Depuis 1980, les villes ont commencé à questionner leur position et leur rôle dans le système mondial avec la croissance de la compétition entre les villes mondiales ainsi que leurs relations intra-muros. La combinaison des politiques de régénération urbaine et culturelle est devenue l'un des outils de transformation important qui expose des changements socio-économique dans l'espace urbain et renouvelle ou/et constitue l'image de la ville. Ainsi la différenciation des stratégies d'application de ces politiques apparaît aussi très profondément dans le positionnement des acteurs lors du processus décisionnel. La régénération urbaine, le mot magique depuis les années 2000, est devenu l'un des principaux outils sur lequel les acteurs s'appuient pour transformer Istanbul. Ainsi, la Corne d'Or est un quartier où nous voyons comment les politiques culturelles et de régénération urbaine se combinent dans l'espace urbain et comment le processus de régénération se différencie en fonction des points de rupture du positionnement des acteurs publics et privés. Nos analyses montrent, dans un premier temps, que les expériences de la régénération urbaine liée à la culture comportent des similitudes par rapports aux autres expériences internationales mais qu'elles demeurent néanmoins différentes à cause du positionnement des acteurs dans le processus décisionnel. Dans un second temps, ils expliquent comment la culture a été intégrée dans l'image d'Istanbul par l'intermédiaire des plans d'urbanisme alors que les projets de régénération nourrit par cette vision restent isolés dans l'espace urbain qui amènent donc une déconnexion socio-économique. / As of 1980s, cities begun to question their position and role in the global system with growing competition among global cities and their intramural relationships. In this context, the combination of urban regeneration and cultural policies has become one of the major processing tools that exposes the socio-economic changes in urban space and renews and/or creates an image of the city, Furthermore, the positioning of public and private actors in the decision making process is one of the important issues which differentiates projects, their socio-economic effects and the degree of integration of the projects in the transformation process. Urban regeneration, the magic word in the 2000s, became one of the main tools that public actors rely on in order to transform Istanbul. The Golden Horn is one of the important areas where we see how cultural policies and urban regeneration combine in urban areas and the regeneration process differs based on breaking points that depend on the position of public and private actors. First, this thesis shows that experiences of culture-led urban regeneration of Istanbul and Golden Horn have similarities to international experience, however we also note that they differentiate significantly at certain points because of the positioning of the actors in the decision-making process, disconnection and discontinuity of overall vision of public actors Second, the analysis explains how culture has been integrated into the image of Istanbul through urban regeneration projects developed by this vision although these projects are isolated in urban space that brings a socio-economic disconnection.

La thèse examine, à partir de la question patrimoniale, les dynamiques sociales en cours dans des villes du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient. Sont ainsi analysés les rapports entre les mises en patrimoine et en tourisme et les pratiques artisanales et leurs évolutions dans les centres urbains anciens de Fès, Istanbul et Alep. L’analyse comparée vise à montrer comment en résulte de multiples recompositions, sociales, spatiales et identitaires. Espaces du monde artisanal, visités par les touristes, les centres urbains anciens sont pensés comme une ressource à valoriser par des acteurs locaux et internationaux. Les imaginaires patrimoniaux et touristiques contribuent ainsi à catégoriser l’artisanat, érigé en figure patrimoniale, jugé illégitime, parfois réinventé. Leur mise en acte participe d’un processus d’esthétisation, entre évincement et mise en scène des artisans. Les positions sociales des artisans peuvent alors changer tandis qu’ils développent leurs propres actions pour composer avec l’action publique patrimoniale et le tourisme. / This thesis examines the heritage question, and seeks to understand social dynamics in progress within the cities of the Maghreb and the Middle East. Thus are analyzed the relations between heritagization and touristification, as well as the artisanal practices and their evolution within the ancient urban centres of Fez, Istanbul and Aleppo. The comparative study aims at showing how multiple social, spatial, and identity reorganisation processes are resulting from it. Areas of craft world, visited by the tourists, the ancient urban centres are thought like a resource, which needs to be valorised by local and international actors. In this way, heritage and touristic imaginations are contributing to the craft industry’s categorization, which is established as a heritage figure, judged illicit, and sometime is reinvented. This setting participates to an aesthetic process, in which the craftsmen are ousted or staged as part of the scenery. The craftsmen social position can therefore be changing whereas they are developing their own actions, compromising with the public heritage action and tourism.

As the title suggests, <i>Byzantios</i> or <i>About the Imperial Megalopolis</i> is the eulogy of Constantinople, one of Theodore Metochites' many works that still remain unpublished due to the writer's obscure style. My primary aim in this edition has been to establish the text, an oration written by one of the most prominent figures of the Palaeologan Renaissance. In fact, the text constitutes the eulogy of the Capital of the Byzantine Empire and it could provide useful information to historians, archaeologists and Various scholars. However, I must ask for the reader's understanding regarding the matters of punctuation. The artificial style and rhetorical presentation in many passages make no wonder if a satisfactory rendering of the Greek can be achieved. I have added an Introduction where I deal with Metochites' life and works, the genre of <i>Byzantios</i> and a few more issues raised by the oration (missing folios, dating of the oration, etc.). The text needs to be elucidated from a wide Variety of sources, historical and literary, and this is the main aim of the commentary. In addition. I wished to present reasons for my interventions in the Greek text, to offer some parallels from other - mainly rhetorical - works and to give the quotations of the classical authors to which Metochites refers. Obviously the commentary does not provide exhaustive discussion of the many different topics raised in <i>Byzantios</i>, but I hope to have provided a minimum bibliography for further study. The appendix at the end shows how much Metochites followed Menander's precepts. I believe that the indexes will also prove useful to the reader.

In international humanitarian discourse, gender-based violence against women have long been recognised as a human rights violation and described as the most extreme expression of unequal power relations between men and women (UN 1993). Using a qualitative content analysis to examine the GREVIO reports of Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, the aim of this thesis is to outline the differences between and within these states regarding their response to violence against women. Drawing on insights from feminist political theory, and especially Nordic feminist theorists, these differences are made visible using the three concepts: hegemonic discourse, contradictory effects, and boundaries (Kantola and Dahl 2005). The theoretical background is complemented by theoretical contributions from feminist understandings of violence against women. In analysing the main differences between the states, many of these differences can be derived from the fact that the three states frame the violence differently, with Sweden adopting a gender-based frame while Denmark and Finland adopt gender-neutral frames of the violence. In analysing differences within states, there are two distinct forms of differences: differences due to a gap between principle and practice, and differences between various parts of the country. The findings of this thesis may provide a base for future in-depth studies of the Nordic, women-friendly, welfare states.
