The dissertation connects areas of critical-animal studies and feminist studies over the question of picturing bodies of animals and women including visual violence. In particular it addresses the use of mentioned picturing methods by an animal rights movement. I understand women and animals to be marginalised groups in patriarchal society on which is represented the power of hegemonic masculinity by denigrating, violent and sexual representation, even though each group has its specifics. The method of representation serves as means of confirmation and embedding of hegemonic masculinity, anthropocentric system built on binary oppositions man/woman, human/animal, and with them related discourse of difference. The aim of the dissertation is to point out common characteristics of denigrating representation including violence (with sexual meaning) on animals and women who are reduced to objects, on which visualisation of violence is socially accepted. The initial point comes from feminist theories of Carol J. Adams and her concept of absent referent. Further it works with concept of intersectionality and fluid identity according to Rosi Braidotti, which enables consideration of assigning a claim of personal identity also to animals. From the methodological position, the dissertation is based on...

Comment un photographe peut-il documenter le quotidien des habitants d’un milieu dont il ignore les codes et les habitudes ? Comment doit-il procéder afin d’échapper aux stéréotypes qui figent leur image aux yeux du monde ? Ce mémoire mène une réflexion sur les pratiques que les photographes documentaires pourraient adopter afin de s’éloigner des codes de représentation dictés par la culture dominante et ce faisant tendre vers une approche du vécu plus directe. Le cas d’étude choisi est la population du bassin minier du nord de la France, plus précisément des environs de la ville de Valenciennes. L’objectif est de mettre en avant le quotidien et les spécificités culturelles de l’une des régions caractérisés de la France périphérique. La méthodologie choisie combine deux techniques, celle du photovoice et celle de l’entretien basé sur la photo-élicitation. Les données sont collectées directement auprès des quatre participants à l’étude. Le présent document mobilise des théoriciens des études critiques afin d’aborder notamment les notions d’idéologie et de représentation. Une collecte de données au plus proche des habitants permet de mieux les connaître et d’en savoir davantage sur leur sentiment d’appartenance à leur région et à leur culture, leur rapport à l’image, aux médias et leur représentation aux yeux du monde. 
 Ce travail permet notamment de réaliser que dans le bassin minier du nord, les habitants n’ont pas comme réflexe de se mettre en avant en tant qu’individus et voient plutôt la photographie comme un moyen de mettre en avant leurs occupations du quotidien. Cette recherche permet également de faire état de l’omniprésence de stéréotypes sur la région, point particulièrement développé dans la section discussion. 
 Le recul acquis suite à ce travail sur le terrain couplé à la mobilisation de connaissances théoriques offre une réflexion proposant de nouvelles manières d’appréhender un sujet et d’utiliser le médium photographique. / How can a photographer document people’s daily life in a region with specific codes and habits ? How should he proceed if he wants to escape the stereotypes freezing their image in the eyes of society ? This thesis is focused on the practices that documentary photographers can adopt in order to distance themselves from the codes of representation imposed by the dominant culture. The case study chosen is the population of the mining towns located in north of France, more precisely those nearby of the city of Valenciennes. The purpose is to highlight the daily life and the cultural specificities of one of the characteristic regions of peripheral France. The chosen methodology combines two techniques, the photovoice and the photo-elicitation interview. The data is collected directly from the four participants in the study. This paper mobilizes critical studies theorists to address notions like ideology and representation. A data collection close to people allows us to know them better and to learn more about their sens of belonging to their region and their culture, their relationship with the image, the media and their representation in the eyes of the world. In particular, this work allows us to realize that the inhabitants of the mining towns in the north of France do not automatically put themselves forward as individuals and rather see photography as a means of highlighting their daily occupations. This research also points out the omnipresence of stereotypes about the region. This find out is particularly developed in the ‘‘discussion’’ section. 
 The hindsight enabled from this fieldwork combined with the mobilization of theoretical knowledge offers proposition of new ways to approach a subject and use the photographic medium.

Pierre Bourdieu (1930–2002) war ein französischer Ethnologe und Soziologe, der von 1981 bis 2001 einen Lehrstuhl für Soziologie am Collège de France innehatte. Sein zentrales Erkenntnisinteresse richtete Bourdieu auf die Beständigkeit der sozialen Verhältnisse, deren zentralen Mechanismus er im Phänomen der symbolischen Gewalt fand. Bourdieu beschreibt dabei, wie in der sozialen Praxis über Akte des Klassifizierens Herrschafts- und Machtverhältnisse konstituiert und perpetuiert werden. Als Beispiel schlechthin für die symbolische Gewalt benennt Bourdieu die „Männliche Herrschaft“. Die Rezeption dieses Konzepts ist in der deutschsprachigen Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung bis heute jedoch eher zurückhaltend.

Desde meados do século XX a indústria cultural participa efetivamente na elaboração das identidades e subjetividades, e, assim, soma-se a outras instâncias sociais (família, igreja, e escola). Televisão, rádio, imprensa, indústria fonográfica, publicidade e Internet oferecem artefatos culturais que atuam de maneira incisiva na educação dos sujeitos contemporâneos. Nesta pesquisa objetivei analisar a série Malhação, exibida pela Rede Globo de Televisão há quase 12 anos, considerando-a operadora de um currículo cultural, com temáticas e práticas pedagógicas que colaboram na constituição do habitus juvenil. Verifiquei apresentações de sexualidade e gênero; demonstração de um conceito de beleza humana; caracterização das relações étnicas; uso da punição como estratégia pedagógica; e a inserção do enredo na estrutura social e econômica. Adotei um método do tipo etnográfico virtual e tomei a praxiologia de Bourdieu como principal referencial – o que implicou fazer emergir da prática dos sujeitos as categorias analíticas e conceituais. Devido à amplitude das temáticas, adotei uma postura teórica multirreferenciada. Para as análises foram utilizadas imagens, falas e fatos da narrativa que colaborassem no esclarecimento dos temas selecionados. Em síntese, a Malhação, exibe um projeto pedagógico velado, que objetiva a formação do jovem consumidor, heterossexual, domesticado e que para ser belo necessita ser branco, novo e esbelto – fatos que caracterizam o currículo cultural como um caso típico da semiformação, que, para Adorno consiste na alienação das consciências, provocada pelas mercadorias da indústria cultural.

La rédaction de ce mémoire a été possible grâce à la bourse d’études supérieures du Canada (BESC M), Joseph-Armand-Bombardier du Centre de Recherche en Sciences Humaines (CRSH) du gouvernement du Canada, 2015. / Cette recherche est basée sur l’hypothèse suivante : la relation entre la société colombienne et la violence a été si constante et profonde que la nouvelle littérature du XXIe siècle est un produit de ce phénomène. Bien que les études académiques portant sur la littérature et la violence en Colombie soient si nombreuses, celles-ci ont été dirigées à l’analyse du violent comme étant un phénomène perturbateur de l’ordre social, que ce soit dès la Violence politique des années 50 et 60, ou bien dès la littérature du narco trafique dans les années 80 et 90. Toutefois, dans la littérature des générations plus récentes d’écrivains, la violence n’est pas nécessairement exercée par des acteurs « traditionnellement » violents qui portent atteinte à l’ordre social, mais ce supposé « ordre » social est déjà essentiellement violent, faisant de la violence une question symbolique, normalisée et profondément enracinée dans l’ensemble de la société. Donc, de quelle façon la violence « traditionnelle » a-t-elle mutée jusqu’à configurer la neo-violence d’aujourd’hui? Quelles sont ses caractéristiques? Mais, surtout, de quelle façon la littérature raconte-t-elle cette nouvelle violence? Le objectif de cette recherche est d’identifier ces nouvelles manifestations de la violence dans la littérature de la première décennie du XXIe siècle ayant été produites pour les écrivains nés pendant les années 70 et le début des années 80. La méthodologie, basée sur l’analyse de romans et de nouvelles d’écrivains colombiens de cette génération, cherche à établir comment la surexposition à une violence endémique a généré de nouvelles formes de voir, de percevoir, de sentir et de narrer le violent au-delà de la description de faits concrets de violence. / This research is based on the assumption that the relationship between the Colombian society and violence is so constant and deep that the new 21st century literature is the result of this phenomenon. Despite the fact that previous academic research on violence and literature in Colombia has largely addressed the topic, this same research has usually approached “violence” as a disruptive phenomenon having an impact on established social orders. That is the case of previous analysis addressing either the 1950s and 1960s’ La Violencia-based literature or the 1980s and 1990s’ drug trafficking literature. However, in the literature of the new generation of writers, violence is not necessarily practiced by traditionally violent actors who intentionally put social order at risk. This social order is in fact essentially violent, which turns violence into a symbolic, normalized, deeply rooted matter in society. Thus, how has “traditional” violence transformed into today’s neoviolence? Which are its attributes? Furthermore, how does literature tell this new violence’s story? The purpose of this research is to identify these new forms of violence made evident in the literature of the first decade of the 21st century that has been produced, in turn, by writers born between the 1970s and the 1980s. The methodology, based on the analysis of novels and short stories by Colombian writers from this period, seeks to establish how overexposure to endemic violence has resulted in new forms of seeing, perceiving, feeling and recounting violence beyond the accurate description of violent facts. / Si bien los estudios académicos sobre el tema de la literatura y la violencia en Colombia son bastante numerosos, estos han estado dirigidos al análisis de la violencia como un fenómeno perturbador del orden social, ya sea desde la Violencia política de los años 50 y 60, o bien desde la violencia del narcotráfico en los años 80 y 90. Sin embargo, en la literatura de las generaciones más jóvenes de escritores, la violencia no es necesariamente ejercida por actores tradicionalmente violentos que atenten contra el orden social, sino que este supuesto orden social es ya esencialmente violento, donde la violencia se manifiesta de manera simbólica, normalizada y profundamente enraizada en la vida social. La investigación se pregunta entonces, ¿de qué manera la violencia “tradicional” ha mutado hasta configurar la neo-violencia de hoy? ¿Cuáles son sus características? Pero, sobre todo, ¿de qué manera esta nueva violencia es contada por la literatura? El objetivo de esta investigación es el de identificar estas nuevas manifestaciones de la violencia en la literatura de la primera década del siglo XXI, producida por los escritores nacidos durante los años 70 e inicios de los años 80. La metodología se basa en el análisis de novelas y cuentos de escritores colombianos pertenecientes a esta generación, para establecer cómo la sobreexposición a una violencia endémica ha generado nuevas formas de ver, percibir, sentir y narrar lo violento más allá de la descripción de hechos concretos de violencia.

Analisa o exercício do domínio político por mais de quatro gerações no município e as razões pelas quais a política queimadense, desde o seu processo de emancipação, tem apresentado em suas disputas eleitorais ao cargo executivo, uma forte presença e definindo, a seu favor, a continuidade do poder no interior do grupo familiar ou de seus prepostos. Objetiva-se responder às seguintes questões: Através de que práticas se instituíram tal dominação? Qual a origem genealógica dessa família e seus ramos parentais? Quais as formas ou maneiras dessas famílias realizarem as ações políticas locais? Para responder a estas questões, em termos metodológicos, fez-se uso do trabalho de campo e da história oral, recorrendo principalmente, à memória, através de entrevistas abertas; outra fonte de pesquisa foram os jornais, vídeos e pesquisa bibliográfica. E como fio teórico condutor da análise, a abordagem de Pierre Bourdieu, a partir de sua proposta de Sociologia da Prática, pautada na noção de campo, habitus e capitais, atravessa todo o texto analítico. O texto assim, discorre sobre a genealogia desta família, tentando compreender os capitais que, historicamente, foram sendo construídos. E associado a isto, a dominação política que esta família foi exercendo através dos capitais construídos historicamente e das práticas e ações desenvolvidas localmente. Capitais estes que estão relacionados ao “nome da família”, a posse de terras, as práticas e ações que dizem respeito às relações de compadrio e as trocas de favores na sociedade queimadense. Desta feita, constatou-se que a dominação política local se estabelece a partir das ações de dependência construídas por aqueles que são detentores de um maior quantum de capital possível em relação àqueles que são desprovidos de capital. Fato que permite concluir que a dominação política exercida por esta família a partir das relações de compadrio e das relações de favores, é quem constroem os laços sentimentais e pragmáticos que ligam as pessoas à liderança, e a dependência política se traduz na triste frase “eu devo favor”, o que significa uma forma de gratidão, uma dívida cujo preço é a fidelidade sem limites, que pode resultar na possibilidade constante de subordinação pessoal e familiar, ou seja, na mais profunda violência simbólica. / The present dissertation objectives to analyze the discourses and the practices that allowed the perpetuation of local power of the family Ernesto-Rêgo in the city of Queimadas - PB. Analyzes the exercise of politic domain extended for more than four generations in the city and the reasons why politic of Queimadas, since its process of emancipation, has presented on its electoral disputes for executive loads, an strong presence and defined on its favor, the continuity of power in the interior of familiar groups or its functionaries. We objective to answer the following questions: Which practices instituted this domination? What are the genealogic origin of this family and its parental branches? How does this family realizes local politic actions? To answer these questions, in methodological terms, we did a camp work and oral history, appealing mainly to memory, through open interviews; another font of researches were the newspapers, videos and bibliographic research. And conducing this analyze, the boarding of Pierre Bourdieu, from his propose of Sociology of Practice, following the notions of campo, habitus e capitais, pass through the analytic text. The text discuss about the genealogy of this family, trying to understand the capitais that historically, were being build. And, associated to this, the politic domination that this family was doing through capitals historically constructed and the practices and actions developed locally. These capitals are related to “family name”, land ownership, the practices and actions that are related to proximal relationships and exchanged favors on the society. We contacted that local politic domination is established from actions of dependency built for those who detain the biggest quantity of possible capital in relation to that who are disproved of that. Fact that allows to conclude that politic domination exerted for this family of proximal relationships and favors relationships, build sentimental bows and pragmatics that link people to leadership, and political dependency is traduced in the sad statement: “I must reattribute a favor”, what means a way of gratitude, one bill that price is the fidelity without limits, that can result on the possibility of personal subordination and familiar, that is, the deepest symbolic violence.

The objective of this thesis is to do a comparative analysis of four Romany life-stories in prose from different parts of the world and identify features which may justly be called characteristic of Romany writing. The comparison of Victor Vishnevsky's Memories of a Gypsy, Mikey Walsh's Gypsy Boy and Gypsy Boy on the Run, Andrej Giňa's Paťiv. Ještě víme, co je úcta and Irena Eliášová's Naše osada yields valuable insights into how Romany writers construct their identity and to what extent their current work relates to the existing literary genres. Because of Romany studies' multidisciplinary nature, the extensive introduction lays the theoretical foundations for the analysis. I proceed from the characteristics of Romany studies in general in part 1.2 to the way it was practised during my undergraduate years in Prague as opposed to the Western tradition (part 1.3). Using a case study of the schism Romany studies are currently facing in the Czech Republic, in part 1.4 I attempt to illustrate the more general epistemological challenges the field has been grappling with between essentialist/primordialist and radical constructivist views. As there is a definite scarcity of theoretical literature conceptualising Romany writing, in part 1.5 of the introduction the existing body of work is assessed and found...

This sociological study explores the past and current higher education (HE) experience of educationalists at Gaza’s universities and how this experience may be evolving in the shifting socio-political context in the Arab World. The thesis is motivated by three questions: 1. What are the perspectives of academic staff in the Faculties of Education at Gaza’s universities on their own past HE experiences? 2. What are the perspectives of students and their lecturers (academic staff) in the Faculties of Education at Gaza’s universities on students’ current HE experiences? 3. How do educationalists in the Faculties of Education at Gaza’s universities perceive the shifting socio-political context in the Arab World, and what current or future impact do they think it will have on the education context at Gaza’s universities? To examine these questions, I conducted an inductive qualitative study. Using 36 in-depth, semi- structured interviews which lasted between (90-300 min), I collected data from educationalists (15 academic staff; 21 students) at two of Gaza’s universities. Due to difficulties of access to the Gaza Strip, the participants were interviewed via Skype from Cambridge. Informed by the literature review, and triangulated with other research activities, such as reviewing participants’ CVs, browsing universities websites, and keeping a reflective journal, a thematic analysis was conducted on the interview data. Theoretically, although this study has benefited from conceptual insights, such as those found in Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed and in Pierre Bourdieu’s work on symbolic violence, it is a micro-level study, which is mainly data driven. The findings of this research show that in the past, educationalists were relatively more passive in terms of shaping their HE experiences, despite efforts to become resilient. In the present, students and their lecturers continue to face challenges that impact negatively on their participation and everyday life at Gaza’s universities. However, how the HE experience will evolve out of this context in the future is uncertain. The Arab Spring revolutions have had an influence on Gaza HE institutions’ campuses as they have triggered more awareness of students’ grievances and discontent. Because of some political and educational barriers, however, students’ voices are a cacophony; they remain split between “compliance” and resistance (Bourdieu, 1984, p. 471; Swartz, 2013, p. 39). Previously, Sara Roy (1995) rightly indicated a structure of “de-development” in the Gaza Strip (p.110). The findings from this research show that the impact of occupation and of the changes in the Arab World on the educational context in Gaza are more complex than previously thought. There is a simultaneous process of construction and destruction that is both external and internal to educationalists and which undermines academic work at Gaza’s universities. Based on this, the study concludes by explaining six implications of this complex structure for academic practice at Gaza’s universities, offering nine policy recommendations for HE reform, and highlighting six areas for future research.
