An ethnographic approach is used to produce a nuanced investigation of the efforts of the Haida First Nation in British Columbia, Canada, to repatriate the human remains of their ancestors from collections around the world. The result is a contextualisation of Haida repatriation within values and structures of kinship—a position that stands in contrast to the frequent use of political or legalistic frameworks to understand repatriation issues. Incorporating Haida sensibilities toward kinship relations is necessary as analyses based in colonial or post-colonial encounters fail to account for the full range of motivating factors, which include the Haida value of yahgudangang (‘to pay respect’ and ‘to be fit for respect’) and the agency of ancestors after death. Furthermore, it is argued that kinship is the predominant structure through which Haidas experience identity, history and memory. Repatriation is therefore approached as a collective space in which kinship and memories are created, as well as a collective space in which remembering occurs. In order to understand how the individual elements comprising the repatriation process reflect and foster the construction of kinship, the expectations and obligations that exist within matrilineages and between moieties are traced, as is their material manifestation in objects, as well as tangible and ephemeral property. The sharing of embodied experiences between generations as a consequence of Haidas’ participation in the process of repatriation is shown to augment collective memory and family histories. The ways in which repatriation is incorporated within individual and collective narratives are explored as a further means of understanding the dynamic between the production of kinship, memory and identity. Avenues for expanding the current findings on repatriation, the connections between memory and kinship, and Northwest Coast scholarship more generally are presented.

Les manières de dire et d’accomplir les identités confessionnelles dans l’Europe chrétienne de la première modernité investissent, à la fin du XVIe siècle, un genre icono-littéraire particulier : le recueil imprimé de portraits et de vies d’hommes illustres. Ce genre humaniste à la mode n’est pas seulement adopté et adapté par les auteurs protestants (comme Bèze, Reusner, Agricola ou Boissard) pour célébrer les vertus et éterniser la mémoire des premiers grands héros de la foi rénovée. Les recueils protestants d’Illustres inventent aussi une culture spécifique du souvenir, qui se veut détachée de l’hagiographie chrétienne traditionnelle et déconnectée du culte des saints comme du culte des images. Panthéons virtuels, musées de papier et temples de la mémoire, ces collections représentent et performent la fabrique de l’identité protestante à l’ère confessionnelle. En outre, la forme même de la collection, c’est-à-dire de la configuration et co-présentation visuelle des différents acteurs de la Réformation, qu’il s’agisse de Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Bucer ou des autres « instruments de Dieu » ayant œuvré à la restauration de la «vraie doctrine», permet de proposer une représentation de l’unité protestante qui ne sacrifie en rien à la diversité des identités confessionnelles intra-protestante. / By the end of the 16th century, ways of uttering and conveying confessional identities in early modern Europe take hold of a specific genre : the collections of portraits and Lives of illustrious men. Based on both visual and literary rhetoric, these collections used by humanist authors to glorify the heroes of the past are also adopted by Protestants to celebrate the virtues and acts of the first great Reformers. Protestant collections commemorating the achievement of Luther, Zwingli, Calvin and other « instruments of God », invent a specific culture of remembering, which clearly intends to withdraw from the traditional Christian hagiography as well as the cult of images and saints. In fact, these printed temples of memory reflect and embody the very fabric of Protestant identity. Moreover, the form of the collection, that is to say the configuration and visual arrangement of distinct Protestant figures, enable to suggest a representation of Protestant Unity, that at the same time loses nothing of its confessional diversity.

Education Graduate Programme of Universidade Federal de São Carlos. São Carlos, 2012. This Master's thesis deals with the scientific investigation of a process of musical education among the elderly and children, and aims to draw a reflection on some of the cultural changes of recent decades, from acquaintanceship dialogued with a group of women in the aging process, in a educational institution located in a country town in the state of Sao Paulo. The social practices investigated work with the collective musical memory as an instrument for reflection, awareness and appreciation of identity, and seek to develop a method of interaction among generations that respects the cultural imaginary of cultural agents involved in the research. This intervention makes use of music as expressive language of values and habits of the Brazilian people, and highlights the Musical Education as a process of social construction potentially humanizing, which must occur through critical and creative educational praxis. It believes that the Brazilian educational processes not only occur in the formal institutions of education, but firstly on cultural and artistic relations of the popular imagination, the oral transmission of values, among different generations. In a process of looking and collectively share knowledge on the "Roda da Vida" (Circle of Life), this research aims to understand the educational processes initiated by intergenerational experiences and reflect about different perceptions and world views of this group of collaborators women through systematization and analysis the circle of conversation and textual and audiovisual records. The process of dialogic analysis of content and organization of results, looking for alternative solutions methodological dialog among research and intervention, and hope to contribute with other studies of intercultural relations at school. / Esta dissertação de mestrado trata da investigação de um processo de educação musical entre idosas e crianças, e traça uma reflexão sobre algumas das mudanças culturais das últimas décadas, a partir da convivência dialogada com um grupo de mulheres em processo de envelhecimento, numa instituição educacional em cidade do interior do estado de São Paulo. As práticas sociais investigadas trabalham com a memória musical coletiva como instrumento de reflexão, sensibilização e valorização da identidade, e buscam desenvolver uma metodologia de interação entre gerações que respeite o imaginário cultural das agentes culturais envolvidas pela pesquisa. Este trabalho aborda a música como linguagem expressiva dos valores e costumes do povo brasileiro, e aponta a Educação Musical como um processo de construção social potencialmente humanizador, que deve se dar por meio da práxis educacional crítica e criativa. Entende também que os processos educativos não se dão somente nas instituições formais de ensino, mas essencialmente nas relações culturais e artísticas do imaginário popular, pela transmissão oral de valores entre diferentes gerações. Num processo metodológico de olhar e compartilhar conhecimentos sobre a Roda da Vida , a questão de pesquisa é compreender os processos educativos desencadeados por vivências intergeracionais e refletir sobre as diferentes percepções e visões de mundo deste grupo de mulheres colaboradoras, por meio da sistematização e análise de rodas de conversa e de registros textuais e audiovisuais. O processo de análise dialogada dos registros e a organização dos resultados encontrados, procuram apontar alternativas metodológicas de diálogo entre pesquisa e intervenção, e esperam contribuir com outros estudos que abordem relações interculturais no ambiente escolar.

The text of the dissertation includes the effort to dialogue with the historiography about the History of the Chilean Dictatorship, also with historical theorists who deal with the paths of memory, relating it with reports made by survivors and characters of the dictatorships in the Southern Cone and in the case Of this dissertation, the Chilean Civil-Military Dictatorship (set./1973 to march/1990). And it ends with the audio-visual and biographical production already existing of the testimonies of several organizations, to explain how the clandestine happened in the country. The analysis was based on the questioning of the writing of the report, asking what and for whom it is addressed, as well as on the role of memory and its collaboration in clarifying the facts that occurred in a period of strong repression. Some survivors of human rights violations narrated their experiences from their understandings and emotions. Within this approach, the role of the State is also analyzed as a fundamental part in this process of reflection on dictatorial processes. For it is through the use and abuse of power that repression and violence are unleashed, knowing that such acts have become publicly known, when democracy is restored, and even before it, by the collaboration of those who have survived and prepared to recall the moments of clandestinity. This dissertation ends the activities carried out in the Post-Graduate Program in History of the Federal University of Santa Maria. This research focused on the area "History, Power and Culture". The research line "Culture, Migrations and Labor" collaborated in the discussion about the transformations of a society, with radical changes in its daily life, due to the Armed Forces' takeover of power, when a group of people came to live, from the coup, into the clandestinity. The objective was to interpret the works of memory in a sense of recognition and construction of the multiple Chilean identities, from the moment they arise, at the beginning of the 21st century, analyzing its documentary character for historiography. Thus, an analysis of the performance of human rights was made, starting in the 1990s, and how they became fundamental to achieve the objectives of these memories, a theme that circulates in the justification of the work, guaranteeing the prevalence of human rights in Societies that experienced great ruptures. / O texto da dissertação compreende o esforço de dialogar com a historiografia acerca da História da Ditadura Chilena, também com teóricos da História que tratam sobre os caminhos da memória, relacionando-a com relatos feitos por sobreviventes e personagens das ditaduras no Cone Sul e no caso desta dissertação, a Ditadura Civil-Militar Chilena (set./1973 a março/1990). E se encerra com a produção áudio-visual e biográfica já existente dos testemunhos de diversas organizações, para explicar como se deu a clandestinidade no país. A análise foi feita a partir do questionamento da escrita do relato, indagando para que e para quem ele se dirige, assim como sobre o papel da memória e sua colaboração no esclarecimento dos fatos ocorridos em um período de forte repressão. Alguns sobreviventes das violações dos direitos humanos narraram suas experiências, a partir dos seus entendimentos e emoções. Dentro deste enfoque, também é analisado o papel do Estado como parte fundamental neste processo de reflexão sobre processos ditatoriais. Pois é através do uso e abuso de poder que se desencadeia a repressão e a violência, sabendo que tais atos tornaram-se conhecidos publicamente, quando se restaura a democracia, e até antes dela, pela colaboração daqueles que sobreviveram e se dispuseram a relembrar os momentos de clandestinidade. Esta dissertação encerra as atividades desempenhadas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Esta pesquisa ficou centrada na área “História, Poder e Cultura”. A linha de pesquisa “Cultura, Migrações e Trabalho” colaborou para a discussão sobre as transformações de uma sociedade, com mudanças radicais em seu cotidiano, em virtude da tomada de Poder por parte das Forças Armadas, quando um grupo de pessoas passou a viver, a partir do Golpe, na clandestinidade. O objetivo foi o de interpretar as obras de memória em um sentido de reconhecimento e construção das múltiplas identidades chilenas, a partir do momento em que elas surgem, no início do século XXI, analisando seu caráter documental para a historiografia. Assim, foi feita uma análise da atuação dos direitos humanos, a partir dos anos de 1990, e como eles tornaram-se fundamentais para se alcançar os objetivos destas memórias, tema este que circula na justificativa do trabalho, garantindo a prevalência dos direitos humanos em sociedades que vivenciaram grandes rupturas.

Die vorliegende Studie konzentriert sich auf die deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen im Feld des humanitären und friedensstiftenden Vor-Ort-Einsatzes. Dabei nimmt die Arbeit die verwickelten und konflikthaften Beziehungen im Bemühen der Politik um Normalität des deutsch-israelischen Verhältnisses in den Blick, ein Bemühen, das durch die historische Einzigartigkeit der Shoa immer schon unmöglich ist. Bestimmt wird die Perspektive der Untersuchung nicht von den vorherrschenden Paradigmen des Forschungsfeldes Internationale Beziehungen, sondern anhand zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements, das sich u.a. in der Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste ausdrückt. Dabei wird eine dezidiert akteurzentrierte Position eingenommen und mit Hilfe der Analysen von Makro-, Meso- und Mikroebenen, welche aufeinander bezogen werden, historische Darstellung, politiktheoretische Perspektiven mit kulturwissenschaftlichen Dimensionen verknüpft und für die transdisziplinäre Darstellung fruchtbar gemacht. Dargelegt wird, in welchem Spannungsfeld von unterschiedlichen politischen Interessen, sozialen Prozessen und historischen Diskursen sich die Aktivitäten deutscher NGOs in Israel bewegen und wie diese Spannungen auch das Selbstverständnis und die angestrebten Ziele einzelner Akteure maßgeblich beeinflussen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die vielseitigen Interessenkonflikte zwischen der NGO Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste und ihren israelischen Partnern in teilweise dominierenden bipolar ausgerichteten Diskursen gründen, welche neben den ethnischen, religiösen, sozialen und politischen Dimensionen auch immer eine übergreifende moralische Dimension inkludieren. Diese Aushandlungsprozesse im lokalen Einsatz der hier thematisierten NGO sind daher unweigerlich von der kollektiven historischen Erinnerung an die Shoah geprägt, die sich sowohl auf die Handlungsspielräume der deutschen NGO als auch auf die gesamten zwischenstaatlichen deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen auswirkt und daher die erhoffte Normalisierung im Sinne rein politischer Raison nicht realisierbar erscheinen lässt. Die Problematik der Auseinandersetzungen um Universalismus und Partikularismus der Shoah-Rezeption lassen sich somit auf staatlicher sowie zivilgesellschaftlicher Ebene nicht gänzlich auflösen. Die aus diesen unterschiedlichen Rezeptionen zu ziehenden Rückschlüsse ermöglichen es den Akteuren gänzlich unterschiedliche Perspektiven in der Arbeit vor Ort einzunehmen. Die Streitigkeiten zwischen „Sühne“ und „Frieden“ dominieren daher immer noch die Diskurse in- und außerhalb der Organisation.

Takes place in the city of Joinville (Santa Catarina) s trajectory between the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twentieth first century, the essays presented took the 150th anniversary of this town as beginning in the search for interpretation of the recent processes that have been changing the urban ways of live, as the growing instability of time and the fractures of the living space. In the first essay, the new sensibilities related to the past in the city of Joinville were put in discussion. Going against several documents, with emphasis for some news, reports, editorials and chronicles published in local journals, the intention was to perceive the relations of the inhabitants of this city with the time. In the second essay, the focus were the processes of (re)delineation of the ethnical boundaries that divide Joinville s daily life, trying to discovery the limits and possibilities of speeches that classified this town as a cosmopolitan city . Intent to the distinct trajectories of two ethnical groups that established, in recent years, their own characteristics in the city the Swiss and the Italian the intention was to present the negotiations, usually tense, that happened in the backstage of the 150th anniversary of Joinville. Oral speeches, produced from interviews with cultural leaders that represent both groups, were connected to the other references that based this work, especially, some practices to give memories a monumental aspect. At the end, some discords that were present in the process of research are presented, proposing some questions, just mentioned in the essays, which deserve more profound studies. / Este trabalho busca compreender, em forma de ensaios, as maneiras pelas quais os habitantes das cidades contemporâneas se relacionam com o tempo passado, procurando reconhecer, na ordinariedade do cotidiano vivido e experimentado, as implicações de um fenômeno denominado por alguns teóricos como cultura de memória . Ambientado nas trajetórias da cidade de Joinville (Santa Catarina) entre os anos finais do século XX e início do XXI, os ensaios apresentados tomaram as comemorações do Sesquicentenário desta cidade como ponto de partida na busca pela interpretação de processos recentes que têm alterado os modos urbanos de viver, tais como a crescente instabilidade do tempo e as fraturas do espaço vivido. No primeiro ensaio, as novas sensibilidades em relação ao passado da cidade de Joinville foram postas em questão. Contrapondo diversos documentos, com destaque para algumas notícias, matérias, editoriais e crônicas publicadas em periódicos locais, procurou-se perceber as relações dos habitantes desta cidade com o tempo. Já no segundo ensaio, o enfoque recaiu sobre os processos de (re)delineamento das fronteiras étnicas que cindem o cotidiano da cidade de Joinville, procurando desvendar os limites e possibilidades de falas que a classificam como uma cidade cosmopolita . Atento às distintas trajetórias de dois grupos étnicos que passaram a afirmar, em anos recentes, uma singularidade própria na cidade os suíços e os italianos , procurou-se apresentar as negociações, geralmente tensas, que permearam os bastidores das comemorações dos 150 anos de Joinville. Narrativas orais, produzidas a partir de entrevistas com lideranças culturais que representam estes grupos, foram costuradas às demais fontes que fundamentam este trabalho, em especial, algumas práticas de monumentalização de memórias. Ao fim do texto, algumas dissonâncias que marcaram o processo de pesquisa são apresentadas, propondo algumas problemáticas, apenas tocadas ao longo dos ensaios, que merecem estudos mais aprofundados

Muslims have the starring role in the mass media’s curriculum on otherness, which circulates in-between local and global contexts to powerfully constitute subjectivities. This study inquires into what it is like to be a female, Muslim student in Ontario, in this post 9/11 discursive context. Seven young Muslim women share stories of their high schooling experiences and their sense of identity in interviews and focus group sessions. They also respond to images of Muslim females in the print media, offering perspectives on the intersections of visual media discourses with their lived experience. This interdisciplinary project draws from cultural studies, postcolonial feminist theory, and post-reconceptualist curriculum theorizing. Working with auto/ethno/graphy, my own subjectivity is also brought into the study to trouble researcher-as-knower and acknowledge that personal histories are implicated in larger social, cultural, and historical processes. Using bricolage, I compose a hybrid text with multiple layers of meaning by juxtapositing theory, image, and narrative, leaving spaces for the reader’s own biography to become entangled with what is emerging in the text. Issues raised include veiling obsession, Islamophobia, absences in the school curriculum, and mass media as curriculum. Muslim females navigate a complex discursive terrain and their identity negotiations are varied. These include creating Muslim spaces in their schools, wearing hijab to assert their Muslim identity, and downplaying their religious identity at school. I argue for the need to engage students and teacher candidates in complicated conversations on difference via auto/ethno/graphy, pedagogies of tension, and epistemologies of doubt. Educators and researchers might also consider the possibilities of linking visual media literacy with social justice issues.
