Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This dissertation is an ethnographic study about smartphones consumption by low-income women from different age groups in the city of Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. Based on the ethnography, which I choose to use as a theoretical-methodological approach because of its qualitative and empirical character, with participant observation, interviews and duration of twelve months, I try to understand in this work which are and how the practices of smartphone consumption occur among women from the low-income groups from different districts of the city. I also try to investigate the social and cultural practices that are found in the relation between women and their smartphones, as well as verify if the cell phone brings possibilities of female empowerment. Understanding what women intend to communicate through the use of smartphones, which strategies they use, and to identify the relevance of mobile devices on a day-by-day basis and in the women surveyed lives are also part of the specific objectives of the work. Theoretically, this dissertation mainly addresses anthropological researches on cell phones and social media, studies on consumption and material culture and work on gender and technology. As research considerations it is possible to state that: smartphones have become everyday; there is a gender consumption of the devices, related to what is to be a woman, to motherhood, to sexuality, to love and to family relations; currently the smartphones move the jobs of the working women, mainly the autonomous ones; and these artifacts, through their various functionalities, enable low-income women to feel included in the digital world and to know new ways of sociability, communication and how to be a woman. Women are in a relationship with their cell phones. / Esta dissertação é um estudo etnográfico sobre o consumo de smartphones por mulheres de camadas populares de diferentes faixas etárias da cidade de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul. A partir da etnografia, que escolho usar como abordagem teórico-metodológica por seu caráter qualitativo e empírico, com observação participante, entrevistas em profundidade e duração de doze meses, busco compreender neste trabalho quais são e como ocorrem as práticas de consumo de smartphones entre mulheres de camadas populares pertencentes a diferentes bairros da cidade. Procuro ainda investigar as práticas sociais e culturais que se encontram na relação entre mulheres e os seus smartphones, bem como verificar se o telefone celular traz possibilidades de empoderamento feminino. Entender o que as mulheres pretendem comunicar através do uso do smartphone, que estratégias elas utilizam para isso e identificar a relevância dos dispositivos móveis no dia a dia e na vida das mulheres pesquisadas também fazem parte dos objetivos específicos do trabalho. Teoricamente esta dissertação aborda principalmente pesquisas antropológicas sobre telefones celulares e mídias sociais, estudos sobre consumo e cultura material e trabalhos sobre gênero e tecnologia. Como considerações da pesquisa é possível afirmar que: os smartphones se tornaram cotidianos; existe um consumo de gênero dos aparelhos, relacionado ao que é ser mulher, a maternidade, a sexualidade, a relações amorosas e familiares; os smartphones, atualmente, movem os trabalhos das mulheres trabalhadoras, principalmente as autônomas; e esses artefatos, através de suas diversas funcionalidades, possibilitam que mulheres de baixa renda se sintam incluídas no mundo digital e conheçam novas formas de sociabilidade, de comunicação e de ser mulher. As mulheres estão em um relacionamento sério com seus celulares.

Indians (classified in ethnology as belonging to J?-Timbira group) and the Museu Paulista of the Universidade de S?o Paulo, which we can classify as two distinct social fields. The understanding of the drama is conveyed through an examination of each of these fields and the coming together of both on the basis of the positions taken up, within the network of relationships established during the social process, by actors representing both the Krah? field and what we may call here the academic-administrative field. A multi-sited ethnographic approach is adopted, seeking the complexity of the drama and the positions in the aforementioned network, taking into consideration institutional political projects, personal projects and personal trajectories within a historical perspective. The aim is to encourage discussion of the relationship between the formation of the historical-scientific and ethnographic museums and the practices of the anthropological discipline, as well as the social role of these institutions and the processes of signification of objects belonging to the indigenous material culture / O presente trabalho prop?e a an?lise de uma situa??o de drama social envolvendo a etnia Krah? (classificada na etnologia como pertencente ao grupo J?-Timbira) e o Museu Paulista da Universidade de S?o Paulo, os quais classificamos como dois campos sociais distintos. O entendimento do drama se objetiva por meio do exame de cada um desses campos e da aproxima??o de ambos com base nas posi??es assumidas, dentro da rede de rela??es estabelecidas durante o processo social, por atores representativos tanto do campo Krah? quanto do que convencionamos chamar aqui de campo acad?mico-administrativo. ? realizada uma abordagem etnogr?fica multi-situada, que busca complexificar a constru??o do drama e as posi??es na referida rede, levando-se em considera??o projetos pol?ticos institucionais, projetos pessoais e trajet?rias de vida inscritos em uma perspectiva hist?rica. Pretende-se levantar discuss?es sobre a rela??o da forma??o dos museus hist?rico-cient?ficos e etnogr?ficos com pr?ticas da disciplina antropol?gica, bem como o papel social dessas institui??es e os processos de significa??o de objetos de cultura material ind?gena

Thesis (MTech (Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012. / Judging from the market growth of African-style designs, including beadwork, it is clear that beadwork continues to recur in contemporary fashion, both locally and internationally. This thesis addresses the role traditional South African beadwork plays in contemporary fashion, in an attempt to determine its impact on fashion trends over time. It explores the history of beadwork in South Africa: its development from the pre-colonial era, under colonial rule, and during apartheid. The beadwork of the Ndebele, Zulu and Xhosa are looked at specifically, since beadwork forms a vibrant part of their cultures. The research examines the history of South African beads, as far back as 75 000 years ago, when beads were first made, used and traded. This research is underpinned by the way in which beads contribute to a cultural identity in society. The research considers how South Africa's colonial and apartheid past inhibited the development of beadwork in South African fashion. This thesis describes the process and dynamics of traditional beadwork in contemporary fashion; the way in which beadwork has been infused into fashion; and the reasons for these trends. It also investigates the way in which African designs, patterns, colours and techniques began to playa role in negotiating fashion designers' identities during the African renaissance and at present. This is a qualitative study that through in-depth interviews, analyses the relationship and balance between beadwork and fashion trends. Lastly, the research indicates whether South African fashion consciously affirms beadwork and beading techniques in contemporary fashion design.

Este trabalho consiste no estudo sobre a utilização dos estilos vintage e retrô nos arranjos domésticos, considerando a ordem decorativa, as relações entre moda e decoração, os significados atribuídos aos artefatos, a construção e a representação de identidades. A pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as características do vintage e do retrô, explorar suas maneiras de apropriação e constituição enquanto estratégias para a personalização dos ambientes domésticos. Tem como principais fontes os discursos encontrados nas revistas Casa Claudia e Casa e Jardim, especializadas em decoração, publicadas no período de 2002 a 2011. Nas reportagens, tanto os textos quanto as imagens são recursos importantes para a compreensão dos tipos de arranjos caracterizados como vintage, cuja principal propriedade está no uso de artefatos do passado, ou como retrô, classificados como objetos que se aproveitam de recursos tecnológicos atuais, mas que remetem ao passado. Através de algumas reportagens veiculadas, pretendo discutir a importância da cultura material como recurso para a construção de modelos de estilo de vida. Embora o discurso das revistas privilegie o entendimento do vintage e do retrô como formas de personalização e expressão das individualidades, quero destacar seu caráter social e cultural, evidenciando o conjunto de regras e significados que regulam suas formas de uso. / This work is a study on the use of vintage and retro styles in domestic arrangements, considering the decorative order, the relationship between fashion and interior design, the meanings attributed to artifacts, the construction and representation of identities. The research aims to understand the characteristics of the vintage and retro, explore their ways of appropriation and constitution as strategies for customizing home environments. Its main sources discourses were found in Casa Claudia and in Casa e Jardim magazines, specializing in decoration, published between 2002-2011. In the reports, both the texts and images are important features for understanding of the types of arrangements characterized as vintage, whose main property is the use of artifacts from the past, or as retro, classified as objects that take advantage of current technological resources, but that refer to the past. Through some articles published, I intend to discuss the importance of material culture as a resource for building models lifestyle. Although the discourse of magazines favors the understanding of vintage and retro as forms of customization and expression of individuality, I want to highlight their social and cultural nature, showing the set of rules governing their meanings and forms of use.

Before the Spanish conquest, the town of Porco, in the Department of Potosí in modern-day Bolivia, was the site of one of the most important Inca mining projects. During the viceregal period it became the focus of the first Spanish silver mining operations of the in the Andes. This region offers an excellent opportunity for historical archeology to ask questions about the relationship between the states that organized such mining projects and the workers who exploited the ore. Such an undertaking grants us a better understanding of the dynamics that had a profound impact on the origins of the modern Andean economy. This article presents ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence in order to discuss the organization of colonial labor categories, and the development of the changing social roles and status of skilled workers associated with the south-central Andean mining industry. In doing so, I trace the regional transitions in labor from the Inca to Spanish empires. Excavations at the colonial site of Ferro Ingenio, a silver refinery in the San Juan Valley, southwest of the village of Porco, shed new light on labor in the first century of Spanish colonialism and how skilled indigenous workers negotiated their positions within colonial society. / Antes de la conquista española, el pueblo de Porco, en el departamento de Potosí, Bolivia, fue uno de los asientos mineros más importante de los incas. Durante el virreinato, fue el foco de las primeras operaciones de minería de plata española en los Andes. Esta región ofrece una excelente oportunidad para que la arqueología histórica plantee preguntas acerca de la relación entre los estados que organizaban dichos proyectos mineros y los trabajadores que explotaban el mineral, que nos ayuden a entender esa dinámica que tuvo un profundo impacto en los orígenes de la economía andina moderna. Este artículo presenta evidencia arqueológica y etnohistórica para examinar la organización de ciertas categorías laborales coloniales, y el desarrollo de los papeles y posiciones sociales de trabajadores asociados a la industria minera andina sur-central para trazar la transición de la mano de obra en la región del imperio de los incas al de los españoles. Las excavaciones en el sitio colonial de Ferro Ingenio, una refinería de plata en el valle de San Juan, al sudoeste del pueblo de Porco, arrojan nuevas luces sobre el tema de la mano de obra en el primer siglo de colonialismo español y de cómo los trabajadores calificados negociaban sus propias posiciones en la sociedad colonial.

abstract: This dissertation explores complex representations of spiritual, social and cultural ways of knowing embedded within engraved ivory drill bows from the Bering Strait. During the nineteenth century, multi-faceted ivory drill bows formed an ideal surface on which to recount life events and indigenous epistemologies reflective of distinct environmental and socio-cultural relationships. Carvers added motifs over time and the presence of multiple hands suggests a passing down of these objects as a form of familial history and cultural patrimony. Explorers, traders and field collectors to the Bering Strait eagerly acquired engraved drill bows as aesthetic manifestations of Arctic mores but recorded few details about the carvings resulting in a disconnect between the objects and their multi-layered stories. However, continued practices of ivory carving and storytelling within Bering Strait communities holds potential for engraved drill bows to animate oral histories and foster discourse between researchers and communities. Thus, this collaborative project integrates stylistic analyses and ethno-historical accounts on drill bows with knowledge shared by Alaska Native community members and is based on the understanding that oral narratives can bring life and meaning to objects within museum collections. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Art 2013
