The primary objective of this thesis is to conduct a comparative analysis of Sweden'slegislation, that criminalizes the purchase of sexual services, with Finland's laws thatdistinguish prostitution from human trafficking and prohibit the purchase of sexual services ifthe customer is aware of or ought to have suspected that the prostitute is a victim of humantrafficking. The study aims to identify and examine the core differences between these laws and how they reflect distinct views on prostitution and women, and the extent to which they are aligned with gender equality. The study employs a liberal sex work perspective which regards prostitution as a form of work that can be separated from the individual's body and aneo-abolitionist perspective that views prostitution, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a harmful and exploitative practice that oppresses women. The study employs a most-similardesign and ideological analysis to address the research questions. The results reveal the legislations' role in promoting gender equality as part of a broader feminist struggle against patriarchal structures. Sweden's law addresses gender inequality by identifying prostitution as a manifestation of male violence against women, while Finland's law targets exploitation insex trafficking, maintaining gender equality by protecting those most vulnerable inprostitution.

[pt] O objetivo da dissertação é analisar criticamente o uso do conceito do Antropoceno pela linha crítica de teoria das Relações Internacionais. Isso se faz com um foco específico na origem do conceito em Ciência do Sistema Terrestre (CST), e através de uma discussão geral sobre autoridade científica atribuída à ciência moderna e suas conexões com práticas de world-making, entendidas especificamente como cosmologias científicas, e em relação com mobilização de propostas na política internacional. Nesse sentido, a discussão explora a construção de CST e propõe a formulação do Antropoceno como relacionada com os comprometimentos políticos dessa disciplina – a partir daí, sugere-se o uso da problematização Foucaultiana como forma de análise das soluções políticas ao Antropoceno propostas pela disciplina. A seguir, a dissertação conecta as Ciências do Sistema Terrestre com outros momentos de desenvolvimento da ciência moderna com o âmbito de mover uma discussão geral sobre o poder de uma autoridade científica legitimar formas de política internacional através de práticas de world-making. Com isso, a discussão expande em dois mundos e formulações de política internacional possíveis advindos de distintas interpretações do Antropoceno. Finalmente, no que se refere à literatura de Relações Internacionais, a dissertação avalia como a apropriação do conceito de Antropoceno a partir de CST é realizada, prestando atenção especificamente na chamada por uma mudança na ontologia da disciplina e na relação entendida como desejável entre teoria e prática política presente na literatura, ambos elementos associados à CST. Por último, a noção de problematização é retomada para se analisar as soluções políticas e intelectuais propostas pela literatura Crítica de Relações Internacionais em sua mobilização do Antropoceno. / [en] This dissertation attempts to critically analyze the mobilization of the concept of the Anthropocene by Critical International Relations literature. It does so with a particular focus on the origins of the concept within Earth System Sciences (ESS), and within a more general discussion over the scientific authority of modern science and its connections to practices of world-making - discussed specifically in terms of scientific cosmologies - and propositions over international politics. As such, the discussion explores the construction of ESS and the formulation of the Anthropocene as related to the political commitments of the discipline and proposes the use of the Foucauldian problematization to analyze the political solutions stemming from the discipline. Then, the dissertation connects Earth System Sciences to other scientific endeavors, in a different historical context in order to move a more generalized discussion on the power of scientific authority to inform international politics through world-making practices. With that, the discussion lays out two possible worlds and political implications stemming from interpretations of the Anthropocene. Finally, within IR literature the dissertation assesses how the appropriation of the Anthropocene is conducted, paying particular attention to the call for an ontological shift within the discipline and to the specific relationship between theory and political action present in the literature, both elements connected to ESS. At last, the notion of problematization is brought back in order to analyze the intellectual and political solutions brought forth by Critical IR in their mobilization of the Anthropocene.

Avhandlingen kartlägger och analyserar i fyra empiriska artiklar hur elevsubjekt konstrueras i skolans vardag och vilken roll marknadens principer spelar i dessa konstruktioner. I synnerhet fokuseras vilka logiker som konstituerar gymnasievalets praktiker, samt hur dessa legitimeras, tolkas och utmanas. Resultatet visar att gymnasievalets praktiker delar upp både nuet och framtiden för eleverna, som valet mellan en uttalad utopi eller en underförstådd dystopi, där eleverna i hög grad själva görs ansvariga för att lyckas eller misslyckas med att förverkliga den utopi som iscensätts i valets praktiker. Denna uppdelning framstår för aktörerna till stor del som naturlig och apolitisk, vilket i sin tur legitimerar dess effekter i termer av exkludering, ojämlikhet och segregering, ofta på basis av social klass. Den marknadsstyrda skolans diskurser konstruerar och delar också upp eleverna som om de vore varor med olika värde. Begreppet fantasmatiska logiker kan förklara hur elever greppas av  marknadsliknande diskurser, samt hur de hanterar motsägelsefulla villkor. Exempelvis hur gymnasievalet för eleverna både innebär att förändras och bli vad man vill, samtidigt som man formas att bli mer av den man redan är, genom att välja att vara den man är. Elevernas problematisering och destabilisering av dominerande marknadslogiker i skolan förekommer i alla undersökta sammanhang, och beskrivs i avhandlingen som både genomskådanden och ifrågasättanden av hur skola och utbildning kopplas samman med marknadens logiker. Genom att genomskåda gymnasievalets förmenta neutralitet synliggör eleverna hur marknadsstyrningen av utbildning i allmänhet och iscensättningen av mässorna i synnerhet tycks ligga i skolornas, snarare än elevernas intresse. / The thesis explores and analyzes in four empirical articles how student subjects are constructed in everyday school life and what role market principles play in these constructions. In particular, it focuses on the logics that constitute upper secondary school choice practices, and how these are legitimized, interpreted and challenged. The results show that upper secondary school choice practices divide the present and the future of the students as the choice between an explicit utopia and an implied dystopia. Here, the students themselves are made responsible for their success or failure in realizing the utopia that is staged in school choice practices. This division generally appears to the actors as natural and apolitical, which in turn legitimizes its effects in terms of exclusion, inequality and segregation, often on the basis of social class. Furthermore, the market-driven school discourses construct and divide the students as if they were commodities of different value. The notion of fantasmatic logics can explain how students are gripped by market-driven discourses and how they handle contradictory conditions. For instance, it explains how, for students, school choice means they can transform and become who they want to be, while at the same time they can also become more of what they already are, by choosing to be who they are. Students, however, problematize and destabilize dominant market logics in the school in all examined contexts, which in the thesis is analyzed in terms of penetrations and destabilizations of how schools and education are linked to the market logics. By penetrating the presupposed neutrality of secondary school choice practice, the students expose how the market orientation of education in general and the staging of school fairs in particular appear to be in schools’, rather than students’, interest.

L'objectif le plus global des approches éducatives de l'orientation est d'organiser l'information et l'orientation des élèves dans un processus éducatif continu. Il ne s'agit pas d'orienter les élèves ; mais de les aider à concevoir et à conduire de manière progressivement autonome, une démarche de projet scolaire, puis professionnel. Dans ce cadre, il paraît judicieux de développer chez tous les élèves les compétences qui leur permettront de gérer leur processus d'information, or aujourd'hui encore, ceci ne fait pas l'objet d'une formation systématique au collège. Avec la convergence des formats hypertexte et multimédia un renouvellement des problématiques pédagogiques de l'auto information s'impose. Pourquoi, malgré tous les efforts de l'institution, le niveau d'information des élèves en matière d'orientation reste-t-il toujours insatisfaisant ? Après une phase de modélisation théorique du processus d'information pour identifier les causes de dysfonctionnement du système, nous avons entrepris une recherche-action dans le but d'éprouver les solutions induites de nos résultats théoriques sur le savoir s'informer en ligne. L'intérêt de cette démarche est de sensibiliser l'équipe éducative aux difficultés spécifiques de la lecture des informations en ligne, de concevoir l'accompagnement pédagogique d'une démarche autonome de l'élève et d'aider les concepteurs de nouveaux dispositifs à prendre en compte ces spécificités. / The most overall objective of educational approaches the orientation is to organize the information and guidance of students in an ongoing educational process. It does not refer students; but to help them to design and lead gradually autonomously approach to school project and professional. In this context, it makes sense to develop in all students the skills to manage their information process, or even today, this is not the subject of systematic training in college. With the convergence of hypertext and multimedia formats renewal of educational problems of auto information is required. Why, despite all the institution's efforts, the level of information in guidance students he remains unsatisfactory? After a theoretical modeling phase of the information process to identify the causes of system malfunction, we undertook an action research in order to test the induced solutions of our theoretical results on the know go online. The advantage of this approach is to raise the educational team to the specific difficulties of reading information online, designing educational support an autonomous process of the student and help designers of new devices to take these specificities into account.

Orientador: Renata Cristina Geromel Meneghetti / Resumo: Esta pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de investigar o desenvolvimento da autonomia de cinco professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental para o trabalho com a Matemática, partindo das propostas do grupo de estudos e formação continuada com respaldo na Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica e na Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, tanto para o planejamento das atividades da sala de aula quanto para a reflexão sobre a realidade educacional e sobre o trabalho educativo. A investigação direcionou especial atenção à construção da identidade docente e como esta se constitui mediante os processos de estudo, discussão e reflexão do grupo, culminando na apresentação da Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica como uma proposta teórica e metodológica para pensar a própria formação e a prática pedagógica. A intenção foi oferecer indicativos de ampliação da autonomia docente pelo domínio teórico, prático e pela constante problematização da realidade, para os professores e, também, para os cursos de formação continuada, visando trabalhar o desenvolvimento da autonomia das professoras que atuam nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, para que possam buscar a construção de uma identidade docente crítica e transformadora. Para tanto, utilizamos os elementos da análise do discurso para interpretação das entrevistas semiestruturadas e questões pontuais evidenciadas no grupo de estudos. Buscamos, por meio desta pesquisa, caracterizar a identidade e autonomia das docentes, antes e depois das intervenções do gru...

The research focused special attention on the construction of the teaching identity and how it is constituted through the group's study, discussion and reflection processes, culminating in the presentation of the Historical-Critical Pedagogy as a theoretical and methodological proposal to think about their own formation and pedagogical practice. The intention was to offer indications for the expansion of teacher autonomy through the theoretical, practical domain and constant problematization of reality, for teachers and, also, for continuing education courses, aiming to work on the development of the autonomy of teachers who work in the early years of elementary school, so that they can seek the construction of a critical and transforming teaching identity. For this, we used the elements of discourse analysis to interpret the semi-structured interviews and specific issues highlighted in the study group. We seek, through this research, to characterize the identity and autonomy of teachers, before and after the study group interventions, with a c...

Argumentation in interaction: The sequential structure of accounts in television debates Abstract This dissertation concentrates on the sequential structure of argumentation in spoken interaction. The point of departure is the concept of argumentation as linguistic action based on accounting for a controversial position with the purpose of convincing listeners of its acceptability or in order to defend it when it is challenged. The dissertation's specific aim is to describe the interactional context of argumentation using material from TV debates. The study utilizes ethnomethodological conversation analysis combined with elements of argumentation theory. The objects of empirical analysis are the types of linguistic action in argumentation interaction (e.g. the call for argumentation or the challenge to a position or argument) and the means of signaling argumentation. The research focuses on the analysis of the sequential organization of the TV debate, including the system of turn-taking, and on describing the sequential contexts of the argumentation in this genre. Attention is devoted to so-called argumentative sequences, i.e. series of mutual argumentative responses (problematizations) by the debate participants. Also examined are other types of linguistic action which initiate argumentation by...

Deux questions sont à l’origine de cette recherche: 1) Quelles transformations affectent un savoir de gestion lorsqu’il sort du champ théorique pour devenir objet d’enseignement ? 2) Comment conserver, aux concepts enseignés en gestion, leur force initiale lorsqu’ils sont apparus dans le champ scientifique ? La problématique générale de l’articulation de l’épistémologie et de la didactique en gestion conduit à mettre en œuvre une méthodologie originale d’analyse d’un concept de gestion en cinq étapes : analyse du sens commun et des représentations du concept, étude du sens scientifique dans les traités et les œuvres de grands auteurs, repérage de la place du concept dans les programmes officiels, examen des manuels scolaires, identification des obstacles épistémologiques qui entravent la construction du concept par l’élève. Cette méthodologie est appliquée ici au concept de décision, concept nodal des sciences de gestion, qui est ici analysé en détail, et à sa didactisation dans la voie technologique tertiaire supérieure française. L’examen des programmes officiels et des manuels scolaires a montré que le savoir didactisé de la décision est une construction spécifique des auteurs de manuels, à mi chemin entre le sens commun et les sens scientifiques. Il est aussi apparu que la connaissance épistémologique des concepts en gestion ne suffit pas à en conserver la force initiale, mais que la culture épistémologique est nécessaire à la problématisation des concepts de gestion et à la didactique de leur conceptualisation. / This research stems from two questions: 1) What is the impact on scientific knowledge in management when it leaves the theoretical field of study to become an object of teaching? 2) Regarding the concepts taught in management how is it possible to preserve the initial strength they had when they were first introduced in the scientific field? The general issue of the articulation between epistemology and didactics in management leads to implement an original methodology for analysing a management concept in five steps: analyse the concept through a common sense approach and representations, study its scientific meaning from the treatises and works of great authors, identify the treatment of the concept in the national curriculum, study school textbooks, investigate the epistemological obstacles which hinder pupils from constructing the concept. This methodology applies here to the concept of decision, a central concept in management, which is precisely analysed in this research, and to the way it is apprehended didactically with a view to teaching students attending technological courses. Exploring the national curriculum and school textbooks has shown that the concept of decision adapted for teaching purposes is a specific construct which was created by textbook writers, half way between common sense and scientific sense. It has been made clear that the epistemological knowledge of management concepts is not enough to preserve their original strength. However the problematization of management concepts and the didactic study of their conceptualization require an epistemological culture.
