The study examines social movement resource mobilization in the age of the network society. In the traditional model of Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT), material and human resources, as well as the legitimacy gained for a movement from the mass media, play crucial roles in mobilization. In the contemporary epoch of informationalism and network society, a large variety of instant communication technologies penetrate everyday life, bringing a lifestyle characterized by the intensive integration between technologies and social life. By studying the cases of two recent social movements, which witnessed the networking of different organizations/individuals and their wide use of new technologies, this research tries to identify what sorts of movement resources are employed in the mobilization process, and what the resource mobilization process is like in the paradigm of informationalism and network society. Regarding the traditional RMT, scholars identified the missing link between the movement side and the general public in terms of empathy arousal. Despite that political opportunity process theorists largely added contextual elements, they concentrated on mainstream political institutional change, but still neglecting the role of historical and social culture, and people’s role as active agency. In this study, the author also integrates the cultural aspects as a type of immaterial resource to produce a broader look into movement resources. The two cases investigated are: the anti-moral-and-national-education movement (anti-M&N) in Hong Kong and the anti-media-monopoly movement (anti-monopoly) in Taiwan. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews and archive study as the major methods. Results show that the traditional resources, such as resource-rich movement organizations, professionals and those possessing fruitful movement experiences are still indispensable. However, it is noteworthy that technologically adept activists have gained an increasingly important position. Their tech-savvy capabilities make them at once information archivist, movement message translator and disseminator. In addition, their heavy use of online platforms has facilitated groups which lack resources to “out-source the provision of resources to a rhizomatic movement network. In this sense, with networking taking place between those who possess resources and the tech-savvy activists, between the core and the rhizomatic participants, a networked alliance has been formed as an important resource to today’s social movements. In traditional resource mobilization theory, the mass media was regarded as an important source to legitimize the movement. In these cases, besides the legitimacy gained from certain types of mass media, the activists also presented the movement’s messages strategically, by bridging the movements with social expectation and embedding in the historical context. By this means, the activists drew wider attention to anxieties about identity. In the light of the fact that Hong Kong and Taiwan are in the eye of the storm against the backdrop of China’s rising power, the issue of identity anxiety in these two societies may provide a direction for further research. Keywords: resource mobilization, network society, Hong Kong, Taiwan

This thesis has focussed on the International Baccalaureate’s Diploma Programme (IBDP). This focus arose from the author having worked in three centres which had subsequently gone on to adopt the IBDP, and which had thus given the author access to an initial purposive sample. This sample was later extended to include another five schools/colleges, as the author found that the initial interviewing sample had yielded inconclusive findings. The extended sample, however, provided a significantly rich source of qualitative data. This thesis examines leadership, and how leaders choose to implement non-mandatory curricula choices in schools and colleges. It also addresses whether leaders believe that these choices make differences to their students’ life chances through social mobility. This thesis investigates what happens when leaders can no longer afford to offer such choices to their students: how this makes them ‘feel’, and what they have ‘experienced’, through the removal of a curriculum option for educationalists and learners alike. It also addresses how leaders ‘feel’ when their students maintain access to curricula choices that other post-16 students are unable to access. The thesis also considers the development and extension of ‘a globally mobile transnational elite’ group (Savage et al, 2015: 244), and the leaders in education who deliver and extend this position. There have been eight phases to this research process, including four strands of data collection, with post-16 students, middle tier staff, HEI students, and Senior Leadership Teams in providing institutions, but the determining focus is with the SLTs interviews (N=28), conducted in 2014 and 2015. These were the individuals who had taken the decisions on the implementation of this non-mandatory curriculum area. The thesis analyzes some of the current areas of ‘distinction’ (Bourdieu, 1986) on independent schooling, and the research process demonstrates the significant gaps that are opening up between more traditional upper middle class groups in contrast with more adept transnational students and their parents. The thesis confirms that a global transnational elite exists inside the English education system, and that it uses the IBDP extensively to establish its separate cultural identity. It identifies ways of access to HEIs that are now a critical part of that cultural entity, as discussed by Savage et al (2015). This thesis is therefore an indicator of new and emerging forms of social differentiation, and examines how this is created using the IBDP. At a time of decreasing social mobility for the mainstream population, the thesis explores whether education environments are able to influence either their students or the wider education policy agenda, in order to actively achieve social justice.

Este trabalho procura compreender o processo migratório de jovens dos municípios de Nova Bréscia e Coqueiro Baixo, localizados no Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, em direção a centros urbanos do país e do exterior, envolvidos com o trabalho em churrascarias, através da formação de redes de mobilidade social. Baseados na perspectiva da compreensão do Espaço Geográfico que se aproxima do materialismo histórico, compreendendo a consubstanciação de fluxos no/pelo Espaço Geográfico, entendendo a rede como um fenômeno e um processo no entendimento e na construção da sociedade, pensada enquanto espaço e tempo, como uma forma de organizar o espaço sempre em movimento. O trabalho possui como uma das inquietudes a idéia de que o processo de expansão das churrascarias está relacionado à perseguição do capital, quando trabalhadores deixam as áreas rurais em que residem em direção aos centros urbanos, na procura de ascender socialmente, originando as redes de mobilidade social, constituindo-se as churrascarias como uma perspectiva de espaços de acolhimento para esses imigrantes. Esse processo de mobilidade social impulsionado e/ou entre-laçado pelas churrascarias parece se constituir num conjunto de modalidades pelas quais um grupo social compreende como a possibilidade de ocuparem novos espaços, proporcionadas pela mobilidade/oportunidade do trabalho, onde a perseguição do capital é um dos condicionantes (não o único) para a migração de trabalhadores do espaço rural para o espaço urbano, através da formação de redes migratórias. / The present work aims at understanding the migratory process of young people from Nova Bréscia and Coqueiro Baixo municipalities, located in Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil, in direction to urban centers inside the country and abroad. These people are involved in jobs at barbecue restaurants by the formation of social mobility networks. We are based on the perspective of the Geographical Space which is close to the historical materialism, understanding the consubstantiality of fluxes in/by the Geographical Space. We comprehend the network as a phenomenon and as a process in the understanding and in the construction of society; meant like space and time, as a form of organizing the space always in movement. The work has, as one of its questions, the idea that the expansion process of those barbecue restaurants is related to the pursuit of capital, when the workers leave the rural areas in which they reside towards the urban centers searching for social ascension. They create the networks of social mobility becoming the barbecue restaurants as a perspective of welcome spaces for those immigrants. This process of social mobility, encouraged and/or inter-related by the barbecue restaurants, seems to constitute a group of modalities by which a social group understands the possibility to occupy new spaces. Those opportunities are provided by the job mobility/ opportunity, where the search for capital is one of the determining factors (not the only one) for the workers migration from the rural area to an urban area by the formation of migrating networks.

Esta pesquisa buscou mapear a representação do movimento de ascensão social nos romances brasileiros do Segundo Reinado (1840-1889), focando naqueles cujas tramas se passam no Rio de Janeiro. Após o levantamento e a leitura de todas as obras que se encaixam nesse recorte e uma análise seriada dos dados relevantes para o tema em questão, procurou-se estabelecer relações entre o crescimento e complexificação da ascensão social na ficção com as mudanças históricas ocorridas no período e, ao mesmo tempo, comparar a abordagem encontrada na literatura nacional com a dos romances ingleses e franceses mais influentes para os escritores do Brasil. / This research aimed at mapping the representation of the social upward movement in Brazilian novels of the Second Empire (1840-1889), focusing on those whose plots take place in Rio de Janeiro. After surveying and read all the works that fit this cut and a serial analysis of data relevant to the issue at hand, we tried to establish links between growth and complexity of social mobility in fiction with historical changes in the period and at the same time, compare the approach found in our own national literature with British and French most influential novels on Brazilian writers.

Nesse contexto, essa mesma sociedade renovava seus critérios de classificação hierárquica, cujas definições passavam a ser responsabilidade da própria monarquia. Coube à Coroa definir o acesso aos diversos graus de nobreza e ao mesmo tempo desempenhar uma espécie de ―monopólio régio das classificações sociais‖. Tanto no reino quanto na Bahia colonial, se fizeram presentes, nesse período, instrumentos de ascensão social, tais como: remuneração de serviços, distribuição e redistribuição de honras e mercês e concessões de hábitos de ordens religiosas e militares. Diante desse quadro, e inspirados no ethos nobiliárquico reinol, membros da camada superior da sociedade baiana do século XVIII buscaram qualificar-se socialmente, ao fazerem uso dos diversos instrumentos de nobilitação presentes na dimensão reinol e reproduzidos em território colonial. Buscando analisar de maneira mais profunda as estratégias de ascensão social das elites baianas, esta pesquisa investigou a trajetória de uma família de considerável poder político, econômico e social da Bahia colonial, no caso a família Pires de Carvalho e Albuquerque. Ao examinar as iniciativas estratégicas dos Pires de Carvalho e Albuquerque na busca por honras e mercês, além das ações de reprodução social colocada em prática pela família, foi possível perceber o quanto o ethos nobiliárquico presente no reino foi refletido nas ações dos sujeitos que formavam as camadas superiores da sociedade colonial baiana. Diante da identificação e análise da documentação referente às relações entre indivíduos da colônia e da metrópole, ficou evidenciado o quanto de parâmetros societários típicos do Antigo Regime se fizeram presentes na organização hierárquica da sociedade colonial. In the XVIII century, the Portuguese society, under the influence of an ethos of nobility ranking, it valued service delivery to the Crown. In this context, this society renews its hierarchical ranking criteria whose settings passed to be responsibility of the monarchy itself. The Crown had the prerogative to set access to the different nobility levels and simultaneously would perform a sort of "royal monopoly over social ranking". And thus, inspired by the ethos of nobility, noble sectors of Portuguese society would sought to acquire and legitimize its privileges. It was the Crown's responsibility over the approach and control strategies establishment that social core through actions such as: payment for services; distribution and redistribution of honors and favors, and concessions of habits for religious and military orders. Given this situation, and inspired by the ethos royal nobility, members of the upper layer of Bahia's society in the eighteenth century sought to qualify socially, to make use of the various instruments of ennoblement present in royal realm and reproduced on colonial territory. Trying to analyze more deeply the social mobility strategies of Bahian elites, this research investigated the trajectory of a family of considerable political power, economic and social in colonial Bahia, where the family Pires de Carvalho e Albuquerque. In examining the strategic initiatives of Pires de Carvalho e Albuquerque in the search for honors and favors, in addition to social reproduction actions put into practice by the family, it was revealed how much the ethos of nobility present in the kingdom was reflected in the actions of the subjects that formed the upper layers of the Bahia colonial society. On the identification and analysis of documentation to relations among individuals of the colony and the metropolis, it was evident how much of typical corporate parameters of the old regime were present in the hierarchical organization of colonial society.

A TCT constitui-se em uma das principais formas de uma organização ou país manter-se atualizado frente ao avanço tecnológico. Com o objetivo de buscar desenvolvimento científico e tecnológico, foi criado no Brasil em 2011 o Ciência sem Fronteiras (CsF), um programa de mobilidade acadêmica internacional cujo objetivo é promover a formação docente e discente por meio de novas experiências educacionais e profissionais voltadas para a qualidade, o empreendedorismo, a competitividade e a inovação em áreas prioritárias e estratégicas para o Brasil. Todavia, não existe um modelo de TCT para a gestão do conhecimento científico e tecnológico absorvido pelos estudantes durante a mobilidade no exterior. A revisão sistemática de literatura constatou igualmente a não existência de um modelo de transferência de conhecimento e tecnologia que tenha como cedente e cessionária duas universidades simultaneamente. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é propor um modelo de TCT entre universidades parceiras na mobilidade acadêmica internacional. Para alcançar este objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo no Brasil e na França. No Brasil foram selecionadas as dez universidades que mais enviaram estudantes para o CsF nas engenharias e área tecnológicas; os estudantes de uma universidade tecnológica regressados do CsF; observação assistemática participante no departamento de relações interinstitucionais dessa universidade, e; uma pesquisa documental no site do CsF. Na França foram pesquisados os estudantes regressados da mobilidade acadêmica internacional, e; realização de observação assistemática no departamento de relações internacionais e em atividades acadêmicas. Os resultados da pesquisa de campo confirmam os resultados da revisão sistemática de literatura, que é a não existência de um modelo de TCT cujo cedente e cessionário sejam duas universidades simultaneamente. Ao final do trabalho propõe-se o modelo MTCTUU, que engloba ações prévias à partida dos intercambistas, ações durante o programa, ações no retorno dos estudantes, e indicadores para verificação dos resultados alcançados com a TCT. / The KTT process is in one of the main ways to keep up to date with the technological development. With the purpose of seeking scientific and technological development, in 2011 the Brazilian government created the international academic mobility program Science without Borders (CsF), which aims to promote the training of Brazilian students and faculty through new educational and professional experiences focused on quality, entrepreneurship, competitiveness and innovation towards priority and strategic areas for Brazil. However, there is not a model to manage the scientific and technological knowledge absorbed by the students. The systematic literature review also revealed the absence of a knowledge and technology transfer model whose transferor and transferee are two universities simultaneously. So, the objective of this work is to propose a KTT model between partner universities in the international academic mobility. To achieve this goal, a field research in Brazil and France was done. In Brazil the research included ten universities that sent a greater number of students to CsF in engineering and technological areas; students from a technological university returned from CsF; non-structured participant observation in the inter-institutional relations department, and; documentary research on the CsF website. In France the research included the students returned from an international academic mobility program, and; non-structured participant observation in the international relations department and in academic activities. The results of the field survey confirm the results of the literature review, which is the absence of a KTT model whose transferor and transferee are two partner universities in the international academic mobility. At the end of the work is the KTTMUU model is proposed, which includes actions prior to the students’ departure, actions to be taken during the program, actions to obtain the feedback from students, and indicators to measure the results achieved with the TCT.
