雅絲敏•阿莫（Yasmin Ahmad），是馬來西亞已故的電影及廣告女導演。其電影最大特色是反映出馬來西亞族群與文化多元性，賦予了馬來西亞電影真正的意義，除了受國內各族群觀眾的喜愛，也在許多國際影展上獲得殊榮。 雅絲敏的電影中有許多的情節，是在指涉馬來西亞社會中特定的情境與文化現象，有其獨特意義，極具研究價值。因此，本論文將以作者論態度和文本分析法探究雅絲敏的六部作品，包括《愛到眼茫茫》、《我愛單眼皮》、《花開總有時》、《木星的初戀》、《愛從心開始》和《戀戀茉莉香》，主要在於了解雅絲敏在電影中對於馬來西亞族群關係的再現。文獻方面，將對作者論、文本分析法以及族群相關概念及理論進行梳理與探討。另外，也將整理出雅絲敏六部作品的共通性，以確認雅絲敏的電影風格以及她在馬來西亞電影發展脈絡中所作出的貢獻與代表意義。 / The late Yasmin Ahmad is one of the most outstanding film directors from Malaysia. Yasmin’ films always depict the multiethnic and multicultural society of Malaysia, which not only attracted audiences from different ethnic within the country but also won many awards in the international film festival. It is important to think and understand the messages Yasmin trying to convey through her films. Therefore by using the auteur theory and textual analysis, this research will study the representation of ethnic relationship in all her six films, Rabun(2003), Sepet(2004), Gubra(2006), Mukhsin(2007), Muallaf(2008) and Talentime(2009). In order to provide background knowledge regarding the circumstances of Malaysia multiethnic society, this research also involves the theory of pluralism, ethnic identity, ethnic boundary, and stereotypes as part of the literature review. And also, this research will analyses mise-en-scène that was used to appear in Yasmin’ films to prove that Yasmin is truly a film auteur. Lastly, this research will conclude the unique film style which solely belongs to Yasmin and her contribution towards Malaysia film industry.

This dissertation examines how honor was fashioned in the New South by examining the masculine roles performed by William Greene Raoul, Jr. Raoul wrote his autobiography in the mid-1930s and in it he reflected on his life on the New South's frontier at the turn of the century as change came to the region in all aspects of life: politically, economically, socially, sexually, and racially. Raoul was an elite son of the New South whose memoirs, "The Proletarian Aristocrat," reveals a man of multiple masculinities, each with particular ways of retrieving his past(s). The paradox of his title suggests the parallel organization of Raoul's recollections. The "aristocrat" framed the events of a lifetime through a lens of honor, sustained by southern gentlemen who restrained masculine impulses on the one hand and avoided dependency on the other. Raoul the "proletarian" cast honor through an ideological retrospective whereby traumatic memories of disappointment and failure were re-fashioned through a distinctly politicized view constructed rather than recalled. Raoul's business failures led him to re-conceptualize masculine honor as a quality possessed more by the emerging working class than the rising commercial class. Memory operates in this project as more than mere methodology as assumptions about access to the past through memory are subordinated to an examination of the meaning of the memories rehearsed by Raoul. Raoul wrote his autobiography at a bittersweet moment in his life. While his personal fortune had been nearly wiped out by the stock market crash of October 1929, he clearly looked back on his career in the New South as a committed radical with delight as the Great Depression called into question the legitimacy of the capitalist system that he had long held responsible for his own professional failures in a variety of endeavors, from the cotton-mill industry to box-car building and from saw manufacturing to a practicing accountant. Raoul converted to Socialism in part to join what he regarded as society's most progressive and virile force. It is these two voices, the proletarian and the aristocrat, that are under examination here.

This thesis examines the way genocide leaves marks in the writings of targeted people. It posits not only that these marks exist, but also that they indicate a type of psychological resistance. By focusing on the ways Holocaust diarists depicted Nazi perpetrators, and by concentrating on the ways language was used to distance the victim from the perpetrator, it is possible to see how Jewish diarists were engaged in alternate and subtle, but nevertheless important, forms of resistance to genocide. The thesis suggest this resistance on the part of victims is similar in many ways to well-known distancing mechanisms employed by perpetrators and that this evidence points to a “crisis of imagination” – for victims and perpetrators alike – in which the capability to envision negation and death, and to identify with the “Other” is detrimental to self-preservation.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att genom en genusvetenskaplig och socialkonstruktivistisk ansats undersöka hur kvinnor framställs i de svenska hårdrocksmagasinen Close-Up Magazine och Sweden Rock Magazine. Då majoriteten av den genusrelaterade medieforskningen har intresserat sig för reklam- och modebilder finns en kunskapslucka kring hur kvinnor framställs i bilder inom genrer vid sidan av dessa. Denna studie avsåg att genom semiotisk textanalys undersöka bilder i dessa magasin, för att identifiera de kvinnliga stereotyperna i dem och sedan jämföra dessa med etablerade stereotyper som tidigare forskning påvisat. Sammanlagt analyserades 28 bilder i 15 magasin från 2013 utifrån feministisk blickteori och Goffmans teori om könsframställning. Tre tydliga kvinnliga stereotyper framträdde i resultatet. Dessa benämnde vi som Den hårda, Den medkännande och Den objektifierade. De två sistnämnda är väl kända sedan innan inom forskningssammanhang medan Den hårda kvinnan, som bland annat uppvisar tecken på aggressivitet, avsky och överlägsenhet, inte påträffats i liknande studier innan. Denna nyfunna stereotyps blick, som inte definierats i tidigare forskning, namngav vi The Glare. Slutligen påvisar studiens resultat en större nyansering av de stereotyper som tidigare har diskuterats i genusrelaterad medieforskning. Resultaten tyder på att det inte finns en enhetlig kvinnlig stereotyp, utan att de kan variera beroende på genre och kulturell kontext. / The aim of this paper was to examine how women are portrayed in the Swedish metal magazines Close-Up Magazine and Sweden Rock Magazine from a gender theoretical and social constructivist perspective. Since the majority of the gender related media research have focused on pictures in fashion and advertising, there is a lack of awareness regarding how women are portrayed in other genres. This study’s objective was to examine pictures in these magazines in order to identify female stereotypes and compare them to established stereotypes from previous studies. In total 28 pictures from 15 magazines, that were published in 2013, were analyzed based on the understanding of feminist theory and Goffman’s theory of gender display. Three distinctive female stereotypes appeared in the results. These were titled The tough, The compassionate and The objectified. The last two are well known in the media research field while The tough woman, who show signs of aggression, contempt and superiority, has not appeared in previous studies. This new stereotype's view of the observer, which has not been defined in previous studies, we decided to call The glare. The results show a greater variety of stereotypes than what has been discussed in prior media related research. They also indicate that there is no uniform female stereotype and that they vary depending on genre and cultural context.

An interpretative methodology for understanding meaning in cinema since the 1950s, auteur analysis is an approach to film studies in which an individual, usually the director, is studied as the author of her or his films. The principal argument of this thesis is that proponents of auteurism have privileged examination of the visual components in a film-maker’s body of work, neglecting the potentially significant role played by sound. The thesis seeks to address this problematic imbalance by interrogating the creative use of sound in the films written and directed by Rolf de Heer, asking the question, “Does his use of sound make Rolf de Heer an aural auteur?” In so far as the term ‘aural’ encompasses everything in the film that is heard by the audience, the analysis seeks to discover if de Heer has, as Peter Wollen suggests of the auteur and her or his directing of the visual components (1968, 1972 and 1998), unconsciously left a detectable aural signature on his films. The thesis delivers an innovative outcome by demonstrating that auteur analysis that goes beyond the mise-en-scène (i.e. visuals) is productive and worthwhile as an interpretive response to film. De Heer’s use of the aural point of view and binaural sound recording, his interest in providing a ‘voice’ for marginalised people, his self-penned song lyrics, his close and early collaboration with composer Graham Tardif and sound designer Jim Currie, his ‘hands-on’ approach to sound recording and sound editing and his predilection for making films about sound are all shown to be examples of de Heer’s aural auteurism. As well as the three published (or accepted for publication) interviews with de Heer, Tardif and Currie, the dissertation consists of seven papers refereed and published (or accepted for publication) in journals and international conference proceedings, a literature review and a unifying essay. The papers presented are close textual analyses of de Heer’s films which, when considered as a whole, support the thesis’ overall argument and serve as a comprehensive auteur analysis, the first such sustained study of his work, and the first with an emphasis on the aural.

Throughout church history, traditional interpretations of I Timothy 2:8-3:1 (a) have excluded women from ordained ministry in the church universal. The aim of this dissertation was to propose an alternative hermeneutical framework to effect fresh understanding of this text. A social-scientific approach utilised . models from sociology and communication theory. The socio-religious climate of Asia Minor particularly Ephesus between 59 and 64 C E is described. An assessment is made of the status of women in Asia Minor as well as in Hellenism, Romanism and Judaism. A textual analysis provided pointers to the aspects under research. Research findings strongly suggest that neither the text or the world beyond can be used to exclude women from full participation at all levels in the church. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.A. (Biblical Studies)

This study unites the burgeoning academic field of exhibition histories and the critiques of race-based exhibition practices that crystallised in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s. It concerns recent practices of presenting and contextualising black creativity in British publicly funded art museums and galleries that are part of a broader attempt to increase the diversity of histories and perspectives represented in public art collections and exhibitions. The research focuses on three concurrent 2010 exhibitions that aimed to offer a non-hegemonic reading of black creativity through the use of non-art-historical conceptual and alternative curatorial models: Afro Modern (Tate Liverpool), Action (The Bluecoat), and a retrospective of works by Chris Ofili (Tate Britain). Comparative exhibitions of the past were typically premised on concepts of difference that ultimately resulted in the notional separation of black artists from mainstream discourses on contemporary art and histories of British art. Through a close and critical textual analysis of these three recent exhibitions, which is informed by J.L. Austin’s theory of speech acts (1955), the study considers whether, and to what extent the delimiting curatorial practices of the past have been successfully abandoned by public art museums and galleries, and furthermore, whether it has been possible for British art institutions to reject the entrenched, exclusive conceptions of British culture that negated black contributions to the canon and narratives of British art in the first place. The exhibition case studies are complemented and contextualised by an in-depth history of the Bluecoat’s engagement with black creativity between 1976 and 2012, which provides a particular insight into the ways that debates about representation, difference and separatism have impacted the policies and practices of one culturally significant art gallery that is frequently overlooked in histories of black British art. With reference to the notion of legitimate coercion as defined by Zygmunt Bauman (2000), the study determines that long-standing hegemonic structures continue to inform the modes through which public art museums and galleries in Britain curate and control black creativity.

This exploratory and experimental research aims to analyze the use of Concept Maps as a Cognitive Technology for textual understanding in adult education. The research was conducted with Youth and Adult elementary school students during Portuguese language classes. To achieve this goal, the pedagogical features implemented in the study context were observed and then they were applied in 28 lessons divided into 7 study units , for two groups of 15 students classified as Control and Experimental Groups. For the first group, the classes were taught following the traditional method which was seen in the initial observations. For the Experimental Group, a methodology based on the creation of Concept Maps was developed. The teaching methodology was theoretically grounded in studies on the Theory of Meaningful Learning, Concept Maps, Textual Coherence, and Discursive Textual Analysis. To analyze the evolution in the construction of Concept Maps and textual understanding, we used Student\'s t-test, the Discursive Textual Analysis proposed by Moraes and Galiazzi, and Wordle. The data analysis showed that the Experimental Group achieved a 30% increase in the conceptual framework with a fostering in the propositional meaningful learning when compared to the Control Group. This group was also more capable to turn declarative knowledge into procedural. The Conceptual Map proved, therefore, to be a Cognitive Technology effective for increasing textual understanding in the context of the search. / Esta pesquisa exploratória e experimental realizada na Educação de Jovens e Adultos, em turmas do Ensino Fundamental I na disciplina Língua Portuguesa, pretende contribuir para um estudo a fim da verificação da utilização dos Mapas Conceituais como uma Tecnologia Cognitiva para o entendimento textual na EJA. Para tal, foi realizada uma observação das características pedagógicas implementadas no contexto de estudo e, posteriormente, foram aplicadas em 28 aulas, divididas em 7 unidades de estudo, para dois grupos de 15 alunos classificados como Grupos Controle e Experimental. Para o primeiro grupo, foram ministradas as aulas conforme o modelo comumente verificado nas observações iniciais. Para o Grupo Experimental, foi desenvolvida uma proposta metodológica envolvendo a criação de Mapas Conceituais durante as unidades de estudo. A metodologia de ensino tem como fundamentação teórica os estudos sobre a Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa, Mapas Conceituais, Coerência Textual e Análise Textual Discursiva. Como instrumentos de análise de dados da evolução na construção dos Mapas Conceituais e entendimento textual, foram utilizados o Teste t de Student, a Análise Textual Discursiva proposta por Moraes e Galiazzi e o Wordle. A análise das avaliações de entendimento textual e Mapas Conceituais produzidos demonstraram que o Grupo Experimental obteve um aumento de 30% no arcabouço conceitual com um favorecimento na aprendizagem significativa proposicional quando comparado ao Grupo Controle. Este grupo também se mostrou mais capaz na transformação do conhecimento declarativo em procedimental. O Mapa Conceitual se revelou, portanto, como uma Tecnologia Cognitiva eficaz para o aumento no entendimento textual no contexto da pesquisa. / Mestre em Tecnologias, Comunicação e Educação

nÃo hà / No cenÃrio de rÃpidas mudanÃas planetÃrias do sÃculo XXI, à necessÃrio priorizar a importÃncia da EducaÃÃo Ambiental (EA), face as ameaÃas empreendidas pelo homem junto à natureza. No Brasil, tal efeito torna-se mais crÃtico, devido fragilidades do sistema educacional, citando-se o analfabetismo funcional e a formaÃÃo nos campos das ciÃncias naturais e humanas. Em contrapartida, as Tecnologias da InformaÃÃo e ComunicaÃÃo (TIC) progressivamente contribuem junto ao desenvolvimento da educaÃÃo, socializaÃÃo da informaÃÃo e construÃÃo de novos saberes. Se fundamentadamente utilizadas, as TIC podem favorecer a construÃÃo colaborativa de novos conhecimentos e saberes, relacionados à EA e conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica, quer atravÃs do currÃculo prescrito ou oculto. A presente Tese investiga como cursistas, colaborativa e assincronamente, atravÃs da construÃÃo de narrativas, postadas em fÃruns de discussÃo, constroem conhecimentos, e se apropriam de saberes pedagÃgicos e tecnolÃgicos, vinculados ao estudo da EA e coaprendizagem significativa, no espaÃo de desenvolvimento de prÃticas pedagÃgicas de uma Disciplina de InformÃtica na EducaÃÃo, do Curso de Licenciatura em Pedagogia de uma Universidade pÃblica. A pesquisa classifica-se como aplicada, qualitativa, coinvestigativa, descritiva e apresenta traÃos de pesquisa-aÃÃo. Sua sustentaÃÃo teÃrica ancora-se: quanto aos saberes docentes em Tardif; no caso da EA, educaÃÃo CTSA e conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica, em Chrispino et al. e Jacobi e TristÃo; na coaprendizagem assÃcrona e mapeamento cognitivo, em Ausubel e Okada; quanto à integraÃÃo das TIC, desenvolvimento da EA e transdisciplinaridade, em Almeida e Valente, Leff, Moraes, e Ribeiro et al. Os dados coletados na pesquisa corresponderam aos conjuntos de narrativas elaboradas e discutidas pelos cursistas, em fÃruns de discussÃo TelEduc, relacionados aos temas: mapas conceituais; uso pedagÃgico das TIC; EA e conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica. Os dados foram analisados adotando-se a tÃcnica da AnÃlise Textual Discursiva (ATD), segundo Moraes e Galiazzi, quanto Ãs unidades de anÃlise, categorizaÃÃo e (re)construÃÃo de metatextos interpretativos. Posteriormente, atravÃs dos pressupostos da AnÃlise Qualitativa Multidimensional (AQM), foi utilizado o software de anÃlise de dados multidimensionais CHIC, segundo, Almeida, Moraes e Valente, para se investigar, sob uma Ãtica de transdisciplinaridade, relaÃÃes hierÃrquicas e relacionais entre as categorias, organizadas em Ãrvores de similaridade, obtidas nas saÃdas de dados do CHIC. Em seguida, estes dados obtidos foram (inter)relacionados Ãs narrativas dos alunos, e analisados à luz do referencial teÃrico e objetivos da Tese,surgindo indÃcios preliminares que, elementos vinculados à conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica na escola revelam-se desafiadores, pois hà uma limitada oferta: de prÃticas pedagÃgicas interdisciplinares; de currÃculos CTSA, o que pode limitar uma discussÃo aprofundada de questÃes socioambientais. TambÃm, emergiram evidÃncias que a EA pode ser viabilizada por meio do uso pedagÃgico e cognitivo das TIC, desde que haja a devida formaÃÃo dos docentes, para que estes se apropriarem de seu uso, no intuito de mediar discussÃes telecolaborativas, sobre EA e conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica. Para futuras pesquisas, sugerem-se: renovar os cursos de formaÃÃo docente, no que trata da discussÃo das questÃes socioambientais; investigar a presenÃa de discussÃes da temÃtica ambiental nas escolas, e do desenvolvimento de currÃculos do tipo CTSA; desenvolver-se pesquisas sobre o uso das TIC na EA e em cenÃrios de conscientizaÃÃo ecolÃgica.

The presence of students with disabilities in regular teaching classrooms is becoming a reality every day, and such a condition is inherent in a society that wants to be more egalitarian and democratic. Education has traced ways for the inclusion of students with some type of disability in schools, so as not to segregate them from the others and prepare them for their action in society, starting from legislation that seeks to ensure Inclusive Education in public and private school institutions. It is based on the assumption that scientific knowledge plays an important role in building people's autonomy and that, at any moment, the teacher may encounter a student with a disability in the classroom. In view of this situation, the discussions presented in this dissertation originate from a research that aims to analyze the conceptions of a group of teachers of Basic Chemistry about the challenges faced and the didactic strategies used to attend students with disabilities. Through a case study, we sought to investigate the pedagogical (dis) preparation of teachers of chemistry to work with students with disabilities, mainly in relation to their training and public policies of school inclusion, as a guiding base in the work of teachers with these students. It is considered essential to understand how teachers feel about classroom work with such students, because this is still a poorly researched aspect of inclusive education. The data were obtained in two steps. The first one involved the application of questionnaires while the second one used the focal group technique. The focus group was developed with six chemistry teachers from public and private schools in the state of Sergipe. The work with the focus group made it possible to broaden the expression of the research subjects through their participation in the discussions and reflections focused on their needs regarding the diversity in the classroom. The data obtained were submitted to the Discursive Textual Analysis presented by Moraes and Galiazzi (2011). The data obtained express how much teachers feel insecure and helpless before the disabled student. They show outrage at public policies, which seek to ensure access for students with disabilities to regular education, but do not guarantee conditions for them to work properly with these students. From this perspective, teachers declare that inclusive education is only apparent, since there is a lack of material and human resources for such work. However, it is noticeable that such indignation does not materialize in actions that require, both inside and outside the school. Their statements express a paralysis in the face of the inconsistency they perceive in the implementation of an inclusive education. This highlights ask for investment in the training of teachers to elaborate their view on inclusive education, in parallel to a policy that invest more in material conditions and support that favor the improvement of their pedagogical actions. / A presença de alunos com deficiência nas salas de aula do ensino regular torna-se a cada dia uma realidade mais marcante, sendo tal condição inerente a uma sociedade que se pretende mais igualitária e democrática. A educação tem trilhado caminhos para a inclusão de alunos com algum tipo de deficiência nas escolas, de modo a não os segregar dos demais e prepará-los para sua atuação em sociedade, partindo de uma legislação que busca assegurar a Educação Inclusiva nas instituições escolares públicas e privadas. Parte-se do pressuposto de que o conhecimento científico tem papel importante na construção da autonomia das pessoas e que, desta forma, a qualquer momento o professor pode se deparar com aluno com deficiência em sala de aula. Diante dessa situação, as discussões apresentadas nessa dissertação originam-se de uma pesquisa que teve por objetivo analisar as concepções de um grupo de professores de Química da Educação Básica acerca dos desafios enfrentados e das estratégias didáticas utilizadas para atender os alunos com deficiência. Através de um estudo de caso, buscou-se investigar o (des)preparo pedagógico dos professores de Química para o trabalho com alunos com deficiência, principalmente no que se refere a sua formação e às políticas públicas de inclusão escolar, como base orientadora no trabalho dos docentes com estes discentes. Considera-se essencial entender como os professores se sentem em relação ao trabalho em sala de aula com tais alunos, tendo-se em vista que esta é, ainda, uma vertente pouco “pesquisada” do tema Educação Inclusiva. Os dados foram obtidos em duas etapas: a primeira envolveu a aplicação de questionários e, a segunda, a técnica de grupo focal, a qual foi desenvolvida com seis professores de Química de escolas da rede estadual e particular da região centro-sul do estado de Sergipe. O trabalho com o grupo focal possibilitou ampliar a expressão dos sujeitos da pesquisa por meio de sua participação nas discussões e reflexões voltadas para as suas necessidades frente à diversidade da sala de aula. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à Análise Textual Discursiva, apresentada por Moraes e Galiazzi (2011), a qual se desenvolve por meio de três principais etapas: unitarização, categorização e elaboração de metatexto. Os dados obtidos expressam o quanto os professores se sentem inseguros e desamparados diante do aluno com deficiência. Eles mostram indignação diante das políticas públicas, as quais buscam garantir o acesso de alunos com deficiência ao ensino regular, mas não garantem condições para que trabalhem adequadamente com tais alunos. Nessa perspectiva, declaram que a educação inclusiva é apenas aparente, pois faltam recursos materiais e humanos para tal trabalho. Entretanto, é perceptível que tal indignação não se materializa em ações que requeiram, tanto dentro quanto fora da escola, as condições organizacionais que proclamam. Seus depoimentos expressam uma paralisação diante da incoerência que percebem na implementação de uma educação inclusiva, levando em conta alunos com deficiência. Isso ressalta a necessidade de investimento na formação dos professores para que (re)elaborem seu olhar sobre a educação inclusiva, em paralelo à uma política que invista mais em condições materiais e apoio que favoreçam a melhoria de suas ações pedagógicas.
