Este estudo buscou analisar uma parte da obra da artista contemporânea francesa Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, pondo em foco especialmente sua relação com a arquitetura moderna e com o Brasil. Nessa direção, interessava também compreender de que maneira a artista opera as dimensões do tempo e do espaço em suas obras. Para isso, fez-se necessário um estudo prévio sobre o rompimento das barreiras artísticas com a arquitetura e outros campos de conhecimento, um aprofundamento sobre a síntese e autonomia no campo artístico, assim como uma investigação acerca de algumas teorias para a arte contemporânea e os grupos de artistas que se conformaram ao redor de um conceito de Estética Relacional. A pesquisa se deteve sobre o período que compreende os anos finais da década de 1980 até 2014 e estudou obras realizadas no Brasil e no estrangeiro. O início do trabalho abrange as obras entre as décadas de 1990 até os anos 2000 que partem de uma proposta de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster de produzir ambientes domésticos no âmbito institucional: são as obras da série Chambres. Essas obras suscitam questões como a tecnologia, a imaterialidade, os vazios potenciais e a criação de novas narrativas pelos expectadores/visitantes ativos. A seguir, estudamos o modo como a artista evoca e migra para os espaços exteriores produzindo obras institucionais que tenham uma relação com cidades, ou ainda propostas para parques e jardins que são pensados como a primeira exterioridade ainda vinculada de algum modo à esfera doméstica de suas obras iniciais. São abordados nesse ponto do estudo os conceitos de deslocamento, da constituição fragmentada do indivíduo contemporâneo, além do papel das viagens em sua obra. Ainda nesse ponto, estudamos o conceito de jogo presente na obra de Dominique e em diálogo com a produção de Helio Oiticica. Finalmente, a última etapa desse estudo tratou da relação da obra de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster com a arquitetura moderna, as influências da cidade de Grenoble, sua arquitetura, urbanismo e comunidade artística; e a arquitetura moderna brasileira, em obras entre os anos 1999 e 2014. Para essa parte do estudo fez-se necessário contextualizar a migração do projeto de modernidade para áreas periféricas, que produziriam modernidades alternativas e, segundo Gonzalez-Foerster, imbuídas de potencialidades. Estudamos também a perda de utopia da modernidade e de que maneira a artista trabalharia isso em suas obras. A partir do conceito de tropicalização, segundo um ponto de vista específico desse termo definido por Gonzalez-Foerster, são exploradas três mostras que operam com esse conceito e que em diversos momentos dialogam com o restante da produção da artista. Por fim, percorremos outras quatro obras e exposições individuais e coletivas das quais a artista participou no Brasil entre os anos de 2010 à 2014 com a intenção de fazer um pequeno panorama da produção da artista no país, somando um total de 25 obras analisadas. / This study has the intention to analyze the body of Dominique Gonzalez- Foerster\'s work, specially its relations with modern architecture and Brazil. Therefore, this research is also interested to understand the way the artist deals with time and space along her work. That being so, it was necessary to proceed a previous studies about the limits suppression of art and architecture and other fields of knowledge; an investigation about the synthesis and autonomy in the artistic field; and also about contemporary art theories and its artist\'s conformation around the concept of Relational Aesthetics. This research covers the period of time from 1980 to 2014 and studied works produced in Brazil and abroad. The works from 1990 to 2000 in the beginning of this study are one part of Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster\'s proposal of producing domestic environments inside the art institutions: the Chambres series. These pieces of art reflect about issues such as technology, immateriality, potential emptiness and the possibility of new narrative creation by the active viewers/visitants. The next step was to study how the artist recalls and also migrates to exterior spaces producing institutional works which are in relation to the cities, or else, projects for parks and gardens thought as the first possible exteriority still connected somehow to the domestic feel of her first works. At this point, we had to look into the concepts of displacement, of the fragmented constitution of the contemporary beings, and the role of the travels in her work. Still, the concept of playing, present in Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster\'s work, and its relation to Helio Oiticica\'s proposals were also examined. Finally, the last part of this study regards and analyzes the relation of her work with modern architecture, the influences of Grenoble, its architecture, urban planning and artistic community; and the modern Brazilian architecture, in her works between 1999 and 2014. For this part of the study it was essential to briefly historically contextualize the process of the ideals of modernity migration for peripheral areas, which produce alternative modernities, for Dominique Gonzalez Foerster, filled with potentiality. The loss of modernity utopia and the way the artist comprises it in her works were also a relevant subject of this dissertation. Considering the concept of tropicalization, developed in a specific way by Gonzalez-Foerster, three exhibitions were studied, especially in their way to dialogue with the rest of the artist\'s work. At last, other four individual exhibitions in Brazil between 2010 and 2014 were analyzed with the intention to produce a panorama of the artist\'s work in the country, and to sum them to all of the 25 works in this research.

The capability of radar measured rainfall to enhance the simulation of storm hydrographs was assessed. Six rainfall events which occurred in 1986 and 1987 over an 8.13 km$ sp2$ agricultural watershed in south-western Quebec were used in model simulations. Radar measured rainfall rates were calibrated using measurements from a single tipping-bucket raingauge located at the study site. / A deterministic, event-based model, HYMO, was used to simulate streamflow using radar and gauge measured rainfall. The model utilized two rainfall abstraction techniques, i.e. the SCS Curve Number method and the Green-Ampt infiltration equation. Simulated streamflow hydrographs were compared with observed storm flows. / For short duration, high intensity, simple rainfall events, there were minor improvements in hydrograph simulations when calibrated radar measured rainfalls were input to the model, compared to tipping-bucket raingauge measurements. Complex, low intensity storms were poorly simulated by the model using either rainfall data source. Neither rainfall abstraction method proved consistently superior.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Dominique Botha‟s False River, published simultaneously with the rewritten Afrikaans text Valsrivier in 2013, is a fictionalised memoir presented as a novel that is written into the tradition of the plaasroman. The text follows the lives of the Bothas of Rietpan in the Free State and spans the years between 1980 and 1997. In this thesis I discuss the novel focussing on questions surrounding narration and its affirmation or negation of agency, embodiment and subjectivity, the narrative construction of the Botha family‟s isolating liberalism in its present post-apartheid context, and the perception of the author and the novel by Afrikaans and English literary communities. I explore the text‟s relationship to genre, drawing on J.M. Coetzee‟s examination of the literary pastoral in White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa. It is through this theoretical lens that I argue that False River depicts a conflicted, inconsistent and perforated view of Afrikaner identity and its relationship to gender, notions of landed belonging, Afrikaans-English linguistic co-habitation, and black subjectivity, in an agrarian landscape that dominates through anthropopsychism and primogeniture. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dominique Botha se False River, tegelykertyd gepubliseer met die herskryfde Afrikaanse teks Valsrivier in 2013, is ʼn geromantiseerde memoir wat as fiksie aangebied word en is binne die tradisie van die plaasroman geskryf. Die teks beskryf die lewens van die Bothas van Rietpan in die Vrystaat vanaf 1980 tot 1997. In my tesis bespreek ek dié roman met die fokus op vraagstukke rondom die vertelling se bekragtiging of ontkenning van bemagtiging, beliggaming en subjektiwiteit; van die verhaalkonstruksie van die Botha-familie se isolerende liberalisme in die huidige postapartheid konteks, asook die persepsie van die outeur en die roman deur Afrikaanse en Engelse literêre gemeenskappe. Ek ondersoek die teks se verhouding tot genre, na aanleiding van J.M. Coetzee se behandeling van die literêre pastoraal in White Writing: On the Culture of Letters in South Africa, om aan te voer dat False River ʼn strydige, inkonsekwente en geperforeerde beskouing van Afrikaner-identiteit toon. Die verhouding van dié identiteit tot geslagtelikheid, grondbesit, Afrikaans-Engels linguistiese samebestaan, en swart subjektiwiteit word ook uitgelig binne die milieu van die agrariese landskap wat deur eersgeboortereg en die natuur-in-simpatie-procédé die karakters domineer.

La Banque mondiale propose la bonne gouvernance comme la stratégie visant à corriger les maux de la mauvaise gouvernance et de faciliter le développement dans les pays en développement (Carayannis, Pirzadeh, Popescu & 2012; & Hilyard Wilks 1998; Leftwich 1993; Banque mondiale, 1989). Dans cette perspective, la réforme institutionnelle et une arène de la politique publique plus inclusive sont deux stratégies critiques qui visent à établir la bonne gouvernance, selon la Banque et d'autres institutions de Bretton Woods. Le problème, c’est que beaucoup de ces pays en voie de développement ne possèdent pas l'architecture institutionnelle préalable à ces nouvelles mesures. Cette thèse étudie et explique comment un état en voie de développement, le Commonwealth de la Dominique, s’est lancé dans un projet de loi visant l'intégrité dans la fonction publique. Cette loi, la Loi sur l'intégrité dans la fonction publique (IPO) a été adoptée en 2003 et mis en œuvre en 2008. Cette thèse analyse les relations de pouvoir entre les acteurs dominants autour de évolution de la loi et donc, elle emploie une combinaison de technique de l'analyse des réseaux sociaux et de la recherche qualitative pour répondre à la question principale: Pourquoi l'État a-t-il développé et mis en œuvre la conception actuelle de la IPO (2003)? Cette question est d'autant plus significative quand nous considérons que contrairement à la recherche existante sur le sujet, l'IPO dominiquaise diverge considérablement dans la structure du l'IPO type idéal. Nous affirmons que les acteurs "rationnels, " conscients de leur position structurelle dans un réseau d'acteurs, ont utilisé leurs ressources de pouvoir pour façonner l'institution afin qu'elle serve leurs intérêts et ceux et leurs alliés. De plus, nous émettons l'hypothèse que: d'abord, le choix d'une agence spécialisée contre la corruption et la conception ultérieure de cette institution reflètent les préférences des acteurs dominants qui ont participé à la création de ladite institution et la seconde, notre hypothèse rivale, les caractéristiques des modèles alternatifs d'institutions de l'intégrité publique sont celles des acteurs non dominants. Nos résultats sont mitigés. Le jeu de pouvoir a été limité à un petit groupe d’acteurs dominants qui ont cherché à utiliser la création de la loi pour assurer leur légitimité et la survie politique. Sans surprise, aucun acteur n’a avancé un modèle alternatif. Nous avons conclu donc que la loi est la conséquence d’un jeu de pouvoir partisan. Cette recherche répond à la pénurie de recherche sur la conception des institutions de l'intégrité publique, qui semblent privilégier en grande partie un biais organisationnel et structurel. De plus, en étudiant le sujet du point de vue des relations de pouvoir (le pouvoir, lui-même, vu sous l’angle actanciel et structurel), la thèse apporte de la rigueur conceptuelle, méthodologique, et analytique au discours sur la création de ces institutions par l’étude de leur genèse des perspectives tant actancielles que structurelles. En outre, les résultats renforcent notre capacité de prédire quand et avec quelle intensité un acteur déploierait ses ressources de pouvoir. / The World Bank proposes good governance as the strategy to correcting the evils of bad governance and to facilitate development in developing states (Carayannis, Pirzadeh, & Popescu 2012; Hilyard & Wilks 1998; Leftwich 1993; World Bank 1989). From this perspective, institutional reform and a more inclusive public policy arena are two critical strategies that will likely lead to good governance, according to the Bank and other Bretton Woods institutions. The problem is that many of these states do not have the pre-requisite institutional architecture to accommodate such measures. This thesis studies and discusses how one developing state, the Commonwealth of Dominica, approached the development of an institution to oversee integrity in public office. This Act, the Integrity in Public Office Act (IPO) was passed in 2003 and implemented in 2008. The focus in the thesis is on power relations among dominant actors surrounding the IPO consequently, it employs a combination of social network analysis and qualitative research techniques to answer the principal question: Why did the state develop and implement the current design of the IPO (2003)? This question is all the more significant when we consider that contrary to existing research on the subject, the Dominican IPO diverges considerably in structure from the ideal-type IPO. We argue that “rational” actors, cognizant of their structural position in a network of actors, have used their power resources to shape the institution so that it serves them and their allies. We hypothesized that: First, the choice of a specialised anti-corruption agency and the subsequent design of that agency reflect the preferences of the dominant actors who were involved in the creation of the IPO and second, our rival hypothesis, the characteristics of alternative options and models of public integrity institutions are those of the non-dominant actors. Our results are mixed. Power play was limited among a small group of dominant actors who sought to use the creation of the Act as an opportunity for political legitimacy and survival. Not surprisingly, there was no alternative model advanced. We concluded therefore that the Act resulted from a purely partisan agenda. This research responds to the paucity of studies on the design of institutions of public integrity, which largely seem to have an organisational and structural bias. In addition, by embracing the topic from the perspective of power relations, the thesis adds conceptual, methodological, and analytical rigour to discourses on the creation of such institutions by studying their evolution from both agential and structural perspectives. Finally, the results offer us an opportunity to predict when and in what intensity actors will deploy their power resources.
