[pt] Este trabalho trata de alguns aspectos da obra de Ruy Cinatti, poeta que dentro do vasto panorama da poesia portuguesa do século XX destaca- se pela sua singularidade. Sua poesia, bem como seus estudos científicos, evidenciam a preocupação e o conhecimento do autor com relação às questões ecológicas e antropológicas, que se refletem nas suas posições políticas. Seus escritos figuram como instrumentos de denúncia contra a má utilização dos recursos naturais e da exploração do ser humano, relacionadas com a colonização portuguesa, bem como as inúmeras intervenções que Timor sofreu ao longo de sua história. Com sua formação científica interdisciplinar (silvicultor, antropólogo e engenheiro agrônomo) Ruy Cinatti tinha uma grande capacidade de enxergar a relação do homem com o meio em que vive de forma ampla e abrangente. Estas idéias refletem-se a todo momento nos poemas que dedicou a Timor. Em constantes viagens para reconhecimento do território, Cinatti intensificou sua relação com os timorenses. Isso só foi possível graças ao fato de ele ter transcendido o papel de português colonizador e ter conseguido aproximar-se do timorense de uma forma particular, a ponto de ser aceito pelos nativos como um irmão, o que se comprova pelo pacto de sangue que celebrou com dois chefes timorenses. A visão interdisciplinar e sensível do mundo torna sua obra poética e científica especial e singular, fazendo de Ruy Cinatti personagem fundamental na literatura portuguesa. / [en] This thesis concerns some aspects of the work of Ruy Cinnati, a poet whose singularity makes him an outstanding figure in the rich panorama of twentieth-century Portuguese poetry. His poems, as well as his scientific studies, testify to the author s interest and knowledge of environmental and anthropological issues, which are reflected in his political positions. His writings are expos s of the misuse of natural resources and the exploitation of human beings under Portuguese colonization, as well as of the countless interventions suffered by East Timor throughout its history. Thanks to his interdisciplinary scientific training (as a forest expert, an anthropologist and an agronomist) Ruy Cinatti was uniquely able to see man s relationship with the environment. These ideas are clearly present in the poems he dedicated to Timor. In his many surveying trips, Cinatti intensified his relations with the Timorese. This was made possible by his ability to transcend the role of the Portuguese colonizer and to get close to the Timorese to the point of being accepted by the natives as a brother witness the blood pact he celebrated with two Timorese chiefs. His interdisciplinary and sensitive worldview makes his poetic and scientific work rather special and unique, so that Ruy Cinatti has become a fundamental name in Portuguese literature.

Fear is an intrinsic human emotion, which produces with variable intensity a bodily reaction as a response to a stimuli. It is considered one of the basic human emotions, and it is universal of all animal species. Despite its subjective quality, fear has gained a rather negativistic stereotype that this research intends to debate and readdress, proposing that “negative fear” is part of an evolutionary transition cultivated by social and cultural constructs. This thesis will analyze the context in which fear operates, employing experience design methodologies and design research to reevaluate the role of fear in the contemporary settings of our societies to prove its connection to imagination, transhumanism and the production of empathy. After a brief historical perspective to situate this thesis in the contemporary framework of experience design, this research will investigate fear as prolific tool for the production of imagination, derived from its aesthetic connection to wonder and pleasure. This particular connection between fear to wonder was investigated among others by Charles Darwin, who also promoted the functionality of fear as the key to animal survival. The complex mechanism in which fear engages us will lead to the production of design prototypes that look at the animal kingdom and several other species’ talents in the detection and implementation of fear as a tool to survive. Here, the potential of our species to further evolve through the use of design will open a discussion on transhumanism and the future of humanity. The last section speculates a counterfactual conditional statement of how our humanity would operate, if emotional identities were reevaluated. In particular, the emotion of fear will be reevaluated for its unpleasant characteristics, from the bodily sensations to the mental postliminary conditions, to understand why certain human behaviors are still exercised, when the physiological effects are universally acknowledged as distasteful. By interpreting the physiological impact of fear, this research will continue its argument towards empathy, questioning what it truly means to ‘stand in someone’s else shoes’, specifically when fear is practiced. Empathy, as a pilaster in the mission statement of many contemporary disciplines, has surfaced in this research as viral phenomenon, which little has to do with truly ‘empathizing’. Here, it investigates how empathy can be experienced when fear is in play: if sharing fear as the bodily experience of someone else can lead to the production of authentic empathy, then humans have a chance to reevaluate its application in the contemporary global topics of war and diplomacy, domestic and public violence, or bullying to name a few. This research ultimately establishes a new perspective on the role of emotions in our societies, and creates a connection between design and the experience of intangibles, producing a view of the intrinsic systems of our being as ones deemed of value in the ambitious evolution of our species. / <p>The full thesis contains copyrighted material which has been removed in the published version.</p>

Les stratégies de conservation de la nature évoluent de la protection stricte d'espaces isolés et dépourvus d'activités humaines, à l'intégration des enjeux de biodiversité dans le développement territorial. Ce changement de perspective, des aires protégées à la territorialisation de l'environnement, suppose de gérer la complexité et d'appréhender la nature collectivement et met l'accent sur les relations entre science, politique et société. Cette thèse, fondée sur une approche pluridisciplinaire, a eu pour objectif l'élaboration de recommandations pour répondre aux enjeux d'une conservation intégrée de la biodiversité. S'inscrivant dans le contexte de l'avènement des stratégies de réseau écologique en France, notre recherche porte à la fois sur les méthodes spatiales et sur les dispositifs socio-techniques en charge de planifier la conservation intégrée de la biodiversité. Chacune de ces parties a mené à des résultats et conclusions qui leur sont propres et a contribué à une réflexion plus globale sur le rôle de l'expertise technique pour répondre à ces nouveaux enjeux. Nous montrons comment une approche trop technique, centrée notamment sur la spatialisation du réseau écologique, tend non seulement à limiter le partage au sein du collectif et donc l'adhésion des acteurs mais aussi à fournir une vision réductrice et partielle des enjeux de conservation. A l'inverse, un positionnement de l'expertise en accompagnement du dialogue territorial favorise l'apprentissage social et aboutit à un cadre d'action publique qui intègre davantage les incertitudes et la complexité du vivant. Le processus participatif doit donc permettre d'opérer un glissement de l'expertise technique comme fondement de l'action publique à l'expertise collective qui assure l'intégration des savoirs et savoirs-faire de tous. Ainsi l'enjeu n'est pas celui du compromis entre science, technique et débat social mais plutôt celui de la gestion de leur interaction et de leur complémentarité. / Nature conservation strategies evolve from the strict protection of isolated and devoid of human activity spaces, to the integration of biodiversity issues in territory development. This change in perspective requires the development of a collective management of complexity and a collective conception of nature and highlights the developing relationship between science, policy and society.Based on a multidisciplinary approach, the objective of this thesis was the elaboration of recommendations for integrated conservation. In the context of the advent of ecological network strategies in France, our research concerns both the spatial methods and the socio-technical process which are in charge of the conservation planning. The analysis of these two issues has produced results pertinent to each theme and more general reflection concerning the role of technical expertise in the development of such new issues. We show how an overly technical approach, which notably aims to spatially identify the network, tends to limit the collective sharing of major issues and thus the adherence of the stakeholders to conservation goals, and also provide a reductive and partial vision of conservation issues. In contrast, a position of expertise which accompanies the dialogue on territory favors social learning and leads to a framework for public action which more fully integrates both the uncertainty and complexity of the natural world. The participative process could thus allow tfor a transition from technical to collective expertise as the foundation of public action, which ensures the inclusion of general knowledge and know-how. In this way, the issue is not of a compromise between science, technique and social debate, but of the way that they can complement each other through interaction and how this interaction may be conducted.

Il s'agit d'une recherche développement double, c’est-à-dire qu’elle propose des développements à la fois théoriques et pratiques. Son principal apport est le développement d'une théorie didactique interdisciplinaire de littérature et musique comparées répondant à un manque théorique en ce domaine. / Au collégial, les enseignants en littérature font face à un défi de complémentarité entre compétence et culture. Notre projet vise à permettre un élargissement culturel par l’enseignement de la littérature et de la musique comparées selon une approche de résolution de problèmes. Cependant, la théorie didactique permettant l’établissement d’une telle matière scolaire interdisciplinaire est inexistante. Notre recherche développement propose une didactique propre à une telle approche par un volet théorique et un volet pratique. Pour répondre à notre objectif de recherche, le chapitre deux présente le volet théorique qui fonde une didactique de littérature et musique comparées par une analyse de type conceptuel (Van der Maren, 2004). Nous y développons un Référentiel composé de trois parties : la première, épistémologique, fait ressortir certains enjeux de l’interdisciplinarité. Ensuite, sous l’angle didactique, nous traitons des paramètres des processus de transformations et de transpositions apportées aux savoirs dans un contexte scolaire interdisciplinaire. Enfin, la troisième partie, basée sur les deux précédentes, propose des balises d’arrimage interdisciplinaires des contenus entre littérature et musique. Ensuite, pour élaborer notre objet de recherche, le chapitre trois explicite le volet pratique. En nous appuyant sur les développements de notre Référentiel, nous y présentons nos trois devis de production : le devis des connaissances, le devis pédagogique et le devis médiatique, selon la méthodologie de recherche développement proposée par Loiselle et Harvey (2009). Ces devis mènent à la réalisation de notre objet de recherche : un exemple de plan de cours de littérature et musique comparées. Ce plan de cours propose trois étapes: 1) présentation des contenus généraux de littérature et musique afin de différencier les deux arts, 2) exploration des liens interdisciplinaires à partir des sons, voyelles et consonnes jusqu'à l'espace et la temporalité du récit, et 3) production qui permet aux élèves de plonger dans un travail final de littérature et musique comparées à partir d'œuvres littéraires concrètes et complètes. Pour terminer ce chapitre méthodologique, nous traitons des conditions relatives à l’évaluation de cette recherche développement par un panel de répondants tiers experts, en vue de discuter des résultats obtenus. Ce panel d'experts est composé d'un professeur d'université, d'une chercheure de l'ordre collégial et d'une conseillère pédagogique au collégial. Selon l'évaluation des experts, notre recherche développement présente un haut degré de pertinence et de nouveauté sur le plan théorique. Elle répond au manque de théorie didactique interdisciplinaire en littérature et musique comparées. De plus, sur le plan pratique, notre exemple de plan de cours s'avère fonctionnel, consultable, adaptable et transférable, et peut servir d'exemple pour tout gabarit de plan de cours institutionnel ou pour des séquences didactiques visant un élargissement culturel interdisciplinaire. / At the collegial level, literature professors face the challenge of competence and culture’s complementarily. This project is designed to foster cultural development through the teaching of comparative literature and music based on a problem-solving approach. However, there is no theory of instruction that lends itself to the establishment of such interdisciplinary course material. This research-development intends to develop a didactics theory appropriate to such an approach through a theoretical component and a practical one. To address the purpose of the research, the second chapter presents the theoretical component, which establishes a theory for teaching comparative literature and music through a conceptual analysis (Van der Maren, 2004). In this section, a reference document composed of three parts is developed. The first is epistemological and emphasizes certain issues regarding interdisciplinarity. Didactic in nature, the second deals with the parameters of the processes of transformation and of transpositions applied to knowledge in the context of interdisciplinary education. The third and final part is based on the two that precede it, suggesting points where elements of interdisciplinary content intersect to link literature and music. The third chapter then describes the practical component in detail in order to develop the research product. Building on the developments of the reference document, this section presents the three product specification documents: the knowledge specifications, the pedagogical specifications and the media specifications, according to a research-development methodology proposed Loiselle et Harvey (2009). These documents lead to the concrete realization of the research product: a sample outline for a comparative literature and music course. This outline is divided into three phases: 1) a presentation of general content regarding literature and music to differentiate the two arts, 2) an exploration of interdisciplinary links from sounds, vowels and consonants to the space and temporality of the story, and 3) a written work that requires students to delve into a final comparative literature and music assignment based on concrete and complete literary works. Completing this methodological chapter is an examination of the conditions related to the evaluation of this research-development by a panel of third-party expert respondents for the purpose of discussing the results obtained. This panel of experts includes a university professor, a college-level researcher and an educational consultant at the college level. According to the experts’ assessment, this research-development exhibits a high degree of relevance and innovation from a theoretical perspective. It addresses the lack of an interdisciplinary theory of instruction in comparative literature and music. Moreover, from the practical perspective, the sample outline has proved to be functional, consultable, adaptable and transferable, and it may be used as an example for any institutional course outline template or for teaching sequences aimed at interdisciplinary cultural development.

Problématique : Dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population et de complexification des besoins de santé, travailler en interdisciplinarité est devenu une nécessité pour prodiguer des soins de qualité aux personnes âgées vulnérables. Les avantages de l’interdisciplinarité sont connus mais son intégration dans la pratique des professionnels de la santé se vit parfois difficilement. La compréhension de la perception de l’interdisciplinarité de la part des infirmières est un élément majeur d’une pratique de collaboration interprofessionnelle réussie, mais ce sujet a été peu étudié, encore moins en milieu gériatrique. Méthodologie : Le but de cette étude était d’explorer la perception de l’interdisciplinarité des infirmières dans le cadre d’une étude qualitative exploratoire. Les données ont été collectées grâce à sept entrevues semi-dirigées et une discussion de groupe. La méthode de Tesch (1990) fut utilisée pour l’analyse des données et une représentation de la perception fut élaborée. Résultats : Pour les participantes, l’interdisciplinarité est perçue comme un processus d’équilibre parfois difficile entre leur désir d’affirmer leur identité professionnelle et leur désir de collaborer et de travailler en synergie avec les autres intervenants, et ce pour le bien-être de la personne âgée. Elles trouvent que l’apport de l’infirmière à l’équipe interdisciplinaire est indispensable et que sa disponibilité et sa proximité du patient lui donne un statut privilégié pour être le pivot au sein de l’équipe interdisciplinaire. Elles soulignent aussi que la vulnérabilité de la clientèle et l’absence du proche-aidant lors des réunions interdisciplinaires poussent les infirmières à jouer le rôle de porte-parole de la personne âgée. Elles identifient unanimement la communication comme l’élément déterminant d’une collaboration réussie. Elles ajoutent que le leadership, la compétence et l’expérience de l’infirmière sont des déterminants importants pour une interdisciplinarité réussie, alors que la présence du désir de collaborer et le respect mutuel doivent être présents chez tous les intervenants de l’équipe pour collaborer harmonieusement. Par ailleurs, parmi tous les facteurs structurels et organisationnels, seule la pénurie des ressources professionnelles a été identifiée comme un déterminant ayant une incidence sur le travail interdisciplinaire. / Problem: In the context of an ageing population and of the complexification of health needs, working in interdisciplinarity became a necessity to give quality care to the vulnerable older people. Advantages of working in interdisciplinarity are known but its integration in the practice of healthcare professionals is sometimes difficult. The understanding of the perception of interdisciplinarity by nurses is an important element for successful interprofessional collaboration, however this subject was little studied in general, even less in a geriatric context. Methodology: The purpose of this exploratory qualitative study was to explore the perception of interdisciplinarity by nurses. Data were collected with seven semi-structured interviews and one group discussion. Tesch’s method (1990) was used to analyze the data and a representation of nurses’s perception was elaborated. Results: Interdisciplinarity is perceived as a fragile balance process between participants’desire to assert their professional identity and their wish to collaborate and to work in synergy with the other professionnals in the interest of older person’s wellbeing. Participants consider nurses’ contribution to the interdisciplinary team indispensable and that their availability and nearness to patients give them a privileged status making them the pivot of the team. They also underline that the vulnerability of older people and the absence of family caregivers during interdisciplinary meetings urge nurses to act as the older person’s spokesman. They unanimously identify communication as the major element of a successful collaboration. They add that the leadership, the competence and the experience of nurses are important determinants of a successful interdisciplinarity, while the desire to collaborate and mutual respect have to be shown by all the team members to work harmoniously. Moreover, among all potential structural and organizational factors, only shortage of professional resources was identified as having an incidence on interdisciplinarity.

Ce mémoire rend compte de la création du « documentaire acousmatique » Littorale, une œuvre musicale à visée informative, élaborée au moyen de prises de son in situ, d’extraits d’archives sonores et des témoignages de sept informateurs. En tissant des liens entre les deux disciplines médiatiques que sont la composition acousmatique et le documentaire, l’œuvre retrace l’histoire d’un impressionnant corpus de chants folkloriques récoltés en 1918 par l’ethnologue Marius Barbeau, dans les villages côtiers de Sainte-Anne-des-Monts et Tourelle, Haute-Gaspésie. La démarche de composition s’élabore ainsi en trois axes communicants : la mise en lumière de liens préexistants mais sous-exploités entre le documentaire et l’acousmatique, la recherche de terrain entourant le répertoire de chansons et sa résurgence dans la population actuelle de la Haute-Gaspésie, ainsi que la composition des trois mouvements musicaux constituant Littorale. À travers l’investigation d’enjeux identitaires qui découlent de la redécouverte du répertoire et la mise en lumière de certains flous historiques qui y sont reliés, cet alliage de deux genres médiatiques vise l’émergence d’une démarche de composition informative et socialement pertinente. / This thesis explains the creative process behind the “acousmatic documentary” Littorale, a musical work with informative perspectives, which primarily makes use of on-site sound recordings, sound archives and the testimonies of seven informers. Aiming to establish links between the two media practices consisting of documentary and acousmatic music, the work investigates the story behind an impressive repertory of folksongs collected by ethnologist Marius Barbeau in 1918, within a small population of fishermen in Sainte-Anne- des-Monts and Tourelle, two remote villages on the north shore of the Gaspésie peninsula. The composing process is thus divided into three distinct yet interrelated steps: shedding light onto existing but underused links between documentary practices and acousmatic music, investigating the repertory of folksongs and its contemporary rediscovery by the local people, which reveals underlying identity concerns, as well as the composing itself of the three musical movements of Littorale. Through investigating the aforementioned identity concerns and shedding new light on some historical misconceptions, this alloy of two media practices aims to approach acousmatic composition in a way that is both informative and socially relevant.

It looks into Moser-Mercer's dominant research areas - i.e. interpreting expertise, quality and interpreters' working conditions - and also introduces her model of interpreting and outlines its use in teaching. Furthermore, this thesis explores Moser-Mercer's teaching and interpreting projects and, last but not least, addresses her contribution to interdisciplinary cooperation. Key words: Barbara Moser-Mercer, interdisciplinarity, quality in interpreting, working conditions, adaptive expertise, information processing model

The present thesis is a descriptive theoretical study which aims at mapping Min'jar- Beloruchev's work in the context of contemporary and modern theories and presenting a comprehensive view of author's note-taking system for consecutive interpreting. The analysis of the system forms the crux of this thesis, which focuses on sources that represent the basis of the system, individual features of the system as well as factors that influenced his decisions while working on the system. Other parts of the thesis focuse on a consecutive interpreting training system, that was developed by the author, and to some extent deal with his views on translatology as a science and the interpreting process itself.

A key challenge of the Anthropocene is to advance human development without undermining critical ecosystem services. Central to this challenge is a better understanding of the interactions and feedbacks between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, which interact in dynamic and complex social-ecological systems. These relationships have been the focus of much work in the past decades, however more remains to be done to comprehensively identify and quantify them, especially at larger scales. In this thesis, a social-ecological systems approach is adopted to investigate connections between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being in South Africa. The country’s high levels of biological and socio-economic diversity, as well as its emerging economy make South Africa an interesting case for exploring these connections. Using data from a variety of public sources, and at different sub-national scales, the thesis first identifies and analyses a variety of bundles of ecosystem service use. Based on these bundles, three social-ecological system archetypes were identified and mapped in South Africa, namely the green-loop (high overall use of local ecosystem services), transition, and red-loop (low overall use of local ecosystem services) systems. Further analysis explored the social and ecological drivers of these patterns, and found the distribution of systems mainly influenced by social factors including household income, gender of the household head, and land tenure. Second, this thesis uses human well-being indicators to construct, analyse and map multi-dimensional human well-being bundles. These bundles were found to spatially cluster across the landscape, and were analysed for congruence with the ecosystem service use bundles. Discrepancies in the expected overlap of ecosystem service use and human well-being were highlighted and concur with findings elsewhere and the ongoing debate in the literature on the impacts of time-lags, indicator choice and scale of these interactions. Third, biodiversity in South Africa was analysed by employing an indicator of biodiversity intactness (BII) at the population level. The BII was found to have declined by 18.3% since pre-industrial times. Biodiversity loss was linked to the potential supply of ecosystem services, as well as human well-being patterns. A potential threshold at 40% biodiversity loss was detected, beyond which population abundances decline sharply. Finally, the thesis examines multiple perspectives on ecosystem services in sustainability research, including the social-ecological systems perspective, and discusses the complementarity of the different perspectives in furthering a deeper understanding of the connections between people and ecosystems. The social-ecological systems perspective employed throughout the empirical work presented in this thesis contributed towards cross-cutting insights, the testing of new kinds of data and the development of new approaches, all of which represent important steps towards unravelling the connections between biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, and contributing to the key Anthropocene challenge of sustainable development. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 2: Submitted.
