Comment écrire une biographie d’artiste : Sacha Sosno et l’art d’oblitération
No full textL’auteure explore les contraintes – « obstacles narratifs » – qui pèsent sur les biographies d’artistes et pose la question : peut-on faire d’une vie (d’artiste) une étude, qui ne soit pas en même temps un récit ? Voir une vie comme une trajectoire, ainsi que le préconisait Bourdieu, ce serait croiser les paramètres et les variables pour une analyse de vie. Un cas exemplaire est exposé, celui de l’unification (la mise sous tension) d’un récit de vie par le concept-clé présidant à une pratique : l’oblitération comme le fil rouge (ou noir) qui parcourt avec ténacité et cohérence la vie créative du sculpteur contemporain Sacha Sosno.The author explores the constraints – “narrative obstacles” – which burden artists’ biographies and asks the following question: is it possible to write the study of a life (of an artist), without writing a tale at the same time? To see someone’s life as a trajectory, as Bourdieu would have recommended, would mean combining parameters and variables for a life analysis. An exemplary case is exposed, of the unification (the switching on) of a life narrative seen through a key-concept ordering a specific practice: the obliteration of things as a linking thread running coherently through the creative life of contemporary sculptor Sacha Sosno
Yakutian works by Wacław Sieroszewski in the context of the transformation of Sacha (Yakuts) national consciousness
No full textDissertation
with topic “
Yakutian works by Wacław Sieroszewski in the context of the
transformation of Sacha (Yakuts) national consciousness
” presented in the field of cultural
studies.
This piece attempts to analyse Wacław Sieroszewski's body of work on Sacha culture,
within the context of the transformation of the consciousness of successive generations of
Yakutians over two centuries. The aim was to present a perspective that would differ from the
existing conceptualizations of this Polish writer's work, and would al
low us to see the possibility
of new interpretations of the interdisciplinary heritage of the author’s book “
Twelve year in the
Yakut country
”, 1900. This approach is useful for the study of contemporary Sacha culture,
including the overlapping of many dis
ciplines
-
cultural studies, ethnography, history,
psychology, literature, oriental studies, anthropology and linguistics.
From the insider's native perspective the author analyses the materials devoted to Sacha
culture
as collected and compiled in this late nineteenth century exile's research. It should be
noted that this is the first analysis of Sieroszewski's writing heritage in the Polish language by
a Yakutian researcher (that is to say, from the perspective of a "n
ative" in the colonial context).
This academic project seeks to balance the complex, heterogeneous nature of colonialist
narratives against the ongoing struggle of the Sacha for effective dialogue on the cutting edge
of post
-
colonialist territorial realit
y.
This dissertation attempts to analyse the contemporary and current perception of
Russian influence, although the process of colonization is not the centre of attention research.
The work has also used postcolonial discourse, which is an important aspec
t of supposed
“mental decolonisation” (or the mental process of removal of “Empire”.
This PhD study analysing the Yakutian legacy of the Polish writer's themes emerged
from the assertion that the main goal of Wacław Sieroszewski works was the criticism of
imperialism and colonialism, the formulation of themes of cultural independence.Przedstawiona praca
w zakresie ku
lturoznawstwa pt. „Jakuckie prace Wacława
Sieroszewskiego w kontekście przemian świadomości narodowej Sacha (Jakutów)”, analizuje
twórcze dziedzictwo Wacława Sieroszewskiego dotyczące kultury Sacha, ujęte w kontekście
trwającego ponad dwa wieki procesu przeobrażenia świadomości kolejnych pokoleń Jakutów.
Celem było ukazanie perspektywy, która różniłaby się od dotyc
hczasowych koncept
ualizacji
twórczości
polskiego pisarza
oraz pozwoliłaby dostrzec możliwości nowych pogłębionych
interpretacji interdyscyplinarnej spuścizny autora
powieści
Dwunastu lat w kraju Jakutów.
Takie podejście jest przydatne dla współczesnych badań kultury Sacha,
obejmujących
pogranicza wielu dyscyplin
–
kulturoznawstwa, etnografii, historii, psychologii, literatury,
orientalistyki, antropologii i językoznawstwa.
Przez wizje badacza własnej kultury autor analizuje materiały poświęcone kulturze

–
dokonanych z perspektywy insidera (zaangażowanego podmiotu). Należy
zauważyć, że jest to pierwsza synteza spuścizny pisarskiej Sieroszewskiego dokonana w języku
polskim przez badaczkę
jakucką (znaczenie kategorii „native”).
Praca stara się przybliżyć skomplikowaną i niejednorodną naturę kulturowych i
cywilizacyjnych konwersacji, żeby następne przedstawić zachowaną kulturową odmienność
narodu Sacha, która dąży we współczesności do dialo
gu na pograniczach kultur i cywilizacji.
W rozprawie doktorskiej analizowana jest specyfika postrzegania rosyjskiej kolonizacji
jakuckim społeczeństwem, chociaż sam proces kolonizacji nie jest w centrum uwagi
badawczej. W pracy również został zastosowany d
yskurs postkolonialny, który jest istotnym
polem do dekolonizacji umysłowej, tzn. procesu
usunięcia „imperium z umysłów".
Doktorantka
dla przeprowadzenia analizy spuścizny polskiego pisarza na jakucką tematykę
wychodziła z założenia
,
że głównym celem twórc
zości Wacława Sieroszewskiego
była krytyka
imperializmu,
kolonializmu oraz sformułowanie haseł niepodległościowych, przynajmniej w
zakresie kulturowym.
Badanie spójnego rozwoju tradycyjnego jakuckiego społeczeństwa pozwala lepiej
prześledzić ciągłość międ
zy przeszłością a teraźniejszością. Główną problemem było
rozważenie zebranych
przez Wacława
Sieroszewskiego danych z punktu widzenia
współczesnej nauki, ponieważ przez długi czas jakuckie pracy Sieroszewskiego byli
analizowane przez pryzmat teorii i metod
ologii XIX wieku. Dopiero rozpatrzenie tego
problemu wobec innych czynników historycznych oraz kompleksowej analizy źródeł pozwoliły
uzasadnić
współczesną rolę jego prac
An autoethnography: a black woman student transitioning to black married mamahood while in higher education
No full textThis research examines my journey as a Black woman student who transitions to Black married mamahood. This study utilizes the qualitative inquiry method of Black Feminist Autoethnography which is grounded in Black Feminist Theory and employs Autoethnography as the vehicle to examine my experiences of a Black woman student transitioning to married mamahood while in higher education. This study uses an interview protocol to guide the data collection process around transitional periods that are connected to artifacts such as undergraduate transcripts, photographs, reflection assignments. I use personal narratives to actively reflect on these transitional periods and address the research question: What was my experience as a Black woman student who transitioned to a Black married mama scholar while enrolled in higher education? The theoretical framework chosen centers the research around the Black married mama experience as a student to analyze states of resistance and liberatory struggles. These findings will influence the Black mama centered recommendations for higher education institutions across the world
Galianora sacha Maddison, new species
No full textGalianora sacha Maddison, new species Figs. 9–16 Type material. Holotype female in UBCSEM from Jatun Sacha, Ecuador with label: " ECUADOR: NAPO: Estación Biológica Jatun Sacha. S 1.067 W 77.617; 400 m el. Forest and nearby disturbed areas. 21–24 July 2004 Maddison, Agnarsson, Iturralde, Salazar. WPM#04–055"; "UBCSEM AR00002" Paratypes: Two additional females, a male, and two juveniles, same data as the holotype (UBCSEM). A female was chosen as holotype because the carapace of the single male was crushed when the specimen was alive. Molecular data gathered for this species by Maddison & Needham (2006) were obtained from one of the juveniles (DNA voucher d 116). Etymology. The name is from the Quechua “ sacha ”, referring both to its habitat (“tree” or “forest”) and to the type locality. Diagnosis. Pale, elongate, longlegged and somewhat flattened (Fig. 11), superficially resembling Itata Peckham & Peckham (but not so narrow) or Helpis Simon. The first legs are elongate and appear raptorial. This species is distinguished from all other known neotropical salticids by the body form combined with the distinctive male palp having a small apophysis accompanying the embolus (Fig. 9, ma), a claw on the female palp (Fig. 16), and four pairs of ventral macrosetae on the first metatarsus. Description. Both females and male have the body and legs pale and yellowish, except for pigmented areas around the eyes, dark speckles on the abdomen, and some darker areas of the legs, especially the distal half of the first tibia. First legs large and wellspined in both male and female. Body and legs thinly but more or less completely covered by small, fine hairs. On the legs these hairs are mostly upright and black; on the body are they are largely orange or white and recumbent. These orange setae are densest covering the pigmented integument around eyes. None of the setae are flattened and widened to the extent of the "scales" of many salticids. The integument of the legs has a subtle bluepurple iridescence, at least under alcohol. Male paratype: Carapace length 2.3; abdomen length 2.7. Leg lengths 1> 4> 2 = 3. Macrosetae on tibia I D 01 1 P 1 01 V 2 2 2 R 1 01. First metatarsus with four pairs of ventral macrosetae, although the terminal pair might be considered lateral. Second leg anterior tarsal claw with ca. 14 teeth, posterior with 12. Chelicerae (Fig. 13): three promarginal teeth, the distalmost long and projecting forward slightly; two distinct retromarginal teeth. On the retrolateral corner of the basal segment, near the fang articulation, is a small apophysis (arrow in Fig. 13). Fang with swelling near base. Palpus (Figs. 9, 10): embolus long, wrapping two times around perpiphery of round tegulum. Embedded within a membrane accompanying the embolus is a sclerotized projection (Fig. 9, ma), which I interpret as the median apophysis. (This interpretation would suggest that what appears to be the basal portion of the embolus is actually an extension of the tegulum.) A sharp retrolateral tibial apophysis is accompanied by two lobes, one dorsal and one ventrolateral. Female holotype: Carapace length 2.3, width 1.6, height 1.2; abdomen length 3.2. Leg lengths 4> 1> 2 = 3. Macrosetae on tibia I D 01 1 P 1 01 V 2 2 2 R 1 01. First metatarsus with four pairs of ventral macrosetae, although the terminal pair might be considered lateral. Second leg anterior tarsal claw with approximately 12 teeth, posterior with approximately 11. Chelicerae: two retromarginal and two retromarginal teeth. Palpus: with tarsal claw (Fig. 16), curved and with teeth. Epigynum (Fig. 14, 15): a central shallow crater containing a dark longitudinal structure. The openings appear to be longitudinal slits within this dark structure. From the openings, ducts proceed anteriorly near the midline, then posteriorly to the back of the epigynum, then loop laterally and anteriorly to the fertilization ducts (arrows in Fig. 15). Natural history. All specimens were collected beating understory trees two to three metres tall and within one or two metres of a small stream (ca. 1 metre width) within lowland rainforest. One female was from a point on the stream within but near the edge of the forest. All other specimens were well inside the forest, where the canopy of the forest appeared somewhat more open than elsewhere but was not broken by the presence of the stream.Published as part of Maddison, Wayne P., 2006, New lapsiine jumping spiders from Ecuador (Araneae: Salticidae), pp. 17-28 in Zootaxa 1255 on pages 23-25, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17306
We'll Always have Geneva: The Existential Crisis of the US-led Multilateral Trading System and the EU Reactions
No full textThe chapter examines the EU’s reaction to the “existential crisis of the US-led multilateral trading system” brought about by the Trump administration. According to the author, the central takeaway is not the fact that the current US administration is considering measures potentially incompatible with the World Trade Organization (WTO), as many states have done that in the past, and pushing the envelope of legality has a long and distinguished pedigree. Instead, what is disturbing, is that WTO law compatibility seems to not be any longer part of the political calculus. In reaction to the US position, the EU has engaged in multiple efforts to strengthen its rules-based approach to international economic governance, seeking common ground and attempting to build bridges. The US measures concerning steel and aluminium, however, seem to call for a tougher response, but still based on international law rather than in contradiction with it. Indeed, by comparison the EU can be considered a poster child for the multilateral world order, its sometimes selective or even selfish treatment of international law notwithstanding
