This study was designed to accomplish an in-depth examination and documentary analysis of professional literature and scientific studies in order to identify and synthesize reported physiological, socioeconomic, psychological , and cultural differences between American black and white male athletes in the performance of selected athletic skills. The following major conclusions seem justifiable from the data which has been reported: 1) Physical differences impede or enhance athletic performance in certain athletic activities. 2) Social elements influences the choice and extent to which both races are involved in athletics. 3) Black male athletes have equal or stronger control of their emotions than white male athletes. 4) Culture and environment affect the development of traits in both races which contribute to their success in selected athletic skills. 5) How athletic skills are acquired accounts for the success both races experience in selected athletic skills. 6) A positive relationship exists between education and vocational aspiration and athletic success for white male athletes, but athletic success has independent consequences for facilitating higher levels of education for black male athletes. 7) black male athletes perform more successfully in reactive activities and white male athletes perform more skillfully in self-paces athletic activities.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Neste estudo, dedicamo-nos à análise os desdobramentos da proposta curricular da Secretaria Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro Multieducação no cotidiano escolar, procurando verificar como são trabalhadas as diferenças culturais, de modo a entender o processo pelo qual se consolidam as políticas multiculturais assumidas no discurso da rede. Optamos por um abordagem metodológica que compreendesse o currículo como produção cultural, em que os conhecimentos e os poderes pudessem ser compreendidos como campo da significação, cenário em que as culturas lutam por legitimidade, um território contestado, que envolve a negociação de posições ambivalentes de controle e resistência. Nessa tentativa de pensar nas múltiplas possibilidades que os discursos podem oferecer além dos aspectos visíveis, recorremos à abordagem qualitativa de cunho etnográfico, que envolve a análise documental e a pesquisa participante. No desenvolvimento desta pesquisa, buscamos subsídios teóricos nos estudos culturais, pós-estruturais e pós-coloniais que vêm discutindo as inter-relações entre currículo, identidade, cultura e diferença. Nos apropriamos principalmente dos estudos de Homi Bhabha, Jacques Derrida, Chantal Moufee e Ernesto Laclau quando abordam conceitos que envolvem a construção da diferença como prática discursiva e de significação: noções de discurso, enunciação, práticas articulatórias, negociação, hegemonia, entre-lugar, cadeia de equivalência, antagonismo/agonismo, significante vazio e a própria noção do sujeito. Concluímos que a busca por uma intensa atividade desconstrutiva significa propor a possibilidade da coexistência com o paradoxo: a permanência na fronteira, que caracteriza a indecidibilidade os interstícios, os entre-lugares , que pode gerar estruturas fecundas que possibilitem repensar as diferenças. Sabendo que o significado é construído nas práticas articulatórias, no campo da discursividade, compreendemos que os documentos norteadores da prática curricular da SME/RJ tem buscando ao longo dos anos a construção de pontos nodais, que possibilitem a prática pedagógica de acordo com os saberes hegemônicos, mas sem que com isso se perca o diálogo e negociação com os demais campos de saberes. / In this study I have analyzed the developments of the curricular proposal of the Municipal Education Department of Rio de Janeiro Multieducation in everyday school life, to verify how cultural differences are treated, as a way of understanding the process through which multicultural policies assumed in the systems discourse are consolidated. I opted for a methodological approach which would view the curriculum as cultural production, in which knowledges and powers could be seen as a field of signification, a scenario in which cultures fight for legitimacy, a contested territory that involves negotiating ambivalent positions of control and resistance. In that attempt to consider the multiple possibilities that the discourses can offer beyond the visible aspects, I took a qualitative approach of an ethnographic nature involving a documental analysis and participating research. While doing this research, I looked for theoretical data in cultural, post-structural and post-colonial studies that discuss inter-relationships between curriculum, identity, culture and difference. I made use, principally, of studies by Homi Bhabha, Jacques Derrida, Chantal Mouffe and Ernesto Laclau when they discuss concepts that involve constructing the difference as a discursive practice and signification: notions of discourse, enunciation, articulatory practices, negotiation, hegemony, between-place, chain of equivalence, antagonism/agonism, empty signifier and the actual notion of the subject. I concluded that pursuing an intense deconstructive activity means to propose the possibility of coexistence with the paradox: permanence on the frontier, which characterizes undecidability the intervals, the between-places -, that can produce fertile structures making it possible to rethink the differences. Knowing that the meaning is built on articulatory practices, in the field of discursivity, I feel that the documents guiding the curricular practice of the SME/RJ have sought over the years to construct nodal points that allow pedagogic practice according to hegemonic knowledges, although without losing the dialogue and negotiation with the other fields of knowledges.

abstract: Music therapy literature provides evidence that the use of music is very effective in improving daily living skills for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) all over the world. However, each country may have and use their preferred music therapy approaches and interventions for clients with ASD because of cultural differences although music therapy comes from the same origin. The aim of this research was to discover the cultural differences between American and Korean parents of children with ASD by comparing two countries in various categories, such as care systems, benefits and challenges in raising children with ASD, and therapeutic approaches in music therapy and other therapies used for these children. The data that was gathered from the survey consisted of 4 participant groups: American parents, Korean parents, American music therapists, and Korean music therapists. This study examined the differences and similarities in the parental perspectives of children with ASD and music therapy treatment practices for individuals with ASD between two countries through the survey methods, integrating quantitative (closed-ended) and qualitative (open-ended) survey questions. The results of the findings indicated that there were several kinds of cultural differences in treating children with ASD, such as care systems, benefits and challenges in raising their children, and therapies used for children with ASD between American and Korean children. Overall, Korean parent participants reported experiencing fewer benefits than American parent participants in the question concerning country-level benefits. Statistically speaking, the study could not find any significant differences in using therapies for children with ASD as well as music therapy treatment practices between America and Korea. However, the study found that there were some differences in the music therapy approaches and preferred music therapy interventions for ASD-diagnosed children which were summarized in responses from parents and therapists. The primary difference noticed that American music therapists preferred behavioral and neurologic techniques, while Korean music therapists preferred behavioral and Nordoff-Robbins techniques. Because of some of the study limitations, the results may not be generalizable. In future research, many more participants need to be engaged with a narrow range of conditions. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Music Therapy 2016

A modelagem estocástica sociocultural introduzida por Robert Axelrod é tradicionalmente referida à manutenção das diferenças, pois gera o efeito contra-intuitivo do aparecimento de heterogeneidades ao ser atingido o estado de equilíbrio, apesar de sua interação fundamental homogenizar os interagentes. Devido à sua simplicidade, inúmeras releituras do Modelo de Axelrod foram propostas, como também adendos e pequenas modificações. Um campo externo constante homogenizador, interpretado como a mídia, é um exemplo de uma possível alterações no modelo. Já um exemplo de releitura vem com a alteração funcional da interação bipolar do modelo de Axelrod por uma assimilação cultural, usando o mecanismo de Viés de Frequência. Nesta dissertação analisaremos as simulações propostas por Axelrod, sem e com a mídia externa. Para simularmos a mídia externa usaremos o artifício de adicionar um um vizinho fictício à cada elemento da rede. Além disso, analisaremos o mecanismo de assimilação via Viés de Frequência, mostrando sua relação com o modelo do voto da Maioria da Mecânica Estatística. / The sociocultural stochastic modeling introduced by Robert Axelrod is traditionally referred to as the maintenance of cultural diversity. Since it generates the appearance of heterogeneities on a steady state, even the primordial interaction tends to gauge the interactors. Due to its simplicity, numerous interpretations of this model were studied, as well as additions and minor modifications. One example of a possible change in the model can be a constant external field, interpreted as the media. Another example of a reinterpretation could be changing the Axelrod Model bipolar interaction by a cultural assimilation, using the mechanism of frequency bias. This dissertation aims to study the Axelrod simulation with and without the external media. In order to simulate the external media we will add a virtual neighbor to all elements. Furthermore, we analyze the mechanism of assimilation via Bias frequency, showing its relationship with the model of majority voting in Statistical Mechanics.

O principal propósito deste trabalho foi problematizar o hodierno discurso educacional que busca valorizar as diferenças culturais, hoje bastante naturalizadas. Visando entender a emergência de enunciados sobre as pluralidades, diversidades e/ou diferenças culturais no contexto educacional brasileiro, analisamos alguns documentos de âmbito federal, produzidos pelo MEC entre 1997 e 2007. Durante a pesquisa, demonstrou-se necessário mapear alguns diferentes contextos globais em que a temática da diversidade ganhou relevância, assim como as diversas correntes epistemológicas que debatem essa temática. Estabelecemos, em nossa cartografia discursiva, duas principais tendências teóricas: a teoria crítica e o pósestruturalismo. Várias são as diferenças entre elas e, mesmo em seus interiores, encontramos muitos debates. As principais características que relacionam a teoria crítica à discussão que ora propomos são: sua leitura sobre o papel atribuído à Razão, à Dialética, ao Reconhecimento Identitário e à Redistribuição de bens materiais. Já no pós-estruturalismo encontramos críticas sobre esses conceitos por meio do estabelecimento de outras ideias, que privilegiam as traduções, os hibridismos e as diferenças culturais. Os autores e documentos pesquisados, por muitas vezes, partem de diferentes perspectivas sobre a justiça, os Direitos Humanos, as comunidades ou mesmo a importância das diferenças no âmbito político. Para compreensão da dinâmica desse campo de disputas utilizamos o conceito de desentendimento, conforme postulado por Rancière. Notamos ainda, que os debates em torno de cidadanias diferenciadas ou ações afirmativas a certos grupos, somente ganham relevância em um contexto político liberal, com sua peculiar valorização dos direitos individuais. Devido a isso, estudamos as singularidades da formação das ideias liberais no Brasil. O trabalho é composto de três partes que se relacionam e três intervalos que as complementam. Na primeira parte o foco são os desentendimentos discursivos globais, na segunda parte, as singularidades do Brasil e na terceira parte a ênfase é dada sobre os discursos educacionais, na qual privilegiamos algumas diretrizes curriculares, que são descritas em detalhe para a compreensão das tendências nelas expostas, entendidas como norteadoras de práticas e novas subjetivações. Dentre vários aspectos presentes nos documentos, quatro chamaram mais nossa atenção: a produção e naturalização de determinadas vizinhanças (negros, indígenas, mulheres, deficientes, homossexuais etc), a aproximação da diversidade cultural e da biologia, a ênfase no reconhecimento e, principalmente, a construção de um discurso essencialista sobre as diferenças, notadamente nas temáticas étnico-raciais, que se erige a partir da contestação do mito da democracia racial brasileira. Na construção e análise desse tenso e imprescindível debate, utilizamos o conceito de discurso, conforme estabelecido por Foucault. Nosso desígnio foi o de fornecer subsídios para essa premente questão: a de saber o papel da escola nessa reconceitualização sobre a justiça no contexto político-social, que atualmente parece mesclar desigualdade e exclusão através de desentendimentos sobre as relações entre igualdade e diferença. / The main purpose of this study was to question the present-day educational discourse that seeks to value cultural differences, now widely naturalized. In order to understand the emergence of statements about the cultural pluralities, diversities and / or differences within the Brazilian educational context, we review some documents at the federal level, issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) between 1997 and 2007. During the research, the need arose to map some different global contexts in which the theme of diversity had gained prominence, as well as the different epistemological trends debating this subject. We have established, in our discursive cartography, two main theoretical trends: the critical theory and the post-structuralism. There are several differences between them and, even within their core, we detect many debates. The main feature that relates the critical theory to the discussion that we are proposing is its approach about the role assigned to Reason, Dialectic, Recognition of Identity and Redistribution of Goods. On the other hand, in poststructuralism we find reviews about these concepts by means of the establishment of other ideas, with a focus on translations, hybridisms and cultural differences. The authors and documents that we have surveyed are often based on different perspectives about justice, Human Rights, communities, or even the importance of the differences in the political arena. In order to understand the dynamics of this field of battle, we used the concept of disagreement, as postulated by Rancière. We also observed that the discussions about differentiated citizenships or affirmative actions for certain groups only become relevant in a liberal political context, with its peculiar appreciation of the individual rights. For this reason, we studied the peculiarities of the formation of liberal ideas in Brazil. The paper comprises three parts that relate to each other and three \"intervals\" that complement them. In the first part the focus is the global discursive disagreements; in the second part, the peculiarities of Brazil; and in the third part the emphasis is on the educational discourses, in which we focus on some curriculum guidelines, which are described in detail so that the trends exposed in them can be understood, and construed as guides for practices and new subjectivations. Among several aspects present in the documents, four were those that stood out the most: the production and naturalization of certain \"neighborhoods\" (blacks, Indians, women, the disabled, homosexuals, etc.), the proximity between cultural diversity and biology, the emphasis on the recognition and, above all, the construction of an essentialist discourse about the differences, especially within the ethnic and racial spheres, which arises from the challenging of the \"myth of racial democracy in Brazil. In the construction and analysis of this tense and vital debate, we applied the concept of discourse, as established by Foucault. Our purpose was to provide subsidies to this pressing question: what the school\'s role is in this re-conceptualization about justice in the political and social context, which currently seems to merge inequality and exclusion by means of disagreements on the relationship between equality and difference.

It aimed at reviewing the concepts of school failure present on the academic journal Cadernos de Pesquisa, published by Fundação Carlos Chagas, since its first issue, released in 1971, up to 2006. From the Marxian perspective, this work considers school failure a social product inherent to a society based on antagonistic classes. Through an analysis of themes, and theoretical and methodological references, it focused on how school failure was treated, based on the assumption that the concepts exhibited in this journal throughout this period expressed both comprehension of this subject and intervention processes in it. Despite the fact that in discussing issues regarding to education, the main concern has been mostly the fundamental education, the school level officially assured as compulsory and accessible to every citizen in Brazil. One hundred an ninety six articles which dealt directly or indirectly with school failure were selected from Cadernos de Pesquisa and analyzed according to a systematic listing of the documents, following the themes as well as theoretical and methodological principles predominant in each article. The changes in the concepts of the expression school failure were described, identifying the main aspects considered as modalities of culture emphasis: the emphasis on cultural marginalization, in its critical and propositional approaches; and also the emphasis on cultural diversity. The results revealed two main trends in the analyzed data: the prominence, present in most of them, of the relation between school failure and cultural differences, in opposition to the studies which focus on the relation between school failure and social disparity developed during the nineteen eighties, the redemocratization period of Brazilian society. The other trend is related to school management, considered as able to promote some adjustments to the school dynamics, sometimes based on the culture of school success, focusing on the students needs and cultural peculiarities. In a context of educational reforms which tend to cover social disparity for the sake of cultural differences, more subtle forms of justification for the school failure are possibly being generated / Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica vinculada à Linha de Pesquisa Cultura e Processos Educacionais. Tem como objeto de estudo as concepções de fracasso escolar expressas no periódico Cadernos de Pesquisa, publicação da Fundação Carlos Chagas, desde seu primeiro número, publicado em 1971, até 2006. Fundamentando-se no referencial marxiano, o fracasso escolar é compreendido como produção social inerente à sociedade de classes. Mediante a análise de seus temas e referenciais teórico-metodológicos, objetivou-se apreender, nos artigos selecionados, como o fracasso escolar é tratado, partindo-se do pressuposto de que as concepções veiculadas no periódico ao longo do período expressam processos de compreensão e também de intervenção relativos à questão. Embora sejam mencionadas questões pertinentes à educação básica, privilegiou-se a discussão do fracasso escolar no âmbito do ensino fundamental, nível de escolaridade que, por sua obrigatoriedade e gratuidade, é assegurado oficialmente. Foram selecionados cento e noventa e seis artigos de Cadernos de Pesquisa que, direta ou indiretamente, tratam do fracasso escolar, identificados e analisados por meio de uma planilha de análise e documentação, após o que se procedeu à organização de quadros sintéticos, de forma a sistematizar os temas tratados bem como os diferentes enfoques teórico-metodológicos. Num movimento contínuo de relacionar os dados obtidos à literatura pertinente, são descritos os deslocamentos das concepções de fracasso escolar no período, identificando-se os enfoques predominantes, referenciados como modalidades de enfoques de cultura: o enfoque da marginalidade cultural, tanto em suas abordagens críticas quanto nas propositivas, e o enfoque da diversidade cultural. Foi possível identificar duas tendências no campo dos estudos e das pesquisas analisados: a ênfase na relação entre fracasso escolar e diferenças culturais, presente na maior parte do período investigado, em detrimento dos estudos que relacionam fracasso escolar às desigualdades sociais, que prevaleceram apenas na década de 1980, momento de redemocratização da sociedade brasileira. A outra tendência diz respeito à ênfase na gestão escolar, que promoveria ajustes na dinâmica escolar, por vezes fundada na cultura do sucesso escolar, com foco no atendimento dos alunos de acordo com suas necessidades e particularidades culturais. Num contexto de reformas educacionais que tendem a obscurecer as desigualdades sociais em nome das diferenças culturais, estariam sendo produzidas formas mais sutis de justificação do fracasso escolar.

This diploma thesis applies the theory of cultural differences in the web environment. Several dozens of selected websites from various national cultures are evaluated and analyzed. Differences in the web design and marketing communication are studied depending on the culture. The evaluation is based on cultural models of social psychologist Geert Hofstede and anthropologist Edward T. Hall. Research sites are selected from nine cultural clusters according to the Inglehart-Welzel cultural map, based on the World Values Survey data. Other site surveyed includes the world's largem producers in the industry. The authors of this study build on and developed work of Aaron Marcus and Emilie Gould in the web design of Cross-Cultural Strategies for Web Design (Armando Calabrese et al., 2012). The objective of this diploma thesis is to analyze whether cultural differences are manifested on a selected group of websites.

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur socialarbetare upplever kulturella skillnader i kommunikation med sina kollegor. Studiens deltagare är socialarbetare som arbetat minst 6 månader inom samma arbetsgrupp. Datainsamlingen är gjord utifrån en kvalitativ metod där empirin samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultaten framställs genom en tematisk analys där vi lyfter olika områden. Utifrån vår studie kan vi utläsa att våra respondenter upplever att det finns en upplevd kulturell skillnad i kommunikationen med kollegor samt att dessa yttrar sig på olika vis. Respondenterna berättade om olika kommunikationssituationer där både språk och handling varit de områden som visat de kulturella skillnaderna mest. Respondenterna berättade även om upplevda för- och nackdelar med kulturella skillnader och hur dessa kunde påverka kommunikationen med kollegorna på arbetsplatsen. / This study aims at investigating how social workers experience cultural differences in communication with their colleagues. The students of the study are social workers who have worked for at least 6 months in the same working group. The data collection is based on a qualitative method where the data was gathered through semi-structured interviews. The results are then produced through a thematic analysis where we highlight different areas. Based on our study, we can state that our respondents feel that there is an experienced cultural difference in communication with colleagues and that they express themselves differently. Respondents talked about different communication situations where both language and action were the areas that showed the most cultural differences. Respondents also told about the pros and cons of cultural differences and how these could affect communication with colleagues in the workplace

L’objectif du présent travail est de proposer, aux étudiants de français langue étrangère en Colombie, unemodélisation de dictionnaire culturel permettant de décrire et d’étudier une nomenclature en français, richeen contenus culturels à visée anthropologique. Elle peut motiver une meilleure réflexion et une connaissanceplus approfondie de la langue française et du système culturel de ce pays.Nous nous sommes principalement fondée sur les divergences linguistiques, conceptuelles et culturelles,totales ou partielles, qui existent entre l’univers français et celui de la Colombie dans des domainesspécifiques. Les contenus culturels d’un grand nombre de méthodes de français et d’ouvrages pédagogiquesou spécialisés connexes ont été examinés afin d’identifier le vocabulaire pouvant être acquis par lesétudiants dans le cadre de leur apprentissage du français mais aussi pour établir notre corpus.Ce travail comprend une analyse comparative sociolinguistique et culturelle de l’univers français etcolombien. Il précise la manière dont nous avons procédé lors de différentes étapes effectuées pourconstituer cette modélisation. Parmi elles, figurent la mise en place d’un cadre théorique, la création d’uncorpus, la proposition d’un modèle de microstructure d’article de dictionnaire culturel, de possiblesméthodes de mettre en évidence le vocabulaire à forts contenus culturels à visée anthropologique, lasélection d’un échantillon d’unités linguistiques ou terminologiques, l’examen des données le concernant, larédaction des informations pour les entrées sélectionnées, la création d’articles de dictionnaire et leurprésentation finale. / The aim of this research is to propose a modelling of a cultural dictionary for students of French as a foreignlanguage in Colombia. It will permit the description and study of French nomenclature at a high level ofanthropological cultural content. This will also enable an in-depth knowledge of French language andculture.We have mainly based our study on total or partial, linguistics and the conceptual and cultural differencesthat exist between French and Colombian worlds in specific fields. We have examined French learningmanuals and other related ressources, not only to create a corpus, but also to identify the vocabulary that islearned by students of French.This research includes a sociolinguistic and cultural comparison between French and Colombian worlds. Weshall explain how this projet has been set up and conducted : the constitution of a theoretical framework, thecreation of a corpus, the proposition of a modelling of microstructure of cultural dictionary entries, possiblemethods to identify the vocabulary with high levels of anthropological cultural contents, the selection of asample of words and terms, the examination of data, the redaction of informations for selected entries, thecreation of dictionary entries and their final presentation.
