Mediations connected to changes in the work system and the process of the social assistant profession were investigated. The work category analysis was reference to understand this issues into the capitalist mode of production and to unveil the concept of work alienation expressed by wage. The reproduction of capital system was understood in its historical monopoly order, considering socio-historical conditions in context present in the genesis and social significance of the Social Work. The research reveals particular forms of the work s precariousness and new expressions of the social issue within Social Work profession, under a flexible accumulation regime. / Esta dissertação objetiva analisar os impactos das transformações societárias em curso no período histórico de transição dos séculos XX e XXI na particularidade da profissão do Serviço Social. Investigaram-se as mediações que se estabelecem entre as transformações no mundo do trabalho e a processualidade do exercício profissional dos assistentes sociais em seu cotidiano. A análise da categoria trabalho referenciou essa compreensão na particularidade histórica do modo de produção capitalista, desvelando seu significado como trabalho alienado na forma social de assalariamento. O movimento de reprodução do capital foi apreendido em sua particularidade histórica na ordem monopolista, contextualizando as condições sóciohistóricas que demandaram a gênese e o significado social do Serviço Social. A pesquisa é reveladora das particularidades das formas de precarização do trabalho e das novas expressões da questão social no âmbito da profissão do Serviço Social, em tempo de padrão de acumulação flexível.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo tratar de aspectos da abordagem crítica elaborada nos últimos anos por Robert Kurz. A análise procura (1) mostrar como Kurz recupera, reformula e expande a crítica marxiana do valor e do fetichismo, (2) perscrutar, nessa apropriação e releitura que o autor leva a cabo, a mediação da teoria crítica e (3) apontar os resultados a que chega Kurz no que diz respeito aos temas aqui discutidos. A dissertação enfoca a construção teórica de Kurz no que tange à crítica ao marxismo tradicional, à crítica do sujeito e à ressignificação do conceito de fetichismo. Considera-se que o enfoque desses aspectos permite divisar como a elaboração de Kurz realiza uma crítica da modernidade que se dirige aos seus fundamentos. / The aim of this Masters thesis is to deal with some aspects of the critical approach which has been elaborated by Robert Kurz in the last few years. The analysis intends (1) to show how Kurz recovers, reformulates and expands the marxian critique of value and fetishism, (2) to examine, in this appropriation and rereading accomplished by the author, the mediation of the Critical Theory and (3) to point out the results achieved by Kurz concerning the themes that are discussed here. The thesis focuses on Kurzs theoretical construction encompassing the following topics: critique of traditional Marxism, critique of the subject and resignification of the concept of fetishism. The focus on these topics allows to realize how Kurzs elaboration fulfills a critique of the Modernity itself which addresses to its grounds.

It is an exploratory research. Thirty nine cds were interviewed; eight cds patients have attended psychoanalysis sessions for five years; the literature produced by crossdressing groups (magazines, books, supporter sites, dating sites and erotic sites) was researched and the author has developed familiarity with members of the Brazilian Crossdressing Club. The Freudian theory of psychosexual development and the psychopathologic concepts of Lacan and McDougall are utilized to guide the research, to which the concept of crossdresser erotism is aggregated after the analysis of the data. In the final part, the findings and hypotheses of the present research are compared to the already classical psychoanalytical hypotheses on this subject (notably Stoller´s and Lacanian followers ). The necessity of revising some of the classical hypotheses of the crossdressers psychodynamic is stressed, as well as the relationships with fetishism and with perversion. Clinical suggestions to attend crossdressers are also presented / Nesta tese se investiga a sexualidade de travestis masculinos aqui denominados de crossdressers (cds) para diferenciá-los de travestis que se prostituem. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória. Foram realizadas 39 entrevistas com cds, atendidos 8 pacientes cds por cinco anos em psicanálise, pesquisada a literatura produzida pelos próprios grupos de crossdressing (revistas, livros, sites de apoio, sites de encontros e sites eróticos) e conviveu-se com membros do Brazilian Crossdressing Club. Para guiar a pesquisa, utilizou-se da teoria freudiana de desenvolvimento psicossexual e de conceitos psicopatológicos de Lacan e McDougall, aos quais se agregou, após a análise dos dados, o conceito de erotismo crossdresser . Ao final, as descobertas e hipóteses da presente pesquisa foram comparadas às hipóteses psicanalíticas já clássicas sobre o tema (notadamente de Stoller e de pensadores do campo lacaniano), destacando-se a necessidade de revisar algumas das hipóteses clássicas sobre a psicodinâmica crossdresser, bem como sua relação com o fetichismo e com a perversão. Também foram apresentadas sugestões clínicas para o atendimento de crossdressers

Esta dissertação é uma etnografia realizada em três festas fetichistas/sadomasoquistas (autodenominadas BDSM), abertas ao público em geral, que acontecem na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Meu objetivo foi investigar este tipo de sociabilidade, tendo como foco dois importantes temas das Ciências Sociais: festas e sexualidade. A revisão teórica e a análise do material de campo buscam o diálogo com estes temas através de uma reflexão sobre identidade e gênero. / This study consists on an ethnography in three public fetishist/sadomasochistic parties (self-called BDSM parties) that take place in Rio de Janeiro. My aim was to investigate this kind of sociability, focusing on two important themes in Social Sciences: parties and sexuality. Bibliographic review and fieldwork analysis search for a dialog with these two themes by means of considering identity and gender issues.

O processo histórico dialético é acompanhado não apenas da transformação do conteúdo normativo das leis, mas da transformação da própria forma legal em si. Conforme a organização da produção vai se desenvolvendo nas relações sociais mais complexas, as categorias do Direito também se tornam mais complexas, cada vez mais autônomas e definidas. O capitalismo é um movimento, que, como tal, se parar, não consegue se sustentar. Se todas as pessoas ficarem em casa, paradas, sem consumir, o sistema entra em colapso, pois a mercadoria precisa circular. Igualmente, o sistema penal precisa produzir normas punitivas para se manter, ainda que a circulação delas aconteça com base apenas em seu valor simbólico. a produção de normas penais reproduz a lógica da produção de mercadorias, a qual, por meio do fetichismo, segrega o valor-de-uso do valor, possibilitando que leis sejam criadas independentemente de serem úteis, mas apenas para circularem e reforçarem a estrutura punitiva. A compreensão da cisão entre valor e utilidade é fundamental para esclarecer o fetichismo da norma penal, que se manifesta por meio da expansão da criminalização e do agravamento das penas. Por mais que se tenha clara a ineficácia da produção de leis punitivas para resolver problemas sociais, a criação de novos tipos penais está ancorada em seu valor, separado de sua utilidade concreta. / The dialectical historical process is accompanied not only the transformation of the normative content of the laws, but the transformation of their own legal form itself. As the organization of production will be developing more complex social relationships, the categories of law have also become more complex, increasingly autonomous and defined. Capitalism is a movement, as such, if you stop, can not sustain itself. If all the people staying at home, still without consuming, the system collapses, because the commodity needs to circulate. Also, the criminal justice system needs to produce punitive rules to keep, even though the circulation of them happen based only on their symbolic value. the production of criminal law reproduces the logic of commodity production, which, by means of fetishism, secretes the value of the use-value, enabling laws are created regardless of whether they are useful, but only to move and strengthen the structure punitive . Understanding the split between value and usefulness is essential to clarify the fetishism of the criminal provision, which manifests itself through the expansion of criminalization and increased penalties. As much as it has clear inefficiencies in the production of punitive laws to solve social problems, creation of new crimes is anchored in its value, separated from its practical usefulness.

Orientador: Fátima A. Cabral / Banca: Isabel F. R. Loureiro / Banca: Wilson da Costa Bueno / Resumo: Debatemos a idéia de que existiu, no período estudado, uma fetichização da divulgação científica nas revistas Superinteressante, suas edições especiais publicadas em 2005 e na National Geographic Magazine, editada nos Estados Unidos e traduzida no Brasil. Nosso objetivo é investigar o que acontece com a ciência quando é transformada em mercadoria e submetida na mídia aos padrões do jornalismo que aparecem em algumas revistas: sensação, sucesso e relaxamento. A hipótese é que, quando a reportagem sobre ciência assume essa forma, ela fetichiza a divulgação científica, transformando-a em mero entretenimento. Note-se, portanto, que nossa meta não é fazer a crítica da ciência divulgada, analisando se a informação jornalística é fiel ou não ao ramo científico abordado, e sim observar como a ciência perde o potencial de crítica ao se submeter ao padrão fetichizado. Estamos interessados em demonstrar, assim, como a divulgação fetichizada falha ao não fazer da ciência uma ferramenta para entender a sociedade. / Abstract: We discuss the idea that there is a fetishism of scientific journalism on Superinteressante Magazine, its special editions and on National Geographic Magazine, published in United States and translated to be published in Brazil. Our goal is to investigate what happens with science when it becomes a product, made specifically to sell magazines, and when it's subdued by magazine style's patterns: sensation, success and relaxing. The hypothesis is when science stories take this form, they become fetishism because it's transformed in simple entertainment. Observe, however, that our purpose is not to criticize the science on media analyzing if the texts are coherents to researches but point out how science looses the critic potential in this fetishism. Our interest is demonstrate how scientific journalism fails using science as an arm to understand society. / Mestre

The current culture of commodity fetishism that surrounds both modern art and tattoos are disproportionately a part of the perpetuation of an artificial sense of society and community. It promotes the notion that by simply by inking the deeper layers of their skin or by spending millions on a painting that somehow one becomes elevated and enters an elite space, or club, of people like them.

In this thesis I investigate whether human sexual preferences develop through sexual imprinting. Sexual imprinting is the acquisition of sexual preferences through non-rewarded experiences with parents and siblings during an early sensitive period and it is known to exist in many other animals. Learning is often sex specific so that males, for instance, learn to prefer as sexual partners individuals that look like their mother, and avoid individuals that look like their father. First, sexual imprinting in animals and humans is reviewed and compared to prevailing evolutionary views presupposing genetically determined sexual preferences. Further, by means of web surveys, I have explored the relationship between childhood exposure to parents with certain natural and cultural traits and sexual attraction to these traits in a partner. Cultural traits were included because it is unlikely that preferences for them are genetically determined adaptations. Parental effects varied between traits. For instance, in heterosexual males, a positive effect of mother was found on attraction to smoking, but not glasses, while a negative paternal effect was found on attraction to glasses, but not smoking. However, when maternal and paternal effects were investigated for a large number of artificial and natural traits, including smoking and glasses, an overall positive effect of opposite sex parent emerged in both heterosexual males and females. Additionally, in the last study we explored a sexual preference for pregnant and lactating women. Results suggest that exposure to a pregnant and lactating mother had an effect if it occurred when the respondent was between 1,5 and 5 years old. In conclusion, these results suggest that human sexual preferences are the result of sex specific learning during a sensitive period. Sexual imprinting should therefore be recognised as a plausible explanation to human sexual preferences that deserves further scientific investigation. / At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Manuscript.

Fault Lines positions a theory of gay male subjectivity as it relates to the Queer skinhead and its dissemination in gay male pornography. In narrating the transformation of the original skinhead as a subcultural youth type to its present re-signification as a fetish and sexual identity within gay male subculture, Fault Lines reveals a tripartite problem of fetishism, sadomasochism and fascism. Through an analysis of Bruce LaBruce's film Skin Gang / Skin Flick (1999) these problems are contextualised within a discourse of gay male pornography, broadening the investigation to consider how problems of masculinity, violence and race manifest within a distinctly gay male sexual imaginary. Examining the representational function of the Queer skinhead, Fault Lines seeks to speculate on how notions of a gay male subject and subjectivity can be established at the intersection of an aesthetic, political and social experience.
