Previous issue date: 2013-04-23 / Some fields of knowledge have been highlighted in the study of self-harm, such as medicine (especially psychiatry), psychology and psychoanalysis. These areas differentiate the acts of harming oneself as part of a specific culture or religious ritual from those recognized as pathologies or dysfunctional behavior. The last ones are considered as acts of self-destruction produced by individuals who need assistance so that they can stop self-injuring. Partimos do pressuposto de que a autolesão é um modo de subjetivação construído e transformado por diferentes discursos dependendo do contexto sociocultural em que acontece. Assuming that self-harm is a form of subjectivity produced and transformed by different speeches, depending on the social context in which it takes place, this study intends to analyze, using the post-structuralism perspective, messages left on Orkut virtual communities by people who self-harm and discuss their experiences in that social network. Results indicate discourses in common with the aforementioned fields of knowledge and with religion, as well as definitions of self-harm as art, a privileged way of expressing emotions or even a source of pleasure. Some internet users claim for the right to use their bodies as they please since it is meant to be their territory of intervention and their only, what can be understood as a movement of resistance to the rule of having a docile body. In conclusion, it is understood that the subjects involved with self-harm relate to their bodies and with virtual communities as means of producing identities. / Alguns saberes têm se destacado no estudo da autolesão, entre eles a medicina, (notadamente a psiquiatria), a psicologia e a psicanálise. Estes campos do conhecimento diferenciam os atos de ferir a si mesmo como parte de uma cultura específica ou ritual religioso das práticas autolesivas que são atribuídas a patologias ou disfunções. Estas últimas são consideradas como atos de autodestruição produzidos por pessoas que precisam de intervenções de especialistas para que deixem de ferir-se. Partimos do pressuposto de que a autolesão é um modo de subjetivação construído e transformado por diferentes discursos dependendo do contexto sociocultural em que acontece. Assim, a intenção deste trabalho é analisar, à luz da perspectiva pós-estruturalista, mensagens de pessoas que se autolesionam e discutem a sua experiência em comunidades virtuais da rede social Orkut. Resultados indicam que além dos discursos em comum com os citados campos de saber e com a religião, há ainda quem defina a autolesão como arte, maneira privilegiada de expressão das emoções ou mesmo fonte de prazer. Alguns internautas reivindicam o corpo como território de intervenção pertencente unicamente a si próprios, reclamando o direito de utilizá-lo como bem entendem, no que se pode caracterizar como um movimento de resistência à norma de ter que apresentar um corpo dócil. Por fim, compreende-se que os sujeitos envolvidos nessa prática relacionam-se com seu corpo e com as comunidades de que participam enquanto locais de produção de identidades.

The Duality of the Hitler Youth: Ideological Indoctrination and Premilitary EducationMiller, Aaron Michael 12 1900 (has links)
This thesis examines the National Socialists' ultimate designs for Germany's youth, conveniently organized within the Hitlerjugend. Prevailing scholarship portrays the Hitler Youth as a place for ideological indoctrination and activities akin to the modern Boy Scouts. Furthermore, it often implies that the Hitler Youth was paramilitary but always lacks support for this claim. These claims are not incorrect, but in regard to the paramilitary nature of the organization, they do not delve nearly deeply enough. The National Socialists ultimately desired to consolidate their control over the nation and to prepare the nation for a future war. Therefore, they needed to simultaneously indoctrinate German youth, securing the future existence of National Socialism but also ensuring that German youth carry out their orders and defend Germany, and train the youth in premilitary skills, deliberately attempting to increase the quality of the Wehrmacht and furnish it with a massive, trained reserve in case of war. This paper relies on published training manuals, translated propaganda, memoirs of former Hitler Youth members and secondary literature to examine the form and extent of the ideological indoctrination and premilitary training--which included the general Hitler Youth, special Hitler Youth subdivisions, military preparedness camps akin to boot camp, and elaborate war games which tested the youths' military knowledge. This thesis clearly demonstrates that the National Socialists desired to train the youth in skills that assisted them later in the Wehrmacht and reveals the process implemented by the National Socialists to instill these abilities in Germany's impressionable youth.

Constructions, negotiations and performances of gender and power in lobolo: an African-centred feminist perspectiveMakama, Refiloe Euphodia 11 1900 (has links)
This study aimed to explore how gender is constructed, negotiated and enacted in the customary practice of lobolo. Lobolo, sometimes incorrectly referred to as bridewealth or dowry is a practice that centres around the transference of wealth from the groom or a groom’s family to the bride’s family towards the formalisation of marriage. Framed within an African-centred feminist approach I analyse, through narrative discursive analysis, how 27 men and women ages 27 -71, from Johannesburg and Cape Town account for gender and power dynamics in their narratives of participating in lobolo. The African-centred feminist approach I employ critically engages with historical as well as present-day reproductions of patriarchy, capitalism, heteronormativity and other mechanisms of exclusion that are perpetuated through the cultural practice of lobolo. I show how masculinities and femininities are constituted, negotiated and disputed in the narratives of men and women who have participated in lobolo. By employing an African-centered feminist approach I show how gendered dynamics within the practice are shaped by historical and contemporary social, political and economic factors which enable and constrain the exercise of power in various ways. By exploring lobolo through an African-centered feminist narrative approach I demonstrate how the process is more than simply a transference of wealth but rather a complex practice that is used as an apparatus to exercise and expand power in the different stages of the lobolo process. Within this African-centered feminist approach, I argue that lobolo functions to legitimise particular gender positions that can be adopted through marriage; but it can also be used to challenge and contest these roles. The findings of this study suggested that the different stages and process of lobolo reflect a gendered script, which determines the position that men and women are able to adopt, and that this script sets the parameters for the ways in which these roles may be enacted. I find also that the meanings and descriptions of lobolo are embedded within, and reproduce gendered identities but that these identities are not fixed but rather are constantly renegotiated. I conclude that lobolo is not only a custom for formalising marriages but also a tool used by men and women to perform a range of sometimes contradictory functions, including at times establishing and strengthening hegemonic masculinities and femininities but at other times challenging and dismantling these. / Psychology / Ph.

Ervaring van mag in konfessionele bybelse beradingTroskie, Mariza 30 November 2003 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / I wanted to investigate the way people experienced confessional pastoral therapy by conducting a qualitative research study. The role of the pastor were examined as well as the effect of discourses of power and ethics in pastoral counseling.
I interviewed clients who were counseled by pastors of the AFM Church (Apostolic Faith Mission). The research supposes that knowledge and power discourses have a major influence in pastoral counseling which is often not accounted for. I wanted to see how clients experienced the effects of these discourses of power and ethics. I furthermore wanted to see how these power discourses could result in clients feeling subordinate to the pastor and his knowledge and the effect that these feelings might have on them.
The purpose of this study was not to generalize the experiences of the participants, but rather to set a contextual background of the experiences of power in confessional pastoral counseling. / Practical Theology / M. Th. (Pastorale Terapie)

Riglyne vir die ontwerp van 'n terapeutiese program vir oudlede van destruktiewe kultes / Guidelines for the design of a therapeutic programme for ex-members of destructive cultsVenter, Maria Adriana 11 1900 (has links)
Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel of daar 'n behoefte aan spesifieke terapeutiese
riglyne vir oudlede van destruktiewe kultes bestaan. Die studie is daarop gemik om aanvullend
tot die bestaande inligting rakende terapie te werk te gaan.
Die uitgangspunt van hierdie studie is dat die invloed wat psigiese beheer (mind control) op
'n persoon kan he, tydens terapie in aanmerking geneem behoort te word. Gedurende
literatuurstudie en persoonlike kontak met oud-kultelede is bevind dat individue selfs jare na die
beeindiging van lidmaatskap onder die gevolge van psigiese beheer ly. Dit wil voorkom asof die
probleme nie opklaar voordat insig ontwikkel is in die wyse waarop misleiding en beheer
plaasgevind het nie. Dit sou vir 'n terapeut dus nodig wees om die verbande wat daar tussen
sielkundige probleme wat deur persone ervaar word en psigiese beheer bestaan, in te sien
voordat terapie suksesvol aangepak kan word.
Ter aanvang is die definisies en kenmerke van kultes bespreek. Die persoonlikheid, wyse van
gesagsuitoefening en relasies van die tipiese kulteleier is aan die orde gestel. Faktore wat
vatbaarheid vir werwing by kultes kan verhoog, is bespreek en onderskeid is getref tussen die
twee belangrikste beinvloedingstrategiee wat daar in kultes kan bestaan, te wete breinspoeling en
psigiese beheer. Die verloop van die proses van psigiese beheer is bespreek asook die nadele
wat lidmaatskap by kultes vir die individu kan inhou.
Die volgende sielkundige prosesse wat by psigiese beheer betrokke kan wees, is aan die orde
gestel, naamlik: houdings, oorreding, kognitiewe dissonansie en toestande van gewysigde
bewussyn waaronder dissasiasie, psigagene amnesie, depersanalisasie, derealisasie, hipnose
en suggestie.
Ten einde meer akkurate inligting van die tipiese aud-kultelid te bekam, is anderhaude met ses
aud-kultelede gevaer. Terwille van kwalitatiewe verdieping, is diepte-andersaeke op twee van
hierdie persane uitgevaer. Op grand van inligting wat uit die literatuurstudie en van die
praefpersone verkry is, is riglyne vir die antwerp van 'n terapeutiese program vir oud-kultelede
saamgestel. / The aim of this study is to ascertain whether a need exists for specific therapeutic guidelines for
ex-members of destructive cults. This study is intended to work complementary to existing
therapeutic techniques.
The point of departure of this study is that the influence that the process of mind control can
have on a person, should be taken into consideration in therapy. During the literature study
and personal contact with ex-cult members it was found that even years after they had left the
cult, individuals still suffered from the consequences of mind control. Apparently problems are
not solved before insight is gained into the way in which deception and control has taken place.
For a therapist it would thus be necessary to gain insight into the relationship that exists
between psychological problems that people experience and mind control before therapy can be
successfully undertaken.
Initially the definitions and characteristics of cults are discussed. The personality, methods of
exercising control and the relationships of the typical cult leader are discussed. Factors that
can make a person more vulnerable to recruitment are discussed and a distinction is made between
the two main influencing strategies in cults, namely brainwashing and mind control. The course of
the process of mind control is discussed, as well as the personal disadvantages of
membership to cults.
The following psychological processes which can be present in mind control, are discussed, namely:
attitudes, persuasion, cognitive dissonance and conditions of altered consciousness, i.e. dissociation, psychogenic amnesia, depersonalisation, derealisation, hypnosis
and
suggestion.
In order to obtain more accurate information about the typical ex-cult member, interviews were
conducted with a sample group of six persons. For the sake of qualitative deepening, in-depth
studies were conducted with two of these persons. On the basis of the information that was
obtained from the literature study and from the sample group, guidelines for the design of a
therapeutic program for ex-cultists are presented. / Psychology of education / D. Ed. (Sielkundige Opvoedkunde)

The nexus of control : intentional activity and moral accountabilityConradie, Niël January 2018 (has links)
There is a conceptual knot at the intersection of moral responsibility and action theory. This knot can be expressed as the following question: What is the relationship between an agent's openness to moral responsibility and the intentional status of her behaviour? My answer to this question is developed in three steps. I first develop a control-backed account of intentional agency, one that borrows vital insights from the cognitive sciences – in the form of Dual Process Theory – in understanding the control condition central to the account, and demonstrate that this account fares at least as well as its rivals in the field. Secondly, I investigate the dominant positions in the discussion surrounding the role of control in moral responsibility. After consideration of some shortcomings of these positions – especially the inability to properly account for so-called ambivalence cases – I defend an alternative pluralist account of moral responsibility, in which there are two co-extant variants of such responsibility: attributability and accountability. The latter of these will be shown to have a necessary control condition, also best understood in terms of a requirement for oversight (rather than conscious or online control), and in terms of the workings of the dual system mechanism. I then demonstrate how these two accounts are necessarily related through the shared role of this kind of control, leading to my answer to the original question: if an agent is open to moral accountability based on some activity or outcome, this activity or outcome must necessarily have positive intentional status. I then apply this answer in a consideration of certain cases of the use of the Doctrine of Double Effect.

Increased delay discounting tracks with later ethanol seeking but not consumptionBeckwith, Steven Wesley 31 July 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Assessments of delay discounting in rodent lines bidirectionally selected for home cage intake and preference of alcohol have had mixed findings. The current study sought to examine if delay discounting related differentially to alcohol seeking versus and alcohol drinking, two processes underlying alcohol intake and preference. Three strains of rats were utilized to answer this question Long Evans (LE), high alcohol drinking rats (HAD2), and alcohol preferring P rats. All strains were compared in an adjusting amount delay discounting task. Operant self-administration of alcohol was then assessed in the sipper tube model, and finally home cage drinking was assessed in a 24 hour 2 bottle choice paradigm. In the delay discounting it was found that the P rats were steeper discounters than both the LE and HAD2. In the sipper tube model, P rats displayed higher levels of seeking than both the HAD2s and the LE, but both the P rats and the HAD2s had higher intakes than the LE. During 24 hour home cage access, the P rats and the HAD2s had higher intake and preference for alcohol than the LE, but were not different from each other. These results show that increased discounting of delayed rewards tracks with appetitive processes versus consummatory factors and home cage intake of alcohol. This builds on prior findings using selected line pairs by providing an explanation for discordant results, and supports the hypotheses that increased delay discounting is an intermediate phenotype that predisposes individuals to alcohol use disorders.
