The purpose of this thesis is to illuminate how the Swedish peasantry was perceived by the Swedish Burgher, Clerical, and Noble Estates during the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. By studying the Diet protocols of each Estate from three Diets, and by applying the concept of social imaginary, it considers what a peasant was perceived to be, who was perceived to be a peasant, and how these perceptions changed. The period under investigation is a time when the orders of society began to change and the peasantry underwent a process of radicalization. It is also a time when the way people perceived themselves changed, from a perception of “the self” heavily influenced by the collective, to a more individualistic one. These circumstances made the Estates question the traditional ideal of what a peasant was, re-writing the social script of the peasantry to include new attributes, duties, and virtues than it did a century earlier. Three main categories are used and aims at exploring the peasantry’s perceived social dignity, political role, and economic function, each representing its respective order in estate society. The study has shown how the Estates perceived peasants to be simple, uneducated, and foolish in the early stages of the Age of Liberty (1718–1772), and that the social dignity of a peasant was fundamental in conceptualizing what and who a peasant was. This changed towards the end of the century and became much more diverse and complex during the early nineteenth century. By the early 1820’s, the Noble and Clerical Estates perceived them as competent, responsible, and as being capable of betterment and upward mobility in a spiritual and worldly sense. The Burgher Estate perceived them as self-righteous, rustic, and intrusive as they had begun to invade their cities, steeling their livelihood, and thus threatening their entire existence as an estate. The economic transformations of the period also proved how the economic function of the peasantry was now to a larger degree emphasized as the determinative factor of what social dignity and political role they should have. / <p>The author has changed name to Jakob Starlander.</p>

The past few years have seen a renewed critical interest in the vampires and vampirism of English literature, owing both to their growing influence in popular culture and a more inclusive reordering of the literary canon. Much of this recent work has typically approached vampirism through a psychoanalytic lens inherited from Gothic criticism, characterized by a dependence on Freud, Lacan, and Foucault, and often by a model of crisis in which these supernatural figures of terror are supposed to symbolize cultural anxieties with varying degrees of historicity. This dissertation builds upon the narrative of secularization set out in Charles Taylor’s recent work, A Secular Age, to answer the need for a new and alternative narrative of what function the vampire serves within English literature, and how it came to prominence there. The literary history of vampirism is reconsidered in light of the new sociological observations made by Taylor, hinging upon two key methodological principles: first, that Taylor’s new secularization narrative has the potential to reshape the way we think of literature in general and our literary relationship to the supernatural in particular; and second, that the fiction generated during this period of upheaval has much more to tell us about secularization, broadening our understanding of the ideological shifts and changing relationships to the supernatural that brought forth this uniquely modern monster in literature. / Graduate / 0593 / 0318 / 0358 / glukemaynard@gmail.com

Le travail consiste à articuler la question de l'amour avec celle de l'époque à partir de la catégorie de discours telle qu'elle a été proposée par Lacan. Ceci afin de repérer les incidences du lien social contemporain - dans sa double détermination par les logiques consuméristes et marchandes et par le discours de la science - sur les liens amoureux. / Based on the works of Jacques Lacan and Cornelius Castoriadis, we propose an articulation of structure and history in order to build a psychoanalytic approach of the impacts of our era — in its dual determination by consumerist market logic, and the scientific discourse — on loving relationships. We have been able to propose a psychoanalytic, structural and historical approach of the causes, the conditions and consequences of indifference to things of love induced by capitalist discourse structure and the socio-historical purview witch is linked to it.

El hedonismo y los Centennials son dos palabras que convergen para crear una actualidad en la que se ha banalizado el sexo y se han creado diversas nuevas formas de comunicación que se basa en características fijas de los adolescentes de hoy. Este trabajo pretende dar a entender la manifestación del hedonismo en la construcción de los personajes Centennial, retratado por la serie Sex Education, y justificada en las bases del imaginario social de sus personajes y la evolución de los mismos. En este sentido los objetivos específicos apuntan, en primer lugar, a la identificación de los personajes centennials y su relación con el hedonismo; en segundo lugar, la identificación de la construcción del personaje con respecto a su identidad y su contexto. La investigación aporta diferentes perspectivas sobre la presencia del hedonismo en la nueva generación y los efectos que genera en sus relaciones sociales y su mundo imaginario. Se analizan 5 de 8 capítulos de la primera temporada de la serie Sex Education, escogidos según los criterios estudiados como la utilización de estereotipos para la construcción de personajes y la evolución de personajes según proceso evolutivo y relación con un problema sexual. / Hedonism and Centennials are two words that converge to create an actuality in which sex has been trivialized and diverse new forms of communication have been created based on fixed characteristics of today's adolescents. This work aims to show the manifestation of hedonism in the construction of the Centennial characters, portrayed by the Sex Education series, and justified on the basis of the social imaginary of characters and their evolution. In this sense, the specific objectives are, firstly, the identification of the centennial characters and their relationship with hedonism; secondly, the identification of the character's construction with respect to its identity and context. The research provides different perspectives on the presence of hedonism in the new generation and the effects it generates in their social relations and their imaginary world. Five out of eight chapters of the first season of the Sex education series are analysed, chosen according to the criteria studied, such as the use of stereotypes for the construction of characters and the evolution of characters according to the evolutionary process and their relationship with a sexual problem. / Trabajo de investigación

Depuis 1989, le nationalisme est progressivement redevenu un thème discursif majeur dans les espaces publics et politiques européens. Le nationalisme s’est alors « banalisé » (selon l’expression de Michael Billig), reléguant le complexe des histoires sociales à de simples altérités culturelles. Les tensions sociale et symbolique ainsi produites trouvent leur origine commune dans les discours nationalistes centrés autour de l’Etat et des institutions nationales. Percevant une remise en cause en présence d’altérités multiples, il apparait que le discours dominant sur les identités nationales œuvre à reproduire une continuité de valeurs et des histoires nationales traditionnelles. Cette étude transversale a pour but de présenter une analyse social-historique de l’endurance des imaginaires nationaux et du paradigme moderne d’exclusion qu’ils entretiennent. En élaborant un cadre théorique sous la forme d’un système ouvert (Edgar Morin) pour exprimer les relations complexes entre les textes, l’idéologie et l’imaginaire social, le but de la thèse est l’analyse de la dynamique de promotion, d’expression et de contestation symbolique – des négociations de signification sociale – des imaginaires nationaux. C’est dans ce cadre que, à travers l’étude de textes exprimant certaines de ces négociations, que sont articulées la formation et la consolidation des imaginaires nationaux britannique, français et polonais pendant la période moderne. L’analyse est ensuite centrée sur des discours de dirigeants politiques britanniques, français et polonais entre 2004 et 2009, mis en contraste par l’analyse de textes de la culture populaire contemporaine. / Since 1989, nationalism has once again become a major discursive theme in European public and political spaces. Nationalism has thus become “banalised” (according to Michael Billig), relegating the complexities of social histories to mere cultural ‘Others’. The common origin of the resulting social and symbolical tensions can be found in the promotion of State-centred nationalist discourses. The dominant discourse on national identity aims for the reproduction of a continuity of traditional national values and histories in reaction to the threat it perceives in the presence of multiple ‘Others’. This transversal study presents a social-historical analysis of the endurance of national imaginaries and of the modern paradigm of exclusion they reproduce. By elaborating a theoretical framework as an open system (Edgar Morin) to make sense of the complex relations between texts, ideology and the social imaginary, the aim of the thesis is the analysis of the dynamic symbolic promotion, expression and contestation – negotiations of social signification – of national imaginaries. Basing on the study of texts expressing these negotiations, the formation and consolidation of British, French and Polish national imaginaries in the late modern period is articulated through this framework. The analysis then focuses on mainstream political discourses in Britain, France and Poland between 2004 and 2009 which is contrasted with the analysis of contemporary texts of popular culture.

Articulation happens around fieldwork constituted by individual encounters, with teachers of elementary and high school education, during which the procedure of picture story with a topic was used as a dialogic mediator. Psychoanalytical narratives from these encounters allowed a comprehensive elaboration of the communications obtained, from which are distinguished unconscious fields organizers of the imaginary: abandonment, lies, the uncanny and the psychopathology. Abandonment is inserted in a net that finds, in the issues of delivery of the child for adoption and in the experiences of helplessness and rejection, other significant knots. Lies are connected to the conducts of hiding the story of the adoption and the family truths. The uncanny seems to be projected in the adoption as a form of leaning over the unknown, possibly in consonance to the dimensions feared of self. At last, the last campo points to the phenomenon of creation of psychopathological theories, through which insuperable emotional frailties are attributed to the adopted children. Such verifications make us question ethically the current social practices prevalent regarding the adopted child. / A presente investiga??o insere-se num conjunto de pesquisas psicanal?ticas sobre o imagin?rio social, focalizando a problem?tica da ado??o. Articula-se ao redor de trabalho de campo constitu?do por encontros individuais, com professores de ensino fundamental e m?dio, durante os quais o procedimento de desenhos-est?rias com tema foi utilizado como mediador dial?gico. Narrativas psicanal?ticas destes encontros permitiram uma elabora??o compreensiva das comunica??es obtidas, a partir da qual s?o destacados campos inconscientes organizadores do imagin?rio: o abandono, a mentira, o estranho e a psicopatologia. O abandono insere-se numa rede que encontra, nas quest?es da entrega da crian?a para ado??o e nas experi?ncias de desamparo e rejei??o, outros n?s significativos. A mentira liga-se ?s condutas de oculta??o da hist?ria de ado??o e das verdades da fam?lia. O estranho aparece projetado na ado??o como forma de debru?arse sobre o desconhecido, possivelmente em conson?ncia com dimens?es temidas de self. Por fim, o ?ltimo campo aponta para o fen?meno da cria??o de teorias psicopatol?gicas, pelas quais fragilidades emocionais insuper?veis s?o atribu?das ?s crian?as adotivas. Tais constata??es fazem-nos questionar eticamente as pr?ticas sociais atualmente prevalentes frente ? crian?a adotiva.

It came to the village of Taubaté by a route used for internal commerce, mainly gold, between Minas Gerais and the Vale do Paraíba. In Taubaté, there was a rural neighborhood called Vale do Itaim that, from the arrival of the image around 1750 and because of the great devotion raised, now it is called neighborhood Nossa Senhora dos Remédios or, as the local people say, Remédios. From the assumption that Our Lady of Remedies belongs to the cultural imagination of the local population, the purpose of this research is understand how it is constructed and how it operates religious social imaginary in the neighborhood. For this we use authors as Claude Levi-Strauss, Marcel Mauss, Mircea Eliade, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, among others, as well as newspapers of the nineteenth century and interviews with local residents in order to see how this Christian myth and their meanings act in the system beliefs of Our Lady of Remedies neighborhood population / A devoção a Nossa Senhora dos Remédios saiu de Portugal e aportou em terras brasileiras por volta do século XVIII. Chegou a então vila de Taubaté por um caminho de comércio interno, principalmente ouro, entre Minas Gerais e o Vale do Paraíba. Em Taubaté, havia um bairro rural chamado Vale do Itaim que, a partir da chegada da imagem por volta de 1750 e devido a grande devoção que suscitou, passou a ser chamado bairro Nossa Senhora dos Remédios ou, como dizem, bairro dos Remédios. A partir do pressuposto de que Nossa Senhora dos Remédios pertence ao imaginário cultural da população local, a proposta desta pesquisa é procurar compreender como é construído e como atua o imaginário social religioso no bairro. Para tanto utilizamos autores como Claude Lévi-Strauss, Marcel Mauss, Mircea Eliade, Pierre Bourdieu, Michel Foucault, entre outros, além de jornais do século XIX e entrevistas com moradores locais a fim de verificar como este mito cristão e seus significados atuam no sistema de crenças da população do bairro Nossa Senhora dos Remédios

The research moves between two fields of knowledge, Religious Studies and Theology. The text, in principle, focuses on the Religious Reformed Movement of the sixteenth century, describing the synthesis in Calvin s thought, especially his understanding of worship. We also make an examination of the evolution, or modification, of Calvin's theology of worship, particularly in England, Scotland and the USA, together with a comparative analysis of the Genevan Calvinist Worship and Puritan Worship, showing that the second, with its individualistic theological nuances, modified the first, and thus significantly gave special contribution to individualism seen in the liturgy of the contemporary Calvinist worship, and influenced in building the social imaginary of the followers of this branch of Calvinism and its heirs. / Essa dissertação apresenta um estudo sobre a teologia do culto proposta por João Calvino, buscando ressaltar os aspectos que salientem a preponderância da coletividade em relação a individualidade vista no culto contemporâneo, e, sempre que possível, pontuando as razões pelas quais o reformador primou por enfase no coletivo. A pesquisa transita entre dois campos do conhecimento, o das ciências da religião e o da teologia. O texto, em princípio, retroage ao movimento de Reforma do século XVI, definindo em Calvino a síntese do pensamento reformado, especialmente seu entendimento de culto. Também é feito um exame sobre a evolução, e modificação, da teologia do culto de Calvino, particularmente na Inglaterra, Escócia e EUA. Faz-se, também, uma analise comparativa dos cultos calvinistas puritano e genebrino, mostrando que o primeiro, com suas nuances teológicas individualistas, modificou o segundo e, assim, contribiu significativamente para o individualismo visto na liturgia do culto calvinista contemporâneo, bem como influenciou na construção do imaginário social dos seguidores desse ramo do calvinismo e dos seus herdeiros.

This paper has been developed in the research line called Teachers Education, Knowledge and Professional Development, of the Post-Graduation Program in Education, at the Federal University of Santa Maria. It has attempted an approximation to imaginary significations and knowledge constructed throughout the life of a blind literacy class teacher. The main theoretical references have included the social imaginary, teacher s knowledge, the visual deficiency and the use of life histories as research sources. To carry out this study, the qualitative approach and the biographical method of life history have been employed to search for this teacher s history of knowledge construction and imaginary significations, through her autobiographical narratives and memories of her experiences as a blind literacy class teacher who has worked with the Braille system. From social imaginary theoretical contributions, it has been concluded that the subject of this research mobilizes her students, peers, school and the Association of Blind People to establish instituting significations, so as to show, from her life experience, some possibilities of instituted significations, which deny possibilities of professional exercise to the visual impaired and which, in a certain way, prevent both their social inclusion and total citizenship. In relation to the teacher s knowledge, it was verified that this knowledge is built through both personal and teaching experiences. Because of that, personal and experiential knowledge has prevailed. This research has also pointed out specific issues related to educational aspects of visual impairment, such as literacy through the Braille system, orientation and mobility, and use of specific resources. This study has enabled this life history, in its singularity, to contribute towards new proposals in terms of teachers education, teaching as a profession, and inclusion. / Este trabalho desenvolveu-se dentro da linha de pesquisa Formação de Professores, Saberes e Desenvolvimento Profissional do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria. Constitui-se na busca de aproximação das significações imaginárias e dos saberes construídos na trajetória de vida de uma alfabetizadora cega. As principais interlocuções teóricas contemplam o imaginário social, os saberes docentes, a deficiência visual e a utilização das histórias de vida como fonte de pesquisa. Para a realização do estudo, lançou-se mão da voz da alfabetizadora, utilizando-se a abordagem qualitativa e o método biográfico história de vida para, através de narrativas autobiográficas, buscar nas memórias dessa professora a história da construção de seus saberes e significações imaginárias construídas ao longo da sua trajetória como alfabetizadora com o sistema Braille. A partir das interlocuções teóricas do imaginário social, conclui-se que a interlocutora da pesquisa mobiliza alunos, colegas, escola e a Associação de Cegos para instaurar significações instituintes, no sentido de mostrar, através de sua trajetória de vida, possibilidades de exercício profissional, de inclusão social e de conquista da cidadania plena. Com relação aos saberes docentes, constatou-se que estes são construídos nas vivências pessoais e na experiência docente da interlocutora, por isso, predominam em sua prática os saberes experienciais e os saberes pessoais. A pesquisa também apontou questões específicas relacionadas aos aspectos educacionais da deficiência visual, como a alfabetização pelo sistema Braille, a orientação e mobilidade, bem como a utilização de recursos específicos. Este estudo contribuiu para que essa história de vida, na sua singularidade, colabore para a elaboração de novas propostas sobre a formação de professores, sobre a profissão docente e sobre a inclusão.
