CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Esta pesquisa foi motivada pela necessidade de compreender o problema da artificializaÃÃo sofrida pela lÃngua escrita quando à tomada como objeto de ensinoaprendizagem no contexto escolar. Investigou como a produÃÃo de um jornal escolar pode contribuir para uma adequada escolarizaÃÃo dos usos e funÃÃes sociais da lÃngua escrita e, consequentemente, minimizar esse problema no Ãmbito do ensino fundamental. Os objetivos centrais da pesquisa consistiram em analisar como a produÃÃo de jornais escolares configura uma atividade de linguagem, conforme descrita pela Teoria da Atividade, de Leontiev, e em identificar quais usos e funÃÃes sociais atribuÃdas à lÃngua escrita emergiram no contexto dessa atividade. Os referenciais teÃrico-metodolÃgicos que deram suporte à investigaÃÃo consistiram em estudos sobre usos e funÃÃes sociais da lÃngua escrita, o jornal escolar e Teoria da Atividade. Os dados coligidos mediante o emprego de tÃcnicas como observaÃÃo direta, anÃlise documental, entrevistas semi-estruturadas e de explicitaÃÃo evidenciaram que a produÃÃo do jornal escolar implicou a leitura e/ou produÃÃo de artigos informativos e opinativos, editoriais, entrevistas, mensagens, anÃncios, etc. No contexto da atividade investigada, a leitura e/ou produÃÃo de tais gÃneros exerciam as funÃÃes de convencer/conscientizar; comunicar impressÃes e pontos de vista; noticiar fatos e eventos; prestar contas; promover comunicaÃÃo interpessoal; vender produtos e serviÃos; fornecer suporte à memÃria; orientar a observÃncia de normas e regulamentos; orientar/sistematizar a realizaÃÃo de uma aÃÃo; formalizar registros permanentes; comprovar fatos e acontecimentos, dentre outras. Os resultados demonstram a importÃncia da produÃÃo de jornais escolares como alternativa metodolÃgica para o ensino dos usos e funÃÃes sociais da lÃngua escrita de forma significativa e contextualizada, contribuindo para minimizar a artificialidade das prÃticas de ensino da lÃngua escrita no contexto escolar. Como a investigaÃÃo focalizou a produÃÃo de jornais cujas matÃrias eram produzidas como atividade extra-classe, sugere-se a ampliaÃÃo e aprofundamento do estudo por meio de uma pesquisa-intervenÃÃo em que o jornal escolar seja produzido como atividade pedagÃgica desenvolvida conjuntamente por professores e alunos, como parte das atividades curriculares. / This research was motivated by the need to understand the problem of artificiality suffered by written language when taken as the object of teaching and learning in the school context. It investigated how the production of a school newspaper can contribute to an adequate schooling of the social uses and functions of the written language, and subsequently minimize the problem in the context of elementary school. The central objectives of the research consisted in analyzing how the production of school newspapers can configure a language activity, as defined by the Activity Theory by Leontiev, and identifying which social uses and functions attributed to the written language have emerged in the context of this activity. The theoretical and methodological references that supported the research consisted of studies on social uses and functions of the written language, the school newspaper, and the Activity Theory. The data collected through the use of techniques such as direct observation, document analysis, semistructured interviews and explicitness showed that the production of the school newspaper involved reading and/or production of informative and opinionated articles, editorial articles, interviews, messages, advertisements, etc. In the context of the activity being analyzed, reading and/or production of such genres functioned to convince/raise awareness, communicate impressions and views, report facts and events, provide accountability, promote interpersonal communication, sell products and services, provide support to memory, guide the compliance of standards and regulations, guide/ systematize the completion of an action, formalize permanent records, prove facts and events, among others. The results demonstrated the importance of the production of school newspapers as a methodological alternative for the teaching of the social uses and functions of the written language in a meaningful and contextualized way, helping to minimize the artificiality of the practical teaching of the written language in the school context. Because the research focused on the production of newspapers whose stories were produced as an extra-class activity, it is suggested to widen and deepen the study through an intervention research in which the newspaper is produced as a pedagogical activity developed together by teachers and students as part of the curricular activities.

Cette étude vise à analyser la place occupée par les moines et les monastères, d’un double point de vue pratique et idéologique, dans la société hispanique du haut Moyen Âge, à l’exclusion de la Catalogne et d’al-Andalus. Les fonctions remplies par les monastères sont, pour une part, traditionnelles et conformes à celles qu’ils exercent à la même époque dans d’autres régions de l’Occident chrétien. Le développement du monachisme – c’est-à-dire la fondation de monastères, leur enrichissement par donation et leur capacité à se nourrir de nouvelles recrues – s’explique par la croyance en la doctrine du salut, qui incite chacun à œuvrer pour sa rédemption et celle de ses proches. Mais la profusion de monastères dans la chrétienté péninsulaire tient aussi à d’autres facteurs : stratégies économiques, politiques et mémorielles des élites ; capacité de communautés rurales solidaires à faire émaner d’elles-mêmes de modestes établissements monastiques ; progression des royaumes septentrionaux aux dépens d’al-Andalus. La prolifération des monastères est favorisée par la souplesse des cadres normatifs dans lesquels ils s’intègrent ; il en résulte une grande adaptabilité de forme et de contenu, si bien que les monasteria les plus modestes se distinguent mal de simples églises rurales, l’une de leurs fonctions essentielles étant de servir aux nécessités du culte. Les grands monastères contribuent également à l’encadrement socio-pastoral par l’emprise qu’ils exercent sur les fonctions épiscopales, par la célébration de cérémonies liturgiques ouvertes aux laïcs, par le contrôle d’églises rurales, par la réception d’immunités qui les placent à la tête de véritables seigneuries. La situation frontalière qui caractérise la péninsule Ibérique du haut Moyen Âge confère aux monastères une couleur spécifique. Victimes des assauts musulmans, ils s’engagent en retour dans la défense des territoires chrétiens. Une partie de leurs fonctions habituelles se trouve réorientée, dans un tel contexte, en des applications particulières dont témoignent l’attention au sort des captifs ou le développement, à la fin du XIe siècle, d’une liturgie belliqueuse. Les fonctions sociales remplies par les monastères et le prestige attaché au genre de vie monastique justifient que les moines occupent, en pratique, une position centrale dans le fonctionnement de la société. Celle-ci n’apparaît pourtant pas telle qu’elle laisse émerger, dans les discours, l’idée promue à la même époque par les grands monastères du nord des Pyrénées selon laquelle les moines formeraient l’élite d’une société chrétienne hiérarchisée en fonction d’un critère de pureté, et pourraient prétendre, à ce titre, occuper le sommet de l’ordre du monde. Ancré dans une tradition wisigothique qui participe à expliquer une durable imperméabilité aux courants monastiques ultra-pyrénéens, le monachisme hispanique connaît à la fin du XIe siècle un processus de normalisation qui le fait entrer dans une nouvelle phase de son histoire. / This study aims to analyse, from a double practical and ideological point of view, the place of monks and monasteries in the early medieval hispanic society, apart from Catalonia and al-Andalus. The functions of monasteries were in part traditional and in keeping with the ones they fulfilled elsewhere in the christian West. The rise of monasticism – that is, the foundation of monasteries, their increase in wealth trough donations, their ability to feed themselves with new recruits – may be explained by the belief in the doctrine of salvation, which incited every one to strive for his own redemption and that of his relatives. However, the abundance of monasteries in the peninsular christendom also depended on other factors : economic, political and memorial strategies of the elite ; ability of rural communities to make appear from themselves small monasteries ; expansion of the northern realms at the expense of al-Andalus. The proliferation of monasteries was boosted by the fluidness of the normative framework in which they took place and which favoured a wide range of formal adaptation, in such a way that many modest monasteria were not easy to distinguish from simple rural churches – one of their essential functions being to serve as places of worship. The big monasteries also took part in the social control and pastoral care, thanks to the hold on the episcopal functions, celebration of liturgical ceremonies opened to lay people, ownership of rural churches and privileges of immunity that put them at the head of authentic seigniories. The border situation of the early medieval Iberian Peninsula gave to monasteries a peculiar tone. As well as they suffered from the muslim assaults, they took part in the defence of the christian territories. In such a context, part of their usual functions were redirected to specific applications, of which the attention to the lot of prisoners or the development of a bellicist liturgy at the end of the 11th century are good examples. The social functions assumed by monasteries and the prestige of the monastic way of life explain that the monks, in practical terms, held a central position in the running of society. However, this role was not enough to make emerge, in discursive terms, the idea – promoted at the same time by some big monasteries north of the Pyrenees – that the monks were the elite of a christian society hierarchically organized by a criterion of purity and claimed, for that very reason, to be at the top of the social order. The visigothic tradition in which hispanic monasticism was rooted may partly explain that it remained for long impervious to the ultra-pyrenean monastic trends. At the end of the 11th century, a process of normalization drove the iberian monasteries into a new phasis of their history.

A crise das figuras de autoridade próprias da sociedade tradicional faz surgir outras figuras sociais de autoridade que vêm preencher o espaço deixado vago. Nesta pesquisa é proposto que o delegado de polícia é uma dessas novas figuras debruçando-se sobre sua intervenção nos casos de violência doméstica contra a mulher. É discutido sobre quais são essas novas atribuições apresentadas ao delegado e posto que tal fato é trazido e fundamentado pelo fenômeno sociológico da jurisdicionalização das demandas sociais. Também se analisa o movimento que tende a institucionalizar esses novos desafios nas funções do delegado e sobre o ponto de visão dele acerca da jurisdicionalização das demandas sociais. Por fim, faz algumas considerações sobre quais são as tendências a partir do que foi exposto. / The crisis of authority felt by traditional authority beholders, from traditional society, gives rise to other social figures of authority that come on stage to fulfill the space left vacant. This article suggests that the police chief officer is invited to perform a new role in society as one of these new figures bending his intervention in cases of domestic violence against women. It argues over what are these new powers assigned to the police chief officer, and advances a proposition that this occurs as a consequence of the increased judicialisation of social demands as a sociological phenomenon. It also examines the social trend which sets forth pressures for institutionalizing these new challenges as regular functions of the police chief officer and about the view of the police chief officer about the judicialisation of social demands. Finally, it draws some considerations about future tendencies about the sociological phenomenon exposed.

1 Abstract This thesis discusses rapid transit system proposals from competition of Elektrické podniky company in 1931 that had been announced due to worsening traffic situation in the metropolitan area. The first part of this thesis serves as a framework for the second part - it introduces the history of Prague and railway transport in it until the first Czechoslovak republic and thus enables easier orientation in context of this issue. The second part itself consists of review of all competitive designs and then analyzes them through research questions, which are based on particular social aspects. To each of the following aspects, there is a specific subchapter devoted: inhabitation and economically significant areas in Prague, problems with public transport, selected functions of stations, trainsets and their capacitive sufficiency and comfort, planned changes in built-up areas in Prague. These then serve as tools for comparation and final evaluation of technical solutions from historical sociological perspective. For the research analysis in second part, archive materials of Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy are being used as a source, supplemented by thematically relevant literature in the first part. Key words: historical sociology, history of commuting, public transportation, social functions of...

Ausgangspunkt dieser Arbeit ist die gesellschaftliche Problematisierung des Größenstrukturwandels in der deutschen Landwirtschaft. Zuerst wird anhand einer strukturierenden Inhaltsanalyse von Positionspapieren zur Reform der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik herausgearbeitet, dass der Größenstrukturwandel sowohl als Gerechtigkeits- als auch als Multifunktionalitätsproblem gedeutet wird. Die Positionen überlappen im Prinzip der Leistungsgerechtigkeit und in dem Ziel, möglichst viele Betriebe zu erhalten. Viele der präsenten Annahmen über die Vorteile kleiner Betriebe lassen sich wissenschaftlich nicht bestätigen. Hinsichtlich sozialer Funktionen von Landwirtschaft wird eine Forschungslücke identifiziert. Es folgt eine systematische Literaturanalyse, die konzeptuelle Zugänge zu sozialen Funktionen von Landwirtschaft voneinander abgegrenzt und in einem Analyserahmen integriert. Dieser Analyserahmen berücksichtigt landwirtschaftliche Betriebe, die von ihnen ausgeübten Tätigkeiten sowie deren Wirkungen hinsichtlich sozialer Ziele (Funktionen). Aus der Literatur werden zudem elf verschiedene Typen sozialer Funktionen abgeleitet. Daran knüpft eine empirische Fallstudie an, die basierend auf umfangreichen qualitativen Daten soziale Funktionen von Landwirtschaft in Dithmarschen analysiert und Zusammenhänge mit dem regionalen Größenstrukturwandel exploriert. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass sich der mit dem Größenstrukturwandel verbundene, zunehmend industrielle Charakter landwirtschaftlicher Tätigkeiten sowie die abnehmende Anzahl von Landwirt/innen in ehrenamtlichen Strukturen negativ auf soziale Funktionen auswirken. Einkommensdiversifizierung gewinnt im Kontext des Größenstrukturwandels an Bedeutung und stärkt soziale Funktionen, wobei kapital- und arbeitsintensiven Tätigkeiten unterschiedlich wirken. Die Dissertation ermöglicht eine sachlichere Debatte zum Größenstrukturwandel und eine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit sozialen Funktionen von Landwirtschaft. / This dissertations’ starting point is the societal problematisation of the changing farm size structure in Germany. In the first article, a structuring content analysis of position papers on the post-2020 reform of the Common Agricultural Policy shows that the shift towards fewer and larger farms is framed as a problem of both equity and multifunctionality. The respective positions overlap when it comes to the principle of performance equity and the goal of maintaining as many (small) farms as possible. Many of the claims made in the debate about benefits of small farms are not supported by empirical research, and a research gap is identified, particularly regarding social functions of agriculture. The second article presents a systematic literature review. Different conceptual approaches to the social functions of agriculture are distinguished and integrated into an analytical framework. This framework considers farms, the activities they carry out and the functions that can be fulfilled through these activities. In addition, eleven different types of social functions are derived from the literature reviewed. The third article builds up on the second and presents an empirical case study, which analyses the social functions of agriculture in Dithmarschen and explores how these relate to regional structural change on the basis of an extensive qualitative data set. The results indicate that both, the increasingly industrial character of agricultural activities associated with the change in farm size structure and the decreasing number of farmers in voluntary structures have a negative impact on social functions. Income diversification becomes more important in the context of farm exits and strengthens social functions, although the effects of capital-intensive and labour-intensive activities differ. Overall, this dissertation facilitates a more objective debate on structural change and a differentiated analysis of the social functions of agriculture.
