The Jumano Indians of Texas have long been an enigma in Texas history and archeology. Many researchers from both disciplines have sought to connect the historic accounts with those of archeological assemblages, but have largely been unsuccessful. Part of the problem has been that the records tend to present problematic issues and very little information in the way of material culture. Another problem has been the tendency among archaeologists in the state to continue to lump site assemblages into larger analytical units, which in effect acts to homogenize any variability that would lend a better understanding of behavioral aspects. Recent efforts in the area of identity and social fields have opened new possibilities. Along these lines this report uses the ethnohistoric data on the Jumano to construct a frame of reference to define the Jumano identity and social field. Using the variability embedded in the Cielo Complex as a model, several sites within the Jumano range were identified for further investigation. / text

The problem this dissertation engages with is the role of state-defined pathways available for ‘legal’ Caribbean migrants to South Africa, to effectively become South African citizens through practices of assimilation; enabling them to claim citizenship, and thus belonging to a new national community. The concept of a singular, state-defined citizen, a conception that has dominated academic debates over the last hundreds of years, is today challenged by the activities and presence of migrants from everywhere in nearly every place. This new and contemporary dynamic is prompting scholars to conceptualise other images of belonging, images that transcend, move beyond, stretch and displace the centrality of national borders in defining citizenship. One view shifts the source of citizenship rights from the state to the individual, bringing to the fore a cosmopolitan or post-national citizenship. Conversations concerning the significance, or lack thereof, of the state in migration share a tendency to analyse migration from the macro-level that the state represents and interpret individual actions and outcomes from that point of view. In this dissertation I address the problem by investigating the lived experiences of immigrants, and analysing from the micro-level of individuals and their families, in order to understand their relationship to the meso- and macro-levels available within the wider society. In the process, I illuminate the pathways that are available to ‘legal’ Caribbean migrants as they seek to deepen their belonging to a new national community whilst retaining their connections to other national and transnational communities. / Dissertation (MSocSci)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Anthropology and Archaeology / MSocSci / Unrestricted

This study analyses differences between student groups at Umeå University, Sweden, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. It analyses student study situations, students’ experience of the university environment, students’ exercise and sports activities, and connections between study and leisure-time activities. The study owes much to Bourdieu’s Homo Academicus (English edition 1988), and his theories of cultural reproduction, social structures and habitus, and focuses on students from the subject areas teacher education, natural sciences, humanities and sports. Attention is also given to family backgrounds and female/male variance. The data were collected in 1994-1995, with the aid of 782 questionnaires and 64 interviews. The results show differences between students at the two universities in terms of study time, parents’ education and leisure activities and part-time jobs. Students in the studied groups, differ in many respects. The groups have distinct characteristics in terms of, for example, age and sex ratios. The students’ family backgrounds are also divergent, depending on which discipline the student belongs to. These variations between disciplines are found at both universities. Physical activities (action sports) are popular activities, at both universities. Women and men exercise in different ways, although they might have a similar social situation. The scientific methodology of Bourdieu is also discussed in the study. In sum, the results indicate that there are sub-fields within the university. Individuals with different conditions and habitus, to use Bourdieu’s terminology, inhabit these sub-fields.

Para tanto, há a necessidade de estabelecer relações entre os processos de formação de leitura, a partir da cultura local das professoras alfabetizadoras da escola em questão, e as práticas de ensino que envolvem letramentos escolares por elas praticadas. Nessas ações, há dificuldade de reconhecer os saberes da cultura local como objetos de ensino, mesmo que eles estejam hibridizados com os saberes legitimados pelo currículo oficial da escola e façam parte da constituição histórica de leitura das professoras. Daí a problematização e a análise desse processo de constituição de leitura, para desenvolver uma pesquisa que possa conjugar os subsídios da Linguística Aplicada - especificamente, o enfoque dos Estudos de Letramento, aliada/o à teoria da prática bourdieusiana, reinterpretada por Bernard Lahire ([1998] 2000) e Williams Hanks (2008), a uma metodologia que assume a palavra como um signo social ideológico (BAKHTIN [VOLOSHINOV] [1979] 2004). A metodologia de pesquisa, além da observação de tipo etnográfica, utiliza entrevistas para a geração de narrativas escritas e orais sobre o processo de formação de leitura nos campos sociais educacionais de socialização primária - escola e a família; e secundária - academia e escola como local de trabalho. A abrangência do estudo, com a inserção no cotidiano pedagógico da escola SN por meio de intervenções colaborativas nas ações das professoras alfabetizadoras, possibilitou uma reflexão na prática, demonstrando o habitus linguístico das professoras não só por meio das percepções e posicionamentos incorporados e ocupados por elas, como também pela tomada de novos posicionamentos no campo social educacional. Em termos objetivos, a pesquisa visa a contribuir para a compreensão das ações das professoras alfabetizadoras que envolvem os letramentos na instância escolar no espaço amazônico e agenciar reflexões sobre o processo geral de formação de leitura do professor / Abstract: The main purpose of this research is to investigate the process of becoming a reader in a group of primary school teachers. The teachers work in a public school situated at the Condor quarter, in the periphery of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil. In the reading activities of these subjects, object of an ethnographic observation, it is difficult to recognize the local culture as an object of teaching, whether it is hibridizyded or not with legitimate knowledge, as authorized by the official curriculum, although this culture is part of the teachers' history of literacy. In order to analyze the teachers's reading acquisition process, we start from the approach known as New Literacy Studies, which take literacy as a situated social practice, and we complement it with Bourdieu's theory of practice, as refined by Bernard Lahire and Williams Hanks, in a interdisciplinary perspective of Applied Linguistics. Besides the ethnographic observation, the research methodology, uses interviews for the generation of written and oral narratives that focus on the teachers' reading formation process in the educational social fields of primary socialization - school and family, and secondary socialization - academy and school as work place. The scope of the study, with daily accompaniment of the school SN through collaborative interventions with teachers, made possible a reflection in practice, demonstrating the teachers' linguistic habitus through their perceptions and positionings in the educational social field. In objectiveterms, the research seeks to contribute to the understanding of the teachers' actions that involve school literacies in the Amazon area and to reflect about the teachers' reading formation processes / Doutorado / Lingua Materna / Doutor em Linguística Aplicada

Dada a multiplicidade de agentes envolvidos na trajetória da inovação, identificados no estudo de caso, pretende mostrar que o processo da invenção requer modos diferenciados de interações comunicacionais para que o deslocamento do laboratório para a sociedade possa transformar o invento em inovação. Desta forma, desenha o espaço social da inovação tecnológica, oriunda de pesquisas químicas e farmacológicas, permeada por aspectos culturais, políticos, simbólicos e midiáticos. Inspirada pela indagação de como as interações se realizam na disputa de sentidos e interesses da inovação, a tese tenciona verificar como a comunicação midiática agiu neste espaço e o que os aspectos midiáticos fazem do invento científico.

Due to the multiplicity of agents involved in the course of innovation, which are identified in the study case, this thesis intends to show that the invention process requires differentiated ways of communicational interactions so that the relocation from laboratory to society may transform the invention into innovation. Thus, it designs the social space of the technological innovation that comes from chemical and pharmacological researches, and which is permeated into cultural, political, symbolic and media aspects. Inspired by the wondering of how interactions take place in the dispute of innovation meanings and interests, the thesis intends to verify how media communication has acted in such space and what media aspects do to scientific invention.

A análise é feita por meio da descrição dos elementos do campo - sujeitos coletivos, estrutura e estratégias - e da reconstituição, ainda provisória, de sua história social e dos seus processos de (re) produção. A análise privilegia o estudo das mutações e da trajetória conflituosa do campo; bem como suas interações com três campos considerados suas vertentes sociais: Produção, Educação e Estado. A ênfase foi dada à compreensão do funcionamento do campo, em particular nas suas conexões com as transformações sociais recentes, seja pela reflexão das questões mais gerais da sociedade no seu interior, seja pela extrapolação dos seus limites, com a qualificação contribuindo para a legitimação hegemônica mais geral. Também se tentou compreender a possibilidade de processos contra hegemônicos, em termos da construção de estratégias de resistência e reelaboração, voltadas para a emancipação, pelos sujeitos sociais não dominantes. Para tanto, a tese apresenta cenários, a partir de três grandes processos que se intercruzam: a globalização, a reestruturação produtiva e a reforma do Estado e procura utilizar criticamente por meio da reelaboração e/ou apropriação de bases conceituais amplas, como o conceito de hegemonia e Estado de Antonio Gramsci; os conceitos e noções desenvolvidos pela sociologia de Pierre Bourdieu, pela geografia de Milton Santos e pela pedagogia de Paulo Freire. A tese também introduz novas noções operatórias no âmbito da Teoria do Campo Social –vertentes sociais, linhas de força e tensores – e resignifica outras – terrenos e polos. Tanto quanto a procura de respostas questões elencadas anteriormente, configurou-se um importante objetivo da pesquisa realizada iniciar o desenvolvimento de uma metodologia de análise de campo, que permita não apenas uma rápida e precisa compreensão do papel e dos interesses dos sujeitos coletivos e das relações já estabelecidas, mas, sobretudo da compreensão da dinâmica do campo, permitindo o acompanhamento posterior do desenvolvimento das suas relações externas e internas. Ao mesmo tempo tal metodologia poderá potencializar as possibilidades de socialização deste conhecimento para os sujeitos do polo não hegemônico. Entretanto, se alcançar os objetivos específicos da pesquisa foi factível, não se têm dúvida de que seu objetivo mais geral está além do tempo e espaço do doutorado, e pavimentam uma estrada para novas pesquisas, a serem trilhadas por aqueles e aquelas que só compreendem a construção de conhecimento como um processo coletivo e quando ele contribui para resolver problemas concretos dos excluídos e da maioria que vive do trabalho. / ABSTRACT The thesis analyzes the relations between work and education and the vocational training in the contemporary Brazil by means of the description, in relational bases, of the social space where collective subjects develop practical‟s and relations relative to the qualification, being that such space constitutes, according to author, a bourdieusian social field, called, in the thesis, of field Qualification. The analysis is made by means of the description of the elements of the field –collective subjects, structure and strategies –and of the reconstitution, still provisory, of its social history and of its processes of (re) production. The analysis privileges the study of the mutations and the conflictuous trajectory of the field, as well as its interactions with three fields considered its “social slopes”: Production, Education and State. The emphasis was given to the understanding of the functioning of the field, in particular in its connections with the recent social transformations, either for the reflection of the questions most general of the society in its interior, and either for the surpassing of its limits, with the qualification contributing for the more general hegemonic legitimation. Also it was tried to understand the possibility of process against hegemonic, in terms of the construction of strategies of resistance and re elaboration, come back toward the emancipation, for not dominant social subjects. For in such a way, the theses presents scenes, from three greats processes that they intercross: the globalization, the productive restructuration and reform of the State and look for criticizing to use by means of the re elaboration and/or appropriation of ample conceptual bases, as the concept of hegemony and State of Antonio Gramsci, the concepts and notions developed for the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu, the geography of Milton Santos the pedagogy of Paulo Freire. The theses also introduces new operatory notions in the scope of the Theory of Social Field –“social slope”, “lines of force” and “tensors”and resignificant others – “terrain” and “‟pole”. As much how much the search of answers to the mentioned questions previously, configured an important objective of the carried through research to initiate the development of a methodology of field analysis. This in the direction to allow not only a fast and precise understanding the paper and the interests of the collective subjects and the established relations already, but, over all of the understanding of the dynamics of the field, allowing the posterior accompaniment of the development of its external and internal relations. At the same time such methodology will be able to potentially the possibilities of socialization of this knowledge for the subjects of the nothegemonic pole. However, if to reach the specific objectives of the research was feasible, they do not have doubt of that its more general objective is beyond the time and space of the doctorate. However, they pave a road for new research, to be trod for all that only understand the knowledge construction as a collective process and when it contributes to resolve concrete problems of the excluded ones and of the majority that-lives-of-the-work.
