Kibbi and kinship: Lebanese home cooking in Latin America as a method for memory, kinship, and the hybridization of food and identity

Lord, Giselle Kennedy January 2018 (has links)
CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to explore the practice, significance, and development over time of ‘traditional’ home cooking for the descendants of Lebanese immigrants in Argentina and greater Latin America. This is an exploratory paper suggestive of themes that could be examined more deeply through more localized research (Rowe 2012). Nonetheless, this study supports a number of conclusions about this dynamic diasporic group and its relationship to traditional food practices. Narratives and responses about meaning in memory, kinship, and tradition tell an important story about motivations for engaging in food and cooking practices among the descendants of the Lebanese diaspora in Latin America. My study shows that my participants and respondents engage in food and cooking practice as a largely unselfconscious reproduction of cultural identity motivated primarily by a desire to connect with their kin, to evoke memories of their past, and to preserve the gastronomic heritage taught to them—whether directly or indirectly—by their immigrant ancestors.

Développement et évaluation d’un environnement informatisé d’apprentissage pour faciliter l’intégration des sciences et de la technologie

Saliba, Marie-Thérèse 03 1900 (has links)
Par cette recherche, nous voulons évaluer de manière exhaustive les bénéfices qu’apporte l’ExAO (Expérimentation Assistée par Ordinateur) dans les laboratoires scolaires de sciences et technologie au Liban. Nous aimerions aussi qu’elle contribue d’une manière tangible aux recherches du laboratoire de Robotique Pédagogique de l’Université de Montréal, notamment dans le développement du µlaboratoire ExAO. Nous avons voulu tester les capacités de l’ExAO, son utilisation en situation de classe comme : 1. Substitut d’un laboratoire traditionnel dans l’utilisation de la méthode expérimentale; 2. Outil d’investigation scientifique; 3. Outil d’intégration des sciences expérimentales et des mathématiques; 4. Outil d’intégration des sciences expérimentales, des mathématiques et de la technologie dans un apprentissage technoscientifique; Pour ce faire, nous avons mobilisé 13 groupe-classes de niveaux complémentaire et secondaire, provenant de 10 écoles libanaises. Nous avons désigné leurs enseignants pour expérimenter eux-mêmes avec leurs étudiants afin d’évaluer, de manière plus réaliste les avantages d’implanter ce micro laboratoire informatisé à l’école. Les différentes mise à l’essai, évaluées à l’aide des résultats des activités d’apprentissage réalisées par les étudiants, de leurs réponses à un questionnaire et des commentaires des enseignants, nous montrent que : 1. La substitution d’un laboratoire traditionnel par un µlaboratoire ExAO ne semble pas poser de problème; dix minutes ont suffi aux étudiants pour se familiariser avec cet environnement, mentionnant que la rapidité avec laquelle les données étaient représentées sous forme graphique était plus productive. 2. Pour l’investigation d’un phénomène physique, la convivialité du didacticiel associée à la capacité d’amplifier le phénomène avant de le représenter graphiquement a permis aux étudiants de concevoir et de mettre en œuvre rapidement et de manière autonome, une expérimentation permettant de vérifier leur prédiction. 3. L’intégration des mathématiques dans une démarche expérimentale permet d’appréhender plus rapidement le phénomène. De plus, elle donne un sens aux représentations graphiques et algébriques, à l’avis des enseignants, permettant d’utiliser celle-ci comme outil cognitif pour interpréter le phénomène. 4. La démarche réalisée par les étudiants pour concevoir et construire un objet technologique, nous a montré que cette activité a été réalisée facilement par l’utilisation des capteurs universels et des amplificateurs à décalage de l’outil de modélisation graphique ainsi que la capacité du didacticiel à transformer toute variable mesurée par une autre variable (par exemple la variation de résistance en variation de température, …). Cette activité didactique nous montre que les étudiants n’ont eu aucune difficulté à intégrer dans une même activité d’apprentissage les mathématiques, les sciences expérimentales et la technologie, afin de concevoir et réaliser un objet technologique fonctionnel. µlaboratoire ExAO, en offrant de nouvelles possibilités didactiques, comme la capacité de concevoir, réaliser et valider un objet technologique, de disposer pour ce faire, des capacités nouvelles pour amplifier les mesures, modéliser les phénomènes physiques, créer de nouveaux capteurs, est un ajout important aux expériences actuellement réalisées en ExAO. / Through this research we will fully assess the benefits brought by the ExAO (Computer Assisted Experimentation) in school laboratories of science and technology in Lebanon. We would also like to mention its contribution in a tangible way in laboratory research of Pedagogic Robotic from Montreal University, particularly in the development of ExAO µlaboratory. We wanted to test the capabilities of the ExAO, its use in the classroom such as: 1. A replacement of a traditional laboratory in the use of the experimental method. 2. A scientific investigation tool. 3. An integration tool of experimental sciences and mathematics. 4. An integration tool of experimental sciences, mathematics and technology in the technoscientific learning. To do so, we have mobilized 13 group classes, designated teachers to experiment themselves along with their students in order to assess, in a more realistic way, the benefits of implementing this micro computer laboratory at school. Different testing, evaluated using the results of learning activities undertaken by students, their responses to a questionnaire and feedback from teachers, show that: 1. The replacement of a traditional laboratory with an ExAO µlaboratory does not seem to pose problem, expected that students have adapted to it in only ten minutes, indicating that the speed with which data were graphed was more productive. 2. In order to investigate a physical phenomenon, the usability of the tutorial associated with the ability to amplify the phenomenon before its graph representation, has allowed students to design and implement quickly and independently an experiment to verify their prediction. 3. The integration of mathematics into an experimental approach can quickly grasp the phenomenon. In addition, it gives more autonomy and a meaning to the graphs and algebraic representations allowing to use them as a cognitive tool to interpret this phenomenon. 4. The approach made by the students to design and construct a technological object, showed that this activity was easily carried out by the use of universal sensors, amplifiers to offset the graphical modeling tool, and the tutorial ability to transform any measured variable by another variable (for instance, the resistance variation in temperature change, …). This educational activity shows that students had no difficulty integrating in a single learning activity the mathematics, experimental sciences and technology, in order to design and implement a functional piece of technology. The ExAO µlaboratory, by offering new educational opportunities, such as the ability to design, produce and validate a technological object, in order to do so, new capacities to boost measures, modeling physical phenomena, developing new sensors, is an important addition to the experiments being conducted in ExAO.

Les bases de données environnementales : entre complexité et simplification : mutualisation et intégration d’outils partagés et adaptés à l’observatoire O-LiFE / Environmental databases : between complexity and simplification : mutualization and integration of shared tools adapted to O-LiFE Observatory

Hajj-Hassan, Hicham 19 December 2016 (has links)
O-LiFE est un observatoire de l’environnement dédié à l’étude des ressources et de la biodiversité dans la zone critique à la vie, focalisé sur la méditerranée. C’est aussi une structure à l’interface entre la recherche fondamentale et les porteurs d’enjeux. Cette plateforme initiée en collaboration entre des équipes libanaises et françaises se focalise d’abord sur l’observation systémique du milieu naturel, autour des thématiques de l’eau, la biodiversité et la gestion de l’environnement. Le fondement de l’observatoire est la mise en oeuvre d’une approche transdisciplinaire du défi du changement global. Structurer, partager, pérenniser et valoriser les données environnementales constitue un objectif prioritaire pour permettre à une large communauté de converger vers une approche réellement systémique et transdisciplinaire des enjeux environnementaux en Méditerranée. La construction d’un système d’information permettant cette mise en relation complète des données est donc prioritaire. Cependant cette mise en oeuvre est rendu complexe par plusieurs défis à relever pour répondre aux utilisateurs finaux et producteurs de données qui ne partagent pas les mêmes besoins, et pour tenir compte de l’hétérogénéité naturelle des données.Dans cette thèse, nous détaillons par conséquent les réflexions et travaux menés pour la mise en place de l’architecture du SI de l’observatoire. Le travail a été initié par une enquête permettant de mieux connaître les sources de données existantes. Nous avons ensuite proposé d’utiliser les environnements de gestion de données d’observations basés sur des ontologies partagées et les recommandations des consortiums reconnus (OGC). Des extensions sont proposées pour permettre la prise en compte de points de vue distincts sur les données via des multi-mapping. Cette extension permet un découplage entre la vision initiale du producteur de données et les multiples utilisations possibles des données à l’aide de croisement avec d’autres sources de données et/ou d’autres points de vue.Nous avons enfin appliqué la méthodologie sur les données O-LiFE et avons pu extraire des croisements de données inter-bases (entre deux sources de données distinctes) et intra-bases (en juxtaposant des points de vue distincts sur une même source de données). Ce travail est une démonstration du rôle fondamental des outils du SI et des observatoires dans le rapprochement indispensable des communautés scientifiques autant que des porteurs d’enjeux pour la résolution des grands défis sociétaux environnementaux, notamment en Méditerranéen. / O-LiFE is an environmental observatory dedicated to the study of resources and biodiversity in the critical area of life, focused on the Mediterranean. It is also a structure at the interface between basic research and the holders of issues. This platform initiated in collaboration between Lebanese and French teams focuses first on systemic observation of the natural environment around the themes of water, biodiversity and environmental management. The foundation of the observatory is the implementation of a transdisciplinary approach to the challenge of global change.Organize, share, sustain and enhance environmental data is a priority objective to enable the wider community to converge towards a truly systemic and transdisciplinary approach to environmental issues in the Mediterranean. The construction of an information system allowing complete connection of data is therefore a priority. However, this implementation is complicated by a number of challenges to meet the end users and data producers expectations who do not share the same needs, and to take into account thenatural heterogeneity of data.In this PhD, we detail brainstorming and work needed for the development of the architecture of the information system of the observatory. The work was initiated by a survey to better understand theexisting sources of data. We then proposed to use observational data management environments based on shared ontologies and the recommendations of recognized consortia (OGC). Extensions are proposed to enable the inclusion of different perspectives on data through multi-mapping. This extension allows a decouplingbetween the original vision of the data producer and the many possible uses of the data with crossbreeding with other data sources and / or other views.We then applied the methodology on the O-LiFE data and were able to extract inter-data analysis (between two distinct data sources) and intra-bases analysis (by juxtaposing different points of view on the same data source). This work is a demonstration of the fundamental role of IS tools and observatories in the essential gathering of the scientific communities as much as stakeholders to resolve major environmental challenges facing society, particularly in Mediterranean.

Le Cénacle libanais (1946-1984) : une tribune pour une libanologie inscrite dans son espace arabe et méditerranéen / The Lebanese Cenacle (1946-1984) : a tribune for a lebanology in its arab and mediterranean framework

Élias, Amin 08 November 2013 (has links)
Fondé en 1946 par l’homme de Lettres Michel Asmar, le Cénacle libanais, tribune, centre de réflexion, forum de rencontres, d’échanges et maison d’éditions représente entre les années 1946 et 1984 un excellent cas d’étude pour décrire la formation culturelle et intellectuelle du Liban en tant qu’identité, que nation, que peuple et qu’Etat. Faisant du Liban son sujet central comme en témoigne le titre adopté pour un grand nombre de conférences organisées entre les années 1946 et 1968 « l’édification de la Maison libanaise », le Cénacle a réussi à se présenter non seulement en tant que l’« expression de la conscience libanaise » mais aussi en tant que centre de réflexion dont le plus grand mérité consiste à créer une « Libanologie » ou une « science du Liban ».« Temple de la pensée » (ma‘bad al-fikr), le Cénacle accueille des intellectuels dont la tâche consiste à préciser les besoins de la société libanaise dans tous les domaines d’une façon scientifique et objective. Reconstruire la « Maison libanaise » veut dire à la fois une construction de l’identité libanaise, de la mythologie libanaise, de la nation libanaise, de l’être libanaise, du peuple libanais, de l’art libanais, de la littérature libanaise et de la poésie libanaise. Autrement dit, c’est une prise de conscience du « soi-libanais », une volonté pour se choisir, pour décider de tracer une histoire propre à soi et ainsi de se dissocier de l’histoire des autres qu’ils soient Ottomans ou Arabes, Français ou Américains. / Established in 1946 by the literature men Michel Asmar, the Lebanese Cenacle, a tribune, a rational centre, forum of meeting, exchange and edition home, it represents between 1946 and 1984 an excellent case study for describing the cultural and intellectual formation of Lebanon as of its identity, nation, people and state. Making of Lebanon a central subject as witness the title adopted by a great number of lecture organized between 1946 and 1968 ‘The edification of the Lebanese House’, the Cenacle have succeeded to present itself not only as “the expression of the Lebanese Conscience” but also as a centre of reflexion where the great value consist of creating a “Libanology” or a “Lebanese science”.“Temple of thought” (ma’bad al-fikr), the Cenacle hosts intellectuals whose task consist of specifying the needs of the Lebanese society in all field by a scientific and objective manner. Rebuilding, the “Lebanese House”, means -at the same time- building the Lebanese identity, the Lebanese myth, the Lebanese nation, the Lebanese human being, the Lebanese people, the Lebanese art, the Lebanese literature, and the Lebanese poetry. Otherwise saying, it is a realization of the “Lebanese-self”, a will for choosing, for deciding to trace a proper history for self, and also to separate itself from others history whether it is Ottoman or Arab, French or American.

From genesis to disintegration : the crisis of the political- religious field in Tripoli, Lebanon (1967-2011) / De la genèse à la désintégration : la crise du champ politico-religieux à Tripoli, Liban (1967-2011)

Gade, Tine 21 April 2015 (has links)
Après l’assassinat de Rafic Hariri le 14 février 2005 et le retrait syrien du Liban (avril 2005), son fils, Sa‘d, essaya de fédérer un public politique mobilisé contre la Syrie, le Hezbollah et l’Iran. Ce travail fait l’hypothèse de l’échec de Sa‘d Hariri de mobiliser dans la durée les différents composantes du champ politique tripolitain. Pourquoi Hariri et le Futur ne réussirent-ils pas à mobiliser le potentiel politique fortement opposé au régime syrien abondant au nord-Liban ? Répondant à cette question, la thèse utilise la notion de John Dewey (1859-1952) d’un public politique, un collectif d’individus réunis dans l’action politique à travers la perception d'avoir des intérêts communs. La thèse commence en 1967 et s’arrête en 2011, avec une postface sur les dynamiques après 2011. Elle se divise en trois parties. La première analyse la vague de mobilisation à Tripoli entre 1967 et 1985. La deuxième partie étudie la déstructuration du sunnisme politique et l’essor du salafisme durant la Pax Syriana entre 1985 et 2005. La troisième partie se penche sur la tentative de Sa‘d Hariri de créer un public politique, ainsi sur que la compétition qu’ont représentée les salafistes à son leadership, après 2005. La thèse vise à montrer que le projet politique de Sa‘d Hariri était susceptible d’échouer, en raison de trois obstacles structurels. Premièrement, les obstacles bureaucratiques syriens ou la gouvernementalité syrienne du sunnisme à Tripoli. Deuxièmement, l’essoufflement du nationalisme arabe après le milieu des années 1980 et le fait que les leaders sunnites manquent souvent d’une cause militante, pour laquelle leurs partisans seraient disposés à risquer leur vie. Troisièmement, la présence du Salafisme comme un contre-public transnational et religieux. / After the assassination of Rafiq Hariri (14 February 2005) and the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon (April 2005), Hariri’s son, Sa‘d, attempted to federate a national Sunni political public mobilised against Syria, Hizbullah, and Iran. The study argues that Hariri failed to mobilize the different components of Tripoli’s political field over time. Why were Hariri and Future not successful in mobilising the anti-Syrian potential in North Lebanon? Attempting to answer this question, the study uses the notion of a political public elaborated by John Dewey (1859-1952). A public is a collective of individuals united in political action through a perception of common interests. The dissertation begins in 1967 and ends in 2011, with a Post-Script on the dynamics after 2011. It is divided in three parts. The first analyses the local dynamics in Tripoli between 1967 and 1985. The second part dissects the decomposition of Tripoli’s political field and the rise of Salafism during the period of pax syriana in Tripoli (1985-2005). The third part investigates Hariri’s attempt to create a political public and the competition from Tripoli’s Salafis, after 2005. The main argument is that three types of obstacles made Hariri’s public very likely to fail. The first was the Syrian bureaucratic obstacles, in other words, Syrian prior governmentality of Sunnism in Tripoli in the 1976-2005 period. The second obstacle was Arab nationalism’s loss of impetus after the mid-1980s and the fact that Sunni leaders often lacked a militant cause, for which followers were willing to risk their lives. The third obstacle was the presence of Salafism as a transnational, religious counter-public.

Pelos caminhos de São Paulo: a trajetória dos sírios e libaneses na cidade / Through the paths of São Paulo: Syrian and Lebanese trajectory in the city

Khouri, Juliana Mouawad 14 November 2013 (has links)
Este estudo trata da mobilidade dos imigrantes sírios, libaneses e descendentes pela cidade de São Paulo. Ao chegarem ao município, a partir do final do século XIX, eles se dirigiram para a rua 25 de Março e adjacências, onde, a princípio, moravam e trabalhavam. À medida que progrediam e com a entrada de mais imigrantes da etnia, iniciou-se uma dispersão para outras áreas da cidade, o que não significou uma saída da 25 de Março e entorno. Esse movimento ocorreu, principalmente, em direção aos bairros do Paraíso, Vila Mariana, Brás e Ipiranga. Para compreender esta dinâmica, fundamentou-se a análise na história de São Paulo e da imigração síria e libanesa, nos conceitos de identidade, cotidiano, memória e no estudo do constante processo de mudanças e permanências ocorridas. Além da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, realizou-se uma pesquisa participativa que incluiu o levantamento do comércio e das instituições culturais na área da 25 de Março e do Brás; das residências da família Jafet, no Ipiranga; e dos equipamentos culturais, no Paraíso e Vila Mariana. Também foram feitas dezessete entrevistas de história oral temática. A perspectiva de análise utilizada e a realização de uma ampla pesquisa de campo deram uma característica inovadora ao estudo e permitiram a compreensão dos caminhos trilhados pela etnia em São Paulo. / This study deals with the Lebanese, Syrian and descendants mobility through São Paulo city. When they arrived in the town, since the ending of XIX century, they went to rua 25 de Março and adjacencies, where, at first, they lived and worked. As they progressed and with more immigrants entrance, a dispersion to others areas of the city began, what doesnt mean an exit of 25 de Março and vicinity. This movement took place, mainly, in direction to Paraíso, Vila Mariana, Brás and Ipiranga districts. In order to understand this dynamics, the analysis was embased in São Paulo and Syrian and Lebanese immigration history, in identity, quotidian, memory concepts and in the study of the continuous changes and permanences process. Besides the bibliographical and documental survey, a participative research was done, which included an inventory of the commerce and cultural institutions in 25 de Março and Brás areas, of the Jafets family residences in Ipiranga and of the cultural establishments in Paraíso and Vila Mariana. There were also done seventeen interviews of thematic oral history. The analysis point of view and the large research that was done gave an innovating feature to this study and lead to a comprehension of the walked path by the ethnic group in São Paulo.

Entre o Líbano e o Brasil: dinâmica migratória e história oral de vida / Between the Lebanon and Brazil: migratory dynamics and oral history

Osman, Samira Adel 19 April 2007 (has links)
Essa pesquisa tem como tema central a História Oral de Vida de imigrantes libaneses e seus descendentes nascidos no Brasil, bem como de brasileiras não-descendentes, que empreenderam o retorno ao Líbano, cujo fluxo foi verificado com maior intensidade ao final da década de 1980. A problemática geral dessa pesquisa é verificar e analisar a concretização do retorno, a partir da análise dos fenômenos de readaptação e adaptação, reinserção e inserção, destacando-se as dificuldades, os dilemas e os conflitos decorrentes desse ato. Mais do que a ocupação de um espaço geográfico, devemos considerar que o retorno e restabelecimento nos vilarejos de origem significam uma apropriação (ou criação) cultural do lugar (aqui entendido em sua dimensão subjetiva), construindo-se sentimentos de identidade, de pertencimento ao grupo que, por meio de suas ações, controlam e influenciam pessoas, estabelecem relações, determinam valores e normas a serem seguidas. Considerando identidade e cultura como processos dinâmicos, em constante elaboração e reelaboração, há que se verificar que a reinserção e inserção ao país implicarão renúncias, escolhas e seleções, que serão negociadas pelo migrante em relação ao grupo de origem. / This research has as central subject the Oral History of Lebanese immigrants and their descendants borned in Brazil, as well as of Brazilians not-descendants, who had undertaken the return to the Lebanon, whose flow was verified with more intensity to the end of 1980\'s. The general problematic of this research is to verify the achievement of the return, from the analysis of the phenomena of readjustment and adaptation, (re) insertion and insertion, in order to distinguish the difficulties, the dilemmas and the decurrent conflicts of this act. More than the occupation of a geographic space, we must consider that the return and reestablishment in the villages of origin mean a cultural appropriation (or creation) of the place (understood here in its subjective dimension), constructing identity feelings, belonging to the group that, by of its action, controls and influences people, establishes relations, determines values and norms to be followed. Considering identity and culture as dynamic processes, in constant elaboration and rework, it is important to verify that the (re) insertion and insertion to the country will imply resignations, choices and elections, that will be negotiated by the migrant in relation to the group of origin.
