In 2011 five days of rioting spread across many English towns and cities. David Cameron, then UK Prime Minister, described these events as ‘criminality, pure and simple’, inhibiting serious examination of what happened and justifying harsh punitive sentences for rioters. This thesis explains and counters the naïve individualism that underpins the discourse of ‘criminality’; but further argues that such discursive acts are representative of a broader problem within the social order that is causally implicated the violence in 2011. In contrast to the popular and sociological approach of analysing the singular ‘riot’, ‘riot actions’ are conceptualised as the foci of analysis, and in turn argued as acts of resistance generated by the organisation and practice of power within the social order. Thus riot actions are conceptualised and function as a symptom and entry point by which analysis can better get under the skin of the social order and understand its failing. Arguing for violent acts against the police as symptomatic of the social order’s failure, the thesis examines instances of these in the 2011 and 1980s riots. The thesis explores and compares the involvement of race, exclusion, social identity, and police during and across these periods. It further examines how neoliberal forms of exclusion have shaped the possibilities of riotous actions, before performing a situational analysis of video footage of the 2011 riots. To facilitate this approach the thesis develops a theory of action/resistance through an account of the production of agency. The theory connects Bourdieu’s theorisation of habitus and disposition, utilises an expressive understanding of shame and self-esteem, and Butler’s notion of performativity. Thus we seek to understand how structured experiences, in particular social and economic exclusion, become meaningful to those excluded, and how this shapes violent acts as meaningful performances. The thesis argues that resistance is generated through power relations, which amongst many rioters, are failing to reproduce the sense of self-worth required for identification with and engagement in, the social order. From this standpoint, then, riotous resistance cannot be explained as distinct from the social order, which shapes agency’s ‘necessary scene’, but as rational and emotional responses to it. The emergence of neoliberalism and individualism in the 1970s and 1980s created an epistemological and thus ontological shift, reshaping how disrespect and disempowerment is experienced and understood by excluded groups. These shifts or emergences have diminished the capacity of socially and economically excluded groups to generate Politicised identities and forms of resistance. Consequently, rather than ‘criminality’ - a moral condemnation - the 1980s and 2011, saw an increasing emergence of individualised - rather than Politicised - forms of resistance against the social and political order. Individualised resistance to power within the social order is ‘performed’ through short-term goals that momentarily re- arrange these power relations with regards to the self and police. In these behaviours, structurally produced shame and anger are expressed, social identities are formed and realised through a common complaint and goal, and the self achieves value through attacking or confounding the police.

Esta pesquisa analisa, do ponto de vista etnográfico, os visitantes da Pinacoteca do Estado, em São Paulo. Embora seja o museu de arte mais antigo da cidade, a Pinacoteca se encontra, junto a outras instituições culturais da região da Luz, no meio de processos de revitalização por meio da cultura. Tais processos fazem parte de fenômenos urbanos globais que vêm redefinindo o papel dos museus no contexto urbano e relacionando-os com processos econômicos mais abrangentes. No entanto, a presente pesquisa busca um afastamento das análises que entendem os museus como parte de uma cultura de consumo e vê seus frequentadores apenas como consumidores. Contudo, não se propõe aqui uma antropologia do consumo, que em que pese a notável superação de uma abordagem moral do tema se baseia numa ruptura entre sujeito e objeto e compreende as relações materiais apenas como formas de representação de classificações e divisões culturais mais profundas de grupos sociais. Tenta-se, na verdade, compreender o comportamento dos visitantes da Pinacoteca em suas formas de sociabilidade, bem como a relação desses visitantes com os objetos de arte tendo como base uma perspectiva antropológica da arte e da cultura material. Tal perspectiva permite conceber as obras de arte como pessoas, o que dinamiza e complexifica as relações com objetos materiais. Assim, analisa-se, situacionalmente, as relações dos visitantes da Pinacoteca de modo que, por meio das obras de arte e dos laços de sociabilidade, as interações sociais possam ser ampliadas e, em vez de ocasião para distinção simbólica e social, a visita possa ser entendida como oportunidade de construção pessoal. / This research analyzes, from an ethnographic point of view, the visitors of Pinacoteca do Estado, in São Paulo. Although it is the oldest art museum in the city, the Pinacoteca is, along with other cultural institutions in the region of Luz, amid processes of revitalization through culture. These processes are part of global urban phenomena that come redefining the role of museums in the urban context and relating them to broader economic processes. However, this research seeks a departure from the analyses that understand museums as part of a culture of consumption and see their visitors only as consumers. Nevertheless, it is not proposed here an anthropology of consumption in spite of the remarkable overcoming of a moral approach to the subject which is based on a split between subject and object and understands the material relations only as forms of representation of deeper classifications and cultural divisions of social groups. Actually, we try to understand the behavior of Pinacotecas visitors in their forms of sociability, as well as the relationship of these visitors with the objects of art based on an anthropological perspective of art and material culture. This perspective allows conceiving artworks as people, which dynamizes and complexifies relations with material objects. Thus, we analyze, situationally, the relationship of the Pinacotecas visitors so that by works of art and the bonds of sociability, social interactions can be expanded and instead of occasion for symbolic and social distinction, the visit can be understood as an opportunity for personal construction.

A presente tese tem como tema a trama articulada em torno do recente processo de implementação de políticas públicas em duas favelas vizinhas da zona sul da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, às quais o poder público chama Complexo Pavão-Pavãozinho- Cantagalo. Tal processo envolve algumas das políticas de maior visibilidade no cenário político atual, como o Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento (PAC), a Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP) e ainda o processo de regularização urbanística e fundiária. A partir da análise situacional dessa trama, o trabalho evidencia as diferenciações, as rivalidades e também as alianças que perpassam a complexa dinâmica organizacional dos moradores do Cantagalo e do Pavão-Pavãozinho. Através da análise de seus discursos e também práticas espaciais, em diferentes situações sociais, a tese ressalta que os moradores dessas duas favelas não se percebem e, sobretudo, não atuam como um grupo único, coeso e integrado, tal como sugere a categoria Complexo Pavão-Pavãozinho-Cantagalo. A tese discute ainda os desafios colocados aos antigos arranjos do associativismo local ao longo do processo de implantação dessas políticas públicas. O trabalho descreve e analisa a forma como velhos e novos atores da política local \"participam\" do processo em curso, dando especial atenção às práticas das lideranças comunitárias e à noção de agência nelas encontrada. A tese aborda a multiplicidade de lógicas que orienta a ação dessas lideranças, problematizando, assim, a recorrente polarização em análises desse tema entre práticas individualistas e coletivistas. / This dissertation is articulated around the recent process of implementing public policies in two neighboring favelas in the zona sul of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which is known as Pavão-Pavãozinho-Cantagalo Complex. This process involves some of the most visible policies in the current political scenario, such as the Program for Accelerating Growth (PAC), The Pacification Police Units (UPP) and also policies for urban and land regulation. By employing a situational analysis of this drama, the work makes evident differentiations, rivalries, and also alliances that spread throughout the complex organizational dynamics of residents in both Cantagalo and Pavão-Pavãozinho. By analyzing discourses and spatial practices in distinct social situations, the dissertation emphasizes that residents in these two favelas dont perceive and, especially, dont act as one single unified group, cohesive and integrated, such as suggested by the category Pavão-Pavãozinho-Cantagalo Complex. The dissertation further discurses the challenges placed on previous arrangements of local associativism throughout the process of implementing these public policies. The work describes and analyzes how both old and new actors on the local political scene participate in the process underway, giving special attention to community leadership practice and the notion of agency as found therein. The dissertation takes up the multiple logics that guides action among these leaders, thus calling into question the recurrent polarization found in analyses of this topic among individualist and collectivist practices.

After the appropriate marketing strategy was suggested, that is focused on increasing of competiveness and also on increasing of market share of Czech dermatological centers, l. t. d., in the Czech market. The main recommendations are primarily - optimalization of the product portfolio, intensification of sales promotion, development of interactive communication and use of printed advertising.

This study is concerned with furthering an understanding of the behaviour of organisational boundary personnel, or more exactly, with how boundaries act as psychological environments. The study has two complementary aims: to describe the psychological environment encountered by boundary personnel and to offer a theoretical model of the organisation as a psychological environment, the latter being a prerequisite of the former. It is held that a social psychological perspective is needed which can deal adequately with organisations as antecedent conditions of behaviour, and that situational analysis offers a useful social psychological framework for this purpose. The empirical investigation is an initial descriptive study of the psychological environment encountered by boundary personnel. It is argued that initial descriptive studies are necessary when dealing with largely unstudied phenomena, and that this stage in the scientific process has often been undervalued by social psychologists. A diary analysis followed by interviews were used to elicit a range of situations encountered by boundary personnel having direct and frequent contact with customers and clients. Four organisations were studied, each having a different primary task. A self-completion questionnaire was administered to elicit judgemental data, using the situations as stimuli. Multidimensional scaling was applied to analyse the data, treated as four sub-sets. This yielded the dimensions underlying each data set and the representation of situations according to these dimensions in each case. The results suggest that three common dimensions (formality, anxiety and socio-emotionality) underlie the cognitive representations of boundary personnel, and that the psychological environment encountered is complex. A taxonomy of situations is constructed and several important hypotheses relating to the psychological environment of boundary personnel formulated. Implications for future research are discussed.

Health care providers (HCPs) who work in adult palliative care occasionally encounter children who have a parent who is dying. This grounded theory (GT) study examines how adult palliative care providers respond to the needs of children who have a parent in palliative care. I use Adele Clarke’s (2005) situational analysis method, a postmodern iteration of GT. Clarke’s situational map acts as an analytical tool to identify and analyze different actors and elements in the situation of concern. Five semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with adult palliative care providers. Provisional theorizing resulted in three sub processes emerging from the data. First, adult palliative care providers must be cautious when identifying and responding to the needs of children who have a parent in palliative care, particularly because of the nefarious presence of dominant grief discourse (DGD). Second, these same adult palliative care providers, who are often distressed when supporting children who have a dying parent, benefit when they get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Third, adult palliative care providers tend to see themselves as part of a larger interdisciplinary team that informs their interactions with children who have a parent in palliative care. The entire analysis is imbued with a critical perspective of DGD, including its race, gender and class dimensions. This critique of DGD is informed by Foucauldian interpretations of discourse, power and subjectivity. Opportunities for resistance and social justice are explored. In accordance with my own research paradigm, I make a concerted effort to render my influence as a researcher visible throughout. / Graduate / 0452 / ianbscott@gmail.com

Este trabalho procurou encontrar a hipótese correntemente veiculada de um modelo ou mesmo de políticas soltas keynesianas, durante as duas administrações presidenciais de Lula (2003-2010). O estudo observa que, embora adotando políticas sociais novas e includentes que podem conduzir a um Estado de Bem Estar Social, os governos de Lula utilizaram políticas keynesianas apenas de forma tática, para aliviar os defeitos do modelo neoliberal, no auge da crise (2008-2009). Os governos de Lula na visão desta pesquisa se caracterizaram por políticas de curto prazo imediatistas e conciliatórias, que ao contrário dos modelos keynesianos, não priorizaram o emprego e a elevação de renda dos trabalhadores. / This study sought to find a commonly circulated hypothesis of a model or even loose Keynesian policies during the two presidential administrations of Lula (2003-2010). The study notes that while adopting new and inclusive social policies that can lead to a state of Social Welfare, the governments of Lula used Keynesian policies only tactically, to alleviate the shortcomings of the neoliberal model, the height of the crisis (2008 - 2009). The governments of Lula - the vision of this research - were characterized by short-term policies immediacy and conciliatory, which unlike the Keynesian models, not prioritized employment and increased income workers.
