The mapped area, which includes the eastern part of the Richmond and the western part of the Naomi peak quadrangles, Utah-Idaho, is located in the central part of northern Utah and southeastern Idaho. It is located along the eastern side of Cache Valley and western side of the Bear River Range. Cache Valley is in the Basin and Range province and the Bear River Range is in the Middle Rocky Mountain province. The mapped area is about 8.6 miles long, in the north-south direction, and 7.8 miles long, in the east-west direction. The Mutual Formation of Precambrian age is the oldest stratigraphic unit exposed in the mapped area. It consists of purple and brown quartzite. The Brigham Formation of Early Cambrian age and the Langston Formation of Middle Cambrian age overlie the Mutual in stratigraphic succession. The Salt Lake Formation of Tertiary age unconformably overlies older rocks; it is also faulted against the Mutual Formation. A major landslide of Precambrian, Cambrian, and Ordovician formations is present in the southern part of the mapped area. It is unconformably overlapped by the Salt Lake Formation. The Lake Bonneville Group of late Pleistocene age is present in Cache Valley and overlaps older rocks along the western side of the Bear River Range. The Precambrian and Cambrian stratigraphic units, except for those of the landslide, dip eastward and form the western flank of the Logan Peak syncline. A small disharmonic asymmetrical anticline, in the Langston and Ute Formations of Cambrian age, indicates eastward movement. Two beddingplane faults locally eliminate the basal Naomi Peak Limestone Member of the Langston Formation. A major normal fault, which is nearly vertical, extends along the base of the Bear River Range. Another normal fault, which is probably nearly vertical, parallels the western edge of the foothills. The folding and bedding-plane thrust faulting involve eastward movement and occurred during the Sevier orogeny. This orogeny began during late Jurassic time and extended into the early part of the Tertiary Period. Basin and Range normal faulting began early in the Tertiary Period. The normal faults produced great relief between Cache Valley and the Bear River Range. The landslide surface is thought to have formed as a west-dipping thrust fault. Reversed movement on this fault, due to removal of support on the valley side, produced the major landslide. (58 pages)

A análise aborda a linguagem poética como via de integração cultural entre a memória histórica coletiva e individual, no que se refere à intersecção da rememoração e ressignificação identitária representada entre o Mesmo e o Diverso, como comenta Edouard Glissant. O trabalho, assim, argumenta a relação do referente simbólico da tradição cultural cristalizada pelos projetos globais e a luta constante das narrativas locais na negociação do estado representativo do sujeito intersticial. A produção literária de Naomi Shihab Nye guia o leitor para um estado de contemplação semiótica dos signos construídos pela tradição. A mesma tradição responsável pelas concepções de “Oriente” e “Ocidente”. Os argumentos de Edward Said sobre o Orientalismo também foram usados para analisar a dicotomia “árabe”/ “americano”. O trabalho poético de Nye aponta para uma renovação do ponto de vista do leitor apresentando uma forma diferente de espiritualidade. Permitindo ao leitor acessar o seu repertório de signos culturais em direção à ressignificação. Os comentários de Mary Louise Pratt e Walter Mignolo, a cerca da noção de “transculturação” de Fernando Ortiz, nos impulsionam a ver a relação íntima entre logos, cogito e ethos em direção a corpos e espíritos humanos. A análise de Homi Bhabha sobre o terceiro espaço e a concepção de Pratt das “zonas de contato” coloca a poesia de Nye em posição de constate movimento cultural: nem “árabe”, nem “americano”: humano. Os comentários de Stuart Hall e Walter Mignolo sobre as relações transnacionais na condição da pós-colonialidade do poder mostrou-nos a diferença entre os olhares polarizado e intersticial. Ainda, Luiz Cota Lima e Theodore W. Adorno são os pontos referenciais sobre as teorias a cerca da mímesis da representação real e imaginária. Nossa abordagem entende a concepção de linguagem e estrutura social que foram observadas nos trabalhos de Naomi Shihab Nye como fundamentais na interação humana com a natureza.

À travers le rapport au territoire qu’elles convoquent, les œuvres poétiques des Premières Nations nous invitent à repenser les fondements des sociétés américaines, québécoise dans notre cas, à partir de la perspective autochtone. En effet, la poésie amérindienne requiert une double compétence pour le lecteur québécois : d’une part, les œuvres de ce corpus lui font connaître des sensibilités qui s’enracinent dans l’histoire millénaire de l’Amérique, dont fait malheureusement partie l’expérience du colonialisme subie par les Premières Nations; d’autre part, s’accroît au fil des pages l’impression que ces textes convoquent une vision du monde, celle des premiers occupants du continent, qui renvoient aux non-dits qui grèvent sa propre culture, sa propre histoire. En s’appuyant sur le croisement entre les notions d’américanité, telle qu’entendue par René Lapierre dans son essai Écrire l’Amérique (1995), d’américité, développée par l’historien wendat Georges Sioui, et d’américanité première, selon Louis-Edmond Hamelin, cette thèse s’intéresse aux formes de territorialité que convoque le continent américain à partir d’une perspective amérindienne. Le postulat sur lequel se règle le présent travail est qu’une réflexion sur la territorialité québécoise, fondatrice de notre identité, ne peut faire l’économie de l’expérience autochtone. L’analyse du corpus poétique des Premières Nations, depuis la publication du premier recueil de poésie francophone (Andatha [1985] d’Éléonore Sioui) jusqu’aux parutions les plus récentes, révèle que les territorialités mises en forme par les poètes obligent le lecteur à revoir sa conception de l’histoire de l’Amérique en tant que « Nouveau Monde ». La richesse du patrimoine oral autochtone, très influente sur la production littéraire actuelle, montre bien le problème qui se pose lorsque l’on réduit l’Amérique à son histoire « européenne ». Pour retrouver la réalité historique et géographique que le concept de « Nouveau Monde » a pu effacer, il importe de comprendre ce qu’est le territoire et ce qu’il représente, sur le plan de la mémoire comme sur celui de l’expérience américaine contemporaine. Et c’est exactement là que se trouve toute la pertinence des œuvres des poètes amérindiens étudiées dans cette thèse. Ces derniers, en revendiquant une appartenance à une culture millénaire, révoquent d’emblée le concept de « Nouveau Monde ». Ils nous donnent à lire les traces d’une ancienne Amérique que l’on croyait disparue mais dont l’écho résonne dans les textes d’Éléonore Sioui, de Joséphine Bacon, de Rita Mestokosho, de Naomi Fontaine et de tous les autres. En ce sens, ils convoquent des formes de territorialités inspirantes, qui reconnaissent la fragilité des écosystèmes et l’importance des liens qui s’établissent entre tous les êtres vivants qui en dépendent.

Le livre de Ruth conte un récit qu’il situe dès son premier verset à l’époque des Juges. Sa place dans le canon biblique hébraïque, qui le positionne dans le sous-groupe des Écrits (Ketuvim), ainsi que certains traits de la langue utilisée, ont pu faire penser à une rédaction postexilique tardive. L’objectif de ce travail de recherche est d’étudier la formation et l’évolution du rouleau de Ruth et ainsi, ses messages à caractère politique et les mœurs qu’il a su décrire. Le modèle qui se dégage de cette étude montre une formation et une évolution complexes, en plusieurs strates de rédactions, et avec plusieurs auteurs. Par sa taille assez courte, le livre de Ruth permet de faire cette analyse dans des conditions de laboratoire. On peut y observer des styles de langue distants entre eux de plusieurs siècles, avec des tournures caractéristiques d’une langue paléo-hébraïque jouxtant des expressions influencées par l’araméen, des incohérences logiques dans le texte, et enfin des réminiscences d’un culte polythéiste. De cette façon, ce travail nous fait faire un voyage à travers le temps qui débute par une histoire populaire, celle d’une moabite en terre de Judée, datant vraisemblablement du début de la royauté vers l’an -1000 avant notre ère. Ce voyage fait ensuite une halte vers les septième ou sixième siècles avec une première mise par écrit. Il se conclut finalement au cinquième ou quatrième siècle, après le retour de l’exil de Babylone, période où la version du livre de Ruth que nous possédons actuellement avec le texte massorétique est probablement rédigée. / According to the initial verse of the Book of Ruth, the story takes place during the period of the Judges. However, its place in the Hebrew Bible canon, where it is revealed in Writings (Ketuvim), as well as linguistic aspects of the text, has led scholars to believe that the book was composed during a late post-exilic period. The purpose of this study is to learn the development of the Book of Ruth and in particular, the political messages and customs of that precise period. Thanks to the conciseness of the story, an analysis in a laboratory-like environment is possible. The model that results from this study displays a very complex textual construction of several layers of writings and multiple authors. In turn, it enables one to observe various language styles scattered over a period of several centuries. Some of the language expressions are characteristic of Paleo-Hebrew and some are influenced by Talmudic Aramaic. There also appear to be logical inconsistencies within the narrative and reminders of a polytheistic cult. This research takes us on a journey through time that begins as a folktale of a Moabite woman in the land of Judea, probably from the turn of Royalty around the year 1000 BC. The journey halts unexpectedly during the seventh or sixth century BC, as its first writings appear during this period. It finally concludes during the fifth or fourth century BC, with the return to Zion from exile in Babylon, a period in which the Masoretic version of the Book of Ruth was likely written.

87 Abstract This master thesis was focused on Validation method, whose author is an American social worker Naomi Feil, who created this as a help with communication with disoriented elderly people. The aim of the thesis was describe Validation, it's theoretical background which was set by The author herself and find out how is this method used in actual work with the disoriented old people in czech care homes. Thesis was divided in to two parts - theoretical and emipirical. In the first part was mainly concentrated on explaining the method itself. It's principles, reasons for origin, Validation techniques and use of Validation in czech environment. Empirical part was focused on finding out how practical usage of Validation looks like. To find out I used questionnaire that was send to care homes, where the employees finished some Validation training which was also criterion for choosing these respondents. From these results of the research I can say that the theoretical basis created by Naomi Feil is mostly not used in czech care homes. According to the questionnaires most employees of the care homes accepted the principles of Validation mostly it's empatiic communication. As is indicated in discussion, in my opinion it's more important to accept the principles of the method then mastery of the theoretical...
