Abstract:

Contributing to scholarship that explores human suffering within mediated culture has provided the impetus for this PhD thesis. I propose that suffering in mediated modernity be considered in social, cultural, and theological terms; and specifically in the context of privation, a term applied by Saint Augustine to the integrated problems of suffering and evil. Privation, to Augustine, meant negation: a vacuum of human existence understood as the absence of positive, sustaining life forces. I attempt to update this concept by arguing that a modern definition of privation can be conceived of as variable states of human deprivation such as loss, dislocation, isolation, and hunger. Privation encompasses these states of deprivation, expressing the kind of suffering that occurs in mediated culture. To narrow the mediated-culture aspect of the study, I explore the topic of fandom, which I define as “the intentional socialization of textual consumption,” and I attempt to show how privation exists in several well-defined forms within a wide variety of fan cultures (groups of fans). In short, fans use their fandom to satisfy their privation in four ways: through connectivity, release, identification, and empowerment. The corresponding deprivations include dislocation, animus, isolation, and hunger. I bring these concepts together in the form of deprivations requiring satisfactions described as dislocation/connectivity, animus/release, isolation/identification, and hunger/empowerment. In each case I attempt to provide analysis and discussion of relevant findings based on empirical research, and in a final discussion I integrate supportive ideas from theories of attachment, catharsis, identification, and empowerment. My methods of research include a combination of secondary source analysis; two distinct phases of questionnaire-based research among 256 fans from various fan cultures; and a case study approach to the online fan culture of the Harry Potter books by Edinburgh author J.K. Rowling.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I explore the practices of English-speaking readers of shônen manga (Japanese comics written primarily for an audience of teenage boys). I concentrate on three series in particular: Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist (2001–2010), Tite Kubo’s Bleach (2001–ongoing), and Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto (1999–ongoing). I argue that, although it may appear to be inherently imbued with (authorial) meaning, the shônen manga text emerges from a curious ‘alchemy’ through which the practices of readers transform the ‘raw’ materials provided by manga creators to produce a text that appears to have always been inherently meaningful in itself. I argue that this is always an impossible and monstrous transformation. In the first chapter, I introduce the monstrous combinations of words and pictures, panels and gutters known as shônen manga and argue for the importance of taking the practices of ‘ordinary’ (or, at least, non-scholarly) reading seriously. In the second chapter I explore the idea that reading is an ‘alchemy’ through which the disparate elements readers encounter on the page are transformed into a meaningful text. In the third chapter, I discuss the ways in which time and narrative are braided as readers assemble the disparate elements they encounter on the shônen manga page. In Chapter 4, I explore the visceral thrills of reading shônen manga, which are often expressed through notions of the awesome and the epic. Finally, in Chapter 5, I examine the ways in which a group of shônen manga readers known as ‘shippers’ find love and romance amidst the fighting in shônen manga and demonstrate the legitimacy of these readings by locating them in the material text through the concept of ‘canon’. By attending to reading as an embodied and material practice in this way, the thesis contributes to debates about the relationships between creators, texts and audiences and ongoing attempts to imagine new ways of being critical within cultural and literary studies. Within cultural geography, these kinds of attempts have often been aligned with what might broadly be described as nonrepresentational theories. As such, this thesis attempts to draw out the geographies through which manga texts are realised as manga texts at all.

A esquizofrenia é um dos principais transtornos psiquiátricos, cujas causas são ainda amplamente desconhecidas. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever as concepções socioculturais relacionadas à experiência subjetiva de pacientes esquizofrênicos e seus familiares, nos seguintes aspectos: a) estudar modelos explicativos e significados formulados por pacientes, familiares e comunidade para entender a esquizofrenia; b) descrever comportamentos e práticas populares de familiares utilizadas no processo do cuidado do paciente esquizofrênico; c) explorar a interação entre a família, o paciente esquizofrênico e a comunidade próxima. Foi realizada uma etnografia utilizando a observação participante e entrevista semiestruturada em profundidade, abordando questões referentes às experiências e crenças de pacientes crônicos com diagnóstico de esquizofrenia e seus familiares, em tratamento no Ambulatório de Saúde Mental da cidade de Montes Claros. Foram entrevistados 46 indivíduos: 16 pacientes, 23 familiares e 07 membros da comunidade. Familiares e pacientes vivem em precárias condições socioeconômicas. Pacientes, familiares e a comunidade compartilham crenças semelhantes quanto à etiologia e curso da doença. A esquizofrenia, para pacientes e familiares, não é reconhecida como uma doença; ela é um transtorno de causa espiritual e tem como principais modelos explicativos o resguardo quebrado, os espíritos, o encosto e os feitiços. Os espíritos geracionais são vistos como responsáveis pela transmissão e manifestação da doença por hereditariedade. A doença passa de um membro para o outro por maldição. Pacientes e familiares buscam ajuda terapêutica, principalmente nos “curandeiros”, no espiritismo e nas igrejas evangélicas, o que nem sempre resulta em melhora. As “vozes” que os pacientes ouvem são interpretadas pelos familiares como vozes espirituais, possibilitando a perspectiva de um aspecto positivo na relação entre familiares e pacientes. A loucura, para pacientes, familiares e comunidade, está associada à inconsciência dos acontecimentos e atitudes em torno de si. Ser “louco” está relacionado ao uso de medicação antipsicótica, o que é uma barreira para a adesão ao tratamento. Não poder participar socialmente do mundo é uma fonte de sofrimento para os pacientes. O relacionamento familiar é permeado de agressividade e violência de ambos os lados. As famílias usam a violência: a) por medo; b) como defesa das agressões recebidas; c) para controle do comportamento do paciente; d) por acreditarem que as agressões dos pacientes são premeditadas; e) por não compreenderem o que acontece com os pacientes. O comportamento violento do paciente é visto como um problema de caráter moral. Na perspectiva da comunidade, o paciente esquizofrênico é perigoso e ameaçador. O contexto sociocultural deve ser considerado ao se pensar políticas de intervenção que priorizem a melhoria de vida para pacientes e familiares. As políticas públicas de saúde mental precisam lidar com os desafios das realidades locais, da dinâmica familiar e da violência, que estão inseridos no contexto do cuidado terapêutico. A etnografia realizada com pacientes, familiares e vizinhos mostrou a complexidade do cuidado do paciente esquizofrênico e necessária articulação de várias áreas do conhecimento para se ter uma aproximação mais realista da vida cotidiana dos participantes.
Schizophrenia is one of the major psychiatric disorders, whose causes are still largely unknown. The aim of this study is to describe the socio-cultural concepts related to the subjective experience of schizophrenic patients and their families in the following aspects a) to study the explanatory models and meanings formulated by patients, families and communities in order to understand schizophrenia b) to describe behaviors and popular practices of the patient’s family used in the process of the schizophrenic care c) to exploit the interaction between the schizophrenic patient, his family and the community. An ethnographic research was conducted using participant observation and semi-structured in-depth interview approaching issues related to experiences and beliefs of chronic patients with schizophrenia diagnosis and their families undergoing treatment at the Mental Health Clinic in the city of Montes Claros, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 46 individuals were interviewed: 16 patients, 23 family members and 07 members of the community. Patients and their families live in poor socioeconomic conditions. Patients, families and the community share similar beliefs towards etiology and the course of the disease. Schizophrenia is not recognized as a disease both by patients and their families; it is considered a spiritual disorder and its main explanatory models are lack of post natal care, spirits, spells and spiritual obsession. Generational spirits are seen as responsible for the disease transmission and manifestation by inheritance. This disease is transmitted from one member of the family to the other by curse. Patients and family members seek therapeutic help mainly in "spiritualist healers" and evangelical churches which does not always bring improvement. The "voices" patients hear are interpreted as spiritual voices by the family, suggesting the prospect of a positive aspect in the relationship between family and patients. The concept of madness for the patients, their families and communities is associated with attitudes and unconsciousness towards what is happening around. Being "crazy" is related to the use of antipsychotic medication presenting a barrier to treatment adherence. The fact of not being able to participate socially in the world is a source of suffering for the patients. The family relationship is surrounded by aggressiveness and violence on both sides. Families use violence; a) for fear b) in order to defend from the aggression received, c) in order to control the patient’s behavior d) because they believe the attacks are premeditated e) because they do not understand what patients are going through. The patients’ violent behavior is seen as a moral character problem. Under the community view, the schizophrenic patient is dangerous and threatening. The sociocultural context must be considered when thinking of intervention policies that prioritize the patients’ and families’ life improvement. Mental health public policies have to deal with the challenges of local realities, family dynamics and violence, which are inserted in the context of therapeutic care. The ethnography with patients, family members and neighbors showed the complexity of the schizophrenic patient care and the articulation needed for several areas of knowledge in order to have a more realistic approach of the participants’ daily life.

Debruço-me, nesta pesquisa, sobre possíveis trilhas para repensar currículos e práticas pedagógicas de modo a articular a valorização e a tematização contextualizada das culturas populares no âmbito da educação formal. O objeto de estudo se apresenta a mim desde minha experiência docente e minhas interrogações se fazem mais significativas quando levo em conta a relevância da dimensão cultural em toda dinâmica social contemporânea e a sua consideração no âmbito da educação escolar numa perspectiva liberal conservadora que despreza as culturas populares, hierarquiza saberes e perpetua currículos abstratos e monoculturais. Desenvolvi o estudo tendo por alicerce a compreensão de que as culturas populares exigem uma racionalidade complexa, alargada, plural, livre de dogmas e que se proponha a ir além de binarismos e essencialismos em suas análises. Foram base deste estudo de caso colaborativo desenvolvido na Escola Municipal Senhor do Bonfim/Buri, na cidade de Alagoinhas-BA, o diálogo com o cotidiano, a dialogia e a aproximação entre pesquisa e prática pedagógica. Utilizei como técnicas de colheita de “dados” a análise documental, as entrevistas, a observação, as conversas informais na convivência com as pessoas, a produção de um vídeo documentário amador com as crianças da escola e descrevi, analisei e discuti os dados com base no paradigma indiciário e na análise bakhtiniana da linguagem. Pude notar que a escola pesquisada perpetua as fragmentações e distanciamentos entre saberes e entre escola e vida. Porém, há transgressões que se colocam no cotidiano quando a escola encontra na comunidade, que a construiu com as próprias mãos, o uso como espaço de convivência social. As transgressões aparecem, também, nos momentos em que há espaço-tempo para a fruição do corpo e para dançar, tocar e cantar o samba de roda. Assim, outros modos de ensinar e aprender se colocam no espaço-tempo da escola e emerge a possibilidade de entrever caminhos para ampliar experiências e saberes, bem como de descanonizar suas formas fixas e imobilizantes. Uma experiência provocativa foi desenvolvida no caminhar da pesquisa e ela se fez formativa para docente, pesquisadora e estudantes, mostrando que a sensibilização docente, a convergência com os princípios da mídia-educação, e o diálogo com a comunidade e com os estudantes se fazem férteis trilhas para a articular e contextualizar as culturas populares no âmbito da educação formal. Além disso, tal experiência me faz refletir que as formas de socialização das culturas populares apresentam-se como referências para repensar os currículos e práticas pedagógicas, possibilitando efetivar o que chamei, com fundamento bakhtiniano, de carnavalização da escola. Considero, em tal olhar, o trânsito em “mão dupla” entre currículos, práticas pedagógicas e culturas populares, tornando a crise e a morte da escola prenhes de ressignificação, de transformação e de renovação.
ABSTRACT This research focuses on possible trails to rethink curriculum and pedagogical practices to articulate the appreciation and the contextualized thematization of the popular cultures in the scope of formal education. The object of this study presents itself for me since my teaching experience and my questions are made more significant when I consider the relevance of the cultural dimension across contemporary social dynamics and the conservator liberal perspective of education dimension that despise the popular cultures, hierarchizes knowledges, and perpetuates abstract and monocultural curriculum. The study was developed having the foundation that the comprehension of the research about education must assume formative function, needs to jump over the epistemological fences that block the dialogue with the subjects that lives and build the daily, and must to approximate of the pedagogical practices. The study also considers what has been called contextualized conception of culture and the popular cultures like historically despised and stereotyped expressions, but that consist in contextualized and hybrid mode, and are recreated and revitalized contemporaneously. The popular cultures thus demand another rationality that is more complex, more wide, more plural, free of dogmas, and proposing to go beyond the binaries and essentialism in their analysis. Therefore, I took as foundations of this case study that was developed at Senhor do Bonfim/Buri School, in Alagoinhas city of state of Bahia, Brazil, and sought to set as a collaborative research, the daily dialogue, the dialogy and the approximation between research and pedagogical practice. I used as data collecting techniques the documental analyse, the interviews, the observation, the informal conversations with the people, an amateur video documentary production with the children of the school, and I made the description, analyses and discussion the data based on the evidential paradigm and Bakhtin´s analyse of language. I could observe that the researched school has a “processed curriculum” that perpetuates fragmentations and differences between knowledge, and between school and life. However, there are transgressions in everyday when the community who built the school with their own hands, uses his space for social interaction activities and builds space-times for body enjoyment, dance and samba that they sing and play. These transgressions lead to school spacetime other modes of teaching and learning whose making the school and school subjects can perceive possibilities to broaden experience and knowledge in the learning process, as well as not canonize their fixed and immobilizing forms. Taking as references the forms of socialization of popular cultures presents itself as a possibility to rethink the curriculum and pedagogical practices and accomplish what I called “carnivalization school” based in Bakhtin foundation. I consider in this view, the traffic in "two-way" between curriculum, pedagogical practices and popular cultures, which makes the crisis and the death of school the pregnant of possibilities to reframing, transformation and renewal.

Based on studies about Popular Feasts it is possible to recognize different aspects which determine them as structuring practices on people s lives that experience those. It is still important to highlight that through these manifestations studies we are capable of knowing a little bit more about the Country s Popular Culture, not only as an entertainment or spectacle, but as something which is dynamized, modified, taking important part on group s and subject s identities formation. This paper had the objective to describe and analyze educational processes present in the Terno de Congado Marinheiro de São Benedito and, by this analysis, try to comprehend how these educational processes occur. The study was undertaken through a qualitative approach and the investigation strategy was a participative research. As for data collection, conversation circles were made and remarks about them registered on a field diary. There were two conversation circles containing five components each, from the Terno Marinheiro de São Benedito; collaborators of the research were aged between eleven and forty three years old. Guiding questions to conversation circles aimed to know: Terno s history, men and women s roles inside the group, teaching and learning relations and the importance to take part in a Congada group of the city. Analysis was divided in three phases: before-analysis, material exploration and treatment of obtained results and data interpretation. After detailed material perusals, it was listed the following thematic categories: 1 learn to life: orality, memories and experiences; 2 secrets and mysteries: visible and invisible worlds; 3 resistance, fight and prejudice; 4 collaboration and faith. Results showed that Congada is a social practice composed of educational processes involving elements such as collaboration and faith, fight, resistance, prejudice, relations between visible and invisible worlds and also learning for life. This social practice modifies daily life of its participants. Because of this Festivity, its sung music, ornaments, choreographies, different world opinions which compose the Congada pageants, congadeiros and congadeiras reaffirm their identity, show pleasure, joy and satisfaction by representing distinct roles from those of everyday life, keeping alive their tradition. This research indicates that congada in Uberlândia is a social practice which resists, transforms and educates. Because of that practice, men and women get formed to life creating strategies and diverse ways to be in the world, through dance, life histories, collaboration experiences and faith.
A partir de estudos das Festas populares é possível reconhecer aspectos diferenciados que as determinam como práticas estruturantes na vida das pessoas que as vivenciam. É importante ressaltar ainda que, por meio de estudos destas manifestações é possível conhecer um pouco sobre a cultura popular no país, não apenas como folguedo ou espetáculo, mas como algo que se dinamiza, se modifica e é parte importante na formação de identidades de grupos e sujeitos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo descrever e analisar processos educativos presentes no Terno de Congado Marinheiro de São Benedito e por meio desta análise compreender como estes processos educativos ocorrem. O estudo foi feito por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa e como estratégia de investigação, realizamos uma pesquisa participante. Como procedimento de coleta de dados, lançamos mão de rodas de conversa e as observações registradas em diário de campo. Foram realizadas duas rodas de conversa com cinco participantes do Terno Marinheiro de São Benedito, as colaboradoras e colaboradores da pesquisa tinham idades entre onze e quarenta e três anos. As questões orientadoras para as rodas de conversa buscaram saber: sobre a história do terno, sobre o papéis desempenhados por homens e mulheres dentro do grupo, as relações de ensino e de aprendizagem e a importância de fazer parte de um grupo de congada na cidade. A análise dos dados se estruturou em três fases: pré análise, exploração do material e tratamento dos resultados obtidos e interpretação dos dados. Após leituras minuciosas do material coletado, elencamos as seguintes categorias temáticas: 1-Aprender para a vida: a oralidade, a memória e as experiências; 2-Segredos e mistérios: o mundo visível e o mundo invisível; 3-Resistência, luta e preconceito; 4-Colaboração e fé. Os resultados mostraram que a congada é uma prática social constituída de processos educativos que envolvem elementos como colaboração e fé, luta, resistência, preconceito, as relações entre o mundo visível e o mundo invisível e também aprendizados para a vida. Esta prática social modifica o papel da vida cotidiana de seus e suas participantes. Através da Festa, das músicas cantadas, dos enfeites, das coreografias, das diferentes visões de mundo que compõem os cortejos da congada os congadeiros e congadeiras reafirmam suas identidades, demonstram o prazer, a alegria e a satisfação em representarem papéis distintos do seu mundo cotidiano, mantendo viva sua tradição. A pesquisa nos mostrou que a congada em Uberlândia é uma prática social que resiste, transforma e ensina. Por meio dela homens e mulheres se formam para a vida criando estratégias e diversas maneiras de ser e estar no mundo por meio da dança, das histórias de vida, das experiências da colaboração e da fé.

Pernambuco region consist of situated practices marked by hybridity between the modern and the traditional, characteristic of the nature of this work and the context in which it is developed. Therefore, I propose that, given the specificities of Agreste of Pernambuco and popular culture, it is necessary to understand the working relationship as consisting of situated practices, adopting a relational ontological positioning and “practical” epistemological positioning through theoretical frame of reference that makes opposed of John Dunlop design about labor relations. To investigate the scope of the thesis argument, I conducted empirical research with two popular culture groups in the city of Caruaru-PE, including the Boi Tira Teima and the Banda de Pífanos Zé do Estado. To realize this empirical research, I got information through ethnomethodological orientation using observation, interviews and visual documentation; analysis of ethnomethodological orientation for recognizing practices that characterize the labor relations in question; and notions of sociological discourse analysis for identification of modern and traditional elements that compose these practices, and the answers to these hybrids. Finally, I identified and analyzed seven practices through which labor relations happen to these two manifestations of popular culture that, although representative, do not exhaust the possibility of existing practices. The hybrids identified in each practice relate primarily to the fact that some of them possess ethos whose orientation is essentially traditional, by predominating customs and old family beliefs, but also be possible to observe an ethos with a modern orientation, whose action is based on purposes, since the groups need to develop cultural projects to ensure funding. Several responses of agents to the hybridisms were identified, among them the action of municipal councilors of culture and other leaders of the popular culture groups that act across multiple ethos; the existence of ways to make projects marked by informality; partnerships between artists of popular culture with cultural producers, as well as the growth of these professionals in popular culture etc. I conclude that labor relations in the popular culture of Agreste of Pernambuco is a complex network of different practices, sometimes with modern orientation, another times with traditional orientation, where several agents interact, sharing meanings ranging from political issues such as understanding that artists of popular culture need unite themselves to maintain dialogue and make pressure with the government, even traditional issues such as understanding the story of the death and resurrection of the Boi, in which each character has a role, meaning that mold all the fun of bumba meu boi. I also conclude that the interaction and conflict between the modern and traditional elements observed in these labor relations constitute interdependent relationship, since the modern does not exist without the traditional and the traditional needs of modern to stay alive.
O argumento da presente tese é que as relações de trabalho na cultura popular da região do Agreste pernambucano são constituídas por práticas situadas marcadas pelo hibridismo entre o moderno e o tradicional, característico da própria natureza deste trabalho e do contexto no qual ele é desenvolvido. Sendo assim, proponho que, dadas as especificidades do Agreste de Pernambuco e da cultura popular, é necessário entender as relações de trabalho como constituídas por práticas situadas, adotando um posicionamento ontológico relacional e um posicionamento epistemológico “prático”, através de estrutura de referência teórica que faz contraposição à concepção de John Dunlop sobre as relações de trabalho. Para investigar o alcance do argumento de tese, realizei pesquisa empírica com dois grupos de cultura popular na cidade de Caruaru-PE, nomeadamente o Boi Tira Teima e a Banda de Pífanos Zé do Estado. Para a concretização dessa pesquisa empírica, levantei informações a partir de orientação etnometodológica utilizando observação, entrevistas e documentação visual; análise com orientação etnometodológica para o reconhecimento das práticas que caracterizam as relações de trabalho em questão; e noções da análise sociológica do discurso, para identificação dos elementos modernos e tradicionais que compõem estas práticas, e as respostas a esses hibridismos. Por fim, identifiquei e analisei sete práticas através das quais se dão as relações de trabalho dessas duas manifestações da cultura popular, que, apesar de representativas, não esgotam a possibilidade de práticas existentes. Os hibridismos identificados em cada prática se relacionam, principalmente, ao fato de algumas delas possuírem ethos cuja orientação é essencialmente tradicional, por predominarem costumes e crenças familiares antigos, mas também ser possível observar um ethos com orientação moderna, cuja ação é baseada em fins, uma vez que os grupos precisam elaborar projetos culturais para garantir recursos financeiros. Várias respostas dos agentes a estes hibridismos foram identificadas, entre elas, a ação dos conselheiros municipais de cultura e outros líderes de grupos da cultura popular que caminham entre vários ethos; a existência de formas de fazer projetos marcadas pela informalidade; as parcerias dos artistas da cultura popular com os produtores culturais, bem como o crescimento desses profissionais na cultura popular, etc. Concluo que as relações de trabalho na cultura popular do Agreste pernambucano são uma rede complexa de práticas diversas, ora com orientação moderna, ora com orientação tradicional, na qual agentes também diversos interagem, compartilhando significados que vão desde questões políticas, como a compreensão de que os artistas da cultura popular precisam se unir para manter diálogo e realizar pressão junto ao poder público, até questões mais tradicionais, como a compreensão da história da morte e ressurreição do Boi, na qual cada personagem possui um papel, significado que molda toda a brincadeira do bumba meu boi. Concluo, também, que o convívio e conflito entre os elementos modernos e tradicionais observados nessas relações de trabalho constituem relação de interdependência, pois o moderno não existe sem o tradicional, e o tradicional precisa do moderno para se manter vivo.

This dissertation shows reflections about the Festivity in Honor of Our Lady of the Rosary and Saint Benedict of Village João Vaz (Goiânia, GO) and the body movements of the congo’s dancers of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto focusing on processing procedures and permanence which are subject traditions and expressions of popular culture. The Rosary celebrations of black men are also known as Congada parties or Congado are produced from a conversion universe to Catholicism present in Brazil, since the colonial period with an ambiguous character who reconstructed and a new meant the sacred made its own and articulated with knowledge and concepts bounded to the ancestral notion of Bantu people. Onwards from a theoretical reference aligned by an interdisciplinary aproach the research purpose is to perceive how the congadeiros of Village João Vaz, especially the participants of congo’s dancers, they living the processes of transformation and permanence of their rituals and body movements (dancing, singing and drumming). To do this, initially, will be shown the structure of the Feast of the João Vaz, its relations with Congada Party of Catalan (GO), and main ceremonies, enabling the perception of the cycle of the Feaste, from the participation of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto. Then we will discuss about the contact’s points between the processes of urbanization and modernity and the ceremonies of the Feast of João Vaz that have presented to “congadeiros” the necessity of modifications and new meanings in their rituals, as the demands of urban life. So understand that, the same time that the life settings in the city point to the formation of an individualistic and apathetic subjectivit based on monetary values it was observed as the existence of manifestations of popular culture as the Congada between others present in regions considered marginalized comunities that they went occupied by people with limited financial resources who value sociability, solidarity coexistence affection and friendship. Finally, we will discuss about how the dancers of Terno de Congo Verde e Preto are living the changes and continuities in the configuration of body movements and rituals they perform, in view of the embodiment of knowledge that are manifested in dancing, singing and drumming, as basic features make up the african-Brazilian performances. The survey conducted the understanding of the interrelationships between the material sphere of existence and spiritual or symbolic sphere that operated in the manifestations of popular culture. This being one of the aspects that allow the observation of their movements and transformations and the realization that the knowledge of Congada that are sedimented in Congadeiro(congo dancer) body in built-in memory, the formation of a habitus, which manifests in festive ceremonies and celebration rituals.
Esta dissertação apresenta reflexões sobre a Festa em Louvor a Nossa Senhora do Rosário e São Benedito da Vila João Vaz (Goiânia, GO) e os movimentos corporais dos dançadores do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto, tendo como foco os processos de transformação e permanência, os quais estão sujeitas as tradições e manifestações da cultura popular. As festas do rosário dos homens pretos, também conhecidas como Festas de Congada, ou Congado, são produzidas a partir de um universo de conversão ao catolicismo, presentes no Brasil, desde o período colonial possuindo um caráter polissêmico, que reconstituiu e ressignificou o sagrado feito de uma forma própria e articulada a saberes e concepções vinculadas à noção de ancestralidade dos povos Bantos. Partindo de um referencial teórico alinhado por um eixo interdisciplinar, o intuito da pesquisa é perceber como os congadeiros da Vila João Vaz, em especial os participantes do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto, vivenciam os processos de transformação e permanência de seus rituais e movimentos corporais(danças, cantos e batuques). Para tanto, inicialmente, será apresentada a estrutura da Festa da João Vaz, suas relações com a Festa de Congada de Catalão (GO) e principais cerimônias, possibilitando a percepção do ciclo da Festa, a partir da participação do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto. Em seguida, será discutido a respeito dos pontos de contato entre os processos de urbanização e da modernidade e as cerimônias da Festa da João Vaz que têm apresentado aos congadeiros a necessidade de modificações e ressignificações em seus rituais, conforme as exigências da vida urbana. Percebe-se que, ao mesmo tempo em que as configurações da vida na cidade apontam para a formação de uma subjetividade individualista e apática, fundamentada por valores monetários, observa-se, também, a existência de manifestações da cultura popular, como a Congada, entre outras, presentes em regiões consideradas marginalizadas, ocupadas por populações com poucos recursos financeiros, que valorizam a sociabilidade, a convivência solidária o afeto e a amizade. Finalmente, discutiremos sobre como os congadeiros do Terno de Congo Verde e Preto vivenciam as transformações e permanências na configuração dos movimentos corporais e rituais que realizam, tendo em vista a corporificação de saberes que são manifestados no dançar, cantar e batucar, como características básicas que compõem as performances afro-brasileiras. A pesquisa possibilitou o entendimento das inter-relações entre a esfera material da existência e a esfera espiritual ou simbólica que operam nas manifestações da cultura popular, sendo este um dos aspectos que permitem a observação de seus movimentos e transformações; bem como a percepção de que os saberes da Congada estão sedimentados no corpo do congadeiro, em uma memória incorporada, pela constituição de um habitus, que se manifesta nas cerimônias festivas e nos rituais de celebração.

Abstract:

This descriptive case study examined adolescents' and emerging adults' literate and social practices within the context of a role-play-game (RPG) forum, investigating the ways participants read and collaboratively composed within this space. As a researcher, I was interested in how this space functioned and how the interactions between members impacted their composing processes, with particular attention to the role of online spaces and popular culture in adolescents' motivation to engage in this forum. This study was guided by three research questions: (1) In what ways is Trelis Weyr, an RPG forum, organized as a virtual environment?; (2) In what ways, and for what purposes, do adolescents and emerging adults (ages 14-24) engage in literate and social practices as they read and collaboratively compose within Trelis Weyr?; (3) What are the factors that motivate participants to enter and persist at play in Trelis Weyr? Findings provide a nuanced understanding of how an RPG forum offers a range of multimodal, inter-textual, and hybrid reading and writing opportunities.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the cultural history of children’s reading. It is argued that it is important to apply a wider historical perspective to the contemporary debate on the rapid changes in children’s and young people’s reading habits, and that existing historical research rarely deals with reading as a practice, but rather with its institutional and textual conditions such as the school, the library system and children’s literature. The thesis thus aims to explore the practice of reading and its relations to historical circumstances.Through a close reading of 30 retrospective interviews conducted in the 1970’s and 80’s, the analysis deals with some of the experienced motives, inter- pretations, materialities and social dimensions of children’s reading practices experienced in the first decades of the 20th century. It offers a discussion of these practices as related to wider historical contexts. Theoretically, the analysis is in- spired by the conceptualizations of a ‘history of reading’ in the works of Roger Chartier, Robert Darnton and Jonathan Rose.It is concluded that even if the informants in principle had access to different models, motives and genres for reading, the practice of reading often had to take on the character of improvisation in contexts where material resources and soci- al sympathies for reading were lacking. Furthermore, in relation to the complex social tensions and dynamics surrounding reading, the practice may also be defined by its degree of legitimacy and/or autonomy in a given context.These results imply that further research and debate is needed on the con- nections between the value attributed to reading in relation to changing concepts of work and “usefulness”, on the collective historical experiences of cultural progression, and on issues of the identity of the modern children’s library.

When writing about the History of Present Time we are challenged by different problems, especially those that refer to our very existence, which are the ones that hold our attention most. It is the cockfighting, that is, the discourses, perceptions and meanings about it that concerned us more in the field of ideas. Therefore, the option of presenting cockfighting as part of a social problem that involves different people in different ways, especially when it refers to people s sensitiveness, however, going even deeper, we want to think about this sensitiveness and what territories it invades. At this moment, the concept of city arises as a field of study that creates unique research possibilities, and it is not any city, but a metropolitan region of recent urbanization and integration to certain cosmopolitism, showing refusal to some practices considered inappropriate to the urban environment, or to the society as a whole. Thus, our main goal is to observe the modification that take place with the cockfighting practice in the region of the Greater Florianópolis between 1980 and 2011. From a research based on oral history methodology, we will seek, through people s memory that had or have contact with that practice, to understand how sociable relationship took/take place and what the diffusion of cockfighting was. In this perspective, these voices from an ordinary culture work as a way of developing and deepening issues that concerns to studies on cities. In this sense, we will deepen some issues and, when it is possible, we will try to understand this space that modernize itself and shifts the modus vivendi of a society, that is, how new sensitivities and sociability develop in this urban space. We will try to understand how the fowl breeding, so as the very cockpit, needs restrict and controlled space in urban regions, because of the very urban physical structure, so as by the new restrictions and limitations that this space produces. In this sense, we will make a survey about the spots where the cockfighting used to take place, how its diffusion was, and what alterations are possible to notice from this new paradigm, seeking to find in what moment the cockfighting started being considered like a problem
Em história do tempo presente somos jogados frente a inúmeros problemas e dilemas, sobretudo aqueles que tangem a nossa existência, estes são os que mais nos chamam para si e nos consomem. E são as brigas de galos, ou melhor, os discursos, percepções e significados sobre ela os que mais me ocupam no campo das ideias. Por isso, a opção por apresentá-la como parte de um problema social, que toca várias pessoas de diferentes formas, sobretudo ao que se refere às sensibilidades, porém, indo mais além, pensar que sensibilidades são estas, por quais territórios permeiam. É neste instante que surge a conceito de cidade como um campo de estudos a ofertar possibilidades ímpares de pesquisa, e não é qualquer cidade, é uma cidade, ou melhor, uma região metropolitana, de recente urbanização e integração a certo cosmopolitismo, apresentando repulsa por determinadas práticas consideradas inapropriadas para o ambiente urbano, ou para a sociedade de uma maneira geral. Assim, temos como objetivo central a observação das alterações que acontecem com a prática da briga de galos, ou rinha de galos, na região da Grande Florianópolis, entre 1980 e 2011. A partir de uma pesquisa que tem como metodologia a História Oral, busco, através da memória de pessoas que tiveram ou tem contato com essa prática, compreender como se davam ou como se dão as relações de sociabilidades e qual era a difusão dessa prática. Nesta perspectiva, essas vozes de uma cultura ordinária funcionam como um meio de desenvolver e aprofundar questões que dizem respeito a estudos sobre cidades. Por isso, cabe ainda aprofundar algumas questões, e na medida do possível, compreender este espaço que se moderniza e altera o modus vivendi de uma sociedade, ou melhor, como novas sensibilidades e sociabilidades se desenvolvem nesse espaço que se urbaniza. Tentar entender como a criação destes animais, bem como a própria rinha, precisa de certo espaço - cada vez mais restrito (e controlado) nos meios urbanos, seja pela própria estruturação física do urbano, como pelas novas restrições e limitações que este espaço vem a produzir. Para isso, se faz necessário um levantamento acerca dos locais onde se praticava a rinha de galos, como se dava a sua difusão e quais alterações são possíveis de se perceber a partir desse novo paradigma, buscando localizar em que momento a briga de galos começa a ser considerada como um "problema"

The research of Family Amaros is, in some sense, the continuity of the master thesis, entitled The Caretagem as cultural practice: faith, blackness and revelry in Paracatu, MG(1960-1980) and, consequently, the induced understand its displacement relative to a neighborhood on the outskirts of the city of Paracatu and understand their wiles and cultural resistance, especially with regard to the struggles and conflicts that have undertaken the process of resuming possession of their lands and farm Pituba. In this sense, this research on the family of Amaros aimed to deepen their ritual context, which aims to establish a dialogue that goes beyond a simple reading of the daily life they represent, because the trajectory envisioned an understanding of family and kinship network woven from cultural shaped face and survive the social and political issues experienced. In vieis, this agenda is the political struggle for social rights of the family land located on the farm of Amaros, Pituba, from which they were expropriated from the year 1940. In this political process was evidence the persistence of the values and traditions of African descent enrolled in a memory that moved to the urban periphery recreate their culture, their way of life, combining the family around their celebrations, sociability, arts and craft activities as a way of living maintain their cultural identity. From this point of view, we conceive the political struggle for recognition of their land and social rights embedded in their daily lives for their popular cultural practices, hence, the focus not only on their movement around the Palmares Cultural Foundation and the Institute for Black Speech, but also the set of symbolic representations that protect their cultural identity through a social memory in continuous recreation / reinvention.
A pesquisa - Família dos Amaros - é, em algum sentido, a continuidade do trabalho de mestrado, intitulado A Caretagem como prática cultural: fé, negritude e folia em Paracatu-MG (1960-1980) o que, por consequência, nos induziu a compreender o seu deslocamento familiar para um bairro da periferia da cidade de Paracatu. Assim como nos permitiu entender as suas astúcias e resistências culturais, especialmente no que diz respeito às lutas e conflitos que têm empreendido no processo de retomada e posse de suas terras da fazenda Pituba. Nesse sentido, a pesquisa sobre a família dos Amaros objetivou aprofundar seu contexto ritualístico, num diálogo que pretende ir além de uma leitura do simples cotidiano por eles representado, já que a trajetória vislumbrada passa pelo entendimento da rede de parentesco familiar e cultural tecida como forma de enfrentar e sobreviver às questões sociais e políticas vivenciadas. Neste viés, está em pauta a luta política pelos direitos sociais da terra da família dos Amaros situada na fazenda Pituba, que lhes foi expropriada a partir dos anos de 1940. Nesse processo político, evidencia-se a persistência dos valores e tradições inscritos numa memória afrodescendente que, deslocada para a periferia urbana, recria sua cultura, sua forma de viver, aglutinando os familiares em torno de suas festas, sociabilidades, atividades artesanais e artes de viver como forma de manter sua identidade cultural. Desse ponto de vista concebemos a luta política pelo reconhecimento de suas terras e direitos sociais entranhadas no seu cotidiano pelas suas práticas culturais populares, daí o enfoque não só na sua movimentação em torno da Fundação Cultural Palmares e do Instituto Fala Negra, mas também no conjunto de representações simbólicas que resguardam sua identidade cultural por meio de uma memória social em contínua recriação/reinvenção.

O estudo trata de espaços pedagógicos, partindo da consideração do Centro de Educação Física e Esporte da UFBA para questionar as relações entre projeto histórico, projeto de formação humana e o trabalho pedagógico em espaços educativos. O questionamento teórico que se coloca, face à situação do Curso de Formação de Professores de Educação Física da UFBA, diz respeito às possibilidades de organização do espaço objetivando, através do trabalho pedagógico, superar contradições e construir uma internalização de novos valores e conseqüentemente, uma outra construção de subjetividade humana. A hipótese é de que os espaços pedagógicos na sociedade estão diminuindo, não cumprem sua finalidade educativa, na perspectiva de uma formação humana omnilateral e, na área da cultura corporal, quando existem, sua infra-estrutura é unilateral e relacionada com práticas esportivas competitivas, individualistas. Isso está determinado, em geral, pelos interesses de lucro que levam à privatização dos espaços públicos, pelo projeto político pedagógico institucional e pela correlação de forças estabelecidas que defendem projetos antagônicos expressos no trabalho pedagógico. Contraditoriamente, existem possibilidades concretas, na luta dos contrários, de superação das condições objetivas que atualmente predominam no CEFE/UFBA. Para tanto, fazem-se necessários estudos aprofundados, o projeto político pedagógico da instituição, o intercâmbio acadêmico, a determinação política e o trabalho pedagógico coletivo, intenso, integrados com a comunidade e as escolas públicas do sistema de ensino e voltados para a construção da cultura corporal, na perspectiva de um projeto histórico para além do capital. O percurso teórico metodológico implicou uma definição de conceitos e categorias como realidade, contradições e possibilidades, e sobre formação humana, práticas pedagógicas e cultura corporal. Levantaram-se dados em fontes documentais primárias, secundárias e fontes vivas que permitiram reconhecer práticas, finalidades e infra-estrutura do CEFE/UFBA, em seus trinta anos de existência, e delinear possibilidades superadoras através da construção do “Centro de Referencia Popular da Formação de Professores e da Cultura Corporal”.

Abstract:

The popularisation of Latin American dance genres in societies outside of Latin America has long contributed to evolving and appropriated styles. This research looks at such a case: the ‘Samba Showgirl’, the cross-cultural dance practice of Brazilian ‘samba no pé’ in an Australian environment. This hybrid is the result of bringing, what is at its origin, an Afro-Brazilian dance practice into the bodies of jazz and ballet trained commercial dancers. Beyond the hybridisation of samba in Australia, the way in which practitioners engage with this imported dance form is examined. Here we see how ideas of authenticity are caught up in notions of exoticism, how commercialising the form contributes to the way it is presented, and how aesthetic values of dance differ between Australia and Brazil. This research contains both ethnographic and biographic data, collected through my engagement in the Australian samba scene as both a working dancer and performance studies researcher. Performance observations, attendance at workshops and classes, qualitative interviews, as well as online analysis, have contributed to the research findings. This thesis explores the embodiment of a dance tradition in a culture and context far from its origin. I aim to explore how these performances and their participants engage with and affect broader discussions around performing in cross-cultural settings.

The main objective of this report research is to apprehend the strategies for literary capital acquisition to Letters students from lower classes under the sociological perspective of Pierre Bourdieu, to whom the lower classes are destined to the school failure, because the school transmits the dominant cultural capital which is scarce to them. Therefore, the subject of this study are 56 students from the 6th semester of a public college in São Paulo (Group 1) and 36 students in the same semester from a private college located in the city of Santos (Group 2). The specifics objectives are: 1) characterize the social economic and cultural profile in the last year; 2) raise the strategies of appropriation to the literary capital in the path before college and in the same schedule; 3) compare this student improvement and the number of abdication in his group; 4) verify how much the Letters course interferes in his cultural activities today. The main theoretical supports in the sociological area are Pierre Bourdieu, Bernard Lahire and Bernard Charlot. In the reading area, the main reference is Antonio Augusto Gomes Batista. We claim to investigate in which way (which reading and strategies) these students used to obtain in their academic life this elite cultural capital (literary and school), where we presume, they had a little or none contact: literature is the lecture that composes the curricular grade in this course, and we suppose that the student use some strategies to acquit this capital, but the acquisition of the literary capital is only superficial. This has been partially proved. For this, they realized a quantitative and qualitative data collect, making applied tests for both groups and interviews with two students from Group 1, beyond consulting the course secretary of the college to obtain how many students got off. The results show that Group 1 belongs to middle and lower classes and Group 2 to the lower classes. This report reveals that the ones that prefer public college suffers a super selection, before and during the course, and at this point they have more cultural capital than the group of private college. The literary lecture is connected to some singularities in the students life history that distinguish their relationship to pairs of their classes and allows them to reach a high social level
Sob a perspectiva sociológica de Pierre Bourdieu, segundo a qual as camadas populares, em razão de seu escasso capital cultural de origem, destinam-se ao fracasso escolar porque a escola transmite o capital cultural dominante (ou da elite), esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral caracterizar as estratégias de aquisição do capital literário por estudantes dos cursos de Letras originários de camadas populares. Portanto, os sujeitos de estudo são 56 estudantes do sexto semestre de Letras de uma universidade pública da cidade de São Paulo (Grupo 1) e 36 estudantes do sexto semestre de Letras de uma universidade privada da cidade de Santos (Grupo 2). Os objetivos específicos são: 1) caracterizar o perfil socioeconômico e cultural dos estudantes dos últimos anos do curso de Letras; 2) levantar as estratégias de apropriação do capital literário na trajetória anterior ao curso universitário e no próprio curso de Letras; 3) aferir o aproveitamento desse estudante e o número de desistências em sua turma; 4) verificar o quanto o curso de Letras interfere hoje nas suas atividades culturais. Os fundamentais autores que oferecem apoio teórico na área sociológica, além de Pierre Bourdieu, são Bernard Lahire e Bernard Charlot. Na área de leitura, a principal referência é Antônio Augusto Gomes Batista. Pretendeu-se investigar de que forma (que estratégias, principalmente a leitura) esses estudantes utilizaram para adquirir, na trajetória escolar e universitária, um capital cultural de elite (o capital escolar e o literário) com o qual, supõe-se, tiveram pouco ou nenhum contato: a Literatura, disciplina componente da grade curricular do curso de Letras, sob a hipótese, parcialmente comprovada, de que os sujeitos recorreriam a estratégias (limitantes) para tentar se apropriar do capital, mas essa apropriação seria superficial. Para isto, foi realizada coleta quantitativa e qualitativa de dados, por meio de questionários aplicados nos dois grupos e entrevistas com dois sujeitos do Grupo 1, além de consulta à secretaria do curso de Letras da universidade pública a fim de obter números de evasão. A análise dos resultados mostrou que Grupo 1 (universidade pública) pertence às camadas médias e populares e o Grupo 2 (universidade privada) pertence às camadas populares. Revelou-se que os sujeitos que ingressam na universidade pública sofrem uma superseleção, antes e durante o curso, e têm, a essa altura, capital cultural mais volumoso do que os sujeitos da universidade privada, cuja relação com a leitura literária é bastante rarefeita. As entrevistas mostraram que uma leitura literária competente está vinculada a singularidades na história dos sujeitos que os distingue entre os pares de sua classe e pode levá-los à mobilidade social

Abstract:

This thesis offers a historicist engagement with both canonical and non-canonical authors of the 1790s with the aim of revealing the investment of the period’s imaginative writing in contemporary cultures of popular magic. It is a subject Romantic Studies has too long neglected. The Introduction profiles this neglect and reveals the richness of the field for historicist literary study. The first chapter proceeds to offer a profile of the dynamic contours and intersections of various modalities of popular occult practice, from cunning men and women to astrologers and conjurors, and taxonomises the available evidence. The emphasis is on both the material economies of such practices and the forms in which they gained complex literary representation. In Chapter 2, an analysis of the cultural resonance of popular magic in the formative public debates of the 1790s is followed by a case study of John Thelwall’s adoption of the persona of ‘conjuror’ as a response to political exile and personal disillusionment. This leads, in chapters 3 and 4, to an excavation of Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s 1798 Lyrical Ballads that brings into view its complex and conflicted attitudes to popular magic. A radical disjunction between the two poets is identified in their differing responses to, and deployments of, material occult culture in fascinatingly transatlantic contexts. While Wordsworth came to look on the adoption of occult identities as potentially empowering for disenfranchised subjects, Coleridge anxiously regarded the superstition on which such identities relied as mentally incarcerating – a view complicated by his own guilty apostasy. Chapter 5 moves to consider Robert Southey’s negotiations with Lyrical Ballads and his engagement with a non-domestic occult through which he articulated his own contested public identity at the close of the 1790s. One of the main aims of the thesis is to defamiliarise orthodox readings of Romantic literature by offering a new lens through which to read the period’s imaginative productions against the background of sub-cultures neglected by literary critics and only recently recovered by social historians.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo, a partir da perspectiva pragmática, investigar a política de representação e a (co)construção da identidade social dos agentes representantes de práticas discursivas da cultura popular pernambucana (grupo indígena Xucuru e sua prática popular de toré; grupo Encanto das Caraíbas e sua prática popular de reisado; e grupo Raízes de Arcoverde e sua prática popular de samba de coco). Especificamente, analiso a representação das práticas discursivas dos agentes sociais dessa cultura popular por meio dos processos de referenciação, constituintes de estereótipos - ao observar a representação tanto a partir dos próprios discursos de seus agentes quanto pelos discursos que a mídia jornalística constrói para representá-los. Parto da hipótese de que a identidade social desses agentes é transformada politicamente e se (co)constrói pelos vários discursos em circularidade no interior de suas representações. Assumo o ponto de vista de Hall (2002) ao dizer que a identidade social não é algo inato, é imaginário e formado e transformado no interior da representação, ou seja, pelo modo como podemos identificar uma cultura local por meio das práticas discursivas expressas por essa cultura. A metodologia utilizada foi fundamentada a partir de pesquisas de campo e se constituiu pelos seguintes passos: i) observar apresentações de agentes sociais da cultura popular pernambucana a fim de analisar as práticas populares citadas acima; ii) observar e entrevistar os grupos representantes dessa cultura popular em seus lugares de origem: Pesqueira, Caraíbas e Arcoverde; iii) recolher material histórico que serviu de base para as composições dos agentes sociais da cultura popular em Pernambuco; e iv) recolher material da mídia ao representar os discursos de agentes sociais relacionados à cultura popular mencionada. Os dados do corpus podem ser descritos da seguinte forma: (i) as entrevistas feitas diretamente com os agentes representantes de práticas da cultura popular em Pernambuco; e (ii) entrevistas coletadas da Internet sobre os grupos populares citados. Após o estudo, é possível afirmar que a identidade social dos agentes representantes das práticas da cultura popular pernambucana é transformada social e politicamente e se (co)constrói na circularidade dos discursos que, por sua vez, se constituem linguisticamente pelos processos de referenciação - tanto destes próprios agentes sociais ao se representarem quanto por meio da mídia jornalística ao representá-los. Além disso, também é possível afirmar que os processos de referenciação componentes dos vários discursos reafirmam, legitimam e ressignificam estereótipos sobre os agentes sociais e as práticas populares estudadas.
Abstract: This research aims to investigate the political representation and the (co) construction of social identity from the pragmatic perspective, through the discoursive practices of the social agents of Pernambuco's popular culture manifestations (aboriginal tribe Xucuru and its popular manifestation of toré; community of Caraíbas and its popular manifestation of reisado; and Raízes de Arcoverde and its popular manifestation of coconut samba). The analysis focuses specifically on the discoursive practices of the social agent's political representation of the popular culture, through the analysis of the referentiation processes, which constitutes the stereotypes - when observing the representation of social agents of Pernambuco's popular culture manifestations through their own discoursive practices as well as the media's discoursive practices used to refer to them. Because of it, the hypothesis of this study is that the social identities of those social agents are socially and politically transformed and (co) constructed by their discoursive practices through the process of circulation in the political representation. In such a way, I assume as Hall (2002) that social identity is not something innate, imaginary, and it is formed and transformed inside the representation, in order to identify a local culture by means of expressing discoursive practices for this culture. To do this research, a field research methodology was used to collect the corpus and it was constituted by the following procedures: i) to observe the social agents' presentations of Pernambuco's popular culture in order to analyze the cultural manifestations cited above; II) to observe and to interview the representative popular groups of Pernambuco's popular culture in their places of origin: Pesqueira, Caraíbas, and Arcoverde; III) to collect historical material that was used as the basis for the composition of the social agents of Pernambuco's popular culture; and IV) to collect material from the media when representing the discourses related with social agents from Pernambuco's popular culture. The data of the corpus can be described through the following steps: (i) the interviews were made directly with the social agents of manifestations of Pernambuco's popular culture; and (II) the interviews about the abovementioned popular groups were collected on the Internet. The results suggest that the social identity of the social agents of Pernambuco's popular culture is transformed socially and politically and it is (co) constructed into the circularity process of the discoursive practices of the social agents when representing themselves by the referentiation processes as well as they are represented by the media's social agents. Moreover, it is also possible to conclude that the referentiation processes used in both discoursive practices make evident the legitimation of stereotypes on the social agents and the popular manifestations studied.

Abstract:

I samband med att samhället utvecklats har populärkulturer explosionsartat uppkommit,kanske till och med lite för snabbt. För att göra det möjligt att kunna ta del av all populärkulursom varje individ har, handlar det om att se helheten. Populärkultur styrs av kontextenberoende på situationen och vem som upplever den.Syftet med studien är att se närmre på hur förskolebarns vardagliga populärkulturer kan se utoch hur barn kan använda sig utav sina erfarenheter för att skapa artefakter ifrån sinapopulärkulturer. I studien framkommer det att populärkulturens artefakter möjliggör barnsutveckling och lärande, då de samlar på sig erfarenheter som ger en fylligare ryggsäck tillderas fantasier. Teorin som varit tillhjälp i studien är Vygotskijs, grundaren till detsociokulturella perspektivet. Relevansen i teorin har varit aktuell där de sociala samspelandesituationerna berikar fantasi och erfarenhetsvärld. Populärkulturer kan ses som komponenter ibarns omgivning och i sociala sammanhang, där av har teorin används i studien. Studiensempiri har insamlats med hjälp av observationer och informella samtal enligt en kvalitativmetod. Resultatet som framkom är att barn använder sig av olika artefakter som är relevant tillderas lek av populärkultur och att barns populärkulturer kan vara en väg in till literacy.Slutsatsen i studien är att barn använder sig utav olika artefakter för att nå dit dem vill vare sigde har en medvetenheten om det eller inte. Barns populärkulturer blir som ett hjälpmedel ideras livsvärld och som bidrar till utveckling och lärande.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the positioning and re-positioning of vinyl records and those that collect them. It does so in the context of vinyl’s decline as the primary carrier of music. It is constructed within a theoretical framework of material culture and broader cultural studies. It draws on qualitative data collected through a standard survey from 344 record collectors in 21 countries. The data is discussed and presented in theoretically conceptualised chapters. I consider vinyl as a physical artefact, as ‘thing’ and contrary to historical and contemporary engagement with music as ephemeral, as experience. I discuss vinyl in terms of eras; of both disc manufacture and what I have termed three eras of collecting. I argue that the economic and cultural trajectories of vinyl lead to differing states of desirability along these journeys. Vinyl is then positioned as a collectable object, contrary to established collecting theory, drawing on the varying states of desirability. Notions of the past are considered in relation to vinyl’s historical position as primary carrier during the ‘golden era’ of popular music. The differing patterns of nostalgia are discussed in relation to how they enable record collectors access to the pasts of popular musics and defines markers of collecting that allow identiIication of differing nostalgias. I argue that the sensory nature of the vinyl experience, how these objects are positioned as markers of collectors’ taste, contribute to attitudes regarding condition through the idea of patina. This taste and accompanying practices are further discussed as contribution to the social aspects of collecting, to status, shared cultures and knowledges. The practices of collectors are varied and complex but with common focal points and issues. Collectors value the physical engagement with vinyl, the large artwork and the attentive, prolonged ‘slow’ engagement with the format. Nostalgic practices of record collectors vary dependent on their length of engagement with the culture as well as their age. Collectors’ experience of vinyl as either the primary or as a marginal deliverer of music also contributes to differences in practice. These markers impact on their attitudes to condition of second hand records and the trace of previous ownership. This work crosses between, and contributes to, discourses of material culture, cultural theory, and poses challenges to established ideas of collecting.

Abstract:

This thesis examines popular music in the city of Leicester. It looks at local popular music practice through the activities, values and structures of support associated with local music scenes and music industry. It explores the ways in which popular music contributes to city life through the activities of particular groups involved in the production and distribution of music in Leicester. It also considers how local governance structures influence and shape music practice through cultural policy and municipal government and regulation. Using the concepts 'music scene' and 'music community' I consider how participation in popular music in the city is organised around particular sites, activities, coalitions and alliances. The production and localisation of identities, values and economies through popular music practice are considered via case study and through examination of the relationship between public sector supported initiatives and different social and music communities. In particular, I focus on the ways in which popular music is thought to represent different social groups and how this representation is an important element of local cultural policy. The social function of popular music in marking and contributing to social and cultural identity (Frith 1987) is examined in the context of urban communities and identities, and in terms of its propensity to facilitate public celebration and display of diverse ethnicities in a multicultural city. I consider the history of provision for popular music and recent policy initiatives in Leicester in comparison to other examples of urban cultural policy, which are offered as a framework for considering different strategies for urban regeneration and animation through the popular music sector. In doing so, I question the relationship between cultural value and cultural policy and discuss issues associated with local music scenes and identities and the influences on local music policy and practice.

Abstract:

This thesis contributes new knowledge about writing and analyzing string arrangements for recorded Popular music. I show how string arrangements can be categorized under one of seven distinct styles that are made coherent and meaningful through their identification with specific social and cultural institutions. The string styles are derived from and situated in a cultural and historical corpus of 500 albums released between 1952 and 2011. The thesis offers a new way for arrangers to analyze examples of practice, inform new creative work, and communicate with other musical professionals about string arranging.

Abstract:

This research project is based on the premise that school students have a right to an education that assists them to "develop a sense of personal meaning and identity, and be encouraged to reflect critically on the ways in which that occurs." (Curriculum Frameworks, 1998, Values, Statement 2.2 Personal meaning: 325). Not only should education offer students a sense of well being, it should make a difference to their lives and foster an appetite for life long learning. A key ingredient that makes for a rich, fulfilling and rewarding life, is an understanding of visual culture, that according to Freedman (2003:1), "inherently provides context for the visual arts and points to the connections between popular and fine arts forms".

This thesis follows Curricular Research, Professionalization and Teaching Studies, and is based on investigation of Cultural Studies, Basil Bernstein s analyses on classification and framing, Boaventura de Souza Santos interpretation of the paradigmatic transition of contemporary science, as well as Max Horkheimer s and Theodor Adorno s analyses on the dual relationship between instrumental and emancipative reason. The teacher s proposal of curricular recontextualization of legal practice and research encompassing theoretical, jurisprudential and field research was performed by three professors and was put into practice by twenty-one undergraduate students attending the first and second terms of the Law Course at Anhanguera Educational/Atlântico Sul College in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, from March to December 2007 and, in two specific cases, up to the beginning of 2008. The activities included curricular components of Legal Science Methodology, Legal Anthropology and Legal Sociology. The pedagogic practice aimed to build emancipative and critical knowledge by means of interdisciplinary and multicultural research that was able to connect academic legal knowledge to the popular and practical lore of groups and local communities, eventually providing students with a broader, more inclusive view of law. For such it intended to modify the traditional pedagogic code of Law Courses, which is based on the Positivist Theory, by investing on flexibility of power and social control, being guided by the characteristics of the emerging paradigm according to the theorization used in the initial proposal. A case study of qualitative approach was performed by means of semistructured interviews whose results confirmed the possibility of inverting the poles of western rationality, however small, and that of building emancipative knowledge directed towards the autonomy of thought in students, the critical analysis of state law, and the addition of other legal rules, prepared and applied by local communities.
A presente dissertação foi desenvolvida na Linha de Pesquisa Currículo, Profissionalização e Trabalho Docente, tendo por fundamentos principais as investigações acerca dos Estudos Culturais, de Basil Bernstein, especialmente sobre classificação e enquadramento, Boaventura de Sousa Santos e a transição paradigmática da ciência contemporânea e Max Horkheimer e Theodor Adorno, quanto à relação dual entre razão instrumental e emancipatória. Nesse texto é examinada a proposta docente de recontextualização curricular da prática de pesquisa jurídica, abrangendo a pesquisa teórica, jurisprudencial e de campo, realizada por três professores e efetivada por vinte e um alunos do primeiro e do segundo semestre do Curso de Direito da Anhanguera Educacional/Faculdade Atlântico Sul de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, entre março e dezembro de 2007, e, em dois casos, estendendo-se até o começo de 2008, em atividade envolvendo os componentes curriculares de Metodologia da Ciência do Direito, Antropologia Jurídica e Sociologia Jurídica. Essa prática pedagógica teve como objetivo construir um conhecimento emancipatório e crítico através de uma investigação transdisciplinar e multicultural, que conectasse o saber acadêmico-jurídico com os saberes populares e práticos de grupos e comunidades locais e que, ao final, proporcionasse aos alunos uma percepção de direito mais ampla e inclusiva. Para isso, pretendeu modificar o código pedagógico tradicional dos cursos de Direito, baseado na escola positivista, investindo na flexibilização do poder e do controle social e orientando-se pelas características do paradigma emergente, segundo as teorizações utilizadas na proposta inicial. Foi realizado um estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa, por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, cujos resultados confirmaram a possibilidade da inversão dos pólos da racionalidade ocidental, ainda que de maneira tênue, e da construção de um conhecimento-emancipação junto aos alunos, voltado à autonomia de pensamento, à análise crítica do direito estatal e à inclusão de outros regramentos jurídicos, elaborados e aplicados pelas comunidades locais.

Abstract:

This essay examines how witches are portrayed in American produced TV-series in the year 2000 and forward, what elements could have effected that portrayal in the series and also how this portrayal differs itself from witches within Wicca. The material used for this examination are the TV-series Charmed, The Vampire Diaries and Witches of East End and as comparing literature; Living Wicca, The Spiral Dance and Witchcraft Today. The methods used for this process are discourse analysis and content analysis. I used theories of Pierre Wiktorin about religion and popular culture. I used three themes (Characteristics, Practice and mode of thinking) for the processing of the material and to structure the result. The results showed that the witches in the TV-series had a lot in common such as they were all women, they were born with their powers and the human life is sacred in comparison to other creatures that exist in the series. The comparison showed that there are significant differences between the witches in the TV-series and the witches in Wicca. Practicing witches within Wicca is part of a religion where rituals are of high importance and the Goddess and God are worshiped. These are the most important discrepancies that are not a part of witches in TV-series. The question about why the series are so similar has been analyzed with theories about moral panic and post-feminism to show how social structures can play a part in how TV-series are written. The conclusions that I have reached is that the witches in the series are portrayed very similar. They are all women, they have inherited their abilities as witches and they keep searching for love and are in a constant battle with evil. Elements that could have effected this portrayal are the theories about moral panic, that discusses the fighting against evil, and postfeminism, that discusses the love aspect and the fact that they are all women. The witches in the series and the witches within wicca are very different. The biggest one is the fact that wicca is a religion that involves rituals for the God and Goddess. This has no part of the portrayal of witches in the TV-series.

Literatura e cultura popular no cristianismo primitivo são apresentadas como temas com o objetivo de analisar, a partir da literatura, cultura e práticas mágicas no Mundo Antigo, a inserção das comunidades cristãs nesse ambiente vital, no geral e, da comunidade de Gálatas, no particular. O objetivo é, através da transdisciplinaridade (teologia, história, antropologia e arqueologia) reconstruir o contexto mágico originário da comunidade gálata, entender as tensões em seu interior e perceber que implicações existem em vincular essa comunidade com o ambiente da magia. O elemento mágico observado é a crença e prática do mau-olhado (baskaíno) que, por conta de processos históricos, como o Iluminismo Europeu, foi obscurecido nas modernas traduções bíblicas e comentários exegéticos. Desvelar, pois, esse filtro de leitura construído pela Modernidade, consiste em redimensionar as frágeis fronteiras entre magia (primitivo) e religião (civilizado), de acordo com a leitura racionalista do século XIX em diante.
Literature and popular culture on the early christianity are presented as subjects and aims to examine, from literature, culture and magical practices in the ancient world, the participation of Christian communities in this vital environment, in general, and the community of Galatians, in particular. The goal is, through transdisciplinarity (theology, history, anthropology and archaeology) to reconstruct the original magical context in Galatian’s community, understand the tensions among them and realize that there are many implications in this community link with the environment of magic. The magical element observed is the belief and practice of the evil eye (baskaíno) that, because of some historical processes, such as the European Enlightenment, was obscured in modern Bible translations and exegetical commentaries. Unveiling, therefore, this filter in built by modernity, is to resize the fragile boundaries between magic (primitive) and religion (civilized), according to the racionalist reading of the nineteenth century onwards.

Abstract:

Business management is characterised by fast and ever–expanding development. Culture and generation play an increasingly important role in the management of businesses worldwide. Although studies have been conducted on the subjects of culture and generation, little attention has been paid to culture and generation as a combination of diversity characteristics. As more managers are realising the challenges that arise when managing diverse work environments, the modern manager must question old assumptions about how diverse people work together. In this modern age, it is important to understand diversity issues on all levels of management. Networks are based on people's backgrounds, and understanding the link between networking and diversity is becoming increasingly important. In a culturally complex country such as South Africa, experiencing the impact of diversity on a daily basis can be anticipated. Culture and generation are two terms that encompass all dimensions of diversity. This study investigates the different networking practices found among diverse cultural and generational groups at a Gauteng mine. The generational classification used in this study is based on the fact that generations differ from country to country; therefore, the classification used in this study is relevant to South African generations. Seven hypotheses were formulated pertaining to differences among cultural and generational groups with regard to networking practices. Furthermore, four cultural–generational groups were identified, namely Black Generation X'ers, Black Baby Boomers, White Generation X'ers and White Baby Boomers. Data was collected from Kusasalethu mine employees. The original sample frame comprised 3630 employees from which a sample was chosen that complied with the criteria for culture, age / generation and education. A total of 1046 employees remained from which the sample elements were chosen by making use of probability, systematic proportionate stratified sampling. Self–completion questionnaires were used for collecting the data. A total of 289 questionnaires were completed which constituted a 100% response rate. The questionnaire used was intended to obtain feedback from respondents regarding their cultural and generational diversity, as well as preferences pertaining to their networking practices. The results from the survey were used to determine the differences between diverse cultures and generations with regards to networking practices. The findings, supported by the rejection of the first null–hypothesis, indicated that there are indeed a number of salient differences between Black Generation X'ers, Black Baby Boomers, White Generation X'ers and White Baby Boomers. Specifically, the results indicated that White Baby Boomers incline to rarely use the medium of SMS when networking while this group also makes use of telephones when networking more often than Black Generation X'ers. Furthermore, Black Baby Boomers more frequently use e–mails when networking while Black Generation X'ers indicated that they rarely use e–mail as network medium. It was found that White Baby Boomers make use of one–on–one face–to–face methods more often when networking than Black Generation X'ers and White Generation X'ers. The largest number of differences was between Black Generation X'ers and White Baby Boomers. The respondents all indicated that they incline to value good relationships at work highly, that they agree that informal work environments are conducive to more effective networking practices, that they frequently have good influences on their families and that they network more during spare time than at work. The results also indicated that the mediums that are used most often when networking include the cell phone and one–on–one face–to–face methods. Respondents tended to rate sharing experiences and exchanging work ideas as very important aims for networking. By dividing diverse workforces into smaller, more manageable units or homogeneous groups, diversity management can be simplified. This is an ability for which managers can be trained and which should be applied correctly within a business environment. In view of the results, it is recommended that managers of diverse workforces should identify different generations and cultures as a way to manage them more effectively. Furthermore, managers should ensure that work environments that are conducive to good relationship building and informality need to be created. Additionally, conflict between Black Generation X'ers and White Baby Boomers should be handled cautiously with a view to ensure that effective solutions are achieved to such conflicts. Preferences with regard to network mediums should be noted, as such awareness may lead to more effective networking / communication within businesses. Management's approach to meetings needs to be reviewed for each group, because differences exist in terms of preferences in this regard. A working environment conducive to exchanging ideas and experiences should be created. Lastly, as all groups value good relationships at work, a climate that encourages openness and conflict resolution should be created.

Abstract:

Feminist theory and research has made a distinction between heterosexuality as a practice and heterosexuality as an institution and the line between the two is an area of confusion and contradiction. Discussions have been hampered by an unnecessary binary that hinders and limits theorising, working to silence the debates from either side, produce unnecessary divisions within feminism and inhibit the development of links between theory and practice. In examining heterosexuality as either an institution or a practice, it has been constructed as dangerous or pleasurable, victimising or agentic, oppressive or liberating, social or sexual. Missing between these two is a link that would suggest how these liberating activities challenge the heterosexual institution or how the analysis of the institution can make a material impact on women's sexual relationships. Women who identify as feminist and heterosexual are situated at the intersection of these two discourses where heterosexuality as an institution is defined as dangerous and oppressive, and heterosex as a practice is seen as pleasurable and liberating. To consider the intersection of institution and practice, the research asked 40 self-identified heterosexual feminists, between the ages of 19 and 68, about their sexual practice in the light both of feminist theorising around heterosexuality and its construction in the media. Taking the media as an institution that may both sustain and reinforce a discourse of heterosexuality, the research explores the mediation of women's heterosexuality and the potential for a feminist practice of resistance through the pleasurable consumption of media images. Employing a broad analysis of the media the thesis adopts a multi-methodological approach in the range of data collected, the methods employed and the analysis undertaken. It addresses three aims. First, to contribute to the wider literature within feminism. about heterosexuality and sexual practice. Second, to understand the role of the media in formulating feminist and heterosexual identities. Third, to consider the use and application of a range of different methods for a feminist cultural politics. Drawing on data from qualitative and quantitative media reviews, a questionnaire study; and diaries, focus groups and telephone interviews with the participants, I discuss the construction of heterosexuality and feminism, and the women's talk about their sexual practice.

Abstract:

Recently foreign and Lithuanian scientists have increased consideration on issues of religion and religiosity. It is admitted the importance to take care of the fact that society under influence of globalization would not lose elements of national and traditional culture and religion would remain significant in public life, especially of young people, and would be influent in social, political and cultural spheres of both traditional and modern society (Ratzinger, Balthasar, Rahner, 2008; Libiszowska-Žoltkowska, 2007; Kreeft, 2011; Ricouer, 2001; Girnius, 2011; Kuzmickas, 2003; Jovaiša, 2009; Aramavičiūtė, 1998; Tijūnėlienė, 2000; etc.).
Žmonijos kultūros istorija yra sukaupusi gana daug empirinių ir teorinių šaltinių, liudijančių, kad religija yra reiškinys, neatskiriamas nuo žmogaus egzistencijos prasmės, jo gyvenimo perspektyvos. Tą patvirtina Šventasis Raštas, iškilūs religijos atstovai, daugelis žymių visų epochų įvairių sričių pasaulio mokslininkų (Tomas Akvinietis, Jonas Paulius II, S. Kierkegaardas, 2011; Frommas, 1992; Jungas, 1998; Franklis, 2007; Maceina, 1990; Šalkauskis, 1990; Kuzmickas, 2003; Jovaiša, 2002; Aramavičiūtė, 1998; Tijūnėlienė, 2009; ir kt.). Tačiau šiandienos pasaulyje sparčiai vykstantys globalizacijos procesai devalvuoja religijos vaidmenį asmens, visuomenės gyvenime. Globaliosios kultūros atsiradimas ir jos plėtra susipriešina ir su tautos tradiciniu tikėjimu, gyvenimo būdu bei tradicinėmis vertybėmis. Tai ypač ryšku šiandieninėje Lietuvoje, kuri, tapusi Europos Sąjungos nare (2004), sparčiai įsitvirtindama Vakarų Europoje ir pasaulyje, tampa atvira ne tik savo politiniais, ekonominiais, sociokultūriniais ir kt. laimėjimais, bet darosi atvira ir globalizacijos lemiamoms sparčiai plintančioms problemoms, kurios susietos su religinėmis, dvasinėmis-moralinėmis vertybėmis.

Abstract:

As they are employed in local government-owned, managed and funded institutions, local authority museum professionals experience their working lives within an organisational framework that is based on high levels of politics and administration (Lawley, 2003). Inherent to this governance model are pressures, constraints and structuring forces that affect the agency and practices of local authority museum professionals, and the makeup of their institutions. However, the literature does not sufficiently attend to the experiences of local authority museum professionals, in terms of their working lives and the distinctive environmental conditions that they operate within. This is especially the case in the contemporary context. Of the museum types, local authority museums have been the hardest hit by austerity (Museums Association, 2015a, 2017a; Tuck et al., 2015), and my research finds out about the experiences of their professionals based on the findings generated from the data of 30 semi-structured qualitative interviews. My research comprehends the interplays between structure and agency, following a trajectory from the micro to the macro, through the perceptions of the participants. It consists of the following investigative format. The first focus was on finding out about the cultures of the participants to learn about their backgrounds, which was achieved by using Bourdieu’s (1984) concept of cultural capital. Learning about their cultures helps to identify whether there was a lack of ethnic and cultural diversity in the profession, and assists in understanding more about the characteristics that underpinned and shaped the practices of the participants. Then, using DiMaggio and Powell’s (1991) concept of isomorphism, the second focus was on finding out about the structuring forces that homogenised the practices of the participants and their museums, albeit in different areas and to different degrees. Deviating away from structuration, the third focus was on the agency of the participants and their manipulation of pressures and constraints in diverse ways, which were potential areas of innovation. Moreover, the experiences of the participants are at the heart of the findings and discussions that are presented throughout my thesis. My research evidences that pressures, constraints and structuring forces, in the form of isomorphic processes (normative, mimetic and coercive), homogeneously affected the practices of the participants and their museums. These processes were caused by other professionals, institutions and organisations, along with policies and communities. On evaluation of the findings, it is concluded that isomorphism was a presence among the museums, and more broadly, local authority museums in the sector, although the findings show that homogenisation had its advantages and disadvantages, which centred on legitimacy and efficiency. Furthermore, the findings show that while the participants were highly restricted in exercising their agency, there were small signs of its presence in their construction of displays and building of community and councillor support. As they would be enduring austerity for the foreseeable future, the participants perceived that building support would help to foster the resilience and sustainability of their museums. On reflection of the findings and discussions that are presented in my thesis, suggestions about where future research and policy need to be directed are made.

Abstract:

My research broadly has two strands. The first has contributed to work on young children’s use of representational practices, showing how children’s drawing activities are grounded in intention and meaning-making in social contexts. In drawing attention to what children do and how they actively use visual representation it added new insights to theoretical work on learning in a socio-cultural framework where learning is understood as participation in social practices; as joint activity, mediated by other people and cultural activities and artefacts. The second strand was based in these understandings of learning but explored, and also developed communicative practices in classrooms and children’s role in decision-making. The research investigated the extent of the children’s democratic engagement and the development of a more democratically participatory space where they can exercise agency both as learners and as participants in democratic communities. This work also contributed in new ways to children’s agency as researchers. I argue that these two strands are inter-related, a position also represented in my sole-authored book (Cox 2011). In relation to development in pedagogical practices across important areas of teachers’ work, including classroom interaction and communication, curriculum and assessment, I argue in this book that principles can be based in socio-cultural ways of theorising learning, as well as in democratic values, suggesting more ‘participative’ (empowered) participation. Using research evidence and argument I show how changes in classroom practices can be appropriated by conventional theorisations of learning (person-to-person accounts) and existing cultures of ‘schooling’, limiting children’s learning. I explore the tensions that arise, especially in a wider context of performance-driven, market-led policies. An underlying theme is that a shift towards socio-cultural understandings of learning might help to resolve these tensions and achieve changes in practices in possibly transformative ways, creating a more educational culture and embracing the idea of children as agents of cultural change. I aim, in the commentary, to convey the thematic connections and contributions across my work in relation to my role as teacher educator as well as researcher.

Abstract:

This practice-based research sets out to investigate and intervene in the tense relationship between the production of socially and politically relevant design work and the socio-economic precariousness many designers experience. Starting from an engagement with the precarious working conditions of designers, their genealogy over the last 30+ years and the role precarisation plays in forming docile creative subjects, the research moves on to a wider critique of the political economy and its precarising value practices. Based on this analysis, it then considers the strategic possibilities of mobilising design practices around commonly produced, used and reproduced resources in order to undo procedures of precarisation. The trajectory of this process of exploration is shaped by a series of practical experiments constructed around the inhabitation of micro-economies of support that allowed for a collective engagement with the issues and strategies researched. These inhabitations took as their starting point the resources my own design practice, Brave New Alps, was offered throughout the course of this research. Thus, they took the form of two shared residencies, one of three months in Warsaw (My castle is your castle) and a second of two months in Milan (Cantiere per pratiche non-affermative), out of which a design collective emerged that still works together. It is the experience of living through these support structures that directs the engagement with theory in order to establish decisive elements to overcome blockages and loops in practice. The core elements that emerged as helpful in moving this research forward were characterised by an engagement with how designers are trained to accept and reproduce the conditions that precarise them, with how this training inserts itself in the wider logic of a capitalist economy and, finally, with how noncapitalist values can serve as points of orientation for constructing de-precarising design practices. In considering these key points, the aim of this research is to provide a series of both conceptual and practical tools for designers that can be mobilised in the creation of economic cultures that defy precarisation within and beyond the field of the profession. However, the research is not primarily concerned with stabilising pre- carious design practices as they are, but rather with creating conditions in which it is possible for designers to imagine and actuate what they could become when not pressured by precariousness to conform to the needs of the market.

Abstract:

Esta dissertação propõe uma reflexão crítica sobre a prática profissional do arquiteto voltada às questões da habitação popular, especialmente a habitação em favelas urbanizadas. Partimos de uma revisão histórica do lugar do arquiteto frente às condicionantes de precarização da moradia urbana, trilhando um percurso bibliográfico e analítico que se inicia nos anos 1930 e chega aos dias atuais: procuramos discutir, num contexto ampliado, as especificidades do envolvimento de arquitetos com o universo da cultura popular e das favelas, o que nos permite situar e entender historicamente a inserção desses profissionais nos hoje consagrados processos de urbanização de assentamentos precários, operados num contexto de reforma direcionada ao mercado e de explicitação e radicalização da insuficiência da aposta estatal em políticas compensatórias para lidar com o déficit habitacional. Como procedimento metodológico, optamos por focalizar algumas práticas recentes de urbanização de favelas: as experiências junto aos núcleos Dois de Maio, em São Paulo (SP), Jardim Olinda, também na capital paulista, e Tamarutaca, em Santo André (SP), incluídos, nos anos 2000, em dois diferentes programas públicos de urbanização - o Programa Bairro Legal , da prefeitura de São Paulo, e o Programa Integrado de Inclusão Social (atual Santo André Mais Igual), promovido pelo poder público andreense -, e de cujos projetos urbanísticos e habitacionais participaram, respectivamente, as organizações USINA Centro de Trabalhos para o Ambiente Habitado / TEIA Casa de Criação (em parceria), GTA Grupo Técnico de Apoio e PEABIRU Trabalhos Comunitários e Ambientais. A pesquisa de campo nos permite entender tanto os desdobramentos históricos do exercício profissional dos arquitetos no enfrentamento da questão das favelas, quanto as potencialidades de transformação da prática contemporânea, tendo em vista o contexto político que envolve Estado, movimentos sociais, técnicos e o conjunto mais amplo da sociedade. A partir da descrição dos casos, procuramos discutir o percurso profissional dos arquitetos nos espaços de diálogo, articulações e vinculações que se estruturaram a partir das especificidades das ações desenvolvidas, suscitando uma reflexão aprofundada sobre questões que dizem respeito à realidade atual das políticas públicas voltadas para a urbanização de favelas e sua relação com a questão dos direitos sociais, o lugar do \'projeto participativo\' neste contexto e a verificação do espaço assumido pelos arquitetos no desenvolvimento dos projetos. Além disso, questionamos os diálogos possíveis e as mistificações em torno da relação entre conhecimento \'popular\' e \'especializado\' e tentamos qualificar as figurações que conformam a prática desses profissionais no cenário atual, de forma a problematizar a \'essência técnica\' da experiência projetual como horizonte crítico para pensar os conteúdos políticos do ofício.
The purpose of this explanation is to bring us a critical reflection about the architectural professional practice pointed out to the questions concerning popular housing, especially the social housing in urbanized slums. We started from a historical revision on how the architect plays its part concerning the circumstances of the continuous precariousness of the urban housing, treading a bibliographic and analytical route that starts in the years 1930\'s and arrives to the present days: approaching the presence of slums in the Brazilian cities, we raise discussions about the practice of the professionals involved with the already consecrate process of urban upgrading of those settlement and also regarding the deficiencies of the performance of the State, that comes gradually betting in compensatory policies to deal with the housing deficit. As a methodological procedure we opted to focusing some recent practices of slum upgrading: the experiences from Dois de Maio and Jardim Olinda centers, both in São Paulo (SP), and Tamarutaca center in Santo André (SP), include in the years 2000\'s in two different public urbanization programs - the program Bairro Legal, of the São Paulo city hall, and the program named Programa de Inclusão Social (currently Santo André Mais Igual), promoted by the Santo André public power - and from whose urbanity and housing projects participated, respectively, the non-governmental organizations USINA Centro de Trabalhos para o Ambiente Habitado / TEIA Casa de Criação (as partner), GTA Grupo Técnico de Apoio e PEABIRU Trabalhos Comunitários e Ambientais. The field research make us possible to understand either the historical evolution of the professional exercise of the architects in the confront of the slums deal, as the potentialities of the contemporaneous practice transformation, taking into account the politic context that involves the State, social activities, technical activities and the amplest set of the society. From the description of the cases, we look for to argue the current reality of the slums upgrading public policies and their relation with the social rights and the importance of the \'participative project\' in the process under studying. Furthermore, we question the possible dialogues and the mystifications around the relation between \'popular\' and \'specialized\' knowledge and we try to discuss the \'technical essence\' of the projective experience of the architects as a critical horizon to think the politic contents of the craft.
