It is a qualitative-quantitative research of bibliographic-documentary character, based on critical-dialectical authors. It was developed with the purpose of analyzing the theoretical-methodological characteristics and tendencies present in the abstracts of dissertations and theses in Special Education and Inclusive Education defended in the Programs of Post-Graduation in Education of the Center-West of Brazil, from 1983 to 2016. In this way we performed the research, in the database of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel, of all Post-Graduation Programs in Education of the Central-West region, as well as the data of their productions. To identify the student production of such programs, we complete and update the worksheets Silva (2013) presents in his thesis and calls it "Pro-Identi." For this update we use the information available in the database of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Level Personnel and in the Sucupira Platform. Once our sample was defined, we collected the abstracts and read them guided by a script card (SILVA, 2013). Then, with the information collected, we developed a database that allowed us to characterize the dissertations and theses under analysis through the generation of reports. We verified that the Center-West region has 16 Post-Graduate Programs in Education and only one of these does not present defense in the area. From 1983 to 2016, 246 papers were defended in Special Education and Inclusive Education in the Post-Graduation Programs of the Central-West region, of which 225 were dissertations and 21 theses. The first dissertation on Special Education developed in the Center-West region was defended at the University of Brasilia in 1983, and the first thesis was defended at the Federal University of Goiás in 2008. In our analyzes we identified that the state of Mato Grosso do Sul is what actualy presents a more expressive production in Special Education and Inclusive Education, being responsible for the defenses of 42% of dissertations and 48% of theses in Special Education and Inclusive Education in the Central-West region. The production of the other states is as follows: the Federal District is responsible for defenses of 33% of dissertations and 38% of theses; Goiás is responsible for defenses of 20% of dissertations and 14% of theses; and the state of Mato Grosso, which presents the lowest production in Special Education and Inclusive Education, is responsible for 5% of dissertations and does not present thesis defenses in the area. In our analyzes, we noticed that, from 2005, the production of the area in the region grew significantly and was influenced mainly by the public policies of school inclusion. Another fact that we consider important to emphasize is the program that has more expressive production in the area. According to our analyzes, these programs present lines of research that explain the prodution in the area, in the opposite to the programs that have lower production in the area. We highlight that 50% of dissertation and thesis production were guided by 18 supervisors, while the other 50% were guided by 83 supervisors, which shows that there is already a group with a certain tradition of developing research in the area. In the light of the analyzes, we conclude that the production in Special Education and Inclusive Education in the Center-West region has not yet been consolidated, but is expanding. / Esta pesquisa tem como objeto a produção do conhecimento sobre a educação das pessoas com deficiência e/ou necessidades educacionais especiais veiculadas na área educacional. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa de caráter bibliográfico-documental, embasada em autores críticos-dialéticos. Foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de analisar as características e tendências teórico-metodológicas presentes nos resumos das dissertações e teses em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva defendidas nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação do Centro-Oeste brasileiro, no período de 1983 a 2016. Nesse sentindo realizamos o levantamento, no banco de dados da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, de todos os Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação da região Centro-Oeste, bem como os dados de suas produções. Para identificarmos a produção discente de tais programas, completamos e atualizamos as planilhas que Silva (2013) apresenta em sua tese e denomina de “Pró-Identi”. Para esta atualização utilizamos as informações disponíveis no banco de dados da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior e na Plataforma Sucupira. Definida nossa amostra, coletamos os resumos e realizamos a leitura dos mesmos orientada por uma ficha roteiro (SILVA, 2013). Em seguida, com as informações coletadas, elaboramos um banco de dados que nos permitiu a caracterização das dissertações e teses em análise por meio da geração de relatórios. Verificamos que a região Centro-Oeste possui 16 Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação e apenas um desses não apresenta defesa na área. De 1983 a 2016 foram defendidos 246 trabalhos em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva nos Programas de Pós-Graduação da região Centro-Oeste, sendo 225 dissertações e 21 teses. A primeira dissertação em Educação Especial desenvolvida na região Centro-Oeste foi defendida 1983, na Universidade de Brasília, já a primeira tese foi defendida em 2008 na Universidade Federal de Goiás. Em nossas análises identificamos que o estado do Mato Grosso do Sul é o que apresenta uma produção mais expressiva em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva, sendo responsável pelas defesas de 42% de dissertações e 48% de teses em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva na região Centro-Oeste. A produção dos demais estados se apresenta da seguinte maneira: o Distrito-Federal é responsável pelas defesas de 33% das dissertações e 38% das teses; Goiás é responsável pelas defesas de 20% das dissertações e 14% das teses; e o estado do Mato Grosso que apresenta a produção mais baixa em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva é responsável por 5% das dissertações e não apresenta defesas de teses na área. Em nossas análises, percebemos que a partir de 2005, a produção da área na região cresceu de forma significativa e foi influenciada principalmente pelas políticas públicas de inclusão escolar. Outro dado que entendemos ser importante ressaltar se refere aos programas que possuem produção mais expressiva na área. De acordo com nossas análises, esses programas apresentam linhas de pesquisa que explicitam o aceite de trabalhos na área, situação oposta aos programas que apresentam produção mais baixa na área. Destacamos que 50% da produção das dissertações e teses foram orientadas por 18 orientadores, enquanto os outros 50% foram orientados por 83 orientadores, o que demonstra que na região já existe um grupo com certa tradição em desenvolver pesquisa na área. Diante das análises concluímos que a produção em Educação Especial e Educação Inclusiva na região Centro-Oeste ainda não se encontra consolidada, porém, está em expansão.

A hipermídia se coloca à frente de imensuráveis possibilidades de aprendizagem e conhecimento ao propiciar o encontro entre a razão e o sensível. Avaliando o desvelar da verdade através da vivência estética, presente no fundamento do jogo, este trabalho analisa a rica possibilidade de produção de conhecimento presente na hipermídia. Linguagem esta que advém da confluência de modernas tecnologias, arte, jogo e o vivenciar subjetivo de uma intensa experiência estética. / Hypermedia is placed ahead of immeasurable learning opportunities and knowledge to foster the encounter between reason and sensitive. Analyzing the unveiling of the truth through aesthetic experience, present at the foundation of the game, this paper analyzes the rich possibility of producing knowledge in hypermedia. This language that comes from the confluence of modern technology, art, game and subjective experience of an intense aesthetic experience.

Nosso objetivo é analisar a produção acadêmica acerca da Sociolingüística no Brasil, a fim de verificar quais valorações sociais, relações de poder e imagens percorrem tal produção. Para tanto, tomamos algumas expressões características e, a princípio, imprescindíveis às conceitualizações dessa área do conhecimento. O corpus da pesquisa foi constituído de maneira a focar a reflexão no interior da própria produção acadêmica, a partir de uma coletânea de textos de grande circulação, que abordam de diferentes formas o tema das variações na língua: em material didático, na literatura, na formação histórica do português brasileiro e no uso cotidiano da língua pelos falantes. Pressupomos que, apesar da alegada respeitabilidade a todas as variedades, encontrada nos textos analisados, advinda das reflexões opositoras à Gramática Tradicional, ainda estava presente a imposição de apenas uma forma legítima de variedade; além disso, a posição das novas reflexões lingüistas permanecia como autoridade oferecedora de uma língua mais adequada à realidade nacional, expropriando do falante sua própria língua. Para realizar nosso exame, recorremos às reflexões da Análise do Discurso, essencialmente a Michel Pêcheux, do qual trabalhamos a ideia de processo de produção de um discurso, envolvendo nesse sentido as condições sócio-históricas para tal produção; e a ideia de espaços estabilizados, em que os discursos trabalham pela manutenção dessa estabilidade. Concluímos que: a) possibilidade de um pacto tácito que impede um uso homogêneo dos termos para que não se discuta seu significado; b) uma postura de oferecimento de uma determinada língua aos falantes, movimento parecido ao dos gramáticos, anteriormente lugar de crítica dos sociolinguistas. Por fim, pensamos que a produção acerca da variação linguística procura garantir a estabilidade dos espaços sociais (incluindo os Institucionais) recomendando a fala ao contexto (ou à situação). / Our aim is to analyze the academic production concerning Sociolinguistics in Brazil to verify which social values, power relation and images go beyond that production. To do so, we have taken some characteristically expressions, and as an essential start pointing the concepts of this field of knowledge. The research corpus was constituted in a way to focus the reflection inside the academic production, starting with a collection of texts from great circulation, which deal with in different ways the theme about the language variation: didactic material, literature, the historical formation of Portuguese in the everyday use of the language by the speakers. We think that, in spite of the alleged respectability to all varieties found in the analyzed texts, that came from of the opposition to the Traditional Grammar, it was still under the imposition of only one legitimate way of variety; in addition to this, the position of new linguistics thoughts remained as an offered authority of a more adequate language to the national reality, taking the speakers away from their own language. To realize our exam, we resort to the thoughts of the Discourse Analysis, essentially to Michel Pêcheux, from whom we work the idea of production process of a discourse, involving in this way the pre-hystorical conditions to such production; and the idea of stable spaces, in which the discourses work for the maintenance of this stability. We concluded that: a) the possibility of an implicit pact that prevent the homogenous use of the terms not to discuss their meanings; b) an attitude of offering a determined language to the speakers, movement similar to the grammarian, before under the criticism of sociolinguistics. Finally, we think that the production concerning the linguistic variation try to guarantee the stability of two social spaces (including the Institutional) recommending the speech to the context (or to the situation).

O presente projeto propõe uma aproximação entre os conceitos de texturas sonoras, cuja perspectiva é abordar os aspectos do áudio na linguagem hipermídia, e de produção partilhada do conhecimento, proposição em que a construção do conhecimento é realizada de modo partilhado a partir de metodologias que buscam aproximar saberes diversos e que incluam diferentes matrizes de linguagem na produção de conhecimento científico, como imagem e som. A partir desta premissa pensamos a possibilidade de produzirmos conhecimento não mais sobre comunidades e não apenas pelo texto escrito, mas com interlocutores destas comunidades a partir da escuta sensível do outro representada em Texturas Sonoras pela linguagem hipermídia. Apontamos no conceito de Texturas Sonoras a relação com o conceito de Produção Partilhada de Conhecimento por meio dos conceitos de experiência estética, senso comum, jogo, cotidiano e escritas de ouvido. Resultado desse processo foi a produção partilhada da experiência estética Recados do Ser.Tão auOral , cuja estrutura e conteúdo digital foi baseada na conjunção de passagens da noveleta de Guimarães Rosa intitulada Recado do Morro, com fragmentos de registros sonoros realizados no sertão do norte de Minas Gerais, na cidade de Jequitibá, mais especificamente, registros das escutas dos rituais de Coroações de Reis Congo, que acontecem tradicionalmente na região. / This project proposes an approximation between the concepts of sound textures, whose perspective is to address the audio aspects of hypermedia language, and shared knowledge production, proposing that knowledge construction is carried out in shared mode from models that attemp bringing diverse wisdom and include different language arrays in the production of scientific knowledge, such as picture and sound. From this premise we think the ability to produce knowledge not about communities, not just the written text, but with representatives of these communities from the sensitive listening to the other represented in Sound Textures by hypermedia language. We point the concept of Sound Textures in relationship with the concept of Shared Knowledge Production through the concepts of aesthetic experience, common sense, game, quotidian and ear written. Result of this process was the shared production of an aesthetic experience named \"Recados do Ser.Tão auOral\" which the structure and digital content was based on passages of the novel by Guimarães Rosa entitled \"Recado do Morro\" with sound recordings of fragments carried in the wilderness of the north region of Minas Gerais, more percisely in the city of Jequitibá, tapping records of the rituals of Coronations of Congo Kings, which traditionally take place in the region.

Ce travail porte sur l’histoire de la statistique d’État en Égypte au cours de la période 1875-1922 et s’intéresse au rapport entre le développement d'un système cognitif d'information statistique et les transformations marquant la rationalité gouvernementale à l’ère coloniale. Il cherche par ce biais à « endogénéiser la construction de l’outil statistique », par rapport à l’analyse du fonctionnement de l’État égyptien au cours de cette période. / My dissertation deals with the emergence and development of statistics, as a field of knowledge and practice in Egypt during the colonial era (1875-1922). It attempts to explore the complex relationship between knowledge production and colonization by analyzing how the emergence of new forms of enumeration and classification contributed to the making of the colonial State in Egypt.

Science studies contends that scientific knowledge is produced through social and geographical processes. This dissertation applies this insight to the production of economic knowledge, specifically addressing how the Anti-Corn Law League, an organization that campaigned against the protectionist Corn Laws in Britain in the 1830s and 40s, made economic truth. The argument is organized in five chapters. The Introduction discusses the key theoretical ideas from science studies – controversy, consensus, and credibility – that later chapters use in interpreting the Anti-Corn Law campaign. Chapter II supplies the social and intellectual context of the Anti-Corn Law movement, showing how its origins in Manchester shaped its meaning, and how uncertainty about the benefits of free trade compelled Leaguers to present a persuasive case for it. Chapter III explores how the League’s public meetings were conducted, arguing that economic knowledge was produced through the processes of presenting and authenticating testimony, in which mass assent, expressed through various imaginaries of the nation, functioned as a rhetorical voucher of truth. Chapter IV examines a case in which assent was not attained, and the means through which the League sought to maintain credibility. It is argued that the League depicted itself as trustworthy according to assumptions society shared about what counted as knowledge and honesty, assumptions that constituted what can be called a cultural map of credibility. The Conclusion summarizes the main arguments of the thesis. It explicitly relates the study to the literature on the geographies of science, and elaborates on how geographical imaginations are inscribed in the process of knowledge production. / Arts, Faculty of / Geography, Department of / Graduate

Criminology and legal philosophy still have much to gain from the exchange of ideas. However, attention must be paid to how this exchange is being made and what is being transferred. This project attempts to examine a currently unacknowledged exchange between the disciplines; that of an historicist, logos-centric method of knowledge production. Specifically, using a refashioned dialectic method, the debate between H.L.A. Hart and Lon L. Fuller will be compared and contrasted with Robert Agnew’s representation of criminology. This will give some clarity to the different ways by which the disciplines (re)produce knowledge. Importantly, the process of (re)production detailed here is characterized by a (dis)unity between how the disciplines rhetorically justify their methodology and the actual analyses being produced. To give this process colour, it will be examined in relation to criminology’s crisis. Ultimately, the analysis presented here raises doubts about the truthfulness of legal philosophical and criminological knowledge produced in this way.

The dissertation studies feminist knowledge production through translation in the context of post-communist Eastern Europe. It focuses on one case study, the Serbian translation of the American feminist health classic Our Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS) through the lens of the politics of translation and reproduction. The translation, Naša tela, mi (NTM), was published by a group of feminist activists from the Autonomous Women’s Centre (AWC) in Belgrade, Serbia in 2001. By focusing on this one case study, my dissertation offers an in-depth analysis of the political, social, linguistic, and feminist dimensions implicated in the transfer of a Western feminist project from one geopolitical location to another, to a post-socialist, post-conflict Eastern European country in the 1990s. Against the background of the Yugoslav wars and the influence of ethno-nationalism in the 1990s, I examine the development of domestic and transnational feminist networking, including the Belgrade feminists’ work with victims of domestic and sexual violence and refugees. I assess the extent to which NTM serves as oppositional discourse to the changing politics of reproduction and pronatalist discourses around abortion and fertility in Serbia in this period. Furthermore, I analyze NTM’s contribution to local feminist knowledge on women’s reproductive health, rights, and sexuality. I emphasize the importance of the local context, including the history of abortion access and traditional gender relations. Methodologically, the dissertation is based on interview data, archival documents, and comparative textual analysis. The dissertation draws attention to feminist knowledge production across uneven geopolitical borders, translation flows across the East-West divide, and the role of English in transnational feminist networking. The dissertation brings together the politics of translation and the politics of reproduction and calls for further studies into the role of translation in transnational feminist patterns of knowledge production.

Among the American population, there is a general misunderstanding of human evolution and human life in the Paleolithic. Beyond the mechanics of biological evolution, there is confusion over what sorts of modern-day behaviors are vestiges from humans’ evolutionary past. My master’s thesis explores what kind of misconceptions about Paleo-life and human evolution circulate in popular discourse and where these misconceptions stem from. Drawing on the experiences of community members in upstate New York, I conducted a multimodal discourse analysis via surveys, interviews, and a reflexive media analysis to triangulate my findings. Through these two discourses – that of the everyday understanding of human evolution and Paleo-life versus what kinds of messages popular media portrays on these same issues – I determined that popular media constitutes a large resource of information gathering for the general public. Furthermore, the media highlighted by my research participants to exhibit themes of human evolution had clear messages on race, gender, and violence that research participants largely believe to be successful modes of “survival of the fittest” and thus cultural “survivals” from when we were evolving to our modern form. Participant and media messages regarding race, gender, and violence mirror the logics behind white American Exceptionalism; though these everyday epistemologies are argued by my participants to be biological in nature, they merely reflect today’s values and are logics used to successfully participate in American society. That is to say, the repetitive, naturalizing messages portrayed by popular media on human evolution and paleo-life both construct and reify the popular understanding that modern concepts of race, gender and violence are biological and have led to the success of our species. With these findings, I offer science educators recommendations on how to best utilize edutainment to correct these outdated narratives. / Graduate

The main purpose of this thesis is to analyse the discourses of particularly vulnerable areas in Sweden, a categorization made by the police authority, as these areas appear within student theses, written between 2010 and 2018. The aim of using this material along with theoretical discourse analysis is to gain a deeper understanding of academic as well as non-academic perspectives of these areas, in relation to the ongoing discussion of territorial stigmatization. Three main discourses where identified, structuring the analysis: the suburban discourse, the Swedish society discourse, and the critical meta discourse. In addition, I found that these are also present within studies conducted by higher scholars, and thus conclude that student theses can successfully serve as a source through which wider academic discourses can be understood.  While parts of the discourses found has been identified by previous researchers as well, I argue that  the critical meta discourse, having been dismissed as marginal, is prominent as a discourse within student theses. However, although the critical meta discourse serves to nuance the predominantly gloomy discourse of the suburb, I argue that this narrative also functions to preserve this image, and therefore should be used with some caution. Due to the magnitude of studies set out to “challenge the bad reputation” of these areas, the solidity and importance of these reputation are seen as given and thus possibly enhanced.
