Orientador: Lilian Aparecida Ferreira / Banca: Elaine Prodócimo / Banca: Fernanda Rossi / Resumo: O desenvolvimento de processos educativos que tematizem o preconceito e a exclusão passa, sobretudo, pela mobilização e mudança dos valores incorporados pelas crianças, adolescentes e jovens. Neste sentido, a narrativa oral circunscreveu o início deste processo com o propósito de dar visibilidade às histórias sobre preconceito e exclusão vividas e observadas pelos alunos. O cenário das práticas corporais, particularmente as atividades desenvolvidas em um específico projeto social, está repleto de situações de interação entre os alunos e, portanto, carregado de desafios relacionais. Sob este ponto de vista, este estudo buscou analisar o processo de construção de narrativas e de histórias em quadrinhos acerca das práticas corporais por alunos de um projeto social, bem como, identificar e analisar as experiências relacionadas aos preconceitos e aos processos de exclusão vividos ou observados por parte desses alunos. Articulado a esta pesquisa, foi construído um material didático intitulado Orientações para a Elaboração de Narrativas e Histórias em Quadrinhos com a Temática Preconceito e Exclusão nas Práticas Corporais com Crianças e Adolescentes. A metodologia, assentada na pesquisa qualitativa, se constituiu por uma pesquisa-ação. As técnicas de coleta dos dados envolveram: observações das atividades realizadas, registradas em notas de campo; narrativas orais e histórias em quadrinhos produzidas pelas crianças, adolescentes e jovens do projeto social. As narrativas orais foram...

In this sense, the oral narrative circumscribed the beginning of this process with the purpose of give visibility of the stories about prejudice and exclusion lived and observed by students. The scenario of corporal practices, particularly the activities developed in a specific social project, is full of situations of interaction between students and, therefore, loaded with relational challenges. From this point of view, this study sought to analyze the process of construction of narratives and comic strips about corporal practices by students of a social project, as well as, identify and analyze the experiences related to prejudice and exclusion processes lived or observed by these students. The methodology, based on qualitative research it was constituted by an action research. The techniques of data collection involved: the obervations of the activities carried out, registered in field note; the oral narratives and the comic strips produced by children, adolescents, and young people of social project. The oral narratives were recorded and transcript by the researcher, after this process, the students turned them into comic strips. The study included 37 children from 6 to 12 years old and eight adolescents and yong people from 13 to 17 years old. In total of 15 narratives were collected, 9 narratives of the children and 6 narratives of the adolescents and young people of the social project. Based on the idea of constructing categories of analysis, it was possible to organize three of them: 1. The narratives and comic strips: analysis of two educational processes. 2. Reflections on prejudice and situations of exclusions of exclusion in corporal practices. 3. Experiences in educational processes... (Complete abstract electronic access below) / Mestre

Thesis (DTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / The introduction of water service programmes has significantly improved the delivery of Water and Sanitation Services to marginalised communities in Kenya. Since the implementation of the Kenya Water Act of 2002, enacted policies have resulted in communal ablution blocks and water kiosks in some of the more densely populated settlements. In the development of service provision programmes to improve access to water and sanitation, the social and cultural implications have yet to be addressed. To better understand the partnerships between the marginalised community and the political agencies that ensure improved allocation of resources, community participation should be addressed in the emerging water governance. The right to water is a key clause in the new constitution of Kenya and although this is a laudable recognition of citizens’ rights to basic services, this constitutional clause is yet to be fully implemented. The exclusion of social practices followed by marginalised communities results in limits in the promotion and implemention water and sanitation projects. The resulting lack of water and sanitation services decreases the internal capacities of community members and inhibits development. A natural and finite resource such as water, often taken for granted by most, is the foundation to improved places in a community. These places reflect social relations within the given society and provide a platform for interaction. When this engagement occurs, meaning in both physical and social boundaries between different communities that emerge, can help assert agency to marginalised groups. While a programme is used to define a space by regulating through building codes and standards, a community’s role is validated by the inclusiveness of the design process. Therefore the resultant project allows for a sense of agency to be built, while boosting interaction through learning programmes, to improve civic duties in the society. These aspects are crucial for development and can be achieved using allocation of basic services like water and sanitation. Grounded Theory is used to analyse the interviews from the respondents and it concerns itself with the meanings attributed to steps within processes. This approach is applicable when meanings attributed to macro-level explanations and micro-level activities need to be uncovered. The interviews conducted for this study are analysed line-by-line coding and memo writing. The data is used as a narrative of distinct processes in both marginalised communities and political agencies. Using the model of an agent the study illustrates the process of agency that highlights the role of marginalised communities in participatory approches toward equitable access to water and sanitaion services. The cases approached in this study further articulate the processes used by political agencies to engage in community participatory approaches. Though these participatory approaches were seen to be more inclusive than previous service delivery approaches, gaps emerged in the study that are addressed in the relationship matrix. This model distinguishes the differences in the production of space through Water and Sanitation Service programs, and the creation of place in implemented projects. By aligning these two aspects of the production of space when applied to marginalised settings helps in understanding the context prior to the implementation of WSS development programmes. This recognition of the role that marginalised communities play in socioeconomic development can improve programmes and projects aimed at providing water and sanitation services. This access is important to marginalised groups which are disadvantaged, because of a difference in their practices. By understanding the social practices around the use, management and safeguarding of water and sanitation projects, community members can begin to attach cultural value to their water resources. This has implications for the sustainability of the projects and their replicability. Therefore social practices, and by extension culture, influence the concept and design of programmes to enable access to water and sanitation resources, especially to marginalised groups in society.

A presente pesquisa tem por escopo analisar os fundamentos dos direitos territoriais quilombolas na localidade de Palmas-PR: as dificuldades e expectativas quanto à sua efetivação. Assim, inicia-se o estudo com uma incursão à historiografia tradicional para buscar os principais elementos da formação social brasileira, ao mesmo tempo em que procura insular-se da noção idealizada de quilombo pautada em elementos históricoarqueológicos. Já com o advento da Constituição de 1988, previsão dos direitos territoriais quilombolas, ocorre a evolução do conceito de quilombo a partir de elementos antropológicos capazes de abranger a sua dinamicidade como fenômeno social. A partir da demonstração do que pode significar a concretização de tais direitos para o quilombo de Palmas-PR, emergem as diferentes dimensões assumidas pela relação dos quilombolas com o seu território e com o trabalho tradicional, além dos obstáculos encontrados. Assim, os direitos territoriais são frutos do campo das disputas políticas que ao buscar reparar as injustiças da escravidão e da excludente sociedade do trabalho livre; trazem visibilidade para os quilombolas, reforçam a sua luta e criam possibilidades, seja na arena de disputas jurídicas, seja na arena de disputas políticas. / This research has as the main scope to study the fundamentals Maroons territorial rights in Palmas-PR: their issues and their expectations. The study begins through traditional Brazilian historiography elements and the Brazilian social formation, to avoid using the idealized concept of “quilombo”, based in historical and archaeological elements. In the Brazilian National Constitution of 1988, there is an evolution of the concept of “quilombo” with anthropological elements, to become able to comprehend its dynamics as a social phenomenon. After the meanings demonstration of these rights for the Maroons from Palmas- PR, emerge the differents dimensions by the Maroons with its territory and its traditional work. However the structural formation of Brazilian society; the territorial maroons rights are answering to the slavery injustices and social exclusion from the free work society. Theses rights bring visibility to the Maroons, strengthen their cause and create possibilities rather in the legal issues, rather in the political issues. / 5000
