    Jeanne Favret-Saada constrói um plano metodológico inteiramente novo na antropologia  que reconhecemos  nas dobras de seus textos várias linhas de criação e diferentes ideias-ferramentas que podem ser experimentadas por outros/as praticantes da pesquisa na antropologia. Como uma caixa de ferramentas, seus textos oferecem, mais do que pontos de apoio, linhas de derivação e flutuação que apontam caminhos para criação etnográfica. A ideia de traduzir esses três artigos de Jeanne Favret-Saada surgiu da nossa compreensão comum sobre a importância de seu modo de fazer e de conceber a antropologia que a autora propagou na disciplina e que fertilizou nossos respectivos trabalhos. A nossa proposta de trazer esses três textos para os/as leitores/as da Cadernos de Campo nasce de um desejo de que sua obra –profundamente original e provocadora– seja mais conhecida do público brasileiro. Os artigos são elaborações mais recentes em que a autora retoma três momentos de sua obra: pesquisa etnográfica sobre feitiçaria, pesquisa com material de imprensa sobre polêmicas públicas religiosas e pesquisa em arquivos da Igreja Católica. Nas transições das questões intelectuais de cada artigo, podemos ver as ferramentas criadas por Jeanne Favret-Saada.Jeanne Favret- Saada construye un plan metodológico completamente nuevo en la antropología.

Los artículos son elaboraciones  recientes en los que la autora retoma tres momentos de su obra: la investigación etnográfica sobre brujería, investigación con material de prensa sobre polémicas públicas religiosas e investigación en los archivos de la Iglesia Católica. En las transcripciones de las cuestiones intelectuales de cada artículo, podemos ver las herramientas creadas por Jeanne Favret- SaadaJeanne Favret-Saada builds an entirely new methodological plan in anthropology, which we recognize in the folds of her texts various lines of creation and different tool-ideas that can be experimented with by other practitioners of research in anthropology. As a toolbox, her texts offer, more than points of support, derivation and fluctuation lines that point paths to ethnographic creation. The idea of ​​translating these three articles by Jeanne Favret-Saada emerged from our common understanding of the importance of her way of doing and conceiving the anthropology that the author propagated in the discipline and that fertilized our respective works. Our proposal to bring these three texts to the readers of Cadernos de Campo was born out of a desire that her work – profoundly original and provocative – would be better known to the Brazilian public. The articles are more recent elaborations in which the author takes up three moments of her work: ethnographic research on witchcraft, research with press material on religious public polemics and research in the archives of the Catholic Church. In the transitions of the intellectual issues of each article, we can see the tools created by Jeanne Favret-Saada

    Non-criticality criteria for Abelian sandpile models with sources and sinks

    No full text
    We prove that the Abelian sandpile model on a random binary and binomial tree, as introduced in Redig, Ruszel, and Saada [J. Stat. Phys. 147, 653-677 (2012)], is not critical for all branching probabilities p < 1; by estimating the tail of the annealed survival time of a random walk on the binary tree with randomly placed traps, we obtain some more information about the exponential tail of the avalanche radius. Next we study the sandpile model on Zd with some additional dissipative sites: we provide examples and sufficient conditions for non-criticality; we also make a connection with the parabolic Anderson model. Finally we initiate the study of the sandpile model with both sources and sinks and give a sufficient condition for non-criticality in the presence of a finite number of sources, using a connection with the homogeneous pinning model.Applied Probabilit

    Adapting authoritarianism: institutions and co-optation in Egypt and Syria

    No full text
    This PhD thesis compares Egypt and Syria’s authoritarian political systems. While the tendency in social science political research treats Egypt and Syria as similarly authoritarian, this research emphasizes differences between the two systems with special reference to institutions and co-optation. Rather than reducibly understanding Egypt and Syria as sharing similar histories, institutional arrangements, or ascribing to the oft-repeated convention that “Syria is Egypt but 10 years behind,” this thesis focuses on how events and individual histories shaped each states current institutional strengthens and weaknesses. Specifically, it explains the how varying institutional politicization or de-politicization affects each state’s capabilities for co-opting elite and non-elite individuals. Beginning with a theoretical framework that considers the limited utility of democratization and transition theoretical approaches, the work underscores the persistence and durability of authoritarianism. Chapter two details the politicized institutional divergence between Egypt and Syria that began in the 1970s. Chapter three and four examines how institutional politicization or de-politicization affects elite and non-elite individual co-optation in Egypt and Syria. Chapter five discusses the study’s general conclusions and theoretical implications. This thesis’s argument is that Egypt and Syria co-opt elites and non-elites differently because of the varying degrees of institutional politicization in each governance system. Rather than view one country as more politically developed than the other, this work argues that Syria’s political institutions are more politicized than their Egyptian counterparts. Syria’s political arena is, thus, described as politicized-patrimonialism. Syria’s politicized-patrimonial arena produces uneven co-optation of elites and non-elites as they are diffused through competing institutions. Conversely, the Egyptian political arena remains highly personalized as weak institutions and individuals are manipulated and molded according to the president’s ruling clique. This is referred to as personalized-patrimonialism. As a consequence, Egypt’s political establishment demonstrates more flexibility in ad hoc altering and adapting its arena depending on the emergence of crises. This study’s theoretical implications suggest that, contrary to modernization and democratization theory’s adage that institutions lead to a political development, politicized institutions within a patrimonial order actually hinder regime adaptation because consensus is harder to achieve and maintain. It is within this context that Egypt’s de-politicized institutional framework advantages its top political elite. In this reading of Egyptian and Syrian politics, Egypt’s personalized political arena is more adaptable than Syria’s. These conclusions do not indicate that political reform is a process underway in either state

    Liidi : kuinka saada lämpimiä liidejä

    No full text
    Tämä opinnäyte työ käsittelee sitä, miten B2B-yritys eli Business-to-Business yritys voi saada ja kerätä lämpimiä liidejä mahdollisimman tehokkaasti. Opinnäytetyössä perehdytään siihen, mitä liidi tarkoittaa ja minkälaisia eri muotoja siitä on, miten liidejä kerätään ja miten niitä voi jalostaa eteenpäin. Opinnäytetyön sisältö on muodostunut tekijän kokemuksista, sekä blogeista, internet kirjoituksista ja kirjoista perehdytyn teoreettisen tiedon perusteella. Opinnäytetyön sisältöön on kirjoitettu esimerkkejä selventämään teoriaa oman kokemuksen ja havaintojen perusteella. Opinnäytetyölle ei ole toimeksiantajaa. Idean opinnäytetyön aiheeseen syntyi työharjoittelussa B2B-digimarkkinointiyrityksessä, joka tarjoaa pienyrittäjille digimarkkinointipalveluita kuten Facebook-mainontaa, Instagam-mainontaa, Googlessa kohdennusmainontaa sekä bannerimainontaa. Teoriaosuudessa käsitellään liidejä ja niiden eri muotoja, mitä liidit merkitsevät yritykselle, mitä eri tapoja on kerätä liidejä sekä miten liidejä pisteytetään. Tämän jälkeen käsitellään sisältömarkkinointia, minkä jälkeen siirrytään liidien pisteyttämiseen sekä jalostamiseen. Työssä perehdytään myös toimenpiteisiin, joita yritys voi tehdä, jotta mahdolliset liidit kiinnostuisivat juuri tästä digimarkkinointiyrityksestä ja saisivat heidät hakeutumaan itse yrityksen asiakkaiksi. Teoriaosuuden jälkeen siirrytään tiivistettyyn koosteeseen liidien keräämiseen ja niiden saamiseksi lämpimiksi liideiksi. Viimeisenä lukuna on johtopäätökset koko opinnäytetyöstä saaduista ja löydetyistä tuloksista sekä pohditaan kehitysideoita.This thesis examines how a B2B, business-to-business company, can get and collect warm leads as efficiently as possible. It explores what a lead means and explains different kinds of leads, as well as how to collect leads and how to process them. The content of the thesis is based on the author’s experience and theoretical knowledge re-ceived from blogs, the Internet and literature. The theory is clarified according to the author´s own experiences and observations. The idea for the thesis came up during a practical training in a B2B digital marketing company that offers digital marketing services such as Facebook advertising, Instagram advertising, Google advertising and banner advertising for small business owners. The theoretical part is a review of different kinds of leads. What do leads mean to a company? What are the different ways to collect leads? How to score the leads? This is followed by a discussion on content marketing, after which scoring and nurturing the leads will be discussed. The thesis also explores the measures that a company can take to make potential customers interested in this particular digital marketing company and make them independently seek to the sphere of influence of the company. After the theoretical part there will be a summary of how to collect leads and make them into warm leads. The final conclusion consists of the results obtained as well as reflection on de-velopment ideas

    Symmetric simple exclusion process in dynamic environment: hydrodynamics

    No full text
    International audienceWe consider the symmetric simple exclusion process in Zd\mathbb Z^d with quenched bounded dynamic random conductances and prove its hydrodynamic limit in path space. The main tool is the connection, due to the self-duality of the process, between the invariance principle for single particles starting from all points and the macroscopicbehavior of the density field. While the hydrodynamic limit at fixed macroscopic times is obtained via a generalization to the time-inhomogeneous context of the strategy introduced in [41], in order to prove tightness for the sequence of empirical density fields we develop a new criterion based on the notion of uniform conditional stochastic continuity, following [50]. In conclusion, we show that uniform elliptic dynamic conductances provide an example of environments in which the so-called arbitrary starting point invariance principle may be derived from the invariance principle of asingle particle starting from the origin. Therefore, our hydrodynamics result applies to the examples of quenched environments considered in, e.g., [1], [3], [6] in combination with the hypothesis of uniform ellipticity

    Death at your heels: When ethnographic writing propagates the force of witchcraft

    No full text
    International audienceSince the publication (in 1977) of her book on witchcraft in the Bocage of western France, the author has received numerous requests to help dewitch people. These requests came from readers convinced, despite the fact that they were raised in a cultural context devoid of witchcraft, they had been bewitched in the same way as Bocage peasants. How could they rid themselves of the series of incomprehensible misfortunes they faced? In this article, the author analyzes three dimensions of “belief”: 1) the prepositional content of a subject’s belief, 2) the range of different possible attitudes towards this content, and 3) a given subject’s shifting attachment to a particular attitude. Beyond the potential cultural differences between bewitched Bocage peasants and readers of an ethnography (who may, of course, overlap), a common, transcultural ground exists, without which the transfer of witchcraft from one world to another would seem incomprehensible. Witchcraft thought’s common core allows us to infer the figure of the dewitcher, the structures of dewitching, and understand why urban readers, convinced they have death on their heels, turn to an ethnographer of witchcraft to save them

    Mean-field avalanche size exponent for sandpiles on Galton–Watson trees

    No full text
    We show that in Abelian sandpiles on infinite Galton–Watson trees, the probability that the total avalanche has more than t topplings decays as t- 1 / 2. We prove both quenched and annealed bounds, under suitable moment conditions. Our proofs are based on an analysis of the conductance martingale of Morris (Probab Theory Relat Fields 125:259–265, 2003), that was previously used by Lyons et al. (Electron J Probab 13(58):1702–1725, 2008) to study uniform spanning forests on Zd, d≥ 3 , and other transient graphs.Applied Probabilit
