O objetivo deste estudo é dar visibilidade à perspectiva dos Assistentes Sociais, que se encontram historicamente vinculados ao aparato de controle estatal e que, conseqüentemente, atuam em instituições cujas origens foram pautadas na assistência material e moral aos favelados. Em nossa sociedade o local de moradia se constitui como um dos critérios de discriminação social de acordo a uma hierarquia classificatória dos espaços urbanos. Nesta hierarquia, desde sua origem, as favelas constituem um espaço urbano que desqualifica os seus moradores sendo, por isso, entendidas neste trabalho como territórios estigmatizados. A identidade dos moradores de favelas é construída, para eles mesmos e para os outros, como um estigma social, que é vivido cotidianamente nas suas relações sociais, profissionais e com as instituições que constituem o aparato estatal, sejam elas de saúde, educação, segurança ou assistência. Este trabalho busca apreender da fala dos Assistentes Sociais, e dos seus usuários, qual a contribuição da Fundação Leão XIII no processo de construção, manutenção e atualização do estigma social vivenciado pelos moradores da Favela de Vila Ipiranga que utilizam os serviços e programas da Fundação. / [en] This work consists on a study about the practices of the Social Workers at the Leão XIII Foundation, within the shanty-town of Vila Ipiranga, located in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The goal of this study is to describe the limits and possibilities for a social assistance institution, from the point of view of its professionals and clients. Furthermore, this study intent to highlight the perspective of the Social Workers, who are historically linked to state-control institutions and, as a consequence, operates under the institutional concept of material and moral assistance to the poor. In our society the place of residence constitutes criteria for social discrimination, in accordance to a ranking of urban spaces. Within this ranking, since the beginning, the slums are perceived as an urban space that disqualifies their residents and, therefore, they constitute what we call stigmatized territories. The identity of the shanty-towns residents is constructed, for themselves and for others, as a social stigma, which is experienced on their day-to-day social, professional and institutional relations, including the state-controlled institutions related to health care, education, security and social assistance. This work wishes to learn from the Social Workers, and from the clients of the social assistance institutions, the contribution of the Leão XIII Foundation to the process of construction, maintenance and up-dating of the social stigma imposed to the residents of the shanty-town of Vila Ipiranga who are clients of the programs and services offered by the Foundation.

Hjoberg, Felicia January 2018 (has links) Svensk hiphop är en växande genre som kan tolkas ha koppling till socialt utsatta ytterstadsområden. Syftet med föreliggande arbete är att kartlägga och analysera innehållet i utvalda svenska hiphoplåtar. I studien analyserades svenska hiphoptexter i form av två delstudier. Den första bestod av en översikt av 100 hiphoplåtar för att kartlägga olika temans förekomst, och den andra delstudien var en fördjupad analys av tio låtar. Empirin analyserades med stöd av tidigare forskning och begreppen territoriell stigmatisering, machokultur och varumärkesbyggande. Resultatet från studien visar att det finns drag av territoriell stigmatisering och machokultur i låtarna, likväl som ett varumärkesbyggande gällande förorten. Studien skulle kunna förstås ge viss inblick i de tematiska drag som återfinns inom svensk hiphop. Diskussion fördes bland annat kring vilka möjliga konsekvenser hiphoptexter kan ha för de unga män som lyssnar på denna typ av musik. / Swedish hip hop is a growing genre that can be understood to be connected with socially stigmatized areas. The purpose of this work is to map out and analyze the content of chosen Swedish hip hop songs. In the study Swedish hip hop lyrics were analyzed in two parts. The first one was an outline of 100 hip hop songs in order to map out the occurrence of different themes, and the second one was an in-depth analysis of ten songs. The material were analyzed with help of previous research and the theoretical concepts territorial stigmatization, macho culture and branding. The result of the study shows that there’s aspects of territorial stigmatization and macho culture within the songs, as well as branding regarding the Projects. The study can be understood to give some insight through the thematic features that can be found within Swedish hip hop. Among other things the possible consequences for the young men listening to this type of music were discussed. hip hop the Projects socially stigmatized areas territorial stigmatization macho culture branding Swedish of the Projects. hiphop förort socialt utsatta områden territoriell stigmatisering machokultur varumärkesbyggande förortssvenska.

23	The Stigma of "Not Pot English" in Sri Lanka: A Study of Production of /o/ and /O/ and Implications for Instructions Wijetunge, Sumudu Nishamani 22 April 2008 (has links) The inability to differentiate the English vowels /o/ and / O/ has become a stigmatized marker of a lower prestige and widespread dialect of Sri Lankan English. This lower prestige (LP) dialect is often referred to with the derogative phrase “Not pot English”. This study aims to investigate the production of the vowel contrast by native Sinhala speakers of English. To this end, speech samples of three adult learners were analyzed. The findings of the study are discussed according to hypotheses of the Speech Learning Model, which suggests that the existent L1 specific phonetic categories hinder the formation of new L2 sound categories. Here, sounds that are similar, but not identical to L1 sounds are considered to be the most difficult to acquire. Also, the percentage of L1 use and the age of second language acquisition seem to have influenced the production of the vowels. Finally, in order to address this pronunciation issue, an instructional framework to teach pronunciation is proposed.

24	Teacher expectations : the influence of student, teacher, and school variables Rangel, Azucena 28 January 2011 (has links) This dissertation examines the influence of student, teacher, and school variables on English and math teachers' expectations for their students. Findings from multilevel-model analyses of data from the Education Longitudinal Study (ELS: 2002) show that student achievement and stigmatized status are the strongest predictors of teacher expectations. In this study, students could be stigmatized on any of three factors (ethnicity, SES, and native language). Consistent with previous research, teachers' expectations were predicted by student achievement (test scores in reading and math). Teachers' expectations for future student academic attainment were higher for students with higher achievement than for lower-achieving students. This lends support to the argument that teachers are generally accurate in forming expectations. However, also consistent with prior research, student stigmatized status predicted expectations, with stigmatized students receiving lower expectations than non-stigmatized students. Multiple stigmatizations were powerful--students stigmatized on all three factors, in particular, received the lowest expectations. Further analyses indicated that student achievement interacts with student stigmatization for English teachers. At low levels of achievement, teachers held equally low expectations for stigmatized (on three factors) and non-stigmatized students. But, for high levels of achievement, teachers had lower expectations for stigmatized students with equally high achievement. Specifically, stigmatized students (on three factors) received expectations that were a half of a standard deviation lower than non-stigmatized students. Teacher ethnicity also appeared to influence teacher expectations via an interaction between teacher ethnicity and student stigmatization (on three factors). For English teachers, expectations were equally high for (a) ethnically stigmatized teachers rating stigmatized students, (b) stigmatized teachers rating non-stigmatized students, and (c) non-stigmatized teachers rating non-stigmatized students. The lowest expectations came from non-stigmatized teachers (White and Asian) rating stigmatized students. These findings (which control for student achievement) suggest bias in expectations that non-stigmatized teachers have for stigmatized students. School level variables in this study (e.g., percent of students receiving free/reduced lunch, percent of students who fail the competency test on first attempt), did not have a large effect on teacher expectations. Implications are discussed regarding multiply stigmatized students, self-fulfilling prophecy, equal access to educational opportunities, and recruitment of ethnic minority teachers. / text Teachers' expectations Student achievement Student stigmatized status Ethnicity Socio-economic status Native language Academic achievement English teachers Math teachers Teacher ethnicity

Utformningen av det offentliga rummet har en stor betydelse för befolkningens välmående och livskvalité och är därför viktig att utveckla och sätta i kontext. Målgruppen för studien är ungdomar och syftar till deras användande av det offentliga rummet och hur det kan utvecklas i ett socioekonomiskt utsatt område, i vår studie har vi inriktat oss på Rosengård i Malmö. Studiens metoder utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer med ungdomar som kommer ge oss en inblick i hur de upplever sitt offentliga rum och vad de har för åsikter kring det, och ostrukturerade observationer av området. Syftet med studien är att få en ökad kunskap för den offentliga miljöns inverkan på ungdomar utifrån olika aspekter som exempelvis trångboddhet, vegetation och mötesplatser i marginaliserade områden. Studiens avsikt är att utveckla kunskap och ökad förståelse för brister och styrkor i området. Möjligheterna i Rosengårds offentliga rum är begränsade för tillfället, men har potential till stora förändringar med hjälp av ungdomarnas engagemang. Urban design kan tillämpas på många sätt och därmed bidra till social hållbarhet samt minska på klyftorna som är mellan stadsdelen Rosengård och resterande stad / Public space is a broad concept that is rarely described in depth and can vary depending on the socio-economic situation in an area. The design of the public space is of great importance for the population's well-being and quality of life and is therefore important to develop and put into context in real space. The target group for the study is young people and aims at their use of public space and how it can be developed in a socio-economically vulnerable area, Rosengård in Malmö. The study's methodology consists of semi-structured interviews and unstructured observations of the area. The purpose of the study is to gain an increased understanding of the public environment's impact on humans based on various aspects in marginalized areas. The intention of the study is also to develop knowledge of shortcomings and strengths in the district. The opportunities in Rosengård's public spaces are limited at the moment, but have the potential for major changes with the help of the young people's commitment. Urban design can be applied in many ways and thus contribute to social sustainability and reduce the gaps that exist between Rosengård district and the rest of the city.

27	The New Voseo Culto: An Exploration of the Complexity of Familiar Address in Chilean Spanish Rouse, Patrick Roy 14 May 2010 (has links) In Chilean Spanish, second-person address is non-uniform in that the vos competes with the conventional tuteo and a third, mixed form has emerged. To add to this complexity, the form speakers choose has been shown to correspond to socioeconomic strata. Upper classes use tú, lower classes use vos, and young, middle class speakers choose the mixed form in which the verb is conjugated according to the voseo and is used with the pronoun tú. The causes and effects of this second-person schism in Chile are explored here, as well as the resulting sociolinguistic issues and consequences. In a study of printed media, television and interviewed informants, an attempt is made to confirm and validate the complexity of address in Chilean Spanish and determine the degree of the mixed voseo‟s pervasion into the mainstream.

28	From the "rising tide" to solidarity: disrupting dominant crisis discourses in dementia social policy in neoliberal times MacLeod, Suzanne 26 March 2014 (has links) As a social worker practising in long-term residential care for people living with dementia, I am alarmed by discourses in the media and health policy that construct persons living with dementia and their health care needs as a threatening “rising tide” or crisis. I am particularly concerned about the material effects such dominant discourses, and the values they uphold, might have on the collective provision of care and support for our elderly citizens in the present neoliberal economic and political context of health care. To better understand how dominant discourses about dementia work at this time when Canada’s population is aging and the number of persons living with dementia is anticipated to increase, I have rooted my thesis in poststructural methodology. My research method is a discourse analysis, which draws on Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical concepts, to examine two contemporary health policy documents related to dementia care – one national and one provincial. I also incorporate some poetic representation – or found poetry – to write up my findings. While deconstructing and disrupting taken for granted dominant crisis discourses on dementia in health policy, my research also makes space for alternative constructions to support discursive and health policy possibilities in solidarity with persons living with dementia so that they may thrive. / Graduate / 0452 / 0680 / 0351 / macsuz@shaw.ca social determinants of health social exclusion crisis discourse Alzheimer's Alzheimer Society of Canada Suzanne MacLeod Susan Strega Donna Jeffery poststructural poststructuralism admission to long-term care funding for long-term care acute care aging demographic BC Psychogeriatric Association biomedical British Columbia Canada Health Act collective social responsibility competition corporate profit corporatization deresponsibilization elder friendly elderly citizens family caregivers Foucault found poetry genealogy of power knowledge incompetent Ministry of Health moral economics pharmaceutical bed blocker stigmatized tsunami absent-person action plan aging population alternative discourse apocalyptic demography appropriate archaeology archaeology of knowledge archaeological British Columbia burden Canada caregiver charity charitable collective collective car community community care condition of possibility conditions of possibility corporate counter-discourse dementia dementia care dementia policy dementia social policy dependent depoliticize discourse discourse analysis disruptive discourse economic burden economics economy elder emergency epidemic exclusion fear-monger Foucauldian found poem genealogy genealogical health authority health care health care staff health care system health policy document healthy lifestyle home and community care homogenization homogenize hospital imaginaries imaginary incapable individual responsibility individualism knowledge long-term care material effect materiality of discourse media moral panic national strategy neoliberal neoliberalism neoliberal rationality not prepared object objectification other person-centered people living with dementia person living with dementia persons living with dementia person with dementia poem poetic representation poetry policy policies political politics power power knowledge power relations private privatize privatization productivity of dominant discourse public health care residential care resistance responsibility responsibilization rising tide safety net shift costs to caregivers responsibility social policy imaginary social well-being social work social worker solidarity specialized stakeholder state stigma subject matter expert taxpayer threat unprepared unproductive voluntary volunteer wait time wave social policy
