Making sense of sustained part-time working through stories of mothering and paid work

MacGill, Fiona January 2014 (has links)
The overall aim of the research was to understand the potential impact of sustained part-time working on women’s identities with regards to motherhood and work. Despite an implicit assumption in public discourse, policy and research that mothers will resume full-time careers once their children are ‘older’, half of working mothers with their youngest child at secondary school are working part-time (ONS, Q3, 2011). Often in the literature ‘good’ part-time working has been framed as short-term (see for example Tilly, 1996). The part-time ‘hidden brain drain’ (Equal Opportunities Commission, 2005) has been described as a waste of education and skills (Connolly and Gregory, 2010) and contributing to gender inequality (Walby, 2007). This PhD explored the life stories of twenty university educated, partnered mothers of older children (youngest at secondary school), who had mostly worked part-time since becoming mothers. Dialogic narrative analysis (Frank, 2010) was used to explore how these women made sense of where they had ended up through their story telling. A key finding is that for these women ‘becoming’ a part-time working mother was neither an informed ‘choice’, nor a fixed orientation, but was an ongoing process of negotiation, within a matrix of inter-related, constantly shifting and interacting tensions. Compromises to their jobs often became more extensive than expected and a continuing need to ‘be there’ for teenagers was unanticipated. Damage to ‘career’ is conceptualised as a ‘creeping trauma’. This is considered in light of the mothering stories indicating this was a price worth paying. The majority of women were engaging in a narrative of reorientation, using various strategies to reframe standards of ‘good’ working and the meaning of work within life. Success in reorientation differed according to individual experiences of constraints and opportunities.

No. of bitstreams: 1 JoseXarao.pdf: 1413710 bytes, checksum: fa6148c8c30c304e6d086d27e7ce1bfb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-04-30 / Milton Valente / Crise e revolução: lugar e modo da transformação social, segundo Karl Marx é um estudo sobre a correlação entre os conceitos de crise e revolução na obra marxiana. Comumente esses termos têm sido associados de forma subordinada, ou a uma teoria da revolução cujo estopim é a crise, ou a uma teoria das crises cujo desfecho é a revolução. Neste trabalho, sustentamos a tese de que somente sob um enfoque filosófico reunindo os dois termos em uma teoria da criação e revolução das formas políticas é que ambos os termos podem ser coerentemente relacionados, tornando plausível a abordagem política (teoria da revolução) e a abordagem econômica (teoria das crises). / Crisis and revolution: place and manner of social change, according to Karl Marx it is a study on the correlation between the concepts of crisis and revolution in the marxian work. Commonly these terms have been associated as subordinated either to the theory of revolution, which the spark is a crisis, or to a theory of crisis, which the outcome is a revolution. In this paper we defend the thesis that just under a philosophical focus combining the two terms into the theory of creation and revolution of the political forms is that both terms may be coherently related, becoming plausible the political approach (theory of revolution) and the economical approach (theory of crisis).

Administração e política : que relação é esta?

Filippin, Marcelo January 2017 (has links)
Este estudo é sobre a relação entre administração e política. Trata-se de uma tese teórica que, além de compilar o debate no cenário internacional e nacional, pretende avançar nas discussões a respeito. Apoia-se, principalmente, no referencial teórico da administração pública e da ciência política, desenvolvido a partir da contribuição decisiva dos textos clássicos de Woodrow Wilson (The Study of Administration), Frank Goodnow (Politics and Administration: a study in government) e Max Weber (Parlamento e Governo na Alemanha Reordenada: crítica política do funcionalismo e da natureza dos partidos e, Política como Vocação). Apoia-se também em estudos contemporâneos que, a partir dos referidos clássicos, seguiram o debate percorrendo três caminhos distintos. O primeiro pela via da dicotomia política-administração que retrata política e administração como fenômenos distintos e separados. O segundo pela via da complementaridade que propõe uma visão integradora entre política e administração, considerando que as práticas administrativas são fundamentalmente fenômenos políticos. O terceiro pela via da afirmação direta de que administração é política. Na esteira desse terceiro caminho, esta tese é uma afirmativa de que a administração é política, mas assim o é em seu próprio “espaço existencial”. Então, a partir das especulações sobre “modos de vida”, a administração é situada naquele modo de vida que lhe é próprio, qual seja, o modo de vida prática ou modo de vida produtiva. É neste “espaço existencial” que a administração é política, portanto, a referida relação deve ser pensada considerando a preservação não apenas deste espaço, mas daquele que é próprio da política “por excelência”. Para assim pensar a natureza política da administração, recupera-se a ideia de “bom governo” de Hannah Arendt, cuja abordagem permite compreender o lugar da administração na vida política. / This study is about the relationship between administration and politics. It is a theoretical thesis that, in addition to compiling the debate on the international and national scene, intends to advance in the discussions about it. It is based mainly on the theoretical reference of public administration and political science, developed from the decisive contribution of the classic texts of Woodrow Wilson (The Study of Administration), Frank Goodnow (Politics and Administration: a study in government) and Max Weber (Parliament and Government in Reordered Germany: political critique of functionalism and the nature of parties and, Politics as Vocation). It is also supported by contemporary studies that, following these classic authors, continued the debate in three different roads. The first is via the politicsadministration dichotomy that portrays politics and administration as distinct and separate phenomena. The second, through complementarity, proposes an integrative vision between politics and administration, considering that administrative practices are fundamentally political phenomena. The third is by way of direct assertion that administration is politics. Following this third road, this thesis assert that the administration is politics, but so it is in its own “existential space”. Thus, from the speculations on “ways of life”, the administration is situated in that way of life that is its own, that is, the practical way of life or productive way of life. It is in this “existential space” that administration is politics, therefore, the said relation must be thought considering the preservation not only of this space, but of that which is proper to politics “par excellence”. To think about the political nature of the administration, the idea of “good government” of Hannah Arendt is recovered, whose approach allows the understanding of the place of the administration in the political life.

O \'De libero arbitrio\' de Agostinho de Hipona / Augustine of Hippo\'s De libero arbitrio

Taurisano, Ricardo Reali 22 June 2007 (has links)
Este trabalho tem por objetivos, além de apresentar uma tradução da primeira parte do De libero arbitrio libri tres, de Agostinho de Hipona, empreender um estudo, dos três livros, em seus diferentes aspectos, retóricos e filosóficos. O De libero arbitrio, apesar de seu sentido de unidade, tem características específicas em cada uma de suas três partes. O livro I, de forte influência estóica, apresenta-se um diálogo; o livro II, se mantém a mesma estrutura dialógica, apresenta, porém, evidentes características neoplatônicas. Se as duas primeiras partes podem dizer-se dialéticas, a terceira, no entanto, sofre grave transformação, tanto em sua dispositio, quando Agostinho abdica da forma dialogal para empreender um longo discurso contínuo, como em sua elocutio, ao lançar mão de uma linguagem que, de modo inequívoco, evidencia uma mudança não só de auditório como de pensamento. O De libero arbitrio, em seu livro III, torna-se, a certa altura, uma obra de teologia, em que a concepção platônicosocrática de mundo, do Agostinho dos primeiros dois livros, cede espaço a uma visão mais cristã, influenciada sobremodo pela teologia do apóstolo Paulo, uma visão menos otimista do ser humano como ser autônomo e capaz de soerguer-se, por sua livre iniciativa. Essa mudança conceitual considerável, em seus aspectos discursivo e filosófico, evidencia uma alteração muito mais profunda, uma espécie de turning point, não apenas na obra e na vida do próprio homem, então não mais o filósofo e sim o presbítero de Hipona; não mais o pensador neoplatônico, e sim o doutor eclesiástico; mas também um turning point para a época, demarcando, de certo modo, o fim de toda uma civilização, o fim do mundo antigo, com a derrocada da visão clássica do homem, e o conseqüente princípio da era medieval. / This work has as main objectives, besides offering a translation of the first part of the De libero arbitrio libri tres of Augustine of Hippo, undertake a study of the three books, in its different aspects, rhetorical and philosophical. The De libero arbitrio, in spite of its sense of unity, has specific characteristics in each of its three parts. Book I, predominantly influenced by Stoicism, shows itself a dialog; book II, although maintaining the same dialogical structure, shows, nevertheless, evident Neoplatonic characteristics. If the two first parts may be called dialectical, the third, however, is the object of a severe metamorphosis, as in its dispositio, when Augustine resigns the cross-examination form to undertake a long uninterrupted discourse; as in its elocutio, when he adopts a style that undoubtedly makes clear a change not only in his auditory, but in his thought as well. The De libero arbitrio, then, in its third book becomes at a certain point a theological work, in which the Platonic-Socratic comprehension of the world of the young Augustine (of the first two books) yields to a more Christianized view, much influenced by the theology of the apostle Paul, which sustains a less optimistic image of man as a autonomous being, capable of raising himself through his free choice of the will. This remarkable conceptual change, in its discursive and philosophical aspects, shows a still deeper mutation, a kind of \"turning point\", not only in the works and life of the man, no longer the philosopher, but the presbyter of Hippo; no longer the Neoplatonic thinker, but the Doctor of the Church; but also a \"turning point\" to the epoch, delimiting, to a certain extent, the end of a civilization, the end of Antiquity, with the overthrow of the classical view of man and the consequential beginning of the mediaeval era.

Gramsci e o debate em torno da filosofia da prÃxis / Gramsci and the debate on the philosophy of praxis

Jecson GirÃo Lopes 29 April 2013 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / A presente dissertaÃÃo margeia em torno da discussÃo sobre a maneira pela qual Gramsci debate com os autores de seu tempo, principalmente com Nicolai BukhÃrin, defensor, segundo Gramsci, de um marxismo vulgar, devido sua compreensÃo mecanicista (economicista), fatalista, pelo uso do positivismo na filosofia da prÃxis, marxismo, (materialismo vulgar) e Benedetto Croce, a partir de sua ideia revisionista da filosofia da prÃxis (neo-idealismo: historicismo idealista, conforme Gramsci), como sendo apenas uma metodologia de interpretaÃÃo como outra qualquer, tendo, assim, no marxismo, nada de extraordinÃrio em relaÃÃo a outras filosofias. Utilizamos para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho a leitura dos Cadernos do cÃrcere nas suas versÃes italiana e brasileira; os principais textos dos autores com os quais Gramsci trava o debate, dando destaque para dois, a saber: com BukhÃrin, o Tratado de materialismo histÃrico; com Croce, o Materialismo storico ed economia marxistica. Ademais, utilizamos tambÃm os principais comentadores sobre a obra do italiano da Sardenha, os que o defendem e os que o criticam. Em suma, mostramos que Gramsci busca inadiavelmente recolocar o marxismo no territÃrio da histÃria concreta, isto Ã, pela via do materialismo histÃrico, operado pela dialÃtica, mostrando, assim, sua originalidade, autonomia em relaÃÃo a outros quadros filosÃficos e desse modo asseverando que somente pelo territÃrio da filosofia da prÃxis, as massas, as classes âsubalternasâ, os operÃrios, poderiam tomar consciÃncia crÃtica sobre as suas respectivas situaÃÃes e, assim teriam a possibilidade de forjar uma nova sociedade, um novo mundo, sempre novo, sob o viÃs de um humanismo e de um historicismo absoluto. AÃ, portanto, està centrada a ideia que Gramsci tem da filosofia da prÃxis enquanto marxismo e do que ela à capaz enquanto suscitadora de uma nova cultura.

Organização do conceito “Nova Classe Média”, dialética do consumo e superexploração renovada do trabalho

Abdala, Paulo Ricardo Zilio January 2014 (has links)
O discurso oficial sustenta que o modelo de desenvolvimento brasileiro da última década baseia-se no binômio investimento em infraestrutura e expansão do mercado de massa (DWECK, CHAVES e CHERNAVSKY, 2013). Por sua vez, a ampliação do mercado consumidor no país ocorreu a partir da incorporação de novos consumidores, base do processo difundido como o surgimento de uma suposta nova classe média. Essa chamada classe é, na realidade, um estrato de renda, definido a partir de limites financeiros superiores e inferiores estabelecidos arbitrariamente para criar uma imagem positiva do país, um movimento típico da ciência da ocultação, aquela que tenta encobrir os problemas históricos do subdesenvolvimento. Ao logo deste ensaio, demonstro as inconsistências na lógica interna que sustenta o conceito de nova classe média, rejeitando sua organização. Em seu lugar, proponho outro olhar teórico para o fenômeno, baseado nas categorias dialética do consumo, a partir de Álvaro Vieira Pinto (2008), e superexploração do trabalho, parte da Teoria Marxista da Dependência (TMD), conforme postulada por Ruy Mauro Marini (1991a). Esse procedimento permite analisar o aumento do consumo em sua articulação com as classes sociais, o trabalho e a produção, relações inseridas nas contradições do capitalismo dependente. Portanto, nesta Tese defendo o argumento de que a estratégia de expansão mercado de massa oculta, através do conceito de nova classe média, as contradições do capitalismo dependente e renova a superexploração do trabalho no consumo de não-consumidores. / Official discourse sustatins that the brazilian development model in the last decade is based on the binomial: investments in infrastructure and mass-market expansion. My point of departure in this Thesis is the growth of the consumer market originated in the incorporation of new consumers, the base of the process known as the emergence of the Brazilian new middle class. This so called class is, in fact, an income stratum, defined by superior and inferior financial limits arbitrarily established to create a positive image of the country, a typical movement of the occultation science, one that tries to uncover underdevelopment historical problems. Throughout this research, I demonstrate the inconsistencies in the internal logic that sustains the concept of new middle class, rejecting it. Instead, I propose another theoretical approach, based on the categories dialectics of consumption, by Álvaro Vieira Pinto (2008), and overexploitation of labor, by Ruy Mauro Marini (1991a). This procedure allows analyzing the increase in consumption in its articulation to the categories of social classes, labor and production, relations merged in the contradictions of the dependent capitalism. Eventually, I defend the following argument in this Thesis: the strategy that organizes the expansion of mass-market hides, behind the new middle class concept, the contradictions of the dependent capitalism and renews the non-consumers overexploitation of labor.

Trapped in Transition: Examining first-semester college students’ discursive struggles about home and school

Reynolds, Molly A. 01 January 2013 (has links)
The study examines how messages to, from, and concerning home may impact first-semester college student retention. The current study extends previous retention research in several ways. Rather than collect data regarding retention after students drop out, this study analyzed free write responses of 135 participants while they were enrolled in 15 sections of CIS 110 (Composition and Communication I) throughout the course of the Fall 2010 semester. Using relational dialectics theory (RDT) (Baxter & Montgomery, 1996) as a sensitizing framework, this study identified three discursive struggles and associated radiants of meaning present in the free write responses of these 135 first semester college students. Specifically, students identified experiencing the discursive struggles of independence, integration, and expression during the first semester of college. Non-returning students also identified these same three discursive struggles. However, non-returning students identified the discursive struggle of expression much more than did the returning students. Ultimately, this dissertation study proposed practical implications for students, parents, and the academy regarding how messages to, from, and about home might impact the transition of first-semester students from high school to college.

Nature vs. culture in sustainable environmental management / by Ruth Ananka Loubser

Loubser, Ruth Ananka January 2005 (has links)
The material of this study includes literature on the historically bound nature of the ideographical nature vs. culture polarity. From this material, general concepts of "nature" and "culture" are formed on the basis of value in the context of environmental management. Then, the existence of a polar dualism (nature vs. culture) is indicated via a transcendental critique of the worldview underlying the construction of this relationship. It is shown that the polarity is asymmetrical, causing a hierarchical organization in the Western ontology. The nature/culture hierarchical polarity is subjected to a less radical deconstruction and a non-dualistic, less reductionist conception of "nature" and "culture" formulated. This enables a foresee ably sustainable environment in terms of quality of life of the human being in totality. / Thesis (M.A. (Philosophy))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Dialectical diffusion: the Rockefeller Foundation, Anil Gupta, and interactions between formal science and indigenous knowledge during India's Green Revolution

Dyck, Jason Glenn 04 January 2012 (has links)
Dominant narratives of the green revolution focus on the top-down dissemination of technology produced by global scientific networks into developing regions or nations, but comparatively little scholarship has been produced regarding the forms of local knowledge which were transferred during the same process. This thesis will examine several important sites of interaction between formal scientific networks and indigenous knowledge with a focus on moments of historical transition in methodology. A main contention of this thesis is that this dissemination was not just a top-down flow of Western technology into Indian villages, but was rather a dialectical process by which class interest and reductionist science moulded the interaction between disparate knowledge systems. The focus will be an exposition of changes in research methodologies pioneered by the Rockefeller Foundation’s Indian Agriculture Program, the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, and the founder of an indigenous knowledge database NGO, Anil Gupta.
