[pt] HANS JONAS: IMAGENS E AFETOS PARA UMA ÉTICA ECOLÓGICA / [en] HANS JONAS: IMAGES AND AFFECTS FOR AN ECOLOGICAL ETHICS

MICHELLE BOBSIN DUARTE 15 May 2020 (has links)
[pt] A presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de aprofundar a compreensão do papel das imagens no pensamento de Hans Jonas através da reflexão sobre a influência que estas exercem na experiência de apreensão da realidade, pois, para o autor, a diferença antropológica reside justo na capacidade dos humanos em se relacionar livremente com as imagens. Ou seja, criar e reconhecer as imagens como representações do real, já que o homo pictor inaugurou uma nova maneira de se relacionar com os objetos pela liberdade galgada na expressão da faculdade da imagem. Em sua proposta ética, Hans Jonas postula que é um dever invocar imagens que conduzam a humanidade a agir de acordo com a preservação das condições de existência dos humanos no futuro. Desta maneira, apresenta-se como necessária a investigação do funcionamento da capacidade imaginativa para a compreender em que medida as imagens configuram um componente perceptual capaz de suscitar os afetos adequados à ação ética ecológica. Postulamos que, se para Jonas, a capacidade de produzir, reconhecer e se relacionar com imagens livremente é um atributo do ser humano, isto significa que o autor considera as imagens como executoras de uma função fundamental em nossa percepção do real e, por conseguinte, na concepção de realidade e de visão cosmológica que condicionam as nossas ações no mundo. / [en] The present research has the objective of deepening the understanding of the role of images in Hans Jonas thought through the reflection of their influence in the experience of apprehension of reality. Since, for Jonas, the anthropological difference lies right in the capacity of humans to relate freely to images. That is, to create and recognize the images as representations of the real, inasmuch as homo pictor inaugurated a new way of relating to the objects by the freedom achieved in the expression of the faculty of the image.In his ethical proposal, Hans Jonas postulates that it is a duty to invoke images that lead humanity to act in accordance with the preservation of the conditions of human existence in the future. From this, arises as necessary the investigation of the significance and the functioning of the images in the arousal of the affects for that purpose. We postulate that, if for Jonas the capacity to produce, recognize and relate to images freely is an attribute of the human being, this means that the author considers the images as executing a fundamental function in our perception of reality and, therefore, in the conception of reality and cosmological vision that condition our actions in the world.

The charity organization and the thief: Understanding structures disabling public development in Sierra Leone

Persson, Maria January 2015 (has links)
Recent Structural Adjustment Program (SAP) reforms promoting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) carried out by the Sierra Leonean government has attracted foreign investors into its extractive industry. Access to natural minerals in the country has been ensured through land leases, and the government of Sierra Leone has obtained the opportunity to accumulate revenues through participation on the global market. However, despite increasing state revenues the country remains underdeveloped and unindustrialized, and faces great challenges in promoting public development within state borders. This study aims at illuminating structures of the global economic system and domestic social fabric which may hinder public development in Sierra Leone. Such structures have be illuminated through the application of a qualitative approach including field work, participating observations and open-ended interviews in Kalansogoia chiefdom during May and June 2013. The findings of this study suggest that the international structure of dependency, and domestic formal; informal; informal institutions; and social networks structures hinder public development within Sierra Leone.

You’ve got email! A study about attitudes toward email advertising, based on the components cognition, affection and behavior

Amin, Sandra, Bengtsson, Amanda January 2017 (has links)
Sending email is a very common activity among Swedish consumers nowadays. Email advertising has become a big part of the email usage - both permission-based and unwanted. The purpose of this study was to identify Swedish consumers’ total attitude towards permission- based email advertising, based on the three components cognition, affection and behavior. After identifying the attitude, correlation between the components was examined. The result was used to try Prensky’s generation theory regarding digital natives and digital immigrants, to investigate if it can be useful in the subject email advertising. A quantitative method was used, by publishing a survey on Facebook, which got totally 187 useful responses. The result showed an overall negative attitude and a high correlation between cognition and affection. A medium high correlation between cognition and behavior, and affection and behavior was found. The results partly showed a difference between digital natives and digital immigrants attitude towards email advertising. In the survey a division of four age groups, instead of two, was made. Results from the four groups showed a mix of positive and negative responses, which indicates that Prensky’s generation theory is too general, and cannot be used within email advertising.

A alienação parental e a violação aos direitos da personalidade / Parental alienation and violation of individual rights.

Schaefer, Amanda Polastro 08 May 2014 (has links)
A família pressupõe um reduto de felicidade. Quando se dá a ruptura do afeto, é comum a ocorrência da alienação parental. Esse é um fenômeno que sempre aconteceu, mas recentemente passou a ser objeto de estudo dos doutrinadores, operadores do direito e das pessoas vítimas de tal prática. A alienação parental se verifica quando um dos genitores, em meio a uma disputa, usa os filhos para atingir, desqualificar e/ou se vingar do outro genitor. A prática de atos alienadores surge mais comumente com o fim do relacionamento do casal (pais). Vários juristas, psicólogos e assistentes sociais estão se adaptando ao reconhecimento e identificação desse comportamento que, se efetivamente concretizado, recebe o nome de síndrome da alienação parental. Os profissionais envolvidos com o tema buscam formas de evitar que o filho seja novamente vitimado pelo fim do relacionamento dos pais. Além de estudar a figura novel da alienação parental, buscou-se compreender as previsões contidas na Lei de Alienação Parental de n.º 12.318, sancionada em 26 de agosto de 2010, mostrar que a prática da alienação fere a dignidade da pessoa humana, viola sobremaneira os direitos da personalidade dos filhos e do genitor alienado, em especial, o direito à convivência familiar. Buscou-se também identificar as medidas que podem ser aplicadas para evitar e reprimir alienação parental, especialmente as relacionadas ao planejamento familiar, ao exercício da paternidade responsável, ao uso da guarda compartilhada e ao acompanhamento terapêutico. Por fim buscou-se avaliar as possibilidades de responsabilização do alienador, por meio de tutela inibitória ou ressarcitória. Estudos a respeito do tema começaram nos Estados Unidos, em seguida, na Europa, recentemente no Brasil, todos feitos inicialmente com base nos artigos e escritos de Richard Gardner e Françoise Podevyn. A produção doutrinária e jurisprudencial no Brasil sobre o tema ainda é tímida, sendo também objetivo deste estudo aprofundar a temática e produzir material doutrinário a respeito do assunto. / Family presupposes a stronghold of happiness. When affection ends, parental alienation typically ensues; this is a situation that has always occurred, albeit only recently has it become a matter studied by jurists, law practitioners and victims of such practice. Parental alienation occurs when a parent, amid some dispute, uses his or her children to hit, disqualify and/or take vengeance on the other. Alienating actions are most commonly exercised upon the end of the relationship (parents). Several jurists, psychologists and social workers have adapted to recognizing and identifying this behavior which, if effectively put into practice, is referred to as parental alienation syndrome. Professionals dedicated to studying this issue look for ways to prevent the child from being victimized again by the end of his/her parents failed relationship. In addition to examining the new legal issue of parental alienation, one has sought to understand the provisions set forth by Brazilian Parental Alienation Act No. 12318, sanctioned on August 26th 2010, by demonstrating that alienation violates personal dignity, strongly infringes not only the childrens but also the alienated parents individual rights, not to mention the right to family life. One has also attempted to determine the actions that allow for avoiding and restraining parental alienation, particularly those connected with family planning, joint custody and therapeutic monitoring. Finally, one assessed the likelihood of holding the alienating parent liable, by means of inhibiting or compensatory remedies. Studies on this subject matter started developing in the United States, then in Europe, and only recently in Brazil, and all of them were based on the articles and papers drafted by Richard Gardner and Françoise Podevyn. In Brazil, scholarly writing and case law on this subject has yet to become prolific, wherefor this present study also aims at producing academic material on the matter as well as deepening the analysis thereof.

Etude de l'efficacité du transfert du gène de la beta-D-glucuronidase dans le SNC de chiens atteints de mucopolysaccharidose de type VII. / Feasibility of β-D-glucuronidase gene transfer in the CNS of mucopolysaccharidosis type VII affected dogs.

Cubizolle, Aurélie 20 December 2012 (has links)
La mucopolysaccharidose de type VII (MPS VII) est une maladie génétique de surcharge lysosomale provoquée par une déficience en β-D-glucuronidase (β-glu). β-glu est impliquée dans la cascade de dégradation et de recyclage des glycosaminoglycannes (GAGs). Sa déficience provoque une accumulation vésiculaire de GAGs non dégradés engendrant in fine la mort cellulaire. Notre but est de développer et de tester la pertinence des vecteurs adénoviraux canins helper-dépendant (HD-CAV-2) pour traiter la neurodégénération provoquée par la MPS VII dans le cadre d'une thérapie génique dans le SNC de chien. Parce que les vecteurs CAV-2 transduisent préférentiellement les neurones et qu'ils sont transportés de manière rétrograde le long des axones, leurs distributions dans tout le SNC permettraient de délivrer largement la β-glu dans tout le parenchyme cérébral. Nous avons alors étudié la sureté, la durée d'expression, l'efficacité et la possible réversion du phénotype après injections dans le SNC de chiens MPS VII d'un HD-CAV-2 exprimant le gène humain de la GUSB : HD-RIGIE. Des études préliminaires ont montré la faisabilité du transfert des vecteurs HD-CAV-2 dans le SNC, qu'ils induisaient une réponse immunitaire minimale et qu'ils transduisaient préférentiellement, efficacement et largement les neurones.Nous avons produit un HD-RIGIE de qualité pour les injections intracérébrales et nous avons analysé son efficacité sur l'accumulation de GAGs non dégradés. Les injections de HD-RIGIE montrent une augmentation générale de l'activité β-glu dans tout le SNC des chiens MPS VII (sites d'injections et structures éloignées comme le cortex) et ce 1 mois ou 4 mois après les injections. L'analyse de la GFP confirme une distribution globale de HD-RIGIE dans le SNC d'animaux de grande taille. De plus, grâce aux propriétés intrinsèques de la β-glu (transport rétrograde et phénomène de libération/recapture), nous avons observé une diminution générale de l'accumulation vésiculaire neuronale des GAGs non dégradés dans tout le parenchyme cérébral. D'autre part grâce à la stratégie d'isolement et de non vaccination des chiens MPS VII, nous n'observons ni de réponse immunitaire humorale, ni d'aggravation de l'inflammation du parenchyme. / Mucopolysaccharidosis type VII (MPS VII) is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disease caused by β-D-glucuronidase (β-glu) deficiency. β-glu is involved in the physiological turnover of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Its deficiency causes accumulation of undegraded GAGs inside vesicles leading to cell death. Our goals are to develop and test the clinical relevance of helper-dependant (HD) canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) vectors to treat neural degeneration caused by MPS VII in a dog model. Because CAV-2 targets preferentially neurons and traffics via axons, the distribution of the transgene throughout the CNS will allow widespread delivery of the missing lysosomal enzyme in these disorders with a minimum number of injections. We tested a HD-CAV-2 vector expressing the human GUS gene in the canine model of MPS VII for their safety, efficacy, duration of expression and possible reversion of the MPS VII induced symptoms.A previous study based on HD-CAV-EGFP vector injections in MPS VII-/- and healthy dogs showed that we are now able to inject HD-CAV-2 in the dog brain, have a minimal induction of the immune response, an efficient transduction of the neurons and an efficient biodistribution of transduced cells. After the production of a suitable vector (HD-RIGIE) for injections in the CNS of MPS VII dogs we analysed its efficiency on GAGS storage in neurons.Injections of HD-RIGIE showed after 1 month or 4 months post injections a widespread increase in general level of β-glu activity, in the sites of injections and in distant areas such as cortex. Analysis of GFP, also permit to observe a widespread biodistribution of the vector. Because of β-glu property of cross-correction we observed a global decreased in GAGs storage in the entire MPS VII brains. Finally, the dogs did not present humoral immune response and no aggravation of inflammation

A criatividade sob a luz da experiência: a busca de uma visão integradora do fenômeno criativo\". / Creativity under the light of experience: the search of an integrating vision of the creative phenomenon

Sakamoto, Cleusa Kazue 29 September 1999 (has links)
Busca uma visão mais global do fenômeno criativo e para tanto, elege como objeto de estudo a experiência criativa, já que os estudos habituais da criatividade se destinam à apreensão de seus aspectos de manifestação, a saber: a pessoa, o processo, o produto ou as circunstâncias ambientais envolvidas no acontecimento criador. O estudo baseia-se em entrevistas com pessoas de diferentes áreas profissionais, que relatam suas experiências com a criatividade e, utiliza como guia teórico, a teoria do desenvolvimento emocional de D.W.Winnicott, principalmente em virtude desta proposta teórica representar uma abordagem original do fenômeno criativo. Os relatos das entrevistas apresentam muitos dos temas presentes na teoria de Winnicott, como por exemplo, o Potencial Criativo, a Função da Criatividade e o Fator Facilitador da Afetividade. Os resultados da pesquisa mostram três novos elementos de compreensão da criatividade: a presença de um sentimento de apropriação que indica um compromisso com o processo criativo, a existência de uma ordem interna que rege as ações relacionadas à experiência e a existência de um espaço e um tempo próprios à atividade criadora. A partir da reflexão mais profunda dos resultados, o estudo ressalta a importância da relação entre a criatividade e o desenvolvimento das qualidades afetivas dos seres humanos, uma vez que ambos se encontram nas bases da evolução humana. / Search for a global vision of the creative phenomenon and for that selects as object of study the creative experience, once that usually such studies of creativity are addressed to the apprehension of its aspects of manifestation, as follows: the person, the process, the product or the ambient circumstances involved in the creating event. The study is based on interviews with people from different professional areas, reporting their experience with the creativy and, utilises as theoretical guide, the theory of the emotional development by D. W. Winnicott, mainly due to the fact that this theoretical proposal represents a original approach of the creative phenomenon. The reports from the interviews show many of existing themes at Winnicotts theory, such as, the Creative Potential, the Function of Creativity and the Facilitator Factor of the Affectiveness. The surveys result shows three new elements of comprehension of the creativity: the presence of a feeling of appropriation that indicates a compromise with the creative process, the existence of a internal order that guide the actions related to the experience and the existence of a space and a time pertaining to the creating activity. From a deeper refletion of the results, the study distinguishes the importance of the relationship between the creativity and the development of the human beings affective qualities, once that both them are met in the basis of the human evolution.

O VALOR JURÍDICO DO ABANDONO PATERNAL À LUZ DO PRINCÍPIO DA AFETIVIDADE: o Direito do lado esquerdo do peito.

No. of bitstreams: 1 LOYANNE VERDUSSEN DE ALMEIDA FIRMINO CALAFIORI.pdf: 477258 bytes, checksum: 37b2730e9950ca5800bfd3266bea5e37 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-31 / The new "right of families", permeated by the appreciation of affection on family ties, represented by recent decision of the Superior Court of Justice, introduced a new compensation mode due to the absence of parental affection, recognizing that the emotional abandonment has legal force, constituting a violation of the fundamental right to affection wrapped up by the Federal Constitution. That s because, until very recently, the law had never bothered to offer an answer to the children emotionally abandoned by their parents, but now, after years and years of inaction, the judiciary, finally, brings the sales of their eyes, consecrating the family as affection and solidarity within nest among its members. The fact is that the emotional abandonment is priceless and never will, because money can never erase the memories of the children rejected unexcused absences parents in moments that will never return. However, as these situations were common, the judiciary only now woken up to them. This new understanding, fruit of neoconstitutionalism and irradiation of the rules on family, strode in not patrimonialization of family ties by recognizing that affection is essential in achieving the dignity of the human person, breaking a traditionalist doctrine that only saw the father obligation the only duty to pay maintenance, leaving released from any obligation with respect to another child. The law could not force the father to love his son, but did what was within his reach, recognizing that the greatest contribution that a parent can offer your child is affection, presence, care and support, not only offering you goods that money can buy, but, above all, providing you with care, which is nothing more than a commitment to ensure affection. / O novo direito das famílias , permeado pela valorização do afeto nos laços familiares, representado por recente decisão do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, fez surgir uma nova modalidade de indenização decorrente da ausência de afeto paternal, reconhecendo que o abandono afetivo possui valor jurídico, constituindo uma violação do direito fundamental ao afeto agasalhado pela Constituição Federal. Isso porque, até muito pouco tempo atrás, o ordenamento jurídico nunca havia se preocupado em oferecer uma resposta aos filhos abandonados afetivamente pelos pais, mas agora, após anos e anos de omissão, o Judiciário, enfim, retira as vendas de seus olhos, consagrando a família como ninho de afeto e seio de solidariedade entre seus membros. O fato é que o abandono afetivo não tem preço e nunca terá, pois o dinheiro jamais poderá apagar das lembranças dos filhos rejeitados as ausências injustificadas dos pais em momentos que jamais voltarão. Contudo, por mais que essas situações fossem comuns, o Poder Judiciário somente agora se despertou para elas. Esse novo entendimento, fruto do neoconstitucionalismo e da irradiação de suas normas sobre a família, avançou a passos largos na despatrimonialização dos laços familiares ao reconhecer que o afeto é imprescindível na concretização da dignidade da pessoa humana, rompendo com uma doutrina tradicionalista que apenas enxergava na obrigação do pai o único dever de pagar alimentos, restando desonerado de todo e qualquer dever outro com relação ao filho. O ordenamento jurídico não poderia forçar o pai a amar seu filho, mas fez o que estava ao seu alcance, reconhecendo que a maior contribuição que um pai pode ofertar ao seu filho é o afeto, a presença, o cuidado e o amparo, não somente lhe oferecendo bens que o dinheiro pode pagar, mas, sobretudo, proporcionando-lhe cuidado, que nada mais é do que o compromisso de assegurar afeto.

This concern stems from the observation that the affective aspects have been disregarded in the activities and research on higher education. However, conflicts and problems experienced by students, which often result in avoidance, are becoming more constant and has at its base, in most cases, the question of affect. The theoretical and methodological framework adopted is the historical-cultural psychology, in particular the presumptions of Vygotsky and Wallon. Data were collected through questionnaires and profile additions of sentences, with 20 students last year and 47 first-year students, and interviews with two first-year students and two students from last year, is a Psychology course of a private university in an inland city of S?o Paulo. The results provided us with an overview of what they feel, think and represent the students of psychology on the course and what it means to be a university, allowing them to explore some of the main meanings that attach to their training, the course they chose to do and psychology as a profession. Also allowed a better understanding and explanation of relational processes and the teaching-learning in higher education in general and training in psychology, in particular, especially in relation to the weight that has the affective aspects in this process and is most often , defining the success or failure of training. / Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo investigar os afetos envolvidos na adapta??o de alunos ao ensino superior e sua influ?ncia na rela??o do aluno com o curso e em seu processo de aprendizagem, ao longo do desenvolvimento de sua gradua??o.

Bredvid verket i arbete : Ramens verkan i dansens estetiska autonomi

Sandström, Frida January 2018 (has links)
The aesthetic autonomy of dance is a blank spot in the history of aesthetics. In this study, dance is used as an umbrella for both visual art performance, live art and choreography. Different from these other notions, dance appears in early historical writings and enables a coherent reading of the history of this specific artform, where the embodiment of the artwork is central.        Starting from Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgement, in which this study unravels why dance has been given such a limited attention in the history of aesthetics. Departing from this ignorance of the artform and the lack of theories of aesthetic autonomy when it comes to dance ever since, the study proposes that the aesthetic autonomy of dance could be understood through the notion of parergon. The word is initially found in the Critique of Judgement, where Kant uses parergon to describe the infrastructural framework upon which both the piece of art and the judgment relies. With the help of Jacques Derrida’s reading of the Critique of Judgement through parergon, the notion is understood with a double meaning: as both the frame ot the artwork and the work behind the piece of art. Derrida doesn’t either mention ”dance” in his rewriting of Kant’s work, why this essay applies the parergon upon the only art form where the working body embodies the work of art: dance. For dance, the work behind the piece and the piece itself, is the same. Through this understanding of parergon, the aesthetic autonomy of dance is can be understood as the frame at work.       With references from a western history of arts and aesthetics, the study works through literature on dance from the 16th century until today. This enables a timeline from the inauguration of the first royal ballet academies, to the enlightenment, through modernity up until postmodernity, is read. Such a consistent reading of the history of dance is still rare, but the main reason for the study is not to sketch a new history, but rather to, through its history, establish an understanding of the aesthetic autonomy of dance.       Through examples from philosophy, literature, art history, dance history and art criticism, the development of dance as an autonomous artwork is contextualized. Arriving at the 20th and the 21st century, three specific artworks are analysed through available documentations, writings and conversations. Through the three notions hetero-affection, immanent critique and indexical dialectics, the aesthetic autonomy of dance is written through an understanding of its dialectical negation as its positive matter; the frame (at work). This understanding is applied to the three modern and post-modern examples of dance, where the frame at work is autonomously unworked and re-worked.
