Die studie fokus op etnisiteit gedurende die oorgang na 'n nuwe politieke bedeling in Suid-Afrika. Op teoretiese vlak is aandag gegee aan ideologiese strominge; dimensies van etnisiteit; die omskrywing van etnisiteit en die onderskeid tussen etnisiteit en ander vorme van groepidentifisering. Etnisiteit is verder op sosiaalsielkundige vlak ontleed, terwyl die invloed van ekonomiese, politieke en staatkundige faktore verreken is. Kontekstuele faktore tydens die ondersoek wat resultate kon be'invloed, is ook bestudeer. Die empiriese komponent het 'n vraelysopname in die Pretoria-WitwatersrandVereeniging- gebied (Gauteng) behels. Onderhoude is gedurende Januarie en Februarie 1994 voltooi, aan die vooraand van 'n nuwe politieke bedeling. Ewekansige steekproewe is getrek van 466 swartmense en 460 witmense (347 Afrikaanssprekendes en 113 Engelssprekendes). Patrone van etniese, staatkundige en rasse-identifisering; die betekenis van etnisiteit vir die individu; persepsies van die situasie van groepe en faktore wat etniese identifisering kon be"invloed, is gedek. Die konstrukgeldigheid en dimensies van skale is met hoofkomponent- en hooffaktorontledings ondersoek. Variansie-ontledings het verskille tussen groepe ge'identifiseer, terwyl meervoudige regressie-ontledings voorspellers van etniese identifisering uitgelig het. Belangrike bevindings is die volgende: * Etnisiteit was 'n belangrike bron van groepidentifisering vir sowel swartmense as witmense. 'n Sielkundige dimensie - etniese identiteit - wat verband hou met trots op en lojaliteit teenoor die onsgroep was onderskeibaar. Sterker etniese identifisering het by alle groepe gekorreleer met identiteitsverwerwing; betrokkenheid by en eksplorasie ten opsigte van die onsgroep; minder ambivalente gevoelens oor onsgroeplidmaatskap en 'n drang om onsgroepbelange te beskerm. Sterker etniese identifisering het by Afrikaanssprekende witmense met 'n positiewe selfbeeld en by swartmense met 'n negatiewe selfbeeld gekorreleer. Laer onderwyskwalifikasies het by Afrikaanssprekende witmense met sterker etniese identifisering gekorreleer. Die teenoorgestelde het gegeld vir Afrikaanssprekendes met hoer onderwyskwalifikasies. Persepsies van bedreiging het by Afrikaanssprekende witmense met sterker etniese identifisering verband gehou. Sterker etniese identifisering het by alle groepe 6f met negatiewe tussengroepgedrag 6f met negatiewe tussengroephoudings gekorreleer. Die gevolgtrekking word gemaak dat op alle terreine rekening gehou moet word met die etniese heterogeniteit van die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing. / The study focuses on ethnicity during the transition to a new political dispensation in South Africa. At the theoretical level, attention was given to ideological trends; dimensions of ethnicity; the description of ethnicity and the distinction between ethnicity and other forms of group identification. Ethnicity was furthermore analyzed at the socio-psychological level, while the influence of economic, political and constitutional factors was also considered. Contextual factors during the investigation which could have influenced the results were also analyzed. The empirical component comprised a questionnaire survey in the PretoriaWitwatersrand- Vereeniging area (Gauteng). Interviews were conducted during January and February 1994, on the eve of a new political dispensation. Randomly selected samples were drawn of 466 blacks and 460 whites (347 Afrikaansspeaking and 113 English-speaking). Patterns of ethnic, national and race identification; the meaning of ethnicity for the individual; perceptions of the situation of groups and factors that could influence ethnic identification were covered. The construct validity and dimensions of scales were investigated by means of main component and main factor analyses. Variance analyses identified differences between groups, whereas multiple regression analyses were used to determine predictors of ethnic identification. Important findings were the following: * Ethnicity was an important source of group identification for blacks as well as whites. A psychological dimension - ethnic identity - that related to pride in and loyalty to the ingro11p was highlighted. Stronger ethnic identification correlated among all groups with identity formation; involvement with and exploration regarding the ingroup; less ambivalent feelings about ingroup membership and an urge to protect ingroup interests. Stronger ethnic identification correlated among the Afrikaans-speaking whites with a positive self-image and among the blacks with a negative selfimage. Lower educational qualifications correlated among Afrikaans-speaking whites with stronger ethnic identification. The opposite applied to Afrikaansspeaking whites with higher educational qualifications. Perceived threats were associated with stronger ethnic identification among Afrikaans-speaking whites. Stronger ethnic identification correlated among all groups either with negative intergroup behaviour or with negative intergroup attitudes. It is concluded that ethnic heterogeneity should be taken into account in all spheres of the South African society. / Department of Psychology / D. Lit. et Phil (Psychology)

В настоящем диссертационном исследовании дается определение этнокультурного языкового лагеря и описываются особенности его организации на территории Уральского Федерального округа. Обучение диалогической речи подростков в условиях этнокультурного языкового лагеря осуществляется с помощью комплекса авторских упражнений по темам «Kennenlernen», «Gesundheit» и «Berufe». Выделяется четыре способа обучения диалогу, среди которых с использованием онлайн-сервисов. Упражнения апробируются в группе подростков из 10 человек с уровнем владения языком А1. Эффективность 34 разработанных упражнений определяется в конце лагерной смены на среднем и высоком уровнях сформированности навыка диалогической речи участников экспериментальной группы. / The thesis defines the ethno-cultural language camp and describes the special features of its organisation on the territory of the Ural Federal Region. Teaching dialogical speech of teenagers in an ethno-cultural language camp is carried out with the help of the author's set of exercises on the themes "Kennenlernen", "Gesundheit", and "Berufe". Four ways of teaching dialogue are distinguished, among them using online services. The exercises are tested with a group of 10 teenagers with German language level A1. The effectiveness of the 34 developed exercises is determined at the end of the camp session at the intermediate and high levels of the participants' dialogical skills in the experimental group.

<p>The study explores how struggles for social justice by Guatemalan and Ecuadorian indigenous peasant movements are affected by ethno-politics (the strategic political use of ethnicity), by using a comparative historical approach incorporating structural change and strategic agency. The analysis revolves around the partly enduring, partly changing oligarchic structures. The choice of the countries rests primarily upon the composition of their respective oligarchic classes. In Guatemala, the despotic agrarian oligarchs have dominated for much of the past century; whereas in Ecuador, the oligarchy was divided into an agrarian and a modernist fraction.</p><p>Scholars often locate ethnic politicisation in Latin America within the context of a shift from ‘national popular’ and ‘corporatist’ political orders toward political and economic liberalisation. This shift supposedly unleashed ethnic identities which were previously subordinated by the way indigenous communities were politically incorporated. This study shows that dramatic openings for ethnic politicisation in the 1990s occurred where corporatism had been weak and oligarchic structures persisted. But the elites were unable to use ethnicity as a tool for hegemonic control. Due to the oligarchic legacy, class discourses could not be prevented from being reproduced, and ethnic ones were politicised in a way that is dysfunctional to the elites’ effort to politically disarm the rural poor. Another finding is that the persisting influence of the agrarian oligarchy made the Guatemalan movement more focused on the land struggle and more unwilling/unable to integrate into the political arena prescribed by those in control of the state. In Ecuador, the demise of the agrarian oligarchy and the rise of a strong neo-liberal fraction constituted the context within which the movement moved away from the land struggle. It accessed the ethno-political spaces more firmly but resembled the Guatemalan movement in keeping its strategy of mass mobilisation.</p>

Notre thèse interroge le processus de transmission orale de contes berbères tachelhites marocains, recueillis au Maroc et en France en situation interculturelle et interlingue. Nous mettons l’accent sur la dimension négociée de la transmission, c’est-à-dire sur l’activité médiatrice qui réinterprète le conte pour l’autre – étranger à la culture d’origine du conte – et dans sa langue. Nous analysons cette activité, dans son émergence, dans ses ruptures et dans son ajustement à l’autre par le biais des « traces » qu’elle laisse à la surface des textes. Ces traces révèlent des lieux « sensibles » du discours qui le font apparaître comme traversé par différents ordres d’altérité : linguistique, culturelle, interdiscursive et interlocutive. Nous relevons un ensemble de procédures de (re)médiation, qui assurent la poursuite de la narration, l’intercompréhension par l’explicitation de spécificités et révèlent la nature co-construite des narrations et de la relation interculturelle. Notre analyse met en évidence un niveau « méta » de la médiation qui inscrit le « contage » dans le coeur du conte et donne à voir la manière dont les énonciateurs élaborent le conte, se font les porte-parole, plus ou moins autorisés et distanciés, de leur communauté, se disent dans la relation à l’autre, font état de l’interculturalité et se décentrent pour occuper une position médiane, à partir de laquelle ils déplacent le conte. La mise en regard de diverses modalités de transmission révèle différentes manières d’opérer cette médiation et rend compte d’une variabilité du conte en situation interculturelle, dans sa continuité avec unetradition orale / Our thesis questions the oral transmission process of Berber tashelhiyt Moroccan tales, collected in Morocco and France in an intercultural and interlingual situation. We focus on the negotiated dimension of the process of transmission, that is to say the activity of mediation which reinterprets the tale for the other – foreigner to the tale’s origin culture – and into his language. We analyse this activity through its emergence, its failure, and its adjustment to the other via the marks left on the surface of texts. These marks highlight some « sensitive » discourse parts that are impacted on by various levels of otherness : linguistic, cultural, interdiscursive and interlocutive. We point out a set of procedures of (re)mediation that assures the narrative continuation, the mutual understanding based on specific added details and expose the co-constructed nature of the narration and of the interculturalrelation. Our analysis reveals a « meta » level of mediation that registers the « tale telling » in the tale, revealing how enunciators elaborate storytelling, become the representative of their own community, with more or less personal authority and involvement, how they tell and show themselves, how they evaluate the state of the intercultural relation and occupy a median position from which they shift the tale. The observation of various forms of transmission reveals different ways to make this mediation and reports a tale variation in intercultural situation, in continuity with an oral tradition

O conhecimento tradicional (CT) das populações costeiras pode ser fundamental para a Gestão Costeira Integrada (GCI), pois é de base empírica e combina informações sobre o comportamento dos organismos marinhos e sua taxonomia, processos físicos-oceanográficos, métodos tradicionais de manejo dos recursos naturais, etc. O principal objetivo desse trabalho foi compreender o CT de pescadores artesanais da Baía do Araçá e aplica-lo à gestão costeira através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas conjuntamente com a composição de mapas etnográficos e da sistematização das informações adquiridas. As informações etno-oceanográficas levantadas também foram aplicadas a dois modelos conceituais de orientação para o desenvolvimento de estratégias de gestão local, amplamente utilizados na gestão, a análise SWOT e o DPSIR. A Baía do Araçá é palco de conflitos e impactos que comumente influenciam a qualidade das regiões costeiras e suas relações socioambientais, havendo uma forte necessidade de planejamento do uso do território e, assim, servindo como exemplo para outras localidades. Ao todo, 18 pescadores foram identificados como informantes e entrevistados. Todos demonstraram ter afinidade com a Baía do Araçá e atribuíram ao local uma grande importância para a manutenção de seu modo de vida. Na pesca, foi verificado que a utilização de diferentes estratégias e equipamentos varia conforme as condições do mar e do tempo, espécies-alvo, locais de pesca e de acordo com os saberes e habilidades que cada um possui. De modo geral, os pescadores demonstraram ser \"local experts\", possuindo elevado conhecimento do ambiente que utilizam tanto para sobrevivência como para reprodução sociocultural de seu modo de vida caiçara. As análises SWOT e do DPSIR contribuíram para a sistematização do CT levantado, possibilitando sua utilização por gestores e sua aplicação para o planejamento local. Recomenda-se que esse saber e a participação dos pescadores na tomada de decisão sejam considerados na planificação de políticas de gestão dos espaços e recursos naturais costeiro-marinhos. / The traditional knowledge (TK) of coastal populations may be fundamental to Integrated Coastal Management (ICG), as it is based on empirical practices and combines information about the behavior of marine organisms and their taxonomy, physical-oceanographic processes, traditional methods of natural resource management, etc. The major aim of this work was to understand the TK of artisanal fishermen from Araçá Bay and apply it to coastal management through semi-structured interviews along with the composition of ethnographic maps and the systematization of the acquired information. The ethno-oceanographic information obtained was also applied in two conceptual models, widely used in management, that can guideline the development of local management strategies: the SWOT analysis and DPSIR. Araçá Bay has a scene of multiple conflicts and impacts that commonly influence the quality of coastal regions and their socio-environmental relations, outstanding the important need to plan the use of this territory. Thus the study area serve as an example for other localities. In total, 18 fishermen were identified as informants and were interviewed. All of them demonstrated affinity with Araçá Bay and attribute to this place a great importance for the maintenance of their way of life. For fishing, it was verified that the use of different strategies and equipment varies according to the conditions of the sea and of the weather, to the target species, fishing places and according to the knowledge and abilities that each one possesses. In general, fishermen demonstrated to be \"local experts\", possessing an abundant knowledge of the environment that they use for both survival and sociocultural reproduction of their way of life. SWOT and DPSIR analyzes contributed to the systematization of the registered TK, allowing its use by managers and its application for local planning. It is recommended that both the TK and the participation of fishermen in decision-making practices should be considered in policies of management planning for coastal areas and natural resources.

O objetivo desta dissertação é explorar as construções de narrativas históricas, culturais, de classe, de gênero e de geração produzidas pela comunidade okinawana brasileira. Por meio de suas várias expressões dança, performance, publicações , mas também de suas formas de sociabilidade, intentamos entender as diferentes maneiras como esse grupo se produz nos seus jogos paradoxais de inclusão e de exclusão social. Procuramos avaliar, ainda, como todos esses processos estão conectados a uma certa brasilidade, mas como também (e ao mesmo tempo) o grupo reforça, sempre, discursos de diferença e autonomia. A metodologia do trabalho se insere no debate sobre antropologias nativas e lida com seus impasses. / The main goal of this dissertation is to explore how the historical, cultural, but also class, gender and generation narratives are built by the Brazilian Okinawan community. Through its various expressions dance, performance, publications and also thought other forms of sociability, we tried to understand the different ways that this group creates to understand and to deal with social inclusion and exclusion. We tried to portrait how this road is connected with a certain brazility and, at the same time, how they reiterate speeches that mark difference and autonomy. The methodology of this work is based on the debate known as native anthropology, and deals with its challenges.

A investigação propõe, como objetivo geral, compreender como estes alunos concebem a educação das relações étnico-raciais a partir das suas experiências escolares e, com base nas concepções apresentadas, refletir sobre o alcance da legislação em âmbito local. Como objetivos específicos, o estudo busca: contextualizar a inserção da temática educação das relações étnico-raciais no currículo escolar e suas relações com a realidade escolar do Município de São Leopoldo; analisar, em âmbito local, os limites e as possibilidades de efetivação de uma educação das relações étnico-raciais nas escolas; identificar saberes/conhecimentos/reflexões construídos pelos estudantes concluintes do Ensino Fundamental sobre a educação das relações étnico-raciais com base em suas experiências escolares. A dissertação buscou responder o seguinte problema de pesquisa: quais são as concepções apresentadas por estudantes da rede municipal de Ensino de São Leopoldo, ao concluírem o Ensino Fundamental, sobre a educação das relações étnico-raciais e como a análise dessas formulações permite refletir sobre os avanços e limites, em âmbito local, da Lei 10.639/03, treze anos após sua aprovação? Para responder à pergunta, foi realizado um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, embasado empiricamente em análise documental, aplicação de questionário e realização de entrevistas. Os alunos concluintes do Ensino Fundamental das escolas estudadas pertencentes à rede municipal de ensino de São Leopoldo concebem a educação das relações étnico-raciais tendo por base o sofrimento da população negra no período escravocrata. Então, pode-se pensar que os materiais culturais que circulam pela escola acabam por contribuir para que o currículo seja significado especialmente com base nessa noção vitimizante. / Taking into consideration the thirteen years since the enactment of the law which makes ethno-racial relations education mandatory, the theme of this investigation addresses the conceptions on ethno-racial relations education present in the testimony of students graduating from middle school as from their experiences in two schools of the Municipal Network of São Leopoldo, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in the year of 2016. As its general goal, this research aims to understand how students concluding middle school conceive ethno-racial relations education according to their own school experiences and - based on these conceptions –to reflect on the reach of ethno-racial relations education in the local level. As its specific goals, this study seeks to: contextualize the introduction of the subject of ethno-racial relations education in the school curriculum and its relationship with school realities in the Municipality of São Leopoldo; analyze, in the local level, the limits and the possibilities of effecting ethno-racial relations education in schools; identify knowledge/reflections on ethno-racial relations education constructed by students concluding middle school, based on their school experiences. This master’s thesis strived to answer the following research question: what are the conceptions on ethno-racial relations education presented by students of the Municipal Education Network of São Leopoldo upon concluding middle school, and how does the analysis of these formulations enable the reflection on the progress and the limitations, in the local level, of Law 10.639/03, thirteen years after its enactment? To answer this question, a qualitative study was performed, empirically based on documental analysis, interviews, and questionnaire application. Students concluding middle school in the schools of the municipality of São Leopoldo conceive ethno-racial education based on the suffering of the black population during the slavery period. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the cultural materials circulating throughout the schools end up contributing to a curriculum that is mainly signified in terms of this victimizing notion.

Elementos como a visibilidade do afro-descendente e a política cultural desenvolvida por alguns sujeitos negros serviram como mobilizadores para problematizar os efeitos das verdades que vão além dos sujeitos deste espaço. Orientada pela perspectiva Pós-Estruturalista e as teorizações propostas por Michel Foucault, essa pesquisa utilizou o Jornal Folha do Mate como materialidade investigativa. Depois de realizar as análises do jornal, foi possível identificar três discursos que são tomados como verdades, a citar: o discurso da comunidade, o discurso politicamente correto e o discurso da diversidade étnico-racial. Assim, concluiu-se que o regime de verdades que circula em Venâncio Aires toma a diferença como necessária e a materializa por meio da valorização da diversidade e do exercício da tolerância. Em outras palavras, concede espaços de visibilidade ao negro e celebra a sua diferença, mas dificulta ou impede que se desenvolvam práticas interculturais no município, especialmente na Educação. / This masters degree dissertation had the purpose to understand how the black subject is composed in Venâncio Aires city - RS, based in the analysis of power relation and the speeches brought out by the local newspaper Folha do Mate, from 1970 to 2010. Traces such as the visibility of the African descendant and the cultural guidelines wrote by a few black subjects supplied persuasion to question the effects of the truths that go beyond of the people from this space. Headed for the poststructuralist perspective and theorizing proposed by Michel Foucault, this research took as a palpable investigative data the newspaper called Folha do Mate. After making the analysis of the data it was possible to identify three discourses that are taken as truths, quoted here: the community discourse, the politically correct discourse and the ethnic and racial diversity discourse. Therefore, it is said that the regime of truths that goes around in Venâncio Aires takes the difference as necessary and emerges it through the value given to diversity and the exercise of tolerance. In other words, it concedes places of visibility to the black people and celebrates their difference, but breaks or stops the development of intercultural practices in the Venâncio Aires, especially in Education.

What is it like to grow up in the United States Midwest, without an accessible co-ethnic population, as a second-generation Korean American Christian? Drawing from forty-seven in-depth interviews of second-generation Korean American Christians who grew up in the Midwest, an analysis of the data reveals several aspects of their lives. First, Korean American families are moving to the Midwest for educational and economic gain, because of pre-existing networks with friends and family, and through family sponsorships. Second, this data reveals the long-term consequences of racism this population faces, causing some to desire to leave the Midwest, to internalize their oppression, or to work towards changing society through their careers and churches. Religious identity is a key factor in helping respondents process the racism they have faced. Second-generation Korean American Christians in the Midwest also find a sense of belonging, that they did not find in their neighborhoods and schools, through ethno-religious communities: Korean American Christian youth camp and/or organizations during college. Participation in these groups strengthened both their religious and ethnic identities.
