51	La vie musicale à l’Ambassade de France près le Saint-Siège (1724-1791) / Musical life in the French Embassy to the Holy See (1724-1791) / La vita musicale all’ambasciata francese presso la Santa Sede (1724-1791) Berti, Michela 06 December 2010 (has links) L’Ambassade de France à Rome fut, au cours du dix-huitième siècle, l’un des pôles principaux pour l’organisation de fêtes, de mascarades, de conversations, et tout ceci put contribuer à célébrer la gloire et le faste de la monarchie et du « Roi Très-Chrétien ».Cette étude a pour ambition de fournir une large documentation qui permette de comprendre en quelles occasions la musique était convoquée dans le cadre de l’institution française, qui illustre les buts, principalement politiques, de l’utilisation de la musique par les ambassadeurs, qui éclaire les moments, les lieux et les modalités de l’exécution musicale.La partie principale, et la plus intéressante, de ce travail est consacrée aux commandes de musique que les différents ambassadeurs de France près le Saint-Siège passèrent en des occasions particulières liées à la famille royale.Beaucoup plus complexe s’est avérée la reconstitution des événements pour lesquels, sans être directement commandée par les ambassadeurs, la musique était traditionnellement liée aux festivités françaises : c’est le cas des fêtes organisées pour la Saint-Louis, le 25 août, ou pour la Sainte-Lucie, le 13 décembre. En ces deux occasions se déroulaient traditionnellement des fêtes « mécénées », et donc financées, par les ambassadeurs.Durant la période comprise entre 1724 et 1791, les ambassadeurs de France à Rome utilisèrent l’art musical comme miroir grossissant pour leur devoir principal : représenter leur monarque avec un luxe, une magnificence et une générosité extraordinaires, afin d’attirer l’estime et l’admiration de toute la Cour de Rome. / During the 18th century, the French embassy to the Holy See was one of the most important production centres of music, soirée, masquerade and festivity. All this was to celebrate Monarchy's and “Roi Très-Chrétien”'s glory and greatness.The aim of this study is to examine the role of music in French Institutions in Rome during this period. In particular, this study provides large documentation to investigate the events in which the music was performed, the purpose of the use of music during these events and to characterize places, conditions and times of the musical performanceThe main contribution of this study is the analysis of the new music commissioned in honour of the french royal family by the French ambassadors in the Holy See.More complex is the analysis of the events in which music was traditionally “linked” to the french festivities: this is the case of the feasts organized for the 25th August in honor of St. Louis or the 13th December in honour of St. Lucia. In these two occasions festivity was traditionally commissioned by the ambassadors who also sustain the financial costs of the entire celebration.During the period between 1724 and 1791, the ambassadors of France in Rome made use of the musical art to promote themselves and gain appreciation for their principal duty: to represent their king with luxury and extraordinary generosity in order to acquire the consideration appreciation of the entire roman Court.

54	Un exercice de diplomatie chez l'ennemi : l'ambassade de France à Berlin, 1871-1933 / An exercise in diplomacy with the enemy : the french embassy in Berlin 1871-1933 Aballéa, Marion 23 June 2014 (has links) De 1871 à 1933, l’ambassade de France à Berlin fut à la fois ambassade chez l’ennemi et, du point de vue allemand, ambassade de l’ennemi. Rancœurs et méfiances, si ce n’est toujours adversité, dominent les contacts franco-allemands, et les hommes servant la République Française dans l’Allemagne wilhelmienne puis weimarienne doivent faire avec les difficultés, les contradictions et les frustrations d’une mission immergée dans un Berlin peu accueillant, et dont les objectifs diplomatiques paraissent mal définis. Comment exercer le métier de diplomate dans ces conditions ? La thèse s’attelle à répondre à cette question, observant, des cuisines aux bureaux en passant par les salons de réception, le quotidien du microcosme que constitue, six décennies durant, l’hôtel de France sur la Pariser Platz. Autour des enjeux de l’affrontement, du contournement et du rapprochement, elle interroge le sens, la finalité, les possibilités et les limites d’une diplomatie de résidence en terrain hostile. / Between 1871 and 1933, the French embassy in Berlin was, seen from France, an embassy sent to the main enemy, and, seen from Germany, the nest of the main enemy in Berlin. Mistrust was the ground principle of the relationship between Paris and Berlin, forcing those representing France in imperial and Weimar Germany to face the obstacles, contradictions and frustrations resulting from a diplomatic mission in an unwelcoming city, and whose goals were not clearly stated. How, in these circumstances, can diplomacy be practiced on a daily basis? Our work aims at answering the question, wandering through the kitchens, the offices as well as the ballroom of the embassy, trying to figure out what the daily life of the French microcosm on the Pariser Platz looked like. Emphasizing how the embassy was, at the same time, confronting French-German rivalry, working around and trying to overcome it, the study sheds light on the meaning, the purpose, the possibilities and the limits of residence diplomacy on hostile ground.

56	School and social integration of adolescents residing in Athens Rerak, Monika Barbara 19 May 2011 (has links) The concept of social integration has gained prominence in the social and policy debates all over the Europe. Children of immigrants, constituting a significant percentage of modern population of European Union, go through some demanding changes in their processes of social and school integration. As the number of immigrants in Greece is growing, it is of high importance to identify, examine, and understand problems that young immigrants living in this country might have. Our research investigates social and school integration of adolescents’ from Polish immigration families residing in Athens, Greece. By this project we wish to build and advance beyond the current research and contribute to existing knowledge in the field of social integration. The study is based on a qualitative research method relying on semi-structured, in–depth interviews with 12 young respondents from Greek and Polish high schools in Athens. The results indicate that the level of social integration of adolescent Poles is various and depends on the school that young people attend extracurricular activities they participate in, social networks within Greek population, parents’ socioeconomic status and Greek language competency. In case of respondents from the Group of Polish schools at Polish Embassy in Athens observed level of integration was lower, than in the group of pupils from Greek schools. / Η έννοια της κοινωνικής ένταξης έχει κερδίσει εξέχουσα θέση στις κοινωνικές και πολιτικές αντιπαραθέσεις σε όλη την Ευρώπη. Τα παιδιά των μεταναστών, που αποτελούν ένα σημαντικό ποσοστό του σύγχρονου πληθυσμού της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, υφίστανται σε ορισμένες απαιτητικές αλλαγές κατά την κοινωνική και σχολική τους ένταξη. Καθώς ο αριθμός των μεταναστών στην Ελλάδα αυξάνεται, είναι υψηλής σημασίας ο εντοπισμός, η εξέταση, και η κατανόηση των προβλημάτων που αντιμετωπίζουν οι νέοι μετανάστες που ζουν στη χώρα αυτή. Η έρευνά μας διερευνά την κοινωνική και σχολική ένταξη των εφήβων που προέρχονται από πολωνικές οικογένειες μεταναστών, οι οποίες κατοικούν στην πρωτεύουσα της Ελλάδας, Αθήνα. Στην παρούσα μελέτη προσπαθούμε να οικοδομήσουμε και να προωθήσουμε την έρευνα και να συμβάλουμε στην υπάρχουσα γνώση, στον τομέα της κοινωνικής ένταξης. Η μελέτη βασίζεται σε μια ποιοτική μέθοδο έρευνας η οποία στηρίζεται σε ημι-δομημένες, λεπτομερείς συνεντεύξεις 12 νέων ερωτηθέντων από ελληνικά και πολωνικά γυμνάσια στην Αθήνα. Τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι ο βαθμός της κοινωνικής ένταξης των εφήβων Πολωνών διαφέρει από άτομο σε άτομο και εξαρτάται από: το σχολείο, το οποίο οι νέοι συμμετέχουν, τις εξωσχολικές δραστηριότητες στις οποίες συμμετέχουν, τα κοινωνικά δίκτυα στον ελληνικό πληθυσμό, την κοινωνικo-οικονομική κατάσταση των γονέων τους και την ευχέρεια τους στην χρήση της ελληνικής γλώσσας. Στην περίπτωση των ερωτηθέντων από το συγκρότημα των πολωνικών σχολείων στην πολωνική πρεσβεία στην Αθήνα, παρατηρήθηκε ότι το επίπεδο της ένταξης τους ήταν χαμηλότερο, συγκριτικά με την ομάδα των μαθητών που προέρχονταν από ελληνικά σχολεία.

59	Češi na Kubě v širším kontextu vzájemných vztahů / Czechs on Cuba in the Wider Context of Mutual Relations Kráčmarová, Kateřina January 2021 (has links) The work studies a very specific period of the Czech-Cuban relations: the period of World War II and the Czechoslovakian refugees in Havana. For its creation, materials from two archives were used: the Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, the so-called "London Archive" which keeps the documentation of the Czechoslovak government in exile, and the National Archive of Cuba. In the first half of the 20th century, Cuba was not for the Czech society a distant country on the other side of the world. It was its partner and competitor on the world sugar market, and the echoes of Cuban independence were still fresh in its memory. The young Czechoslovak republic was looking for markets for its industrial and consumer products, while Cuban exports generally did not exceed a few dozen tons of unroasted coffee. In the inter-war period, some 20 Czechs and Slovaks were living in Cuba. The Munich Treaty, the occupation and then the application of the Nuremberg Laws created an atmosphere of suffocation and drastically reduced the living space for the Jewish population in the occupied territory of Czechoslovakia. Many decided to leave their homeland, but the world around them was unwilling to receive larger numbers of Jewish refugees. The original idea of getting to a safe place beyond...
60	Transparency and learning spaces Finau, Emily 08 April 2011 (has links) This thesis explores the various meanings and implications of transparency in architecture and in learning environments in particular. Architectural transparency, achieved through choice of materials and principles of formal composition, creates a diversity of relationships and can facilitate visual, conceptual, and functional clarity as well as offering simultaneous perception of different spaces. It offers a range of phenomenological qualities and so provides an opportunity to explore and complicate such dichotomies as translucency and opacity, openness and closure, and public space and private space. While celebrated throughout modern and contemporary architecture, transparency raises issues of privacy and safety even as it breaks down hierarchies and social boundaries. The research-based design of transparency in a school building necessitates careful planning to achieve a balance between the access to views, natural light, fresh air, and social interaction that transparency may bring and the continuing obligation to provide a safe, secure environment for schoolchildren.
