Malaise dans la civilisation néolibérale : Le discours du néolibéralisme et ses incidences subjectives / The uneasiness in neoliberal civilisation : The discourse of neoliberalism and its subjective impact

Clément, Jérémie 29 September 2018 (has links)
Loin de n’être réduit qu’à un simple système économique, le néolibéralisme est un authentique mode de gouvernement des hommes, et cela selon le seul principe du marché et de son mécanisme universel de la concurrence. Sa doctrine commande l’exercice global du pouvoir politique actuel. Notre début de XXIe siècle est aux prises avec les incidences à long terme de la mise à l’honneur des discours scientifique et capitaliste. À l’heure actuelle, nul n’est censé ignorer la loi du Marché. En diffusant et en imposant la rationalité marchande et entrepreneuriale dans les moindres domaines de l’existence humaine – santé, éducation, justice, monde universitaire, etc. –, le déploiement de l’économie de marché ne se limite plus à des sphères purement commerciales. D’une manière générale, la plus-value guide désormais toutes les économies humaines. La forme « entreprise » et la privatisation deviennent les nouveaux modèles sur lesquels se façonnent les normes de vie et d’existence, de société, mais aussi la norme subjective. L’asservissement politique aux forces du marché marque ainsi l’ensemble du champ social, du pouvoir étatique, aux institutions publiques, et jusqu’à l’individu même. Ce travail de recherche vise à démontrer que la diffusion extensive du discours néolibéral a des incidences sur le lien social et sur la subjectivité. En effet, le sujet divisé du langage s’inscrit toujours dans les discours qui l’environnent, avec un rapport renouvelé à son idéal, à sa jouissance, et à l’Autre. Nous montrerons, par l’examen critique et clinique de ces phénomènes structurants, comment ce sujet voit l’économie de ses valeurs et de son désir conditionnée par la nouvelle norme générale de la vie occidentale qui promet l’objet de jouissance parfait, dans un monde nouveau, plus libre, néo-libéral / Far from being merely a simple economic system, neoliberalism is a genuine mode of government of man, based on the sole and only principle of market guidance with its universal mechanism of competition. Its doctrine commands upon the global exercise of contemporary political power.Our societies are struggling with the long-term impact of the rise to power of the scientific and capitalist discourses. Nowadays, ignoring the laws of the Market is no excuse. Having spread and forced merchant and entrepreneurial rationality into the most remote fields of human existence – health, education, justice, university and others – the deployment of market economy is not limited to purely commercial areas anymore. Quite generally, all of mankind’s economies are now driven by the logic of gain. The enterprise as a form, along with privatisation, have become the new models upon which new norms of living and of existence, all the way down to the subjective norm, are being modeled. Political subservience to the forces of market thus leaves a mark on the whole social field : on State power, on public institutions, and on the individual themselves.The main aim of this research is to demonstrate that the extensive dissemination of the neoliberal discourse is having an impact on social ties and on subjectivity. Indeed, the divided subject of language is still inscribed in their surrounding discourses, with a renewed relation to their ideal, to their enjoyment, and to the Other. Through critical and clinical examination of these structuring processes, we will show how the economy of their values and of their desire is conditioned by the new, general norm of Western life, which promises a perfect object of enjoyment in a new, freer, neoliberal world

THE EFFECT OF MINDFUL LISTENING INSTRUCTION ON LISTENING SENSITIVITY AND ENJOYMENT

Anderson, William Todd 01 January 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Mindful Listening Instruction on Music Listening Sensitivity and Music Listening Enjoyment. The type of mindfulness investigated in this study was of the social-psychological type, which shares both commonalities with and distinctions from meditative mindfulness. Enhanced context awareness, openness to new information, situation in the present, awareness of novel distinctions, and awareness of multiple possible perspectives (cognitive flexibility) are components of social-psychological mindfulness. A pretest-posttest control group design was used for this study. Two different age groups of students were studied: fourth-grade students (N = 42) and undergraduate non-music major college students (N = 48). The fourth-grade participants in this study were selected from an elementary school in a large city in the Northeastern United States. The college students were selected from a large university in the Southeastern United States. Participants were randomized into either the experimental or control group. Gordon’s Intermediate Measures of Music Audiation and Advanced Measures of Music Audiation were used as a pretest for fourth-grade students and college students, respectively. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups. Student demographical information was also collected and reported. The treatment consisted of 10 lessons for fourth-grade students. Five of the 10 lessons were used with the college students. For each age level, participants in both groups, Mindful Listening and Control, received instruction using listening-map-based and non-listening-map-based lessons from the Share the Music textbook series. Students in the Mindful Listening groups also received listening instructions designed to promote mindful listening. Music Listening Sensitivity was measured using the phrasing test from the Sensitivity portion of Gordon’s Music Aptitude Profile (MAP-P), as well as the researcher-created Anderson Test of Music Listening Sensitivity (ATMLS). Music Listening Enjoyment was measured using students’ ratings of their Listening Enjoyment after each lesson on a seven-point Likert-type scale. Results indicated that Mindful Listening Instruction yielded higher scores, which were statistically significant (at α = .05), for Music Listening Sensitivity (as measured by both the ATMLS and the MAP-P) and Music Listening Enjoyment for fourth-grade and college-student participants.

What can entertainment theory say about perceptions of classic versus popular films?

Wang, Pei-Ling, active 21st century 04 September 2014 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to examine individuals’ perceptions of classicness in film experiences. To this end, the paper begins by providing general anecdotal and professional definitions of classicness, and by pointing out the limited explication found in previous academic literature in entertainment. I discuss distinctions between enjoyment and appreciation from previous literature in media psychology. Following this, a study is presented by applying a measure of enjoyment and appreciation adapted from Oliver and Bartsch’s scale (2010) to an online questionnaire in order to understand individuals’ film experiences with both popular (high grossing) and classic (high rating) films. Results indicate that perceptions of classicness are highly associated with appreciation, but unrelated to enjoyment. Additionally, results also provide a negative relation between appreciation and the release-year as well as budget. Discussion focuses on the study’s empirical definition of classicness, as well as the study’s extension of previous research examining the relationship between film popularity, budget, and audience perceptions (Grizzard, Lewis, Lee, & Eden, 2011). / text

De la haine : entre le mythe et la tragédie, figures d’aujourd’hui / Hate : between myth and tragedy, figures today

Zapata Ramos, Claudia 22 September 2014 (has links)
Depuis la nuit des temps, le sujet se pose à lui-même la question de savoir ce qui il est. Chercher une parole pour la haine était une façon de mettre en évidence, au cœur de cette passion (la passion de la haine), l’être parlant, sa fatalité et sa révolte. Les hommes de la Grèce antique ont répondu par le mythe. Dans cette tentative de représenter la question des origines et de l’impossible, ils ont intégré la haine. La haine surgit comme un reste provenant de temps immémoriaux, elle est liée à la rencontre de l’humain avec le langage et, également, au mouvement qui l’éloigne de l’Autre, lieu du langage, pour prendre le risque de devenir sujet du désir. Il s’agit de repérer la haine et ses fonctions dans la subjectivité : cela implique de prendre en compte les façons adoptées par le sujet pour penser et traiter le réel auquel il a affaire. Le mythe et la tragédie, mettant en récit les pires violences (le matricide, l’inceste, le cannibalisme, l’infanticide, le parricide, le meurtre, le massacre), situent une haine qui peut, ainsi que les récits le présentent, se déchaîner si elle n’est pas traitée par le symbolique. Les crimes semblent ignorer l’écoulement des siècles, ils se répètent inlassablement, et la haine reste une compagne constante des positions du sujet face à son destin. Or, si le sujet maintient sa quête d’explication des pulsions destructrices qui l’occupent, et s’il tente toujours d’énoncer comment sa subjectivité se tient avec l’époque qui l’accueille, il ne peut pas faire appel au mythe, ni à un quelconque discours de portée universelle reconnaissant ses solutions singulières pour traiter sa propre altérité. Face à un discours qui cherche à « enterrer » le sujet de la parole, au fondement de la civilisation et du lien social, la littérature et l’art prennent le relais et proposent des représentations susceptibles « d’entourer » la passion haineuse, et de mobiliser le sujet du désir. La psychanalyse répond, de son côté, par la prise en considération des solutions singulières et de la responsabilité éthique, tant du clinicien que de l’analysant, dans leur maintien, leur restauration, leur changement. / Since the dawn of time, the subject has wondered about what he is. Looking for a hate speech was a way to highlight the speaking being, his fate and his rebellion, in the center of this passion (the passion of hate). Men from Ancient Greece responded through myth. In their attempt to represent the question of the origins and of the impossible, they integrated hate. Hate arises like remnants from immemorial time; it is linked to human encounter with language and with movement separating it away from the Other, the place of language, in order to take the risk of becoming the subject of desire. Tracing hate and its functions in subjectivity: this implies to take into account the ways adopted by the subject to think and deal with real. Myth and tragedy, taking into account the worst human violence (matricide, incest, cannibalism, infanticide, parricide, murder, massacre), put into place a hate that can, as tales depict it, lash out if it is not treated by the symbolic. Crimes seem to ignore the flow of centuries and are repeated endlessly, and hate remains a constant companion of the positions of the subject facing his destiny. However, if the subject maintains his quest to explain the destructive impulses that occupy him, and if he always tries to state how his subjectivity is held together with the age in which he lives, he cannot appeal to myth, nor to any speech of universal scope acknowledging his own singular solutions to deal with his own alterity. Facing a discourse attempting to "bury" the subject of speech, at the foundation of civilization and of social ties, literature and art take over and offer performances which can "surround" the hateful passion, and mobilize the subject of desire. Psychoanalysis responds, in turn, by the consideration of singular solutions and ethical responsibility of the clinician and the analysand, in their maintenance, restoration and changes.

L'altérité première, égale mais différente / The prymary otherness, same but different

Malquori, Paola 14 December 2016 (has links)
Notre question de recherche part de l'une des dernières élaborations théoriques de J. Lacan, les formules de la sexuation élaborées pour rendre raison des choix de jouissance des parlêtres. On se demande si les formules de la sexuation peuvent aussi nous éclairer sur la question de l’identification, sur le choix du symptôme, sur le choix d’objet et sur le choix de l’orientation sexuelle, pour interroger les diverses façons des liens entre les parlêtres, liens du couple, couple mère-enfant, mère-fille, homme-femme, ou liens du groupe.On parte de la théorie des pulsions que Lacan developpe à partir de celle de Freud. Lacan soutient depuis toujours la thèse que l’objet ne serait l’objet de la connaissance, chose qu’impliquerait la connaissance par le moi, parce que le sujet de l’inconscient depuis Freud n’est pas le sujet aristotélique, et donc le monde n’est pas conforme ou complaisant à le pensée (Télévision). Le rapport entre S1 et S2, fait surgir le $ que dans sa division perte quelque chose, c’est à dire a. On rappelle le schéma qui montre l’intersection entre Être et Autre qui cause la perte de a. À partir de cette division « a » n’appartient pas ni à l’être ni à l'Autre (S XI). La théorie des quatre discours, est encore une théorisation qui tente d'expliquer la relation entre sujet et objet, ou entre le sujet et la pulsion, qui fait le tour pour attraper l’objet et ainsi le manque. On peut penser la question du sexe étant liée à la question de l’objet a, soit pour le choix du sexe, soit pour le choix du partenaire sexuel. Si on pense à la question du choix du sexe et du choix du partenaire sexuel par rapport à la théorie des quatre discours, nous faisons l’hypothèse que pas tous les sujets arrivent au choix du sexe, en s‘arrêtant parfois au choix du semblant que permet aussi bien de choisir un partenaire. Soit dans la théorie des discours, représentés graphiquement par quatre algorithmes, soit dans le schéma des formules de sexuation, les flèches représentent le mouvement du sujet vers l'Autre ou vers la jouissance. C’est la question que nous avons posée au début et que nous voulons développer au cours de notre recherche : comment le sujet atteint l’objet de sa jouissance, objet qui lui vient de l'Autre. / Our research question starts from one of Lacan's latest theoretical elaborations, the formulas of sexuation elaborated to explain the choice of enjoyment of speaking beings.We ask ourselves whether the formulas of sexuation that Lacan develops after the theory of the discourses and simultaneously to the Borromean knot topology can clarify questions concerning the identification, the choice of sex and sexual orientation. At the same time if they can help us understand the different ways of relationship between speaking beings, differents pair bonds, man-woman, mother-child, mother-daughter or group bonds. We start from the theory of drives that Lacan develops from that of Freud. The dualism of Freud's theory of drives reflects that between subject and object. Lacan has always supported the thesis that the object is not the object of knowledge which implies the ego, because the subject of the unconscious since Freud is not the Aristotelian subject, that’s why the world is not complaisant to thought. Between S1 and S2, raises $ that in this division loose something namely the object a. We recall the schema that shows the intersection between Being and Other that cause the loss of a which, from this division, doesn‘t belong neither to Being nor the Other. The theory of the four discourses is still a theory that attempts to explain the relation between subject and object, or between the subject and the drive that goes around to catch the object in a way that always misses it. We could think the question of sex being linked to the question of the object a, either for the choice of sex or for the choice of the sexual partner. If we consider the question of choice of sex and the choice of the sexual partner related to the theory of the four discourses, we make the hypothesis that not all subjects arrive at the choice of sex, sometimes stopping at the choice of semblance that allows as well to the choice of a partner. Either in the theory of discourses, represented graphically by four algorithms, or in the schema of the formulas of sexuation, the arrows represent the movement of the subject towards the Other or towards the enjoyment. That is the question we posed at the beginning that we want to develop in our research: how the subject reaches the object of his enjoyment, an object that comes to him from the Other.

A Research of Internet Usage and Intelligence Property

Chang, Wei-chih 28 January 2010 (has links)
In recent years, people using information technology more to meet their demand for entertainment. For example, on-line game, MP3, on-line TV, movies and so on, which are belong such technology. The increasing of this demand is accompanied the growth of motivation and behavior of piracy. This study focused on recognize and decision pattern of behavior that downloading unauthorized movies, and tried to join the emotion impact, and, understanding college students¡¦ intention of downloading. The research model of this study based on triangle interaction from Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) and its core ¢w Self-efficacy, and developing questionnaire from literature review. The questionnaire measuring the social cognize and personal belief about the behavior which downloading unauthorized movies, and make up an movie with text and post, in order to engagement into the situation, and measuring the impact of intention. The results showed that the research model based on SCT will explain the detail of motivations and decision making about the intention to illegal downloading of common college students, and verified that emotion have the impact in decision making process. According to result, we recommend the irrational factor to research about piracy. For practice, we recommend the preventive of piracy will not only by viewpoint of ¡§crime¡¨ but also by investigate the motivation of piracy.

Perceptual Responses to High-Intensity Interval Training in Overweight and Sedentary Individuals

Martinez, Nicholas 01 January 2013 (has links)
Contemporary aerobic exercise guidelines comprised of continuous durations and higher intensities have been shown to be effective in the prevention and treatment of risk factors associated with obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has recently been examined as an advantageous protocol for producing more favorable physiological and psychological benefits in comparison to traditional continuous exercise guidelines. The dual-mode model, which examines the dose response relationship between exercise intensity and affective valence, would suggest that exercise performed well above the ventilatory threshold (VT) in the severe domain should result in negative affective valence. Numerous investigations have confirmed the reliability of the dual-mode models ability to predict compromised affective valence in the presence of heavy to severe exercise intensities, but only a small amount of research has examined the efficacy of the dual-mode model during HIIT. However, no research to date has combined HIIT with the dual-mode model's efficacy to predict affective valence in target populations challenged by exercise adherence, such as overweight and sedentary individuals. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the dual-mode model's reliability to predict affective valence for overweight and sedentary individuals performing HIIT. A total of 14 participants (7 male, 7 female) with a mean age of 23 ±; 4 (range = 18-33) and mean BMI of 29 ±; 3 (range = 25-33) completed the study. Each participant completed a ramp maximal exercise test to determine VT and peak power data, which allowed for specific exercise intensities of delta (DT) to be prescribed for experimental trials. Participants were low to moderate risk. The four experimental conditions were all matched for total work: 1) continuous at 10% DT (Continuous-Heavy - CH), 2) 24 times 30-second intervals at 60% DT (Interval-Severe 30 Second - IS30), 3) 12 times 60-second intervals at 60% DT (Interval-Severe 60 Second - IS60), 4) 6 times 120-second intervals at 60% DT (Interval-Severe 120 Second - IS120). The continuous exercise condition was 20 minutes in duration, whereas all interval exercise conditions were 24 minutes in duration. Results indicated that in-task perceptual responses defined, as affective valence and perceived enjoyment were overall more favorable during IS30 and IS60 in comparison to CH and IS120. IS30 was the only experimental condition in which affective valence did not decline significantly (p > 0.05). Ratings of perceived enjoyment were greater at all measured time points during IS60 (p < 0.05) in comparison to CH. The findings of this study suggest that HIIT comprised of 30 and or 60 seconds help to facilitate more favorable perceptual responses of affective valence and perceived enjoyment than continuous exercise and intervals of longer than 60 seconds duration.
