Full textThe Sicilian opera dei pupi - the armed rod marionette theater - was recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2001. The glove-puppets theater with Pulcinella, called guarattelle, hasn’t had the same recognition even if for some years the puppeteers have been involved in preparing the candidacy process for inscription on UNESCO’s lists of the Neapolitan mask of the commedia dell'arte and of the collections of the Unione internazionale della marionetta Italia. Since then, the relationship between these puppets and the communities and the territories in which they have spread, has been analyzed with growing attention. This relationship had already been highlighted by the first authors who wrote about pupi and guarattelle. These puppets shows have been initially studied by specialists of folklore, interested in the popular characters of the puppets. The fights typical of the shows were often interpreted as an expression of social conflicts. Such interpretations can lead to a static vision of pupi and guarattelle, rejected by some puppeteers who claim their belonging to the contemporary theatrical scene.This work analyzes the bonds between puppets and their presumed identities, starting from a study on texts and theatrical performance. The writings on puppets evoke literarure texts on Naples and Sicily, from the Grand Tour travel stories to the literature of the second half of the twentieth century. This study will analyze the way in which some issues of this literature were related to puppets. The analysis of the writings makes it possible to grasp all the complexity of the identities attributed to the pupi and to the guarattelle by the specialists, the puppeteers or the enthusiasts.The contemporary performances of the puppets and guarattelle allow to treat these questions from another point of view. Following the approaches proposed by the anthropology of performance, we can comprehend the way in which the puppets put us in relationship with our self-image, identity and alterity in general, with conflict and with death. The puppets’ bodies, voices and rhythms show us what there is upstream and downstream of the stories and characters depicted and the identities attributed to the pupi and the guarattelle. After analyzing the identities and the characters attributed to the puppets, the study of the performances allows us to gather what, in this traditions, precedes every particular ideology or identity
Simon, Emöke. "Gertrude Stein : l'identité à l'épreuve du rythme." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030116.
Full textThe steinian conception of rhythm as expression of identity paves the way for a diagrammatic perception of the text. If rhythm is a diagram, that is to say, the image in movement of a literary thinking, it asserts a literal conception of the relation between the act of writing an dan idea as its possible motivation. This study proposes to approach the textual rhythm of Gertrude Stein as the expression of a thinking that calls into question the concept of identity considered as the confrontation of inside and outside, of desire and law, of self and other, or of the writer and the reader. Gertrude Stein’s text question the being in the world – the collective being as well as the individual – also through its characters, yet they are so intensely conditioned by the rhythm that they become rhythmic characters, meanwhile the rhythm becomes this performative space where the figures of One, the double and the multiple overlap or challenge each other. The interaction of these figures and the nature of the dynamics they engage produce a rhythmic experience of multiple faces which, conditioned by a logic of sensation, asserts the presence ofthe text as body and places the writer/reader relationship under the sign of becoming. If the rhythm questions identity, it is through the rhythm that a textual identity may be grasped.Emerging from its movement towards the reader and the desire of rhythm, the steinian text could then be defined in terms of a gesture of writing and a voice which shape it according to the lawsof the fold, the chiasm, the circle, in the reader’s presence and under the gaze of the text itself.Through its immediacy and its intensity, such a text may claim to ensure a performative actionwhich reveals the text in its burlesque dimension. Gertrude Stein’s writing is presence whichquestions as a critical statement does, it deterritorialises and continues to reterritorialize the fieldof contemporary art where it continues its quest of identity in relation to the other

Full textThe objective of this dissertation is to provide new theoretical and empirical insights into the relationship between internationalization and performance. We revisit this relationship in light of two theoretical streams: the transaction cost and internalization theories on the one hand and the organizational learning theory on the other. More specifically, we undertake the following research interests: 1. -Studying how time-based variables of the process, such as age, speed, and rhythm of internationalization, influence performance. 2. -Examining the effects of cultural diversity in the portfolio of countries. 3. -Reconsidering the contributions of the more established internationalization theories, namely the Uppsala and New Ventures theories. 4. -Coining the concept of international ambidexterity. Our dissertation integrates the temporal and cultural attributes of internationalization in a unique model and examines the internationalization of firms from a dynamic perspective. Success is based on a moderate internationalization speed, the regularity of the expansion, and a minimization of cultural heterogeneity between countries in the portfolio of firms. Our research also highlights the existence of different and often more efficient internationalization processes than those described by well-established theories in the international literature. This calls for updating our research objectives concerning these processes. In particular, new theoretical developments suggest rethinking the internationalization process as a combination of exploitation and exploration activities calling for a reformulation of the concept of ambidexterity in an international context. This new orientation promises new research prospects on the concept of international ambidexterity as the ultimate source of international competitive advantage. The worldwide mass grocery retailing industry from 1998 to 2004 is the empirical setting of this study. Our database includes information for 386 worldwide retailers and 87 internationalized retailers with more than 420 foreign entities in 128 countries

Full textThe main topic of this research is the traditional music of the Creoles, in French Guiana, a product of a unique historical, sociological and cultural context, cement of the creole identity. The cultures of the first inhabitants, the Amerindians, that of the French colonists and that of the African slaves are the cement of the creole society of French Guiana, and with it, of the underlying cultures and traditions, such as the traditional music and its six main rhythms: the grajé, the léròl, the grajévals, the béliya, the kanmougwé and the kasékò. The performances, either vocal, through a repertoire of songs in creole, or instrumental, accompanied mainly by drums, show the reality of this original and social fact, attested to by writings since the eighteenth century. The researcher shows the role of the soloist tanbou koupé, the tanbou foulé supreme guide accompanying instruments, and tanbou plonbé, the metronome drum, which is taught by the Gangan (the elderly), traditional groups and music schools. Despite the European, US and Caribbean musical contributions, the traditional Creole music of French Guiana keeps its authenticity, it is renewed thanks to a young population, and it is the basis for new musical compositions

Full textThe increase of anthropogenic activities on coastal areas induces discharges of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in aquatic ecosystem. PAHs effects depend on their concentration and the way of contamination, but also on the different developmental stages of the organism. In this context, the aim of our study was to observe the effects of an exposure to two PAHs mixes, pyrolytic and petrogenic, on the model species zebrafish Danio rerio. These chronicle exposures at sub-lethal concentrations were representative of contaminated areas. Biological responses of fish were estimated at individual levels through the assessment of aerobic metabolic scope, swimming and escape performance, which are considered to be relevant indirect measures of the fitness. Furthermore, measurements of cardiac frequency allowed observing PAHs impairments at sub-individual levels. These physiological performances were estimated (i) a several times of exposure (i.e. from 2-months juveniles to 6-months adults) and (ii) on their progeny, in order to observe parental effect of the PAHs exposure. An increase of aerobic metabolic scope was observed on the progeny of fish contaminated by pyrolytic mix. Regarding petrogenic PAHs exposure, the increase of aerobic metabolic scope was associated to increase of critical swimming speed in adults. This study will contribute to establishing a global vision of PAHs exposure impairments and to a better understanding of the regulating mechanisms of the main biological functions on which organism survival depends

Full textIntroduction: The management of a life-threatening event by caregivers requires technical and non-technical skills under stress conditions. Simulation-based education allows this training in a safe environment. Objective: To analyze the association between stress and performance and the effect of repeated simulation.Methods: Two experimental and control groups of 6 MDTs of EMS (n=48) had respectively 9 (1session/6 weeks) and 3 (1session/6 months) simulations with 3 common sessions: initial, intermediate after 6 months, and final session after 1 year. Stress was assessed by heart rate and variability, salivary cortisol and psychological parameters (acute stress: STAI and SOM, and PTSD: IES-R and PCLS). The technical performance was evaluated by Intra-Osseous Access Performance Assessment Scale (IO), overall performance (TAPAS); non-technical performance by BAT score for leader and CTS score for teamwork.Results: Stress increased during simulation (p<0.02) and decreased during debriefing (p<0.01) regardless of the frequency of repetition. There was no PTSD. The performances were correlated between each other (p<0.001) with a strong link between the non-technical performance of leader and team (R²=0.93). Stress and performance were not correlated. The performance was higher in the experimental group during the intermediate scenario for technical scores (TAPAS: p=0.02, IO: p=0.03) and for all scores during the final scenario (TAPAS and IO: p=0.01 CTS: p=0.03, BAT : p=0.02).Conclusion: The benefit was greater when performing simulations every six weeks in terms of technical and non-technical performance. The team performance was linked to the leader performance

Full textAt sea level, half of endurance trained athletes can develop an exercise induced hypoxemia (EIH). Currently, the practice of mountain endurance sports is booming. In these disciplines, highly endurance trained athletes, and thus likely to develop EIH, practise regularly at moderate altitude. This work has focused on the evolution of EIH at moderate altitude, as well as its consequences and its relationship with the change in cardiorespiratory components during exercise. Our results show that: 1) arterial desaturation is not potentiated at acute altitude in EIH athletes compared to non-EIH athletes while EIH athletes have a greater fall in maximal oxygen uptake and in maximal heart rate, 2) EIH athletes develop a significant hemodynamic stress associated with specific pulmonary vascular responses at sea level, 3) all athletes have a lung diffusion limitation at maximal exercise in moderate altitude and our results do not show a greater cardiac limitation in EIH athletes, 4) in chronic hypoxia, arterial desaturation is influenced by exercise modality. Our work resulted in a number of recommendations to help endurance trained athletes who want to perform at moderate altitude
Année, Magali. "La diction des chants parénétiques : de Kallinos à Tyrtée [édition, traduction, interprétation]." Thesis, Paris 4, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA040112.
Full textThe singularity and the most effective holoparenetic function of Tyrtaeus’ and Kallinos’ fragments, too long neglected by a philological tradition narrowly focussed on the homeric model, imposed themselves for a return to the text of these two wise-poets of the VIIth century B. C. and, to do this, required that we stick to the letter of the manuscripts without first take offense, and that we study for itself, in its depths language, the diction which was theirs and that for the first time, concomitantly with Archilochus, used the elegiac meter. Now, apart from their being dialectically and rhythmically more fluctuating than it looks, their organization inherently “stanzaic”, based on echoes which are more phonic than lexical, as well as the repeated use of the rhythmically marked form of the medio-passive participles in -me/noj/-(o/)menoj, are two features that underpin us to believe that it is a "sound " or more precisely "phonico-pragmatic" rhythm which was to be their driving force. For that reason and since it is more and more established that we must trust the linguistics of Plato’s Cratylus, I have been looking through it for a method that tackles such a state of language. The resulting hermeneutic and philological journey, through out a whole system of phonico-syllabic correspondences turning around the verbal stem of me/nw “to stand firm”, helps clear a path into the intra- and infra-linguistic dimension of Tyrtaeus’ and Kallinus’ parenetic diction in order to understand better the reasons and the nature of an efficiency that inherits obviously non-narrative traditions
Torrecillos, Flavie. "Etude des corrélats électrophysiologiques du traitement des erreurs motrices et des mécanismes de l'adaptation sensorimotrice." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016AIXM5034/document.
Full textIn humans, EEG correlates of performance monitoring have been extensively investigated in relation to decision-making theories. Event-related potentials correlates of error processing have been well documented using choice reaction-time tasks in which very simple motor responses are required. In these tasks, errors concern inappropriate action selection only and the evaluation of the performance is discrete (e.g. failure or success). In contrast, EEG activity has been much less examined in more complex motor tasks in which inaccurate movement-execution produces errors that vary continuously in magnitude. Our goal was to explore EEG correlates of movement-error processing and sensorimotor adaptation. In this purpose, we recorded EEG while volunteers performed reaching movements under mechanically or visually perturbed conditions. In a first study, we identified a fronto-central negativity whose amplitude was modulated by the size of movement errors. This potential presents great similarities with the Feedback Related Negativity (FRN), a potential often assumed to reflect reward-prediction errors (RPE). These findings suggest that the processing of movement-execution errors, corresponding to sensory-prediction errors, and the processing of RPE involve a shared neural network. In a second study we assessed β-power sensitivity to errors and found two clearly distinct patterns of β-band modulation. Our results suggest that the postmovement β-power may reflect error-salience processing independent of sensorimotor adaptation whereas modulations in the foreperiod may directly relate to the motor-command adjustments activated after movement-execution errors are experienced

Full textA influência de diferentes horas do dia e estado cognitivo, no desempenho cognitivo encontra-se largamente por estudar. Na literatura têm sido descritos picos de desempenho cognitivo ao longo do dia, para populações idosas. Além disto, parece existir uma relação de envelhecimento com efeitos de hora do dia, no desempenho cognitivo de idosos. Espera-se que esta relação seja evidente em casos de DCL. 34 idosos portugueses caucasianos (um grupo com DCL e um grupo normativo) formando grupos de manhã e de tarde, completaram o Wiscosin card sorting test, o span de dígitos, o choice response time, o Halstead category test e o attentional network task. Não se verificaram efeitos de hora do dia, para nenhuma tarefa. Interações do efeito de hora do dia foram significantes para o span de dígitos inverso e o Choice Response Time. Emergiram alguns padrões interessantes de maior efeito de hora do dia para o grupo DCL, com melhores desempenhos de manhã para tarefas que requeriam capacidade de inibição, aprendizagem do feedback e tarefas temporizadas. No entanto, algumas destas interações não alcançaram significância estatística. O presente estudo sugere que pode existir um efeito de hora do dia maior para população DCL, com melhores desempenhos durante a manhã. Também sugere que para o span de dígitos inverso a população normativa poderá ter maior efeito de hora do dia, com melhores desempenhos durante a tarde. Sugere-se que no futuro se explorem a relação de efeito de hora do dia e declínio cognitivo aprofundadamente na capacidade de inibição, de aprendizagem do feedback, raciocínio abstrato e velocidade de processamento, em amostras de adultos idosos com DCL e estados de declínio cognitivo mais avançado, bem como em jovens adultos.
