Das Materielle im Sozialen: Architektur als Bedingung und Teil der \"Definition der Situation\"

L'archéomuséologie : un modèle conceptuel interdisciplinaire

Desrosiers, Pierre 12 April 2018 (has links)
L’archéologie et la muséologie sont deux disciplines scientifiques qui s’inscrivent dans les préoccupations de la société occidentale vis-à-vis de son passé. Leur historique témoigne de convergences et de divergences d’intérêts relatifs à l’acquisition et à la diffusion des connaissances. Les convergences portent essentiellement sur l’objet qui depuis deux cents ans unit les musées et les chercheurs souvent au sein d’un même lieu de travail. Le musée se définit comme un lieu de recherche, de conservation et de diffusion; ce sont des rôles que l’antiquaire, puis l’archéologue, ont d’ailleurs joués lorsque le musée était considéré comme un laboratoire et une vitrine sur le passé. Les divergences sont plutôt d’ordre disciplinaire car elles découlent du besoin de la part de la communauté scientifique et professionnelle, de définir un cadre méthodologique et d’explorer le potentiel de leurs champs d’application respectifs. L’évolution scientifique de l’archéologie et de la muséologie au Québec a été rapide et suit de près un essor disciplinaire qui se manifeste en Amérique du Nord et en Europe depuis tout au plus quarante ans. Une fois ces paramètres disciplinaires établis, la convergence interdisciplinaire peut s’opérer à nouveau. La présente recherche prend ainsi comme base la difficulté de concilier les intérêts scientifiques de recherche et la diffusion des connaissances auprès de la société. La transmission des connaissances est au cœur de la problématique de cette recherche doctorale. Des signes d’interdisciplinarité étant déjà perceptibles dans ces deux domaines de recherche, le modèle archéomuséologique se veut un exemple concret qui démontre comment et pourquoi l’acquisition des connaissances se marie avec la diffusion des connaissances. Après avoir tracé le parcours historique de ces disciplines et inscrit celles-ci dans un discours scientifique, la thèse aborde le modèle conceptuel qui se base sur l’objet et, plus encore, sur son interprétation. Celle-ci sert d’interface pour les deux disciplines et permet d’articuler l’objet au sein d’une seule et même préoccupation interdisciplinaire, la transmission des connaissances. Le modèle projette dans un premier temps une typologie évolutive des musées d’archéologie et sert ensuite à constituer les éléments d’une grille d’analyse. Cette dernière fait ressortir les éléments du parcours et du discours interdisciplinaire, ainsi que ceux du traitement archéomuséologique, qui permettent d’activer la transmission des connaissances sur le passé. Par l’entremise de l’interprétation et son interface disciplinaire, le modèle fait valoir que le rôle joué par le contexte archéologique est déterminant. À travers l’étude du contexte archéologique, il est possible d’évaluer non seulement l’état de la recherche sur le site archéologique, mais aussi de mieux cerner les visions du passé qui sont véhiculées dans les musées. Pour vérifier cette hypothèse, quatre musées d’archéologie du Québec sont mis à l’épreuve : Pointe-à-Callière, le musée d’archéologie et d’histoire de Montréal; le Centre Archéo Topo; le Parc archéologique de la Pointe-du-Buisson; et le Lieu historique national du Parc-de-l’Artillerie. Ces musées constituent des cas types québécois où l’acquisition et la diffusion des connaissances témoignent directement de la volonté de la société de transmettre au visiteur le passé. Loin d’évoluer en vase clos, l’archéologie et la muséologie du Québec participent activement aux débats scientifiques et publics qui ont cours en Amérique du Nord et à l’Europe. Dans un premier temps, la validation du modèle explore l’interdisciplinarité et les connexions qui peuvent être faites entre diverses disciplines. Il en ressort l’importance de maintenir une autonomie disciplinaire en matière de recherche et la nécessité d’accepter le défi de l’interdépendance en matière d’interprétation. Dans un deuxième temps, la validation examine plus spécifiquement la portée des visions du passé qui sont exprimées dans les musées d’archéologie. En greffant les voix et les échos du passé aux visions du passé véhiculées par les musées d’archéologie, il est possible d’observer la façon dont les valeurs idéologiques, culturelles et sociales sont transmises. Si elles sont inévitables, ces valeurs doivent à tout le moins être fondées sur ce que révèle l’étude de l’objet et son contexte archéologique. C’est pourquoi le modèle archéomuséologique insiste sur l’importance de se servir de l’histoire du lieu, racontée par l’archéologie et d’autres disciplines, comme ancrage pour assurer la transmission des connaissances. Étant directement interpellée par l’histoire du lieu, la population locale est amenée à jouer un rôle actif dans la réflexion que la société occidentale veut entretenir avec son passé. / Archaeology and museology are two scientific disciplines that are closely associated with Western society’s preoccupation with its past. The history of these disciplines has been marked by episodes of convergence and of divergence of interests with respect to acquiring and disseminating knowledge. Episodes of convergence have focused on the object, which for the last 200 years has brought museums and researchers together, often in the same workplace. By definition, the museum is a place of research, conservation and outreach; these are the roles that were played by the antiquarian, and later by the archaeologist, at the time when a museum was considered to be both a laboratory and a window onto the past. In contrast, episodes of divergence tend to be related to the disciplines themselves and arise from the needs of the scientific and professional community to establish certain parameters by defining their respective methodological frameworks and exploring the potential extent of their fields of activity. The development of archaeology and museology in Québec has been rapid and, for the last 40 years, has closely followed a disciplinary expansion in North America and Europe. It is argued here, however, that once the disciplines’ parameters have been established convergent interests should once more be able to come to the fore. The research presented here takes as a given the difficulty of reconciling the scientific interests of research with the dissemination of knowledge to society. The transmission of knowledge is a central concept in the problem addressed by this doctoral research. Since signs of interdisciplinarity are at present perceptible in the two fields of research, the proposed archaeomuseological model is intended as a concrete example demonstrating how and why the acquisition of knowledge is compatible with the dissemination of knowledge. After tracing the historical development of the two disciplines and placing them in the context of scientific discourse, the dissertation presents a conceptual model, based on the object and, more particularly, on the interpretation of the object. Interpretation acts as an interface for the two disciplines, making it possible to deal with the object as part of a single interdisciplinary concern, that is, the transmission of knowledge. The conceptual model is first used to project a three-step typology of archaeological museums and then to formulate the basic components of an analytical grid. This grid helps to identify elements related to interdisciplinary development and discourse, as well as those related to archaeomuseological treatment; in other words, elements that make it possible to activate the transmission of knowledge about the past. Through interpretation and its disciplinary interface, the model clearly shows the determining role played by the archaeological context. It is proposed that a study of the archaeological context makes it possible not only to evaluate the state of research on archaeological sites but also to better understand the visions of the past that are conveyed by museums. To verify this hypothesis, the model is applied to four archaeological museums in Québec: Pointe-à-Callière Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History; Archéo Topo Centre; Pointe-du-Buisson Archaeological Park; and Artillery Park Heritage Site of Canada. These institutions typify Québec museums in which the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge directly express Western society’s preoccupation with transmitting the past to the public. Far from developing in isolation, Québec archaeology and museology are actively involved in the scientific and public debates currently taking place in North America and Europe. The first step in the validation of the model is an exploration of interdisciplinarity and the connections that might be made between various disciplines. This exploration makes clear the importance of maintaining disciplinary independence with respect to research and the necessity of taking up the challenge of interdisciplinarity when it comes to interpretation. The second step in the validation offers a more specific examination of how visions of the past expressed in archaeological museums vary in their scope. By comparing the voices and echoes of the past with the visions of the past conveyed by museums, it is possible to observe the way in which ideological, cultural and social values are transmitted. Although such transmission is unavoidable, these values should at the very least be based on knowledge revealed by the object and its archaeological context. It is for this reason that the archaeomuseological model stresses the importance of using a site’s history, as revealed by archaeology and other disciplines, as a point of reference to ensure the transmission of knowledge. In this way, the local population, for whom the history of the site has a direct appeal, is encouraged to play an active role in the reflection that Western society wishes to undertake with respect to its past.

L'utilisation des matières dures animales au Proche-Orient ancien

Gagnon, Isabelle 25 April 2018 (has links)
La culture matérielle est notre plus grand indice pour comprendre les cultures passées, particulièrement pour les périodes où les écrits sont absents. Au même titre que la céramique ou que les pièces lithiques, le matériel de matières dures animales (MDA) peut nous renseigner sur les sociétés anciennes et leurs habitudes de vie. Nous proposons ici une étude globale sur l'évolution de l'utilisation des objets en os, en ivoire et en coquillage du néolithique jusqu'au début de l'âge du fer dans les régions de la Mésopotamie septentrionale et du Levant. Cette étude se penche d'abord sur les contextes (spatial, temporel et culturel) dans lesquels ces objets ont été fabriqués et utilisés. Elle propose également une description des principaux types d'artefacts rencontrés, selon leur matériau. Enfin, l'étude est complétée par une analyse comparative réunissant les caractères principaux qui se dégagent des assemblages, ainsi qu'une interprétation symbolique de la signification et de l'utilisation fonctionnelle des objets de MDA. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2014

Stenbruk : Stenartefakter, råmaterial och mobilitet i östra Mellansverige under tidig- och mellanmesolitikum

Gustafsson Gillbrand, Patrik January 2018 (has links)
This thesis examines artefacts, raw materials and lithic technology between c. 9200–6200 cal BC in Eastern Central Sweden. The overall purpose of this study is to investigate when people first came to Eastern Central Sweden and where they came from. More precisely, it provides a typological, geo­graphical and chronological survey of artefacts and the use of different raw materials. The study deals with assemblages with artefacts from more than thirty archaeologically excavated sites and loose finds in Eastern Central Sweden. The objects consist of chubby pecked axes, core axes, flake axes, shaft hole picks, microliths and micro burins, points, burins, rulers, uni­facial blade core, conical cores, micro blade cores, blades, drills, re­touched blades and micro blades. The artefacts have been compared with established typologies and chronologies for the rest of the Nordic countries and to some extent Russia and the Baltic States. An analysis of different raw mater­ials present at Early and Middle Mesolithic sites in Eastern Central Sweden was also carried out. The materials are put into a chronological and geo­graphical context. The raw materials included in the study are the non-local rocks flint and Cambrian flint, as well as local raw materials such as quartz, greenstone, local vulcanite, mylonite and red porphyry. From 9200 cal BC there is evidence of the first groups of people in the area, just shortly after that the Weichselian ice cap had withdrawn. Throughout the period studied the artefacts as well as the non-local raw materials exhibit great similarities to those found in the western part of Sweden. The study also shows, regar­ding the use of different raw materials and presence of certain artefacts, that some major events took place, suggesting a new chronological time frame for the Early- and Middle Mesolithic periods. In addition, a discussion re­gar­­ding mobility and migration in Eastern Central Sweden during Early Post Glacial time is carried out.

Anguaks in Copper and Netsilik Inuit Spirituality

Pollick, Jason 07 May 2021 (has links)
The composition of and dynamics underlying the use of anguaks are described in great detail. The discussion is largely confined to the Copper and Netsilik Inuit, although several other groups are touched on by way of comparison. The work consists firstly of a summary and interpretation of Rasmussen's (1931) chapter devoted to Netsilik anguaks. This material is then synthesized with material collected over the course of several participant-focused interviews conducted with seven Inuit elders from the community of Cambridge Bay. For clarity of presentation, several factors have been distinctly considered: the material composition of anguaks derived from animals, anguaks relating to human beings, women's objects, and shamanic paraphernalia. Based on these findings, a sample of 15 artifacts from the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation's collections are interpreted and discussed.

Physicians‟ information practices : a case study of a medical team at a Teaching Hospital

Isah, Esther Ebole January 2012 (has links)
This thesis is a user study within library and information science on participatory practices of a professional group in work activity. This has been investigated only to a minor extent in previous library and information science research. The qualitative empirical focus alternates between physicians‟ engagements in work practice and workplace learning within patient care. The overall research problem was to learn how people in workplaces interacted with information that was embedded, intricately intertwined, and tightly bound to the ongoing routines of their everyday work. This thesis aims at understanding information practices of professionals in occupational settings as exemplified by a team of physicians in a Nigerian teaching hospital. In this thesis, the focus was on the collective work activity, and the specific goals identified include how physicians interact and make meaning in the context of the social activities in the workplace, how professionals individually or collectively gather, understand, produce, share and use information, and how workplace learning influences information practices. Information practices are viewed as sociocultural practices that occur inside other practices. The thesis focuses on a nuanced, contextualized understanding of the interplay between the participating actors in activity, the activity per se, and the intermediary role of tools and artefacts. The epistemological point of departure is the sociocultural perspective that emphasizes the dynamic interdependence of the individual with the social and collective development focusing on mediation through tools and artefacts in cultural, institutional, and historical situations. I have chosen cultural-historical activity theory and the practice theories to analyse the dynamic processes in the context of patient care. Their underlying principles guided the empirical study, facilitating extrapolations and illustrations in the analysis. The cultural-historical activity theory was used to understand contextual issues that influence information practices in work activity: the object and subject of activity, division of labour, rules and norms, community, tools and artefacts, as well as the activity system itself and the hierarchical structure of the activity. Theories and concepts employed from a practice perspective on learning were considered useful for understanding the participatory modes in workplace and the influence of social learning communities on diverse information processes. In so doing, the study strives to provide a holistic understanding of information practices, workplace learning, and the relationships between them.The empirical data was gathered through a qualitative case study that lasted over a period of two years. Direct observation was the dominant data collection technique 5 used throughout the preliminary and main empirical studies to capture physicians‟ information practices and experiences. The observation focused on the Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (CPT) team‟s encounters with patients; the interactions they had amongst themselves, and events and situations surrounding patient care. During the main study, other data collection techniques were employed alongside the observation method. In-depth open-ended interviews were conducted with 17 physicians and 9 non-physicians who were selected to provide rich and varied descriptions of the phenomena under study. The interview time totalled at 1,535 minutes. Physical artefacts were another data collection technique employed: 30 patients‟ medical records were assessed during the empirical study. Finally, informal interactions in the research setting were an additional data collection technique used continuously throughout the two empirical periods. The results were analyzed through a combination of inductive and deductive methods of analysis. There are four parts to the empirical results in this thesis. In the first, contextual elements that showed how work environment can be an influencing factor in the information practices of a professional group are described from the perspective of cultural historical activity theory. In the second part, the nature of information access in the real-world information environment was portrayed. It was found that information sources and strategies contributed to the overarching goal of restoring patient health to normalcy. The information sources and strategies were also found useful for mediating the information environment both subjectively and intersubjectively. An equally important result concerns the authority issues related to information sources and strategies. In the third part, available tools and artefacts were presented as useful information aids that also played a mediating role. Tools were categorised into physical tools and language. Language was categorized according to the social situations or classes of speakers. The case notes were seen as useful artefact and occupied a central niche in the studied work activity. These tools and artefacts enabled affordances around which social practices were built on in the work activities. In the last part of the results, various information practices that mirror the participatory practices rather than those of isolated individuals are highlighted. Six dimensions made up and covered the most vital spectrum of the information processing: information gathering, meaning making, information sharing, information use, reading, and documentation. Furthermore, the study revealed that learning took place simultaneously with the work activity and that it influenced information practices at the same time. / <p>Academic dissertation for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science at the University of Borås to be publicly defended on Friday 19 October 2012 at 13.00 in lecture room D 211, University of Borås, Allégatan 1, Borås.</p>

Proton radiotherapy uncertainties arising from computed tomography

Warren, Daniel Rosevear January 2014 (has links)
Proton radiotherapy is a cancer treatment which has the potential to offer greater cure rates and/or fewer serious side effects than conventional radiotherapy. Its availability in the UK is currently limited to a single low-energy fixed beamline for the treatment of ocular tumours, but a number of facilities designed to treat deep-seated tumours are in development. This thesis focusses on the quantitative use of x-ray computed tomography (CT) images in planning proton radiotherapy treatments. It arrives at several recommendations that can be used to inform clinical protocols for the acquisition of planning scans, and their subsequent use in treatment planning systems. The primary tool developed is a software CT scanner, which simulates images of an anthropomorphic virtual phantom, informed by measurements taken on a clinical scanner. The software is used to investigate the accuracy of the stoichiometric method for calibrating CT image pixel values to proton stopping power, with particular attention paid to the impact of beam hardening and photon starvation artefacts. The strength of the method adopted is in allowing comparison between CT-estimated and exactly-calculated proton stopping powers derived from the same physical data (specified in the phantom), leading to results that are difficult to obtain otherwise. A number of variations of the stoichiometric method are examined, identifying the best-performing calibration phantom and CT tube voltage (kVp). Improvements in accuracy are observed when using a second-pass beam hardening correction algorithm. Also presented is a method for identifying the proton paths where stopping power uncertainties are likely to be greatest. Estimates of the proton range uncertainties caused by CT artefacts and calibration errors are obtained for a range of realistic clinical scenarios. The current practice of including planning margins equivalent to 3.5% of the range is found to ensure coverage in all but the very worst of cases. Results herein suggest margins could be reduced to <2% if the best-performing protocol is followed; however, an analysis specific to the CT scanner and treatment site in question should be carried out before such a change is made in the clinic.

To Sample, or Not to Sample: That Is the Question : The use of scientific analytical methods on archaeological collections. / Att provta eller icke provta: det är frågan : Användandet av vetenskapliga analysmetoder i arkeologiska samlingar.

Maria, Aili Törmä January 2016 (has links)
The thesis explores the complex area between preservation of museum collections, and the need to allow access to the collections and the artefacts for researchers. The focus is on archaeological collections, and inorganic materials in particular. The aim is to illustrate the problems, as well as the opportunities, of archaeological scientific analysis when combined with museological sciences such as materiality and material culture studies, theories of object biographies, the concept of objects as actors, and the issue of silent objects. Exploring the exchange between the museological and the natural sciences to promote enhanced usage of collection artefacts, and to explore whether there are real barriers or if they are perceived due to a lack of mutual understanding. Methodologically it is a text based analysis of the research situation internationally and nationally in Sweden, with a case study comprised of observation of a research team that at the same time were making archaeometallurgical analyses of bronze age objects, and interviews with a small group connected to the areas of interest for this thesis. The sources have consisted of the material generated by the case study, as well as the text material used to provide the necessary background. By using text analysis, Actor-network theory, observation, and interviews, the discussions can revolve around the theoretical perspectives of materiality, object biography and silent objects, with the premise that sample analyses could bring back some context to an artefact. The findings indicate that the museum sector and other disciplines would greatly benefit from closer collaborations with each other and work more interdisciplinary. Museum collections harbour artefacts that could enrich the collective disciplines with their informative values, and with a mass of sampled and analysed context-less artefacts, new and fascinating patterns could emerge, leading to new discoveries. The findings also show that, in archaeology, this is already in motion, and the hope is that this develops on a larger scale in the museum sector as well. / Den här uppsatsen undersöker det snåriga område mellan museers plikt att bevara samlingarna samt behovet att tillåta åtkomst för forskare till samlingarna och föremålen. Fokus ligger på arkeologiska samlingar, och oorganiskt material i synnerhet. Syftet är att belysa problemen, samt de möjligheter som arkeologisk vetenskaplig analys har att ge i kombination med museivetenskapliga begrepp såsom materialitet och materiell kultur, teorier om objektbiografi, objekt som aktörer och ”tysta” föremål. Uppsatsen utforskar utbyten mellan musei- och naturvetenskap som främjar ökad användning av föremål i samlingar, och undersöker om det finns verkliga hinder i utbytet eller om de endast är upplevda på grund av en bristande ömsesidig förståelse. Metodologiskt är det en textbaserad analys av forskningsläget internationellt och nationellt i Sverige, med en fallstudie bestående av observation av en forskargrupp som samtidigt gjorde arkeometallurgiska analyser av bronsåldersföremål, och intervjuer med en liten grupp personer med koppling till intresseområdena för denna uppsats. Källorna består av det material som genererats av fallstudien, samt den litteratur som gett den nödvändiga bakgrunden. Genom att använda textanalys, Actor-network theory, observation och intervjuer, kretsar diskussionerna runt teoretiska perspektiv som materialitet och materiell kultur, objektbiografi och ”tysta” föremål utifrån förutsättningen att analys kan återföra lite av en artefakts kontext. Resultaten visar på att museisektorn och andra discipliner i hög grad skulle tjäna på ett närmare samarbete och att arbeta mer tvärvetenskapligt. Museisamlingar inhyser föremål som skulle kunna berika de samlade disciplinerna med sina informativa värden, och med en mängd provtagningar och analyser av kontextlösa föremål kan nya och fascinerande mönster framträda, vilket i sin tur kan leda till nya upptäckter. Resultaten visar också att detta redan är satt i rörelse inom åtminstone arkeologin, men förhoppningen är att detta även kan ske i större skala inom museisektorn.

Estimer, mesurer et corriger les artefacts de compression pour la télévision numérique

Crété-Roffet, Frédérique 29 November 2007 (has links) (PDF)
La compression, nécessaire à la transmission des images numériques diffusées sur les télévisions, est responsable de dégradations appelées artefacts. Pour obtenir des images de meilleure qualité, la correction des artefacts doit être efficace, robuste au large panel dimages diffusées, et simple pour que ces images soient traitées en temps réel avant leur diffusion. Pour obtenir ce compromis, notre étude se divise en 3 axes : l'estimation, la mesure et la correction.<br />En estimant quels sont les artefacts les plus gênants et les risques encourus à les corriger, nous définissons la problématique de ce travail : comment corriger les effets de bloc et de ringing qui sont des artefacts de compression sans risquer de faire apparaître un artefact de correction tel que le flou ?<br />Les métriques objectives, validées par des tests subjectifs, permettent de mesurer ces artefacts. L'étude de l'état de l'art, associée à la modélisation de notre manière de percevoir ces artefacts, nous permet d'aboutir au développement du BLE (Block Level Estimator) et du BluM (Blur Metric), métriques objectives destinées à estimer respectivement leffet de bloc et le flou sur une image. <br />La correction de l'effet de bloc et de l'effet de ringing peut ensuite être guidée et validée par ces métriques. Nous proposons des modules permettant d'améliorer, de rendre plus robustes et d'implémenter facilement les corrections existantes. Puis, pour résoudre la problématique, nous intégrons ces modules dans une solution générale appelée SQDSE (Studio Quality Digital Source Enhancement) destinée à supprimer les effets de bloc et de ringing. La structure du SQDSE et sa validation par des tests visuels et par les résultats du BLE et du BluM montrent que le compromis entre l'efficacité, la robustesse et la simplicité est atteint.
