Territorialidade de resistência é a denominação dada nesse trabalho para os grupos de cultura de identidade que contestam a imposição da cultura majoritária a partir da sua singularidade de grupo que tentam preservar e ampliar seus projetos políticos de expansão de suas territorialidades. Esse trabalho apresenta indicativos metodológicos para a análise dessas territorialidades, cuja reflexão parte da discussão sobre a territorialidade de resistência da cultura surda com enfoque na língua brasileira de sinais (Libras) como elemento fundamental para a constituição das comunidades surdas como grupo de cultura de identidade. Para comprovar a constituição das comunidades surdas em territorialidades de resistência, são empregadas metodologias e referenciais teóricos da Nova História Cultural. Essas metodologias envolvem a análise de discurso da autobiografia entusiástica e interpelação presente nos depoimentos de surdos extraídos das obras de Strobel (2008) e Costa (2007). A seleção dos fragmentos dos depoimentos dos entrevistados apresentados pelas duas pesquisadoras citadas seguiu três critérios: utilização da língua de sinais em condições desfavoráveis como forma de resistência à vigilância ouvinte; atitudes e medidas de repressão aos surdos por usarem a língua de sinais; narrativas dos surdos que tomam a língua de sinais como principal elemento identitário. Nos depoimentos citados são destacados em negrito os fragmentos dos discursos referentes aos três critérios mencionados com o intuito de comprovar a utilização da língua de sinais como mito fundacional da cultura surda e a respectiva constituição de territorialidade de resistência. Trata-se, portanto, da análise de fontes secundárias com utilização metodológica da Nova História Cultural mediante a análise de fragmentos de discurso que expressem a interpelação, a autobiografia entusiástica e o uso da língua de sinais como mito fundador que fortalece as comunidades surdas enquanto grupo de cultura de identidade a partir da autodenominação de povo surdo. / Territoriality of resistance is the name given in this thesis for the identity culture groups that challenge the imposition of the majority culture on the basis of their group singularity, and which try to preserve and enhance their political projects of expansion of their territorialities. This study presents methodological indicatives for the analysis of these territorialities, a reflection on the basis of the discussion about territoriality of resistance of the deaf culture with a focus on the Brazilian sign language (Libras) as a fundamental element for the constitution of deaf communities as a culture and identity group. To substantiate the assertion that deaf communities are territorialities of resistance, methodologies and theoretical references from the New Cultural History are employed. These methodologies involve discourse analysis of the enthusiastic autobiography and questioning present in testimonies by deaf people extracted from the works of Strobel (2008) and Costa (2007). The selection of testimony fragments of the interviewees presented by the two authors followed three criteria: utilization of sign language in unfavorable conditions as a form of resistance to the listening vigilance; attitudes and measures of repression of deaf people for their usage of sign language; narratives of deaf people that take sign language as their main identity element. In the cited testimonies, the portions dedicated to these three criteria are in bold with the intention of substantiating the claim that the usage of sign language is the founding myth of deaf culture and the corresponding constitution of a territoriality of resistance. It is, therefore, the analysis of secondary sources with usage of New Cultural History methodologies through the analysis of discourse fragments that express questioning, enthusiastic autobiography and the usage of sign language as a founding myth that strengthens the deaf community as a culture and identity group on the basis of the self-determination of the deaf people.

Among territorial syrphids, Eumerus tuberculatus (Rond.) males are always less aggressive than Merodon equestris (Fab.) and Eristalis tenax (L.) males. This aggressive gradient is maintained despite the fact that the aggressive intensity of all three species increases with the density of conspecifies, varies with insect age and stage, and ceases if temperatures fall below a certain critical level or if sunlight disappears. Possible reasons for the difference in the inherent level of aggression are discussed. Males of all three species recognized conspecifie females through a combination of visual and behavioural cues. A territorial male approached all other intruders aggressively but attempted to mate with them if, like females, the intruders did not respond to the male's approach. Differences in behaviour patterns among species are tentatively traced to different energy budgets and mating strategies. Within each species, males and females show different temperature thresholds for activity. This finding is discussed in terms of energy requirements and reserves. The final two sections of the thesis deal with the agricultural implications of these results and with possibilities for future studies. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate

This dissertation is a study of territoriality as it may appear in children's experience of the neighborhood. A review of the literature on human territoriality reveals six major dimensions: boundaries and markers, defense and control, resources and activities, social relations, psychological qualities and identity. There is also an important developmental aspect, in which territoriality may be a natural outgrowth of human learning and maturation. An examination of theoretical approaches to child development provides some important insights toward uncovering a common process underlying territoriality and development, including an ecological definition of environment, the developmental theories of Piaget and the organismic-developmentalists, the psychoanalytic views of environmental mastery and transitional phenomena, play research, and the developmental approaches to spatial cognition. In a case study in Tucson, Arizona, the territorial dimensions of boundedness, activities, control, social relations, and identity were used as a framework for study of children's perception of and behavior in their neighborhoods. A sample of 100 children in Grades 4-6 at an elementary school were interviewed using an aerial photograph, as well as asked to provide a written description of their neighborhoods and take a Locus of Control Test. A smaller subsample of 15 was used for a more detailed study involving sketch maps, diaries, neighborhood tours, subject-employed photography, the Who Am I Test, and interviews with parents. The results suggested children's neighborhoods are well-defined spatially, and are seen primarily as an activity space. The neighborhoods were distinct from outside areas in terms of the amount, variety, and type of games and other activities, with a social organization that seemed to built upon play. However, a major portion of children's social relations, as measured by the locations of best friends, was not associated with their neighborhoods. Inside their neighborhoods were found most of the children's forts, playhouses, hideouts, and special play areas, but their favorite places were about evenly divided between locations inside and outside the neighborhoods. Neighborhood place associations were somewhat linked to personal identity, but not to locus of control. Limiting factors on the extent of the children's neighborhoods were parents, streets, and mode of transportation.

Loss of control is a well-documented human response to hospitalization. The purpose of this study was to construct and test a theoretical model of perceived territorial control among hospitalized adults. Territorial control was defined as the freedom or choice one has in regulating or influencing the objects, activities, and social intereactions within a particular space claimed or identified as one's own. The space of concern in this study was the patient's hospital room. The study focused not on the negative aspects of a loss of control but on the positive outcomes of having a sense of control. A three-stage, multivariate, causal-modeling design was used to estimate the impact of perceived territorial control on state anxiety and satisfaction with care in a convenience sample of 80 Hispanic and Anglo-American males and females between the ages of 18 and 79 who were in the hospital for short-term orthopedic care. Attitudinal, self-report measures were used predominantly. Instruments were constructed to index centrality of territory and territorial control perceptions. Correlational and multiple regression statistical techniques were used to estimate the theoretical model. Tests for violations of the statistical and causal assumptions were performed. Centrality of territory, assistance needs, and the powerful others locus of control significantly influenced patient territorial control perceptions. Temporal duration, internal locus of control, and chance locus of control made no significant impact on perceived territorial control. Patient territorial control perceptions significantly decreased state anxiety and significantly increased satisfaction with care. Perceived territorial control explained 24 percent of the variance in patient state anxiety and 21 percent of the variance in satisfaction with care. An unstaged, empirical test of the model increased the explained variance to 32 percent for state anxiety and 40 percent for satisfaction with care. There was a positive relationship (r = .41) between age and centrality of territory and a negative relationship (r = -.31) between age and state anxiety. The implications were related primarily to continued theory-building and the development of nursing practice theories.
