The role of technical education in community upliftment in Zimbabwe : a historical perspective and avulationMakotose, Armitage Beverley 06 1900 (has links)
In this dissertation, research was undertaken to trace the development of technical, . education
in Zimbabwe and evaluate its role in community upliftment.
The colonial era ( 1890-1979) and the post-colonial era ( 1980-2000) were examined in this
connection. This involved, inter alia, analysing findings and recommendations of
commissions of inquiry, and provisions of national development plans. Empirical analysis of
the status and role of technical education in community upliftment was also undertaken.
Finally, on the basis of the historical data, findings and conclusions regarding the history of
technical education, as well as its role in community upliftment in Zimbabwe were made. As
a way forward, some recommendations were made which would, if implemented, enhance the
role of technical education in the individual's attainment of meaningful adulthood and
improvement of society's quality of life. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)

Images and Perceptions of Muslims and Arabs in Korean Popular Culture and SocietyJamass, Maria M 26 March 2014 (has links)
Interest in Muslim and Arab societies has been on the rise in South Korea, especially since 2001, with many books and various documentaries being published on the subject. Since 2005 there have been a number of television shows and documentaries that include Muslim, and sometimes Arab characters. This study will examine how images of Muslims and Arabs are presented in Korean popular culture through the analysis of various dramas and variety shows, as well as how these images fit into the context of Korean ethno-nationalism and the history of Islam in East Asia. In addition to this analysis this study will also be exploring how these images have been changing from negative to a more sympathetic or realistic depiction of Muslims and Arabs, as well as explore which groups are responsible for this change.

Fake News: Latinos, Representacion, Ciudadanizo y TrumpThieme, Grace 01 January 2018 (has links)
This thesis uses in-depth analysis of historical Los Angeles Times articles to trace the changing representations of the Latino community in the media. Focusing on themes of patriotism and citizenship, this thesis draws out the subtleties of syntax and semantics that silently influence public opinion. The Zoot Suit Riots and the Chicano Moratorium serve as the main historical backdrop, leading to a concluding exploration of Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric surrounding immigration and the Latino community.

Seeking Justice: Mobilizing the South Asian Community in the Face of Sexual AssaultGami, Sagarika 01 January 2018 (has links)
This thesis looks at how the rule of law fails to achieve justice for Indian-American survivors of domestic violence in a multitude of ways, corresponding to class and religious positionality, as well as documentation status, and how the Indian community mobilizes in response to these failures by creating alternative modes of justice for survivors. Historically, these alternatives have taken form as direct service organizations, providing culturally and linguistically accessible services to survivors. I contend that these are helpful on an individual level, working to interrupt cycles of violence, but not at the collective level – stopping these cycles altogether. Given the systemic nature of sexual violence, working from transformative justice principles is an ideal modality of organizing, but not feasible given the structure of Indian-American communities today. In the interim between present post-violence work and future integration of transformative justice, I argue that pre-violence educational models are the most effective way to see tangible, generational, systemic change. Modes of resistance through educational initiatives aimed towards Indian youth ages ten to eighteen against rape culture will more effectively deter the cycles of intra-community violence from occurring, specifically when oriented from sites of religious worship and/or cultural centers – spaces that create a sense of Indian identity. These educational spaces currently do not exist as an intra-community effort, so I analyze various feminist pedagogies as well as an example of this work being done within other communities to extend these praxes back to the Indian community.

[en] A SEMI COLONIAL LITERATURE? ABOUT THE PORTUGAL OF ENGLAND AND THE ENGLAND OF EÇA DE QUEROZ / [pt] UMA LITERATURA DE SEMICOLÔNIA? ACERCA DO PORTUGAL DOS INGLESES E DA INGLATERRA DE EÇA DE QUEIROZCAMILA DO VALLE FERNANDES DE MIRANDA 01 July 2004 (has links)
[pt] Procuro perceber se uma parte significativa do imaginário
descrito na literatura canônica portuguesa está marcada
pela relação de dependência estabelecida ao longo de
séculos com a Inglaterra. Tomando o procedimento da
descrição como algo que nunca é ideologicamente neutro e
tematizando também o lugar a partir de onde escrevo, indago
se as cicatrizes comumente encontradas em textos de ex-
colônias também aparecem na produção literária portuguesa.
Apesar de Portugal já ter sido apontado por estudiosos de
várias áreas como um país que fora historicamente submetido
pela Inglaterra a uma espécie de colonialismo, esta
perspectiva, em geral, não é levada em consideração nos
estudos literários. Considerando a situação de semicolônia
como uma singularidade cultural, proponho uma estratégia de
leitura para textos nela produzidos utilizando a
experiência dos estudos culturais e conceitos desse espaço
e tempo - também teóricos - chamados de pós-coloniais.
Talvez, então, outra singularidade se desdobre: a relação
de contigüidade entre as literaturas da ex-metrópole e das
ex-colônias. O recorte temporal foi feito em torno da data
do Ultimatum, 1890, por isso o estudo de caso recai sobre
Eça de Queiroz. / [en] I try to notice if the dependence relation established
along the centuries with England marks a meaning part of
the imaginary described in the Portuguese canonical
literature. Supposing that the description procedure is
something that is never ideologically neutral, and also
taking into account the place where I write from - Brazil -
, I do observe if the scars that are usually found in ex-
colonies also appear in the production of Portuguese
literature. Although Portugal has already been indicated by
studious from many areas as a country that was historically
submitted to England as a sort of colonialism, this
perspective, in general, is not considered among literature
studies. Considering the situation of semi colony as a
cultural singularity, I suggest a reading strategy for
texts pertaining to this semi colony literature making use
of the experience of cultural studies and concepts from
this time and space - either theoretical - called post-
colonials. Maybe, then, another singularity is unfolded:
the contiguity relation between the literatures of the ex-
metropolis and the excolonies ones. The temporal cutting
was made surround the date of the Ultimatum, 1890, this
is why the study remits me to Eça de Queiroz.

Previous issue date: 2011-06-17 / Coordena??o de Aperfei?oamento de Pessoal de N?vel Superior / The main objective of the present research is to reflect on the affinities between post-colonial theories - analytical perspectives directed toward the discussion of colonialism and its effects on the contemporary social fabric - and Brazilian educator, Paulo Freire‟s (1921-1997) Pedagogy of the Oppressed, written at the end of the 1960‟s. The study aims to make the argument that the present reflections on the featured work is an example of a post-colonial theoretical framework, delineating a critical modus operandi of colonialism, particularly in its cultural and epistemic dimensions, delineating a problematization of the processes of cognitive domination set, above all, by the European colonization of the Latin American continent, with the formation of the modern-world-system (WALLERSTEIN, 2007), dated from the 16TH Century forward. From this stand point, and especially supported by the contributions of Boaventura de Sousa Santos on the sociology of absence, the present work accentuates Pedagogy of the Oppressed as a set of reflections that bring the possibility of a pedagogy of absence (SANTOS, 1996), having in mind that, this book deals with, the presuppositions of an educational action, which considers the plurality of knowledge and social practices by way of the establishment of a pedagogical practice of collective construction, emancipator and dialogic that arises from the encounter to the indolent reason (SANTOS, 2009) in which the silencing of the voices of the oppressed, construct their conditions of invisibility, promoting also the absence of the social questions inherent to the processes of teaching and learning. It is with this perspective, however, that post colonialism is considered a theoretical site for the affirmation and the reinvention of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed, an obligatory reference in the construction of a prudent knowledge for a decent life (SANTOS, 2006) / A disserta??o em pauta possui como objetivo principal a reflex?o acerca das afinidades entre as teorias p?s-coloniais - perspectivas anal?ticas voltadas para a discuss?o em torno do colonialismo e de seus efeitos na tecitura social contempor?nea - e a Pedagogia do Oprimido - livro escrito pelo educador brasileiro Paulo Freire (1921-1997) durante os anos finais da d?cada de 1960. Argumentamos que as reflex?es presentes na obra em destaque, a exemplo do arcabou?o te?rico p?s-colonial, delineiam uma cr?tica ao modus operandi do colonialismo, particularmente em sua dimens?o cultural e epist?mica, delineando uma problematiza??o sobre os processos de domina??o cognitiva instaurados, sobretudo, a partir da coloniza??o europeia no continente latino-americano, quando da forma??o do sistema-mundo-moderno (WALLERSTEIN, 2007), datada do S?culo XVI em diante. Partindo-se deste princ?pio, e amparado especialmente nas contribui??es de Boaventura de Sousa Santos sobre a sociologia das aus?ncias, o presente estudo acentua a Pedagogia do Oprimido como um conjunto de reflex?es que trazem a possibilidade de uma pedagogia das aus?ncias (SANTOS, 1996), tendo em vista que, neste livro, evidenciam-se os pressupostos de uma a??o educacional que considera a pluralidade de saberes e de pr?ticas sociais por meio do estabelecimento de uma pr?tica pedag?gica de constru??o coletiva, emancipat?ria e dialogal que vai de encontro ? raz?o indolente (SANTOS, 2009). Esta raz?o, ao silenciar as vozes dos oprimidos, constr?i suas condi??es de invisibilidade, promovendo tamb?m a aus?ncia de quest?es sociais inerentes aos processos de ensino e de aprendizagem. ? no interior desta perspectiva, portanto, que se considera o p?s-colonialismo como um lugar te?rico para a afirma??o e a reinven??o da Pedagogia do Oprimido, referencial imprescind?vel ? constru??o de um conhecimento prudente para uma vida decente (SANTOS, 2006)

Espaço de vida, espaço de luta : um estudo etnográfico da Farmacinha Comunitária da Solidão em Maquiné, Rio Grande do SulErice, Adriana Samper January 2015 (has links)
A seguinte Dissertação de Mestrado é o resultado de uma etnografia em campo, dentro do Mestrado em Desenvolvimento Rural. A pesquisa centra-se no Movimento das Mulheres Camponesas (MMC) e na Farmacinha Comunitária do vale da Solidão (Maquiné, RS), espaço onde as mulheres se reúnem para elaborar remédios com plantas medicinais. Esta Farmacinha surgiu em 1991, sendo a precursora de mais de 70 experiências similares. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo analisar, sob a ótica da teoria pós-colonial e da pós-modernidade, qual é o modelo de desenvolvimento que estas mulheres propões e constroem, frente a lógica do discurso desenvolvimentista institucional. Para este fim o trabalho divide-se em três partes. A primeira analisa os diferentes discursos de desenvolvimento a respeito da mulher e do rural, para tratar na segunda parte sobre o próprio MMC e seu discurso feminista e de desenvolvimento, percebido aqui como uma forma de resistência e de revindicação da importância do 'papel da mulher' e da 'luta pela vida'. A terceira e última parte do trabalho analisa as práticas concretas e cotidianas da Farmacinha da Solidão, cujas atividades vêm sendo acompanhadas desde 2012. Se bem estas atividades referem-se em grande parte à elaboração de remédios com plantas medicinais, a perspectiva aqui adotada faz com que percebamos a Farmacinha como um lugar onde o cotidiano e o pessoal tornam-se políticos e enfrentam o modelo, que pretende-se hegemônico, de desenvolvimento. / The following Master' s thesis is the result of an ethnography in the field, within the Masters in Rural Development. The research focuses on de “Movimento das Mulheres Camponesas” (Movement of the Peasant Women, MMC), and the “Farmacinha Comunitária” from the valley of Solidão (Maquiné, RS), space where women come together to develop drugs with medicinal plants. This “Farmacinha” appeared in 1991, being the precursor of more than 7 similar experiences. This thesis aims to analyze, from the perspective of post-colonial theory and post-modernism, which is the development model that these women proposes and built, compared to the logic of the institutional development discourse. To this end, the thesis is divides into three parts. The first one analyzes the different discourses about development about women and rural, and explores in the second one the MMC itself ans its feminist and development discourse, perceived here as a form of resistance and a claim of the importance of 'women's role' and the 'struggle for life'. The third and final part analyzes the practical and everyday practices of the “Farmacinha” from Solidão, whose activities have been followed since 2012. Although these activities relate largely to the development of drugs with medicinal plants , the perspective adopted here makes we realize the “Farmacinha” as a place where the everyday and the personal become politics and face the model, which aims to be hegemonic, of development. / El siguiente trabajo es el resultado de una etnografía en campo, dentro de la Maestría en Desarrollo Rural.

History, Material Culture, and the Search for the Mythic American Dream in Angie Cruz’s Let it Rain CoffeeAlmonte, Michelle 27 March 2017 (has links)
This thesis examines the connection between Dominican history, the influence of American material culture, and the mythic American Dream as catalysts for migration. The two U.S. occupations and American propaganda through media had a great effect on the deceptive perception of an American life as an effortless method for attaining wealth. Let it Rain Coffee by Angie Cruz, will focus on the character, Esperanza Colon, and her obsession with the lavish lifestyle she views on the television show, Dallas. Material objects, as argued by Daniel Miller in his book, Stuff, work in subtle yet significant ways and determine our function, identification, and experience in society. If the ideal purpose of material culture is to presuppose our roles as individuals, one can conclude that the novel showcases the issues of a subordinate class struggling to attain the material goods that represent economic wealth while maintaining a sense of self-identification and self-agency.
