Le corps est l’élément qui s’impose pour aborder l'oeuvre de Valère Novarina. Certes, l’auteur traite d'autres thèmes (politique, télévision, etc.) mais le corps reste sa préoccupation centrale. L’approche du corps novarinien semble s’inscrire dans des traditions qu’on peut faire remonter à l’antiquité et qu’on peut aussi la rattacher à une certaine modernité (Jarry, Artaud, etc). Valère Novarina met en avant des notions originales. Une animalité présentée de façon positive, la pantinitude de l’acteur et la sainteté paradoxale de Louis de Funès. Le corps bizarre et étranger est très présent dans son oeuvre : un corps surhumain et très humain en même temps. Le côté mystique du corps novarinien nous renvoie à la Bible et aux Ecritures Saintes : il redessine les figures de l’histoire biblique (Adam, Job, Moïse) et la vie de Jésus depuis sa naissance jusqu’à sa résurrection d’une manière très originale. Nous sommes là devant un sujet délicat qui fait débat et qui concerne chacun de nous : la dualité entre le corps et l’âme. Les réflexions sur la finalité du corps novarinien nous ont conduits à découvrir une certaine spécificité du corps de l’acteur : importance du vide, corps-offrande et parenté entre la scène et le sacré. / Body appeared as a crucial element in any approach of Valère Novarina’s work. Certainly, the author is interessed by many other themes –politics, television,etc…– however body remains his central preoccupation. Novarian vision of the body,seems to belong to a traditional perception of it – coming from Antiquity– which could also be linked to a certain modernity –Jarry, Artaud, etc. Valère Novarina highlights creative/ original notions. An animality illustrated through a positive way,the « pantinitude » of the actor and the paradoxical saintliness of Louis de Funès.The strange and unfamiliar body is strongly present in his work : a super human body and at the same time a really human one. The mystical aspect of the Novarian body indicates references to Bible and Holly Scriptures : he draws again historical figures of the Bible (Adam, Job, Moses) and the life of Jesus, from his birth to his ressurrection, through a highly original style/ way. We are here in front of a delicate topic, subject to debate and which concernes each of us : the duality between body and soul. Reflexions on the finality of the Novarian body lead us to discover a certain specificity of the actor body : importance of a vacuum/emptiness, body offerring andkinship/ relationship between scene and sacred.

In the city of Natal/RN, there is a manipulator called Heraldo Lins, an artist who operates such puppets, and has been performing his puppet since 1992. Lins has his own look at how he produces his performances and seeks to adjust his puppets to social and rentable contexts. Lins?s performances are tailor-made in accordance with the request of his customers, as he makes up the passages and lines of his puppets according to his audience. This research aimed to study how the Heraldo Lins Mamulengos Show is built, especially its changes. We note that Lins chooses to dismantle the symbolic values of the tradition in the regular puppet theater once he adapts to modern patterns, placing himself between the traditional puppet theater and the cultural industry. The work in camp was made through a methodological focused in a participative observation and an audiovisual registry / O teatro de mamulengos ? uma das express?es da cultura popular que t?m sua trajet?ria marcada por constru??es e transforma??es tanto em suas representa??es simb?licas como em seus personagens e performances. Na cidade do Natal, RN, existe um mamulengueiro chamado Heraldo Lins que mant?m o seu teatro de mamulengos em atividade h? vinte e um anos, ele possui o seu pr?prio olhar sobre o que produz e como produz, procura ajustar o seu teatro de mamulengos ao contexto social e ao mercado, tematiza as apresenta??es a pedido do contratante, sistematiza a constru??o das passagens e falas dos bonecos. Esta pesquisa procurou estudar o processo de contru??o do "Show de Mamulengos" de Heraldo Lins, sobretudo como ocorrem as transforma??es. Constatamos que ele opta pela dissolvi??o de valores simb?licos presentes no teatro de mamulengos tradicional em prol de uma adapta??o ? modernidade, se colocando entre o treatro tradicional de mamulengos e a ind?strial cultural. O trabalho de campo foi realizado atrav?s de um recorte metodol?gicos que privilegiou a observa??o participante, a entrevista e o registro sonoro-visual

The following work from the field of czech literature for children will be focused on the interpretation of the literaty piece of work by writer Iva Peřinová. The first concentrates on the specifics of the motives and themes, refering to the standard puppet play and fairy-tails model. The second part of the thesis observes the poetics of Peřinova's fairy tails, paying a special attention to her narrative stragies, the way of the construction of the fairy tail characters and to the regularities of the composition. Keywords: Iva Peřinová, puppet play, parody, fairy-tail, ironydivadlo, drama, ironie

TITLE: The Usage of Puppets in ELT of Beginners in the 3rd Grade AUTHOR: Elena Havlíčková DEPARTMENT: The Primary Education Department SUPERVISOR: Mgr. Radmila Svobodová ABSTRACT: The topic of this thesis is the usage of puppets in English lessons of third graders at elementary school. In the theoretical part, there are described the types of puppets, the proper handling of puppets, their roles, various ways of using them in lessons and curricular documents. The practical part is an action research in the third grade. It investigates whether the activities with puppets are possible in a real class. The outcomes of the action research inform that it is suitable to use puppets in English lessons in many different ways, all children cooperated and the majority cooperated very enthusiastically. KEYWORDS: Puppet, learning, teaching, English language, basics, research, realization

This thesis reflects the history and contemporary changes of Czech and Slovak puppetry and presents Czech and Slovak legislative framework preceding the inscription of the element on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity UNESCO. The practical part analyses the process of preparation and implementation of recognition of traditional puppetry as an intangible cultural heritage in the Czech and Slovak Republics and maps the joint efforts of these countries to inscribe the phenomenon on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Based on a questionnaire survey among viewers of puppet performances, puppeteers and general public, thesis outlines possible impacts of the eventual inscription of this element at the social, cultural and economic level.

Cette thèse a pour but d'envisager en miroir le ningyô-jôruri, dit bunraku, et ses réceptions sur les scènes françaises contemporaines, ainsi d'identifier les raisons de la fascination et les influences sur les créations théâtrales.Une première partie se concentre sur l'art tricentenaire japonais et plus spécifiquement sur le collectif d'artistes, le Bunraku Kyôkai du Théâtre du Bunraku à Ôsaka. Trois arts, en étroite collaboration, le composent : le gidayû-bushi (qui associe voix et instrument) et les marionnettes manipulées à trois manipulateurs (technique dite sanninzukai).Le deuxième mouvement retrace le voyage de cet art dans l'imaginaire de lettrés et hommes de théâtre français, Paul Claudel, Jean-Louis Barrault, Roland Barthes, Georges Banu ; dans les travaux d'universitaires, Jacques Pimpaneau, Jean-Jacques Tschudin ; de traducteurs, René Sieffert et Jeanne Sigée. Figures de passeurs, ils rencontrent cet art, l'érigeant parfois en contre-modèle du théâtre français,dont la figure centrale est l'acteur, parfois en utopie théâtrale.Enfin, sans se risquer à une véritable adaptation, les metteurs en scène du monde de la marionnette (Philippe Genty, Dominique Houdart, Michael Meschke) puis plus largement des univers du théâtre et de la danse transposent, empruntent, citent dans un jeu subtil d'éloignement et d'intimité avec l'art originel. Les nouveaux visages du bunraku sur les plateaux français portent les interrogations de la scène contemporaine : quête idéale de théâtralité (Ariane Mnouchkine), perspective de l'hyperréalisme (Bérangère Vantusso), tentation d'accès à l'invisible (Claude Régy). / This work aims at considering ninjyô-jôruri -or bunraku- on the one hand and how French stages integrated it on the other hand. By doing so, we will understand better the fascination for it and explain how it influenced theatrical creations.The first part focuses on this three-century-old art and more precisely on a group of artists, the Bunraku Kyôkai from the Bunraku Theatre in Ôsaka. Bunraku is composed of three closely linked arts: gidayû-bushi (which couples voices and instruments) and puppets manipulated by three artists (sanninzukai technique).The second part tells how French intellectuals like Paul Claudel, Jean-Louis Barrault, Roland Barthes and Georges Banu made bunraku their own. Jacques Pimpaneau and Jean-Jacques Tschudin also brought a new light through their academic works, as well as translators such as René Sieffert and Jeanne Sigée. They all acted as go-betweens. They sometimes presented Bunraku as a counter-model for French theatre -in which actors are a central figure- and sometimes as a theatrical utopia.To finish, puppet stage directors (Philippe Genty, Dominique Houdart, Michael Meschke) although they didn't venture into a real adaptation, started a dialogue with bunraku by transposing, borrowing from or quoting some aspects of it. The world of theatre and dance followed a similar suit. The new faces of bunraku in France are interrogating the contemporary stage: it's an ideal quest for theatricality (with Ariane Mnouchkine), a perspective for hyperrealism (with Bérangère Vantusso) and an attempt to reach the invisible (with Claude Régy).

With the rising number of servers used in productions, virtualization technology engineers needed a new a tool to help them manage the rising configuration workload. Infrastructure as code(IaC), a term that consists mainly of techniques and tools to define wanted configuration states of servers in machine readable code files, which aims at solving the high workload induced by the configuration of several servers. With new tools, new challenges rise regarding the security of creating the infrastructure as code scripts that will take over the processing load. This study is about finding out how open-source developers perform when creating IaC scripts in regard to how many security smells they insert into their scripts in comparison to previous studies and such how developers can mitigate these risks. Security smells are code patterns that show vulnerability and can lead to exploitation. Using data gathered from GitHub with a web scraper tool created for this study, the author analyzed 400 repositories from Ansible and Puppet with a second tool created, tested and validated from previous study. The Security Linter for Infrastructure as Code uses static code analysis on these repositories and tested these against a certain ruleset for weaknesses in code such as default admin and hard-coded password among others. The present study used both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze the data. The results show that developers that actively participated in developing these repositories with a creation date of at latest 2019-01-01 produced less security smells than Rahman et al (2019b, 2020c) with a data source ranging to November 2018. While Ansible produced 9,2 compared to 28,8 security smells per thousand lines of code and Puppet 13,6 compared to 31,1. Main limitation of the study come mainly in looking only at the most popular and used tools of the time of writing, being Ansible and Puppet. Further mitigation on results from both studies can be achieved through training and education. As well as the use of tools such as SonarQube for static code analysis against custom rulesets before the scripts are being pushed to public repositories.

The present study investigated the basic question: Will preschool, kindergarten, and first grade students have a greater increase in knowledge of selected nutritional concepts as a result of viewing a puppet story than a similar composite will have when the same material is presented via dramatic storytelling?
