Material goods play an important role in ethical life and moral education. Judging which goods are preferable to which − and which are therefore worth pursuing over which − is an ethically crucial process. The currently dominant paradigms of moral education (virtue education, cognitive developmentalism and care theory) do not satisfactorily contribute to this important topic. I argue that the resultant lacuna may be resolved by attending to the insight of the classical Stoics and their modern day neo-Stoic interpreters. Stoicism, I argue, provides a unique set of philosophical resources that fosters critical deliberation and reflection regarding the attribution of value to material goods. I begin this study by detailing the extant lacuna via discussion of virtue education, cognitive developmentalism and care theory as they relate to material good education. Once the lacuna’s existence is established I move on to introduce Stoic philosophy (both classical and contemporary). From this philosophy I construct a moral educational framework. This framework is then applied to two topics related to the material good lacuna: consumer education and environmental education. I conclude that, while Stoicism must be softened and revised for a modern pedagogical audience, its core philosophy has much to offer moral educationalists. / Theoretical, Cultural, and International Studies in Education

Durante la I Guerra Mundial Cuba exporta azúcar a precios altos e importa gran cantidad de bienes materiales, servicios y prácticas. Para la élite de la república poscolonial, esta coyuntura significa la oportunidad de acelerar la realización de la utopía de bienestar y confort presente en las expectativas del cambio de siglo y dominación. La Independencia debía conducir a la civilización, a los tiempos modernos, a una redefinición de la identidad. La república -liberación de las fuerzas productivas- pareció el marco o medio adecuado para alcanzar la nueva meta. Numerosos cambios acontecieron antes de 1920, teniendo La Habana como único escenario. Pero la ruta oligárquica no condujo a la modernidad, sino a la construcción de un complejo simulacro moderno. Un espacio hedonista marcado por un tiempo circular, nuevas tensiones y la acumulación de una peligrosa melancolía revolucionaria. Este desenlace sin conclusión configura los laberintos de la cultura insular del siglo XX. / During the World War I Cuba exports sugar at high prices and imports large quantities of material goods, services and practices. For the post-colonial elite, this situation means the opportunity to accelerate the utopia of well-being and comfort present in the expectations of what the new century and change in domination would bring about. Independence should lead to civilization, to modern times, to a redefinition of identity. The republic-liberation of a productive forces-seemed to provide the appropiated framework to achieve the new goal. Numerous changes occurred before 1920, taking Havana as the sole scenario. But the oligarchic path led not to modernity, but the construction of a complex appereance of modernity: a hedonistic space marked by circular time, new tensions, and the rising of a dangerous revolutionary melancholy. The inconclusive outcome shapes the intrincate labyrinths of the insular culture of the twentieth century.

By listening to the voice of the children themselves, this study aimed to analyze how social relationships influence Tweens’ consumption of goods and brands. In order to achieve the general objective, we identified (1) how the context of consumption and interpersonal relationships influence the consumption of goods by Tweens, (2) how do relationships with peers are affected by the symbolic and functional aspects related to appropriation of goods and brands (3) how they deal with “not having”, in front of groups and in their individuality, and (4) how parents guide their consumption. For this we adopted a methodology of qualitative, exploratory characteristics, through in-depth interviews with the children and their family (mother or grandmother). The interviews with the children were initially developed through the e-collage technique, which served as guiding for the conduction the interviews. The collected data was analyzed by the use of content analysis technique. The results indicate that the Tweens are influenced by the market environment, parents and peers in different levels according to the categories of products. It was found that material goods facilitate interaction in groups while the charge for to have the "right" property can generate constraints affecting the status, self-esteem and self-concept. It also identified that the mothers caring for their children to have socially appropriate goods, with the concern that they do not have problems in their social relationships. / As crianças estão cada vez mais inseridas em relações de consumo, nesse contexto, os Tweens (crianças de 7 a 12 anos) despontam como um público cobiçado pelo mercado, pois são consumidores ávidos. Nesse contexto essas crianças podem ser vulneráveis ao consumo por estarem em uma fase liminar (fase de transição) entre infância e adolescência e por tanto podem supervalorizar o status proporcionado pelo consumo. Ao ouvir a própria voz das crianças, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar como as relações sociais influenciam o consumo de bens e marcas desses Tweens. Para atingir o objetivo geral identificou-se (1) como o contexto do consumo e as relações interpessoais influenciam o consumo de bens dos Tweens, (2) como as relações com os pares são afetadas pelos aspectos simbólicos e funcionais relacionados à apropriação de bens e marcas, (3) como eles lidam com o “não ter” perante os grupos e em sua individualidade e (4) como os pais orientam o seu consumo. Para tal adotou-se uma metodologia de caráter qualitativa e exploratória por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com as crianças e com suas responsáveis (mães ou avó). As entrevistas com as crianças foram desenvolvidas em duas etapas, inicialmente foi utilizada a técnica projetiva de e-colagem, na qual foram produzidos painéis de imagens digitais, que serviu como guia para conduzir as entrevistas que foram conduzidas por um roteiro semi-estruturado. Os dados coletados foram analisados pela técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que os Tweens são influenciados pelo contexto do mercado, pais e pares de acordo com as categorias dos produtos em diferentes níveis. Identificou-se que os bens materiais podem facilitar a interação das crianças nos grupos ao mesmo tempo em que a cobrança em ter os bens “corretos” pode gerar constrangimentos entre eles afetando sua autoestima, o autoconceito e como o status de cada um nos grupos. Identificou-se também que as mães se esforçam para que seus filhos tenham bens socialmente adequados, com a preocupação de que eles não venham a sofrer discriminação ou qualquer tipo de problemas em suas relações sociais com os pares.
