[pt] Esta dissertação apresenta um roteiro de atividades didáticas para a abordagem da história de Angola, voltado para turmas de nono ano do ensino fundamental. Em caráter interdisciplinar, o roteiro busca relacionar os referenciais históricos do período contemporâneo com parte da obra do autor angolano Ondjaki. O objetivo desta proposta é aguçar a curiosidade, o interesse e despertar a admiração dos alunos pelo continente africano, ajudando-os a superar mitos e estereótipos puramente negativos em relação à África. A sequência didática proposta foi elaborada a partir de leituras de historiografia, antropologia e literatura. Foi igualmente importante para fundamentar o produto desta dissertação a reflexão teórica sobre a abordagem em sala de aula da literatura como forma de conhecimento, para o exercício da empatia e do respeito à diversidade cultural. / [en] This dissertation presents a script of didactic activities to approach the history of Angola, aimed at 9th grade elementary school classes. In an interdisciplinary character, the script seeks to relate the historical references of the contemporary period with part of the work of the Angolan author Ondjaki. The proposal is to whet curiosity, interest and arouse students admiration for the African continent, helping them to overcome myths and purely negative stereotypes about Africa. The proposed didactic sequence was elaborated from readings of historiography, anthropology and literature. It was also important to base the product of this dissertation on the theoretical reflection on the classroom approach to literature as a form of knowledge, for the exercise of empathy and respect for cultural diversity.

<p>  </p> <p>The highly diverse character of US universities provides an opportunity for writing programs to (re)examine the extent to which their current administrative, curricular, and pedagogical practices support a growing student population with unique linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds, resources, and needs. This dissertation research aimed to explores the ways in which writing programs address the increasing diversity in writing pedagogy education, as a key component of writing program administration work. The main goal of this research was to investigate how writing program administrators and teacher educators in my study context represent our current reality regarding engagement with the increased linguistic and cultural diversity in the activity of teaching to the newest members of the writing program, i.e., graduate teaching assistants. Analyses of data collected through semi-structured interviews and educational materials suggest that while issues surrounding diversity and multilingual students have been addressed in writing pedagogy education, there is still room for more work, especially integrative, (trans)disciplinary diversity work that will help turn the graduate composition practicum, as the main context for writing pedagogy education in writing programs, into a space where new writing teachers can navigate diversity in order to learn how to actively engage with and pedagogically respond to it in their writing instruction in the era of superdiversity. </p>

[pt] Com o propósito de defender a relevância de uma política de internacionalização do audiovisual no âmbito do Governo Federal brasileiro, este estudo pretende identificar impasses e impactos da construção dessa política, desde os anos 2010, e analisar, em que medida, tal política de internacionalização se articula ao desenho geral da política pública do audiovisual e contribui ao desenvolvimento desse setor. Para investigar as questões apontadas, foi feita uma pesquisa exploratória de caráter bibliográfico e documental em temas correlatos às políticas públicas culturais voltadas ao audiovisual. A pesquisa qualitativa – baseada na análise do conteúdo de artigos, livros, entrevistas e documentos oficiais – identificou dois principais impasses enfrentados nessa área no Brasil. São eles: o impasse na insuficiência de investimento em internacionalização, em descompasso com o copioso financiamento em produção de filmes para uma potencial ocupação do mercado doméstico; e o impasse pela acanhada articulação entre os princípios e projetos das políticas públicas setorial e externa do país. Os resultados permitem inferir razões por que o Brasil não apresenta um desempenho significativo no comércio internacional em torno do audiovisual; possibilitam ainda extrair novas possíveis explicações para o fato de a audiência brasileira se manter alheia à sustentabilidade da própria produção nacional. Em resumo: para se proteger e promover a cultura brasileira expressa no audiovisual, tornou-se imprescindível integrar políticas públicas que efetivamente qualifiquem e expandam a circulação desses bens e serviços culturais para além do Brasil, por meio da internacionalização. / [en] In order to defend the relevance of an internationalization policy for the audiovisual sector within the Brazilian Federal Government, this study intends to identify the impasses and impacts of the construction of this policy, since the year 2010, and to analyze, to what extent, such internationalization policy articulates the general design of the public policy of the audiovisual sector and contributes to the development of this sector. The research - based on the analysis of the content of articles, books, interviews and official documents - identified two main impasses faced in this area in Brazil. They are: the impasse in the insufficiency of investment in internationalization, in disarray with the copious financing in film production for a potential occupation of the domestic market; and the impasse over the lack of articulation between the principles and projects of the Cultural and the Foreign Trade policies. The results allow inferring reasons why Brazil does not present a significant performance in the international trade around the audiovisual; make it possible to draw new possible explanations for the fact that the Brazilian audience remains unaware of the sustainability of the national production itself. In summary: in order to protect and promote Brazilian culture expressed in the audiovisual sector, it has become essential to integrate public policies that effectively qualify and expand the circulation of these cultural goods and services beyond Brazil, through internationalization.

Syftet med studien är att beskriva förskollärares förståelse av interkulturell pedagogik på monokulturella förskolor. Detta utifrån barns rätt till att utveckla förståelse för styrkorna som finns i det mångkulturella samhället som Sverige idag är. Det är en kvalitativ studie som bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta förskollärare. Vi har använt fenomenografisk ansats som utgångspunkt för att synliggöra förskollärares beskrivningar, tolkningar och uppfattningar, av arbete med interkulturell pedagogik på monokulturella förskolor. Fenomenografin låg även som grund i analysarbetet där de centrala begreppen utfallsrum, variation, uppfatta och andra ordningens kategori användes som stöd. Resultatet presenteras genom utfallsrummen; förståelse av interkulturell pedagogik och beskrivningar av arbete med interkulturell pedagogik. I resultatet synliggörs en kunskapslucka, där en osäkerhet kring fenomenet interkulturell pedagogik dominerar. Däremot visar det på att förskollärare har en nyfikenhet och vilja att utveckla mer kunskap och förståelse kring fenomenet. Det synliggörs genom en efterfrågan av tydliga riktlinjer, metoder och material samt kollegialt samarbete. Slutsatsen av studien är att en kulturell medvetenhet, nyfikenhet och vilja finns. Dock utgår flertalet från att det behövs en mångkulturell utgångspunkt i barngruppen, för att möjliggöra interkulturell pedagogik på monokulturella förskolor. / The purpose of the study is to describe preschool teachers' understanding ofintercultural pedagogy in monocultural preschools. This is based on children'sright to develop an understanding of the strengths that exist in the multiculturalsociety that Sweden is today. This is a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with eight preschool teachers. We have used aphenomenographic approach as a starting point to highlight preschool teachers'descriptions, interpretations and perceptions of working with interculturalpedagogy in monocultural preschools. The phenomenography also formed thebasis of the analysis work, where the central concepts of outcome space,variation, perceive and second-order category were used as support.The results are presented through the outcome spaces; understanding ofintercultural pedagogy and descriptions of work with intercultural pedagogy.The results reveal a knowledge gap, where uncertainty about the phenomenonof intercultural pedagogy dominates. On the other hand, it shows that preschoolteachers are curious and want to develop more knowledge and understandingof the phenomenon. This is made visible through a demand for clearguidelines, methods and materials as well as collegial cooperation. Theconclusion of the study is that there is cultural awareness, curiosity andwillingness. However, most of them assume that there is a need for amulticultural starting point in the group of children, to enable interculturalpedagogy in monocultural preschools.

聯合國教科文組織於二○○五年十月二十日通過文化多樣性公約。從談判歷史觀之，「文化多樣性」似乎是歐盟會員國於烏拉圭回合時在GATS下倡議「文化例外」之延續，也因此公約通過後，主張貿易自由化之一方擔心公約將限制貿易，而與GATS產生衝突；另一方面，主張文化保護之一方則認為公約可助其在GATS下續行推動「文化例外」，亦即將視聽服務排除GATS之適用。 本文研究之目的係在探討文化多樣性公約對於GATS視聽服務之影響。首先，本文就文化多樣性公約下的重要規定進行研析，並以視聽服務為論述核心，探討公約與GATS間的可能衝突。在綜合考量規範衝突及談判現況後，本文最後試評估公約對於GATS視聽服務之影響，並提出對未來視聽服務談判之展望。 公約下的義務，由於締約國在履行上多保有裁量權，解釋上尚難構成貿易限制或具歧視性；另一方面由於GATS規範極具彈性，WTO會員國本不負絕對的特定承諾義務。依此，公約與GATS發生衝突發生之可能性並不大。至於公約的權利規定，或有違反GATS義務之虞，惟由於締約國可選擇不行使公約權利而履行GATS義務，因此公約權利與GATS義務的衝突得以事先避免。 由於公約對GATS之衝擊有限，再加上公約將可提供一個文化議題協商之平台，公約或可紓解WTO會員國對於文化保護之關切，進而摒除彼等國家在GATS下基於文化保護而不願開放之疑慮。依此，本文研判公約對於GATS視聽服務自由化將是助力，有助於視聽服務談判之進行。鑒於GATS下並無文化一般例外以調和兩套規範，本文建議未來在WTO下可透過增訂「部長決議」，要求WTO會員國於解釋並適用GATS規定時應將公約之相關規定列入考量，俾達成公約與GATS間相互支持之目標。 / On 20 October 2005, the UNESCO General Conference approved the “Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.” Judging by the negotiating history, “cultural diversity” appears to be the continuation of “cultural exception” invoked by the European Communities under the GATS negotiations during the Uruguay Round. Therefore, after the Convention is approved, free trade supporters worry that the convention might restrict trade and conflict with the GATS rules. On the other hand, cultural protectionists argue that the Convention has merits in moving forward “cultural exception,” i.e. to prohibit the application of the GATS rules on the audiovisual services. The objective of the thesis is to analyze the impact of the Convention on the audiovisual services under the GATS. The thesis first studies the rules under the Convention and discusses potential conflicts between the Convention and the GATS in terms of audiovisual services. Considering both the conflicts of norms and current negotiations, the thesis attempts to assess the impact of the Convention on the audiovisual services and forecast the future of negotiations on the audiovisual services under the GATS. The obligations of the Convention may not be easy to be interpreted as trade restrictions or discriminations because States Parties can mostly reserve their rights to perform. On the other hand, GATS rules is so flexible that WTO Members need not make specific commitments under the GATS. Accordingly, the possibility of conflicts is not high. Though the rights of the Convention might be contradictory to the obligations of the GATS, States Parties can choose to perform their obligations of the GATS rather than exercise their rights of the Convention in order to preclude the existence of the conflicts. The Convention only has limited impact on the GATS. In addition, the Convention provides a forum of negotiations on cultural issues so that it might smooth over WTO Member’s concern with cultural protection and remove their doubts of liberalization on the basis of cultural protection. Judging from this, the Convention can give a boost to the liberalization of audiovisual services and facilitate the negotiations. In light of the fact that there is no general exception clauses of cultural protection under the GATS to harmonize the two international instruments, this thesis suggests that “Ministerial Decision” be adopted to request WTO Members to take relevant rules of the Convention into consideration when interpreting and applying the GATS rules in order to achieve the goal of mutual supportiveness between the Convention and the GATS.

This study investigated the process of bereavement in the Xhosa, Zulu and Tswana cultures with participants including three cultural experts and a bereaved family from each ethnic group. Data was collected using semi – structured interviews mainly in the participants’ homes. Analysis was used by comparing and contrasting the information gathered. Empirical research findings revealed that the process in the African culture specifically in these three ethnic groups is different from the western culture as stated in the literature. The literature review findings show that the western culture’s processes of bereavement seem focused in the intrapersonal processes. However, the African Black cultures seem to be focused more on interpersonal processes of bereavement. Recommendations are made in the study on how a western trained Educational Psychologist can approach a bereaved client coming from these ethnic groups. Recommendations are also made for Educators and Parents. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Guidance and Counselling)

The Apartheid Philosophy resulted in creating a heterogenous society in South Africa, with each group having its own distinctive culture and value-orientation. Organizational values, influenced by personal value-orientation employed by White managers, could be challenged by appointing members of this heterogenous society into positions previously held by White managers, thereby emphasizing the need for congruence between organizational and personal value-orientation. The literature study revealed not only the existence of both Individualism and Collectivism, but the co-existence thereof in individual value-orientation and the existence of Ubuntuism as another form of collectivism - the latter being analogous to humanism. Through this empirical study the value-orientations of managers from either Black or White cultural backgrounds, were assessed, using a value-orientation questionnaire. The findings of the present study, although inconclusive, demonstrated that Black and White managers do not differ significantly in terms of their value-orientation at work. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)

with the emergence of multiculturalism and the opening up of schools to all races in South Africa, the education system is undergoing enormous changes. Educators and pupils are faced with unfamiliar cultures, languages and backgrounds. This diversity has resulted in a need for schools to evolve I with the changing circumstances. The complexities associated with racial integration necessitates an educational programme suitable to meet the I needs of our culturally diverse society. A change strategy is necessary to provide teachers with a multicultural approach to education which is ultimately aimed at providing pupils o e cultures with equal opportunities to learn and succeed in a multicultural society. It is the concern of this dissertation to examine the role and function of the school guidance counsellor in attempting to meet the needs of educators, and pupils coming from different cultural, ethnic, racial and socio-economic backgrounds. / Psychology of Education / M.

Située dans le discours actuel à la mode sur la diversité culturelle, l’objet de cette thèse consiste à comprendre l’orientation pratique d’une organisation internationale en matière de gestion de sa diversité culturelle interne. Il propose que, face aux changements qui ont modifié la configuration sociodémographique de la sphère organisationnelle, il serait intéressant de partir d’une organisation pour laquelle la diversité est une tradition tributaire de son fonctionnement. L’organisation sujet d’étude est internationale, affiliée à l’Unesco. Cette dernière étant reconnue pour son mandat qui valorise et protège les cultures. L’ancrage épistémologique de la thèse est bi-disciplinaire. Il considère deux champs théoriques sur lesquels se construit la diversité culturelle. Le premier est forgé dans les théories de management dites « occidentales » sur la diversité. Le deuxième champ, s’établit sur une approche dynamique de la culture apportée par les « Cross-Cultural Studies ». La méthodologie que nous avons mobilisée pour cette recherche est principalement qualitative. Elle est également diverse puisqu’elle veut identifier trois niveaux d’analyses. D’abord, l’étude historique réalisée se fonde sur l’analyse d’articles choisis tirés des archives de l’« organisation mère » (Unesco). Elle se veut être une étude exhaustive qui révèle l’évolution du discours « global » de cette organisation sur la diversité culturelle depuis sa création. Ensuite, afin de mieux comprendre le discours interne de l’Organisation sur la diversité culturelle, une analyse du contenu d’un « halo » de ses politiques internes a lieu. Elle nous permet de comprendre la valeur que prend la diversité culturelle dans son discours « organisationnel » dans la période de temps que nous traitons. Enfin, les histoires « individuelles » des acteurs de la diversité culturelle, apportent une description riche et, complètent l’analyse avec leurs interprétions des pratiques de gestions mises en place à leur égard. Des éléments de recherche sous adjacentes sont aussi amenés dans la thèse et font également partie du processus de l’analyse de la pratique de la diversité culturelle dans l’Organisation. En effet, la thèse se penche sur le problème conceptuel sur la « diversité culturelle ». Elle apporte des éclaircissements à la terminologie à travers l’analyse de ses différents emplois dans la littérature organisationnelle. Par ailleurs, elle clarifie la notion d’organisation internationale et propose une description du contexte unesquien défini par sa diversité culturelle interne. L’ensemble des niveaux examinés a permis de mettre en évidence une double constatation. D’une part, le paradoxe entre les trois niveaux. D’autre part, la neutralité des pratiques de gestion de la diversité culturelle pour les employés et la demande implicite de reconnaissance de leurs identités culturelles. Des recommandations sont proposées et des suggestions pour de recherches ultérieures sont formulées à la conclusion de la thèse. / The thesis is developed in the current “in vogue” speech on cultural diversity. The main objective of our purpose consists in understanding the orientation of an international organization regarding the management of its cultural diversity. We think that, according to the change that modifies the socio-demographic configurations of the organizational context, it would be interesting to study an organization for which diversity is a tradition of its functioning. Our subject of study is an international organization affiliated to Unesco. The latter is recognized for its position, which values and protects the cultures. The field of knowledge is bi-disciplinary. The first one is forged in the theories of management on diversity. The second field comes from “Cross-Cultural Studies”. The methodological approach is also diversified in order to identify three levels of analysis of the cultural diversity in the Organisation. First, we have realized a historic study, based on the analysis of chosen articles from Unesco’s archives. It aims to reveal the evolution of the global discourse on cultural diversity, since its creation. Then, to better understand the internal organisational discourse about its cultural diversity, an analysis of the content of a “halo” of the internal policies takes place. This analysis allows us to understand the value of cultural diversity in a particular period. Finally, the stories of the actors of cultural diversity bring a rich description and complete the analysis with the interpretation of these actors of the management of the cultural diversity in the Organization. Additional elements of search are brought in the thesis and they are a part of the process of the analysis of the global orientation of the Organisation on the cultural diversity. We bring clarifications to the terminology of cultural diversity though an analysis of its use on the organisational literature. Besides, the thesis clarifies the notion of international organisation and proposes a description of the unesquian context defined by its internal cultural diversity. All the examined levels allowed highlighting a double observation. On one hand the paradox between the three levels; Global-organisational-individual. On the other hand, the neutrality of the practices of management of the cultural diversity and the request of recognition of the cultural identities, implicitly formulated by them. In conclusion, we provide the contributions and limitations of the thesis and we propose research possibilities.
