Hence fonhards, one must understand the discourses made- produced by the social institutions intellectuals responsible for these women‟s fate- destination- withein society. This study- work-has considered has viewed as relevant for this analysis events concerning a certain Brazil- a Brasil‟s type. That was absorbing new ideas arisen from the American way of life and was living in full economical political and cultural effervescence: the so-called the golden years In that model. The concept concerning religiosity was used to adapt a new configuration. New religions proposils as well on spirit practices reproduced- multiplied themselves and adquired their affirmationaffirmed. Themselves specially in the great cities peripheries, in order to minimize the existential problems that affected society, mainly poor women. Based on in these aspects, this research points out the nervous women and the confirmed ones as a constant target for a discriminatory and repressing political-social system that actuated silently within society these affirmations statement are shown up through touching reports transcribed in their life stories. In these reports, their-women affective economical and social problems jut out and made them vulnerable, to hysterical outbreaks. One must emphasize, as well, also the friendships importance and meaning constructed, build up in these poor women‟s neighborhood who as they suffer a lot on account of their social exclusion and public policies abandonment, they identify them selves and give support each other in their difficulties arisen in their day by day lives, having in the majority of their cases misery as a background / O objetivo dessa pesquisa consiste em analisar aspectos peculiares aos distúrbios mentais psicológicos e emocionais das mulheres diagnosticadas como histéricas na década de 1950, no Hospital de Alienados, na cidade do Recife. A partir daí, entender os discursos produzidos pelos intelectuais das instituições sociais responsáveis pelo destino dessas mulheres, dentro da sociedade. Esse estudo considerou como relevante para essa análise os acontecimentos de um Brasil que absorvia novas ideias oriundas do modelo americano, e vivia em plena efervescência econômica, política e cultural, os chamados Anos Dourados . Nele, o conceito de religiosidade, adotava uma nova configuração. Novas propostas religiosas e também práticas espíritas se multiplicavam e se afirmavam especialmente nas periferias das grandes cidades, para minimizar os conflitos existenciais que atingiam a sociedade, em especial, as mulheres pobres. Embasada nesses aspectos, a pesquisa aponta as mulheres nervosas e confinadas como alvo constante de um sistema político-social discriminatório e repressor que atuava silenciosamente dentro da sociedade. Tais afirmações são demonstradas através dos comoventes relatos transcritos nas suas histórias de vida, Neles, os problemas afetivos econômicos e sociais dessas mulheres se sobressaíam, e as tornavam extremamente vulneráveis aos surtos histéricos. Ressaltamos, também, a importância e o significado das amizades construídas na vizinhança dessas mulheres, que, por sofrerem com a exclusão social e o desamparo das políticas públicas, se identificavam e se apoiavam nas dificuldades surgidas no dia a dia, tendo, na maioria dos casos, a miséria como pano de fundo

The thesis analyzes how a theoretical framework and method can be formulated to make mental illness visible in photographs posted on social media. The aim is to create a basis for further research. The framework is built on time, conversation, and language. Based on Susan Sontag, Roland Barthes and W J T Mitchells thoughts, a timeline is drawn. On it, both emotions and bodies are constantly present. Jon Kabat-Zinns mindfulness method is used to give an insight into how emotions can be handled with inspiration from eastern meditation techniques. The typical “yoga image” is analyzed. It is characterized by a woman doing a yoga pose, often placed in the middle of the image surface in an exotic place. The body ideal is recognized from other fitness contexts. The material is from @kinoyoga which is run by the yoga profile Kino MacGregor. Examining photographs that communicate perfect health puts this thesis questions at the forefront. The study shows that photographs on social media are not static objects but are parts in an ongoing documentation where meaning is not given. Instead meaning keeps transforming and is contently renegotiated. When the boundaries between the physical and digital realities are blurred, it becomes difficult to distinguish the needs of the image from one’s own. The emotional experiences of shortcomings and desires can occur and start to interact. As Instagram's algorithms exploit these emotions, it becomes difficult to break the vicious circle. Instagram users are forced to abide by the app's rules. The responsibility for the ill health generated should be the owners of for-profit companies and political institutions with the power to legislate.

The diploma thesis "Media terrorism via bacteria E.coli" puts the so-called cucumber affair from Summer 2011 into wider context and aims to discover the main attributes of contemporary risks and define the way they are presented in the media. Misguiding media releases and the inability to identify the source of the bloody diarrhea outbreak in Germany caused by E.coli bacteria have collectively had a significant impact on consumer behavior and economic stability on a global level. Most people are dependent on government and expert authorities due to the fact that they cannot recognize what represents a realistic threat and what serves as a basis for media sensation. This is why this thesis studies the social constructionist theory, basic media routines and practices as well as theoretical concepts that support the production of pseudo-events. A content analysis of selected Czech dailies and weeklies was executed in order to enable a comparison of the language that has been common for all "pandemics" in the 21st century.

To reach this goal I decided to deal with the models and references of Freud. The principal results were that the models which had more weight in the development of his idea of unconscious were his clinical work with the hysterics, as well as his divergence with the conventional ideas about this affection, his contact with the hypnosis and the interlocution he established with Charcot, Breuer and Fliess. And the principal references were the agnosticism and the physicalism,in relation to what it concerns the form by which he finally distanced himself. / Esta dissertação tem por objetivo compreender o percurso de Freud em sua elaboração da noção de inconsciente, perceber de que maneira ele chega até essa noção crucial para a fundação do saber psicanalítico. Para alcançar esse objetivo decidi abordar os modelos e os referentes de Freud. Os principais achados com relação aos modelos que tiveram maior peso em sua elaboração do inconsciente foram sua clínica com as histéricas, bem como seu confronto com as idéias vigentes sobre essa afecção, seu contato com a hipnose e a interlocução que estabeleceu com Charcot, Breuer e Flies. E os principais referentes foram o agnosticismo e o fisicalismo, no que concerne à forma como ele findou se afastando deste.

Na clínica contemporânea, temos nos defrontado com novas expressões de sofrimento, nas quais o corpo ganha destaque. Entre os fenômenos recorrentes encontramos a dor crônica e as fibromialgias. Os estudos sobre esses assuntos apresentam posições distintas: uns consideram tais dores como fenômenos histéricos, outros, como uma manifestação do corpo deprimido. Pretendemos verificar as especificidades das dores crônicas, desde a possibilidade de uma manifestação histérica ou depressiva, mas avançando na hipótese de que elas possam ser manifestações do quadro melancólico. Tomaremos a teoria de Freud como principal fonte dos nossos estudos sobre a melancolia e cotejaremos também autores mais recentes que tratam do fenômeno da dor, particularmente os da psicossomática psicanalítica. Os pacientes que nos mobilizaram a empreender tais estudos foram aqueles que apresentavam traços curiosos: pouca fluidez pulsional, desânimo, dores em vários pontos do corpo, sintomas psicossomáticos, ansiedade bastante expressiva e, geralmente, marcados por uma falta de sentido, conotando, de um lado, traços melancólicos e, de outro, sintomas somáticos. Na melancolia, trata-se de uma perda na vida pulsional enquanto que no sofrimento decorrente de um luto normal, isso não acontece; a libido se desprende do objeto, devido a uma posição ocupada por esse objeto perdido, em que havia um duplo trabalho a ele dirigido, de amor e ódio, portanto passível de ser elaborado, no nível consciente. Nesse mesmo texto, ele mostra que no luto patológico, o objeto perdido mantém-se investido, libidinalmente, tendo como consequência um apego a ele, sem que ele possa ser elaborado, causando, portanto, uma sombra do objeto sobre o próprio ego do sujeito. Isso significa que há um hiper investimento narcísico no objeto, no qual o sujeito se fixa colando nele. Num mundo voltado para o individualismo, para o narcisismo e sem ideais é provável que se estimule mais esse encapsulamento, impedindo o sujeito de se vincular. Na clínica contemporânea os sintomas são mais dessa natureza: são primários, de caráter narcísico, no qual o sujeito se vê encapsulado num mundo vazio e sem significação. Nesse contexto, pensamos ser mais propício falar de sujeitos melancólicos, distinto dos deprimidos, pois estes fazem uma retirada do investimento libidinal, mas mantém uma relação com objeto.

Among the recurring phenomena found chronic pain and fibromialgia. Studies on these subjects feature distinct positions: some consider such pain as hysterical phenomena, others as a manifestation of the body down. We intend to verify the specifics of chronic pain, since the possibility of a hysterical demonstration or depressed, but advancing the hypothesis that they may be manifestations of melancholic framework. Take the theory of Freud as the main source of our studies on the melancholy and cotejaremos also latest authors dealing with the phenomenon of pain, particularly the psychoanalytic literature. Patients who mobilized us to undertake such studies were those that were curious traits: low fluidity pulsional, dismay, pain in various parts of the body, psychosomatic symptoms, anxiety quite expressive and usually marked by a lack of sense, connoting, on the other hand, melancholic traits and somatic symptoms. In melancholy, a loss in pulsional life while suffering from a normal grief, that doesn't happen; libido peels back the object, due to a position occupied by this lost object, in which there was a double job to him directed, of love and hate, so liable to be drafted in the conscious level. In this same text, it shows that in the pathological mourning, the missing object remains invested, libidinalmente, resulting in an attachment to him, without it can be elaborated, causing therefore a shadow of the object about the subject's ego itself. That means there's a hyper narcissistic investment in object, in which the subject is fixed by pasting it. In a world facing individualism, for narcissism and without ideals is likely to stimulate more this encapsulation, preventing the subject from link. In contemporary clinical symptoms are more of this nature: are primary, narcissistic character, in which the subject finds himself wrapped in a world empty and without meaning. In this context, we think it's more conducive to speak of melancholy subjects, distinct from the depressed, because these make a libidinal investment withdrawal, but maintains a relationship with object. / Na clínica contemporânea, temos nos defrontado com novas expressões de sofrimento, nas quais o corpo ganha destaque.

This paper considers the role of the human body in Octavia E. Butler’s The Parable of theSower and the way it interacts with defined space to stage expressive forms of politicalopposition. Understanding the relationship between physical or metaphorical space and thecontradictions of the societies they encompass is crucial to deciphering Butler’s near-futuredystopia; a world where the problems of real-life Los Angeles and Southern California aredistorted into a gross carnivalesque of gender stereotypes, sociopolitical tensions, and vigilante warfare. This paper places a special emphasis on the areas of social and political stagnation found in Butler’s vision of near-future L.A., and analyses the dangers of clinging to archaic, patriarchal systems that no longer resonate with contemporary audiences. Focus is also placed on potential methods of resistance against oppressive social institutions, particularly exploring the limitations met by protagonist, Lauren Oya Olamina, in her attempts to voice concerns in a society where language is so nuanced by “traditional” gendered qualities that the female voice carries no political value. This papers also questions theories which promote violent confrontation as a means to social reform, disregarding collateral damage and victims of war in favour of insurgency. By exploring the movement of the human body away from defined space, this paper supports Butler’s notion of alternative prosocial action which celebrates the margins of society, positing a nurturing, constructive means to resist political opposition.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In 1964, Muncie Central High School got the “death penalty” at the hands of the Indiana High School Athletic Association’s (IHSAA) new commissioner, Phil N. Eskew, after post-game brawling at a boys basketball game led to a broader investigation of the entire program. In the closing moments of the game, a Muncie Central opponent was bloodied by an inbound pass to the face and fans erupted in violence, swarming the floor. The ensuing investigation revealed racial tensions, issues of sexual mores, political discord, and deep problems in the web of interrelationships that make up the phenomenon of Hoosier Hysteria. After a closed-door hearing and two days of deliberations, Eskew and the IHSAA Board of Control announced their decision, and the punishment prescribed made front page headlines across the state and beyond.
