Title: ”It’s about mental factors” – Examining how a “winner’s mentality” is portrayed in Swedish sports mediaThis essay aims to explore what the Swedish sports media means when it discusses the term of a “winner’s mentality”, through a discourse analysis. More specifically this essay studies how the language in nine different sports papers in Sweden construes the meaning of the word by combining it with different signs and through the use of metaphors, a commonly used linguistic trick in Sportugese. The articles selected for analysis were all published in a one month span between the 8th of December 2016 and the 8th of January 2017. This particular period of time was selected because it included the 2017 World Juniors in ice hockey, a tournament in which the Swedes have placed fourth three years in a row, and which sparked a debate in the Swedish sports press about the team’s “winner’s mentality”.The study found five major themes within the sports journalistic discourse. A major aspect was focusing on the athlete´s psychology, their self-confidence and their will to win. This closely resembles the discourse in popular psychology, more specifically self-help texts where the readers are encouraged to change through active will. Another major theme was that of a winning record. According to the sports press, if an athlete or a team wins more often than not than that proves they possess a “winner’s mentality” and helps them win in the future as well. The essay also found differences in “winner´s mentality” based on a cultural aspect. Swede’s ability to win was downplayed while Americans were praised for their unusually strong mental abilities. This is also found in Swedish self-help texts and might indicate a much larger discourse in national identity at work. The two last themes identified were the importance of experience, and also that a “winner´s mentality” could be affected by a large amount of external factors.Overall the study found that the discourse was in disagreement within itself. A “winner´s mentality” could mean plenty of different things, and in some cases actively opposes itself. Another finding was that the sports press rarely reflects on the meaning of the term and instead mostly uses it as a rhetoric weapon or to make a point across. This raises the question whether or not the term has an actual use within sports terminology and debate if it can be interpreted in many different ways.

[pt] Nosso trabalho buscou apresentar a concepção de juízo na obra de Hannah Arendt, cuja compreensão se apoia em uma livre interpretação do juízo reflexionante estético de Kant. As razões pelas quais Arendt teria se voltado para o tema refletem sua preocupação com o obscurecimento do mundo, cuja pluralidade esteve visivelmente ameaçada com o advento do totalitarismo. Para a pensadora, os acontecimentos sem precedentes decorrentes do totalitarismo fazem parte de um contexto em que a ausência de reflexão e uma consequente inabilidade para julgar o que se passava fizeram do século XX um dos mais sombrios períodos da história da humanidade. A faculdade do juízo reflexionante estético, capaz de refletir sobre o particular sem que exista um universal dado, foi pensada por Arendt em um contexto político, e suas características apontam para a necessidade de compreender sem corrimãos os assuntos mundanos que se apresentam na contemporaneidade. Poderíamos considerar uma teoria do juízo arendtiana apenas de um modo fragmentado, uma vez que esse foi um projeto de uma pesquisa teórica que não foi realizado integralmente por ela, e do qual temos um quebra-cabeça a ser montado. Suas peças podem ser resgatadas desde os seus primeiros ensaios, quando a ação política era o seu leit motif intelectual. Posteriormente, a partir do julgamento de Eichmann, quando ao cunhar a expressão banalidade do mal ela própria se tornou exemplar em seu juízo reflexionante. Julgar prospectivamente com uma mentalidade alargada ou retrospectivamente com desinteresse são, pois, lados possíveis da mesma moeda: o juízo de gosto, cujo resgate Arendt se esforçou em trazer à luz. Tal juízo possui as características da comunicabilidade e intersubjetividade que possibilitam a existência do mundo, entendido como o espaço entre homens e espaço de visibilidade do pensamento reflexivo. Por essa razão, a atividade de julgar assim compreendida é a única faculdade espiritual do homem capaz de estabelecer o horizonte da pluralidade. / [en] Our work intended to present the notion of judgment in the writings of Hannah Arendt, whose comprehension supports itself on a free interpretation of Kantian aesthetic reflective judgment. The reasons why Arendt would have turned herself to the theme reflect her concern about the darkening of the world, whose plurality had been visibly threatened by the advent of totalitarianism. For philosopher, the unprecedented events that came from totalitarianism are part of a context in which the lack of deliberation and a subsequent inability to judge what was happening made the 20th century one of the darkest periods of human history. Arendt studied the faculty of aesthetic reflective judgment, capable of deliberating about the particular without a given universal, in a political context, and its characteristics point to the necessity of comprehending without handrails the mundane topics that present themselves on contemporaneity. We are able to consider only a fragmented Arendtian theory of judgment, since this was a research project not done solely by herself, and of which we have a whole puzzle to assemble. The pieces of this puzzle can be found beginning on her first essays, when the political action was her intellectual leit motif. Later, from Eichmann s judgment on, when she became an example on her own reflective judgment after coining the expression banality of evil. Judging prospectively with an enlarged mentality or retrospectively with disinterest are, then, two possible sides of the same coin: the judgment of taste, something Arendt tried to rescue and bring to light. This judgment holds the same characteristics of communicability and intersubjectivity that make possible the existence of the world, understood as the space between men and space of visibility of reflective judgment. For this reason, the activity of judging, comprehended this way, is the only spiritual faculty of men capable of establishing the horizon of plurality.

La présente thèse est consacrée à l’étude de l’influence de la pensée sur la santé, à l’analyse du lien entre l’état psychique, la santé physique et la longévité. La diversité des actions psychogéniques, l’instabilité des conditions sociales, et en particulier la situation économique actuelle, les relations au sein du collectif, les problèmes quotidiens rencontrés au sein de la famille exercent une influence négative sur l’état d’esprit, sur l’état de santé général, l’état du psychisme.Les multiples recherches ont montré que la pensée est une forme universelle d’énergie, qui exerce une influence positive aussi bien que destructive. Nous avons cherché à vérifier l’hypothèse qui consiste dans le fait que l’état de la santé est principalement influencé par la bonne organisation de la pensée. L'objectif de notre travail est de déterminer comment mettre sa pensée au service de la santé, d’élaborer des moyens de contrôler son fonctionnement psychique et d’utiliser pour ce faire, correctement et rationnellement, sa mémoire et son expérience, de proposer des dispositifs et des entrainements qui mettent en mesure de lutter contre le stress, la peur et la dépression. En somme, l’ambition est ici de créer un modèle susceptible de rendre compte des tenants et aboutissants de la santé au travail, résultat qui présuppose d’une part la détermination des facteurs pronostiques qui influent sur la formation de la santé professionnelle, et d’autre part l’élaboration des fondements théoriques de la correction des processus de réflexion. 227 personnes ont participé à notre recherche. Nous avons observé nos sujets durant 5 ans. L’examen a eu lieu annuellement. Nous avons étudié la naissance et la formation des pensées et les particularités de leur influence sur la santé. Nous avons planifié les expériences et sélectionné les méthodes suivants : Sur la relation envers la santé, Buts et valeurs de la vie, Test d’Eizenck, Test Lucher, Test Leray, Locus contrôle, qui nous ont permis de mieux étudier la personnalité des sujets. L’analyse des résultats nous a permis de découvrir le lien entre le niveau d’anxiété et les troubles de sommeil, les sauts d’humeurs, les symptômes somatiques, les troubles intestinaux, apparition de la peur, et la hausse de la pression artérielle. Selon les résultats obtenus avant et après les expériences nous sommes arrivés à la conclusion que les orientations sociales de base influencent les pensées sur la santé et la longévité professionnelle. La valeur scientifique et pratique de ce travail consiste dans le fait que c’est pour la première fois que la psychocorrection et la psychoréhabilitation ont été utilisées dans la création des pensées sur la santé pour des employés concrets. / The present thesis is devoted to the study of the influence of thought on health, to the analysis of the link between psychic state, physical health and longevity. The variety of psychogenic actions, the instability of social conditions, and in particular the current economic situation, relations within the group, everyday problems encountered inside the family exert a negative influence on the state of mind, the state of general health, the state of the psyche. Many studies have shown that thought is a form of universal energy, which exerts positive as well as negative influence. We have sought to verify the hypothesis that the state of health of an individual is mainly influenced by the type of organization of his or her thinking. The objective of our work is to determine how we can make thought serve health and to design ways to control the psychic functioning of thought. For this purpose, we seek to find how we can use, correctly and rationally, our memory and experience, and we propose approaches and exercises enabling us to combat stress, fear and depression. In a word, our ambition is to create a model allowing us to understand the different factors in health at the workplace. This presupposes on the one hand the identification of prognostic factors impacting health at the workplace, and on the other hand the elaboration of theoretical foundations to improve the thought process. 227 persons participated in our study. We observed our subjects for five years. They were examined annually. We studied the birth and formation of thoughts and the specific ways that they influenced health. We planned experiments and selected the following methods: On the Relation to Health, Aims and Values of Life, the Eizenck Personality Test, the Lucher Test, the Leray Test, and Locus Control. These methods enabled us to study the personality of the subjects more effectively. The analysis of the results enabled us to discover the link between the level of anxiety and sleep disorders, sudden mood swings, somatic symptoms, intestinal disorders, sudden fear, and rise in blood pressure. On the basis of the results obtained before and after the experiments we reached the conclusion that basic social factors influence thoughts about health and job longevity. The scientific and practical value of this work is that this is the first time that psychocorrection and psychorehabilitation have been used to create thoughts about health for specific employees.

A reconstituição e a análise da transição contemplam as condições socioeconômicas locais e as realizações das culturas material e simbólica, nos planos da paisagem urbana, costumes, discursos e criação artística. A abordagem prioriza a identificação dos movimentos de renovação, assim como a capacidade de permanência dos valores, na sua lenta e complexa evolução ao longo daquele século. / Salvador

The diploma thesis deals with the everyday image of the wars in the 16th and early 17th Century. The medieval ideal of "miles christianus" still permeated the thinking of an early modern nobleman and influenced his life. There were several noblemen who devoted their lives to the war. On the other hand, the analysis of preserved correspondence portrayed a conflict between the ideal and reality. The result showed the lack of interest in the war campaigns. Historical-anthropological point of view allowed to look at the individuals and their behaviour methods, which should have helped them to avoid a campaign. A typology of individual letters was emphasized. It became the basis for determination of the strategies used by nobility. The main concern of this thesis was, by using the methodology of collective mentalities, to reconstruct the thinking of early modern noblemen, who were no longer able to behave according to the standards. It tries to create a collective biography, where several demands set the behavioral traits of noble absentee.

Tem sido demonstrado tanto seus aspectos positivos quanto suas incoerências, tanto sua dinâmica interna quanto seu relacionamento com a sociedade em geral, através de análises profundas e esclarecedoras. Porém, sobre a relação entre pentecostalismo e escatologia, somente tem sido apontada, indiretamente, sua importância nas origens do movimento pentecostal. Esta investigação buscou compreender a mentalidade dos pentecostais da Assembléia de Deus de Belo Horizonte (MG) relacionada à escatologia, nas três últimas décadas do século passado, por intermédio da análise de suas crenças apocalípticas e dos sentimentos e representações ligadas ao imaginário da suposta iminente volta de Cristo. Foram pesquisados depoimentos orais e fontes escritas.(AU)

Orientador: Helen Barbosa Raiz Engler / Banca: Josiani Julião Alves de Oliveira / Banca: Ubaldo Silveira / Resumo: Este trabalho intenciona discutir a produção do conhecimento no único Programa de Pósgraduação em Serviço Social público do estado de São Paulo através do estudo bibliográfico e documental das dissertações produzidas entre 1999 e 2009, da Linha de Pesquisa Mundo do Trabalho, que realizam interface com estudos sobre a indústria calçadista de Franca, por tratar-se de um cenário composto intensificamente de formas antigas de trabalho, como o desenvolvido em âmbito domiciliar, expressões do processo de reestruturação produtiva e precarização das condições de vida, além da predominância de empresas familiares e do perfil empreendedor de diversos atores sociais. Para tanto, utilizou-se como categorias de análise: Mentalidades; Reestruturação Produtiva; Trabalho e Relações de Trabalho. Assim sendo, foram pré-selecionadas doze dissertações através da análise e leitura dos títulos, resumos, palavras-chave, introdução e considerações finais, porém, somente dez contemplaram o objetivo proposto integralmente, que é analisar como se deu a discussão sobre a indústria calçadista e o mundo do trabalho, tendo como enfoque as categorias de análise supracitadas. Realizou-se discussão e interlocução entre os temas propostos através da leitura analítica. Verificou-se que as relações e condições de trabalho em Franca movimentam-se conforme a tendência constante do capital, deteriorando a força produtiva, pois o setor calçadista não apresenta inovações tecnológicas significantes e no trabalho subcontratado os meios de produção são antigos e ultrapassados, além de a indústria apresentar grande dependência de políticas de incentivo governamental. Foi considerado importante que novas pesquisas sejam realizadas na universidade, como propõe Guiraldelli (2006), com o intuito de dar voz e ouvido aos trabalhadores que se encontram imersos...

For this purpose, as categories of analysis: Mindsets; Productive Restructuring, Employment and Labour Relations. Thus, twelve were preselected dissertations by analyzing and reading the titles, abstracts, key - words, introduction and closing remarks, but only ten fully contemplated the proposed objective, which is examining how was the discussion of the footwear industry and world of work, focusing on the analysis categories above. Thus, through analytical reading was held discussion and communication among the topics proposed. There is that the relations and working conditions in Franca move up as the continuing trend of capital, undermining the productive power, because the footwear sector has no significant technological innovations and the work outsourced production facilities are old and outdated, beyond the industry present a great dependence on government incentive policies. It is considered important that more research is done at the university, as proposed Guiraldelli (2006) in order to give voice and listen to workers who find themselves immersed in the constant changes in the workplace and to provide more performance, conducting research and intervention Social Work, whether as a professional coach, teacher, or student for a role...

This work discusses how Protestantism was an essential element for the strengthening of relations between Dutch and potiguaras, arguing that the idea of the Universal Church, plus the specific conditions of Dutch Brazil put both under conditions of greater equality and greater indigenous participation in the administration of colony. It also demonstrates that the very Potiguara helped establish Protestantism in Colonial Northeast, evangelized other tribes, were a historian, the first Protestant martyr of Brazil, and even ordered a pastor and his church survived longer than Dutch Brazil. / O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar, através da História das Mentalidades, como os aspectos da mentalidade reformada do séc. XVII foram absorvidas pelos potiguara que se aliaram aos holandeses no Brasil Colonial, com a finalidade de afirmar que estes indígenas formaram a primeira igreja protestante do Brasil, a Igreja Reformada Potiguara. O trabalho aborda como o protestantismo foi um elemento essencial para o fortalecimento das relações entre holandeses e potiguaras, defendendo que a ideia de Igreja Universal, somada as condições específicas do Brasil Holandês pôs ambos em condições de mais igualdade e com maior participação indígena na administração da colônia. Demonstra ainda que os próprios potiguara ajudaram a implantar o protestantismo no Nordeste Colonial, evangelizaram outras tribos, tiveram um historiador, o primeiro mártir protestante brasileiro, e até ordenaram um pastor, e que sua igreja sobreviveu mais tempo que o Brasil Holandês.

Cette étude se concentre sur l'analyse de l'expression « civilisation du travail » pour proposer un examen critique et normatif de la « valeur-travail ». Repartant des deux sens, scientifique et pragmatique de l'expression « civilisation du travail », le propos se divise en deux temps : il se focalise d'abord sur l'aspect scientifique, descriptif de l'expression avant d'envisager la possibilité de son emploi normatif. Dans le volet descriptif, il s'agit, d'une part, de mesurer la pertinence d'un emploi ethnographique de l'expression pour caractériser nos sociétés occidentales et, d'autre part, de présenter un portrait intellectuel et moral du travailleur moderne. Les traits de caractère spécifiques de cette figure sont ensuite l'objet d'une analyse critique qui ouvre sur le volet normatif de ce travail. Repartant des liens que la figure du travailleur tayloro-fordien entretient avec le constat d'une crise de la civilisation dans le discours philosophico-sociologique de l'entre-deux-guerres et des Trente Glorieuses, l'étude renoue avec le dilemme marxien de la libération ou de la désaliénation du travail en l'indexant à ses enjeux culturels : faut-il privilégier une réduction du temps de travail ou une transformation radicale de ses conditions d'exercice pour espérer sortir de l'impasse nihiliste ? En recomposant le débat opposant les défenseurs d'une « civilisation des loisirs » à ceux d'une « civilisation du travail », la réflexion retrouve les lignes de fracture structurant les débats sur la valeur du travail. Elle s'achève sur la défense d'un emploi normatif de l'expression « civilisation du travail ». / This investigation is focussed on the analysis of the expression civilisation of labour, puttingforward a critical and normative examination of the labour theory of value. Proceeding fromthe scientific and pragmatic perspectives of the civilisation of labour, the thesis is divided intotwo parts: concentrating first of all on the scientific aspect, describing the expression, before considering the possibility of its normative use. The descriptive section is devoted toevaluating the pertinence of an ethnographic use of the expression to characterise western societies and presenting an intellectual and moral portrait of the modern worker. The specific characteristics of this figure then become the object of a critical analysis which leads into the normative section of this work. Commencing with the ties the figure of the Tayloro-Fordian worker maintains with the crisis of civilisation observed in philosophical and sociological discourse during the inter-war period and the post-war boom, the investigation revives the Marxist dilemma of the freedom or disalienation of labour by indexing it to related cultural issues: should a reduction in working hours or a radical transformation of labour conditions be favoured in the hope of escaping a nihilistic impasse? By reconstructing the debate opposing the defenders of a civilisation of leisure to those of a civilisation of labour, the examination uncovers the dividing lines structuring debates on the value of labour. The thesis is completed with the defence of a normative use of the expression civilisation of labour.

La réduction du risque volcanique dans les départements ultramarins français s’inscrit dans une réflexion plus globale de gestion visant la caractérisation des enjeux et la diminution de leur vulnérabilité. Les îles de la Guadeloupe, la Martinique et la Réunion sont exposées à une multitude de risques naturels de par leur situation géographique et leur caractère insulaire. S’appuyant sur une approche comparative, aussi bien spatiale que temporelle, cette thèse de géographie propose une analyse des rapports des hommes à leur territoire marqué par la présence d’une menace latente : le volcanisme. Dans cette perspective, le risque est appréhendé, non comme un élément extérieur, mais comme un processus de construction sociale. A partir des scénarios éruptifs envisagés par les experts, ce diagnostic évalue, en amont de toute crise, les connaissances, les représentations et les comportements annoncés des populations exposées au risque. Il envisage les déterminants influents, tels le type de volcanisme, l’histoire éruptive ou l’identité des sociétéscréoles. Recenser les distorsions et cerner les réponses inadaptées permet d’envisager des outils d’information préventive plus efficients. Dans la lignée de travaux s’attachant à des thématiques similaires, cette recherche met en exergue la dimension de la composante humaine au coeur de la gestion des risques qu’on a qualifié un peu trop rapidement de "naturels". Au final, nous pointons les atouts à renforcer, les méconnaissances ou croyances à rectifier et les caractéristiques immuables des sociétés créoles, à prendre en compte pour une gestion de crise volcanique optimisée dans le futur. / Reduction of volcanic risk en the French overseas departments is part of a more global management issues for the evaluation and reduction of their vulnerability. Indeed, the islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique and Reunion are exposed to a multitude of natural hazards due to their geographical location and insular character. This thesis provides an analysis of how humans relate to their environment. It is based on a comparative approach, both spatial and temporal, given thepresence of a latent threat: volcanism. In this perspective, the risk is understood, not as an external element, but as a socially constructed process. Experts are developing scenarios to see how exposed populations may react to volcanic eruptions, asking what the local knowledges, representations, and possible behaviors are - considering key factors, such as the type of eruption, volcanic history, and the identity of Creole societies. Finally, this study, in line with work focusing on similar themes, highlights the human dimension in risk management. It takes into account the strengths and weaknesses, including the unique characteristics of Creole societies, necessary for optimal management of volcanic crisis in the future.
