Fondée sur l’idée que l’image constitue un enjeu fondamental pour la justice, comme en témoigne l’ensemble des représentations iconographiques, des symboles et des rituels dont l’institution judiciaire s’entoure, cette étude en histoire du droit s’intéresse au discours véhiculé par les gravures des journaux d’informations illustrés de la Troisième République sur le droit et la justice. Dans une approche interdisciplinaire, empruntant à l’histoire des représentations collectives, à la sociologie et à l’histoire du droit, elle interroge le rapport entre les gravures des journaux illustrés et les réalités judiciaires de la fin du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. Elle pose également la question de la réception de ces images dans l’opinion publique et de son influence sur le processus judiciaire et législatif. Ce travail de recherche s’appuie sur l’analyse sémiologique et contextuelle des illustrations et sur leur confrontation avec des sources judiciaires, doctrinales et législatives. Il met en évidence la dimension argumentative et idéologique des images de presse ainsi que leur pouvoir sur l’opinion publique, les tribunaux et le législateur. De manière plus générale, cette thèse entend montrer que l’étude des représentations iconographiques, même officieuses, de la justice enrichit la connaissance de l’histoire du droit et de la justice. / Based on the idea that images play a fundamental role for justice, as shown by all the iconographic representations, the symbols and the rituals used by the judiciary institution, this study in history of law focuses on the discourse conveyed by the prints of the illustrated newspapers of the Third Republic about law and justice. In an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing from the history of collective representations, from sociology and from the history of law, it questions the connection between the prints of the illustrated newspapers and the judiciary realities of the end of the 19th century and of the beginning of the 20th century.It also raises the question of the reception of these images among the general public and its influence on the judiciary and legislative process. It brings into light the argumentative and ideological dimension of press images as well as their power on the public opinion, on courts and on the legislator. More generally, this thesis aims to demonstrate that the study of iconographic representations of justice, even unofficial, enriches the knowledge of the history of law and justice.

M.Tech. (Homoeopathy) / Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) are interventions that are used in place of or alongside conventional medication; it has been described as “complementing mainstream medicine by contributing to the common whole” (Ernst, 2000). The use of CAM is on the increase worldwide, with a prevalence of 30% to 50% recorded in industrialized countries in 1998 (Astin et al., 1998). People are increasingly consulting CAM practitioners and are also doing their own research on CAM products as well as self-medicating by purchasing products that are freely available from health shops and pharmacies. Trends seem to emerge in the type of people who seek out these modalities and people who do use CAM modalities seem to have favourable results. This study was formulated to give insight into the perceptions of CAM users in Cape Town regarding CAM use. The information obtained can be used to get a better understanding about CAM users themselves and their attitudes toward CAM in order for better education of the public on CAM and marketing of CAM professions in the future. Worldwide studies have been done on the prevalence of CAM use, and in South Africa, only one done so far in Chatsworth (Durban)(Singh et al., 2004). In South Africa, the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPCSA) registers and regulates 11 CAM professions, namely Homeopathy, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chiropractic, Naturopathy, Osteopathy, Phytotherapy, Therapeutic Aromatherapy, Therapeutic Massage, Therapeutic Reflexology and Unani-Tibb. Even though the practitioners are regulated, some CAM products are freely available in retail outlets. The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes towards Complementary and Alternative Medicine by users in Cape Town, evaluated by means of a survey. This study was conducted by means of a survey; 200 questionnaires were distributed to 10 different health shops in Cape Town. Participants completed the questionnaires privately on the premises and handed them to the staff at the health shops.Completed questionnaires were placed in sealed envelopes and collected by the researcher on completion of the study. Out of the 200 questionnaires that were distributed, 183 were completed and results were analyzed by STATKON.
