Ce travail s’attache à étudier la profession de dessinateur-illustrateur en France et en Belgique francophone de 1945 à 1968. La profession a longtemps été étudiée sous le seul prisme de la bande dessinée ou du dessin de presse politique. Grâce à une approche prosopographique et à l’étude de 400 trajectoires professionnelles, nous montrons que le métier de dessinateur est polyvalent dans les années 1950 et 1960, touchant autant à l’illustration qu’au dessin politique ou à la bande dessinée. Les dessinateurs sont dépendants du marché et multiplient les lieux depublication comme les pratiques graphiques, en particulier au sein des illustrés. Nous avons privilégié ce support pour appréhender la pratique professionnelle des dessinateurs du corpus. La polyvalence des dessinateurs et leur dépendance vis-à-vis du marché a des conséquences directes sur la manière dont ils construisent et définissent leur métier, en termes d’auto-représentation, de sociabilités comme de revendications. Le statut de journaliste devient unpoint d’ancrage pour nombre d’entre eux, apparaissant comme le meilleur moyen de bénéficier des acquis sociaux qui concernent la société salariale de la France et la Belgique des Trente Glorieuses. Dans le même temps, certains aspirent malgré tout au statut d’indépendant. Les dessinateurs endossent également leur rôle de journalistes dans leurs productions graphiques : leur travail pour la presse et les ouvrages à grand tirage fait d’eux des observateurs visuels de la société des Trente Glorieuses, dont ils transmettent les valeurs, les innovations et les questionnements. C’est dans ce contexte que s’imposent, parfois conjointement, le dessin absurde et la bande dessinée, sans pour autant qu’il s’agisse déjà de spécialisations professionnelles. / This dissertation documents the cartoonist’s trade in France and francophone Belgium from 1945 to 1968. Although this career has been traditionally addressed through the prism of comic art or political cartooning, this study based on a prosopographic approach and the analysis of 400 professional trajectories demonstrates that in the 1950s and 1960s, the trade was a multi-faceted one, in so far as cartoonists were equally likely to produce illustration art, political cartoons, or comics. Their dependence on the market typically brought them to rely upon multiple accounts and graphic techniques, particularly in comic magazines—the medium most closely analyzed in this study to comprehend their professional practices.The cartoonists’ versatility and dependence on the market directly conditioned how they perceived and defined their jobs in social, political, and legal terms. For most of them beingidentified as journalists became a recurring goal as the best means to take advantage of the same benefits and rights as wage-earners in post-World War II France and Belgium. Yet a minorityvalued self-employment. In their graphic productions many cartoonists fulfilled functions similar to those of journalists.Both in the mainstream press and mass-produced books they observed and recorded the values, innovations, and collective interrogations of their national societies in the postwar decades. It was against this background that comics and nonsense cartooning became established graphicforms, although they were often practiced by the same individuals.

L'action humanitaire des organisations intermédiaires, situées entre donateurs et donataires d'un don de plus en plus strictement financier, s'est peu à peu adaptée aux dispositifs de biopouvoir des gouvernements. Profession chargée de normes gestionnaires, orientée notamment par une exigence, non pas de profit, mais de rentabilité, elle s'est progressivement divisée et spécialisée. Une même organisation et certains de ses partenaires locaux sont ainsi observés depuis Lyon, Pékin et Bamako. Intégrée dans une écologie de professions , cette ONG a ainsi été analysée avec ses partenaires financiers et ses partenaires de mises en œuvre, dans l’objectif de toujours tenir ensemble les situations, contextes et processus de globalisation à l’œuvre. Cette thèse explore ainsi l’institutionnalisation d’un mode de gouvernance particulier, reposant de plus en plus sur les émotions individuelles des travailleurs et de leurs « bénéficiaires ». En effet, elles sont essentielles pour animer un travail permanent de négociations. Elles inscrivent ainsi ce gouvernement humanitaire dans un capitalisme des émotions, déployé au-delà des frontières extérieures entre pays et des frontières intérieures, entre privé et professionnel. / Intermediate organisations working for donors and receiving financial donations for beneficiaries of humanitarian help have been gradually adapted to biopower mechanisms of government. Guidelines, standards and objectives are now fully part of a profession willing to gain efficiency but not profit. Humanitarian action is more and more divided between organisations but also between workers in order to ensure this goal. One organisation and some of its local partners have been observed from Lyon, Beijing and Bamako. This NGO has been analyzed with its financial partners and implementing partners as all are integrated into an ecology of professions. This approach is essential to link together situations, contexts and globalization processes at work. This PhD explores the institutionalization of a particular mode of governance more and more based on individual emotions of workers and their "beneficiaries." Indeed, they are essential to foster negotiations within this division of labour. Therefore, humanitarian government is now part of a capitalism of emotions deployed across external borders of different countries and internal borders between the private and professional.

Cette thèse porte sur l’évolution des relations entre les reporters de la presse quotidienne japonaise et les entreprises dont ils sont salariés. À la croisée de la sociologique interactionniste des professions, de la sociologie de la presse et de la sociologique économique, elle prend appui sur une enquête de terrain centrée sur la rédaction d’un grand quotidien national, l’Asahi Shimbun, le deuxième plus grand journal au monde de par le nombre de ses lecteurs. Le journalisme de presse au Japon est en effet organisé autour d’un élément central : l’entreprise de presse. De grandes entreprises s’occupent de la formation professionnelle et protègent les reporters de la concurrence, en les intégrant à leur marché du travail interne et en contrôlant l’accès aux sources permettant l’exercice de l’activité. En retour, elles attendent des reporters un engagement fort et l’acceptation d’une appropriation de leur travail par l’entreprise. Ces éléments forment la logique organisationnelle du journalisme japonais.Le premier objectif de cette thèse est de décrire les principaux traits de ce modèle, tout en montrant comment coexistent des éléments relevant d’une logique de métier. Le second est d’analyser les conséquences de deux grands mouvements. Propre à l’industrie de la presse, le premier concerne l’évolution du lectorat et les transformations éditoriales auxquelles procèdent les entreprises afin d’y répondre. Le second, qui touche plus largement le monde du travail japonais, renvoie aux transformations de la place de l’entreprise dans la société.Des observations menées pendant trois ans au sein de la rédaction du journal, des entretiens qualitatifs et l’analyse de données statistiques d’origine institutionnelle permettent d’analyser les carrières et la division du travail, et de voir par quelles évolutions concrètes se traduit l’effritement de la logique organisationnelle. / This thesis focuses on the evolution of the relationship between Japanese daily press reporters and the newspaper companies for which they work. At the crossroad of the interactionist sociology of professions, sociology of journalism and economic sociology, this work is mainly built on fieldwork conducted within the newsroom of one national newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun, the second biggest newspaper in the world regarding circulation and readership. Journalism in Japan is structured around one central element: the company. Large companies train their employees, protect reporters from labor competition by integrating them in their internal market, and by controlling access to the main news sources. In turn, they expect from their reporters a strong commitment in work and the acceptance of the appropriation of their work by the company. All those items constitute the organizational logic of Japanese journalism. The first aim of the thesis is to describe the main features of this model, while showing how some elements related to an occupational logic subsist. A second aim is to analyze the impact of two movements. Specific to the newspaper industry, the first one is related to the evolution of the readership and the editorial policies established by newspaper companies confronted to this evolution. The second, which is more generally related to the world of work in Japan, refers to the transformation of the role played by the company in society. Observations conducted within the newsroom of this newspaper company during three years, qualitative interviews and a statistical analysis has allowed us to examine the careers and the division of labor, and to see what concrete evolutions are related to the weakening of the organizational logic.

Cette thèse prend pour objet l’institutionnalisation paradoxale d’une fonction d’inspection de la culture. Alors que le contrôle de l’État sur la culture représente un tabou, cette administration a considérablement renforcé et rendu visibles ses capacités d’inspection entre 1959 (création du ministère) et nos jours. Les conditions de possibilité d’un tel retournement constituent donc une énigme historique. Notre argumentation éprouve l’idée selon laquelle le contrôle de l’État sur les politiques culturelles n’a pu s’afficher et être assumé comme tel, depuis les années 2000, qu’à la condition d’être présenté comme une modalité de surveillance dépolitisée. À travers le cas de l’administration de la culture, et plus particulièrement des usages politiques de ses inspections, nous questionnons donc plus largement la dépolitisation de la décision politique. L’enquête commencée en 2013 mobilise une méthodologie mixte, qui associe étroitement méthodes qualitatives et quantitatives, au service d’une perspective diachronique embrassant la période 1950-2017. / This dissertation addresses the paradoxical institutionalization of inspectorates in the French ministry of Culture. While state control over culture is taboo, this administration has significantly strengthened and made visible its inspection capabilities between 1959 (creation of the ministry) and 2017. The conditions of possibility of such a reversal constitute a historical and sociological puzzle, that our dissertation seeks to explain. Our argument is based on the idea that state control over cultural policies managed to appear and be explicitely undertaken as such since the 2000s, provided that it is presented as a depoliticized surveillance modality. Through the case of the administration of culture, and more particularly the political uses of its inspections, we question more broadly the depoliticization of the political decision. The survey started in 2013 relies on a mixed methodology, which closely associates qualitative and quantitative methods, at the service of a diachronic perspective covering the period 1950-2017.

MSc. Thesis / Introduction: In 2018, the College of Midwives of Ontario expanded the scope of practice for registered midwives to include performing point of care ultrasound (POCUS) to aid their obstetrical clinical assessments. This project evaluated learner sonography knowledge, skill acquisitions, and integration of this technology following an innovative POCUS curriculum developed for midwives to understand the impacts of this training. Methods: Concurrent triangulation with mixed methods was used in this study through surveys and interviews. First, the surveys were used to collect data across four time points including before and after the intervention. Five- and seven-point Likert scale questions were analyzed through descriptive statistics. Open-ended questions were qualitatively analyzed using thematic analyses. Second, the semi-structured interviews were conducted to better understand participants’ attitudes and clinical behaviours. Interviews were coded and analyzed using a combination of Corbin and Strauss as well as Charmaz approaches to grounded theory. Results: The findings demonstrated how there was a positive growth in learner comfort with POCUS and a desire to continue using it during clinical practice. The frequency of POCUS use within antenatal care increased with common applications including fetal presentation and assessment of pregnancy viability. The interviews highlighted five themes: facilitating learning, improving care, refining the role of the midwife, serving community, and maintaining competency. Access to clinical placements and the cost of a device were identified as barriers to promoting POCUS skill sets. Participants who had access to a device and completed the clinical practicum are continuing to use sonography within their clinics to provide more comprehensive client care. Conclusions: This project demonstrates how POCUS training can positively impact midwives particularly with aiding clinical decision making such as those regarding fetal viability and presentation. However, the challenges with obtaining a clinical practicum to ensure competency and the cost and access to a device, are significant barriers that unless they are addressed, may result in minimal integration within community practices. / Thesis / Master of Health Sciences (MSc) / The ability to conduct ultrasounds has recently been included in Ontario midwives’ scope of practice. This project evaluated a newly developed Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) curriculum for practicing midwives to understand how midwives can learn and apply POCUS into their clinical work. Learners completed surveys at four time points from pre-course to one-year post-course to share their experiences of knowledge and skill acquisition and applying this training to their clinical work. Five midwives also participated in an interview to share their perspectives about the course more in-depth. It was found that Ontario midwives were very interested to learn POCUS to improve client care. Unfortunately, they struggled finding time and opportunities to refine their sonography skills such as securing a clinical practicum or the funds to purchase a device. However overall, POCUS in midwifery was well received, this technology and its respective education should continue to be supported in Ontario.

Cette thèse explore les formes d’engagement et apporte une réponse à la question : Que devient aujourd’hui le contrat normatif de profession des comptables libéraux dans un contexte de mutation de leur profession ? Nous avons croisé deux champs théoriques : celui du comportement organisationnel avec la théorie du contrat psychologique et la sociologie des professions avec le modèle intégré de De Rozario (2006). Nous avons conduit 20 entretiens qualitatifs auprès de comptables libéraux et mobilisé une grille d’analyse construite à partir de la théorie du contrat psychologique qui prend en compte les actants humains et non humains. Les résultats nous permettent de dire que malgré les violations contractuelles actuelles et les transitions, la profession de comptables libéraux continue de faire engagement par son contrat normatif. Il est composé de trois contrats psychologiques individuels qui sont : transactionnel, transitionnel et relationnel. Les mutations actuelles incitent à des contrats psychologiques transactionnels plus denses avec des réseaux d’experts et un contrat psychologique relationnel avec les outils de gestion surtout digitaux pour répondre aux conjonctures problématiques. Finalement, le contrat relationnel avec la profession réduit aujourd’hui à sa composante diplôme, mute vers des contrats relationnels de réseaux experts de proximité. / This thesis explores the forms of commitment and provides an answer to the question: What is becoming of the normative contract of chartered accountants in a context of change of their profession? We crossed two theoretical fields: that of the organizational behavior with the theory of the psychological contract and the sociology of the professions with the integrated model of De Rozario (2006). We conducted 20 qualitative interviews with chartered accountants and mobilized an analysis grid based on the psychological contract theory that takes into account human and non-human contract makers. The results allow us to say that despite the current contractual violations and transitions, the profession of liberal accountants continues to lead to a commitment through its normative contract. The latter comprises three individual psychological contracts which are transactional, transitional and relational contracts. Current changes are leading to increasingly complex transactional psychological contracts with networks of experts and a relational psychological contract with management tools, especially digital devices, to respond to the crisis they face. Finally, the relational contract with the profession reduces today to its diploma component, moving towards relational contracts of expert networks of proximity.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / Background: Formative feedback is an important process in facilitating student learning as it helps students identify learning gaps early enough and devise means of covering those gaps. Most health professional educators spend most of the time designing summative assessment tools and pay little emphasis to giving qualitative feedback to students throughout the learning process. This problem has been identified at Makerere University College of Health Sciences (MaKCHS) and forms the basis of this study. Objectives: To investigate prior understanding of students and lecturers about formative feedback. The study also aimed at exploring experiences of students and lecturers regarding implementation of feedback in a resource-constrained context. Methods: This was an action research study using a participatory approach. Results: Initially, lecturers had some prior knowledge of feedback, however, students had misconceptions of what feedback could mean. After introducing a written feedback form, all participants expressed satisfaction with the feedback process. Key themes that emerged included: enhancing motivation, enhancing learning, promoting reflection and clarifying understanding. Conclusion: Students` motivation to learn can be greatly enhanced through formative qualitative feedback. A simple structured form is one way of providing qualitative formative feedback to students in resource-limited settings. Key words: formative feedback, structured form, action research.

Thesis (MPhil)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Anatomy remains a foundational subject in the preclinical years of medical and other allied health sciences courses, with exceptionally large volumes of content, and a unique practical aspect: conducting cadaveric dissection and the use of pre-dissected cadaver specimens. The educational climate can be set by incorporating a suitable introduction to the subject, addressing academically and emotionally underprepared students before the formal commencement of the Anatomy curriculum. The literature does not mention what such an Introduction Module should entail. Quantitative means such as questionnaires have been used to evaluate the perceptions and the emotional and psychological influence of Anatomy. It is often assumed that through words meaning is conveyed, providing researchers with data that can be objectively interpreted. But questionnaires are rather pre-emptive of what students might say about what they experience, and the number of possible answers is restricted. The use of drawings might be an opportunity for the students to express their unmediated feelings; strong emotions could appear in the form of images instead of words, allowing students to experience rather than verbalize feelings especially with a limited vocabulary. Qualitative data analysis enables the researcher to get at complex layers of meaning, interprets human behaviour and experiences beyond the surface appearance, provides rich evidence of this behaviour and/or experiences and consequently builds theory inductively from the data source. The primary purpose of this study is to establish the feasibility of using drawings to explore how a diverse group of students from the University of Limpopo, Medunsa Campus, view Anatomy and what insights can be gained from these drawings to inform the Introduction Module. Students were asked to draw their perceptions of Anatomy after approximately 10 weeks of allocated contact time, which includes lectures as well as practical sessions. A total of 74% (134 out of 181) drawings were handed in. A matrix-type method of analysis based on existing literature was formulated to analyse the drawings. Three dimensions were identified for each of the drawings: “what” is illustrated, then “how” is the message conveyed or illustrated, and lastly, the “emotion” communicated through the drawing. The reliability was increased with two interpreters who analysed the drawings. Learning approaches, orientation on human life and death, the general emotional state of individuals influenced by Anatomy, their course of study, the influence of family and friends are some of the aspects that were depicted in the drawings. The rich data encountered through the drawings provided curriculum organisers with insights enabling them to implement necessary changes to the Introduction Module in order to improve student preparedness for what is to follow during the Anatomy curriculum. Further studies are recommended on how student drawings can be utilised to inform curricula and in other educational contexts. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Anatomie bly 'n fundamentele vakgebied in die prekliniese jare van mediese en ander verwante gesondheidswetenskappe kursusse, met besonder groot volumes van die studieinhoud en 'n unieke praktiese aspek: die uitvoer van kadawer disseksie en die gebruik van voorafgedissekteerde kadawer monsters. Die opvoedkundige klimaat kan ingestel word deur 'n geskikte Inleiding Module tot die kurrikulum te voeg wat akademies en emosioneel swak voorbereide studente kan voorberei vir die formele Anatomie kurrikulum. Literatuur noem nie wat so 'n Inleiding Module moet behels nie. Kwantitatiewe praktyke soos vraelyste is voorheen gebruik om die persepsies en die emosionele en sielkundige invloed van Anatomie te evalueer. Dit word dikwels aanvaar dat deur woorde betekenis oorgedra word wat navorsers van data voorsien wat objektief vertolk kan word. Maar vraelyste is vooropgestel ten opsigte van dit wat studente mag ervaar, en die aantal moontlike antwoorde is beperk. Sterk emosies kan na vore kom in die vorm van beelde in plaas van woorde, wat studente in staat stel om te ervaar, eerder as om gevoelens te verwoord, veral met 'n beperkte woordeskat. Die gebruik van tekeninge is 'n geleentheid vir die student om hul onverdeelde gevoelens uit te druk. Kwalitatiewe data-ontleding stel die navorser in staat om komplekse lae van betekenis te interpreteer, menslike gedrag en ervarings buite die oppervlak te analiseer, bied voldoende bewyse van hierdie gedrag en ervarings en kan gevolglik teorie induktief uit die data bron bou. Die primêre doel van hierdie studie is om die lewensvatbaarheid van die gebruik van tekeninge te verken in hoe 'n diverse groep studente aan die Universiteit van Limpopo, Medunsa-kampus, Anatomie sien en watter insigte kan verkry word uit hierdie tekeninge om die temas wat in die Inleiding Module aangespreek moet word, vas te stel. Studente is gevra om hul persepsies van Anatomie uit te beeld na ongeveer tien weke se formele kontaktyd, wat lesings, sowel as praktiese sessies insluit. 'n Totaal van 74% (134 uit 181) tekeninge is ingehandig. 'n Matriks-tipe metode van analise gebaseer op bestaande literatuur is geformuleer om die tekeninge te ontleed. Drie dimensies is geïdentifiseer vir elk van die tekeninge: "wat" is geteken, dan "hoe" is die boodskap wat oorgedra word geïllustreer, en laastens die “emosie” gekommunikeer deur die tekening. Die betroubaarheid is verhoog met twee individue wat die tekeninge ontleed. Leerbenaderings, oriëntering op die menslike lewe en die dood, die algemene emosionele toestand van individue en hoe dit hul persepsies van Anatomie beinvloed, die studiekursus waarvoor hul ingeskryf is, die invloed van familie en vriende, is 'n paar aspekte wat in die tekeninge uitgebeeld is. Die ryk data teëgekom in die tekeninge kan kurrikulum organiseerders in staat te stel om die nodige veranderinge aan die Inleiding Module te implementeer ten einde die voorbereiding van studente te verbeter vir wat gaan volg tydens die Anatomy kurrikulum. Verdere studies word aanbeveel oor hoe student tekeninge gebruik kan word om leerplanne en in ander opvoedkundige kontekste in te lig.

Cette étude veut montrer comment le travail est décrit et vécu dans les utopies littéraires et programmatiques du dix-huitième siècle, de John Bellers (1695) à Robert Owen (vers 1830). Dans la société britannique de l’époque, le travail évolue, de nécessaire condition de l’homme vers un moyen de progresser dans la hiérarchie sociale. Les utopies, micro-sociétés idéales, sont toujours isolées, de sorte que le travail agricole et artisanal est la principale occupation de leurs habitants. De pénible qu’il est en Europe, il devient léger en utopies car il est équitablement partagé entre des individus qui savent se contenter de peu. Les autres professions, plus intellectuelles, jouissent d’un prestige nettement moins important qu’en Europe, puisque chaque utopien est à la fois son prêtre, son avocat, son médecin. Tous les utopiens contribuent également à la beauté de leur environnement, on ne trouve que rarement des artistes identifiés par leur fonction. La façon dont les utopistes abordent la question du travail traduit leur projet de société, le plus souvent égalitariste et coopératif, par opposition à une Grande-Bretagne dominée par la compétition. / The point of this thesis is to show how work is depicted in eighteenth-century utopias, from John Bellers (1695) to Robert Owen (in the 1830s). Labour is the necessary condition of the vast majority of the British population at the beginning of the period. Over the century, though, work takes on a more positive connotation as it becomes a means of ascending the social ladder (especially for the merchants and members of the professions). In utopian texts, European “toil” becomes pleasant and healthful “exercise”, because the inhabitants of ideal societies have few needs that are easily satisfied. A little agriculture and craft industry only is required to provide them with anything they want. The intellectual professions, that were more prestigious in Britain, are disregarded as each citizen is able to act as his own priest, lawyer or physician. All utopians are artists, contributing to the beauty of their environment, so that none is really identified as such. The last part aims at demonstrating that work and labour are at the heart of the utopists’ view of society. Their plans are vindications of more egalitarian and cooperative societies.
