Texte intégralRésumé :
This mixed-media memoir uses a variety of forms from short epigrammatic essays to straightforward stories and graphic narratives to explore the author's coming-of-age experiences augmented by chronic illness. Trying to succeed in the film industry, romance, and family situations, the young female narrator navigates the often unexpected or disappointing consequences of having an autonomic nervous system disorder. Relationships between conflicting identities emerge—between healthy versus sick self, projected/envisioned versus actual self, and tough versus vulnerable self—as the narrator journeys toward a more complete and accepting self-understanding.M.F.A.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In its simplest form, storytelling is the passing of information from one person to the next. When storytelling illuminates time, place and purpose, it is then able to entertain, comfort and transport any listener. As the keeper of the imagination, the storyteller has inspired me as a performer. After reading Zora Neale Hurston's Every Tongue Got to Confess, I found my single-defining connection to the art of storytelling. Halimuhfack ultimately became my thesis performance piece inspired by the folk tales from Every Tongue Got To Confess. The new theatre piece shares Hurston's folk tale the way it may have once been told; in its natural dialect, with the same active physical involvement as if sharing stories with friends. Together, the research of the folk tale, Hurston's anthropological studies, folk songs and narrative from her autobiography aided in the development of the performance piece. In developing this work, I discovered that Hurston's tales were extremely action-oriented and were ideally suited to use in my making of Halimuhfack.ID: 031001566; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Adviser: .; Title from PDF title page (viewed August 26, 2013).; Thesis (M.F.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2012.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 55).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Zora Cross (1890–1964) is considered a minor literary figure, but 100 years ago she was one of Australia’s best-known authors. Her book of poetry Songs of Love and Life (1917) sold thousands of copies during the First World War and met with rapturous reviews. She was one of the few writers of her time to take on subjects like sex and childbirth, and is still recognised for her poem Elegy on an Australian Schoolboy (1921), written after her brother was killed in the war. Zora Cross wrote an early history of Australian literature in 1921 and profiled women authors for the Australian Woman’s Mirror in the late 1920s and early 1930s. She corresponded with prominent literary figures such as Ethel Turner, Mary Gilmore and Eleanor Dark and drew vitriol from Norman Lindsay. This thesis presents new ways of understanding Zora Cross beyond a purely literary assessment, and argues that she made a significant contribution to Australian juvenilia, publishing history, war history, and literary history.

Udedi, Michael Mphatso MacDonald. « Health service utilization by patients with common mental disorder identified by the SRQ-20 in a primary care setting in Zomba, Malawi : a descriptive study ». Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/85581.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis (MPhil)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Health service utilization by people with mental health problems seem to be a large public health issue, especially in low-income countries. In Malawi, the situation is not different from other developing countries in Sub-Saharan Africa as far as access to services for people with mental health problems is concerned. Non specialized health care workers provide mental health services in the primary care settings in Malawi and, given the workload at primary health care (PHC) setting level, little time is available to screen for mental disorders, hence these may go unrecognized. Therefore, there is a possibility that a significant proportion of patients attending primary care in Malawi may have common mental disorders (CMD) and may be deprived of routine screening. Consequently, the possibility of misdiagnosis may lead to higher service utilization by people with common mental health problems. However, no study has been carried out to assess the health service utilization by people with common mental disorders in Malawi. Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate health services utilization patterns of patients with CMDs in primary care clinics. Methods: This was a quantitative study employing a cross-sectional descriptive design. The study was conducted in two primary health care clinics in one of the 28 districts in Malawi. The study included all consecutive patients aged 18 years and older who attended the primary health care clinics for any reason. Face-to-face interviews using the Self-Reporting Questionnaires (SRQ-20) were conducted in a sample of 323 primary health care attendees. Findings: The prevalence of probable CMD was 20.1%. People with CMD had a higher average number of health facility visits in the previous three months compared to those without probable CMD thus 1.6 vs. 1.19 (p-value 0.02). There was no significant difference in the average number of traditional healer visits in the previous three months between those with probable CMD and those without thus 0.05 vs. 0.08 (p-value = 0.565). The total average number of both health facility and traditional healer visits was 1.68 vs. 1.24 (p-value 0. 019), people with probable CMD having a higher average compared to those without a probable CMD. It was found that people who have visited the health care facility repeatedly in the past 3 months were likely to be suffering from CMD. The odds of probable CMD increased with each visit to a health facility by 1.2 (p-value=0.024). Almost all those who had probable CMD had no treatment prescribed for CMD by PHC clinicians. Conclusion: The study reveals high utilization of health services for people with CMD, as well as a treatment gap of mental health care in primary care settings. PHC workers are misdiagnosing patients with CMDs leading to high utilization of PHC services. There is need for PHC workers to improve skills in diagnosing patients with CMD to make PHC services more effective by reducing re-attendances and improving patient outcomes. There is also need to direct effort towards creating awareness about mental health and encourage patient disclosure of psychological or mental health problems.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Dit blyk dat veral in lae-inkomste lande, die gebruik van gesondheidsdienste onder mense met geestesgesondheidsprobleme `n kwellende gesondheidskwessie te wees. Malawi, soos ander ontwikkelende lande in Sub-Sahara Afrika, ervaar die probleem van toegang tot gesondheidsdienste vir mense met geestesgesondheidsprobleme. In die primêre gesondheidsdienste in Malawi, word pasiënte met geestesgesondheidsprobleme behandel, deur algemene gesondheidswerkers wat nie gespesialiseerd is in geestesgsondheid. Verder veroorsaak die arbeidslas in primêre gesondheidsorg dat daar nie altyd tyd is om pasiënte voldoende vir geestesgversteurings te ondersoek nie. Dit is daarom moontlik dat `n merkwaardige aantal pasiënte wat gebruik maak van primêre gesondheidsorg in Malawi aan algemene geestesversteurings lei, maar hulle word nie voldoende ondersoek nie en gevolglik word hulle of nie gediagnoseer nie of verkeerdelik gediagnoseer. Dit kan daartoe lei dat `n groter aantal pasiënte, met algemene geestesversteurings, gebruik maak van primêre gesondheidsdienste. Die probleem is dat daar nog geen navorsing in Malawi gedoen is, oor die gebruik van gesondheidsdienste onder mense met algemene geestesversteurings. Doelwit: Die doel van die studie is om pasiënte, met algemene geestesversteurings, se gebruik van primêre gesondheidsorg klinieke te ondersoek. Metodes: `n Dwarssnee kwantitatiewe beskrywende studie-ontwerp was gebruik. Data-insameling het by twee primêre gesondheidsorg klinieke, in een van die 28 distrikte in Malawi, plaasgevind. Pasiënte, 18-jaar en ouer, wat die primêre gesondheidsklinieke vir enige rede besoek het, was ingesluit in die studie. Die steekproef het bestaan uit 323 pasiënte wat gebruik gemaak het van primêre gesondheidsorg klinieke. Onderhoude was met pasiënte gevoer deur middel van `n self-relaas vraelys (ook verwys na as „Self-Reporting Questionnaires‟). Bevindinge: Daar was `n voorkomssyfer van 20.1% pasiënte wat waarskynlik aan algemene geestesversteurings gelei het. Mense wat waarskynlik aan algemene geestesversteurings gelei het, het in `n tydperk van drie maande gemiddeld meer gebruik gemaak van gesondheidsdienste, in vergelyking met diegene wat waarskynlik nie aan algemene geestesversteurings gelei het nie, dus 1.6 teenoor 1.19 (p-waarde van 0.02). In die gegewe drie maande was daar geen betekenisvolle verskil in die gemiddelde aantal besoeke afgelê aan tradisionele geneeshere deur pasiënte wat waarskynlik aan algemene geestesversteurings gelei het, in vergelyking met diegene wat waarskynlik nie aan geestesversteurings gelei het nie, dus 0.05 teenoor 0.08 (p-waarde= 0.565). In totaal het diegene met geestesversteuring ook gemiddeld meer besoeke, 1.68 teenoor 1.24 (p-waarde 0.019), aan beide gesondheidsorg en traditionele geneeshere afgelê het, as diegene wat waarskynlik nie aan geestesversteurings gelei het nie. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat mense wat in die afgelope drie maande herhaaldelik gebruik gemaak het van gesondheidsdienste, waarskynlik aan algemene geestesversteurings gelei het. Die moontlikheid dat `n pasiënt aan `n algemene geestesversteuring gelei het, het met 1.2 (p-waarde=0.024) verhoog met elke besoek aan die gesondheidsdienste. Byna al die pasiënte wat waarskynlik aan `n algemene geestesversteuring gelei het, het nie behandeling ontvang nie. Gevolgtrekking: Daar is bevind dat mense met algemene geestesversteurings geredelik gebruik maak van gesondheidsdienste en dat daar `n gaping is in die voorsiening van geestesgesondheidsdienste in primêre gesondheidsfasiliteite. Primêre gesondheidsorg personeel se hantering van pasiënte lei daartoe dat pasiënte met algemene geestesversteurings meer geredelik gebruik maak van primêre gesondheidsorg. Daar is `n behoefte aan die verbetering van primêre gesondheidsorg personeel se vaardighede en vermoë om pasiënte met geestesversteuring te diagnoseer en sodoende ook herhaaldelike besoeke te verminder en die gesondheidsuitkomste van pasiente te verbeter. Daar is `n behoefte aan groter bewusmaking van geestesgesondheid en om pasiënte aan te moedig om hulle sielkundige en geestesgesondheidsprobleme aan personeel te openbaar.

Ullberg, Malin. « Temporal water quality study of the heavily human-impacted Likangala River, Zomba, Malawi ». Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för geovetenskaper, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-243347.
Texte intégralRésumé :
River water is used for a range of purposes, for example irrigation, laundry, hygiene, mining of sand, as drinking water and for disposal of wastes and wastewater. These anthropogenic activities, along with agriculture and the local climate and geology will have effects on the water quality, and by extension the people living in the area. This study intends to evaluate the water quality of Likangala River, which is a perennial river in southern Malawi, during hot dry season linking it to the activities present in the direct vicinity of the urban segment of the river. A small land use survey was carried out, and eight points for water sampling chosen for analysis of a set of physio-chemical water quality parameters. Also an estimate of the water discharge of the time was made. It was found that most parameters were within the guidelines for drinking water set up by WHO (2011) and Malawi Bureau of Standards (MBS, 2008), although turbidity, manganese, iron, chromium and lead showed elevated levels. Some, but not all, parameters showed a trend with low values upstream the city and higher values downstream (except pH with a inverse trend), and almost all parameters were significantly higher in the effluents from the Zomba Sewage Works, and also directly afterwards.Flodvatten används för en rad olika ändamål, exempelvis bevattning, tvätt, hygien, utvinning av sand, som dricksvatten och för avyttrande av avfall och avloppsvatten. Dessa mänskliga verksamheter, tillsammans med effekter av jordbruk samt det lokala klimatet och geologin kommer att påverka vattenkvaliteten, och i förlängningen de människor som bor i området. Denna studie avser att utvärdera vattenkvaliteten i Likangala, som är en flod i södra Malawi, under heta torrperioden och koppla denna till de verksamheter som finns i dess direkta närhet längs den urbana sträckningen av floden. En liten kartläggning av markanvändning genomfördes, och åtta platser för vattenprovtagning valdes ut för analys av ett antal fysio-kemiska vattenkvalitets- parametrar. Också en uppskattning av vattenföring gjordes. Det visade sig att de flesta parametrar var inom riktlinjerna för dricksvatten som inrättats av WHO (2011) och Malawi Bureau of Standards (MBS, 2008), även om turbiditet, mangan, järn, krom och bly visade förhöjda halter. Vissa, men inte alla, parametrar visade en trend med låga värden uppströms staden och högre värden nedströms (förutom pH med en inverterad trend), och nästan alla parametrar var betydligt högre i spillvattnet från Zomba vattenreningsverk, och även direkt efteråt.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Zara Neale Purston has re-emerged as an author of promise due to the re-appraisal of her works led by Alice Walker and Robert Hemenway. In both literary and folklore academic circles, Hurston's work has been reclaimed by African-American female scholars and writers, but still a significant study has yet to be done about her ethnographic contributions to folklore and her farsightedness in fieldwork methodology. This thesis seeks to validate her work as a folklorist, thereby dismissing the charges of popularization and amateurishness by re-examining her work. Mules and Men and Jonah's Gourd Vine are Hurston's two most influential folklore texts and will be evaluated for their approach and contribution to the study of ethnography.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mitt Examensarbete våren 2009 har skett i samarbete med zobra, ett belysningsföretag med bas i Vimmerby. Deras inriktning är att utveckla, tillverka och marknadsföra funktions-riktig belysning med god design för offentlig miljö.
Jag tog själv kontakt med zobra inför examensarbetet och har inte utgåttfrån ett specifikt uppdrag, men i samstämmighet med företaget har jaglagt fokus på att tillföra något i deras produktsegment Inredning och dekoration.
Målet med projektet har varit att, med ett nära samarbete med zobra, ta framen korridorbelysning vars produktion kan ske helt lokalt. Den tänkta platsenför belysningen är satt till hotell där användaren är både gäst och anställd.
Jag har valt att kalla den slutliga produkten Papercut. Namnet kommer från tillverkningens likheter med att klippa och vika papper vilket de flesta kan knyta an till.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mitt examensarbete våren 2009 har gjorts i samarbete med belysningsföretaget zobra, som är beläget i Vimmerby. Uppdraget har handlat om att ta fram en armatur till deras relativt nystartade linje ”inredning och dekoration”, en armatur som är dekorativ. Arbetet har till stor del handlat om armaturens uttryck och ljus samt färg och form.Eftersom zobra inte har en etablerad kundkrets för ”inredning och dekoration”har arbetet även fokuserat kring att ta fram en potentiell framtida kund och göra en armatur som kan uppfylla dennes behov.I mitt projekt valde jag att jobba mot hotellfoajéer där armaturen ska locka besökaren att sätta sig i foajén, men den ska även belysa den på ett behagligt sätt för hotellets personal och besökare.När jag planerade produktionen av den här lampan ville jag att dess tillverkning skulle vara miljövänlig och enkel. Detta påverkade materialvalen jag gjorde under arbetet. Målet var att använda få material för att hålla det miljövänligt framförallt vad det gäller återvinning.Min slutliga produkt heter Tool. Namnet uttrycker vad du ser i armaturen och ger en förklaring till dess ursprungliga inspirationskälla.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il lavoro di tesi riguarda lo studio dettagliato di un medicane, verificatosi fra Mar Ionio e Grecia tra il 27 e il 29 settembre 2018, tramite un’analisi dinamica con l’utilizzo di dati di rianalisi ERA5 del centro meteo europeo ECMWF e un’analisi microfisica tramite dati di TB, intensità di precipitazione e probabilità di grandine ricavati dalla costellazione GPM. Nel primo capitolo è fornita una descrizione delle principali caratteristiche dei cicloni tropicali e dei TLC evidenziando analogie e differenze e indicando come la formazione di questi ultimi sia spesso il risultato dell’evoluzione dei cicloni extra-tropicali baroclini nel Mediterraneo; si riporta, inoltre, una breve analisi climatologica dei medicane, un elenco dei principali casi verificatisi negli ultimi decenni e una breve panoramica sullo stato dell’arte relativa al loro studio; infine è fornita una descrizione di come si forma la grandine e delle condizioni atmosferiche che ne favoriscono la crescita. Nel secondo capitolo sono illustrati nel dettaglio tutti gli strumenti utilizzati per l’analisi e gli algoritmi. Nel terzo capitolo è fornita una descrizione sinottica del ciclone in modo da inquadrare a livello generale la dinamica del ciclone e il contesto nel quale è inserito. Nel quarto capitolo sono presentate nella prima parte le variabili utilizzate suddivise in tre gruppi principali e si spiegano i metodi utilizzati per il lavoro di analisi; nella seconda parte sono presentati tutti i principali risultati ottenuti con una descrizione prevalentemente della dinamica del sistema tramite i dati ERA5 seguita da una descrizione microfisica dell’evento tramite i dati della costellazione GPM. Si sono individuate le fasi del ciclo vitale del ciclone ed è riportata un’analisi di alcuni elementi che ne hanno caratterizzato la dinamica; l’elemento innovativo del lavoro è la descrizione della grandine nel corso dell’evento messa in relazione con le fasi del ciclo vitale del ciclone.

Sittig, Jennifer M. « Zora Neale Hurston and the Narrative Aesthetics of Dance Performance ». FIU Digital Commons, 2015. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/2303.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Zora Neale Hurston’s literature involves dance and performance. What makes this a viable topic of inquiry is her texts often exhibit the performative, whether portraying culture or using dance and associated folk rituals to create complex meaning. Hurston’s use of black vernacular and storytelling evokes lyrical expression in "Their Eyes Were Watching God." African and Caribbean Diasporas in Hurston’s literature reflects primitive dance performances and folklore. This novel requires lyrical analysis. The storytelling feature of performance arts and reclamations of the body are present in Hurston’s text. In recent academic settings, the body has come to occupy a crucial place in literary and cultural texts and criticism. Hurston’s versatile material and anthropology techniques are instrumental in reshaping dance history. A new archetype for theorizing the body has surfaced, where the body of text is performance and lyrical expression.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The needs of young people in classroom based HIV/AIDS Education in Malawi, the extent to which current classroom practices respond to these needs, and the factors influencing these responses have been explored using questionnaires, interviews, lesson observations, and document analysis. In contrast to previously reported literature on HIVIAIDS Education in Malawi, the present study has drawn pupils' needs directly from the pupils' themselves, focussed on classroom practice, and triangulated the various data sets to give a comprehensive picture of HIV/AIDS Education in Malawi. Pupils identified a need for open discussion climates on HIV/AIDS issues despite a conservative cultural and religious adult world that is not open. They also identified a need for explicit and accurate knowledge on HIVIAIDS issues, opportunities to acquire behavioural skills for HIV prevention, and involvement of external speakers. The needs of the pupils have not been adequately addressed by the current classroom practice. Factors which influenced this can be linked to lack of policies that are responsive to culture and religion, ineffective and inadequate teaching policy guidelines, and lack of a policy prioritising HIV/AIDS education by making it examinable. The findings suggest that in future, effective HIV/AIDS Education needs to be informed by the pupils' needs. To address these needs, support from the wider society and related policies, coupled with appropriate management and classroom practice will be required.

Singogo, Emmanuel. « Modelling survival in HIV cohorts with applications to data from Zomba, Malawi ». Thesis, Lancaster University, 2016. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/88130/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) pandemic still remains a major public health concern worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately over 70% of people living with HIV in the world are in sub-Saharan region. Malawi is one of the worst affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa with prevalence reaching up to 16% in some areas. Recent study reports, largely in Africa, comparing outcomes for HIV patients with Kaposi’s sarcoma (HIV/KS) and HIV patients without KS indicate poor prognosis and poor health outcomes amongst HIV patients with KS. While efforts are being made to improve the management and care for the HIV/KS patient group, there is also need for continued efforts to better understand the survival patterns in this patients. The work presented in this thesis attempts to investigate the survival patterns in different patient subgroups in HIV cohorts in Malawi by using advanced and novel statistical techniques with an ultimate aim of informing targeted patient treatment and management practices. In this thesis, we aim to address the following four objectives; (1) to identify risk factors for mortality among HIV patients diagnosed with Kaposi’s sarcoma during routine initiation of ART, (2) to model the survival pattern among HIV patients diagnosed with KS, (3) to model local geographical variations in survival among HIV patients on ART, (4) to quantify transition dynamics in HIV and TB co-infection using multi-state modelling. For the first two objectives, we considered extended Cox models and parametric models. We also used a novel approach of accounting for high attrition in cohorts in which we used a ’gold-standard’ data to compare survival in our cohort. Sensitivity analyses indicated consistencies in our approach providing an insight into how model results change when using this comparison approach. Overall We noted an early mortality with most patients dying in the first five months after starting HIV treatment. Patients with TB and the patients who started in the early era of ART were significantly at risk of dying. The model diagnostics indicated that (i) a random effects Cox/Log-Gaussian frailty model and (ii) a flexible parametric proportional hazards model, describe the risk of mortality in the HIV/KS patients well. For the third objective, spatial survival models were considered. The study showed existence of possible residual spatial variation in survival after adjusting for age, sex, KS status, TB status and unobserved individual frailties. To further aid our understanding, we used the choropleth maps to indicate areas with substantially high probability of mortality risk at different cut-off values. These results highlight the local geographical variations in survival in HIV populations, an element more often ignored in most studies on HIV data. For the last objective, we considered the homogeneous continuous time multistate Markov models. In this study we found that patients in TB free status had a relatively higher probability of transitioning to being diagnosed with TB compared to dying while in TB free status. However, the cumulative transition hazards for the ’TB free ! death’ transitions compared to the "TB free ! TB infection" transitions were only higher during the early days of HIV treatment. This result emphasize how early periods after starting HIV treatment is crucial to ensure better prognosis. We also noted significant gender differences in the ’TB-free ! death’ transitions. It is anticipated that the findings in this thesis will help to inform treatment and management practices of HIV patients. The findings provide clear outcome pathways taken by HIV/TB patients before experiencing a terminal outcome. More importantly, the findings could help inform policies aimed at improving overall survival in HIV cohorts by establishing targeted patient management and treatment strategies and also formulating a more efficient triage system for care and treatment of particular group of patients.

Melling, Rowan. « Resistance as paradox : understanding militant activism in light of Rote Zora ». Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/58941.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis takes up the question of resistance in light of the surge of social movements throughout the world in the past several years, including the Arab Spring, Occupy, Idle No More and Black Lives Matter. It seeks to advance a new conception of resistance related to paradox by critiquing activist and academic conceptions of resistance and by conducting close readings of the writings and actions of the West German feminist guerrilla cell Rote Zora. Its critiques highlight an inability of certain theories of resistance to deal with resistance transforming into a force of oppression, as well as these theories’ lack of connection to political practice. Out of these critiques emerge the ideas of biopolitical resistance, a diversity of tactics for intervening in oppressions integrated at the individual, social and political levels, and the idea of resistance as paradoxical, having the ability to resist itself. These concepts assist in a close reading of Rote Zora’s writings and actions, which I undertake also using the tools of literary theory and criticism. I argue that Rote Zora promotes a concept of resistance involving paradox, and integrates a form of biopolitical resistance into their political practice. I situate them in the context of the politically tumultuous West Germany of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, which saw an explosion of militant activism and left-wing terrorism, as well as the rise of an autonomous women’s movement. I argue that Rote Zora offers an alternative to the dogmatic militancy practiced by their better-known contemporaries the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF). My argument is both theoretical and historical: it draws on Rote Zora to inform a critical concept of resistance that relates to practice, and it promotes a different understanding of militancy in West Germany than the ones which dominate academic discourse by including Rote Zora’s alternative mode of resistance in this history.Arts, Faculty of

Texte intégralRésumé :
Partant d'une perspective socio-historique, anthropologique et litteraire, nous avons montre que l'engouement dont l'oeuvre de zora neale hurston fait l'objet aujourd'hui constitue le meilleur temoignage de son apport a l'eveil de la conscience afro-americaine. Sans doute, sa formation d'anthropologue, ses origines rurales ainsi que les annees fastes de la renaissance de harlem a laquelle elle prit part ont-elles determine ses engagements d7artiste et d'intellectuelle noire. Quand au destin plutot terne de sa carriere, il s'explique surtout par le contexte socio-politique et litteraire de la grande depression qui la place au centre de sollicitations multiples dues aux pressions editoriales et a l'apologi e d'une litterature de combat par les nationalistes noirs et les communistes. Ses travaux d'anthropologie traitent non seulement des croyances et des pratiques du vaudou, mais ils comportent aussi des textes de tradition orale regorgeant de strategies de survie. L'auteur s'en inspire pour investir ses textes de fiction des vertus tant de la pensee imageant e que des techniques de diction relevant du genre oratoire. Il s'agit du "call-and response" et du "signifin(g)" tandis que le balck english recoit ses lettres de noblesse. Les themes abordes dans les ouvrages de fiction refletent egalement son appreciation du folklore afro-americain en tant que facteur d'autonomie culturelle a promouvoir, l'introduction plus affirmee du feminisme noir dans le roman, de meme qu'une certaine vision du concept de double conscience qui habite l'afro-americain. Aussi, l'action des mouvements de revendication d'originalite culturelle des annees 60 et 70 et les tendances nouvelles de la litterature afro-americaine comportent-elles une marque de son influenceUsing a socio-historical, anthropological and literary perspective, we have shown that today's infatuation for zora neale hurston's work reflects how much she contributed to african american consciousness. Her anthropological training, her rural origins as well as the harlem renaissance movement to which she took part in fostering black awareness, determined her artistic and intellectual commitments. However, the socio-political and literary context of the great depression afflicted her career as she was subject to pressures from publishers, the black nationalists and the communists. Zora neale hurston's anthropological works provide descriptions in the voodoo pratices and beliefs while her collection of folktales is a set of survival strategies which contains hidden social and philosophical messages. In addition to the use of black english in fiction, these "lies" bring "speakerly" devices such as the call-and-response technique and the language of figuration known as "signifying(g)". Her novels mainly deal with her commitment for the preservation of african american folklore, black feminisism in the nvoel and the african american double-consciousness. Finally, it seems that not only the cultural demands expressed by the black movements in the 1960s' and 1970s', but also the new trends of the african american litterature must have been influenced in some way by zora neale hurston's productions

Texte intégralRésumé :
Il presente elaborato si concentra sulla proposta di sottotitolaggio in italiano del documentario slovacco Prekladateľka Zora Jesenská, “Zora Jesenská, traduttrice” (2016). Si tratta di una riflessione sulle tecniche di sottotitolazione e di un’analisi delle scelte traduttive fatte dopo aver concluso la redazione di una proposta di traduzione del prodotto originale, basatasi sia direttamente sul parlato del documentario, sia sulla trascrizione in slovacco dello stesso. L’elaborato contiene inoltre una parte che tratta del contenuto del film e del ciclo di documentari slovacchi di cui fa parte. È infatti strutturato come segue.
L’introduzione spiega le ragioni che hanno spinto la candidata a scegliere questo tipo di tema e sintetizza gli argomenti dei singoli capitoli. Il primo capitolo tratta della figura della traduttrice slovacca Zora Jesenská, su cui si incentra il documentario, nonché del ciclo Prvá – Prima, in cui si inserisce, insieme ad altre nove produzioni, il film in questione. In seguito, nel secondo capitolo vengono analizzate le tecniche seguite nel campo della sottotitolazione, le scelte adottate per rendere il prodotto finale con i sottotitoli in italiano quanto più possibile fruibile per un nuovo tipo di pubblico. Il terzo capitolo guarda poi alle scelte specificatamente traduttive, grazie ad un confronto dal punto di vista linguistico e lessicale tra la lingua di partenza (lo slovacco) e quella di arrivo (l’italiano). Nelle conclusioni si riassumono brevemente i punti chiave dell’elaborato e si chiarisce il grande potenziale di arricchimento che questo tipo di lavoro può avere.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The recent trend in Anthropology has been to focus on new ways of representing ethnographic experience through the use of interpretive techniques in writing. Although these postmodern approaches are innovative, there are superlative examples of multi-vocality and the mixing of genres in early ethnographic writing. Zora Neale Hurston was one such writer. An African-American, she studied the rural blacks from the South, Haiti, Jamaica, and her home town of Eatonville, florida, and reconstructed their lives and folklore in her novels and ethnographies. We must question why such a gifted writer and ethnographer is rarely read by anthropologists, despite her re-emergence and recent fame in literary and popular circles. An examination of her work shows why her obscurity in anthropology should not continue.

Blanc, Carline. « Écrire le folklore : subversions épistémiques chez Zora Neale Hurston et Toni Morrison ». Thesis, Paris Est, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PESC0050/document.
Texte intégralRésumé :
La thèse s’attache à démontrer comment l’utilisation du folklore, en tant que discipline et que matériau, agit de façon subversive dans les travaux de Zora Neale Hurston et Toni Morrison. Un questionnement autour du folklore (nature et origine des objets d’étude, délimitation et positionnement de la discipline) donne un nouvel éclairage sur des problématiques porteuses dans le domaine littéraire, comme la définition des identités ou la mise en place des relations de pouvoir. Une approche transdisciplinaire permet, en plus de convoquer différents champs du savoir, d’observer de quelle manière ils peuvent s’infléchir entre eux. Par son double statut d’anthropologue et d’auteure de fiction, Hurston incarne une relation d’interdépendance et de dialogue entre matériau littéraire et folklorique. Son œuvre polymorphe, qui entremêle fiction et folklore, langue vernaculaire et écriture poétique, met en relief des enjeux épistémologiques, politiques et littéraires centraux dans l’œuvre de Morrison et permettent de mieux comprendre sa construction d’un discours orienté vers la pluralité et la performance. L’oralité, dans sa relation avec la littérature, constitue le point d’entrée de la recherche. La dynamique de variation, centrale à toute étude de la tradition orale est largement utilisée dans ces œuvres et va dans le sens d’une esthétique de la plasticité et de la polyphonie. La seconde partie s’intéresse au surnaturel et à la croyance qui, dans leur prise en charge, fonctionnent comme outil de subversion par la revalorisation des « savoirs discrédités ». Le positionnement de Hurston dans l’évolution du folklore en tant que discipline encourage à reconsidérer l’appellation de réalisme magique pour les romans de Morrison. Enfin, la mise en place d’un système d’interprétations alternatives et de sous-textes concurrents, en particulier en relation à la religion et aux contes, promeut la pluralité des possibilités herméneutiques qui agit pour la réhabilitation de discours minorés par des discriminations de classe, de race, de genre et de statut institutionnelThe present work seeks to demonstrate how the use of folklore, both as a discipline and as objects, leads to subversion in the works of Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison. A questioning of folklore (nature and origin of the items, definition of the discipline) sheds new light on literary issues such as identity formation and assignation or power relationships. In a transdiciplinary approach that goes beyond using resources from separate fields, this study aims at assessing how much they modify one another. Because she was both an anthropologist and a fiction writer, Hurston embodies the interaction between literary and folkloric materials. Her polymorphic work blends fiction with folklore and vernacular with poetic language. The epistemological, political and literary issues it reveals are crucial to Morrison’s writing and allow a better understanding of her crafting of a discourse oriented towards plurality and performance. The study of the interplay between orality and literature shows that variation, central to the oral tradition, infuses the corpus, promoting plurality and polyphony. The second part focuses on beliefs and the supernatural: their endorsement challenges a hierarchical order by giving value back to « discredited knowledge. » Hurston’s positioning within folklore as a discipline and its evolution leads to a reexamination of the concept of « magical realism » used for Morrison’s novels. Finally, a system of alternate interpretation and competing subtexts, especially concerning religion and folktales, supports multiplicity in the interpretative possibilities and enables the rehabilitation of forms of discourse depreciated because of social, racial, gender and institutional discriminations

Texte intégralRésumé :
O presente trabalho de doutorado focaliza as construções de feminilidade negra no conto não publicado \"Under The Bridge\", de Zora Neale Hurston assim como os já publicados \"Sweat\", \"Spunk\" e \"The Gilded Six-Bits\" em comparação com \"Roselily\", \"Really, Doesn\'t Crime Pay?\", \"Coming Apart\" e \"Porn\", da autora contemporânea Alice Walker. Ao supor que Alice Walker \'significa\' ou \'relê\' o trabalho de Hurston, que escreveu durante a época da Renascença no Harlem, a tese tem como objetivo investigar os elos de ligação entre as duas escritoras, focalizando a maneira pela qual suas protagonistas femininas contestam ou aceitam os parâmetros determinantes do \"verdadeiro culto de feminilidade\". Conclui-se que a apresentação das personagens femininas pelas escritoras negras simbolicamente questiona a representação da sexualidade e racismo como uma tentativa de tornar visível o processo de libertação das amarras da sociedade americana no momento de cada produção literária, contribuindo desse modo para o desenvolvimento da crítica literária negra. Na introdução desse trabalho, um panorama sobre o desenvolvimento da escrita por mulheres negras é apresentado, considerando-se leitores não pertencentes ao contexto cultural norte-americano, especialmente pelo fato da tese ser desenvolvida no Brasil. Portanto, essa seção focaliza alguns aspectos sobre a vida de Zora Neale Hurston e Alice Walker, assim como os fatores históricos, sociais e ideológicos que influenciaram a formação dessas autoras. No primeiro capítulo, dedicado à análise dos contos de Hurston, é essencial entender como a violência psicológica cometida contra as personagens femininas por seus parceiros é denunciada no gênero do conto, já que a tradicional dicotomia dominação masculina e subordinação feminina é perpetuada. Embora Hurston não desenvolva protagonistas autônomas e independentes, a escritora outorga o poder a essas personagens por meio da ligação com as raízes culturais. O capítulo divide-se em três momentos: o espaço do lar nas relações matrimoniais, o espaço cósmico/ simbólico na constituição das personagens e o espaço da linguagem no uso do inglês negro vernacular como meio de afirmação. O segundo capítulo traz a análise dos contos de Alice Walker como \"Roselily\" e \"Really, Doesn\'t Crime Pay? , inseridos na coletânea In Love & Trouble- Stories of Black Women e \"Coming Apart\" e \"Porn\", da coletânea You Can\'t Keep a Good Woman Down. O capítulo demonstra a agência das protagonistas e a maneira pela qual as opressões sofridas por instituições como a família, o casamento, os meios de comunicação por meio das imagens de revistas pornográficas e os estereótipos criados pela tradição branca limitam as possibilidades da agência feminina. Dessa forma, a questão da agência mostra-se relacionada às identidades negociadas a partir do momento em que as normas de feminilidade são (des) construídas. Diferentemente do primeiro capítulo em que as vozes de Vangie, Delia Jones, Lena e Missie May se inter-cruzam na análise, optou-se aqui por uma divisão temática. Logo, \"Papéis de Gênero no Espaço das Relações Matrimoniais\" e \"Questionando Identidades\" referem-se aos contos \"Roselily\" e \"Really, Doesn\'t Crime Pay?\" Os contos que abordam a questão da pornografia, \"Coming Apart\" e \"Porn\", são trabalhados nos itens: \"Reificação das Mulheres\", \"O Espaço Pornográfico\" e \"Tornando-se Sujeitos\" No terceiro capítulo verificam-se as diferenças de agência feminina em resposta aos parâmetros de feminilidade negra assim como analisam-se as estratégias narrativas usadas por ambas escritoras. De início, os fundamentos teóricos de Harold Bloom sobre a \'angústia da influência\' e os escritos feministas sobre a tradição literária das mulheres a partir do século XIX abrem caminhos para o trabalho crítico de \"significação\" proposto por Henry Louis Gates. No contexto negro, significar sugere a repetição do passado, mas com a inserção de novos elementos. Com base nessa teoria, o capítulo estabelece Hurston como a pioneira no desenvolvimento da tradição da escrita negra feminina ao relacioná-la com sua contemporânea Alice Walker. Ao utilizar teorias do multiculturalismo crítico propostas por Gates e Homi Bhabha e do dialogismo de Mikhail Bakhtin, o capítulo considera a desconstrução do signo negro, a transformação dos sujeitos da cultura no processo de (não) desestabilização dos papéis de feminilidade negra e propõe uma classificação acerca dos tipos de agência segundo os postulados de lingüistas-antropólogos. No início desse capítulo, assim como nos anteriores, um breve resumo dos principais tópicos a serem abordados é apresentado bem como uma conclusão parcial. Em considerações finais, as principais questões suscitadas no decorrer do trabalho são retomadas. O processo de significação em que Walker revisita a obra de Hurston aponta para as distintas caracterizações de suas respectivas personagens no gênero de contos. Nesse sentido, é possível pensar na multiplicidade de representações da mulher negra e suas especificidade no processo de libertação das amarras opressoras da sociedade excludente.This doctoral research analyzes from a Brazilian perspective the constructions of black womanhood in Zora Neale Hurston\'s unpublished short-story \"Under the Bridge\" and published short stories \"Sweat\", \"Spunk\", and \"The Gilded Six-Bits\". The Hurston stories are compared to \"Roselily\", \"Really, Doesn\'t Crime Pay?\", \"Coming Apart\" and \"Porn\", written by the contemporary author Alice Walker. Taking as a starting point that Alice Walker\'s narratives \'signify\' on the work of Hurston, who wrote during The Harlem Renaissance (1920), this thesis aims to investigate the threads that connect both writers by focusing on the ways in which their female protagonists question or accept the parameters of \"the cult of true womanhood\". The conclusion shows that the portrayal of black women characters symbolically questions representations of sexuality and racism in an attempt to make visible the process of liberation from the constraints of American society at the time of each author\'s literary production. Thus the authors contribute to the development of black literary criticism as well as to the tradition of black women writers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Masters of ArtZora Neale Hurston is a significant figure in American fiction and is strongly associated with the Harlem Renaissance, the period noted for the emergence of literature by people of African-American descent. Hurston worked as a writer of fiction and of anthropological research and this mini-thesis will discuss aspects of her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, first published in 1937. While the novel traces the psychological development of the central female character, Janie Mae Crawford and, thus, demonstrates several features of a conventional Bildungsroman, the novel also contains some intriguing innovations in respect of narration and voice. These innovations imply that the novel can be read in terms of the qualities commonly associated with the Modernist novel. This contention becomes significant when it is understood that a considerable degree of critical responses to the novel have discounted these connections. The novel is widely accepted to be a story about a woman’s journey to self-actualisation through the relationships she has with the men in her life. Much of the criticism related to the novel is based on this aspect of it, with many stating that Janie’s voice is often silenced by the third-person narrator at crucial moments in the text and that, as a consequence, she does not achieve complete self-actualisation by the end of the novel. This thesis will examine the significance of the shifts between first-person and thirdperson narration and the manifestations of other voices or means of articulation, which give the novel a multi-vocal quality. The importance of this innovation will also be considered, particularly when it is taken into account that Hurston sought to incorporate some elements associated with the oral tradition into her work as a writer of fiction.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorA presente dissertação possui dois objetivos principais. O primeiro, presente na parte I, é analisar a construção identitária feminina da personagem principal da obra Their Eyes Were Watching God, de Zora Neale Hurston. Sendo assim, a primeira parte desta dissertação é composta de quatro capítulos, sendo que ao longo dos três primeiros, antes da discussão propriamente dita, o trabalho busca aproximar o leitor da discussão. Para isso, os três capítulos iniciais têm o intuito de deixar o leitor familiarizado primeiro com a autora, depois com suas obras e, por último, com o momento histórico vivido pelos Estados Unidos no período do movimento cultural afro-americano conhecido como Harlem Renaissance. O segundo objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a tradução da obra, Seus Olhos Viam Deus, para o português e, se possível, fazer sugestões para as encruzilhadas e obstáculos tradutórios que porventura tenham sido enfrentados pelo tradutor. Esta dissertação visa com isso apresentar soluções que possam ser utilizadas em futuras traduções de obras de escritoras afro-americanas para o português do Brasil. Portanto, para isso, a segunda e a terceira parte deste trabalho, compostas de mais três capítulos, trazem uma revisão sobre as teorias tradutórias recentes e, em perspectiva inovadora, destacam pontos a serem abordados na discussão
The present dissertation has two main goals. The first, in part I, is to analyze the construction of the female identity of the main character of the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston. Therefore, four chapters compose the first part of this work. In the first three, before the discussion, the text tries to bring the readers closer to the discussion still to come. In order to do this, these initial chapters aim to make the reader more familiar with the author, then with her work, and, last but not least, with the historical moment in the United States during the period of the African-American cultural movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. The second goal is to analyze the translation of the novel, Seus Olhos Viam Deus, to Portuguese and, if possible, to make suggestions for the translation crossroads and obstacles that the translator might have faced. By doing this, this dissertation aims to present solutions that may be used in future translations to Brazilian Portuguese of works by African-American writers. Therefore, the parts II and III of this work, which are composed by three more chapters, bring a literary review about recent translation theories and, through an innovative perspective, detach a few points which are going to be subsequently discussed.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Despite consensus on their significant nutritional value, wild foods are continually excluded from both food security statistics and economic values of natural resources. Though largely unexplored, there is evidence on the use of wild foods by children to supplement their diets and as a source of income. Children have knowledge on the gathering and hunting of selected wild food species and sources thereof. Wetlands, agro-ecosystems, natural forests, human landscapes and river systems remain important sources of wild food resources. The provision of and access to these resources are significantly affected by the interference and disruption to natural ecosystems. In Malawi, interference has been largely due to deforestation and land use change caused by an interplay of pressures from population growth for development and agricultural expansion. Against this background, the implications of deforestation and vegetation cover on the availability of wild foods and their access and use by children is largely unexplored. Through a comprehensive analysis of data collected from 150 children and 50 elderly men and women, the integration of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) exercises and Geographic Information System (GIS), in the four sites of Mpheta, Mtuluma, Kasonga and Makombe in Zomba district, wild foods availability was established and their contribution to the nutritional status of children and households’ food security assessed. Study sites were identified along the deforestation gradient of Lake Chilwa, Zomba Mountain and Shire River basin with an additional focus on varying landscapes. One hundred and twenty species of wild foods were identified with greatest availability in areas of high vegetation cover and the lowest in areas of low vegetation cover, but with meaningful differences per wild food category. There was considerable reduction in the availability of wild foods with increasing deforestation; mainly wild game and fruits species and, in turn, decreased access of these by children. Nevertheless, small game, insects, other wild fruits and wild vegetables thrive well in agro-ecosystems and therefore were minimally affected by deforestation but largely by management practices of those systems and can be possibly improved through the promotion of agro-ecological farming systems. The research reveals that wild foods form an important component of the starch based diets of households from agricultural communities in the various landscapes. Besides securing the household’s food base, all children largely supplemented their diets with wild foods but with increased dependence by children from poorer households who are highly vulnerable to food insecurity. Access and use of wild foods was largely dependent on children’s knowledge, perceptions of the wild food and ease of access, with considerable variations due to gender and socio-cultural norms. Besides contributing to the nutritional status and food security, commercialisation of wild foods was common among children, hence providing them with an alternative livelihood strategy and in some cases only viable source of income.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Magister Public Health - MPHThe introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) brought new hope to HIV patients as it has transformed a fatal disease to a chronic manageable condition. In 2009 there were over 920,000 Malawians infected with HIV and 110,000 new infections. Malawi like other countries in the sub-Saharan Africa has made great strides in ensuring access to ART. The government of Malawi introduced free antiretroviral therapy (ART) in June 2004. By 2010, a total of 250,987 patients in the country were receiving ART. The success of ART requires, amongst others, a sustained adherence rate to medication of more than 95% to prevent viral replication and the development of drug resistant HIV strains. Identifying the factors that influence adherence is essential for the long-term success of public ART programmes. This study explored patient, socio-economic, cultural, and religious and health systems factors that influence adherence to ART in Zomba district in Malawi. An explorative qualitative study was conducted amongst ART patients and health workers in four health facilities in Zomba district of the Southern Region of Malawi. Data collection was through individual in-depth interviews with 25 ART patients and semi-structured key informant interviews with 13 health workers that were actively involved in the ART programme. Data was audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic and content analysis of transcribed data was done. The study found high individual commitment, having social support from family and friends and continuous good counselling to be facilitators to adherence to ART. HIV-related stigma and discrimination, none disclosure of HIV status, lack of partner support, travelling to attend funerals and religious beliefs were noted barriers to adherence. Health system factors such as congestion in the clinic, negative staff attitudes and a lack of privacy at the pharmacy were also identified as barriers to clinic attendance and keeping appointments. Although pill burden was not mentioned, patients reported drug reactions as a barrier to adherence. Although there is good road network in the district, transport cost was still mentioned as a hindrance to treatment adherence. Treatment success was reported to be both a facilitator and a barrier to adherence. HIV-related stigma and discrimination among people need to be addressed to increase support to PLWHIV and encourage disclosure of HIV status. The improvement of the socio-economic status of ART patients needs to be addressed to reduce dependence on support from other people and provide money to make follow-up appointments. The health systems need to reduce clinic congestion and waiting times so that patients are not deterred from accessing ART.

Search the library catalog for the location and call number.The government of Malawi is being lauded internationally for having ostensibly eliminated hunger within its borders through a subsidy that makes available chemical fertilizers to smallholder farmers. Development scholarship and policy have recently turned toward promoting a "new" Green Revolution in Africa for the establishment of food security and the advancement of economic development. Many view the increased use of chemical fertilizer in Malawian agriculture and the resultant rise in maize yieldsdescribed by such publications as the New York Times as the "Malawi Mirac1e"-as evidence that the prescribed NGR is indeed a recipe for success. This thesis places the subsidy in its historical and theoretical framework and discusses the extent to which production-end strategies accomplish the goals of food security. Also discussed are nonproduction measures that are essential to creating a reliable and accessible food system.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The figuration of Janie in Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God is an undeniable contestation of gender oppression. The contours of previous criticism have mapped out various directions of arguments, some of which make feminism a sort of critical mantra of Hurston criticism. In spite of such existing claims that the novel challenges the premises of women’s oppression within the African American social milieu, a closer look at the text shows that critics have not exhausted all that needs to be said on this subject. This essay premises its argument on the assertion that Their Eyes protests entrenched patriarchy and middle class or bourgeois capitalism. These two ideologies dominate Janie’s grandmother’s mind, and compel her to teach the protagonist to submit and accept inferior gender status, hence affirming the argument that women as well as men contribute to the existing patriarchal order. Indoctrinated into this system by her grandmother, Janie experiences three marriages that make her realize that she can no longer live according to her grandmother’s wishes. Instead, she makes personal efforts to denounce capitalist patriarchy in order to live her life to the fullest. She explicitly tells her friend Pheoby, “Ah done lived Grandma’s way, now Ah means to live mine” (114). Janie’s process of self discovery brings to the surface complex gender oppression which cross the racial and class divide. My project will use radical feminist and Marxist feminist theories to look at Janie’s three oppressive marriages, her support at the trial from white women, and the feminist significance of the catastrophic hurricane at the end of the novel. This natural phenomenon, I intend to argue, is symbolic of a feminist, anti-capitalist revolt which powerfully articulates Marx’s theory with regards to capitalism’s appropriation of women and nature for purposes of exploitation.Thesis ([M.A.] - Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Science, Dept. of English

Texte intégralRésumé :
Zora Neale Hurston is a complicated figure whose work has always aroused contradictory responses. During her lifetime she was often more readily appreciated by white readers who enjoyed her boisterous accounts of apparently unthreatening 'Negroes', than by other African American writers who felt that she pandered to white stereotypes, simplifying the black experience and the black psyche. Neglected for several decades, Hurston was again brought to the attention of literary and cultural critics in the late seventies by Robert Hemenway and Alice Walker, who published seminal reconsiderations of her work. Since then Hurston has become a central figure, not only in the African American canon, but also in the mainstream, becoming, to paraphrase the critic Hazel Carby, a veritable industry in her own right. Yet she remains a writer who evokes mixed responses. For some she is an exemplary Womanist and an uncomplicated role model. For others, though, she is a reactionary individualist who offers her readers little more than escapism and unexamined nostalgia. Particularly contested is the sort of African American space Hurston describes in her work. Centred on the all-black town of Eatonville, it has seemed to some an ideal space worth recovering for the potential it possesses for sustaining a model of authentic African American life. For others though, it has seemed an irrelevant and reactionary retreat from the complexities and realities of twentieth century life and an ideal, which has little relevance for an increasingly urban black population. In this thesis I intend to examine more closely the space and place that Hurston creates in order to argue that the Eatonville of her texts is more complex and ambiguous than either of these accounts allow.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study was aimed at assessing the implementation status of the National Decentralisation Policy in Zomba District Council in Malawi given the current situation where the council is operating without ward councilors. It also undertook an exploration of factors affecting the implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy in Zomba District Council and made recommendations which can positively contribute to the effective implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy in Zomba District Council. Using both qualitative and quantitative research design, data for the study was collected using interviews, questionnaires and document analysis. The study found that the implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy in Zomba District Council during the period under study was unsatisfactory. The major challenges to the implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy in Zomba District Council were largely linked to the absence of councilors in the current council setup, violation of legal instruments governing the implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy by the incumbent leadership, lack of political will among the ruling elite to see full implementation of the National Decentralisation Policy, poor performance of structures operating in place of ward and council committees and inadequate finances at the disposal of Zomba District Council. The study concluded that Zomba District Council needed ward councilors to fully implement the National Decentralisation Policy. However the study also observed that it would be impossible to attain the objectives of the decentralization policy if there was no political will on the part of the incumbent leadership to see the National Decentralisation Policy implemented in full at Zomba District Council.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Le bassin de ain zora est l'une des nombreuses cuvettes du rif oriental nees de la tectonique tangentielle miocene. Son heritage geomorphologique plio-pleistocene comprend une grande diversite de formations sedimentologiques et geomorphologiques. Ce bassin a fonctionne comme une cuvette endoreique depuis le debut du pliocene jusqu'a la fin du quaternaire ancien. La phase lacustre et travertineusea dure pendant toute cette periode avec des changements de facies qui traduisent des changements climatiques dans le sens d'un assechement. L'espace lacustre qui, au debut du villafranchien occupe toute la cuvette heritee de la regression messinienne, se reduit de plus en plus au cours du temps, envahit dans un premier temps par les cones de dejection de type c4 et finalement par les glacis gv etles cones de dejection c3. A partir de la periode chaude qui a succede a la periode moulouyenne, le bassin a cesse definitivement de fonctionner en cuvette endoreique. Le reseau hydrographique qui a commence a se constituer et a etablir des liens avec le bassin du kert juste apres le moulouyen prend sa forme actuelle au cours du rharbien. La morphogenese actuelle est relativement active et est liee a l'action des pluies et des vents.

Erickson, Stacy M. « Animals-as-Trope in the Selected Fiction of Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison ». Thesis, University of North Texas, 1999. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2227/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In this dissertation, I show how 20th century African-American women writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Toni Morrison utilize animals-as-trope in order to illustrate the writers' humanity and literary vision. In the texts that I have selected, I have found that animals-as-trope functions in two important ways: the first function of animal as trope is a pragmatic one, which serves to express the humanity of African Americans; and the second function of animal tropes in African-American women's fiction is relational and expresses these writers' "ethic of caring" that stems from their folk and womanist world view. Found primarily in slave narratives and in domestic fiction of the 19th and early 20th centuries, pragmatic animal metaphors and/or similes provide direct analogies between the treatment of African-Americans and animals. Here, these writers often engage in rhetoric that challenges pro-slavery apologists, who attempted to disprove the humanity of African-Americans by portraying them as animals fit to be enslaved. Animals, therefore, become the metaphor of both the abolitionist and the slavery apologist for all that is not human. The second function of animals-as-trope in the fiction of African-American women writers goes beyond the pragmatic goal of proving African-Americans's common humanity, even though one could argue that this goal is still present in contemporary African-American fiction. Animals-as-trope also functions to express the African-American woman writer's understanding that 1) all oppressions stem from the same source; 2) that the division between nature/culture is a false onethat a universal connection exists between all living creatures; and 3) that an ethic of caring, or relational epistemology, can be extended to include non-human animals. Twentieth-century African-American writers such as Hurston, Walker, and Morrison participate in what anthropologists term, "neototemism," which is the contemporary view that humankind is part of nature, or a vision that Morrison would most likely attribute to the "folk." This perspective places their celebration of the continuous relations between humans and animals within a spiritual, indeed, tribal, cosmological construction. What makes these particular writers primarily different from their literary mothers, however, is a stronger sense that they are reclaiming the past, both an African and African-American history. What I hope to contribute with this dissertation is a new perspective of African-American women writers' literary tradition via their usage of animals as an expression of their "ethic of caring" and their awareness that all oppression stems from a single source.
