Hupomnémata = registro de história de vida de adolescentes em acolhimento institucional como escrita de si / Hupomnémata : record the life story of teens in residential care as self writing

Almeida, Tatiana Lima de 18 August 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Áurea MAria Guimarães / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Educação / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-18T11:15:42Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Almeida_TatianaLimade_M.pdf: 29623064 bytes, checksum: d1fc882ad5327ce499761508342c92e0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: Esta dissertação abordou a questão de adolescentes em acolhimento institucional, e buscou averiguar em que medida os registros das histórias de vida de jovens abrigados constituem uma escrita de si. De acordo com o Instituto de Pesquisas Avançadas (2003), o censo nacional de abrigos revelou a existência de cerca de 20.000 crianças e adolescentes abrigados no Brasil, sendo que 87% têm família. O período estimado de abrigamento varia entre sete meses a cinco anos. O Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) indica em seu Art. 101, Parágrafo único, que o abrigo só deve ser utilizado como recurso para a proteção de crianças e adolescentes em caráter provisório e excepcional, utilizável como forma de transição para a colocação em família substituta. No entanto, o que se observa, atualmente, são crianças e adolescentes que permanecem durante anos em entidades aguardando voltar para suas famílias de origem ou serem encaminhados para famílias substitutas. Esse longo período de permanência em instituições de acolhimento compromete a manutenção dos vínculos familiares e, consequentemente, a continuidade de uma memória ou uma história de vida registrada. Em geral, os registros feitos sobre a história de vida desses sujeitos são realizados em prontuários pelos adultos que os acompanham, no entanto, na maior parte dos casos não há registros sobre os desejos, as impressões, as lembranças. O embasamento teórico utiliza o referencial de Michel Foucault sobre a escrita de si, que afirma esta atividade como o registro de movimentos interiores, pensamentos, desejos e ações daquele que escreve. Foucault remete a ideia de hupomnêmata, que na Antiguidade, era utilizado pelos Gregos como forma de registro material da memória e assumia a forma de diários e cadernos constituídos a partir de diferentes elementos como desenhos, lembranças, reflexões. Para Foucault (2006a) a escrita de si configura um cuidado de si que permite a constituição do sujeito. O trabalho foi realizado por meio da construção de diários com adolescentes abrigados, no município de São Paulo. As atividades consistiram em quinze encontros regulares temáticos nos quais estes jovens puderam registrar conteúdos como: lembranças, impressões e sentimentos. Este processo foi descrito, neste trabalho, no formato de uma narrativa e utilizou a teoria da História Oral de Vida de José S. B. Meihy (1991) que propõe a transcrição, textualização e transcriação do material obtido. No decorrer do texto é possível entender de que maneira a técnica de Meihy foi adaptada para esta proposta possibilitando um formato diferente de construção do trabalho. Tal processo permitiu a criação de espaços nos quais possibilitou-se o aparecimento dos sujeitos. / Abstract: This dissertation addressed the issue of adolescents in residential care, and sought to ascertain the extent to which records the life stories of young people are housed in a self writing. According to the Institute for Advanced Research (2003), the national census revealed the existence of shelters for some 20.000 children and adolescents sheltered in Brazil, and 87% have family. The estimated period of institutionalization varies from seven months to five years. The Status of Children and Adolescents indicates in its article 101, paragraph one, the shelter should only be used as a resource for the protection of children and adolescents in a provisional and exceptional basis, usable as a way to transition to placement in a foster family. However, what is observed today are children and adolescents who remain in institutions for years waiting for their families back home or being sent to foster families. This long period of stay in institutions committed to maintaining family ties and therefore the continuity of a memory or a history of life recorded. In general, the records made on the life history of these subjects are held in records by the adults who accompany them, however, in most cases there are no records on the desires, perceptions and memories. The theoretical referential use of Foucault's writing about himself, says that this activity as the registration of interior movements, thoughts, desires and actions of the person writing. Foucault refers hupomnêmata the idea that in ancient times, was used by Greeks as a way to record material from memory and took the form of diaries and notebooks made from different elements such as drawings, memories, reflections. For Foucault (2006a) writing for oneself a self care that allows for subjectivity. The work was accomplished through the construction of sheltered daily with adolescents, in São Paulo. The activities consisted in fifteen thematic regular meetings in which these young people were able to record content such as: memories, impressions and feelings. This process was described in this work in a narrative form and used the theory of Oral Life History of Joseph S. B. Meihy (1991) proposes that transcription and trans textualization of the material. Throughout the text one can understand how the technique was adapted for this Meihy proposal allowing a format other than construction work. This process allowed the creation of spaces where possible to the appearance of the subjects. / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestre em Educação

Öppet och stängt samtidigt? - En studie om Systembolagets strategier för att skapa och vidmakthålla legitimitet i en komplex omgivning

Wachtmeister, Andrea, Rosendahl, Melina January 2023 (has links)
Systembolaget är en organisation som navigerar i en komplex miljö där hänsyn behöver tas till olika intressenters intressen samt samhällsuppdraget de blivit tilldelade av staten. I den komplexa miljön kan det vara svårt för organisationen att hantera sin legitimitet. Denna studie syftar till att ge en djupare förståelse för hur Systembolaget arbetar för att skapa och vidmakthålla legitimitet, ur ett intressentperspektiv, där organisationen förhåller sig till sitt samhällsuppdrag. Studien realiseras genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med ett urval av butikschefer från Systembolaget samt med en medarbetare från huvudkontoret. Dessa analyseras med hjälp av uppsatsens analysmodell och temana: intressenter, motstridiga och ovillkorliga intressen samt organisationens strategier för att skapa och vidmakthålla legitimitet. Av studien framgår det att samhällsuppdraget, å ena sidan, är en väsentlig aspekt i Systembolagets arbete för att hantera legitimitet. Å andra sidan begränsar samhällsuppdraget Systembolagets möjligheter och handlingsutrymme att tillgodose sina intressenters intressen. Sammantaget arbetar Systembolaget på olika sätt för att skapa och vidmakthålla legitimitet när de arbetar i enlighet med samhällsuppdraget.

Socio-cultural constructions of gender roles and psychological wellbeing in farm-families of Ogun-state, Nigeria : exploring the complexities.

Sokoya, Grace Oluseyi. January 2003 (has links)
The study set out to explore the complexities of the socio-cultural constructions of gender roles and psychological wellbeing in farm-families of Ogun state Nigeria. The intention of the study was to gain insight and understanding of the farmers' life experiences since farm-families are gendered institutions with peculiar needs, problems and aspirations. The study was motivated by a dearth of research on the constructions and determinants of psychological wellbeing and gender roles in farm-families. This thesis is therefore an attempt to fill the identified gap in knowledge, by generating empirical data on the socio-cultural constructions of psychological wellbeing and gender roles in farm-families. The thesis is essentially interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from and contributing to the bodies of knowledge in gender-based research, social psychology, family studies, developmental research, and agricultural extension. The inclusion of men's and women's views and perceptions, as opposed to a polarized view of men exclusively as the oppressors and perpetrators of female subordination is a poststructural feminist approach toward de-emphasizing gender dichotomies. In addition, the incorporation of children's perspectivesis due to recognition of family factors as determinants of children's gender identity construction, life outcomes, and the psychological wellbeing of the entire family. Research participants included forty adults (17 men and 23 women) and thirty-one children (17 boys and 14 girls), drawn from five farming communities in Ogun state Nigeria. These include: Kango, Ogijan, Boodo-Sanyaolu, Obafemi, and Ilewo-Orile. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, multiple methods of data collection were employed. These include life history methodology, in-depth interviews, focus group interviews, and interactive observation techniques. Although 'psychological wellbeing' is a difficult construct to define because of its complexity and high subjectivity, adopting the social representations' framework, the constructions,· meanings and determinants of psychological wellbeing and gender roles were allowed to emerge from the participants, within their peculiar socio-historical and cultural contexts. Findings reveal that the constructions of gender identity and gender roles in farm-families are the foundations of the internalization of gender ideals, socio-cultural constructions, psychological wellbeing and coping strategies. Children then grow up to become part of the society and continue the trans-generational perpetuation of gender ideals and reinforcement of gender stereotypes, and these have several implications for the psychological wellbeing of entire farm-family members. The problems of women-subordination vis-a-vis male-domination, therefore, have their roots in the socio-cultural constructions of gender, gender roles, and their ideological representations. Research outcomes thus provide basis for the development of sustainable culture-specific feminist strategies, which address the origins and foundations of gender stereotypes, as well as gender-sensitive and gender-specific interventions for the enhancement of farm-families' psychological wellbeing. The adoption of Yoruba terminology in the constructions of psychological wellbeing and related concepts in the thesis is the beginning of an innovative research process for inventing contextually meaningful and relevant Yoruba terminology for previously Western-based concepts. In this thesis for example, psychological wellbeing is construed as - ilera-okan, alafiaokan, ibale-okan, ilera pipe t 'okan-t 'ara; while stress and emotional disturbance are construed as - aibale-okan, iporuuru ati pakaleke okan. This is a unique contribution to knowledge. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.

Essa entidade atende crianças e adolescentes entre 7 e 14 anos moradores de bairros de tal região. Por meio de seu estudo analiso a inter-relação das práticas educativas de tal entidade com as expectativas das famílias cujos filhos são por ela atendidos. Fundamentalmente a pesquisa foi baseada em observação participante de diversos momentos do cotidiano da entidade (durante o ano de 2000), em entrevistas com a equipe de trabalho da entidade e com 9 famílias. Ao refletir sobre a inter-relação das práticas educativas e as expectativas das famílias surge a questão do trabalho como categoria contraditória, na medida que ele é considerado pelas famílias como parte fundamental da sua identidade e considerado pela entidade, ao pensar o trabalho infantil, como ilegal / Abstract: The objective of this work is to study a beneficent organization of non-formal education located in the north of the city of Campinas which help children and teenagers between the ages of 7 and 14 years old who live in the neighborhood of that area. Through its study I analyze the interrelation of the educational practices of that organization with the expectations from the families whose children are attended. Fundamentally the research was based on participative observation of many moments of the organization¿s quotidian (during the year of 2000) and on interviews with the organization¿s staff and 9 families. After reflect about the interrelation between the educational practices and the families¿ expectations the work issue appears as a contradictory category once it is seen by the families as a fundamental part of their identity and through the organization, when we think of children work, as illegal / Mestrado / Ciencias Sociais na Educação / Mestre em Educação

Saudi Arabia And Expansionist Wahhabism

Baroni, Samiah 01 January 2006 (has links)
This thesis examines the development of Wahhabism as an ideology into a rapidly expanding, transportable, contemporary Islamic political system. Serving as the territorial foundation, individuals maintain allegiance to Makkah, the center of the Islamic world, through symbolic Islamic prayer. Along with a central, globally financed economic distributive mechanism, and Wahhabi social and educational institutions emerging from the traditional mosque, Wahhabism serves the demand for an Islamic political system in a late capitalist world. Wahhabism is fluid within contemporary dynamic political systems and rapidly changing international relations. Wahhabism continues to expand at a global level, at times, providing a foundation for new forms of contemporary terrorism.

White farmers, social institutions and settler masculinity in the Natal Midlands, 1880-1920.

Morrell, Robert Graham. January 1996 (has links)
The midlands was the first area occupied and farmed by white settlers. It became the agricultural heartland of colonial Natal. Its farmers became politically and economically powerful. Their success rested on the construction of a community. They formed a close-knit society in which family links and a sense of belonging were constantly reinforced. The community was closed to blacks. A keen sense of class was developed which made it difficult for outsiders to gain admission. In order to become a member, new immigrants could enroll in some of the many social institutions which were created. It was these institutions which served to integrate the community, to order and police it, and to define it. The community was composed of people who all owned land. A sense of belonging to this community was achieved in a number of ways. Families were nurtured, becoming exceptionally important as institutions through which wealth was passed. They were places of social interaction as well as transgenerational units which ensured a continuous presence in the area. Amongst the institutions which the settlers founded were schools, societies, volunteer regiments. agricultural organisations and sports clubs. The institutions were consciously modelled on their metropolitan counterparts. Settler masculinity was nurtured in the institutions. It prescribed male behaviour according to the values of a land-owning settler gentry. This masculinity was disseminated throughout the colony, becoming a key feature of the colonial gender order. A strong emphasis was placed on being tough and fit, on obedience and teamwork. These were values which gave sport major popularity within the colony and which fueled a militarism that had a bloody and brutal climax in the 1906 rebellion. The institutions gave men power and served as networks by which white male prestige and influence was sustained . Although women were formally excluded. they occupied a central position within the family and made a major contribution to the reproduction of the community. White boys and men found the demands of settler masculinity exacting. Nevertheless. apart from providing them with powerful places in the colonial order, its emphasis on male companionship and fit bodies produced a powerful camaraderie. On the other hand. It stigmatised men who did not fit the mould, enforcing conformity as it did so. Settler society was able to renew and reproduce itself largely through its own institutions outside the sphere of the state. The expansion of the state in the twentieth century threatened settler institutions though they were successfully defended. The midland community and its families were not as homogenous as they liked to pretend. They maintained a facade by excluding and silencing dissidents. This process was a necessary part of the creation of a myth which elevated old Natal families to positions of social status and prestige. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1996.

The performance and production of bisexual identity work online

Arthur, Emily D. 29 October 2009 (has links)
Employing institutional ethnography as an analytic frame, this study explicates the disjuncture felt by bisexual-identified individuals between their lived actualities and the textual realities stemming from the binary model of sexuality. This study also explores the role of online journal communities, including the capabilities and limits of this type of venue, as a rolling text that coordinates the narratives created there around bisexuality and bisexual-identification. Finally, this study critically examines the collaborative development of an experience-based discourse on bisexuality as produced by text-based identity work. Through the coordination of bisexual identity work taking place online, the venue facilitates the production of an alternative discourse that is differentiated from other sexuality discourses in its demonstration of fluidity, multiplicity, and resistance to order. In its differences from, rather than its similarities to, governing sexuality discourses, this bisexual discourse-in-production creates the possibility for a radical reconceptualization of sexuality and sexual-identification.

Complicit institutions: representation, consumption and the production of school violence / Representation, consumption and the production of school violence

Saltmarsh, Sue January 2004 (has links)
Thesis (PhD)--Macquarie University, Division of Society, Culture, Media & Philosophy, Department of Critical and Cultural Studies, 2004. / Bibliography: leaves 310-325. / Introduction -- School violence: a brief overview -- What's in a name?: constructing an institutional identity in an educational market -- The discipline of gentlemen -- Parent consumers: tactical manoeuvres and institutional strategies -- Making the papers: Trinity in the news -- Games of truth: "everyone has their spin" -- Conclusions. / This study integrates sociological theories of social class with poststructuralist theories of subjectivity, representation and consumption, to consider the complex ways in which the representational practices of institutions and individuals are implicated in the production of violence in schools. This work draws particularly on a case study of incidents of sexual violence which occurred at an elite private school in Sydney during 2000, in which four students were charged with a range of offences committed against younger peers over a period of months. The assault incidents received widespread media coverage and sparked intense public debate, in response to which a media strategies consultant was engaged by the school to liaise with members of the press. This study demonstrates the extent to which the interrelationships between systems of signification (in particular, written and visual texts) and other social systems, (for example, families, schools, and political economy) function in the constitution of subjectivities and the production of meaning, and takes as its focus the interrelationship and functioning of texts, discursive practices and social practices which pertain specifically to the assault incidents described above. Data are derived from a range of sources and genres, including promotional materials, personal and general correspondence, media reports, and interviews, necessitating a variety of qualitative analytic methods. Informed by critical post-structuralist theory, in particular the work of Bourdieu, Foucault, and de Certeau, this work considers questions pertaining to the operation of power within social institutions, with particular emphasis on the constitutive function of discourse. The analysis extends current conceptualisations of school violence through a post-structuralist interrogation of, and linking of violence to, educational consumption, which has predominantly been theorised according to sociological or economic models. The argument is made that the market ideologies which pervade contemporary social and educative practice, together with the representational practices and disciplinary regimes of schools, function in the constitution of social subjects who occupy multiple ambiguous subject positions in the patriarchal hierarchies which characterise the power relations and institutions under consideration, thus implicating institutions in the production of violence. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / vii, 325 leaves

"Vê se me desimbaça": do apelo à demanda de crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua / Appeal to the demand of children and adolescents in street situation

Paula Cristina Monteiro de Barros 07 May 2009 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Os meninos de rua apontam para uma complexa trama de exclusão social a que estão submetidos milhares de crianças e de adolescentes. Uma realidade que, perpassada e constituída por fatores sociais, econômicos, políticos, culturais e históricos, tendem a ocultar o que há de singular na história, no sofrimento, nas dinâmicas familiares, nas trajetórias de sujeitos que, face aos conflitos vivenciados e ao lugar de dejeto que ocupam no meio social, adotam a mesma saída para poderem existir (CAMPOLINA, 2001): a rua. Crianças e adolescentes, portanto, relegados a um lugar que lhes revela a faceta mais crua e real da exclusão, do abandono, da miséria, da violência que tende a ser reproduzida na circulação pelos vários espaços a casa, a rua, as instituições em busca de um lugar possível de endereçamento que os inscreva enquanto sujeitos. Nesse sentido é que esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida, a partir da experiência numa instituição que atende crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua. Vinculada ao projeto de pesquisa de Frej (2007), intitulado Limites, fronteiras e endereçamentos entre mãe e criança, este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a demanda endereçada por crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua à instituição. As contínuas transgressões, a destrutividade na relação com a instituição, além de expressões como Vê se me desimbaça, Você é uma cata-lixo, fazem supor manifestações de apelo, demandas endereçadas à instituição. A teoria psicanalítica, sobretudo as formulações de Freud e Lacan, bem como de Bergès e Balbo, trouxe contribuições importantes no que concerne à demanda, ao apelo, ao endereçamento, ao jogo de posições entre o sujeito e o Outro. A pesquisa utilizou-se de dados colhidos nos registros da instituição para contextualizar o público e apontar especificidades do atendimento. Além disso, apresentou três casos clínicos, com o objetivo de, no percurso dos adolescentes na instituição, articular questões concernentes à demanda por eles endereçada. A partir das discussões feitas, apontamos a instituição como um lugar de endereçamento (tesouro de significantes) que, ao fazer a hipótese de um apelo nos gritos de socorro de crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua, constitui-se enquanto lugar que acolhe, interdita, nomeia, delimita e simboliza para além do real da rua. Um lugar que, ao inscrever o sujeito no campo da palavra portanto, numa outra posição , institui a aposta e a possibilidade de, no apelo Vê se me desimbaça, entrever a construção e o endereçamento de demandas à instituição / The street boys are related to a complex reality of social exclusion to which thousands of children and adolescents are submited. This reality, perpassed and constitued by social, economicals, politics, cultural and historical factors, has a tendency to occult what exists as singular in the history, in the suffering, in the families dynamics, in the lives of subjects that, in front of experienced conflicts and also considering the role of dejection in the social context, adopt the same exit in order to the existence be possible (CAMPOLINA, 2001): the street. Children and adolescents, thus, left in a way that reveal to them the most rude and real face of the exclusion, of the abandonment, of the poverty, of the violence which has a tendency to reproduce in the circulation among different spaces the house in the street, the institutions but also trying to find a possible way of addressing that recognize them as subjects. If this search always exists, or if they are searching. This research was developed in this way, based in an experience at one institution that takes care of children and adolescents in streets situation. Vinculated to the research project of Frej (2007), Limits, barriers and addressment among mother and child, this research had as objective understand the demand addressed by children and adolescents in streets situation to the institution. The continuous transgression, the destructiveness in the relationship with the institution, furthermore, the expressions as Make me blurred anymore, You are a search-trash, make possible suppositions about appeal, demands addressed to the institution. The psychoanalitic theory, fundamentally the formulations of Freud and Lacan, as well as Bergès e Balbo, brought important constributions to understand the demand, the appeal, the addressment, the play of positions between the subject and the Other. The research analysed data from the registers of the institution with the major purpose to contextualize the public and consider especificities in the attendance. Moreover, discussed three clinical cases, with the objective to, in the passage of the adolescents in the institution, articulate questions concernents to the demand that they have addressed. From the discussions made, we suggested that the institution as a space of addressment (treasure of significants) which, making a hypotheses of an appeal to the shouts of help of children and adolescents in streets situation, constitue itself as a place that receive, interdict, nominate, delimitate, and symbolize beyond of the real of the street. A place that when register the subject in the language domain thus, in another position -, institute the bet and the possibility that, in the appeal Make me blurred anymore see indistinctly the building and the addressment of demands to the institution. Key-words: Children and adolescents in streets situation, appeal, demand, institution, addressment
