Full textPensar o espaço urbano da cidade do Rio de Janeiro remete, num primeiro momento, a pensamentos de violência e medo. Destarte essa cidade vem assistindo a um forte e intenso processo de fragmentação de seu tecido sociopolítico-espacial. Compondo esse violento cenário emergem as facções criminosas de compra e venda de entorpecentes, que dominam grande parte das favelas cariocas, as forças do estado, via de regra apenas o braço policial, e a população comum que assiste abismada e amedrontada, a intensos conflitos armados, mormente a população localizada em favelas. O poderio sociopolítico-econômico alcançado pelas facções criminosas na metrópole do Rio de Janeiro é bastante influente, a ponto de se tornar legitimado nas unidades de internação de jovens infratores e nas unidades prisionais de adultos. Dessa forma esses locais de clausura em associação com as favelas se configuram em territórios de intensa disputa política e bélica, assumindo papel crucial no desenrolar da dinâmica cotidiana da cidade. Essa correlação é percebida e analisada através de um estudo transescalar, que permite enxergar o espaço não só em sua feição territorial - de contenção, de cárcere - mas também sob a forma de lugar, lugar de vida e lugar de clausura, simultaneamente. Portanto assiste-se à formação e a consequente interligação transescalar de diferentes territórios do cárcere em locais fechados, como as unidades de internação para jovens infratores, e em locais de residência, como as favelas e os condomínios exclusivos. Esta constatação tem importância vital para o desenvolvimento da rotina narcotraficante, influenciando diretamente a vida da população carioca.
Think about urban space in Rio de Janeiro first refers to thoughts of violence and fear. Thus the city has been through a strong and intense process of fragmentation of its socialpolitical and spatial dimensions. Compounding this violent scenary emerge the drug dealers factions that dominates most of Rio’s favelas, the state forces – in fact just the police – and ordinary people who watch terrified and afraid, the intense armed conflict, especially the population living in favelas. The sociopolitical and economic power reached by criminal gangs in metropolis of Rio de Janeiro is so influent that legitimates itself at young offenders internment units and adult prisons. Thus these places of confinement connected with the favelas configured territories of intense political and war dispute and play a crucial role in the conduct of the daily dynamics of the city. This correlation is perceived and analyzed through a trans-scalar study which allows us to see the space not only in their territorial feature - as a contention, a prison - but also as a place of life and place of confinement simultaneously. Therefore we are witnessing the formation and its subsequent transescalar interconnection of different prison territories such as young offenders internment unities and places of residence like the favelas and exclusive condominiums. This finding is vital for the drug dealers faction routine development , directly influencing the lives of people in Rio.

Full textLa investigación realizada como tesis doctoral ha estudiado el parque de la Ciutadella como espacio urbano privilegiado en la configuración de concepciones de la naturaleza y de un estilo determinado de popularización de las ciencias naturales a los públicos urbanos de principios del siglo XX. Ha analizado los regímenes de exhibición vinculados a la historia natural que se desplegaron para situarlos en el contexto político y social de la época. El estudio se ha centrado en un período acotado de la historia del parque, que comienza en 1906 con la creación de la Junta Autónoma de Ciencias Naturales, que puso en marcha un ambicioso programa de popularización de las ciencias naturales en el parque de la Ciutadella. Para alcanzar los objetivos, se ha centrado la investigación en tratar de comprender el alcance y la significación de tres exposiciones científicas emprendidas como parte de ese programa: la escultura del mamut a escala natural que se instaló en el parque a finales de 1907 y que hoy todavía se conserva en el parque; la colección de grandes bloques de roca que se inició ese mismo año y que en el curso de tres años alcanzó más de un centenar de ejemplares, los cuales permanecieron expuestos frente al Museo Martorell hasta el 1929; y la gran exposición de piscicultura y pesca que se organizó, en 1912, en el interior y alrededores del Castell dels Tres Dragones, que fue el precedente que marcó el vínculo con las ciencias naturales, ahora ya centenario, del edificio que había sido antiguo Café-Restaurante de la Exposición Universal de 1888. El examen de los tres proyectos expositivos quiere comprender, por un lado, la concepción de naturaleza que imbuía el programa de la Junta, analizar el estado de las respectivas disciplinas científicas y su traducción en términos de la museografía y de la recepción pública. Estas exposiciones eran elementos de diálogo entre expertos y profanos, un lugar donde se podía escuchar la voz de la autoridad, pero también las voces de los públicos y otros actores, en un momento de institucionalización de la ciencia en la ciudad. Por todo ello, el análisis de las instalaciones se ha fijado tanto en las motivaciones, intereses y deseos de quienes las promovían como en las recepciones y reacciones que tuvieron los públicos de aquellas iniciativas.
The research carried out as a doctoral thesis has studied the Parc de la Ciutadella as a privileged urban space in the configuration of conceptions of nature and a certain style of popularization of natural sciences in the urban public of the early twentieth century. It has analyzed the exhibition regimes linked to the natural history that were deployed so as to situate them in the political and social context of the time. The study focused on a period of the history of the park, which began in 1906 with the creation of the Autonomous Board of Natural Sciences, which launched an ambitious program of popularization of natural sciences in the parc de la Ciutadella. In order to achieve the objectives, the research has focused on trying to understand the scope and significance of three scientific exhibitions under way as part of that program: sculpture of the mammoth on a natural scale that was built up in the park at the end of 1907 and which today is still preserved there; the collection of large blocks of rock that began in the same year and that in the course of three years reached more than one hundred samples, which were exposed in front of the Martorell Museum until 1929; and the great exhibition of fish farming and fisheries that was organized in 1912 in the interior and around the building known as Castell dels Tres Dragons, which was the precedent that marked the link with the natural sciences, now centenary, of the building that had been former Café-Restaurant of the Universal Exhibition of 1888. The analysis of the three exhibition projects is aimed at to understand, on the one hand, the conception of nature that imbued the program of the Board, to analyze the state of the respective scientific disciplines and their translation in terms of museography and the public reception. These exhibitions were elements of dialogue between experts and profans, a place where the voice of the authority could be heard, but also the voices of the public and other actors, at a time when science of the city was institutionalized. For this reason, the analysis of the exhibition projects has been focused so much in the motivations, interests and desires of the promoters as well as in the receptions and reactions that the public of those initiatives had.

This thesis argues that traditional architectural practice is insufficient to respond to the instabilities of rapid informal urbanization in Latin America. Traditional practice has mostly focused on designing objects, but informal territories instead need architects able to embrace complex social agendas, environmental risks, the lack of infrastructure and constant migration. Under these circumstances, this thesis proposes four new design protocols that constitute a new design process: 1. architects start by building trust and empathy with the community, 2. architects' responsibility extends beyond designing objects to designing systems, 3. architects rethink the use of materials and get involved in their projects' production process and 4. architects acknowledge that design is by necessity incomplete.
These protocols result from my experience working in an informal settlement surrounded by swampland in Cartagena, Colombia, where I worked hand in hand with the community and a local foundation. From a deep understanding of the place, I envisioned an informal water-based mobility system. The system considers alternative material sources such as plastic waste and explores 3D printing's potential to facilitate local production. The system joins actors who will economically support the project and identifies programs that enhance people's livelihoods while promoting the swamp's ecological restoration. Acknowledging that design is incomplete, the work presents possible "design hacks" or reinterpretations that result from the informal settlers' agency. Ultimately, these design hacks can become catalysts for design upgrading and innovation. These new architectural protocols present a paradox. They expand architects' agency by requiring them to assume additional responsibilities.
At the same time, these protocols require architects to relinquish some of their traditional responsibility for full control over the design. Even if paradoxical, this new approach can motivate future forms of architectural pedagogy and practice that envision new tools and adjust methods and agency consistent with informal urbanization.

Full textThe field of artists' books is a realm in which a phenomenon is mapped and territorialized. This is based on the human necessity to map the world and have a better grasp of it. Additionally, it is constructed on the understanding of the history of the book’s physicality as an important emblem in civilization. An artist’s book is an isolated realm, both a map and a territory. It is closed in itself, and has its own rules and dynamics, yet carries varied affinities with the outside world.

Full textThis PHD has for objective to define a new concept: that of The maritime Cross-border Territory (MCBT) who differs from the concept of ground cross-border territory by the presence of the sea which modifies the dialectic opening/closure appropriate to these territories, the concept of "inter-coastal" territory because the border dialectic comes to overlap at the distance established by the sea and the concepts of Mediterranean as far as the maritime cross-border territories define themselves by their closeness on the border while the Mediterranean include distant spaces of more than thousands of kilometers of the border.To reach there the first part of the PHD decomposes into three chapters. The first one is dedicated to a reflection around the territorialisation of the sea because the MCBT is centered so geographically as humanely on the sea. Yet if this sea is similar to a no-man's-land it seems inconceivable to speak about MCBT. The second chapter returns to the definition of this concept and the questions which it lifts. A reflection around the association of the terms "sea and closeness" is led there : does the sea take away or does it move closer to the waterside populations? Finally the third chapter presents the cross-Channel, reserved space because it allows to produce new empirical data while testing the hypotheses. It also reveals the methodological protocol developed for the analysis of the MCBT, inspired by DI MÉO'S FSS and adapted to the specificities of these territories.The second part exposes the results obtained within the framework of the ground while keeping a comparative approach to differentiate well conceptually the MCBT of the concepts quoted previously. The fourth chapter is in connection with the practices of the space: observe Tone of specificities in these practices? Does closeness explains them? In what the motives for these flows contribute to the territorialisation of the space. The fifth chapter analyzes the representations of the space because the PHD positions itself in the field of the social and cultural geography. We question the otherness of the cross-Channel residents: have the French and English residents of this space seen in common a shared space? Finally the last chapter is dedicated to the institutionalization of the space. Indeed, the MCBT having no politico-administrative existence it is necessary that their actors cooperate and share a common vision of the space. So the concepts of cross-border cooperation and maritime cross-border governance were mobilized. A particular study was led around the cross-border twinnings and the relations which they maintain with the territorialisation of spaces.Throughout our work, the study of the interactions between the materiality, the immateriality and the institutionalization of the space was in the center of the reflection. The general questioning of the PHD also integrates the incidence of the maritimity on the constitution of a MCBT. Finally because of our territory of study it is important to think about the concept of insularity

Full textHistorically, wildlife has always been a resource for mankind by ensuring food safety to local and traditional societies. Wildlife tourism represents an evolution in the use of wildlife and affects livelihoods, culture and the local identities. The aim of this PhD research is to have a better understanding of what is wildlife tourism. This specific tourism causes a requalification of the resource, which has some impacts on human and non-human spaces, on the territorial building processes and on the relationship between men and animals. This research focuses particularly on these issues by studying wildlife viewing tourism and sport hunting tourism. These two kinds of tourism are usually in conflict because wildlife tourism is viewed as a non-consumptive tourism whereas hunting tourism is viewed as a consumptive tourism. Going beyond some common preconceptions on these different tourisms, we question the differences and/or the dialogical relationship between these practices. To conduct this research, we chose to lead a comparative analysis putting into perspective different case studies in France and in Canada. This comparative work allows a better understanding of tourism and territorial stakes linked to wildlife tourism and it allows to reflect on the transferability of processes observed between different fieldworks. From a methodological point of view, we have defined a framework to analyse wildlife tourism. This framework is based on conceptual aspects, analysis of archives, observation methods and discourse analysis. The first part of this work presents the theoretical context and introduces the systemic approach of this research (chapter 1, 2 and 3). These methodological and theoretical presuppositions are used to analyse how wildlife tourism dynamics act, react and retroact on the whole territorial system. The second part questions the socio-spatial organisation of wildlife viewing and hunting tourisms (chapters 4 and 5). These forms of tourisms are studied taking into account the settlement of these activities on space, the visitors' expectations and the impacts on wildlife populations. The third and last part discusses the evolution of the relationship between humans and wildlife in time and space according to the tourism activity. Chapter 6 looks at the dialectical link between heritage processes and the uses of wildlife resource that are accepted or not, whereas chapter 7 suggests a reflection on human / animal interaction at the individual level questioning the people's ethic in their use, behaviour and habits developed around wildlife

Full textEn el contexto actual de sociedad global y del conocimiento, la universidad ha intensificado su colaboración en el territorio hasta obtener un papel destacado en el desarrollo socioeconómico. Actualmente, la universidad contribuye al desarrollo local a partir de la influencia que ésta tiene en los diferentes aspectos de la realidad socioeconómica. Ante este contexto, la universidad forma parte de la sociedad y, como tal, tiene que encontrar y propiciar nuevos espacios emergentes donde se consoliden las relaciones con otras instituciones y organismos. Nuevas relaciones que hacen emerger una nueva tercera misión dirigida al compromiso directo de la universidad con su entorno social y económico. Ante esta nueva lógica territorial, la Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), como universidad campus, ubicada en la periferia de la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona (RMB), no ha sido ajena a estos cambios. La UAB puede jugar un papel de nodo del conocimiento metropolitana, con un rol en la red territorial de centros y subcentros, y en la lógica de los actores de la RMB. La consolidación de este rol, en el que se define como territorio del conocimiento, depende, entre otras cosas, de la capacidad de la Universidad de integrarse funcionalmente en el territorio del cual forma parte, en relación a su vinculación con el resto de actores del territorio. Con estos condicionantes de partida, el objetivo de esta tesis es analizar, desde un contexto de la sociedad y los territorios del conocimiento, la UAB como polo metropolitano, con capacidad de liderazgo y con una alta sinergia con su entorno local. Esto se concreta en un análisis de la relación existente entre la universidad y el territorio, caracterizado por geografías variables y límites cambiantes en una realidad metropolitana que adopta unos modelos urbanos en forma de red. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo, la investigación se diseña desde una perspectiva multimetodológica que combina la técnica cuantitativa, a partir de un tratamiento estadístico descriptivo del sujeto de estudio y la delimitación de su área de influencia; y la técnica cualitativa a partir de entrevistas a informantes clave del territorio.
In the current context of global and knowledge society, the university, as higher education institution, has intensified its collaboration in the territory until an important role in the social and economic development. Currently, the university contributes to local development through its influence in different aspects of the socioeconomic reality. In this context, the university is part of the society and, as such, it has to find and promote emergent spaces where its relations consolidate with other institutions and organisms. New relations, which make emerge a new third mission related to the university compromise with its social and economic environment. In front of this new territorial logic, The Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), as university campus, located in the periphery of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona (RMB), not least on these transformations. The UAB can play a role as metropolitan knowledge node, with a role in the territorial net of centers and subcenters, in the actor’s logic of the RMB. The consolidation of this role, which defines as knowledge territory, depends, on the other things, on the university capacity to integrate in the territory, as regards linkages to other territorial actors. Under these constraints, the objective of this thesis is to analyze, from the social context and knowledge territories, the UAB as metropolitan pole, with leadership capacity and with a high relation with its local environment. This is made concrete in the analyze about the exist relation between the university and the territory, characterized by variable geographies and changeable limits in a metropolitan reality which adopt an urbans models in the shape of net. To obtain this objective, the investigation is designed from a multimethodological perspective, which combines the quantitative technique, from a descriptive statistical processing, about the study subject, and the delimitation of its influence area; and the qualitative technique from interviews to key informants of the territory.

Full textOur work has discussed the relation between the military and the landscape within the Hispania Citerior province through the remaining epigraphic evidence. We were very aware of the limitation that is the amount of military epigraphy compared to the global number of roman inscriptions available in Spain. We accounted for the lack of archaeological and spatial contexts as well. It is a fact that the majority of the military epigraphy known to date in the Iberian Peninsula was found in unknown circumstances, in remote times (resulting in unavailable information) or was even re-used for subsequent structures (which usually transforms the original form). Moreover, many of the known pieces are in a fragmentary or partially lost state which in time increases the difficulty of reading and interpreting texts. Analysing and tracing the individual history of epigraphs it is possible to locate them on the territory and eventually in some capital locations within the military provinces. That is if we assume the abovementioned precautions. The main goal is therefore to apply an analytic model to outline an epigraphic topography of the early imperial Roman army in Hispania, taking into account the scarce amount of available epigraphic sources and the above-mentioned issues regarding analysis and context. Our methodological contribution to the subject of the Roman military in Spain is thus to obtain an approximate, systematic and spatial image of said military topography. A meticulous approach to each file (understood as the inscription and the history of the monument together) and the combination of other materials and data on them partially makes up for the scarcity of specific contexts for the pieces. In any case, these two elements do not suffice to successfully resume this task. Roman urban archaeology and military archaeology contribute with referential frames that are key to understand and reconstruct an epigraphic landscape. That is both from a global perspective as well as from the perspective of specific areas in the territory and specific locations where the military had a prolonged stay. ‘Between Epigraphy and Archaeology’ refers to the central aim of our work which is in line with many other scholarly reviews of the Roman military history in other parts of the Empire. On the other hand, we obtain a rather complex and fragmentary image from studying sources and contexts. It cannot be conceived as a uniform entity in time and space as it is subject to the history of the Roman Empire and its provinces. The different phases of the Roman establishment in Hispania, especially in the studied province, were influenced by events such as: the articulation of the territory of Hispania and the Citerior province after the conquest, the exploitation and administration of the newly acquired resources, or the civil wars in the 1st and 3rd centuries A.D. Considering the size of this subject, we believe we have outlined a detailed image of the relationship between the roman military and the occupied Iberian territories. Our perspective has been social rather than event-driven as we have encountered numerous examples of interaction between soldiers and the territory on which they served. Our work refutes the idea of an exercitus Hispanicus that is ‘secon-class’ in comparison to other early imperial Roman armies, which is usually justified by shifting the focus towards more conflictive areas of the Empire. The specific circumstances of Hispania shaped an specific military approach characterised by unique elements that resulted in the development of an active, busy and dynamic army. An army that was involved in infrastructure works to extend the imperial authority’s reach in the Citerior province. It evolved to become an agent of Romanization in times of peace and thus helped to define the early-imperial identity of Hispania.

Full textThis thesis investigates the firm’s sensitivity to the Local Economic Fabric. A first analysis allows one to build three questions of research focusing on three aspects of this relation, at local, European and worldwide levels. The first paper answers the following question: What is corporate chiefs’ perception of their sensitivity to Local Economic Fabric (LEF) and its impact on firm performance? The sample being analyzed contains 25 interviews with corporate chiefs in the two departments of Savoie (France). The results highlight a difficulty for corporate chiefs to link sensitivity and firm performance. These qualitative interviews also show the determinants of sensitivity. The second paper answers to the next question: What is the actual effect of sensitivity to LEF on firm performance? This study uses the rating agency VIGEO dataset, which contains 252 European firms noted between 2004 and 2011. Results show a convex effect, first negative then positive, of the sensitivity to LEF on accounting performance. In other words, it is important for firms to invest at a minimum level on local markets to get better performance. About stock performance, for the three-years horizon, the lowest sensitive firms have better performance than the highest sensitive firms and market. The third paper provides an answer to the following questions: How has the geographical concentration of venture capital investments evolved from 1970 to 2013? What are the macro determinants of this evolution? Data involve all the investments of countries belonging to the OECD and the BRICS groups. Results show four evolutionary paths representing four groups of countries. The quantity of investment deals and the dot-com crisis increase the geographical concentration of venture capital while the level of financial development decreases it

Full textLa tesis es una nueva aportación al estudio del territorio rural, paisaje que ha recibido menos atenciones por parte del Urbanismo, y que actualmente está experimentando una fuerte transformación, debida entre otras cosas a una fuerte actividad edificatoria. Objeto de este trabajo es el estudio del territorio de la isla de Ibiza, un territorio "no urbano", construido principalmente por la agricultura. Mas que la imagen visible de un paisaje, el territorio rural se considera a partir de una serie de elementos construidos sobre el relieve natural, como relación entre construcción y naturaleza, como una estructura física compuesta por lógicas "urbanas" (más geométricas) y lógicas de construcción del espacio agrícola, (mas vinculadas a la geografía, a la topografía), como una arquitectura construida a lo largo del tiempo, que ha generado unos sistemas continuos que han articulado y dado forma a enteros territorios. Mediante el estudio de un área concreta, la tesis propone un análisis, basado en el dibujo, de los criterios, las formas, las estructuras, los trazados y los modelos de orden que han guiado la construcción del territorio rural de la isla de Ibiza. El estudio se basa en un trabajo de campo y en un análisis del paisaje rural que empieza con los levantamientos a escala 1 :100, 1 :500, 1:1.500 de las casas rurales más significativas de las vendas de Morna, Atzaró y Balafi, y llega por zooms progresivos hasta una lectura general del territorio de la isla. Este método de lectura del territorio por ampliaciones sucesivas a partir de la casa rural, desplaza la atención de la casa como edificio a la casa como elemento de construcción de un lugar, elemento que por agregación da forma a un territorio entero, demuestra el papel de la casa cómo célula de construcción del territorio y al mismo tiempo permite una lectura del espacio rural en la que desaparece la separación entre las escalas de la arquitectura, del paisaje y del territorio. El concepto de territorio como construcción física global desarrollada a lo largo del tiempo, y la definición de una manera de leer y representar el espacio rural, adecuada a la descripción y comprensión de sus características formales y de sus reglas constructivas, se propone como tema central de la tesis. El análisis del tejido rural de la isla de Ibiza, el estudio de los elementos que lo componen (viviendas, caminos, muros de piedra, cultivos, parcelario...) y de las relaciones que han establecido con los elementos geográficos (relieve, drenajes, vegetación...) no se ha realizado tanto con una visión arqueológica, patrimonial, de proteger frente a destruir; el descubrimiento, mediante el dibujo, de las líneas de fuerza del tejido, de las persistencias que han construido y articulado el territorio rural de Ibiza y en particular el valle de Labritja a lo largo de los años, ha evidenciado la trama estructural del territorio, que estructura y articula el paisaje rural, cuyo carácter abstracto lo convierte en un elemento de control formal y de proyecto que permite una actitud proyectual hacia el territorio, su arquitectura y su transformación. Como todos los territorios rurales, el de Ibiza es un paisaje construido, estructurado mediante un sistema continuo y complejo, un modelo de escala y de orden basado en las técnicas agrícolas, que con sorprendente naturalidad articula todo el territorio insular, cuyo estudio, acompañado de la lectura de las transformaciones actuales, se propone como campo de reflexión sobre la arquitectura, el urbanismo y el paisajismo contemporáneos.
This thesis is a new contribution to the study of rural territory, a landscape that has received less attention by Urbanism and is currently undergoing an important transformation, partly due to a strong building activity. Subject of this work is the study of the territory of the island of Ibiza, a "non urban" territory, mainly embossed by agriculture. More than the visible image of a landscape, the rural territory is considered as a number of elements built upon the natural relief, as a relationship between building and nature, as a physical structure composed of "urban" (more geometric) logics, and of agricultural construction logics (more related to geography, topography), as an architecture built over time, which generated continuous systems that have articulated and shaped whole territories. By studying a particular area, the thesis proposes an analysis, based on drawing, of the criteria, forms, structures, tracings and models of order that have guided the construction of rural territory of the island of lbiza. The study is based on a fieldwork and a rural landscape analysis that begins with surveys at l:1 00, 1:500, 1:1500 scales of the most significant rural houses of the area of Moma, Balafi and Atzaró, and arrives by progressive zooms to a general reading of the territory of the island. This method of reading of the territory by successive enlargements from the rural house scale shifts the focus of the house as a building to the house as an element that constructs a place, element that through aggregation shapes an entire territory, demonstrating the role of the rural house as a cell of construction of the territory, and at the same time allows a reading of rural space in which the separation between the scales of architecture, landscape and territory, disappears. The concept of territory as a physical construction developed overtime, and the definition of a way to read and represent rural areas, appropriate to the description and understanding of their formal characteristics and their construction rules, is proposed as a central theme of the thesis. The analysis of the rural structure of the island of Ibiza, the study of the component parts (houses, roads, stone walls, crops, plot ...) and of relationships that they have established with geographic features (relief, drainage, vegetation ...) has not been undertaken so much with an archaeological aim or the wish to protect it against destruction; the discovery, by the drawing, of the lines of force of the tissue, the persistences that have constructed and articulated the rural territory of lbiza and in particular the valley of Labritja over the years, has shown the structure of the territory, which articulates rural landscape, whose abstract nature makes it an element of formal control and project, that allows a projectual attitude towards territory, its architecture and its transformation. Like all rural areas, Ibiza is a man built landscape, structured by a continuous and complex system, a model of scale and order based on agricultural techniques, which articulates with surprising ease all the island landscape, whose study, accompanied by the reading of current transformations, is proposed as a field of reflection on contemporary architecture, urbanism and landscape.

Full textThis thesis shows how government intervention shaped the remapping of industry and population in postwar France. C6mbining a national perspective with local case studies, it analyzes the regional development programs organized around the new conceptual framework of aménagement du territoire. I address a core tension: industrial decentralization was a Keynesian social policy, which brought new jobs to impoverished areas, but it also undercut the power of Parisian labor and created a kaleidoscope of new regional inequalities. Three chapters trace the complex relationship between projects of urban "containment," rural preservation, and new ideals of Keynesian modernization from 1934 to 1955. I examine the decentralization of defense industries, programs to deindustrialize Paris, and battles to control provincial labor markets during new development. The following two chapters address, respectively, the institutional and discursive bases of redistributive regional policies and the role of decolonization in shaping debates on inequalities in France. Next, I take the Citroën car factory built in Rennes, Brittany, as a case study of new rural industrialization from Rennes' pro-growth municipal politics to the company's recruitment of peasant workers and the community's contestation of its new employer. A concluding chapter covers key shifts in French industry during the 1960s: Parisian contraction, branch-plant expansion, and new high-tech metropolises. This dissertation is at the junction of social science research-on industrial geography and territorial governance-and the history of French industry and labor, urban policy, and state economic intervention

Full textThe territorial scale and the form of the territory are fundamental basis to understand metropolitan processes and the changes occurred in its spatial, economic and social structure. The centrality of landforms and of their dynamics inspires more situated approaches, in which the agency of natural elements is integrated. This research investigates the existence of new forms of emerging rurality in the metropolitan basin of the Yangtze Delta. In opposition to the growing gap between infrastructural heritage and society, the priority of the territory is reaffirmed as a theoretical tool and environmental paradigm. The research hypothesis is that the spread of small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas represents a form of capitalization of the spatial reorganization occurred in the Commune's period. The preliminary factor which originated the process of rural industrialization is based on the restructuring of two strategic territorial resources: the soil structure and the water network. These transformations have led to the formation of numerous hybrid spaces and clusters of small and micro enterprises dispersed over the countryside. As a result, this mode of production has, in turn, reshaped the relationship between the local economy, communities and natural environment giving rise to forms of urban development without fractures, where the relationship between the built space and the agricultural area is no longer of an opposite nature. What emerges is a network of "milieu” where the resulting socio-spatial organization shows a pattern of capillary urbanization in these conventionally defined "non-urban" areas. The notion of urban is changing and ecological rationality can offer fundamental opportunities to analyse, intersect and integrate the various territorial layers

Full textDentro de este objetivo general, la tesis define el nacionalismo como movimiento e ideología que promueve reivindicaciones en nombre de la nación. Una de las reivindicaciones más importantes es que la nación debe tener o su propio estado o al menos un alto grado de autonomía política. Ya que el ejercicio de tal poder político es necesariamente territorial, el nacionalismo está obligado a controlar o reivindicar un territorio.
Sin embargo, la hipótesis principal postula que el nacionalismo no solamente controla o reivindica un territorio concreto, sino que invierte en él un significado especial para convertirlo en territorio nacional. A partir de aquí, para el nacionalismo, la nación viene a ser definida en términos del propio territorio nacional, de modo que la identidad nacional se deriva del territorio. Cómo consecuencia de ello, el control por parte de los nacionalistas sobre territorio y los recursos y personas que contiene queda perfectamente justificado: sus reivindicaciones político-territoriales en nombre de la nación son justificados por el hecho de que la propia nación nace del territorio.
En un segundo término, de la hipótesis general, se deriva una segunda hipótesis, construida sobre dos premisas básicas. En primer lugar, la construcción del territorio nacional inevitablemente implica la unificación de lugares distintos dentro de una jerarquía especial, en cuyo punto más alto normalmente se encuentra la capital. Al mismo tiempo, y en segundo lugar, la identidad nacional es una mezcla de identidades procedentes de lugares y zonas concretos que son ampliados para convertirse en componentes de una identidad nacional del territorio entero. La hipótesis es que la identidad nacional resultante de este proceso reflejarán las relaciones existentes en la sociedad.
Para avanzar los argumentos con el fin de justificar las hipótesis planteadas, la tesis se divide en dos partes, cada una de cuatro capítulos, además de la introducción y las conclusiones. La primera trata cuestiones generales, sobre el nacionalismo, las bases territoriales de su relación con la nación a través de la identidad nacional, y los posibles cambios que la globalización pueda suponer para esta relación. La segunda parte, desarrolla estos debates en el contexto del nacionalismo catalán y analiza cómo éste ha producido y reproducido la nación catalana territorialmente a lo largo de los últimos dos siglos.
En términos generales, se puede concluir que las hipótesis planteadas en la primera parte se confirman en el caso del nacionalismo catalán. Efectivamente, éste reivindica el control sobre un territorio en nombre de la nación. Al mismo tiempo, la nación es producida y reproducida en términos del mismo territorio. Este proceso es una constante en el nacionalismo catalán, desde sus inicios hasta el presente. Además, en el caso del nacionalismo conservador, se realiza un esfuerzo muy claro para situar geográficamente la esencia de la nación catalana en ciertos lugares y zonas rurales del país. En el contexto actual, caracterizado por la compresión del espacio y del tiempo, las bases territoriales del nacionalismo catalán no se han visto alteradas considerablemente, aunque ciertas tendencias podrían minar la primacía de la identidad nacional a largo plazo.
The main objective of the thesis is to investigate the importance of the territorial bases of Catalan nationalism, and, above all, the process by which the nation comes to be defined in territorial terms. We might refer to this process as the territorial production and reproduction of the nation, or national territorial socialisation. Thus, the thesis offers a chronological study of this process in the case of Catalan nationalism, from its beginnings in the 19th century until present times, characterised by what we might call globalization.
Within this overall objective, the thesis defines nationalism as a movement and ideology that makes claims in the name of the nation. One of the most important claims is that the nation must either have its own state or a high degree of political autonomy. Given that the exercise of such political power is necessarily territorial, nationalism is obliged to control o claim a territory.
The main hypothesis makes the case that rather than merely controlling or seeking to control a given territory, nationalism attaches special meaning to it so that it becomes the national territory. From here, for nationalism, the nation itself comes to be defined in terms of the national territory, so that national identity is derived from that territory. Consequently, nationalist control over territory and the resources and persons contained therein is perfectly justified: the politico-territorial claims in the name of the nation are justified because the nation itself stems from the territory.
On a second plain, from this overall hypothesis, we might derive a second that is based on two premises. Firstly, the construction of the national territory inevitably involves the unification of different places within the overall national spatial hierarchy, which is generally dominated by the capital. At the same time, the resulting national identity is a mixture of identities from different places and areas, that are subsequently amplified to become elements of the national identity of the whole territory. The hypothesis here is that the resulting national identity will reflect existing relations of power within the society in question.
With the aim of putting forward arguments to validate the hypotheses, the thesis is divided into two parts, each one with four chapters, along with an introduction and conclusions. The first part is concerned with general-level questions regarding nationalism, the territorial bases of its relationship with the nation through national identity, and the possible changes that globalization might imply for this relationship. The second part develops theses questions in the context of Catalan nationalism and analyses how the latter has produced and reproduced the Catalan nation territorially throughout the last two centuries.
By way of conclusions, the hypotheses developed in the first part are confirmed in the case of Catalan nationalism. In effect, it claims control over a territory in the name of the nation, while at the same time the nation is produced and reproduced in terms of the territory itself. This process is a constant in Catalan nationalism, from its beginnings until the present day. In addition, in the case of conservative nationalism, there is a clear attempt to situate geographically the essence of the Catalan nation in certain rural places and areas of the country. In the present context, characterised by time-space compression, the territorial bases of Catalan nationalism have not be substantially altered, although certain tendencies associated with globalization might undermine the primacy of national identity in the long run.

Full textLe changement rapide du climat actuellement observé dans l'Arctique de l'Ouest Canadien devrait avoir une influence majeure sur le pergélisol représentant plus de la moitié de la masse continentale du Canada. L'isolement de ces vastes étendues a limité les efforts de recherche scientifique à leur sujet et par conséquent le niveau de connaissances des caractéristiques du pergélisol. Plus particulièrement, peu d'information existe au sujet des unités massives de glace de sol, c'est-à-dire de grands corps tabulaire de glace avec une teneur en humidité gravimétrique supérieure à 250% (pour cent en poids sec), que l'on retrouve dans ces régions. Ces glaces de sol peuvent provenir de l'enterrement d'étendue de glace en surface, tels que des glaciers, des bancs de neige, ou encore de la congélation in situ d'eaux souterraines, autrement nommées glaces intrasedimental. La glace de sol peut fournir de précieuse information sur l'historique et l'évolution des climats passés. La haute teneur en eau congelé dans la glace peut causer d'importants changements dans la topographie, pour les infrastructures et ultimement pour les habitants de cette région qui font usage du sol.Situé dans le mur de tête de glissements de dégel rétrogressif de l'île Herschel au Yukon, des affleurements de glace souterraine fournissent un cadre idéal pour étudier des unités de glace ayant des origines incertaines. Pour la présente étude, dix-sept unités de glace massive distinctes, observée dans quatre expositions différentes, ont été échantillonnés pour l'analyse en laboratoire. Le but de cette recherche est de comprendre l'origine de ces unités de glace massive moins bien connues en faisant usage d'un outil récemment développé permettant d'analyser les rapports molaires entre differents gaz atmosphériques occlus à l'intérieur des unités de glace. Cette approche repose sur la méthode reconnue de cryostratigraphy, sur l'analyse d'isotopes stables O-H ainsi que sur des mesures géochimiques. Les résultats de ces tests, présentés en deux manuscrits, révèlent une histoire cryotique complexe identifiant des unités de glace massive avec des caractéristiques atmosphériques et intrasedimental.Une unité isolée de glace blanche ayant été observée dans la partie supérieure d'un glissements de dégel rétrogressif présente une signature atmosphérique forte avec de faibles ratios de gaz atmosphériques N2/Ar ainsi qu'une droite de régression δD vs. δ18O qui se rapproche étroitement de la ligne d'eau locales météorique. L'hypothèse d'une origine atmosphérique pour cette unité de la glace est soutenu par de faibles valeurs de conductivité mesurées à meme l'unité de la glace. Ces études chimiques combinées à un examen cryostratigraphique tout aussi concluant suggèrent que cette unité massive de glace est en fait un banc de neige récemment enterré. Un modèle d'enterrement de banc de neige est également présenté à clarifier pour appuyer cette conclusion.Une unité distincte de glace de couleur bleue exposée par un bluff océanique contient des gaz occlus avec des ratios molaires de N2/Ar et de O2/Ar fortement corrélées aux mêmes ratios mesurées dans l'atmosphère actuel. Deux des unités mesurées révélé une origines de glace intrasedimental en raison du faible taux de N2/Ar gaz atmosphériques et d'une conductivité élevée. Une troisième unité de glace blanche isolée et confinée reflète un ratio molaire des gaz N2/Ar fortement corrélée avec le ratio N2/Ar de l'atmosphère actuel. Une origine atmosphérique pour cette unité de glace est aussi soutenue par une ligne de régression δD vs. δ18O similaire à celle de l'LMWL.Ces résultats fournissent une nouvelle couche d'interprétation qui s'ajoute aux connaissances précédemment établies et fournissent une explication plus robuste quant à l'origine des unités de glace massive sur l'île Herschel.

Full textO objetivo principal deste trabalho dissertativo é tentar provar que a implantação de cursos superiores na modalidade de ensino à distância tem a capacidade de promover a existência de novos territórios e, conseqüentemente, territorialidades. Para tal, foi feito um resgate histórico, com ênfase no século XX, no intuito de verificarmos o quanto a difusão do meio técnico-científico informacional contribuiu para que o ensino à distância proliferasse no Brasil, e mais precisamente, a partir de três instituições de ensino superior que oferecem tal modalidade, de modo a gerar novos territórios. Assim, tento demonstrar que a técnica possui relevante papel na efetivação dos mesmos. O conceito de territorialidade utilizado no embasamento teórico foi a definição de Robert Sack, que as considera como sendo estratégias de controle e influência sobre pessoas e objetos através do controle de um território, conjugada com a definição ofertada por Rogério Haesbaert como as formas e as relações políticas, culturais, sociais e econômicas produzidas e reproduzidas por um grupo ou grupos sociais no território. Isso possibilitou concluir que: sendo a oferta deste tipo de serviço o resultado de um conjunto de políticas públicas e privadas, é possível que diferentes estratégias sejam traçadas a partir do ensino superior à distância por cada uma das instâncias já citadas com igualmente diferentes objetivos, gerando novas relações de poder e, como conseqüência, novos territórios.
The main objective of this work reported and try to prove that the establishment of courses in distance learning mode has the ability to promote the existence of new territories and, consequently, territorialities. To this end, it was made a historical review, with emphasis on the twentieth century, in order to verify how the diffusion of technical means and scientific informational contributed to distance learning proliferated in Brazil, and more specifically, from three institutions higher education that offer such a mode, to generate new territories. So I try to demonstrate that the technique has significant role in attaining them. The concept of territoriality used in the theoretical framework was the definition of Robert Sack, who considers them as strategies to control and influence over people and objects through the control of a territory, coupled with the definition offered by Rogerio Haesbaert as the forms and relations political, cultural, social and economic produced and reproduced by a group or social groups in the territory. This led us to conclude that: being the provision of such service, the result of a combination of public and private policies, it is possible that different strategies are drawn from higher education at a distance by each of the aforementioned instances also with different goals, generating new power relations and, consequently, new territories.
