Texto completoThis work addresses the agency role of the graphic designer through three cases where the community has worked and proposed certain methodologies to develop the visual discourse in the objective of each project. It is based on the hypothesis that the graphic designer's link with his community and the identification of a methodology with social involvement enables his impact as an agent of social change. The research is designed from the review of bibliographic sources, analysis of the respective graphic pieces and interviews with the designers who carry them out. The main results indicate that the work that the designer carries out with the community and materializes in her visual production starts from the application of participatory dynamics, where a specific visual methodology and discourse is revealed. Therefore, it is concluded that the impact of the role of the graphic designer as an agent of change in their community has different scopes according to their response to a specific objective, which focuses on their discursive and visual action at a level communicational, or an integral objective, in which the designer's methodology tries to sustain the community, direct it and train it for its self-management.

Texto completoThe attribution of agentivity is an important enunciative operation. Our conception of time leads us to assign causes to actions and events. Linguistic “agency” or agentivity can be distinguished from linguistic causality (or causativity) by the fact that an animate entity (generally human) can be identified as the ultimate cause of an action or event. Animate entities are formally accorded intention, control and telicity over their own actions. However there are regular cognitive shifts from prototypical agency. Agentivity is a complex concept often allowing differing degrees of agency and the transfer of agency between actual or potential agents (the doubling of agents, delegated agency, etc.). Agentivity refers to the ascription and linguistic encoding of cognitive and enonciative operations which are at the disposal of an utterer / enunciator. Constructions which show nonprototypical agentivity are thus of particular interest. French constructions such as se faire + infinitif, se laisser + infinitif, se voir + infinitif, faire + infinitif as well as English constructions with get and have are revealing. Here there is a question as to the interpretation of the participative role of the animate subject. In certain cases control can be attenuated or even cancelled. In fact, se faire and get constructions have much in common, including their recent specialization as passives which describe unpleasant circumstances. This work uses concepts from Culioli’s Theory of Enunciative Operations. The contribution of an informative principle (recent developments in linguistic theories of information such as Vallduví’s “information packaging” and Lambrecht’s “informational structure”) makes it possible to detect in constructions similar to se faire + infinitif, a pragmatico-enunciative role which can be distinguished from canonical passives. The use of these constructions reflects the subjective and intersubjective management of information and the process of enriching the knowledge of one’s interlocutor with information indicating stance and positioning

A presente tese propõe uma reflexão crítica acerca de como se dão as representações discursivas do Movimento Nacional da População de Rua (MNPR) em textos construídos no âmbito da mobilização por inclusão social da população em situação de rua no Brasil. Para tanto, foram analisados textos concernentes à luta por inclusão social da população em situação de rua no Brasil, assim como a (auto)identificação de sua luta no contexto dos embates discursivos pela superação da situação de rua. Para promover a reflexão crítica e contribuir para uma intervenção concreta no mundo social, foram investigados, em dois momentos analíticos, textos do MNPR relacionados a sua mobilização política. Primeiro, a Carta de Princípios do movimento social e o Plano de Ação: realizações linguístico-discursivas fundamentais na proposta de organização política do Movimento, advindos das duas primeiras edições do Congresso Nacional do Movimento da População de Rua (ocorridos nos anos 2012 e 2014). Em um segundo momento, a análise discursiva crítica foi desenvolvida em textos gerados de entrevistas realizadas com cinco lideranças componentes da coordenação nacional do MNPR (São Paulo, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo e Distrito Federal). Especialmente para a segunda parte analítica, foi utilizado o Método Sincrônico-Diacrônico de Análise Linguística de Textos (MSDALT), como método basilar para nossas reflexões, em articulação com nossos objetivos de pesquisa. Por fim, discutindo os resultados dos capítulos analíticos, é apresentada uma crítica explanatória, a qual intentou articular as considerações desenvolvidas por toda a tese com uma proposta de intervenção prática. Como resultados principais do trabalho, foi possível observar que o MNPR possui uma postura discursiva diferente entre os/as coordenadores/as entrevistados/as, em construção, que oscilam entre um discurso de ruptura e uma busca por autonomia diante de relações complexas com Estado e parcerias. O nível discursivo da atuação social do MNPR, segundo as análises, mostrou que a natureza intricada dessas relações impactam a mobilização social e o avanço nas conquistas para a população em situação de rua. As percepções críticas deste trabalho buscam, assim, unir os resultados alcançados com uma reflexão acerca das ações e possibilidades transformadoras do MNPR.
This thesis aims to reflect on how the discursive representations of the Brazilian social movement Movimento Nacional da População de Rua (Homeless People of Brazil National Movement) (MNPR) in texts constructed in the ambit of the social inclusion and mobilization of the homeless population in Brazil. For that, we analyzed texts related to the struggle for social inclusion of those social actors, as well as the (self)identification of the irstruggle – over the context of debates about over coming the situation. In order to promote a critical reflection and contribute to a concrete intervention in social world, texts of the MNPR related to its political mobilization were investigate dat two analytical moments: the first one regards the “Carta de Princípios” (i.e., the Letter of Principles of the MNPR) and the “Plano de Ação” (i.e., the MNPR Policy): fundamental linguistic discursive achievements referred to the proposal of the social movement political organization – made as a result of the two first editions of National Congress of MNPR discussions. In a second moment, a critical discursive analysis was developed in texts generated from interviews with five leaders of the MNPR (São Paulo, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo and Federal District). Especially for the second analytical part, the Synchronic-Diachronic Text Analysis was used, as a basilar method for the research reflections, in articulation with the research aims. Finally, discussing the results of the analytical chapters, an explanatory critique was presented whichwasintendedtoarticulatetheconsiderationsdevelopedthroughoutthethesis wi th a proposal for practical intervention. As the main results of the study, it was possible to observe that the MNPR has different discursive attitudes among the interviewed coordinators, which oscillate between a discourse of rupture and a search for autonomy – in the face of complex relations shared with the State and partnerships. The discursive level of the social performance of the MNPR, according to the analysis, showed an intricate nature of those relation swhich impact the social mobilization and the actual advance in the achievements for the homeless population.

Texto completoAvhandlingen undersöker hur barn och ungdomar förbereds inför sin vidarebosättning genom så kallade Sverigeprogram. Avhandlingen är baserad på en etnografisk studie där video observationer genomförts av Sverigeprogram som hölls utav Migrationsverket i Kenya och Sudan för familjer som var på väg att vidarebosättas till Sverige. Som ett led i vidarebosättningsprocessen informeras och förbereds flyktingar inför flytten till Sverige. Syftet är att informera och presentera Sverige, skapa dialog och verka för flyktingarnas aktiva medverkan i sin vidarebosättningsprocess. Sedan några år tillbaka har speciella program genomförts för barn och ungdomar. Avhandlingen visar hur de två delegationerna arbetar med bilder och information med syftet att presentera en positiv bild av Sverige i ett led i att inge barnen hopp. Praktiken av att presentera idealbilden av Sverige hänger samman med socialiseringsprocess av barnen som stundtals positioneras som avvikande från svenskheten. Delegationernas arbete med att presentera bilden av den fria individen går hand i hand med en vilja att inkorporera barnen i en ny gemenskap, ett nytt ”vi”. I artikel ett undersöks hur delegationerna arbeter med bilder som visas upp genom olika praktiker för att förmedla en viss bild av Sverige samt den ideala medborgaren som ansvarstagande och aktiv. Artikel två fokuserar på barns agens och hur de under mötena med delegationerna förhandlar och gör motstånd mot stereotypifiering men också ställer egna frågor om framtiden när utrymme ges. Artikel tre fokuserar på hur delegationerna pratar om jämställdhet med unga tjejer som deltar i programmen med utgångspunkt i att stärka tjejerna och informera de om rättigheter men hur arbetet med att presentera ett liv i frihet går hand i hand med att även presentera hur detta liv bör se ut vilket paradoxalt nog positionerar tjejerna som ojämställda och annorlunda.

Texto completoThe special educator´s mission and professional role have for many years been noticed in the research, mainly in relation to the special teacher´s mission and professional role to highlight similarities and differences. This study has an ambition to help illuminate what influences the design of a special educator´s mission and professional role. The study is qualitative and is based on Karen Barad´s theory of agentic realism where both human and non-human bodies (performative agents) influence perceptions about, for example the special educator´s mission and professional role. Matter and language are strongly interconnected in the reality in which the special educator works and therefore the study is based on a material-discursive analysis. The purpose of the study is to illustrate and identify which performative agents influence how the special educator´s assignments and professional role are designed in primary school in a school district. The method part is based on a letter method and semistructured interviews with specialist teachers, special educators, principals and a school district manager in a school district. In order to clarify which performative agents own agents in the processing, an analysis scheme has been created based on assignments and professional role. In the analysis schedule for the assignment, the performative agents have been categorized on the basis of a figure that I created to clarify the assignment. The results section shows how assignments and professional roles are presented by special educators, special teachers, principals and a school district manager, and points to the fact that there are a large number of performative agents, of which the principals competence, the decision of the principal, the needs of the organization and the knowledge and competence of the special educator are of great importance in the design of the special educator´s assignment and profession. Finally, we discuss the importance of the performative agents for the design of the special educator´s mission and professional role and how the special educational support is designed in an organization. But also how the figure used can be a clear model to use to analyze the special educator´s assignment in relation to the student health team´s health promotion, prevention and corrective work in the school organization, i.e. as part of school development.

Texto completoThe first aim of this work has been to analyse and understand the ways in which a group of ANC-women politicians reason about bridewealth/lobola – an institution about which they express differing views, in particular about whether or not it is oppressive to women. The main body of the empirical material is based on 27 interviews conducted in South Africa in the period 1996-1998.
One finding of the study is that there are explicit defining discourses on lobola as well as more implicitly expressed understandings. The explicit discourses make a distinction between ’good lobola’ – which is expressed in a family-related discourse as ’a bond between families’ – and ’bad lobola’ which is expressed in, for instance, an economic discourse about ’the purchase of women’. The family-related discourse is interpreted as part of a discursive strategy to create spaces for action with respect to relations of gender-related power. (Re)definitions of lobola may be used not only to counter men’s abuse of monetary lobola but also to counter ’traditional’ gender meanings associated with lobola. Furthermore, explicit discourses on lobola are interpreted as a ‘political discourse’ which is formed both in relation to pragmatic ‘political realities’ but also in relation to hegemonic Western discourses. The political discourse on lobola in connection with ‘African identity’ constitutes a discursive strategy to provide discursive space in order for ’Africans’ to be able to (re)interpret a cherished but also controversial institution.
A second aim of the study has been of a self-reflexive character. It consitutes a critique of a ‘doing gender’ theoretical perspective as well as an attempt to transcend the ‘actor/structure dichotomy’ in sociological analysis.

Na última década, inúmeras comunidades rurais brasileiras se autorreconheceram como remanescentes de quilombos, dentre elas, seis localizadas no distrito do Guaí em Maragojipe, Bahia, que foram objeto deste estudo. No processo de "se tornar" quilombola, as diferenças das comunidades Guaí foram produzidas sobretudo nos espços de interação intercultural entre agentes comunitários e agentes governamentais, tais como reuniões políticas para identificação da história e do território quilombola. Esta dissertação lançou luz justamente sobre esse locus da mediação cultural, com o objetivo de analisar a construção simbólico-discursiva da identidade e da memória, em que os agentes políticos de constituíram como mediadores simbólicos das diferenças. Nesse sentido, a atenção se voltou principalmente para as narrativas sobre o passado do Guaí, em que as trajetórias individuais ganharam caráter cada vez mais coletivo que resultaram na emrgência de novos líderes comunitários e na construção da história das comunidades quilombolas do Guaí. Nesse processo, os líderes comunitários assumiram o importante papel na articulação de diferenças particulares, sobretudo ligadas ao modo de vida do pescador/marisqueira e do lavrador(a), com categorias generalizadoras, como raça, tradição e cultura, buscando construir consensos em torno dos modos de apresentação e representação do grupo. Em decorrência disso, 'ser negro" e "ser da roça e da maré" foram ressignificados, passando de uma condição de inferioridade para a de dignidade coletiva e com possibilidade do acesso a direitos. Por fim, esse estudo apresenta como os impasses gerados pela possibilidade da coletivização do título da terra e a falta de retorno do Estado frente as demandas materiais do grupo impactam a auto-identificação quilombola no Guaí. The present work aimed to study the relationship of Pankararé people with the environment in which they live. It is an ethnography focused on natural resource management as well as in the perception and attribution of meaning to the natural elements of the territory by the indigenous group. For this I used literature sources and ethnographic material. The study took place on the indigenous land Pankararé and the indigenous land Brejo do Burgo, located on the municipalities of Paulo Afonso, Glória and Rodelas (Bahia), where about 1,500 people live.The region, known as Raso da Catarina, is one of the driest of the semi-arid region of Bahia where predominates the Caatinga biome. The Pankararé people inhabited this region for several generations and thus developed a comprehensive and detailed knowledge of the territory. This body of knowledge about natural resources - such as the classification of plants and animals - as well as land use and perception are part of a dynamic subordinated to an outstanding feature of the local ecology: the existence of two complementary environments, the brejo (swamp) "civilized" and the raso (shallow) "raw" (wild). This opposition is not only restricted to the environmental character, but also follows the criteria of social and symbolic relevance. In this sense, the study also aimed to investigate the expressions involving "to live of the agriculture" - associated with living in the brejo - and "to live of the forest" - referring to the way of life typical of the raso. Thus, I performed a review of studies on ethnobiology and ethnoecology about the Pankararé, followed by field research, based on participant observation, in order to deepen both the understanding of the use of the resources of the raso as to describe the knowledge and techniques management involved in agricultural work and therefore how these two worlds are intertwined in the integrated management of the indigenous territory.

Texto completoThis thesis investigates the use of assisted reproduction in Denmark and Sweden. Assisted reproduction is fascinating, because it enables the creation of children who would not have been born otherwise. At the same time, it challenges existing norms concerning sexuality, ethnicity, normality, age, gender and kinship. The processes of creation and change that take place at fertility clinics and sperm banks are analyzed by exploring the encounters between norms, patients, employees, technology and gametes. The analysis shows how legislators, patients and employees relate to and manage the use of these technologies. It illustrates that the predominant principle used for setting ethical limits is the mimicking of nature. However, this principle is constantly negotiated and changed. One reason is that negotiations take place in an encounter with the agency of the technology, gametes and body. Another reason for the change of the naturalization principle is that absurd situations, such as stigmatization and marginalization of patients and their technologically conceived children, take place. The empirical analysis also contributes to a theoretical understanding of how materialization processes (creation processes) take place in the encounters between discourse and material agency. The thesis is written with a point of departure in feminist science studies, and can be read as a contribution to feminist new materialist theory and method.

Texto completoThis thesis is impelled by the unsettling suspicion that academic feminism has adopted modes of theorising which undermine its political raison d’être. Specifically it argues that certain discursive conventions observed in popular attacks on feminism have, somewhat surprisingly, been imported unchanged into feminist theory. From the late 1980s, attempts were made to silence minority claims of discrimination and subordination via the discourse of ‘political correctness’. In particular, this discourse belittled such claims as the exaggerated and irrational expression of largely self-inflicted ‘victimhood’, an argument which depended for its force on denigrating the figure of the ‘victim’ as a morally, and not just practically, diminished status. I suggest that the same logic occurs in a more or less sublimated form in feminist theory – the self-identified victim is positioned as having crossed a threshold of reasonableness, the standard for which is set by non-victim others. With a few notable exceptions most feminist scholars have failed to address, let alone notice, this resonance. However, this thesis goes beyond documenting a surface correspondence between these two ostensibly incompatible discursive domains. Its significant claim is that a discursive strategy designed specifically to undermine the basis for feminist claims has become integral to the meaning-making practices of academic feminism. The issue is not simply one of a disturbing coincidence with a discourse from which feminist theory nevertheless remains largely autonomous. On the contrary, the claim here is that readers of feminist theory cannot make sense of certain modes of argument without reference to anti-feminist systems of meaning erected elsewhere. In that sense, the discourse of ‘political correctness’ has infected the very core of feminist theorising. An additional contribution of the thesis is that, in the process of establishing precisely how this discursive imbrication is accomplished, it utilises a theory of reading practice which is applicable to the study of discourse more broadly. This approach addresses questions about the mechanisms by which prominent discursive tropes come to act upon and be transmitted by otherwise disparate subjects, a point which has remained largely unresolved by discourse scholars. The argument is that the discourse of ‘political correctness’ facilitates the accurate recognition by readers of the denigrated ‘victim’ in feminist theory, normalising it and making it comprehensible in the absence of other explanation within the individual texts themselves. Successfully accomplishing these acts of recognition is furthermore a criterion of membership of the feminist discourse community, demonstrating competence at deploying its knowledge standards and a willingness to collude in the exclusions those standards entail. Corresponding to the way the devaluation of victimhood has been discursively normalised in feminist theory, it is argued that the concept of ‘agency’ has achieved an ontological primacy in feminist thinking which is far from innocent. Analyses of agency and resistance operate as moral correctives to an alleged historical preoccupation with victimisation, rather than as disinterested scholastic endeavours aimed at expanding our knowledge of women’s behaviour under conditions of oppression. The binary opposition of victimhood and agency therefore oversees a normative structuring of feminist approaches and modes of argument, a structure supported at its origins by the meanings encoded in a hostile discourse. In an attempt to disrupt that normativity, the thesis concludes by sketching the possibilities for a less coercive feminist rhetorical practice which does not embed exclusionary assumptions about victimhood. Such a practice would not have as its primary intention the resumption of supposedly more neutral modes of referring to victimhood, although that is certainly proposed as a conduit to greater inclusivity. Rather, that ostensible neutrality is itself a politically invested discursive usage which is aimed specifically at initiating only those interpretive processes that must refuse the discourse of ‘political correctness’ as a meaning enabler. This thesis therefore provides a method of discursively re-politicising feminist theory in a way which is neither simply reactive nor resigned to its inevitable imbrication with other discourses.

Garrick, John. "The dialectic of informal learning : a study of the discursive effects on the workplace learning of trainers situated within post-industrial corporate agendas". 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/2100/977.
Texto completoThe study critically examines definitions of "informal learning", focussing on the term's application in workplace training contexts. Drawing on Foucault, Heidegger and Habermas, it is argued that we cannot understand ourselves (and thus our informal learning) without challenging the assumptions of modernity and coming to terms with what Lyotard has termed "the postmodern condition". Industry trainers are at the forefront of implementing "designer" corporate cultures which, in the rhetoric of "work-based learning", make enterprises more innovative and competitive. This study challenges that rhetoric, showing that the implicit philosophy of contemporary workplace learning and training is framed by an economistic "human capital theory". The "stories" of industry trainers from several multinational corporations challenge assumptions about what is learnt through competency-based training and about corporate uses of informal learning. It is argued that being at work entails far more than simply performing the tasks one is required to do, which, in turn, effects the links between informal learning and formal education. The final chapters are directed towards expanding and realigning interpretations of "informal learning" away from the narrow and instrumental purposes for which the term has been appropriated. Equity, respect for the dignity of others, and a philosophy of ethics have a place in "workplace learning". Informal learning is shaped by our deepest ethical and moral responses. It does not follow that measurable tasks, what one can be observed doing at work, represent one's learning.
