Abstract:

Children’s ability to understand the thoughts, feelings and intentions of other people, is an essential skill for their social interactions with peers and family members. Research has shown that although most young children will have developed a ’theory of mind’ or ability to ’mentalize’ by the time they are around four or five, there are individual differences in children’s understanding of their social relationships. This thesis explores two alternative models of children’s social cognitive processes that are thought to underlie their social interactions and uses a measure of peer popularity as an indicator of how they are functioning in their social world at school. Research findings from the perspective of children’s theory of mind and attachment theory have been significant in shaping our understanding of social cognitive processes and individual differences in social competence. However, because research on these constructs derives from largely separate research perspectives, it is not clear what connections there are between these two models of social cognition, or if their influence on children’s social competence is distinct or overlapping. Participants were primary school children, ranging from 3- to nearly 8-years-old and were assessed in two main studies at different time points to investigate these alternative models of children’s social cognitive processes. The results from study 1 indicated that the coherence of the attachment representations measure (MacArthur Story Stem Battery) namely ’story organisation’ was strongly and directly associated with peer acceptance but that the link between theory of mind and peer acceptance was indirect. In study 2, measures of attachment-related representations were found to be associated with theory of mind skills at baseline and follow up, but this was no longer significant once verbal ability was controlled for. Children’s disciplinary attachment-related representations were found to be associated with teacher-rated problems amongst peers. Also, positive attachment-related representations were found to be associated with teacher-rated pro-social behaviour. Theory of mind, as expected, was found to improve with age and performance at baseline was associated with later performance on these tasks. Verbal ability was found to be significant in children’s performance on theory of mind tasks in all studies. findings in this thesis raise interesting questions about what narrative coherence means in children’s descriptions of their attachment relationships. How this relates to children’s verbal skills, conversations within the family and the way children conceptualise relationships in general is worthy of more detailed study. Clinical implications are drawn from the findings, particularly in relation to the recent developments in Mentalization Based Treatment interventions and the findings lend some support for the use of this intervention with children with poor attachments.

Raynor, Katrina E. "Defining the density debate: Social representations of urban consolidation in Brisbane." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 2017. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/107711/1/Katrina_Raynor_Thesis.pdf.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with understanding the social representations that impact on how stakeholders understand, value and act in relation to urban consolidation, a planning policy designed to increase the density of housing in existing urban areas. The study revealed that urban consolidation is a complex topic that involves associated issues of land use conflict, regional population management, investment and property, home and housing affordability, neighbourhood change and urban renewal. Urban consolidation is a political topic subject to vested interests and often doesn't achieve the positive outcomes for which it is promoted in policy documents.

Tipton, Joshua C. "Teacher Perceptions of Indigenous Representations in History: A Phenomenological Study." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2017. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/3180.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative study addresses teacher perceptions of indigenous peoples representation in United States history. This phenomenological study was conducted within a school district in East Tennessee. For the purpose of this study, teacher perceptions of indigenous representations in history were defined as teacher beliefs towards the inclusion and representation of indigenous peoples in United States history. To gather data, both one-on-one and focus group interviews were conducted from a purposeful sample of United States history teachers from the high schools in the school district. Through an analysis of data derived from interviews and qualitative documents the researcher was able to identify themes such as systemic challenges to multiculturalism within state course standards and textbooks, teachers’ perceived self-efficacy in teaching their students using indigenous perspectives, and the perpetuation of indigenous stereotypes. Furthermore, the qualitative data derived from the study reveals that U.S. history courses in the district perpetuate both the notion of indigenous peoples as historical bystanders and the racial stereotypes of Native Americans. Findings from this study will be useful in evaluating both teacher training and instructional practice in regard to indigenous representations in history.

Abstract:

Numerous studies have shown that culture is a critical factor affecting leadership perceptions. Although these studies provide useful information about cultural differences, they overlook the fundamental difference between East Asians and Westerners, a holistic view versus an analytic view. In addition, these studies are based on methodologies in which verbal or pictorial stimuli are presented by researchers under conditions of high capacity, which does not allow other representational differences to be observed. This study investigates leadership representations in South Korea and the United States based on hypotheses about fundamental differences in social cognitive processing among South Koreans and Americans, as revealed in spontaneously generated visual productions. The results suggest that South Koreans have a holistic view, whereas Americans have an analytic view of leadership representations. Implications and future directions for research on cultural differences in leadership representations are discussed.

Ponciano, Sandoval Renato Giovanni. "Media representations of socioenvironmental conflicts in Guatemala: The case of the hydroelectric expansion." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Padova, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11577/3422673.

Full text

Abstract:

The Guatemalan State demonopolized and privatized the electricity market between 1996 and 2000, with two main justifications: first, that rural electricity coverage, which at the time was less than 50%, was a significant obstacle to human development; and second, that there were large amounts of energy resources, especially hydroelectric, unexploited. The subsequent policies and strategies implemented led to quadruple the installed capacity of the network in twenty years, while private hydroelectric generation grew 6000%. However, the neighbouring rural communities received the hydroelectric expansion with protests because of their impact on water use, associating it with extractive industries such as mining or oil. Although these events have been studied before, the last fact points that a Science and Technology Studies (STS) could provide new insights to understanding them, since this representation of hydroelectricity challenges the conventional view of renewable energy as clean and sustainable in this sense: Why is "clean" technology such as hydroelectricity associated with "dirty" industries like mining? The research objective broadens the scope of the previous question since it proposes to identify the fundamental social actors and processes for understanding the media representations of hydroelectric generation in Guatemala and the effects they have on hydroelectric conflicts. Two parallel investigations were developed to confront results. The first was the cartography of the hydroelectric expansion (Venturini, 2010), based on Actor-Network Theory, “ANT”, (Latour, 2005), and postcolonial theory (Anderson, 2002; Marques, 2006; Escobar, 2004) to account for the influence of the Guatemalan colonial past on conflicts, which occurred in mostly indigenous areas. The second was the analysis of a corpus of opinion articles chosen using the methodology of digital media monitoring (Neresini & Lorenzet, 2014) in Guatemala and Colombia. The analysis of the media representations was based on Social Representations theory, “SRT” (Moscovici, 2000), especially the work done regarding environmental studies (Lovins, 1976; Devine-Wright, 2007; Brondi, Armenti, Cottone, Mazzara, & Sarrica, 2014) and the methodology, the quantitative content analysis based on the "bag of words" model (Roberts, 2000; Tuzzi, 2003). Finally, the results from the previous stages were compared to establish an enriched cartography of the controversy. The analysis of the corpus points to significant differences in the representations of hydroelectricity. In Guatemalan media, the analysis of the corpus resulted on the prevalence of "soft-path" representation of energy transitions, which gives a more active role to the public; while in Colombian media, the texts were more associated with a "hard-path" representation, in which energy is a matter of national interest. As for the cartography, the findings point to the role of actants as Chixoy, the largest hydroelectric power plant in the country, or “El Niño” Phenomenon, in the creation of the legal framework for the de-monopolization of the electric market. At the time, the interaction between these actants and others put at risk the stability of the national electricity network, contributing to emphasize in the new laws the dispositions that guaranteed the electrical supply, even when their public justification pointed to more developmental objectives. By prioritizing efficiency, the socio-environmental costs of the projects were transferred from the corporations to the communities, which fomented the conflict. This finding, which had been overlooked in previous research on the conflicts, shows how methodologies and theories conceived from the Science and Technology Studies field can bring better understanding to this kind of conflicts. Theoretically, this dissertation shows how research that works with combined theoretical approaches can produce results grounded in more evidence from different contexts. In particular, it points to an affinity between SRT and ANT as joint research frameworks that is worth exploring in future projects.
Lo Stato guatemalteco ha demonopolizzato e privatizzato il mercato dell'elettricità tra il 1996 e il 2000, con due principali giustificazioni: prima, che la copertura dell'elettricità rurale, che all'epoca era inferiore al 50%, costituiva un ostacolo significativo allo sviluppo umano; e in secondo luogo, che c'erano grandi quantità di risorse energetiche, specialmente idroelettriche, non sfruttate. Le successive politiche e strategie implementate hanno portato a quadruplicare la capacità installata della rete in vent'anni, mentre la generazione idroelettrica privata è cresciuta del 6000%. Tuttavia, le comunità rurali vicine hanno ricevuto l'espansione idroelettrica con proteste a causa del loro impatto sull'utilizzo dell'acqua, associandola a industrie estrattive come l'estrazione mineraria o il petrolio. Sebbene questi eventi siano stati studiati in precedenza, l'ultimo fatto indica che un’approccio dagli Studi di Scienza, Tecnologia e Società (STS) potrebbe fornire nuove elementi per comprenderli, dal momento che questa rappresentazione di energia idroelettrica sfida la visione convenzionale dell'energia rinnovabile come pulita e sostenibile in questo senso: Perché la tecnologia "pulita" come l'idroelettricità associata alle industrie "sporche" come l'industria mineraria? L'obiettivo della ricerca amplia la portata della domanda precedente poiché propone di identificare gli attori sociali fondamentali ei processi per comprendere le rappresentazioni mediatiche della generazione idroelettrica in Guatemala e gli effetti che hanno sui conflitti idroelettrici. Sono state sviluppate due indagini parallele per confrontare i risultati. La prima è stata la cartografia dell'espansione idroelettrica (Venturini, 2010), basata su Actor-Network Theory, "ANT", (Latour, 2005), e teoria postcoloniale (Anderson, 2002; Marques, 2006; Escobar, 2004) per conto per l'influenza del passato coloniale guatemalteco sui conflitti, che sono emersi in aree prevalentemente indigene. La seconda è stata l'analisi di un corpus di articoli di opinione scelti utilizzando la metodologia del monitoraggio dei media digitali (Neresini e Lorenzet, 2014) in Guatemala e Colombia. L'analisi delle rappresentazioni dei media era basata sulla teoria delle rappresentazioni sociali, "SRT" (Moscovici, 2000), in particolare il lavoro svolto sugli studi ambientali (Lovins, 1976; Devine-Wright, 2007; Brondi, Armenti, Cottone, Mazzara, & Sarrica , 2014) e la metodologia, l'analisi del contenuto quantitativo basata sul modello "bag of words" (Roberts, 2000; Tuzzi, 2003). Infine, i risultati delle fasi precedenti sono stati confrontati per stabilire una cartografia arricchita della controversia. L'analisi del corpus indica differenze significative nelle rappresentazioni dell’energia idroelettrica. Nei media guatemaltechi, l'analisi del corpus ha portato alla prevalenza della rappresentazione "soft-path" delle transizioni energetiche, che conferisce un ruolo più attivo al pubblico; mentre nei media colombiani, i testi erano più associati a una rappresentazione "hard-path", in cui l'energia è una questione di interesse nazionale. Per quanto riguarda la cartografia, i risultati indicano il ruolo degli attanti come Chixoy, la più grande centrale idroelettrica del Paese, o fenomeno "El Niño", nella creazione della cornice legale per la de-monopolizzazione del mercato elettrico. All'epoca, l'interazione tra questi e altri attori metteva a rischio la stabilità della rete elettrica nazionale, contribuendo a enfatizzare nelle nuove leggi le disposizioni che garantivano l'approvvigionamento elettrico, anche quando la loro giustificazione pubblica indicava obiettivi più orientati sullo sviluppo umano. Dando la priorità all'efficienza, i costi socio-ambientali dei progetti sono stati trasferiti dalle corporazioni alle comunità, situazione che ha fomentato il conflitto. Questa constatazione, che era stata trascurata in precedenti ricerche sui conflitti, mostra come le metodologie e le teorie concepite dal campo degli STS possano migliorare la comprensione di questo tipo di conflitti. Teoricamente, questa dissertazione mostra come la ricerca che lavora con approcci teorici combinati può produrre risultati radicati in più evidenze da diversi contesti. In particolare, indica un'affinità tra SRT e ANT come cornici di ricerca congiunti che vale la pena esplorare nei progetti futuri.

Abstract:

Over the last ten to fifteen years, prostitution policies in England have grown increasingly welfarist in tone, stressing the relative victimhood and vulnerability of women who sell sex. This thesis explores important facets of these emergent narratives. Using a qualitative multi-method approach, it investigates the manner in which 21 policy-actors and seven policy documents - principally originating from the English prostitution ‘policy subsystem’ - interpret and represent prostitution. From a methodological perspective, generated findings are explored through the dual interpretative frameworks of critical discourse analysis and sociological frame theory. These frameworks require that localised narratives be contextualised within, and explained by reference to, broader discursive and cultural conditions. In deference to this, findings are situated within rich bodies of academic literature which commentate on, promote and critique various political philosophies, ideological discourses, and critical social theories, such as (neo)-liberalism, a number of feminisms, and Bourdieusian sociology. More specifically, this thesis explores the way 21 policy actors, and four of the selected policy documents, represent the subjecthood of women who sell sex. It approaches this endeavour via discussions of vulnerability, subjectivity/choice, and gender. Here, it concludes that actors and documents draw on, and contribute to, a plurality of complimentary and contradictory ideological discourses, to interpret and represent certain facets of a woman in prostitution’s ‘self’. Substantively, it suggests that - whilst there is a broad consensus regarding the importance of the internal individualism of women who sell sex, and the instrumentality of externalities with regard to shaping her social spaces and ability to choose - questions of gender remain highly contested. Thereafter, this thesis explores the way the same policy-actors, and three distinct policy documents, discursively include/exclude prostitution from violence against women and girls (VAWG) narratives. It begins by exploring how documents and actors define violence in generic terms, and to what degree they adhere to a feminist sociological model when explaining the aetiology and causality of VAWG. It then discusses how prostitution’s relationship to VAWG is framed, and inclusion/exclusion is justified. Here, it concludes that whilst there is a general commitment to the feminist sociological model of VAWG, the question of whether or not prostitution should be included beneath its auspices is highly contentious – pitting classically oppositional coalitions of actors against one another and creating intramural disputes within coalitions themselves. Drawing these strands together, concluding chapters explore framing dynamics. In total, this thesis offers a number of contributions to the fields of prostitution and VAWG policy studies. It demonstrates that while debates in the English prostitution policy subsystem frequently appear to be comprised of two bitterly oppositional ‘advocacy coalitions’, the two groups share multiple areas of ideological consensus, at least with regard to how they understand prostitution. Indeed, more often than not, coalitions differ principally with regard to their prognostic frames and their judgments of material prevalence. In turn, this disrupts extant literature on advocacy coalitions, which suggests that policy-actors organise themselves into groups by reference to their core belief systems, whilst showing a willingness to compromise on secondary considerations. These areas of consensus by no means suggests that matters are straightforward, however. Indeed, this thesis provides evidence that many facets of the prostitution debate are nuanced, complex and ambivalent – that actors entertain and promote contradictory narratives, that coalitions suffer intra-mural fractures over discursive fault-lines, and that framing preferences are strategically engaged. With regard to the last point, this thesis makes a significant methodological contribution to the field of discourse analysis, insofar as it explores the manner in which respondents can be represented as both formed through, and active users of, discourse. It does so by bringing two distinct discourse theories/methods into dialogue with one another. Over and above this, this thesis seizes upon the theoretical opportunities presented when original findings and extant academic scholarship are used to elucidate and develop one another. Most notably it deploys the work of critical social theorists, Martha Fineman and Pierre Bourdieu, to explore new ways in which the harms of prostitution can be conceived.

Full text

Abstract:

Latino im/migrants are often portrayed in negative and stereotypical ways in mainstream U.S. media. This dissertation utilizes Ethnographic Content Analysis to analyze news segments about Latino im/migrants from Fox News, MSNBC and Univisión between 2010 and 2012 and digital storytelling with a group of Latino im/migrant parents in central Florida. First, I questioned if a Spanish-language news media source constructed Latino im/migrant family-focused stories differently than mainstream English-language sources. Utilizing Critical Race Theory as a theoretical lens, I conclude that English and Spanish-language news stations portray Latino im/migrants in different ways. Fox News portrays Latino im/migrants in a generally neutral or negative tone, MSNBC offers a generally neutral or positive tone, and Univisión offers a generally positive tone. Moreover, Fox News generally frames Latino im/migrants as a “problem to be solved” with the implied solution almost always being deportation or exclusion. Univisión generally framed the global, neoliberal, capitalist system that creates the need for mass migration as the “problem” and identified activism and social change as the “solution.” These analyses are supported with evidence from stock video footage from segments that often dehumanizes im/migrants as well as use of rhetoric during segments (namely phrases like “illegal” and “anchor baby”). Second, I questioned if, when offered the opportunity to represent themselves, would Latino im/migrant parents construct images of parenthood that both acknowledge and transcend the mainstream news media discourse? I conclude that the digital stories Latino im/migrant parents created in 2009 represent a broader, fuller picture of Latino im/migrant parenthood and that these stories rely more heavily on lived, narrative experience even after considering the change in format from news segment to digital story. Digital stories provide an effective vehicle for conducting participant observation and ethnography. Moreover, I argue that digital storytelling has the potential to be effective in increasing voice and building capacity for positive social change.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative study examines the relationship between professional group belonging and what individuals deem valuable within the creative partnership projects they carry out together in schools. There were three consecutive stages to the research. The first stage was the phenomenographic analyses of interview transcripts from twenty three teachers and twenty three creative practitioners who partnered each other to run year long projects. The second stage was the aggregation of the resulting forty six analytic outputs into formats permitting inter-group comparisons to be made. This stage included three separate analyses: not only was an individual's professional group belonging shown to impact on what they deemed valuable, but partnership type, i.e. new versus established, also had a substantive impact. The influence of school type was examined and shown to have a lesser effect. The third stage was the use of formal, academic theories to interrogate trends appearing in the results: social identity theory and social representations theory, alongside discursive psychology and readings of identity from cultural studies, were mobilized as consecutive lens on the analytic outcomes. These theories were found to be apposite and a deeper comprehension of creative partnership dynamics was arrived at. This study evidences not only a difference between what teachers and creative practitioners respectively value, but shows how the application of theory is a valuable aid in understanding the variations. This represents a major contribution to the field as the use of formal academic theories does not, as yet, feature in the discourses underpinning creative partnership work.

Abstract:

This research develops the social psychological study of lay perception of human rights and of rights-based reactions to perceived injustice. The pioneering work by social representation theorists is reviewed. Of particular interest is the use of rights-based responses to perceived relative subgroup disadvantage. It is argued that these responses are shaped by the historical development of the legal concept of unique subgroup rights; rights asserted by a subgroup that cannot be asserted by outgroup members or by members of a broader collective that includes all subgroups. The assertion of unique subgroup rights in contrast to individual rights was studied by presenting participants with scenarios suggestive of human rights violations. These included possible violations of privacy rights of indigenous Australians (Study 1), civil and political rights of indigenous Australians under mandatory sentencing schemes (Study 2), privacy rights of students in comparison to public servants (Study 3), refugee rights (Study 4), and reproductive rights of lesbians and single women in comparison to married women and women in de facto relationships (Study 5). The scenarios were based on real policy issues being debated in Australia at the time of data collection. Human rights activists participated in Studies 4 and 5. In Study 5, these activists participated via an online, web-based experiment. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. A social identity theory perspective is used drawing on concepts from both social identity theory and self-categorization theory. The studies reveal a preference for an equality-driven construal of the purpose of human rights law (i.e. that all Australians be treated equally regardless of subgroup membership) in contrast to minority support for a vulnerable groups construal of the purpose of human rights (i.e. that the purpose of human rights law is to protect vulnerable subgroups within a broader collective). Tajfelian social belief orientations of social mobility and social change are explicitly measured in Studies 3-5. Consistent with the social identity perspective, these ideological beliefs are conceptualised as background knowledge relevant to the subjective structuring of social reality (violation contexts) and to the process of motivated relative perception from the vantage point of the perceiver. There is some indication from these studies that social belief orientation may determine construals of the purpose of human rights. In Study 5 the observed preference for using inclusive human rights rhetoric in response to perceived subgroup injustice is explained as an identity-management strategy of social creativity. In Studies 4 and 5, explicit measurement of activist identification was also made in an attempt to further explain the apparently-dominant preference for an equality-driven construal of the purpose of human rights law and the preferred use of inclusive, individualised rights rhetoric in response to perceived subgroup injustice. Activist identification explained some action preferences, but did not simply translate into preferences for using subgroup interest arguments. In Study 5, metastereotyping measures revealed that inclusive rights-based protest strategies were used in order to create positive impressions of social justice campaigners in the minds of both outgroup and ingroup audiences. Ideas for future social psychological research on human rights is discussed.

Abstract:

A tendência no mundo do trabalho contemporâneo tem sido marcada pela flexibilização, pelo gerenciamento pela qualidade e pela mobilização do sujeito a serviço da empresa. Tem-se uma expectativa de que o gestor seja engajado com os objetivos da empresa e mantenha sempre um bom relacionamento interpessoal. Não obstante, para que se tenha um sistema integrado em busca da rentabilidade, muitos gestores se envolvem e tendem a mobilizar suas representações e valores pessoais, seus julgamentos e sua construção social em torno dos objetivos da empresa. OBJETIVO: Este trabalho investigou se a presença e prioridade de valores morais nas representações de si dos gestores estão associadas com o aumento da escolha de juízos de domínio moral para os dilemas pesquisados. MÉTODO: Pesquisa de campo, de natureza exploratória, da qual participaram 30 gestores do ramo varejista. Para a coleta de dados, os instrumentos utilizados foram: Ficha de Identificação (dados dos gestores), Roteiro de entrevista sobre representações de si (na dimensão como pessoa e gestor) e Questionário de dilemas morais (com duas situações hipotéticas). Os dados foram analisados qualitativamente, através de Confiabilidade Dialógica e Análise Independente de Juízes. Também foi realizada análise quantitativa (Análise Estatística Descritiva). RESULTADOS: Nas representações de si os resultados apontaram que os gestores apresentam respostas com conteúdo moral como honestidade, empatia, preocupação com o próximo e justiça. Todavia foi possível encontrar respostas sem conteúdo moral como ser proativo, determinado e alcançar resultados nas empresas. Além disso, compreendeu-se que na dimensão como pessoa os gestores apresentam mais respostas de conteúdo moral do que na dimensão como gestor. Quanto aos resultados dos dilemas morais, os gestores apresentaram em suas respostas conteúdos com princípios morais como cuidar da equipe e prezar pela vida das pessoas; e sem princípios morais como seguir as regras da empresa e prezar pela profissão acima do valor da vida das pessoas. Quando as justificativas são classificadas por domínio, o que prevalece são as respostas de domínio convencional, o que pode significar a expressão da necessidade dos gestores atenderem as demandas organizacionais. CONCLUSÃO: Entende-se, a partir da amostra que quando os gestores seguem uma moral que eles legitimam, respondem as representações de si com conteúdos morais, apresentando em sequência um maior índice de justificativas com princípios morais nos julgamentos dos dilemas. Do mesmo modo, quando possuem representações de si com poucos conteúdos morais, tendem a serem mais convencionais nas respostas aos dilemas. Logo, pode-se afirmar, conforme os resultados, que as representações de si têm implicação sobre os julgamentos pesquisados
The trend in the world of contemporary work has been marked by flexibility, quality management and the mobilization of the person at the service of the company. There is an expectation that the manager is engaged with the company\'s objectives and always maintains a good interpersonal relationship. Nevertheless, in order to have an integrated system for profitability, many managers are involved and tend to mobilize their personal representations and values, their judgments and their social construction around the goals of the company. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether the presence and priority of moral values in managers\' self-representations are associated with the increase in the choice of judgments of moral dominance for the dilemmas surveyed. METHOD: Field research of descriptive exploratory nature in which 30 managers from the retail industry participated. For the collection of data, the instruments used were: Identity Card (managers data), Interview script about selfrepresentations (in the dimension from a person and manager perspective) and Questionnaire of moral dilemmas (with two hypothetical situations). The data were analyzed qualitatively, through Dialogical Reliability and Independent Analysis of Judges. Quantitative analysis was also performed (Descriptive Statistical Analysis). RESULTS: In the representations of themselves the results pointed out that managers present answers with moral content such as honesty, empathy, concern for others and justice. However, it was possible to find answers without moral content such as being proactive, determined and achieving results in companies. In addition, it was understood that in the dimension as a person the managers present more moral responses than in the dimension as manager. As a result of the moral dilemmas the managers presented in their responses contents with moral principles such as caring for the team and cherishing people\'s lives; and without moral principles like following company rules and cherishing the profession above the value of people\'s lives. When the justifications are classified by domain, what prevails are conventional domain responses, which may mean the expression of the need for managers to meet organizational demands. CONCLUSION: It is understood from the sample that when managers follow a morality that they legitimize, they respond to self-representations with moral contents, presenting in sequence a greater index of justifications with moral principles in the judgments of the dilemmas. Likewise, when they have selfrepresentations with little moral content, they tend to be more conventional in their responses to the dilemmas. Therefore, it can be stated, according to the results, that the self-representations have an implication on the judgments researched

Abstract:

Este estudo tem como objetivo uma análise das representações sociais de tráfico de pessoas por profissionais do Direito envolvidos com a implantação da Política de Prevenção e Enfrentamento ao Tráfico de Pessoas no Estado de São Paulo. O tráfico de pessoas é um tema que entrou na pauta das políticas governamentais com a adoção pelo Brasil, no ano de 2004, do Protocolo Adicional à Convenção das Nações Unidas contra o Crime Organizado Transnacional relativo à Prevenção, Repressão e Punição do Tráfico de Pessoas, em Especial Mulheres e Crianças Protocolo de Palermo. O estudo de uma política com foco em Direitos Humanos nos permite uma discussão acerca da atuação dos profissionais do Direito em uma dimensão humanista, possibilitando refletir sobre suas práticas e seus olhares para os sujeitos envolvidos. A teoria das representações sociais é um referencial teórico da Psicologia Social que, entre outras coisas, permite conhecer as formas como determinado grupo transforma um novo saber em algo familiar dentro de um determinado contexto histórico e social. Sua escolha se justifica por entendermos que desvendar o olhar dos profissionais do Direito sobre a Política de Enfrentamento ao Tráfico de Pessoas é passo importante para definir os limites e as potências da atuação dos profissionais na política em questão e, com isso, propor transformações nas respectivas práticas. Para alcançar o objetivo, além de pesquisa bibliográfica sobre direitos humanos e tráfico de pessoas, foram entrevistados oito profissionais do Direito envolvidos com a política de enfrentamento ao tráfico de pessoas no Estado de São Paulo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com a definição de alguns pontos importantes a serem abordados. As entrevistas foram gravadas e a transcrição feita pela pesquisadora, sendo de natureza qualitativa a análise dos dados, que foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Foram estabelecidas categorias encontradas nas respostas dos sujeitos, condizentes com os objetivos do trabalho, sendo encontradas as seguintes: O olhar dos profissionais do Direito sobre si mesmos; Violência como causa e como consequências do tráfico de pessoas; Maiores dificuldades em trabalhar os temas tráfico de pessoas e Direitos Humanos; Os sujeitos/objetos do tráfico de pessoas; Os eixos temáticos e a intersetorialidade da política. Como conclusão, entendemos que a política estudada vem evoluindo desde sua implantação no Brasil e que os profissionais do Direito têm sido protagonistas importantes neste processo, seja como agentes da política, seja como profissionais que levam ao Judiciário as demandas que envolvem o tráfico de pessoas. Em qualquer das dimensões, entendemos ser fundamental que haja uma reflexão sobre a formação desses profissionais nas faculdades de Direito, de modo a possibilitar uma prática comprometida com os ideais dos direitos humanos, com a dignidade da pessoa, com a inclusão social e com a dimensão social do Direito.
The present study aims to analyze the social representations of trafficking in persons by legal practitioners involved on the implementation of the Policy to Prevent and Confront Trafficking in Persons in the State of São Paulo. Trafficking in persons is a subject that started to be discussed on governmental policies after Brazil adopted the Additional Protocol to the United Nation Convention against transnational organized crime related to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, mainly women and children Palermo Protocol, in 2004. A study of a policy focused on human rights allow us to discuss about the performance of legal practitioners in a humanist dimension, enabling reflections about their practices and their point of view about the involved subjects. The social representations theory is a theoretical reference from Social Psychology that, among other things, allows us to know the way how a specific group transforms a new knowledge in to something familiar inside one specific historical and social context. This choice is justified through the understanding that the discover of legal practitioners point of view about the Policy of Confronting Trafficking in Persons is an important step for defining limits and potential involvement from practitioners on this specific policy, and additionally, propose transformations on respective practices. To reach the objective, in addition to the bibliographical research about human rights and trafficking in persons, eight legal practitioners involved with the policy of confronting trafficking in persons on the state of São Paulo, were interviewed. Those interviews were semi structured and some important points to be approached were previously defined. They were recorded and the transcription was made by the researcher. The data analysis were qualitative by nature, data were submitted to content analysis, with establishment of analysis categories founded on subjects responses and corresponding with the aims of the work. The following categories were founded: The point of view of legal practitioners about their selves; Violence as causes and consequences of trafficking in persons; Greatest difficulties on working with topics trafficking in persons and human rights; The subjects/objects of trafficking in persons; The thematic axes and the policys intersectoriality. As conclusion, we understand that the studied policy is progressing since its implementation in Brazil and the legal practitioners have been important actors on this process, as policys agents or practitioners that take to judiciary demands that involve trafficking in persons. In any of the dimensions, we understand the fundamental importance of reflecting about the development of those professionals on Faculty of Law allowing a compromised practice with the Human Rights ideal, with human dignity, with social inclusion and with social dimension from the Right.

Abstract:

The opinion of social workers towards their work with children and young persons was

studied in this essay. Even their point of view with reference to the term the child’s best

interest has being considered and special focus was laid on the social workers attitudes

towards media coverage and its criticism towards their work. A qualitative approach was used

consisted of six interviews. The theoretical frameworks were based on the theory about

freedom of action and the theory of social representations. Our result showed that almost all

of the interviewees felt a relatively high freedom of action in their work within the framework

of the law and other policies and that despite the difficulties this can imply, they still enjoy

working with this target group. Concerning the term the child’s best interest, all of

interviewees said that it is very good that it exists but that it is also difficult to define since it

depends on whom one asks. Nearly all of the social workers thought that media coverage is

one-sided and very negative.

Este trabalho objetiva analisar as representações profissionais de professores do Ensino Fundamental II (EF II) a respeito da identidade docente. Fundamenta-se na Teoria das Representações Sociais/TRS, de Moscovici (1978), em Blin (1997) e Abdalla (2006, 2008, 2016, 2017), para compreender as representações sociais e profissionais desses professores; e em Dubar (1997, 2005), quanto ao estudo da identidade e da socialização profissional; assim como em autores que se dedicam à formação e à prática profissional. A pesquisa desenvolvida se articula com o projeto de pesquisa maior intitulado ¿O Professor do Ensino Fundamental II: políticas, práticas e representações¿, no âmbito do Grupo de Pesquisa/CNPq ¿Instituições de Ensino: políticas e práticas pedagógicas¿, e integra, também, o Centro Internacional de Representações Sociais e Subjetividade em Educação/CIERS-Ed/FCC. Trata-se de um estudo que visa a subsidiar reflexões sobre as ações docentes desenvolvidas nos contextos de formação e de trabalho, de modo a problematizar as políticas, práticas e representações, que configuram a linguagem do campo profissional. A investigação assume uma abordagem qualitativa e se desenvolve, metodologicamente, por meio das seguintes etapas: 1ª aplicação de questionário para 20 professores atuantes no Ensino Fundamental II, contendo 28 questões fechadas; e 2ª entrevistas semiestruturadas com 05 professores, que participaram da etapa anterior, a fim de retomar determinadas questões e aprofundá-las. Os resultados foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo (BARDIN, 2007) e dos referenciais teórico-metodológicos já mencionados, e configuram três dimensões de análise: a identitária, a contextual e a funcional/profissional. A dimensão identitária estrutura algumas das representações profissionais dos professores do EF II a respeito de sua própria identidade docente. A dimensão contextual apresenta reflexões sobre a estrutura e a organização institucional e a influência do contexto de trabalho na constituição identitária dos professores participantes da pesquisa. E, finalmente, a dimensão funcional/profissional busca analisar como o exercício da atividade e a imagem profissional são representados por esses sujeitos. Com efeito, espera-se contribuir com o estudo das relações entre representações, práticas e identidades profissionais em interação com o contexto de trabalho do EF II.
This work aims to analyze the professional representations of teachers of Elementary School II (EF II) regarding teacher identity. It is based on the Theory of Social Representations / TRS, from Moscovici (1978), in Blin (1997) and Abdalla (2006, 2008, 2016, 2017), to understand the social and professional representations of these teachers; and in Dubar (1997, 2005), on the study of professional identity and socialization; as well as authors who dedicate themselves to training and professional practice. The research developed is articulated with the major research project entitled "The Teacher of Elementary Education II: policies, practices and representations", within the scope of the Research Group / CNPq "Teaching Institutions: policies and pedagogical practices", and also integrates, , the International Center for Social Representations and Subjectivity in Education / CIERS-Ed / FCC. It is a study that aims to subsidize reflections on the teaching actions developed in the contexts of training and work, in order to problematize the policies, practices and representations that configure the language of the professional field. The research takes a qualitative approach and is developed, methodologically, through the following steps: 1st application of a questionnaire for 20 teachers working in Elementary School II, containing 28 closed questions; and 2nd semistructured interviews with 05 teachers, who participated in the previous stage, in order to retake certain questions and deepen them. The results were analyzed through the technique of content analysis (BARDIN, 2007) and the theoretical-methodological references already mentioned, and configure three dimensions of analysis: identity, contextual and functional / professional. The identity dimension structures some of the professional representations of EF II teachers regarding their own teaching identity. The contextual dimension presents reflections on the structure and institutional organization and the influence of the work context on the identity constitution of the teachers participating in the research. And, finally, the functional / professional dimension seeks to analyze how the exercise of the activity and the professional image are represented by these subjects. In fact, it is hoped to contribute to the study of the relations between representations, practices and professional identities in interaction with the working context of the EF II.

A dependÃncia quÃmica Ã um problema social relevante na sociedade contemporÃnea, atingindo milhares de indivÃduos, ignorando distinÃÃes de classe social, gÃnero, etnia ou credo religioso. Considerando que a maioria das pesquisas endereÃadas a este fenÃmeno se origina dos saberes mÃdicos e psicolÃgicos, a intenÃÃo desta tese Ã incluir este campo no Ãmbito das ciÃncias sociais, privilegiando uma abordagem compreensiva da dependÃncia quÃmica, analisando-a como um fenÃmeno polissÃmico que possui estreito vÃnculo com o social. Embora este trabalho nÃo menospreze as variÃveis biolÃgicas e psicolÃgicas do objeto, o foco desta pesquisa foi averiguar como determinadas representaÃÃes sociais (pecado, crime e doenÃa) estÃo associadas ao abuso de drogas e influenciam na construÃÃo social de rÃtulos e estigmas relacionados a esta forma de transgressÃo. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada, majoritariamente, em clÃnicas de recuperaÃÃo de dependentes quÃmicos e grupos de ajuda mÃtua como AlcoÃlicos AnÃnimos e NarcÃticos AnÃnimos, utilizando metodologias qualitativas como observaÃÃo participante, entrevista e grupo focal. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram dependentes quÃmicos em processo de recuperaÃÃo, terapeutas, mÃdicos, assistentes sociais, policiais e religiosos, todos envolvidos diretamente com problemas relacionados ao abuso de drogas lÃcitas e ilÃcitas. Constatou-se que a dependÃncia quÃmica Ã cada vez mais definida como uma doenÃa, mas trata-se de uma patologia complexa que tambÃm incorpora representaÃÃes da religiÃo, da moral e do direito penal. TambÃm foi abordada a questÃo da solidariedade entre dependentes quÃmicos, alicerÃada nos pressupostos da dÃdiva, como recurso de recuperaÃÃo e sociabilidade.

The proposal of this research is to collect and analyze the variability of social representations about transsexuality that circulate on the internet according to the trans people themselves. The research was based on the dynamics of use that trans people make of certain digital media, specifically social networks and blogs, as a source of information, sharing, debate and socialization. Therefore, I used the online observation of blogs, pages/communities of Facebook and Youtube channels, wich are constituted as spaces of circulation of speeches about transsexuality. In dialogue with Queer Theory, Gender studies, and other digital media researches I explore the relationship between representations, corporalities, subjectivities as the transsexuality involve a cultura dynamic which is associated with modes of understand/modify bodies and subjectivities.
A proposta dessa pesquisa é recolher e analisar a variabilidade de representações sociais acerca de transexualidades que circulam na internet segundo as próprias pessoas trans. A pesquisa se estabeleceu a partir da dinâmica de uso que as pessoas trans fazem de determinadas mídias digitais, especificamente redes sociais e blogs, como fonte de informação, compartilhamento, debate e socialização. Para tanto, utilizei a observação online de blogs, páginas/comunidades do Facebook e canais do Youtube, que se constituem como espaços de circulação de discursos sobre as transexualidades. Em diálogo com a Teoria Queer, estudos sobre gênero, identificações e outras pesquisas sobre as mídias digitais exploro a relação entre representações, corporalidades e subjetividades, já que as transexualidades envolvem uma dinâmica cultural que se associa a modos de compreender e/ou modificar corpos e subjetividades.

Taking into consideration the teaching context, in which teachers and students are mediated by technological resources, not using the conventional classroom but employing the virtual learning environment (VLE) we reflected on the education modes of delivery issue. The research problem raised the following question: which are students’ Social Representations of Distance and Classroom taught courses? From this question, we started the research which aimed to point out, through analytical reflections, the students’ Social Representations of these education modes of delivery. The study was developed at the Ponta Grossa State University, in the courses Teaching Physical Education, Education, Language and Mathematics which are offered in both modes Distance and Classroom courses. In order to answer our question and achieve our objective, we carried out qualitative research, since we understand that this is the most suitable methodology to this study. For the collection of empirical data, a questionnaire was used, which was applied both in a printed version and online. The theoretical background was based on the Social Representations Theory (SRT) by Sergé Moscovici (1976), since this is a theory related to the common sense knowledge study, which characterizes a set of explanations, beliefs and ideas that enable us to evoke a certain event, person or object. The SR is related to the way the individual thinks and interprets their own everyday life, that is, it is formed by the set of images of a reference system that allows the individual to interpret the information received, reinterpreting their life and giving it some meaning. In order to aid the data analysis, the methodology used was that proposed by Bardin (1977). The results pointed out that there are different SR between students who have classroom taught courses with online subjects and those that have only classroom courses and Distance course students. We emphasize that the SR about time, flexibility, negligence, effort, autonomy, dedication, opportunity and technology are common to all responses given by the teaching courses students participating in the study.
Tendo em vista o contexto de ensino, no qual professores e estudantes estão mediados pelos recursos da tecnologia, não utilizam a sala de aula convencional e sim ambiente virtual de aprendizagem (AVA) refletimos sobre a questão das modalidades de ensino. Tivemos como problema de pesquisa o seguinte questionamento: quais as Representações Sociais de alunos sobre as modalidades de Educação a Distância e Presencial? A partir desse questionamento, começamos a pesquisa que teve por objetivo apontar, por meio de reflexões analíticas, as Representações Sociais de alunos sobre as modalidades de EaD e Presencial. Realizamos a pesquisa na Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa PR, nos cursos de licenciatura em Educação Física, Pedagogia, Letras e Matemática que são ofertados nas modalidades de EaD e Presencial. Para responder ao nosso problema de pesquisa e atingir o objetivo proposto, optamos pela realização de uma pesquisa qualitativa, pois entendemos que seja a metodologia mais adequada à nossa pesquisa. Como instrumento para coleta de dados empíricos, utilizamos um questionário, que foi aplicado nas formas impressa e online. Como referencial teórico, utilizamos a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS) de Sergé Moscovici (1976), por se tratar de uma teoria que está relacionada ao estudo do conhecimento do senso comum, que caracteriza um conjunto de explicações, crenças e ideias que nos permitem evocar um determinado acontecimento, pessoa ou objeto. A RS está relacionada com a maneira de o indivíduo pensar e interpretar seu cotidiano, ou seja, ela é formada pelo conjunto de imagens de um sistema de referência que permite ao indivíduo interpretar as informações que recebe, reinterpretar sua vida e a ela dar sentido. Para subsidiar a análise dos dados, como metodologia de análise utilizamos a proposta de Bardin (1977). Como resultados inferimos que existem RS diferentes entre alunos que fazem curso presencial e tem disciplinas online, alunos que não tem disciplina online e os alunos da EaD. Destacamos que as RS acerca do tempo, flexibilidade, descaso, esforço, autonomia, dedicação, oportunidade e tecnologia são comuns a todas as respostas de alunos de licenciatura pesquisados.

Abstract:

Recent calls from progressive, subaltern and postcolonial geopoliticians to move geopolitical scholarship away from its Western ontological bases have argued that more ethnographic studies centred on peripheral and dispossessed geographies need to be undertaken in order to integrate peripheralised agents and agencies in dominant ontologies of geopolitics. This thesis follows these calls. Through empirical data collected during a period of five months of fieldwork undertaken between October 2014 and March 2015, it investigates the ways through which an Indigenous community of the Canadian Arctic, Tulita (located in the Northwest Territories' Sahtu region) represents geopower. It suggests a semiotic reading of these representations in order to take the agency of other-than/more-than-human beings into account. In doing so, it identifies the ontological bases through which geopolitics can be indigenised. Drawing from Dene animist ontologies, it indeed introduces the notion of a place-contingent speculative geopolitics. Two overarching argumentative lines are pursued. First, this thesis contends that geopower operates through metamorphic refashionings of the material forms of, and signs associated with, space and place. Second, it infers from this that through this transformational process, geopower is able to create the conditions for alienating but also transcending experiences and meanings of place to emerge. It argues that this movement between conflictual and progressive understandings is dialectical in nature. In addition to its conceptual suggestions, this thesis makes three empirical contributions. First, it confirms that settler geopolitical narratives of sovereignty assertion in the North cannot be disentangled from capitalist and industrial political-economic processes. Second, it shows that these processes, and the geopolitical visions that subtend them, are materialised in space via the extension of the urban fabric into Indigenous lands. Third, it demonstrates that by assembling space ontologically in particular ways, geopower establishes (and entrenches) a geopolitical distinction between living/sovereign (or governmentalised) spaces and nonliving/bare spaces (or spaces of nothingness).

O papel da Tecnologia da Informação (TI) no dia-a-dia das organizações torna-se cada vez mais importante e, consequentemente, o papel de seus profissionais. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo principal investigar a percepção dos profissionais de TI brasileiros acerca das competências essenciais que o principal executivo de TI (Chief Information Officer - CIO, em Inglês) atuante no mercado brasileiro deve ter para desempenhar adequadamente suas funções. O levantamento dessa percepção foi feito tendo por base a Teoria das Representações Sociais, por meio do método de evocação de palavras. Por intermédio da análise das percepções, foi possível identificar as competências e compará-las àquelas identificadas na literatura científica.
The role of Information Technology (IT) in organizations day-to-day activities becomes increasingly important and therefore the role of its professionals. The present study aims at investigating the perception of IT professionals about the core competencies the CIOs working in Brazil must have to adequately perform their duties. That perception will be obtained via the Theory of Social Representations, by using the words evoking method. Through the analysis of that perception, the study will identify the afore mentioned competencies and compare them to those identified in the literature.

Abstract:

Este trabalho teve como tema a investigação da relação entre formação continuada a distância e a aquisição de competências profissionais. Como problema de pesquisa questionou-se: um curso de extensão a distância pode agregar competências aos profissionais envolvidos e caracterizar um tipo de educação continuada? Utilizando a metodologia de estudo de caso, o objetivo geral foi avaliar se o curso de extensão “Mediadores de Leitura na Bibliodiversidade”, concebido e oferecido na modalidade EAD, segundo programa de formação da Universidade Aberta do Brasil -UAB, agregou competência profissional aos educadores envolvidos ou não e o porquê. A condução da pesquisa se deu a partir da aplicação de questionário com questões abertas e entrevistas informais semi-estruturadas, ambos com amostra pré-definida. O campo de pesquisa foi definido a partir de critérios quanto ao desempenho de alguns Pólos UAB que ofereceram o curso e também da análise documental do mesmo. Obteve-se um perfil pessoal e profissional dos egressos do curso e, a partir da análise das informações coletadas, buscaremos aperfeiçoar a proposta para próximas edições do curso. A pesquisa também serviu para um feedback qualitativo do curso, uma vez que foi possível detectar, junto ao grupo, se os objetivos do curso foram (total ou parcialmente) atingidos. O objetivo futuro é expandir a pesquisa a outros grupos de Polos envolvidos. A metodologia usada para a análise das informações foi o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo-DSC. A Teoria de Aprendizagem Significativa, de David Ausubel, e a Teoria das Representações Sociais, de Serge Moscovici, foram dois dos pilares teóricos desse trabalho.
This work was based on the investigation of the relationship between distance and continuing education to acquire skills. How research problem is questioned: an extension course distance can add skills to professionals and characterize a type of continuing education? Using the methodology of case study, the overall objective was to evaluate whether the extension course "Mediators in Reading Bibliodiversidade" designed and offered in the EAD, second training program at the Open University of Brazil (UAB), has added to the professional competence educators involved or not and why. The conduct of research was from the application questionnaire with open and semi-structured informal interviews, both with pre-defined sample. The research field was defined using criteria for performance of some Poles UAB have offered the course and also the analysis of the same documentary. This gave a personal and professional profile of the graduates of the course and, from the analysis of the information collected, we will seek to improve the proposal for future editions of the course. The survey also served for a qualitative feedback of course, since it was possible to detect, with the group if the course objectives were (partially) achieved. The future goal is to expand the search to other groups of Poles involved. The methodology used for the analysis of information was the Collective Subject Discourse. The Theory of Meaningful Learning, David Ausubel, and Social Representation Theory, Serge Moscovici, were two of the pillars of this theoreticalwork.

Currently, the inclusion has been discussed by society and especially by education professionals due to the movements and demands for schooling of people with special needs. Inclusion is a process that requires much more than transferring students from the special school to the regular one, because it is about making the student part of the school. In the case of deaf students, it refers to their insertion in society, taking into account that the deaf person has his/her peculiarities, among them, the way of communicating. His/her main communication channel is visualspatial. Deaf students are included in regular schools that follow a pattern based on the integration of all students, they must follow the same pedagogical method, advance at the same pace and be evaluated in the same way. In this sense, to include the deaf student is to propose a process of change, involving all segments of the school environment. Thus, the present work is a case study, which aimed to analyze how the current model of public policies about the education of deaf student materializes in the social representations of teachers who teach in a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in Goiás in 2016. In order to comply with the proposal, a qualitative-quantitative research was used through the application of questionnaires, interviews and documentary analysis. The methodological approach used was the Theory of Social Representations (TRS), based on the understanding that the deaf student in the case study belongs to several social groups, including the deaf, who are victims of exclusion processes in school settings. To carry out the research, the concept of "Inclusion" was analyzed from the studies of Maria Teresa Mantoan, the approach of Theory of Social Representations in the view of Serge Moscovici and the learning and deaf culture in a perspective of Ronice Quadros and Karin Strobel.
Atualmente, a inclusão vem sendo discutida pela sociedade e especialmente pelos profissionais da educação devido aos movimentos e às exigências em favor da escolarização das pessoas com deficiência. A inclusão é um processo que requer muito mais do que transferir alunos da escola especial para a escola regular, pois trata se de fazer com que o aluno seja parte da escola. No caso dos surdos, referese à sua inserção na sociedade levando em consideração que o surdo tem suas peculiaridades, entre elas, a forma de se comunicar. Seu principal canal de comunicação é visual-espacial. São incluídos alunos surdos em escolas regulares que seguem um padrão baseado na integração de todos os alunos, estes devem seguir o mesmo método pedagógico, avançar no mesmo ritmo e serem avaliados da mesma forma. Nesse sentido, incluir o aluno surdo é propor um processo de mudança, envolvendo todos os segmentos do ambiente escolar. Assim, o presente trabalho é um estudo de caso, que objetivou analisar como o modelo atual das políticas públicas voltadas para a educação do aluno surdo se concretiza nas representações sociais dos professores que lecionam em uma Instituição do Ensino Superior (IES) do interior de Goiás no ano de 2016. Para cumprir a proposta, foi utilizada a pesquisa quali-quantitativa, por meio de aplicação de questionários, entrevistas e análise documental. A abordagem metodológica utilizada foi a Teoria das Representações Sociais (TRS), a partir da compreensão de que o aluno surdo do estudo de caso pertence a vários grupos sociais, entre eles, os surdos, que são vítimas dos processos de exclusão nos ambientes escolares. Para realizar a investigação, foi analisada a concepção de “Inclusão” a partir dos estudos de Maria Teresa Mantoan, a abordagem da Teoria das Representações Sociais na visão de Serge Moscovici e a aprendizagem e cultura surda na perspectiva de Ronice Quadros e Karin Strobel. Os resultados desta pesquisa foram tratados a partir da análise da instituição de ensino superior, análise dos professores e análise do aluno surdo. Esses resultados demonstraram que não houve um processo de inclusão e sim de integração.

Abstract:

En psychologie sociale de la santé, l’analyse des dimensions psychologiques et sociales en jeu dans la construction des risques sanitaires constitue un enjeu à la fois théorique et pragmatique. En articulant le cadre théorique des représentations sociales (Apostolidis, 2006) et celui de la Terror Management Theory (TMT, Solomon, Greenberg, & Pyszczynski, 1991), la recherche proposée vise à étudier les liens entre l’induction d’un état d’anxiété et la mobilisation de raisonnements symboliques face au risque du sida. Quatre expériences ont été réalisées (N = 520, 221 hommes et 299 femmes, mâge = 21,1). Elles consistaient à rendre saillante l'idée de mortalité (versus un thème neutre) chez les sujets, puis à leur faire lire un scénario de relation sexuelle socialement normé (avec ou sans délai), et enfin, à leur demander d'évaluer la valence sentimentale de la relation décrite et le risque du sida lui étant associé. Les résultats montrent que le risque perçu varie en fonction de la valence sentimentale attribuée, qui elle-même varie en fonction du facteur délai. Ce fonctionnement sociocognitif est par ailleurs modulé par le sexe des participants, et par l'induction expérimentale : d'une manière générale, le délai est davantage valorisé par les femmes et par les sujets de la condition « mortalité », sauf en cas de convictions religieuses ou spirituelles. Les principaux résultats corroborent ainsi ceux de la littérature consacrée à la TMT. Nous les discuterons dans la perspective théorique des représentations sociales et nous poserons leur implication par rapport à la prévention du risque du sida
In social psychology of health, the analysis of psychological and social dimensions involved in health risks construction represents a major both theoretical and pragmatic issue. The current research proposes to articulate the social representations approach (Apostolidis, 2006) and the Terror Management Theory (Solomon, Greenberg, & Pyszczynski, 1991) in order to study the links between an induced state anxiety and the mobilization of symbolic reasoning concerning HIV risk perception. In our four experiments (N = 520, 221 men and 299 women, age mean = 21.1), after death thoughts (versus a neutral theme) were made salient, participants were asked to read a socially normed sexual relationship script (with or without “delay”), and then were asked to evaluate the sentimental valence of the relationship described and the HIV risks associated with it. Results showed that perceived risks depend on the sentimental valence attributed, which itself depends on the “delay” factor. This sociocognitive functioning is also modulated by gender, and by experimental inductions : in general, waiting before having sexual intercourse is more valued by women and by mortality salience condition participants, except when they have religious or spiritual beliefs. Our main results thus support those derived from TMT. These findings are discussed in a social representations perspective, and their practical implications are examined in relation to HIV risk preventive actions

Drug abuse and addiction has been regarded as a major public health matter which has transcended social boundaries, leading society to a major concern. In this context, we find crack cocaine, a drug that came up in the 1990 s in Brazil, bringing along strong dependence and rapid damages to its users mental, organic and social health. In order to understand the psycho-social factors that are involved when it comes to its use, we sought to know and analyze the social representations elaborated by drug-addicts in relation to crack cocaine, drug-users and treatment. As a theoretical support, the Social Representations Theory was utilized in the perspective of structural and dimensional approaches. This is a descriptive research of qualitative characteristics which was held in a psychiatric institution in the city of João Pessoa. The sample was made up with 30 under-treatment male crack users. The instruments used were: a socio-demographic questionnaire which was analyzed through the simple frequency calculus and percentages; The Association Free from Words, with the tags crack cocaine , drug users and treatment , analyzed by the program EVOC; and a semi-structured interview, which was analyzed through Bardin s Thematic Content Analysis. Such instruments were applied individually inside the institutional environment, with a recorder and with all ethical precautions that are required for research with humans. A negative representation of crack cocaine was noticed in that it is personalized in the figure of the Devil with powers to destroy its users life and society in general, causing great sadness. Moreover, crack cocaine was perceived as something that takes over the individual thoroughly, causing them to be passive and weak in relation to it. Still, it was concluded that the drug user is accounted as someone not trustable, addicted, valueless, ill, characterless, and held responsible for the destruction of the family. Such an assumption leads to a number of implications, for social representations have a status of truth, guiding the subjects conduct. Thus, this negative representation over themselves may damage these users self-image, affecting their self-esteem and their capacity for fighting against drugs, making it difficult for them to succeed in their treatment as well as their social reinsertion. It was also observed that the treatment s social representation brings up a blaming approach by which the subject is practically considered to be the one guilty for remaining in the condition of addiction. With such results, the need for a change in these social representations was verified, with the comprehension of drug use as a multi-causal phenomenon and the recognition of a drug user as a citizen, with rights, duties and needs. We expect, with this research, to provide scientific data which will help authorities to create public policies turned to this problematic issue.
O uso abusivo de drogas tem sido considerado um problema de saúde pública, que vem ultrapassando todas as fronteiras sociais, preocupando toda a sociedade. Nesse contexto encontra-se o crack, que surgiu na década de 1990 no Brasil, causando forte dependência e prejudicando rapidamente a vida mental, orgânica e social dos seus usuários. A fim de compreender os fatores psicossociais que envolvem este consumo, objetivou-se conhecer e analisar as representações sociais elaboradas por dependentes químicos acerca do crack, dos usuários de drogas e do tratamento. Como suporte teórico foi utilizada a Teoria das Representações Sociais, na perspectiva das abordagens dimensional e estrutural. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de cunho qualitativo, que foi realizado em uma instituição psiquiátrica de João Pessoa-PB. A amostra foi composta por 30 usuários de crack, em tratamento, do sexo masculino. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: um questionário sociodemográfico, o qual foi analisado através do cálculo de frequências simples e porcentagens; a Associação Livre de Palavras, com os estímulos "crack", "usuário de drogas" e "tratamento", que foi analisada a partir do programa EVOC; e uma entrevista semiestruturada, que foi analisada por meio da Análise de Conteúdo Temática de Bardin. Os instrumentos foram aplicados no ambiente institucional, de forma individual, com o uso de gravador, tomando-se todos os cuidados éticos que envolvem a pesquisa com seres humanos. Verificou-se uma representação negativa do crack, em que ele é personificado na figura do Diabo, tendo o poder de destruir a vida de seus usuários e da sociedade em geral, gerando grande tristeza. Além disso, o crack foi percebido como algo que domina o indivíduo inteiramente, tornando-o passivo e impotente diante da droga. Constatou-se ainda que o usuário de drogas é representado como alguém não confiável, viciado, sem valor, doente, que não tem caráter e que é responsável pela destruição da família. Tal percepção acarreta uma série de implicações, pois as representações sociais possuem status de verdade, guiando as condutas dos sujeitos. Neste sentido, essa representação negativa sobre si mesmo pode prejudicar a autoimagem desses usuários, afetando sua autoestima e sua capacidade de enfrentamento às drogas, o que pode dificultar o sucesso do seu tratamento, bem como a sua reinserção social. Observou-se, também, que a representação social do tratamento apresenta um enfoque culpabilizante, em que o sujeito é considerado praticamente o único responsável pela sua permanência na condição de dependente. Diante dos resultados encontrados, verificou-se a necessidade de mudança dessas representações sociais, com a compreensão do uso de drogas como um fenômeno multicausal e o reconhecimento do usuário de drogas como um cidadão, com direitos, deveres e necessidades. Espera-se, com esta pesquisa, fornecer dados científicos que possam auxiliar os órgãos competentes na formação de políticas públicas voltadas para esta problemática.

Abstract:

This dissertation investigates how Jewish women social scientists relationally established their gendered-racialized subjectivities and theories about race-gender-sexuality-class through their portrayals of black women’s sexuality and family structures in the African Diaspora: the U.S., Brazil, South Africa, Swaziland, and the U.K. The central women in this study: Ellen Hellmann, Ruth Landes, Hilda Kuper, and Ruth Glass, were part of the same “political generation,” born in 1908-1912, coming of age when Jews of European descent experienced an ambivalent and conditional assimilation into whiteness, a form of internal colonization. I demonstrate how each woman’s familial origin point in Europe, parental class and political orientations, were important factors influencing her later personal/professional networks and social science theorizing about women of color. However, other important factors included the national racial context, the political affiliations of her partners, her marital status and her transracial fieldwork experiences. One of the main problems my work addresses is how the internal colonization process in differing nations within the Jewish diaspora differently affected and positioned Jewish social scientists from divergent class and political affiliations. Gendering Aamir Mufti’s primarily male-oriented argument, I demonstrate how Jewish internal divergences serve as an example that highlights the lack of uniformity within any “identity” group, and the ways that minority groups, like Jews, use measures of “abnormal” gender and sexuality, to create internal exiled minorities in order to try to assimilate into the majority colonizing culture. My dissertation addresses three problems within previous studies of Jewish social scientists by creating a gendered analysis of the history of Jews in social science, an analysis of Jewish subjectivity within histories of women (who were Jewish) in social science, and a critique of the either-or assumption that Jewishness necessarily equated with a “radical” anti-racist approach or a “colonizing” stance toward black communities. The data collection followed a mixed methods approach, incorporating archival research, ethnographic object analysis, site visits in Brazil and South Africa, consultations with library, archive and museum professionals, and interviews with scholars connected to the core women in the study.

Abstract:

Recently, the ‘Smart City’ label has emerged as a popular umbrella term for numerous projects around the world that claim to offer an enhanced urban experience, often provided in collaboration with international companies through private-public partnerships. As smart cities pledge to create long-term economic sustainability and progressive form of urban entrepreneurialism, it is getting important to highlight risks such as the reduced role of the public sector, technological dominance and data privacy.In contrast to more a conventional, long-term, holistic master planning, a technologically pre-determined form of Smart City endangers the emancipator usage of public spaces as spaces of diversity, creativity, inclusive citizen participation and urban sustainability.This research approaches the concept of Smart Cities as a future category and, thus, targets to develop a comprehensive visual analysis based on architectural representations in the form of computer-generated images (CGI’s). The Quayside project, a notable and widely criticized urban development project, by Sidewalk Toronto, a cooperation between Waterfront Toronto and Sidewalk Labs which is a sister subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., has been selected as Smart City case study as. Visual analysis was conducted by using the theoretical frame advocating ‘Coordinating Smart Cities’ in contrast to ‘Prescriptive Smart Cities’ by Richard Sennett. In addition to Sennett’s concept of ‘Incomplete Form’, Jan Gehl’s ‘Twelve Quality Criteria’ was used as coding categories to elaborate the content analysis which was followed by semiological and compositional interpretations. Visuals have been investigated in three sequential sets and analyzed focusing on time-based comparative frequency counts for sets of visuals. Concentrating on how future public spaces are illustrated, the study aims to uncover and to discuss how Smart Cities are being imagined and advertised.

As a social representation is known to be parted into central and peripherical systems (abric, 1994 ; flament, 1994) its evolution has been experimentaly studied in a first research by questionning peripheral system elements through a committing act and a forced compliance situation (kiesler, 1971 ; beauvois et joule, 1981). In a short term, that is immediatly after the experimental handling a central system modification with a return one month later to be balanced state has been found. By contrast, peripheral elements are modified both in the short and long term. In a second research peripheral and central elements have been questionned by individual as wellas group of committed subjects. Results revealed a central system stability whereas the peripheral system is modified. The first and the second researches results underpin the theorical assumptions which defended the idea that the peripheral system can be modified more easily than the central system. As to conclud, social representation remains stable and it is hard to modify it in experimental situation

This work has, as indicated on its subtitle, the aim to be a contribution to the Didactics of History. Taking into account the conception that the Didactics of History should perform a own field of studies that allows a better integration between the formal research of academicals History and its school version, this study proposes to investigate one of the main components of this new paradigm to the science of History: the historical consciousness. Between the many aspects of the historical consciousness we assumed the premise that some of its components are not completely conscious by the individuals or collective agents when this general process of human on the time acts on the acquisition and use of the historical experience. Being the historical consciousness an open structure to the experience and symbolic form that give its mean, we searched for an epistemic access to this phenomenon by a theoretical collisions process with other two fields: the social representations and the ideology. Starting from this dialogue we build our empirical research instrument, based on the focus groups technique, in with we gave the privilege to two axis of analysis: one about “the idea of history” that explores what High School students think about the concept of “history” and another about he “meaning of history” used to try to understand the notion on the investigate groups about history as a process. From this investigation we can detach two results that reinforced the need for comprehension about the concept of historical consciousness to the teaching of History. The evidence that the investigated groups take the history, by one side, as a process that unite the three dimensions of time, similarly to the philosophical concept of “historical world”, and that they attribute, mainly, a decadence sense to the civilization, generally in a fatalist way. The catalytic element of this vision is notion of time, which permeates the “idea of history” and a relation of deep ambivalence with the technology used as a parameter to think “meaning of history”. The constitution of History as an academicals discipline as well is displacement in relation to its school version is analyzed with the Thomas Kuhn’s concept of “paradigm” or “disciplinary matrix”. Our conclusions try do detach the importance to work in direction of a new paradigm on the science of History which takes in account the needs for orientation that in fact begins outside of the field of the science and, assuming this conception, must return from the science in form of existential orientation to be able to dialogue with the quotidian philosophy of history.
Este trabalho tem, como indica seu subtítulo, o intuito de ser uma contribuição para a Didática da História. Partindo da concepção de que a Didática da História deveria compor um campo próprio de estudos que permita uma maior integração entre a pesquisa formal no campo da História acadêmica e a História ensinada nas escolas, ele se propõe a investigar um dos principais componentes desse novo paradigma para a ciência da História: a consciência histórica. Dentre os vários aspectos da consciência histórica assumimos a premissa que alguns de seus componentes não são plenamente conscientes dos agentes individuais e coletivos quando esse processo geral de orientação da ação humana no tempo atua na aquisição e uso da experiência histórica. Sendo a consciência histórica uma estrutura aberta às experiências e às formas simbólicas que lhe dão sentido, buscamos o acesso epistêmico do fenômeno por meio de uma colisão teórica com outros dois campos: o das representações sociais e da ideologia. A partir desse diálogo construímos nosso instrumento de pesquisa empírica, baseado na técnica dos grupos focais, em que privilegiamos dois eixos de análise: um sobre a “idéia de história”, que levanta questões acerca do que os alunos do Ensino Médio pensam a respeito do conceito de “história” o outro sobre o “sentido da história” onde problematizamos a noção que os grupos investigados têm sobre a história como processo. Dessa investigação sobressaíram dois resultados que reforçam a necessidade da compreensão do conceito de consciência histórica para o Ensino de História: a constatação de que os grupos investigados entendem a história, por um lado como um processo que une as três dimensões do tempo, similar ao conceito filosófico de “mundo histórico” e de que atribuem, predominantemente, um viés de decadência da civilização de forma geralmente fatalista. Os catalisadores dessa visão são a noção de tempo, que permeia a “idéia de história” e uma relação de profunda ambivalência com a tecnologia que lhes serve de parâmetro para pensar “sentido da história”. A constituição da História como disciplina acadêmica, bem como sua decalagem com o ensino escolar da disciplina é analisada por meio dos postulados de Thomas Kuhn acerca da idéia de “paradigma” ou “matriz disciplinar”. Nossas conclusões procuram ressaltar a importância de se trabalhar em direção a um novo paradigma da ciência da História que leva em conta as demandas por orientação que se iniciam fora do campo da ciência e que, nesta concepção, devem se encaminhar como orientação existencial também para fora dela dialogando com a filosofia cotidiana da história.

The initiative to create a virtual community has given to Brands the possibility of approaching the consumer and understands how the interactions occur between them, to the point of creating a grupal identity and a commitment in the light of experiences. However, the creation does not guarantee that consumers will be willing to have these same experiences with the brand and its products, but will make noticeable a standardization of behavior that leads to consume, based on cultural dimensions that involve local, rituals, artifacts, affection and shared awareness, giving rise to a tribe of consumption. Thus, to analyze the process that takes a virtual community of consumption to behave as a tribe, this study appropriated qualitative procedures to capture individuals' speech patterns, obtained by the use of netnography, reflecting the sense of e-tribe. These individuals were selected from the intensity of their interactions in the virtual community chosen, defined as Insiders and Devotees, where, in Social Representations Theory, the process of Anchoring generated their collective opinion, giving rise Discourses of Collective Subject to that evidenced in peladeiro.com.br community, a tribe behavior depending on the peladas (informal soccer games) and not exactly the brand sponsor of the virtual community. The data were analyzed by analysis of collective opinion with the help of software Qualiquantisoft, which allowed the generation of anchors forming DCS s (Discourses of Collective Subject) who responded to the research objectives. The results generates to the academic and managerial environments another approach in studies of virtual brand communities and the opportunity to understand the relationship of tribe that involves consumption and consumers so that these perspectives bring knowledge in marketing that provide balance in the exchange system . The study brings in its findings the elements found in the social relations of a virtual community that make this community a tribe. The limitations of the study that are offered at the end of work, can be seen as opportunities to expand knowledge both in the field of Marketing Theory as involved.
A iniciativa de criar uma comunidade virtual tem dado às marcas a possibilidade de se aproximar do consumidor e entender como se dão as interações entre eles ao ponto de criarem uma identidade de grupo e um compromisso em função das experiências vivenciadas. No entanto, a criação não assegura que esse consumidor estará disposto a ter estas mesmas experiências com a marca e seus produtos, mas fará perceptível a padronização de um comportamento que o leva a consumir, baseado em dimensões culturais que envolvem locais, rituais, artefatos, afetividade e consciência compartilhada, dando origem a uma tribo de consumo. Deste modo, para analisar o processo que leva uma comunidade virtual de consumo a se comportar como uma tribo, este estudo apropriou-se de procedimentos de natureza qualitativa para captar dos indivíduos padrões de discurso, captados pelo uso da Netnografia, que refletem o sentido de e-tribe. Tais indivíduos foram selecionados a partir da intensidade de suas interações na comunidade virtual escolhida, definidos como Imersos (Insiders) e os Devotos (Devotees), em que, na Teoria das Representações Sociais, o processo de Ancoragem gerou a sua opinião coletiva, dando origem aos Discursos do Sujeito Coletivo que evidenciaram, na comunidade peladeiro.com.br, um comportamento de tribo em função das peladas e não propriamente da marca patrocinadora da comunidade virtual. Os dados foram estudados através da análise da opinião coletiva com o auxílio do software QualiquantiSoft, que permitiu a geração as ancoragens formadoras dos discursos do sujeito coletivo que responderam aos objetivos da pesquisa. Os resultados geram ao meio acadêmico e gerencial mais uma abordagem nos estudos das comunidades virtuais de marca e a oportunidade de entender a relação de tribo que envolve o consumo e os consumidores de forma que estas perspectivas busquem no Marketing conhecimentos que propiciem o equilíbrio no sistema de trocas. O estudo traz em seus achados os elementos encontrados nas relações sociais de uma comunidade virtual que transformam essa comunidade em uma tribo. As limitações do estudo, que são propostas ao fim do trabalho, podem ser encaradas como oportunidades de ampliação do conhecimento tanto no campo do Marketing quanto da Teoria envolvida.

The aim of this research was to find out how do students understand the action field concept of Organizational Psychologists. Also how students in their professional practices represented the possibility of making interventions concerned to the improvement of social organizations as well as individuals This research has been developed with Psychology students from private university in Sao Paulo Brazil and it was based on the Social Representation Theory. To understand the Organizational Psychology phenomenon, as the social representation object, meant, above all, to identify the mechanisms that certain groups use to integrate this object (action field concept of Organizational Psychologists) and other mechanisms already presented in their knowledge (anchorage) as well as to identify the images and expressions that the groups materialize in their object s communication process (objetivação).The data were obtained from questionnaires and from an exercise of free associations evocations from three words were analyzed : Psychology, Psychologist and Organizational Psychology The content analysis of students response to the questions was made by the processing of the ALCEST (Alceste Computer Program) .and the analysis of frequency and order of evocations realized by the EVOC software . The results show that the social representation of Organizational Psychology by the students of Psychology is homogeneous and suggests a concept based in helping and listening attitude. Ethical considerations are nuclear to the speech of students. Conventional practices are peripheral of such representation. Conclusions point out that, although the results show in some extent that the social representation, by students of Psychology is been built in the direction of a more significant social participation, those improvements shall be accelerate to cope with the transformation of organizations in a globalized world
Este projeto tem como objetivo investigar a Representação Social de alunos de Psicologia sobre a Psicologia Organizacional, e a partir dessa representação social procurar entender como se apropriaram do conceito de campo de atuação do psicólogo e de oportunidades de atuação profissional e, ainda, como representam, na sua prática, a possibilidade de uma contribuição motivada por uma responsabilidade social transformadora. Assume como foco de investigação o discurso desses alunos e fundamenta-se na teoria das Representações Sociais. A coleta dos dados, a partir de um questionário com 3 (três) perguntas abertas, teve a análise de conteúdo desenvolvida pelo Programa ALCESTE. Um exercício de associação livre com as palavras indutoras Psicologia, Psicólogo e Psicologia Organizacional teve seus dados analisados pelo programa EVOC. Os resultados apontam para uma consistência e homogeneidade do discurso deste grupo de alunos e sugerem uma visão de psicologia que é claramente voltada para a atuação clínica numa função de ajuda e por uma predisposição à escuta. As considerações éticas se fazem presentes, assim como as referências aos aspectos de posicionamentos ideológicos, embora de maneira superficial. Finalmente aparecem alusões às práticas convencionais de psicologia organizacional e perifericamente às atuações mais sociais e com alcance ao maior número de indivíduos. Os dados sugerem que a representação social de psicologia organizacional está em construção na direção de uma atuação social mais relevante e a uma vinculação ao contexto globalizado e dinâmico, e as conclusões procuram estabelecer alguns parâmetros para a revisão dos tópicos de formação deste profissional

Abstract:

La inmigración internacional es uno de los fenómenos mundiales más importantes, complejos e inquietantes en la época actual a consecuencia de su crecimiento y de los retos sin precedentes que afronta: económicos, políticos, sociales, culturales, morales, demográficos, ecológicos. Su estudio requiere ser abordado desde visiones diferentes pero complementarias. En este sentido, nuestra investigación tiene como objetivo identificar y analizar, desde una perspectiva cualitativa e interdisciplinaria –análisis del discurso, psicología social y ciencia política–, el imaginario sociodiscursivo de inmigrantes latinoamericanos en Catalunya, a través de un corpus instituido mediante el uso de la técnica cualititativa grupos de discusión, en el que reunimos a 53 inmigrantes latinoamericanos (en 9 agrupaciones) para que conversaran en torno a los objetivos, motivaciones de su migración, sus experiencias, opiniones y apreciaciones acerca de la sociedad de acogida, de los autóctonos y de los propios inmigrantes, además de sus demandas, anhelos e ideales en la vida social dentro de la sociedad catalana. Hallamos en el imaginario que la integración de los inmigrantes latinoamericanos en la sociedad catalana significa ser reconocidos y estar en las mismas condiciones de igualdad de derechos y obligaciones sociales, culturales, económicas y políticas con respecto a los autóctonos.
In the current era, international immigration is one of the most important, complex and disquieting phenomenon world-wide. As a consequence of its growth, it confronts challenges in the field of: economies, politics, societies, cultures, morals, demographics and ecologies. The study needs to be discussed from different, but complementary points of view. In this sense, our investigation has the goal to identify and analyze, from a qualitative and interdisciplinary perspective – discourse analysis, social psychology and political science – the imaginary socio-discourse of Latin-American immigrants in Catalonia. Through an institutionalized sample, composed with the help of the qualitative discourse group technique, we united 53 Latin-American immigrants (arranged in groups of 9) in order that they alternately speak about their objectives and motivations of their immigration, their experiences, opinions and appreciation with regard to the chosen society, both autochthons as well as the own view of immigrants. In addition we discuss their demands, ambitions and ideals in social life within the Catalan society. We found in the study of imaginary that the integration of Latin-American immigrants in the Catalan society needs to be recognized and it should have the same conditions of equalities before the law, social obligations, cultural, economic and politic equalities with respect to autochthons.

Abstract:

La presente tesis doctoral expone los resultados de una investigación cuya base empírica es un conjunto de esculturas de piedra con forma de cabezas del yacimiento arqueológico de Chavín de Huántar. Una porción apical tallada conjuntamente con la litoescultura, indica un contexto de uso original exclusivo en la mampostería megalítica externa, algunos de cuyos representantes in situ muestran un empleo estandarizado en el tercio superior de los principales edificios de un complejo arquitectónico monumental, ubicado en un estrecho valle intermontano de los Andes Centrales, con una vigencia temporal que ha sido datada entre los 1200/500-400 cal ANE. Este conjunto de objetos, proveniente de una colección museográfica y de una dimensión temporo-espacial arqueológicamente muy compleja, permite problematizar algunos aspectos teórico-metodológicos medulares empleados tradicionalmente en el estudio arqueológico de las representaciones figurativas. Desde un punto de vista teórico general, se considera que el interés en el estudio de las representaciones figurativas arqueológicas, no reside en su singularidad, sino en que, como toda materialidad social, en primera instancia deriva de la concreción del trabajo humano. Luego, a nivel sustantivo, se argumenta que su interés específico refiere a que su existencia deriva de necesidades sociales de carácter político-ideológico o, simplemente, idiosincrático, cuyos factores explicativos no se encuentran en un plano de identidad con tipologías de organización social, sino que ésta debe ser entendida caso a caso, toda vez que las evidencias disponibles de la producción y reproducción de la vida social que las solicita, permita poner en relación la producción y uso de las representaciones figurativas en una situación histórica concreta. El desarrollo de dichos puntos de partida teóricos condujo a tres preguntas principales: ¿Cuál fue el nivel de la estandarización de la producción de las esculturas? ¿Permite la existencia de estandarización, si es que la hubiese, identificar un trabajo especializado? Si es que se trata de un trabajo especializado ¿admite compatibilidad con otras actividades de subsistencia o tiende a la exclusividad? La integración de los resultados arrojados por distintos análisis sobre las propiedades físicas y figurativas de las litoesculturas, muestran un alto grado de estandarización que se ve reforzado por la presencia de dos principales grupos de representación excluyentes. Una revisión de los antecedentes de algunas técnicas de talla directa en piedra escultórica, los resultados obtenidos de los análisis sobre el conjunto de objetos y su integración en distintas fases constructivas de un nuevo proceso de producción arquitectónica, sugiere que dicha estandarización derivaría de una producción especializada, posiblemente acompañada de una institucionalización de los sistemas de transmisión de conocimientos lo que, sumado a las evidencias arqueológicas disponibles de la producción y reproducción de la vida social, podrían reforzar la hipótesis relativa a una concentración de la dominación de la producción intelectual por parte de grupos minoritarios, cuyo compás de beneficio económico aún requiere de mayores pruebas empíricas.
This Doctoral Thesis presents the results of an investigation that has an empirical basis/research on the Ancient Chavin civilisation who had an archaeogical site with a set of stone sculptures shaped heads. An apical portion together with carved stone sculpture and a unique context indicates original use in megalithic masonry, some of these representatives in situ show a standardised form in the upper third of the main buildings of monumental architectural complex jobs. These monoliths are located in a narrow inter mountain valley in the Central Andes dating back to between 1200/500-400 BC. This doctoral's research is based on a set of objects from a museum collection and on an archaeologically complex temporo- spatial dimensions. Therefore this aims to question some core theoretical and methodological aspects traditionally used in the archaeological study found in the figurative representations. From a general theoretical point of view, it is argued/hypothesised that the interest in the study of archaeological figurative representations stems from all social materiality. In the first instance it is believed that this is derived from the realisation of human labour. Then at a substantive level it is argued that their specific interest concerns which derives it's existence from the social needs of political-ideological or simply idiosyncratic, whose explanatory factors are not in a plane of identifying types of social organisation but it must be understood on a case by case basis. Since the available evidence of the production and reproduction of social life is symbolised/reflected in the productions and use of the figurative representations in a particular historical situation in a relationship. The development of these theoretical starting points lead to three main questions:1) What was the level of standardisation of production of the sculptures?2) Does the existence of standardisation would allow it to identify it as a skilled job?3) If this is a specialised job would that be considered as compatable with other subsistence activities or be considered as exclusive? The integration of the results obtained from different analysis of the physical and figurative stone sculptures of properties indicates a high degree of standardisation that is reinforced by the presence of two main groups of exclusive representations. A review of the history of some techniques of direct carving in stone sculptures. The results of the analysis on the set of objects and their integration in different constructions phases of a new process of architectural production, suggests that such standardisation result from a specialised production possibly accompanied by the institutionalisation of knowledge transfer systems. In addition with further archaeological evidence found for the production and reproduction of social life available, could further strengthen the hypothesis of a concentration of the domination of intellectual production by minority groups, whose economic benefit would still require empirical evidence.

Abstract:

Denna studie undersöker hur samverkan upplevs fungera mellan skola, socialtjänst och Barn-och ungdomspsykiatri (BUP) som möter barn med psykisk ohälsa i samverkansmöten. Studien bygger på sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med två skolkuratorer, två socialsekreterare samt två kuratorer från BUP. Empirin har analyserats med innehållsanalys och har därefter tolkats genom Sociala representationer och Institutionell teori. Resultatet består av kategorierna Möjligheter med samverkan, Svårigheter med samverkan, Ansvarsfördelning, Sätt att främja samverkan och sist Sociala representationer. Resultatet visade att det som fungerade bra med samverkan var att det fanns tydliga rutiner och ansvarsområden samt att aktörerna lärde sig om varandras professioners sätt att tänka utifrån deras olika kompetenser. Resultatet visade att det inte existerade någon maktobalans mellan professionerna men att det kunde förekomma i deras handlingsförmåga. Det som kunde påverka samverkan negativt var resurshinder inom de olika organisationerna. Intervjupersonernas synsätt om varandra var positivt i övergripande bemärkelse och det framkom att det fanns åsikter om varandra som påverkade samverkan positivt. Slutsatsen är att samverkan genom samordnad individuell plan (SIP) haft en positiv utveckling för samverkan, då den gett möjlighet att träffas och få kännedom om varandras organisationer, kompetenser och ansvarsområden. Aktörernas olika organisatoriska förutsättningar ledde ofta till att det uppstod olika tolkningar om hur ett socialt problem skulle tolkas och lösas, vilket bidrog positivt till en helhetsbild av en klients situation.
This study aims to investigate how the collaboration between Social services, Child and adolescent psychiatry (BUP) and School are being perceived regarding children with mental ill-health. The study is based upon six semi-structured interviews with two school social workers, two social service workers and two counselors from BUP. The results has been analysed with content analysis and thereafter interpreted through Social representations and Institutional theory. The emerging categories were: Possibilities with collaboration, Difficulties with collaboration, Responsibility distribution, Ways to improve collaboration and Social representations. The results showed that what was perceived as a positive collaboration was distinctive routines, clear areas of responsibility and to learn about each of the professions way of thinking, as they have different expertise. The results also showed that it did not exist a balance of power, but that it could affect their professional ability to act. What could affect the collaboration negatively was the difficulty of resource management within the organizations. The view the participants had of each other was generally positive, and it did exist thoughts of each other in some way affecting the collaboration. The conclusion is that collaboration through Specialized individual plan (SIP) has had a positive effect, as it has given the opportunity for professionals to meet and get knowledge about each other’s organizations, competences and areas of responsibility. The participants different organizational conditions often led to different interpretations on how a social problem should be interpreted and solved, which contributed positively to an overall picture regarding a client’s situation.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar e analisar as abordagens dos jornais Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo na cobertura do tráfico de animais silvestres entre 2010 e 2014. Todos os 254 textos publicados no período foram lidos e analisados. O mercado negro de fauna e a cultura do criar espécimes silvestres como bichos de estimação foram detalhados para contextualizar o problema. Técnicas quantitativas foram utilizadas para a classificação dos textos em categorias (tipos de abordagens). Dez categorias foram identificadas e os textos agrupados, permitindo concluir que tanto da Folha de S. Paulo quanto O Globo dão preferência à cobertura de ações de fiscalização e repressão ao tráfico de fauna. A Análise Crítica do Discurso de Norman Fairclough, teorias do Cotidiano de Agnes Heller e Michel de Certeau e a Teoria das Representações Sociais de Serge Moscovici foram o suporte da análise qualitativa e a base teórica da pesquisa. Quinze textos de oito categorias foram qualitativamente analisados. Seis principais representações sociais foram destacadas, com destaque para: animal silvestre pode ser criado como bicho de estimação, o Estado é incompetente na gestão da fauna silvestre e a repressão resolve o problema do tráfico de fauna. A aplicação da Análise Crítica do Discurso encontrou elementos que corroboram as representações sociais identificadas. A conclusão foi que os dois jornais (bem como o Estado brasileiro) reforçam a ideia de que se pode criar silvestres como bichos de estimação, desde que os animais tenham origem legal, e que a repressão é a melhor forma para desestimular o tráfico conceitos que discordamos. Folha de S. Paulo e O Globo não contribuem efetivamente para a construção de uma nova cultura que ajude na redução do comércio ilegal de animais silvestres e não auxiliam no processo de modificações de representações sociais para gerar impacto no tráfico de fauna.
This research aimed to identify and analyze the approaches of the Folha de S. Paulo and O Globo newspapers in the coverage of wild animals trafficking between 2010 and 2014. All 254 texts published in the period were read and analyzed. The black market of fauna and the culture of creating wild specimens as pets were detailed to contextualize the problem. Quantitative techniques were used to classify texts into categories (types of approaches). Ten categories were identified, and the texts were classified, allowing to conclude that both Folha de S. Paulo and O Globo prefer to cover actions of inspection and repression of wild animals traffic. Critical Discourse Analysis of Norman Fairclough, Agnes Heller\'s and Michel de Certeau\'s theories of Daily Life, and Serge Moscovici\'s Theory of Social Representations were the basis of qualitative analysis and the theoretical basis of the research. Fifteen texts from eight categories were qualitatively analyzed. Six main social representations were highlighted, with emphasis on: wild animal can be reared as a pet; State are incompetent in the management of fauna and repression solves the problem of wild animals trafficking. The application of the Critical Discourse Analysis found elements that reinforce the identified social representations. The conclusion was that the two newspapers (as well as the Brazilian State) reinforce the idea that wild animals can be created as pets, as long as the animals are of legal origin, and that repression is the best way to discourage trafficking - concepts that we disagree with. Folha de S. Paulo and O Globo do not contribute effectively to the construction of a new culture that helps to reduce the illegal trade of wild animals as well as do not provide any aid in the process of modifications of social representations to generate impact in the traffic of fauna.

Abstract:

Our criminal justice system works very hard to prevent criminals from harming other individuals; however, unfortunately mistakes happen. One wrongful conviction is one too many. There are multiple factors that can be assumed to be the cause of wrongful convictions. However, due to the lack of directly related research, the determents are not well established. The following research addresses wrongful convictions as a result of public defender representation. Through the process of theory construction, the research uses critical race theory and social disorganization theory to show the relationship between court appointed representation and wrongful convictions. A new theory is also established that is referred to as the partial load reduction theory. This theory establishes the relationship that exists between wrongful convictions and public defender representation and provides solutions as well as new avenues for future research.

Abstract:

I följande arbete kombineras Social Representation Theory (SRT) med kvantitativ innehållsanalys när politiska facebookgrupper undersöks. Fyra grupper och tolv inlägg och 164 kommentarer undersöks. Den kvantitativa innehållsanalysen visar att samtalsklimatet på politiska facebookgrupper är hårt och ganska elakt. Dessutom präglas grupperna av en viss enhällighet vad gäller åsikter och en av fyra grupper bedöms vara en ekokammare. SRT-analysen undersöker sociala representationer och visar att strategin objektifiering är den som förekommer oftast på politiska facebookgrupper. Objektifiering handlar om att göra det okända känt genom förenklande jämförelser. I exempelvis diskussioner om Sveriges covid-19 strategi så jämförs äldre svenskar med offerlamm i ett försök att kritisera Sveriges covid-19 strategi. Objektifiering förekommer även när socialism som ideologi kritiseras genom att likställas med kommunism. En annan SRT-strategi som förekom ofta var motsats förankring, vilket innebär att grupper ställs mot varandra, som när gruppen papperslösa invandrare (ej att tycka synd om) jämfördes med fattigpensionärer (att tycka synd om).
In the following work, Social Representation Theory (SRT) is combined with quantitative content analysis when political Facebook groups are examined. Four groups and twelve posts and 164 comments are examined. The quantitative content analysis shows that the conversational climate on political Facebook groups is harsh and rather nasty. In addition, the groups are characterized by a certain unanimity in terms of opinions and one in four groups is judged an echo chamber. The SRT analysis examines social representations and shows that the objectification strategy is the one that most often occurs on political Facebook groups. Objectification is about making the unknown known through simplifying comparisons. In discussions about Sweden's covid-19 strategy, for example, older Swedes are compared to sacrificial lambs in an attempt to criticize Sweden's covid-19 strategy. Objectification also occurs when socialism as an ideology is criticized by being equated with communism. Another SRT strategy that often occurred was opposing anchoring, which means that groups are pitted against each other, as when the group of undocumented immigrants (not to feel sorry for) was compared to poor pensioners (to feel sorry for).

Abstract:

The increasing presence of sustainability in multiple contexts of today’s societies has led to the phe- nomenon of proliferating representations of the term. A lack of consensus towards the terminology within theory and media representations formed the base for uncertain understandings in public. Corre- spondingly, this supports the argument for investigating the public’s representation of sustainability to contribute knowledge about the current understanding of the term in public. As a platform for open and globalized communication, social media, Instagram in specific, is considered as the research field for investigation. In detail, this analysis aims to investigate large-scale user-generated data with the ‘#sus- tainability’ on Instagram as the research context, to provide knowledge on the users’ representation of the phenomenon. A mixed-method approach of computational and human-driven qualitative and quan- titative content analysis enriched the scope of the analysis to an amount of 50.000 Instagram posts. Correspondingly, the analysis of over 770.000 co-occurred hashtags within the posts allowed a contex- tualization of the phenomenon to key themes represented by the platform’s users. According to framing and agenda-setting theory as theoretical frameworks of this thesis, the findings reveal a dominant fram- ing of sustainability from an environmental perspective, in correlation to the current media agenda. Moreover, the results disclose four key meta-frames, indicating dominant patterns of representing sus- tainability in the context of Eco-Efficiency, Accountability, Consumerism, and Identity. In addition to that, the findings revealed primarily positive framing towards sustainability by the public.The theoretical contribution is an analytical investigation of sustainability representation on Insta- gram, whereby co-occurred themes help to guide further initiatives to improve behavior change and the shift towards a sustainable future.

Abstract:

This thesis aims to describe how Western tourist websites represents India. Although there has been much research on tourism and Western representation of India, no literature is available on how Western tourist websites represents India. This thesis uses three theories, social constructivism, post-colonial theory, and representation theory. Social constructivism is the base for this thesis. Post-colonial theory is used to find out whether the representation of India includes colonial stereotypes or no. Moreover, the representation theory is the center and the main tool to know and explain how Western tourist websites represents India. The design used is a 'case study' as case study design is compatible to explore the representations of India. The method used is a 'qualitative discourse analysis' which helps to provide a critical analysis of the description of India. Main results of this thesis are that Western tourist websites describe Indian economy as a backward economy. It is unclear whether Indian politics is described as undemocratic or democratic. Indian people are described as a mix of traditional, modern, unfree as well as free people. Indian culture is described as ancient and collective.

Abstract:

This qualitative study examined the social representations of work values among nine Swedish students of Generation Y. As the oldest working generation retires, the labor market requires a major adjustment. To facilitate the transition of Generation Y into the labor market requires employers’ knowledge of young peoples’ work values and vision of working life. Strong common values between participants were explained by social representations, which mean they had collective perceptions that were based on the similar influences that affect them as a group and have affected them during childhood. This qualitative study examined nine students who study at Jönköping University and are part of this new working generation. The result was generated by doing semi-structured interviews that was explored by a thematic analysis. The study foremost examined the social representations of the centrality of work, altruistic values, intrinsic values, extrinsic values, social values, leadership, and flexibility. Of the categories with associated factors measured, results showed for instance that development opportunities, social values and the variation of work were distinctive values among Generation Y graduates. Results also showed that balancing leisure with work was of great importance.

Abstract:

L’ampleur du phénomène du retour des jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger et la rareté des contributions scientifiques restent les principaux catalyseurs de s’aventurier dans cette démarche de recherche. Dans cette perspective, nous avons opté pour une étude centrée sur la réussite de la mobilité internationale des jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger par le biais des représentations sociales. Elle a pour enjeu d’enrichir les avancées de recherches sur la mobilité internationale, et d’apporter des réponses pratiques et tangibles aux nombreuses questions qui se posent au sein du monde des entreprises et des affaires.Notre question de départ se compose de deux volets principaux. Le premier s’intéresse à la compréhension du contenu de la représentation sociale de la réussite de la mobilité internationale de notre population d’étude. Le deuxième volet propose de déterminer les variables qui expliquent cette réussite. Pour répondre à la problématique de ladite recherche, nous avons subdivisé cette étude en deux parties. La première éclaire les théories et concepts inspirés de disciplines variées. Elle traite, par la suite, de la formulation des hypothèses et la présentation du modèle de recherche. La deuxième partie met en exergue les apports empiriques au travers de deux études d’investigation. Primo, nous avons réalisé une étude qualitative menée auprès de trente-deux responsables d’entreprises et experts opérant dans le monde des affaires au Maroc. Secundo, nous avons effectué une étude quantitative destinée aux jeunes diplômés marocains formés à l’étranger. En définitive, nous avons obtenu deux cents quatre-vingt seize réponses à notre questionnaire.Les résultats de notre recherche apportent de diverses implications managériales, notamment sur le plan de la compréhension de la substance de la réussite des jeunes diplômés formés à l’étranger et la détermination des facteurs les plus significatifs expliquant cette réussite
The magnitude of the return of young Moroccan graduates trained and scarce scientific contributions remain the main catalyst to adventurer in this research process. In this perspective, we opted for a study focusing on the success of the international mobility of young Moroccan graduates trained through social representations. Its challenge to enrich advanced research on international mobility and to provide practical and tangible answers to the many questions that arise in the business world.Our initial question consists of two main components. The first is interested in understanding the content of the social representation of the success of the international mobility of our study population. The second proposes to determine the variables that explain this success. To address the issue of such research, we divided the study into two parts. The first illuminates the theories and concepts inspired from various disciplines. It deals later, the formulation of hypotheses and the presentation of the research model. The second part highlights the empirical knowledge through two field studies. First, we conducted a qualitative study of thirty-two companies and consultants working in the business world leaders in Morocco. Second, we conducted a quantitative study for young Moroccan graduates trained. Ultimately, we got two hundred ninety-six responses to our questionnaire.The results of our research provide various managerial implications, especially in terms of understanding the essence of successful graduates trained and determination of the most significant factors behind this success

Sport media has been a known producer of traditional gender images that reflect inequality between sexes. Sport media has been studied endlessly, but one aspect that has not fostered as much attention is sport media, advertising, and children. Sports Illustrated for Kids is the only sport media print magazine for children, with a readership age of 8-15 years old. Images and gender stereotypes have been used continuously by advertising companies to sell products to consumers. Children in particular cannot accurately determine between content that is meant to inform and content that is meant to sell. This study examined whether editorial and advertising images in Sports Illustrated for Kids reflects actual participation rates of athletic activities based on gender in issues from the past decade. Utilizing past research, this study looked at overall numbers and stereotypes by examining factors such as state of dress, photo angle, and motion in photograph. Findings show that females are still under and misrepresented in SIK. Even so, findings of this study suggest representation of women in team neutral sport such as soccer and basketball is on the rise. Findings could have implications for SIK's young readership as well as highlight a need for more education about advertising and editorial practices being implemented.

Abstract:

Les travaux présentés dans cette thèse s'intéressent aux liens existant entre la théorie des représentations sociales (RS) et celle de l'identité sociale (TIS). Malgré la littérature sur la théorie des représentations sociales et celle de l'identité sociale peu de recherches ont permis de mettre en évidence les liens, de ces deux champs théoriques constitutifs de la psychologie sociale. Les objectifs de cette thèse consistent d'une part à étudier le rôle des processus identitaires dans la construction des représentations sociales, et, d'autre part, à estimer l'importance du rôle des représentations sociales dans la dynamique du groupe et les relations intergroupes.On se propose d'éprouver l'hypothèse qui postule que les éléments centraux d'une représentation sociale sont constitutifs de l'identité sociale des membres du groupe. Doise (1999) définit l'identité comme un principe qui gère les relations intergroupes et qui pour cela utilise le vecteur des représentations sociales. L'approche structurale elle pose que les représentations sociales fonctionnent comme des structures sociocognitives régulées par complémentarité de deux systèmes:les cognitions centrales et les cognitions périphériques. Au travers TIS, et des différents processus sociocognitifs relatifs à cette dernière, on se propose de manipuler expérimentalement les différents processus constitutifs de l'identité d'un groupe au travers du prisme des représentations sociales. Autrement dit, nous nous intéressons à l'effet de la manipulation des éléments centraux dans le cas, notamment, du processus de comparaison sociale, des normes sociales ainsi que de l'effet brebis galeuse
This thesis refers to the existing links between the social representation (SR) theory and the social identity (TSI) theory. Little research work has highlighted the contribution between these two theories and showed the reciprocal provisions of these two and constituting theoretical fields of social psychology. This thesis consist in supporting a correlation between the role of self-defining processes in the building of SR on one hand, and the importance of SR on the dynamics of the group and of the intergroup relations on the other hand. In this frame the purpose is to test the hypothesis that the central elements of a social representation are constituting of the social identity of the members of the group. Doise (1999) defines identity as a principle which manages intergroup relations and therefore uses the vector of SR.However,the structural approach puts down that social representations work as social cognitive structures regulated by the complementarity of two systems: central and peripheral cognitions.The individuals have a full knowledge to belong to a definite social group with a framework of reference,common representations. Thus,through the theory of TSI and through the various socio-cognitive processes related,this research is to handle in experiments of the various processes constitutive of the group identity through the prism of SR.In the effect of handling the central elements in the case, in particular,of the process of social comparison, the social norms as well as the black sheep effect. According to any logic resulting from the central core theory, the handling of central elements of a SR should not unbalance the identity of the group
Os trabalhos apresentado desta tese se interessam às relações existentes entre a teoria das representações sociais (RS) e a da identidade social (TIS). Apesar da abundante literatura sobre a teoria das representações sociais e sobre a da identidade social, poucas pesquisas realçam as relações, bem como as contribuições recíprocas destes dois campos teóricos constitutivos da psicologia social. Os objectivos científicos desta tese suportam a interação entre, por um lado, o papel dos processos identitários na construção das representações sociais, e por outro, a importância das representações sociais na dinâmica do grupo e nas relações intergrupais. Neste sentido, através de diferentes experimentos, propomos testar a hipótese de que os elementos centrais de uma representação social são constitutivos da identidade social dos membros de um grupo. Doise (1999) define a identidade como um princípio gerador das relações intergrupais e que, para isto, utiliza o vector das representações sociais. A abordagem estrutural, por sua vez, propõe que as representações sociais funcionam como estruturas cognitivas reguladas pela complementaridade de dois sistemas: o das cognições centrais (caracterizado por seus aspectos consensuais que asseguram a perenidade da RS) e as cognições periféricas (submetidas às variações interindividuais). Os indivíduos têm plena consciência de pertencer à um grupo social definido, com um quadro de referência e representações comuns. Desta forma, a partir da teoria da identidade social (TIS) e dos diferentes processos sociocognitivos à ela relacionados, propomos manipular experimentalmente os diferentes processos constitutivos da identidade de um grupo partindo do prisma das representações sociais. Ou seja, nos interessamos aos efeitos da manipulação dos elementos centrais sobre, nomeadamente, os processos de comparação social, as normas sociais, e o efeito ovelha negra. De acordo com a lógica da teoria do núcleo central, a manipulação dos elementos centrais de uma representação não deveria desequilibrar a identidade grupal

Abstract:

This research explores the process of integration of IDPs into the host communities in Ukraine from Communication for Development perspective. It aims to examine integration process in the context of representation and participatory communication theories. The objectives of this research are threefold. Firstly, it explores the concept of “successful” or finalized integration. Secondly, it investigates existing stereotypes and myths about IDPs in Ukrainian society through the lens of representation theory. Thirdly, it examines promising participatory communication projects in Ukraine aimed at countering these stereotypes. The research is based on semi-structured interviews with IDPs, representatives of host communities, employees of international development organizations and NGO, producer of TV-show and the author of the performance about IDPs. The research finds that establishment of social contacts and engagement into the life of the new community is key to successful integration and that stereotyped perception of IDPs in Ukrainian society comes not from interpersonal experience, but from media and political context and more participatory communication projects are needed for countering it.
