The analysis of American and British women's magazines during the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, the representation of women and of their roles in society, as well as the interpretation of these magazine’s subliminal messages are the main goals of the research. These magazines have been analyzed for the study of the mythical image of the “perfect housewife” and its impact on the readers, as well as the transformation of these women from housewives to « De la « femme au foyer » à la « féministe » : une étude comparative de l'évolution des femmes britanniques et américaines dans les années 1950 et 1960 à travers les magazines féminins » feminists during the 1950’s and 1960’s. Finally, a comparison between American and British feminist movements during this time will be established. The study will approach the magazines as participants in the evolution of the cultural revolution that redefined the American and the British domestic life after WWII. The analysis will focus on the magazine’s multiple roles - business, advice for social and family questions, diffusion of ideas or, simply, source of entertainment and information. The interaction of these publications with the cultured elements of the two countries as their politics, their economy, the new technologies and the social and psychological elements of the new “American Way of Life” will also be examined. The analysis corpus is constituted by the main women’s magazines in both countries, which have an important participation in the construction of the female idealized image: Ladies’ Home Journal, Good Housekeeping and McCall’s in the United States and Housewife, Women’s Day and My Home in the United Kingdom. The main feminists magazines, created in the 1970’s, are also a part of the research : Ms in America and Spare Rib in the UK., L’analyse des magazines féminins américains et britanniques des années 1950, 1960 et 1970, les représentations de la femme et de leur rôle dans la société, ainsi que l’interprétation des messages qui ressortaient de ces publications sont les objectifs fondamentaux de la thèse ici présentée. Ces magazines seront décortiqués dans le but d’analyser les représentations des femmes et de l’image mythifiée de la « femme parfaite » et leur impact sur les lectrices, ainsi que questionner cette vision idéaliste des femmes, comprendre la transformation de ces ménagères en féministes engagées à la fin des années 1950 et, finalement, établir une comparaison entre les mouvements féministes américains et britanniques des années 1950 aux années 1970. Cette étude examinera les magazines en tant que participants à l'évolution des valeurs culturelles qui redéfinissaient la vie domestique américaine et britannique après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. L’analyse ira enquêter sur le multiple rôle des magazines – entreprise, conseillère pour des questions sociales et familiales, diffuseur d’idéologies ou, tout simplement, source de divertissement et information. L’interaction de ces publications avec d’autres éléments culturels de deux pays, dont la politique, l’économie, les nouvelles technologies et les études psychologiques et sociales feront également partie de la recherche. Le corpus d’analyse se constitue des magazines mensuels qui avaient une part importante dans la construction de l’idéalisation de la femme : Ladies’ Home Journal, Good Housekeeping et McCall’s aux Etats-Unis et Housewife, Women’s Day et My Home au Royaume-Uni, ainsi que les magazines féministes créés au début des années 1970, Ms aux Etats-Unis, et Spare Rib au Royaume-Uni.

Com a ascen??o de Akhenaton ao trono egipcio, inicia-se um per?odo que traz in?meras transforma??es ? sociedade do per?odo. Forem objetos de pesquisa as teorias que apontam para uma poss?vel co-reg?ncia entre novo rei e seu pai, Amen?fis III; a substitui??o do antigo pante?o por um ?nico Deus, Aton, e todas as implica??es que essa transforma??o trouxe ? sociedade eg?pcia; al?m da transfer?ncia da capital de Tebas para Akhetaton e a constru??o dessa nova capital. O novo fara? acaba com o culto aos antigos deuses e imp?e o culto a Aton, Deus que estava em segundo plano at? ent?o, acompanhado de outras a??es do rei. Ap?s substituir seu nome Anen?fis IV por Akhenaton, transfere a capital do Egito de Tebas para sua pr?pria cidade, Akhetaton. Seu espa?o ambiental, as semelhan?as e diferen?as entre a casa dos nobres e a dos oper?rios; o Grande Templo de Aton; a casa do Fara?; a aldeia dos trabalhadores; os recursos e atividades econ?micas que mantiam a cidade; e o que aconteceu com a nova capital ap?s a morte de Akhenaton e o fim do culto a Aton foram assuntos focados neste trabalho. Ao redor da nova capital, foram escavados t?mulos nas montanhas rochosas, usados para o sepultamentos dos dignat?rios da Fara?: os de pedra que cercavam Akhetaton; o misterioso t?mulo 55; os dos maiores homens de confian?a do rei, Ay e Horemheb; e a maior descoberta da arqueologia eg?pcia, o t?mulo de Tutanc?mon. Atrav?s de dados arquel?gicos, obtidos nas escava??es realizados no s?tio da cidade e nas tumbas de pedra, ? poss?vel realizar uma caracteriza??o na vida na cidade. A arte do per?odo, chamada "arte amarniana", traz transforma??es est?ticas ?nicas, novas formas e representa??es: a nova est?tica utilizada; o questionamento acerca das representa??es dos rei e da fam?lia real e os temas que nesse per?odo passaram a ser representados. Objetos de uso cotidiano e de uso da fam?lia real tamb?m possibilitam o estabelecimento de caracter?sticas da vida, da religi?o e da arte de Akhenaton. Objetos encontrados no sitio de Akhetaton e nos t?mulos do per?odo puderam nos dar indica??es de como era a vida, a religi?o e a arte do per?odo. Ressaltamos que objetos de uso da fam?lia real poderiam indicar o seu uso pela popula??o da nova capital.

Along the Salween River, water is governed at multiple—at times overlapping—scales with implications for authority and claims to access. In this chapter it is argued that the scales of water governance in Myanmar are currently being contested and how this constitutes a key battleground for future decision-making not only in terms of water governance, but also with implications for the peace negotiations and the federal structure of government that it is working towards.
