In this study, attitudes towards female employment and the division of labour between men and women in Germany, Italy and Sweden are explored. Using a quantitative approach, the first objective is to examine how political ideologies and welfare political models are reflected in or accompany attitudes towards female labour market participation among different groups in the three welfare states. Welfare policies significantly influence women’s choices to enter and remain in employment and to achieve individual social rights. Based on a more qualitative approach, the second aim is to study policy dynamics in relation to changing value orientations, and to track the emergence of alternative policies and their intended target groups. For this purpose local political implementers in each country were interviewed. The overall conclusion is that that the ways in which certain patterns of gender relations occur are closely related to the designs of national welfare policies. Still, within the groups of women and men factors such as age, educational attainment levels and family status are important or even decisive for attitudes towards female labour market participation. In addition, the extent to which attitudes correspond to actual female labour market behaviour seems largely to be a matter of public policy. While all three studies point at important national differences in welfare policies at the same time as patterns of value orientations converge, especially among women, the comparison of local policy levels reveals important withincountry variations. These variations concern the quantity as well as the quality of policy measures, that is, the political implications for gender on socio-economic situation, alternative political majority and historical and cultural heritage. Variations in local policy formulations are large in Italy and less pronounced in Germany and Sweden, and they illustrate the different political emphasis placed on the preservation, modification or transformation of what is defined as gender equality and as local or national cultural traditions. Local social and labour market policies depict quite different approaches. The degree of state control versus local autonomy is relevant for the outcome of local social policies on gender and both national and local policy formulations are important in determining whether the normative emphasis should be placed on the maintenance, reinforcement or alteration of gender relations. While such choices and decisions also include the acceptance or rejection of national, and even local differences in definitions of citizenship rights, they point at the inherent relativity of the concept and as a result, its gendering effects on social, economic and political equality.

A cidade de Caxias do Sul (RS), formada pela imigração italiana no final do século XIX, tornou-se desde 2011 um novo destino imigratório para fluxos compostos principalmente de haitianos e senegaleses. A presente dissertação busca compreender os processos de inclusão dos imigrantes na cidade, enfocando o seu acesso aos serviços públicos e às políticas locais. Sob a perspectiva local, estuda-se questões complexas como xenofobia, racismo e políticas migratórias, em especial sua articulação concreta dentro de um contexto histórico e cultural específico. Considerando o campo das migrações como um espaço político de disputa, são analisadas as dinâmicas de interação entre os principais atores locais, com destaque para o protagonismo da sociedade civil e da CDHCS e para a não-política do poder Executivo municipal. / The city of Caxias do Sul (RS), founded by Italian immigration in the end of the XIX century, has since 2011 become a new immigrant destination for flows mainly composed by Haitians and Senegalese. This dissertation aims to understand the immigrant inclusion processes in the city, focusing on their access to public services and to local policies. Complex issues such as xenophobia, racism and migration policies are studied from the local perspective, and especially how these issues are concretely articulated within a specific historic and cultural context. Considering the field of migrations as a political dispute arena, the interaction dynamics between the main local actors are analysed, particularly the protagonism of the civil society and of the CDHCS and the non-policy of the municipal Executive power.

« Retour du passé refoulé », « guerre des mémoires », « concurrence des victimes », depuis la fin des années 1990, les enjeux de mémoire collective sont au cœur du débat public, en particulier concernant la place occupée par les immigrés dans le roman national.L’idée qu’il existerait un « besoin de mémoire » rapporté à l’immigration, c’est-à-dire des immigrés et de leurs descendants, mais également de la société française dans son ensemble, s’est imposée comme une évidence, faisant l’objet d’une attention accrue des pouvoirs publics ainsi que d’une pluralité d’acteurs sociaux (universitaires, artistes, militants de la mémoire…).A partir d’une enquête comparative menée dans deux villes de la région Auvergne-RhôneAlpes : Saint-Etienne et Villeurbanne, notre thèse a pour but de saisir ce « besoin de mémoire » rapporté à l’immigration non pas comme un donné, mais comme un construit faisant l’objet d’usages politiques et sociaux.Dans ces deux villes marquées par une histoire industrielle forte, mais où la mémoire locale, en l’occurrence sa part immigrée, fait l’objet d’un traitement public différencié, il s’agit de se demander « ce qui se joue d’autre que le passé dans [des] politiques publiques censées y être consacrées » (Gensburger, 2010).A travers une démarche mêlant approche ethnographique et analyse documentaire, nous mettons au cœur de notre étude, non pas le rapport d’un groupe à sa mémoire, mais la notion de mémoire elle-même. Considérée comme une préoccupation majeure dans la sphère publique, elle est devenue une catégorie d’action et d’interprétation pour les pouvoirs publics mais également au principe de nouvelles mobilisations citoyennes. Il s’agit alors de restituer les conditions sociales de sa constitution en nouveau bien symbolique mis en circulation dans les territoires locaux ainsi que les enjeux politiques propres à la publicisation du passé migratoire.La traduction institutionnelle et militante des inégalités de traitement affectant les conditions d’existence des immigrés et leurs descendants dans les termes de la réparation symbolique renseigne sur la transformation des répertoires d’action publique, sur l’évolution des luttes autour de la cause de l’immigration, et donne à voir l’interpénétration croissante entre ces deux mondes. / “Resurfacing of the repressed past”, “war of memories”, “competitions of victims”: since the 1990s, the issue of collective memory has entered the public debate, especially when it comes to the role of immigrants in the national narrative.The idea that there would be a “need for memory” with regards to immigration —from immigrants and their offspring but also from French society at large— has become obvious. As a result, it has increasingly called the attention of public authorities and of a variety of social actors (academics, artists, memory activists, …)Based on a comparative study in the two cities of the Rhone-Alpes Auvergnes region: Saint-Étienne and Villeurbanne, this thesis aims at assesing this “need for memory” with regards to immigration without taking this need for natural. It is rather regarded as a construction that can be used for political and social purposes.While these two cities are marked by an important industrial history, local memory –namely that related to immigration– is treated in different ways. This context begs the following question: “besides the past, what else it at stake in those public policies that are supposed to be entirely dedicated to it?” (Gensburger 2010).Through an approach that brings together ethnographic and document analysis, this work does not center on the relationship of a particular group to its memory but on the very question of memory. Memory is now considered as a major issue in the public sphere and has become a category for action and interpretation by public authorities but also for grassroots activists. Thisthesis represents an attempt at unraveling the conditions for its constitution as a new symbolic good that circulates in local territories. In addition, this work looks at the political stakes that are inherent to the publicizing of the immigration past.The institutional and activist translation of the inequalities plaguing immigrants and their offspring into terms of symbolic reparation informs the transformation of public action, the evolution of the struggle over the question of immigration and ultimately sheds light on the inter-penetration of these two worlds.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Alberto Lima Talayer_.pdf: 1266813 bytes, checksum: 91c61a8ead792c7e1f25fe4aef077386 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-30 / Nenhuma / Esta pesquisa aborda temas relativos às concepções da extensão universitária, às possibilidades de formulação e execução de políticas no nível local e à migração, tendo como foco central da investigação o Projeto de Extensão MIGRAIDH, vinculado ao curso de Direito da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM), realizado junto a refugiados e imigrantes senegaleses. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de estudo de caso único, utilizando como fonte principal para coleta de dados – entrevistas com gestores, alunos e refugiados e imigrantes, sendo que a análise de conteúdo foi empregada como metodologia para análise dos dados. A pesquisa busca encontrar respostas ao problema de quais são as estratégias de gestão utilizadas em uma IFES para a inclusão de imigrantes e refugiados senegaleses na perspectiva da Política Nacional de Extensão Universitária. O objetivo geral consiste em analisar as estratégias estabelecidas no Projeto de Extensão, executado pela UFSM, com imigrantes e refugiados senegaleses, com vistas a contribuir para a inclusão desse segmento populacional na perspectiva da Política Nacional de Extensão Universitária. Constituem os objetivos específicos: conhecer as vivências dos imigrantes senegaleses na sociedade brasileira, investigar as estratégias de gestão adotadas no Projeto de Extensão executado pela UFSM, por meio das manifestações dos sujeitos da pesquisa e participantes do Projeto de Extensão (imigrantes e refugiados senegaleses, gestores e alunos) e analisar os desafios do Projeto de Extensão da UFSM e a possibilidade de transferir a experiência a outras Instituições Federais de Ensino Superior. O estudo concluiu pela necessidade das IFES fomentarem e promoverem políticas extensionistas inclusivas, especialmente aos segmentos mais vulneráveis da sociedade como o constituído por imigrantes e refugiados. Como resultado, este estudo oferece a caracterização e publicização de um Projeto de Extensão que desenvolve uma efetiva gestão democrática com estratégias e resultados concretos, que podem servir de modelo inspirador para outras IFES, que aceitem o desafio de investirem em políticas de inclusão e de responsabilidade social. Procurando dispensar um tratamento prioritário aos imigrantes e refugiados negros e indígenas, apresento a proposição ao Fórum de Pró-Reitores de Extensão das Instituições Públicas de Educação Superior Brasileiras (FORPROEX), da inclusão desse grupo populacional específico, no “Eixo Grupos Populacionais” da Política Nacional de Extensão Universitária, de forma a configurar, expressamente, a prioridade para orientar ações, projetos e programas de extensão que contemplem esses segmentos mais vulneráveis dentre os já vulneráveis. / This study examines issues in connection with university extension programs, the possibility of formulating and executing local policies, and immigration, specifically focused on research into the MIGRAIDH Extension Project, a component of the Law Program at the Federal University of Santa Maria (Universidade Federal de Santa Maria – UFSM), involving Senegalese refugees and immigrants. The principal data collection source for the qualitative case study included interviews with administrators, students, and refugees and immigrants. The content analysis method was applied to examine the corresponding data. The study sought to develop responses to the challenge of identifying the administrative strategies adopted in IFES to ensure the inclusion of Senegalese immigrants and refugees under the National University Extension Policy (Política Nacional de Extensão Universitária). The general objective consisted of analyzing the strategies executed by the UFSM Extension Project for Senegalese immigrants and refugees, with a view to contributing to the inclusion of this population segment under the National University Extension Policy. In this light, the study was based on the following specific objectives: to learn about the experiences of Senegalese immigrants in Brazilian society; to research the administrative strategies adopted by the USFM Extension Project based on the statements of research subjects and participants in the Extension Project (Senegalese immigrants and refugees, administrators, and students); and to examine the challenges of the UFSM Extension Project and the possibility of extending the related experiences to other Federal Institutions of Higher Learning. The study concludes that IFES must foster and promote inclusive extension policies, especially for the most vulnerable segments of society, including immigrants and refugees. With this in mind, the study describes and advances an Extension Project that provides for effective democratic management in conjunction with concrete strategies and results capable of serving as a model for other IFES that accept the challenge of investing in inclusive and socially responsible policies. With a view to the objective of giving priority to black and indigenous refugees and immigrants, the study proposes establishing the Forum of Deans at Academic Extension Programs in Brazilian Public Institutions of Higher Learning (Fórum de Pró-Reitores de Extensão das Instituições Públicas de Educação Superior Brasileiras – FORPROEX), for the purpose of promoting the inclusion of this specific population group within the “Population Group Axis” of the National University Extension Policy, as a means to consolidate extension actions, projects, and programs as a priority strategy for incorporating the most vulnerable segments of society within the broader category of vulnerable population segments.

Dans quelle mesure le concept de genre constitue-t-il une clé de lecture pertinente aux rapports entre dynamiques territoriales et dynamiques sanitaires ? Cette thèse propose de répondre à cette interrogation en analysant la participation au dépistage organisé du cancer colorectal et sa promotion dans les Hauts-de-Seine (92). Les villes de Boulogne-Billancourt et de Gennevilliers, ainsi que deux quartiers populaires de chacune d’elles sont comparés à partir de données quantitatives (taux de participation au dépistage) et qualitatives (observations, entretiens semi-directifs). Il apparaît que les disparités spatiales (inter ou infra-communale) et sexuées de participation au dépistage du cancer colorectal se déclinent différemment selon les territoires étudiés et ne reflètent pas l’inégale répartition spatiale des classes sociales. L’analyse des trajectoires de recours au médecin généraliste, acteur clé du programme, révèle des représentations et pratiques territoriales spécifiques aux contextes gennevillois et boulonnais, mais aussi aux hommes et aux femmes de ces espaces. L’étude de la promotion de ce dépistage permet de mieux comprendre les modes d’organisations et de développement des communes et quartiers ciblés (types et réseaux d’acteurs politiques, professionnels ou associatifs). Elle révèle également la nécessité de prendre en compte le genre dans l’analyse des déclinaisons locales d’une politique nationale de santé publique. Enfin, les représentations et les pratiques des médecins généralistes s’ancrent dans des parcours professionnels, des normes sociales dominantes et des dynamiques territoriales originales. / To which extent does the concept of gender can be a strategic concept to understand links between health and territorial dynamics? The following study aims to investigate this topic by analyzing the attendance at colorectal cancer screening sessions and its promotion in the Hauts-de-Seine (Paris region). We draw a comparison between the towns of Boulogne-Billancourt and Gennevilliers, and two of their popular districts, based on quantitative (attendance rates to screening sessions) and qualitative data (observations, semi-directive interviews). Among the findings, it appears that spatial and gendered disparities regarding colorectal cancer screening vary depending on the places studied and do not reflect the unequal distribution of social classes. The analysis of health-seeking behaviors to a general practitioner – a key actor of this screening program – highlights spatial representations and practices which are specific to the contexts in Boulogne-Billancourt and in Gennevilliers, as well as to women and men. The study of the promotion of colorectal cancer screening also enables us to better understand the ways these towns and districts are developed and organized (type and network of political, professional and associative stakeholders). In addition, the study stresses on the necessity to take gender into account when it comes to the analysis of local implementations of a national public health policy. Lastly, professional backgrounds, dominant social norms and spatial dynamics are an integral part of general practitioner’s representations and practices.

A construção desta tese partiu das reflexões em torno das transformações no contexto da atividade de processamento de alimentos na agricultura familiar no Brasil. Tanto as políticas públicas como as políticas locais estão sendo formuladas com o objetivo de promover a essas famílias o acesso a recursos financeiros e a novos canais de comercialização. Ambas as políticas (locais e públicas) estão condicionadas às ideias das regras da legislação sanitária agroalimentar, que nem sempre refletem as formas como as famílias e os atores sociais locais interpretam as atividades de processamento de alimentos. Considerando esse contexto, esta tese teve como objetivo analisar o papel que as ações políticas locais, os programas e as políticas públicas - construídos para a agricultura familiar desde a década de 1990 no Brasil - exercem no processo de mudança na interpretação e conduta das famílias que desenvolvem tais atividades. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi realizada em quatro regiões do Rio Grande do Sul, as quais corresponderam aos Coredes: Hortênsias, Jacuí Centro, Sul e Vale do Rio dos Sinos. Ao total, foram entrevistadas 64 famílias (agricultores familiares) que processam alimentos oriundos da agricultura e pecuária. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizados um formulário composto de questões quali e quantitativas, diários de campo e observações. A análise dos dados foi desenvolvida por meio de técnica qualitativa (análise de conteúdo) e quantitativa (Escala Likert). As famílias foram divididas em 4 grupos (trajetórias), que mostram as diferenças nas formas como iniciaram e modificaram tecnicamente as suas atividades de processamento de alimentos. As diferentes formas como as políticas locais foram construídas explicam a emergência de novos hábitos nas famílias, especialmente no aspecto produtivo. Os agentes ligados aos governos locais e aos órgãos de assistência técnica destacaram-se como os principais atores sociais que influenciaram nesses processos. O regramento sanitário conduziu os agentes locais na formulação de ações visando transformar essa atividade. Nesse contexto, foram evidenciadas três formas de políticas locais: as políticas caracterizadas pela repressão, negociação e construção de ações coletivas entre as famílias envolvidas. O Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar é a única política pública que está provocando a transformação de hábitos, identificada pelas novas reflexões das famílias em torno das suas atividades, no ambiente da produção e da comercialização de alimentos. Essas mudanças são explicadas pelo processo de operacionalização e gestão dessa política pública, que demanda novas formas de organização social e coletiva nas atividades de processamento de alimentos. / This thesis has started from reflections on transformations in the context of processing food activities developed by family farmers in Brazil. Public and local policies have been developed to promote financial resources and new channel selling for the food produced by family farmers. Both policies reflect the ideas from agri-food hygiene standards, which may not represent the way families and other social actors have been interpreting this activity. Considering this context, this thesis aims to discuss what the role of public and local policies are – constructed for family farms in Brazil from the 90’s – in the changes of behavior and interpretation from family farmers that are processing food. The research was developed in 4 different regions in state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, according to Regional Development Councils (Coredes): Corede Jacuí Centro, Corede Sul, Corede Vale do Rio dos Sinos and Corede Hortênsias. Interviews have been conducted with 64 families, which process food in the rural area, with the assistance of a semi-structured form (with qualitative and quantitative questions), field diaries and observations. In the data analysis, it was used qualitative (technique called tenor analyzis) and quantitative methods (Likert Scale). A typology has been constructed to describe the trajectories of families in the processing food activities, which represents how 4 different groups have started processing food and how they have changed the techniques over time. Different local policies have been developed by rural extension and actors from local government, which represents the main element of institutional changes. In this context, local policies have different characteristics: repressive, negociated and collective actions. Besides, these actors have been using the ideas from agrifood hygiene standards to develop local policies in order to transform processing food activities. The institutional changes were characterized by the transformations on productive and commercial aspect, especially in the local and stages of production. The National School Feeding Program (PNAE) has been influencing transformations in the family habits, which has been identified by changes in the production and selling of food. Moreover, these changes might be explained by the management process of this program, which involves new collective actions in the context of processing food activities.
