Para tanto, partirei da análise da presença de jovens beneficiários de um programa social – o Programa Agente Jovem (PAJ) – nas dependências da citada instituição. Tal presença foi interpretada como sendo uma “invasão solerte”. Porém, com este termo podemos entender tanto os padrões de urbanização da cidade de Salvador, quanto a emergência das classes mais baixas nos espaços universitários. Veremos também que, de um estado de invisibilidade, o grupo de jovens constituído pelo PAJ foi progressivamente emergindo para uma “visibilidade perversa”, por conta de episódios de violência urbana que eclodiram nas áreas interna e externa do campus universitário, no decorrer do ano de 2008. Estas ocorrências estimularam um debate no âmbito da UFBA acerca das relações entre a universidade e as comunidades populares. Nestas discussões, a chamada “extensão comunitária” foi apontada como uma solução para a diminuição da violência que emanava desses locais, criando-se assim uma espécie de poder tutelar, isto é, uma forma de constituição da autoridade dos universitários frente aos moradores das áreas pobres da cidade. Porém, da perspectiva destes, eram os universitários que precisavam ser disciplinados de acordo à lógica cultural que lhes era específica. This essay discusses the relationship between a public institution of higher education - the School of Philosophy and Humanities of the UFBA, and an extract of society - the neighborhoods that make up your neighborhood. For this, leave the analysis of the presence of young beneficiaries of a social program – the Programa Agente Jovem (PAJ) - the premises of that institution. This presence was interpreted as an “cunning invasion”. However, with this term we understand both the patterns of urbanization in the city of Salvador, as the emergence of lower classes in the universities spaces. We will also see that in a state of invisibility, the youth group formed by the PAJ was gradually emerging for a “perverse visibility”, due to episodes of urban violence that erupted in the areas inside and outside the university campus, during the year 2008. These events prompted a debate within the UFBA about relations between the university and popular communities. In these discussions, the "continuing education" was cited as a solution to reducing the violence that emanated from these locations, thus creating a sort of tutelary power, that is, a form of constitution the authority of the university facing the residents of the areas urban poor. However, from the perspective of these were college students who needed to be disciplined according to the cultural logic that they were specific.

Este trabalho pretende descrever o surgimento do Movimento Ecumênico na Amazônia Paraense, identificando sua origem nas mobilizações pela libertação dos presos do Araguaia no início da década de 80. Esta identificação pressupõe uma análise do movimento em sua relação com a situação política do país ao final do governo militar, bem como sua relação com os movimentos populares de reivindicação social, mobilizados contra a violência agrária na Amazônia, particularmente na região do Araguaia. O autor demonstra que o Movimento Ecumênico ali surgido tem sua identidade e desenvolvimento definidos em função do compromisso com a realidade amazônica, ao mesmo tempo em que se reconhece como parte da tradição ecumênica e do ideal de unidade do Movimento Ecumênico histórico e mundial. Como base teórica dessa análise, o autor utiliza o conceito de ecumenismo de base, como fenômeno religioso de grande força na América Latina, em íntima conexão com a Teologia da Libertação em sua opção preferencial pelos pobres e deserdados da terra. / The purpose of this study is to describe the emergence of the ecumenical movement in the Amazon Region within the state of Para. It identifies its origin among the mobilizations for the Araguaia prisoners liberation in the early 80s. Such identification presupposes an analysis of the movement and its relation with the political situation in Brazil at the end of the military government, as well as an analysis of its relationship with social movements against rural violence in Amazonia, specifically in the Araguaia region. The author demonstrates that the identity and the development of the ecumenical movement is marked by its commitment with the reality in the Amazone region. At the same time, this ecumenical movement recognizes itself as a part of the ecumenical tradition and of the ideal of unity as represented by the historical and worldwide ecumenical movement. The author bases his theoretical analysis on the concept of base ecumenism as a religious phenomenon of great importance in Latin America, in close connection with Liberation Theology in its preferential option for the poor and the landless.

No contexto polifacético e dialógico em que se imbricam identidade e alteridade, que papel teria o futebol de várzea na mediação das diferenças locais, que maneiras de fazer sua prática interatuam e modificam o espaço e as relações? Nesse sentido, este estudo é uma fenda que se abre como possibilidade de multiplicação e interconexão inter-territórios, estabelecendo pontes entre as fronteiras. Para tanto, a partida em busca dos percursos ou trajetórias das maneiras de fazer dos times São Gonçalo Beira Rio e Milionários Futebol Clube, cobrou-nos esmiuçar, através da entrevista oral, relatos da história de vida desses dois grandes times de futebol de várzea. Conceitos sobre espaço, território, táticas e estratégias e relatos orais, entre outros, oferecem amparo teórico advindo de áreas diversas, como História Cultural, Antropologia, Sociologia, Comunicação Social, Esporte e Lazer, de maneira que servem como forma de expansão das miradas variadas, da multiplicidade das linhas que se entrecruzam e se perdem, do jogo multifacetado que faz o futebol de várzea. Falamos da cartografia deleuziana, multidimensional, maneiras de fazer que se modificam no espaço social, que se conectam e desconectam em dimensões daquela comunidade. Considerando a força antagônica da palavra “conclusão”, introduzimos aqui reflexões finais como possibilidade de aberturas sobre a mediação cultural que o futebol de várzea tem exercido na comunidade São Gonçalo Beira Rio. Considerando, ainda, que neste Século XXI a força da cultura local, do cotidiano que evidencia o jogo social nas lutas pelo poder, jogo este em que identidades e diferenças se imbricam de maneira provocativa na arte de atuar no mundo contemporâneo. / Considering Culture and Leisure Football bifurcations that engender social events in its many facets, the objective is to investigate mediation from the grassroots football of community in São Gonçalo Beira Rio in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso, having as a research methodology field through the collection of oral histories. In the context multifaceted and diagnostic context in which overlap identity and otherness, what role would the grassroots football in the mediation of local differences, ways to make your practice interact and modify the space and relationships? In this sense, this study is a slit that opens a possibility of multiplication and interconnection inter - territories, establishing bridges between borders. To this end, starting in search of paths or trajectories of ways to make teams of the São Gonçalo Beira Rio and Milionários Futebol Clube, charged us scrutinize, through oral interviews, accounts of the life history of these two great football team the grassroots. Concepts of space, territory , tactics and strategies, and oral reports , among others, offer theoretical support coming from various fields such as Cultural History, Anthropology, Sociology, Social Communication , Sport and Recreation, so they serve as a way of expanding various targeted, the multiplicity of lines that intersect and are lost, the multifaceted game that makes football of the grassroots. We talk about Deleuze cartography, many dimensions ways to make that change in the social space, which connect and disconnect in dimensions that community. To take into consideration the antagonistic force of the word "conclusion", introduced here as final thoughts possibility of openings on cultural mediation football of the grassroots has played in the community of São Gonçalo Beira Rio. Considering, also that in this twenty-first century the power of the local culture, everyday that highlights the social power struggles in the game, this game where identities and differences overlap so provocative in the art of acting in the contemporary world.

M.A. / A linear managerialist paradigm is considered normative in the planning, implementation and evaluation of development through sport initiatives. Such an approach is also assumed in an audit culture that has a clear bias for quantitative indicators that measure pre-set outputs and outcomes. The global popularity of using sport, especially football, as a development tool is being confronted with an uncompromising evidence burden, expecting rigid justification for money spent effectively. This approach is epitomised by techniques such as logical frameworks, which in turn make epistemological and ontological assumptions that are often in conflict with the local paradigms of recipients. What effect does this normative approach have on localised initiatives? A grassroots organisation (GRO) in central Mozambique instinctively employs a strategy of contestations and compromises to ensure that the people benefit from the ‘sport and dev’ industry, while maintaining their dignity. The history of Mozambique coupled with radically distinct contexts lead to donors and recipients collaborating without the ideals of equality, partnerships, transparency and participation being realised. Local beneficiaries start to play subversive games once they sense that they cannot change the donors’ offending impositions. A case study in central Mozambique, reinforcing the work of critical scholars, points to a recognition of unequal power relations as the first step out of the current impasse. An ethnographic approach reveals the complexity of inter-personal relationships, multiplicity of stakeholders and how a simple concept such as friendship can redefine power relations. The sustainability of the specific development through a football programme seems to hinge on the quality of friendship between all the actors that make up an unarticulated network, governed by unspoken rules.

ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the enduring leadership of community activists Dorothy Bolden, Ella Mae Wade Brayboy, and Pearlie Dove from 1964 until 2015. Brayboy was one of the first African-American Deputy Voter Registrars in the state of Georgia, Bolden founded the National Domestic Workers Union and Dove was the first woman to head the department of education at Clark College. This dissertation inserts Dorothy Bolden, Ella Mae Wade Brayboy, and Pearlie Dove into the classic Civil Rights Movement narrative by framing their community advocacy as equal to the efforts of Atlanta’s more well-known African-American leaders. This dissertation presents Bolden, Brayboy, and Dove as career-oriented professional women who were also politically savvy community activists. These three women acquired a power base that allowed them to found organizations, create programming, and develop projects dedicated to empowering Atlanta’s black community. These women achieved a level of influence typically associated with the wealthy or the political prominent. Because the three women were grassroots organizers, this study contends that the implications of their activism have been obscured because of gender, race, and class. This study seeks to foreground Bolden, Brayboy, and Dove’s efforts in Atlanta’s Movement narrative. In this dissertation, assessments of Bolden, Brayboy, and Dove’s professional contributions as acts of protest on behalf of the black community are used to undergird a critical intervention; first, their work refutes previous ideology centering the efficacy of Movement leadership (as a social movement) as grounded in mass mobilization. Secondly, their leadership was oppositional to the standard portraiture of Movement leadership as male, ministerial, and middle-class. Finally, the women’s professional and activist emphases on economic uplift, education, and enfranchisement illustrate evidence of how sustained acts of protest, led by local leadership, impacted the community. Because there is considerably less literature focused on the historical significance of black women acquiring political power outside of elected office, this study seeks to establish the women as politically significant local leadership.

For decades Africa has tried to rid itself of the, most often, oppressive powers that have dominated the continent. Throughout the 20th century, and in the case of South Africa even further back in history, the church has played a vocal role in engaging the powers that refused Africans the right to be part of their own heritage. The church marched with the rest of Africa to a glorious victory over these powers. In 2004 the first decade of democracy in South Africa was celebrated. However, a number of challenging issues facing the very existence of the African continent, and especially the African church, did not disappear. Instead, over a number of years, these issues have surfaced, if not to a greater extent, at least in the full view of the whole world. It seems that the same vigorous voice of the church that spoke out against, for example, colonialism and apartheid, has now become silent. The goal of this study is to determine if the church, with focus on the church in South Africa, is taking serious cognisance of these challenging issues, and to find out what it is saying about these challenges. In order to assist us in this study, we look at what five of the South African theologians, who stand in different traditions of the church in South Africa, are saying about these challenging issues. The different theologians selected for this study are Archbishops Tutu and Tlhagale, Professor Maluleke, Bishop Mofokeng and Doctor Khathide. They, respectively, stand in the Anglican, Catholic, Reformed, AIC and Pentecostal traditions. Through the voices of these theologians, this study identifies various issues, defines areas of concern, and determines what the church is saying about these challenges. These challenges are identified as challenges in establishing the church in Africa as African church, challenges relating to social, economic and political issues, and challenges facing the church in a multi-religious society. Even though this study only refers to five of the church’s theologians, the finding resulting from this study indicates that the African church is taking serious cognisance of these challenging issues and is still speaking out. / Dissertation (MA (Theology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Science of Religion and Missiology / MA / unrestricted

Notre recherche porte sur la façon dont en Europe les groupements des consommateurs cherchent à gagner en pouvoir en développant leurs stratégies d’influence au sein de l’industrie du lobbying. Nous avons aussi cherché à évaluer l’incidence d’Internet sur leur degré de compétitivité et leur capacité d’influence. Nous avons mobilisé des éléments de réflexion théorique utiles à l’analyse du lobbying, tels que le concept d’influence, divers concepts de l’économie industrielle et les groupements de consommateurs. Nous concluons que les groupements de consommateurs lobbyistes sont des stakeholders (Freeman, 1984) à part entière et nous proposons notre propre définition du lobbying, ainsi qu’un enrichissement du lobbying-mix en lien avec Internet. Nous faisons le constat de l’émergence d’une nouvelle force (Porter, 1979, 2008), celle du lobbying, qui innerve de façon larvée l’ensemble de la structure de toute industrie. Notre stratégie d’accès au réel s’est construite autour de deux études de cas et d’une enquête qualitative auprès d’une population d’associations de consommateurs de 31 pays d’Europe, permettant de faire une synthèse exhaustive de l’existant. Nos apports théoriques et méthodologiques comprennent une description et une définition de l’industrie du lobbying. Ils concernent aussi la notion de stratégie d’influence et la recherche sur les groupements de consommateurs. Les apports opérationnels concernent l’analyse et la compréhension du rôle et des stratégies des associations de consommateurs à l’échelle européenne, des interactions entre acteurs de l’industrie du lobbying et de l’impact d’Internet sur les stratégies d’influence des associations de consommateurs. / The research focuses on how in Europe consumer groups attempt to increase their power by developing their influence strategies within the lobbying industry. We also try to assess the impact of the Internet on their level of competitiveness and their ability to influence. We have made use of theoretical reflections relevant to analysing the lobbying, such as the concept of influence, various concepts of the industrial economy, and consumer groups. We conclude from our review that lobbying consumer groups are fully-fledged stakeholders (Freeman, 1984). We propose our own definition of lobbying as well as an improved view of the lobbying-mix in conjunction with Internet usages. We observe the emergence of a new force (Porter, 1979, 2008) : the one of lobbying, which innervates in a concealed way the whole structure of any industry. The lobbying industry lives on its highly added value offer of services and has a double tradable asset. Our strategy to confront reality is twofold. We have conducted two case studies as well as a qualitative survey with a population of consumer associations representing 31 European countries, thus enabling us to offer a complete overview of the existing landscape. Our theoretical and methodological contributions include a description and a definition of the lobbying industry. They are also related to the very notion of influence strategy and research on consumer groups. Operational contributions concern the analysis and understanding of the role and strategies of consumer associations at the European level, interactions between actors of the lobbying industry, and the impact of the Internet on the influence strategies of consumer associations.

The study investigated the communication practices of the Kodumela Peanut-butter development project (KPDP). The project was initiated and established by unemployed women of Puleng village. The research made use of unstructured interviews, participant observation and unobtrusive measures to gather information about the communication practices at the KPDP. It has been noted that the education level of most of these women is low, and they cannot understand, read and write English. The language of communication is Pedi. This language is used during meetings and during informal discussions within the project. The investigation has shown that oral communication dominates other in this project. The KPDP members prefer using participatory communication, as it allows all members to actively participate by means of asking and responding to questions raised. The project makes minimum use of other means of communication such as written communication because most members are illiterate. The financial donors who have assisted the KPDP to become what it is today monitor the day to day running of the project. The women who started the project together with the donors have a smooth running communication system in place for communicating with their donors. The communication system is based on mutual trust and respect for both parties. The donors respect the beneficiaries’ needs, and assist them according to their needs. The bottom-up communication flow has kept the project going. The research report recommends that the women in the project who are responsible for running the day-to-day business of the project attend a literacy program, which will assist them in running the project more efficiently and effectively if they want to compete on the national and international market. The project is doing extremely well at community level but its members want the project to grow bigger not just at community level but at national level as well. Their illiteracy has become a barrier in communicating with people outside the project who are interested in their project. / Dissertation (MA (Development Communication))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Information Science / unrestricted

The waterfront community of Sydhavn in Copenhagen, Denmark is architecturally praised, but also criticized for its lack of public green space. Residents in the area have self-organized a community gardening initiative to combat this lack of greenery. The thesis aims to explore this occurrence by providing an analysis of the attitudes and behaviors towards social and environmental aspects of sustainability and individual residents’ resistance or support towards community gardening initiatives. The research design is based on quantitative methods with an exploratory purpose, using an online survey methodology. The main findings show that there is an association among knowledge of sustainability concepts, sustainable attitudes and behaviors, and interest in community gardening participation in the study population. Moreover, individuals who indicate no interest in community gardening lack a desire to join in the future, although they may be encouraged to do so with more education and advertisement. Generally, the study population feels positively towards community gardening and feels there is a need for it in the area. Further research may investigate aspects such as politics and policies related to community gardening and replicate a similar study in a different sociodemographic context to see how the results differ. The results of this study have practical implications for academics, built environment practitioners, and community gardening organizers.

abstract: The purpose of this study was to understand how community members within a segregated school district approached racial inequities. I conducted a ¬nineteen-month-long ethnography using a critical Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach to explore how members in a community activist group called Eliminate Racism interacted and worked with school district officials. My goal was to identify and examine how community members addressed racially inequitable policies and practices in the Midwestern city of Pinecreek (pseudonym) in the context of a school district that had undergone two school desegregation lawsuits. I conducted 32 interviews with 24 individuals, including teachers and school leaders, parents, and community members. This study answers three research questions: (1) What strategies did the community activist group use to influence local education policy for addressing racism in the schools? (2) How did community participation influence local education policy? (3) What were the motivating factors for individuals’ involvement in issues of local school segregation? To answer these questions, I used concepts from Critical Race Theory and Social Capital Theory. I employ Putnam’s and Putnam and Campbell’s social capital, Warren’s civic participation, Bonilla-Silva’s color-blind racism, Yosso’s community cultural wealth and religio-civics. My analysis shows that the community group used the social capital and community cultural wealth of its members to create partnerships with district officials. Although Eliminate Racism did not meet its goals, it established itself as a legitimate organization within the community, successfully drawing together residents throughout the city to bring attention to racism in the schools. The study’s results encourage school and district leaders to constantly bring race to the forefront of their decision-making processes and to question how policy implementation affects minoritized students. This research also suggests that strategies from this community group can be adopted or avoided by other antiracist groups undertaking similar work. Finally, it provides an example of how to employ critical PAR methods into ethnography, as it notes the ways that researcher positionality and status can be leveraged by community groups to support the legitimacy of their mission and work. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Educational Policy and Evaluation 2020
