Résumé :

Questa tesi fa uno studio dei contatti tra alcuni funzionari letterati cinesi ed i gesuiti, ed anche l'influenza che la rete sociale dei funzionari letterati cinesi ha esercitato sui loro contatti con i gesuiti nella tarda Dinastia Ming. Per quanto riguarda la rete sociale dei funzionari letterati cinesi, ci sono tre categorie importanti di relazioni interpersonali che hanno ricevuto una particolare attenzione, loro sono: tongnian (同年, laureati dell’esame imperiale nello stesso anno), shisheng (师生, maestro e discepolo) e tongxiang (同乡, concittadini). Tutte queste tre categorie di relazioni interpersonali sono state derivate da, o almeno in qualche modo collegate agli esami imperiali (keju, 科举), il legame di base da cui provenivano la maggior parte delle relazioni sociali dei funzionari letterati cinesi. Per le figure di ricerca specifiche, la tesi tratta cinque Metropolitan Graduates nelle due sessioni consecutive dell'anno 1589 e 1592, i.e. Li Rihua (李日华, 1565-1635), Xie Zhaozhe (谢肇淛, 1567-1624), Feng Yingjing (冯应京, 1555-1606), Cao Yubian (曹于汴, 1558-1634) e Jiao Hong (焦竑, 1540-1619) poiché rappresentavano quattro diversi tipi di atteggiamenti nei confronti dei gesuiti e della religione e la cultura occidentali, nel frattempo, nella loro rete sociale che ha svolto un ruolo importante nell’influenzare i loro atteggiamenti verso gli studi occidentali, tutte le tre categorie di relazioni interpersonali tongnian, shisheng e tongxiang contano molto. Anche se le relazioni interpersonali dei cinque Metropolitan Graduates menzionati sopra sembravano essere indipendenti l'una dall'altra, infatti, potevano essere collegate con una rete sociale più grande, che contiene gli altri tongnian i quali appartenevano alle stesse sessioni di 1589 e 1592 ed alcuni letterati che avevano frequenti e stretti contatti con i Metropolitan Graduates di queste due sessioni. Tutte le figure, direttamente o indirettamente, avevano collegamenti tra loro principalmente attraverso le relazioni interpersonali di tongnian, shisheng e tongxiang, formando così il complesso organico. Questo tipo di rete interpersonale ufficiale nella tarda Dinastia Ming rappresentato dal gruppo di Metropolitan Graduates di 1589 e 1592 ha portato sia opportunità che sfide alla diffusione del cattolicesimo e degli altri studi occidentali in Cina: i funzionari letterati cinesi che avevano atteggiamenti positivi avrebbero influenzato gli altri nella loro rete interpersonale e vice versa. Di conseguenza, studiare i contatti tra i funzionari letterati cinesi ed i gesuiti, specialmente in base alla rete interpersonale, aiuterà senza dubbio a comprendere meglio la comunicazione culturale tra la Cina e l’Occidente durante le dinastie Ming e Qing, fornendo ulteriormente un significato di riferimento agli scambi culturali di oggi tra le due parti.
This dissertation makes a study of the contacts between a few Chinese literati and Jesuits as well as the influence that Chinese literati’s social network exerted through their contacts with Jesuits in the late Ming Dynasty. About the Chinese literati’s social network, three important types of interpersonal relationships have been paid special attention to, which are: tongnian (同年, graduates of the imperial examination in the same year), shisheng (师生, master and disciple) and tongxiang (同乡, fellow townsmen). All these three types of interpersonal relationships were generated from, or at least somewhat related to the imperial examinations (keju, 科举), the basic link from which most of the Chinese intellectuals’ social relationships came from. As for the specific research figures, the dissertation deals with five Metropolitan Graduates in the two consecutive sessions of the year 1589 and 1592, i.e. Li Rihua (李日华, 1565-1635), Xie Zhaozhe (谢肇淛, 1567-1624), Feng Yingjing (冯应京, 1555-1606), Cao Yubian (曹于汴, 1558-1634) and Jiao Hong (焦竑, 1540-1619) since they represented four different types of attitudes towards Jesuits and western religion and culture, in the meantime, in their social network which played an important role in affecting their attitudes towards western learnings, all of the three types of interpersonal relationships tongnian, shisheng and tongxiang count a lot. Although the interpersonal relationships of the above five Metropolitan Graduates seemed to be independent of each other, in fact, they could be connected into a larger social network, which contains several other tongnian who belonged to the same sessions of 1589 and 1592 as well as some other literati who had frequent and close contacts with the Metropolitan Graduates of these two sessions. All the figures, directly or indirectly, had connections with each other mainly through the interpersonal relationships of tongnian, shisheng and tongxiang, thus forming an organic whole. This kind of officialdom interpersonal network in late Ming Dynasty represented by the group of Metropolitan Graduates in 1589 and 1592 brought both opportunities and challenges to the spread of Catholicism and other western learnings in China: those scholar-officials who held positive attitudes would influence the others in their interpersonal network and vice versa. Therefore, studying the contacts between Chinese scholar-officials and Jesuits especially under the framework of the former’s interpersonal network will definitely help understand better the cultural communication between China and the West during late Ming and early Qing dynasties, hence further provide reference significance for today's cultural exchanges between the two sides.

Résumé :

This research deals with Christian missions and African cultures. It focuses on the traditional social associations of the Nso’ people of Cameroon. The main problem the research addresses is that missionaries who came to Nso’ mostly imposed their culture on the Nso’ and by extension Africa in the name of Christianity. What this research refers to as traditional social associations is what the missionaries prejudicially termed secret societies. The research argues that these traditional social associations are not secret societies. They are rather custodians and preservers of Nso’ culture. Their activities are largely social, and revolve around eating and drinking. The research compares the case of Nso’ with missionary endeavours in North Africa: Egypt, Axum and Nubia and in Sub-Saharan Africa. In all these areas, the following commonalities are found: insufficient interest in the indigenous languages, syncretism, the tendency of mission to always link with colonialism and to despise the African worldview. In all these areas, the result was conflict between mission and indigenous culture, and conflict within the traditional cultures. In order to appropriately engage contexts in Africa that have traditional social associations like Nso’, the researcher proposes the use of an integrated missional approach. By integrated missional approach the researcher means a perspective that takes theology, anthropology, sociology and culture seriously when carrying out the mission of God (missio Dei). The researcher presents an integrated missional approach that is constructed in the light of contextualisation. This approach is based on Niebuhr’s typology that is described in his book Christ and culture and as analysed by Kraft in his Anthropology for Christian witness. The following sociological theories: functionalism, conflict theory, phenomenology and social identity theory are used to discuss how certain realities operate in human communities. Using content analysis as his predominant methodological approach to the data collected, the researcher concludes that culture has been, is, and will continue to be the main vehicle for mission. Hence, the traditional social associations of the Nso’ people, which form the core culture of Nso’ need to be seen as an opportunity for evangelisation. The research shows that the missionary era in Nso’ in particular and Africa in general has ended and that the era in which the local church is finding its own identity is underway.

Résumé :

Cette recherche est construite en deux parties. La première intitulée « L’accompagnement dans un contexte de crise persistant », précise l’évolution sociologique de la jeunesse et les conditions de mise en place d’une structure destinée à son insertion sociale et professionnelle. La deuxième partie, nommée : « Prise en charge du parcours d’accompagnement des jeunes par les conseillers de la Mission Locale de Paris » expose des situations d’accompagnement et montre la manière dont les conseillers (CISP) utilisent les dispositifs de la Mission Locale pour insérer socialement et professionnellement des bénéficiaires aux profils très variés. Elle montre aussi que le métier de CISP nécessite une expertise et des compétences particulières. Cependant, bien que leurs freins à l’insertion professionnelle soient réduits ou effacés, certaines personnes n’accèdent pas à l’emploi. Selon les CISP, les bénéficiaires rencontrent beaucoup de difficultés dans leur parcours d’insertion, dont la discrimination. Il nous a semblé important de traiter cette question dans la troisième partie intitulée : « Le Conseiller en insertion sociale et professionnelle face à la discrimination : Quel accompagnement ?». L’objet de cette recherche est de montrer que le parcours d’accompagnement des jeunes en insertion sociale et professionnelle se fait grâce à des programmes spécifiques, un lieu dédié – la mission locale – avec l’aide d’un professionnel capable de le réaliser – le conseiller. Construire l’insertion des jeunes comme fait social au travers de l’accompagnement, c’est entrer dans un champ d’analyse qui demande la mobilisation d’un cadre théorique se situant au croisement de la sociologie de la jeunesse, de la sociologie des politiques publiques, de la sociologie des groupes professionnels, de la sociologie des organisations, de la sociologie de l’expertise et de la sociologie des discriminations. Cette conception théorique éclaire et ordonne la réalité en faisant émerger les questions pertinentes assurant une compréhension précise du phénomène. Ce n’est pas une thèse de science administrative ou juridique mais bien de sciences humaines et précisément de sociologie, qui permet de dégager autant que faire se peut un savoir sur le mode d’accompagnement d’insertion actif, intégrateur de jeunes dans la société et le monde du travail dans une période de crise persistante
This research is built in two parts. The first, entitled "Support in a context of persistent crisis", specifies the sociological evolution of young people and the conditions for setting up a structure intended for their social and professional integration. The second part, named: "Taking charge of the support process for young people by the advisers of the Mission Locale de Paris" describes support situations and shows how the advisers (CISP) use the devices of the Local Mission to integrate socially and professionally beneficiaries with very varied profiles. It also shows that the profession of CISP requires specific expertise and skills. However, although their barriers to employability have been reduced or eliminated, some people do not gain access to employment. According to the CISP, the beneficiaries encounter many difficulties in their integration process, including discrimination. It seemed important to us to deal with this question in the third part entitled: "The Counselor on social and professional integration in the face of discrimination: What support?". The purpose of this research is to show that the path of support for young people in social and professional integration is done through specific programs, a dedicated place - the local mission - with the help of a professional capable of carrying it out. - the counselor. Building the integration of young people as a social fact through support means entering a field of analysis that requires the mobilization of a theoretical framework situated at the crossroads of the sociology of youth, the sociology of public policies, the sociology of professional groups, the sociology of organizations, the sociology of expertise and the sociology of discrimination. This theoretical conception clarifies and organizes reality by bringing out the relevant questions ensuring a precise understanding of the phenomenon. It is not a thesis in administrative or legal science but rather in human sciences and specifically in sociology, which allows us to identify as much as possible a knowledge of the mode of support for active integration, integrating young people into society. and the world of work in a period of persistent crisis

Texte intégral

Résumé :

In this thesis the figure of the colonial Christian missionary is put forward as a translator - in terms of both interlingual translation (translation proper) and a more metaphorical and intercultural translation process (mission-translation). It takes the example of SMEP (Société des Missions Évangéliques de Paris) missionary, François Coillard (1834-1904), his wife, Christina, and indigenous missionaries such as Asser Sehahabane and Aaron Mayoro, and posits these historical individuals and their translation practices as sources which shed new light on current understandings of the nature of translation and the ontology of the translator. Through the discussion of the famous French protestant missionary, it deconstructs the (in)visibility binary in translation studies as well as the singularity of the translator, and puts forward a spectral collaborative translator-presence. From this point on, the thesis demonstrates that translation proper is an incarnational, bodily act which goes far beyond ink on a page. As it considers François’ wife, Christina Coillard née Mackintosh, and other female missionaries, it re-evaluates the site of the domestic as vital in translation, posits hospitality as a multidirectional facet of translation, and completion as the goal of translation. Indigenous missionary involvement then reveals translation to be made up of relationships of trust and of multiple movements. And Coillard’s photographs, seen as and in translation, demonstrate the many layers of context and significance at work in translation. Whilst colonial missionaries are overlooked translator-figures in studies of missiology, colonial history, and translation, in this thesis, a closer look at mission-translation reveals that these individuals are significant sources for the expansion of notions of both mission and translation.

Este estudo é uma amostra de investigação de gênero como prática social. Teoricamente, baseia-se na análise tridimensional de um evento discursivo: o texto, a prática discursiva e a prática social (Fairclough, 1994). O objetivo deste estudo é discutir como as Missões são usadas pelas organizações ou instituições para estabelecer suas metas e planos estratégicos. A articulação destas metas e planos orienta as experiências dos participantes e estabelece papéis sociais. Desta forma, as Missões agem como portadoras de ideologias articuladas através de práticas discursivas nas quais conceitos e valores são compartilhados entre os participantes, refletindo e moldando as diferentes identidades sociais contemporâneas. Através de uma análise lingüística e crítica das Missões de Escolas de Línguas, pretendo enfocar questões sócio-políticas relacionadas às filosofias do Ensino de Línguas Estrangeiras como, por exemplo, a hipótese de que muitos discursos vinculados à globalização têm facilitado a expansão da língua inglesa e, esta expansão por sua vêz, tem facilitado a proliferação desses discursos (Pennycook, 1994). Portanto, além de mostrar evidências de que as Missões são um 'site' de ação social e ideológica, este estudo também pretende intensificar a reflexão e conscientização dos professores de línguas estrangeiras do modo como aspectos ideológicos ligados a valores sócio-econômicos são naturalmente articulados através da linguagem, particularmente através de gêneros textuais, dentro de contextos específicos.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Government social interventions hold considerable power over what choices and opportunities impoverished households have available to escape the oppressive socioeconomic trappings of poverty. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service's Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) is one such program. While there are many positive mission statements of social governance, this study focused on the regressive potential for oppressive institutional policies and practices. Theoretical frameworks guiding the study were Pierce's 1979 model of oppression and Crenshaw's 1989 intersectionality theory. The quantitative design's hypothesis and research question focused on whether significant relationships exist between LIHTC project placement and highest concentrations of six commonly recognized socioeconomically oppressive conditions, each separately defined by U.S. Census demographics and American Housing Survey (AHS) structured-interview data. Mann-Whitney U tests showed non-significant differences between the two source dataset's separate identification of socioeconomically oppressive conditions across Minnesota's Twin City metropolitan area. Spearman's rho and Cohen's standard show similarly significant results from both pairings of AHS and Census data with the LIHTC project database. Results support conclusions that LIHTC project placement most often maintains external socioeconomic oppressors in the lives of program residents. Implications for positive social change hinge on the realization that social interventions may not be entirely anti-oppressive. In such cases, these conclusions should lead policymakers to change or replace programs so that interventions are not an accessory to the subjugation of service users to oppressive circumstances.

Résumé :

The nonprofit sector is increasingly engaged in social enterprise, which involves a combination and balancing of social mission and business goals which can cause mission drift or mission tension. A work integrated social enterprise (WISE) is a specific type of social enterprise that focuses on integrating hard-to-employ individuals, such as ex offenders, back into the workforce, usually through producing goods or offering services. Little is known about how WISE organizations manage mission drift, particularly given the unique characteristics of this type of organization. Using institutional values theory and resource dependence theory as the foundation, the purpose of this case study was to explore how a WISE in Indiana experience and manage mission drift and mission tension. Data were collected from semistructured interviews with 4 board members and 4 staff persons, and from organizational documents. All data were inductively coded and subjected to a constant, comparative analysis between empirical and predictive themes. The study revealed the organization has not experienced mission drift or mission tension because, (a) there was a strong mission and a commitment by the board and staff to the mission, (b) there was a constant balancing act between mission and income, (c) business goals aligned with mission, and (d) operating systems were in place for mission sustainability. The positive social change implications stemming from this study include providing beneficial information about best practices and strategies to other organizations seeking to develop WISE programs that provide opportunities and training for difficult to employ populations.

Résumé :

I den här studien undersöks hur användningen av sociala medier ser ut, när socialt kommunikativa gymnasieungdomar med stor social tillhörighet, umgås. Studien ämnar ta reda på hur användningen ser ut, av vilka anledningar socialt kommunikativa ungdomar med social tillhörighet använder sociala medier och hur umgängesklimatet påverkas när sociala medier används under fysiskt pågående umgänge. Idén till studien grundar sig i en observation av ungdomar med ovan presenterade egenskaper, som under tiden de umgås med sina vänner frekvent använder sociala medier. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomförs med utgångspunkt i den medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga teorin Uses and gratification theory samt Social identity theory, som är en välanvänd teori bland tidigare genomförd forskning inom sociala medier. Fem djupintervjuer genomförs således och vid avkodning av intervjumaterialet utkristalliseras tre huvudspår, utifrån frågeställningarna och fem underkategorier: ”Hur använder socialt kommunikativa ungdomar, med social tillhörighet, sociala medier när de umgås med sina vänner?”, ”Av vilka anledningar använder kommunikativa ungdomar med social trygghet sociala medier?” med tillhörande underkategorier, identitetsskapande, Fear of missing out, brist på underhållning, sociala medier som tillflykt samt vanebeteende och slutligen ”Hur påverkas umgängesklimatet när sociala medier används?” Resultatet visar, bland annat, att ungdomarna ofta väljer att använda sociala medier för att ta paus och hämta ny energi för att sedan orka vara sociala, i det pågående umgänget, igen.

Résumé :

Thesis advisor: Eve Spangler
Social enterprises are nonprofit, for-profit or hybrid organizations that use business methods to create social change (Dees 2007; Light 2005; Martin and Osberg 2007; Neck, Brush, and Allen 2009;). If it succeeds, the social enterprise model could prove to be a viable pathway to greater social justice in an era of decreasing funding for government services and nonprofits (Emerson and Twersky 1996; Harding 2004; Murphy and Coombs 2009; Wilson 2008). However, skeptics worry that the perils of privatization, bottom-line thinking, and deceptive marketing potentially embodied by the “business methods” that social enterprises employ may undermine the potential of this new approach to solving social problems (Bateman and Chang 2012; Farmer 2009; Nega and Schneider 2014). The three articles that make up this dissertation examined the ways social entrepreneurs perceived and managed tensions between social mission and market institutional logics. Their ability (or lack thereof) to reconcile these contradictory imperatives could contribute to whether social enterprises ultimately succeed or fail as vehicles for positive social change. Social Entrepreneurs at the Crossroads: Four Approaches to Responding to Dual Institutional Logics suggests that the widely accepted characterization of social entrepreneurs as compassionate individuals motivated to address intractable social problems innovatively (Alvord, Brown and Letts 2004; Lehner and Germak 2014; Mair and Marti 2006; Miller, Grimes, McMullen and Vogus 2012) is simplistic. From in-depth interviews with twenty (inter)nationally recognized social entrepreneurs I derived four distinct categories: Disillusioned Dreamers, Social Capitalists, Do-Somethings, and Bridgebuilders. Half of these respondents did not perceive tensions between logics; another quarter did not wrestle with the tensions they perceived. Only the Bridgebuilders perceived tensions and then persisted in focusing on both logics and sets of actors to harness synergies. As a result, only Bridgebuilders offer a truly hybrid model for social mission work within the current economic context, whereas the others hew toward a single dominant logic. One Size Does Not Fit All: Legal Form and US WISEs focuses on work integration social enterprises (WISEs), organizations that address the chronic unemployment of marginalized populations. The data demonstrated that contrary to the expectation that WISEs would exemplify “contested” organizations (Besharov and Smith 2014), eight of the ten WISEs studied did not experience significant conflict between social mission and market logics. Rather, WISEs generally had one logic that dominated their operations: a market logic in for-profit WISEs and a social mission logic in nonprofit WISEs. Workers’ employability emerged as an important variable, with for-profit WISEs creating jobs for more employable populations and nonprofits offering job training and “wraparound” services to harder-to-employ populations. Only two WISEs experienced substantial tensions, when social entrepreneurs attempted to prioritize a job training/services mission within a for-profit form. This data demonstrates that a job creation approach aligns best with a for-profit WISE form and a job training/services approach to a nonprofit WISE form. However, neither form has succeeded in creating a system-transforming model that successfully combines revenue generation with a robust training/services/job creation mission. This suggests that breaking traditional nonprofit and for-profit patterns to deliver substantial market and social mission outcomes within a single organization is a significant challenge. Stakeholder Resistance to Social Enterprise Hybridity examines how social entrepreneurs perceive the support of key stakeholders in their attempts to balance competing social mission and market logics. Despite evidence of social interest in ethical capitalism, this data suggests that well-resourced stakeholders push social entrepreneurs to prioritize price, revenue generation, and measurement. This includes both traditional organizational stakeholders and hybrid-specific stakeholders. Customers and clients demanded low prices and high value. Donors demanded quantification and impact measurement. Investors expected market rate financial return. Finally, social enterprise gatekeeper organizations (fellowship granting bodies) were focused on the market logic characteristics of sustainability, scale, and entrepreneurial ability, pushing the field toward market logic modes of operating. Social entrepreneurs generally responded by acquiescing to pressure to emphasize a market logic in their interactions. Counter to current literature that suggests social entrepreneurs should problem-solve to avoid single logic dominance, social entrepreneurs generally allowed price, business strategy, competition and measurement to shape their interactions with stakeholders. Given the importance of stakeholder buy-in for organizational legitimacy, the field of social enterprise needs to find a way to create and capture stakeholder support for dual logics rather than depending on individual social entrepreneurs to withstand the push toward marketization. Overall, despite persistent efforts at creative solutions to social problems by some individuals, the research shows a strong undertow for social enterprises to adopt business logics and business models

Résumé :

This study’s focus is Jesus’ significant representation of the kingdom of God utilizable for mission today – a topic of importance for contemporary Christianity’s sustainable reaction to a globalizing world. Christianity should not have to be a spectator to globalization but one of its agents, one of the forces at work by extending interconnection between peoples, shared ideas and promoted social, political and cultural links. How should Christian churches conceive of their mission within the context of a globalizing world? It is remarkable that after two millennia of Jesus’ life, ‘mission in the kingdom of God’ is still of great importance for human life on earth. Indeed, contemporary secularists might not commend religion with the custody of such a fundamental burden of responsibility. Yet, considering the times we live in, a foundation of sustainable values for earth are inescapably important. Nevertheless, from what foundational values does Christianity draw to bear witness of the divine in a secular age? When considering all the factors mentioned, what foundational ethics and virtues of Christianity that we bear witness to are still believable in a secular age? The purpose of this study is not to provide a complete response to the question of mission of the church in a globalizing world, but to establish a framework within which answers may be sought. The study is informed from a variety of disciplines such as politics, cultural theory and politics, which are not the usual fields of New Testament Studies. Therefore, this study presents itself in five chapters informing one another. Chapter 1 addresses the issues that surface from current missional reaction and the broader implications that globalization has on changing social and institutional realities and the churches’ response to it. Chapter 2 identifies indispensable characteristics of the early twentieth century Social Gospel movement to implement those values as essential building blocks in globalized mission. In Chapter 3 investigates the potential use of Postcolonial Theory for categorizing postcolonial characteristics of marginalization, oppression, neo-imperialism and neocolonialism. Chapter 4 applies the outcomes of Chapter 1 through 3 with which Richard Horsley’s proposed perspective on Jesus’ mission in Roman Palestine as the ‘renewal of Israel’ is considered to discern about the first century world and the implications it has for the third millennium. The Christian faith, among others, has marginalizing practices derived from centuries old traditions and biased interpretations of Scripture. We see examples of it strewn over two millennia. Chapter 5 concludes this cursory study by summarizing the valuable and constructive characteristics in mission, globalization, postcolonial studies and the Social Gospel. These characteristics can inform the Christian faith in its responsibility of living, and letting others participate, through ‘mission’, in the kingdom of God. Because if we do not, what is still believable today about the significant life of Jesus?

O interesse pelos negócios de impacto social vem crescendo nas últimas décadas, tendo em vista que estes negócios representam uma fonte promissora de geração de valor social, econômico e financeiro. Entretanto, ao aliarem criação de valor social e sustentabilidade financeira, combinam elementos provenientes de lógicas institucionais diferentes, podendo enfrentar desafios inerentes a esta junção. Desta forma, a fim de que estes negócios obtenham êxito, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de um ecossistema de suporte robusto. Dentre os atores do ecossistema, destacam-se as aceleradoras, que visam apoiar o crescimento destes negócios, na fase inicial ou de expansão, exercendo, desta forma, um papel importante na construção e desenvolvimento das lógicas institucionais nestes negócios. Por consequência, influenciam a forma pela qual evitam mission drift, fenômeno que consiste no distanciamento do negócio da sua missão social. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo é analisar as estratégias utilizadas pelas aceleradoras para assegurar e monitorar que os negócios de impacto mantenham a lógica híbrida, alcançando o equilíbrio entre a criação de valor social e a sustentabilidade financeira, evitando mission drift. A fim de atingir o objetivo proposto, foi realizado um estudo de caso múltiplo, com quatro aceleradoras, que atuam com negócios de impacto social. Por meio da compreensão do papel que exercem na manutenção da lógica híbrida dos negócios impulsionados por elas, identificaram-se as fontes de mission drift, bem como as estratégias para evitar o fenômeno durante o programa de aceleração, contribuindo, desta forma, com o campo teórico e gerencial. As implicações teóricas do estudo consistem na identificação da influência que as aceleradoras exercem nos negócios de impacto impulsionados por elas, por meio das estratégias utilizadas para assegurar a manutenção da lógica híbrida, contribuindo tanto para o estudo das lógicas institucionais quanto do fenômeno mission drift. No que tange às contribuições gerenciais, fornece um conjunto de estratégias a serem utilizadas pelas aceleradoras, a fim de assegurar e monitorar a manutenção do equilíbrio entre a criação de valor social e a sustentabilidade financeira nos negócios que aceleram.
The interest by the social enterprises has been growing in recent decades, considering that these organizations represent a promising source for generating social, economic and financial value. However, as they ally social value creation and financial sustainability, they combine elements from different institutional logics and may face challenges inherent to this combination. In this way, in order that these organizations achieve success, it is necessary to develop a robust support ecosystem. Among the actors of the ecosystem, the accelerators stand out. They aim to support the growth of social enterprises at an early stage or an expansion stage, exercising, in this way, an important role in the construction and development of institutional logics in these organizations. Consequently, they influence the way in which them avoid mission drift, a phenomenon that consists in the detachment of a business from its social mission. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze the strategies used by the accelerators to ensure and to monitor that the social enterprises maintain the hybrid logic, achieving the balance between the creation of social value and financial sustainability, avoiding mission drift. In order to achieve the proposed objective, it was conducted a multiple case study, with four accelerators, working with social enterprises. The sources of mission drift, as well as the strategies to avoid the phenomenon during the acceleration were identified through the understanding of the role that the accelerators exercise in maintaining the hybrid business logic in the business fueled by them, contributing, in this way, with the theoretical and managerial field. The theoretical implications of the study consist in the identification of the influence that the accelerators exert over the social enterprises boosted by them, through the strategies used to ensure the maintenance of the hybrid logic, contributing to the study of institutional logics as well as to the phenomenon of mission drift. Regarding the managerial contributions, the study provides a set of strategies to be used by the accelerators, in order to ensure and monitor the maintenance of the balance between the creation of social value and the financial sustainability in the business accelerated by them.

Résumé :

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 214-224).
The broad theoretical concern of the thesis is to examine an ambivalent dimension in the formation of social identities in which similarities in attributes and symbolic representations can become the source of conflict when they appear to have been appropriated and alienated. In studies of the role of ethnicity in the creation and reinforcement of social identity there is very often the assumption that social cohesion arises from similarity and that actual or perceived differences lead people to identify one another as members of opposing ethnic groups. I have suggested, however, that differentiation arises from the claims that are made to this distinctiveness, and that disputes over cultural commonalities or shared ethnic symbolism actually serve to sustain ethnic boundaries in situations where powerful external forces are at work in promoting integration. I have used Tambiah's theoretical model for the investigation of ethnic identity to structure a series of case studies drawn from a community study of Pella, a communal area with a Roman Catholic mission station, and studies of other former Coloured and Nama Reserves associated with Christian missions in the Lower Orange River Basin of Namaqualand. A distinctive historical feature of this region is a general trend towards social integration as opposed to the separation found in other parts of southern Africa. In the case studies that make up the body of the thesis I have presented the sociality of the community at Pella from three perspectives, socio- political, religious and material cultural, to show the complex ways in which ethnicity has operated over time in the formation of social identities. Setting the colonial and post-colonial encounters in Gramsci's notion of hegemony as involving asymmetrical class relations and cultural imperialism, I argue that the ongoing role of the universalist Christian churches in shaping patterns of identity has to be understood in terms of their commitment to what has come to be called "inculturation" as a way of indigenizing their versions of Christianity in Africa and throughout the world. In addressing the questions of coercion and resistance, hegemony and accommodation, localization and revitalization, and the role of missions in identity politics, I contend that the concept of "inculturation" is vital to an understanding of oppositional responses to globalization, as these are expressed in cultural and ethnic terms at local level through a politics of similarity as a form of everyday resistance to the coercive and hegemonic forces of globalization. The thesis is thus a contribution to a wider debate in anthropology on role of ethnicity in cultural transformation and continuity in the context of the gathering crisis of the nation-state and the ongoing revolutionary reconstruction of the contemporary world order.

Résumé :

Detta examensarbete har haft som syfte att undersöka hur historielärare tolkar och undervisar i skolans demokratiuppdrag med fokus på de demokratiska värderingar som ska utvecklas. Genom en intervjustudie med tre historielärare undersöker vi enligt våra frågeställningar hur lärarna tolkar uppdraget och hur de uttalat anser sig arbeta med det (explicit arbete). Genom tre lektionsobservationer undersöker vi även hur lärarna arbetar med uppdraget outtalat eller omedvetet (implicit) baserat på teorier om hur demokratiska värderingar kan utvecklas genom historiemedvetande och historisk empati i historieundervisningen. I observationerna tittar vi då efter aktiviteter och stoff som låter eleverna resonera kring historiska aktörer, deras val och handlingar samt bakgrund till och konsekvenser av dessa. Vi undersöker också om aktörernas levnadsvillkor diskuteras och om jämförelser mellan dåtid, nutid och framtid görs för att utveckla ett historiemedvetande som, enligt de teoretiker vi lutar oss mot anser är väsentligt för att utveckla den historiska empatin. Den historiska empatin är sedan i sin tur grundläggande för att demokratiska värderingar ska kunna utvecklas.Studiens resultat visar att alla de lärare vi intervjuat kopplar demokratiuppdraget till praktiska demokratiska färdigheter samt kunskapen om demokrati, men ingen av lärarna tar upp utvecklingen av värderingar. Trots att ingen av lärarna tar upp de demokratiska värderingarna som en del av demokratiuppdraget i intervjun kan vi se att samtliga ägnar lektionstid åt att diskutera aktörers val och handlingar i förhållande till deras levnadsvillkor. Enligt våra teorier är det en indikation på att lärarna anser sig arbeta med demokratiuppdragets praktiska och teoretiska del, men att de omedvetet även arbetar med värderingar i historieundervisningen.

Résumé :

Critics argue that there has been a trend among Microfinance Institutions (MFI) to focus on profitability in order to stay financially sustainable. This made some institutions neglect the social mission of microfinancing. In this paper I intend to examine if empirical evidence supports this so called mission drift hypothesis as well as other claims in this context. Using the global panel data set of the MIX (Microfinance Information Exchange), which gathers from 1995 to 2010 and contains up to 1400 institutions with a high variety of organizational forms, I was able to identify a world-wide mission drift effect in their social goal of reaching out the poorest part of the population. Furthermore, I find that, on average, the outreach of an MFI has a significant negative influence on its short and long term financial performance. Despite that, I eventually proved that the probability that an MFI worsens its social performance substantially increases if its profitability has decreased in the previous years.
Das Konzept der Mikrofinanzierung wurde, insbesondere im Zuge der Mikrofinanzkrisen in Asien und Südamerika zunehmend kritisiert. Dabei stand vor allem die Kommerzialisierung der Branche im Zentrum der Kritik. In dieser Studie soll daher unter anderem die sogenannte „Mission Drifts”-These also dass das eigentliche Ziel des Mikrokreditwesen aus den Augen verloren wurde, empirisch überprüft werden. Mit Hilfe des Microfinance Information Exchange (MIX) Datensatzes, wurden Paneldaten von bis zu 1.400 Kreditinstitutionen, mit unterschiedlichen (Rechts-)formen, aus den Jahren 1995 bis 2010 ausgewertet. Die Regressionsanalyse hat gezeigt, dass Profitablität in der Tat einen negativen Einfluss auf das Ziel hat, möglichst arme Menschen zu erreichen. Auch der Trade-off zwischen der Reichweite von Mikrokrediten und kurzfristiger sowie langfristiger Profitabilität konnte nachgewiesen werden. Die Daten zeigten aber auch, dass Mikrofinanzinstitution dazu tendieren soziale Ziele zu vernachlässigen, wenn es im vergangenen Geschäftsjahr finanziell bergab ging.

Résumé :

In this case study, the author explores the nonprofit mission statement as a genre, its place within a genre ecology, and its communication through various genres. Theorizing the mission statement as a controlling and stabilizing force in a genre ecology, the author notes the potential of the mission statement to enact the genre function, "the authority a genre has even in the absence of its author. Noting the limitations of current genre ecology modeling (GEM), the author maps the genres, documents, and activities of a small community foundation using a revised form of GEM that more purposefully includes speech genres to map relationships; in this case study, the speech genres revealed how the mission statement is mediated through genres and activities. Further, observations and interviews revealed ideological conflicts of the organization's key stakeholders that resulted in clashes between key stakeholder values and the language of the nonprofit's mission (and other genres). Additionally, ideological consensus resulted in the addition of new organizational activities and genres, even though these activities are not in line with the language of the mission statement as written. Eventually, these activities become social facts, "ideas that the key stakeholders believe are in line with the mission when they are, in fact, in conflict with it. If these social facts are not re-aligned with the mission statement, new activities and genres are created and mediated by speech genres, potentially moving the organization further away from its purpose and goals. The author ultimately suggests a cycle of genre and activity production that will realign the social facts and the mission statement and encourage organizational leaders to return to the mission statement and change the language to reflect the organization's new reality.

Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is about the practical theological challenges faced by the AFM of SA Fountain of life congregation in the Winterveldt community. The Fountain of life congregation has minimal involvement in the community of Winterveldt, a community plagued by numerous life threatening plights. The congregation is in a survival mode after stagnating for a number of years and with serious challenges of declining or even facing possible extinction. This study's goal is to develop a practical theological theory, strategy and process which the AFM of SA Fountain of life congregation would be inspired to implement in order to contribute towards arresting theological, social, economical and moral degradation in the community of Winterveldt. The researcher employed a practical theological methodology and explored areas that are vital for the answering of the research problem, "What can be done in the Fountain of life congregation to maximize the participation of all members to serve the community of Winterveldt as well as the larger society?" It is hypothesized that Practical Theology will give the AFM of SA Fountain of life guidance and equip this faith community and its leaders theologically to consider their vocation, to develop a practical theological ecclesiology, a way to be the true, faithful and effective local church which is the salt and light of the world, including Winterveldt. The study explored the "world" in which Fountain of life finds itself, in terms of its contextual as well as the congregation's identity analysis. The normative aspects of being a missional church which covered the missional identity, empowerment and involvement of laity, and missional leadership were elaborated, while spiritual discernment with areas particular to Fountain of life received attention in the normative aspects of spiritual discernment. It is recommended that the identity of Fountain of life be grounded in the mission of the Trinitarian God (missio Dei of the Trinitarian God). The missionary identity and character of Fountain of life should be built and developed upon the eight dominant patterns found in a missional church. The researcher strongly encourages the Fountain of life congregation to employ the missional leadership strategies while engaging in a total involvement leadership style, which integrates high concern for getting the task completed and a high concern for good people relationship. The leadership of Fountain of life is further encouraged to use the suggested laity empowerment strategies in order to empower, develop, and involve the laity. Missional transformation can only succeed if the laity is empowered and committed to deal with new realities. Leadership is key in engaging the laity. The pastor and the leadership of Fountain of life must teach, educate, lead, and engage the congregation, and also partner with other communities of faith and organizations especially the South African Partnership for Missional Churches (SAPMC) to succeed. Fountain of life should practice missional praxis theology, a holistic theological model that describes the methodology for congregations to develop their own contextual ecclesiology within the parameters of God‘s overall design for the Church.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing handel oor die prakties-teologiese uitdagings van die Apostoliese Geloofsending (AGS) in Suid-Afrika se Fountain of life gemeente in Winterveldt (Tswane metropolitaanse area). Fountain of life het minimale invloed in die Winterveldt gemeenskap, 'n gemeenskap wat gebuk gaan onder baie ernstige sosiale probleme. Die gemeente is net besig om te oorleef, dit is stagnant en staar agteruitgang of algehele ondergang in die gesig. Die studie poog om teorie, strategie en ŉ proses te ontwikkel wat die Fountain of life gemeente in staat sal stel om ŉ bydrae te lewer om die algehele agteruitgang op teologiese, sosiale, ekonomiese en morele gebied, aan bande te lê en selfs om te keer. Die navorser gebruik ŉ prakties-teologiese benadering ter beantwoording van die navorsingsvraag: "Hoe kan die Fountain of life gemeente deelname van lidmate maksimaal benut sodat hulle Winterveldt en die groter gemeenskap kan bedien?" As die Fountain of life AGS gemeente die prakties-teologiese uitdagings wat die gemeenskap in die gesig staar, kan ondersoek en verstaan asook maniere vind om dit aan te spreek kan hulle die lot en swaarkry van die gemeenskap se mense help verlig. Die navorsing ondersoek die gemeente se bestaanswêreld, haar meer onmiddellike konteks asook haar identiteit. Wat is die normatiewe basis van ŉ missionale gemeente? Wat is die implikasies daarvan vir missionale identiteit? Hoe word lidmate bemagtig en hoe raak hulle betrokke? Wat behels missionale leierskap? Verder word baie klem geplaas op die normatiewe beginsels van geestelike onderskeidingsvermoë en wat dit in die praktyk vir die gemeente beteken. Die studie stel voor dat Fountain of life haar identiteit in die sending van die drie-enige God (missio Dei) leer vind. Die agt kenmerke van ŉ missionale gemeente behoort die identiteit van die gemeente te bepaal. Die navorser voel sterk dat die gemeente missionale leierskap strategieë moet implementeer. Dit behels volle oorgawe aan die taak sowel as ŉ volledige betrokkenheid by mense. Die gemeente se leierskap word aangemoedig om lidmate te bemagtig, te help om geestelik te ontwikkel en om in die kerk en gemeenskap betrokke te raak. Missionale transformasie kan alleen slaag as lidmate betrokke is, bemagtig is en bereid is om nuwe werklikhede te hanteer. Leierskap moet hiertoe verbind wees. Die plaaslike pastoor en die gemeente se leierskap moet lidmate toerus, voorgaan en betrokke kry. Hulle moet ook met ander geloofsgebaseerde organisasies netwerk, in die besonder die Suid-Afrikaanse Genootskap van Gestuurde Gemeentes. Fountain of life gemeente word opgeroep om missionaal en holisties teologie op ŉ praxis styl te beoefen sodat die gemeente ŉ eie kontekstuele ekklesiologie binne die koninkryk se parameters van die missio Dei kan ontdek.

Résumé :

Försvarsmaktsorganisationen har varit i förändring sedan försvarsbeslutet 2004, då Försvarsmakten gick från ett invasionsförsvars till ett rörligt insatsförsvar. Denna nya inriktning innebär att de svenska enheter skall kunna genomföra uppdrag långt ifrån den svenska kusten och infrastruktur, vilket kan medföra en del nya intressanta frågeställningar.

Ett exempel på en sådan frågeställning är om de svenska enheterna är lämpliga för sådana uppdrag då det gäller att ta hand om och transportera eventuella skadade ombord. Har sjukvårdsorganisationen och Försvarsmakten medel till att transportera och ge adekvat vård vid större krissituationer internationellt?

Uppsatsen syfte är att genom ett organisationsteoretiskt perspektiv undersöka hur Försvarsmaktens förmåga att ta hand om skadade vid internationella missioner ser ut, samt vilka brister i organisationen som kan påvisas.

Den metod som har använts är den deskriptiva metoden tillsammans med fallstudier. Det som har studerats är svenska reglementen, doktriner samt den utländska Nato doktrinen AJP 4-10. Fallstudierna har utgjorts av ML 01-02 samt ME 01. Maslows teori om säkerhetsbehov har hela tiden verkat som utgångspunkt vid presenterande av fakta samt assisterande för att besvara frågeställningarna.

Slutsatsen som har dragits är att svenska enheter inte är direkt anpassade för denna verksamhet. Avsaknaden av egen helikopter är en av orsakerna. En bristande organisation kan ge en försämrad stridsmoral, vilket kan resultera i förödande konsekvenser för hela fartyget.

The Swedish armed forces have been through a big reformation since the Parliamentary Resolution 2004. The Resolutions biggest statement was that the armed forces should change from a invasiondefence to a mobile armed force. This means that Swedish troops and ships are meant to operate far from the Swedish coast line and infrastructure; this can give many new interesting problems.

One of these problems is if the Swedish units are fit for the missions that they now are entitled to take part in. I particularly if they have the capability to take care of injured personal far from Swedish infrastructure.

Have the medical organisation and the armed forces the right means to give adequate medical treatment and transportation?

The methods that the writer has used to solve these questions have been the descriptive method combined whit fall studies on ML 01-02 and ME 01. The literature consists part of reglements, doctrines both Swedish and domestic, in particular the Nato doctrine AJP 4-10.

The conclusions that have been made are that the Swedish ships are not adjusted for this kind of missions, the abcens of the helicopter capability is one of the arguments for this. The effect of what this can mean for the soldier is a decreased will to fight, which can be drastic for the ship.

Résumé :

Microfinance is a development tool used to reduce poverty among extremely poor households. Impoverished households can access lines of credit through microfinance institutions (MFIs), in order to create a new business, smooth household consumption, fund medical emergencies, etc. Many authors postulate that MFIs are drifting from a welfarist to an institutionalist approach to lending. Using MIXMarket data on specific MFIs in 118 countries between 1995 and 2011, the average loan balance of these organizations will be regressed against measure of outreach and sustainability of these institutions by charter type through a series of four, fixed effects models. The main research question is: given that a positive, overall shift in average loan balance indicates an institutionalist shift in mission, how does this impact microfinance institutions and the demographics they target on the intensive and extensive margins? These analyses will test the theory that MFIs with larger average loan balances serve households closer to the subsistence poverty level, a manifestation of mission drift toward the institutionalist philosophy of lending. The phenomenon of mission drift directly impacts the outcomes of microfinance institutions and the target demographic of the organization. The results of this study indicate that the mission of these organizations is drifting toward the institutionalist philosophy of lending. With this general result, mission drift can be observed within both the internal and external margins of the microfinance industry, which influences the chosen target market, profit generated, and structure of MFIs, as determined by the mission of the organization.

Keech, Michael Daniel. « Social enterprise and the environmental mission : orchards in the United Kingdom and Germany ». Thesis, University of Southampton, 2014. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/365373/.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis explores how rural social enterprises (SEs) in England and Germany pursue their environmental objectives to conserve traditional orchards. Such valuable biospheres lose money, leading their owners to replace them with more profitable land uses. SEs in both countries strive to revive commercial incentives to maintain these cultural landscapes. Policy makers have invested high expectations in SE for tackling social exclusion and strengthening civic participation in the UK, and in relation to labour market reforms following German reunification. Academic interest in the social and commercial performance of SE is not matched by research into its environmental potentials. In England semi-structured interviews with 33 people examined SEs linked to estates of the National Trust. In Germany 18 people were interviewed within six social enterprises with varied structures including associative, co-operative or unlimited/limited liability. In all cases orchard products are sold to generate money to fund orchard conservation. Analysis was framed by the concepts of field theory and market co-ordination advocated by Jens Beckert. He argues that market actors must co-ordinate three ‘problems’ - value, competition and co-operation - to secure market stability. Observing reciprocal and dynamic relationships in the market ‘field’ between networks, institutions and cognition, reveals how markets are socially structured. The appropriation of Beckert’s theories aids SE study: firstly, the intervention of SEs clearly stimulates market dynamics; and secondly, SEs attempt to re-configure market stability in favour of improved environmental results. Analysis revealed that the National Trust’s efforts to market juice increases public engagement, but fails clearly to link juice sales and orchard conservation. The German networked market is a low-risk, low-turnover model that incentivises farmers to maintain orchards without changing market structures, thereby creating an alliance between market actors. Lastly, German market-building SEs use complex, risky operations to compete with conventional firms. Both German models produce positive environmental outcomes. Key challenges linked to using Beckert’s ideas are that market power is not sought by environmental SEs, which see profit as a means to an end, and that field theory is largely aspatial, and thus unable to fully explain local variations in the environmental performance of each model. Nevertheless, Beckert’s structure for observing market interventions offers potential for practitioners/policy makers concerned with multi-functional rural development.

Résumé :

Several Ontario communities face challenges requiring harnessing multisectorial partnerships to bring about community transformation. The church has the capacity to contribute to the community transformation needs of its community, but a particular denomination in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) appeared to be unaware of how to fulfil its social mission of community transformation. The purpose of this case study was to understand how members of the clergy perceived the lay leadership vacuum in the denomination and how these perceptions appear to inhibit the denomination's achievement of its social mission. The theoretical framework was Akingbola's strategic nonprofit human resource management theory. A qualitative case study was employed, using semistructured interviews of 10 clergy in the GTA. Data from the interviews were coded and categorized for thematic analysis and constant comparison. Findings indicated a lay leadership vacuum in the studied denomination. Participants concurred that the vacuum was influenced by the perceptions of the clergy, which inhibit the denomination's capacity to address the needs of the community. The results of this study could lead to positive social change through providing an understanding of the obstacles denominations and similar nonprofit organizations may need to overcome to effectively identify, nurture, and deploy their volunteers for the benefit of community transformation.

Résumé :

Résumé :

The purpose of writing Adverse Childhood Experiences and Transformational Leadership at The Bowery Mission was to develop an understanding of the relationship of between childhood trauma and leadership styles at that institution.

Chapter 1 begins by describing the Bowery Mission and its environs. It develops the association between the transformational leadership and the community then asks the question ‘what exactly is the tangible relationship?’ Then there is the introduction of the MLQ and CTQ.

Chapter 2 provides literature and foundation for researching childhood maltreatment and leadership. It develops how childhood maltreatment causes numerous physical, psychological and spiritual effects later in life. Subsequently there is documentation on the literature relating adverse childhood experiences to transformational leadership as well as a section on transformational leadership at non-profits like The Bowery Mission.

Chapter 3 sets forth the qualitative and quantitative research methodology utilized in approaching the question of statistical relationships between childhood adverse experiences and transformational leadership amongst the leaders at the Bowery Mission. It discusses how and where the interviews were performed and demographics that help round out each individual’s background.

Chapter 4 presents an analysis of data. Leaders are first analyzed individually and then as a group. Statistical data is presented depicting correlations between maltreatment and leadership style. There were no statistical correlations found between transformational behaviors and childhood maltreatments. A number of participants indicated that their poor experiences made them particularly suited to lead similarly hurting individuals.

Chapter 5 assesses the data. It concludes that transformation takes place despite the lack of statistical correlation. Further research might include a retest in six months with a larger participant group.

Résumé :

Master of Arts
Department of Communication Studies
Charles J. G. Griffin
The term and concept of identification is a familiar one. The modern communication scholar’s knowledge of the term identification is drawn more directly from the works of Kenneth Burke. In 1950 Kenneth Burke released his book “A Rhetoric of Motives” and from this Burke outlined his concept of identification. To Burke, identification is a rhetorical process that leads to persuasion, and the identification process encompasses all the traditional forms of rhetoric as a category of tools to establish identification within rhetorical discourse (Burke, 1950; Day, 1960). The concept of identification has been applied generously as the field of rhetoric has progressed. However, a minimal amount of research connecting identification and the rhetoric of social movements has been conducted. This is a problem, because social movements rely heavily on persuasion and influence to garner audience support, so a deeper investigation into identification and social movement rhetoric is warranted. In recent years the marriage equality movement has seen a rapid amount of success in establish same-sex marriage in a variety of states. What has changed that has allowed these movements to reach so much success so quickly? I believe the answer to this question lies in the rhetoric of these movements and their use of identification. This thesis asks an overarching question; “Does identification help to explain the success of a social movement?” Applying Burke’s concept of identification to two marriage equality movements, Minnesotans United for All Families and Fair Wisconsin, this thesis seeks to determine the role identification plays in a social movements success or failure. What this thesis finds is that identification is a vital component in determining a social movements overall success. Identification is a two-step process, where first identification strategies need to be present within a social movement’s rhetoric. For identification strategies to be effective not only must the strategies be present but also the audience must link these strategies with their subconscious and thereby include the movement as a part of his or her identity. In conducting this thesis critical implications are drawn in relation to identification theory, organizational recruitment and maintenance, as well as community building and engagement.

Résumé :

The rapid growth of Mexico's railway networks represented the crowning achievement of the Porfiriato--that is, the regime headed by Porfirio Diaz, who ruled between 1876 and 1911. Having succeeded in bringing the internal stability needed for the growth and development of the economy, government officials repeatedly used the railroad as a symbol to highlight the accomplishments of Porfirian modernization and to legitimate the regime that had shed its liberal ideals and grown increasingly authoritarian. Boosters emphasized the ability of the government's railway project to bring civilization, to promote national unity, to increase commerce, and, even to whiten the population. At the same time, opposition groups, although not opposed to railway development per se, objected to the national costs and social hardships that resulted from the railway boom. Opponents, many of whom played influential roles in the Revolution (1910), exploited the symbolic and rhetorical power of the railroad to underscore the more negative aspects of Porfirian modernization and to question the so-called universal truths that defined the regime's civilizing mission. This study offers a radically different interpretation of how Porfirio Diaz maintained control of the country, stressing the importance of his supporter's success at exploiting the iconic power of the railway--the ultimate symbol of material progress--in literature, art, and pageantry. It offers a unique perspective on the outbreak of the 1910 Revolution, arguing that opponents of the regime used the railway as a metaphor to highlight the failures of the government's modernizing and civilizing mission, ideas also disseminated among the population in a myriad of cultural expressions.

The concept of Mission on John R. W. Stott and C. René Padilla is a research that analyses the relation between the proclamation of the word and the social action as contextualized in the Gospel. This thesis, developed towards the granting of the Master s Degree in Sciences of Religion, belongs to the Religion, Society and Culture research field. The bibliography revision was the methodology used for the data collection. The question that guided the research was: what is the concept of world mission in J. Stott and integral mission in R. Padilla? Among the answers it was possible to compare the theology of J. Stott and R. Padilla. In the first chapter, the concept of world mission in the theology of J. Stott was presented. In the second chapter, the concept of integral mission in the theology of R. Padilla was presented as well. In the third chapter, through a comparison it has been demonstrated that J. Stott emphasizes the proclamation of the word by the church, leaving the social service action as a second matter, because his priority is the need of salvation of the sinner, through repentance and the acceptance of Jesus Christ as the savior. On the other hand, R. Padilla sets the proclamation of the word and the service through social action in a joint way and making them inseparable in order to achieve the announcement of the Kingdom of God in society.
No presente estudo sobre o tema Conceito de Missão em John R. W. Stott e C. René Padilla procurei analisar a relação entre proclamação da palavra e ação social contextualizada no Evangelho. Esta dissertação desenvolvida no Programa da Pós-Graduação em Ciências da Religião, pertence à linha de pesquisa Religião, Sociedade e Cultura . A metodologia adotada na coleta de dados foi de uma revisão bibliográfica. O questionamento que norteou a pesquisa foi: qual o conceito de missão mundial em J. Stott e de missão integral em R. Padilla? Com as respostas obtidas, foi realizado um comparativo entre a teologia de ambos. No primeiro capítulo foi apresentado o conceito de missão mundial na teologia de J. Stott. No segundo capítulo, foi apresentado o conceito de missão integral na teologia de R. Padilla. Já no capítulo três, foi realizado um comparativo no qual ficou demonstrado que J. Stott em sua teologia da missão mundial prioriza a proclamação da palavra pela igreja, deixando o serviço de ação social para segundo plano, ao priorizar a necessidade da salvação da alma do pecador que se arrepende, mediante a aceitação Jesus Cristo como seu salvador. Em contrapartida, R. Padilla em sua teologia da missão integral coloca a proclamação da palavra e a prestação de serviço mediante a ação social de forma conjunta e indissociável para concretizar o anúncio do Reino de Deus na sociedade.

Résumé :

El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar el “otro interno” indígena que construyeron los misioneros claretianos y carmelitas descalzos dentro del imaginario del proyecto nacional colombiano en el Urabá y el Chocó (Colombia) entre 1908 y 1952 con el fin de constatar que los intereses de los misioneros, en conjunción con las especificidades del territorio y de las poblaciones indígenas, condicionaron dicha construcción. Mediante el análisis de fuentes elaboradas por los propios religiosos en el devenir de su proyecto misional -revistas de propaganda misional, informes de misión, fotografías, películas, etc.- se ha querido, por un lado, caracterizar las poblaciones indígenas que poblaban los territorios de misión; señalar las especificidades del proyecto misional implementado por cada orden religiosa y analizar el proceso de formación misional de las órdenes de los claretianos y carmelitas descalzos; por otro, identificar y analizar las representaciones que construyeron las órdenes sobre ellos mismos, el territorio y los pueblos indígenas e indagar en las prácticas implementadas por ellos en el proceso de “civilización” de las comunidades indígenas. A través de esta exploración se ha podido constatar la estrecha relación que existió entre la implementación de un determinado proyecto misional y las especificidades territoriales, la idiosincrasia de las poblaciones indígenas del territorio y las propias características de los misioneros; que las distintas representaciones elaboradas por los religiosos de las poblaciones indígenas de los espacios de misión formaron parte de una estrategia para justificar sus logros o fracasos y, que a su vez, formaban parte de un proceso de formación identitaria de los propios misioneros ya que, para instituirse como autoridad moral en los territorios de misión debían justificar su posición mediante la construcción de un “nosotros” determinado que legitimase su superioridad frente a un “otro”, los indígenas. Para finalizar, destacar el papel jugado por los misioneros en la construcción de la alteridad a través de los distintos dispositivos y estrategias - representaciones y prácticas- implementados en la tarea de “civilizar” a los indígenas. Mediante éstos se pretendía instituir, fijar lo normal-regional, no en base a una horizontalidad e igualdad sino en base a una linealidad vertical generadora de clasificaciones jerárquicas internas que construía alteridades regionales. Por tanto, la jerarquización establecida sobre esas poblaciones desde las instancias de poder centrales, se resquebrajaba en el momento en que los misioneros empezaron a actuar en ese escenario específico del “territorio nacional”.
The main objective of this paper is to analyze “the internal other” in indigenous which was built by barefoot Claretian and Carmelite missionaries within the national Colombian project in Urabá y el Chocó (Colombia) between the years 1908 and 1952 to determine that the missionaries’ interests, in conjunction with the specificities of the territory and indigenous populations, conditioned such construction. Through the analysis of sources elaborated by the religious people in the development of their mission project -magazines of missionary propaganda, mission reports, photos, movies, among others-, it is intended, in one hand, to characterize indigenous populations that populate mission territories, to point out the specificities of the mission project implemented for every religious order and analyze the process of formation of missionaries in regulations of Claretian and Carmelite barefoot missionaries. On the other hand, it is intended to identify and analyze the representations that constructed the regulations among them, the territory and the indigenous peoples, to examine the practices implemented for them in the process of “civilization”' of indigenous communities. Through this exploration, it has been proven the close relation that existed between the implementation of a specific mission project and the specificities of the territory, the idiosyncrasy of indigenous populations of the territory and the characteristics of the missionaries. The different representations, elaborated by the religious people of indigenous populations in mission spaces, were part of a strategy to justify their achievements and failures, and at the same time, were part of a process of missionary identity formation, for to be placed as a moral authority in missionary territories, religious people had to justify their position through the construction of “us” determined to legitimize their superiority towards an “other”, the indigenous. To finish, it is remarkable the role played by the missionaries in the construction of the otherness through different strategies and mechanisms —implemented to “civilize” indigenous. Through this, it was intended to institute, establish the normal-regional, which was not based on horizontality or equality, but based on vertical linearity that generated internal hierarchical classifications which established regional otherness. Therefore, the hierarchy stablished on those populations from central authorities took apart in the moment in which missionaries started acting in that specific scenario of “the national territory”.

Résumé :

Basé sur une approche de géographie sociale, le travail de thèse se propose de questionner les problématiques liées aux difficultés rencontrées par les jeunes des missions locales/PAIO dans leur accession à une vie professionnelle et sociale stable. Dans le Volume 1, un état des lieux de la question de l’insertion des jeunes est fait avec un recensement des travaux en sciences sociales, une analyse statistique et cartographique, et une enquête à l’échelle locale. Avec une immersion à l’échelle locale, dans le Bassin Minier de Lens-Liévin, la métropole de Marseille et le Sud Pays d’Auge - Lisieux, l’objectif de la thèse est de comprendre les parcours d’insertion des jeunes. Dans le Volume 2, l’historique des dispositifs d’insertion, autour notamment du rapport Schwartz, permet de mieux comprendre l’intervention politique en faveur du public des missions locales/PAIO. Et, outre la question de l’emploi, de la formation, du logement ou de la santé des jeunes, le géographe s’attache également à comprendre les enjeux de la mobilité et des trajectoires géographiques des jeunes dans leur parcours d’insertion. Dans le Volume 3, le lecteur peut retrouver notamment les outils méthodologiques (questionnaire, guide d’entretien) ainsi que les fiches résumant les parcours de vie des jeunes rencontrés dans les missions locales/PAIO

Résumé :

Ce travail vise à comprendre les interactions complexes entre Etat colonial, missions chrétiennes et nationalisme en Angola, de 1920 environ à l'indépendance de cette ancienne colonie portugaise en 1975. Loin des nombreux déterminismes d'ordre ethnique, culturel ou religieux qui ont phagocyté la recherche sur ce pays au 20e siècle, il se penche sur l'histoire sociale d'une région particulière, le planalto central. Le rôle social et politique des missions chrétiennes figure au centre de l'analyse. Dans le contexte du colonialisme portugais, elles ont en effet représenté les seules voies d'ascension sociale pour la très faible proportion d'Angolais qui sont parvenus à sortir des marges politiques, sociales et économiques dans lesquelles le système colonial les avait confinés. A ce titre, elles ont joué un rôle important dans la manière dont les sociétés angolaises ont négocié leur articulation à l'Etat colonial, ainsi que dans l'émergence du nationalisme angolais. C'est ce rôle que la thèse met en lumière, en montrant que le nationalisme, loin d'être l'issue "naturelle" de ces interactions, n'est qu'une réponse parmi d'autres aux défis que pose le colonialisme en fin de règne
The thesis aims at understanding the complex interactions that took place between the colonial State, Christian Missions and nationalism in Angola, between c. 1920 and the country's independence in 1975. It runs counter to many deterministic approaches which have given much weight to ethnic, cultural and religious factors in most of Angola's historiography. It focuses of the central planalto region, and looks in particular at the social and political role of Christian missions. In the context of Portuguese colonialism they represented one of the very few alleys of upward social mobility for the vast majority of Angolans who were left at the political, social and economic margins of the colonial system. In that sense, they were key actors in the manner in which Angolan societies negociated their articulation to the colonial State, as well as in the development of nationalism. It is on this role that the thesis concentrates. It shows that nationalism, far from being the "natural" outcome of such interactions, was only one possible response between others to the challenge posed by the late colonialism
