VENENOS DE DEUS, REMÉDIOS DO DIABO, DE MIA COUTO: IMAGINAÇÃO E IMAGENS

Joao, Jose Rodrigues de Sao 05 December 2016 (has links)
Submitted by admin tede (tede@pucgoias.edu.br) on 2017-02-23T11:42:33Z No. of bitstreams: 1 JOSÉ RODRIGUES DE SÃO JOÃO.pdf: 957697 bytes, checksum: d5f6ce36eb4d06421430fe24848a1cef (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2017-02-23T11:42:33Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 JOSÉ RODRIGUES DE SÃO JOÃO.pdf: 957697 bytes, checksum: d5f6ce36eb4d06421430fe24848a1cef (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-12-05 / The study consists of analyzing the novel Venenos de Deus, remédios do Diabo, by Mia Couto, a work that has led us to realize that the characters are inscribed in the interlude, revealing their characteristics and their dreams. The pretension is to identify effects of meaning provided by a hybrid narrative that inscribes pluralism of the images inscribed in the intertempor and interlude of the vagrant subject. This presupposes establishing a contrast between the real and the imaginary, in a supposed trip that the subject makes within itself, which allows to verify that the discourse inhabits a kind of diasporic imagination that enlivens and illuminates spaces, moving the life of the characters that carry in If the inspiration of a human with its natural habitat violated. Narrative discourse supports the coming and going, of those who seem to live interdicts that instigate "dreams". The striking feature of discourse is the reversal of what is known about the relationship between signs: poisons and remedies, in an inverted combination of good and demonic, life and death, dream and hopelessness. / O estudo consiste em analisar o romance Venenos de Deus, remédios do Diabo, de Mia Couto, obra que nos levou a perceber que as personagens se inscrevem no entrelugar, desvelando suas características e seus sonhos. A pretensão é a de identificar efeitos de sentido proporcionados por uma narrativa híbrida que inscreve pluralismo das imagens inscritas no entretempo e no entrelugar do sujeito vagante. Isso pressupôs estabelecer contraste entre o real e o imaginário, em uma suposta viagem que o sujeito faz dentro de si, o que permite constatar que o discurso habita uma espécie de imaginação diaspórica que aviva e ilumina espaços, movimentando a vida dos personagens que carregam em si a inspiração de um humano com seu habitat natural violado. O discurso narrativo suporta o ir e vir, daqueles que parecem viver interditos que instigam “sonhos”. A característica marcante do discurso é a inversão do que se conhece da relação entre os signos: venenos e remédios, numa combinação invertida do bem e do demoníaco, da vida e da morte, do sonho e da desesperança.

Making Korean American news : Korean American journalists and their news media

Bai, Sang Y. 13 December 2010 (has links)
One of the main purposes of this dissertation is to examine who Korean American diaspora-oriented journalists are and how they make news, taking into account several forces on the individual, organizational, extramedia, and social system levels that influence the gatekeeping processes and news content. In addition, this dissertation investigates what interests Korean American diaspora-oriented journalists mainly serve. The author surveyed journalists working for major Korean diaspora-oriented media in Los Angeles and conducted in-depth interviews with experienced personnel involved in the Korean diasporic journalism industry. In addition, two major Korean diasporic dailies were content-analyzed. The basic characteristics of the majority of Korean American-oriented journalists in 2008 are depicted as follows: male Korean Americans, 30 to 40 years old, born in Korea, with a bachelor’s degree, in the United States and working as journalists for less than 15 years, politically liberal, Protestant religious backgrounds, with previous journalism experience at another media organization. Korean diaspora-oriented journalists place emphasis on three major news topics: immigration, business/economy, and education. Cultural proximity rather than geographical proximity significantly influence the degree of newsworthiness of a news story. Newsworthiness is highest when an event/issue has both high cultural proximity and geographical proximity. When geographical proximity is low and cultural proximity is high, newsworthiness in Korean American-oriented journalism is moderately high. If the degree of cultural proximity is low, however, it does not matter whether the news story occurred in Los Angeles or other states or countries in determining the degree of newsworthiness. The Korean American journalists value the interracial harmonizer function most, followed by the disseminator, ethnic consolidator, and interpreter functions. The finding suggests that Korean diaspora-oriented journalists keep in mind that their foremost responsibility is to help Korean immigrants settle smoothly in their new host country and to live in harmony with other racial groups. The longer a Korean journalist has lived in the U.S., the more he or she tends to embrace the interracial harmonizer and ethnic consolidator functions. In other words, the longer Korean American journalists stay in the U.S., the more sensitive they become both to racial issues and to their own ethnic identities. / text

Chinese Television as a Medium of National Interpellation

Cui, Yawei 24 February 2010 (has links)
This dissertation considers how the party-state of the People’s Republic of China has been mobilizing various forms of interpellation in an attempt to sustain a continuous imagination of a particular community defined on the terms of a shared “Chinese” national identity. As well, the research considers how these forms of interpellation have been challenged by a range of complex diasporic viewer responses. Taking media productions of the Mainland China television industry as my point of reference, I have studied in detail, multiple productions of the widely popular, complex program, the Spring Festival Gala (SFG) produced by China Central Television. Though not without its contradictions, this show has employed various interpellative strategies, persistently and continuously hailing viewers into the subject position of loyal members of an enduring “Chinese Nationality.” However, interpellation is one thing, subjectification within it is another. To better grapple with the cultural citizenship of transnationalized Chinese, this dissertation also considers observations regarding the receptions of the SFG by diasporic “Chinese subjects” who now live in Canada. While their continuous imagining of the “Chinese Nationality” helps to better understand the complex mechanisms which contribute to the retaining power of interpellation, their moments of “de-imagining” also shed light on the problems and difficulties of such interpellation. These moments are considered as possible openings to the formation of fluid, multiple Chinese subjectivities that lay the groundwork for a “flexible citizenship” (Ong, 1993; 1999) for all “Chinese,” furthering the endeavor to go beyond certain nationalist and/or statist visions of identity, subjectivity, and citizenship.

Políticas públicas de ações afirmativas, educação e Abá (pensamento) negro-brasileiro diaspórico

Adão, Jorge Manoel January 2007 (has links)
A presente tese de doutoramento consiste na abordagem das Políticas Públicas de Ações Afirmativas, entendidas como decorrentes das organizações e das ações históricas do Movimento Negro; da paulatina aliança e inserção desse Movimento na Academia; cujo conhecimento produzido, subsidiou e continua subsidiando as Políticas Públicas voltadas à população negra brasileira. Com a constatação de que este conhecimento, que deu origem e sustenta estas Políticas, consiste em um pensamento colonizado: impregnado da influência norte-americana, formulo um àbá (pensamento) negro-brasileiro diaspórico, que abrange não só os aspectos socioeconômicos da população negra. Especificamente, no presente trabalho, analiso os discursos, as narrativas, o ideário e os sustentáculos das Políticas Públicas de Ações Afirmativas em Educação de negros – sob a perspectiva dos direitos humanos – concretizadas nas leis, projetos e programas do atual governo federal brasileiro (de 2003 a 2006); ou seja, as Políticas de Cotas em Universidades Públicas brasileiras, presentificando as ações que se imbricam nesta temática da Secretaria de Educação Continuada, Alfabetização e Diversidade do Ministério da Educação; da Fundação Cultural Palmares do Ministério da Cultura; do Conselho Nacional de Combate à Discriminação do Ministério da Justiça; e da Secretaria Especial de Políticas de Promoção da Igualdade Racial da Presidência da República. O àbá (pensamento) negro-brasileiro diaspórico, elaborado no âmbito deste trabalho, é constituído, em especial e simultaneamente, a partir: das categorias da oralidade, espaço-tempo e ancestralidade, que refletem tradição e cultura, modus vivendi, religiosidade e festividade da população brasileira a partir de valores africanos, intermediados pela população negra brasileira; dos estudos e pesquisas e da organização e atuação do Movimento Negro sobre essa temática; e da teoria moriniana da complexidade – princípios dialógico, hologramático e recursivo – que se embasa em relações concomitantes de complementaridade, de concorrência e de antagonismo. / The present thesis of PhD degree, consists of the boarding of the Public Politics of Affirmative Actions, as a result of the organizations and the historical actions of the Black Movement; of the gradual alliance and insertion of this Movement in the Academy; which produced knowledge, subsidized and continues subsidizing the directed Public Politics to the Brazilian Black population. With the perception of that this knowledge, that gave origin and supports these Politics, consists of a colonized thought: impregnated of the North American influence, I formulate an àbá (thought) diasporic black-Brazilian, who not only encloses the socials and economics aspects of the black population. Specifically, in the present work, I analyze the speeches, the narratives, the ideas and the sustentation of the Public Politics of Affirmative Actions in Education of blacks - under the perspective of the human rights - materialize in the laws, projects and programs of the current Brazilian Federal Government (from 2003 to 2006); that is, the Politics of Quotas in Brazilian Public Universities, with the actions that if attend of this thematic one of the Secretariat of Continued Education, Alphabetization and Diversity of the Ministry of Education; of the Cultural Foundation Palmares of the Ministry of Culture; of the National Advice of Combat to the Discrimination of the Ministry of Justice; and The Special Secretary of Politics of Promotion of the Racial Equality of the Presidency of the Republic. Àbá (thought) diasporic black-Brazilian, elaborated in the scope of this work, is constituted, in special and simultaneously, to leave: of the categories of the orality, space-time and ancestry, that reflect tradition and culture, way of life, religiosity and festivity of the Brazilian population from African values, intermediated for the Brazilian black population; on the studies and research and the organization and performance of the Black Movement on this thematic one; e of the moriniana theory of the complexity - principles dialogic, hologramatic and recursive - that is based in concomitant relations of complementally, competition and antagonism.

Collective weaving of territories: Exploring diasporic identities with Latin American migrants

Castillo Muñoz, Yénika January 2020 (has links)
Den här interaktionsdesign uppsatsen bidrar till en omgående diskussion på Avkoloniserande design. Särskild genom att utforska identiteter i diaspora med latinamerikanska migranter. Mellan anpassning och total assimilation flera frågor dyker upp, om värderingar, egenskaper och vanor, och de materiella uttryck av dessa aspekter såsom de utmaningarna för interaktionsdesign och deras metoder. Resultatet är en kollektiv territorium uttryckt som en interaktiv karta som kontinuerligt vävas genom en smartphone app. Kartan fylls med minnen, låtar, matrecept och drömmar som förverkliga de identiteterna i diaspora (diasporic situatedness). Kartan är en kritisk fabulering om vad kartorna är och kan bli. Kartan vädjar till uppfattningen av den Pluriversum för att avkolonisera begreppen som hybriditet, identitet och territorium. Forskningen avgår från Chicano- och transnationella feminism, postkoloniala och avkoloniala teorier, epistemologier från Södern och kritisk design. I processens hjärta ligger den kollektiva spekulation, genom codesign metoder för att uppmuntra delade funderingar och diskussioner, med visuella och verbala resurser. En ny metod undersöker de berättande egenskaper av linjer för att väva och vandra den interaktiva kartan. / This interaction design thesis contributes to the discussion in Decolonial design, and in particular it explores diasporic identities of Latin American migrants. Between adaptation and assimilation, several questions arise: About traces, values, practices and the materialities of these aspects, as well as the challenges for Interaction design and its methods to address them.The design outcome is the concept of a collective identity territory expressed in an interactive map, that is continuously woven digitally through an app interface. The map is populated with memories, songs, recipes and dreams that materialise the diasporic situatedness. I consider it a critical fabulation on what maps can be. The contribution of the outcome appeals to the notion of the Pluriverse to decolonise the notions of hybridity, identity and territory.The research departs from the notions of Chicano and transnational feminism, postcolonial and decolonial theories, epistemologies of the South and critical design. In the center of the design process is the collective speculation, using codesign methods to encourage shared reflections through visual and verbal resources. A new method explores the narrative qualities of lines to weave and wander the interactive map.

[en] DESTERRO: LAND, LOGISTICS AND POLITICS OF INTERNATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE / [pt] DESTERRO: TERRA, LOGÍSTICA E POLÍTICAS DE INFRAESTRUTURA INTERNACIONAL

THIAGO ALVES BRAZ 13 December 2022 (has links)
[pt] A presente pesquisa doutoral se propõe a desenvolver um quadro interpretativo para grandes projetos de infraestrutura logística internacional que não se subscreva aos roteiros analíticos conhecidos e extensamente explorados, sob rubrica do desenvolvimento, da modernização e tampouco se circunscreva aos limites conceituais e analíticos de abordagens derivadas de paradigmas da inclusãoexclusão ou, ainda, da expulsão que, a seu turno, seguem informando métodos e óticas dos estudos sociológicos e políticos voltados às políticas internacionais de infraestrutura portuária industrial. Em obras recentes voltadas ao estudo crítico dos processos do fenômeno designado como globalização a alguns fóruns de economia política internacional no Brasil, há uma ampla percepção de inadequação dos repertórios e léxicos críticos há muito estabelecidos para responder ao quadro político. Nesse cenário, esta tese se articula sobre as linhas do que designamos como uma (leitura) política subterrânea, que, efetivamente visa à elaboração da equação política que subjaz a processos históricos de desumanização, deslocamento e desapropriação dos mesmos grupos racializados, de modo a minar suas infraestruturas culturais, sociais, política. Em vias subterrâneas, o trabalho objetiva refazer os termos segundo os quais fazemos sentidos de dinâmicas que se concretizam, no terreno, como guerras comerciais e territoriais, conforme empreendidas no quadro desses projetos. Conceitos centrais a esses dinâmicas, como terra, infraestrutura e logística são, assim, retrabalhados à luz da produção dos estudos africano-diaspóricos, especialmente os de linhagem fanoniana, conforme mapeamento conceitual realizado na tese. A perspectiva de base que anima todo o esforço analítico é a de que a tão almejada renovação do repertório analítico, repetidamente expressa em estudos internacionais e fóruns locais recentes, seja em política internacional, sociologia política, seja em geografia humana e em economia política internacional, especialmente aqueles que focalizem os projetos de infraestrutura logística desta monta, depende de um engajamento efetivo com as redes dos estudos africano-diaspóricos, bem como com leituras (pós- )coloniais históricas, constituídas em modo dialógico no eixo transatlântico. Nesse espírito, a pesquisa desenvolve uma analítica da qual se propõe o conceito de desterro. É, precisamente, a partir desse conceito que o trabalho se volta ao exame da literatura crítica sobre logística e projetos de infraestrutura, com o objetivo de desvelar as relações entre as dinâmicas passadas e presentes do desterro em relação com as práticas logísticas contemporâneas. Em seguida, o estudo dirige esse enfoque e léxico crítico, historicamente informado, ao caso do Complexo Logístico Industrial de Porto do Açu, com especial atenção para constituição do Distrito Industrial do Porto do Açu, momento da pesquisa em que o conceito é posto em operação. O trabalho pretende contribuir para os estudos em política internacional por meio da aposta no potencial dos estudos africano-diaspórica em interpretar e abrir caminhos de disputa política sobre essas complexas dinâmicas políticoeconômicas transnacionais contemporâneas. / [en] This doctoral research aims to develop an interpretive framework with which to examine large international logistics infrastructure projects in ways that do not reiterate the already-known and extensively explored analytical scripts advanced under the banner of development, modernization, a framework which does not remain circumscribed to the conceptual and analytical limits of approaches structured by the paradigm of inclusion-exclusion or inclusion-expulsion. This paradigm continues to inform methods and approaches in political sociology and international politics applied to the investigation of the international politics of industrial port infrastructure. Nevertheless, from recent critical work delving into processes of so-called globalization to international political economy forums in Brazil, there is a perceived sense of inadequacy of long-established critical repertoires and lexicons in responding to the political scenario. In this context, the dissertation is articulated along the lines of what we designate as politics of the underground, which effectively seeks to elaborate the political equation that allows for the continued processes of dehumanization, displacement and dispossession of the same racialized groups, and for their permanently undermined cultural, social, political infrastructure. Moving underneath the soil, the research aims to remake the terms according to which we make sense of dynamics that materialize as commercial and territorial wars within the context of these industrial port infrastructure projects. Concepts central to these dynamics, such as land, infrastructure and logistics, are thus rearticulated in the light of the Africandiasporic studies, especially those sharing a common Fanonian lineage, according to the conceptual and genealogical mapping carried out in the research. The fundamental perspective that animates the entire analytical endeavor is that the long-awaited renewal of the analytical repertoire, as expressed in various studies in international politics, political sociology, as well as in human geography and in international political economy, which critically assess these sorts of infrastructure projects, hinges on, as its condition of possibility, an effective engagement with the networks of African-diasporic studies, as well as with (post)colonial historical approaches, forged in dialogical fashion along the trans-Atlantic axis. In this spirit, the research puts forth an analytics from which the concept of desterro emerges. It is precisely by mobilizing the concept of desterro that the work undertakes a critical examination of the most recent critical literature on logistics and infrastructure projects, while seeking to unveil the relationships between dynamics of desterro, past and present, in connection with contemporary logistic practices. The study then directs its critical, historically-informed lenses to the case of the Port of Açu Industrial Logistic Complex, particularly focusing on the constitution of the Port of Açu Industrial District, a moment in which the concept is put into operation. This dissertation intends to contribute to the studies in international politics by shedding light on the critical potential of African-diaspora studies namely in interpreting and opening paths for political disputes over complex transnational political-economic dynamics.
