本研究採取質性訪談及問卷分析法，以曾經選擇短期、一學期、一學年在臺灣的大學院校研習修課的大陸學生為主要研究對象，透過質性訪談及問卷分析的方式，探討兩岸文教學生的交流之影響。 兩岸文教交流近五年間歷經極大轉變，從第一波開放只有個位數的大陸學生，僅只能選擇短期一周或一個月間如寒暑假短期交流方式，至今幾乎臺灣的各大學院每一所校約計有超過數十位的大陸學生與臺灣學生一起共同學習上課，部份臺灣的私立大學還有超過數百位，甚至近千位的短期大陸研修生，大陸學生在臺灣儼然在校園裡成為特殊的「大陸研習生」新文化，這一波兩岸交流熱潮預料將持續掀起新一波的大型浪潮，悄悄地改變臺灣的高等教育生態。 為深入瞭解大陸學生選擇來臺灣研習的了解大陸學生在臺灣學習之過程經驗，是否足以再吸引更多大陸學生來臺之強烈動機，藉此提供臺灣大學院校掌握大陸學生之需求以及可能吸引大陸學生的原因。本篇論文採取問卷及訪談方式，為求瞭解陸生來臺之後，對於臺灣地區學生之學習態度、競爭力、師資設備與課程規劃知覺與預期相較之差距，對於未來再次來臺研習意願之關聯性，本文透過結構式問卷進行資料收集。 整體而言，陸生來臺實際接觸臺灣地區教學環境之後，普遍認為臺灣地區學生之學習態度略為高於預期、師資設備與課程規劃亦同優於陸生之預期，因此，陸生未來再次來臺意願偏高，惟有競爭力一項，陸生對於臺灣地區學生競爭力之知覺，明顯劣於來臺學習行前之預期。 深度訪談中則顯示大陸學生對臺灣的大學院校有較佳的意願興趣度，分析探討之因素多為兩岸學生在同一種語言學習環境裡、離家較近等距離時空因素，而臺灣的大學生在大陸學生的印象中，活潑、熱情、對社團參與度高，加上臺灣的師資水準仍具一定影響力，使大陸學生仍願意選擇在臺灣學習上課，甚至在兩岸高校互相簽定姐妹校關係下，採取學分交換方式，到臺灣擔任交換生。 / By interviewing and analyzing the questionnaires of the mainland students who studied in the universities in Taiwan for one or two semesters, the current research studied the influences of cultures and educations across strait through the exchange student programs. In the recent five years, there has been a big change in the cultural and educational exchange cross strait. In the beginning, there were only less than 10 exchange students from China to study here for only one week or one month, as well as short-term exchanges for summer or winter breaks only. Currently, almost every large-scale of universities in Taiwan, more than ten mainland students attend classes with Taiwan students. For some private universities, more than hundreds, even thousands of mainland students come to study. It has formed a new culture of “mainland students” on campus in Taiwan. This new culture is predicted to be a big trend which quietly changes the environment of higher education system in Taiwan. The objective of this study was to understand the motivations of these students from mainland China to study any program in Taiwan. The results of this study will provide colleges and universities in Taiwan with informative sources for attracting more Chinese students and understanding their needful. Both questionnaire and interviewing methodologies were used for this study. The results show that most of the Chinese students were interested in colleges and universities in Taiwan because students from both sides speak the same language and short distances between China and Taiwan for returning home. The impressions of local students to those Chinese students were active, passions and highly bound to extra curriculum. The level of teaching quality and environment in Taiwan was impressed and effective to the Chinese students. For all of the above mentioned reasons, students from China were still willing to attend the classes in Taiwan for some credit hours through the exchange student programs and mutual beneficial programs.

There is an ancient rabbinic apothegm which asserts that prophecy “ceased” after the last Biblical prophets, Haggai, Zachariah, and Malachi. After their deaths, a new phase of divine revelation was believed to have emerged through manifestations of a bat kol (lit. “Daughter of a voice”). This thesis examines the bat kol’s function within the contours of the Babylonian Talmud, primarily, employing philological, literary, and historical analyses. Moreover, it includes a review of parallels with Biblical and Second-Temple era, Apocalyptic works, so as to suggest possible origins. In addition, a sample of about ten stories are presented as representative of larger categories I consider best exhibit the bat kol’s purpose. The categories include: announcing an individual’s entry into the world to come, encomium and disdain towards individuals, matters related to Halacha (Jewish Law), and miscellaneous. As a result we discover how the rabbis employed the bat kol to address contemporary concerns.

Cette thèse étudie l’accompagnement, en France, des personnes atteintes de maladie d’Alzheimer ou de maladie apparentée au sein des établissements d’hébergement pour personnes âgées dépendantes. Elle articule trois niveaux d’enquête et d’analyse : investigation socio-historique des politiques publiques et de la pensée professionnelle relatives à ces établissements et à la place qu’y a pris la problématique de la maladie d’Alzheimer (et des maladies apparentées) ; enquête de type ethnographique dans un corpus restreint d’établissements ; élargissement de l’analyse à un niveau macrosociologique qui réinscrit le corpus restreint dans le contexte national.Face à la vision dominante, sectorielle et fondée sur l’« adaptation à une population cible », on découvre, en examinant l’expérience effective des professionnels et les choix assumés par les directions des établissements concernés, une réalité plus nuancée. Se révèle une pensée du « commun », avec le double enjeu de « tenir ensemble » la collectivité des résidents et de fournir un accompagnement de qualité pour tous. Deux modes d’accompagnement semblent s’opposer, dans un contexte de débats constants et d’occultation de réelles alternatives, l’un fondé sur la ségrégation des personnes atteintes de troubles cognitifs (accompagnement spécifique dans des espaces spécifiques, qui s’est largement imposé comme norme) et l’autre opposé à la ségrégation. Au-delà de cette opposition, l’accompagnement des personnes atteintes de troubles cognitifs se construit bien davantage dans une subtile dialectique fondée non seulement sur une hybridation de formes différentes d’aide et de soins, mais aussi sur l’invention de pratiques nouvelles. La norme est le spécifique, la pratique est l’invention. Il en résulte que non seulement la place faite aux résidents atteints de troubles cognitifs mais aussi la fonction sociale que peut remplir un accompagnement qui sache les compter s’avèrent ambivalents. Si l’étiquette attribuée à ces résidents soumet leur existence à des contraintes institutionnelles particulières, on observe en même temps qu’ils bénéficient d’un traitement privilégié dont les professionnels ont à coeur de faire profiter le plus grand nombre. L’accompagnement de la maladie d’Alzheimer y apparait alors comme porteur des potentialités d’un laboratoire de transformations valant pour l’ensemble des résidents. / This research studies dementia care in nursing home, in France. It articulates three levels of analysis : a socio-historical investigation of public policies and professionals thinking about the importance given to dementia in nursing homes; an ethnographic field survey in a limited corpus of nursing homes; an extension to a macro-sociological level to put this reality back into its national context.Facing the dominant sector-wide approach based on an “adaptation to a target population” model, by observing the experience of the professionals and the managers’ choices, we discover a more complex reality, fostered by a global approach which attempting to combine two issues: the cohabitation of the whole community of residents and the provision of good care for all. Two mains ways seem to be opposed, in a context of constant debates and occultations of alternatives, the first one based on segregation of people with dementia (specific care in special unit that is widely accepted as standard), the second one opposing this segregation. Beyond that, care is built as a subtle dialectic based not only on an hybridization of different forms of care but also on the creation of new practices. Specific is the standard, creation is the practice. As a result, the place given to people with dementia and the social function of a care that account them, are ambivalent. The label assigned to them submit their life to institutional constraints. In the same time, they receive a privileged treatment, that professionals want to extend to all residents. Dementia care appears then as a social laboratory for changes, applies for each residents.

[pt] Esta dissertação propõe um estudo acerca da acentuação do controle dos corpos efetuado pelo regime farmacopornográfico (Paul B. Preciado) e sua produção de subjetividade, levando em conta a tensão entre as técnicas que compõem o que se habituou a chamar de humano e as invenções técnicas que se afastam do mesmo, das quais o bio-hackeamento e a intoxicação voluntária serão os exemplos analisados. Para isso, faz-se aqui um duplo movimento de investigação e experimentação dos conceitos de aliança intensiva (Deleuze e Guattari), ou alianças demoníacas (Viveiros de Castro), a partir de laços estratégicos possíveis entre os desumanizados pelo humanismo. Há também a proposição de uma alternativa ao humanismo levando adiante a provocação conceitual de Preciado de um animalismo por vir, em uma escrita especulativa que atravessa as obras de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Metafísicas Canibais) e Paul B. Preciado (Testo Yonqui). / [en] This dissertation proposes a study on the accentuation of the control of the bodies effected by the pharmacopornographic regime (Paul B. Preciado) and its production of subjectivity taking into account the tension between the techniques that compound what we are accustomed to call human and the technical inventions that deviate from it, of which the biohacking and the voluntary intoxication will be the examples analyzed. For this, a double movement of investigation and experimentation of the concepts of intensive alliance (Deleuze and Guattari), or demonic alliance (Viveiros de Castro), possible strategic ties between the dehumanized by humanism, is necessary. There is also the proposition of an alternative to humanism taking forward the conceptual provocation of Preciado of an animalism to come, in a speculative writing that runs through the works of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro (Cannibal Metaphysics) and Paul B. Preciado (Testo Junkie).

In 1840, apostle missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints compiled, printed, and began distributing a hymnbook that eventually would become the basis for all subsequent LDS hymnbooks published in English in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This thesis, as a contribution to the literature of communication, book history, and hymnology, as well as the intellectual and cultural history of the early years of the LDS Church, focuses on analyzing the poetry of the 1840 Mormon Manchester hymnbook. Using qualitative root-metaphor analysis, the author identified and analyzed expressions, supporting an emergent journey root-metaphor. He then divided the expressions into eight categories, each describing important and distinct aspects of the Journey. These categories include the following: 1) the travelers, 2) the activities on the journey, 3) the way, 4) the destination, 5) the guide, 6) the invitation to come, 7) the motivations, and 8) the lost wanderers. This thesis is based on the assumption that cultures and religions can be understood through the stories they tell. The story of the journey as told through the poetry of the 1840 Manchester hymnbook illuminates one aspect of the religious experience of early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Taken together, the eight aspects of the journey root-metaphor identified in this thesis tell a story about LDS members as travelers on a journey home, who walk on a straight and narrow path, away from a dark and fallen world, through snares, darkness, and other dangers, toward a glorious destination where rest, joy, and other rewards await them. Ultimately the travelers must rise above this world and follow Christ to a place where they may live with God to serve and praise him ever more.

In this thesis, the legal theory of Robert Cover is employed to analyse the procedural turn of the ECtHR. The text studies how Animal Defenders International v. the United Kingdom (ADI) and subsequent case law relate to the margin of appreciation doctrine and how this can be understood from a Coverian point of view. The margin of appreciation is thus seen as a product of an interplay between paideic and imperial forces where the imperial, or world-maintaining, influences on the doctrine are the strongest. ADI and later cases are read as further accentuating the focus on the nomos of the state relative to competing nomoi already at work in the case law of the procedural turn. The thesis is closed with an amalgamation of Cover’s ideas with the democratic theory of Jacques Derrida which results in a discussion on what a Coverian re-evaluation of the approach outlined in ADI could look like.
