Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation investigates and examines the dynamics of intercultural theatre practice. Existing scholarship on interculturalism in theatre praxis regards intercultural theatre as a site for bridging cultures and cross-cultural performance traditions, and for investigating the performance of power between the collaborating parties, learning, cultural imperialism, cultural translation and hybridity, among other features. However, much of the existing literature does not offer a historical perspective allowing one to understand the dynamics of contemporary North-South collaborations. Moreover, most studies do not adequately weave the experiences of the participants in such collaborations into their analyses. This study contributes to filling that research gap. This research specifically seeks to investigate and examine the dynamics of intercultural theatre collaborations in Uganda, taking Makerere University‘s Department of Performing Arts and Film‘s intercultural theatre activities in recent years as case studies. The inquiry was mainly driven by the impetus to explore the North-South intercultural theatre dynamics and to examine the socio-cultural, socio-political, socio-economic features and other notions that were manifested in these intercultural theatre collaborations and performances. In order to pursue the above line of inquiry I used a multiple case study design by examining three cases: the Stanford-Makerere, New York-Makerere and the Norwegian College of Dance-Makerere collaborations. The multi-case study model was reinforced by the use of personal interviews, direct observation, focus group discussions, document analysis and emails of inquiry in order to solicit the views of individuals who had participated in the above collaborations. Theoretically, the study is hinged on a multiplicity of concepts and discourses: symbolic interaction, intercultural communication, theatre studies, postcolonial studies, international education and the discourse on globalisation. In the analysis of the different cases it was discovered that the issue of economic inequality in the contribution towards the funding of the collaborations, among the different modes of power performativity manifested in the collaboration processes, sometimes leads to an imbalance in the decision-making process. Consequently, the power imbalance contributes to the North-South intercultural theatre collaborations‘ unending crisis of identification with imperialism. The study further shows that there are cultural, linguistic, pedagogical, structural and socio-psychological aspects of difference that are negotiated during the course of the collaborations. It was found that the process of navigating the socio-cultural differences provides the participants with an experiential learning environment of living with/within and appreciating cultural differences, thus providing a bridge across the socio-cultural divide. The cultural bridge in theatrical terms, however, leads to the generation of theatrical hybridity and fusion, which again brings into play the debate on intercultural performance authenticity/inauthenticity in theatre discourse. Also, based on the view that intercultural theatre collaborations are microcosms of multifaceted global intercultural interactions, it was seen that the socio-cultural differences that are negotiated through the intercultural theatre collaborations can give one a microcosmic platform for critiquing the grand concept of the ―global village‖ and the associated notion of ―world cultural homogenisation‖. Since this study uses a novel multidisciplinary approach in the analysis of intercultural theatre phenomena, I believe it will contribute to critical theatre studies in Uganda and elsewhere. The findings will also hopefully contribute towards the assessment of intercultural theatre collaborations at Makerere University in order to improve them. The study will also advance the view that intercultural theatre‘s aesthetic and experiential processes can help in interpreting and understanding our respective multicultural environments. Broadly, it will contribute to the discourse on intercultural communication, performance and cultural studies.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie proefskrif ondersoek die dinamika van interkulturele teaterpraktyk. Bestaande navorsing oor interkulturaliteit in die teaterpraktyk beskou interkulturele teater as ‘n forum vir die oorbrugging van kultuurgrense en interkulturele opvoeringstradisies, en vir die ondersoek na aangeleenthede soos die uitvoering van mag tussen die deelnemende partye, leer, kulturele imperialisme, kulturele vertaling en hibriditeit. Die bestaande literatuur bied egter grotendeels nie ‘n historiese perspektief waaruit die dinamika van kontemporêre Noord-na-Suid-samewerkings verstaan kan word nie. Verder verweef die meeste ondersoeke nie die ervarings van die deelnemers aan sulke samewerkings bevredigend in hul analises nie. Hierdie ondersoek dra by tot die vul van daardie navorsingsgaping. Hierdie navorsing poog spesifiek om die dinamika van interkulturele teatersamewerkings in Uganda te ondersoek deur van onlangse interkulturele teateraktiwiteite aan die Departement Uitvoerende Kuns en Film aan die Makerere Universiteit gebruik te maak as gevallestudies. Die beweegrede vir die ondersoek is hoofsaaklik die verkenning van die dinamika van interkulturele Noord-na-Suid-teatersamewerking en ‘n ondersoek na die sosio-kulturele, sosio-politiese en sosio-ekonomiese kenmerke en ander opvattinge wat in hierdie interkulturele teatersamewerkings en -opvoerings gemanifesteer het. Om hierdie ondersoek te onderneem, het ek drie gevalle in ‘n meervoudigegevallestudie-ontwerp bestudeer: die samewerkings tussen onderskeidelik Stanford en Makerere, New York en Makerere, en die Norwegian College of Dance en Makerere. Die meervoudigegevalle-ontwerp is versterk deur die gebruik van persoonlike onderhoude, direkte waarneming, fokusgroepgesprekke, dokumentanalise en e-posnavrae in ‘n poging om die opvattings van individue wat aan die bogenoemde samewerkings deelgeneem het, te verkry. Teoreties is die studie gefundeer in ‘n veelvoud konsepte en diskoerse: simboliese interaksie, interkulturele kommunikasie, teaterstudies, postkoloniale studies, internasionale opvoedkunde en die diskoers oor globalisering. In die analise van die verskillende gevalle is bevind dat die kwessie van ekonomiese ongelykheid in bydraes tot die befondsing van samewerkings, onder die verskillende modusse van magsperformatiwiteit wat in die samewerkingsprosesse gemanifesteer het, soms ‘n wanbalans in die besluitnemingsproses tot gevolg het. Gevolglik dra hierdie magswanbalans by tot die nimmereindigende krisis van identifikasie met imperialisme waaronder interkulturele Noord-na-Suid-teatersamewerkings gebuk gaan. Die ondersoek toon verder dat daar kulturele, linguistiese, pedagogiese, strukturele en sosio-psigologiese verskille is wat oorkom moet word vir suksesvolle samewerkings om plaas te vind. Daar is bevind dat die hantering van sosio-kulturele verskille die deelnemers van ‘n eksperimentele leeromgewing voorsien vir die belewing en waardering van kultuurverskille, waardeur die sosio-kulturele skeiding oorbrug word. Die kulturele brug lei egter, in toneelmatige terme, na die ontwikkeling van toneelmatige hibriditeit en versmelting, wat weer die debat oor die outentisiteit al dan nie van interkulturele opvoerings in die teaterdiskoers aktiveer. Verder is daar, gebaseer op die siening dat interkulturele teatersamewerkings mikrokosmosse van veelvlakkige globale interkulturele interaksie is, bevind dat die sosio-kulturele verskille wat deur interkulturele teatersamewerkings oorkom word, ‘n mikrokosmiese platform kan voorsien vir die kritisering van die begrip van die sogenaamde ―wêrelddorpie‖ en verwante nosies van wêreldwye kulturele homogenisering. Aangesien hierdie ondersoek ‘n nuwe multidissiplinêre benadering tot die analise van interkulturele teaterverskynsels gebruik, glo ek dit sal bydra tot die teaterkritiek in Uganda en elders. Die bevindinge sal hopelik bydra tot die assessering van interkulturele teatersamewerkings aan Makerere Universiteit om hulle te verbeter. Die ondersoek sal ook die siening voortdra dat interkulturele teater se estetiese en ervaringsprosesse kan help met die interpretasie en verstaan van ons onderskeie multikulturele omgewings. Breedweg sal dit bydra tot die diskoers oor interkulturele kommunikasie, opvoering en kultuurstudie.

Full textArtificial Intelligence is the field of research aiming at mimicking or replacing human cognitive abilities. As such, one of its subfields is focused on the progressive automation of the programming process. In other words, the goal is to transfer cognitive load from the human to the system, whether it be autonomous or guided by the user. In this thesis, we investigate the conditions for making a user-guided system autonomous using another subfield of Artificial Intelligence : Machine Learning. As an implementation framework, we chose the design of an incremental operational assistant, that is a system able to react to natural language requests from the user with relevant actions. The system must also be able to learn the correct reactions, incrementally. In our work, the requests are in written French, and the associated actions are represented by corresponding instructions in a programming language (here R and bash). The learning is performed using a set of examples composed by the users themselves while interacting. Thus they progressively define the most relevant actions for each request, making the system more autonomous. We collected several example sets for evaluation of the learning methods, analyzing and reducing the inherent collection biases. The proposed protocol is based on incremental bootstrapping of the system, starting from an empty or limited knowledge base. As a result of this choice, the obtained knowledge base reflects the user needs, the downside being that the overall number of examples is limited. To avoid this problem, after assessing a baseline method, we apply a case base reasoning approach to the request to command transfer problem: formal analogical reasoning. We show that this method yields answers with a very high precision, but also a relatively low coverage. We explore the analogical extension of the example base in order to increase the coverage of the provided answers. We also assess the relaxation of analogical constraints for an increased tolerance of analogical reasoning to noise in the examples. The running delay of the simple analogical approach is already around 1 second, and is badly influenced by both the automatic extension of the base and the relaxation of the constraints. We explored several segmentation strategies on the input examples in order to reduce reduce this time. The delay however remains the main obstacle to using analogical reasoning for natural language processing with usual volumes of data. Finally, the incremental operational assistant based on analogical reasoning was tested in simulated incremental condition in order to assess the learning behavior over time. The system reaches a stable correct answer rate after a dozen examples given in average for each command type. Although the effective performance depends on the total number of accounted commands, this observation opens interesting applicative tracks for the considered task of transferring from a rich source domain (natural language) to a less rich target domain (programming language)

Full textThe following study deals with the participation of user-representatives from various social enterprises. The overall aim of the study is to examine how participation can be influenced by social interactions between future social workers and user-representatives from social enterprises. A qualified study has been carried out through a participant observation for two days in a future-workshop between social work students, teachers and user-representatives. Empirical data has been analyzed by means of symbolic interactionsm and Goffman's dramaturgical theater analysis. The age range of study participants is at 22-70 years and it was predominately female group of participants. The study-results show that the inclusion of real influence is something pursued both from the policies of the National board and from community citizens, in this study in terms of students and user representatives. However, this is nothing that shows in practice, it is rather a pseudoparticipation which includes a lot of talk and little action, where participation does not lead to any real influence. It requires an even division of power between different group representatives to provide the right conditions in the making of participation on equal terms. Lack of time is a preventing factor. It appears that the success of participation is that we share the same understanding of reality and pursue a power leveling to fight stigmatization. This requires common meeting places. The study shows that a long term approach for a successful implementation at all stages from education to the workplace to the citizen is required. There is at long chain where much can go wrong along the way. This may explain the inertia detected in this study.

Full textHierarchical Task Network (HTN) planning is a popular approach to build task plans to control intelligent systems. This thesis presents the HATP (Hierarchical Agent-based Task Planner) planning framework which extends the traditional HTN planning domain representation and semantics by making them more suitable for roboticists, and by offering human-awareness capabilities. When computing human-aware robot plans, it appears that the problems are very complex and highly intricate. To deal with this complexity we have integrated a geometric planner to reason about the actual impact of actions on the environment and allow to take into account the affordances (reachability, visibility). This thesis presents in detail this integration between two heterogeneous planning layers and explores how they can be combined to solve new classes of robotic planning problems

Full textIn the last few years, the Human robot interaction (HRI) field has been in the spotlight of the robotics community. One aspect of this field is making robots act in the presence of humans, while keeping them safe and comfortable. In order to achieve this, a robot needs to plan its actions while explicitly taking into account the humans and adapt its plans to their whereabouts, capacities and preferences. The first part of this thesis is about human-robot handover: where, when and how to perform them? Depending on the human preferences, it may be better, or not, to share the handover effort between him and the robot, while in other cases, a unique handover might not be enough to achieve the goal (bringing the object to a target agent) and a sequence of handovers might be needed. In any case, during the handover, a number of cues should be used by both protagonists involved in one handover. One of the most used cue is the gaze. When the giver reaches out with his arm, he should look at the object, and when the motion is finished, he should look at the receiver's face to facilitate the transfer. The handover can be considered as a basic action in a bigger plan. The second part of this thesis reports about a formalization of these kind of basic actions" and more complex ones by the use of conditions, search spaces and restraints. It also reports about a framework and different algorithms used to solve and compute these actions based on their description. The last part of the thesis shows how the previously cited framework can fit in with a higher level planner (such as a task planner) and a method to combine a symbolic and geometric planner. The task planner uses external calls to the geometric planner to assess the feasibility of the current task, and in case of success, retrieve the state of the world provided by the geometric reasoner and use it to continue the planning. This part also shows different extensions enabling a faster search. Some of these extensions are \Geometric checks" where we test the infeasibility of multiple actions at once, \constraints" where adding constraints at the symbolic level can drive the geometric search, and \cost driven search" where the symbolic planner uses information form the geometric one to prune out over costly plans

Full text近年,性别不平等在中国又开始回潮。今天,中国女性在婚姻问题上受到来自社会的不小压力。如果这些女性尚未结婚而又具有?三高? ,即高龄、高学历和高薪,那她们将有可能成为婚姻上的剩女。以往研究表明,女性被打上?剩女? 的标签后,这?剩? 字会给她们带来若干负面影响。本文运用两个理论:「支配性男性气质」(hegemonic masculinity) 和「象征性互动」(symbolic interaction) 理论。「支配性男性气质」作为理论说明男性如何建立规范使妇女处于从属地位。此观念基于这样一个已有概念,即中国男性不喜欢?三高? 女性。本文主要讨论中国男人在「支配性男性气质」主导的社会里如何自我定位。根据「象征性互动」理论,性别的概念是经由社会建構创造的性意思,过程被称为「做性别」(doing gender) 。「象征性互动」理论因此被用来观察中国男性对?三高?女性存在的特殊想法。而「支配性男性气质」的理论则把他们的回答放到一个更大的范围内。如果我们能够证明中国男性并不完全赞同「支配性男性气质」的概念,那么中国女性就没有必要认为必须顺应「支配性男性气质」的一些规范,从而使这些女性更愿意接受高等教育,从事高收入工作和晚婚。需要指出的是,由于本论文是定性研究,样本数量有限,结果不一定具有普遍性。本文受访者均熟悉・剩女?这个观念,并且觉得这些・三高・女性很自然地被社会标签为?剩余?。但尽管如此,当谈及他们自己的婚姻选择时,这些受访者却并不在意「支配性男性气质」对女性标签的负面意义。此现象在一定程度上从受访者个人经历和我们附加的对照性问题上得到证实。这一结果相当有意思,根据康奈尔(Connell)和梅塞施密特(MesserSchmidt)的理论,即使「支配性男性气质」是一个常态,但其在统计学上并不一定最常见。由于已有的概念认为中国男性不喜欢?三高?女性,本研究结果显示,有必要对这一概念作进一步的探讨和分析。

Full textBakgrund: Facebook är ett socialt onlinenätverk som under sina levnadsår har ökat explosionsartat i popularitet. På Facebook sköter många användare stora delar av sina sociala relationer och delar med sig mycket av sig själva. Det finns inget tidigare socialt nätverk i stil med Facebook som har haft samma genomslagskraft hos internetanvändarna. I användandet skapas en digital identitet som lämnar spår på Facebook, även om en användare är död. Kring dessa kvalämnade digitala identiteter vill vi undersöka unga vuxnas syn.
Syfte: Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur unga vuxna ser på sitt och andras användande av Facebook kopplat till digitala spår och döden.
Metod: Vi har valt att använda fokusgruppssamtal som metod för insamling av det empiriska materialet. Denna metod är både kvalitativ och induktiv. Det empiriska materialet har vi analyserat med den symboliska interaktionismen som metodologisk ansats.
Resultat: Det finns många meningsskillnader i vårt resultat. Deltagarna i fokusgrupperna ser både styrkor och svagheter med mediet Facebook då det kommer till döden. Detta handlar i mångt och mycket om att deltagarna ser Facebook som ofullständigt i detta avseende.
Background: Facebook is a social online network that has expanded in popularity during the course of its existence. Many users manage large parts of their social life and share much information about themselves on Facebook. There is no previous social online network like Facebook, that has had the same development among the internet users. In the use of Facebook users create digital identities, which leave traces on Facebook, even if the user is dead. With this as an aspect, we want to study young adults’ views on digital identities and death on Facebook.
Purpose: Our purpose in this study is to find out how young adults view upon their own as well as others use of Facebook related to digital traces and death.
Method: We chose to use focus group as a method of collecting the empirical material. This method is both qualitative and inductive. The empirical material is analyzed with the symbolic interaction as a methodological approach.
Conclusion: There are many different opinions in our results. The participants in the focus groups see both strengths and weaknesses of the medium Facebook when it comes to death and digital traces. This based on the participants view of Facebook as incomplete medium in this aspect.

Full textIn the Swedish elderly-care sector the institutions are of different character and the kind of care and food-supply they offer vary in scope and intensity.

This study focus on the social organisation that embraces the diet of the elderly and shapes the provisions of their meals, on the norms, values and behaviours of the different social identities in the organisation. The empirical work included in-depth interviews and participant observations in four different residential care homes, including various hierarchical levels, i.e. politicians and different personnel, in the organisation of food-supply to the elderly. In each care home different types of care and food-supply were studied, i.e. elderly having their meals in 24hour care, partime day care and those who ate in the restaurants. Generally, provision of meals was routine and meals were planned, prepared and served with little or no attention to what substanse and symbol it brought to the elderly. The elderly had limited possibilities to influence their own meals and those with the largest need of care, being the most fragile and sick had the least influence. The views of politicians and different personnel indicated that they considered themself powerless, which resulted in a "freedom of responsibility". It was obvious that there existed a clear discrepancy between how the informants considered the provision of food and meals should be organised and carried out, in comparison to reality. The current unsatisfactory provision of meals to the elderly is attributed to the marginalisation of specifically three areas: the symbolic value of food, the life and needs of the elderly and the traditional knowledge and experiences of women in their role as housewife and carer of the family.

Full textThis research intended to investigate the meanings attributed by professional women to the process of taking care of women with HIV, considering the vulnerability in the context of feminization of HIV/Aids. Therefore, it was established as objectives: to describe the meanings given by women that take care of HIV seropositive women, considering the vulnerability in the context of feminization of HIV/Aids; to analyze the interaction process of professional women in the care of HIV seropositive women, in relation to the symbolic interaction. The methodology used was the qualitative approach, subsided by the Grounded Theory. The data collection technique chosen was the semi-structure interview. In accordance with the Grounded Theory, the referential of analysis of the data was the Symbolic Interaction. The research has pointed out two main categories through which the meanings of the care at issue permeate. In the first, the professional woman talks as a woman who believes to the immune to sexually acquired HIV, keeping a stable relationship, where it can be verified a strong vulnerability of the genre for the HIV; in the second one, the professional woman recognizes the vulnerability of the women she takes care of, and she dictates the rules on how to live and how a woman can prevent the HIV, by using preservatives, for instance. From these categories, it was identified that the meanings attributed by professional women to the process of taking care of women with HIV, considering the vulnerability in the context of feminization of HIV/Aids has assumed different meanings as from the several situations lived and from the interaction experiences of the professionals. This way, the meanings were grouped in two phenomena, the Health one, for the woman, and the Death one, for the woman and the risks for herself. The study has concluded that the professionals still have the old vision of HIV/Aids, which contributed for the phenomenon of discrimination and of prejudice, even if they are not present in their speech. Therefore, to take care of a woman with HIV may be special, for it is an opportunity of hope and a fresh start for the woman, as well as a judgment and condemnation moment, and also, of putting herself in risk to take care of others.
