A dissertação aborda a difusão da literatura marxista no Brasil na década de 1940 no período de reorganização e legalidade do PCB (Partido Comunista Brasileiro), que tem início com a II Conferência Nacional do partido em agosto de 1943 (Conferência da Mantiqueira) e vai até a cassação dos parlamentares comunistas pelo governo Dutra em janeiro de 1948. Trata-te de entender essa difusão pela atuação do editor José Calvino Filho e da Editorial Calvino Limitada, ligada ao PCB. Para isso, são analisados os catálogos dessa editora, os anúncios da mesma, artigos do editor presentes nos periódicos da época, além dos livros editados por ele. Por essa análise pretende-se compreender o papel das edições do partido na sua reorganização e na conformação do movimento comunista brasileiro no período, levando em conta as obras de caráter marxista publicados por Calvino Filho nesses anos, a sua natureza (doutrinária, política, de organização partidária, literatura operária, análises sobre a Rússia socialista, memórias, etc.), o nível de produção da editora através do número de publicações, e a relação entre o tipo de obras publicadas e a linha política adotada pelo partido nesse momento. / The thesis addresses the diffusion of the Marxist literature in Brazil during the 1940s in the period of reorganisation and and legitimacy of the PCB (Communist Brazilian Party), which begins with the Second National Conference of the party in August 1943 (Mantiqueira Conference) and goes on until de repeal of the communist parliamentarians by the Dutra government in January 1948. It regards understanding this diffusion through the performance of the editor José Calvino Filho and the Editorial Calvino Limitada, connected to PCB. For that, the catalogues of the aforementioned publishing company and its advertising have been analysed, as well as articles by the editor printed in the newspapers of the time, and the books edited by him. Through this analysis it is intended to comprehend the role of the partys editions in its reorganisation and in the conformation of the Brazilian communist movement of the time, taking into account the works of Marxist features published by Calvino Filho in these years, their nature (doctrinaire, political, of party organisation, working literature, analysis over socialist Russia, memories, etc), the level of production of the publishing company through the number of publications, and the relationship between the type of published works and the political line adopted by the party in this moment.

A justificativa é que os mecanismos e o material de disseminação de dados da Prova Brasil ainda não são suficientemente compreendidos e utilizados pelos profissionais da educação. Como metodologia de pesquisa, adotaram-se análise documental, pesquisa bibliográfica, entrevistas de roteiro semiestruturado e questionários. A investigação empreendida evidencia, no primeiro momento, o contexto de surgimento das avaliações em larga escala no Brasil, cujo marco inaugural foi a implantação do Saeb. Na sequência, descreve o funcionamento deste sistema, englobando sua criação e sua reformulação, que resultou na incorporação da Prova Brasil. Expõe elementos como as matrizes de referência, as disciplinas avaliadas, as fases da política e as áreas responsáveis por sua execução. O foco é, sobretudo, a análise do processo e do material utilizado para a disseminação dos dados, trazendo à tona informações sobre esse modelo. Esta análise foi validada mediante um questionário respondido por gestores da área de avaliação educacional de alguns estados brasileiros. Os achados da pesquisa demonstraram que, embora a apreciação do material e do modelo de divulgação pelos gestores tenha sido positiva na maioria dos aspectos, algumas mudanças foram sugeridas e podem ser empreendidas com o intuito de uma eficiência maior no entendimento e no uso dos dados. Ao final, são propostas algumas alterações tanto nas estratégias de disseminação dos resultados da Prova Brasil (modificações no livreto e nos cartazes, instituição de um “Dia D”) quanto no material (criação de um vídeo explicativo e de uma revista) as quais poderão contribuir para facilitar a compreensão e a apropriação destes por parte de profissionais da área educacional. / This essay aims to analyze the policy and publishing material of Prova Brasil results, in order to improve the strategies and dissemination of them. The argument is that they are not used properly and effectively by education professionals. The research methods used were: document analysis, bibliographical research, semi-structured interviews and questionnaires. The investigation shows the context of the beginning of large-scale assessment programs in Brazil, which started with National Assessment of Basic Education (Saeb). In addition, it describes how this system works, its creation and redevelopment, resulting in Prova Brasil incorporation. The following topics are also covered: the reference test matrix, subjects evaluated, phases of the policy and the areas responsible for its development. It focuses on the analysis of the process and the material used for data dissemination, bringing up information about the model. This analysis was verified by a questionnaire answered by evaluation of education managers from different Brazilian states. The research results show that, although the material appreciation and its dissemination model are mostly positive, some changes must be suggested with the aim of improving and understanding data use. Finally, other changes are suggested for the dissemination of Prova Brasil results (brochures and charts, day “D” creation) and the material itself (explaining video and a magazine), which may contribute to the understanding and use of those elements by education professionals.

A digitalização e a popularização da internet podem fazer o livro impresso, que existe há mais de quinhentos anos, desaparecer em um futuro próximo. Diversos produtos pertencentes à mesma indústria de bens informativos, como a música, vêm atualmente sendo entregues pela indústria e consumidos de maneira bastante diferente de alguns anos atrás. Livros continuam sendo majoritariamente consumidos em seu formato impresso. Por quê? O principal objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar as diferenças de percepção sobre a adoção de livros didáticos eletrônicos entre professores universitários e profissionais da indústria editorial. A pesquisa utiliza o método survey e o instrumento desenvolvido por Moore e Benbasat (1991) sobre adoção de inovações. Foram pesquisadas as percepções de professores universitários e profissionais de editoras sobre a possível utilização de livros eletrônicos didáticos no lugar de impressos. As conclusões indicam que os professores estão mais preparados para a utilização de livros eletrônicos do que imaginam os profissionais de editoras. / The digitization and the spread of the internet may result in the extinction of the printed book, that has existed for more than 500 years. Many products that belongs to the same information industry, like thes the music, are currently being provided by the industry and consumed in radically different manners as compared to just few years ago. Books still have been consumed mainly in the printed format. Why is that? The main objective of this research is to identify the differences in perception about the adoption of electronic didactic books among university professors and publishing professionals. This research uses the Survey as its method and the instrument developed by Moore and Benbasat (1991) about the adoption of innovations. Professors´ and Publishing professionals´ perceptions were investigated in what it concerned the possible use of electronic didactic books replacing the printed. It is concluded that professors are more prepared to make use of electronic books than it is imagined by the publishing professionals.

The study adopts a case study examination of three student reflective joumals written about class and field based applied Drama experiences over one year. The journals were written as part of a curriculum outcome to develop reflective practice, for one Drama Honours paper (Educational Drama and Theatre) at Rhodes University Drama Department, South Africa. Based on a narrative inquiry approach, the study documents the changes in identity, discourse, and representation of self and other, which emerge through the journal writing process. The research analyses how identities are constructed through reflective writing practices, and how these identities might relate to the arguments for the development of reflexivity. The development of reflexivity is seen as integral to contemporary educational policies associated with lifelong learning, and the skills required of graduates in South Africa's emerging democracy. These policies centre on means of preparing students for a world characterised by change and instability, or what Barnett (2000) has termed a "supercomplex world". The research findings suggest that journal writing within a Drama Studies curriculum, allows students to construct subjectivities which support Barnett's claim that "the main pedagogical task in a university is not that of the transmission of knowledge but of promoting forms of human being appropriate to the conditions of supercomplexity" (Barnett, 2000b: 164). In addition, the development of different writing genres within a Drama Studies curriculum allows students to develop disciplinarily relevant ways of discussing and researching artistic processes and products. A reflective journal is a potential site for students to interrogate and construct emerging identities which enable them to negotiate diversity, thus preparing them for their lives beyond the university.

The scope of this master thesis is the scientific publishing at Uppsala University's Faculty of Arts. The aim of the thesis is to investigate publication patterns and publishing strategies. To investigate how the publication patterns of the faculty is structured and what priorities and considerations the researchers have regarding scientific publishing.  Furthermore, the aim is to compare these publishing strategies and publication patterns to incentives and selection principles of the bibliometric indicators in the performance based research funding systems on the national and local scale. The thesis is based on the theories of disciplinary differences developed by Richard Whitley and Tony Becher and Paul R. Trowler. These theories suggest a framework based on organizational and sociological perspectives, that offers ways to explain differences in publication patterns between different scientific fields. The study is based on two empirical studies of the faculty. A survey of the researchers publication patterns has been conducted, and publications that are registered in the local publication database has been analyzed. Results from the study show that scientific journal articles, book chapters and monographs, are the most important publishing forms and occur at all departments at the faculty. Many respondents remarked that publication patterns are changing toward more international publishing and increased article publishing in scientific journals, which corresponds with the analysis of the actual publications. Overall, the respondents rank their knowledge of the bibliometric indicators in the lower scale, while the respondents' publication strategies are in fact consistent with the incentives in the allocation models. The selection principle of the local allocation model captures a larger share of the faculty’s publications in comparison to the national allocation model. However, results from the survey shows that there are significant differences at an institutional level, in how the local bibliometric quality indicator assess the respondents' most central and most respected publishing channels. The publishing channels of the Department of Literature have the lowest correlation and the highest correlations are found among respondents from the Department of Philosophy. The study also finds a correlation between the quality indicators’ assessment of the departments’ central publishing channels and the assessment of the departments' actual publications.

Abstract The rationale for this doctoral research derives from the escalating challenge posed by the media gap reducing learners’ school motivation. Today’s learners have been attracted to interactive media involving content creation, but such activating learning environments are rarely employed at school. To address this challenge, I started this research on pedagogical potentials of publishing-oriented learner-generated video production. The process, implementing new literacies, offered an alternative to traditional instruction as well as opportunities for multilevel social interaction. Online publishing of the videos as a natural continuation of the process enabled interaction between school and society. In this research, I examined through three case studies what kinds of social interaction emerge in this context and how interaction can be improved. I collected the data in primary and secondary schools by observing and video recording discussions in video projects and by interviewing students, teachers and parents. I employed a quantifying method to analyze group interaction and its development and used inductive qualitative methods to examine teacher–student interaction and interaction at the societal level. The findings emphasize the crucial role of the teacher in orchestrating social interaction. The observed peer group was actively involved in planning their joint video story, but the open-ended fictional task challenged interaction. Despite initial disputational and modest discussion the group learned to ‘intercreate’ due to minimal scaffolding provided by the teacher. Occasionally, whole-class discussions were dominated by the teacher and two to three students. Online publishing of the videos appeared to generate contradictory feelings. In primary schools videos were largely published online, but in secondary schools students were more reluctant to publish their school-context videos. Interaction was scarce between students, teachers and parents even though they were invited to discuss the media ground rules of online publishing activities. In order to improve interaction processes and environments, the teacher needs to designate carefully scripted subtasks, provide reflective scaffolding as well as implement media encouragement to enable interaction between school and society. / Tiivistelmä Väitöstutkimuksen taustalla on koulun ja arjen mediaympäristöjen välille viime vuosina syntynyt, koulumotivaatiota heikentävä kuilu. Oppijat ovat arjessaan tottuneet vuorovaikutteiseen, tuottavaan median käyttöön, mutta koululla on vaikeuksia hyödyntää aktivoivia oppimisympäristöjä. Vastauksena tähän haasteeseen aloin tutkia julkaisemislähtöisen yhteisöllisen videotuotannon mahdollisuuksia opetuksessa. Tämä monilukutaitoja toteuttava työmuoto tarjosi vaihtoehdon perinteiselle opetukselle ja tilaisuuksia monipuoliselle vuorovaikutukselle. Videoiden verkkojulkaiseminen prosessin luontevana jatkona mahdollisti vuorovaikutuksen myös koulun ja ympäröivän yhteiskunnan välillä. Tutkimuksessa selvitin millaista vuorovaikutusta tässä kontekstissa muodostuu ja millä tavoin vuorovaikutusta voidaan kehittää. Tutkimuksen toteutin kolmen tapaustutkimuksen sarjana. Aineistot keräsin ala- ja yläkoulussa observoimalla ja videoimalla videoprojektien keskusteluja sekä haastattelemalla oppijoita, opettajia ja vanhempia. Tutkin ryhmävuorovaikutuksen kehittymistä määrällistävällä menetelmällä. Lisäksi tarkastelin vuorovaikutusta opettaja–oppija-tasolla sekä koulun ja yhteiskunnan välillä aineistolähtöisen laadullisen analyysin keinoin. Tulokset osoittavat opettajan olevan keskeisessä asemassa vuorovaikutuksen orkesteroinnissa. Tarkastelemani oppijaryhmä suunnitteli innostuneesti videotarinoita, mutta avoin fiktiivinen tehtävänanto vaikeutti vuorovaikutusta. Vaikka keskustelu oli aluksi riitaisaa ja laadultaan vaatimatonta, ryhmä oppi opettajan antaman minimaalisen tuen avulla luomaan yhdessä itsenäisesti. Oppijalähtöinen ryhmittyminen vei aikaa ja vaikeutti työn aloittamista, kun taas opettajajakoiset ryhmät näyttivät käynnistyvän helpommin. Kokoluokkakeskustelua dominoivat opettaja ja pari oppilasta. Videoiden verkkojulkaiseminen herätti ristiriitaisia näkemyksiä. Alakouluissa julkaistiin videoita mielellään, kun taas yläkouluissa arkailtiin niiden julkaisemista. Verkkojulkaisemisen julkisuuskasvatukselliseen keskusteluun osallistamien osapuolten välinen vuorovaikutus jäi vähäiseksi. Vuorovaikutusprosessien ja -ympäristöjen kehittämiseksi opettajalta edellytetään selkeiden osatehtävien huolellista suunnittelua, reflektiivistä ohjaamisen taitoa sekä verkkojulkaisemiseen rohkaisemista mahdollistamaan vuorovaikutusta koulun sekä ympäröivän yhteiskunnan välillä.

This case study, through ten interviews with a variety of people working with or around theSwedish manga publishing industry, attempts to catalog the rise, decline and lasting effects of theindustrial boom of Japanese manga literature published in Sweden between the years 2000 and2017. The study explores relationship between subsidiary and mother company, as well as to fill inthe blanks of the research field as it pertains specifically to Sweden’s manga scene. The study usesthe theory of the culture industry by Adorno and Horkheimer (1944), together with Herbert Gans(1974) distinction between high and low culture to study this field. Theoretically the study alsooperates on the basis of the conditions that the globalized world awards these two aspects (Lechnerand Boli, 2008).The paper concludes that a mix between industry related issues, such as an over-saturation of themarket and failure to adapt to the global flow of cultural commerce is to blame for the decline. Thistogether with aspects of a cultural nature, such as an underlying disdain for manga as both only for,while at the same time harmful for children proved to be enough to almost entirely kill off mangapublishing in the country over the years studied.

M.A. (Information Science) / Since the earliest civilizations books have found their way into libraries, thus the printing and publishing industries in the era after Gutenberg invented printing with moveable type, are of cardinal importance to library science. Within the field of library science the systematic bibliographic description of the products of the printing and publishing industries features strongly. Books and other publications are a basic necessity in any civilized community. It therefore stands to reason that after the constitutional establishment of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek (ZAR) a printing and publishing industry would develop and thrive. A complete survey of the printing and publishing industry in the Transvaal has not yet been published. This study endeavours to fill this gap by bringing together information on all types of publications printed in Dutch, Afrikaans, English and other languages in the Transvaal during the period 1857-1902. This is done in the form of a bibliography and a description of the printing and publishing industry in the ZAR. A literature study was done using bibliographies and catalogues in the Brenthurst Library, Johannesburg Public Library and the Rand Afrikaans University Library. It was established from the literature what was printed and published from 1857-1902 in the Transvaal. A bibliography of these items was compiled and information on the printers and publishers was collected. This was supplemented by information gleaned from books, periodical articles, newspapers, theses and dissertations...
