Distopia : the utopia of dissidence and cultural pluralism in three generations of Dutch artists

Kruger, Runette January 2017 (has links)
This study develops a utopia, named distopia, positioned as a utopia of dissidence and cultural pluralism, also described as difference. The term distopia is a neologism formulated to invoke productive elements of utopia (such as a vision for an improved sociocultural sphere), with aspects of dystopia (namely, scepticism regarding the prevalent), whilst evading the potential naiveté of utopia as well as the hopeless resignation that dystopia can encourage. The term also denotes the political expedience of dissent. Utopia is analysed in terms of its form, content, or function, and according to its underlying sociocultural dynamic, which is, in turn, determined by intersecting permutations of space and time. This study furthermore categorises utopias as either representative of the same (that is, of the institutional, political, discursive, ideological and sociocultural status quo), or of the other. The other is defined here as an agent marginalised along the vectors of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Distopia is, accordingly, a dissenting utopia of the other, formulated to address, in particular, sociocultural exclusion and human rights violations linked to the parallel projects of neocolonial exploitation and of destabilising globalisation practices driven by neoliberal ideology. The utopias of three Dutch visual artists, namely Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005), and Jonas Staal (b. 1981) in collaboration with Moussa Ag Assarid (b. c.1975), are critiqued through the lens of distopia. This is done in order to assess the status of productive difference and engagement with the other in their respective utopias, created over the course of a century. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Visual Arts / PhD / Unrestricted

Analyse de discours de la construction du savoir infirmier au Québec, 1898-1970.

Nazon, Evy A. January 2017 (has links)
À l’instar de nombreuses disciplines, les sciences infirmières ont dû élaborer un savoir qui leur était propre. Ce savoir décrit comme étant un savoir « scientifique » a inspiré nombre d’historiens dans leurs analyses. Adoptant une approche « traditionnelle », plusieurs associent la construction du savoir infirmier à l’esprit d’entreprise, aux luttes et à la volonté des pionnières d’obtenir la reconnaissance légale de la profession. Des analyses multiples ayant recours à l’histoire sociale, à l’histoire des idées, à l’histoire des mentalités, à l’histoire des femmes, etc. ont ainsi vu le jour et ont fourni une interprétation où la prépondérance et le rôle de ces femmes dans l’évolution et les progrès réalisés au sein de la profession infirmière étaient indéniables. À ce jour, peu de recherches historiques se sont éloignées de ces approches. La présente recherche, loin d’embrasser de telles perspectives, décrit plutôt la construction des savoirs infirmiers sous l’angle de concepts puisés dans les propositions critiques suggérées par Michel Foucault. À cet effet, la généalogie et l’analyse de discours de Michel Foucault qui nous ont inspiré pour cette étude convenaient tout à fait aux objectifs de ce projet. De nombreux documents d’archives des Sœurs Grises de Montréal, des Religieuses Hospitalières de Saint-Joseph (Montréal et Bathurst), de l’Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec, de l’Archevêché de Montréal, de la Ville de Montréal pour ne citer que ceux-là ont été consultés et analysés. Les données recueillies ont permis de mettre en lumière les dispositifs discursifs et non-discursifs qui ont contribué à la valorisation et la validation des discours dans la construction du savoir scientifique infirmier. De plus, l’organisation et la médicalisation de l’hôpital, l’apparition de la médecine sociale et des pratiques hygiéniques ont également mis en exergue l’importance d’organiser des écoles de formation pour les infirmières. Ces écoles reconnues pour fournir une formation établie sur des programmes de cours formels et structurés ont permis aux infirmières d’acquérir un savoir reconnu comme « scientifique ». Cette formation scientifique a permis aux infirmières d’avoir une crédibilité dans le milieu de la santé, d’agir efficacement au sein de l’appareil administratif et d’avoir un pouvoir sur les individus et la population. L’expertise des infirmières et leur rôle auprès de la population leur ont offert la possibilité de conduire la conduite des individus et de participer à la normalisation et au gouvernement des populations.

The North Korean Security State: Examining the North Korean Population through Michel Foucault's Theories of Discipline and Punishment

Sanders, Christopher Sun 21 January 2011 (has links)
This thesis uses ideas found in Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish and related works as a theoretic framework for examining daily life in North Korea to understand what type of disciplinary techniques North Korean citizens are subjected to by the North Korean state. This paper will define several disciplinary strategies discussed by Foucault and then show how these strategies are deployed against the North Korean population through multiple examples. Analysis will demonstrate that these disciplinary strategies prevent political instability and suppress ideas dangerous to the North Korean regime, even while the North Korean regime fails to provide basic services for its population. As a result, the reader will have a better understanding of why the North Korean people seem so disciplined and do not rebel against the North Korean regime in the face of state-made disasters and hardships. / Master of Arts

Barns delaktighet och inflytande i förskolan / Children’s participation and influence in preschools

Nilsson, Emmie January 2022 (has links)
Detta arbete utgår från en kvalitativ intervjustudie med förskollärare runt om i Sverige, med syfte att undersöka deras erfarenheter av och tankar kring barns delaktighet och inflytande i förskolan. Detta är ett väl omdiskuterat ämne som ofta kan upplevas svårt att arbeta med rent praktiskt i verksamheterna. I denna studie används Michel Foucaults tankar om makt som teoretisk utgångspunkt för att försöka analysera förskollärarnas svar och synliggöra både medvetna och omedvetna maktförhållanden som döljer sig i förskollärarnas uttalanden. Resultatet i studien visar att makten, i olika former, är något som ständigt är närvarande och något som både begränsar och möjliggör barns delaktighet och inflytande i verksamheterna. Det visar sig även att det finns en viss medvetenhet hos förskollärarna kring vilka maktförhållanden som råder, men också att det finns många situationer då dessa förhållanden går obemärkt förbi och inte reflekteras över.

Genealogy as a Practice of Freedom: Foucault's Historical Critique

Goodwin, Michael 10 1900 (has links)
<p>Michel Foucault's philosophy took the form of a series of historicallygrounded "genealogical" studies of the interconnections between knowledge and various social practices in contemporary society. This work is a reading of "the good11-to use Charles Taylor's term-in Foucault's genealogies.</p> <p> According to the American social-historian David Rothman, "history is a liberating discipline for it reminds us that there is nothing inevitable about the institutions and procedures that surround us. In developing my reading of "the good" in Foucault's genealogies I have endeavoured to translate the spirit of this claim into the proposition that Foucault's genealogies were an expression of his desire to increase human freedom through historical critique; i.e., that Foucault's ethics were embodied in his philosophy which constitutes "a practice of freedom".</p> / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

The Social Sacrifices of Being Modern

Eaker, Lisa 10 March 2003 (has links)
Finding conceptual tools that lend themselves to the creation of consensus is no easier in an age of mass communication, mass transportation or mass education, than it was in earlier less "modern," technology adventurous, times. In fact, as I argue in this dissertation, modernity can be analyzed and experienced as being anathema to those characteristics upon which consensus can be built. This dissertation examines why this is the case and what may be done to ameliorate the worst excesses of modernity while building on its greatest strengths. / Ph. D.
