[pt] Pesquisou-se as práticas culturais dos estudantes dos cursos de licenciatura da UFRJ com o objetivo de verificar a hipótese de que as variáveis nas práticas culturais destes jovens estudantes universitá¡rios, analisadas segundo suas inserções na universidade por centros universitários (CFCH, CCMN, CCS e CLA), podem ser atribuídas também ao que se propôs como variáveis de convivialidades, além das variáveis explicativas tradicionais (sócio-econômicas e demográficas). O questionário, respondido por 369 estudantes dos cursos de licenciatura da UFRJ alunos do curso de Psicologia da Educação II em 2003/2, com pelo menos dois anos de vida universitária, foi construído a partir de 4 constructos: Protoculturas, Culturas de volume, Culturas de lazer e Culturas sóciodigitais. A análise, descritiva simples, seguida por análise descritiva discriminante, multivariada, em caráter exploratório, indicou que aqueles 4 constructos não chegam a discriminar as práticas culturais dos estudantes, por centro universitário, o que impediu que a hipótese fosse comprovada. Esta mesma análise indicou outras possibilidades de agrupamento das variáveis, nas quais o contato com a cultura linguí­stica (lecto-escrita) e a cultura tecno-cientí­fica (sociodigital) podem ter importante papel na comprovação da hipótese. A leitura e o contato com a música permitiram indicar alguns perfis da(s) juventude(s), por centro, porém sem dimensão conclusiva. / [en] The Cultural practices of future teachers attending Education courses at UFRJ were studied in order to verify the hypothesis that the variations of the cultural practices of these young students, analyzed according their university centers (CFCH, CCMN, CCS e CLA), can also be attributed to what is being proposed here as variable of acquaintanceship, besides the traditional (socioeconomic and demographic) explanatory variables. The questionnaire, answered by 369 students attending the Psychology of Education II course, in the year 2003, with at least two years of university experience, was designed based on 4 constructs: protocultures; culture of volume; leisure cultures; and socio-digital cultures. The simple descriptive analysis was followed by the discriminative descriptive analysis, multivariated, which at least in an exploratory basis avoided that the hypothesis should be confirmed. That analysis indicated another possibilities to group the variables where the linguistic cultures (written- reading matter) and the techno-scientific cultures (socio- digital) can play an important role to the confirmation of the hypothesis. The reading matter and the link with music were aspects that allowed develop some profiles of the several youths, by center, however without conclusive dimension.

Thesis (Ph.D. (Social Work)) -- University of Limpopo, 2018 / The scourge of substance abuse globally amongst the youth today is probably one of the most talked about risky health behaviours in history, and is increasing at an alarming rate. Socio-cultural practices contribute towards the use and abuse of substances by the youth in rural areas. The “Ke Moja” programme that dealt with youth substance abuse was rarely received in these areas. The researcher sought to study the impact of socio-cultural practices towards substance abuse amongst the youth to develop a school-based intervention programme. The researcher’s research methodology included a mixed methodological approach that is, exploratory-descriptive design. Stratified-systematic and purposive sampling methods were used to draw a sample from learners, educators, social workers and SGB members. The data collection methods employed was semi-structured interview schedule and questionnaires. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. The results reveal that alcohol and drugs serve as agents of socialisation in socio-cultural events. It was found that there are different types of traditional home-brewed beers that the youth abuse almost daily because they are cheap, easily accessible and available. The findings also reveal that socio-cultural events contribute towards substance abuse in rural areas. The study reveals that sociocultural events take place almost every weekend where the youth use substaces as agents of socialisation. The findings reveal that the need for socio-culturally appropriate substance abuse prevention programmes amongst the youth is important in rural areas. The programme is called “Hambanani” which literally means doing away with the use and abuse of substances. The researcher concludes that socio-cultural practices contribute towards the abuse of substances by the youth in rural areas. The researcher recommends that social workers implement a school-based intervention programme on the impact of socio-cultural practices towards substance abuse amongst the rural youth.

Résumé de la thèseLa thèse porte sur l‘analyse des apports de la communication dans la lutte contre des mutilations corporelles, en l‘occurrence celles de l‘excision (qui est la pratique la plus répandue) des femmes en République de Guinée. Ces pratiques de mutilations corporelles étant encore souvent présentées comme des pratiques culturelles inscrites dans la tradition et l‘identité culturelles. L‘approche «Garder le rite, pas la mutilation » fait la promotion des rites de l‘excision, de la clitoridectomie et de l‘infibulation, c'est-à-dire celle des valeurs qui sont léguées aux jeunes filles pendant la cérémonie initiatique. L‘Assemblée générale des Nations Unies a donc consacré en 2012 et 2014 deux (2) importantes résolutions à la lutte contre les mutilations génitales féminines (le 20 décembre 2012, la Résolution A/RES/67/146 et en décembre 2014, la Résolution A/RES/69/150). Pour notre part, à travers ce travail de recherche, nous n‘avons fait ni la promotion du rite, puisque de meilleures voies de transmission de la culture existent aujourd'hui, ni celle de la mutilation à cause de ses effets sur la santé de la reproduction. Nous avons essayé de comprendre, à partir des grilles d‘intelligibilité communicationnelles, comment ces pratiques peuvent évoluer et avons préconisé certaines solutions en mobilisant des approches dans le champ des Sciences de l‘information et de la communication. Il a donc été nécessaire de réformer la « communication » pour la mettre au centre des préoccupations des gouvernants en vue d‘amener les pratiquants à un changement culturel consistant à abandonner progressivement des pratiques vieilles de plusieurs milliers d‘années. / Summary of the thesis The thesis focuses on the analysis of the contribution of communication in the fight against bodily mutilations, in this case that of excision or female circumcision (which is the most widespread practice) of women in the Republic of Guinea. These practices of bodily mutilations are still often presented as cultural practices inscribed in cultural tradition and identity. The "keep the rite, not the mutilation" approach promotes the rites of excision, clitoridectomy and infibulation, the values that are bequeathed to young girls during the initiation ceremony. In 2012 and 2014, the United Nations General Assembly devoted two (2) important resolutions to the fight against female genitale mutilations (on December 20, 2012, Resolution A / RES / 67/146 and in December 2014, Resolution A / RES / 69/150). For our part, through this research work, we have neither promoted the rite, since better ways of transmitting culture exist today, nor that of mutilation because of its effects on the health of the reproduction. We have tried to understand, from the grids of communication intelligibility, how these practices can evolve and have advocated some solutions by mobilizing approaches in the field of the sciences of information and communication. It was therefore necessary to reform the "communication" to put it at the center of the concerns of the rulers with a view to bringing practitioners to a cultural change of gradually abandoning practices that are several thousand years old.

Groundnut or peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important legume cultivated in several developing countries in the tropics and subtropics. It plays a significant role as a food crop in regions with alarming population growth rates. The disease “peanut clump”, which is caused by viruses in the genus Pecluvirus, has been reported from India and from several countries of West Africa. In India, the causal agent is the Indian peanut clump virus (IPCV), which is transmitted by a soil-borne root parasite, Polymyxa graminis. The virus is also transmitted by infected seed and so far no economical method of control has been found. Therefore efforts have been concentrated on understanding the epidemiology of peanut clump disease with the aim of devising cultural methods of control. The work addressed in this thesis describes how investigation in various aspects of clump disease epidemiology, including identification of alternative hosts of the virus and the vector, and of factors that contribute to survival and spread of inoculum, has led to formulation of simple cultural practices that could reduce disease incidence.

The history of students in Ituiutaba-MG in the period that comprehends the years of 1952 to 1968, mainly those bound to student associations, it is constituted as research object of this dissertation. Such temporal delimitation comes of the year of creation of the União Estudantil de Ituiutaba student representation entity at the municipal level, which constituted a milestone for the organization of local students, and is limited until 1968, when most of these subjects were disentailing of the entity, gradually losing strength of organization and action in society. In the course of this research highlight important events relating to the actions of the student movement, on the political, cultural, social and educational scenario present in national and regional level in the 1950s and 1960s. Here is also a brief history of the municipality of Ituiutaba and its educational setting until the 1960s as a way to contextualize the horizon on which stood the principal actions of the students in Ituiutaba. This study enabled us to perform reflections about the genesis, performance and weakening of the student movement in this city, and to identify and analyze the actions of a political nature made by this. We observed much of the cultural practices experienced by students represented by unions, clubs and other student bodies of the four local high schools, revealing the common educational principles that circulated in this scenario. Furthermore, it was possible to identify the student profile reported in the press in that context. Therefore, we use as main source of research collections of five newspapers that circulated in Ituiutaba in the 1950s and 1960s. Also resorted to oral history, through semi structured interviews the four student leaders from the investigated context, and analysis of the Minutes of the City Hall of Ituiutaba, photographs of schools and students, works of memoirists and documents of secondary level schools investigated as their internal regulations and inspection reports. So we conducted a cross between discussed sources, compared to the bibliography on the theme, always relating the local context with the national. Overall, this work allows us to understand the history of these important subjects of the educational process has been marked by activities that they conformed to the then prevailing political system, especially from the military dictatorship. / A história dos estudantes em Ituiutaba-MG no período que compreende os anos de 1952 a 1968, principalmente daqueles vinculados às agremiações estudantis, constitui-se como objeto de pesquisa desta dissertação. Tal delimitação temporal parte do ano de criação da União Estudantil de Ituiutaba , organismo de representação estudantil em nível municipal, que se constituiu como marco para a organização dos discentes locais, e tem como limite o ano de 1968, quando grande parte desses sujeitos foi se desvinculando dessa entidade, perdendo gradativamente sua força de organização e atuação na sociedade. No decorrer dessa pesquisa destacamos importantes acontecimentos referentes às ações do movimento estudantil, e ao cenário político, cultural, social e educacional presentes em nível nacional e regional nas décadas de 1950 e 1960. Apresentamos ainda um breve histórico sobre o município de Ituiutaba e seu cenário educacional até os anos de 1960, como forma de contextualizarmos o horizonte em que se situaram as principais ações dos estudantes em Ituiutaba. Esse estudo nos possibilitou realizar reflexões sobre a gênese, atuação e enfraquecimento do movimento estudantil nessa cidade, bem como apontar e analisar as principais ações de caráter político realizadas por esse. Pudemos evidenciar grande parte das práticas culturais vivenciadas pelos estudantes representados pelos grêmios, clubes e demais órgãos estudantis das quatro escolas secundárias locais, revelando os princípios educativos comuns que circulavam nesse cenário. Além disso, foi possível identificar o perfil de estudante veiculado pela imprensa no referido contexto. Para tanto, utilizamos como fonte de pesquisa principal cinco coleções de jornais que circularam em Ituiutaba nos anos de 1950 e 1960. Recorremos também à história oral, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas a quatro ex-líderes estudantis do contexto investigado, além da análise de Atas da Câmara Municipal de Ituiutaba, fotografias de escolas e estudantes, obras de memorialistas e documentos das escolas de nível secundário investigadas, como seus regimentos internos e relatórios de inspeção. Assim realizamos o cruzamento entre as fontes comparadas à bibliografia sobre a temática abordada, relacionando sempre o contexto local com o nacional. De modo geral, este trabalho permitiu compreender que a história destes importantes sujeitos do processo educativo foi marcada por atividades que conformaram estes ao sistema político então vigente, principalmente a partir da ditadura militar. / Mestre em Educação

A presente tese apresenta como foco de investigação as narrativas escolares infantis. O estudo teve como objetivo a análise de práticas culturais relatadas por crianças, alunos e alunas da quarta série do Ensino Fundamental de escola pública e privada de Porto Alegre (Brasil). Examinou também o modo como tais práticas se organizam e produzem identidades nesses textos considerados como um gênero discursivo particular. O material empírico da pesquisa constituiu-se de um conjunto de duzentos e vinte e quatro textos escritos em sala de aula, a partir do qual foram identificados e selecionados para análise eixos temáticos. Esses eixos foram distribuídos em capítulos intitulados: Narrativas escolares – um gênero discursivo à parte, Mosaicos de infâncias, Histórias de famílias e Da experiência de ler outra vez os textos escolares. O aporte teórico-metodológico da pesquisa situa-se no campo dos Estudos Culturais sobre narrativas e identidades em sua articulação com as abordagens discursivas. As narrativas são entendidas em sentido particularizado, ou seja, como práticas discursivas que implicam a relação entre discursos e identidades. O trabalho foi estruturado com base nas contribuições de autores como Leonor Arfuch, Jorge Larrosa, Mikhail Bakhtin, Dominique Maingueneau, Claudia Fonseca, Dagmar Meyer, dentre outros. As análises desenvolvidas possibilitaram identificar uma diversidade de experiências socioculturais, o que demonstra a potencialidade dessas narrativas escritas, ou seja, elas geram, reproduzem, legitimam significados: marcas textuais próprias da cultura escolar, desejos, fantasias, valores, cuidados, rituais, relações de poder. Elas também apontam modos de ser menino e menina na escola, na família, entre outras instâncias sociais. / The present thesis has the focus on the research of school children's narratives. The study had the objective of analyzing cultural practices related to children and pupils from the fourth grade of Elementary Teaching of public and private schools in Porto Alegre (Brazil). It was also examined the way that such practices are organized and produce identities in these texts, considered as particular discursive genres. The empiric material of the research was constituted by a collection of two hundred and twenty texts written in the classroom that were identified and selected for the analysis of thematic focuses. Such focuses were distributed in chapters nominated as follows: School narratives – an exclusive discursive genre, Childhood mosaics, Family stories and From experience of reading another time the school texts. The methodological and theoretical support is concentrated on the Cultural Studies field about narratives and identities in a discursive approach. The narratives are extended to a particular sense, in other words, as discursive practices that imply the relation between speech and identities. The research was in accordance with the contributions of some authors, like Leonor Arfuch, Jorge Larrosa, Mikhail Bakhtin, Dominique Maingueneau, Claudia Fonseca, Dagmar Meyer, and others. As a result of the analysis developed, it was possible to identify a diversity of social and cultural experiences and, this in turn, to demonstrate the potential of such written narratives. On balance, the latter aspect generates, reproduces and legitimizes meanings: own textual features of the school culture, desires, fantasies, values, cares, rituals and power relations. This aspect also points ways of being a boy and a girl in the school, in the family, among other social instances.

En partant de la question : que consomment les Libanais en matière culturelle dans leur temps libre ? Cette thèse s'appuie sur l'idée de l'existence d'une relation entre la structure de la société et les pratiques culturelles, développée à partir de la théorie de la légitimité culturelle de Pierre Bourdieu. La structure hybride de la société, concept emprunté à Melhem Chaoul, constitue la spécificité du contexte libanais : le fait qu'il s'agisse d'un pays francophone, multiculturel et à diaspora importante, ainsi que la diffusion contemporaine des pratiques numériques amènent à s'interroger sur la définition de l'identité culturelle. Forger le concept de « degré d'adhérence culturelle » s'impose afin d'y répondre. A partir d'une enquête par questionnaire auprès de 1200 enquêtés au Liban et 120 enquêtés en France, et de 36 entretiens, l'étude montre que les jeunes, par opposition aux plus âgés, s'orientent plus vers la culture occidentale et les pratiques numériques. Les plus instruits consomment simultanément des biens culturels libanais et occidentaux. En fait, la consommation des biens culturels occidentaux est facilitée par le trilinguisme, que maîtrisent presque la moitié des Libanais. Il est apparu aussi que l'inégalité régionale de l'offre culturelle n'est pas l'homologue d'une inégalité régionale des pratiques culturelles. L'engagement religieux et la position dans le cycle de vie influencent les pratiques culturelles. / Starting from the question : what cultural matters do Lebanese people use in their free time ? This PhD thesis relies on the idea of the existence of a relationship between the structure of society and cultural practices, developed by Pierre Bourdieu in the theory of cultural legitimacy. The hybrid structure of society, a concept borrowed from Melhem Chaoul, constitutes the specificity of the Lebanese context : the existence of a francophone, multicultural and provided with a large diaspora country, as well as the contemporary diffusion of digital practices, raise questions related to the definition of cultural identity. Promoting the concept of « degree of cultural adhesion » seems necessary in order to find an answer. Based on a survey of 1,200 respondents in Lebanon, 120 respondents in France and 36 in depth interviews, the study shows that young people, as opposed to the older ones, tend most towards Western culture and digital practices. The most educated people consume both Lebanese and Western cultural goods simultaneously. As a matter of fact, the consumption of Western cultural goods is facilitated by trilingualism, which is mastered by almost half of the Lebanese. Additionally it has been shown that the regional inequality of the cultural offer is not homologous to a regional inequality of cultural practices. Religious commitment as well as the position in the life cycle impact cultural practices.

Para isso, lançou-se mão das categorias “educar” e “instruir”, importantes auxiliares na compreensão dos aprendizados realizados no espaço das práticas educativas dinamizadas por colonizadores e colonizados e reveladas nos espaços de sociabilidade da capitania de Mato Grosso, particularmente na Vila Real do Senhor Bom Jesus do Cuiabá e em Vila Bela da Santíssima de Trindade. A inclusão de um olhar mais ampliado sobre o cenário educacional nessa região de sertão e fronteira, nos anos setecentos e oitocentos, somente foi possível pela apropriação de um conjunto documental raríssimo, portador de informações ricas em dados sobre as práticas educativas culturais e de escolarização na capitania de Mato Grosso. No campo da educação formal, foi dada ênfase para as reformas, seja pela instituição de aulas régias em Cuiabá e Vila Bela, nos concursos para provimento das cadeiras, na contratação e atuação de professores régios, substitutos e particulares, nas reformas de escolas e também no deslocamento de alunos mato-grossenses para os estudos superiores em Portugal, dentre outros aspectos. Nessa medida, a instituições – as Câmaras Municipais, a Igreja, os Militares e os Homens de Ciência – foram fundamentais para se compreender o papel desses agentes no cenário colonial e sua estreita relação com o educar e instruir. O estudo chamou também a atenção para a dimensão não escolar, manifesta pela circularidade de saberes necessários para o desenvolvimento de atividades técnicas de engenharia militar e de ensino de ofícios, imprescindíveis na construção e garantia da segurança na fronteira oestina. Michel de Certeau, Roger Chartier, Norbert Elias, Carlo Ginzburg, Comenius, Sérgio Buarque de Holanda instrumentalizaram e ofereceram as lupas com as quais foi possível enxergar os lugares das práticas educativas e de escolarização dos moradores da Vila de Cuiabá e Vila Bela. Com eles, foi possível trabalhar, no campo da História Cultural, com as categorias de educação e instrução produzidas no contexto da Ilustração, e que embasaram as Reformas Pombalinas da Educação. Nessa construção, a então empiria tradicionalmente utilizada pela historiografia foi enriquecida com documentos inéditos, tendo sido analisada em estreito diálogo a produção historiográfica contemporânea que trata do território brasileiro e mato-grossense nos setecentos e primeira metade dos oitocentos. Para isso, necessário se fez ampliar as abordagens tendo por pano de fundo as relações de sociabilidade presentes no interior do território mato-grossense, tenham sido elas manifestas no âmbito escolar ou na dimensão não escolar. / Highlight the various forms of education do - school and non-systematic nature - was the object of this thesis. For this, it employed the categories " educate " and "train " , important aids in the understanding of learning achieved in the space of educational practices streamlined by colonizers and colonized and revealed in the social spaces of the captaincy of Mato Grosso , particularly in the Village real Good Jesus of the Cuiabá and Vila Bela the Holy Trinity. The inclusion of a broader look at the educational landscape in this region and the hinterland border, in years seven and eight was only possible by the appropriation of a rare set of documents, carries rich information on data on cultural and educational practices of schooling in captaincy of Mato Grosso. In the field of formal education , emphasis was given to the reforms , either by the institution of royal classes in Cuiaba and Vila Bela , the procedures used to fill the seats , the hiring and activities of royal teachers , substitutes and individuals, in schools , and reforms also displacement of Mato Grosso students for higher studies in Portugal, among other aspects . To that extent, the institutions - the municipalities, the Church, the Military and the Men of Science - were fundamental to understand the role of these agents in the colonial setting and its close relationship with educating and instructing. The study also drew attention to the non-school dimension, manifested by the circularity of knowledge necessary for the development of technical activities of military engineering and teaching crafts, essential in building and ensuring security in oestina border. Michel de Certeau , Roger Chartier, Norbert Elias , Carlo Ginsburg, Comenius, Sergio Buarque Holanda commodification and offered loupes with which it was possible to see the places of educational practices and education of the residents of the Village of Cuiabá and Vila Bela. With them, it was possible to work in the field of cultural history, with the categories of education and instruction produced in the context of the Enlightenment, and that supported the reforms of Pombal Education. In this construction, then empiricism traditionally used by historiography was supplemented with unpublished documents have been analyzed in close dialogue with contemporary historiographical production that comes from the Brazilian Mato Grosso and territory in the first half and seven of eight . For this, it was necessary to extend the approaches with the backdrop of the relations of sociability present within the territory of Mato Grosso; they have been manifest in the school or non-school dimension.
