La Corte madrilea de los Austrias, al igual que el resto de las monarquas europeas del siglo XVII, gener una variada gama de fiestas pblicas y privadas, como por ejemplo teatro musical, mascaradas y procesiones callejeras en las que desfilaban carros alegricos con danzantes y msicos. Estos espectculos no eran un mero entretenimiento sino que estaban destinados a resaltar las virtudes del monarca y a hacer conscientes a los espectadores del lugar que les caba ocupar en esa sociedad recurriendo para ello a un complejo discurso simblico. Las Cortes virreinales de Amrica trasladaron a sus territorios estas prcticas que valan, fundamentalmente, para hacer presente la figura del rey y mantener viva la lealtad a la corona. Analizamos dos ejemplos de fiesta, una mascarada celebrada en Pausa (Per) y un intermedio dramticomusical en Sucre, que nos revelan la forma de pensamiento, las conductas y la organizacin de la sociedad cortesana virreinal.

Esta dissertao versa sobre o carnaval das escolas de samba, em seu perodo de formao, na dcada de 1930. Apresentando a Vizinha Faladeira procura-se identificar suas transgresses no contexto da institucionalizao do chamado tradicional carnaval das escolas de samba da cidade. Busca-se compreender os motivos que levaram a Vizinha Faladeira a afastar-se das disputas carnavalescas e terminar suas atividades como escola de samba identificando assim as diversas tenses que circundavam o carnaval das escolas de samba. Verificando os desfiles da Vizinha Faladeira identificam-se formas estticas diversas que revelam os dilogos tensionados entre os diversos grupos da sociedade e o desejo de fazer um carnaval cada vez mais popular. Este trabalho busca lanar um novo olhar sobre a festa carnavalesca entendendo a cultura popular como o local de disputas de significados simblicos, rompendo-se com as vises folclricas e antropolgicas, privilegiando as disputas entre os grupos e as representaes nas formas artsticas das escolas de samba

A presente dissertao prope a abordagem do contemporneo modelo de desfiles das escolas de samba (entendido dos anos 1970 em diante) como atualizao da Gesamtkunstwerk (obra de arte total ou obra de arte comum), conceito desenvolvido por Richard Wagner, no sculo XIX. A proposio de aproximar a presente forma do carnaval das escolas de samba dos princpios estruturais da pera wagneriana estimulada pela j prosaica apreenso desses desfiles carnavalescos como pera popular de rua e pela forma dos desfiles remeter-nos ideia de obra de arte completa, por reunir mltiplas linguagens artsticas (o que evoca, em particular, a obra de arte total wagneriana). A intensificao de conceitos (como o de Wagner), noes, tcnicas e profissionais das mais variadas reas artsticas e tecnolgicas na Avenida aproximam a manifestao carnavalesca abordada de prticas da arte contempornea. Mas tambm revela uma apropriao particular desses elementos pelas escolas de samba. Por isso, encarar os desfiles das escolas de samba como obra de arte total contempornea ajuda a perceber de modo mais profundo a estrutura especfica de tal modalidade carnavalesca

The Parades Commission of Northern Ireland was established to regulate the use of public space in the region. Its formal design includes both a role in mediating between groups over how spaces are used and an adjudicative role when agreement between competing groups cannot be reached. We argue that the Parades Commission has only been effective to the degree that its character as a bureaucracy has quelled violence surrounding parades. The Commission's goal of conciliation cannot be attained without a more consistent, transparent and inclusive approach to applying law.

In this article, we discuss our experiences of using photography and video while observing contentious parades and protests in Belfast. We show how our use of these methods drew us into a series of unplanned for non-verbal interactions with other event participants who were also freely and abundantly using photographic and filming equipment to capture their own images. This interactive use of photography and video affected us emotionally and influenced what we noticed and what we omitted in our observations. In particular, it forced us to reflect upon and question our role as researchers in the events we observed and in the changing balance of power between researchers and researched. <br/>

The historic significance of the Good Friday Agreement and its role in ending organized political violence is acknowledged at the outset. The article then goes on to probe the roots of the political paralysis built into the architecture of the Agreement that are predicated on a misplaced political and cultural symmetry between the two communities. It is suggested that the institutionalized relationship between Northern Ireland and the rest of the U.K. facilitates a cross-party, populist, socio-economic consensus among the nationalist and unionist political parties on the welfare state, taxation and maintaining the massive British subvention to the region. This in turn allows them to concentrate on a divisive culturalist politics, i.e., on antagonistic forms of cultural and identity politics over such issues as flags, parades, and the legacy of the Troubles which spills over into gridlock into many areas of regional administration. The article argues for a much broader understanding of culture and identity rooted in the different, if overlapping and interdependent, material realities of both communities while challenging the idea of two cultures/identities as fixed, mutually exclusive, non-negotiable and mutually antagonistic. It then focuses on the importance of Belfast as a key arena which will determine the long-term prospects of an alternative and more constructive form of politics, and enable a fuller recognition of the fundamental asymmetries and inter-dependence between the two communities. In the long run, this involves re-defining and reconstructing what is meant by the Union and a United Ireland.

<p>The purpose of this article is to explore and illuminate teenagers' experiences of, and attitudes to, parades in Belfast. The research draws on responses from 125 teenagers located in interface areas (areas where Catholics and Protestants live side by side but apart) to government supported attempts to rebrand Orangefest (traditional parade associated with Protestant/Unionist/Loyalist community) and St Patrick's Day (traditional parade associated with Catholic/Nationalist/Republican community) as all-inclusive community events. For the most part, young people access these parades in pre-existing, single identity peer groups and view these parades as either inclusive or exclusive calling into question the extent to which Belfast's city centre can be viewed as shared space.</p>

The 2014 Research Excellence Framework sought for the first time to assess the impact that research was having beyond the boundaries of the university and the wider academic sphere. While the REF continued the approach of previous research assessment exercises in attempting to measure the overall quality of research and teaching within the higher-education sector, it also expected institutions to evidence how some of their research had had an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life, beyond academia (REF 2012: 48). This article provides a case study in how researchers in one U.K. anthropology department were able to demonstrate the impact of their work in the public sphere successfully as part of this major audit exercise.

On June 27th 2012, the Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland and former IRA commander, Martin McGuinness shook hands with Queen Elizabeth II for the first time at an event in Belfast. For many the gesture symbolised the consolidation of Northern Ireland's transition to peace, the meeting of cultures and traditions, and hope for the future. Only a few weeks later however violence spilled onto the streets of north and west Belfast following a series of commemorative parades, marking a summer of hostilities. Those hostilities spread into a winter of protest, riot and discontent around flags and emblems and a year of tensions and commemorative-related violence marked again by a summer of rioting and protest in 2013. Outwardly these examples present two very different pictures of the 'new' Northern Ireland; the former of a society moving forward and putting the past behind it and the latter apparently divided over and wedded to different constructions of the past. Furthermore they revealed two very different 'places', the public handshake in the arena of public space; the rioting and fighting occurring in spaces distanced from the public sphere. This paper has also illustrated the difficulties around the public management of conflict and transition as many within public agencies struggle with duties to uphold good relations and promote good governance within an environment of political strife, hostility and continuing violence.<br/><br/>This paper presents the key findings and implications of an exploratory project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, explored the phenomenon of commemorative-related violence in Northern Ireland. We focus on 1) why the performance or celebration of the past can sometimes lead to violence in specific places; 2) map and analyse the levels of commemorative related violence in the past 15 years and 3) look at the public management implications of both conflict and transition at a strategic level within the public sector. <br/><br/>

Social media channels, such as Facebook or Twitter, allow for people to express their views and opinions about any public topics. Public sentiment related to future events, such as demonstrations or parades, indicate public attitude and therefore may be applied while trying to estimate the level of disruption and disorder during such events. Consequently, sentiment analysis of social media content may be of interest for different organisations, especially in security and law enforcement sectors. This paper presents a new lexicon-based sentiment analysis algorithm that has been designed with the main focus on real time Twitter content analysis. The algorithm consists of two key components, namely sentiment normalisation and evidence-based combination function, which have been used in order to estimate the intensity of the sentiment rather than positive/negative label and to support the mixed sentiment classification process. Finally, we illustrate a case study examining the relation between negative sentiment of twitter posts related to English Defence League and the level of disorder during the organisations related events.

Analysing public sentiment about future events, such as demonstration or parades, may provide valuable information while estimating the level of disruption and disorder during these events. Social media, such as Twitter or Facebook, provides views and opinions of users related to any public topics. Consequently, sentiment analysis of social media content may be of interest to different public sector organisations, especially in the security and law enforcement sector. In this paper we present a lexicon-based approach to sentiment analysis of Twitter content. The algorithm performs normalisation of the sentiment in an effort to provide intensity of the sentiment rather than positive/negative label. Following this, we evaluate an evidence-based combining function that supports the classification process in cases when positive and negative words co-occur in a tweet. Finally, we illustrate a case study examining the relation between sentiment of twitter posts related to English Defence League and the level of disorder during the EDL related events.

Dans les pays africains en gnral et au Niger en particulier, lordinateur commence trouver sa place au sein de lcole. Ce processus dintgration pdagogique des technologies de linformation et de la communication est fortement dpendant des paramtres technologiques, pdagogiques et humains. Russir ce processus, cest connaitre les jugements et les attitudes des acteurs de cette cole vis--vis de ces technologies. partir des reprsentations sociales, nous pouvons connatre la manire de penser, de s'approprier, d'interprter la ralit quotidienne dun groupe dindividus vis--vis dun objet, en loccurrence ici, les TIC. Le premier objectif de notre recherche est de connaitre les reprsentations sociales que les enseignants du secondaire ont de lordinateur. Pour cela, nous avons men une investigation auprs de vingt enseignants. lissue des entrevues, nous avons identifi des reprsentations sociales sur les attitudes des enseignants lgard de lordinateur, sur les risques de lordinateur lcole et enfin sur les avantages de lordinateur lcole. Lensemble de ces reprsentations sociales met en vidence une attitude positive des enseignants vis--vis de lordinateur lcole mme si pour certains enseignants, lordinateur est un outil qui favorise la dmotivation des lves et qui est vu comme un concurrent potentiel. Notre second objectif est de connatre les reprsentations sociales des TIC chez des lves. Cinquante lves provenant de deux coles ont constitu la population de notre tude. Aprs avoir soumis les entretiens recueillis une analyse de contenu, nous sommes parvenu des rsultats qui mettent en vidence des reprsentations sociales sur les connaissances des TIC et sur son utilisation dans le cadre de lapprentissage. Notre recherche devait aussi dterminer si les reprsentations sociales taient fonction de la formation aux TIC. Les rsultats du test dhypothse du Khi-carr montrent que la formation aux TIC ninfluence pas lmergence des reprsentations sociales. Le troisime objectif de notre recherche porte sur la construction dune chelle de mesure des reprsentations sociales des TIC chez des lves. Aprs avoir t labore lchelle de mesure a t administre 265 lves de deux lyces. Les rsultats de lanalyse factorielle exploratoire montrent que lchelle a une assez bonne cohrence interne. Lensemble des rsultats garantit la validit et la fidlit de lchelle. Lensemble des rsultats montre que, bien que son utilisation soit trs rcente dans les coles nigriennes, des reprsentations sociales ont t engendres lendroit des TIC. Les contenus de ces reprsentations montrent des attitudes favorables aux TIC dans lapprentissage.

Mme si la coopration policire transnationale est lobjet ces dernires annes dun engouement souvent attribu des vertus defficacit, il reste que relativement peu dinformations sont disponibles sur le processus en lui-mme. Lobjectif gnral de la thse tait de fournir une analyse englobant la fois les proccupations des autorits politiques et celles des acteurs judiciaires et policiers. Ces acteurs occupent tous des rles ncessaires dans le systme de la coopration policire transnationale, mais outre cette constatation, les tudes leur sujet ne se recoupent pas vritablement. Cest donc dire que, dune part, les tudes sur les acteurs politiques se concentrent sur les dcisions prises par ceux-ci, sur llaboration de concepts et sur la signature de conventions. Dautre part, les tudes sur les acteurs policiers et judiciaires mettent laccent sur le droulement quotidien des activits policires transnationales et sur ce qui sensuit, cest--dire les procdures judiciaires. laide de concepts tels que la discrtion et la souplesse, la familiarit, la confiance, la mfiance, le scepticisme et lvitement, nous tentons de rallier les rcents concepts de reconnaissance mutuelle et de confiance mutuelle avec ce qui se passe effectivement dans le monde oprationnel. La thse, qui sintresse principalement la coopration policire transnationale en matire de trafic de drogues, sappuie sur deux types de donnes. Tout dabord, des entrevues qualitatives semi-diriges ont t menes auprs de 21 policiers et procureurs. Ensuite, une analyse documentaire a t effectue sur des documents canadiens, soit les sept jurisprudences sur lextranit et un guide rdig par un procureur lintention des enquteurs uvrant dans les enqutes. Nous allons prsenter rapidement les rsultats les plus importants de la thse. Dans le premier chapitre, il a t question de deux niveaux de structures de pouvoir, qui nvoluent pas en vases clos, mais qui sinfluencent mutuellement. Cest dire que le levier dinfluence des acteurs tatiques sur les acteurs du policing transnational peut tre relativement puissant, mais que des parades peuvent toujours tre utilises par les policiers dans des cas spcifiques. Nadelmann (1993) avait raison lorsquil a soutenu quune norme adopte au niveau transnational nest pas ncessairement utile la ralisation des objectifs communs des tats, cest--dire limmobilisation des criminels. La norme est le produit dune ngociation politique et dun jeu de pouvoir. Au final, elle ninflue pas normment sur les dcisions prises par les policiers dans les enqutes composantes transnationales. Au mieux, elle est un guide de rgles ne pas violer ouvertement et impunment. De plus, alors que les pays et les organisations utilisent un systme de rcompense, dincitatifs ou de menace de sanctions pour favoriser la coopration policire transnationale en vu dune participation une enqute composantes transnationales, les individus qui travaillent dans les enqutes composantes transnationales utilisent la familiarit et valorisent la confiance comme moyen pour tablir et maintenir des liens. Ces individus ne peuvent pas sobliger entre eux, alors quil existe la possibilit dimposer des sanctions relles entre acteurs tatiques. Il sagit donc de deux niveaux danalyse, dans lesquelles la configuration des relations est diffrente. Dans le deuxime chapitre danalyse, nous avons examin les jurisprudences canadiennes et le guide dun procureur lintention des policiers, ce qui nous a amen constater la discrtion laisse par les agents judiciaires aux policiers travaillant au sein denqutes composantes transnationales. En fait, nous avons trouv que les agents judiciaires sont conscients des difficults des enqutes composantes transnationales et quils sont plus flexibles dans ces cas que dans les enqutes nationales. Le troisime chapitre danalyse a montr que de nombreux moyens sont la disposition des agents de lenqute, et quune certaine logique sous-tendait les choix des policiers. Plus particulirement, cest la gestion des incertitudes, la nature de linformation et son utilisation envisage qui importe pour les agents de lenqute composantes transnationale. Finalement, le dernier chapitre danalyse illustre les diffrents types de relations entretenues entre agents de lenqute. Nous avons trouv que le scepticisme est prpondrant mais que la coopration demeure le plus souvent possible, lorsque les acteurs ont des intrts en commun. Une certaine familiarit entre les acteurs est ncessaire, mais la confiance nest pas toujours essentielle la mise en uvre des activits policires transnationales. En fait, cela dpend du niveau dchanges ncessaires et du contexte. Gambetta (1988) avait dailleurs montr quune structure sociale relativement stable puisse se maintenir dans un contexte gnralis de mfiance.

La prsente tude porte sur les effets de la familiarit dans lidentification dindividus en situation de parade vocale. La parade vocale est une technique inspire dune procdure paralgale didentification visuelle dindividus. Elle consiste en la prsentation de plusieurs voix avec des aspects acoustiques similaires dfinis selon des critres reconnus dans la littrature. Lobjectif principal de la prsente tude tait de dterminer si la familiarit dune voix dans une parade vocale peut donner un haut taux didentification correcte (> 99 %) de locuteurs. Cette tude est la premire quantifier le critre de familiarit entre lidentificateur et une personne associe une voix-cible selon quatre paramtres lis aux contacts (communications) entre les individus, soit la rcence du contact ( quand remonte la dernire rencontre avec lindividu), la dure et la frquence moyenne du contact et la priode pendant laquelle avaient lieu les contacts. Trois diffrentes parades vocales ont t labores, chacune contenant 10 voix dhommes incluant une voix-cible pouvant tre trs familire; ce degr de familiarit a t tabli selon un questionnaire. Les participants (identificateurs, n = 44) ont t slectionns selon leur niveau de familiarit avec la voix-cible. Toutes les voix taient celles de locuteurs natifs du franco-qubcois et toutes avaient des frquences fondamentales moyennes similaires la voix-cible ( un semi-ton prs). Aussi, chaque parade vocale contenait des noncs variant en longueur selon un nombre donn de syllabes (1, 4, 10, 18 syll.). Les rsultats dmontrent quen contrlant le degr de familiarit et avec un nonc de 4 syllabes ou plus, on obtient un taux didentification avec une probabilit exacte derreur de p < 1 x 10-12. Ces taux didentification dpassent ceux obtenus actuellement avec des systmes automatiss.
