It is important to reach such universe for it s the first step to the effort of elaborating public policies towards this segment, as well as thinking of strategies to include them into society in a warm manner. Thus, a brief study on the history of childhood from its conception since Feudal Ages until Contemporary times was carried out, outlining whatsoever the aspects of childhood in Brazil and in the city of Goiânia. The methodology was based upon the social-historic approach as proposed by Vigotski, developing a documental research followed by an empirical research. The first utilized the scholar applications of 203 children from a nongovernmental institution (Sociadade Cidadão 2000). The empirical part consisted of the evaluation of 81 questionnaires and the interview of 12 children (of both genders), picked from the ones who answered the questionnaires. The questionnaires were intended to allow a better comprehension of the routine and lifestyle of the surveyed children, while the interviews provided in depth information based on the questionnaire answers, allowing for a new direction on the constitution of these children subjectivity - as it was noticed that childhood playing and household duties are central in their socializing process. The surveyed children presented diverse family patterns, where grandparents are present and important figures in their lives, whereas the mothers are the most referred to concerning child education. These children associate positive feelings concerning their family, cooperate on household duties and have child playing as part of their routine. Most of these children report suffering some kind of violence, but define being a child as being able to play and have fun. By child playing they socialize with their pairs, learn rules and deal with limits previously established by the society they belong to in a playful, and yet serious, manner. The household duties are also part of their socializing process, however gender issues play an early role in this matter. / Esta pesquisa trata do processo de socialização de crianças pertencentes às camadas populares, tendo em vista que alcançar esse universo faz-se importante, porque é o primeiro passo para que haja esforços no sentido de elaborar políticas públicas direcionadas a esse segmento, assim como planejar estratégias para sua inclusão na sociedade de uma maneira acolhedora. Para tanto, fez-se um breve estudo sobre a infância, desde a Idade Média até a contemporaneidade, focando-se aspectos ligados à infância no Brasil, e posteriormente, no município de Goiânia. A metodologia fundamentou-se na abordagem sócio-histórica proposta por Vigotski, mediante uma pesquisa documental, seguida de pesquisa empírica. Com a pesquisa documental realizou-se um estudo histórico do município de Goiânia, bem como coletaram-se informações das fichas de cadastro de 203 crianças matriculadas em uma instituição não-governamental (Sociedade Cidadão 2000). A pesquisa empírica baseou-se na aplicação de 81 questionários e na entrevista com 12 crianças de ambos os sexos, escolhidas a partir da aplicação dos questionários, com o objetivo de compreender melhor o modo de vida e o cotidiano dessas crianças. Com as entrevistas, aprofundaram-se as informações obtidas a partir dos questionários, para um novo direcionamento para a constituição da subjetividade das crianças, diante da constatação de que, no seu processo de socialização, as brincadeiras e os serviços domésticos são centrais. A partir disso, apresentou-se um desenho familiar bastante diversificado, em que os avós são figuras presentes e importantes na vida das crianças e as mães são as mais citadas com referência à sua educação. Trata-se de crianças que associam sentimentos positivos em relação à família, colaboram nos serviços domésticos da casa e a brincadeira faz parte do seu cotidiano. Boa parte dessas crianças diz ter sofrido algum tipo de violência, e para elas, ser criança é poder brincar e ter diversão. Por meio das brincadeiras, as crianças pesquisadas socializam-se com seus pares, aprendem regras e lidam com limites que são previamente estabelecidos pela sociedade a que pertencem, de forma lúdica e ao mesmo tempo séria. O serviço doméstico também entra nesse processo de socialização, mediante realização das atividades da casa, tendo em vista que desde cedo questões de diferenças de gênero aparecem nessa distribuição.

Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso e de caráter qualitativo, com ex-alunos, beneficiários do Programa de Bolsas de estudo do Colégio Metodista Americano, onde procurei avaliar a relação existente entre a oportunidade da Bolsa de estudo e o ingresso em um campo de possibilidades que viabilize o processo de emancipação desses sujeitos. Para isto foram consideradas diversas condições do campo social, econômico e cultural, do grupo familiar no período em que esses jovens receberam a oportunidade, traçando-se paralelos com as condições em que hoje se encontram. Além disto, foram avaliadas questões pertinentes ao desenvolvimento desses sujeitos, procurando enfocar, em especial, a formação e o reconhecimento de suas identidades individuais e de grupo, criando-se assim as c / Trough this study, I wish to discuss the process of the emancipation of young people coming from lower social schedules, from the perspective of “The Social Theory of Recognition”, from Axel Honneth. In this sense, it was done a exploratory research, on a case study way and with qualitative characteristics, with ex-students who were beneficiated from the Program of Scholarship from School Methodist Americano, were I looked for evaluating the existing relation between the opportunity of having the Free Studying and the entering in a field of possibilities that turns it possible that this students have their emancipation. In order to realize that, several social field conditions were considered, as well as the economic and cultural basis of the familiar group in the period that this young people received the opportunity, comparing it to the condition they find them self today. Besides, questions related to the development of this people were evaluated, searching to focus, specially, the formation and the reco

It is also intended to analyze the contribution of Marx s social theory for the profession and its subsequent materialization in daily life of professional work. It is a study of qualitative approach, including a literature review and a field research, through semistructured interviews with three social workers one of the healthcare area, another a teaching and a third of the Judiciary in the city of Uberaba, MG, in the year 2012. This work was justified by questioning the forms of appropriation of the Marx s social theory by social workers and the forms of objectification of the ethical-political professional project in daily professional work. It was noted that there is a degree of ownership of Marx s social theory by social workers, as well as obstacles in the process of vocational training that fell on these theoretical-methodological bases deficiencies. The limitations for the objectification of professional project in daily work come from the relative difficulty in taking ownership of Marx's theory. The subjects understand the centrality of contemporary Social Service professional project, but they are limited in this objectification, given the social relations of capitalist production and institutional boundaries. It was noted that the difficulty in joining the class project cannot be attributed solely to institutional or capitalist limits; that project is to be thought of as a compromise to overcome the determinations and locate man as the measure of all things / Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar o processo de apropriação e da objetivação da teoria social de Marx e seus rebatimentos no projeto ético-político profissional junto aos assistentes sociais. Pretende-se ainda, analisar qual a contribuição da teoria social de Marx para a profissão e sua consequente materialização no cotidiano do trabalho profissional. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, tendo como procedimento a revisão de literatura e pesquisa de campo, por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com três assistentes sociais da cidade de Uberaba, MG, no ano de 2012, sendo um da área da saúde, um da docência e um do Tribunal de Justiça. Este trabalho justificou-se pelos questionamentos sobre as formas de apropriação da teoria social de Marx pelos assistentes sociais e as formas de objetivação do projeto ético-político profissional no cotidiano do trabalho profissional. Observou-se que há uma relativa apropriação da teoria social de Marx pelos assistentes sociais, constatando entraves no processo de formação profissional que incidiram nessas deficiências de bases teórico-metodológicas. Da relativa dificuldade em apropriar-se do arcabouço teórico de Marx apontam-se as limitações para a objetivação do projeto profissional no cotidiano de trabalho. Dessa forma, os sujeitos compreendem a centralidade do projeto profissional no Serviço Social contemporâneo, porém se veem limitados nesta objetivação, dadas as relações sociais de produção capitalista e dos limites institucionais. Observou-se que a dificuldade na adesão ao projeto de classe não pode ser atribuída exclusivamente aos limites institucionais ou do capital; esse projeto necessita ser pensado como um compromisso que supere as determinações e situe o homem como a medida de todas as coisas

A presente tese refere-se à pesquisa teórica acerca das principais obras de autores da corrente de interpretação marxista clássica do trabalho e da teoria social em saúde. Nesse sentido, os elementos centrais dessa corrente são abordados com referência a bibliografia de autores dos contextos intelectuais, francês e italiano. Depreende-se da pesquisa que a incorporação de outros meios intelectuais possibilitou o desenvolvimento de uma teoria social em saúde original a partir de associações pluriparadigmáticas de teorias críticas de modernidade, na qual as contradições oriundas do domínio racional da natureza corpórea e seu meio na sociabilidade capitalista são elemento centrais do processo social de medicalização e mercantilização. A hipótese interpretativa desenvolvida aponta que duas principais teses da Escola de Frankfurt, a crítica ao progresso de Walter Benjamim e a crítica a racionalidade técnica instrumental de Adorno e Horkheimer, são basilares na elaboração da teoria social em saúde constituidora do campo interdisciplinar da saúde coletiva. Na perspectiva de balanço crítico da interpretação marxista, destacamos a transição analítica da prática médica à teoria do processo de trabalho em saúde com identificação de contribuições e limites para a apreensão do trabalho das ocupações em saúde no processo contemporâneo de complexificação do trabalho e da relação social em saúde. / The present thesis refers to the theoretical research about the main works of authors of the current of classic Marxist interpretation of work and social theory in health. In this sense, the central elements of this chain are approached with reference to the bibliography of authors from the intellectual contexts, French and Italian. It follows from the research that the incorporation of other intellectual means enabled the development of an original health social theory from pluriparadigmatic associations of critical theories of modernity, in which the contradictions stemming from the rational domain of corporeal nature and its environment in capitalist sociability are central elements of the social process of medicalization and commodification. The interpretative hypothesis developed suggests that two main theses of the Frankfurt School, the criticism of Walter Benjamim\'s progress and the critique of instrumental technical rationality of Adorno and Horkheimer, are fundamental in the elaboration of the social health theory that constitutes the interdisciplinary field of collective health. From the perspective of a critical balance of Marxist interpretation, we highlight the analytical transition from medical practice to the theory of the health work process with the identification of contributions and limits for the apprehension of the work of occupations in health in the contemporary process of work and social relationship in health.

Das vorliegende Buch gibt in zehn Einzelbeiträgen eine Einführung in das Gesamtwerk von Erving Goffman. Dabei wird gebrochen mit einer Sichtweise, die Goffman nur als einen "soziologischen Belletristen" kennt, der die Sozialwissenschaften mit einer Vielzahl von Begriffen bereichert hat. Vielmehr wird aufgezeigt, daß sich sein Werk durch ein eigenständiges Therieprogramm auszeichnet, das sich keinem anderen theoretischen Ansatz einverleiben läßt und Goffman in den Rang eine "Klassikers der zweiten Generation" erhebt. Die Beiträge der ersten Abteilung befassen sich mit dem Theorieprogramm von Goffman, indem das Forschungsprogramm der "interaction order" und die Grundlagen der Rahmen-Analyse beschrieben werden. In den anschließenden Beiträgen wird das Werk von Goffman im Vergleich mit soziologischen Theorien (Ethnomethodologie; phänomenologische Soziologie, Strukturalismus und Symbolischer Interaktionismus) diskutiert, mit denen es oftmals in Verbindung gebracht wird. Die Beiträge des dritten Teils befassen sich aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven mit der Reichweite des Theorieprogramms von Goffman. Vervollständigt wird dieser Teil durch eine umfangreiche Bibliographie.

In an accelerating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) environment, academic libraries’ catalogs have always been part of students’ and faculty members journey of resources discovery. The master thesis intents to focus its interest in Information Systems (IS) ground related to the implementation of a new search engine at the University of Piraeus Library. The Library wants to change the search features of its traditional online services and to implement a new discover tool with Web 2.0 characteristics. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate users’ views and desires interest according to their scholarly needs and expectations about VuFind in order to facilitate the Library to customize the integration. Therefore, critical systems theory will be employed for “therapeutic” reasons to enlighten the Library’s users about their current situation. Qualitative analysis is expected to recognize discrimination against traditional Library’s search engines. Qualitative data of the user impression and reaction when operate with the VuFind interface will lead to recommendations for enhancement and improvements. Findings will assist implementers to modify the discovery layer by meeting users’ needs of the academia community. The research will collect data through qualitative method on how participants operate with the VuFind search engine merging librarians’ professional views and users’ expectations and propositions. Participatory Design (PD) will be built upon Future Workshop method.

Contemporary theoretical and political approaches have sought to integrate both a material politics of redistribution and a cultural politics of recognition into a relational theoretical framework. Such frameworks consider the intersecting ways individuals and groups suffer from over-determining social inequalities that are rooted in the economic, cultural and political orders of society. In this thesis, I identify approaches that seek to explain the intersection between economic, cultural, and political variables as “integrated” theories of justice. At the forefront of integrated approaches that have cut across disciplinary and epistemological divides, I critically engage with Nancy Fraser’s integrated theory of justice (1995, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005). I also examine similar, yet alternative approaches advanced by Jacinda Swanson (2005) and others that have attempted to reconcile the economy/culture/politics relationship. I argue that while integrated theories of social justice provide a correction to previous “reductionist” and “essentializing” theories of social justice, they do not go far enough to capture the over-determining interconnections between economics, politics, culture, and agency. As a result, they are unable to adequately address the complexity of social inequalities. To address this problem in the literature, I re-work integrated theories of social justice that attempt to reconcile the economy/culture/politics divide through an integration with a realist meta-theoretical approach. A realist approach offers several theoretical, methodological and political gains for recasting complex theories of social justice.

This thesis focuses on the structural and behavioural factors that placed South Asian immigrant women living with HIV/AIDS in the Greater Toronto Area at risk. Informed by Connell's social theory of gender (1987), this study examined the role of hegemonic masculinity in legitimizing male power and contributing to the HIV risk of these women. By conducting one-on-one interviews with 12 HIV-positive immigrant women, meaningful constructions of the women's narratives and accounts of their experiences relative to HIV were created. This study examined the intersection of power ideologies such as gender, race and class in specific contexts as they generated particular experiences that affected women's risk for HIV. Following a community-based research approach, a collaborative relationship was established with the Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention where qualitative methods of analysis and an inductive approach with an iterative process were followed. Factors such as isolation, economic dependence on their husbands, discrimination, racism, investment in psychologically and emotionally abusive relationships, combined with the absence of support from their family of origin exacerbated the women's risk of HIV infection. The strong ties exhibited by most of the women to their religious/ethnic communities helped sustain a gender-based social hierarchy. To facilitate dialogue and social change for South Asian women, gender and culture need to be situated in social and historical contexts. As such, programs should be understood within a larger critical understanding of the social power relations and history of Canadian immigration patterns. Using anti-racist frameworks, initiatives should address violence against women, while tackling interrelated issues (i.e., housing, poverty, etc.). This work draws attention to oppressions through the experiences of a community of women who are rarely given a voice within the context of research on HIV/AIDS. It will be also helpful for Ontario’s HIV prevention strategy and the field of women's sexual health.
