Previous issue date: 2015-08-20 / CAPES / This paper aims to promote literary literacy in a class of 7th grade of elementary school of a school teaching the public, in compliance with Law no. 10.639 / 03, that determinate the teaching of History and Afro-Brazilian culture in all schools of the national territory. Especially for Afro-Brazilians, social inequalities are a daily reality, which is motivated by a segregated socio-cultural heritage, exalting Europeans and whites attributes as superior to those of African origin, particularly with regard to the identity value and the concept of beauty at its most evident or subtle aspects. Because the school is the environment where young people are prepared for citizenship, she has a duty to extensively discuss these issues, avoiding continue to be an area of conflict and reproduction of racial stereotypes, instead, making it a prime location to exchange experiences that open possibilities for discussion and positive interventions. The literature, from the literary literacy, contributes making possible the formation of conscious readers, critics and participants of reframing process of afro-Brazilian culture. Therefore, in order to appropriation and affirmation of a positive ethnic identity from tales of contemporary afro-Brazilian literature, the research initially applied to a class of 7th grade elementary school a semi-structured questionnaire with objective and subjective questions, in order to consider the degree of knowledge of students on the theme here studied, followed by the realization of didactic sequences with activities focused on the afro-Brazilian literature, seeking to promote the redefinition of identity and black beauty, by reading and discussion of selected works. The results point to the need for greater attention in schools in relation to this issue in order to get the African-Brazilian literature as a source that contributes to the rescue of history, culture and Brazilian ethnic and racial identity; better initial and continuing training of teachers to act as mediators of the ethnic-racial relations in class and collaborative search of all stakeholders to the effectiveness of the proposals and reframing of curriculum in order to comply with legislation and assist for the individual identity recognition of students and deconstruction of racist and discriminatory ethics in Brazil. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo promover o letramento literário em uma turma do 7° ano do ensino fundamental de uma escola da rede pública de ensino, em observância à Lei nº. 10.639/03, que torna obrigatório o ensino da História e Cultura Afro-brasileira em todas as escolas do território nacional. Especialmente no caso de afrodescendentes brasileiros, as desigualdades sociais são uma realidade diária, motivada por uma herança sociocultural segregadora e que exalta os atributos europeus e brancos como sendo superiores aos da matriz africana, em especial no que diz respeito à valorização identitária e à noção de beleza em seus aspectos mais evidentes ou mais sutis. Por ser a escola o ambiente onde os jovens são preparados para a cidadania, tem o dever de discutir amplamente esses temas, evitando continuar sendo um espaço de conflitos e reprodução de estereótipos raciais, antes, tornando-se um local privilegiado de troca de experiências que abram possiblidades para discussões e intervenções positivas. A literatura, a partir do letramento literário, contribui tornando possível a formação de leitores conscientes, críticos e participantes de processos de ressignificação da cultura afro-brasileira. Por isso, visando à apropriação e afirmação de uma identidade étnica positiva a partir de contos da literatura afro-brasileira contemporânea, a pesquisa inicialmente aplicou a uma turma do 7º ano do ensino fundamental um questionário semiestruturado com perguntas objetivas e subjetivas, com o intuito de considerar o grau de conhecimento dos discentes sobre a temática aqui estudada, seguido da realização de sequências didáticas com atividades que focaram a literatura afro-brasileira, buscando promover a ressignificação da identidade e da beleza negra, mediante a leitura e discussão de obras selecionadas. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de maior atenção nas escolas no que concerne a esta temática, a fim de se buscar a literatura afro-brasileira como fonte de contribuição para o resgate da história, cultura e da identidade étnico-racial brasileira; melhor formação inicial e continuada dos docentes para agirem como mediadores das relações étnico-raciais em sala de aula e busca conjunta de todos os atores sociais na efetividade das propostas e ressignificação do currículo a fim de cumprir a legislação e auxiliar para o reconhecimento identitário individual dos alunos e desconstrução das éticas racistas e discriminatórias no Brasil.

"But they do not suffer less because they have no words" : En analys av djurrätt i Black Beauty och Charlotte's Web / "But they do not suffer less because they have no words"Sörbom, Amanda January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur djurrättstankar skildras i de två välkända barnböckerna Black Beauty och Charlotte’s Web. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån frågeställningar som fokuserar på hur relationen mellan djur och människa ser ut,hur djurrättstankar kommuniceras i böckerna och vilka likheter/skillnader det finns i behandlingen av djuren i de båda böckerna. Tidigare forskning på djurrättsfrågor i barn- och ungdomslitteratur har haft ett brett perspektiv och fokuserat på hur olika djurrättsfrågor tagits upp i olika skönlitterära exempel. Tidigare forskning av Black Beauty har fokuserat på relationen mellan människa och djur. Den fokuserar på hur den påverkas av speciesism och av att människan dominerar. Tidigare analys av Charlotte’s Web har fokuserat på grisens subjektivitet och hur det är människornas påminnelse av denna som räddar Wilburs liv.I uppsatsen görs en kvalitativ analys där mening försöker hittas i texterna för att få en förståelse av hur djurrätt framställs i böckerna- Uppsatsen gör även en analys av relationen mellan text och bild i Charlotte’s web, samt en komparativ analys mellan de båda verken. Uppsatsen utgår ifrån ett ekokritiskt perspektiv där bland annat begreppet antropomorfisering är relevant. Critical Animal Studies är också en relevant teori för uppsatsen och framförallt begreppet speciesism. Analysen visar på hur djurrättstankarna förmedlas genom hur djuren i böckerna uttrycker sina känslor och att slakt och djurmisshandel problematiseras. Budskapen i verken är att djur vill leva och må bra och att det lönar sig att vara vänlig mot djuren då djuren i böckerna belönar vänlighet med vänskap. Båda böckerna förmedlar också djurens subjektivitet och att djuren har ett eget värde och inte bara ett värde i vad de kan göra för människan.

My Black is Beautiful: A Study of How Hair is Portrayed in Children's and Young Adult LiteratureWebley, Quacy-Ann 01 May 2015 (has links)
This research seeks to examine how authors represent Black/African-American beauty in children’s literature. To conduct my research, I have chosen to review Natasha Tarpley’s I Love My Hair and Carolivia Herron’s Nappy Hair in conjunction with Zora Neale Hurston’s young adult novel Their Eyes Were Watching God. The objective of my thesis aims to highlight the emphasis authors place on Black/African-American children’s hair and the cultural differences in their perceptions of Afro-beauty. Today, society expends extensive time and interest in outward appearances through media: television, radio, digital media, and fashion magazines. As a result, Black/African-American adolescent and teen girls become overly concerned with their beauty and face extreme pressure to fit into the dominant cultures definition of beauty: ‘lighter skin, slender nose, slim body frame, and straight hair.’ Black/African-American girls who fall short of the prescribed characteristics of beauty become psychologically impaired with their self-confidences; sometimes refusing to embrace their own features or invest extensively in beauty care products to conform to the dominant beliefs of beauty. I have provided a summary of the focused literature for the benefit of readers who not have had the opportunity to read the previously mentioned texts along with a sample lesson plan.

Att argumentera med och mot samtiden : En studie kring argumentation i Black BeautyUnga, Thea January 2024 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to give a deeper understanding of Anna Sewell’s argumentation for a changed view on animals in her book Black Beauty and Sewell’s contribution to the animal welfare debate. The questions addressed in the study is: What arguments does Sewell present for a changed view on animals? What contemporary assumptions does Sewell challenge? Against what contemporary assumptions does her argument become effective? To answer these questions the material that are examined is Sewell’s book Black Beauty: His Grooms and Companions, the Autobiography of a Horse (1877), first published in England. The theoretical perspective is that the book’s influence on the debate only is effective through two factors which is Sewell’s argumentation and the contemporary conditions that affected her way of arguing. These two factors become effective through interaction. The method used is a rhetorical analysis because it takes hold on text and context. Prior research has found through their perspective that the horses in Sewell’s book represent humans. But this study argues that the horses in Sewell’s book represent horses and that the book argues for a change in the way human’s attitude towards animals. The analysis in this study shows that Sewell’s argumentation can be divided into four categories of the contemporary ethics and context’s: Christianity, socialism, critique off fashion and machine. The conclusion drawn from the study is that Sewells arguments for a changed view on animals is based on these four categories where she must argue with and against them.

Femmes noires sur papier glacé. Les ambiguïtés de la "presse féminine noire" / Black women on glossy paper. The "black women's magazine" ambiguitiesSassoon, Virginie 29 November 2011 (has links)
Cette thèse s'intéresse à la "presse féminine noire", c'est-à-dire aux magazines qui s'adressent à des femmes partageant l'expérience sociale d'être perçues comme noires. Elle se fonde sur une analyse des contenus, nourrie par une enquête auprès de lectrices et des producteurs des magazines Amina, Miss Ebène et Brune en France. Entreprises commerciales et supports d'identification, ces médias témoignent de l'existence de consommatrices mais aussi de lectrices en quête de reconnaissance sociale. Leurs ressources publicitaires et leurs conditions de production révèlent une "ligne de couleur" dans la presse féminine française. Ces magazines, qui sont également distribués en Afrique francophone et aux Antilles, s’inscrivent dans un espace qui déborde les frontières nationales tout en assignant leur lectorat à un "entre soi". Les ambiguïtés des représentations qu'ils véhiculent sont inhérentes à la nécessité de relier l'ici à l'ailleurs, de valoriser des singularités phénotypiques tout en se conformant aux critères hégémoniques de la beauté et de soutenir l'émancipation féminine tout en conservant des spécificités culturelles. Cette recherche soulève plus largement les enjeux relatifs à la reconnaissance des minorités comme productrices et réceptrices des médias dans un contexte politique marqué par un idéal universaliste qui ne reconnaît pas leur existence. / The focus of this thesis is on magazines addressing women sharing the social experience of being perceived as black. It is based on a content analysis, fuelled by enquiries on the producers and readers of magazines Amina, Miss Ebène and Brune in France. These magazines are also distributed in francophone Africa and in the Caribbean. Commercial companies and identification supports, these magazine bear witness of the existence of the consumers but also of readers in search of social recognition. The advertising resources and the production conditions of the media reveal the existence of a “colour line” in the French women’s press. The analysis of the representations conveyed by each magazine reveals ambiguities, as much as in the contents as in the positioning, inherent to the need of linking the here and elsewhere promoting phenotypic singularities while conforming to the hegemonic criteria of beauty, supporting the emancipation of women while preserving cultural characteristics. This work, more broadly, raises issues concerning the recognition of minorities as producers and receptors of the media in a political context marked by a Universalist ideal that does not recognize their existence.

Previous issue date: 2017-03-29 / Nenhuma / Esta dissertação visa tratar sobre as interações entre novas mercadorias de consumo e a beleza negra, mais especificamente o cabelo crespo, levando-se em conta os estudos já realizados sobre a estética negra, assim como a agenda do feminismo negro. Através de uma etnografia em eventos como o CacheiaSul e a Marcha do Orgulho Crespo em Porto Alegre, assim como uma etnografia digital em canais do Youtube que tratam sobre cabelos crespos, busca-se compreender a relação entre o consumo de produtos para o cabelo crespo e a construção de uma beleza negra pelas mulheres negras. Interessa contextualizar o processo de busca das mulheres negras pelo reconhecimento nas dimensões estética, política e social, além de observar e analisar a possível construção da identidade estética das mulheres negras através das novas mercadorias de consumo para cabelos crespos. Deste modo, busca-se analisar a possível construção e afirmação estética das mulheres negras através da possibilidade de criação e interação em vídeos disponíveis no Youtube. O intuito de fazer uma etnografia digital, que se relaciona também a militância fora das redes sociais, é de compreender os usos dos produtos, além das relações entre as mulheres negras, as mídias, e as novas mercadorias estéticas, a fim de perceber possíveis espaços de visibilidade para a beleza negra através do consumo. Por fim, visa-se analisar esta interação na tentativa de compreender dimensões da estética negra percebidas também como resistência política e social pelas mulheres negras. / This dissertation aims to deal with the interactions between new forms of consumption and black beauty, more specifically curly hair, taking into account the studies already carried out on black aesthetics, as well as the agenda of black feminism. Through an ethnography in events such as CacheiaSul and the Marcha do Orgulho Crespo in Porto Alegre, as well as a digital ethnography on YouTube channels that deal with curly hair, we seek to understand the relationship between the consumption of products for curly hair and the building of a black beauty by the black women. It is interesting to contextualize the process of black women's search for recognition in the aesthetic, political and social dimensions, besides observing and analyzing the possible construction of the aesthetic identity of the black woman through the new aesthetic consumer goods. In this way, we seek to analyze the possible construction and aesthetic affirmation of the black women through the possibility of creation and interaction in videos available on Youtube. The purpose of making a digital ethnography, wich also relates to militancy outside social networks, is to understand uses of products, relations between black women, media, and new aesthetic products, in order to perceive possible new spaces of visibility for black beauty through consumption. Finally, it aims to analyze this interaction in the attempt to understand dimensions of the black aesthetics also seem as political and social resistance by black women.

IF THIS SHOP COULD TALK: A DISCURSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE LIBERATORY FUNCTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICAN AMERICAN BEAUTY SALONS AND CULTUREWeaver, Shané January 2021 (has links)
“If This Shop Could Talk: A Discursive Analysis of The Liberatory Function and Development of African American Beauty Salons and Culture” explores the intersection of political consciousness, aesthetics, and community development engendered in quintessential and atypical locales of African American beauty culture with an emphasis on the African American beauty salon as a discursive space. As it seeks to expand limited understandings of African American beauty culture, this analysis employs Afrocentric, Black Feminist, and Womanist theoretical perspectives as it traverses temporal and geographic boundaries. As proclamations of Black pride and beauty are juxtaposed in present day society against a multitude of headlines that detail stories of discrimination based upon hair, this work addresses matters of how and why Africana women assert such prideful proclamations amidst injustice. How do African American women know that there is power in beauty? Why do African American women believe such a thing? Why do African American women engage in beauty culture and beauty salons?
This work focuses on 20th through 21st century America, by exploring Black beauty culture concepts and byproducts including trends, styles, community activism, and consciousness as connected to African history in Kemet, African history in West Africa prior to the Transatlantic slave trade, and African history in America between the 16th and 21st centuries. This work employs discourse analysis and Afronography to reveal and assert the existence of a unique epistemology within Africana women’s beauty culture that has been employed in the subversion of oppression and the assertion of Black female identity in America. An Afronographic research study accompanies this analysis and represents qualitative findings from interviews conducted with women who identify as persons of African descent and members of intergenerational family beauty practice, where women in their families preceded them in beauty service provision. The researcher’s perspective is also included throughout the work as she is a licensed cosmetologist and member of an intergenerational family of beauty practice. Ultimately, this work suggests that there is a unique, significant, and sacred agency that exists in the phenomena, traditions, history, and locations of African American beauty culture which has generated aesthetic creations in hair, skin and nails that rhetorically shift paradigms, in addition to words, actions, and feelings that foster an epistemology that can aid in the liberation of Africans in the United States and abroad. / African American Studies

Min kära lilla ponny : Hästbokens utveckling från Black Beauty till Sigge / My dear little pony : The evolution of the horse book from Black Beauty to SiggeRosenqvist, Jessica January 2023 (has links)
The horse-book is a literary genre which is considered very popular among young girls. Black Beauty (1877) by Anna Sewell is the very first horse-book and was therefore what started the genre. It is highly different from the horse-books of today which is what this paper looks at to see how the genre has evolved. This is done by comparing Sewell’s novel to Britta och Silver (1966) by Lisbeth Pahnke and Alla älskar Sigge (2004) by Lin Hallberg. This is done by looking at how these novels are alike and different from one another with connection to the horse and the human. And how it differs when the horse is the narrator as compared to when the human takes the narrating role. In Black Beauty the horse is telling its life story and how humans treat the horse as some of the people in the novel are cruel towards horses. Many of the dangerous moments are caused by the humans being mean towards the horse. Whereas in the other books it is pure accident, the danger also mildens. In Britta och Silver there are mainly riding accidents but also a death incident where a horse dies. In Alla älskar Sigge the most dangerous thing that happens is that a pony gets so sick that it must go to the hospital where it is cured. These dangers getting milder is connected to how the genre is targeted towards a younger audience nowadays. In all three books there is also a clear boy-girl relationship between horse and human. The narrative makes how the human girl views the male horse sound like a description of a love interest. This makes the genre heteronormative. And with the narrative switching from the horse to the human there is also shown more of the human’s relations to one another and rivalry in the stable.
