[ES] La realización del presente trabajo de investigación tiene como finalidad establecer la relación entre el arte y la vida a partir del proceso creativo del intérprete clarinetista en torno al concepto live art, lo cual conduce a la redimensión del mismo. Teniendo presente que todo proceso creativo toma en gran medida parte de las experiencias de vida, se entreteje un diálogo entre los elementos de la vida, entre lo objetivo y lo subjetivo, en donde se pretende profundizar en el vínculo de la vida y el arte, desde el propio proceso creativo en conexión con la vida, tomando como punto de referencia el concepto live art. Con base en ello se desarrollan una serie de obras de carácter performativo para clarinete vinculadas a dicho concepto. En este proceso de investigación-creación se establece el estudio del concepto live art a partir de sus antecedentes performance, happening y fluxus, poniendo en relieve los aspectos relevantes que giran en torno a la vida, en donde la acción es el componente esencial que conecta el acto artístico y la vida, en un arte que se introduce en la cotidianidad, cuyas fronteras son difusas y los limites creativos no existen, generando obras de carácter heterogéneo difíciles de clasificar dentro de una práctica creativa definida. De ahí la utilización del concepto live art, el cual emerge en nuestra actualidad para abrigar los procesos creativos híbridos que no encajan en las denominaciones artísticas tradicionales, el cual ha sido adoptado aquí desde su estudio, como base para la realización de las acciones poéticas sonoras, obras para clarinete que unen la propia experiencia creativa con la vida, lo que conduce a una nueva dimensión de dicho concepto. Así, como resultado de este trabajo de investigación el arte, la vida y la acción, se complementan para la elaboración de las acciones poéticas sonoras, experiencia creativa de la clarinetista, autora de esta tesis, en un proceso creativo heterogéneo que conecta la propia experiencia tanto del arte como de la vida. / [CA] La realització del present treball de recerca té com a finalitat establir la relació entre l'art i la vida a partir del procés creatiu de l'intèrpret clarinetista entorn del concepte live art, la qual cosa condueix a la redimensió d'aquest. Tenint present que tot procés creatiu pren en una gran mesura part de les experiències de vida, s'entretix un diàleg entre els elements de la vida, entre allò objectiu i allò subjectiu, on es pretén aprofundir en el vincle de la vida i l'art, des del propi procés creatiu en connexió amb la vida, prenent com a punt de referència el concepte live art. Amb base en això es desenvolupen una sèrie d'obres de caràcter performatiu per a clarinet vinculades a aquest concepte. En aquest procés d'investigació-creació s'estableix l'estudi del concepte live art a partir dels seus antecedents performance, happening i fluxus, posant de relleu els aspectes rellevants que giren entorn a la vida, on l'acció és el component essencial que connecta l'acte artístic i la vida, en un art que s'introdueix en la quotidianitat, les fronteres de la qual són difuses i els límits creatius no existeixen, generant obres de caràcter heterogeni difícils de classificar dins d'una pràctica creativa definida. D'ací la utilització del concepte live art, el qual emergeix en la nostra actualitat per a acollir els processos creatius híbrids que no encaixen en les denominacions artístiques tradicionals, el qual ha sigut adoptat ací des del seu estudi, com a base per a la realització de les accions poètiques sonores, obres per a clarinet que uneixen la pròpia experiència creativa amb la vida, la qual cosa condueix a una nova dimensió d'aquest concepte. Així, com a resultat d'aquest treball de recerca l'art, la vida i l'acció, es complementen per a l'elaboració de les accions poètiques sonores, experiència creativa de la clarinetista, autora d'aquesta tesi, en un procés creatiu heterogeni que connecta la pròpia experiència tant de l'art com de la vida. / [EN] The purpose of this research is to establish the relationship between art and life from the creative process of the clarinetist interpreter around the concept of live art, which leads to a new dimension of live art. Bearing in mind that every creative process takes largely from life experiences, a dialogue is woven between the elements of life, between the objective and the subjective, where it is intended to deepen the link between life and art, from the creative process itself in connection with life, taking as a reference point the concept of live art. Based on this, a series of performative works for clarinet linked to this concept are developed. In this research-creation process, the study of the live art concept is established from its antecedents performance, happening and fluxus, highlighting the relevant aspects that revolve around life, where action is the essential component that connects the artistic act and life, in an art that is introduced into everyday life, whose boundaries are blurred and creative limits do not exist, generating works of heterogeneous character difficult to classify within a defined creative practice. Hence the use of the concept of live art, which emerges nowadays to shelter the hybrid creative processes that do not fit in the traditional artistic denominations, which has been adopted here, as a basis for the realization of the poetic sound actions, works for clarinet that unite the creative experience with life, which leads to a new dimension of this concept. Thus, art, life, action, complement each other for the elaboration of poetic sound actions, creative experience of the clarinetist, author of this thesis, in a heterogeneous creative process that connects the experience of both art and life. / Rodriguez Chavez, AA.

‘A da’wah movement in Mauritius: A study of the Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen’ is based on qualitative research and its objective is to examine the socio-cultural factors that may hinder the processes of da’wah in Mauritius. The study is placed in the context of a well-known national Islamic organisation, the Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen whose founder is Mr. Muhammad Cehl Fakeemeeah, a Member of the National Parliament. The movement is also associated with a political party, the FSM (Front Solidarité Mauricien) or the Mauritian Solidarity Front. The Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen seeks to propose an alternative da’wah program in order to promote understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims and to accelerate the progression of conversion in Mauritius. The movement is involved in politics and mass media in order to reach the maximum number of people in the island. Emphasis is put on the urgent need for each individual to understand the concept of God as well as reading the Qur’an in order to avoid falling into the traps of traditional da’wah which has prevailed in Mauritius for decades.The present thesis analyses data provided in face to face interviews with a number of Mauritian converts as well as observation and discussions with other born Muslim members, all adherents of the said organisation. The Mauritian society is well-known for its multi-religious and multi-cultural background, influenced mainly by the majority, the Hindu community which consists of more than 50 % of the whole population. According to Soonita Kistamah 1, the percentage of Muslims is only 17, 3 % of the whole Mauritian population and this demonstrates a large gap concerning the work of da’wah in the island. Therefore the thesis will investigate factors that hinder da’wah by focusing on one particular movement – the Jamaat Ul Muslimeen. After having scanned the available literature, no specific study on da’wah in Mauritius was found. There is therefore a gap in the knowledge of da’wah especially issues such as socio-cultural factors that may affect da’wah progression within the Mauritian context. This thesis is a contribution to filling this gap. Since the thesis wishes to understand the socio-cultural factors which hinder the progress of da‘wah in Mauritius a qualitative approach was deemed most appropriate to explore this issue. The thesis begins providing my motivation for writing on the topic of da‘wah, a statement of the problem, research objectives, significance of the study, and the theory and methodology applied. Chapter II provides an overview of Mauritius and its history. Emphasis is given to the events of the 12th March 1968, that is, the civil war which occurred between Christians and Muslims which led to ethnic tensions. Another communal crisis which occurred in February1999 between Black Creole and the Hindu community is also examined. Chapter III will provide a biography of Cehl Meeah, the founder of Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen, his broader religious and political outlook and the history and da‘wah methodology of his organization. Chapter IV examines this methodology in the light of certain theoretical considerations with regard to da‘wah. Chapter V discusses and interprets the results and findings that emerge from interviews and discussions with converts belonging to the Jamaat-Ul-Muslimeen. Chapter VI concludes the dissertation and lists recommendations with regard to da‘wah methodology in Mauritius. / Religious Studies & Arabic / M.A. (Islamic Studies)

This study investigates the healing experience that current practicing art therapists’ have had with art prior to their training, and how that experience influenced their decision to peruse a career in art therapy. Narrative inquiry was the primary methodology in the current study. Six current practicing art therapists, all females who currently reside in the area of Victoria BC, participated in the process of co-constructing their 1st person narratives with the primary researcher. The six stages of Braun & Clarke's (2006) Thematic Analysis was used as the guiding framework developing themes across the stories told. Themes and the implications that came out of these narratives with respect to future research and counseling practice are also discussed.

Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Practical research has shown that children with learning disabilities often experience psychosocial problems. These problems not only have an influence on the parent-child relationship, but also impact negatively on the psychological development of the child. The objective of this study is to explore these psychosocial problems by investigating the personal experiences of the learning disabled child within his immediate family. The literature study on learning disabilities shows that it is a complex condition that not only manifests in learning problems, but which can also adversely affect the child in totality. The Relation theory, an educational psychological perspective, functions as a theoretical framework for exploration, and is discussed with reference to psychosocial problems of the learning disabled child. In the empirical study, the researcher has primarily employed projection techniques to investigate the child's experiences of himself and his relationships with family members, from his internal frame of reference. From these findings, recommendations are proposed for psychotherapy. / Uit die praktyk blyk dit dat leergestremdheid by kinders dikwels met psigososiale probleme gepaard gaan. Nie alleen beinvloed hlerdie problema die ouer~kindverhouding nie, maar dit het ook 'n negatiewe invloed op die psigiese ontwikkeling van die kind. Die doel van die studie is om die persoonlike belewenisse van die leergestremde kind binne die gesin te verken. Die meratuurstudie wat oor die verskynsel van leergestremdheid gedoen is, het getoon dat dit 'n kompleksa toestand is wat nie aileen met leerprobleme gepaard gaan nie, maar ook die kind in sy totallteit nadelig bei'nvloed. Die Relasieteorie, 'n opvoedkundig-sielkundige perspektief, wat as teoretiese raamwerk vir verkenning dien, is bespreek en waar toepaslik is na die psigososiale problema van die leergestremde kind verwys. In die empiriese ondersoek is hoofsaaklik van projeksietegnieke gebruik gemaak om vanuit die leergestremde kind se interne verwysingsraamwerk sy persepsies en belewenisse ten opsigte van homself en sy verhoud!ngs in die gesin te verken. Na aanleiding hiervan is aanbevelings vir terapeutiese hulpverlening gemaak. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Specialisation in Guidance and Counseling)
