[pt] Esta pesquisa discute a fila no Brasil sob uma perspectiva antropológica, buscando interpretá-la como um processo ritual que revela alguns valores fundamentais da identidade sociocultural brasileira. Tomando a fila como um fenômeno constitutivo da ordem liberal-democrática moderna – e não como um simples reflexo dela – o estudo explora matizes da fila na sociedade brasileira através de metodologia etnográfica, que incluiu observação participante e, sobretudo, um estudo das narrativas sobre a fila. A partir de variados referenciais sociológicos e antropológicos – entre os quais se destaca a obra de Roberto DaMatta – o trabalho demonstra que a fila no Brasil assume condições particulares a partir da sua associação a determinadas representações de valores culturais próprios, que podem ser interpretados através da compreensão ritual da fila. / [en] This research discusses the queue in Brazil under an anthropological perspective, seeking to interpret it as a ritual process that reveals some of the core values of the Brazilian sociocultural identity. Taking the queue as a constitutive phenomenon of modern liberal-democratic order – not as a mere reflection of it – the study explores nuances of the queue in Brazilian society through ethnographic methodology, that included participant observation and, above all, a study of narratives about the queue. From various sociological and anthropological references – among which the work of Roberto DaMatta stands out – the study demonstrates that the queue in Brazil embodies particular conditions from its association with certain representations of cultural values, which can be interpreted through a ritual comprehension of the queue.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1980. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Bibliography: p. 108-113. / Architecture is not just flashy design, nor is its sole aim to determine what dispositions of form are appropriate for all people for all time. Sometimes the architect must take a more humble, less visible role. Participation of the people who inhabit a place is key to maintaining the environment. For such participation to occur, an architect must enable inhabitants to exercise a wide play of choice in the use of a built environment and of change in the adaptation of its physical structure. Such characteristics of a place contribute to its tractability. The objective of this thesis is to outline design characteristics which contribute to the tractability of housing, using the rowhouse type as a spring point. This study is grounded in a behavioral perspective. Dimensional criteria are generated using behavior patterns, in an attempt to avoid stereotypes inherent in defining household activities by rooms. Activity settings and use scenarios are vehicles for examining two instructive examples of housing. Relevant characteristics are summarized and employed in the design of rowhouses for a Cambridge site, to simulate future conditions as scarcity of natural resources brings about concern for intensification of urban land use. / by Charles Allen Craig. / M.Arch.
