The Negro in the novels of Rene Maran, 1940
No full textThis study of the Negro in the novels of Rene Maran, Frances most prominent contemporary Negro author, is one of several being made at Atlanta University on the Negro in French literature. This attempt to-show how a Negro, the only one ever to receive the Prix Goncourt, portrays his African brothers, is the first American study of Rene Maran's novels. It is hoped that it will be a modest contribution to an almost unexplored field in French literature and that other students of France and her culture will be inspired to make a more extensive study of Rene Maran and his works. The first chapter is devoted to the life of Rene Maran and a discussion of his style and most important works. The second chapter presents the physical characteristics of the Negro as portrayed by Rene' Maran. Emphasis is placed on physical appearance, tribal marks, dress, disease and odors which seem to be especially characteristic of the Negro. The third chapter is devoted to the social characteristics of the Negro with emphasis on home life, food, religion, feasts, and governments. The last chapter will present a summary of the findings of this study. The appendix includes short synopses of each of the novels with Negro characters, and a latter from Monsieur Maran to the writer. aIt is to be regretted that such a small amount of material has been written on Rene Maran. Because of his modesty he has written even less about himself. Biographical material consists principally of Leon Bocquet's "Preface" to le Petit Roi de Chimerie, a fairy story by Rene Maran; le Coeur serre, an autobiography written as a novel; several articles which have appeared in periodicals and the forementioned letter from Monsieur Maran. First editions of all novels, with exception of Le Livre de la brousse, were used. As the latter was unavailable, the second edition (1937) was used. Rene Maran's most important novels on Africa, Batouala, Djouma, Chien de brousse, Le Journal sans date end le Livre de la brousse have been studied. The novelettes Bokorro and Bassarragba have also been used as references but the longer novels have constituted our major interest. Le Petit Roi de Chimerie , though it contains no Negro characters, was quoted because of one excellent example of Rene Maran's style. Less stress has been placed on Le Journal sans date because only one of its characters is a Negro. The writer sincerely appreciates the kindness and help of Rene Maran, whose letter was a source of constant encouragement

A Study on Fashion Design Applying the Image of Rene Magritte’s Works : Focused on Depaysement Technique
No full textThe modern fashion that pursues the personality, freedom, and creativity reflects the stream of time. The combination of art reflecting fashion and period representation technique as the trend of modern fashion for doing away with stereotype suggests various possibility of creation and wakes the aesthetic consciousness of potential human being with various designs. Surrealism that appeared as background provided possibility to develop creative designs on 20C had to pursue the overall awareness about human being by revealing the unconscious world having had under pressure and liberating the human. Especially, Rene Magritte (1898~1967) as the creative of surrealism denied automatism that was abstract representation technique. In addition, he did experience the mysteries of world with making normal from ordinary materials and the world of unique painting as well as paying attention and awaking think from us. The expression of Rene Magritte painting that was affected by Giorgio De Chirico makes to open the perspective of us having stereotype by revealing another hidden world of side of all reality.
The author offering the modern fashion design to match up between clothes and depaysement technique that the author studied and analyzed choosing Rene Magritte who was one of the surrealists.
As way of this study, The author referred like previous literatures, other theses, some books and magazines etc.
This study through theoretical consideration is as below.
First, The author analyzed the depaysement technique that is one of Rene Magritte’s main techniques and the world of his works.
Second, The author studied each feature and distribution to three representation techniques from Rene Magritte’s works along depaysement technique.
Third, The author made total 8 clothes applying main concept from image of Rene Magritte’s works.
These are result through theoretical studies.
First, The author have known that Rene Magritte among surrealism artists suggests the possibility of creative think with free arrangement each ordinary object and realistic through arts.
Second, about depaysement technique, main representation technique of Rene Magritte’s works, The author have known to be divided three ways so as the modulation of space, the combination of conflicting image, the transform and change of object.
Third, The author have suggested some examples which are variety and creative modern fashion design through expressive classification of Rene Magritte’s works.
The result that the author got from being made works based on these ideas is as below.
First, The author have confirmed the mind of artist and the expression of subconscious from Rene Magritte who wanted to prove depaysement technique or ideology of surrealism rather than just particular image with matching up fashion in his works.
Second, The author have presented new optical modeling space as being expressed the three-dimensional costume design that combines between body and two-dimensional painting when Rene Magritte’s works spread out for fashion design. Moreover, The author have known that the world of Rene Magritte’s works propose the creative idea to study of all-time modern fashion design and to be possible application to creative and differentiated image source due to graft the art onto the fashion.
Third, The author have known that classified images along three expression ways called the modulation of space, the combination of conflicting image, the transform and change of object in depaysement technique of Rene Magritte’s works suggest possibly spreading out various designs through combination with clothes.
Fourth, The author have known that depaysement which is one of surrealism’s representation technique can expend the width of imagination as being applied clothes by various view and practical use in materials or design elements. For that reason, it built the unique image applying realistic and ordinary objects inside Rene Magritte’s works.
Fifth, The author have known Digital Textile Printing (DTP) technique as the element of practical design is very well matching up expressing the image of Rene Magritte’s works to clothes.;개성과 자유, 독창적인 창의성을 추구하는 현대 패션은 시대적인 흐름과 예술을 반영한다. 패션과 시대적인 표현기법을 반영하는 예술의 결합은 고정된 관념을 탈피하기 위한 현대 패션의 트렌드로 다양한 디자인과 함께 잠재된 인간의 미의식을 일깨우고 다양한 창작의 가능성을 제시한다.
창의적 디자인의 개발에 가능성을 준 시대적 배경으로 등장한 초현실주의는 20C에 접어들면서 인간을 해방시키고 억압되어 왔던 무의식의 세계를 밝힘으로써 인간에 대한 총체적 인식을 추구하고자 했다. 특히 초현실주의 작가로서 르네 마그리트(Rene Magritte, 1898~1967)는 추상적인 표현기법인 자동 기술 법을 부정하고 일상적의 소재를 통한 평범하고 독특한 회화의 세계를 구축하면서 우리의 관심을 집중시키고 사고를 일깨워 신비의 세계를 경험하게 하였다. 르네 마그리트 회화의 데페이즈망 기법의 표현은 모든 현실이면의 다른 숨겨진 세계를 드러냄으로써 고정 관념에 익숙한 우리의 시각을 개방시켜준다.
이에 본 연구는 초현실주의 대표 작가 중 르네 마그리트를 선정하여 그의 회화들 중 데페이즈망 기법을 연구, 분석하고 이를 의상에 접목하여 현대적인 패션디자인으로 제안하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구의 방법으로는 선행 연구된 문헌자료와 국내외 연구 논문과 서적, 정기간행물, 학회지, 인터넷 자료를 활용하였다.
이론적 고찰을 통한 본 연구의 내용으로는 첫째, 초현실주의 화가인 르네 마그리트의 작품세계와 그의 대표적인 표현기법중 하나인 데페이즈망 기법을 분석하였다. 둘째, 데페이즈망 기법에 따라 르네 마그리트의 회화를 세 가지의 표현적 기법으로 분류하고 각각의 특징을 연구하였다. 셋째, 르네 마그리트 회화의 이미지를 주요 모티브로 응용하여 총 8벌의 작품을 제작하였다.
이론적 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다.
첫째, 초현실주의의 예술을 한 화가들 중 르네 마그리트는 회화를 통해 사실적이고 일상적인 사물들 간의 자유로운 배치가 창조적인 사고의 가능성을 제시하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
둘째, 르네 마그리트 회화의 주요 표현기법인 데페이즈망 기법은 크게 공간의 변조, 모순된 이미지의 결합, 물체의 변형과 변화의 세 가지 방법으로 분류됨을 알 수 있었다.
셋째, 르네 마그리트 회화의 표현적 분류에 따라 다양하고 창의적인 현재 패션디자인의 사례를 제시할 수 있었다.
이를 토대로 제작된 작품을 통해 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다.
첫째, 르네 마그리트 회화의 패션과의 접목은 특정 이미지 자체보다는 초현실주의의 이념이나 데페이즈망 기법을 보여주고자 했던 르네 마그리트의 작가 정신과 잠재된 의식의 표출을 확인할 수 있었다.
둘째, 르네 마그리트 회화의 조형성이 패션 디자인에 전개될 때 평면적인 회화 작품이 인체와 결합되어 새로운 디자인이 창출되고 회화와는 다른 입체적인 의상디자인으로 표출됨으로써 새로운 시각적 조형 공간을 표현할 수 있었다. 따라서 르네 마그리트의 회화가 갖고 있는 작품세계는 시대를 초월하는 현대 패션 디자이너의 연구에 독창적인 아이디어를 제시하고 예술과 패션의 만남으로 서로 접목되어 창의적이고 차별화된 이미지 소스로 응용 가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다.
셋째, 르네 마그리트 회화에서 데페이즈망 기법의 공간의 변조, 모순된 이미지의 결합, 물체의 변형과 변화라는 세 가지 표현기법에 따라 분류된 이미지는 의상과의 결합을 통해 다양한 디자인 전개의 제시가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.
넷째, 초현실주의의 표현 기법 중 하나인 데페이즈망 기법이 르네 마그리트 회화만의 현실적이고 일상적인 사물들을 소재로 응용한 독특한 이미지를 구축하여 이를 통한 작품들이 여러 각도로 의상에 응용되고 소재나 디자인적 요소의 다양한 활용으로 상상력의 폭을 넓힐 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 다섯째, 실용적 디자인의 활용 요소로 디지털 텍스타일 프린팅(DTP)기법이 르네 마그리트 회화의 이미지를 의상으로 표현하기에 매우 적합하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.Ⅰ. 서론 1

The effect of different vineyard management systems on the epigaeic arthropod assemblages in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa
No full textThesis (MScConsEcol (Conservation Ecology and Entomology)--Stellenbosch University, 2008.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa, where wine grape production and
biodiversity conservation are of major importance, innovative management of the
landscape is necessary to integrate the two activities. Alternative farming, such as organic
and biodynamic farming, focuses on the preservation of biological processes in
agroecosystems with the aim of increasing the sustainability of these sytems. It has been
demonstrated in other regions that alternative farming can enhance biodiversity. This
study assessed the potential of alternative vineyard management to conserve biodiversity,
in particular epigaeic arthropod diversity, relative to the more widespread integrated
vineyard management in the CFR. A hierarchical design was used, consisting of three
localities, with three land-uses nested within each locality. The land-uses were alternative
vineyards, integrated vineyards and natural vegetation sites as reference habitats.
Sampling was done in June and October 2006 using pitfall traps. Nested ANOVAs were
used to test for differences in abundance and species richness of the total assemblages,
functional feeding guilds and selected generalized predatory taxa. Assemblage patterns
were assessed using hierarchical agglomerative clustering and non-metric
multidimensional scaling. Canonical correspondence analyses were used to evaluate the
effects of environmental variables, management practices and landscape variables on
community composition. Alternative vineyards supported a significantly higher overall
arthropod abundance and species richness, more diverse predatory, saprophagous,
phytophagous and omnivorous guilds, as well as more abundant and speciose spider and
rove beetle assemblages than the integrated vineyards. Integrated vineyards harboured a
greater abundance of predators, whereas results for nectarivores, wood borers, parasitoids
and carabid beetles were variable. The differences could be explained in part by higher
non-crop vegetation complexity and reduced management intensity of the alternative
vineyards. Community composition was influenced by a combination of management
practices, the surrounding landscape and geographic locality, which highlighted the
interdependence of the cultivated land and its surroundings.Master
The invasive ant Pheidole megacephala on an oceanic island : impact, control and community-level response to management
No full textThesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Invasive species are among the most important global conservation threats. Their management is one of the key conservation challenges that will have to be addressed in the next few decades. The study of real invasions and their management in natural ecosystems provides an opportunity to gain important information on theoretical and applied aspects of biological invasions.
This project focuses on the broader ecological context of invasive ant management in an ecologically sensitive island habitat. The thesis has three main components: 1) assessing the role of the invasive ant Pheidole megacephala in the ecosystem and evaluating its threat to the system, 2) evaluating a low-impact management program for the ant, and 3) using a community-level approach to assess ecosystem response to ant removal.
The ant occupied almost 30% of the island‘s total land area and reached extremely high densities in some areas. The ant was associated with exotic hemipteran scale insects through trophobiotic mutualisms that facilitated high ant and hemipteran abundances. The highly destructive scale insect Pulvinaria urbicola was among the hemipterans that benefited from ant attendance. High levels of hemipteran feeding resulted in dieback of functionally important and threatened native Pisonia trees, which represented a significant threat to the forest ecosystem.
A management program was initiated in response to this threat, consisting of baiting with selective hydramethylnon-based bait delivered in bait stations, accompanied by detailed pre-and post-baiting monitoring. The method was highly effective at suppressing the ants, whilst preventing bait uptake by non-target organisms. It was also cost-effective and adaptable to ant density in the field, but was only effective over short distances. The method may be applicable to other sensitive environments with similar challenges. After ant control, the ant-scale mutualism was decoupled and the Pu. urbicola population collapsed. There were variable responses in different taxa to the removal of these highly abundant exotic species, the most important of which was the recovery in Pisonia trees. Shoot condition and foliage density improved and there was a decrease in sooty mold. Herbivory on Pisonia increased due to recovery of native canopy herbivores, but the overall impact was far less than that of the exotic hemipterans.
Soil surface arthropods, a group that may have been vulnerable to the treatment method, were unaffected by baiting. Instead, they increased significantly after ant removal, confirming the ant‘s impact on other arthropods. Other ant diversity and non-ant arthropod abundance increased post-baiting, including the endemic ant Pheidole flavens farquharensis and some functionally important insects such as the Indian cockroach.
Natural enemies that interacted predictably with the mutualists were influenced by management. Predators of hemipterans increased significantly after ant removal and were instrumental in the scale population collapse, whereas parasitoids of hemipterans that benefited from the mutualism declined. Additionally, groups that were unrelated to the mutualism were indirectly influenced by management. The natural enemy assemblage as a whole showed recovery to pre-invasion conditions.
The study shows how widely interconnected and influential the ant was in the ecosystem. It highlights the threat of the species in natural systems as well as the complex responses following invasive ant removal. Yet, it also demonstrates the potential to safely and effectively manage the species, thereby raising the opportunity for ecosystem recovery.AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Indringerspesies is van die belangrikste globale bedreigings vir natuurbewaring. Hulle bestuur is van die grootste bewaringsuitdagings wat in die volgende paar dekades aangespreek moet word. Die studie van werklike invalle en hul bestuur in natuurlike ekosisteme bied 'n geleentheid om belangrike inligting te verkry oor teoretiese en toegepaste aspekte van biologiese indringing.
Hierdie projek fokus op die breër ekologiese konteks van uitheemse mier bestuur in 'n ekologies sensitiewe eiland habitat. Die tesis het drie hoofkomponente: 1) die beoordeling van die rol van die indringer mier Pheidole megacephala in die ekosisteem en evaluering van sy bedreiging vir die sisteem, 2) die evaluering van 'n lae-impak bestuursprogram vir die mier, en 3) die gebruik van 'n gemeenskaps-vlak benadering om ekosisteem reaksie op mierverwydering te assesseer.
Die mier het byna 30% van die totale landoppervlak van die eiland beslaan en het in party areas baie hoë digthede bereik. Die mier was geassosieer met uitheemse dopluis spesies in mutualismes wat hoë mier en dopluis getalle gefasiliteer het. Die hoogs beskadigende dopluis Pulvinaria urbicola was een van die spesies wat bevoordeel is deur die mutualisme. Hoë vlakke van dopluis voeding het die terugsterwe van funksioneel belangrike, bedreidge inheemse Pisonia bome veroorsaak, wat ʼn groot bedreiging vir die ekosisteem verteenwoordig het.
‗n Bestuursprogram is geïmplimenteer as gevolg van hierdie bedreiging, wat bestaan het uit selektiewe hidrametielnoon-gebaseerde lokaas wat in die veld geplaas is in lokaashouers, vergesel deur intensiewe monitering voor en na lokaasplasing. Die metode was hoogs effektief in die onderdrukking van die miere en het lokaasinname deur nie-teiken organismes verhoed. Dit was ook koste-effektief en aanpasbaar volgens mierdigtheid in die veld, maar was slegs effektief oor kort afstande. Die metode mag van toepassing wees in ander sensitiewe omgewings met soortgelyke uitdagings.
Na mierbeheer is die mier-dopluis mutualisme ontkoppel en die Pu. urbicola bevolking het drasties verminder. Daar was verskillende reaksies in verskillende taxa tot die verwydering van die oorvloedryke eksotiese spesies, maar die belangrikste reaksie was die herstel van Pisonia bome. Spruittoestand en blaardigtheid het verbeter en daar was ʼn afname in roetskimmel. Herbivorie op Pisonia het toegeneem as gevolg van ʼn herstel in inheemse herbivore, maar die algehele impak was veel minder as dié van die eksotiese dopluis.
Grondoppervlak gelidpotiges, 'n groep wat kwesbaar kon wees vir die behandelingsmetode, was onaangeraak deur die lokaas, maar het beduidend na mierverwydering vermeerder. Mierdiversiteit het vermeerder en die Seychelles endemiese mier Pheidole flavens farquharensis is hervestig. Ander gelidpotiges het ook vermeerder, insluitend funksioneel belangrike spesies soos die Indiese kakkerlak.
Natuurlike vyande wat geassosieer was met die mutualiste is beïnvloed deur die mierbestuur. Predatore van dopluis het beduidend toegeneem na mierverwydering en was hoogs betrokke by die vermindering van dopluis, terwyl parasiete van dopluis, wat voordeel getrek het uit die mutualisme, gedaal het. Daarbenewens is groepe wat onverwant was aan die mutualisme indirek beïnvloed deur mierbestuur. Die algehele natuurlike vyand gemeenskap het herstel na pre-indringing toestand.
Die studie toon hoe wydverbind en invloedryk die mier was in die ekosisteem. Dit beklemtoon die bedreiging van die spesies in natuurlike stelsels asook die komplekse reaksies wat uitheemse mierverwydering volg. Tog demonstreer dit die potensiaal om die spesies veilig en doeltreffend te bestuur, en sodoende die geleentheid vir ekosisteemherstel te skep.Doctora

Program clarification, design, and plan for evaluation of a women's empowerment program within a church setting
No full textThis dissertation focuses on the process of clarifying, designing and planning for the evaluation of a Women’s Empowerment Program for individuals who were members of, or affiliated with, a church in an urban community and were interested in self-improvement and growth. The program had been implemented initially by the First Lady of the church (the pastor’s wife). She had requested this evaluation process to assess the needs of the participants and to re-design the program. Maher’s (2000) program planning and evaluation framework was used to complete this process. Literature concerning working with African-American/Latina women and collaboration with faith-based organizations informed the design for the program. This dissertation was conducted with the intent to benefit the specific population of women involved in the program, to contribute to the literature, and to expand knowledge concerning mental health interventions in faith based organizations. Its intention was also to model reaching out to the community for resources in the treatment of diverse populations. Maher’s program planning and evaluation framework consists of four phases: clarification, design, implementation and evaluation. The implementation phase was beyond the scope of this dissertation but an evaluation plan was developed to be utilized during a future implementation. During the Clarification Phase, an assessment of the women’s needs and the relevant context was conducted. Results of the needs assessment revealed that women at the church had difficulties in the areas of (a) emotion-regulation; (b) problem-solving; (c) communication; and (d) spiritual growth, which had an impact on their daily living. The program was re-designed based on the needs identified in the Clarification Phase. The program was entitled the Women’s Empowerment Program and consisted of iii a monthly group designed to teach women skills to improve the identified needs. Following the program design, a plan for evaluation was created in order to provide a documented process that would lead to determining whether the program had added value and benefited the participants. Constraints of the dissertation are noted and recommendations are provided for future implementation and evaluation of the program. Implications for partnerships between faith-based organizations and mental health professionals are also provided.Psy. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Danielle Rene Narkau
