Full textAbstract:
The characters in the short story collection The Language of Dolls spring up from the poor, the resource less multitudes of society. Caught in their culture, locale, and state in life, these characters struggle to manifest their potential to the fullest. In a way, they stretch their boundaries and distinguish themselves. Teetering on the verge of a collapse, whether men or women, poor or psychologically impoverished, they all emerge triumphant or often signal ambiguous resolutions. Most of the stories present the struggle of women in adverse circumstances. The Language of Dolls is an act of translation. Set in India and the United States, these stories, characters, their speech, actions, rituals, traditions, setting all are an alien culture fused indelibly to the English language.Master of Fine Arts

Full textAbstract:
Constance Eileen King, in her Dolls and Dolls' Houses (1977), describes the doll above (Figure 1) as a 'French bisque-headed doll with jointed body, fixed eyes and open mouth. The original costume is very decorative. Marked "* 95" for Phoenix Baby'. King's description is doll-collection speak, and shows a particular way of looking at dolls, one which typically identifies the country of origin (French), the name of the dollseries (Phoenix Baby), materials of which the doll is made (head made of bisque, a kind of unglazed porcelain) and any identifying marks it might have, with a particular emphasis on dress and head. This type of doll is usually referred to as a bebe, a word registered by French and German manufacturers by 1850 to describe a doll suggesting a child somewhere between the ages of four and twelve. The Liebe (in Figure 1) is a doll allright, but it is a very particular kind of doll, and gives a very particular idea of what a doll is. This doll represents perhaps the most nostalgically stereotypical idea of a doll: it shows a little girl in a pretty dress. If one goes and looks at the range of more modern dolls which clutter the shelves in toy stores--Ginny, Barbie, Cindy, Baby Dribbles, My First Baby, Action Man, Skydancer, Polly Pocket, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Spice Girls dolls, Power Rangers and Star Trek dolls, Furbies, to mention a few--one finds that dolls come representing a huge variety of different ages, social classes, ethnic and national backgrounds, occupations, hobbies. They are made of a variety of materials and combinations of materials; wood, leather, cloth, metal, composition (strengthened papier meiche), celluloid, plastic, wax, porcelain, stone. Often they are also what we might call borderline or fantasy human figures, half-monsters, three quarter animals, one third machines, in various combinations. Even though the French bebe might be immediately recognisable as a doll, and would conform to a conventional idea of a doll, it is by no means a typical doll. There is no typical doll.

Full textAbstract:
Preserving Psychick Order is an investigation into the subliminal, of a body processing trauma and transition. I explore how my mind and body filter memory, fear, and the impact of the past into the present. Since childhood, making dolls has been a way for me to express complex feelings, especially as they relate to dynamics between biological and found family. By tenderly modeling dolls after my own transforming physical features and mental processes, I make connections between the effects of my mind on my body and vice versa. I like to describe the resulting forms as queer monsters trying to camouflage themselves poorly in my parents’ home in rural Georgia. Unconscious becomes conscious, inside moves outward, and unmasking realizes the self and the trickster within.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested an underlying assumption of professionals who interview young children with anatomically correct dolls: children who have been sexually abused react differently to interviews with the dolls than children who have not been sexually abused. The behavior of a group of children who were referred to a mental health clinic in the southwestern United States because of suspected sexual abuse was compared to the behavior of a group of children referred to the same clinic for other reasons while the children were interviewed by clinicians using anatomically correct dolls. The study examined four categories of behavior which consisted of indicators of child sexual abuse from the literature. The four categories were: (1) sexual behavior; (2) anger/aggression; (3) anxiety/regression; and (4) avoidant behavior. Clinicians at the mental health clinic identified potential subjects for the study from the outpatient population. Parents were given written and verbal descriptions of the study and asked to contact the researcher if they were interested in allowing their child to participate. The voluntary nature of participation in the study was stressed. Eleven children who were referred because of suspected sexual abuse and eleven children referred for other reasons were successfully recruited. Groups were matched as closely as possible as to sex, age, racial/ethnic group and developmental level. Two dependent measures were employed: the Behavioral Checklist and the Likelihood of Victimization Scale. Both instruments were designed for the research study. The Behavioral Checklist was completed by two observers who watched each interview from behind a one-way mirror. The Likelihood of Victimization Scale was completed by the clinicians who interviewed the children. Observers as well as interviewers were blind to the referral status of the children. Statistically significant differences were obtained for two of the four categories of the Behavioral Checklist. The same two categories correlated significantly with the Likelihood of Victimization Scale. The results provided support for the assumption tested.

This work aims to investigate the relationship between the Bunraku theater and the film Dolls (2002), by the Japanese director Takeshi Kitano. To do so, it was initially done a theoretical study of this theater, detailing its key elements, and thus allowing a direct analysis of the film to be made. The main objective here was to reveal the film‟s connections with the Bunraku. The Sangyo refers to the simultaneous presence of three arts in the Bunraku theater: the narrative, the music and the manipulation of puppets. In Dolls, the director Takeshi Kitano presents a narrative through three different stories, all built with references to the Bunraku. As in the theater the three distinct arts harmonize on stage, in Dolls three separate stories will perform in harmony within the film. By confronting the Bunraku Theater with the film Dolls, the intention is to establish the connections between the scenic language of the Bunraku, the dramaturgy of Chikamatsu and also the cinema of Kitano. These connections allow to the understanding of how characteristics of a secular art, governed by strong rules and conventions, can be presented again through another language: the cinematic language and its particular set of codes and conventions

Full textAbstract:
There is a general lack of documentation which has been done on terra cotta production. Trends over the last several decades have shown that this industry is declining to the point where it could disappear completely. This project documents, through written descriptions and graphic illustrations, the process of terra cotta production in order to leave a record of what has been and what could be. Should the industry have a substantial resurgence to the extent that it is no longer in danger of extinction, or should general interest in the material develop further, this project will serve the purpose of an educational resource for the architect, preservationist, production industry and general public.It briefly covers the material and how it is formed, and how the way it is formed affects its limitations and durability. The project includes a history of the material from its most likely earliest applications to its current use. The history includes some of the major technological advances which have affected the material's production. A step-by-step guide to the production method involved in current terra cotta manufacture is included along with explanation of various related materials or processes which may not be commonly understood. Also included in this study is a look at the detection and correction of failures within terra cotta which is then outlined in a quick-reference tool for the preservation of terra cotta. The conclusion of the paper covers the outlook for the industry and the material along with ways for advancing both the knowledge of and desired use for terra cotta in new construction.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
With reference to the global emigration of South Africans (South African diaspora), this thesis explores themes of displacement, identity and cultural belonging. The hybrid figurine of a modified hula doll, adapted specifically from tourist memorabilia is used as a key motif in my investigation of narratives of portability and the portability of identity in particular. My research relies on a mix of puppet and collage typology, and the manipulation of miniatures and scale that emphasize spatial experiences. Hula dolls and a plastic Kewpie Doll, directly referencing Ray Lawler’s Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, are recurring motifs. These figurines act as metaphors for implied journeys, displacement and transformation. I work with a wide range of materials and mixed mediums to construct imagined worlds, in which I choreograph light, handcrafted stencils and kinetic objects. I aim to reconcile my use of these contrived or synthetic constructions and assembled collages through the amplification of their artifice within my videos and photographs. Working within the established range of methodologies associated with practice-based research, I draw particularly on phenomenology as lived experience, and utilize the phenomenological perspective of Merleau-Ponty. The aim of the studio investigation is to add to an understanding of the experience of South Africans living in Australia and perhaps the broader narrative and other mechanisms of displacement and construction of identity.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

Full textAbstract:
It could be argued that girl's play is witnessing a drastic transformation. This alteration is fostering much debate surrounding young girls and their notion of self identity. Neil Postman (1982) argues that childhood no longer exists as it has disappeared through the mass media. Likewise, Sharon Lamb (2001, 2006) argues that young girls are continually being sold the ideal attitude and a hyper-sexualized self identity through the media messages and products they consume. Such a problematic transformation raises several concerns with regards to girlhood studies. My research asks how MGA Entertainment's Bratz dolls place identity formation into question. By exploring the aforementioned notions, my research explores girl's play and identity and looks at how it contributes to the shaping of how a girl's choice in play impacts girlhood. I argue that such a claim would be best explored and answered through interviewing young girls and their mothers.

Full textAbstract:
Physical visualizations are artifacts that materialize abstract data. They take advantage of human natural abilities to interact with information in the physical world. These visualizations present an opportunity to be applied on new application domains. With the objective of discovering if physical visualizations can support remote monitoring of biological data, a technology probe is presented in the form of a reversed voodoo doll. This probe uses the natural affordance of an anthropomorphic figure to represent a person and reverses the concept of voodoo dolls in a playful way. The scenario of safety is selected for testing physical visualizations of bio-data. Two measurements from the human body, heart rate and motion are chosen as a light way to monitor remotely over a person’s conditions. During the study, a group of six participants were exposed to the technology probe and their interactions with it were observed. The study reports on the users’ interpretations of the data and uses given to the alternative modalities of the probe. The results suggest that the data mapping to the object’s body parts was effective for conveying meaning. Additionally, the results confirm that the use of multiple modalities in physical visualizations offers an opportunity to present information in situated contexts in the real world. The degree of physicality achieved by the reversed voodoo doll and the effects of the selected metaphors are discussed. In conclusion, it is argued that the responses and interpretations from the users indicate that the reversed voodoo doll served as a means in its own right to transmit information for monitoring of bio-data.Fysiska visualiseringar är artefakter som materialiserar abstrakt data. Genom att använda sig av mänskliga naturliga förmågor interagerar de med information i den fysiska världen. Dessa visualiseringar skapar möjligheter för appliceringar inom nya tillämpningsområden. För att undersöka om fysiska visualiseringar kan stödja fjärrövervakning av biologisk data introducerades en sond i form av en omvänd voodoodocka. Med en människolik figur representerar denna sond en verklig person. På så sätt utnyttjar den naturliga associationer till mänskliga egenskaper och omvänder konceptet vodoodockor på ett lekfullt sätt. De fysiska visualiseringarna av biologisk data testas ur ett säkerhetsperspektiv. Två värden, hjärtfrekvens och rörelse, mäts från en människokropp för att göra det möjligt att övervaka en persons tillstånd på distans. Under studien observeras sex användare då de interagerar med sonden. Studien visar hur användarna tolkar sondens data och hur användningen varierar med avseende på sondens olika modaliteter. Resultaten från denna studie tyder på att datamappningen till sondens kroppsdelar effektivt ökade förståelsen. Dessutom bekräftar resultaten att användning av flera modaliteter i fysiska visualiseringar gör det möjligt att presentera information, anpassat till olika situationer i den verkliga världen. Till vilken grad voodoodockan ger en känsla av kroppslighet samt konsekvenser av de valda metaforerna diskuteras. I slutsatsen hävdas att användarnas svar och tolkningar tyder på att den omvända voodoodockan fungerade som ett medel för att övervaka biologisk data.

Full textAbstract:
Many critics working in the field of literature for children have acknowledged the
prevalence of orphan characters, dolls and doll characters and "children-only" spaces in the
literature. While many have discussed their significance separately, to the best of my
knowledge no one has thus far examined how they can function and operate together in
literature for children. This examination of these formerly separate topics together is
grounded in the question: How do dolls, secret spaces and the play associated with them
function in literature for children such that the marginalized and displaced orphan girl
characters therein undergo positive psychological transformation?
My study is based in literary and psychological analysis. The theoretical framework
employs the play theories of D.W. Winnicott and Erik Erikson, in conjunction with Gaston
Bachelard's and Yi-Fu Tuan's theories of space. The methodology of this study builds upon
psychological analyses of the orphan girl protagonists, within the context of their secret space
environments and their relationships with dolls in the novels.
This thesis analyzes four distinct novels featuring orphan girl protagonists, secret
spaces and dolls, and examines the forms of psychological transformation experienced by
each protagonist: Rumer Godden's Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, Sylvia Cassedy's Lucie
Babbidge's House, Enys Tregarthen's The Doll Who Came Alive and Sylvia Cassedy's
Behind the Attic Wall. In each case, this positive outcome is encouraged and facilitated by
the girl's relationship to her dolls and her place of solace, or secret space. The patterns found
here can point to ways of discovering the psychological changes in other protagonists in
literature for children, and how playthings and secret spaces can work to facilitate these
changes.Arts, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
Grounded in multi-sited fieldwork within an agro-pastoralist highland village in Southwest Angola and in ethnology museums in Europe, Angola and Namibia, my research interweaves an ethnographic and a historical approach to better understand the meanings and social relationships generated by what I call “elusive dolls”: dolls that are difficult to find and slippery when encountered. The study explores postcolonial significances of African dolls, made by agro-pastoralist people, which have been sparsely collected for display in museums since colonial times. Using multiple field methods such as participant observation, archival research, photo-elicitation, and filmmaking, I trace the social relationships involved in the making of dolls in Southwest Angola and in the housing of the same kind of dolls in ethnology museums, paying particular attention to the material and social networks established around the practices of making and collecting them. Following the logic of local languages (olunyaneka, oshikwanyama), I use the notion of “crafted ‘children’” to define handcrafted dolls made of different materials, and address the meanings these dolls embody for makers, collectors and museum curators. I take a historical perspective to examine the dimensions of storage, research and display and address contrasting curatorial approaches to dolls in museums. While most curators have tended to focus on dolls and their supposed functions, a few have engaged with dolls in relation to other domains of the lifeworlds of rural makers and their skilled practices. Examining the limits of historical ethnographic research about local doll-usage, I build upon these alternative approaches by curators and ethnographically explore the relational dimensions of these dolls in two worlds in which they have material and social lives: Southwest Angola and ethnology museums. Firstly, I examine the regional diversity of these dolls, as crafted “children”, in the rural context through a situated understanding of ethnic and ecological diversity and rural-urban relations. Secondly, I explore the twofold notion of labour – that is, the labour in crafting and the labour in making a living - in the regional domestic economy of agro-pastoralist populations, showing how a resilient rural lifestyle, local and urban resources, seasonal demands, and personal skills linked to age and sociality generate and shape the practices of doll-making. Finally, I examine drawing and photography in published and unpublished material about dolls and show how the visual connects the worlds of curators, field-collectors, makers and ethnographers. A large part of the literature on ethnology museum collections tends to focus on “repatriation”, discussing relations between museums and “source communities”. By contrast, an analytical framework connecting doll-making and collecting, the regional conditions of a crafting practice and its local immersion in rural everyday life, appears only marginally in the literature - this is where my research makes a significant contribution. My thesis contributes to critical museology research, Africanist studies, and visual anthropology and engages with debates on materiality and skill. The film that accompanies the thesis, Making a Living in the Dry Season, is grounded in a long-term stay in a village, and examines the twofold notion of labour mentioned above through the practice of doll-making. I recommend first reading the thesis up until Chapter three, followed by watching the film, and then turning to the remaining chapters.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine a way to measure students’ knowledge development by using a self-made measure instrument based on William Doll’s postmodern curriculum. Question: Is it suitable to use an self-made measure instrument based on William Doll’s post-modern curriculum theory to measure development of knowledge? Methods: The study was based on process-hermeneutics and was focused on analysingcollege students’ written and oral reflective thoughts. The data was collected over three lessons, where six students’ written reflective thoughts were handed in. An observation was carried out each lesson for an extra control of validity. A group of nine students was taken as a control of the measure instrument’s reliability. The measure instrument was built from Doll’s categories: Richness, Recursion, Relations and Rigor. Each category was divided by three levels of thinking. Each reflective task was judged by two judges. An extra text analysing was done to control whether there was a knowledge development outside the measure instrument. Results: The results of the judged reflective tasks was tested with both Cohen’s Kappa and Cronbach’s alpha. Cohen’s Kappa revealed the accordance of k= -0.047 n=9 for the control group and k= 0.364 n=14 (reflective tasks) for the test group. Cronbach’s alpha revealed a consistency of 0.645 n=9 (students) in the control group and 0.351 n=6 in the test group. After three lessons, judge one considered 66%, judge two 33% of the students demonstrated acquired development of knowledge. One criteria, Rigor, showed a low rate of acquired knowledge development. The reason behind that could be in the nature of the theory behind Rigor itself, and the students’ understandings of it. Conclusion: The results does not support the premises of this study. The tests of reliability fail to support the claim that the measure instrument should be reliable enoughto be used to measure knowledge. The instrument needs to be altered to be able toserve as a reliable tool for measurement. Further research is needed in order to reveal if the instrument and Doll’s 4R theory are useful as curriculum and measuring tool for knowledge development.

Full textAbstract:
Existing accounts of the music profession argue that between 1750 and 1850 musicians acquired a new identity as professional ‘artists’ and experienced a concomitant rise in their social and cultural status. In the absence of sustained investigation, it has often been implied that these changes affected male and female musicians in similar ways. As this thesis contends, this was by no means the case. Arguments in support of female musical professionalism, artistry, and their function in public life were made in this period. Based on the gender-specific nature of the female voice, they were an important defence of women’s public engagement that has been overlooked by gender historians, something which this thesis sets out to correct. However, the public role and professionalism of female musicians were in opposition to the prevailing valorisation of female domesticity and privacy. Furthermore, the notion of women as creative artists was highly unstable in an era which tended to label artistry, ‘genius’ and creativity as male attributes. For these reasons, the idea of female musicians as professional artists was always in tension with contemporary conceptions of gender, making women’s experience of the ‘rise of the artist’ much more contested and uncertain compared to that of men. Those advocating the female singer as professional artist were a minority in the British musical world. Their views co-existed alongside very different and much more prevalent approaches to the female singer which had little to do with the idea of the professional artist. Through examining debates about female singers in printed sources, particularly newspapers and periodicals, alongside case studies based on the surviving documents of specific singers, this thesis builds a picture of increasing diversity in the experiences and representations of female musicians in this period and underlines the controlling influence of gender in shaping responses to them.

Full textAbstract:
Rock’n’roll has specific aesthetic — a set of invisible rules that each young rock musician accepts as a given. If one examines the history of rock’n’roll starting from 1950s, one will notice that there was a clear division in rock that separates the rock’n’roll of 1950s from rock of the second half of the 1960s and beyond—the rock that we know today. This thesis investigates how the visual aesthetic of rock’n’roll evolved from its origins in the 1950s blues tradition, how it was formed in the second half of the 1960s, and how it was modified in the first half of the 1970s. In particular, it focuses on the role played by the British band Rolling Stones as mediators between the 1950s early rock aesthetics rooted in the blues tradition and the Beats’ ideology and the subsequent generations of American rockers who emerged in the 1970s, such as the band New York Dolls. The final section of the thesis investigates how the New York Dolls adopted and transmitted the aesthetics of authenticity pioneered by the Stones to the new wave of punk and grunge bands. Although the thesis considers the music produced within this milieu, its primary focus is on the visual presentation and promotion of the new aesthetic through stage performances, publicity and the medium of television.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the construction of upper- and middle-class children as readers and consumers in Victorian and Edwardian England, a period which witnessed the Golden Age of children’s literature and major reforms in education. Through the examination of dolls’ house play and representations of dolls’ houses in English children’s literature from the 1860s to the 1920s, as well as autobiographical accounts of childhood reading and playing in adult women’s memoirs, this thesis engages with recent scholarship on children’s literature, material culture and gender to demonstrate the relevance of dolls’ house play to children’s everyday life and their roles as readers, players, and consumers. The first part of the thesis gives an overview of dolls’ houses in history, looking at dolls’ houses in museum collections throughout Europe, from the seventeenth-century Nuremberg houses to Queen Mary’s dolls’ house now on display at Windsor Castle. Part Two examines dolls’ house play as represented in and inspired by children’s books and children’s reading practices. Drawing from children’s magazines, toy-making guides, and picture books featuring dolls’ house making, furnishing, and playing, I argue that playing with dolls’ houses and making their own toys enabled children to balance work and play, labour and leisure. I also show how dolls’ house play was important in the period’s development of pedagogical theories, of a children’s book and toy market, and in the construction of children as consumers. Part Three explores works by Edith Nesbit, Beatrix Potter, and Frances Hodgson Burnett, alongside other non-canonical children’s fiction that makes the dolls’ house a setting for fantasies about miniature worlds. I discuss the dolls’ house as a perfect domestic household in miniature and an enchanting miniaturised spectacle and argue that imagination and play contribute to girls’ learning and negotiating with domestic roles and domestic space.

En studie av ämnen kopplade till relationer och interaktioner mellan barn och docka utfördes genom litteratursökningar och intervjuer med målgrupper. Utifrån slutsatser i studien utformades koncept, ämnade att kritisera idealiseringen av passivitet och skönhetsfokus som marknaden är präglad av. Ett koncept valdes ut och utvecklades vidare med hjälp av Kritiska designmetoder.This essay is a thesis in Product Design at Malmö University. The project uses Critical design theory to analyze the social norms that are connected to dolls for girls of ages 7-11. A study of topics related to relationships and interactions between children and dolls was conducted through literature searches and interviews with target audiences. Based on the conclusions of the study a design concept was created, intended to criticize the idealization of passivity and beauty by which the market is characterized. One concept was selected and further developed using Critical Design methods.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis advisor: Maia McAleaveyA time of rapid industrialization and burgeoning consumerism, the nineteenth century was full of things, a physical reality that is mirrored in the heavily material story worlds of Victorian literature. My dissertation investigates how objects do things in texts, exhibiting a mattered, agentic existence that decenters the human and proposes a materially-centered textual reality. In the writings of Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, and others, a particular set of objects-portraits, dresses, dolls, and letters-is characterized by their shared representation of the human body and the ways in which they act with, against, and independently of the characters they represent. These texts and objects emphasize the essential material components of textual realities and the ways in which objects have agency within the narrative to redefine the mattered framework of the text. The objects in this study operate on a spectrum of agency that emphasizes their role as active matter in their parent text. Going beyond the historical and cultural models that usually inform readings of things in Victorian literature, I investigate how these objects are active in upending the primacy of the human and constructing new assemblages of possibility and potentiality that cannot be accessed by the human alone. Each chapter traces the development of the agentic object in one or more texts as they reshape the structure of their fictional reality to allow objects to exist alongside with, rather than subservient to, their human creators and audiences. Acknowledging the ways in which things in texts have functioned historically and culturally in the nineteenth century, this dissertation examines how they operate textually, offering a differently centered narrative world that reimagines the role of objects as primary actors in constructing fictional realities

This thesis examines the Riot Grrrl bands of the 1990s, as well as Amanda Palmer today, as examples of feminist punk artists. Rather than focusing on Riot Grrrl as a unique musical episode, this thesis argues that all punk is activist in nature, and that Riot Grrrl was building on this activist tradition while challenging the misogyny implicit in punk culture. Likewise, Amanda Palmer uses similar punk strategies (such as a DIY approach to music production, and direct interaction with fans) to create political music.

Full textAbstract:
Assessments of allegations of sexual abuse of young children are being made based on investigative interviews with children using anatomically detailed dolls. These decisions are not based on a researched body of knowledge. This qualitative exploratory study involved interviewing fourteen, 3-5 year old children selected as likely to have a low risk of having been sexually abused using a model of the child sexual abuse investigative interview. It was found that the behaviours these children exhibited included those which are often of concern in regular assessments and may even be considered to be indicative of sexual abuse. The conceptual findings indicate that: 1) the anatomically detailed dolls appear to be a useful but not essential tool that should be used with considerable caution; 2) all such interviews should be video taped; 3) interviewers need to be knowledgable in the areas of child sexual abuse and child development. Further research is needed to establish the total range of investigative interview behaviours exhibited by nonabused children as well as to clarify what interview factors enhance and distort a child's presentation of a past history of child sexual abuse. Until this is accomplished the assumptions which are used to validate allegations of child sexual abuse will continue to fluctuate from interview to interview.Arts, Faculty of

Esta Dissertação de Mestrado surge da vontade de problematizar/agir/pensar diferente sobre bonecos e bonecas que historicamente fazem parte do brincar infantil. Apresento às crianças bonecos com “corpos diferentes” – negro, de óculos, gordo, cabelo liso, crespo, carapinha etc. Busco, com estes materiais, entender como as crianças operam com os conceitos de corpo, raça e gênero em suas brincadeiras. Inspiro-me em autores pós-estruturalistas e dos Estudos Culturais. Procuro traçar caminhos que cruzam as histórias das infâncias e das bonecas com os modos de ser sujeito infantil. Procuro, através das ‘coisas ditas’, por elas enunciadas, compor um corpus de pesquisa feito de palavras, frases, brincadeiras, ou seja, tento descrever as práticas discursivas que emergiram de nossas conversas para entender como se operavam tais conceitos. Observo como os modos de pensar sobre o se “ter um corpo” estão atrelados a um conjunto de discursos e verdades. Agir com as crianças e observá-las a agir sobre os brinquedos e as imagens proporcionaram a análise de um conjunto de discursos sobre os modos de constituir determinados objetos, neste caso, as/os bonecas/os, utilizadas/os, de certa maneira, para produzir infâncias.This Master Dissertation emerged from the intention to problematizing/think/act different about the dolls that historically belong to childhood’s play. I introduce, to the children, dolls with “different bodies” – such as black, wearing glasses, fat, straight hair, curled hair, crisp hair, etc. With these materials, I seek after understanding how the children handle with body concepts, race and gender, within their plays. I inspire myself on pos-structuralisms authors and also Cultural Studies. I look for tracing paths, which pass over childhood and dolls stories, as well as the way to be infantile. Through the way “said things” are announced, I seek after composing a corpus research made of words, sentences, entertainments, nevertheless, having to describe discursive practices that emerged from our conversations, in order to comprehend how certain concepts work. I observe the way of thinking about “having a body”, is tied to a set of discourses and truths. Act with children and observe them acting on toys and images provided analysis of a series of speeches on how to set up certain objects, in this case, the dolls, used in a way, to produce childhoods.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 137-145).Anti-discrimination, one of the central principles of South Africa's Constitution and Bill of Rights, is central to the Early Childhood Development curriculum. The anti-bias, or anti-discrimination, approach challenges prejudice and oppression of all kinds and aims to develop self-esteem, respect for diversity, awareness of human rights, and a sense of fairness in all children. This study examines the use of the Persona Doll Approach as a component of anti-bias practice in order to learn more about the approach, and about how it is used to engage with the realities of bias in the ECD phase of education in the South African context of poverty, and past and present discrimination. The study was conducted under the auspices of Persona Doll Training, South Africa (2003 - ). Four hundred and twenty Early Childhood Development, foundation phase and preschool teachers from different socio economic, rural and urban contexts in the Western Cape Province of South Africa, participated in the study. All of the teachers received Persona Doll Approach training, which they then applied in their classrooms. The study adopted a qualitative approach that included teacher questionnaires, observations, interviews and trainer reports, to gain an understanding of how the teachers used the Approach and what anti-bias understandings were reflected in their practice. Vignettes based on observations were constructed to illustrate the application of the Approach. They provide a vivid picture of the classroom situation and atmosphere. Four Anti-bias Goals: Identity and self-esteem, empathy, unlearning negative attitudes, and problem-posing/ activist approach provided the conceptual framework for the study. The findings indicate that the PDA training and subsequent classroom implementation led, to a greater or lesser extent, to improved self-esteem, empathy and the ability to challenge and unlearn discrimination among both the teachers and the children. Thus, the Anti-bias Goals were achieved, at least in the short term. There were also other, unexpected, outcomes. These included proactive activist work by some teachers, positive behaviour changes in children, the emergence of children's voices, and greater appreciation of children's voices by teachers. The study also highlighted teacher's and children's prejudices, and lack of support for teachers as challenges. Based on the findings, recommendations are made for the development of the PDA, and related training and teacher support, and for further research. The study confirms the value of the PDA approach and provides the motivation for continuing, and expanding, Persona Doll Training - South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Endosymbiosis has been a major driver of evolutionary diversification of eukaryotes. However, symbiosis can create conflict between partners and symbiont density is often tightly regulated within hosts to ensure optimal functioning of the holobiont. The horticultural pest insects, citrus mealybugs, make an intriguing and potentially-powerful case study for endosymbiosis, harbouring two obligate, nutritional, vertically transmitted bacteria: Tremblaya princeps and Moranella endobia, in a nested mutualism. In this thesis, I examine the variation in the density of each of these obligate symbionts in citrus mealybugs under controlled environmental conditions, using qPCR, as well as the diversity of facultative symbionts that infect the mealybugs using next-generation sequencing and conventional targeted PCR. Citrus mealybugs were found to harbour Wolbachia, Spiroplasma, Cardinium and Rickettsia, which have been found to impact the fitness of their hosts in other insect species, whereas long-tailed mealybugs were not found to harbour any of these bacteria, but the symbiont communities in both species were found to be dominated by their obligate symbionts. The density of the two obligate symbionts varied by up to six-fold between different populations kept under identical environmental conditions and a hybridisation experiment indicated that M. endobia and T. princeps density may be controlled by symbiont and host genotype respectively. However, symbiont density was not found to correlate with life-history traits in the laboratory, the ability of mealybugs to exploit different plant species, or the susceptibility of the mealybugs to insecticide and artificial reduction of symbiont density by heat-stress also had no effect on host fitness. Citrus mealybugs harbour seemingly superfluous symbionts with no clear fitness costs or benefits.

Full textAbstract:
Adult attitudes toward the Barbie dolls are ambivalent, with many saying they encourage a variety of undesirable tendencies. This paper looks at the dramatic play that actually occurs with the dolls, much of it involving the normal behavior that one would expect in children who are becoming enculturated through imitation of the adult behavior they see around them. But also common is play that most adults would think of as unconventional or deviant. To what extent are parents, particularly mothers, aware of this? How does this play relate to enculturation? Does it serve other functions? And what implications does it have for the age at which children should be given Barbies and the need for adult supervision or instruction of the children? This thesis describes the types of play engaged in and considers possible answers to the questions raised above.Department of Anthropology

A pesquisa apresentada nesta dissertação de mestrado investiga como as crianças de quatro e cinco anos de uma turma de Educação Infantil de uma Escola Municipal de Porto Alegre apresentam e constituem suas configurações familiares em suas brincadeiras. Através de uma perspectiva com inspiração pós-crítica e da metodologia de pesquisa com crianças, concebendo-as como sujeito ativo da investigação, como sugerem os estudos da criança, trato de pesquisar as concepções de família desta turma a partir das narrativas das crianças na interação com os bonecos-família. Faço uso deste tipo de brinquedo, bem como de desenho e fotografias tiradas pelas crianças, para mostrar como, através das brincadeiras com bonecos-família, essas constituem ou não outras configurações possíveis de se ter uma família, de ser família. Historicizo a organização da família e seu papel na cultura e sociedade através dos tempos para, através de sua história, tentar entender como as crianças constituem suas famílias hoje. Faço uso de autores como Almeida (2009), Christensen e James (2005), Tomás (2011) e Corsaro (2009), para tratar dos estudos sobre infâncias; Ariès (1978), Donzelot (2001), Roudinesco (2003) e Shorter (2005), para estudar a historicidade do conceito de família; Fernandes (2005), Filho (2011), Dornelles (2007; 2010), Dornelles e Lima (2014), para entender a organização da pesquisa com criança; e ao tratar do brincar e da brincadeira me apoio em Agamben (2005), Benjamin(1987), Brougère (2004), Marques (2013). Concluo, mesmo que provisoriamente, que as crianças continuam construindo modos nucleares de ser família em suas brincadeiras e que outras formas de constituições familiares são por elas, em grande parte das vezes, tratadas como incompletas, ilegítimas. Ao mesmo tempo, algumas crianças permitiram que essas novas configurações aparecessem e autorizaram seus usos nas brincadeiras de bonecos-família. A pesquisa pretendeu contribuir para problematizar os modos de ser família que atravessam as narrativas das crianças na pesquisa, bem como buscar um novo olhar e entendimento das novas configurações de famílias na contemporaneidade.The research presented in this Master’s Dissertation investigates how four- and-five-year-old children in a group of childhood education in a municipal school in Porto Alegre show and constitute their family settings in their play. From a post-critical perspective with inspiration and research methodology with children, conceiving them as an active research subject , as child studies have suggested, I try to investigate the family concept in this group, from the children’s narratives in interaction with family-dolls. I use this kind of toy, as well as drawing and photographs taken by the children to show how these are or are not other possible configurations for having/being a family, by playing with family-dolls. I historicize the family organization and role in culture and society through the ages to try to understand with its history, how children are their families today. I have drawn to writers like Almeida (2009), Christensen and James (2005), Thomas (2011) and Corsaro (2009), to address the childhood studies; Ariès (1978), Donzelot (2001), Roudinesco (2003) and Shorter (2005), to study the historicity of the family concept; Fernandes (2005), Filho (2011), Dornelles (2007; 2010), and Dornelles and Lima (2014), to understand how the research with children is organized; and dealing with playing I have drawn on Agamben (2005), Benjamin (1987), Brougère (2004) and Marques (2013). I conclude, although only temporarily, that children continue constructing nuclear ways of being a family in their playing and that other forms of family constitutions they render incomplete, illegitimate. At the same time, some children have allowed these new settings to appear and authorized their use in playing with family-dolls. The research aimed to help problematize the ways of being a family running through the children’s narratives in the research and find a new gaze and understanding of new families in contemporary times.

This text has as objectives to analyze the relationship between education and learning of female gender and the workmanship cultural doll; and to discuss the construction of the woman's self-conception and his/her relationship with the body starting from the memory and of the writing of itself. The text is structured in the following way: Introduction, where it presents the theme, the objectives, the problematization, justification and motivation, his/her relevance and contribution for the area of the Education and of the Cultural Studies, as well as the theoretical referential. In the first chapter, it elaborates an abbreviation history of the dolls and his/her influence in the women's from the childhood life through the adult phase. The second chapter describes the research in it action / intervention character, presenting the process of experience of the researcher's teaching in classroom and this space as locus of the research, as well as the experience of the doll’s workshop that have been accomplished there. Finally, the third chapter consists on the analyses of the documents that had been apprehended along the research. In that way, the applied methodology consisted of collecting the researched participants' descriptive and narrative texts, as well as to accomplish with the same ones a doll’s workshop in which they could set up a doll and they introduced her/it in the intention of uttering a self-conception through of that object. The results obtained with the research indicate that not just the doll as an object, but an entire system of institutions and social groups, mainly the family, they have important and decisive participation in that learning of female gender guiding the girls how to become women and the women ideal behavior, reinforcing with this an ideology of how a woman has to be and how a woman has to act.
Este texto tem como objetivos analisar a relação entre educação e aprendizagem de gênero feminino e o artefato cultural boneca; e discutir a construção da autoimagem da mulher e sua relação com o corpo a partir da memória e da escrita de si. O texto estrutura-se da seguinte forma: Introdução, onde apresenta o tema, os objetivos, a problematização, justificativa e motivação, sua relevância e contribuição para a área da Educação e dos Estudos Culturais, assim como o referencial teórico. No primeiro capítulo, elabora uma breve história das bonecas e sua influência na vida das mulheres da infância até a fase adulta. O segundo capítulo descreve a pesquisa no seu caráter de ação/intervenção, relatando o processo de experiência de docência da pesquisadora em sala de aula e esta como lócus da pesquisa, como também a experiência da oficina de bonecas aí realizada. Por fim, o terceiro capítulo traz as análises dos documentos apreendidos. Dessa forma, a metodologia aplicada consistiu em coletar textos descritivos e narrativos das participantes pesquisadas, como também realizar com as mesmas uma oficina de bonecas na qual elas montaram uma boneca e a apresentaram no intuito de exteriorizar uma autoimagem através desse objeto. Os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa indicam que não apenas o objeto boneca, mas toda uma rede de instituições e grupos sociais, principalmente a família, têm importante e decisiva participação nessa aprendizagem de gênero feminino direcionando as meninas a serem mulheres e como uma mulher deve se comportar, reforçando assim uma ideologia de ser e como ser mulher.

Full textAbstract:
This multi-case ethnographic study examined the gender beliefs of two teachers and 12 parents and the gender identity of thirty 8-10 year old boys in two primary schools in Jamaica. The study was conducted against the background of gross underachievement among Jamaican boys and the research literature pointing to gender socialization as a factor in the declining results and interest in academic studies. Through 10 weeks of observations, interviews and focus group discussions answers were sought for the following questions:
1. What beliefs do teachers hold about gender?
2. What beliefs do parents hold about gender?
3. What are boys' perceptions of their gender identity?
From the data collected it was revealed that teachers' expressed beliefs was not always consistent with their classroom practices; teachers traditional methods even though recognising that girls and boys have different learning styles; boys arrived at school far less prepared to work than girls; they were more likely to be off task than were girls; they identified strongly and early with traditional masculinity in the process devaluing anything feminine; parents, particularly mothers felt powerless to change the attitudes of boys towards school work; they allow their boys far more latitude to play at home and in many instances failed to help them develop a sense of responsibility. Parents held traditional gender beliefs guided mostly by religious teachings. In the matter of careers however, they were prepared to allow their sons to work in traditional female careers.
The findings suggest the need for a radical redefinition of what it means to be masculinity, one which will allow boys to embrace feminine values and attitudes. The central education authorities in Jamaica need a clear gender policy for schools; schools need to work closer with parents for a greater level of consistency in the socialization of boys.
Finally, teacher preparation programmes need to pay more than lip service to gender in the education process. Teachers in training need to understand that their socialization practices are driven by their beliefs and impact the development of boys and girls' identities.

It is through their pottery dolls that Karajá women (self-named In ) convey the picture their people have of themselves and their identity. By modelling clay, they take on an important role on the legitimation of the “Karajá way of being”, creating and recreating the meanings that support their world perspective, besides cultural and ethnic identity. This paper’s objective is to reflect upon the registration of these pottery dolls as a Brazilian cultural heritage (by the Artistic and Historical Heritage National Institute – IPHAN), having these potter women’s conceptions and practices as a central object in this process. Thus, I bring some thoughts on some agencies and people’s actions in the aforementioned process; on the recognition they have been seeking for as an instrument of dissemination and valuation of the potters’ knowledge and work, on the circulation of the dolls/ritxoko as a possibility for network widening and political strengthening, on the appropriation of the institutional discourse and its re-elaboration from an ethnicpolitical point of view, and on the feminine political protagonism that emerges from these potters’ work and craft.
Através de suas bonecas de cerâmica as mulheres Karajá expressam a imagem que o seu povo (que se autodenominam de In ) tem de si próprio, de seu universo cultural e de sua identidade. Por meio da arte de modelar o barro, elas assumem um papel importante na legitimação do modo de “ser Karajá”, criando e recriando os significados que dão sustentação à sua visão de mundo e à sua identidade étnica e cultural. O objetivo desta pesquisa é refletir sobre o registro das bonecas de cerâmica confeccionadas pelas mulheres Karajá da região do Araguaia, como patrimônio cultural brasileiro (pelo Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN), tomando como objeto central as concepções e práticas das mulheres ceramistas sobre o assunto. Assim, trago algumas reflexões acerca da atuação de agências e pessoas-chave no processo mencionado; do referido reconhecimento como instrumento de divulgação e valorização do saber e do trabalho das ceramistas; da circulação das ritxoko/bonecas como possibilidade de ampliação de redes e de fortalecimento político; da apropriação dos discursos institucionais e reelaboração dos mesmos a partir de um ponto de vista etnopolítico, bem como do protagonismo feminino que emerge através do ofício e do trabalho das ceramistas.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis intends to answers these questions: What did “curiosity” mean in the nineteenth century, and how do Charlotte Brontë's four major works represent such curiosity? How were women looked at, formulated, and situated under the nineteenth-century curious gaze? In order to answer these questions, this thesis examines Brontë's works by juxtaposing them with nineteenth-century exhibitions. Four chapters are thus dedicated to this study: in each a type of exhibition is contemplated, and in each the definition of “curiosity” is defined through the discussions of boundary-breaking. The first chapter discusses the metaphors of “cabinets of curiosities” throughout Brontë's texts. The most intimate and enclosed spaces occupied by women and / or their objects—attics, desks, drawers, lockets—are searched in order to reveal the secret relationship between Brontë's heroines and the objects they have hidden away, especially the souvenirs. From cabinets of curiosities the thesis moves to another space in which the mechanism of curiosity and display takes place—the garden. The second chapter thus discusses the supposed antithesis between the innocent and the experienced, between the Power of Nature and the Power of Man, by reading the garden imagery in Brontë's works along with nineteenth-century pleasure gardens and the Wardian case. The imagery of Eve is also taken into consideration to discuss the concept of innocence. In the third chapter, metaphors of waxworks and the Pygmalion myth are applied to discuss the image of women's bodies in Brontë's texts, and the boundary between the living body and the non-living statue is seen as blurred. In the final chapter, dolls' houses and their metaphors in Brontë's works are examined in order to explicate Brontë's concept of “home,” and the dolls' house thus poses a question on the relationships between the interior and the exterior, the gigantic and the miniature, and the domestic and the public spaces.

Nesta dissertação apresentamos uma sequência de atividades não tradicionais, com foco no ensino e na aprendizagem de Geometria, em particular no que se refere às Isometrias no Plano, elaboradas para alunos de Ensino Fundamental, e o resultado de sua aplicação a oito turmas de 9o ano, como forma de desenvolver habilidades de raciocínio desses alunos. Utilizamos para esse experimento o Design Experiment, experimento de ensino fundamentado no aprimoramento contínuo, e a teoria de Van Hiele baseada na tese de doutorado de Adela Jaime-Pastor (1993), com uma série de atividades elaboradas e aplicadas pela professora/pesquisadora envolvendo as translações e as reflexões, através das fases de aprendizagem e níveis de raciocínio que os alunos desenvolvem com a aplicação dessa teoria. Esse experimento foi dividido em dois momentos, aplicação com quatro turmas de 9o ano em 2015 e aplicação com outras quatro turmas de 9o ano em 2016, subdivididos em outras duas situações, atividades sobre translações e atividades sobre reflexões. Os dados desse experimento foram obtidos através das produções dos alunos, que trabalharam em duplas, em sala de aula, registrados por meio de fotos, vídeos e áudios gravados pela própria pesquisadora. Também utilizamos as bonecas de papel de Brigitte Servatius (1997), com as quais foram trabalhadas translações e reflexões. Os alunos participantes do experimento finalizaram-no com noções sólidas das características das isometrias e um visível progresso em seu nível de conhecimento. A forma como as atividades foram realizadas trouxeram reflexos na rotina desses estudantes em sala de aula, tornando evidente que a busca por situações que despertem o interesse dos alunos de forma inovadora pode gerar melhores resultados e a motivação de uma contínua aprendizagem.In this dissertation we present a sequence of non-traditional activities, focusing on the teaching and learning of Geometry, in particular regarding the Isometrics in the Plan, elaborated for elementary school students, and the result of its application to eight classes of 9th grade , As a way to develop students\' reasoning skills. We used for this experiment the Design Experiment, a teaching experiment based on continuous improvement, and Van Hiele\'s theory based on Adela Jaime-Pastor\'s (1993) doctoral thesis, with a series of activities elaborated and applied by the teacher/researcher involving the translations and the reflections, through the phases of learning and levels of reasoning that the students develop with the application of this theory. This experiment was divided in two moments, application with four classes of 9th grade in 2015 and application with four other groups of 9th grade in 2016, subdivided into two other situations, activities on translations and activities on reflections. The data of this experiment were obtained through the productions of the students, who worked in doubles, in the classroom, recorded through photos, videos and audios recorded by the researcher herself. We also used the paper dolls of Brigitte Servatius (1997), with which we worked on translations and reflections. The students participating in the experiment finalized it with solid notions of the characteristics of the isometries and a visible progress in their level of knowledge. The way the activities were carried out brought reflexes to the routine of these students in the classroom, making it evident that the search for situations that arouse the students\' interest in an innovative way can generate better results and the motivation of continuous learning.
