Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka pedagogers relation till barns fria lek i förskolan, utifrån ett makt- och styrningsperspektiv. För att kunna få syn på detta har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ studie med observationer som metodval. Under våra observationer har vi tagit hjälp av ett observationsschema för att se hur pedagogerna agerar under barnens fria lek och vilka tekniker som eventuellt används för att styra barnen till och från olika lekar. Studien har genomförts på två förskolor i två olika kommuner, där barn i åldrarna tre-fem år har befunnit sig. Utifrån studiens syfte har ett resultat synliggjorts, där fyra kategorier vuxit fram baserat på olika tekniker pedagogerna styr barnen i deras fria lek. Kategorierna är pedagoginitierad lek,reglering mot önskvärd lek, disciplinerande teknik och inne- och uteslutande teknik. Ofta upptäckte pedagogerna lärandepotentialen i barnens lekar och leken blev således riktad åt det hållet. En del av barnens lekar avbröts relativt omgående för att de antingen upplevdes för högljudda eller rörliga, eller i förebyggande syfte för att minska konflikter. / <p>Godkännandedatum: 2016-06-05</p>

Recherche sur l'existence d'une culture stratégique typiquement occidentale, européenne et américaine, culture qui trouverait l'un de ses fondements dans les représentations des combattants dans la pensée stratégique depuis la Renaissance

In this dissertation I consider the question, "Is it possible to think the subject qua subject or must any theoretical attempt to understand the subject necessarily reify it?" To answer this question, I appealed to Immanuel Kant's distinction between theoretical and practical reason, noting that practical reason could think the subject as a free soul rather than as a naturally-determined object. I then divided the sciences of the subject into four general types to determine which science could think the subject qua subject. Three sciences were shown to necessarily reify the subject: empirical psychology, rational psychology, and heteronomous ethics. I then paralleled Kant's insight with Michel Foucault's analyses of the human sciences, showing the concrete consequences of objectification. Using Foucault's work on ethical practice and askesis as a guide, I returned to Kant and explained how practical reason can think the subject qua subject only insofar as it considers the subject as something to be made rather than a theoretical object to know. I then posed the question, “What are the necessary conditions for someone to be a subject of possible experience?” which led into a Kantian-inspired theory of love and intersubjectivity. Finally, I concluded that contemporary psychology is mired in an impasse between happiness and freedom, insofar as therapeutic practice is no longer an ethic. I suggest the need for a practical psychology to solve this impasse. / McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts; / Philosophy / PhD; / Dissertation;

Master of Arts / Department of English / Gregory J. Eiselein / The presence and persistence of ethnicity in Sri Lanka has led scholars such as Jayadeva Uyangoda to describe Sri Lanka as an “ethnocracy” and is identified as one of the major challenges for attempts to reconcile communities after a 26-year-long civil war that ended in 2009. The emphasis on ethnicity, however, often makes it difficult for scholars to examine the discontinuities that have shaped the emergence of ethnicity as the most significant social category in the country. This thesis addresses this lacuna by providing a careful re-reading of the conditions under which ethnicity became the focus of both politics and epistemology at the turn of the 20th century in colonial Ceylon. Michel Foucault’s conceptualization of governmentality enables this examination by demonstrating how ethnicity became the terrain on which political rationalities and governmental technologies were deployed in order to shift how populations were constructed as the focus of colonial governance between 1901 and 1911. Colonial political rationalities are explored through an examination of the debate that emerged in the Census reports of P. Arunachalam (1902) and E.B. Denham (1912) over whether Ceylon is constituted by many nationalities or by one nationality—the Sinhalese—and many races. The emergence of this debate also coincided with the Crewe-McCallum Reforms of 1912 which aimed to reform the colonial state in response to the demands of the local population. Like the debate between Arunachalam and Denham, what is at stake in the reforms of 1912 is the question of whether the Island is constituted by many racial populations or a single population. The terms of these debates over ethnicity that took place over a century ago, continue to shape the tenor of Sri Lanka’s post-war political landscape and therefore provides a pathway for understanding how Sri Lanka’s post-war challenges are imbricated in the dilemmas of inhabiting its colonial present(s).

Nesse ponto, será a obra de Nietzsche, no recorte que lida com a temática do pecado, chamada a oferecer uma breve contribuição. Das novas formas de poder pastoral, em Foucault, até alcançar o tema do racismo de Estado, serão abordadas as doutrinas da razão de estado e da polícia, a história da verdade no âmbito das práticas judiciárias, o panoptismo e a origem da pena de prisão. Como ponto final, o tema do racismo associado à figura do inimigo – dará suporte a aproximações entre a filosofia foucaultiana e problemas contemporâneos como a violência, a suspensão de direitos de determinados grupos sociais, o recrudescimento das penas e das estruturas e instituições de vigilância e controle social / The presente paper will face some main concepts inserted in the philosophical work of Michel Foucault, such as power, sovereignty, discipline, surveillance, in the way to improve the analysis to what referes to the governing art. At this point, a specific scene of Nietzschean´s philosophy, in wich the theme of the sin takes place, will be added as a brief contribution. Between the new forms of the priest´s power, in Foucault, and the theme of State racism, other subjects will be approached, like the doctrine of State reason, the doctrine of police, the history of truth in the judicial practices, the panopticon, and the origens of the prison penalty. The final issue will face the theme of racism, wich will give support, in association to the notion of enemy, to the dialogue between the mentioned concepts of the foucaultian philosophy and some contemporary issues, connected to subjects such as violence, suspension of rights (from determinated social groups), reinforcement of penaltys, structures and institu

Books and reading are important elements in cultural policy. On 1 January 2002 VAT on books and magazines was reduced from 25 per cent to 6 per cent. The purpose was to increase reading in all sections of the population. A special Book Price Commission was appointed to follow and examine price trends and to work for an enhancement of reading in all groups of the Swedish population. But what form of reading are the BPC talking about?With a theoretical point of departure in the theory of power and discourse by Michel Foucault the aim of this thesis is to explore if there is an existing discourse about reading and, if so, how this discourse is operating in the BPC reports. A chapter on the history of reading is also included. When studying how the history of reading is described and then analyzing the material that was published by the Book Price Commission under the years of 2002-2005 it becomes clear that the discourse of reading includes certain forms of reading and excludes (or devalues) other forms of reading. One way that the discourse is operating in is by connecting the concept of reading with values like democracy and both personal and social change. The BPC material can thus be seen as producing and reproducing the dominating discourse of reading, one form of reading that values the reading of printed books higher than other forms of reading. / Uppsatsnivå: D

By talking Foucault?s critical deconstruction of the ?repressive hypothesis? as a starting point, we can see as evidente the production of subjetivity mechanisms articulated by the construction of knowledge and power relations, which establishes the categorization of the individual in specific sexual identities. We analyze how sexuality becomes na instrumento f na anatomo-politics of the human body, as well as a biopolitics of the species, procedures of power put into practice towards the shape and controlo f individuals and the society itself. Considering Foucault?s Works on the constitution of the moral subject in the practices of greek and roman antiquity, this study takes the ?techniques of the self?as a way of creating as ?aesthetics of existence?. This dissertation applies, at last, to think such na intente as a possibility of exercising the ethical freedom as way of resistance to the forms of gevernamentality as wellas to the processes of subjectification and construction of identity in the field of sexuality. / A presente disserta??o traz como tem?tica os estudos de Foucault acerca da sexualidade enquanto instrumento no processo de subjetiva??o dos indiv?duos, considerando as possibilidades de resist?ncia ?s formas de normaliza??o das identidades sexuais. Partindo da desconstru??o cr?tica operada por Foucault em rela??o ? ?hip?tese repressiva?, evidenciam-se os mecanismos de produ??o de subjetividade articulados pela din?mica de constru??o de saberes e rela??es de poder, que estabelece a categoriza??o dos indiv?duos em identidades sexuais espec?ficas. Analisa-se como a sexualidade torna-se instrumento tanto de uma an?tomo-pol?tica do corpo, como de uma biopol?tica da esp?cie, procedimentos de poder postos em pr?tica para a formata??o e controle dos indiv?duos e da pr?pria sociedade. Considerando os trabalhos de Foucault sobre a constitui??o do sujeito moral nas pr?ticas da antiguidade grega e romana, a pesquisa aborda as ?t?cnicas de si? como forma de cria??o de uma ?est?tica da exist?ncia?. A disserta??o dedica-se, por fim, a pensar tal proposta como possibilidade de exerc?cio da liberdade ?tica enquanto forma de resist?ncia, tanto ?s formas de governamentalidade, como aos processos de subjetiva??o e constru??o de identidade presentes no campo da sexualidade.
