In other words, we analyzed if the production universe of this practice is characteristic of a hierarchical social environment organized according to specific interest logic and presenting tangential points with other social universes. We investigated if it is a relatively autonomous space, a kind of microcosm which operates like a force field, in which there are fights for its transformation or conservation. A kind of society with its own bonds, rules and consecration institutions within our society. To achieve this purpose, we analyzed the identitarian speeches of its agents - the meanings that advertising students and professionals share about this practice considering their positions in the social structure. This analysis allowed us to investigate if this correlation indicates the existence of an advertising field / Nesta dissertação, discutimos a pertinência da noção de campo social desenvolvida pelo sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu como ferramenta teórica de análise científica da prática publicitária realizada hoje no Brasil. Por outras palavras, discutimos se o universo de produção dessa prática apresenta as características de um espaço social hierarquizado segundo uma lógica específica de interesses, com pontos de tangências com outros universos sociais. Ou seja, se ele constitui um espaço relativamente autônomo, espécie de microcosmo que opera como um campo de forças, onde ocorrem lutas pela sua transformação ou conservação. Uma espécie de sociedade com vínculos, regras e instituições de consagração próprias dentro de nossa sociedade. Para tanto, analisamos os discursos identitários de seus(as) agentes isto é, os significados que estudantes e profissionais da publicidade compartilham acerca dessa prática à luz da posição que ocupam hoje na sua estrutura social. Buscamos, com isso, investigar em que medida essa correlação nos indica a existência de um campo propriamente publicitário

Partimos de duas perguntas: Como estão organizadas, em termos de quadros teóricos e escolhas metodológicas, as teses no período? Que temas estão sendo abordados, nesses trabalhos, sob os descritores Artes Cênicas e correlatos? Estudo de Caso foi a estratégia metodológica, tomando como marco conceitual a teoria do Campo Social de Pierre Bourdieu, dividida em duas etapas. A etapa exploratória constou do panorama da área Artes/Música e da produção acadêmica em Artes Cênicas no triênio. Em seguida, a etapa descritiva, explanatória e analítica do objeto: um recorte da produção acadêmica em artes Cênicas no país. Considerando que quatro Programas de Pós-Graduação ofereceram curso de Doutorado no triênio, mas apenas três disponibilizam as teses on-line, destacam-se os seguintes resultados: 101 defesas de tese realizadas no triênio, com 45 teses disponíveis on-line em versão completa; predominância de pesquisas com foco em análise de propostas metodológicas relativas ao fazer artístico e estudos sobre aspectos históricos e conceituais das Artes Cênicas; grande variedade e uso não uniforme de descritores nas teses, o que dificulta tanto o acesso à produção quanto a constituição do próprio campo; baixa ocorrência de descrição e reflexão epistemológica sobre método; predominância de Estudos de Caso e Relatos de Experiência; predominância de autores do Teatro utilizados como referência; organização formal que tende a reproduzir o protocolo da pesquisa artística, descrevendo processos de aproximação ao objeto, sem apresentar claramente tema, objeto, objetivos, método e resultados. A investigação apontou que o campo acadêmico das Artes Cênicas faz conviver, em seu espaço e entre seus agentes, habitus de campos historicamente distintos, o artístico e o acadêmico, operando a dupla historicização entre universo artístico e universo acadêmico tradicional. / This thesis aimed to explore, describe and analyze the theoretical orientations, methodological and thematic present in Brazilian theses in Performing Arts, available online in the triennium 2007-2009. We start with two questions: How are the theses in the period organized in terms of theoretical and methodological choices? What topics are being addressed, in these papers, under the descriptors of Performing Arts and its related topics? The method was the case study, using Bourdieu’s Social Field theory as a conceptual basis. We developed an exploratory stage of the research in which we construct a panorama of the Arts/Music area and Performing Arts in academic production in those three years. This step was followed by a descriptive, explanatory and analytical context of production (authors, counselors, stalls, financing and lines of research); descriptors; objects, methodological strategies and theoretical. Whereas four programs offered Postgraduate Doctoral degree in three years, data collection underscored, among others, the following results: observation of 101 thesis defenses held in three years, with 45 theses available online in full version; predominance of studies focusing on analysis of methodological proposals relating to art making and research on historical and conceptual aspects of the Performing Arts; variety and heterogeneous use of descriptors in the theses, which hinders access to both production and the establishment of the field itself, low occurrence of description and reflection on epistemological method; predominance of the characteristics of Case Studies and Experience Reports on methodological organization of research; predominance of authors from the Performing Arts used as reference, and prevalence of formal organization that tends to reproduce the research protocol artistic approach procedures describing the subject of study, without presenting clear theme, objectives, method and results. The research pointed out that the academic field of Performing Arts live in your space and among its agents, habitus of historically distinct fields – both artistic and academic – operating the double historicization between artistic universe and traditional academic field.

The study, based on Pierre Bourdieu and collaborators sociological perspective, was developed based on the educational and professional trajectories analysis of students at a technical high school in São Paulo state. The analysis was preceded by a bibliographical study about the historical context of the professional education in Brazil, which had as a backdrop its main target public throughout the years, as well as the considerations concerning professionalization in the context of productive restructuring. The propensity to the technical education was analyzed based on the students social status and their internalized dispositions, designated habitus. It was observed that the inclination to the technical education is supported on a disposition that emphasizes the work instead of long studies. That trend establishes a contradiction lived by the families between the ideal the school longevity and the necessary the work. That internalized and durable disposition tends to determine the studies extension which, according to them, must be associated to the professional insertion. However, the education is assimilated as primordial for social mobility and the students internalize the idea that is necessary to continue studying. In this direction, the technical education, currently organized as a quickly course, is considered as a possibility for obtaining the studies extension, since other ways for that are uncertain or financially unfeasible. In most cases analyzed, the technical education has an instrumental meaning, as a way to aid in the self-subsistence for a future maintenance in the higher education, as a way to help to get better professions. On both cases, this education is assimilated as a form to enhance competition and not necessarily the obtention of work in the technical formation area. / A pesquisa visou analisar os condicionantes que motivaram alunos do ensino técnico de nível médio a buscar uma formação nesta modalidade de ensino, compreender o significado desta escolaridade para eles, bem como as expectativas e aspirações futuras no tocante à educação e ao trabalho. O estudo foi desenvolvido a partir da análise de trajetórias escolares e profissionais de estudantes de uma escola técnica do Estado de São Paulo e foi pautado na perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu e colaboradores. As análises foram precedidas por um estudo bibliográfico sobre o histórico do ensino profissional no Brasil, tendo como pano de fundo a clientela deste ensino ao longo dos anos, assim como por considerações acerca da profissionalização no atual contexto de reestruturação produtiva. As orientações para o ensino técnico foram analisadas tendo por base a posição social dos estudantes e as disposições interiorizadas, denominadas habitus. Verificou-se que o direcionamento ao ensino técnico tem por base uma disposição que privilegia o trabalho em detrimento de longos estudos e integra uma contradição vivida pelas famílias entre o ideal a longevidade escolar e o necessário o trabalho. Esta disposição interiorizada e durável tende a condicionar que o prolongamento dos estudos esteja atrelado à inserção profissional. Não obstante, a educação é assimilada como primordial para a ascensão social e os alunos interiorizam a idéia de que é preciso continuar estudando. Nesse sentido, o ensino técnico, organizado na atualidade como um curso aligeirado, é assimilado como possibilidade de prolongar a escolaridade, já que outros meios para tanto são incertos ou financeiramente inviáveis. Na maioria dos casos analisados, o ensino técnico possui um significado instrumental, seja como forma de auxiliar na auto-subsistência para uma futura manutenção no ensino superior, seja para ajudar a obter melhores trabalhos. Em ambos os casos, este ensino é visto como uma maneira de auxiliar na concorrência e não necessariamente na obtenção de um trabalho na área de formação técnica.

Foundation provisioning has a long history in South Africa, and is central to the transformation agenda, particularly the broadening of successful participation in higher education (HE). As access initiatives underpinned by various conceptualisations, foundation programmes evolved from peripheral, to semi-integrated and finally fully integrated curricular models in the form of current Extended Studies Programmes (ESPs). Underpinning the provision of Extended Studies is the acknowledgment that students who enter institutions are essentially ill equipped to cope with the demands of higher education studies, “leaving institutions themselves free of the responsibility of student failure” (Akoojee & Nkomo, 2007:391). This under-preparedness has been attributed to the ‘articulation gap’ between secondary and higher education, which in turn contributes to low retention and graduation rates (CHE, 2013:17). Situated within an overarching commitment to access and success, the Extended Studies Programme attempts to systematically address the ‘articulation gap’. This study evaluated the extent to which the Rhodes University Humanities Extended Studies Programme is achieving its objectives from a transformation perspective, specifically the broadening of successful participation in higher education. The majority of previous works on the evaluation of foundation programmes focused on measurable dimensions of student access and success – that is retention and graduation rates. This thesis considered both the measurable outcomes of the programme as well as the actual teaching and learning process. Given the shifts that have taken place in foundation provisioning, the evaluation of the current model of foundation provisioning necessitated their location in history. Therefore, the evaluation of the Rhodes University Humanities Extended Studies Programme was undertaken in view of the shifts, achievements, challenges and critics of its predecessor programmes. Specifically, the following dimensions were considered in the evaluation of the programme: i) assumptions underpinning the design and purpose of the programme, ii) teaching and learning practices in the programme, iii) student and staff perceptions of the programme, iv) students’ experiences of the programme, v) the validity of the programme in the broader institution, and vi) the measurable outcomes of the programme − that is retention and graduation rates of students enrolled in the programme. The triangulation of qualitative data collection techniques provided access into the different layers of institutional relations, processes and structures, which not only affect teaching and learning in the programme, but also determine students’ engagement with different academic and social aspects of the broader university. The theoretical insights of Pierre Bourdieu and Amartya Sen were integrated in order to provide analytical tools for both understanding the causes of inequalities in higher education, and evaluating institutional processes and structures that perpetuate or transform inequalities. Whilst Bourdieu’s social reproduction thesis exposed the ways in which social structures shape educational processes and outcomes, Sen’s capability approach provided tools for evaluating both institutional arrangements and individual capabilities – that is, the freedom to achieve desired educational outcomes (Sen, 1992:48).

En étudiant le cas du photographe Peter Henry Emerson (1856-1936) à partir du discours tenu par les historiens de la photographie sur son principal traité (Naturalistic Photography) et sur son oeuvre, cette thèse vise non seulement à montrer la pertinence d'une approche sociale de 1'histoire de la photographie, mais à faire état de 1'importance des travaux du sociologue Pierre Bourdieu pour les fondements théoriques d'un tel type d'approche. En effet, des théories comme la division du domaine artistique à partir du dix-neuvième siècle en deux secteurs d'activités (champ de production restreinte et champ de grande production), la surdétermination des oeuvres d'art ainsi que 1'inégalité des compétences artistiques entre les couches sociales remettent en cause les rapports généralement posés entre la photographie à des fins artistiques et la société et entraînent une redéfinition de l'objet de 1'histoire sociale de la photographie. Redéfinition non sans conséquences sur 1'analyse des oeuvres et des écrits des photographes. En procédant dans 1'optique des travaux de Bourdieu, 1'analyse sociale des oeuvres photographiques de P.H. Emerson ne consiste plus à déterminer en quoi le contenu et la forme de ces oeuvres trahissent la vision d'un groupe en particulier. Elle vise, au contraire, à mettre en évidence comment ce n'est pas à 1'intérieur des oeuvres mais à 1'extérieur d'elles que l'impact du social se fait sentir, dans leurs liens avec l'univers de la production et 1'univers de la consommation, c'est-à-dire avec les autres types de production photographique et les conceptions esthétiques en présence parmi le public. En ce qui a trait à 1'analyse des écrits, 1'application des idées du sociologue français est non moins novatrice. Plus qu'une analyse de contenu cherchant à cerner 1'intentionnalité d'Emerson, et de là son idéologie, l'étude du traité Naturalistic Photography tend à établir comment les propos du photographe traduisent sa situation dans le milieu de la photographie. Autrement dit, 1'analyse de Naturalistic Photography est 1'occasion d'établir les principaux paramètres en vertu desquels s'élabore la pratique du photographe. Ainsi, c'est à une toute autre conception de 1'histoire sociale de la photographie que nous convient les travaux de Pierre Bour— dieu. Une toute autre conception qui permet, croyons-nous, à 1'historien d'assumer pleinement le rôle "critique" qui doit être le sien dans la société: mieux comprendre le passé afin d'aider à mieux agir sur le présent. / Montréal Trigonix inc. 2018

Summary in German and English / This thesis aims at the integration of the concept of habitus, as introduced by Pierre Bourdieu, with the concept of worldview as defined by Paul G. Hiebert develop implications for the missiological discipline and the analysis of the human condition. In a first step the concept of worldview is introduced and integrated into the anthropological discipline from within the life and work of Paul G. Hiebert. The confinement of the concept within the cognitive realm is worked out subsequently and the necessity of a complimentary concept is underlined. In a second step the concept of habitus as defined by Pierre Bourdieu is introduced and explained within his biography, research tradition and his sociological framework. In the concluding chapter a synthesis is provided to integrate habitus with worldview building upon the complimentary nature of the concepts. The cognitive bias of worldview is amended through the incorporated nature of habitus. This leads to an augmented research methodology which includes practical analysis of habitus. / Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, das in der Missionswissenschaft gebräuchliche Konzept der Weltanschauung, vorgestellt von Paul G. Hiebert, durch das Konzept des Habitus, vorgestellt von Pierre Bourdieu, zu ergänzen und Schlussfolgerungen für die missiologische Disziplin und die praktische Analyse menschlicher Wirklichkeit zu ziehen. Zunächst wird das Konzept der Weltanschauung anthropologisch verortet und am Leben und Werk Paul G. Hieberts konkret dargestellt. Die kognitive Engführung des Begriffs wird dabei herausgearbeitet, die Notwendigkeit einer Ergänzung zur vollständigeren Beschreibung menschlicher Wirklichkeit herausgestellt. In einem zweiten Schritt wird Pierre Bourdieu seiner Tradition und Biographie nach eingeordnet, sein Habituskonzept eingeführt und innerhalb seiner soziologischen Konzepte erklärt. In der abschließenden Synthese wird auf die vorher ausgearbeitete Komplementarität der Konzepte aufgebaut und die kognitive Engführung von Weltanschauung durch das Habituskonzept ergänzt. Die Zusammenschau von Habitus und Weltanschauung ermöglicht eine breitere Darstellung menschlicher Wirklichkeit. Erweiterte Forschungsmethoden und -gebiete, welche den Habitus mit einbeziehen, werden im Abschluss definiert und vorgestellt. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

This dissertation demonstrates how props act as conduits of knowledge and (thus?) power in Sophocles’ “non-Theban” plays. I show how certain props challenge the definitions and values that they accrue as they move between actors onstage. Key props in these four plays behave unlike other props in extant tragedy, opening up the possibility for a sustained inquiry into the ways that property speaks to and for power. Focusing on the urn in Electra, the bow in Philoctetes, Hector’s sword and Ajax’s own shield in Ajax, and the robe in Trachiniae, this project argues for the centrality of these props in these plays’ verbal exchanges. The introduction sets up a framework and methodology that draws on Michel Foucault’s notion of power-knowledge (pouvoir-savoir) and the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu alongside contemporary thinkers like Jack Halberstam, Jane Bennett, and Sara Ahmed. The first chapter, “The Urn is the Wor(l)d in Sophocles’ Electra,” builds on prior scholarship on this much-studied stage object by showing how it accrues “symbolic power” and comes to construct reality and the social world. The possibility of that consensus breaks down, however, in the face of the familiar/l strife at Argos, and it is through this breakdown that the urn gives audience members a way to examine the play’s puzzling lack of resolution. The second chapter, “Stringing a Bow: Learning, use, and power in Sophocles’ Philoctetes,” builds on the previous chapters’ by showing how the bow defines the limits of Neoptolemus’ education on Lemnos and the terms of its own exchange. The bow’s frequent back and forth between characters and its role in Odysseus’s subterfuge belie the fact that it still belongs to Heracles, who alone can authorize its use. This reading draws out the strange relationship between the deceptions of the False Merchant and the divine interventions of Heracles, demonstrating an uncomfortable consonance between the two scenes. The third chapter, entitled “Ajax’s economy of hostility: the necropolitics of kleos,” explores how Ajax paradoxically gives up his shield even as it merges with his identity as a defense for the Achaeans against the Trojans. Ajax himself attempts to manipulate this threat through the handling and “exchange” of the sword of Hector with its native soil, misleading his compatriots — and possibly himself — about his intentions in his so-called “deception speech.” When Hector’s sword pierces Ajax’s body, Trojan and personal hostilities merge until Odysseus manages to rectify the play’s errant exchanges and restore Ajax’s status as a shield for his companions. The fourth and final chapter, “Ceci n’est pas un prop: The robe as gift and garment in Sophocles’ Trachiniae,” shows that the robe’s failure to appear onstage as a prop — the audience might see it as part of Heracles’ costume at the end of the play — enacts the conflict between oikos and wilderness that the characters inhabit, exposing them to the threats of order and disorder as they attempt to integrate Heracles’ pure excess into the oikonomia of Trachis. This process ultimately reveals the futility of attempts to analyze the play in terms of its dichotomies: female-male, oikos-polis, concealed-revealed, etc. The circulation of the robe in its box charts a path for understanding the play in terms that defy dichotomization by locating the play’s exchanges along intersecting modes of valuation. In the conclusion, I widen the perspective of this methodology again, turning to the instrumentalization of bodies in Sophocles’ Theban plays. I raise questions about how meaning, use, value, and power come to be confused via onstage exchanges, and I gesture towards possible future avenues of inquiry that might account for the trouble with bodies that Ajax raises.

Ce mémoire étudie comment Condorcet, Hegel, Durkheim, Parsons, Bourdieu et Passeron conçoivent les fonctions respectives de la famille et de l’école en matière d’éducation. Depuis la Révolution française, les idées modernes sur ce partage ont beaucoup évoluées. C’est à titre de témoins éminents de cette évolution que ces auteurs sont interrogés. Toutes héritières des principes issus du siècle des Lumières, les conceptions étudiées varient selon le rapport à l’ordre social et selon l’intention qui les guide ; le bonheur universel qui fait autorité sur la liberté de l’individu en formation devient de moins en moins abstrait. En tant que finalité, cet idéal se fait supplanter, presque, par la question du bonheur individuel, pourtant soumise aujourd’hui à l’exigence de la réussite scolaire. La responsabilité individuelle s’en trouve accrue, puisque, depuis que les structures sociales inégalitaires ont été sévèrement critiquées, l’ordre social ne doit plus reposer sur des déterminations de classe. / This study examines how Condorcet, Hegel, Durkheim, Parsons, Bourdieu and Passeron perceive the roles of both the family and the school with regard to upbringing. Since the French Revolution, these perceptions have greatly evolved. We refer to these authors since they clearly represent the context of this evolution. Although these perceptions have inherited principles originating from the Enlightenment, they vary according to the relationship with society and the intentions by which they are guided. Universal happiness, which has an impact on the freedom of the growing individual, becomes less and less abstract. In the end, this ideal is almost surpassed by the freedom of personal happiness, which still depends today on success in school, as it is a generally accepted requirement. The responsibility of each individual is amplified, because, ever since unequal social structures have been highly criticized, social order shall no longer be based upon class determination.

This study explores the various processes that constructed and transformed the undergraduate curriculum in a Faculty of Education at a South African university. It attempts to delve beneath the representation of post-apartheid curriculum change as a linear process. The thesis argues that scholars should attempt to unravel how the curriculum performs the task of social transformation at the site of the university by empirically investigating how the relationship between structure and action links with the ideals of post-apartheid higher education policy. Theoretically, this study posits that the deficit in the local literature on the use of the structure/agency relationship as a heuristic device for examining institutional change should be addressed with the relational sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. / Sociology / D.
