The KhoeSan & Partnership: Beyond Patriarchy & Violence

Muthien, Bernedette 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Political Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2008. / This thesis contributes to existing literature on violent and peaceful societies generally, and more specifically contributes to debates on gender egalitarian societies within the fields of Peace, Gender and Indigenous Studies, by focusing on the KhoeSan, and KhoeSan women especially. This research project focused on two critically intersectional components: (1) reconstructing knowledge in general and reclaiming indigenous knowledge, from an African feminist perspective; and (2) analysing and reclaiming peaceful societies and the notion of nonviolence as a norm. Inextricably tied to these primary research questions, is the issue of gender, and gender egalitarianism, especially as it relates to women. An interdisciplinary, intersectional approach was used, combining the analytical lenses of the fields of Political Science (Peace Studies), Anthropology and Gender Studies, with some attention to cultures and spiritualities. The participatory methods employed include focus group discussions and unstructured interviews with KhoeSan community leaders, especially women elders. Concrete skills exchange with, and support for, the participating communities was consciously facilitated. Scholarship on, as well as practices of, the Khoesan evince normative nonviolence, as well as gender egalitarianism. These ancient norms and practices are still evident in modern KhoeSan oral history and practice. This thesis sets the following precedents, particularly through the standpoint of a female KhoeSan scholar: (a) contributing to the research on peaceful societies by offering an analysis of the KhoeSan’s nonviolence as a norm; (b) and extending scholarship on gender egalitarian societies to the KhoeSan. Further research in these intersecting areas would be invaluable, especially of peacefulness, social egalitarianism and collective leadership, as well as gender egalitarianism, among the KhoeSan. Broadening research to encompass Southern Africa as a region would significantly aid documentation.

Introdução Dada a sua crescente relevância epidemiológica e seu grande impacto na saúde das populações, diversos governos e entidades no mundo inteiro têm se preocupado com o tema da Saúde Mental. O relevante investimento em estudos epidemiológicos realizado no Brasil vem comprovando os índices alarmantes encontrados no mundo todo, especialmente na Atenção Primária da Saúde. No contexto da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira com a implantação do Sistema Único de Saúde, outro movimento, o da Reforma Psiquiátrica, ganhou alcance político e consolidou se como política pública de saúde no âmbito governamental e implantou importantes mudanças no modelo assistencial, deslocando a centralidade hospitalar anterior para um modelo assistencial de base comunitária. A implantação do SUS trouxe importantíssimas mudanças no modelo tecnoassistencial da saúde conformando outros arranjos na chamada Atenção Primária da Saúde, com o desenvolvimento da Estratégia Saúde da Família. Reconheceu-se a necessidade de maior presença e articulação de ações de Saúde Mental nesse nível de atenção. Objetivo: Analisar, na percepção dos profissionais envolvidos, a implantação de um Programa de Apoio à Saúde Mental na Atenção Primária de Saúde, articulada na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Métodos: Estudo de caso, de abordagem qualitativa. Utilizou-se pesquisa documental, entrevistas, discussão em grupo e observação em campo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo, agrupados em categorias, expostos à triangulação e discutidos à luz de seus pressupostos teóricos. Resultados: Foram observados resultados favoráveis, impasses e desafios na integração de ações de saúde mental na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Conclusões: A necessidade de ampliação do programa para se alcançar um maior grau de implantação, foi constatada. Mudanças na Estratégia de Saúde da Família deveriam ser sugeridas com o intuito de contemplar e integrar ações de saúde mental em seu âmbito, principalmente para conseguir alcançar - se o princípio da Integralidade / Introduction Due to its increasing epidemiological relevance and its great impact on the populations health, various governments and worldwide entities have been concerned about Health Mental themes. The relevant investment on epidemiological studies carried out in Brazil proved the alarming index found all over the world, especially on Primary Attention of Health. In the context of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform with the implantation of the Health Unique System, the Psychiatric Reform movement got a political reach and consolidation as public politics of health in the governmental ambit besides implanting expressive changes in the assistance models, moving the former hospital centrality to an assistance model of community base. The implantation of SUS has brought important changes to the techno-assistance model of health, adjusting other arrangements in the Primary Attention of Health with the development of the Family Health Strategy. It has been recognized the need of more presence and more articulation of Mental Health actions on this level of attention. Objective: To analyze, from the involved professionals perception, the implantation of a Supporting Program for the Mental Health in the Primary Attention of Health, linked to the Family Health Strategy. Methods: Case study of qualitative approach. Documental research, interviews, group discussion have been used as well as field observation. Data have been submitted to content analysis, clustered into categories, exposed to triangulation and discussed under the sight of their theoretical pretexts. Results: Favorable results, impasses and challenges in the integration of mental health actions in the Family Health Strategies have been noticed. Conclusions: The need of the program enlargement in order to reach a higher degree of implantation has been verified. Changes in the Family Health Strategy should be suggested with the purpose of contemplating actions and integrating mental health actions in its ambit, mainly to get to reach the principle of integrality

Summerhill school is it possible in Aotearoa ??????? New Zealand ???????: Challenging the neo-liberal ideologies in our hegemonic schooling system

Peck, Mikaere Michelle S. January 2009 (has links)
The original purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibility of setting up a school in Aotearoa (New Zealand) that operates according to the principles and philosophies of Summerhill School in Suffolk, England. An examination of Summerhill School is therefore the purpose of this study, particularly because of its commitment to self-regulation and direct democracy for children. My argument within this study is that Summerhill presents precisely the type of model Māori as Tangata Whenua (Indigenous people of Aotearoa) need in our design of an alternative schooling programme, given that self-regulation and direct democracy are traits conducive to achieving Tino Rangitiratanga (Self-government, autonomy and control). In claiming this however, not only would Tangata Whenua benefit from this model of schooling; indeed it has the potential to serve the purpose of all people regardless of age race or gender. At present, no school in Aotearoa has replicated Summerhill's principles and philosophies in their entirety. Given the constraints of a Master's thesis, this piece of work is therefore only intended as a theoretical background study for a much larger kaupapa (purpose). It is my intention to produce a further and more comprehensive study in the future using Summerhill as a vehicle to initiate a model school in Aotearoa that is completely antithetical to the dominant neo-liberal philosophy of our age. To this end, my study intends to demonstrate how neo-liberal schooling is universally dictated by global money market trends, and how it is an ideology fueled by the indifferent acceptance of the general population. In other words, neo-liberal theory is a theory of capitalist colonisation. In order to address the long term vision, this project will be comprised of two major components. The first will be a study of the principal philosophies that govern Summerhill School. As I will argue, Summerhill creates an environment that is uniquely successful and fulfilling for the children who attend. At the same time, it will also be shown how it is a philosophy that is entirely contrary to a neo-liberal 3 mindset; an antidote, to a certain extent, to the ills of contemporary schooling. The second component will address the historical movement of schooling in Aotearoa since the Labour Party's landslide victory in 1984, and how the New Zealand Curriculum has been affected by these changes. I intend to trace the importation of neo-liberal methodologies into Aotearoa such as the 'Picot Taskforce,' 'Tomorrows Schools' and 'Bulk Funding,' to name but a few. The neo-liberal ideologies that have swept through this country in the last two decades have relentlessly metamorphosised departments into businesses and forced ministries into the marketplace, hence causing the 'ideological reduction of education' and confining it to the parameters of schooling. The purpose of this research project is to act as a catalyst for the ultimate materialization of an original vision; the implementation of a school like Summerhill in Aotearoa. A study of the neo-liberal ideologies that currently dominate this country is imperative in order to understand the current schooling situation in Aotearoa and create an informed comparison between the 'learning for freedom' style of Summerhill and the 'learning to earn' style of our status quo schools. It is my hope to strengthen the argument in favour of Summerhill philosophy by offering an understanding of the difference between the two completely opposing methods of learning.

From Snow White to Frozen : An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films / Från Snövit till Frost : En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer

Nyh, Johan January 2015 (has links)
Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods. / <p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p>
