Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Historia. / A través de esta investigación de carácter exploratorio se ha pretendido hacer un acercamiento más profundo que amplio, a un actor sociopolítico específico, como es el Movimiento Estudiantil Secundario en Santiago entre los años 1983-86. El interés en el tema surge a partir de la constatación de un vacío de conocimiento en relación a la particular década de 1980 y más específicamente de los actores movilizados en ese periodo.

If the turkey in the title of this thesis is the author, then what is left of him - for the time being, at least - is this work: the meat closest to the bone, bits of literary flesh which this somewhat carnivorous society failed to strip away. I offer it now for consumption and become a new animal. This thesis is divided into three units: poetry, translation and short story. The first section comprises a selection of earlier poems and the beginnings of a book tentatively titled Somewhere East. From random impressions in the early work, a more solid poetic analysis develops around the nation of Quebec. The central theme here is one of struggle. Unit two is a selection from four books by the French poet Guillevic, rendered here in English translation. From early work in Terraqué (Paris: Editions Gallimard, 1942) and Exécutoire (Paris: Editions Gallimard, 1948) to more recent poems in Carnac (Paris, Editions Gallimard, 1961) and Avec (Paris, Editions Gallimard, 1966), Guillevic's view remains simple and sympathetic, his poems the voice of one allied with the natural but oppressed by the reality of his social condition. The third unit contains three short fictions in prose which experiment with the fantasy which may be our own particular reality. These are lies about other "turkeys", about the tensions, silences and violence which drive them towards rebellion before they have nothing left at all. / Arts, Faculty of / Graduate

Studying the interaction of people with the objects around them is essential to designers. A designer must study in detail: the hold, the fit in the hand, the effect of movement, the placement, and the juxtaposition and relation of objects to one another. Insight derived from such investigation determines the form given to an object. However, the answer is not a static or rote response to function. The designer searches to balance meaning with practicality, while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of perception to make people reconsider how and why objects exist. Questions of changing social customs, habits, rituals and traditions are explored. The resulting form reflects the manner in which the object is used. Shape is given to ritual. The intent is for design to reflect the order of day to day existence. It is not important whether an object is a recognizable form or whether it looks like its predecessors. However, upon consideration one should realize the form is correct. The object possesses meaning; it is appropriate for its time. The process is on-going, requiring the designer to continually re-evaluate and re-define the human condition by assessing the world we make and how we exist within it. One pursues better ways to facilitate daily life, never becoming complacent with existing products. More acutely, it is requisite for the designer to maintain an ongoing dialogue with their work-an empirical process of evaluating and analyzing past objects in order to make the decisions that allow the beginning of the next. / Master of Architecture

This study's primary goal was to specify what cultural sensitivity is and delineate the process of its formation. In addition, the role that cultural sensitivity plays within the international buying process was probed. Accordingly, antecedents and consequences of cultural sensitivity are specified. Overall, this study empirically examines buyer/seller interactions within the Asian Pacific Rim. Based on multiple in-depth interviews of key informants, salient strategic domains emerged and are delineated within a Grounded Theory model. Within the early analysis phases, trust emerged as a salient domain and a consequence of cultural sensitivity. This study examines the structure of trust as well as its role within the international buying process. Four structural dimensions of cultural sensitivity emerged: (1) cultural declarative knowledge, (2) etic (outsiders') procedural knowledge, (3) emic (insiders') procedural knowledge, and (4) environmental scanning. In addition, the process of cultural sensitivity was found to have the following four stages: (1) The Honeymooner; (2) The Worker; (3) The Outsider; and (4) The Transspector. Each stage was shown to vary in terms of four structural dimensions. In addition, culture shock is explained within this model. A new conceptualization of trust emerged with the four following dimensions: (1) integrity trust, (2) caring trust, (3) benevolence trust, and (4) reliability trust. Of key importance, shared frames of meaning emerged as a new dyadic construct with the following two dimensions: (1) shared declarative frames, and (2) shared procedural frames. Finally, an overall model is introduced with antecedents, and consequences of these three focal domains: cultural sensitivity, trust, and shared frames of meaning. / Ph. D.

The Eilat Research and Study Center, adjacent to the spring of Ein Netafim and roughly seven miles from the city of Eilat in southern Israel, will be a meeting-place for scientists and artists from around the world interested in issues pertaining to the desert. It will be a ‘monastery of the mind’. Semi-autonomous and distanced from an urban setting, this will be a place for intellectual refuge, a community of people with common goals, interests, and aspirations. The spring of Ein Netafim is situated at the beginning of a small canyon that descends to the shores of the Red Sea. The Center will be situated on the steep northern slope of this canyon, overlooking the wash. While always populated, the desert in these regions has rendered human habitation difficult. With the advent of new technology many adversities can be overcome, yet the challenge remains to create a built environment that can accommodate its residents while respecting the splendor and fierceness of its surroundings. The proposed architectural solution to this challenge is possible thanks to the predominant use of retaining walls that allow the creation of public and private spaces. The Center takes its form from the slope on which it resides, and continues a well-established tradition of monastic building in this area. Construction has been limited to a small number of components which accommodate themselves to the different requirements and scales throughout the project. And throughout the Center, care has been given to creating a variety of spaces that will answer different needs and encourage the interaction of its participants, all the while retaining architectural coherence and the sense of a unified whole. / Master of Architecture

The mobilization of the New Christian Right (NCR) has been a topic of scholarly interest and research since the early 1980s. This research attempts to explain this phenomenon by analyzing the mobilizing strategies and tactics of its most successful organization, the Moral Majority, toward its target constituency of Evangelical Christians. Resource mobilization theory explain grassroots mobilization by analyzing how social movement organizations (SMOs) use resources to mobilize people to political activity. Studies from this structural perspective credit the Moral Majority's mobilization of televangelists and political preacher in fundamentalist denominations who recruited from among their followers for the rise of the NCR. New social psychological research explains mobilizations by analyzing how people interact in ways that politicize their view of themselves and the world. Studies from this perspective attribute the political conservatism of Evangelicals to various measures of collective identity and politicized religious consciousness. This research constructs a theoretical model that synthesizes both perspectives and then tests this model with data from the 1983 Evangelical Voter Survey. Results of regression analyses offer limited support for the model. Most of the hypotheses that the model advances are confirmed, but unexpected direct effects of structural variables on dependent political variables suggest weaknesses in theory or measurement and suggest avenues for further research. / Master of Science
