Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as formas de relacionamento de adolescentes e jovens de famílias recompostas de camadas populares, filhos de união anterior da mãe, com quem moravam e que se encontrava em nova união, consensual ou formalizada. Procurou-se descrever e analisar as relações vividas pelos sujeitos com a mãe, com seu parceiro, com parentes de ambos, com o pai biológico, com parentes paternos, com irmãos consangüíneos, uterinos e agnáticos, e também com filhos de uniões da madrasta e do padrasto, seus quase-irmãos. Cabe destacar que os relacionamentos com esses diversos parentes não se restringem ao espaço da moradia. Como conseqüência dessa multiplicidade de novos vínculos, muitos deles sem termo específico para definir o parentesco, objetivou-se pesquisar os estatutos atribuídos aos diferentes integrantes dessas famílias. Além disso, investigou-se como ocorreu a prática socializatória dos sujeitos, incluindo as diversas pessoas que participaram mais ativamente desse processo. Para essa pesquisa, foram entrevistados 11 adolescentes e jovens de ambos os sexos, entre 14 e 20 anos, de dez famílias recompostas. A partir das transcrições das entrevistas, foi efetuada análise qualitativa dos dados, tendo como referência trabalhos nas áreas da Antropologia e da Psicologia. A análise objetivou apreender situações em comum, bem como diferenças entre elas, vividas pelos sujeitos em suas famílias, a fim de se descrever o conjunto de seus relacionamentos de forma mais integrada. Os dados foram contrapostos à literatura da área, a fim de levantar semelhanças e divergências com ela, e foram interpretados à luz dessas ferramentas teóricas. A análise dos relatos dos sujeitos aponta a centralidade da mãe nos arranjos familiares, indicando maior proximidade com ela. Devido a essa centralidade, os parentes maternos são os mais presentes no cotidiano dos sujeitos, em detrimento dos parentes paternos e do padrasto. Como esse não tem parentesco consangüíneo com os enteados, é considerado por eles como parente menos importante. Mesmo assim, a relação que o padrasto tem com a mãe dos enteados e o convívio cotidiano com eles tende a fazer com que, em alguns casos, ele seja visto \"como um pai\", especialmente quando participou da socialização dos sujeitos durante sua infância. Por sua vez, a relação dos sujeitos com vários tipos de irmãos apresenta um estatuto mais estável e claro. Quando meio e quase-irmãos moram na mesma casa e convivem por períodos relativamente longos, tendem a ser classificados como irmãos, da mesma forma que seus irmãos biológicos. Do conjunto da análise dos dados pode-se constatar a imensa complexidade dos relacionamentos nas famílias recompostas, a tensão entre parentesco consangüíneo e aquele socialmente criado e a extensão de formas de relações geradas pelas diferentes uniões de pais e padrastos e que se espraiam para além da unidade doméstica, constituindo verdadeiras constelações familiares. / This study aimed at analyzing the forms of relationship established by teenagers and youngsters in stepfamilies with their several relatives. The subjects have been born into a previous union of their mother and were presently living with her and her new partner, either formally married or not. Hence, it was attempted to describe the relationships these subjects experienced with the mother, her present partner, and relatives of both of them; with the biological father and his relatives; with their siblings, half-siblings and stepsiblings, either children of their stepfather or stepmother. Once these relationships were not restricted to the household space, they involved a wide range of relatives, many of them without a term to define the kin ties. In order to keep track of this multiple new bounds, the identities and roles conferred to these diverse characters were also investigated. Lastly, the socialization practices of the subjects were also analyzed, also related to the people that took part in this process. For this research, 11 teenagers and youngsters of both sexes, at the age band between 14 and 20 years old, of 10 stepfamilies of low-income classes of Ribeirão Preto-SP, Brazil, were interviewed. The transcripts of these interviews were analyzed through the standpoint of Anthropology and Psychology. The analysis aimed at apprehending recurring themes in their speeches, as well as particularities in the subjects\' experiences of relationships with relatives. These data were compared with the literature on the issue, in order to trace similarities and divergences, and were also interpreted through these theoretical tools. The analysis on the subjects\' reports pointed towards the centrality of the mother in the family life and indicated that they presented greater intimacy with her. Due to this centrality, the maternal relatives were also more present in the everyday life of the subjects, if compared to the paternal or the stepfather\'s ones. Because the latter does not bear blood ties with his stepchildren, he is prone to be considered a less important relative by them. However, despite this evaluation, due to the relation the stepfather had with the subjects\' mother and to their everyday living together, he may eventually be considered to be \"just like a father\", especially if he has participated in the socialization of the subjects. Related to their several siblings (blood, half and step ones), the subjects tended to confer a more steady and clear role to them. When half and stepsiblings lived in the same house for relatively long periods of time, they tended to consider each other as brothers and sisters, the same way as among blood siblings. From the set of the data analysis, it was possible to perceive the great complexity of relationships among stepfamilies, the tension between blood kinship and the socially established one, and the extension of family relations beyond the household limits due to the different unions established by parents and stepparents, which end up constituting the so-called family constellations.

In order to carry out the study, we have started from Freudian considerations regarding the father, proceeding to Lacan s propositions on the father s mission and arriving to the meaning of what we have designated with the term demission.It stands for the decline of operational possibilities to exercise the symbolic paternal function, as a result of nowadays social bond characteristics. Therefore, talking about father demission is not rigorously the same as talking about the decline of paternal function. It actually is about realizing that the father s role as athird cannot be done without social support, which in our time is crossed by a discourse that cannot but to contradict such role, being, however, indispensible to subjective constitution.We intend to demonstrate how does father demission put in evidencenew forms of subjective constitution that, thus, result in the primacy of the body in certain types of embodied phenomena.Aiming to promote a productive discussion on these new symptoms, we haveused Freud s and Lacan s conceptions of body symptoms, or at least symptoms subject to be inscribed in the body.Finally, we have built our considerations towardsthe tacit and causal linkage that, in our comprehension, unites father demission and some contemporary symptomsin which the body is highlighted. We have also brought attention to the structure of the term father (de)mission, which have allowed us to maintain the idea of an operational paternal function, even when the conditions for it are not so favorable / O presente trabalho é fruto de uma pesquisa de natureza teórica que teve como objetivo investigar a possível relação entre o que chamamos de demissão paterna e certos sintomas corporais que se tornaram frequentes na contemporaneidade. Para a realização do trabalho, partimos das considerações freudianas a respeito do pai e, avançando pelas proposições de Lacan a respeito da missão paterna, pudemos chegar ao sentido a ser dado ao que designamos com o termo demissão. Este designa o declínio das possibilidades operativas de exercício da função simbólica do pai como o resultado das características do laço social da atualidade. Por implicação, falar em demissão paterna não é rigorosamente a mesma coisa que falar em declínio da função paterna. Trata-se antes de perceber que o trabalho do pai como terceiro singular não se faz sem o respaldo do social, que em nossa época é tecido por um discurso que não pode senão contradizer este trabalho, no entanto indispensável à constituição subjetiva. Pretendemos demonstrar de que modo a demissão paterna põe em evidência novas formas de constituição subjetiva que, por sua vez, resultam na primazia do corpo e em determinados tipos de fenômenos corporais. Com o intuito de fomentar uma discussão proveitosa a respeito destes novos sintomas, resgatamos das obras de Freud e Lacan a concepção sustentada pelos autores a respeito dos sintomas corporais, ou pelo menos dos sintomas passíveis de inscrição no corpo. Por fim, tecemos nossas considerações a respeito do vínculo tácito e causal que, no nosso entendimento, une a demissão paterna a certos sintomas da atualidade onde o corpo aparece em primeiro plano. Abordamos ainda a grafia (de)missão paterna, que nos permitiu transmitir a ideia segundo a qual a função paterna se mantém operante, ainda que as condições já não sejam tão favoráveis

This diploma work is focused on the situation of fathers on parental leave in the Czech Republic. The aim of research is to find out how fathers feel on their parental leave, what is positive or negative for them and how they evaluate this experience. The theoretical part describes the legislative framework of parental leave and parental allowance and explains the concepts such as femininity, masculinity, maternity and paternity. Then I deal with gender stereotypes and situation on the labour market, and their influences on the decision for starting parental leave. Then I formulate arguments for more father's participation in taking care of children. The empirical part is focused on a qualitative research. The research was realized by interviews done with 10 fathers on parental leaves, and analyzed by coding. Then I made a connection between new data and theoretical resources which are described in the first part. At the end I indicate the posibility of doins some other research, for example with both parents.

Studien har som syfte att undersöka vilka faktorer fastighetsmäklare anser påverka valet att ta ut pappaledighet och vilken roll organisationskulturen har i detta. Målet med studien är att svara på följande frågor:●Vilka faktorer anger pappor i fastighetsmäklarbranschen som avgörande för valet att ta ut pappaledighet?●Vilken roll spelar organisationskulturen?Studiens resultat har baserats på sex kvalitativa, semistrukturerade, intervjuer med fastighetsmäklare som antingen ska, är eller har varit pappalediga. Som teoretiskt ramverk användes främst Scheins tre nivåer av organisationskultur samt vetenskapliga publikationer som kopplade organisationskultur med pappaledighet och föräldraledighet. Resultatet visar på att inslag i organisationskulturen i mäklarbranschen är ett hinder som behöver hanteras för att främja jämställdhet på arbetsplatsen gällande föräldraledighet. Det krävs fördjupade studier sett till vilka åtgärder mäklarföretag bör vidta för att påverka förväntningarna kring mäklarnas ständiga tillgänglighet och att förändra bilden av idealmäklaren. / The purpose of this study is to examine which factors real estate agents consider to influence them in the choice of taking paternity leave and what role organizational culture has. The aim of the study is to answer following questions:●Which factors fathers specify within the real estate brokerage industry as crucial in the choice of taking paternity leave?●What role does organizational culture play?The result of the study is based on six qualitative, semi-structured interviews with brokers who either will, are, or have been on paternity leave. As theoretical framework Schein's three levels of organizational culture was mainly used followed by scientific publications that linked organizational culture with paternity leave and parental leave. The result show that organizational culture within the real estate brokerage industry is an obstacle that needs to be developed to encourage equality regarding parental leave in the workplace. In-depth studies seems required as to what actions real estate companies need to take to influence broker’s constant availability and change the image of the ideal broker.

[pt] Na composição familiar, o papel do pai foi um dos que mais se transformou ao longo dos últimos anos. Nesta dissertação, propomos uma investigação acerca das mudanças pelas quais passaram e ainda passam os homens e pais na pós-modernidade. Para tanto, nos servimos do arcabouço teórico da Psicologia Analítica de C. G. Jung. Dentro desta linha teórica, destacamos principalmente os arquétipos masculinos e o arquétipo do pai, os quais muitas vezes se confundem, bem como suas manifestações diferenciadas nos dias de hoje. De modo análogo, ponderamos os estatutos da persona e da sombra no pai da modernidade e no pai da atualidade. A ideia de pai já existia de forma inconsciente antes do entendimento da paternidade física. A paternidade, entendida como uma invenção social, é uma atribuição específica do homem, enquanto a maternidade é específica da mulher. Foi necessário fazer o contraponto entre masculino e feminino, entre patriarcado e matriarcado, assim como paternidade e maternidade, pois tais temas se mostram profundamente entrelaçados. Além disso, recorremos à mitologia e aos rituais descritos em estudos antropológicos para auxiliar no entendimento da antiguidade destas questões. Haja vista a ocorrência de uma relativização dos arquétipos masculinos na cultura atual, propomos a discussão do conceito de novo pai e se este poderia ser considerado como um novo símbolo do masculino no campo da paternidade. / [en] In family composition, the role of the father was one of the most has been transformed over the past few years. In this dissertation, we propose an investigation into the changes that have gone and still go men and fathers in postmodernity. In order to do this, we took the theoretical framework of the Analytical Psychology of C.G. Jung. Within this theoretical line, we include mainly masculine archetypes and archetype of the father, which often overlap, as well as their different manifestations today. Similarly, we ponder the statutes of the persona and the shadow of his father and the father of modernity today. The idea of father has existed before unconsciously understanding of physical paternity. Fatherhood, understood as a social invention is a specific allocation of man, while maternity is specific of the woman. It was necessary to make the contrast between masculine and feminine, between patriarchy and matriarchy, between fatherhood and motherhood, because such issues are deeply intertwined show. Furthermore, we resort to the mythology and rituals described by the anthropological studies to facilitate the understanding of ancient studies of these issues. Given the occurrence of a relativization of masculine archetypes in the current culture, we propose to discuss the concept of new father and whether this could be considered as a new symbol of the masculine in the field of fatherhood.

<p>Alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) have been described across taxa numerous times, and are especially common in fishes. The advent of molecular techniques has enhanced our understanding of such mating systems, yet these techniques have only been applied to relatively few species. Furthermore, ecological variation has long since been recognized as an important factor influencing mating patterns and sexual selection, yet it is often ignored. In my thesis, I conducted field studies to investigate the reproductive ecology of a species with well characterized ARTs, the plainfin midshipman (<em>Porichthys notatus</em>), and to explore how these mating patterns varied across time and space. This species is characterized by two male tactics: guarders and sneakers. I show that both tactics are successful at gaining fertilization. Indeed, I found evidence for several behavioural adaptations by the guarder male tactic to gain fitness, including guarding, nest takeovers, and plastic cuckoldry behaviours. I also documented the lowest paternity for guarder males for a species with obligate male parental care. Paternity increased over the course of the breeding season, which was likely a result of a higher occurrence of nest takeovers early in the season. In a cross-population analysis of plainfin midshipman, I found significant differences in nest availability and density between two genetically distinct populations, but this did not translate into significant differences in mating patterns. Taken together, my thesis helps elucidate the reproductive ecology of a classic species with ARTs, and has important implications for our understanding of ecological influences on mating patterns and sexual selection.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Legal Proceeding of Establishing and Disputing Parentage The topic of this thesis is the legal proceedings of establishing or disputing parentage. The aim of the thesis is to provide complex description and analysis of current framework of the proceedings for establishing or disputing parentage in relation to the substantive measures, point out problematic areas and weak spots of the legislation and provide possible solutions de lege ferenda. The text is divided into eight chapters. First chapter deals with the term "parentage" from various perspectives - biological, social, legal and the link between them, mainly with the case law of the Supreme Court, Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights in mind. Second chapter provides the historical evolution of the legal framework for establishing and disputing parentage, going all the way back to the ancient Rome, Austrian Civil Code, the Family Law Code and the Family Code, to the present, where the civil law underwent re-codification and the whole area of family law has been included within the new Civil Code. The third chapter is devoted to the analysis of the substantive measures regarding the establishing and disputing of parentage as described in the Civil Code, because the substantive measures and procedural measures are closely...

Depuis les débuts de la deuxième vague féministe, la participation quasi-universelle des femmes au marché du travail a causé la perte, pour les pères de famille, du rôle de pourvoyeur exclusif que ces derniers avaient tenu depuis si longtemps. Les femmes hétérosexuelles de la société contemporaine sont dorénavant plus scolarisées et atteignent des carrières plus avancées que leurs contreparties masculines. Alors que les femmes soutiennent davantage la famille par leurs emplois, les hommes doivent proportionnellement assumer des rôles plus actifs et participatifs à la maison. En cette période de transition, de transformation et de redéfinition rapides des rôles genrés à l’intérieur de l’économie familiale hétérosexuelle, les pères participent de manière plus équitable à l’éducation des enfants et à l’entretien du domicile, ces rôles ayant longtemps été attribués presque exclusivement aux femmes. Ces nouvelles responsabilités détonnent avec les représentations stéréotypées des hommes dans la culture populaire, ainsi qu’avec les modèles d’identification de la masculinité normative que les hommes ont requis et requièrent toujours sous l’égide de l’hétérosexualité imposée. De ce fait, les hommes occidentaux de moins de cinquante ans se trouvent souvent à cheval entre deux mondes d’exigences concurrentes. La place que peuvent et doivent prendre les pères au sein de leurs familles requiert un questionnement critique. L’ironie de la place du père peut être comprise comme la tension entre les normes du genre rétrogrades ou conservatrices et les exigences – à la fois politiques et pragmatiques – de la masculinité de la classe moyenne contemporaine. Cette tension fondamentale et structurante de la masculinité contemporaine est vécue par l’anxiété d’association au genre, ainsi qu’à travers des difficultés filiales, paternelles et intergénérationnelles. Ce mémoire de maîtrise adopte une approche déconstructiviste envers l’analyse de constructions contemporaines de la masculinité reproductive. À travers les gender studies, la théorie queer ainsi que la psychanalyse, le mémoire offre des lectures analytiques du discours de croissance personnelle de John Stoltenberg, de la fiction autobiographique de Karl Ove Knausgaard, ainsi que de la série télévisée américaine Dexter. / Since the onset of second-wave feminism, the nearly universal participation of women in the labour market has loosened fathers’ grip on the role of exclusive household provider that they had held for so long. Increasingly, heterosexual women in contemporary society have higher levels of education and more advanced careers than their male partners; in direct proportion as women are breadwinners, men are required to assume more active, participatory domestic roles. In this time of rapid transition, transformation, and redefinition of gender roles within the heterosexual domestic economy, fathers participate more equitably in raising children and homemaking, roles that historically and culturally had long been assigned exclusively to women. These new responsibilities sit uneasily with popular culture’s stereotypical representation of men, and with identificatory models of normative masculinity that men have required under the auspices of compulsory heterosexuality. Consequently, western men younger than fifty often find themselves straddling two worlds of competing imperatives. The place that fathers can and must take in their families requires a critical inquiry. The irony of the father’s place can be understood as the tension between retrograde or conservative gender norms and the demands – both political and pragmatic – of contemporary middle-class masculinity. This underlying, structuring tension of contemporary masculinity is experienced in gender alignment anxiety, along with filial, paternal, and inter-generational difficulties. This thesis adopts a deconstructionist approach to the analysis of contemporary constructions of reproductive masculinity. Working among gender studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis, it offers analytical readings of the ‘self-help’ discourses of John Stoltenberg, the fictional autobiography of Karl Ove Knausgaard, and the American television series, Dexter.
