As análises centram-se preponderantemente nos territórios da pobreza. Este trabalho realiza uma análise da violência através do significado que jovens de classe média, autores de ato infracional, imprimem ao fenômeno. A ampliação do entendimento da violência remete-se à análise de suas verdadeiras raízes, ancoradas na sociedade capitalista e nas transformações politicoeconômicas e socioculturais decorrentes da globalização que gestam uma nova forma de sociabilidade pautada no individualismo e no esvaziamento da alteridade. Através de uma abordagem qualitativa que utiliza como técnica de análise dos dados a análise de conteúdo de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, a pesquisa empírica foi realizada com sete jovens de classe média, entre 16 e 21 anos, que cumpriram medidas socioeducativas em meio aberto (Liberdade Assistida e Prestação de Serviços à Comunidade) junto à Vara de Infância e Juventude de Vitória ES. A análise dos conteúdos colhidos foi realizada no interior de quatro eixos temáticos: juventude; família; estudo, trabalho, projeto para o futuro e violência, sendo que, na complementaridade entre os temas, buscouse extrair as mediações presentes iluminadoras do significado da violência. Ao estudarmos a violência, enquanto expressão objetiva e subjetiva, não só protagonizada por jovens das classes populares, mas também por jovens de classes sociais favorecidas, percebemos características de sua condição juvenil que os unifica e os expõe aos conflitos históricos surgidos na sociedade contemporânea. De outra parte, o estudo demonstra que a condição de classe do jovem repercute enfática e distintamente no desenho de seu lugar social. Diante do encolhimento do público, a privatização das soluções pela família, no interior de recursos e capacidades díspares, definirá e consolidará sua trajetória

O estudo parte do pressuposto de que a família vem se modificando e que novos arranjos familiares estão sendo formados. Tem por objetivo uma breve compreensão do funcionamento e a estruturação das redes sociais de suporte das famílias formadas por mulheres separadas ou divorciadas chefes de família, com a presença apenas da díade materna. Entendemos que após a separação do casal, estas famílias obrigatoriamente teria que se reestruturar. O presente trabalho foi divido em cinco capítulos, sendo os dois primeiros teóricos e os três últimos referentes à metodologia e apresentação dos dados da pesquisa. A partir dos resultados obtidos pudemos verificar a importância da família externa (parentes da mãe e do pai) funcionando como rede social de suporte, surgindo como ponto de apoio emocional, social e financeiro. Ficando evidenciada a necessidade de se conhecer esta parte da população para a elaboração de projetos de apoio e atenção à família de camada média urbana / Abstract: The purpose of this research work is to analyze the Brazilian contemporanean family, especially the section of the population formed by middle class women who are responsible to provide for their families. The starting point of this study is the fact that the contemporanean family has been considerably changing and that new family arrangements are being formed due to this process. The goal of this study is to achieve, although briefly, a comprehension of the formation of supportive social nets for those families raised by separated/divorced women, which present mother-children relationship only. It is our understanding that after the couple separation, those families have necessarily to be restructured. This research work is present in 5 chapters: the first 2 deal with theoretical aspects of the study and the 3 remaining chapters focus on method and research data. From the results obtained, we were able to verify that the external family (the mother and father¿s relatives) functions as a supporting social net, playing the role of emotional, social and financial helper. This study highlights the importance of acquiring further information on the section of the population of, middle class family raising women and their families so that support and care policies toward them may be put into pratice / Mestrado / Educação, Sociedade, Politica e Cultura / Mestre em Educação

A vacinação é uma das medidas de maior impacto na diminuição da morbimortalidade de doenças. No entanto, sua história é marcada por êxitos e contratempos. No contexto brasileiro, a vacinação se afirmou como premissa do cuidado infantil, extrapolando a perspectiva médica e alcançando a população geral. Em contraponto, desde os anos 2000, foi observada uma diminuição da cobertura vacinal infantil em estratos de alta renda e escolaridade em São Paulo-SP, segmento social que valoriza a individualidade e a autonomia dos sujeitos. Esse estudo tem por objetivo compreender o processo de (não) vacinação dos filhos e sua interface com o cuidado infantil, em casais de camada média e alta escolaridade em São Paulo/SP. Foi utilizada a abordagem qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas em profundidade com dezesseis casais, dos quais cinco vacinaram, cinco selecionaram as vacinas e seis não vacinaram os filhos. O percurso analíticointerpretativo dos dados empíricos foi realizado pelo referencial metodológico da antropologia interpretativa geertziana com o recurso da análise de conteúdo temático e os achados foram discutidos em articulação com os referenciais teóricos interrelacionados de cuidado, família e gênero. O estudo encontrou diferenças significativas quanto à tomada de decisão dos casais, variando de uma postura de aceitação plena a uma questionadora, porém, todos eles convergiram nos aspectos de buscar argumentação científica e orientação médica para suas escolhas. O contexto do parto humanizado e as informações sobre vacina, sobretudo da internet, foram os principais elementos que deflagraram a problematização da vacina, com destaque ao protagonismo feminino nesse percurso. Apesar das diferentes concepções acerca da vacinação, para todos os casais, a escolha por vacinar ou não o filho baseou-se no mesmo sentimento de cuidado parental e valores de proteção e responsabilidade. A vacinação assumiu significado de proteção para os que vacinaram e risco para os que não vacinaram. As justificativas pela não vacinação se assemelharam às da literatura internacional. As decisões sobre vacinação e saúde no âmbito privado familiar foram majoritariamente apropriadas pelas mulheres, a despeito de evidências de uma maior participação dos homens nos afazeres domésticos e no cuidado filial. Os casais que não vacinaram relataram sentimento de medo diante da possibilidade de perda da autonomia nas decisões sobre a saúde de seus filhos. A defesa dessa autonomia, porém, não foi estendida a toda população. Todos os casais participantes, independentemente da postura quanto à vacinação, tomaram suas decisões norteadas por uma perspectiva individual, não sendo mencionada a função coletiva da imunização. A compreensão da aceitabilidade das vacinas na sua interface com o cuidado infantil, no contexto das camadas médias de São Paulo, remete a uma reflexão sobre a interação sociedade e práticas de saúde e ressalta a importância que o cuidado, no tocante à vacinação, é uma questão que extrapola o âmbito individual, pois diz respeito a uma responsabilidade que também é coletiva / Vaccination is one of the measures of greatest impact in reducing the morbiditymortality of diseases. However, its history is scarred by successes and setbacks. In the Brazilian context, vaccination consolidated itself as the premise of child care, exceeding the medical perspective and reaching out the population in general. In contrast, it has been observed since the 2000s, a diminishing of infant immunization coverage in highincome strata and education in São Paulo-SP, a social segment that values the individuality and autonomy of individuals. This study aims to understand the process of (not) vaccination of children by couples in middle and high schooling level in São Paulo-SP, and its interface with child care. A qualitative approach through in-depth interviews with sixteen couples was employed. Among them: 05 vaccinated their children, 05 selected the vaccines and 06 did not vaccinate their children. The analytical and interpretative path of empirical data was performed by methodological framework of geertzian interpretative anthropology, with the use of thematic content analysis, and the findings were discussed in conjunction with the interrelated theoretical frameworks of care, family and gender. The study found significant differences concerning the decision making process of the couples, ranging from a position of full acceptance to questioning the vaccination itself, however, all of them converged on aspects of seeking scientific argumentation and medical advice to guide their choices. The context of humanized childbirth and information on vaccine, mostly from the internet, were the main elements that triggered the questioning of the vaccine, particularly the female role in this pathway. Despite distinct views about vaccination, for all couples, the choice to vaccinate or not the child was based on the same sense of parental care, protection values and responsibility. Vaccination assumed a meaning of protection for those who vaccinated and a risk for those who did not vaccinate. The reasons for the nonvaccination were similar to those reported in the literature. Decisions about vaccination and health in the family scope were mostly appropriated by women, despite evidences of a greater participation of men in the housework and child care. Couples who did not vaccinate reported a sense of fear under losing the autonomy of taking decisions on their children`s health. The defense of this autonomy, however, did not reach the entire population. All attendant couples, regardless of vaccination stance, made their decisions guided by an individual perspective, not mentioning the collective function of immunization. Understanding the acceptability of vaccines and its interface with child care in the context of the middle class of São Paulo, points to a reflectance on the relationship between society and health practices and emphasizes the importance that care, with regard to vaccination, is a question that goes beyond the individual scope, as it relates to a responsibility which is also collective

Este trabalho procura estabelecer a relação entre a vida nas grandes cidades do Sudeste brasileiro, notadamente no Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, com a prática e a transmissão do saber culinário ao longo do século XX. O momento de formação da classe média brasileira, a oferta de bens de consumo relacionados à modernidade como o fogão a gás, os aparelhos eletrodomésticos e também os alimentos industrializados, somados ao papel atribuído às mulheres na nova ordem social urbana, criaram uma ruptura no modo como as receitas culinárias eram preparadas e transmitidas. Esta ruptura foi seguida de um novo padrão culinário, que por sua vez afetou os valores e a simbologia que permeiam o ato de cozinhar. / This work seeks to establish the relationship between life in the big cities of the Brazilian Southeast, particularly in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and the practice as well as the way culinary knowledge was shared during the 20th century. The moment of formation of the Brazilian middle class, the availability of consumer goods related to modernity, e.g. the gas stove, appliances and industrialized foods, combined with the role attributed to women in the new urban social order, created a rupture in the way culinary recipes were prepared and passed down from one generation to another. This rupture was followed by a new culinary pattern, which in turn affected the values and the symbology comprised in the cooking act.

A coleta de dados é do período de 2013 a 2015. Para isto traça a trajetória de vida, os momentos simbólicos e os marcadores da ascensão social, a partir da construção da autoimagem dos personagens, relatos, observação participativa e convivência com 11 famílias, da cidade de Juiz de Fora, estado de Minas Gerais. O estudo parte do pressuposto teórico de que os bens operam como marcadores sociais e constituem uma linguagem capaz de revelar e comunicar o estilo de vida destas famílias, apesar da diversidade de estilos contemporâneos. O consumo é, portanto, indicador e a parte aparente, visível da ascensão social, que trouxe uma série de mudanças no estilo de vida e na forma como estes atores lidam com esta nova realidade, no mercado de trabalho, na família, na escola e nas trocas com as outras classes. / This research investigates the lifestyle, consumer habits and symbolic use of the goods of a new middle slice of Brazilian society identified as a new middle class, representing a universe of individuals who could ascend socially by increasing economic and cultural capital, from 2001 to 2014. Data collection is from 2013 to 2015. For this period traces the trajectory of life, symbolic moments and markers of social mobility, from the construction of self-image of the characters, stories, observation participatory and living with 11 families in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais state. The study of the theoretical assumption that assets operate as social markers and constitute a language able to reveal and communicate the lifestyle of these families, despite the diversity of contemporary styles. Consumption is therefore indicator and visible part, visible from social mobility, which brought a lot of changes in lifestyle and in the way these actors deal with this new reality, the labor market, the family, school and in trade with the other classes.

Este estudo versa sobre os negros das camadas médias paulistanas. Analisa a identidade de classe a partir da autoclassificação e do modo como o conceito de classes sociais é construído pelos interlocutores. A intenção é instituir uma analogia com as categorias elaboradas pelos cientistas sociais. Examina o estilo de vida, utilizando como referência o consumo material e simbólico. Desta forma, busca a especificidade do grupo em relação a gostos e preferências. Problematiza a questão da identidade racial a começar pela auto-identificação quanto à raça e classe, além de analisar quais são os fatores utilizados como referência para a construção da idéia de pertencimento étnico. Investiga as representações sociais dos negros de classe média, isto é, busca compreender como estes percebem a sociedade, a imagem que fazem de si mesmos e como julgam ser avaliados pela sociedade global. / This study is about São Paulos black middle class population. It seeks to analyse class identity from the subjects point of view: focusing, in the one hand, on the way in which the subjects classify themselves and, on the other, on how the class concept is formulated by them, drawing an analogy between this concept and those conceived by social scientists. In order to realise this aim, this study examines the blacks lifestyle, using their material and symbolic consumption as a reference. Along with this analysis, the study also questions the racial identity, as experimented by the subjects, considering both the subjects racial and social self classification and the factors used as a reference to the idea of being part of an ethnic group. This study investigates the black middle class social representation, that is to say, it seeks to understand how this population perceive their society, what is the image the blacks have of themselves and, according to their opinion, which is the opinion the encompassing society have upon them.

Café Culture is an ethnographic snapshot, taken in 2008, tracing the effects of globalisation from the perspective of young middle class urbanites in post-liberalisation Pune, India. It captures what was happening that sets this young generation apart – the first to grow up in post-liberalisation India – as a group in historical time, in relation to other life worlds in India, to 'Western' versions and as a rounded life world in itself. In 1991 India conclusively opened its economy to the global market economy. My ethnography shows that trends following economic liberalisation in unprecedented ways spurred changes that were already underway. It facilitated not only the emergence of a commodified leisure culture in the form of cafés, targeted at and appropriated by the young urban middle class, but also the creation of new fashions, more living space, national and international employment, mobility and economic independence. These tangible changes went hand in hand with transformations in practices and moral aesthetic standards. The young generation was challenging their parents' and wider society's values in order to negotiate who they wanted and felt they ought to be in their rapidly changing world. In their friendships, café culture activities, fashion choices, education and love lives they increasingly valued, encouraged and expected equality, freedom and the expression of individuality. However, the different chapters highlight that these trends were measured and limited by class- and generation-based practices and moral aesthetic standards which amended rather than negated older patriarchal arrangements predicated on the ideal of joint family life. The young café culture crowd was negotiating to follow their hearts, while preserving strong family bonds and inter-generational dependencies. They were thus modifying what it meant to be middle class Indians in our contemporary world of flow of people, capital, ideas, images, information and goods.

This study examines the impact of globalization and religious nationalism on the personal and professional lives of urban Hindu middle class media women. The research demonstrates how newly strengthened forces of globalization and Hindutva shape Indian womanhood. The research rests on various data that reveal how Indian women interpret and negotiate constructed identities. The study seeks to give voice to the objectified by scrutinizing and challenging the stereotypical modern faces of Indian womanhood seen in the narratives of globalization and Hindutva. Feminist open-ended interviewing was conducted in English and Hindi in New Delhi, the capital of India, with 23 Hindu women, employed by electronic and print media corporations. Accumulated data were analyzed and interpreted using feminist critical discourse analysis. Findings from the study indicate that while the Indian middle class women have embraced professional opportunities presented by globalization, they remain circumscribed by mutating gender politics. The research also finds that as academic and professional progress empower the women within their homes, their public lives have become fraught with increasing gender violence and decreasing recourse to justice. Therefore, women accept the power stratification of their lives as being dependent on spatial and temporal distinctions, and have learnt to engage and strategize with the public environment for physical safety and personal-professional progress. While the media women see systemic masculine domination as being symbiotic with tenets of religious nationalism, they exhibit an unquestioned embracing of capitalism/globalization as the means of empowerment. My research also strongly indicates the importance of the media’s role in shaping gender dynamics in a global context. In conclusion, my research shows the mediawomen’s immense agency in pursuing academic and professional careers while being aware of deeply ingrained gender roles through their strong commitment towards their families. The findings of this study contribute to the literature on Third World nationalism, urban globalization and understandings of reworked-renewed masculine domination. Finally, the study also engages with recent scholarship on the Indian middle class (See Nanda 2010; Shenoy 2009; Lukose 2005; and Radhakrishnan 2006) while simultaneously addressing the notions of privilege and disengagement levied at the middle class woman, a symbiosis of idealization and imprisonment.

The thesis portrays the British white-collar worker in relation to four domains of analysis: the workplace, the trade union, the class system, and political life. Its empirical findings derive from in-depth interviews with 134 "staff employees of Midland Products", a large manufacturing corporation in Nottingham. At Midland, the broad evocation "the rise of white-collar work" obscures the cleavage in non-manual job types between light clerical positions and better-paid, highly-ranked, and supervisory positions. It also obscures a cleavage among the staff employees between women, who are more satisfied at work and less interested in promotion, and men, who are relatively dissatisfied and more ambitious. Moreover, men dominate the better, and women the most junior and poorest-paid jobs at the company. Nevertheless, women are much less likely than men voluntarily to affiliate with trade unions. Women are also more hostile to the power unions hold in British society. Midland's modal trade unionist is male, order, suggestively more senior in the hierarchy, but unlikely to subscribe to unionism's high principles. The staff employees are sharply divided by class identity; just 52% self-classifying as middle class. "Many believe themselves, and on the conventional measure are, upwardly mobile. But a middle or working class identity is a poor guide to staff employee views on workplace and social issues. Nor does it reflect the profound occupational inequalities they experience at the company. Most staff employees identify with and vote for the Conservative party. The Tory coalition includes virtually all those raised in Conservative homes, together with many raised by Liberals and Labourites. Inter-party migration is especially common among the sons and daughters of manually-employed Labourites who are subjectively mobile. Yet 30% of Midland's staff employees are Labourites, which is an important barrier to the normative coherence of the stratum. Owing primarily to the growth of non-manual Labourites, the outlook is for even more fragmentation in Britain's new middle class. Coupled with analogous changes in the industrial working class, the power of "the class dynamic" may be much attenuated in the 1980s. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

This thesis is written from the perspective of cultural sociology and focuses on middle-class parents and justification of their child-rearing decisions. It describes how parents choose and evaluate the institutions their children spend time at, how they "other" parents with different values and how they relate to concerted cultivation - a type of parenting style which currently dominates the middle-class context. This parenting style (or ideal) puts a great deal of pressure on middle-class parents and it causes a symbolic war among them: a war for acknowledgment and a certain position in the cultural space. This thesis describes who the participants "other", which child-rearing strategies participants approve of, what values are crucial for them and what problems they deal with. Furthermore, four main differences between the participants' approach and the concerted cultivation approach were identified: emphasis on friendship, emphasis on balance between activities and rest, emphasis on fitting in with the majority and emphasis on approval of certain authoritarian methods such as imposing punishments, applying restrictions and issuing directives.
