D’après Georges Simmel, le conflit est inhérent à la société. Désignant des situations antagonistes entre deux ou plusieurs personnes, il contribuerait, selon l’auteur, à l’unité de la société. Différents conflits interpersonnels existent, dont celui du duel et de la discussion. Lorsque les opposants entrent en duel, ils recherchent en premier lieu la réussite personnelle. Pour y parvenir, la communication entre les sujets est souvent synonyme d’expression, « chacun cherchant d’abord, non pas l’interlocution mais la possibilité de parler ». En fin de compte, c’est moins l’individu auquel on est confronté que l’on a envie d’entendre que la possibilité de pouvoir s’exprimer ou d’agir soi-même. Dans une discussion, telle qu’entendue par Jürgen Habermas, il s’agit d’abord de tendre vers une victoire commune. Dans leurs interactions, les interlocuteurs partagent leurs idées, leurs arguments en vue d’aboutir à ce qu’ils estiment être le meilleur pour eux grâce à la recherche de vérité, de justesse et de sincérité. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes davantage tournés vers une société d’expression plutôt qu’une société de discussion , laquelle reste, aux yeux de nombreux scientifiques, un modèle trop idéal pour trouver une application concrète dans la vie de tous les jours. S’inscrivant pleinement dans la culture de notre société, le sport est considéré comme une pratique sociale ordinaire. Or, en portant notre attention sur les rapports que les adversaires entretiennent entre eux à l’occasion de leur affrontement sportif, il nous a été possible de faire un double constat : il est d’abord des conflits entre opposants qui sont le reflet de la société actuelle (c’est le cas du football). Le monde sportif offre par ailleurs l’occasion de développer une autre forme de communication entre adversaires, celle d’une « société de discussion » : c’est le cas de l’affrontement tennistique. / According to Georges Simmel, conflict is inherent in society. In establishing conflict situations between two or more people, it helps to achieve, according to Simmel, unity in society. There are different types of interpersonal conflict, including the duel and the discussion. When two opponents take part in a duel, they are seeking, first and foremost, personal success. To achieve this, the communication between the two individuals is often synonymous with expression, “each seeking primarily, not to communicate but to be able to speak.” Ultimately, it is not so much that they want to hear the other person speak as having the opportunity of speaking or acting themselves. In a discussion, as understood by Jürgen Habermas, the primary aim is to work towards a common victory. Through their interaction, the speakers share their ideas and arguments in order to achieve what they believe is best for them through a quest for truth, fairness and sincerity. Today we are more oriented towards an expression society rather than a discussion society, the latter model being, in the view of many scientists, too much of an ideal to have any practical application in everyday life. Sport is part and parcel of the culture of our society, and is deemed to be an ordinary social practice. However, if we focus on the relationships between opponents during their sporting clash, we can make two observations: not just that interpersonal conflicts are a reflection of today’s society, as in the case of football; but also that the world of sport provides an opportunity to develop another form of communication between adversaries: that of a “discussion society”, which finds its fullest expression in competitive tennis.

Estudos nacionais e internacionais têm revelado que o bullying expõe crianças e adolescentes à condição de vulnerabilidade. Sabe-se também que não é a escola a única responsável pela produção de violência neste contexto, pois trata-se de um fenômeno complexo, dinâmico, multifacetado e multicausal, com raízes também em questões de ordem macrossociais e econômicas, exigindo, portanto, enfrentamentos no contexto da intersetorialidade. Este estudo cuja abordagem metodológica foi qualitativa, teve como objetivos apreender as representações sociais dos professores sobre o bullying entre os alunos e conhecer as estratégias adotadas frente ao fenômeno no contexto da prática docente. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em 4 escolas da rede municipal de educação, localizadas na Região Norte da cidade de Ribeirão Preto, Estado de São Paulo, as quais foram selecionadas por fazerem parte do contexto de atuação profissional da pesquisadora. Por conseguinte, o grupo participante foi representado por 10 professores de quintos anos do primeiro segmento do Ensino Fundamental. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, optou-se pela entrevista semiestruturada e a análise dos dados foi realizada à luz da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Reconhece-se que os professores são sujeitos de transformação com possibilidades de (re) construção de práticas que sejam referência no enfrentamento do fenômeno na escola. Os resultados demonstraram que os professores sabem conceituar teoricamente o fenômeno bullying, reconhecem que o problema afeta a dinâmica escolar em vários aspectos, causando exclusão e impactos negativos na aprendizagem, na saúde e no desenvolvimento do aluno, assim como nas relações sociais e no ambiente escolar. O estudo revelou dois grandes desafios aos docentes: 1º) A dificuldade no reconhecimento do fenômeno frente a outros tipos de violência manifestados no contexto, tais como atos isolados e não repetitivos de violência escolar. Embora, teoricamente, os docentes soubessem conceituar o fenômeno, talvez pelo fato da mídia abordá-lo em quantidade excessiva, contudo, na prática, o reconhecimento do problema é algo complexo. 2º) O outro desafio revelado pelo estudo é a ausência de trabalho articulado e intersetorial frente ao fenômeno, salvo alguns projetos desconectados e não resolutivos, reforçados na transmissão de valores morais aos alunos. Observou-se que os professores entrevistados agiram pontual e emergencialmente, porém, não de modo a enfrentar efetivamente o fenômeno. Não evidenciamos nenhuma ação articulada entre direção da escola e professores, entre escola e Secretaria Municipal da Educação e tampouco entre escola e serviços de saúde, ou demais áreas sociais adjacentes. Os professores não se furtaram em buscar formas de combate aos vários tipos de violência escolar, ainda que pontuais e desarticuladas. Entretanto, tais ações não se mostraram efetivas, acabando por reforçar práticas de violência cada vez mais recorrentes no âmbito escolar. Diante disto, constatou-se que a escola continua reproduzindo a exclusão social, a violência, e, sobretudo, o bullying de grande parcela de alunos que por ali passam, fazendo-se premente a construção e implementação de programas de enfrentamentos na perspectiva da intersetorialidade consolidados, quiçá por políticas públicas de ordem municipal, estadual ou federal / National and international studies have revealed that bullying exposes schoolchildren to vulnerability. It is also known that school is not the only one responsible for the production of violence in this context, since it is a complex, dynamic, multifaceted and multi-causal phenomenon, also rooted in macro-social and economic issues. It demands, therefore, confrontations in the context of intersectoriality. The study, which methodological approach was qualitative, had as objectives to apprehend the social representations of teachers about bullying among students and to know strategies against the phenomenon in the context of teaching practice. In this sense, we entered 4 schools of the municipal education network located in the North Region of the city of Ribeirão Preto, State of São Paulo. Therefore, the sample of the study was represented by 10 fifth-grade teachers from the first segment of Elementary School. As a data collection instrument, the semi-structured interview and data analysis was done in light of the Theory of Social Representations. It is recognized that teachers are subjects of transformation with possibilities of (re) construction of practices that are a reference in facing the phenomenon in school. The results showed that teachers know how to theoretically conceptualize the bullying phenomenon, recognize that, in fact, the problem affects school dynamics in several aspects, causing exclusion and negative impacts on students learning and development, social relations and school environment. The study revealed two major challenges to teachers: 1) The difficulty in recognizing the phenomenon in front of other types of violence that are present in the context, such as isolated and nonrepetitive acts of school violence.Although, theoretically, the teachers could conceptualize the phenomenon, perhaps because the media approached it in excessive quantity, however, in practice, recognition of the problem is not something complex.2) The other challenge revealed by the study is the absence of an articulated and intersectorial work in front of the phenomenon, except for some disconnected and incipient projects, such as regarding the transmission of moral values to the students. In fact, what has been done by the majority of teachers interviewed acted punctually and emergentially, but not in order to effectively face the phenomenon. There was no articulated action between school management and teachers, between school and municipal secretariat of education and neither between school and health services, or other adjacent social areas. The fact is that teachers did not shy away from seeking ways to combat the various types of violence manifested in school, even if they were punctual and disconnected actions. However, these actions were not effective, instead, they reinforced practices of violence that are increasingly recurrent in the school context. Therefore, the absence of a structured and articulated program does not lead to the combat or reduction of the phenomenon. It was found that the school continues to reproduce, the social exclusion, violence, and, above all, bullying of a large part of the students who pass by, making the construction and implementation of programs of confrontations in the perspective of intersectoriality consolidated, perhaps by public policies of municipal, state or federal order

Vårt syfte med studien var att undersöka om det fanns en skillnad mellan mänoch kvinnor i deras beslutsprocess (absoluta- eller relativa process) under envittneskonfrontation, samt att kontrollera om det fanns en skillnad mellan mänoch kvinnor till ett korrekt utpekande. Våra hypoteser var att 1) kvinnor i störreutsträckning skulle använda sig av svar som beskriver en absolut beslutsprocess,2) kvinnor skulle göra fler korrekta utpekanden vid vittneskonfrontationer och 3)det fanns ett samband mellan absoluta beslutsprocessen och ett korrektutpekande. Vi genomförde en enkätundersökning som publicerades på webbensom sammanlagt besvarades av 451 personer. I enlighet med vår hypotes visaderesultaten att kvinnor använder sig av absoluta beslutsprocesser i högreutsträckning och gjorde fler korrekta utpekande än män. Resultaten diskuteradesutifrån teori och tidigare forskning. / Our purpose of the study was to investigate whether there are differences betweenmen and women in their decision-making process (absolute identification orrelative judgment) during a witness confrontation, as well as to check whetherthere are differences between men and women in identification accuracy. Ourhypotheses were: 1) women would be more likely to use answers that describe anabsolute identification, 2) women would make more correct identification inwitness confrontations, 3) there would be an association between the absoluteidentification and the correct identification. We conducted an online survey,which was answered by 451 people. In accordance with our hypothesis, theresults showed that women made use of absolute identification to a greater extentand made more correct identification than men. The results discussed based ontheory and previous research.

Vietnam is a tragic land, which has witnessed three successive wars since it won independence in 1945. The purpose of this dissertation is to seek answers to the question of why so many tragedies struck the Vietnamese people, and in particular to examine the contribution made by Sino-American competition to this tragic history. Analysing the IMPACT of Sino-American relations on Chinese and American policies towards Vietnam, the study finds that Vietnam never was the primary subject of American foreign policy, though America was deeply involved in Vietnam during the twenty-five years between 1950 and 1975. Washington???s Vietnam policy was largely based on its perception of China. Likewise, Beijing???s policy towards Vietnam was greatly affected by the state of its relations with Washington. Vietnam was a victim of their confrontation. The analysis shows that the increase in American involvement during the last stage of the first Vietnam War and the start of the second Vietnam War was due to enmity between China and the United States. US neglect was a result of Sino-American rapprochement while US isolation of Vietnam resulted from Sino-American strategic co-operation. Though the third Vietnam War was a consequence of Sino-Soviet competition, Washington also indirectly encouraged Beijing to be tough with Vietnam, as it needed Chinese support in its relations with Moscow. Analysing changes in Chinese and American polices towards Vietnam, the study observes that when a small state is caught in an intra-power struggle, bug powers will always try to use the small state as a tool in their rivalry. The main lesson for small states is to avoid being caught in such big-power competition. Politicians in small states should also avoid taking sides with big powers lest this create opportunities for big power interference and draw the small state into big power competition. This needs the political acumen and flexibility to distinguish national interest from self-interest.

This study sought to answer why conflict in Turkey-Iran relations increased in the covered period, considering &ndash / relatively- smooth relations between Turkey and Iran in the 1980s, and thermidorizing of Iran in the 1990s. Indeed, ideology has had an important place in bilateral relations between Iran and Turkey for a long time. Ideological factors constituted the immediate reasons for conflict between Turkey and Iran in the 1990s as well. However, ideological differences between the two countries did not cause any serious conflict in the 1980s. Then, the question arises, why and how did ideological reasons led to severe frictions between Iran and Turkey in the 1990s. In this regard, this thesis paid attention to two factors that have profound effects on the foreign policies of Turkey and Iran / changing internal conditions, and the changing geopolitics of Turkey and Iran after the dissolution of the USSR and the Gulf War of 1991.

O objetivo desta dissertação é investigar o viés coletivo da autobiografia ficcional de Face of an angel, da escritora estadunidense e de origem mexicana Denise Chávez. Desse modo, o trabalho pretende discutir a sociedade chicana descrita sob a ótica da narradora/protagonista, Soveida Dosamantes, investigando desde o processo histórico de que é resultado, passando pela iniquidade entre os papéis desempenhados por homens e mulheres até chegar ao discurso autorreferencial com que a narradora/protagonista representa o ambiente cultural em que se insere. Antes da narrativa propriamente dita, há a árvore genealógica da narradora/protagonista, assinalando que o que vai se descortinar ao longo da leitura é uma saga de família. Assim, Soveida Dosamantes utiliza a sua ambiência doméstica, bem como a comunidade da fictícia cidade de Água Oscura, sua cidade natal, como recorte de uma estrutura social maior. Fazendo uso do discurso autobiográfico, a narradora/protagonista criada por Denise Chávez expõe as mazelas de uma comunidade que, em virtude ser produto do colonialismo e do neocolonialismo, perdeu sua identidade cultural. Em Face of an angel, através do relato em primeira pessoa de sua narradora/protagonista, a autora Denise Chávez reproduz o universo em que nasceu e cresceu. Cedendo a Soveida Dosamantes componentes autobiográficos como complicadas relações familiares, personagens femininas nativas que funcionam como sentinelas de práticas ancestrais que o domínio europeu apagou, personagens masculinos que mascaram sua fragilidade por trás de uma força e de um poder aparentes, Chávez representa em Face of an Angel o microcosmos de uma comunidade que vem, aos poucos, subvertendo o discurso oficial e conquistando o seu terreno no panorama político e social estadunidense / The present dissertation aims to investigate the collective hue of Face of an angel, a fictional autobiography by Mexican American writer Denise Chávez. Therefore, this research intends to discuss the Chicano society described under the lens of its narrator/protagonist, Soveida Dosamantes, investigating it since the historical process it resulted from, moving to the iniquity between mens and womens roles, and finally reaching the self-referential discourse with which the narrator/protagonist represents the cultural environment she is inserted in. Before the narrative itself, the reader is presented to the narrator/protagonists genealogic tree, signaling that what is going to develop throughout the novel is a family saga. Thus, Soveida Dosamantes makes use of her domestic ambience and also the community of the fictional town of Agua Oscura, her homeland, as the cutout of a major social framework. Employing autobiographical discourse, the narrator/protagonist created by Denise Chávez exposes the ills of a community that, as a product of colonialism and neocolonialism, has lost its cultural identity. In Face of an Angel, by means of the narrator/protagonists first person account, Denise Chávez reproduces the ethos she was born and grew up in. Endowing Soveida Dosamantes with autobiographical components such as complicated family relations, native women characters who work as gatekeepers of ancestral practices erased by European domination, as well as men characters who mask frailty underneath the appearance of strength and power, Chávez represents in Face of an angel a microcosm of a group which little by little has been subverting the official discourse and gaining terrain in the U.S. political and social panorama

Objetivou-se compreender como aspectos relativos à geração (MANNHEIN, 1982) e ciclos vitais dos professores (MARCELO,1999) se inter-relacionam na configuração das relações intergeracionais (SARTI, 2009) estabelecidas entre professora em exercício e a futura professora, durante o estágio supervisionado de prática de ensino. Para tanto, buscou-se identificar e analisar as representações sobre o trabalho docente que emergiam nos momentos de interação estabelecidos entre a professora e estudante durante o estágio supervisionado de prática de ensino e as relações cotidianamente estabelecidas entre elas. Procurou-se conhecer o modo como cada uma das gerações profissionais em questão percebia o trabalho docente e que significados lhe atribuíam. A pesquisa foi realizada sob uma perspectiva qualitativa e a coleta de dados por meio de observação (com recurso de videogravação) e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas por meio de videoconfrontação. Os dados assim reunidos foram analisados no que se refere ao seu conteúdo. Os resultados desta investigação reafirmam os achados de pesquisas da área que enfatizam a importância da experiência docente para o estabelecimento de relações mais contextualizadas e estratégicas com o ensino e das relações intergeracionais docentes para a formação de novos professores. Por outro lado, os dados reunidos apontam para limitações impostas pelo modelo atual de formação de professores, que não confere aos professores da escola espaços mais sistemáticos na formação, como formadores de campo. / This research has aimed to identify the processes ongoing in the settle interactions between two different teaching generations, which is represented by a senior teacher and an academic student of pedagogy course, who is in the early education teaching. It was aimed to understand the aspects related to generations (MANNHEIN, 1982) and vital cycles of the teachers (MARCELO,1999) interrelated to the settling of the intergenerationrelationships (SARTI, 2009) between a senior teacher and a future teacher, throughout the supervised practice teaching. And to this purpose, the research tried to identify and analyze the representations of the teaching, which showed up in the settle interactions moments between the senior teacher and the future teacher, where it took place over the supervised teacher education and the daily interactions set between them. It was sought to know the way each generation into the matter notice the teaching work and its assigned meaning. The research was carried out under a quality perspective and a gathering data by the noticing (such as videotaping) and interviews semi structured also carried out by videotaping. The data was gathered and analyzed concerning to its content. The outcomes of this investigation restate the findings of the research which highlight the importance of the experience in teaching as a result to set relationships more contextualized and strategies of teaching and the intergeneration teaching as a result of a formation of new teachers. On the other hand, the gathered data pointed out to place restrictions to the current standard teacher education, which is not compatible to a more systematical teacher educationin the school environment.
