Gender and pedagogics - Mathilde Vaerting, professor of educational science (Jena, 1923-1933)
No full textDer 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?).

Effi Briest, Mathilde Möhring. The Development of Theodor Fontane's Female Characters on the Background of Women Emancipation.
No full textTheodore 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 textInternational 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
Book review: Photography of protest and community: the radical collectives of the 1970s by Noni Stacey
No full textIn 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.

Piano music of Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden (1857-1944)
No full textThesis (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 textInternational 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
Studying effects of real-life therapeutic strategies on disability progression in patients with relapsing-onset multiple sclerosis
No full textLa sclérose en plaques (SEP) est une maladie neurologique chronique affectant le jeune adulte. Dans sa forme la plus fréquente, la forme rémittente, elle évolue par poussée. A long-terme, celles-ci peuvent laisser des séquelles et conduire à un handicap irréversible. Depuis le milieu des années 90, le répertoire des traitements de fond spécifiques de la SEP ne cesse d’évoluer faisant émerger différentes stratégies thérapeutiques, définies à partir des caractéristiques des patients et du profil bénéfice/risque des traitements. L’efficacité des traitements de fond en vie réelle a déjà été explorée mais a conduit à des résultats controversés. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’évaluer l’efficacité des traitements et des stratégies thérapeutiques en vie réelle sur la progression du handicap. L’objectif secondaire était d’explorer les méthodes de score de propension, utilisées dans le but de contrôler le biais d’indication. Ce travail a été réalisé à partir des données de l’Observatoire Français de la Sclérose en Plaques (OFSEP), principalement collectées au cours des consultations en centre expert SEP. Ce travail a été organisé autour de trois axes. L’évaluation de l’effet des traitements de première ligne injectables a mené à utiliser une méthode basée sur un score de propension dépendant du temps, conduisant à ne pas montrer de bénéfice à long terme, résultat probablement altéré par de la confusion résiduelle. La comparaison de deux traitements de deuxième ligne, natalizumab et fingolimod, a conduit à confirmer la supériorité du natalizumab sur la progression du handicap et a offert l‘opportunité d’explorer l’impact des méthodes utilisant les scores de propension sur les résultats. Enfin, les différentes stratégies thérapeutiques ont été décrites en France, des résultats préliminaires sur leur efficacité ont été proposés.Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease starting in early adulthood. Relapsing-onset MS is the most common phenotype and defined as occurrence of relapses, a relapse being defined as apparition or worsening of new symptoms. At long term, symptoms get worst and lead to irreversible disability. Since the mid-1990s, the arsenal of specific MS disease-modifying drugs has evolved, leading to different therapeutic strategies based on patient’s characteristics and benefit/risk profile of treatment. The main objective of this PhD thesis was to assess the effectiveness of treatments and therapeutic strategies in real-life on disability progression. The secondary objective was to explore the propensity score methods used to control indication bias. This work was based upon observational data from the “Observatoire Français de la Sclérose en plaques” (OFSEP), mainly collected at consultations in MS expert center. This work was organized around three axes. The evaluation of the effect of first-line injectable treatments led to the use of a method based on a time-dependent propensity score. No benefit was shown on long-term outcome, but this result was probably altered by residual confusion. Comparison of second-line treatments (natalizumab and fingolimod) confirmed the superiority of natalizumab on disability progression and provided the opportunity to explore the impact of methods using propensity scores on results. Finally, the different usual therapeutic strategies were described in France, and preliminary results on their effectiveness were proposed
