Kelly, Brigid Maria. "Belly dancing in New Zealand: identity, hybridity, transculture." Thesis, University of Canterbury. School of Culture, Literature and Society, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/2536.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores ways in which some New Zealanders draw on and negotiate both belly dancing and local cultural norms to construct multiple local and global identities. Drawing upon discourse analysis, post-structuralist and post-colonial theory, it argues that belly dancing outside its cultures of origin has become globalised, with its own synthetic culture arising from complex networks of activities, objects and texts focused around the act of belly dancing. This is demonstrated through analysis of New Zealand newspaper accounts, interviews, focus group discussion, the Oasis Dance Camp belly dance event in Tongariro and the work of fusion belly dance troupe Kiwi Iwi in Christchurch. Bringing New Zealand into the field of belly dance study can offer deeper insights into the processes of globalisation and hybridity, and offers possibilities for examination of the variety of ways in which belly dance is practiced around the world.
The thesis fills a gap in the literature about ‘Western’ understandings and uses of the dance, which has thus far heavily emphasised the United States and notions of performing as an ‘exotic Other’. It also shifts away from a sole focus on representation to analyse participants’ experiences of belly dance as dance, rather than only as performative play. The talk of the belly dancers involved in this research demonstrates the complex and contradictory ways in which they articulate ideas about New Zealand identities and cultural conventions. Some of their reflections on belly dancing appear to reflect consciousness of and dis-ease around issues of indigeneity and multiculturalism in wider New Zealand society. Participants in this study also talk about how they explore and perform ideas about femininity, which includes both acceptance and rejection of belly dancing as innately feminine. Looking at New Zealand identities through belly dance, and vice-versa, highlights developing, nuanced and multiple articulations of self and other in a globalised world.

Song, Elodie Sung-Eun. "Transnational Organizations' Cultural Shift Through Transcultural Communication Generated by E-learning via the Global Learning Organization (GLO) Model." Thesis, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/35385.
Full textAbstract:
Dynamic networking is a key factor for successful transnational organizations. The transcultural shift is a critical process that can enable cultural hybridization so as to inspire consensual identity and learning aptitude amongst worldwide members. The Global Learning Organization (GLO) model is re-conceptualized to bring about this cultural shift. E-learning seems an appropriate tool to generate effective transcultural communication for both culture and learning perspectives under the GLO model. A qualitative case study using document analysis and interviews is conducted to understand how transcultural communication is generated via e-learning under the GLO model in two fields. Findings reveal that firstly, trust is a core element in generating transcultural communication and the combination of face to face and e-learning can enable trust to be activated and developed. Secondly, the way to build trust varies depending on task characteristics: the detail-oriented tasks require more intense face to face communication than the concept-focused tasks. This study illustrates that design of various mixed learning pattern with strategies to build trust through the affective dimension will be key for the successful GLO.

Winterstein, Xavier Joseph. "Painting Samoan hybridity – le Va." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/18771.
Full textAbstract:
I have always struggled to come to terms of my position between worlds. Growing up involved constant friction between my Samoan heritage and Western upbringing; resulting in a bitterness towards an unknown Samoan culture. These feelings were to be confronted directly as I was asked by my parents to undertake the role of Matai – a Samoan chief. This research paper looks at cultural hybridity and how visual dialogue aids in resolving an internal feud of clashing cultures. The Samoan term ‘Va’ is associated with one’s position and connection, and the paintings produced alongside this investigation become steps towards a resolution by forming an understanding of my position as a hybrid. In the case of this research paper, traditional style oil painting on canvas becomes my mode of choice to portray this communication. The series of paintings created through this research project embodies my connection with Samoan spirituality. The connection is conceived as stories of a sacred world being familiarized through re-enactment and re-evaluation against the present world – my reality. As this journey unfolds, the question is raised: how can the process of painting account for and help mediate the various positions of my subjectivity and the pressure of initiation into the Matai system? Critical analysis of works produced by artists Odd Nerdrum, Kehinde Wiley and Greg Semu aid in finding an answer by investigating hybridity from a contemporary perspective. The resulting research evidences a visual mode of hybrid language that has the power to speak the unspoken; the given, the Va.

Full textAbstract:
Le métissage des cultures a crû de façon exponentielle depuis la fin des années 1980. Ce phénomène, qui entérine le passage de la modernité à la postmodernité, affecte le champ littéraire et précipite l’effondrement du modèle moderne et national de la littérature. Il est alors nécessaire de repenser le domaine des lettres, son histoire et ses frontières, et d’abandonner trois notions qui le caractérisaient : l’essentialisme, le modernocentrisme, et l’exclusion arbitraire de pans entiers de la littérature. Cette thèse participe à cet effort via l’exploration des transferts littéraires et culturels européens au Japon, dans les temps archaïques et à l’ère Heisei (1989-2019). Après un premier parcours à visée contextuelle, elle revisite les transferts archaïques entre l’Europe et le Japon, afin de saper les fondations du modernocentrisme et de l’essentialisme, et de repenser la chronologie et le déroulé des échanges transculturels entre ces deux ères culturelles. Une troisième étape consiste en l’étude de la littérature mangaesque japonaise et de son imaginaire néo-médiéval ; sont étudiés plus particulièrement deux titres phares de cette mouvance : Vinland Saga et Spice & Wolf. Ce pan transculturel et transtextuel de la création littéraire actuelle illustre l’importance de l’extension des frontières et des critères définitoires de la littérature. Il représente aussi la place grandissante du Japon sur l’échiquier littéraire et le rôle du Moyen Âge européen dans le réenchantement du monde dont la postmodernité se fait le vecteurThe blending of cultures has grown exponentially since the late 1980s. This phenomenon, which confirms the transition from modernity to postmodernity, affects the literary field and precipitates the collapse of the modern and national model of literature. It is then necessary to rethink the literary field, its history and its boundaries, and to forsake three notions that characterized it: essentialism, modernocentrism, and the arbitrary exclusion of whole areas of literature. This thesis participates in this effort through the exploration of European literary and cultural transfers in Japan, in archaic times and in the Heisei era (1989-2019). After a first observation of our present context, it revisits the archaic transfers between Europe and Japan, in order to undermine the foundations of modernocentrisme and essentialism, and to rethink the chronology and the evolution of transcultural exchanges between these two cultural eras. A third step consists of the study of Japanese mangaesque literature and its neomedieval imaginary; in particular, two key titles of this trend are analysed: Vinland Saga and Spice & Wolf. This transcultural and transtextual facet of contemporary literary creation illustrates the importance of extending the boundaries and defining criteria of literature. It also reflects the growing place of Japan on the literary chessboard and the role of the European Middle Ages in the re-enchantment of the world, of which postmodernity is the vector

University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Education.This thesis examines the construction processes of language, culture and identities in relation to both the macro level of society and culture, as well as the micro-individual level. It argues that there is a need to understand these constructions beyond discrete notions of language, identities and culture. The thesis mobilises performativity theory to explore how exposure to a variety of practices during the life trajectory has an impact on the construction and performance of language, identities and culture. It shows how a theory of performativity can provide a comprehensive account of the complex process of, and the relationships between, hybridisation (engagement in a range of cultural practices) and monolithication (nostalgic attachments to familiar practices). The thesis also suggests that the deployment of performativity theory with a focus on individual biography as well as larger social-cultural factors may fill a gap left in some other modes of analysis such as Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Conversation Analysis (CA). Analysing data from four workplaces in Australia, the study focuses on trans-institutional talk, namely casual conversation in which people from a variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds work together. Following the suggestion (Pennycook 2003; Luke 2002) that there is a need to shift away from the understanding that a particular language is attached to a particular nation, territory and ethnicity, the thesis shows how discrete ethnic and linguistic labels such as ‘Japanese’ and ‘English’ as well as notions of ‘code-switching’ and ‘bi-lingualism’ become problematic in the attempt to grasp the complexity of contemporary transcultural workplaces. The thesis also explores the potential agency of subjects at the convergence of various discourses through iterative linguistic and cultural performances. In summary, the thesis provides deeper insight into transcultural performances to show the links between idiosyncratic individual performances and the construction of transcultural linguistic, cultural phenomena within globalisation.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse étudie les spécificités du discours produit par les femmes écrivains de la diaspora afro-caribéenne au Canada et aux Etats-Unis, notamment chez Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall, M. NourbeSe Philip, et Olive Senior. La position ambivalente de ces auteures qui sont culturellement dedans et dehors influence leurs écrits, en prose comme en poésie, dans lesquels elles revendiquent leurs histoires, leurs corps et leurs langues. La discussion s’attache à observer les opérations discursives en démontrant que les auteures étudiées articulent de nouvelles formes de subjectivité et prouvent que la formation des identités culturelles ne dépend pas d’un territoire stable, mais plutôt d’un espace culturel mobile, voire volatile. D’une part, ces femmes réécrivent le passé dans un discours qui déstabilise les versions hégémoniques de l’histoire et d’autre part, elles cherchent à représenter leurs corps en dépassant leur dimension matérielle et choisissent d’embrasser leur schizophrénie culturelle. Leurs projets brisent le silence et libèrent les subjectivités incontrôlées à travers la création de polyphonies incarnées, de multiples contre discours et d’énoncés non-conformistes. Les constructions discursives de leur moi ne pouvant en effet se manifester qu’à l’extérieur des terminologies canoniques, ces auteures s’inscrivent dans une démarche de résistance au discours unique et privilégient a fortiori une rhétorique hétéroglossique. En somme, cette analyse comparative est innovante en ce qu’elle démontre que mémoires, langues et identités diasporiques sont intimement liées, et qu’au delà de leurs démarches respectives et des stratégies discursives qui leur sont propres, ces auteures sont des écrivains du limbo qui, à la manière des danseurs de limbo, transforment l’instabilité en une expérience de recréation artistique. Elles placent leurs représentations au coeur d’une dynamique empreinte de mouvement, de fluidité, de pluralité et d’hybridité, et prouvent clairement que la diaspora féminine caribéenne peut faire entendre sa voixThis dissertation examines the specific discourse produced by diasporic African Caribbean women writers in Canada and the USA, namely Edwidge Danticat, Nalo Hopkinson, Jamaica Kincaid, Paule Marshall, M. NourbeSe Philip, and Olive Senior. These authors’ ambivalent positions as both cultural insiders and outsiders are conveyed through their prose and poetry, in which they reclaim their histories, bodies and tongues. The thesis highlights discourse operations in demonstrating that the selected authors articulate new forms of subjectivity, hence proving that cultural identities do not depend on static territories but rather on mobile and even volatile cultural spaces. Besides reconstructing the past through a discourse that truly unsettles hegemonic versions of history, African Caribbean diasporic women writers represent their bodies beyond materiality and choose to embrace their cultural schizophrenia. Their projects consist in un-silencing the unruly selves through the creation of embodied polyphonies, multiple counter-voices and anti-conformist utterances. The discursive constructions of the self therefore occur outside of canonical terminology, as these women writers resist single-voiced discourse and favour heteroglossic rhetorics. Ultimately, this comparative literary analysis is innovative as it proves that diasporic memories, tongues and identities are interlinked, and that beyond their respective agendas and personal discursive strategies, these authors are limbo writers who, like limbo dancers, transform instability into a recreative and artistic experience. They inscribe their self-representations into a powerful dialectic of movement, fluidity, plurality and hybridity, and truly demonstrate that the feminine Caribbean diaspora can speak

Full textAbstract:
Abstract : The following dissertation provides a comparative analysis of four Québécois and Canadian literary authors—Fulvio Caccia, Ying Chen, Wayson Choy, and Lawrence Hill—and the manner in which they have responded through varied use of genre to present-day racial and ethnic discourse, as it occurs within both wider society and the Canadian and Québécois literary institutions more specifically. The dissertation begins with an introductory chapter that takes up the central concepts that inform the study, namely, those of ethnic literature, écriture migrante, race, ethnicity, hybridity, transculture, and comparative literature. The main body of the dissertation is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the francophone authors Caccia and Chen, the second with the anglophone authors Choy and Hill. In the first part, the writers are shown to employ defamiliarizing and ‘unreadable’ literary strategies drawn from the nouveau roman (or French new novel) and fantastic literary genres in an effort to resist common understandings of race and ethnicity, with the creation of a universal, deracialized literary space resulting to differing degrees in each case. In the second part, the study focuses on the use that Choy and Hill have made of more traditional and readable literary forms—realist and autobiographical in nature—in the attempt not so much to reject outright the discourse of race and ethnicity but to resignify the meaning of these latter terms in ways that allow for the production of a more open sense of identity. In this regard, by informing and historicizing certain cultural realities (here, Chinese Canadian and African Canadian respectively), Choy and Hill seek to challenge the reductive views that have in the past affected these often marginalized segments of Canadian society. Ultimately, the dissertation attempts to explore how the four authors in question participate in a shared project of sorts through their contestation of dominant racial and ethnic discourse, despite the different stylistic approaches they may take. A secondary aspect of the project addresses, through recourse to reader-response theory, some of the difficulties that may arise when a mainstream readership approaches works of ethnic literature.Résumé : La thèse qui suit présente une analyse comparée de quatre auteurs québécois et canadiens—Fulvio Caccia, Ying Chen, Wayson Choy et Lawrence Hill—et la façon dont ils sont intervenus face au discours de la race et de l’ethnicité tel qu’il existe à ce moment dans la société et dans les institutions littéraires du Canada et du Québec—et cela à partir d’un emploi de divers genres littéraires. L’introduction de l’étude passe en revue les concepts centraux qui sous-tendent la thèse, à savoir ceux de la ‘littérature ethnique’ (ethnic literature), l’écriture migrante, la race, l’ethnicité, l’hybridité culturelle, la transculture et la littérature comparée. Le texte principal de la thèse comprend deux parties, la première portant sur les écrivains francophones Caccia et Chen, la deuxième sur les écrivains anglophones Choy et Hill. La première partie cherche à rendre compte de comment Caccia et Chen ont recours dans leurs écrits à des procédés littéraires défamiliarisants et ‘illisibles’ tirés du nouveau roman et de la littérature fantastique dans le but de subvertir les lieux communs sur la race et l’ethnicité, avec comme résultat la production d’un espace littéraire qui est à différents degrés universel et déracialisé. La deuxième partie traite de l’emploi que font Choy et Hill de styles littéraires plus traditionnels et lisibles—de nature réaliste et autobiographique—avec l’objectif non pas de rejeter tout court le discours de la race et de l’ethnicité, mais de réinscrire ces dernières notions de telle façon à rendre possible une vue de l’identité plus ouverte. À cet égard, en remettant dans leur contexte social et historique certaines réalités culturelles (ici, sino-canadienne et afro-canadienne respectivement), Choy et Hill arrivent à contester les idées réductives qui dans le passé ont été faites de ces secteurs souvent marginalisés de la société canadienne. En fin de compte, la thèse tente de mettre en lumière la manière dont les quatre auteurs en question participent en quelque sorte à un projet partagé en conséquence de leur opposition au discours dominant de la race et de l’ethnicité, bien que leurs approches stylistiques soient sensiblement différentes. En s’appuyant sur les théories de la lecture, un aspect secondaire de l’étude aborde quelques-uns des problèmes qui peuvent se produire lorsqu’un lectorat de la société majoritaire cherche à lire un texte migrant.

Full textAbstract:
Le sujet n'existe pas en dehors de son rapport à la culture et à la société, ni du langage qui le construisent. Le passage transculturel peut déchoir le sujet de la place qui lui était donné au sein de sa langue maternelle. Et ce dernier se retrouve inévitablement étranger, en recherche d'une modalité d'existence. Le passage touche les fondements mêmes des identifications et peut confronter le sujet à une bascule entre l'angoisse de disparition et la liberté due à une illusion d'un affranchissement de la castration. Cependant, une coupure dans le rapport du sujet à l'Autre n'élimine pas les questionnements sur son être sexué : au contraire, le hors-norme de leur position est susceptible de les réactiver. Tout le monde connaît le fameux aphorisme de Simone de Beauvoir : « On ne naît pas femme on le devient »1. Ce constat fait un écho à la position de Sigmund Freud qui s’interroge jusqu’à la fin de sa vie sur ce que veut la femme. Le premier à mettre en doute les normes innées du sexe biologique, il démontre, grâce au complexe d’Œdipe, les chemins qu’emprunte le sujet comme être social pour devenir homme ou femme. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous examinons les chemins que peuvent emprunter certaines femmes – migrantes russophones de la première génération – prises dans la problématique du devenir féminin dans le contexte d'un entre-deux du passageThe subject doesn't exist apart from its relation to culture and society nor frome the language that constructs it. The transcultural passage can deprive the subject of his place within the mother-tongue, and he finds himself inevitably foreign, in search of a modality of existence. The passage touches the very foundations of the identifications and can confront the subject to a rocking between the anguish of disappearance and the liberty due to an illusion of the freedoom from castration. However, an abruption in the relation of the subject to the Other does not eliminate the questions about his sexual being : on the contrary, the out-of-norm of their position is susceptible to reactivate them. Everyone knows the famous aphorism of Simone de Beauvoir : « One is not born, bay rather becomes, a woman ». This observation echoes the position of Sigmund Freud who questions himself until the end of his life on what the woman wants. The first to question the innate norms of sex, he demonstrates, with the aid of the Oedipus complex, the paths that the subject takes as a social being to become a man or a woman. In this thesis, we examine the paths that find some women taken in the issue of women's becoming in the context of a transcultural passage. All of them are the first-generation Russian-speaking migrants

Full textAbstract:
Le vieillissement de la population des tunisiens des Trente Glorieuses en France, n’est pas épargné par le phénomène Alzheimer, à l’heure où la maladie connaît une stigmatisation et une popularisation intenses tant dans les sociétés occidentales que dans les pays en voie de développement. En référence aux travaux de M. Péruchon, G. Le Gouès ou encore A.-M. Gardey, la mise en évidence de l’involution démentielle, accompagnée de l’atteinte des repères et des limites identitaires, sont abordées selon une approche transculturelle. L’analyse du fonctionnement psychique de dix tunisiens vivant en France en comparaison avec dix tunisiens vivant en Tunisie, tous âgés de plus de soixante ans et souffrant de la démence dite Alzheimer, est proposée à partir de protocoles issus du Thematic Apperception Test. Tandis que l’évidement représentationnel ne diffère pas d’une population à l’autre, l’étude a mis en évidence une altération de la représentation de soi plus marquée dans le groupe de sujets immigrés. L’épreuve migratoire semblerait également renforcer la recherche d’une relation d’objet archaïque où les pulsions d’attachement et d’agrippement tiennent une place centrale. Entre voyage et décolonisation, la double culture est ici présentée par un travail qui plaide en faveur d’un relativisme des données universelles véhiculées par le monde biomédical. Comprendre les représentations culturelles en présence, vise à nous fournir des éléments pour une prise en charge adaptée de nos aînés ; accablés par les effets de l’appartenance à une catégorie socio-culturelle minoritaire, et dont l’identité est souvent définie par la perte et le déficit neuro-dégénératifThe aging of the Tunisian population during the so called TrenteGlorieuses in France is not spared by Alzheimer phenomenon at a time when the disease has an intense stigma and popularization as much in western societies as in developing countries . With reference to the work of M. Peruchon, G. Le Gouès or A.-M. Gardey highlight of the dementia involution in addition to the achievement of benchmarks and identity limits are all addressed in a transcultural approach. The analysis of psychic functioning of ten Tunisians living in France compared with ten Tunisians living in Tunisia, all over the age of sixty years and suffering from the dementia so called Alzheimer's is suggested with protocols coming from the Thematic Apperception Test. While the representational ‘scooping out’ does not differ from one population to another, the study has highlighted a modification of a self-representation more pronounced in the group of immigrant subjects. The migration phase seems also to strengthen the research of archaic object relationship where the impulses of attachment and grasping have an important role. In between travel and colonization, the joint-culture is presented here in a job that speaks in favour of a relativism of universal data carried out by the biomedical world. Understand cultural representations so mentioned aims to provide us with elements for an appropriate care of our seniors overwhelmed by the effects of belonging to a socio-cultural minority whose identity is often defined by the loss and neurodegenerative deficit

Full textAbstract:
My thesis examines the concept of the transcultural in the contemporary African novel, specifically in Le Cavalier et son ombre (1997) by Boubacar Boris Diop, Cinéma (1997) by Tiermo Monénembo, Le lys et le flamboyant (1997) by Henri Lopes and Rue Félix-Faure (2005) by Ken Bugul. I define the transcultural as the diverse novelistic operations of appropriation or re-appropriation, interpretation or reinterpretation, as well as the borrowing of cultural signs from many different places. The transcultural thus elucidates the way in which the contemporary African novel positions itself within a conceptual space of buzzing cultural activity. Yet critics often insist on the difference and identity of African fiction and consign it to a unique status that can only amount to exclusion and discrimination.
I use critical concepts such as Marc Angenot’s acceptability, Jean-Marc Ela’s bricolage and indocility, Giorgio Agamben’s exception, and Greimas and Meschonnic’s sign to emphasize the transgressive value of the transcultural option adopted by the novels studied. Thus, the novel appears as the locus of multiple crossings: the crossing of micro-narratives that proclaim the end of master narratives; the crossing of genres and of art forms (orality, music, cinema, sculpture, photography); the crossing of discourses. The transcultural seizes the novel and perverts it, turning it into a disparate mixture, because the novel itself is by nature unstable and irresolute.
I conclude that the contemporary African novel, while having its frames of reference, nevertheless escapes all attempts at fixing its identity and definition because it is a framework in which generic, cultural, geographic and spatial frontiers break down and cease to present any clear configuration. The contemporary African novel increasingly constitutes itself in the fluctuating interstices of space and of literary and artistic genres, all of which writers continue to appropriate and re-appropriate.Arts, Faculty of

Une écriture du transculturel ne peut que charrier les interrogations liées à l’identitaire et aux appartenances multiples, se positionnant ainsi vis-à-vis des dérives du multiculturalisme – s’agissant d’Hédi Bouraoui en tout cas. Le passage du multi au trans donne lieu à des variations thématiques autour de la question des transferts culturels et des frontières de l’imaginaire. L’analyse des stratégies scripturaires mises en oeuvre en fiction est à même de nous révéler le fonctionnement d’une écriture qui échappe aux catégorisations de l’entre-deux. L’écriture serait ce langage spécifique où s’articule la quête transculturelle, transfrontalière et interstitielleAny piece of writing in the trans-cultural is inevitably conducive to questionings related to matters of identity and various belongings, taking this stand towards the flows of multiculturalism – concerning Hedi Bouraoui in any case. The shift from multi to trans brings about some thematic variations around the questions of cultural transactions and the boundaries of the imaginary. The analysis of scriptural writings practiced in fiction is bound to reveal to us the functioning of a writing that escapes the categorisations of the in-between. Writing would be this specific language where the trans-cultural, cross-border and interstitial quest is articulated

Full textAbstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Interpretation vier ausgewählter Filme des Filmemachers Ang Lee – Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Brokeback Mountain und Hulk, die in den Jahren 1992 bis 2005 entstanden. Sie erforscht die unterschiedliche Inszenierung von Konzepten der Männlichkeit im chinesischen und US-amerikanischen Kontext, sowie den Männlichkeitsdiskurs in Räumen des kulturellen Üergangs.
Die Untersuchung Lees männlicher Figuren und Männlichkeitskonzepte macht sich sowohl die chinesische als auch die westliche erkenntnistheoretische Perspektive zu eigen, dabei ist Untersuchung sowohl konzeptionell als auch analytisch angelegt. Auf der konzeptionellen Ebene soll sie zeigen, wie sich die Konstruktion von Männlichkeitskonzepten unter der Einbeziehung nicht nur der westlichen konzeptionellen Argumentation von transkulturellen Räumen (Transdifferenz), sondern auch von andersartigen erkenntnistheoretischen Perspektiven, hier der chinesischen, besser erklären lässt. Auf der analytischen Ebene werden in der Untersuchung der Inszenierung männlicher Figuren audio-visuelle Textanalysen benutzt.
Die Analyse hat deutlich die Komplexität und Vielfältigkeit der Aushandlung von Männlichkeitskonzepten in transkulturellen Räumen gezeigt, wobei die Rekonstruktion und die Neuverhandlung von Männlichkeit sowohl emanzipatorisch als auch repressiv von statten gehen kann. Männliche Protagonisten bei Lee finden drei unterschiedliche Wege, ihre männliche Identität zu konstruieren. Als erste Lösung unterdrücken sie den transdifferenten Aspekt und wählen die klare Zugehörigkeit zu einer der Kulturen, die dann als Ursprung für die Restauration der Männlichkeit dient. Die zweite Lösung ist das Annehmen der Transdifferenz um eine mehrdeutige maskuline Identität im transkulturellen Raum aufzubauen. Als letzte Lösung gelingt es einen männlichen Figuren, kulturelle Grenzen zu überschreiten und eine transkulturelle Männlichkeit zu manifestieren.This dissertation consists of readings of four selected films by Ang Lee — Pushing Hands, The Wedding Banquet, Brokeback Mountain and Hulk, ranging over a decade from 1992 to 2005. It explores Lee’s representation of diverse Chinese and American masculinities, discussing negotiations of masculinities in transcultural spaces. My exploration of Lee’s representation of men and masculinities is equipped with double epistemological perspectives, namely, both Chinese and Western. My project is both conceptual and analytical. On the conceptual level, I intend to demonstrate how constructions of masculinities can be more productively explained by employing not only the Western conceptual arguments of transcultural space (transdifference) but also by reading this space from different epistemological perspectives, namely the Western and Chinese. On the analytical level, I employ audio and visual textual analysis in my examination of Lee’s portrayal of male figures. My analysis has clearly demonstrated the complexity and multiplicity in negotiations of masculinities in transcultural spaces, which can be both emancipatory and repressive in re-constructing and re-negotiating one’s masculinity. Male subjectivities in Lee’s films turn to three different ways to construct or reconstruct their manliness. First, men suppress trandifference and opt for a clear belonging to a certain culture, in particular, the culture of origin for masculinity restoration. Second, men embrace transidifference to construct an ambiguous masculine identity in transcultural spaces. Third, men might transcend cultural boundaries to demonstrate transcultural manhood.

Cette étude est une approche contrastive, multimodale et transculturelle décrivant et analysant l’espace gestuel et le rôle des gestes, du regard et de la prosodie dans des cas de reformulation chez des locuteurs francophones et chez des locuteurs hispanophones.A l’intérieur de chacune de ces aires linguistiques, nous comparons l’espace gestuel et la reformulation dans trois cultures différentes : dans l'aire francophone, nous comparons l’espace gestuel des locuteurs français de France Métropolitaine (Europe) à celui des locuteurs québécois,(Amérique du Nord) et des locuteurs cadjins de Louisiane (Amérique du Nord). Dans l'aire hispanophone, nous comparons l’espace gestuel des locuteurs espagnols (Europe) à celui des locuteurs argentins (Amérique du Sud) et des locuteurs vénézuéliens (Amérique du Sud). Nous analysons les différences et/ou similitudes qui existent chez des locuteurs parlant la même langue dans des contextes culturels différents. Nous avons choisi d’étudier l'espace gestuel et la reformulation de ces locuteurs à partir d'un corpus télévisé.Le corpus établi nous permet d’analyser l’espace gestuel des locuteurs selon le schéma de Pedelty repris par D. Mc Neill (1992) qui permet une double lecture de l’espace gestuel : sur l’axe vertical(buste, tête, au-dessus de la tête), sur l’axe horizontal (près du corps, loin du corps). Ensuite, nous étudions le rôle des gestes et du regard, en relation avec les variations intonatives, dans le processus de reformulation en situation d’interview orale. Nous analysons la fonction de l'amplitude gestuelle et des gestes de captage et points d'éclosion, étudiés par D. McNeill et M. A. Morel, en relation avec le rôle des orientations du regard et de la courbe de fréquence fondamentale, dans différents exemples de reformulation du discours oral. Nous analysons en quoi ces trois modalités du discours oral ont une double fonction d’aide à la construction du propre discours et d’aide à l’intercompréhension dans le contexte de co-énonciationWe present a multimodal, contrastive and transcultural approach of the gesture space of French speaking area and Spanish-speaking area. We describe and analyse the gesture space on the one hand and on the other hand, the function of gesture, eyes directions and prosody in reformulation examples in French-speaking area and Spanish-speaking area.In each French or Spanish speaking area, we compare gesture space and reformulation in three different cultural areas : in French-speaking area, we compare the gesture space of French speakers of Metropolitan France, (Europe), Quebec speakers, (North America), Cajun speakers in Louisiana (North America) and in Spanish-speaking area, we compare the gesture space of Spanish speakers from Spain (Europe), speakers from Argentina (South America), speakers from Venezuela (South America). We analyse the differences and/or the similarities amongst speakers with a common language, either French or Spanish, but a different cultural environment. We decided to study gesture space and reformulation and recorded from a television corpus. Therefore, with this corpus,we can analyse gesture space speakers refering to the diagram “Division of the gesture space for transcription purposes” from Pedelty, which is presented in D. Mc Neill (1992). This diagram allows us to obtain a double reading of gesture space : on the vertical axis (trunk, head, beyondhead), on the horizontal axis (close to the body and far from the body). Afterwards, we analyse the function of gesture and eyes directions and their relationship with the intonative variations during the reformulation process in an oral interview. We analyse the functionof gesture amplitude and the function of catchments and growthpoints, studied by D. Mc Neill andM.A. Morel and their relationship with the function of eyes directions and the fundamentalfrequency (F0) variability with different examples of reformulation in the oral speech. Thereforewe analyse how these three modalities seem to have a double function to help the construction ofthe own speech and/or to help the intercomprehension, the mutual understanding in the coenunciativeprocess

This research proposes a digital educational game focused on the learning of Japanese kanji. Its fundamentals are culturally based in the Japanese immigration to Brazil and, combined with the concepts and theories of transculturalism and topophilia, lead to a reflection of cultural appreciation and its hybridization. Such approaches fall within the overall context of combinations and adaptations, covering digital productions structured in accordance to concepts and theories from several areas of knowledge. The methodology is to conceive a game based on the difficulties of learning the Japanese language identified in students of non‐Japanese origin and provided by studies from other authors. It is also based on educational, psychological, philosophical and entertainment methodological assumptions organizing themselves in a position to produce an educational game, entertaining above all, that suits the needs of this generation used to challenges and reward systems. Based on such studies, some of the games found on the Internet and in the market were analyzed. It is discussed the transposition among medias, with an approach of the new media, focusing on the indication of the gaming platforms, according to the content. The process of designing and producing the game is optimized by the association of ideas and creation of an structured and elaborate game design documentation. The project creation is guided by the work process flow of a game, in which are demonstrated the steps and interactions between the teams involved in that production. The procedural and technical problems of the participants are reported by the teaching experience in the classroom, better placing and clarifying the title of this research
A presente pesquisa propõe um jogo digital educacional voltada para o aprendizado dos ideogramas japoneses. Seus fundamentos fincam‐se culturalmente na imigração japonesa no Brasil, que conjugados aos conceitos teóricos de transculturalismo e topofilia conduzem a uma reflexão de valorização das culturas e hibridização das mesmas. Tais abordagens se inserem no contexto global de mesclas e adaptações, que abarcam produções digitais estruturados em conceitos e teorias provenientes de diversos campos do conhecimento. Metodologicamente concebe um jogo, a partir de dificuldades de aprendizagem da língua japonesa detectadas em alunos não descendentes japoneses, providas por estudos de outros autores. Alicerça‐se também em pressupostos metodológicos educacionais, psicológico, filosófico e lúdico, organizando‐se na condição de produzir um jogo educativo, acima de tudo divertido, que se adequa aos anseios dessa geração acostumada a desafios e sistema de recompensas. Tomando como base tais estudos, analisa alguns jogos encontrados na internet e no mercado. Discute a transposição entre os meios, com abordagem das novas mídias, incidindo no apontamento das plataformas de games, conforme conteúdo. O processo de concepção e produção do game, é otimizado pela associação de ideias, e elaboração estruturada da documentação de design de game. A construção do projeto é norteada pelo fluxo de processo de trabalho de um game, em que se demonstram as etapas e interações entre as equipes envolvidas nesta produção. Os problemas técnicos e procedimentais dos participantes são relatados na experiência didática ocorrida em sala de aula, situando e compreendendo melhor o título deste trabalho de pesquisa

With rising demand for a workforce that can work cross-culturally (Mangan, 2011; Orahood, Woolf, & Kruze, 2008), it is not surprising that study abroad numbers continue to increase to a range of countries, destinations, and program types (Open Doors, 2012). However, while study abroad is often touted as the ideal means to incite linguistic and cultural competence, the reality of student learning is not a given (Alred & Byram, 2002; de Nooy & Hanna, 2003; Einbeck, 2002; Freed, 1995; Kearney, 2010; Kinginger, 2008; Kinginger, 2009; Rivers, 1998; Wilkinson, 2000). If higher education wishes to endorse study abroad as a means to acquire the crucial knowledge, skills, and attitudes of a globalized workforce (Miller, 2009), it is imperative that colleges and universities promote and integrate study abroad into the curriculum to foster the development of 21st century global citizens. In order to examine what businesses actually valued in hiring, Trooboff, Vande Berg, and Rayman (2007) surveyed employers and found not only that they valued study abroad as a form of international education, but also that they specifically valued many intercultural skills. However, on average, the respondents did not believe that studying abroad led to the enhancement of these skills, echoing the dominant discourse of study abroad being a frivolous endeavor for wealthy white women (Gore, 2005). Trooboff et al. (2007) noted that students need to be better trained to translate their experiences for their potential employers. In a similar vein, Root and Ngampornchai (2012) recommended that students be trained in intercultural communication to better help them articulate their learning. Nevertheless, Deardorff (2008) noted that intercultural training should not be limited to pre-departure orientation, but that a series of workshops or even a course could help address intercultural learning needs. While a number of courses of this nature have been offered either before departure or upon return (eg.

While a number of courses of this nature have been offered either before departure or upon return (eg. Brewer & Solberg, 2009; Downey, 2005), it appears that only one study to date examined the process of intercultural learning as it relates to study abroad (Anderson & Cunningham, 2009). The current study attempts to fill the gap in research by examining the effectiveness of a three-credit general education course in intercultural communication on the process of becoming interculturally competent. Additionally, it also examined the ability of post-study abroad students who enrolled in this course to articulate what they had learned while abroad in comparison with post-study abroad students who had not enrolled in the course. While most of the students (n = 33) participating in this study had enrolled in the course in intercultural communication were preparing to study abroad, there were also a number of participating students (n = 6) who had previously studied abroad. In this mixed-methods research, whose findings are reported in three separate, yet related, articles, answers to the following research questions were sought: 1. How does intercultural competence develop in post-study abroad students over the span of a semester-long course focused on the development of intercultural communication skills through critical reflection? The first article of this dissertation examines the process of unpacking the study abroad experience two students went through upon return to the home campus through the lens of experiential learning (Kolb, 1984), transformative learning (Mezirow, 2000), and ethnocentric versus ethnorelative worldviews (Bennett, 1993). The second article uses these same frameworks to investigate the learning process for four pre-study abroad students enrolled in this same course to answer the question: 2. Are there noticeable differences in the development of intercultural competence in pre-study abroad students who are enrolled in a semester-long course focused on the development of intercultural competence? Lastly, the third article examines how post-study abroad students articulated their learning abroad differently by answering the question: 3. Are post-study abroad

‘Transcultural aesthetics’, in Proceedings of the Pacific Rim Conference in Transcultural Aesthetics (1998), is a generic term used by comparative philosophers and aestheticians to denote a theoretical assessment of distinctive applied aesthetic concepts and experience of cultures. This thesis is concerned with transcultural art and transcultural aesthetics, and it uses the argument put forward by comparative philosopher and aesthetician Eliot Deutsch, in his On Truth: An Ontological Theory (1979), that its practitioners’ distinctive art forms, especially Anselm Kiefer, Imants Tillers, John Young, Gao Xingjian, Helmut Federle and Lee Ufan, all bear a consistent singular presentation of intentionality – crossing boundaries that are philosophical, material and aesthetic – one that draws its relationship of unity-in-diversity (an expression of unity without uniformity and diversity without fragmentation) to pure human experience. I will analyse these art forms creation with reference to key transcultural concepts such as ‘catharsis’ (cleansing), ‘kenosis’ (emptying) and ‘homeostasis’ (harmonising into equilibrium), as drawn from the Chinese, Indian and European aesthetics traditions (commonly known as unity traditions by Philosopher Karl Jaspers) and argue that transcultural aesthetics calls for critical theoretical reflexion on the hermeneutics of discourse and action, as well as on the ‘selves-as-agents’ hermeneutic: a cultivation of insight into one’s own approach to the one regulative ideal of inter-dialogue among multiple cultures. These three key concepts of transcultural aesthetics allow practitioners to regard a form of transcultural unity as the site of their final purpose and meaning in their art and practices. Finally, the actions of practitioners in their practices are not performed in a moment of impulse, but rather they stemmed from a concerted, unified motivation.

Pendant l’année scolaire 2012/13, la France et l’Allemagne célèbrent le cinquantième anniversaire du Traité de l’Elysée. Ce traité bilatéral, signé le 22 janvier 1963 par le président de la République française Charles de Gaulle et le chancelier allemand Konrad Adenauer, a scellé un partenariat d’exception entre la France et l’Allemagne dans le domaine de l’éducation. A la suite du traité, en 1969, des premiers cursus bilingues français-allemands ont été établis dans les lycées allemands et français. Les élèves allaient ainsi devoir améliorer leurs connaissances de la langue française ou allemande afin de créer une nouvelle élite franco-allemande pour une Europe commune construite comme une troisième puissance dans le contexte de la Guerre froide. L’Enseignement d’une Matière par l’Intégration d’une Langue Etrangère (= EMILE) se répandit rapidement à partir des années 1990 suite au contrat de Maastricht. Aujourd’hui, l’Enseignement d’une Discipline Non-Linguistique (= DNL) existe pour plusieurs langues et matières dans tout l’espace européen. Ce type d’enseignement est très prisé dans le cadre de la politique linguistique européenne afin de promouvoir le « plurilinguisme ». En France, les sections internationales ont été mises en place en 1981 et les sections européennes en 1992. La France et l’Allemagne ont été les premières à créer un double diplôme, « l’abibac » (en 1994), qui permet aux élèves d’intégrer les établissements d’enseignements supérieurs du partenaire plus facilement. La thèse vise à une comparaison et évaluation de la plus-value didactique de l’enseignement bilingue en Histoire en France et en Allemagne. Depuis les origines de ce type d’enseignement, les didacticiens des langues vivantes se mettent facilement d’accord pour affirmer que celui-ci contribue à développer les compétences linguistiques des élèves ; mais les historiens ont des avis divergents concernant l’acquisition des compétences liées à l’apprentissage de l’Histoire. C’est pourquoi cette thèse cherche à donner des éléments de réponse aux questions suivantes : Dans quelle mesure l’enseignement apporte-t-il une plus-value pour le savoir et les compétences historiques de l’élève ? Peut-on parler de l’acquisition d’une compétence franco-allemande ou/ et européenne ? Pour cela, l’auteure emprunte le concept allemand de la « conscience historique » (« Geschichtsbewusstsein ») comme instrument heuristique et le situe dans une perspective européenne. Ainsi, elle constate que l’enseignement bilingue permet aux jeunes de s’orienter dans des contextes européens en s’appuyant sur les savoirs et des savoir-faire historiques spécifiques acquis dans les filières à condition que cet enseignement soit basé sur une coopération étroite entre les acteurs des deux pays. L’auteure présente le développement de cette coopération dans le contexte historique et culturel du rapprochement franco-allemand et situe ainsi la problématique dans une perspective de longue duréeIn 2013, France and Germany are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Élysée Treaty. This bilateral treaty, signed on 22 January 1963 by the President of the French Republic Charles de Gaulle and the German Chancellor Conrad Adenauer, sealed an exceptional partnership between France and Germany in the field of education. Following the treaty in 1969, the first bilingual French-German classes were established in German and French high schools. The students had to improve their knowledge of the French or German language in order to create new elite for a common Europe built as a third power in the context of the Cold War. The concept of Content and Language Integrated Learning (= CLIL) spread rapidly from the 1990s onwards following the Maastricht contract. Today, it is highly valued in the context of European language policy in order to promote "multilingualism". In France, the international sections were set up in 1981 and the European sections in 1992. France and Germany were the first to create a double diploma, the "AbiBac", created in 1994, enables the students to pass the German and the French Secondary School examination simultaneously. The priority is to develop intercultural skills through the reciprocal knowledge of the two cultures. The thesis aims at a comparison and evaluation of the didactic added value of bilingual education in France and Germany and deals the following questions: To what extent does bilingual teaching add value to the student's historical knowledge and skills? Can we observe an acquisition of a Franco-German and/or European competence? For this, we use the German concept of "historical consciousness" ("Geschichtsbewusstsein") as a heuristic instrument and place it in a European perspective. In the first part of this thesis, we present the development of this cooperation in the historical and cultural context of the Franco-German cooperation. The second part deals with the daily teaching practice and die the cross cultural potential of history teaching as CLIL. Thus, we note that bilingual education enables young people to orient themselves in European contexts by using their specific historical knowledge and skills acquired in school, provided that the education is based on close cooperation between the actors of the two countries. The interdisciplinary and intercultural approach of this project, the association of university research and practical experience in High-schools are the keys of this thesis

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva sjuksköterskors upplevelser av möten med patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund än deras egen, samt att beskriva de möjligheter och hinder som sjuksköterskor upplever i samband med vården av dessa patienter.
Metod Tolv kvalitativa studier från olika länder ingick i denna litteraturstudie, där forskare intervjuade sjuksköterskor och presenterade deras problem och erfarenheter. Vår studie analyserades enligt en kvalitativ metod.
Resultat Studien visade fyra fenomen som sjuksköterskor upplever i samband med vården av patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund; kommunikationen med patient, möten med familj/anhöriga, sjuksköterskornas erfarenheter av arbetssituationen vid kulturella möten och sjuksköterskornas kulturkunskap.
Slutsats Sjuksköterskor upplevde att kommunikation var det största hindret i möten med patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund. Tolk, kollegor och anhöriga sågs som möjligheter för att undvika de hinder som uppstår. Familj till patienter med annan kulturell bakgrund var oerhört betydelsefull i omvårdnaden av dessa patienter. Sjuksköterskor såg utbildning som en möjlighet för att öka deras kulturkunskap och ansåg att tillgång till tolk skulle underlätta vården.
Aim The purpose of this literature study was to describe nurses’ experiences of encounters with patients from different cultural backgrounds than their own, and to describe the opportunities and barriers that nurses’ face when caring for these patients.
Method Twelve qualitative studies from different countries were included in this literature study, in which researchers interviewed nurses and presented their problems and experiences. Our study was analyzed by using a qualitative approach.
Findings The study revealed four phenomena that nurses face when caring for patients from different cultural backgrounds; the communication with the patient, encounters with family/relatives, nurses’ experiences of working conditions in cultural encounters and cultural nursing knowledge.
Conclusion Nurses felt that communication was the biggest main obstacle in meetings with patients with different cultural backgrounds. Interpreter, colleagues and relatives were seen as opportunities to avoid the obstacles that arise. Family in patients with different cultural background was very important in nursing care of these patients. Nurses saw education as an opportunity to increase their cultural knowledge and believe that access to an interpreter would facilitate health care.

Full textAbstract:
Le dragon est le symbole national de la Chine et le coq de la France. Le dragon est un animal imaginé, le coq un animal réel. Ils diffèrent d’autres symboles nationaux comme l’aigle germanique dont l’image évoque d’emblée la force et l’autorité. Pourquoi les deux ont pu servir de façon stable de symbole national : quelles caractéristiques ont-ils ? quelles conditions ont-ils remplies dans l’Histoire pour acquérir ce statut ? On essaye de répondre à ces questions en trois parties. La Partie I étudie la présence des deux symboles dans des domaines de la vie courante. On trouve que cette présence produit une familiarité qui permet à tous les groupes sociaux d’identifier leur apparition. La Partie II concerne l’iconographie et l’esthétique. Leurs évolutions morphologiques révèlent une combinaison d’humain-animal. On découvre ainsi que les deux symboles présentent des schèmes communs : la force, le privilège, le pouvoir, etc. Cette image est néanmoins obtenue de façon différente : le dragon de face est lié à l’empereur et le coq à une image de chevalier et de héros. La Partie III aborde la littérature à travers l’étude de la nomination et du rôle. L’étude sur la nomination révèle que leurs nom et appellation confirment les schèmes déjà identifiés de leader, d’empereur et d’élite, permettant au dragon ou au coq, de manifester l’autorité d’empereur (roi), de héros civilisateur ou d’ancêtre mythique. Ces similitudes rapprochent leur image du symbole national. A côté de ces aspects homogènes, se dessine une hétérogénéité dans la construction de l’image des deux symboles sur la personnalité idéale : l’empereur pour les Chinois et le héros pour les FrançaisThe dragon is the national symbol of China and the rooster is of France. The dragon is an imagined animal; the rooster is a real. They are different from other symbols such as Germanic eagle who evokes strength and authority at the first sight. Why the dragon and the rooster could have been served as a country’s symbol: what characteristics do they have? what conditions have they fulfilled in the history to win this place? We try to answer the questions with three parts. The part I studies the two symbols’ presence in daily life. We find that a frequent presence produces a familiarity that allows all social communities to identify the appearance. The part II is on the iconography and aesthetics. The morphological evolutions of the two symbols reveal that their image combines the human and the animal. We discover that the two symbols present common schemas: strength, privilege, power, etc. Nevertheless, their image is obtained in a different way. The frontal dragon is in connection with the emperor, the rooster with an image of knight and hero. The part III focuses on the literature, discusses the nomination and the role. The study on the nomination reveals that the two animals’ name and appellation confirm the identified schemas of leader, emperor and elite, which allow the literary character, dragon or rooster, to manifest their authority of emperor (king), civilizing hero or mythical ancestor. These similarities bring their image closer to the national symbol. Besides the homogeneous aspects, we find a heterogeneity in the construction of the two symbols’ image on the ideal personality of the two countries: the emperor for the Chinese and the hero for the Frenchmen

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation focuses on a paradigm shift that is taking place within the field of cultural memory studies. Recently, several scholars from around the world have focused on the possibility of transcultural memory and the transcultural construction of meaning. My research offers a constructive addition to the current theory, namely that transcultural memory is not as broad and universal as many understand. To support this argument, I have taken the Alexander von Humboldt reception history within the United States and Germany to demonstrate that transcultural memory coalesces around specific memory sites that are mutually constructed among cultures for a common purpose. I show that in the years following German reunification, the U.S.-American and German textual representation, use, and understanding of Alexander von Humboldt have come to be practically identical. I go on to posit that it is in such specific instances that transcultural memory is created, and not through a supposedly universal and transnational remembrance of historical events. My research clarifies certain concepts and elements regarding the turn to the transcultural in recent memory studies in that it demands a much more specific and concrete understanding of the processes at work in meaning making in an interconnected and globalized world. In order to show such a shared transcultural understanding, I have collected and studied all published materials regarding Alexander von Humboldt in the United States and Germany since the year 1990. In this way, my dissertation serves not only to support my central thesis regarding the constitution of transcultural memory, it also functions as a detailed textual survey of Humboldt within the two cultures over the last twenty-five years.

Previous issue date: 2012Este trabalho tem por finalidade a análise comparativa da figura do ameríndio, dentro de um processo de formação de identidade multicultural, nos romances Maíra, do brasileiro Darcy Ribeiro e Ashini, do quebequense Yves Thériault. Trata-se de examinar as possibilidades de reconstrução, via ficção, da imagem de comunidades étnicas postas habitualmente à margem da sociedade. As obras escolhidas tematizam o hibridismo, a memória, a territorialização; caracterizam também o índio como sujeito-cidadão. Nosso alicerce teórico remete principalmente aos conceitos bakhtinianos de discurso, dialogismo, polifonia que nos ajudaram a reler os textos, a reconstruí-los com vista a uma reflexão crítica sobre a realidade histórica dos índios do Brasil e do Canadá, assim como sobre o imaginário projetado sobre ambas as comunidades através de seus representantes ficcionais. Além de Bakhtin, temos solicitado igualmente os recursos de Néstor Canclini e Homi Bhabha para esclarecer os conflitos interétnicos suscitados nos textos peã presença de personagens que, por mais estranhos que possam parecer, são membros autênticos de nossa americanidade

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse s'inscrit dans le champ des études sur la réception d'une part et des travaux sur le rôle des médias dans l'émancipation des minorités. tel qu'on peut le retrouver dans un courant des Cultural studies d'autre part.D'un point de vue théorique, j'ai réalisé une revue des principaux travaux de réception avec une attention portée particulièrement à la notion de décodage et à la construction des identités. La démarche empirique m'a conduit auprès des immigrés subsahariens et leurs descendants en banlieue parisienne, impliqués dans un processus transculturel de construction de soi. Et je me suis notamment appuyé sur les récits de vie pour observer leur relation complexe avec les mass médias. D'une manière générale, l'image de l'immigré et de leurs descendants renvoyée par les contenus médiatiques comporte selon eux une forte charge négative par conséquent nuisible à leur expression citoyenne. Les attentes d'une meilleure représentativité ethnique sont fortes et à défaut d'une alliance avec les médias de masse dans leurs aspirations, internet et les réseaux sociaux semblent constituer aujourd'hui une alternative pertinente. Internet en tant que média leur apporte une meilleure offre en matière d'informations, de solutions de visibilité et surtout une interactivité qui fait d'eux des récepteurs complètement actifs. L'histoire de ces trajectoires existentielles interpelle en effet la société en général et les médias de masse en particulier sur la nécessité d'accompagner la construction des identités dans un monde en grande mutationThis thesis deals with the topic of reception studies on the one hand and works on the role of the media in the emancipation of minorities on the other hand. Cultural studies which conceive the uses of the media as spaces From a theoretical point of view, I have made a review of the main works on reception, with particular attention given to the notion of decoding and the construction of identity. The empirical approach led me to treat sub Saharan immigrants and their descendants in the Parisian suburbs involved in a transcultural process of self-construction. I notably relied on their life stories to observe their complex relationship with the mass media. In general, the image of the immigrants and their descendants reflected in the media includes a strong negative connotation which is, consequently, harmful to their expression as citizens. Expectations of a better ethnic representativeness are strong, and, lacking an alliance with the media in these expectations, the Internet and the social media seem to constitute today a relevant alternative. The Internet is a more useful tool for them in terms of information, solutions of visibility and is especially an interactivity which makes them active receptors.The story of these existential trajectories calls out to society in general and the media in particular on the necessity of accompanying the construction of identities in an ever-changing world

La incapacitat de l'actual model societari de prospectar solucions viables a les derives terroristes, a la concentració de la riquesa, a la degradació ambiental, als desequilibris socioeconòmics entre Nord i Sud, als problemes de convivència multicultural i a la degeneració del mòn de la política invoquen la necessitat d'un nou paradigma que reestructuri, a llur arrel més profunda, els nostres esquemes col·lectius de relació amb la realitat. Encara que en aquests últims anys s'hagin multiplicat les veus que demanen un canvi ètic dels nostres models de convivència, la trasformació paradigmàtica esperada es podrà fer només amb una nova manera de pensar les relacions entre els clàssics dualismes d'oposició: Occident vs Islam, raó vs irracionalitat, ciència vs religió, etc. En aquest estudi proposem un nou enfocament d'interpretació de la realitat, una lògica contradictorial capaç d'acollir amb nou rigor científic la dimensió del Sagrat i obrir-se amb ulls renovats a les tradicions religioses. A partir d'un estudi aprofundit i crític de la filosofía de S. Lupasco, i amb la contribució del pensament de A. N. Whitehead i R. Panikkar, intentem l'elaboració d'allò que, amb l'ajuda de les paraules de L. Duch, anomenem una «Logomítica musical», una lectura filosòfica, epistemològica i ontològica del real capaç d'acollir la dimensió del Sagrat com a una triple experiència a-lògica reclamant un paper fonamental també en els dominis de les ciències exactes (física quàntica, cosmologia i biologia): l'experiència tímbrica, rítmica i melòdica de l'Ésser. Aquesta perspectiva experiencial ens permet també definir un nou enfocament d'estudi sobre les religions, moltes de les quals prenen part en aquest estudi a l'elaboració d'un model filosòfic transcultural. Acabem amb un exercici d'hermenèutica contradictorial dirigit a descobrir l'articulació simfònica entre els monoteismes i a deliniar, d'aquesta manera, els rastres d'un possible renaixement transcultural que podria veure la llum en el Mediterrani.La incapacidad del modelo societario actual de prospectar soluciones viables a las derivas terroristas, a la concentración de la riqueza, a la degradación ambiental, a los desequilibrios socioeconómicos entre Norte y Sur, a los problemas de convivencia multicultural y a la degeneración del mundo de la política, invocan la necesidad de un nuevo paradigma que reestructure nuestros esquemas colectivos de relación con la realidad. Aunque en estos últimos años se hayan multiplicado las voces que piden un cambio ético de nuestros modelos de convivencia, la transformación paradigmática esperada se podrá hacer sólo con una nueva manera de pensar las relaciones entre los clásicos dualismos de oposición: Occidente vs Islam, razón vs irracionalidad, ciencia vs religión, etc. En este estudio proponemos un nuevo enfoque de interpretación de la realidad, una lógica contradictorial capaz de acoger con nuevo rigor científico la dimensión del Sagrado y abrirse con ojos renovados a las tradiciones religiosas. A partir de un estudio profundizado y crítico de la filosofía de S. Lupasco, y con la contribución del pensamiento de A.N. Whitehead y R. Panikkar, intentamos la elaboración de lo que, con la ayuda de las palabras de L. Duch, llamamos una «logomítica musical», una lectura filosófica, epistemológica y ontológica de lo real capaz de acoger la dimensión de lo Sagrado como una triple experiencia a-lógica reclamando un papel fundamental también en los dominios de las ciencias exactas (física cuántica, cosmología y biología): la experiencia tímbrica, rítmica y melódica del Ser. Esta perspectiva experiencial nos permite también definir un nuevo enfoque de estudio sobre las religiones, muchas de las cuales toman parte en este estudio a la elaboración de un modelo filosófico transcultural. Acabamos con un ejercicio de hermenéutica contradictorial dirigido a descubrir la articulación sinfónica entre los monoteísmos y a delinear, de esta manera, los rastros de un posible renacimiento transcultural que podría ver la luz en el Mediterráneo.
The inadequacy of the present society model to prospect viable solutions to terrorist drifts, concentration of wealth, environmental degradation, socio-economic imbalances between North and South, problems of multicultural coexistence and degeneration of the world of politics invoke the need for a new paradigm able to restructure, in their deepest roots, our relational collective schemes regarding to reality. Although in recent years there have been a lot of voices calling for ethical change of our coexistence models, the expected paradigmatic transformation can be attained only through a new way of conceiving the relation between classical dualist oppositions: West vs. Islam, reason vs. irrationality, science vs. religion, etc. In this study we propose a new approach to reality, a contradictorial logic able to host in itself the Holy through a new scientific rigor, and therefore open with renewed eyes to religious traditions. Starting from a profound and critical study of S. Lupasco's philosophy, we try to carry out – with the contribution of A. N. Whitehead's and R. Panikkar's thought – the elaboration of what we call a "musical logomitica" (a development of a L. Duch's neologism): a philosophical, epistemological and ontological interpretation of reality capable of hosting the holy dimension as a triple a-logical experience claiming a key role also in the domain of hard sciences (quantum physics, cosmology and biology): the timber, rhythm and melody experience of Being. This experiential perspective also allows us to define a new approach to religions, many of which are taken into account in this study looking for a definition of a new transcultural philosophical model. We ended up with a contradictorial hermeneutic exercise aimed at discovering a symphonic articulation between monotheisms and outline, thus, the traits of a possible transcultural renaissance that might take place in the Mediterranean world.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis primarily engages with Proust and China from the following three aspects: the Chinese translations and retranslations of Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu, contemporary mainland Chinese writers’ intertextual engagement with Proust, and the transcultural dialogue between Proust and the Franco-Chinese author, François Cheng. Part I Chapter I compares and contrasts different – integral and selective – Chinese translations of La Recherche, and explores their different emphases as well as negligence of Proustian themes, e.g. time and memory over anti-Semitism and homosexuality, due to the former’s strong resonance with Chinese philosophical and aesthetic traditions. The chapter is further substantiated by a close examination of various strategies employed to translate passages on sadomasochism and homosexuality in Proust’s work, which reflect changing discourses on and attitudes to the subjects in China. Chapter II focuses on the creative reception of Proust’s work in China. It explores how three mainland Chinese writers’ intertextual engagement with Proust is influenced by the first integral translation of La Recherche, and how they cite Proust partly to enhance the cultural prestige of their own works, while creating a horizon of expectations and a favourable climate of reception of Proust’s work in China. With a shift of focus to the Chinese diaspora in France, Part II explores Cheng’s French-language novel Le Dit de Tianyi as the author’s intellectual and artistic dialogue with Proust’s work. In addition to the intertextual relations, this part particularly examines Cheng’s conceptual and structural engagement with Proust’s novelistic conceptions of Bildungsroman and Künstlerroman, his approach to the fine arts, and finally his use of mythological motifs. Through the case of Proust, the thesis tries to gain a better understanding of the interaction between literatures and cultures, and particularly, the phenomena of cultural appropriation and dialogue in literature. More specifically, it demonstrates how the cultural heritages of China and the West can be re-negotiated, re-thought, and put into dialogue through the fictional and creative medium of literature.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines contemporary British transcultural psychiatry and the consequences of its practices for multi-cultural populations in metropolitan situations. It uses a combined methodology of conceptuaL textual analyses and participant observation, to explore how transcultural psychiatry constructs relationships between culture and mental disorders. In particular it examines the complexity of defining normality and pathology in this area. The intellectual origins of transcultural psychiatry in the context of colonial medical practice are explored with two aims in mind. First to show historically how the present-day theories and practices of transcultural psychiatry came into being. Second, to present an alternative picture to that painted of transcultural psychiatry by its critics. The critics see it as a racist ideology and form of domination that is forced to repeat colonial oppression in post-colonial situations. A series of case studies of key colonial psychiatrists, Laubscher, Corothers and Octave MannonL is presented to explore the logics and models of transcultural psychiatry. This exploration shows how the status and nature of transcultural psychiatry is far more intricate and ambiguous than its critics moral and political understanding can allow. This is underscored by a detailed examination of the thought of the first anti-racist revolutionary cultural psychiatrist Frantz Fanon. The role of Fanon's ideas in shaping contemporary transcultural psychiatry is explored. Ironically, Fanon's models inspire both the anti-racist ethics of transcultural psychiatry and those who are radically opposed to any psychiatric intervention. Fieldwork observations of transcultural clinicalpractice and its alternatives point to the complexity of the ways in which ethicaL political and intellectual models are used when psychiatrists attempt to tell the truth about racism and madness in society and cure the suffering of ethnic patients

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the notion of ‘in-betweenness’ through transcultural thinking in my compositional practice as a commentary to my portfolio of compositions. My thinking has been inspired by Tim Ingold’s philosophical idea of ‘wayfaring’ as a way to navigate processes by which insights emerge from collaborative investigations. My portfolio makes an original contribution to music by engaging with Malaysian Chinese and Indigenous cultural materials in fresh ways with a focus on music and dance collaborations with Indigenous Malaysian references, aural/oral traditions in Hakka poetry, and traditions of pattern making related to Borneo bead work. These projects have enabled me to deepen my experience and understanding of notions of entanglement and of how highly diverse elements can be unified through collaboration, presenting a series of case studies that also vary in style and the modality of discussion used. The discussion focuses around four main aspects related to intercultural exchange and collaboration: the value of negotiation, the meaning of ambiguity, strategies for navigating cultural meanings, and processes of cultural and musical transmission. Through these, I gain insights into the perception and practice of cultural exchange to find a new creative threshold for opening up new cultural dialogues in my compositional work.

Full textAbstract:
Marketers attempting to please a large part of the population in order to gain more customers, already have a demanding job. However, things get even more complicated when the population consists of a variety of cultures, such as in Sweden. With the aim to appeal to people belonging to different cultures, more and more campaigns of transcultural and multicultural content are created. Those campaigns, being controversial, do not go unnoticed and generate a division in views. We have therefore decided to investigate: “How do consumers perceive trans-cultural and multicultural marketing campaigns?” and “What are the dimensions of these types of campaigns on buyer behaviour?”. This study will attempt to answer the research questions by exploring the themes of culture and ethics alongside. This is done to clarify the reasons behind the differences among customers’ perceptions on the campaigns chosen. In order to explain the difference between transcultural and multicultural campaigns, two campaigns, one by Åhléns and one by H&M, were used. A qualitative research was conducted by interviewing twelve people, six for each campaign. Based on our results, all of the interviewees stated that culture is directly correlated with ethics. The different perspectives on the campaigns were due to matters of ethicality. Half supported the campaigns due to their inclusiveness while the other half deemed them unethical for different reasons. While everyone associated the campaigns with ethicality, the majority does not take ethics into consideration while shopping. Furthermore, corporate social responsibility proved to have a smaller impact on buyer behaviour than a company’s involvement in an unethical activity that weighs more in consumers’ eyes. Last but not least, even though the customer perceptions on these types of campaigns are divided, there is no direct effect on buyer behaviour, but more towards brand loyalty.

O puerpério compreende um período de mudanças e adaptações na vida da mulher, que variam de acordo com o contexto e necessidades próprias. Entre elas, observam-se as necessidades educativas relacionadas ao cuidado de si e do recém-nascido. Partindo deste pressuposto, proponho, neste trabalho, identificar as necessidades de orientação das mulheres no primeiro puerpério, por meio da abordagem cultural, proposta por Leininger (1991), apontando caminhos para concretizar o processo educativo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa convergente-assistencial que teve a participação de sete primipuérperas, em três encontros: o primeiro, na Unidade Obstétrica de um hospital privado de Santa Maria - RS, seguido de duas visitas domiciliares, no período de maio a agosto de 2001. Para a coleta dos dados foi utilizada a técnica de entrevista semi-estruturada. A partir dos relatos, evidenciavam-se as dúvidas e as práticas de cuidado realizadas e, posteriormente, implementava-se os três modos de ações de cuidado cultural enunciados por Leininger (1991): manutenção, negociação e repadronização. Foi possível apreender que, independente da condição sócio-econômica e cultural, as puérperas apresentam necessidade de cuidado educativo, o que oportuniza a enfermeira a oferecer suporte, provendo uma assistência integral e participativa.

Hernandez, Felipe M. "Dynamic identities and the construction of transcultural architectures." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2002. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/11323/.
Full textAbstract:
Latin American architectural theory has not been successful in dealing with the complexity of Latin American cultures, and in engaging with the whole range of architectural practices that take place in the continent's cities and buildings. On the contrary, in most cases, architectural theories have been used as means to create hegemonic architectural narratives and systems of referentiality through which a sense of homogeneity could be reconstituted. Consequently, architectural theory appears to be in radical opposition to the realities of Latin American cultures and societies. This thesis does therefore engage in detail with cultural theory and postcolonial discourse, and uses post-structuralist methods of critique, as a means to engage with the whole range of politics and socio-cultural practices with which architecture is inherently related. Approached via the work of various cultural theorists, the complex reality of Latin America is not seen as a problem that requires resolution through the elimination of differences. On the contrary, and unlike architects and architectural theorists, cultural theorists aim their efforts at revealing those areas of conflict where the very fractures of Latin American cultures can be found, and where diverse and often antagonistic socio-cultural groups clash while attempting to negotiate their differences. Only in this way would it be possible to create a cultural politics of difference in order to deal with cultural multiplicity in situations of inequality. Engagement with broader aspects of cultural theory will provide the possibility of questioning the validity and sufficiency of existing methods of architectural analysis in Latin America. That is why the most prominent theoretical models that have been created in Latin America during the past twenty- five years will here be placed under scrutiny. Greater engagement with issues outside an exclusively architectural discourse will not only bring to light the shortcomings of existing methods of analysis, but also provide the means to correct and enhance them. In this way, aspects that have been little theorized or which have remained invisible to the eyes of architects and architectural theorists will be revealed. The theories examined throughout this thesis will also provide the means to validate minority architectural practices that have so far been dismissed for not corresponding to parameters established by hegemonic architectural narratives.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgicoO estudo objetivou traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para a lÃngua portuguesa, no contexto do Brasil, o Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire. Estudo do tipo metodolÃgico, seguiu os procedimentos de traduÃÃo e adaptaÃÃo transcultural, que compreende cinco fases, a saber: traduÃÃo inicial, sÃntese da traduÃÃo, traduÃÃo de volta à lÃngua original, revisÃo por comità de juÃzes, e prÃ-teste da versÃo traduzida. Os participantes do estudo foram cinco tradutores e cinco juÃzes, em conformidade com os critÃrios especÃficos no referencial metodolÃgico. O prÃ-teste foi realizado com 30 pessoas com lesÃo medular traumÃtica em domicÃlio, recrutados de forma aleatÃria, a partir de um banco de dados jà existente, nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2014, por meio de dois instrumentos: formulÃrio de caracterizaÃÃo sociodemogrÃfica e clÃnica, e aplicaÃÃo do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire â versÃo traduzida. ApÃs a adaptaÃÃo transcultural realizou-se o Ãndice de ValidaÃÃo de ConteÃdo, com 17 especialistas na Ãrea de lesÃo medular e/ou cateterismo intermitente. A anÃlise dos dados de traduÃÃo e adaptaÃÃo transcultural està apresentada na forma de quadro com a anÃlise descritiva. Os dados sociodemogrÃficos do prÃ-teste foram compilados e analisados por meio do programa estatÃstico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versÃo 19.0, apresentado em forma de tabela, bem como a anÃlise descritiva. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisas da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, com o parecer n 562.693. Os resultados mostram que nas duas versÃes iniciais, traduÃÃo 1 e traduÃÃo 2, nÃo houve diferenÃas significativas entre as traduÃÃes. Na sÃntese da traduÃÃo foi contemplada a maioria dos itens da traduÃÃo 2. Na etapa da Back Translation, a traduÃÃo nÃo apresentou muita disparidade do questionÃrio original, exceto alguns termos em inglÃs, mas nada que mudasse o contexto de cada item. Na etapa da revisÃo pelo comità de juÃzes aconteceu uma reuniÃo visando a avaliar as equivalÃncias semÃntica, idiomÃtica, experimental e conceitual de cada item do questionÃrio, de modo a apresentar todas as incoerÃncias das traduÃÃes anteriores. Alguns itens sofreram mudanÃas e, assim, obteve-se a versÃo prÃ-final do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire â versÃo traduzida, e, em seguida, aplicada no prÃ-teste. O Ãndice de ValidaÃÃo de ConteÃdo foi de 0,92 e os valores individuais dos itens variaram de 0,29 a 1. TrÃs itens obtiveram um IVC abaixo do recomendado, no entanto o instrumento total foi considerado vÃlido no conteÃdo. Conclui-se, portanto, que a versÃo traduzida do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire mostrou ser um instrumento confiÃvel, claro e compreensÃvel entre os itens, capaz de avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com lesÃo medular que realizam o autocateterismo. Permite aos enfermeiros conhecer os problemas relacionados ao cateterismo intermitente e incentivar o prÃprio paciente a promover a sua saÃde, tornando-o emponderado, alÃm de ser mais uma contribuiÃÃo para o conhecimento da enfermagem.
The study aimed to translate and culturally adapt to the Portuguese language in the context of Brazil the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire. The type of this study was methodological and followed the translation procedures and transcultural adaptation, which comprises five phases, namely: initial translation, translation synthesis, translation back to the original language, review by expert committee, and translated version of the pre-test. The study participants were five translators and five judges in accordance with specific criteria in the methodological reference. The pre-test was conducted with thirty people with spinal cordy injury at home, randomly recruited from an existing database, in the months of Ausgust and September 2014, by means of two instruments: characterization form sociodemographic and clinical, and implementation of the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire â translated version. After the the transcultural adaptation was held Content Validation Index, with 17 experts in the area of spinal cord injury and / or intermittent catheterization. The analysis of data translation and the transcultural adaptation is presented in tabular form with the descriptive analysis. The sÃciodemographic data of the pre-test were compiled and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 19.0, presented in table form, and the descriptive analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of CearÃ, with the report number 562 693. The results show that in the first two versions, translation 1 and 2, there were no significant differences between translations. In Translation synthesis was contemplated most of the translation of item 2.In the Step Back Translation, the translation did not show much disparity of the original questionnaire, except some English terms, but nothing that would change the context of each item. In step of the committee of judges for review was a meeting in order to evaluate semantic, idiomatic, experimental and conceptual of each questionnaire item, to display all the inconsistencies of previous translations. Some items changes, and thus obtained the pre-final version of Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire -Version translated and then applied to the pre-test. The Content Validation Index was 0.92 and the individual values of items ranging from 0.29 to 1. Three items obtained an IVC lower than the recommended, however the total instrument was considered valid in the content. It follows, therefore, that the translated version of Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire proved to be a reliable, clear and understandable instrument among the items which can evaluate the quality of life of people with spinal cord injury who perform the catheterization. Allows nurses know the problems related to intermittent catheterization and encourage the patient to promote their health, making it a person with more independence and control of your situation, besides being more one contribution to the knowledge of nursing.

Este estudo teve como proposições: compreender o processo da interação entre profissionais de saúde e usuários estrangeiros nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e Programa Saúde da Família (PSF); conhecer o significado da experiência dos profissionais de saúde ao interagir com os usuários estrangeiros; evidenciar questões bioéticas na experiência de interação entre profissionais e usuários estrangeiros. Utilizou-se como referencial teórico o Interacionismo Simbólico e como referencial metodológico a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados, até a codificação axial. A análise dos dados, apresentada como ordenamento conceitual, levou à definição de quatro grandes temas: (1) procurando comunicar-se; (2) percebendo limites; (3) percebendo interação como processo; (4) percebendo perspectivas diferentes. O percurso de interação profissional usuário estrangeiro foi desencadeado a partir de uma escolha: atender a todos indiscriminadamente, tornando possível a aproximação. Perceber ou não no usuário estrangeiro sua dignidade de pessoa humana parece ser determinante na abertura do profissional à interação, na sua disposição a buscar estratégias.This study had the following objectives: to understand the interaction processes among health professionals and foreign users in the Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) and the Program for Family Health (PSF); to get to know the significance of the health professionals experience as they interact with foreign users; to put in evidence bioetiques issues in the experience of professionals and foreign users interaction.It was used as a theorical referential the Symbolic Interacionism and as methodological reference a Grounded Theory up to an axial coding. Data analysis presented as conceptual ordering, lead to the definition of four great issues: (1) trying to communicate; (2) detecting limits; (3) recognizing interaction as a process; (4) recognizing different perspectives. The route of professional foreign users interaction was developed from one choice: attend everyone (indiscriminately) making approximation possible. To recognize or fail to recognize in the foreign user the dignity of human person seems to be the determining factor for the openness of the professional to the interaction, in his disposition to seek strategies.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines travel literature by Mexican women in relation to transcultural performativities, which refers to a feminist critique of how writers capture their normative performativity and their agency as they interact with different cultural contexts. My analysis considers texts from the end of the nineteenth century, taking into consideration the first Mexican women who published travel literature, through to contemporary writers from the early twenty-first century. The major focus of this thesis will be to show how Mexican women writers repeat political and poetic performativities in their literature, based on their trips to foreign places. This thesis is composed of four parts: a theoretical analysis of transcultural performativities and three close, comparative readings of travel writing and the context of their production. In the first chapter, I propose a conceptual model named transcultural performativities to analyse travel literature. This model takes into consideration the contributions of Judith Butler, Fernando Ortiz, Walter Mignolo, Julio Ortega, Eyda Merediz, Nina Gerassi-Navarro, Gloria Anzaldúa, Homi Bhabha and Édouard Glissant. This analytical model has a tripartite structure: occidental Atlanticism, post-occidental border thinking, and the Philosophy of Relation in worldliness (globalisation). The second chapter is a comparative analysis of the works of Laura Méndez de Cuenca and Elena Garro to exemplify the Atlanticist relations among Europe, the United States, Latin America and, in particular Mexico. The third chapter examines the works of Rosario Castellanos and María Luisa Puga to grasp the cultural negotiations of the intermediate social experience between Mexico and other foreign countries. The final chapter explores the works of Esther Seligson and Myriam Moscona to analyse the positionality of Mexican Jews in relation to World Literatures. Overall, this thesis suggests that we can understand the complexities of the fluidity and non-fixity of subjectivity in Mexican women’s travel writing by dwelling on the constantly changing nature of sex/gender, social classes, racialization, nationalism, and religiosity.

A Social Rhythm Metric-17 (SRM-17) afere Ritmo Social. O objetivo desse estudo foi realizar a adaptação transcultural dessa escala para a realidade brasileira. Foi utilizada uma adaptação do método para validação de instrumentos que compreendeu as seguintes etapas: preparação, tradução, conciliação, retradução, revisão da retradução, avaliação da clareza, revisão dos resultados da avaliação da clareza e finalização, prova de leitura e relatório final. A versão final brasileira manteve uma equivalência de itens com relação à primeira versão em inglês do instrumento original, incorporando melhorias. A transposição do instrumento alternativo criado pelo Grupo de Cronobiologia Humana do HCPA para a SRM-17 não mostrou discrepâncias significativas e revelou que, embora esta escala seja um instrumento genérico, é sensível às diferenças individuais quanto à aferição de ritmo social. A versão avaliada demonstrou um grau satisfatório de clareza e equivalência semântica. Posteriormente a escala foi aplicada a 145 trabalhadores de turno regular do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, ambos os sexos, com idades entre 18 e 60 anos para avaliação do ritmo social nessa amostra e análise das propriedades psicométricas do instrumento. O teste t de Student não revelou diferença significativa entre os sexos para o Índice de Regularidade de Atividades (IRA) (t =0,60; p=0,55) e para o Escore do Total de Atividades (ETA) (t= 0,67; p=0,95), e entre usuários de antidepressivos e não usuários (t=0,85; p=0,4 para IRA e t=1,03; p=0,3 para ETA). A análise ANOVA não revelou diferença significativa nas médias dos escores entre os três turnos nem para IRA (F=2,311; p=0,103) nem para ETA (F=0,26 p=0,77). Os escores apresentaram uma distribuição gaussiana na população estudada. Os zeitgebers mais robustos foram os horários de almoço e os períodos de sono. A análise fatorial revelou três componentes. A Escala de Ritmo Social apresenta validade de conteúdo e boa fidedignidade teste-reteste.

Le présent mémoire de thèse examine le rôle culturel du théâtre féminin antillais des décennies 1980 et 1990. Il se propose de montrer que le théâtre participe à la construction et à la transformation d'une mémoire collective de l'esclavage, aussi bien au sein d'une nation que dans un contexte transnational. À partir du concept de mémoire traumatique de l'esclavage, il s'agit d'étudier d'une part, trois dramaturges antillaises, en mettant en relief trois pièces principales, et, d'autre part, les mises en scène et la réception de ces pièces à l'Ubu Repertory Theater de New York. Cette étude commence par une introduction théorique, suivie d'un deuxième chapitre sur l'esclavage, sa mémoire, et son oubli en France métropolitaine et d'Outre-mer. Les trois chapitres centraux examinent les théâtres d'Ina Césaire, de Maryse Condé, et de Gerty Dambury aussi bien que la mise en scène et la réception de leurs pièces à l'Ubu. Dans la première partie de chaque chapitre, une analyse textuelle permet d'éclairer comment les pièces présentées mettent en scène une continuité entre le passé et le présent. Ici, le théâtre vise à confronter et instaurer une mémoire antillaise et féminine de l'esclavage, mémoire qui était largement inconsciente et secrète à la fin du vingtième siècle. Dans la deuxième partie de chaque chapitre, il est question de la traduction du traumatisme réalisée par les artistes et les spectateurs à l 'Ubu. Cette analyse souligne la mise en place d'une narration du traumatisme transculturel, créée par l'événement théâtral, et les conflits engendrésThis dissertation examines the cultural work done by French Caribbean women's theatre of the 1980s and 1990s. Through a focus on traumatic memories of slavery, l study three French Caribbean women dramatists, investigating three noteworthy plays and the staging and reception of those plays at Ubu Repertory Theater of New York. The study begins with a theoretical introduction, followed by a second chapter on slavery and its remembrance in metropolitan France and the overseas departments. The three central chapters investigate the theatres of Ina Césaire, Maryse Condé, and Gerty Dambury, as well as the production and reception of their plays at Ubu. In a first section of each chapter, l deploy textual analysis to illuminate how the plays portray links between the past and the present in order to establish and transform French Caribbean women's memory of slavery, which was largely unconscious and secret at the end of the twentieth century. In a second part of each chapter, l investigate the translation of trauma realized by Ubu artists and spectators and the conflicts generated by transcultural performances of French Caribbean women's trauma

The study aimed to translate and culturally adapt to the Portuguese language in the context of Brazil the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire. The type of this study was methodological and followed the translation procedures and transcultural adaptation, which comprises five phases, namely: initial translation, translation synthesis, translation back to the original language, review by expert committee, and translated version of the pre-test. The study participants were five translators and five judges in accordance with specific criteria in the methodological reference. The pre-test was conducted with thirty people with spinal cordy injury at home, randomly recruited from an existing database, in the months of Ausgust and September 2014, by means of two instruments: characterization form sociodemographic and clinical, and implementation of the Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire – translated version. After the the transcultural adaptation was held Content Validation Index, with 17 experts in the area of spinal cord injury and / or intermittent catheterization. The analysis of data translation and the transcultural adaptation is presented in tabular form with the descriptive analysis. The sóciodemographic data of the pre-test were compiled and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 19.0, presented in table form, and the descriptive analysis. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Ceará, with the report number 562 693.

In step of the committee of judges for review was a meeting in order to evaluate semantic, idiomatic, experimental and conceptual of each questionnaire item, to display all the inconsistencies of previous translations. Some items changes, and thus obtained the pre-final version of Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire -Version translated and then applied to the pre-test. The Content Validation Index was 0.92 and the individual values of items ranging from 0.29 to 1. Three items obtained an IVC lower than the recommended, however the total instrument was considered valid in the content. It follows, therefore, that the translated version of Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire proved to be a reliable, clear and understandable instrument among the items which can evaluate the quality of life of people with spinal cord injury who perform the catheterization.

O estudo objetivou traduzir e adaptar culturalmente para a língua portuguesa, no contexto do Brasil, o Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire. Estudo do tipo metodológico, seguiu os procedimentos de tradução e adaptação transcultural, que compreende cinco fases, a saber: tradução inicial, síntese da tradução, tradução de volta à língua original, revisão por comitê de juízes, e pré-teste da versão traduzida. Os participantes do estudo foram cinco tradutores e cinco juízes, em conformidade com os critérios específicos no referencial metodológico. O pré-teste foi realizado com 30 pessoas com lesão medular traumática em domicílio, recrutados de forma aleatória, a partir de um banco de dados já existente, nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2014, por meio de dois instrumentos: formulário de caracterização sociodemográfica e clínica, e aplicação do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire – versão traduzida. Após a adaptação transcultural realizou-se o Índice de Validação de Conteúdo, com 17 especialistas na área de lesão medular e/ou cateterismo intermitente. A análise dos dados de tradução e adaptação transcultural está apresentada na forma de quadro com a análise descritiva. Os dados sociodemográficos do pré-teste foram compilados e analisados por meio do programa estatístico Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versão 19.0, apresentado em forma de tabela, bem como a análise descritiva. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisas da Universidade Federal do Ceará, com o parecer nº 562.693. Os resultados mostram que nas duas versões iniciais, tradução 1 e tradução 2, não houve diferenças significativas entre as traduções. Na síntese da tradução foi contemplada a maioria dos itens da tradução 2. Na etapa da Back Translation, a tradução não apresentou muita disparidade do questionário original, exceto alguns termos em inglês, mas nada que mudasse o contexto de cada item. Na etapa da revisão pelo comitê de juízes aconteceu uma reunião visando a avaliar as equivalências semântica, idiomática, experimental e conceitual de cada item do questionário, de modo a apresentar todas as incoerências das traduções anteriores. Alguns itens sofreram mudanças e, assim, obteve-se a versão pré-final do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire – versão traduzida, e, em seguida, aplicada no pré-teste. O Índice de Validação de Conteúdo foi de 0,92 e os valores individuais dos itens variaram de 0,29 a 1. Três itens obtiveram um IVC abaixo do recomendado, no entanto o instrumento total foi considerado válido no conteúdo. Conclui-se, portanto, que a versão traduzida do Intermittent Self-Catheterization Questionnaire mostrou ser um instrumento confiável, claro e compreensível entre os itens, capaz de avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com lesão medular que realizam o autocateterismo. Permite aos enfermeiros conhecer os problemas relacionados ao cateterismo intermitente e incentivar o próprio paciente a promover a sua saúde, tornando-o emponderado, além de ser mais uma contribuição para o conhecimento da enfermagem.

Full textAbstract:
Si les Antilles sont projetées sur le devant de la scène littéraire, les écrivains de l’Océan Indien sont plus discrets. Cette situation trouve une explication lorsque l’on considère la situation politique de ces espaces insulaires, car si la Guadeloupe et la Martinique sont des départements français, l’île Maurice, reconnue comme un état souverain, ne bénéficie pas de la même influence. De plus, les Caraïbes doivent à Edouard Glissant, éminent théoricien, un renom par rapport auquel Daniel Maximin a une position personnelle originale. Tandis que l’écrivain Martiniquais évoque l’idée d’une société en perpétuelle gestation, son correspondant Guadeloupéen revendique une culture et une identité saisie dans un processus de reconstruction. Son rattachement aux cultures Négro-Africaines d’Amérique du Nord et au jazz n’exclut pas le lien avec l’Afrique des origines, lieu du départ en esclavage. En revanche, Edouard Jean Maunick et Khal Torabully, poètes et théoriciens d’une île Maurice indépendante se rattachent plus volontiers aux auteurs sub-sahariens. Cependant, aucun de ces auteurs ne minimisent le rôle de l’environnement par le truchement duquel ils expriment un imaginaire insulaire. Si l’Histoire a permis d’affirmer une identité, l’environnement immédiat est tout autant un facteur déterminant, à l’origine d’une géosymbolique. Celle-ci incite à une approche géocritique et pluridisciplinaire. Ainsi, la mise en regard de ces quatre auteurs différents, entre Caraïbes et Océan Indien, aide à prendre conscience d’une culture et d’un imaginaire observé dans ces littératures dites de la périphérie qui se libèrent des atavismes, s’affranchissent de l’influence de l’hexagone, et s’inscrivent dans leur propres rayonnements culturels et littérairesWhen the West Indies are really visible in the news when literature is concerned, the writers from the Indian Ocean are much more unassuming. This can be explained by the political situation of those islands. While Guadeloupe and Martinique are French territories, Mauritius, being a sovereign country does not benefit from the same influence. Moreover, Edouard Glissant, distinguished theoretician, has done a lot for the Caribbean Islands, which give them a fame towards which Daniel Maximum has a special and personal position. While the Martinique writer recall a society in permanent gestation, his Guadeloupian counterpart will claim for a culture and identity capture in a positive process. The fact that he is posted to the Negro African cultures of North America and to Jazz does not exclude the link with mother Africa, where they come from, as slaves. On the other hand, Eduard Jean Maunick and Khal Torabully, poets and theoreticians of independent Mauritius, are keener to be posted to the sub-Saharan authors. However, none of those minimize the role of the environment by which they express an imagination specific to Islands. Even though History has confirmed an identity, the immediate environment has also been very determining to figure out the origin of a “Géosymbolique”. It urges on developing a “géocritical” and multidisciplinary approach. In so doing, having at these four different authors between the West Indies and the Indian Ocean, brings into focus a culture and an imaginary which these literatures are about. These Literature “de la periphérie” free themselves from atavism, liberating themselves from the French influence, and get enrolled in their own cultural impact

The study is conducted in a city of the rural area of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, colonized by Germans, that maintain traditions and customs of their antecessors. The informants are 18 women that always lived in this town, who are mothers and practice the Lutheran religion. The data was collected through observation, semi-structured interviews and bibliographic material. The interviews were submitted to the Thematic and Pattern Analyses suggested by Leininger (1998). The emerged themes were pregnancy and childbirth as taboos, the appraisal of maternity, transformations in childbirth practices, the traditions of care, and the domestic work. The studies about some cultures allow us to know specific groups and, in this way, to care for them in more appropriate manners, the main goal of Nursing.

This study was conducted in order to test the hypothesis derived from the International Pilot Study of Schizophrenia (IPSS) that the existence of extended families in developing countries contributes to the more favorable course and outcome of schizophrenia in these countries in comparison with industrial countries. For this purpose, we compared data from the 5- and 10-year follow-up obtained within the IPSS at Cali, Colombia with data from two 5 to 8-year follow-up studies of former schizophrenic inpatients of the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry (MPIP) in Munich, FRG. Although, in Cali, schizophrenics are hospitalized and treated with drugs only during acute episodes of the psychosis and no facilities exist for long-term treatment, the psychopathological outcome was, on the whole, not worse than in Munich. Furthermore, the duration of hospitalization during the follow-up period was much lower at Cali and a significantly lower number of Colombian than of German patients was not separated from their families. However, contrary to the hypothesis, family size did not predict course and outcome at both centers.
