A resiliência enquanto experiência de dignidade : antropologia das práticas políticas em um cotidiano de lutas e contestações junto a moradoras ameaçadas de remoção nas cidades sede da Copa do Mundo 2014 (Porto Alegre, RS e Rio de Janeiro, RJ)

Gutterres, Anelise dos Santos January 2014 (has links)
A ameaça de remoção feita pelos governos municipais as moradoras de comunidades, vilas ou favelas é uma das marcas da habitação de famílias e sujeitos nesses locais. As narrativas sobre o cotidiano nesses territórios parecem ser tecidas cuidadosamente sob o signo da resiliência, que não raro é sintetizado na categoria luta, que nesse caso expressa a experiência de viver na comunidade, e que vincula, casa, corpo, diferentes relações sociais. A partir de alguns relatos elaborados nessa condição de resiliência, conhecemos outras marcas intrínsecas a trajetória dessas mulheres e como elas chegam e vivem nesses territórios, em meio a confrontos armados, coação feita por funcionários da prefeitura, e diversas outras violências. Sacrifícios e sofrimentos que compõem os seus argumentos mais profundos de permanência naquele espaço, já que nenhuma delas gostaria de ser removida dali. Nos aproximamos dessas mulheres através do percurso de uma pesquisa de campo realizada em Porto Alegre e no Rio de Janeiro, em meio a uma rede de contestação às obras dos megaeventos no Brasil– Copa do Mundo e Olimpíadas – que se fortalece a partir de 2010 quando as obras preparatórias se iniciam nas cidades sede. As contestações que aparecem nos relatos remontam a um esgotamento político profundo e a um fosso generoso entre algumas conquistas sociais conquistadas desde 1988 e sua efetivação. A moradoras diante desse cenário são compreendidas através de uma cidadania insurgente que tem, no exercício efetivo da luta, a resiliência como uma prática política que lhe garante a dignidade. / The threat of removal houses made by municipal governments for the residents of communities, towns or favelas is a hallmark of housing in these locations. The narratives about everyday life in these areas seem to be woven carefully under the sign of resilience, which often is synthesized in the struggle, which in this case expresses the experience of living in the community, and linking: home, body, different social relations. Witnessing some narratives prepared under this condition of resilience, I met other intrinsic marks the trajectory of these women and how they come and live in these territories, amid armed confrontations, threats made by city officials, and several other violence. The sacrifice and suffering that constitute their arguments deeper to stay in that space, since none of them would like to be removed from thence. This women are part of this field survey conducted in Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro, amid a network of opposition to construction of megaevents in the Brazil World Cup and Olympics - started from 2010, when preparatory works begin in the host cities. The disputes that appear in the narratives, are components to a deep political exhaustion and a generous gap between some social gains won since 1988 and its implementation. The residents in this scenario are understood through an insurgent citizenship, which has in the effective exercise of struggle, resilience as a political practice that ensures dignity.

O planejamento estratégico da cidade de Porto Alegre na conjuntura prévia à Copa do Mundo de 2014

Xavier, Fernando Weiss January 2013 (has links)
A promoção da imagem das cidades como estratégia de desenvolvimento urbano, incluindo a realização de megaeventos e de grandes projetos, vem assumindo papel central na política atual. Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar como tem ocorrido este processo em Porto Alegre, cidade que se tornou conhecida, mundialmente, pela experiência bem-sucedida do Orçamento Participativo, na década de 1990, e por ter sediado, em 2001, 2002, 2003 e 2005, um megaevento antiglobalização, o Fórum Social Mundial. De maneira mais específica, o trabalho discute aspectos referentes às atividades dos setores da construção civil e imobiliário em Porto Alegre, vinculados à futura Copa do Mundo de Futebol de 2014, assumindo que essas iniciativas encontram seu fundamento no Plano Diretor do município, aprovado em 1999, na conjuntura de reorientação da política urbana, então conduzida pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores. Para tanto, o estudo busca identificar os principais vínculos explicativos dessa trajetória, passando pela análise não só dos principais Grandes Projetos Urbanos que vem sendo realizados no contexto do referido megaevento, como também das estratégias de desenvolvimento urbano e de seus promotores. Verifica-se que estas iniciativas não se diferenciam das tendências predominantes do urbanismo contemporâneo, fundamentado na atuação projetual sobre a cidade. / Promoting the image of cities as urban development strategy, including the realization of megaevents and large projects, has assumed a central role in current policy. This work aims to analyze how this process has taken place in Porto Alegre, a city that has become known worldwide through successful experience of Participatory Budgeting in the 1990s, and for hosting in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005 a mega-globalization, the World Social Forum. More specifically, the paper discusses aspects related to the activities of civil construction and real estate in Porto Alegre, linked to future World Cup Football 2014, assuming that these initiatives find their basis in the Master Plan of the municipality, approved in 1999 in the context of the reorientation of urban policy, then led by the Workers' Party.Therefore, the study aims to identify the main explanatory linkages of this trajectory, not only through the analysis of the main Great Urban Projects that have been undertaken in the context of this mega event, as well as the urban development strategies and their promoters. It appears that these initiatives are no different from prevailing trends of contemporary urbanism, based on projective action of the city.

Tal trabalho traz uma apresentação dos estudos vinculados ao projeto Copa 2014 FrameNet Brasil, o qual se configura como um produto de inovação tecnológica e tem como principal objetivo desenvolver, em meio eletrônico, um dicionário temático trilíngue (Português - Inglês - Espanhol), destinado a usuários humanos, abrangendo os domínios do Futebol e do Turismo, baseado na Semântica de Frames. (SALOMÃO, M.M.M; TORRENT, T.T.; CAMPOS, F.C.A.; BRAGA, R.M.M. & VIEIRA, M.B., 2011). O projeto Copa 2014 FrameNet Brasil se caracteriza como um desdobramento do macro Projeto FrameNet Brasil que foi desenvolvido na UniversidadeFederaldeJuizdeFora em associação com o InternationalComputerScienceInstitute (EUA), que sedia o ProjetoFrameNet, que existe há mais de 10 anos na Universidade da Califórnia em Berkeley, e é liderado pelo professor Charles Fillmore. (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985) O Projeto FrameNet Brasil objetiva criar um recurso lexical on-line disponível para pesquisas sobre o Português do Brasil, baseado na semântica de frames e sustentado por evidência colhida em corpus (FILLMORE, 1982; 1985; GAWRON, 2008; e outros). Para a construção deste dicionário foi utilizada a metodologia top-down, a qual se caracteriza pela busca na FrameNet Americana de frames que atendem à temática proposta pelo mesmo, em conjunto com a metodologia bottom-up do projeto Kicktionary, na qual primeiramente as unidades lexicais (ULs) são identificadas nos corpora e em seguida atribuem-se funções micro temáticas aos elementos sintáticos relacionados e definem- se os frames evocados por aquelas ULs. As sentenças utilizadas na análise foram retiradas dos corpora FIFA e Cetenfolha, utilizando a ferramenta Word Sketch do Sketch Engine. O trabalho de descrição lexicográfica dos frames em questão contribuiu para o objetivo final do Projeto Copa 2014, que é o de descrever as estruturas conceptuais relacionadas ao domínio do Turismo e do Futebol nas três línguas alvo do dicionário. / The following paper intends to present the creation process of the frames TURISMO_COMO_EVENTO_ESPORTIVO as well as combinations of syntacticsemantic lexical units that evoke those frames. This paper brings a presentation of studies related to the project World Cup 2014 FrameNet Brazil, which is configured as a product of technological innovation and has as main objective to develop, electronically, a thematic trilingual dictionary (Portuguese - English - Spanish) for human users, covering the dominance of Soccer and Tourism, based on Semantic Frames. (SALOMÃO, M.M.M; TORRENT, T.T.; CAMPOS, F.C.A.; BRAGA, R.M.M. & VIEIRA, M.B., 2011). The project World Cup 2014 FrameNet Brazil is characterized as a deployment of the macro Project FrameNet Brazil that was being developed at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in association with the International Computer Science Institute (USA), which hosts the FrameNet Project, which has existed for more than 10 years at the University of California in Berkeley, and is led by Professor Charles Fillmore. The Project Brazil FrameNet aims to create a lexical resource available online for research on the Brazilian Portuguese, based on the semantics of frames and supported by evidence collected in corpus (FILLMORE, 1982, 1985; Gawron, 2008, and others). For the construction of this dictionary the top-down methodology was used, which is characterized by the American FrameNet pursuit of the frames that answer to the theme proposed by such, along with the bottom-up methodology of the Kicktionary project, in which first the lexical units (ULs) are identified in the corpora and afterwards micro thematic functions are ascribed to related syntactic elements and the frames evoked by those ULs are set up. The sentences used in the analysis were taken from the FIFA corpora and Centenfolha, using the tool Word Sketch from Sketch Engine. The paper about description of lexical frames in matter contributed to the ultimate goal of the 2014 World Cup Project, which is to describe the conceptual structures related to the dominance of Tourism and Soccer in the three target languages of the dictionary.

A lógica mercantil de organização dos megaeventos esportivos e a sua utilização como dispositivo econômico do capital de criação de novos nichos e demandas de serviços voltados à contenção da crise estrutural do capitalismo, revelam-se expressão dos interesses dos detentores do capital financeiro - empresários dos setores da construção civil e de serviços, por exemplo. Por sua vez, como acontece na história social e política brasileira, o preço a ser pago para o prevalecer de tal lógica de desenvolvimento urbano é debitado na conta dos setores desfavorecidos da população. Isso porque a organização desses eventos se vale da lógica da Gentrificação de setores da cidade, vale dizer, a incumbência de organizar o evento carrega em si a justificativa ideal para o "saneamento socioeconômico" do local, dele decorrendo a remoção desses espaços dos segmentos sociais ali assentados em épocas onde tais espaços urbanos não possuíam o valor econômico a eles hoje atribuídos. Muitos são os relatos de violações dos direitos da população local das cidades sedes de eventos esportivos de grande porte, como a Copa/FIFA se configura, e muitos são os grupos/movimentos sociais articulados a partir da temática desse evento debatendo, questionando e colocando em evidência a violação dos direitos sociais dessa população. Foi essa organização, suas características e ações, o objeto de nosso estudo. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho consistiu no mapeamento dos movimentos sociais que vêm fazendo o embate político contra aqueles responsáveis pelas ações contrárias aos interesses dos setores sociais desprivilegiados, discutindo os aspectos políticos, econômicos e principalmente sociais decorrentes da realização da Copa FIFA 2014 nas 12 cidades-sedes escolhidas. Foi possível constatar a existência de entidades e movimentos sociais aglutinadores dos reclamos de parcela da população prejudicada com os impactos nocivos a ela, dando voz e organizando a resistência através de mecanismos próprios e caros à luta popular / Abstract: The scenario of sporting mega events, already realized and yet to take place in Brazilian soil, from 2007 to 2016 evidence the emergency of model of city planning based on economical rationality and business management of the urban space. The market logic of the organization of these sporting mega events and its use as an economical device of the capital that generates new niches and demands of services in order to restrain the structural crisis of capitalism, turn to be the expression of the interests of those who possess financial capital - entrepreneurs of urban construction and service sectors, for example. On the other hand, as it is usual in social and political Brazilian history, the amount to be paid for this logic of urban development is debited to the account of the less privileged sectors of the population. The reason is that the organization of these events relies on the logic of Gentrification of the city sectors, that to say, the task of organizing the event brings along the ideal justification for "socioeconomic sanitation" of the place, from that elapsing the removal of social segments that were present there since the time when the area wasn¿t valued as high as it is nowadays. Many are the reports of violation of the rights of the local population of the host cities of large scale sporting events, as FIFA¿s Cup, and many are the groups-social movements articulated around the theme of this event that are debating, questioning and highlighting the violation of the social rights of this population. This organization, its characteristics and actions are the object of our study. Therefore, the objective of this work consisted in mapping the social movements that have been doing the political confrontation against those who are responsible for the impacts that oppose the interests of the less privileged social sectors, discussing the political, economic and, mainly the social aspects that derive from FIFA World Cup 2014 in the 12 Host Cities. It was possible to note the existence of entities and social movements that gather the claims of part of the population that was impaired by harmful impacts, giving voice and organizing the resistance leaning on their own mechanisms that are cherished by popular struggles / Mestrado / Educação Fisica e Sociedade / Mestra em Educação Física

Foram estudadas as características da imprensa regional, particularmente a do Brasil, e como os dois jornais se organizaram para cobrir a Copa do Mundo. Também foi observada a aplicação dos conceitos de agenda setting e espiral do silêncio aos megaeventos esportivos e a lógica de seleção e edição a partir da identificação de valores-notícia. No exame das matérias de A Tarde e A Crítica foi possível constatar que a identidade (da cidade, do estado e do Brasil) é importante para situar o estrangeiro visitante. Em A Tarde são analisadas as matérias que tratam da convivência entre a delegação alemã de futebol e a população local de Santa Cruz Cabrália, no sul da Bahia, que serviu de base para a seleção que conquistou a Copa do Mundo de futebol em 2014. A estratégia de aproximação com os moradores a partir da vivência de sua identidade marcou a cobertura de A Tarde e criou um clima simpático à seleção alemã. Música e dança, dois dos principais elementos formadores desta identidade nacional, estão presentes em várias matérias de A Tarde, que também associa os alemães a características atribuídas aos brasileiros, como amabilidade, cordialidade e boa convivência. Em A Crítica, foram analisadas as matérias que trataram da passagem de torcedores estrangeiros por Manaus e sua interação com a população da cidade, em relatos explorando a identidade do visitante por sua diferença daquela do habitante local. Também sofreram análise as matérias que trataram do legado da Copa, um assunto que ganhou espaço quando se encerrou a participação de Manaus, com o fim da fase de grupos, a quase três semanas da partida final. / This paper aims to investigate the sports supplements of the Brazilian newspapers A Tarde from Bahia e A Crítica from Amazonas during the Fifa World Cup Brazil 2014 trying to discover the parameters of the major sports events coverage by the regional media based on published texts and photos. The characteristics of the regional media, mainly the Brazilian regional press were analyzed as well the working organization adopted by the two newspapers in order to cover the Fifa World Cup. This work also exams the concepts of agenda setting and spiral of silence applied to the major sports events and the process of editing according the news values. Analyzing the articles of A Tarde and A Crítica we can establish how the identity (of the city, of the state and of the country) is important to the understanding of the foreigner. The articles of A Tarde concerning the social interaction between the German football delegation and the local people of Santa Cruz Cabrália, city of the state of Bahia where the 2014 world champion team was based during the Fifa World Cup Brazil 2014 were studied. The German strategy to incorporate the local identity and build social connections with the inhabitants influenced the coverage of A Tarde and created a good atmosphere in favor of the German team. Music and dance, two of the most important features of the Brazilian identity can be found in some of articles of A Tarde. The newspaper also relates to the Germans some Brazilian characteristics as kindness, cordialness and friendly relationship. This work also exams the articles of A Crítica concerning the visit to Manaus by the foreigner supporters and their social interaction with the local people showing the differences between their identities. The articles concerning the Fifa World Cup legacy played an special role after Manaus hosted its last match almost three weeks before the final game. Keywords:

South Africa 2010 and beyond : A study of how the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup affects South Africa's environmental efforts

Svensson, Sofia January 2009 (has links)
The study investigates South Africa’s actions and efforts within environmental and climate issues in relation to the country’s hosting of the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup. The investigation is conducted by applying idea analysis on the empirical material in order to highlight what ideas South Africa might have when it comes to environmental and climate related measures in connection to the World Cup. The two theories of Behavioralism and Rational Choice are to be compared in order to reveal the true reasons for South Africa’s environmental actions. In addition, an own-formulated hypothesis which claims that measures within environmental issues are improved due to the 2010 World Cup is tested against the empirical material. Results are presented as a review over what is being done today within environmental and climate issues in South Africa and these answers are then connected to the World Cup as it is analyzed concerning how the event affects the country’s policies and efforts within these areas. Finally, a concluding discussion states what role environmental and climate issues have in connection to a major sporting event such as the 2010 FIFA World Cup and how South Africa administers this opportunity to act accordingly and present itself to the rest of the world.

Hussein, Kaltum, Pehlić Ćehić, Sumeja January 2019 (has links)
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka och utforska de sociala, ekonomiska och ekologiska effekterna av att arrangera ett sportevenemang. Studien fokuserar på FIFA:s världsmästerskap 2014 och dess effekter på värdlandet Brasilien. Studien kommer att undersöka underliggande faktorer bakom idrottsevenemanget och om världsmästerskapet har bidragit eller hindrat utvecklingen av Brasiliens hållbara utveckling. FIFA-VM är det högst betraktade sportspektaklet som sammanför fotbollsfans över hela världen. VM associeras med glädje, stolthet, underhållning och har även en kulturell betydelse. Studien analyserar effekterna av att bygga och rekonstruera infrastruktur och arenor. Investeringar och statlig finansiering som kunde ha lagts på den offentliga sektorn såsom utbildning- och hälsosektorn lades istället på byggprojekt inför VM. Dessa byggprojekt medförde bland annat tvångsvräkningar, avhysning av människor, ökad marginalisering av människor, utnyttjande av billig arbetskraft och nedrivning av byggnader av historiskt och kulturellt värde. Resultatet belyser fördelar och nackdelar med att vara värd för VM. Studien undersöker även de ekonomiska fördelarna av att arrangera ett mega-evenemang såsom FIFA:s världsmästerskap. / This study aims to examine and explore the social, economic and ecological effects of hosting sports events. It will focus on the FIFA world cup 2014 and its effects on its host nation, Brazil. The study will explore the underlying factors behind the sports-event and whether the world cup has contributed or hindered the development of Brazils sustainable development. It seeks to understand the environmental impact of reconstructing infrastructure and implementation of arenas. The FIFA world cup is the highest viewed sports spectacle that connects football fans all over the world. It is strongly linked with joy, pride and entertainment that also holds cultural significance. In contrast, the preparation for hosting the world cup includes reconstructions of the city’s infrastructure. These redevelopment projects consisted of forced evictions, disposing of people, ostracization and further marginalization of people, cheap labor, demolishing buildings of historical and cultural value. Violations of human rights took place in order to host the event. It also diverted state funds from the education and health sector which were invested in building grandiose arenas. The result highlights the advantages and disadvantages of hosting the world cup. It will discover its effects on the country’s economy, whether it profits from hosting such an event.

South African host city volunteers' experiences of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™

Van Graan, Marteleze 26 August 2013 (has links)
The 2010 Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) World Cup (WC) would be the first time that a FIFA WC would be hosted on the African continent. This study was aimed at describing the South African City of Tshwane (COT) general volunteers’ experiences of volunteering at the 2010 FIFA WC. The FIFA Volunteer Programme consists of two groups of volunteers: Local Organising Committee (LOC) volunteers and each Host City (HC) volunteers. The COT volunteers are HC volunteers from the Tshwane Metropolitan Area (TMA). Volunteers are active in a variety of different contexts, namely in the community, volunteers at sport clubs or schools and also at mega sport events. Volunteers make it possible to host a mega sport event because they provide their time and effort without expecting remuneration or they receive a stipend amount. The existing literature of volunteers at mega sport events investigated what motivated volunteers to participate as well as how satisfied the volunteers were with the experience. The aim of this study was to describe COT general volunteers’ experiences of preparing (preparation phase) for the 2010 FIFA WC; COT general volunteers’ experiences during (participation phase) the 2010 FIFA WC, as well as the South African COT general volunteers’ experiences on their involvement (reflection phase) at the 2010 FIFA WC was described. The methodology employed in this study was Descriptive Phenomenology and the Duquesne Phenomenological Research Method was used to analyse the material. The differences between Descriptive Phenomenology and Interpretive Phenomenology were described. The material consisted of a written account as well as an interview, which was based on the essences that were portrayed in the written accounts. There were five participants — three spectator services volunteers and two rights protection volunteers. All of the participants were female. The findings of this study were divided into the preparation phase, participation phase and the reflection phase. In the preparation phase the COT general volunteers described two essences namely, the application process and training. In the participation phase the COT general volunteers experienced four essences namely, the working of shifts, interaction with volunteers, interaction with supervisors and lastly interaction with tourists. In the reflection phase the volunteers described two experiences, growth and value. This research project contributes to sport psychology because this study describes the experiences of volunteers at the 2010 FIFA WC. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Psychology / unrestricted

Vilka var vi som grävde guld i USA? : Om banal nationalism under fotbolls-VM 1994

Börjegren, Per January 2021 (has links)
Uppsatsens syfte har varit att studera uttryck för banal nationalism i svenska dagstidningar under världsmästerskapen i fotboll för herrar i USA 1994. Dels för att vidga begreppet nationalism, dels bidra med exempel på hur den kan synliggöras i vardagliga sammanhang och därigenom riskerar reproducera nationella föreställningar. Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk har varit Michael Billigs diskursteori banal nationalism med understöd av Marianne Winther Jørgensens och Louise Phillips begreppsmetaforer för nationella diskurser. För att kunna genomföra en fördjupad analys har uppsatsen haft kompletterande forskningsfrågor om hur Sveriges spelare och tränare samt hur Sveriges motståndarspelare och motståndartränare framställs i materialet. Empirin har bestått utav 157 publiceringar inklusive tidningarnas omslag fördelat över 26 utgåvor av Aftonbladet (9), Expressen (9) samt Dagens Nyheter (8). Analysen visar att banal nationalism i hög utsträckning, på ett till synes omedvetet sätt, varit del i utgåvornas publiceringar kring världsmästerskapen. De uttryck för banal nationalism som förekommer kan ses som försök till att skapa engagemang och intresse hos läsare, men dessa språkliga val bidrar likväl till att producera och reproducera en närmast självklar nationell gemenskap. Därtill är skildringar av Sveriges spelare och tränare likartad mellan tidningar och utgåvor, samt står i kontrast till skildringar av motståndare. De förstnämnda ges egenskaper såsom ödmjuka och lojala, kloka och beslutsamma. Motståndare porträtteras inte sällan som irrationella och oberäkneliga. Styrdokument och historiedidaktisk forskning föreskriver att en elevcentrerad undervisning bör bedrivas, vilket ställer krav på historielärare att vara förtrogen med begrepp som nationalism. Uppsatsen visar att nationella föreställningar på ett oreflekterat sätt kan produceras och reproduceras i till synes vardagliga sammanhang. Resultatet kan således anses bidra med ett angeläget perspektiv för blivande historielärare att reflektera över. / The purpose of this essay has been to study expressions of banal nationalism in Swedish media during the World Cup in the United States 1994. It is meant to expand the knowledge of nationalism in day-to-day life, and how nationalistic ideas might be reproduced and reinforced. The theoretic framework of this essay relies on Michael Billigs discourse theory of banal nationalism, supplemented by Marianne Winther Jørgensens and Louise Phillips theories on metaphors in relation to national discourse. The investigated material consists of 157 different kinds of publications including first pages spread over 26 issues of Aftonbladet (9), Expressen (9) and Dagens Nyheter (8). The analysis shows that banal nationalism is prominent in the issue’s printed materials during the World Cup. The portrayals of Swedish’s players and coach are similar between newspapers and issues and stand in stark contrast to portrayals of the opponents. First mentioned are characterized as humble, loyal, wise and determined. Opponents are often characterized as unpredictable and inconstant. These expressions can be seen as attempts to create engagement and involvement, but nevertheless they´re also a part of producing and reproducing an almost self-explanatory national community. Ruling school documents and history didactic research shows that student-centered learning is preferrable, which demands a history teacher who is confidant with terms like nationalism. This essay shows that national conceptions can be produced and reproduced in ordinary life situations, in a seemingly unreflected way. The results can therefore be considered a meaningful perspective for soon-to-be history teachers to reflect upon.
