Corpos reinventados: a questão dos gêneros em Freud

Rosalia Andrade Cavalcanti 01 December 2009 (has links)
O presente trabalho analisa o arcabouço teórico que fundamenta o modelo fálico-edípico freudiano, a fim de refletir em que medida reproduz a divisão sexual e binária, com suas implicações hierarquizantes e assimétricas. Inicialmente, examinamos os pressupostos filosóficos, científicos e políticos que possibilitaram a invenção do modelo da diferença sexual, produzindo lugares específicos para o gênero feminino e masculino. Em seguida, avaliamos as repercussões oriundas do monismo sexual e fálico na reinvenção dos corpos sexuados. E, por fim, nos debruçamos sobre a construção do modelo fálico-edípico, buscando aproximações com o monismo e o dimorfismo sexual, bem como suas imbricações na produção das subjetividades. Para tanto, realizamos uma pesquisa e análise bibliográfica da obra de Freud, bem como da Psicanálise contemporânea a partir de autores que procuram problematizar as implicações da utilização do referencial fálico-edípico como eixo central de subjetivação e de erotização, tais como: Joel Birman, Márcia Arán, Regina Néri e Silvia Nunes. Da mesma forma, estabelecemos um diálogo profícuo com os autores Thomas Laqueur, Michel Foucault e Judith Butler no que concerne à criação das categorias de sexo e gênero. Esperamos que nosso trabalho amplie a discussão e o conhecimento sobre as questões referentes à problemática de sexo e gênero, na contemporaneidade, oferecendo subsídios aos profissionais que lidam direta ou indiretamente com o tema / The present paper analyses the theoretical framework that subsidizes the phallic-oedipal Freudian model in order to consider to what extent it reproduces sexual and binary divisions, with its hierarchical and asymmetrical implications. Initially, we have examined philosophical, scientific and political assumptions that permitted the invention of the sexual difference model, producing specific roles to feminine and masculine genders. Afterwards, we have evaluated repercussions from the sexual and phallic monism on the reinvention of sexed bodies. And, finally, we have focused on the construction of the phallic-oedipal model, searching for approximations with monism and sexual dimorphism, as well as its imbrications on subjectivities production. To do so, we have carried out a bibliographical research and analysis of Freudian work and contemporary psychoanalysis by authors who seek to question the implications of the phallicoedipal model utilization as a central axis for subjectivity and eroticization, such as Joel Birman, Márcia Arán, Regina Néri and Silvia Nunes. In the same way, we have established a productive dialogue with authors such as Thomas Laqueur, Michel Foucault and Judith Butler with regards to the creation of sex and gender categories. We expect our work to broaden discussion and knowledge on questions related to sex and gender problematic in contemporaneity, offering support to professionals who deal with those themes directly or indirectly

Transexualidade: dos transtornos às experiências singulares

Letícia Rezende de Araújo 01 October 2010 (has links)
Esta pesquisa problematiza a categoria da transexualidade, em sua dimensão psicopatológica, e questiona seu caráter normativo, que pretende alinhar sexo, gênero, prática sexual e desejo, concernente às identidades sexuais. Ao desenvolvê-la, são discutidas as implicações dos determinismos anatomosexual e de gênero, no processo de subjetivação das transexuais; também se reflete quanto à pertinência do diagnóstico psiquiátrico de Transtorno de Identidade de Gênero, para a transexualidade; analisam-se concepções psicanalíticas que sustentam o diagnóstico de psicose para a transexualidade; investiga-se a possibilidade da intervenção cirúrgica de transgenitalização subverter a ordem binária sexo/gênero e, finalmente, consideram-se as implicações da mudança de sexo, nas subjetividades das transexuais. Os dados da pesquisa foram coletados e analisados, segundo a práxis do método qualitativo, utilizando-se a entrevista semiestruturada como principal instrumento de trabalho de campo. Os participantes da pesquisa são transexuais de homem para mulher, que já haviam realizado a cirurgia de transgenitalização ou que ainda aguardavam a oportunidade de fazê-la. A coleta de dados foi realizada no Serviço de Ginecologia do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco UFPE. Seus resultados foram discutidos à luz das contribuições teóricas de Michel Foucault e Judith Butler, no campo filosófico, e de Robert Stoller, Catherine Millot, Márcia Arán, Jurandir Costa e outros autores contemporâneos, no campo psicanalítico. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que, ao desconstruir as concepções normativas inerentes ao sistema binário sexo-gênero, as pessoas transexuais ultrapassam os limites das certezas psicopatológicas e, ao mesmo tempo, confirmam suas subjetividades / This research questions the category of transsexuality in its psychopathologic dimension and the normative character concerning the sexual identities, which intend to inextricably connect sex, gender, sexual practice and desire. The implications of the sexual-anatomic and gender determinism in the process of the development of the subjectivities of the transsexuals are discussed; the pertinence of the Gender Identity Disorder (GID) psychiatric diagnosis for transsexuality is questioned; the psychoanalytic conceptions that support the psychosis diagnosis for transsexuality are analyzed; the possibility of sex change surgery subverting the sex-gender binary order is investigated; and finally, the implications of sex change surgery are considered in the subjectivities of the transsexuals. The data was collected and analyzed according to the qualitative research method and the semi-structured interview was used as the main instrument for the field research. The participants were male-to-female (MTF)transsexuals who had already undergone the surgery or were still waiting for the opportunity to do so. The data collection took place in the Gynecological Clinic in the Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) and the results were discussed in light of the theoretic contributions of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, in the philosophical area, as well as those of Robert Stoller, Catherine Millot, Márcia Arán, Jurandir Costa and other contemporary authors, in the psychoanalytic area. The research results demonstrate that in deconstructing the normative conceptions inherent in the sex-gender binary system, the transsexuals transcend the limits of the psychopathologic certainties and, at the same time, confirm their subjectivities

Controle de qualidade no ajustamento de observações geodésicas

Klein, Ivandro January 2012 (has links)
Após o ajustamento de observações pelo método dos mínimos quadrados (MMQ) ter sido realizado, é possível a detecção e a identificação de erros não aleatórios nas observações, por meio de testes estatísticos. A teoria da confiabilidade faz uso de medidas adequadas para quantificar o menor erro detectável em uma observação, e a sua influência sobre os parâmetros ajustados, quando não detectado. A teoria de confiabilidade convencional foi desenvolvida para os procedimentos de teste convencionais, como o data snooping, que pressupõem que apenas uma observação está contaminada por erros grosseiros por vez. Recentemente foram desenvolvidas medidas de confiabilidade generalizadas, relativas a testes estatísticos que pressupõem a existência, simultânea, de múltiplas observações com erros (outliers). Outras abordagens para o controle de qualidade do ajustamento, alternativas a estes testes estatísticos, também foram propostas recentemente, como por exemplo, o método QUAD (Quasi-Accurate Detection of outliers method). Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo fazer um estudo sobre o controle de qualidade do ajustamento de observações geodésicas, por meio de experimentos em uma rede GPS (Global Positioning System), utilizando tanto os métodos convencionais quanto o atual estado da arte. Desta forma, foram feitos estudos comparativos entre medidas de confiabilidade convencionais e medidas de confiabilidade generalizadas para dois outliers simultâneos, bem como estudos comparativos entre o procedimento data snooping e testes estatísticos para a identificação de múltiplos outliers. Também se investigou como a questão das variâncias e covariâncias das observações, bem como a geometria/configuração da rede GPS em estudo, podem influenciar nas medidas de confiabilidade, tanto na abordagem convencional, quanto na abordagem generalizada. Por fim, foi feito um estudo comparativo entre o método QUAD e os testes estatísticos para a identificação de erros. / After the adjustment of observations has been carried out by Least Squares Method (LSM), it is possible to detect and identify non-random errors in the observations using statistical tests. The reliability theory makes use of appropriate measures to quantify the minimal detectable bias (error) in an observation, and its influence on the adjusted parameters, if not detected. The conventional reliability theory has been developed for conventional testing procedures such as data snooping, which assumes that only one observation is contaminated by errors at a time. Recently, generalized measures of reliability has been developed, relating to statistical tests that assumes the existence, simultaneous, of multiple observations with errors (outliers). Other approaches to the quality control of the adjustment, alternatives to these statistical tests, were also proposed recently, such as the QUAD method (Quasi-Accurate Detection of outliers method). The goal of this research is to make a study about the quality control of the adjustment of geodetic observations, by means of experiments in a GPS (Global Positioning System) network, using both conventional methods and the current state of the art. In this way, comparisons were made between conventional reliability measures and generalized measures of reliability for two outliers, as well as comparisons between the data snooping procedure and statistical tests to identify multiple outliers. It was also investigated how the variances and covariances of the observations, as well as the geometry/configuration of the GPS network in study, can influence the measures of reliability, both in the conventional approach and in the generalized approach. Finally, a comparison was made between the QUAD method and the statistical tests to identify outliers (errors).

"Um olho no professor surdo e outro na caneta" : ouvintes aprendendo a lingua de sinais / An eye in the deaf teacher and the other in the pen : hearing people learning Brazilian sign language

Gesser, Audrei 13 March 2006 (has links)
Orientador: Marilda do Couto Cavalcanti / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Estudos da Linguagem / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-06T04:45:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Gesser_Audrei_D.pdf: 1303562 bytes, checksum: b5b7a4087fc58d832831ec946fb6f79b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: Esta tese tem por finalidade descrever as ações e os significados locais na interação social face a face entre um professor surdo e seus alunos ouvintes em um contexto de ensino e aprendizagem de LIBRAS. Nesse contexto sociolingüisticamente complexo focalizo as relações estabelecidas pelos participantes com a Língua Portuguesa e a LIBRAS, com as culturas e as identidades surdas e ouvintes na e através do uso de linguagem. Sendo uma pesquisa de cunho etnográfico (Erickson, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1996; Agar, 1980; Elly, Anzul, Friedman, Garner & Steinmetz, 1991; Winkin, 1998), o corpus provém de pesquisa com observação-participante, e inclui, por exemplo, registros gerados (Mason, 1997) em forma de notas de campo, conversas informais, gravações em áudio/vídeo, diários retrospectivos. A discussão teórica orienta-se pela perspectiva da Sociolingüística Interacional, (Goffman, 1981, 2002; Gumperz, 1982a/b, Jacob & Ochs, 1995; Schiffrin, 1996), e dela utilizo as noções de pistas de contextualização, articulada nos estudos de Gumperz, e alinhamento, de Goffman. A partir de uma análise prévia dos registros gerados, encontro também nos Estudos Culturais de Hall (1992, 2003a/b/c), Pós-Coloniais de Bhabha (1992, 2000, 2003) e do sociólogo e antropólogo De Certeau (1994, 1995, 1996) uma afinidade teórica para contemplar questões de língua, cultura e identidade no contexto da surdez ¿ conceitos relevantes para a discussão também ancorados nas obras de Rajagopalan (1998), Maher (1996) e César & Cavalcanti (no prelo). Além da integração e discussão da tríade língua-identidade-cultura, a partir de tais teóricos, integro também as noções de hibridismo (Bhabha, 2003), diáspora (Hall, 2003a) e táticas e/ou estratégias (De Certeau, 1994, 1996). Os resultados da análise mostram que, ao se relacionarem com a LIBRAS em contexto formal de ensino e aprendizagem, os alunos ouvintes transitam pelas modalidades oral, escrita e de sinal em conformidade com o que é mais significativo no momento interacional: ora porque diferentes identidades estão sendo projetadas, manifestadas e construídas; ora porque diferenças culturais estão em jogo. Embora o professor e algumas alunas sejam usuários da língua portuguesa e da língua de sinais, há momentos de conflito no uso dessas duas línguas, bem como na relação distinta que cada participante estabelece com as variedades em sinais trazidas para a sala de aula / Abstract: This dissertation aims at describing the local meanings and actions in face-to-face interaction between a deaf teacher and his hearing students in a teaching and learning LIBRAS context. I focus on the relations established by the participants with portuguese language and LIBRAS, with deaf and hearing identities and cultures in and through language use. Following ethnographic perspectives, (Erickson, 1986, 1987, 1992, 1996; Agar, 1980; Elly, Anzul, Friedman, Garner & Steinmetz, 1991; Winkin, 1998), the data is generated (Mason, 1997) through participant-observation, including, for instance, field notes, informal talks, audio and video recordings and retrospective diaries. The theoretical discussion is grounded on the Interactional Sociolinguistics perspective (Goffman, 1981, 2002; Gumperz, 1982a/b, Jacob & Ochs, 1995; Schiffrin, 1996), taking the notions of contextualization cues discussed in Gumperz, and footing introduced by Goffman. After a previous analysis of the data, I found in Hall¿s Cultural Studies (1992, 2003a/b/c), Bhabha¿s Post-Colonial studies (1992, 2000, 2003) and in the discussion of the sociologist and anthropologist De Certeau (1994, 1995, 1996) a theoretical affiliation to contemplate issues related to the understanding of language, identity and culture in deaf contexts ¿ concepts also discussed in the works of Rajagopalan (1998), Maher (1996) e César & Cavalcanti (to be published). Besides the integration and discussion of the triad language-identity-culture (in agreement with the researchers and specialists mentioned), I also take into account the notions of hybridity (Bhabha, 2003), diaspora (Hall, 2003a) and tactics and/or strategies (De Certeau, 1994, 1996). The results of the analysis show that the use of oral, written and signed modalities by hearing students in their relation with LIBRAS learning depends on the relevance and meaning of the interactional moment. This is due to the fact that not only different identities are being projected and constructed, but also because cultural differences are at stake. Although the teacher and some hearing students are users of sign and portuguese languages, it is both observed some conflicts regarding these language contact situation, as well as the distinct relation each participant establishes with sign varieties put together in the classroom setting / Doutorado / Multiculturalismo, Plurilinguismo e Educação Bilingue / Doutor em Linguística

Värdeprofilens resa : Visualiseringsteknik som stöd för servicedesigners att identifiera potentiellt användarvärde / Value profile journey : Visualization technique that supports servicedesigners to identify potential user value

Wånsander, Victoria January 2016 (has links)
Att identifiera vad användare värderar är nyckeln till att företag kan skapa konkurrenskraftiga fördelar. Trots detta använder designers inom området för service design flera visualiseringstekniker som stöd för att visualisera olika aspekter av en service men ingen av visualiseringsteknikerna stödjer en servicedesigner att identifiera vad användare värderar. Utifrån en explorativ metodansats triangulerar studien en enkätundersökning och intervju med en sammanställning av de viktigaste ”ingredienserna” som bör finnas i en visualiseringsteknik som stödjer servicedesigners att identifiera potentiellt användarvärde innan en service är skapad. Resultatet av studien presenteras i form av visualiseringstekniken ”Värdeprofilens resa” som syftar till att stödja designers och företag att uppnå konkurrenskraftiga fördelar genom att identifiera potentiellt användarvärde genom service design. Genom att besvara frågeställningen kan studien möta den problematik som relaterar till avsaknaden av ett visualiseringsstöd som stödjer företags behov av att samla in kunskap om vilken typ av service som kan skapa värde hos användare utan att utgå från en befintlig service. Resultatet av examensarbetet är tänkt att kunna användas av servicedesigners för att identifiera aktiviteter i använ­dares liv där företag, genom sina resurser, kan skapa service som stödjer användares behov och på så sätt skapar användarvärde. / To identify what users value, is the key to business for creating competitive advantages. Despite this, designers in the field of service design using several visualization techniques for support when visualizing different aspects of a service. But none of the visualization techniques support the servicedesigner to identify what the user values. The study is based on a exploratory methodology which triangulates, a questionnaire and interview with a summary of the most important "ingredients" that should be included in visualization technology wich supports servicedesigners to identify potential user value before a service is created. The results of the study are presented in the form of the visualization technique "Value Profile Journey" that aimes to support servicedesigners and companies to whom want to achieve competitive advantage by identifying potential user value through service design. By answering the question the study can face the problems related to the lack of visual aid that supports the company's need to gather knowledge about the type of service that can create user without having to source that from an existing service. The result of this study is meant to be used by servicedesigners to identify activities in the users life in which companies, through their resources, can create services that support users needs and thereby create more value for the users.

"Hledání ženské identity". Filosofická a literárněvědná příkladová studie způsobu podání ženské sebeidentifikace v západoevropské a postsovětské literatuře / "The search for female identity". A philosophical and literary study on the representation of female self-identification using the example of occidental and post-soviet literature

Chernova, Iana January 2021 (has links)
This work has been given the title "The Search for Female Identity" because its core question is: what constitutes female self-identification? This search is carried out by searching literary traces, since self-identification can be deconstructed by analyzing the texts. Texts by an Austrian and a Soviet-Russian writer were chosen as the basis for this deconstruction. In a comparison of their two writings, the difference between the two socio-political systems in terms of their possible influence on self-identification could also be crystallized. The theories used (mainly poststructuralist) together with the interpretations help to extract the pre-discursive nature of the texts and to decipher the image of femininity. The analysis carried out showed that in both societies this picture is full of myths, however, they were developed and implemented differently. In the course of this development the individualistic Western culture encounters the limits of its individuality, which also affects women and influences their unity in themselves. Meanwhile, the post-Soviet society striving for all-round collectivism fails to control the construction of identity, since it does not offer enough playground for self-determination and overwhelms especially women with the imposed standards. Key words: female...

Kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relation : en litteraturöversikt om hur hälso- och sjukvården identifierar våldet / Women who have been a victim to intimate partner violence : a literature review on how the health care service works to identify the violence

Bergström, Emma, Östensen, Jessica January 2021 (has links)
Bakgrund: Våld i nära relation ses som ett globalt folkhälsoproblem där kvinnor världen över faller offer för våldet. Det som kännetecknar våld i nära relation är att det finns en relation och känslomässigt band mellan offer och förövare. Våldet kan ge uttryck fysiskt, psykiskt, sexuellt, materiellt, ekonomiskt och socialt. Tidigare forskning visade att cirka var tredje kvinna som varit i en relation har utsatts för någon form av våld. Enligt Världshälso-organisationen (WHO) bör hälso- och sjukvården vara drivande i arbetet mot våld i nära relationer. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvården kan identifiera tecken på att kvinnor blivit utsatta för våld i nära relation. Metod: Litteraturöversikt användes som metod till studien. Åtta kvalitativa och en kvantitativ artikel valdes ut. Resultat: Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal var ofta de första som mötte kvinnor som utsatts för våld i nära relation. Sjukvården arbetar utifrån olika screeningmetoder där bland annat frågor ställs för att utforska kvinnans situation och hälsa. Det var viktigt att screening genomfördes för att identifiera om eventuell våldsproblematik fanns. Utifrån artiklarnas resultat framträdde tre subteman och ett huvudtema som svarade till studiens syfte. Konklusion: Studiens resultat visade att hälso- och sjukvården var medvetna om kvinnans utsatthet för våld i nära relation. Sjukvården hade ett flertal metoder som rekommenderades att arbeta efter, dock fanns det hinder som resulterade i att screening inte användes på rätt sätt och i vissa fall inte användes alls. Det finns förbättringsområden i sjukvårdens arbete med våldsutsatta kvinnor. / Background: Intimate partner violence is a global public health problem where women all around the world fall victims to violence. Intimate partner violence is the relationship and emotional bond between victim and perpetrator. Violence can manifest in several different ways, such as physical, mental, sexual, material, economic or social. Previous research showed that about every third woman who had been in a relationship were victims to some form of violence. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) health care services should be a driving force in the work against intimate partner violence.  Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate how health care professionals can identify expose of intimate partner violence among women.  Method: A literature review was conducted. Eight qualitative and one quantitative article were selected.  Results: Health care professionals are often the first to meet the woman who has been subjected to violence. The health care services used various screening methods where, questions are asked to explore the woman's situation. Based on the results of the articles, a main theme and three sub-themes were constructed.  Conclusion: The result of this study shows that the health care services are aware of the woman's exposure to violence. The health care system has several methods that they should work with, however there are many obstacles that result in both screening not being used correctly and in some not being used at all. There are areas for improvement in health care work with women exposed to violence.

Clinical Practice Guideline for Differentiating Risk Factors for Avoidable and Unavoidable Pressure Ulcers.

Suarez-Irizarry, Vivian 01 January 2018 (has links)
Pressure ulcers (PUs) present intrinsic risk factors that are not consistently identified by clinical assessments. The objective of this project was to develop a clinical practice guideline (CPG) to provide nurses with guidance in identifying and differentiating how intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors are associated with populations at risk for developing avoidable and unavoidable PUs. CPG development followed a systematic method to search the literature, organize findings, and assess the strength of the resulting evidence and its applicability to the CPG. Quality of the CPG was assessed by a panel of 8 health care professionals using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II instrument. Findings of the assessment indicated a high overall quality of the CPG; its immediate use was recommended and systematic evaluation was suggested to promote usage in a wider array of health care contexts. The quality domains with the highest scores were scope, purpose, applicability, editorial independence (all 100%), rigor of development (99.7%), and clarity of presentation (99.3%). The stakeholder involvement domain demonstrated the lowest--yet still robust--score (94.4%). The CPG can be used to emphasize appropriate and specific nursing competencies for making informed decisions when identifying and describing patients at risk for developing PUs. Further research and evaluation of the use of this CPG will be useful to demonstrate how CPGs can help to decrease the incidence of avoidable PUs. The potential for positive social change relative to the prevention of PUs is high. Decreased incidence of preventable PUs will eliminate unnecessary health care costs and improve overall health outcomes of patients at all levels of socioeconomic status.
