A report of the performance of this group was drawn from the origins, from its foundation to the current days. Their main doctrines and influences and how these determine their followers to be. After a brief definition of adolescent, their conflicts and challenges in this complicated period of the human existence, through the study of reports, testimonies, articles and Watchtower s literatures, a reflection was made over the adolescent's modus vivendi and the tensions which they go through and are constantly submitted, to guarantee that in everything they are faithful and prove their loyalty to the organization. When insubordination, questioning or confrontation happens, the disassociated adolescent suffers many profound and significant losses. For that reason, this work offers practical alternatives and solutions that aid to attend the recently disassociated in order to help in its social re-insertion. / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo, fazer uma análise crítica do comportamento do adolescente pertencente ao grupo religioso internacionalmente conhecido como Testemunhas de Jeová e sua representação máxima, a Sociedade Torre de Vigia. Foi traçado um histórico da atuação deste grupo desde os primórdios da sua fundação até os dias de hoje, suas principais doutrinas, influências e de como estas determinam a conduta de seus adeptos. Após a definição do conceito de adolescente, seus conflitos e desafios, neste período complicado da existência humana, averigou-se através de relatos, testemunhos, artigos e literaturas, o modus vivendi do adolescente e as tensões pelas quais são constantemente submetidos e para em tudo serem fiéis e comprarem sua lealdade à organização. Quando acontece a insubordinação, questionamento ou confrontação, o adolescente desassociado da Torre de Vigia sofre perdas muito significativas. O trabalho oferece soluções práticas e alternativas que auxiliam o acompanhamento do recém desassociado, em sua reinserção social.

Masters in Public Administration - MPA / Historically, the poor have always been socially, politically and economically marginalized in society. The South African Government’s Cooperative Act 2005 presents a promising step in the right direction towards addressing poverty and unemployment in rural areas. The research looks at two case studies and site relevant findings. This study gives a brief introductory account of cooperatives with regard to their history and existence, particularly in South Africa. The research report focuses on two case studies, where the organisational structures and business operations will be examined and compared. Finally the report will draw lessons to indicate the possible social and economic viability of these cooperatives and their place in rural development. Based on the findings and conclusions, a number of recommendations are made on cooperatives in the rural sector. The research utilizes secondary data, such as documents, records, the internet, books and literature on the subject of cooperatives and related aspects of unemployment and poverty, forming a background of cooperatives in the South African rural sector. Primary data takes the form of structured (personal one on one) and semi-structured (group discussion) interviews. The primary and secondary data present the basis for the report findings and conclusions. Where possible, the relevant recommendations are made.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Conceicao, Ligia.pdf: 475789 bytes, checksum: 1626391bff5c862f77ca5497ae00f744 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2004 / O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender as interpretações dos jovens portadores de necessidades educativas especiais acerca das práticas socioeducativas para a reinserção social, desenvolvidas em um Abrigo, pertencente à Fundação da Criança e do Adolescente (FUNDAC), em Salvador/Bahia. Inicialmente, apresenta-se uma interpretação bibliográfica, visando contextualizar historicamente a concepção e assistência implementadas para o atendimento aos portadores de necessidades educativas especiais, enfocando-se em seguida o processo de segregação e institucionalização infligido a esses sujeitos, tomando-se como eixo principal, para a consecução do estudo, o conceito de Instituição Total, desenvolvido por Goffman. A opção metodológica foi a abordagem qualitativa, com o uso da etnografia semiológica, baseada nos conceitos epistemológicos e dispositivos metodológicos da Etnopesquisa. Utilizou-se como técnica de análise de ?dados? a interpretação das narrativas dos jovens e professores sobre as ações implementadas para a reinserção social com base na análise de conteúdo. A partir da análise das narrativas foram identificadas três categorias analíticas: Institucionalização, Práticas Pedagógicas e Reinserção Social. Com base nas análises dessas categorias analíticas, pode-se afirmar que o Abrigo, oficialmente considerado uma ?casa de passagem?, trata-se, na realidade, de uma Instituição Total (GOFFMAN, 1974), indo de encontro ao Artigo 101 ? Parágrafo Único ? do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA, 1990) ?o abrigo é medida provisória e excepcional, utilizável como forma de transição para a colocação em família substituta, não implicando em privação de liberdade?. Em relação às práticas educativas para a reinserção social, conclui-se que se revelam sociopedagogicamente ineficazes, reforçando ademais, um modelo institucional com características de uma Instituição Total. Tais ações, implementadas em regime fechado, só reforçam a segregação social dos portadores de necessidades educativas especiais, dificultando a sua reinserção social e a conquista da dignidade da vida. / Salvador

Bearing this objective in mind, we base this study on, at least, three different fields of Linguistics, namely, Critical Discourse Analysis and its studies on (de)legitimation of discourse, Text Linguistics and its contribution with its studies on referentiation and Cognitive Linguistics and the theory of Idealized Cognitive Models. This integration of theories aims at investigating the way the personal pronoun forms of the subjective case turn it feasible to create and reflect the several social categories which may derive from the same pronoun. Besides, we also aim at investigating the role of this linguistic resource in the phenomenon of (de)legitimation of discourse. The socio-historical-cultural moment chosen to study these issues was the Civil Rights of the sixties in the United States of America. The corpus is composed of the speeches I have a dream by Martin Luther King, Jr. and The ballot or the bullet by Malcolm X. In our analysis, we investigate how the two leaders constructed their speeches around (de)legitimation of discourse and of social (re)categorization before the racial conflict the American society faced. We highlight the relation form-meaning established by the pronominal forms as cognitively motivated, lying on beliefs, values and world knowledge shared with and learned from other individuals within the socio-cultural context in which they are inserted. / Nosso objetivo principal ao desenvolvermos esta pesquisa é estabelecermos uma discussão teórica em torno da (re)categorização social e (des)legitimação de discursos, considerando aspectos sociais, históricos, culturais e cognitivos envolvidos no uso da linguagem em momentos de conflito social. Com este objetivo em mente, baseamos este estudo em, pelo menos, três ramos da linguística, a saber, a Análise Crítica do Discurso e seus estudos sobre (des)legitimação de discursos, a Linguística Textual e sua contribuição sobre o processo de referenciação e a Linguística Cognitiva com sua teoria dos Modelos Cognitivos Idealizados. Esta integração de teorias visa a investigar o modo como a utilização de formas pronominais pessoais do caso sujeito viabiliza a criação de e reflete as várias categorias sociais que emanam de um mesmo pronome. Além disso, investigamos o papel deste recurso linguístico na (des)legitimação de discursos. O momento sóciohistórico- cultural que escolhemos para refletirmos sobre estas questões foi o Movimento por Direitos Civis dos anos sessenta nos Estados Unidos da América e o corpus selecionado é composto pelos discursos I have a dream de Martin Luther King, Jr. e The ballot or the bullet de Malcolm X. Em nossa análise, investigamos como os dois líderes negros construíram seus discursos em torno da (des)legitimação de discursos e da (re)categorização social diante do conflito racial vivido na época. Retomamos a questão de que os pronomes estabelecem uma relação forma-significado, cognitivamente motivada, baseada em crenças, valores e conhecimentos de mundo partilhados e aprendidos com outros no contexto sóciocultural em que se encontram inseridos.

The context for this study is a community based organization known as the National Youth Development Outreach (YDO) in Eersterust, Pretoria. This organization caters primarily for adolescents who are in conflict with the law who have been referred to YDO by the courts. YDO offers what is known as the Adolescent Development Programme as a means of social rehabilitation. This programme is based on what is known as the Circle of Courage which has its origins in the Native American approach to child rearing. This Circle of Courage has four components, namely, Belonging, Mastery, Independence and Generosity. Music therapy was introduced at the National Youth development Outreach in January 2003. My interest in the work of music therapy within this context gave rise to this dissertation. My aim in this study is to explore how music therapy can contribute to the Adolescent Development Programme and, in particular, how the Circle of Courage can inform the goals and practice of music therapy. In addition I wish to explore how music therapy practice needs to adapt in order to be relevant within such a context. The study is conducted within the qualitative research paradigm and thus seeks not to prove one single truth. This explorative study is conducted in a naturalistic setting. Data collection is in the form of a semi structured interview with 3 personnel members from the organization, clinical session notes and video recorded excerpts from two music therapy sessions. The clinical session notes form the basis of a description of the music therapy process at YDO from January to June 2003 and work with an individual client. These descriptions serve to contextualize the semi structured interview and video excerpts. The data are coded categorized and organized into themes. These themes highlight the social context in which YDO is situated which includes the individual, the organization and the community. The data highlights the primacy of the Circle of Courage within this specific context. Music as a tool for communication as well as a barometer of relationship is also discussed. This forms the basis for addressing the two research questions. This discussion focuses on the role of the Circle of Courage in informing the goals of music therapy through considering this at a conceptual level as well as viewing clinical improvisation through the lens of the Circle of Courage. The response to the second research question is from the premise of community therapy and considers the possibility of a wider application of music therapy in such a context. Music therapy is in its infancy in South Africa, especially with this client group. I am unaware of any published literature of music therapy work with adolescents in conflict with the law. Whilst this study has focused on a very small part of the whole, my hope is that it will stimulate further thinking and research about music therapy with this client group and will contribute to a broader body of knowledge. / Dissertation (MMus (Music Therapy))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Music / unrestricted
