Doctor of Juridical Science / This thesis challenges a number of claims that are made in the context of the euthanasia debate: that there is only one version of the good death; that rights discourse is the most appropriate vehicle by which to secure legal recognition of a right to die; that the Netherlands is either a model for reform or the epitome of a slippery slope in its regulation of euthanasia; and that a key argument in the euthanasia debate, the sanctity of life doctrine, is a fixed, immutable concept. In this thesis I use process sociology, developed by Norbert Elias, in order to capture changing sensibilities toward death and dying in the common law jurisdictions (Australia, England, the United States of America, Canada and New Zealand) and in the Netherlands. At the same time I analyse changing attitudes among key groups whose work impacts upon the euthanasia debate namely, parliamentarians, law reform bodies, the judiciary and medical associations. My aim in adopting this approach is threefold. First of all, to examine evolving attitudes to death and dying in order to determine whether the institutions of law and medicine are responding in an adequate manner to changing sensibilities in the common law countries and in the Netherlands. Secondly, to highlight shifting balances of power within the euthanasia debate. Thirdly, to assess whether the various options for reform that I discuss are workable or not. In this thesis I show that there appears to be a sensibility of support in the common law countries for euthanasia to be legally available when an adult is terminally ill, is experiencing pain that he or she cannot bear and has expressed a wish to die (the typical euthanasia scenario). However, the situation is far from clear cut. The methods adopted by one of the ways of measuring sensibilities, opinion polls, suggest that sensibilities may not always be well-informed. Further, attitudes within and between key groups are not uniform or settled. In the context of this unsettled state of affairs, I show that responses to changing sensibilities from law and medicine in the common law jurisdictions are far from satisfactory. So far as legal responses are concerned, case law outcomes in right to die applications suggest a lack of flexibility. Outcomes in prosecutions following active voluntary euthanasia or assisted suicide reveal a non-application of established legal principles and suggest that the courts do not focus, squarely, upon the real issues at stake in the euthanasia debate. Medical responses are similarly less than optimal due to a tendency to de-emphasise existential (emotional) pain which, research shows, is the prime motivating factor in requests to be assisted to die sooner. Responses to changing sensibilities to death and dying in the Netherlands are also unsatisfactory because of the disorganised manner in which euthanasia was legalised and because regulation is inadequate. I come to the conclusion that there are three ways in which we could possibly resolve these problems and increase the flexibility of responses to changing sensibilities toward death and dying. They are as follows: by legalising euthanasia; by permitting a defence of necessity; or, by liberalising the use of terminal sedation in end-of-life care. Of these three, I conclude, in light of shifting sensibilities and overall negative attitudes among key groups to euthanasia, that the last is the most appropriate option at the present time. In closing, I address some of the larger issues at stake in the euthanasia debate. In particular, I deal with the effect that changing sensibilities toward the process of dying have had upon human social life, leading to the problematic situation that Elias referred to as the ‘loneliness of the dying’.

O recorte temporal focalizado para a pesquisa é o período de 1970 a 1990, uma vez que é neste momento que Vinhedo intensifica o avanço do sistema capitalista amalgamando em sua paisagem imagens tradicionais e modernas. No entanto, o ponto de partida e de chegada da pesquisa é o tempo presente: é a partir dele, que as relações com o passado são tecidas. A fim de investigar como estas "novas" práticas sociais instituíram uma "nova" educação urbana das sensibilidades e de perceber como as "novas" experiências socioculturais urbanas foram transformadas (pelas) e, ao mesmo tempo incorporadas nas práticas sociais e escolares, fez-se necessária a realização de entrevistas com antigos moradores e com ex-professores (os quais estavam inseridos nas instituições públicas do período focalizado). Ainda, com o intuito de perceber como os sujeitos se relacionavam com a cidade, privilegiei a análise de outros documentos, como fotos da paisagem urbana, jornais da época e textos literários / Abstract: This project has as main theme the relationship between the process of urbanization and industrialization of the Vinhedo¿s city and the education of the sensibilities of the subjects involved. The timeframe for the focused research is the period from 1970 to 1990, since it is at this point Vinhedo intensifies the advancing capitalist system amalgamating in your landscape traditional and modern images. However, the starting and finishing point of the research is the present tense: it is from it that relations with the past are woven. In order to investigate how these "new" social practices instituted a "new" urban education of sensitivities and to understand how the "new" urban sociocultural experiences were transformed (by) and, at the same time incorporated in social and school practices, made necessary the realization of interviews with former residents and with former or current teachers (which were inserted into public institutions focused period). Still, in order to understand how the subjects related to the city, I choose to analyze other documents, such as images of the urban landscape, newspapers and literary texts / Mestrado / Ensino e Práticas Culturais / Mestra em Educação

In this period, occurred in this city the change of agricultural production based on food cultivation for subsistence to a production process and large-scale commercialization of agave, wich was destinated for the domestic and foreign markets. In this city, the process of economic exploitation of agave resulted in some changes on the lifes of the people, changes on their everyday life and working practices. Through political and religious speeches, we realize that the agave was seen as the main route for the salvation of the brazilian Northeast, a region hit by the drought and focus of different public policies. In this sense, political, religious, agronomists and journalists took turns on the production of speeches in defense of the agave, for which attributed an evil and destructive aspect. Through analysis of these discourses (BENJAMIN, 2012) I sought to identify how they were important for the acceptance of agave in Cubati, and also, how they were used for positivization of this type of agriculture. This study has not the objective to privilege the visions created by the elitist groups about the agricultural production of the agave. For the contrary, I intend to identify, through narratives and the sensibilities produced by oral speech, how the process of the exploration of the agave changed the lifes of the workers who lived in this city. After analize the oral sources, I propoused some questions wich could reveal to me the senses, the objectives of these senses and the objectives of the sequences of remembrance of the people who were interviewed. With regard to the work with the oral sources, I used the Oral History Metodology (FERREIRA, 1998), because I realize that it would be the best manner to comprehend the visions of the farmers about the introduction of the agave as a new agricultural product and how it was the manner of work with that strange plant. When we think on the relashionship between the speeches and its various forms of actuation, I based myself in Michel Foucault (1972; 2012), because this philosopher showed us that the speeches are passed by a knowledge-power relation wich start from a particular place/institution playing a role in social, cultural and political relations. Foucault inspired me to think the manner how the workers were related to their memories, and how, when they remembered, exercised the "author function". It was also important to think the relations of the workers with the working world from the look of English historiography, notably through (THOMPSON, 1981; 1997; 1998) realized that the agave‟s workers from Cubati and their memories are inscribed in this study through a poetic, that do not intend to tell just one story. This story is told through the various voices that make up this text. / Esta dissertação pretende discutir, através das memórias e sensibilidades, algumas das experiências vividas pelos sujeitos da cidade de Cubati, interior da Paraíba, durante as décadas de 1950 e 1980. Nesse período, ocorreu neste município, a alteração da produção agrícola baseada no cultivo de alimentos para a subsistência para um processo de produção e comercialização em grande escala de agave, o qual era destinado ao mercado interno e externo. Nessa cidade, o processo de exploração econômica do agave resultou na alteração das vidas dos sujeitos, nas mudanças dos seus costumes e na alteração de suas práticas de trabalho. Através de discursos de políticos e religiosos, percebemos que o agave passou a ser visto como a principal via para a salvação do Nordeste, região esta assolada pela seca e foco de diferentes políticas públicas. Nesse sentido, políticos, religiosos, agrônomos e jornalistas revezaram-se na produção de discursos em defesa do agave, para o qual atribuíam um aspecto diabólico e destrutivo. Através de análises à contra-pêlo desses discursos (BENJAMIN, 2012) procurei identificar como eles foram importantes para a aceitação do agave em terras cubatienses, e também, como foram utilizados a positivação desse tipo de agricultura. Este estudo não tem como objetivo privilegiar as visões produzidas pelas elites sobre o agave. Ao contrário disso, busco identificar, através das narrativas e das sensibilidades produzidas por depoimentos orais, como o processo de exploração do agave alterou a vida dos trabalhadores que viveram nesta cidade. Ao analisar as fontes orais, propus indagações que pudessem me revelar os sentidos e os objetivos das sequências de rememoração das pessoas entrevistadas. No que se refere ao trabalho com as fontes orais, trabalhei com a metodologia da História Oral (FERREIRA, 1998), pois percebi que ela seria a única maneira de compreender o olhar dos agricultores sobre a introdução do agave como novo produto agrícola e como era o processo de trabalho com aquela planta estranha. Ao pensar a relação entre os discursos e suas múltiplas formas de atuação me baseio em Michel Foucault (1972; 2012), esse filósofo nos mostra que os discursos são perpassados por uma relação de saber-poder, os quais partem de um determinado lugar/instituição exercendo um papel nas relações sociais, culturais e politicas. Foucault, ainda me inspirou a pensar a maneira como os trabalhadores se relacionavam com suas memórias, como, ao rememorarem exerciam a “função de autor”. Foi importante pensar a relação dos trabalhadores com o mundo do trabalho a partir do olhar da historiografia inglesa, (THOMPSON, 1981; 1997; 1998) percebi que os trabalhadores do agave de Cubati e suas memórias estão inscritos neste trabalho através de uma poética, que não pretende contar uma só história, mas que se conta através das várias vozes, que compõem esse texto.

Esta dissertação presta-se a oferecer considerações para um adensamento do quadro teórico que fomenta debates contemporâneos sobre formação docente para o ensino de inglês no Brasil, aprofundando-se na questão do jogo identidade/ alteridade, uma vez que considera que a presença das línguas estrangeiras na Educação Básica deve atender à necessidade atual de nossa sociedade de repensar temas tais como os efeitos da globalização sobre práticas interculturais. Recorrendo ao campo da Arte como fonte conceitual, o trabalho faz uma leitura de teorias do Teatro Pós-Dramático para tentar compreender quais são as precondições, no âmbito da construção da subjetividade através de aprendizagem pela técnica teatral, à efetivação de uma capacidade de deslocamento crítico do ser entre modelos de produção de conhecimento que, dentro do pensamento dualista pós-industrial, repelem-se mutualmente. Por meio de estudo bibliográfico, toma-se a união psicofísica como canal transversal para uma abordagem do percurso das forças afetivas sobre o ator e sua atuação, expandindo-se a problematização da relação do indivíduo com os procedimentos e técnicas do poder, ao se explorarem as formas pelas quais o emprego de diferentes sensibilidades impacta na constituição de espaços dissensuais de coexistência entre múltiplos paradigmas políticos. / This thesis looks into the question of identity/alterity with an aim to provide considerations that can broaden the theoretical framework currently fostering debates about teacher education for the teaching of English in Brazil, since it considers that the presence of foreign languages in formal education must meet the present need of our society to rethink topics such as the effects of globalization on intercultural practices. Through the use of Art as a conceptual source, the project proposes an interpretation of Post-Dramatic Theater theories within the scope of the construction of subjectivity through learning promoted by theatrical technique, in order to try and understand the preconditions to the accomplishment of a capacity for critical ontological movement between models of knowledge production that repel each other, according to dualist post-industrial thinking. By means of a bibliographical study, the psychophysical union is taken as a transversal channel for an approach to the trajectory of affective forces on the actor and his performance, expanding the problematization of the relation of the individual with the procedures and techniques of power, while exploring the manner in which the use of different sensibilities impacts on the constitution of dissensual spaces of coexistence between multiple political paradigms.
