Esta Dissertação organiza-se a partir de dois eixos temáticos: envelhecimento e migração. Foi realizada tendo por base a teoria de cunho social que a fundamenta e a elaboração das entrevistas com alunos da aula de dança de salão do Centro Cultural Cartola, localizado no Complexo da Mangueira, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. O objetivo primordial é verificar como grupo beneficia-se dos recursos oferecidos pela instituição através das oficinas de dança de salão no processo de construção do envelhecimento. A primeira observação foi constatar que havia, ao lado da motivação do prazer proporcionado pela dança, um estímulo quanto à preservação da saúde. Paralelamente, na hora da elaboração do perfil dos frequentadores, foi observado que expressivo percentual do grupo era de migrantes, fator que veio a integrar os dados. O trabalho divide-se em quatro capítulos. No primeiro, apresentam-se o Centro Cultural Cartola, o contexto em que a pesquisa é realizada, as oficinas e atividades oferecidas, bem como suas principais personagens: Cartola e D. Zica. No segundo, o envelhecimento é abordado a partir da obra da antropóloga Guita Grin Debert, principal referência teórica para discussão dessa temática. Em seguida, o capítulo três discorre sobre a decisão de o indivíduo optar pela migração, sob o ponto de vista daquele que a vivenciou, considerando suas motivações e dificuldades. Para tal, recorreu-se aos textos acadêmicos de Ademir Pacceli Ferreira, entre outros autores. Como metodologia, privilegiou-se a pesquisa participativa de Thiollant, cujo principal recurso foi a pesquisa de campo, com coleta de dados e análise das entrevistas realizadas. No quarto e último capítulo, as entrevistas são apresentadas, destacando-se os principais aspectos relativos aos temas da pesquisa e realizando uma articulação entre eles. / This present dissertation is organized towards two thematic pillars: ageing and migration. It was developed on the basis of a social theory theme which it sustains and on the basis of interviews within the ballroom dancing students at the Cartola Cultural Center, which is located at Mangueira Slum Complex, in Rio de Janeiro city. The main goal is to investigate how the mentioned group benefits from the sources offered by the cultural Institution towards the ballroom dancing activities in the process of building ageing. The first point was to observe and verify that there was besides the motivation and pleasure on dancing, a incentive towards health care and preservation. Parallel to this, during the users profile sheet elaboration, it was also possible to observe and verify that and expressive percentage of these group was migrants, and so this fact started integrating the whole data. The work is divided into four chapters. On the first one Cartola Cultural Center is presented, plus the context in which the research is going to be carried, the activities offered at the Center, as well its main characters: Cartola e D. Zica. On the second one, ageing is taking from the perspective of the work of the anthropologist Guita Grin Debert, the main theorical reference on the discussion of this thematic. Next, on the third chapter, it speaks about the subjects decisions on choosing the migration, towards their own point of view, considering their motivation and difficulties. For that it was chosen academics texts from Ademir Pacceli, among also some other authors. As methodology, it was privileged the participative research according to Thiollant, which main source was the field research, within collection of data and analyses of the interviews done. On the fourth and last chapter the interviews are presented, putting in evidence the main related aspects to the research themes and building an articulation among them all.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / The library valueâs is the reason of its existence. However, its educational potential is proportional to the use that the subjects do it; the more use, the greater the possibility of growth for the information. It see a direct correlation between awareness of the value of the place, ownership of the means promoted by the State that enable communication from equity and the use of space by the subjects in schools. Based on this, we seek to confront two different school realities, in order to go a reverse way to the delimited in studies about inequalities educational which is on commonly followed. We selected two schools to be places where we interacted with the subjects that are used or not librarian heritage concerned: E.E.F. Clovis Bevilacqua, located in the central area of Fortaleza, without serious non-existent vulnerability of the urban nei ghborhood access problems; and EEFM Senator Osires Bridges , located in Canindezinho neighborhood, considered highly vulnerable. We must also teaching a multimedia representation cultural center (the CCBNB)to assess the formative insight into the use of public equipment. Methodologically, the work follows phenomenological precepts, based on the idea that the answers to the use or not of this heritage of libraries should focus on the lived experience of the subjects who present there, and therefore know the exact strategies that provide improvements factual in students' relationship with knowledge. As a result, the study aims to present updated strategies appreciation of space libraries, with facilities in educational and cultural indicators of its use as a way to balance communication. / O valor de uma biblioteca à a razÃo de sua existÃncia. Entretanto, seu potencial educativo à proporcional ao uso que os sujeitos fazem dela; quanto mais uso, maior a possibilidade de crescimento pela informaÃÃo. VÃ-se uma correlaÃÃo direta entre tomada de consciÃncia a respeito do valor do lugar, a apropriaÃÃo dos meios promovidos pelo Estado que possibilitam a comunicaÃÃo do patrimÃnio e a utilizaÃÃo dos espaÃos pelos sujeitos nas escolas. Fundamentados nisso, buscamos confrontar duas realidades escolares diferenciadas, a fim de percorrer um caminho inverso ao delimitado nos estudos sobre as desigualdades educacionais comumente seguidos. Selecionamos duas escolas para serem os locais onde interagiremos com os sujeitos que se utilizam ou nÃo do patrimÃnio bibliotecÃrio em questÃo: E.E.F. Clovis Bevilacqua, localizada em zona central de Fortaleza, bairro de vulnerabilidade inexistente sem graves os problemas de acesso urbano; e a EEFM Senador Osires Pontes, localizada no bairro Canindezinho, considerado de alta vulnerabilidade. Acrescentamos ainda a representaÃÃo docente um centro cultural multimÃdia (o CCBNB) a fim de avaliar a percepÃÃo formativa do uso desse equipamento pÃblico. Metodologicamente, o trabalho segue preceitos fenomenolÃgicos, baseado na ideia de que as respostas à utilizaÃÃo ou nÃo desse patrimÃnio das bibliotecas deve centrar-se na vivÃncia e experiÃncia dos sujeitos que ali presentes, e que por isso, sabem exatamente as estratÃgias capazes de propiciar melhoras factuais no relacionamento dos alunos com o conhecimento. Como resultado, o trabalho busca apresentar estratÃgias atualizadas da valorizaÃÃo do espaÃo das bibliotecas, com bases nos indicadores educativos e culturais de seu uso como forma de comunicaÃÃo patrimonial

The overarching goal of this investigation is to determine how an existing building of spatial and programmatic rigidity can serve as a framework for designing a more integrated center for personal and community development. This project is an exploration of what a building can evolve into after its "shelf-life" has expired, with the aid of a reconsidered architectural vision. Formulated within criteria individual to its context, it is intended to be an investigation of possibility and the testing of a nascent potential, not an attempt to serve as a prescriptive, panacea solution. It is an examination of a creative vision in the development of a more responsive and expressive community space. Through this exploration, the architectural experience as derived from a subject-object perspective will be investigated and considered, as well as the art of placemaking in crafting a design strategy that is responsive to its immediate context, reconsidering the ability of architecture to generate meaning and experience outside of its prototypically considered building-envelope boundaries. By focusing on the potential to for personal and community-based growth and development, three avenues of program will be explored: Education, Experience, and Expression. Serving as an intersection point between cultural production and cultural consumption, the transmission of this cultural capital has the ability to gestate a deeper sense of identity amongst the embedded community.

The twentieth-century brought a rapidly increasing global mobility and is causing a de-territorial effect on the world. The borders of countries are becoming more fluid. The bounds of cultures that were based on nationality, have become blurred, contested, open-ended, and unstable. These frequently modified cultural boundaries have created multiple cultural diasporic groups. A diaspora is a large group of people with a similar heritage or homeland who have since moved out to places all over the world. Globalism, with its elusive cultural identity, leads to a seemingly unified world culture and the once static sense of nation-state-based cultural identity is now mobile. This mobility and replacement of our locations destabilize our traditional sense of identity that traditionally has been deeply rooted in a sense of nation-state. As a reaction and resistance to the global forces, “localism,” or “nativism,” have simultaneously increased. Thus, the cultural diaspora can be understood as a journey through multiple magnitudes of cultural boundaries. This thesis reviews cultural identity with an emphasis on cultures that are undergoing a diasporic condition. I specifically emphasize notions of the nationality of a selected diasporic group of Bangladeshi people living in New York City over the past few decades. The vehicle of the research is the study of their current cultural identification, considering the varied struggles of this group in their new host land. After assembling and acquiring a holistic understanding of the current condition (economic, social, and political) of this group, a set of appropriate programs will be proposed to be incorporated into the design for a cultural center. The primary goals of this project are to encourage the socio-cultural, economic, and educational enhancement of Bangladeshi people living in New York City. The project will also raise a sense of unity among the diasporic group and enable a better understanding of cultural interchange.

Por mucho tiempo, el Perú ha tenido una relación no sincera con su diversidad cultural. Sin embargo, en los últimos años distintas acciones están generando cambios significativos, que permiten un reconocimiento propio de las diferentes culturas que alberga nuestro territorio. Las comunidades indígenas, por muchos años olvidadas, forman parte importante de esta diversidad, de las cuales podemos rescatar su conocimiento sobre el uso y conservación de los recursos naturales, así como del territorio. El Centro Cultural Del Arte Tradicional y Popular Amazónico, busca reconocer a través de la arquitectura, la identidad de esta cultura Amazónica, en específico la de la cultura Shipibo Conibo, la cual se ubica principalmente en la región de Ucayali. El eje principal para el diseño de este proyecto, es el respeto por su cultura ancestral, crear un hito en la ciudad que responda al lugar, a sus materiales, a su entorno principalmente pero que use los conocimientos sobre las tecnologías modernas. Asimismo, el factor climatológico es uno de los componentes más importantes para el desarrollo de esta propuesta y pone en evidencia el lazo que debe de existir entre la cultura y la arquitectura moderna. / For a long time, Perú has had a non-sincere relationship with its cultural diversity. However, in recent years different actions are generating significant changes, which allow recognition of the different cultures that our territory is home to. Indigenous people, almost completely forgotten for years, are now an important part of this diversity. We can rescue their knowledge about the use and conservation of natural resources. The Cultural Center of Amazonian Traditional and Popular Art, seeks to recognize through architecture, the identity of this Amazonian culture and specifically of Shipibo Conibo culture, which is located mainly in the Ucayali region. The main axis of this project is the respect for its ancestral culture. The architecture tries to create a milestone in the city that responds to the place, its materials and its environment. Likewise, the climatological factor is one of the most important components for the development of this proyect. / Tesis
