Devenir lecteur des référents culturels dans l'œuvre du poète européen Guillermo Carnero / To become a reader of the cultural references in the work of the european poet Guillermo Carnero

Guillaume, Catherine 16 November 2018 (has links)
Le poète européen Guillermo Carnero, dit ‘novísimo’, publie ses premiers poèmes dans l’Espagne du franquisme tardif des années 70 du siècle dernier et se fait alors connaître du grand public par son oeuvre phare Dibujo de la muerte. Auteur de onze livres, il poursuit l’élaboration de son oeuvres piralaire jusqu’au dernier recueil en date, Carta florentina, publié en 2018, tout en conduisant une carrière universitaire en tant que professeur de littérature à l’université d’Alicante. Souffrant d’une réception souvent figée par les figures de réception imposées de l’historiographie littéraire, la signifiance de cette oeuvre, réputée difficile, ne fut que trop rarement mise en évidence malgré la parution d’essais européens. Or, le poète, lecteur et érudit cosmopolite amoureux des arts et des cultures exprime dans sa poésie une intime relation au monde grâce à une relation dialogique avec le référent culturel, qui y occupe une place centrale en tant qu’axe fondateur autour duquel s’articulent l’expression de l’émotion poétique et la réflexion sur la création. L’hybridité constitutive du tissage de l’insaisissable ordonné de cette oeuvre poétique induit chez le lecteur une réception engagée et une itinérance au sein des univers culturels propres à l’auteur. Ainsi se met en oeuvre la médiation humaniste entre le poète et son lecteur grâce à la prégnance du référent culturel mobilisé pour dire l’intime d’un douloureux rapport au monde. Cette médiation humaniste facteur de connaissance de soiest ici conduite hors de toute recherche d’intertextualité mais laisse place à l’écriture de l’émotion à l’oeuvre, saisie dans l’instantanéité des ambivalences d’une insaisissable voix poématique / The European poet Guillermo Carnero, known as 'novísimo', published his first poems in late Franco's Spain in the 1970s and became known to the general public with his flagship work Dibujode la muerte. Author of eleven books, he continues the development of his spiral work until the latest collection, Carta florentina, published in 2018, while conducting an academic career as a professor of literature at the University of Alicante. Suffering from a reception often frozen by the imposed reception figures of literary historiography, the significance of this work, reputed difficult, was only too rarely highlighted despite the publication of European essays. The poet, reader and cosmopolitan scholar inlove with the arts and cultures, expresses in his poetry an intimate relationship with the world through a dialogical relationship with the cultural referent, which occupies a central place there as a founding axis around which are articulated the expression of poetic emotion and reflection on creation. The hybridity that constitutes the weaving of the elusive order of this poetic work induces in the reader a committed reception and a roaming within the author's own cultural universes. Thus the humanist mediation between the poet and his reader is implemented thanks to the influence of the cultural referentmobilized to express the intimacy of a painful relationship with the world. This humanistic mediation, a factor of self-knowledge, is conducted here without any search for intertextuality but leaves room for the writing of emotion at work, captured in the instantaneity of the ambivalences of an elusive poematic voice.

Pedagogy as dialogue between cultures : exploring halaqah : an Islamic dialogic pedagogy that acts as a vehicle for developing Muslim children's shakhsiyah (personhood, autonomy, identity) in a pluralist society

Ahmed, Farah January 2018 (has links)
This thesis presents an argument for the use of dialogic halaqah to develop the personal autonomy of young Muslims in twenty-first century Britain. It begins by developing a theoretical grounding for Islamic conceptualisations of personal autonomy and dialogic pedagogy. In doing so, it aims to generate dialogue between Islamic and ‘western’ educational traditions, and to clarify the theoretical foundation of halaqah, a traditional Islamic oral pedagogy, that has been adapted to meet the educational needs of Muslim children in contemporary Britain. Dialogic halaqah is daily practice in two independent British Muslim faith-schools, providing a safe space for young Muslims to cumulatively explore challenging issues, in order to facilitate the development of selfhood, hybrid identity and personal autonomy, theorised as shakhsiyah Islamiyah. This thesis examines the relationship between thought, language, and the development of personal autonomy in neo-Ghazalian, Vygotskian and Bakhtinian traditions, and suggests the possibility of understanding shakhsiyah Islamiyah as a dialogical Muslim-self. This theoretical work underpins an empirical study of data generated through dialogic halaqah held with groups of schoolchildren and young people. Using established analytic schemes, data from these sessions are subjected to both thematic and dialogue analyses. Emergent themes relating to autonomy and choice, independent and critical thinking, navigating authority, peer pressure, and choosing to be Muslim are explored. Themes related to halaqah as dialogic pedagogy, whether and how it supports the development of agency, resilience and independent thinking, and teacher and learner roles in halaqah, are examined. Moreover, findings from dialogue analysis, which evaluates the quality of educational dialogue generated within halaqah, that is, participants’ capacity to engage in dialogue with each other, as well as with an imagined secular other, are presented. The quality of the dialogic interactions is evaluated, as is evidence of individual participant’s autonomy in their communicative actions.

Inductive elements in pulpit communication of pentecostal churches / Dissertation

Booysen, Willem Matheus 11 1900 (has links)
Discontent with preaching as mode of communication is the problem statement of this study. The authoritative nature of deductive preaching is mirrored by the exploratory, "discovery nature" of inductive models, emphasizing how dialogical preaching is enhanced by incorporating inductive elements into preaching. Meaning production and levels of meaning were studied, and a hermeneutical model for Pentecostal churches were proposed. Dialogical preaching as attitude and principle as well as method was looked at, and the role of interactive participative communication in the dialogic process was described. Special emphasis was placed on the Parable, the metaphor and narrative preaching as models for inductive preaching, and the development and phases of the "plot" was examined. Bridging models between inductive and deductive styles were explored, while two dialogical tools for preparation of sermons were designed. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / Th.M.

Participatory research with hospital social workers in a primary health care context

Sihlobo, Alice 01 1900 (has links)
We conducted the study to explore and define the role of the social worker in Primary Health Care. The medical care model on its own is viewed as inappropriate for developing countries. We see Primary Health Care as holding the key to improving the health status of the many disadvantaged communities in South Africa. The Primary Health Care approach demands those health care providers, including social workers work collaboratively to provide the best possible services to the communities. Social Work is a profession concerned with the disadvantaged. However, social workers are assigned a very limited role in Primary Health Care. Since participants are concerned about subjective and experiential realities, participatory research was the appropriate research method. The major findings and conclusions were that, social workers have a role in Primary Health Care. They have to be assertive and tell others what is it that they do to find a place in Primary Health Care / Social Work / M.A. (Social Science (Mental Health))

Critical reflective practice : conceptual exploration and model construction

Van Aswegen, Elsie Johanna 06 1900 (has links)
Although it is relatively easy to study and learn about a practice discipline in the safe environment of an academic institution, it is far more complex to make sense of what has been learned when faced with the real world of practice. Practitioners need to think on their feet and have to find new ways of managing complex problems which do not fit directly into the theoretical frameworks learned in a more formal setting. Knowledge of what the various disciplines say is not in itself sufficient, experiential knowledge is necessary. The key to learning in the experiential domain is critical reflective practice and emancipatory learning, which empower practitioners to explicate their implicit theories. If autonomy is the goal of professional education, the key is to help adult learners to distance themselves from their own values and beliefs in order to entertain more abstract modes of perception. The purpose of this inquiry was therefore, to construct a model for facilitation of critical reflective practice, based on thorough analysis of the main concepts (critical thinking and reflection), related viewpoints, models and theories; and the data gathered and analyzed during, the naturalistic inquiry. The inquirer sought to. develop each participant through Socratic & Learning Through Discussion (Dialogical) Technique, Critical Incident Reporting and participation in Critical Reflective Exercises. The constructed model for facilitation of critical reflective practice evolved from empirical observations, intuitive insights of the inquirer and from deductions combining ideas from several fields of inquiry. The model for facilitation of critical reflective practice postulates that practitioners have the inherent potential to change from auto-pilot practice to critical reflective practice. The purpose of the model is the facilitation of heightened awareness of the self, to enable health care professionals to consciously meet community needs and expectations. The desired outcome is transformative intellectuals who will strive to empower others to become critical reflective learners and practitioners. / Health Studies / D.Litt. et Phil. (Nursing Science)

Les instruments psychosociaux de la santé au travail : Le cas des managers de proximité de l’industrie électrique / The psychosocial tools in order to build and maintain health at work : the case of team managers in electric industry

Miossec, Yvon 12 December 2011 (has links)
Cette thèse s’inscrit de manière indirecte dans la problématique des risques psychosociaux. A la demande d’un groupe mondial de l’industrie électrique, nous sommes entré dans la question en renversant le problème. Nous avons étudié les instruments psychosociaux de la santé au travail chez les managers de proximité. Le développement du pouvoir d’agir protège la santé et la formation de nouveaux buts est un organisateur de ce développement. Nous avons donc cherché à comprendre et à expliquer comment de nouveaux buts se forment dans et par les dialogues entre pairs sur le travail. L’analyse de discours a permis d’identifier une opération langagière et deux opérations psychologiques qui concourent au renouvellement des buts d’action : la reprise de discours dans le discours, la différenciation des sources de but et l’institution de liaison entre les activités. Sur la base de ces résultats, nous définissons les conditions que les dialogues entre pairs doivent réunir pour être un instrument de la santé. / This thesis is a contribution to the field of psychosocial risks at work. It reports how, in order to respond to the command of an international corporation of electrics industry, we entered the question of psychosocial risk at work, and how we managed to reverse the question. We ‘ve been studying, in a team managers’ group, the psychosocial tools used in order to build and maintain health at work. in the perspective of Clinic of Activity, we know firstly that the development of « power to act » in activity protects and promotes health at work, and secondly that the creation of new goals is a medium of this development. That is why , in this research project, we aimed to understand the creation process of new goals in activity, and we studied this process in a specific frame : in and by the way of dialogues about work activity among professional peers. Discourse analysis permit to identify three different processes, a language process and two psychological ones, that all participate to a renew of goals. Those processes are : 1) a new iteration, in the discourse, of a verbal statement taken from another discourse ; 2) the differentiation of goal’s origins ; and 3) the elaboration of new links between activities. Those issues allows us to define some of the significant properties of dialogue as a tool for health promotion between peers at work.

Na počátku byl vztah - křesťanské paradigma západní kultury formující obraz člověka v procesu trestního soudnictví / In the beginning, there was a relationship - the Western culture´s Christian paradigm forming the image of man within the process of criminal justice

TÝMOVÁ, Kateřina January 2014 (has links)
The present thesis paper deals - on theoretical level - with the importance and the gradual evolution of dialogicality of man within the context of criminal justice. In Western European cultural environment the image of man as dialogical being has been inspired by the Judeo-Christian tradition, approaching "the man in relationship" as an unlimited and transcendental form of being. In practical terms, a relationship has been perceived as the fundamental precondition in the process of restoration of a man and as an opportunity to re-approach the original absolute form of humanity, which is in harmony with God´s intention. The culturally accepted dialogical image of man has been reflected in shaping the specific form of systems and institutions created by man, including also the system of criminal law and justice, the main objective of which is enforcing justice. In the spirit of that cultural tradition, emphasis is currently laid on protection of and respect for dignity and individual rights and freedoms of man, and, thus, personal participation of the criminal conflict parties in the process of justice is required. Hence, in the persons of the offender and the victim, justice is rather becoming "the justice of dialogue and negotiation" within restorative justice, and it is so within the limits of law so as the participants´ individual needs and interests can be taken care of and obligations resulting from the conflict can be secured, to the maximum possible extent.

No. of bitstreams: 1 JAQUELINE Ferreira dos Reis.pdf: 1260755 bytes, checksum: e32f2e155f149584fd7f5edd82a4116d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-12-16 / The presented research is in line of search Teaching and Learning of Science and Mathematics of Postgraduate Program on Education in Science and Mathematics of Pro- Rectory for Research and Postgraduate Studies (PRPPG) of Federal University of Goiás. The developed study aimed investigate and reflect about the possibilities of articulation in between the mathematic knowledge and social, political, cultural and economic realities, through contextualized activities with aim in to valorize the students life contexts (background) and give voice to your yearnings, hopes and dreams (foreground). The central problem in the research is constituted as follows: can that articulation contribute to a learning with social meanings and culturally contextualized from mathematics, as to a critical reading and aware of the reality surrounding which encourage the student autonomy? Linked to this question, lies the research goal: investigate if the act of seeking meanings to a effective learning of mathematics through contextualized activities in the students sociocultural reality, plus your interests, contributes to that their knowledge be directed to a critical conscience and to a autonomous exercise of citizenship. This study is constituted by a qualitative approach of research, in the context of Ethnomatematics, Critical Mathematics Education and Dialogical Pedagogy-Liberating. The research has been made on public schools of Goiânia city (Goiás state) with a students class which moved from first to second year of high school during the conduct of research, being structured in two phases: Diagnosis (observation in the classroom, sociocultural questionnaire and diagnostic activity) and Pedagogical Intervention (thematic classes and the project The Mathematics and The Professions). The hope is that it comes against to the potential, the development, the curiosity and the creativity of people seeking a less compartmentalized world in areas of knowledge and life practices, looking for a world that can be understood in its diversity through education, valuing experiences, everyday experiences and dreams, recognizing the subject in your space, in your roots, your culture, your knowledges, your desires, to give "voice" and rescue on the students their right to citizenship, in order to have a society with more opportunities and fewer inequalities. / A pesquisa aqui apresentada se insere na linha de pesquisa Ensino e Aprendizagem de Ciências e Matemática, do Programa de Pós-graduação em Educação em Ciências e Matemática, da Pró-reitoria de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação PRPPG, da Universidade Federal de Goiás. O estudo desenvolvido buscou investigar e refletir sobre as possibilidades de articulação entre o conhecimento matemático e realidades sociais, políticas, culturais e econômicas, por meio de atividades contextualizadas que visaram valorizar os contextos de vida dos alunos (background) e dar voz aos seus anseios, esperanças e sonhos (foreground). O problema central de pesquisa se constitui do seguinte modo: a referida articulação pode contribuir para uma aprendizagem com significados social e culturalmente contextualizados da matemática, bem como para uma leitura crítica e consciente da realidade envolvente que favoreça a autonomia do aluno? Interligado a essa questão, situa-se o objetivo geral da pesquisa: investigar se o ato de buscar significados para uma efetiva aprendizagem da Matemática por meio de atividades contextualizadas na realidade sociocultural dos alunos, bem como em seus interesses, contribui para que os seus conhecimentos sejam direcionados rumo a uma consciência crítica e a um exercício autônomo de cidadania. A presente pesquisa se constituiu por uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, na perspectiva da Etnomatemática, da Educação Matemática Crítica e da Pedagogia Dialógico-Libertadora. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma escola pública do município de Goiânia-GO com uma turma de alunos que transitou do primeiro para o segundo ano do Ensino Médio durante a realização da investigação, sendo estruturada em dois momentos: Diagnóstico (observação em sala de aula, questionário sociocultural e atividade diagnóstica) e Intervenção Pedagógica (aulas temáticas e o Projeto A Matemática e as profissões). A esperança que fica vem de encontro ao potencial, ao envolvimento, à curiosidade e à criatividade das pessoas que buscam um mundo menos compartimentado em domínios de conhecimento e em práticas de vida, almejando um mundo que possa ser compreendido em sua diversidade por meio da Educação, valorizando as vivências, experiências cotidianas e sonhos, reconhecendo o sujeito em seu espaço, em suas raízes, sua cultura, seus conhecimentos, seus desejos, para dar voz e resgatar nos alunos seu direito à cidadania, com a finalidade de termos uma sociedade com mais oportunidades e menos desigualdades.
