A proposta visa, portanto, apreender estas no momento de ruptura das alianças familiares, a fim de focalizar aquelas que após o casamento perante a Igreja, buscavam romper os laços matrimoniais. Vislumbra-se, dessa forma, a possibilidade de se realizar uma história das mulheres da elite colonial paulista, utilizando documentos referentes aos ¿processos de divórcio¿ e legislações civil e eclesiástica, complementados por testamentos, inventários, livro de notas, dispensas matrimoniais, registros de casamentos, processos crimes, narrativa de viajantes e genealogias referentes à Capitania de São Paulo. Com base na pesquisa efetuada procuramos verificar em que medida a atuação social destas mulheres foi maior do que a historiografia tem apontado, e, conseqüentemente, questionar os estereótipos referentes às mulheres da elite paulista cristalizados nas imagens de devoção e reclusão / Abstract: When looking at elite woman, we have as a target to check, by the divorces processes, the relation between woman and the Church Justice. The proposal has one intention, to learn the right moment of the breaking point of family alliance, in order to focus that one who after marriage in the Church, wanted to divorce. This way, the possibility of telling a story of woman of Paulista Colonial Elite, using documents of the ¿divorce processes¿ and civil and church legislation, added with testaments, inventory, books, marriage dispensation, birth certificate, criminal processes, travelers registers and genealogy regarding Capitania of São Paulo. Based on the research we tried to check how important the woman¿s social influence were compared with the History tells us, and consequently, ask the stereotype, regarding woman of Paulista elite crystallized in image of devotion and seclusion / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

This dissertation evaluates the vision of empowering African elites iQ the International Church of Pretoria and suggests the ways to successfully train and empowers these Africans for the positive socio-political transformation of Africa. Such Christian empowering is so complex that it has to deal with the spiritual, psychological, intellectual and/or technical and socio-political aspects of the life of the trainee. After describing the problems that prevent these elites from behaving adequately and the portrait that can facilitate the successful selection of their trainers the dissertation proposes the guidelines of the empowering programmes for different elite groups. In the main the curriculum comprises a four-level conversion component for proper Christian life, and a psychotherapy empowerment coupled with horizontalisation for their liberation from psychological and socio-political evils, and a programme for the selection and the training of the spiritual leaders of the African elites. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M.Th.

This thesis discusses the intersections of class and the lack of social mobility in three versions of Cinderella from the seventeenth century. The works covered are are Giambattista Basile's "La Gatta Cennerentola" ["The Cat Cinderella"] (c.1634), Charles Perrault's "La Petite Pantoufle de Verre" ["The Glass Slipper"] (1697), and Marie- Catherine D'Aulnoy's "Finette Cendrone" ["Clever Cinderella"] (1697). The seventeenth-century versions of Cinderella all reaffirm the existing class system. In each of these versions the message is that the ruling elite must maintain or regain to their status. We can see this by the ways in which the characters gain and lose status in their respective narratives. Ultimately, the early modern Cinderella story is one that supports a hereditary class system. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Constituição Federal de 1988 possibilitou perspectivas mais inclusivas da sociedade civil nas tomadas de decisões sobre políticas públicas, como por meio de referendos, plebiscitos, conselhos gestores, audiências, entre outros, na tentativa de modificar a ortodoxia de centralismo decisório até então praticada. Entretanto, estudos a respeito de práticas de participação social passaram a denunciar limitações do empoderamento da sociedade civil ocasionadas na conjuntura neoliberal do Brasil. Isso impactou na concentração de poder deliberativo sobre decisões públicas nas mãos de restritos atores da sociedade política. Por outro lado, tais estudos não apresentam resultados sobre relações de poder desenvolvidas na elaboração do planejamento governamental municipal, materializado no plano plurianual – PPA, uma política essencial para o estabelecimento de ações de governo a serem implementadas diante das mais variadas demandas sociais. Partindo-se desta lacuna de investigação, caberia responder: quem são e como participam os atores da sociedade política e da sociedade civil na elaboração do planejamento governamental municipal? Por meio de um estudo de caso da elaboração do PPA 2018 – 20121 da microrregião de Ponta Grossa do Estado do Paraná, o presente estudo adota como objetivo investigar as relações de poder estabelecidas na elaboração do planejamento governamental municipal a partir da ótica da sua elite política executiva. Para melhor justificativa dos resultados levantados, adota-se a observância dos perfis ideológicos das elites políticas e as distinções entre áreas temáticas públicas. Metodologicamente, esta pesquisa caracteriza-se como descritiva e explicativa, estando baseada em estudo de caso único a partir do uso da técnica de entrevistas junto às elites políticas dos Poderes Executivos da microrregião de Ponta Grossa/PR. Como resultado, observa-se um panorama de elaboração do planejamento governamental embasado na concentração do poder deliberativo nas figuras da elite política executiva, mais precisamente, nos Secretários/Presidentes das áreas temáticas, cabendo à sociedade civil a participação de forma consultiva, independentemente do perfil ideológico identificado, porém com algumas exceções de áreas temáticas com maior deliberação e autogestão da sociedade civil. Este cenário, de forma geral, reflete regulamentações da participação social nem sempre efetivadas e perfis ideológicos das elites estudadas mais voltados à defesa da participação social consultiva e fiscalizatória. Diante dos resultados e das literaturas apresentadas ao longo da teoria, que defendem a participação da sociedade civil e de seus segmentos organizados de forma deliberativa, recomenda-se às elites políticas adotarem uma governança mais democrática mediante promoção de tal empoderamento, como por intermédio de conferências temáticas e colegiados deliberativos voltados à elaboração do PPA, objetivando o desenvolvimento regional e político dos cidadãos. / The Federal Constitution of 1988 provided more inclusive perspectives of the civil society in public decision-making policies, such as referendums, plebiscites, management councils, audiences, among others, in an attempt to change the orthodoxy of the centralism on decision-making practiced up to that moment. However, studies about social participation practices started to denounce limitations on the civil society empowerment caused by the neoliberal conjuncture in Brazil. This has impacted on the concentration of deliberative power over public decisions in the hands of restricted actors in political society. On the other hand, these studies do not present results about power relations developed in the elaboration of municipal government planning, materialized in the multiyear plan, an essential policy for the establishment of government actions to be implemented in face of the most varied social demands. Starting from this research gap, it would be necessary to answer the following questions: who are and how do the actors of political society and civil society participate in the municipal government planning elaboration? By means of a case study on the preparation of the multiyear plan 2018 - 2021 to the Ponta Grossa’s microregion at the State of Paraná, the present study aims to investigate the power relations established in the elaboration of the municipal government planning by the political executive elite’s point of view. To justify better the results obtained, it is adopted the observance of ideological profiles of political elites and the distinctions between public thematic areas. This research is methodologically characterized as descriptive and explanatory, being based on a single case study using the technique of interviews with the Executive Power political elites at the microregion. As a result, there is a panorama on the elaboration of governmental planning based on the concentration of deliberative power in the executive political elite, more precisely, in the Secretaries / Presidents of the thematic areas, and civil society participation in an advisory form, regardless of the ideological profile identified, although with some exceptions in thematic areas with greater deliberation and self-management from civil society. This scenario, in general, reflects regulations of social participation not always implemented and ideological profiles of the elites studied more focused on the defense of social participation as advisory and monitoring. Given the results and literature presented throughout the theory, which advocate to the civil society and its organized segments participation in a deliberative way, it is recommended that the political elites it is recommended that political elites adopt a more democratic governance through the promotion of such empowerment, as well as through thematic and collegial deliberative conferences aimed at the elaboration of the multiyear plans, aiming at the regional and political development of citizens.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This history investigates the beginnings of community foundations in general and the creation of the Indianapolis Foundation specifically and its eventual funding of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. My findings reveal that, contrary to previous histories that have been written, the creation of community foundations was not driven by benevolence but by changes in federal and state banking laws starting in 1913 that allowed banks to have trust departments that broke the monopoly that trust companies had long enjoyed. In response, trust company executives chartered community trusts to publicly position themselves as benevolent, community-minded businessmen. This distinguished them as trustworthy compared to the greedy bankers of the day, which helped trust companies gain trust customers. Community trusts were responsible for identifying and disbursing funds to deserving beneficiaries, thereby relieving trust companies of a costly and time consuming burden. Even more important, the trust companies retained control over the community trusts by appointing surrogate board members. In addition, none of the trust companies that chartered the Indianapolis Foundation donated their own money, yet appeared charitable. All of these factors made community foundations a very lucrative arrangement. Funding the areas of arts and culture was not designated in the Indianapolis Foundation’s original purpose statement, yet the Indiana State Symphony Society was funded at the height of the Great Depression while many Indianapolis citizens went hungry. The love of music played a very small part in efforts by the wealthy elite to garner support from the Indianapolis Foundation for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. The public justifications for funding the symphony began with giving psychological relief to the citizens of Indianapolis from the pressures of the Great Depression, to the need of employment for musicians, then the importance of musical education of children, expanding to the importance of the symphony to the city’s reputation, and finally, in the 1980s, the symphony as a community asset that helped rejuvenate downtown Indianapolis. However, the real reason for funding was that the wealthy elite wanted the symphony to use as a flattering cultural institution that would elevate their social status and attract fellow elites and businesses to Indianapolis.

Representational artistic works were researched as visual evidence for the social, political, religious and economic lifestyles of the ancient Egyptian elite. The aims were to comprehend the status of elite women and to challenge the hypothesis that during the New Kingdom they enjoyed an increased social status in comparison to that of their predecessors. Many artistic works were analysed (tomb and palace wall scenes, statues, obelisks and personal artefacts), on the quest for evidence for the roles of elite women in events, practices and rituals at the time when the objects were created. Various international museums were visited and personal observations are correlated with expert publications. The study concludes that the status of elite women in the New Kingdom was both significantly different and exalted in comparison with the status of their counterparts during earlier dynasties. / OLD TESTAMENT & ANCIENT NE / MA (ANC NEAR EAST STUDIES)

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis is a critical literature review on the studies of social movements and contentious politics in the U.S. and China. Thanks to theories of contentious politics, we can analyze the studies of America’s social movements and China’s collective actions in the same “frame.” By making a comparison, this thesis tries to construct a theoretical dialogue between the studies across both countries. At the same time, it criticizes over-generalizing the mode “democratic-nondemocratic” in analysis of repertories of contentious politics and downplaying capitalism’s role in the social movements. From the various empirical studies in both countries, this thesis argues that a generalization should be based on the diversity of this realm, not just from the western perspective.
