Les mouvements nationalistes flamands et québécois divergent en concernant leur structure; par exemple le nationalisme flamand s'est développé comme un mouvement chrétien-démocrate, alors que le nationalisme québécois contemporain s’est galvanisé autour d'une idéologie laïque de gauche. Par ailleurs, il existe un contraste entre les poids sociodémographique, politique et économique portés par la région de Flandres en Belgique, et ceux portés dans la province du Québec au Canada. Cependant, malgré les influences divergentes structurelles et systémiques, les mouvements nationalistes flamand et québécois ont développé et maintenu des profils très similaires. Par exemple, les deux mouvements nationalistes se définissent par une distinction ethnolinguistique, les deux ont un discours nationaliste parallèle axé sur la nécessité de préserver et de protéger la langue et la culture de la communauté nationale, et les deux se concentrent sur l'obtention d'une redistribution des pouvoirs culturels et politiques. Dans ce mémoire, nous proposons que le profil nationaliste ressemblant du mouvement nationaliste flamand et québécois puisse être expliqué par le développement d'un « nationalisme ethnolinguistique de contestation », qui était initialement mis en place par les nationalistes flamands et québécois cherchant à corriger les effets d'une « division culturelle du travail ». Ce sentiment d’un nationalisme de contestation ethnolinguistique est instrumentalisé et perpétué par les nationalistes flamands et québécois en évoquant certains « souvenirs partagés », qui sont trouvés dans le récit historique de la communauté nationale. Ces souvenirs partagés, ainsi que leurs représentations symboliques, reflètent les sentiments de protestation, injustice et victimisation, qui sont vitaux pour les nationalistes flamands et québécois dans le maintien de leur expression parallèlement à un nationalisme de contestation ethnolinguistique en Flandres et au Québec. / The Flemish and Québécois nationalist movements diverge in terms of their structural nature; for example, Flemish nationalism developed as a Christian democratic movement, whereas contemporary Québécois nationalism was galvanized around a secular-leftist ideology. There is also a significant contrast in the socio-demographic, economic, and political realities of Flanders in Belgium compared to those of Québec in Canada. However, despite the differing influences on the Flemish and Québécois nationalist movements, they have developed and maintained very similar nationalist profiles. Both nationalist movements are defined by a sense of ethno-linguistic distinctness, both have a paralleling nationalist discourse focused on the need to preserve and protect the language and culture of the national community, and both have been focused on obtaining a redistribution of cultural and political power through constructing an alternative political structure from that of the federal state. This thesis proposes that the mirroring nationalist profiles of the Flemish and Québécois nationalist movements can be traced to the development of a similar type of ethno-linguistic nationalism of protest, which was initially established by nationalists wanting to rectify the effects of a linguistically based ‘cultural division of labour’. As a means of instrumentalizing and perpetuating this sense of ethno-linguistic nationalism of protest, both Flemish and Québécois nationalists have relied on evocating and shaping key ‘shared memories’ found within the historical narrative of the national community. These shared memories, as well as their symbolic representations, reflect sentiments of struggle, injustice, and victimization, and have been vital for Flemish and Québécois nationalists in maintaining their paralleling expressions of an ethno-linguistic nationalism of protest in Flanders and in Québec.

Les grilles de lecture classiques sur la trajectoire sociopolitique du continent africain sont souvent pessimistes. Elles semblent avoir de beaux jours devant elles puisque l’histoire contemporaine montre une Afrique perpétuellement instable politiquement, traversée par des guerres civiles et des démocraties émergentes sous tension à l’approche des élections.Ce travail invite à une réflexion et une perspective scientifique alternatives, autour d’un pays comme le Bénin. Depuis son indépendance, il n’a pas connu la violence létale, facteur d’un état social « chaotique et pathologique » entraînant un gros volume de destructions et de catastrophes, pour les biens comme pour les individus. Cette thèse relie et articule plusieurs points : l’imaginaire collectif, la relation à l’autre, l’idée que les habitants ont de l’appartenance à un ensemble nommé Bénin, les symboles à l’actif du pays, le travail de socialisation à une communauté de sens et le processus de pacification. Les tensions d’un niveau infra-létal existent mais restent jusqu’à présent contenues. Elles sont les contingences de la construction d’une société politique et traversent certaines étapes de son histoire sociopolitique.Notre démarche théorique favorise une réflexion globale autour de l’interaction entre la double altérité ‒ on est toujours un "autre" pour "l'autre" ‒ et la question de la paix, principalement à l’intérieur d’un pays comme le Bénin. Les profils identitaires ne sont jamais les mêmes à travers le temps et l’espace. Mais au-delà des écarts différentiels, le fait qu’un espace favorise l’émergence des identités collectivement partagées rend probable tout processus de pacification. Dans la mise en œuvre de celui-ci, l’idée du Bénin devient ainsi plus forte que le Bénin lui-même, entité d’abord voire surtout substantielle. Les Béninois ne sont pas en paix parce qu’ils auraient nécessairement la même couleur de peau, la même histoire, une langue commune. Pour nous, même en l’absence de ces trois critères, la paix reste accessible. Pour le démontrer, trois années sur le « terrain » (2007-2010) ont constitué le temps fort de la recherche empirique. Nous avons mené une centaine d’entretiens et réalisé des focus group au sein des communautés où la question de l’identité partagée est mise à l’épreuve quotidiennement. Cette étude doctorale est ainsi un compte rendu des résultats obtenus et des analyses proposées. / Classical perspectives on the socio-political trajectory of the African continent are often pessimist. They will mostly remain so for some time to as contemporary history reveals a continent continually riddled with political instability and wracked by civil wars, whilst emerging democracies are subjected to tensions at the onset of elections. This work offers a reflection and an alternative scientific perspective by focusing on Benin. Since its Independence, Benin has not experienced lethal violence or pathological social chaos causing immense destruction and disaster. This thesis addresses and links several issues: a collective memory, relationships to other people, the idea that residents belong to a unity called Benin; the existence of symbols that benefit national consciousness; socialization aimed at achieving a sense of community; and a peace process. Tensions were at low lethality levels were present and still exist but have so far been limited. They characterize the contingent stages of a political society and its political history.Our theoretical approach privileges a general reflection on: the interaction between duality and otherness – there is always on “other” for an “other” – and the issue of peace; here (within a country), and elsewhere (abroad). Identity profiles are never the same across time and space. But beyond various differences, the fact that space promotes the emergence of collectively shared identities possibly contributes to the peace process. During the implementation of the peace process, the idea of Benin becomes stronger than Benin itself; an entity which is, first of all, substantive in nature. The Beninese are not in peace just because they have the same skin colour, the same history or a common language. Three years of field research (2007 – 2010) constituted the most important period of the empirical research that was used to demonstrate this. About a hundred interviews were conducted and focus group discussions were held within communities where the issue of shared identity was a daily problem. This doctoral study is therefore an account of results obtained and proposed analyses.

Contextes différents en matière d’histoire et de temporalité migratoires, la France et la Catalogne en Espagne proposent un traitement politique relativement opposé des particularismes. Cette thèse s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux effets de l’ethnoracialisation des populations européennes sur les relations entre habitants des villes moyennes mélangées. Dans les deux pays étudiés, on constate une forme d’homogénéisation dans la pratique quotidienne de l’ethnicité des habitants. L’ethnoracialisation participe à reconfigurer les espaces urbains des villes moyennes, notamment à travers la constitution de centralités minoritaires. Or ces aires urbaines accélèrent l’imbrication des logiques ethniques et racisantes. Ce sont des espaces d’entre-soi, investis par les habitants originaires du Maghreb et ils matérialisent une frontière visible entre les groupes dans la ville. Egalement objet de stigmatisation et de contournements, les centralités minoritaires sont le lieu privilégié d’expression de tensions ethnoraciales dans la ville. Elles génèrent de l’insécurité urbaine qui facilite les processus de différenciation ethnoraciale et les amalgames sur les minorités. Les stéréotypes sur les originaires du Maghreb sont ainsi façonnés par l’expérience urbaine, l’histoire et le cadre national et le contexte plus global : on assiste à l’adoption commune de modalités de traitement des marqueurs ethnoraciaux, sous la rhétorique des civilisations. La peur des différences ethnoraciales justifie alors la naturalisation et la banalité du racisme et pour se dégager des assignations, les minorités usent d’un ensemble de stratégies de dépassement et de résistance au stigmate. / With different historical contexts and migration temporalities, France and the region of Catalogna in Spain apply relatively opposing policies concerning specificities. This PhD thesis focuses more specifically on the effects of the ethno-racialization of the European populations on the relations between people in mixed medium sized cities. In the two studied countries, we can witness a certain homogenization in the everyday practice of ethnicity of the inhabitants. The ethno-racialization contributes to the reconfiguration the urban spaces of medium-size cities, in particular through the establishment of minority centralities. But the urban areas speed up the intertwining of ethnic and racializing logics. These are spaces of self-segregation, invested by population from the Maghreb and it materializes a visible border between the groups within the city. Also subject to stigmatization and bypasses, the minority centralities have become places of ethnoracial tensions in the city. This creates urban insecurities which favours the process of ethno-racial differentiation as well as assimilating them to minorities. The stereotypes about people of Maghrebian origins are thus created through urban experience, History and the national scope, and the more global context : we can witness the common adoption of the use of ethno-racial markers, behind the rhetoric of civilizations. The fear of ethnoracial differences then justifies the normalization and banalization of racism and to escape these designations, the minorities use a numbers of strategies to surpass themselves and to resist the stigmatization.

D. Tech. (Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Applied and Computer Sciences)|, Vaal University of Technology. / Medicinal plants provide valuable alternative sources of drugs and drug discovery because many have been used in traditional practices for centuries to manage or treat various forms of ailments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological activities of nine medicinal plants used by Zulus in Mabandla village, KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa to treat inflammation and to isolate selected active compounds against studied pathogens from Alepidea amatymbica and Pomaria sandersonii. The plants were selected on the basis of an ethnobotanical survey based on questionnaire response and verbal interviews that were conducted in Mabandla village with the local traditional healers and herbalists. The isolation of compounds from Alepidea amatymbica and Pomaria sandersonii was based on the bioassay based study which was carried out in this study. Bioassay guided study involving in vitro anti-inflammatory measurement using soya bean derived 15 Lipoxygenase, free radical scavenging capacity against the ABTS●+ radical cation and DPPH● radicals; antimicrobial and bioautography assays against Staphylococcus aureus, ATCC 29213, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Escherichia coli, ATCC25922, Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans and Aspergillus fumigatus were carried out using the plants extracts, fractions and pure compounds. Isolation of compounds displaying biological activity was carried out by using open column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography (PTLC). The compounds were characterised by use of Nuclear Magnetic resonance, (NMR) and Mass Spectrometry (MS). The DPPH sprayed TLC showed that all the nine plants contained antioxidants. Most of which were contained in polar fractions of acetone and methanol. Results of the assays displayed a range of biological activities comparable to the positive controls used for each assay. DPPH● scavenging displayed EC50 values ranging between 1.008 and 467 Kg/ml. The highest activity was observed with the methanol fraction of Berkheya setifera with an EC50 value of 1.008 Kg/ml followed by the crude extract of Gunnera perpensa with EC50 value of 1.069 Kg/ml. Carissa bispinosa hexane fraction had the lowest activity of 467.7 Kg/ml. The Pomaria sandersonii DCM extract had the highest ABTS●+ radical scavenging activity by Pomaria sandersonii DCM extract, (1.273 Kg/ml) for the ethyl acetate, (5.973 Kg/ml) while the hexane fraction from Eucomis autumnalis had the lowest activity (929.4 Kg/ml). The activity of Pomaria sandersonii extracts and fractions demonstrated that the plant contains antioxidants that react with both DPPH and ABTS radicals although higher activities were shown by ABTS as displayed by the lower EC50 values. All the crude fractions and extracts had high to moderate antibacterial activities (20-625 Kg/ml) and anti-fungal activities (20-2500 Kg /ml). Pomaria sandersonii crude and fractions had the highest antimicrobial activity compared to other plants. Some MIC values for P. sandersonii dichloromethane and ethyl acetate fractions (80 Kg/ml in each case) compared well with gentamycin (4 Kg/ml) since they showed same values against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudonomus aeruginosa. The dichloromethane, acetone and methanol fractions were also active (20 Kg/ml) against both Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Inhibition of pathogen growth demonstrated by the polar fractions of the studied plants suggested that some of the active compounds would be soluble in water. A total of seven compounds were isolated from Alepidea amatymbica and Pomaria sandersonii. We propose three were new compounds after considering literature search involving closely related research to this investigation. These were two diterpenes from Alepidea amatymbica, namely, 14-acetoxo-12-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid labelled as 0657 and 16-hydroxy-kaur-6-en-19-oic acid given the label 06-2 in this study. The third suspected new compound is the chalcone dimer, which is referred to as EM86 in this study from Pomaria sandersonii. EM80-2 was obtained as a mixture of the cis and trans of 2’, 4, 4,’-trihydroxychalcone or 1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one, from Pomaria sandersonii. The three diterpenes, 14-acetoxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid (0652), 13-hydroxy-16-kauren-19-oic acid (06B) and 14-oxokaur-16-en-19-oic acid (06431) were isolated from Alepidea amatymbica for the first time. Isolated compounds were further tested as individual compounds and results showed that 16-hydroxy-kaur-6-en-19-oic acid (06-2) had weak activity against tested bacteria and fungi with the MIC: Staphylococcus aureus (320 Kg/ml) and Candida albicans, (320 Kg/ml). On the other hand 13-hydroxy-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (06B) was more active against, Staphylococcus aureus (160 Kg/ml) and Aspergillus fumigatus (40 Kg/ml). The yellow compound that was isolated from Pomaria sandersonii, 1-(2, 4-ihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one was antimicrobial with the following MICs: Candida albicans: 80 Kg/ml; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus: 160 Kg/ml and Aspergillus fumigatus: 625 Kg/ml. There were two mixtures referred to as EM 49 and EM 77 from Pomaria sandersonii which were difficult to purify but had anti-microbial inhibitory activities worth reporting. EM49 had MIC against Candida albicans of: 160μg/ml; Pseudomonas aeruginosa: 320 Kg/ml, Escherichia coli: 80μg/ml, Enterococcus faecalis 80μg/ml, and Staphylococcus aureus: 80μg/ml and Aspergillus fumigatus: 320μg/ml. EM 77 had MIC against Escherichia coli: 80 Kg/ml and Cryptococcus neoformans: 80μg/ml. Further work on their purification need to be done since in this research we are just reporting on their high MIC activities. The medicinal plants used to treat inflammation under different disease conditions in the Zulu community of Mabandla village, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa have some relevant biological activities. The various antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities support the validity of their healing capacities that the traditional healers of the community claim to possess. Although there is evidence of good antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities by the crude extracts, the high levels of sucrose in P. prunelloides and glucose in G. perpensa should be borne in mind when using their decoctions in traditional medicine particularly by diabetic patients. In vitro results for the antioxidant, antinflammtory and antimicrobial activities carried out in this investigation illustrate that the plants can be a source of treatment and management for inflammation related conditions. These therefore justify their use in Zulu traditional medicine. However, in vivo assays should be carried out in order to completely validate claims by the traditional healers that they treat inflammation related conditions. / Vaal University of Technology

本篇論文以高步侗族村寨為研究地點，其位於湖南省懷化市通道侗族自治縣坪坦鄉。高步侗寨屬於通道縣坪坦鄉下轄的村組織，由高升行政村、高上行政村、克中行政村所組成，三個村底下管轄著岩寨、秧田、上寨屯、高升、龍姓、高坪六個自然村。高步侗寨四週為山地，中間有一條河流經，其中約有561戶、2410人，交通較為不便，因此少有外人進入。 　　侗族村寨整體與周遭自然環境相輔相成，進而達到巧妙的平衡；侗人家屋的空間格局，與人在其中的活動息息相關；在公共空間──鼓樓、風雨橋中，看見人群間的交際往來；村寨中的田地、道路、水塘、河流，串聯起人們的生產生活。侗寨中的每個空間，都是人與環境交互影響之下的產物，筆者欲從中探討其文化脈絡與空間建構的關係。 　　近幾年來，中國各地的少數民族村寨旅遊也如火如荼地發展著，觀光成為村寨快速發展經濟的主要途徑，但在發展觀光業的同時，卻也逐漸流失其珍貴的傳統文化而不自覺。因此，筆者欲以高步侗寨為例，探討高步侗人的空間建構文化，分析隱含於其中的文化內涵，小至家屋、大至整體村寨，觀察人與自然環境之間如何相互牽繫，相輔相成地形成獨特的居住形式，探究高步侗人在面臨劇烈的現代化變遷後，如何經過自身文化體系的調適，在傳統文化與新事物的相互調和中，發掘高步侗人的文化價值，筆者欲針對現代化之影響提出相對應的觀念與措施，進而保存傳統文化，避免文化流失於洪流中而不復返。 / The thesis mainly focuses on Kam in Gaobu village, which is located in Huaihua City, Hunan Province. Gaobu village is under the jurisdiction of Pingtan, Tongdao Dong Autonomous County and comprises three administrative villages: Gaosheng, Gaoshang, and Kezhong. Under the administrative villages, there are 6 natural villages: Yanzhai, Yangtian, Shangzhaitun, Longxing, and Gaoping. Gaobu village is surrounded by mountains. There is a river flowing through the area, which lives about 561 households and 2,410 people. Visitors are not often to see because of the inconvenient traffic. Kam villages are influenced by surrounding natural environment and reach a subtle balance. The spaces of Kam houses are highly related to their daily life. Interactions between villagers happen in public spaces, such as Gǔlóu (鼓樓) and Fēngyǔ Bridge (風雨橋); the production and life of people are composed of the fields, paths, ponds and rivers in the villages. Every space in Kam villages reflects the interaction between people and the environment. The purpose of this study is to discuss the relation between cultural context and the construction of space in Kam villages. In recent years, the rural tourism in ethnic minority areas has been fast-expanding. Tourism has become the main solution of economic development for villages. Meanwhile, people have gradually lost their traditional culture without consciousness. Therefore, this study takes Gaobu village as an example and attempts to talk about the culture of the construction of space of Kam people in Gaobu; analyze the cultural connotation within; observe how people interact with the natural environment and develop the unique way of inhabitation from houses and the whole village. In addition, this study explores that how Kam people in Gaobu bring back cultural values after the accommodation of their culture system, and the harmonizing of traditional culture and new things, when facing the drastic modernization. In response to the impact of modernization, this study aims to propose corresponding concepts and measures to preserve traditional culture instead of losing it.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar uma descrição densa (GEERTZ, 2008) partindo das narrativas e memórias da comunidade quilombola do Sertão da Fazenda da Caixa, situada na cidade de Ubatuba, Litoral Norte do Estado de São Paulo, sobre o seu passado, futuro e presente, compreendendo o seu patrimônio material e imaterial, suas referências culturais e a influência do seu universo sociocultural e simbólico em sua prática educativa. A pesquisa, de cunho etnográfico, buscou compreender, por meio do estudo, pesquisa e análise da memória, das narrativas, dos mitos e da resistência quilombolas, as estratégias de sobrevivência material e simbólica criadas por essa comunidade na construção de seu imaginário, que estrutura: seu sentido de etnicidade, como também o desenvolvimento da relação do ensinar e do aprender entre as diferentes gerações; sua relação com a construção de uma identidade quilombola; e o papel das gerações mais velhas na iniciação das gerações mais novas na cultura do grupo, compreendendo o sentido da educação na comunidade e a relação que a mesma estabelece e estabeleceu com a instituição escolar. Evidenciou, ainda, os diversos tipos de racismos sofridos por essas populações, bem como a dessimetria existente entre a cultura oral e a escrita, que termina por impossibilitar uma gestão compartilhada do território e a utilização dos seus recursos naturais. Os resultados podem subsidiar três importantes eixos de ações de políticas públicas: a) auxiliar na efetiva implantação das leis 10.639/03 e 11.645/06, tanto na formação de professores como na reformulação do currículo escolar, que passa a ser revisto para incluir a temática da História e Cultura Afro-brasileira, Africana e Indígena em todas as escolas públicas e particulares do país; b) subsidiar o reconhecimento do patrimônio material e imaterial das comunidades quilombolas/caiçaras, dando visibilidade à sua cultura, às formas de transmissão da educação, do conhecimento e da memória comunitária, que lhes permitem identificar-se como quilombolas; c) balizar o trabalho de pesquisa sobre a temática identitária dos grupos quilombolas, com implicações no campo jurídico, na questão da demarcação de terras. / This research aimed to perform a thick description (Geertz, 2008) based on the stories and memories of quilombola community of Sertão da Fazenda da Caixa, in Ubatuba city, northern coast of São Paulo, featuring its past, future and present, including its tangible and intangible heritage, its cultural references and the influence of its sociocultural and symbolic universe in its educational practice. The research, which has an ethnographic approach, tried to understand through specific studies, research and analysis of narratives memory, myths and quilombola resistance, material and symbolic survival strategies created by this community to build its imagination, which comprises: its sense of ethnicity, as well the development of the relationship of teaching and learning between different generations; its relationship to the construction of a quilombola identity and the role of older generations in the initiation of the younger ones in group\'s culture, including the education meaning in the community and the relationship that it establishes and established with the school institution. This paper also emphasized the various types of racism suffered by the mentioned populations as well the existing unsymmetrical relationship between oral culture and the written one, which precludes a shared land management and the use of its natural resources. The obtained results can support three important axes of public policy actions: a) to help the effective implementation of 10.639 / 03 and 11.645 / 06 laws, both to improve teacher training and the overhaul of the school curriculum, which is on revision to include the History and Afro-Brazilian Culture, African and Indigenous themes in all public and private schools in the country; b) to support the recognition of the tangible and intangible heritage of quilombola comunity, giving visibility to its culture, forms of education transmission, knowledge and community memory that allow them to identify themselves as quilombolas; c) to guide the research efforts on the theme of quilombola groups identity, with implications for the legal area, on the land demarcation issue.

This research analyzed three Latina social media celebrities’ self-presentations on Instagram and focused on whether or not the content they published potentially challenges or simply perpetuates stereotypical tropes of Latinas found in mainstream media. This qualitative study took an Ideological Critical approach through a textual analysis that was informed by Feminist Theory. More specifically the research focused on: What were Latina social media celebrities self-presentations on Instagram that characterize what a Latina is? How were Latina social media celebrities self-presentations different from or similar to, mainstream stereotypical tropes for Latinas? Lastly, how do the Latina social media celebrities’ self-presentations compare and contrast, what type of themes emerged?

近幾十年來的台灣，政治舞台上一直是由兩大政黨扮演主角。然而，兩大政黨支持者意識形態的嚴重分歧，導至在政黨政治的發展過程中，蒙上一層情緒化、不理性的陰影。本研究乃選擇了社會認同理論(Social Identity Theory)做為論文的理論依據，企圖探討這些問題。本研究目的是探討國內兩大政黨的支持者，如何形成其政黨認同，以及對政策的判斷是否受認同團體的影響而有所偏差。研究方法的使用，除了設計一問卷，來了解兩大政黨不同的意識形態，並企圖驗證台灣地區人民對於政策好壞的判斷，是否受其政黨支持屬性所左右。另外，在文獻的探討過程中，也對兩團成員的認同發展，做了一些探索與推論。前一部份符合心理學科學實驗的典範，後一部份則檢示歷史的發展，偏重於邏輯的推理。在實徵研究方面，分成兩個部分。研究一是使用一份自編的政黨意識形態問卷，施以大樣本問卷調查，比較兩大政黨支持者所具有的不同意識形態，以及不同的族群自我定義。研究二以一個實驗操弄來驗證內團體偏私現象。研究結果發現，新的族群分類方式正在取代原有的省籍分類，一種抽象的族群自我定義：「台灣人是台灣人」和「台灣人是中國人」的二分法，將台灣地區的人民劃分為兩個新族群。這兩個新族群恰與兩大政黨意識形態相符。另外以本省人和外省人為主的省籍情結並未消失，它只是轉化為上述的兩種抽象定義。因此，省籍的背景，加上個人對中國文化的信仰程度，決定了一個人的政黨認同取向。而一個政黨意識形態較強的人，在對政策的態度上，常常不知不覺的受到己團體意見所左右，而不能客觀地判斷政策的優劣。尤其以民進黨意識形態者所產生的這種內團體偏私較強，國民黨意識形態者的內團體偏私現象則較不明顯。最後，根據本研究的結果，對台灣政治生態發展所做的建議是，唯有將台灣意識或中國意識視為一種文化意識，而非族群意識。台灣地區人民才可能將族群認同與政黨認同分開 ，並發出理性的政黨認同，與團結的國家認同。 / There are two major political parties that play important roles in the scene of Taiwan politics. The KMT have government Taiwan area over fifty years, which came from mainland China. Being a minority group as opposed to the KMT, the natures of the DPP supporters are not as same as the members of the KMT. Their ancestors have lived in Taiwan for hundreds of years. Consequently, the ethno identity and the political identity are confused with each other for most of the people in Taiwan. Someone would choose suort one political group not because their cognition to politics, but because most their ethno background. It is to say, one whose fathers came from mainland china would mostly support the KMT than the DPP. One whose fathers were birth in Taiwan is mostly support the DPP than the KMT.The purpose of research is to find out the difference of ideology between two political groups. Besides I will utilize the real- life intergroup relationship for proving in-group bias. Two methods of research were adopted. One is historical research, and the other is an experimental method. The results reveal that there were different ideology in two groups. The KMT supporters usually have more conservative attitudes about politics. The DPP supporters have more open attitudes with their opinions. The ethno backgrounds usually display the role of accentuation. On the other hand, The in-group bias phenomenon has been partly proved. It means that there is a vivid in-group bias phenomenon in minority group. Someone who supports the DPPave a higher rating with the statement that talked by the DPP member. The conclusion of the research also reveals something. There were two opposed opinions rising to explain someone's identification for their sense of belonging. What opinions someone may choose are usually decided by their political identity. One who supports the KMT choose more likely the opinion "Taiwanese is also a Chinese." One who supports the DPP accept more likely the opinion "Taiwanese is just a Taiwanese." Because the two opinionsre abstract definition, so they are not decided by someone's descent. That is to say the traditional manners of ethno category by dialect are broken. The new manner of ethno category is not imposed by someone's descent. I am not optimistic about the phenomenon. The rise of the new ethno definition does not only completely displace the old system of category but also confused with each other. It must have the Taiwan people divided into more small groups. So I predict in the future, The ethno identity of Taiw people would be more complicated .

Confronté aux difficultés des différentes disciplines à dégager les propriétés interactives des relations hommes-loups, j'ai interrogé les Kirghiz sur leurs relations, dans la synchronie et la diachronie. J'ai adopté une démarche ethno-éthologique intégrant le comportement de l'animal et la manière dont il est perçu afin de déterminer ses influences sur les savoirs et les pratiques humaines.<br />Intelligent et doué d'intentionnalité, le loup se voit attribuer par les Kirghiz une intériorité similaire à la leur et apparaît comme un alter ego. Pratiques d'élevage et de chasse viennent confirmer cette conception et participent à son émergence. Il apparaît ainsi que les Kirghiz se trouvent engagés dans une interrelation faite d'interactions réciproques. L'impact de la chute de l'URSS sur les pratiques humaines puis sur les comportements des loups montre le caractère dynamique des interrelations et conduit à considérer la relation des Kirghiz avec les loups comme une co-évolution.

<p>This thesis analyse how life-histories are expressed and reformulated in connection to a life crisis of ill health. The study is based on ten interviews with people who in connection with ill health have made use of treatments within both orthodox medicine and complementary medicine and who have also developed various forms of self-treatment. The overall aim is, with a point of departure in the concepts health, healing and trust, to analyse narratives as a practice through which the respondents create identity and a life-context. The signifi cance of constructing the (auto)biography of the healing narrative – a form of narrative and performative act – runs as the main thread through the thesis. This act makes up the practice that is recurrently discussed in several of the thesis’ chapters and is synonymously termed the telling of healing narratives or or to narrate health and healing. The analysis of the narrative’s The analysis of the narrative’s healing main themes is mirrored in the order of the chapters. The study is broadly thematic and structured as a generalised healing process beginning with upheaval, continuing with crisis and social drama, and further to the endeavour of expressing values and judgements in a public context.</p><p>The interview themes of self-treatment and alternative treatment have occasioned the investigation into what an ethno-medical perspective can bring to analyses of people’s experiences of ill health in an everyday medical context. One of the points of having the concept ethno-medicine as a starting point is that every practice or narrative formation is ascribed with a potential for interpretation in its creation of knowledge. Another chapter deals with two themes of identity and life-history construction in the practice of healing narratives – the need for a chronology and reappraised perspectives on body, health and lifestyle. Healing narratives can be understood as a genre of life-historical narratives where life is often described as a linear course of events. A model by the anthropologist Victor Turner on the course and content of social drama is used as a comment to analyses of three respondents’ narratives in another chapter. A drama can be understood as a tragic course of events, based on an accident or an upsetting incident that roughly revolves around event/crisis, chaos and the striving for restoration. The concept of other journals is then used to make visible the everyday medical administrative practice and refers to the documentation used in the form of collected documents, written notes, and diaries. As an unexpected part of healing processes, the necessity of familiarising oneself with rules, laws and health insurance systems in order to be able to claim one’s rights is brought forward.</p><p>The social transformation process of various care practices in society makes up both a context and a commonly occurring theme in the narratives that the thesis is based upon. A modern health culture that gains strength from loosely composed social movements exerts infl uence on all levels of society. With an increased individual responsibility, the need grows to fi nd one’s own healing strategies and to create one’s own life-history in narratives that mirror this transformation in an everyday context. Healing narratives can be seen as a form of evaluation of health-care practices where experiences of treatment and notions of health and cure and healing are concretised.</p>
