Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 1986. / INDLEIDING: Ten spyte van die belangrike bydrae wat die meubelmakers oor meer as drie eeue gelewer het t.o.v. die vervaardiging van een van die belangrikste gebruiksartikels in die Kaapse huishoudings, is daar nag min aandag aan die onderwerp bestee. Slegs enkele navorsers soos H. Aucamp (1971), M. Baraitser en A. Obholzer (1971), J.L.M. Franken (1940) en J. Hoge (1946) verwys na enkele meubelmakers, timmermans, draaiers, voeërs en beeldsnyers wat meubels gemaak het. Daar is egter nog geensins 'n geheelbeeld saamgestel oor die herkoms van die Kaapse meubels en die vakmanne wat dit plaaslik vervaardig het nie. Die doel van hierdie studie is om vas te stel wie die mense was wat die Kaapse meubels sedert die volksplanting plaaslik vervaardig het. Die studie het ook ten doel om, waar moontlik, te onderskei tussen die verskillende soorte vakmanne wat meubels gemaak het, nl. kabinetmakers, stoelmakers, draaiers, voeërs, beeldsnyers en timmermans.

For this we propose the implementation of three Scenarios For Research (Skovsmose, 2008) by which carpenters feel invited to ask questions and to seek explanations within their sociocultural context. The methodological approaches used follow a qualitative research approach, with the use of techniques and procedures coming from ethnography, such as: observation, semi-structured interviews, field diary, photos and footage. Accordingly, we seek the critical-reflective deepening of different ways to understand and deal with the world mathematically, ie, knowing and doing mathematics from different social groups and that manifest themselves in non-academic and non-academic environments. This analysis emerge three categories: the first emphasizes the "do together" and "learning with others" a level of understanding beyond the practical and efficient collective work; the second category reflects the appreciation of knowledge through the oppression of the dominant power, and the third category in the dialogical process never finished, far from being tedious. New perspectives emerge from reflections that flow to a level of understanding of another reality under a critical eye, permeated of impartiality, which is intended to write another story people marked by exclusion and marginalization. / O presente estudo visa compreender os saberes e fazeres de um grupo de carpinteiros em Goiânia numa perspectiva etnomatemática de reconhecimento, valorização e potencialização de suas práticas profissionais no canteiro de obras. Para tanto propomos a realização de três Cenários Para Investigação (SKOVSMOSE, 2008) pelos quais os carpinteiros se sintam convidados a formular questões e a procurar explicações dentro do seu contexto sociocultural. Os caminhos metodológicos utilizados seguem uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, sendo o uso de técnicas e procedimentos oriundos da etnografia, tais como: observações, entrevistas semiestruturadas, diário de campo, fotos e filmagens. Nesse sentido, buscamos o aprofundamento crítico-reflexivo das diferentes formas de entender e lidar matematicamente com o mundo, ou seja, o saber e o fazer matemático de grupos sociais distintos e que se manifestam em ambientes não escolares e não acadêmicos. Desta análise emergem três categorias: a primeira ressalta o “fazer juntos” e o “aprender com o outro” num patamar de compreensão para além do prático e eficiente trabalho coletivo; a segunda categoria reflete a valorização dos saberes em meio à opressão do poder dominante, sendo a dialogicidade a terceira categoria num processo nunca acabado, longe de ser fastidioso. Novas perspectivas emergem das reflexões que fluem para um patamar de compreensão da outra realidade sob um olhar crítico, permeado de imparcialidade, o qual pode se destinar a escrever uma outra história às pessoas marcadas pela exclusão e a marginalização.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study is divided into two major parts: a theoretical research of two knowledge transferring methods headed by a discussion on knowledge and learning, and a case study analysing the presence of mentoring within traditional apprenticeships at carpenter workshops in Germany. The two methods on knowledge transfer are mentoring and the cognitive apprenticeship model, whereas each of the models is discussed in terms of the individual characteristics present and techniques used within the relationship of the parties present. In the past, both methods have been established in modern business organisations to enhance knowledge creation, transfer and archiving though many approaches have failed due to mistakes in the basic conceptual interpretation or lack of support. The question, which underlined this research project, focused on whether positive aspects of the methods or the methods themselves have already been incorporated in the organisational culture of small to medium sized enterprises. Thus, the research explored whether knowledge transferral methods, and particularly mentoring, is apparent within the organisational structure of small to medium sized enterprises and in Germany and whether the size of the company has an influence on the presence of mentoring aspects in the businesses. With particular focus on mentoring, the research has shown that no aspects relating to mentoring have been incorporated. Even though some answers pointed to a correlation in between business size and the incorporation of aspects, no real correlation could be proven. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie is in twee hoofonderafdelings verdeel: 'n teoretiese ondersoek van twee metodes van kennisoordrag ingelei deur 'n bespreking van kennis en leer; en 'n gevalletudie wat 'n ontleding doen van die teenwoordigheid van mentorskap binne tradisionee vakleerlingskappe by skrynwerkerswerkswinkels in Duitsland. Die twee metodes van kennisoordrag is mentorskap en die kognitiewe vakleerlingskapsmodel en elk van die modelle word bespreek na aanleiding van die individuele kenmerke wat teenwoordig is en tegnieke wat gebruik word binne die verhouding van die partye wat teenwoordig is. In die verlede is beide metodes in moderne sakeorganisasies daargestel om die skep, oordrag en bewaring van kennis te verbeter, hoewel baie benaderings misluk het weens foute in die basiese konseptuele interpretasie of gebrek aan ondersteuning. Die vraag onderliggend aan beide navorsingsprojek fokus op positiewe aspekte van die metodes of die metodes self reeds geinkorporeer is in die organisasiekultuur van klein tot medium grootte ondernemings. Die navorsing het dus ondersoek of metodes van kennisoordrag, en veral mentorskap, duidelik is binne die organisasiestruktuur van klein tot medium groote ondernemings in Duitsland en of die grootte van die maatskappy 'n invloed het op die teenwoordigheid van mentorskapsaspekte in die besigheid. Met spesifieke fokus op mentorskap het die navorsing getoon dat geen aspekte van mentorskap geinkorporeer is nie. Selfs waar sommige antwoorde 'n korrelasie aangetoon het tussen die grootte van die besigheid en die inkorporering van aspekte, kon geen werklike korrolasie bewys word nie.

This thesis explores the use of language in J.D. Salinger’s “For Esmé—With Love and Squalor,” “A Perfect Day for Bananafish,” and Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters. It establishes a narrative pattern in which sensitive individuals such as Seymour Glass and Sergeant X are isolated by the insensitivity of the superficial modern world, attempt to communicate their concerns to others through an exchange of language in material forms, and ultimately find relief in silence. By analyzing various examples of linguistic artifacts and the impact they have on both sender and receiver, this thesis identifies criteria for successful communication as well as reasons for the failure of language which may be useful for the study of these and other works by Salinger. This thesis also considers the intersection of binaries such as silence and noise, and the ways Salinger presents them both thematically and formally.

La ville de Metz détient une collection exceptionnelle de plafonds peints médiévaux réalisés entre le XIIIe siècle et le XVe siècle. Malgré les ensembles détruits, lacunaires, disparus ou encore méconnus, vingt-sept plafonds ont fait l’objet de cette recherche. Leur étude a permis de suivre l’évolution artistique et d’appréhender les styles de décors intérieurs civils messins, sans interruption pendant deux siècles. Ces plafonds, méconnus, sont une source d’informations inestimable pour la connaissance du patrimoine historique et artistique de la ville à la fin du Moyen Âge. En effet, ils témoignent d’un savoir-faire de la part des charpentiers, des peintres et des ateliers actifs à Metz, mais aussi de la richesse des demeures patriciennes et de l’art de vivre des membres de l’élite urbaine. La recherche autour de ces décors permet de s’immerger au cœur d’une production artistique européenne des derniers siècles du Moyen Âge avec l’usage de thèmes iconographiques d’une grande diversité (ornementation végétale, bestiaires, figures saintes, tournois de joute, armoiries). Cette étude suit une démarche pluridisciplinaire destinée à s’approcher des réalités scientifiques, matérielles, historiques, héraldiques, iconographiques et stylistiques des plafonds peints, afin de déceler, entre autres, quels pouvaient être la fonction de ces décors et les messages que les commanditaires, d’un statut social élevé, souhaitaient transmettre à leurs convives. Ces décors luxueux sont indéniablement en lien avec leur aisance financière, leur connaissance de la littérature médiévale, du milieu artistique local et des événements diplomatiques majeurs auxquels ils ont été confrontés. / The city of Metz in France holds an exceptional collection of medieval painted ceilings made between the 13th and 15th centuries. Despite being destroyed, incomplete, missing or still unknown, twenty-seven ceilings were the subject of this research. Their study allowed to follow the artistic evolution and to apprehend the styles of Messinian civil interior decorations, without interruption during two centuries. These unknown ceilings are a priceless source of information for the knowledge of the historical and artistic heritage of the city at the end of the Middle Ages. Indeed, they are the testimony of a know-how of the carpenters, the painters and the active workshops in Metz, but also of the wealth of the patrician houses and the art of living of the members of the urban elite. Research around these decorations allows us to immerse in the heart of a European artistic production of the last centuries of the Middle Ages with the use of iconographic themes of great diversity (plant ornamentation, bestiaries, holy figures, tournaments of jousting, Arms). This study follows a multidisciplinary approach intended to display the scientific, material, historical, heraldic, iconographic and stylistic realities of the painted ceilings, in order to detect, among others, what could be the purpose of these sets and the messages that the landlords, of a high social status, wished to convey to their guests. These luxurious ornamentations are undeniably linked to their financial ease, their knowledge of medieval literature, the local artistic environment and the major diplomatic events they were faced with

No. of bitstreams: 1 2343.pdf: 2036118 bytes, checksum: 79dc543a6c1eefd5bd58d9161a4db72e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-02-27 / Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos / The Present research aimed to investigate the developing process of a self sustained community carpenter s workshop called Madeirarte, from Pirituba II settlement, located in Itapeva / SP. Madeirarte began from a community housing project done in the settlement, where the carpenter s workshop was built in order to make the housing parts and materials. This workshop was led by a group of four agriculturist women aged over forty-five years-old. These women began the community venture assuming that it could provide jobs and profits. In this context, the general concepts in this paper correlated to gender relations on the perspective of a dialogic feminism and the mutual economy in the self sustainable perspective. The first is due to the specificity of the job of women who work in carpentry, which is historically related to a concept of men s job, in the midst of a society where we observe the uneven relation between men and women and also among women themselves. The second is attributed to the context of a undertaking based on the mutual economy. Such economy corresponds to a quest of alternative ways to develop a productive processes that embraces solidariety, being able to connect the business activity to the real possibility of improving their quality of life, hence opposing the predominant capitalist ideology. Thus, this investigation aimed to reflect and dialog about the settlement process of Madeirarte by focusing on the gender relations and identifying the components of transformation and the components that come as obstacles, in order to find ways to improve the everyday life in their carpenter s workshop routine. For that, this paper established the concept of Dialogical Learning as a theoretical-ethodological basis, according to the guidelines of Habermas (1987), about the communicative action and, in the concept of dialogicity, developed by Paulo Freire (1994, 2005), by conceiving persons as essential subjects of a dialog, besides that they are engaged in the social context hence they are able to change it. The methodology used was the critical communicative approach, based on changing perspectives evidenced by the intersubjectivity and reflection as well as the importance of dialog in the knowledge building, which implies explicitness in the interpretation of the research subjects themselves. Thus, from the spaces of dialog established during the research, followed by the data collection structured by the analysis of the field diaries, interviews, participatory observation and communicative groups, the achieved results allowed us to interpret the reality experienced by the women carpenters in their everyday activities, connecting the work possibilities to the personal changes achieved around the settlement as well. The results also let identify the changing elements present at Madeirarte, by disclosing many acquired abilities and educational process built by women on the self sustained job. The research also identified the elements that appears as obstacles in this activity and pointing the possibilities to overcome. Finally, we seek to contribute with other settlement process and contribute through the women s best practices involved in community undertakings, such women who became roler models in their own lives, showing that it is necessary to expose the exclusion process that we live in but also to make known the possibilities of historical changes. / A presente pesquisa buscou investigar o processo de incubação da marcenaria coletiva autogestionária, a Madeirate, do assentamento Pirituba II, localizado no município de Itapeva/SP. A Madeirarte iniciou-se a partir de um projeto de habitação social realizado no assentamento, em que foi implantada uma marcenaria para a construção dos componentes em madeira das habitações. A marcenaria foi assumida por um grupo de quatro mulheres, agricultoras, com mais de 45 anos, as quais iniciaram um empreendimento coletivo, integrando o projeto à possibilidade de trabalho e renda. Seguindo este contexto, os conceitos centrais desta pesquisa corresponderam às relações de gênero, na perspectiva do feminismo dialógico, e à economia solidária, na perspectiva da autogestão. O primeiro se deve à specificidade do trabalho de mulheres que desenvolvem a atividade de marcenaria, historicamente realizada por homens, em meio a uma sociedade na qual observamos desigualdades entre homens e mulheres e também entre mulheres. O segundo, deve-se ao contexto de um empreendimento pautado nas bases da economia solidária. Esta economia corresponde a uma busca de formas alternativas para a construção de um processo produtivo que contemple a solidariedade, capaz de relacionar o trabalho à possibilidade de melhores condições de vida, em meio à ideologia capitalista dominante. Dessa forma, esta investigação teve por objetivo refletir e dialogar sobre o processo de incubação da Madeirarte, com ênfase nas relações de gênero, identificando os elementos transformadores e os que se apresentam como obstáculos, a fim de buscar formas de melhorias na prática cotidiana do trabalho das marceneiras. Para tal, apoiou-se, enquanto base teórico-metodológica, no conceito da aprendizagem dialógica, o qual está pautado fundamentalmente nas elaborações de Habermas (1987), sobre a ação comunicativa e, no conceito de dialogicidade desenvolvido por Paulo Freire (1994, 2005), ao conceberem as pessoas como sujeitos constitutivos do diálogo, além de atuantes no contexto social e por isso capazes de transformá-lo. A metodologia utilizada foi a comunicativa crítica, pautada nas perspectivas transformadoras evidenciadas pela intersubjetividade e reflexão, bem como na importância do diálogo na elaboração do conhecimento, o que implica clareza na interpretação dos próprios sujeitos da pesquisa. Assim, a partir dos espaços de diálogo estabelecidos durante a pesquisa, seguindo a coleta de dados estruturada pela análise dos diários de campo, entrevistas, observação participante e grupos comunicativos, os resultados alcançados permitiram interpretar a realidade vivenciada pelas mulheres marceneiras em suas práticas cotidianas, relacionando as possibilidades do trabalho às transformações pessoais conquistadas, bem como no entorno do assentamento. Os resultados permitiram identificar os elementos transformadores presentes na Madeirarte, revelando inúmeras aprendizagens adquiridas e processos educativos construídos por mulheres no trabalho autogestionário. A pesquisa também identificou os elementos que se colocam como obstáculos nesta prática, indicando possibilidades para a sua superação. Com isso, buscamos contribuir com outros processos de incubação, bem como contribuir com práticas de mulheres envolvidas em empreendimentos solidários, mulheres que se tornaram protagonistas de suas vidas, mostrando que é preciso denunciar os processos de exclusão em que vivemos, mas também anunciar possibilidades de transformações históricas.
