Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-29T15:14:24Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Noeci C Messias.pdf: 1667595 bytes, checksum: 3e93545242f70d0aab538d57a7c80144 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-12-10 / With the purpose of scrutinizing the specifics of some of the religious parties, elected as the locus of this research, two festivals: the Holy Spirit and Our Lady of the Rosary on Monte do Carmo and Natividade; towns from the gold cycle, in the eighteenth century and belonging to former northern Goias, current state of Tocantins. Studies on religious parties and has been increasingly developed in the historiography. Thus, this research aims to highlight the everyday experiences of popular religious devotion held annually in both cities. Such events are expressed through a diverse set of rituals pertaining to the cycle of the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary and Holy Ghost. Also intends to show that such demonstrations represent and reinforce the ritualistic social systems and hierarchical, and a joint incorporation of both elements of modernity and traditional. The research encourages the reader to reflect as parties transplanted from Europe and Afrique to colonial Brazil can be perpetuated until the present time, becoming an important event in local communities, allowing the strengthening of family ties and contributing to the construction and reconstruction of identities local and regional. To support the construction and reconstruction of scientific study enrolled to documentary sources of public and private archives, documents, manuscripts of brotherhood, official letters, journals, oral testimony. As a source of bibliographic support, we use texts from various scholars dealing with the issue in Brazil, Goiás and Tocantins. By doing a comparative analysis it was observed that although the historical origin of the festivities of the Holy Spirit is the same, the paths taken by two different cities experiencing the ritualistic practices, although similar. Many of the existing elements in the celebrations of the Holy Spirit of Monte do Carmo not exist in the Natividade and vice versa. However, it is interesting how an "invented tradition" by a white elite in the colonial period, aiming to provide, among other things, the conversion of the Negroes to Catholicism, can be reinterpreted and reformulated later by a community, going to represent the identity of community. / Com o objetivo de perscrutar as especificidades de algumas das festas religiosas do Estado do Tocantins, elegi como locus desta pesquisa, duas festividades: Divino Espírito Santo e Nossa Senhora do Rosário em Monte do Carmo e em Natividade; cidades originárias do ciclo do ouro, no século XVIII e pertencentes ao antigo Norte de Goiás, atual Estado do Tocantins. Estudos sobre festas e religiosidade tem sido cada vez mais elaborados no campo historiográfico. Assim, esta pesquisa visa destacar as experiências cotidianas de devoção da religiosidade popular realizadas anualmente em ambas as cidades. Tais manifestações se expressam através de um diversificado conjunto de rituais pertencentes ao ciclo da Festa de Nossa Senhora do Rosário e do Divino Espírito Santo. Pretende-se mostrar também que tais manifestações ritualísticas representam e reforçam os sistemas sociais e hierárquicos, em uma articulação e incorporação tanto de elementos da modernidade quanto tradicionais. A pesquisa instiga o leitor a refletir como festas transplantadas da Europa e da África para o Brasil colonial conseguem se perpetuar até o momento atual, configurando-se em um importante evento das comunidades locais, possibilitando o fortalecimento de vínculos familiares e contribuindo para a construção e reconstrução das identidades locais e regionais. Para respaldar a construção e reconstrução deste estudo científico arrolaram-se fontes documentais de arquivos públicos e privados, documentos manuscritos de irmandade, correspondências oficiais, periódicos e depoimentos orais. Como fonte de apoio bibliográfico, utilizei textos de diversos estudiosos que tratam da temática no Brasil, em Goiás e Tocantins. Ao fazer uma análise comparativa foi possível observar que embora a origem histórica das festividades do Divino Espírito Santo seja a mesma, os caminhos percorridos pelas duas cidades revelam práticas ritualísticas diversas, embora semelhantes. Muitos dos elementos existentes nos festejos do Divino Espírito Santo de Monte do Carmo não existem em Natividade e vice-versa. No entanto, é interessante observar como uma tradição inventada por uma elite branca, no período colonial, visando proporcionar, entre outras coisas, a conversão dos negros ao catolicismo, pode ser reformulada e reinterpretada posteriormente por uma comunidade, passando a representar a identidade desta comunidade.

CARVALHO, Euzebio Fernandes de 28 November 2008 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2014-07-29T16:17:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 dissertacao euzebio historia.pdf: 2205586 bytes, checksum: a61ccd5cdc94ae11b9a9b95826833a6f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2008-11-28 / We analyze the rosaryan devotion in the City of Goiás from the Memorial of Memory, written between 1881 and 1930, by Anna Joaquina Marques. During the colonization of Brazil, the devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary gained importance near the enslaved Africans, becoming one of the biggest catholic devotions, in number of loyal ones and in quantity of churches erected to this devotion. Nevertheless, the catholic reform (Ultramountainism) provoked the resign of devotion of rosary. In the last decades of the century XIX, in the backwoods of Central Brazil, the Dominican mission, associated to the administrations of the bishops of the diocese Sant'Anna of Goiás, Cláudio José Ponce de Leão and Eduardo Duarte Silva, the traditional and from the backwoods religiosity was reformed. New devotions were stimulated, others criticized and banished. So, the Catholic Church acted straightly in religious practice of the population, subjecting to his administration the churches administered you them brotherhoods and the principal religious celebrations. We observe the consequences of the ultramontane reforms in religious daily practices of the vilaboenses choosing like key of analysis to devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary of the Blacks, at the level of the experiences of the subjects, through the scripture of Anna Joaquina Marques / Analisamos a devoção rosarina na Cidade de Goiás a partir do Memorial de Lembrança, escrito entre 1881 e 1930, pela vilaboense Anna Joaquina Marques. Durante a colonização do Brasil, a devoção à Nossa Senhora do Rosário ganhou importância junto aos escravizados africanos, tornando-se uma das maiores devoções católicas, em número de fiéis e em quantidade de igrejas erigidas a este orago. Contudo, a reforma católica (Ultramontanismo) provocou a ressemantização de devoção rosarina. Nas últimas décadas do século XIX, nos sertões do Brasil Central, a missionação dominicana associada às administrações dos bispos da diocese de Sant Anna de Goiás, dom Cláudio José Ponce de Leão e dom Eduardo Duarte Silva, a religiosidade tradicional e sertaneja foi reformada. Novas devoções foram estimuladas, outras criticadas e banidas. Assim, a Igreja agiu diretamente na prática religiosa da população, submetendo à sua administração as igrejas administradas pelas irmandades e as principais festas religiosas. Observamos as conseqüências das reformas ultramontanas nas práticas religiosas cotidianas dos vilaboenses escolhendo como chave de análise a devoção a Nossa Senhora do Rosário dos Pretos, ao nível das experiências dos sujeitos, por meio da escritura de Anna Joaquina Marques

Koreň, Marián January 2016 (has links)
Senior thesis "The development of electoral support of far-right parties in Slovakia during 2010-2016 and factors influencing this support" examines the development of electoral support of Slovak National Party and People's Party Our Slovakia using some of the tools of electoral support geography. The theoretical part is dedicated to existing definitions of extreme right-wing parties through which the choice of parties for further examination is made. The analytical part is split into two parts: the first classifies electoral support through the method of region and core of electoral support. At the same time, the first part defines regions which have had a stable electoral support throughout the entire observed period. All findings are presented in a cartographic form. Using an array of statistical tools, the latter part takes on the task of correlating the results of elections, in regards to far-right parties, with selected demographic characteristics of municiplaties, which are assumed to have positive impact upon the income of far-right parties.

The Body as a Grenade : Illness Metaphors, The Suffering of Others and Conservativism in Contemporary Sick-Flicks

Gregory, Christian January 2023 (has links)
Film has since its inception been a potent storytelling tool, and the concept of illnesses and death havebeen a critical element in the stories mankind has told through cinema since the beginning. While theearly years of film saw few titles which directly named or featured diseases such as cancer, the 1980’sand 1990’s saw a vast increase in illness narratives being produced. By the beginning of the newmillennium, a new subgenre of film was beginning to emerge, specifically targeted at youngaudiences: Sick-Flicks.The purpose of this thesis is to examine the Sick-Flick subgenre, and scrutinize the films which the author has identified according to how they handle a variety of factors. These include the portrayal ofmale and female sufferers in accordance with the feminist theoretical observation of masculinity beingrepresented as active, while femininity is typically passive in nature. Beyond this, the essay alsoattempts to add to Susan Sontag’s essay Illness as Metaphor, exploring how the portrayal of illnessmay have shifted since the essay’s publication in 1978. Finally, this thesis also concerns itself with thereoccurring narrative trend of featuring talented adolescents as terminally ill sufferers and how thismay tie into neoliberalism and belief in the meritocracy.This thesis concludes that while there has been a shift in the metaphorical portrayal of diseases,especially as it pertains to cancer, which Susan Sontag concludes unsuitable for romanticization,overall, many of the criticisms and potentially problematic commonalities which both Sick-Flicks andtheir literary counterpart Sick-Lit have featured through the years remain. There is a remaining focuson heteronormative and racially homogenous victims, and innate talents and intelligence are present,arguably in order to make the eventual loss of the ill characters more tangibly tragic. The authorconcludes that while it is debatable whether or not filmmakers should feel any responsibility to portrayillnesses accurately, they should at least likely strive to reflect the current reality as far as survivalrates are concerned.

The Young & The Dying : The Continued Romanticization of Terminally Ill Adolescents in Contemporary American Cinema

Gregory, Christian January 2020 (has links)
This essay examines how the past decade’s wave of young adult films portraying termi-nal illnesses compare and contrast with similar works from both film as well as literary works commonly referred to as “sick-lit”. By viewing three prominent films released be-tween 2014 and 2019 and applying both literature dealing with sick-lit as well as texts fo-cused on how cinema tends to portray serious illnesses such as cancer, I attempt to dis-cern whether significant change in the way which contemporary film handles severe ill-nesses has occurred.What this study reveals is that while certain narrative traits have been altered and various problematic elements addressed, film still vastly prefers portraying illnesses such as can-cer and cystic fibrosis as bleak, death sentences. The “sick-flicks” of modern-day cinema have also failed to address critique of the sub-genre as being both heteronormative and racially homogenous in nature.However, compared to films depicting terminal illnesses in teenagers from the 2000’s the recent wave of films in general dedicate more time to spotlighting their diseases. No longer relegating them to emotional revelations toward the end of the film.Overall, the findings are that most criticisms of cinema’s portrayal of terminal illnesses remain, yet progress has also been achieved in certain respects. Filmmakers more inter-ested in utilizing illnesses as a way to examine coming-of-age topics than the full experi-ence of terminal illness, notwithstanding.

Informationsinhämtning under pandemi : Enkätstudie om informationsinhämtningen hos folk i vår närhet under pandemins början och nuläge

Henriksson, Olle, Okafor, Solomon January 2022 (has links)
Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka informationsinhämtningen hos folk i vår närhet angående COVID-19. Vi ville veta vilken plattform dessa människor får/fått sin primära information under dessa två perioder, men också få en förståelse kring vilka informationskällor som de tycker/tyckte vsr viktigast för dem.Forskningsfrågor: Vilka plattformar har folk i vår närhet under Varningsperioden och Rekylperioden? Vilka informationskällor var viktiga för folk i vår närhet under Varningsperioden och Rekylperioden? Vilka medier/plattformar har folk i vår närhet mest förtroende för under Varningsperioden och Rekylperioden?Metod: Vår studie genomfördes med hjälp utav en kvantitativ enkätundersökning. Studien använde sig utav en kvantitativ och tvärsnittsdesign, även kallad survey design.Resultat: Resultatet i vår enkätundersökning visade tydligt att respondenterna primära informationsinhämtning kom genom olika plattformar från myndigheterna, deras hemsidor och sociala medier under båda dessa perioder. Bortser vi myndigheterna, så var de journalistiska nyhetsmedierna respondenternas andrahandsval. När det gäller respondenternas viktigaste informationskällor under dessa två perioder, så föredrog de myndigheternas hemsidor och de journalistiska nyhetsmedierna. Angående respondenternas förtroende för medier under dessa två perioder, så visade det sig att respondenterna hade mest förtroende för medier under dessa två perioder, så visade det sig att respondenterna hade mest förtroende för myndigheterna, och förtroendet har stigit med tiden. Respondenternas engagemang låg överlägset mest hos myndigheterna under både Varningsperioden och Rekylperioden.Slutsats: Vår enkätundersökning visade tydligt att folk i vår närhets primära informationsinhämtning angående COVID-19 kom genom olika plattformar från myndigheterna, såsom Folkhälsomyndigheten och 1177 Vårdguiden under både Varningsperioden och Rekylperioden. De journalistiska nyhetsmedierna var respondenternas andrahandsval, såsom Aftonbladet och SVT under båda perioderna. Respondenternas förtroende under båda perioderna var starkast för myndigheterna, såsom Folkhälsomyndigheten, och i nuläget var det jämnt med hos båda två. Lägst trovärdighet var för sociala medier.
