Canada's first birth control clinic : the Birth Control Society of Hamilton, 1931-1940

Annau, Catherine January 1992 (has links)
This thesis examines the formative years (1931-1940) of Canada's first birth control clinic, the Birth Control Society of Hamilton (BCSH). The focus of this work is to place the activities of the BCSH in an international and national context. Canada's first birth control clinic drew directly on the writings and experience of two well known birth control pioneers, the American Margaret Sanger and the English woman Marie Stopes. This reliance on foreign models demonstrates the enormous influence that the British and Americans had on the formation of Canadian social and medical institutions. This thesis also challenges the traditional perception of the BCSH as a low key and non-ideological endeavour. New historical evidence indicates that the BCSH shared in the eugenic ideology of other contemporary Canadian birth control organizations and was an active participant in the debates surrounding contraception and eugenics.

A contenção da política: usos de videomonitoramento para controle social nos espaços públicos de São Paulo / The containment of the politics: uses of videomonitoring for social control in the public spaces of São Paulo

Vieira, Letícia Maria 11 September 2018 (has links)
Essa dissertação é um estudo sobre o sistema Detecta, inicialmente apresentado pela Secretaria de Segurança Pública de São Paulo, em 2014. Ele seria um programa de videomonitoramento inteligente, instalado pela Microsoft, em uma parceria público-privada com o estado. Sua base era o programa de monitoramento da cidade de Nova Iorque, nos Estados Unidos. No entanto, até 2018, embora o sistema continuasse ativo, a função de videomonitoramento inteligente não havia sido instalada. Ela foi substituída pelo programa de monitoramento de rodovias do antigo projeto Radar. Nessa dissertação trabalhamos com a questão central: o projeto Detecta foi um instrumento de controle que impactou na apropriação do espaço público da cidade de São paulo?. A hipótese que chegamos foi que o Detecta funcionou como uma peça de propaganda de guerra psicológica, em favor da normatização do espaço público e sua transformação em território das forças de segurança. Essa hipótese se sustenta em um estudo sobre a repercussão do Detecta e do videomonitoramento em jornais e outras mídias brasileiras, segundo diferentes grupos sociais. / This dissertation is a study on the Detecta system, initially presented by the Public Security Secretariat of São Paulo, in 2014. It would be an intelligent video-monitoring program installed by Microsoft in a public-private partnership with the state. It was based on the monitoring program of the city of New York in the United States. However, by 2018, although the system remained active, the intelligent videomonitoring function had not been installed. It was replaced by the road monitoring program of an olf project called Radar. In this dissertation we work with the central question: Was the project Detecta an instrument of control that impacted in the appropriation of the public space of the city of São Paulo in Brazil?. The hypothesis we arrived at was that Detecta functioned as a piece of psychological war propaganda, in favor of the normatization of public space and its transformation into a territory of São Paulos security forces. This hypothesis is supported by a study about the repercussion of Detecta and videomonitoring in newspapers and other Brazilian media, according to different social groups.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Alberto Caetano Portugal.pdf: 2069211 bytes, checksum: c06552a4473508777096967110188736 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-10-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Starting from a retrospective look at the productive restructuring that marks the transition from Fordism to Post-Fordism, from disciplinary society to a control society, this research seeks to deepen this passage through the studies of Michel Foucault, and also by Hardt and Negri, who placed this Momentum as a consolidation of transnational corporations. In order to understand the production and capture of knowledge in the context of the neoliberal control society, we use the notion of no-politics by Maurizio Lazzarato. The concept of immaterial work that underlies the research was inspired by the notions of Hardt and Negri in which they emphasize the change of the profile of the worker with emphasis on the cognitive, affective and communicative abilities. It tries to emphasize the importance that the production of software has in the configuration of current capitalism, besides serving as a case study to understand the latest work processes. In order to understand how these processes are articulated with the control society, and with the managerialist ideology already present in the companies, making possible the creation of very specific subjectivities, we analyze the agile movement in Brazil, which brings through its practices and values a New way of managing and producing software. It seeks, among other aspects, to understand how individuals give themselves to thevalues, beliefs and neoliberal affections, becoming more susceptible to the control society. Qualitative research uses the interview as a tool to register the perception of professionals designated as evangelizers, who occupy a prominent position in the agile movement / Partindo de um olhar retrospectivo da reestruturação produtiva que marca a passagem do fordismo ao Pós-Fordismo, da sociedade disciplinar para uma sociedade de controle, essa pesquisa busca um aprofundamento dessa passagem pelos estudos de Michel Foucault, e também por Hardt e Negri que situaram esse momento como uma consolidação das empresas transnacionais. Para compreender a produção e captura de conhecimento no contexto da sociedade de controle neoliberal utilizamos a noção de noopolítica de Maurizio Lazzarato. O conceito de trabalho imaterial que fundamenta a pesquisa foi inspirado nas noções de Hardt e Negri nas quais ressaltam a mudança de perfil do trabalhador com ênfase nas habilidades cognitivas, afetivas e comunicativas. Procura salientar a importância que a produção de software possui na configuração do capitalismo atual, além de servir de estudo de caso para compreender os processos de trabalho mais recentes. Para entender de que forma tais processos se articulam com a sociedade de controle, e com a ideologia gerencialista já presente nas empresas, possibilitando a criação de subjetividades muito específicas, analisamos o movimento ágil no Brasil, que traz por intermédio de suas práticas e valores uma nova forma de gestão e produção de software. Busca, entre outros aspectos, compreender como se dá adesão de indivíduos à valores, crenças e afetos neoliberais, tornando-se mais suscetíveis a sociedade de controle. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo utiliza a entrevista como ferramenta para registrar a percepção de profissionais designados como evangelizadores, que ocupam posição de destaque no movimento ágil

Becoming-professional: notes on the university and the production of MFAs

Schultz, Heath 01 December 2011 (has links)
This paper begins by looking at the MFA as a worker within the context of the contemporary university and from there attempts to situate that position in relationship to capitalism by charting out how the university uses workers for its own ends much like any capitalist business would, which results in the over-producing MFAs. From here, we can look toward the broader consequences of this large production of cultural producers and their becoming-professional. The consequences of this becoming-professional, I argue, are much more problematic than they initially appear, which further destabilizes our ability to act as anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian cultural producers without further strengthening the forces we seek to oppose. Finally, I'll try and develop Stefano Harney and Fred Moten's concept of the criminal as well as Deleuze & Guattari's thinking on smooth spaces and a socio-political shifting toward that of the control society. Last I look at the various ways of thinking about fleeing or evacuating to help us chart escape routes by moving past traditional artistic notions of institutional critique and other professionalizing discourses learned within the spaces of MFA production.

Time-Complex Anxiety

Avanessian, Armen, Hennig, Anke 20 November 2020 (has links)
The following remarks are intended as philosophical comments on Gilles Deleuze’s groundbreaking reflections on a control society emerging at the end of the 20th century (cf. Deleuze 1992). Following Foucault, Deleuze’s interpretations of the ‘contemporary’ socio-technological transformations are mostly of a spatio-technical nature; the aim of this article is to complement his diagnosis with a time-philosophical analysis. Here, the guiding question is how to best characterize the time-political dimension of the new forms of social (“apprenticeships and permanent training”) and economic control, which has only further increased with the financialization of the 21st century (“Man is no longer man enclosed, but man in debt”) (1992: 6-7). Deleuze’s text already contains a number of clues that are relevant in this context, for example his references to the work of the dromonihilist Paul Virilio, specifically to the “ultrarapid forms of free-floating control” (1992: 4) that the latter outlined. Behind the acceleration paradigm sketched out by Virilio, however, we recognize an explanatory model of a different temporality, that is, both a different model of explanation and a different model of time. According to our working hypothesis, complex societies or societies that, under the influence of algorithms and computer-based infrastructures, are temporally complex can no longer be understood from the perspective of the present. The type of economy that Deleuze subsumed under the concept of ‘control society’ corresponds to a logic that is no longer centered on the present or the contemporary. Rather, under the digital technological conditions of the 21st century, control turns out to be time control and control of (as well as from) the future.

Práticas cotidianas dos conselhos tutelares: problematizando o mundo das "faltas" / Everyday practices of tutelar councils: raising questions on the "world of shortage"

Isabel Scrivano Martins Santa Bárbara 12 March 2013 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este trabalho é fruto de uma pesquisa realizada a partir de reportagens e notícias veiculadas na mídia impressa e em redes sociais, de debates com conselheiros tutelares, do encontro com colegas psicólogos que são técnicos do conselho tutelar e da minha experiência como professora da rede municipal do RJ. Para tanto, utiliza algumas ferramentas da análise institucional de origem francesa como proposta por Lapassade e Lourau e contribuições de Guatarri sobre a produção de subjetividades, de Foucault sobre a sociedade disciplinar e Deleuze sobre as sociedades de controle. Para chegar ao cotidiano dos conselhos tutelares precisamos entender que ao longo dos anos 1990, com a implantação da doutrina neoliberal que reduziu investimentos na área social e instalou o chamado Estado mínimo no Brasil, vivemos um importante paradoxo segundo o qual, de um lado, tínhamos o ECA propondo a garantia de direitos por meio da participação democrática da sociedade civil em articulação com o governo e que previa um órgão - conselho tutelar - que deveria reivindicar direitos e, de outro, a política neoliberal, com seus ideais de desmobilização política, abandono das políticas sociais, privatização e individualização. No contato com conselhos tutelares de municípios de diversas regiões do país podemos perceber que este foi rapidamente distanciado das suas motivações políticas de mobilização da sociedade civil e transformado num "balcão de atendimento" cuja principal função passou a ser o atendimento dos "casos", ou seja, das demandas que lá chegam. Isso porque a "participação institucionalizada e regulada" (SCHEINVAR e LEMOS, 2012) acabou consolidando-se, já que participar deixou de ser um ato de intervenção dos movimentos sociais para se transformar numa simples adesão a campanhas propostas pelo sistema político. Hoje, podemos dizer que os conselheiros habitam o "mundo das faltas". Sendo assim, despotencializado o movimento reivindicativo acusa-se à falta de estrutura, do espaço físico, rede de atendimento, participação na elaboração da proposta orçamentária, política pública de qualidade, remuneração adequada, etc. E quem trabalha com a falta tem sempre o mesmo público alvo: a família pobre. As análises das práticas cotidianas dos conselheiros têm mostrado que os conselhos tutelares com o passar dos anos passaram a funcionar sob o tripé vigilância, enquadramento e punição. O termo "risco social" ou "vulnerabilidade social" é a cada dia mais difundido por conselheiros tutelares e especialistas da rede de atendimento que têm utilizado esse "rótulo" visando disciplinar e homogeneizar as pessoas em suas relações familiares como forma de enquadramento social. / This dissertation is the result of research based on news items and reports both from the print media and social media, debates with tutelary counselors, meetings with psychologists who work in Tutelary Councils and my own experience as a teacher in the Rio de Janeiro municipal school system. It makes use of institutional analysis theoretical tools as proposed by French authors such as Lapassade and Lourau, together with contributions by Guatarri on production of subjectivity, Foucault on disciplinary society and Deleuze on control society. In order to reach the everyday life of the Tutelary Council we must understand that during the 1990s, with the establishment of a neoliberal doctrine, which cut investments in social services and installed the so-called Minimal State in Brazil, we lived an important paradox: on the one hand there was the ECA proposing the assertion of rights by means of democratic participation of the civil society in coordination with the government and planning for an organ - the Tutelary Council - which would claim rights; on the other hand there were the neoliberal policies with their ideals of political immobilization, privatization, individualization and abandonment of social policies. Being in touch with Tutelary Councils from municipalities of several regions in the country, we understand how this organ has made itself distant from its political motivations of social mobilization to become a "service desk" whose main function is that of dealing with the ?cases?, i.e. the demands that they receive. This is due to the fact that "institutionalized and regulated participation" (SCHEINVAR and LEMOS, 2012) became consolidated since participation is no longer an act of social movements intervention but a simple adherence to the campaigns proposed by the political system. Nowadays, we can say that tutelary counselors inhabit the "world of shortage". So being, the assertion movement disempowered, accusations are brought against the lack of structure of the physical space, a service network, participation in drafting the budget proposal, public policy quality, adequate remuneration, etc.. And those who work with the lacking always have the same target group: poor families. The analysis of counselors everyday practices have shown that over the years the tutelary councils have come to operate under the tripod: surveillance, restraint and punishment. The term "social risk" or "social vulnerability" is increasingly spread by council members and experts of the service network who have used this "label" as a form of social curbing, in order to discipline people and make them homogeneous when it comes to their family relationships
