O pernambucano Othon Lynch Bezerra de Mello tornou-se proprietário de quatro fábricas de tecidos no decorrer da década de 1920, todas no estado de Pernambuco. O empresário fez fortuna nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, momento de grande expansão dos negócios em direção aos estados do Rio de Janeiro, local em que adquiriu a Companhia Agrícola e Industrial Magalhães, rebatizada de Fábrica Esther, Minas Gerais onde foi instalada a Fábrica de Tecidos Maria Amália e Alagoas onde adquiriu a Fábrica Fernão Velho, rebatizada de Fábrica Carmen. A venda e fabricação de tecidos nesse período garantiram a Bezerra de Mello um grande acúmulo de capitais com os quais decidiu diversificar os negócios. Na década de 1940, o Grupo Othon se constituía de duas Companhias Têxteis: o Cotonifício Othon Bezerra de Mello e a Companhia de Fiação e Tecelagem Bezerra de Mello, além de usinas de açúcar e investimentos na produção de energia, agropecuária e seguros. Nos anos de 1940, o industrial decidiu investir também no ramo da hotelaria, utilizando, para tanto, o capital acumulado no setor têxtil, de onde surgiria a imponente Rede de Hotéis Othon. Para além da construção de uma história empresarial, esta tese representa o esforço de pôr em evidência as estreitas relações entre industrialização, trabalho, política e sociedade, utilizando como um dos recursos elucidar e interpretar aspectos dos modos de vida e visões de mundo dos trabalhadores e do empresário, em suas formas autônomas e institucionalizadas, verificando-se em um período considerável de tempo as mediações entre sua experiência cotidiana e a presença como classe na cena política nacional.
Othon Lynch Bezerra de Mello became the owner of four textile mills during the 1920s, all in the state of Pernambuco. The entrepreneur made his fortune in the 1930s and 1940s, a time of great expansion of business toward the states of Rio de Janeiro, where they acquired the Company for Agricultural and Industrial Magellan renamed Factory Esther, Minas Gerais where the factory was installed fabrics Maria Amalia and Alagoas where Ferdinand acquired the Old Factory, renamed Carmen. The sale and manufacture of fabrics that period ensured the Bezerra de Mello a large accumulation of capital with which decided to diversify the business. In the 1940s, the group was made up of two Othon Companies Textiles: The cotton mill Othon Bezerra de Mello and Spinning and Weaving Company Bezerra de Mello, besides sugar and investments in energy, agriculture and insurance. In the 1940s, the industry also decided to invest in the hotel business, using for this purpose, the accumulated capital in the textile sector, where the stately arise Network Othon Hotels. Apart from building a business history, this thesis represents the effort to highlight the close relationship between industrialization, labor, politics and society, using as a resource to elucidate and interpret aspects of lifestyles and worldviews of workers and the entrepreneur, in their autonomous and institutionalized forms, checking into a considerable period of time mediations between their everyday experience and presence in class as national political scene.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Wine farms in the Western Cape represent one of the pillars of the region's economy. The social problems that are prevalent among farm workers and their families have evolved over centuries along with the wine industry; the unique set of social, economic, and political conditions affecting rural dwellers in the Western Cape have created a set of challenges impeding a productive future. The interventions at Solms-Delta Wine Estate have empowered the farm community and thus provide a template for social reform. Capacity development initiatives have been central to the farm's management plan. The employment of a fulltime social worker allowed resource gathering to implement social reforms on the farm. The present study investigated the evolution of an approach that encompasses the social development perspective of social work theory. This study is an example of the methods used to bring about stronger community development capacity. The goal of the study was to gain an understanding of the nature of capacity-building initiatives on the wine farm under review from a social development perspective. A review of the historical roots of farm worker subjugation was undertaken to uncover the social dynamic of farm worker community development. Secondly, the study has outlined the political, economic, and legal institutional parameters for rural development. A third strand of the narrative describes the nature of capacity-building initiatives undertaken over the preceding six years, and their impact on the social development of the target community. Finally, the study explored the impact of local capacity development via a semi-structured questionnaire and subsequent interviews with the twenty-one participants. The results of the research outlined in this study provide a number of templates for social work interventions in rural communities on wine farms in the Western Cape. Given the centrality of the wine farm industry in the Western Cape, the success of social welfare initiatives at Solms-Delta delineates road maps for other community-based programmes that can be launched from the lessons of this study. The locality development model, with its emphasis on community input in problem solving provides a framework for countering the unique set of challenges created from the inception of colonialism up to the end of Apartheid social engineering. The empowering environment developed at Solms-Delta offers insight into rolling back historical ills and entitlement issues that bedevil social work practice. Successful community participation requires research into specific community dynamics and the resources to empower one of South Africa's most impoverished social strata.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wynplase in die Wes-Kaap vorm een van die pilare van die streek se ekonomie. Die maatskaplike probleme wat onder plaaswerkers en hul gesinne voorkom, het oor die eeue heen saam met die wynbedryf ontwikkel. Dit behels die unieke kombinasie van sosiale, ekonomiese en politieke omstandighede met betrekking tot die landelike bewoners van die Wes-Kaap, wat 'n uitdaging stel en 'n produktiewe toekoms belemmer. Die intervensies op die Solms-Delta wynlandgoed bemagtig die gemeenskap op die plaas en bied dus 'n voorbeeld vir sosiale hervorming. Kapasiteitsontwikkelingsinisiatiewe is sentraal tot die bestuursplan van die plase. Die aanstelling van 'n voltydse maatskaplike werker was 'n belangrike addisionele hulpbron om sosiale hervorming op die plaas te bewerkstellig. Die huidige studie ondersoek die evolusie van 'n benadering wat die sosiale ontwikkelingsperspektief van maatskaplike-werkteorie betrek. Hierdie studie is 'n voorbeeld van die metodes wat gebruik kan word om 'n sterker kapasiteit vir gemeenskapsontwikkeling te ontwikkel. Die doel van die studie was om 'n begrip vanuit 'n maatskaplike ontwikkelingsperspektief-oogpunt te verkry van die aard van kapasiteitsbou-inisiatiewe op die wynplaas onder oorsig. Om die sosiale dinamika van die plaaswerkergemeenskap se ontwikkeling aan die lig te bring, het die studie 'n oorsig van die historiese herkoms van die plaaswerkers onderneem. Tweedens, het die studie 'n oorsig onderneem van die politieke, ekonomiese en wetlike institusionele parameters vir landelike ontwikkeling. 'n Derde deel van die navorsing beskrywe die aard van kapasiteitsbou-inisiatiewe oor die afgelope ses jaar, en hul impak op die maatskaplike ontwikkeling van die teikengemeenskap. Ten slotte, het die studie die impak van die ontwikkeling van plaaslike kapasiteit deur middel van 'n semi-gestruktureerde vraelys en 'n daaropvolgende onderhoud met die 21 deelnemers ondersoek. Die resultate van die navorsing soos in hierdie verslag uiteengesit bied 'n aantal voorbeelde vir maatskaplike werk-ingrypings in landelike gemeenskappe op plase in die Wes-Kaap. Gegewe die sentraliteit van die wynbedryf in die Wes-Kaap, lewer die sukses van die maatskaplike welsynsinisiatiewe op Solms-Delta 'n voorbeeld vir ander gemeenskaps-gebaseerde programme wat uit die lesse van hierdie studie kan baat. Die lokaliteit-ontwikkelingsmodel, met sy klem op insette vanuit die gemeenskap om probleme op te los, bied 'n raamwerk vir die stryd teen die unieke stel uitdagings wat ontstaan het met die begin van kolonialisme en tot aan die einde van apartheid bly voortduur het. Die bemagtigings-omgewing wat op Solms-Delta ontwikkel het, bied insig in die rol van so 'n proses vir die bekamping van die historiese euwels en onregte wat die praktyk van maatskaplike werk so belemmer. Suksesvolle gemeenskapsdeelname vereis navorsing na die dinamika binne spesifieke gemeenskappe, asook al die nodige hulpbronne, om een van Suid-Afrika se mees verarmde sosiale strata te bemagtig.

Full textFairtrade is an international organisation aimed at creating empowerment, sustainable livelihoods and fair trading opportunities for small-scale producers and hired labourers in the Global South. The organisation Fairtrade International and its independent certification body FLO-CERT form part of the larger Fair Trade movement. As South Africa's wine industry is still characterized by oppression of its farm workers, the organisation urges for a profound transformation of the industry. Fairtrade's engagement in South Africa is unique as it emerged from an initiative of local producers seeking the certification in 2003. Since then, the number of Fairtrade grape and wine farms has steadily increased and expanded to other wine-producing countries. Thus, after more than ten years of Fairtrade operation in this industry, it is worthwhile evaluating the impact of this international initiative on local farm workers on wine estates. This study uses the capability approach as a theoretical platform from which to assess farm workers' quality of life. The investigation draws a comparison between conditions for workers on Fairtrade-certified farms and conditions for workers on non-certified wine estates. Quantitative research methods were used to gather relevant information. The findings prove the hypothesis of a positive impact of the Fairtrade intervention, but only in certain categories. Labourers on Fairtrade-certified farms were found to be better off concerning financial provision for retirement, contractual status and opportunities to participate in professional training and to join unions. The data furthermore supports the hypothesis that Fairtrade workers are more satisfied with their jobs on wine farms. For further research, longitudinal studies and participatory research approaches are recommended to obtain in depth-information about farm workers' views on Fairtrade.

Full textThis thesis is about the sporting lives of people who work and/or live at the commercial grape and wine farms of the Western Cape. Collectively referred to as farm workers, they are identified by the Western Cape Provincial Government as a priority group in need of "development". Over the past 15 or so years, proclamations and practices of "sport for development and peace" (SDP) have emerged as globally recognised phenomena, where sport is promoted as a tool to achieve a broad range of "development" objectives, including the Millennium Development Goals. As a research topic, SDP scholars examine the practical and theoretical usefulness of sport as a tool for addressing a diverse set of social, health, political and economic issues through education, diplomacy, inclusion, and awareness programmes. Instead of attending to the questions of whether or how sport might serve "development" ends, this study offers a critical analysis of the nexus between sport and "development" (SDN) in the context of farm workers of the Western Cape. Informed by James Ferguson‘s analysis of "development" as an 'anti-politics machine' (1990), I adopt a deconstructionist approach that examines issues beyond the narrow confines of "development" problems and programmes. As he argues, "development" continues to serve as a-central organising concept‘ to discuss and assess desired change in social and economic realms, which is evident in the programmes of farm worker "development" and how these continue to retain a place in the policy and political discourses on agrarian transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. With an appreciation of the Western Cape‘s agrarian history and politics and how they shape present-day farm labour conditions, I have critically analysed the discourses and practices of farm worker "development" and SDP in the light of broader structural realities, everyday sporting lives and the "development" experiences of farm workers. The central organising question of this thesis is: how do "development" problems and the solutions sought for in SDP discourses and programmes correspond to the social, economic and political realities of their subjects? Drawing on my ethnographic fieldwork conducted at farmlands in and around Rawsonville, a small rural town, from April 2012 to May 2013, I illustrate different and seemingly disconnected frames and positions from which theories of SDP and farm workers‘ experiences of sport and "development" were observed. The analysis is organised around three contrasting frames of observation, namely: 1) historical and contemporary discourses and politics of farm worker "development" and SDP programmes and practices, 2) structural arrangements of competitive and physical infrastructure for official sport, and 3) everyday (official and unofficial) sporting practices and experiences of the rural working class people. With a particular attention to continuities and contradictions in historical and contemporary farm worker "development" discourses and selected SDP case studies, I demonstrate that while SDP agendas directed at farm workers may serve divergent and at times conflicting interests, farm workers' own agency, initiative and aspirations do not feature in SDP programmes and broader "development" discourses. The contrasts and counter-narratives presented in discussing these case studies and stories complicate and contest simplified notions commonly projected in global SDP discourses and locally specific "development" agendas. Beyond the confines of sporadic and temporary SDP projects, there was a vibrant and active world of formal and informal sport among the farm workers of Rawsonville. By focusing on the everyday sporting lives of athletes, coaches, managers, organisers and soccer clubs, I paint a picture that reveals the diversity and inconsistency of experiences and meanings of farm worker as an identity, a class position and an occupation. Interrogating how farm workers were embedded within the broader rural sport structures, I describe the complex set of factors that shaped their experiences of, access to, and participation in, sport. I argue that while sport was passionately pursued irrespective of direct or corollary "development" benefits, it was unofficial and under-the-radar sport networks and practices that served as vital spaces of autonomy, initiative and self-realization, even for those who may not otherwise have had such opportunities. And while the politically disengaged and enthusiastically embraced qualities of sport may continue to be among the reasons for its traction in "development" and peace agendas, these very same qualities allow sport to be usefully employed as an ethnographic method. Among the formative turns I took in conducting and presenting my research observations was to implicate myself and invite the reader into the confusing and complex process of learning and knowledge production. By way of conclusion, I argue for refocusing the gaze of research on studying sport as part of the broader scope of subaltern sociality.

This thesis explores the link between Fairtrade labelling and worker empowerment in the cases of LFFT and Stellar Organics in terms of: the reasons for becoming certified and commercial benefits expected from the Fairtrade labelling
the intergration of the Faitrade requirements into the structures and management of employee equity share shemes
the enabling or disabling factors for Fairtrade certification to contribute to the socio-economic development and empowerment of the workers. This thesis describes the two cases in detail according to these links and concludes that Fairtrade labelling has not significantly changed the trade relationships with large retailers for these two Fairtrade producers even though it has provided additional market access. The link between the Fairtrade requirements and the legal and administrativestructures of employee equity share schemes is complex and open to interpretation. Finally, the possibility for Fairtrade certification to contribute to the socio-economic development and empowerment of workers is dependent on changes in management and communicationbetween white farm owners and bleck workers which confronts deeply held paternalist beliefs..."

Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9411.
Full textDespite the obligatory requirements of the Occupational Health and Safety Act (Act 85 of 1993, Section 8(1)) that âevery employer shall provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of its employeesâ, farm workers in South Africa are exposed to numerous occupational health and safety hazards on a nearly daily basis. One of the many occupational hazards confronting farm workers is their exposure to pesticides, particularly organophosphates, which are potent neurotoxic chemicals used for pest control. Exposure to organophosphate pesticides (OPâs) is the cause of a significant number of acute and chronic poisonings amongst rural farm workers and residents in South Africa. While it is evident that the workers involved with the mixing and application of these agrichemical substances are at the greatest risk of exposure, others who are involved with general farm work are similarly at risk of exposure from spray drift and residue on crops, trees and leaves. An important association with the use of and exposure to pesticides is that of suicide in that OPâs are agents that are frequently used to commit suicide. However, being neurotoxins, it is known that OPâs have psychoactive effects and it is thought that long-term exposure to OPâs may be implicated in causing depression. Hence, exposure to OPâs has been postulated to result in suicidality amongst exposed farm workers perhaps through the pathway of depression, impulsivity, aggression or some combination of these factors. There are very few studies exploring this hypothesis to date. South Africa is the largest market for pesticide use in Sub-Saharan Africa and the grape farming sector is an intensive user of pesticides, particularly OP pesticides. This, study sets out to investigate the neuropsychiatric effects of long-term exposure to OPâs in wine and table grape farm workers in South Africa

Full textChapter one (introduction) establishes the plan of study and describes three organizational strategies ("conflict," "block," and "object") found in the selected works. Chapter two investigates the Etudes d'execution transcendante and focuses on harmonic innovations at the thematic level. In comparing different versions of the Etudes, the chapter shows how the composer's virtuoso keyboard idiom interacts with harmonic content and how surface harmonic procedures function as structural determinants. Chapter three concentrates on the smaller sets of "poetic" piano works. These include the Consolations , the Liebestraume, and the two Ballades as well as selections from the larger cyclical collections, the Annees de pelerinage and the Harmonies poetiques et religieuses. The analytical focus is on Liszt's manipulations of phrase- and section-level formal functions. The works display strophic and through-compositional tendencies that mirror developments in nineteenth-century lieder, and formal ambiguities that arise from the hybridization of traditional instrumental formal types.
Chapter four focuses exclusively on the B-minor Sonata. The composition, perhaps Liszt's most successful and complex work, engages us in a synthetic approach to harmony, form, and programme. The motivic and formal design of the Sonata may be accounted for in programmatic terms. Compositional similarities between the Sonata and the Faust Symphony suggest their shared programmatic subtext. The extensively developed "love interest" in Goethe's Faust invokes issues of gender and sexuality. The programme-related construction of gender as well as the arousal and channeling of desire can be connected with the Sonata's formal and tonal organization. Emphasizing the use of five motives and their various transformations, it is shown how Liszt portrays, through musical means, the three principal characters---Faust, Marguerite, and Mephistopheles---and how the work embodies a variety of narratological and interpretive paradigmsheroic, feminist, and psychological.

Full textStudien har som syfte att undersöka medarbetarnas upplevelse av att arbeta inom ASF och deras upplevda ställning på företaget samt arbetsmarknaden. Studien syftar även till att undersöka huruvida ASF bidrar till upplevd delaktighet för medarbetarna, vilket är en ambition bland dessa företagen. Studien besvarar tre frågeställningar; (1) Hur upplever medarbetare inom ASF sitt arbete? (2) Hur upplever medarbetare sin position och betydelse inom företaget och på arbetsmarknaden? (3) Hur bidrar arbeten inom ASF till delaktighet på arbetsplatsen? Studien utgår från en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en abduktiv ansats. Frågeställningarna har besvarats genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med medarbetare inom två ASF. Det empiriska materialet har därefter analyserats utifrån tidigare forskning kopplat till ASF och arbete, samt våra teoretiska utgångspunkter vilka är Empowerment, Arbetslinjen, Delaktighet och KASAM. Studiens huvudresultat visar att medarbetare inom de ASF vi haft kontakt med värderar arbete högt och som en viktig del av deras liv. Arbetet beskrivs som meningsfullt då det tillför för medarbetarna ett sammanhang med kollegor och en plats att vara. Medarbetarnas svar tyder vidare på att de inte upplever sig som deltagare i en sysselsättningsverksamhet utan de ser sin position på arbetsmarknaden som arbetande individer. Genom att vara verksamma inom ASF har medarbetarna erhållit en känsla av empowerment. Metoderna för hur delaktighet uppnås är liknande mellan de två företagen där personalmöten nämns som den främsta strategin. Nivån av delaktighet varierar mellan medarbetarna men gemensamt är att de alla upplever delaktighet på arbetsplatsen. På så sätt har arbete inom ASF bidragit till delaktighet.

Full textThe current dissertation focuses mainly on studying the Woodcutting House Museum in the town of Campos do Jordão. A question was raised regarding the Arts/Education cooperation related to the teaching activities of this museum: \"What are the educational possibilities of the Casa da Xilogravura Museum for the initial training of Visual Art teachers?\". Information was gathered on the Festival de Inverno de Campos do Jordão (Winter Festival of Campos do Jordão) as parameters to reestablishing the relationships with current actions in which we suggest in this research a link between the visual arts teacher training and the town of Campos do Jordão, as well as its surroundings. Other pertinent issues were also considered, such as the approach to advanced studies elaborated by the professors Paulo Freire and Thierry De Duve as the basis for the discussion about the initial training of arts teachers. Brief study on legislation in the teaching of art was written for reflections on public policies in Higher Education. This paper comprises a cross section of the importance of the teaching work of the museums as basis of a concept, as well as a historic cross section on the teaching aspect of the first museums of the State of São Paulo. Studies on Educational Curatorship and Museum and digital collections were developed based on the relations we suggest on this thesis. A survey was carried out on the basis of the Observatory Project for Teacher Training, which dealt with the Education in Museums within the scope of graduation, which, by the way, was a very small amount in the research. A brief record on the development of the collection belonging to the Casa da Xilogravura Museum was made using bibliographic, documental and oral statement information; and we updated the quantitative data regarding personal visits of Fundamental School students to the Museum, as well as how the spontaneous visitor accesses the existing information on it. The study thoroughly contemplates the reading of the works-of-arts within the scope of the Triangular Approach of Arts Teaching by Ana Mae Barbosa; also, the Aesthetic Development was regarded in the light of the concepts of four researchers: Edmund B. Feldman, Robert W. Ott, Michael J. Parsons and Abigail Housen. We built an autonomous model based on these theories, which led us to propose Support Materials to the Visual Arts teacher which should be offered to the Colleges of the regions of Vale do Paraíba, South of Minas Gerais and South of Rio de Janeiro. This material presents the work of Lasar Segall, called \"Couple in the Mangue\", 1929, woodcut printed on paper, which is part of the collection of the Casa da Xilogravura Museum.

Full textThe character of the wife is a central feature of the epic genre, for which Homer's poems stand as a model in Greek and Latin literature. The major role the feminine eros, especially towards a husband, plays in those works is one of the aspects on which the evolution of epic genericity relies, evolving from one poem to another. During the Flavian Age, Valerius Flaccus and Statius gave two feminine characters a major part in their poems : one is Medea in The Argonautics, the other Argia in Statius' Thebaid. Besides, both poets also illustrate other aspects of husband and wife eros in the Lemnian episode, which stages Hypsipyle as its heroine. From a philosophical point of view, we can see how this emphasized presence of feminine characters matches contemporary philosophers' theories on ethics within marriage, such as Musonius Rufus' thoughts. From the point de view of literature however, considering its setting in the Age of Silver latinity, we can consider this presence as a questioning of epic generic codes, which shows in the way wives are represented, according to the patterns of tragedy and of the Roman elegy, particularly of Ovid's Heroids. Therefore in the wake of three literary traditions - epic, tragedy, elegy -, the role of feminine characters shows the renewal of the epic, which we can fully study by creating criteria of analysis bearing on the notions of genre, genericity and intergenericity
