Abstract:
Traditionally, the essence and spirit of place dictated its use. Harmoniously intertwined, physical and mythical attributes were looked to in order to preserve the spirit of place (Genius loci). Today, such a place is the Atteridgeville fresh water reservoirs. Providing an opportune site to reclaim the spirit of place for the contemporary resident. Understanding that the shack typology is not of place but of circumstances - this dissertation searches for an architecture of place in the scene of a democratic South Africa. This study focuses on the provision of cultural, public spaces, based on an approach that recognises established townships as aspiring suburbs rather than dormitory towns.

Abstract:
Ramohoebo Square, the heart of Atteridgeville, currently lies dormant. This document explores the possibility of introducing a new pattern of events to expose the extraordinary in the midst of the mundane. Conventional approaches to township architecture are challenged as a means to return place to the citizens of Atteridgeville. This study is dedicated to recreational space guided by an underlying theme of the surreal in an attempt to celebrate and enhance the quotidian by allowing for moments of serendipity and reverie. An argument is developed towards changing attitudes and preconceived ideas towards townships and the bodies who occupy them by proposing a new perspective on old systems.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats var att klargöra vad några psykiatriskötare som är yrkesverksamma inom den slutna psykiatrin har för erfarenheter kring diagnosen och bemötande av personer som lider av borderline personlighetsstörning. De övergripande frågeställningarna

var: Hur beskriver intervjupersonerna diagnosen BPS? Vad har intervjupersonerna för egna erfarenheter kring mötet med personer som lider av BPS? Och vad anser intervjupersonerna att ”gott bemötande av personer som lider av BPS är? Metoden som användes var en kvalitativ intervju med halvstrukturerat upplägg. Intervjuerna gjordes med fyra yrkesverksamma psykiatriskötare. De utskrivna intervjuerna tolkades utifrån ett hermeneutiskt perspektiv. Resultaten uppvisar främst likheter i vad skötarna har för tankar kring bemötande av personer som lider av borderline personlighetsstörning. Det som framträdde som mest avgörande för bemötande av dessa patienter var att man som skötare skulle förhålla sig konsekvent och vara rak och ärlig. Undersökningens resultat är användbart för såväl blivande som redan yrkesverksamma psykiatriskötare och andra inom vårdområden som kommer i kontakt med borderlinepatienter, då man som vårdpersonal med stor sannolikhet någon gång kommer att stöta på en patient som lider av BPS.

Abstract:
As intolerance against Mexican Americans and Mexican migrants persists in the United States-- apparent in the passage of Arizona State Bill 1070, Arizona House Bill 2281, and multiple English-only laws-- Chicanas and Mexicanas continue to resist by sustaining relationships and knowledge through storytelling. This dissertation employs a floating borderlands framework to explore how Chicanas and Mexicanas in the United States-Mexico borderlands use storytelling in oral and written traditions to keep cultural and regional knowledge. Floating borderlands is an interdisciplinary framework that reveals survivance, that is, survival as an act of resistance, through cultural maintenance, agency, and creativity in lived experiences. Drawing upon concepts and research from disciplines that include Mexican American Studies, American Indian Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, and Education, floating borderlands reveals how storytelling helps Chicanas and Mexicanas maintain an understanding of home and homelands that facilitates resistance to obstacles such as racial and gender discrimination and challenges to their right to be in these spaces. This dissertation acknowledges multiple forms of knowledge keeping by Chicanas and Mexicanas throughout the last two centuries; recognizes intersectionality; and complicates or creates multiple layers in narratives of the U.S.-Mexico borderlands. This project is directly informed by narratives of Chicana and Mexicana life in the borderlands. It centers oral and written traditions, including my original poetry. Key words: Chicanas, Mexicanas, border, borderlands, floating borderlands, survivance, oral traditions, written traditions, home, homelands, migration, identity, cultural maintenance, poetry, story.

Abstract : This dissertation explores narratives of men who have sex with men (MSM) as spaces for the negotiation of conflicting meanings and for the reproduction of ways of experiencing masculinity and sexuality. From a queer linguistics approach, which combines critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1992) with insights from materialist queer theory (Floyd, 2009), the research investigates the construction of male identities and the recontextualization of certain social practices related to sexuality (such as ?coming out?) in the life narratives produced by MSM. In order to achieve these objectives, five narrative interviews conducted with MSM in Florianopolis-SC were analyzed thoroughly with the aid of analytical categories proposed by van Leeuwen (2008) for the representation of social actors and their actions. In terms of discursive practice, the analysis demonstrated that the overall context of the telling and the degree of affiliation (Stivers, 2008) between the researcher and interviewees towards the narrated event determined the narrative length, structure and the degree of access of the interviewer to the narratives. In terms of social practice, the analysis showed that MSM produce either narratives of heteromasculinity in which they perform specific ideals of masculinity of the Brazilian culture or narratives of homomasculinity in which they perform as ?normal? gay men and oppose their selves to the pathological figure of ?bicha louca? (crazy faggot?). Furthermore, the analysis indicates that those performances are accompanied by a process of reification of same-sex desire in discourse and the reproduction of a neoliberal ideology characterized by freedom and individual responsibility. Overall, the study reveals the pervasiveness of the closet as a social structure in Brazil and suggests the need to queer the institutions, which depends on economic justice brought by social programs that empower working class queers.

Esta tese explora as narrativas de homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) como espaços para a negociação de significados em conflito e para a reprodução de formas de experienciar a masculinidade e a sexualidade. A partir de uma abordagem de linguística queer, que combina a análise crítica do discurso (Fairclough, 1992) com ideias da teoria queer materialista (Floyd, 2009), a pesquisa investiga a construção de identidades masculinas e a recontextualização de certas práticas sociais relacionadas à sexualidade (tais como sair do armário ) nas narrativas de vida produzidas por HSH. De forma a atingir esses objetivos, foram analisadas intensivamente cinco entrevistas narrativas conduzidas com HSH em Florianópolis-SC com o auxílio de categorias de análise propostas por van Leeuwen (2008). Em termos da prática discursiva, a análise demonstrou que o contexto da fala como um todo e o grau de afiliação (Stivers, 2008) entre o pesquisador e os informantes com relação ao evento narrado determinaram a extensão da narrativa, a estrutura e o grau de acesso do entrevistador às narrativas. Em termos da prática social, a análise mostrou que HSH produzem tanto narrativas de heteromasculinidade, nas quais eles performam ideais de masculinidade específicos da cultura brasileira, quanto narrativas de homomasculinidade, nas quais eles performam como homens gays normais e se opõem à figura patológica da bicha louca . Além disso, a análise indica que essas performances são acompanhadas por um processo de reificação do desejo pelo mesmo sexo no discurso e justificadas por uma ideologia neoliberal caracterizada pelo direito à liberdade e responsabilidade individual. De modo geral, o estudo revela o papel do armário como uma estrutura social generalizada no Brasil e sugere a necessidade de subverter as instituições sociais, o que depende de uma justiça econômica resultante de programas sociais que empoderem pessoas queer das classes trabalhadoras.

Fierro, Ana V. "Multimodal Biliteracy in the Arizona-Sonora Borderland." Thesis, The University of Arizona, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10811178.

Full text
Abstract:

This qualitative study explored multimodal biliteracy found in the Arizona-Sonora borderland, a region thriving with linguistic and cultural diversity despite having an English-only policy. According to Reyes (2012) biliteracy is to think, speak, read, and write in two or more languages, and there are various modes for reading and writing in the 21st century (Reyes, Acosta, Fierro, Fu, & Zapien, 2017). This dissertation focused on Spanish and English bilinguals. First, I present a literature review (Appendix A) informed by a sociocultural framework (Vygotsky, 1978) for understanding biliteracy as a social practice and valuing language as a resource (Ruiz, 1987). Funds of knowledge (González, Moll, Amanti, 2005; Moll, González, Amanti, & Neff, 1994) is an important component in framing this qualitative study and applying methods informing an inclusive pedagogy for bilinguals. Subsequently, I go over the photographs and multimodal composition presented in two case studies of Spanish and English bilinguals. The first case study (Appendix B) documents biliteracy in the household and local community of bilinguals through photography. It contributes to previous research by Reyes, DaSilva Iddings, and Feller (2016) and the two themes from their analysis: 1) Expanding definitions of language and literacy and 2) Deepening the understanding of funds of knowledge. The second case study (Appendix C) examines how bilinguals critically and creatively expressed their Spanish and English in a multimodal composition. Thinking critically about literacy meant reflecting on their everyday reading and writing practices as bilinguals, while being creative meant thinking about the various modes of reading and writing in two languages. This moves literacy beyond a monolingual and monomodal practice into one that cultivates diversity for equity in education for bilinguals. I seek an empowering pedagogy for bilinguals by valuing and making space for linguistic and cultural diversity in the classroom. Biliteracy is a valuable contribution to class and the learning process of students with more than one language. The primary purpose of this dissertation, like funds of knowledge, was to develop critical innovations in teaching (Moll, Amanti, Neff, & González, 1992) biliteracy for the 21st century. Findings from the photographs, multimodal compositions, written reflections, and retrospective interviews demonstrate how Spanish and English biliteracy is practiced in various modes (e.g. music, dancing, singing, traditional family recipes, and religious/spiritual altars) in the Arizona-Sonora borderland.

Abstract:
Vagueness is ubiquitous in natural language. It seems incompatible with classical, bivalent logic, which tells us that every statement is either true or false, and none is vaguely true. Yet we do manage to reason using vague natural language. In fact, the majority of our day-to-day reasoning involves vague terms and concepts. There is a puzzle here: how do we perform this remarkable feat of reasoning? I argue that vagueness is a kind of semantic indecision. In short, that means we cannot say exactly who is bald and who is not because we have never decided the precise meaning of the word 'bald'--there are some borderline cases in the middle, which might be bald or might not. That is a popular general strategy for addressing vagueness. Those who use it, however, do not often say what they mean by 'borderline case'. It is most frequently used in a loose way to refer to in-between items: those people who are neither clearly bald nor clearly not bald. But under that loose description, the notion of borderline cases is ambiguous, and some of its possible meanings create serious problems for semantic theories of vagueness.Here, I clarify the notion of a borderline case, so that borderline cases can be used profitably as a key element in a successful theory of vagueness. After carefully developing my account of borderline cases, I demonstrate its usefulness by proposing a theory of vagueness based upon it. My theory, vagueness as permission, explains how classical logic can be used to model even vague natural language.

Abstract:
Syftet med denna studie har varit att titta på hallens fysiska miljö i en barngrupp med ett till treåringar, samt dialogen mellan barn och pedagogerna i hallmiljön. Vi har tittat på två olika förskolor i samma kommun och i samma åldersgrupp.Hallens miljö är inte alltid utformad efter barnen och deras behov. Dialogen bör fokusera på att hjälpa barnen i deras utveckling av självkompetens i enlighet med Sterns utvecklingspsykologiska teori gällande det kompetenta barnet och Vygotskijs sociokulturella teori.Vi har använt oss av deltagande observationer genom filminspelning och etnografiska studier för att synliggöra dialogerna och den pedagogiska miljöns inverkan på barnens självkompetens i hallen som ett gränsland.Vi har sett att dialogernas betydelse för en ökad självkompetens hos barnen är den viktigaste aspekten att ta tillvara på. När vi talar om dialoger, så syftar vi på dialogerna som sker mellan barn och pedagog, men även mellan pedagoger och föräldrar. För att barnen ska ges bäst möjliga förutsättning till en ökad självkompetens behövs tillit och lyhördhet för barnens erfarenheter, samt att ge barnen tid för att få uttrycka dessa, att våga släppa på kontrollen som vuxen och inta ett barnperspektiv.

Abstract:
The aim of the study is to investigate how clinicians in psychiatric care for adults consider borderline personality disorder to be manifested in men and women, respectively. Could there be a tendency to over-diagnose women and under-diagnose men? In addition, the purpose of the study is to bring clarity to the reasons for gender differences within borderline personality as perceived by the clinicians. The study is based on an inductive approach, in which interviews have been conducted with twelve clinicians working with borderline personality disorders to gain a deeper understanding of how the clinicians consider the manifestations of gender differences. The clinicians described tendencies for women to deliberate self-harm, have mood swings and problems in relations. Men with borderline personality disorders are described as having a higher degree of e.g. aggressiveness, addiction and criminal behaviour than women with the same diagnosis. Half of the informants think men are under- diagnosed for borderline personality disorders. This may indicate that other diagnoses are given to men instead or that men end up in other treatments. Possible explanations to the gender differences are discussed, such as societal factors, gender roles or criteria for diagnosis based on gender.

Abstract:

Background: Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that one to two percent of the population and at least every fourth patient that have received treatment at a psychiatric clinic has been diagnosed with. BPD is most common in women between teenage and early adulthood. Purpose: The aim of this literature study was to emphasize the nursing care of patients diagnosed with BPD within different perspectives. Method: A literature study was conducted to get a deeper understanding for the nursing care of patients with BPD. The search for pertinent articles, answering to the aim of the study, was done in different databases. The data has been analysed with content analysis and main categories were developed. Results: The two main categories that were formed throughout the data were; care givers perspective of the nursing care and the patient’s perspective of the nursing care. The results show, that the most important supporting variable for the patients were the establishment of a trustworthy nurse-patient relationship, gained on trust, seeing as trust is an important component in the patient’s recovery. Conclusions: Patient’s diagnosed with BPD is a complicated patient group since the patient is in a “black or white” state of mind. Trust and maintaining relationships is components that are of enormous importance for these patients recovery process.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Borderline personlighetsstörning (BPS) har en bred symtombild som främst karaktäriseras av en känslomässig instabilitet hos individen. Flertalet förklaringar till uppkomsten finns men de allra flesta grundar sig i en otrygg uppväxt. Inom patientgruppen är det vanligt med suicidala handlingar samt ett aktivt självskadebeteende utan avsikt att avlida. Syfte: Denna studie siktade till en ökad insyn och förståelse för hur patientgruppen upplevde det att leva med diagnosen BPS samt hur de upplevde att de blir bemötta inom vården.Metod: Litteraturstudien genomfördes med en kvalitativ ansats. Åtta stycken vetenskapliga artiklar svarade mot underliggande studies syfte. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i följande kategorier: Att få diagnosen BPS, ett liv i utanförskap, att sträva efter hälsa och värdighet, att ha städig kontakt med vården, att uppleva sig stämplad, att ha relationer till specifika andra samt att önska sig specialiserad vård, delaktighet, tid, tillgång och kontinuitet. Slutsats: För att kunna ge patientgruppen adekvat vård samt bygga goda vårdrelationer är det av yttersta vikt att vårdpersonalen har kunskap kring patientgruppens livsvärld. Genom en ökad kunskap och förståelse är förhoppningen att minska missförstånd, bristande kommunikation samt känslan av maktlöshet i relationen mellan vårdpersonalen samt patientgruppen, vilket i sin tur kan reducera patientgruppens upplevelse av att vara stämplad.
Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) has a broad symptomatology mainly characterized by emotional instability. There is several explanations for the rise but the vast majority are based in an insecure upbringing. Within the patient group it is common with suicidal acts and active self-injury without the intent to die.Objective: This study aimed to greater transparency and understanding of how the patient group experienced it to live with a diagnosis of BPD and how they felt that they were treated within the care system.Method: The literature review was conducted with a qualitative approach. Eight scientific papers responded to the underlying studies purpose.Results: The analysis resulted in the following categories: Getting diagnosed with BPD, a life of alienation, to strive for health and dignity, to have steady contact with health care, to experience themselves as stamped, to have relationships with specific others and also to wish for specialized care, participation, time, availability and continuity.Conclusion: In order to give the patient group adequate care and build good relationships it is of the utmost importance that health professionals have knowledge of the patient groups life world. Through increased knowledge and understanding, the hope is to reduce misunderstandings, lack of communication and the sense of powerlessness in the relationship between the nursing staff and the patient group, which in turn may reduce the patient group experience of being stamped.

Abstract:
The border between Russia and Estonia has undergone significant changes in the past two and a half decades from a border between two Soviet republics to an international border and external EU border. In the public discourse and the scholarly literature, this border has been characterised as a battlefield shaped by divergent geopolitical visions and evaluations of the shared past. While Estonia has sought to distance itself from Russia and condemns the Soviet past as an occupation, Russia derives pride from its historical role in liberating Europe in World War II and continues to hold on to positive memories of the Soviet past and its role in the Baltic states. The thesis looks at how these official narratives have been negotiated locally in the once united border towns of Narva and Ivangorod in the Russian-Estonian borderland. Based on an extended fieldwork stay and the analysis 58 life-story interviews with people living on both sides of the border, it examines how people living in the borderland position themselves in the context of shifting narrative and structural frameworks. How do they re-evaluate the relations to the other side and reconsider their memories of the shared past? In examining these questions, the thesis seeks to make two general contributions to existing literature: it brings together the fields of border studies and memory studies to explore the reconfiguration of both temporal and spatial orderings in the making of a border. Secondly, it outlines a model for studying border change that focuses on the interrelations between the vernacular and the official level. The first part of the thesis looks at the politics of temporal orderings in the borderland and explores how people belonging to different ethnic groups and generations remember the past in the context of changing borders. It shows how people in part reproduce the polarised narratives mobilised at the official level but also how local experiences and generational change lead to a diversification of temporal orderings. The second part of the thesis explores the politics of spatial orderings in post-socialist memories. It looks at how by remembering the past people both reproduce and undermine borders; it demonstrates that it is not simply the memories of a shared past but also new inequalities following the establishment of the border that shape the ways in which people relate to their cross-border neighbours. Overall, the thesis provides a complex and differentiated account of border change in which different temporalities and spatialities at the vernacular and official levels can interact, interrelate and stand in opposition to each other. It shows that although people living in the borderland experience constraints and even powerlessness in the face of changes in the border, they have an active role in negotiating the changes and develop multiple responses to official narratives. It demonstrates how by appropriating official narratives and relating them to their own purposes, people articulate local concerns and make claims for belonging, recognition and state care in the face of the changes.

From current clinical practice and research two principally different concepts have emerged: The syndrome concept of borderline personality disorder ( BPD ) as identified by the DSM-III or the Diagnostic Interview for Borderline (DIB) and the psychodynamic concept of borderline personality organization (BPO) as defined from the structural Interview (SI) by Otto Kernberg. In the first part of the present study, the DIB, the SI and a percept-genetic test called Defense Mechanism test (DMT) have been utilized in a clinical study on psychiatric inpatients. In the second part completed suicides are studied among patients with borderline personality disorder. Inter-rater reliability was satisfactory for the DIB both when utilized as a clinical interview and as a chart scoring instrument. Previous research findings concerning descriptive validity of the BPD concept were further supported. Fairly reliable scorings of personality organization could be made from the SI. BPO turned out to be a very inclusive concept and a subgroup (46%) also met criteria for BPD. By means of the DMT specific psychodynamic features were identified among patients with BPD which discriminated them from patients with other personality disorders or schizophrenic disorder. It is concluded, that there is empirical support to consider BPD a valid diagnostic entity. BPO should be conceptualized as a level of personality functioning rather than a diagnostic category and its validity remains to be proven. Patients with BPD were not seriously overrepresented in a material of 145 psychiatric patients, suicided during inpatient care or shortly after discharge 1961 to 1980. The number and proportion of borderline patients, however, increased for every five- years-period. In an analysis of cases suicided during inpatient treatment, repressive/rejective behavior from staff was frequently observed. Risk factors were identified in comparative studies. Male sex, extensive earlier hospitalization, repressive/rejective staff behavior and frequent previous suicide attempts were associated with completed suicides. A specific pattern of psychological variables was identified among suicided borderline patients including antisocial traits, drug abuse and a less intense interpersonal attachment.

Abstract:
A clínica psicanalítica contemporânea está desafiada a responder a condições emocionais marcadas por estados de solidão, desamparo, desorganização e enfraquecimento da experiência de alteridade, que podem se expressar nos chamados pacientes fronteiriços (borderline). Nesses estados psicopatológicos, descritos na literatura psicanalítica desde a década de 1930, há um componente central que se destaca e que inspirou a presente investigação. Trata-se da angústia de perda de objeto e da busca desesperada pelo outro na esperança de aplacar estados gravemente desestruturantes. Esta tese apresenta ponderações teóricas sobre esses pacientes a partir de importantes autores da psicanálise, além de uma revisão da literatura disponível em bases de dados relevantes, abrangendo pesquisas realizadas nos dez últimos anos sobre adicção e pacientes fronteiriços. Realizada a partir desse aprofundado estudo teórico, esta pesquisa teve o duplo objetivo de refletir sobre a forma de relacionamento estabelecida pelos pacientes fronteiriços e de ampliar a compreensão do drama contido nesse sofrimento. A investigação caracteriza-se como pesquisa psicanalítica qualitativa, desenvolvida com estudo de três casos clínicos: uma mulher de 41 anos, um adolescente de 14 e um homem de 32. Todos foram atendidos em contexto de psicoterapia psicanalítica individual, assim como todas as etapas da pesquisa ocorreram sustentadas pelo método psicanalítico, desde a produção, o registro e o tratamento do material, apresentado na forma de narrativas. Evidenciou-se a predominância de relacionamentos adictivos como marca proeminente da dinâmica dos três casos estudados. Tal dinâmica se manifestou intensamente na relação terapêutica e em outros vínculos na vida dessas pessoas, como se observou pelo relato dos pacientes. Considerando a história e os desenvolvimentos próprios de cada pessoa, esta pesquisa confirmou proposições de autores clássicos da psicanálise, bem como resultados de estudos mais atuais. A pesquisa trouxe, ainda, considerações que favoreceram a compreensão da dinâmica e da estrutura de personalidade de cada uma dessas pessoas, evidenciando- se a necessidade de serem acolhidas, compreendidas e tratadas, em função do intenso sofrimento e da extrema dificuldade que vivem
The contemporary clinic is challenged to respond to emotional conditions marked by loneliness states, helplessness, disorganization and weakening of otherness experience, which can be expressed in so-called borderline patients. These psychopathological states, described in psychoanalytic literature since the 1930s, there is a central component that stands out and that inspired this research. It is the anguish of loss of the object and desperate search for another in the hope of placating seriously destabilizing states. We present theoretical placements on these patients from important authors of psychoanalysis, as well as inserting a research literature review conducted in the last ten years of addiction and borderline patients in different databases. From this in-depth theoretical study, this research was conducted in order to reflect on the type of relationship established by the border patients, aiming further broaden the understanding of the drama contained in this suffering. The research is characterized as qualitative psychoanalytic research, developed a study of three clinical cases, a woman of 41, a adolecent of 14 and a man of 32. All were treated in individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy context, as well as all stages of search occurred supported by the psychoanalytic method from the generation, recording and processing of the material presented in the form of narratives. Showed the predominance of addictive relationships as a prominent mark of the dynamics of the three cases studied, which is strongly expressed in the therapeutic relationship, and as noted by the report, other links in their lives. Considering the history and own developments of each person, this research confirmed placements of classical authors of psychoanalysis, as well as the most recent research results. The research has also considerations that favored the understanding of the dynamics and personality structure of each of these people, demonstrating the need to be accepted, understood and treated, due to the intense suffering and extreme difficulty living

Abstract:

Depression är vanligt hos personer med Borderline personlighetsstörning (BPS). Det finns risk för att komorbid depression försämrar behandlingsutfall och minskar sannolikhet för remission från BPS, en problematik förknippad med signifikant funktionsned-sättning. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur patienter med BPS och samtidig depression, svarade på beteendeaktivering inriktad på att konkurrera ut ohälsosamma beteenden med hälsosamma. I single-case design om fyra patienter, registrerades aktivitetsnivå dagligen samt upprepade mätningar med validerade skattningsskalor under baslinje och aktiv intervention. Resultatet visade att patienterna hade stora svårigheter med registrering och närvaro, och att även om hälsosamma beteenden ökade i vissa fall så påverkades inte grad av depression.

Abstract:
This paper reviews the theoretical, conceptual and empirical literature relating to emotional regulation in borderline personality disorder. A number of issues relating to the disorder are discussed, including problems with the categorical system of diagnosis and potential co-morbidity. The prominent models of treatment are reviewed along with the evidence for their effectiveness. The concept of a core dysregulation of emotion in the disorder is considered and the psychological models of emotion explored. A systematic review is then described that identified twenty-one experimental studies that investigated aspects of emotional dysregulation in the disorder. The results of this review are categorised into subgroups on the basis of the experimental methods used, and discussed within this context. The results provide limited support for the concept of emotional sensitivity, with empirical evidence for increased attention to emotional stimuli but no evidence of a lower threshold of emotional response. Increased emotional intensity has been demonstrated with self-report and time-sampling data, however results from physiological measures are inconsistent. The limitations of the current literature are discussed, and the implications for future research and clinical practice are considered.

The patient with borderline personality disorder is considered exemplary of contemporary psychoanalysis. The lack of research about the causes of this pathology and the treatment for patients, affects the scientific development of this condition. This research identifies the groundwork of Andr? Green's thesis, which determines that Winnicott s theory formed the basis to understand patients with borderline personality. However, Winnicott s theory is dispersed and presented in an ambiguous manner. This thesis aims to understand what Winnicott s core research was in relation to the development of borderline personality disorder. Also, it will identify where this pathology is situated in the diagnostic spectrum for patient with this disorder. The conclusion is that borderline personality disorder has a place within the category of psychosis, distinct from schizophrenia but encompasses all kind of false self and schizoid pathologies.

Abstract:
Despite evidence showing that emotion dysregulation is a key feature of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), it remains unclear how the process of emotion regulation is disrupted in this population. This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by exploring how emotion regulation is conducted by individuals with high levels of Borderline Personality Features (BPF), in an attempt to clarify the features of emotion regulation that may be problematic for these individuals. This was achieved using a multi-methodological approach with student samples to investigate several aspects of emotion regulation that have been identified in the literature as being important for emotion regulation success in relation to BPF. Study 1 investigated the overall experiences of emotion regulation and the types of emotion regulation strategies used by individuals with high levels of BPF using semi-structured interviews. Study 2a built on findings of Study 1 by quantifying the type and number of strategies used for positive and negative emotion regulation attempts using self-report questionnaires. Study 2b investigated the intensity of emotions when regulated and the duration of emotion regulation attempts using Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM).The final study, Study 2c, investigated implicit valuing of emotion regulation and emotion utility using two computer-based implicit tasks. Findings from studies 1 and 2a demonstrated that although individuals with high-levels of BPF demonstrate knowledge of a range of strategies, they appear to select and implement more unhelpful strategies and less helpful strategies. Moreover, this was found for the regulation of negative and positive emotion regulation. This finding provides evidence for a sufficient knowledge of emotion regulation strategies in this population, an area currently disputed within the literature. Additionally these findings address important gaps in the literature regarding positive emotion regulation and the use of helpful strategies in this population, areas neglected in past research. Findings from study 2b demonstrated that individuals with high levels of BPF appear to regulate their negative emotions when emotion intensity is higher. Theoretically, this indicates that these individuals attempt to regulate their emotions later in the emotion generation process, when intensity is high. However, BPF did not predict an increase in the duration of negative emotion regulation attempts, despite past research demonstrating that longer periods of emotion regulation may be necessary when emotion intensity is high. Together these findings highlight two potentially problematic areas of emotion regulation for individuals with high levels of BPF; timing and duration of emotion regulation attempts. Past research suggests that this pattern of emotion regulation influence emotion regulation strategy choice and limits emotion regulation success. In addition, it was also found that BPF predicted shorter durations of positive emotion regulation attempts. The investigation of positive emotion regulation has been largely neglected in the field of BPF. Thus this finding makes a unique contribution to the literature by indicating that these individuals may also demonstrate disturbances in positive emotion regulation processes. Findings from the final study, Study 2c, suggest that individuals with high levels of BPF do not differ in their implicit evaluations of emotion expression or emotion control, suggesting that implicit motivation for emotion regulation is not disrupted in this population. However, it was found that these individuals implicitly perceive avoidance emotions, such as worry or nervousness, as unhelpful when faced with a threatening task. This suggests that these individuals may demonstrate deficits in their understanding of emotion utility and ability to use emotions effectively. Overall, the research included in this thesis makes an important theoretical contribution to the literature by identifying specific features within the emotion regulation process that may be problematic for individuals with high levels of BPF. The identification of these features has important implications for non-clinical support services by highlighting specific targets for treatment. These findings may also be useful in informing clinical interventions for emotion dysregulation, subject to replication in clinical populations.

Huang, Yi. "Borderland without Borders: Chinese Diasporic Women Writers in the Americas." Scholarly Repository, 2011. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/559.

Full text
Abstract:
This project seeks to expand Asian American studies and Asian North American studies to the Caribbean/South America by examining works of SKY Lee, Maxine Hong Kingston and Jan Shinebourne. I argue that these writers represent Chinese diasporic experiences by reconstructing Chinese immigration history to the Americas. Although different racial constitutions and different cultural and historical specificities occasion the racializations of the Chinese in these regions, the colonial and neocolonial powers deploy similar mechanism for racializations and cultural politics that favors the dominant. These writers’ evocation of the nomadic female subjectivity that traverses the multiple and shifting borderlands and contact zones in their narratives offers a comparative perspective on the construction of ethnic female identity across the Americas and leads to a critique of the function of (neo)colonial power in identity and social formation in the Americas. Engaging in a hemispheric study of the Chinese immigration to the Americas, this project also contributes to recent scholarship on diasporic studies as it challenges the conventional categorization of global diasporas, specifically Chinese diaspora as diaspora of trade, and destabilizes the homeland/hostland binary with an account of the secondary migrations within the Americas. Drawing on recent scholarship on diasporic, hemispheric and women’s studies, and global Asian immigration, the Introduction outlines the methodology of the project. Chapter one examines Lee’s "Disappearing Moon Café," arguing that in this family saga Lee repoliticizes the marginalization of the Chinese by exploring the relationship between Chinese and American Indians against the broad racial relationships in Canada. Chapter two reexamines autobiography as a genre and contends that Kingston documents anti-Chinese U.S. immigration history in "The Woman Warrior" and "China Men" by narrating her family genealogy, which mirrors the collective history of Chinese immigration to the Americas. Chapter three focuses on Shinebourne’s representations of creolized Chinese experiences in "The Last English Plantation" and "Timepiece" against the background of Afro- and Indo-Guyanese conflicts in colonial Guyana. While Lee and Kingston foster transpacific dialogues, Shinebourne’s works depict the intersecting experiences of Chinese, East Indian and African diasporas. Her works foreground the historical and political connection of Asian indentureship with African slavery as an alternative labor source for the colonial economy in the Caribbean and Latin America and hence make evident the extension of European Atlantic system to the Pacific

Abstract:
The Upper Silurian submarine channel deposits at Leintwardine in the Welsh Borderland provide a unique palaeoenvironmental setting in the fossil record, that of an indigenous biota within shelf-edge channel heads. Along with typical Silurian fossils such as brachiopods and trilobites, the deposits contain an exceptionally preserved fauna including predominantly fully articulated echinoderms and disarticulated to articulated arthropods. The biota is interpreted to comprise indigenous and exotic elements, with variable transportation, both within and between species. The echinoderms are stelleroid-dominated although less abundant crinoids, echinoids and ophiocistioids also occur. The echinoderms occur within discrete horizons, so-called starfish beds, whereas other fossils occur sporadically through the remainder of the channel fill. Oxygen levels within the Church Hill Channel do not appear to have been restricted, and periodically high sedimentation rates, likely to be storm-triggered, are interpreted to be central to the preservation of much of the unusual biota. The stelleroids are diverse, comprising 15 species; asteroids and ophiuroids are represented. One new ophiuroid species is erected, Loriolaster calceatus sp. nov. and the subspecies Urasterella ruthveni var. leintwardinensis Spencer is not maintained. A previously undescribed specimen, likely to be a juvenile, is described as Coccaster? sp. Specimens previously described in the literature as Bdellacoma vermiformis Salter and Palasterina antiqua (Hisinger) are reassigned to Klasmura? sp. and Palasterina sp., respectively. The eurypterids comprise mainly carcinosomatids, with a lesser number of pterygotids. The pronounced serration with a deep notch on the distal podomere of prosomal appendage VI is identified as being diagnostic of Carcinosoma punctatum Salter. Newly collected and previously described material is assigned to Carcinosoma sp. And Carcinosoma? sp. Previously undescribed material is assigned to Erettopterus? sp. A distal portion of a free ramus is reassigned to Pterygotus? sp.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Hosffman Ospino
Roughly one-third of U.S. Catholic parishes serve parishioners of multiple cultural, ethnic, and/or linguistic groups. In these “shared parishes,” the possibility and meaning of community across boundaries is an urgent question. This dissertation examines the role of ritual in the formation of community in diverse parishes. Critiquing prevailing ecclesiological models of unity in diversity that inadequately address structural sins of racism and xenophobia, I argue for an understanding of communion as a task of the local Church, embodied ritually in solidaristic practice. Then, establishing a conversation among ritual studies and U.S. Latinx discourses of border identity, I propose an understanding of the shared parish as a kind of borderland – as a place where a subjunctive communal identity can be negotiated ritually through embodied engagement. Methodologically, the dissertation is grounded in an ethnographic study conducted over five years at St. Mary of the Angels, a small, diverse parish in Boston, MA. Weaving together historical and archival data from parish, neighborhood, and archdiocese; participant-observation of bilingual Holy Week liturgies; and Spanish- and English-language interviews, the case study foregrounds the dissertation's theoretical work by analyzing how parishioners constructed rituals that facilitated the crossing of cultural, racial, and linguistic boundaries

Abstract:
Anti-immigrant rhetoric undermines Latinx parents' epistemic legitimacy as producers of valued parental knowledge, irrespective of immigrant status. Little is known about the epistemic harm to Latina mothers who must negotiate their maternal scripts against the backdrop of a parenting discourse steeped in deficit thinking. This study used testimonio to explore the experiences of Latina mothers of young children living in the borderlands of South Texas via a Chicana/Latina feminist epistemological framework that conceptualizes the self as multiplicitous and responsive to the straddling of multiple cultures, nationalities, races, languages, and physical borders. The research questions guiding the study included: (1) How do Latina borderland mothers experience epistemic harm in the context of mothering knowledge? and (2) What strategies do borderland mothers employ to nurture strength and counter epistemic harm? Two theoretical constructs emerged from data analyses. First, the borderland was a site of recurring credibility battles as well as a site of "in-the-flesh" encounters that deepened human connection. Supporting themes included "Brown-on-Brown conflict vs. like-me counters" and "situating injustice vs. denying injustice." The second theoretical construct asserted that borderland mothers' ways of knowing are polyvocal and reflect a Brown body ethic of care. Its two supporting themes included "co-family as sources of epistemic strength vs. credibility denying authorities" and "powerless childhoods vs. what the Brown body knows."

Abstract:
Pendant longtemps, le trouble de la personnalité borderline (TPB) a été considéré comme particulièrement résistant aux traitements et cantonné à une évolution chronique, mais les données empiriques les plus récentes montrent que la majorité des patients borderline voient leur état s'améliorer avec le temps. Or, les facteurs permettant de prédire le type d'évolution du TPB demeurent insuffisamment explorés. Objectif : Le but de notre étude était de déterminer l'impact des variables suivantes sur le type d'évolution du TPB (rémission ou non) sur 18 mois : âge, troubles comorbides de l'Axe I et de l'Axe II du DSM IV-TR, antécédents personnels (traumatismes), événements de vie durant la période de suivi, dimensions de la personnalité (alexythymie, impulsivité), psychothérapies et traitements médicamenteux. Nous souhaitions également explorer le taux de rémission du TPB en le comparant à celui d'autres troubles de la personnalité (TP). Méthode : Nous avons réalisé auprès de sujets borderline (n=75) et de sujets présentant d'autres TP (n=40) un suivi prospectif sur 18 mois. Tous les sujets ont été évalués à quatre reprises : au moment de recrutement (30), après six mois (M6), après douze mois (M 12) et après dix huit mois (M18), à l'aide d'entretiens structurés et d'auto-questionnaires. Résultats : A 18 mois, 45% des 57 sujets borderline et 40 % des 22 sujets avec d'autres TP ont atteint une rémission. Les facteurs de bon pronostic du TPB sur 18 mois sont une impulsivité et une alexithymie basses, un fonctionnement global peu perturbé et l'âge tardif d'installation des symptômes TPB. Selon nos données cliniques, le rôle des événements de vie et tout particulièrement de la qualité des relations interpersonnelles semble être déterminant dans l'évolution du TPB. Nos résultats nous permettent d'envisager des prises en charges plus spécifiques
For quite a long time, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has been viewed as a chronic disorder and borderline patients as extremely difficult to treat. However, those views are changing and there is an increasing recognition that the BPD has a far more benign course than previously thought, but predictors of its outcome remain poorly explored. Obejctive : The purpose of this study was to determine the most clinically relevant predictors of outcome of BPD at the 18-month follow-up. Method : Borderline patients (n=75) were compared to patients with other personality disorders (n= 40). All subjects were assessed at baseline and 6, 12, and 18 months with a series of semi structured interviews and self-report measures. Logistic regression was used to estimate hazard ratios. Results : At the 18-month follow up, 45% of the 57 borderline subjects and 50% of the 22 subjects with other personality disorders achieved remission. Low impulsivity, low alexithymia, good global functioning, and older age at onset of symptoms were found to be significant predictors of a good outcome of BPD. Our clinical data suggest that life events and the quality of current relationships are determinant in the outcome of BPD. Our results could lead to specific psychotherapeutic interventions

Abstract:
The Chicana/o borderlands have generated their own barroquismo which, having thrived on the fruits of a colonial Mexican heritage, intensified within the unique cultural climate of the Southwest US. As second-class citizens, Mexican-Americans have been excluded from the metanarratives of the nation. However, this position as outsiders has granted them a unique vantage point from which to see a multifaceted and contradictory reality. Living in the socio-cultural margins, a certain way of thinking emerged which allowed for contradictions, ambiguity, and plurality: essentially, a baroque way of thinking. This particular consciousness combined with a colonial baroque cultural foundation produced rasquachismo, a sensibility which mirrors the baroque in many ways. Operating on a constant interrelating of the baroque with Chicana/o thought and aesthetics, this dissertation will create points of suture so that the two may inform and enrich each other. All the works treated in this dissertation participate thoroughly in rasquache baroque sensibilities, citing baroque history and summoning the ghosts of the colonial past while generating inclusive structures, impure hybridities and juxtapositions, flamboyance, excess, bold transformations, and critical humour for the purpose of negotiating an adverse and complex reality and for culturally arming oneself against hegemony, in an attempt to ensure cultural survival and resistance. The first chapter, "Ana Castillo's Xicanista Baroque: Allegory, Hagiography, and the Supernatural in So Far from God," explores how this novel continues the colonial baroque traditions of allegory, hagiography, and miracles. The second chapter, "Robo-baroque: The Performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his Pocha Nostra," investigates the colonial baroque legacy which saturates the performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his performance group, La Pocha Nostra. This legacy is demonstrated by a layering of baroque conventions—allegory, hagiography, and the wünderkammer—, as well as by an intensely baroque spatial and temporal ordering which harnesses the powers of decentralization, pluralism, coextensive space, and seriality. The third chapter, "Amalia Mesa-Bains's Domesticana Baroque," looks at the installation works of Amalia Mesa-Bains, investigating how these installations use the conventions of the wünderkammer and vanitas along with the concepts of the mirror and the fold to speak of baroque knowledge systems, female and non-Western identities, and feminine interior spaces. Finally, the conclusion relates the works studied in this thesis and elaborates on the benefits of Chicana/o baroque thought.
Les frontières chicanas ont généré leurs propres barroquismos qui, ayant fait pousser les fruits de l'héritage colonial mexicain, se sont intensifiés dans le climat culturel unique du sud-ouest des États-Unis. En tant que citoyens de seconde classe, les Mexico-Américains ont été exclus des méta-récits de la nation. Cependant, cette position extérieure leur a accordé un point de vue unique, d'où l'on pouvait percevoir une réalité multiforme et contradictoire. De l'habitation des marges socio-culturelles, une certaine façon de penser a émergé, permettant la coexistence de contradictions, l'ambiguïté et la pluralité: une manière de penser essentiellement baroque. Cette thèse se base sur une constante interrelation du baroque avec la pensée et l'esthétique chicanas, créant des points de suture entre ces derniers de manière à ce qu'ils puissent s'éclairer et s'enrichir mutuellement.Toutes les œuvres traitées dans cette thèse participent profondément aux sensibilités baroque-rasquaches, en citant l'histoire baroque et en évoquant les fantômes du passé colonial tout en générant des structures inclusives, des hybridités impures et des juxtapositions, de la flamboyance, de l'excès, des transformations audacieuses, et un humour critique afin de négocier les termes d'une réalité complexe et défavorable et de s'armer culturellement contre l'hégémonie de manière à assurer la survie culturelle et la résistance.Le premier chapitre, "Ana Castillo's Xicanista Baroque: Allegory, Hagiography, and the Supernatural in So Far from God," explore la manière dont ce roman poursuit les traditions baroques coloniales de l'allégorie, de l'hagiographie, et des miracles. Le deuxième chapitre, "Robo-baroque: The Performances of Guillermo Gómez-Peña and his Pocha Nostra," examine les legs colonial-baroques qui saturent les performances de Guillermo Gómez-Peña et de son groupe de performance, La Pocha Nostra. Ce legs se traduit par une superposition de conventions baroques —l'allégorie, l'hagiographie, et le wünderkammer— ainsi que par une organisation spatiale et temporelle intensément baroque, qui exploite les pouvoirs de la décentralisation, du pluralisme, de l'espace coextensif et de la sérialité. Le troisième chapitre, "Amalia Mesa-Bains's Domesticana Baroque," se penche sur les œuvres d'installation d'Amalia Mesa-Bains, enquêtant sur la manière dont ces installations utilisent des conventions du wünderkammer et du vanitas, à travers les concepts du miroir et du pli, afin de parler des systèmes de connaissances baroques, des identités féminines non-occidentales et des espaces intérieurs féminins. Finalement, la conclusion relie les œuvres étudiées dans la thèse et explique les avantages de la pensée chicana-baroque.

Abstract:

Borderline personlighetsstörning (BPS) är en psykiatrisk diagnos som kännetecknas av emotionell instabilitet och problem med relationer. Både anhöriga och vårdpersonal uttrycker svårigheter i kontakten med en person som har BPS. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att sammanställa och belysa forskning och självbiografier som beskriver hur personer med BPS upplever sin livsvärld. För denna studie användes en kombination av två metoder, en litteraturstudie av empiriska studier och analys av självbiografier. Fyra teman utgör resultatet: hur de upplever affekter, att leva med känslomässig smärta. Deras syn på relationer, hur de upplever diagnosen som användbar eller inte och hur de upplever vårdkontakt. Resultatet kan tillämpas i klinisk praxis. Genom att se självskadebeteende som en copingstrategi för emotionell smärta kan relationen mellan sjuksköterska och patient underlättas. Att möta patienten med respekt, förståelse och en bekräftande attityd är eftersträvansvärt, likaså att hjälpa patienten att hitta bättre strategier för att hantera emotionell smärta.


Borderline personality disorder (BPS) is a psychiatric diagnosis which is characterized by emotional instability and relation problems. Both family members and health care personnel express difficulties in contact with persons with BPS. The purpose of this literature review is to compile and highlight research and autobiographies that describe how people with BPS perceive their life world. For this study a combination of two methods was used, a literature review of empirical studies and analysis of autobiographies. Four themes shows in the result: how they experience their affects, to live with emotional pain. Their view of relationships, how they experience the diagnosis as helpful or not and their contact with healthcare. The results can be applied to clinical practice by viewing deliberate self harm as a coping strategy for emotional pain and by meeting the patient with respect, understandning and a confirming attitude. Helping the person to find better strategies to handle emotional pain is also a way to apply the results of this study on clinical practice.

Abstract:
Twenty-one individuals diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder were studied to determine Jungian psychological type. All respondents were recruited through therapists working in the Tucson, Arizona area. Therapists were employed in both private and public mental health care sectors. The respondents were largely female (N = 19) white, and non-married. Due to the large percentage of females, only the female portion of the sample was used for comparison with other, all female populations. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, Form F was used to determine psychological type. Respondents showed a higher incidence of introverted and intuitive types when compared to groups representing the general population. Compared to groups representing inpatient psychiatric populations, the study sample showed a larger incidence of intuitive types.

Abstract:
Background: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by emotional and behavioural instability, and impaired ability to maintain relationships. Previous research has demonstrated an association between BPD and insecure attachment style. It has been argued that BPD is a disorder of attachment, with insecure attachment being associated with inadequate capacity to represent mental states, or to “mentalize”. There is evidence that people with BPD are impaired in their capacity to mentalize in the context of attachment relationships. The term “mentalization” encompasses a broad range of processes including metacognition. There is a theoretical basis for metacognitive deficits in BPD. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding the role of metacognition in BPD and its relationship to adult attachment style. Method: Participants with BPD were recruited from Community Mental Health Teams, Clinical Psychology and a Dialectal Behaviour Therapy (DBT) service within NHS Highland. A comparison group of participants without BPD were recruited from the Clinical Psychology service, having been referred for symptoms of depression. Both groups were administered the Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ)(a self-report measure of attachment); and a short version of the Metacognitions Questionnaire (MCQ-30). Severity of clinical symptoms and current mood was assessed using the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (CORE) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Results: Participants with BPD scored significantly higher than those without BPD on the attachment-anxiety and attachment-avoidance dimensions of the RSQ. The BPD group also endorsed MCQ-30 items more than the comparison group. There was a significant difference between the groups on the MCQ-30 total score and four of the five subscale scores. There were significant positive correlations between attachment dimension scores and metacognition subscales. The strongest associations were between attachmentanxiety and “uncontrollability and danger” and “need to control thoughts” subscales of the MCQ-30. Only metacognition was predictive of current mood and distress levels. Conclusions: The results of this study show that people with BPD report high attachment-avoidance and attachment-anxiety in their relationships, relative to a non-BPD, depressed comparison group. These findings are consistent with the existing literature regarding the profile of attachment in BPD. This study also found that people with BPD also have more maladaptive metacognitions than people with symptoms of depression. An association between self-reported adult attachment style and maladaptive metacognitiion was demonstrated in the present study. Maladaptive metacognitive strategies and beliefs potentially contribute to maintenance of depressed and anxious mood, as well as broader symptoms of distress.
