À travers l’analyse des dispositifs d’adaptation de l’offre de formation que mettent en œuvre des proviseurs des académies de Bordeaux et de Toulouse, cette thèse répond à la question de savoir dans quelle mesure les évolutions contemporaines des modalités étatiques d’intervention participent d’une stratégie globale résultant d’une nouvelle forme de gouvernementalité.Au terme d’une approche critique, cette thèse montre que les années 1980 sont effectivement une période charnière où, sous l’effet du processus de civilisation, l’appareil de gouvernement devient incapable d’assurer efficacement la médiation du rapport de gouvernement entre l’État central et la population. Inéluctable, l’ajustement prend alors la forme d’une mutation de la structure et de la dynamique de la chaîne de gouvernement, mais il emprunte également la voie d’une mutation des techniques et des logiques de gouvernement.La fin du XXe siècle marque ainsi le passage entre un État « intégratif » et un État « distributif », dont la spécificité réside dans sa capacité à gouverner à distance et de façon invisible ; principalement en contrôlant la capacité des dirigeants de proximité à rendre l’action publique possible tout en instaurant un ordonnancement d’ensemble qui empêche les acteurs non étatiques de gouverner localement. / By the analysis of the systems of adjustment to training offers implemented by headteachers in the Bordeaux and Toulouse education authority areas, this thesis answers the query concerning in what way contemporary evolution of state intervention changes contribute to a global strategy which results in a new form of governing. Pursuant to a critical approach, this thesis shows that the Eighties are indeed a pivotal period when, under the influence of the civilisation process, the government machine becomes unable to effectively ensure the mediation of the relation of government between the central State and the population. The adjustment inevitably takes the form of a structural transformation of the process of the chain of government, but it also results in a transformation of government techniques and logic. The end of the twentieth century thus marks the passage between an “integrative” State and a 'distributive” one whose uniqueness rests in its ability to govern from afar invisibly, mainly by controlling the ability of local leaders to make public policy possible while establishing overall task scheduling which prevents non-state actors from governing locally.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / “Gendered and Racialized Experiences at Central State Hospital, Indianapolis, 1877 – 1910” analyzes the treatment of African American patients at the now-defunct Central State Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, throughout the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, from the late 1870s through the 1900s. This thesis examines the impact of scientific racism and institutionalized sexism on female African American patients’ diagnoses, medical treatment, and the outcome of institutionalization through a close reading of hospital publications and a series of statistical studies of patient data. This thesis also analyzes the intersection of race and gender through the case study of one African American woman, Elizabeth Williams Furniss, who was institutionalized during the 1890s until her death in 1909. I argue that scientific racism and a deeply entrenched sexism significantly shaped the treatment of African American patients and women of all races throughout the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. Preconceived notions of race, gender, and class determined diagnoses, treatments, and treatments outcomes, without regard to individual patients’ needs. I also suggest ways for historians to identify and measure the impact of scientific racism and institutionalized sexism on African American patients in northern psychiatric institutions through statistical studies of patient data.

In 1869 the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Virginia passed legislation that established the first asylum in the United States to care exclusively for African-American patients. Then known as Central Lunatic Asylum for the Colored Insane and located in Richmond, Virginia, the asylum began to admit patients in 1870. This thesis explores three aspects of Central State Hospital's history during the nineteenth century: attitudes physicians held toward their patients, the involuntary commitment of patients, and life inside the asylum. Chapter One explores the nineteenth-century belief held by southern white physicians, including those at Central State Hospital, that freed people were mentally, emotionally, and physically unfit for freedom. Chapter Two explains the involuntary commitment of African Americans to Central State Hospital in 1874. Chapter Three considers patient life at the asylum by contrasting the expectation of “Moral Management” care with the reality of daily life and treatment.

- Remonstrance Proceedings The thesis is focused on the remonstrance and the following special administrative proceedings. The remosntrance represents an ordinary appeal, which can be used to challenge the first instance decision that has not already become enforceable and has been issued by the central administrative office, by the minister or by the director of other central administrative office eventually by the state secretary. Whereas there is no existence of the superior administrative authoritites in the organizational structure of the state administration, the same body that issued challenged decision decides on it. It is obvious, that appeal procedure contains a lot of variances and peculiarities, which the thesis points out, compared to the appeal procedure. The remostrance is limited to one paragraph and its five sections by the valid and effective legislation of the Administrative Code. The more this relatively brief provision often remains unkonwn to the general public, the more attention it attracts among the experts. The thesis aims to give a comprehensive explanation of the remonstrance and its proceedings and subsequent evaluation of the effectiveness of the applicable legislation and to suggest own creative solution of the examined subject. Further, this thesis aims to answer the...

This thesis deals with the translation process in Czech central state administration bodies - more precisely in the ministries. The theoretical part of the thesis presents a definition of the terms institution and institutional translation and specifies the activities and functions of individual ministries. Ministries can be divided into two groups based on the presence of a translation department in their organizational structure: ministries with a translation department and ministries without a translation department. After that, selected publications on institutional translation in national institutions and in the institutions of the European Union are summarized and a model of translation process in institutions is created based on these publications and adjusted to every ministry individually. The empirical part focuses on the results of the survey and structured interviews conducted in the ministries. The conclusions are presented for every ministry individually and then for the whole group. The models of translation process are compared and commented on. Key words: International institution, institutional translation, Czech central state administration bodies, ministry, translation process, model of translation process, translation department Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
