Voltando-se para o pensamento antigo, Foucault procura mostrar que, contrariamente à nossa concepção moderna, o aceso ao conhecimento da verdade não é dado ao sujeito de pleno direito. O acesso à verdade implica a transformação - a "conversão do sujeito"- em seu ser mesmo de sujeito. Esta transformação ou "conversão do sujeito" para ter acesso à verdade implica um trabalho, um exercício ascético de si sobre si mesmo capaz de realizar a constituição de um "si" que faz a experiência da verdade e, ao mesmo tempo, é transfigurado por esta experiência. Partindo do Alcebíades de Platão onde a prática do "cuidado de si" emerge pela primeira vez como tema de reflexão filosófica e, a seguir, se voltando para o estoicismo dos dois primeiros séculos de nossa era quando a necessidade de "se cuidar de si mesmo" se toma um fim em si mesma marcada pela prática de uma constante "conversão a si", Foucault procura mostrar como o acesso ao conhecimento das coisas e as práticas ascéticas no pensamento antigo faziam parte das "práticas de subjetivação da verdade," isto é, da constituição de um si mesmo que se apresentam como um contraponto às nossas modernas "práticas objetivadoras da verdade sobre nós mesmos". Esta análise se inscreve no projeto genealógico de Foucault que permite pensar o presente e o que está sendo feito de nós mesmos aqui agora / Abstract: In the course on "the hermeneutic ofthe subjet" (1982), Foucault approaches the theme of the access to the truth starting from the practices of self. Returning to the ancient thought, Foucault essay to show that, contrarily to our modero conception, the access to the knowledge of the truth is not given to the subject of full rigth. The access to the truth implicates the transformation _the "subject's convertion"- in his same being of subject. This transformation or "subject's convertion" to have acces to the truth implicate a labour, an exercise of self on oneself capable to accomplish the constitution of a self that make the experience of the truth and, at the same time, is transfigured by this experience. Starting from the Alcibiades by Plato where pratice of the "care of self' emerges for the first time as theme of philosophical reflection and, then, turning to the stoicism of the two first centuries of our era when the need to take "care of self' becomes an aim in itself marked by the pratice of a constant "convertion to onself', Foucault essay to show how access to the knowledge of the things and the ascetic pratice in the ancient thought were part of the "pratices of subjectivation ofthe truth," that is, of the constitution of a self that emerge as counterpoint to our modero "pratices of objectivation of the truth on ourselves". This ana1ysis enrolls in the genealogical project ofFoucault that allows to think the present and what is being done of ourselves here and now / Mestrado / Mestre em Educação

Nossa hipótese de trabalho era que, a partir do momento que os alunos eram reunidos em grupo, o lugar de poder tradicionalmente exercido pelo professor em sala de aula, passava a ser exercido pelos próprios membros do grupo, mantendo, assim, presente a "imagem" do professor. Com base na perspectiva de análise discursiva desenvolvida pelo filósofo francês Michel Foucault, investigamos a concepção de trabalho em grupo presente em livros didáticos de língua portuguesa para o primeiro grau e nos Parâmetros Curriculares, bem como analisamos diversas transcrições de aulas que utilizaram o trabalho em grupo. Embora a prática de trabalhos em grupo seja vista como uma alternativa pedagógica positiva, no sentido de propiciar um melhor entrosamento, possibilidades de cooperação entre os alunos e, conseqüentemente, uma melhor qualidade no processo de aprendizagem, a análise do nosso corpus mostrou que nem sempre isso ocorre. Muitas vezes, os alunos acabaram por desempenhar as funções exerci das pelo professor, através, principalmente, de atimdes de controle e vigilância dos próprios colegas. Observamos, ainda, que manifestações de cooperação e trabalho conjunto entre os membros do grupo foram preteridas em função da divisão do trabalho e distribuição das tarefas, caracterizando, assim, o trabalho em grupo como simples trabalho "individual". Alguns alunos, também, beneficiaram-se dos trabalhos dos colegas, o que levou, por exemplo, a uma homogeneização dos textos escritos produzidos por eles / Abstract: This research aimed at investigating the functioning of a group work developed by students in junior high school portuguese classes. We have dealt with the hypothesis that while working in groups, power, traditionally exercised by the teacher in the classroom, carne to be performed by students themselves, which contributed to maintain present the "image" of the teacher. Based on Michel Foucault' s perspective of discourse .analysis, we have investigated the conception of group work found in textbooks used to teach portuguese as well as curriculum parameters. Recorded classes were also analysed. Although the practice of group work is seen as a positive pedagogical altemative, able to provi de students with better interaction pattems, cooperation possibilities and, consequently, a better quality of the leaming process, data analysis have shown that this is not always reached. Sometimes, students ended up performing the functions of the teacher by controlling and watching their own classmates. We have also noticed that manifestations of cooperation within group work were put aside by dividing the task into parts each student had to do separately, which characterized group work as an "individual" activity. Some students have even made use of their classmates' texts as a model, which served to homogenize their texts / Mestrado / Ensino-Aprendizagem de Lingua Materna / Mestre em Linguística Aplicada

Since 2002, the government of post-Soviet Tajikistan has deployed its security apparatus outside of the state’s territorial borders at least 49 times, intimidating, kidnapping and monitoring its citizens. I use the term transnational authoritarian security governance to refer to these border-spanning security practices. Although both secular and religious opponents to the government have been targeted, in this dissertation, I examine how the government of Tajikistan attempts to manage the threat from Islamic ‘extremism.’ I trace the emergence of the securitisation of Islam back to the Soviet Union, explore its consolidation in the years following independence in 1991, and how it has become operationalised in the form of transnational authoritarian security governance. I argue that the regulation of religious life in Tajikistan is based on an assertive form of secularism, which posits that religion is only safe if it is closely controlled by the state. In theorising transnational authoritarian security governance, I draw on the work of Michel Foucault. I argue that security governance is interwoven with relations of power. Governing Islamic ‘extremism’ in Tajikistan does not merely involve repressive life-taking sovereign power, it involves the moulding of obedient, secular subjects through disciplinary power and biopower. But as Foucault argues, where there is power, there is resistance. Those who are made subjects through security governance do have opportunities to resist it. Rather than being transformative and counterhegemonic, however, this resistance is momentary and anti-hegemonic. My findings are based on critical discourse analysis, a database of extraterritorial security incidents, semi-structured interviews, and extensive ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2013 and 2015 in Tajikistan and Russia.

Sport and sport participation is generally believed to positively contribute to society and individuals and have become important to welfare policy in the westernised world. Simultaneously, there has been an increased political and academic interest in turning sport policy, sport and sport participation into a relevant object of study and evaluation. The overall aim of this dissertation is to develop knowledge on contemporary sport policy and evaluation in relation to ideas about the social significance of sport and sport participation. The purpose is to critically examine how sport policy evaluations, their problematisations and solution proposals help to shape particular images of the good society, good sports and the ideal sport participant. Three research questions are posed: (1) Through what ways of thinking, speaking and knowing are societal and sport policy problems, goals and ideals defined? (2) Through what techniques, methods and strategies are solutions proposed to solve the problems and achieve desired goals and ideals? (3) How are different types of individual and collective (non-)soughtafter subjectivities anticipated and shaped? Drawing on the concept of governmentality, the study focuses on the governing of sport's and the sport participant's conduct, the political problematisations and rationalities regarding this conduct, and the strategies proposed to enhance this conduct. The governmental role of evaluation, knowledge production and scientific expertise is given specific attention. The gradual shifts in governmental rationalities and technologies, from a social form of governing to an advanced liberal form of governing, in the Swedish welfare state provide an overall framework of the study. Two kinds of empirical materials are analysed. First, final reports of sport political government Commissions of inquiries, published in the Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) from 1922-2008, are analysed. Second, reports of sport political evaluations, published by the Swedish Research Council for Sport Science (CIF) from 2011-2015, are analysed. The analysis reported on in article 1 shows that citizens' 'good' and 'healthy' behaviour and bodies are a focus of problematisation throughout the studied period. In relation to this, sport is seen as an important tool and solution. Parallel to the increased critique of sport in contemporary times, a neo-liberal governmentality is embraced which in turn affects how 'problems' and 'solutions' are thought of in individualistic and rational ways. The analysis reported on in article 2 shows that the 2008 government Commission adopted two main 'problematics'. The democratic problematic concerned a commitment to issues of democracy and equality of opportunities and specified a particular problem of sport; sport excludes rather than includes. The health problematic concerned a commitment to issues of public health and physical activity and focused on a particular problem of the population: people are physically inactive and unhealthy. The argument being proposed in article 2 is that these two problematics construct the ‘problem’ of sport and the sport (non)participant in specific ways, drawing on particular forms of knowledge and discourse, with certain implications for the judgements made and the solutions proposed by the Commission. The analysis reported on in article 3 demonstrates three strategies of evaluation and governing: strategies of representation; deliberation; and reflexivity. The argument being proposed in article 3 is that these three strategies draw on different yet overlapping forms and methods of knowledge about sport participation and thereby also produce different (non-)sport participant subject positions. The analysis reported on in article 4 offers an alternative theoretical conceptualisation, based on governmentality, of the Swedish sports model and shows how sport policy, governing and power can be seen in the light of shifting forms of governmental rationality (i.e. governing from a social point of view to an advanced liberal way of governing). In conclusion, the analyses provided in the thesis as a whole suggest that processes of societal and political improvement in contemporary political governing of sport and sport participation, involves particular images of the good society, good sports and the ideal sport participant.

Syftet med denna studie är att bidra till kunskapen om barns delaktighet sett genom förskolans samlingar.Studiens fokus är att finna vilka möjligheter barnen har till delaktighet i aktiviteten samling, därmed kom studien att handla om demokrati i förskolan. Genom att studera samlingar går det säga något om fenomenet ”barns delaktigheti förskolan”. Utifrån våra tidigare erfarenheter har vi funnit det intressantatt studera hur barns möjlighet till delaktighet uttrycks i verksamheten. Studien är kvalitativ och har genomförts med inspiration från etnografi, pågrund av begränsad tid i genomförandet kallas den minietnografisk. Data har samlats in genom videoobservationer för att fånga verbal samt icke verbal kommunikation som sker under samlingen i ett försök att finna hur samlingen möjliggör för barns delaktighet. Studiens data har analyserats utifrån en interaktionsanalys och dess teoretiska utgångspunkt grundar sig på Foucaults maktteori. Resultatet visar att maktrelationerna i förskolan har ett samband med barns möjligheter till delaktighet. Pedagogen är den främsta maktutövaren i samlingen och barns möjlighet till delaktighet påverkas av hur makten uttrycks. Möjligheterna för barns delaktighet i samlingen beror därför på förhållningssättet hos den främsta maktutövaren. Resultatet från samlingarna visar att barns delaktighet främjas genom att pedagogen lyssnar till barnens åsikter och använder ett lekfullt förhållningssätt. Barnens delaktighet främjas inte om pedagogen ställer retoriska frågor eller överröstar barnen. En slutsats som kan dras är att barns möjlighet till delaktighet i förskolan ökar om pedagogen är medveten om den maktrelation som pedagogen och barnen befinner sig i.

This study develops a utopia, named distopia, positioned as a utopia of dissidence and cultural pluralism, also described as difference. The term distopia is a neologism formulated to invoke productive elements of utopia (such as a vision for an improved sociocultural sphere), with aspects of dystopia (namely, scepticism regarding the prevalent), whilst evading the potential naiveté of utopia as well as the hopeless resignation that dystopia can encourage. The term also denotes the political expedience of dissent. Utopia is analysed in terms of its form, content, or function, and according to its underlying sociocultural dynamic, which is, in turn, determined by intersecting permutations of space and time. This study furthermore categorises utopias as either representative of the same (that is, of the institutional, political, discursive, ideological and sociocultural status quo), or of the other. The other is defined here as an agent marginalised along the vectors of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Distopia is, accordingly, a dissenting utopia of the other, formulated to address, in particular, sociocultural exclusion and human rights violations linked to the parallel projects of neocolonial exploitation and of destabilising globalisation practices driven by neoliberal ideology. The utopias of three Dutch visual artists, namely Piet Mondrian (1872-1944), Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005), and Jonas Staal (b. 1981) in collaboration with Moussa Ag Assarid (b. c.1975), are critiqued through the lens of distopia. This is done in order to assess the status of productive difference and engagement with the other in their respective utopias, created over the course of a century. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017. / Visual Arts / PhD / Unrestricted

La majorité des véhicules routiers électriques sont équipés d’un réducteur à ratio fixe, situé entre le moteur électrique et les roues du véhicule, afin d’exploiter adéquatement la puissance mécanique du moteur de traction. L’utilisation de transmissions multi-rapports offre plusieurs avantages en termes de performance, d’efficacité, de masse et de coût du groupe motopropulseur, en permettant un sous-dimensionnement du couple maximal produit par le moteur de traction. Toutefois, cela requiert l’utilisation d’une transmission peu coûteuse, robuste, et ayant une efficacité et une qualité de conduite similaire au réducteur à ratio fixe, c’est-à-dire une non-interruption de couple lors des changements de rapports. Également, la caractéristique des moteurs électriques à révolutionner à plus haute vitesse de rotation comparativement aux moteurs thermiques amène une problématique de gestion de l’énergie cinétique stockée dans le rotor du moteur lors des changements de rapports. Les transmissions et les embrayages à friction conventionnels ne possèdent pas l’ensemble des caractéristiques recherchées pour permettre leur utilisation dans les véhicules électriques. Ce projet de maîtrise, mené conjointement avec celui de Gabriel Pouliot, porte sur la conception et la validation expérimentale d’une transmission manuelle automatisée sans interruption de couple, employant un embrayage de transfert à courants de Foucault hautement contrôlable et sans usure. Un modèle analytique de véhicule de type «backward-facing» a permis de quantifier la consommation énergétique de plusieurs topologies de transmission sur des cycles routiers normalisés, afin de démontrer l’avantage d’utiliser une transmission multi-rapports sur l’efficacité globale du groupe motopropulseur. Un prototype d’embrayage de transfert à courants de Foucault a été conçu et intégré à une transmission manuelle automatisée à deux rapports pour un véhicule électrique de 80kW. Les modèles analytiques ont démontré qu’une transmission à deux rapports améliore l’efficacité du groupe motopropulseur de 7.2% pour un véhicule compact tel que la Nissan Leaf. De plus, l’utilisation de deux rapports permet de sous-dimensionner le moteur électrique, ce qui a pour effet de réduire le coût et la masse du groupe motopropulseur par 23.1% et 15.6%, respectivement. L’embrayage à courants de Foucault a été caractérisé expérimentalement et ses performances en couple maximal corroborent les modèles analytiques par moins de 6%. Le prototype de transmission a réalisé un changement de vitesse sans interruption de couple sur banc d’essai, ce qui démontre la viabilité d’utiliser un embrayage à courants de Foucault à l’intérieur d’une transmission manuelle automatisée pour les véhicules électriques.

Strong parallels exist between the formation of subjectivity through the disciplinary/bio-power technologies of the 18th/19th centuries – which Michel Foucault identified in his books Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison, and The History of Sexuality Volume 1: The Will to Knowledge – and the 20th/21st century formation of subjectivity effected through Apple. Inc and Google. Inc operating systems and products. These systems and products similarly serve to canalize and ‗discipline‘ the pursuit and exchange of information, in a way that is constitutive of a new cyber-variant of disciplinary/bio-power subjectivity.
