學術研究機構向來是科技創新的主要動力來源，許多與人類生活息息相關的發明多半來自於學術研究機構此一孕育創新的搖籃。此外，一個國家的學術研究能量往往也反映了該國的技術能力與競爭力，因此世界各國無不投注大量資源於大專院校及研究機構，期望除了學術產出之外，亦能將原始的創新概念透過研發活動轉化為智慧財產，並進一步將其商業化，滿足市場需求，實現知識之最大價值。 我國之學術研究能量並不落於美、歐、日等主要技術領先國之後，從我國政府投注於學術研發活動之經費、歷年發表於SCI、EI等期刊論文以及取得美國專利之數量等科技發展成果指標便可說明此點，然我國於1999年通過與美國拜杜法案意義相當之科技基本法至今已滿九年，各學研機構之專利申請量雖有成長之勢，然而2007年實際之智慧財產權收益卻僅佔研發總投入費用的0.87%；2005年全國技術貿易額收支比僅達0.23，與美、日、英等國相較，實可謂差強人意，顯見我國在研發成果商業化上已面臨一定瓶頸。 在知識大爆炸方興未艾的二十一世紀，可以預見的是將有越來越多的研發成果持續產出，學研機構花費於取得並維護智慧財產之費用亦將持續提高，如何在產出的眾多研發成果及專利中，篩選出真正有商業化潛力之標的，以將有限的人力、時間、資金等資源投注於其上並轉化為實質的經濟效益，將是學研機構進行研發成果商業化時的重要課題；此外，在學研機構法人化之潮流下，若未來大學等學研單位須自行負擔大部份資金之籌措時，此一評估機制將更顯重要。另，在資訊高度不對稱的情況下，技術需求方難以辨認技術供給方之技術是否為適合之交易標的，因此若能建立一套商業化可行性評估機制，亦能使雙方間之資訊交流更為順暢，促進技術之移轉與商業化。 因此，本研究嘗試提出一研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，以供學研機構進行內部評估，使國內「悶住」的研發能量得以透過有效的評估機制而活化。又，由於不同科技領域所適用之商業化可行性評估方式將有所差異，而生物科技領域為二十一世紀科技發展中之重要領域，且列為政府政策下的重點發展產業之一，加以作者本身之相關學經歷背景，是以本研究選擇生物科技領域研發成果為討論之重點。 本研究分別從5W的角度來探討研發成果商業化可行性之評估機制，分別是進行商業化可行性評估之目的(Why)、進行商業化可行性評估之時點(When)、商業化可行性評估之執行者(Who)、評估所需資訊之取得(How)以及進行商業化可行性評估時所需考量之因素(What)，最後建立一研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，作為本研究之核心概念以及後續個案探討之依據。 此外，本研究針對研發成果商業化可行性評估之各項構面進行介紹，並提出學研機構於進行評估時在各構面應考量之重要項目與問題。依所建立之評估機制與架構流程，將評估構面分為技術、智慧財產、市場、法規與財務五大構面，並以技術與智慧財產構面為探討之重點。 由於本研究之研究對象為學術研究機構，且以生物科技領域為重心，故由大專院校、基礎研究機構及應用研究機構中各挑選一具代表性之單位作為個案研究對象，分別為國立陽明大學、中央研究院以及財團法人工業技術研究院，透過與各機構之研發成果管理專責單位進行訪談，深入了解其運作機制與現況，以期綜覽各類型學研機構之研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，並得出研究發現及建議。 根據個案研究之發現，本研究對於國內學研機構之整體建議，主要包括：研發成果商業化可行性評估機制應依機構之目的、性質、智財管理現況加以擬定；研發成果商業化可行性評估之構面應配合研發成果之性質及開發階段而設定，並以技術構面為基礎，智財構面為樞紐連結市場與法規構面之評估，最後以財務構面進行統合；而學研機構若欲採外部審查方式執行評估工作，須考量可能之缺失；此外，研發成果商業化可行性之評估應由具備跨領域能力之團隊加以執行，並應使具備產業經驗與市場背景之人員有一定程度之涉入；再者，生物科技領域研發成果因其本質上之特殊性，故於進行商業化可行性評估時，有諸多因素需加以考量；最後，政府可主動協助建立專業之機構或團隊，提供學研機構進行研發成果商業化可行性評估甚至後續之技術行銷服務，以有效符合規模經濟、範疇經濟與專業、客觀之考量。 / Academic and research institutes are the origins of technology innovation. Many of the significant inventions were devised in these cradles of innovation. Academic and research power can often indicates the technology capability and competency of a nation. Every government invests vast resources to universities and research institutes in order not only to make academic publication but also to realize the maximum value of the knowledge through converting the innovative ideas into intellectual properties (IP) and further commercializing the R&D achievements to meet the market needs. The academic researches in Taiwan can compete with the technological leading countries such as the U.S, Japan, and E.U. countries, in terms of some science and technology indicators like R & D expenditure, SCI / EI publications, and the number of U.S. patent granted. Nevertheless, the actual revenue generated by IP in 2007 was only account for 0.87% of the total R&D input and the coverage ratio of technology balance of payments was only 0.23 in 2005. The fact indicates that there were some barriers on the path of R&D commercialization in Taiwan. In the 21st century of knowledge explosion, it is predictable that more and more R&D achievements will be generated from academic institutes and the expenses devoted to the acquisition and protection of IP will keep rising. Therefore, it will become a critical issue in academic institutes to sieve out the targets of the higher commercial potential from numerous R&D results and patents so as to concentrate the time, human and financial resources on those targets for its further commercialization. Moreover, under the highly asymmetrical information situation during the technology trading, technology buyers have difficulty in identifying whether the technology is a suitable trading target or not. A well-established feasibility evaluation mechanism will also stimulate the interflow of information and promote the technology transfer and commercialization. Accordingly, this thesis will try to establish a feasibility evaluation mechanism (FEM) for commercialization of R&D achievements in academic institutes in order to activate the stuffy R&D energy in Taiwan. Biotechnology is one of the most important fields of technology in the 21st century and thus be the main concern of the discussion of this thesis. This thesis will investigate the feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements on a “5W” basis, including the purposes of evaluation (why), the time of evaluation (when), the executives of evaluation (who), the information needed in the evaluation process (how), and the factors that should be taken into consideration in the evaluation process (what). Accordingly, a feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements will be established as the central concept of this study and as the ground of follow-up case analysis. In addition, each aspects of feasibility evaluation as well as the significant issues and questions of each aspect will be illustrated in this study. According to the feasibility evaluation mechanism and framework established in this study, there are five main evaluation aspects including the technical aspect, intellectual property aspect, market aspect, legal aspect, and financial aspect. The main subjects of this study were the academic institutes in biotechnology field in Taiwan, the National Yang-Ming University, the Academia Sinica, and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). These institutes are chosen as the subjects of case study standing respectively for the higher education institute, basic research institute, and the applied research institute. By way of interviewing the personnel of R&D achievements and IPR management department in the institutes in question, the feasibility evaluation mechanism implemented by different types of academic institutes was investigated to delineate the key findings, followed up with some practical advices. The overall advices proposed by this study for the academic institutes in Taiwan were summarized as follows: (1) The feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements should be devised in accordance with the purpose, the nature, and the IP management status of each institute. (2) The feasibility evaluation should be set to match up the development stage of the R&D achievements and take the technical aspect as the groundwork, IP aspect as the pivot connecting to the market and legal aspect, and the financial aspect as an integrated result. (3) Evaluation executed by external parties may be of some defects that should be taken into consideration. (4) The feasibility evaluation for R&D commercialization should be executed by multi-disciplinary team and the industry-experienced or market personnel should as well participate in the evaluation process. (5) Due to the characteristics of biotechnology, many special factors should be involved in the evaluation process. (6) The government may actively assist in setting up a professional organization or team to provide feasibility evaluation and even the further technology marketing services to meet the consideration of economies of scale/ scope, specialty, and objectivity.

The subject of this paper is the study of history of the Kačina Chateau from the point of view of its inspiration from the art and architecture of the ancient world. The introductory chapters were dedicated to the general atmosphere of the time in which the castle was designed and built, the general ideas of the Enlightenment, and also to its relations to Count Chotek. There is an unresolved problem whether its relations to Classical antiquity monuments existed directly, or if they were mediated by other sources. While working on the theme it turned out that the foundation of Kačina Chateau derived from earlier models that were developed during centuries. The work of Marcus Vitruvius Pollio was of substantial importance for all Classicist architecture and especially the architects of the Renaissance knew it very well and used it frequently. For the architecture of Kačina Chateau the most important stimuli were those of Andreas Palladio who transformed earlier patterns according to his own artistic views. One of the following chapters concentrates on the personality of the owner of the estate, the Count Jan Rudolf Chotek, and then on the architects and builders of the castle. Following chapters are dedicated to the description of the castle, of its exterior, the segmentation of its interior...

This study is to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial activities on teaching at universities. Specifically, the study focuses on entrepreneurial activities' effect on professors' time allocation. The dataset analyzed was constructed from the survey conducted by University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998. The sample was drawn from American academic professional associations' members of the four fields: experimental biology, physics, mathematics, and sociology. Based on the data of 133 professors, the study shows that professors with paid consulting work tend to spend less time in teaching when research activities are controlled. Insignificant are the other variables about entrepreneurial activities: patent application, industry funding, and research collaboration with industry. Also, more research time is likely to result in less teaching time. Insignificant are the other research-related variables: research funding at large and collaborative research in general. In terms of personal and institutional conditions, assistant professors tend to invest more time in teaching than senior professors, but they are likely to reduce more time on teaching than their senior counterparts for increasing research time. Finally, biology and sociology professors tend to allocate less time to teaching than physics and mathematics professors. In a word, entrepreneurial activities and research tend to conflict with teaching at the level of individual professors' time allocation.

Text in English with abstracts in English, Afrikaans and Tswana. / Academics in social sciences are increasingly conducting research in multilingual contexts. Researchers in the field of cross-language research agree that issues on the role of translators and translation are often neglected and even omitted in research reports, which may affect the trustworthiness of such a study. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of translators in cross-language qualitative research from the views of master’s and doctoral students who conducted cross-language qualitative research in psychology at a selected South African university. Exploratory qualitative research and methodology were deemed suitable for this study. Key participants were sampled through snowball sampling. Five postgraduates availed themselves to participate. Data were collected by semi-structured e-mail, telephone and/or face-to-face interviews. Semi-structured interviews were audio recorded and transcribed by the researcher after the interviews. As the number of available participants was limited, the researcher also sampled unpublished dissertations (5) and doctoral theses (2) to conduct document analysis. Transcripts were imported into ATLAS.ti™, whereafter the qualitative data were analysed by means of thematic data analysis. Five main themes emerged from the data. Themes from the transcripts as well as notes in the researcher’s reflective journal and relevant literature findings were collated. Finally, a critical discussion was provided. Key participants believed that translators may play a significant role in several stages of a cross-language qualitative study. Participants reported experiencing several translation challenges, namely: language barriers between them and their research participants; difficulty translating subject terminology from English into Afrikaans; and outdated bilingual scientific dictionaries. Findings also revealed that the credentials of the translator hired may have an impact, whether positive or negative, on the translation product. Reasons why translators may be excluded from a cross-language qualitative study were also highlighted. Firstly, although some of the participants reported that translators may be valuable in a cross-language study, all of them strongly asserted that they possessed high language competency, and therefore they deemed the inclusion of translators unnecessary. v It also emerged that qualitative researchers may need to be cognisant of ethical issues that may arise in a cross-language study. Translators may further be excluded as translation may not be suitable for the specific research design (for example, phenomenology). Finally, researchers may not have the financial means to hire translators. None of the key participants reported the language/translation challenges they experienced during their studies and the possible impact it may have had on the methodology or quality of data. They did not deem it an important aspect of their studies. In some of the dissertations and theses sampled, only the mother tongue of participants was often indicated but, in most cases, was discussed very superficially. These researchers mostly mentioned (as part of the biographic information) the language profile of their participants; that the data for that study were collected in either Afrikaans or English; and that the data were translated and analysed. Finally, although some of the sampled research reports were edited by professional language practitioners, translation and grammatical errors were clear throughout in the manuscripts. From this research it was clear that including translators in cross-language qualitative research in psychology is not a common practice in the South African context, and matters relating to translation and how challenges in this regard were dealt with are grossly neglected and mostly omitted in postgraduate research reports. To conclude, limitations of this study were highlighted, and recommendations for future translation research and practice were made. Keywords:; / Navorsing in sosiale wetenskappe word toenemend in veeltalige kontekste uitgevoer. Kruistaal kwalitatiewe navorsers is dit eens dat vraagstukke rondom die rol van vertalers en vertaling gereeld oor die hoof gesien word en selfs in navorsingsverslae uitgelaat word, wat uiteindelik die vetrouenswaardigheid van so ʼn studie mag affekteer. Hierdie studie het ten doel gehad om ondersoek in te stel na die rol van vertalers in kruistaal kwalitatiewe navorsing vanuit die oogpunt van meestersgraad- en doktorale studente wat kruistaal kwalitatiewe navorsing in sielkunde aan ʼn gekose Suid-Afrikaanse universiteit uitgevoer het. Eksploratiewe kwalitatiewe navorsing en metodologie is as geskik geag vir hierdie studie. Sleuteldeelnemers is deur middel van sneeubalsteekproefneming gekies. Vyf nagraadse studente het hulleself beskikbaar gestel om aan die navorsing deel te neem. Data is deur middel van semi-gestruktureerde e-pos-, telefoon- en aangesig-tot-aangesig-onderhoude ingesamel. Die aantal deelnemers wat aan die studie kon deelneem was beperk en daarom het die navorser ook ongepubliseerde verhandelings (5) en proefskrifte (2) ingesamel ten einde dokumentanalise uit te voer. Transkripsies is in ATLAS.ti™ ingevoer, waarna die kwalitatiewe data deur middel van tematiese data-analise ontleed is. Vyf hooftemas het uit die data gespruit. Temas uit die transkripsies sowel as die navorser se notas uit haar reflektiewe joernaal en relevante literatuurbevindinge is saamgevat, waarna ʼn bespreking gevolg het. Sleuteldeelnemers was van mening dat vertalers ʼn belangrike rol kan speel in verskeie fases van ʼn kruistaal kwalitatiewe studie. Volgens deelnemers het hulle verskeie vertaaluitdagings ervaar, naamlik: taalhindernisse tussen hulle (die navorser) en hul navorsingsdeelnemers; uitdagings om vakterminologie van Engels in Afrikaans te vertaal; en verouderde tweetalige vakwoordeboeke. Bevindinge het ook getoon dat die aangestelde vertaler se kwalifikasies ʼn impak mag hê, hetsy positief óf negatief, op die vertaalproduk. Redes waarom vertalers van ʼn kruistaal kwalitatiewe studie uitgesluit kan wees, is ook uitgelig. Ten eerste, hoewel enkele deelnemers meegedeel het dat vertalers in ʼn kruistaal kwalitatiewe studie waardevol kan wees, het alle deelnemers sterk benadruk dat hulle oor hoë taalvaardigheid beskik, en daarom het hulle die insluiting van vertalers in hul studies vii onnodig geag. Dit blyk ook dat kwalitatiewe navorsers bewus moet wees van etiese vraagstukke wat in ʼn kruistaal studie mag onstaan. Vertalers kan voorts uitgesluit word indien vertaling nie geskik is vir die spesifieke navorsingsontwerp nie (byvoorbeeld, fenomenologie). Laastens, navorsers beskik moontlik nie oor die finansiële middele om vertalers aan te stel nie. Geeneen van die sleuteldeelnemers het die taal- of vertaaluitdagings wat hulle in hul studies ervaar het, genoem nie en het ook nie gemeld wat die moontlike impak op die metodologie of kwaliteit van die data mag wees nie. Hulle het dit nie in hulle studies belangrik geag nie. In enkele gekose verhandelings en proefskrifte is die moedertaal van navorsingsdeelnemers in daardie studies aangedui, maar is meestal baie simplisties bespreek. Hierdie navorsers het grotendeels slegs die taalprofiel van hulle deelnemers genoem (as deel van die biografiese inligting); dat data in hulle studies in óf Engels óf Afrikaans ingesamel is; en dat die data vertaal en ontleed is. Laastens, hoewel sommige van die navorsingsverslae deur professionele taalpraktisyns geredigeer is, is vertaal- en grammatiese foute steeds deurgaans in die manuskripte opgemerk. Dit blyk duidelik uit dié navorsing dat die insluiting van vertalers in kruistaal kwalitatiewe navorsing in sielkunde nie algemene praktyk in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks is nie, en sake wat verband hou met vertaling en hoe uitdagings in dié verband hanteer is, word grootliks nagelaat en meestal in nagraadse navorsingsverslae uitgelaat. Ten laaste is beperkings van die studie uitgelig, en aanbevelings is gemaak vir toekomstige vertaalnavorsing en -praktyk. / Batlhatlheledi mo dithutong tsa maaranyana a dikgolagano gareng ga batho ba ba dirang patlisiso ka ga bopuontsi, ba ntse ba oketsega go feta.

The purpose of this qualitative research study employing a cross-case analysis on previous case studies is to better understand the engagement of Latino students in a small number of cultural sensitivity programs and the teaching practices that are factors in the development of their academic achievement. In the traditional infrastructure of public schools, assimilation is built on fundamental values aligned with the U.S. political establishment rather than on the value of adaptation to the demands and conflicts of other cultures. Thus, less-empowered groups are at a disadvantage resulting in subgroups abandoning their ideas and reducing their contributions to human capital. In this study, the focus is alternative programs, specifically programs in which a there is a balance in the learning process between the teacher and student emphasizing the development of enhanced understanding of the cultural contexts an integral part of academic learning for Mexican American students. Also included in the case studies are innovative intervention programs that specifically help students improve academic achievement in Grades 9-12, especially those for students who are Mexican immigrants or of Mexican American ancestry in the state of California. The literature discusses concepts of assimilation, enculturation, oppression, culture capital, and the high and low contexts within the theoretical framework. Empirical literature revealed a deeper understanding of the relationship between Latino student learning styles and the dominant Eurocentric traditional academic culture within classroom practices. In sum, in the cross-case analysis of the 21 case studies, various features emerged across the cases that were categorized into three general themes: (a) alternative interventions, (b) caring, and (c) culturally responsive teaching/pedagogy.

[ES] La presente tesis aborda el estudio de las características que ha tenido el arte del grabado protegido por las Instituciones valencianas, Diputación, Ayuntamiento y Bellas Artes. El hecho de realizar en un mismo corpus de trabajo el estudio de estas tres instituciones se debe a la interrelación que hubo entre todas ellas durante el periodo que abarca este trabajo, que se inicia en 1934 y finaliza en 1982. El planteamiento y el método de trabajo seguido para la realización de esta tesis, fue en primera instancia llevar a cabo la consulta de los Archivos en los que se guardan los documentos, actas, expedientes, ejercicios de oposición, obras premiadas, etc. correspondientes a cada uno de los temas relativos a este estudio. En un segundo paso, localizar la bibliografía correspondiente al periodo que abarca esta investigación. Una vez encuadrado el tema en su Marco Histórico, pasamos a ponernos en contacto con los artistas galardonados, los Catedráticos de Grabado que trabajaron durante este periodo y algunos políticos que participaron activamente en las convocatorias de dichos premios. El objetivo fue recoger el testimonio personal de los protagonistas y, en el caso de los artistas, recabar también los datos correspondientes a su trayectoria artística y profesional para conocer las obras realizadas por ellos durante los años posteriores a la recepción de dichos galardones. Con todo el material gráfico recopilado, hemos aportado una documentación fotográfica realizada expresamente para su inclusión y estudio en el presente trabajo. Una vez localizado y estudiado todo este material, decidimos la construcción final de esta investigación, ordenándola de la siguiente manera: En un primer capítulo situamos brevemente la materia estudiada en su contexto histórico específico, en relación al grabado defendido por las Academias, en especial por la Real Academia de San Carlos de Valencia. El segundo capítulo corresponde al análisis de las dos Cátedras de Grabado de Valencia comprendidas en el periodo estudiado, en él incluimos una extensa documentación de la trayectoria que llevó la primera cátedra hasta la jubilación del responsable de ella y los primeros momentos del nuevo catedrático. El tercer y cuarto capítulo están dedicados al estudio de los galardones y premios concedidos por las Instituciones valencianas. En el primero de estos se tratan las becas de la Diputación, donde llevamos a cabo el análisis tanto de las obras correspondientes a las oposiciones como a las realizadas durante la Pensión, así como también un acercamiento a la trayectoria posterior del pensionado, para dejar constancia de su situación actual. En el capítulo, correspondiente a los Premios Senyera de Grabado (cuarto) realizamos el análisis de las obras premiadas y la posterior evolución de estos artistas hasta la actualidad. Una vez realizada y redactada esta investigación, se han extraido unas conclusiones de cada apartado considerando las particularidades que cada una de las instituciones tienen y las diferencias entre sí. Por último, se incluye un apartado de conclusiones generales que permite dar una visión de conjunto de lo que ha sido el grabado institucional valenciano, objetivo fundamental de este estudio. Está también incluido en este trabajo un apéndice documental donde figuran las fotocopias de las actas, expedientes, etc. que por su importancia consideramos imprescindible y de interés incluirlos para su consulta por los interesados en el tema. / [EN] This thesis deals with the study of the characteristics of the art of engraving protected by the Valencian Institutions, Provincial Council, City Council and San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. The fact of carrying out the study of these three institutions in the same body of work is due to the interrelation that existed between all of them during the period covered by this work, 1934-1982. The approach and the method of work followed for this thesis was, in the first instance to carry out the consultation of the Archives in which the documents, minutes, files, competition exercises, awarded works, prizewinning works, etc., corresponding to each one of the subjects related to this study are kept. In a second step, locate bibliography corresponding to the period covered by this research. Once the subject was framed in its historical framework, we contacted the award-winning artists, the professors of engraving who worked during this period and some politicians who actively participated in the calls for such awards. The purpose of contacting them was to gather their personal testimony and, in the case of the artists, we also collected the data corresponding to their artistic and professional trajectory in order to learn about the works they produced during the years following the receipt of these awards. With all the graphic material collected, we have provided a photographic documentation made specifically for inclusion and study in this work. Once all this material had been located and studied, we went on to carry out the final drafting, ordering it in the following chapters: In a first chapter we briefly situate the matter studied in its specific historical context, in relation to the engraving defended by the Academies, especially by the Royal Academy of San Carlos of Valencia. The second chapter corresponds to the analysis of the two Valencia Engraving Chairs in the period studied, in which we include extensive documentation of the trajectory that led the first chair until the retirement of the head of it and the first moments of the new professor. The third and fourth chapters are dedicated to the study of the awards and prizes granted by the Valencian Institutions. The first of these deals with the scholarships of the Diputación, where we carry out the analysis of both the works corresponding to the competitive examinations and those carried out during the Pension, as well as an approach to the subsequent trajectory of the pensioner, in order to record his current situation. In the chapter corresponding to the Senyera Engraving Awards (fourth), we analyze the award-winning works and the subsequent evolution of these artists up to the present day. Once this research has been carried out, we believe it appropriate to draw some conclusions from each section, considering the particularities of each of the institutions and the differences between them. Finally, we included a section of general conclusions that allows us to give an overall view of what has been the Valencian institutional engraving, fundamental objective of our study. It is also included in this work a documentary appendix where the photocopies of the minutes, files, etc. are included, which due to their importance we consider essential and of interest to include them for consultation by those interested in the subject. / Lita Sáez, F.

Recent calls from progressive, subaltern and postcolonial geopoliticians to move geopolitical scholarship away from its Western ontological bases have argued that more ethnographic studies centred on peripheral and dispossessed geographies need to be undertaken in order to integrate peripheralised agents and agencies in dominant ontologies of geopolitics. This thesis follows these calls. Through empirical data collected during a period of five months of fieldwork undertaken between October 2014 and March 2015, it investigates the ways through which an Indigenous community of the Canadian Arctic, Tulita (located in the Northwest Territories' Sahtu region) represents geopower. It suggests a semiotic reading of these representations in order to take the agency of other-than/more-than-human beings into account. In doing so, it identifies the ontological bases through which geopolitics can be indigenised. Drawing from Dene animist ontologies, it indeed introduces the notion of a place-contingent speculative geopolitics. Two overarching argumentative lines are pursued. First, this thesis contends that geopower operates through metamorphic refashionings of the material forms of, and signs associated with, space and place. Second, it infers from this that through this transformational process, geopower is able to create the conditions for alienating but also transcending experiences and meanings of place to emerge. It argues that this movement between conflictual and progressive understandings is dialectical in nature. In addition to its conceptual suggestions, this thesis makes three empirical contributions. First, it confirms that settler geopolitical narratives of sovereignty assertion in the North cannot be disentangled from capitalist and industrial political-economic processes. Second, it shows that these processes, and the geopolitical visions that subtend them, are materialised in space via the extension of the urban fabric into Indigenous lands. Third, it demonstrates that by assembling space ontologically in particular ways, geopower establishes (and entrenches) a geopolitical distinction between living/sovereign (or governmentalised) spaces and nonliving/bare spaces (or spaces of nothingness).

Síntesis: Desarrolla esta tesis un estudio del escultor Anastasio Martínez Hernández, su taller, su estudio y su labor docente y artística entre 1894 y 1933. Nace en Murcia, estudia en Madrid y su obra se difunde por toda la geografía española y sudamericana. Su repercusión tiene continuidad en numerosas y muy distintas personalidades de artistas, escultores, pintores, arquitectos, que desde 1894 hasta nuestros días, han tenido relación con su obra o su persona, entre ellos cabe destacar a Nicolás Martínez, José Planes, Antonio Garrigós, Clemente Cantos, Anastasio Martínez Valcárcel, Lozano Roca, Dolfo, Blanca Martínez León, Equo6 Arquitectura, Forma, Luz y Color... Objetivos: El objetivo principal de esta tesis es conocer y difundir una parte importante de nuestro patrimonio artístico, especialmente de Murcia. Centrándonos en una recopilación gráfica de la documentación aún existente, referente a la trayectoria artística y la persona del escultor Anastasio Martínez Hernández. Su diversa, amplia y polifacética obra, su ingente labor docente, la constitución de un taller único, sus raíces huertanas y la importancia que llegó a alcanzar en el mundo artístico de su época y el relativo olvido que obtiene actualmente. Su repercusión e influencia en la obra de otros artistas, discípulos directos e indirectos, interesándonos también por la persona. Es decir, un intento de conocer los motivos e influencias que le llevaron a la realización de este tipo de concepciones, la vida que dio lugar a todo este quehacer y a la creación de un taller, que fundó en el centro de Murcia, a espaldas del Teatro Romea en el que tiene lugar una intensa actividad en diversas facetas artísticas y al que tuvieron acceso gran cantidad de artistas, cuya trascendencia nacional e internacional ha quedado reflejada en abundantes obras, revistas y escritos de su época y posteriores. Elementos de la metodología a destacar: Como toda investigación científica, se dedicó un período para establecer el punto de partida y la recopilación de documentación, la mayoría inédita. Posteriormente se centró la búsqueda en las obras a través de diversas fuentes y la consecución de documentos que demostraran la autoría de las obras. Le precedió un trabajo de campo: entrevistas y documentación oral con gente que estuvo relacionada con el escultor o con la documentación, ejecución, conservación o destrucción de alguna de sus obras. Posteriormente se procedió al estudio de su época, del panorama artístico, cultural y social que acontecía a nivel internacional, en España particularmente y de manera específica en Murcia. Finalmente se procedió a la organización de la documentación obtenida con el fin de realizar un análisis de la misma y una profunda reflexión sobre los datos obtenidos para poder desarrollar los objetivos planteados y la obtención de unas conclusiones con las que revisar el grado en que han podido cumplirse o demostrarse los objetivos propuestos inicialmente en la recuperación de la figura de Anastasio Martínez Hernández y su influencia posterior. Resultados logrados:, La aportación de este estudio ha permitido una primera gran recopilación de documentos y testimonios mayoritariamente inéditos, así como el redescubrimiento y revalorización sobre el escultor Anastasio Martínez Hernández, su importancia, su repercusión y la influencia de este sobre otros artistas contemporáneos. Además de su revaloración como artista creador, se ha recogido también la importancia de su estudio-taller como foco de enseñanza y tertulia artística, que supuso una gran influencia en los artistas de su tiempo y posteriormente. Con estos resultados pretenden servir de base para incentivar futuras investigaciones, con nuevos objetivos y sobre otros aspectos que profundicen en la figura polifacética de Anastasio Martínez Hernández. / Martínez León, ML.
