Sociological theoretical fundamentals were used and historical facts related to women's participation in society and their resistance movements were described. Religious groups in the district of Higienópolis, which had been introduced at different times and each with its own historical and religious characteristics, were identified Catholics, Jews and Protestants. The meaning that women associated with these groups and comprising almost the total number of their members attributed to the social practices that they developed showed an assistentialist perception with little commitment to changing reality. This study was concluded by indicating the need to install educational measures aiming a greater involvement of society with more consequent and transforming social activities. / A partir de considerações sobre a representatividade do papel desempenhado pelas mulheres nas práticas sociais, especialmente como integrantes de grupos religiosos, este estudo foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de identificar, no bairro de Higienópolis, São Paulo a atuação desses grupos, buscando compreender o significado atribuído por mulheres que neles atuam. Procedeu-se à fundamentação teórica, aproximando-se da sociologia, e à descrição de fatos históricos relacionados à participação da mulher na sociedade e seus movimentos de resistência. Foram identificados os grupos religiosos presentes no bairro de Higienópolis católicos, judeus e protestantes que nele se introduziram em épocas diferentes, cada qual com suas características históricas e religiosas. O significado que as mulheres vinculadas a esses grupos, e que constituem a quase totalidade de seus membros, atribuem às práticas sociais que desenvolvem, denotam uma percepção assistencialista e pouco comprometida com transformações da realidade. Este estudo conclui indicando a necessidade de se instituir medidas educativas, visando ao maior envolvimento da sociedade em atividades sociais mais conseqüentes e transformadoras.

We will search the concept of modern subjectivity in the historical analyses of the subjectivity of the social practices undertaken by Michel Foucault experiences in the Greco-roman antiquity, in the first centuries of the Christian era and the formation of the modern individual manufactured by the scientific discourse. History and subjectivity are tied for philosophical dominions, in the analyses of the knowledge presented in the social practices, we can reinterrogate the knowledge, the individual and the conditions which transforms it into an individual with knowledge. We observe that the practice of taking care of itself are elements which constitute the subjectivity in the ancient history. Substantiating on the existence of an individual who postulates the truth through ethical procedures, which regulates itself and the others. In the modernity, social practices are revealed in the scientific knowledge led for the Human Sciences, that order the game of the representations of the subject as an object and knowledge. / Esta pesquisa objetivou buscar a formação histórica do conceito de subjetividade moderna na sociedade ocidental, problematizando a concepção que coloca o homem como sujeito unitário, autônomo, cognoscente e objeto de seu próprio conhecimento sobre o qual a própria razão se baseia, analisando suas implicações com a educação e formação do sujeito. Buscaremos o conceito de subjetividade moderna nas análises históricas das práticas sociais de subjetividades empreendidas por Michel Foucault na antiguidade greco-romana, nos primeiros séculos da era cristã e na formação do sujeito moderno fabricado pelo discurso cientifico. História e subjetividade se entrecruzam por domínios filosóficos. Nas análises dos saberes presentes nas práticas sociais podemos reinterrogar o conhecimento, o sujeito e as condições que o transformam em sujeito de conhecimento. Observamos que as práticas do cuidado de si são elementos que constituem a subjetividade na antiguidade, fundamentando a existência de um sujeito que postula a verdade através de procedimentos éticos, que regulam a si e aos outros. Na modernidade, as práticas sociais estão reveladas no saber científico conduzido pelas Ciências Humanas, que ordenam o jogo das representações do sujeito como objeto e como conhecimento.

Dans cette thèse, nous traitons de l'apprentissage/enseignement de l'Amazighe au Maroc et de sa graphie Tifinaghe. Dans le cadre théorique, nous éclairons quelques concepts sociolinguistiques et didactiques en présentant des situations de langues minorées (catalan, corse) et en présentant la situation de l'Amazighe en France, en Algérie et au Maroc. C'est dans ce dernier - le Maroc - que notre enquête s'est effectuée pour expliciter le choix de cette graphie Tifinaghe pour enseigner/apprendre l'Amazighe, les conditions de ce choix, les représentations faites de cette graphie et les pratiques de classe des acteurs scolaires (enseignants et élèves). Concernant ces trois volets, (conditions, représentations et pratiques), nous sommes partie d'un recueil varié de données documentaires et médiatiques ainsi que d'une enquête de terrain : elles nous permettront d'analyser les conditions dans lesquelles l'écriture Tifinaghe est en train d'être diffusée au Maroc. / The central thrust of this thesis is to address issues relative to the teaching/learning of Amazigh and its graphic system in Morocco. Addressing such minority languages is meant to pave the way to a better understanding of the situation of Amazigh and its teaching in a whole range of countries such as Morocco, Algeria and France. In Morocco, where our investigation has been undertaken, we have tried to accomodate issues ranging over as many points as the choice of Tifinaghe Graphy for the teaching/learning of this languages, the abstracted representations of this graphy and the practices of school actors (teachers and pupils) in the classroom. To contend with the three facets namely the conditions, representations and practices of teaching Amazigh language and graphy, we have based our analysis on a varied collection of documentary and media data along with a field investigation to get around the conditions under which the Tifinaghe writing system is being diffused in Morocco.

Theories of cognition and theories of social practices and institutions have often each separately acknowledged the relevance of the other; but seldom have there been consistent and sustained attempts to synthesize these two areas within one explanatory framework. This is precisely what my dissertation aims to remedy. I propose that certain recent developments and themes in philosophy of mind and cognitive science, when understood in the right way, can explain the emergence and dynamics of social practices and institutions. Likewise, the view I construct explains how social practices and institutions shape the character of cognition of their constituent agents. Moreover, I explain both cognitive and social agency under the single explanatory framework provided by Dynamic Systems Theory. Drawing upon the phenomenological tradition, "embodied, "extended", "embedded", "enactive", and "ecological" approaches to cognition, as well as the conceptual resources of Dynamic Systems Theory, I construct a theory of agency that sees cognitive and social agents as far-from-equilibrium, open, recursively self-maintenant dynamic systems. Depending on the specifics of concrete circumstances, such systems, which I call "Dynamic Embodied Agents" (or DEAs), may develop and possess emergent capacities for error-detection, flexible learning, normative behavior, representation, self-reflection, various modes of pattern-recognition, a temporal sense of self, and even moral responsibility. Some such systems are also sensitive to perceived social influences (practices and institutions); while reciprocally constituting and causally affecting them.

After a brief overview of the standard attempts to give the persistence conditions of artifacts through time and material changes, I develop and present an account which capitalizes on Koons’s theory that artifacts are in some robust and important way social practices in order to explain their persistence through time. After one unsuccessful attempt to formulate a view that is not susceptible to Ship of Theseus like problems concerning the persistence conditions of artifacts, I present the full view: artifacts become artifacts when they are arranged in a particular formal manner by someone who is engaging in a creative social practice. The artifact then remains the same artifact so long as its form is sufficiently preserved and maintained according to maintaining social practices. In this way, the social practice that unifies the artifact is like the life that unifies an organism—so long as the social practice and the form persist, the artifact is the same artifact. To conclude, I look at several problems my view cannot yet account for, such as the persistence conditions of objects that are not manmade artifacts, and the commitment to ontic vagueness that my view seems to entail. / text

He/she Seeks a crossing of profiles of representations and social practices of students' reading and teachers of the Courses of Pedagogy and Letters of an university of the State of Santa Catarina, in the year of 2003. The reading is analyzed under the glances of the researched subjects of the mentioned institution, through a questionnaire and to the light of some theories. The interest for this theme felt for the need in understanding him/it better, researching, like this, pertinent aspects to the same, as: representations and social practices of teachers' readings and students of two degree courses, where one presuppose a largest concern to exist with the reading in their more varied forms and practices. The social representations are built in the collectivity and they reflect the several situations, besides in the subject of the reading. The language is product of a collectivity, it reproduces in sentences the knowledge and the values associated to social practices that you/they crystallize. The language reproduces a world vision. The social practices of reading also contribute in the construction of images, reinforcing present aspects in the speeches and in the own practices. Like this, the reading is a red social practice in gestures, spaces, habits, and it produces a sense. When crossing the profiles of the researched subjects it was noticed that the cultural subject and the imaginary social they implicate in an outstanding way in the representations and in the social practices of reading revealed in their speeches. The analysis of their speeches, done in this study, it is, therefore, a reading of the readings of those researched. The one that she present is a representation of the representations of the researched subjects / O presente trabalho de pesquisa consolida o Curso de Mestrado em Educação e Cultura, sendo requisito para obtenção do título de Mestre; constituindo-se em um Estudo de Caso e contempla a temática Leitura, em um sentido mais amplo da palavra. Visa um cruzamento de perfis de representações e práticas sociais de leitura de alunos e professores dos Cursos de Pedagogia e Letras de uma universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina, no ano de 2003. A leitura é analisada sob os olhares dos sujeitos pesquisados da instituição mencionada, por meio de um questionário e à luz de algumas teorias. O interesse por este tema se deu pela necessidade em compreendê-lo melhor, pesquisando, assim, aspectos pertinentes ao mesmo, como: representações e práticas sociais de leituras de professores e alunos de dois cursos de licenciatura, onde se pressupõe existir uma preocupação maior com a leitura nas suas mais variadas formas e práticas. As representações sociais são construídas na coletividade e refletem as diversas situações, inclusive na questão da leitura. A linguagem é produto de uma coletividade, reproduz em frases os conhecimentos e os valores associados a práticas sociais que se cristalizam. A linguagem reproduz uma visão de mundo. As práticas sociais de leitura também contribuem na construção de imagens, reforçando aspectos presentes nos discursos e nas próprias práticas. Assim, a leitura é uma prática social encarnada em gestos, espaços, hábitos, e produz um sentido. Ao cruzar os perfis dos sujeitos pesquisados percebeu-se que a questão cultural e o imaginário social implicam de maneira marcante nas representações e nas práticas sociais de leitura desveladas nos seus discursos. A análise de seus discursos, feita neste estudo, é, portanto, uma leitura das leituras dos pesquisados. O que se apresenta é uma representação das representações dos sujeitos pesquisados

Comment rendre compte du rapport dialectique entre la densité des interactions sociales et la construction du développement dans un système d’action local que peut constituer le territoire ? Voilà une question centrale à laquelle tente de répondre notre thèse. La problématique du développement local est posée au regard des processus portés par des acteurs de tout ordre, inscrits dans des contextes de construction de leur territoire. La Commune rurale de Fandène est un laboratoire riche en matière d’expérimentation de pratiques de développement, favorable à l’étude pour toucher le local, l’acteur et pour pénétrer dans le coeur de l’action, des situations sociales enfouies ; là où logiques d’action et stratégies d’acteurs s’enchevêtrent au quotidien des projets et initiatives de développement. Ainsi, la socioanthropologie du développement s’est révélée utile pour aborder ces questions et a favorisé l’utilisation de l’approche systémique pour analyser les interactions dans les organisations locales (GIE, GPF), entre ces dernières et les organismes de développement (ONG) d’une part ; les motivations des acteurs à prendre part à l’action dite de développement, d’autre part. Avec des observations, entretiens et questionnaires, l’enquête de terrain a permis de récolter des informations sur les acteurs, les relations sociales créées, dont l’analyse a permis entre autres, un début, incomplet certes mais intéressant, de « profilage » de certains acteurs, en se basant sur les motifs et intentions de participation à l’action collective. / How to give an account of the dialectical relationship between the density of social interactions and the building of development in a local system of action which the territory can constitute? This is the key question which our thesis tries to answer. The issues of local development are posed with regards to processes carried out by actors of all kinds, registered in contexts of building their territory. The rural municipality of Fandène is a laboratory rich for experimentation of development practices. As such, Fandène is ideal for studying the act of reaching the local, the actor and, to penetrate into the heart of the action, hidden social situations; where the logic of action and the strategies of actors are muddled in the everyday life of projects and development initiatives. Thus, the socioanthropology of development turned out to be useful in addressing these questions and promoted the use of the systematic approach to analyze interactions, on the one hand, the interactions both in the local organizations (EIG, FPG), and between them and the agencies of Development (NGO), and, on the other hand, the motivations of the actors to take part in the so-called development. With observations, interviews and questionnaires, the field inquiry allowed for the collection of data on the actors and created social relationships, whose analysis allowed for, among other things, the start of an incomplete but interesting, ''profiling'' of certain actors, based on the motives and intentions of participating in collective action.

Nessa perspectiva, o desenvolvimento da competência leitora, foco do nosso trabalho, pode possibilitar aos sujeitos/alunos uma atuação mais autônoma e crítica no contexto em que estão inseridos. Para isso, é importante que o docente, ao realizar seu planejamento, selecione os textos, considerando os objetivos pretendidos para a turma e defina estratégias necessárias para o desenvolvimento de atividades de leitura, com vistas a auxiliar o aluno na construção de uma compreensão para o texto. Diante de tudo isso, desenvolvemos uma pesquisa-ação de abordagem qualitativa e descritiva, que partiu da inquietação de querer conhecer a rotina das aulas de leitura em duas turmas de oitavo ano, em uma Escola Pública Estadual, localizada na cidade de Petrolina- PE, a fim de entender se os direcionamentos, aplicados pelo professor, oferecem as condições necessárias para a concretização de um trabalho produtivo e relevante com a leitura. A análise dos dados coletados nos fez concluir que o docente colaborador demonstra ter consciência do seu papel de mediador no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, porém não consegue desempenhá-lo em sua prática, que ainda está bastante arraigada ao método tradicional. De acordo com os estudos bibliográficos, que serviram de aporte para este trabalho, principalmente, os que se referem às ideias defendidas por Solé (1998), Kleiman (1993,1995) e Marcuschi (2002, 2005, 2008), a eficiência no ensino de leitura só é possível por meio da aplicação de uma prática docente que considere, entre outras coisas, os conhecimentos prévios do aluno, o contexto social e cultural no qual estão inseridos e os anseios desses sujeitos por leituras que sejam significativas para eles. Assim, com a pretensão de contribuirmos, de forma positiva, para uma possível mudança na realidade escolar, estabelecemos como objetivo geral desta pesquisa: analisar a prática docente com vistas a produzir um material de apoio didático para o professor, apresentando uma proposta de ensino de leitura voltada para as práticas sociais do aluno. Essa proposta é estruturada em quatro oficinas, facilmente aplicáveis e que trazem como objeto de estudo textos, que possuem um alinhamento com a vida social dos discentes para os quais a sua aplicação é destinada. / Offering a teaching that provides to the students the reconnaissance, reading, comprehension and writing of texts belonging to the different genres is the function of the school. From that point of view, the development of reading competence, the focus of our work, aims empower the subjects/students to act with an autonomous and critical performance in the context where they are inserted. This way, when carrying out the planning, it is necessary that the professor selects the texts considering the intended goals to the group and he defines the needed strategies to the development of reading activities with a view to assist the student in production of a comprehension for the text. Therefore, we develop a research-action with an qualitative and descriptive approach that started from the concern to know the routine of reading classes in two groups of eighth grader of elementary school at a State Public School located on Petrolina city-PE, in order to understand if the applied directions by the professor offer the necessary conditions to the achievement of a productive and relevant action with the reading. The analyses of the collected data make us concluded us that the collaborator professor demonstrates the sense of his function to mediate the teaching-learning process, however he cannot performance it in his action that is still considerable rooted to the traditional method. According to the bibliographic studies that were the theoretical basis for this work, mainly those that refer to the ideas defended by Solé (1998), Kleiman (1993,1995) and Marcuschi (2002, 2005, 2008), the efficiency in teaching reading is only possible through applicability of a teaching practice that considers the students’ previous knowledge, the social and cultural context where they are inserted and their wishes for readings that are meaningful for them. Thus, with the pretension to contribute positively for a possible change in the school reality and according to the analyses of detected data, we establish as general objective of this research: to analyze the teaching practice in order to produce a teaching support material for the professor. It will be possible with the presentation of a teaching of reading proposal focused on the social practices of student. This proposal is organized by four workshops easily applied and they involve texts as object of study that have a concordance with the students’ social life whose application is destined.

The concern in listen to what children have to say about their experiences is awaken by the desire to know their impressions about the world they live in, their experiences in the world and with the world, as children, as some community childhood elements. This Master Degree research was oriented by the following research question: How do children mean their participation in the Project Building Tomorrow ? Presenting as target to analyze the meanings built by children about their participation in the Project Building Tomorrow , developed at the County Elementary School (EMEF) from the Whole Attention Center to Children (CAIC) Laura Suriani Barbuio , a public school located in a suburban area in Santa Rita do Passa Quatro-SP, observing and trying to understand how they mean to be part of the Project. We decided for the qualitative descriptive approach, adopting as data gathering instruments the participants observation registered in field diaries and discussion groups with the contributors in audio recordings. The data gathering was made in the months of April, May and June 2013, in the Project Building Tomorrow . This research contributors are children aged between 7 and 10 years old (Elementary School I), who participate in the Project. It has been realized that Project classes and activities are moments when the girls besides leaning what are supposed to with the activities; they also learn how to coexist with each other and organize themselves as a group. As they recognize and understand themselves as a group, the children are building a feeling of belonging, affection and a bond that make them look for each other in order to find their common things. Also recognizing that there are differences and divergences, they start to look at what is different and what makes them choose between options, by taking decisions that are essential to the continuity of their coexistence. By choosing what is most significant for them, the contributors group draw their own way to be children and live their childhood. / Pesquisar com crianças reflete um encontro com nossa própria criança, com nossos maiores desejos, mas também com nossos maiores medos. O interesse em ouvir o que as crianças tem a dizer sobre suas vivências é despertado pelo desejo em saber as impressões delas próprias sobre o mundo que as cerca, sobre as experiências delas no mundo e com o mundo, enquanto crianças, enquanto infâncias de determinada comunidade. Esta pesquisa de Mestrado foi orientada pela seguinte questão de pesquisa: Como as crianças significam a sua participação no Projeto Construindo o Amanhã ? Apresentamos como objetivo analisar os significados construídos pelas crianças sobre participação no Projeto Construindo o Amanhã , desenvolvido na Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental (EMEF) do Centro de Atenção Integral à Criança (CAIC) Laura Suriani Barbuio , uma escola pública localizada em um bairro periférico de Santa Rita do Passa Quatro-SP, observando e buscando compreender como elas significam o estar no Projeto. Optamos pela abordagem qualitativa de caráter descritivo, adotando como instrumentos de coleta de dados a observação participante com registros em diários de campo e rodas de conversa com as colaboradoras com gravação em áudio. A coleta dos dados foi realizada nos meses de abril, maio e junho de 2013, no Projeto Construindo o Amanhã . As colaboradoras dessa pesquisa são crianças com idade entre 7 e 10 anos (Ensino Fundamental I), que frequentam o Projeto. Percebemos que as aulas e atividades do Projeto são momentos em que as meninas além de aprender o que se espera que aprendam com as atividades, aprendem também a conviver entre si e organizar-se enquanto grupo. Ao se reconhecerem e se perceberem enquanto grupo, as crianças vão construindo um sentimento de pertencimento, uma afetividade e um vínculo, que fazem com que estas passem a olhar umas para as outras, buscando seus pontos em comum. Reconhecendo também que há diferenças e divergências, passam a olhar também para o diferente, para aquilo que demanda que elas façam opções, tomando decisões que são imprescindíveis para a continuidade da convivência. Ao fazerem opções por aquilo que lhes é mais significativo, o grupo de colaboradoras vai delineando uma maneira própria de ser criança e viver a infância.

In Brazil, the issues related to sexual orientation were materialized in the National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs) in the form of transversal theme, in volume 10 Cultural Plurality and sexual orientation to be developed by all pedagogical subjects and activities of school. The overall objective of this study is to investigate the discursive positions of teachers in the municipality of Itapororoca-PB, face the situations experienced relating to issues of sexuality in everyday school life. It is a qualitative ethnographic research, enlists in applied linguistics and theoretically-oriented by discourse analysis, Orlandi (2003), by the theorizing of Foucault (1988) and Louro (1997). The data resulting from the questionnaire were analyzed, these data were supplemented through circle of conversations with teachers. The analysis of the narratives of the participants educators of the investigation demonstrated the need for actions that provide the live (live together) with cultural diversity, in particular the issues related to sexual diversity, pointed out the teachers’ difficulty in dealing with these issues in the school routine. Among these difficulties are: the taboo that prevails in society, the perception conflicts, lack of time for a more effective dialogue with the student, lack of a deeper knowledge on the subject, difficult to identify whether the student's behavior, dress, mannerisms etc., are traces of their sexual orientation, among others presented results that support an intervention proposal for Portuguese language teachers. This study represented an epistemological challenge in seeking for new meaning in the look for the reinvention of social life. / A diversidade sexual é uma questão relevante, que está no centro das atenções de pesquisas realizadas, tanto no campo da educação, como em outros relativos às ciências sociais e humanas. No Brasil, as questões relacionadas a orientação sexual foram materializadas nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais (PCNs), na forma do tema transversal, no volume 10, Pluralidade Cultural e orientação sexual a ser desenvolvido por todas as disciplinas e atividades pedagógicas da escola. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa é investigar os posicionamentos discursivos de professores(as) do município de Itapororoca-PB, face as situações vivenciadas atinentes as questões de sexualidade no cotidiano escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho etnográfico, inscreve-se na linguística aplicada e orientada teoricamente pela análise do discurso, Orlandi (2003), pelas teorizações de Foucault (1988) e Louro (1997). Foram analisados os dados gerados de questionários, e de roda de conversas com os professores. As análises das narrativas dos(as) educadores(as) demonstraram a necessidade de ações que proporcionem o con(viver) com a pluralidade cultural, em especial com as temáticas relacionadas à diversidade sexual, apontaram para a dificuldade dos professores em lidar com essas questões no cotidiano da escola. Entre as dificuldades assinaladas estão: o tabu que impera na sociedade, os conflitos de percepção, escassez de tempo para um diálogo mais efetivo com o aluno, falta de um conhecimento mais aprofundado sobre a temática, entre outros resultados apresentados, que embasam uma proposta de intervenção para professores/as de língua portuguesa. A pesquisa representou um desafio epistemológico, na busca de ressignificar o olhar em favor da reinvenção da vida social.
