O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a implantação da Operação Urbana Consorciada Água Branca, localizada no distrito da Barra Funda, bem como a produção da lei que a regulamenta. Observou-se em campo e em pesquisas a órgãos ligados à Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo que houve o direcionamento de recursos públicos para o fomento de atividades econômicas em detrimento de demandas sociais na área de estudo. Nossas categorias de análise foram o território usado e a norma, que utilizamos para compreender a construção de uma lei que visa à transformação dos usos do território de passado industrial e que agora incidem propostas de adensamento habitacional e de uso comercial. A produção normativa contou com a participação da sociedade civil, com destaque aos moradores da região e dos promotores imobiliários, mediados pelo Poder Público municipal, caracterizando, assim, um caso de pluralismo jurídico. Por meio das audiências públicas e de entrevistas realizadas com os vereadores, representantes dos moradores da área de estudo e do mercado imobiliário, verificou-se a conflituosa relação entre os diferentes setores da sociedade civil. Desta forma, a norma jurídica, criada em 2013, reflete os desejos e necessidades do uso do território do período atual no município de São Paulo evidenciando as práticas sociais vigentes e as especificidades do distrito da Barra Funda / The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the implementation of the Joint Urban Operation Agua Branca, located in the Barra Funda district; as well as the creation of the law that governs it. It was observed in the field and research, in this area of study, which was done with bodies linked to the Municipality of São Paulo that public resources were directed to the promotion of economic activities to the detriment of social demands. Our categories of analysis were: the used territory, and the standard, and were used to understand and help in the creation of a law aimed at the transformation of the use of the territory of an industrial past which is now proposed for housing and commercial use. The normative creation also took into consideration the participation of civil society, especially local residents and property developers, mediated by the municipal government, thus characterizing a case of legal pluralism. Through public hearings and interviews with councilors, representatives of the residents of the studied area and the real estate market, it was verified a conflicting relationship between the different sectors of civil society. Thus, the normative (rule of law), created in 2013 , reflects the desires and needs of the use of the territory of the current period (nowadays) São Paulo highlighting current social practices and the specifics of the Barra Funda district

Para tanto, investigamos, de início, como os Cursilhos de Cristandade, em seu ramo que se opõe à Teologia da Libertação, berço dos primórdios apaqueanos, influenciaram na perspectiva religiosa apregoada pela instituição até os dias de hoje. Após, apresentamos um breve histórico do discurso da APAC, enfatizando a sistematização do método nos escritos mais recentes de seu fundador, Mário Ottoboni. Balizado esse viés discursivo (primeira parte), passamos a discorrer sobre os resultados da nossa pesquisa de campo acerca de dois eixos basilares, que nos permitiram uma melhor compreensão do nosso objeto. Trata-se, de plano, da noção de conversão moralizante – a conversão pessoal do preso dá azo às suas mudanças de comportamento –, bem como da verificação de como o quadro de afloramento da religiosidade dinamiza o pluralismo religioso na APAC. / This dissertation analyzes the religiosity in method APAC and allocates as one of the mechanismis utilized in the recovery of prisoners. For this, we investigated, initially, as the Cursillo of Christianity, in their field that opposes to Liberation Theology, origin of the early of APAC, influence in religious perspective proclaimed to institution until the present day. After, we show a concise history of the discourse of APAC, emphasizing the sistematization of the method in more recent writings of its founder, Mário Ottoboni. Delimited this bias discursive (first part), we discuss the results of our field research on two basics axles, which allowed us a better understanding of our object. This refers, in the plan, of the notion of moralizing conversion – the prisioner’s personal conversion gives rise to their behavior changes – as well as the verification of how the frame of outcrop of the religiosity dinamizes the religious pluralism in APAC.

Partimos do pressuposto de que a pensadora alemã compreende a esfera política a partir de conceitos mundanos como pluralidade, persuasão e imparcialidade. A investigação discorrerá sobre a posição ocupada por estes conceitos na constituição da esfera política arendtiana: postos no mundo como experiências históricas paradigmáticas, propiciaram o surgimento de uma esfera política a partir do fato de que homens vivem e agem em comum. Particularmente, nos interessa a compreensão arendtiana do lugar ocupado pelo conceito de imparcialidade na realização de uma esfera política orientada para a pluralidade e o significado de sua exigência quando se trata de trazer a público as ações humanas, bem como seus resultados. As principais reivindicações deste trabalho são: para Arendt o mundo se constitui como o resultado da pluralidade humana em meio a uma teia de relações; nesta teia, a imparcialidade não ocorre dissociada da liberdade individual de manifestar os próprios pontos de vista e opiniões, sob risco de uma parcela do mundo se perder no esquecimento. A vida pública implica a disposição de submeter as próprias opiniões, mesmo as tidas como as mais verdadeiras, ao exame dos outros na esfera pública e plural, isto é, submeter as certezas ao modelo do parece-me-que / Abstract: This work aims to investigate some central concepts of Hannah Arendt's work. We assume that the German thinker understands the political sphere from worldly concepts such as plurality, persuasion and impartiality. The investigation will discuss the position occupied by these concepts in the Arendtian constitution of the political sphere: they were put in the world as paradigmatic historical experiences and they provide the basis of a political sphere from the fact that men live and act in common. In particular, we are interested in the Arendtian comprehension of the role played by the concept of impartiality in the realization of a political sphere orientated by the plurality and in the meanings of its requirements when it comes to bring to the public human actions as well as their results. The main demands of this work are: for Arendt the world is constituted as the result of human plurality in the midst of a web of relationships. In this web, impartiality is not dissociated from the individual freedom to express one own views and opinions, under the risk of part of the world being lost in oblivion. The public life implies a willingness to submit one's own opinions, even those regarded as the truest, to the examination of others in the public sphere and plural, i.e., submitting the certainties to the seems to me that model / Doutorado / Filosofia / Doutor em Filosofia

[pt] O presente trabalho pretende compreender as origens e os fundamentos do ativismo jurisdicional do Supremo Tribunal Federal, que tem sido intensificada desde a Emenda Constitucional 45/ 2004. Relacionando-o ao contexto das tensões entre constitucionalismo e democracia, ficou demonstrando que a consolidação de um constitucionalismo democrático, que levou à expansão do poder judicial de maneira global, apresenta peculariedades no caso brasileiro, cujo processo historiográfico ainda revela a existência de estruturas arcaicas e o desenvolvimento de uma constitucionalização simbólica. A partir dessa análise histórica e teórica, é mostrado como no Brasil, em vez de um movimento ativista de reforço de direitos humanos pelo STF, a própria corte alarga seus limites jurisdicionais. Reconhece-se que a judicialização de relações sociais e políticas trouxe o judiciário para a cena democrática, mas se discute a legitimidade de se substituir a legislação pela jurisdição no papel de decidir questões morais de uma sociedade. Com base em teorias jurídicas contemporâneas, explicita-se porque há descrença na dignidade da legislação e uma preferência pela hegemonia judicial. Argumentos em favor da exclusividade ou superioridade do Judiciário em questões constitucionais são testados. Ademais, enfatiza-se que a democracia envolve conflito e que o direito pode oferecer uma arquitetura constitucional de interação entre os órgãos estatais sem menosprezar o papel da política na construção da realidade. / [en] This work aims to understand the origins and grounds of Supremo Tribunal Federal´s jurisdictional activism, that has been increased since Emenda Constitucional 45/2004. By relating it with the context of tensions between constitutionalism and democracy, it has been demonstrated that the consolidation of a democratic constitutionalism, which has taken to the global expansion of judicial power, has special features in Brazil, whose historiography process still reveals the existence of archaichs frameworks and the development of a symbolic constitutionalization. From this historical and theoretical analysis, it is showed how in Brazil, instead of taking place an activist movement of strengthening human rights by STF, the court itself extends its jurisdictional limits. It is acknowledged that the judicialization of social and political relations brought the judiciary to democratic scene, but it is discussed the legitimacy by replacing legislation for jurisdiction in the role of deciding moral issues from a society. Based in contemporary law theories, it is explained why there is a disbelief in the dignity of legislation and a preference for the judicial hegemony. There have been tested arguments in favor for the exclusiveness or the superiority of the Judiciary in constitutional issues. Furthermore, it is emphasized that democracy involves conflict and that law can offer a constitutional architecture of interaction between state departments without despising the politics´ role in building the reality.

Universities in South Africa have emerged from an exceptionally fragmented and divided past and are responding to this by reconceptualising and restructuring their institutional governance structures. This is been done through the introduction of policies and strategies aimed at transforming institutional landscapes and creating environments that are conducive to meeting the demands and pressures of a transformed SA. Previous studies have indicated that there is a need for institutional transformation and change at newly merged universities in SA. However, very little is known about the possible role the arts could play in institutional change and transformation processes and what Badat refers to, when referencing the process of institutional transformation, as “the dissolution of existing social relations and institutions, policies and practices, and their re-creation and consolidation into something substantially new” (2009:456). The goal of this research study is to explore the views, opinions and perceptions of key stakeholders and decision-makers at a comprehensive South African university, in this case, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU), in order to gain their insights into the role the arts could play in creating and consolidating a transformative institutional culture at a merged university in SA. The data was obtained from semi-structured interviews with 16 key decision-makers and stakeholders at NMMU. Based on the thematic data analysis, the responses from these key stakeholders indicate that there is wide support for the arts to play a role in the establishment of a transformative institutional culture and it appears that not only should the arts play a role, they should play a central role.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The accidents caused by poisonous animals are a serious public health problem, especially in tropical countries because of its wide distribution and its ability to promote clinical conditions that may progress to the death. In this sense deepen the knowledge about poisonous animals and disseminate information through the use of a teaching strategy called Didactic Pluralism consisting in the use of various methodological resources to meet all students and not a portion of them may be the way to education on venomous animals. Therefore this research has as main objective investigate how the educational pluralism can be worked at the classroom, with a proposal to assist students in learning about poisonous animals and accident prevention. The research was developed on Elementary School Almiro Beltrame, located in the Rural Area of the Boca do Monte district in the city of Santa Maria, at the central region of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil, from October 2014 to July 2015. The instruments of data collection were: conversation with audio recording, video, script and practice class logbook developed by the researcher. By the analyzed qualitatively of the activities that make up this research and the results showed that the teaching of venomous animals was favored by educational pluralism. Thus, the students in addition to the personal care, may become multipliers of information for families and others close to them, leading to a likely decline in the number of accidents by preventing and understanding of the ecological importance of venomous animals. Therefore we hope that this research will contribute to the area of science education and to the inclusion of these teaching methods in the teaching practice. / Os acidentes causados por animais peçonhentos constituem grave problema de saúde pública, sobretudo em países tropicais, devido sua ampla distribuição e sua capacidade de promover quadros clínicos que podem evoluir a óbito. Nesse sentido, aprofundar o conhecimento sobre animais peçonhentos e difundir as informações através da utilização de uma estratégia didática denominada Pluralismo Didático que consiste na utilização de vários recursos metodológicos para atender a todos os alunos, e não a uma parcela deles, pode ser o caminho para o ensino sobre animais peçonhentos. Sendo assim, esta pesquisa apresenta como objetivo principal investigar como o pluralismo didático pode ser trabalhado em sala de aula, sendo uma proposta que auxilie os alunos no ensino sobre animais peçonhentos e prevenção de acidentes. A pesquisa desenvolveu-se na Escola Estadual de Ensino Fundamental Almiro Beltrame, localizada na Zona Rural do distrito de Boca do Monte, no município de Santa Maria, região central do estado do Rio Grande do Sul - Brasil, no período de outubro de 2014 a julho de 2015. Os instrumentos de coletas de dados foram os seguintes: rodas de conversa com gravação de áudio, filmagem, roteiro de aula prática e diário de bordo desenvolvido pelo pesquisador. Analisou-se de forma qualitativa as atividades que compõem essa pesquisa e os resultados obtidos evidenciaram que o ensino sobre animais peçonhentos foi favorecido pelo pluralismo didático. Assim, os alunos além do cuidado pessoal, poderão se tornar multiplicadores de informações para as famílias e outras pessoas de seu convívio, levando a provável diminuição do número de acidentes através da prevenção e compreensão sobre a importância ecológica dos animais peçonhentos. Esperamos, portanto, que este trabalho possa contribuir para a área de Ensino de Ciências, bem como para a inserção destas metodologias de ensino na prática docente.

[pt] Paul Karl Feyerabend é geralmente conhecido como o filósofo da ciência contrário à idéia de um método científico único, à racionalidade e à ciência enquanto conhecimento privilegiado. Defendendo o anarquismo epistemológico, Feyerabend afirmou que, em se tratando de regras metodológicas para a ciência, a única regra possível é tudo vale. Por entendermos que essa imagem é excessivamente simplificadora da epistemologia proposta por Feyerabend, pretendemos mostrar que este filósofo foi muito mais um ardoroso crítico da uniformidade e defensor da diversidade quanto às formas de conhecimento e visões de mundo, do que um opositor da ciência per se. Sob esse enfoque, a obra feyerabendiana ocupa uma posição diferenciada no debate sobre a racionalidade ou não da ciência, uma vez que sua abordagem vai além das propostas irracionalistas relativistas que afirmam a influência de fatores não racionais no desenvolvimento do conhecimento dito científico. Nesta pesquisa, daremos ênfase às teses feyerabendianas que trazem um alerta quanto à falta de crítica aos cânones científicos - Objetividade, Razão e Verdade - enquanto legitimadores da primazia da ciência sobre outras formas de conhecimento. Além disso, iremos discutir as conseqüências indesejáveis que a ausência dessa crítica traz, não apenas no âmbito da filosofia da ciência como também ao desenvolvimento desse conhecimento e, principalmente, à realização da individualidade, da liberdade e das potencialidades humanas. / [en] Paul Karl Feyerabend is generally known as the philosopher of science against the idea of a unique scientific method, rationality and the view that science is a privileged form of knowledge. He proposed and defended epistemological anarchism and argued that, regarding scientific methodological rules, the only possible rule is anything goes. Since we consider this general image a simplification of Feyerabend´s epistemology, we intend to show that this philosopher was much more a critic of uniformity and a defender of diversity, when it comes to different forms of knowledge and worldviews, than an opponent of science per se. From this point of view, Feyerabend´s writings occupy a special standing in the rationality of science debate, since his approach goes beyond the irrationalist relativist positions that state the influence of irrational factors in the development of so called scientific knowledge. In this research, we shall emphasize those feyerabendian arguments that constitute an alert towards the lack of a critical attitude regarding scientific standards - Objectivity, Reason and Truth - as providers of a legitimate privilege of science in relation to other forms of knowledge. In addition, we shall also discuss the undesirable consequences of this lack of criticism not only within the philosophy of science but also for the development of scientific knowledge itself and, over all, for the accomplishment of individuality, of liberty and of the human potential.

M.Ed. / The end of apartheid also marked the end of a segregated schooling system in South Africa and the new challenge of orientating learners to interact across cultural barriers, in keeping with the Constitution’s promotion of respect for diverse cultures. The Learning Area of Life Orientation, introduced to schools under the new dispensation, provides a real opportunity for them to promote cultural diversity within the classroom. In this investigation, the researcher used qualitative research methods to explore how learners at a primary school perceived cultural diversity. Interviews were conducted to explore their views on interactions across cultural groups and the way cultural diversity could be promoted in the classroom through Life Orientation as a Learning Area. Learners were also observed in the classroom and on the playground. The findings indicate that ethnicity is still a defining factor in schools and that learners often confused race and culture. Learners demonstrated an awareness of difference within their school, which they grouped according to race rather than culture. They indicated that their interactions with different groups resulted in both negative and positive experiences, with differences in languages emerging as the most commonly recognised. They also believed that the majority of their teachers were actively promoting a respect for cultural diversity. However, observations of learners revealed that they preferred to group themselves according to gender rather than culture or race, and while most groups were exclusively male or exclusively female all but three contained a mixture of cultural groups. Learners also proposed a variety of suggestions as to how cultural diversity could be promoted in the Life Orientation class room. From the findings it is clear that the Life Orientation Learning Area offers a realistic opportunity to promote cultural diversity in schools. There also appears to be a need to create an awareness of the difference between race and culture, so that learners can move beyond the narrow confines of apartheid classifications. If learners and teachers are encouraged to promote a respect for cultural diversity at school level, it must eventually permeate societal thinking.

D.Phil. / Being Kenyan means belonging to a number of levels, the national, the local, one’s tribe or ethnic group and supra-state. It means living in a world beyond the Kenyan nation in which absolutism, whether of the ethnic or national civic state, is no longer operative. While encouraging Kenyans to regionalize and globalize, the state in Kenya has also simultaneously sought to construct a nation and develop among Kenyans a sense of national identity. State pronouncements point out that Kenyans need to strengthen their self-identity in the midst of growing globalization and regionalization. They suggest that Kenya needs to teach History in schools to produce a new breed of citizens, imbued with a new vision, characterized by the Kenyan personality, that is individuals who are driven by a deep sense of patriotism and nationalism that transcends ethnic and traditional ties. To achieve this purpose, History teachers must enable students to apply historical knowledge to the analysis of contemporary issues and to deploy the appropriate skills of critical thinking. They teachers need to develop a critical pedagogy in which knowledge, habits, and skills of critical citizenship are taught and learnt. The study adopted a basic interpretive qualitative research design to understand the strategies that the teachers used to develop the attitudes and skills of critical thinking that enable learners to transcend their ethnic and national ties when thinking about issues that are Kenyan. Classroom observations and interviews were employed. The study involved seven provincial secondary schools situated in the Nairobi Province, Kenya. The finding is that to learn history, learners should not be simply inducted into an already existing identity. They have to be assisted to engage in open-ended debates over the nature of this identity as a way of introducing them to historical thinking that links the teaching and learning of history with its disciplined inquiry and core values and make it possible for them to understand their national identity part of a Kenyan culture that is interconnected with others at regional and global levels.

In the late eighteenth century, a Qing-centered, pluralistic legal order emerged in the Tibetan regions of the Qing empire. In the Gansu borderlands known to Tibetans as "Amdo," the Qing state established subprefectures to administer indigenous populations and prepare them for integration into the empire. In the 1790s, the Qianlong emperor asserted the dynasty's sovereignty in central Tibet and embarked on a program to reform the Tibetan government. This dissertation examines the nineteenth-century legacy of these policies from the twin perspectives of the indigenous people of the region and the officials dispatched to manage them. On the basis of Manchu and Tibetan-language sources, Part One argues that the exercise of Qing sovereignty in central Tibet was connected to the Qianlong court's desire to monopolize indigenous arts of divination, especially as they related to the identification of prominent reincarnations. The Qing court exported a Ming-era bureaucratic technology--a lottery, and repurposed it as a divination technology--the Golden Urn. The successful implementation of this new ritual, however, hinged on the astute use of legal cases and the intervention of Tibetan Buddhist elites, who found a home for the Urn within indigenous traditions. / East Asian Languages and Civilizations
