Pesquisa do Estado do RJ - FAPERJ / The purpose of this research is to understand the representations of homossexuality from both the speechs of the legal actors that are actives on the adoption?s processes, mainly menbers of the thechnical crew from the Childhood, Youth and Elderly Court and the coordinators of the Adoption?s support groups, as homossexual couples that has adopted a child or are in the process to do such thing. I have identified two main strategies in the way that homossexuality is approached in this context: The ?invisibilization? of the peculiarities of the adoption by homossexual couples, as if the simple approval of the adoption by homossexual by the judiciary resolved all the conflicts in this theme, or, as if recognize the specificties of this family configuration would always mean a prejudice. On the other side, there is what I call the ?idealization? of homossexuality, especially on the interviews, as if homossexuality represented by itself an advantage in terms of the personal maturation of the candidate. It seems here the same operation, altough in a contrary way, of the logics that disqualifies the person solely because of his homossexuality. Yet homossexuality is suggested from the logic of stigma, even as a reaction to it, since, in a positive or a negative way, sexual orientation continues sticking out the others person?s predicates as a distinctive mark / O objetivo da presente pesquisa ? entender as representa??es da homossexualidade a partir tanto dos discursos dos atores jur?dicos presentes no processo de ado??o, notavelmente membros de equipes t?cnicas das Varas de Inf?ncia, da Juventude e do Idoso e coordenadores de Grupos de Apoio ?

Identifiquei duas estrat?gias principais na forma de lidar com a homossexualidade: a ?invisibiliza??o? das peculiaridades da ado??o por casais homossexuais, como se a simples positiva??o da quest?o pelo Judici?rio resolvesse os conflitos que cercam a quest?o, ou como se reconhecer as especificidades dessa configura??o familiar fosse j? discriminar e, por outro lado, uma ?idealiza??o? da homossexualidade, especialmente nas entrevistas, como se a homossexualidade por si s? representasse uma esp?cie de vantagem em termos de amadurecimento pessoal do candidato.

My artwork represents my admiration and criticisms of car culture I have gathered throughout my personal experiences beginning at a very early age. The work exists in the form of drawings, paintings, prints, collage and sculpture. This work is created through the elements of personal narrative, desires, obsessions, and questions surrounding car culture and its influences. My intention to refurbish the icons of this culture has involved creating work that is both obsessive and critical for personal exploration and understanding of past memories.

Background - Welcome to the 2010’s and its visual information culture informing about the century-old ideal of thinness, by sending (almost) exclusively thin bodies down the runway of Paris Fashion Week (PFW). This, while at the same time the academia and mass media are repeatedly articulating the necessity of a more ethical aesthetic within the fashion industry, while the argument that “thinness sells” lack empirical support, while measures are taken around Europe to discourage media bias and encourage healthy bodies walking the, and while the body positivity movement – applauding the diversity of body types – is on the rise in the Western society. Problem - How can it be explained that PFW, as an event organized to communicate the latest trends, and as an institution of a concept that thrives on change, is being stuck in an inertia of thin models? The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the explanations for the idealization of thin bodies in regard to female runway models, to be found in visual representations of PFW. Examining the paradox of the idealization of thin bodies has the potential to reveal the measures necessary to establish practices of ethical representation in the realm of PFW. Method - The search for explanations to the inertia of the thin ideal on the runways of PFW is based upon a qualitative research design and a method of semi-structured interviews. The sample consisted of fourteen people involved in the event of PFW. It is framed within three theoretical perspectives: the trickle-down, trickle-across and trickle-up theories – associated with authors such as Simmel (1957), King (1963) and Blumer (1969a; 1969b); a theoretical view of the relation between fashion, clothes and the body provided by Barnard (2014) and, lastly, the Organizational Ecology Theory presented by Hannan and Freeman (1977; 1989). Findings - The findings suggest that the inertia of the thin ideal on the runways of PFW is explained by the thin body not only being part of a long history and tradition of creating and showing fashion, but also being dressed in aesthetic value. At the same time, the explanations to the idealization, or inertia, of thin bodies on PFW are found to be multiple as well as paradoxical, a conclusion serving as an explanation in itself. Conclusion – It is difficult to point out the explanation to the inertia of the thin ideal – both in terms of factors and actors – not at least due to the explanations stemming from both social and cultural as well as economic aspects of fashion. As a consequence, every actor part the fashion industry need to understand the effects as well as the extent of idealization of thin bodies, and start to realize that public health is more important than profits.

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the importance of the mother figure for the definition of the female identity in three novels by the Belgian writer and psychoanalyst Jacqueline Harpman: La fille démantelée, La plage d’Ostende and Orlanda. This perspective is largely motivated by the specific character of the mother-daughter relation which is crucial to the formation of female identity. Freud already argued that it was impossible to understand the female identity without considering a woman’s preœdipal fixation to her mother. The analysis of the three novels is based on the concept of what Kristeva terms primary narcissism, which represents a delicate stage in the relationship between mother and child. In different ways, the analyzed novels are permeated by an oscillation between identification and differentiation. On a thematic level, the female protagonist’s desire to distance herself from the mother is always countered by an awareness of an intimate bond with her, and, paradoxically, it may seem, that the differentiation from the mother opens the way for a happy reunion between mother and daughter, now two individuals who no longer form a symbiotic unit. In this process of individuation described in the novels, a third instance which Freud called father of individual prehistory is crucial. Even though, at first sight, love appears to be the most important theme in the works of Harpman, this thesis argues that the theme of love is intimately linked to that of the mother figure and that it is necessary to read the works of Harpman through the spectrum of the mother-daughter relation in order to achieve a deeper understanding. Such a reading reveals among other things the key role of the inner dynamics of love. Love is not only the main theme of the work of Harpman, it’s also the meeting place of the two “love cures” of Harpman: literature and psychoanalysis, both situated in the field between narcissism and idealization, mechanisms that are inherent to what Freud called the subject’s eternal rebirth. The way in which writing functions as a way for the Harpman female protagonist to become a subject corresponds to Kristeva's idea of the entering into language, or into the symbolic system as Lacan put it, as a way to ward off the emptiness of the abjection. The symbolic system gives the subject a sense of being an individual with clear boundaries in a structured and intelligible world.

Cette étude de philosophie sociale vise à comprendre la spécificité du capitalisme en tant que forme historique d’organisation sociale et de transformation du monde. Elle propose une réflexion descriptive et normative sur la pratique sociale capitaliste, afin de mieux cerner la complexité, la diversité et la plasticité de la dynamique capitaliste. Nous avons choisi de partir de la façon dont Marx conçoit la logique du capital sous l’angle de l’abstraction réelle, ce qui nous permet de saisir la pratique capitaliste selon les termes d’une normativité abstraite, d’un « devoir-être » qui pose comme fin « suprasensible » l’idéalisation d’une survaleur infinie. Marx fournit de précieuses ressources théoriques non seulement pour comprendre l’abstraction capitaliste, mais aussi pour déterminer les formes selon lesquelles celle-ci intervient et restructure la réalité concrète à travers l’action des capitalistes, en rendant explicites les tensions liées à une telle restructuration de l’existant selon des postulats abstraits. À travers la confrontation de la conceptualisation marxienne avec des courants plus contemporains d’interprétation de la dynamique capitaliste, comme les analyses macroéconomiques et institutionnalistes de la Théorie de la Régulation et les travaux psycho-sociologiques portant sur l’organisation néomanagériale du travail et de la consommation, nous montrons que la théorisation de la pratique capitaliste doit rendre compte de la diversité et de la plasticité de la trajectoire du capitalisme, ainsi que de la manière dont celui-ci réussit à se reproduire, même parmi tant de crises et d’obstacles, au moins jusqu'à présent. C’est pourquoi nous proposons une esquisse de modèle de pratique capitaliste qui, s’inspirant de certains aspects de la philosophie pratique kantienne (notamment le concept d’imagination), tente de forger un concept d’imagination capitaliste, lequel permet de comprendre l’ouverture constante à de nouveaux modes de réalisation des idéalisations capitalistes. Cette conception de la pratique capitaliste nous conduit finalement à repenser sur de bases plus créatives et imaginatives la critique immanente du capitalisme. / This work on social philosophy aims at understanding the specificity of capitalism as a historical form of social organization and transformation of the world. It presents a descriptive and normative reflection on the capitalist social practice in order to better understand the complexity, diversity and plasticity of capitalist dynamics. Our starting point is Marx’s understanding of the logic of capital as a real abstraction. This enables us to grasp the capitalist practice by way of an abstract normativity, a “duty” which sets the idealisation of an infinite surplus value as a “suprasensible” end. Marx provides valuable theoretical resources not only to understand capitalist abstraction, but also to determine the form in which it operates and restructures concrete reality through the action of capitalists. It does so by making explicit the tensions related to such restructuring. Moreover, we contrast the Marxist conceptualization with more contemporary currents of interpretation of capitalist dynamics such as the macroeconomic and the institutionalist analyses of Regulation Theory and psycho-sociological studies on the neomanagement organization of labor and consumption. In this way, we show that the theory of capitalist practice must not only reflect the diversity and plasticity of the trajectory of capitalism but also reveal how it manages to reproduce itself (at least so far) even among so many crises and obstacles. That is why we propose an outline of a model of capitalist practice inspired by certain aspects of Kantian practical philosophy (especially the concept of imagination). With this model we intend to create a concept of capitalist imagination, which helps to understand the constant openness to new embodiments of capitalist idealizations. This conception of capitalist practice finally leads us to rethink the immanent critique of capitalism on a more creative and imaginative basis.

Klimatfrågan är ett ständigt aktuellt ämne i dagens samhälle och det tycks finnas en stor medvetenhet hos de flesta människor om att det krävs akuta insatser och stora livsstilsförändringar, om vi ska ha möjlighet att minska vår klimatpåverkan. Trots att klimatförändringarna lämnar få oberörda och många individer uppger sig dessutom vara både insatta och engagerade i klimatfrågan, så omsätts engagemanget inte alltid till handling. Denna miljösociologiska kvantitativa studie avser undersöka om olika typer av klimatbudskap har en inverkan på individens attityd gentemot klimatförändringar vid exponeringstillfället. Studien undersöker också huruvida det finns skillnader i individens socio-ekonomiska bakgrund som inverkar på deras självskattade klimatengagemang. I studien deltog 140 respondenter med varierande bakgrundsvariabler (ålder, kön, boendeort, utbildningsnivå och inkomst). Respondenterna som delades upp i två experimentgrupper och en kontrollgrupp, fick besvara en digital enkät med en kvasi-experimentell design.                                                                                                     Resultatet visade att de olika kommunikativa angreppssätten att förmedla frågor kring klimatet på, inte hade en inverkan på respondenternas attityd gentemot klimatförändringar vid exponeringstillfället. Det fanns inte heller en signifikant skillnad avseende respondenternas klimatengagemang mellan bakgrundsvariablerna boendeort och utbildningsnivå. Däremot visade resultatet en signifikant skillnad mellan män och kvinnor gällande skattat klimatengagemang, något som ligger i linje med tidigare forskning. / Climate change is a constantly debated issue in our society today, and most people seem to have a sense of awareness that we need to act urgently and make major changes in our lifestyle in order to decrease our impact on the climate. Despite the fact that climate change leaves few untouched and many individuals also claim to be both well informed and engaged in the climate issue, the commitment is not always put into action. This environmental sociological quantitative study intends to investigate whether different types of climate messages have an impact on the individual's attitude towards climate change at the time of exposure. The study also examines whether there are differences in the individual's socio-economic background that affect their self-rated climate commitment. In the study 140 respondents with varying background variables participated (age, sex, level of education, place of residence and income). Respondents who were divided into two experimental groups and one control group were asked to answer a digital survey with a quasi-experimental design.                                                                                                                The result showed that the different communicative approaches to conveying issues around the climate did not have an impact on the respondents' attitude towards climate change at the time of exposure. There was also no significant difference with respect to the respondents' climate commitment between the background variables residential area and level of education. However, the result showed a significant difference between men and women regarding estimated climate engagement, which is in line with previous research.

É reconhecida a importância da língua no processo de construção da obra literária, mas, na prática, a língua tem recebido um tratamento relativamente pequeno, justamente em uma área em que tem papel essencial. As Minas de Prata, obra publicada em meados do século XIX, no contexto da independência política do Brasil, como parte de um projeto cultural e político, revela esforços do seu autor para construir um herói que represente valores ideais para a comunidade brasileira nascente. A idealização diz respeito ao uso de certas escolhas linguísticas culturalmente contextualizadas, mostrando certos fatos ao mesmo tempo em que se ocultam outros, como forma de orientar a construção de sentido por parte dos leitores; será examinada linguisticamente em termos da Avaliatividade, um sistema que trata do posicionamento do escritor em relação à mensagem e ao interlocutor, em termos de: Afeto, Julgamento ético de pessoas e Apreciação estética de objetos, proposto pela Gramática Sistêmico- Funcional (GSF). Essa teoria permite fazer a relação entre a microestrutura linguística do texto alencariano com a macroestrutura do discurso, em que se encontra a idealização, e assim o faz apoiando-se nos três significados simultâneos construídos pela linguagem: a informação, a interação e a construção do texto. A GSF inclui em seu bojo a Linguística Crítica, para a qual, qualquer aspecto da estrutura linguística carrega significação ideológica. A pesquisa responde às seguintes perguntas: (a) Como se realiza a idealização do herói em As Minas de Prata? (b) Que escolhas léxicogramaticais são feitas, em termos das Metafunções Ideacional e Interpessoal para expressar essa idealização? Os resultados mostram a realização da idealização pela construção, por meio de escolhas léxico-gramaticais, de um herói que personifica valores ideais: amor, religiosidade e fidalguia de caráter; e pela proposição desses valores à comunidade, por meio do vínculo que se estabelece entre ela e o herói

As advantageous and practical as this process is, there is a great incidence of disappointment amongst some people, and also of unrestrained conduct on the Internet. My interest in studying these aspects stemmed from the fact that many people are disappointed by relationships that begin virtually because they idealize the other person in the relationship. Furthermore, some Internet users seem not to distinguish fact from fantasy, as they behave without perceiving the possible risks they are exposed to. Hence, the hypothesis of this study was to reflect on the possibilities offered by the Internet that enable idealization and acting out, in some cases. Through examples of relationships that put these facts into context, I have identified that the Internet favors the emergence of transference, as anonymity suspends alterity and allows the individual to say whatever they want in an artificial atmosphere similar to that in the analytical setting. In the process of investigation I discovered that many people, through their incapacity for symbolic contention, show their drive to be manifested in reality, operating indiscriminately with the contribution of the virtual other who offers themselves to be experienced as an object of the transference. Likewise, as in the virtual space there is an overlaying of real and virtual, borderline individuals, in not discriminating between fact and fantasy, shall move about these two spaces without conflict, illustrating that for them there is no difference between what they experience online and offline. Therefore, the Internet, in being virtual, blends with this form of subjectivity and can be experienced in conciliation with each person's emotional experience. The virtual has a seductive nature in presenting an infinite range of possibilities, so favoring both idealization of partners and acting out / Entre tantas vantagens, a Internet possibilita uma nova maneira de os indivíduos buscarem parceiros para relacionamentos afetivos. Embora, esse recente processo seja vantajoso e prático, ocorre uma grande incidência de desapontamento entre algumas pessoas, e mesmo de comportamentos desmesurados dos indivíduos na rede. Meu interesse em estudar esses aspectos partiu da constatação de que muitas pessoas se decepcionam nos relacionamentos iniciados virtualmente porque idealizam o outro da relação. Além disso, alguns internautas parecem não distinguir fantasia e realidade, pois se comportam sem a percepção dos possíveis riscos a que ficam expostos. Sendo assim, a hipótese do presente trabalho foi refletir sobre as possibilidades oferecidas pela Internet que facilitam a idealização e a atuação em alguns casos. Por meio de exemplos de relacionamentos que contextualizam esses fatos constatei que a Internet favorece a emergência do fenômeno da transferência, pois o anonimato deixa a alteridade suspensa, e possibilita ao indivíduo dizer tudo o que desejar numa atmosfera artificial semelhante ao que ocorre no setting analítico. No conduto da investigação constatei que muitos, pela incapacidade de contenção simbólica, mostram que a excitação pulsional manifesta-se com intensidade no real, atuando de forma indiscriminada com a contribuição do outro virtual que se oferece para ser vivido como objeto da transferência. Da mesma forma, já que no espaço virtual há uma superposição entre real e virtual, os indivíduos que têm as barreiras do eu mal definidas bordeline , por indiscriminarem fantasia e realidade, transitarão nesses dois espaços sem conflitos evidenciando que para esses não há diferença do que se vive online e offline. Portanto, a Internet, por ser virtual, se harmoniza com essa forma de subjetividade, e pode ser vivida em conciliação com a experiência emocional de cada um. O espaço virtual tem um caráter sedutor por apresentar uma infinidade de possibilidades favorecendo, assim, tanto a idealização dos parceiros quanto a atuação

Previous research indicates a high rate of long distance relationships, especially among young adults. Yet, research in this area is lacking, particularly regarding the role of video chatting. Through the lens of the media richness theory and the hyperpersonal model, this qualitative study explores how video chatting impacts idealization and disillusionment in young adults’ long distance dating relationships. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with both partners of six heterosexual couples. Data was analyzed using the constant comparative approach and following the basic framework of open, axial, and selective coding used in grounded theory research. Results indicate that video chatting helps partners feel close to one another, though partners must still manage the differences between feeling close and actually being close. Couples use idealization and uncertainty management to reduce disillusionment, and couples who anticipate changes manage those changes more successfully. These findings suggest that video chatting mimics in-person communication more accurately than any other technology, though it cannot replace true geographic proximity. Nonetheless, video chatting appears to help minimize disillusionment by promoting healthy idealization for couples who use it throughout their long distance dating relationship.

Les entreprises aéronautiques ont un besoin continu de générer de grands et complexes modèles de simulation, en particulier pour simuler le comportement structurel de sous-systèmes de leurs produits. Actuellement, le pré-traitement des modèles de Conception Assistée par Ordinateur (CAO) issus des maquettes numériques de ces sous-systèmes en Modèles Eléments Finis (MEF), est une tâche qui demande de longues heures de travail de la part des ingénieurs de simulation, surtout lorsque des idéalisations géométriques sont nécessaires. L'objectif de ce travail de thèse consiste à définir les principes et les opérateurs constituant la chaîne numérique qui permettra, à partir de maquettes numériques complexes, de produire des géométries directement utilisables pour la génération de maillages éléments finis d'une simulation mécanique. A partir d'une maquette numérique enrichie d'information sur les interfaces géométriques entre composants et d'information sur les propriétés fonctionnelles de l'assemblage, l'approche proposée dans ce manuscrit est d'ajouter un niveau supplémentaire d'enrichissement en fournissant une représentation structurelle de haut niveau de la forme des composants CAO. Le principe de cet enrichissement est d'extraire un graphe de construction de modèles CAO B-Rep de sorte que les processus de génération de forme correspondants fournissent des primitives volumiques directement adaptées à un processus d'idéalisation. Ces primitives constituent la base d'une analyse morphologique qui identifie dans les formes des composants à la fois des sous-domaines candidats à l'idéalisation mais également les interfaces géométriques qui leurs sont associées. Ainsi, les modèles de composants et leurs représentations géométriques sont structurés. Ils sont intégrés dans la maquette numérique enrichie qui est ainsi contextualisée pour la simulation par EF. De cette maquette numérique enrichie, les objectifs de simulation peuvent être utilisés pour spécifier les opérateurs géométriques adaptant les composants et leurs interfaces lors de processus automatiques de préparation d'assemblages. Ainsi, un nouveau procédé d'idéalisation de composant unitaire est proposé. Il bénéficie de l'analyse morphologique faite sur le composant lui fournissant une décomposition en sous-domaines idéalisables et en interfaces. Cette décomposition est utilisée pour générer les modèles idéalisés de ces sous-domaines et les connecter à partir de l'analyse de leurs interfaces, ce qui conduit à l'idéalisation complète du composant. Enfin, le processus d'idéalisation est étendu au niveau de l'assemblage et évolue vers une méthodologie de pré-traitement automatique de maquettes numériques. Cette méthodologie vise à exploiter l'information fonctionnelle de l'assemblage et les informations morphologiques des composants afin de transformer à la fois des groupes de composants associés à une même fonction ainsi que de traiter les transformations d'idéalisation de l'assemblage. Pour démontrer la validité de la méthodologie, des opérateurs géométriques sont développés et testés sur des cas d'application industriels. / Aeronautical companies face a significant increase in complexity and size of simulation models especially at the level of assemblies, sub-systems of their complex products. Pre-processing of Computer Aided Design (CAD) models derived from the digital representation of sub-systems, i.e., Digital Mock-Ups (DMUs), into Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) models requires usually many tedious manual tasks of model preparation and shape transformations, in particular when idealizations of components or assemblies have to be produced. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to make a contribution to the robust automation of the time-consuming sequences of assembly preparation processes. Starting from an enriched DMU with geometrical interfaces between components and functional properties, the proposed approach takes DMU enrichment to the next level by structuring components' shapes. This approach extracts a construction graph from B-Rep CAD models so that the corresponding generative processes provide meaningful volume primitives for idealization application. These primitives form the basis of a morphological analysis which identifies the sub-domains for idealization in the components' shapes and their associated geometric interfaces. Subsequently, models of components as well as their geometric representation get structured in an enriched DMU which is contextualized for FEA application. Based on this enriched DMU, simulation objectives can be used to specify geometric operators that can be robustly applied to automate components and interfaces shape transformations during an assembly preparation process. A new idealization process of standalone components is proposed while benefiting from the decomposition into sub-domains and their geometric interfaces provided by the morphological analysis of the component. Interfaces between sub-domains are evaluated to robustly process the connections between the idealized sub-domains leading to the complete idealization of the component. Finally, the scope of the idealization process is extended to shape transformations at the assembly level and evolves toward a methodology of assembly pre-processing. This methodology aims at exploiting the functional information of the assembly and interfaces between components to perform transformations of groups of components and assembly idealizations. In order to prove the applicability of the proposed methodology, corresponding operators are developed and successfully tested on industrial use-cases.
