Por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, investiga-se, de início, a evolução das formas de ingresso na estrutura administrativa do Estado e o histórico do concurso público no Brasil, desde uma perspectiva crítica, tendo como referencial os critérios de moralidade, gualitarismo, tecnicismo e cientificismo no recrutamento de pessoas com vistas ao atendimento das necessidades da sociedade. Utiliza-se como referencial teórico à análise crítica do instituto do concurso os princípios da Teoria da Justiça de John Rawls e a tríade básica e clássica da cidadania de T.H. Marshall: direitos civis, direitos políticos e direitos sociais. Parte-se do pressuposto de que o acesso igualitário aos cargos e empregos do poder estatal por meio do concurso público é uma forma democrática de interferência do cidadão no planejamento,execução e controle das políticas voltadas para o atendimento das necessidades da coletividade, especialmente quando se trata de ingresso nas carreiras exclusivas de Estado, em decorrência do seu caráter estratégico para a Administração Pública. Na seqüência, analisa-se especialmente o caso prático envolvendo estas carreiras específicas, ocorrido no Estado da Bahia, por meio das leis 8.210/2002 e 11.470/2009, para, ao final, constatar que o governante não pode mitigar ou transferir atribuições privativas das carreiras dos Auditores Fiscais para serem exercidas por outro cargo, pois constitucionalmente consideradas essenciais ao funcionamento do Estado, portanto indelegáveis, por força do art. 37, inciso XXII da atual Carta Magna. Ainda, referida transferência de atribuições, regra geral travestida de reestruturação de carreiras, encoberta a mais nova modalidade de patrimonialismo, burla o instituto do concurso público previsto no art. 37, II da Lei Maior e contraria os demais princípios republicanos estampados no caput do art. 37 da Constituição Federal de 1988. Por fim, diante deste quadro, observou-se a participação política dos cidadãos e de entidades da sociedade civil, bem como dos órgãos de controle e jurisdicionais na defesa do instituto do concurso público, da igualdade de oportunidades no acesso ao poder estatal e dos demais princípios constitucionais norteadores da Administração Pública Brasileira. / The purpose of this paper is to identify the institution of public competition in the universe of public policies to develop the exercise of citizenship. Through bibliographical and documental research, initially the evolution of the manners of access to the administrative structure of the State and the history of public competitions in Brazil, through a critical perspective, having as reference the criteria of morality, egalitarianism, technological and scientific abilities in personnel recruitment aimed at meeting the necessities of society. Theoretical reference of the principles of the Theory of Justice by John Rawls and the basic and classical triad of citizenship by T. H. Marshall: civil rights, political rights and social rights are used for the critical analysis of the institution of competitions. Starting from the presumption that the egalitarian access to the positions and employment by the state power through public competitions is the democratic way for the citizen to interfere in the planning, execution and political control of policies aimed at meeting the needs of citizens, specially regarding entry into carriers exclusive to the State, in light of their strategic character to Public dministration. A specific case involving these specific carriers occurred in the State of Bahia is analyzed through Laws 8.210/2002 and 11.470/2009, to finally perceive that the governor cannot mitigate or transfer attributions privy to the carriers of fiscal employees to be carried out by another position, because these are constitutionally considered essential to the functioning of the State, therefore cannot be delegated, by force of art. 37, item XXII of the present Constitution. Further, said transfer of attributions, generally cloaked under carrier restructuring, hides the newest mode of patrimonialism, sidesteps the institution of public competition foreseen in art. 37, II of the Constitution and contradicts the other republican principles listed in the opening paragraph of art. 37 of the Federal Constitution of 1988. Finally, in view of this scenario, it was noted that the political participation of the citizenry and civil society, as well as of the control and jurisdictional organs in defense of public competitions, in defense of equal opportunities of access to state power and the other constitutional principles are the guiding principles of the Brazilian Public Administration.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to work out how students of soloist music education construct their identities in their life stories and what they narrate about the meaning of significant persons, instrumental teachers and instrumental studies for the advancement of their studies. In addition, it was worked out what the soloist students narrate about their performances in music competitions and how recognition achieved in music competitions appears in their stories. Research problems were solved by using narrative-biographical approach and the data were collected by interviewing five students in the soloist department at the Sibelius Academy. Three of them were interviewed five times and two of them four times. The data were collected during the years 1999-2002. The analysis of the data has been done both horizontally (thematic analysis) and vertically (narrative analysis). In the present study the construction of identity is regarded both as a social identity project and as a personal identity project. Social interaction with significant persons and recognition achieved through successful studies and music competitions are regarded as essential factors in the construction of identity. So, the experiences achieved during the long process of instrumental studies are an important element in the construction of identity. The Finnish instrumental education system establishes the essential context in which the life stories of the students take place and the identities of the students are constructed. The students who participated in the present study have begun instrument playing early before starting school, but for a long time it has been one hobby among others. In many descriptions one particular instrumental teacher is regarded as a key person for the orientation of the studies. With the support of a teacher of this kind instrumental studies have become professional. At the beginning of soloist studies the main motivation for music studies is pleasure of playing, not any special professional mission. When the studies continue, the identity of a student begins to be constructed to be e.g. that of a chamber musician or a musician. In the present culture music competitions have become one of the most important ways of getting social respect and recognition for one?s talent in music society. The students who participated in this study have begun their competing at high school age. The present study reveals competitions to be very essential but also conflicting events in the lives of the students. Some students even regard competitions as the most important events from the point of view of orientating to professional studies. On the other hand, competitions and preparing for them during the studies may have been felt to be phases of extreme stress and to cause feelings of insufficiency. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää, miten solistisen koulutuksen musiikinopiskelijat rakentavat identiteettiään omaa elämäänsä kuvaavissa kertomuksissa ja mitä he kertovat merkittävien ihmisten, soitonopettajien ja soitonopiskelun merkityksestä opintojensa etenemiselle. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa selvitettiin, mitä musiikinopiskelijat kertovat osallistumisestaan musiikkikilpailuihin ja miten heidän kertomuksissaan tulee esiin kilpailuissa saatu tunnustus. Tutkimusongelmia selvitettiin narratiivis-elämäkerrallista tutkimusotetta käyttäen, ja aineistona oli viiden Sibelius-Akatemian solistisen koulutuksen opiskelijan haastattelut. Tutkimuksen kuluessa kolmea opiskelijaa haastateltiin viisi kertaa ja kahta opiskelijaa neljä kertaa. Tutkimusaineisto kerättiin vuosien 1999-2002 aikana. Aineiston analyysi tehtiin sekä horisontaalisesti (temaattisesti) että vertikaalisesti (narratiivinen analyysi). Tutkimuksessa identiteetin rakentumista tarkasteltiin sekä sosiaalisena että persoonallisena identiteettiprojektina. Identiteetin rakentumisessa pidetään osaltaan olennaisina sosiaalista vuorovaikutusta merkittävien ihmisten kanssa sekä opintosuoritusten ja kilpailujen kautta saatavaa tunnustusta. Opiskelijoiden identiteetin rakentumisessa merkityksellisiä ovatkin pitkän soitonopiskeluprosessin mukanaan tuomat kokemukset. Suomalainen soitonopetusjärjestelmä muodostaa sen keskeisen kontekstin, johon musiikinopiskelijoiden elämää kuvaavat kertomukset sijoittuvat ja jossa musiikinopiskelijoiden identiteetti rakentuu. Opiskelijat ovat aloittaneet soittamisen jo runsaasti ennen kouluikää, mutta soittaminen on ollut pitkään yksi harrastus muiden joukossa. Useissa kuvauksissa jotakuta tiettyä soitonopettajaa pidetään avainhenkilönä opintojen suuntautumisen kannalta. Tällaisen soitonopettajan johdolla, peruskoulun loppupuolella, opiskelijan opinnot ovat saaneet tavoitteellisen, ammattimaisuuteen suuntaavan käänteen. Solistisen koulutuksen opintojen alkaessa opiskelijoiden tärkeimpänä motivaationa opinnoissa on halu soittaa, ei niinkään minkään erityisen musiikin alan työtehtävän tavoittelu. Opintojen edetessä opiskelijoiden musiikki-identiteetti alkaa rakentua esimerkiksi kamarimuusikko-identiteetiksi tai muusikko-identiteetiksi. Musiikkikilpailuista on tullut nykykulttuurissa yksi merkittävimmistä sosiaalisen arvonannon saamisen välineistä musiikin alalla. Kilpailut ovat yhä huomattavampi tapa saada tunnustusta omille kyvyilleen ja parantaa asemaansa musiikkiyhteisössä. Musiikkikilpailuihin osallistuminen on tutkimuksen opiskelijoilla alkanut lukioikäisenä. Tutkimuksessa tulee esille, että kilpailujen merkitys on musiikinopiskelijoiden elämässä hyvin tärkeä mutta kilpailut aiheuttavat myös ristiriitaisia tunteita. Jotkut opiskelijat pitävät kilpailutilanteita jopa merkittävimpinä tapahtumina ammattiopintoihin suuntautumisen kannalta. Toisaalta kilpailut ja niihin valmistautuminen on voitu kokea äärimmäisen stressaavina, riittämättömyyden tunteita aiheuttavina vaiheina opintojen aikana.

This study is an ethnomusicological analysis of Scottish competition bagpiping, examining three fundamental aspects of performance: sound aesthetics, performance aesthetics and the modal complex of the core repertoire. Through a mixture of discussions, modal analysis and reflections upon performance, it deconstructs the music of the 2/4 competition pipe march and the aesthetics surrounding competition performance. Focussing on a small number of the world's leading Highland bagpipers, this research demonstrates how overall sound combined with the individual choices about repertoire and how to play it, results in the maintenance of individual identity. In chapter three, analysis of the ‘modal complex', comprising pitch sets, hierarchies, phrasing-structure, the double-tonic, structural tones, melodic motifs and rhythm-contour motifs reveal the characteristics of various modes in the 2/4 competition pipe march. As an insider of this music-culture, I offer a definition of mode based upon motivic content rather than pitch set. The modal complex is framed by an understanding of how pipers themselves think about their competitive tradition. Understanding the concepts presented in this thesis provides an original and holistic picture of how Scottish bagpipe competition performance sounds the way it does.

Literary contests have been quite popular in recent years among American publishers. Regardless of their merits, such contests have raised two questions for librarians charged with responsibilities for book selection. The first is whether such award winners are of sufficient merit as to justify immediate purchase as a result of their being the recipients of the publisher's prizes, or whether such titles should have the same slow, careful screening that is set up by the library policy for other new titles. The second question is whether other titles by prize-winning authors could be justified for purchase on the grounds that the authors had been proved of merit in their production of prize-winners, or whether the works other than their prize novels should be subjected to closed scrutiny. For these questions there have been no ready answers. In order to help answer the above questions a study has been made of one publisher's contest, analyzing the Atlantic Novel Prize winners together with a brief survey of later works of the recipients of that award. This study will attempt to show how both the later books by the Atlantic authors and the prize novels have been received immediately by the reviewers and how they have stood the test of time as revealed by their presence or absence in the standard selection aid. / Typescript. / "February, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Ruth H.
