O presente estudo tem como tema principal o reconhecimento, a emancipação e a justiça na Teoria Crítica de Axel Honneth. A partir da exposição analítica de alguns textos do autor, procura-se compreender as fundamentações normativas sobre a relação entre justiça e práxis. O trabalho faz uma abordagem interdisciplinar sobre a concepção de justiça e suas possibilidades de realização na realidade social. O primeiro capítulo apresenta um esboço da Teoria Crítica de Horkheimer, Adorno e Habermas e as respectivas críticas de Honneth a esses modelos em sua tese de doutorado Kritik der Macht: Reflexionsstufen einer kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie. O segundo capítulo delineia os pressupostos e fundamentos da teoria do reconhecimento de Honneth, aportados em sua tese de livre docência, Luta por reconhecimento: a gramática moral dos conflitos sociais. O terceiro capítulo aborda a ideia de Honneth sobre justiça social e sua relação com redistribuição, segundo suas argumentações no debate com Nancy Fraser no livro Redistribution or Recognition? A Political-Philosophical Exchange. O quarto e último capítulo expõe analiticamente a teoria da justiça de Honneth, presente nas obras Sofrimento de indeterminação, The I in We e O direito da liberdade. Ao final, apresentam-se algumas reflexões sobre como a teoria da justiça de Honneth representa uma abordagem renovada do \"justo\" em relação às teorias da justiça liberais contemporâneas, pois, para o autor, a justiça só é efetivada quando são efetivadas as condições de realização intersubjetiva nas três esferas do reconhecimento recíproco. Além disso, apresentam-se as potencialidades e entraves desta teoria de se aproximar da práxis social e das possibilidades de emancipação. / This study concerns the theme recognition, emancipation and justice in Axel Honneth\'s Critical Theory. With the analyze of some of the author \'s writing, it tries to understand the normative foundations on the relationship between justice and praxis. It aims an interdisciplinary approach on the conception of justice and the possibilities of its realization in social reality. The first chapter presents an outline of the Critical Theory framework of Horkheimer, Adorno and Habermas, and Honneth\'s criticisms of them in his doctoral thesis Kritik der Macht: Reflexionsstufen einer kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie. The second chapter delineates the assumptions and foundations of Honneth\'s theory of recognition presented on the book Struggles for recognition: the moral grammar of social conflicts. The third chapter deals with Honneth\'s idea of social justice and its relationship with redistribution, according to his arguments in the debate with Nancy Fraser in the book Redistribution or Recognition? A Political-Philosophical Exchange. The fourth and final chapter presents Honneth\'s theory of justice, which can be found in his works Suffering from Indeterminacy, The I in We, and Freedom´s right. In the end it presents some reflections on how Honneth\'s theory of justice represents a renewed approach about \"the just\", comparing to the contemporary liberal theories of justice, because justice is only possible when the conditions of intersubjective realization can happen in the three spheres of reciprocal recognition. In addition, it presents the potentialities and obstacles of this theory for a rapprochement to social praxis and the possibilities of emancipation.

This ethnographic case study explored the insights and experiences of a small selection of working graduates from Dubai Women's College. Based on a literature review and a preliminary study, the following themes were identified and employed as stimuli for discussion: the balance between work and family responsibilities, gender issues in the workplace, issues of power relationships for women, coping with restrictions in an Arabic Islamic environment, reasons for work, and sources of influence and satisfaction. The research utilized feminist post-structural theory to collect the data and then analyze and interpret the comments made by the women. Self-reflexivity and transparency of the positionality of the researcher were critical in this research that relied on an unstructured personal interview approach. The research resulted in a rich description of the thoughts and concerns of five diverse women. Through discourse analysis, the dominant socio-cultural discourses in the areas of gender, marriage, kinship, ethnicity, meritocracy, materialism and religion that women interact with in this cultural environment were identified. The extent to which the women take up, disrupt and challenge these discourses was also explored with a view to suggest ways to 'better' women's lives. Implications of this study include an agenda for increased emancipation of women by greater freedom of choice through self awareness and the development of potential strategies to support empowerment.

<p>Föreliggande D-uppsats är en kvalitativ studie vilken handlar om kvinnor som valt att inte skaffa barn, men även om kvinnor som på ett eller annat är tveksamma till moderskapet, eller av olika skäl skaffat barn sent i livet. Respondenterna har i många avseenden känt sig som avvikare från normen där man vid en viss ålder och med vissa förutsättningar förväntas bilda familj. Följaktligen har studien därmed också kommit att avse det jag valt att kalla det omhuldade moderskapet, och varför detta är så uppvärderat, förväntat och ur samhälleligt perspektiv betraktat som självklart. Kvinnornas berättelser har visat att moderskapet inte alltid är självklart och inte heller önskat. Den teoretiska ramen omfattar sådant som kan leda till ökad förståelse för varför moderskapet är så uppvärderat och varför frivillig barnlöshet – så kallad barnfrihet – är nedvärderat och icke önskvärt. Studien berör också alternativa levnadssätt som inte inbegriper kärnfamilj, samt den enligt färsk statistik sjunkande nativiteten. Resultatet ger indikationer på ett samhälle där barn och familj inte är nödvändiga ingredienser, men också paradoxalt nog på att en antimodern nyfamilism står stark och outmanad – lika solid som självständigheten hos kvinnorna i studien visat sig vara.</p><p>  </p>

<p>Syftet med min diskursanalytiska uppsats har varit att förstå vad som händer i ett jämställdhetsprojekt inom förskolan där kunskap ses som viktig. Detta har jag undersökt genom frågeställningen: hur kan pedagogers subjektspositioner visa på kunskap, emancipation, förändring, makt och motstånd? Den teoretiska ramen består av poststrukturalistiska teorier hämtade från Lenz Taguchi, Foucault, Davies och Rose och det empiriska materialet är pedagogers och handledares utvärderingar från förskoleprojektet JämFör i Västerbotten. Textanalysen visar att de normativa inslagen består av ”att upptäcka”, ”att få ett seende” och ett ”tänk”, vilket förväntas leda till pedagogens frigörelse. Genom att jämställdheten formuleras som en kunskapsfråga, med litteratur som ger ett särskilt språkbruk, frammanas bilden av jämställdhet som en process som framför allt återfinns i pedagogernas medvetanden. Motståndet mot den dominerande diskursen visas genom att pedagogerna ser sig som redan jämställda eller att de utvecklar metoder som inte följer den dominerande diskursen. På så vis förhandlar de i viss mån själva om vad innebörderna i den emanciperade pedagogen skall bestå av.</p>

This essay explores the intertextual qualities in and between Kristian Lundberg’s works Yarden, Mörkret skulle vara som ljuset and Och allt skall vara kärlek. Read as a trilogy, it bears a thematic resemblance to Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy; an autofictional depiction of emancipation from alienation by grace. To reach this conclusion, I use Julia Kristeva’s theory of intertextuality and Roland Barthes’ post-structuralist differention of Work and Text together with his notion of the Paper-Author. Through a kaleidoscopic reading of the two trilogies, Dante and Kristian become pilgrims in the word’s true, etymological sense: foreigners, both religious and materialistic. As such, they walk the spiritual and material world making no distinction between the two towards a love whose essential nature is twofold: at once human and divine.

ABSTRACT MATURATION OF SHAVIAN WOMEN: A STUDY OF THE MATURATION PROCESSES OF FEMALE PRATOGONISTS IN PYGMALION AND MRS. WARREN&#039 / S PROFESSION M.A., Department of English Literature May, 2009, 112 pages George Bernard Shaw is a celebrated playwright for his depiction of emancipated women. His women, regardless of the conditions they are in at the beginning of the play, experience a maturation process in the flow of the events and especially discussions which direct the change in his characters. In this thesis, the maturation processes Vivie Warren and Eliza Doolittle experience are analyzed in the plays Mrs. Warren&#039 / s Profession and Pygmalion, respectively. Vivie is a typical Shavian heroine who is educated and free-spirited even at the beginning of the play. At the end, she chooses to start a professional life breaking with the domestic and social boundaries by rejecting to see her mother or marry Frank. Likewise, Eliza, who is a simple flower girl at the beginning of the play, seems to bear the free spirit Vivie has because she earns her living and makes her own decision of taking phonetics courses, which causes the events in the play to take place. At the end, she rejects marrying to support her life and chooses to pursue phonetics as a profession to earn her living. As a result, her free-spirited personality leads her to her maturation process. In this study, it is concluded that no matter what their starting point is, both Shavian women bear the characteristics of New Woman at the beginning of the play which facilitates their progress into New Women at the end of the plays.

This thesis mainly deals with the issue that if the policies of women&#039 / s emancipation implemented in Stalinist Central Asia were constructed on the basis of Marxist ideology. For this purpose, after how the issue of women
