Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: House, home, to be at-home-in-the-world and the need for a mobile home that accompanies us through our everyday life, are concepts upon which this thesis is built. I am of opinion that the constant mobility of globalization and each individual’s journey of finding a place to belong to, dictates a complementary conceptualization of a home. My study focuses on the possibilities that books present, physically and psychologically, as a possible complementary term to a house and a home. The theoretical structure of this thesis is based on Doreen Massey and Martin Heidegger’s view on modes of habitation. They outline a framework in which this phenomenological text of an everyday phenomenon, namely: to-be-at-home-in-the-world, is discussed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Huis, tuiste, tuis-wees-in-die-wêreld en die behoefte na ’n mobiele tuiste wat saam swerf deur ons alledaagse leefwêreld, is onderwerpe waarmee hierdie tesis bemoei is. Ek is van mening dat hedendaagse mobiliteit gevind in globalisasie en soektog na ’n eie plek, vra na 'n komplementêre konseptualisering van tuiste. My studie fokus op boeke en hul fisiese en psigiese eienskappe om as moontlike komplementêre tuiste tot huis en tuiste aangewend te word. Doreen Massey en Martin Heidegger se teorieë rondom wyses van bewoning op aarde dien as spilpunt wat deur aanvullende teoretici gekoppel word aan 'n fenomenologiese teks wat die alledaagse ervaring van tuis-wees-in-die-wêreld op die voorgrond plaas.

Eldridge, Connie. "Developing Social Interest in Juvenile Delinquents." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1989. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc331687/.
Full textAbstract:
Male youths ages 13-18 incarcerated at two minimum security detention facilities participated in a program to determine if Alfred Adler's concept of social interest could be developed through group interactions led by non-professionals.
The youths answered a self-report attitudinal scale, the Sulliman Scale of Social Interest and were rated by their classroom teachers on the Behavior Dimensions Rating Scale as pre-test measures. Volunteers from a liberal arts college sociology classes were randomly assigned to work in male-female pairs over a ten week period of time with the experimental population. These pairs led their constant group of incarcerated youths in ninety minute discussion sessions once per week for the duration of the program. Structured human relations exercises specifically designed to encourage elements of social interest; belonging, cooperation, and significance were assigned for each of the sessions. At the end of ten weeks, the youths in the experimental groups and the control population were tested again on the two scales.
The results of Pearson Product Moment Correlations Test indicated no relationship between attitude and behavior for either the experimental or control groups on the pre-test and the post-test.
A Mann Whitney U t-test indicated a highly significant increase in the social interest of the experimental group at the end of the program. While the control group showed no change over the course of the ten weeks, those who participated in the developmental groups increased their scores on the Sulliman Scale of Social Interest by an average of 12 points. Another Mann Whitney U t-test indicated that there was no difference between the social interest of Caucasian and non-Caucasian youths.

Shelton, Andrew Jonathan. "Meaning in Life and Psychological Wellness among Latino Immigrants: Role of Attachment, Belongingness, and Hope." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2018. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1248442/.
Full textAbstract:
Guided by attachment theory and principles of positive psychology, a conceptual model was developed depicting the direct and indirect effects of attachment insecurity, state hope, belongingness, and meaning in life on wellness indicators (i.e., life satisfaction, physical health, and depression) of first generation Latino immigrants in the U.S. Specifically, the present study proposed that the effects of attachment insecurity on Latino immigrants' wellness would be mediated by two tiers of factors. The first tier consisted of state hope (i.e., general state hope, spiritual state hope, mastery state hope) and sense of belonging (i.e., general belongingness; connectedness with mainstream/ethnic community), which represented individual-level and relational factors, respectively, salient in Latino culture. Greater attachment insecurity was hypothesized to contribute to a compromised MIL and poorer wellness by decreasing state hope and sense of belongingness. A total of 352 first-generation Latino immigrants from Texas participated in this study. The exploratory factor analysis on the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale revealed a two-factor factor structure that is different from the two factors of adult attachment typically found with American samples (i.e., anxiety and avoidance). The emerged two factors represent anxious-distancing attachment and comfort-seeking attachment. Results from structural equation modeling analysis showed adequate model fit with the data. The final model indicated that the effects of comfort-seeking attachment on wellness were fully mediated by two layers of mediators (belongingness and state hope as the first layer and meaning in life as the second layer). In addition, the effect of anxious-distancing attachment on wellness was fully mediated by belongingness and meaning in life but not through state hope. Bootstrap methods were used to assess the significance magnitude of these indirect effects. Comfort-seeking attachment explained 13% of the variance in state hope and both attachment variables explained 36% of the variance in sense of belongingness. Anxious-distancing attachment, comfort-seeking attachment, state hope, and sense of belongingness explained 78% of the variance in meaning in life, and the overall model explained 75% of the variance in wellness. Limitations, future directions, and implications for counseling and theory are discussed from attachment theory, positive psychology, and immigration perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Student sense of belonging in universities is tied to increased retention rates and satisfaction with university experience. However, international students may be experiencing low levels of belonging, especially with American students. From a survey that asked students about their sense of belonging to the university, with American students, and with other international students, it was found that ethnic background had an impact on the level of belonging and connection. Through interviews with four Chinese females and two Caucasian males, further information was gathered about their experiences that contributed to or inhibited their sense of belonging. Themes such as discrimination, levels of English fluency, and participation in groups on campus emerged as some factors for why some students felt a high sense of belonging when others felt a low sense of belonging. Suggestions for how to improve university services to increase sense of belonging were addressed at the end of the study.

McKetty, Carol Christine. "Marking the boundaries : a study of German national belonging." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2012. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=201706.
Full textAbstract:
The need to belong to communities is a basic human need and the notion of belonging is central to how we define who we are. But belonging to a national community is not always clear-cut. The paradox of belonging to the German community was made evident in 2005 when a census category—‘persons with a migration background’—was introduced. The new category served to cast some people to the community’s periphery. Instead of ‘Germans’ and ‘foreigners’, the census now records ‘Germans’ and ‘persons with a migration background’. Included in the latter category are German citizens. Germans with a(n obvious) connection to elsewhere who were once counted as ‘German’ are now placed in the newly established census category and counted together with foreigners. This ethnographic study examined how ordinary Germans conceive of Germanness and who they imagine their German community to include. The study asked: What makes a person German? Analysis was couched in historical and contemporary contexts that inform the data. To avoid being mired a priori in the notion of a German Volk, people of various backgrounds having membership in the German nation-state were asked who they take to be ‘German’ and where they draw their lines around the imagined German community. The research data suggests that a penchant for prestige which has long characterized German nationalism continues to influence who is seen as German. Moreover, the boundaries around the characteristics deemed prestigious are guarded by people who feel themselves, subjectively, to be members of the community since they benefit as individuals from the perceived high status of the nation of which they are a member.

Full textAbstract:
"No (person) is an island" (Donne J, 1975, p. 87). The importance of social support in the lives of human beings is evident and for immigrant adolescents the role of social networks is important to facilitate their adjustment within the majority culture and to navigate their identity within spaces of belonging.This study aims to describe how Filipino immigrant adolescents in Cote-des-Neiges, a district in Montreal, organize social support and how this relates to their mental health. This research is a mixed design with a sequential strategy. Firstly, data about social support from an epidemiological survey of Filipino youth are analyzed. Secondly, ethnographic research elaborates the findings from the quantitative part.
The results suggest that social networks play a dual role of both support and conflict for the adolescents and that there is a complex interplay between migratory trajectory and the strategies for organizing social support and negotiating spaces of belonging.

Peterson, Curtis N. "How Social Identity Influences Social and Emotional Loneliness." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5772.
Full textAbstract:
Social identity theory (SIT) is a robust theory that explains in-group versus out-group behaviors. Two qualities of one's social identity include emotional connection and social connection with others, which someone who is experiencing loneliness tends to lack in their current situation. This dissertation explored whether when one's social identity becomes salient it results in a lower evaluation of one's current state of loneliness. An experiment was conducted in which college student participants, who were 18 years of age or older and currently enrolled in college courses, were randomly assigned to a social identity saliency group (college student) or 1 of 3 control conditions (personal identity group, cognitive control condition, and no prime condition). The sample consisted of 207 participants of which 189 were analyzed for social loneliness and 190 were analyzed for emotional loneliness, after excluding participants who did not meet scoring criteria. To analyze the data a planned contrast procedure was conducted in which the social identity group's mean was compared to the combined means of the 3 control conditions. Results indicated that when social identity is made salient, participants report a lower level of emotional and social loneliness when compared to the other 3 conditions. Loneliness, which is being considered a major public health crisis, is becoming more common in modern society, making finding mechanisms to reduce loneliness important. This research supports the notion that social identification can reduce one's evaluation of loneliness. As an example, from the findings in this research, to reduce loneliness among college students, college programs should focus on the positive attributions of being a college student.

Quinn, Sara. "The interactive effects of chronic attachment anxiety and acute rejection on belonging regulation and relationship initiation behaviours." Thesis, McGill University, 2013. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=114544.
Full textAbstract:
Because individuals possess a fundamental need to belong (Baumeister & Leary, 1995), being rejected is an extremely aversive experience. Rejected individuals are motivated to alleviate their social pain and fulfill threatened belonging needs by seeking sources of affiliation. However, rejected individuals are also motivated to avoid further rejection, and may withdraw from social situations. Regulating threatened belonging needs creates an internal approach-avoidance conflict within individuals where they simultaneously desire to approach sources of affiliation, while avoiding painful rejection. A review of the belonging literature supports both motivational outcomes, showing how individuals can react pro-socially or with withdrawal, and sometimes even aggression, when belonging needs are threatened. I propose that individual differences, particularly in regards to adult attachment style, play an important role in determining how individuals resolve the approach-avoidance conflict inherent in belonging regulation. Chronic attachment insecurity may impede the belonging regulation process, as the approach-avoidance conflict may be especially amplified in the anxiously attached and suppressed in avoidantly attached individuals. Because initiating a romantic relationship can be a highly effective way to satiate belonging needs, but comes at a high risk for rejection, I examined how differences in attachment style influence how individuals cope with threatened belonging needs in the context of romantic relationship initiation. In one study, participants experienced either rejection or inclusion in a ball-tossing game, or were assigned to a control condition. They then viewed photographs of potential dating partners, and rated how interested they would be in dating each individual. Results showed that attachment anxiety was positively associated with the motivation to affiliate with the potential dating partners when individuals were not rejected in the ball-tossing game. But when highly anxious individuals were rejected, they expressed significantly less desire to affiliate with the dating targets. In contrast, low anxious individuals worked to fulfill threatened belonging needs by rating the dating targets as significantly more dateable following rejection. The effects of being included in the ball-tossing game did not significantly differ from the control condition, suggesting that it is rejection that is responsible for the changes in the anxiously attached's affiliative motivation. Attachment avoidance was unrelated to how individuals regulated belongingness in the context of relationship initiation. Exploratory analyses revealed that self-esteem was highly correlated with attachment anxiety, but the effects of attachment anxiety remained even when controlling for self-esteem, suggesting that anxious attachment has a distinct influence on belonging regulation. The results of the study demonstrate that attachment style plays an important role in influencing how individuals regulate belonging needs following rejection, and the literature would benefit from taking a closer look at how chronic attachment style interacts with acute threats to belonging to predict belonging regulatory behaviours.Le rejet social étant une expérience extrêmement aversive puisque l'être humain possèdent un besoin fondamental d'appartenance (Baumeister & Leary, 1995), certains individus venant d'être rejetés sont motivés à soulager leur douleur sociale et combler leurs besoins d'appartenance en trouvant de nouvelles sources d'affiliation. D'autres peuvent être motivés à éviter un second rejet, décidant ainsi de se retirer des situations sociales. Lorsque les besoins d'appartenance d'un individu sont menacés, la régulation de ces derniers crée un conflit interne d'approche-évitement. Ainsi, à la suite d'un rejet, une personne peut à la fois désirer approcher des sources d'affiliation, et éviter un rejet douloureux. Une revue de la littérature montre d'une part que les individus peuvent réagir de façon prosociale ou agressive, et d'autre part qu'ils peuvent simplement se retirer des situations sociales. Je propose que des différences individuelles, telles que le style d'attachement adulte, jouent un rôle important dans la façon dont les individus ressoudent le conflit approche-évitement inhérent à la régulation des besoins d'appartenance. Un attachement insécure chronique pourrait entraver ce processus de régulation, étant donné que le conflit approche-évitement pourrait être particulièrement amplifié pour les individus avec un attachement anxieux et supprimé pour les individus avec un attachement évitant. Par conséquent, j'ai décidé d'examiner la manière dont les différents styles d'attachement adulte influencent la réaction des individus dont les besoins d'appartenance sont menacés en contexte de rencontre amoureuse puisqu'initier une relation amoureuse peut être un moyen très efficace pour assouvir ses besoins d'appartenance, mais présente également un risque élevé de rejet. Dans la présente étude, les participants étaient assignés à la condition de rejet ou d'inclusion par l'entremise d'un jeu de balle, ou au groupe contrôle. Ils devaient ensuite évaluer leur intérêt à rencontrer des partenaires potentiels en regardant des photographies de profile. Les résultats montrent que l'attachement anxieux est positivement associé à la motivation de s'affilier à des partenaires potentiels lorsque les individus n'ont pas été rejetés dans le jeu de balle. Toutefois, si ces personnes ont été rejetées durant le jeu de balle, ils expriment un désir nettement moins élevé de s'affilier à des partenaires potentiels. En revanche, suite à un rejet social, les individus peu anxieux tentent de combler leurs besoins d'appartenance menacés en indiquant qu'ils sont beaucoup plus intéressés à rencontrer un partenaire potentiel. De plus, la condition d'inclusion ne diffère pas significativement de la condition contrôle, suggérant que le rejet est à l'origine du changement de comportement d'affiliation des personnes anxieuses. L'attachement évitant n'est pas lié à la façon dont les individus régulent leurs besoins d'appartenance dans un contexte de rencontre de partenaires amoureux potentiels. Bien que des analyses exploratoires montrent que l'estime de soi est fortement corrélée à un attachement anxieux, les effets de l'attachement anxieux demeurent significatifs dans cette étude, même après avoir contrôlé pour l'estime de soi, ce qui suggère que l'attachement anxieux a une influence distincte sur la façon de réguler un besoin d'appartenance menacé. Les résultats de la présente étude démontrent que le style d'attachement joue un rôle important en influençant la façon dont les individus régulent leurs besoins d'appartenance à la suite d'un rejet, et les chercheurs gagneraient à examiner de plus près la façon dont le style d'attachement chronique interagit avec des menaces aigües d'appartenance afin de prédire comment les individus régulent leurs besoins d'appartenance.

Sanders, Gwen J. "Art Response to Confusion, Uncertainty, and Curiosity During Group Art Therapy Supervision." Thesis, Notre Dame de Namur University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10246527.
Full textAbstract:
This research project used a causal comparative design to examine differences between intact groups of graduate art therapy students using art as a response to emotions and sharing the art during group supervision. There is scant research on group art therapy supervision thus in this study the variables of curiosity and psychological mindedness were analyzed. Utilizing art making as a tool to understand emotions in response to working with clients therapeutically provides both an implicit, internal focus on the self in relation to others that is then evaluated in an explicit, external context of group supervision, where these emotions are shared. Forty participants completed response art as well as pre- and post-test inventories of the Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II, subscales of stretching and embracing, and the Balanced Inventory of Psychological Mindedness, subscales of interest and insight. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon rank sum test and Spearmen’s rho correlations. While findings were limited due to the small sample size, nonparametric measures, and confounding variables, findings confirmed that stretching and interest showed significant increases. Students later in their practicum showed an increase in embracing while group size of four or less had greater increases in insight. Insight increased early in the research study and decreased significantly at the end of this present study, suggesting that as students learn they develop a more humble stance of not knowing. Future research would benefit from a qualitative inquiry to identify and understand aspects of creating art in response to clients and sharing it in supervision.

Macdonald, Sarah. "Negotiating identities and interrogating inequalities of class and ethnicity in addressing an equality agenda : a rights based thesis of belonging." Thesis, Swansea University, 2012. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42809.
Full textAbstract:
One of the most significant challenges the globalized world encounters is how to build a society that is more at peace with diversity and cosmopolitanism. Further, in a world where highly unequal power relations and a vast plethora of inequalities persist, interrogating and resisting inequalities is key. From this context, this study focuses on interrogating inequalities in addressing an equality agenda highlighting a thesis of belonging; the human need for belonging and security in that belonging and the human right to have these needs satisfied (UDHR, 1948). A thesis of belonging relates to an innate human need for belonging (Maslow, 1943) and it is argued in this thesis that this innate human need for belonging is very important and very much connected to many fundamental human rights which should be driven much more through equality focused social movements and the laws. Clearly, where human rights are not being upheld then action must be taken to uphold them. The research findings of this thesis show the relevance of a thesis of belonging and the relevance of two core theories which have a connection, a marxist theory of racism and a social identity theory of racism. A marxist understanding of racism clearly delineates the inequalities capitalism produces and in this thesis while it is not argued that a marxist understanding of racism alone completely explains all varieties of racism, through a significant number of participants' discourses this thesis shows how capitalism often appears to be a driving force behind discrimination made on the basis of ethnicity. In addition, a significant number of participants' discourses in this thesis also point towards a social identity theory of racism which indicates the significance of what a social group affords an individual where a sense of belonging derived from affiliation and acceptance in group membership provides a feeling of self esteem and security (Tajfel and Turner, 1979; Breakwell, 1986; West, 1993, Aboud, 2008). Importantly, Tajfel (1981) emphasises how crucial it is to interrogate the social and economic context of discrimination and so here is where social identity theory relates to a marxist theory of racism.

Full textAbstract:
The present research sought to expand upon previous research demonstrating that individuals shift their attitudes to match the attitudes of their romantic partner. This research examined whether attitude alignment is influenced, in part, by belonging threats. Participants reported their attitudes about social issues and were randomly assigned to receive a belonging threat (or acceptance) in the form of feedback about their future relationships prior to discussing issues about which they disagreed with their partner. Partners discussed issues that were central to self - peripheral to partner and peripheral to self - central to partner. Attitude alignment was measured following discussion and at a one-week follow-up. Attitude alignment was expected to vary as a function of belonging threat, centrality of issue, and strength of unit relationship. Results did not support hypotheses, but did reveal noteworthy points to be considered for future work in this area.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how identity construction is expressed in contemporary Norwegian literature written by the offspring of migrants, and thus contribute to the existing body of research on identity construction in academic literature. This is done by exploring which processes are important in the process of identity construction and through the application of a theoretical framework. The framework both makes use of the concepts of ‘othering’, identity, ethnicity, and ‘culture’, as well as it raises a discussion of how intersectionality theory functions as a broader analytical frame in this study.The analysis examines how identity construction is seen in two anthology books, making use of textual analysis supported by the theoretical framework. What the analysis shows is that ‘othering’, the grouping of ‘us’ and ‘them’, as well as ethnicity play a large role in howidentities are constructed. The empirical material provides us with a representation of theseidentity constructions, and leads to a debate on whether the processes of ‘othering’ and social categorisation work in one way only, or if it is a more complex process – as well as what this ‘othering’ might lead to concerning the question of finding belonging or community in being ‘other’.

Grieve, Dawn. "The shifting frontiers of belonging in the fiction of J. M. Coetzee." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2004. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/821.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an examination of the fictional works of J.M. Coetzee to date. There are two aspects to my argument. First I posit that Coetzee adumbrates the prevailing crisis of belonging in the world and the universal yearning for a sense of connectedness. Secondly, I maintain that Coetzee prompts a review of the demarcation lines that divide and alienate in two ways. He installs boundaries that are shifting and. unstable. He also represents numerous frontier transgressions that expose the permeability of these finite conceptual constructions and reveals their potential for revision. It is my contention that Coetzee exploits the discrepancy between an ideal of stasis and the dynamic nature of reality in order to demonstrate the possibilities inherent in change. The opportunities for reimagining frontiers and expanding a sense of belonging are evident in the aporias that show up in both the fixed notion of frontier and the mutating individual experiences of belonging. This study not only examines a broad range of general cultural theory and more specific critical commentary on Coetzee’s fiction but also provides an integrated response to Coetzec's own writing, both fictional and non-fictional. Coetzee's project can be seen as both metaphysical and metafictional. I concur with most recent critical assessment- that his fiction transgresses critical containment and offers extension to a range of debates, from theories on the ethics of reading to postcolonial discourse. The physical realities that Coetzee traces lie across the bounds of national thinking. He •uses textual representations of the body •as ontological sites that exceed existing epistemological frameworks. It is my thesis that his oeuvre challenges the very conditions upon which Western discursive structures are founded. These transgressive modalities that lie outside familiar socio-political models call for a creative response from the reader. I have identified the traditional African philosophical concept of ubuntu as a useful tool with which to articulate Coetzee 's feint gesture towards a future site of shared belonging. This study argues that the responsibility of the reader is central to this process. Coetzee uses the performative function of fiction to adumbrate his metafictional objective, which is to inspire his readers to ethical action. The overarching claim of this thesis is that Coetzee’s ethical call is to make a difference in the real world. Coetzee’s novelistic methods urge the reader to extend a sense of responsibility beyond hermeneutic engagement with the texts into their own life. Coetzee’s enterprise is , consequently, of great significance in the ongoing debate about the value of literature, the relevance of theory and the need for continuing scrutiny of the agendas of all participants. Similarly, his writing contributes to the vibrant cross-cultural dialogue within South Africa across the wider African continent and globally, and this continues to open up fresh opportunities for belonging.

Carlisle, Timothy. "The walrus in the walls and other strange tales : a comparative study of house-rites in the Viking-age North Atlantic Region." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2017. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=233115.
Full textAbstract:
Building offerings, artefacts or bones that had been placed under or within house features, are considered evidence of rites associated with house construction, remodelling or abandonment, and are an archaeological phenomenon that was common throughout European prehistory. This dissertation focuses on interpreting building offerings dating to the Viking Age in Iceland and Scotland. Each find of this type is unique, which poses a challenge for archaeological investigations that often lack the interpretive framework needed to make comparisons between sites. This dissertation critically refines the frameworks of previous studies of similar types of deposits in AngloSaxon Britain and Scandinavia in order to fill this gap in research and discuss the purpose of houserites. The frameworks of behavioural and cognitive archaeology indicate that the performance of house-rites played a role in the construction of the house as the centre of the world-view of Vikingage people. House-rites are situated as prescriptive behaviours that negotiated perspectives of space throughout the residential life-cycle by adding to house materiality. This refined interpretive paradigm is then applied to a comparative survey of Viking-age houses and farmsteads from Iceland and Scotland. In the North Atlantic region, house-rites appear to have been performed in order for Norse people to reimagine their place in the world. The practical elements of the tradition were altered based on the relevant cultural frameworks and specific geo-political contexts to which Norse people were migrating in the Viking Age. In Iceland, people utilised displays of generosity and skills as providers during house-rites to construct an association between social relationships and residential space. The house itself had agency in situating people both within the landscape and the community. In Norse settlements in Scotland, Scandinavian people were relating themselves directly to the symbols used by native peoples through the use of personal objects in the performance of houserites, integrating their new environment into their mentalities. In Scandinavia, house-rites were a long-standing tradition, leading to a well-established, carefully negotiated sense of identity within the landscape. The Norse people who migrated into the North Atlantic region during the Viking Age were leaving this well-established sense of place. This intensified the climate of uncertainty regarding their place in the world, leading to the negotiation of mentalities through the discursive dynamics of house-rites in altered contexts.

The following is a collection of six short stories written between 2014 and 2016. While the short stories are not connected, they tend to grapple with issues of grief and belonging. Characters who struggle to name their feelings, to inhabit them, and yet feel them nonetheless, populate these pages.
There is also a theme of fantastical bodies in some of the stories--women who levitate and little boys who suffer heart problems when they feel too much joy. The interplay between emotion and physical ailment is exaggerated and dramatized in these instances.

This thesis represents four years of personal and professional development. Undertaking this research has enriched my understanding of the multifaceted social lives of Australian adolescents, and how their interactions within peer groups and dyads may influence their social and emotional well-being. The topic for this thesis emerged from an innate curiosity about the ways in which the fundamental human desire to belong may manifest for adolescents as different dynamics in their relations with peers. This curiosity, first recognised whilst completing my Honours research project for the Bachelor of Psychological Science, stemmed from a desire to inform both basic and applied research in the field. That is, whilst learning from adolescents who successfully fulfil the desire to belong I was able to simultaneously identify the maladaptive consequences for those in whom this goal is thwarted. Following successful completion of my Honours year, I committed to contribute further to research in this field and was fortunate to have this opportunity whilst undertaking the candidature for my PhD. Throughout this thesis, belongingness is an overarching theme, providing a lens through which to further understand how varying social and behavioural patterns may influence adolescent well-being. With its integration of traditional ideologies and modern research methods, this thesis and its associated publications, have contributed to research in the field of adolescent peer relations. I hope that through this research, adolescent well- being may be further empirically illuminated, via the examination of both social and emotional contributors, in order to provide further insight into its complexities at this distinctive developmental time.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Under de senaste 20 åren har det blivit vanligare att organisera verksamheter i team. Upplevelsen av att arbeta team skiljer sig mellan individer, team och verksamheter. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på hur vårdpersonal upplever teamarbete. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka personalens upplevelse av teamarbete och hur det påverkar arbetsklimatet i kommunal verksamhet. 12 kommunanställda intervjuades om deras upplevelse av teamarbete. Den insamlade datan analyserades, av en fenomenologiinspirerad, forskningsanalys som kallas för EPP-metoden. Upplevelsen av teamarbete beskrivs utifrån de tre abstrakta teman (1) Socialt klimat, (2) Arbetsprocess samt (3) Arbetsstruktur. Studiens resultat visade att majoriteten av personalen upplevde teamarbete inom den kommunala verksamheten som positiv samt att deras upplevelse av hur teamarbete påverkar arbetsklimatet var bra. Resultatet stämmer väl överens med tidigare forskning gällande teamarbetets positiva aspekter och även hur det påverkar arbetsklimatet.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the implications of borders and boundaries for how forcibly displaced young Georgians from Abkhazia understand issues of belonging and return. My theoretical framework draws from theories on home and belonging as well as theories on border and boundary making, and locates them in geographies of uncertainty – or riskscapes – areas characterized by conflict and/or inequality. Empirical data was collected through two sets of interviews in Zugdidi near the border to Abkhazia and a questionnaire survey in Zugdidi and the capital Tbilisi. These data have been analysed through both qualitative and quantitative methods. The young respondents providing material for this research do not constitute a homogenous group. Some of the respondents have family still living in Abkhazia or even partly grew up in the area; others have never been there. The primary goal of the Georgian government has been that the displaced population should return to their homes, and the government’s efforts for local integration has long been insufficient. Since no peace accords have been signed, a lack of security prevents a large-scale return. Notwithstanding increased border controls that have made it difficult to visit former homes, some young people still cross the de facto border. By doing this they contest both the Abkhazian de facto authorities and the border as a symbol of separation and differentiation, while claiming a right to belong in Abkhazia. Property and social relations in Abkhazia contribute to stronger connections and an imperative to return. On the other hand, experience of hardship in contemporary Abkhazia has resulted in some young people not considering return as a viable option. Youth who never visited Abkhazia depend mainly on other peoples’ memories and political discourse to create emotional bonds to the area their parents fled and to form their ideas of return. Results from the quantitative survey indicate that youth living in Tbilisi, closer to the political centre, to a higher extent intend to return than their peers in Zugdidi. Meanwhile young people’s experiences of everyday life in current dwellings in relative stability create emotional bonds to their present place of living. These experiences challenge both collective processes and experiences from Abkhazia when it comes to maintaining the desire to return. This research offers insights into the human consequences of war and conflict. More specifically, this dissertation sheds light on how young internally displaced persons (IDPs) are living in a borderland (in both temporal and spatial terms) characterized by uncertainty-- between the past and the future as well as between Georgia and Abkhazia. Practices of exclusion and segregation are constitutive of the borders and boundaries that permeate life experiences of the forcibly displaced youth. Furthermore, these borders and boundaries are situated in riskscapes of disputed belongings, which makes this borderland more or less stable for different groups of IDPs. This dissertation contributes to an increased understanding of how political aspirations and personal desire to return preserves instability and uncertainty as long as return is not possible.Denna avhandling undersöker konsekvenserna av gränser och gränsskapande för hur unga georgiska internflyktingar från Abkhazien förstår frågor om tillhörighet och återvändande. Jag utgår från teorier om hem och tillhörighet, liksom teorier om gränser och gränsskapande, och lokaliserar dem till geografier av osäkerhet – “riskscapes” – områden som karaktäriseras av konflikter och/eller ojämlikheter. Det datamaterial som ligger till grund för avhandlingen utgörs av två intervjustudier i Zugdidi nära gränsen till Abkhazien; och en enkätstudie som genomfördes i Zugdidi och i den georgiska huvudstaden Tbilisi. Materialet har analyserats genom användande av både kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder. Avhandlingens respondenter utgör inte en homogen grupp. Några respondenter har familj och släktingar som bor i Abkhazien eller har delvis växt upp i området, medan andra aldrig ens varit där. Det primära målet för den georgiska regeringen har varit att internflyktingarna ska återvända till sina hem, och regeringens ansträngningar för integration i lokalsamhället har länge varit otillräckliga. Det saknas fredsavtal och bristen på säkerhet förhindrar återvändande i stor skala. Trots de ökade gränskontroller som gjort det svårt att korsa de facto gränslinjen tar sig en del ungdomar ändå over gränsen. Genom att göra detta bestrider de både de abkhaziska de facto myndigheterna och gränsen som symbol för separation och åtskillnad, medan de hävdar sin rätt att känna tillhörighet till Abkhazien. Att ha ett hus och sociala relationer i Abkhazien bidrar till emotionella band och en starkare uppmaning till att återvända. Å andra sidan kan erfarenheterna av vardagens umbäranden inne i Abkhazien resultera i att unga människor inte ser återvändande som ett tänkbart alternativ. Ungdomar som aldrig varit i Abkhazien är beroende av andra människors minnen och politiska diskurser för att skapa känslomässiga band och tankar om återvändande till det område deras föräldrar har flytt från. Resultat från den kvantitativa undersökningen visar vidare att ungdomar som bor i Tbilisi, närmare Georgiens politiska centrum, i högre grad anger att de har för avsikt att återvända än deras jämnåriga i Tbilisi. Ungdomars erfarenheter av vardagslivet i sina nuvarande bostäder i relativ stabilitet bidrar emellertid till att skapa känslomässiga band till den aktuella bostadsorten. Dessa erfarenheter utmanar på så vis både de kollektiva processerna och erfarenheter från Abkhazien när det gäller att upprätthålla drömmen om återvändande. Avhandlingen bidrar med insikter om konsekvenser av krig och konflikter för människors vardagsliv. Mer specifikt belyser jag hur avhandlingens unga respondenter lever i en sorts rumsligt och temporalt gränsland mellan det förflutna och framtiden och mellan Georgien och Abkhazien, och detta gränsland kännetecknas av osäkerhet. Praktiker av isärhållande och segregering är konstituerande för de gränser som genomsyrar internflyktingungdomarnas erfarenheter. Dessa gränser är dessutom situerade i ”riskscapes” av ifrågasatta tillhörigheter, som gör gränslandet mer eller mindre stabilt för olika grupper av internflyktingar. Avhandlingen bidrar med en ökad förståelse för hur politiska ambitioner och personliga drömmar om återvändande håller kvar människor i instabilitet och osäkerhet så länge återvändandet inte är möjligt.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, the American public has become increasingly fascinated by criminal profiling. Despite the popularity of criminal profiling, however, evidence of its accuracy and utility in serving the various phases of the criminal justice process has not been scientifically demonstrated. Historically portrayed as an art, profiling has increasingly been represented as a science by profiling practitioners, even in the absence of a body of scientific literature to support such a representation. The purpose of this book is twofold: First, the state of criminal profiling today will be critically examined. This examination will include a discussion of the scientific and practical limits of existing approaches and the scientific and practice implications of these limitations for the field of profiling. Next, given the limits of the extant profiling models, this book will discuss the steps necessary for building a science of profiling. It is hoped that collectively these chapters will enable profiling to emerge as a credible and respected field that ultimately will significantly advance law enforcement investigations.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: While every Botswana national can claim to be a citizen legally within the framework of the modern nation-state, some (minority groups in the main) are perceived by others (among the majority Tswana groups especially), as less authentic nationals or citizens. There is a hierarchy of citizenship fostered by political, economic, social and cultural inequalities, such that it makes some individuals and groups much more able to claim and articulate their rights than others. Ethnic identities seem stronger than ‘national identities’ as they work at the very macro level and on an immediate and daily basis. Thus the multicultural and linguistic diversity of Taung compels us to view every group as heterogeneously unique and important in its own ways, since students become marginalised as a result of individual circumstances, by being members of historically oppressed social groups. The main aim of this study was to explore visual art as a learning platform to negotiate social and cultural meanings and inform understandings of self. A qualitative approach towards the study was considered the most suitable way for conducting the research. An interpretive analysis was used to gain insight into how students made sense of their experiences and the significance of art as a platform to negotiate stigmas and stereotypes in class and school. Using the case study drawn from Taung Junior Secondary School comprising of twelve students from different ethnic groups, two major themes of difference and discrimination were identified. The sub-theme discussed under difference includes sub themes race, ethnicity and nationality, and language; while stereotyping and stigma, feelings of discomfort and feeling outcast, and Othering and marginalisation were discussed under the theme discrimination. My study revealed that art can be an especially effective catalyst for developing a critical awareness of issues of race, immigration, difference, and privilege. Art practices can become a platform for the negotiation and construction of meaning and lobby for removing the historic inequalities and injustices created by a stratified society. For this reason, it is important to understand culture and cultural diversity because culture provides beliefs, values, and the patterns that give meaning and structure to life. It enables individuals within the multiple social groups of which they are a part to function effectively in their social and cultural environments, which are constantly changing. Groups try to maintain social hierarchies and individuals maintain their position within such hierarchies by excluding others, to deny difference and try and enforce homogeneity and reproduce current social relations. As such if forces such as, differences in race, culture, gender, language, and religion are well understood, the students will engage in the process of identifying ways to manage them to shape their own educational practices.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Terwyl elke Botswana burger wetlik aanspraak kan maak op burgerskap binne die raamwerk van die moderne volkstaat, word sommige (hoofsaaklik minderheidsgroepe) deur ander (veral Tswana groepe) as minder egte burgers beskou. Daar bestaan ‘n hierargie van burgerskap wat deur politieke, ekonomiese, sosiale en kulturele ongelykhede bevorder word; tot die mate dat sommige individue en groepe meer geredelik hulle regte kan verwoord as ander. Etniese identiteite blyk sterker te wees as ‘nasionale identiteite’ omdat dat dit op makrovlak funksioneer sowel as op ‘n onmiddellike en daaglikse basis. Gevolglik dring die multikulturele en linguistiese diversiteit van Taung ons om elke groep as heterogeen uniek en belangrik op sy eie manier te beskou, aangesien studente gemarginaliseerd raak weens individuele omstandighede, deurdat hulle lede van geskiedkundigonderdrukte sosiale groepe is. Die hoofdoel van hierdie studie was om ondersoek in te stel na die visuele kunste as ‘n leerplatform om oor sosiale en kulturele betekenisse te onderhandel en selfbeskouings toe te lig. Daar is besluit dat ‘n kwalitatiewe benadering tot die studie die mees geskikte manier is om die navorsing uit te voer. ‘n Verklarende analise is gevolg om insig te verkry ten opsigte van hoe studente sin maak uit hulle ervarings en die betekenisvolheid van kuns as ‘n platform om oor stigmas en stereotipes in die klas en skool te onderhandel. Deur van Taung Junior Sekondêre Skool, met twaalf studente van verskillende etniese groepe, as gevallestudie gebruik te maak, is twee hooftemas, nl verskil en diskriminasie, geidentifiseer. Die subtemas wat onder verskil bespreek word, sluit ras, etnisiteit en burgerskap en taal in; terwyl stereotipering en stigma, gevoelens van ongemak en verwerping en ‘Othering’ en marginalisering onder die tema diskriminasie bespreek word. My studie het getoon dat kuns ‘n besonder effektiewe katalisator is vir die ontwikkeling van ‘n kritiese bewustheid ten opsigte van kwessies soos ras, immigrasie, verskil en voorreg. Kunspraktyke kan ‘n platform word vir die onderhandeling en konstruksie van betekenis en selfs druk uitoefen ten opsigte van die opheffing van historiese ongelykhede en ongeregtighede wat deur ‘n gestratifiseerde samelewing geskep is. Dit is vir hierdie rede belangrik om kultuur en kulturele diversiteit te verstaan omdat kultuur die oortuigings, waardes en die patrone voorsien wat betekenis en struktuur aan die lewe gee. Dit gee vir individue binne die verskeie sosiale groepe waarvan hulle deel vorm, die vermoë om effektief in hul sosiale en kulturele omgewings, wat deurlopend verander, te funksioneer. Groepe poog om sosiale hierargië te handhaaf en individue handhaaf op hulle beurt hul posisie binne hierdie hierargië deur ander uit te sluit, verskille te ontken en homogeniteit af te dwing en huidige sosiale verhoudings te herproduseer. Indien daar ‘n goeie begrip is van magte, soos verskille in ras, kultuur, geslag, taal en godsdiens, sal studente betrokke raak by die proses om maniere te identifiseer om dit te bestuur en sodoende hule eie opvoedkundige praktyke te vorm.

Full textAbstract:
The creative work, The Wounded Sinner, and the accompanying exegesis, form a volume of writing that considers aspects of place and belonging in a contemporary Australian context through the agencies of Aboriginality, migration and homelessness. While these issues are present and, at times, contentious in the structure of modern Australian society they have roots in past eras of empire building, racism and the movement from agrarianism to industrialisation. The characters are drawn from my own experiences and, as such, validate both the creative work and give the exegesis substance.
Jeanie Bayona is an Aboriginal woman who was raised, from infancy, by an Anglo family in Perth. She and her partner, Matthew, a fellow teacher, move to Leonora in the eastern goldfields, the lands of the ‘dingo dreamers,’ her people. Jeanie is for many years content to exist on the edge of Aboriginal society, reluctant to leave the security of the ‘white’ life she had grown up with. However, her eldest daughter, Jaylene, already enmeshed in both worlds, challenges Jeanie to answer the spiritual calling to embrace her roots.
Matthew Andrews is chasing the elusive dream to become a writer while nursing his ailing father in the ancestral home, The Wounded Sinner, in Guildford. He lacks the ability to do either well. Still, it keeps him away from the responsibility of fatherhood three weeks out of four and for that he is secretly grateful. However, five years of commuting from Leonora to Perth has strained Jeanie and Matthew’s relationship, though Matthew rarely sees anything outside of his ego-centric world.
Both Jeanie and Matthew engage in new relationships: she with the perverse Ben Poulson and he, the troubled Vince Romano and homeless ex-Vietnam veteran, Lazslo Smith. The central character of the creative work, however, is the old Guildford house, The Wounded Sinner, which symbolises the old establishment values that were, for better or worse, the values that built Australia. Australia is undergoing change which The Wounded Sinner is raggedly reluctant to accept. It remains a bastion of Anglo-Celtic ideals and is personified through Matthew’s father, Archie, as he rails against what he sees as the ‘problems’ of contemporary Australia: the homeless, the Aboriginals and the non-Anglo Australians.
The exegesis, titled ‘A stirring of cultures: the contest for place, belonging and identity in Australia,’ explains through the experiences of migrants, Aboriginal Australians and the homeless the problems and difficulties of those who don’t meet the strict criteria of the core values representing Anglo-Celtic society. The contest for place, belonging and identity in Australia as expressed in my creative work, The Wounded Sinner, is exemplified in the exegesis around those aforementioned themes and corroborated throughout by a wide authorship, both present and past. Interspersed through the text, too, are personal reflections of relevant episodes that have contributed to my understanding of Australian society and how I am part of it.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen syftar kartlägga den känsla av social tillhörighet som individer med utomsvensk bakgrund upplever i dagens Sverige. Hur Sverige och svenskhet erfars och utefter vilka villkor vardagen struktureras. Kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes och den subjektiva verklighetsupplevelsen analyserades med hjälp av en abduktiv ansats. Det empiriska materialet tolkades mot bakgrund av ett socialkonstruktionistiskt ramverk kombinerat med stigmabegreppet och behovet av tillhörighet för skapandet av identitet. Resultaten visar att det i Sverige existerar en strukturell diskriminering baserad på etnicitet och ett andregörande av individer med utomsvenskt påbrå, ett andregörande vilket har sin grund i ett förgivettaget vitt tolkningsföreträde. Maktobalansen tvingar individen in i en avvikande roll som paradoxalt nog krävs för att integreras. Att vara svensk är därför ingenting lätt att bli då kategoriseringarna är starkt etablerade och svårförenliga med en blandad nationell bakgrund, något bristen på adekvat terminologi i det svenska språket belyser. Språkkunskaper, socialt engagemang och meningsfulla relationer visar sig ha en signifikant effekt på skapandet av sammanhang och tillhörighet.This paper aims to identify the feeling of social belonging which individuals of non-swedish descent are experiencing in Sweden today. The relationship to Sweden and it’s citizens and which structural terms the individual is living after. To answer this qualitative semistructured interviews were performed and the subjective interpretation of reality was analyzed with an abductive method. The empirical material was viewed against a background made of social constructionism, stigmatization and the need of belonging for the creation of identity. The results show that in Sweden there exists a structural discrimination based on ethnicity and an othering of individuals of non-swedish descent, an othering which has a ground in a preconception of a white definition of reality. This power imbalance forces the individual into a position as a deviant, which paradoxically is required for integration. To be swedish is therefore nothing which comes easy as the categories are tightly constructed and hard to integrate with a mixed national background, something the lack of adequate terminology in the swedish language portraits. Knowledge of language, commitment in various settings and meaningful relationships are shown to have a significant effect on the creation of context and belonging.

Full textAbstract:
The primary goal of this research study was to explore the effects of a trauma-informed intervention on relaxation and body awareness in sheltered homeless women, where trauma history can be a pathway to homelessness, and the experience of homelessness itself can be traumatic. The study took place at three interim housing locations along the peninsula of the greater San Francisco Bay Area and utilized a quantitative quasi-experimental one-group pretest/posttest design with qualitative inquiry. Quantitative data was gathered via the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) and a 10-item revised Scale of Body Connection (SBC). A brief closing questionnaire provided insights into this population and their experience of this intervention. Overall quantitative results suggest that participants experienced a significant reduction in distress toward ‘peaceful, calm, relaxed’ as a result of engaging in this research intervention. Results did not reflect a significant change to participants’ body awareness. Overall qualitative results showed a strong preference toward the mindful body-centered art making component of the intervention, participant insights relating to the value of self-expression and retaining a sense of control, and self-report increases to participants’ sense of calm, relaxation, and ease throughout this creative process. Over time, it is thought that regular engagement with mindfulness and art therapy would foster a return to more optimal arousal regulation and grounded body awareness in the context of trauma and chronic stress, while also promoting a sense of person-led empowerment.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines how social cohesion is built through exchange of urban art. Graffiti and street art are treated like dirt and washed away. Unsanctioned art is often perceived as alien to museums and private homes. Despite this, many graffiti and street artists produce art in studios that are sold in galleries as urban art. Through ethnographic tools and site visits to homes of collectors in the United States and Sweden this study explores what it means to exchange and own urban art. Guided by Émile Durkheim’s theories on social cohesion and Georg Simmel’s writings on social boundaries, sociological implications of material things are investigated. The analysis shows that exchange of urban art produces and affirms social bonds and passionate feelings about belonging to a specific art world. Artworks in private homes symbolically represent unsanctioned art; which makes collectors feel joy, purpose, and confidence. Urban art collectors dodge discursive definitions of art in favor of nondiscursive and pragmatic boundary work. In contrast to a Bourdieusian perspective this study found that art is not as much about reproduction of social hierarchies as about making social life meaningful and connected. The results suggest further research on materiality in times of digital media.

This research situates itself in the study of stigma in mental illness. In particular, the aim is to explore the potential that art making and exhibiting has in reducing stigma for those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. The research explores one aspect (the exhibition stage) of an "art as therapy" project. The exhibiting of one’s artwork aims to counter limiting "patient" identities by allowing those labelled as psychiatric patients to extend their self-identity to an alternative identity of the "artist". However, this idea only stands strong if the artwork created is not discriminated against as "naïve art" and is accepted or at least considered for acceptance as legitimate nonprofessional artwork. This research explores the ways in which art created by inpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia is received by the general art-viewing public at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, South Africa. The study uses a discourse analytic framework to analyse the interviews of members of the public who attended the art exhibition of patient artwork. It will examine the ways in which the public construct the artworks and how they position the makers of this art across a continuum, from patient to artist. The results of this thesis have implications for rehabilitation practices for people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia particularly with regard to opportunities to "perform" alternative identities in public spaces.

Full textAbstract:
O que faz a arte ser arte é o principal tema deste trabalho, que inicia suas considerações a partir da resistência encarada pela arte urbana, desde sua origem, a ser respeitada como arte. Compreendemos a arte urbana não apenas como o graffiti, mas também a arte de rua e outros fazeres artísticos que se relacionam com o espaço urbano de maneira direta e retroativa, construindo um medium para esta arte. Apresentamos seu desenvolvimento histórico, especialmente na cidade de São Paulo, mas já considerando os limites da história da arte para compreender a arte contemporânea. Consideramos que grande parte do debate não se concentra no desenvolvimento da arte urbana, mas em todo o processo histórico de sedimentações de conceitos e imposições sobre o que a arte deve ser para ser assim compreendida. Assim, buscamos o que é o ser-artístico, da arte e do homem. Nossas buscas debruçam-se sobre a Estética, desde seus primórdios até a sua destruição fenomenológica feita por Heidegger, para elucidar a cisão entre o que se diz sobre a arte e o que ela é em sua essência. Em seguida, consideramos que Heidegger localiza na arte condições ontológicas que eram até então pertinentes apenas ao homem e, com isso, buscamos o que há de essencialmente artístico na existência humana especialmente nos dias contemporâneos, quando o homem vive a partir de ficções que consegue construir em sua abstração social. Considerando a arte como uma ação humana em seu sentido arendtiano o que nos obriga a uma reconstrução hermenêutica da filosofia de Arendt , buscamos a relação entre a arte com o ser em coletivo, tornado socialmente abstrato e dividido em identidades artificiais. Assim, analisamos a arte urbana como uma possibilidade de um enraizamento pelo dissenso, pela não obrigatoriedade de consensos sociais arbitrários. O enraizamento pelo dissenso, artístico e humano, que defendemos a partir da arte urbana, nos leva a uma discussão sobre Ética e sensus communis, e quais esperanças podemos tecer neste cenário. Por fim, compreendemos a arte, e, em nosso caso particular, a arte urbana, como uma possibilidade humanismo tal qual defendido por Heidegger: a proximidade do homem com sua essência, com a busca pela verdade do Ser em sua clareiraWhat makes art be art is the main theme of this work, which begins its considerations from the resistence faced by urban art since its origins, of being respected as art. We understand as urban art not only the graffiti, but also street art and other artistic doings that are related to urban space directly and retroactively, building a medium to urban art. We present its historical development especially in the city of São Paulo, but already considering the limits of art history to understand contemporary art. We consider that a great part of this debate does not focus on the development of urban art, but throughout the historic sedimentation process of concepts and impositions on what art must be in order to be respected. We intend to understand what is the artistic-being, of art and men. Our searches lay on Aesthetics, from its beginnings to its phenomenological destruction made by Heidegger, to elucidate the scission between what is said about art and what art is in its essence. We consider that Heidegger has located ontological conditions in art that was previously intrinsic only to men. Therefore, we look for what exists of essentially artistic in human existence especially in contemporary days, when men live through fictions that one can build from one social abstraction. Considering art, in its Arendt sense, as a human action what makes us do an hermeneutic reconstruction of Arendts philosophy we investigate the relationship between art and being man in a collective context becoming a socially abstract being divided by artificial identities. We have analyzed urban art as a possibility of social rooting by the dissensus, that needs no arbitrary social consensus. The social rooting by the human and artistic dissensus that we constructed parting from urban art, brings us into a discussion about sensus communis and Ethics, and what hopes can we weave on this scenario. Finally, we understand the art, and in our particular case, urban art, as a potential humanism as it is defended by Heidegger: men\'s proximity to its essence, the searching for the truth of the Being in its brightness

Within recent years, there has been a significant increase in popular commentary on internet trolls and what they mean for online interactions. Significant attention is often paid to framing trolls as individual, pathological, and atypical. While there is much one-sided dialogue occurring in the media, however, the literature on internet trolling remains scarce. This exploratory study contributes to the developing literature by addressing internet trolls directly. Drawing on interviews with a self-identified troll and content analysis, this thesis aims to understand how trolls operate, interact, and make meaning while highlighting the role of identity and emotions. This study finds that internet trolls are highly organized and social, in direct contradiction to the prevailing media narrative.

Diverse discourses are drawn in to consider issues of body, subjectivity and spectatorship, refracted through the writer’s experiences of and discontent with making theatre. Written in a fractal-like structure, rather than a linear progression, this thesis unsettles discourses of truth, thus simultaneously intervening in debates about the epistemologies of the body and of theatre in context of the academy. Chapter 1: Methodological Anxieties Psychoanalytic theory provides a way in for investigating the dynamics of theatrical performance and its corporeal presence, by focusing on desire and its implication in the notions of loss and anxiety. The theories of the unconscious and the gaze have epistemological implications, shifting definitions of “presence” and “truth” in theatre performance and writing about theatre. This chapter tries to outline the rationale for, as well as to enact, an alternative methodology for writing, as an ethical response to loss that does not insist on consensus and truth. Chapter 2: (Refusing to) Look at Trauma This chapter examines the politics that strives to make suffering visible. Discursive binaries of public/private, dead/living, and invisible/visible underlie the politics of AIDS and sexuality. These discourses impact on the reception of Bill T. Jones's choreography, despite his use of modernist artistic processes in search of a bodily presence that aims to collapse the binary of representation (text) and its subject (being). The theory of the gaze shows this politics to be a phallocentric discourse; and narrative analysis traces the metanarrative that results in the commodification of oppositional identities, so that spectators participate in the politics as consumers. An ethical artistic response thus needs to shift its focus to the subjectivity of the spectator. Chapter 3: The Screen and the Viewer’s Blindness By appealing to a transcendent reality, and by constituting spectators as a participative community, ritual theatre claims to enact change. The “truth” of ritual rests not on rational knowledge, but on the performer’s competence to produce a shamanic presence, which director Brett Bailey embraces in his early work. Ritual presence operates by identification and belonging to a father/god as the source of meaning; but it represses the loss of this originary wholeness. Spectators of ritual theatre are drawn into an enactment of communion/community, the centre of which is, however, loss/emptiness. The claim of enacting change becomes problematic for its absence of truth. Bailey attempts to perform a hybrid, postcolonial aesthetics; but the problem rests in the larger context of performing the notion of “South Africa”, a communal identity hardened around the metanarrative of suffering, abjecting those that do not belong to the land of the father/god – foreigners that unsettle the meaning of South African identity. Conclusion: Bodies of Discontent The South African stage is circumscribed by political and economic discourses; the problematization of national identity is also a problematization of image-identification in the theatre. In search for a way to unsettle these interrogative discourses, two moments of performing foreignness are examined, one fictional, one theatrical. These moments enact a parallel to the feminine hysteric, who disturbs the phallocentric truth of the psychoanalyst through body performance. These moments of disturbing spectatorship are reflected in the works of performance artist Marina Abramovic. Her explorations into passive-aggression, shamanism and finally theatricality and the morality of spectatorship allow for an overview of the issues raised in this thesis regarding body, viewing, and subjecthood. Sensitivity to the body and its discontent on the part of the viewer becomes crucial to ethical performance.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir de observações cotidianas em sala de aula, na disciplina de Arte, nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública, no interior do estado de São Paulo, com enfoque nas concepções estéticas de teor heteronormativo, uma vez que se têm constatado falas preconceituosas e sexistas entre os educandos, com atitudes que se reproduzem no ambiente escolar, resultando em posturas de segregação. Daí a necessidade de se discutir tais posturas heteronormativas no âmbito escolar e de se promover, por meio de grupos operativos, mudanças em relação às referidas situações observadas pela arte-educadora e pesquisadora no cotidiano da escola. Assim, por objetivo geral buscou-se desenvolver consciência crítica e reflexiva para superar a estética heteronormativa entre os educandos. Nessa direção, apresentam-se como objetivos específicos: a) A construção e aplicação de uma Sequência Didática utilizando conceitos da Psicologia Social para formação de Grupo Operativo, propiciando a superação de modelos heteronormativos; b) disponibilizar os procedimentos efetuados, ações e orientações, ou seja, o produto integrante à dissertação deste trabalho, em um site. Sob a abordagem qualitativa, o trabalho constitui-se no entrelaçamento de três linhas de estudo, que convergem em sua ideologia e didática: a construção de grupos transformadores de sua realidade (grupo operativo); uso da metodologia em pesquisa-ação (educador fazendo parte/atuando na construção do projeto); e a busca de mudança em relação às situações heteronormativas presentes subjetivamente (relações de gênero) no ambiente escolar. É perceptível encaminhamentos na concepção da Educação Popular pelos textos de Paulo Freire que serviram de base para tal. Os resultados obtidos pela observação sistemática das percepções dos educandos apontam para avanços nas posturas de tolerância, ainda que pequenos, sendo necessário um trabalho contínuo com esta abordagem para que a prática grupal e inclusiva torne-se hábito na Educação Básica.
This work was developed based on daily observations in the classroom, in the Art subject classes on the initial years of a public Elementary School, in São Paulo state, focusing on aesthetic conceptions of heteronormative content, since it has been observed a biased and sexist speech among students, with attitudes that are reproduced in the school environment, resulting on postures of segregation. Hence the need of discussing such heteronormative postures in the school context and to promote, through operative groups, changes in relation to the referred situations observed by the art educator and researcher in the daily life of the school. Thus, the general goal of this work has been to develop critical and reflexive awareness to overcome the heteronormative aesthetics among learners. In this direction, specific purposes are presented: a) the development and application of a pedagogical sequence model using Social Psychology concepts to form an Operative Group, providing the overcoming of heteronormative models; B) provide the procedures, actions and guidelines, that is, the integral product of this dissertation work, in a website. Under a qualitative approach, this work consists in an interweaving of three lines of study, which converge in its ideology and didactics: the construction of transforming groups on their own reality (operating group); The use of a methodology in action research (educator as part / acting in the construction of the project); and the search for change in relation to a present and subjectively heteronormative situation (gender relations) in the school environment. It is noticeable referrals in the conception of Popular Education by the texts of Paulo Freire that served as base for this work. The results obtained by the systematic observation of the students' perceptions pointed to advances on tolerance postures, even it has been a small one. It is necessary a continuously work with this approach method for that practice and inclusive group to become a habit in Basic Education.

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med denna narrativa studie är att beskriva och förstå upplevelsen av hur unga svarta kvinnors identiteter kan utformas i mötet med andra människor i Sverige. Därför används begreppet intersektionalitet för att belysa skillnader mellan sociala kategoriseringar så som “ras”, klass, religion och etnicitet i identitetsskapande. Identitet formas kontinuerligt beroende av situation och i samspel med andra människor. Studien bygger på en kvalitativ ansats med tolv semi-strukturerade intervjuer med svenskfödda svarta kvinnor i åldern 20–30. Studiens resultat visade att samtliga intervjupersoner upplevde en form av utanförskap, bristande representation i media, fördomar i mötet med omgivningen och en svag tillhörighetskänsla till samhället. De flesta av respondenterna upplevde marginalisering till följd av deras hudfärg, klädsel, klasskillnader samt religionstillhörigheter. Samtliga respondenter upplevde att deras olika intersektioner av identiteter i det svenska samhället skapar svårigheter för identitetsskapandet, på grund av att samspelet av olika sociala kategoriseringar förstärker en strukturell makthierarki. Resultatet framhäver även en positiv frihet i att uppleva sig tillhöra flera identiteter samtidigt.The purpose with this narrative study is to describe and understand how the experiences of young black women’s identities can be shaped through interactions with other people in Sweden. The term intersectionality is therefore used to highlight differences between social categories such as race, class, religion and ethnicity in the construction of identity. The identity is formed continuously depending on the situation and within interactions with other people. This study is based on a qualitative approach with twelve semi-structured interviews conducted with black females between the ages of 20-30 born in Sweden. The results of this study revealed experiences of exclusion, lack of representation in media, prejudices in the surroundings and a weak sense of belonging to the society among the participants. Most of the participants experienced marginalization, because of their skin complexion, clothing, class differences and religious identity. All the participants experienced that their different intersecting identities in Swedish society creates difficulties for identity construction, due to the interplay of different social categories which reinforces a structural power hierarchy. The results also illustrate a positive sense of freedom in the experience of belonging to various identities at the same time.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a vida e a obra de um grafiteiro. A partir do convívio com o artista Bruno Pastore, foi possível constituírmos um mundo de acontecimentos, imagens e palavras, que resultou na descoberta dos sentidos da arte quando integrada na vida. Trata-se de um mestrado em Psicologia Social, permeado pelo método fenomenológico de pesquisa, cuja principal característica é a suspensão das teorias préconcebidas e dos pressupostos, para que o pesquisador possa ir ao encontro do que se mostra a partir do ponto de vista de Bruno Pastore. Revelamos, em primeiro lugar, a trajetória de vida do artista, trazendo à tona acontecimentos importantes e denúncias diversas. Em seguida, elaboramos uma leitura de suas principais produções artísticas, entre elas grafites e poesias, integradas sempre no contexto de sua história de vida. Por último, apresentamos um ensaio filosófico baseado nas referências teóricas que esse estudo suscitou. O texto, assim como o grafite, se desenha na forma de um palimpsesto, pois é sustentado por referências que ligam os seus capítulos principais, que podem ser lidos independentemente, ou na ordem que mais aprouver o leitorThis work aims to understand in the light of phenomenology, life and work of a graffiti artist. From the meeting with the artist Bruno Pastore was possible for us to constitute a world of events, images and words, which resulted in the discovery of the meanings of art when built in life.This is a master\\\'s degree in Social Psychology, permeated by the phenomenological research method, in which the main feature is the suspension of preconceived theories and assumptions, so that the researcher can go back to what is shown from the point Bruno Pastore of view. Reveal, first, the trajectory of the artist\\\'s life, bringing up several key events and complaints. Then do a reading of his main artistic productions, including graffiti and poetry, always integrated with the context of his life story. Finally, we present a philosophical essay based on theoretical references that this study has raised. The text, as well as graphite, is drawn in the form of a palimpsest, because it is supported by references linking its main chapters, which can be read independently, or in the order that most pleases the reader

O objeto dessa pesquisa é o processo de significação construído acerca do Festival Internacional de Inverno de Campos do Jordão nas vivências sociais de músicos da comunidade local. Sabemos que o festival é um evento artístico e cultural que envolve diferentes instituições e pessoas, e pode ser estudado por diversos ângulos. Aqui nos interessa observá-lo a partir de um estudo psicossocial com os seguintes objetivos: 1. Compreender as significações do evento neste público específico; 2. Refletir sobre as relações estabelecidas entre os sujeitos e o Festival. A Psicologia Social da Arte contribui na compreensão dos meandros da vida social através do olhar e da escuta às vivências que pulsam nas relações dos sujeitos com a arte. Desnaturalizando o conceito de social, compreendido por muitos como simples sociabilidade, a Psicologia favorece a compreensão dessas relações quando toma por objeto o social como um campo problemático que possui uma historicidade e que é forjado a partir de uma configuração específica de práticas que variam de acordo com as características de cada coletividade humana. Campos do Jordão é uma cidade brasileira que apesar de apresentar níveis de riqueza elevados, não é capaz de atingir bons indicadores sociais. É uma cidade de paradoxos: casas, condomínios, hotelaria e comércio de luxo por um lado; casebres, morros e encostas habitadas irregularmente, 80% da população com renda de até 05 salários mínimos de outro. Está entre as cidades brasileiras onde as diferenças sociais são mais claramente perceptíveis. Os resultados apontam para a ausência de relações formais entre os músicos e o Festival uma vez que nenhum deles chegou a participar como músico. Entretanto essa ausência não é vazia. Ao contrário, ela é permeada de significados como tristeza, ressentimento, distanciamento, mas também intercalada de esperança e desejo de participar e se apropriar como sujeito atuante. As reflexões apontam para a necessária mudança de atitudes, de nosso olhar, frente às formas como a arte e a produção artística são organizadas em nosso país para que em breve haja muitos exemplos e trabalhos que contemplem a transformação social através do viver artístico.The meaning process built about The Campos do Jordão International Winter Festival in resident musicians social living is the object of this research. We do know that the festival is an artistic and cultural event which involves different institutions and people and it can be studied through different scopes. We are interested here to look upon it from a psychosocial study whose objectives are: 1. Understand the meanings of the event from the specific subjects speech; 2. Reflect about the relations established between the musicians and the Festival. The Social Psychology of Art contributes to the comprehension of social life through a view and listening to life which pulses among people and arts. Denaturalizing the social concept, understood as a simple sociability by many people, the Social Psychology favors the comprehension of the relations between people (and arts). It takes the social as a historicity field that is forged through specific practices that vary depending on the characteristics of each human society. Campos do Jordão is a Brazilian city that despite presenting high rich levels cannot reach good social index-finger. It is a city of paradoxes: in one side we can see luxury houses, condominium, five stars hotels and expensive stores, in the other we can see humble habitation, mount and hillside irregularly occupied, 80% of resident population receiving low salaries. It is certainly one of Brazilian cities where the social differences can be clearer seen. The results of the research point to the absence of formal relation between the festival and the resident musicians once none of them has ever participated as a musician. However this absence is not empty of meanings. On the contrary, it is full of feelings like sadness, resentment and being far away from the festival. But we also could see hope, wish of belonging and acting as active subjects. The reflections point to a necessary change of attitude and look to the forms art and artistic production is organized in Brazil. In this way we hope to have many examples and works which contemplate the social changing through the arts.

O trabalho a seguir propõe um estudo do filme Chaplin (1992), dirigido por Richard Attenborough. Essa investigação foi feita sob a perspectiva da psicologia social da arte e do cinema, procurando entender o objeto dentro do campo em que ele se encaixa: a atividade artística. Levantamos também a discussão das temáticas que a própria obra suscita. Para tal, alguns autores de áreas conciliáveis com a psicologia foram utilizados também. Exemplo disso é a forte presença de estudos iconológicos no trabalho. Em nossa avaliação do filme subdividimos a análise em duas etapas majoritárias. Na primeira delas, separamos a obra por seções, de acordo com o que consideramos como momentos distintos da narrativa. Cada uma delas corresponde a uma fase da vida do personagem principal e/ou uma série de acontecimentos muito marcantes correlacionados. Nessas seções consideramos também algumas categorias técnicas para a avaliação das cenas. São as atuações, a música, os diferentes enquadramentos e cenários e a luminosidade dos frames, assim como as suas cores. Já na segunda parte da análise, algumas das sequências são avaliadas mais profundamente, considerando as categorias anteriormente citadas e fazendo uma descrição minuciosa do correr daquele instante narrativo. Além disso, são discutidos os tópicos que aparecem com mais força na sequência. Ou seja, estivemos atentos a dois aspectos principais enquanto analisamos o filme: as temáticas recorrentes da obra (como a relação entre fama, sucesso e solidão, por exemplo) e as estratégias utilizadas pela película para criar as cenas e a narrativa. A forma como ela combina os enquadramentos, a música e os demais elementos. Por fim, estabelecemos algumas reflexões gerais sobre o filme como um todo, pensando na análise das seções e das sequências escolhidas. Assim como também propomos uma continuidade das discussões erigidas nesta pesquisaThe following work proposes a study of Chaplin (1992), movie directed by Richard Attenborough. We carried this inquiry under the Social Psychology of Art and Cinema perspective, trying to understand the object inside the field it fits in: the artistic activity. We also discussed themes the own work of art elicits. For this, we applied scholars whose areas dialogue with Psychology as well. For instance, we have a strong presence of iconological studies in the work. The examination of the film required a two main steps subdivided analysis. On the first one, we separated the movie into sections, according to what we considered distinguished moments of the narrative. Each one of them matches a protagonists life phase and/or a correlated chain of remarkable events. We also considered some technical categories on these sections, so we could examine the scenes. They are the performers acting, music, framings and scenarios, and finally the colors and luminosity of these frames. Then we have the second part analysis, which is a deep and detailed examination of some sequences, considering the mentioned categories. In other words, we kept our attention on two main aspects while conducting the analysis: the movie recurring issues (for instance, the relation between fame, success and loneliness) and its scene creation strategies. Namely, the combination of framing, music and other elements. Finally, there are some general reflections about the movie as a whole, contemplating the sections and the chosen sequences analysis. We also propose that the raised debates continue beyond this research
