The thesis concentrates on the literary and feminist articles of Pavla Moudrá, which she published in the journals Ženská revue, Ženské listy, Ženský obzor and Ženský svět. An important part of the diploma is a complete bibliography of her texts issued in these periodicals. The analysis concentrates then mainly on articles connected to literature and "the woman question". It describes the author's opinions in their relationship with the peace movement, animal welfare, the anti-alcoholic movement and spiritualism. In all of these areas, she was involved as a promoter of spiritual values, leading to the spiritual revival of mankind, and for this purpose she also subordinated her journalism. She tried to thematise particular social problems, indicative of the decline of human morality, as well as writing more general texts, more metaphorical and strongly inspired by the theosophical movement. It influenced the way she perceived literature: she valued mainly the author's intention, which should be able to offer a positive example for the reader. She considered a poet, meaning a writer and an artist in general, to be a creature standing close to God and having the ability to see more than the average person. Also, a woman was, according to Moudrá, close to God: this relationship was given by the...

[pt] As narrativas do diário de aula de uma turma de alfabetização, escrito no período de fevereiro a dezembro de 1999, e tomado como empiria de pesquisa, fundamentaram esta dissertação na medida em que possibilitaram analisar práticas culturais e interações entre as diferentes personagens que compõem o universo escolar. A arquitetura de Mikhail Mikhailovitc Bakhtin - conhecimento, ética e estética - auxilia na reflexão da tessitura do diário. Exotopia, alteridade, discursividade, polifonia, enunciação, atitude responsiva ativa são apenas alguns dos conceitos bakhtinianos trazidos para a centralidade do texto. O primeiro capítulo focaliza a produção autobiográfica - memórias, diários, histórias de vida - dentro de um contexto mais amplo na sociedade; e destaca a autoria de professores na escrita de diários de aula como instrumento de viver a prática, pensá-la criticamente e reorganizá-la. O segundo capítulo descreve caminhos e marcas que contribuíram na escolha profissional; e discute criticamente experiências culturais na aquisição da língua escrita diante de dilemas e contradições inerentes à ação pedagógica. O terceiro capítulo é um mergulho mais abrangente nas tramas do diário da turma de alfabetização. Problematizando questões de quatro grandes vertentes enunciativas - a fala das crianças, da professora, das famílias e da escola - sublinha o papel de cada personagem nas identidades e subjetividades entrelaçadas pela dinâmica relacional coletiva do cotidiano escolar. / [en] This dissertation - founded on the narratives extracted from the journal of a class in the learning process of reading and writing, and which was written from February through December 1999 - will be taken as an empiric basis for research, as it enables the analysis of cultural practices and interactions among the different characters, which constitute the school universe. Mikhail Mikhailovitc Bakhtin´s architecture - knowledge, ethics and esthetics - assists in the reflection of the journal compositional texture. Exotopia, alterity, dialogism, polyphony, enunciation, active responsive attitude, are just few of Bakhtin´s concepts that were brought to the text centrality. The first chapter´s main focus is the autobiography production - memories, journals, life-based stories - within a broader context in society. It also emphasizes the teacher´s authorship of the journal, as a tool for experiencing, critically thinking and reorganizing the practical aspects of life. The second chapter describes ways and hallmarks, which have contributed to the author´s professional choice. It also critically discusses cultural experiences in learning a written language, while facing the dilemmas and contradictions that are inherent to the pedagogic action. The third chapter is a deeper dive into the texture of the class journal. By questioning certain issues from four big enunciative streams - the speech of learning-in-process children, teachers, families and school - it underlines the role of each character in the identity world and subjectiveness, intertwined by the collective relational dynamics of the school daily routine.

Os preconceitos e julgamentos morais relativos à sexualidade humana, especialmente quando esta foge à norma social, não deixam de ter repercussões nas investigações científicas, principalmente naquelas localizadas na interface entre a Psicologia e a Educação. A presente tese tem como objetivo compreender como as questões relativas à normalidade e à patologia estiveram imbricadas na maneira pela qual as homossexualidades foram trabalhadas por essas áreas do conhecimento nas décadas de 1970 e 1980, tendo como base empírica a leitura de revistas científicas paulistanas editadas nesse período. A escolha dessas décadas deveu-se aos conceitos foucaultianos de proveniência e emergência histórica. Dito de outra forma, por se considerar esses anos como o momento de virada, em que as homossexualidades deixaram de ter para a Medicina e a Psiquiatria, por exemplo, a concepção de sexualidade desviante, patológica, para tornarem-se uma possibilidade de identidade. Essa virada, por força do movimento social gay, tem como marcos a retirada da homossexualidade do rol dos transtornos mentais pela Associação Americana de Psquiatria, em 1973; pela Associação Americana de Psicologia, em 1975; e, finalmente, pela Organização Mundial da Saúde, em 1990. No Brasil, a despatologização foi feita, em 1985, pelo Conselho Federal de Medicina. O Boletim de Psicologia, publicado pela Associação de Psicologia de São Paulo, e a Revista Brasileira de Psicanálise, publicada pela Sociedade Brasileira de Psicanálise de São Paulo, foram integrados ao corpus da pesquisa pela importância que exerceram no campo da psicologia brasileira. Dado seu prestígio e sua capacidade de impacto, o periódico Caderno de Pesquisa, publicado pela Fundação Carlos Chagas, foi tomado como contraponto no campo educacional. No recolhimento do material, foram encontrados 414 exemplares dessas revistas, totalizando 3822 artigos. Destes, 27 (0,6%) apresentam conteúdos sobre a temática investigada, sendo 18 (0,4%) da área de Psicologia e 9 (0,2%) da área de Educação; 13 (0,3%) fazem parte do Boletim de Psicologia, 5 (0,1%) da Revista Brasileira de Psicanálise, e 9 (0,2%) dos Cadernos de Pesquisa. As análises dos discursos científicos foram realizadas por meio de teorias que os compreendem como formulações sociais e historicamente localizadas. Para tanto, utilizou-se como referencial a perspectiva foucaultiana, particularmente no que se refere à relação poder-saber-sexualidade, como também a teoria Queer. Os resultados sinalizam o relativo silêncio dessas revistas sobre um assunto debatido socialmente e com referências antigas no campo da Psicologia e da Educação. Apesar do movimento de retirada da homossexualidade do rol dos distúrbios patológicos, observada nos catálogos médicos, psiquiátricos e psicológicos, e dos avanços do movimento gay a partir da década de 1970, os discursos presentes nessas revistas científicas são elaborados, em sua maioria, principalmente no Boletim de Psicologia e na Revista Brasileira de Psicanálise, no sentido de patologizar as homossexualidades, apontando para sua identificação através de casos clínicos e também de testes psicológicos e, por conseguinte, para a suposta cura e prevenção. Num sentido alternativo, foram encontrados, nos Cadernos de Pesquisa, discursos que vão no sentido liberalizante das sexualidades, mesmo não abordando de modo direto a homossexualidade. Os artigos analisados estão na contramão dos ganhos sociais, científicos e políticos do homossexual, uns permanecendo no sentido patologizador e outros não abordando diretamente o assunto. Com isso, mesmo estando em um período considerado repressor para as sexualidades dissidentes, os discursos reafirmam a dominação sobre as mentes e os corpos, o que se inscreve na crítica da hipótese repressiva de Foucault. / The prejudices and moral judgments concerning human sexuality, especially when it escapes the social norm, do not go without repercussions in the scientific investigations, especially those located in the intersection between Psychology and Education. The following thesis has as its goal understand how the issue related to normality and pathology were joined in the way which the homosexualities were worked out by this knowledge fields in the 1970s and 1980s decades, having an empirical basis the reading of scientific journals published in this period from São Paulo. These decades were picked by the Foucauldian concepts of provenance and historical emergence. Putting in another way, considering these years as the turning point, in which homosexuality no longer has for Medicine and Psychiatry, for instance, the conception of deviant, pathological, to become a possibility of identity. This turning point, by pressure of the gay social movement, has as milestones the withdrawal of homosexuality from the list of mental disorders by the American Association of Psychiatry, in 1973; by American Association of Psychology, in 1975; and finally, by the World Health Organization, in 1990. In Brazil the depathologization occurred in 1985 by the Federal Board of Medicine. The Boletim de Psicologia, published by the Psychology Association of São Paulo, and the Revista Brasileira de Psicanálise, published by the Brazilian Society of Psychoanalysis of São Paulo, were integrated into the corpus of the research for the importance they exercised in the field of Brazilian psychology. Given its prestigie and impact capacity the journal Caderno de Pesquisa, published by the Carlos Chagas Foundation, was taken as a counterpoint in the educational field. Gathering the data, was found 414 copies of these journals, resulting a total of 3822 articles. 27 (0.6%) of the amount of articles present contents on the subject under investigation, of which 18 (0.4%) are in Psychology area and 9 (0.2%) of the Education area; 13 (0.3%) are part of the Psychology Bulletin, 5 (0.1%) of the Brazilian Journal of Psychoanalysis, and 9 (0.2%) of the Research Papers. The analyzes of the scientific discourses were carried out through theories that understand them as social formulations and historically localized. For that, the Foucaultian perspective was used as reference, particularly with regard to the power-knowledgesexuality relation, as well as the Queer theory. The outcome indicates the relative silence of these journals on a socially debated subject and with previous references in the field of Psychology and Education. Despite the movement to remove homosexuality from the list of pathological disorders, observed in the medical, psychiatric and psychological catalogs and the advances of the gay movement since the 1970s, the discourses present in these scientific journals are mostly elaborated mainly in the Bulletin of Psychology and in the Brazilian Journal of Psychoanalysis, in the sense of pathologizing homosexuality, pointing to their identification through clinical cases and also of psychological tests and, therefore, for the supposed cure and prevention. In an alternative sense, in the Cadernos de Pesquisa, discourses have been found that go in the liberalizing direction of sexualities, even though they do not directly address homosexuality. The analyzed articles are against the social, scientific and political gains of the homosexual, some remaining in the sense pathologizing and others not directly addressing the subject. Thus, even in a period considered repressive for dissident sexualities, discourses reaffirm domination over minds and bodies, which is inscribed in Foucault\'s critical repressive hypothesis.

[pt] A pesquisa procura identificar a gênese e o desenvolvimento de um discurso especializado sobre educação, em finais do século XIX, no Brasil e em Portugal, numa perspectiva comparada, por meio da análise de revistas pedagógicas dos dois países. Analisa-se a afirmação do conhecimento pedagógico como fundamentação teórica, com base num corpo de conhecimentos especializados e numa identidade em termos de práticas e saberes, no contexto da consolidação das ciências sociais e humanas e da emergência do modelo da escola de massas. No que diz respeito às fontes, trabalha-se com a Revista Pedagógica, no Brasil, e a Revista de Educação e Ensino, para Portugal. A tese evidencia que essas Revistas desempenharam um papel fundamental tanto na circulação quanto na produção de saberes ligados à educação e, consequentemente, na progressiva constituição do campo disciplinar pedagógico, através da veiculação de um discurso educacional cada vez mais especializado. O trabalho de análise das revistas teve como base a utilização de um instrumento do Programa Access, indexando as referências mais citadas, em termos de autores, periódicos, organismos e organizações internacionais, países, comunidades transnacionais e áreas de conhecimento. Além desses referentes, procurou-se indexar também as referências a livros e artigos. Este procedimento de recolha e de classificação dos artigos visou contextualizar a forma como os referentes foram mobilizados, permitindo, de um lado, procurar as relações entre o campo disciplinar da educação e os outros campos e, de outro, estudar as relações entre o campo disciplinar nacional e o de outros países ou mesmo transnacional. Além disso, esboça-se uma possível rede de colaboradores (nacionais e estrangeiros) que mantiveram ligação com os periódicos. Foi possível perceber as revistas como espaços de confluências e disputas, coordenação de diferentes interesses e processos envolvidos na produção discursiva. O que se afigura de mais relevante é exactamente a observação das revistas como objetos dos quais emergiam processos de estruturação do próprio campo pedagógico. / [en] The thesis intends to identify the origin and the development of a specialized discourse about education, at the end of the XIX century, in Brazil and Portugal, in comparative perspective, through the analysis of pedagogical journals from both countries. Regarding the sources, the research deals with pedagogical journals, Revista Pedagógica, from Brazil, and Revista de Educação e Ensino, from Portugal. Our main work hypothesis considers that the pedagogical journals constitute a significant material since it may provide valuable indications about the diffusion and reception of the specialized educational discourse. The journals` analysis was made using the database Access Program in order to index the most quoted references, such as authors, journals, international organizations, countries, transnational communities and knowledge fields. This mechanism intended, on one hand, to look at the relations between the educational field and the other fields and, on the other hand, to study the connections between national fields or even transnational ones. Content and context are both central and interconnected elements in the whole analysis. The analysis of pedagogical journals, in this case, attempts to show the ways in which they contributed to the construction of an educational disciplinary field process. It was our intention to look at the history of the intellectuals` production relating it with the social demands tied up to this production. It was also our goal to understand the pedagogical journals as an arena where confluences and disputes take place and where different interests are involved in the production of discourses. In brief, the most relevant is to look at the pedagogical journals as objects through which we can analyze the building of a pedagogical field and the actors taking part in this same process.

Journalist engaged in social causes, though not recognized as such. He was founder and publicist of some journals of the city, true, rare and scattered. Salvador and Recife, at the time, were disseminators of his poetry. Enter a number and another of feirenses periodicals, the mid-nineteenth century, appeared the author of Cavatinas (1885). Through a combative voice, reflective, ironic, highlighted the injustice, the captives and political power. Our research will say that this is the third poet romantic generation. From theoretical studies of memory and identity, based on sources and periodic studies, visualizaremos the living role of the romantic poet of the Middle Street, the Street Sales Barbosa, the voice not heard in the square that echoes in the country today. So with the study we try to rescue the production of Feirense Francis de Sales Barbosa (1862-1888).

Tomando como corpus as edições da revista Nova Escola, do período de janeiro de 2005 a agosto de 2007, a presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de propiciar uma reflexão a respeito das representações concernentes à Educação Infantil que podem ser depreendidas por meio das matérias lá veiculadas. Tendo, portanto, como pano de fundo, o imaginário de Educação Infantil veiculado pela mídia e, partindo do pressuposto de que tal publicação tem como traço distintivo fundamental um desejo de impor modelos ao professor, procuro analisar os modos por meio dos quais as diversas teorias concernentes à Educação Infantil são representadas no periódico. No decorrer da análise, foi possível inferir que a revista Nova Escola representa a si mesma como portadora de prescrições por meio das quais o professor poderá atingir a excelência em sua atividade docente. Também, é possível afirmar que, visando a aumentar a adesão a esta imagem, a publicação repetidamente veicula críticas com relação às atividades docentes, qualificando-as como ultrapassadas e dando origem a um processo de segregação com relação àqueles que não conseguem se enquadrar no referencial por ela divulgado. No que se refere às teorias que, atualmente, fundamentam a reflexão a respeito da Educação Infantil, concluiu-se que a revista Nova Escola procura construir uma imagem de ser a portadora do que há de \"mais moderno e atual\", considerando, assim, a educação como sendo algo que necessita estar em permanente renovação para ser de qualidade e desconsiderando, inclusive, a existência de um passado como possibilidade de entendimento das questões postas no presente. / Having as its corpus the editions of the \"Nova Escola\" journal, from January 2005 to August 2007, the present research has as its main goal to provide a reflection about the representations related to Children Education that can be perceived by means of the matters conveyed by that journal. Considering the imaginary of Children Education conveyed by the media as the background of our study and having as a presupposition the fact that the referred publication has as its distinctive characteristic an aspiration to impose models to the teacher, I intend to analyze the ways by which the main theories concerning to Children Education are represented by the journal in that period of time. During the analyses, it was possible to infer that Nova Escola journal represents itself as the bearer of prescriptions by means of which the teacher can achieve excellence in his teaching activity. Also, we can say that, aiming at increasing the adherence to that image, the publication repeatedly conveys critical matters regarding to teaching activities, considering them outdated and giving origin to a process of segregation regarding to those who fails to fit the proposed reference frame. Regarding to the current theories that serve as the basis for the reflection about Children Education, we concluded that the \"Nova Escola\" journal aims to build an image of being the bearer of what is thought to be \"the most modern and current\" ideas, thus considering education a subject that needs to be in constant renewal to have quality, and disregarding the existence of a past as a possibility to understand the questions posed in the present.

The paper investigates how Information Systems (IS) has emerged as the product of interdisciplinary discourses. The research aim in this study is to better understand diversity in IS research, and the extent to which the diversity of discourse expanded and contracted from 1995 to 2011. Methodologically, we apply a combined citations/co-citations analysis based on the eight Association for Information Systems (AIS) basket journals and the 22 subject-field classification framework provided by the Association of Business Schools (ABS). Our findings suggest that IS is in a state of continuous interaction and competition with other disciplines. General Management was reduced from a dominant position as a reference discipline in IS at the expense of a growing variety of other discourses including Business Strategy, Marketing, and Ethics and Governance among others. Over time, IS as a field moved from the periphery to a central position during its discursive formation. This supports the notion of IS as a fluid discipline dynamically embracing a diverse range of adjacent reference disciplines, whilst keeping a degree of continuing interaction with them. Understanding where IS is currently at allows us to better understand and propose fruitful avenues for its development in both academia and practice.

Esta dissertação investiga fragmentos de quatro livros escritos a partir do momento em que o Brasil foi encontrado por colonizadores e propõe uma reflexão da narrativa quinhentista produzida sobre o país por portugueses e franceses como literatura de viagem, analisando a questão do olhar do narrador viajante pela tentativa intencional de representação do que foi \"achado\". Essa abordagem permite repensar os diferentes perfis narrativos e rediscutir a questão textual que extrapola o campo da informação sobre a terra e alcança a fronteira da representação ficcional. / This dissertation looks into excerpts of four colonial journals written after Brazil has been encountered and proposes a reflection on the narratives produced by Portuguese and French voyagers, by analyzing the topic of the narrator\'s own words while intentionally aiming to represent the country itself from the XVI century on. This investigation proposes to rethink the different profiles and sights of the narrators and texts which can not merely be understood as documents of information about the new land, however a means of reaching the border of the fictional representation in the field of literature of travel.
