Deste modo, a questão de pesquisa que propomos é compreender qual o papel do dinheiro na conjugalidade, ou seja, identificar como os indivíduos realizam suas práticas econômicas diárias, e se suas ações intersecionam racionalidades e emoções. Para a materialização dessa pesquisa, utilizamos como aporte teórico a sociologia econômica. Já para obtenção dos dados utilizamos uma metodologia qualitativa, composta por entrevista com uma terapeuta de casais, a aplicação de questionários com pessoas casadas ou em união estável, e por fim a realização de um grupo focal com cinco mulheres, buscando assim compreender as práticas que envolvem o orçamento doméstico, bem como o entrelaçamento entre dinheiros, emoções e cálculos. / This dissertation aims to understand how the intersection of money and love occurs in the context of intimacy, seeking to observe the possible consequences in the organization of the domestic budget, the division of household tasks, and power negotiations in relationships. In this way, the research proposes to understand the role of money in conjugality, that means, to identify how individuals perform their daily economic practices, and whether their actions intersect rationalities and emotions. For the materialization of this research, we use as theoretical contribution the economic sociology. Our data are results of a qualitative methodology, consisting of an interview with a therapist, the application of questionnaires with married persons or in a stable union, and finally a focus group with five women, seeking to understand the practices that involve the domestic budget, as well as the interweaving between money, emotions and calculations.

As relações de emprego na era da internet: violação à intimidade do empregado x poder diretivo do empregador / Labor relations on internet times: employee´s privacy right versus employer prerogative

Maria Lúcia Avelar Ferreira Paulino 30 July 2008 (has links)
Este trabalho aborda os impactos da revolução tecnológica, sobretudo os causados pela rede mundial de computadores (mais precisamente a internet) que trouxeram alterações em antigos padrões, em especial no âmbito das relações de emprego. Nesse cenário, analisa-se não só a evolução histórica do direito do trabalho e da internet, mas também as fontes, as garantias geradoras da controvérsia (o poder diretivo e de propriedade X o direito à privacidade, intimidade e a inviolabilidade de correspondência), as ferramentas utilizadas, as formas e limites do monitoramento e por fim sua repercussão no âmbito juslaboral no Brasil e no mundo, com o escopo de apresentar medidas preventivas, pacificadoras e que harmonizem as garantias sociais outrora conquistadas. Trata-se, sem dúvida, de assunto polêmico, controvertido, ainda tratado de forma superficial pela doutrina, pouco enfrentado, da mesma forma, pelos Tribunais, ressalvando a relevância e o próprio caráter de novidade exigidos em pesquisas de pós-graduação como a presente. / This work approaches the impacts of the technological revolution, mainly the impacts caused by the worldwide computers network (here, the internet) that brought alterations in old patterns, especially in the employee-employer relationship. In this scenario, this work analyzes the historic evolution of the labor law and the internet, the sources and some principles which creates controversy (such as the employer\'s directive power and property right versus the rights to privacy, intimacy, and the non-violation of mail), the tools, the forms and limits of the control and, finally, its repercussion in the labor law in Brazil and in the world with the scope to present certain preventive and conciliatory procedures, that harmonize those social principles achieved a long time ago. This subject is certainly controversial and is still treated in a superficial way by the law thinkers, as well as, by the Courts. Thus, this work highlights the relevance and the innovative character required in a graduation research.

Urbanité et sentiment de nature : ethnographies comparées de la randonnée pédestre Corse – Chapada Diamantina (Brésil) / Urbanity and feeling of nature : comparative ethnography of hiking : Corsica (France) – Chapada Diamantina (Brazil)

Bragard, Romain 20 October 2009 (has links)
Cette recherche s’articule autour d’une hypothèse structurante : le sentiment de nature qui motive les randonneurs est un sentiment urbain. Aimer la nature, rechercher un contact physique avec elle, dépenser énergie et argent pour la parcourir et éprouver des sentiments extra-ordinaires, sont des actes qui s’inscrivent dans une trame culturelle moderne. Les excursionnistes du GR20 (Corse) et de la Chapada Diamantina (Bahia, Brésil) sont héritiers d’une histoire de l’idée de nature, d’une histoire de l’individu et d’une histoire du temps libre. Ils sont mus par un désir de nature, qui s’élabore dans le quotidien urbain, et dont les conditions pratiques d’émergence sont comparables. Mais la forme que prend le « rituel excursif » dans chacune des deux localités varie en fonction de structures sociales et de « mythes nationaux » distincts. On observe ainsi que les randonneurs français vivent avec force le « mythe de l’individu » (Miguel Benasayag), égalitariste et autonomiste, et que les randonneurs brésiliens performent une scène sociale hiérarchisée, qui les situe entre le guide qui les sert et la nature divinisée qui les dépasse. Dans les deux cas, une question politique peut être posée : le sentiment de nature n’a-t-il pas pour fonction impensée de masquer et de légitimer une « démocratie sélective » (Jessé Souza), qui s’articule à une dépolitisation du rapport à la nature- matière première ? / This research is articulated around a founding hypothesis: the feeling of nature that motivates the hikers is an urban feeling. Loving the nature, searching for a physical contact with it, spending energy and money to go through it and experience extraordinary feelings are all elements of the modern cultural weft. Tourists at the GR20 (Corsica) and at the Chapada Diamantina (Bahia, Brazil) inherited from the history of the idea of nature, from the history of the individual and from the history of free time in western civilization. They are moved by the desire of nature, which is worked out in the urban routine, and which emergence conditions are similar in both countries. However, the features of the « hiking ritual » in each of these places change according to their social structures and their « national myths ». In one hand, we can see how French tourists in Corsica experience and act the « myth of the individual » (Miguel Benasayag), fulfilled by equality and autonomy values. On the other hand, Brazilian tourists perform a hierarchical social scene, which places them between the guide who serves them and the natural divinity that overwhelms them. In both cases, a political question can be asked: does the feeling of nature hide and legitimate a « selective democracy » (Jessé Souza) that is connected to a depoliticization of nature as raw material ?

Tillsammans men var för sig : Om särboenderelationer mellan äldre kvinnor och män i Sverige / Together but still apart : Elderly women and men Living Apart Together in Sweden

Ghazanfareeon Karlsson, Sofie January 2006 (has links)
Contemporary family life and intimate relationships today are characterised by increasing heterogeneity. In the growing body of research on this differentiation, the role of the elderly people has largely been ignored. But to an increasing extent the "young old" (65-74 years of age), in particular, are active participants in the process of the differentiation of intimate relationships. One of the least researched contributions of the elderly to the restructuring of contemporary intimate relationships is the establishment of lastint intimate relationships that do not include a mutual home, i.e. an alternative to marriage or other forms of cohabition. This type of relationship is referred to as Living Apart Together (henceforth LAT-relationships. In Swedish: särboende). The aim of this thesis is to examine LAT-relationships among elderly heterosexual individuals in Sweden, focusing in particular on the influence of this type of relationship on commitments, intimacy and autonomy. A major dilemma is the question of who should provide the care and service that ageing often demands. A pluralistic methodological approach has been adopted in the four differnt papers in this thesis, whick includes the use of a qualitative pilot study, a broad quantitative questionnaire study, a qualitative interview study and finally a qualitative study with a lifestory perspective.

Customer Intimacy in Mobile Retail / Customer Intimacy in Mobile Retail

Míček, Martin January 2009 (has links)
The master thesis deals with the topic of customer intimacy in mobile telecommunications and describes how the concept of a value-based strategic approach called "customer intimacy" can be applied in telecommunications industry, illustrated on an example of a mobile operator customer relationship lifecycle model. The goal of the thesis is to evaluate mobile telecommunications industry potential for application of the value discipline of customer intimacy and illustrate a high-level framework of Customer Lifecycle Management model as the first transformational step towards customer-intimate organizational design. The thesis sets main hypothesis on the assumption that adoption of the strategy and principles of customer intimacy enable a mobile operator to capture ownership of positive customer experience and secure a sustainable competitive advantage, thereby presenting a powerful counter-measure against the zero-growth industry outlook. As a sub-hypothesis the author postulates the statement that CLM infuses highly-effective methods to capture additional customer value and positively affect mobile operators' profitability. The theoretical part defines characteristics and components of customer value in business relationships and describes truths featuring the new world of competition. This new paradigm of competition leads to the definition of rules for delivering superior value in the following subchapter. Consequently, three value-based strategic approaches towards market leadership (denoted as "value disciplines") are identified and characterized. The second part presents the goals and key principles of the value discipline of customer intimacy and adverts to distinctions in theory and business practice. The author identifies forces driving strategic initiatives focusing on customer value perception and expectations. In this part the opportunities for adoption of customer intimacy in consumer telecommunications industry are also assesses. The penultimate subchapter describes concept of customer experience cycle that will be leveraged in the practical part of the thesis. The last subchapter then examines the importance of service identity for telecoms' successful adoption of the discipline of customer intimacy. The third part is analytical and provides industry research of European telecommunications market. The individual subchapters describe trends in development of fundamental performance indicators. In the fourth, practical part, the author presents the topic of customer lifecycle management. It describes what basic set of expectation customers have towards the relationship with a mobile operator. Then, a conceptual framework of customer lifecycle model is composed and analyzed. The penultimate subchapter pinpoints measures of value based customer profitability, interprets their applicability for decision-making on market investments, and indicates their interlock to value for shareholders. In the last subchapter, a set of recommendations is provided to mobile operators considering infusion of customer intimate principles into their organization. With respect to the practical part and main hypothesis, the author regards the goal of the thesis as fully achieved and the sub-hypothesis of the practical part as confirmed as well. The author used the following methods of research: general research of corporate strategy, marketing and CRM literature, interviews with telecommunications professionals, analysis of corporate financial filings, collection and reading of market research papers and consulting reports, study of statistical data.

Attachment Styles in a Sample from a Correctional Drug Treatment Facility

Shivpuri, Michelle Yvonne 12 1900 (has links)
Substance abuse and dependence causes many problems in our society. Attachment style may be useful in the etiology of this problem. Using archival data, this study hypothesizes men in a court-ordered facility will be more likely to have an insecure attachment style. The participants were 73 males ages 18-49. The Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) was used to measure adult romantic attachment style. Through cluster analysis and conversion of the subscales of the AAS, four attachment styles were measured. Men were more likely to have an insecure attachment style especially a Fearful style. The study concludes with limitations of the results and a discussion about possible interventions based on attachment style.

A concretização da privacidade do empregado no ambiente de trabalho / The employees privacy at work

Marcia Sanz Burmann 11 April 2011 (has links)
A preocupação com a preservação dos direitos da personalidade do empregado é um movimento característico do direito do trabalho moderno, que concebe o trabalhador como cidadão e titular de todos os direitos fundamentais garantidos constitucionalmente, mesmo que este trabalhador esteja vinculado a um contrato de trabalho. A privacidade, como um direito da personalidade que representa valores morais do ser humano, merece especial atenção no ambiente de trabalho, principalmente em razão da intensificação do uso da tecnologia por parte do empregador para o controle e a fiscalização do empregado, sendo considerada atualmente como elemento essencial para o estabelecimento de um meio ambiente do trabalho sadio. Entretanto, apesar desta preocupação, não há como negar, em razão de o empregado estar inserido na estrutura empresarial, ter a sua atividade subordinada ao empregador e poder praticar atos capazes de afetar direitos fundamentais dos seus colegas de trabalho e de terceiros, que poderão existir situações em que haverá necessidade de limitação da privacidade do trabalhador. Diante desse cenário, a grande discussão que se estabelece é se é possível garantir a concretização do direito à privacidade do trabalhador sem afastar a característica principal da relação de emprego e, principalmente, sem afrontar outros direitos fundamentais de maior ou igual relevância. O objetivo do presente estudo é imergir nessa discussão a fim de demonstrar ser possível a coexistência de todos os interesses envolvidos e garantir a concretização dos direitos da personalidade do trabalhador observando todos os aspectos que decorrem da relação de emprego. Para tanto, após o estudo do conceito e das características da privacidade e do poder diretivo, a dissertação irá propor o estabelecimento de premissas gerais para garantir a preservação da privacidade do empregado em harmonia com a dinâmica do contrato de trabalho. Essas premissas serão utilizadas para buscar a concretização do direito à privacidade no caso concreto, ou seja, nas diversas situações do dia a dia de uma empresa em que a privacidade do trabalhador é passível de ameaça ou violação. Com o estudo dos casos concretos, a dissertação buscará demonstrar ser possível o estabelecimento de regras para a preservação da privacidade do trabalhador, mesmo diante da ausência de previsão legislativa trabalhista específica sobre a matéria. / The concern with the preservation of employees personality rights is a characteristic movement of the modern labor law, which conceives the workers as a citizen and holder of all fundamental rights constitutionally assured, even if the worker is bound to an employment agreement. Privacy, as a right of the personality which represents the moral values of the human beings, deserves special attention at the workplace, especially due to the intensified use of technology by the employer to control and supervise the employee, being considered today as an essential element for the establishment of a healthy work environment. However, despite such concern, no one can deny - since the employee is inserted in the corporate structure, having his/her activity subordinated to the employer and being able to perform actions that can affect the fundamental rights of his/her coworkers and third parties - that there may be situations where the privacy of the worker will have to be restrained. In face of this scenario, the main discussion that takes place is if it would be possible to ensure the realization of the workers right to privacy, without alienating the main characteristics of the employment relationship and, especially, without offense to the other fundamental rights of equal or grater relevance. The purpose of this study is to immerse in this discussion, in order to demonstrate the possibility of coexistence among all the interests involved and to assure the achievement of workers personality rights, taking in consideration all the aspects arising from the employment relationship. Therefore, after an analysis of the concept and characteristics of privacy and directive power, the thesis will propose the establishment of general premises to ensure the preservation of employees privacy, in harmony with the dynamics of the employment agreement. Such premises will be used to seek the realization of the right to privacy, in this specific case, that is, in the different situations of the everyday life of a company where the workers privacy is subject to threats or breaching. By studying real cases, the thesis will seek to demonstrate the possibility of establishing rules to preserve the workers privacy, eve in face of the absence of specific provisions of the labor law on the matter.

Des corps chauds dans la guerre froide : pouvoir, intimité et résistance dans le cinéma polonais (1968-1989) : une mémoire bio-cinématographique en Europe centrale ? / Warm bodies within the cold war : power, intimacy and resistance in Polish cinema (1968-1989) : a bio-cinematic memory in Central Europe ?

Lericq, Mathieu 07 December 2018 (has links)
Ce travail doctoral a pour enjeu théorique d'étudier la valeur acquise par les formes intimes de résistance dans les films polonais produits entre 1968 et 1989, à l’appui d’un panorama transversal d’œuvres connues ou inconnues. Si, comme l’écrit le philosophe polonais Leszek Kołakowski en 1977, « les liens familiaux, affectifs et sexuels résistent obstinément à l’emprise du pouvoir », comment le cinéma polonais a-t-il montré des corps qui aiment, pensent et rêvent malgré tout, figurant par leur présence à l’écran un rapport de force violent entretenu par la société civile avec l’État ? Déplaçant le concept de « biopolitique » (Michel Foucault) dans le contexte de la Pologne populaire, il s’agit de comprendre comment émerge une esthétique du désarroi visant à approfondir l’exploration poétique des gestes, des états (psycho)somatiques, des réactions corporelles et des sexualités. L’enjeu esthétique central cache un sous-enjeu mémoriel propre à l’Europe centrale et balkanique : qu’est-ce qu’à rebours les corps filmés font-ils à la mémoire du communisme ? Constituant le défi théorique de cette thèse, ce renversement que nous proposons de qualifier de mémoire bio-cinématographique, contribuera à éclairer la relation complexe induite par l’esthétique cinématographique avec l’altérité. / The theoretical challenge of this PhD consists on studying the value acquired by the intimate forms of resistance in Polish films produced between 1968 and 1989 in support of a transversal panorama of known or unknown filmic works. If, as the Polish philosopher Leszek Kołakowski wrote in 1977, “family, affective and sexual relations stubbornly resist the grip of communist power”, how did Polish cinema show bodies that loved, thought and dreamt despite everything, pointing, through their presence on-screen, to a power relationship that confronted civil society with the communist state? Extrapolating the concept of “biopolitics” (M. Foucault) to the context of Communist Poland, our study aims to understand how an aesthetic of disarray emerged in order to delve deeper into the poetic depiction of gestures, (psycho)somatic states, bodily reactions and sexualities. This multi-layered aesthetic issue conceals a crucial subtopic concerning memory which is specific to Central and Balkan Europe: what impact do filmed bodies have on the memory of communism? Discussing these themes, comprised in what we propose to designate as a bio-cinematic memory, seems to be relevant to shed some light on the complex experiences offered by Polish cinema towards otherness.

Sugardaddies - En kvalitativ studie om erfarenheter av sugardating

Hallengren, Li January 2019 (has links)
Hallengren, L. Sugardaddies – en kvalitativ studie om erfarenheter av sugardating. Examensarbete i sexologi 30 högskolepoäng. Malmö Universitet: Fakulteten för Hälsa och Samhälle, institutionen för socialt arbete, sexologi, 2019. Syftet med studien är att undersöka mäns erfarenheter av sugardating i rollen som sugardaddy. Mer specifikt syftar studien till att belysa deras syn på sugardating i relation till kön och makt. Materialinsamlingen består av fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med män som har erfarenhet av sugardating i form av att vara sugardaddy. Studien bygger på kvalitativ metod och det insamlade materialet har transkriberats, tematiserats och analyserats. Det teoretiska ramverket tar sin utgångspunkt i postmodernismen och det senmoderna samhällets snabbt föränderliga karaktär med fokus på intimitet och kommers. Det finns ingen överensstämmande samhällelig bild av fenomenet sugardating och beskrivningarna av det går isär. Medan vissa aktörer menar att det handlar om prostitution menar andra att det bör definieras som relation och den sammantagna bilden positionerar sugardating i gråzonen mellan dessa två. På gråzonsskalan mellan relation och prostitution så kan vi inom sugardating med största sannolikhet hitta både socialt accepterade former av det och samhälleligt kriminaliserade former av det. De huvudsakliga resultaten i denna studie visar på att det hos informanterna finns en ambition att inom sugardatingkonceptet skapa långvariga relationer som bygger på ömsesidighet och frivillighet där båda parter får ut vad de önskar av relationen. Det handlar om att ha en relation där förutsättningarna är överenskomna sedan innan och där parterna är aktiva i förhandlingen för att få sina individuella önskemål tillgodosedda. För några handlar det om att ha en okomplicerad relation där man kan lägga energi på de positiva aspekterna av att vara med en annan människa, för någon annan handlar det om att få vara sexuellt och relationellt med personer som är yngre än en själv. Oavsett anledning till att engagera sig i sugardatingrelationer så förhåller sig informanterna till samhälleliga normer i hur de förstår och reflekterar kring sina erfarenheter. De strukturella förutsättningarna och samhällets normer påverkar hur informanterna förstår sina erfarenheter på individuell, relationell och kontextuell nivå. / Hallengren, L. Sugardaddies – a qualitative study on experiences of sugardating. Master in sexology 30 hp. Malmö University: Faculty of health and society, Department of Social science: Sexology, 2019. The purpose of the study is to investigate men's experiences of sugar dating in the role of sugar daddy. More specifically, the study aims to shed light on their views on sugar dating in relation to gender and power. The material collection consists of five semi-structured interviews with men who have experience of sugar dating in the role of being a sugar daddy. The study is based on qualitative method and the collected material has been thematised and analyzed. The theoretical framework is based on postmodernism and the rapidly changing nature of late modern society with focus on intimacy and commerce. There is no consistent social picture of the phenomenon sugar dating and the descriptions of it are disintegrating. While some actors think it is about prostitution, others think it should be defined as a relationship and the overall picture positions sugar dating in the gray zone between these two. Within this gray zone between relationship and prostitution, we can most likely find both socially accepted forms of sugar dating and criminalized forms of it. The main results of this study show that there is an ambition among the informants to create long-term consensual and unforced relationships, in which both parties get what they want from the relationship. It is about having a relationship where the conditions have been agreed upon before and where the parties are active in the negotiation in order to fulfill their individual wishes. For some, it's about having an uncomplicated relationship where you can put energy on the positive aspects of being with another person, for someone else it's about being sexual and relational with people younger than yourself. Whatever the reason for engaging in sugary dating relationships, informants relate to societal norms in how they understand and reflect on their experiences. The structural conditions and societal norms influence how informants understand their experiences on an individual, relational and contextual level.
