No. of bitstreams: 1 Arquivototal.pdf: 1308133 bytes, checksum: 5e8edd9d6322bffba07fbf25b81ad6ac (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-12-14 / In spite of significant advances and increasing possibilities of social participation experienced by both women and persons with disabilities, the naturalization of their bodies remains as the main factor related to the permanence of practices of silencing and discrimination. In this doctoral research, the starting point is the observation that feminist movements, as well as the vast literature on gender issues, are fragile when it comes to the intersection with disability; in turn, most studies on disability neglect the female condition. Considering that gender and disability intersect as factors of oppression and discrimination that heighten female vulnerability and inequalities, the argument presented in this dissertation is that, in the case of women with disabilities, the process of precariousness of life occurs through the intersection of ableist and sexist structures. By establishing strong barriers to access to school, higher education, and to the full exercise of their sexuality, such structures place them in unequal positions in relation to men with disabilities and women without disabilities. Therefore, the purpose of this research, located in the area of Cultural Studies of Education, was to analyze the effects of ableist and sexist structures in the experience of inequality and multiple vulnerabilities of women with disabilities. Based on literature review and an empirical approach to the trajectories of women with disabilities, it discusses the precariousness of the life they experience from the perspective of ableism and gender inequalities. It uses the notion of trajectory proposed by Pierre Bourdieu, which emphasizes the individual action of certain subjects (habitus), in close relation with wider social contexts (fields). The narratives of the educational trajectories of Maria Aparecida Ramos de Menezes, Joana Belarmino de Souza, and Nayara de Almeida Adriano, professors with disabilities at Federal University of Paraíba, collected through interviews conducted in the first semester of 2016, seek to answer the research question: "How ableist and sexist inequalities appear in the educational trajectories of women with disabilities within family, school, and higher education?" Based on their narratives, which evoke my own trajectory as a woman with a visual disability, the analysis points at the common experiences of inequality lived by women with disabilities, which exclude them from participation in the public sphere and deny their right to autonomous choice and decision-making, within a sexist and ableist culture. However, the trajectories of these three women reveal that education makes it possible to breakdown such barriers and contribute to the educational and social development of other women with disabilities. By presenting the relevant contributions of feminist perspectives regarding a new understanding of disability, this dissertation aims at strengthening the debate about the transformation of able-normative mentalities, a still incipient debate in both movements of women and people with disabilities, in order to open new possibilities of empowerment and social participation. / Apesar dos significativos avanços e das crescentes possibilidades de participação social vivenciadas por mulheres e pessoas com deficiência, observa-se que a naturalização de seus corpos é fator principal da manutenção de práticas de silenciamento e discriminação. Nesta pesquisa doutoral, constata-se inicialmente que os movimentos feministas, assim como a vasta literatura em torno de questões de gênero, são frágeis quando se trata da intersecção com a deficiência; por sua vez, a maioria dos estudos sobre deficiência negligencia a condição feminina. Ao considerar que gênero e deficiência se entrecortam como fatores de opressão e discriminação que potencializam a vulnerabilidade e a desigualdade feminina, o argumento desta tese é que, no caso da mulher com deficiência, o processo de precariedade da vida se dá pela intersecção de estruturas capacitistas e sexistas. Estas estruturas, ao estabelecerem sólidas barreiras ao acesso à escola, à universidade e ao pleno exercício de sua sexualidade, as colocam em posições desiguais em relação aos homens com deficiência e às mulheres sem deficiência. Assim, o objetivo geral da investigação, situada na área dos Estudos Culturais da Educação, foi analisar os efeitos das estruturas capacitistas e de gênero na experiência de desigualdade e múltiplas vulnerabilidades de mulheres com deficiência. Com base em revisão de literatura e abordagem empírica de trajetórias de mulheres com deficiência, discute-se a precariedade da vida dessas mulheres, sob as perspectivas do capacitismo e das desigualdades de gênero. Utiliza-se a noção de trajetória proposta por Pierre Bourdieu, a qual destaca a ação individual de determinados sujeitos (habitus), em estreita relação com contextos sociais mais amplos (campos). Os relatos das trajetórias educacionais de Maria Aparecida Ramos de Menezes, Joana Belarmino de Souza e Nayara de Almeida Adriano, professoras com deficiência em atuação na Universidade Federal da Paraíba, colhidos através de entrevistas realizadas no primeiro semestre de 2016, buscam responder à pergunta de pesquisa: De que forma as desigualdades capacitistas e de gênero se evidenciam nas trajetórias familiares, escolares e acadêmicas de mulheres com deficiência? Com base em suas narrativas, que evocam a minha própria trajetória como mulher com deficiência visual, a análise aponta experiências de desigualdade vivenciadas pelo coletivo de mulheres com deficiência que, resultantes de uma cultura sexista e capacitista, as excluem da participação na esfera pública e lhes negam o direito de realizar escolhas e tomar decisões por conta própria. Todavia, as trajetórias dessas três mulheres revelam que, através da educação, é possível romper com as barreiras supracitadas e contribuir para o desenvolvimento educacional e social de outras mulheres com deficiência. Ao apresentar as relevantes contribuições das perspectivas feministas no tocante a uma nova compreensão acerca da deficiência, espero fortalecer o debate, ainda incipiente em ambos os movimentos, de mulheres e pessoas com deficiência, acerca da ruptura de mentalidades corpo-normativas, para suscitar novas possibilidades de empoderamento e participação social.

Through their experiences, the conditions of work, the changes brought about by the new communication technologies and the precariousness of the profession are analyzed. It also investigates the relations of the journalists with the head, with the colleagues, with the direction of the company and with the sources, as well as the experiences of those who have performed or are in the position of leadership. The interviewees report cases of moral and sexual harassment, situations of sexism, male chauvinism and other discrimination based on gender differences, which also intersect with other elements, such as race, class and origin. The professionals reveal their conceptions of gender and reflect on the ideologies that are passed on by journalism as a producer of meanings and legitimator of values and visions circulating in the social environment. In addition, the reconciliation between work and personal life is analyzed, since the exercise of journalism requires dedication and reproductive work remains a feminine responsibility. In the effort to perceive transformations and continuities, the interviewees are journalists who began to work in the profession in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2010. The theoretical-methodological basis is developed from studies on journalism, which talk about the ways of producing news and the identity of the journalist; and gender studies that raise questions about the naturalized behaviors of sexism practiced by both men and women that result in different types of oppression, backed by biological differences and the presumption of male superiority. / Essa pesquisa investiga as implicações da feminização do jornalismo e as desigualdades de gênero no exercício do jornalismo sob a perspectiva de 20 mulheres que atuaram ou atuam na profissão em Goiânia. Por meio das experiências narradas por elas, são analisadas as condições de trabalho, as mudanças trazidas pelas novas tecnologias de comunicação e pela precarização da profissão. São investigadas também as relações das jornalistas com a chefia, com os/as colegas, com a direção da empresa e com as fontes, bem como as experiências daquelas que desempenharam ou se encontram em funções de chefia. As entrevistadas relatam casos de assédio moral e sexual, situações de sexismo, machismo e outras discriminações baseadas nas diferenças de gênero, que fazem também intersecção com outros elementos, como raça, classe e origem. As profissionais revelam suas concepções de gênero e refletem sobre as ideologias que são repassadas pelo jornalismo enquanto produtor de sentidos e legitimador de valores e visões circulantes no meio social. Além disso, é analisada como se dá a conciliação entre vida profissional e pessoal, visto que o exercício do jornalismo exige muita dedicação de tempo e os trabalhos reprodutivos continuam sendo uma responsabilidade feminina. No esforço de perceber transformações e continuidades, as entrevistadas são jornalistas que começaram a atuar na profissão nas décadas de 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 e 2010. A base teórico-metodológica desenvolve-se a partir de estudos sobre jornalismo, que falam sobre os modos de produção de notícias e a identidade do/a jornalista; e estudos de gênero, que trazem questionamentos sobre os comportamentos naturalizados de sexismo, praticados tanto por homens quanto por mulheres, que resultam em diferentes tipos de opressão, respaldados pelas diferenças biológicas e pela presunção da superioridade masculina.

This qualitative study of a migrant self-organisation in Bologna, Italy analyses the power relations between immigrants and supporters within the field of voluntary work in the migration sector. Based on eight semi-structured interviews it explores the perception of power relations of the members of the intercultural association Spazio per tutti. The material was analysed with the help of thematic analysis and a postcolonial and intersectional perspective. In the first part of the discussion, it is demonstrated, along the theory of “strange encounters” of Sara Ahmed (2000), how dominant norms, such as the invisible norm of whiteness, are still present in the association and immigrants are confronted with the paradigm of integration. The second part of the analysis shows instead, with the help of Homi Bhabha’s theory of the third space (1994), how the association creates a space where fixed identities and roles can be challenged and negotiated. By taking the intersectional approach into account, it gets further clear that the internal power relations are more complex for being grasped along binary categories (e.g. immigrants and non-immigrants), as they for example do not reflect the special subject position of Black women. In a nutshell, the present case study demonstrates the need to draw the attention to the political dimension of social work with immigrants and to create more awareness for intersectional justice, also within organisations that already follow an empowerment approach.

Cette recherche se concentre sur les inégalités de genre rencontrées par les jeunes femmes chrétiennes mariées au Liban lors de leur transition vers l'âge adulte. L'objectif de cette étude est de comprendre les mécanismes qui contribuent à l'imposition de limites professionnelles à ces femmes, malgré leur niveau d'éducation et leurs qualifications. Le premier volet de la recherche explore les transformations de la famille, les évolutions du marché de l'emploi et la place des femmes au Liban. Bien que le pays ait connu des avancées positives en termes d'égalité des sexes et d'autonomisation des femmes par rapport à d'autres pays arabes, certaines restrictions persistent en raison de facteurs tels que la religion, les conflits régionaux, le système économique et une structure légale fondée sur un système patriarcal et conservateur. Cette recherche met en évidence le caractère genré de la transition à l’âge adulte et son impact spécifique sur les femmes libanaises. La question de la transition vers l’âge adulte y est abordée à travers les travaux d’Olivier Galland. Les expériences vécues par les femmes, quant à elles, sont approfondies au moyen de perspectives féministes. Les parents continuent d'exercer une influence sur les choix de vie et les orientations professionnelles de leurs enfants, même après leur départ du foyer, ce qui peut limiter leur autonomie et entraîner des tensions familiales. La méthodologie adoptée repose sur une approche qualitative. Des entretiens semi-dirigés ont été réalisés avec des travailleuses libanaises qui sont mariées et mères, ayant des enfants, afin de recueillir des données pour l'analyse. Les résultats de ces entretiens mettent de l’avant les attentes contradictoires des parents. Ceux-ci ont tendance à inciter leurs filles à adopter un mode de vie traditionnel et, à la fois, à soutenir leurs ambitions professionnelles. Le rôle clé qu’adoptent les mères des participantes dans la possibilité qu’ont les femmes libanaises de concilier travail, responsabilités familiales et foyer est également mis en évidence. Malgré l'opposition de la société traditionnelle, les femmes libanaises manifestent toujours une volonté de travailler et les conjoints témoignent d'un soutien envers leurs épouses. / This research focuses on gender inequalities faced by young married women in Lebanon during their transition to adulthood. The objective of this study is to understand the mechanisms that contribute to the imposition of professional limitations on these women, despite their level of education and their qualifications. The first aspect of the research explores family transformations, changes in the job market, and the position of women in Lebanon. While the country has made positive advancements in terms of gender equality and women's empowerment compared to other Arab countries, certain restrictions persist due to factors such as religion, regional conflicts, the economic system, and a legal structure based on a patriarchal and conservative system. This research highlights the gendered nature of the transition to adulthood and its specific impact on Lebanese women. It relies on the one hand, on the work of Olivier Galland to analyze the transition and, on the other hand, it integrates feminist perspectives to deepen the understanding of the experiences lived by these women. Parents continue to exert influence over their children's lifestyle choices and career paths, even after they have left home, which can limit their autonomy and lead to family tensions. The adopted methodology relies on a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with married Lebanese women who are also working and have children, in order to gather data for analysis. The results underscore the contradiction between parents' encouragement to adopt a traditional lifestyle and their support for married, working women. The pivotal role of the participants' mothers in enabling Lebanese women to balance work, family responsibilities, and the household is also highlighted. Despite societal opposition, Lebanese women continue to express a willingness to work, and modern spouses demonstrate support for their wives.

En s’inscrivant dans la perspective du féminisme intersectionnelle et en mobilisant des méthodes mixtes, cette recherche tente de mieux comprendre la violence domestique envers les femmes au Mexique, à la fois à travers une analyse du discours des féministes mexicaines et d’une analyse statistique multidimensionnelle de données d’enquête identifiant les facteurs institutionnels, économiques et socioculturels associés au risque de vivre de la violence domestique. Cette thèse se démarque des réflexions féministes traditionnelles faites au Mexique puisqu’elle approche les rapports de genre en lien avec d’autres systèmes d’oppression et de subordination, fondés notamment sur les rapports de classe et l’ethnicité. Ainsi, elle appréhende la violence faite aux femmes en lien avec le patriarcat, sans réduire ce dernier à quelques indicateurs sociodémographiques et comportementaux mesurés au niveau individuel, mais en tenant compte du contexte d’inégalité de genre au niveau régional. Ce faisant, la recherche tente de réconcilier les deux grandes perspectives théoriques qui expliquent la violence conjugale, soit les approches de la violence familiale (qui s’attardent à des facteurs au niveau microsocial) et les approches féministes (qui mettent l’accent sur la structure patriarcale, c’est-à-dire le contexte plus large des inégalités de genre). Les résultats des entretiens réalisés avec des féministes représentant les trois branches du féminisme mexicain (féminisme hégémonique, populaire et autochtone) ont révélé les fractures existantes à l’intérieur du mouvement féministe au Mexique (antagonisme entre l’institutionnalisation et l’autonomie du mouvement féministe). De façon générale, l’analyse des entretiens a montré que l’engagement des féministes envers la cause des femmes est en accord avec les «idéaux types» des trois branches du féminisme mexicain. Les féministes hégémoniques mettent surtout l’accent sur la structure patriarcale de la société mexicaine et sur les inégalités de genre lorsqu’il s’agit de trouver des causes à la violence faite aux femmes. Pour les féministes du secteur populaire, la violence faite aux femmes s’explique autant par les inégalités de genre, que par les effets du système économique capitaliste. Le discours des femmes autochtones semble, quant à lui, tenir davantage compte de l’articulation des rapports de genre, des rapports ethniques, ainsi que des rapports socio-économiques. Néanmoins, nous constatons que les féministes de la branche hégémonique et populaire semblent de plus en plus sensibles à l’entrecroisement de systèmes de domination et d’oppression. Par ailleurs, l’analyse multiniveau effectuée à partir des données de l’Enquête nationale portant sur la dynamique des relations dans les ménages (2006), a révélé plusieurs résultats importants qui méritent d’être soulignés. D’abord on constate que les différences de prévalence des violences entre les municipalités mexicaines sont en grande partie expliquées par leur composition sociale, c’est-à-dire par des caractéristiques des femmes et de leur couple (niveau micro), plutôt que par des différences entre le niveau des inégalités de genre dans les municipalités mexicaines mesurées par l’ISDH (Indice Sexospécifique du Développement Humain). Les résultats des analyses montrent que les femmes autochtones ont en général des taux de violences moins élevés que les femmes métisses (groupe majoritaire). Enfin, en ce qui a trait à la relation entre le contexte d’inégalité de genre et la violence conjugale, les résultats suggèrent que plus l’ISDH d’une municipalité est élevée, plus il y a de femmes qui subissent les formes de violences. Cela va à l’encontre des postulats habituels des théories féministes et suggèrent que les progrès récents de la situation de la femme en matière de santé, d’éducation et de revenu n’ont pas bouleversé les rapports de genre encore très patriarcales qui continuent à privilégier la suprématie des hommes (Casique, 2004). / By adopting the intersectional feminist approach and mobilizing mixed methods, this research seeks to better understand partner violence in Mexico, both through a discourse analysis of the Mexican feminist movement and a quantitative multidimensional level of analysis by identifying the institutional, economic and socio-cultural factors associated with the risk of experiencing domestic violence. This research differs from the traditional feminist reflections made in Mexico because it takes into consideration gender inequality in interaction with other systems of oppression and subordination, mainly based on social class and ethnicity. Thus, it captures partner violence in relation to patriarchy, without reducing it to sociodemographic and behavioral indicators measured at the individual level, but by taking into account the structural context of gender inequality at the regional level. By integrating individual and contextual factors, this research attempts to reconcile the two major theoretical perspectives that explain partner violence, which are the family violence approach (that linger to factors at the micro level) and feminist approaches (which focus on the patriarchal structure, in other terms the broader context of gender inequality). The results of the discursive analysis from the interviews with the feminists representing all three branches of the Mexican feminism (hegemonic, popular and indigenous feminism) revealed existing fractures within the feminist movement in Mexico (antagonism between institutionalization and autonomy of the feminist movement). In general, this analysis showed that the feminists’ gender struggle and their demands are consistent with the "ideal types" of the three branches of the Mexican feminism. Hegemonic feminism focuses mainly on the patriarchal structure of Mexican society and gender inequality when it comes to finding the causes of violence against women. For the popular feminism, violence against women is explained by both gender inequalities and the vulnerable economic situation. The discourse of indigenous women emphasizes the articulation of gender, ethnic and socio-economic inequalities. However, we found evidence that hegemonic and popular feminism seem increasingly sensitive to the intersection of systems of domination and oppression. In addition, multilevel analysis using data from the National Survey of Dynamics of Relationships within Households (2006) revealed several important findings that deserve to be highlighted. Firstly, we show that differences in the prevalence of partner violence among Mexican municipalities are largely explained by their social composition, that is to say, by the characteristics of women and their relationship (micro level), rather than differences between the level of gender inequality in the Mexican municipalities measured by the GDI (gender-Human Development Index). In addition, the results show that indigenous women generally have lower rates of violence that the rest of mestizas Mexican women (majority group). Finally, in regard to the relationship between the context of gender inequality and domestic violence, and contrary with what would be expected, violence is higher in municipalities with higher GDI. This result seems to contradict feminist assumptions. It would seem that despite recent progress in women’s situation in areas such as health, education and income in Mexico, it has not been able to transform the gender order.

The aim of the thesis is to understand why European countries show a very different picture of female employment (in their fertile ages) which is not the case for men of the same age. We shed light on the various positions of countries in this framework of earner-carer models, in analysing policy designs, policy outcomes and policy determinants. That is, respectively, family policy indicators, employment of mothers and childless women, gender role attitudes and their interacting effect with policies and employment outcomes. We have used a wide range of primary or secondary quantitative and qualitative data to carry out our comparative analysis, mixing approaches, techniques and methods, from micro-econometric models to macro-level harmonised indicators, supplemented with a case study.<p>The dissertation is divided in three parts, each focusing on one question:<p>(i)\ / Doctorat en sciences de gestion / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
