Pourquoi ? Comment faire ? De la nature du comportement prosocial dans l’hypocrisie induite : le cas du gaspillage alimentaire / Why? How? Prosocial behavior nature in the induced hypocrisy : a food waste case studyPelt, Audrey 06 December 2016 (has links)
L’objectif de cette thèse est de concevoir une démarche d’intervention pour promouvoir la réduction du gaspillage alimentaire reposant sur l’hypocrisie induite semble. Cette procédure d’induction de dissonance articule une phase de saillance normative et une phase de rappel des transgressions. Si l’hypocrisie induite est interprétée à la lumière de la théorie de la consistance de Soi, nous reprenons à notre compte les propos de Vallacher (1992), selon lesquelles la nature de l’action, c’est-à-dire les significations qu’un individu attribue à ces comportements, est susceptible d’influencer le processus de dissonance. La théorie des niveaux de construit, incluant l’identification de l’action, a été mobilisée pour appréhender les significations accordées à des conduites pro-sociales. Plus précisément, nous avons examiné l’influence des niveaux de construit, sur les comportements de soumission obtenus, selon que la phase de saillance normative sera suivie ou non d’un rappel des transgressions. Dans une première expérience, nous avons testé l’applicabilité de l’hypocrisie induite pour promouvoir la réduction du gaspillage alimentaire. Les deux expériences suivantes examinent l’influence des niveaux de construits dans l’hypocrisie induite. Enfin, une recherche-action reposant sur des interventions de type face-à-face auprès des ménages a été mise en œuvre et integre des mesures comportementales effectives. Nos résultats suggèrent que l’hypocrisie induite est à même de promouvoir des changements de comportements effectifs de réduction du gaspillage, mais que ces changements dépendent des significations accordées à cette conduite pro-sociale / Our research aims at conceiving an intervention process to promote food waste reduction in households. Considering the characteristics of food waste, induced hypocrisy appeared adapted to lead to behavioural changes. This sequential procedure of dissonance induction articulates two steps: preaching publicly a socially desirable behaviour (normative salience) and remembering one’s counter-normative behaviours (mindfulness). Though induced hyprocrisy is interpreted in the light of self-consistency theory, we make ours Vallacher’s propositions (1992), according to which the nature of the action, that is the meanings attributed to these behaviours by an individual, is likely to influence arousal and dissonance reduction. This research relies on construal level theory, including action identification, to understand the meanings given to pro-social behaviours. More specifically, we tested the influence of construal levels, manipulated during the stage of normative salience, on the compliance behaviours thus obtained, whether the normative salience stage be or not followed by mindfulness. In a first study, we applied induced hypocrisy to a previously unstudied behavioural area: the encouragement of food waste reduction. The next two experiments, conducted in a laboratory, examined the influence of construal levels in induced hypocrisy. Relying on these studies, we conducted a field experiment, which used effective behavioural measures, based on face-to-face interventions in the households. Our results suggest that induced hypocrisy may encourage individuals to actually reduce food waste, but that these changes depend on the meanings they grant to this pro-social behaviour

Towards a definition of dirty realismDobozy, Tamas 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis develops and refines a term used initially by Bill Buford to refer to works of
contemporary realism. Dirty realism characterises a strain of realism first appearing in American
and Canadian writing during the 1960s and increasing in prominence through the 1970s, 1980s,
and early 1990s. The study focuses on the scholarship surrounding both the term and the works
of particular authors, and applies the theories of Fredric Jameson and Michel de Certeau to
develop a basic critical vocabulary for engaging the fiction and poetry of Charles Bukowski,
Raymond Carver, Richard Ford, and Mark Anthony Jarman, as well as other writers treated with
less intensity, such as David Adams Richards, Helen Potrebenko, Al Purdy, and Bobbie Anne
Mason. In particular, the dissertation attempts to develop a critical terminology through which
to discuss dirty realist texts. The most prominent of such terms, the "hypocrisy aesthetic," refers
to dirty realism's aesthetic of contradiction, discursive variance, and offsetting of theory against
practice. The chapters of the dissertation deal with the emergence of the hypocrisy aesthetic
through a study of literary genealogy, history, and theory.
The second chapter, "Dirty Realism: Genealogy," traces the development of major
currents in twentieth-century American realism, particularly naturalism. Arguing for dirty
realism as a variant of naturalism, the chapter traces the transmission of ideas concerning
dialectics, determinism, and commodity production from Theodore Dreiser and Frank Norris,
through James T. Farrell and John Steinbeck and ending with an extensive discussion of Charles
Bukowski's Factotum.
The third chapter, "Dirty Realism: History," addresses the impact of the Cold War on the
development of dirty realism. Referring to major critics on the period, this section of the
dissertation follows the development of hypocrisy as a form of discourse eventuated by Cold
War contradictions, particularly between that of democratic freedoms proclaimed abroad and the
atmosphere of suspicion and paranoia on the domestic scene (as—in the USA—in the HUAC
hearings chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy). / Arts, Faculty of / English, Department of / Graduate

Uhakiki wa Riwaya ya Paradiso kwa Msingi wa Nadharia ya UhalisiaOkal, Benard Odoyo 30 May 2022 (has links)
Makala haya yanaangazia uhakiki wa usimulizi, mazingira, onomastiki ya wahusika na maudhui katika riwaya ya Paradiso (2005) ya John Habwe kwa kuzingatia madhumuni na kanuni za nadharia ya uhalisia wa kifasihi. Yanaonesha jinsi nadharia ya uhalisia ama uhalisiamamboleo wa kifasihi inavyoafikiana na dhamira ya riwaya ya kukosoa maovu yanayotendeka katika asasi za kidini za Kikristo katika jamii ya leo. Uhakiki huu unadhihirisha yafuatayo: usimulizi wa nafsi ya tatu; upana wa maudhui ya kukosoa matatizo ya kijamii mbali na maudhui makuu ya kukosoa unafiki wa viongozi na waumini wa kanisa; mazingira yenye majina halisi; na uteuzi wa majina ya wahusika kwa kuzingatia vipengele anuwai vya onomastiki. Yote haya yanachangia kuiainisha Paradiso kama riwaya changamano ya uhalisia wa kifasihi. / This article analyses narration, setting, onomastics of characters and themes in the novel Paradiso (2005) by John Habwe by considering the objectives and tenets of the theory of literary realism. It shows how the style of literary realism or neo-realism concurs with the overarching theme and concern of the novel of criticizing misdeeds in religious institutions of the Christian faith in contemporary society. This nterpretation sheds light on the following aspects: third person point of view; a wide thematic array of social critique apart from the main theme of criticising the hypocrisy of leaders and followers of the church; a setting consisting of real-life names; and a diverse choice of characters’ names according to different aspects of onomastics. All these aspects contribute to the classification of Paradiso as a sophisticated novel of literary realism.

Etableringen av familjecentraler i Jönköpings kommun 1998-2008. : Hur, varför och till vilket pris? / The establishment of family centers in Jönköping municipality, Sweden, 1998-2008. : How, why and at what cost?Kalin, Torbjörn January 2011 (has links)
Denna uppsats fokuserar på den etableringsprocess som har skett i Jönköpings kommun vid införandet av familjecentraler. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur införandet av familjecentraler kan förstås och genom det skapa fördjupad kunskap om etableringsprocesser i socialt arbete. Studien har genomförts i form av en fallstudie. Empiri har samlats in genom intervjuer och genom offentliga allmänna handlingar. Materialet har analyserats genom ett adhoc-förfarande inspirerat av fallstudieanalys. Teorier som använts i analysen grundar sig i agenda-settingteori och i nyinstitutionell organisationsteori. Resultatet visar att familjecentraler som idé är omtolkningsbart vilket resulterat i en omfattande översättningsprocess. I den processen har socialtjänstens roll varit decimerad, vilket avspeglas i det utrymme som socialtjänsten ges på familjecentralerna där deras roll definieras av andra professioner än de själva. Det som gör att familjecentralerna kommer att etableras är en kritik mot och från barnhälsovården rörande relationen med socialtjänsten. Detta ackompanjeras av en ökad oro för föräldraskapet samt ökade krav på billigare och bättre verksamheter inom den offentliga sektorn. Dock får familjecentralsetableringen ett abrupt avbrott i och med att studier lyfts fram som indikerar att det finns bristande kunskaper rörande familjecentralernas effekt, vilket skapar hinder för nyetableringar. Detta medför inte att befintliga familjecentraler läggs ner vilket kan förstås i att familjecentralspolicyn visar en hög grad av institutionalisering, en stark förgivettagen tro på familjecentralerna, där dessa upphör att behöva legitimeras i form av problemadressering och resultat. / This bachelor thesis focuses on the establishment process of family centers in Jönköping municipality, Sweden. The purpose of this case-study is to examine on which terms the establishment of family centers can be understood aiming for the creation of in-depth knowledge about establishment processes in social work. Data has been collected via semi-structured interviews and via open records. The data has been analyzed via ad-hoc analyses inspired by cases study analyses. Theoretical framework used in the study is Kingdon’s agenda setting theory and neo-institutional organization theory. The study presents that family centre policy is highly interpretable and therefore has been a case of policy translation, which has resulted in a decimated part for the social services in the family centers, highly defined by other professions. The establishment of family centers is a result of a critique aimed against and from the child health care services, accompanied with an increased worry for parenthood and demands for more economically efficient function within the public sector. The process is interrupted by studies that indicate insufficient knowledge about the efficiency of the family centers. However this doesn’t result in closure of family centers because the function has reached a high degree of institutionalization, where it is legitimized by presumptions and beliefs rather than results and problem addressing.

Tři kritické hlasy poválečné americké literatury / Three critical voices of post-war American literatureMalá, Kateřina January 2011 (has links)
The thesis deals with critical views of the post-war American society as found in three literary works: Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye and Jack Kerouac's On the Road. The thesis's aim is to introduce briefly the post-war society and then, on basis of text analysis, to provide criticism expressed by each book mentioned above. Divided into four main parts, it describes the post-war situation in the United States (political, social and cultural) and thereafter it focuses on the books itself. It provides a short biographical summary of each author's life but it mainly targets the criticism the book contains. The post-war period was significant because of the change it brought. The society of the 1950s was characterized by many "booms" that contributed to its development. The main features of this period were consumerism and materialism; these were also the principal things subjected to criticism. The question the thesis wants to answer is whether this criticism was justified or not. This objective is realized in the conclusion. Based on all facts provided by the thesis, the answer is that the criticism was justified; however, it is not so easy and it is necessary to read the whole thesis to understand all reasons that led to this conclusion and to think over...

"Strategy in the skin : strategic practices of South Africa's official development assistance"Williamson, Charmaine Mavis 11 1900 (has links)
This study set out to explore how Official Development Assistance was practised in South Africa. An exploratory narrative design was followed to uncover the ‘strategy in the skin’ of strategy practitioners in the unit of analysis and to respond, therefore, to the research questions.
This study has contributed to the body of knowledge in that it has brought together an alternative confluence of three theoretical perspectives of strategy as practice; complex adaptive systems and organisational hypocrisy and has explored the impact of the practice lens on these standpoints. While there has been extensive research on each of the theoretical perspectives, there has not yet been a study that has drawn together the three perspectives in relation to an empirical unit of analysis such as Official Development Assistance practices and practitioners.
The study responded to a knowledge gap in relation to how public sector organisations, such as government units and the strategy practitioners of such units, practice strategy beyond the reified, formalised conceptions of strategy and in relation to their inhabiting complex, political organisational systems.
The study arrived at two central theoretical findings. Firstly, that strategising represents a calibration of strategic practices towards strategic outcomes through the activities of complex adaptive practitioners
v
within the more politically inclined organisation. Secondly, that beyond the text of strategy, there is sub-text that is equally part of the micro strategy towards strategic outcomes.The skilful and sometimes delicate balancing act, that strategists perform to legitimise the calibrated combinations of action and politics in organisational strategy, equally needs nuanced, subtle and more complex forms of organisational communication.
The study, therefore, makes the claim that complex adaptive systems and the characteristics of political organisations (as not being geared to action) are inherently broadened through the multiple dimensions of the practice turn and strategy as sub-text. The research confirmed that strategy as practice is a useful lens to understand strategy beyond the formally documented scripts and espoused pronouncements of strategy within organisational studies / Business Management / D.B.L.

Visionen “ett Stockholm för alla” - men finns det möjlighet för alla att delta? : En undersökning av styrdokuments beskrivning av möjligheter till deltagande i arbete för individer med neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning i allmänhet och autismspektrumtillstånd i synnerhet i Stockholms stad / The vision “A Stockholm for everyone” - but is it possible for everyone to participate? : A study about regulatory documents description of possibilities for individuals with neuropsychiatric disabilities in general and autism spectrum disorder specifically to participate in employment within the municipality’s various functions.Ax, Carola, Norén, Malin January 2019 (has links)
De senaste decennierna har förutsättningarna på arbetsmarknaden förändrats till följd av bland annat den tekniska utvecklingen och ökade krav på stresstolerans och social kompetens. Vi har upptäckt ett forskningsgap gällande möjligheter för individer med autismspektrumtillstånd att delta på den svenska arbetsmarknaden genom anställning. Studiens syfte var att undersöka Stockholms stads styrdokuments beskrivning av krav och ideal på medarbetare samt vilka insatser som bedrivs. Detta för att undersöka möjligheterna för individer med neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning i allmänhet och autismspektrumtillstånd i synnerhet att delta genom arbete i kommunens verksamheter. Vi har genomfört en dokumentstudie och använt induktiv tematisk analys för att söka förståelse. Vår slutsats är att kraven på medarbetarna tenderar hindra deltagande i arbete för studiens fokusgrupp särskilt gällande krav på social kompetens och utveckling av kommunens verksamheter. Kravet på individanpassning kan tyda på ökade möjligheter till deltagande. Då insatserna på daglig verksamhet har bristande incitament att nå reguljär arbetsmarknad kan fokus på insatser i verksamheterna hindra möjligheterna till deltagande i arbete för fokusgruppen / The last decades, prerequisites on the labour market have changed due to technical development and elevated demands on stress-resistance and social skills. We have distinguished a research gap in terms of examining the possibilities to attend the competitive labour market for adults with autism spectrum disorder in Sweden. The aim of this study is to examine regulatory documents from Stockholm municipality and how they describe requirements and ideals on their employees and which efforts they conduct. This to examine the possibilities for individuals with neuropsychiatric disabilities in general and autism spectrum disorder specifically to participate through employment within the municipality’s various functions. Our conclusion is that the demands on the employees tend to hinder participation in work for the focus group because of demands on social competencies and constant development of the organisations various functions. The demand on personal adaption could contribute to increase participation. Since the efforts within daily activities tend to lack incentives to reach the competitive labour market, a large focus on these efforts might hinder further participation in work for the focus group.

Licence to Talk : Sustainability Managers and their Managerial Realities within the Corporate Sustainability ParadoxEl hajjari Borg, Mounia, Sundberg, Elin January 2021 (has links)
While sustainability-dedicated managers and related titles represent a profession that has hardly existed for more than a decade, it is not surprising that the field of research concentrating on these professionals is in itself relatively new. With an increasing demand for corporations to take their social and environmental responsibility, and a corporate sustainability characterized by tension and paradox, we found it of importance to explore the role and entanglements of these professionals. By analysing 17 in-depth interviews with sustainability-dedicated professionals from the private sector in Sweden, our interpretation is that sustainability managers hold the function of selling sustainability, with talk as their main weapon. Expressly, in the intersection between business-case logics and sustainability logics, sustainability managers have to, above all, make a convincing case for sustainability, inwards and outwards. Therefore, they draw dynamically on different narratives which we conceptualise in three roles: the chameleon, the pragmatic, and the nagging manager. Through these roles, we intend to capture the fluidity with which the managers relate and engage with sustainability, and hence we do not mean to ossify a role’s dynamics within a single, static or stereotypical category. We discuss these findings and concepts to the background of previous studies and existing literature.
