O lazer tem sido apontado como um fenômeno relevante na análise do novo rural, entendido como um lugar para viver e não somente um lugar para a produção primária. Nesse sentido o objetivo principal neste trabalho foi analisar o lazer no Assentamento Rural 8 de Junho, tendo como referência a reprodução socioeconômica das famílias rurais, a manutenção do tecido social e cultural e a preservação dos recursos naturais e da paisagem rural. Inicialmente a construção dessa pesquisa foi marcada por um aspecto importante, a partir do vínculo com a orientadora, três trabalhos optaram por um espaço comum de pesquisa os assentamentos rurais oriundos do Movimento dos Sem Terra (MST), esse aspecto permitiu a troca de informações e a construção de um instrumento de coleta de dados compartilhado entre esta e uma das outras duas pesquisas, pelo fato de ambas utilizarem o mesmo espaço. Embasado teoricamente na perspectiva sociológica de reconstrução do rural, do lazer como elemento constituinte dessa perspectiva, bem como numa abordagem da multifuncionalidade da agricultura familiar, procurou-se, a partir dos dados empíricos, coletados a partir de formulário aplicado as famílias do assentamento e de entrevistas com lideranças e famílias, caracterizar o Assentamento 8 de Junho em relação a família, trabalho e produção, conhecer as relações históricas com o lazer nas famílias, identificar potencialidades para o lazer oriundas da cultura, da tradição e da interação com a natureza e apontar perspectivas para o lazer que possa congregar geração de trabalho e renda, interação e preservação ambiental e manutenção do tecido social. Neste cenário constatou-se uma riqueza cultural, social e ambiental expressiva no assentamento estudado, com destaque para a história de luta pela terra, o modo de produção familiar e para as riquezas naturais (cachoeiras, matas, pedreiras, etc.), onde o lazer desempenha um papel importante na sociabilidade da comunidade numa relação entre a tradição e a mudança, porém com relação às práticas de lazer em interação com a natureza e a paisagem percebeu-se um afastamento, principalmente das novas gerações. Com relação a geração de trabalho e renda o lazer ainda não foi considerado na comunidade. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa aponta para a abordagem do turismo rural comunitário, pois ele pode agregar renda e lazer, dois elementos essenciais para a reprodução das famílias no assentamento, em interação com a natureza, paisagem, cultura e tradição local. Fortalece o lazer na comunidade, pois refere-se a oferta à sociedade apenas de práticas que fazem parte do cotidiano da comunidade, com equipamentos construídos pela comunidade. Sob esse olhar ele pode promover um resgate das atividades junto à natureza que estão em desuso ou ainda invisíveis para maioria dos assentados. Promove a interação entre saberes, o saber tradicional dos antigos em relação à pesca, à orientação à fauna e à flora, associado ao saber técnico e científico atuando na manutenção do tecido social e cultural. Pode ainda promover a distribuição dos dividendos baseada na equidade, de acordo com a prática de cooperação. / Leisure has been pointed out as a relevant phenomenon in the analysis of new rural, and it is understood as a place to live and not just a place for primary production. In this sense, the main objective of this study was to analyze leisure in the 8 de Junho rural settlement, having as reference the socioeconomic reproduction of rural households, the maintenance of the social and cultural structure and preservation of natural resources and landscape in the countryside. Initially, the construction of this research was marked by an important aspect, which is the bond between the supervisor and three different researches which chose a common space - rural settlements from Movimento sem Terra (MST). This aspect led to the exchange of information and construction of a data collection instrument shared between this and one of the other two studies, because both used the same space. Theoretically based on the sociological perspective of reconstruction of the rural and the concept of leisure as a constituent element of this perspective and approach of multifunctionality of family agriculture, this research was developed through empiric data collected from questionnaires applied to the households of the settlement and interviews with leaders and families. It aims to characterize the Settlement June 8, regarding to family, work and production, knowing the historical relations between leisure and the families, identifying potential for leisure originated from the local culture/tradition and the interaction with nature, and also to point out perspectives for leisure that can bring together employment and income generation, and environmental preservation and interaction, maintaining the social structure. In this scenario, an expressive cultural, social and environmental wealth was found in the settlement, especially for the history of the struggle for land, the family mode of production and the natural resources (waterfalls, forests, quarries, etc.), where leisure plays an important role in the community sociability, in a relationship between tradition and change. However, as for the leisure practices in interaction with nature and the landscape, we perceived a gap, especially in the younger generation. Regarding the generation of jobs and income, leisure has not been considered in the community, in this sense, the research pointed to the prospect of community rural tourism, by providing culture/nature interaction, the strengthening of leisure and enabling the generation of jobs and income. In this sense, the research points to the approach of rural tourism community, as it can add income and leisure, two essential elements for the reproduction of families in the settlement, in interaction with nature, landscape, local culture and tradition. It strengthens leisure in the community, because it refers to only offering to society the practices that are part of everyday life of the community, with equipment built by the community. Under this view it can promote the reestablishment of activities in nature that are in disrepair or invisible to most of the settlers. It promotes interaction between different knowledge, such as traditional knowledge of the ancients in relation to fisheries, guidance fauna and flora associated with the technical knowledge and scientific working in the maintenance of social and cultural fabric. It can also promote the distribution of dividends based on equity, according to the practice of cooperation.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Communication Science at the University of Zululand, 2002. / In this thesis I present the results of a literature study, followed by an empirical surrey, regarding the leisure time activities of Zulu adolescents in rural and semi-rural areas of KwaZuhi-Natal along the northeastern seaboard of South Africa. My findings contextualise the above group's socialisation with regard to leisure time activities, home chores, school homework, school sports activities, communal tribal activities and local community events. I document and explain a variety of neighbourhood activities, including ones played during impromptu-organised neighbourhood get togethers. They include games ranging from the mundane to the innovative. I also analyse the annual Zulu Reed Dance Ceremony as a symbolic female rite of passage to womanhood, and various activities that serve as male rite-of-passage activities to manhood. My major finding is that all forms of social behaviour of Zulu rural adolescents — including their leisure time preferences — are informed by a coherent value-belief system in which religious beliefs play a central integrating role.

"The problem of this study is to determine whether the hobbies of the fourth and fifth grade boys of the public schools in Denton, Texas, are contributing to their social needs. It is believed that the intangible attributes of living, which can be mearsured neither by rule nor square, make for the well-rounded, happy, social, individual, whether he be adult or child. The degree to which an individual is adjusted socially ranges from the completely anti-social type to the fully-integrated type. The reasons for this gradation are numerous. They include the influence of the home, the school, and the playmates, as well as other factors in the general environment of the child. The purpose of this investigation is to discover whether the hobbies of the boys under consideration are potential and actual forces for integration and socialization."--leaf 1.

How adolescents spend their time is a crucial predictor of their engagement in delinquency. Activities with peers away from direct supervision of adults are of concern as more opportunities and motivation to use marijuana exist in such situations. However, adolescents may vary in their propensity to use marijuana when faced the opportunity. Especially adolescents living with a single parent may have a higher propensity compared to those from two-parent households to use marijuana due to reduced parental monitoring and increased peer attachment. This thesis investigates the moderating effects of family structure on the routine leisure activities and adolescent marijuana use relationship, using data from Monitoring the Future Study 2007, 12th Grade Survey. The results provide partial support for the moderating effects.

Le développement récent des Loisirs Motorisés Hors Route (LMHR) suscite une controverse et de vives réactions dans les milieux du sport et de la protection de l'environnement. Le phénomène est encore peu étudié, à la fois du fait qu'il est récent, que l'argumentation relève de plusieurs disciplines et que les loisirs motorisés, s'ils font partie sans problème de l'outdoor recreation nord-américaine, sont rejetés en France par les autres sportifs et ne sont pas reconnus de façon évidente comme relevant du domaine d'une discipline particulière.<p>Afin de combler un manque dans la littérature scientifique française, cette thèse vise à apporter une connaissance fine de la dynamique de la controverse – en tant qu'échange d'arguments génériques – et des conflits dont les LMHR font l'objet. Elle présente deux originalités majeures : sa thématique et son approche combinant les théories de l'acteur-réseau avec les outils de visualisation et d'analyse de réseau basés sur la théorie des graphes. Cette construction théorique et méthodologique visait à interroger les interrelations entre la controverse portée par des collectifs présents sur la scène nationale et les conflits et interactions sur le terrain. Pour cela, nous avons mené des enquêtes sur quatre scènes : la scène nationale (composée de collectifs pro et anti-motorisé, de Fédérations, de constructeurs, de gestionnaires et décideurs et d'élus) ; deux scènes locales conflictuelles où des démarches de gestion sont en cours (le PNR du Pilat et les Chambarans) ; une scène locale où aucun conflit n'est visible sur la scène publique (le canton de La Grave – Villar d'Arène).<p>Nos résultats montrent, que bien que la controverse trouve ses racines dans des conflits sur le terrain, il n'existerait pas de coprésence entre acteurs qui s'opposent. D'abord, en l'absence de conflit, la scène de La Grave apparaît déconnectée du reste du réseau. Ensuite, les détracteurs des LMHR se mobilisent dans la controverse mais ne cherchent pas directement à agir sur le terrain. Par contre, les défenseurs de la pratique s'impliquent, eux, aux deux niveaux. Enfin, les gestionnaires et agents de la police de l'environnement confrontés à la gestion des activités, nouent des liens sur le terrain et au niveau national, à la fois avec les défenseurs et les détracteurs des LMHR ; devenant parfois des acteurs-passerelles.<p>D'un point de vue théorique et méthodologique, les outils de visualisation et d'analyse de réseau ont montré leur intérêt dans le cadre d'une approche par l'acteur-réseau ; les perspectives apparaissent riches. / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Esta dissertação trata da Qualidade de Vida no trabalho, motivadora do desenvolvimento das pessoas, tendo como referência a Instituição de Ensino Superior nomeada Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), tendo como representatividade os servidores que trabalham em Curitiba. Nela interagem docentes, discentes, técnicos administrativos e pessoas de serviços terceirizados. O objetivo principal do trabalho foi aprofundar as noções do termo “Qualidade de Vida” legitimadas pelo uso e apropriação dos tempos de trabalho e não- trabalho pelas pessoas que atuam em um ambiente institucional de ensino superior. A fundamentação teórica tem como pano de fundo os conceitos de trabalho, tempo de trabalho, tempo livre e Qualidade de Vida nas dimensões sociais e históricas que resgata as condições gerais de trabalho e as propostas específicas da UTFPR. A metodologia foi de natureza qualitativa, buscando a interação entre as variáveis do modelo Meaning of Working Research Team (MOW) com os dados levantados por meio de entrevistas para conhecer a percepção sobre os conceitos que permeiam o termo Qualidade de Vida no trabalho. O tema foi espacialmente delimitado pela escolha de servidores lotados na UTFPR em Curitiba e no aspecto temporal, resgatou depoimentos sobre históricos de atividades de Qualidade de Vida durante os anos de 2013 e 2014. Foram utilizados como instrumentos metodológicos as entrevistas por meio de perguntas abertas. Os resultados da pesquisa de campo confirmaram os conceitos escolhidos para a discussão do marco teórico, o qual estabeleceu correspondências entre tempo livre e tempo de trabalho. Os participantes da pesquisa aproximaram a noção de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho com o uso e a apropriação do tempo livre deles. Assim, concluiu-se que foram tanto as práticas dos trabalhadores quanto as discussões teóricas que constroem as noções e os conceitos de Qualidade de Vida no trabalho. / This dissertation deals with the quality of work life, motivating the development of people, with reference to the institution of higher education named Federal University of Technological- Paraná (UTFPR), Curitiba. It interact faculty, students, administrative staff and people of outsourced services. The main objective was to deepen the notions of the term "Quality of Life" legitimized the use and ownership of working hours and non-work by people who work in an institutional environment of higher education. The theoretical foundation has as a backdrop the concepts of work, working time, leisure time and quality of life in social and historical dimensions that rescues the general working conditions and specific proposals UTFPR. The methodology was qualitative in nature, aiming for the interaction between the variables of the Meaning of Working Research Team (MOW) model with the data collected through interviews to know the perception of the concepts underlying the term quality of life at work. The theme was spatially delimited by the choice of people working at UTFPR-Curitiba, and the temporal aspect, rescued testimony on historical Quality of Life activities during the years 2013 and 2014 interviews through open-ended questions were used as methodological tools. The results of the field research confirmed the concepts chosen for the discussion of the theoretical framework, which established correspondences between free time and work time. Survey participants approached the notion of quality of work life with the use and ownership of their free time. So we were both workers' practices as the theoretical discussions that build the notions and concepts of Quality of Life at Work were completed.

Transparencies: New Zealand from 1953 to 1974 through the Slide Photography of Gladys Cunningham This thesis focuses on the amateur slide photography of Gladys Cunningham, formerly of Onehunga, Auckland. Viewed collectively, these slides provide a visual autobiography of a New Zealand woman’s life, as well as a larger social narrative. As Gladys’s granddaughter, I argue that Gladys’s 35mm colour transparencies, nostalgic fragments that memorialise a family history, are informed by the social history of European New Zealanders between the early 1950s and early 1970s. Gladys’s slides reflect stabilities and changes for the photographer herself, her family and New Zealand society. While the term “transparency” suggests that the meaning of a slide can be understood by all, in reality further contextual information is necessary to appreciate the family and public histories from which these scenes have been separated. To situate Gladys’s slides, I refer to popular magazines and tourist texts from this period, including The Weekly News, National Geographic and New Zealand Holiday, and to commercial slides, postcards and travel marketing texts. I analyse the near absence of Maori within Gladys’s slides and travel journalism, suggesting that their omissions represent a lack of dialogue between Pakeha and Maori. In New Zealand and overseas, slide photography was the popular medium for recording extraordinary family events during the 1950 and 1960s. Through an analysis of memory, leisure and photography, this study examines how Gladys’s photography documents family and community membership and celebration. I explore how aesthetically pleasing representations of family leisure also contain partly concealed clues to less positive memories and to secrets that were not unique to this family. I discuss the impact of private and public transport on Gladys’s slide photography, noting how car travel facilitated spatial and temporal freedoms, and how slide photography strengthened connections to extended family and distant communities. In contrast, Gladys and Jim’s later dependence on coach transport enhanced their ability to take slides and expanded the “family” gaze of their camera, but limited their photographic opportunities.
