunista y la llegada de la democracia en 1989. Cuando Polonia se libera finalmente del comunismo,
entendido por un amplio sector de la sociedad civil polaca como la imposición de una potencia extranjera, la poesía polaca va progresivamente desligándose de esas obligaciones políticas y éticas hasta llegar a unos niveles similares a los de otros países. A partir de finales de la década de los noventa, con un proceso de transición democrática ya plenamente concluido, la poesía polaca alcanza un estado de “normalidad”, que en líneas generales se ha mantenido hasta principios del siglo XXI, fin del período descrito para este trabajo. Por lo tanto, podemos describir la evolución de la poesía polaca durante el período descrito como el paso de la ética a la estética. Para demostrar esta transformación, hemos dividido este trabajo de investigación en ocho capítulos y un anexo. A lo largo de ellos nos ocupamos de manera pormenorizada de todas las generaciones poéticas surgidas durante el período descrito, así como del estudio de sus principales voces poéticas. En ese sentido es destacable la inclusión de un anexo en forma de antología poética. La razón para incluir dicho anexo es doble. En primer lugar, trata de brindar un corpus poético suficiente para valorar y extraer conclusiones sobre los movimientos poéticos referidos en este estudio; y en segundo, se propone contribuir al número de traducciones existentes de poesía polaca contemporánea en lengua española.This work begins with the political and social disturbances, which took place in Poland in March 1968. The cause for these disturbances was the cancelIation of Dziady (Forefathers' Eve), a play by the romantic Polish writer Adam Mickiewicz (1798-1855). The play was cancelled, because the communist authorities interpreted it as an attack to the friendship between the Soviet Union and its ally, Poland. This provoked a wave of protests and demonstrations in the streets. This historical moment was significant, because it stated the beginning of discrepancies between the communist rule in Poland, no longer seen as a patriarchal figure, and Polish society. Nevertheless, apart from the social breaking-off, this moment is particularly relevant for the research, because it shows how Polish poetry became the voice of those against the communist rule. The new generation of poets, the so-called Nowa Fala (the New Wave), would take the word as a weapon against power and would adopt the ethical imperative mowic wprost (Tell the truth) as its basic principle. In this research, we defend the thesis that, as long as disturbances and demonstrations took place in the streets, politics, philosophy and ethics became the real engine for Polish poetry and the Arts, as a whole. When the end of the communist rule and democracy came to Poland, that importance began to fade until it reached similar levels to other countries. In this work, we comment on the main poets of this period, not only focusing on the New Wave, but also taking into account the following generation, Nowa Prywatnoie (New Privacy). At the beginning of the 1980's, the state of war declaration brought Poland again to the romantic tradition of sacrifice and patriotism. It was a time for hymns, Christmas carols and patriotic songs. It was not until the end of the decade, when Polish poetry recovered part of its lost independence and followed the path of a new poetic diction. With the arrival of democracy in 1989, Polish poetry experimented a great diversity, which continued until the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st . In this work, we offer a complete analysis of those poetic movements and we highlight the most important voices of each generation. Moreover, at the end of this work, we attach an appendix (an anthology), with some of the most representative works of the period translated into Spanish language.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this dissertation is to study urban domesticity in Polish film and literature against the background of the political and social transformations that have taken place in recent decades. The study begins with the so-called belle époque of the Polish People’s Republic and the decade of Edward Gierek, continues through the political upheavals, the period of martial law, and the system transformation of 1989 and the two following decades, which have been marked by the introduction of democracy, global capitalism, consumerism etc. The primary sources consist of almost thirty literary and cinematic works from various genres covering a period of forty years – twenty before the system change, and twenty after. Their common denominator is their setting in the socialist housing projects (blokowisko). The dissertation places itself in the field of geocriticism and literary/cinematic spatiality. The object of the study is the ̒social space’ (Henri Lefebvre) of the urban home, and the main analytical frames are spatial representations and narrative space, which are viewed as important in shaping both character and plot. The analysis also draws from cultural theory by Michel Foucault, Marc Augé, Mikhail Bakhtin, Mircea Eliade, and Loïc Wacquant. The dissertation detects a shift in the representations of the urban home that indicates that the home has become more private and secluded after 1989, also suggesting that a spatial and social marginalization of the socialist housing projects has occurred. These findings are interpreted as consistent with theories in human geography on changes in the perception and experience of space due to global paradigm shifts and changes in the production system.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since feminist approaches to international relations (IR) first made their appearance in the late 1980s, efforts to explain the 'gender gap' have proliferated. Gender studies within IR in particular have been focused on foreign policy opinion, seeking to discover whether men and women have different views on foreign policy simply due to the fact that they are of different genders. The correlate of this is that if women believe differently than men, in which way do they believe differently and if this were then taken to its logical end, what would happen if they were more equally responsible for foreign policy decision-making? As an illustration of the varying approaches to feminist IR, this research project undertakes a brief overview of the history of feminist IR, showing how the tools and language of traditional IR do not encompass the needs of feminist IR study. The research article then reviews the literature of gender, feminism and foreign policy beliefs and behavior, examining its research core and evolution to date. Three research questions are covered. Firstly, is gender a relevant variable in foreign policy analysis? Secondly, if yes, does it make a difference to the foreign policy beliefs of women? Thirdly, where women play a significant role in foreign policy decisionmaking, are countries more pacific on the international level? Dealt with separately, foreign policy beliefs are found to have a clear gender-based breakdown. Foreign policy behavior is less simple to approach since the dataset of countries led by women during international disputes is limited. The research project and literature review also looks forward, pointing toward the future, not only of gender and foreign policy studies but also to the implications that future developments in feminist IR may have for the study of IR.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Pogings om die geslagsgaping te verduidelik het vermenigvuldig sedert die feministiese benadering tot Internasionale Verhoudinge die eerste keer in die laat 1980's sy verskyning gemaak het. Geslagstudies binne Internasionale Verhoudinge het veral gefokus op opinies oor buitelandse beleid om sodoende vas te stelof mans en vroue verskillende sienings oor buitelandse beleid huldig bloot as gevolg van die feit dat hulle verskillende geslagte is. Die keersy hiervan is dat indien vroue anders glo as mans, op watter manier hulle anders glo, en - indien dit dan tot 'n logiese uiteinde gevoer word - wat sou gebeur indien daar meer gelyke verantwoordelikheid vir buitelandse beleidsbesluite sou wees. As 'n illustrasie van die verskillende benaderings tot feministiese Internasionale Verhoudinge, onderneem hierdie navorsingsprojek 'n oorsig van die geskiedenis van feministiese Internasionale Verhoudinge om sodoende te toon dat die gereedskap en taal van tradisionele Internasionale Verhoudinge nie aan die behoeftes van feministiese Internasionale Verhoudingstudies voldoen nie. Hierdie navorsingsartikel gee dan 'n oorsig oor geslagsliteratuur, feminisme en buitelandse beleidsopinies en -gedrag deur sy navorsingskern en evolusie tot datum te ondersoek. Drie navorsingsvrae word behandel. Eerstens, is geslag 'n relevante veranderlike in buitelandse beleidsanalise? Tweedends, indien ja, veranderdit die buitelandse beleidsopinies van vroue? Derdens, is lande meer passief op internasionale vlak waar vroue 'n wesentlike rol in buitelandse beleidsbesluitneming speel? Afsonderlik beskou, is daar gevind dat daar 'n duidelike geslagsonderskeid in buitelandse beleidsopinies is. Dis egter minder eenvoudig om buitelandse beleidsgedrag te bestudeer, aangesien slegs beperkte inligting oor lande wat gedurende internasionale dispute deur vroue beheer is beskikbaar is. Die navorsingsprojek en literatuuroorsig kyk ook vorentoe met spesifieke verwysing na die toekoms van nie net geslag en buitelandse beleidstudies nie, maar ook na die implikasies wat toekomstige verwikkelinge In feministiese Internasionale Verhoudinge 'n vir die studie van tradisionele Internasionale Verhoudinge kan hê.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on the cultural representations of the one-child policy ever since 1978. The artistic discourses about the one-child policy provide a fantastic space to explore China’s post-socialist society and contending ideologies. It also sheds light on the intricate relation between aesthetics and politics and these among the state, family and individual. Moreover, as discourses, artistic narratives and images also participate in the redefining of reproduction/one-child policy. Therefore, inquiries into the interaction between aesthetics and politics enrich our understanding of how reproductive ideals are constructed, negotiated and transformed.
This dissertation can be divided into five parts. In the introduction part, I introduce issues related to the one-child policy, materials which I use and my main approaches to interpret them. Chapter Two explores how post-1978 family planning films and novel envision the ideal reproductive lives of peasants through the construction of ideal reproductive subjects, especially ideal female models. These artistic works also show changed representations of the ideal role models. Chapter Three looks into the patriarchal reproductive subject in Mo Yan’s Frog which centers on the conflict between state power and traditional male-centric reproductive culture. Although there are ambiguities, the novel demonstrates that the state has failed to transform peasants’ traditional reproductive ideas. Chapter Four deals with women’s exploration of reproduction from the 1980s on. The writings of some female authors demonstrate a consciousness of independent female reproductive desire. In some works, we can even see the emergence of a new kind of female reproductive privacy. In these works, reproduction becomes the female protagonists’ personal, private matter and women’s subjectivity is seen in their ability to make reproductive decisions according to their own interests. In the Coda, I talk about my future research plans.
Overall, in this dissertation, I trace the political, economic, cultural, and technical factors that contribute to the gradual emergence of pluralism in reproductive ideas and practices. My dissertation demonstrates the dynamic interaction among different forces affecting reproduction, one of the most strictly controlled realms in Chinese life. Although reproduction is still mainly dictated by the state current two-child policy, a push towards greater individual autonomy is starting to gain momentum.10000-01-01

Full textAbstract:
La tesis objeto del presente resumen gira en torno, como indica su título, al legado del reportero polaco Ryszard Kapuściński, estudiado desde el punto de vista culturológico. El detallado análisis de su obra desemboca en la inscripción
de la misma en el ámbito de las ciencias humanísticas y Cultural Studies..
Dividido en tres partes (clasificación, construcción y recepción), en el trabajo se abordan, respectivamente, los tres temas foco de atención: la obra, el autor y el lector.
En “Clasificación” se estudian las obras publicadas por el autor. Al analizarlas una por una, se presta atención a cómo están construidas, cuál es su historia, cuáles son sus rasgos característicos, qué recepción tuvieron y qué crítica suscitaron. Partiendo de la perspectiva de la sociología del texto, se analiza qué cambios se produjeron en sus reediciones y por qué.
“Construcción” aborda la cuestión de la construcción creativa. El estudio se centra en la faceta de reportero de Ryszard Kapuściński, para más adelante ahondar en la génesis del reportaje polaco y compararla con su equivalente en la tradición occidental. Se continúa con un repaso de la actividad del Kapuściński autor: desde poesía y periodismo hasta filosofía y antropología pasando por historia e incluso fotografía. Se aborda asimismo su método de trabajo, estudio que lleva a la conclusión de que, más que periodista, es escritor o antropólogo, con lo que se evidencia su faceta de creador. Todo ello lleva a considerarlo el inventor del «reportaje integrador», expresión que se propone para definir su obra.
“Recepción”, como indica su título, está dedicada a la recepción de su obra en los territorios donde adquirió un mayor reconocimiento (teniendo en cuenta: el número de títulos traducidos y publicados, el de premios otorgados, la presencia de críticas de su obra en la prensa nacional, el número de ejemplares impresos vendidos, la participación en acontecimientos culturales –inauguraciones, festivales literarios, talleres, conferencias, etc. –: España, América Latina e Italia. El estudio de la recepción de la obra por parte de lectores y críticos está basado en la documentación existente (dossiers de prensa, artículos, reseñas, críticas, actas de jurados de premios, libros publicados al respecto “et similia”), en la información obtenida de primera mano de expertos capaces de explicar el fenómeno de su popularidad (personas que conocen su obra y/o que tuvieron un trato directo con el autor, sus editores, traductores, profesores de periodismo y colegas periodistas). Finalmente, se examina los rasgos que comparten España, América Latina e Italia para responder a la pregunta de «¿por qué allí y no en otra parte Kapuściński ha cosechado los mayores éxitos?». La clave para ofrecer una argumentación satisfactoria se halla en la teoría postcolonial.
La tesis es un intento de contestar a la pregunta ¿quién es Ryszard Kapuściński? Asimismo, tras analizar su obra, su biografía artística y su recepción, se acuña la definición de un nuevo subgénero para inscribir su obra.
Al tratar y analizar esta, se resaltan las etapas de su vida (con todos los condicionamientos de un polaco nacido en 1932: educación, formación, cultura) y de su trayectoria artística (cómo se fue forjando su escritura, cómo él mismo creció como autor y cómo pasó de ser un periodista, un corresponsal de una agencia de prensa, a convertirse en escritor de libros y traductor de culturas).This dissertation: Ryszard Kapuściński: Integrating View of a Reporter. Classification, Construction and Reception of His Works, examines the complete work of Ryszard Kapuściński, one of the leading figures in Polish reportage, writer of book-length reportage works, one of the most translated polish writer with worldwide recognition. It presents his work from the culturological point of view and through detailed analysis of his work, it proposes to include Kapuściński’s legacy within field of humanities and Cultural Studies. The dissertation is divided into three parts (classification, construction and reception), which addresses, respectively, three different focus of attention, i.e.: the work, the author and the reader. The first part, Classification, discuss 14 titles published by the author, i.e. (in chronological order): The Polish Bush, Black Stars, The Kirghiz Dismounts, If All Africa..., Why Karl von Spreti Died, Christ With a Rifle on His Shoulder, Another Day of Life, The Soccer War, The Emperor: Downfall of an Autocrat, Shah of Shahs, Imperium, The Shadow of the Sun, Travels with Herodotus and his cycle Lapidarium. By analysing them one by one, we pay attention to how they are constructed, what is the history of every edition, what are particular and common features of every book, how they were received by critics and readers and what critics and opinions they raised. By adopting Sociology of Texts perspective, we reveal some changes, we can observe while comparing different re-editions and we ask why. Second part, Construction, addresses the issue of creative construction and artistic creation. We first focus on Ryszard Kapuściński as a reporter, therefore, on the origins of the Polish reportage and we compare it with Western tradition of reportage. Moreover, we pay attention to Kapuściński’s activity as the author: analyzing his different inspirations, the study shifts from journalism, through history and even photography, to poetry, philosophy and anthropology. We also demonstrate his method of work, which leads us to the conclusion that, rather than a journalist, his method seems more proper of writer and/or anthropologist. Finally, we consider the author the inventor of the "Integrating Reportage," a term we propose to define his work. Third part, Reception is dedicated to the reception of Kapuściński’s works in the territories where he was most popular (taking into account: the number of translated and published titles, awarded prizes, reviews of his work in the national press, the number of printed copies sold, his participation in cultural events, openings, literary festivals, workshops, conferences, etc.), i.e., in Spain, Latin America and Italy. The reception study of his work is based on the existing documentation (such as press dossiers, articles, opinions, reviews, critics, jury final acts from numerous awards, published books etc.), and the information obtained directly from firsthand experts, able to explain the phenomenon of his popularity (people who know his work and/or had direct relationship with the author, such as his editors, translators, journalism professors and fellow journalists). Finally, similarities between his recognition in Spain, Latin America and Italy leads us to ask: "why there and not elsewhere Kapuściński has reched the biggest success?". The key to provide a satisfactory answer seems to derive from Postcolonial Theory. This thesis is an attempt to answer the question: who is Ryszard Kapuściński? Also, after analyzing his work, his artistic biography and its reception, we propose the definition of a new sub genre, which could define his entire work.

Celem rozprawy magisterskiej pod tytułem „Lalka” B. Prusa w kontekscie literatury młodopolskiej jest wprowadzenie poetyki tego utworu w kontekst literatury Młodej Polski i wyznaczenie relacji semantycznych, łączących dane arcydzieło z estetyką przełomu XIX i XX w. Osiągnięcie danego umożliwia się przy rozwiązaniu dwuch zadań, które polegają na odnalezieniu pola semantycznego Lalki wśród „izmów” literatury polskiej końca XIX w. i wyznaczeniu formuły arcydzieła literackiego w odniesieniu do danego utworu w ujęciu ogólnoteoretycznego. Wynikiem badań jest stwierdzenie, że powieść B. Prusa ma charakter prekursorski wobec utworów pisarzy młodopolskich, tak jak wprowadził kompozucję otwartą, nowy egzystencjalny modus bohatera, stworzył powieść polifoniczną i nowoczesny realizm, który łączy się na zasadzie syntezy.Magistrinio darbo B. Pruso „Lėlė” Jaunosios Lenkijos literatūros kontekste tikslas yra to kūrinio poetikos nagrinėjimas Jaunosios Lenkijos literatūros kontekste ir semantinių ryšių,jungančių tą iškilų veikalą su XIX ir XX a. sankirtos estetika, nustatymas. Pasieki šį tikslą įmanoma išsprendus dvi užduotis – ateadus Lelek semantinį lauką tarp Lenkijos XIX a. pabaigos literatūros „izmų” ir nustačius literatūros veikalo formulę šio iškilaus kūrinio atžvilgiu pagaj bendrosios teorijos sampratą. Tyrimų rezultatas yra konstatavimas, kad B. Pruso romanas palyginti su Jaunosios Lenkijos rašytojų kūriniais buvo pirmtakas, nes jame plėtojama atvira kompozicija, naujas egzistencinis herojaus vaizdavimo būdas, kuriamas polifoninis Nauru laikų realizmas, jungiamas sintezės principu.
The purpose of the Master’s thesis B. Prus’ „The Doll” in the Contex of the Young Polish Literature is the analysis of the poetics of this work in the context of Young Polish Literature and determination of the semantic connections, connecting this prominent work with the aesthetics of the transition of the 19th and 20th centuries. This goal may be achieved by solving the following two tasks – having discovered the semantic field of The Doll between the Polish literature „isms” of the end of the 19th century and having determined the formula of the piece of literature in respect of this prominent work according to the general theoretical conception. The result of the research is the statement that B. Prus’ novel as compared with the works of the Young Polish writers was a predecessor, as an open composition, a new existential way of depiction of the hero is developed therein, a polyphonic realism of modern times is created, as well as connected in the principle of synthesis.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis offers a comparative analysis of the theme of feminine doubling, which has not yet been taken into academic consideration. It examines the strategies of construction of relationships bonding mother-figures, daughter-figures, and father-figures in the various texts selected for inclusion in this dissertation from British and Polish literature. The key argument is that the tie between feminine doubles can be positive. A mother-figure (or the first wife) is capable of sharing her experiences with her daughter-figure (or the second wife). The second pivot of this exploration is the figure of a sexual mother. The dissertation comprises three parts. The aim of the first section of the thesis is to provide an introduction to the broad cultural context of the mid-nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Polish literature. The second, pivotal part is an exploration of the themes of feminine doubling and feminine sexuality as manifested in the Polish texts, including Narcyza Żmichowska’s The Heathen, Maria Konopnicka’s “Miss Florentine”, Maria Komornicka’s “On Father and his Daughter” and Zofia Nałkowska’s “Green Shore”. It also consists of an interrogation of the shifts occurring in the plot of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Daphne du Maurier’s Rebecca: these shifts concern the protagonists and the nature of their relationships with the sexual mother-figures. The present analysis stems from the conviction that a comparative reinterpretation of the two novels has been largely overlooked so far. The aim of the thesis is to apply various theoretical approaches that enable the reader to bring together the Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis and écriture féminine. The broad psychoanalytical context, including the works of the forgotten Freudian scholar Sabina Spielrein, provides a basis for the comparison. It also enables a profound, intertextual, and inspiring analysis. The thesis is meant to provide a much-needed new reading of Polish women's literature in a comparative structure, so that these texts may be afforded their appropriate position within the British and Polish critique. The innovative features of the research include its comparative character, and the implementation of various psychoanalytical approaches to the Polish works. Additionally, the thesis focuses on literary analysis. It incorporates the findings of various scholars interested in issues associated with “femininity”: it emphasises the importance of gender and feminist issues to the literary (re)interpretation of women’s texts. The present investigation is not conclusive and should be viewed as a stepping stone for further comparative exploration of Polish novels penned by women.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis provides an analysis of language policy and language contact in present-day Barcelona. On the one hand, the effectiveness of the implementation of Catalan-medium education in Catalonia will be critically evaluated. On the other hand, Catalan-Castilian bilinguals' awareness of non-normative instances of language contact will be assessed. This thesis brings these two strands together, in order to paint an accurate picture of the current Catalan sociolinguistic situation. The 1983 Llei de Normalització Lingüística had numerous consequences, including the introduction of Catalan as the chief medium of education in Catalonia. Such legislation had many aims, not least to 'ensure Catalan language competence'. But to what extent has this been successful? Furthermore, the varieties of Catalan and Castilian in Barcelona are characterised by centuries of language contact, which has resulted in the incursion of numerous, non-normative linguistic items and constructions in both languages. To what extent are speakers aware of such non-normative language? Moreover, how do these questions concerning language policy and language contact bear upon one another? This thesis is therefore looking at the consequences of language policy and of language contact. With the aid of an innovative, three-dimensional model of sociolinguistic phenomena, it will be shown that these are maximally differentiated, yet clearly related. These will be termed top-down phenomena and bottom-up phenomena respectively. This is to be tested using a unique fieldwork experiment whereby fifty bilingual Catalan-Castilian Barcelonians of two different generations (one educated in Catalan, the other in Castilian, due to different linguistic policies) are asked to identify instances of non-normative language contact in two prepared texts. This work will allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the effectiveness of Catalan medium education, as well as offering insight into the nature of how we examine issues of language policy and language contact.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole.

The South African society is plagued with a “complex and fascinating landscape of multilingualism that comprises of eleven official languages post the apartheid era” (Pluddeman et al, 2004: 13-14). The apartheid era saw only “English and Afrikaans recognised as languages of official status across the nation even though indigenous languages existed in the country” (Cakata & Segalo, 2017). The post-apartheid era which commenced in 1994 have been years in which extensive political negotiation and transition have been occurring which have encompassed establishing constitutional rights for indigenous languages in the South African dispensation. This included the choice for “indigenous languages to uses as languages of learning and teaching (LoLT) and being offered as subjects at schools” (Pluddeman et al, 2004: 13, 14). The aim of this study is to focus on language policy implementation practices in basic education with particular reference to a primary school in Western Cape, City of Cape Town as a case study. It seeks to observe the language practices within the school in order to assess the various patterns of implementation and contribute to scholarly debate pertaining to policy implementation across disciplines. The study will analyse the language policy planning in South Africa at large using Ruiz's (1984) three orientations to language planning: language as a problem, language as a resource and language as a right. It seeks to observe the language practices within the school in order to assess the various patterns of implementation and contribute to scholarly debate pertaining to policy implementation across disciplines. The findings of this study aim to assist language planners in developing a language policy framework in basic education which includes strong monitoring and evaluation systems to alleviate problems at the implementation stage of language policies.

Bates, John Michael. "The PUWP's preferences in the contemporary Polish novel, 1959-1985." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 1997. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1166/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis seeks to account for the development of the Party's views of the contemporary novel and its expectations of the form after Socialist Realism (1949-1955). The course of development of Party requirements of the form is traced from 1959, when the Party announced its new operative ideology at the Third Congress, to its last major statement of demands at the Party Writers' Conference of February 1985. One of the salient features of the thesis is the attempt to reconstruct Party thinking on the novel through access to hitherto unknown materials for the period from the Party and Censorship Office archives. This enables the lack of specificity inherent in the Party's formulations after the demise of Socialist Realism to be countered, and a more definite account of the progression of Party thinking to be delineated. Chapter 1 defines, firstly, the administrative structures within which writers were required to operate - the Writers' Union, Ministry of Culture, the Central Committee's Cultural Department and, finally, the Censorship Office. Secondly, it considers the positive mechanisms devised by the state to encourage novel-writing on favoured topics, and thirdly, the aims of the Party's cultural programme. Chapter 2 provides a general cultural background of the period, describing the development of the term 'committed literature', which was most frequently used by writers and politicians in their deliberations on the nature and direction literature was to take. This development was influenced by the increasing restrictions which the authorities placed upon writers' freedom of interpretation. These concerned, above all, the problem of alienation in socialist society. Chapter 3-5 discuss six works in relation to the administrative structures and the major political issues of the period. In Chapter 3, the question of the Party's initial definition of the extent of freedoms is considered in relation to Roman Bratny's Szczes lwi, torturowani (1959) and Jerzy Putrament's Pasierbowie (1963).

Wang, Juan. "Classical music policy and practise in a British city." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2011. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/12935/.
Full textAbstract:
The argument in my thesis regarding cultural policy points out a fundamental contradiction about the nature of democracy. The impulse that should motivate public cultural policies is primarily democratic: it is to give universal access to what are deemed unique cultural practices. However, these practices are often socially and culturally inaccessible. For instance, in the case of the high arts and the world of classical music, works are often prized precisely because of their high degree of sophistication within a particular tradition, something that tends to prevent such works from being immediately understood or enjoyed by the general public. Therefore, it seems, an effective cultural policy is crucial to offer universal access to unique cultural practices, like classical music. Based on the theoretical work of Jim McGuigan (drawing upon Habermas's notion of the public sphere) and of Tony Bennett (drawing upon Foucault's notion of governmentality), my research starts at a local city level in a British context, and then focuses on the relationship between classical music and cultural policy. I also pose the question of how the value implicit in a ‘culture in common’ and the plural forms of cultural expression help the development of self-respect and esteem and thus contribute to democratic values in a British context. My thesis is designed to contribute to a critical understanding of how classical music policy has been exercised at a local level. This has been achieved by adopting a qualitative research approach. Thus, my research findings show that power differentials exist in the field of cultural policy. The research focus in this thesis suggests that music policy might focus too much on the imposition of a top-down model that is unable to deal adequately with the dispersion of power. Further, the current debate does not take into account the importance of tradition and the critical role of multiculturalism. The theory points to ways these features can be incorporated into future debates on cultural policy.

Full textAbstract:
Space constitutes one of the main leitmotifs of Czeslaw Milosz's work, both theoretical and poetic. Central in this respect is the notion of imagination as a faculty organizing space, the faculty which, from the times of the Scientific Revolution, has been subject to erosion, especially as far as the religious imagination is concerned. The abolition of the anthropocentric, hierarchical vision of space, threw human beings into a state of alienation, conceptual nowhere. Religion was replaced by the dogmatism of scientific reductionism, the reality of Ulro. Milosz shows the way out of Ulro, the way out of nowhere to the somewhere. This thesis aims to illustrate the conceptual map of the way out of Ulro as portrayed in four selected volumes of poetry and the novel Dolina Issy, anchored in different points of Milosz's biography. The Land of Ulro, the collection of essays which encapsulate Milosz's ideas on space, constitutes a canopy work for the interpretation of the practical realization of those ideas in Milosz's poetic work. Trzy zimy (1936), Swiat, poema naiwne (1943), Miasto bez imienia (1969), and Druga przestrzen (2002) provide the material for the analysis of different aspects of Milosz's conception of space. Subject to analysis is the relationship between object and human subject as regards the formative, childhood experience of the space of the house (manor) and surrounding landscape, the act of building space on the basis of memory and retrospection in the context of distance and exile, and the workings of religious imagination in the context of the realm of second space. Through his conception of space, Milosz defends human existence in its completeness. He shows the way out of Ulro. This thesis aims to retrace Milosz's map out of the land of alienation on the basis of the poet's selected works.

Full textAbstract:
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592) was a humanist and a jurist, whose mother tongue was Latin. The Essais he wrote (1570-1588) are basic conversational humanism, in French, when everything sacred or learned was in Latin. They are as well a quasi-professional polemic against efforts to change the government of France, occurring on the philosophical and legal levels of jurisprudence in teaching, treatises and commentaries, and on the political level by the Catholic League, and by the Protestants, who set up independent governments in the Midi. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the rhetorical effort of the Essais to defend the ancienne coustume, the public law of France, as the remedy to govern and preserve the Kingdom as a traditional Christian Monarchy, and to end the civil and religious strife. The Essais are metaphor in the tradition of tropical philosophy to focus thought, and to capture the attention of the audience to persuade them to consider truth or a truth. The purpose is to reorient their thinking so they will act for the purpose about which Montaigne wishes to persuade them. The effect depended in part upon the reader or hearer. The Essais are dialogues which are not dialogues. The texts dialogue with each other and with metatexts. The Essais set forth coustume in its meanings of habit, usage, custom and customary law (case law of judicial decisions) as the guardian of tradition, and relate it to law, justice and government (police), according to Montaigne's knowledge and experience.

A dissertação em questão tem como objetivo apresentar as diferentes formas de representação do Gaúcho dentro da literatura argentina durante o século XIX, mais especificamente, entre 1845 e 1872. Para isso, pretende-se utilizar como as obras de Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, Estanislao Del Campo e José Hernández. A literatura nacional, baseada na figura do Gaúcho, seria um diferencial importante para se construir um sentido de pertencimento e identificação entre o sujeito e a nação. Nessa dissertação será analisada as diversas representações propostas por estes três autores.

Resumo: Os mitos gregos, pertencentes ao universo dos textos ditos clássicos ou canônicos, têm estado presentes na literatura infantil brasileira através de adaptações diversas, desde o início do século XX. O presente trabalho investiga a presença dos mitos gregos na literatura para crianças no Brasil, especialmente no período de 1990 a 2004, através de pesquisa nos catálogos de quatro editoras voltadas para o público escolar. Procura, também, analisar as estratégias utilizadas por editores, autores e adaptadores para manter atualizado o interesse do leitor infantil pelos heróis e deuses gregos. Para tanto, o foco principal foi a análise de duas adaptações da Odisséia para o público infantil, publicadas por editoras diferentes, tomando-se como referencial teórico R. Chartier e M. Foucault

This paper is organized as follows. The introduction determines what Foreign Economic Policy is. Then, it builds a theoretical framework about Foreign Economic Policy formulation in developing countries, with a focus in Lain America. This discusses three different approaches: system-centered, society-centered and state-centered. Then, it explores literature about epistemic communities in Latin America in order to determine to what extent this has focus on Foreign Economic Policy formulation. Finally, it explores the importance of studying the role of epistemic communities in public agencies in charge of foreign economic relations in the region.Este escrito está organizado de la siguiente manera. En la introducción se discutirá en quéconsiste la política económica exterior (en adelante PEE). Luego, en primer lugar, se construye un marco teórico en torno de la formación de la PEE en los países en vías de desarrollo y, en particular, en América Latina. Ello a través de tres enfoques diferentes: centrado en el sistema, en la sociedad y en el Estado. En segundo lugar, se busca mostrar de qué manera este marco teórico podría informarse del constructivismo. Asimismo, se aborda la literatura sobre las comunidades de conocimiento latinoamericanas para determinar hasta qué punto ha sido tratada la formación de PEE. Finalmente, se arriba a una conclusión sobre la necesidad de explicar el papel de las comunidades de conocimiento en los organismos o agencias públicas encargadas de las relacioneseconómicas exteriores latinoamericanas.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this thesis is contemporary Polish playwriting after Poland's accession to the European Union in 2004. From a broad reading of plays by many new writers, four playwrights were selected for study on the basis of prominence and artistic merit: Pawel Demirski, Dorota Maslowska, Malgorzata Sikorska-Miszczuk and Przemys law Wojcieszek. Their plays were studied as texts and in performance, and twelve main plays became the focus of closer analysis. The thesis identifies and examines three major concurrent themes in the works of these playwrights. Remembering versus forgetting the past is discussed through the lens of selected aspects of memory studies, including Nora's lieux de mémoire, Hirsch's postmemory and Assman's mnemohistory. The playwrights are shown to share an endorsement of the de-politicisation of collective memory and to advocate a cessation of the passing down of trauma to post-war generations. The human body is highlighted as another concurrent thematic concern and is illuminated by certain tenets of Catholic doctrine as well as Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. The playwrights' rejection of the tabooisation of the body is demonstrated and the shared notion of the body as both sentient and unifying is exemplified. Social marginalisation is examined as the final concern, with an emphasis on the notion of the 'other', particularly in relation to socio-economic status, sexuality, and religious beliefs. The plays are shown to support and promote a rejection of the myth of homogeneity in favour of openness to diversity. Major dramatic techniques are then closely examined. It is demonstrated that the plays share traits with Lehmann's theory of postdramatic theatre, including a rejection of Aristotelian unities. Key commonalities are evidenced, particularly comedy, bad language, intertextualities with the outside world, and an engagement with Polish social realities. The playwrights' approach to the spectator as a socio-political being is shown to be of paramount importance.

Full textAbstract:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem around the world. To meet the threat of a futurewithout effective treatment of infection, WHO and other authorities have published strategies and actionplans. However, it is unclear to what extent they have been implemented. As the seventh wealthiesteconomy in the world, Brazil could serve as a role model for other fast developing countries in the battleagainst AMR. The objective of this study was to investigate if and how implementation of internationalAMR strategies is addressed in literature, and to describe how such guidelines have been implemented inBrazil. The study was carried out as a literature review of scientific articles and of documents published byBrazilian authorities. In the scientific literature great importance was given to a multidisciplinary approachand to surveillance, with a special emphasis on local data. Brazilian documents showed a focus on healthcare settings and on actions concerning surveillance. Many tools were in place, such as networks and legalframework. Using local data, identifying measures most important for the target group and thenimplementing them, was considered most important. Generally, there was a lack of assessments. Brazil stillhas a long way to go, but has started out well with its focus on surveillance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses the traumata associated with Poland’s frontier changes in 1945, within a collective memory paradigm. These events include expulsions from German territories incorporated into Poland, and population transfers between Poland and the USSR. The thesis addresses two components: a central trauma complex, and the resulting collective memory discourse. Being a matter of historical record, the statistical details and chronology of these events are seldom contested, although they have often been instrumentalised by various stakeholders. Instead, the relevant collective memory discourse has focused on the production of broad, often exculpatory, narrative frameworks designed to explain a set of largely accepted facts. Accordingly, my thesis is primarily focused on this collective memory discourse. As an active phase, dominated by stakeholders with a high level of emotional investment in the narration and memorialisation of the relevant events, this collective memory discourse is currently undergoing a transition to the domain of History as a scholarly pursuit. This transition is best symbolised by the fact that, as of 2016, for the first time since 1945, all restrictions on the acquisition of agricultural land and forests in Poland’s former German territories, by Germans, will be lifted. Thus, for surviving expellees, the right of return, in conjunction with the potential to purchase any formerly held real estate and landholdings, will become a de jure reality, marking the end of the region’s long postwar period. Arguably, therefore, one can now engage, at a retrospective, analytical level, with the relevant collective memory discourse without being drawn into it. In order to navigate this complex discourse, I have developed a number of analytical and conceptual tools, which I hope may prove useful beyond this project. In this sense, this thesis can be viewed as a proof of concept. Chief among these tools are a novel working definition of collective memory as a discrete phase in the historification and mythologizing of traumatic events, and a three-level model designed for the consistent analysis of narrative texts, artefacts and cultural productions. By tracing the relevant collective memory discourse through a number of 4 disparate fields, including political myth-making, historiography, toponymic practice, cartography and literature, I have been able to test these analytical and conceptual tools to breaking point, often benefiting from the resulting heuristic gain wherever lived complexity defies simplistic analytic idealisation. To ensure a focused exposition of the theoretical framework and the sources analysed, this thesis is primarily centred upon Lower Silesia and the following broad research questions: what geo-socio-political power dynamics resulted in Poland’s postwar frontier changes and the associated traumata, and how were they justified at the time? How have historians reacted over time to Poland’s postwar frontier changes, and the humanitarian consequences, as well as to contemporary framework narratives relating to these events? How has the toponymic re-inscription of Poland’s former German territories influenced the relevant collective memory discourse, and to what extent have cartographic representations of postwar Poland been influenced by changing geo-political configurations? How have the prevailing socio-political conditions in postwar Germany and Poland constrained literary contributions to the relevant collective memory discourse? And, finally, in what ways, has literature contributed in turn, to the relevant collective memory discourse and the establishment of hegemonic historical narratives? This thesis presents a number of specific findings, the most significant of which is that political contingencies can result in a surprising deflection of collective memory discourse into seemingly unrelated fields, and can trigger a ripple effect, which has the ability to globalise collective memory discourse under certain circumstances. Similarly, my analysis of shared topoi in the works of German and Polish historians and literary authors demonstrates that, far from generating its own framework of reference based on specific traumatic events, collective memory discourse is exquisitely sensitive to broader socio-political narratives. In addition, I contend that mainstream historical narratives tend to simplify, for example, through the imposition of a chronology on multidirectional memories, and by focusing on homogenizing accounts of the collective at the expense of 5 individual narratives. In contrast, literature and local cultural performances often resist such simplification, thus preserving complexity. Viewed in this light, the pursuit of Cultural and Literary Studies addresses a clear problem within, and usefully augments, traditional historical scholarship. By carefully analysing a subset of Polish and German literature, historiography and cultural artefacts produced in response to the traumatic events in question, my thesis seeks to trace the transition from highly localised stakeholder-led collective memory discourses to hegemonic historical narratives developed and maintained in the service of broader geo-political agendas.

Full textAbstract:
Research has reported that the occurrence of washback effects—the impact of high-stakes exams on classroom practice and activity–is often partly attributed to teachers (Cheng, 1997, 2000; Turner, 2001, 2006, 2009). In Japanese secondary schools, due to the strong influence of university entrance exams nationally, it is often argued that in practice, speaking-focused courses entitled Oral Communication (OC) do not focus on interactive language learning activities but on grammar exercises to prepare students for the high-stakes exams (Kikuchi & Browne, 2009). Using mixed methods, this thesis examines the current status of OC courses in relation to the national educational policy from the perspective of Japanese teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL). Quantitative data from a teacher survey (N = 87), qualitative data from classroom observations and a term exam analysis revealed that washback effects were more evident in the assessment practices of the courses than in teaching, suggesting that classroom teaching and assessment were not congruent with each other or with the course objectives. Thematic analyses of guided interviews with nine teachers provided insights into their grammar-oriented teaching practice. Along with washback, a lack of confidence in assessing students' speaking due to their anxiety as non-native English speakers emerged as an influential factor that hindered teachers from implementing the course objectives. Moreover, the results suggest that the high-stakes exams tend to be more influential than the educational policy in this context, especially in academically-oriented classrooms in which the majority of the students were hoping to go to university (as opposed to vocational-oriented classrooms). Finally, the thesis discusses the need for change in the high-stakes exam system as well as the urgent necessity of teacher training on assessment specifically designed for non-native language teachers, which would contribute to the improvement of EFL pedagogy.Des recherches ont démontré que l'effet de retour (l'impact des examens déterminants sur la nature et le déroulement de l'activité pédagogique dans les classes) était souvent partiellement attribuable aux enseignants (Cheng, 1997, 2000; Turner, 2001, 2006, 2009). L'idée comme quoi, dans les lycées japonais, à cause de l'influence fondamentale des examens d'admission universitaires, les cours axés vers la conversation, dits de communication orale (CO), ne s'articulent pas autour d'activités d'apprentissage interactives, mais plutôt autour de l'acquisition de notions grammaticales, est prépondérante dans la littérature sur le sujet. Cette thèse fait appel à des méthodes mixtes pour décrire l'état actuel des cours de CO dans le contexte de la politique nationale d'éducation japonaise, en adoptant la perspective des enseignants d'anglais comme langue seconde (ALS). Des données quantitatives récoltées à l'aide d'un sondage auprès d'enseignants (N=87), des données qualitatives fondées sur des observations dans les salles de classe ainsi qu'une analyse d'examens semestriels ont révélé que l'effet de retour était plus apparent dans les méthodes d'évaluation utilisées par les enseignants que dans l'enseignement prodigué, laissant supposer la présence d'incongruités entre les objectifs des cours, l'enseignement qui en découle et l'évaluation qui y est lié. Une analyse thématique d'entretiens dirigés avec neuf enseignants a permis de mieux comprendre leur méthode d'enseignement axée sur la grammaire. De pair avec l'effet de retour, leur manque de confiance quant à leur capacité à évaluer le discours oral de leurs élèves causée par une langue maternelle autre que l'anglais est ressorti comme un facteur significatif les empêchant d'accomplir les objectifs du cours. De plus, les résultats de l'analyse indiquent que dans un tel contexte, les examens déterminants avaient une influence plus prononcée que la politique éducative, surtout dans les programmes pré-universitaires (par opposition aux programmes professionnels). Cette thèse traite finalement du besoin de changer le système d'examens actuel et de la nécessité d'offrir aux enseignants dont la langue première n'est pas celle qu'ils enseignent une formation sur les méthodes d'évaluation adaptée à leurs besoins, ce qui contribuerait à l'amélioration de la pédagogie de l'enseignement de l'ALS.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The purpose of this phenomenological qualitative case study was to explore the experiences of advocates who represent organizations that engage in disability policy advocacy. The study investigated the strategies and activities used by disability rights advocates, including those used when advocating for deinstitutionalization of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD), and the recommendations for advocates of the deinstitutionalization of individuals who live in large intermediate care facilities (ICFs).
Methodology. A phenomenological case study and semistructured interviews were used to explore the strategies and practices of organizations that engage in disability policy advocacy. The researcher used a purposeful sampling approach to interview 5 disability policy advocates with extensive experience for the study. Gen and Wright’s (2013) policy advocacy framework was used to guide the development of the interview questions and resulting themes that emerged from the interviews.
Findings. Advocacy organizations identified three main activities used when advocating for individuals with I/DD: coalition building, information campaigning, and engaging decision makers. When advocating for the deinstitutionalization of people with I/DD, their strategies included coalition building, information campaigning, and reform efforts. The advocates consistently recommended reform efforts, and to a lesser extent, coalition building as strategies and activities to expedite the deinstitutionalization of individuals who reside in large ICFs.
Conclusion. Reform efforts (pilots, demonstrations, litigation) are consistently recommended for future advocacy efforts in support of expediting the community transition of individuals who reside in large ICFs.
Recommendations. Future research should explore the activities of advocacy organizations for other populations or in other geographies. This research study has direct implications for individuals who reside in large ICFs and want to move to community living. This study adds to the practice of advocacy in that it will aid the development of future advocates through training targeting practices of successful, highly experienced advocates.

Faust, Adam C. "A Rhetorical Analysis of an American University's Diversity Policy." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2008. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_theses/51.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the guidelines that university governing bodies have adopted in order to regulate the actions of its student population and the factors that influenced their decisions. The evaluation of these guidelines is not a judicial analysis, but an analysis of the rhetorical aspects associated with the guidelines. The thesis contends that the current rhetoric of diversity on American college campuses, while drafted with the best of intentions, fails due to the limitations that it places on its students, the morality argument in which it draws strength, and the increase in differences, not acceptance, that it creates. The research utilizes specific examples of problems that are a direct result of University diversity policies and how they create a prison like structure in which those attending the University must adhere to the uncontested rules of the authority.
