Abstract The aim of the study is to reveal the nature of learning in local land-use planning activity and to examine the possibilities for the development of planning as a form of learning activity. The theoretical approach draws on the pragmatist and dialectical reorientation of systems theory and the related theory of learning organizations. The traditional, positivist systems approach to land-use planning is considered both to depoliticize planning and to make it unreflective. Critical theory as a basis of planning theory is also shown to be inadequate. Communicative planning theories that draw on critical theory are rather theories of emancipation in the context of planning than theories of planning per se. An alternative systems-theoretical view to land-use planning activity is presented, where critical and constructive aspects as well as ethical and pragmatic aspects are interlinked in the dialectical dynamics of planning as organizational and inter-organizational learning activity. Three subsystems within the system of local land-use planning are identified: expertise, politics and economics. The subsystems of land-use planning build upon the basic distinction between legitimate and illegitimate conduct. For each subsystem, the context of its existence is formed by the interaction of all subsystems. By acting, each subsystem inevitably changes its dialectical relationship to this context. Harmful changes are felt within the subsystem as inner contradictions that interfere with its decision-making activity. If the subsystem is unable to face these contradictions but instead resorts to the use of pathological power, they may develop into paralyzing double bind situations. The resolution of a double bind situation requires expansive learning by the subsystem. However, there are also contradictions in land-use planning that the subsystems are unable to resolve by expansive learning. Such inter-systemic contradictions stem from the dialectical relationship between the overriding requirement of legitimacy on one hand and the basic goals of expert knowledge and economic profit on the other. In the study a hypothesis is formulated, according to which these basic - and, in the conditions of modern society, permanent - contradictions in local land-use planning require such inter-organizational learning, which enables the creation of planning solutions that provide means for their task-related harmonization, and, in the longer term, contributes to the emergence of a participative planning culture where the contradictions can be handled legitimately, if not resolved.

La thèse focalise sur les processus de découverte musicale. Deux ordres de questions guident la thèse. Le premier porte sur le processus de découverte lui-même. Le second aborde les genres découverts, les règles gustatives et les modalités de l’ouverture des répertoires. En conclusion, l’origine sociale joue un rôle important dans les processus de découverte jusqu’à la fin du lycée tandis que l’accès aux études supérieures en infléchit l’effet. Les combinaisons des types de liens sociaux avec les différentes formes d’homophilie au sein des relations sont également décisives mais n’ont pas toujours les mêmes effets. L’usage des multiples dispositifs d’accès à la musique constituent des moyens privilégiés de découverte qui médiatisent les règles que les individus réinvestissent ensuite. Il semble enfin que l’ouverture des répertoires de goûts musicaux ne résulte pas d’une discussion sur les règles qui les fondent mais s’effectue la plupart du temps dans et par la pratique. / The thesis focuses on the processes of musical discovery. Two sets of questions guide the thesis. The first is about the discovery process itself. The second deals with the genres discovered, the taste rules and the modalities of the opening of repertoires. In conclusion, social origin plays an important role in the processes of discovery up to the end of high school, while the access to higher education modifies the effect. The combinations of the types of social ties with the different forms of homophilia within relationships are also decisive but do not always have the same effects. The use of multiple access devices to music is a privileged means of discovery that mediates the rules that individuals then reinvest. Finally, it seems that the opening of the repertoires of musical tastes is not the result of a discussion of the rules on which they are based, but is mostly done in and by practice.

Det är många barn som far illa av att leva med vårdnadshavare som har ett alkoholmissbruk. Dessa barn kan utveckla riskbeteenden och få anknytningsproblem, vilket kan hänga med långt senare i livet. Syftet med studien äratt undersöka individer som i sin barndom levt med en vårdnadshavare med ett alkoholmissbruk (eng; ACOA–Adult Children Of Alcoholics) och få en förståelse för deras upplevelser av socialt stöd i deras barndom, samt om de upplever att de har svårt att knyta relationer senare i livet. Syftet är också att se om det finns något samband mellan det upplevda stödet i barndomen och hur relationerna ser ut senare i livet. Teorier som använts är: Bronfenbrenners ekologiska modell, anknytningsteorin och dubbelbindning (eng; double bind). En kvalitativ forskningsmetod har använts och10 semistrukturerade intervjuer med ACOA har genomförts. Resultatet visade att ACOA upplevde ett svagt stöd i barndomen. ACOA upplevde att de i relationer senare i livet fick tillitsproblem som i vissa fall kundel eda till att ACOA fick det svårt att upprätthålla relationer och en hög självständighet. ACOA upplevde även en hög anpassningsförmåga. Två utsagor som inte gick att analysera var att ACOA försvarade andra på grund av den höga anpassningsförmågan samt att alkoholen kändes viktigare än individen själv. / There are many children who suffer from living with guardians who have an alcohol addiction. These children can develop risk behaviors and have attachment problems, which can keep up much later in life. The purpose of the study is to investigate individuals who in their childhood lived with a guardian with alcohol abuse (ACOA -Adult Childen Of Alcoholics) and gain an understanding of their experiences of social support in their childhood, and whether they experience that they have difficulty forming relationships later in life. The purpose is also to see if there is any connection between the perceived support in childhood and what ACOA relationships look like. Theories that been used are: Bronfenbrenner's ecological model, attachment theory and double bind. A qualitative research method has been used and 10 semistructured interviews with ACOA have been conducted. The results showed that the ACOA experienced weak support in childhood. ACOA experienced that in relationships later in life they had trust problems which could, in some cases, lead to ACOA finding it difficult to maintain relationships and a high degree of independence. ACOA also experienced a high degree of adaptability. Two statements that could not be analyzed were that the ACOA defended others due to the high adaptability and that alcohol felt more important than the individual himself. / <p>Handledares efternamn angivet på titelbladet som Waldermansson.</p>

The purpose of this experiment was to empirically study and document the double bind. Twenty outpatient clinical and twenty matched non-clinical adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 were studied. Three research questions were investigated. The first was the nature of the bodily responses in terms of cognitive complexity and emotional stress to inconsistent and consistent messages in the context of a close relationship. Cognitive complexity was measured by Reaction-time, and emotional stress by heart-rate and frequency of non-verbal movement (arm, leg and foot). The consistent and inconsistent messages were presented by the instrument developed by Reilly (in press) consisting of photographs and accompanying taped messages in a mother/child context. The second question studied was the nature of responses (double bound/non-double bound) made by the two groups to inconsistent and consistent messages. Finally, the nature of the attribution of meaning to messages, and the verbal/non-verbal focus used to do so by both groups, was studied. It was found that the inconsistent messages were more cognitively complex for both groups than consistent ones, and that inconsistent positive messages were the most complex of all. Perhaps this finding about inconsistent positive messages may be explained by their less frequent documentation in the double bind literature, and their not being part of the accepted social norm. Inconsistent messages were also found to be more stressful than consistent messages to both groups. This confirms the speculations in the theory of such communication being associated with subjective distress. In addition, the clinical group was found to make more double bound responses than the non-clinical group, especially in response to inconsistent messages. This is very supportive of the hypotheses of the double bind theory. Finally, it was found that meaning was correctly and unhesitatingly attributed to consistent messages by both groups. However there was less clarity and consensus in the attribution of meaning to the inconsistent messages by both groups. The non-clinical group tended to focus on non-verbal information in interpreting the messages, which is developmentally age-appropriate. The clinical group tended to focus at times on the non-verbal information, and at other times on the verbal or literal information, indicating a transitional stage between a developmentally younger stage and the age-appropriate stage. / Ph.

This study investigated the emotionally disruptive effects of double binding communication, as compared with overtly punitive, and warm, accepting interactions. Forty-two college undergraduates scoring above the mean on the Neuroticism Subscale of Eysenck's Personality Questionaire were each directed to play the part of a small child in a spontaneous role-played family interaction. A pre-post mood test (Multiple Adjective Affect Check List), sensitive to changes in depression, hostility, and anxiety was administered. It was found that subjects in the double-bind and punitive conditions evidenced significant mood disturbance while subjects in the control group did not (all ps < .05). Implications for Double Bind Theory were discussed.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Eduardo Fernandes Araújo.pdf: 4836297 bytes, checksum: b5494ad675ee0939328a959f51f5641d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-06-27 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo / This thesis comes from inquietudes concerning the ways of building knowledge through communicative processes either mediative or interactive, as well as the imaginary beings’ visual configuration. An example is the deformation of witchcraft into sorcery by the Christian inquisitors’ speeches, and the meaning variations the word “Sabbath” assumes in its etymological biography. During the research, we have observed that imaginary beings come up as communicative ambivalences or double binds that give rise transcontextual leaps towards abductive inferences, the birth of novel ideas. However, the instrumental epistemology of today’s communicologies, predominantly deductivist and transmissive, does not allow us approaching such ambivalences without the risk of amputating them. That is why we have sought another epistemological experimentation, which we call oblique. The core problem is to understand how the oblique sight of communication epistemology gets constituted since the articulation of concepts and ideas, and the resonance between ideas and traces. Our hypotheses suggest: the imaginary operates as a propagation of concepts and a provocation of ideas; ideas and concepts cooperate for the continuity of their semiotic configurations and the making of imaginaries; the oblique epistemology gets constituted since synchrodiachronic tracking to give rise events among ideas and concepts. Our epistemological object is the flows of resonance present in ambivalences. We pick up as empirical object: how the media show the monsters in their synchrodiachronic variations (corpus: cyborgs, aliens, witches, vampires, werewolves, dragons and feng-shuis). The overall objective is to contribute to another epistemology to the scientific field of communication and the definition of its scientific object, assuming as specific targets: to examine the dynamic concept-trace-idea and the proposal of an oblique epistemology; to detect underlying meaning bonds in ambivalences; to infer political consequences of synchrodiachronic resonances. The theoretical foundation comes from the dialogism between the notions of abduction and synechism, by Charles Peirce, and double bind and deuterolearning, by Gregory Bateson. Our methodological strategy follows the semiotic archeology of tracking to reconstruct the potential bonds of meaning among ambivalences. This experiment takes part in the discussions on communication epistemology and new communicologies. It also offers in contribution an epistemological proposal as renewal disposition to know cross discursive territories as if we were drones in swirls, by considering different phenomena in their controversies and witnessing those heterogeneous moments in which we invent and discard inventions. Eventually, knowing how to interweave us in speeches already constituted by the feasibility of new constitutions of understanding / Esta tese parte de inquietações acerca dos modos de conhecimentos oriundos dos processos comunicacionais mediativos e interativos, bem como da configuração visual de seres imaginários: exemplo disso é a deformação da bruxaria em feitiçaria pelos discursos pejorativos dos inquisidores cristãos, e as variações de significação que a palavra “sabá” assume em seu percurso etimológico. Durante a pesquisa, observamos que seres imaginários se caracterizam como ambivalência comunicativa ou duplo vínculo interpretativo, ensejando saltos transcontextuais rumo a inferências abdutivas, ou seja, ao nascimento de novas ideias. Contudo, a vigente epistemologia instrumental da comunicação, de caráter predominantemente dedutivista e transmissivo, não nos dá condições de abordar tais ambivalências sem o risco de amputá-las; daí porque buscamos outra experimentação epistemológica, que chamamos de oblíqua. O problema central é compreender como se constitui o olhar oblíquo da epistemologia da comunicação, a partir da articulação entre conceitos e ideias, e da ressonância entre ideias e rastros. Nossas hipóteses sugerem: o imaginário opera como propagação de conceitos e provocação de ideias; ideias e conceitos cooperam entre si na continuidade de suas configurações semióticas e efetivação de imaginários; a epistemologia oblíqua se constitui como rastreamento sincrodiacrônico, a fim de ensejar acontecimentos entre sistemas de ideias e conceitos. Nosso objeto epistemológico são os fluxos de ressonância presentes nas ambivalências, e daí recortamos o objeto empírico: como as mídias mostram os monstros em variações sincrodiacrônicas (corpus de análise: ciborgues, alienígenas, bruxas, vampiros, lobisomens, fengchuis e dragões). O objetivo geral é contribuir com outra epistemologia ao campo científico da comunicação e à definição de seu objeto científico, assumindo como objetivos específicos: examinar a dinâmica conceito-rastro-ideia e a proposta de uma epistemologia oblíqua; detectar vínculos de significação ainda latentes nas ambivalências; inferir consequências políticas das ressonâncias sincrodiacrônicas. A fundamentação teórica se baseia no dialogismo entre os conceitos de abdução e sinequismo, de Charles Sanders Peirce, e de duplo vínculo e deuteroaprendizagem, de Gregory Bateson. A estratégia metodológica pauta-se na arqueologia semiótica do rastreamento, com vistas a reconstituir os potenciais vínculos significantes entre ambivalências. Tal experimento se insere nos debates sobre epistemologia da comunicação e novas comunicologias, e oferece em contribuição uma proposta epistemológica como disposição outra para sabermos cruzar territórios discursivos como se fôssemos drones em redemoinhos, considerando distintos fenômenos em suas controvérsias, e testemunhando aqueles momentos em que heterogeneamente inventamos e descartamos invenções; sabermos, enfim, entremear-nos em discursos já instituídos pela viabilização de novas constituições do entendimento
