This thesis focuses on the Ottoman buildings with a T-shaped plan and their meanings with respect to the central and centrifugal tendencies in the Ottoman context in the fourteenth, fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The emergence of the multi-functional buildings of the T-type in the Ottoman realm is simultaneous with the burgeoning of a state in the early Ottoman frontier milieu, which is profoundly intermingled with the notion of gaza / whereas the demise of the use of the T-plan is coincident with the transformation of the Ottoman State into an empire. The tension between the centralization of the Ottoman State and the peripheral forces counteracting it is operative in the social as well as territorial repercussions inherent in the network of T-type patronage. In this respect, the thesis concentrates on the network engendered by the variations in the layouts of these buildings vis-&agrave / vis their geographical distribution and the identity of their patrons. Doing so, it is aimed not only to trace the claims to power expressed in diverse modes, but also to unveil the motive of the changes in the plan scheme and its halt in the sixteenth century.

Among these dozens of formats, this work focuses on the Identity Territories (ITs) adopted in 2007 by the Government of Bahia as planning units. Specifically, it aims to understand the role of Regional Sustainable Rural Development Council of the Bacia do Jacu?pe Identity Territory (CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe) in creating spaces and tools that enable citizen participation in the process of public policies to promote Territorial Development sustainable for this portion of the semi-arid of Bahia. Therefore, discusses the concepts wrapped in issues of Public Policy, Development, Social Participation and Territory. It describes the role of social organizations in the historical process of a decade (2005-2015) CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe and what level of autonomy of this body with the state. For the methodological aspect, we used the bibliographical and documentary research, as well as semi-structured interviews to enter the research object space, in order to reveal the panorama of social situations, geographical, political, economic and historical municipalities that make up the IT Bacia do Jacu?pe. The study revealed that, despite being an improvement in the context of public policy, the adoption of Identity Territories denotes a weakness in relation to deliberative action CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe, in view of the remnants of an archaic and undemocratic political system, reaffirmed in the consolidation of the State, based on the maintenance of spatial domain, in the interests of a new elite. / A busca pelo controle do territ?rio nacional impulsionou ao longo do tempo os governos brasileiros a adotarem variadas formas de divis?o, sejam elas de cunho pol?tico, geogr?fico, econ?mico, social e/ou administrativo. Dentre estas dezenas de formatos, o presente trabalho debru?a-se sobre os Territ?rios de Identidade (TIs) adotados em 2007 pelo Governo da Bahia como unidades de planejamento. Especificamente, pretende compreender o papel do Conselho Regional de Desenvolvimento Rural Sustent?vel do Territ?rio de Identidade Bacia do Jacu?pe (CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe) na cria??o de espa?os e instrumentos que viabilizem a participa??o social no processo das pol?ticas p?blicas de promo??o do Desenvolvimento Territorial Sustent?vel para esta parcela do Semi?rido baiano. Para tanto, discorre sobre as concep??es envoltas nas tem?ticas das Pol?ticas P?blicas, Desenvolvimento, Participa??o Social e Territ?rio. Descreve o papel das organiza??es sociais no processo hist?rico de uma d?cada (2005-2015) do CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe e qual o n?vel de autonomia deste organismo com o Estado. Quanto ao aspecto metodol?gico, utilizou-se das pesquisas bibliogr?fica e documental, al?m de entrevistas semiestruturadas, para adentrar o espa?o objeto da pesquisa, no intuito de desvelar o panorama das situa??es sociais, geogr?ficas, pol?ticas, econ?micas e hist?ricas dos munic?pios que comp?em o TI Bacia do Jacu?pe. O estudo revelou que, apesar de ser um avan?o no contexto das pol?ticas p?blicas, a ado??o dos Territ?rios de Identidade denota uma fragilidade no que tange ? a??o deliberativa do CODES Bacia do Jacu?pe, tendo em vista os resqu?cios de um sistema pol?tico arcaico e antidemocr?tico, reafirmado na consolida??o do Estado baiano, pautada na manuten??o do dom?nio do territ?rio, em prol dos interesses de uma nova elite.

This dissertation explores the ways in which the everyday (in)securities of people in southwestern Ukraine can illuminate our understanding of contemporary political life. Rather than using traditional units of analysis or given categories—the state, the individual, identity—the dissertation focuses on relations between people in and connected to a single village to develop a novel framework for analyzing politics and the political. The dissertation opens with an interrogation of the practical and theoretical challenges associated with current conceptualizations of security; our understanding of the political; and the role of ethnography in theorization and presents a research design meant to address those challenges. Drawing upon extensive participant-observation and other immersion-based research in a post-Soviet borderland wedged between Ukraine and Slovakia, and using an analytical tool I call “togetherness,” the thesis presents an ethnographic account of social interactions, economy, and authority in this largely Hungarian-speaking rural area. The third part of the dissertation applies the idea of an ontological shift and draws on complex systems and structuration theory (Luhmann and Giddens, respectively) to rethink the ethnographic analysis and to highlight relationships between structural and existential realms of political life. Here, the concept of security becomes central to the theorization, and the overall argument illuminates the intimate relationship between the idea of security and the political. Ultimately, this approach allows us to expand the scope of political ethnography: theorizing beyond thick description; integrating broader perspectives without losing the texture of the local; and developing an approach to research that can be replicated in other settings.
