Les problèmes de nature pratique occupant un espace sans cesse grandissant, les disciplines technologiques se trouvent de plus en plus au cœur de notre société. Ces disciplines comportent une structure logique et un mode de raisonnement propres, qui se distinguent de ceux utilisés en science et en éthique. Le présent mémoire cherche à identifier cette structure, à en montrer les présupposés épistémologiques. En prenant pour base les travaux de l’éminent épistémologue Mario Bunge et leur prolongement dans la théorie des plans de Daniel Seni, à savoir le modèle technologique, qui prend essentiellement la forme du plan, est analysé en ses deux principales composantes, à savoir la justification factuelle et la justification normative. Le modèle sera ensuite exemplifié par une application à un cas d’ingénierie sociale, le développement durable.

Text in Afrikaans / Abstracts in Afrikaans, English and seSotho / Die ikoniese konsep van die spelende mens (homo ludens) - soos verwoord deur Johan Huizinga – verkry opnuut trefkrag weens ʼn hedendaagse bekoring met virtuele spel. Nel (2014; 2015a; 2015b), Burger (2013), Viljoen (2011; 2013), Anker (2011) en Barnes (2014) bevind dat die eietydse fassinasie met ludieke spel uitdrukking vind in die narratiewe struktuur van verskeie Afrikaanse literêre tekste. Hierdie navorsingsverslag fokus op drie kritieke ontwikkelingsfases van spel: pre-Huizinga, Huizinga en post-Huizinga. Rigtinggewende antieke Griekse spelkonsepte van Heraklitus en Plato, waarop voortgebou is deur Huizinga (1949; 1951), asook die revisionistiese idees van Caillois (1961) word benut as teoretiese steierwerk vir ʼn lesing van die literêre speldiskoers in Klimtol (Van Heerden 2013); Afstande (Sleigh 2010) en Sirkusboere (Loots 2011). Die beskrywing en interpretasie van spelmerkers lei daartoe dat nie net die narratiewe struktuur ín die romans nie, maar ook die romans sélf, as vorm van kultuurskeppende spel beskou kan word. / Due to contemporary fascination with virtual games, the seminal concept of the playing person (homo ludens) − as articulated by Huizinga – has regained prominence. Nel (2014; 2015a; 2015b), Burger (2013), Viljoen (2011; 2013), Anker (2011) and Barnes (2014) observe a preoccupation with ludics in the narrative structure of various Afrikaans literary texts. This report focuses on three critical developmental stages of play: pre-Huizinga, Huizinga and post-Huizinga. Classic hypotheses by Heraclitus and Plato that manifested in Huizinga's (1949; 1950) notions on the play-element in culture as well as revisionist ideas by Caillois (1961) will be utilised as theoretical framework for an exploration of the ludic discourse in Klimtol (Van Heerden 2013), Afstande (Sleigh 2010) and Sirkusboere (Loots 2011). The description and interpretation of various play markers signify that not only the narrative structure of the novels, but the novels themselves, might be regarded as ludic play that shapes culture. / Ka ntlha ya kgatlhego ya ga jaana ya metshamekopono, mogopolo wa boitshimololedi wa motho yo o tshamekang (homo ludens) - jaaka o tlhalositswe ke Huizinga – o boetse o botlhokwa.

This thesis deals with gay identity politics and its relation to the Zionist ethos as it is portrayed in several Israeli films. It primarily analyzes two different points of view of two film directors whose homosexuality plays a central role in their cinematic work – Amos Gutman and Eytan Fox – and examines the way they perceive their gay lived experience. Analyzing Gutman’s Drifting (1983), Bar 51 (1985), and Himmo, King of Jerusalem (1987), I show how he encloses himself in his own queer universe and demands to be acknowledged as such, practicing his authenticity separately from the hegemonic discourse. On the other hand, the sexual politics in Fox’s Yossi & Jagger (2002) and Yossi (2012), suggests that homosexual men should join the national hegemonic space while ignoring their otherness. Since the films in question use the Zionist narrative and the national identity of their protagonists as points of reference, these two approaches are discussed in relation to the Zionist ethos. Several other films with similar points of reference are analyzed as well, including Fox’s Time Off (1990), Walk on Water (2004) and The Bubble (2006), Dan Wolman’s Hide & Seek (1979), Ayelet Menachemi’s Crows (1987), Nadav Gal’s A Different War (2003), Yair Hochner’s Good Boys (2005), and Mysh Rozanov’s Watch over Me (2010). Discussing the Zionist ethos, I emphasize Daniel Boyarin’s concept of the parallel between Jewishness, queerness, and abnormality. I show how the Zionist yearning for normalcy (the wish ‘to be like all nations’) and the identification of the homosexual as abnormal are embodied in the cinematic representations. The analysis in this thesis is mainly based on queer theory, as it strives to deconstruct and destabilize the traditional binaries of heterosexuality and show how the hegemonic discourse is based on those limited binaries. It challenges any political discourse that by naturalizing heterosexuality enforces heteronormative practices. By highlighting queer marginality in the cinematic text and linking it with elements of post-colonial theory and its analysis of the other, I show how gay identity politics discourse subverts or yields to the Zionist ethos. / text

[pt] O objetivo geral do presente estudo é sustentar que a consideração da literatura existente sobre julgamento e tomada de decisão (JTD), oriunda da psicologia e das ciências cognitivas, (i) não apenas confirma a direção acertada de nosso modelo constitucional de processo democrático pautado em um contraditório substancial, como também (ii) demonstra-se imprescindível ao seu aprimoramento. De início, apresentam-se os contornos teóricos daquilo que se entende por processo judicial democrático, focando-se no desenvolvimento dos principais (e novos) aspectos relacionados ao princípio do contraditório - garantidor do fluxo discursivo que permite a construção conjunta (comparticipada e policêntrica) da decisão. Passado o referido ponto, o estudo converge para o terreno da psicologia e das ciências cognitivas. Parte-se das mais conhecidas pesquisas sobre as limitações do raciocínio humano. Posteriormente, introduz-se a provocativa (e recente) teoria sobre o entendimento humano, formulada por Dan Sperber e Hugo Mercier (teoria interacionista do raciocínio). Ao final, concluise que tais estudos e experimentos - intimamente ligados à cognição individual e aos aspectos da deliberação coletiva – nos permitem lançar um novo olhar sobre diversas questões atinentes à (efetiva) adoção de um modelo de processual democrático. / [en] The general purpose of this study is to sustein that the consideration of the existing literature on judgment and decision making, from psychology and cognitive sciences, (i) not only endorses our constitutional model of democratic process, based on a substantial adversarial mechanism, while also (ii) proves to be essential to its improvement. At first, the theoretical contours of what should be understood by a democratic judicial process are presented, focusing on the development of the main (and new) aspects related to the adversarial principle - guarantor of the discursive flow that allows the joint construction (co-participated and polycentric) of the decision. Thereafter, the study steps into psychology and cognitive sciences domain. It is starts with the most acknowledged researches in about the limitations of the human reasoning. Later on, Dan Sperber and Hugo Mercier s recent provocative theory of human understanding is introduced (the interactionist theory of reasoning). Finally, it is concluded that such studies and experiments - intimately connected to individual cognition and the aspects of collective deliberation - allow us to acquire a new perspective over several of pertaining topics related to the (effective) adoption of a democratic procedural model.

This dissertation concurs with the Jungian postulation that certain psychological archetypes are inclined to be reproduced by the collective unconscious. In turn, these psychological archetypes are revealed to emerge in literature as literary archetypes. It is consequently argued that science fiction has come to form a new mythology because the archetypal images are displaced in a modern, scientific guise. This signifies a shift in the collective world view of humanity, or a shift in its collective consciousness. It is consequently argued that humanity’s collective consciousness has evolved from mythic thought to scientific thought, courtesy of the numerous groundbreaking scientific discoveries of the past few centuries. This dissertation posits as a premise that Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s supposition of humanity’s collective consciousness evolving towards what he calls the Omega Point to hold true. The scientific displacement of the literary archetypes reveals humankind’s evolution towards the Omega Point and a cosmic consciousness. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

It was a qualitative study based on exploratory analysis and phenomenological background. The guiding theoretical reference undertaken in this study was the Humanistic Psychology, specifically the Client-Centered Approach, developed by Carl Rogers. This study was conducted on a public school environment employing street dance classes offered to teenagers as an extra curricular project. The researcher attended weekly the dancing classes during six months. Afterwards it was performed private interviews with adolescents. Seven narratives were developed according to the intersubjective relationship developed among the researcher and the students, focusing on personal experience by the adolescents. It was concluded that teenagers experience by taking street dance classes led to a significant learning, as developed by Rogers, since it becomes more spontaneous, self-guided, and toward selffulfilling. The experience offered to the street dancer group provided the students in their growing process with typical elements as follows: spontaneous interest in participate on personal activities which contribute to the physical and psychological growth; physical and emotional experience on their growing body, their losses and potential creativity; complete involvement of affection and intellect, throughout the learning processes; self-recognition assisted by a positive and varied acceptance weaning from parentship; distinction between their parents and themselves; the experience of being part of a group and have their own particularities at the same time; development of personal power and self-reliance as derived from the dancing process; the enthusiasm to the world desiring to change it, rethinking themselves in this process and enduring a smoother balance for integration extending this experience toward adulthood. This study suggests that the school context represents a potential to develop significant interpersonal relationship easing a psychological development. / Esta pesquisa prop?s-se a compreender os sentidos atribu?dos ? experi?ncia de dan?ar por adolescentes praticantes da dan?a de rua em um contexto escolar. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo de car?ter explorat?rio e de inspira??o fenomenol?gica. O referencial te?rico norteador do estudo foi a psicologia de orienta??o humanista, especificamente a Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa (ACP), desenvolvida por Carl Rogers. Realizou-se no contexto de um grupo de dan?a de rua, oferecido a alunos adolescentes em uma escola p?blica da cidade de Campinas, sob a forma de um projeto extracurricular. A pesquisadora acompanhou, semanalmente, durante seis meses as aulas de dan?a e, posteriormente, realizou entrevistas individuais com os alunos que se interessaram em participar da pesquisa. Objetivando focar a experi?ncia vivida pelos participantes da pesquisa sob o prisma da rela??o intersubjetiva estabelecida entre a pesquisadora e os alunos, foram constru?das sete narrativas. Concluiu-se que a experi?ncia dos adolescentes com a dan?a de rua no contexto da escola aproxima-se da proposta de aprendizagem significativa, desenvolvida por Rogers, ao constituir-se em uma aprendizagem auto-iniciada, auto-dirigida e dotada de significa??o pessoal. A experi?ncia vivida no grupo de dan?a de rua proporcionou aos alunos a emerg?ncia de elementos t?picos da experi?ncia de adolescer, como o interesse espont?neo em participar de atividades dotadas de significa??o pessoal e que contribuam para o crescimento; viv?ncia f?sica e subjetiva do corpo em crescimento, suas perdas e potencial criativo; envolvimento integral com a experi?ncia de aprendizagem, envolvendo sentimentos e intelecto; busca por si mesmo facilitada pela aceita??o positiva de outros significativos; diferencia??o em rela??o aos pais; viv?ncia de pertencimento a um grupo que compartilha significados, ao mesmo tempo em que se diferencia da maioria; sentimentos de auto-confian?a e poder pessoal ao dan?ar; abertura para o mundo e interesse em modific?-lo, refazendo-se a si mesmo neste processo; desejo de levar da adolesc?ncia o dan?ar como um brincar e um modo de cuidar de si. Este estudo evidenciou tamb?m que o contexto da escola representa um espa?o potencial para o desenvolvimento de rela??es interpessoais significativas e facilitadoras para o desenvolvimento psicol?gico.

L’accès par voie chimique à des oligosaccharides nécessite souvent le recours à de nombreuses étapes de protection-déprotection. Au cours de ce projet de thèse, une méthodologie pour la protection régiosélective et orthogonale des fonctions alcool de disaccharides dérivant de la biomasse a tout d’abord été développée. Les glycopyranosides protégés ont été préparés par catalyse tandem au FeCl3∙6H2O en réalisant dans le même pot des réactions d’acétalation, d’éthérification réductrice, d’acétylation et/ou d’ouverture réductrice régiosélective d’acétals. Dans un second temps, une stratégie de synthèse flexible, rapide et performante pour accéder à des sulfoglycolipides diacylés et tétraacylés comportant un cœur tréhalose a été mise au point. Ces molécules sont produites par Mycobacterium tuberculosis, l’agent pathogène responsable de la tuberculose, et les sulfoglycolipides diacylés pourraient permettre l’élaboration d’un nouveau vaccin contre cette maladie. Des sulfoglycolipides diacylés et tétraacylés comportant des chaînes monométhylées chirales ont été obtenus. Les précurseurs des acides gras chiraux utilisés au cours de la synthèse ont été analysés par spectroscopie RMN du deutérium en abondance naturelle dans des cristaux liquides chiraux. / The synthesis of oligosaccharides often requires long sequences of protection-deprotection steps. For a rapid access to suitably protected glycopyranosides, we have developed a one-pot regioselective protection strategy based on FeCl3∙6H2O-tandem catalyzed reactions (acetalation, acetylation, reductive etherification, regioselective ring opening of acetal). This procedure was applied to persilylated disaccharides derived from biomass. This methodology allowed the development of a fast, efficient and flexible access to diacylated and tetraacylated sulfoglycolipids based on a trehalose core. These molecules are found in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the diacylated sulfoglycolipids appear to be promising candidates for the development of a new tuberculosis vaccine. Synthetics diacylated and tetraacylated sulfoglycolipids bearing chiral monomethylated fatty chains were produced. The chiral fatty-acid precursors, used in the procedure, were synthetized and analyzed by NMR spectroscopy of natural abundance deuterium in chiral liquid crystals.

以整個明代來看，國祚近三百年，但初期在改朝換代的適應與摸索下，使 得原本已由元雜劇所掀起的戲曲熱潮，沉寂了大半個明代，直到嘉靖年間 才逐漸恢復生機。這股生機一觸即發，短短數十年便再度席捲文壇，吸引 了許多文人學士投入戲曲的創作和討論，諸如徐渭、李贄、湯顯祖、沈璟 、王驥德等人將萬曆劇壇妝點得多采多姿，並將戲曲理論推展至前所未有 的高峰。但戲曲理論的發展經驗仍淺，其內涵也不夠成熟，此時雖眾星雲 集、新銳並出，靠得是一股衝勁與爆發力，但待勢頭一過，冷靜的沉思與 深度的思考才是長久的紮根之計。而「晚明」正是擔任著這樣的工作--將 前人的意見總結、再思考，濃縮、再提煉。另一方面，由於理論需有作品 作基礎，劇論家常藉著品評以往當代作家的作品來建立自己的理論。其中 當代作品最能反映當時的創作現況，對其下針砭也最能發揮理論的功效， 但明代前中期的劇作不多，也缺乏探討的價值，因此只要有具代表性的典 型劇作出現，馬上就會吸引劇壇的注目，而《牡丹亭》就是這樣一部劇著 。雖然《牡丹亭》的出現夾著褒貶不一的評價，但不論是正面或反面，它 都有著引人深入探討、發掘的豐富性。當時幾乎所有的劇論家都曾對其發 表過意見，而這些意見匯整起來，則儼然是晚明戲曲理論的精華展現。我 們可以說，晚明劇論家對《牡丹亭》的流傳與討論深化了此劇的創作內涵 ，而《牡丹亭》的出現則刺激了晚明戲曲理論的開展，此兩者互為因果的 血脈關系，是值得我們重視的。綜上所述，本文遂欲以晚明時期對《牡丹 亭》的流傳討論為探討線索，以突顯當時戲曲理論承先啟後的重要性及時 代意義。在這□，「晚明」指得是萬曆中後期到崇禎末這段期間，更明確 的說，由於《牡丹亭》約完成於萬曆二十六年(1598)，明亡於崇禎十七 年(1644年)，晚明即代表1598到1644這四十六年的時段。本文即以此時段 中與《牡丹亭》有關的專文、序跋、評點、眉批、改編，乃至曲譜制定、 演出情形等，作一釐清、探討。再與萬曆之前及清代初、中期的理論特色 稍作比較，以突顯其過渡特色。本論文之研究主要採三個步驟進行：首先 是「外緣探討」，於第二章就晚明劇論的依存背景，作多方面的釐清，即 文學、思想背景，戲曲理論的發展概況及當時對戲曲的審美需求。其次是 「內緣研究」，於第三、四、五章分別就晚明時期對《牡丹亭》的批評風 氣、批評方式、批評內涵等作條理的分析。最後為「價值定位」，於第六 章總結晚明戲曲理論的時代意義，以明其對前代有所承繼、有所創新，對 後世又有所啟發、開展的樞紐地位。

自十九世紀末霍華德提倡「田園市」以解決倫敦市日益問題惡化的都市問題以來，新市鎮發展至今已有九十幾年的歷史。回顧各國開發新市鎮的經驗，多數新市鎮開發的結果被認為是失敗的。臺灣自中興新村開始，一連串新市鎮開發的成效都未盡理想，而日前為廣增國宅、打壓房價、並引導臺北都會區向北發展，淡海新市鎮被列為六年國建項目之一，積極開發。本論文擬以淡海新市鎮之開發目標與主要計畫內容為主，並對各國開發新市鎮的經驗加以檢討，期能找出新市鎮發展的趨勢，並對淡海新市鎮的開發目標與計畫內容有所建議。 　　本論文藉由各國開發新市鎮之經驗的文獻與臺灣地區開發新市鎮之成效的評估、次級資料的蒐集，對新市鎮的發展做一回顧，並歸納出新市鎮未來的發展趨勢，作為淡海新市鎮發展的指標；同時，藉由次級資料的蒐集與檢討，找出淡海新市鎮主要計畫的缺失與不足。 　　由本論文之研究結果顯示，新市鎮未來發展的趨勢應朝向大都會區的一環，成為都會區的一個據點，並與中心都市的機能互補，以提高新市鎮開發成功之機率。而淡海新市鎮之開發目標應朝向多機能的新市鎮發展，而非以單一的住宅機能為主；同時，淡海新市鎮在主要計畫中如土地分配不均、公共設施不足、交通設備缺乏等問題亟需改進，以提高該新市鎮開發之成效。 / Since Howard advocated the concept of "Garden City" for solving the deteriorating urban problem of Landon in the end of 19th century, it has been ninety uears in the history of new town development. The experience of new town development in most countries are, however, considered as failures. Starting from Chung Using New Village, a series of new towns have been developed in Taiwan, but wirthout many successes. In order to expand the housing construction to decrease price and guide the development of Taipei metropolitan area northbound, Dan Hai new town has recently been listed as one of the items of the Six-years National Investment Plan in Taiwan. The purposes of the research are to evaluate the experiences of new town development in various countries, to seek the trends of the devdiopment bassed on this evaluation ; and to make suggstions for the devedlopment goals and contents of the plan for Dan Hai new town. 　　In the research, we reviewed, through the literature survey of the experiences in various countries and the evaluation of effectiveness of new town development in Taiwan, the development of new towns in general. We then deduced, of the new town development in Dan Hai. In the mean time, bassed on the collection and evaluation of secondary data, we pointed out the flaws and insufficiency in the master plan of Dan Hai mew town. 　　The results indicated ehae new town development should be part of the metropolitan area, serving as a base conplementary of the function of the central city to increase the probability of success of the development. The development goals of Dan Hai new town should, on the other hand, be aimed at multifunctional new town development, not single, residential one. In the mean time, the problems in the master plan of Dan Hai new town, such as inequality in land distribution and insufficiency of public and transportation facilities, must be solved in order to increase the effectiveness of the development.
