A presente tese visa compreender os significados históricos de uma faceta da produção de histórias em quadrinhos alternativas brasileiras do período pós-ditadura civil-militar no Brasil, de 1985 a 1995. A partir da constatação de que as temáticas da sexualidade e do uso de drogas ilícitas assumem importância ímpar no âmago dessa produção, inclusive inaugurando ou aprofundando discursos e representações sobre tais matérias na indústria cultural brasileira do período, buscamos analisá-las detidamente nesse recorte para compor um quadro abrangente de suas motivações e racionalidades. Foram observadas relações de tais matérias com problemáticas da segunda metade do século XX dos movimentos da Contracultura internacional, de divergências políticas no âmbito das esquerdas, das dinâmicas das subculturas urbanas, bem como de conexões com fórmulas emotivas na longa duração de tradições iconográficas. Verificamos que as iniciativas discursivas dos quadrinhos alternativos inserem-se em um movimento de reorientação das ações políticas no âmbito cultural que contribuíram para a incorporação de pautas políticas relacionadas a questões ligadas à autogestão do corpo, à pluralidade identitária e, mais pragmática e incisivamente, à liberdade de expressão durante a reconstrução social de um regime democrático. / This thesis aims to further understand the historical meanings of the alternative comics production in Brazil during a postdictatorial time interval that goes from 1985 to 1995. The starting point is that in the examined artistic output the themes of sexuality and illicit drug use acquire unique and central significance, which results in these matters being introduced or unforeseenly developed in terms of discourse and representation in the context of that period\'s brazilian culture industry. We then proceed to meticulously analyze this scope in order to arrive at a comprehensive depiction of its underlying motivations and rationalities. In doing so, we observe relations to the problematics of international Counterculture movements of the second half of the twentieth century, to internal disputes of groups to the left of the political spectrum, to the dynamics of urban subcultures, as well as to the Pathosformeln in long enduring iconographical traditions. We find that the discursive initiatives of brazilian alternative graphic novels participate in a movement towards reorientation of political action regarding culture which assisted in bringing about a greater incorporation of topics relating to self-governance of the body, plurality of identity, and, in a more pragmatic and incisive way, the role and importance of freedom of speech in the midst of social reconstruction of a democratic regimen.

Socialt arbete tar sig många gånger uttryck genom mellanmänskliga möten och relationer. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva socialsekreterares syn på relationens betydelse mellan socialsekreterare och klienter med beroendeproblematik. Sex socialsekreterare från olika stadsområdesförvaltningar i Malmö stad som arbetar med klienter med beroendeproblematik intervjuades för att få en bild av deras syn på bemötandets och alliansens betydelse i mötet med klienten samt hur de ser på maktobalansen i mötet med klienter. Studien konstaterar att det råder en maktobalans i mötet mellan socialsekreterare och klient.För att få klienten att känna sig trygg i mötet med socialsekreteraren kan relationen användas som ett verktyg. Informanterna menar att relationen i de flesta fall har en stor betydelse för att få tillträde till klientens berättelse och vad hen vill med sin förändringsprocess. Faktorer som klientens tidigare erfarenheter av myndigheter, tidspress och maktobalansen mellan dem kan försvåra för socialsekreteraren att skapa en god relation med sin klient och således tillsammans bygga en allians. Det finns en motstridighet i att samtliga informanter upplever att många av deras klienter har blivit dåligt bemötta av andra myndighetspersoner, medan de själva uttrycker att de alltid försöker bemöta sina klienter väl. / Social work, generally consists interpersonal treatment and relations. The aim of this study was to describe the point of view among social welfare secretaries concerning the significance of the relation between social welfare secretaries and clients with drug abuse. Six social welfare secretaries from different social services in Malmö, working with clients with abuse participated in interviews. Data was gathered by means of interviews, focusing the relative importance of alliance and power in their daily work with clients. The study states that there is imbalance of power when social welfare secretaries and clients meet. The social welfare secretary can use the relation as a tool to make the client feel comfortable and secure in the encounter with the social welfare secretary. The informants implies that the relation is significant in most cases to get access to the client's story and also to investigate the clients understanding and desires. Elements such as the clients earlier experiences of authorities, time pressure, and the imbalance of power between the social welfare secretary and the client can aggravate for the social welfare secretary to build a good relation with the client and eventually a strong alliance. There is a contradiction in the way our informants describes how they treat their clients well and states that they are trying to build a good relationship with them, when on the other hand, all of our informants claims that most of their clients have bad experiences when it comes to meeting authorities.
