Il s'est agi dans ce travail d'examiner les conditions d'émergence d'un projet "hétérodoxe" dans l'histoire de la pensée économique: l'économie écologique. Nous mettons en avant le rôle précurseur de deux économistes d'après-guerre: Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (1906-1994) et Kenneth Boulding (1910-1993). Par ailleurs, nous avons voulu mettre en évidence la singularité du discours écologique qui sous-tend l'économie écologique en analysant le paradigme écosystémique qui émerge après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et qui s'impose dans le champ de l'écologie scientifique. Ce travail constitue ainsi un éclairage important sur la préhistoire du courant Ecological Economies. / We have examined in this work the conditions of the emergence of an heteradox praject in the history of economic thought. We highlight the pioneering raie of two important postwar economists: Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (1906-1994) and Kenneth Boulding (1910-1993) ln addition, we emphasize the uniqueness of the ecological "discourse" that underlies ecological economics by analyzing the dominant ecosystem paradigm in the field of ecolog after the Second World War. Ultimately, this work represents an important highlight on the prehistory of current Ecological Economies.

<p>The research for this thesis started off as a long academic essay that sought to review a 1970s biography of Kenneth Kaunda.1 In its original focus, the study aimed at evaluating the work on the narrations of Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s life from a theoretical and critical perspective. Specifically it sought to evaluate the biography for its theoretical and methodological approaches, its attention to issues of sources, archives, narrative and history. In addition, it aimed at locating the biography in relation to debates over biography and history in South Africa. As I began my research for the long essay, it soon became apparent that the biography of Kenneth Kaunda ended its narration in 1964 and yet it was published ten years later in 1974. By ending its &lsquo / coverage&rsquo / of the narrations of Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s life in 1964, it seemed obvious that its coverage was in many ways similar to his autobiography that was published in 1962.2 The ending of the biography&rsquo / s coverage in 1964 thus seemed rather abrupt as it precluded any representations of the subject in the post 1964 period in which he had become President of Zambia. Kenneth Kaunda was&nbsp / resident of Zambia for nearly three decades (1964-1991) having led the &lsquo / final&rsquo / phase of the nationalist struggle for Independence through the United National Independence Party (UNIP). Surely, I surmised, the meanings of Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s life as nationalist leader, as presented in most of his biography, would differ from those of him as&nbsp / President? Upon evaluating the biography, it seemed to be a largely chronological and descriptive rather analytical account of the subject&rsquo / s life. However, what made it profound to me was the ways in which it entwined the narratives of Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s life with the events, dates 1 The biography of Kenneth Kaunda by Fergus Macpherson was the subject of the long essay. See Fergus Macpherson, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia: The Times and the Man (Lusaka: Oxford University Press, 1974). 2 Kenneth D. Kaunda, Zambia Shall Be Free: An Autobiography (London: Heinemann Educational Books&nbsp / td, 1962). and activities of the history of the Zambian nation. Some accounts inadvertently referred to this interconnection by referring to Kenneth Kaunda as the &lsquo / founder of Zambia&rsquo / . My&nbsp / &nbsp / exposure to various other debates around the production of history in the public domain such as through museums and national heritage sites or monuments prompted me to consider undertaking a study of the post-1964 historiography of Kenneth Kaunda. Rather than attempting to fill Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s post-1964 historiographical gap with a chronological account of his political life, I wanted to trace the narratives of Kenneth Kaunda&rsquo / s life in connection with the production of history in different domains in Zambia. This thesis thus aims at examining the political auto/biographical narrations of Kenneth Kaunda in relation to the production of nationalist history and national heritage in Zambia in the years following the country&rsquo / s Independence in 1964.4 One of the key questions that this study sought to engage with was: how did the &lsquo / representations&rsquo / of Kenneth Kaunda influence the ways in which Zambia&rsquo / s post-independence nationalist history and national heritage were produced? In seeking to provide an answer to the question, the study evaluated the auto/biography of Kenneth Kaunda itself, as well as how it reflects in the history texts utilised in Zambian schools and in history in the public domain through national heritage sites or monuments and museum exhibitions. The thesis will show that in Zambia, the auto/biography of Kenneth Kaunda has acquired significance through history as school lesson and as history in the public domain, through the production of national heritage sites and museum exhibitions.</p>

This thesis analyzes Kenneth Burke's rhetoric of identification. I will examine the extent to which Burke's earliest critical writings, which focus on the suasive nature of literary forms, affected the writing of his later critical works, which deal with how language functions as a type of symbolic action. In his later texts, Burke breaks with his earlier concern with literary discourse by attempting to expound a critical theory that accounts for historical change, human motivation and the role of language in collective communities. He argues that language motivates people to identify with a certain sets of beliefs by transcending an opposing set of beliefs. Section One is an account of Burke's earlier conception of ideology in relation to his view of literary discourse. In Section Two the emphasis shifts toward a study of how Burke integrates his notion of ideology with his theory of a rhetoric of identification.
