Full textThis thesis considers actors as ‘manual philosophers’; it engages the proposition that acting can reveal aspects of existence and Being. In this sense, forms of acting that analyse and engage with lived experience of the world offer a phenomenological approach to the problem of Being. But rather than arrive at abstract, general conclusions about the human subject’s relationship to the world, at least some approaches to acting investigate the structures of experience through those experiences themselves in a lived, physical way. I begin with the troubled relationship between philosophy and theatre and briefly consider the history of attacks on actors. I suggest that at the heart of antitheatricality is what Jonas Barish (1981: 3) calls ‘ontological queasiness’: theatre poses a problem in the distinction between ‘what is’ and ‘what is not’. Turning to phenomenology as a particular way of doing philosophy that challenges any dualistic understanding of subjectivity, I reflect on Martin Heidegger’s Being and Time as a lens for viewing the process of performing and preparing for a role. Heidegger emphasises the intermeshed relationship between the human subject, Dasein (Being-there), and the world to the point that it is impossible to consider one without the other. I have chosen three of the most influential theatre and acting theorists of the twentieth century and examine how each uncovers aspects of existence that are presented in Heidegger’s phenomenology. Firstly, I consider Constantin Stanislavski’s ‘system’ which emphasises action for a purpose within an environment, the individual’s relationship to objects in the world and its involvement with other people who share the same type of Being in the world. Secondly, I examine Antonin Artaud’s conception of theatre that seeks to resist the structures of Being, the way the world is interpreted by others (the ‘They’) and the way that the world gets handed over to consciousness for the most part. In many respects, Artaud’s theatre is the embodiment of Anxiety, a world-revealing state where Being becomes apparent. Thirdly, I discuss Bertolt Brecht’s theatre practice as an attestation to authenticity (a truthful engagement with human existence as possibility) through the medium of performance. Brecht seeks to engage audiences in philosophical debate and change the world. Like Heidegger, Brecht also stresses the historical and temporal constitution of the human subject, whilst emphasising practicality in theatre making. By examining these approaches to performance as case studies, this thesis rethinks the notional intersection of philosophy and theatre, concentrating on process rather than literary analysis. This application of phenomenology is new in that it does not merely consider theatre analysis from an ‘ideal’ audience point of view (i.e. provide a phenomenology of theatre). By focusing on acting, I emphasise the development of artistic creation and becoming, and show how certain types of acting are phenomenological. The bold upshot here is a conception of philosophy that acknowledges various theatre practices as embodied forms of philosophical practice. Furthermore, theatre might well be thought of as phenomenological because it can be an investigation of Being firmly entrenched in practical action and performance. Conversely, philosophy is more than just words on a page; it is a performed activity. Actors can be considered manual philosophers in so far as they engage with the problem of Being not in mere abstraction but in the practical challenges of performance.

Nous considérons tout d'abord le cortex d'actomyosine et son rôle lors la cytocinèse, dernière étape de la division cellulaire. Nous formulons une théorie mécanique de membrane de la couche corticale active et visqueuse. La formulation Lagrangienne de la théorie est implémentée numériquement pour étudier la cytocinèse en régime de larges déformations. Nous montrons qu'une bande d'hyperactivité de la myosine à l'équateur de la cellule suffit à reproduire la formation et la contraction du sillon de division. Nous prédisons le succès de la cytocinèse au delà d'un certain seuil de contractilité équatoriale et proposons une explication physique de l'indépendance de la durée de contraction avec la taille d'un embryon. Des arguments d'échelle permettent d'interpréter les résultats numériques et révèlent un mécanisme clé: l'incompressibilité du cytoplasme induit une compétition entre la tension de ligne du sillon et la tension de surface aux pôles. Nous étudions ensuite la membrane du globule rouge et proposons un modèle pour ses fluctuations actives. Nous considérons à la fois les fluctuations thermiques de la membrane et les fluctuations chimiques de l'ancrage des filaments de spectrine dans la membrane. Un apport constant d'ATP, en affaiblissant cet ancrage, est la source de fluctuations supplémentaires dans la membrane. Ces fluctuations hors-équilibre violent le théorème de fluctuation-dissipation, en accord avec les résultats expérimentaux, signe que les globules rouges sont vivants

Full textLes teories de la gravetat són un dels temes més importants en física teòrica i física matemàtica avui en dia. La formulació clàssica de la gravetat utilitza el Lagrangià de Hilbert-Einstein, el qual és un Lagrangià singular de segon ordre; per tant requereix una teoria geomètrica per teories de camp de segon ordre, que comporten diverses dificultats. Una altra formulació estàndard és la d'Einstein-Palatini o Mètrica-Afí, la qual utilitza un Lagrangià singular de primer ordre. S'ha treballat molt per establir les estructures geomètriques adients per descriure teories de camps clàssiques. Particularment, la formulació multisimplèctica és la més general de totes i, recentment alguns treballs han considerat la gravetat des de un punt de vista multisimplèctic. Aquesta formulació ens permet estudiar i entendre millor diverses característiques inherents dels models gravitatoris. L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és utilitzar la formulació multisimplèctica per a teories de camps de primer i segon ordre per obtenir una descripció covariant completa dels formalismes Lagrangià i Hamiltonià per als models d'Einstein-Hilbert i Mètrica-Afí, i explicar les seves característiques. Concretament: reducció de l'ordre, restriccions, simetries i llibertat gauge. Algunes propietats de les teories de camps multisimplèctiques han estat desenvolupades per estudiar els models. S'han establert les restriccions generades per la projectabilitat de la forma de Poincaré-Cartan. Aquestes restriccions tenen relació amb el fet que les velocitats d'ordre superior són camps vectorials gauge forts. El concepte de llibertat gauge per a teories de camps també ha estat analitzat. Es proposa la utilització del terme "gauge" per fer referència a la no regularitat de les formes de Poincaré-Cartan. Per tant, les múltiples solucions es caracteritzen a partir de dues fonts: la relativa al gauge, que està relacionada amb la no regularitat, i altres fonts no relacionades amb el gauge que són exclusives de teories de camps. S'ha estudiat en detall dos models de gravetat: el model d'Einstein-Hilbert i el de Mètrica-Afí (o Einstein-Palatinti). En ambdós casos s'ha presentat una formulació covariant multisimplèctica Hamiltoniana. En tots els casos trobem la subvarietat final on les solucions existeixen, i escrivim explícitament tots els camps multivectorials sem-holònoms solució de les equacions de camp. També presentem les simetries Lagrangianes naturals. A més emfatitzem aspectes diferents en cada model: El model d'Einstein-Hilbert és una teoria de camp singular de segon ordre, la qual, com a conseqüència de la seva no regularitat, és equivalent a una teoria regular de primer ordre. Per aquest model hem presentat el formalisme unificat Lagrangià-Hamiltonià. També hem considerat la presència de fonts d'energia-matèria i es mostra com algunes característiques físiques i geomètriques rellevants de la teoria depenen del tipus de font. El model Mètrica-Afí és una teoria de camps singular de primer ordre que té una simetria gauge. Es recupera i s'estudia aquesta simetria gauge mostrant que és única. Les lligadures del sistema són presentades i analitzades. Utilitzant la llibertat gauge i les lligadures, s'estableix la relació geomètrica entre els models d'Einstein-Palatini i d'Einstein-Hilbert, inclosa la relació entre les solucions holònomes en ambdós formalismes. També es presenta un model Hamiltonià, que conté únicament la connexió, equivalent al formalisme Mètrica-Afí Hamiltonià

Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 175-179).
This thesis deals with two topics in lattice field theories. In the first part we discuss aspects of renormalization group flow and non-perturbative improvement of actions for scalar theories regularized on a lattice. We construct a perfect action, an action which is free of lattice artifacts, for a given theory. It is shown how a good approximation to the perfect action - referred to as classically perfect - can be constructed based on a well-defined blocking scheme for the 0(3) non-linear o-model. We study the O(N) non-linear r-model in the large-N limit and derive analytically its perfect action. This action is applied to the 0(3) model on a square lattice. The Wolff cluster algorithm is used to simulate numerically the system. We perform scaling tests and discuss the scaling properties of the large-N inspired perfect action as opposed to the standard and the classically perfect action. In the second part we present a new formulation for a quantum field theory with Abelian gauge symmetry. A Hamiltonian is constructed on a four-dimensional Euclidean space-time lattice which is invariant under local transformations. The model is formulated as a 5-dimensional path integral of discrete variables. We argue that dimensional reduction will allow us to study the behavior of the standard compact U(1) gauge theory in 4-d. Based on the idea of the loop-cluster algorithm for quantum spins, we present the construction of a flux-cluster algorithm for the U(1) quantum link model for the spin-1/2 quantization of the electric flux. It is shown how improved estimators for Wilson loop expectation values can be defined. This is important because the Wilson loops are traditionally used to identify confining and Coulomb phases in gauge theories. Our study indicates that the spin-1/2 U(1) quantum link model is strongly coupled for all bare coupling values we examined.

Full textFor un long time researches in education have been heading towards the discovery of "the right method" of teaching. This, coming to a failure and the prescriptive scopes revealing vain, we are suggesting a new way. For some time, a number of subjects in human sciences are putting a stress on the necessity of taking into account the background in the study of the teaching process. Starting from the teaching/training so-called "interactions in context" we have theorized the concept of contextualisation. Contextualisation is the name for all the interactive process which connect the acting person to his/or her context. While operating it we have only retainde the spatial dimension of the concept of contextualisation. We are proposing a kaleidoscopy of the teaching spheres combining geographic, sociologic, semiologic and psycho-social approaches of the interactions of the teacher and these spheres. The organisation of the descriptive elements has enabled us to suggest two possible explanations: "the pedagogic hexis" and the "energetic potential of the teacher's action". There has been two phases in the authentication. We have first shown that both interpretations were in harmony, which testified the uniqueness of the concept. We have then assessed their heuristic capacities which the measure of the teaching practises in reading in the first class of infant school. Finally, we have brought the concept to the fore by suggesting a few elements of the theory of the teaching action, the contextualis-action. The theory supports the idea that the teacher's action can be reduced neither to its planification (its "before") neither to its project (its "after"). The "during" of the action, because of its linear temporality on the one hand and to the processes of contextualisation on the other hand, keeps the prerogatives which are its own

Full textBesides providing a plausible explanation for much of the known phenomenology associated with microsaccades, the above link between microsaccades and covert attention means that the first may be used to track the latter. We demonstrate an example of such tracking by using microsaccades as a psychophysical tool to analyze the patterns of covert attention shifts that take place in typical visual tasks. In addition to revealing expected covert attention shifts in our tasks, microsaccade analysis reveals shifts that were previously unreported, including ones that are tightly synchronized with manual response execution. This analysis also shows that the patterns of attention shifts to task-relevant stimuli that are observed in visual tasks are identical whether overt saccades are allowed during task execution or not.
The above results lead to an investigation of the implications of overt and covert spatial attention shifts on feature processing. We present a post-motor theory of attention whose main thesis is that feature salience is modified in anticipation of the sensory consequences of a motor act, even if this act is eventually suppressed. We provide psychophysical evidence for such salience modification and show that a spatial attention shift to a location gives rise to a feature-based attention shift to the features at that location. We also show that such a feature-based attention shift outlasts a saccade and therefore aids the visual system in handling the consequences of such a saccade on target appearance.

We point out the problems that arise when the postulates about modularity are violated, and propose algorithmic checks that can help the designer of an action theory to overcome them. Besides being easier to understand and more elaboration tolerant in McCarthy's sense, modular theories
have interesting computational properties. Moreover, we also propose a framework for updating domain descriptions and show the importance modularity has in action theory change.

Sibaya, 2002). Stanton, Bachiochi, Robie, Perez and Smith (2002 cited in Brewer &
McMahan-Landers, 2003) is of the view that job stress is an antecedent of job satisfaction but the two constructs have been treated as related, yet they are different. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between stress levels and job satisfaction amongst high school educators in De Aar as well as to 
determine whether biographical variables (namely, gender, age, tenure, marital status and number of children) have an impact on job satisfaction and stress levels. The researcher hopes that 
the findings would give the Department of Education in the Northern Cape an idea of the stress levels and job satisfaction experienced by high school educators in De Aar so that interventions can be implemented to issues proactively. The sample consisted of 86 educators employed at four high schools in De Aar. A biographical questionnaire, the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and Stress Diagnostic Survey (SDS) were administered to assess respondents&rsquo
stress and job satisfaction levels. Informed consent was obtained from the various participants and anonymity of participation was ensured. Statistical analyses included inferential (Pearson&rsquo
s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Analysis of Variance &
T-Tests) as well as descriptive statistics. The results of the study 
indicate that there is a statistically significant, inverse relationship between stress levels and job satisfaction amongst high school educators in De Aar. Furthermore, the results indicate that there 
are statistically significant differences in stress levels as well as job satisfaction of high school educators on the basis of their biographical characteristics. The chapter concludes with presenting limitations of the study and putting forth recommendations for future research.

Full textThe purpose of this work is to extend the arbitrage pricing theory in the international context, to provide a fruitful alternative to the international asset pricing models. First of all, we show the arbitrage pricing equation is not exactly verified. However, and in spite of some problems, the model is theoritically coherent, and it is testable. Thus, we have carried out an empirical analysis of this model with samples of ten countries. This test rejects the model for four countries. In a second part, we propose an international version of the arbitrage pricing theory. In this international model, new factors reflect return translation in an other currency and these factors are appreciated. The relation between factors coefficients when measured in different currencies has been investigated, as well as the pricing of the forward exchange rates which depends on the covariance of the currency fluctuation with the same common factors. A test of the international model with two international sample indicates that two to four risk premia are not null, consequently, the model is not rejected. Thus, it seemed interesting to perform an empirical analysis of the financial integration in the theorical framework of this model. Our conclusion is that the world capital market is not integrated. At last, a tentative of economic interpretation of factors is realized. .
