L’analyse des lieux de pouvoir ou des sites élitaires permet une compréhension des différentes stratégies de construction et d’organisation des territoires par les pouvoirs médiévaux. Ces lieux étaient en effet les points nodaux d’où les élites produisaient des discours visant à justifier, exprimer et pérenniser leur pouvoir, tant matériel que symbolique. Le premier ou haut Moyen Âge constitue une période charnière pour l’étude de ces phénomènes. Il s’agit en effet d’un moment d’intense recomposition sociale, entraînant une concurrence accrue entre les élites, qui tentent àce moment précis de se définir comme groupe. Leurs caractéristiques communes invitent à une étude comparative des lieux de pouvoir présents en Auvergne (c’est-à-dire le ressort de la cité de Clermont), en lesresituant dans le contexte des changements politiques, économiques et sociaux en cours entre la fin du Ve et les premières décennies du Xe siècle. Une telle étude nécessite toutefois une approche interdisciplinaire mêlant l’archéologie, la géographie, l’anthropologie et s’appuyant sur un large éventail de sources, à la fois matérielles ettextuelles. Son objectif est de comprendre les interactions entre les groupes élitaires et les lieux de pouvoir, en fonction de la localisation, mais également des activités et des marqueurs de distinction présents sur ces sites. Elle vise ainsi à mettre en lumière les réseaux dans lesquels les lieux s’inscrivent, en prenant en compte les différents jeuxd’échelle. / Analysis of places of power or “elite sites” helps understand the various strategies of construction and organization of territories by medieval magnates. These places served as vantage points from which they could construct and communicate discourses aimed at justifying, expressing and perpetuating their power, both material and symbolic. The early medieval period is of great importance for these phenomena, because it witnessed intense social recombining, resulting in heightened competition between the elites, which were then trying to define themselves as a coherent group.Thanks to their common characteristics, we can compare places of power in Auvergne (province of the ancient city of Clermont), in the context of the political, economic and social changes of the 6th-10th centuries. To carry out this study, aninterdisciplinary approach is necessary, and it has to rest on a wide range of sources, both written and archaeological ones, and methodological tools, notably from archaeology, geography, anthropology. Its goal is to analyze interactions between elite groups and sites of power, as regards localisation, functions and wealth present on these sites. This study aims to highlight the spatial and social networks these places are part of, on various scales.

Cette thèse analyse les mobilités privilégiées internationales à partir d’une lecture spatiale croisant deux groupes : les backpackers et les hivernants. L'objectif est de comprendre la diversité des rapports aux lieux produits par ces mobilités Nords-Suds principalement guidées par le loisir et de longue durée, dans le cadre d'une mondialisation croissante des modes de vie. Ces deux figures de jeunes itinérants (backpackers) et retraités séjournant l'hiver au soleil(hivernants), sont abordées de façon croisée à travers une enquête de terrain, déclinée respectivement en Thaïlande (Bangkok et Ko Phangan) et au Maroc (Agadir). Au croisement des études touristiques et migratoires, notamment autour des lifestyle migrations, les continuités et reconfigurations des rapports sociaux et des rapports de pouvoirs entre passage et appropriation de l’espace, permettent de saisir la dimension translocale des modes de vie contemporains. Cette thèse analyse finement les pratiques des backpackers et des hivernants dans les territoires du quotidien, les espaces métropolitains et les réseaux transnationaux. Avec les réseaux de sociabilité, ces pratiques témoignent d'une relation complexe à l'Ailleurs et l'Autre. L’ambivalence de ces rapports aux lieux, entre Ici et Ailleurs, requalifie les dualités classiques (tourisme - résidence, quotidien - hors-quotidien). L'imbrication des jeux de pouvoir favorise ces populations mobiles privilégiées dans la construction d'un chez-soi temporaire dans un Ailleurs. Au final, la thèse investit la notion de mondialisation à travers le croisement de ces deux figures de la mobilité. Celles-ci reconfigurent dans une dimension translocale les cadres structurants de lecture des sociétés, au-delà des interprétations uniquement individualistes des dynamiques contemporaines. / This doctoral research analyzes international privileged mobilities crossing two groups in a spatial perspective: backpackers and winter migrants. Mainly driven by leisure, those longtime North-South mobilities, enable to understand the diversity of relationships to places produced by the increasing globalization of lifestyles. Young travellers (backpackers) in Thailand (Bangkok and Ko Phangan) are crossed with retired snow-birds (winter migrants) in Morocco (Agadir). At the intersection of tourism studies and migrations researches, lifestyle migrations analysis question continuities and reconfigurations of social relationships and power games. Passing and appropriation of space reveal the translocal dimension of contemporary lifestyles. This dissertation studies practices of backpackers and snowbirds in everyday territories, metropolitan spaces and transnational networks. Practices and sociability networks underline the complexity of the relationship with Elsewhere and Others. Between Here and There, ambivalent relationships to places question the classic dualities between tourism and home, everyday and extraordinary. Interwoven power games enable those privileged mobile people to build a temporary home Elsewhere. In the end, globalization can be read through those two images of international mobilities. They translocally change the structural reading frame of societies, beyond only individualistic interpretations of contemporary dynamics.

This diploma thesis deals mainly with iconography of miraculous events at selected places of pilgrimage on the background of their factual history and the overall tradition of certain Marian cults. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis of deliberately chosen pilgrimage sites in all cases, with an emphasis on their initial and other specific miraculous events of non-biblical nature concerning primarily the lives of ordinary people. These analyzes provide a basic insight into the general-factographic history of the relevant sites, which is necessary for the detailed examination of the relevant miraculous events. Primary attention is devoted to the analysis of the original miracles of the pilgrimage sites, especially by their depictions. Within the scope of individual pilgrimage sites, this thesis also seeks to analyze all other pictures of the mercy of the Marian. Great emphasis is also placed on written entries of the mentioned miraculous events, which in most cases very probably preceded their picture delineation. The second part of the thesis tries to systemate the results of the researches and compare them with one another. It is a comparison of the miraculous images that are being discussed, which are done mainly in terms of content and in terms of their writing. It is a...

Our work and the organization in which we work play significant roles in many of our lives. Yet, theoretically grounded understanding of when is it that the relationships with our work and that with our work environment make a great place to work is almost non-existent. So far the organizations that feature in the Fortune Best Companies to Work For, or the Forbes the Happiest Companies to Work For, or the Glassdoor Best Places to Work, etc., are considered as proxies for great places to work. However, the characterizations of the antecedents of these workplaces are fragmented, idiosyncratic, and confounding, as they cover a wide span of factors (e.g., pride, job satisfaction, flexibility, inspiring leadership, camaraderie, trust, work-life balance, etc.), and adopt a one-size fits all approach, without a theoretical underpinning, limiting their generalizability and usefulness. In my dissertation, I addressed these shortcomings through the fit perspective and through the mechanism of meaning in and at work. I proposed the meaning-through-fit model of great places to work, underpinned by identity (Stryker & Berke, 2000), social identity (Ashforth & Mael, 1989), and social information processing theories (Salancik & Pfeffer, 1978). The model hypothesized that the employees’ perception of a great place to work is built and sustained by meaning in work (from the relationship with the work itself) based on the underlying person-work fit, and by meaning at work (from the relationship with the work environment) based on the underlying person-supervisor, the person-group, and the person-organization fits. I tested the proposed model using a mixed methods approach, with the help of three Studies. In Study 1, I conducted 26 semi-structured interviews to assess the face validity of the model and to obtain inputs for the survey instrument and for the scenario descriptions to be used in Study 2. In Study 2, I tested the hypothesized model with the help of quantitative data gathered through a three-wave Main Survey with participants from MTurk (N=481), after two Pilot Surveys (N=95 and 247). I confirmed the results through Scenario Analysis with participants from MTurk (N=399). Out of the seven main variables in the proposed model, I developed scales to measure three variables (employees’ perception of a great place to work, meaning at work, and person-group fit), and refined the scales to measure four variables (person-work fit, person-supervisor fit, person-organization fit, and meaning in work). In Study 3, I conducted 45 structured interviews in order to gain a deeper understanding of the findings from Study 2. The quantitative data gathered in Study 2 provided partial support to the proposed model, indicating that meaning in work partly mediated the relationship between person-work fit and employees’ perception of a great places to work, and meaning at work partly mediated the relationship between person-organization fit and employees’ perception of a great place to work. The data also indicated that meaning at work is the more significant predictor compared to meaning in work. Among the fits, person-organization fit mattered the most. Study 3 provided interesting insights and explanations about the findings from Study 2. The meaning-through-fit model of great places to work works around the problematic one-size fits all approach, acknowledges the differences among the employees in the understanding of and expectations from a great places to work, offers increased generalizability and a pathway to leaders to build great places to work from the employees’ perspective, and contributes theoretically and empirically to Positive Organizational Scholarship. / Graduate / 2019-08-26

Reflection of archaeologized landscape elements in ethnographic resources Mgr. Jan Pohunek Abstract: This thesis discusses contemporary folklore interpretations of meanings of abandoned and decaying buildings and other types of artificial immovable monuments. Mutual relations between these interpretations and modes of place usage are also being observed. The research is based on ethnographic survey focused on Czech republic and including primarily interviews with various respondents and crtitical analysis of written, electronic and audiovisual resources. Aside from general part of the research, several sites were chosen as a more in-depth example of formation of meanings belonging to an archaeologizing place, a complex proces influenced by the history of the site, its physical appearance and other attributes. An attached catalogue includes collected contemporary legends related to abandoned places and a system of categorization of their motifs is offered. This collection is further discussed, especially with regard to ways how character of a location and activities that take place here influence appearance of various motifs. In general, it can be said that different abandoned places are also perceived differently and there are groups of motifs that are more characteristic for certain categories of places....

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Carlos Alberto Kamienski / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia da Informação, 2016. / Atualmente é comum as pessoas se conectarem à Internet em lugares públicos como praças, parques e bibliotecas. Algumas cidades oferecem conexão gratuita por WiFi, onde os usuários utilizam a Internet para diversas finalidades, como buscar informações, trocar mensagens e assistir a mídias digitais. A abordagem deste trabalho é a utilização de streaming de vídeo em praças digitais distribuídas pelas diversas regiões da cidade de São Paulo. Foram realizadas análises de desempenho do serviço prestado à comunidade nas cento e vinte praças do programa "WiFi Livre SP", no período de um ano. Para isso, foram utilizadas métricas que avaliam tanto a Qualidade de Experiência (QoE) do usuário, como a Qualidade de Serviço (QoS) da rede. Como resultado, obteve-se uma nova ferramenta de avaliação da Qualidade de Experiência dos usuários em transmissões de streaming de vídeo, bem como as características das praças em relação aos dados analisados, os quais mostram que, para diferentes praças, dias e níveis de qualidade de vídeo, na maioria das vezes, o uso é satisfatório para determinados fins. / Currently it is common for people to connect to the Internet in public places such as squares, parks and libraries. Some cities offer free connection by WiFi, where users use the Internet for various purposes, such as searching for information, exchange messages and watch digital media. The approach of this work is the use of video streaming in digital squares distributed among different regions of São Paulo. Performance tests of this service to the community were carried out in the 120 squares belonging to the "WiFi Livre SP program" in one year. For this we used metrics that assess both the Quality of Experience (QoE) of the user, such as Quality of Service (QoS) network. As a result we obtained a new evaluation tool of Quality of Experience of users in streaming videos, and the characteristics of the squares on the data analyzed which show that for different places, days and levels of video quality, in most of the time the use is satisfactory for particular purposes.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Esta tese tem o objetivo geral de investigar a associação entre estresse e acidentes no trabalho em funcionários técnico-administrativos efetivos de uma universidade pública no Rio de Janeiro por meio de modelos multiníveis. Para alcançar tal objetivo, a tese foi distribuída em dois artigos. O primeiro artigo investiga a associação entre estresse e acidentes no trabalho considerando componentes hierárquicos da estrutura dos dados por meio de modelos multiníveis com funcionários no primeiro nível agrupados em setores de trabalho no segundo nível. O segundo artigo investiga o comportamento dos coeficientes fixos e aleatórios dos modelos multiníveis com classificação cruzada entre setores de trabalho e grupos ocupacionais em relação aos modelos multiníveis que consideram apenas componentes hierárquicos dos setores de trabalho, ignorando o ajuste dos grupos ocupacionais. O estresse psicossocial no trabalho foi abordado a partir das relações entre alta demanda psicológica e baixo controle do processo laboral, Estas dimensões foram captadas por meio da versão resumida da escala Karasek, que também contém informações sobre o apoio social no trabalho. Dimensões isoladas do estresse no trabalho (demanda e controle), razão entre demanda psicológica e controle do trabalho (Razão D/C) e o apoio social no trabalho foram mensurados no nível individual e nos setores de trabalho. De modo geral, os resultados destacam a demanda psicológica mensurada no nível individual como um importante fator associado à ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho. O apoio social no trabalho, mensurado no nível individual e no setor de trabalho, apresentou associação inversa à prevalência de acidentes de trabalho, sendo, no setor, acentuada entre as mulheres. Os resultados também mostram que os parâmetros fixos dos modelos com e sem classificação cruzada foram semelhantes e que, de modo geral, os erros padrões (EP) foram um pouco maiores nos modelos com classificação cruzada, apesar deste comportamento do EP não ter sido observado quando relacionado aos coeficientes fixos das variáveis agregadas no setor de trabalho. A maior distinção entre as duas abordagens foi observada em relação aos coeficientes aleatórios relacionados aos setores de trabalho, que alteraram substancialmente após ajustar o efeito da ocupação por meio dos modelos com classificação cruzada. Este estudo reforça a importância de características psicossociais na ocorrência de acidentes de trabalho e contribui para o conhecimento dessas relações a partir de abordagens analíticas que refinam a captação da estrutura de dependência dos indivíduos em seu ambiente de trabalho. Sugere-se a realização de outros estudos com metodologia similar, que permitam aprofundar o conhecimento sobre estresse e acidentes no trabalho. / This thesis has the general aim of investigating the association between stress and accidents at work with public employees at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, by means of multilevel models. To reach this goal, this study has been distributed into two articles. The first one investigates the association between stress and accidents at work taking into consideration hierarchic components in the data structure by means of multilevel models with employees in the first level grouped in working areas in the second level. The second article investigates the behavior of random and fixed coefficients of the multilevel models with cross classification between working areas and occupational groups in relation to the multilevel models which only take into consideration hierarchic components of the working areas, ignoring the adjustment of occupational groups. The psychosocial stress at work was approached from the relation between high psychological demand and low labor process control. These dimensions were taken by means of the summarized version of the Karasek scale, which also contains information about the social support at work. Isolated dimensions of work stress (demand and control), the ratio between psychological demand and work control (ratio D/C) and the social support at work were measured at individual level and at working areas. Generally speaking, the results highlighted the psychological demand measured at individual level with a major aspect associated to accidents occurrence at work. The social support at work, measured at individual level and in the working area, presented inverted association to the prevalence of accidents at work, that association being more present among women. The results also show that the fixed parameters of the models with and without cross classification were similar and that, in general, the stander errors (SE) were a little bigger in the models with cross classification, although this behavior of the SE hasnt been observed when related to the fixed coefficient of the variable measured at working area. The major distinction between the two approaches was observed in relation to random coefficients related to the working areas, which were highly altered after adjusting the effect of the occupation by means of models with cross classification. This thesis reinforces the importance of psychosocial characteristics in the occurrence of accidents at work and contributes to the knowledge of these relations from analytical approaches which refine the gathering of the dependence structure of individuals in their working place. Its suggested that other studies with similar methodologies are made, that would allow us to go deep in the knowledge of stress and accidents at work.

Desde longa data, o ensino superior brasileiro vem sendo alvo de muita polêmica e questionamentos por causa, principalmente, da questão da sua democratização. A origem tardia da universidade brasileira, associada ao caráter elitista, faz com que este nível de escolarização esteja sendo questionado sempre pela incapacidade de absorver toda a demanda existente. Visando a superação dessa situação, lutas históricas foram e vêm sendo travadas, importantes intelectuais, o movimento estudantil, as associações de docentes e de técnicos em educação, cada um a seu modo, vem cobrando a abertura da universidade pública a setores da sociedade até então dela excluídos. Neste ínterim, tem sido importante a contribuição dos movimentos sociais negros que introduziram nesse debate a exigência de políticas de ação afirmativa (PAA), com vista à inclusão desse segmento no ensino superior público. Portanto a PAA figura como um novo ingrediente na luta pela democratização do ensino superior. A reivindicação pelas ações afirmativas ganhou espaço e relevância, ao ponto de ser reconhecida pelo governo e traduzida em posicionamento favorável do Brasil na Conferência de Durban de 2001. A partir de então, o debate aprofundou no país. Como resultado, diversas instituições de ensino superior (IES), por força de leis ou motivadas por decisões de seus conselhos superiores, adotam alguma modalidade de política de ação afirmativa: cota, reserva de vaga, bônus, etc. Nesse contexto, a Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto, no ano de 2008, por meio do seu Conselho de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão (CEPE), decidiu assegurar que30% das vagas, em cada um dos seus cursos de graduação, deveriam ser ocupadas por estudantes egressos de escolas públicas. A Política de Ação Afirmativa da UFOP é, portanto,o objeto de estudo dessa dissertação, que procurou identificar se tal medida pode ser considerada uma contribuição para o processo de democratização do ensino superior. A pesquisa realizada analisou o perfil socioeconômico e cultural e a trajetória acadêmica de estudantes que ingressaram na UFOP no ano de 2009, considerando-se a sua condição de participante ou não da PAA. A constatação foi a de que, ainda que modestamente e a despeito da necessidade de ajustes que a mesma possa requerer, o perfil dos estudantes da UFOP vem se alterando: pessoas oriundas de segmentos antes pouco representados estão se beneficiando com a ampliação dos cursos de graduação da instituição / Long time, the Brazilian higher education has been the subject of much controversy and questions due mainly to the question of its democratization. The late origin of the Brazilian university, associated with its elitist character, especially in relation to the number of places offered, makes this level of schooling is always being asked by their inability to absorb all the demand. In order to overcome this situation, historical struggles have been and are being fought, leading intellectuals, the student movement, associations of teachers and educational technicians, each in its own way, has been charging the opening of a public university sectors of society so far excluded from it. In the meantime, has been important the contribution of black social movements in the debate which introduced the requirement of affirmative action, to include this segment in higher education. Goes like the affirmative action policies are, as a new ingredient in the struggle for the democratization of higher education. The demand for the shares gained affirmative space and relevance, to the point of being recognized by the government and reflected in the favorable position of Brazil in the 2001 Durban Conference. Since then, the debate deepened his defense in the country. As a result, several higher education institutions, by virtue of laws or decisions motivated by advice of his superiors, have adopted some form of affirmative action, quotas, reservations of seats, bonuses, etc.. In this context, the Federal University of Ouro Preto, in 2008, through its Board of Education, Research and Extension, has decided to ensure that 30% of seats in each of its undergraduate courses, students should be occupied by graduates public schools. The Affirmative Action Policy of UFOP is therefore the object of study of this dissertation, which sought to identify whether such a measure can be considered a contribution to the democratization of higher education. The survey examined the socioeconomic and cultural and academic life of students entering the UFOP in 2009, considering its status as a participant or not Affirmative Action Policy. The finding was that, although modestly and despite the need for adjustments that it may require the student profile is changing the UFOP. People from underrepresented segments before they start experiencing its expansion in undergraduate courses of the institution

However, some studies have pointed that even when these institutions carry on biodiversity conservation actions, this subject may be presented in their educational activities or exhibitions. To investigate the potential of zoos in Environmental Education for biodiversity, we chose the cougar (Puma concolor) conservation as motivating topic. It was selected for the reason that this specie is important to biodiversity maintenance in São Paulo State and because there are many challenges in education for big predators conservation. The purpose of this study was to identify environmental education for the cougar conservation strategic actions that zoos could be do; to discuss the educational intent on animal’s exhibition in zoos nowadays; and to analyze the cougar grounds for their potential as facilities that educates for the conservation of this specie. Adopting Freire principles, that grounds the critical environmental education and a hermeneutic research approach, this thesis was set up as a collective instrumental qualitative study case. The research had a diagnostic stage involving five zoos from Sao Paulo northeastern, in which the research first purpose was developed, and a further analysis stage performed with three of these institutions to address the other two purposes of this study. To collect information, we mainly use zoos technical and educational teams interviews, exhibition and cougar exhibit observations; and, finely, informative stuff, websites and technical documents analyses focused on enclosures and animals. The main result of diagnostic was that any specific cougar educational activity had been performed. But, the issue was extremely important for these institutions, which reported many cougars rescues, including some that occurred with animals on display. The teams believe that activities such as campaigns between Sao Paulo State zoos could improve the development of educational stuffs and facilities that educates for this specie conservation. From second stage of the research, we highlight there are two purposes regarding to animals display: firstly it’s to provide close contact with animals and secondly it’s to educate people for nature conservation. These purposes are coherent with zoos conservation goals and environmental education actions. Although, on an educational exhibition it is necessary to set up the balance between elements that explore each one of these purposes. In this sense, the analysis of cougar exhibits shows that the enclosures and its labels doesn’t has been focused on biodiversity conservation. Mediation about this topic it has been done mainly by educators. That reveals enclosures weaknesses on role as facilities that educates, but their potential could be expanded with additional information inclusion that contextualizes the cougar in their locality. / Os zoológicos são instituições que abrigam diversos espécimes da fauna nativa e que possuem grande potencialidade de contribuírem na educação ambiental para a conservação da biodiversidade. Contudo, alguns trabalhos vêm apontando, que mesmo quando essas instituições realizam ações de conservação da biodiversidade, essa temática pode não estar presente em suas ações educativas ou em suas exposições. Para investigarmos o potencial dos zoológicos nas ações de educação ambiental para a biodiversidade, escolhemos como tema motivador a conservação da onça parda (Puma concolor). Esse tema foi escolhido em função da importância da conservação dessa espécie para a manutenção da biodiversidade no interior do estado de São Paulo e dos desafios existentes nas ações de educação para a conservação de grandes predadores. Os objetivos foram: identificar linhas de ação nas quais os zoológicos podem atuar na educação ambiental para a conservação das onças pardas; discutir a intencionalidade educadora na exposição dos animais em zoológicos na atualidade; e analisar os recintos de onças pardas avaliando seu potencial enquanto estruturas educadoras para a conservação dessa espécie. Com base em princípios freirianos que fundamentam a perspectiva crítica de educação ambiental e em uma abordagem hermenêutica de pesquisa, esse trabalho se constituiu como um estudo de caso qualitativo instrumental coletivo. A pesquisa teve uma etapa de diagnóstico junto a cinco zoológicos do nordeste paulista, com os quais foi desenvolvido o primeiro objetivo, e uma etapa de análise aprofundada, realizada junto a três dessas instituições para executar os outros dois objetivos do estudo. Para a coleta de informações utilizamos principalmente entrevistas às equipes técnicas e educativas das instituições participantes, observações das exposições e dos recintos de onça parda e análises de materiais informativos, sites e de documentos técnicos sobre os recintos e animais. Como principal resultado do diagnóstico obtivemos que nenhuma atividade educativa específica sobre a onça parda havia sido realizada, mas que o tema era extremamente relevante para as instituições, pois foram relatados atendimentos de onças pardas acidentadas, incluindo os animais que estão em exposição. As equipes consideraram que atividades como campanhas articuladas entre os zoológicos paulistas poderiam ser positivas para o desenvolvimento de material didático e estruturas educadoras para a conservação da espécie. Da segunda fase da pesquisa, destacamos como principais resultados a existência de duas intencionalidades com relação à exposição dos animais: proporcionar o contato próximo com o animal e educar as pessoas para a conservação da natureza. Essas intencionalidades são coerentes com os objetivos de conservação e educação ambiental dos zoológicos. No entanto, para que uma exposição seja educativa é importante que haja um balanço entre elementos que abordem cada uma delas. Nesse sentido a análise dos recintos de onça parda revelou que a contextualização promovida pela estrutura física dos recintos e pelas placas não possuem focos na conservação da biodiversidade. A mediação para essa temática é feita principalmente pelas educadoras e educadores. Isso revela fragilidades nos recintos enquanto estruturas educadoras, que podem ter suas potencialidades ampliadas com a inserção de elementos complementares que auxiliem na contextualização da onça parda na realidade local.

Third places provide neutral ground for people to express themselves freely, necessary for civil society and civic engagement, helping to create in their regulars the feeling of belonging. Parks, cafes, bakeries, museums, theaters, churches, bars and squares are examples of third places. These places have a key role in community life forging their cultural profile. Such places are characterized by being democratic and accessible, allowing people to discuss politics, the last football game, or the next music festivals, strengthening the notion of community. However, the modern lifestyle and the potential lack of third places can lead people to be more solitary or even have fewer opportunities to attend places that promote socialization, affecting the quality of life and the sense of community. In this context, this research explores how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can provide people opportunities for socializing in a third place, but unlike Oldenburg, independent of the location constraints and time, creating the phenomenon defined as thirdplaceness. Thus, it is expected to use ICTs to go beyond the traditional third places, providing opportunities for people to meet and socialize, reinforcing and extending the concept of third place, as well as confronting the stigma of isolation using technologies. To experience the support of ICTs to thirdplaceness even when there is no conventional third places to bring the community together, it is considered in this proposal the development and the use of an ICT interactive public art installation, called WishBoard. This installation explores the potential of interactions between mobile devices and public displays, allowing people to share with the community messages and their individual aspirations. This public sharing would be the opportunity for people to socialize in that space during the deployment. From the analysis of the shared messages, it was analyzed the role of ICTs to promote thirdplaceness and found evidence the cultural profile of the community in the shared anonymous messages. Considering the content of messages and the behavior of people, it was noticed that the use of public displays combined with interaction on mobile devices can promote a transformation of the place into a meeting place and conversation when they provide a way for individual self-expression and contemplation by the community that expression, causing engagement among people. / Terceiros espaços (do inglês, third places), termo cunhado pelo sociólogo Ray Oldenburg para descrever outros locais que não a casa (primeiro espaço) nem o local de trabalho (segundo espaço), locais que as pessoas frequentam para se socializarem com outros além dos colegas de trabalho e da família. Os terceiros espaços fornecem o espaço neutro para as pessoas se expressarem livremente, necessário para a sociedade civil e o engajamento cívico, ajudando a criar nos seus frequentadores o sentimento de pertencimento. Parques, cafés, padarias, museus, teatros, igrejas, bares e praças são exemplos de terceiros espaços. Esses locais têm um papel fundamental na vida das comunidades forjando o perfil cultural delas. Tais locais são caracterizados por serem democráticos e acessíveis, permitindo que as pessoas discutam política, o último jogo de futebol, ou o show que vai acontecer, fortalecendo assim a noção de comunidade. Contudo, o estilo de vida moderno e a potencial falta de terceiros espaços podem levar as pessoas a serem mais solitárias ou mesmo a terem menos oportunidades para frequentar locais que promovam a socialização, afetando a qualidade de vida e a noção de comunidade. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa explora como as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) podem proporcionar às pessoas oportunidades de socialização em um terceiro espaço, mas diferente de Oldenburg, independente das restrições de localidade e de tempo, criando o fenômeno definido como thirdplaceness. Assim, almeja-se usar as TICs para ir além dos tradicionais terceiros espaços, provendo oportunidades às pessoas de se reunirem e se socializarem, reforçando e estendendo o conceito de terceiro espaço, bem como confrontando o estigma de isolamento pelo uso de tecnologias. Para experimentar o apoio de TICs ao thirdplaceness mesmo quando não se tem terceiros espaços convencionais para reunir a comunidade, considera-se neste trabalho o desenvolvimento e uso de uma instalação computacional pública e interativa chamada WishBoard.
