[de] CARIOCA-KARNEVAL IN DEN DEUTSCHEN ZEITSCHRIFTEN: INTERKULTURELLE ASPEKTE, DIE FUR DEN PORTUGIESICH ALS FREMDSPRACHE UNTERRICHT RELEVANT SIND / [pt] O CARNAVAL CARIOCA NAS REVISTAS ALEMÃS: ASPECTOS INTERCULTURAIS RELEVANTES PARA O ENSINO DE PL2EADRIANA BORGERTH VIAL CORRÊA LIMA 30 June 2020 (has links)
[pt] O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contribuir para o ensino de português a falantes de alemão, partindo da premissa de que a comunicação intercultural pode ser prejudicada por diferenças culturais, uma vez que as percepções de cada indivíduo participante de um ato comunicativo se realizam através de sua visão de mundo. As teorias da Antropologia Social e do Interculturalismo constituem o arcabouço teórico, que se utiliza ainda de conceitos ligados à análise do carnaval, do corpo como traço cultural, de figuras de linguagem e da presença do Brasil na mídia internacional. Partindo de um corpus constituído de três revistas alemãs com reportagens sobre o carnaval carioca - Der Spiegel, Stern e Bunte, este estudo (i) caracteriza a forma como o carnaval brasileiro, em especial o carnaval carioca, é divulgado na Alemanha; (ii) identifica se nessa caracterização são construídos ou reforçados estereótipos de Brasil, cultura e carnaval brasileiros/cariocas; (iii) identifica quais são os estereótipos; (iv) identifica que recursos a imprensa alemã utiliza para caracterizar e reforçar estereótipos; e (v) propõe um caminho didático consequente e eficaz de desconstrução desses estereótipos. Constatando-se que aspectos culturais podem efetivamente levar a mal-entendidos e à formação de estereótipos no contexto do ensino do português a falantes de alemão, propõe-se uma solução didática como exemplo para minimizar o problema. / [de] Die vorliegende Arbeit hat das Ziel, einen Beitrag für den Portugiesischunterricht für Deutschsprachige zu leisten, denn die interkulturelle Kommunikation kann durch kulturelle Unterschiede behindert werden, da die Wahrnehmung jedes Teilnehmers eines Sprechakts durch seine Weltanschauung verwirklicht wird. Die Sozialanthropologie und die Interkulturalität bilden für diese Arbeit den theoretischen Rahmen, der auch Konzepte der Karnevalanalyse, des Korpers als kulturelles Merkmal, der rethorischen Stilmittel und der Prasenz Brasiliens in den internationalen Medien verwendet. Diese Untersuchung geht von einem Korpus aus, das aus drei deutschen Zeitschriften mit Berichten uber den Karneval von Rio de Janeiro besteht - Der Spiegel, Stern und Bunte – und (i) charakterisiert, wie der brasilianische Karneval, insbesondere der Karneval von Rio de Janeiro, in Deutschland veroffentlicht wird; (ii) identifiziert, ob die Stereotypen Brasiliens bzw. der Kultur und des Karnevals in Brasilien und in Rio de Janeiro in diesem journalistischen Kontext aufgebaut oder verstarkt werden; (iii) identifiziert Stereotypen; (iv) ermittelt, mit welchen Mitteln die deutsche Presse Stereotypen charakterisiert und verstarkt; (v) schlägt eine konsequente und effektive didaktische Richtung vor, um diese Stereotypen abzubauen. Es ist festzustellen, dass kulturelle Aspekte zu Missverstandnissen und zur Bildung von Stereotypen im Zusammenhang mit dem Portugiesischunterricht fur Deutschsprachige fuhren konnen. Aus diesem Grund wird eine didaktische Aufgabe als Beispiel vorgeschlagen, um dieses Problem zu vermindern.

Être auteur amérindien : l’écriture comme outil d’affirmation culturelle et de guérison chez Tomson HighwayMainguy, Maude 19 April 2018 (has links)
Les auteurs amérindiens se servent de l'écriture depuis la deuxième moitié du vingtième siècle pour affirmer leur identité et contribuer à la survivance de leur culture. Pour certains, toutefois, la motivation d'écrire va plus loin : pour Tomson Highway, il s'agit d'un chemin nécessaire vers la guérison de ses blessures. Il a connu l'enfer des pensionnats catholiques pour jeunes Autochtones et les conséquences que l'assimilation découlant de la Loi sur les Indiens a provoquées. Par l'écriture, Highway se libère : il s'agit d'un exutoire et d'un passage obligé. En se basant sur les notions de paratopie identitaire et spatiale issues de la théorie de Dominique Maingueneau, ce mémoire analyse le regard que porte l'auteur cri sur sa nation à travers ses personnages. Deux oeuvres sont à l'étude, soit le roman Champion et Ooneemeetoo (1998) et la pièce de théâtre Dry Lips devrait déménager à Kapuskasing (1989). Du roman, il ressort qu'à l'image de l'auteur, les personnages souffrent d'une double paratopie qui nuit à leur affirmation culturelle et identitaire. N'arrivant pas à trouver leur place chez les leurs ni à Winnipeg, c'est par l'entremise de l'influence des Blancs qu'ils arrivent à un semblant d'équilibre. Dans la pièce de théâtre, c'est un portrait peu flatteur que Highway fait de la vie postcoloniale des Amérindiens. L'influence des Blancs contribue à faire disparaître la culture et les traditions autochtones. L'espoir que la situation s'améliore sur les réserves repose entre les mains de ceux qui sont prêts à faire bouger les choses, mais ce n'est pas le cas de la majorité.

Estimating the distribution of demand for Antarctic krill (Euphauisa superba) from land-based predators at South GeorgiaSwarbrick, Matthew Lewis January 2007 (has links)
South Georgia is renowned for the abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and a range of krill predators. Variability in krill availability at a range of scales, and the consequences of this for predator-prey interactions, mean that quantifying the spatially explicit demand for krill by those predators is essential to understanding the mechanisms underlying ecosystem changes in the region. In this thesis demand within a distinct study box to the northwest of the island has been assessed. The thesis has three sections; (1) the number of predators; (2) the distribution of predators; and (3) the demand for krill by those predators. (1) Predator densities with confidence intervals were determined from appropriately designed shipboard transect survey; counts of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella), macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus), gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua), and Antarctic prions (Pachyptila desolata) were adjusted for sea state, distance from observer and dive behaviour. Providing the first at-sea predator density estimates for the region. (2) A comparison of the distribution of female Antarctic fur seals engaged in pup-rearing (using satellite telemetry) and the whole population that were not restricted to a single part of the population (from shipboard transect survey) was undertaken. Using two general additive models based on the relationship between seal distribution (one derived from transect and the other from telemetry) and the physical environment indicated that the spatial distribution of lactating females is representative of the general population. (3) Using the derived predator density, the local krill demand estimate was 2581 tonnes krill per day, a consumption rate of 0.45% per day of the concurrently estimated krill biomass (using shipboard acoustics). Antarctic fur seals accounted for 75% of this demand. This level of demand was less than the increase in biomass resulting from krill growth. However, based on the length-specific demand, determined from concurrent predator diet samples demand exceeded growth for krill >48mm.

Trend-sandwich : Exploring new ways of joining inspiration, such as different kinds of trends, through processes of morphing and melding different trendy garments and materials, for new methods, garment types, materials and expressions.Bendzovski, Daniel January 2015 (has links)
The aim of this work is to explore the joining of inspiration, such as different garments and materials, in relation to commonly used methods in the fashion industry when it comes to joining of different trends and references such as clashing and collaging. The work proposes a new method and framework for join- ing inspiration which generates different results depending on what kind of inspiration that is put in to it. A garment can roughly be broken down to a silhouette and shape, materials and details. The material put in to the method and framework is based on information from trend seminars for SS16, because that is how many of today’s trend-oriented fashion brands get there inspiration. Trendy garment silhouettes are mixed through processes of computational morphing in Adobe Flash by a generation of spin in the mixing process were shape hints are used in a new manner. The new generated silhouettes are further developed and materialized through procedures of interpretation and figuration. Different trendy materials are melded in a direct and concrete way through mixed media techniques such as laminating, fusing and vacuum-techniques. The final steps of the method is a garment shape and material synthesis with starting point in the generated shape with the final material. The projects intention is to let the physical experimentation, interpretation and figuration play a central role in the research process for new types of methods, garments, materials and expressive pos- sibilities.

Claiming the land : Indians, goldseekers, and the rush to British ColumbiaMarshall, Daniel Patrick 05 1900 (has links)
During the Fraser River gold rush of 1858, over 30,000 goldseekers invaded the Aboriginal
lands of southern British Columbia, setting off Native-White conflicts similar to the Indian Wars of
the American Pacific Northwest. Prior to the establishment of the Colony of British Columbia, 19
November 1858, British sovereignty was marginal and the Fraser gold fields clearly an extension of
the American West. The Native world was not defined by the 49th parallel, nor the kind of violence
that crossed the international border with the expansion of the California mining frontier. These
goldseekers, in prosecuting military-like campaigns, engaged in significant battles with First Nations,
broke the back of full-scale Native resistance in both southern British Columbia and eastern
Washington State, and brokered Treaties of Peace on foreign soil. The very roots of Native
sovereignty, rights and unrest, current in the province today, may be traced to the 1858 gold rush.
This dissertation maintains that British Columbia's 'founding' event has not been explored
due to the transboundary nature of the subject. It has little or no presence in Canadian historiography
as presently written. The year 1858 represents a period of exceptional flux and population mobility
within an ill-defined space. I argue that the key to the Fraser Rush is to be found south of the border:
in geographic space (the Pacific Slope) and in place (California mining frontier). It examines the three
principal cultures that inhabited the middle ground of the gold fields, those of the Fur Trade
(Hudson's Bay Company and Native), Californian, and British world views. The year 1858
represents a power struggle on the frontier: a struggle of local Indian power, the entrance of an
overwhelming outsiders' power, transplanted locally and directed largely from California, and
regional and long-distance British power. It is a clash of two "frontier" creations: that of "California
culture" and "fur trade culture" that not only produced violence but the formal inauguration of
colonialism, Indian reserves, and ultimately the expansion of Canada to the Pacific Slope.

Etudes des mécanismes sous-jacents aux phénomènes collectifs chez un primate non humain, cebus capucinus: de l'expérimentation à la modélisation / Decision-making processes involved in collective phenomena in semi-free ranging non human primates, cebus capucinus: from experimental approach to mathematical modellingMeunier, Hélène 26 March 2007 (has links)
Ce doctorat trouve son origine dans la compréhension des prises de décision et des comportements collectifs des animaux. Comment ces derniers parviennent-ils à effectuer des choix collectivement ?Comment les membres d’un groupe procèdent-ils pour synchroniser leurs comportements spatialement et temporellement ?Mon principal objectif a été de dégager, lors des déplacements collectifs et du fur rubbing chez le capucin moine, les évènements décisionnels dépendants de processus anonymes de ceux dépendants de processus liés à l’identité des individus et à leur réseau de relations sociales au sein du groupe. Dans les prises de décision collective relatives aux déplacements, les membres du groupe sont influencés dans leurs choix par leur identité sociale mais aussi par des mécanismes anonymes, de type mimétique. Le fur rubbing est également un comportement collectif dont les mécanismes sous-jacents incluent une dépendance interindividuelle de type mimétique. Des mécanismes similaires mettant en jeu des interactions entre individus basées sur des règles comportementales simples se retrouvent dans chacun des phénomènes collectifs étudiés. Ces résultats sont les premiers à démontrer l’émergence de prises de décision collective à partir de telles interactions anonymes dans un groupe de primates non humains. Ils permettent de faire le lien entre choix individuels et comportement collectif et de mieux concevoir comment un groupe de primates peut se coordonner, maintenir sa cohésion spatiale et synchroniser ses activités./How do animals reach collective consensus? How do group members spatially and temporally synchronise their behaviour? My main purpose was to demonstrate the respective roles of anonymous processes (contagion, mimetism) and individual-dependent processes (hierarchical rank, age, sex, kin, social relationships) in collective decision-making. During decision-making relating to collective movements, group members’ decisions depend on their social identity (individual-dependent mechanism) as well as anonymous processes. Fur rubbing is also a collective behaviour involving interindividual dependence with mimetic underlying mechanisms. We found similar mechanisms, involving interindividual interactions according to simple behavioural rules, in both collective phenomenon studied. These results are the first to demonstrate the emergence of collective decision-making based on anonymous interactions in a group of non human primates. They help to understand the link between individual choices and collective behaviour and to appreciate how a social group of primates maintain its spatial cohesion and synchronize its activities. / Doctorat en sciences, Spécialisation biologie animale / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Cannibal Wihtiko: Finding Native-Newcomer Common GroundChabot, Cecil January 2016 (has links)
Two prominent historians, David Cannadine and Brad Gregory, have recently contended that history is distorted by overemphasis on human difference and division across time and space. This problem has been acute in studies of Native-Newcomer relations, where exaggeration of Native pre-contact stability and post-contact change further emphasized Native-Newcomer difference. Although questioned in economic, social and political spheres, emphasis on cultural difference persists.
To investigate the problem, this study examined the Algonquian wihtiko (windigo), an apparent exemplar of Native-Newcomer difference and division. With a focus on the James Bay Cree, this study first probed the wihtiko phenomenon’s Native origins and meanings. It then examined post-1635 Newcomer encounters with this phenomenon: from the bush to public opinion and law, especially between 1815 and 1914, and in post-1820 academia. Diverse archives, ethnographies, oral traditions, and academic texts were consulted.
The cannibal wihtiko evolved from Algonquian attempts to understand and control rare but extreme mental and moral failures in famine contexts. It attained mythical proportions, but fears of wihtiko possession, transformation and violence remained real enough to provoke pre-emptive killings even of family members. Wihtiko beliefs also influenced Algonquian manifestations and interpretations of generic mental and moral failures. Consciously or not, others used it to scapegoat, manipulate, or kill.
Newcomers threatened by moral and mental failures attributed to the wihtiko often took Algonquian beliefs and practices seriously, even espousing them. Yet Algonquian wihtiko behaviours, beliefs and practices sometimes presented Newcomers with another layer of questions about mental and moral incompetence. Collisions arose when they discounted, misconstrued or asserted control over Algonquian beliefs and practices. For post-colonial critics, this has raised a third layer of questions about intellectual and moral incompetence. Yet some critics have also misconstrued earlier attempts to understand and control the wihtiko, or attributed an apparent lack of scholarly consensus to Western cultural incompetence or inability to grasp the wihtiko.
In contrast, this study of wihtiko phenomena reveals deeper commonalities and continuities. They are obscured by the complex evolution of Natives’ and Newcomers’ struggles to understand and control the wihtiko. Yet hidden in these very struggles and the wihtiko itself is a persistent shared conviction that reducing others to objects of power signals mental and moral failure. The wihtiko reveals cultural differences, changes and divisions, but exemplifies more fundamental commonalities and continuities.
