    Der Aufsatz skizziert Leben und Karriere von Mathilde Vaerting (1884-1977), der ersten Professorin für Erziehungswissenschaft in Deutschland, Jena 1923-1933. Ihr Hauptwerk „Neubegründung der Psychologie von Mann und Weib", 1921ff., wird unter Aspekten der Forschungslogik analysiert und auf Konsequenzen für die Erziehungswissenschaft befragt. Ihre Forderung nach Gleichberechtigung und Abwehr jeglicher Herrschaft werden vor dem Hintergrund heutiger feministischer Forderungen diskutiert. Im Anschluß an die Betrachtung der zeitgenössischen Rezeption Mathilde Vaertings wird die Frage aufgeworfen, inwieweit ihr Leben und ihre Karriere die Stellung der Frau in der Wissenschaft während der zwanziger Jahre (und auch später?) spiegeln. (DIPF/Orig.)The author outlines the biography and career of Mathilde Vaerting (1884-1977), the first woman to hold a chair in educational science in Germany. Her major work - Neubegründung der Psychologie von Mannund Weib (1921 fol.) - is analyzed from a methodological point of view and with respect to its implications for educational research. Vaerting\u27s demands for equal rights for women and her rejection of any kind of domination are discussed within the framework of present feminist positions. After having studied how contemporaries reacted to Mathilde Vaerting\u27s writings, the author raises the question of whether Vaerting\u27s life and career reflect the Status of women in science during the 1920s (and later on?).

    Le développement de la phase SIDA (Syndrome de l'ImmunoDéficience Acquise) chez les patients infectés par le virus VIH-1 (Virus de l'Immunodéficience Humaine) se caractérise par une diminution progressive du nombre de cellules T CD4. Orla majorité des cellules constituant cette déplétion sont non-infectées et appelées "bystander". En 2006, notre équipe a montré que le contact entre les cellules infectées exprimant les glycoprotéines de l’enveloppe (Env) et les cellules noninfectées exprimant les récepteurs CD4 et CXCR4 déclenche au sein de ces dernières la voie d’autophagie, ce qui mène à une mort cellulaire par apoptose. L'autophagie est un processus impliqué dans la dégradation de matériel cytoplasmiqueaprès sa séquestration au sein de vacuoles dans lesquelles il sera dégradé puis recyclé. Ce processus peut être hautement sélectif par l'action de protéines réceptrices tels que p62 ou NBR1.L’objectif de mon projet de thèse vise à comprendre comment l'autophagie induite par Env mène les cellules T CD4 bystander à leur mort par apoptose. Une précédente étude menée par notre équipe a démontré que les changements induits par Env au sein de ces cellules T CD4 non infectées comprenaient la production d’espèces oxygénées réactives (ROS) menant à un état de stress oxydatif. Nous montré que le stress oxydatif induit par Env est impliqué dans la mort des cellules T CD4 bystander par apoptose. Nous avons également observé que l’autophagie doit être dégradative pourmener ces cellules T CD4 à leur mort par apoptose. De plus, nous avons observé une dégradation des protéines peroxysomales par l’autophagie induite par Env dans le même modèle. Les peroxysomes sont des organelles essentielles de la cellule qui sont en partie responsables de la détoxification des ROS dans la cellule. Leur nombre est régulé par une dégradation sélective autophagique que l’on appelle la pexophagie.Dès lors, nous étudions l’hypothèse de l'induction par Env d’une dégradation sélective des systèmes antioxydants de la cellule par autophagie dans les cellules T CD4 bystander. Les peroxysomes étant des organites responsables de la réponse au stress oxydatif, leur dégradation sélective pourrait empêcher la cellule de faire face au stress oxydatif qu’elle subit et la mener vers une mort cellulaire par apoptose. En conclusion, nous montrons que l’autophagie induite par Env dégrade un système antioxydant important qui est un facteur clé nécessaire à la survie des cellules T CD4 bystander pour réduire le stress oxydatif induit par Env.The development of AIDS (Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome) in HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)-infected patients is characterized by a progressive decrease in the number of CD4 T cells. The majority of dying cells are noninfected and called bystander CD4 T cells. In 2006, our team demonstrated that the contact between infected cells (expressing the envelope glycoproteins (Env)) and non-infected cells (expressing the CD4 and CXCR4 receptors) was responsible for enhancing the autophagic pathway which lead to their cellular death by apoptosis. The autophagicpathway is involved in the degradation of cytoplasmic material after its sequestration into vacuoles wherein it will be degraded and then recycled. This process can be highly selective through the involvement of receptor proteins such asp62 or NBR1.We aim at understanding how Env-mediated autophagy can lead to apoptosis in bystander CD4 T cells. A precedent workof our team showed that the changes induced by Env in bystander CD4 T cells included the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to an oxidative stress state. We showed that the oxidative stress induced by Env is involved in thecellular death by apoptosis of bystander CD4 T cells. We also show that the autophagic process involved has to be a degradative process to lead these CD4 T cells to their death by apoptosis. Moreover, we have observed that Env-mediatedautophagy was degrading peroxisomal proteins. Peroxisomes are essential organelles in the cell responsible partly for the detoxification of ROS in the cell. Their number is regulated through a selective autophagic degradation known aspexophagy.Therefore, we hypothesized that Env induced a selective degradation by autophagy of the cell antioxidant system in bystander CD4 T cells. Since peroxisomes are responsible for regulating the cellular response to an oxidative stress state, their selective degradation could prevent the cell from overcoming this event and eventually lead to its death by apoptosis. In conclusion, we are showing that Env-mediated autophagy degrades important antioxidant systems which are a key survival factor necessary to the bystander CD4 T cells to reduce the oxidative stress induced by Env

    Effi Briest, Mathilde Möhring. The Development of Theodor Fontane's Female Characters on the Background of Women Emancipation.

    No full text
    Theodore Fontane is best known as the author of numerous women's novels, which he wrote in the last ten years of his life. This diploma thesis deals with the topic of women's emancipation on the basis of textual analysis of two latter novels by Theodore Fontane - Effi Briest and Mathilde Möhring. In the first part, it characterizes the topic of the period women's emancipation and puts the author's biography into context. In the second part, it creates the picture of position of the main women characters. The last part describes the personal development of the women characters, on the basis of which I determine how much the women's emancipation reflects in the author's work and what is his attitude towards it. This thesis deals with the interpretation of the author's intent to illustrate the creation of an advanced character like Mathilde Möhring. Key words: Theodore Fontane, women's emancipation, Effi Briest, Mathilde Möhring, development of women's characters, women's novels, interpretation, author's intent, counterpoin

    Tunisian Politics in France: Long-Distance Activism since the 1980s

    No full text
    International audienceWhat does it mean to oppose or support an authoritarian regime from afar? During the years of Ben Ali's dictatorship in Tunisia between 1987 and 2011, diaspora activism played a key role in the developments of post-independence Tunisian politics. Centring this study on long-distance activism in France, where the majority of leftist and Islamist exile groups took refuge, Mathilde Zederman explores how this activism helps to shed new light on Tunisia's political history. Tunisian Politics in France closely explores the interactions and conflicts between different constellations of pro-regime and oppositional actors in France, examining the dynamics of what the author persuasively describes as a 'trans-state space of mobilisation'. In doing so, Zederman draws attention to the constraints and possibilities of long-distance activism. Utilising material gathered from extensive fieldwork in France and Tunisia, this study considers how the evolution of diaspora activism both challenges and reinforces the boundaries of Tunisian politics

    In Photography of Protest and Community: The Radical Collectives of the 1970s, Noni Stacey shows how a 1970s network of London-based photography collectives raised fundamental questions about the politics of photography, the role and responsibilities of photographers in relation to local communities and the uses of photography in the context of social activism. This book is a welcome addition to the expanding field of research on the photography of protest, writes Mathilde Bertrand, contributing to the ongoing documentation of this strong current in British photographic history. If you are interested in this book review, you can read an LSE RB interview with author Dr Noni Stacey.

    Thesis (D.M.A.)--Boston University PLEASE NOTE: Boston University Libraries did not receive an Authorization To Manage form for this thesis or dissertation. It is therefore not openly accessible, though it may be available by request. If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you.This dissertation examines the life and music of Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden (1857-1944), with a focus on her piano solo works. This project is intended to bring new light to the forgotten late-romantic Austrian composer. As a pupil of Anton Bruckner, and as a colleague of Gustav Mahler, Kralik's style belongs to the late Romantic period in Vienna. Her musical aesthetics are similar to the styles of Schubert, Liszt, Schumann, Wolf, Mahler, and StraufS; however she had her own unique voice from the beginning of her musical career. Though she was an active composer, performer, and musical figure of her time and was recognized and respected by the Viennese society, her life and work remain greatly understudied. Chapter 1 presents a detailed biographical background of Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden. Chapter 2 provides a complete list of work by Mathilde Kralik. Chapter 3 depicts the political background of her time, and then discusses the situation of women as artists in Vienna between 1850 and 19 50. Chapter 4 focuses on two people in her closest circle: her elder brother, Richard Kralik, who was a renowned writer and cultural commentator; and her friend, Alice Scarlates, who was a lecturer for Roman language at the University of Vienna and lived with Kralik in the same house in Wiener Cottage-Viertel for over 30 years. Chapter 5 analyzes her 5 Klavierstiicke- Festmarsh, Triiumerei, Liedchen, Intermezzo, and Gavotte. Chapter 6 continues the analysis with her other major piano solo work: Priiludium, Passacaglia, und Fugato. Lastly, Chapter 7 discusses the public and critical reception of her music, both during her time and in the modern era. The purpose of this project is first, to discover new sounds from a past style; second, to give credit to a serious, prolific, and independent female composer, who bravely chose a career with special challenges in her time and her surroundings; third, to encourage further research and performances of Kralik's works

    " Critique d'art au féminin au 19e siècle : Mathilde Stevens "

    No full text
    International audienceMathilde Stevens started being really famous with Les Impressions d'une femme au Salon de 1859, which was first published as a serial. She wrote about the paintings in Le Salon and about painting generally. The artistic world was well-known to her: her husband was Arthur Stevens, the famous Belgian art critic and art dealer. Although she is now mostly forgotten, she was one of the most highly regarded women in Paris of the 1880s. She inspired Guy de Maupassant when he created Madame Forestier in Bel-Ami. Talking about her life is to discover who shaped her ideas about painting. Her taste for Romantic landscapes comes from her husband's love for the Barbizon School. Charles Baudelaire and his Salon de 1846 also inspired her: she took up his comparison between Painting and Musical harmony as well as the importance of memory. In spite of these men's influences, Les Impressions d'une femme au salon de 1859 is definitely a female text. Often, the author reminds the reader of her sexual identity, her thoughts are typically feminine: shallow and lightweight. In fact, Mathilde Stevens seems to caricature stereotypical female behaviour. Is it a strategy? In fact, she doesn't compete with male critics: she can write and think more freely.Cette femme de lettres, aujourd'hui tombée dans l'oubli, fut une des figures des plus en vue de la société parisienne des années 1880. Elle inspira à Guy de Maupassant le personnage de Mme Forestier dans Bel-Ami. Si cette figure atypique mérite que l'on s'attarde sur son existence, c'est pour découvrir qui a influencé sa conception de la Peinture. Elle a ainsi emprunté à son mari, marchand des artistes de l'école de Barbizon, son goût pour les paysages romantiques. On retrouve également certaines idées développées par Charles Baudelaire dans son Salon de 1846. Mathilde Stevens reprend son analogie entre peinture et harmonie musicale ainsi que le rôle important joué par la mémoire dans l'appréciation d'une œuvre. À bien y regarder, Mathilde Stevens semble avoir caricaturé le comportement féminin. Est-ce une stratégie de sa part ? Si son appartenance au " beau sexe " la marginalise et la discrédite quelque peu auprès de ses confrères masculins, elle lui offre paradoxalement un vaste champ de liberté. Étant une critique " hors norme ", elle n'a, de ce fait, aucun modèle, aucun discours à reproduire pour être entendue du grand public
