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
Towards a better understanding of dormancy in sweet cherry floral buds using molecular and epigenetic approaches
No full textLe réchauffement climatique est déjà une réalité et une hausse des températures de 2 à 4°C est attendue d’ici 2050. Pour les espèces fruitières, un des impacts les plus notables dus au changement climatique a été observé pour la phénologie de la floraison et les dates de maturation des fruits. En effet, la phénologie de la floraison est sous la dépendance directe d’une sortie adéquate de dormance des bourgeons, largement contrôlée par la température. Au cours de mon projet de thèse, des approches physiologiques, moléculaires et transcriptomiques ont été combinées afin d’analyser finement la réponse à la température chez différentes variétés de cerisier ayant des dates de sortie de dormance et de floraison différentes. Les analyses du transcriptome par le biais de RNA-seq ont permis d’obtenir une liste de gènes marqueurs impliqués dans la progression de la dormance et pourront être utilisés comme outil pour l’aide à la décision afin d’estimer le statut de dormance des arbres.Ce qui est particulièrement important pour les producteurs qui ont besoin de connaitre un interval temps précis pour appliquer des produits de levée de dormance. Des quantifications de phytohormones ont révélé l’importance de l’acide abscissique et de ses catabolites dans l’induction et la maintenance de la dormance. En complément de l’étude transcriptomique,une approche épigénétique a été faite sur des bourgeons floraux de cerisier. Nous avons trouvé que la sortie de dormance était associée à certaines marques histones comme la méthylation et l’acétylation des histones. L’impact agronomique de ce projet sera d’apporter une meilleure connaissance des gènes et des mécanismes impliqués dans la dormance dans le but de créer de nouvelles variétés adaptées aux futures conditions climatiques en France et dans plusieurs régions du monde.Plants are sessile organisms and must adapt their physiology to seasonal changes tosubsist over time. Their ability to perceive and respond to changes in temperature is a keydeterminant of their survival. For perennial plants, this is especially important becauseflowering occurs in the next season and reproductive structures can be exposed to hightemperature fluctuations, particularly low winter temperatures. One of the strategies tosurvive under low temperatures is a period of dormancy. In sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.),which is a perennial fruit tree belonging to the Rosaceae family, dormancy is mainly inducedby low temperatures. However, the mean surface temperature of the earth is increasing andthis climatic change may have serious negative consequences on dormancy release,potentially resulting in lower cherry production. Despite the effect of temperature ondormancy and bud break, the molecular events regulating these processes are still poorlyunderstood. We performed transcriptomic analysis on flower buds of different cherry cultivarsdisplaying contrasting flowering times to identify genes involved in dormancy regulation. Atime-course spanning the entire bud development until flowering was performed to explorespecific biological processes. A list of marker genes associated with dormancy progressionwas identified and can be used as a decision-making tool to estimate the dormancy status ofbuds. This is particularly relevant for growers who need to know the optimal timing to applydormancy release products. Phytohormone quantifications have revealed that abscisic acidand its catabolites play an important role in the induction and maintenance of dormancy. Inaddition, we investigated potential epigenetic mechanisms regulating dormancy using ChIPseqand epigenetic drugs. We found that histone deacetylation is involved in bud break aswell as repressive and active histone marks such as H3K27me3 and H3K4me3, respectively.These results provide a source of information to create predictive models, which will bepowerful tools to assist breeding strategies

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
