Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / A questão que move esta dissertação é a noção do liame composto a partir do encontro entre duas redes conceituais: o método de ensino musical Pré-Figurativo, de Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, e o pensamento sem imagem, de Gilles Deleuze. Tais conceitos são tomados, aqui, como Multiplicidades em que um é constituído pelo outro, e vice-versa. Trata-se, no caso do ensino musical pré-figurativo, de um método que não se utiliza de modelos prévios e por isso coloca o pensamento em devir e, do pensamento sem imagem, a maneira como tal movimento da produção desse devir-pensar se desterritorializa sendo capaz de delinear algo que ainda não existe, mas que pode existir. Isso caracteriza uma zona de vizinhança, uma espécie de telhagem (tuilage), ou timbragem (no sentido musical do termo), como num telhado mesmo, em que as telhas se recobrem apenas em partes o existir no outro e pelo outro simultaneamente, o que permite que se diga de um devir-outro. O que é um quase outro, mas que não se efetiva no outro ou como outro. Contudo, é com o advento desse liame, ou desse fazer borda, como diria Deleuze, que a música, como ato de criação, acontece, se produz, se autoproduz. / We work here with the notion of bond, composed by the meeting of two conceptual nets: the pre-figurative method of music education, by Hans-Joachim Koellreutter, and the thinking without an image, by Gilles Deleuze. These concepts are taken as multiplicities, one being constituted by the other and vice versa. In the case of pre-figurative, we have a method that does not use previous models and because that takes thinking as becoming; and thinking without an image is a deterritorialising movement designing something that still does not exist but that can exist. That characterized an area neighborhood, a kind of roof, or a tone (in a musical sense), like a concrete roof, in which the tiles to recover only in parts the existence in the other and for the other simultaneously, which allows it to be said of a becoming-other. What is almost another, but it is not another or like another. Its starting from this bond, or this edging, as Deleuze would say, that music, as an act of creation, happens, or is produced.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / The birth of a new member in the family can cause changes in the routine of this group, requiring an adjustment in the lives of all family members involved in this situation. The changes are related not only to family dynamics, but also to the development of new roles and identities. Currently, some grandparents play the role of caregivers, offering moral, financial and emotional support to children and grandchildren. This dissertation deals with this theme, and is composed by two articles. The first study is a critical integrative review aimed to investigate the scientific publications on the topic of grandparents, published from 2005 to 2015. A search of national studies was performed on the SciELO and PEPSIC databases. They selected 14 articles. It was found that grandparents are important sources of emotional support, and affection both for children and for their grandchildren, particularly in contexts of teenage pregnancy, grandchildren with disabilities and breastfeeding. The second study aims to know how was the process of becoming a grandmother in the context of adolescent pregnancy. The participants were 12 women in the age group of 29-55 years. Information was collected in Health Basic Units of a city in Rio Grande do Sul through semi-structured interviews and incomplete sentences game. The analysis was based on the theoretical model of Grounded Theory (DFT). Becoming a grandmother was found to be characterized by negative (fear, anger, sadness) and positive feelings (happiness). Participants report that they never imagined becoming a grandmother at this time of their lives. Some grandparents consider that being a grandmother is to be the second mother of the child. It highlights the need for development of public policies that address this audience, and the inclusion of their participation in health promotion activities. / O nascimento de um novo membro na família pode provocar mudanças na rotina das pessoas que a compõem, o que torna necessário um ajustamento na vida de todos os familiares envolvidos nesta situação. As mudanças não se relacionam somente a dinâmica familiar, mas também a elaboração de novos papéis e identidades. Atualmente, alguns avós desempenham função de cuidadores, oferecendo apoio afetivo, moral, financeiro e suporte emocional aos filhos e netos. Essa dissertação trata desse tema, sendo composta por dois artigos. O primeiro estudo busca realizar uma revisão integrativa de literatura com o objetivo de investigar as publicações científicas sobre o tema avós , publicadas no período de 2005 e 2015. Foi realizada uma busca de estudos nacionais nas bases de dados SciELO e PePsic. Foram selecionados 14 artigos. Constatou-se que os avós são fontes importantes de suporte emocional, carinho e afeto tanto para os filhos como para os netos, isso é particularmente estudado nos contextos de gravidez na adolescência, netos com deficiência e aleitamento materno. O segundo estudo tem como objetivo conhecer como ocorreu o processo de tornarse avó no contexto da gravidez adolescente. Participaram da pesquisa 12 mulheres na faixa etária dos 29 a 55 anos. As informações foram coletadas em Unidades Básicas de um município do Interior do Rio Grande do Sul por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e do jogo de sentenças incompletas. As análises das informações basearam-se no modelo teórico da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD). Constatou-se que o momento de tornar-se avó caracteriza-se por sentimentos negativos: medo, raiva, tristeza e, positivo: felicidade. As participantes descrevem que não imaginavam tornar-se avó neste momento de suas vidas. Algumas avós consideram que ser avó é ser a segunda mãe da criança. Destaca-se a necessidade de elaboração de políticas públicas que contemplem esse público, além da inclusão de sua participação nas ações de saúde.

Depuis le début des années 1990, Marcos Novak développe une architecture numérique expérimentale qu’il appelle « transarchitecture ». Le fil directeur de cette dernière est l’idée d’un « devenir alien », c’est-à-dire un devenir autre radical de l’homme comme de l’architecture, de l’habitant comme de l’habitation, impulsé par les nouvelles technologies. L’objet de cette recherche est d’interroger la notion de « devenir alien » à partir et à travers deux figures de l’étrangeté humaine : l’Unheimliche, théorisé par Sigmund Freud, et l’Unheimlichkeit, développé par Martin Heidegger. Notre thèse est que le « devenir alien » est une nouvelle figure de l’étrangeté, propre à notre époque. Quand l’Unheimliche serait la figure d’une étrangeté psychologique et l’Unheimlichkeit celle d’une étrangeté ontologique, le « devenir alien » serait la figure d’une « étrangeté numérique ». Par cette expression, nous visons à qualifier l’effacement des dichotomies classiques (proche/lointain, naturel/artificiel, organique/synthétique, etc.) entraîné par nos technologies et l’effet d’étrangeté diffus qui semble en résulter, affectant l’ensemble de nos expériences, de nos représentations et de notre habitation du monde.Nous proposons, enfin, de considérer en quoi, par la « transarchitecture » et la notion de « devenir alien », s’ébauchent à la fois la possibilité d’un « faire-monde » nouveau, ouvrant la voie à un réenchantement, et le risque d’une « immondation ». C’est alors la question de l’éthique qui émerge, une éthique technologique, mais aussi écologique, économique et politique : en somme, une éthique de l’habitation du monde que l’architecture doit plus que jamais porter.Mots-clés : inquiétante étrangeté, « transarchitecture », condition humaine, corps, identité, devenir, habitation, désenchantement/réenchantement, éthique. / Since the early 1990s, Marcos Novak has promoted a digital and experimental architecture called “transarchitecture.” The guiding principle of it is the idea of “becoming alien,” that is to say a radical becoming other of man and architecture, inhabitant and inhabitation, driven by new technologies.The purpose of this research is to examine the notion of "becoming alien" from and through two figures of human uncanniness: the Unheimliche theorized by Sigmund Freud, and the Unheimlichkeit developed by Martin Heidegger.Our thesis is that “becoming alien” is a new figure of uncanniness, proper to our time. When the Unheimliche would figure a psychological uncanniness, and the Unheimlichkeit an ontological one, “becoming alien” would be a figure of a “digital uncanniness.”By this expression, we aim to qualify the erasure of conventional dichotomies (near / far, natural / artificial, organic / synthetic, etc.) carried by our technologies, as well as the effect of diffuse strangeness that seems to result of it, affecting all of our experiences, our representations our inhabitation of the world.Finally, we suggest considering the ways in which “transarchitectures” and the notion of “becoming alien” sketch out both the possibility of a new “worldmaking” paving the way for a reenchantment, and the risk of a “deworldlizing.”Therefore, the question of ethics emerges; a technological ethics, but also an ecological, an economic and a political one: in short, an ethics of inhabitation of the world that architecture must address more than ever before.Keywords: uncanny, “transarchitecture,” human condition, body, identity, becoming, inhabitation, desenchantement/reenchantement, ethics.

This study embarked on exploring the experience of becoming and being a lay volunteer counsellor from a psychological perspective. Six participants were interviewed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as the research method. Race and gender are divided equally amongst Black, Caucasian, male, and female participants. Numerous dimensions relating to the lived experience of lay volunteer counsellors are investigated in the present literature, suggesting that the experience of becoming and being a lay volunteer counsellor is multifaceted. The subjective experience of each of the participants was explored, with the optimism that this exploration would expound on the multilateralism of these facets. Although specific experiences remain exclusive to each participant, the intersecting and co-creation of meanings culminated in the cultivation of themes common to the participants. These themes are examined against the literature, critically appraising supportive and distinct suggestions. As is evident from the results, participants have a profound appreciation of the stimuli which influence their experiences of lay volunteer counselling, but also of the circumstances surrounding the origins of their sense of volunteerism. Even though some of the literature addressed themes relevant to the participants’ experiences, a small number of themes could not be juxtaposed against available literature. Based on the narratives of the participants, as well as data in the literature, volunteers constitute a reasonable component of the service sector and assist a sizeable population. Therefore, the value of the lay volunteer counselling population should be recognised in order to develop further training and support programmes for this subpopulation. As it appears, recognising the essence of this value begins with appreciating the experience of becoming and being a lay volunteer counsellor.

Föräldrablivandet är en process som startar redan under graviditeten, då förälderns emotionella band till sitt ofödda barn – den prenatala bindningen – har visat sig ha en betydande inverkan på barnets framtida utveckling och hälsa. Denna prenatala bindning är ett område som har tenderat att förbli ouppmärksammat i den kliniska verksamheten och delvis även inom forskningen, trots att brister i bindning har lyfts fram som bland det allvarligaste inom området. Syftet med föreliggande intervjustudie var därför att undersöka och således erhålla en ökad förståelse för psykologers upplevelse och erfarenhet av arbetet med prenatal bindning. Åtta intervjuer med åtta yrkesverksamma psykologer vid mödra- och barnhälsovårdsenheter genomfördes och analyserades med tematisk analys. Det sammantagna resultatet av analysen påvisade att det finns en samstämmighet i deltagarnas upplevelser och erfarenheter. Deltagarna uppmärksammar en brist på nationella riktlinjer för arbetet med prenatal bindning, vilket skapar en viss osäkerhet i yrkesutövandet. Denna grundas främst på ett svårtillgängligt och otillräckligt kunskapsunderlag samt att det är ett relativt okänt och oanvänt begrepp. Däremot lyfts behovet av att på ett enklare sätt kunna kommunicera kring graviditetens relationella aspekter, där begreppet prenatal bindning blir centralt. Resultaten indikerar ett behov av att på ett tydligare och mer nationellt jämlikt sätt lyfta det psykologiska perspektivet inom mödra- och barnhälsovården, där psykologprofessionen har ett viktigt bidrag utifrån sin expertis. / Becoming a parent is a process that starts during pregnancy, where the parent's emotional bond to their unborn child – the prenatal bond – has been shown to have a significant impact on the child's future development and health. Prenatal bonding is an area that has tended to remain inattentive, in clinical practice and partly also in scientific research, even though insufficient bonding has been highlighted as among the most severe in the field. The purpose of the present interview study was therefore to investigate and thus gain an increased understanding of psychologists' experience of working with prenatal bonding. Eight interviews with eight psychologists at different Maternal Health Care units were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The result showed that there is a consistency in the participants' experiences. They draw attention to a lack of national guidelines for the work with prenatal bonding, which creates an amount of uncertainty in the health practice. This is mainly since it is a relatively unknown and unused concept, with a difficult-to-access and insufficient knowledge base. The need to be able to communicate in a simpler way about the relational aspects of pregnancy is emphasized, where the concept of prenatal bonding becomes central. The results indicate a need to raise the psychological perspective within Maternal Health Care units in a clearer and more nationally equal way, where psychologists as a profession have an important contribution based on their expertise.

This essay applies human-animal studies in relation to the Swedish author Kerstin Ekman's books Guds barmhärtighet (1999), Sista Rompan (2002) and Skraplotter (2003) together called Vargskinnstrilogin. Kerstin Ekman's authorship is characterized by a coexistence between human, nature and animals where the stories entangle them into a dense complexity. As a reader, one is constantly reminded of this coexistence through Ekman's narrative approach as her stories contain many contact zones between humans and animals, which creates space for problematizing this entangled coexist from a posthumanistic perspective. The animals in the stories are at different distances to the human being based on their characteristics of being regarded as wild, domesticated or ferral. Based on these three categories, the wolf as a representative of the wild animals is analyzed in a theoretical context focusing on the function of different power structures within the anthropocentric paradigm. Ferral conditions are analyzed on the basis of, among other things, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's theories of animal-becomings, escape lines and rhizom where the dog mainly exists when it is embodied in close interaction with humans in Ekman's stories. The domesticated animals are analyzed on the basis of the tension between rural and urban, where the progress of the civil society are rapidly changing during the 20th century which creates changed relations between people and agricultural animals.

The purpose of this study is to explore the affective capacity of the Tabi boots by examining the object through the ideas of deconstruction. The boots by Maison Martin Margiela were first introduced in 1989 and sold in different variations over the course of the past 30 years. Although there have been several attempts to acknowledge the importance of the body in fashion studies, scholars have not focused on the literal experience of wearing a garment, examined through the touch. Thus, this study begins with a close object study of a pair of Tabi boots and draws on phenomenology to capture the feeling of being dressed. The emphasis is laid upon exploring how the ideas of deconstruction are embedded in the Tabi boots while staying open to other theoretical inquiries. Striving to test the affective potential of the boots, deduced in the first chapter, the second part of this thesis moves from the perception of the ‘I’ to other wearers of the Tabi boots. In conducting qualitative semi-structured interviews, the aim is to understand how the characteristics of the boots may affect the wearer and how this affective capacity may lead to a becoming, as defined by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Guided by ‘applied theory’, this thesis allowed material, theory, and methods to continuously interact and affect each other.

Syftet med denna studie var att studera otrygghet bland tjejer som går i gymnasiet i Skellefteåkommun. Informationsinsamlingen har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Tidigareforskning i ämnet visar bland annat att den största rädslan bland tjejer är att utsättas försexuella övergrepp. De flesta intervjudeltagarna i denna studie beskrev specifika områden i Skellefteå de väljer att undvika för att de känner sig otrygga på platsen. Mörkret spelade enroll på nästan alla tjejers otrygghet, där avsaknaden av kontroll på omgivningen beskrivs varadet jobbigaste. Även media beskrivs ha en roll i den upplevda otryggheten. Avslutningsvis,och det som kan vara grunden till en stor del av otryggheten, så beskrivs det upplevdaproblemet med samhället som mansdominerat. De främsta förebyggande åtgärderna someftersöks är bättre belysning utomhus, samt tidiga åtgärder för att på sikt förändra mannenssyn på kvinnor. / The purpose of this degree project has been to study levels of insecurity related to fears ofbecoming a victim of crime. Female students of Skellefteå municipality at upper secondarylevel have been the focus of this study. The material has been gathered throughsemistructured interviews. Previous research has shown that one of the greatest fears is thefear of becoming a victim of sexual assault. In this study the interviewees describe certainareas of Skellefteå which they try to avoid due to the fear of becoming a victim of crime.Darkness was a factor which recurringly was described as troublesome and the lack of controlin dark environments as the main cause of distress. The interviewees describe media as a partof their fear of becoming a victim of a crime and understand the society as male dominatedand that certain male behaviour is at the root of the issue. To come to terms with the problem,preventive actions such as better lighting outside and early preventive measures to changehow men behave around women was sought after.

Situated in environmental history and ecocriticism, this thesis traces the emergence of modern Japanese literature at the beginning of the twentieth century. Using agential realism and its concepts ‘diffraction’ and ‘becoming’, this thesis conducts an anti-essential ecocritical analysis. It aims to overcome recurring dualisms in literary analyses and to trace negotiations of concepts such as ‘nature’ and ‘self’ in modern Japanese literature. The thesis scrutinises ‘diffractions’ between the subject and the object in novels and through very acts of producing novels. These ‘diffractions’ are analysed in relation to ‘becomings’ of the concept ‘nature’ as well as ‘literature’ in the context of Japanese modernisation. Based on diverse struggles in ‘becomings’ in modern literary history, the thesis concludes with questioning the cliché of Japanese culture (the lack of absolute ‘self’ and ‘love of nature’) and also comments on analyses of ‘diffractions’ as a viable method for ecocritical analyses or the ‘ecologisation’ of literary analyses.
