[en] W. E. B. DU BOIS: A READING / [pt] W. E. B. DU BOIS: UMA LEITURA

ANA CAROLINA SANTOS DO NASCIMENTO 15 September 2020 (has links)
[pt] A proposta dessa pesquisa é a tratar de William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, um dos fundadores da Sociologia Moderna Americana, o primeiro homem negro a conseguir PhD pela Universidade de Harvard, em 1895 e pouco lido no Brasil. A obra desse autor é muito vasta e em sua maior parte se concentra em tratar as relações raciais e, dentro desse tema, fala também sobre colonialismo. Em 1903, Du Bois escreveu um de seus livros mais importantes e conhecidos The Souls of Black Folks, em que o autor se emprenha em explicar como foi constituída a subjetividade do negro norte-americano. Neste livro o autor desenvolve três conceitos sociológicos fundamentais: color line, veil e double counciousness. Além de sociólogo, historiador, novelista, poeta, Du Bois dedicou boa parte de sua vida como editor. The Crisis, a publicação oficial da NAACP (National Association for the Advencement of Colored People) foi onde passou um longo período, editou a revista entre 1910 e 1934. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar, por meio de um exame descritivo/qualitativo, os post scripta de autoria do editor, das edições da The Crisis durante o ano de 1934 sob ótica do conceito de dupla consciência e entender de que maneira o autor constrói esse conceito em seus textos. / [en] The purpose of this research is to address William Edward Burghardt Du Bois, one of the founders of Modern American Sociology, the first black man to obtain a PhD from Harvard University in 1895 and little read in Brazil.

In 1903, Du Bois wrote one of his most important and well-known books The Souls of Black Folks, in which the author uses to explain how was constituted the subjectivity of the Afro American.

The Crisis, an official publication of NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) was where he spent a long time, edited a magazine between 1910 and 1934. The purpose of this work is analyzed, through a descriptive / qualitative exam, after the post scripta, authored by the editor in chief, of the editions of The Crisis during the year 1934, from the perspective of the concept of double consciousness and understanding how the author builds this concept in his texts.

Memory struggles : narrating and commemorating the Aum Affair in contemporary Japan, 1994-2015

Ushiyama, Rin January 2017 (has links)
This dissertation investigates how different stakeholders have competed over the interpretation and commemoration of the Aum Affair. The Aum Affair was a series of crimes committed by new religious movement Aum Shinrikyō between 1988 and 1995, which culminated in the gassing of the Tokyo subway system using sarin in March 1995. The Tokyo attack was the largest act of terrorism in post-war Japan. I combine qualitative methods of media analysis, interviews, and participant observation to analyse how different stakeholders have narrated and commemorated the Aum Affair. I propose ‘collective trauma’ as a revised theory of ‘cultural trauma’ to describe an event which is represented as harmful and indelible to collective memory and identity. In contrast to ‘cultural trauma’, which stresses the importance of symbolic representations of traumatic events, ‘collective trauma’ considers other ‘material’ processes – such as establishing facts, collective action, state responses, and litigation – which also contribute to trauma construction. My overarching argument is that various stakeholders – including state authorities, mass media, public intellectuals, victims, and former Aum believers – have constructed the Aum Affair as a collective trauma in multiple and conflicting ways. Many media representations situated Aum as an evil ‘cult’ which ‘brainwashed’ believers and intended to take over Japan through terror. State authorities also responded by treating Aum as a dangerous terrorist group. In some instances, these binary representations of Japan locked in a struggle against an evil force led to municipal governments violating the civil rights of Aum believers. Some individuals such as public intellectuals and former believers have challenged this divisive view by treating Aum as a ‘religion’, not a ‘cult’, and locating the root causes of Aum’s growth in Japanese society. Additionally, victims and former members have pursued divergent goals such as retributive justice, financial reparations, and social reconciliation through their public actions. A key conclusion of this dissertation is that whilst confronting horrific acts of violence may require social construction of collective trauma using cultural codes of good and evil, the entrenchment of these symbolic categories can result in lasting social tension and division.
