Esta dissertação investiga o educativo na Marcha Mundial de Mulheres, partindo da premissa de que os movimentos sociais populares são também espaços de educação. A opção pelo materialismo histórico dialético, como método, não é nada fácil no atual momento histórico. Isso porque este método exige uma rigorosa análise das múltiplas determinações que atravessam a sociedade de classes, mormente a atual. Assim, buscar condicionamentos e rupturas torna-se difícil num mundo acadêmico que busca fatiar o conhecimento e negar a possibilidade de captar a totalidade do real. Foram adotadas como metodologia: a observação participante, a pesquisa bibliográfica em materiais impressos e a análise de instrumentos audiovisuais. Análises de entrevistas semi-estruturadas também se fizeram necessárias. Como referência teórica fundamental trabalhou-se com os conceitos de anúncio e denúncia, de Paulo Freire, permitindo concluir, com isso, que a Marcha Mundial das Mulheres educa suas militantes em todos os aspectos da vida, além de alfabetizá-las politicamente para intervenção no mundo, incluindo os espaços públicos e privados. E com este movimento de anúncio e denúncia, proposto por Freire, observa-se que é possível construir o inédito viável, ou, mais propriamente, uma utopia realizável. / This dissertation investigates the educational at the World March of Women, on the premise that popular social movements are also educational spaces. The choice of dialectical historical materialism as a method, it is not easy in the current historical moment. That's because this method requires a rigorous analysis of multiple determinations that cross class society, especially the current one. So look for conditions and disruptions becomes difficult in academia that seeks slice knowledge and deny the possibility of grasping the totality of reality. They were adopted as methodology: participant observation, the literature in printed materials and analysis of audiovisual instruments. Analysis of semi-structured interviews also were required. As a fundamental theoretical reference work was done with advertising concepts and denunciation of Paulo Freire, allowing to conclude, therefore, that the World March of Women educates its militants in all aspects of life, as well as literate them politically for intervention world, including public and private spaces. And with this announcement motion and complaint, proposed by Freire, it is observed that it is possible to build viable unpublished, or, more properly, an achievable utopia.

This research project examines multiple constructions of masculinity during the reign of William III (1689-1702), a period often overlooked by historians of masculinity. Historical interpretations of masculinity in the early modern period have focused heavily on patriarchal models of masculinity and the accompanying gendered relationships and expectations associated with the household. Recently, historians have turned their attention to cultures of politeness and civility in the public sphere. Yet masculinity in this period was more diverse than these prominent models allow because it could be constructed through a number of different processes. Using normative literature and experiential records, this project seeks to add to the scholarship on nonpatriarchal constructions, understandings, and norms of masculinity. Four non-domestic settings were particularly prominent and recurrent throughout the autobiographical sources and normative literature of the period: the military, government and public service, commerce, and religion. The norms associated with each setting were complex. Moreover, these norms sometimes varied between settings in ways that created tension. Negotiating masculinity in accordance with the normative expectations of various settings could be taxing. Each of these four settings constitutes a chapter in this dissertation, along with a final chapter that shifts the focus beyond the British Isles to how British colonists, travellers, and traders experienced the foreign hardships, climates, and peoples of the geographical periphery, which often necessitated further alternative constructions of masculinity. Grounded upon men's experience recorded in their own words in diaries, journals, and memoirs, this project highlights the numerous ways of establishing manhood and demonstrates the variability of masculinity as an identity that is both subjective and socially contingent. Examining settings of masculinity outside of the household and beyond male female relations at the turn of the eighteenth century confirms that masculinity is multiple, nuanced, complicated, and (at times) anxious.

Orientador: Milton Lahuerta / Banca: Maria Alice Rezende de Carvalho / Banca: Renata Medeiros Paoliello / Resumo: Este trabalho visa a analisar formas de manifestação da violência como aspecto estruturante da sociedade brasileira do século XIX, a partir de três eixos: Escravidão, Patriarcalismo e Ciência. Tomando-se como referência a obra do escritor Machado de Assis e, mais especificamente sua obra como contista, empreendemos um estudo de dez de seus contos, os quais fornecem, por meio da representação crítica que o escritor faz da sociedade de sua época, elementos fundamentais para se investigar de que forma a violência exercida por meio da Escravidão, do Patriarcalismo e da Ciência aparece modelando as ações, relações e instituições sociais. Os contos escolhidos foram: "Virginius" (1864), "Mariana" (1871), "O relógio de ouro" (1873), "Folha rota" (1878), "Verba testamentária" (1882), "Conto alexandrino" (1883), "A causa secreta" (1885), "O caso da vara" (1891), "O enfermeiro" (1896) e "Pai contra mãe" (1905). Com isso, pretendemos contribuir tanto para uma interpretação da literatura como importante meio de crítica social quanto para uma melhor compreensão da obra de Machada de Assis, especialmente de seus contos. / Abstract: This work intends to analyze some ways on which violence manifests itself as a structuring aspect of the Brazilian society of 19th century, through three axes: Slavery, Patriarchy and Science. Taking as reference Machado de Assis's work and, more specially, his work as a short stories writer, we have studied ten of his short stories which provide, through the critical representation that the writer does about his society, fundamental matters to research on how the violence due by Slavery, Patriarchy and Science appears shaping social actions, relations and institutions. The chosen short stories were: "Virginius" (1864), "Mariana" (1871), "O relógio de ouro" (1873), "Folha rota" (1878), "Verba testamentária" (1882), "Conto alexandrino" (1883), "A causa secreta" (1885), "O caso da vara" (1891), "O enfermeiro" (1896) e "Pai contra mãe" (1905). Thus, we intent to contribute to the literature interpretation as an important means to social criticism, as much as, to give a contribution to an accurate understanding of Machado de Assis's work, especially his short stories. / Mestre
