description: Learning generalizable representation and classifier for class-imbalanced data is challenging for data-driven deep models. Most studies attempt to re-balance the data distribution, which is prone to overfitting on tail classes and underfitting on head classes. In this work, we propose Dual Compensation Residual Networks to better fit both tail and head classes. Firstly, we propose dual Feature Compensation Module (FCM) and Logit Compensation Module (LCM) to alleviate the overfitting issue. The design of these two modules is based on the observation: an important factor causing overfitting is that there is severe feature drift between training and test data on tail classes. In details, the test features of a tail category tend to drift towards feature cloud of multiple similar head categories. So FCM estimates a multi-mode feature drift direction for each tail category and compensate for it. Furthermore, LCM translates the deterministic feature drift vector estimated by FCM along intra-class variations, so as to cover a larger effective compensation space, thereby better fitting the test features. Secondly, we propose a Residual Balanced Multi-Proxies Classifier (RBMC) to alleviate the under-fitting issue. Motivated by the observation that re-balancing strategy hinders the classifier from learning sufficient head knowledge and eventually causes underfitting, RBMC utilizes uniform learning with a residual path to facilitate classifier learning. Comprehensive experiments on Long-tailed and Class-Incremental benchmarks validate the efficacy of our method.

description: We show that with respect to the Haar state, the joint distributions of the generators of Van Daele and Wang's free orthogonal quantum groups are modeled by free families of generalized circular elements and semicircular elements in the large (quantum) dimension limit. We also show that this class of quantum groups acts naturally as distributional symmetries of almost-periodic free Araki-Woods factors.

description: L’éducation numérique vient de faire son apparition dans le Plan d'Études Romand. Dans ce vaste champ disciplinaire, qui amène à s’interroger sur les médias, les usages du numérique et la science informatique, enseignants et élèves sont amenés à s’interroger sur la notion de l’algorithme. Ce travail vise à apporter des pistes et des outils pour permettre aux élèves de conceptualiser cette notion abstraite pourtant omniprésente dans notre quotidien. Habileté bien plus complexe que simplement comprendre, conceptualiser demande une série d’étapes cognitives complexes, identifiées par Britt-Mari Barth (1987), qui permettent d’affirmer que la notion a été construite de manière abstraite dans l’esprit. Pour ce faire, en partant de la littérature existante sur le concreteness fading, nous avons établi deux protocoles expérimentaux basés l’un sur la manipulation du robot Thymio, et l’autre sur l’apprentissage sur simulateur, sans possibilité d’explorer physiquement le robot. Après avoir mené une expérimentation dans deux classes du primaire, nous arrivons à la conclusion que la manipulation d’un robot durant le processus d’enseignement ne présente pas d’avantages significatifs par rapport à un enseignement sur simulateur en termes d’apprentissage. En revanche, des améliorations significatives ont pu être démontrées quant au sentiment de compétence que ressentent les élèves sur leurs propres capacités à programmer un robot. Ceci nous amène à plébisciter une démarche mixte, basée sur les principes du concreteness fading, afin de mener tous les élèves vers des apprentissages signifiants. Notre recherche amène à repenser la linéarité de ce dispositif d’enseignement (manipulation concrète, puis symbolique puis abstraite) pour en proposer une version remodelée et moins segmentée afin de favoriser les apprentissages de tous les élèves. Il serait alors question de proposer aux élèves des démarches mixtes d’apprentissage, incluant de la variation de supports à différentes étapes de la séquence d’enseignement.

description: Дальневосточный федеральный округ представляет собой территориально-экономическую зону, в которой присутствуют все крупнейшие объекты, составляющие сырьевую ресурсную базу страны и формируют фундамент нефтегазового комплекса. В настоящее время для экономики региона характерно экспортно-сырьевое направление и низкий уровень конкурентоспособности сектора переработки. Для выхода из этой ситуации правительство Российской Федерации определило конкретные пути решения стоящих проблем. В результате пристального внимания со стороны президента России и управляющей власти обеспечивается приток инвестиционных средств для развития проектов внутри ДФО. Большая часть вкладываемых средств направлена на повышение уровня инфраструктуры региона, что в свою очередь обеспечит модернизацию и ее рост для привлечения инвестиций в промышленность и другие сферы производства. Учитывая современные тенденции на нефтегазовом рынке, диверсификация экспорта нефти и газа на Дальнем Востоке ориентирована на европейский рынок для того, чтобы войти и утвердить свое положение на быстро развивающемся рынке Азиатско-Тихоокеанского региона (АТР).

description: Satisfying the needs of mitigation for losses of habitat and biological resources demands further development of ecological theory to improve quantitative predictions of benefits of ecological restoration projects. Several limitations now exist in scaling compensatory restoration to match losses of ecosystem services. Scaling of restoration projects has historically been done by area of habitat, assuming that function follows. One recent development in compensatory mitigation uses a currency of secondary production, which has the important merit of specifying one measurable, functional goal against which to judge success. Future development of the fundamental basis for restoration ecology might profitably include: (1) identifying and quantifying important ecosystem services to serve as alternative goals of restoration; (2) discriminating among size classes in a population in estimating their contributions to ecosystem services; (3) re-evaluating the practice of restoring the populations of only a few representative or dominant species to replace a diversity of species losses; (4) contrasting the success of habitat restorations versus population enhancements; (5) incorporating more landscape-scale considerations into ecosystem-based restoration designs; (6) injecting more formal uncertainty analyses into scaling restoration projects; (7) enhancing the basic science of population, community, and ecosystem ecology to improve the capacity of the discipline to predict impacts of interventions; (8) integrating empirical and theoretical developments in food web dynamics to resolve contradictions in our models of how population changes propagate across trophic levels; and (9) incorporating the concept that populations, communities or ecosystems targeted for restoration may now be in alternative states and that restoration targets have been biased by shifting historical baselines. Forging partnerships between the practitioners of ecological restoration and basic ecologists holds a dual promise for testing ecological theory and for improving the effectiveness of environmental restoration.

Estimated enhancement of fish production resulting from restoring oyster reef habitat: quantitative valuation

description: We reviewed studies providing quantitative measurements of abundance of fishes and large mobile crustaceans on oyster reefs and on nearby sedimentary habitat in the southeast United States. For each species, we compared density by size (age) class on oyster reefs and sedimentary bottom as a means of estimating the degree to which restoration of oyster reef on sedimentary bottom could augment abundances. By applying published information on growth rates of each species and a combination of empirical data and published information on age-specific survivorship, we calculated the per-unit-area enhancement of production of fishes and large mobile crustaceans expected from the addition of oyster reef habitat. For this calculation, we gave the reef habitat full credit for the expected lifetime production of species whose recruitment was judged to be limited by the area of oyster reefs based on nearly exclusive association of recruits to reefs. For species that were only modestly enhanced in abundance by oyster reefs, we gave the reef credit for the fraction of production that is derived from consumption of reef-associated prey, using a combination of gut content data and natural history information. This combination of analyses and calculations revealed that 10 m(2) Of restored oyster reef in the southeast United States is expected to yield an additional 2.6 kg yr(-1) of production of fish and large mobile crustaceans for the functional lifetime of the reef. Because the reef is biogenic and self-sustaining, the lifetime of a reef protected from bottom-disturbing fishing gear is limited by intense storms or sedimentation. A reef lasting 20 to 30 yr would be expected to augment fish and large mobile crustacean production by a cumulative amount of 38 to 50 kg 10 m(-2), discounted to present-day value. This set of calculations assumes that oyster reef habitat now limits production of reef-associated fish and crustaceans in the southeast United States. This assumption seems reasonable based on the tight associations of so many fishes with reef-dependent prey, and the depletion of reef habitat over the past century.
“What secret torture?”: Normativity, “Homoeros” and the Will to Escape in Yeats’s “The Land of Heart’s Desire” and Edward Martyn’s “The Heather Field”

description: This paper offers a dramaturgical and comparative analysis of W.B. Yeats’s The Land of Heart’s Desire (1889) and Edward Martyn’s The Heather Field (1899) in light of their representation of the tension between the queer and the normative. I focus on characters who feel different and the unease of the normative discourse which insults them and perceives their existence as a threat for traditional family values and as a cause of the family’s unhappiness. This tension between the queer and the normative is also what creates spaces that allow new ways to think about gender and sexuality in these plays. I also argue that playwrights like Yeats and Martyn associated with the Revival and the Irish Literary Theatre often used the mainstream and widely accepted cultural framework of the supernatural to express same-sex intimacies in code and to offer a discourse of legitimation for non-normative subjectivities. Both Martyn’s and Yeats’s plays tell about the pressure normalcy imposes on stigmatised individuals and the resulting desire to escape to find alternative ways of love, intimacy and happiness. I will refer to the works of contemporary queer theorists including Jack Halberstam, Heather Love, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Didier Eribon, José Esteban Muñoz and Sara Ahmed to demonstrate that these plays can offer “a rich archive of queer historical structures of feeling” (Love 2007, 24).

description: We present an analysis of the nature of the rapidly rotating, apparently single giant based on rotational and radial velocity measurements carried out by the CORAVEL spectrometers. From the analyzed sample, composed of 2010 spectroscopic, apparently single, evolved stars of luminosity classes IV, III, II, and Ib with spectral types G and K, we classified 30 stars that presented unusual, moderate to rapid rotation. This work reports, for the first time, the presence of these abnormal rotators among subgiant, bright giant, and Ib supergiant stars. To date, this class of stars was reported only among giant stars of luminosity class III. Most of these abnormal rotators present an IRAS infrared excess, which, in principle, can be related to dust around these stars.

description: This paper examines the possibilities, benefits and challenges of enriching a module of face-to-face university course with complementary distance learning, with focuses on the acquisition of practical skills related to the design and development of digital educational material. To fulfil the above, two teaching interventions were carried out at undergraduate and postgraduate level and “Branching Scenario” was chosen as the teaching topic. As for the methodological part of the research, quantitative and qualitative data were collected, from questionnaire, interviews, and the evaluation of the students’ final laboratory exercises. A total of 154 undergraduate students participated and were divided into 25 groups and 7 postgraduate students of which two worked in group. The final number of laboratory exercises was 31, while 15 questionnaires were completed, and 8 interviews were conducted. The results showed that most of the students had good learning experience and learning outcomes. Although they had a positive experience and recognized the benefits of utilizing distance learning practices, students seem to prefer face-to-face courses, as nothing can replace the interaction with teachers and fellow students that a conventional classroom offers.

description: A commonly-used representation for motion prediction of actors is a sequence of waypoints (comprising positions and orientations) for each actor at discrete future time-points. While this approach is simple and flexible, it can exhibit unrealistic higher-order derivatives (such as acceleration) and approximation errors at intermediate time steps. To address this issue we propose a simple and general representation for temporally continuous probabilistic trajectory prediction that is based on polynomial trajectory parameterization. We evaluate the proposed representation on supervised trajectory prediction tasks using two large self-driving data sets. The results show realistic higher-order derivatives and better accuracy at interpolated time-points, as well as the benefits of the inferred noise distributions over the trajectories. Extensive experimental studies based on existing state-of-the-art models demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach relative to other representations in predicting the future motions of vehicle, bicyclist, and pedestrian traffic actors.

description: Collision-free or contact-free routing through connected networks has been actively studied in the industrial automation and manufacturing context. Contact-free routing of personnel through connected networks (e.g., factories, retail warehouses) may also be required in the COVID-19 context. In this context, we present an optimization framework for identifying routes through a connected network that eliminate or minimize contacts between randomly arriving agents needing to visit a subset of nodes in the network in minimal time. We simulate the agent arrival and network traversal process, and introduce stochasticity in travel speeds, node dwell times, and compliance with assigned routes. We present two optimization formulations for generating optimal routes - no-contact and minimal-contact - on a real-time basis for each agent arriving to the network given the route information of other agents already in the network. We generate results for the time-average number of contacts and normalized time spent in the network.

Estimating enhancement of fish production by offshore artificial reefs: uncertainty exhibited by divergent scenarios

description: ABSTRACT: Whether artificial reefs installed in estuarine/marine waters function to produce more fish (enhancement) or simply to attract existing fish (attraction) is still under debate. Despite little resolution over this issue, artificial reefs are often considered for use as compensatory mitigation for damaged marine resources. We estimate the quantitative enhancement of fish production under 4 plausible scenarios: attraction, enhancement, enhancement with fishing, and attraction with fishing. Our intent is not to resolve the attraction-enhancement debate, but to quantify the uncertainty associated with using artificial reefs as compensatory mitigation. Pertinent parameters for production calculations (fish density by size class, length-frequency distributions, diets, behaviors, age-specific growth and mortality rates) were obtained from syntheses of findings from artificial reef studies conducted in coastal waters of the southeastern USA and from species life-history profiles. Year-round reef inhabitants were separated into 2 groups: those whose recruitment appears to be limited by available reef habitat (only 2 taxa) and those not augmented in recruitment but potentially enhanced in realized production by provision of refuges and reef-associated prey (15 taxa). Estimates of enhanced production in this latter group were discounted by an index of reef exclusivity in diet to give production credit in proportion to consumption of reef-associated prey. Estimates of annual production enhancement per 10 m² of artificial reef ranged from 0 kg under the attraction scenario to 6.45 kg wet weight under the assumption of enhancement plus protection from fishing. Application of fishing reduced the enhancement estimate by 32% to 4.44 kg 10 m–2 yr–1. A 4th scenario of attraction with fishing may yield a net decline in production of a similar magnitude. In contrast to many natural structural habitats (seagrass meadows, oyster reefs, salt marshes, mangroves) that have dramatically decreased over past decades and are clearly important nursery grounds, evidence is weak that habitat provided by artificial reefs on the shallow continental shelf of the southeastern USA is currently limiting to fish production. Until convincing empirical evidence appears, high scientific uncertainty limits confidence in using artificial reefs as compensatory mitigation. Furthermore, even if augmented production were achieved, managing fishing impacts would be critical to achieving the expected production benefit.
High activity and low temperature optima of extracellular enzymes in Arctic sediments: implications for carbon cycling by heterotrophic microbial communities

description: ABSTRACT: The rate of the initial step in microbial remineralization of organic carbon, extracellular enzymatic hydrolysis, was investigated as a function of temperature in permanently cold sediments from 2 fjords on the west coast of Svalbard (Arctic Ocean). We used 4 structurally distinct polysaccharides (chondroitin sulfate, fucoidan, xylan and pullulan) to determine the temperature-activity responses of hydrolysis of a related class of compounds. All 4 enzyme activities showed similarly low temperature optima in the range of 15 to 18°C. These temperature optima are considerably lower than most previous reports of temperature optima for enzyme activities in marine sediments. At 0°C, close to the in situ temperature, these enzyme activities achieved 13 to 38% of their rates at optimum temperatures. In one experiment, sulfate reduction rates were measured in parallel with extracellular enzymatic hydrolysis in order to determine the relative temperature responses of the initial and terminal steps in microbial remineralization of carbon. The temperature optimum of sulfate reduction, 21°C, was considerably lower than previous reports of sulfate reduction in marine sediments, but is consistent with recent studies of psychrophilic sulfate reducers isolated from Svalbard sediments. A calculation of potential carbon flow into the microbial food chain demonstrated that the activity of just one type of polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme could in theory supply 21 to 100% of the carbon consumed via sulfate reduction across the temperature range investigated here. These characteristics suggest that these extracellular enzymes are well adapted to permanently cold temperatures.
Restoration that targets function as opposed to structure: replacing lost bivalve production and filtration

description: ABSTRACT: Abundant suspension-feeding bivalves have a dominant organizing role in shallow aquatic systems by filtering overlying waters, affecting biogeochemical processing, and diverting production from the water column to the benthos. In degraded aquatic systems where bivalve populations have been reduced, successful restoration of ecosystem functions may be achieved by targeting the revival of bivalve populations. The ‘North Cape’ oil spill on the coast of Rhode Island (USA) provides an opportunity to demonstrate the feasibility of scaling bivalve restoration to meet quantitative goals of enhanced production. After this oil spill, mortalities of bivalves were estimated by impact assessment modeling of acute toxicity, and results were confirmed by comparisons with counts of dead and moribund animals on local beaches. Computation of lost bivalve production included future production expected from affected animals, had they lived out their expected life spans. This calculation of production forgone required a demographic model that combined age-specific mortality with individual growth. Application of this modeling approach to surf clams Spisula solidissima, the species that comprised 97% of the total loss of bivalve production from the spill, illustrates the detailed implementation of scaling restoration to match estimates of losses. We consider the factors known to limit abundance and production of surf clams and other marine bivalves (hard clams, American oysters and bay scallops) and review the advantages of hatchery stocking, transplantation, habitat restoration, and reduction of fishing pressure in selecting a reliable and efficient restoration action. Age-specific estimates of the scale of population enhancement required to restore production showed that fewer additional animals were needed when larger (older) animals were added, but at the expense of greater grow-out requirements. Relaxation of fishing was most effective for hard clams. Accurate scaling of restoration was most sensitive to mortality rate, and the most efficient restoration involving seeding of small bivalves would be accomplished using surf clams. Monitoring of the restoration option chosen to compensate for the bivalve loss following the ‘North Cape’ oil spill can serve to test the underlying demographic assumptions and accuracy of the restoration scaling.

”Ortha an Ghreama“ as a Lesser-known Irish Traveller Narrative: Symbolic Inversion and Resistance
Creators: name: Ó HAodha, Mícheál
Publisher: name: Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies
Year: 2020

description: Irish folk tradition includes a long-established discourse whereby the formerly nomadic or semi-nomadic group known as Irish Travellers, who comprise a tiny minority within Irish society are depicted not only as quintessential “outsiders” but also as a projective mechanism for the hates and fears of the settled (non-Traveller) community. This essay examines a counter-tradition in Irish oral tradition that rejects these essentialist and reductionist representations and constructs Travellers very differently. This alternative portayal sets Travellers within a very different discourse, one where they serve as a counter-hegemonic undercurrent in Irish society that remains symbolically central despite attempts at its suppression. This more radical and nuanced discourse, one whereby that which is initially deemed lowly or subordinate is inverted and becomes paramount, is circumscribed within the traditions of symbolic inversion and holy wisdom as long-established in other European countries. This counter-hegemonic discourse is linked to a discussion concerning the philosophical possibilities for a movement beyond the politics of difference that is constitutive of Traveller Otherness or alterity and the potential for a more nuanced or postmodernist theorisation of Self/Other relations.

description:

Il lavoro esplora il fenomeno della povertà educativa, un costrutto multidimensionale e polisemico interpretato come il risultato di un processo di esclusione che, ostacolando l’accesso a diverse opportunità formative, limita il diritto al pieno sviluppo del potenziale educativo umano. In particolare, i minori con background migratorio sono segnatamente esposti alla povertà educativa, a causa di sfide legate all’ambiente socio-economico-culturale di provenienza, ostacoli burocratici e difficoltà nelle traiettorie scolastiche. Dunque, l’obiettivo della ricerca è indagare il problema della povertà educativa dei minori provenienti da contesti migratori, con particolare riferimento a diverse dimensioni proprie del contesto educativo formale, non formale e informale. L’indagine si avvale di un approccio quantitativo, attraverso la somministrazione di un questionario semistrutturato autocompilato con rilevazione di gruppo a un campione statisticamente rappresentativo di 1761 alunni iscritti al terzo anno di scuola secondaria di primo grado nel comune di Roma. Questo studio mira a contribuire alla comprensione del fenomeno della povertà educativa, con un’attenzione particolare ai minori provenienti da contesti migratori, arricchendo dunque il dibattito scientifico in corso e supportando la realizzazione di interventi finalizzati alla prevenzione e al contrasto della povertà educativa.
Disability Theatre in Ireland: A Development

description: The aim of this paper is to trace recent developments in Irish disability theatre, primarily in the light of the theoretical debate that envisions disability theatre at the interdisciplinary crossroads of disability studies and performance studies. I will describe how disability theatre in Ireland was portrayed in Face On: Disability Arts in Ireland and Beyond (2007) edited by Katie O’Reilly. In particular, many contributors lament the backwardness of disability theatre in Ireland. In 2012, however, the Irish Arts Council revised and formalised its previous policy, which had been ineffective in supporting artists and audiences with disabilities. In conjunction with Arts and Disability Ireland, their strategic plans brought forth significant changes in Irish disability theatre.

Jewish Drama on the Irish Stage: The Socio-Political and Cultural Milieu of the Dublin Jewish Amateur Operatic Society (1908-1910) and the Dublin Jewish Dramatic Society (1924-1954)
Creators: name: Montgomery, Barry
Publisher: name: Studi irlandesi. A Journal of Irish Studies

description: This essay will conduct an examination into the as yet under-researched history of Jewish drama and theatre in Ireland. It will explore a number of socio-political and cultural contexts pertinent to shared or paralleled Jewish, Irish, and Irish Jewish concerns over language, identity, history, nationalisms, prejudice and oppression. It will also explore direct or implicit engagements and dialogues between various Irish Jewish dramatic societies and non-Jewish Irish movements and societies such as the Irish Literary Revival and the Gaelic League. Ultimately, the research hopes to provide a framework for future studies into Irish Jewish theatre providing a public platform giving voice to Ireland’s largest non-Christian minority during the first half of the twentieth century.

description: We use canonical formalism to study the fermion determinant in different three dimensional abelian gauge field backgrounds that contain non-zero magnetic and electric flux in order to understand the non-perturbative contributions to the parity-odd and parity-even parts of the phase. We show that a certain phase associated with free fermion propagation along a closed path in a momentum torus is responsible for the parity anomaly in a background with non-zero electric flux. We consider perturbations around backgrounds with non-zero magnetic flux to understand the structure of the parity-breaking perturbative term at finite temperature and mass.

description: Support de formation portant sur la science ouverte, les données de la recherche et la rédaction de plan de gestion de données (PGD) dans le cadre d'un projet ANR. Cadre de la formation : les chercheurs de l'université lauréats d'un projet ANR sont conviés à prendre part à un atelier d'échanges entre pairs portant sur la rédaction d'un plan de gestion de données. Déroulé de la formation :  présentation des intervenants tour de table (présentation de chaque chercheur, de son projet de recherche, évocation de leurs attentes) rapide remise en contexte (science ouverte, données de la recherche) présentation du plan de gestion des données et de ses enjeux dans le cadre d'un projet ANR présentation de l'application DMP-Opidor à partir d'un exemple concret de PGD (avec l'accord de son auteur) réponses aux questions Le support de formation utilisé est succinct, la formation se concentrant essentiellement sur les échanges avec les chercheurs et la présentation de DMP-Opidor. Utiliser et présenter l'exemple concret d'un PGD via DMP-Opidor permet d'évoquer de manière plus fluide les enjeux des données de la recherche, l'utilité de rédiger un plan de gestion de données et les attentes de l'ANR. Le but est d'éclaircir, dans un premier temps, toutes ces questions avec les chercheurs au cours de l'atelier, puis, dans un second temps, de leur proposer un accompagnement personnalisé tout au long de leur projet ANR. Objectifs de la formation : comprendre le mouvement de la science ouverte sensibiliser les chercheurs aux enjeux d'une bonne "gestion" des données de la recherche découvrir ce qu'est un plan de gestion de données découvrir l'application DMP-Opidor Format : atelier d'échanges entre pairs Public cible : enseignants-chercheurs, chercheurs Durée : 1h Nombre de formateurs : 2 (un pour prendre des notes, le second pour animer la formation) Et ensuite : les formateurs reprennent contact avec les chercheurs pour leur faire parvenir le livrable (support de formation) et leur proposer plusieurs formules de suivi (un rendez-vous individuel, la saisie de leur PGD sur DMP-Opidor, la relecture de leur PGD...)

description: Nous avons décidé de mener une recherche en lien avec l’évaluation en raison de l’importance et de la place que celle-ci détient au sein de notre société. Afin de diriger les élèves vers une évaluation adéquate et représentative de leurs apprentissages, nous avons décidé de nous intéresser aux apports d’une préparation en amont des épreuves sommatives. Nous avons commencé ce travail en définissant ce que nous entendions par « préparation à l’évaluation » grâce aux diverses lectures effectuées. Cette notion englobe cinq paramètres qui représentent des clés d’apprentissages transversaux. Notre recherche s’effectue par l’observation ainsi que par une analyse des modes de fonctionnements d’enseignant·e-s ainsi que sur la perception des élèves. Pour ce faire, nous avons procédé à de courts entretiens avec douze élèves de profils divers ainsi que quatre enseignant·e·s travaillant dans des classes de différents degrés. Ces données nous ont permis de constater différents éléments, tels que : - Le stress pourrait être davantage abordé, car c’est un sentiment très présent chez les élèves et seule la moitié des enseignant·e·s interrogé·e·s proposent des moyens de la travailler. - Plus tôt dans la scolarité obligatoire nous mettons en place ces outils, plus tôt ils pourront être bénéfiques aux élèves et être intégrés. - Dans l’ensemble, les enseignant·e·s proposent divers outils, mais seule une enseignante met en place les cinq éléments que nous proposons. Ces résultats nous ont alors permis de répondre à nos hypothèses initiales mais également de percevoir que les élèves ne sont que partiellement conscients du travail préparatoire qu’effectue l’enseignant·e, car ils pensent qu’il s’agit uniquement d’apprendre pour se préparer à une épreuve. Suite à ce travail, nous souhaitons mettre un accent sur cette préparation à l’évaluation dans nos futures classes de façon à éliminer un maximum de paramètres perturbateurs, qui finalement ne concernent pas directement le contenu de l’évaluation.
title: Searching for Critical Consciousness; in the Pursuit of Freedom
Creators: name: Loy, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: This thesis will illuminate and add to a deeper understanding of the pervasive and 
suffocating nature of oppression experienced by people racialised as Black in the Liverpool 8 
community. The framework of critical consciousness given by Freire will be analysed, 
embedded and developed through the literature to understand the nature of oppression and 
how actors transform their state of oppression from a place of conscientisation. To 
understand the nature of oppression structural and symbolic violence will be delved into 
through a variety of literature. The literature will incorporate topics such as racial 
capitalism, zero sum thinking, and dog whistle politics to evidence that evolution of structural
violence over centuries to maintain a system of dominance over people racialised as Black in 
the Anglophone West. Symbolic violence will be evidenced through historical memory 
education, the politics of shame, and the phenomenology of the body to illustrate that 
symbolic violence is a political tool of oppression utilised to dehumanise marginalised 
groups as deviant to societal norms, leaving them in an objectified state of oppression. Black 
feminist thinkers building upon the work of Freire will espouse the route to liberation 
through a critically conscious, reclamation of radical subjectivity. Analysis with activists 
from the Liverpool 8 community and case study will highlight the necessity of radical 
subjectivity to be embodied. A theory of the experiential journey of transforming from 
objectivity to subjectivity will be positioned as Critical Subjective Black Phenomenology, a 
practise in the pursuit of freedom.
