Full textAs a hybrid religion, Umbanda has elements of different sources in its daily practices. Thus, it doesn t have, necessarily, a single and centralized doctrine, in spite of several leaders had tried to impose a unified doctrine to it. That was one of the roles of several Umbanda Federations during the 20th century. Another role was to protect the shrines against the persecutions and repressions made by the State, Catholicism and the press. Therefore, the federations tried to protect the shrines and, on the other hand, they tried to control and centralize the religion, in its doctrines and socially. In the state of Goiás such control was held by the Umbanda and Candomblé Federation of Goiás, established in 1969 in Goiânia City. This dissertation, therefore, has as main objective to analyze the path of the religion in Goiânia, focusing its origins; the action of the Federation; as well as the conflicts and tensions created between it, the State repressive apparels and the shrines, from 1948 until 2003, when Goiânia was the scenario of a public repudiation of Umbanda, by some neo-Pentecostal churches against the exposition of seven sculptures depicting Orixás in a park of the city, which is known as Vaca-Brava Episode
Como religião híbrida, a Umbanda agrega elementos de diferentes matrizes religiosas em sua prática diária. Isto faz com que ela não tenha, necessariamente, uma doutrina única e centralizada, apesar de vários líderes já terem tentado impor a ela uma doutrina unificada. Este foi um dos papéis das várias Federações de Umbanda surgidas no Brasil ao longo do século XX. A outra função seria a de proteger os terreiros contra as perseguições e repressões por eles sofridas, por parte do Estado, do catolicismo e da imprensa. Assim, enquanto de um lado as federações tentavam proteger aos terreiros, de outro elas mesmas exerciam um controle e buscavam centralizar a religião, tanto social quanto doutrinariamente. Em Goiás tal poder foi exercido pela Federação de Umbanda e Candomblé de Goiás, surgida em 1969 na cidade de Goiânia. Nosso trabalho, portanto, tem por objetivo analisar a trajetória da religião em Goiânia, tendo como foco suas origens, a ação da Federação, os conflitos e tensões criados entre ela, os aparelhos repressores do Estado e o terreiros, entre os anos de 1948 e de 2003, quando Goiânia foi palco de uma manifestação pública de repúdio à Umbanda, protagonizada por algumas igrejas neo-pentecostais ao protestarem contra uma exposição de vários Orixás em um parque da cidade, caso que ficou conhecido como Episódio Vaca-Brava

Full textAlejandro Lopez Andrada, a poet, novelist and essayist from the "generation of sons" as Juan Vila calls it, traces the lost or disappearing past of his native Andalusia.His prose is notable for its elegiac character and despite the generic diversity that characterises his works, they all express a feeling of nostalgia.This study aims to present, in the first instance, the narrative voice that is expressed in the chosen corpus as well as the subjectivity that defines it, and, secondly, the expression of this nostalgia through the exaltation of childhood, in which the representation of the Andalusian homeland is enshrined. Finally, the last part of this work is devoted to the Christian humanism that emerges from the texts, which reflect the author's own personal faith. This particularly manifests itself in the expression of love of the Other, in the demand for the values and way of life which hark back to the author's childhood and by the weight given to the importance of religion in all his work

Full textThis research project examines the representation of the experience of extreme violence in the contemporary fictional space of Sub-Saharan Francophone Africa. The numerous works of prose fiction written in the wake of the armed conflicts of the 1990s and the Rwandan genocide raise questions related to the representation of pain, cruelty and death as well as to the ethics of art. How do literary texts put into narrative traumatic events? How do writers think and problematize extreme crises of immediate history? By the means of what literary modalities are these crises constituted into an object of knowledge and awareness? And what esthetic and language strategies have been privileged to convey the memory of the atrocities in order toprovide testimony or aim at critical reflection? This thesis explores the writing of the collective tragedies that, from a historical and socio-cultural perspective, mark the start of a new period of violence in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, we are focusing predominantly on texts that are characterized – through the distinctive choices of form and style operated by the authors – by a radicalization of discourse and particularly violent plots and esthetics. This research which interrogates the powers and the possible limits of art in the representation of facts of extreme violence analyses an extensive corpus of novels and short stories published between 1998 and 2010 and suggests a multidisciplinary approach which, next to literary and esthetic theories, draws on history, sociology, anthropology and psychiatry
Ramugondo, Elelwani. "Intergenerational shifts and continuities in children's play within a rural Venda family in the early 20th and 21st centuries." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12113.
Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 235-252).
This research involved studying the childhood play of three generations within one family based in the Venda region, Limpopo Province, South Africa. Two main questions were asked: 1. What is the nature of intergenerational shifts or continuities in children?s play within one Venda family? 2. What are the factors that bring about the shifts or continuities? The Gudani family was studied as a single case. The case study was approached with an understanding proposed by Stake (1998, 2008) and supported by others like Flyvbjerg (2006), who regard it not always a research method, but also the object of study. Handling the family as a bounded system, information was gathered from multiple sources, situating the case within its context. Interviews were conducted with a grandparent, the parents and children in order to gain an understanding of their childhood play, foregrounding participants' own view of what constitutes play. In addition, an ethnographic lens was used to investigate the third generation's everyday culture, with specific attention to their play.
Ortega, Selena. "Chavez Ravine and Boyle Heights| 20th and 21st Century Displacement of Mexican Communities." Thesis, California State University, Los Angeles, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10245743.
Full textThis study examines and analyzes displacement, under the guise of redevelopment, in urban Mexican communities in Los Angeles-- Chávez Ravine (1944-1959) and Boyle Heights (2000-2015). This investigation also chronicles and interprets the urban renewal process as a systematic attack on the Mexican working- class and disenfranchisement of their communities. This analysis presents qualitative evidence to show the individual impacts associated with involuntary displacement. Furthermore these cases of displacement blocked the economic mobility of displaced residents of Chávez Ravine and Boyle Heights and the impact extends beyond those directly displaced. Beyond gentrification, a review of these cases, within approximately seven decades of displacement patterns, reveal the broader politics of contesting Mexican social and economic status in Los Angeles. Redevelopment maintains an economic and social order that intergenerationally disadvantages Mexican populations.

Full textThis thesis includes a compilation of four publications with a long-term perspective on the mechanisms of social reproduction and the general trends of socioeconomic inequality in the Barcelona area between the fifteenth and the nineteenth centuries. The familial mechanisms of social reproduction encompass economic, institutional, legal, political, and/or cultural mechanisms for maintaining, improving, and / or transmitting the acquired or inherited social positions or tangible and intangible assets. Such mechanisms are channeled through family influence by two main means, the intergenerational transmission or social mobility (from ancestors to descendants) and the intragenerational social mobility (of an individual throughout his / her life cycle). In this sense, social reproduction is interrelated with the levels of socioeconomic inequality existing in different historical contexts. The data used in this thesis was provided by the Barcelona Historical Database of Marriage (1481-1880) and the Sant Feliu de Llobregat Longituinal Demographic Database (1828-1940), both developed within the projects el ‘Five Centuries of Marriages’ y ‘Tecnología e innovación ciudadana en la construcción de redes sociales históricas para la comprensión del legado demográfico’ (XARXES) respectively. Among the most important findings in this thesis it can be concluded that the peindustrial intergenerational transmission of social status was indeed high, especially among peasants and artisans and mainly for the first children as would be expected in an Old Regime society based on an inheritance with the principle of impartibility. However, despite the fact that the hereditary system by definition was based on the inequality between siblings, there was not downward social mobility of non-heir brothers and sisters. In fact, non-heir females used to marry out the social group as a strategy, a fact that reinforces the importance of the family unit of the “casa” (house) in the Catalan agricultural societies as historiography pointed out. Nevertheless, during the industrialisation era, there are evidences pointing out that the single-heir inheritance system declined, due to a major social progression of non-heir siblings than heirs within the new occupational opportunities emerged. Accordingly, the influence of family in the social fate of descendants decreased over time but did not vanish, in contrast to what was argued by classical theories as the Modernization one, which also can be interpreted by the importance of the family strong ties in Southern European countries. Regarding the economic inequality, the long term estimation conducted across four centuries in an extensive geographic zone as the Barcelona area showed that inequality was indeed higher on preindustrial societies than in the industrial period. The reason for this would seem to be the preindustrial ordered social structure contributing to a more unequal society than the industrial one based on skilled and unskilled occupations. However, industrialisation brought about a new situation, where likely processes of proletarianization induced a new kind of inequality. Finally, the last conclusion refers to the interrelation between the role played by families and the economic inequality, which has been seen in this thesis that although the family importance in social reproduction, the social barriers between social classes were never broken throughout five centuries, an element that may be linked to the present concern about the decrease in social mobility in our societies.

Full textThis thesis is centered around three primary literary focuses: environmental studies, Arctic studies, and travel writing. Essentially, the subject to be treated is the ethical responsibilities of an outsider when entering into an isolated region such as Alaska, with its extraordinary demographic diversity and unique biomes, particularly when discussing environmental issues, which are very often at the forefront of conversation in “modern” travel writing.As for parameters, “modern” is in quotations as the term is inherently subjective. The modern Alaska timeframe could be set up in numerous ways, including this millennium, with its shift into climate change and animal rights discussions, but two other dates are more trenchant: 1977 when the first oil flowed from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Coast latitudinally southward to Valdez on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, and 1959 when Alaska officially became the 49th US state. The latter date was chosen, as the former was merely the culmination of a long process that had already upended the state’s identity of itself, including the arrival of ostensibly endless flows of money into government coffers.Furthermore, six primary works were chosen, from 1959 to the present moment, with an eye toward diversity: of interests, of demographics, of chronology, of geography, and of style. The works are Peter Matthiessen’s Oomingmak: The Expedition to Musk Ox Island in the Bering Sea (1967); John McPhee’s Coming into the Country: Travels in Alaska (1977); Barry Lopez’ Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986); Tom Lowenstein’s Ancient Land, Sacred Whale: The Inuit Hunt and its Rituals (1993); Jonathan Raban’s Passage to Juneau: A Sea and its Meanings (1999); and Nancy Lord’s Beluga Days: Tracking a White Whale’s Truths (2003). These six works explore geographic and demographic ranges from the Northwest Arctic coast of Iñupiat culture, Southwest Alaska of the Yup’ik, Cook Inlet and Anchorage Bowl Urban Native and Dena’ina culture, Interior Alaska Athabaskan culture, and Southeast Alaska Tlingit and Haida culture.The thesis is ordered into three parts: a historiography framing the current political and cultural moment in the state; a direct literary analysis of the primary works, broken up into themes discussed therein; and a prescriptive application informed by the current meta-discussion taking place in environmental studies

Full textEsta tesis evalúa si el incremento en los recursos socioeconómicos de mujeres y hombres y la distribución del trabajo dentro de la pareja afectan a la estabilidad de la unión. Por un lado, investiga la satisfacción individual con la pareja, investigando las diferencias en las percepciones de la calidad de la relación. Por otro lado, estudia la estabilidad de la relación, centrándose en el riesgo de separación en el tiempo y diferenciando entre parejas que cohabitan y parejas que se casan. En concreto, analiza los factores que pueden incidir en la estabilidad y comprueba si sus efectos difieren por tipo de pareja desde una perspectiva individual (diferenciando entre hombres y mujeres) y desde una perspectiva de pareja. Los resultados de los análisis parecen indicar que la naturaleza del matrimonio es diferente de la naturaleza de la cohabitación y que los cohabitantes son más vulnerables a las condiciones negativas, tanto internas como externas, a las que tienen que hacer frente las parejas. Por último, esta tesis demuestra que es importante, si es posible, tener en cuenta la información de los dos miembros de la pareja.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study of four contemporary Chilean composers from the second half of the 20th century and beginning of 21st century who developed their careers in the ‘euro-latin-american’ space (Cirilo Vila, Sergio Ortega, Patricio Wang, and Andrés González), and whose generational intersections allow to cover half a century of music. The first part of the thesis presents a brief panorama of Chilean concert music, from the independence of the country at the beginning of the 19th century until our days. The survey emphasizes the process of institutionalization of the musical life, as well as the implicit or explicit discurses, which are presented regarding the national cultural identity in relation to music. The second part analyzes in detail, through a biographical approach, the transnational trajectories of the four composers under study. The aim is to understand, among other aspects, how the processes of cultural change work at the level of a given artistic life. The third part, attempts to elucidate 1. the specificity of Chilean musicians through a multifactorial approach, presenting a series of studies towards analyzing the role of cultural transmitter performed by Chilean composers (within their double function as pedagogues and translators of exogenous languages); 2. the impact of the international circulation and the globalization on their works; 3. the links between music and politics as well as the links between high and popular art; 4. the role of France and Europe in the processes of acculturation; 5. the results of cultural hybridization (through concrete cases), and finally, 6. a typology of the ways of sonic appropriation

Full textLa colección de narrativa erótica «La sonrisa vertical» (Barcelona: Tusquets Editores) nació en plena transición democrática, en 1977, de la mano de Luis García Berlanga y Beatriz de Moura, con un doble propósito: rescatar un género literario hasta aquel momento censurado por las leyes franquistas y apostar por la narrativa de jóvenes autores, tanto en lengua catalana como española. El interés de una colección de estas características no es exclusivamente literario, ya que, dada la época turbulenta en que se gestó y la apuesta ideológica de la editorial, albergó volúmenes con una notable voluntad de ruptura política y moral. En este sentido, no escasearon las representaciones de personajes con sexualidades heterodoxas, entre las cuales, dada la legislación vigente (Ley de Peligrosidad y Rehabilitación Social), bien podrían incluirse las de lesbianas, gais y personas trans. Esta tesis doctoral pretende ofrecer un análisis de las muy diversas creaciones de autores españoles e hispanoamericanos que, en especial, favorecieron la representación de personajes lésbicos entre 1977 y 2014 con el objetivo de valorar su entidad literaria y su relevancia histórica y social.
The collection of erotic narrative «La sonrisa vertical» (Barcelona: Tusquets Editores) was born in full democratic transition, in 1977, it was created by Luis García Berlanga and Beatriz de Moura, with a double purpose: a genre up to that moment censored by the laws rescuing Francoists and betting on the narrative of young authors, both in Catalan and Spanish. The interest of a collection of these characteristics is not exclusively literary, since, the turbulent period in which it was gestated and the ideological bet of the publishing company, lodged volumes with a remarkable will of political and moral breach. In this sense, the representations of characters with heterodox sexualities were not scarce, among which, given the current legislation (Law of Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation), well those of lesbians, gays and people could be included trans. This Ph. D. dissertation intends to offer an analysis of the very different creations of Spanish and Latin American authors who, especially, favoured the representation of lesbian characters between 1977 and 2014 with the aim of valuing their literary entity and their historical and social relevance.
