Coquetel Molotov contra o sistema: a construção do arquétipo de um sujeito anarcopunk no documentário Punk Molotov - Rio de Janeiro (1983-1984) / Molotov cocktail against the system: the archetypes construction of anarcho-punk subjectivity in Punk Molotov documentary Rio de Janeiro (1983-1984)

Larissa Guedes Tokunaga 12 September 2016 (has links)
A presente pesquisa debruçar-se-á sobre o documentário Punk Molotov (1983-1984), dirigido por João Carlos Rodrigues, produção audiovisual que acompanha a expressão musical da banda carioca Coquetel Molotov (1981-1984). Tendo-se como escopo a discussão do modelo de sujeito anarcopunk que tal produção audiovisual constrói em seu enredo, buscar-se-á perquirir como as subjetividades são projetadas pelo diretor, que se apropria intuitivamente de referenciais anarquistas para mostrar a trajetória dos sujeitos no movimento punk da zona norte da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A problemática que norteará a investigação pode ser formulada da seguinte forma: como as concepções acerca do visual, musicalidade, esporte e ideologia anarquista desenvolvidas no registro de uma banda punk do Rio de Janeiro podem sinalizar a construção do arquétipo de um sujeito alternativo? Como o processo de formação do sujeito anarcopunk é descrito no bojo do documentário? Tomando-se como referencial o filósofo Félix Guattari e sua teoria sobre a micropolítica, pretende-se questionar em que medida o modelo de sujeito proposto pelo diretor se coaduna a uma valorização da ação direta, microscópica, no cotidiano da contemporaneidade. A interpretação do documento audiovisual ocorrerá por meio do cotejo dos discursos, músicas e imagens nele contidos e parte da teoria desenvolvida por autores pós-estruturalistas. / This research will investigate the Punk Molotov (1983-1984) documentary, directed by João Carlos Rodrigues, audiovisual production about the musical expression of Coquetel Molotov (1981-1984) band. Having as scope to discussion of the anarcho-punk archetype such audiovisual production builds on its plot, will be sought as to assert subjectivities are designed by the director, who intuitively appropriates anarchists referentials to show the trajectory of the subjects on the move Punk north of the city. The issues that will guide the research can be formulated as follows: how conceptions of visual, musicality, sports and anarchist ideology developed in the record of a punk band from Rio de Janeiro may signal the construction of the archetype of an alternative subject? As the process of \"formation\" of the subject is described anarcho-punk in the wake of the documentary? Taking as reference the philosopher Félix Guattari and his theory of micropolitics, we intend to question to what extent the subject model proposed by the director in line with a recovery of direct, microscopic action in the contemporary everyday. The interpretation of audiovisual document will occur through the collation of speeches, music and images contained therein and part of the theory developed by poststructuralist authors.

Urbanité et sentiment de nature : ethnographies comparées de la randonnée pédestre Corse – Chapada Diamantina (Brésil) / Urbanity and feeling of nature : comparative ethnography of hiking : Corsica (France) – Chapada Diamantina (Brazil)

Bragard, Romain 20 October 2009 (has links)
Cette recherche s’articule autour d’une hypothèse structurante : le sentiment de nature qui motive les randonneurs est un sentiment urbain. Aimer la nature, rechercher un contact physique avec elle, dépenser énergie et argent pour la parcourir et éprouver des sentiments extra-ordinaires, sont des actes qui s’inscrivent dans une trame culturelle moderne. Les excursionnistes du GR20 (Corse) et de la Chapada Diamantina (Bahia, Brésil) sont héritiers d’une histoire de l’idée de nature, d’une histoire de l’individu et d’une histoire du temps libre. Ils sont mus par un désir de nature, qui s’élabore dans le quotidien urbain, et dont les conditions pratiques d’émergence sont comparables. Mais la forme que prend le « rituel excursif » dans chacune des deux localités varie en fonction de structures sociales et de « mythes nationaux » distincts. On observe ainsi que les randonneurs français vivent avec force le « mythe de l’individu » (Miguel Benasayag), égalitariste et autonomiste, et que les randonneurs brésiliens performent une scène sociale hiérarchisée, qui les situe entre le guide qui les sert et la nature divinisée qui les dépasse. Dans les deux cas, une question politique peut être posée : le sentiment de nature n’a-t-il pas pour fonction impensée de masquer et de légitimer une « démocratie sélective » (Jessé Souza), qui s’articule à une dépolitisation du rapport à la nature- matière première ? / This research is articulated around a founding hypothesis: the feeling of nature that motivates the hikers is an urban feeling. Loving the nature, searching for a physical contact with it, spending energy and money to go through it and experience extraordinary feelings are all elements of the modern cultural weft. Tourists at the GR20 (Corsica) and at the Chapada Diamantina (Bahia, Brazil) inherited from the history of the idea of nature, from the history of the individual and from the history of free time in western civilization. They are moved by the desire of nature, which is worked out in the urban routine, and which emergence conditions are similar in both countries. However, the features of the « hiking ritual » in each of these places change according to their social structures and their « national myths ». In one hand, we can see how French tourists in Corsica experience and act the « myth of the individual » (Miguel Benasayag), fulfilled by equality and autonomy values. On the other hand, Brazilian tourists perform a hierarchical social scene, which places them between the guide who serves them and the natural divinity that overwhelms them. In both cases, a political question can be asked: does the feeling of nature hide and legitimate a « selective democracy » (Jessé Souza) that is connected to a depoliticization of nature as raw material ?

Fondement et représentation de la sociologie compréhensive / Basis and representations of interpretive sociology

Wang, Yun 31 January 2014 (has links)
Cette thèse a pour but d’étudier les racinements et les représentations de la sociologie compréhensive. L’étude sur le fondement permet de représenter tous les éléments philosophiques, psychiques, sociologiques et historiques présents dans le monde réel et mental, et qui peuvent nous aider à mener à bien notre étude sociologique. La représentation nous pousse à établir un système de pensée sans chercher positivement la causalité et les lois générales. Le sens de la vie, la morale, l’éthique, etc. liées à l’être humain non seulement peuvent mais doivent être interprétées par la compréhension sociologique, car elles ne sont pas séparées de l’activité humaine dans les phénomènes. Sans confondre avec un aprioriste moral, l’idée vitale détermine que dans la recherche sociologique, la vie des hommes est considérée comme la finalité de toutes les activités. / This dissertation aims to study the basis and representations of interpretive sociology. The study on the basis allows representing all philosophical, psychological, sociological and historical elements present in the real world and mind, who can help us achieve our sociological study. Representation leads us to establish a system of thought without positively seeking causality and general laws. The meaning of life, morality, ethics, etc. related to humans not only can but also must be interpreted by the sociology, because they are not separated from human activity in the phenomena. Not to be confused with a moral apriorist, the vital idea determines that in sociological research, human life is regarded as the goal of all activities.

Work, women and welfare: a critical gendered analysis of social development with special reference to income generation projects in the transition period in South Africa (1994 – 2001)

Minnaar-McDonald, Marie L. January 2013 (has links)
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD / Studies by feminists frequently investigate reasons why poverty reduction strategies involving income and work generation projects for poor women fail to deliver on set economic and social goals to provide jobs, income, education and skills training. Several reviews over a number of decades indicate a prevalence of welfare-oriented interventions that apparently contradict the intended transformative potential of economic empowerment, gender equality goals and anticipated outcomes included during the design of national policies and programmes. Different theoretical frameworks have, over time, been called upon to account for and have attempted to explain these shifts, changes and contradictions. Studies of women and work in developing countries in the 1970s and 1980s were mostly led by economists who commented on the perceived failure of policies and projects, and continued to investigate the cause of this anomaly. Given that the majority of these experiments combined both social and economic goals these policy findings were later viewed with skepticism leading to further probes about recurring failures, and the lack of progress to improve the status of poor women. After decades of scientific research on gender inequality and a slow pace of change with regard to poor women’s economic status in developing countries, feminists revealed a disturbing finding: the lack of sound, ethical evaluation criteria and frameworks. This influenced a dramatic shift to alternative normative (value-based) approaches in which ethical and moral debates on development policy implementation flourished. Pointing to a general lack of empirical studies addressing policy implementation, arguments by these standpoint feminists proposed that policy and project implementation in different contexts lag far behind achievements in research and policy evidence. This assumption about the lack of integration of policy evidence with appropriate feminist theory, underpins my main motivation in this thesis. My intention is to apply a new feminist lens in order to examine the gendered nature of the historical period in which transitional policies in South Africa were implemented in the aftermath of authoritarian apartheid policies. The current thesis argues for adoption of the political ethics of care (PEOC) as an appropriate normative feminist policy research approach providing excellent criteria for exploring the gendered dimensions of new social policies and programmes implemented during the first policy cycle of reform towards democratising South African society (also referred to as the transition 1994-2001). At the time of its conception, my investigation proceeded with the realisation that iv many projects and programmes were evolving; and that contextual impact assessment criteria in the field of gender and development policy remained an emerging new research terrain lacking appropriate and critical gendered social indicators for monitoring, evaluation and theory building. Most of the newly formulated policies included results of previous research recording the historical role and socio-economic effects of apartheid policies. However, an urgent need existed for new critical gender perspectives to address important post-apartheid issues of vulnerable groups – such as women, youth, physically challenged and children – and arguing for their full citizenship, including economic citizenship and integration into job creation. The evolving policy relational structures that were embarked on during this reform, such as democratic state-civil society partnerships, new democratic decision-making, dialogical processes and policy service programmes, were in dire need of exploration and re-examination using alternative and new feminist theoretical lenses. This study explored the field of social policy implementation in the context of this transition period. It investigated the phenomenon of income generation projects (IGPs), being a development that was new to the South African professional social work disciplinary field. Used as a key macroeconomic policy mechanism, IGPs were embedded in policy relational structures (in the form of partnerships or consortiums) during the transition period. They formed a key part of policy interventions in social development as prescribed by the White Paper on Social Welfare (Department of Welfare, 1997b) having a dual purpose: to reduce poverty and unemployment, and to promote gender-sensitive strategies. The qualitative nature of the design used for this study is combined with a post-modernist and post-structuralist, gendered case study approach drawing on programme evaluation research techniques. Direct observation, documentary analysis, depth interviews and focus groups sessions formed part of a comprehensive data-gathering research strategy used in different micro-project and community settings in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Three broad research questions were pursued throughout this enquiry, addressing the following: the extent to which income generation projects as proposed within the National Developmental Policy Framework were addressing poverty and gender inequality in a satisfactory way; what appropriate normative frameworks and concepts to study these existed; and whether the PEOC could serve as an alternative framework; and how a user perspective could be incorporated in public debates and policy-making. v A sample of four partnership project cases, targeting poor black women (and men) from three different community settings – being semi-rural, peri-urban and urban – as primary beneficiaries met the selection criteria for this longitudinal, in-depth study that drew on purposive and theoretical sampling approaches. All the projects or programmes included in the sample were engaged in job creation and social development work involving multiple stakeholders and partners. A significant part of the study focussed on the formation of partner relationships or consortiums between government, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), together with grassroots community-based self-help project participants (beneficiary) groups and individuals. Information and data collected were audio-taped, transcribed and analysed to assess the impact and social effects of newly implemented policy structures and processes on subjects. Alternative feminist theoretical and analytical approaches, being a care perspective that combined critical gender assessment methodologies and feminist ethics (political ethic of care) were applied to argue for more critical and appropriate, gendered research studies that could capture the important link between macroeconomic policies and evidence of unpaid care work embedded and performed within the development sector. By foregrounding the invisible unpaid care work performed by low intensity citizens in this sector, the state’s role and interaction as a development partner with NGOs and poor citizens in the implementation of social development policies that involved job creation and IGPs became apparent. This thesis concludes by reiterating feminist proposals for a more inclusive notion of citizenship and calling for on-going studies to monitor perspectives on gender equality and work creation. More importantly, it suggests that PEOC could serve as an important research and analytical framework to document and integrate the right and access, by both men and women, to care, a critically important gender equality principle so often neglected in existing studies and scholarship.

A Place for Us? Baby Boomers, Their Elders, and the Public Library

Robbins, Wendy L. January 2012 (has links)
Canada’s aging population is expected to have an impact on all public institutions; for public libraries, the emergence of a large, multi-generational user group of older adults challenges the current paradigm of services to seniors. This thesis examines a subset of this user group: baby boomer library patrons who are in a caring relationship with elders. It investigates how these patrons interact with the public library both for themselves, and as carers, in order to reveal library-related issues particular to this growing segment of the population. The study takes place within a conceptual framework derived from the ethic of care, and from emerging theories of library-as-place rooted in the fields of human geography and sociology. Using a qualitative instrumental case study method, long form interviews were conducted with respondents recruited through theoretical sampling extended by snowball sampling. While not generalizable, findings suggest that while these baby boomer respondents value their libraries deeply, there is potential to create services and practices more attuned to the needs of older adults who are in relationships with elders.

The research has been developed through the qualitative approach. The study carried out on the intervention, show that, researcher and participants of research are historic and contextualized people, they are both elements of scientific do. In order to develop the research, it was created in the classroom, situations of participation, discussion and dialogue about subjects that have relation with ethic. This dissertation is justified by its methodology which intend identify opinions and attitudes to be taken in each fact related in the classes, in face to the cultural and social diversity. The data was collect in a school in Presidente Prudente SP, with one hundred and ten adolescents: sixty one boys and forty nine girls, between the ages of 13 and 16. The findings show us that young people need dialogue and orientation, they seem to be lost in their attitudes and how they are developing the opinion formation process, the dialogue with their parents is important. / A modalidade de pesquisa proposta teve como objetivo principal vivenciar e refletir sobre situações didáticas, dinâmicas, de estudo de temas éticos e de valores sociais. Foram desenvolvidos atividades de reflexão diante dos seguintes assuntos abordados: Relação de convivência entre Pais e Filhos, Traição, Sexualidade, Drogas, Preconceito e Violência. No trabalho efetivado, a modalidade da pesquisa utilizada foi a abordagem qualitativa, em que a intervenção realizada mostra que investigador e investigado são sujeitos criados historicamente e contextualizados, sendo ambos elementos do fazer científico. Procurou-se criar e vivenciar em sala de aula situação de participação, discussão e diálogo sobre assuntos relacionados à ética. Justifica-se tal pesquisa pelo próprio apelo que a metodologia oferece que é a de identificar perante as diversidades cultural e social, as opiniões e atitudes a serem tomadas em cada fato relatado nas aulas. Um total de 110 adolescentes foi participante dessa pesquisa sendo 61 meninos e 49 meninas na faixa etária de 13 a16 anos de uma unidade escolar de Presidente Prudente SP. Podemos constatar no andamento das aulas, nos questionários respondidos pelos alunos e nas conversas informais que os jovens necessitam de diálogo e orientação, parecem estar perdidos em suas atitudes e estando em fase de formação de opinião, o diálogo com os pais é de grande valia.

Contrôle et régulation des établissements de crédit : contribution à l'étude de l'efficacité de la régulation des établissements de crédit / Efficiency and performance of the bank regulation through a study of French and EU norms

Bettan Demaret, Gérald 15 December 2015 (has links)
L'établissement de crédit, acteur majeur de l'économie mondiale, est source de préoccupations suite aux nombreuses crises subies depuis près d'un siècle. La répétition des évènements démontre que les solutions adoptées n'ont pas permis de prévenir efficacement les crises suivantes. À la globalisation des activités de l'établissement, au développement de systèmes parallèles, à la technicité grandissante des activités ou à l'innovation permanente, la régulation tente d'apporter une réponse, souvent en décalage temporel, technique ou géographique, mais devant pour autant répondre à la nécessité impérieuse d'efficacité que l'ensemble des parties attendent. L'inflation législative et l'accroissement du nombre d'autorités de contrôle apparaissent comme les fruits d'un long processus de régulation débuté il y a maintenant plusieurs années en Europe. Cette réponse constante construit un droit de la régulation fondé sur une Loi bancaire inadaptée, ne reposant pas sur un mécanisme équilibré de régulation censé permettre aux différentes normes constituantes, de gagner en efficacité. Cette dernière tient à la pérennité de la norme, sa souplesse, sa prévisibilité, son accessibilité et une inclinaison volontaire à son application par les acteurs. On le voit, d'un marché commun, censé développer les secteurs économiques, nous sommes arrivés aujourd'hui à un marché unique destiné à mieux réguler la sphère bancaire. Perçu comme un écosystème, le secteur bancaire paraît en réalité être une biosphère, dans laquelle la régulation des établissements de crédit, constituée de normes vivantes de droit, doit évoluer pour s'adapter. À chaque temps de la régulation, une réponse différente apparaît possible et souhaitable. À notre sens, l'efficacité de la régulation viendra d'une complémentarité des acteurs privés, nouveaux régulateurs et sources de normes, ainsi que des autorités publiques de régulation. La régulation des établissements de crédit doit s'appliquer selon le rythme de l'entreprise, distinguant les temps importants, en conjuguant les impératifs de chacune des parties, au moyen de processus corégulateurs tout en gardant comme base de réflexion l'éthique, garantie d'équilibre et d'efficacité. / Analyze efficiency and performance of the bank regulation through a study of french and EU laws and rules. Propose the creation of a new banking regulation system founded on ethic and coregulation.
