Sweatt, Catherine Parker. « Une Éthique de La Modestie dans Les Essais de Montaigne (Towards a Modest Ethics in Montaigne's Essays) ». Scholarship @ Claremont, 2012. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/91.
Texte intégralRésumé :
La plupart des lectures contemporaines des Essais ignore la pensée morale de Montaigne. Ici, je maintiens que Montaigne épouse ‘une éthique de la modestie’ en même temps qu’il rejette toute éthique normative. En particulier, je cherche à aborder comment Montaigne suggère que nous connaissons la vertu et agissons si deux individus ne partagent pas le même perspective et on ne peut pas être le même sujet éthique deux fois. Je vais commencer par discuter la position épistémique de Montaigne par rapport aux universels pour illustrer comment Montaigne met en question l’universalité des lois éthiques et un bien connu a priori comme certains nominalistes et comment la notion de la contingence qui accompagne cette attitude a des implications pour le sujet. Ensuite, je vais explorer comment Montaigne partage et part des penseurs anciens, surtout les sceptiques, afin de façonner une méthode empirique qui a son point de départ dans l’individu. En fouillant sa méthode, qui a son modèle dans le chapitre « De l’expérience », je vais démontrer comment cet aspect de la pensée de Montaigne empêche sa morale de succomber au nihilisme, parce qu’il affirme qu’il reste des phénomènes qu’on peut connaître à posteriori. Je voudrais montrer comment la méthode des Essais aide les individus à exercer leur jugement pratique et former leur intention face aux circonstances changeantes indépendamment des croyances.
English Translation :
[Most contemporary readings of the Essays ignore Montaigne’s moral thought. In this paper, I assert that Montaigne espouses ‘a modest ethics’ at the same time that he rejects all normative ethical systems. Specifically, I seek to address how Montaigne suggests that we can know virtue and act if no two individuals share the same epistemological position and an individual can never be the same ethical subject twice. I will argue that Montaigne denies human knowledge of metaphysical universals and in this regard resembles medieval nominalists, who held that humans only know individuals and particular instances a posteriori. I will demonstrate that Montaigne’s epistemological modesty influences his ethical position, as he repudiates our capacity to identify an a priori good or a télos to which we should all strive. Because I think that this negative aspect of the Essays does not lead to moral nihilism, I will explore how Montaigne draws and departs from classical thinkers, specifically the Skeptics, in order to fashion an empirical method with the individual ethical subject at its center. I will show how the study of experience outlined in the Essays helps the moral subject to make practical judgments and form intentions with regard to particular circumstances, independently of belief.]

Lindgård, Sarah, et Aneta Machova. « The more comfortable you feel, the more power you have : A study on modest style consumption among young women ». Thesis, Högskolan i Borås, Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hb:diva-12729.
Texte intégralRésumé :
As clothing is the most visible type of consumption, what we wear often says a lot about who we are. We buy what we consider in line with our identity and avoid what we consider as not. Our consumption is influenced by a number of factors, whether internal or external and throughout the years we adopt a certain way of style. As our style evolves, on it depended fashion consumption is also going through a major change. In this master thesis, we present a study of young women from Generation Y, which adopted a style based on their personal needs, desires, and reflections on own body, and decided not to show their femininity in a predictable manner. Opinions on what is considered feminine vary across regions but in this research, we take an interest in Western culture consumers born and located in Europe. By adopting the modest style, women interviewed for the purpose of this study are perceived as challenging the stereotypical views of the female body, which is in the contemporary society and media often shown as an object of male desire, by wearing unisex, oversized, loose fit, deconstructed and even menswear garments. By the method of personal interviews, we asked nine young women about their opinions and reflections on their fashion consumption and views on communicating their self-identity and femininity through their individual take on the modest style. The research has, in addition to literature introducing symbolic consumption and the concept of the self, its foundation in framework discussing feminine identity and relation of the dress and the body. Based on the findings, the thesis presents an analysis of young women’s construction of feminine identity through modest style and reasons and clues influencing their fashion consumption. Through adaptation of modest style, young women purchase garments closely in line with their values and needs and are rarely influenced by opinions of their social groups. By dressing modestly, they demonstrate their femininity in an alternative way and priority in their fashion consumption is given to durable and timeless garments of high quality. In conclusion, we can see that participants are not only modest in their style, but also in the way they consume. Abandoning the presumption that Generation Y was “born to shop”, they are likely to invest in brand concepts with added value in form of appealing brand aesthetics, inspiring retail environment, outstanding personal approach or sustainable production of garments. By repairing or reselling their garments, buying them in second hand or from brands that produce their garments in an ethical way, today’s young women show that they are aware of environmental and political impacts of fashion, and their motivation to buy certain products is highly influenced by individual preferences and deeply rooted in their self-identity.

Ben-Itzhak, Rachel. « Keats, modesty and masturbation ». Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.501739.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In the last decade, Anglo-American feminist criticism wished to establish the notion that Keats is a misogynist who denies 5 his female figures subjective identities in hope of obtaining a masculine poetic self. The main problem with this approach is that critics rely heavily on Keats's diatribe against the Bluestocking women. By generalising Keats's dislike of the Bluestockings to an encompassing attitude towards all women readers and writers, critics fail to recognise the political and social undertones embedded -in Keats's attack. By exploring the socio-political associations attributed to the Bluestockings in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, my thesis argues that Keats's diatribe emerges not so much from the Bluestockings' literary role, but from the social and sexual conservatism embedded in the term bluestocking itself.

Gigstad, Margaret Ann 1955. « Modesty in Mexican-American women ». Thesis, The University of Arizona, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10150/291789.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The purpose of this study was to discover what modesty means to healthy, middle-aged Mexican-American women living in Tucson, Arizona. Accepted ethnographic methodology was used in this exploratory descriptive study. Three audio-taped interviews of one to two hours in length and field notes were used in data collection. A purposive, convenience sample of three Mexican-American women was used. Modesty emerged as a concept inextricably linked to culture. Women's roles were the domains of meaning through which the themes of protection, respect, servility and conflict were described. Modesty in Mexican-American women and the impact it has on health care situations was discussed. Implications for nursing practice were explored.

Billinge, Daniel. « Full-bloodedness, modesty and minimalist truth ». Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/9032.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis discusses the central ideas that surround Michael Dummett's claim that there is an incompatibility between a truth-conditional conception of meaning and a minimalist conception of truth. These ideas are brought into relation to the work of John McDowell and Donald Davidson, as all three philosophers can be better understood by locating them within Dummett's dialectic regarding the incompatibility. Dummett's argument crucially depends upon the assumption that a meaning-theory should be full-blooded in nature, against McDowell's insistence that a meaning-theory can only ever be modest. The main contention of this thesis is that neither Dummett nor McDowell is successful in establishing their strong contentions regarding the form that a meaning-theory should take. McDowell only wants to provide trivial answers to questions about the constitutive nature of the meanings and competency of particular items in a language. Dummett, on the other hand, wants to provide a reductive account of the central concepts that concern the philosophy of language. What this thesis will argue is that once both of these claims have been rejected, the position Dummett and McDowell jointly dictate is in fact the position that we should read Davidson as occupying, who lies in a conceptual space between the extremes of maximal full-bloodedness and modesty. This is an understanding of Davidson that is contrary to how McDowell reads him, who has been an influential commentator of Davidson. How Davidson should actually be interpreted is achieved by understanding how he has the resources to avoid Dummett's claim of an incompatibility between a truth-conditional conception of meaning and a minimalist conception of truth.

Texte intégralRésumé :
My thesis work revolves around investigating painting’s relationship with “bad taste” and heroism. By comparing my paintings to illustrative depictions of “heroism”, artists who turn bad art good, ideas concerning modesty, humor, and invention I will contextualize my stance towards “heroism” and bad taste. By establishing my relationship to the aforementioned examples I will trace the growth of my work over the past few years and discuss how its role within contemporary painting has changed as well as how it interacts with various cultural references.

Os sentimentos de vergonha e de pudor desempenham funções reguladoras no processo de construção da intimidade, em particular na família. O contexto social contemporâneo, em consonância com a maior igualdade nas posições familiares, favorece o emergir da vergonha social. A diluição da transmissão geracional do pudor reflete-se na desvalorização da função da família de preservação de intimidade. Esta pesquisa apresentada em formato de artigo teve como objetivo investigar a vergonha e o pudor na intimidade da família. Para alcançar os objetivos propostos foram entrevistados 8 sujeitos independentes, 5 mulheres e 3 homens, com filhos entre os 12 anos e 18 anos. As entrevistas foram analisadas segundo o método de análise de conteúdo. Constatou-se que os participantes estabelecem relações de maior proximidade com os filhos e evidenciam um afastamento da transmissão da vergonha e do pudor associados ao campo sexual, em relação às gerações anteriores. Demonstram que o sentimento de vergonha está relacionado à valorização da imagem familiar e social. Os participantes associaram o sentimento de vergonha à exposição da intimidade dos filhos nas redes sociais, evidenciando uma preocupação com a sua imagem social e profissional.
The feelings of shame and modesty play a regulatory role in the process of building intimacy, particularly in the family. The contemporary social context, in keeping with the greater equality in family positions, favors the emergence of social shame. Generational transmission of modesty is diminished and is reflected in the devaluation of the preservation of intimacy in the function of the family. This research in article format aimed to investigate the shame and the modesty in the intimacy of the family. In order to achieve the proposal objectives, 8 independent people were interviewed, 5 women and 3 men, with children between 12 and 18 years. The interviews were analyzed by the content analysis method. It was observed that the participants established closer relationships with their children and demonstrated a distance from the transmission of shame and modesty associated with sexual field, in relation to the previous generations. They demonstrated that the feeling of shame is related to the appreciation of the family and social image. The participants associated the feeling of shame with the exposure of children s intimacy in social networks, demonstrating a concern with their social and professional image.

Al-Qasimi, Noor. « The codes of modesty : reconfiguring the Muslim female subject ». Thesis, University of Warwick, 2007. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2431/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study addresses the relationship between the veil and the constitution of what I have tenned the Muslim female subject in the field of visual and popular culture, with a special emphasis on film. My case-studies range from European historical texts to contemporary visual culture and social practices with reference to the Middle East. The study draws on postcolonial and feminist literature to explore the productions of the Muslim female subject within the discourses of (post)colonialism, nationalism and Islamic patriarchy. It examines the Muslim female subject in relation to the paradigms of veiling and unveiling in a cross-cultural yet context-specific differentiated analysis. The aim is to interrogate the mobility of the veil and the manner in which it can be evaded, substituted or transferred without transgressing the codes of Islamic female modesty. It identifies different manifestations of the veil's mobility, which I contend challenge Islamic hegemonic discourses whilst simultaneously transcending the colonialist paradigm of unveiling. The material I discuss ranges from (de-)colonial cinematic texts, Iranian cinema and advertising for Saudi Arabian Television. I look at canonical texts such as Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1966) and Abbas Kiarostami's 10 (2002) in view of their significance in scholarship relating to the Muslim female subject within film studies. I also examine manifestations of the veil in the field of fashion and make extensive reference to paradigmatic representations of the Muslim female subject in contemporary art and curatorial projects.

Lombarde, Elodie. « Du silence à l'ouvrage, coudre le poids des matériaux modestes ». Thesis, Paris 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA010643/document.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Coudre le poids des matériaux modestes est l’enjeu plastique de mon travail depuis plusieurs années. Par une extraction et une exploration du modeste au sein d’assemblages cousus, s’est ouvert un questionnement sur la sculpture. La thèse Du silence à l’ouvrage, témoigne de leur passage de futiles à surfaces planes au sein de suspensions et interroge leur fragilité et poids théorique. En détournant les usages traditionnels, je couds des assemblages qui silencieusement interroge le quotidien, le savoir-faire, l’ordre apparent des choses et des représentations. Je tisse une constellation d’interprétations, de formes et de références dont la force symbolique et politique se révèle dans le modeste. Les formes sculpturales découlent de ce préexistant, négocient avec lui et l’agencent. Elles ne naissent pas d’une modification provenant de l’extérieur mais de la matérialité des matériaux les composant. Une chute où les matières racontent leur tragédie et épuisent leur possible, pour devenir des formes empathiques aux poids symboliques. Mes recherches exposent les assemblages cousus pour révéler les tensions inhérentes à la matière et sa provenanceStitching the weight of modest materials is the fundamental question; it is the heart of my research these past several years. Modest mediums are able to raise questions about sculpture by extraction and exploration of their materiality in stitched assemblies. The thesis Du silence à l’ouvrage shows their passage from futile object to flat surface in suspensions and tell their fragility and their theoretical weight. Turning away from traditional uses, I sew assemblies that silently asks every day, knowledge, the apparent order of things and representations. I weave a constellation of interpretations, shapes and items whose symbolic and political force is revealed in the modest. Sculptural forms derive from the pre-existing, negotiates with it and arranges it. The sculpture is born more from an external change than from the materiality of its components. It is a fall where materials recount their tragedy and deplete their potential becoming empathetic forms of symbolic weight. My research demonstrates stitched assemblies and reveals the tensions inherent in the material and its provenance

In this study we intend to analyze the trilogy of short-stories by Brazilian writer Modesto Carone: As marcas do real (1979), Aos pés de Matilda (1980) and Dias melhores (1984). The purpose is to examine how his short-stories bring a problem to the definition of real in Literature, creating a tension between the narrator's point of view (or subjectivity) and the objective aspects of real (the representation of the physical world in fiction). Revealing an ambiguous articulation between both elements, his short-stories resize the identities of real to a sort of pointed realism. The presence of an unaware narrator helps us understand the constant unfolding of the stories, the syntax of the deformations, as well as a general effect of a crisis of identities in Modesto Carone's fiction. Paradoxically, his short-stories suggest a humanist utopia that can be seen through the multiple consciousness that arises from the conflicts between the subject and the others.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die Embryonalentwicklung des Rankenfußkrebses Elminius modestus (Thecostraca: Cirripedia). Der Entwicklungsprozess wurde mithilfe unterschiedlicher Methoden wie 4D Mikroskopie, in vivo Einzelzellmarkierungen, Fluoreszenzhistochemie und konfokaler Laserscanningmikroskopie in Verbindung mit 3D Rekonstruktionen untersucht. Die Furchung von E. modestus ist total, inequal in Bezug auf die Dotterzelle und asynchron mit einem anterior-posterioren Gradienten. Der gesamte Prozess folgt einem strengen Teilungsmuster mit nur sehr geringer Variabilität. Eine davon stellt das Auftreten spiegelbildlicher Embryonen ab dem 4-Zell. Die Keimblattdifferenzierung wurde vor allem mittels in vivo Zellmarkierungen untersucht. Die Trennung der endodermalen und endomesodemalen Keimblätter erfolgt nach der vierten Furchungsteilung, die Trennung des Ectomesoderm nach der sechsten Teilung. Die Urkeimzellen sind aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach ein Produkt der siebten Furchungsteilung der Dotterzellen (3Da und 3Dp). Im Zuge der Untersuchung konnte die Zelllinie jedes Keimblattes rekonstruiert werden, die Zellschicksale der Abkömmlinge der Quadranten wurde bis zum 16-Zell Stadium beschrieben. Das Ectoderm entspringt allen vier Quadranten, ebenso das Ectomesoderm (die letzten identifizierten Mesectoblasten sind 3A, 3B, 3C, 1drp und 1dlp). Endoderm und Endomesoderm entwickeln sich aus einzelnen Vorläuferzellen im 16-Zell Stadium (2D bzw. 2d). Das Auftreten nur eines einzelnen Endoblasten stellt eine mögliche Apomorphie aller Ecdysozoa dar. Das Vorhandensein eines einzelnen Mesendoblasten wird als mögliches Merkmal des Grundmusters aller Protostomia in Betracht gezogen.The present work is devoted to the embryonic development of the thoracican barnacle Elminius modestus (Thecostraca: Cirripedia). The developmental process was investigated by means of different techniques like 4D microscopy, in vivo labelling, fluorescent histochemistry, and confocal laser scanning microscopy combined with 3D reconstructions. The cleavage of E. modestus is total, unequal with regards to the yolky cell, and asynchronous with an anterior-posterior gradient. The entire process appears to follow a strict pattern of divisions with very little variability, one of which includes the occurrence of mirror image embryos from the 4-cell stage on. The germ layer differentiation was mainly studied by means of in vivo labelling. The segregation of the endodermal and the endomesodemal germ layers are shown to happen after the fourth division, whereas the ectomesoderm segregates after the sixth division. The primordial germ cells are suggested to be a product of the seventh cleavage division of the yolky cells (3Da and 3Dp). During the research the cell lineage of each germ layer was established, the fates of the quadrant descendants are described up to the 16-cell stage. The ectoderm originates from four quadrants, as does the ectomesoderm (the last identified mesectoblasts are 3A, 3B, 3C, 1drp, and 1dlp). The endoderm and the endomesoderm develop from single precursors at the 16-cell stage (2D and 2d, respectively). The presence of only a single endoblastic cell, might represent an apomorphy for the entire group of Ecdysozoa. A singular mesendoblast is suggested to be a possible feature in the developmental ground pattern of all Protostomia.

Mohamad, Emma. « Breastfeeding, media and culture : negotiating space, modesty, motherhood and risk in Malaysia ». Thesis, Cardiff University, 2011. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/54458/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This study explores how Malay women negotiate religion (Islam) and culture in their understanding of breastfeeding and their responses to media representations. The study adopts a cultural anthropological approach, exploring women's relationship with breastfeeding in specific cultural context, but also linking with debates about media influence. The thesis unpacks the complex relationship between media and audience by examining breast and formula feeding in both general and specialist media, as well as exploring mothers' discussions about infant feeding (which include their responses to media prompts and them making collages) in focus groups. The study suggests that culture and religion play an important role in women's understanding of breastfeeding and the media. In particular, this thesis identifies how women negotiate Islamic rule about milk kinship and the notion of bonding, which affect how they feel about wet nursing practice. In addition, mothers recognise their responsibilities as Muslim women (through the rules of aurat) which shape feelings of modesty and the way they look at space (both media and real space). Women also discuss ideologies of motherhood through the 'types' of women who would breast or formula feed, and identify with their role as mothers in their responses to media stories about infant feeding risk. The study therefore locates Malay mothers as audiences whose readings link to everyday lives, embodied experiences, and identities.

Stwodah, Hawa. « ADORNMENT AND MODESTY A Symbiotic Relationship between Surface Design and Social Behavior ». VCU Scholars Compass, 2016. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/4115.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The impulse to beautifying clothing through acts of adornments or embellishments is an innate characteristic of humans. The added decorative details are used for identification and visual communication by the wearer and comprehension and visual appreciation by the viewer.
This thesis investigates the recent attention to female modesty, labeled as the Modesty Movement--the community that has developed around the apparel segment of the Movement and the framework of the behavior encompassing the participants within Movement. Additionally, the thesis focuses on adornment through the lens of textile/surface design (embellishment) specific to the Greater Middle East and the northern provinces of India and its application to modest apparel. Surface design is defined as manipulation of a textile beyond the woven construction, in this context it is applied to women’s apparel that covers the head and chest. Through a series of experiments using light, sound and motion the thesis examines how the use of of adornment simultaneously conveys identity and conceals the wearer.

Allen, Stephen Derek. « Making-sense of sustainability : seeking to enact modesty and humility in (re)searching ». Thesis, Lancaster University, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.655657.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The primary question that I am seeking to approach is, 'how can we consider sustainability?': 'consider' meaning both to contemplate and, to approach through social research. The two questions that have guided three phases of fieldwork are: 'how are managers holding views about sustainability?'; and, 'how are managers taking action?'. The first two phases of fieldwork involved interviewing managers in the energy and power industry. The third phase consisted of my participation in two different fieldwork spaces: a newly established community of private and public sector organisations, and a city council climate change strategy stakeholder consultation process. By drawing in epistemological sensibilities from Science and Technology Studies, I contribute through offering alternative research methods and practices for scholars in Organisation and Management Studies to consider sustainability by: performing writing practices which respect my reflexive and embodied approach; evolving conceptualisations of myself researching as a 'conduit'; enacting notions of humility and modesty through my methods; and, conducting' gatherings' to bring together disparate domains of literature about sustainability, and assemble my analysis of fieldwork. My interpretations of the first and second phases of fieldwork show: how tensions amongst the managers' sense-making manifest; and, how differing environmental discourses, to which their discursive patterns can be associated, collide and can collapse. In the third phase I describe how, when sustainability is performed: it struggles in the margins; it is depicted substantially by quantitative data; and, seems to be a troubling and inconvenient problem. From my PhD journey, I propose that sustainability challenges us to think differently. To approach this I suggest that scholars within OMS need to experiment with alternative reflexive and embodied research methods which offer more ambiguous knowledges. I argue that by nurturing a sense of humility and modesty researchers can help enable more inclusive and meaningful sustainabilities.

Abstract Understanding the factors that affect settlement and adhesion strength of barnacles to foul-release coatings will help the development of future commercial foul-release coatings. However, these factors are many and complex. This thesis concentrated on the barnacle Elminius modestus and was separated into two sections. Section one tested the hypothesis that biogeography determines genetic variation and section two tested the hypothesis that coating colour affected adhesion strength and recruitment. These aims were met with some unexpected and intriguing results. In order to quantify variation in adhesion strength, six colour panels of a commercial foul-release coating, IS700®, were immersed at eight locations in the UK. Push-off tests were employed to test the adhesion strength of E. modestus to the coatings. Formulation was characterised by analysing surface energy, surface roughness, dry film thickness and using pseudobarnacles. The most efficient DNA extraction protocol was found to be using barnacle cirri and the Dnamite® extraction kit. Mitochondrial DNA markers and microsatellite loci were used to investigate barnacle population structure. Analysis of the data suggested that there was a correlation between coating colour and strength of adhesion and coating colour and recruitment density of E. modestus to commercially available foul-release coatings. Basal area was found to be directly related to strength of adhesion. Adhesion strength varied from site and by year. Pseudobarnacle push-off data was found not to be a good predictor of live barnacle push-off data. Barnacle population structure indicated transport of barnacles as fouling organisms on ships. A discussion of barnacle adaptation concluded that it is possible that barnacle species may become locally adapted 4 to foul-release coatings and that environmental variation such as temperature and fetch affect haplotype frequency. There was no correlation between haplotype frequency and adhesion strength. Overall conclusions of this thesis are that there are many interacting and complex factors that affect E. modestus adhesion to foul-release coatings.

En este artículo, Lipton y Lorsch, haciéndole frente al contexto mencionado, brindaron una propuesta efectiva para mejorar tanto los gobiernos corporativos como la posición competitiva de las compañías en su país. Ello reduciría la tensión entre inversionistas institucionales activos y grupos de defensa y corporaciones de accionistas, eliminaría muchas actividades de apoderamiento de accionistas institucionales dadas para imponer sus conceptos de gobernabilidad corporativa, detendría esfuerzos por más regulación federal y legislación, y evitaría un cambio judicial que se aleje de la tradicional revisión empresa-juicio derecho de las acciones del directorio.

Miguel, Nicholas Edward. « The art songs of Modesta Bor (1926-1998) ». Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6213.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay introduces readers to the music of the Venezuelan composer Modesta Bor (1926-1998) and provides a resource for interpretation of her art songs for voice and piano. Bor was an important composer in Venezuela with a successful career in composition, pedagogy, and conducting. However, she is not widely known outside of Venezuela and scholarship on her art song is limited. This study seeks to fill that void by examining Bor’s twenty-nine published art songs for solo voice and piano. These works include the song cycles/collections Tres canciones infantiles para voz y piano, Canciones infantiles, Primer ciclo de romanzas para contralto y piano, Segundo ciclo de romanzas para contralto y piano, Tríptico sobre poesía cubana, and Tres canciones para mezzo-soprano y piano, as well as nine ungrouped songs. Bor’s art songs are notable for her imitation of Venezuelan folk and popular music in the vein of Figurative Nationalism, her sophisticated harmonic language, and neoclassical techniques such as ostinato and motivic variation. This essay aims to help performers begin to understand the allusions to the national music of Venezuela. Her music elevates the llanero, the common rural laborer, and comments on the social issues of her people. This essay provides a brief history of Venezuelan music, a biography of Bor, and brief biographies of the poets used. It also contributes original poetic and musical analyses of her art songs, exploring the areas of form, melody, rhythm, and harmony. Venezuelan Spanish and the lyric diction appropriate for Bor’s songs are discussed. Poetic translations, word-for-word translations, and International Phonetic Alphabet transliterations are included for all of the poetry used.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The publication of "Edgar Allen Poe & the Juke-Box" modifies Elizabeth Bishops established oeuvre in ways that demonstrate the anxiety throughout her work regarding the concealment of sexual differencea concealment she often takes part in. As the poems reveal, by putting emphasis on particular kinds of clothing, Bishop emphasizes the necessarybut flawedmethods for that concealment. Black stockings, gloves, sailors hats, and other garments of traditional gender representation work as useful metaphors, symbolically engaging the construction of the literary image accepted in the academy which has produced the unified notion of Bishopness some critics still wish to uphold. When themes of gender and sexuality are most at crisis, articles of clothing such as stockings become important signs of what Bishop deemed necessary to put onboth figuratively and literallyin order to uphold the style and poise she continues to be celebrated for.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Gray gulls Larus modestus are unique among birds of northern Chile as the only species nesting in the interior Atacama Desert, and the only seagull nesting far (30 - 100 km) from surface water. During breeding-nesting (August - February) gray gulls congregate on the coast of northern Chile where they feed and initiate courtship. As early as August, breeding pairs commute daily to the inner desert to establish nesting territories, round-trip distances of 60-200 Km. During incubation (30 days) and brooding (7 days) adults alternate daily foraging flights to the coast. Afterwards, both adults forage daily for their chick(s) until fledging (ca. 60 days). Foraging flights and thermoregulatory costs during the period of maximal solar radiation, when ground temperatures may reach 61 C in the day and drop to 2 C at night, have selected for adaptations which minimize those costs: tolerance of hypothermia and hyperthermia; dark plumage; low egg-shell water vapor conductance; low standard metabolic rate; elaborate repertory of thermoregulatory behavior which allow adults to take advantage of microclimatic variations in the desert and minimize costs relative to a sympatric congenor, Larus belcheri scheduling foraging flights to take advantage of optimal atmospheric conditions and presence of forage fish (anchovies) close to the surface; scheduling migration to coincide with anchovy production and levels of interspecific competition; and reduced clutch size ( ≤ 2) relative to most seagulls. Periodic El Nino-Southern Oscillations (ENSO), which reduce principal food items of gray gulls, have selected for 'bet hedging" tactic by which L. modestus either ceases reproduction or varies clutch size between one and two, as observed during and after the 1982-83 ENSO.
During a typical reproductive season, breeding pairs allocate a minimum of 39 percent of their net metabolized energy (NME) to foraging flights. Including energy content of eggs, females have an overall reproductive effort (RE=reproductive costs/NME) of 35.1 percent of 122,086.8 KJ per year.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Le syndrome de l’imposteur peut être source d’une grande souffrance. Soixante-deux à 70% de la population peuvent être amenés à douter, ne serait-ce qu’une fois, de la légitimité de leur statut. Ces questionnements s’orientent sur l’impression de tromper les autres, sur les attributions de sa situation et sur la peur de voir son incompétence mise à jour. Malgré sa prévalence, peu d’études s’intéressent au caractère pathologique de ce syndrome, et encore moins à chercher des outils d’accompagnement adaptés. Les objectifs de ce travail étaient de valider un outil d’évaluation en français, et d’améliorer la compréhension de la dimension cognitive de ce syndrome.L’étude 1 est une étude quantitative menée auprès de 549 participants. Elle propose la validation du concept du syndrome de l’imposteur et la réalité d’un syndrome pouvant être pathologique. Les résultats démontrent différents profils d’imposteurs pour lesquels les comorbidités et leur vécu se révèlent différents.L’étude 2 est une étude quantitative menée auprès de 1597 participants. Elle a permis la validation de la Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) dans sa version francophone. Les résultats démontrent des bonnes qualités psychométriques du questionnaire. L’étude 3 est une étude quantitative menée auprès de 694 participants. Elle évalue les manifestations anxieuses inhérentes au syndrome de l’imposteur. Les analyses rendent compte de profils d’imposteurs différents. L’établissement d’un modèle d’émergence de ce syndrome a été suggéré afin d’interroger sa présence lors des périodes de grand stress de la vie. L’étude 4 est une étude quantitative menée auprès de 873 participants. Elle est axée sur l’intégration de l’acceptation inconditionnelle de soi comme outil pertinent de prise en charge des imposteurs. Elle propose de plus un profil cognitif de ces personnes au regard de la représentation de l’échec, des attitudes dysfonctionnelles et d’une faible acceptation inconditionnelle de soiThe impostor phenomenon can represent a significant distress source. The literature suggests that 60-70% of the population questions their legitimacy at least once in their lives. These doubts focus on feelings of inadequacy or fraud, poor success attribution, and the fear of being exposed as an impostor. Few studies have explored the pathological aspects of the impostor phenomenon despite its prevalence. Moreover, to our knowledge too little research has been conducted to design adequate management tools. The research carried out for this thesis seeks to validate existing impostor phenomenon measures, the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), as well as better understand cognitive dimensions related to this syndrome.Study 1 was a quantitative study carried out on a sample of 549 participants. This study deals with the validation of the independent concept of impostor phenomenon as well as potential pathological aspects related to it. Results showed different impostor profiles both in intensity and impacts of this syndrome.Study 2 was a quantitative study carried out on 1,597-strong sample. The main objective was to validate an existing impostor phenomenon scale (CIPS) in French. The results demonstrated good psychometric validity for the French version.Study 3 was a quantitative study carried out on a sample of 694 participants. This study examined anxiety manifestations linked to the impostor phenomenon. The results demonstrated different profiles of impostors. A model was developed to help understand the manifestation of this syndrome during periods of severe stress and change.Study 4 was a quantitative study carried out on a sample of 873 participants. This study focused on unconditional self-acceptance as a useful method of appropriate therapeutic management linked to the impostor phenomenon. A cognitive profile of impostors was developed that helps account for irrational beliefs about failure, dysfunctional attitudes, and low unconditional self-acceptance

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this work we present our contributions related to the improvement of testing activities, in particular, we present a model-based testing method called MODEST. The main characteristic of MODEST is the use of simple information about the behavior of the system under test. The use of MODEST can decrease the development costs, due to the reduction of the overall effort required in the development. Although the use of the method increases the design time, it decreases the effort required in the testing activities. This reduction generates an overall reduction in the development effort. The use of the method can also improve the failure detection capability. This was evidenced in a study showing that the automatically generated tests were more effective to detect the system failures than the manually generated ones.
During the development of MODEST we identified a series of requirements related to model-based testing. We grouped these requirements in a catalog and we extended it by using several software developers. We believe that our requirements catalog captures the needs, expectations, and constraints of software development workers in a high level of abstraction. Despite the influence of our previous knowledge of information systems development in setting up the catalog, we believe that it can be useful in other domains as well. The catalog can be used as a basis for improving methods as well as a guide for the development of new methods and tools.Neste trabalho apresentamos contribuições relacionadas à melhoria das atividades de teste, em particular, apresentamos um método de Teste Baseado em Modelos, denominado MODEST, que foi concebido para utilizar informações simples sobre o comportamento do Sistema Sob Teste. O uso do MODEST pode reduzir o custo do desenvolvimento, em função da redução do esforço exigido durante a construção do software. Embora o uso do método aumente o tempo para desenho, ele reduz o esforço exigido nas atividades de teste. Essa redução propicia uma diminuição geral no tempo e desenvolvimento, que normalmente acarreta em ganhos em termos de custos. O uso do método também pode trazer uma maior capacidade de detecção de falhas. Isso foi evidenciado em um estudo experimental, que mostrou que os testes gerados automaticamente, utilizando a ferramenta baseada no método, foram mais eficazes na detecção de falhas que os testes manualmente produzidos pelos participantes do estudo.Durante a criação do MODEST identificamos uma série de requisitos associados ao Teste Baseado em Modelos. Agrupamos esses requisitos na forma de um catálogo e o estendemos a partir da realização de oficinas de requisitos com diversos profissionais relacionados ao desenvolvimento de software. O catálogo de requisitos desenvolvido captura as necessidades, expectativas e restrições dos trabalhadores relacionados ao desenvolvimento de software considerados. Apesar desse catálogo ter sido influenciado diretamente por nosso conhecimento prévio no desenvolvimento de sistemas de informação, ele também pode ser útil para outros domínios. Os requisitos existentes no catálogo podem ser utilizados como guia para o desenvolvimento ou avaliação de métodos e ferramentas para o Teste Baseado em Modelos.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the potential of Elminius modestus (= Austrominius modestus) for evaluating the performance of fouling-release (FR) coatings. A secondary aim was to explore how the membranous-basis of this species influences the fracture mechanics and release from FR coatings in comparison to Balanus amphitrite (= Amphibalanus amphitrite), a barnacle with a calcareous-basis and widely adopted as a model for antifouling and FR studies. The critical removal stress (CRS) − the force required to remove fouling organisms, normalised by contact area − is a standard measure to evaluate FR coatings using either barnacles with calcareous-bases or metal studs (‘pseudobarnacles’). Testing FR coatings against a diverse range of fouling organisms is necessary to evaluate the global effectiveness of a coating. The percentage settlement of cyprids, growth rate, and CRS of laboratory-cultured barnacles were evaluated on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) standard coatings (Silastic T-2 and Sylgard 184). The percentage settlement on the PDMS coatings between the two species did not significantly differ, however, there were differences in the growth rate and CRS. When grown on Silastic T-2 and Sylgard 184 and fed Tetraselmis suecica algae, E. modestus grew at a faster rate than that of B. amphitrite. There was also a significant coating effect on the growth of E. modestus with barnacles on Sylgard 184 growing to larger size than those grown on Silastic T-2. The CRS of E. modestus was less than that for B. amphitrite but only for the coating Sylgard 184. Using high-speed photography, the separation processes of E. modestus and B amphitrite, from Silastic T-2 and Sylgard 184 coatings was observed. Four distinct separation patterns were characterised; lift, peel, adjacent peel and twist. These were based on the location of the initial separation and direction of propagating instabilities in respect to the direction of detachment force. The observed differences in the separation patterns between species may have more to do with the variations in shape and structure of the barnacle shell than to the type of basis. However, the flexibility of the membranous-basis of E. modestus was important for the propagation of the fracture as it hindered the formation of fingering instabilities as they progressed through the adhesive interface. The bulk properties of five polysiloxanes and three fluoropolymers were modified by changing the polymer chain length and cross-linker density, which provided coatings with a modulus ranging from 0.31 to 19.73 MPa. These were used to investigate whether laboratory assays were a good predictor of a coatings performance in the field, in terms of settlement/recruitment and CRS. Two field populations (Fairlie Quay and Burnham-on-Crouch) over two years (2010 and 2011) were compared to a laboratory culture of E. modestus barnacles. There were similarities between the laboratory settlement/field recruitment and CRS of E. modestus from the two field populations and the laboratory culture across the eight coatings. This made it possible to discriminate between the coatings. Although, the CRS measurements did significantly differ between locations and years, where the general pattern from highest to lowest in terms of CRS between the locations was Fairlie Quay > laboratory > Burnham-on-Crouch. These eight coatings were also used to investigate the degree in which the elastic modulus of a coating can influence the CRS of E. modestus, compared to the CRS of B. amphitrite. The regression analysis confirmed that as the modulus increases the CRS for both species increases. There were marked differences in the removal of barnacles from the high modulus fluoropolymers. B. amphitrite, unlike E. modestus, failed to detach and left the basis on the coating’s surface. As E. modestus can differentiate between the coatings in terms of FR efficacy and was amenable to laboratory culture with a comparable growth rate to B. amphitrite, this species is recommended as an additional model for FR studies.

Le personnage de l'ornemaniste occupe une place primordiale mais rarement bien définie dans le processus de création du monde des arts décoratifs du XIXe siècle. Prenant place au coeur de la société de l'ornement, Michel Liénard (1810-1870) est l'un de ces artistes curieux de tout, engagés dans de nombreux chantiers et de multiples domaines, à la fois tournés vers le passé et constamment à la recherche de progrès et de nouveauté. Spécialiste du néo-Renaissance mais participant plus globalement du courant de l'éclectisme, Michel Liénard a collaboré avec les grands noms de l'époque et ses travaux regardent aussi bien l'orfèvrerie, avec François-Désiré Froment-Meurice ou le mobilier avec la maison Grohé, la sculpture religieuse monumentale (chapelle royale de Dreux) ou mobilière (église Sainte-Clotilde, orgues de Cavaillé-Coll), la décoration d'intérieur palais du quai d'Orsay) ou l'urbanisme haussmannien. Cette étude biographique s'accompagne d'un répertoire des artistes que croise Liénard au cours de sa carrière, ornemanistes, sculpteurs, architectes, chefs d'entreprise, souvent liés professionnellement et personnellementThe ornemanist occupies an essential but hardely well defined place in the creative processes of the decorative arts world of the ninteenth century. Michel Liénard (1810-1870) takes place in the heart of the society of ornament; he is one of these curious artists, involved in many decorative fields, both turned to past and contantely looking for progress and innovation. As a specialist of the néo-Renaissance style and ecclecticism in general, Michel Liénard collaborated with the great names of the time: the goldsmith François-Désiré Froment-Meurice as well as the furniture house of the Grohé brothers or the organ maker Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. His works are related to religious sculpture (royal chapel of Dreux, Sainte-Clotilde church in Paris), interior decoration (palace of the Ministry of Foreign Affaires in Paris) or Haussmann's renovation of the capital. This biographical study goes along with a repertory of the artists who Liénard sees during his carrier (ornamentists, sculptors, architects, company heads) and who are often related to one another by professional and personnal bounds

Texte intégralRésumé :
The acorn barnacle Elminius modestus (Darwin) was shown to be an excellent organism in which to study the effects of pollution throughout the life cycle. Effects of copper were demonstrated on both larval and adult forms at acute, chronic and physiological levels. Acute effects of copper on E. modestus nauplii were shown through acute toxicity tests (100 ppb-500 ppb). The test procedure was standardised and subsequently used to identify the effects of various factors on copper toxicity. Rises in temperature from 12.5*C to 22.5*C increased copper toxicity to the nauplii. Parental maintenance could affect naupliar tolerance to copper. The organic content of seawater reduced copper toxicity to the nauplii. The tolerance of nauplii from the copper-contaminated Dulas Bay had a genetic origin. The complex interactions between food, feeding behaviour and copper toxicity were investigated throughout the development of E. modestus larvae. The major findings pinpointed 'nutritional stress' as the main factor that influenced the action of dissolved copper. In the laboratory, chronic effects on adult E. modestus barnacles were evidenced through reduced survivorship, growth and reproductive effort in a population exposed to 50 ppb copper for more than four months. Exposure of E. modestus adults to 20 ppb copper reduced feeding rates and altered feeding behaviour. Further physiological effects of copper were demonstrated on E. modestus nauplii through variations in oxygen consumption. At 16*C, nauplii exposed to 50 ppb had higher respiration rates than 'control' nauplii. The oxygen consumption of nauplii at higher concentrations was equivalent to that of uncontaminated nauplii. The result is interpreted as evidence that regulation (copper sequestration) incurs an energetic cost.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La retraite est généralement conçue comme une institution qui incarne la réussite du modèle social français : les retraités forment une part marginale des bénéficiaires des services d’aide sociale, la France est le deuxième pays de l’OCDE à avoir le plus faible taux de pauvreté chez les personnes âgées, et en moyenne ce groupe jouit d’un niveau de vie supérieur à l’ensemble des actifs. Pourtant, depuis quelques années on sait qu’un tiers des retraité.es touchent des pensions mensuelles inférieures ou égales à 1000 euros dont 74% de femmes. Quel est l’état des inégalités dans la retraite ? Et quelle est réellement la situation sociale des retraité.es ? Alors que la littérature atteste de la réussite exemplaire de la politique des retraites à avoir éradiqué le phénomène d’indigence et de pauvreté structurelle des vieux travailleurs, comment comprendre l’existence de ce nouveau groupe social dont l’existence interroge les représentations sociologiques des formes contemporaines de la pauvreté ? A partir d’une méthodologie reposant sur quinze ans de recherche dont sept années dans le champ de l’expertise retraite ainsi que sur la réalisation d’une enquête menée par entretiens semi-directifs dans une campagne populaire en Occitanie, la thèse propose une sociologie de celles et de ceux que l’administration nomme les « retraité.es modestes ». Située à l’intersection de la sociologie de la socialisation économique, de la sociologie de la retraite et de la sociologie générale, elle propose une analyse compréhensive de la retraite conçue comme un dispositif de régulation des parcours de prévoyance individuels. Cette perspective repose sur un travail inédit de conceptualisation de la notion de prévoyance qui permet de livrer une étude empirique du rôle régulateur du dispositif dans les vies individuelles. En exploitant les entretiens menés auprès de 42 retraité.es et de 12 acteurs institutionnels engagés dans le champ de la vieillesse, la thèse montre ainsi comment le dispositif produit une régulation différenciée des parcours de prévoyance qui opère de façon invisible, corporatiste et familialiste aux échelles collective et individuelle de la vie sociale. Pour en évaluer l’influence dans les parcours individuels, trois phases ont été isolées (l’expérience de l’affiliation, l’expérience de la cotisation et l’expérience de la liquidation des droits) puis comparées dans le récit des expériences vécues des enquêté.es. Cette démarche permet d’identifier trois types de parcours de prévoyance qui permettent de comprendre comment le dispositif produit activement des inégalités sociales dans la vieillesse : le parcours de prévoyance socialisée des fonctionnaires et des salariés, le parcours de prévoyance patrimoniale des professions indépendantes et enfin le parcours de prévoyance familialiste des épouses et les mères. A partir de ces résultats, la thèse propose quatre pistes pour une évolution solidariste de la retraitePension system is generally known as part of the success of french welfare regime: marginal part of the beneficiaries of social assistance services are retired people, France get one of the lowest poverty rates among the elderly in OECD countries, and national statistics show this group has on average a higher standard of living than active people. However, for a few years a new trend appears showing one third of retirees earns €1000 or less for a monthly incomes's pension, and this situation concerns mostly women. What do we know about inequalities in retirement? And what is the social situation of retired people? While literature emphasizes the historical success of pension policy in eradicating indigence and structural poverty among old workers, what do the existence of this new social group says about French society?

Dentro dos dilemas vividos pela literatura contemporânea brasileira, principalmente nas duas últimas décadas do século XX, interessa-nos o estudo das narrativas breves de Modesto Carone, com foco mais detido nos contos Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980) e O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007), principalmente porque estes contos fazem referência às questões da identidade e da subjetividade, como estas se apresentam em nossos dias, e trabalham a literatura como elemento crítico da sociedade. Utilizando pressupostos da Teoria Crítica, como os formulados por Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer e Walter Benjamin, este estudo tem como objetivo iniciar uma investigação a respeito da formalização estética de questões sociais presente na narrativa de Modesto Carone e espera poder contribuir para novas possibilidades de interpretação da obra do autor brasileiro dentro do painel da literatura contemporânea.Among the dilemmas experienced by contemporary Brazilian literature, especially over the last two decades of the twentieth century, I have chosen to discuss issues of identity and subjectivity, as they present themselves in three short stories by Modesto Carone, Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980), and O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007). Using the assumptions of Critical Theory, as formulated by Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Walter Benjamin, this study aims to investigate the aesthetic formalization of social issues present in Modesto Carone`s and hopes to contribute to new possibilities of interpretating the Brazilian authors work within the reality of contemporary literature, understood as a critical element of society.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In diesem Auditorium ist es nicht nötig, die Bedeutung des Opernschaffens Mussorgskis für die Musikkultur unseres Jahrhunderts zu erklären. Wenn wir aber von seinen Opern und deren Aufführungen in Europa sprechen, dürfen wir nicht übersehen, daß den Löwenanteil der Popularität dem Autor nur ein Werk brachte, Boris Godunov. Sowohl für die Ontologie als auch für die Gnoseologie der modernen Opernkunst ist aber das Schicksal des zweiten Kunstwerks des russischen Komponisten, der Chovanščina, nicht weniger interessant.

Texte intégralRésumé :
General objectives of my study were to describe the reproductive ecology of gray gulls in the large Lealtad colony, with emphasis on demographic parameters and physiological adaptations of eggs and chicks, which would complete some original objectives established in the early 1980's by Guerra and Fitzpatrick. Specifically, my study focused on describing, then comparing with other desert and non-desert nesting larids, interactive effects of ambient physical conditions and nest-site predation on eggs and chicks.
