No. of bitstreams: 1 Ana Paula Dittgen da Silva.pdf: 2088679 bytes, checksum: fc2d78159db0d0a674c90fa6717596f3 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-06-21 / This dissertation presents as a central premise the analysis of the legal recognition and social esteem of the Senegalese immigrant in the southernmost part of Rio Grande do Sul, especially in the municipalities of Pelotas and Rio Grande. The concepts and theory of recognition from which the research rested upon derive from the writings of Axel Honneth in the book "The Struggle for Recognition: The Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts". Grounded on this approach, a theoretical framework is built to support a migratory policy that promotes social justice, which can be adopted at the municipal level, an area that is essential for the realization of the rights of the aforementioned group. Thus, a research is carried out around the Brazilian legislation and policies that dealt and deal with the migratory issue in the country, making it possible to estimate the degree of legal recognition of the Senegalese immigrant in its formal aspect. In addition to the abovementioned, we present the results of an empirical research that seeks to demonstrate the vision of the mentioned immigrants with respect to Brazilian laws and policies. The social esteem of this group is established from the categories that have been identified as socially relevant values that form, in Brazilian society, the axiological set that composes the social recognition of the Senegalese in Brazil, namely: the slavery of blacks in the country, racism, the locus of the African descendants in Rio Grande do Sul, territoriality, and xenophobia. Data collected from empirical research within Pelotas and Rio Grande help to identify the contours and intensity of this sphere of recognition. Finally, we investigate the need for the materialization of rights for effective legal recognition, as well as the possible strategies for raising the social recognition of a group. Considering the possibility that the increase of recognition in the legal sphere can influence the social esteem of the group affected by it, feasible paths are ultimately drawn for the construction of focused migratory policies of municipal scope capable of transforming the reality of the Senegalese immigrants, increasing their legal and social recognition. / Esta Tese apresenta como tema central a análise do reconhecimento jurídico e da estima social do imigrante senegalês no extremo sul do Rio Grande do Sul, especialmente nos municípios de Pelotas e de Rio Grande. Os conceitos e teoria do reconhecimento a partir dos quais se elaborou o roteiro da pesquisa são decorrentes dos escritos de Axel Honneth na obra “Luta por Reconhecimento: a gramática moral dos conflitos sociais”. A partir da referida abordagem, se constrói um arcabouço teórico capaz de fundamentar uma política migratória promotora de justiça social, possível de ser adotada em âmbito municipal, esfera que se compreende essencial para a concretização de direitos desse grupo. Assim, é realizada uma pesquisa em torno da legislação e políticas brasileiras que trataram e tratam a questão migratória no país, possibilitando a aferição do grau de reconhecimento jurídico do imigrante senegalês em seu aspecto formal. Além do aludido, traz-se os resultados de uma pesquisa empírica que busca demonstrar a visão dos mencionados imigrantes no tocante às leis e políticas brasileiras. A estima social desse grupo é averiguada a partir das categorias que foram identificadas como valores socialmente relevantes que formam, na sociedade brasileira, o conjunto axiológico que compõe o reconhecimento social dos senegaleses no Brasil, quais sejam: a escravidão dos negros no país, o racismo à brasileira, o papel do negro no Rio Grande do Sul, a territorialidade e a xenofobia. Os dados colhidos de pesquisa empírica com munícipes de Pelotas e Rio Grande auxiliam na identificação dos contornos e intensidade dessa esfera de reconhecimento. Por fim, investiga-se a necessidade de materialização de direitos para o efetivo reconhecimento jurídico, assim como as possíveis estratégias para a elevação do reconhecimento social de um grupo. Diante da possibilidade de que o aumento de reconhecimento na esfera jurídica possa influenciar a estima social do grupo afetado por aquele, traça-se ao final caminhos viáveis para a construção de políticas migratórias de âmbito municipal, focalizadas, capazes de transformar a realidade dos imigrantes senegaleses, aumentando o seu reconhecimento jurídico e social.

Evaluation through language is a procedure which is connected to contexts of situation and also to social rules that define the behavior of a group. Through investigations in Discourse Semantics, Martin and White (2005) argue that in some discoursive domains particular conventions of composition strongly determine the evaluative styles used by their authors. Drawn from the works of Fairclough (1995) about the journalistic discourse and orientations of Systemic Functional Grammar (HALLIDAY, 1989, 1994), this work intends to investigate, in the area of Discourse Semantics, the authorial or non-authorial linguistic manifestations of judgement, around the polemic expulsion of the journalist Larry Rohter, who had suggested the alcohol abuse of the Brazilian President. The initial hypothesis was that making any public judgement against the person of Luís Inácio Lula da Silva the authors would build them in terms of social sanctions and less as social esteem. To accomplish that, 153 news articles written by Brazilian journalists were gathered, from May 10th to June 10th, 2004, and published on the Internet, in on-line newspapers and on the Observatório da Imprensa . Its initial theme was an article published on The New York Times about the supposed Presidential alcoholic habits. After the corpus selection, the texts were divided into four blocks, related to the four moments perceived during the period. Furthermore, it was made a selection of all occurrences of judgement in relation to the president s behavior in each of the movements as authorial statements and as attributions. Finally, it was elaborated a typology of 5 judgements specially for the corpus analyzed, from the cross-chek of the Appraisal Theory (MARTIN e WHITE, 2005) and the parameters of evaluation of Bednarek (2006). After the corpus manual analysis, it was used the TextStat 1.52 computational tool to verify the data obtained. The results indicate that the five parameters found - CAPACITY, USUALITY, TENACITY, VERACITY and PROPERTY -, the authorial judgement indicates negative values of social esteem, especially USUALITY and CAPACITY, and less number of social sanctions (VERACITY and PROPERTY). As to the non-authorial judgements, it was observed more frequency of TENACITY values (social esteem) and PROPERTY (social sanction) organized in the form of direct speech, with neutral or assertive verbs, and evidences of CAPACITY and USUALITY (social esteem). From the case study, it can be concluded that article writers go beyond the voice of the correspondent, but they do not reach the voice of the commentator, because there are constraints on social sanction judgements. / Fazer avaliações através da linguagem é um procedimento que está vinculado a contextos de situação e a normas sociais que regem o comportamento de um grupo. Através de investigações em Semântica do Discurso, Martin e White (2005) defendem que, em alguns domínios discursivos, convenções particulares de composição condicionam fortemente os estilos avaliativos empregados pelos escritores. A partir dos trabalhos de Fairclough (1995) sobre o discurso jornalístico e das orientações da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY, 1989, 1994), este trabalho pretende investigar, na área da Semântica do Discurso, as manifestações lingüísticas de julgamento, tanto autoral quanto não-autoral, em torno da polêmica expulsão do jornalista Larry Rohter, que havia sugerido que o Presidente do Brasil abusava da bebida. A hipótese inicial era a de que, ao registrarem julgamentos públicos quanto à pessoa de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva, os autores os construiriam em termos de sanção social, em preferência aos de estima social. Para isso, foram reunidos 153 artigos escritos por jornalistas brasileiros, no período de 10 de maio a 10 de junho de 2004, e publicados na internet, em jornais on-line e no Observatório da Imprensa, cujo tema inicial foi uma reportagem publicada no jornal The New York Times, acerca de supostos hábitos etílicos do Presidente da República. Após a seleção do corpus, os textos foram agrupados em quatro blocos, equivalentes aos quatro momentos percebidos durante o período. A seguir, foi feito o levantamento de todas as ocorrências de julgamento em relação ao comportamento do Presidente em 3 cada uma das fases, tanto em declarações autorais quanto em atribuições. Por fim, buscou-se elaborar uma tipologia de julgamentos específica para o corpus em questão, a partir do cruzamento entre a Teoria da Valoração (MARTIN e WHITE, 2005; WHITE; 2004) e os recursos de avaliação de Bednarek (2006). Após a análise manual do corpus, foi utilizada a ferramenta computacional TextStat 1.52, para a verificação dos dados obtidos. Os resultados indicam que, dos cinco recursos encontrados CAPACIDADE, USUALIDADE, TENACIDADE, VERACIDADE e PROPRIEDADE -, os julgamentos autorais indicam valores negativos de estima social, especialmente USUALIDADE e CAPACIDADE, e em menor número valores de sanção social (VERACIDADE e PROPRIEDADE). Quanto aos julgamentos nãoautorais, observou-se maior freqüência de valores de TENACIDADE (estima social) e de PROPRIEDADE (sanção social) organizados em forma de discurso direto, com verbos neutros ou assertivos, e várias ocorrências de CAPACIDADE e USUALIDADE (estima social). O estudo de caso levou à conclusão de que a voz do articulista ultrapassa a voz do correspondente, mas não atinge a voz do comentarista, pois os julgamentos de sanção social não são totalmente livres.

Market Liquidity, Active Investment, and Markets for Information. This paper studies a financial market in which investors choose among investment strategies that exploit information about different fundamentals. On the one hand, the presence of other informed investors generates illiquidity. On the other hand, investors who use different strategies can serve as quasi-noise traders for each other, thereby also supplying each other with liquidity. Thus, investment strategies can be substitutes or complements. Such externalities in information acquisition have effects on investor herding, comovement in prices and liquidity across assets, trade volume, and the informational role of prices. They further affect the relationship between financial markets and information markets. Information market competition fosters investor diversity, whereas monopoly power promotes investor herding. Also, in order to benefit from quasi-noise trading, a financial institution may engage in both proprietary trading and information sales. Security-Voting Structure and Bidder Screening. This paper shows that non-voting shares can promote takeovers. When the bidder has private information, shareholders may refuse to tender because they suspect to sell at an ex-post unfavourable price. The ensuing friction in the sale of cash flow rights can prevent an efficient sale of control. Separating cash flow and voting rights mitigates this externality, thereby facilitating takeovers. In fact, the fraction of non-voting shares can be used to discriminate between efficient and inefficient bidders. The optimal fraction decreases with managerial ability, implying an inverse relationship between firm value and non-voting shares. As non-voting shares increase control contestability, share reunification programs entrench managers of widely held firms, whereas dual-class recapitalizations can increase shareholder wealth. Signaling in Tender Offer Games. This paper examines whether a bidder can use the terms of the tender offer to signal the post-takeover security benefits to the shareholders of a widely held target firm. As atomistic shareholders extract all the gains in security benefits, signaling equilibria are subject to a constraint that is absent from bilateral trade models. The buyer (bidder) must enjoy gains from trade that are excluded from bargaining (private benefits), but can nonetheless be relinquished and enable shareholders to draw inference about the security benefits. Restricted bids and cash-equity offers do not satisfy these requirements. Dilution, debt financing, probabilistic takeover outcomes and toeholds are all viable signals because they make bidder gains depend on the security benefits in a predictable manner. In all the signaling equilibria, lower-valued types must forgo a larger fraction of their private benefits and these signaling costs prevent some takeovers. When the bidder has additional private information about the private benefits as in the case of two-dimensional bidder types, fully revealing equilibria cease to exist. This does not hold once bidders can offer not only cash or equity but also (more) elaborate contingent claims. Offers which include options avoid inefficiencies and implement the symmetric information outcome. Goldrush Dynamics of Private Equity. This paper presents a simple dynamic model of entry and exit in a private equity market with heterogeneous private equity firms, a depletable stock of target companies, and rational learning about investment profitability. The predictions of the model match a number of stylized facts: Aggregate fund activity follows waves with endogenous transitions from boom to bust. Supply and demand in the private equity market are inelastic, and the supply comoves with investment valuations. High industry performance precedes high entry, which in turn precedes low industry performance. There are persistent differences in fund performance across private equity firms, first-time funds underperform the industry, and first-time funds raised in booms are unlikely to be succeeded by a follow-on fund. Fund performance and fund size are positively correlated across firms, but negatively correlated across consecutive funds of a private equity firm. Finally, booms can make ”too much capital chase too few deals.” Reputable Friends as Watchdogs: Social Ties and Governance. To examine how governance is affected when a designated supervisor befriends the person to be supervised, this paper embeds a delegated monitoring problem in a social structure: the supervisor and the agent are friends, and the supervisor desires to be socially recognized for having integrity. Strengthening the friendship weakens the supervisor’s monitoring incentives, forging an alliance against the principal (bonding). But the agent also grows more reluctant to put the supervisor’s perceived integrity at risk, thus becoming more aligned with the principal (bridging). If the supervisor’s desire for social recognition is strong, the principal’s preferences regarding the supervisor-agent friendship are bipolar. Weak friendship makes the supervisor monitor intensively to save face. Strong friendship leads the supervisor to abandon monitoring but the agent to behave well in order to protect the supervisor from losing face. The strength of friendship necessary for the latter outcome decreases in the supervisor’s desire for esteem; that is, image concerns leverage the bridging effect of friendship. This suggests that overlapping personal and professional ties can enhance delegated governance in cultures or contexts where social recognition is important, and provides a novel perspective on issues related to crony capitalism, corporate governance, and organizational culture. / Diss.
