This thesis posits that the scout camp can fruitfully be studied as a technological environment, more specifically as an infrastructure of the simple life. Mainly based upon periodicals, handbooks, still and moving pictures (from the Swedish boy scouts 1910–1930, but with international outlooks) it draws upon the Foucauldian notion of the apparatus (dispositif) as well as theory on modern infrastructure. Particular attention is payed to the role of work, leisure and community building at and around the camp site.       The simplification of the camp site – socially as well as technologically – was strategic in the sense that it enabled other goals and functions on a larger, societal level. To some extent it can also be seen as a critique of a growing complexity in modern life. A shared infrastructural sensibility finally grew out of the camp life, connecting scouts on a scale that stretched from the individual to the world.

Procuramos na primeira parte definir literatura e literatura infanto-juvenil; discutimos em seguida as nuances da literatura infantil, infanto-juvenil e a pedagogia numa tentativa de esclarecimentos sobre estes assuntos polêmicos. Nosso trabalho abordou também o conceito de leitura partindo dos métodos utilizados no Brasil para o aprendizado até o conceito de texto e sua diversidade, existente nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PNCs). Em seguida analisamos literariamente o texto de Chamlian, O boy da Via Láctea e o conto de Gogol, O capote comparando-os, já que há uma intertextualidade declarada por parte da autora citada. A segunda parte compreendeu a recepção do texto e para isso utilizamos a transcrição de uma entrevista realizada com alunos de uma oitava série de uma escola pública de Assis, SP, no ano de 2000. / This research aimed at the study of the infant-juvenile book: O boy da Via Láctea , by Regina Chamlian; the writer used the intertext and was based on O capote, by the Russian writer Gogol recreating the text and adapting it to the today's world. We sought in its first part to define literature and infant-juvenile literature; and after that, we discussed the nuances of infant literature, infant-juvenile literature and the pedagogy in an attempt to explain these polemic subjects. Our work also approached the concept of literature from the learning methods in use in Brazil to the concept of text and its diversity, present in the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs). After that, we analyzed the text O boy da Via Láctea, by Chamlian and the short story, O capote, by Gogol comparing them as there is an intertextuality according to the first quoted author. The second part comprehended receiving of the text and for these purpose we used the transcription of an interview carried out with students of an eighth grade class in a public school in Assis - SP, in the year 2000.

abstract: With this document I will discuss and reflect upon the performance and art exhibition show which I presented as part of my MFA thesis at the MonOrchid Gallery in Phoenix, Arizona on February 10, 2017. The approach to my thesis comes from my perspective as a Hip Hop practitioner exploring the relationship between each artistic discipline that makes up Hip Hop. Through this lens I will show the knowledge that is built from both individual and the conventional collective understandings of Hip Hop. As a practitioner for over 20 years, Hip Hop has molded my mind to be multifaceted, giving me a strong interest in art making as a collaborative process. I believe the more you see the relationship between each medium, the more that connection manifests a larger cognizance for where these art forms can progress. The relationship between all of the mediums involved creates a rhythm; it is the understanding of rhythm that can connect all types of art. When you are able to understand the process of rhythm as a through line, you will be able to create from your own personal rhythmic qualities in all things. This paper will delve into how my thesis performance incorporated not only music production and dance, but the written form of Hip Hop culture (Writing), identity, and the fundamentals of design. I will use the discussion of these forms to explore the similarities of meaning in movement-making behind B-boying, the most fundamental aspect of visual art and in body forms within Hip Hop. My aim was to research what we (the dancers and myself) learned from the movement in conjunction with Writing. I will discuss how many ways this can be beneficial to exploring new interdisciplinary creative collaborations with 
design, visual art, choreography, sculpture, and architecture. Rhythm is the connective tissue between these disciplines in Hip Hop culture. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Dance 2017

In everyday life women are exposed to sexist language. Terms and usages that exclude or discriminate women are referred to as sexist language. This takes into account that one presumes that maleness is the standard, the norm, and that femaleness is the non-standard, or the exception. The aim of this paper was to find whether gratuitous modifiers such as girl, lady, female and woman are used more frequently than the male markings and whether girl is used to a wider extent than boy to denote an adult. The aim includes two aspects of sexist language. Firstly, the aspect of calling women girls and men men, called non-parallel treatment. Secondly, the fact that it is more common for unmarked terms to refer to males while when referring to females a marked term is needed. As primary source for the study the Time Corpus was used, which is an online corpus containing over 100 million words and ranges from 1923-2007. The conclusion of this essay was that the female sex is more commonly marked and that woman/women are the most commonly used premodifiers. Gender markings most likely apply to occupations and labels which are thought of as either typically male or female. Furthermore, it was found that girl was used to a wider extent than boy to denote an adult. In addition, the results presented a possible change of trends where girl referred to a child to a larger extent in contemporary English.

La présente thèse situe un groupe de francophones en position minoritaire et suit son ascension et son affirmation sociale et culturelle dans une arène dominée par une identité anglo-saxonne. Nous avançons que les scouts qui faisaient partie de la 41e Notre-Dame, sous le contrôle de la Boy Scouts Association of Canada depuis sa fondation en 1918, ont d'abord été pris en main par le clergé ottavien. C'est après la fondation de la Fédération des scouts de la province de Québec par le Cardinal Villeneuve que les troupes ottaviennes sont devenues, tout comme toutes les troupes scoutes du Canada français, sujettes au noyautage de l'Ordre de Jacques Cartier (OJC). Le lien intime qui s'est développé entre les membres de l'OJC et les scouts d'Ottawa est un exemple concret de « groulxisme appliqué », thème utilisé par l'historien Michel Bock.

This minor field study describes the situation for the boy-child in rural Kenya and thepossible effects that can be seen after years of focus directed mostly on the girl-child,both in school and through non-governmental organizations (NGO). This study is doneby going in to the field of rural Kenya and meeting people who can give their opinion onwhat is going on for the boy-child in Kenya. This is a qualitative study based on semistructuredinterviews with six social workers. The method of using open ended questionswill give a hint of what is going on in the day-to-day life in the social worker´s context.During the analysis of the interviews it became evident that there is a need to payattention to the boy-child. There is also a slight difference in focus depending onwhether the informant is a woman or a man. Furthermore all social workers have spokenabout the risks that the boy-child and young teenaged boys are facing. The social workersin this study express their perception that the boy-child is vulnerable. Three major areascould be recognized: vulnerable by the neglect of professionals, vulnerable by the Africanculture and vulnerable by exposure to hazards. At the end of this study there will be adiscussion around the findings and analysis of the interviews. The discussion will alsobring up the aspects of manhood, masculinity and the importance of language as a way toconstruct perceptions as well as how the general construction of gender can be a part ofwhat makes the boy-child vulnerable.

Qui sont les skinheads ? S’agit-il seulement de ces brutes stupides et violentes, xénophobes et racistes sisouvent exposées par les médias ? Qu’en est-il alors de ces premiers skinheads qui, à la fin des années 1960,affectionnaient tant la musique jamaïcaine qu’ils contribueront à sa diffusion et à son succès à travers toutel’Angleterre ? Que s’est-il passé entre ces années 1960 et les années 1980 qui verront l’apparition du phénomènenaziskin ? Il y a t-il une unité du mouvement skinhead ou seulement une juxtaposition de mouvances ?Qu’est-ce qui peut unir les skinheads entre eux, à travers les générations et au-delà de leurs divisions ?Afin d’apporter des réponses à ces questions, le présent travail présentera, dans une première partie, unhistorique du mouvement skinhead qui permettra de suivre et de comprendre son évolution depuis ses originesen faisant ressortir le rôle important que jouera la musique dans toutes ses mutations successives etdans sa dérive politique. Suivra ensuite, dans une seconde partie, une analyse des éléments constitutifs dela subculture skinhead – à commencer par sa constante référence à la classe ouvrière exhibée au travers deses formes stylistiques, son rapport à la violence symbolique ou réelle, les valeurs qu’elle prétend incarneret défendre – et ses incidences idéologiques. La dernière partie sera consacrée à un travail de terrain menéprincipalement en France qui fera apparaitre, au moyen d’entretiens et d’observations, comment se vit,s’organise et se représente ce milieu skinhead.Il s’agira donc de révéler le mouvement skinhead sous ses différents aspects mais aussi de montrer ce quepeut révéler ce mouvement de mode devenu phénomène social quant aux processus de radicalisation, demédiatisation et de diabolisation. / Who are the skinheads ? Are they just these brainless, violent, xenophobic and racist bullies, who are sooften exposed in the media ? What about the very first skinheads who, near the end of the 1960s, were sofond of Jamaican music that they contributed to its spreading and success all over England ? What happenedbetween the 1960s and the 1980s, when the nazi skinhead phenomenon appeared ? Is there only one skinheadmovement or is it made up of many trends ? What makes the skinheads a group as a unified whole, beyondits divisions ?To answer these questions, the first part of this thesis will provide a background history of the skinheadmovement so as to follow, and understand, its evolution since its origins. It will emphasise on the role playedby music on both its successive mutations and its political drift. In a second part, it will analysed the variouselements which constitute the skinhead subculture - from its constant reference to the working-class displayedthrough its stylistic forms, its link to symbolic or actual violence, and the values it claims to embody andfight for – to its ideological consequences. The last part will be dedicated to fieldwork carried out mainlyin France and which will show, thanks to interviews and observations, how the skinhead community lives,organises and sees itself.The purpose of this study is not only to reveal the skinhead movement in its various forms but also todemonstrate what this stylistic social phenomenon, can reveal in terms of radicalisation, media coverageand demonization.

Podemos contar milhares de brasileiros que estiveram, em algum momento de suas vidas, envolvidos em Grupos Escoteiros (GE) e participaram das atividades Escoteiras que seguem um desenho pedagógico baseado no desenvolvimento de "competências" e "habilidades" atingidas a partir de um programa de méritos. As atividades, em geral, são realizadas ao ar livre, e temas associados a conteúdo das Geociências envolvem o "observar" e "(re)conhecer" os processos da dinâmica terrestre. Neste estudo avaliamos o referencial documental (livros, manuais, guias, etc.) obtidos junto à União de Escoteiros do Brasil - UEB; entrevistamos membros do ME; e identificamos nos eventos Escoteiros a aplicação de atividades que envolvam conteúdos de Geociências. Das avaliações realizadas propusemos roteiros de atividades que abordam conteúdos das Geociências, e elaboramos duas Especialidades que se inserem no sistema de progressão pessoal do ME e que se focam em conteúdos específicos dessa ciência / Abstract: The Scout Movement (ME) in Brazil, in spite of its long existence and the role it has played as non-formal education movement, has no study showing how the movement has been inserted in the training of thousands of children and young people throughout decades. We can count thousands of Brazilians who were, at some point in their lives, involved in Scouts Groups (GE) and participated in the Girl Scouts activities following a pedagogical design based on the development of "skills" and "skills" hit from a program merits. The activities generally are held outdoors, and topics related to content of Geosciences involve the "watch" and "(re) know" the processes of terrestrial dynamics. We evaluated the document reference (books, manuals, guides, etc.) obtained from the Scout Union of Brazil - UEB; interviewed members of the ME; and we identify Scout events enforcement activities involving Geoscience contents. Of assessments carried out activities proposed roadmaps that address the Geosciences contents, and prepare two specialties that fall within the personal progression of ME system and that focus on specific content of this science / Mestrado / Ensino e Historia de Ciencias da Terra / Mestra em Ensino e História de Ciências da Terra

In this day and age character and citizenship are being stressed by such societies and agencies as The Boy Scouts of America, The Camp Fire Girls, The Young Men's' Christian Association and the Young Women's Christian Association. In the scouting program all activities are of a voluntary process. There is an age requirement connected with the scouting program so that a youngster can look forward to the time when he will be twelve years of age and can become a scout. In the first place it is of major importance that the applicant assume it a privilege to become a scout. In the second place, when, in the course of a short ceremony inducting him into the troop, he takes the Scout Oath and repeats the Scout Law, he is made to feel that he is not merely on the threshold of things to do but of things to be. In the third place he finds that he shares with a group a code that is not so much his duty as his privilege to guard and keep. The influencing of one's character is a complex affair. Scouting does its part in helping boys to acquire good habits of conduct.
