99 Summary The topic of this Diploma thesis focuses on Fictionalization of History in History Teaching. This area is closely connected with Eduard Štorch. Eduard Štorch was an amateur archaeologist, a very good writer and an undervalued teacher. Based on topics which he drew from a variety of archaeological research projects he created and wrote adventure stories which can be classified as somewhere between fiction and popular science stories in which he described oldest periods of Czech history. His books are still recognised today as the very best of their kind and they have been translated into a number of foreign languages. As a teacher, Štorch did his utmost to improve children's education. At his own expense and almost single-handedly he built a "Children's Farm" on Libeňský ostrov in Prague. It was meant as a place for educating children not only inside a classroom but also in the middle of nature. Children from other schools in Prague were encouraged to use the outdoors facilities there in their free time as well. Eduard Štorch tried to promote and enforce changes in the teaching of all school subjects but concentrated on the teaching of history. For this purpose he published several books such as "The Reform of the History Taught at Schools" (Reforma školního dějepisu; 1905), "The New History"...

Para tanto, far-se-á uma apresentação do contexto histórico-cultural da espécie literária, de suas raízes nos contos orais indo-europeus até chegar ao que se considera a nascença da literatura infantil brasileira no Século XX. Como complemento ao estudo cultural, avaliar-se-á obras canônicas e textos doutrinários usando como suporte teórico da narrativa e da literatura em geral: Gaston Bachelard, Peter Hunt, Ana Maria Machado, Terry Eagleton, Nelly Novaes Coelho, Regina Zilberman, Marisa Lajolo, entre outros. Um enfoque especial será dado ao conceito norte-americano e brasileiro de cultura de leitura e mediadores de leitura para comparar o processo de formação do indivíduo em ambos os países. Como parte desta abordagem, será mostrada uma análise dos conceitos de multiculturalismo e pluriculturalismo as quais serão apresentadas para apontar sua importância e influência no leitor dentro da sociedade. O último capítulo da pesquisa dar-se-á sobre o tema tradução e suas implicações linguístico-culturais enfrentados pelo tradutor literário, assim como a migração do hábito de leitura dentro das salas de aulas de L2 para fomentar a aquisição de uma segunda língua. Analisar-se-á aspectos do texto original que se perdem numa adaptação ou tradução dando uma ênfase especial aos conceitos de domesticação e estrangeirização para melhor atender às necessidades do leitor final usando como suporte as teorias tradutórias de George Steiner, Lawrence Venuti, Eugene Nida, Jeremy Munday, John Milton, Mona Baker, Zohar Shavit, Susan Bassnett, Riitta Oittinen, entre outros. Como base de análise literária, o corpus desta pesquisa será composto de alguns exemplos de cânones, focando especificamente dois livros norte-americanos e suas traduções brasileiras: Where the Wild Things Are (Onde Vivem os Monstros) de Maurice Sendak e Mr. Peabody´s Apples (As Maçãs do Sr. Peabody) da Madonna.

We selected for the study a group of children, under social and personal risk, exploited by prostitution and drugs traffic. On one hand, through the study, we tried to comprehend the complex interrelations between the State, classes and social groups, which take into account a historical and social course marked by violence practices that find a comfortable environment upon the modern Bahian coronelism . On the other hand, we address the analysis of the consequences of the economy reforms of the neo-liberal agenda, which have been recently unfolded into the adoption of local social programs and policies that are characterized as locally focused, fragmentary and related with social protectionism. In order to fulfill this task, we ground the research on the particular social and political constitution of the district, whose government has been led by Labors Party (PT) over twelve years. Within a landscape of widening and increasing political indifference due to the replacement of programs to the universe of the poverty management , to the suppression of rights and the degradation of public spaces, we attempt to reflect through this thesis on its effects on those who live upon the edge of surviving which Giorgio Agamben refers as naked life / Esta tese tem por objetivo refletir sobre a realidade das desigualdades sociais e da violência contra crianças e adolescentes, em Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, no período de 1997 a 2005. Selecionou-se para estudo o grupo de crianças em situação de risco pessoal e social, explorado pela prostituição infanto-juvenil e pelo tráfico de entorpecentes. Por meio da pesquisa tentou-se, por um lado, apreender as complexas relações entre Estado, classes e grupos sociais que levam em conta uma trajetória histórico-social, marcada por práticas de violência que encontram um estuário perverso nos efeitos do moderno coronelismo baiano . Por outro lado, dirigiu-se às análises das conseqüências dos reajustes econômicos do receituário neoliberal, que se desdobram, em tempos recentes, na adoção local de programas e políticas sociais focalizados, de caráter fragmentário e assistencial. Para esta tarefa, baseamo-nos na peculiaridade sociopolítica do município, cujo governo, há três quadriênios, é liderado pelo Partido dos Trabalhadores PT. Diante do cenário mais amplo de crescente despolitização, por causa do deslocamento de programas para o universo da administração da pobreza , da negação de direitos e da deterioração de espaços públicos, procura-se refletir, por meio desta tese, seus efeitos sobre aqueles que vivem no limiar da sobrevivência , o que Giorgio Agamben chama de vida nua

This thesis presents an argument for the use of dialogic halaqah to develop the personal autonomy of young Muslims in twenty-first century Britain. It begins by developing a theoretical grounding for Islamic conceptualisations of personal autonomy and dialogic pedagogy. In doing so, it aims to generate dialogue between Islamic and ‘western’ educational traditions, and to clarify the theoretical foundation of halaqah, a traditional Islamic oral pedagogy, that has been adapted to meet the educational needs of Muslim children in contemporary Britain. Dialogic halaqah is daily practice in two independent British Muslim faith-schools, providing a safe space for young Muslims to cumulatively explore challenging issues, in order to facilitate the development of selfhood, hybrid identity and personal autonomy, theorised as shakhsiyah Islamiyah. This thesis examines the relationship between thought, language, and the development of personal autonomy in neo-Ghazalian, Vygotskian and Bakhtinian traditions, and suggests the possibility of understanding shakhsiyah Islamiyah as a dialogical Muslim-self. This theoretical work underpins an empirical study of data generated through dialogic halaqah held with groups of schoolchildren and young people. Using established analytic schemes, data from these sessions are subjected to both thematic and dialogue analyses. Emergent themes relating to autonomy and choice, independent and critical thinking, navigating authority, peer pressure, and choosing to be Muslim are explored. Themes related to halaqah as dialogic pedagogy, whether and how it supports the development of agency, resilience and independent thinking, and teacher and learner roles in halaqah, are examined. Moreover, findings from dialogue analysis, which evaluates the quality of educational dialogue generated within halaqah, that is, participants’ capacity to engage in dialogue with each other, as well as with an imagined secular other, are presented. The quality of the dialogic interactions is evaluated, as is evidence of individual participant’s autonomy in their communicative actions.
