Abstract: Three authors offer a methodological bricolage to explore visual, textual, and poetic archives that shape our identities as women academics. We draw on aspects of autoethnography, reflexively engaged, to explore these archives as they lend insight into the construction of personal identity. Understanding both the archives and identity as inseparable from culture, we take up cultural analysis as historical method as we examine, through archival metaphor, the historical struggles of women in academia. We believe that scholarly writing within disciplinary contexts is one way women constitute identity for ourselves and, in so doing, find pathways to write our way into existence. Keywords: Women scholars; academic identity; autoethnography; arts-informed research. Résumé : Trois autrices proposent un bricolage méthodologique pour explorer des archives visuelles, textuelles et poétiques qui ont façonné nos identités en tant que femmes universitaires. Nous nous appuyons sur des aspects d’auto-ethnographie, dans un mode de réflexivité, pour étudier ces archives et la lumière qu’elles jettent sur la construction de l’identité personnelle. Considérant archives et identité indissociables de la culture, nous utilisons l’analyse culturelle comme méthode historique pour étudier, par l’entremise de la métaphore archivistique, les luttes historiques des femmes en milieu universitaire. Nous croyons que les écrits érudits dans un contexte disciplinaire sont un moyen pour les femmes de construire leur identité et, par le fait même, d’identifier des avenues pour trouver leur véritable place dans la vie. Mots-clés : femmes érudites, identité académique, autoethnographie, Recherche fondée sur les arts.

The Way

Although research and writing for publication are seen as important responsibilities for most graduate students and faculty, many struggle to understand the process and how to succeed. Unfortunately, writing centers at most universities do not cater to these kinds of needs but rather to course-specific needs of undergraduate students. This chapter presents and explains the principles underlying Florida International University's establishment of The Office of Academic Writing and Publication Support, an office specifically designed to aid the scholarly writing efforts of graduate students and faculty. In doing so, this chapter aims to describe strategies and programs for the improvement of scholarly writing, provide insight into the kind of learning that can take place in a university writing center, and reflect on successes and missteps along the way. This chapter may be especially helpful to educators who seek to create similar offices or services at their own institutions.

Insight Into

AbstractThe muhaddithat were women experts and teachers of the hadith and its literature, who were very prominent in their societies - especially of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The article highlights their role in this important field of higher education and argues that they should be given more credit for being interacting educators and not just transmitters. Reading closely the biographies of dozens of these women scholars, one discerns their professional status and efforts in disseminating a large corpus of the ad th sciences to male and female students. Significant details reveal their personal characteristics, the nature of their work, methods of teaching, and their social and cultural milieu. The biographies therefore offer an insight into the 'mixed' environment of this field, where male and female scholars interacted and where the muhaddithat taught and supervised large numbers of male students. This history also reveals the active involvement of these women in public work, albeit in the informal sector.

RÉSUMÉ. La situation des écrivains francophones est plus complexe, et relève d'autres différences que le seul décentrement géographique : ils se situent en effet à la croisée des langues. Ainsi, pour analyser les littératures francophones, on ne peut procéder que par aire culturelle et même pays par pays, car la littérature est le fait d’individus marqués par leur environnement immédiat (Brahimi, 2001, p.3). La recherche est alors visée à deux romans de deux écrivains francophones très réputés et couronnés de Goncourt, Patrick Chamoiseau de la Martinique, et Tahar Ben Jelloun du Maghreb. Solibo Magnifique et Moha le Fou Moha le Sage ont été analysés sur le plan des codes littéraires et culturels. Pour cette étude, nous utilisons également les méthodes de la littérature comparée afin d’arriver à une conclusion des parallélismes et contrastes existant dans ces oeuvres francophones. Afin de rendre la recherche plus systématisée, nous allons encadrer les problématiques sous forme de deux questions suivantes : quelles sont les caractéristiques des romans francophones : Solibo Magnifique et Moha le fou Moha le sage, à travers l’analyse des codes littéraires et culturels, et quels parallélismes et contrastes existent-ils entre ces deux romans. Mots-Clés : littératures, francophones, parallelismes, contraste.ABSTRACT. The situation of French-speaking writers is more complex, and refers to differences other than geographical decentralization: they are at the crossroads of languages. Thus, to analyze Francophone literature, one can proceed only by cultural area and even country by country, because the literature is the act of individuals marked by their immediate environment (Brahimi, 2001: 3). The research is therefore aimed at two novels of two well-known and crowned Francophone writers of Goncourt, Patrick Chamoiseau of Martinique, and Tahar Ben Jelloun of Maghreb. Solibo Magnificent and Moha the Fool Moha the Wise were analyzed in terms of literary and cultural codes. For this study, we also use the methods of comparative literature in order to arrive at a conclusion of the parallels and contrasts existing in the francophone literatures. In order to make the research more systematic, we will frame the problems in the form of two questions: what are the characteristics of French-language novels: Solibo Magnifique and Moha the crazy Moha the wise, through the analysis of literary and cultural codes, and what parallels and contrasts exist between these two novels?Keywords: literature, francophones, parallelisms, contrasts.

Objet: Les enseignants de l’enseignement supérieur exercent leur profession dans un cadre éthique qui leur est imposé comme valeur dans l’exercice des missions d’enseignement, de recherche et d’appui au développement. Ces différentes missions contiennent des prescriptions qui encadrent la profession. Cependant, l’éthique du corps enseignant ne fait véritablement pas l’objet de politiques publiques. Le corps enseignant est complexe par sa structuration et par les diverses trajectoires d’ascension professionnelle. Ces déterminants sont sources de luttes de classe et de lutte idéologique qui affectent l’éthique des enseignants. Les enseignants-chercheurs entretiennent des relations horizontales et verticales qui sont conflictuelles et remettent en cause l’éthique. Les différentes luttes au sein du corps enseignant sont des luttes transactionnelles qui amenuisent l’éthique. Le corps des conférenciers est complexe de par sa structure et la diversité de ses parcours professionnels. Ces déterminants sont à l'origine des différentes luttes au sein des classes et des idéologies qui affectent l'éthique des conférenciers.

The Relationship

The purpose of the article is the formation of a base for fashion research in Ukrainian culturological science. Carrying out a culturological analysis of gender transformations in the evolution of fashion and fashion trends. The methodology of the research is due to the need of using specific culturological methods for the analysis – diachronic and synchronous methods, comparative-historical method, semiotic method. The scientific novelty of the article includes conducting a cultural analysis of the phenomenon of fashion and gender; conducting a semiotic analysis of the fashion industry; identifying the features of the functioning of fashion in the context of the symbolic space of culture. Conclusions. In postmodernism, fashion begins its transformation from a symbolic unit that provides information about certain means to the means of communication that help people realize their own human potential, encourage freedom of choice, self-identification, and self-expression, which is reflected in the gradual leveling of gender and other sociocultural clothes. Modern fashion is beginning to blur the boundaries between social status, gender and age. After all, the transformational processes taking place in society are directly related to the transformation of culture and changes in fashion, because fashion is one of the structural elements of culture.

Shed Light

The aim of this article is to analyze traditional somatic ideas of the Turkic-Mongolians of Inner Asia that they formed as a part of their “theories” on the origin of the world and man. Data and methods. An important part of the studies of man as a social and biological being is the investigation of the human body conceptualizations of the Turkic-Mongolian peoples. When explored, the ideas that traditional societies had on the human body and its constituent parts, such as organs, muscles, and blood may give an important clue to understanding traditional medicine methods, attitudes towards the body, and the body potentialities. In this respect, one cannot overestimate the relevance of the nomads’ folklore texts dealing with the origin of the world and man as a research source. A variety of such stories relating how man was made of clay, wood, metal, bone, and stone may shed light on the invention and development of new materials by man, as well as on the technologies they used for their processing. The study is based on a comparative historical method that helps to identify commonalities characteristic of the Turkic-Mongolian world in understanding the human body; as well as the method of cultural and historical reconstruction, which gives an insight into the logic of archaic views. Conclusions. In the somatic conceptualizations of the Turkic-Mongolians, the key and stable correspondences of the natural and the human are such series as bone – wood, flesh – clay/earth /stone form. The associations of the human body and its parts with metals manifest to a lesser degree. The processes of maturing and aging of the human body were conceptualized by traditional societies in terms of both natural and cultural phenomena, such as the life cycles of a tree and ceramics making of raw/soft clay hardened in the process of its firing.

Les relations entre l’Église orthodoxe et l’Église gréco-catholique en Roumanie - un aperçu de la période communiste et post-communiste. L’étude présente se concentre sur les relations entre l’Église orthodoxe et l’Église gréco-catholique en Roumanie, en particulier pendant le temps de communisme et après sa chute. Nous utilisons la méthode historique et abordons cette période du point de vue des tensions historiques, des moments d’aliénation mais aussi de ceux de rapprochement entre les deux Églises. L’étude décrit les principaux points de cette relation, les efforts de chaque Église pour préserver son identité en période de pression politique énorme, à une époque où l’État communiste tentait d’anéantir l’Église gréco-catholique et d’instrumentaliser l’Église orthodoxe selon la propagande et ses intérêts. On y analyse également il décrit brièvement la relative ouverture réciproque des deux Églises sœurs survenue après 1989, malgré les tensions existantes et l’interruption brutale de ce processus de rapprochement en 2008. L’apport de cette étude est la proposition de quelques étapes concrètes absolument nécessaires dans le processus de guérison de la mémoire, qui devrait impliquer les deux Églises.

The article analyzes the relevance of comparative research in the modern conditions of the global world. The forms of communication that are immanent for any culture, the development of another's experience of cultural being, intercultural interactions are determined. The significance of philosophy is deter- mined as one of the foundations contributing to the processes of forming dialogism as a cultural characteristic of ancient, and then Western culture. The culture-creating nature of the communicative, dialogical nature of Western culture is interpreted as an important basis for the emergence of a comparative historical method of studying cultural diversity. Attention is focused on the productive experience of cultural interaction that emerged in ancient Greece and developed by further followers in the Western world. The history of the development of the comparative tradition is traced through the delineation of the main factors, which, in their entirety, have become a favorable basis for the emergence of systemic research using the comparative method. Indicates the main trends of modern comparative searches and unsolved problems. The directions of the heuristic development of the future prospects of this method of cultural analysis are indicated. These include: a high level of dialogicity of ancient, and then Western culture; geographical discoveries of the New time; educational and cultural activities of representatives of the Enlightenment; the devel- opment of scientific knowledge in the direction of the penetration of ideas about the natural movement of social development from the natural sci- ences into the social sciences; the appeals and popularization of O. Conte of studying the "main laws" of social phenomena, including the com- parative historical method; authoritative recognition of history and linguistics as a science in the nineteenth century; the idea of progressive pro- gress of human culture; scientific activities of representatives of cultural schools of evolutionary anthropology, diffusionism, social anthropology.

Summary The goal of this research was to provide insight into and systematisation of data relevant for the emergence and development of gymnastics in the Principality, and later Kingdom of Serbia, based on a review of monographic and serially published sources. The basic hypothesis was founded on the expectation that a direct link would be established between gymnastics, as the pivot of the programme, as well as its forms of physical exercise, and the emergence and development of organised physical exercising system in the civilian gymnastic and Sokol associations. In this research the historical method was applied. The results presented in this paper showed that gymnastics was the first and the chief component of the military and school physical exercising programs, as well as the significant role of gymnastics in the development of civilian gymnastic, Army and Sokol associations, and in the popularisation and development of modern sports at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in Serbia. The development of gymnastics was accompanied by the provision of suitable exercising conditions, the organisation of professional courses for the gymnastics teachers and the publishing of appropriate literature.
