Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Psicologia, Departamento de Psicologia Clínica, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Psicologia Clínica e Cultura, 2015. / O presente estudo foi elaborado a partir de questionamentos teórico-clínicos advindos da clínica com uma paciente adulta obesa. É objetivo desta dissertação estabelecer possíveis relações entre a constituição psíquica e a obesidade na vida adulta. Utilizouse o método psicanalítico e a estratégia metodológica de construção de caso clínico a fim de entender as reflexões propostas. O caso clínico construído diz respeito ao atendimento a uma paciente adulta obesa. Primeiramente, é desenvolvida uma contextualização da história da obesidade desde a Idade Antiga até a contemporaneidade a fim de compreender os diferentes olhares ao longo da história sobre o indivíduo obeso. São feitas considerações a respeito do olhar psicanalítico sobre a obesidade e a postura clínica frente ao sujeito obeso. Em seguida, a teoria de Winnicott foi utilizada para compreender o processo de constituição psíquica do bebê em ressonância com as primeiras trocas estabelecidas com o alimento. Foi possível apreender da teoria winnicottiana que o bebê alimenta-se da experiência de encontro com sua mãe-ambiente auxiliando em seu processo de constituição psíquica. Estas teorizações permitiram a compreensão do caso clínico apresentado. A leitura teóricoclínica do estudo de caso aliada à teoria de Winnicott permitiu interpretar a dinâmica psíquica da paciente como um funcionamento falso self e estabelecer relações com a obesidade na vida adulta da paciente. Concluindo, elaborou-se considerações a respeito dos possíveis encontros entre a obesidade na vida adulta e o processo de constituição psíquica e das relações precoces. / This study was based on the theoretical and clinical questions arising from the clinical experience with an obese adult patient. It is the aim of this thesis to establish a possible relation between the psychic constitution and obesity in adulthood. We used the psychoanalytic method and the methodological strategy of a clinical case in order to review the reflections given. This clinical case is based on the therapy of an obese adult woman. First of all, we developed a history of obesity from the Ancient Age to the Contemporary world in order to understand the different perceptions throughout the history of the obese individual. Then, we mande considerations about the psychoanalytical study on obesity and the clinical attitude towards the obese individual. Finally, we used Winnicott's theory to understand the baby’s psychic constitution process in parallel with the first exchanges established with food. We learned from Winnicott's theory that the baby is nourished by the encounter with his mother-environment which then helps with his psychic constitution process. These theories led to the understanding of this clinical case. The theoretical and clinical reading of this case study combined with Winnicott's theory allowed us to interpret the psychological dynamics of the patient’s functioning as false self and establish relationships with the patient’s obesity in adulthood. In conclusion, we established some considerations about the possible links between obesity in adulthood and the process of psychic constitution and early relationships.

• Problemformulering och syfte: Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på hur mycket och hur svensk media bevakar nyheterna kring Donald Trump som uppstår genom hans twittrande och hur den ser ut nu jämfört i början av hans presidentskap i dags- och kvällstidningar. • Metod och material Undersökningen är en kvalitativ och kvantitativ innehållsanalys om hur Expressen och Dagens Nyheter har rapporterat om Donald Trumps twittrande sedan han blev president. • Huvudresultat Studiens resultat visar att Dagens Nyheter skriver mer om Donald Trump, men att Expressen har en högre andel artiklar om Donald Trumps twittrande. Det går inte att se någon tydlig förändring över tid utan kurvan går upp och ner under hela perioden. Båda tidningarna gestaltar Donald Trumps twittrande genom saklig skandalgestaltning. Studien visar även att redaktionerna lägger upp artiklarna på olika sätt. Expressen skriver om fler saker i samma artikel medan Dagens Nyheter delar upp det i olika artiklar.

We outline four connections between xenophobia and punitiveness toward criminals in a national sample of Americans. First, among self-identified whites xenophobia is more predictive of punitiveness than specific forms of racial animus. Second, xenophobia and punitiveness are strongly connected among whites, but are only moderately and weakly related among black and Hispanic Americans, respectively. Third, among whites substantial proportions of the variance between sociodemographic, political, and religious predictors of punitiveness are mediated by levels of xenophobia. Finally, xenophobia is the strongest overall predictor of punitiveness among whites. Overall, xenophobia is an essential aspect of understanding public punitiveness, particularly among whites.

Early nineteenth-century Eurocentric perceptions of natural history led to the flora and fauna of Australia being thought of as deficient and inferior compared with those of other lands. By the 1820s, Australia had become known as ???the land of contrarieties???. This, and Eurocentric attitudes to nature in general, influenced the expectations and perceptions of immigrants throughout the century. Yet at the same time there was developing an aesthetic appreciation of the natural history of Australia. This thesis examines the tension between these two perceptions in the popular natural history writing of the nineteenth century, mainly through the writing of five authors ??? George Bennett (1804-1893), Louisa Anne Meredith (1812-1895), Samuel Hannaford (1937-1874), Horace Wheelwright (1815-1865) and Donald Macdonald (1859?-1932). George Bennett was a scientist, who saw Australian plants and animals more as scientific specimens than objects of beauty. Louisa Meredith perceived them in the familiar language of English romantic poetry. Samuel Hannaford used another language, that of popular British natural history writers of the mid-nineteenth century. To Horace Wheelwright, Australian animals were equally valuable to the sportsman???s gun as to the naturalist???s pen. Donald Macdonald was the only one of these major writers to have been born in Australia. Although proud of his British heritage, he rejoiced in the beauty of his native land. His writing demonstrates his joy, and his novel attitude to Australian natural history continued and developed in the present century.

Canadian historians periodically reassess the state of their craft, including their role as conveyors of the past to the Canadian public. With each review since the late 1960s, some Canadian historians have attempted to distance the profession from the work of those scholars labelled national historians. Three of the most prominent of these national historians were Arthur Lower, Donald Creighton, and W.L. Morton, whose work was once popular among both professional historians and the general population. Drawing primarily upon reviews of their monographs, this thesis tracks the changing status of national history within English-Canadian historiography since 1945 by examining how Canadian historians have received the work and assessed the careers of Arthur Lower, Donald Creighton, and W.L. Morton.<p> National history can be broadly defined as the history of a specific nation, more typically, a nation-state. While the specific characteristics of national history have, like other types of history, changed over time, Canadian national history in the decades following the end of the Second World War used strong scholarship and clear, readable prose to communicate a specific vision of Canada to the general public. While Lower, Creighton, and Morton applied differing interpretations to their historical research, they all employed these components of national history within their work. After the Canadian Centennial, a new cohort of baby boomer historians brought a different set of values to their understanding of history, and the interpretations so widely acclaimed during the 1950s and early 1960s failed to persuade this new generation of Canadian historians. The lasting reputation of each of these three national historians has been highly dependent on whether each scholars preferred interpretation aligns with the new values held by the new generation of Canadian historians. While W.L. Mortons western perspective fit in well with the regional concerns of the 1980s, and Arthur Lower retained a reputation as an early innovator of social history, Donald Creightons career has been remembered for the strident opinions of his later life, especially regarding the growth of Quebec nationalism and the increasing influence of the United States within Canadian national affairs. It is Creightons diminished reputation among English Canadian historians that is most commonly linked to the moniker of national history. As the gap between the postwar understanding of Canada and the post-Beatles vision for Canada continued to widen throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the Canadian historical community, on the whole, continued to equate all national history with the reactionary reputation of an aging Donald Creighton. While this simplistic view provides convenient shorthand for the genre of national history, it fails to appreciate both the substantial contributions of national historians to Canadian historiography and the widespread influence of their work on the reading Canadian public.

Donald Davidson cherche à montrer comment le langage est produit et compris. Parti de la conviction que l'on ne peut parler de langage que dans le contexte social d'une « triangulation » qui marque l'interaction mutuelle entre les interlocuteurs et leur interaction avec un environnement qu'ils partagent, il appréhende la signification au sein de la communication. Pour l'expliquer et élaborer une théorie qui en rend compte, il replace le langage dans le contexte global de ce qu'on a pris l'habitude de qualifier de « programme sémantique de Davidson », qui soulève plusieurs questions eu égard essentiellement à la vérité, à l'interprétation et à la nature de la relation qui relie le langage à la pensée et à la réalité. Ce mémoire présente alors le fruit d'un travail tout au long duquel on a retracé élément par élément les composantes de l'environnement philosophique dans lequel Davidson insère son programme sémantique. C'est ainsi qu'on a pu le reconstituer et en donner un aperçu assez complet, à partir duquel l'originalité et l'unité du projet de ce philosophe peuvent être mises en évidence. Ce faisant, on a pu montrer que Davidson offre à la philosophie du langage une nouvelle perspective dans laquelle il conçoit le langage dans l'unité organique qui le rattache, par une relation de survenance mutuelle, autant à la pensée qu'à la réalité, formant ainsi la triade Langage-Pensée-Réalité. Désormais, il est possible de voir comment le fonctionnement du langage, de la signification, de la vérité et de l'interprétation culmine dans et est porté par la structure, le contenu et la dynamique que représente cette Triade. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : langage, signification, vérité, interprétation, interprétation radicale, réalité, pensée, sémantique, triade, ontologie, métaphysique, épistémologie.
