Un nombre important d’individus subit des conséquences négatives en lien avec une appartenance à un groupe peu adapté socialement (p. ex., membre d’un gang de rue). Certains parviennent à mettre fin à cette identification, alors que d'autres n’y arrivent pas. Nous proposons que les individus qui réussissent le peuvent grâce à l’intégration d’une nouvelle identité, davantage adaptée, et conflictuelle avec leur identité d’origine. Dans ce mémoire, nous mettons de l’avant l’argument que lors de conflit identitaire majeur entre deux identités, le processus d’intégration identitaire est soustractif. Cinq sous hypothèses ont été testées lors de deux études effectuées avec des participants vivant un conflit identitaire majeur. Un niveau élevé de conflit identitaire prédit un faible niveau d’identification envers l’identité au statut le moins élevé (hypothèse 1). Un lien prédictif est postulé entre le statut perçu d’une identité et le niveau d’identification à cette identité (hypothèse 2). Un niveau d’intégration identitaire élevé de la nouvelle identité prédit un faible niveau d’identification envers l’identité au statut le moins élevé (hypothèse 3). Un niveau d’intégration identitaire élevé de la nouvelle identité prédit un faible niveau de déviance (étude 1) et d’alcoolisme (étude 2) (hypothèse 4). Finalement, un niveau d’intégration identitaire élevé de la nouvelle identité prédit un niveau de bien-être élevé (hypothèse 5). Les résultats de la première étude (N=42), effectuée sur un échantillon de jeunes filles placées en Centre Jeunesse, vont dans le sens des hypothèses 2 et 3. Les résultats de la deuxième étude (N=28), effectuée sur un échantillon d’individus membres des Alcooliques Anonymes, vont dans le sens des hypothèses 2 et 5. / An important number of individuals suffer from negative consequences associated with a negative social identity (i.e., members of street gangs). A number of them are able to get rid of that identity, whereas others continue to belong to a negative group. We theorize that individuals who no longer identify to a negative group are those who integrate a pro-social identity, in conflict with their original identity. In this thesis, we bring forward the argument that in the presence of a strong identity conflict between two identities; the identity integration process follows a subtractive pattern. In order to support this statement, the five following sub-hypotheses have been tested: a high level of identity conflict predicts a low level of identification towards the identity with a perceived lower status (hypothesis 1). The status attributed to an identity predicts of the level of identification toward that identity (hypothesis 2). A high level of identity integration of the new identity predicts a low level of identification towards the identity with the perceived lower status (hypothesis 3). A high level of identity integration of the new identity predicts a low level of deviance (study 1) and alcoholism (study 2) (hypothesis 4). Finally, a high level of identity integration of the new identity predicts a high level of well-being (hypothesis 5). Results from the first study (N=42), conducted on a sample of young girls placed in a rehabilitation center, support hypothesis 2 and 3 whereas results from study 2 (N=28), conducted on a sample of individuals member of Alcoholics Anonymous, support hypotheses 2 and 5.

Dans cette étude nous nous interrogeons sur les raisons qui, au moment où il semble exister une meilleure sécurité sanitaire des aliments, font que les peurs alimentaires occupent une place aussi importante dans les discours qu’ils émanent des mangeurs ordinaires, des professionnels de la filière agroalimentaire ou des experts. Nous analysons ici les discours relatifs aux peurs alimentaires afin d’en déterminer les fondements et justifications. Nous postulons que ces peurs doivent être considérées comme des métaphores sociales. L’alimentation est un lieu d’expression et de cristallisation des crises identitaires des différents acteurs. Dans une perspective compréhensive, nous reconstituons des récits de vie du point de vue des peurs alimentaires, puis nous les confrontons les uns aux autres, et enfin nous les articulons avec le contexte social et historique au sein duquel ils ont émergés. En déconstruisant les discours nous reconstruirons la logique de ces peurs / While today the sanitary security of food is largely secured, we examine the reasons why food fears occupy such an important place in discourses by ordinary eaters, food industry professionals as well as experts. We attempt here to analyze such fear-related discourses so as to determine grounds and justifications. We defend the hypothesis that such fears should be considered as social metaphors - food revealing the expression and crystallisation of the diverse protagonists’ identity crisis.In a comprehensive perspective, we reconstruct life stories focusing on food fears then we confront them; finally we articulate them with the social and historical context they are stemming from. By deconstructing discourses, we reconstruct the intrinsic logic of such fears.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present search has with mean aim to examine how AIDS was constructed as a social cause. It investigates more particularly the process by which the disease has become a public issue, for that AIDS was analyzed into its 30 years of struggle, starting with its appearance in the media until the institutionalization of the cause. To reach this goal, bibliographic resources, interviews and internet material were used - namely - collection of magazine, webites that reported the creation of institutions and interviews with informants-key were made to understand the trajectory of militants "sergipanos". The dissertation is divided into three stages, the first is the resumption of an analysis of the emergence of AIDS in Brazil, with the performance of the gay movement, the State interference for prevention and treatment, the creation of NGOs dedicated exclusively to fighting disease and a brief analysis of the trajectory of two militants, Daniel Herbert and Herbert de Souza, important actors in the national political struggle and in this case, more specifically in fighting AIDS as HIV positive. The second point refers to the arrival of AIDS in Sergipe and how it was being handled by the institutions and governments, pioneering actions and measures taken to fight the disease. Finally, the third and final chapter analyzes three modes of engagement in the fight against AIDS, the first through professionalization, then how multi engagement led to fighting AIDS, and finally, how the disease makes a militant arise. Thus, this work may examine the fight against AIDS in a diversity, making a resumption of key moments to understand how AIDS has become a social problem and, how around this problem, has emerged a struggle that became increasingly institutionalized. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo examinar a construção da AIDS como uma causa social, mais especificamente, como a luta de combate a Aids tornou-se uma bandeira nos movimentos sociais. Trata-se de investigar mais particularmente o processo pelo qual a doença se tornou um problema público e as particularidades envolvidas durante o desenvolvimento da causa. Para cumprir esse objetivo a luta contra Aids foi analisada ao longo dos seus 30 anos, partindo do seu surgimento na mídia até a institucionalização da causa. Para dar conta de tal objetivo foram utilizados recursos bibliográficos, entrevistas, material de internet – a saber – acervo de revista, sites que informavam sobre surgimento de instituições e entrevistas para entender a trajetória percorrida pelos militantes sergipanos na organização do movimento. Essa dissertação está dividida em três momentos: o primeiro consiste na retomada de uma análise sobre o surgimento da Aids no Brasil, a importância da atuação do movimento gay e da interferência do Estado para a prevenção e tratamento da doença, o surgimento de ONGs dedicadas exclusivamente a causa da Aids, e por fim uma breve analise da trajetória de dois militantes, Herbert Daniel e Herbert de Souza, atores importantes na luta política nacional e, nesse caso, mais especificamente, no combate a Aids como soropositivos. O Segundo momento, refere-se à chegada da Aids em Sergipe e como foi sendo tratada pelas instituições e governos, quais medidas adotadas e ações pioneiras no combate à doença. Por fim, o terceiro e último capítulo, analisa três modalidades de engajamento na luta contra a Aids. O primeiro através da profissionalização, o segundo como o multiengajamento que foi fundamental para a entrada no movimento de combate a Aids e por fim, como a doença tem a capacidade de converter pessoas que não tem histórico de engajamento em militantes do combate à Aids. Assim, esse trabalho pode analisar a luta contra a Aids em uma sua diversidade, fazendo uma retomada de momentos fundamentais para compreender como a Aids se tornou um problema social e como ao redor desse problema, foi surgindo uma luta que se tornou cada vez mais institucionalizada.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Diego Ebling do Nascimento.pdf: 1315154 bytes, checksum: 87d969d98aa00ec5ca92a69304da29c9 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-02-07 / The present research aims to analyze, from narratives, professional dancers‟ life trajectory, who currently understand them as homosexuals, are under-graduated in Physical Education, and work with dancing. It was analyzed the impact and consequences of homosexuality on these professional teachers‟ career, besides describing their family relationship, their primary academic qualification, and their labor market. The sample was comprised of five professional dancers/teachers. The methodological reference being used was qualitative wise. As the purpose of the research is not limited to a single case, but to a pre-selected group of professional dancers/teachers, the adopted procedure for data collection was a multiple-case study. It was chosen, therefore, a life trajectory‟s study case. The research was made by means of a thematic semi-structured interview. An intentional sample was chosen, as the selected sample is formed by individuals who work with dancing, are openly homosexuals, and whose academic career was in Physical Education field. In order to process the data, the content analysis technique was used. The results show that mothers are present as the major family reference and demonstrated, likewise fathers, their concerns relating to teachers‟ low pay. Today all families accept homosexuality. The Catholic religion, however, sprang the feeling of inferiority in two interviewees. All the interviewees found through body practices a greater acceptability from workmates and friends. Concerning labor market, it was identified a preference for working in non-formal environments, the existence of few public policies for dancing in Rio Grande do Sul, that prejudice is still present in both formal and non-formal workplaces, and that there is a concern relating to who is integrated in the labor market, since many dancing classes tutors do not have the necessary formation, according to the interviewees. It is believed that the present research contributes scientifically for gender and sexuality studies. However, many studies related to this theme can still be put into practice. / A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as trajetórias de vida, a partir das narrativas dos profissionais da dança que atualmente se reconhecem homossexuais, são formados em educação física e trabalham com a dança. Verificarmos o impacto e as consequências da homossexualidade na trajetória profissional destes professores, além de descrever a relação familiar, a formação inicial e o mercado de trabalho de cada um dos profissionais. Os sujeitos foram compostos por cinco professores/bailarinos. A referência metodológica foi pautada na perspectiva qualitativa. Como a proposta da pesquisa não se limita a um único caso, mas a um conjunto de professores de dança/bailarinos pré-selecionados, o procedimento adotado para coleta de dados foi o estudo de casos múltiplos. Optamos, então, pelo estudo de casos de trajetórias de vida. A pesquisa foi realizada através de uma entrevista temática semiestruturada. Escolhemos realizar uma amostra intencional, tendo em vista que os sujeitos que atendem ao perfil desejado pelo pesquisador foram os indivíduos que fizeram sua trajetória acadêmica na área da educação física, trabalham com a dança e se assumem homossexuais. Para tratar os dados, utilizamos a técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelaram que as mães apareceram como maior referência familiar e demonstravam, como os pais, inquietações motivadas pela baixa remuneração dos professores. Atualmente, todas as famílias aceitam a homossexualidade. A religião católica despertou em dois entrevistados o sentimento de inferioridade. Todos os entrevistados encontraram nas práticas corporais um meio de maior aceitação de colegas e amigos. Quanto ao mercado de trabalho identificamos que há maior preferência por trabalhar em espaços não formais, que são poucas as políticas públicas para a dança no Rio Grande do Sul, que o preconceito ainda está presente tanto no espaço formal quanto não formal e que foi demonstrada preocupação com quem está no mercado de trabalho, pois os entrevistados consideram que muitos ministrantes de aulas de dança não tem a formação necessária para estarem atuando. Acreditamos que a presente pesquisa trouxe contribuições científicas para o âmbito dos estudos de gênero e sexualidade. No entanto, muitos estudos relacionados a esta temática ainda podem ser realizados. Palavras-chave:

En parcourant l’histoire de la société iranienne tout au long de XXe siècle, on ne peut qu’être frappé par les transformations sociales, démographiques, politiques et économiques, brutaux et rapides. Partant de ce constat, cette thèse s’efforce de reconstruire la pluralité des formes culturelles légitimes résultant d’un état de crise et d’instabilité durable et structurelle (transformations structurelles dans les institutions socialisatrices, déclassements et reclassements multiples, absencede stabilisation ou d’imposition d’une culture légitime).L’analyse part d’une approche macrosociologique fondée, d’une part sur l’histoire des mutations rapides de la société iranienne pour retracer leurs impacts sur la stratification sociale, notamment la composition des classes dominantes de la société, et d’autre part sur un corpus de données statistiques à l’échelle nationale pour dessiner le schéma de l’espace social iranien où se positionnent différents groupes sociaux caractérisés par leurs capitaux économiques et scolaires, ainsi que par leurs goûts et pratiques culturelles ou leurs orientations religieuses et politiques. En seconde partie, cette thèse s’appuie sur une vingtaine d’entretiens avec des personnes appartenant aux classes dominantes, pour reconstruire leur trajectoire de vie, montrer leurs processus de socialisation au cours d’une histoire faite de ruptures, et mettre en lumière les conditions sociales de construction d’une pluralité des formes culturelles légitimes en Iran. / By looking through the history of Iranian society throughout the twentieth century, we are struck by the brutal and rapid social, demographic, political and economic transformations. Based on this observation, this thesis attempts to reconstruct the plurality of legitimate cultural forms resulting from a state of crisis along with a lasting and structural instability (structural changes in socializing institutions, multiple downgrades and reclassifications of social positions, lack of stabilization orimposition of a legitimate culture).The analysis is founded on a macro-sociological approach, on one hand, based on the history of rapid mutations in Iranian society in order to trace their impact on social stratification, notably the composition of the dominant classes of society, and on the other, grounded on a corpus of statistical data at the national level in order to draw the schema of the Iranian social space where are positioned the different social groups characterized by their economic and educational capital, as well as by their cultural tastes and practices or their religious and political orientations. In the second part, this thesis is based on over twenty interviews with persons who belong to the dominant classes in order to reconstruct their life trajectory, to show their socialization processes during a history of breaks, and to highlight the social conditions of building a plurality of legitimate cultural forms in Iran.

[pt] Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as trajetórias de vida, em formato autobiográfico, como estratégia didática na construção do conhecimento histórico escolar. Por meio do desenvolvimento de uma proposta educacional própria, mobilizamos a metodologia da pesquisa-ação, em conjunto com três turmas do 6º ano do Ensino Fundamental da Escola Municipal Sérgio Buarque de Holanda na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Em vista disso, parte da proposta didática consiste, em conjunto com outras atividades educacionais, na apropriação do Museu da Pessoa, um museu virtual, que compreende as trajetórias de vida como patrimônio da humanidade. As atividades procuraram investigar a utilização dessas trajetórias de vida enquanto possibilidade de construção do saber histórico escolar no ensino básico. Procuramos, desse modo, mobilizar conceitos e categorias tradicionalmente utilizados como conteúdos no 6º ano para investigar as possibilidades do uso das autobiografias por intermédio do Museu no ensino de História nesse segmento. / [en] This Master s thesis aims to comprehend life path, in autobiographical form, as a didactic strategy to shape the school historical knowledge. Through the development of our own educational proposal, we boost the research-action methodology, along with three classes of the 6th year of Primary School at the Municipal School Sérgio Buarque de Holanda in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, part of the didactic research consists, in combination with other educational activities, to appropriate of the Museu da Pessoa project, a website museum, which uses life path s narratives as a Humanity s Cultural Heritage. The activities draw on personal narratives as a possibility of historical knowledge in basic education. Consequently, we produced and dialogued concepts as resources to investigate the autobiographical practice through the Museu da Pessoa conception.

La présente étude explore la trajectoire de vie d’un détenu condamné à une peine à perpétuité qui bénéficie d’une libération conditionnelle totale afin d’identifier laquelle ou lesquelles des cinq grandes conceptualisations théoriques du désistement criminel permettent le mieux d’expliquer sa trajectoire de désistement. Pour atteindre cet objectif, une méthodologie qualitative de type exploratoire a été privilégiée. Un homme purgeant une peine à perpétuité dans la collectivité a été rencontré en contexte d’entretiens afin de restituer en profondeur son histoire de vie et cerner, à la lumière des théories recensées, les concepts applicables à son désistement criminel. Une série de neuf entretiens d’environ une heure et demie a été réalisée. Le récit de vie de monsieur P est présenté et analysé pour illustrer l’applicabilité des principales conceptualisations théoriques du désistement criminel qui ont été recensées dans le présent mémoire. L’analyse des données recueillies a permis de faire ressortir l’importance de considérer le concept identitaire dans le processus de désistement et le changement psychologique qui l’accompagne. La discussion aborde quelques pistes d’interventions susceptibles de soutenir le travail des membres du personnel qui œuvrent auprès des délinquants qui purgent de longues peines. Celles-ci prennent en compte les défis posés par la clientèle particulière des détenus à perpétuité et cherchent à maximiser leur réintégration sociale lors de leur mise en liberté. / This research explores the life trajectory of an offender serving a life sentence in the community after having been granted a full parole. The goal of this research is to identify which of the five main theoretical concepts, explaining the cessation of criminal behavior, best indicates what led him to cease his criminal behavior. To reach this objective, an exploratory qualitative research was preferred. A man serving a life sentence in the community was interviewed on numerous occasions. These interviews were aimed at getting the utmost account of his life story and then, by integrating the appropriate theories in the research process, selecting the concepts that best explained the cessation of his criminal behavior. A series of nine interviews, each one lasting approximately an hour and a half, were conducted. For the purpose of this memoir, the life story of Mr. P is presented and analyzed so has to illustrate the application of the main theoretical concepts linked to the cessation of criminal behavior. By analyzing the data collected, the importance of considering the identity concept in the cessation of criminal behavior was noted just as the psychological change that comes with it. The discussion also addresses certain intervention strategies that are likely to offer an improved support for people working with offenders serving long sentences. These interventions take into account the challenges that arise when working with this type of clientele and they aim at maximizing the social reinsertion potential of these individuals upon release.

The narrative of the researched subjects, besides presents a unique process that differentiates them in the context of the homelessness, conveys throughout their own voices and experiences an assessment of the social service which they accessed and used as homeless people. Thus, this study displaces the debate to the realm of effectiveness of the homeless people care policy, focusing on the social service s outcomes in the subjects process of overcoming and getting off the streets. The acknowledgment of social movements, the production of knowledge on homelessness, and the construction of homeless people care policy in Sao Paulo in the last 10 years, are fundamentally important for this research. This is because the achievements, stagnations and retrocession which historically have shaped the construction of that policy point out two premises: the first has an emergency character with a pattern focus based on job placement as the way to get people off the streets, and the second integrates principles of dignity, citizenship and recognition of the subject as well as the variety of needs and human capacity and potential. This latter approach suggests a broader process and articulations leading to the subjects autonomy for reconstruction of their lives / Este estudo busca identificar nas trajetórias de estudantes universitários, ex-moradores de rua da cidade de São Paulo, elementos objetivos e subjetivos que contribuíram em seu processo de saída das ruas e reconstrução de suas vidas. As narrativas dos sujeitos, para além de demonstrar um processo singular que os diferenciam no contexto em que estavam inseridos quando em situação de rua, expressam, pela própria voz e vivências, uma avaliação sobre a dinâmica de serviços socioassistenciais que utilizaram nesse percurso. É um estudo que reposiciona algumas questões sobre a atenção a essa população na cidade de São Paulo. O reconhecimento do movimento das lutas sociais, da produção de conhecimentos sobre a temática, bem como o conteúdo da Política de Atenção à População em Situação de Rua na cidade de São Paulo nos últimos 10 anos, têm fundamental importância para este estudo. Os avanços, estagnações e retrocessos que marcam historicamente o desempenho dessa política ao longo de diferentes governos da cidade, indicam dois pressupostos que resultam da atenção à população em situação de rua na cidade: um de caráter emergencial, fragmentado e restritivo com enfoque padronizador, fundamentado na operação de saída da rua. Outro, pautado na processualidade e que a partir de valores e princípios de dignidade e cidadania no reconhecimento do sujeito e na diversidade de necessidades e das capacidades humanas, sugerem referências pautadas em processos que conduzam ao protagonismo e autonomia para reconstrução de vidas

O presente trabalho de pesquisa pretende fazer um estudo exploratório sobre o Gari Comunitário na Comunidade do Morro do Andaraí, que trabalha com o lixo, e a sua trajetória de vida. Essa atividade laborativa foi criada pelo Programa Favela Limpa da Prefeitura da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro, através da Companhia Municipal de Limpeza Urbana (COMLURB), responsável pela política pública que executa os serviços de limpeza urbana na cidade, para ser implementada nas favelas deste município. Essa atitude surgiu da necessidade da companhia resolver a problemática do acúmulo de resíduos sólidos em áreas consideradas carentes, que até começo da década de 1990 não havia um atendimento sistemático e efetivo nessas áreas, seja pelas dificuldades de se fazer a coleta diária em áreas de terreno acidentado e encostas, seja pela situação da violência. Objetiva-se analisar como se dá e se caracteriza a experiência social do trabalho ao longo de sua trajetória de vida e trabalho na favela até chegar à condição de trabalhador formal, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas que foram efetuadas com os trabalhadores, numa abordagem que envolve as questões qualitativas, tendo como universo investigativo os significados, motivos, aspirações, crenças, valores e ações dos indivíduos, elementos expressos em um contexto de relações sociais estruturadas na esfera do trabalho e no seu local de moradia, a favela. Sendo assim, o estudo revela que o trabalhador teve uma trajetória social ascendente a partir do momento (ou durante) que é inserido em uma política pública de limpeza urbana, que é específica, focalizada, para ser executada nas favelas, comparando a sua história e trajetória de vida nessas localidades (formação social, desemprego, trabalhos precários, insegurança social, mobilidade social). A trajetória de vida e trabalho dos garis comunitários também é atravessada por uma história de pobreza, precariedade e dificuldades econômicas dentro do contexto da favela, e experiências de trabalhos precários e de baixa qualificação, mas que a posição atual em relação à trajetória de seus pais demonstra certa estabilidade tanto na vida social e econômica, quanto no trabalho. / This research intends to make a exploratory study about the Communitarian Street Cleaner Professional at Morro do Andaraí Community that works with garbage and his life trajectory. This activity as a laboratory was created by the Clean Slum Program (Clean Favela Program) of Rio de Janeiro City Hall through the Urban Cleaning Company of this City Hall (COMLURB) which is responsible by the public politics that executes the urban cleaning services of the city to be implemented in the slums/favelas of this city. This program was born upon the need of this company to solve the solid residual garbage problem very common in those considered poor living areas that until 1990s decade begin did not have a systematic and effective attendance in these areas because of the limitations to make these daily collections in accidental terrains and slopes and sometimes because of the violence that is present on these areas. The objective of this research is to analyze how the social experience in this job is characterized and how it is done throughout its life and work trajectory in the slum/favela until it gets to the formal worker condition through semi structured interviews done with the workers in a way that involves qualitative questions and that has as its investigative universe the meanings, reasons, aspirations, beliefs, values and actions of these individuals, expressed elements in a context of social structured relations in the work sphere and in their living places, the slum/favela. In being so this study reveals that the workers had an ascendant social trajectory since the moment (or during) they were inserted in a public politic of urban cleaning which is specific and focused to be executed in the slums/favelas, comparing their life story and trajectory in these places (social formation, unemployment, precarious jobs, social insecurity, social mobility). The life and work trajectory of a communitarian street cleaner professional is also crossed by a history of poorness, precariousness and economic difficulties inside a slum/favela context and precarious jobs experiences and of low qualification but that the actual position related to their parents trajectory shows a certain stability in their social and economic lives and in their jobs.
