Perception de l'arbre en contexte Sahélien
No full textInternational audienceDans le cadre de l’OHMi – Téssékéré et de l’ANR « Future Sahel », une recherche est conduite sur les usages des arbres en tant que pourvoyeur de ressources et vecteurs de services écosystémiques pour les acteurs locaux. En fonction du degré d’enclavement des zones concernées par l’étude, mais aussi des espèces botaniques accessibles et des pratiques culturelles et culturales locales qui leur sont associées, l’arbre sera utilisé (ou non) dans son intégralité (et peut-être différemment) par les hommes ou leurs troupeaux.Cette dépendance critique met l’ensemble des services écosystémiques liés aux arbres en tension et mieux comprendre la place qu’occupe l’arbre dans l’espace perçu et l’espace vécu des populations sahéliennes devient un facteur clef la gestion des ressources naturelles et plus particulièrement pour les stratégies de reboisement lancé dans le cadre de la grande muraille verte au Sénégal. Cette meilleure compréhension constitue également un des éléments clés de l’accroissement de résilience socio-environnementale dans une zone où cette végétation est fortement dégradée par le surpâturage et où la ressource végétale bien exploitée et valorisée pourrait beaucoup mieux pouvoir qu’actuellement au bien-être des populations et à leur résilience économique.Pour comprendre et explorer la manière dont les acteurs perçoivent les ressources liées aux arbres et la manière dont ils les mobilisent individuellement ou collectivement, un travail de recherche en cours. Réalisé par Khoudia Niang, ethnobotaniste et écologue, et animé par Deborah Goffner, il vise à mettre en évidence les relations et les types d’utilisation que les acteurs ont avec les arbres dans des systèmes socio-ecologiques contrastés situés sur le tracé de la Grande Muraille Verte (GMV). Ce travail prend la forme d’une enquête par questionnaires complétée d’entretiens en focus-groups. Il conduira à l’élaboration et à la formalisation d’une cartographie des « éco-socio-patches » basée sur les techniques de l’écologie du paysage et réalisée avec le concours de Jean-Luc Peiry, et à l’élaboration d’un modèle informatique individus-centrés, réalisé par Etienne Delay.Ces formalisations (spatiales et comportementales) au sein d’un modèle spatialement explicite permettront d’alimenter des ateliers participatifs avec les acteurs locaux durant lesquels le modèle sera confronté, validé, ou infirmé par les acteurs dans une approche itérative visant à traduire de manière acceptable les dynamiques spatio-temporelles qui sont à l’œuvre sur le tracé de la GMV.L’exploration du système, menée conjointement par entretiens et questionnaires et combinée avec un formalisme à base d’agents dans une approche participative, nous permettra d’explorer deux facettes de la perception des arbres en milieux sahéliens : i) identifier la manière dont les populations locales perçoivent les changements dans leur environnement et les répercussions que cela a sur leurs pratiques ii) projeter dans le temps ces changements de pratiques pour évaluer leurs impacts sur le système sahélien. Dans ce travail nous nous inscrivons dans une approche conceptuelle où l’événement social est le produit, du comportement d’un agrégat d’individus (individualisme méthodologique) et nous aurons abondamment recours aux sciences de la complexité (analyse des émergences, modélisation individu-centré)
The Illuminated Lyric of Lafracoth
No full textA medieval historical fiction in dramatic form for older adolescents and adults, this verse play depicts a person of conscience in early 12th century Ireland. This work is intended for late adolescents and adults who have either acquired or are engaged in higher education. The author envisions uses in classrooms, drama and book clubs in which conscience sensitive character analyses and discussions of moral life in and out of religious contexts are deemed worthy of pursuit.
The original 2008 version of The Lyric of Lafracoth without illustrations can be found at: https://hdl.handle.net/1805/16779
In this illustrated version, artist Deborah C. Galvin was asked to create five illuminations for the letters P, A, C, E and M which figure prominently in the conflicted story of Lafracoth and her father. Deborah obliged but was not satisfied with just five. Over the two years 2008-2010, she completed sixteen times that many. In 2012, these were exhibited in a crafted parchment paper version of the manuscript at The Helen Beiser MD Art Show during the 59th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in San Francisco and again that same year at the Fourth Annual Indiana University School of Medicine Art Exhibition in Indianapolis

In the Steps of Jael and Deborah: Judith as Heroine
No full textJudith is one of the most memorable characters in Hebrew literature. In a remarkable story of courage and resourcefulness, she saves her people by one single action that is both compelling and repugnant. Leading female characters are rare enough in Israelite literature to be constantly compared with one another, and Judith has often been likened to Miriam, Deborah, Jael, the wise women of Tekoa and Abelbeth-Maacah, and Esther. And this is not an exhaustive list! I would like to argue that the comparison to Jael and Deborah is neither superficial nor coincidental, but that the author of Judith had the story of Jael and Deborah in the front of his mind as he wrote his story. In fact, in my judgment the author of Judith used the story of Jael and Deborah as the model for the story of Judith.
The first parallel to draw between the stories is the obvious one: a heroine slays an enemy of Israel singlehandedly, by attacking his head. This is, in fact, the correspondence that drew me to the two stories in the first place. However, as I began to investigate the stories, I noticed that many other exact similarities were present, in plot, character and actions. Many of these parallels have been noted by other commentators before me. However, no one, as far as I have been able to verify, has brought them all together in one place. When they are drawn together, I think that it will be plain that the author of Judith used the story of Jael and Deborah in Judges 4 and 5 as a model, and that the actions of the heroine, Judith, parallel the actions of the two heroines in Judges 4 and 5, Jael and Deborah. In this paper I will demonstrate exact similarities in the structure and plot of the stories, the characters of the stories, and certain elements common to both, particularly the song of victory
