Ensaios sobre a participação dos homens idosos no mercado de trabalho urbano brasileiro

Queiroz, Vívian dos Santos January 2014 (has links)
O objetivo dessa tese é analisar empiricamente a participação dos homens idosos no mercado de trabalho urbano brasileiro e estimar os ganhos econômicos a partir do Censo Demográfico de 2010. Os dados das PNADs entre 1995 e 2012 permitiram observar que a taxa de atividade média dos aposentados no período foi de 28% e dos não aposentados foi de 76%. Também foi possível constatar uma ligeira queda dessa taxa de atividade no final do período que pode estar relacionada com o envelhecimento populacional, ganho real do valor do benefício e melhora na economia. Os principais atributos dessa participação são: escolaridade, idade, rendimento de aposentadoria, condição na família, estado de saúde e emprego autônomo. A partir dos modelos empíricos, observou-se uma inter-relação entre a decisão de aposentadoria e oferta de trabalho e que a chance de ofertar trabalho aumenta para os idosos brancos, instruídos, que estudam, chefes de família, casados, residentes em áreas metropolitanas e que vivem com outros moradores no domicílio. Por outro lado, a idade, baixa escolaridade e problemas de saúde contribuem para elevar a chance de aposentadoria. A aposentadoria reduz os ganhos econômicos dos idosos no mercado de trabalho, principalmente dos menos instruídos, sustentando a hipótese de que os aposentados trabalham por necessidade de manter um padrão de vida e que a postergação da aposentadoria poderia aumentar o bem-estar dessas pessoas. Enfim, constatou-se que a condição de aposentadoria afeta a inserção ocupacional dos idosos e que a probabilidade de trabalho assalariado aumenta para aqueles que possuem elevada escolaridade, negros, estudam, residem em área metropolitana, possuem outros moradores do domicílio e com a elevada taxa de desemprego adulta. Por outro lado, ser branco, possuir elevada idade, chefe de família, casado e ter outras fontes de renda colabora para atuação por conta própria. A variável problema de saúde reduz a probabilidade de ingresso do não aposentado como autônomo, mas eleva essa chance para o caso do aposentado. O trabalho autônomo aumenta os ganhos econômicos dos não aposentados, mas reduz o retorno econômico do aposentado, principalmente os de baixo nível de estudo, indicando que os aposentados se inserem nessa ocupação para complementarem a renda de aposentadoria, de acordo com a necessidade que possuem. / The aim of this thesis is to make empirical analyses of the participation of elder men in the Brazilian urban labor market and to estimate the economic gains using the Brazilian Census of 2010. From the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios or PNAD (National Household Survey) between 1995 and 2012, it was observed that the average activity rate of the retired men was about 28% and for non-retired it was 76%. However, the participation of the elderly in the labor market showed small decrease in the period, which may be related to the aging population, the actual gain in the value of the retirement benefit and the improvement of the economy. The main attributes of this participation are: schooling, age, retirement income, family condition, health’s status and self-employment. The empirical models showed that the labor supply and the retirement are related. The opportunity to work increases for white people, educated, studying, head of household, married, living in the metropolitan areas and with other residents at home. On the other hand, age, low education, and health problems contribute to increase the possibility of retirement. The retirement reduces the economic gains of the elderly in the labor market, especially for the less educated, supporting the hypothesis that the retirees work by need to maintain a standard of living and therefore, the postponement of retirement could increase the well-being of these people. Finally, the results indicate that the occupation and retirement are associated and the variables that increase the wage-and-salary employment likelihood are: higher education, black race, studying, metropolitan area, other people living in the house and adult’s unemployment rate. The self-employment opportunity increases to white people, aged, head of household, married and have other sources of income. The health problem decreases to the self-employment probability to non-retired but it increases for the retired. Besides, self-employment rises the economic gains of the non-retired, but it reduces the economic return of the retiree, especially for those with low-level of study, and thus indicates that retirees may be involved in this occupation to supplement its retirement income, according to the need they have.

'The itinerant British showman' : an exploration of the history and contemporary realisation of three popular entertainment forms

Lidington, Anthony January 2016 (has links)
This thesis is a reflection upon three aspects of my practice as a performer: it explores the ways in which the seaside pierrot troupe, the fairground sideshow and the peepshow contribute to a deeper understanding of the showman’s role. This practice is combined with published materials in the form of broadcasts and publicly accessible media, which contextualize my research. I shall demonstrate how a showman may use historical performance forms to present subversive, social and political comment, in contemporary public space.

Trabalho, logo existo: o sentido do trabalho para os executivos e as práticas corporativas contemporâneas / Work, therefore i am: the meaning of work for executives and corporate practices contemporary

Ana Paula da Cunha Rodrigues 01 March 2013 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Essa pesquisa de mestrado pretende compreender as relações entre: o homem executivo, o trabalho e as práticas corporativas contemporâneas, em uma sociedade capitalista, denominada nesse estudo, modernidade tardia. Para o estudo desse tema foram priorizados pontos de reflexão relacionados à prática corporativa, tais como: pensar o trabalho na contemporaneidade observando suas características que se aproximam e se distanciam de outros momentos históricos; entender o trabalho, seus significados, suas transformações e suas estratégias atuais; refletir a respeito da perspectiva que o homem tem sobre o tempo e sua relação com a mudança do seu modo de viver; discutir o processo de desumanização do trabalho e das relações interpessoais na contemporaneidade; conhecer as atitudes do homem diante do trabalho e da vida em uma sociedade capitalista; observar e descrever a configuração atual do mercado de trabalho em algumas empresas privadas nacionais e multinacionais no Rio de Janeiro. O estudo das questões citadas permitiu tecer articulações sobre como o homem contemporâneo se relaciona com o trabalho corporativo e com os demais aspectos da vida, bem como sobre o estreitamento do tempo livre e encurtamento da vida em função do culto da alta performance. A escolha metodológica realizada nesta pesquisa é a abordagem qualitativa e método de entrevista narrativa, que conjuga reflexões teóricas à investigação empírica, colocando em questão a realidade cotidiana de profissionais que ocupam ou ocuparam posições de liderança em empresas. As modificações na importância e desdobramentos do trabalho observados atualmente estão relacionadas com as alterações na maneira como nossa sociedade tem lidado com o tempo, sua aceleração e com a vida. Vida entendida de forma mais ampla, onde haja espaço para a realização profissional e pessoal em diferentes espaços, bem como a possibilidade de execução de um trabalho que coadune motivações, interesses e potencialidades do indivíduo com uma contribuição efetiva para a sociedade, alinhada aos valores individuais. A opção de utilizar a terminologia sociedade da modernidade tardia em detrimento de sociedade atual decorre da observação da progressiva incorporação dos ideais capitalistas associados à aceleração do tempo e das maneiras de vivê-lo, por qual vem passando os processos produtivos, o trabalho, e as demais dimensões da vida humana. O trabalho no mundo corporativo obedece a regras particulares, que além de articuladas ao modelo econômico vigente, o capitalista, embute práticas e rituais que enfatizam o culto da alta performance. A presente pesquisa pretende analisar o trabalho dos executivos. Para isso, buscaremos analisá-lo segundo os modelos adotados em algumas empresas privadas, que consideraremos como o mundo corporativo e as implicações da adoção desses modelos para o exercício de uma vida mais plena de sentido existencial, a partir da minha experiência corporativa e da análise das entrevistas com executivos. / This master's research aims to understand the relationship between: executive work and contemporary business practices, in a capitalist society, called "society of late modernity". This study were prioritized topics related to corporate practice, such as working in contemporary thinking observing characteristics that approach and move away from other historical moments; understand the work, its meanings, its transformations and its current strategies; reflect on the perspective that man has over time and its relation to change their way of living; discuss the process of dehumanization of work and interpersonal relationships in contemporary; know the man's attitudes toward work and life in a capitalist society; observe and describe the current configuration of the labor market in some private national and multinational companies in Rio de Janeiro. The study of the issues mentioned joints allowed weaving about how man relates to contemporary corporate work and other aspects of life, as well as the narrowing of free time and shortening of life due to the high cult of "performance". The methodological choice made in this research is a qualitative approach and narrative interview method, which combines theoretical reflections to empirical investigation, questioning the reality of everyday professionals who occupy or have occupied leadership positions in companies. Changes in importance and ramifications of the work currently observed are related to changes in the way our society has dealt with time, and its acceleration with life. Life understood more broadly, where there is space for professional and personal achievement in different spaces, as well as the possibility of performing a job that befit motivations, interests and capabilities of the individual with an effective contribution to society, aligned to individual values. The option to use the terminology "society of late modernity" rather than "modern society" stems from the observation of the progressive incorporation of capitalist ideals associated with the acceleration of time and ways of living it, by what has been going production processes, the work, and other dimensions of human life. The work in the corporate world obeys particular rules, which articulated beyond the current economic model, the capitalist, embeds practices and rituals that emphasize the high cult of "performance". This research aims to analyze the work of executives. To do this, we will try to analyze it according to the models adopted in some private companies that consider how the corporate world and the implications of adopting these models to pursue a fuller life in an existential sense, from my corporate experience and analysis interviews with executives

Buscamos a identificação de possíveis imagens que resultam de tal (re)interpretação, associada, por sua vez, ao conhecimento geográfico. Assim, nossas reflexões se fundamentam na análise dos textos e da figura do HOMEM, presente nos três tipos de textos considerados, pois compreendemos sua atuação e interferência no espaço geográfico e, decorrente desta situação, questionamos quais imagens resultam e como interferem na consolidação do que denominamos Geografia da realidade e realidade geográfica. / This work is about an analysis of the images that we elaborated and/or we evoke when we observe the importance of the understanding of the reality, that is constituted with the action of the reading and, consequently, of the interpretation of texts of didactic, literary and also scientific character. We looked for the identification of possible images that they can result of such (re)interpretation, associated, for its time, to the geographical knowledge. So, our reflections are based on the analysis of the texts and of the MAN'S figure, present in the three types of the considered texts, therefore we understood its performance and interference in the geographical space and, due to this situation, we questioned which images result and as they interfere in the consolidation of what we denominate as Geography of the reality and geographical reality.

Art Installations In The Desert: A Participant Observation Study Of The Art Of Real Life Burning Man And Second Life Burn2

January 2014 (has links)
abstract: Black Rock City is a temporary city existing for one week in the harsh desert of northern Nevada. It plays host to the Burning Man festival with over 300 large-scale art installations and is considered to be the largest interactive art festival in the world. Besides the main burn, smaller local regional events have developed. These regional events encompass many of the same tenets as Burning Man including the presentation of large-scale art. Burn2 is the regional event held on the virtual world, Second Life. In 2013, both events used the theme of Cargo Cult as a stepping off point for the artists. Through the lens of spectacle, I used art criticism as a way to gain understanding of the artworks. Art criticism is a means of interpreting and appreciating artwork and is often used in the art classroom. Edmund Feldman's method promotes a deeper understanding of art and consists of four steps: description, formal analysis, interpretation and judgment. Using Feldman's method, I analyzed three artworks from the 2013 Burning Man festival and three works from Burn2. From interviews, photographs, and personal observations I analyzed the artworks. I used external analysis to compare the literature on similar festivals and the artworks with other events held in the real life and virtual world. I found in both events very similar concepts and themes. Artists had specific subject matter in mind when designing their installations. Artists used the theme as a stepping off point for rationalizing their content. Art made to be displayed at Burning Man was expensive; funding was a concern for all the artists. Burn2 artists were free from funding concerns even though there were expenses to making art in Second Life. Emerging themes were use of building materials and color, use of electronics and computer technology, art installations in festivals, spectacle, collaboration, and interactivity. Further implications included teaching about the engineering of structures, critical thinking about festival themes and the individual art installations, visual culture, and art making with these emerging art forms. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Curriculum and Instruction 2014

An exploratory study of asexual marriage on a Chinese website

Luk, Ka Wing 20 November 2013 (has links)
The process of individualization is increasingly permeating all levels of Chinese society. This research attempts to highlight some aspects on how Chinese individualization is emerging in marriage and the family through the prism of China’s emerging “asexual marriage” – a consensual partnership that has no sex or a limited amount of sex. Collecting qualitative data in different ways, this study first examines the less obvious and less studied effects of China’s sexual revolution as part of the individualization process brought to the asexual individuals on a specific matchmaking website WX920. One can see that these individuals undergo great suffering and are under pressure to find a partner in light of the sexual imperative in the couple relationship. My study also focuses on the idealized view of asexual marriage currently promoted by the rhetoric of affection. What is particularly striking is that the same ideal is perceived as equally worthy of a relationship in a proforma marriage with a homosexually inclined person, when one cannot meet an asexual partner. In addition, this study suggests the reintegration of individuals into a new type of collectivity – the family, which is primarily structured as a unit of emotional importance to the individual’s marital decision. Nevertheless, the other side of family connection constitutes a crucial dilemma for some non-conformist individuals, who are confronted with a dual demand for satisfying personal aspirations and family expectations. Drawing on the concept of “negotiated familism”, this study reveals how these individuals are by no means passive recipients and they actively engage in negotiation about their ideal of personal life through a marriage in form only. Finally, I will engage a discussion on individualizing trends by exploring asexual people’s reorganization of conventional norms of marriage and other expectations such as reproduction is given.

O estado beligerante : um estudo da formação do conceito na obra de Fred J. Cook e de Herbert Marcuse /

Carvalho, Débora Cristina de. January 2010 (has links)
Orientador: Milton Lahuerta / Banca: Vera Alves Cepeda / Banca: Robespierre de Oliveira / Banca: Luiz Antonio Calmon Nabuco Latória / Banca: Luis Fernando Ayerbe / Resumo: Este trabalho pretende investigar a formação do conceito de Warfare State, traduzido para o português como Estado Militarista (no livro de F.J.Cook) e como "Estado beligerante" (no livro A ideologia da sociedade industrial. O homem unidimensional de Herbert Marcuse.) A pesquisa tenta mostrar como Cook formulou originalmente tal conceito e como ele foi configurado em sua obra, a fim de mostrar, em seguida, como H Marcuse se apropriou dele em sua obra para conceber uma das dimensões da sociedade unidimensional. Após a análise comparativa das duas obras e do confronto entre elas, que as esclarece mutuamente, a pesquisa tentará ainda mostrar tanto como deve ser entendido o conceito de sociedade unidimensional quanto à atualidade do conceito de Estado Beligerante. / Abstract: This research studies the nature and the history of the concept The Warfare State in the book The Warfare State, writing by Fred J.Cook in 1962 and in the book of Herbert Marcuse One dimensional-man, writing in 1964. / Doutor

Este autor é um judeu italiano, personagem central de sua obra, que consiste no testemunho daquilo que viveu em Auschwitz, um dos maiores campos de concentração nazista. No livro, o autor recria, por meio da linguagem, um mundo extraliterário, o do campo, com sua arquitetura própria, sua organização interna e suas formas de controle e extermínio. Primo Levi narra as atrocidades cometidas por seres humanos contra outros seres humanos, de uma forma bárbara, deixando claro que, quando a luta é pela sobrevivência, os valores éticos e morais são postos à prova; ao mesmo tempo em que, no caso do carrasco, verdadeiras faces se revelam, trazendo à tona a força da barbárie e sua capacidade de ultrapassar todos os limites humanos. Primo Levi narra os fatos sentindo-se como que incumbido de um dever moral para com a sociedade, dever de falar em nome daqueles que não sobreviveram. Apesar da dificuldade de representação de sua experiência traumática, Levi expõe todo um sistema burocraticamente organizado que possibilitou que Auschwitz chegasse a ser o próprio horror; lugar onde a razão instrumentalizada desfez os princípios iluministas de progresso e animalizou os homens, condenados a uma violência destrutiva e mortífera, que, por sua vez, foi subsidiada pela própria noção de progresso e desenvolvimento técnico que marcou os ideais da modernidade. / This work aims at studying the relationship that exists among modernity, rationalization and violence in the book Is this a man?, by Primo Levi. This author is an Italian Jewish, the central character of his book, which consists in the testimony of what he lived in Auschwitz, one of the biggest Nazi concentration camps. In the book, the author recreates, through language, an extra literary world, that of the camp, with its own architecture, its organization and ways of control and extermination. Primo Levi tells the atrocities committed, in a barbaric way, by human beings against other human beings, which makes clear that, when the fight is for survival, ethical and moral values are tested; likewise, in the case of the executioner, true faces are revealed, showing the force of barbarism and its capacity of exceeding all the human limits. Levi tells the facts feeling as if in charge of a moral duty towards the society, the duty of speaking for those who did not survive. Despite the difficulties of representation of his traumatic experience, Levi exposes the whole bureaucratically organized system that made possible that Auschwitz ended up being the horror itself; the place where the instrumentalized reason destroyed the illuminist principles of progress and made men become animals, condemned to a destructive and deadly violence, that was subsidized by the notion of progress and technical development, which were signals of the modernity purposes.
