Although International Relations scholars make frequent reference to the Middle Ages, most of our ideas about the period are not based on extensive empirical studies. Instead, they rely on a common imaginary of Medieval Europe as an unspecified and idealised system of overlapping authority and multiple loyalties. This thesis recovers a historical understanding of the late-medieval international order by focusing on the fundamental conceptions of the organization of the social held by medieval international practitioners. In particular, it examines a specific community of practice: lawyers of the ius commune from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. In doing so, this thesis makes three contributions to the IR literature. From a theoretical point of view, it adds to both English School and constructivist studies of historical international order by focusing on the process of differentiation through representation, as well as on contestation within it. In doing so, it argues for a move from a static understanding of order to the more dynamic notion of ordering. Secondly, it contributes methodologically to the historical study of ideas by proposing a methodological emphasis on communities of practitioners as a middle-ground between abstract constructivism and narrow Skinnerian analysis that facilitates the historically grounded consideration of the ordering role of language and ideas. Finally, empirically, this thesis demonstrates the analytical leverage gained from these theoretical moves by providing a detailed account of the international order from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries, focusing not only on stability, but also on the contentious process of ordering. As a result, this thesis provides a new understanding of late-medieval notions of political authority, community, polity, and identity, while simultaneously highlighting the politics of representation behind them.

Tratou-se de uma pesquisa ação que foi desenvolvida com o apoio de especialistas do Centro de Memória - Unicamp. As relações entre memória compartilhada, resistência política e empoderamento foram abordadas na pesquisa buscando promover debates e gerar contribuições tanto sobre atitudes já concretizadas ou ainda para orientar aquelas que serão tomadas coletivamente, no futuro. A iniciativa de organização de um memorial escolar partiu e está sendo executada por um grupo significativo e representativo da comunidade local, com ação participativa dos pesquisadores/técnicos do CM - Unicamp. Todo o processo de organização do Memorial Padre Carlos se valeu de táticas de resistência ante uma situação indesejada, que pudesse desvirtuar as propostas político-educativas da Escola Profissional Dom Bosco de Poços de Caldas, devido à inserção de membros da Congregação dos Salesianos nas atividades didático ¿ administrativas, após a morte de seus fundadores / Abstract: This project aimed to discuss the political implications during the process of organising a memorial of a school, which resulted in a movement of empowerment of different persons or groups of a particular community. This research was an engaged one, being developed with the assistance of specialists of the Centro de Memória ¿ Unicamp (Center of Memory - Unicamp). The relations between shared memory, resistance and political empowerment, in the research, tried to promote debates and generate contributions on attitudes already implemented and to guide those that will be taken collectively in the future. The initiative to organise a memorial in a school started and is being run by an important and representative group of the local community, with the participation of the researchers/ technicians from CM - Unicamp. The whole process of organising the ¿Memorial Padre Carlos¿ made use of tactics of resistance before an undesirable situation that could distort the political-educational proposals of the Escola Profissional Dom Bosco de Poços de Caldas (Dom Bosco Vocational School - Poços de Caldas) due to the inclusion of members of the Salesian Congregation in didactic - administrative activities, after the decease of its founders / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Doutor em Educação

La République démocratique du Congo vit particulièrement un moment difficile, mais décisif dans son histoire pour ramener la paix, favoriser l’inclusion sociale et garantir la sécurité des peuples qui vivent sur toute l’étendue du pays sans distinction de race, d’origine ethnique, de classe sociale, d’idéologie, de confession religieuse, etc.<p><p>En effet, les rébellions, les guerres ethniques ou tribales, les rivalités et les dissensions inter groupales continuent à affecter la vie politique, économique et sociale de ce pays depuis la période précoloniale en passant par la période coloniale et postcoloniale. Cette préoccupation majeure suscite des interrogations fondamentales :de quelle manière peut-on aujourd’hui ériger un projet politique qui soit à mesure de redéfinir les finalités socio-politiques, cultuelles, et économiques globales qui accordent une meilleure écoute aux productions de sens qui émanent des valeurs théoriques de chaque groupe social, en sublimant ce qui rapproche et non ce qui divise ?Comment dépasser les clivages excluant issus des situations de crise (traite, colonisation, rébellions, guerres, dissensions) ?Comment mettre sur pied un espace commun qui serait le lieu d’échange libre où chacun exprimerait son opinion dans le respect et la dignité de l’autre ?<p><p>C’est à ces questions et à beaucoup d’autres encore que cette thèse tente de répondre. Il s’agit en fait, d’une étude à caractère paradigmatique réalisée dans le groupe Ankutshu-Membele, à la lumière des approches occidentales du pouvoir et de la démocratie. Elle s’assigne comme objectif principal de problématiser la conception du pouvoir à travers la culture et les religions de ce peuple, en vue de tenter d’établir les conditions de possibilités d’intégration de cette société traditionnelle vers une société moderne multiculturelle et démocratique.<p> / Doctorat en Philosophie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

La réflexion est une Contribution à une analyse de la Sacralisation du pouvoir « moderne » et de ses conséquences :le cas Joseph-Désiré Mobutu. Ses motivations sont: l’ambiguïté de ce concept et, la résurgence des formes autoritaires de gouverner en Afrique noire. Cette étude tente de démontrer que la Sacralisation du pouvoir de Mobutu fut un frein au bon fonctionnement des sphères de la vie nationale. Sa première démarche a consisté à clarifier ce concept en le redéfinissant. Pour ce faire, l’étude s’est basée sur une approche holistique,pluridisciplaine, centrée sur 5 disciplines (Anthropologie politique, Droit Constitutionnel, Sociologie, Psychologie-Psychanalyse et Science politique). L’étude a opté comme point d’entrée :les supports de cette sacralisation du pouvoir de Mobutu et ses conséquences, axés sur les manifestations festives nationales ou autres événements importants. Elle a utilisé plusieurs techniques de collectes de données :les entretiens semi-directifs; la littérature secondaire; les journaux et revues; les films et documentaires; afin de répondre à 4 hypothèses de départ. L’analyse de ces données a reposé sur six niveaux. / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
