In this study, I examine the relationship between national origin, nativity status, and favorability toward Donald Trump among Latinos in 2016. In particular, I examine the relationship between Cubans, Dominicans, and "other" Latinos to understand how differences in national origin and nativity status influence Trump favorability. The term "Latino" is a pan-ethnic term used to describe individuals with ancestry from Latin America who share a common language, religion and culture. However, studies have shown that Latinos are actually more diverse and political attitudes may differ based on factors like acculturation, national origin, and nativity status. Using data from the 2016 Collaborative Multiracial Post-Election Survey, I find that favorability for Trump differs by national origin and nativity status as immigrants of "other" national origins favor Trump than Cubans and Dominicans. This suggest that Latinos attitudes are not shaped by their pan-ethnic identity and are rather influenced by national origin and nativity status.

In present time, to be mobile, to be able to physically move from point A to point B is something taken for granted by a small minority of the world’s population, while the vast majority are caught within or between borders. How did we reach to this point? This study examines the lived experiences of (im)mobility in Jordan. It captures the experiences of Syrians who live in Jordan and who have been denied mobility because of their flight from their homeland. By means of an ethnographical approach this study challenges conventional conceptions of what it means to be displaced. Situating the understanding of displacement in relation to the modern nation state, territorial boundedness, national identity and geographical categorizations it ultimately lays the foundation for conceptualizing the relative human (im)mobility and its links to a historical past. Through travelling and living in Jordan periodically between 2017-2018, totalizing approximately 6 months, conducting semi-structured interviews and engaging in everyday social and contextual encounters, this study offers a more multifaceted understanding of what it means to be (im)mobile in present time, as additional to conventional scholarship. It ultimately demonstrates that displacement as we understand it today is inadequate and simplified, and as we reassess its components we are able to reconceptualize the understandings of relative human (im)mobility.

<p dir="ltr">As the US population ages, scientists and policy makers are giving renewed attention to not just increasing the quantity of years lived but improving the quality of those years. Disability, defined as difficulty in performing basic, necessary, socially defined tasks such as bathing and eating, represents a threat to quality of life. Disability has been acknowledged as a major public health issue among policy makers, practitioners, and multidisciplinary researchers for older adults, yet few have investigated the lifetime predictors of this condition. The purpose of this dissertation is to (1) identify how exposure to stressful events across the life course influences disability, (2) examine the role that social relationships play in disability onset in later life, and (3) investigate the appraisal of stress rather than just the discrete occurrence of an event to understand how this subjective experience alters disability status in later life. This dissertation aims to understand how these relationships vary among demographic groups, with two chapters identifying racial, ethnic, and nativity disparities, and one explaining the moderating effect of gender. Drawing from life course theories including the stress process and cumulative inequality, this dissertation uses longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) to examine the effect of lifetime stress exposure, adult social relationships, and chronic stress appraisal on the occurrence and onset of disability among adults 50 years and older. This dissertation is composed of an introductory chapter, three empirical chapters, and a concluding chapter.</p><p dir="ltr">The first empirical study investigates disparities in stress and disability and further examines how the relationship between stress exposure (both cumulatively and domain-specific) and disability differs by race, ethnicity, and nativity. The second empirical chapter examines the gendered relationship between patterns of social relationship quality in adulthood (identified by high quality, adverse, indifferent, or ambivalent) and the onset of disability in later life. The third empirical chapter builds on the conceptual design of the first chapter, but instead examines chronic stress exposure and chronic stress appraisal and how each has a unique influence on later-life disability for White, Black, US-born Hispanic, and foreign-born Hispanic adults. Overall, findings reveal that higher levels of stress exposure, more detrimental patterns of relationship quality, and appraising stress as upsetting are associated with an earlier onset of disability in later life among adults in the United States. Although empirical chapter 2 did not find any racial, ethnic, and nativity differences among social relationships and disability, negative relationship patterns (i.e., adverse and ambivalent) are associated with disability at a younger age for all older adults. In addition, men who report adverse or indifferent relationships have higher odds of disability than men in high quality relationships. The two chapters examining different conceptualizations of stress exposure and disability find racial, ethnic, and nativity differences. Compared to White adults, cumulative stress burden, particularly childhood traumatic events, are especially harmful for US-born Hispanic adults. Moreover, appraising chronic stressors as more upsetting has a detrimental influence on later-life disability for Black adults, but a protective effect for foreign-born Hispanic adults.</p><p dir="ltr">This dissertation highlights several lifetime antecedents of disability and identifies that it is important to account for demographic factors when addressing interventions to reduce the overall occurrence of disability. Disability is more prevalent among older adults and represents a threat to quality of life. Interventions aimed at reducing exposure to stressful experiences and improving quality of relationships may alleviate some of the noxious effects that disability has on optimal aging.</p>

Dès les débuts du christianisme, l’Église s’est servie de l’art. Au Moyen âge, en particulier, la décoration des cathédrales (sculptures, fresques vitraux) avait une valeur esthétique, mais plus encore, une valeur didactique. Moyens matériels pour faire la catéchèse, voire évangéliser, les crèches du Musée de l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal s’inscrivent dans cette perspective. Tenant compte de cette mission d’évangélisation qui incombe à l’Église et de l’importance que prend de plus en plus le visuel dans la culture et la société actuelles, nous voulons partir de l’exposition des crèches de Noël à l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph, de l’année 2009, pour découvrir en quoi elle pourrait contribuer à l’évangélisation et à la croissance du christianisme et des chrétiens. En effet, les crèches de Noël sont essentiellement œuvre de foi, – non pas liée à la foi de l’auteur mais plutôt à l’effet que cette oeuvre peut avoir sur celui qui la regarde, – dont la dévotion à la sainte Famille. Ce moyen d’évangélisation dans ce monde en mutation où l’art visuel s’est avéré d’une extrême importance convient bien au contexte de la déchristianisation et peut offrir une complémentarité aux méthodes traditionnelles d’évangélisation basées surtout sur le discours. Ils sont complémentaires, dans le sens où il ne s’agit pas de « cheminer à travers villes et villages, prêchant et annonçant la Bonne Nouvelle du Royaume de Dieu » (Lc 8,1) aux personnes qui n’ont pas encore entendu parler du Christ, mais d’éveiller la curiosité chez les visiteurs non-chrétiens (Evangelii Nuntiandi 53), de stimuler l’intérêt à l’égard de la religion chez les non-pratiquants (EN 56) et, de soutenir et approfondir la foi des fidèles. Mots-clés : Christianisme – Église – transmission – évangélisation – éducation de la foi – musée – crèches – Oratoire Saint-Joseph. / Throughout the ages, the Church has employed the arts. In the middle ages, in particular, the adornments of cathedrals (sculptures, frescoes, stained-glass) were prized not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their didactic potential—concrete techniques for catechizing and evangelizing. The nativity scenes mounted in the Museum of Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal can be viewed from this perspective. Taking into consideration this mission of evangelization incumbent on the Church, along side the emphasis on the visual in present-day culture and society, we intend to take as a starting point the exhibit of creches during the Christmas season 2009 at the Oratory to see how they might contribute to the effort at evangelization and to the enrichment of Christianity and Christians. In the final analysis, the nativity scene is essentially a work of faith, (not only as regards the faith of the artist but also the faith-experience of the person who looks at it) under the category of a devotion to the Holy Family. In world of change, where the visual arts are considered crucial, this method of evangelization is well-suited to the context of de-Christianization and may be considered as complementary to the traditional methods of evangelization based on speech. They are complementary not in the sense of “going from town to town, preaching and announcing the Good News of the Kingdom of God” (Luke 8, 1) to those who have never heard of Christ, but in the sense of stimulating the curiosity of non-Christian viewers, rekindling the interest of those who no longer practice, and supporting and deepening the faith of the devoted.

Inicialmente, foi realizada uma revisão dos aspectos abordados na dissertação de mestrado intitulada Presépio Napolitano do Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo: percurso metodológico para a elaboração de um inventário científico, a qual contribuiu para o levantamento histórico da criação do Museu dos Presépios em São Paulo. A partir da problemática da exibição dos núcleos presepiais, a tese revisa a bibliografia sobre a tradição napolitana e se ocupa das questões cenográficas dos conjuntos napolitanos, de seus personagens característicos e de seus grupos cênicos para discutir as mudanças de gosto expográfico ao longo dos séculos. Ademais, o estudo abarca comparações de soluções cênicas entre os núcleos napolitanos e outras tipologias presepiais, bem como as soluções expografia nos diversos centros mundiais que possuem coleções napolitanas. Assim, uma das contribuições da tese é avaliação das condições atuais das cenografias existente nessas coloções e o levantamento das motivações de suas escolhas museográficas / Abstract: Based on the analysis of the documents about the Neapolitan crib that belongs to Museu de Arte Sacra de São Paulo, the research intended to study the scenographic issues involved in this kind of crib collection. Initially, we performed a review of the issues discussed in the dissertation entitled Neapolitan Crib of the Museum of Sacred Art in São Paulo: methodological approach for the development of a scientific survey, which contributed to record the historical aspects of the creation of the Museu dos Presépios in São Paulo. From the matter of the crib's collections displaying, the thesis reviews the literature on the Neapolitan, their typical figures and its scenic groups to discuss the exhibition changes throughout the centuries. Moreover, the study includes comparisons among Neapolitan crib's scenic solutions and other crib's type, as well as expography solutions from others centers that have Neapolitan collections around the world. Thus, one of the contributions of the thesis is evaluating the sceneries conditions of the current collections and the motivation of their museographic choices / Doutorado / Historia da Arte / Doutor em História

The issue of identity is receiving the most attention in recent times. Communities, groups and individuals tend to ask themselves who they are after the colonial period. The dawn of modern democracy and the fall of the Berlin Wall have become important sites of self-definition. In this study, I examine narratives of self-invention and selflegitimisation from a variety of texts ranging from poetic to dramatic voices. The author creates characters who represent his wishes, desires and fears in dramatic form. The other characters re-present the other members of his family. He uses autobiographical voices to re-create and re-present history, particularly his family history which has been dismembered by memory's inability to recover the past in its entirety. Memory, visions and dreams are used as tropes to negotiate the pain of loss. These narratives assist him to recapture that which has been lost dearly, and imaginatively re-members what has been dismembered. The autobiographical I shifts into an autobiographical we where the author uses his poetry to lambast the injustices of apartheid. The study further examines some aspects of postcolonial identity, which include the status of African writing and the role of africalogical discourse, the conception of home in apartheid South Africa as well as the juxtaposition of power between indigenes and settlers. These reflect the problem of marginality as a postcolonial condition and how the marginals can be returned to the centre of power. Marginalisation of the indigenes occurs by coercion, inferiorisation, tabooing certain political and cartographical spaces, harassment, torture and imprisonment. Despite these measures, the poetry of NS Puleng persisted to remove the fetish of apartheid disempowerment and disenfranchisement. / African Languages / D.Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

The aim of this thesis is to describe the development of register records in Bohemia by comparing the recent records in registry books with those issuing from the oldest registry books. It also shows the importance of the register records today and in the past, as well as the changes of these specifications and data through out the centuries. The importance of this thesis is to highlight the fact that the records in the registry books were originally determined to be registers of received sacraments arising from the clerical regulations issued by the Roman Catholic Church. The Trident Council instructed to keep registers of christening and marriages. But the implementation into practise of these registers took longer than it was expected. The register agenda in the Czech lands was not uniform until the 18th century. The proper integration of the register agenda was stated after this period on the basis of state regulations. The Roman Catholic Church contributed actively to the origin of keeping such an agenda and was also entitled and entrusted to supervise the register record of all other Churches.
