Résumé :

Human memory is not like a videotape that conserves faithful records of events. Rather, memories are reconstructed, and to this end people engage in a fallible process of source monitoring. When source monitoring, people judge whether their mental content constitutes a memory by considering its characteristics. For instance, vivid, plausible, familiar mental images are more likely to be memories than are mental images that possess none of these cues. Such cues—derived from a subjective inspection of mental content—are here termed internal evidence of an event’s occurrence. Contrastingly, recent research has examined the capacity of external evidence—obtained via perception rather than introspection—to promote distortions. This thesis explores the effects of external evidence on autobiographical beliefs and memories, in terms of the underlying cognitive mechanisms, the conditions under which distortions can occur, and their behavioural consequences. Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate the capacity of external evidence to distort people’s beliefs and memories of their recent experiences, even those that are memorable, and even when people are warned about false evidence. These experiments provide preliminary data on causal mechanisms underlying the distortions, explored more directly in Experiment 3. The findings of Experiments 1-3 have numerous practical applications, particularly with respect to the functions of legal evidence. Experiments 4-5 ask whether seeing fabricated evidence might elicit false confessions from innocent suspects. The experiments show extremely high levels of compliance, and demonstrate that seeing false evidence can promote internalisation of guilt, and confabulation. Alongside discussion of theoretical implications of Experiments 1-5, the findings are used to amend Mazzoni and Kirsch’s (2002) model of autobiographical belief and memory. The amended model captures the effects of external evidence on source monitoring, and thus provides a better account of autobiographical memory processes. This thesis, in sum, helps us to understand the roles of external evidence in memory construction.

Résumé :

This thesis examines the challenges for professional practice, socialisation, and identity in Physiotherapy. The government‘s modernisation agenda and society‘s increasing expectations of healthcare require physiotherapists to update their role, location, and identity. Physiotherapy has viewed identity as a fixed entity emphasizing coherence, continuity and distinctiveness. Socialisation has required the acquisition of a professional identity as one among several necessary assets‘ for novices. Yet how do physiotherapists come to be the physiotherapists they are?

Résumé :

In the current literature review I examine false memory research, including variables that affect memory accuracy, instrumentation, and analyses used to assess false memory construction, as well as possible frameworks accounting for the development of false memories. Do errors in memory occur during encoding of an event or during retrieval of a memory? I discuss two models of false memories, both born from the source-monitoring framework, to highlight the important cognitive processes leading to crucial errors in memory recall. In the study that follows I investigate whether repeated imaginings of an implausible autobiographical event will lead to the creation of false memories. Plausibility, in the form of prevalence ratings, and visual imagery are manipulated for six suggested events that could have occurred during childhood. A model proposed by Pezdek and colleagues supports the roles of plausibility and imagination in false memory construction (Pezdek, Finger & Hodge, 1997; Pezdek, Blandon-Gitlin & Gabbay, 2006). However, their model is based on research conducted using a Life Events Inventory, a survey that assesses a belief rather than a memory construct. In the present study, I use the Autobiographical Belief and Memory Questionnaire, a survey instrument that distinctly measures plausibility, belief and memory (Scoboria, Mazzoni, Kirsch & Relyea, 2004). Confirmatory factor analysis is employed for instrument validation, followed by a 2 (plausibility: high or low) x 3 (number of imaginings: 0, 1, 5) x 2 (time: pre or post) within subjects ANOVA to test the Pezdek model of false memory construction. Both belief and memory ratings increase significantly when imagination is employed, regardless of event plausibility. However, memory ratings increase as the number of imaginings increase. Belief ratings only increase with one imagining. Present results provide insight into the role of visual imagery on memory accuracy, and inform researchers of appropriate survey instruments and statistical analyses to detect false memories. False memory research is valuable for informing therapeutic techniques, evaluating the reliability of eyewitness testimony, and advising interrogation procedures used by law enforcement and legal officials.

Résumé :

School Psychology
Ph.D.
Working memory (WM) has been closely linked to learning and achievement in children (Gathercole et al., 2004). The Forchelli Following Directions Task (FFDT) is a 15-item group-administered screener designed to assess working memory ability in school-aged children. The FFDT was developed to address the need for early identification of children with working memory difficulty. It specifically focuses on the need for easily administered and ecologically valid assessment. The FFDT was developed based on tasks cited in research to assess WM. The measure was developed across three iterations after receiving continual review from research experts in working memory and a group of three elementary school teachers. It also was piloted by three elementary school children to assess group-administration considerations. Participants in the validation study were 70 elementary school students 5 to 10 years of age spanning kindergarten to third grade were recruited from schools in the greater Philadelphia area. Participants were administered the group-administered working memory screener and completed individually administered measures of working memory, the WISC-IV Digit Span and Spatial Span, for comparison. Parents and teachers also completed behavior rating scales (i.e., BRIEF) measuring working memory. The FFDT demonstrated a sufficient Alpha's coefficient, indicating internal consistency. Significant Pearson correlations were found between existing measures of WM and the FFDT, indicating that the FFDT measures WM ability to a similar extent. The FFDT demonstrated good sensitivity to age and grade, as well. Further, the results of a ROC analysis comparing the identification of WM difficulty on the FFDT to existing measures of WM demonstrated a low to moderate effect. Overall, results indicate that the FFDT exhibited good reliability and validity. The anecdotal support of elementary school teachers and time efficiency of the task compared to existing WM measures also suggests good ecological validity. This study also demonstrated the utility of the FDDT in populations within a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework. Further research will be challenged to investigate the FFDT further scrutinize the construct validity and demonstrate significance in a larger, more representative sample of students.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Ni-Mn-Ga and In-Tl are two examples of shape memory alloys. Their shape memory effect is controlled by the martensitic transformation from the high temperature cubic phase to the low temperature tetragonal phase. Experimentally, it was found that the martensitic transformation, related to the elastic properties, is highly composition-dependent.In order to better understand the phase transition and facilitate the design of new materials with improved shape memory properties, the atomic scale description of the thermophysical properties of these alloys is needed. Therefore, in the presen tthesis, the elastic properties and phase stability of Ni-Mn-Ga and In-Tl shape memory alloys are investigated by the use of first-principles exact muffin-tin orbitals method in combination with the coherent-potential approximation. We present a theoretical description of the equilibrium properties of pure In and standard stoichiometric Ni2MnGa alloy with both cubic and tetragonal structures. In In-Tl alloys, all the calculated composition-dependent thermophysical properties: lattice parameter c/a, tetragonal shear modulus C" = (C11 - C12)/2, energy difference between the austenitic and martensitic phases, as well as electronic structures are shown to be in line with the experimentally observed lowering of the martensitic transition temperature TM with the addition of Tl. For most of the off-stoichiometric Ni2MnGa, the excess atoms of the rich component prefer to occupy the sublattice of the deficient one, except for the Ga-rich alloys, where the excess Ga atoms have strong tendency to take the Mn sublattice irrespective of the Mn occupation. In Ni-Mn-Ga-X (X=Fe, Co, and Cu) quarternary alloys, Fe atom prefers to occupy the Mn and Ni sublattices even in Ga-deficient alloys; Co has strong tendency to occupy the Ni-sublattice in all types of alloys; Cu atoms always occupy the sublattice of the host elements in deficiency. For most of the studied Ni-Mn-Ga and Ni-Mn-Ga-X alloys with stable site-occupations, the shear modulus C" can be considered as a predictor of the composition dependence of TM of the alloys: the alloy with larger C" than that of the perfect Ni2MnGa generally possesses lower TM except for Ni2Mn1+xGa1-x and Ni2Mn1-xGaFex. The failure of C" as a factor of TM in these two types of alloys may be ascribed that the compositiondependentmagnetic interactions and the temperature-dependent C0, which also playan important role on the martensitic transformation in these alloys. Furthermore, wedemonstrate that a proper account of the temperature and composition dependence ofC0 gives us reasonable theoretical TM(x) values in Ni2+xMn1-xGa alloys. Also in this type of Ni-rich and Mn-deficient alloys, by using the Heisenberg model in combination with the mean-field approximation, the abnormal trend of experimental magnetic transition temperature TC(x) with respect to the composition x is shown to be well captured by the theory.

Résumé :

This text documents an a/r/tographic act of inquiry into memory and identity (de)construction. Speaking in, through, and of images the work physically situates itself in spaces uncharted. Meaning asserts and reveals itself between words, creating an other-text which defies boundaried definitions in its resistance to be known. That which we seek to map or mark eludes us. Knowledge is displaced in its representation. It is our longing for meaning which paradoxically interferes with its own processes. Spaces (dis)lodged between borderlands (Irwin 2004) shift and elude our grasp. The work resists that which it seeks to define and erases that which it seeks to name. It calls upon us to create space for doubt and unknowing within our own longing for understanding(s). If, as Grumet (1996) asserts "education is about a human being making sense of her life" (17) we must be aware of the ways curricular directives "do and do not stand for our experience" (19). The crisis of modernism is that we exist as fractured selves (Pinar 1996) within curricular landscapes which cut us off from our own identity (24). Pinar claims that "understanding curriculum as the revelation and construction of identity implies understanding education as a form of social psychoanalysis... (American) identity is constructed partly by denial, by maintaining fictions" (25). I view curriculum as traumatized text - that which refuses to be 'known' by the curriculum serves to subvert, bury and deny the learner's knowing. Absence of authentic dialogue creates gaps in the curricular landscape which serve to silence and partition off knowing - essentially, the learners are partitioned off from themselves. The work calls upon us to re-imagine curriculum as the space between learner and text/image, where meaning is continually (re)(de)constructed in the fissures of lived experience. It calls upon us to dwell (Aoki 1993) in spaces of uncertainty and ambiguity - spaces for possibility. If wisdom begins in wonder (Socrates) as I believe it does, we must embrace what may be the ultimate paradox in teaching: to facilitate learning we must also be willing to facilitate unlearning. May we, as Walt Whitman decrees, 'ordain ourselves loos'd of limits and imaginary lines'.

Résumé :

This thesis focuses on the roles of memory and identity in Octavia E. Butler’s novels: Kindred, Lilith’s Brood, Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents, and Fledgling. By using material from such diverse disciplines as philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and sociology, I have treated the characters in Butler’s novels as individual selves; selves narrated by a living Butler. In current identity studies, the thought is that the self is constructed through narrative; therefore, what better way to analyze individual characters and communities than through the narrative provided by Butler. These selves are, of course, fictional, but how often are the selves we present, even temporarily, to the world in a given situation a fictional construction. We use many different critical tools to interpret and understand the world around us. While it is important to acknowledge the insightful implications of Butler’s work in regard to African American, gender, and feminist studies, there are unexplored approaches to her writing that can contribute to understanding the intricacies of Butler’s writing. This look at Butler’s texts shows that by opening up the ways we traditionally look at certain texts we can gain a more multi-faceted view of those texts, which are sometimes viewed through a type of tunnel vision. My discussion begins with a look at the theories used in the analyses of Butler’s novels. First, I look at Kindred and a discussion of individual identities and how they are deeply connected to group affiliations, as well as history. Then I move on to how group identities are created and influenced by collective memories in Lilith’s Brood. The Parable novels are the focus of my discussion on the construction of self through narrative. I end my analyses with a look at neuroscience and memory pathology through the amnestic protagonist of Fledgling.

Résumé :

Establishment of the independent Republic of Armenia in 1991 has been a turning point in the Armenian history; except for the existence of an independent Armenian republic between 1918 and 1920, by the dissolution of the USSR, Armenians gained an independent state after more than six hundred years. The transition of the Soviet Armenia to an independent republic stimulated not only the radical dislocation of the established economic, political and socio-cultural structures in Armenia, but also transformed the routine in the Armenian diaspora communities. In this process, aiding the frail and infant independent Armenian republic became a paramount ethno-national cause among the diaspora communities and, by extension, one of the principal ethno-national binders, as well as a chief cause of controversies. Overall, the post-1991 era has witnessed the re-territorialization of the de-territorialized Armenian political imagination in the diaspora. This facilitated the post-1991 trans-state Armenian ethno-national re-construction along the Armenia-diaspora nexus. A parallel process to that has been the construction of the social reality of the post-1991 Armenia. This dissertation examines the construction of the Armenian ethno-national social reality of the post-1991 Armenia through the discursive social practices of the Armenian state, new generation diaspora organizations and the diasporic individuals within the communicative space formed along the Armenia-diaspora nexus. The examination demonstrates that concerns over the physical and cultural survival of the Armenian ethno-nation expressed in different ways are the main considerations that eventually result in the construction of the post-1991 Armenia as the guardian and the soil of the Armenianness. From an abstract point of view, the actual agent of discourses that speaks through the Armenian state, new generation diaspora organizations and the diasporic individuals is the â€œanxious Armenianâ€ who searches stability and security, reclaims her ethno-national identity, and is concerned about the cultural survival of the Armenian ethno-nation. Besides all, she is the one who â€œremembersâ€ the genocide. This â€œanxious Armenianâ€ , instead, is the person that the social memory of the genocide speaks itself through. As such, genocide is not only the â€œdefining and founding momentâ€ of the contemporary Armenian identity, but also the â€œdefining and founding momentâ€ of the post-1991 Armenia.

Résumé :

Conventional PM machines have fixed PM excitation and can only perform flux-weakening by controlling the d-axis current. This current incurs the power dissipation and reduces the efficiency during flux-weakening operations. Memory machines change this situation by introducing the memory function, namely magnetizing or reversely magnetizing Al-Ni-Co PMs to change the air-gap flux density. This provides another new way to realizing flux-weakening. And the elimination of the flux-weakening d-axis current improves the overall efficiency. But the single-memory machines have lower power density due to the low-energy Al-Ni-Co PMs. By incorporating the memory concept and with the intention of improving the power density, the DC-excited PMBL dual-memory machines have been proposed and implemented, based on two kinds of PMs which are high-coercivity Nd-Fe-B PMs and low-coercivity Al-Ni-Co PMs. The Nd-Fe-B PMs provide a strong magnetic field to excite high air-gap flux density; while the Al-Ni-Co PMs can be forward magnetized to strengthen the magnetic field produced by Nd-Fe-B PMs or can be reversely magnetized to cancel that field. Consequently the air-gap flux density can be controlled within a wide range. A series of design principles on such kind of dual-memory machine are devised for guidance. The key design principles involve how to determine the number of salient poles on the stator and rotor, how to choose the surface areas and thicknesses of the two kind of PM pieces and how to size the rotor dimension. Generally, increase on the proportion of Nd-Fe-B PMs will raise the base field and the load capacity. On the other hand, increment on the proportion of Al-Ni-Co PMs will extend the controllable flux range. Analysis is also carried out on the equivalent magnetic circuit to formulate the magnetizing force exerted on Al-Ni-Co PMs. The machine model is analyzed by using time-stepping FEM (TS-FEM) and co-simulation of FEM software and Matlab Simulink. The dynamic reverse magnetizing processes are simulated and presented in details under different magnetizing current. In addition the effect of adding iron bridges between the two kinds PMs is also evaluated by simulations. Furthermore, the control methods are evaluate by simulations and experiments. The direct torque control (DTC) scheme is adapted to this doubly-salient dual-memory machine and a torque estimator is proposed to facilitate the DTC method. Both of the simulation results and the experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed design principles and the effectiveness of the control methods. Eventually, this dual-memory machine is proposed as a pole-changing wind power generator and a pole-changing EV machine. Simulation and experimental results have verified the validity of the pole-changing scheme and the pole-protection scheme.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Companies struggle against complex and dynamic conditions in order to survive in their business settings. Being in the knowledge era, learning has been accepted as one of the main sources of sustainable competitive advantage. Organizational learning (OL) is a set of activities to obtain organizational memory (OM) by acquiring, sharing, interpreting, integrating and institutionalizing knowledge. OM is exploited by the companies in strategic decision-making process, which makes OL a critical concept. The major objective of this study is to explore how construction companies create OM and how they exploit this asset in strategic decision-making process. In this context, an interview study is conducted with eight large Turkish construction companies and OM perceptions of each company are presented as case studies. This survey revealed the strengths and weaknesses in terms of OL competence. One of the key outputs is that companies are successful at acquiring and storing knowledge but they are not familiar with decision support systems (DSSs) that benefit from OM. Such systems enable OL by assisting decision makers in processing, assessing, integrating and organizing knowledge. To meet the requirements of the industry, a DSS is proposed to aid construction companies in international market entry decisions. This tool is generated under a software package by adopting case-based reasoning (CBR) as the problem solving approach, which finds solutions to new problems based on the past experiences. The model is developed by the acquisition of past real international project data as input information. The model produces two outputs that are indicators of attractiveness of a project and competitiveness of a company, which are the key decision criteria in international market entry problem.

Résumé :

Theatre is a location of cultures, the reflection of our daily lives, the present moment we are living. This thesis focuses on studying performances of the Hakka Contemporary Theatre created by female directors (Hakka and Non-Hakka) in Taiwan to observe how they combine western modern theatre forms with Hakka traditional and cultural elements and further transformed the specifics of Hakka culture on stage and represented various images of Hakka women. Through applying theories in relation to diaspora discourse, the hybridity of post-colonialism and postcolonial feminism and theatre study as the foundation of academic research, I attempted to critically examine the hybrid forms and development of the Hakka Contemporary Theatre to explore in depth the meaning of Hakka culture represented in theatre. In this thesis, I firstly offer performance analysis and draw on hybridity discourse and feminism in relation to post-colonial study to discuss three elements: the interaction and negotiated relationship between Hakka women (including female directors and the Hakka actresses), Hakka culture, and modern theatre forms. Furthermore, as part of my research, I critically reflect upon a practical performance project I have undertaken to illustrate how Hakka culture could be presented as subject and be constructed as the subjectivity of the Hakka ethnic group in post-colonial Taiwan. I hope that this thesis may encourage more Taiwanese to appreciate the value of Hakka culture and offer Taiwanese theatrical practitioners a practice of critical hybridity in associating ethnic and cultural issues of Taiwan in the future.

This thesis examines memory construction and landscape interaction on ghost tours at Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. The research in this thesis centers on the ways in which ghost tours in the area interact with the cemetery?s landscape and how oral narratives compare with written sources through the lenses of authority and authenticity. Ghost tour narratives are included in a larger argument for their usefulness and importance to archaeologists, especially for introducing dialogues with local communities about site interpretation and preservation. This may also be useful for archaeologists researching intersections of landscape interactions and modern interpretations.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Using myth, media memory, and boundary work as the theoretical underpinnings, this research aims to understand how journalists manipulated meanings assigned to a single subject over a long period of time. The research explores how journalists shaped and reshaped former Penn State University football coach Joe Paterno, and how journalists imprinted evolving cultural values on Paterno. As “what matters” within a culture shifts, the journalistic narrative of authority figures and heroes shifts along with it to reflect new or emerging cultural values. The research also examined what happens to a profession when it faces severe structural unrest. In this case, disruption to the Paterno narrative was caused by new technologies that increased access to the profession. To accomplish these research goals, the researcher employed qualitative and historical research methods, including archival research, textual analysis of newspaper, magazine, and online articles, and a critical historical analysis that allowed for input from multiple paradigms. The examination of shifting, long-term journalistic narrative matters because it helps us understand how cultures respond and adapt to gradual changes in values or sudden moments of public trauma. This research also offers journalism professionals insights into how new technologies affect industrial structures.

This thesis explores the transforming embodiment of sex that is integral to the development of running/jogging culture between 1979-1995. Actor-network theory, a foucauldian approach and critical realism are each used to elucidate different aspects of running including the way it defines sex through the body, clothing, space and the rules and practices of running, jogging and racing.

Résumé :

The central idea of this paper is to make a critical review of the gaucho archetype analyzed from his corporality and identity. Corporality that recreates during a particular territoriality: the pilgrimage on horseback to the Our Lady Basilica at Lujan, Argentina. The purpose of this reviewing is the search of empirical connections among the diverse social objects, the traditionalist displacement and the religious practice, where corporality becomes substantial as catalyzer of those subjacent differentiations, non-viewed, under an apparent homogeneity.From there, it looks to break up the ingenuous vision of a unique and universal model of being gaucho, pilgrim and Argentine.
La idea central que organiza este trabajo parte de la revisión crítica del arquetipo gaucho analizado desde su corporalidad e identidad. Corporalidad que se recrea durante una particular territorialidad: la peregrinación a caballo hacia la basílica de Nuestra Señora de Luján, en la ciudad de Luján, Argentina. El propósito de esta revisión es la búsqueda de conexiones empíricas entre los sujetos sociales diversos, el movimiento tradicionalista y la práctica religiosa, en que la corporalidad se hace sustantiva como catalizadora de estas diferenciaciones que subyacen, inadvertidas, por debajo de una aparente homogeneidad. Y a partir de allí, romper con la visión ingenua de un único modelo posible e universal del ser gaucho, peregrino y argentino.

Résumé :

Architecture is visuality. Its object is what Norman Bryson has referred to as a screen of signs. â Between subject and the world is inserted the entire sum of discourses which make up visuality, that cultural construct, and make visuality different from vision, the notion of unmediated visual experience. Between retina and the world is inserted a screen of signs, a screen consisting of all the multiple discourses on vision built into the social arena.â (Norman Bryson, from Practice; Architecture, Technique, and Representation, by Stan Allen)

Architecture and representation are integral to the screen.

How do we make architecture?

Is the act of making architecture a montage?

Can architecture be made through montage?

What is the role of montage in an architecture for life and death?

The process of making architecture is not a prescribed methodology with a predetermined outcome. Architecture, crafted by the hand of the architect, is a divine act of assemblage of subconscious allegorical thought, image, and tectonics. Through this art of assemblage, an architecture is born capable of instigating a narrative of metaphor and memory. Metaphorical narrative has the innate ability of summoning memory, and is critical in an architecture for life and death. Architecture is the only total sensory means of narrative.

Bonnie Lynn-Sherow
At the conclusion of the first decade of the twentieth century, 60 percent of high school graduates were women. They were also the first generation of young women to be labeled as “adolescents” by psychologists. By 1950, the word “teenager” had not only been coined; it was part of everyday vernacular. Historians now recognize that adolescence — as a common set of ideas about how young people behave and interact with society — is a cultural construction that has changed over time. Using a combination of scholarly literature on the subject as well as primary sources to demonstrate and interpret the interplay between the exterior forces that shaped the cultural construction of adolescence and the interior forces that shaped young women's identities, this report addresses both how a collective memory of female adolescent identity arose and how individual memory operated in the context of this collective identity. Applying theories of collective memory to the individual diaries of six young women who came of age between 1870 and 1940, this analysis represents a departure from the traditional use of diaries in historical scholarship and provides a fresh approach to the analysis of collective memory.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This dissertation explores the relationship between social memory and the formation of community and individual identities in the Roman provinces of western continental Europe. While contributing to the burgeoning interest in memory in the Roman world, this study seeks to counterbalance the prevailing trends in modern scholarship that have generally neglected the role of memory in the West, focusing instead on the Greek East, or have misrepresented the importance of 'forgetting' in the provinces of Spain and Gaul. Through a combination of archaeological, literary, and especially epigraphic evidence, the project aims to paint a picture of local complexity, diversity, and agency, a corrective of previous emphases on the homogenizing processes of 'Romanization'. Having built a framework for understanding the ways in which local communities were imagined and reimagined, and how they situated themselves in time and space and differentiated themselves from 'others', the study then seeks to demonstrate the central place of social memory in the construction and performance of these local identities. This analysis takes into account the variform manifestations of community memory - from the cult of local heroes to the interweaving of Roman and local pasts in foundation myths, from dancers and druids to cosmologies and iconographies - and offers a new lens through which to view the western provinces. More broadly, in arguing for the fundamental importance of communities and of local identity within the Roman world, the project works toward an alternative model to both top-down and centripetal-acculturative interpretations of Roman imperialism.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The role of religion in the construction of peace has often been associated with healing, forgiveness and reconciliation once violence has stopped. The burden of peacebuilding, however, often lies on the shoulders of religious actors while the conflict is still happening. This thesis studies how religious actors have used the construction of social memory as a tool for peacebuilding in a context of thin transition and on-going conflict. It contributes towards our understanding of the relationship between religion and social memory, in the construction of master narratives of suffering after the massacre of Bojayá. The research design followed the approach of the case study method and was conducted through the use of ethnography, interviews, archival research, and the use of secondary data. The thesis explains how initiatives of religious peacebuilding have changed in response to different stages of conflict in Chocó. It argues that religious beliefs, such as social sin and accompaniment, influenced the creation of a wider narrative of social memory that includes not only crimes against human rights but abuses against economic and cultural rights. These beliefs contributed to strengthening a participatory bottom-up process of social memorialisation and peacebuilding. Contrary to official and widely spread narratives of social memory, the local church has contributed to explain violence in Chocó as a crime against humanity. This narrative has served two purposes. First, it aims to instigate a sense of urgency about the conflict that affects Afro-Colombian communities, demanding the intervention of the national civil society to stop the violence in the region. Second, broad narratives of atrocities can prevent the personalisation of violence and targeting individual perpetrators as the source of violence, averting the creation of new cycles of violence. In addition, the social construction of emotions in a religious context can shape the narratives of social memory that encourage the social construction of positive emotions in victims, such as dignity, optimism and happiness. Positive emotions are crucial in supporting a social peace process even before a political peace agreement has been signed. These initiatives of religious peacebuilding were analysed for their contribution to a model of emancipatory peacebuilding, which can expand our understanding of religious peacebuilding and the role of social memory in the construction of peace, by supporting the claims of transformative reparation and social justice from below.

Résumé :

This thesis investigates how memory provides a dynamic resource in the construction of meaning within the literary sphere, focusing particularly on poetry and criticism. The thesis examines how literature and history are opposed through the negotiation of traces (documents, events, references, etc.). Mimicking the trajectory of remembering, the study begins in the present, examining the current state of research on Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, and returns to the original traces, analysing Drieu’s first two texts, Interrogation (1917) and Fond de cantine (1920). The introduction provides a clarification of the thesis’ conceptual framework, which is drawn from psychoanalytic praxis and theory. The introduction begins the process of translating and adapting elements of the therapeutic cure particularly pertinent in the construction of meaning, such as transference, floating attention, free association, and the status of truth and its verification. By adapting these practices, a psychoanalytic approach to literature can offer more than a reading that reduces a text to the simple confirmation of psychoanalytical concepts. The first chapter comprises a review of the critical literature on Drieu La Rochelle, which has been marked by decades of biographical readings. A first reading uses historiographical debates and reflections to examine how Drieu has become part of the French literary canon, and is now a “lieu de mémoire”. Using psychoanalysis and Paul Ricoeur’s theory of narrative, the chapter then highlights recurring themes and strategies employed by critics in their narrativisation of Drieu’s life. The second chapter is an exhaustive reading of Interrogation organised around three cultural substrates that constitute the text’s memory. Religion, history and literature are mobilised to deny the unprecedented nature of the First World War. Instead, the war is figured as the newest manifestation of a timeless drive for violence, through which the subject experiences a temporality that confuses past and present. Through a reading of Fond de cantine, the third chapter charts the collapse of the three cultural substrates seen in Interrogation and the fragmentation of the subject under the weight of the historical event. The intrusion of history nonetheless offers the subject a strategy for the semanticisation of the war. The attempt to historicise the war that follows, however, confuses literary references and historical facts. As a consequence, a new experience of time emerges: the past is purely mythic, and the alienated present endures without hope for the future.

Résumé :

La construction de la paix en matière de sortie de crise admet l‟importance du rôle de la mémoire comme en témoigne la montée en puissance des politiques de la mémoire à qui incombe l‟apaisement de la mémoire collective d‟une société dans la résolution des conflits et le changement de régime politique. Cette entreprise reste assujettie à la connaissance ou non des violations graves des droits de l‟homme, à la réparation matérielle et symbolique à l‟égard des victimes en quête de reconnaissance ainsi qu‟à la réécriture de l‟histoire dans le but de changer les stéréotypes à l‟origine d‟une conflictualité à dominante communautaire.Du fait de l‟absence d‟un système judiciaire indépendant et d‟un État en position de tiers, les politiques de la mémoire initiées dans la résolution des crises congolaises tendent plutôt à légitimer un régime politique autoritaire au lieu de promouvoir la réconciliation. La constitutionnalisation de la paix, les mises en cause limitées des criminels de guerre et le déficit de « congolité » révèlent les lacunes de ces politiques et les constantes des politiques du pardon engagées sur la scène internationale.Dans cette optique, l‟édification d‟une paix positive différente d‟un simple arrêt des hostilités appelle l‟instauration d‟une corrélation entre le pardon et la justice dans une quête d‟accountability. Une telle approche requiert une attitude nouvelle à même de favoriser la mutation des conduites négatives en postures rationnelles afin d‟oublier les avanies du passé et de promouvoir un nouveau vivre en commun novateur. À ce titre, la réussite des politiques de la mémoire reste inséparable de la promotion graduelle d‟un projet commun entre les anciens belligérants. Si la mise en place de mécanismes de résolution des conflits futurs apparaît comme un facteur majeur, toute sortie de crise reste partielle quand elle n‟est pas affiliée à un processus de réconciliation
Building peace following a conflict reveals the importance of the role of the memory as witnessed by the increased importance of the memory policies witch are responsible of conflicts and the change of political regimes. This undertaking remains subject to the knowledge, or lack of it, of the serious violations of the rights of man, and the material and symbolic redress for victims seeking recognition as well as the rewriting of history with the aim of changing stereotypes at the origin of conflicts within a particular community.Given the absence of an independent judicial system and a third party State, the memory policies initiated in the resolution of Congolese conflicts tend towards legitimizing an authoritarian political regime rather than promoting reconciliation. The constitutionalizing of peace, the limited accusation of war criminals and the deficit of “congolité” reveals the inadequacy of these policies, and the continuance of the international pardon policies.In light of this, the edification of a positive peace that differs from a simple cessation of the hostilities requires the establishment of a correlation between forgiveness and justice in a quest for accountability. This approach calls for a fresh attitude capable of favouring the transformation of the negative behaviours into rational positions with the aim of forgetting past outrages in order to work toward promoting a new innovative communal life. If the establishment of the future resolution mechanisms appear to be a major factor, any withdrawal from a crisis remains partial when not associated with a process of reconciliation

Résumé :

La mise en place d’un comportement semble en grande partie déterminée par la capacité du système cognitif à intégrer, au sein de représentations cohérentes, le flux continu d’informations provenant de l’environnement. Les travaux réalisés lors de cette thèse viennent modérer ce lien de causalité, et apportent des éléments en faveur d’une co-détermination de l’intégration des informations perceptives et de la mise en place d’un comportement moteur. En d’autres termes, cette thèse soutient l’idée que les actions effectuées par un individu ne sont pas seulement le produit d’une activité interne, mais sont aussi et surtout une condition de possibilité de la construction d’une représentation cohérente de nos interactions avec l’environnement.La première étude que nous avons réalisée a permis de mettre en évidence le rôle fonctionnel des réponses motrices dans le processus d’intégration. Dans une seconde étude, nous avons montré que les composants perceptifs et moteurs ne sont pas seulement co-activés lors de l’activité perceptive, mais bien intégrés les uns aux autres au sein d’une même représentation sensorimotrice. Enfin, notre dernière étude indique que la construction de telles représentations pourrait dépendre de l’intégration des conséquences sensorimotrices de nos actions. Pris dans une perspective plus large, l’ensemble de ces résultats souligne le rôle fondamental de l’action dans la cognition, et suggère finalement de reconsidérer la distinction stricte que nous opérons habituellement entre les éléments perceptifs et moteurs qui composent nos représentations
The ability to integrate the vast amount of information coming from the environmentinto a coherent representation is usually considered a necessary conditionfor any behavior to take place. In this Ph.D. thesis, our proposal is to moderatethis apparent causality, and to bring new elements that support the idea of a codeterminationof the building of sensorimotor representations and the execution ofmotor behavior. In other words, we propose that actions are not only adapted toexternal constraints through an internal activity, but also contribute to the buildingof coherent representations of the world. Therefore, we made a series of experimentsto highlight the role of motor activity in the process of binding perceptiveinformation. The first study examined the functional role of motor responses inthe integration process, which were found to be a necessary condition for an integrationto take place. The second study investigated the link between perceptiveand motor components. The results showed that both are indeed integrated into acommon sensorimotor representation. Our final study shed light on the fact thatbuilding sensorimotor representations seems to rely on the integration of sensorimotoraction-effects. Taken together, our results point toward the critical role of motoractivity in cognitive processes, and question the relevance of distinguishing motorcomponents from perceptive ones

Résumé :

The Oregon coast is facing the dual perils of climate change and the catastrophic Cascadia subduction zone earthquake and tsunami, yet many communities remain unprepared. Using qualitative interviews with residents of Coos Bay, Oregon, this study traces how communities facing these perils socially construct their visions of change by “remembering the future” and how this future memory influences unsettlement that, in turn, can trigger revision of strategies of action to deal with environmental risk. Participants understood these risks through three interrelated themes: analogy to familiar circumstances such as regular winter flooding, narratives of isolation and self-reliance based in collective history, and visions of symbolic preparedness. Each of these themes drew the conversation away from the material reality of environmental catastrophe, reducing relative unsettlement. Since the way that communities collectively understand environmental risk may influence preparatory action, these observations can help to explain the disjunction between knowledge of risks and response.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Au cœur de la Haute-Savoie, entre janvier et mars 1944, un rassemblement d'hommes a lieu sur le Plateau des Glières. Sous les ordres du Lieutenant Tom Morel puis du capitaine Maurice Anjot, tous deux chasseurs alpins au 27eme BCA, ils ont pour mission de recevoir les parachutages d'armes dont les maquis du département ont besoin. Portés par la devise « Vivre Libre ou Mourir », les résistants mènent jusqu'à la fin mars 1944 contre les forces de Vichy puis de la Wehrmacht, un combat disproportionné. Si l'on ne peut parler de sacrifice, plus d'une centaine de maquisards y laissent leur vie. S'ensuit une reconstitution organisée des maquis jusqu'au 1er août 1944, date où trois milles hommes se rassemblent à nouveau aux Glières pour accueillir les parachutages les plus massifs jamais reçus par la résistance. Dès la mi-août 1944, les forces de la Résistance libèrent leur département. La défaite des armes se transforme en victoire. Dès 1944, les rescapés se regroupent au sein d'une association. Ils enterrent leurs morts, rédigent un premier livre-témoignages et publient le premier numéro de Messages. En 1973, ils lancent un concours international pour la construction d'un monument. De temps forts en temps de latence, la mémoire des Glières s'érige progressivement autour d'un récit enrichi de références mythologiques, qui devient une source potentielle d'inspiration d'un« vouloir vivre ensemble ». Soixante-cinq ans plus tard, la mémoire du maquis des Glières est toujours vivante, portée par des acteurs engagés dans le partage d'un héritage citoyen. Le processus de construction de la mémoire des Glières constitue le véritable enjeu herméneutique de cette thèse de doctorat
At the heart of Haute-Savoie, between January and March 1944, a gathering of men took place on the Plateau des Glières. Under the command of Lt. Tom Morel and of Captain Maurice Anjot, both chasseurs alpins at the 27th BCA, they are mandated to receive air drops of weapons whose the "maquis" of the Department have a pressing need. Driven by the motto "Live Free or Die", the resistance lead a disproportionate fight against the Vichy forces and then against those of Wehrmacht up to the end of March 1944. Even if one can not talk about sacrifice, more than one hundred "maquisards" lose their lives. There then followed an organized reconstruction of the maquis until the 1st August 1944, when three thousand men gather again to receive the most massive air drops ever received by resistance during daylight. At the middle of August 1944 and due to successful air drops, the Resistance forces liberate their department. The defeat of weapons becomes a victory. Since 1944, the survivors gather in a organization called "the association of survivors of Glières".' They bury their dead, write a first testimonial book and publish the first issue of "Messages". In 1973, they launch an international competition to build a monument. Going alternatively through successful and troubled times, the memory of the Glières stands gradually around a co-constructed story enriched with mythological references. Sixty-five years later, the memory of the Glières "maquis" is still alive, driven by players and commonly engaged in the share of a citizen heritage. So, the process of building the Glières memory is the real hermeneutics issue of this thesis

Résumé :

The overall aim of this thesis was to describe patients’ experience and reconstruction regarding the onset of, and events surrounding being struck by a Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (SAH), and to describe patients’ and relatives’ views of patients’ memory ability, emotional status and activities of living, in a long-term perspective. Methods: Both inductive and deductive approaches were used. Nine open interviews were carried out in home settings, in average 1 year and 7 seven months after the patients’ onset, and discourse analysis was used to interpret the data. Eleven relatives and 11 patients, 11 years after the onset, and 15 relatives and 15 patients, 6 years after the onset, participated in two studies. Interviews using a questionnaire with structured questions and memory tests were used to collect data. Fischer’s exact test and Z-scores were used for the statistical analysis. Results: Patients with experience of a SAH were able to judge their own memory for what happened when they became ill. The reconstruction of the illness event may be interpreted as an identity creating process. The process of meaning-making is both a matter of understanding SAH as a pathological event and a social and communicative matter, where the SAH is construed into a meaningful life history, in order to make life complete (I). Memory problems, changes in emotional status and problems with activities of living were common (II-IV). There was correspondence between relatives’ and patients’ statements regarding the patients’ memory in general and long-term memory. Patients judged their own memory ability better than relatives, compared with results on memory tests. Relatives stated that some patients had meta-memory problems (II). The episodic memory seemed to be well reserved, both concerning the onset and in the long-term perspective (I, II). There were more problems with social life than with P- and I-ADL (III), and social company habits had changed due to concentration difficulties, mental fatigue, and patients’ sensitivity to noisy environments and uncertainty (IV). Relatives rated the patients’ ability concerning activities of living and emotional status, and in a similar manner to patients’ statements (III-IV). Conclusions: The reconstruction of the illness event can be used as a tool in nursing for understanding the patient’s identity-construction. Relatives and patients stated the patients’ memory, emotional status and activities of living in a similar manner, and therefore both patients’ and relatives’ statements can be used as a tool in nursing care, in order to support the patient. However, the results showed: meta-memory problems (relatives’ statements) and that the patients’ judged their own memory ability better than relatives in comparison with results on memory tests. Nevertheless, there was a high degree of concordance between relatives’ and patients’ evaluations concerning patients´ memory ability, emotional status, emotional problems, social company habits and activities of living. Therefore both relatives’ and patients’ statements can be considered to be reliable. However, sometimes the patients and the relatives judge the patients’ memory differently. Consequently, memory tests and formalized dialogues between the patient, the relative and a professional might be required, in order to improve the mutual family relationship in a positive way. Professionals however, must first assume that patients can judge their own memory, emotional status and ability in daily life.

This dissertation addresses the development and the testing of a simulation tool to be used to predict the behaviour of smart material/structures. Along with the development of the simulation tool, a new form of the model describing the behaviour of shape-memory alloy was developed and implemented. The proposed model was developed based on the existing cosine model, conventionally used in literature, but it uses hyperbolic tangent functions. The hyperbolic tangent function was chosen so as to allow the simulation of any range of temperatures. Experiments were performed to obtain the parameters to be used in the simulation and to validate the numerical results. Two different simulations were performed: a one dimensional FEA analysis with a two dimensional orientation (NiTi SMA wire simulation) and a three dimensional FEA analysis (NiTi SMA plate) [Msomi and Oliver, 2015]. Alongside the FEA analysis, two experiments were performed with the purpose of obtaining the material parameters to be used in FEA analysis and to compare the FEA results to the experimental results.

Résumé :

History
Ph.D.
The acquisition of the home of George Washington by the Mount Vernon Ladies Association in 1858 was probably the first preservation project led by women in the United States. During the following decades, elite Philadelphia and Montgomery County women continued the construction of historical memory through the organization and popularization of exhibitions, fundraising galas, preservation of historical sites, publication of historical writings, and the erection of patriotic monuments. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, including annual organizations' reports, minutes of committees and of a DAR chapter, correspondence, reminiscences, newspapers, circulars, and ephemera, the dissertation argues that privileged women constructed a classed and gendered historical memory, which aimed to write women into the national historical narrative and present themselves as custodians of history. They constructed a subversive historical account that placed women on equal footing with male historical figures and argued that women played a significant role in shaping the nation's history. During the first three decades, privileged women advanced an idealized memory of Martha and George Washington with an intention to reconcile the sectional rift caused by the Civil War. From the early 1890s, with the formation of the Daughters of the American Revolution, elite women of colonial and revolutionary war ancestry constructed a more inclusive memory of revolutionary soldiers that aimed to inculcate the public, particularly recent immigrants, in patriotic and civic values. An introductory chapter demonstrates the social, political, and economic vulnerability of the elites and the institutions and historical memory they forged to shore up their privileged status from the colonial period to the Civil War. Through the organization of the Great Central Fair held in Philadelphia in 1864, the fundraising campaign on behalf of the Centennial Exposition, the preservation of George Washington's Headquarters at Valley Forge, the formation of the Historical Society of Montgomery County, and the activities of the Valley Forge Chapter DAR the dissertation demonstrates that women employed their experience to expand their activities beyond regional boundaries while also tending to local history. The dissertation contributes to the discussion regarding the construction of memory by adding gender and class as categories of analysis. It also adds to the historical debate regarding the professionalization of history by exploring women's historical writings during the period of institutionalization of history.

Résumé :

Ethno-linguistic diversities and the rights to enjoy and maintain indigenous languages and identities has been a central issue in the socio-political agenda of Turkey since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. The Lazi have taken their part in the discussions concerning minority rights through the discourses of a group of Lazi activists since the early 1990s.This study aims to examine the discursive construction of Lazi identity with close attention to its various actors and the context in which the process is carried out. To this end, selected texts by the social actors who are involved in the Lazi identity building process are studied in terms of various functions of language contributing to the communicative production of discourses. The content of written and oral commentaries by various social actors who are influential in the Lazi identity building process is studied using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA).The study concludes that the construction of Lazi identity is an on-going process which is developed by influential social actors. The discourses of Lazi activists display a dilemma between the commitment to establish or re-establish a distinct Lazi identity with emphasis on a distinct language and culture rooted in ancient history and a determination to remain a component of the Republic of Turkey.

Résumé :

In the last decade, embedded systems embraced many-core designs, to meet the demand for performance at low power budgets by the market, especially since smartphone and tablets went mainstream. The shared-memory communication paradigm is a promising solution to ease programmability on these platforms. However, it is born for programming symmetric multi-processor sytems, and adopting it on modern many-cores has some drawbacks. The main issue stems from the fact that, due to constrained power and area budgets, most of modern embedded systems feature software-managed scratchpad memories instead of data caches, to increase data locality and fight the memory wall. This complicates programmers’ life, because now it’s their duty to explicitly manage the memory and orchestrate the data movements. Moreover, modern applications are increasing in complexity and must be manually parallelized before they can exploit the hundreds/thousands available processing units, translating their potential into actual performance. To this aim, several languages/extensions have been proposed, targeting different programming paradigms and architectures. They work at a high level of abstraction and, typically, basis services such as memory and thread management are provided by a runtime runtime library, which direcly interacts with the hardware/BSP, and whose cost potentially hinders performance. Minimizing this overhead is crucial, especially in the domain of embedded systems, where resources (such as the memory) and power budget are constrained. In this dissertation, I explore the applicability of the shared-memory paradigm on modern many-core systems, especially focusing on the ease-of-programming. I will mainly focus on OpenMP, which is the de-facto standard for shared memory programming. In a first part, the cost of low level services such as synchronization and data partitioning are analyzed, and new mechanism and algorithm are proposed for implementing them on embedded many-cores. Then, I introduce the original design of an OpenMP runtime library, which supports complex forms of parallelism such as multilevel (or nested) and task-based parallelism. In the second part of the thesis, the focus is on heterogeneous systems. This is a quite recent design trend, which considers platforms where hardware accelerators are coupled to (many-)cores to implement key functional kernels with orders-of-magnitude of speedup and energy efficientcy compared to the “pure software” version. Communication beween cores and accelerators is crucial to achieving performance, and again it is implemented through the shared memory system. Starting from this, a template for a generic hardware processing unit (HWPU) is proposed, which can be specified for a given application or kernel, and an heterogeneous architecture which integrates HWPUs and many-cores is shown. Once the generic platform template and communication “contract” were fixed, a full software stack and toolchain have been developed to support the design process and to let programmers exploiting the accelerators of the platform. Low-level details such as data movements and synchronization are hidden to programmer, and silently performed by a lightweight runtime library. A simple OpenMP-based API is provided to interact with the runtime, with a modified GCC compiler to support it: this greatly simplifies programmer’s life. Two orthogonal approaches are presented: from one side (top-down) we aim at supporting the design of the platform with a set of tools that automate it as much as possible; from the other perspective (bottom-up), programmer is provided with lightweight language extensions to develop code that transparently inspect the platform and exploits the – possibly existing – accelerators, or resorts to the software version of the kernels if they are not available
Dans la dernière décennie, en particuliers depuis l’avènement des Smartphones et des tablettes numériques, les systèmes embarqués ont adoptés des architectures « many-cores » pour répondre à la demande en hautes performances à faible cout énergétique. Le paradigme de la communication par mémoire partagée est une solution prometteuse pour faciliter la programmation de ces plateformes. Toutefois, ce modèle vient des architectures mutli-cœurs et son adoption dans les architectures « many-cores » a certains inconvénients. Le principal problème vient du fait que, eu égard aux contraintes d’énergie et de surface, la plupart des systèmes embarqués modernes intègrent, afin d’améliorer la localité des données et ainsi se battre contre le mur de mémoire (memory wall), des mémoires de type « scratchpad » gérée par le logiciel plutôt que des mémoires caches. Cette solution complique la vie des programmeurs puisqu’il leur est maintenant demandé de gérer explicitement la mémoire et d’orchestrer les mouvements de données. De plus, les applications modernes sont de plus en plus complexes et doivent être manuellement parallélisées afin de pouvoir exploiter au mieux les centaines voire les milliers d’unités de traitement accessibles et rendre ainsi leurs performances potentielles bien réelles. Pour cela, plusieurs langages ou extensions de haut niveau ont été proposés chacun ciblant un modèle de programmation ou un type d’architecture particulier. Typiquement les services de base associés tels que la gestion de la mémoire ou des tâches sont fournis par une bibliothèque d’exécution qui interagit directement avec le matériel mais dont la latence peut limiter la performance. La minimisation de ce surcout est particulièrement cruciale dans le domaine des systèmes embarqués pour lesquels le nombre de ressources (telle que la mémoire) et le budget énergétique sont limités. Dans ce document, l’applicabilité du paradigme de programmation par mémoire partagée dans le contexte des systèmes « many-cores » et en particulier sa facilité de mise en œuvre sont explorés. Les travaux ciblent principalement OpenMP qui est un standard de facto pour la programmation par mémoire partagée. Dans une première partie, les coûts des services de bas niveau tels que la synchronisation ou le partitionnement des données sont analysés et de nouveaux mécanismes et algorithmes pour les mettre en œuvre sont proposés. Ensuite, une bibliothèque d’exécution OpenMP qui a été conçue pour supporter des formes complexes de parallélisme telles que le multi-niveau (ou imbriqué) ou le parallélisme de niveau tâche est présentée. Dans une deuxième partie, les systèmes hétérogènes sont particulièrement ciblés. Ceci est une tendance de conception récente qui considère des plates-formes dans lesquelles les accélérateurs matériels non programmables sont couplés aux processeurs pour mettre en œuvre des noyaux fonctionnels et ainsi obtenir des performances temporelles supérieures de plusieurs ordre de magnitude comparées à des solutions purement logicielles. La communication entre les processeurs et les accélérateurs, qui est un élément cruciale pour atteindre de hautes performances, est ici encore mise en œuvre au travers d’un système de mémoire partagée. Dans ce contexte un modèle d’architecture incluant une interface de communication est défini pour les accélérateurs matériels et un modèle de plateforme permettant d’intégrer ces accélérateurs est proposé. De plus, un outil de CAO ainsi qu’une pile logicielle complète ont été développés pour supporter le processus de conception et permettre au concepteur d’exploiter aisément les accélérateurs au sein de la plateforme. Les détails de bas niveau tels que les mouvements de données ou la synchronisation sont masqués au programmeur et réalisés de façon transparente par la bibliothèque d’exécution que nous proposons. Une interface de programmation basée sur OpenMP permettant d’interagir avec le moteur d’exécution ainsi qu’une version modifiée du compilateur GCC sont fournis. Deux approches de conception sont proposées dans le cadre de ces travaux : (1) une approche descendante, facilitant la conception de plates-formes via un ensemble d’outils logiciels ; (2) une approche montante, pour laquelle nous proposons d’étendre le formalisme OpenMP afin de masquer à l’utilisateur la mécanique de gestion de la mémoire lorsqu’il utilise des accélérateurs matériels et pour avoir recours à une exécution purement logicielle lorsque les accélérateurs ne sont pas disponibles

Résumé :

Cette thèse a pour objet d’étude le cinéma d’Amérique centrale depuis l’émergence des cinémas « nationaux » dans les années 1970 jusqu’à une nouvelle émersion du cinéma régional dans les années 2000. Elle part du constat que les cinématographies centraméricaines se sont forgées dans une démarche de lutte régionale qui a permis l’union de forces humaines, de moyens économiques et de savoir faire qui, ensemble, ont donné lieu aux cinématographies nationales. À partir des théories des rapports entre l’Histoire et le cinéma de Siegfried Kracauer et Marc Ferro, nos présupposés théoriques reposent sur l’idée que le cinéma et les films entretiennent un rapport direct et privilégié avec l’Histoire et la société qui les ont produits, autant pour ce qui est de la forme que du contenu des films. Cette thèse propose ainsi une étude comparative qui met en relation l’ensemble des cinémas nationaux et leur rapport à l’Histoire, la culture et la société de la région centraméricaine. Nos recherches visent à proposer une lecture critique pouvant interpréter les caractéristiques de la cinématographie d’Amérique centrale, depuis un angle régional. Par ce procédé, nous analysons la façon dont les cinéastes ont abordé ces problématiques selon des moyens techniques et esthétiques particuliers qui seraient strictement liés aux contextes sociohistoriques et économiques de leur temps. Cette thèse expose ainsi l’étude de l’évolution de ces thématiques et présente les résultats d’un travail inédit de recherche à travers la systématisation et la classification des films centraméricains. L’objectif était de décrypter les empreintes de processus sociopolitiques et historiques vécus par l’Amérique centrale contemporaine pour brosser le portrait du cinéma encore méconnu et de ses caractéristiques les plus représentatives. Nous espérons que ce travail contribue à combler un vide en matière d’études sur les cinémas centraméricains et qu’il puisse démontrer la valeur du cinéma comme mémoire collective et comme patrimoine de la région centraméricaine
This dissertation focuses on the study of Central American filmmaking from the inception of a form of “national” cinema in the 1970s up until a new emergence of a regional cinema in the 2000s. The analysis is based on the observation that Central American cinematography was forged out of a regional struggle that led to the coming together of human forces, economic means and know-how which, once united, gave birth to the different national film industries. Starting from the theories of Siegfried Kracauer and Marc Ferro on the links between history and film, our theoretical framework rests on the idea that filmmaking and the movies produced hold a direct and privileged link with history and the societies that produce the films, as regards to both their form as well as their content. This dissertation thus proposes a comparative study that examines the group of national film industries in connection with the history, culture and society of the Central American region. Our research aims to propose a critical reading of Central American cinematography, interpreting its characteristics from a regional perspective. Through this approach, we will analyze the way that the filmmakers have taken on these issues according to the particular technical and esthetic means that are strictly linked to the economic and socio-historical contexts of the time period. The dissertation thus delves into the evolution of these themes and presents the results of an unparalleled study achieved through the systematization and classification of the Central American films involved in the study. The objective has been to decipher the traces of the historical and socio-political processes experienced by contemporary Central America in order to paint a portrait of Central American filmmaking along with its most representative characteristics. We hope that this work will contribute to filling in certain academic gaps regarding Central American cinematography and that it will be able to demonstrate the value of film as a source of collective memory and patrimony of the Central American region

Résumé :

This thesis aims at providing a cross-cultural study of how football museums represent and construct identities, both collective and personal. The research is based on a multi-sited ethnography at selected football museums in the UK, Germany, and China, employing participant observation, photographic recording and online research methods. This investigation sharpens an anthropological awareness of constructions of multiple layered identities by examining football museums' exhibiting practices and activity programmes, as well as their built environments and cultural settings. The research also offers a perspective on museum visitors, who consume football museums with diverse personal and collective identity claims. Looking into the largely under-explored terrain of football museums, this research joins continuing anthropological efforts to understand identity work while also exploring continuing tensions inherent in a marriage between museums and football. The thesis contributes to the research field of football/sports museums with an ethnographic emphasis and a cross-cultural range.

Résumé :

Dans une époque qui manifeste une exacerbation de la représentation de soi (àtravers les réseaux sociaux notamment), notre objet d'étude propose uneréflexion sur la mémoire et la reconstruction d'histoires dans les pratiquesartistiques. Utilisant comme point de départ une production photographiquepersonnelle (Reprises), nous proposons une articulation entre théorie etcréation, dans une dialectique qui part de l'analyse des oeuvres personnelles,pour établir un dialogue avec des théoriciens et des oeuvres contemporainestraitant ces problématiques. Dans ce type de démarches rétrospectives quiréinterprètent le passé, les artistes travaillent à partir des traces matérielles etmnésiques, telles les images d'albums de famille, les archives, les documents oules témoignages. Mêlant des univers esthétiques différents dans une nouvelleunité, ils font coexister leurs propres images avec des sources existantes, des viesdisparues avec leurs propres existences. Leurs oeuvres deviennent alors unerecréation artistique et postulent un espace narratif singulier qui évoque unepoétique de la mémoire. Partielles et fragmentaires, elles donnent à voir unrécit reconfiguré par l'imaginaire et le montage. Elles dépassent le champstrictement photographique et ouvrent leur langage au dialogue avec les autresarts, prenant la forme d'oeuvres hybrides. Quelle relation établir entre mémoire,reconstruction et identité, entre histoire individuelle et histoire collective ? Si lepassé est métamorphosé, comment le reconstruire ?
In a time of exacerbation of the self-representation (through the socialnetworks, among other things), our subject of study proposes a reflection onmemory and the reconstruction of histories in the artistic practices. Using as astarting point a personal photographical work (Reprises), we propose a linkbetween theory and creation, in a dialectic that starts from the analysis ofpersonal works, to establish a dialogue with theorists and contemporaryartworks dealing with these issues. In this kind of retrospective approaches thatreinterpret the past, the artists work from the material and memory traces, suchas the images of family albums, archives, documents, or testimonies. Mixingdifferent esthetical universes in a new unity, they make coexist their ownimages with existing sources, disappeared lives with their own existences. Theirworks thus become a artistic re-creation and postulate a special narrative spacewhich evokes a poetics of the memory. Partial and fragmentary, they show anarrative reconfigured by the imaginary and the editing. They exceed thestrictly photographical field and open their language to the dialogue with otherarts, taking the form of hybrid artworks. What relation can be set betweenmemory, reconstruction and identity, between individual and collectivehistory ? If the past is being transformed, how to rebuild it ?
