A intenção, com a pesquisa, era de contribuir para a interlocução com a temática juvenil num contexto mais amplo, direcionando as discussões para a especificidade das questões da juventude junto aos povos indígenas e fornecendo elementos que contribuam para a visibilidade das múltiplas juventudes no país. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir do método etnográfico, considerado como uma contribuição metodológica valiosa, por permitir explicar a experiência da pesquisa intercultural. A metodologia incorporou, ainda, a análise das narrativas espontâneas dos jovens professores Guarani e Kaiowá, ocorridas em contextos públicos e materiais escritos, como avaliações de curso, planos de aula, documentos oficiais e oficiosos. O terreno de pesquisa foi o Curso Normal Médio – Formação de Professores Guarani e Kaiowá - “Ára Verá” e o Curso de Licenciatura Intercultural Indígena “Teko Arandu”, a partir dos quais foi possível o acesso aos jovens professores Guarani e Kaiowá, especialmente... / This paper presents research titled Between-times: life strategies and resistance among Guarani and Kaiowá youth. Since 2007, the research was developed with the Doctorate Postgraduate Program in Sociology of FCL/Unesp/Araraquara. The research focuses on the study of Kaiowá and Guarani youth in their affirmative practices, especially those aimed at strengthening the larger Guarani people. It investigates their strategies of interaction with the surrounding society. More specifically, the project aims to investigate and analyze: a) the conceptions and representations of Kaiowá and Guarani youth today; c) how youth appropriate new forms of knowledge c) how male and female youth understand “traditional values;” and d) their strategies for forging internal and external alliances with the group. This research dialogues with the larger context of Brazilian studies of Kaiowa and Guarani youth, aiming to address specific questions related to youth visibility. The research utilizes ethnography as a methodology in order to explain the intercultural research experience. This methodology incorporates in the analysis the spontaneous narratives of young Guarani and Kaiowa professors, which occurred in public contexts and in written materials like course evaluations, lesson plans, and official documents. The research field was an Intermediate Level Course of Training Certification for Guarani and Kaiowá Professors- “Ára Verá.' The aldeia... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Isihlonipho among amaXhosa is a study based on the indigenous culture of amaXhosa, a vibrant nation forming a black section of the South African population. In order to capture those interesting aspects embraced within the theme of this study, the researcher has deemed it proper and appropriate to focus his attention largely on the cultural practices of these people citing various stages of their cultural development. Although some of the most important cultural activities such as religion, ancestor worship, totems and others have been highlighted together with the statuses of certain personalities, places and family units, nevertheless, the emphasis is on hlonipha language associated with cultural practices such as, inter alia, ulwaiuko (circumcision) and traditional marriage. It is also placed on the language of respect associated with the veneration of aspects such as the weather, animals, rivers, graves, inkundla and many others. Of grave concern to the researcher is the fact that arrival of western civilisation, the spread of Christianity and the miscegenation of Black and White races have been instrumental in eroding hlonipha practices and hlonipha language which has remained the pillar of the amaXhosa culture for centuries. In view of the historical and political changes which have significantly affected the validity of these cultural practices, this thesis is inclined to support the spirit of renaissance which seeks to recoup those aspects ofthe past which our posterity needs for its cultural existence / African Languages / D.

This qualitative study aimed to explore the male adolescent’s sense of belonging in his family, in order to arrive at a Gestalt understanding of this concept. In order to achieve the aim, a conceptual framework was outlined focusing on concepts central to this topic, including belonging, adolescence and Gestalt theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eleven adolescents in order to obtain rich data. The data collected during these interviews was subsequently analysed and several themes and categories were identified and explored by the use of a literature control. Conclusions, recommendations and a Gestalt understanding of belonging were then presented. / Play Therapy / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)

O presente estudo pretendeu descrever, comparar e correlacionar as práticas parentais de mães de bebês de até 12 meses de idade, com as variáveis: idade e a escolaridade da materna, sexo e a idade dos bebê. O estudo foi realizado com 250 mães de bebês de 0 a 12 meses. Foi aplicado o Inventário de Estilos Parentais para Mães de Bebês (IEPMB) (adaptado de Gomide, 2006). A coleta de dados foi realizada no Centro de Psicologia Aplicada, da UNESP, campus de Bauru. Os resultados revelaram que as mães utilizam-se com frequencia da prática parental positiva Monitoria Positiva, no entanto as práticas negativas, também são presentes no repertório das participantes, principalmente a prática Disciplina Relaxada. Com a maioria das práticas negativas ainda não são frequentes no repertório comportamental das mães, esta fase seria portanto, um ótimo momento para a realização de intervenções preventivas. Ao comparar as práticas de acordo com o sexo do bebê, foi verificada diferença significativa para a prática Monitoria Positiva, mais utilizada pelas mães de meninas. Esse resultado demonstra, que diferenças nas práticas parentais relacionadas ao sexo da criança, podem ser observadas desde as primeiras relações que as mães estabelecem com os seus bebês. Analisando a idade do bebê verificou-se diferença significativa entre mães de bebês mais novos e mães de bebês mais velhos para a prática Monitoria Positiva, Punição Inconsciente e na somatória das práticas negativas, que são mais utilizadas mães de bebês de sete a 12 meses de idade. Quando os bebês são mais velhos as mães utilizam-se mais das práticas parentais positivas, e por outro lado passam a utilizar mais... / Parenting practices have a major role in the development of children and a close relationship with their behavioral repertories. The presente study aimed to describe , compare and correlate the parenting practices of babies' mothers, with the variables of maternal age and education, age and sex of the baby.

The data were collected by the Parental Styles Inventory for Mothers of Babies (IEPMB) (adapted from Gomide, 2006), at the Center for Applied Psychology, UNESP, Bauru Campus. The results revealed that mothers use the positive parental practice Monitoring Positive, however the negative practices, are also present in the repertorie of the participants, especially the practice Discipline Relaxed. The negative practices are not common in the behavioral repertorie of the mothers, so this phase is an appropriate stage to promote preventice interventions. By comparing the practices according to the sex of the baby, there was a significant difference to the practice Positive Monitoring, most often used by mothers of girls. This result demonstrates that differences in parenting practices related to the sex of the child, can be observed from the first relationships that mothers have with their babies. Looking at the age of the baby there was a significant difference between mothers of younger babies and mothers of older babies to the practices Monitoring Positive, Punishment Inconsistent and in the sum of the negative practices, that are used more by mothers of babies aged seven to 12 months. When babies are older mothers use more positive parenting practices, and more negative parenting practices. There were significant differences between adolescent and adult mothers in the practice Monitoring Positive that is mostly used by adult mothers. Significant...
