La présente thèse a pour objectif d'étudier l'ensemble des artistes féminins qui ont exercé au sein de la manufacture de Sèvres entre 1850 et 1900. Cette période correspond à un moment clef de l'histoire de cette institution tant du point de vue administratif qu'artistique car elle marque une ère nouvelle avec l'apparition d'un style nouveau.Par ailleurs, les femmes employées à Sèvres sont de plus en plus nombreuses à participer aux expositions et aux salons. Certaines d'entre elles se sont distinguées par leurs talents et par leurs efforts à un moment à la société était, dans son ensemble, peu sensible à la condition féminine. C'est pourquoi cette thèse souhaite également aborder l'étude de quelques œuvres sous cet angle. Du point de vue artistique, l'étude porte une attention particulière à la chronologie des œuvres, à la spécialité, au style et au goût de chaque artiste. En dépit d'une certaine harmonisation d'ensemble qui est perceptible, en raison du lieu de production propre à la manufacture, certaines différences apparaissent.La première partie sera consacrée à la biographie des artistes. Les parcours de formation, leurs origines, leurs conditions de travail et leurs participations aux manifestations artistiques sont analysées. La seconde partie s'attache à étudier les œuvres du point de vue de l'analyse stylistique et de leur portée (notoriété acquise de l'artiste par l'intermédiaire de l'œuvre mais aussi message conscient ou inconscient, direct ou indirect que l'artiste a porté).La troisième partie est constituée d'un catalogue raisonné des œuvres. Il a été établi d'après les registres d'inventaires conservés aux archives de la manufacture de Sèvres. / The following thesis aims at studying all the feminine artists who worked in the Sèvres factory between 1850 and 1900. This period is a turning-point fort this institute on the administrative level as much as on the artistic one, because it represents a new era with the birth of a brend new style.Besides, more and more women working in Sèvres take part in exhibitions and workshops. Some of these women were particularly noted for their skills and their effort, while at this time the whole society was not interested by women condition. That's why this thesis will also throw light on some works with these ideas in mind. From the artistic viewpoint, the study particularly attracts our attention on each artist's specialties, styles and tastes. Despite the obvious global harmonization, due to the place of production of this factory, some differences appear.The first part concerns the artist's biographies. Their studies, their origins, their working conditions, but also their parts in artistic events will be analyzed. The second part will deal with the works from the stylistic analysis point of view and their impact (the fame reached by the artist through the work, but also the conscious or unconscious, direct or indirect message brought by the artist). Finally, the third part represents a descriptive catalogue of the works. It was established with the help of the inventory registers kept in the archives of the Sèvres factory.

This thesis begins with the hypothesis that the role of ideas in urban and global development is understudied and understated in comparison to studies that privilege economic and political analyses. The thesis generates two related models that seek to provide a comprehensive means of analyzing both the political economic constraints of development as well as the ideational limits that are overlooked by conventional models. The political economic model adapts constructivist principles to explain the structural limits on urban development that emerge from the contemporary global political economy. The second model draws on previous work done in the field of policy diffusion to posit four relational ways in which ideas are adapted and localized. The thesis argues that political economy analyses provide a comprehensive but mostly macro-level analysis and often fail to adequately understand individual thinking outside of the rational actor model. The ideational adaptation model corrects for this, providing a detailed micro-level analysis that is founded on the political economic framework. Together, the two models provide a comprehensive understanding of the ideational limits and political economic constraints at work in any given development scenario. In order to demonstrate the utility of the combined models (termed combined conceptual approach), the thesis applies the models to four different applications. Three examples are historical secondary source examples (educational philosophy, international business councils, and water sanitation) related to the history of Shanghai and China, and the impact of foreigners on their development vision, strategies, and practice. One application is a case study of Shanghai’s Expo 2010, which uses original data established through high-level interviews with Expo participants. The use of the combined conceptual approach shows how the interpersonal and inter-institutional adaptation and localization of ideas affect the way we understand the concept of legitimate best practice in urban development. The combined conceptual approach highlights the role that human thought, emotions, and psychology play in urban development. It links political economic activity to constructed bonds of trust, learning, the mentality of competition, and soft forms of coercive power (hegemonic ideas, leadership, and conditionality). Finally, the most important contribution of the combined conceptual approach is that it allows for an analysis of both the macro- and micro-levels of development in a relational and holistic fashion.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009 / O objetivo desta dissertação consiste em investigar o processo de construção da identidade profissional de médicos que se dedicam à assistência a pacientes que apresentam doenças progressivas e ameaçadoras da continuidade existencial e que têm contribuído para o desenvolvimento dos Cuidados Paliativos no Brasil. Buscamos conhecer a trajetória profissional destes médicos desde a escolha da medicina como profissão até o encontro com a filosofia e a prática dos Cuidados Paliativos. Com este intuito, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas,colhidas segundo a metodologia de História Oral de Vida. Foram entrevistados seis médicos de diferentes especialidades que ocupam cargos diretivos em uma das associações profissionais voltadas para a disseminação e legitimação política e social dos Cuidados Paliativos no Brasil. Os depoentes se destacam no cenário nacional no que diz respeito às discussões sobre esta temática e mantêm contato com importantes instituições internacionais. Por esta razão, chamamos o conjunto de entrevistados de elite médica paliativista. Percebemos uma pobre interlocução entre os médicos paliativistas, o que se reflete na ausência de uma identidade integrada desse grupo profissional. Os entrevistados acentuaram as competências humanitárias necessárias ao bom exercício da Medicina Paliativa, mas, no entanto, não foram explicitadas as competências específicas a este campo profissional, que justificariam seu reconhecimento pelas entidades médicas competentes comouma nova área de atuação ou especialidade.
