O aluno é uma invenção. Nem sempre existiu na história essa categoria que entendemos por aluno. A partir apenas do final do século XIX é que se pode falar em sua emergência. Assim, é também a partir daí que se inicia o processo de produção de uma nova subjetividade das crianças e dos jovens. A escola, instituição responsável por acolhê-los, é o principal agente dessa produção. Fabricar alunos torna-se sua especialização. O presente trabalho procurou discutir, ao mesmo tempo, dois aspectos dessa questão: a) a invenção do aluno como algo não acabado e definitivo, sendo produzida diariamente no cotidiano escolar; b) a associação da invenção do aluno não ao poder possuído pela escola, mas às relações de poder exercidas no seu interior. Para isso, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de campo no intuito de observar práticas e discursos escolares que tomavam o aluno como questão. Uma escola pública estadual de ensino médio foi escolhida e o trabalho de campo realizado no decorrer dos anos de 2008 e 2009. Conversas com os alunos foram registradas no final de cada um dos anos e completaram o material de pesquisa. Inspirada na concepção de relações de poder do pensador francês Michel Foucault (1926-1984), elaborou-se uma análise que pretendeu explorar algumas das possibilidades e dos efeitos das relações de poder estabelecidas no interior da escola em termos de uma invenção cotidiana do aluno. Uma das ideias que pôde ser extraída daí é que a invenção do aluno não necessita de práticas e discursos fixos e específicos para sua realização, mas pode ser pensada como inúmeras invenções que seriam possíveis a partir de jogos, disputas, imprevisibilidades e possibilidades de inversão, abertas pelas relações escolares de poder. Ademais, procurou-se experimentar um olhar e uma escrita aberta ao acaso, ao singular, ao imprevisto, ao variado e ao repetido, multiplicados pela concepção de poder que foi assumida. / The student is an invention. Such category has not always existed in History. Only after the late 19th century it is possible to speak not only of its emergence but also the process of producing a new subjectivity of the child and the young. The school, responsible for welcoming them, is the principal agent of this production whose expertise is to make students. The present study outlines two aspects of that at the same time: a) the invention of the student as a non-ending process, being produced daily in the school routine, b) the association of the student invention not with the power possessed by school, but with the power relations exercised inside of it. In order to do so, a field research has been developed to observe practices and student discourses which took the student as an issue. A state high school was chosen and the field work conducted during the years 2008 and 2009. Conversations with students were registered at the end of each year and completed the research material. Inspired by the conception of power relations developed by French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), an analysis has been carried out which sought to explore some of the possibilities and the effects of power relations established within the school in terms of an everyday invention of the student. This brought the idea that the invention of the student does not require fixed and specific practices and discourses to its implementation. Instead, it can be thought of an array of inventions made possible through games, contests, unpredictability as well as possibilities of inversion, that would possible by the school power relations. Furthermore, we have tried to adopt a look and a written open to fortuitousness, the singular, the unexpected, the varied and repeated, multiplied by the conception of power that was hereby assumed.

Space is appropriated, and becomes territory - a political space par excellence because of these power relations in different scalar levels. Analyzing the expansion of the city of São Paulo, we focus on its influence in the formation of the are a of Grande São Paulo, of the city of Cotia, and especially of Vargem Grande Paulista, in order to highlight how those territories were and still are strongly linked. This is a research ln Political Geography, which will discuss the articulation and influence of local, national and Grande Paulista's land planning capitalism development, which homogenizes space / o presente trabalho tem como principal objetivo evidenciar, através da cidade de Vargem Grande Paulista, que os territórios são formados e mediados pela coexistência de diferentes forças em disputa por poder econômico, politico e territorial. É através das relações de poder, em seus diferentes níveis escalares, que o espaço é apropriado e passa para a condição de território, um espaço político por excelência. Percorremos a expansão da cidade de São Paulo, focando na sua influência na formação da Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, da cidade de Cotia e principalmente de Vargem Grande Paulista, destacando assim como esses territórios estiveram e ainda estão fortemente interligados. Trata-se de um trabalho de Geografia Política, que discutirá a articulação e influência dos poderes local, nacional e global no ordenamento territorial de: Vargem Grande Paulista, vistas pelo viés do desenvolvimento do sistema capitalista global e da homogeneização dos espaços que ele carrega consigo

Syftet med denna uppsats är att förklara hur kamratgrupperingar och sociala hierarkier utgör en väsentlig del av samt leder till mobbning bland skolungdomar. Detta har genomförts med kvalitativ meta-analys av forskningsartiklar, som har tolkats utifrån sociologiska teorier om stigmatisering och miniatyrsamhälleliga gruppers maktförhållanden. Resultatet har framställts genom en grounded theory ansats och analyserats utifrån meta-analytisk metod samt diskursanalytisk ontologi. Resultatet och analysen indikerar att kamratgrupperingar och hierarkier utgör skeden av komplexa händelseförlopp, från skolklassers sammansättningar fram till att mobbning utbryter. Konklusionerna av detta är att det behövs vidare fördjupningar av olika orsakssamband i framtida forskning. Sambanden behöver även uppmärksammas för att motverka hierarkiska skiljelinjer mellan kamratgrupper när man förebygger och avstyr mobbning. / The purpose of this essay is to explain how peer groups and social hierarchies are an essential part of, and generate bullying among school adolescents. This has been conducted through qualitative meta-analysis of research articles, which have been interpreted through sociological theories on stigmatization and power relationships between minor social groups. The results are presented through a grounded theory approach and analyzed by meta-analytic methods and discourse analytic ontology. The analysis indicates that peer groups and social hierarchies are stages of complex social processes, between the formations of school classes up until bullying breaks out. The essay concludes that further research of each causal relationship is needed in future research. The causalities also need to be considered when preventing social hierarchies and intervening in school bullying situations.

Cette thèse s’appuie sur les expériences professionnelles de voyage de commerçantestransnationales angolaises qui voyagent à l’étranger pour rapporter des produitsmanufacturés (vêtements, chaussures, accessoires féminins) qu’elles transportentdirectement dans leurs valises sans déclarer l’objectif commercial de leur activité. Cecommerce, pratiqué sur l’ensemble du continent africain s’est intensifiée en Angolaavec la fin de la guerre en 2002 et l’ouverture des relations internationales avec despartenaires comme le Portugal, le Brésil, Dubaï et la Chine. Ce travail analyse deuxvagues de mobilités commerciales féminines : de l’Angola vers le Brésil et de l’Angolavers la Chine. S’intéressant aux rôles spécifiques des femmes africaines sur troisespaces, l’observation menée sur les marchés de São Paulo, Luanda et Canton s’inscritdans la perspective de la globalisation « par le bas ». Interrogeant les processusémancipatoires, ce travail cherche à vérifier si la circulation commerciale permet auxfemmes de prendre conscience des rapports de pouvoir qui les marginalisent et dedévelopper leur capacité à les transformer. Cependant, la thèse défendue est que lescaractéristiques de l’économie « parallèle » où les frontières entre le légal, l’illégal, lelicite et l’illicite se confondent, conditionnent les capacités d’autonomisation desfemmes et pénalisent la revendication de leurs droits. À l’heure de l’accélération de laglobalisation des échanges entre pays du Sud, cette thèse a pour ambition de donnerune vision intimiste et féministe de la mobilité en suivant le parcours et les récits devie de plusieurs femmes angolaises entre le Brésil, l’Angola et la Chine. / This thesis is based on the professional experiences of a small group of transnationalAngolan traders how travel abroad to bring back manufactured products (clothing,shoes, and women’s accessories) that they transport in their suitcases withoutdeclaring the commercial aim of this activity. After the end of the Angolan civil war in2002, allowing for the opening of international relations with partners such asPortugal, Brazil, Dubai and China, the feminization of this commercial practiceintensified. This thesis analyzes these phenomena through different case studiesinvolving two waves of female transnational traders: the first being from Angola toBrazil, and the second from Angola to China. By investigating the specific roles ofthese African women in the three different spaces where they were observed, themarkets of São Paulo, Luanda and Guangzhou, the research fits into the perspectiveof globalization from below. By investigating these emancipatory processes, thisresearch attempts to verify if this commercial activity allows the women to becomeconscious of the power relations that marginalize them and whether thisconsciousness develops the capacity to transform them. However, the thesis defendedhere assumes that the characteristics of the “parallel” economy, where the bordersblur between legal and illegal, licit and illicit, condition the capacities of the women’sempowerment and put them at a disadvantage in the collective demands for theirrights. At of time when globalization is accelerating, this study endeavors to give anintimate, feminist vision of mobility through the journey and the life stories of variousAngolan women as they travel between Brazil, Angola and China.

How much was a medieval monastery reminiscent of a modern prison? Or insane asylum? And if it was in the least - what can such a metaphor tell us about power relations structuring the life of medieval monks? The purpose of this compilation thesis (sammanläggningsavhandling) is to render explicit and analyze relations of power and modes of control comprising the social tissue of early medieval Benedictine monasteries. By bringing up the examples of tenth- and eleventh-century monasteries of St Gall, Fulda, and Bury St Edmunds, this thesis seeks to understand what power was in medieval monasteries, how and between whom it was exercised, what and how it affected in terms of collective and individual identity. The thesis consists of three introductory chapters, four previously published empirical articles, and a concluding remarks section. Article 1 investigates the problem of surveillance and patterns of social control dispersed in the monastery of St Gall. Article 2 studies the early and high medieval institutional expectations and means of enforcement of the monk’s role. Article 3 scrutinizes an example of a persecution process and a set of defense measures in the hands of the St Gall community warding off an unwanted visitor. Article 4 examines a number of internal monastic conflicts from several monasteries and strategies, both political and cognitive, guiding them. In investigating these problems, the thesis proceeds in a manner of deliberate anachronism. It asks questions about how human subjectivity was manufactured in early medieval St Gall, what were a medieval monastery’s ‘conditions of possibility’ to operate as a social regime, or oral and literary means of conflict management etc. The crucial modern social theories on which the thesis hinges are: Erving Goffman’s notion of ‘total institution’, and Michel Foucault’s analysis of power, as well as Pierre Bourdieu’s logic of action.

With an explicit focus on how power is enacted and what this produces in the everyday lives of chronically ill women living on B.C. disability income support (BC Benefits), this research is located at the contested juxtaposition of what I refer to as three fields of possibility; feminism, poststructuralism and critical disability studies. Each of these fields suggests methodological, empirical and interpretive readings that enable me to produce different knowledge, differently, about disabled women’s lives. Using verbatim narrative accounts from in-depth interviews focused on how each of four participants live their lives, take care of themselves, and make sense of and respond to the government policy and practices to which they are subject, reveals everyday, embodied practices of the self that constitute their subjectivities as disabled women. Together, these accounts along with critically interpretive reflections reveal/expose/make visible the lives of these women in response to exercises of power in ways that unseat, unsettle and disrupt taken-for-granted understandings of those who are disabled, female and poor. Along with explicating power relations in the lives of disabled women and what these produce, I also link these critically to their health, socio-economic well-being and citizenship, while creating a disruptive reading that destabilizes common-sense notions about disabled women securing B.C. provincial income support benefits. Thus my research purposes and those of my disability activism are melded as these intersect within the (often-contested) borders of poststructural and social justice terrain. Despite public claims by the B. C. government to foster the independence, participation in community and citizenship of disabled people in B.C., the intersection of government policy and practices and how they are read and taken up by the women, produce profound uncertainty in their lives, such that these women become uncertain subjects. Living poorly, they experience structural poverty, compromised well-being and “dis-citizenship” (Devlin & Pothier, 2006), all inconvenient facts reflecting a marked disjuncture between how government programs are publicly represented and their strategic effects. / Graduate

The first article talks to the literature on federalism from the perspective of vertical power relations, with a view to understanding the relations between various levels of power. Although there is already a large body of literature on the theme, the theoretical gap of the first article consists of power rearrangements (centralization and decentralization), considering all players and not just this relation between central government and subnational governments. The second article is a reflection on horizontal power relations at the state level, with the following guiding question: “What are the causal conditions that lead some states to have increased political power before their peers?” To do this, two empirical cases of great representativeness were selected: Brazil and the United States of America (USA), analyzed since their independence having the path dependence literature as a basis, considering only causal conditions at the macro level. The third article is also inserted in the horizontal power relations, nevertheless, its analysis field consists in the Brazilian municipalities. The latter have great contemporary relevance, due to their key role in the execution of public policies. / Esta tese segue o modelo de três artigos, tendo como plano de fundo as relações de poder dentro das federações. O primeiro artigo dialoga com a literatura acerca do federalismo pela ótica das relações verticais de poder, com vistas a compreender as relações entre diferentes níveis de poder. Embora já exista ampla literatura relativa ao tema, a lacuna teórica do primeiro artigo consiste nos rearranjos de poder (centralização e descentralização), considerando todos os atores e não apenas essa relação entre governo central e governos subnacionais. O segundo artigo constitui uma reflexão sobre as relações horizontais de poder no plano estadual, com a seguinte questão norteadora: “Quais são as condições causais que levam alguns estados a ter um aumento de poder político perante seus pares?”. Para tanto, foram selecionados dois casos empíricos de grande representatividade: Brasil e Estados Unidos da América (EUA), analisados desde sua independência com base na literatura de rota dependência, considerando apenas condições causais no nível macro. O terceiro artigo também está inserido nas relações horizontais de poder, no entanto, seu campo de análise consiste nos municípios brasileiros. Estes apresentam grande relevância contemporânea, devido ao seu papel fundamental na execução de políticas públicas.

Abortion is a publicly contentious topic as it speaks to and draws on localized understandings of body politics, abortion beliefs, women’s role in society, the sanctity of life, and the role of the state. South Africa’s liberal abortion law has led to the removal of abortion restrictions at the macro-structural level. However, cultural and religious constraints at individual and community levels continue to exist as barriers to women’s access to safe abortion which may put women’s lives at risk. These constraints to safe abortion were explored through giving attention to the context of the participants so as to comprehend the nature of the resistance as well as to understand constructions and perceptions of abortion. This study used a combination of frameworks: the African epistemologies, Judith Butler’s performativity theory and Foucault’s notion of power. Data was collected through individual interviews and focus group conversations with women aged 25-40 in a rural Bushbuckridge area of South Africa and analyzed using Parker’s discourse analysis approach. The results of the study revealed competing and contradicting discourses which provide multiple voices and realities. It highlighted discourses that emanate from African traditional epistemologies that view abortion as a taboo that is punishable by draught and shortage of agricultural products, illness, infertility and contamination of the body, which require ritual performances to alleviate. Furthermore, the findings showed the complexities of sexual reproductive decisions by alluding to conditions of poverty; gender based violence, gendered power relations as well as economic inequality. The findings of this study challenge us to be open-minded and mindful of other realities as scholars, policy makers and advocates of change in order to bring about meaningful and acceptable context appropriate change. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology: Research Consultation)
