A análise parte do debate sobre a mudança de status do texto ao longo do século XX, considerando o duplo movimento de emancipação do texto e da cena em relação à tutela do gênero dramático, o que configura novas possibilidades de escrita e encenação mais permissíveis entre si. Com base nas referências teóricas cotejadas no primeiro capítulo, cria-se uma grade de análise para o exame das dramaturgias selecionadas, com o objetivo de posicioná-las, no terceiro capítulo, entre dois polos: mythos e opsis – e posteriormente serem consideradas polaridades recorrentes entre dispositivos dramatúrgicos encontrados nos textos. O corpus desta dissertação, analisado no segundo capítulo, é composto por textos de autores vencedores do Prêmio Shell de Teatro em São Paulo na categoria de Melhor Autor no período de onze anos – até o início desta pesquisa. Este recorte é retomado no final do terceiro capítulo com o objetivo de estabelecer conexões entre o processo de legitimação de bens culturais por instâncias de consagração, segundo a conceituação do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu, e as estruturas dramatúrgicas analisadas, pensando sobre os desdobramentos entre teoria e prática na contemporaneidade, bem como sobre a função do autor e da noção de autoria no contexto do novo status do texto teatral – e do lugar do dramaturgo – no processo de criação. / The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze texts written by contemporary playwrights from the city of São Paulo, between the years of 2005 to 2015, considering a relationship between text and the scene within the dramaturgies, identifying and reflecting on a presence of incorporated elements of a scenic grammar that evoke materialities in its textual structures. The analysis starts from the debate about the change in the state of the text throughout the twentieth century, considering the double movement of emancipation of the text and the scene in relation to the tutelage of the dramatic genre, which sets up new possibilities of writing and staging more permissible among themselves. Based on theoretical references in the first chapter, an analysis evaluation is created for the examination of selected dramaturgies, with the aim of positioning, in the third chapter, between two poles: mythos and opsis - and later considered recurrent polarities between devices found in the texts. The corpus of this dissertation, analyzed in the second chapter, is composed of texts by authors who won the Shell Prize of Theater in São Paulo in the category of Best Author in the period of eleven years - until the beginning of the research. This methodological cut is resumed at the end of the third chapter with the aim of establishing connections between the process of legitimation of cultural goods by instances of consecration, according to a conception of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the dramaturgical structures analyzed, on the unfolding between theory and practice in contemporaneity, as well as on the function of the author and the notion of authorship, in the context of the new state of the theatrical text - and in the place of the playwright - in the process of creation.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este trabalho visa descrever a experiência de uma pesquisa em psicologia social desde seus momentos iniciais onde o problema de pesquisa ainda se delineava, passando por todas as suas desconstruções a partir do encontro com o campo de pesquisa: a prática do parkour. As ferramentas metodológicas que foram utilizadas vão igualmente recebendo sua forma de acordo com as demandas dos encontros: seguir os atores, acompanhá-los em suas controvérsias, aprender com eles, levar a sério suas recalcitrâncias, compartilhar um campo de afetos, compartilhar uma experiência de cidade e explicitar os processos de tradução da pesquisa. Questões da materialidade, da alteridade, do corpo, da cidade emergem nesse processo, no entanto, busca-se efetivamente descrever um processo de pesquisa à medida que se coloca a questão de pesquisar como uma política ontológica capaz de inventar e re-inventar o pesquisador e as questões que levanta na própria relação com aquilo que o leva a pesquisa. / This paper aims to describe the experience of a research in social psychology since its early stages when the research problem was still emerging, through all its deconstructions by the time of the encounter with the research field: the practice of parkour. The methodological tools that were used would also be shaped according to the demands posed by this relation: to follow the actors, to follow them in their controversies , to learn from them, to take seriously their recalcitrances, to share a field of affections, to share an experience of the city and make explicit the translation processes of the research. Matters of materiality, of otherness, of body, of the city emerge in this process, and however, we seek to effectively describe a research process as it poses the question of researching as an ontological politic capable of inventing and re-inventing the researcher and the questions previously and continuosly raised in the relation to what leads to research.

abstract: This study looked at ways of understanding how schoolyards might act as meaningful places in children's developing sense of identity and possibility. Photographs and other images such as historical photographs and maps were used to look at how built environments outside of school reflect demographic and social differences within one southwest city. Intersections of children's worlds with various socio-political communities, woven into and through schooling, were examined for evidence of ways that schools act as the embodiment of a community's values: they are the material and observable effects of resource-allocation decisions. And scholarly materials were consulted to examine relationships in the images to existing theories of place, and its effect on children, as well as to consider theories of the hidden curriculum and its relationship to social reproduction, and the nature of visual representation as a form of data rather than strictly in the service of illustrating other forms of data. The focus of the study was on identifying appropriate research methods for investigating ways to understand the importance of the material worlds of school and childhood. Using a combination of visual and narrative approaches to contribute to our understanding of those material worlds, I sought to expose areas of inequity and class differences in ways that children experience schooling, as evidenced by differences in the material environment. Using a mixed-methods approach, created and found images were coded for categories of material culture, such as the existence of fences, trees, views from the playground or walking in the neighborhood at four Tempe schools. Findings were connected to a rich body of knowledge in areas such as theories of space and place, the nature of the hidden curriculum, visual culture, visual research methods including mapping. Familiar aspects of schooling were exposed in different ways, linking past decisions made by adults to their continuing effects on children today. In this way I arrived at an expanded and enriched understanding of the present worlds of children communicated as through the material environment. Visually examining children's worlds, by looking at the material artifacts of everyday worlds that children experience at school and including the child's-eye view in decision processes, has promise in moving decision makers away from strictly analytical and impersonal approaches to decision making about schooling children of the future. I proposed that by weighting of data points, as used in decision-making processes regarding schooling, differently than is currently done, and by paying closer attention to possible longer-term effects of place for all children, not just a few, there is the potential to improve the quality of life for today's children, and tomorrow's adults. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.A. Educational Psychology 2013

Over 22,000 sherds of pottery were recovered during the excavation of the small islet of Eilean Dòmhnuill in North Uist in the late 1980s. Analysis of the assemblage has demonstrated that all of the main vessel forms and decorative motifs recognised at the site were already in place when settlement began in the earlier 4th millennium BC and continued to be deposited at the site until its abandonment over 800 years later. Statistically significant stylistic variation is limited to slow drifts in the relative proportions of certain rim forms. Across the Outer Hebrides, decorative elaboration and the presence of large numbers of distinctive vessel forms would appear to mark out certain assemblages seemingly associated with communal gathering and feasting events at key locales within which a distinctive Hebridean Neolithic identity was forged. Throughout, this study takes a relational approach to the issue of variation in material culture, viewing all archaeological entities as dynamic assemblages that themselves form attributes of higher-level assemblages. It is argued that the various constraints and affordances that arise within such assemblages constitute significant structuring principles that give rise to commonly held expectations and dispositions, resulting in the kind of constrained temporal and spatial variation that we observe in the archaeological record and which in turn gives rise to the concept of the archaeological culture.

When looking at the Internet of Things the question arises how people, places and things will be connected to each other in the future. One option to create interoperability between devices and humans for the Internet of Things is to use open web standards. Researchers have named this approach the Web of Things and have studied the vision by showing the technical feasibility and by suggesting software architectures. What has been missing so far is a designer’s view on the challenges of connecting the virtual and the physical world with web technology. This thesis therefore aims to explore how current web technologies can be used as design material for the Web of Things. The results indicate that new web technologies like push notifications work well in the context of ubiquitous computing. Additionally, the repertory grid method was applied to evaluate how users experience the Web of Things. It was found that the prototypes were perceived as easy to use, personal and working instantly but the participants were also clearly aware of the dependency to a working smartphone.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / In this thesis, we aim at understanding how the discourse of and in the materiality of cinema works from what we define as (self)visualization of the subject in between places. For such, we ask ourselves about the subject present in the process of movie creation and visualization and try to understand how the relation between subject and process happens. Our research corpus is composed by the movies Maluco de Estrada II - Cultura de BR (2015) and Geração Bendita (1971), with which we performed 3 (three) discourse compositions in order to observe how memory works, through interdiscourse operation, of the paraphrastic process and the movement of subjects in their gestures to signify themselves. Among signifiers that extend to working in different conditions of production, subjects (re)signify themselves and keep the public space as point of conflict in the significant discourse materiality, also a place of sharing of the sensitive (RANCIÈRE, 2005 [2000]). Finally, it is relevant to mention that this study is based on Pêcheux s Discourse Analysis, which considers the conditions of discursivity production and how ideology and the unconscious act as founders for the developed analyses. / Nesta dissertação, visamos a compreender o funcionamento discursivo da e na materialidade fílmica a partir do que definimos como (auto)visualização de sujeito por entre-lugares. Para tanto, perguntamo-nos pelo sujeito presente no processo criação e visualização fílmica e procuramos entender como se dá a relação entre tal sujeito e esse processo. Nosso corpus de pesquisa compreende os filmes Maluco de Estrada II - Cultura de BR (2015) e Geração Bendita (1971), com os quais realizamos três (3) montagens discursivas com vistas a observar o funcionamento da memória, por meio do funcionamento interdiscursivo, do processo parafrástico e do movimento dos sujeitos em seus gestos de se significar. Entre significantes que deslizam para o funcionamento em outras condições de produção, os sujeitos (re)significam-se e fazem com que o espaço público mantenha-se como ponto de conflito na materialidade discursiva significante, lugar também de partilha do sensível (RANCIÈRE, 2005 [2000]). Por fim, cabe destacar que o presente trabalho fundamenta-se a partir da teoria da Análise de Discurso pecheutiana, a qual considera as condições de produção das dircursividades e o funcionamento da ideologia e do inconsciente como fundantes para as análises desenvolvidas.

Practices of sculpture and geography have collaborated ever since Stone Age humans hoisted up rocks to point them into the air. The ephemerality of life was rendered in a circle of forms and mass that celebrated the union of sky, earth and dwelling. Through the manipulation of stone, the land became a place, it became a home, it became situated and navigable. As millennia unfolded, the land was written with the story of itself. The creativity woven into the story of place is an evolution of material collaborations. In recent decades, academic geographers have explored the realms of creativity in their work, and sculptors have critically engaged with the nature of place. I have united these disciplines in the exploration of a truth of materials. The aim of the research was to investigate the relationship between making and place. The structure of my PhD focussed on the development of a transdisciplinary research environment that could host a range of creative practices around stone-working. I developed a long-term relationship with Trenoweth Dimension Granite Quarry, working as an apprentice sawman and mason. Here, I examined the everyday practices of labour and skill development, from which emerged deeper material and human interactions, that went on to inform my sculpture and modes of making. Arguing that granite has threads of relational agency embedded within its matrix, I initiated a series of practices that made use of my emerging knowledge as a granite-quarry worker, cast within experimental sculpture, texts, performance, photography and film. By formulating my methods around the vibrancy of matter, I disclosed new materialisms and more-than-human relations. This assemblage of documentation and artwork records and reflects on a series of practices and processes in tension. This productive tension arises from a re-rendering of artisanal practice as a research method; ushering in modes of representation as loops of experience and interpretation take place across different sites, spaces and times of mediation. The objective for the PhD research was to present a critically informed practice of sculpture-as-ethnography that could not only provide a model for practice-based research in general, but also significantly expand what might be meant by stone-work. This PhD by alternative submission is presented as a Commentary with an accompanying Digital Archive website.

Introduktion: Tidigare studier har visat att intressenters förväntningar på revisionen skiljer sig från revisorernas och att ett förväntningsgap existerar. Bland de tidigare studierna som behandlar förväntningsgapet är forskningen kring revisorns väsentlighetsbedömning ytterst begränsad. Vi har inte funnit någon tidigare forskning där fokus legat på att förklara intressenters upplevda kännedom och faktiska kunskap kring ämnet, varför en sådan studie kan anses relevant att genomföra. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att förklara intressenters upplevda kännedom och faktiska kunskap kring revisorers väsentlighetsbedömningar. Metod: Studien utgår från en kvantitativ forskningsstrategi och en deduktiv ansats. En tvärsnittsdesign har använts och empiri har samlats in från kreditgivare, ekonomichefer och ekonomistudenter med hjälp av en enkätundersökning. Slutsats: Studiens resultat visar att det finns faktorer som kan förklara intressenters upplevda kännedom och faktiska kunskap, men att dessa två skiljer sig åt. Den enda faktorn som visar ett samband med både kännedom och kunskap är erfarenhet inom revision. / Introduction: Previous studies has shown that expectations on audit differ between stakeholders and auditors, and that expectation gap exists. Among the previous studies examining the expectation gap, there’s limited research on auditors’ materiality judgements. We have not found any previous research whose focus have been on explaining stakeholders’ familiarity and knowledge regarding the subject, justifying the relevance for such a study. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explain stakeholders’ perceived familiarity and actual knowledge regarding auditors’ materiality judgments. Method: The study is based on a quantitative research design and a deductive approach. A cross-sectional design has been used and data from creditors, CFO’s and business students was gathered through a survey. Conclusion: The results show that there are some factors that can explain stakeholders’ perceived familiarity and actual knowledge, but it exists differences between them. The only factor that shows a relationship with both familiarity and knowledge is experience from audit.

Material Witness: Doris Salcedo's Practice as an Address on Political Violence through Materiality / History of Art and Architecture

Within the discipline of early childhood education research, the present study will focus on the Swedish preschool curriculum text, using a sociomaterial approach offered by Actor-network theory (ANT). The study adopts ethnographic methods, foremost participant observations in a preschool, to generate knowledge of how the curriculum text comes to act through moments in the everyday preschool work. The doctoral thesis consists of three research papers. Research paper I explores the delayed access to the field through the occurrence of a water leak. Through the focus on the value of breakdowns in ANT, the water leak becomes an empirical event where the researcher is allowed to learn about the mundane objects and practices making a preschool work, such as schedules and lists. Research paper II reports on the case of the curriculum concept of children´s interests (Moberg, 2017). Here, empirical moments are highlighted where the curriculum concept of children´s interests is defined and made to act by children and materialities. Finally, research paper III (Moberg, in press) reports on the case of an evaluation meeting where an evaluation text is to be produced. Here, the curriculum text is highlighted as vulnerable in its inability of embracing pedagogical dilemmas and ambivalence in the preschool everyday work. / <p>At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 1: Manuscript. Paper 3: Accepted.</p>
