O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar como se estabeleceram as relações de gênero nos processos de criação musical ao longo da história, e a oposição das mulheres compositoras em relação à dominação masculina, termo cunhado por Pierre Bourdieu, trazendo à tona questões como a visão androcêntrica, legitimadora das práticas de submissão feminina, bem como a dominação simbólica, pela qual as mulheres incorporam as relações de poder e reconhecem a sua submissão a um agente dominante. Ao analisar os papéis sociais desempenhados pelas mulheres, identifica-se que suas práticas cotidianas estão calcadas na visão androcêntrica, e que a estrutura patriarcal está presente tanto na esfera social como na esfera política e econômica. Ao longo da dissertação, foram também abordadas questões relacionadas à temática de gênero, através da análise de literaturas em outros campos do conhecimento humano. Em face ao alijamento da mulher na criação musical, detectar as composições ditas do universo feminino traz uma grande contribuição para a história da música e análise musical. Partindo do referencial da nova história, cuja contribuição consiste em questionar as categorias de dominação a partir das quais a história foi constituída, surge a questão: como analisar o contexto histórico musical partindo da experiência composicional feminina? Sobre a questão, é oportuno mencionar o que Joan Scott ressalta: que, ao se incluir à história a versão feminina, tem-se um novo entendimento daquela que os historiadores apontavam como a verdade total. Nesse sentido, Pilar López e Lucy Green também defendem que a mulher teve uma trajetória de muita luta para compor gêneros musicais que não aqueles preestabelecidos pela sociedade dominadora, ou seja, para criar obras ditas complexas, atividade que era considerada própria do universo masculino. Apesar dos obstáculos que a mulher teve de enfrentar no âmbito da criação musical, e de muitas compositoras terem criado peças ligadas mais à educação musical ou canções para poucos instrumentos, como piano e canto, algumas delas conseguiram compor obras mais complexas. / The purpose of this work is to demonstrate how gender relations were established in the musical creation processes throughout history, as well as the opposition of women composers against male domination, a term dealt by Pierre Bourdieu, bringing up issues like androcentric view, legitimizing practices of female submission, as symbolic domination, in which women incorporate power relations and recognize their submission to a dominant agent. Investigating roles played by women, some identifies that their quotidian practices are grounded in this androcentric sight, and that the patriarchal structure is present as in social as in political and economical spheres. All over the text, issues related to the theme of gender were also approached, through the analysis of literature in other fields of human knowledge. In light of women\'s casting off in musical creation, detecting compositions said to be part of feminine universe brings up a great contribution to the History of Music and Musical Analysis. As from the referential of New History, whose contribution consists in objecting the domination categories from which history was built, the question arises: How to analyze historical and musical context from the female compositional experience? About the question, it\'s appropriate to mention what Joan Scott emphasize, that, by including the female version of the history, one has a new understanding in spite of that the historians pointed as the whole truth. In this way, Pilar López and Lucy Green also defend that women have had a trajectory of hard struggle to compose musical genres other than those predetermined by the domineering society, that is, to create works said complexes, an activity that was considered proper to male universe. Despite the obstacles that women faced under the musical creation, and many composers have created more connected parts to music education or songs for a few instruments such as piano and singing, some of them managed to compose more complex works.

For the undertaking of this research we made use of a method which contemplated both qualitative and quantitative data analyses in loco observation and statistics thus, allowing us to interpret that the inhabitants of that village face a situation of crisis in the production of manioc flour, precisely, for having their right to farm their lands revoked by the INCRA, which had intervened in an agrarian conflict between the inhabitants and local grileiros . Therefore, it occurred to us that the inhabitants of Cariongo are now undergoing what we identified as a process of reconfiguration of their economic behavior. The interpretations made thereof were basically conducted by the theoretical and methodological orientation of the economic sociology of Karl Polanyi and Max Weber, apart from the analytical discussion on subsistence economies highlighting the historians Fernand Braudel and Immanuel Wallerstein who defend a rather contrary perspective to that of the neoclassical economic theory in the face of the expansion of the historical capitalism world economy. Thus, the economic field is the ultimate point of the present research and practically of the entire debate, however, there is no intention of limiting the discussion to this field alone, this way, the focus on that social reality also takes into consideration its relation to both political and cultural fields (with analysis of the educational capital) precisely given that we understand the multiple dimensions of social life as undoubtedly inseparable aspects, yet it is not about harmonious relations, the social realm is one of struggle between the agents, a realm of contention between those who dominate and those who are dominated. In regard to this analysis of the political and cultural fields we made use of the theoretical propositions of Pierre Bourdieu with his notion of domination and symbolic violence as means of appropriation of both economic and cultural capital. / Este trabalho ocupa-se de um estudo de campo sobre a vida econômica dos moradores da Vila Cariongo, em Santa Rita/MA. Para a realização desta pesquisa utilizamos o método misto quali-quanti observação in loco e estatística , desta maneira, tornou-se possível interpretar que os moradores daquela Vila enfrentam uma situação de crise da produção de farinha de mandioca, justamente por terem suas terras agricultáveis interditadas pelo INCRA, este que intermediou um conflito agrário entre moradores e grileiros locais . Diante deste problema, percebemos que os moradores do Cariongo enfrentam o que identificamos como um processo de reconfiguração dos comportamentos econômicos. As interpretações aqui realizadas foram conduzidas basicamente pelas orientações teórico-metodológicas da sociologia econômica de Karl Polanyi e Max Weber, além da discussão analítica sobre as economias de subsistência, com destaque aos historiadores Fernand Braudel e Immanuel Wallerstein que defendem uma posição contrária à teoria econômica neoclássica frente à expansão da economia-mundo do capitalismo histórico. Neste sentido, o campo econômico é o ponto nevrálgico da pesquisa e de praticamente todo o debate, no entanto, não há o intuito de reduzir a discussão a este único campo, sendo assim, o enfoque sobre aquela realidade social também considera a sua relação com o campo político e o campo cultural (com análise do capital escolar), justamente por entendermos as múltiplas dimensões da vida social como aspectos indubitavelmente inseparáveis, contudo não se trata de relações harmônicas, o espaço social é o espaço de lutas entre os agentes, o espaço de disputas entre dominantes e dominados. No que se refere a esta análise do campo político e do campo cultural fez-se uso das proposições teóricas de Pierre Bourdieu com a sua noção de dominação e violência simbólica enquanto mecanismos de apropriação do capital econômico e do capital cultural.

Ayant pour ambition de « rendre la parole » aux populations déshéritées de la ville de Pikine, banlieue de la capitale sénégalaise, Débat local est l’émission politique interactive de la radio communautaire Air’Jeunes fondée à la fin des années quatre-vingt-dix à l’initiative des associations de jeunes de la région dakaroise avec le soutien d’une grande ONG canadienne. Cette thèse étudie les usages de cette émission par les citoyens locaux dans les trois domaines principaux où les militants et promoteurs de la démocratie participative s’attachent à développer des dispositifs d’action citoyenne visant à corriger les défauts et insuffisances du gouvernement représentatif au regard de l’idéal démocratique : la place des citoyens dans le système de production des biens publics locaux, les relations symboliques entre les élus et les électeurs et l’espace public de débat sur les politiques publiques et l’action des représentants. À partir d’une étude de terrain à caractère ethnographique menée en trois séquences de 2006 à 2011 dans les studios de la radio et sur les lieux d’écoute de l’émission, il apparaît que si l’émission a permis à des formes de contestation du pouvoir local de s’exprimer publiquement sans médiation, la réalisation du projet originel de l’émission s’est heurtée à un contexte local défavorable marqué par l’absence de moyens donnés aux élus locaux pour exercer leurs compétences récemment décentralisées et par un journalisme politique local polarisé autour de deux formes dominantes laissant peu de place au débat argumenté : le journalisme antagonique des grands groupes privés et de la petite presse du secteur informel et le journalisme légitimiste du groupe public. En dépit de leur attachement militant au projet, les responsables de la radio et les animateurs de l’émission dont les origines sociales et les formations scolaires les tenaient très éloignés des formes de consommation des biens informationnels des Pikinois ainsi que des activités des associations informelles de quartier très vivantes dans la banlieue dakaroise ont progressivement cédé aux forces d’attraction qu’exerçaient les radios privées ordinaires sur leur vision de leur avenir professionnel personnel et, corrélativement, sur leur pratique journalistique. / Aspiring to “give a voice” to the poor people of Pikine, a suburb of the Senegalese capital, “Local Debate” is an interactive political programme of the community radio Air’Jeunes, created in the late nineties at the initiative of youth associations in the Dakar region with support from a major Canadian NGO. This thesis explores the use of this programme by local citizens in three main areas where activists and proponents of participatory democracy are committed to developing citizen action mechanisms, aiming to correct the defects and shortcomings under the democratic ideal of representative government: the role of citizens in the production system of local public goods, symbolic relationships between elected leaders and electors, and the public space for debate on public policies and the actions of representatives. Based on an ethnographic field study conducted in three phases between 2006 and 2011 in the radio production studio and the show’s listening sites, it appears that, even if the programme has enabled forms of contestation of local authority to be voiced publicly without mediation, the realisation of the original project faced an unfavourable local context marked by the lack of resources given to local officials to exercise their newly decentralised powers and a local political journalism polarised around two dominant forms, leaving little room for debate: the antagonistic journalism of big private groups and small informal press, and the legitimising journalism of the public service group. Despite their militant commitment to the project, radio staff and hosts whose social origins and educational backgrounds distance them from the forms of consumption of information goods and activities of Pikine’s inhabitants, as well as the dynamic activities of informal neighbourhood associations in the suburbs of Dakar, have gradually yielded to forces of attraction exercised by mainstream private radios, influencing their vision of their professional future and, in turn, their journalistic practice .

This dissertation interrogates the deficit assumptions about English proficiency of skilled immigrants who were recruited by Canadian governments between the late 1990s and early 2000s. Through the lens of literacy as social practice, the eighteen-month ethnographic qualitative research explores the sequential experiences of settlement and economic integration of seven well-educated Chinese immigrant professionals. The analytical framework is built on sociocultural approaches to literacy and learning, as well as the theories of discourses and language reproduction. Using multiple data sources (observations, conversational interviews, journal and diary entries, photographs, documents, and artifacts collected in everyday lives), I document many different ways that well-educated Chinese immigrants take advantage of their language and literacy skills in English across several social domains of home, school, job market, and workplace. Examining the trans-contextual patterning of the participants’ language and literacy activities reveals that immigrant professionals use literacy as assistance in seeking, negotiating, and taking hold of resources and opportunities within certain social settings. However, my data show that their language and literacy engagements might not always generate positive consequences for social networks, job opportunities, and upward economic mobility. Close analyses of processes and outcomes of the participants’ engagements across these discursive discourses make it very clear that the monolithic assumptions of the dominant language shape and reinforce structural barriers by constraining their social participation, decision making, and learning practice, and thereby make literacy’s consequences unpredictable. The deficit model of language proficiency serves the grounds for linguistic stereotypes and economic marginalization, which produces profoundly consequential effects on immigrants’ pathways as they strive for having access to resources and opportunities in the new society. My analyses illuminate the ways that language and literacy create the complex web of discursive spaces wherein institutional agendas and personal desires are intertwined and collide in complex ways that constitute conditions and processes of social and economic mobility of immigrant populations. Based on these analyses, I argue that immigrants’ successful integration into a host country is not about the mastery of the technical skills in the dominant language. Rather, it is largely about the recognition and acceptance of the value of their language use and literacy practice as they attempt to partake in the globalized new economy.
