O (des)encanto do casamento intercultural: brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos estrangeiros / The (dis)enchantment of intercultural marriage: Brazilian women married to foreign Muslims

Pasqualin, Flavia Andréa 27 April 2018 (has links)
Esta pesquisa, fundamentada na Psicologia Intercultural e na Antropologia Social, se propôs a compreender quais são as vivências, relacionadas aos aspectos étnicos e religiosos, existentes no casamento entre uma brasileira (muçulmana ou não) e um muçulmano estrangeiro. Para tal foi adotado o método etnográfico, presencial e virtual, tendo como campo empírico presencial uma comunidade turca muçulmana localizada na cidade de São Paulo e uma comunidade muçulmana localizada na cidade de Barretos, interior de São Paulo. Como campo empírico virtual a pesquisa contou com blogs pessoais, comunidades no Facebook e vídeos amadores produzidos por brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos turcos e árabes, uma vez que se entende o espaço cibernético como uma dimensão constitutiva de uma sociedade, onde os sujeitos se constroem e atuam. Os colaboradores desta pesquisa foram brasileiras casadas com muçulmanos turcos ou árabes, tanto do ambiente presencial quanto virtual e membros pertencentes as comunidades especificadas. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, a pesquisa contou com a observação participante da pesquisadora nas comunidades muçulmanas já referidas e em casas de casais interculturais (brasileira casada com muçulmano árabe ou turco) e casais turcos, com as observações feitas em vídeos amadores (disponibilizados no YouTube) produzidos por algumas interlocutoras como também os produzidos por outras brasileiras que se relacionavam ou haviam se casado com um muçulmano turco ou árabe, em notícias jornalísticas ou institucionais viabilizadas na rede, assim como em material televisivo: filmes e novelas. Os registros feitos em caderno de campo também foram utilizados, assim como se utilizou entrevistas abertas realizadas presencialmente e/ou via Skype, WhatsApp ou e-mail. Os dados coletados estão inseridos e analisados por eixos temáticos e encontram-se distribuídos ao longo do texto, simultaneamente à teoria. Com efeito, concluiu-se que os encantos estiveram presentes na aprendizagem de uma nova cultura; músicas, sabores, paisagens e o relacionar-se com um homem que ainda guarda o romantismo perdido de muitos brasileiros. Os desencantos se referiram a novos hábitos alimentares, a aceitação da nova religião (islâmica) pela família brasileira e a vivência em terras em que os papéis de gênero são bem delineados. Contudo, também se encontrou nessa pesquisa, a problemática dos relacionamentos realizados de forma integral no mundo virtual, em que muitas brasileiras são utilizadas como trampolim para esses homens deixarem a crise financeira de seus países, o que acaba por resultar em casamentos interculturais com enfrentamento de altos níveis de dificuldades, incluindo brasileiras vítimas de vários tipos de abusos. / This research, grounded on Intercultural Psychology and Social Anthropology, aimed to understand the experiences related to the ethnic and religious aspects of the marriage between a Brazilian woman (Muslim or not) and a foreign Muslim man. The study used the ethnographic method, using virtual and face-to-face methods to collect empirical data, having a Turkish Muslim community located in the city of São Paulo and a Muslim community located in the city of Barretos, in the interior of São Paulo state, for the face-to-face interactions. In order to collect the virtual empirical data, the researcher accessed personal blogs, Facebook communities and amateur videos produced by Brazilian women married to Turkish and Arab Muslim men, since the cyber space is understood as a constitutive dimension of a society, where the subjects build themselves and act. The collaborators of this research were Brazilian women married to Turkish or Arab Muslims, both from the face-to-face and virtual environments, and members belonging to the specified communities. Research included participant observation of the researcher in the Muslim communities already mentioned and in houses of intercultural and Turkish couples as data collection instrument. Intercultural couples were Brazilian women married to Arab or Turkish Muslim men. Amateur videos produced by some interlocutors, available in YouTube, were used for observation. Videos produced by other Brazilian women who had relationship or had married Turkish or Arab Muslim men, reports or institutional news available on the internet and television material such as movies and soup operas were also sources for participant observation. Other materials used were registers made in the field notebook and open face-to-face, Skype, WhatsApp or e-mail interviews. Collected data were inserted and analyzed by thematic axes, distributed simultaneously with the theoretical concepts throughout the text. It was concluded that charms were present in learning a new culture; music, flavors, landscapes and the relationship with a man who still keeps the lost romanticism of many Brazilians. However, the disenchantment refers to new eating habits, the acceptance of the new (Islamic) religion by the Brazilian family and the experience in lands where the gender roles are well delineated. However, the research also found the issue of relationships fully developed in the virtual world, in which many Brazilian women are used as a springboard for these men to leave the financial crisis of their countries. This ultimately results in intercultural marriages that face several difficulties, including Brazilian women being victim of various types of abuse.

Matters of Recognition in Contemporary German Literature

Lechner, Judith 23 February 2016 (has links)
This dissertation deals with current political immigration debates, the conversations about the philosophical concept of recognition, and intercultural encounters in contemporary German literature. By reading contemporary literature in connection with philosophical, psychological, and theoretical works, new problem areas of the liberal promise of recognition become visible. Tied to assumptions of cultural essentialism, language use, and prejudice, one of the main findings of this work is how the recognition process is closely tied to narrative. Particularly within developmental psychology it is often argued that we learn and come to terms with ourselves through narrative. The chosen literary encounters written by Alev Tekinay, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Maxim Biller, Rafael Seligmann, and Finn-Ole Heinrich magnify this particular human experience on an aesthetic level and dismantle “mechanisms of recognition,” particularly three aspects illustrating the recognition process: the role of the narrator and his or her description of the characters, the construction of family bonds within the texts, and the linguistic and cultural practice of naming with all of its connotations. Within the chosen texts there is no unified depiction of the recognition process, but rather the texts elucidate a multidimensionality of this concept, tying it closely to the political, social, and aesthetic sphere. In this context the analysis brings to light that the notion of “authenticity” crucially informs recognition as well as the circumstances of a power imbalance that dominates the process. My analysis shows that contrary to popular assumptions in philosophical and political debates, the concept of recognition turns out to be rather limiting instead of liberating.

Do intercultural ao desenvolvimento da Competência Intercultural na formação de professores de Português Língua Estrangeira / Intercultural concepts on education teaching: the development of the Intercultural Competence on Portuguese Foreign Language teaching

Rotta, Alessandra Montera 04 November 2016 (has links)
A presente tese de doutorado insere-se na formação de professores para o ensino do português do Brasil para estrangeiros em contexto de imersão, uma preocupação cada vez mais séria e atual no contexto das universidades brasileiras. Beneficiados por alguns programas governamentais, tais como o Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação (PEC-G) e o Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Pós-Graduação (PEC- PG), entre outros, inúmeros estudantes estrangeiros chegam ao país, em sua grande maioria, sem o conhecimento prévio do português do Brasil. Além disso, o Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros (CELPE-BRAS) passou a ser exigido pelas universidades brasileiras aos estrangeiros que desejam ingressar em cursos de graduação e em programas de pós-graduação. A partir dessa constatação, esta pesquisa propõe o desenvolvimento da Competência Intercultural (CI) durante a formação inicial de professores. Segundo Byram (1997), devemos preparar os futuros professores para adquirir uma série de conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes, elementos constituintes da CI, a fim de que eles aprendam a agir e reagir em um contexto intercultural. O ensino e aprendizagem de PLE baseados nessa proposta estimulam o diálogo intercultural, permitem que o contato entre as diferentes culturas resulte em uma abertura de espírito, em uma maior compreensão das representações sociais e dos estereótipos culturais, das crenças e comportamentos em diferentes contextos culturais. A possibilidade de se envolver na cultura do outro, ter empatia por ela e assumir outras perspectivas pode ajudar o futuro professor a expandir sua visão de mundo. A partir da experiência da diversidade e da alteridade, ele reflete sobre sua própria cultura e sobre os valores dela recebidos e, passa a incluir construções relevantes de outras visões de mundo culturais. A principal contribuição desta tese reside na apresentação de uma metodologia que contempla o desenvolvimento da CI para formar não apenas professores de PLE, mas cidadãos mais conscientes de seu papel no mundo plural de hoje. / This doctoral thesis is related to teacher training for teaching Brazilian Portuguese to foreigners in a context of immersion, which is a growing preoccupation in Brazilian Universities. Innumerable foreigners students, benefit from governmental programs such as Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação (PEC-G) and Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Pós-Graduação (PEC-PG) among others, the majority of whom arrive in the country without any previous knowledge of Brazilian Portuguese. Furthermore, the Certificate of Proficiency in the Portuguese Language for Foreigners (CELPE-BRAS) has become a requirement by Brazilian Universities, for foreign students who wish to undertake undergraduate and graduate programs. Based on this finding, this research proposes the development of the Intercultural Competence over the initial teacher training. According to Byram (1997), we must prepare future teachers to acquire a variety of knowledge, skills and attitudes, constituent elements of the Intercultural Competence, in order to enable them to act and react in an intercultural context. The teaching and learning of Portuguese as a foreign language based on this proposal, stimulates intercultural dialogue, allows for the contact between different cultures to result in broadmindedness and a greater understanding of social representations and cultural stereotypes /beliefs and behaviors in different cultural contexts. The possibility of getting involved in another culture, with emphasis on other perspectives, can help future teachers to expand their worldview. From the experience of diversity and otherness, the teacher can reflect on his own culture and the values therein, and that includes building on other cultural worldviews. The main contribution of this thesis is the presentation of a methodology that includes the development of the Intercultural Competence in order to form not only teachers of Portuguese as a foreign language, but citizens more aware of their role in today\'s pluralistic world.

A conjugalidade intercultural de brasileiras: uma análise sistêmica de posts em blogs

Louback, Carolina Tavares da Silva 26 September 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-28T20:38:31Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Carolina Tavares da Silva Louback.pdf: 906735 bytes, checksum: 7307dc7f3315b575d0c50629789ed016 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-09-26 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / The facility with which people move and communicate in the modern world has contributed to the growing number of intercultural marriages. Based on the systemic comprehension of conjugality and family, this research aimed to contribute to the understanding of the processes involved in the formation of intercultural couples and families. For this purpose, a documental research was carried out having as its analysis material the contents of posts from 10 blogs by Brazilian women who are married to foreigners and live outside Brazil. Two thematic axes have been adopted, a priori the immigration and the relation with the foreign culture and the intercultural conjugal and family relationship. The material collected was submitted to a categorial qualitative analysis, using analogy as a criterion, and to an interpretation of the contents; the similarities and specificities of the material collected were later analyzed. Our analysis of the accounts posted has allowed us to conclude that the process of cultural adaptation experienced by the immigrants was successful. They counted on the support received by their husband or wife, their families, and the immigrant s own personal resources. The daily contact with their own culture is made possible by blogs, of the virtual diary type, as well as through the use of the Portuguese language, which act as vehicles for the maintenance of the affective bonds with their original families and friends. The intercultural couples who have been studied work hard to develop a new way which encompasses both cultures. Thus, they realize the wedding ceremony in both countries; they value each other s cuisine; they transmit their respective mother-tongues to their children; and they join the cultural celebrating rites of both cultures. The results obtained are relevant to psychotherapists who work with intercultural couples and families, as well as to professionals interested in the development of educational actions and actions which promote the health of the entire social network of those who experience this process / A facilidade de locomoção e de comunicação crescente no mundo atual tem contribuído para o aumento do número de casamentos interculturais. Alicerçada em uma compreensão sistêmica da conjugalidade e da família, o objetivo desta dissertação foi contribuir para o entendimento dos processos implicados na formação de casais e famílias interculturais. Para tanto foi realizada uma pesquisa documental utilizando-se como material de análise o conteúdo dos posts de 10 blogs de brasileiras casadas com estrangeiros e domiciliadas fora do Brasil. Foram adotados dois eixos temáticos, a priori a migração e a relação com a cultura estrangeira, e o relacionamento conjugal e familiar intercultural. O material colhido foi submetido à análise qualitativa categorial, segundo o critério de analogia, procedendo-se também à interpretação do conteúdo; posteriormente foram tratadas as semelhanças e especificidades do material categorizado. Nossa análise dos relatos postados permitiu concluir que o processo de adaptação cultural vivenciado pelas imigrantes foi bem sucedido, tendo contado com o apoio do cônjuge, das famílias de origem e de recursos pessoais da própria imigrante. O contato diário com a própria cultura é viabilizado por meio dos blogs, do tipo diário virtual, e pelo emprego da língua portuguesa, que atuam como veículos para a manutenção dos laços afetivos com a família de origem e os amigos. Os casais interculturais estudados empenham-se em desenvolver um novo caminho que englobe ambas as culturas, por meio da realização da cerimônia de casamento nos dois países, da valorização da culinária de ambas as culturas, da transmissão das duas línguas maternas aos filhos, bem como da junção dos rituais comemorativos das duas culturas. Os resultados obtidos são relevantes para os psicoterapeutas que trabalham com casais e famílias interculturais, bem como para todos os profissionais interessados no desenvolvimento de ações educativas e de promoção de saúde de toda a rede social daqueles que vivenciam este processo

Intercultural communication: a multicultural perspective

Hall, Douglas Alan, University of Western Sydney, College of Arts, Education and Social Sciences, School of Communication, Design and Media January 2005 (has links)
Intercultural communication theory and research have largely been based on the assumption that dealing with cultural differences is the key element in intercultural encounters. This is applied particularly to encounters between people from different societies, either where a participant is visiting another country, or where that participant has recently migrated. Encounters between people who, though culturally different, live permanently together in the same society however, are not necessarily the same as encounters between people from different societies. In the light of this, intercultural communication theory should be reviewed and developed to better conceptualise the nature of intercultural interaction as it occurs within the same (multicultural) society. Such a review requires a framing of intercultural communication episodes within a broader social perspective, a more thorough investigation of the relationship of homogeneity and heterogeneity as it affects intercultural interaction and a greater focus how communication processes help to create culture as well as how they are influenced by culture. An organising model for the multicultural perspective is therefore proposed based on three key elements. First it incorporates a system approach that recognises influences on communication, the interactive process and the outcomes of that process. Second, it incorporates a three-tiered approach that recognises the role played by structural processes in establishing the character of the society, the general patterns of interaction that emerge from these structural processes and the individual application of these processes in communicative episodes. Third, it incorporates a recognition of the interplay of centripetal and centrifugal forces at each of these levels and the range of intercultural possibilities that this raises. The organising model is then used to analyse intercultural interactions across four focuses: meaning, social relations, identity and behaviour / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
