Wanis, Narimane. "Préoccupations éthiques et agir enseignant : gestion du conflit interculturel en classe de FLE. Une étude de cas en Égypte". Electronic Thesis or Diss., CY Cergy Paris Université, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023CYUN1237.
Abstract (sommario):
Cette recherche s'inscrit dans le champ de la didactique du français langue étrangère (FLE) et dans le sillon des recherches sur l'interculturel et l'agir enseignant. Elle s'attache précisément à comprendre le phénomène des conflits interculturels et leur gestion par les enseignants égyptiens de FLE. Elle vise également à s'interroger sur la perception des conflits interculturels du point de vue des enseignants et notamment sur leurs préoccupations éthiques : préoccupations liées à leur agir, à leur responsabilité et à leur devoir. Au sein de la classe de langue, l'enseignant se trouve face à des situations conflictuelles et des malentendus interculturels, il est exposé à une réalité conflictuelle qui nécessite un certain agir guidé par des valeurs interculturelles. Quelles sont les représentations des enseignants sur l'interculturel et les conflits interculturels ? Quelles sont les préoccupations éthiques des enseignants face au conflit interculturel ? Comment gèrent-ils le conflit interculturel et quelles sont les valeurs qui guident leurs actions ? Notre recherche propose une approche qui met en premier plan le discours de dix enseignants de FLE exerçant à l'institut français d'Egypte. Pour ce faire nous avons construit un dispositif de recherche qui propose aux enseignants un espace discursif où ils peuvent s'exprimer sur les conflits interculturels, leurs préoccupations éthiques et leur agir enseignant. Ce dispositif se base principalement sur deux outils de recherche : les entretiens semi-directifs et les réunions d'étude de cas de conflit interculturel. Ces outils permettent aux enseignants de parler de leurs expériences mais aussi ils les engagent dans une activité réflexive sur leur propre agir. L'étude des données a permis de découvrir, dans le discours des enseignants, la façon dont ils se situent par rapport aux conflits interculturels, leurs préoccupations éthiques et leur agir face à ces situationsThis research falls within the field of French as a Foreign Language (FFL) didactics and follows the line of research on interculturality and act of teaching. It specifically aims to understand the phenomenon of intercultural conflicts and how these conflicts are managed by Egyptian teachers. It also seeks to question the teacher's perception of intercultural conflicts, particularly their ethical preoccupations, related to their actions, responsibility, and duty. Teachers are facing conflictual situations and intercultural misunderstandings, and they are exposed to a conflictual reality that requires action guided by intercultural values. What are teacher's representations of interculturality and intercultural conflicts? What are teacher's ethical concerns regarding intercultural conflict? How do they manage intercultural conflict and what values guide their actions? Our research proposes an approach that foregrounds the words of ten FLE teachers working at the French Institute in Egypt. In order to do so, we have constructed a research framework that provides teachers with a discursive space where they can express themselves on intercultural conflicts, their ethical concerns, and their teaching actions. This framework is primarily based on two research tools: semi-directive interviews and intercultural conflict case study meetings. These tools allow teachers to talk about their experiences and be engaged in reflective activities on their own actions. The study of the data has revealed what do teachers think about intercultural conflicts, what their ethical concerns are, and what their actions are in these situations

Vu, Hoang Linh. "Gestion du conflit et management interculturel dans le canal de distribution : une analyse des déterminants et des effets du conflit sur la satisfaction des acteurs. Application au cas de la grande distribution au Vietnam". Aix-Marseille 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009AIX24005.
Abstract (sommario):
Dans un contexte d’internationalisation de la grande distribution et de multiplication des échanges entre acteurs issus de pays et de culture variés, la question de l’ajustement mutuel entre fournisseurs des pays d’accueil et distributeurs étrangers devient essentielle. Cette thèse se concentre sur cette problématique. Elle analyse le conflit et les mécanismes d’ajustement entre la grande distribution et ses fournisseurs du pays d’accueil dans le cas du Vietnam. Elle se fonde sur l’analyse des déterminants et des conséquences du conflit sur la satisfaction des acteurs en considérant la culture comme une variable clé. Quatre champs théoriques ont été mobilisés : les théories comportementales dans le canal de distribution, les théories des contrats, de la culture et de l’orientation marché. Une étude quantitative a été menée afin de tester les hypothèses de notre modèle dyadique. Les résultats indiquent que la culture organisationnelle reste une variable essentielle dans l’explication du conflit, de ses déterminants, modes de résolution et conséquences sur la satisfaction des acteursIn a context of internationalization of large retailers and increased exchanges between companies from diverse countries and cultures, the issue of mutual adjustment between local suppliers in host countries and foreign retailers is essential. This research focuses on this issue. We analyze conflict and adjustment mechanisms between retailers and suppliers in the host country, in the case of Vietnam. Our analysis outlines the determinants and consequences of conflict on the satisfaction of stakeholders, considering culture as a key variable. Four theoretical fields have been mobilized: behavioral theories in the distribution channel, contract, culture and market orientation theories. A quantitative study was conducted to test the hypothesis of our dyadic model. The results indicate that the culture organizational remains a key variable in explaining conflict, its determinants, methods of resolution and impact on stakeholders’ satisfaction

Solórzano, Carlos. "Pour une sociodidactique du plurilinguisme : Le cas de l'Education Interculturelle Bilingue pour les peuples indigènes du Honduras". Thesis, Lyon, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019LYSES017.
Abstract (sommario):
La scolarisation contextualisée et en langue maternelle dans les communautés indigènes du Honduras est essentielle pour le développement socio-économique et culturel de ces peuples. Mais le projet d’éducation interculturelle bilingue mis en place actuellement, déjà adopté dans d’autres pays et pour d’autres peuples, est-il réellement adapté aux besoins spécifiques des enfants indigènes du Honduras ? Pour répondre à cette question nous avons conçu un dispositif de recherche à partir de deux communautés indigènes : celles des Ch’orti’ et de la Misquita. Notre corpus complexe et empirique est composé de deux classes filmées, de photographies d’un cahier de prise de notes d’élève, d’entretiens avec des témoins appartenant à ces deux communautés indigènes et de documents officiels et pédagogiques qui guident la mise en place du projet. Son analyse nous permet de mettre valeur la différence des cultures et situations sociolinguistiques de ces communautés et de montrer qu’elles sont prises en compte de manière partielle dans la création des dispositifs de scolarisation. Il apparaît aussi que les contacts des langues et des cultures, traités de manière précise, pourraient contribuer à la revitalisation, la récupération linguistique et la construction de l’identité indigène. Ils pourraient aussi ouvrir un dialogue interculturel efficace pour l’avenir. Finalement nous concluons en disant que le projet d’Éducation Interculturel Bilingue, s’il n’est pas à l’origine de la revitalisation et de la récupération des langues indigènes peut néanmoins influer, sous certaines conditions, de manière positive sur celles-ci. Notre étude de nature sociodidactique montre que les actions et les initiatives entreprises par les acteurs pour l’éducation des enfants indigènes ne s’adapte donc pas entièrement à leurs besoins sociolinguistiques, culturels et pédagogiques. Elle débouche sur quelques perspectives pour la mise en place de stratégies pédagogiques contextualisées et pour une meilleure reconnaissance et valorisation de la diversité linguistique et culturelle de ces peuplesContextualized schooling and in mother tongue is essential for the socioeconomic and cultural development of indigenous communities in Honduras. But the Intercultural Bilingual Education project currently implemented, already adopted by other countries and for other communities, is it really adapted for the specific needs of the indigenous children in Honduras? To answer this question, we have designed a research plan based on two indigenous communities: the Ch’orti’ and the Misquito communities. Our empirical and complex corpus consists of two filmed classes, pictures from a student’s notebook, interviews with members of both indigenous communities and official and pedagogical documents which guide the project’s implementation. Its analysis allows us to accentuate the cultural differences and those of the sociolinguistic situations of these communities and to show that these elements are partially taken in account when creating the schooling instruments. It also appears that language and culture contacts, treated precisely, could contribute to the revitalization, linguistic recuperation and to the indigenous identity construction. It could also open an effective intercultural dialogue for the future. Finally, we conclude by stating that if this Intercultural Bilingual Education project is not the origin of indigenous language revitalization and recuperation, it could nevertheless influence, under certain conditions, positively over them. Our research, of sociodidactic nature, reveals that the actions and initiatives undertaken by the stakeholders for the indigenous children’s education is not entirely adapted to their sociolinguistic, cultural and pedagogical needs. It leads to some perspectives for the implementation of contextualized pedagogical strategies and a better acknowledgement and valorization of the linguistic and cultural diversity of these communities

Seo, Seonae. "Intercultural-intergenerational conflict experienced by Korean-Canadian mothers". Thesis, University of British Columbia, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/1415.
Abstract (sommario):
The purpose of this study was to obtain cross-cultural insights into the family dynamics of Korean-Canadians during their transitions as immigrants, by asking six Korean-Canadian mothers about the family conflicts they had with their children, that were of an intercultural nature.
The methodology consisted of a qualitative research design, informed by a post-positivist epistemological viewpoint. In semi-structured interviews, six Korean-Canadian mothers spoke at length about what triggered their Intercultural-Intergenerational conflict with their adolescent children, about how they responded to such conflicts, and about how they saw these conflicts in terms of their children’s cultural adaptation/identity.
Audiotapes of the interviews were transcribed, then coded and categorized according to principles of thematic analysis and grounded theory. To ensure authenticity, reflexivity was built into all stages of the research.
From the categories analyzed, there emerged six general triggers of conflict, (such as the adolescents’ style of communicating with their mothers, or the mothers’ attitudes to their children’s “culture shedding”); five general ways in which the mothers tended to respond to conflict (from emotional outbursts to attempts at adjusting); and three measures of what, for the mothers, constituted satisfactory adaptation, by the children, to the host culture (success in school, retention of Korean identity, and the ability to cope with any racism that they might encounter).
The study concludes with some suggestions for a more sophisticated social work praxis, and for service provision that reaches beyond a purely economic understanding of immigrants’ problems, as the findings speak to a high degree of complexity in a shifting immigrant demographic.

Butler, Colleen. "Intercultural conflict styles in the criminal justice system and the implications for intercultural interventions". Scholarly Commons, 2010. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/756.
Abstract (sommario):
This thesis explored the communication and conflict style contrasts between criminal justice professionals and African American defendants that can interfere with the equitable administration of justice in the criminal justice system in Dane County, Wisconsin. The focus of this research was on the potential conflict style contrasts between criminal justice professionals and African Americans because the racial disparity in the incarceration rate was greatest for African Americans. This research project began from the premise that the racial incarceration rate disparity was caused in part by differences in cultural conflict and communication styles, and it explored the intersection of power differentials and cultural conflict and communication style differentials.
The study employed the Intercultural Conflict Style Inventory, courtroom observations, and two focus groups. One focus group was composed of professionals in the criminal justice system from Dane County, Wisconsin, and the other of African Americans who have been impacted negatively by this system. All findings were used to develop specific training recommendations to help criminal justice professionals to understand conflict and communication style preferences with the intention of decreasing the disparate treatment of members of the African American community.
The combined research strategies suggested that the primary culture of the criminal justice system was consistent with European American cultural preferences for low-context, direct, and emotionally restrained communication and conflict styles, which contrasts with the general preference of the African American culture for a more emotionally expressive engagement style. While this research did not specifically indicate that intercultural miscommunication directly impacts the equitable distribution of justice in Dane County, it did suggest that cultural contrasts may be one variable contributing to the inequitable distribution of justice.

Abstract (sommario):
O presente trabalho se propõe a compreender a variabilidade cultural humana em relação à organização da família por meio das teorias darwinianas da seleção natural e da seleção sexual, e se encontra baseado em evidências vindas da comparação de dados etnográficos. Pretende-se demonstrar que existe uma alteração marcante no comportamento de todos os envolvidos nas relações familiares quando mudam as regras de herança. Essas alterações assim ocorrem porque as regras de herança direcionam o Investimento Parental Masculino (MPI), ora ao sobrinho, ora ao filho. A hipótese apresentada é a de que a variação do MPI modifica de maneira compreensível e previsível as relações familiares em organizações matrilineares e patrilineares. A prova da hipótese será feita por meio da aplicação do método intercultural com pesquisa etnográfica nos bancos de dados do HRAF, e utilizando-se da amostra PSF. Os resultados do presente trabalho indicarão que em sociedades em que o tio tem uma relação afetuosa com seu sobrinho, o marido espanca a mulher; e quando o pai se relaciona de maneira indulgente e amigável com seu filho, irmãos e irmãs se evitam, alinhando esses fatos de maneira que possam ser coerentemente entendidos com a teoria sociobiológica. A riqueza cultural, o sem número de costumes, as tradições, os tabus, as normas explícitas ou ocultas, os aparatos de coerção de toda sorte, as regras sobre herança, casamento, dote, preço da noiva, divisão de trabalho, enfim, todas as regras observadas em todos os agrupamentos humanos podem ser explicadas à luz das seguintes teorias: a) da seleção de consangüíneos (Hamilton, 1963), b) do altruísmo recíproco (Trivers, 1971), c) do investimento parental e seleção sexual (Trivers, 1972), e d) do conflito entre prole e parentais (Trivers, 1974).The present work proposes to account for cultural variability in connection to human family organization, through Darwins theories of natural selection and sexual selection. It is also founded on evidence based on the comparison of ethnographic data of diverse human societies. It intends to demonstrate that there is a significant alteration in the behavior of family members when the rules of inheritance of wealth change. These alterations are triggered because the rules of inheritance dictate the MPI Male Parental Investment sometimes in the nephew and sometimes in the son. The hypothesis is that this variation in MPI (male investment in either the nephew or the son) modifies family relations in matrilineal and patrilineal organizations in a predictable manner. The role played by MPI in determining family tensions will be shown by applying cross cultural analysis to the data obtained from HRAF (Human Relations Area Files), using PSF (Probability Sample Files). The results of the present work show that societies in which the uncles relation with his nephew is affectionate, the husband beats the wife; on the other hand, when the fathers relation with his son is indulgent and friendly, brother and sister avoid each other. This variability of behavior can be coherently explained by sociobiological theory. Cultural wealth: the innumerable customs, the traditions, the taboos, the manifest and hidden norms, the apparatus of coercion, the rules of inheritance, marriage, dowry, bride price, the division of labor, in short, all the rules observed in all human groups can be explained in the light of the following theories: a) kinship selection (Hamilton, 1963); b) reciprocal altruism (Trivers, 1971; Axelrod, 1981); c) parental investment and sexual selection (Trivers, 1972); and d) parentoffspring conflict (Trivers, 1974).

Abstract (sommario):
The Millennial Generation is a young generation now required to effectively and efficiently navigate the cultural diversity that they encounter in various group settings throughout the United States. Research has examined conflict management styles and intercultural sensitivity, but few studies have investigated these two concepts specifically within the Millennial Generation. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap that exists in the current literature through an examination of the relationship between intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles within the Millennial Generation in a hypothetical intercultural group setting. The results from 221 participants indicate that positive and negative relationships exist among the dimensions of intercultural sensitivity and conflict management styles, Millennials show a preference for conflict management styles that reflect a concern for self, and Millennials report high Interaction Confidence and low Respect for Cultural Difference. Limitations and directions for future research are also discussed.

Abstract (sommario):
Here, I bring communication theories into conversation with peace and conflict scholarship. Specifically, I explore how the ways in which women narrate their experiences of violent conflict through sewing collectives can inform conflict transformation work. I engage in this exploration within the framework of narrative theory, using Kenneth Burke’s dramatistic pentad to analyze the narratives presented in a selection of textile pieces created by women in Chile, South Africa, and Northern Ireland. I situate this project within literature pertaining to feminist approaches to rhetoric, discussions of bridgework in identity negotiation from intercultural communication, concerns related to conflict transformation, and work with socially engaged art. Finally, I bring these analyses into conversation with one another to consider how women rhetors may inform conflict transformation through their textile work. In particular, I discuss how each of these rhetors offers the narrative elements to reconstitute collective identities, providing an avenue toward peace in their own settings.

Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation investigates the conflict situations of two filmed and transcribed interactions between Brazilians and Germans, males and females. It analyzes the way of realization of the occurring conflicts from a linguistic level, regarding verbal elements (such as negative words,
hedges and interjections) and non-verbal ones (such as intonation, gestures, facial expressions) as well from a relational level, regarding strategies that concern the harmony of interaction. The linguistic elements and relational strategies can mitigate or intensify the effects of conflicts. The preferences for the use of these elements and strategies rely on cultural influences as well as on other possible factors, like individual characteristics. The results reveal different styles according to the cultural background and sex of the participants, outlining German, Brazilian, male and female styles. German men for instance manifest a
competitive conflict style, with low use of mitigating elements, whereas Brazilian men reveal an avoiding style, with higher use of mitigating elements and strategies concerning the harmony of interaction. On the other side, Brazilian and German women manifest an integrative style, with concern for listening to different points of view and an even higher use of mitigating elements. These differences show that not only the nationality but also the gender of the participants can shape the way they express themselves and behave. Moreover, they show the importance of considering a broader view for the investigation of cultural tendencies, regarding the belonging to different cultural groups and individual characteristics.Este trabalho investiga as formas de realização de conflitos por brasileiros e alemães do sexo masculino e feminino partindo das filmagens e transcrições de duas interações. A análise foi feita no nível linguístico, a partir de elementos verbais (como palavras negativas, expressões relativizadoras, marcadores conversacionais)e não verbais(como entonação, gestos, expressões faciais)e no nível relacional, a partir de estratégias voltadas para a harmonia da interação. Nota-se que tanto elementos linguísticos quanto estratégias relacionais podem atenuar ou intensificar os efeitos de conflitos, sendo que as preferências quanto ao uso desses elementos e estratégias dependem de influências culturais assim como de outros fatores, como características pessoais. Os resultados denotam diferentes estilos de acordo com a origem cultural e sexo dos participantes, revelando um estilo brasileiro, alemão, feminino e masculino. Os homens alemães apresentam um estilo mais competitivo, com baixo uso de elementos atenuadores, enquanto homens brasileiros apresentam um estilo mais evasivo, evitando conflitos e com maior uso de elementos atenuadores. Por outro lado, mulheres brasileiras e alemãs apresentam uso elevado de elementos atenuadores e um estilo mais integrativo, procurando ouvir diferentes pontos de vista. Essas diferenças mostram que não apenas a nacionalidade mas também o sexo dos participantes influenciam a forma como eles se comunicam e se comportam. Além disso, ilustram a importância de se considerar uma visão mais ampla para a investigação de tendências culturais, considerando o pertencimento a diversos grupos culturais e características pessoais.

Abstract (sommario):
Los conflictos interculturales a menudo se propagan y se mantienen en base a una defensa apasionada de puntos de vista opuestos, tanto de tipo religioso como nacionalista, por parte de miembros de una comunidad moral dispuestos a defenderlos a costa incluso de su propia vida. El conocimiento que se tiene del sustrato neurobiológico de estos “valores sagrados” o “creencias sobrevaloradas” que definen el grupo de pertenencia es bastante pobre. Hasta la fecha, no se ha publicado ningún estudio de neuroimagen realizado en el contexto de un conflicto intercultural real. Este es el primer estudio de neuroimagen que tiene como objetivo identificar los mecanismos neurales subyacentes a la disposición a luchar y morir (WFD) en defensa de valores sagrados (SVs). Por otra parte, también es el primero en estudiar valores sagrados en una población con valor “ecológico”, al incluir una muestra de varones musulmanes de origen paquistaní reclutados en el área de Barcelona (España) que expresaron puntos de vista políticos radicalizados con respecto al conflicto de Cachemira. Se empleó un paradigma de resonancia magnética funcional para evaluar tanto la actividad neuronal asociada con la WFD por sus valores sagrados como el efecto de la influencia social en la misma medida, evaluando sus reacciones de indignación moral y las posibles diferencias en su puntuación en WFD inducidas por la manipulación social. Como resultado, la WFD por SVs suscitó mayor actividad neuronal en áreas asociadas con el pensamiento deóntico, la valoración afectiva de contenido auto-relevante y la propia agencia (vmPFC / vACC), así como una disminución de la actividad en los nodos neuronales asociadas con el razonamiento utilitarista, la deliberación y la introspección (dmPFC, dlPFC, IFG). A su vez, el feedback social conflictivo suscitó respuestas de ultraje moral, medida que predijo la actividad neuronal en el opérculo parietal, asociada con el dolor y la repugnancia. Sin embargo, las puntuaciones en WFD se mostraron sensibles a la influencia social, cambiando en la dirección establecida por la norma social. Estos resultados sugieren que la WFD por SVs está impulsada principalmente por una búsqueda de auto-exaltación con alta carga emocional que podría responder a expectativas sociales, apuntando a los actos de altruismo extremo como posibles herramientas de validación social que confieren una sensación de empoderamiento personal. Las implicaciones para diferentes estrategias de des-radicalización se discuten al final.Intercultural conflict is often propagated and sustained through an avid defense of opposing cultural views, both religious and nationalistic, that moral community members are ready to defend even at the cost of their own lives. Such group-defining sacred values or extremely overvalued beliefs are only poorly understood in terms of their neurobiological substrate, with no neuroimaging studies conducted in the context of real intercultural conflict. This is the first neuroimaging study aimed to identify the neural mechanisms underlying willingness to fight and die (WFD) in defense of sacred values (SVs). Moreover, it is the first to assess sacred values in a real-world sample of Muslim Pakistani males recruited in the area of Barcelona (Spain), who expressed radicalized political views with respect to the Kashmiri conflict. A functional magnetic resonance paradigm was employed to evaluate both the neural activity associated with WFD for sacred values and the effect of social influence on the same measure, thus assessing post-manipulation moral outrage reactions and possible induced differences in WFD ratings. As a result, WFD for SVs elicited neural activity in areas associated with deontic thinking, affective appraisal of self-relevant content and self-agency (vmPFC/vACC), and decreased activity in neural nodes associated with utilitarian reasoning, deliberation and introspection (dmPFC, dlPFC, IFG). In turn, conflicting social feedback elicited moral outrage responses, which predicted activity in the parietal operculum, associated with pain and disgust. However, WFD ratings were sensitive to social influence, changing in the direction established by the norm. These results suggest that WFD for SVs is primarily driven by affective-laden self-enhancing motives that presumably respond to social expectations, pointing at acts of extreme altruism as social validation tools conferring feelings of personal empowerment. Support for different de-radicalization approaches is discussed in the end.

Abstract (sommario):
Cette recherche porte sur l'analyse du multiculturalisme à travers de la caractérisation de son « mode opératoire ». En ce sens, il s’agit de faire l'évaluation des politiques multiculturelles, au-delà de l'analyse traditionnelle (qui met l'accent sur le discours). L’objectif est de faire l’examen empirique de la mise en place des droits différentiels énoncés en politiques publiques. Tout d'abord, pour atteindre cet objectif, seront explorés les différents régimes de la relation symbolique entre l'État-nation et les populations autochtones. Ensuite, nous analysons comment les politiques de reconnaissance de la différence culturelle, s'articulent avec un projet de modernisation de l'État néolibéral et s'expriment dans les phénomènes de décentralisation territoriale. Le noyau de cette recherche est constitué par une analyse des effets spécifiques du multiculturalisme dans les domaines de la santé, de l'éducation, de la production économique et la gouvernance politique dans la population Misak situé dans le Resguardo Mayor de Guambia (Département du Cauca – sud-est de la Colombie). Dans cette étude de cas, se mettent en évidence les effets paradoxaux qui ont lieu à l'intersection entre une vision néolibérale de la gouvernance, la dynamique de reconnaissance ethnique promue par l'Etat, et les processus d'autonomie dans le cadre des orientations communautaires préconisées par les organisations autochtones. Ces paradoxes ne sont pas l'exception mais la forme quotidienne du multiculturalisme colombienThis research focuses on the analysis of the Colombian multiculturalism through an operative characterization. In this sense, the assessment of multicultural policies goes beyond the traditional discourse analysis, and instead it empirically reviews the implementation of differential rights translated into concrete public policies. To meet this goal, this study first explores the different symbolic schemes of the relationship between the State-Nation and the indigenous populations. In a second stage, it analyses how the policies that recognize cultural difference since 1991, are articulated with a project of state modernization of neoliberal characteristics, that is exemplified by the territorial decentralization phenomena. Finally, this research presents an analysis of the actual effects of multiculturalism in the fields of health, education, economic production and political governance for the Misak people, specifically for the Resguardo Mayor de Guambia, an indigenous reserve located in the department of Cauca. From this case study, readers will be able to discover how in the Colombian context, there are un-meet aspects (des-encuentros) and paradoxical effects between the Government’s neoliberal vision on public policies, the dynamics of ethnic recognition promoted by the state and the communitarian autonomous processes advocated by indigenous organizations
Esta investigación se focaliza en el análisis del multiculturalismo colombiano por medio de su caracterización operativa. En este sentido, la evaluación operativa de las políticas multiculturales, más allá de los tradicionales análisis discursivos, consiste en revisar empiricamente la implementación de los derechos diferenciales traducidos en políticas públicas concretas. Para cumplir con este objetivo, en un primer momento, se exploran los diferentes esquemas simbólicos de relacionamiento entre el estado-nación y las poblaciones indígenas. En un segundo momento, se analiza como las políticas de reconocimiento a la diferencia cultural acontecidas en 1991, se articulan con un proyecto de modernización estatal de corte neoliberal, expresado en los fenomenos de descentralización territorial. En un tercer momento, se elabora un análisis de los efectos concretos del multiculturalismo en los campos de salud, educación, producción económica y gobernabilidad política en el Pueblo Misak, específicamente para el Resguardo Mayor de Guambia, situado en el departamento del Cauca. A partir del seguimiento de este estudio de caso, el lector podrá descubrir cómo para el contexto colombiano, son persistentes los (des)-encuentros y los efectos paradójicos entre una visión neoliberal de la gestión pública, las dinámicas de reconocimiento étnico promovidas por el Estado y los procesos de autonomía en clave comunitarista defendidos por las organizaciones indígenas

Abstract (sommario):
This paper analyzes the negative influence that cultural friction areas can promote on intercultural contacts. First, we expose the critical incident method like cross-cultural training model (Arthur, 2001). Then we show the negative effects that sensitive cultural zones can exert on the formation of prejudices and stereotypes about culturally diverse groups, analyzing 77 critical incidents collected in two different formative contexts. The main cultural shock areas detected are a) intercultural communication barriers, b) gender roles, and c) the cultural expressions statement. Strategies to improve the method validity are proposed.Se examina la influencia negativa que pueden provocar determinadas zonas de fricción cultural en los contactos interculturales. Para lograr este objetivo exponemos en primer lugar el método de los incidentes críticos como modelo de entrenamiento intercultural. En segundo lugar mostramos a través del análisis de 77 incidentes críticos obtenidos en dos contextos de formación diferenciados, el efecto negativo que pueden ejercer zonas de especial sensibilidad cultural en la formación de prejuicios y estereotipos respecto a grupos culturalmente diversos. Las principales áreas de choque cultural detectadas son a) las barreras de comunicación intercultural, b) los roles de género, y c) la expresión de manifestaciones culturales. Finalmente son propuestas estrategias para mejorar la validez del modelo.

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o conflito territorial e socioambiental que afeta o povo Guarani e Kaiowá do Mato Grosso do Sul, buscando identificar seu potencial pedagógico para informar práticas de Educação Ambiental pautadas por reflexões, abordagens, orientações metodológicas e opções epistêmicas interculturais. A dimensão empírica será informada pelas narrativas dos indígenas Guarani e Kaiowá, que ao elucidarem o conflito ao qual estão submetidos, expressam uma cosmologia mais inclusiva na qual a agência não é prerrogativa exclusiva do humano. Tomando a narrativa dos Kaiowá como ponto de partida, explicitamos os tensionamentos entre a racionalidade instrumental (o modelo hegemônico de desenvolvimento) que desencadeia processos de etnocídio e ecocídio e a cosmologia comunicada pelos Kaiowá, na qual a natureza é uma alteridade (um sujeito, um parente). Assim, no primeiro movimento da dissertação apresentamos o conflito territorial e socioambiental que afeta os Guarani e Kaiowá e seus efeitos sobre a integridade física e a produção material e simbólica desse povo. Em seguida apresentamos a complexidade desse conflito, evidenciando como os problemas socioambientais contemporâneos, que conformam a crise ecológica e civilizacional em escala global, materializam-se, ganham vida e expressam uma cultura de morte em escala local. Em um terceiro movimento, buscamos demonstrar que é possível potencializar a dimensão política e renovar a abordagem epistêmica da educação ambiental, partindo-se do estudo de um caso emblemático no qual as externalidades e as contradições do desenvolvimento capitalista assumem proporções desumanas. A partir de uma abordagem decolonial, defenderemos duas perspectivas: a pertinência de experiências educativas socioambientais empiricamente fundamentadas, isto é, o estudo sistemático de conflitos territoriais e socioambientais, que explicitem a relação entre o progresso moderno e a crise ecológica; bem como, a necessidade de se acionar, para além dos fundamentos da Educação e da crítica socioambiental, conhecimentos outros, como a sabedoria Guarani e Kaiowá, que comunicam outros mundos possíveis e relações sociedade/natureza baseadas na cooperação e na reciprocidade, convertendo a Educação Ambiental em uma Educação Ambiental Intercultural. Assim, vislumbramos possibilidades revisitação das bases teóricas e metodológicas do campo da Educação Ambiental.
This study analisys the territorial and socio-environmental conflicts affecting the Guarani and the Kaiowá indigenous people from Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, seeking to identify potential lessons to derive Environmental Education practices based on intercultural reflextions, approaches, methodolgies and epistemic options. The empiric dimension of this research dealt with the Guarani and the Kaiowá indigenous people narratives about the conflicts they are involved involved in. Their narratives expressed a more inclusive cosmology in which the agency is not exclusively a human prerrogative. Taking into consideration the Guarani and the Kaiwá indigenous people narratives, this study stresses the tensions between the instrumental racionality (the hegemonic model of development), which triggers ethnocide and ecocide processes, and the Guarani and the Kaiwá cosmology, in which expresses and recognises otherness in nature (implying that nature is also a being, a relative). In this way, in the first part of the dissertation we introduce the territorial and socio-environmental conflicts that affect the Guarani and the Kaiwá indigenous people and the impact they bear upon their physical integrity, and their symbolic and material production. Subsequently, we introduce this conflict’s complexity showing how today’s socio-environmental problems, that constitute the ecological and civilizational crisis in a global scale, come to life expressing a death culture in a local scale. In the third part of the dissertation we seek to show that it is possible to potentialise the political dimention and update the environmental education epistemic approach through a study of an emblematic case in which the capitalist development’s externatilities and contraditions take unhuman proportions. From a decolonial standpoint, we defend two perspectives. First, the relevance of socioenvironmental educational experiences based on empiric studies. That is, the systematic study of territorial and socio-environmental conflicts that brings to surface the relationship between the western notion of progress and ecologic crisis. Second, the need to embrace other kinds of knowledge (such as the Kaiowá wisdom, that transmit other possible worlds and society/nature relationships based on cooperation and reciprocity) beyond the fundamentals of Education and socio-environmental critics, rendering Environmental Education an Intercultural Environmental education. In this way, we see possibilities to revisit the Environmental Education’s theoretical and methodological foundations.

Fernández, García Alicia. "Vivre ensemble : conflit et cohabitation à Ceuta et Melilla". Thesis, Paris 10, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA100070.
Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’histoire sociale de Ceuta et de Melilla par le biais des relations interculturelles, notamment entre les deux communautés majoritaires, celle d’origine péninsulaire et de tradition catholique, et celle d’origine marocaine et de confession musulmane. Il s’agira donc d’aborder l’étude de cette histoire sociale par le bais de trois approches : 1) une approche sociohistorique des relations interculturelles ; 2) une approche sociopolitique où la composante démographique, l’identité et le nationalisme seront les axes fédérateurs ; et 3) une approche sociolinguistique consacrée au rôle des stéréotypes dans la construction identitaire, de même qu’aux pratiques et représentations interculturelles d’abord puis linguistiques ensuite chez les élèves des villes. Cette thèse se fonde ainsi sur une problématique centrale formulée dans les termes suivants : comment les relations interculturelles à Ceuta et Melilla se sont-elles construites au long de l’histoire et comment se forgent-elles, dans l’actualité, au niveau social, politique et linguistique ?The objective of this thesis is the study of the social history of Ceuta and Melilla, by means of the analysis of intercultural relationships. Overall, two mainstream communities will be analysed: a Spanish heritage community, mainly Catholic and a Moroccan heritage community of Muslin religion. Three approaches have been taken in order to study this social history: 1) a sociohistorical approach of the intercultural relationships between the two communities; 2) a socio-political approach to analyse identity, demographic data and nationalism; 3) a sociolinguistic approach for the analysis of stereotypes and the construction of identity, as well as linguistic and intercultural representations. Our research question is the following: how intercultural relationships in Ceuta and Melilla are constructed not only diachronically (historically) but also synchronically (today), at social, politic and linguistic levels?

Abstract (sommario):
Para uma comparação intercultural das influências do contexto sobre a codificação de etnia, duas variações do Protocolo de Confusão de Memória (PCM) foram aplicadas em brasileiros. Ambas as variações consistem em uma exibição de slides de uma discussão entre duas equipes esportivas rivais, com membros negros e brancos em ambos os times, em duas condições: Controle (times com roupas de cores idênticas) e Experimental (times com roupas de cores distintas). As variações são: Traduzida, com fotos de jogadores de basquete usadas no experimento original e diálogo traduzido; e Adaptada, com fotos de brasileiros com camisetas de futebol e com o diálogo reelaborado visando consistência com o esporte. O estudo foi dividido em três fases: (I) exposição de 84 participantes, do estado de São Paulo ao PCM Traduzido (II) exposição de 569 participantes em sete estados brasileiros (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP) ao PCM Traduzido (III) exposição de 77 participantes do estado de São Paulo ao PCM Adaptado. Na Fase I, a codificação etnia acompanhou o aumento da intensidade da codificação de coalizão (condição experimental), em contraposição ao experimento original (Kurzban et al., 2001). Na Fase II, a codificação de etnia diminuiu de intensidade quando a codificação de coalizão aumentou, em taxa similar à da aplicação original, mas a codificação de coalizão manteve taxa mais baixa, em ambas as condições, em relação aos dados originais. Na Fase III os resultados em ambas as dimensões foram análogos aos da aplicação original. O conjunto de dados reforça a teoria da universalidade do módulo de codificação de coalizão e que a codificação de etnia seja subproduto deste. Também refletem a importância de uma adaptação cuidadosa em estudos interculturais.For a cross-cultural comparison of context influences in ethnicity encoding, two variations of the Memory Confusion Protocol (MCP) were applied on Brazilians. Both variations consist in a slide-show exposition of a discussion between two rival teams, with black and white players on both sides, in two forms: Control (teams with identical grey colour) and Experimental (teams with different colours). The two variations were: Translated Only, with photographs of basketball players used in the original experiment, and the respective translated dialog; and Adapted, with photographs of Brazilian models with soccer uniforms and a re-elaborated dialog, more fitting to this sport. The research was divided, then, in three different phases: (I) a 84 participants experiment with the Translated MCP, in the state of São Paulo (II) a 569 participants experiment with the Translated MCP, in seven different Brazilian states (BA, ES, MT, RJ, RN, SC, SP); and (III) a 77 participants experiment with the Adapted MCP, in the state of São Paulo. In Phase I, the ethnicity encoding, contrary to the original experiment (Kurzban et al., 2001), accompanied the intensity grown of the coalition encoding. In Phase II ethnicity encoding lowered in intensity during a the raise of intensity of coalition encoding, but coalition encoding kept a lower intensity, in both conditions, if compared to the original experiment coalition encoding rates. In Phase III, the results of both dimensions are analogue to those of the Kurzban et al., 2001 experiment. The data obtained strengthens the theory of a universal coalition encoding module, and encoding ethnicity as a byproduct of it. The data also reveals the importance of a carefully planned adaptation in order to run cross-cultural studies.

Abstract (sommario):
In order to improve international student enrolment, universities have to tackle challenges of ensuring satisfying experience of enrolled international students that is perceived to greatly impact future recruitment. Accordingly, this research aims to provide valuable insights into Chinese international students’ cultural identity conflict that hinders their obtainment of a positive overseas experience. An online survey assessing a range of predictors of cultural identity conflict involving personality traits, ethnic and host cultural identity strength, intergroup factors and strategies of negotiating ethnic and host cultures, and how identity conflict and various identity negotiation strategies influence intercultural competence, was distributed to the entire pool of Chinese students enrolled in a New Zealand university and an Australian university. A total of 255 students completed the survey. Multiple regression analysis revealed that conscientiousness, secure attachment, commitment to ethnic identity, low perceived discrimination, easy access to academic activities with host students significantly protected Chinese students from experiencing cultural identity conflict, whereas preoccupied and fearful attachment, assimilation strategy increased the risk of identity conflict. Additionally, Alternation between cultural demands as one of variations of integration strategy was surprisingly found to exacerbate identity conflict and led to lower levels of intercultural sensitivity, while the other variation, blending strategy significantly resulted in greater intercultural sensitivity. Managerial implications for educational institutions were discussed based on these results. To advance this field of study, limitations of the current research and future research avenues were also presented.

Abstract (sommario):
Many colleges and universities throughout the United States have a long history of encouraging and maintaining a diverse community of international students and scholars on their campuses. As a result of the interaction within this great mix of cultures, interpersonal conflict of an intercultural nature has understandably developed. To cope with the conflicts between cultures, many institutions have developed intercultural mediation programs and resources. This research examines what some U.S. universities do to respond to the issue of international student and scholar intercultural conflict mediation and resolution. The study was designed to explore the different types of resources and services that have been developed and to study some of them in greater detail to gain a better understanding of their approaches and resulting issues and successes. The overall objective of this research was to learn how the various ways mediation programs offered at the selected universities work in practice.
The literature review was created to gain an overall understanding of conflict styles and conflict resolution approaches that are relevant to the many cultural groups who are in need of the mediation. My data collection process focused on how colleges and universities incorporate mediation programs into the campus at large. Data was gathered through 12 interviews with administrators who have experience working in the intercultural conflict mediation and resolution area; these programs were at the Universities of Washington and Minnesota, and Nevada, Reno and Michigan. From the interviews and the literature review, an annotated bibliography and guidelines were created to provide insights and recommendations for consideration by intercultural conflict mediation and resolution programs at educational institutions throughout the United States.

Abstract (sommario):
De plus en plus de femmes indiennes de Pondichéry suivent un apprentissage du français. Parallèlement, nous avons pu constater une méconnaissance de cette émigration. Par une approche anthropologique, nous montrons ce qu’« être sujet » peut vouloir dire pour elles en Inde. Arrivant en France, dans une société où il y a injonction de faire de sa propre vie une œuvre (Kaufman) de nombreuses difficultés apparaissent liées au choc culturel. Dans cette situation d’interculturalité, les femmes pondichériennes sont amenées à faire des choix mettant en péril leur identité. Après avoir défini sept critères du processus du « devenir sujet » dans la culture occidentale, nous avons pris « l’espace de formation » comme analyseur des transformations qu’ils subissent en situation de choc culturel. Nous montrons que l’espace de formation peut être un outil de construction d’un nouveau statut de « sujet en situation d’interculturalité » tout en identifiant les conditions nécessaires à l’émergence de « l’être sujet en situation de formation »It is becoming more and more common for Indian women from Pondicherry to take French lessons. At the same time, we note a lack of knowledge of this emigration. We show, from an anthropological point of view, what “being oneself”. In India can mean for her. On arrival in France, in a society where being oneself is compulsory, that make your life into a work of art (Kaufman), numerous difficulties related to the cultural shock. In this intercultural situation, women from Pondicherry are forced to make a choice which endangers their self identity. After having identified seven criteria within the process of “being oneself” within the western civilisation we used the “training environment” to analyse the transformation that these criteria undergo under the situation of cultural shock. We show that the training area can be useful in building a new status of “being in intercultural situation” by identifying conditions necessary for building of “the being within a training area”

poniendo énfasis en la importancia de esta capacidad para el diálogo en conflictos

empatía. Sin embargo, no se explica detalladamente por qué es importante, más allá
de su mención. Esta tesis defenderá la idea de que dicha capacidad es fundamental
para que los actores envueltos en el diálogo puedan tener razones altruistas
suficientemente fuertes que los motiven a actuar en beneficio del bienestar de los
otros. De esta manera, a través del diálogo, los actores pueden empatizar con el otro
y, de esta manera, ser motivados a actuar por su bienestar, a pesar de que esto

Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur « La vie de couple : Étude comparative entre les couples syriens, français et franco-syriens ». Cette étude met en évidence l’importance d’une relation qui forme le coeur de la première cellule dans la société qui est la famille. C'est la première étude qui tente d’explorer ce sujet à fond. La thèse s'intéresse à l’analyse de la construction du couple dans deux sociétés et deux cultures (France-Syrie). Elle permet de mieux cerner le rôle de l’environnement social et familial dans la stabilité ou les difficultés que traversent parfois les couples. L’échantillon de la recherche est composé de 55 couples (110 sujets). Il est réparti en quatre groupes : 30 couples syriens vivant en Syrie, 13 couples syriens vivant en France, 7 couples franco-syriens vivant en France ainsi que 5 couples français vivant en France. Les outils de la recherche sont les entretiens semi-directifs, le questionnaire de l’entente conjugale et le T.A.T. Les résultats de cette étude sont que les variables étudiées démontrent une différence significative et importante entre les quatre groupes de l’échantillon de la recherche sauf pour deux variables : l’entente conjugale et les activités partagées dans le couple qui ne montrent pas de différence significative. En conclusion, cette étude contribue à déterminer les facteurs de la réussite du mariage, de convergence dans le couple, de la mésentente et les causes de tension et de conflit. Elle fournit des bases afin d’élaborer un programme de consultation visant à améliorer la relation au sein du coupleThis thesis focuses on « the life of couples: comparative study between Syrian couples, French and Franco-Syrian ». This study highlights relationship of the family which is considered as a crucial cell that builds society. This study is the first of its kind that attempts to explore this issue thoroughly. This thesis is interested in analyzing the structure of couples in two diffrent societies and two cultures in both Syria and France. This study focuses on the importance of the role of the family and social environment in either stability or instability cases and in the difficulties that couples are passing through sometimes. The research sample consists of 55 couples (110 sujets), which was divided into four groups as the following : 30 Syrian couples living in Syria, and 13 Syrian couples living in France, 7 Franco-Syrian couples living in France, and 5 French couples living in France. The reserch is based mainly on undirected interviews containing questions about couples life, marital understanding, and projective test TAT. Search results : The studied variables shows a quiet signifiant difference between the four groups in the sample, while there are two variables which are the marital understand and the joint activities between the couple that did not show any differences. In conclusion, this study helps in defining the marriage success factors in terms of matching and agreement between the couple and disagreement between them. Also defining the causes of tension and conflit and provides bases to develop a consultation program to improve the relationship between the couple

Abstract (sommario):
Title: Factors that affect conflict in a cultural diversified workforce in the shipping industry: The case of the shipping company Seascope Level: Master thesis in Business Administration Author: Ioannis Siarapis Supervisor: Maria Fregidou-Malama Examiner: Akmal Hyder Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate factors that affect conflict in a workforce characterized by cultural diversification in the shipping industry. Methodology: A qualitative approach was used. The primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten employees who were interviewed both on the yacht and in the on-shore office of the company. In order to generalize the results from the case study, the inductive approach was used. Thematic analysis was also my approach for finding different patterns in the empirical findings Findings: There are different factors that affect conflict either by enhancing it or by eliminating it. These are the differences in cultural values, differences in communication, continues feedback to the employees, establishment of a “family” climate and the general management of cultural diversity. In addition, when the employees in high positions are from the same background with the owners, this reduces the possibility of conflict. Limitations: The research was based on a Greek company with approximately 10 employees working on the yacht. Therefore, the current limitation is the relatively small number of employees comparing to big ship companies. Contribution: The managers of shipping companies should consider these factors and act accordingly for the benefit of the company. There are significant differences in the employees’ behavior when they are coming from a different cultural background. Moreover, there are differences in the way they communicate. Key words: intercultural communication, yacht, conflict, cultural diversity management, shipping industry.

Abstract (sommario):
The relationship between Black Americans and African immigrants can be described in many ways, and one of those descriptions is distant. Due to a number of reasons, relationships between the two ethnic groups sometimes result in dissociation. In understanding the dissociation between Black Americans and African immigrants, this study takes a look at cultural identity, ethnic identity, avowal and ascription, and how they connect to the issue of dissociation between the two ethnic groups. This study uses social identity theory and mediated intergroup conflict as its theoretical foundation. Narrative approach and grounded theory approach are used as the study’s methodological approaches, and the study also analyzes its findings using three phases of data analysis; memo-writing analysis, narrative analysis, and hermeneutic analysis. Only a few studies concerning the dissociation between Black Americans and African immigrants have been conducted, and it is this study’s objective to add to the current literature. It is important to note that this study is an exploratory research on the dissociation between the two ethnic groups. Overall, the study’s findings indicate that the dissociation between Black Americans and African immigrants is due to the cultural differences between the two ethnic groups and how those differences are communicated.

Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation examines the complicated and still little-known role of the interpreters in conflict zones. After a brief overview of the figure of the community interpreters, the thesis focuses on the interpreters in conflict zones, local civilians who risk their lives every day in the front line in order to help the Western countries in war. This dissertation shows the danger interpreters face because of their job: they are seen as traitors by their fellow citizens, the Taliban and other insurgent groups and for this reason they are hunted and killed. The purpose of this thesis is to show that Western countries are not doing enough to protect these interpreters, and in particular the United States' case will be analyzed: this country does not offer interpreters the right protection backing exchange, leaving them in the hands of the enemy once the US troops have finished their mission. The latter part of the dissertation presents the main organizations and international projects aimed at helping interpreters who are still trapped in their countries.

Migliore, Joseph Anthony. "The Cultural Barriers to Integration of Second Generation Muslims in Northern Italy". PDXScholar, 2011. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/231.
Abstract (sommario):
In this study, I examine the existing literature and carry out a qualitative exploration in order to formulate a better understanding of the dynamics that influence the lives of 2nd generation Italian Muslims. Although monumental social and political challenges remain in confronting integration of the Muslim population and for achieving greater acceptance of Islam within the Italian public sphere, the evidence suggests that the process for integration has slowly begun. Additionally, this study examines the intellectual framework of the existing literature which addresses the issues impacting Muslim integration in Northern Italy. This issue has induced new debates within Italy on multiculturalism, national identity, human rights, while more importantly raising the question--"to what extent do we allow Muslim integration into Italian society and the further insertion of Islam into Italy's spiritual geography?" This study argues that the convergence of contemporary international affairs with religion calls for a new lens for interaction. In Italy the events following 9/11, combined with a resurgence of Islamophobia and the impact of the Global War on Terror, have drawn the issue of Muslim immigrants into a negative spotlight. Mainstream attitudes in Europe, following 9/11, have generated a rift in Muslim-West relations and have caused confusion and anxiety among Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The research hypothesis for this thesis suggests that there are multiple factors impeding the efforts for Muslims to achieve equal footing within the Italian religious landscape and inclusion within Italian society. Among these are divisions found within the Muslim community itself, a growing mistrust of Islam in mainstream Italian society, sponsored by negative media stereotyping and xenophobic political movements, and underlying everything else, the privileged position of the Catholic Church and its unwillingness to accommodate Islamic identity within the social framework. The chosen methodology employed in this study is qualitative, theoretical contextual analysis combined with interviews plus questionnaires used to construct a case study were applied. Beyond engaging in seven interviews with the 2nd generation Italian Muslims, this study was informed by the relevant academic literature from the fields of conflict resolution, history, sociology, cultural studies, Islamic studies and political science. Finally this study contextualized the dynamics generating this conflict and examined the discontinuities this situation has created in the lives of Muslims in Italy. The exclusion of the Muslim population, coupled with the complex relationship between this cultural group and state, has led to the exploration within Italy of different models for integration. The findings of this study indicate that inequalities exist for the Muslim population of Northern Italy in their relation with the host nation and society. This further hampers the process of integration and generates further exclusion. Only profound rethinking of the Italian approach to integration will serve to adequately meet the needs of this marginalized population and fully incorporate them within Italian society.

But at the same time, cultural differences between countries, regions and nationalities have created cultural conflicts, which means that a central challenge for companies and business managers. Since culture and economy are interdependent and inseparable, it is necessary to pay more attention to cultural differences, and proper management strategies of cultural conflicts could solve the possible losses caused by cultural differences. Therefore, this dissertation uses the case of a Chinese acquisition company - Bison Bank in Portugal, uses the qualitative research methodology to analyze the impact of the host country's national culture on its organizational culture and the implications of this influence on cross-cultural management.

In quest'elaborato si affronterà l'analisi dell'interprete nelle zone di conflitto, una figura che è sempre più al centro dell'interesse di media internazionali, studenti e professori.
Dopo un'introduzione al ruolo e alle funzioni dell'interprete, si analizzerà la tipologia dell'interpretazione di comunità e, successivamente, si punteranno i riflettori sull'interprete nelle aree instabili del pianeta. Particolare rilievo verrà dato a come muti la sua immagine a seconda delle varie parti in guerra e quanto la sua vita sia molto spesso in pericolo.
In conclusione, si analizzeranno i progetti di alcune università di interpretazione che hanno risposto piuttosto prontamente alla necessità di una formazione professionalizzante per le figure di interpreti e mediatori interculturali nelle aree sensibili della terra, senza dimenticare le iniziative internazionali volte alla loro protezione.

Abstract (sommario):
Cette thèse présente une étude des représentations et des attitudes linguistiques des étudiants envers les langues répandues à l’université marocaine. Nous nous sommes intéressée à leur rapport avec leur langue d’origine et les langues étrangères, à savoir le français et l’anglais. Les résultats révèlent que ces jeunes ont une attitude très favorable envers les langues étrangères. Notre étude vise également à examiner la valeur économique des langues ainsi que les facteurs qui déterminent l’emploi des compétences linguistiques dans les entreprises. Les résultats montrent queces dernières privilégient les langues étrangères et le multilinguisme en général pour les échanges dans leur société. Elles escomptent de leurs employés une parfaite connaissance des langues étrangères. Cette étude traite également du contact et du conflit des langues et on prend comme cas l’université marocaine, nous somme intéressée à savoir s’il existe un contact ou conflit entre les langues répandues dans l’université marocaine. Notre étude pose enfin un regard sur l’interculturel, nous voulons savoir ce qui se passe lors d’une interaction entre des locuteurs appartenant, au moinspartiellement, à des communautés culturelles différentes même s’ils parlent la même langueThis thesis presents a study of the representations and attitudes of students towards languages studied in Moroccan university. It focuses on their relationship to their language of origin and foreign languages, namely French and English, and to cultural diversity. Our study also aims at examining the economic value of the languages as well as the factors which determine the use of language skills in companies. The results reveal that these students have an attitude too favorable towards foreign languages. The results reveal that these last ones privilege the foreign languages and the multilingualism in general for the exchanges in their company. They esteem from their employees a perfect knowledge of the foreign languages. This study also treats the contact and the conflict of the languages and we take as case the Moroccan university, we are interested to know if there is a contact or a conflict between the languages spread in the Moroccan university. Our study also puts a glance on the intercultural; we want to know what happens during an interaction between speakers belonging, at least partially, to different cultural communities even if they speak in the same language

The present dissertation accomplished a study about the emerging of the Cargo Cults in the dynamic of encounters and conflicts in Melanesia and Papua New Guinea s intercultural and colonial context. Its main aim was: 1) to analyse the colonization process and its impact on Melanesia and Papua New Guinea s society, culture and religions, emphasising the missionary actions, e 2) to make an approximation and reading of the Cargo Cults development through the historic relations that follows the encounter between occidental culture and traditional cultures . As methodological resource it conjugated the concepts of cultural negotiation , cultural translation , transculturality , cultural appropriation and syncretism , making a reading witch try to surpass the old binary s approaches of reflections that looked at the Western and Traditional societies as closed totalities. From the interpretation process of the research s composition, it was concluded that the colonial circumstance and the missionaries presence brought about a new reality, of conflict and constant cultural negotiation. Cargo Cults were seen as expression of that new reality. The research showed that in this cultural negotiation process there are losses, but also earnings to both sides
Esta dissertação realizou um estudo sobre o surgimento dos Cultos a Carga na dinâmica dos encontros e conflitos no contexto intercultural e colonial da Melanésia e Papua Nova Guiné. Seus objetivos foram: 1) analisar o processo colonizatório e seu impacto sobre a sociedade, cultura e religiões da Melanésia e Papua Nova Guiné, enfatizando o efeito da ação missionária e 2) fazer uma aproximação e leitura do desenvolvimento dos Cultos a Carga a partir das relações históricas que se sucedem ao encontro entre a cultura ocidental e as culturas tradicionais . Como recurso metodológico, conjugou conceitos como negociação cultural , tradução cultural , transculturalidade , apropriação cultural e sincretismo , realizando uma leitura que visou superar posturas binárias de reflexão, que veem a sociedade ocidental e as sociedades tradicionais como totalidades fechadas . Com o processo de interpretação na composição da pesquisa, concluiu-se que a situação colonial e a presença missionária instalou uma nova realidade de conflito e constante negociação cultural . Os Cultos a Carga foram vistos como expressões desta nova realidade. A pesquisa mostrou que nesse processo de negociação cultural existem perdas, mas também existem ganhos para ambos os lados

Amora, Chantal. "CONFLICT ZONE INTERPRETERS.A Study on Afghan and Iraqi Interpreters Working for The United States Armed Forces". Bachelor's thesis, Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna, 2020. http://amslaurea.unibo.it/20887/.
Abstract (sommario):
Iraqi and Afghan conflict interpreters are hired by the American Armed Forces to break down linguistic and cultural barriers between military personnel and local communities. Through an overview of their role and profession, this paper aims, on the one hand, to highlight the many struggles of conflict interpreters and, on the other, to provide a comprehensive image of conflict interpreters in order to elucidate the little-known profession.
Using some of the available literature, data, and reports as well as some first-hand accounts, this paper first presents the conflict zones in Iraq and in Afghanistan then discusses the need for conflict interpreters in those areas. Once the distinction of the different categories of conflict interpreters is drawn, the paper focuses on locally recruited interpreters and the risks and concerns their profession entails.
Analysis of this information demonstrates that conflict interpreters are a necessity. They must endure the dangerous nature of their profession, which ultimately pushes them to look for a better life in the country of their employer. With the US government providing little to no assistance so that their foreign employees can obtain a US Visa, conflict interpreters either look on to NGOs or are left to fend for themselves.

Löhr, Katharina. "Conflict Prevention and Management (CPM) System in Transdisciplinary Research Collaborations". Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/19326.
Abstract (sommario):
Es wird zunehmend deutlich, dass weder eine einzelne wissenschaftliche Disziplin noch ein einzelnes Forschungsinstitut Lösungen für globale Probleme zu finden vermag; das Ergebnis ist ein Wandel hin zu vernetzten, globalen Forschungsansätzen, der mit einem Anstieg von Verbundprojekten mit inter- und transdisziplinärem Ansatz einhergeht.
Obschon ein Bewusstsein für die schwierige Aufgabe besteht, institutionelle Strukturen so zu gestalten, dass sie sich förderlich auf die Zusammenarbeit auswirken, wird der praktischen Umsetzung kaum Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. Doch diese ist insbesondere bei Forschungsverbünden zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung von entscheidender Bedeutung, da sie mit ihrer komplexen organisatorischen Struktur – mit Beteiligten unterschiedlicher Nationalität und aus verschiedenen Institutionen und Disziplinen – ausgesprochen anfällig für Konflikte sind. Um destruktiven und das Projekt gefährdenden Konflikten vorzubeugen, werden neben Studien zur effektiven Teamarbeit auch Instrumente benötigt, die die Zusammenarbeit und den Erfolg des Projektes fördern. Nur wenn Projekte effektiv funktionieren, können sie Lösungen für große gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen finden.
Die vorliegende Dissertation verfolgt das Ziel, zur praktischen Funktionsfähigkeit transdisziplinärer Forschungsprojekte beizutragen, indem sie die Konzeption und die Wirksamkeit von Konfliktmanagement-Systemen in derartigen Forschungsprojekten untersucht. Als Fallbeispiel dient ein transdisziplinäres Forschungsprojekt zur Ernährungssicherheit, das exemplarisch für die Komplexität von Verbundprojekten steht. Die vorliegende Dissertation soll nicht nur dazu beitragen, die Wissenslücke über die Funktionsweise transdisziplinärer Forschungsprojekte zu schließen, sondern zudem einen Beitrag zur Forschung zu Konfliktmanagement-Systemen leisten, indem solch ein System in eine weitere Organisationsstruktur übertragen wird.Recognizing that no single discipline or institute alone can find solutions to global challenges, a shift toward interconnected and global research approaches is occurring, thus increasing the number of collaborative research initiatives applying inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches. This is mirrored not just in the global development agenda (Agenda 2030) but also in the funding policies of national and international public funding bodies. While there is awareness for the grand challenges and institutional structures facilitating joint action, little attention is given to the operational details. However, this is essential, as research collaborations in sustainable development are complex organizational settings prone to conflict, made up of diverse members from multiple countries, institutions, and disciplines. To prevent destructive conflict, including complete project failure, research on collaborative team work, as well as tools to facilitate collaboration and project success, is needed. Effectively functioning projects can find solutions to grand societal challenges. Thus, the objective of this dissertation is to facilitate the operational functioning of transdisciplinary research projects by analyzing the design and effects of a conflict management system in such a research environment. Because it exemplifies the complexity of collaborative research projects, a transdisciplinary research project on food security serves as the case study. This dissertation not only helps close the knowledge gap on how transdisciplinary research projects operate, but it also advances research on conflict management systems by transferring the approach to a new type of organization.

Binder, Heidi A. "Cultural fluency in the eye of the storm : a mediation case study". Scholarly Commons, 2012. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/800.
Abstract (sommario):
The eye of the storm is the calm center amidst chaos where, metaphorically speaking, mediators often begin their work. Recent research has advocated for a more holistic, relational, culturally inclusive approach to the mediation process. Such an approach requires conflict fluency as well as cultural fluency for effective mediation. This thesis explores how the intervention strategies of mediation may be enhanced through increased cultural understanding. Current theories of intercultural conflict transformation and intercultural communication are reviewed. Conflict fluency is understood through a mediation perspective. Cultural fluency is understood through cultural identity, cultural values, communication styles, and conflict styles.
A case study follows the theoretical review of the literature. In this case study, a small community mediation center illustrates what is happening in the field today regarding the relationship between culture and conflict. The case study involves a 6 holistic analysis of the organization, seeking to understand intercultural competence at all levels. This includes an analysis of keystone materials, a survey of mediators, Intercultural Effectiveness Scale (IES) results, and interviews with mediators as well as organizational leadership.
The thesis concludes with a list of recommendations that may be useful to this community mediation center as well as other similar organizations. Amongst these recommendations are potentially useful training items such as intercultural conflict styles, critical moment dialogues, and other intercultural tools designed to increase mediator competence in intercultural communication.

Abstract (sommario):
This exploratory and original research project examined the Cultural Mapping & Navigation Assessment (CMN) in order to evaluate it as an intercultural training tool. This instrument was designed by KnowledgeWorkx's multicultural team to assist people in understanding cultural dimensions and developing cultural self-awareness, which are foundational to a person developing intercultural competence. The instrument was evaluated in several ways. The theoretical constructs being measured were reviewed in the literature. The questions used in the CMN were subjected to multilingual and multicultural reviewers and the instrument was statistically analyzed for reliability and validity. Based on that data, changes were made and the revised instrument was administered to a new group. Unstructured interviews were conducted with 10 of the respondents and analyzed for three themes: the degree to which respondents thought their CMN results 4 reflected them; the effects on the participants' cultural self-awareness; and helpfulness as identified by the participants. According to the interviews, the desired outcomes of in creased cultural self- and other-awareness were achieved, as was growth in understanding of cultural dimensions. Content validity is suggested by the strong theoretical foundation. Future research with a larger population will continue to provide important understanding of this valuable intercultural training tool. Finally, information is provided regarding CMN availability, training, support, and cost in order to make it easy for trainers and consultants to evaluate the instrument for their purposes.
