Mémoire et appropriation : essai sur la mémoire théâtrale au Québec

S'il est un thème omniprésent (je dirais volontiers obsessionnel) dans l'histoire théâtrale du Québec, c'est bien celui de l'appropriation et, plus globalement, de la propriété. Cette obsession n'est en fait qu'une quête vitale, la quête de l'identité. Dans l'histoire de notre théâtre, quête de l'identité et appropriation vont nécessairement de pair, car le théâtre d'ici fut d'abord un théâtre d'ailleurs: de Paris, de Londres, de Broadway. [...]

Voice, appropriation and discourse representation in a student writing task

We investigate the practices by which bilingual university students in Hong Kong appropriate texts in producing utterances, particularly written texts. Following Wertsch and his colleagues we ask: • To what extent do our students appropriate texts in constructing their own discourses? • What linguistic means do they use to do this? • What can these processes tell us about what they now can do with discourse representation; and • What do we need to teach them? This research shows that our students' writing displays considerable intertextuality and interdiscursivity. Responses to this writing in tutorial sessions indicate that they are skilled at orchestrating the multiple voices within their own discourses. The commonly stated concern that our students do not know how to do quotation and citation correctly is somewhat misplaced and researchers need to move the focus away from the mechanisms of citation and attribution to the social practices of textual appropriation.

Relational value creation and appropriation in buyer supplier relationships

his paper bridges the gap between the buyer-supplier literature and the definition of competitive advantage as value creation found in the strategic management literature. This study proposes and tests an integrative definition of the relational value that is created and appropriated in a dyad

The Digital Divide in the University: The Appropriation of ICT in Higher Education Students from Bogota, Colombia

The growth and integration of ICTs in the global economy have created conditions that profoundly affect our society, dividing communities between those who effectively appropriate these resources and those who do not, what is called the digital divide. This exploratory study seeks to propose and validate ways of assessing this phenomenon in higher education, from the construction of a model and a comprehensive methodology that value contextual conditions, in addition to measuring access factors and motivation for use, that have been employed in previous research. To obtain indications about the behavior of this phenomenon, we developed research with students from three universities in Bogota, administering 566 surveys in four phases that would test the variables proposed in the model. The results show that the variables of the model link causally, with the strongest relations between education, attitude towards ICTs and ICT application. Although students have good access to ICTs and high levels of education, no strong relationship was found in regards to perceived impact on production. This may be explained by a superficial appropriation of ICT, due to a context that is alien to its conditions of origin (industrialism, innovation), poor quality of education and economies not centered around R&D.

Representations as tools of appropriation, creating meaning through activities.

Based on some constructs of the Activity Theory (Leontiev, 1978), we point to the need to develop activities that reveal the meaning of representations. We examine use of representations in teaching and propose some suggestions. Shaaron Ainsworth (1999) asserted that, in order to learn from engaging with multiple representations of scientific concepts, students need to be able to (a) understand the codes and signifiers in a representation, (b) understand the links between the representation and the target concept or process, (c) translate key features of the concept across representations and (d) know which features to emphasize in designing their own representations.

Kopie der Kopie

In der Unterkirche San Rocco in Sansepolcro erhebt sich eine Kleinarchitektur, die laut Inschrift als Kopie des Jerusalemer Christusgrabes ausgewiesen ist. Statt sich an die architektonische Gestalt des nahöstlichen Originals anzulehnen orientiert sie sich jedoch an einer älteren Heiliggrabkopie, dem Heiliggrabtempietto von Leon Battista Alberti in San Pancrazio, Florenz. Der Aufsatz untersucht, auf welche Weise die „doppelte Kopie“ ihr Vorbild interpretiert und stellt Überlegungen zu Motivation, Bedeutung und Autorschaft der Heiliggrabkopie von Sansepolcro an.

Development of a Mathematical Model for the Calculation of the Tool Appropriation Delay depending on the Tool Inventory

Compliance with punctual delivery under the high pressure of costs can be implemented through the optimization of the in-house tool supply. Within the Transfer Project 13 of the Collaborative Research Centre 489 using the example of the forging industry, a mathematical model was developed which determines the minimum inventory of forging tools required for production, considering the tool appropriation delay.
