Los rostros prohibidos de Dios: Trinidades trifaciales en el ande virreinal, (s. XVIII)

Alegría Sabogal, José Gabriel 13 September 2019 (has links)
El tema de la presente investigación son los ejemplares de Trinidad trifacial producidos en las regiones andinas del virreinato peruano durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, aunque las piezas en cuestión cuentan solo con fechas aproximadas pues han sufrido de una larga disociación de sus contextos originales. Se examinan, en primer lugar, los precedentes de la iconografía en Europa: sus orígenes paganos, su apropiación como motivo decorativo durante la edad media, y su difusión como motivo trinitario durante el renacimiento italiano. Temas tangentes que se tratan en esta fase son también la reiterada asociación errónea de esta iconografía con herejías, presente tanto en fuentes medievales como en autores contemporáneos, y la presencia paralela del motivo trifacial en alegorías y libros de emblemas. Em segundo lugar, con el fin de contextualizar el desarrollo de estas piezas en el nuevo mundo, así como las interpretaciones que de estas se han hecho, se toman en cuenta los siguientes factores: Sus fuentes grabadas, la prohibición de esta iconografía por Roma en el s. XVIII, y la noción de “trinidades precolombinas” en el mundo andino presente en muchas crónicas. Un tema tangente que se enfatiza es la relación frecuente de la Trinidad trifacial con san Agustín, visible en muchos ejemplares. Tras esto, se realiza un acercamiento y análisis puntual de los ejemplares. Estos se incluyen ordenados de acuerdo con sus variantes iconográficas, tanto como a lo que se considera su progresiva transformación en un motivo devocional popular. Se examina el caso del Señor del Gran Poder de La Paz, como una devoción desarrollada alrededor de una Trinidad trifacial en el mundo aymara durante la modernidad, cuyos aspectos distintivos se desarrollan precisamente en función de sus tres rostros. Por último, se hace un breve estudio de la presencia de este motivo en un caso reciente de arte popular, así como en las obras de artistas contemporáneos peruanos y extranjeros, los cuales expresan cómo esta iconografía continúa apelando a la sensibilidad actual bajo nuevas interpretaciones. / Tesis

Enjeux et défis de la trajectoire de développement de deux petits États insulaires anglophones : étude comparée de Maurice et de Trinidad des origines à l’ère de l’économie de la connaissance / Issues and Challenges Faced by Two English-Speaking Small Island States in the Course of Their Development : a Comparative Study of Mauritius and Trinidad, From Colonial Beginnings to Knowledge-Based Economies

Aza, Ondine 23 February 2017 (has links)
Dans un contexte qualifié d’ « économie du savoir », où la croissance de l’économie mondiale repose de plus en plus sur les activités intensives en connaissance, la thèse s’interroge sur la capacité de deux petits États insulaires en développement – Maurice et Trinidad – à s’adapter pour s'intégrer à cette dynamique. Ces anciennes colonies britanniques, membres du Commonwealth depuis leur accession à l'indépendance dans les années soixante, font état d’indicateurs de développement en constante progression et sont souvent considérées comme des modèles de réussite économique. La thèse étudie la mise en place des institutions dans ces pays et cherche à évaluer dans quelle mesure l’héritage de la période coloniale, à travers la trace qu'ils en conservent dans la période contemporaine, peut faciliter la transition de leurs économies vers les secteurs intensifs en savoir. Pour ce faire, elle retrace leur trajectoire de développement institutionnel et économique des origines jusqu’à nos jours et elle s’intéresse notamment aux mesures prises aujourd’hui pour doter le pays du cadre nécessaire à l’économie de la connaissance, en particulier à travers le rôle de l’enseignement supérieur en tant qu’outil fondamental pour former le capital humain. Tout en reconnaissant que certains des atouts dont disposent les deux pays pour s’engager dans ce processus avec succès peuvent être mis en relation avec leur passé colonial, la thèse approfondit l’hypothèse que leur transformation en économies de la connaissance risque aussi d'être entravée par des caractéristiques héritées de cette période et qui, des décennies après l'accession à l'indépendance, freinent une large diffusion de la connaissance au sein de leur population. / At a time when economic growth is thought to be driven primarily by knowledge, the purpose of this research is to analyse to what extent two Small Island Developing States – Mauritius and Trinidad – are adequately equipped for this new economic context. As former British colonies, they both joined the Commonwealth upon gaining independence in the nineteen-sixties and they have since largely succeeded in overcoming their initially unfavourable conditions. Today, their good political, economic and social development is widely acknowledged. The main focus of this research is to evaluate how far colonial legacy, which is still visible in the contemporary institutions of both these states, can favour the transition they wish to undertake towards knowledge-intensive activities as drivers of economic growth. For this purpose, the research analyses the development trajectory followed by their institutions and their economy spanning the whole period of their colonial and post-independence history; additionally, this research considers the steps which are undertaken nowadays to build the framework required to foster a knowledge economy by studying more specifically the role of higher education as an essential tool for human capital formation. While upholding that some of the assets which could help them achieve their objectives can be linked to their colonial past, the research contends that the transformation of these two countries into knowledge-based economies could be hindered by the legacy of colonisation on some of their current features and which, decades after gaining independence, impedes the widespread diffusion of knowledge amongst their population.

La coronación de la Virgen por la Santísima Trinidad de Bernardo Bitti en el arte peruano virreinal

Solórzano Gonzales, Mónica 07 November 2012 (has links)
La figura del hermano jesuita Bernardo Bitti resalta por diferentes razones y, a pesar de lo poco o mucho que se haya escrito sobre él, siempre será objeto de la atención y curiosidad de los interesados en el arte peruano, pues, es el punto de partida en el desarrollo de la historia del arte virreinal. Fue el primer pintor italiano que arribó al Perú y tuvo la misión de ornamentar las casas y templos de su Orden, labor que realizó en Lima y, mayormente, en la zona sur andina y en el Alto Perú. Debido a que tanto su vida como obra en conjunto ya han sido estudiadas, este trabajo se centra en el tema de la Coronación de la Virgen María por la Trinidad que ejecutó hasta en cuatro versiones similares para diferentes ciudades del Perú y de Bolivia. Interesa mostrar cómo este tema introducido por Bitti en la iconografía peruana se convertirá en uno de los más difundidos en la época de mayor apogeo de las escuelas de pintura regionales y, cómo irá modificándose hasta convertirse en uno de los más interesantes ejemplos de sincretismo cultural y religioso. / Tesis

The Racial Equation: Pan-Atlantic Eugenics, Race, And Colonialism in the Early Twentieth Century British Caribbean

Davis, Christopher Anderson 02 November 2018 (has links)
This dissertation explores the intellectual discourse on race in the early twentieth century, particularly from 1919 to 1958, examining how British and American eugenicists and Caribbean nationalists debated the limits of colonial politics in the British Caribbean using academic and scientific language. These discussions emerged in the aftermath of World War I, the economic crises that led to the Great Depression, the political and labor unrest in the British Caribbean, and consequences of the Second World War. The dissertation’s goal is to examine how residents of the British Caribbean understood, appropriated, and challenged some of the principles of eugenics, particularly those espousing ideas of white superiority. The dissertation has taken great consideration of both private and published sources from white and black intellectuals in the Anglophone Caribbean to document the dissemination of concepts of race, ethnicity, and identity in the region during the interwar period. Additionally, focusing on such critical areas as education and social policies, it explores whether eugenic ideas influenced the twentieth-century governance of British West Indian colonies.

Talk through IT : Using Common Ground to build Bridges with Weak Ties in the Design of Online Psychosocial Support

Lochan Winton, Ruth Alicia January 2017 (has links)
There is growing interest in applying information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare. The attention to ICT stems from several factors: costs of healthcare, high prevalence of somatic diseases, longer life expectancy and technological advancements. The quest to meet the growing healthcare needs has led authorities to allocate resources to develop technological solutions. Although this research investment is helpful for the information technology sector, these projects face challenges in working with multidisciplinary teams, recruiting participants and moving research to practice. This dissertation investigates the potential of ICT use in psychosocial support communication designed for people with emotional distress associated with a somatic disease (PEDASDs). The research aims to deliver design principles (DPs) for these ICTs, for three stakeholder groups: nurses, therapists and PEDASDs. The DPs focus on communication between these stakeholder groups and not on the overall ICT design. An interpretative approach was adopted to investigate the stakeholders’ unique ICT requirements. This method allows insights into the stakeholder’s world. Three studies, using semi-structured interviews, at oncology facilities in two healthcare system models (Trinidad & Tobago and Sweden), provide the empirical data. The stakeholders revealed not only their communication support needs but also other issues including the practical distresses of living with a chronic disease, limited support, lack of information, unwillingness to associate with other PEDASDs, professionalism between healthcare providers and disconnected healthcare services. Common ground, bridges and weak ties provide the theoretical framework to explore the findings. Eight DPs emerged from the studies: the healthcare system model, need to educate the stakeholders, ICT customisation, support of stakeholders’ information needs, allow access to external resources, support multidisciplinary team communication, support for self-care and support for significant others. The findings could potentially serve as a guide for ICT projects that develop artefacts for psychosocial support and provide a theoretically grounded understanding of stakeholder communication and relationships. The potential for future work includes investigating the issues of legislation and ethics, studying the needs of significant others, exploring the potential for ICTs in other healthcare system models (particularly the out-of-pocket health system) and examining the impact of social media on psychosocial support. / Det finns ett växande intresse att använda informations- och kommunikationsteknologi (IKT) inom hälso- och sjukvården. Intresset för IKT påverkas av flera faktorer: sjukvårdens kostnader, prevalensen av somatiska sjukdomar, ökad medellivslängd och teknologiska framsteg. Utmaningen att hantera de växande sjukvårdsbehoven har lett till att statliga myndigheter har allokerat resurser för att utveckla teknologiska lösningar. Trots att forskningsinvesteringarna gynnar informationsteknologisektorn i stort möter de konkreta forskningsprojekten utmaningar såsom arbete inom tvärvetenskapliga grupper, rekrytering av deltagare till studier samt implementering. Denna avhandling undersöker möjligheten att använda IKT för kommunikation av psykosocialt stöd eller vård (care). Detta stöd är utformat för personer med emotionella problem relaterade till en somatisk sjukdom (PEDASD). Forskningen syftar till att leverera designprinciper (DP) för tre intressegrupper som använder IKT: sjuksköterskor, terapeuter och PEDASD. Designprinciperna fokuserar på kommunikation mellan de tre intressegrupperna och inte på den övergripande IKT-designen. Ett tolkande tillvägagångssätt har använts för att undersöka intressegruppernas unika IKT-krav och önskemål. Denna metod gör det möjligt att studera intressegruppernas upplevelser. Tre undersökningar, som baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer, har genomförts vid avdelningar för onkologisk vård inom två sjukvårdssystemmodeller i Trinidad & Tobago respektive Sverige. Studiens empiriska data utgörs av intervjuerna. Data har sedan analyserats utifrån det teoretiska ramverket: Common ground, bridges och weak ties. I sina svar nämnde intressegrupperna inte enbart deras behov av kommunikationsstöd, utan också annat som till exempel praktiska problem att leva med en kronisk sjukdom, begränsat stöd, brist på information, ovillighet att förknippas med andra PEDASD, de professionella relationerna mellan sjukvårdens olika yrkesgrupper samt avsaknaden av koordination inom sjukvården. Analysen resulterade i åtta designprinciper: sjukvårdssystemmodellen, behovet av att utbilda intressegrupperna, IKT-anpassning, stöd för intressegruppernas informationsbehov, tillgång till externa resurser, stöd för kommunikation inom tvärvetenskapliga forskargrupper, stöd för självhjälp och stöd till närstående. Resultaten har potential att fungera som en guide för IKT-forskningsprojekt som utvecklar artefakter för psykosocialt stöd och som presenterar en teoretiskt grundad förståelse av intressegruppers kommunikation och relationer. Resultaten pekar också på behovet av framtida forskning om lagstiftning och etik, nära anhörigas behov, potentialen för IKT inom andra sjukvårdssystemmodeller (i synnerhet system där patienter betalar mer själva) samt sociala mediers inverkan på psykosocialt stöd.

Language, Power, and Race: A Comparative Approach to the Sociopolitics of English

Jaimungal, Cristina S. 26 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis highlights the sociopolitics of English as a dominant/colonial language by focusing on the linkage between language, power, and race. Grounded in critical language theory, comparative education theory, and anti-racism research methodology, this research examines the inextricable relationship between language, power, and race. With this in mind, this thesis argues that language, specifically English, is not a neutral tool of communication but a highly contentious issue that is deeply embedded in sociopolitical ideologies and practices. The contexts of Japan and Trinidad and Tobago are used to illustrate how colonialism continues to impact English language policy, practice, and perceptions. In sum, this research aims to bridge the gap between critical language theory, comparative education theory, and anti-racism studies in a way that (1) highlights the complexity of language politics, (2) explores ideological assumptions inherent in the discourse of the "native" language, and (3) underscores the overlooked ubiquity of race.
