Cette thèse examine l'impact de la mondialisation sur l'urbanisation de Beyrouth, capitale pensée a la fois comme métropole au sein du Liban et ville–monde à l’échelle internationale. Longtemps, les discours sur la Ville Globale, ont porté principalement sur les villes du Premier Monde. Une littérature postcoloniale plus récente sur Beyrouth et le monde arabe a élargi le discours de la mondialisation pour inclure le « tiers-monde », les pays en voie de développement et plus particulièrement les villes du Proche-Orient et du bassin méditerranée. Ainsi, cette ouverture a permis de relier l'urbanisation contemporaine avec les diverses formes prises par la modernité. L’objectif de cette recherche est de proposer une lecture de l’urbanisation de Beyrouth depuis la fin du XIXème siècle en mettant en lumière la place centrale prise par les interactions, souvent contradictoires, entre logiques spatiales endogènes et exogènes dans l’explication de ce processus. La méthodologie repose sur quatre approches complémentaires (cartes mentales, entretiens auprès d’experts, analyse critique et historique de la planification urbaine étatique de Beyrouth, géopolitique de l’enseignement supérieur) permettant l’analyse de la restructuration et de la différenciation de la région métropolitaine de Beyrouth et du littoral. La spécificité géographique de Beyrouth contribue à nuancer les tendances à la mondialisation du phénomène urbain dans les espaces dits en voie de développement. Trois étapes de la croissance et de la structuration urbaine se dégage : la centralisation de la période coloniale, la décentralisation liée à la période de l'indépendance et de la guerre civile, la fragmentation enfin lors de la période dite de la « post guerre ». Ce processus inscrit dans le temps long, s’accélère au cours de la dernière période. La « Mondiapolisation » de Beyrouth signifie à la fois l’insertion de Beyrouth dans un modèle monde de l’urbanisation et l’affirmation de valeurs métropolitaines. / This dissertation investigates the impact of globalization on the urbanization of Beirut, a city perceived, on the one hand, as a capital metropolis in the heart of Lebanon and, on the other hand, as an international world-city. The literature on global cities has mainly tackled the cities of the developed world despite the fact that more recent postcolonial literature about Beirut and the Arab world has expanded the discourse of globalization to include the “third-world,” the under-developed countries, and particularly the cities of the Near-East and the mediterranean basin. The objective is to provide an explanation of the urbanization of Beirut, and to try to apply this corpus in order to assess the evolution of Beirut since the end of the nineteenth century. The methodology examines the restructuration and the differentiation of Beirut’s metropolitan area and its coastline as one whole carrying the highest level of urbanization. It is based on four complementary approaches: the mental image of the metropolitan area of Beirut as perceived by its inhabitants, semi-directive interviews to complete the representations and widen the scope of the initial claim, a spatio–chronological reading of the official discourses of urban planning at the different periods of development of contemporary Beirut, and the choice of spatial indicators among which the spatial distribution of universities as a reflection of the geopolitical differentiation of Lebanon and the intersection of endogenous and exogenous factors. In conclusion, the geographical specificity of Beirut reveals the nuances of globalization trends of the urban phenomenon in the so-called under-development spaces. Three stages of growth and urban structure are identified : centralization, corresponding to the colonial period, decentralization, to the period of independence and civil war, and fragmentation, to the period known as "post-war" Beirut. We call this long-term process the "Globapolization" of Beirut.

A consciência histórica é a manifestação do processo ontológico da interpretação, no qual o passado que afeta o presente se manifesta enquanto uma alteridade, ampliando o horizonte do intérprete. A produção de uma consciência histórica não é uma possibilidade apenas da ciência histórica. A literatura, mais especificamente a obra Levantado do chão do escritor português José Saramago, também pode produzi-la. A realização dessa empreitada, entretanto, não segue os procedimentos e protocolos da historiografia, tampouco almeja se enquadrar ou produzir um discurso semelhante. É através da articulação das dimensões temporais mudança e permanência pela narrativa que a consciência histórica é construída no romance. / Historical consciousness is the manifestation of the ontological process of interpretation, in which the past that affects the present manifests itself as an otherness, enlarging the horizon of the interpreter. The production of a historical consciousness is not a possibility only of historical science. Literature, more specifically the work Levantado do chão of the portuguese writer José Saramago, can also produce it. The realization of this work, however, does not follow the procedures and protocols of historiography, nor does it seek to fit in or produce a similar discourse. It is through the articulation of the temporal dimensions change and permanence by the narrative that historical consciousness is built on the novel.

Ce projet de recherche-création prend la forme d’un court métrage, intituté Persistance de la mémoire, accompagné d’un texte écrit. Ces deux parties articulées explorent le concept du double et les notions du temps, de la mémoire et du flash-back. Développé comme une recherche-création autopoïétique, selon une méthodologie de « practice based research », ce mémoire-création cherche à répondre aux questions suivantes : Dans une œuvre cinématographique, quels outils narratifs sont employés afin de véhiculer des émotions et des moments clés pour représenter le temps et la mémoire ? Cette question se décline en deux sous-questions : 1. Comment le flash-back devient-il un moyen d’altérer ou de réviser le passé? 2. Est-ce que le flash-back est un point de vue subjectif du protagoniste ou de l’auteur? À partir de mes recherches et de mon processus créatif, je souhaite porter une réflexion épistémologique sur cette question en examinant l’usage, les particularités et les modalités des outils narratifs dans la mise en récit. Le concept du double émerge comme un fil conducteur à travers ma recherche et la partie création ainsi que dans les instances de la temporalité et du flash-back. / This research-creation project comprises two components; the short film entitled Persistence de la mémoire, and the written document section. These two enunciated segments explore the concept of the double and the concepts of time, memory and the flashback. Developed as an autopoietic research-creation pursuant to a “practice-based research” methodology, this research-creation seeks to answer the following questions: In a film, what narrative tools are used to convey emotions, and key moments to represent time and memory? This question is divided into two sub-questions, which are: 1. How does the flashback become a way to alter or revise the past? 2. Is the flashback a subjective point of view of the protagonist or the author? Based on my research and my creative process, I wish to bring an epistemological reflection to this question by examining the uses, particularities and modalities of narrative tools in storytelling. The concept of the double emerges as a common thread through my research and in the creation portion, as well as in the instances and uses of temporality and the flashback.

In view of the complexity characterizing the contemporary discipline of academic theology, there is a need for functional models. Against the background of significant developments in twentieth-century theology, this thesis attempts to develop an analytical model which can make sense of some of the complexity characterizing this field. More specifically, the aim is to produce a model which can be used to distinguish between and relate different theological positions to each other at a meta-level. This is achieved through the elaboration of a two-dimensional typology composed of four quadrants representing distinct theological orientations. The proposed model and its analytical categories form the basis for a discussion of some key figures and themes in modern theology, with a particular emphasis on eschatologically oriented theologies. Finally, on the basis of preceding discussions, a case is made for theology’s ability to fulfill a vital cultural-critical role in a secular context.

Conceived in the wake of a global pandemic and the unanticipated need to create digital theatre, COVEN-19, or Magicks for Unprecdented Times as a devising project consisted of two witchcraft-inspired performances: a fall 2020 Samhain ritual and a spring 2021 Beltane ritual. The company of undergraduate and graduate theatre witches explored decentralized, iterative, slow, caretaking, queer forms of devising over digital platforms. The written portion of this thesis takes the form of a digital tarot blog: 22 (plus a bonus) interconnected essays and spells that interrogate feminist and queer theories as they pertain to the Coven’s devising process. This digital format not only reflects the malleable nature of the creative process, but it is also a kind of praxis that invites the reader to take an active role in meaning-making and resists an objective, singular narrative. Woven through these tarot cards are threads of utopian futurity, situated subjectivities, and anticapitalist temporalities. The essays and spells are primarily in conversation with adrienne maree brown, Judith Butler, Audre Lorde, Jose Estaban Munoz, and Starhawk – engaging with these theorists as thought-ancestors in order to activate rather than regurgitate their knowledges of radical hope and nonlinear process. The tarot deck takes a situated, backwards glance toward these ancestors as it grasps at seemingly impossible utopian horizons of collaboration and creation.

L’Encéphalopathie Spongiforme Bovine (ESB), maladie animale découverte en 1986, est reconnue comme un problème de santé publique depuis 1996, date à laquelle son lien avec la variante de la maladie de Creutzfeldt-Jakob fut avéré. Dans ce contexte, les autorités françaises et européennes développèrent différentes mesures afin d’endiguer l’épizootie et réduire les risques d’exposition des consommateurs. Les instances gouvernementales se concentrèrent, notamment, sur les farines animales. Ces produits, fabriqués à partir des déchets animaux non consommés par les êtres humains et distribués dans l’alimentation des animaux d’élevage, furent, en effet, reconnus comme le vecteur de propagation de l’agent pathogène dans les troupeaux. En France, ces farines furent complètement interdites d’usage dans les rations alimentaires des animaux d’élevage le 14 novembre 2000. Cette décision plaça alors les pouvoirs publics dans une situation de crise puisque, malgré leur interdiction, leur production demeura et demeure toujours obligatoire car ces dernières permettent de réduire en masse et en volume les quantités de déchets animaux. Les autorités durent ainsi trouver de nouveaux exutoires pour ces produits dont la production atteignait, en 2000, un volume hebdomadaire de 8 000 tonnes. C’est dans ce contexte de gestion d’un produit reconnu nationalement à risque sanitaire que s’inscrit ce travail. La thèse repose sur l’exploitation d’archives de différentes natures (gouvernementales, industrielles, médiatiques et associatives) et poursuit un double objectif. Elle cherche, d’une part, à reconstruire la temporalité de l’action publique dans la gestion des farines animales au regard des différents acteurs locaux impliqués et, d’autre part, à identifier les niveaux d’action et stratégies territoriales en jeu dans le maintien ou la résorption de cette crise. Pour mieux comprendre les processus de territorialisation de l’action publique, la thèse s’inscrit dans une approche mixte qui intègre dans le questionnement géographique les réflexions associées aux « instruments de l’action publique » [Halpern C., Lascoumes P., Le Galès P., 2014] et croise les apports des analyses quantitatives et qualitatives. / Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), disease discovered in 1986, is known as public health problem since 1996. Indeed, it has been linked to the variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease has shown. In this context, European and French authorities took several measures to control the epidemic and to decrease the chance of exposure of consumers. Governments especially focused on feed-bone meals, produced from animal waste and used in cattle feed, which were recognised as the vector of the spread of the disease. Feed-bone meal were totally banned the 14th November 2000 in France and this decision entailed a huge crisis. Indeed, feed-bone meal were declared unfit for cattle consumption but their production remained, and still remains, necessary. They allow to reduce in weight and volume the quantities of animal waste which are produced by agro-food industry. French government had to find new outlet for feed-bone meal which are massively produced (8 000 tons per week in 2000). This thesis analyses the way this crisis has been handled in France. She draws on archives from several sources (governmental, industrial, media, associative) and has two aims. Firstly, thesis points out the temporality of public action in the light of local actors who were in charge. Secondly, this work identifies levels of action and territorial strategies which have been mobilised to manage the French feed-bone meal crisis. To better understand territorialisation of public action, thesis sets in mix-methods methodology which integrate in geographical issue the considerations around “tools of public action” [Halpern C., Lascoumes P., Le Galès P., 2014] and crosses the contributions of qualitative and quantitative analysis.

This thesis deals with the analysis of rhythms (Lefebvre 2004) at Prague's Rašín Embankment (náplavka Rašínova nábřeží). This thesis would also focus on the observation of the spatiotemporal changes of this place in a long term. I carried out qualitative interviews with actors who co-create the rhythms of this place with their managerial and entrepreneurial activities and added them to long-term continual visits and sensory perception of the place, along with the study of specialized historical publications. The analysis of the rhythms based on long-term participant observation was followed by an interpretation of what they actually tell us about everyday social reality of this place at specific times and how this space is produced by those rhythms. In this thesis I also used related concepts like chronotope (Crang, 2001; Osman, Mulíček, Seidenglanz, 2010, 2015) and chronopolis (Osman, Mulíček, Seidenglanz 2011, 2017). This thesis shows that nowadays the eurhythmia of this place is created by non- disruptive movement of local visitors such as walkers, runners and cyclists along the embankment, by regularly organized farmers' market and other events as well as by the flow of the Vltava river and its rhythms, by all means of transport on the local roads, bridges and the Vltava river. From the...

The dissertation surveys the use of expressions of futurality in professional economic texts (the linguistic part). In addition, it investigates didactic aspects of futurality in the process of English as a second language acquisition, focusing on undergraduates in the study programme B 6208 - Economy and Management (the didactic part). The topic was chosen on the basis of the author's empirical experience and the results of pre-tests in the target group. The research is based on a corpus-based linguistic study. Seven representative monographs written by native speakers were selected as a source of relevant information about the use of futural constructions in a written economic text. All the sources were explored by means of corpus query software and instances of selected futural constructions (will, shall, be going to, be about to, be on the point of, be (due) to and the present tense) were excerpted. Functions of the futural constructions were elaborted on the basis of the numerous excerpts and confronted with English for specific (economic) purpose textbooks that are used widely at Czech economic universities. To prove or disaprove their mutual interdependence, the correlation of general language and specific language proficiencies of undergraduates from two universities was measured....
