Den här uppsatsen analyserar och jämför skildringar av konsumtion i Karin Boyes Astarte (1931) och Denise Rudbergs storlek 37 (2002). Detta görs utifrån teoretiska utgångspunkter i Zygmunt Baumans tankar om konsumtionssamhället, samt texter av Max Weber, Walter Benjamin och Giorgio Agamben som diskuterar kapitalismens förhållande till religionen. I Astarte är religionen framträdande som tematik och metaforik i relation till konsumtionen, och det som skildras är ofta hur konsumtionen ersätter religionen, men också hur dessa liknar varandra. I storlek 37 är konsumtionen starkt kopplad till identiteten, och fungerar både som en trygghet och ett måste. Skillnaderna i romanernas skildringar återspeglar konsumtionens roller under två olika tidsperioder: i Astarte är konsumtionen ett relativt nytt fenomen i sin moderna bemärkelse, och i storlek 37 är den i högre grad central för tillvaron, och som sådan mer oreflekterad och självklar. I Astarte finns en tydlig kritik mot konsumtionen, som förs fram genom skildringar av den som ett ändlöst begär eller en illusion. I storlek 37 kan konsumtionen stundtals problematiseras, men framstår som oundviklig. / This essay analyzes and compares depictions of consumption in Karin Boye’s Astarte (1931) and Denise Rudberg’s storlek 37 (2002). The theoretical framework consists primarily of Zygmunt Bauman’s thoughts on the consumer society, as well as texts by Max Weber, Walter Benjamin and Giorgio Agamben discussing capitalism’s relationship to religion. In Astarte, religion is a prominent theme, and often used metaphorically in relation to consumption. Consumption is often depicted as replacing religion, in a way that emphasizes a resemblance between them. In storlek 37, consumption is strongly connected to identity, and functions both as a certainty and a must. The differences between the depictions in the two novels reflect the roles of consumption in two different eras: in Astarte, it is a relatively new phenomenon in its modern sense, and in storlek 37 it has become more central to human life, often occuring without reflection and perceived as a matter of course. Astarte sets out a visible critique of consumption, depicting it as an endless desire or an illusion. In storlek 37, consumption is sometimes questioned, but portrayed nevertheless as inevitable.

They look like the same, but they are different. The collection of narratives (short stories) presents in Life in three states: solid, liquid and gaseous is the result of a process that fictionalized ?liquid modernity?, the idea introduced by polish sociologist Zigmunt Bauman, with all its variants. The characters are shown desperate, abandoned to their own senses and disposable feelings, yearning for security and personal relations. Everything that is revealed is lie, but also could be true. Or would it be opposite? The reader is left to decide. All that involved before, during and after the intellectual-creative effort is in the essay Giving node in drop of water. / Esta disserta??o, inserida no ?mbito da Escrita Criativa, ? composta por duas partes, como dois espelhos frente a frente. Iguais, mas diferentes. O conjunto de narrativas (contos) presentes em A Vida em tr?s estados: s?lido, l?quido e gasoso, resulta na ficcionaliza??o da teoria da modernidade l?quida, termo cunhado pelo soci?logo polon?s Zigmunt Bauman, e todas as suas variantes. S?o personagens desesperados por terem sido abandonados aos seus pr?prios sentidos e sentimentos descart?veis, ansiando por seguran?a do conv?vio, desesperados por relacionar-se. O que os narradores revelam ? tudo mentira, mas podia ser verdade. Ou seria o contr?rio? O leitor que decida. O antes, durante e o depois do esfor?o intelectual ? criativo encontra-se no ensaio Dando n? em pingo d? ?gua.

This thesis is about border politics, in more than one sense. It looks at the recent period of anxiety about the control of Australian national borders (approximately, from the late 1990s until the 2007 Federal election), and attempts to understand how certain assumptions about women as potential reproductive bodies permeated biopolitical discourses in Australian national culture during this period. I employ the term ‘containment’ in order to make sense of this cultural moment. With reference to the work of theorists of modernity such as Michel Foucault and Zygmunt Bauman, I argue that containment is a key discourse in modern cultures—a way of thinking and speaking about confinement, control, management and order. It structures how we think about the management of populations and is a central part of the justification for the confinement of problem populations by modern political authorities. As such, then, it describes the ways in which the use of immigration detention for unlawful non-citizen asylum seekers has been thought about and accepted as reasonable in Australian national culture. / However, a discourse of containment has also been central to the thinking about gendered bodies in modernity, in particular to assumptions about the control of women’s bodies. The assumptions about the containment of women in the modern gender order are directly linked to ideas about political status, citizenship and sovereignty in modern nation-states. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s notion of ‘bare life’—the life that is excluded from the protections of citizenship and thus left unprotected from violence—I attempt to make sense of the connections between the immigration detention camp as a site where the modern state exerts control over the life of the nation, and that modern state’s attempts to control reproductive and reproducing bodies. The reducing of certain people to the status of bare life is, then, a gendered process. Women and men are stripped of political status in different ways because they are assumed to have, or potentially have, different kinds of political status. / I therefore consider how ideas about women as reproductive bodies were integral to the discourse and practices of containment which underpinned the use of immigration detention in Australia. These ideas were important at a number of levels. Firstly, ideas about women as reproductive bodies infused the thinking about national borders, border control and the management of national reproduction. Secondly, a racially inflected discourse about ‘women and children’ was of central importance in shaping the ways in which male and female asylum seekers in immigration detention were treated. In the techniques used to control and manage gendered asylum-seeking bodies, key modern assumptions about women as reproductive bodies, the family, sovereignty and violence are revealed. Furthermore, I argue that many popular culture texts which attempt to make sense of, or critique, Australian national border politics have reinforced the same gendered ideas about containment, the same naturalised assumptions about the reproduction of the nation, which underpinned exclusionist border politics and the use of immigration detention. Examining the intersection of gendered and national discourses of containment in national border politics reveals the gendered violence which infuses the modern social order.

Esta Tese estuda as identidades formadas a partir da experiência da diáspora, tomando por base o caso específico de gaúchos que migraram do estado do Rio Grande do Sul em direção a outros Estados brasileiros, em busca de melhores condições de vida e de trabalho. Sua questão central focaliza o papel da pedagogia do gauchismo como um substrato para a construção de uma identidade gaúcha diaspórica. Para desenvolver o estudo, empreendeu-se a análise de narrativas oriundas de entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com onze pessoas - migrantes gaúchos ou envolvidos diretamente no processo - nas cidades de Tangará da Serra e Campo Novo do Parecis, em Mato Grosso (cidades com forte presença da migração gaúcha), além de trechos de depoimentos apresentados no seriado “A Conquista do Oeste”, exibido pela RBSTV entre junho e agosto de 2004, o qual tematiza – com um acento fortemente heróico – a diáspora gaúcha por diversas regiões brasileiras. O aporte teórico da pesquisa situa-se no campo dos Estudos Culturais, relacionando-o com os estudos de narrativa e dos gêneros do discurso, tendo sido estruturado com base nas contribuições de autores como Stuart Hall, Leonor Arfuch, Néstor Garcia Canclini, Zygmunt Bauman, Dominique Maigueneau, Luiz Antônio Marcuschi, dentre outros. As análises desenvolvidas apontam para a força que o gauchismo – como conjunto de práticas discursivas e não-discursivas que se baseiam naquilo que seriam os costumes e hábitos do gaúcho, todos eles tomando como referência o gaúcho do pampa - e sua pedagogia possuem, no sentido de estarem presentes nas mais diversas esferas sociais das comunidades pesquisadas - sobretudo no ambiente escolar – constituindo elemento fundamental na construção da identidade de gaúchos em situação de diáspora. / The thesis studies the identities formed by the diaspora experience based on the specific case of the gauchos who have migrated from the state of Rio Grande do Sul in direction to the other Brazilian states in search for better life conditions and jobs. Its main issue focuses on the pedagogical role of the gauchismo as a substract for the construction of a diasporal gaucha identity. In order to develop this study, an analysis of the narratives gathered through semi-structured interviews with eleven people was done- gaucho migrants or directly involved in the process- in the cities of Tangará da Serra and Campo Novo do Parecis in Mato Grosso (cities with a large number of gaucho migration) and also some report excerpts presented on the RBSTV series “A Conquista do Oeste” from June to August 2004, having as theme – with a strong heroic accent- the gaucha diaspora to many Brazilian regions. The theoretical apport is found in the Cultural Studies field relating it to the narrative studies and the discursive gender and has been structured on the basis of some authors like Stuart Hall, Leonel Arfuch, Nestor Garcia Canclini, Zygmunt Bauman, Dominique Maigueneau, and Luiz Antônio Marcuschi among others. The developed analyses show the strength that the gauchismo-as a set of discursive and non-discursive practices which are based on what would be the gaucho’s costumes and habits, all of them having the gaucho from the Pampas as reference- and its pedagogy have in the sense of being present in the most diverse social spheres of the researched communities- especially in the school environment- being a fundamental element in the construction of the gauchos’ identity in a diasporal situation.

Grande Sertão: veredas ocupa um lugar no cânone literário brasileiro que apenas outros dois ou três romances, se muito, podem ocupar. Devido a isso, uma “enxurrada” de comentários e de leituras foram produzidos sobre a obra, nem sempre partindo dela para compreender seus possíveis sentidos. Este trabalho de pesquisa analisa a obra em seus diversos aspectos (da temática aos personagens, passando por tempo, espaço e narrador) para tentar entender sua dinâmica quase sempre ambígua e volátil. Para tanto, utilizo, aqui, o conceito de liquidez, cunhado por Bauman (2001), oferecendo uma leitura da obra a partir do olhar moderno. Esse comentário se alinha a outros que apontaram a reversibilidade e a mistura de GSV, mas contrasta com alguns, que tentaram fazer uma leitura cristalizada da obra, que não dá conta de todas as suas particularidades. / Grande Sertão: veredas occupies a place in the Brazilian Literary canon in which only other two or three novels could possibly occupy. Owing to this, a flood of comments and interpretations was produced concerning the book, however it has not always begun from the book itself to comprehend its possible meanings. This research study analyzes it in its diverse aspects (from character theme, going through time, space and narrator) in order to understand its dynamics, which is usually ambiguous and volatile. For this purpose, I use the concept of liquidity, created by Bauman (2001), which offers a reading from a modern point of view. This comment is aligned with other thoughts that remarked the reversibility and mixture of GSV, although it contrasts with some perspectives, which attempted to do a crystallized reading of the novel, and could not handle all the particularities.

The diploma thesis called ?Globalization ? sociological reflection. Conception of globalization by Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman and Ulrich Beck? reflects the question, how sociological thinking deals with the phenomenon of globalization. In the introduction part of the Thesis is a basic outline of sociological perspective on globalization issues and this historical roots. The main part is devoted to comparing the concept of globalization of the three major sociological theorists, Anthony Giddens, Zygmunt Bauman and Ulrich Beck, which includes a detailed analysis of the works related to the theme of globalization. The relevant sections of the Thesis pays attention to the key topics that are discussed in the context of globalization in the field of contemporary social theory (globalization, localization and glocalization, denacionalization, the convergence of global culture, etc.). This Thesis is based on the key works of these authors, their reaction in the scientific community and my own critical analysis.
