The aim of this diploma thesis is the characterization of matches and differences representing everydayness within selected pairs; seniors and their descendants. Based on qualitative in- depth interviews, agreements and disagreements are found in the ideas of everyday life and their own presentation. These agreements or disagreements are further analyzed using the theories of everyday life that are presented in this thesis. Findings about ideas of everyday of each pair is further discussed with existing literature dealing with motives that play a crucial role in deciding of moving a senior, who is no longer able to take care of himself completely, into institutional or home care. Based on literature and research findings, it is discussed whether an interperspective idea of everyday life can be one of the other reasons for choosing home or institutional care for the elderly.

This thesis deals with the sub-themes of everydayness of Jesuit missionaries from Czech province in South America. The author, using sources and literature of domestic and foreign origin, handles questions related to journeys of the Jesuits to South America, mapping their main routes, emotions and experiences, trying to ascertain what the material support of missionaries was and what kind of dangers they met across the ocean. She attempts to reconstruct the course of missions during ordinary as well as festive days and analyses missionary methods currently applied on the Indian population in South America. She refers to limited opportunities of Jesuits' contacts with the homeland, but also with other missionaries. Finally, she handles the questions of how the purposes of the missions could have been reached and how missionaries managed to survive in tough conditions of the missions, but also after the subsequent expulsion and cancellation of the order. Key words: Missionaries, Jesuits, everydayness, South America

The following diploma thesis paper deals with the theme of everydayness and stereotypes within fine arts and art education. The theoretical part firstly focuses on monitoring the phenomenon of everydayness and stereotypes across various scientific disciplines, such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology or history. Subsequently the concept of depicting everydayness and stereotypes in fine arts is developed, which also includes authors whose work deal with the theme of everydayness and stereotypes and whose work fall into the period from the second half of the 20th century till the present day. We created three approaches to the given concept and each approach differs in their approach in depicting the reality of everyday life. In the didactic segment we deal with the issue of high school art education tasks and we follow it up with our own thematic tasks for high school students. Our thematic tasks include five related art tasks, which are aimed at the students to reflect on their own everydayness on several levels. The practical segment is a set of two posters, in which the author work reflects on her own everydayness and her changes depending on the environment. The poster named "Routine" follows everyday life and typical situations, however it also brings poetic moments. The poster...

This research provides one account of the complex relationship between differentiated experiences of deprivation and the dominant poverty construct in the Jamaican context. It is based on research conducted over a period of nine months in a Jamaican 'squatter' community, Windsor, in the Parish of St. Ann. The study is organised into two 'positional' chapters (conceptual framework and methodology) and four direct 'response' chapters that demonstrate the ways in which the official poverty approach (from concept to policy) resonates with the living experiences of individuals. The 'response' chapters step back from debates on the measurement of poverty so as to critically and reflexively consider the construct's conceptual and definitional antinomies. This is done through: (i) an excavation of a partial social history of poverty discourses in Jamaica; (ii) an evaluation of problems with knowledge production in the participatory method; (iii) an examination of the implications of the abstraction of the poor from spatial relations; and (iv) an exploration of different ways in which individuals 'picture' living in their surroundings. The conclusion drawn is that it is necessary to begin engaging in a multidisciplinary project which accounts for difference within the poverty construct. This is because, insofar as it is possible, the removal of the most extreme forms of deprivation is not in itself sufficient for the eradication of the social relations that give rise to these privative 'conditions'. There instead needs to be critical engagement with relations of deprivation as resident in the social body as a whole in conceptualising poverty.

A tese Tempo e Artista. Chico Buarque, avaliador de nossa cotidianidade analisa, dentre as canções que fazem parte da obra musical do compositor Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, aquelas que abordam o cotidiano. O objetivo desta tese é demonstrar como essas canções, mais do que retratarem o cotidiano, também avaliam o dia a dia da sociedade brasileira criando ou destacando ideias e conceitos que são aceitos por uma grande parcela da população nacional entre as décadas de 60 até os anos 2000. Esta pesquisa também busca evidenciar como as letras das músicas compostas pelo artista se assemelham a crônicas, tanto pela estrutura do texto, como em virtude da escolha das temáticas e do compromisso com a realidade em que as mesmas surgem. O percurso deste trabalho iniciou-se com a contextualização da vida e obra do compositor, seguida por uma extensa investigação e captura nos principais veículos de comunicação da época, o que permitiu constatar como a credibilidade do artista foi sendo construída e fortalecida, a ponto do compositor ser considerado praticamente uma unanimidade, tanto entre as camadas mais instruídas da população como também pelos segmentos mais populares, que admiravam o samba buarqueano. Desta forma, autor de uma obra diferenciada, Chico Buarque obteve o endosso para ser o avaliador de nossa cotidianidade. A análise de um total de 24 canções representativas das cinco décadas possibilitou destacar como a poética buarqueana foi delineada e quais os temas que o compositor pinçava ao cotidiano. Finalmente, este estudo espera ter conseguido comprovar como a obra musical de Chico Buarque mostrou, avaliou e interferiu no cotidiano brasileiro. / The thesis Time and Artist: Chico Buarque, evaluator of our everydayness analyzes, among the songs that figure in the musical work of the composer Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, those that approach the everyday life. The objective of this thesis is to show how these songs, more than portraying the everyday life, also evaluate the day-by-day of the Brazilian society by either creating or highlighting ideas and concepts accepted by a large part of the national population from the 1960s to the 2000s. This research also intends to provide evidence of how the artist\'s lyrics resemble chronicles, both for text structure as well as for the selection of themes and engagement with the reality in which these songs arise. The process of this work started with the contextualization of the composer\'s life and work, followed by an extensive investigation and capture in the main communication vehicles at the time. Such process allowed verifying how the artist\'s credibility was built and strengthened up to a level of the author being considered an unanimity, both in the most educated segments of the population as well as among the most popular ones that admired the samba of Chico Buarque. In this sense, as the creator of a unique work, Chico Buarque was empowered to be the evaluator of our everydayness. The analysis of a total of 24 songs representing five decades made possible to emphasize how the poetics of Chico Buarque was designed and which themes he selected from ordinary life. Finally, this study expects to have confirmed how the musical work of Chico Buarque revealed, evaluated and interfered in the Brazilian everyday reality.

[pt] Este trabalho visa analisar as práticas e percepções de médiuns umbandistas, religiosos considerados portadores de um dom para a comunicação com os orixás e entidades, as potências espirituais cultuadas nos terreiros de Umbanda. De viés etnográfico, esta pesquisa prima pela dimensão intersubjetiva do trabalho antropológico, lançando mão da exploração qualitativa dos dados empíricos. Estes, por sua vez, foram levantados a partir de dois procedimentos básicos: a observação participante e a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas entre médiuns de dois centros de culto, ambos situados na Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro. A partir do exame das trajetórias dos interlocutores, o enfoque desta abordagem recai sobre as suas experiências sensíveis em torno de três aspectos: iniciação, práticas curativas e vida cotidiana. Cabe destacar que o transe de possessão constitui a linguagem fundamental de construção do sagrado no conjunto de práticas religiosas umbandistas. Afinal, a materialização dos entes espirituais cultuados na Umbanda se dá, primordialmente, a partir de um fenômeno conhecido como incorporação, isto é, a descida dos guias espirituais sobre os corpos dos iniciados. Estes, portanto, são especializados na realização de passagens, experimentando sucessivos deslizamentos do eu. Ademais, inúmeras outras experiências sensoriais marcam o encontro, nem sempre desprovido de tensões, entre os homens e os seres sagrados, como as vidências e pressentimentos. Isso posto, a tese atenta para a dimensão experiencial da religiosidade, salientando o estatuto conferido ao corpo e as emoções na construção do universo fenomenológico dos umbandistas. Trata-se, em última análise, de um esforço reflexivo debruçado sobre uma forma de ser e estar no mundo assentada sobre interpretações marcadamente sensoriais e corporais do sagrado. / [en] This work aims to analyze the subjective experiences of umbandistas mediums, religious considered owners of the gift of communication with orixás and entidades, the spiritual powers worshiped at umbanda centers. As an ethnography, this research is affiliated to the intersubjective dimension of anthropological work and developed from two basic methodological procedures: participatory observation of the routine of two umbanda centers in the West of Rio de Janeiro and partly structured interviews with mediums. From the exam of the interlocutors trajectories, the focus of this approach is on their sensible experiences around three aspects: initiation, healing practices and daily life. It is relevant to mention the possession trance as the fundamental language to the building of the sacred of the umbandistas religious practices, since the materialization of the spiritual entities happens, primarily, from a phenomenon known as incorporation, when the spiritual guides go down initiated bodies. It turns the mediums specialized in assuming numerous selves. Likewise, some others sensory experiences are present in this encounter, not without tension between men and sacred beings, as the clairvoyant visions and forebodings. Therefore, the thesis considers the experiential dimension of the religiosity, emphasizing the statute given to body and emotions in the building of the phenomenological universe of the umbandistas. It is, ultimately, a reflexive effort about a way to be in the world laid over, markedly, in sensory and bodily interpretations of the lived.

The thesis is entitled Coffee, tea and chocolate as a part of the life of noblemen during the early-modern times period in the Czech countries and it presents the history of everydayness of the nobility in the Czech Kingdom and in the Margraviate of Moravia from the middle of the 17th up to the ending of the 18th century, and it emphasizes the material culture which was used for drinking coffee, tea and chocolate. Castle inventories and municipal palaces inventories were used as an initial source of information. At the very beginning the noble families were chosen and afterwards their residential network was approached in detail. This work also focused on the topography of the residences and on the location of items used for coffee, tea and chocolate consumption within the particular castles or palaces. On this basis the author tried to reconstruct the way of thinking, behavior and attitudes of noblemen, and to explain the symbolic meaning of the decoration of the residences, the symbolic role of items as a representation of noblemen as a mean of the enrichment of their social and cultural habits as well. The set-up of items and other accessories served with coffee, tea and chocolate were not forgotten either. The inventories were put through a deep research which helped to create a social and power stratification on the basis of items used for coffee, tea and chocolate consumption. Another comparison also emerged- the comparison of particular members of various families representation and also the ownership of examined items on the basis of gender definition. This work tried to immerse to the topic of symbolic communication.
