Uppsatsen undersöker temat barns synlighet och känslor utifrån psykoterapeuten Alice Millers teorier, och utforskar detta i relation till Muminmammans roll, osynliga barn som blir synliga, hur miljön gestaltar det främmande, samspelet mellan mörker och ljus, och hur det skapar förutsättningar för utveckling. Analysen går även i dialog med tidigare forskning av Boel Westin och Janina Orlov, samt diskuterar barnlitteraturens komplexitet.

Adaptations cinématographiques d’Alice au pays des merveilles et De l’autre côté du miroir de Lewis Carroll: Analyse des transécritures de Walt Disney, Jan Švankmajer et Tim Burton observe comment trois versions cinématographiques différentes, provenant d’un même texte source, peuvent être singulières les unes par rapport aux autres. Le but de ce mémoire est d’analyser les transécritures de Walt Disney (1951), de Jan Švankmajer (1989) et de Tim Burton (2010) autant dans les changements narratifs que dans les ajouts faits par les réalisateurs qui personnalisent l’adaptation. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuierons sur la notion d’idée de Deleuze. Chacune des analyses est divisée selon: les idées de roman et de cinéma qui se « rencontrent », les ajouts et modifications des idées de roman, ainsi que les idées ayant été rejetés par l’adaptateur-cinéaste. / Adaptations cinématographiques d’Alice au pays des merveilles et De l’autre côté du miroir de Lewis Carroll: Analyse des transécritures de Walt Disney, Jan Švankmajer et Tim Burton observes how three different cinematographical versions, of the same source text, are singular from one another. The goal of this essay is to analyze the adaptations of Walt Disney (1951), Jan Švankmajer (1989) and Tim Burton (2010) from the narrative choices to what directors added in order to personalize the adaptation. To do so, we rely on Deleuze’s notion of ideas. Every analyze is being divided by: the meeting of the novel’s ideas and the film’s ideas, by ideas that have been added or modified, and by ideas that were eliminated by the adaptor-filmmaker.

La haute densité d’énergie atteinte au Large Hadron Collider (LHC) au CERN permet une production abondante de sondes dures, telles que quarkonia, jets à haute impulsion transverse (p_T) et bosons vecteurs (W, Z), qui sont produits lors de la collision partonique initiale. Les bosons vecteur se désintègrent avant la formation du Plasma de Quark et de Gluons (PQG), une phase déconfinée de la matière, qui peut être produite lors de collisions d’ions lourds ultra-relativistes. Les leptons issus de la désintégration des bosons électrofaibles ne sont pas sensibles à l’interaction forte avec le PQG. Pour ces raisons les bosons électrofaibles fournissent une référence pour l’étude des modifications induites par le milieu sur les sondes colorées.La production de bosons W en collisions pp à √s=8 TeV et en collisions p-Pb à √s_NN=5.02 TeV est mesurée dans le canal de désintégration muonique au LHC avec le détecteur ALICE. En collision pp, la gamme de rapidité couverte par la mesure est -4<y_cms<-2.5. En collision p-Pb, la différence d’énergie entre le proton et l’ ion plomb donne lieu à un décalage en rapidité. En inversant la direction des faisceaux, il est possible de couvrir les régions de rapidité -4.46<y_cms<-2.96 et 2.03<y_cms<3.53. Les résultats présentés dans cette thèse consistent dans la mesure de la section efficace de la production de muons avec pT>10GeV/c issus de la désintégration des bosons W+ et W-. La mesure de l’asymétrie de charge, définie comme la différence des taux de production des muons positifs et négatifs divisée par leur somme, est également effectuée. Les résultats sont comparés avec des calculs théoriques obtenus avec ou sans tenir compte des modifications des fonctions de distribution partonique dans les noyaux. La production du boson W est aussi étudiée en fonction de la centralité des collisions : nous observons que, dans les erreurs expérimentales, la section efficace des muons issus de la désintégration du boson W est proportionnelle aux nombre de collisions binaires entre les nucléons. / The high collision energies available at the LHC allow for an abundant production of hard probes, such as quarkonia, high-p_T jets and vector bosons (W, Z), which are produced in initial hard parton scattering processes. The latter decay before the formation of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), which is a deconfined phase of QCD matter produced in high-energy heavy-ion collisions. Their leptonic decay products do not interact strongly with the QGP. Thus electroweak bosons introduce a way for benchmarking in-medium modifications to coloured probes. The production of W-boson in pp collisions at √s=8 TeV and p-Pb collisions at √s_NN=5.02 TeV are measured via the muonic decay channel at the LHC with the ALICE detector. In pp collisions the rapidity covered by the measurement is -4<y_cms<-2.5. In p-Pb collisions, on the other hand, the different energies of the proton and lead ion give rise to a rapidity shift. By exchanging the direction of the beams, it is possible to cover the rapidity ranges -4.46<y_cms<-2.96 and 2.03<y_cms<3.53. The production cross section and charge asymmetry of muons from W-boson decays with p^μT>10 GeV/c are determined. The results are compared to theoretical calculations both with and without including the nPDFs. The W-boson production is also studied as a function of the collision centrality: the cross section of muons from W-boson decays is found to scale with the average number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions with uncertainties.

This thesis investigates the trajectory traced from Sarah Baartman, a Khoisan woman exploited in Europe during the nineteenth century, to a contemporary writing workshop with circumcised, immigrant West African women in Harlem New York by way of a selection of African women's memoirs. The selected African women's texts used in this work create a new testimony of speech, fragmenting a historically dominant Euro-American gaze on African women's bodies. The excerpts form a discursive space for reclaiming self and as well as a defiant challenge to Western porno-erotic voyeurism. The central premise of this thesis is that while investigating Eurocentric (a)historical narratives of Baartman, one finds an implicitly racist and sexist development of European language employed not solely with Baartman, but contemporaneously upon the bodies of Black women of Africa and its Diaspora, focusing predominantly on the "anomaly of their hypersexual" genitals. This particular language applied to the bodies of Black women extends into the discourse of Western feminist movements against African female circumcision in the 21st century. Nawal el Saadawi, Egyptian writer and activist and Aman, a Somali exile, write autobiographical texts which implode a western "silent/uninformed circumcised African woman" stereotype. It is through their documented life stories that these African women claim their bodies and articulate nationalist and cultural solidarity. This work shows that Western perceptions of Female Circumcision and African women will be juxtaposed with African women's perceptions of themselves. Ultimately, with the Nitiandika Writers Workshop in Harlem New York, the politicized outcome of the women who not only write their memoirs but claim a vibrant sexual (not mutilated or deficient) identity in partnership with their husbands, ask why Westerners are more interested in their genitals than how they are able to provide food, shelter and education for the their families, as immigrants to New York. The works of Saadawi, Aman and the Nitandika writers disrupt and ultimately destroy this trajectory of dehumanization through a direct movement from an assumed silence (about their bodies, their circumcisions and their status as women in Africa) to a directed, historically and culturally grounded "alter" speech of celebration and liberation. / English Studies / D.

In this sense, The female voice in literature of African ascendency: hybridism of myths and rites in the novels Niketche of Paulina Chiziane and The Color Purple of Alice Walker is a study that suggest literary-cultural reflections on the constructions of identities in these works. The research focuses on the construction of the subject through his speech and establishing the relationship with remarkable images in search of otherness namely, the mirror, unfolded in the letter, and the bed in addition to pointing out the problem of myths and rites as matrices to a new voice defined by cultural hybridism and fixed in orality. Finally, this research tries to describe the similarities and differences with respect to oppression and exclusion of marginal voices in case of the female voice of African ascendency examining them in what they have of challenging and transgressive in front of eurocentrical, patriarchal and theological assumptions, as they are presented in these works / A presente dissertação associa os Estudos Literários aos Estudos Culturais com o objetivo de aproximar literaturas que apresentam sujeitos historicamente constituídos. Sendo assim, A voz feminina na literatura de ascendência africana: Hibridismo de mitos e ritos nos romances Niketche de Paulina Chiziane e A cor púrpura de Alice Walker é um estudo que aponta reflexões literário-culturais a respeito da construção das identidades presentes nestas obras. A pesquisa centra-se na construção do sujeito por meio do seu discurso e na relação que estabelecem com imagens marcantes na busca da alteridade a saber o espelho, desdobrado na carta, e a cama além de apontar a problemática dos mitos e ritos como matrizes para uma nova voz marcada pelo hibridismo cultural e alicerçada na oralidade. Enfim, a pesquisa ambiciona esboçar as semelhanças e diferenças no que tange a opressão e exclusão de vozes marginais no caso a voz feminina e de ascendência africana analisando-as naquilo em que elas têm de desafiador e transgressor perante os pressupostos eurocêntricos, patriarcais e teológicos, apresentados nestas obras

Questa ricerca si propone di contribuire ad una prima analisi storiografica del ciclo di protesta esploso in Italia nel 1977. A nove anni dal ’68, la contestazione tornò ad agitare le università e le piazze, lottando sul terreno della creatività e dell’ironia, ma esprimendo contestualmente una forte carica violenta. L’illegalità di massa e la guerriglia diffusa finirono infatti per ingrossare le fila del «partito armato» e del terrorismo. Il ‘movimento’ degli indiani metropolitani e delle P38, proprio in ragione di questa ambiguità, fatica ancora a trovare una descrizione esaustiva, mentre la sua escalation violenta è ancora in attesa di un’eziologia convincente. Questo studio tenta quindi, in primo luogo, di ricostruire un’immagine unitaria e realistica di quel fenomeno socio-politico, a partire dalle fonti del ‘movimento’ e dalle cronache. In secondo luogo, integra la variabile istituzionale nello studio della protesta, al fine di verificare quale grado di influenza ebbe lo Stato sui processi di riattivazione della mobilitazione e, soprattutto, sulla radicalizzazione dello scontro. Il focus dell’analisi è rappresentato dall’azione assai controversa del ministero dell’Interno, allora guidato da Francesco Cossiga, che viene qui ricostruita sulla base di documenti provenienti dagli archivi di Stato. Il policing of protest è infine messo a confronto con quello della Francia dei primi anni dopo il maggio ’68, quando l’estrema sinistra minacciò una deriva violenta ma si arrestò prima di passare all’atto. / his research aims to contribute to a first preliminary historiographical analysis of the cycle of protest which spread out in Italy in 1977. Nine years after 1968, revolts started again on in the streets and inside universities. This new wave of protest was characterized by the use of creativity and humour but also by the acceptance of the violence: illegal action and urban guerrilla warfare became quite common and contributed to the expansion of the red terrorism. As a matter of fact, this ‘movement’ shows an inherent ambiguity: it put together political emulators of Dadaism with old-styled armed revolutionaries. Therefore, it is still hard and an open challenge to find an inclusive description of it and the escalation of political violence is still waiting for a convincing aetiology. The objective of this is research is twofold. On the one hand, it tries to rebuild a coherent and realistic picture of this phenomenon under analysis, adopting insider sources of the ‘movement’ and chronicles. On the other hand, it aims at integrating the institutional variable in the study of the protest, in order to verify to which extent the State was can be held responsible for the mobilization processes and, especially, for the radicalization of the social conflict. The analysis is centred on the action of the ministry of Interior and based on records from State archives. The Italian policing of protest is finally compared with to the case study of France during the first years after May 68. At that time, extreme-left activists threatened a similar escalation of violence, but they came to a halt before shooting.

Les calculs de chromodynamique quantique sur réseau prévoient, que pour un potentiel baryonique nul et une température de T ∼ 173 MeV , il devrait être possible d'observer une transition de la phase de la matière hadronique vers un plasma de quarks et de gluons. Les collisions d'ions lourds ultra-relativistes devraient permettre de mettre en évidence ce changement de phase. Les saveurs lourdes peuvent être utilisées pour sonder les premiers instants des collisions pendant lesquels la température est la plus élevée. Le LHC va permettre d'étudier les collisions entre noyaux de plomb et les collisions entre protons à une énergie jamais égalée : √s = 5.5 TeV (√sNN = 14 TeV ) pour le plomb (les protons). Le détecteur ALICE est dédié à l'étude des collisions d'ions lourds mais peut également mesurer les collisions entre protons. Il est équipé d'un spectromètre à muons conçu pour l'étude des saveurs lourdes. Cette thèse présente les performances du spectromètre pour la mesure de la section efficace de production inclusive des hadrons beaux (B) et charmés (D) dans les collisions proton-proton. La première étape de cette mesure consiste à extraire les distributions des muons de décroissance des hadrons B et D. L'étape suivante consiste à extrapoler les distributions aux sections efficaces de production inclusive des hadrons. Cette thèse contient également une étude préliminaire des performances du spectromètre pour la mesure du rapport de modification nucléaire et de l'observable associée nommée RB=D dans les collisions plomb-plomb de centralité0−10%. L'accent est porté sur les incertitudes et l'intervalle en impulsion transverse sur lequel ces observables pourront être mesurées.

Les quarks étranges constituent une sonde importante pour la compréhension de la chromodynamique quantique. Ce travail de thèse s'inscrit dans cette perspective ; il porte sur l'étude des baryons multi-étranges Ξ- (dss) et Ω- (sss) dans les collisions proton-proton (pp) au LHC. Les analyses sont menées auprès de l'expérience ALICE et concernent les rapidités centrales (y ≈ 0) et basses impulsions transverses (pT < 8,5 GeV/c). Les taux de production par événement de ces baryons sont établis à partir de la mesure de spectres différentiels fonction de l'impulsion des hypérons, d²N/dpTdy = f(pT). À √s = 0.9 TeV, la production des (Ξ- + Ξ+) dans les interactions inélastiques pp est extraite à partir d'une faible statistique d'événements. À √s = 7 TeV, la grande statistique de données permet la mesure des taux de production pour chacune des quatre espèces : Ξ-, Ξ+, Ω- et Ω+. Aux deux énergies, les spectres des données réelles sont comparés avec les spectres générés par différents modèles phénoménologiques de référence (PYTHIA et PHOJET). La comparaison montre une sous-estimation univoque des spectres par les générateurs Monte Carlo (jusqu'à un facteur ~4 pour les Ξ, ~15 pour les Ω). Une analyse de corrélations azimutales (Ξ± - h±) est par ailleurs conduite aux pT intermédiaires (2 < pT < 5 GeV/c) dans les données pp à √s = 7 TeV. Ces corrélations montrent que, lorsque l'impulsion des Ξ± augmente, l'émission de ceux-ci se fait préférentiellement en corrélation avec des jets.
