Até então, as práticas nesse campo foram marcadas pelo assistencialismo e pelo favor prestados às pessoas carentes ou em situação de pobreza, fortemente associada à insuficiência de renda. A Assistência Social foi a última das políticas sociais a ser regulamentada, o que só ocorreu de forma sistematizada a partir de 2004, com a criação da Política Nacional de Assistência Social (Pnas) vigente até hoje. Nesse processo de normatização optou-se por adotar o conceito de vulnerabilidade social para a definição do público, buscando estendê-la à toda a população que dela necessitasse. Essa investigação foi desenvolvida com o intuito de compreender quais foram os usos que o conceito de vulnerabilidade assumiu nas diferentes dimensões em que a política se apresenta. Para compreender as origens teórica e histórica do conceito de vulnerabilidade, bem como as conexões estabelecidas com a Assistência Social que viabilizaram sua adoção pela Pnas pesquisamos o desenvolvimento do conceito de pobreza no ocidente ao longo dos últimos séculos e resgatamos o histórico da intervenção no campo da Assistência Social no Brasil. Foram analisadas ainda as normativas sobre o tema, desde 1920, em busca de compreender quais foram as transformações na definição do público estabelecidas nessa dimensão. Para a investigação sobre a prática foi feita uma pesquisa de campo em duas capitais: Belo Horizonte e São Paulo, que tiveram como foco o Serviço de Proteção e Atendimento Integral à Família (Paif), o principal serviço oferecido na Proteção Social Básica (PSB) previsto no Sistema Único de Assistência Social (Suas) que, por sua vez, é a estratégia adotada atualmente para a implantação, gestão e cofinanciamento da Política pelo Governo Federal. Percebeu-se que o período pós-CF-88 determinou, na dimensão normativa, uma ruptura com os referenciais teóricos antigos e o estabelecimento de novos conceitos que se norteiam pelo reconhecimento do direito, amplamente apoiados na vulnerabilidade social para sua formalização. Na dimensão prática, contudo, foi possível perceber uma transição inacabada que, embora já esteja razoavelmente consolidada no plano discursivo, quando analisadas especificamente as práticas profissionais, ainda estão presentes referências que mais bem se ancoram no assistencialismo e no favor. Nesse contexto assumem o protagonismo dimensões que reduzem a vulnerabilidade à insuficiência de renda, aproximando-o ao conceito de pobreza monetária e a vulnerabilidade relacionada à própria intervenção, o que aqui denominamos como vulnerabilidade institucional e caracterizamos pela presença de fragilidade nas práticas. O presente trabalho teve como referências a teoria atriz-rede (LATOUR, 2012), os pressupostos construcionistas de produção de conhecimento e a análise de práticas discursivas. Utilizamos também a proposição de Ian Hacking (2007) sobre os 'motores da descoberta' para a análise da definição do público. A dimensão da vulnerabilidade institucional é pouco abordada e sugere-se que a lógica dos serviços seja orientada para a coerência territorial. / Social Assistance was recognized as a social right in Brazil with the Federal Constitution of 1988. Until then, practices in this field were marked by the assistance and favor provided to people in need or in poverty, strongly associated with insufficient income. Social Assistance was the last of the social policies to be regulated, which only occurred in a systematized form as of 2004, with the creation of the National Policy of Social Assistance (Pnas) in force until today. In this process of normalization, we opted to adopt the concept of social vulnerability for the definition of the public, seeking to extend it to all the population that needed it. This research was developed with the purpose of understanding the uses that the concept of vulnerability has assumed in the different dimensions in which the policy presents itself. In order to understand the theoretical and historical origins of the concept of vulnerability, as well as the connections established with Social Assistance that enabled its adoption by Pnas, we have investigated the development of the concept of poverty in the West over the last centuries and have recaptured the history of intervention in the field of Social Assistance in Brazil. We have also analyzed the norms on the subject, since 1920, in order to understand what were the changes in the definition of the public established in this dimension. In order to investigate the practice, a field survey was carried out in two capitals: Belo Horizonte and São Paulo, focused on the Service of Protection and Integral Assistance to the Family (Paif), the main service offered in Basic Social Protection (PSB) (Sistema Único de Assistência Social) which, in turn, is the strategy currently adopted for the implementation, management and co-financing of the Policy by the Federal Government. It was noticed that the post-CF-88 period has determined, in the normative dimension, a rupture with the old theoretical references and the establishment of new concepts that are guided by the recognition of the right, widely supported in the social vulnerability for its formalization. In the practical dimension, however, it was possible to perceive an unfinished transition that, although already reasonably consolidated in the discursive plan, when analyzing specifically the professional practices, are still present references that are better anchored in welfare and favor. In this context, dimensions that reduce vulnerability to income insufficiency, approaching the concept of monetary poverty and the vulnerability related to the intervention itself, which we call institutional vulnerability, are characterized by the presence of fragility in practices. The present work had as references the actress-network theory (LATOUR, 2012), the constructivist presuppositions of knowledge production and the analysis of discursive practices. We also use the proposition of Ian Hacking (2007) on 'discovery engines' for public definition analysis. The extent of institutional vulnerability is poorly addressed and it is suggested that the services logic be geared towards territorial coherence

No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Jacinta.pdf: 1245045 bytes, checksum: 1ef218360086cb6327c248f7c517d8b2 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-03-09 / This thesis aims at analyzing the official discourse of the Brazilian Social Assistance Policy on the family and the idea of centrality in the family, from their key documents, both at the level of the general formulation and of the regulation and at the level of technical guidance and standardization of the socioassistencial services, within the period from 1999 to 2011. We seek to understand the contemporary family as a dynamic and contradictory whole, built by the historical, economic, cultural and social. That movement, and as an expression of the diversity and complexity of forms of family life. That movement produces changes in the major determinants of the construction of family concept: the patterns of sexuality and conjugality; the relations of consanguinity and filiation; the cohabitation; and family affection and solidarity. It discusses the approach of the family in demographic studies, highlighting the controversies and the influences of these studies in the Social Assistance Policy. We also analyze the building process of that policy, highlighting its contradictions, innovations and continuities. It discusses the social inequality in Brazil, showing how effective it is in the Brazilian families and among their different configurations.The conception of the Social Assistance Policy is captured within the conflict between the assistencialist tradition and the process of affirmation of rights, while we seeks to understand how the family is inserted into the process of setting up of that policy. Some advances in the legal conceptual field of the Social Assistance Policy of that are highlighted, as well as the limits of the social protection for the families and the key elements for the design of the policy: its specificity in social protection; the intersectionality; and its decentralization in the context of the SUAS. Finally, we analyze the official discourse of the Brazilian Social Assistance Policy, using the method of Discourse Analysis, seeking to understand how the family and the idea of centrality in the family appear as discursive guidelines of the main documents of that Policy: the Organic Law of Social Assistance; the first and second National Policy of Social Assistance (PNAS/1998; 2004), as well as the documents related to basic social protection and the special social protection of the Policy destined to families. In the official discourse of that policy, the family and the centrality in the family appear in an imprecise, diffuse and ambiguous way. The analysis of the documents led to the identification in that discourse of the social stability, the discontinuities, the ruptures, the unspoken and the interdict. The idea of centrality in the family appears in a different way: now it is announced, sometimes it is said, sometimes it is interdicted. / Objetiva-se analisar o discurso oficial da Política de Assistência Social brasileira sobre a família e a ideia de centralidade na família, a partir dos seus documentos principais, tanto no nível da formulação geral e da normatização quanto no nível das orientações técnicas e da padronização dos serviços socioassistenciais, no período de 1999 a 2011. Busca-se compreender a família contemporânea como totalidade dinâmica e contraditória, construída pelo movimento histórico, econômico, cultural e social, e como expressão da diversidade e da complexidade das formas de viver em família. Esse movimento produz alterações nos determinantes principais da construção da concepção de família: os padrões de sexualidade e conjugalidade; as relações de consanguinidade e filiação; a coabitação; a afetividade e a solidariedade familiares. Discute-se a abordagem da família nos estudos demográficos, explicitando as controvérsias e as influências desses estudos na Política de Assistência Social. Analisa-se, ainda, o processo de construção dessa política, destacando suas contradições, inovações e continuidades. Discute-se a desigualdade social no Brasil, evidenciando como ela se efetiva nas famílias brasileiras e entre suas diferentes configurações. A concepção da Política de Assistência Social é apreendida no âmbito do conflito entre a tradição assistencialista e o processo de afirmação dos direitos, ao mesmo tempo em que se busca entender como a família se insere no processo de constituição dessa política. Destacam-se alguns avanços no campo jurídico conceitual na Política de Assistência Social, os limites da proteção social às famílias e elementos fundamentais para a concepção da referida política: a sua especificidade na proteção social; a intersetorialidade; e a sua descentralização no âmbito do SUAS. Por fim, analisa-se o discurso oficial da Política de Assistência Social brasileira, através do método da Análise de Discurso, buscando apreender de que modo a família e a ideia da centralidade na família aparecem como elementos discursivos norteadores dos principais documentos dessa Política: a Lei Orgânica de Assistência Social; a primeira e a segunda Política Nacional de Assistência Social (PNAS/1998; 2004); e os documentos referentes à proteção social básica e à proteção social especial da referida Política direcionadas às famílias. No discurso oficial dessa política, a família e a centralidade na família aparecem de forma imprecisa, difusa e ambígua. A análise dos documentos permitiu identificar nesse discurso: as estabilidades sociais, as descontinuidades, as rupturas, os não ditos e os interditos. A ideia de centralidade na família aparece de forma diferenciada: ora é anunciada, às vezes não é dita, outras vezes é interditada.

This dissertation examines the quality of hazard mitigation elements in a coastal, hazard prone state. I answer two questions. First, in a state with a strong mandate for hazard mitigation elements in comprehensive plans, does plan quality differ among county governments? Second, if such variation exists, what drives this variation? My research focuses primarily on Florida’s 35 coastal counties, which are all at risk for hurricane and flood hazards, and all fall under Florida’s mandate to have a comprehensive plan that includes a hazard mitigation element. Research methods included document review to rate the hazard mitigation elements of all 35 coastal county plans and subsequent analysis against demographic and hazard history factors. Following this, I conducted an electronic, nationwide survey of planning professionals and academics, informed by interviews of planning leaders in Florida counties. I found that hazard mitigation element quality varied widely among the 35 Florida coastal counties, but were close to a normal distribution. No plans were of exceptionally high quality. Overall, historical hazard effects did not correlate with hazard mitigation element quality, but some demographic variables that are associated with urban populations did. The variance in hazard mitigation element quality indicates that while state law may mandate, and even prescribe, hazard mitigation in local comprehensive plans, not all plans will result in equal, or even adequate, protection for people. Furthermore, the mixed correlations with demographic variables representing social and disaster vulnerability shows that, at least at the county level, vulnerability to hazards does not have a strong effect on hazard mitigation element quality. From a theory perspective, my research is significant because it compares assumptions about vulnerability based on hazard history and demographics to plan quality. The only vulnerability-related variables that appeared to correlate, and at that mildly so, with hazard mitigation element quality, were those typically representing more urban areas. In terms of the theory of Neo-Institutionalism and theories related to learning organizations, my research shows that planning departments appear to have set norms and rules of operating that preclude both significant public involvement and learning from prior hazard events.

Este estudo teve por objetivo investigar e compreender o desenvolvimento da identidade profissional do psicólogo que atua na área da Assistência Social junto a famílias em contexto de vulnerabilidade social. Os conceitos de vulnerabilidade social, resiliência, interdisciplinaridade e sua relação com contextos que influenciam a formação identitária do psicólogo são abordados e analisados com o auxílio da Teoria Bioecológica do Desenvolvimento Humano. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa com o uso da entrevista semiestruturada para coleta de dados. Participaram desta pesquisa, 12 psicólogos que atuam na área da Assistência Social, inseridos no Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS) e que atendem famílias em contexto de vulnerabilidade social. A análise do material coletado foi realizada por meio da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Os resultados demonstraram que o psicólogo, ao iniciar na área da Assistência Social, depara-se com diversos desafios relacionados, tanto ao conteúdo teórico acadêmico, por ele considerado insuficiente diante à prática, quanto ao trabalho com a equipe de profissionais que a área exige; experiência essa que não obteve em sua formação acadêmica. O desenvolvimento de sua identidade profissional é caracterizado por um processo com fases permeadas pela sensação de choque no contato inicial com a prática na assistência, seguida por crises, desafios e superação, utilizando, como recursos para enfrentamento, a aquisição de conhecimentos teóricos diversos, bem como o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias de atuação no trabalho em equipe. O contato com a vulnerabilidade social desencadeia a revisão de seus valores pessoais, de sua prática e formação, numa espiral crescente no desenvolvimento profissional, levando-o à contínua busca por formação. / This paper aimed to investigate and to comprehend the development of the psychologist professional identity who works in social work area assisting families in social vulnerability context. The social vulnerability and resilience concepts, and their relation to interdisciplinary contexts as well, that influences the identity development of the psychologist are discussed and analyzed with support of Bioecological of Human Development Theory. It is a qualitative study using semistructured interviews for gatering the data. The participants were 12 psychologists workers of social assistance area, all of them included in the Social Assistance Unique System SUAS and assisting families in social vulnerability context. The data were analyzed with support of Grounded Theory Methodology. The results showed that the psychologist who begins working into social assistance area, faces with several challenges, as regarding to theorical academic knowledge, which is considered insufficient for the practice, as regarding to the work with a professional team that the area require, and this one also is an experience not approached in his undergraduation years. The development of his professional identity is caracterized by a process with phases, with a chock sensation in his initial contacts into de assistance pratice, following by crises, challenges and overcoming experiences, using as copping resources the acquisition of theorical knowledge and the development of new teamwork strategies as well. The contact with social vulnerability triggers the review of his personal values, his practice and background academic, making an upward spiral in professional development, leading him to the search for a continuous education.

Denna flermetodiska studie har som syfte att undersöka hur ”barn i social utsatthet” tas upp i utbildningen. I studien har intervjuer med representanter från tio olika lärosäten, en webbenkätundersökning med yrkesverksamma på fritidshem och en innehållsanalys av lärosätens kurslitteratur använts. Intervjuerna har analyserats och tolkats utifrån ett barnrättsperspektiv med hjälp av diskurspsykologi och teorier om professionalisering, de-professionalisering och gränsarbete. Resultaten har utgått från tre teman: området ”barn i social utsatthet”, utbildningen idag och framtida behov inom utbildningen. Uttrycket ”barn i social utsatthet” innefattar många områden samt att anmälningar och utbildningens längd kan bidra till problematiska dilemman utifrån ett barnrättsperspektiv. I studiens slutsats kommer vi fram till att en diskussion rörande kunskaper om området ”barn i social utsatthet” behövs. En ny omarbetad, uppgraderad och mer omfattande Grundlärarutbildning med inriktning mot fritidshem skulle kunna leda till ett tydligare uppdrag och en gränsarbetande barnrättsprofession för allmänhetens bästa.

[pt] No contexto do processo de redemocratização do Estado brasileiro, a Aprendizagem Profissional - modelo de formação técnica-profissional, de caráter inicial, implementada por meio de um contrato de trabalho -, institucionalizada como política pública, na década de 1940, como veículo do processo de industrialização nacional, será reconfigurada e emergirá, após retração de sua oferta nacional, como o principal vetor do direito à profissionalização dos adolescentes e jovens, em especial daqueles em situação de vulnerabilidade social e de baixa renda. Tomando como ponto de partida a análise histórica dos processos de surgimento, institucionalização e reconfiguração da aprendizagem profissional, esta tese tem como objetivo central investigar a constituição, ainda em curso, de seus novos sentidos e finalidades, social e educacional, no contexto de sua expansão e consolidação, ao longo das duas últimas décadas, como a mais perene e única política pública nacional centrada no processo de transição escola-trabalho. A realização desta investigação teve como norte a análise das distintas apropriações, interpretações dos atores estatais e sociais envolvidos na implementação da política acerca da sua nova finalidade: constituir-se como vetor de garantia do direito à profissionalização. Com base na teoria do Modelo de Coalizões de Defesa, esta tese concentrou a sua análise na investigação das ideias, valores e proposições do subsistema da política, constituído pelo conjunto dos diversos atores, estatais e sociais, que lidam com a Aprendizagem Profissional, destacando as suas crenças, os seus conflitos e os seus impasses em torno das definições acerca de quais problemas precisam ser enfrentados e dos objetivos e dos impactos a serem alcançados pela nova política de Aprendizagem Profissional. Deste contexto de análise, buscou-se evidenciar a relação entre tais definições e os resultados e alcance da nova política; avaliar o quanto a nova feição finalística emergente do processo de implementação da política se distingue e se assemelha dos modelos correcionais, assistencialistas e tecnicistas que marcaram a Aprendizagem Profissional ao longo da história brasileira; e apontar os novos rumos que a política vem tomando. / [en] Apprenticeship – a system of technical-vocational training implemented through work contract in which someone learns a trade by working under a certified expert - was institutionalized in Brazil as a public policy in the 1940s, as a vehicle for the process of national industrialization. In the context of the process of redemocratization of the Brazilian State in the 1980s, it was reconfigured and, after decades of retraction of its national offer, emerged as the main vector of the right to professionalization of adolescents and young people, especially those in situations of social vulnerability and low income. Taking as a starting point the historical analysis of the processes of emergence, institutionalization and reconfiguration of apprenticeship, the main objective of this thesis is to investigate the constitution, still in progress, of its identity, its new meanings and its social and educational purposes. It will focus on the context of its expansion and consolidation, over the last two decades, as the most perennial and only national public policy centered on the school-work transition process. This investigation about the constitution of the new identity of the learning policy was guided by the analysis of the different interpretations held both by the state and the social actors involved in the implementation of the policy regarding its new purpose, which is to constitute itself as means to guarantee the right to professionalization. Based on Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), this thesis focused its analysis on the investigation of ideas, values and propositions of the policy subsystem, which is constituted by the set of different actors, state and social, that deal with the apprenticeship. The analysis highlights their beliefs, their conflicts and their impasses around the definitions about which problems need to be faced and the objectives and impacts to be achieved by the new learning policy. From this context of analysis, we sought to highlight to what extent this new identity, that emerges from the process of implementing the policy, is different from and similar to the correctional, assistance and technical models that marked learning throughout Brazilian history, and to point out the new directions that the policy is taking.

Cette thèse porte sur l’examen des distorsions communicationnelles à partir de communications établies entre les enfants vulnérables et le personnel à l’intérieur de la société de l’Imam Ali. Ces communications ont été étudiées à la lumière des vécus des enfants dans les trois dimensions de la vie des enfants vulnérables. Il s’agit des dimensions psychosociale (parcours et histoires des enfants placés dans les maisons d’accueil), communautaire (famille et groupes sociaux proches) et sociale; et nous l’avons fait en nous rattachant à la théorie de l’agir communicationnel de Habermas (1987), en tenant compte de la structure éthico-politique de la société iranienne. Pour ce faire, nous avons aussi introduit des concepts de vulnérabilité et de violence dans la ligne d’une objectivation des distorsions communicationnelles dans le cas d’enfants vulnérables. Cette question a été traitée comme étant une question éthique à partir de discours des enfants et du personnel par rapport à la question suivante : vers quoi s’orientent les communications entre les deux champs humains qui interagissent dans les maisons d’accueil de la société de l’Imam Ali, soit les enfants et les membres du personnel? Vont-elles plutôt dans le sens de la contrainte ou plutôt dans le sens de la coopération (communicationnel)? La méthodologie de recherche est partie d’une approche logico-pragmatique fondée sur l’argumentation. Elle est basée sur certaines contributions théoriques de la logique naturelle (Grize, 1996) et sur l’éthique de la discussion (Habermas, 1987-2013). Selon nos résultats, il existe une zone de violence qui se trouve à la racine de la religion islamique. L'étude a révélé que les sujets vulnérables subissent à la fois de la violence visible et de la violence silencieuse provenant des structures sociales, cela rendant leur état de plus en plus vulnérable et précaire. De plus, le monde des enfants est colonisé par une communication dirigée vers un « non-dialogue » dans l’espace dédié à leur protection. Il ressort de cette étude que les communications établies dans les maisons d’accueil se basent sur une éthique de la religion islamique, et elles mènent par-là à des chemins représentant des processus de reconnaissance et de socialisation religieuse. Les propos que nous avons fait émerger nous ont permis d’affirmer l’existence d’une forte contrainte d’ordre religieux – voir la violence silencieuse. C’est pourquoi ces espaces de vie ne remplissent pas les conditions préalables à la réalisation d’une éthique de discussion dans le sens habermassien. Cette recherche révèle un cycle de violence silencieuse inscrit dans les structures sociales de l’Iran et perturbant le contexte de l’agir communicationnel dans un contexte d’enfants vulnérables. La conséquence en est l’émergence d’un processus de déformation qui entraîne des distorsions communicationnelles. L’étude a ouvert la voie à une nouvelle piste de recherche dirigée vers les distorsions communicationnelles qui révèlent de nouveaux aspects pathogènes d’une contrainte exercée par un pouvoir politico-administratif. / This thesis focuses on the study of distortions of communications between the vulnerable children served by the Imam Ali Society and its staff. These communications were studied by looking at three dimensions of the experiences of those children, namely, the psychosocial dimension (paths and stories of the children placed in foster homes), the community dimension (family and close social groups) and the social one. It was carried out by employing Habermas's theory of communicative action (1987) while taking into account the ethico-political structure of the Iranian society. For this purpose, we also introduced concepts of vulnerability and violence in order to objectify communication distortions in the case of vulnerable children. The problem was approached as an ethical conundrum in the children and staff interactions regarding the following questions: in which direction is the communications between the children and the staff in the Imam Ali Society Shelter taking place? Are they more in the direction of constraint or rather in the direction of cooperation? The methodology of this research is part of a logico-pragmatic approach based on argumentation. It is based on certain theoretical contributions of natural logic (Grize, 1996) and the discourse ethics theory (Habermas, 1987-2013). According to our results, there is a zone of violence and increased vulnerability, source of which is mostly routed in Islam. This research also leads us to identify a zone of vulnerability, where the vulnerable are exposed to both visible and silent violence from social structures, making their condition more and more vulnerable and precarious. In addition, the children's lives are colonized by a communication directed towards a "non-dialogue" in the social space rather than one dedicated to their protection. The study indicates that communications established in the shelter of the Imam Ali Society are based on Islamic ethics, leading thereby to paths representing processes of religious recognition and socialization. This research identified the existence of a strong religious constraint i.e., silent violence. For this reason, these spheres of life do not fulfill the preconditions for realization of a Habermassian ethical discourse theory. Our work demonstrates a cycle of silent violence embedded in the Iran's social structures, disrupting communication in the context of vulnerable children. The consequence is the emergence of deformation processes that lead to communication distortions. This research paved the way for a new line of research on communication distortions revealing new pathogenic aspects of a constraint exerted by a politico-administrative power.

Diese Arbeit zeigt die Reproduktion ungleicher Risikolandschaften von Überschwemmungen auf. Die fortschreitende Urbanisierung in den Küstenregionen der Welt ist mit zahlreichen unterschiedlichen Risiken verbunden, denen sozio-ökonomisch benachteiligte Gruppen in besonderem Grad ausgesetzt sind. Dennoch ist Wissen über soziale Dynamiken, die solch ungleichen Risikolandschaften zugrunde liegen, gegenwärtig begrenzt. Das Densu Delta, ein dynamisch urbanisierendes Feuchtgebiet westlich von Accra, dient hier als Fallstudie, die anhand von qualitativen Daten mit Methoden der Humangeographie untersucht wird. Die übergeordnete Forschungsfrage lautet: Was sind die Beziehungen und Dynamiken, die die Verteilung von Überschwemmungsrisiken gestalten, und wie verfestigen sich diese in den gegenwärtig stark ungleichen Mustern von Überschwemmungsrisiken rund um das Densu Delta? Das Konzept ‚Risikolandschaften‘ (‚riskscape‘) wird hier mit Sichtweisen des kritischen Institutionalismus und der Argumentation verbunden, um Prozesse zu analysieren, die eine ungleiche Verteilung von Vulnerabilität und Anpassungskapazität bedingen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen erstens, dass institutionelle und bio-physische Dynamiken eine vielfältige Landschaft von Vulnerabilität erzeugen. Zweitens wird Anpassungskapazität von dynamischen Autoritätsverhältnissen geprägt. Drittens erweitern Unterschiede in Policy-Argumenten auf verschiedenen Ebenen und in unterschiedlichen Sektoren die Implementierungslücke in der Anpassung an Überschwemmungen. Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur bestehenden Forschung, indem die Rollen von Schlüsselakteuren und von unsichtbaren Praktiken und Institutionen in der (Re-) Produktion von ungleichen Risikolandschaften betont werden. Diese werden hier am Beispiel von Überschwemmungen im Densu Delta in Accra aufgezeigt. Skalenübergreifende Interaktionen in Risikolandschaften und deren praktische Implikationen für die Minimierung von Überschwemmungsrisiken bedürfen der weiteren Forschung. / The thesis shows how uneven landscapes of urban flood risk are (re)produced. Coastal urbanisation comes with multiple risks, to which the poor are particularly exposed. Social dynamics underlying uneven riskscapes are however poorly understood. The Densu delta in Accra, a dynamically urbanising wetland, is analysed as a case based on qualitative data with methods from human geography. The overall research question is: What are the relations and dynamics that shape the distribution of flood risks, and how are they materialised in the currently highly uneven patterns of flood risk around the Densu delta? The concept of ‘riskscape’ is applied through lenses of critical institutionalism and argumentation to analyse the processes behind uneven distribution of vulnerability and adaptive capacity. Findings are that firstly, institutional and bio-physical dynamics produce a diverse landscape of vulnerability. Secondly, dynamics of authority shape adaptive capacity. Thirdly, disparities in policy arguments widen implementation gaps in adaptation to flooding. The research contributes to the existing literature in highlighting the role of actors and underlying practices and institutions in shaping multiple uneven riskscapes. In the present research the reproduction of uneven riskscapes of flooding is shown for the Densu delta case. Further research ought to look at cross-scale interactions between riskscapes and their practical implications for flood risk reduction.

L'exclusion sociale est considérée comme l'une des situations les plus douloureuses pour les êtres humains. Les travaux dans ce domaine montrent que même de brefs épisodes d’ostracisme (paradigme du Cyberball) ont des effets importants aux niveaux neurophysiologique, émotionnel et comportemental, l’impact de cet ostracisme au niveau cognitif néanmoins n'a pas reçu beaucoup d'attention. Des résultats récents mettent en évidence une influence négative de l'ostracisme sur les marqueurs électrophysiologiques du contrôle cognitif, il n'y a cependant à ce jour aucune preuve directe d’une réduction de contrôle cognitif sous l’effet d’une exclusion sociale. Dans nos travaux nous avons étudié l'impact de l'ostracisme (Cyberball) sur le contrôle cognitif avec la tâche standard de Simon couplée à des analyses distributionnelles des temps de réaction auprès de populations caractérisées ou non par des expériences chroniques d’ostracisme (i.e., des étudiants ordinaires dans l’Étude 1, des personnes illettrées dans l'Étude 2 et des chômeurs de longue durée dans l'Étude 3). Dans les trois études, de brefs épisodes d'exclusion sociale suffisent à dégrader le niveau de satisfaction exprimé par les participants à l’égard des besoins fondamentaux (appartenance sociale, existence significative, estime de soi, contrôle des événements). Ces effets, cependant, s’avèrent réduits dans les populations chroniquement frappées d'ostracisme, suggérant leur moindre sensibilité à l'exclusion sociale en jeu dans le Cyberball. Plus important encore, cet ostracisme provoque chez les participants non stigmatisés une diminution du contrôle cognitif (Étude 1), mise en évidence dans nos travaux par un effet Simon stable (plutôt que réduit) sur les temps de réaction les plus longs pourtant les plus sensibles à l’expression d’un processus d'inhibition. Cependant, nos résultats ne montrent aucune différence de sensibilité entre les participants chroniquement ostracisés et leurs groupes contrôle (les Études 2 et 3), suggérant une certaine faiblesse du paradigme Cyberball auprès des personnes en situation d'exclusion sociale dans leur vie quotidienne. Nos résultats remettent donc en question la prédominance de ce paradigme pour la compréhension des effets cognitifs de l’exclusion sociale, au moins chez les individus caractérisés par un ostracisme chronique. / Impact on cognitive control, emotions and fundamental needsRésumé : Social exclusion is considered as one of the most painful situations for human beings. Past research showed that even brief episodes of ostracism (the Cyberball paradigm) have strong effects at the neurophysiological, emotional, and behavioral levels, its impact at the cognitive level however did not receive much attention. Recent findings revealed a negative influence of ostracism on electrophysiological markers of cognitive control, yet there is no direct evidence that being socially excluded reduces cognitive control. Here, we investigated the impact of ostracism (using the Cyberball) on cognitive control using a standard Simon task and distributional reaction time analyses with non-chronically-ostracized and chronically-ostracized populations (regular students in Study 1, illiterate people in Study 2, and long-term unemployed people in Study 3). In the three studies, brief episodes of social exclusion had negative effects on participants’ self-reports of fundamental needs' satisfaction (belonging, meaningful existence, self-esteem, and control). These effects, however, were substantially reduced in chronically-ostracized populations, suggesting that ostracism based on the Cyberball is a bit less meaningful for those populations. More importantly, this ostracism caused a transitory reduction in cognitive control in the non-chronically-ostracized participants (Study 1), as indicated by a stable (rather than decreased) Simon effect on longer reaction times where inhibition yet is more likely. However, we found no evidence of a differential sensitivity between the chronically-ostracized participants and their control groups (Study 2 and Study 3), suggesting that the Cyberball paradigm is not powerful enough with people experiencing social exclusion in their ordinary life. Our findings therefore call into question the predominance of the Cyberball paradigm for our understanding of the cognitive effects of ostracism, at least in chronically ostracized-individuals.
