Microfinance in Algeria, Tunisia, and LebanonChamberlain, Elaine 01 May 2015 (has links)
In theory, microfinance is a system of decentralized bankers lending to the poor in order to improve economic systems and emphasize entrepreneurial development. Specifically, within the Middle East and North Africa region, the poor economic performances have been closely linked to poor savings and investments. This thesis explores the various factors which affect the microfinance sector in three countries in the Middle East and North Africa region: Algeria, Tunisia, and Lebanon. Algeria, Tunisia, and Lebanon, have similar cultural and political histories that could potentially affect the development of microfinance within the state. Microfinance institutes aim at economic improvements, but the success of microfinance is contingent on different factors in disparate countries. For this reason, focusing on these particular former French countries make it possible to assess if the history and government policies of a country have an impact on the extent to which microfinance is incorporated in the alleviation of poverty.

Empire of Illusion: The Rise and Fall of Hashish in Nineteenth-Century FranceGuba, David Alan January 2018 (has links)
By exploring the history of cannabis in the French Empire, this dissertation builds on recent scholarly efforts to investigate the intersections of France’s national and imperial pasts. As scholar Gary Wilder argued in his seminal work, The French Imperial Nation-State (2005), “French historiography is traditionally guided by a national paradigm for which a correspondence between territory, population, and state is considered normal and the existence of colonies is treated as exceptional.” This fabricated barrier between France’s national and imperial pasts, he argues, conceals the reality that “the metropole and its overseas colonies exercised a reciprocal influence upon one another” and that both should be studied as one political and cultural unit, as what he terms the “imperial nation-state.” As this dissertation demonstrates, the history of drug use and prohibition in France is in large part a story of movement between colony and metropole. From the nation’s first imperial encounter with hashish during Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 through the subsequent spread of cannabis use and cannabis-based medications in the French metropole during the middle 19th century to the creation of anti-cannabis laws in France and its North African colonies during the fin de siècle, the circulation of cannabis and ideas about cannabis use between colony and metropole drove the development of prohibition policies in France from the birth of the republic through the early 20th century / History

Lichenological exploration of Algeria: historical overview and annotated bibliography, 1799-2013Amrani, S., Nacer, A., Noureddine, N.E., Seaward, Mark R.D. 20 February 2015 (has links)
Yes / Despite more than two centuries of almost uninterrupted surveys and studies of Algerian lichenology, the history and lichen diversity of Algeria are still poorly understood. During the preparation of a forthcoming checklist of Algerian lichens it was considered necessary to provide the present historical overview of lichenological exploration of the country from 1799 to 2013, supported by a reasonably comprehensive annotated bibliography of 171 titles.

Le lyrisme face à l’événement : étude comparée des poésies francophones du Maghreb et du Machrek : (Algérie, Liban, 1950-1990) / Lyricism in front of event : a comparative study of Maghreb’s and Machrek’s francophone poetry : (Algeria, Lebanon, 1950-1990)Valfort, Blandine 13 September 2013 (has links)
Dans les deux aires qui se présentent comme le Levant et le Couchant d’un même monde arabe – le Machrek et le Maghreb –, des poètes ont choisi la langue française pour réagir à certains événements de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle tels que la guerre d’Algérie, la guerre des Six Jours et la guerre civile du Liban. L’étude des recueils algériens et libanais qui ont été composés entre 1950 et 1990 permet d’envisager le rapport culturel, idéologique et esthétique de ces deux régions en adoptant une approche comparative différentielle. Le choix du français – dont les enjeux sont évidemment très différents dans ces deux aires – soulève des questions identitaires qui méritent d’être analysées et favorise l’expression d’un métissage culturel. Ce corpus poétique permet aussi de réexaminer les liens entre l’Histoire et l’intime, car l'événement, indissociable des problématiques collectives qu’il soulève, est réinterprété par la voix lyrique. Il ne se contente pas de créer une esthétique du chant redécouvert, ni d’offrir un éventail thématique à la mesure des drames qu’il entraîne. Il suscite surtout un parcours énonciatif, étroitement lié au travail du poème. À travers le lyrisme, l’événement historique ouvre la voie/-x de l’intime qui révèle les différentes strates du questionnement identitaire et lui donne une portée universelle. Le sujet n’est plus absorbé dans un collectif renforcé par les circonstances, il ne se définit plus uniquement à travers l’opposition dichotomique à l’altérité ; grâce à l’adresse lyrique, on assiste à l’avènement simultané d’un je et d’un tu qui, sans rien renier du conflit, en subsument les enjeux. / In both areas which stand for the East and the West of the same Arab world – Maghreb and Mashreq –, some poets have chosen the French language to react to certain events of the second half of the twentieth century, as the Algerian War, the Six Days War and the Lebanese Civil War. By studying Algerian and Lebanese collections of poetry written between 1950 and 1990, we can consider the cultural, ideological and esthetical relationship of these two areas adopting a differential comparative approach. The choice of French – whose issues are very different in both areas – raises questions of identity that must be analyzed and promotes the expression of a cultural mixture. Through this poetic corpus, we can reconsider the relationship between history and intimacy because the event, inseparable from collective issues, is reinterpreted by the lyric voice. Not only does it create a rediscovered aesthetic of singing nor only provides a thematic range representative of dramas it causes. It raises an enunciative course closely linked to the poetic process. Through lyricism, historical event opens the way to intimacy which reveals the different layers of questioning identity and gives it a universal dimension. The subject is no longer absorbed into a collective reinforced by the circumstances, it is no longer defined only through the dichotomous opposition to otherness; thanks to the lyrical address, we are witnessing the simultaneous advent of “I” and “you” that, without denying the conflict, subsume its issues.

La construction d'un espace social au féminin par les mobilités quotidiennes : le cas du nord-ouest algérien / The construction of female social space though daily mobility : the case of Nord West AlgeriaCollot, Jacques 09 March 2016 (has links)
La présente thèse traite de l'appropriation de l'espace public par les femmes algériennes vu à travers le prisme des mobilités quotidiennes du nord-ouest algérien ; avec en filigrane, les stratégies de contournement des rigidités du quotidien et qui aboutissent à la création d’un espace social au féminin. Jusqu'à la fin des années noires, la place des Algériennes dans l'espace public n'était pas une évidence ; elle l'est devenue à présent, même si elle est encore contestée par certains. Il apparaît très clairement que les transports de voyageurs ont été l'un des vecteurs de l'émancipation féminine, nous entendons ici : le droit à l'égalité sociale. Son dynamisme, allié à une offre plus adaptée aux besoins, a facilité l'accès aux ressources émancipatrices : éducation, travail, vie associative, démarches de toute nature. Bien que son impact reste en général méconnu, tant sur le plan statistique que sociologique, il représente pour des millions de femmes le moyen de s'affranchir spatialement du carcan patriarcal. Certes, il n'en est que l'un des facteurs, mais sans son dynamisme, il y aurait eu un goulot d'étranglement social, dans une région où les déplacements pédestres sont limités par la faiblesse des aménagements piétons ainsi que par les contraintes climatiques. Quant aux trajets féminins en deux roues, ils sont quasiment inexistants pour des raisons culturelles. Bien que les Algériennes soient de plus en plus nombreuses à passer leur permis de conduire, elles sont encore très peu à se déplacer régulièrement seule au volant d’une voiture. C’est pourquoi nous avons considéré le transport de voyageurs comme « un fil conducteur » qui nous a permis d'observer les différentes facettes de la place des femmes dans l'espace public algérien. A partir des wilayas du nord-ouest algérien, nous examinerons la condition des femmes dans l’espace public. Quelle est la véritable conséquence des mobilités féminines sur l'évolution de la place des femmes dans la société algérienne ? Cette assise communautaire nouvelle, si improbable quelques années auparavant, peut-elle constituer une étape vers une métamorphose sociale plus profonde ? / The present thesis is about the appropriation of public space by Algerian women, as seen through the prism of their daily mobility in the north western region of Algeria ; with, just beneath the surface, the strategies of skirting round day to day living restraints which lead to the creation of a social space for women.Until the end of the « dark years », Algerian women’s place in public was not obvious; it is now, even if questioned by many. It appears very clearly that public transport was one of the vectors for women’s emancipation, meaning in this context: the right to social equality. Its dynamism, combined with an offer more adapted to people’s needs, made access to emancipating resources easier: education, work, community life, initiatives of all kinds. Although its impact remains generally unknown, from a statistical or sociological point of view, it represents for millions of women a way to liberate themselves from patriarchal shackles. Indeed, it is only one factor among others, but without its dynamism, there would have been a social bottleneck. In a region where journies on foot are limited by poor pedestrian facilities and climatic conditions. As to journies on two wheels, they are practically inexistent for cultural reasons. Even though more and more Algerian women arepassing their driving test, there are still relatively few using this means of transport.Starting with north-western Algerian « wilaya », we will examine the condition of women in public transport. What are the real consequences of women’s mobility on the evolution of their status in Algerian society ? Could this new community basis, completely unforeseeable a few years ago, constitute a step towards deeper social change ?
