Le cinéma des premiers temps à Montréal et l'institution du théâtre

Cet article propose un tableau précis des liens étroits qui unirent le cinéma des premiers temps à l’institution théâtrale montréalaise existante. À cette époque, le cinéma joue un rôle central dans les stratégies d’émergence du théâtre francophone qui s’éloigne alors du théâtre anglophone, son rival issu de la ville de New York, tout autant qu’il joue un rôle d’attrait dans un contexte de vive concurrence. Non seulement cela donne-t-il lieu à des scènes mixtes (théâtrales et cinématographiques), mais également à une interprétation plus profonde de deux arts qui aboutit aux premières manifestations d’un cinéma-théâtre québécois.

Continuation and discontinuation of local institution in community based natural resource management

Currently the push toward frontier areas, which until twenty years ago were still largely untouched by commercial agriculture, is taking place on a massive scale. This push is being driven not the least by global economic developments, such as the price increase of agriculture commodities like coffee and cocoa. In most cases the indigenous communities become trapped between the state monopoly in natural resource management and the competition for resources by external actors. In this processes the indigenous communities start to lose their access to resources. Another victim in this process is the environment where the natural resources are imbedded. International and national organizations working to conserve environment have became conscious of the important role that indigenous people could fulfill as partners in this endeavour. This partnership in struggle has produced a new discourse on the relationship between indigenous people and their environment. As a further consequence, programs were set up to develop what became known as Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) with its numerous variations. Based on a case study in a village on the eastern border of the Lore Lindu National Park in Central Sulawesi, this study questioned the basic assumption behind the concept of Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM). Namely the assumption that communities living at the margin of forest are socially and culturally homogenous, still more or less egalitarian, and basically living in harmony with their natural environment. This study was inspired by the persistent critique – although still a minority – on the basic assumption the CBNRM from academicians and practitioners working through the Entitlement perspective. Another inspiration was the mounting critique toward the participatory approach. In its effort the study explore further the usefulness of certain approaches. One of the approach much relied on in this study was the local history of the community studied, through exerting oral and local written documents on local history, legends and local stories. These sources proofed quite capable in bringing the local history into the light. Another was the actor oriented approach, which later came to be supported by the concept of Social Pool Resources. The latter concept proofed to be useful as analytical instrument to integrate social institutions and the common pool resources, as a field of action for the different actors as human agencies.

On Nonlinear Preconditioners in Newton-Krylov-Methods for Unsteady Flows

The application of nonlinear schemes like dual time stepping as preconditioners in matrix-free Newton-Krylov-solvers is considered and analyzed. We provide a novel formulation of the left preconditioned operator that says it is in fact linear in the matrix-free sense, but changes the Newton scheme. This allows to get some insight in the convergence properties of these schemes which are demonstrated through numerical results.

Le Chercheur dans l'institution scolaire: l'analyse de l'enseignement des nanobiotechnologies dans une classe de terminale scientifique

Nous présentons dans cette communication une expérimentation innovante basée sur l'enseignement des nanotechnologies. Débutée en 2006, elle s’inscrit sur une durée de 3 ans. Les élèves participant à ce projet pourront observer et mener des expériences à l’échelle moléculaire, comprendre les propriétés nouvelles de la matière liées à cette dimension de réduction dans le but d’application spécifiques, impliquant les outils mathématiques, physiques et chimie ainsi que la biologie. L’interdisciplinarité est un des fondements de ce projet qui a mobilisé la collaboration d'enseignants de diverses disciplines

Análisis de la incidencia de la Teoría de la Identidad Colectiva en la posición de la Liga Árabe frente al reconocimiento de Somalilandia como Estado independiente

Esta Monografía se centra en mostrar cómo el intento por conservar la identidad colectiva de la Liga de los Estados Árabes impide ceder ante el deseo de Somalilandia de ser reconocida como Estado independiente.

Does the unemployment benefit institution affect the productivity of workers? evidence from a field experiment

We investigate whether and how the type of unemployment benefit institution affects productivity. We designed a field experiment to compare workers’ productivity under a welfare system, where the unemployed receive an unconditional monetary transfer, with their productivity under a workfare system, where the transfer is received conditional on the unemployed spending some time on ancillary activities. First, we find that having an unemployment benefit institution, regardless of whether it makes transfers conditional or unconditional, increases workers’ productivity. Second, we find that productivity is higher under Welfare than under Workfare. Becoming unemployed under Welfare comes at the psychological cost of a drop in self-esteem, presumably due to the shame or stigma associated with receiving an unconditional unemployment benefit. We document the empirical relevance of precisely this channel. The differences we observe in productivity suggest that this psychological cost acts as an extra nonmonetary incentive for workers under Welfare to put a higher effort in their work.
