In this sense, give emphasis on cultural exchange between Paraguay and Brazil, creating a social network well established. However, it is not any cultural contact, aboard the groups formed by the common interest in a musical genre: Heavy Metal. To accomplish it used the methodology of ethnography, in which the fieldwork lasted about a year and a half, making me present in various spaces and events held involving the group studied. At first the research was to approach the group, analyzing their identity symbolism. In a second moment, bother to analyze the production and maintenance of international social network that is created for the sake of production and consumption of musical style. In this sense, Brazilians and Paraguayans, metal fans - better known as headbangers - come to understand the boundary beyond political and geographical concepts. This group makes different uses of the border and, in moments of identification with the music, may be considered a family, becoming brothers. / A presente dissertação é resultado de uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo entender as práticas entre países fronteiriços que vão além do contato econômico. Neste sentido, dou ênfase às trocas culturais entre o Paraguai e o Brasil, criando uma rede social bem estabelecida. Porém, não se trata de qualquer contato cultural, pois abordo os grupos formados pelo interesse em comum em um gênero musical: o Heavy Metal. Para realizá-la, utilizei a metodologia da etnografia. A pesquisa de campo durou cerca de um ano e meio, fazendo-me presente nos mais variados espaços e eventos realizados envolvendo o grupo estudado. Em um primeiro momento da pesquisa, houve a aproximação ao grupo, analisando seus simbolismos identitários. Em um segundo momento, preocupei-me em analisar a produção e manutenção da rede social internacional que se cria em prol da produção e consumo do estilo musical. Neste sentido, brasileiros e paraguaios, fãs de metal mais conhecidos como headbangers passam a entender a fronteira além das concepções políticas e geográficas. Este grupo faz diferentes usos da fronteira e, nos momentos de identificação com a música, pode se considerar uma família, tornando-se irmãos.

Depuis 1976, le groupe de heavy metal britannique Iron Maiden travaille à la production d’un discours musical et lyrique abordant des sujets existentiels et métaphysiques en s’inspirant de la littérature, du cinéma et de l’histoire. 80 millions d’albums vendus et près de 2000 concerts à travers le monde semblent confirmer l’engouement d’un public pour ce type d’écriture. Cette étude caractérise le discours de ce groupe aux moyens d’une double analyse [électronique et traditionnelle] des paroles. Elle s’intéresse tout particulièrement aux thèmes, aux leitmotive et aux intertextualités présentes dans les chansons pour tenter ensuite de mettre à jour et de mesurer les différents degrés d’influence du discours d’Iron Maiden sur la vie des membres d’une tribu de 4476 supporters internautes originaires de 70 pays. / Since 1976, the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden has been working at the production of a musical and lyrical discourse dealing with existential and metaphysical topics inspired by literature, cinema and history. Sales of 80 millions records as well as nearly 2,000 concerts world-wide seem to confirm the public’s keen interest in this kind of writing. This study defines the discourse of the band by means of a dual analysis [electronic and traditional] of the lyrics. It focuses on the themes, leitmotivs and intertextualities that can be found in the songs, and attempts to analyse and measure the different levels of influence of the discourse on the life of 4,476 fans from 70 countries encountered via the Internet.

A cultura de massa (midiática) tem sido tradicionalmente considerada pouco criativa, alienada e, portanto, menos relevante do que as formas artísticas clássicas e canônicas. Sua incapacidade de se relacionar com a sociedade de outro modo que não como produto disponível no mercado fariam dela mero sustento da lógica de consumo. Propomos no presente trabalho a observação desta forma de cultura a partir de uma outra perspectiva. Com base em teorias Pós-Coloniais, da Complexidade e do Letramento Crítico, mostramos que a alienação da cultura de massa não lhe é uma característica intrínseca, mas uma construção feita a partir de práticas sociais cotidianas. Sendo uma construção, a alienação pode ser desconstruída, e a cultura pode tornar-se crítica, política, socialmente interessada e interessante. Trabalhamos com esta hipótese analisando o heavy metal, tomado como manifestação cultural (de massa) tradicionalmente identificada com a rebeldia e a contestação cultural e social. Observamos diferentes estratégias de dissidência a que recorrem roqueiros e headbangers, constatando que rupturas mais profundas com o conformismo alienado emergem de sua participação crítica em sua cultura musical, na cultura de massa e na sociedade de consumo. A confirmação de tal constatação foi obtida pela análise (multimodal) de um caso, representado pela banda sueca Pain of Salvation. / Mass culture has been traditionally associated with lack of creativity and alienation, being considered less valuable and interesting than classic and canonic forms of Culture and Art. Its only role in society would be that of a commodity. It would be destined to serve consumption. The aim of our research is to offer a change in the perspective from which we see mass culture. Based on concepts and ideas coming from Postcolonial theories, Social Complexity and Critical Literacy, we can see alienation not as an intrinsic quality of mass culture, but as a construction that is socially produced. Therefore, we work on the hypothesis that, being a construction, alienation can be deconstructed, and culture can be made critical, political, socially interested and interesting. In order to confirm this, heavy metal music, traditionally identified with both cultural and social resistance and disobedience, was taken for analysis. We could, then, observe the different strategies of dissidence adopted by rockers and headbangers, finally concluding that deeper ruptures with alienated conformity emerge from their critical participation in the music culture, in mass culture, and in the consumer society. Final conclusions on this were made after the multimodal analysis of a case, represented by the Swedish band Pain of Salvation.

Through questionnaires answered by the institutions and through searches on their various websites, an image is developing that shows that subcultures are not always given room in the cultural heritage sphere. Even though the Gothenburg sound plays a big part within the metal world, and despite the fact that it has given Gothenburg international recognition within the metal community, it remains more or less invisible in Gothenburg’s institutionalized world, both as a subculture and as a cultural heritage. With this essay, we are trying to create a perspective where an eventual explanation for this absence can be given, and where we can raise and problematize these questions. We are trying to illustrate the dominance of the mainstream society compared to subcultures, but also the institutions influence in what qualifies as a cultural heritage. We want to gain an understanding if the Gothenburg sound can be seen as a cultural heritage and if the genre should be made more visible within the institutions. In the end though, the question remain whether it would benefit the subculture to be made visible in the mainstream arena as they through such an uplifting also risk to lose their subcultural identity.

This study centers on the postulation that the genre s sound combined with its grotesque and baroque iconography is able to produce a contemporary world culture and that it requires continuous research to find its most precise description. The phenomenon is analyzed principally in light of the Bakthinian theory of carnivalization, which has received the addition of the methodological path traced by means of exploratory studies, as well as the author s direct in situ participation in festivals such as Rock in Rio, Wacken Open Air and Monsters of Rock. Both documental and bibliographic researches centered on the reading of images. The corpus includes images from photographs, newspapers, websites, blogs, paintings, t-shirts, posters, comic books, books, encyclopedias, movies, documentaries, animation and LP, CD, DVD, Blu-ray and VHS covers, as well as dress, makeup and hairstyle in short, the complete heavy metal imaginarium. The focus is of a diachronic-synchronic nature and features in the history of the heavy metal genre. The problematization involves the following question: What are the main pictorial and symbolic elements produced by the music industry that provoke such intense, notoriously impassioned devotion in heavy metal dilettantes and how do they achieve their purpose with such efficacy? It is further postulated that the intense sound of heavy metal emanates an interior sensation of force and superhuman power in its fans that transforms into a type of unlimited love and exacerbated fidelity (i.e. an almost absolute dependency), which is commensurate with a group, collective or social demand for protection. Results allow for the conclusion that by being conscious of this idiosyncrasy, illustrators, designers and advertisers have striven to perpetuate an iconographic and symbolic universe equally intense, robust and intimidating in which Bakhtin s key carnivalizing motifs can be found (Death, masquerade, good/evil dualism, hyperbolism, the grotesque, Hell, the laugh, hybridization, metamorphosis, the banquet, insanity and antithesis) / Há 45 anos, aproximadamente, o heavy metal vem atraindo multidões de seguidores fiéis em todo o mundo, e esse é também um fenômeno contínuo no Brasil. O estudo empreendido neste trabalho assenta-se no pressuposto de que o som do heavy metal aliado à sua iconografia grotesca e barroquizante é capaz de produzir uma cultura contemporânea de abrangência mundial, cuja configuração demanda contínua pesquisa para se encontrarem elementos capazes de fornecer sua mais nítida descrição. O conceito bakhtiniano de carnavalização é utilizado como principal fundamento do quadro teórico-metodológico adotado, que também é incrementado por meio de estudos exploratórios, além de observação direta concretizada com a participação in situ do autor em festivais como o Rock in Rio, Wacken Open Air e Monsters of Rock. As partes documental e bibliográfica concretizam-se por meio da leitura de imagens. O corpus é constituído por imagens de fotografias, jornais, sites, blogs, pinturas, estampas (camisetas), pôsteres, histórias em quadrinhos, livros, enciclopédias, revistas, filmes, documentários, desenhos animados, ilustrações de capas de LPs, CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays e VHSs bem como na indumentária e no visual continuamente introduzido no imaginário do heavy metal. Opta-se por um recorte diacrônico-sincrônico pertinente à história do gênero heavy metal. A problematização tem foco na seguinte pergunta: Quais são os principais elementos transformados em imagem e símbolo pela indústria videofonográfica e de que maneira conseguem cumprir, com eficácia, o propósito de acender tamanha devoção, notoriamente apaixonada, nos diletantes do heavy metal? Um segundo pressuposto se apresenta, o de que a intensidade sonora do heavy metal faz emanar uma sensação interior de força e poder supra-humanos em seus apreciadores que se transforma em uma espécie de amor ilimitado e exacerbada fidelidade dependência quase absoluta , podendo este sentimento ainda recrudescer em função de envolver uma procura por proteção grupal, coletiva ou social. Os resultados permitem afirmar que conscientes dessa idiossincrasia metálica, ilustradores e profissionais em design e propaganda esforçam-se em perpetuar o universo iconográfico e simbólico do heavy metal igualmente intenso, robusto e intimidador , no qual se nota a presença dos principais motivos carnavalizantes de Bakhtin (a Morte, a mascaragem, o dualismo Bem e Mal, hiperbolismo, o grotesco, o Inferno, o riso, hibridização, metamorfose, o banquete, a loucura, o avesso)

Countries seek to control exposure to hazardous substances and environments by the enactment of legislation. In the past thirty years, two major different approaches to occupational health and safety legislation have been devleoped by countries around the world. The performance-based legislative approach has been linked with the emergence of occupational health and safety management systems but no research has previously been done to determine whether or not the legislative approach taken by government influences the introduction or form of occupational health and safety management systems used by organisations. Similarly, although the reasons why Australia and other countries have moved to performance-based legislation have been explained in terms of social, political and economic factors that influenced the change, little research has been done on the effectiveness of this approach compared with the prescriptive approach of countries such as Korea. -I- The overall aim of this research is to develop a conprehensive understanding of the management of expusre to heavy metals in selected industries in Korea and Australia. The specific objectives of the study are to determine: The effectiveness of heavy metal exposure management in the fluorescent lamp manufacturing industry in Korea, and an Oral Health Service, and lead-risk workplaces in Queensland, Australia; The management of the legislative arrangements for health surveillance in Korea and Queensland, Australia; The characteristics of the occupational health and safety management systems that are in use in the heavy metal industries in Korea in Australia; and The effectiveness of prescriptive and performance based legislative systems in protecting the health and safety of workers in heavy metal based industries. Secondary analysis of biological monitoring data from 6 fluorescent lamp manufacturing companies (8 workplaces) in Korea was used to examine the extent of mercury exposure and the effectiveness of the health surveillance system in that country. A survey of dental workers in an oral health service in Queensland provided data on the extent of mercury exposure to the workforce and workers' attitudes to the management of occupational risks. The efficiency of the lead health surveillance in Queensland was examined by way of a questionnaire survey of lead designated doctors in the state. A survey of registered lead-risk companies and the oral health servies in Queensland, and 5 of the fluorescent lamp manufacturing companies in Korea provided data on the occupational health and safety management systems in place in these organisations. The health surveillance system for mercury exposed workers in Korea was found to have reduced the incidence of workers with biological levels of mercury above the Baseline Level from 14% in 1994 to 7% in 1999. Bilogical testing of dental workers in Queensland discovered no workers with biological levels of mercury approaching the Baseline Level and air monitoring failed to locate any areas where workers were likely to be exposed to levels approaching the Workplace Exposure Standard. The staff of the Oral Health Service were generally aware of the occupational health and safety management systems in place but only 43% felt that mercury management in the workplace effectively prevented exposure. The lead surveillance system in Queensland was found to be inadequately managed with approximately 37% of registered doctors no longer practicing in the field and their being no way for the government to collect reliable data on the extent of lead exposure in workplaces. The occupational health and safety management systems in the companies surveyed in Queensland and Korea were found to be influenced by the legislative arrangements in place in each of the locations. The Korean systems were more geared to meeting the regulatory requirements whereas the Queensland systems were geared more towards a risk management approach. However substantial differences were also noted depending on the size of the organisation in each case. Legislative arrangements in Korea and Queensland were found to provide reasonable protection from heavy metal exposure to workers however improvements in both systems are needed. The legislation was also found to influence the occupational health and safety management systems in place with performance-based legislation producing systems having a wide risk management focus while a narrower regulatory based focus was noted in Korea where more prescriptive legislation is in force. A confounding factor in the nature of the occupational health and safety management system in place is the size of the organisation and particular attention needs to be paid to this when legislative approaches are considered.

This thesis aims to analyze how a site developed, nurtured and consumed by heavy metal fans can have an empowering character. For this, we analyze the Whiplash.net, the most trusted specializing in heavy metal in Portuguese. Theoretically we left assertions of authors like Henri Jenkins, John Fiske, Lawrance Grossberg and Michel de Certeau to show how the action of fans can reverse the logic of consumption prescribed by cultural industries and create new meanings from their everyday life and their interests. Such action is possible due to their affective investment in relation to its object of worship, process which is here understood as active reception process, not only because relativize cultural and media hierarchies, but also generates socialization and conflicts within the lifestyle. / A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar como um site desenvolvido, alimentado e consumido por fãs de heavy metal pode ter um caráter empoderador. Para tanto, analisamos o Whiplash.net., o maior site especializado em heavy metal de língua portuguesa. Teoricamente partimos de assertivas de autores como Henry Jenkins, John Fiske, Lawrance Grossberg e Michel de Certeau para evidenciar como a ação dos fãs pode inverter lógicas de consumo prescritas pelas indústrias culturais e criar novos significados a partir do seu cotidiano e de seus interesses. Tal ação é possível graças ao seu investimento afetivo em relação a seu objeto de culto, processo que é entendido como recepção eminentemente ativa, não só porque relativiza hierarquias culturais e midiáticas, mas também gera socialização e conflitos no seio do estilo de vida.

Aqui iremos dar destaque ao grupo público de heavy metal em Juiz de Fora/MG que viveu sua juventude nas décadas de 1980 e 1990. Inicialmente busca-se analisar o surgimento de uma cultura juvenil e o desenvolvimento de subculturas dando destaque para o surgimento do rock n’ roll através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Foi realizada uma análise dos movimentos de contracultura relacionados ao estilo musical e a sua segmentação a partir da década de 1970 que irá dar origem ao estilo musical heavy metal. Posteriormente foi realizado um panorama geral do desenvolvimento do estilo, procurando analisar as questões que permeiam o grupo de fãs do mesmo, denominados headbangers, buscando averiguar como se deu o desenvolvimento do estilo musical no Brasil e como foi o desenvolvimento da cena. Procuramos ainda situar às relações existentes entre a moda, o comportamento e a música de estilo heavy metal, e a partir disso, pesquisar a interlocução presente entre a música e o estilo de vida desses jovens. Por fim, foram realizadas entrevistas com pessoas público de heavy metal que desde as décadas de 1980 e 1990 a fim de analisar como se deu o desenvolvimento do mesmo em Juiz de Fora/MG, pesquisando como tiveram acesso ao estilo, quais foram as bandas precursoras, onde e como eram os lugares frequentados pelos headbangers, como ocorria a divulgação do heavy metal, como os headbangers se relacionavam com o estilo musical na cidade em termos de comportamento, moda e estilo de vida e sobre o legado da cena metal em Juiz de Fora/MG. / This dissertation seeks a reflection on youth stylistic preferences of a specific group of young people, the rock public n 'roll. Here we will highlight the public group of heavy metal in Juiz de Fora/MG who lived his youth in the 1980s and 1990s initially seeks to analyze the emergence of youth culture and the development of subcultures highlighting for the emergence of rock n 'roll through a literature search. an analysis of the counterculture movements related to musical style and its segmentation from 1970 that will give rise to heavy metal musical style was held. It was later performed an overview of the development of style, trying to analyze the issues that permeate the group of fans even called headbangers, seeking to find out how was the development of the musical style in Brazil, as was the development of the scene. We also seek to situate the relationship between fashion, behavior and heavy metal style of music, and from that, search the dialogue between this music and the lifestyle of young people. Finally, interviews were conducted with public people of heavy metal from the 1980s and 1990s in order to analyze how was its development in Juiz de Fora/MG, researching how to have access to the style, which were the forerunners bands where and how were the places frequented by headbangers, as was the release of heavy metal, such as headbangers were related to the musical style in the city in terms of behavior, fashion and lifestyle and the legacy of the metal scene in Judge Fora/MG.
