El color del camaleón: un testimonio valiente para la sociedad chilena
2017
The film El color del camaleón (2017) by Andrés Lübbert, which has great cinematic and content merits, can be considered as an important part of Chilean films on memory and post-memory. I focus on its contribution to Chilean memory and the reconstruction of the truth through the unveiling, in particular, of cruel methods of forced recruitment used by the dictatorship’s secret services. They were used as a further tool to instill terror in society, and as a way of submission and control of the population.
Global trends in higher education: an unexpected convergence between France and India
2013
International audience; We propose to examine an unexpected convergence between the higher education systems of two heterogeneous countries, namely France and India. After a brief comparative survey, we address the issue of the commodification of higher education in order to determine whether the latter evolution has been acknowledged, encouraged or opposed by governments. The modern setting in which higher education institutions operate is partly determined by GATS rules that govern international trade in higher education services, notably through the enhancement of new modes of delivery such as e-learning and distance education. We then extend our reflection to bridge the gap between Fran…
Student Learning in Public and Private Primary Schools in Madagascar
2003
03058; International audience; This article examines the progress of primary education in Madagascar. The challenge facing policy makers is enormous: how to maintain (or indeed, improve) learning across schools within Madagascar based on the data from the Conference des Ministries de l'Education des Pays Ayant le Francais en Partage in five African countries where common tests were administered to second- and fifth-graders. Beyond documenting the aggregate differences across sectors, the extent to which differences across schools, particularly between those in the public and private sectors, are associated with pupils' socioeconomic background, difference sin school inputs, and gaps across …
La qualité de l'éducation de base en Afrique francophone : contexte, constat et facteurs d'efficacité
2003
03050 - Coll. "Cahiers de l'Académie des Sciences morales et politiques"; L'auteur s'interroge sur l'aspect qualitatif de l'école primaire africaine francophone. Trois questions principales sont abordées : i) dans quel contexte général faut-il apprécier la qualité des systèmes ? ii) quels résultats sur la qualité des apprentissages des élèves ? et iii) sur quels facteurs peut-on agir pour améliorer la qualité de l'école ? C'est ce dernier point qui sert de conclusion.
"Kattokaa nyt missa? se kieli on" : English and French teachers' views on pronunciation and its teaching
2015
Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli selvittää, mitä mieltä suomalaiset englannin ja ranskan opettajat ovat ääntämisen roolista kieltenopetuksessa, ja millaisin keinoin he tukevat oppilaidensa ääntämisen oppimista. Alan kansainvälisessä tutkimuksessa olettamus on usein, että opettajat opettavat omaa äidinkieltään, joten halusin tällä tutkimuksella myös selvittää, miten suomalaiset kieltenopettajat kokevat oman roolinsa opettamiensa kielten ei-syntyperäisinä puhujina. Tutkielma on luonteeltaan laadullinen, ja sen aineisto kerättiin haastattelemalla viittä opettajaa, joista jokainen opettaa tai on opettanut sekä englantia että ranskaa, joko peruskoulu- tai lukiotasolla. Haa…
Una nota a la correspondencia de Valera: la fuente griega de una estrofa alemana citada por don Juan
1984
El 16 de enero de 1893, don Juan Valera, que acababa de sufrir un desaire urdido contra él por altos dignatarios de la diplomacia vaticana', era nombrado embajador en Viena. El 27 de febrero tomaba posesión, y el 21 de marzo presentaba sus credenciales ante S. M. Imperial. Unos meses después, el 29 de julio, escribe al dramaturgo Tamayo y Baus, refiriéndole, con todo lujo de detalles, los pormenores de la vida vienesa en sus vertientes frivola y social.
The Discursive Constitution of a World-Spanning Region and the Role of Empty Signifiers: The Case of Francophonia
2007
The cultural turn in political science, history, and political geography has opened new perspectives on the division of the world into geographic entities. Nation-states, regions, districts, etc., are no longer qualified as quasi-natural objects based upon intrinsic qualities but, rather, as contingent results of social or accordingly discursive processes. The Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) defines Francophonia as an “geocultural space” (espace geoculturel) and an international community of more than 50 states. In this contribution, the concept of political communities as “imagined communities” and the advancements of discourse theory by Laclau and Mouffe are used in o…
New shape from Shading methods
1993
Shape from Shading is perhaps the most difficult topic to deal with in Artificial Vision: several researchers have faced it using different approaches. The most part of these methods are based on the Horn algorithm so they require very heavy regularity assumptions about the perceived objects' shape and are computationally expensive.
The Emergence of Pastoral Authority in the French Reformed Church (c.1555-c.1572)
2021
In The Emergence of Pastoral Authority in the French Reformed Church, c.1555-c.1572, Gianmarco Braghi offre un'ampia panoramica delle questioni e delle ambiguità connesse all'attuazione dell'autorità della prima generazione di pastori riformati francesi formati a Ginevra e delle loro implicazioni per il carattere e l'identità del primo movimento riformato francese in generale, utilizzandoli come prisma per l'analisi storica della transizione dall'evangelicalismo sciolto a una nascente rete sinodale-concistoriale di congregazioni riformate sparse nel regno di Francia. In The Emergence of Pastoral Authority in the French Reformed Church, c.1555-c.1572, Gianmarco Braghi offers a broad overview…
Maître de langue, professeur de langue et enseignement de la musique du français (XIXe siècle)
2005
Toute langue est si liée à sa musique qu’il faut logiquement envisager la recherche du maître de musique de langue et l’évolution vers le professorat. Le bon maître de langue devait être un artiste de qualité : les approches musicales plus ou moins feutrées fusent au XVIIIe et perdurent au XIXe. Les domaines de la Langue et de la Musique se croisent, se rejoignent. Des portraits de maîtres et maîtresses de musique du français s’esquissent. Cependant, l’exclusion de ce courant artistico-musical du processus d’institutionnalisation, l’application d’une phonétique plus instrumentale que musicale, affective et humaine ont déterminé le sort de l’enseignement des musiques de langue, fondé sur la …
