Gender-based violence is a violation of human rights and includes acts that result in / Thesis (Ph.D.) - University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2006.

Amartya Sen has sought to refocus development theory towards the ultimate goal offreedom, and has in this context emphasised the importance ofeducation in building human capabilities to lead the lives they have reason to value. However, research suggesting that gender-based violence is prevalent in the South African school system represents a paradox as it reveals that years of schooling can contribute to deprivation and capability failure rather than enhanced human capabilities and development. Literature reviewed for this dissertation suggests that over and above the lost educational opportunities due to gender-based violence in schools, it can cause long-term and even terminal health damages and contribute to increased societywide levels of violence with substantial socio-economic costs. Anti-violence interventions among learners have been found to have minimal effect unless they are supported by the overall school culture. However, educators who are expected to ensure a safe school environment are not only responding inadequately to cases of genderbased violence between learners, but some are personally engaging in acts ofgender violence towards learners. Recognising the significant role ofeducators, both as part ofthe problem and as key to any solution, this dissertation seeks to improve understanding ofthe context within which interventions at the level ofeducators may be possible. This study explores what previous research have identified as common attitudes, beliefs and knowledge gaps among educators in schools with high levels ofgender-based violence. Findings include confusion about the legal and policy framework as it applies to such cases, a lack of will to acknowledge the problem and inadequate understanding ofgender-based violence. The construction of men and women as essential opposites has been identified as an underlying reason for inadequate acknowledgement and understanding. Research on these dimensions forms the basis for a study using survey and focus group methodologies to assess the prevalence of such attitudes and knowledge gaps of issues around gender-based violence among student teachers about to fmalise their studies and start their professional lives as educators. The data collected suggests that the student teachers will vary considerably in their ability to respond to cases ofgender-based violence. A more concerted effort is required in order to prepare student teachers for the problem ofgender-based violence and enable them to create more gender-friendly school environments. Possible routes for improvement are suggested. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 2008.

This study examines attitudes regarding general violence, violence against women, gender roles, and rape myth and how they relate to music preference. Surveys were completed by 321 students from two large introductory sociology classes at a midsize Midwestern university. Data were analyzed using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression. The results indicate that those who listen to predominantly rap and r&b music are more accepting of general violence and violence against women. Also, findings support the idea that amount of music videos viewed affects views on gender roles. Results show no support for a relationship between attitudes about rape myth and listening to rap and r&b music. / Department of Sociology

Orientador: José Horta Nunes / Banca: Cláudia Castellanos Pfeiffer / Banca: Dantielli Assumpção Garcia / Resumo: Nesta dissertação, tem-se por objetivo, a partir dos princípios teóricos da Análise de Discurso de linha pechetiana, analisar o discurso administrativo sobre a mulher e sua constituição pelo discurso político, pelo discurso jurídico e pelo discurso assistencial. Além disso, a partir do material de análise, busca-se também observar como o dizer administrativo sobre a mulher funciona e produz sentidos em meio a outras discursividades que heterogeneamente se manifestam, como o discurso de igualdade de direitos entre o sujeito masculino e feminino, o discurso de orientação da mulher agredida, o discurso de incentivo à denúncia das agressões, o discurso de combate e de prevenção à violência doméstica. Desse modo, para estudar o dizer das políticas públicas voltadas à população feminina, tomou-se por base não só enunciados retirados de textualizações de política pública que trazem marcas de um discurso político-administrativo - como o "II Plano Nacional de Políticas para as Mulheres - II PNPM" (2008), folders de combate à violência doméstica, a publicação "Violência contra a mulher em Rio Preto" (2008) e a cartilha "Nem mais nem menos: iguais" (2005) -, mas também enunciados selecionados das entrevistas realizadas com a secretária administrativa, com a assistente social, com a advogada e com a psicóloga da "Secretaria Especial dos Direitos e Políticas para Mulheres, Pessoa com Deficiência, Raça e Etnia", do município de São José do Rio Preto (SP). Enunciados esses que, neste trabalho, também são significativos para o estudo do discurso administrativo sobre a mulher / Abstract: The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the administrative discourse related to women and its formation through the political, legal and social care discourses. The theories which were used follow the French line of research proposed by Pêcheux for Discourse Analysis. Moreover, through the investigation of the research material, this study aims to observe the administrative speeches about women and their role as sense-makers among many other discourses, which manifest their practices heterogeneously; for instance, the discourse of equal rights for male and female, the keynote discourse for psychological and physiological assaulted women, encouraging them to report the aggressions, as well as the discourse for domestic violence prevention. Therefore, in order to comprehend the Public Policies' speeches related to women population, this research is based not only on statements which were extracted from Policies' textualizations and which have marks of political and administrative discourses - for example, the "II Plano Nacional de Políticas para as Mulheres - II PNPM" (Second National Plan for Women (2008)); some pamphlets developed to prevent domestic violence; the paper "Violência contra a mulher em Rio Preto" (Violence Against Women in Rio Preto (2008)); and the booklet "Nem mais nem menos: iguais" (Neither more nor less: equal (2005)) - but also on some statements selected among the interviews performed with an administrative secretary, a social worker, a lawyer and a psychologist, who work for the "Secretaria Especial dos Direitos e Políticas para Mulheres, Pessoa com Deficiência, Raça e Etnia" (Special Secretariat of Rights and Policies for Women, People with Disabilities, Race and Ethnicity) in São José do Rio Preto (SP). It is important to consider that, in our investigation, these statements have an indispensable meaning for the study about ... / Mestre
