Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis explores Spanish Christian mystic John of the Cross’s concept of the dark night of the soul as a process of conscious suffering that leads to empowerment, meaning in life, and enhanced wholeness. In addition, this thesis considers depth psychological concepts of individuation and Self, and the depth psychological notions of the teleological function of suffering and conscious suffering in relation to the dark night of the soul. The work of C. G. Jung, James Hillman, Thomas Moore, James Hollis, and Barbara Sullivan, among others, is considered. Using heuristic methodology, this thesis presents the story of the author’s personal experience in the darkness to illustrate how conscious suffering leads to personal transformation. Finally, the author provides a guideline for therapists working with clients who are experiencing a dark night of the soul.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation examines the meaning of university 'transformation' from the perspective of workers in 'non-core' zones of work. Mergers, outsourcing, retrenching and rightsizing, have become features of the post-apartheid higher education landscape; and they seem set to remain. Through higher education restructuring work has been divided into 'core' and 'non-core' zones of work and 'non-core' work has largely been outsourced. The men and women working in the outsourced zones of 'non-core' work engage in the 'reproductive work' of the university and yet they largely remain hidden from institutional debates of transformation.

My interest in student engagement stems from my own experiences as a student and educator. Desire to better understand student experiences of engagement, to develop my own pedagogical practices, and to contribute to theory of dance pedagogy has motivated this work. Stemming from the traditions of Husserl and Heidegger, specifically their studies of lived human experience, this study is grounded in hermeneutic and educational phenomenological approaches such as those suggested by van Manen (1990a, 1990b, 1997, 2002). This qualitative inquiry seeks to illuminate student experiential meanings and develop broader understanding of engagement by recognizing underrepresented voices of general education dance students in a dance-based course exploring pluralism in America (see also Bond & Etwaroo, 2005). Participants were enrolled in five separate sections of dance pluralism courses fulfilling the Race and Diversity Studies requirement for undergraduate students at Temple University. Data were collected from 64 students enrolled in dance pluralism between fall 2007 and fall 2008. Written assignments, movement reflections, and mid-semester and end-of-semester course reflections were all data sources. Additionally, 4 of these students were interviewed between 12 and 18 months after completion of the course. Lived experience descriptions, as per van Manen (1990a), were extracted from students' written work and interview transcriptions for detailed analysis. Illumination of dance student engagement was achieved in this study through a rigorous qualitative research process in which I endeavored to suspend preexisting assumptions in order to openly engage with data. More than four cycles of data analysis and a writing process that embraced a model of knowing through writing (Richardson, 1994) generated three culminating themes pertaining to student experiences of engagement: freedom, transformation, and community. Data suggest that these themes have to do with authentic ways of being: experiencing, expressing, relating, and evolving. Acknowledging a connection between these themes and values of critical pedagogy, I theorized this relationship. Immersion in critical and other transformative pedagogical literatures suggested that overarching principles of critical discourse are the very ways in which students in this study experience engagement. I concluded this study by reflecting on findings and making suggestions for educators and future research.

Thesis, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10241295.
Pełny tekst źródłaNurse residency programs (NRPs) have been identified as a means to promote transitioning of new nurses into the professional nursing role. Questions have arisen related to which elements within those programs are most meaningful to the development of new nurses. As the nursing shortage drives the need for quick transition and development of nurses to meet workforce needs, nursing must identify what is meaningful to nurses in their transition to practice. The purpose of this multi-site study was to explicate meaning from the experiences of newly licensed registered nurses (NLRNs) who have just completed NRPs. The research question was “What factors have meaning for NLRNs who have experienced transition to practice in nurse residency programs in acute care settings?”
Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from six NLRNs from three different NRPs after completion of their programs. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis, themes and variations within those themes were derived from the descriptive narratives provided from participant interviews. Overarching themes identified were Relationships, Reflection, Active Learning, Resources and Organizational Systems. Findings have implications for practice and education as the nursing profession strives to find ways to transform nurses in an effective and efficient manner.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe solidarity experience space is possible wherever consecrated bodies and minds exist, as well as the knowledge linked by the common good. This space of love exists in the wish of the human being that understands the presence of the other with a meaning in his own existence and with the surrounding world. Thus, the present study leads the reflections in some questions. Which is the contribution of the social program in the construction of the adolescent identity? Does it provide references that allow structuring in this stage of life, living together with social differences and his improving for the adult stage? How far the subjectivity stated by the adolescent, with his vulnerabilities is listened to and validated, so as the one from the people attended in vulnerability situation, mutually contributing for the growth? The social program developed in the school is the space that gives the opportunity for living the projects and the practices of social activities. The present study is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, the Social Program Recognizing the other, is introduced, with the experience of the solidarity actions, involving 120 High School students and their implications. In the second chapter, the adolescent and his development peculiarities are the object of study with the theoretical support for explanation and comprehension of the students from school, in the current context and their contribution to actions concerning solidarity. In the third chapter, the report of the young adolescents experiences in the social program mixes with the other experiences, among them, movies, questionnaires, and other classroom activities, for theorizing and problemizing the questions that involve the present study. At the same time, it aims to significantly contribute for the changing processes in the social area, with the incentive to the adolescent protagonism, as well as, give the opportunity for developing meanings for the meaning of life, based on faith and, this way, contributing for the transformation of society, making it more just and fraternal.
Ödman, Sofia. "Jag lär mig mer när jag får skådespela och se bilder och inte bara läsa : En undersökning av design för och i lärande i läromedlet Bibeläventyret utifrån ett multimodalt perspektiv". Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Institutionen för pedagogik och didaktik, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-139742.
Pełny tekst źródłaThis study analyses, from a multimodal, design theoretical perspective, the design for learning in the educational material Bibeläventyret Gamla testamentet (The Bible Adventure – The Old Testament). The aim is to display the modes that are used in the design for learning in Bibeläventyret Gamla testamentet and the meaning that is offered in learning by semiotic resources of these modes. The study also presents the involvement that the students show, as a sign of transformation. Transformation refers to how the students start to process offered meaning and form it into knowledge. The study was conducted in 4th grade classes in a Swedish compulsory school and is based on video observations of two hours of teaching, field notes and the analysis of the teaching material. The study shows that teaching Bibeläventyret Gamla testamentet is multimodally conducted with many different modes and artefacts, where some bear more meaning and others are more supportive. The spatial opportunities of the classroom, the oral narrative of the instructor, including prosody in talk, body movements, gesture and gaze, as well as the students’ involvement in meaning making are used variously. The study shows that the multimodal design offers a significant meaning for learning and the involvement of the students shows how they make an initial transformation and formation of new knowledge. Previous research points to major signs of learning in multimodal environments, where digital media is often included. This study contributes to previous research in showing that many more modes can be used and combined multimodally at the same time compared to what is usually done and so extend the learning possibility particularly in teaching Bibeläventyret Gamla testamentet.

Pełny tekst źródłaWith the advent of globalisation driving the People.s Republic of China to embrace its future, the local government has shown great enthusiasm promulgating one of the oldest industries. Foreign higher educational providers that operate in China through the mode of joint venture cooperatives between a Chinese and foreign institution of higher learning are becoming increasingly .knowledgeable-hungry. public or private universities and colleges. Such operations commonly known as Sino-foreign educational cooperatives
(SFEC), are hotly spawned on the mainland, enrolling Chinese students through the division of responsibilities, roles and resources. The Chinese party is mostly responsible for the hardware support, supplying facilities and logistics as the part of the bargain, whereas the foreign party provides the intellectual software of academic programs. The locus of this qualitative study aims to present and investigate a distinct phenomenon of learning in SFEC through the theories of sociocultural perspective encumbered in a transitional context; Sino-foreign (SF) graduates to other workplace communities. Without common interests of social interaction, co-participation, and transformation, SFEC are often discredited due to various factors. The learning aims will feature participative and transformative themes that feature qualitative and interpretive methods. Thus, this research involves interviewing four relevant participants from the likes of two Chinese nationals and two non-Chinese, and how they view learning in SFEC applied to a transitional context, the workplace. My furtherance of analysis will generally stress learning, co-participation and transformative learning in activities that circumvents discriminatory elements of artifacts, identity profiling, relationships, commitment and workplace employment for the necessary transition. In the initial research phase, it did seem that putting learning into community practice in China was essential. In the closing stages, thoughts will flow to the legitimisation of participative and transformative learning, which forms the backdrop of this original theme of research gathered through previous works of similar purview. Prawatt and Floden (1994) remark that knowledge, and the belief that knowledge is the result of social interaction and language usage, and thus is a shared, rather than an individual, experience. Presumably, my chosen theories frame the interactive and shared communal nature of the Chinese society and learning systems.

Pełny tekst źródłaWe propose an empirical contribution to recent attempts to unify cognitive science and social science.We focus on Cultural Attraction Theory (CAT), a framework that proposes a common ontology made of representations for cognitive and social science to address interdisciplinary questions.CAT hypothesizes that in spite of important transformations at the micro-level, the overall distribution of representations remains stable due to dynamical attractors.Testing this hypothesis is challenging and existing approaches have several shortcomings.Yet, by taking advantage of web technologies one can combine the advantages of existing techniques to expand the range of possible empirical studies.We develop two case studies to show this with short written utterances.The first examines transformations that quotations undergo as they are propagated online.By connecting data mining tools with psycholinguistics, we show that word substitutions in quotations are consistent with the hypothesis of cultural attractors and with known effects of lexical features.The second case study expands these results, and makes use of a purposefully developed web experiment to gather quality transmission chain data sets.By extending a bioinformatics alignment algorithm, we decompose transformations into simpler operations, and propose a first descriptive model which relates psycholinguistic knowledge of sentence transformation to evolutionary trends elicited in the cultural evolution literature.Finally, we show that further understanding the evolution of such representations requires an account of meaning in context, a task for which we flesh out possible empirical approaches

Pełny tekst źródłaThe ethnography is based on the assumption that artists can unleash a substantial potential to contribute to social processes in times of upheaval. By formulating artistic and social conceptions, they participate in the development of structures and debates. This dissertation investigates how two Romanian initiatives, the artist group h.arta and the art project The KNOT, create publics and spaces respectively public space. It portrays the artists’ understandings of “creation of public as a political act” and analyzes their practices and strategies. Further, it examines the significance of the artists’ personal experiences with transformation and precarious conditions, and analyzes the narratives governing the ascription of symbolism to formerly socialist contexts. The dissertation is located in the field of political anthropology. It combines the research areas “Art as a Social/Political Field of Action” and “Transformation/Europeanization”, and investigates them as a “Formation of the Political” (Adam/Vonderau 2014). It thereby advocates a concept of plural publicities and feminist perspectives on art. Moreover, it explores the entanglement of post-socialist and postcolonial processes by adapting a post-Cold War approach. Finally, the dissertation examines the artists’ practices from a decentering perspective on Europeanization. It thus applies approaches, which understand Europe from its “margins”, to the local production of art in the European context. As a result, the dissertation illustrates how these Romanian artists, generic for the “margins” of (EU-)Europe, create spaces of self-empowerment out of their frequently precarious situations. Although fragile, these spaces contribute to the imagination and decentering of the European field of art and offer alternatives to neoliberal EU-Europe.

Pełny tekst źródłaBackground: Digitalization is a contemporary phenomenon that is changing how the society, organizations and people live their lives and organize themselves. When digitalization changes organizational processes and the way people work, the boundaries between work and the ‘rest of life’ are being erased. To handle this change, organizations need a collective initiative where relationships between employees, leaders and managers must be handled, which is something that is called employeeship in a Swedish context. The digital transition has been accelerated as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, where a major shift to digital tools has taken place. Employees' conceptions about digitalization are divided and can be considered both positive and negative. There is a certain lack of research in employeeship, especially in a more modern and digitized context. With more digitized organizations, there are still questions about how it affects the employeeship. This creates an interest in examining employees' experiences of employeeship in a digital work environment. Research questions: RQ1: How do employees experience employeeship in a digital work environment? RQ2: Which importance does the digital work environment have for employees’ experience of commitment and meaningfulness? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to examine the meaning of employeeship in a digital work environment and value the importance of engagement and meaningfulness to gain an enhanced understanding. Method: Since the purpose of the study is to examine experiences a qualitative methodology has been used. This has been done through seven semi-structured digital interviews with employees from both private and public organizations through Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Results: A majority of employees experienced an increase in effectiveness and participation, however they also experienced a loss of social contact with their colleagues. A tendency of increased difficulties of concentration and new distractions was embossed when working in a digital work environment which lowered their commitment. Employees experienced meaningfulness from work duties, fellowship and contributing to society. The digital work environment eases the puzzle of everyday life however at a cost of lost social contact which employees experienced reducing the meaningfulness of work. Conclusion: The conclusion of the study is that the experiences of employeeship in a digital work environment are different and can be described as a double-edged sword. The digital work environment brings positive elements, such as efficiency and increased participation, as well as negative elements of impaired communication and fellowship. The importance of commitment and meaningfulness remains great, but the study also emphasized the importance of considering fellowship and cooperation for a constructive employeeship in a digital work environment.
Richter, Beate. "Bildung relational denken". Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät IV, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16937.
Pełny tekst źródłaEmbedded in the theory of adult education (andragogy) this PhD-thesis takes up the challenge proclaimed by the biography research based on the concept of Bildung and seeks to define the concept of transformational Bildung more precisely. To overcome the identified stagnation in this research field, this thesis proposes a change from qualitative research paradigm to relational paradigm and introduces the relational logic of development as methodology of relational thinking. The application of the results of the informal axiomatization of Robert Kegan’s theory of human development to the concept of transformational Bildung as well as the use of various approaches based on relational communication theories allowed to provide a more precise definition of the concept of transformational Bildung. In this thesis Bildung is defined as a process of transformation of individual’s rules of meaning making caused by a person’s confrontation with the rules of meaning making of a higher order. From the observer’s perspective the structure of the Bildung process can be described as a transition from one context rule to another. The developed model of context levels of meaning making allows defining types of signs (ZA) that enable to measure the levels in the process of Bildung. Furthermore, this model allows determining three types of context rules (XR), which – according to the relational logic of development – represent principles of meaning making seen as rules for relating signs. Thus, on the one hand, the model of context levels of meaning making has succeeded to specify the concept of transformational Bildung and, on the other hand, has proven the effectiveness of the structuralist method for the relational adult education research.

Pełny tekst źródłaDenna studie handlar om nyanlända vuxna migranters meningsskapande och lärande i det svenska samhället under deras tvååriga introduktionsperiod, efter att de har fått uppehållstillstånd. Jag har specifikt studerat arabisktalande vuxnas meningsskapande och lärande, genom observationer och enskilda djupintervjuer med 12 nyanlända. Introduktionsperioden består främst av tre s.k. etableringsinsatser; kursen i samhällsorientering, svenska för invandrare (SFI) samt olika arbetsrelaterade och arbetsfrämjande insatser, såsom praktik på olika arbetsplatser. Resultatet visar att etablering handlar om att forma de vuxna nyanlända till ”goda” medborgare, genom etableringsinsatserna, bl.a. i samhällsorienteringskursen, som regleras genom policydokumenten, och som s.a.s. tillhandahåller mening för de nyanlända. Den ”goda” medborgaren har vissa specifika kännetecken, vilka, i grova drag, är att han eller hon är självständig (och förespråkar individualitet), fri, jämlikhetstänkande, sekulariserad, laglydig (vilket inkluderar ärlig), ansvarsfull, och en ”god” förälder. Dessa karaktärsdrag kommer på olika sätt till uttryck i samhällsorienteringskursen, exempelvis genom kursmaterialet. Det svenska samhället framställs då också som något eftersträvansvärt, och skilt från det som antyds vara ”arabiska” värderingar och tänkesätt. Föreställningen om den ”goda” medborgaren verka syfta till att konstruera den vuxna nyanländas (och dennas familjs) identitet, något som många av studiens respondenter gör motstånd mot. Vad gäller migrantens nya erfarenheter, är det exempelvis de som migranten har fått genom kontakt med Arbetsförmedlingen som påverkar meningsskapandet i det nya samhället. Den mening som de flesta av respondenterna har gjort om Arbetsförmedlingens insatser för dem är att denna myndighet enbart erbjuder dem ”förpaketerade” lösningar, och inte tillhandahåller den hjälp eller det stöd som de behöver. Även erfarenheter som migranten gör i samhällsorienteringskursen, samt den mening som ”gamla” migranter förmedlar till honom eller henne, spelar roll för hur vederbörande skapar mening om Sverige och svenskar, och om sin nya livssituation. Dessutom har det visat sig att det är de erfarenheter som den vuxna har blivit socialiserad genom, samt de som han eller hon har fått genom utbildning eller arbete i ursprungslandet, som påverkar migrantens meningsskapande i Sverige. Det är främst värderingar som är knutna till barnuppfostran och religion som leder till en viss förståelse och konstruktion av ens nya liv. Dessa värderingar leder också, när de stöts mot de värderingar som ingår i föreställningen om den ”goda” medborgaren, antingen till ett motstånd mot eller en beredvillighet inför det meningsgivande som ingår i den ”goda” medborgaren.

Pełny tekst źródłaSouth African organisations have to survive in an increasingly competitive and globalised environment. Many believe that South African organisations are ill prepared for these challenges, based on the fact that many organisations are plagued by low productivity, low levels of trust between employees and employers, as well as low levels of organisational commitment, effectiveness and efficiency. Solutions must be found for these problems and the present study offers one such solution. Organisational citizenship behaviour is essentially pro-social organisational behaviour that is characterised by going beyond what is expected in role requirements or role descriptions and is seen as a key driver of individual and organisational performance. Furthermore, an organisation’s ability to elicit organisational citizenship behaviour is believed to be a vital asset that is difficult for competitors to imitate and which provides the organisation with a competitive advantage. Having completed a literature study concerning possible antecedents of organisational citizenship behaviour, and taking into account various suggested future directions for organisational citizenship behaviour research, it was decided that the present study would focus on five variables: three variables that are characteristic of employees, and two that are characteristic of the management or leadership in the organisation. The primary goal of the present study was to design and conduct a scientific investigation that would attempt to determine the relationships between leader emotional intelligence, transformational leadership, trust, meaning intention to quit, and organisational citizenship behaviour, as well as to further determine the role that these five constructs play in influencing organisational citizenship behaviour. A study of the available literature was made to learn as much as possible about each of these six constructs and to determine what is known about the relationships that exist between them. The knowledge gained from the literature study was used to propose several hypotheses and a conceptual model explaining the relationships between these constructs. The relationships and the conceptual model were then empirically tested, using various (mostly confirmatory) statistical methods. This makes the present study confirmatory in nature. Existing measuring instruments were used to measure each of the constructs in a South African sample (n=496). This sample represented a wide range of organisations. Each of the measuring instruments (excepting the intention to quit scale) was subjected to a double cross-validation Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis procedure to test its construct validity. Internal reliability was determined for all of the instruments and their subscales. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis and internal reliability results were then compared to those obtained when the original measurement model was studied, using these same methods (i.e. Confirmatory Factor Analysis and internal reliability) and the data from the present sample. It was found, in all cases, that the derived factorial configuration differed, in some to a lesser degree and in others radically, from that proposed by the original author/s. It was also found that the EFA-derived measurement models and configurations had a better fit to the data than the original measurement model and its configuration. Once the criteria for construct validity and internal reliability were satisfied, the rest of the statistical analyses could be conducted. The next step was to test the hypotheses concerning the individual relationships that made up the conceptual model. Pearson correlations and Standard Multiple Regression was used to study these bivariate relationships. Several indirect or mediating relationships followed from these direct relationships and these were tested using Path Analysis. In a similar vein, four prediction hypotheses were formulated from the conceptual model and these were also tested, using Standard Multiple Regression. Lastly, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to see to what extent the conceptual model fitted the data obtained from the sample and to test the relationships between the constructs when taking the complete conceptual model into account. Both trust and meaning were found to individually mediate the relationships between transformational leadership and organisational citizenship behaviour, and leader emotional intelligence and organisational citizenship behaviour. The relationship between leader emotional intelligence and organisational citizenship behaviour was further found to be mediated by transformational leadership and trust, while this relationship was also found to be mediated by transformational leadership and meaning. No significant direct relationships could be found between leader emotional intelligence and organisational citizenship behaviour, or between transformational leadership and both organisational citizenship behaviour and intention to quit. No significant correlation was found between intention to quit and organisational citizenship behaviour either. This meant that several postulated mediating hypotheses could not be corroborated. The SEM result shows that the conceptual model did not fit the data very well, therefore an alternative model was recommended. The results in essence show that effective leaders who are emotionally intelligent and make use of the transformational leadership style can positively influence trust and meaning among followers. This, in turn, will motivate followers to display organisational citizenship behaviour and reduce their intention to quit. These are believed to positively influence organisational effectiveness and performance. Further conclusions were drawn from the obtained results and recommendations are made for future studies. New insights were gained through the results and it is believed that the present study has contributed to the field of organisational psychology and Industrial Psychology in general, on both the academic and the practioner level.

Pełny tekst źródłaThis dissertation examines how transhumance shepherding in Provence was transformed from the early 2000s to 2020 by a series of reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that increasingly normalized and bureaucratized the profession. Early in the 2000s, the policy focus placed on the “multifunctional” character of agriculture combined with the “decoupling” of agricultural aid increased shepherds’ economic dependance on “premiums” that were linked to stricter rules and norms. This shift changed shepherds’ work by requiring cross-compliance with environmental standards. These “public norms”cut across multiple sectors (transportation, health, environment) at different levels of governance (local, national, European), which often overlapped and contradicted one another. Shepherds responded to these norms not only as individuals working alone but also as part of a “localized professional group” (LPG) (Darré 1985) that includes shepherds with differing professional statuses (farmers, salaried workers). This Pastrille covers a vast area of transhumance and knowledge-sharing that spans the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and its borderlands. The group includes shepherds of diverse social backgrounds and career paths who collectively define who shepherds can be and determine what work shepherds can do by establishing professional norms. This research focuses on how the confrontation between the “public norms” and the professional norms affected shepherds torn between the double bind of their desire for a specific work ethos that promoted the preservation of tradition and the demand to comply with new norms that undermined it.This research was conducted in immersion as a shepherd over a period of 15 years. I analyzed change in the ethos of this “localized professional group” and identified three phases of normative confrontation. An initial phase of incomprehension and rejection of measures deemed absurd was followed by a phase of violent confrontation when inspections and sanctions tightened. The final phase of relative appeasement came when shepherds chose to internalize new norms or resigned themselves to doing so. I considered the active and passive strategies implemented by shepherds to deal with the confrontation of norms and look at how representations and professional practices were reconfigured.How did a group that placed preservation of the community above self-affirmation change with time, leaving greater individual latitude in managing imposed “public norms”? How did greater economic dependence on premiums influence shepherds’ practices, by acceptance or by choice, to the detriment of the prior professional ethics? Furthermore, how did younger generations of shepherds adapt to them differently than their elders? How did a career pursued passionately by shepherds close to their herds progressively become a more professionalized occupation taken up by breeders who distance themselves from their livestock? How did development-driven changes, formerly perceived as external to the group, become more familiar and internal as the group’s structure and the contours of its identitychanged and “public norms” were internalized? By examining shepherds in the PACA region, this dissertation contributes to debates on bureaucratization of contemporary societies and considers the impact of rapidly cumulating norms and standards on professional groups and the meaning of work

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis aims to carry out a meticulous analysis of the transformation of form and meaning in the rendition of the Rubáiyát in four significant 19th and 20th-century translations—two in English and two in French. The translators of the selected translations are Edward FitzGerald, Arthur John Arberry, Jean-Baptiste Nicolas, and Gilbert Lazard. The translations produced by these translators have offered opportunities of investigation within linguistic boundaries. In fact, one may wonder if the translators have transformed the meaning and the form of the Persian quatrains. If so, which procedures have they employed? More precisely, how are the underlying networks of signification rendered by the most significant English and French translators of the 19th and 20th centuries? Furthermore, what is the quality of the writing in the target language in each translation? On the whole, this thesis seeks to appreciate whether the translators have been successful in understanding the significance of the subtext and the elegance of the poetic form of the Rubáiyát.This dissertation provides its readers with a scientific application of the theoretical concepts of different theorists in translation studies, linguistics, and literature. The most salient theories employed in the present research are those of Antoine Berman, Henri Meschonnic, Peter Newmark, Eugene Albert Nida, Susan Bassnett, Mona Baker, Geoffrey N. Leech, I.A. Richards, Roger T. Bell, George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, Michael Hanne, and Max Black. In addition, it must be indicated that this thesis sets out to create a balance between two poles in translation studies, i.e. target-oriented and source-oriented translations.The translation of Omar Khayyám’s Rubáiyát into Germanic and Romance languages is an interesting and controversial subject to discuss. This research seeks to prove that the study of the translations of the Rubáiyát can contribute to highlighting the difficulties and the impossibilities of the rendition of certain issues from Persian into English or French

Pełny tekst źródłaWhat’s an expert coach ? The shortage of consensus around this question regularly has an impact on the high level coaches’ recruitment who are frequently recruit for their athlete success and not for their schooling (Gilbert et al., 2006). The Badminton French Federation’s choice in April 2015 to change almost all the national coaches by a new team takes in charged by the danish Peter Gade, retire player, previously number 1 in the world, is a perfect example. The shortage of unbiased norms (Abraham et al., 2006) also regularly leads to assess the experts coaches through their athletes’ performances, themselves frequently summarized by theirs tournaments’ results. Indeed, it’s difficult to assess the experts coaches’ activity, so much it seems to be guided by tacit knowledge (Saury & Sève, 2004), leading to considerate them as alchemists of performance (Ripoll, 2012). To flow into the studies aim for delimited the expertise’s contours, first this research aims for analyze expert coaches activity in situ through a research program in culturalist anthropology (Bertone & Chaliès, 2015). This program allows to understand the base of coaches’ activity (i) by conceptualized the significations the actors associate to their lived experiences and (ii) by appreciated the agreements of significations between the actors. The first part of this study was conducted in collaboration with three male players’ member of the French senior national team and two experts coaches (an INSEP national coach and a former national Bulgarian coach). The data was collected from audio-video recordings (AVR) of each training session follow by autoconfrontation interviews (ACI) with the coach and the athlete. The first results showed that the coach-athlete interactions are regularly the place of disagreements between the actors causing an unproductive collaboration and harming the performance. This first results lead us to extend this study with a second part aims to offer to expert coaches a professional development space. For that, a transformative research design was constructed for giving them access of the athlete’s life and thus allow them to become aware of some aspects of their activity and the effects on the athlete’s one. Conducted in collaboration with the badminton players and the national coaches of the national center for young players based in Bordeaux and Strasbourg, the data has been collected from AVR of individual trainings sessions follow by ACI with the coach and the athlete again. A special interview was then be lead with the coach to confront him with the athlete’s words held during his ACI. It was then asked him to interpret the observed disagreements and to get involved in eventual transformation leads of his activity. An AVR of the next training session was then be made to observe possible marks of professional development in the coach’s work. The results show that such a design, involving to give access for the coach of the athlete’s life, can allow the dyad to tend towards a high level of intersubjectivity (Jowett, 2006). Trying to get accessible the experiences and actions patterns, ordinary unaware (Alheit & Dausien, 2005) in order to guide a professional development dynamic, this design is inscribed in problematic of the articulation between the education situations and the work situations (Durand & Fillietaz, 2009) in a perspective of a lifelong learning

Pełny tekst źródłaThis thesis explores pluralist perspectives on literacy in the context of the Literacy and Numeracy (LITNUM) Strategy of the Western Cape Education Department. My argument is that we need to move beyond functional or technical conceptions of literacy towards a recognition of its transformative potential. That is, the concept of literacy needs to be stretched to incorporate pluralist perspectives in order to achieve developmental aspirations. Following a literature review approach, I construct three constitutive meanings of literacy, namely “cognitive skills”, “social context” and “development”, and I investigate how the LITNUM Strategy conforms to these constitutive meanings of literacy. My finding is that LITNUM is based on a constructivist learning theory. I caution that when understandings of learning theories are viewed exclusively from one perspective, literacy becomes “compacted”, and we miss out on important considerations of literacy and its transformative potential. I show that LITNUM discusses several social contextual factors related to literacy; a recognition of the impact of social issues on literacy. Regarding LITNUM’s concern with development, I conclude that both functional and critical literacy as important aspects of development are not sufficiently addressed. In a nutshell: LITNUM focuses on technical skills, which need to be balanced with the notion that literacy is a social act, and that it has the potential to transform societies. I propose a “literacy of thoughtfulness”, based on compassion, love and care. This proposition forms the basis for possible future research.

The Meaning of Modern Japanese Women’s Make-up Transformation Summary Make-up is one of the most popular human cultural behaviors ever since. Within different generations, belonging enterprises and cultures, the idea of make-up changes over time. Enthusiastic make-up persons arose from the changes of cosmetics symbolization and cosmetics circulation, in 1990’s, Clothing symbolization had been satisfied in the end of 1980’s; thus, the culture switched to cosmetics symbolization in 1990’s. The symbolized cosmetics were varied, and it was divided into several functions like clothes which can be collocated to each other. Meanwhile, there were also changes in the market. Consumers can touch and try on those cosmetics from expensive ones in the department stores & open-shelf ones in drug stores, and then they decided to buy it or not. Therefore, consumers can freely choose various cosmetics. Besides, they changed from accepting “Symbol” into “Collocating” cosmetics. Thus, women’s souls were inspired by cosmetics, and some of them were enthusiastic “acceptable” make-up fans. Hence, make-up is becoming an important issue which we can not igore. In this research, I select “Japanese make-up fans” as the objectors to discuss their unique “reading”, “writing”& “discussing” articles, and it reveals the meaning of modern Japanese women’s make-up tranformation.
