It shows particular attention to the use of school's uniforms in the pedagogical practices of the institution. The investigation extended from the first year of that institution, in 1931, until 1971, when, by law 5692/71, the "ginásio escolares" have extinguished, being replaced by first and second grade´s schools. Aims to understand the early years of the institution, particularly about the school´s uniform in the light of reflection António Nóvoa (1999) in the form of educational organization. / Esta dissertação versa sobre a história da primeira escola pública a oferecer ensino secundário na cidade de São Vicente: o ginásio estadual "Martim Afonso". Por meio de imagens é feita uma reconstrução histórica, que dedica especial atenção ao uso do uniforme escolar durante as práticas pedagógicas. A investigação estende-se de 1931, primeiro ano de vida do "Martim Afonso", até 1971, quando, por força de lei número 5692 de 1971, os ginásios escolares deixaram de existir, dando lugar às escolas de primeiro e de segundo graus. O objetivo desta pesquisa é compreender os primeiros anos de existência dessa instituição, particularmente no que diz respeito ao uniforme escolar, à luz da reflexão de António Nóvoa (1999), referente à forma de organização educacional.

This work addresses the history, development and conservation of the Werkbund exhibition estates in Europe. Specifically, these are six housing estates built between 1927-1932 in Stuttgart, Brno, Wroclaw, Zurich, Vienna and Prague as part of exhibitions of modern living. The aim is to compare the development in individual cities and above all their preservation and the way of conservation and restoration. The first chapter deals with the formation of colonies and their differences. In the next part we deal with the fate and the structural changes during the war and the first post-war years until the first colony was declared a monument. The third chapter explains the developments in the 1960s and early 1980s, the beginnings of monument conservation and the first comprehensive renovation of the housing estates. The last chapter focuses on today's housing estates, today's approach to the restoration of functionalist architecture and its pitfalls. In all chapters, we managed to compare the development and to show the specifics of the individual files, which made it possible to specify why the colonies need to be protected, the extent to which they are preserved today, how much they are preserved, and what problems the building regeneration brings. Due to the different status and approach in individual...

Diese Dissertation besteht aus einer Einleitung und drei empirischen Kapiteln, die sich mit verschiedenen Aspekten der Offenmarktgeschäfte der Bank of England in der Zwischenkriegszeit befassen. Offenmarktgeschäfte sind der Kauf und Verkauf von kurzfristigen Staatsanleihen. Die Einleitung definiert Instrumente und Ziele der Geldpolitik und beschreibt welche Folgen die veränderte Rolle Großbritanniens in der Welt nach dem 1. Weltkrieg für die Geldpolitik hatte. Das zweite Kapitel zeigt, wie Offenmarktgeschäfte die verfügbare Liquidität auf dem Londoner Geldmarkt erhöhen oder senken können. Dies erlaubt die kurzfristigen Marktzinsen relativ zum Leitzins zu steuern, was wiederum häufige Änderungen der Leitzinsen unnötig machte. Die empirische Analyse zeigt, dass Offenmarktgeschäfte die Wahrscheinlichkeit verändern können, dass Marktteilnehmer sich Geld bei der Diskontfazilität leihen müssen. Das dritte Kapitel zeigt, dass Offenmarktgeschäfte noch weitere Zwecke erfüllen. In der Finanzkrise von 1931 trugen Offenmarktgeschäfte dazu bei die größten Geschäftsbanken in London vor größerem Schaden zu bewahren. Der Verlust von Goldreserven wurde durch Offenmarktgeschäfte in großem Maße kompensiert und stabilisierte so die Liquidität der Geschäftsbanken. Das vierte Kapitel zeigt, dass Offenmarktgeschäfte zudem eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Stabilisierung der kurzfristigen Marktzinsen nach Kriegsausbruch 1939 spielten. Die empirische Analyse zeigt wie sorgfältig gewählte Laufzeiten von Offenmarktgeschäften dazu beigetragen haben, übermäßige Schwankungen der kurzfristigen Marktzinsen zu verhindern. Insgesamt deutet diese Dissertation darauf hin, dass die Bank of England in der Zwischenkriegszeit ähnlich einer modernen Zentralbank agierte. Kurzfristige Marktzinsen waren das operatives Ziel der Geldpolitik und nicht die Zentralbankgeldmenge. Im Jahr 1931 zog die Bank of England es vor die Geschäftsbanken zu stützen, auch wenn dies die Aufgabe des festen Wechselkurses bedeutete. / This dissertation consists of an introductory chapter and three empirical chapters which deal with various aspects of open-market operations by the Bank of England during the interwar period. Open-market operations are the purchase and sale of Treasury bills. The introduction defines monetary policy implementation and describes the economic circumstances after World War I and outlines what consequences the changing role of Britain in the world had for monetary policy. The second chapter shows how open-market operations could add or drain liquidity in the London money market and help steer short-term market rates relative to the Bank rate, which made frequent changes in the Bank Rate unnecessary. The empirical analysis shows that open-market operations could change the probability of market participants having to borrow at the discount facility. The third chapter argues that in time of crisis the purpose of open-market operations goes further. During the financial crisis of 1931 open-market operations most likely helped to protect the largest clearing banks in London from severe harm. The empirical analysis shows how open-market operations offset the effect of reserves losses at an unprecedented scale and stabilized the liquidity of the London clearing banks. Chapter four examines the role of open-market operation after the outbreak of war in 1939. Open-market operations played a crucial role in stabilizing short-term market rates and preserving the London money market in its original form, most notably the London discount houses and clearing banks. The descriptive evidence shown suggests how carefully chosen maturities of open-market operations helped offset any undue disturbances to short-term market rates after the outbreak of war. Overall, this dissertation suggests that the Bank of England, not unlike modern central banks, targeted short-term market rates, not some monetary quantity, and chose banking stability over a fixed exchange rate in 1931.

La première partie de ce mémoire, L’ossature de l’existence, est un récit de voyage dans lequel le narrateur entreprend une recherche identitaire en parcourant les États-Unis et le Canada. Le récit, qui s’approche parfois de l’essai, explore certains thèmes très présents dans la littérature québécoise, tels que l’errance, le déracinement, l’autochtonie, et le rapport du Québec francophone avec l’Amérique. S’y faufilent aussi des réflexions sur les ruptures; sur l’immuabilité du passé, la fragilité et l’éphémérité du présent, et les incertitudes de l’avenir. La seconde partie, « La rupture identitaire chez Richler et MacLennan », propose une analyse de la relation amoureuse entre francophones et anglophones dans The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz et Two Solitudes. Le texte étudie la façon dont sont représentés les rapports de pouvoirs entre les deux groupes culturels dans les romans, mais aussi comment ils sont alimentés par des déterminants identitaires et par une certaine philosophie libérale, qui s’incarne entre autres dans le « rêve américain » et la primauté de l’individu sur le collectif.

Ce mémoire explore le rôle de la satire dans les quatre romans canadiens suivants : The apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz (1959) et Barney's version (1997) de Mordecai Richler ainsi que Why rock the boat (1961) et The underdogs (1979) de William Weintraub. Ayant pour objectif de démontrer que ces deux auteurs, qui se servent des approches satiriques contrastantes, sont des innovateurs dans la tradition satirique canadienne à cause de leur regard sur des préoccupations urbaines et minoritaires, cette étude examine dans un premier temps les aspects de la société montréalaise qui sont des objets de satire dans Why rock the boat et The apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. Ensuite, ce mémoire étudie la façon dont ces auteurs mitigent leurs réponses au nationalisme québécois dans The underdogs et Barney's version afin de produire une vision satirique qui critique le mouvement souverainiste, mais s'avère sympathique à la langue et la culture des franco-québécois.

This dissertation of limited scope traces the attempts by Gorbachev (1985-1991) to reform an economic, political and social system which was in a state of terminal decline. The origins of its demise, it is argued, lay in the ossified command economy inherited from Stalin. The enormous damage inflicted on Soviet agriculture during collectivisation in the 1930s~ when millions of productive peasants died, proved to be a fatal blow to that sector. Tlms, Gorbachev followed a two-fold strategy ofrefonn. Glasnost (openness) was introduced to allow constructive debate on economic and social matters. Despite a hesitant beginning, the right to criticise allowed the emergence of more radical campaigners, such as Yeltsin who demanded greater democracy. Significantly, the revival of ethnic nationalist demands in the republics led to disintegration. Perestroika (restructuring) was intended to modernise and boost living standards. The economy faltered but the market was not yet in place / History / M.A. (History)

The dissertation explores the work of two African artists: Lamidi O. Fakeye a Yoruba wood carver, and Ahmed M. Shibrain a Sudanese painter, as an exemplary development within African art during the second half of the 20th century. It examines their works through the sense of "tradition" as it is seen within the context of their cultures and their histories. It considers their works to be a reflection of their time, a hybrid art and a new tradition emerging within their respective cultures as a result of change in their societies. It argues against the notion that separates their art from their traditions and their histories based on the artificial barriers of "authenticity" in the literature on African art and the various categories that are related to it. It ponders on the contradictions and complexity that this situation has created and demonstrated that these categories negate historical realities. The dissertation is in two parts. The first part describes and analyses some of Lamidi's Christian and secular carvings. His work is placed in its appropriate historical perspective by revealing its close relationship to the carvings of his predecessors in terms of themes, design, content and clients. Innovation and change in his work through time and space is revealed. In the second part, the dissertation defines the connectivity of Shibrain's work to his tradition and its history, and that of his fellow artists who contributed to the development of a new trend in Sudanese art. It discusses their work on the basis of the 'idea' of art in Islam, their training and their heritage of decorative art and Arabic calligraphy. It argues that innovation, influence, borrowing and adaptation, are part of progress in art through the ages.

This study offers an ecumenical exploration of human transformation through the examination of this topic in the thought of Karl Barth (1888-1968), a Swiss Reformed theologian; Joseph Ratzinger (b. 1927), a Roman Catholic theologian; and John Zizioulas (b. 1931), a Greek Orthodox theologian. Describing and understanding human transformation stands as a crucial task for theology because no one is simply born a Christian—in order to be a Christian one must become a Christian. The first chapter introduces this topic, the three theologians (highlighting their commonalities), and the three questions that guide the analysis of each theologian and the thesis as a whole: What is the goal of human transformation? What is the basis of human transformation? How are humans transformed? Chapters 2, 3, and 4 treat the topic of human transformation in the theology of Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas, respectively. All three understand the goal of human transformation to be the prayer of the children of God, and locate its basis in God’s reconciling act in Jesus Christ—an act itself based in the primordial divine decision to be God pro nobis. Even within this broad agreement, however, differences are evident, especially with regard to eschatology. Consideration of how this transformation occurs reveals significant differences concerning the agency of Jesus Christ in relation to the Holy Spirit and the church. The final chapter explores 1) the convergences and divergences between Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas regarding human transformation; 2) the contributions of this study to the interpretation of Barth, Ratzinger, and Zizioulas; and 3) the relationship between human transformation and participation in God. Throughout, attention is given to the relationship between Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the church, the eschaton, and the triunity of God and human transformation. All three accounts of human transformation point beyond the transition between sinful and redeemed humanity to a dynamic anthropology in which the constant asking, receiving, thanking, and asking again is the very “ontological location” of the eschatological life of humanity: our being is in becoming.
