La première décennie du XXIe siècle est une période charnière dans l’histoire des représentations du vieillir et de l’être vieux. Durant les années 2000, le cinéma hollywoodien offre de nouvelles images du vieillir, moins alarmistes, moins stéréotypées, en somme plus positives. Non plus systématiquement relégué au second plan, le personnage âgé se fait une place parmi les héros hollywoodiens. Le vieillir n’est alors plus dissimulé, mais mis à l’honneur, dans ces films portés par un héros âgé. Par leur présence et leur visibilité dans ce cinéma hautement commercial, ces nouveaux personnages vieillissants signalent un phénomène majeur : durant les années 2000, le vieillir devient commercialement profitable, notamment car se reconnaît dans ces films une génération exceptionnelle par de nombreux aspects, celle des baby-boomers. Par ailleurs, au travers de ces nouvelles représentations du vieillir se fait jour une transformation sociétale plus large avec l’avènement d’un nouveau rapport à la vieillesse, le « vieillir nouveau », qui substitue aux clichés âgistes et à l’idée du vieillir comme déclin un discours positif sur la vieillesse. Cette étude, circonscrite aux films hollywoodiens à succès de la période 2000-2010, propose de mettre en lumière ces nouvelles représentations hollywoodiennes du vieillir et la façon dont le cinéma s’est fait ainsi l’écho de discours innovants sur la question tout en tentant d’offrir sa propre version d’un vieillir nouveau. / The first decade of the 21st century marks a transition in the history of the representations ofaging and old age. In the 2000s, Hollywood started offering new images of aging : less alarmist, less stereotypical, they are, all in all, more positive. As he is no longer pushed in the background,the aging character finds his way amid Hollywood heroes. In those films, which are carried by an old hero, aging is no longer concealed, but it is put in the spotlight. By their mere presence and visibility in such commercial cinema, these new aging characters signal a major shift : in the2000s, aging has become bankable, especially since its new portrayals speak to a generation which stands out on many different levels, the baby boomers. Besides, a wider social transformation shows through these innovative representations of aging, that of a new relationship to aging. “New aging” thus discards ageist clichés and the idea that aging isdeclining, and supplants these conceptions with a positive discourse on aging. This study revolves around popular Hollywood movies released between 2000 and 2010. It offers to shed a light on these new Hollywood representations of aging and on the way cinema has thus echoed innovative discourses on the matter, while attempting to offer its own version of a new outlook on aging.

In this thesis the intricacies of service user and staff perceptions of psychological interventions for mental health difficulties were explored. Expanding upon this theme, mothers and staff on a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) were asked about their views regarding the acceptability and feasibility of the implementation of a parenting intervention, Baby Triple P Positive Parenting Programme (Baby TP). This investigation is presented as four papers: a literature review, two empirical papers (a & b) and, a critical review and personal reflection of the research process.The literature review, a meta-synthesis of qualitative studies, explores service user and staff perceptions of psychological interventions for mental health difficulties. Twenty-eight studies were synthesised to develop comprehensive understanding of subtle, specific and overlapping elements involved in the implementation of psychological intervention. Guided by Noblit and Hare’s (1988) approach, 11 over-arching themes and 25 sub-ordinate themes emerged from the synthesis. Findings provide a detailed description of the concepts pertinent to both service users and staff. Implications are identified for service managers and clinicians in obtaining optimum efficiency and outcomes of psychological intervention. The empirical study is a Q-methodological investigation into service user and staff perceptions of the acceptability and feasibility of a parenting intervention, Baby TP, on a MBU. This study is split into two population-specific papers. Overall five main factors were identified (service users: three; staff: two), which provides new insights into the acceptable and feasible elements of a parenting intervention within this specialist setting. The findings highlight a positive consensus as to the acceptability and feasibility of Baby TP in a MBU setting alongside a number of identified needs pertinent to service users, staff and the setting. Clinical implications and recommendations are provided to address identified areas of need for both populations within this setting. The third paper is a critical review of the thesis illustrated through personal reflections of the research process.

Orientador: Renata Junqueira de Souza / Resumo: Esta tese, intitulada “Bebeteca: engatinhando entre livros”, está vinculada à Linha 2, “Processos Formativos, Ensino e Aprendizagem”, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT) da Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), de Presidente Prudente - SP. A bebeteca é um ambiente de leitura que abriga crianças pequenas, de zero a três anos de idade, com a função de aproximá-las das práticas de leitura e da função social da biblioteca, considerando as dimensões dos gestos embrionários de leitura: Espaço-temporal; Modal; Objetal e Relacional (GIROTTO; SOUZA, 2015). A partir de um estudo prévio, percebemos que no Brasil, no ano de 2018, existiam pouco mais de setenta escolas das redes de ensino públicas e particulares que contavam com tal espaço e, em nosso ambiente de estudo, eram apenas duas. Diante dessa realidade, consideramos a necessidade de estudar e de conhecer melhor as singularidades da bebeteca na formação dos bebês leitores, de modo a contribuir para expansão desses espaços. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é caracterizar a configuração de bebetecas e de mediação de leitura a partir das etapas de desenvolvimento infantil e suas necessidades e verificar como as auxiliares de biblioteca escolar do sistema municipal de ensino participantes do curso de “Dinamização dos Espaços de Leitura” concebem/organizam espaço e acervo para coletivamente propor mudanças que construam uma bebeteca real. Os objetivos específicos são: investigar co...

The baby’s first library is a reading environment in which houses infants and toddlers, from age zero up to three years, in the sole function of bringing them closer to the reading practices, and the social function of a library, considering the dimensions of the reading practice embryonic gestures: Time-space; Modal; Object and Relational (GIROTTO; SOUZA, 2015). From a previous study, we noticed that in the year of 2018, in Brazil, there were slightly more than seventy public and private schools that had the aforementioned room of a baby’s first library, and in our study place, there were only two. Facing this reality, we considered the necessity of studying and knowing better the singularities of a baby’s first library related to the building tof baby readers, in order to contribute to the expansion of these rooms. The main objective of this research is to describe the setting of a baby’s first library, the reading mediation stemming from the early childhood development stages and its needs, and to verify how the school library assistants in the local teaching system and participant schools ...

[pt] Este estudo buscou identificar como mulheres de baixa renda, das gerações Baby Boomers e Millennials, interpretam e reagem à mudança do papel feminino nos contos de Disney e a sua influência na percepção da marca. Foram conduzidas dezesseis entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres, moradoras do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de lembranças e experiências vividas das entrevistadas em relação a marca e aos filmes, e empregando também dois filmes previamente selecionados que marcaram as duas gerações, Cinderela (1950) e Frozen (2014), foram obtidos resultados que apresentaram evidências de diferentes reações e identificações, provocadas pelas princesas nos filmes, denotando papéis sociais femininos dentro da sociedade. A geração a que pertencem e o nível socioeconômico das entrevistadas parece influenciar em suas reações. / [en] This study aimed to identify how low-income women, representatives of the Baby Boomers and Millennials generations interpret and react to the changing role of women in Disney tales and their influence on brand perception. Sixteen in-depth interviews were conducted with women from Rio de Janeiro State. From the memories and lived experiences of the interviewees regarding the brand and the films, and also employing two previously selected films that marked the two generations, Cinderela (1950) and Frozen (2014), results were obtained that showed evidence of different reactions and identifications provoked by the princesses in the movies, denoting female social roles within society. The generation to which they belong and the socioeconomic level of the interviewees seem to influence their reactions.

Postpartum psychopathology is a well-documented risk factor for impaired mother-infant bonding and thus child development. Increasingly, the focus of research in this area lies on maternal adverse childhood experiences that mothers bring into the relationship with their own baby, especially regarding the possible intergenerational transmission of traumatic experiences. Several studies showed that there is no direct link between child maltreatment and mother-infant bonding as one part of mother-child relationship, but that this link is mediated by postpartum psychopathology. To date, few studies examined differential effects between sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and physical and emotional neglect, especially in a clinical sample. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the relationship between child maltreatment, psychopathology, and mother-infant bonding can be found for different forms of child maltreatment in patients of a mother-baby unit. Our sample consisted of 330 mothers of a mother-baby-unit in a psychosomatic clinic, who filled out self-report measures at time of admission. Mothers reported on maternal child maltreatment history with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, on current psychopathology with the Brief Symptom Inventory, and on mother-infant bonding with the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire. Mediation analyses were performed with psychopathology as mediator, child maltreatment history as independent, and mother-infant bonding as dependent variable. There was no total effect of child maltreatment on mother-infant bonding. However, there were significant indirect effects of child maltreatment in general (ab = 0.09) and of the various forms of child maltreatment on mother-infant bonding via psychopathology (0.16 ≤ ab ≤ 0.34). The strongest effect was found for emotional abuse. After controlling for psychopathology, the direct effect of physical abuse on mother-infant bonding presented as a negative significant effect. This indicates that the more severe the physical abuse experienced, the better the self-reported bonding. A similar, but non-significant trend was found for sexual abuse. Our findings highlight the importance of assessing neglect forms of child maltreatment as well as abuse in women during the perinatal period. It further supports initial findings that different forms of child maltreatment can have differential effects on mother-infant bonding as one aspect of the mother-child relationship. Further research should include observational data to compare with self-report measures.

À cause de son poids démographique, mais aussi des valeurs qui distinguent ses membres, le vieillissement de la génération du baby-boom est susceptible d’avoir un impact majeur sur l’offre et la demande en transport, surtout en ce qui concerne la participation aux activités de loisirs d’individus fortement mobiles et établis sur des territoires conçus en fonction de l’automobile. C’est dans ce contexte que ce mémoire vise à mieux comprendre la participation à certaines activités de loisirs hors domicile (sociales, sportives, culturelles et de magasinage) de la première génération de baby-boomers, celle née entre 1947 à 1956, ainsi que la mobilité quotidienne qui y est associée, afin d’anticiper leurs besoins à un âge avancé pour un vieillissement actif. À l’aide des données de l’enquête Demain Québec, des modèles de régression ont été construits afin d’identifier les facteurs d’influence les plus associés à la diversité d’activités poursuivies par les baby-boomers, à la fréquence de pratique de celles-ci, au mode de transport utilisé et à la distance parcourue pour rejoindre les lieux de destination. Les résultats suggèrent que plusieurs caractéristiques et valeurs personnelles sont significativement associées au niveau d’activités pratiquées, laissant anticiper une demande accrue pour une offre de loisirs diversifiée. La majorité des activités sont pratiquées loin du domicile, voire dispersées sur un territoire qui déborde largement du quartier de résidence, et fréquenté en automobile. Vu le poids démographique et les aspirations dominantes des baby-boomers à vieillir chez eux ou dans leur quartier, les stratégies d’aménagement du territoire devraient prioriser la requalification des lieux et des équipements de loisirs en place dans les secteurs vieillissants, notamment les banlieues d’après-guerre, une localisation stratégique de nouveaux équipements et lieux de loisirs et leur accessibilité via des modes de transport alternatifs.
