Abstract

Our social interactions are driven by complex biopsychic processes that are complicated by the fact that humans are individuals and at the same time members of one or more social systems, such as schools. This book contributes to explaining the social mechanisms influencing students' “need to belong” fulfilment at school. The theoretical framework is informed by human needs understood as cognitive mechanisms of neural processes that regulate human behaviour and bio-values. The fieldwork was conducted in two secondary schools in Austria and Australia. Based on the findings, the transformative three-step approach suggests a course of action for student belonging. Unsere sozialen Interaktionen werden von komplexen biopsychischen Prozessen angetrieben, die dadurch verkompliziert werden, dass der Mensch ein Individuum ist und gleichzeitig Mitglied eines oder mehrerer sozialer Systeme, wie bspw. der Schule. Dieses Buch trägt dazu bei, die sozialen Mechanismen des „Bedürfnisses nach Zugehörigkeit“ bei Schüler*innen in Schulkontexten zu erklären. Der theoretische Rahmen basiert auf einem Verständnis von Bedürfnissen als kognitive Mechanismen neuronaler Prozesse, die menschliches Verhalten und Körperwerte regulieren. Die Feldforschung wurde in zwei Sekundarschulen in Österreich und Australien durchgeführt. Handlungsleitlinien, die Schüler*innen dabei helfen sollen, sich zugehörig zu fühlen, werden von den Ergebnissen abgeleitet.

Abstract

This master’s thesis intends to contribute to the renewal of the assessment framework of the agriculture in order to face the sustainability issue. The rationale of the chosen assessment framework consists in identifying the critical natural capital through the exploration of the links that exist between agriculture and human well-being using the ecosystem services concept and the fundamental human needs concept in a participative manner.
Practically, this work is based on the implementation of this assessment framework to the study of a farm sustainability that is located in the Condroz (Wallonia, Belgium). Fourteen semi-structured interviews have been driven with local people and with two individuals symbolizing the need for intragenerational and intergenerational equity. The three main objectives were to list the ecosystem services provided by the farm, to determine their contribution to human well-being and to identify the ecosystem services that constitute the critical natural capital of the farm.
The results illustrate the potential of the studied farm to provide numerous ecosystem services as well as the potential of those ecosystem services to be mobilized in order to contribute to human well-being in mutliple manners. The relevance of the conceptual framework to appreciate the multidimensionality of the agriculture and of the human well-being is confirmed. However, the mobilization of the critical natural capital concept did not enable us to identify the critical ecosystem services in a conclusive manner.
The method having proven its interest as a discursive tool, it is suggested to develop forward the operationalization of the critical natural capital concept by modifiying its application scale and by developing its appropriability. Then, in order to be truly participative, it is necessary to implement the method at a collective level. Finally, the results show the necessity to envision both satisfaction and dissatsifaction of fundamental human needs. Additional tools taken from the capability approach and from the fundamental human needs approach seems promising. Ce travail se propose de participer au renouvellement du cadre d’évaluation de l’agriculture afin de tenir compte de l’exigence de soutenabilité. La logique du cadre d’évaluation adopté consiste à identifier le capital naturel critique en investiguant les liens entre agriculture et bien-être humain à travers la mobilisation des concepts de services écosystémiques et de besoins humains fondamentaux dans une optique participative.
Concrètement, ce travail repose sur l’application de ce cadre d’évaluation à l’étude de la soutenabilité d’une ferme condrusienne (Wallonie, Belgique). Quatorze entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés à une échelle locale et avec deux personnes symbolisant le nécessité d’être attentif à l’équité intragénérationnelle et intergénérationnelle. Les trois principaux objectifs de ces entretiens étaient de lister les services écosystémiques générés par cette ferme, de déterminer leur contribution au bien-être humain et d’identifier les services écosystémiques constitutifs du capital naturel critique de la ferme.
Les résultats illustrent le potentiel de la ferme étudiée à générer de nombreux services écosystémiques en même temps que la capacité de chacun de ces services à contribuer de manière multiple au bien-être humain. L’intérêt du cadre conceptuel mobilisé pour appréhender la multidimensionnalité de l’agriculture et du bien-être humain est confirmé. Par contre, le mobilisation du concept de capital natural critique n’a pas permis d’identifier les services écosystémiques critiques de manière concluante.
La méthode a témoigné de son intérêt en tant qu’outil discursif. En conséquence, il est suggéré de développer plus en avant l’opérationnalisation du concept de capital naturel critique en modifiant son échelle d’application et en développant son appropriabilité. Ensuite, afin d’être réellement participative, la méthode devrait être adaptée à l’échelle collective. Enfin, les résultats témoignent de la nécessité pour la méthode élaborée d’envisager autant la satisfaction que l’insatisfaction des besoins humains fondamentaux. De nouveaux outils empruntés à l’approche par les capabilités et à l’approche des besoins humains fondamentaux semblent prometteurs.

Abstract

Food and cuisine are important subjects for historians across many areas of study. Food, after all, is one of the most basic human needs and a foundational part of social and cultural histories. Such topics as famines, food supply, nutrition, and public health are addressed by historians specializing in every era and every nation. Food in Time and Place delivers an unprecedented review of the state of historical research on food, endorsed by the American Historical Association, providing readers with a geographically, chronologically, and topically broad understanding of food cultures-from ancient Mediterranean and medieval societies to France and its domination of haute cuisine. Teachers, students, and scholars in food history will appreciate coverage of different thematic concerns, such as transfers of crops, conquest, colonization, immigration, and modern forms of globalization.

Abstract

Marjorie Boyle is the first theologian to write about Petrarch the poet as theologian. With her extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of the theological, historical, and literary contexts of her subject, she presents an entirely original and revisionary account of Petrarch's literary career. Petrarch, she argues, has been misunderstood by the division of his literary enterprise into two sides--Petrarch the poet, Petrarch the humanist reformer--studied by literary critics and historians respectively. Boyle demonstrates that the division is artificial, that the two sides are part of the same prophetic mission. Petrarch's Genius is an important book that deserves to be read by all Petrarch scholars--theologians as well as literary critics and historians.
