Carlson, Jessica Jean. "Building about the body: architecture as dress." Thesis, Montana State University, 2011. http://etd.lib.montana.edu/etd/2011/carlson/CarlsonJ1211.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
The body is the most significant factor in architecture. We foremost build to house people. We mediate external climatic factors with the outermost architectural layer to provide a comfortable interior for human habitation. However, over the centuries, architecture has become less about responding to human need and more about abstract ordering principles and surface articulation. Building skin is archispeak for the outermost architectural layer where this surface articulation predominantly occurs. It also is the most contemporary - and skewed - example of the anthropomorphic building as body analogy that, although is the oldest theme in architectural theory, is deeply flawed. By having buildings be bodies, the true connection with the body of the dweller is lost. Redirecting building as body to building as about the body allows architecture to refocus its emphasis on the true body / building relationship: the original formulating concept and process of the first architecture - the primitive hut. We first wore clothing to protect our bodies. The origins of architecture is the transition between shelter as clothing to shelter as including space. Gottfried Semper's bekleidung - dress principle - acknowledges this. The outermost architectural envelope is a layer of dress - not skin, a comfort extender one degree removed from our clothing and two from the body. Thinking about architecture as dress enforces the base principle of buildings being about the body. Architecture is synergetic shelter; of the body, by the body, for the body.

Full textAbstract:
Esta pesquisa busca compreender as implicaÃÃes da participaÃÃo em um grupo de arte-identidade no movimento da identidade de jovens vinculados ao Movimento de SaÃde Mental ComunitÃria do Bom Jardim (MSMCBJ), organizaÃÃo nÃo governamental que atua em Fortaleza no bairro do Grande Bom Jardim localizado na Secretaria Executiva Regional â SER V. Tal iniciativa deu-se a partir da nossa prÃvia inserÃÃo nas atividades do MSMCBJ, que garantiu o desdobramento de um processo de vinculaÃÃo tanto com a comunidade, quanto com os funcionÃrios da instituiÃÃo, permitindo, assim, uma abertura para a realizaÃÃo da pesquisa. Outro motivo foi a existÃncia de um grupo de trabalho com arte-identidade realizado com a populaÃÃo jovem que participa dos cursos profissionalizantes oferecidos pela ONG. Nesse sentido, nossa investigaÃÃo deteve-se em dois objetivos especÃficos: 1. Analisar as personagens que surgem no movimento da identidade dos jovens durante a participaÃÃo assÃdua no grupo de arte-identidade; 2. Compreender a direÃÃo da expressÃo e metamorfose da identidade mediante a presenÃa de novas personagens e o desaparecimento de outras. A relevÃncia desta pesquisa destaca-se pelo fato de a arte-identidade como proposta de facilitaÃÃo de grupos nÃo ter sido sistematizada. AlÃm disso, vinculÃ-la ao trabalho com jovens de um bairro popular da capital cearense muito pode contribuir como alternativa de facilitaÃÃo de grupos com esta populaÃÃo. Como marco teÃrico, utilizamos as contribuiÃÃes da Psicologia ComunitÃria, que busca facilitar, atravÃs do aprofundamento da consciÃncia, o desenvolvimento dos sujeitos comunitÃrios; da BiodanÃa, que à um sistema de desenvolvimento humano que busca a integraÃÃo afetiva, a renovaÃÃo orgÃnica e a reaprendizagem das funÃÃes originÃrias da vida; e da EducaÃÃo BiocÃntrica, que utiliza a BiodanÃa como mediadora no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, buscando a construÃÃo do conhecimento a partir do fortalecimento da identidade do educando para que este possa aprender a viver, conectando-se de forma profunda com a vida. Assim, atravÃs do mÃtodo facilitar-pesquisando com um grupo formado por 32 jovens na faixa etÃria de 16 a 20 anos, realizamos questionÃrios, cÃrculos de cultura, cÃrculos de encontro e relatos de vivÃncia como instrumentos para coletar os dados. Elegemos 8 jovens como participantes da pesquisa a partir de dois critÃrios: 1. a densidade das informaÃÃes oferecidas por estes participantes, apresentando um conteÃdo significativo para uma anÃlise com qualidade, e 2. a freqÃÃncia de participaÃÃo nos encontros semanais do grupo, acompanhados por assinatura numa lista, caracterizando uma porcentagem superior à 64%. ApÃs a transcriÃÃo e codificaÃÃo dos dados, submetemo-nos aos procedimento de anÃlise temÃtica. ConcluÃmos que a arte-identidade atua na construÃÃo de uma identidade-amor a partir da transformaÃÃo positiva dos seguintes aspectos identitÃrios: atua no fortalecimento dos aspectos saudÃveis da identidade (ausÃncia de agressÃo gratuita, percepÃÃo de si mesmo como criatura portadora de um valor intrÃnseco, capacidade de intimidade, capacidade de auto-regulaÃÃo e empatia); potencializa a expressÃo das linhas de vivÃncia (enfocamos a vitalidade, criatividade e afetividade); fortalece os tipos de vinculaÃÃo com a vida; e atua no fortalecimento do valor pessoal e poder pessoal.This research search to understand the implications of the participation in an art-identity group in the movement of the Movement of Community Mental Health of the Good Garden (MSMCBJ) youths' identity, organization non government that works in Fortaleza in the neighborhood of the Grande Bom Jardim located in the Secretaria Executiva Regional - SER V. Such an initiative felt starting from our previous insert in the activities of MSMCBJ that it guaranteed an approximation with the community and with the employees of the institution allowing this research. Another reason was the existence of agroup with art-identity accomplished with the young population that participates the courses offered by ONG. This way, our investigation had two specific objectives: 1. to analyze the characters that appear in the movement of the youths' identity during the assiduous participation in the art-identity group; 2. to understand the direction of the expression and metamorphosis of the identity by the new characters' presence and the disappearance of other. The relevance of this research is the fact of the art-identity as proposal of facilitation of groups it was not systematized. Besides, the work with youths of a popular neighborhood of the capital from Cearà a lot can contribute as alternative of facilitation of groups with this population. We used the contributions of the Community Psychology theory that it looks for to facilitate through the conscience, the development of the community subjects; of BiodanÃa a system of human development that looks for the affective integration, the organic renewal and the learning of the original functions of the life; and of the EducaÃÃo BiocÃntrica, that uses BiodanÃa as way in the teaching-learning process, looking for the construction of the knowledge starting from the invigoration of the student's identity so that this can learn how to live, being connected in a deep way with the life. Like this, through the method facilitar-pesquisando with a group formed by 32 young with 16 to 20 years, we accomplished questionnaires, culture circles, encounter circles and existence reports as instruments to collect the data. We chose 8 young as participants because: 1. the density of the information offered by these participants with a significant content for an analysis with quality, and 2. the participation frequency in the weekly encounters of the group, accompanied by signature in a list, characterizing a superior percentage to the 64%. After the transcription and code of the data, we made thematic analysis. We concluded that the art-identity group acts in the construction of an identidade-amor through the positive transformation from identity: it works in the healthy aspects of the identity (like aggression, perception of himself value, intimacy, self-regulation and empathy); it woks in the expression from the vitality, creativity and affectivity; it strengthens the life love; and it acts in the personal value and personal power.

Full textAbstract:
Haapsalu Bay is a very shallow area consisting of semiclosed regions partly separated by peninsulas in the coastal zone of West Estonia. The main inflow of fresh water, 33.875.436 m3/year, from some small rivers (Ungru, Taebla, Vönnu, Asukula) falls into the eastern part of Haapsalu Bay, with the Nitrogen load 72.331 Kg/year and Phosphorus load 2.327,88 Kg/year. The central part of the Bay receives municipal and industrial sewage waters from the town of Haapsalu with a discharge of nutrients 28.591,6 Kg N/year and 4.34,17 Kg P/year . In addition, atmospheric deposition constitutes an important part of the nutrients load with 40.936 Kg N/year and 183 Kg P/year. As a consequence, intensive production of organic matter and accumulation of nutrients lead to a constant eutrophication process. In order to understand biochemical processes occurring in the marine ecosystem where the turnover of both phosphorus and nitrogen is included a conceptual model has been built up. Haapsalu Model, implemented in Stella Software, illustrates the phosphorus and nitrogen cycles and the concentration of nutrients in their different stages in Haapsalu Bay. Moreover, how various reduction strategies will affect the environment in the bay and in the Baltic proper may be simulated. The model tests nowadays the bay acts a giant waste stabilization pond resulting in the fact that the amount of nutrients carried by flowing water out to Baltic Sea should be small.www.ima.kth.se

Full textAbstract:
There are many names or labels which refer to the generation growing up with digital media and these include labels such as ‘Net Generation’ (Tapscott, 1998), ‘digital natives’ (Prensky, 2001), ‘cyberkids’ (Holloway, 2003) and ‘MySpacegeneration’ (Rosen, 2008). The core idea behind these labels is that young people who have grown up surrounded by digital technology are very different to previous generations in their way of using and even thinking about the new digital technology. This appears to be reinforcing a generational divide and makes the assumption that young people can be categorized into one group in relation to their use of ICTs. The approach in this thesis is to empirically explore, in order to nuance, some of these presumptions about the ‘Net Generation’ (defined according to Tapscott). Thus, the research question is: How can the presumptions about the ‘Net Generation’ be nuanced? The following three presumptions have been explored within the three papers included in the thesis: i) The ‘Net Generation’ diverges from previous generations in relation to the use of internet; ii) The ‘Net Generation’ is techno-savvy or digitally competent; iii) The digitally competent ‘Net Geners’ are also digital participants since there is a causal relationship between digital competence and digital participation. The explorations are conducted by using the theoretical concepts ‘digital skills’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘participatory culture’. Several hypotheses,deduced from previous research, have been tested on a national representative sample of people born between the years 1978 and 1997 (categorised as the ‘Net Generation’). The results show that ‘Net Geners’ internet usage is diversified;hence, it is simplified to talk about them as a homogeneous group. Those included in the categorisation have different opportunities to participate in the digital society. Their internet usage differs both in terms of how much time they spend and what they do online. Their digital skills and self-efficacy in the use of computers are also different and so is the perceived feeling of participation in the information society. This implies that the ‘Net Geners’ do not have equal conditions in relation to participation in the digital society. However, what is meant by participation is still an unresolved question which requires further exploration.SAMMANDRAG Idag beskrivs ofta generationen som vuxit upp med internet och digitala medier i termer av att vara en ”internetgeneration” (Tapscott, 1998), "digitala infödingar" (Prensky, 2001), "cyberkids" (Holloway, 2003) eller "MySpace-generation" (Rosen, 2008). Dessa antaganden bygger på att det finns en generationsskillnad i förhållningssätt till internet, d.v.s. att ”internetgenerationen” är de som är kunniga och vana internetanvändare till skillnad från äldre generationer som inte helt naturligt kan ta till sig den nya digitala tekniken. Avhandlingens syfte är att empiriskt undersöka ett antal antaganden om ”internetgenerationen” för att ta reda hur dessa kan nyanseras. Således är frågeställningen: Hur kan antaganden om "internetgenerationen" nyanseras? Följande tre antaganden har utforskats inom de tre artiklarna som ingår i avhandlingen: i) "internetgenerationen" skiljer sig från tidigare generationer när det gäller användningen av internet, ii) "internetgenerationen" är tekniskt kunniga eller digitalt kompetenta; iii) den digitalt kompetenta "internetgenerationen" är också digitalt delaktig eftersom det finns ett orsakssamband mellan digital kompetens och digital delaktighet. För att empiriskt undersöka antagandena om internetgenerationen har teoretiska koncept så som ”digital skills”, ”self-efficacy” samt ”participatory culture” använts. Ett antal hypoteser som deducerats utifrån tidigare forskning har testats på ett riksrepresentativt urval av personer födda mellan 1978 och 1997 (de som tillhör internetgenerationen). Resultaten visar att det är en förenklad bild att prata om en internetgeneration. De som ingår i den kategoriseringen har olika förutsättningar att delta i det digitala samhället. Deras internetanvändning skiljer sig åt både när det gäller hur mycket tid de spenderar samt vad de gör online. Deras digitala kompetens och självförtroende när det gäller användning av datorer skiljer sig också åt och det gäller även den upplevda känslan av delaktighet i informationssamhället. Detta indikerar att inte alla har samma förutsättningar att vara delaktiga i det digitala samhället. Vad som däremot innebär att vara delaktig är fortfarande en obesvarad fråga som behöver ägnas mer uppmärksamhet i framtida studier.

Introdução: A adolescência é um período de intensas mudanças físicas, psicológicas, cognitivas e sociais, que podem influenciar a opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação. Objetivo: Analisar a opinião de adolescentes sobre peso corporal e alimentação. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com adolescentes (14 a 19 anos), de ambos os sexos, do ensino médio de escolas técnicas que participaram do Projeto Educação Alimentar, nos municípios de São Paulo, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto e Mogi das Cruzes. As variáveis respostas do estudo foram opinião sobre peso corporal e opinião sobre alimentação e as explanatórias foram, ingestão referida de frutas, hortaliças e produtos lácteos, idade, sexo, inatividade física, realização de refeição em frente à televisão, cidade e índice de massa corporal IMC. Utilizou-se a regressão de Poisson (p<0,05) para verificar associação entre as variáveis estudadas e a razão de prevalência entre as categorias das variáveis; o teste de McNemar foi calculado para comparar as proporções oriundas das variáveis respostas (opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação) simultaneamente. Para os cálculos utilizou-se o Stata, versão 10.1. Resultados: Foram estudados 273 adolescentes (60,4 por cento meninas). Detectou-se associação entre opinião sobre peso corporal, IMC e sexo; incluindo inatividade física para sexo masculino e cidade para sexo feminino. A opinião sobre alimentação mostrou-se associada a sexo, ingestão referida de frutas e hortaliças; incluindo cidade para sexo feminino e somente frutas para sexo masculino. Encontrou-se associação entre opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação para sexo feminino e para o total de adolescentes. Conclusão: A opinião sobre peso corporal e opinião sobre alimentação se manifestaram de forma semelhante e simultânea para sexo feminino e para o total de adolescentesIntroduction: Adolescence is a period of intense physical, psychological, cognitive and, social changes that may influence opinion about body weight and eating practice. Objective: To analyze adolescents opinion about body weight and eating practice. Methods: Cross-sectional study with adolescents (14-19 years) of both sexes, from technical high schools that participated from the Nutrition Education Project, in São Paulo, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto and Mogi das Cruzes cities. The response variables of the study were opinion about body weight and eating practice and the explanatory ones were reported fruits, vegetables and dairy products intake, age, sex, physical inactivity, making meal in front of the television, city and body mass index BMI. Poisson regression (p <0.05) was used to determine the association among these variables and the prevalence ratio among the categories of variables; McNemar test was calculated to compare the proportions derived from response variables (opinion about body weight and eating practice) simultaneously. For the calculations, Stata, version 10.1 was used. Results: 273 adolescents (60.4 per cent girls) participated from the study. Association was detected among opinion about body weight, BMI and sex, including physical inactivity for males and city for females. Opinion about eating practice was associated with sex, reported fruits and vegetables intake; including city for females and only fruits for males. It was found association between opinion about body weight and eating practice for females and for the adolescents. Conclusion: The opinion about body weight and opinion about eating practice manifested similarly and simultaneously for females and for the adolescents

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROCOORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
O presente trabalho procurou investigar, à luz da concepção foucaultiana da constituição da subjetividade, os adeptos das práticas de marcação corporal extrema, tais como: tatuagem, piercing, escarificação, branding, cutting, suspensão, entre outras, concernentes ao movimento da Body Modification. Cada época produz um tipo de corpo que corresponde aos ideais de beleza e aos valores dominantes em uma sociedade. Reconhecendo que os adeptos da Body Modification constroem corpos que possuem um estilo divergente dos padrões presentes na sociedade ocidental, procurou-se refletir não somente sobre os efeitos destas práticas para estes indivíduos, mas também a respeito das conseqüências da sua presença em nossa sociedade. Para tanto, procedeu-se inicialmente a uma exposição da visão de Foucault sobre o poder e a maneira como as relações de poder investem os corpos produzindo formas de subjetivação. Foi realizado, também, um histórico das práticas de marcação corporal ao longo da humanidade para apontar o contexto em que surge o movimento da Body Modification e suas especificidades. Além disto, foram apresentadas as características principais do pensamento dos indivíduos que se submetem a estas práticas. Tendo por base a premissa, apresentada por Foucault, de que a subjetividade possui uma raiz corporal, este movimento é valorizado pela autora como uma nova forma de subjetivação contemporânea que busca resistir aos mecanismos coercitivos do poder.
The present work investigates, based on the foucautian notion of the constitution of the subjectivity, the practitioners of extreme body marking such as tattooing, piercing, scarification, branding, cutting, suspension, among others. All these practices concern the greater movement of Body Modification. Each society produces different standards for what the ideal body should be according to the patterns of beauty and the dominant values of each particular time. Considering that the body constructed by the practitioners of Body Modification is divergent to western culture standards, this study tries to show how this perspective influences not only those who use it but also how its presence in our society has important consequences. To do so the study began with an exposition of Foucault´s notion of power and how power relations invest the bodies producing different forms of subjectivity. A historic approach on body marking also made it possible to understand in which context the Body Modification Movement and its specificities appeared. The narrative of the individuals who submit to these practices was also taken in consideration, and the main aspects of how they think their experience is presented in this work. Agreeing with Foucault´s premise that subjectivity has its roots on the body, the Body Movement is valued by the author as a new form of subjectivity which can offer an alternative for resistance in face of the coercive mechanisms of power of our contemporaneity.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to explain and analyse the body positivity movement in the social media platform Instagram, as well as its empowering effects on women active in this movement. The phenomenon based on visuality, body positivism, has more than three million pictures on Instagram, hashtagged under two popular hashtags examined in this thesis: #bodypositivity and #bodypositive. The goal of this movement is to show diversity in the portrayal of women, as well as to encourage acceptance of all body types, skin colours and body flaws - especially marginalised bodies that are often invisible in the current society. The research is conducted with methods of visual content analysis and interviews with women participating in the body positivity movement. This study is framed in feminism theory and this study includes theories of gender-norms, Western beauty standards, the male gaze and questions about identity and body image. The results of this study show that most of the people participating in the movement are white women and are pictured often in their underwear. In the pictures hashtagged with body positivity related hashtags, there are, however, not that many flaws visible - such as cellulite or stretch marks. Nevertheless, after interviewing the women active in this movement - active as picture publishers, conversation holders and as body positive Instagram-user followers - this movement is empowering to the women and helps develop a positive body image and better self-esteem. In addition, this phenomenon can change the narratives of the people with marginalised bodies and modify the image of how women are represented and portrayed in society.

Full textAbstract:
In nearly two decades of research, objectification theory has provided a comprehensive sociocultural account of how women and girls internalize a sexually-objectified, critical lens of their bodies and appearance. Self-objectification and the associated behavioural and affective experiences of body surveillance and shame have been found to be related to a variety of mental health concerns for girls and women, including disordered eating, depression, and sexual risk-taking. While objectifying cultural messages are an omnipresent influence in body image development, there is evidence that the mother-daughter relationship has significant impact on this process. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe how mothers and their adolescent daughters construct one another’s perceptions, attitudes, and behaviours regarding their bodies and appearance, from the perspective of their joint, goal-directed actions. Using a case study design and the constructionist action-project method, the conversations about appearance and bodies of six mother-daughter dyads were analyzed. The daughters in these dyads were from 13 to 17 years old, representing pubertal onset, a turbulent time for navigating peer and media pressures. By tackling issues like make-up use, revealing clothing, cosmetic surgery, and athletic activities, these mother-daughter conversations and their individual recalled thoughts and feelings on viewing the video-playback of the conversation exhibited how both congruent and conflicting behaviors and values can be transferred within their relationships. Findings point to mother-daughter joints projects that range from mutual objectification, avoidance of vulnerability, to sharing values such as thinness or athleticism, and supporting one another with empathy. Action-project analysis of these case studies revealed that many appearance-related projects were enacted within overarching identity and relationship projects. These cases provide evidence of the processes by which body image is socially constructed within the mother-daughter relationship.Education, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation the feasibility of Experientialism about the sense of bodily ownership (SBO) is explored and defended. An original experientialist proposal on the SBO is presented. On this view, for a subject to have a SBO is for her to be aware of (A) the experience-dependency of the properties involved in the content of somatosensory experiences; and (B) the relevant experiences as being her own. Clause (B) of the view requires acknowledging the existence of a sense of experience ownership (SEO). In the first half of the dissertation (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2) I argue for the plausibility of this sort of approach by motivating the idea that there are explanatory relations between the SBO and the SEO, and criticising some rival views on the SBO. In the second half of the thesis (Chapter 3 and Chapter 4) I substantiate and defend my proposal.En aquesta tesi s’explora i es defensa la viabilitat de l’Experiencialisme sobre el sentit de propietat sobre el cos (sense of bodily ownership; SBO). Es presenta una proposta experiencialista de l’SBO. Segons aquesta proposta, un subjecte té SBO si i només si s’adona (A) de la dependència de l’experiència de les propietats involucrades en el contingut de les experiències somatosensorials; i (B) que les experiències somatosensorials rellevants són seves. La clàusula (B) demana el reconeixement de l’existència d’un sentit de propietat sobre les experiències (sense of experience ownership; SEO). A la primera meitat de la tesi (Capítol 1 i Capítol 2) s’argumenta a favor de la plausibilitat d’aquest tipus de proposta, motivant la idea que hi ha relacions explicatives entre SBO i SEO, i criticant algunes teories rivals sobre l’SBO.

Full textAbstract:
COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORO presente estudo constituiu-se como uma investigação de possíveis intercessões entre as experiências dadas pelo erotismo, a mística e a poesia, essa última entendida dentro do contexto grego de poiésis que extrapola os limites do gênero literário, caracterizando-se principalmente como experiência estética de uso consciente da língua. O direcionamento teórico principal foi dado pelo pensamento de Georges Bataille, para quem tanto o amor- paixão quanto a mística religiosa e a poesia são experiências limites de alteridade que revelam a existência de um movimento dialético (sem síntese) entre os interditos que fundam o corpo social e a transgressão dessas mesmas leis. Nosso estudo buscou explorar as intercessões entre as formas de erotismo que Bataille analisa - o erotismo dos corpos, dos corações e sagrado - e a poesia, que o autor menciona como uma quarta forma de erotismo sem desenvolver argumentação mais precisa. Desta forma, nossa hipótese é que possa ser aplicado à poesia, senão todas, algumas das principais características que Bataille aponta no erotismo, definido por ele como experiência em que o ser se põe em questão. A reflexão das questões propostas por Bataille exigiu que fossem abordadas as especificidades da experiência religiosa na contemporaneidade, e a discussão de alguns conceitos da ciência da religião, como por exemplo, uma definição de sagrado que pudesse ser aplicado não apenas a experiências religiosas institucionalizadas, algumas reflexões sobre o pensamento mítico-religioso e a compreensão do caráter primitivamente sagrado da linguagem e do mito. A partir da compreensão da importância do mito para o pensamento mágico-religioso e da constatação de que o mesmo constitui-se a linguagem apropriada para comunicação com as instâncias do sagrado, formulamos a hipótese que a poesia pudesse ser interpretada, em uma sociedade desencantada como a nossa, enquanto solução de continuidade para o mito, sendo ela intrinsecamente religiosa, no sentido em que propõe um salto para fora dos limites do interdito em direção às forças anímicas do sagrado, esse entendido no contexto batailliano. Tencionando clarificar hipóteses e argumentos, foi tomada para um estudo de caso a obra da poeta mineira Adélia Prado, onde foram apontadas e discutidas as relações entre erotismo, mística, palavra poética, sagrado e morte.
The present study was constituted as an investigation of possible intercessions among the experiences given by the eroticism, mystic and poetry, understood in the Greek context of poiésis that extrapolates the limits of the literary gender, being characterized mainly as aesthetic experience of use conscious of language. The main theoretical approachly was given by Georges Bataille s thought, for who as much the love-passion as the religious mystic and poetry are limits experiences of otherlity that reveal the existence of a movement dialectic (without synthesis) among the injunctions that found the social body and the transgression of those same laws. Our study looked for explore the intercessions among the eroticism`s forms that Bataille analyzes - the eroticism of bodies, of hearts and sacred - and the poetry, that the author mentions as one Wednesday forms of eroticism without developing more necessary argument. Our hypothesis is that it can be applied to the poetry, or else all, some of the main characteristics that Bataille appears in the eroticism, defined for him as experience in that the being puts in subject. The reflection of the subjects proposed by Bataille demanded that the specificity`s of the religious experience were approached in the contemporanity, as well as the discussion of some concepts of the science of the religion, as for instance, a definition of sacred that it could not just be applied to institutionalized religious experiences, some reflections on the thought mythical-religious person and the understanding of the primitive character sacred of language and of myth. Starting from the understanding of the importance of the myth for the thought magic-religious person and of the verification that the same is constituted the appropriate language for communication with the instances of the sacred, we formulated the hypothesis the poetry to be interpreted, in a society disenchanted as ours, while continuity solution for the myth, being her religious, in the sense in that it proposes a jump outside of the limits of the injunction towards the psychic forces of the sacred, that understood in the context batailliano. Intending to clarify hypotheses and arguments, it was taken for a case study the work of the poet Adélia Prado, where they were pointed and discussed the relationships among eroticism, mystic, word poetic, sacred and death.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The issue of masculinity is complex, and many theories on how gender is constructed exist. The central premise of this study is that gender construction is the result of dynamic social interaction and, as such, a post-structuralist paradigm is ascribed to. The concept of multiple masculinities exists to explain the influences different contexts have on how masculine ideas are constructed. This is not a passive process and individuals are considered active creators of their own identity. However, research demonstrates that not all masculinities are equal. Hegemonic masculinity maintains its leading dominant position status through using strategies of power and dominance to maintain the pinnacle position of status in the hierarchy of masculinities. The purpose of this study is to listen to the narratives of pre-adolescent boys about masculinity. Post-structuralist and social constructivist ideas that meaning is fluid and open to change, is influenced by culture and the individual meanings that people make. This understanding provides the theoretical framework for this qualitative study. Through a narrative-inquiry design, meaning was made of the individual experiences of six boys within the context of a single-sex preparatory school. The narratives of these participants, purposively selected, were obtained using the data-collecting methods of interviews, a focus group and the construction of a collage. The analysed data was presented both in the form of the narratives of the participants and through a thematic analysis. The findings indicate that within this private, single-sex preparatory school context, multiple constructions of masculinity are formed, and they all appear to be constructed in relation to hegemonic notions of masculinity. It was found that fathers play an important role in the way in which boys construct their masculine identity. However, their peers and the school context also play a significant role. Further, the findings revealed that although hegemonic notions of masculinity in this context had a powerful impact on these participants’ construction of masculinity, there are indications some are challenging overt expressions of hegemonic masculinity and, as such, hold more complex, transitional constructs of masculine identity.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die kwessie rondom manlikheid is kompleks en daar bestaan baie teorieë oor hoe geslag gebou word. Die sentrale uitgangspunt van hierdie studie is dat die konstruksie van geslag ‘n resultaat van dinamiese sosiale interaksie is en dus aan 'n post-strukturalistiese paradigma toegeskryf word. As sodanig bestaan die konsep van verskeie vorme van manlikheid om te verduidelik hoe verskillende kontekste manlike idees beïnvloed. Dit is nie 'n passiewe proses nie. Individue word as aktiewe skeppers van hulle eie identiteit beskou. Navorsing toon egter dat nie alle vorme van manlikheid gelyk is nie. Hegemoniese manlikheid hou 'n dominante posisie in stand deur die gebruik van strategieë van mag en oorheersing; die hoogsteposisie van status in die hiërargie van manlikheid word dus gestaaf. Die doel van hierdie studie is om na die narratiewe van pre-adolessente seuns oor manlikheid te luister. Post-strukturalistiese en sosiale konstruktivistiese idees wat aandui dat bedoelings vloeibaar en veranderbaar is, afhangende van kultuur en die betekenis wat deur 'n individu daaraan geheg word, voorsien dus 'n teoretiese raamwerk vir hierdie kwalitatiewe studie. Deur die gebruik van ‘n narratiewe ondersoek-ontwerp, is die betekenis van die individuele ervaringe van ses seuns in die konteks van 'n enkel-geslag voorbereidende skool geevalueer. Die verhale van hierdie deelnemers, wat doelgerig geselekteer is, is verkry deur gebruik te maak van onderhoude, 'n fokus groep en die konstruksie van 'n collage as data insamelingsmetodes. Die geanaliseerde data is beide in die vorm van verhale van die deelnemers sowel as 'n tematiese analise aangebied. Die bevindinge dui daarop dat binne hierdie private, enkel-geslag voorbereidende skoolkonteks, verskeie konstruksies van manlikheid gevorm word en het telkens beblyk in verhouding tot hegemoniese idees oor manlikheid gebou te word. Daar is bevind dat vaders 'n belangrike rol speel in die wyse waarop seuns hul manlike identiteit konstrueer. Eweknieë en die skoolkonteks speel egter ook 'n belangrike rol in die konstruksie van geslag. Die bevindinge het verder aan die lig gebring dat, alhoewel hegemoniese idees oor manlikheid in hierdie konteks 'n kragtige uitwerking op hierdie deelnemers se konstruksie van manlikheid het, daar aanduidings is dat sommige van die deelnemers openlike uitdrukkings van hegemoniese manlikheid uitdaag en sodoende meer komplekse oorgang-konstrukte van manlike identiteit het.

Full textAbstract:
Western societies are increasingly becoming aware of the many problems facing boys and men. In
Australia these problems include one of the highest youth suicide rates in the world, a high divorce
rate, with most divorces being instigated by women, the breakdown of the family, and conflicting
messages about what it is to be 'a man'. This study examines and describes how a group of 15-17
year old young men, who attend a private single sex school in Canberra, describe their beliefs and
attitudes about becoming adult men. Participants were asked to respond to questions posed in a
survey designed specifically for this research. These questions looked at relationships, gender roles,
family, fatherhood, work and leisure and whether impending manhood appeared confusing. The
context in which participants are situated is one of cultural and social flux; it was the current
discourse and debate in Australia about how to be a man, men's issues, and the perception of men
in crisis, which gave this study its broad contextual frame.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom about boys/young men who attend elite private schools, the
participants in this study emerged as egalitarian and flexible in their attitudes with regard to
relationships, gender roles, parenting and work. This study therefore in part refutes the stereotypes,
which surround students at private boys' schools, including those that purport that these students
will hold predominantly hegemonic, traditional views about masculinity and their role as men.
This thesis presents the voices of some three hundred young men, adding to an area of research,
which is contested and vigorous in its development. By exploring the beliefs and attitudes of a
group of Australians who are on the brink of manhood tentative insights have been offered, and,
believe, some illumination gained. The dilemmas posed for meaningful adulthood for young men in
Australia are very real. We need to listen to what young men have to say.

Full textAbstract:
Objective. The purpose of the study was to examine predictors of change in body weight and composition among freshmen during an academic year.
Research methods and procedure. Twenty-nine freshmen, 16 females (58.2+/-10.4 kg; BMI 21.2+/-2.9 kg/m2) and 13 males (74.6+/-11.9 kg; BMI 23.2+/-2.8 kg/m2) completed the study. Body weight and composition (DEXA), waist circumference (WC), energy intake (7-day food diary) and activity-related energy expenditure (accelerometry) were measured in September, December and March. The TFEQ and VO2peak were assessed at baseline.
Results. Significant increases in body weight (1.9+/-2.0 kg, P<0.05), BMI (0.6+/-0.7 kg/m2, P<0.05), WC (2.7+/-3.0 cm, P<0.05), % body fat (BF) (3.1+/-2.3%, P<0.01) and fat mass (2.6+/-1.8 kg, P<0.01) were noted in males, especially over the 1 st semester. No significant changes were observed in females. Correlations with females and males pooled together showed that over the academic year, baseline % body fat was associated with changes in weight and %BF ( r=-0.53, P<0.01; r=-0.41, P<0.05, respectively). Baseline %BF predicted 27% (P<0.05) of the change in weight. Baseline alcohol intake was related with changes in WC (r=0.45, P<0.05) and %BF ( r=0.58, P<0.01). It explained 34% (P <0.01) and 17% (P<0.05) of the changes respectively. The change in weight and %BF were also associated with baseline VO2peak (r=0.51, P<0.01; r=0.48, P<0.01; respectively). Dietary restraint also effected the change in % body fat (r=-0.43, P<0.05).
Discussion. Males, leaner freshmen, physically fit freshmen experienced greater increases in body weight, adiposity and abdominal fat. The best predictor of change in BF was baseline alcohol intake.
Keywords. freshmen, weight gain, body composition, waist circumference, energy balance

Full textAbstract:
During the past three decades, much research has occurred into students' conceptions as well as factors influencing them and how the conceptions are formed. This study reports on students' conceptions involving energy and the human body. Initially, a number of student conceptions within the overarching area of energy and the human body were identified by developing and administering questionnaires to 610 students ranging from Year 8 through to Year 12. Students' responses to the questionnaire items resulted in previously identified conceptions as well as a number of unreported ones. The unreported notions included: carbohydrates are different to sugars; energy is needed for organs to function; fats and their role in energy storage; the eye and ear do not convert energy but transfer it to the brain; sweat cools the skin due to contact with air; objects need energy to start moving but not to move; and aspects of respiration and digestion. Conceptions such as the particulate nature of energy, energy's usefulness, conservation and transfer of energy, role of digestion and respiration, sources of energy were associated with previously identified notions which were derived from both informal and formal learning situations. But, it was not possible to distinguish which source knowledge was derived from. From these notions, a series of possible pathways for conceptual development within the area of energy and the human body were described. Further analysis of the data indicated a number of ontological changes that can occur as the student-cohort became older. These ontological changes included a decline in the notion of energy being particulate to being non-particulate and not being described, through to being involved in the chemical bonds of molecules, the role and processes of digestion, the number of energy types and energy sources and how the eye and ear function.All these conceptions changed with student age and became more scientifically acceptable in their nature as students' formal education increased. Based upon the findings of the above questionnaires, a diagnostic paper and pencil instrument set of 20 items based upon a modified two tier multiple-choice format was developed to identify student held conceptions on energy and the human body. Subsequently, an interventionist strategy was designed and implemented to help students avoid the development of misconceptions as they construct acceptable concepts related to digestion and to respiration. This strategy follows the passage of food from its ingestion through to the absorbed foods conversion into ATP for use by the body. The findings of this study are to be of use to science teachers worldwide, not only in Western Australia as the findings of this thesis are relevant to educators of students in Years 8 to 12. The findings are related to energy in general but specifically to the students' own body. These findings relate directly to an intrinsically interesting feature, the student's own body. Another outcome of these misconception findings are two instruments which are likely to be of value to educators of Years 8 to 12 students. These are a diagnostic instrument designed to identify a number of alternative conceptions learners may hold and secondly a lesson sequence dealing with digestion and respiration and the role these have in the conversion and transfer of energy in the body.

Partículas de plásticos com tamanho inferior a 5 milímetros, denominadas microplásticos, estão entre os contaminantes que ameaçam o ambiente marinho. A presença de microplásticos em suspensão na coluna d água é motivo de grande preocupação, devido à sua ampla distribuição, capacidade de adsorção e dispersão de contaminantes orgânicos e potencial de ingestão por organismos na base da cadeia trófica. Nesse contexto, o objetivo central deste estudo foi avaliar a ocorrência desses resíduos nas águas superficiais na porção oeste da Baía de Guanabara, através da determinação de sua composição qualitativa e quantitativa. Amostras de microplásticos foram coletadas em três campanhas no verão de 2016, através do arrasto horizontal com rede de 330 micrômetros em três diferentes áreas potencialmente afetadas por plásticos. As partículas menores que 5 milímetros foram isoladas por peneiramento via úmida, triadas com o auxílio de uma lupa binocular e classificadas de acordo com a sua forma, cor e tamanho. A quantidade de microplásticos foi determinada por gravimetria, contagem manual e processamento digital de imagens, obtidas por microscopia óptica. O tipo de polímero em cada categoria foi determinado por espectroscopia de absorção no infravermelho médio (FT-IR) com refletância total atenuada (ATR). Os resultados obtidos, considerando-se as três campanhas, indicam que os polímeros mais representativos foram polietileno e polipropileno correspondendo, respectivamente, a 71,5 mais ou menos 8,1 por cento e 23,8 mais ou menos 5,8 por cento do total analisado. Partículas inferiores a 1 milímetro foram as mais abundantes com média de 34,0 mais ou menos 9,6 por cento. Os plásticos classificados como fragmentos e filmes foram os mais encontrados representando, respectivamente, os valores médios de 44,3 mais ou menos 9,3 por cento e 33,7 mais ou menos 10,1 por cento. Microplásticos coloridos foram os predominantes, apresentando valores acima de 40,0 por cento. Os resultados obtidos comprovam a ocorrência de microplásticos nas águas superficiais da Baía de Guanabara, indicando que a falta de manejo de resíduos sólidos em sua bacia de drenagem contribui com esse panorama, sendo esse, portanto mais um problema ambiental a ser investigado.
Plastics particles smaller than 5 millimeter, known collectively as microplastics, are among the hazardous contaminants that threaten the marine environment. Microplastics suspended in the water column are of concern because of its widespread distribution and potential to carry on adsorbed contaminants in a global scale as well the and potential ingestion by organisms at the base of the trophic chain. In this context, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of such wastes on surface waters of the western portion of Guanabara Bay, by determining their qualitative and quantitative composition. Microplastics samples were collected in three campaigns in the summer of 2016, through horizontal drag with 330 micrometers net in three different areas potentially affected by plastics. Particles smaller than 5 millimeter were isolated by wet sieving, screened with the aid of an ocular magnifier and classified according to their shape, color and size. The amount of microplastics was determined by gravimetry, manual counting and digital images processing, obtained by light microscopy. The type of polymer in each category was determined by absorption spectroscopy of mid infrared (FT-IR) with attenuated total reflectance (ATR). The results obtained, considering the three campaigns, indicate that the most representative polymers were polyethylene and polypropylene corresponding, respectively, to the mean values of 71.5 more or less 8.1 per cent and 23.8 more or less 5.8 per cent. Particles smaller than 1 mm were the most abundant indicating the mean of 34.0 more or less 9.6 per cent. Plastics classified as fragments and films were the most found representing, respectively, the mean values of 44.3 more or less 9.3 per cent e 33.7 more or less 10.1 per cent. Colored microplastics were the predominant, ones presenting values above 40.0 per cent. The results obtained confirm the occurrence of microplastics in the surface waters of Guanabara Bay, indicating that the lack of solid waste management in its drainage basin contributes to this scenario, which is therefore an environmental problem to be investigated.

Full textAbstract:
This focused ethnography considers children’s understandings and experiences of the body, and more specifically asks the question, ‘how do children come to know about the body?’. The study draws heavily upon the methodological ideas of the social studies of childhood, particularly the work of James (1993, 2013), to explore this question with nine and ten year old participants in two primary schools located in a northern English city. Findings highlight the complex interplay between structure and agency in understanding how children come to know about the body. Furthermore, children’s social and cultural locatedness, it is shown, shapes the ways in which they come to know about the body. Yet, the work of individual children in making sense of the body according to their particular experience is also highlighted. Indeed, it is through children’s experiential knowledge of the body that they come to challenge adult knowledge of, and control over, their bodies in school. Wider implications of the findings of this project include a more in-depth understanding of how children learn, which challenges the traditional notion that knowledge is passed down in a linear succession from adults to children. This, it is argued, has particular consequences in relation to understandings of children’s engagement with public health policy and formal learning about the body in school.

Full textAbstract:
Current scholarship in food studies generally, and literary food studies in particular, has overlooked important assumptions about the act of eating and its implications for subjectivity, embodiment, and agency. The field has taken up the idea of “eating” as a natural and universal physical process, immune to discourse. I argue that in so doing, the field has missed important opportunities to examine how our beliefs about what eating is and why are discursively informed. And, further, I argue that the discourses of eating play a role in regulating subjectivity, the material body, and its access to agency. Chapter 1 explores two well-known texts within literary food studies, The Edible Woman and Like Water for Chocolate, and is critical of aspects of each text that have been thus far neglected in the food studies critical conversation. By examining these overlooked pieces, I discuss how the eating discourses in both texts inform the characters’ subjectivities, their embodiment, and their agency within the novels. Chapter 2 examines two texts infrequently discussed in literary food studies, My Year of Meats and Xenogenesis, in order to illustrate the limits of the field’s scholarship so far and to explore how a discursive analysis of eating can provide new insight into how the subject, the body, and its agency can be conceptualized. Chapter 3 looks to contemporary cookery texts for clues about how we talk about eating outside a strictly academic purview and ways that a discursive analysis of the genre can demonstrate how eating shapes our everyday perceptions of subjectivity, embodiment, and agency.

The human body is a fascinatingly complex system of organs that work together in unison to create the functioning healthy human body with which we each are intimately familiar. To understand just a small specialized section of the body, some people seek out years of higher education in the form of an MD or PHD. Unfortunately the common person may never be exposed to even a fraction of that knowledge, leading to considerable misconceptions about physiology and health. Art is catchy medium that can encourage interest in physiology and medicine for the passerby more so than any textbook or college lecture could impart. My project involves developing a series of illustrative paintings highlighting each issue and pairing these with complementary essays detailing the basic science needed to understand the issue. Overall, my thesis will hopefully leave the viewer better informed about their body and share my own love of physiology and medicine with others.

The purpose of this study was to explore Morro Bay residents’ attitudes toward tourism and knowledge about tourism in the three major tourism impact categories (economic, socio-cultural, and environmental). A mail-back questionnaire was hand-delivered during the winter of 2011 to 720 Morro Bay residents. In general, Morro Bay residents had slightly positive attitudes toward tourism in their community. The mean attitude score was 3.27 on a 5-point Likert type scale. The subjects had a relatively low level of tourism knowledge. The mean total indirect tourism knowledge score was 2.98 on a 5-point Likert-type scale. Residents’ total direct tourism knowledge score was 0.33 on a scale of zero to one. A multiple regression model was used to test for an association between residents’ knowledge about tourism, community attachment, socio-demographic variables, and residents’ attitudes toward tourism. The only variables that were associated with residents’ attitude toward tourism were: length of residency, interest in learning more about tourism, level of education, household income, subjective tourism knowledge, economic tourism knowledge, and environmental tourism knowledge. The two most significant variables were economic tourism knowledge and environmental tourism knowledge. Future research should test the effectiveness of different methods to increase residents’ tourism knowledge.

The objectives of this research project were to (1) explore perceptions and experiences related to body dissatisfaction, aging, and the use of body work practices among baby boomer and older women; and (2) explore healthy eating attitudes and barriers, food choice influences, dieting behaviours, and food product usage/attitudes among these women. Fourteen focus groups with baby boomer and older women were conducted in urban and rural areas of Manitoba (n=137). Participants also completed a questionnaire and height and weight measurements. Body image, aging and food were intimately connected in women’s lives. Feelings about the body were closely connected to the experience of aging and perceptions of the body influenced food choices and attitudes. This thesis adds value to the existing literature by exploring the connections between aging, food, and the body, from the perspectives of baby boomer and older women.

Full textAbstract:
This project discusses the ways in which Ray Bradbury’s novel Fahrenheit 451 functions as an indictment of media culture. While many analyses of the novel focus on the text’s sweeping themes of literary censorship, this study instead centers on Bradbury’s depiction of media—particularly television—culture and the ways in which Bradbury feared it could be harmful. Although Bradbury wrote about a future society a century beyond his own, his novel serves as a remarkable reflection of his contemporaneous culture’s media consumption and gendered divisions; this thesis discusses Bradbury’s novel alongside such forces, considering the effects such influences may have had on his work.

Full textAbstract:
There has been much talk in the public arena about the meanings of the overweight body. While feminist scholars have long theorized and studied the oppressive effects of hegemonic beauty norms, in recent years several groups such as the Centers for Disease Control, the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (a non-profit fat acceptance organization), and the Center for Consumer Freedom (a non-profit organization representing the food industry), have stepped up claims-making about the fat body and what it represents. How are these competing cultural messages promulgated by these cultural producers? Do these messages resonate with individuals? Moreover, how meaningful are these cultural messages in shaping day to day lives?Using content/frame analysis, survey data (n=456), and in-depth qualitative interviews (n=42), my dissertation examines framing competitions and dynamics among four competing cultural frames about the overweight body (the health frame, beauty frame, market choice frame, and social justice frame). I also examine the relationship between these cultural frames and individual agents. Specifically, I look at how respondents use culture by accepting, redefining, and rejecting elements of various frames. In my dissertation, I elaborate on my empirical findings and theoretical developments about health, beauty, individual and corporate responsibility, and social justice; the relationship between culture and agents; policy implications; and directions for future research.

In this thesis I explore my obsession with teaching the physical theatre body over the past twenty-five years.Two sets of questions are proposed: How does the teaching of physical theatre respond to violence and the violated body; and how does pedagogy change when it moves from one context to another? Firstly, I argue that the pedagogy developed by Jacques Lecoq in Paris responded like a pendulum to the extreme violence perpetrated on bodies during the Second World War. I argue that my own practice, influenced by my two years of study at École Jacques Lecoq (1984-1986), continued this tradition by responding to what, I propose, existed as a ‘culture of violence’ in South Africa from the period of colonialism through the apartheid era and into the present. I analyse the impact of violence on the body by focusing on three consequences - stillness, erasure and rupture - and come to an understanding of how the teaching of physical theatre, as per Lecoq and myself, counters all three with a focus on the moving, articulate, individuated body capable of transformation. Secondly, I propose that pedagogy responds to geographic, philosophical and historical contexts and is subject to modification when context changes. The methodology has included conventional research, a comparative analysis of the two contexts, and an analysis of my own experiences - from notebooks that I have kept - as a student and teacher.

Full textAbstract:
The underachievement of boys in school seems to be the general norm in many countries. Many studies have tried to find the key to this problem; still, no one seems to have found it. Studies about brain research, boys’ attitudes or motivation are trying to find the final solution and the appropriate strategies to address the problem. This degree project has chosen to explore if single-sex classrooms can enhance boys’ achievement in the language classrooms. Many scholars seem to be convinced that single-sex teaching can be the solution of the underachievement of the male students in compulsory schools. However the findings of this degree project show that more work must be done in this field to accept single-sex teaching as the solution to close the gender gap. Many recent articles, books and documents about the actual topic have been reviewed to give some light to this degree project.

Rance, Nicola M. "Female eating disorder clients' beliefs about female therapists' body size and eating behaviours : an exploration using thematic analysis." Thesis, University of the West of England, Bristol, 2013. http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/22130/.
Full textAbstract:
Although people with an eating disorder are known to observe and assess body related stimuli, research has yet to explore these behaviours in the therapy room. Consequently, little is known about clients’ feelings about, and responses to, a therapist’s body, or the potential for a therapist’s body to have an impact upon the process and outcome of treatment. This lack of knowledge is problematic given client preferences and expectations can affect their willingness to engage in, and be influenced by, their therapist and the therapy process, and the fact that a fundamental part of the intra- and interpersonal experience of people with an ED is that of feeling invisible, unheard and worthless. It is also problematic given the poor recovery rates and high levels of drop out in eating disorders treatment and the fact that clinical guidance providers, researchers in the eating disorders (ED) field and individuals who have recovered from AN, all advocate psychological interventions as part of AN treatment. This study begins the process of redressing this omission by exploring ED clients’ beliefs regarding what is important about an ED therapist’s body weight and shape, eating behaviours and relationship with food. Twelve women who self-identified as recovered or on the road to recovery from AN, and had received counselling for their ED from a female therapist, participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data and three overarching themes were developed. The first theme – “Wearing Eating Disorder Glasses” – described the women’s observational tendencies. The second theme – “You’re Making All Sorts of Assumptions as a Client” – illustrated the women’s tendency to place great emphasis on body-related visual information when forming their opinions of, and beliefs about, a therapist. And the third theme – Appearance Matters – demonstrated the ways in which the women’s observation-based assumptions seemed to have potentially far-reaching implications for their attitude towards the therapeutic endeavour. Accordingly, the analysis offers preliminary evidence of a potentially important process taking place in the therapy room; namely, ED clients’ tendency to both observe their therapist’s body and eating behaviours, and make assumptions and judgements based on what they have seen. The analysis also suggests that ED clients’ assumptions and judgements may influence both their beliefs about their therapist’s ability to help them, and their willingness to engage in the therapeutic endeavour. Possible limitations of this study, areas for future research, and implications for practitioners in general and for counselling psychology and counselling psychologists in particular, are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The research of Stice et al. (1994) and Stice and Shaw (1994) proposed several mechanisms that may mediate the adverse effects of media exposure to the thin ideal including internalization of the thin-ideal, negative affect, and body dissatisfaction. The purpose of this study was to extend initial research of Stice and Shaw (1994) by incorporating two forms of media (e.g., TV and Magazines) to assess the effects of exposure to the media portrayal of ideal body shape on women's mood, body satisfaction, and internalization of societal values concerning attractiveness. The relation of these variables to bulimic symptomatology was examined. The current study improved upon Stice and Shaw's study (1994) by matching participants' scores on BMI, level of negative affect, and level of body satisfaction before random assignment to the experimental conditions. Female undergraduates aged 18 to 25 years participated in premeasure (N = 198) and post measure (N = 164) conditions. Results from repeated mulitvariate analysis indicated media exposure to ideal-body images demonstrated no significant changes in women's affect, body satisfaction or endorsement of the thin ideal. Indirect support for the sociocultural theory of eating disorders was provided by multiple regression analyses that demonstrated lower levels of satisfaction with size and shape of body and higher levels of negative affect predicted bulimic symptomatology in women. Future research should determine which females are at greater risk than others for the development of body dissatisfaction, negative mood, and internalization of U.S. values of attractiveness in response to media related messages communicating a thin ideal.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Public Health - MPHThe prevalence of obesity is reported to be high among health workers both in high-income and low-income countries. This is alarming, as health workers not only serve the community’s health needs, but should also serve as role models for a healthy lifestyle. Health workers are instrumental in delivering quality health care to patients and the entire population at large and if they are unable to take care of their own health, staff shortages may become severe, resulting in deteriorating health service delivery. It is therefore important that obesity among health workers is reduced before it gets worse. It has been noted that there is an increasing prevalence of obesity among health workers, which in turn is a common risk factor in all non-communicable diseases. The current study explored perceptions and attitudes about obesity amongst health workers in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal province. This was an explorative and descriptive qualitative study utilizing in-depth interviews for data collection. A total of 18 health workers from the three selected hospitals in Pietermaritzburg medical metropolitan were interviewed. Thematic analysis was done, using. a priori themes from the health belief model. The current study found that all health workers were aware of the negative consequences of being overweight or obese. However, only a few of the participating health workers chose to adopt a healthy lifestyle as a result of their weight. Some of the positive motivators were improving their public image, improving their health status and becoming more flexible, while negative motivators were finding it difficult to fit into old clothes, fear of suffering from obesity related conditions and reducing the risk of suffering from NCDs. The health worker participants reported that African cultural beliefs, limited operational times of physical activity facilities and unavailability of healthy food were barriers to adopting a healthy lifestyle. The African cultural belief of considering people who are overweight to be healthy, progressive and prosperous prevents people from changing their behaviour on weight control. In addition, participating hospitals do not have independent physical exercising facilities as such the available physiotherapy departments give priority to patients, resulting in staff members having only limited hours for exercising. Lastly, the participating hospitals did not sell healthy food options in the cafeterias resulting in health workers buying what is available. Public health care facilities need to invest in their work force. This may include giving health workers access to physical exercise facilities and affordable healthy food within the hospital. The infrastructure and system should enable them to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Institutions should introduce health-behaviour change programmes on obesity and other NCDs in order to combat established cultural norms, which advocate for overweight body sizes to be desirable because of positive cultural connotation afforded to them.

This dissertation place oneself in the line search Language, literature and Society: speech in communication, religious speech, pedagogic speech, politic speech and has as a general goal to observe the transformations in Barbie’s doll profile, during the analyses of the discursive and image mechanisms used for the advertising speech to transform the identity of the doll. As a motivational point, this work has started from the importance of considerate the relations between the social and historical transformations and the construction of a product’s identity from the advertising – in that case, the transformations occurred in 2016, with deep innovations that was observed and that indicates some new identity to Barbie doll. The analyses of the selected propagandas for this work – that intend not only to illustrate the evolutionary trajectory of the advertising text but also to mark the constitution of the doll’s identity during the years – was made from concepts of speech and dialogism, indicated for Bakhtin (2003, 2006); identity notions, as Bauman (2005) and verbal-visuality elements, predicated on Brait (2013). With this study, can be verified the importance of the advertising speech for the fixation of social and historical values and for the construction of a products identity.
A presente dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa Língua, literatura e sociedade: discurso na comunicação, discurso religioso, discurso pedagógico, discurso político e tem por objetivo geral observar as transformações ocorridas no perfil da boneca Barbie, ao analisar os mecanismos discursivos e imagéticos utilizados pelo discurso publicitário para a transformação da identidade da boneca. Como ponto motivador, partiu-se da importância de se considerar as relações estabelecidas entre transformações sócio históricas e construção identitária de um produto, por meio da publicidade – no caso, as mudanças ocorridas em 2016, com inovações profundas observadas e indicativas de nova identidade da boneca Barbie. A análise das peças selecionadas para esta pesquisa – que procuraram não só ilustrar o percurso evolutivo do texto publicitário, mas também marcar a constituição identitária da boneca ao longo de sua existência – foi realizada à luz de conceitos de discurso e dialogismo, apontados por Bakhtin (2003, 2006); da noção de identidade, conforme Bauman (2005) e de elementos de verbo-visualidade, fundamentada por Brait (2013). Com este estudo, verifica-se a importância do discurso publicitário para a fixação de valores sócio-culturais e para a construção da identidade de um produto.

Full textAbstract:
Heterosexuality is coded on-screen in many musical films from the last century as a “celebratory ideal.” 1 This thesis explores the queer possibilities of the so-called heterosexual male in three films spanning a decade from 1977 with Badham's Saturday Night Fever and Grease (Kleiser, 1978), to 1987's Dirty Dancing (Ardolino). Each of the films I have examined foreground heterosexual romance. However, by looking at the male body in these films I have argued for the ways in which the male, dancing body works against these films' assertion of a narrative heterosexuality. I have shown how these films can be read as queer by the way they highlight the performativity of the male body, and through their camp aestheticism which complicates normative ideas about desire, sexuality and gender. I interrogate claims emerging from work in musical genre theory, which describes the musical as “the most heterosexist of all the Hollywood filmic forms.”2 By examining existing theory on the role of the camp sensibility within musical film I argue that there are ways that the musical films analysed dismiss their narrative heteronormativity and instead mark themselves as queer. The films do this by aligning the performativity of dance with the queer discourse that uses as its cornerstone the notion of the performativity of gender and sexuality. I have argued that these films portray an embattled masculinity coming to the fore within society (and cinema) in the 1970s, into the 1980s. The chapters in this thesis are organised according to the analyses' of the three films. The chapters explore themes of camp aesthetics by understanding camp's tendency to disrupt the clear disparities between ‘being and seeming'.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides an in-depth understanding of customers’ experience regarding sustainable secondary packages in the Swedish beauty market. The main topics is consistent of three areas, Sustainability, Customer Experiences and Secondary Package, which is analysed through the beauty market. The research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of how the areas of sustainability and secondary packages can be intertwined to create a positive customer experience in the beauty market. The increasing importance of implementing sustainability actions has led to the problematization in the beauty market to provide a positive customer experience through the secondary packages. Moreover, packages in the beauty market have always played an important role as the customer expect it to provide them with something more than the product itself. In order to incorporate the sustainability aspect without inflicting on the customer experience, it is crucial to determine which criteria’s needs to be fulfilled in order to provide a positive customer experience. To investigate the research issues, two questions were defined: (1) What effect does sustainable secondary packages have on the customer experience in the beauty market? (2) How can beauty e-retailers create a positive customer experience through a sustainable secondary package? To answer these research question and see the relationship between sustainability, customer experience and secondary packages, a conceptual framework was developed. The empirical foundation was built upon a qualitative research with customer interviews, focus groups and a research of beauty e-retailers’ operations, in order to obtain a broad view of the relative unexplored area. It was concluded that customers within the beauty market have great concerns for the environmental impact secondary packages cause. Moreover, the expectations on the secondary packages was determined to be linked to the customers need, if it were to be hedonic or utilitarian. In order to provide a positive customer experience through the secondary packages, numerous factors were detected that needed to be fulfilled which led to the creation of “The customer experience framework: how to create positive customer experience through secondary package”.
