Circuits of Power in Alabama's Immigration Politics: Labor Justice and Corporate Social ResponsibilityJamison, Elizabeth Cori Shields 25 November 2015 (has links)
At the time of its debate and passage in 2010-2011, Alabama's immigration law evoked support and opposition from across the state and nation. Despite the outcry, the Alabama business community projected a pronounced public "silence". This silence was particularly curious because of the law's clear and intended goal of self-deportation of Latinos who are a significant labor source for Alabama agri-businesses and food processing industries. The key question for this dissertation is: Why did the poultry processing industry, which has high populations of Latino employees and a significant industrial presence in Alabama, stay publicly silent despite a predictable impact on their labor supply?
This qualitative analysis used the lens of the circuits of power model to interrogate this question. The findings indicate that Alabama poultry processors found themselves susceptible to the same opportunities and challenges as any other social actor confronted with the racialized, politicized, and historically contingent challenges facing Latino labor in Alabama. In other words, these business actors were fully socially embedded actors within Alabama. I demonstrate that individual residents, relevant associations, Alabama's politicians, and even the poultry processors themselves never fully realized the political vulnerability of their particular embeddedness until it was too late for poultry processing employers to publicly act to protect their Latino employees from this unjust state law.
I collected and triangulated data from multiple sources, including semi-structured interviews, media reports, state and national statistics, official websites, and legal documents. Through discourse and content analysis of this data, I developed a case study that demonstrates how Alabama's poultry processors were on a collision course with Alabama state politicians over immigration reform, but they never saw it coming. In so doing, I raise important questions about limits on the "real" power of economic actors for achieving self-interested business outcomes when those interests contest strongly-held social and cultural norms that are infused with a particular history of race, difference, and alterity in local spaces. I demonstrate that these limits raise questions for the democratic process and have consequences for economic actors with regard to corporate social responsibility claims as they pertain to labor justice. / Ph.

Candidate and Media Agenda Setting in the 2005 Virginia Gubernatorial ElectionDunn, Scott Wilson 19 May 2006 (has links)
This study content analyzed candidate press releases and newspaper articles from the 2005 Virginia gubernatorial election in order to determine which issues, strategies, and audiences were most salient on candidate and media agendas during the campaign. Monthly cross-lagged correlations were used to measure agenda setting effects between the two major party candidates, among the four newspapers, and between candidates and newspapers. These correlations showed that the candidates maintained consistent issue agendas throughout the campaign but shifted their strategy and audience agendas frequently, while the newspapers generally maintained consistency for all three types of agenda. Many of the cross-lagged correlations indicated that the candidates shared reciprocal influence with the newspapers, but in some cases the candidates set the newspapers' issue agendas, while the newspapers set the candidates' audience agendas. The two candidates showed reciprocal influence between their agendas throughout much of the campaign, but Republican Jerry Kilgore set Democrat Tim Kaine's agenda during some months early in the campaign. The four newspapers studied showed a clear path of influence on issue agendas, with the Richmond Times-Dispatch influencing The Washington Post, which in turn influenced The Roanoke Times, followed by The Virginian-Pilot. Influence between the newspapers' audience and strategy agendas was mostly reciprocal. / Master of Arts

"Da construção de uma ambiência inclusiva no espaço escolar" / "Constructing a concepcion about educational inclusion to encorage transformations in the school"Garcez, Liliane 08 October 2004 (has links)
O presente estudo procurou delinear uma concepção de inclusão que ultrapassasse o âmbito dos desajustes e das deficiências. Para tal, elaborou-se uma breve análise das diretrizes governamentais no âmbito educacional a partir da década de 1920 a fim de encaminhar um debate teórico sobre os rumos contemporâneos da educação inclusiva. De modo a ilustrar esse debate, apresentou-se uma intervenção extensiva, baseada na metodologia da pesquisa-ação, junto aos profissionais de uma Escola Municipal de Educação Fundamental de São Paulo e suas repercussões entre os envolvidos, tendo como norte a vivência de um caminho coletivo, e essa como algo capaz de provocar uma revisão sistemática e intencional das concepções e práticas educativas na atualidade, estabelecendo um caráter vivo à construção do conhecimento. Esse processo de articulação entre a teoria, a prática e as diretrizes governamentais considerou a universalidade dos conhecimentos e as especificidades locais, bem como o diálogo entre o conhecimento de questões clássicas, dos problemas contemporâneos, das pesquisas e das ações possíveis como algo capaz de provocar novas negociações entre os diferentes segmentos, impulsionando transformações a partir da revisão sistemática e intencional das concepções e práticas em curso no cotidiano escolar. / The proposal of this work is to delineate a conception of inclusion which exceeds the limits of the meaning of deficiency and disability. First, an analysis of the educational state politics since 1920 and a theoretical discussion about educational inclusion as a perspective were elaborated. Then, to illustrate this argument, there is a description of a case about an extensive intervention in a municipal school and the repercussion among the people who take part in it, by living in a collective way, and how that experience was able to promote an intentional revision about the educational conceptions and performances in our present days to establish a lively character for the knowledge building. This process of an articulation between theory, practice and government directions, looks after the knowledge universality at the same time that there is a consideration of the local specialties, as well as the dialogue between the classic questions, contemporaneous problems, researches, possible actions as something that can promote new relations between the different sectors and encouraging transformations from a systematic and intentional revision of the conceptions and actions in a course of a day-by-day school life.

Mobilidade Yanomami e interculturalidade: ecologia histórica, alteridade e resistência cultural / Yanomami mobility and interculturality: historical ecology, alterity, and cultural resistenceNilsson, Maurice Seiji Tomioka 16 March 2018 (has links)
A mobilidade dos Yanomami tem papel decisivo na construção da paisagem amazônica ao produzir clareiras a serem regeneradas após cada mudança de residência. Esse processo não deve ser reduzido apenas ao seu aspecto de ecologia histórica, pois está intimamente ligado à organização social horizontalizada, orientada pelas alianças intercomunitárias. Nesse estudo é proposto um mapeamento das trajetórias de alguns grupos Yanomami, no Toototopi, Homoxi, Marauiá e os resistentes ao contato, Moxihatetemapë. Nos três primeiros, onde o posto de contato exerce uma atração pelo diferencial de potencialidades de troca, recuperei em minha experiência de quase uma década nesses lugares, para investigar a intencionalidade dessa mobilidade e de sua continuidade perante a novidade representada pelo posto. Os Yanomami souberam manter uma relação pendular de aproximação e afastamento dos postos de contato permanente, utilizando-se de segundas residências, próximas e longe do posto, do rio, aproveitando o que lhes interessava na relação de contato e recusando os elementos que pudessem levar a um sistema colonial ou a uma perversão das relações sociais com a criação de algum mecanismo coercitivo; isso se fez mediante a uma atualização sobre a alteridade, uma antropologia reversa, enquanto os estrangeiros ainda eram minoritários. Percebendo a intencionalidade estratégica desse ato, cuja recusa radical é a resistência ao contato dos Moxihatetemapë. Há uma relação prioritária com a construção (e defesa) da paisagem amazônica, expressa na cosmopolítica de Davi Kopenawa. / The mobility of the Yanomami plays a decisive role in the construction of the Amazon landscape by producing clearings to be regenerated after their moving among residences. This process should not be reduced only to its historical ecology, since it is closely linked to the social organization horizontality, regulated by inter-community alliances. In this study I mapped the trajectories of some Yanomami groups in Toototopi, Homoxi, Marauiá and Moxihatetemapë, the latter resistant to contact. In the other three, the \"attraction post\" established by the government causes both an attraction and a resistance given its exchange potential. My experience of almost a decade in these posts investigating the intentionality of indigeneous mobility and its continuity is reviewed. The Yanomami have invented intelligent ways to maintain a pendular relation to be near and distant from these permanent contact sites, using second residences, near and far from health services, by the river or taking advantage of what interested them in their contact while refusing the elements that could lead to a colonial system or a perversion of social relations due to the creation of some coercive mechanism; this was done through an update on alterity, a reverse anthropology, until foreigners were still in minority. The strategic intentionality of this processes of radical refusal mirrors the resistance to contact of the Moxihatetemapë. I therefore advocate a relation between this and the construction (and defense) of the Amazonian landscape, expressed in the cosmopolitics of Davi Kopenawa.
