A alquimia do \"adultescer\": a literatura para juventude como rito de passagem / The alchemy of adulting: literature for youngsters as rite of passage

Sersi Bardari 15 August 2008 (has links)
Por meio deste trabalho, inserido na área de Estudos Comparados de Literaturas de Língua Portuguesa, objetivou-se estudar o modo como a Literatura para Juventude representa a passagem da adolescência para a idade adulta, tendo em vista a contribuição que os textos literários podem prestar para o processo de formação da subjetividade dos jovens, seja de modo realístico ou simbólico. Em termos de referencial teórico, trabalhou-se com o pensamento de diversos estudiosos da Psicologia do Desenvolvimento, tanto daqueles cujos trabalhos ativeram-se à investigação do ego, quanto dos que foram além e professaram teorias a respeito do self e do processo de individuação. No sentido de demonstrar a validade do mito do herói como estrutura narrativa simbólica do adultescer, empreendeu-se estudo comparativo de O relógio do mundo, do autor brasileiro Lino de Albergaria, com Aventuras de João Sem Medo: panfleto mágico em forma de romance, de José Gomes Ferreira, obra clássica da Literatura Portuguesa. Por meio da análise dos textos, construídos com base nas invariantes do conto maravilhoso, procurou-se demonstrar que, do ponto de vista da natureza psíquica, a conquista da maturidade é processo universal e atemporal, porém, o modo desta expressar-se no mundo está diretamente ligado com a cultura de cada lugar e época. / Placed within the field of Comparative Studies on Literature Written in Portuguese, this work has studied how youth literature can represent the passage from adolescence to adulthood, considering the contribution that literary texts may give to the formative process of a youths subjectivity, be it through realism or symbolism. Regarding its theoretical background, the research relies on the ideas of several authors from the field of Developmental Psychology, both those whose works concentrated on investigating the ego, and those who took a further step towards theorizing on the self and the individuation process. For the purpose of demonstrating how the myth of the hero serves as narrative structure to the process of adulting, a comparative study has been undertaken between O relógio do mundo, by the Brazilian author Lino de Albergaria, and Aventuras de João Sem Medo: panfleto mágico em forma de romance, a classic work from Portuguese literature by José Gomes Ferreira. Such works, built upon invariable elements of the marvelous structure, reveal that reaching maturity, in terms of its psychic nature, is a universal and timeless process, nonetheless, the way it is expressed in the world is directly connected to the culture of each specific time and place.

Self-esteem, dreams & indignation : lessons from an emerging middle-class private high school in Northeast Brazil

Wisdahl, Michele January 2016 (has links)
This thesis provides an ethnography of the final year at an emerging middle-class private high school in the Northeast of Brazil. It draws on 15 months of fieldwork, including participant observation in the classroom wherein I followed students whilst they prepared for vestibular (the university entrance exam). Students' movements through Fortaleza, one of the world's most unequal cities, produced knowledge about the kind of person that one could and should be in the future. Private schooling appeared to provide a route for students to realise that metaphorical (and perhaps physical) movement. Vestibular served as a sort of rite of passage that could transform (emerging middle-class) youth into (middle-class) adults. Students and teachers characterised vestibular as a luta (fight) that could be won with enough training, flexibility and commitment. Good or high self-esteem was needed to overcome laziness and endure this luta and, thus, teachers and students worked on producing better self-esteem through affective work. Dreams (aspirations for the future) also played a critical role: the school encouraged students to engage in time work, to imagine appropriate future(s) into which students could channel their energies in the present. This version of individual power differed from the political and economic power structures portrayed in the classroom. Students grew indignant as, through curriculum and pedagogy, they came to understand that they were oppressed and that Brazil was underdeveloped and not quite modern. The university entrance exam served as a national meritocratic ritual that portrayed Brazil as becoming modern with governable and governing citizens. Students resisted these assertions and/but their cynicisms belied hope for better imagined futures. Using the classroom as container, this thesis presents a portrait of people and ideas in formation during a post-Lula era.

En Sista Sekvens : En sekventiellt krematorium på Norra Begravningsplatsen / Spaces of Passage : A Crematory with ritual in spatial sequences

Östergren, Hannah January 2015 (has links)
Krematoriet är en tvåfaldig byggnad: dels en funktionell anläggning där döda kroppar hanteras rationellt men också en byggnad med behov av känsla och ritual för att undvika att kremationen reduceras till likhantering på löpande band. Dödsritualer basereras ofta på gemensamma trosuppfattningar, något som är sällsynt i vårt postmoderna samhälle. En ledande frågeställning är hur arkitekturen kan skapa rum för mening utan att formulera egna godtyckliga ritualer eller försvåra för den praktiska verksamheten. En sista sekvens är ett krematorieprojekt som eftersträvar att skapa ritual genom rumssekvenser. Ritualens symboliska handlingar översätts till fysiska platser som passeras vid varje kremation. Hierakiskt ordnade, karaktärisktiska rum förbereder för och markererar kremationens olika steg utan att göra avsteg från det funktionella. Hypotesen är att kremationsprocessen kan upphöjas till en rumslig ritual som skapas av rumssamband och form. Varje kista som förs mot ugnen omsluts av karaktärisktiska rum: spatiala ögonblick, som skapar värdighet för den döde, tröst för de närstående och och en påminnelse till de anställda att deras arbete är viktigt. Resultatet är ett krematorium med funktionella rumssekvenser där industriella rum och passager har fått sensoriska kvaliteér. Om rumssekvenserna är starka nog för att få rituell mening är svårt att utvärdera utifrån ritningar men det föreslagna krematoriet har tydlig ambition att lyfta fram och skapa särskiljande och sensoriska rum för en industriell process. / A crematory is an ambigous structure: in part a functional facility where corpses are processed but also a building that require emotion and ritual to keep the crematory from becoming a death factory. In many cultures rites of passage are based on a common belief of what happens after death but these collective beliefs are scarce in today's post-modern society. One of the main questions in the project is how architecture can create meaningful space without inventing its own arbitrary rituals or compromising the building's functionality. Spaces of Passage is a crematory project that aims to create ritual through spatial sequences. The symbolic acts of the ritual are translated into physical places. Hierachically organised space with specific character enhance and foreshadow each step of the cremation process without sacrificing effectivness. The hypothesis is that the cremation process can be become a spatial ritual - a ritual created from form and relations. Every coffin that is transported towards the owen will pass through architectural moments, which convey a sense of dignity for the deceased, comfort for the bereaved and a a reminder that the work done at the crematory is of outmost importance. The resulting architecture is a crematory with functional spatial sequences where industrial spaces have aestetic qualities. Without studying how people interact with the actual building it is hard to evaluate if the spatial sequences have gained ritual value but the proposed crematory is indeed a clear attempt at creating emotional significance in an industrial process.

Renegotiating identity : re-authoring narratives post infidelity and divorce

Day, Penelope Joy 30 November 2007 (has links)
This qualitatively oriented Practical Theology research journey, informed by postmodernism and social constructionism, was based on a narrative enquiry into the healing and renegotiation of identity of five "faithful spouses" post infidelity and divorce. These conversations occurred within a small group context, where narratives were spoken and witnessed (pastoral therapeutic gatherings), and were aimed at enabling the participants to remember and re-author preferred identities and new ways of being. This dissertation attempts to bring together the narratives of the participants, the literature, narrative therapy and pastoral care. My research curiosity was prompted by my mother's experience of divorce, and by the myriad number of conversations I have had with both "infidels" and "faithful spouses" in my pastoral practice. This research journey examines the process of co-creating, along with my fellow travellers (research participants), a viable model of divorce recovery in the face of infidelity and divorce. / Practical Theology / M.Th.

Ett diadem och dess ikonografi : En studie av kejsarinnan Josephines pärl- och kamédiadem i porträtt mellan 1812 och 2010 / A Diadem and its Iconography : A Study of Empress Josephine’s Pearl and Cameo Diadem in Portraits between 1812 and 2010

af Klinteberg, Kristina January 2021 (has links)
The main purpose of this study of a pearl and cameo diadem, given by Napoleon to his first wife Josephine in 1809, is to follow its representation in portraiture from Paris in 1812 to Stockholm in 2010, and explore how the iconography develops during these 200 years. From the earlier years, the diadem is found only in miniatures, then after coming to the new royal family in Sweden, the Bernadottes, it is given a role of an heirloom representing history and families in grand paintings, arriving to the present well-known wedding hairpiece, covered by modern media, where the diadem is more of a crown than the open, forehead-covering piece of fashion jewellery it was during the Napoleonic era in France. The portraits from 1812, 1814, 1836, 1837, 1877, 1976, 2000/2003 and 2010 also portray a development of the female role model of its time. Just like the hair piece attains an iconography which comprises not only the highest dress codes but also a possibility of status transformation for the people involved in ceremony, the role of the country’s First Lady is about to change into a higher, more egalitarian position of present days.
