This paper traces over time changes in concepts of child care using two care centers in Oregon as examples. Early in the twentieth century, the ideas of the time stressed the need to institutionalize dependent , neglected, and retarded children in a setting which focused on simple custodial care. The lack of environmental stimulation was evident. With the advances in the nation’s social, economic, and medical services in midcentury, besides the advances in technology, attitudes started to change which stressed the importance of care-giving institutions such as foster homes, child clinics and mental health facilities as well as specialized residential care for more disturbed or delinquent children. Child care has improved greatly because of the greater availability of both federal and state funds for private and public institutions and the increased use of diagnostic centers. One of the significant results from this change in simply housing children in need to housing and treating them in multifaceted and environmentally improved care facilities is the stimulus given to constantly develop and innovate knowledge and methods in the care of children.

In spite of David Lodge’s rejection of the theories labelled as poststructuralist, this thesis proves that his novels can be interpreted from a Foucauldian perspective. The concept of discourse, seen by the French philosopher as intricately linked with knowledge, power and truth, enables the distinction of four main discourses in Lodge’s novels, religious, gender, ethnic and literary. The analysis reveals that in David Lodge’s fiction there is a perpetual struggle for power illustrating Foucault’s idea of the interdependence between power, knowledge, truth and discourses circulated by institutions. / Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit dem narrativen Gesamtwerk von David Lodge, einem sehr erfolgreichen und bekannten englischen Romanautor der Gegenwart. Die Untersuchung vollzieht sich im theoretischen Sinne auf der Grundlage von Michel Foucaults Diskursanalyse, die die Differenzierung von vier Diskurstypen in Bezug auf Religion, Geschlecht (Gender), Ethnizität und Literatur in den Romanen des Britischen Autors erlaubt. Zusammengefasst bringt die vorliegende Dissertation zum Vorschein, dass es einen unendlichen Kampf um Macht in Lodges Fiktion gibt und dass, obwohl er sich gegen den Poststrukturalismus wehrt, seine Romane Michel Foucaults Diskurstheorie auf sie anzuwenden erlauben. Folglich liegt die Innovation dieser Untersuchung darin, dass sie zeigt, dass David Lodges Romane Foucaults Diskursanalyse, in der Diskurse, die von Institutionen verbreitet werden, in Interabhängigkeit mit Wissen, Wahrheit und vor allem Macht stehen, reflektieren.

Dans le monde de la traduction littéraire, l'humour est réputé soulever des difficultés particulières et les travaux sur sa traduction portent le plus souvent sur des jeux de mots, des plaisanteries ou des textes courts. Rares sont ceux dont l'objet est la traduction de l'humour dans un texte long, comme un roman. L'objet de cette recherche est l'humour dans le roman de David Lodge intitulé Deaf Sentence et dans sa version française, La vie en sourdine, réalisée par Maurice et Yvonne Couturier. La thèse compte cinq chapitres. Le chapitre 1 est consacré à une revue de travaux sur l'humour raconté, puis lexicalisé et ensuite étudié. Dans le chapitre 2, j'expose les cadres conceptuel et opératoire qui balisent l'étude de cas et dans le chapitre 3 je présente David Lodge, le roman étudié et le couple Couturier qui a créé la version française. Le chapitre 4 est consacré aux passages du texte de départ auxquels j'ai attribué des effets humoristiques, ou qui contribuent à ces effets, et le chapitre 5 au texte d'arrivée, à ses similitudes et à ses différences avec le texte de départ ainsi qu'au sort que connaissent dans le texte d'arrivée les analogues des passages du texte de départ auxquels j'ai attribué des effets humoristiques, ou qui y contribuent. Suivent la médiagraphie et les annexes. / In literary translation, humour is known to raise numerous difficulties and the scholars interested in its translation most often study puns, jokes, and short texts, leaving aside the translation of humour in long texts, such as novels. The object of this study is humour in David Lodge's novel, Deaf Sentence, and in its French version, La vie en sourdine, translated by Maurice and Yvonne Couturier. The thesis has five chapters. Chapter 1 is devoted to humour narrated, lexicalised and studied. In chapter 2, I lay out the conceptual and operational frameworks of the case study and in chapter 3 I introduce David Lodge, the novel under study and the Couturier couple who created the French version. Chapter 4 focuses on the passages in the source text to which I attributed humorous effects, or which contribute to them, and Chapter 5 is dedicated to the target text, its similarities and differences with the source text and the fate of the passages to which I attributed humorous effects, or which contributed to it, in the source text. Mediagraphy and appendices follow.

The purpose of this study was to assess the adjustment of 157 children discharged from Edgefield Lodge in an effort toward accountability to both clients served and the public. Level of adjustment of the children was determined by checking the records of various community agencies including the Police, Sherriff, Youth Service Centers, Juvenile Court, Children’s Services Division, and the schools. Using the information gathered, the adjustment of each child was scored using the Community Adaptation Scale which was developed for that purpose. Theses adjustment scores were the main outcome variable in the study.

Emerging environmental designs have reacted toward a new environmental scope and agenda to provide a better understanding of functionality and sustainability. Biomimicry is a recent environmental approach that mimics nature for improving processes and structures design. This has important consequences for urban development and planning. The most relevant for us is that these new structures help us to breakdown the false dichotomy between landscape and architecture and therefore are ideal to integrate urban planning and to rethink environmental standards within ongoing development. The main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of building a peripheral district in Manaus using biomimicry designed lodges. Our main interest is to identify the types of customers that could be involved in this urban development project. This study analyzes the willingness of customers to go for a biomimicry lodge. The analyzed information will come from a survey of a non-randomized population. Our target group are mature postmodern societies -sorted out by country of residence and willingness to travel-. The sample tested different attitudes, values and beliefs on environment which will help us to break down patterns of consumption using the literature review as reference. The study uses ordinary least squares (OLS) to determine significant predictors for different types of customers. This survey might help environmental activists, local authorities and social entrepreneurs with data for successfully developing alternative environmental designs. Our direct clients are real estate developers, social entrepreneurs and the business community in general. However, these results have also an indirect effect on the actual state of environmental design trends and on policy making. Local authorities might consider these results for agenda setting and as well for mobilizing civil society for better ecological practices.
