The subject of this thesis is an exegetical study on chapter thirty-eight of the book Genesis; a narrative of the story about Judah and Tamar. The thesis begins with a critical analysis of the original Hebrew text. In the second section, a critical examination of the text is undertaken using synchronous and diachronous methods, followed by a verse-by-verse commentary which includes three excursuses. The first excursus discusses levirate marriage. The second is concerned with Hebrew word הקדש and with its meaning and translation. The theme of the third excursus is the understanding of righteousness as social solidarity in the Old Testament. Subsequently, in the final section of the thesis, the reception of Genesis 38 in the Old and New Testaments is considered. Furthermore, four examples of reception and interpretation throughout Christian history are presented: The Book of Jubilees, Commentary on Genesis by Ephrem the Syrian, Martin Luther's Lectures on Genesis and an interpretation by Dorothee Sölle as an example of feminism and liberation theology. Lastly, to conclude, the application of the story is proposed, which could serve as a starting point for subsequent theological work.

A presente dissertação, pautada no direito penal mínimo e no princípio da dignidade humana, discorre sobre o tráfico internacional de pessoas para fim de exploração sexual, tendo em vista o consentimento da vítima maior e capaz. Para tanto, foi feita uma análise introdutória do direito penal sexual e da prostituição, buscando identificar o bem jurídico tutelado hodiernamente sem a influência de conteúdo estritamente moral, pois no tráfico de pessoas deve prevalecer a proteção da liberdade sexual. Foram examinados os principais acordos internacionais afeitos à matéria, em especial o Protocolo de Palermo, e também a legislação de países como Alemanha, Portugal, Espanha, Itália, Estados Unidos e Argentina. Neste contexto, fez-se uma leitura crítica da legislação brasileira (mormente o art. 231 do Código Penal), que está em falta com a agenda internacional por se limitar a tutelar o tráfico internacional quando se trata de exploração de índole sexual. Além disso, o dispositivo se mostra falho em sua essência, por não enxergar o tráfico como um fenômeno, um processo delitivo complexo e multifacetado. À ineficácia legislativa se soma a insuficiência das políticas públicas nesta seara para o efetivo enfrentamento do tráfico de pessoas, visando a sua prevenção, punição e também a proteção às vítimas. / This paper which is based on the principles of minimum criminal law and human dignity, talks about the international human trafficking for sexual purposes, considering the consent of the adult and capable victim. For this, a preliminary analysis of the criminal sex and prostitution law was made, in order to identify the legal protected property, without the influence of the strictly moral context, because the protection of sexual freedom shall prevail in human trafficking. This paper also evaluates the more important international treaties with regard to this issue, with special regard to the Palermo Protocol as well as the legislation of countries such as Germany, Portugal, Spain, Italy, United States of America and Argentina. A comparative analyses of the Brazilian law was developed (Article 231 of the Brazilian Criminal Code), concluding that the Brazilian law is more restricted than the international rules, because it legislates that Human trafficking is only for sexual purposes and does not consider any other. Besides that, the aforementioned article has a flaw as it does not consider the traffic as a phenomenon, a complex and multifaceted wrongful process. The inefficient Brazilian legislative process is attributed to the insufficiency of public policies in this area to effectively face human trafficking, focusing on its prevention and punishment as well as the protection of the victims.

Some of these operations supported by the newspaper O Estado de S. Paul, denounced by other prostitutes to the population through the newspaper Folha de S. Paul, in addition to newspaper coverage of the Corner Gas Light, the alternative press. This set of operations of the repressive apparatus was to first target prostitutes, transvestites after operation with the famous "Clean", expanding to the whole called gay ghetto. Police spread terror by marginal territories to use the method to arrest anyone who was not carrying the formal work. These transactions had a great press coverage, social movements, even to the establishment of the Commission investigation of the Human Person in the Legislative Assembly. With the discourses that surfaced through repression - resistance relationship arises in check not only the use of urban space, but also the practices and values of a society aimed at democratization / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar uma série de operações policiais, chamadas rondões , que visavam requalificar algumas áreas da cidade de São Paulo, em que ocorre a prostituição de rua, o chamado trottoir, durante o período de 1979-1983. Algumas dessas operações apoiadas pelo jornal O Estado de S. Paulo, outras denunciadas pelas prostitutas à população por meio do jornal Folha de S. Paulo, além da cobertura do jornal Lampião da Esquina, da imprensa alternativa. Esse conjunto de operações do aparelho repressivo teve como primeiro alvo as prostitutas, depois as travestis com a famosa operação Limpeza , se expandindo para todo o chamado gueto homossexual. A polícia disseminou o terror pelos territórios marginais ao utilizar o método de prender quem não estivesse portando a carteira de trabalho assinada. Essas operações tiveram uma grande cobertura da Imprensa, dos movimentos sociais, chegando até a instauração de inquérito na Comissão de Direitos da Pessoa Humana na Assembleia Legislativa. Com os discursos que vieram à tona por meio da relação repressão-resistência, coloca-se em xeque não só a utilização do espaço urbano, mas também as práticas e valores de uma sociedade que visava à redemocratização

Este trabalho é uma análise antropológica sobre as relações afetivas e comerciais entre mulheres que se prostituem e os demais agentes da prostituição, os chamados rufiões ou proxenetas. Através do trabalho etnográfico buscamos compreender os sentidos e representações sobre as concepções de trabalho e de exploração. Este trabalho foi construído a partir do método etnográfico e da observação participante iniciado em uma organização não-governamental de prostitutas em Porto Alegre e ampliado a outros entrevistados que participam das redes de relações dos pesquisados. Realizamos o trabalho de pesquisa através de entrevistas individuais e registros em diários de campo, estabelecendo uma interlocução com as mulheres que se prostituem e com os/as proprietários/as e gerentes de estabelecimentos onde se realiza a prostituição. Esta etnografia está organizada a partir de um debate desencadeado pela interlocução com entrevistados e em um novo cenário em que os protagonistas tecem ações políticas e reflexões sobre as possibilidades de alguma regulamentação e reconhecimento profissional da prostituição. Procuramos conhecer os relacionamentos entre agenciadores e prostitutas, em diferentes espaços de prostituição (públicos e privados) através de seus depoimentos e reflexões sobre a experiência direta e diversificada com a prostituição na cidade de Porto Alegre/RS. / This work is an anthropological analysis about the affective and commercial relationships between prostitutes and their agents, the so called caftans. Using the ethnographic work we sought to understand the interactions between work and exploitation. The ethnographic work started with the prostitutes belonging to a nongovernmental organization based in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state (Brasil), and broadened to other people acquainted to them. The work was accomplished by personal interviews with the prostitutes, their managers and the owners of the places where prostitution takes place. Starting with a discussion about the nowadays situation, the people involved did present some suggestions about the possibilities for professional organization, and, at the end, a state recognition and regulation. We sought to understand the relationships between caftans and prostitutes in different environments (public and privately), based on their interviews and intimate experience and suggestions.

A number of studies have been conducted about policy failures in Nigeria; however, little is known about the state of stakeholders' readiness to implement any government policy. Using the functionalist theory of Durkheim and the infrastructure theory of Frischmann, the purpose of this exploratory case study was to evaluate the level of preparedness of the education sector to implement the Nigerian policy on child labor, which was adopted on September 11, 2013, by the federal executive council of Nigeria. Preparedness in this study was conceptualized as the ability of the education sector to absorb children of school-going-age who quit all forms of child labor activities and return to formal education in schools. Open-ended interviews elicited narratives from 30 participants purposefully drawn from the Northern, Central, and Southern Uruan Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State. Interview data were transcribed, coded, and analyzed for emergent themes. The findings revealed that schools were evenly dispersed within the Uruan Local Government Area. However, the state of infrastructure in the schools, particularly in the rural communities, was in a condition of neglect with a high teacher-pupil ratio. There was a low incidence of child labor but a weak government enforcement strategy, particularly in the interior/riverine areas of the research population. This study leads to positive social change by creating awareness among policy makers that the various stakeholders in any public policy need to be equipped with adequate resources to minimize the incidence of policy failure in Nigeria.

This study uses anti-carceral feminist logic to explore the cultural meanings, criminal implications, and neoliberal influence that shape the landscape of social work education about the sex trades in the United States and transnationally. "What are social work instructors teaching students about the sex trades in coursework?" is the question that directs the study, which uses a feminist qualitative methodology inclusive of intersectional feminist epistemology as well as direct content analysis. To answer this question, I analyzed 20 social work course syllabi from sex trade related courses across the contiguous United States and interviewed 20 social work instructors from 14 different states. Study findings show that course content represents people in the sex trades primarily as victimized cisgender women and girls with a significant focus on sex trafficking, especially within the Global South. While there is some course content that portrays sex trade workers as having complex and autonomous experiences, this material is limited to courses that have "sex" or "sexuality" in the title (i.e. "sex trafficking" or "sexuality and social work" courses). Furthermore, course content that represents the intersectional experiences and impact of systemic violence encountered by trans women of color and LGBTQ+ people is underrepresented in the sample--confined to two course syllabi and visibly absent from remaining syllabi. The sample indicates the prevalence of carceral approaches to the sex trades with an unexamined and racially-biased emphasis upon rescue and/or incarceration. This project provides significant implications for social work education about the necessity of an anti-carceral feminist, intersectional, and consequently, an anti-oppressive approach to teaching about the sex trades.

Em que pese o ato de prostituir-se já ser conhecido de há muito na História da humanidade, o Brasil não logrou, até o presente momento, oferecer uma resposta adequada a esta questão social. A legislação permite considerar a prostituição, em si mesma, um ato lícito, mas criminaliza por razões exclusivamente morais as atividades a ela umbilicalmente ligadas. A pesquisa encontrou fundamentação teórica em material bibliográfico multidisciplinar disponível sobre o assunto. Também o método da história oral foi utilizado, a partir da teoria das representações sociais de Henri Lefebvre, para conhecer do cotidiano e das condições de trabalho dos profissionais do sexo. Após a análise histórica do comércio sexual, das regulamentações permissivas e proibicionistas existentes ao longo da História, foi possível compreender o estigma que o trabalho e seus trabalhadores enfrentam até a atualidade. Postas estas questões, passamos à análise dos crimes relacionados à prostituição e o cotejo destes com os direitos fundamentais da pessoa humana. Examinamos os movimentos sociais de profissionais do sexo existentes em todo o mundo, bem como a solução apresentada para a questão social do trabalho do sexo por diversos países, como Estados Unidos da América (e particularmente o Estado de Nevada), Nova Zelândia, Holanda, Alemanha, dentre outros. Analisamos os projetos de lei propostos na última década acerca da regulamentação profissional dos trabalhadores do sexo, e deles extraímos conceitos importantes para a análise do trabalho sexual no Brasil, seja aquele exercido por mulheres, homens ou travestis. Esta diferenciação em três categorias realizada na pesquisa foi importante para a compreensão de certas particularidades existentes em cada tipologia do meretrício, que pode manifestar-se de múltiplas formas. Em consonância com a teoria penal do bem jurídico, analisamos os tipos penais existentes no Código de 1940, os quais demonstram, na atualidade, não tutelar nenhum interesse legítimo; além disto, em sua aplicação prática, desrespeitam tais comandos legais diversos direitos fundamentais do trabalhador do sexo, expondo-o a situações discriminatórias e antijurídicas (em comparação com outros trabalhadores). Na compreensão sistêmica da Constituição Federal e de seus preceitos, especialmente os direitos fundamentais individuais e sociais, é possível concluir pela inconstitucionalidade dos dispositivos existentes nos artigos 227 a 231-A do Código Penal, ainda que em alguns casos exista inconstitucionalidade parcial. A proteção penal deverá dar-se apenas quando houver exploração sexual, como a reforma de 2009, sem muito êxito, tentou realizar. Finalmente, na análise do conceito jurídico de trabalho, pudemos concluir que o trabalhador do sexo realiza, de fato, trabalho, cujo desenvolvimento poderá dar-se apenas de forma autônoma. Somente a prostituição adulta restou analisada e foi alvo de nossas conclusões. Desta feita, buscamos propor uma nova visão acerca do trabalho sexual, mais inclusiva, que objetive conferir direitos elementares a esta classe trabalhadora que há séculos já existe. / Despite the act of prostitution is already known long ago in human history, Brazil has failed until the present date to provide an appropriate answer to this social question. The legislation allows considering prostitution in itself a lawful act, but criminalizes - only because of moral reasons the activities inextricably linked to it. The research found theoretical foundation in multidisciplinary bibliographic material available on the subject. Also the oral history method was used, based on the theory of social representations of Henri Lefebvre, to know the daily life and working conditions of sex workers. After the historical analysis of the sex trade, permissive and prohibitionist regulations that existed throughout the history, it was possible to understand the stigma that the work and its workers face until today. Presented these issues, the crimes under the Brazilian law related to prostitution were analyzed and collated with the fundamental rights of the human person. The social movements of sex workers around the world were examined, as well as the proposed solution to the social issue of sex work by several countries, including the United States of America (and particularly the state of Nevada), New Zealand, Netherlands, Germany, among others. The bills of the last decade on the field of professional regulation of sex workers were also analyzed, and pulled from them important concepts for the analysis of sex work in Brazil, the one exercised by women, men or transvestites. This differentiation into three categories in the survey conducted was important for the understanding of certain peculiarities existing in each typology of prostitution, which can manifest itself in multiple ways. In line with the penal theory of the juridical interest, the criminal types that existed on the Brazilian Penal Code of 1940 were analyzed, which actually demonstrate that they do not protect any legitimate interest, moreover, in its practical application, these legal commands disrespect several fundamental rights of the sex worker, exposing he or she to discriminatory and anti-juridical situations (if compared with other workers). Within the systemic understanding of the Brazilian Constitution and its principles, especially the individual fundamental and social rights, we conclude for the unconstitutionality of existing legal devices in Articles 227 to 231-A of the Brazilian Penal Code, although in some cases there is partial unconstitutionality. The criminal protection should be given only when there is sexual exploitation, such as the reform of 2009, without much success, tried to accomplish. Finally, in the analysis of the legal concept work, we concluded that the sex worker does, indeed, work, whose development may take place just independently. Only adult prostitution was analyzed and was the target of our conclusions. This time we seek to propose a new vision about sex work, more inclusive, that aims to give basic rights to this working class that already exists for centuries.

This is a study of continuity and change in middle-class conceptions of ideal manhood. My theoretical cues are the notions of the male as an unproblematised and genderless norm, masculinity as homosocial, and George L. Mosse’s use of countertypes. Notions of passions, youth, and character were important throughout the century. If young men could learn to master the dangerous passions especially in the precarious period of youth, they would develop character. If men instead gave in to the passions, they would fall and become countertypes. Meanwhile, young men lived according to another notion, that young men should have their fling. The meaning of manhood also changed over time. In the decades around 1800, manhood meant to lead a life which would be beneficial to society as a whole. Another ideal, that of the man of the world, was founded on urbane manners as a tactic to further one’s career. By mid-century, the ideal of the self-made man came to the fore. The homosocial world of business was now seen as a good way to mould manly characters. In the last decades of the century, moralists criticized the sexual double standard and male sexuality. To remain chaste until marriage became a central mark of manhood. Autobiographers, however, reveal that to many men, Don Juan was a hero rather than a villain. The notion that men were genderless and that masculinity was not a subject of discussion cannot be sustained. Masculinity was indeed the subject of intense discussions. Meanwhile, neither moralists nor autobiographers shed critical light on married, adult men. The problem was how young men should best be guided into an adult position of legitimate power; that position of power in itself was not problematised. While most masculinities were homosocial, this was not exclusively so. Countertypes were more complex than what Mosse allows for. Men who had taken ideal manhood too far could be countertypes, and at times men endorsed ideals which meant unmanliness to moralists.

“Area restriction” is the umbrella term used for this thesis to consider geography-based, individually- assigned orders issued by criminal justice agents to remove and restrict targets from particular city spaces. This research focuses on 13 Canadian cities that use arrest-and-release area restriction strategies to managing street sex work(ers). Despite heavy criticism for their punitive nature, area restrictions have received little academic attention. This project takes an exploratory and descriptive approach to the issue in order to develop a platform for future research. Using qualitative, non-experimental methods it also critically analyzes the implementation, logic and reported impacts of the strategies while drawing implications for how area restrictions relate to citizenship statuses of sex workers by mapping exclusions onto the city. Multiple data sources were included but the most significant and compelling information comes from interviews with police officers and community agency workers. Findings suggest that area restriction strategies contribute to substantial social divides between sex workers and other community members, but also between sex workers and important services, resources and their community. At the same time, the strategy is reported as a “temporary relief” measure that is ineffective at lessening sex trade activity and often leads to displacement and dispersal of sex work(ers). However, collaborative efforts in some cities show promise for achieving goals of ‘helping sex workers off the street.’ Realistic recommendations for area restriction strategies are made that lead to more inclusive approaches that are considerate of needs and concerns of all interest groups linked to the “prostitution problem.”
