Resumo: Os usos de sistemas apostilados privados de ensino nos municípios do estado de São Paulo compõem um quadro significativo da interferência do mercado na Educação. A entrada desses materiais nos municípios paulistas trouxe uma dinâmica diferenciada para as salas de aula, interferindo na identidade do professor, assim como na estruturação dos conhecimentos escolares, pois não abrem espaço para particularidades. Tal estruturação interfere diretamente na constituição dos currículos. A disciplina escolar Ciências, presente no Ensino Fundamental, é focalizada nessa pesquisa, em que professores foram entrevistados e narraram suas práticas docentes frente ao uso dos sistemas apostilados. Memórias dos professores frente ao uso desses materiais são apresentadas em um conjunto de mônadas benjaminianas que compõem um universo de possibilidades sobre identidades docentes marcadas pelo controle externo. Os sistemas apostilados privados de ensino diluem autonomia e fragmentam identidades docentes, expondo um novo momento da Educação pública em âmbito municipal
Abstract: The use of private handouts in the teaching throughout the cities of São Paulo state represents a significant interference in the Education market. The adoption of such materials in the municipalities of São Paulo state brought a different dynamic to the classrooms, which interferes in the teacher¿s identity as well as in the structuring of schooling expertise because it does not provide room for specificities. Such structuring directly interferes in the makings of curricula. The Sciences subject, present in all first grades is the focus of this research, when teachers were surveyed and described their teaching practices against the use of handout systems. The memories of the mentioned teachers about the use of such materials are presented in a set of benjaminian monads, which comprise a universe of possibilities about teaching identities under external control. The private system of handouts in the teaching area dilute the autonomy and fragment teaching identities exposing a new moment in the public Education on a municipal basis

My goal in this dissertation is to analyze the question, why is co-location a problem for the metaphysics of material objects? I believe that the existing literature on the topic identifies three possible answers to this question: Either, (i) co-location is a problem because it violates the no-coincidence principle, or because (ii) co-location violates the claim that the best available explanation for the relationship between objects that share the same empirically discriminable properties is the relationship of numerical identity, or finally because (iii) co-location violates the thesis of microphysical determination. I argue that (i), (ii), and (iii) are not sufficient reasons to think that co-location is metaphysically problematic, and that a denial of these assumptions does not warrant a rejection of co-location. I maintain that, instead, if co-location is a problem, it is so in virtue of violating a more basic assumption. Co-location is a problem for the view that the individuation and persistence conditions of any given material object is completely and solely determined by the physical or material properties of such an object. I advance reasons to believe that the latter view is fundamental in the sense that (i), (ii), and (iii), are consequences of it, and that co-location is in conflict with (i), (ii) and (iii), because it questions the basic physicalist view that provides the conditions for (i), (ii), and (iii). The fact that (i), (ii) and (iii) depend on the belief that physical properties exhaust the individuation and persistence of material objects, explains why they are not good reasons against co-location: They cannot establish that co-location is a problem for an account of material objects because they depend on the belief that co-location denies. Therefore, (i), (ii), and (iii) provide no more than three different ways of begging the question against co-location. I argue that, in order to show that co-location is a problem, we must show that physicalism with respect to material objects is the correct, or at least the most plausible, metaphysics of material objects, and this is something that neither (i), (ii), or (iii) can show. This statement of the relationship between co-location and anti-colocation reasons is also a contribution to the discussion of co-location.

Consumption plays an important role in the construction of identities and one of the main ways to express and define the members of a group is through the shared consumption symbols. The dress can be understood as a reflection of the identity of the individual to reflect rules and roles that peopleplay in the dynamics of social life. Thus, the consumption of products and services related to clothing in this work is presented in its role to build personal and collective meanings, establish and highlight cultural categories, being the focus of this study, maternal identity. Motherhood, rather than a biological event, is a social phenomenon that carries cultural and ideological pictures, the maternal identity constructed from the time when the woman is seen inserted in the new maternity context that may occur through experiences consumption. During pregnancy, the dress mode is naturally modified by new modifications of the body, making it necessary choices for new clothes. The symbolic consumption and consequently the meanings culturally constituted and assigned to goods has as intrinsic characteristic concern insertion in social groups. In addition, there is also a concern to keep and represent their images and identities to consume products that are consistent with their respective personalities and that could best represent them. In this way, the aim of this study was to analyze how the meanings attributed to clothing assist women in the construction of maternal identity. To achieve this purpose were carried 10 in-depth interviews with women who had become mothers in the last 24 months. The main results showed that the clothes are transmitters of communication and definition of this new identity to the woman, still occurring in the liminal period or just after birth. The choice of clothing in the post-liminal period is ruled on several matters, the most recurrent being the issue of social norms imposed on what is considered an ideal mother and what she should dress. Beyond this social issue, the changes in the body and the body perception of women are seen as an influencer for change of clothes in the post-liminal period. The stripping ritual, which takes place at this stage of the rite of passage, is closely linked to the issue of the body as it characterizes the need that women see in clear meanings attributed to an outfit that used during pregnancy.It can be seen that despite the construction of maternal identity be demarcated at different times as the discovery of pregnancy, purchasing products, the changes of the body or through the birth, it is important to emphasize that only through the daily ritual activities that symbolic changes are reinforced
O consumo desempenha um papel importante na constru??o das identidades e uma das principais formas de se expressar e definir os membros de um grupo ? atrav?s dos s?mbolos de consumo partilhados. O vestu?rio pode ser entendido como um reflexo da identidade do indiv?duo ao refletir regras e pap?is que os indiv?duos desempenham na din?mica da vida social. Assim, o consumo dos produtos e servi?os relacionados ao vestu?rio, neste trabalho, se apresenta em seu papel de construir significados pessoais e coletivos, estabelecer e evidenciar categorias culturais, sendo foco da presente pesquisa, a identidade materna. A maternidade, mais do que um evento biol?gico, constitui um fen?meno social, que carrega imagens culturais e ideol?gicas, sendo a identidade materna constru?da a partir do momento em que a mulher se v? inserida no novo contexto da maternidade, que pode ocorrer atrav?s das experi?ncias de consumo. Durante a gesta??o e ap?s o nascimento do beb?, o modo de se vestir ? naturalmente modificado devido ?s transforma??es do corpo, tornando-se necess?rio as escolhas por novas roupas. O consumo simb?lico das roupas e consequentemente os significados culturalmente constitu?dos e atribu?dos aos bens t?m como caracter?stica intr?nseca a preocupa??o de inser??o em grupos sociais. Al?m disso, existe tamb?m uma preocupa??o em manter e representar as suas imagens ou identidades ao consumir produtos que condizem com as suas respectivas personalidades e que possam melhor represent?-los. Desta forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar como os significados atribu?dos ao vestu?rio auxiliam as mulheres na constru??o da identidade materna. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, foram realizadas 10 entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres que se tornaram m?es nos ?ltimos 24 meses. Os principais resultados mostraram que as roupas s?o transmissoras de comunica??o e defini??o desta nova identidade ? mulher, ocorrendo ainda no per?odo liminar ou somente ap?s o nascimento do beb?. A escolha do vestu?rio, no per?odo p?s-liminar, ? pautada em diversas quest?es, sendo a mais recidivante a quest?o da normatiza??o social impostas ao que se considera uma m?e ideal e ao que ela deve vestir. Al?m desta quest?o social, as modifica??es no corpo e a percep??o corporal das mulheres s?o vistas como um influenciador para a mudan?a das roupas no per?odo p?s-liminar. O ritual de despojamento, que ocorre nesta fase do rito de passagem, est? intimamente ligado ? quest?o do corpo, pois caracteriza a necessidade que as mulheres veem em apagar significados atribu?dos a uma roupa que usou durante a gesta??o. Percebeu-se assim que apesar da constru??o da identidade materna ser demarcada em diferentes momentos como o da descoberta da gravidez, da aquisi??o de produtos, das mudan?as do corpo ou atrav?s do parto, ? importante ressaltar que somente atrav?s das atividades rituais di?rias que as mudan?as simb?licas s?o refor?adas

This dissertation focuses on the human experience during enslavement in nineteenth-century Puerto Rico, one of the last three localities to outlaw the institution of slavery in the Americas. It reviews the history of slavery and the plantation economy in the Caribbean and how the different European regimes regulated slavery in the region. It also provides a literature review on archaeological research carried out in plantation contexts throughout the Caribbean and their findings. The case study for this investigation was Hacienda La Esperanza, a nineteenth-century sugar plantation in the municipality of Manatí, on the north coast of the island. The history of the Manatí Region is also presented. La Esperanza housed one of the largest enslaved populations in Puerto Rico as documented by the slave census of 1870 which registered 152 slaves. The examination of the plantation was accomplished through the implementation of an interdisciplinary approach that combined archival research, field archaeology, anthropological interpretations of ‘material culture’, and geochemical analyses (phosphates, magnetic susceptibility, and organic matter content as determined by loss on ignition). Historical documents were referenced to obtain information on the inhabitants of the site as well as to learn how they handled the path to abolition. Archaeological fieldwork focused on controlled excavations on four different loci on the site. The assemblages recovered during three field seasons of archaeological excavations served to examine the material culture of the enslaved and to document some of their unwritten experiences. The study of the material culture of Hacienda La Esperanza was conducted through the application of John C. Barrett’s understanding of Anthony Giddens’ theory of structuration, Douglas Armstrong’s cultural transformation model, and Paul R. Mullins’ notions of consumerism and identity. Research results showed that the enslaved individuals of Hacienda La Esperanza were active yet highly restricted participants and consumers of the local market economy. Their limited market participation is evidence of their successful efforts to exert their agency and bypass the administration’s control. As such, this dissertation demonstrates that material life, even under enslavement, provides a record of agency and resistance. The discussion also addressed the topics of social stratification and identity.

CAPES
In the last decades, patriarchal family models have shown a significant reduction in occurrences in Brazil, whereas single-parent family arrangements composed of women's exclusive leadership show constant growth (IBGE, 2015; LEONE et al., 2010; COSTA & MARRA, 2013; SCHIMANSKI & PEREIRA, 2013). Thus, changes in consumer practices during the family cycle offer a broader universe for consumer studies in the national context (CASSOTI & SUAREZ, 2015). It is in this sense that goods have the capacity to function as a path to the creation of a family identity, evidencing the interactions and reformulations that exist in the family (EPP & PRICE, 2008, COMMURY & GENTRY, 2000, MILLER, 2010). Therefore, the present research sought to investigate how the woman of the family who becomes a single parent uses the material culture to minimize and face the effects caused by the separation or death of the spouse during the construction of the identity of the female single parent family. Data collection was done through an in-depth interview with 12 female heads of single-parent families living in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro (MCCRAKEN, 1988). As a basic requirement to be interviewed, women should have assumed the responsibility of family in the last 7 years, a period of time in which the process of restructuring after divorce or death takes place (BURNS & DONALD 1980, Commury & Gentry 2000). The data collected were analyzed through content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). In this sense, comparing the results obtained and relating them to the family identity construction scheme proposed by Epp & Price (2008), the present study seems to point out that the construction of a single-parent family identity occurs exactly through thrusters such as; Marital disruption, a new form of leadership, greater integration among members, and limited family budget. In view of this, all these attributes are determinants in the forms of relation between family and materiality, because they stipulate the levels of intensity of this dialectical interaction. These forms of use, meaning, and interactions between individuals and goods seem to create two family stereotypes. The first was called a renewed family, which includes the units with the greatest flexibility to insert changes, both in the acquired assets and in the forms of negotiations and participation in the decision-making process. The second group corresponded to the gradual families, which were less prone to drastic changes in relation to the customs and consumption of family assets. These families often see the continuity of consumption patterns as essential to family harmony.
Nas ?ltimas d?cadas, os modelos de fam?lia patriarcal t?m apresentado uma redu??o significativa de ocorr?ncias no Brasil, enquanto que arranjos familiares monoparentais compostos pela exclusiva lideran?a da mulher apresenta crescimento constante (IBGE, 2015; LEONE et al 2010; COSTA & MARRA, 2013; SCHIMANSKI & PEREIRA, 2013). Desse modo, as transforma??es nas pr?ticas de consumo durante o ciclo familiar oferecem um amplo universo para os estudos de consumo em contexto nacional (CASSOTI & SUAREZ, 2015). ? nesse sentido que os bens possuem a capacidade de funcionar como caminho para a cria??o de identidade familiar, evidenciando as intera??es e reformula??es existentes na fam?lia (EPP & PRICE, 2008; COMMURY & GENTRY, 2000; MILLER, 2010). Diante disso, a presente pesquisa buscou investigar como a mulher da fam?lia que se torna monoparental utiliza a cultura material para minimizar e enfrentar os efeitos causados pela separa??o ou falecimento do c?njuge durante a constru??o da identidade da fam?lia monoparental feminina. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista em profundidade com 12 mulheres chefes de fam?lias monoparentais moradoras na regi?o metropolitana da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (MCCRAKEN,1988). Como requisito b?sico para ser entrevistada as mulheres deveriam ter assumido a condi??o de respons?vel da fam?lia nos ?ltimos 7 anos, per?odo de tempo o qual o processo de restrutura??o p?s divorcio ou falecimento incorre (BURNS & DONALD, 1980; COMMURY & GENTRY, 2000). Os dados coletados foram analisados por meio da an?lise de conte?do (BARDIN, 2011). Nesse sentido, comparando os resultados obtidos e os relacionando com o esquema de constru??o de identidade familiar proposto por Epp & Price (2008), o presente estudo parece apontar que a constru??o de uma de identidade de fam?lia monoparental ocorre exatamente atrav?s de propulsores como; rompimento conjugal, nova forma de lideran?a, maior integra??o entre os membros e limita??o or?amentaria da fam?lia. Diante disso, todos esses atributos s?o determinantes nas formas de rela??o entre a fam?lia e a materialidade, pois, estipulam os n?veis de intensidade dessa intera??o dial?tica. Essas formas de uso, significado e intera??es entre os indiv?duos e os bens parecem criar dois estere?tipos de fam?lia. A primeira foi denominada de fam?lia renovada, a qual compreende as unidades com maior flexibilidade para inser??o de mudan?as, tanto nos bens adquiridos quanto nas formas de negocia??es e participa??es no processo decis?rio. J? o segundo grupo correspondeu as fam?lias gradativas, sendo estas menos propensas as mudan?as dr?sticas em rela??o aos costumes e consumo dos bens familiares. Essas fam?lias geralmente enxergam a continuidade dos padr?es de consumo como algo essencial para a harmonia familiar.

Full textThis thesis analyzes the role of material culture in the construction of a collective identity in an agro-pastoralist group of Southwest Ethiopia, the Mursi. Attention is paid to multiple supports and practices, tangible and intangible, imperishable and perishable. From the beginning, the identification of human groups through the study of their material culture has been an essential part of the history of archaeological research. However, our knowledge about past groups is limited, not only due to the partial preservation of past remains but also, and often, due to methodological problems like the subjective selection of a single type of object or context where to analyze identity aspects. The ethnographic research carried out during the last two decades has generated new paradigms from which to analyze the processes of identification in the area of study, the Lower Omo Valley. To obtain a more complete view of the interaction between the identity – materiality binomial, we use an ethnoarchaeological approach. The choice of this research strategy allows us to observe and reflect, in a current population, on the active role of objects in the construction and maintenance of a social or collective identity. Participation in five campaigns within the Mursiland Heritage Project allowed me to obtain an abundant documentary base which was enlarged by the study of seven museum collections held in of Budapest, (Hungary), Osaka (Japan), Rome (Italy), Manchester (United Kingdom), Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Valencia (Spain) and Jinka (Ethiopia). The present work of thesis incorporates to the traditional archaeological methodology of analysis several categories generated by the local population. This has allowed to establish four areas of study that explore the territory and the mobility, the daily life and related material culture, the objects used in public events and, finally, three institutions to which all individuals belong to and which, through the restriction on the use of a series of objects, hierarchize community life. The results demonstrate the strategic nature of individual and collective identifications, as well as the determining role of objects in making them possible. Hopefully, these conclusions will lead to a reconsideration when assigning categories on groups in other contexts, whether geographic or chronological.

Resumo: Partindo da premissa de que o uso dos tecidos constitui-se em forma complexa de comunicação sócio cultural, esta dissertação intenta, por meio da cultura material, refletida no tema tecidos industrializados, levantar evidências teóricas que nos levem a perceber de que maneira os panos podem revelar processos que implicam na construção de identidades das populações africanas. O entendimento dos simbolismos das formas materiais é fundamental para a interpretação das culturas. A percepção do efeito do mundo material nas interações sociais nos leva a captar evidências e entrelinhas de relações e criações, trazendo à tona formas de pertencimento desencadeadas pelos usos específicos dos objetos. Na intersecção da África com contextos transnacionais os tecidos atuam como articuladores das percepções de gênero, geração, etnicidade, filiação política e nacional. A realidade do uso dos têxteis em África é algo peculiar. No vestuário especificamente, o pano que cobre o corpo é também palavra, portador de mensagens sociais. Ao contextualizarmos os tecidos às organizações sociais específicas e compreendê-los dentro de processos de interação, percebemos formas inusitadas de diálogos e embates com as realidades sócio culturais , provando que a criatividade e a mudança são partes constitutivas da tradição e que a cultura material é capaz de proporcionar a criação e a re-criação de papéis sociais.
Abstract: Taking part from the premise that the use of textiles constitutes a complex means of sociocultural communication, this dissertation intends, by means of the cultural material reflected in the theme of industrialized textiles, to bring to light theoretical evidence that helps us understand the way in which these cloths can reveal the processes implicated in the construction of identity of African populations. Understanding of the symbolism of the material forms is fundamental for the interpretation of culture. The perception of the effect of the material world on social interactions pushes us to collect both evident and subtle aspects of relations and creations bringing up ways of belonging unlocked by the specific uses of the objects. In the intersection of Africa and transnational contexts, textiles act as articulators of perceptions of gender, generation, ethnicity and national and political affiliation. The reality of the use of textiles in Africa is something peculiar. Specifically in terms of attire, the cloth that covers the body is also word, carrier of social messages. In contextualizing textiles within specific social organizations and understanding them as part of processes of interaction, we perceive surprising forms of dialogue and clashes with sociocultural realities, demonstrating that creativity and change are constitutive parts of tradition, and that material culture is capable of affording the creation and recreation of social roles.
