Pochon, Anaïs. "Contribution à l'étude des systèmes politico-religieux des cultures du Mississippi (XIème-XVIème siècle)." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Sorbonne université, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024SORUL113.
Full textThe Mississippian Cultures are agricultural societies established on the Mississippi Valley between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries. Practicing maize agriculture, they established ceremonial and urban centers composed of tumuli on which various structures were built. The arrangement within the burial mounds is part of the socio-political organization of a society based on a cosmovision that has been the subject of various archaeological and ethnohistorical studies since the twentieth century. A mythology based on the antagonism between the Thunderbird and the Serpent materialized on artifacts made of copper and shells in particular. Through the study of the four major Mississippian sites (Cahokia, Moundville, Etowah and Spiro), what are the elements that allow us to speak of "Mississippian cultures"? Moreover, what socio-political-religious organization was adopted by the Mississippians considering the results of the archaeological studies carried out? To what extent can a study of twentieth-century ethnographic texts (Omaha, Osage, Sauk, among others) help in the analysis of the religious field? What observations did European colonizers have of Native American groups formerly federated with the Mississippians (the most evocative example being the Natchez)? Through the spatial analysis of the arrangement of burial mounds, funerary spaces and the question of sacrifice, iconography and its correlation to myths and funerary rites, this study is a contribution to the archaeology of Mississippi cultures and a contribution to the discussion on the socio-political organization of Mississippians

Full textSince China's confrontation with the West, the Chinese people have been experiencing an identity crisis which has caused a general disaffection with traditional identity. Difficulties experienced under maoi͏̈sm also contributed to rendering Chinese identity construction problematic. The philosophical void which has grown ever larger since 1966 continues to enfeeble efforts to renew ties with the humanist tradition of Chinese thought. The phenomenon of conversion of many Chinese immigrants to Christianity is quite significant in many American cities. In order to better analyse this phenomenon, we attempt to understand the principal convergence between Chinese thought and Christian thought. Through a sociological and psychosocial study, we see how the "Great Harmony" in Chinese American Christian identity construction can become a reality through the interiorisation of certain Chinese and Christian values

Full textNorthern Central America is located in a complex zone of interaction between three major tectonic plates : the North American (NA), the Caribbean (CA) ant the Cocos (CO) plates. While the CO plate is subducting under the NA and CA plates along the Mid- American trench, the on land relative motion between the NA and CA plates is mainly accommodated by the east-west trending left-lateral Polochic-Motagua fault system. We installed in 2005, during 6 months, a 30 stations seismological network in order to analyse the present seismic activity of the Polochic-Motagua fault system and to constrain the lithosphere characteristic at depth in this area. We show that the seismic activity is concentrated at depth less than 15 km. The level of seismicity of the Polochic and the Motagua faults is comparable while no earthquakes were registered from the jocotan fault. We also observe activity in a north-South trending graben south of the Motagua and probably activity on the folds north of the Polochic fault. Using the receiver function method we localise the mohorovic discontinuity at about 35 km. Our data suggest that the cristal thickness is smaller between the Polochic-Motagua faults than north or south. We use GPS data to characterize the deformation in the CO-CA-NA triple junction area in terms of interactions and relative contributions of the different structures (Polochic and Motagaua faults, a series of north south grabens south of them and the Mid-American volcanic Arc, MAVA), and coupling at the subduction interface. We analyse GPS- campaign data from different networks in Guatemala (24 sites measured in 1999-2003-2006), Salvador (3 sites measured in 2003 and 2006) and Chiapas, southern Mexico (8 sites measured each year from 2002 to 2004. Data are processed and combined using the GAMIT/GLOBK software. The obtained velocity field is first fitted using-simple elastic models. The Motagua fault seems to accommodate most of the present left-latéral motion between CA and NA, with less than 15 % taken by the Polochic fault despite its comparable surface morphology, historical seismicity and microseismic activity. This may suggest complex mechanical interactions between the Motagua and Polochic faults at the scale of several seismic cycles. A single fault model, centered on the Motagua fault, locked at a depth of 15 km, indicates a slip rate decrease from eastern (20 mm/yr) to central Guatemala (15 mm/yr) towards the CA-CO-NA triple junction (0mm/yr ? ). This decrease seems to be consistent with east-west extension rates estimated across the Ipala and Guatemala city grabens south of the Motagua fault. We also observe a right-lateral movement across the MAVA : 15 m/yr in Guatemala. This movemet is consistent with that observed along the Nicaraguan and costa-rican volcanic arcs. To take into account the rotation of blocks and the elastic deformation localized on faults at their boundaries in this area, we finally use the 3D-elastic inverse model DEFNODE (McCaffrey 2002) to fit the GPS- derived deformation field. Our 4 blocks ( Co, CA, NA and a microplate in between the MAVA and the CO subduction interface) suggests a coupling decrease at the subduction interface form Chiapas to Guatemala, although not fully resolved with the present data set

Full textThis article is devoted to the genealogy of North-American academic’s critical thought within communication studies – and media studies or journalism studies. Through the sociology of science, the study suggested underlines relationships between the ascending and downward generations of critical scholars. While taking for example of academic headlights – from Herbert Schiller ou Robert McChesney – and of principal North-American faculties where critical courses are taught in communication studies – in Urbana-Champaign or in Burnaby –, joined together by the conferences of scientific associations, we are interested to recall the construction and development of dissenting thought in university – (neo)marxist or simply progressist. Our research takes into account from critical genesis (1950-1970), personalized by those who made pioneer critical research in political economy and cultural studies, until critical apogee (1980-2000), symbolized by two new generations of scholars. At the time of the production of the scientific knowledge, it appears obvious that intergenerational logic, theoretical approach and ideological activism are supplemented

Full textAccess to health care treatment in fair conditions is a major societal claim in all western societies. In Cascadia (Canadian province of British Columbia and American state of Washington), finding a territorial equity is all the more unlikely since these territories are immense and their populations are spread out unevenly throughout the entire area. This regional geography dissertation touches upon the health care offer in Cascadia and through its human and social geography approach intends to draw a diachronic and dynamic survey of physician's professional practice, to emphasize possible spatial inequalities regarding health care delivery and to assess their evolution through time and it aims at doing so on either side of a border separating two states with vastly different social policy. The purpose of this dissertation is to assess the offer in terms of euclidean distance as well as “social” distance, ince “the hierarchy of distances is often a social hierarchy”. The pluriscalar approach (region, local areas vs city networks and metropolises) should enable to bring forward and assess discontinuities within the different scales of theoretical recourse to care. The purpose of this dissertation is also to emphasize possible links in between areas with different scales, which is the preliminary step to any policy aiming at regulareting the health care offer and at setting up sanitary areas or regions. From the plethoric offer encountered in the metropolises to the sanitary desert of the outskirts, each area provides different types of reality which are specific to it but which must be integrated within the holistic framwrok of a public health policy aiming at providing “health care for all”

Due to a very different political and cultural inheritage, the way has not been the same in both countries. But the adoption as well as the entrenchment of a charter to rights and freedoms, similar to the american bill of rights, in the Canadian constitution in 1982 makes the question of comparison very acute. How to analyse the supreme courts's decision-making process regarding the rights of the accused and equality in the lates 80's? Thanks to a new approach, neuromimetics networks draw the path to reappreciate the way the institution and its members participate in the north american polyarchies, giving a very significant definition of individual rights in the north American system of government

Full textMy PhD research focuses on a lifestyle, full-time RVing, through which a new approach to the culture of mobility in North America is distinguished. This lifestyle, consisting of living full-time in a recreational vehicle and driving along North American roads, has attracted several million adherents in the USA and in Canada. Through an analysis of different kinds of mobility – geographical, territorial, cultural, conceptual –, this research aims to understand how full-time RVers adapt themselves to their mobile lifestyle. Full-time RVers' relations to (amongst other factors) territory, home, family, material culture have to be rethought in view of their mobility. By studying their daily life when moving as well as their daily life when parked, this research presents a population combining nomadic and sedentary elements, still unknown to scientific research, and reveals the attraction for the culture of mobility in contemporary societies

Full textAfter a period during which the value of milk quotas grew significantly in Quebec, a price cap to this value was fixed in 2007. This market constraint limited the quota’s supply and the growth in size of Quebec milk farms. This context and its impact raise questions regarding economic efficiency, the restrained growth of those companies preventing them from benefiting from size economies, if such size economies exist. In this regard, the present study examines the size economies in milk production in North America. The size economies of the concerned companies have been measured using a multiple linear regression (ordinary least squares) from some monetary and non-monetary cost variables. This analysis includes four size strata, established from data of a non aleatory sample of 847 farms from Quebec, the state of New York and California. The same exercise was conducted on a group of efficient farms, named “leading group”. The results demonstrated size economies mainly in fixed costs and particularly in non-monetary fixed costs. It also revealed that the two principal cost variables, regarding the impact of size economies, are non remunerated labor and depreciation cost. Moreover, when the size of a farm increases, the additional size economies realized are gradually less important. Finally, the results revealed important size diseconomies regarding feed costs. Key words: Agriculture, milk production, North America, size economies, economic efficiency, ordinary least squares.

Full textIn North America, space heating, hot water, and air conditioning use more secondary energy thanany other activity within buildings, thus emitting the majority of scope 1 and scope 2 GreenhouseGases (GHG). The Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) uses one-third the energy of traditionaltechnologies to provide space conditioning and hot water services.While GSHP is a well-established technology, the energy savings and lower GHG emissionshave not translated into their widespread adoption. Public policy measures and financialincentives adopted to promote GSHP have failed to lead to broad adoption or lower costs. Thisthesis examines the adoption of GSHP in response to supportive policies among residential,institutional, and city-scale adopters.Detailed site-level and panel data permit natural experiments on the response of residentialadopters in Canada and the US to changing incentives. At higher scales, regulatory proceedingsconcerning the offering of Thermal Energy Services (TES) has provided a case study for analysisof utility models to finance GSHP for commercial and institutional clients.In Canada and the US, financial incentives failed to sustain the adoption of GSHP throughout orafter the period of subsidy among residential households. Neither did incentives lead to adecrease in price over time. Free-ridership problems in Canada and an inability to make inroadsto areas served by natural gas have stranded GSHP technology. Further, the capital cost ofGSHP results in a higher lifecycle cost than most alternatives. The economy-wide benefits offinancial incentives for GSHP are limited in Canada, where most heat pumps are imported.iiiTES provide compelling innovations to bridge barriers at higher scales. TES overcome balancesheet constraints on debt common to public sector organizations by financing capital equipmentand renovations as utility payments. TES can overcome capital constraints faced by developersby financing equipment inside the building lowering construction costs. However, our casestudy of public procurement reveals TES to be a costly approach in the long run. The insightsfrom this research are translated into best practices and policy advice to improve contracting,increase awareness, and align incentives for greater efficiency

Full textThis thesis defines the (socio)-linguistic mechanisms which determine and organize the phenomenon of lexical creativity in the discourse on identity of the french-speaking communities in north-america. It emphasizes both the non-instituted terms and words and their modes of creation, and the social contexts in which they manifest themselves. The corpus used for socio-lexicological analysis covers 1412 unities drawn from 564 documentary sources. This vocabulary has been submitted to a context analysis matrix based on seven operational parameters : 1) the lexical mode 2) the macro-context 3) the theme 4) the enunciative mode 5) the geographic area 6) the status of "mot d'auteur" (hapax) and 7) the year of publication of the chosen context. The application of these seven parameters has allowed us to define the structuring of the identitary lexicon. This vocabulary reveals not only important differences between the seven zones of the north-american "francophonie", in that it reflects the variety of social-linguistic situations, but also a number of significant disparities compared to the neology of standard french. The status of "non-dictionarized vocabulary" which is the major characteristic of the identitary lexicon, is defined by three factors : first the peripheral status of franco-north-american lexicography which seems to ignore how geo-lexical marginality has to be treated. Second the more coercive application of the criterion of frequency by the same lexicography. Third the social-political norm which controls the total francophone lexicography, both european and north-american. The identitary lexicon of french-speaking north-america shows clearly the important phenomenon of recontextualized signification. The analyses carried out in this thesis have proved the existence of a series of parameters (the junction of the criterions of macrocontext, theme, sensibility) which give insight into the way in which the experience of the monoreferential and plural sense of "belonging" changes concurrently with the contexts of events

Full textIn the wake of the “war on terror, ” the Canada-United States border has come to assume increased importance as a focal point of security. Policy, human and technological innovations have emerged as a response to both Canada and the United States agreeing to bring the “war on terror” home. A newly adopted tool, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has the capacity to have a profound impact upon not only the effectiveness, but the conceptualisation of border security and its organization in North America. This thesis aims to understand how UAV border surveillance of the shared border affects the conceptions, practices and the organisation of joint Canada-U.S. border security efforts. After the analysis of interviews, conferences and literature, results allowed the researcher to identify trends involving risk mitigation, new technology and the militarization of border security, all-the-while describing in detail the UAV border surveillance program, its advantages and the challenges it faces.

Full textIntraspecific and interspecific genetic variation has been studied among North America’s freshwater fishes in order to improve our current knowledge on the evolution of biodiversity and to facilitate the conservation of this richness. Firstly, we generated a standard reference library of mitochondrial DNA sequences (DNA barcodes) for 752 North American freshwater fish species to provide an independent calibration of taxonomic uncertainty and to establish a more accessible molecular identification key for its application. This study demonstrates that 90% of known species can be delineated using barcodes. Results further suggest that current North American freshwater fish taxonomy at the species level significantly conceals diversity in some groups, while artificially creating diversity in others. Secondly, we studied intraspecific and interspecific genetic divergence in order to describe and identify the underlying evolutionary causes of general patterns of biodiversity distribution. This study supports a dual role involving both the late Pliocene-Pleistocene climatic fluctuations and metabolic rate in determining latitudinal gradients of genetic divergence. Thirdly, patterns of mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA (AFLP) have been studied among different codistributed pairs of glacial lineages in order to verify the generality of allopatric speciation. This study shows that the Eastern Great-Lakes drainage represents a multi-species suture zone for glacial lineages of freshwater fishes with variable levels of genetic divergence. AFLP analyses among four pairs of lineages indicate that lineages with relatively deep levels of mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence (>2 %) developed strong reproductive barriers. By describing different levels of divergence and reproductive isolation in different co-occurring fishes, we offer strong evidence that allopatric speciation has contributed significantly to the diversification of North Eastern American freshwater fishes. This thesis therefore offers a new molecular identification tool for freshwater fish of North America and brings strong evidences that allopatric speciation has played a predominant role in generating biodiversity.

Full textIn North America, the period spanning the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century is characterized by the decline of the cottage-industry partisan press, which is replaced by a commercial, information-oriented one. This period played a founding role in modern conceptions of journalism. Indeed, the criticisms aimed at the press during this period are amazingly close to those observed today: they make reference to the new style of journalism, the speed of information transmission, newspapers’ financial difficulties, the confusion of genres, journalists’ competence or the lack thereof... This thesis provides both a systematic inventory and a thematic analysis of an as yet little-studied corpus of texts: articles critical of the press, published between 1870 and 1909 inclusively, in North American magazines providing discussion and analysis of the news. The aim of the study is to describe the tensions that arise between different authors when opining on the changes currently affecting the production of newspaper text, the organization and operation of the press, and the social environment in which journalism is practiced. To this end, a thematic analysis of their criticisms is proposed with a view to providing an overall quantitative and qualitative picture of the situation. 39 different themes emerge from this analysis and are used to classify the criticisms, which are then reinterpreted in order to identify the key issues involved in journalism’s task of social construction, a job that is never completed, but is the result of a constant dialectical relationship between the practice of journalism and its societal reception. The central issues raised in the critical discourse on the press are shown to be, at various levels, part of the very process of structuring this dialectical relationship in time. Four of these processes are deemed particularly relevant in order to theorize this relationship: the professionalization of journalism, the commercialization of the press, the ever-increasing role of the media in communication, and the democratization of society. Interpreted in the light of these processes, the various stands taken by the authors examined are summarized in the form of well-defined types of discursive positions. By the arguments they adduce, these positions alternate between the moral and pragmatic domains and thus define the entire spectrum of public expectations with respect to journalists. These expectations are largely regarded as constituting a public-communication contract which governs discourse in the public domain, journalism being regarded as one of the discursive practices for conceptualizing the dynamics of this contract.

Full textMainly considered as an entertainment recalling the history of the first inhabitants of the American continent, Native Amùerican dance proves here its high semantic potential evoking the main mythic lines sutaining a characteristic Native American way of seeing the world. The Eagle and the Snake, as principal roles in myths and dances, will testify of the semantic elements they implicate and carry with them while performing, their representational plasticity allowing them to be evoked as soon as they are seen or only suggested in gesture, or in words pronounced on stage. We demonstrate that dance, together with vernacular language still spoken on stage during creremonies and Pow Wow, reveals a deep structure of Native american culture, which happens to be fractal. This structure showing a dynamic fractal aspect allows people who are brought up in native culture, as well as the ones who only perform once a year in pow wow, to access by dance and language in motion to enough components of their culture for its continuation. The way of learning the dances by copying an elder plays also a part in the cultural transmission, while respecting individualities, because it is a pattern to accomplish which is given to acquire and not a body shaping. This fractal pattern featuring on stage in dance and vernacular laguage practices, and also in Native American artifacts and narrations, constitute the latent prospective of cultural perpetuation fo Native american People today

Full textRegional economic integration processes lead to consequences in the social field and in labour law; this situation has fed a debate on labour law transformation to which this thesis contributes. Its main hypothesis is the following: the naalc that the three contries decided to add to the fre-trade because of the economical, political and legal differences constitutes a main reference in the current debate about a "social clause" in international trade. This device could be the vehicle of a scale transformation of labour law that the globalization of the economy requires. In a preliminary section, the background of the north-american integration is analysed and is actually seen as a silent economic integration built around the u. S. . The process has been followed by an important transformation of labour relations in the three countries, generating a social degradation in canada and the u. S. And a real social desintegration in mexico. Part i points out the asymetries in the labour law framework of the three countries. A detailled study of the naalc follows in which the specificities of the agreement are documented. The two first years of its application have confirmed its innovative features. The analysis leads to the elaboration of a theoty of the social clause in part ii. After giving some terminological definitions, the thesis presents the pros and cons of resorting to a socialclause. The analysis of different types of social clauses (unilateral, multilateral and autonomous) leads to an evaluation of the treatment of the linkage beetween economic integration and labour standards. European integration, mercosur and the alena are compared. The ilo system is also analysed in order to specify the role it could play in the application of a social clause that could possibly be linked to the wto

Full textThe postmodern urban condition cannot be approached today without addressing the question of nature in its broader sense and more specifically with regards to contemporary urbanity. It seems in fact that the object, the nature and the content of these concepts of urbanity and nature are being relaxed and enlarged to give birth to new ways of life combining the qualities of the city and the countryside. The progressive elimination of distinction between city and countryside which took place during the second half of the twentieth century led our massively urban post-industrial societies to construct a new relationship with the surrounding environment. From urban nature to new forms of countryside urbanities, from environment to patrimonial nature, the question of urban sprawl as weil as new ways of conceptualizing the city in a durable fashion is at the heart of fundamental social debates. Three civilizations are approached here within their identity and historical perspectives, both contemporary and future, with regards to this relationship between nature and urbanity. These three societies, the European, the North American and the Chinese, were chosen in their capacity as well-known references when it comes to landscape, especially with respect to the city. Our analysis is comparative to European and North American traits. With China, it is also enriched with a look from a distance, in order to enlarge the analysis of the urban postmodern condition in the West with the effect of a detour. Beyond the territorial question, a social question is asked today in an exacerbated manner which touches on the very foundations of our modern civilizations

Full textGeographical population structure of the North American larch, Larix laricina [Du roi] K. Koch was studied using mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA polymorphisms. Some populations from Alaska and Labrador were genetically differentiated from neighboring populations, suggesting that these two regions served as glacial refugia. The spatial distribution of haplotypes revealed a cleavage between eastern and western populations, which are probably representative of two distinct glacial lineages that expanded from the south of the ice sheet following the last glacial maximum. Mapped pollen records helped inferring the putative location of glacial refugia south-west of the Great Lakes, west of the Appalachians, as well as in Alaska and Labrador. High population differentiation among western populations likely indicates that interspecific competition was strong during the postglacial colonization of the region.

Full textIndustrial disasters remind us everyday that serious environmental dangers threaten our planet. Insurance provides one sort of financing method to recover from environmental damage. This thesis illuminates the issue of insurability and insurance of environmental risk by way of a comparative analysis of practices in the European Union and North America (United States, Canada). First of all, this study analyzes the manner in which environmental risk can be insured from legal, technical and financial perspectives and reveals the different nature of the guarantee provided by each of theses perspectives. Second, this work studies the manner in which environmental risk is insured and rectified by insurance companies on a local or international level. This study reveals that insurance generally plays an important role in repairing of environmental risk that arises, but more particularly, insurance plays a crucial preventive role, in a sustainable development objective

Full textPicoplankton includes planktonic microbes ranging from 0.2 to 3 μm in diameter. Among photosynthetic groups are cyanobacteria, and microbial eukaryotes whose ecology and diversity are poorly known. These picophytoplankton contribute significantly to oceanic carbon fixation and primary production. The objective of this thesis was to investigate the relative importance of autotrophic plankton along with heterotrophic picoeukaryotes. The study focused on samples of surface and subsurface chlorophyll maximum collected in the Gulf of Maine (July 2010) and the Scotian Shelf (April and October 2009). The combination of molecular techniques clone libraries and pyrosequencing, targeting 18S rRNA genes and transcripts as well as the functional gene psbA, which codes for a protein D1 of photosystem II were used. It was apparent that the picoeukaryotes are dynamic communities with distinct assemblages during the spring blooms compared to late summer - autumn conditions, and between regions near shore vs offshore. Differences in distribution, species composition and community structure were associated with hydrographic changes, where the temperature, which strongly influences the stratification, seemed to play a major role. Overall the study revealed the diversity of haptophytes and the high relative abundance of Mamiellophyceae (Chlorophyta). Heterotrophic flagellates varied over time for some taxa (Choanoflagellates, MAST-1, -4, -7) while others persisted. Comparisons between rRNA genes rRNA provided a new perspection on the status of communities and highlighted the potential of using both approachesto describe the state of the ecosystem.

Full textThis thesis deals with the issue of a decade-long rise in the number of particular phenomena of mystification that use very elaborate communication mechanisms : the media hoaxes. Appeared in the 18th century and closely linked to ancient and popular practices, the elaborate hoax, associate with media and new technologies, implements audacious processes that became increasingly sophisticated. The analysis of nine hoaxes cases that have benefited from a wide media echoe during the period 2004 to 2008 emphasizes the significance of interaction between the author, his target and the audience. It also testifies the context's high impact upon the success of the action. The profound transformations that go through worldwide societies and the upheavals that modify and often weaken the information world obviously represent a favourable ground for a multiplication of media hoaxes. From the erosion of conditions in journalism practices, the fiercecompetition which affects various media, the growing attraction for fictions as true, to the constant search for novelty and the spectacular, false information and other mischievous mystifications find every reason to proliferate.As the transgressive course taken by media hoaxes in recent years has led to a stringent legislation and the victims' retaliations, we question the uncertain future of this research topic as a practice in the final part of the thesis

Full textThe museological relations developed between France and North America have been explored by researchers in museology but these have hardly exploited the wealth of information contained in the French collections of North American objects. The history of the making of the Fayolle Collection, which gave birth to the Cabinet of Sérent at Versailles has been studied over a period starting with New-France and going as far as our present days, in order to gather material that could be of help to future research by art historians and French curators. The private origin of this collection dating 1767 has been explored at length to favour a more objective writing of the history of the museums in France, among which that of the short-lived Versailles National Museum. This collection has proved to be a case study of the development and culture of French museology in contact with a North American material culture, exceptionally preserved in the space of French museums. Its collecting practices have been approached not only from the point of view of a French institutional history but also considering it as a North American museographical heritage. An actual history of the places, but also a descriptive work of the actors of this heritage has been written using archives and documents either rediscovered or mostly unpublished. The major role played by individual and social interactions within museum environments in the interpretation of French collecting in American territories has been reaffirmed. The analysis going as far as 2007 of the exhibition of the objects of this cabinet as a patrimonial element of French museography has testified to the existence of a cultural continuum between France and North America. Over the period of time under study a French-American praxis of museology has been revealed through the diversification of professional and academic circles of French museology. Moreover museum logics specific to spaces devoted to North American collections in France have appeared. Those conclusions characterize the Fayolle collection, a witness to a shared theorization of the field that is Museology

Full textThis thesis deals with the concept of the American Indian. To begin with, we deconstruct the idea of the American Indian and consider our understanding of the various elements and how they contribute to the overall meaning. It is the result of collating several figurative representations and it allows us to consider the contribution of different sources, for example mythology and ideology. The first chapter introduces the conceptual notion of the figure whilst also demonstrating other examples than the Indian. The second section considers how individual authors have influenced their portrayals of the American Indian and how these are interlinked. The pictorial representations by illustrators are an invaluable contributory source. The differences that exist between French and American interpretations are also considered in this chapter. The third part is devoted, in particular, to the construction of the Indian figure. The relationship between the figure itself and the assembled evidence allows us to explore the mechanism behind the construction "the Indian". A focus of the study is the “Western” film and how social and historical considerations have impacted on the American Indian as a figure. The mechanism of this is studied chronologically from the early twentieth century to the modern day. The last section demonstrates how a negative image of the American Indian has resulted in a distorted and inaccurate perception of this minority group. Moreover, it considers how this has had a detrimental impact on the integration of the Native American today into society as a whole
