Everyday practice often goes unquestioned. Yet in Gold Coast society during the early twentieth century, everyday habits and practices served as an important device for both subalterns and elites to negotiate status or contest colonial control. Between 1900 and 1920, the Gold Coast was experiencing many changes that offered opportunities for actors to influence, negotiate, or contest emerging everyday habits and experiences. The monitoring and modification of everyday habits provided a way for the British colonial government to consolidate its rule in the Gold Coast following the period of military expansion in the late nineteenth century. For many Gold Coasters, increased access to education, the expansion of wage labour and the cocoa industry, led to a reconfiguration of social status and relations affecting daily life. While scholars are increasingly examining the theme of everyday practices, many tend to focus on the experiences of subaltern peoples. This study focuses instead on the role of an emerging, yet subjected, urban elite comprised of educated Africans. Caught between their understanding of African “tradition” and Western ideas of modernity, educated African elite attempted to influence everyday experiences and habits as a way to claim greater authority and enhance their position in the colony. Furthermore, this study examines how colonial administrators, too, used everyday habits and experiences to reinforce colonial governance in Gold Coast. In early twentieth century Gold Coast society, everyday habits and practices served as a battleground for contests for authority and influence as educated Africans and colonizers narrativized their own concepts of modernity and visions of the Gold Coast’s future in the pages of colonial reports, diaries, missionary correspondence, and Gold Coast newspapers. Using this and other primary source material, this thesis demonstrates how space, personhood, and food became important arenas through which various actors – African and European – vied to control, construct, and influence everyday habits and experiences in early twentieth century Gold Coast.

Les rues et les places de Barcelone à l'époque moderne -période assez peu étudiée dans l'histoire de la grande ville méditerranéenne- ont reflété les conséquences d'une série d'événements souvent tragiques tels que la Guerre des Segadors ou les révoltes de 1714. Cette étude a choisi de donner la préférence à l'iconographie comme support original pour évoquer la vie quotidienne. Les documents présentés ici, provenant des archives de la ville s'ajoutent aux études relatives à l'évolution démographique, à l'immigration, aux fêtes civiles et religieuses, à la vie des congrégations et des corporations, au rôle des femmes ou aux grands évènements historiques qui ont marqués l'histoire de la ville. Il est montré comment, tout au long d'une période plus chaotique que "stagnante", la ville a affirmé son identité différente. / The streets and squares of Barcelona in the early modern era - period rather little explored in the history of the Mediterranean big city – have reflected the consequences of a series of often tragic events such as the War of Segadors or the revolts of 1714. This study has chosen to give the preference to the iconography as original support to evoke the everyday life. The documents presented here, proceeding from the city archives add up to studies relative to demographic evolution, immigration, civil and religious celebrations, life of the congregations and the corporations, the role of women or the historical great events which marked the history of the city. It is shown how, throughout one period more chaotic than “stagnant”, the city asserted its different identity.

This thesis aims to investigate and illuminate lived experiences, cultural representations, and organizational conditions that influence the way therapists in Swedish psychiatry receive and treat migrant women. This overall aim is pursued through two distinct but interlinked part-studies. The aim of the first of these is to examine migrant women’s perceptions of mental (ill-) health along with their actual experiences of therapy in Swedish psychiatry. The aim of the second part is to describe and explain how therapists, in their organizational work conditions, interpret and experience their professional encounters with migrant women.   The thesis is based on qualitative interviews with twelve migrant women and eleven therapists in psychiatry. The result show that the migrant women experience health and mental health through a sense of belonging. Non-belonging, isolation and estrangement will point to the other direction i.e. not having health. The migrant women may gain a sense of belonging to society through therapy. However there are also obstructions on this path to belonging. The therapists, in psychiatry, seeing migrant women are doing emotion work comparable to physical labor. As the production is expected to increase due to marketing principles it puts a demand of acceleration on the therapists emotion work. They, thus have to find strategies to manage their emotion work. Everyday resistance thus becomes a way to gain emotional energy and to avoid emotional numbing and burnout. It is also gives openings to be content with their work with their patients and thereby to be able to offer an adequate reception of migrants into treatment in psychiatry. The thesis contributes to the gap in research by focusing on the borderlands between migrant women’s lived experiences of social suffering and the receiving therapists’ possibility to meet their migrant patients’ request. / This thesis aims to investigate and illuminate lived experience and organizational conditions that influence the way therapists in Swedish psychiatry receive and treat migrant women. This overall aim is divided into two separate but interlinked part-studies. The main body of the thesis is based on interviews with migrant women as well as therapists in psychiatry. The result show that the migrant women are searching for belonging in the host society. One way of searching for belonging is through therapy in psychiatry. However the work pace in health care and psychiatry is increasing and the therapists are struggling with giving a decent reception of migrants. In order to manage the heavy emotion work the therapists oppose the accelerating work pace by doing resistance in their everyday work. This thesis contributes to gap in research on the borderlands between lived experiences of social suffering odf migrant women as well as the lived experiences of the work conditions that make it possible to care for another person

A presente dissertação, intitulada Estruturas Contingentes e Formas Resguardadas: o tecer como prática artística inserida no cotidiano, propõe a análise do processo de tecitura manual dos objetos que compõem a pesquisa. Ao sistematizar e analisar o processo dos referidos objetos, abordarei as interferências e intercorrências em espaços privados e públicos – experienciados enquanto lugares de atividades cotidianas e do exercício de tecer. Também estarão sob foco as reverberações dessas experiências no atelier e nos modos de exposição. / This dissertation, titled Contingent Structures and Withdrawn Shapes: weaving as an everyday art practice, proposes the analysis of the process of hand weaving the objects that make up the research. By systematizing and analyzing the process of said objects, I will approach interferences and events in private and public spaces - experienced as venues for everyday activities and for the act of weaving. Echoes of these experiences in the studio and in exhibition methods will also be addressed.

A narrativa foi o modo de transmitir as experiências do espaço escolar. Este estudo teve como objetivos: identificar e analisar as experiências de alunos do 3º e 4º ciclos do ensino fundamental, bem como perceber os significados e sentidos das imagens e palavras utilizadas por eles no cotidiano escolar e suas implicações para as relações estabelecidas entre as pessoas, os espaços e tempos e os objetos. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Padre Francisco Silva, da cidade de Campinas. Foram analisados registros fotográficos e relatos (narrativas) do cotidiano escolar. Os resultados mostraram que os aspectos significativos destacados pelos alunos e alunas estão relacionados principalmente com a interação com o outro, com os colegas, os professores, os funcionários; esses relacionamentos foram considerados importantes na constituição pessoal dos estudantes, na percepção dos dilemas e das descobertas da adolescência, nas experiências no contexto escolar, que revelaram aspectos pedagógicos e educativos da sala de aula e fora dela, na estrutura pessoal da instituição, nas relações entre os sujeitos na dinâmica do cotidiano da escola. / Abstract: Photographies aren't limited to the registration of an image, they constitute themselves as revealers of thoughts, past memories, meanings and experiences lived before. The narrative was the way chosen to transmit these experiences of the school environment. This study had as aims: identify and analyze experiences from students of the third and fourth cycles of an elementary school, as well as perceive the meanings of the images and words used by those students in the school daily routine and the implications of those in the relationships established between people, space and time and objects. This research was developed an elementary government school "Padre Francisco Silva", in the city of Campinas-SP. Narratives and pictures related to the school routine have been analyzed. The results obtained show that meaningful aspects pointed by the students are related to the interaction with others, being them school colleagues, teachers and employees. These interactions were considered fundamental in the personal constitution of the students, in the perception of dilemmas and discoveries typical in teenagers and in experiences related to the school context, which reveal educational and pedagogical aspects from the classroom and external ones, particular institutional aspects, in the personal structure of the institution and in the establishment of relationships among the subjects involving the dynamics of the school routine. / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestre em Educação

En esta etnografía se examina la (re)producción del poder del Estado peruano en el tejido de la vida cotidiana en la cuenca media del Inambari, Puno. Propongo que el enfoque en los llamados «efectos del Estado», tanto reales como imaginarios, permite localizar e identificar el poder del Estado peruano en este contexto. Por otro lado, se exploran los efectos sociales de la convergencia de dos proyectos de infraestructura que son a su vez producto de la integra­ción del Perú en la economía global neoliberal, y planteo que dicha convergencia genera un entorno social plagado de expectativas, ansiedad, optimismo y miedo / This ethnography examines the (re)production of the Peruvian state’s power in the fabric of the everyday in the Inambari valley, located in Puno. I argue that focusing on both real and imaginary ‘State-effects’ provides us with a way of tracing the Peruvian state’s power in this context. Further, I examine the social effects of the convergence of two infrastructural projects, both geared towards global, neo-liberal integration, arguing that this convergence led to the creation of a social milieu fraught with feelings of expectation, anxiety, optimism and fear.

Com base na análise da etnografia sobre povos jê produzida entre as décadas de 1970 e 2010, a presença do humor é tratada aqui em dois contextos específicos: as relações interpessoais chamadas pela antropologia clássica de “relações jocosas” e a presença em rituais de figuras cômicas ou “palhaços”. O primeiro conjunto é abordado principalmente da perspectiva da “convivialidade” (Overing, 2000) e do manejo das emoções no cotidiano; o segundo leva-nos a um comentário sobre o controle do medo da alteridade. O argumento desenvolvido aqui é que o humor Jê aparece como um elemento fundamental para a vida destes povos, não apenas pela produção de “bem estar” e controle da raiva no cotidiano, mas também por que cria possibilidades experienciais para além – ou aquém – das estruturas sociais jê. / The purpose of this paper is to promote a reflection about the laugh and the humor on the experience of indigenous societies Ge, located in the Central Brazil. Based on ethnographic analysis of Ge people produced between the 1970s and 2010, in this essay the approach of the humor it evolves around two specific contexts: interpersonal relations named "joking relationships” according to classical anthropology and the presence of funny characters or ”clowns” in rituals. The approach of the former is based on the perspective of "conviviality" (Overing, 2000) together with the management of emotions in daily life; the later leads us to a mention on the control of fear of otherness. The argument supported here is that humor Ge is an fundamental element in the lives of these people, not only for the promotion of "well-being" but also related to anger management in everyday life, as well as the construction of experiential possibilities that go beyond the social structures of the Ge people.

As idéias cotidianas influenciam a aprendizagem de conceitos científicos e afetam a educação científica da população, de maneira que é imprescindível compreender sua origem e dinâmica de transmissão para o planejamento de políticas educacionais. As teorias de evolução cultural contribuem para o entendimento da origem, fixação e distorções das idéias cotidianas em um grupo social, esclarecendo a dinâmica de propagação das idéias cotidianas. Verificar e documentar a transmissão cultural de conhecimento cotidiano exige a identificação e comparação das idéias cotidianas empregadas pelas pessoas para explicar os fenômenos naturais com os quais entram em contato, de modo a permitir a descrição de padrões. Essa comparação é viabilizada pela codificação das idéias em modelos explicativos delimitados pela descrição de determinados atributos e características da explicação. Esse procedimento torna possível a quantificação e permite o teste de hipóteses de transmissão cultural. Sabendo-se obter e comparar as concepções de uma pessoa é possível investigar toda uma comunidade, rastreando a disseminação dessas idéias, possibilitando assim o estudo da transmissão do conhecimento cotidiano através das gerações. Essa dissertação propõe um protocolo de pesquisa a ser empregado no estudo de transmissão cultural de idéias cotidianas sobre os fenômenos patológicos hereditários a ser realizado em Serrinha dos Pintos e municípios vizinhos (RN), contribuindo para a descrição da diversidade de idéias cotidianas e investigação os processos de transmissão e fixação dessas idéias ao longo das gerações. / The learning of scientific concepts is largely influenced by everyday knowledge. It is therefore necessary to understand its origins and transmission dynamics for the proper planning of educational policies. The theories of cultural evolution contribute to understanding the origin, fixation and distortions of everyday ideas within a social group, explaining the spread dynamics of everyday knowledge. Checking and documenting the cultural transmission of everyday knowledge requires the identification and comparison of ideas used by people to explain natural phenomena with which they come in contact, in order to allow the description of patterns. This comparison is possible by the consolidation of the ideas in explanatory models defined by the description of certain explanation attributes and characteristics. This procedure makes it possible to quantify and allows testing of hypotheses of cultural transmission. The proper collection and comparison of a single person\'s ideas and thoughts enables us to form an idea of the community as a whole and to track the spread of these ideas. Consequently, enables us to study the transmission of everyday knowledge through the generations. This work proposes a research protocol to be used in the study of cultural transmission of ideas on the everyday phenomena of hereditary diseases to be held in Serrinha dos Pintos and neighboring counties (RN), thus contributing to the description of the diversity of everyday ideas and research processes related to the transmission and fixation of these ideas through the generations.

Bakgrund: Hjärtsvikt är en vanlig och allvarlig sjukdom som kan få stora konsekvenser för personers hälsa. För att kunna ge personcentrerad vård, lindra lidande och underlätta vardagen för patienter med hjärtsvikt behöver sjuksköterskor få kunskap om hur det är att leva med sjukdomen. Hänsyn behöver tas till hela människan och till olika typer av lidande. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av att leva med hjärtsvikt i vardagen. Metod: Litteraturstudie av vetenskapliga studier med kvalitativ design. Analysen av studierna baserades på Fribergs femstegsmodell och gjordes med en induktiv ansats. Resultat: Tre övergripande teman identifierades: Begränsningar i vardagen, Social inverkan och Förändrade känslor. Slutsats: Upplevelsen av att leva med hjärtsvikt medför lidande i olika dimensioner. Förståelse för detta är värdefullt i sjuksköterskors utformning av omvårdnad vid hjärtsvikt. Omvårdnaden bör fokusera på att hjälpa patienter hantera de upplevelser som sjukdomen ger upphov till. / Background: Chronic heart failure is a common and severe illness which can have major consequences to a person's health. To be able to give patients a person centered care, ease suffering and facilitate everyday life for patients with chronic heart failure, nurses need knowledge of what it is like to live with heart failure. Nurses need to take regard to the whole person and different aspects of suffering. Aim: To describe patients' experiences of living with chronic heart failure in everyday life. Method: A literature review of scientific papers with a qualitative design. The analysis was based on Friberg’s five step model and was carried out with an inductive approach. Results: Three general themes were identified: Limitations in everyday life, Social impact and Changed emotions. Conclusion: The experience of living with heart failure involves suffering in various dimensions. These understandings are valuable in the design of nursing interventions in heart failure. Nurses should focus on helping patients to handle the experiences caused by heart failure.

According to Samin Nosrat’s (2017) best-selling cookbook, salt, fat, acid and heat are key to cooking good food. At the same time, the process of making food has never been more connected with media. Given how intertwined food and media are today, I also add media to the list of ingredients. Food has become a popular topic in traditional media, as well as on new digital platforms. Since there is already a large body of research on food media texts, this thesis concentrates on food media related practices in the everyday life and the convergence between traditional and digital food media. For this study, a mixed-method approach was chosen, which included a questionnaire and a subsequent in-depth interview for the participants. The qualitative analysis of the data builds on a theoretical framework which draws first and foremost on Couldry’s (2004) Practice Theory which is complemented by Foth & Hearn’s (2007) Communication Ecology Theory to organize the practices. The food media practices of the study participants illustrated how embedded media have become in everyday practices and explained the convergence between traditional and digital food media. At the same time, the results brought media power dynamics to light and demonstrated that even media, that seems innocent at first, has to be consumed with a critical eye.
