Wallerich, François. "« Ad corroborandam fidem » : miracles eucharistiques, discours clérical et ordre social (XIe-XIIIe siècle)." Thesis, Paris 10, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA100101.
Full textAbstract:
Les miracles attribués à la virtus des espèces eucharistiques font l'objet de l'étude. Ils sont envisagés à partir du milieu du XIe siècle, moment où, dans le contexte de la réforme « grégorienne » et de la querelle bérengarienne, la présence substantielle est exprimée en des termes d'un réalisme sans précédent. Il s'agit de comprendre comment la production de récits miraculeux, qui prend alors son essor, construit un discours dont l'objet est non seulement de défendre le dogme nouvellement formulé, mais aussi une vision cléricale de l'ensemble de la société. L'exploration de cette problématique se fait par un parcours chronologique organisé en trois grands temps. Les récits de miracles articulent d'abord l'affirmation du réalisme eucharistique à l'exaltation du sacerdoce (années 1050-1170). Un tournant majeur est opéré entre les années 1170 et 1230. Alors que la documentation est plus prolixe et change de nature (naissance des recueils d'exempla), les récits, qui subissent très fortement l'influence cistercienne, doivent être replacés dans les enjeux du « tournant pastoral » qui s'opère sur fond de flambée des hérésies. Les deux derniers tiers du XIIIe siècle permettent d'envisager la place des miracles dans une prédication aux laïcs qui insiste, par leur biais, sur les manifestations publiques de la dévotion eucharistique comme marqueurs de l'identité chrétienne. La diffusion de la Fête-Dieu à l'ensemble de la Chrétienté, actée par l'insertion de la bulle Transiturus dans les Clémentines par Jean XXII (1317), constitue le terme de l'étudeThe study focuses on miracles attributed to the eucharistic species. In the middle of the 11th century, the substantial presence of Christ in the eucharist is conceived in a realistic way, in the context of the Gregorian reform and the controversy raised by Berangar's theology. Miraculous tales produced at the time can be seen not only as a way to illustrate the eucharistic dogma, but also to express a clercical pattern for the whole society. The study follows the chronological order. At first, the narratives associate eucharistic realism with the enhancement of priesthood (1050-1170). Then, a major turn can be stressed between 1170 and 1230. At that time, especially in the Cistercian order, exempla are compiled in a new kind of collections. Miracles take place in the context of « pastoral turn » and the growth of the heresies, which they try to fight. In the two last thirds of the 13th century, the documentation allows us to analyze the place of these miracles in the preaching of the mendicant friars. These use miraculous tales in order to stress upon public manifestations of eucharistic piety as a way for the laity to express its Christian identity. The study ends with the progressive spreading of the new feast dedicated to the corpus Christi to the whole Christianity, which makes a decisive step in 1317, when pope John XXII includes the bull Transiturus in the Clementines

Jenkins, John Christopher. "Torre Abbey : locality, community, and society in medieval Devon." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2010. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:5605a4ce-68ba-4b66-919d-2fd60ae5f92f.
Full textAbstract:
Torre Abbey was a rural Premonstratensian monastery in south-east Devon. Although in many ways atypical of its order, not least in the quality and quantity of its surviving source material, Torre provides an excellent case study of how a medium-sized medieval monastery interacted with the world around it, and how the abbey itself was affected by that interaction. Divided into three broad sections, this thesis first examines the role of local landowners and others as patrons of the house in the most obvious sense, that of the bestowal of lands or other assets upon the house. Torre was relatively successful in this regard, and an examination of the architectural and archaeological record indicates a continuation of that relationship after the thirteenth century. The second section notes areas of conflict with the laity. Disputes could and did arise over both temporal and spiritual affairs, as well as through the involvement of a number of lay figures in the administration and patronage of the house. In both respects, notable incidents in the mid-fourteenth century highlight the complexities of the canons’ relationships with the secular world. These are further explored in an analysis of the abbey’s role during the Hundred Years’ War and the Wars of the Roses, two conflicts which greatly affected the locality, but required vastly differing approaches by the canons. Finally, the effect of society on the canons themselves is considered. It is possible to recover some picture of their origins, both social and geographic, as well as some idea of the size of the community in the fifteenth century, and discuss the repercussions for an understanding of monastic recruitment. Finally, the dynamic of the community over the entire history of the abbey is considered in terms of the scattered source material, utilising both architectural and documentary evidence.

The objective of this thesis is to recognize and analyze the reasons behind the relationship of priority of Politics over Economy, and the possible consequences of the alteration of this primacy. Firstly, the relationship between Politics and Economics is analyzed in the framework of the three lines of thought which are considered fundamental by their historical character: the classical, liberal and Marxist thoughts. The principles behind the Social Doctrine of the Church are then explored: in particular, the dignity of the person, the common good, subsidiarity and solidarity. Finally, we study the case of Argentina in the 1990s, a situation characterized by the guidelines of the Washington Consensus, to show the localized consequences of globalization both socially and individually. It was necessary to characterize the context in terms of a process that goes from colonialism to globalization. As a result of the analysis, we concluded that there is a necessity for a redefinition of politics based on the principles of the Social Doctrine of the Church, according to which Politics justifies its existence from the Ethical and moral purpose that is evident in its orientation to the achievement of the common good.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the development of a second-order false belief task is investigated by considering the impact of the acquisition of Turkish evidential markers, namely &ndashDI (direct evidence) and &ndash
mIs (inference or hearsay). A neutral version of the tasks served as a control form. 21 kindergarten children (aged 4-5 years), 47 primary school children (aged 6- 12 years) and 10 adults participated in the study. Our results revealed that there is no effect of acquisition of evidentials on false belief understanding. Together with the other studies, there is a facilitative effect of &ndash
DI (direct evidence) in understanding of stories/narratives in general rather than false belief understanding for the children at the age of 4 to 6/7. In addition to the second-order false belief tasks (FBT_2), a simple working memory task (WST), a complex working memory task (LST), a perspective taking task (PTT) and a double- embedded relative clause task (REL_2) were used in order to investigate the developmental trend of these tasks and their possible relationship with second-order false belief understanding. Also, to the best of our knowledge this is the first time that a REL_2 task has been devised in a Turkish study. The general developmental trend was found for all tasks. Even if some significant correlations were found for FBT_2 score predicted from other tasks, analyses showed that only the contribution of age was significant. Since all of these domains are not related to second-order false belief reasoning but develop at the same time, it is not incompatible with the serial bottleneck hypothesis. In sum, the findings are matching with the modularity view that ToM is a faculty of the human mind at their own pace that does not share intrinsic content with other faculties such as language and working memory (Leslie et al., 2004). However, it develops together with those other faculties and they may constrain the expression of child

Full textAbstract:
Several theoretical perspectives have emerged in the social sciences to explain variations in social order. In the normative perspective, order is a function of value consensus and the successful internalization of these values. Order in the Hobbesian perspective is a consequence of coercive state social control. However, the former cannot account for high levels of order in heterogeneous societies lacking value consensus, while the latter cannot explain order in large and complex societies where effective monitoring and sanctioning by the state is impossible. More recently, social scientists have shown that stable cooperation among the members of a group is possible on the basis of mechanisms derived from the theory of repeated games. While promising, these theories have not specified how these group-level cooperative institutions can be reproduced at the societal level to produce global order. Nor have they identified the mechanism by which members' compliance with (possibly conflicting) group norms can aggregate to global order. An alternative, solidaristic theory holds that global order is a largely unintended byproduct of the control activities of constituent social groups seeking members' compliance to group norms. It explains global order as a function of the solidarities of groups and the costliness of their members' activities to the state and other groups. Further, the theory specifies the aggregation mechanism by which the meso-level solidarities of various groups produce global order. The theory also implies that the state originally emerges as a means to reduce negative externalities on some groups by the activities of others. I design three separate laboratory experiments to test the solidaristic theory of global order. The first experiment tests the theory's group solidarity submodel. The second and third experiments test a theory of the state which directly underlies the state submodel of the solidaristic theory. The second experiment tests how the state's behavior toward groups varies as a function of their threat to the state. The third experiment tests the state's behavior as a function of the groups' negative externalities on each other and their power over the state. I present the results from the third experiment.

Hollin, Gregory J. S. "Social order and disorder in autism." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2013. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/13787/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates autism as it has been understood in the cognitive and social (neuro)sciences, within the United Kingdom, since 1985. Of specific interest is how these sciences discover, construct, and experiment upon individuals who are understood as socially abnormal. Theoretically, the thesis is positioned between Foucauldian History and Philosophy of Science, Medical Sociology, and Science and Technology Studies. Empirically, two key sources of information are relied upon. Firstly, there is an extensive critical reading of the published literature from 1985 to the present. Secondly, twenty qualitative research interviews were conducted with academic researchers, based within the UK, and with core interests in psychology in general and autism in particular. It is firstly argued that the cognitive sciences rely upon a particular, historically novel, construction of the social in order to articulate autism as social disorder. It is then argued that, although autism is frequently reported as heterogeneous and illusory within the laboratory, social disorder appears self-evident when the autistic individual is required to interact with both the researcher and broader society. Following these findings it is argued that the researcher does not observe autism but, rather, that they achieve it. Finally it is argued that the language of autism is itself capable of ushering in novel conceptualisations of social conduct that may apply to all individuals and not just those diagnosed with the condition. Following these empirical findings it is argued that autism is best understood as the consequence of particular socio-historical conditions. It is asked if these socio-historical conditions may include a novel knowledge-power nexus arising in the mid-twentieth century, named here a socio-emotive politics, of which autism is just one consequence.

Clayton, Kelvin. "Social Chaosmos : Michel Serres and the emergence of social order." Thesis, Staffordshire University, 2011. http://eprints.staffs.ac.uk/1922/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a social ontology. It takes its problem, the emergence of social structure and order, and the relationship of the macro and the micro within this structure, from social theory, but attempts a resolution from the perspectives of contemporary French philosophy and complexity theory. Due to its acceptance of certain presuppositions concerning the multiplicity and connectedness of all life and nature it adopts a comparative methodology that attempts a translation of complexity science to the social world. It draws both this methodology and its inspiration from the work of Michel Serres. After explaining this methodology, it presents a critique of the work of those prominent philosophers of multiplicity who have written on the social: Alain Badiou, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and Manual DeLanda. Having argued for the need of a ‘non-unit’ of social organisation, it then unsuccessfully surveys the work of Michel Foucault and Gabriel Tarde in search of such a ‘non-unit’. It produces one by extracting elements from different theorists and then proceeds to offer a novel explanation of how these expectations first emerge from the ‘social noise’ and then go through a complex process of self-organisation to produce social structure. Apart from complexity theory, this explanation draws on the temporal ontologies of both Serres and Deleuze. In doing so, it argues that the social replication necessary for this self-organisation cannot be achieved through direct imitation. Instead, it draws on an idea from Stuart Kauffman and argues that this is achieved through autocatalysis. Finally, it argues that social structures and what is perceived to be social order are the effect of the codification, to varying degrees, of these emergent expectations. It concludes that this structure is at its most creative when on ‘the edge of chaos’, when at a point of social chaosmos.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the everyday practices of young children acting in their social worlds within the context of the school playground. It employs an ethnographic ethnomethodological approach using conversation analysis. In the context of child participation rights advanced by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and childhood studies, the study considers children’s social worlds and their participation agendas. The participants of the study were a group of young children in a preparatory year setting in a Queensland school. These children, aged 4 to 6 years, were videorecorded as they participated in their day-to-day activities in the classroom and in the playground. Data collection took place over a period of three months, with a total of 26 hours of video data. Episodes of the video-recordings were shown to small groups of children and to the teacher to stimulate conversations about what they saw on the video. The conversations were audio-recorded. This method acknowledged the child’s standpoint and positioned children as active participants in accounting for their relationships with others. These accounts are discussed as interactionally built comments on past joint experiences and provided a starting place for analysis of the video-recorded interaction. Four data chapters are presented in this thesis. Each data chapter investigates a different topic of interaction. The topics include how children use “telling” as a tactical tool in the management of interactional trouble, how children use their “ideas” as possessables to gain ownership of a game and the interactional matters that follow, how children account for interactional matters and bid for ownership of “whose idea” for the game and finally, how a small group of girls orientated to a particular code of conduct when accounting for their actions in a pretend game of “school”. Four key themes emerged from the analysis. The first theme addresses two arenas of action operating in the social world of children, pretend and real: the “pretend”, as a player in a pretend game, and the “real”, as a classroom member. These two arenas are intertwined. Through inferences to explicit and implicit “codes of conduct”, moral obligations are invoked as children attempt to socially exclude one another, build alliances and enforce their own social positions. The second theme is the notion of shared history. This theme addresses the history that the children reconstructed, and acts as a thread that weaves through their interactions, with implications for present and future relationships. The third theme is around ownership. In a shared context, such as the playground, ownership is a highly contested issue. Children draw on resources such as rules, their ideas as possessables, and codes of behaviour as devices to construct particular social and moral orders around owners of the game. These themes have consequences for children’s participation in a social group. The fourth theme, methodological in nature, shows how the researcher was viewed as an outsider and novice and was used as a resource by the children. This theme is used to inform adult-child relationships. The study was situated within an interest in participation rights for children and perspectives of children as competent beings. Asking children to account for their participation in playground activities situates children as analysers of their own social worlds and offers adults further information for understanding how children themselves construct their social interactions. While reporting on the experiences of one group of children, this study opens up theoretical questions about children’s social orders and these influences on their everyday practices. This thesis uncovers how children both participate in, and shape, their everyday social worlds through talk and interaction. It investigates the consequences that taken-for-granted activities of “playing the game” have for their social participation in the wider culture of the classroom. Consideration of this significance may assist adults to better understand and appreciate the social worlds of young children in the school playground.

Full textAbstract:
The two criminological theories that conflict most sharply in terms of their fundamental assumptions about human nature and social order are control theory and cultural deviance theory. This research tests two major hypotheses derived from these theories. The first is that norms regulating the use of "force and fraud" are universal, and the second is that deviant behavior is caused by parents' failure to adequately socialize their children. The first hypothesis is tested through an analysis of the sanctioning practices of 100 cultures, drawn from the Human Relations Area Files. The results indicate that norms regulating the use of force and fraud are universal, and that the circumstances under which such acts are not sanctioned are quite limited. Apparent exceptions occur mainly when the consequences of the acts for social order are less severe or nonexistent. These findings indicate that certain norms are universal, and this fact can provide insight into human nature. If all societies prohibit some of the same acts, then these acts must present a threat in all societies, and members of all societies must perceive them as such. This indicates that people naturally tend to engage in criminal acts, since it is implausible that all societies would teach people to engage in behavior that they then punish. In order to identify the causes of the failure to learn cultural norms, micro-level data from the National Survey of Children are analyzed. According to Gottfredson and Hirschi (1990), delinquency is most likely to occur among children whose parents do not adequately care for them. The results show that parents with lower self-control are less attached to their children, they do not adequately supervise their children, and they are more likely to use punitive forms of punishment. In turn, their children are less attached to them, they are less likely to report feeling guilty after deviation, and they are more likely to engage in a wide range of deviant acts. In sum, the evidence shows that children's deviance is the result of inadequate child-rearing practices.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses a study of the police in Jordan and their management of common grievances to demonstrate that the police, even in an illiberal setting, can be central to the process of constructing hegemonic consent. Most existing political science critiques of police forces in the Middle East focus on their coercive and disciplinary powers, emphasizing their role in repressing and observing the citizenry of states perceived to lack legitimacy, or on their corruption and usurpation of judicial powers, perceived as a result of inadequate civil oversight. While this can be justified by regional trends of authoritarianism, it presents a distorted picture of state control. It also fails to address the importance of ‘low-policing’, where the police rely on alternative strategies of power to promote and realise social order, particularly in policing disputes between citizens. While dispute management in non-Western societies has long been of interest to legal anthropologists – largely due to the importance of societal actors in the process - it has been largely overlooked in contemporary police studies. Unlike orthodox criminological appraisals of crime control that render unproblematic the nature of state power, I contend that the manner in which offences are handled by the police is deeply political, defining the state’s character and moreover the social order within it. In this context, Gramscian hegemony – interpreted as a process - is a productive way of understanding how social order is produced. I bring my theory to life in Jordan, a tribal society whose police force balances its longstanding delegation of dispute-resolution to societal actors, with more recent requirements to intervene more intensively into citizen’s lives. By analysing the seemingly mundane practices involved in the management of common offences, I offer insights into how Jordan’s complex social order is constructed.

Thesis (MTh)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: What are the predominant characteristics of the Refugee churches established in Europe in the mid‐sixteenth century? They are, undoubtedly, those of disputation and argument, dissension and fraction. But there are exceptions, the most notable of which is the English church in Geneva, which was formed in the autumn of 1555 and whose life officially ended when the last English exiles left Geneva in the spring of 1560. The origins of the church lay in the conflicts that had arisen over liturgy in the English church at Frankfurt and these conflicts continued later in Elizabethan England when the Marian exiles, many of them from Geneva, endeavoured to impose their vision of a truly Reformed church on the church of their homeland. For a short period – between the time spent at Frankfurt and the return to England – the English exiles in Geneva were a peaceable community at home with their maker and each other and created there a church that was broad rather than narrow in sympathy. The absence of conflict appears to have enlarged understanding and tolerance of others rather than narrowed it. This had much to do with the liturgy of the church which was one centered on prayer. It was also a liturgy that emphasized practicality, participation and community. The order of the church reflected its liturgy with, in a limited sense, a democratic rather than an authoritarian flavour. The failure of the Marian exiles to impose their view of a truly reformed church on the Elizabethan Church of England reminds us of the alternative approach to ecclesiological arrangements adopted in the Netherlands. While the Dutch Reformed church became the officially established public church of the Netherlands, it was nevertheless accepted, from inception, that only a minority of the population would become communicating members, a situation which has more flavour of the twentieth century than the sixteenth. But the ecclesiological arrangements in the Netherlands were unique and it is sad to record that the effect of the refugee churches was to harden confessional differences between Protestants of the Reformed and Lutheran traditions, making unity between them increasingly unlikely.

This tension is fuelled in my belief by the fact that the Christian believe system seems comfortable only when it has a monopoly over what is perceived to be truth or knowledge. It is argued in this research project that this hunger for monopoly over the truth can also be detected in western epistemologies. The current context is one which asks that we acknowledge that the Christian faith is flourishing in the global South. This therefore has significant challenges for a faith that wants to consistently insist in her own determination without learning from those wells of knowledge on the continent. The question of Africanization therefore abounds. It is in the light of this that this research explores the question of church polity within the URCSA and checks if it does in fact respond to the issue of Africanization. Church polity is a sub subject within the ambit of ecclesiology. In other words, it relates to those issues that gives meaning to the management and administration of a particular church. The church order is been investigated and it is concluded that this, while being a local element, speaks to the broader aspect of Christianity not been conducive to learn from Africa.
The subject of African marriages is lifted up as a catalyst for Africanization in the local church. African marriage is an important element in the life of the African Christian. I believe that it is for this very reason that some mention of it is made although in passing and not informed by a genuine concern to learn from the African. A number of misconceptions are pointed out in the understanding of African marriages. With regard to the positives, issues of lobola are brought to the fore to thwart the misconceptions. It is found that there is nothing that positively help a conversation on African marriages in the church order. Since the URCSA is an offspring of the DRCA, it is found that nothing substantially has changed with regard to the perception of African marriages. In fact what the Christian attitude did was to create a buffer between itself and these African knowledge systems. In the end the monopoly over the truth by the west is chastised and reference is made to African proverbs and myths which are aimed ad ameliorating truth within the African context. Contrary to the west and her faith where truth is dogma, we realize that within the African context and space, truth is arrived at in the meeting of different worlds as poignantly articulated by some African proverbs. This research ends on a sad note that laments the lost opportunities between Africa and the world. It also realizes that these lost opportunities are intentionally being ignored by those who claim to have a monopoly on the truth. Having said all of these, this research realizes that the question of Africanization cannot and must not be left to those who continue to engage this subject from a point of view of having a monopoly over truthDissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2014.

Full textAbstract:
Although internet chat is a significant aspect of many internet users’ lives, the manner in which participants in quasi-synchronous chat situations orient to issues of social and moral order remains to be studied in depth. The research presented here is therefore at the forefront of a continually developing area of study. This work contributes new insights into how members construct and make accountable the social and moral orders of an adult-oriented Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel by addressing three questions: (1) What conversational resources do participants use in addressing matters of social and moral order? (2) How are these conversational resources deployed within IRC interaction? and (3) What interactional work is locally accomplished through use of these resources?
A survey of the literature reveals considerable research in the field of computer-mediated communication, exploring both asynchronous and quasi-synchronous discussion forums. The research discussed represents a range of communication interests including group and collaborative interaction, the linguistic construction of social identity, and the linguistic features of online interaction. It is suggested that the present research differs from previous studies in three ways: (1) it focuses on the interaction itself, rather than the ways in which the medium affects the interaction; (2) it offers turn-by-turn analysis of interaction in situ; and (3) it discusses membership categories only insofar as they are shown to be relevant by participants through their talk. Through consideration of the literature, the present study is firmly situated within the broader computer-mediated communication field.
Ethnomethodology, conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis were adopted as appropriate methodological approaches to explore the research focus on interaction in situ, and in particular to investigate the ways in which participants negotiate and co-construct social and moral orders in the course of their interaction.
IRC logs collected from one chat room were analysed using a two-pass method, based on a modification of the approaches proposed by Pomerantz and Fehr (1997) and ten Have (1999). From this detailed examination of the data corpus three interaction topics are identified by means of which participants clearly orient to issues of social and moral order: challenges to rule violations, ‘trolling’ for cybersex, and experiences regarding the 9/11 attacks. Instances of these interactional topics are subjected to fine-grained analysis, to demonstrate the ways in which participants draw upon various interactional resources in their negotiation and construction of channel social and moral orders. While these analytical topics stand alone in individual focus, together they illustrate different instances in which participants’ talk serves to negotiate social and moral orders or collaboratively construct new orders.
Building on the work of Vallis (2001), Chapter 5 illustrates three ways that rule violation is initiated as a channel discussion topic: (1) through a visible violation in open channel, (2) through an official warning or sanction by a channel operator regarding the violation, and (3) through a complaint or announcement of a rule violation by a non-channel operator participant. Once the topic has been initiated, it is shown to become available as a topic for others, including the perceived violator. The fine-grained analysis of challenges to rule violations ultimately demonstrates that channel participants orient to the rules as a resource in developing categorizations of both the rule violation and violator. These categorizations are contextual in that they are locally based and understood within specific contexts and practices. Thus, it is shown that compliance with rules and an orientation to rule violations as inappropriate within the social and moral orders of the channel serves two purposes: (1) to orient the speaker as a group member, and (2) to reinforce the social and moral orders of the group.
Chapter 6 explores a particular type of rule violation, solicitations for ‘cybersex’ known in IRC parlance as ‘trolling’. In responding to trolling violations participants are demonstrated to use affiliative and aggressive humour, in particular irony, sarcasm and insults. These conversational resources perform solidarity building within the group, positioning non-Troll respondents as compliant group members. This solidarity work is shown to have three outcomes: (1) consensus building, (2) collaborative construction of group membership, and (3) the continued construction and negotiation of existing social and moral orders.
Chapter 7, the final data analysis chapter, offers insight into how participants, in discussing the events of 9/11 on the actual day, collaboratively constructed new social and moral orders, while orienting to issues of appropriate and reasonable emotional responses. This analysis demonstrates how participants go about ‘doing being ordinary’ (Sacks, 1992b) in formulating their ‘first thoughts’ (Jefferson, 2004). Through sharing their initial impressions of the event, participants perform support work within the interaction, in essence working to normalize both the event and their initial misinterpretation of it. Normalising as a support work mechanism is also shown in relation to participants constructing the ‘quiet’ following the event as unusual. Normalising is accomplished by reference to the indexical ‘it’ and location formulations, which participants use both to negotiate who can claim to experience the ‘unnatural quiet’ and to identify the extent of the quiet. Through their talk participants upgrade the quiet from something legitimately experienced by one person in a particular place to something that could be experienced ‘anywhere’, moving the phenomenon from local to global provenance.
With its methodological design and detailed analysis and findings, this research contributes to existing knowledge in four ways. First, it shows how rules are used by participants as a resource in negotiating and constructing social and moral orders. Second, it demonstrates that irony, sarcasm and insults are three devices of humour which can be used to perform solidarity work and reinforce existing social and moral orders. Third, it demonstrates how new social and moral orders are collaboratively constructed in relation to extraordinary events, which serve to frame the event and evoke reasonable responses for participants. And last, the detailed analysis and findings further support the use of conversation analysis and membership categorization as valuable methods for approaching quasi-synchronous computer-mediated communication.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the order in which an individual is born and how, when examining birth order, does the psychological make- of the first, middle and last child born influence how the individual will be later in their life. This study was based on two premises: (1) In social work there is not a need to focus on birth order, classifying it solely as a matter of psychology; (2) When a child is born, they are given an order among their siblings that provides them with a set of experiences, roles, and responsibilities that attribute the child in the given birth order. A systematic review was used to analyze data gathered on the contributions of sibling relationships, and the psychological make-up of the first, middle and last born child, and how each can predict the resilience of the individual.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a genealogy of security. The first two chapters situate it in relation to the discipline of International Relations and present the approach to develop the genealogy. It is argued that what has enabled the lack of problematization of the concept of security within the discipline is precisely the security project of the discipline itself: the securing of an ontological ground through the deployment of epistemological precepts that pervade the way the discipline is predominantly understood and its evolution is retroactively (re)written. I argue that the discipline itself is enabled by, and is a manifestation of, "sovereign thought"---i.e. a form of knowledge inextricably related to the articulation of the sovereign State as the predominant form of social order in modernity. What is revealed is how the structure of sovereign thought occults its generative principles and enables a framing of issues and problems via objective knowledge while simultaneously masking its role as a frame. It is this deployment of knowledge that enables the naturalization of "security." These first two chapters provide the groundwork and the rationale for the genealogical investigation found in the second part of the thesis. The three following chapters apply this approach to the relationship between the meaning(s) to security and the production of social order. This genealogy is developed by tracing the intimate complicity between the meaning to security and the articulation of social order via alterity. These chapters are constructed around three interregna : the shift from Roman Republic to Empire and the advent of Christianity; the shift from Christendom to sovereign State in the classical age; and the advent of the modern sovereign State and the present mutations of sovereign order. Through this genealogy it is argued that our present articulation of "security" serves as a mechanism of depoliticization in the service of sovereign order increasingly deployed throughout the social above and below statal space. Finally, I argue that it is within the context of modernity and its intimate relation with the advent of democracy that a new horizon of possibility to articulate a counter-discourse to security is opened up.

Um dos maiores constrangimentos da democracia liberal estadunidense é seu fracasso de gerar qualquer reação política relevante contra o ethos punitivo, aqui chamado law and order, que legitima o encarceramento sem precedentes de seus próprios cidadãos. Com efeito, a população prisional dos Estados Unidos passou de quase 200 mil detentos em 1970 para mais de 2.3 milhões em 2007. De acordo com o Departamento de Justiça (2007), mais de 10 milhões de americanos são enviados para cadeias todos os anos e outros 600 mil acabam indo parar nos presídios onde cumprem em média três anos de reclusão, na maioria das vezes por crimes contra a propriedade ou uso de drogas. Excetuando as crianças e os idosos com mais de 65 anos, um em cada 50 adultos encontra-se atrás das grades nos Estados Unidos. Qual a origem e as causas desse fenômeno? Esta pesquisa documenta a grande mudança no modo pelo qual o problema da criminalidade foi percebido nos círculos oficiais e as conseqüências políticas que tal percepção acarretou. Visa analisar como as questões relacionadas ao crime foram socialmente construídas através de processos políticos, interpretativos e representacionais nos quais as elites políticas e a mídia mobilizaram símbolos e referências culturais poderosas a fim de atrair a atenção da opinião pública para o problema da criminalidade e assim gerar suporte popular para as políticas públicas punitivas. Não obstante a extrema complexidade do discurso político sobre crime, tudo indica que apenas uma abordagem preencheu o vácuo deixado pelo declínio do ideal reabilitador, fenômeno chamado por David Garland (2001a) de “nihilismo terapêutico”: endureça com o crime! Semelhante resposta se baseia em visões contraditórias do comportamento criminoso, as quais, não obstante, concordam que a forma mais apropriada para se tratar da criminalidade seria a expansão do direito penal e o aumento da severidade das punições. Essa retórica punitiva mudou a antiga ênfase na reabilitação e reintegração social dos ofensores para a crença na capacidade da lei penal de estruturar as escolhas e condutas dos indivíduos. A retórica law and order foi mobilizada pela primeira vez no final dos anos de 1950, quando políticos conservadores chamaram a atenção dos eleitores para o problema do “crime de rua”, ridicularizaram a idéia de que o comportamento desviante também tem raízes sócio-econômicas e promoveram uma visão alternativa segunda a qual o crime é conseqüência direta de apetites e impulsos desregrados que impelem os indivíduos em direção às atividades criminosas. Essa tentativa de reconstruir as percepções da opinião pública com relação ao problema da criminalidade fez parte, por sua vez, de um cenário político muito mais abrangente: o esforço conservador para substituir o Estado de bem-estar social pelo Estado de controle social como princípio de governabilidade. Com o Estado sofrendo pressões crescentes dos defensores dos direitos civis, dos programas assistenciais e do movimento estudantil no sentido de assumir mais responsabilidade para reduzir as desigualdades sociais, políticos conservadores articularam programas de governo alternativos que reduziram o welfare state e aumentaram os controles sociais. As hipóteses centrais desta pesquisa são assim resumidas: 1) A questão do crime foi essencial para a construção de uma nova política social. 2) Iniciativa política e mídia, não os índices oficiais de criminalidade, foram os fatores que despertaram a preocupação popular com o crime. 3) A hegemonia de law and order não resultou de um movimento democrático de base, mas foi conseqüência do projeto conservador de reconstrução do Estado.
One of the great embarrassments to the American democracy has been its collective failure to raise any substantial political opposition to the punitive ethos known as law and order that underlies the unprecedented use of imprisonment on its own citizenry. The nation´s prison population grew from less than 200,000 in 1970 to over 2.3 million by 2007. According to the Department of Justice (2007), over 10 million Americans are admitted to jail each year and another 600,000 find their way to prison to spend an average of almost three years largely for property and drug crimes. If children and those over 65 are dropped from the denominator, nearly one in 50 adult Americans is locked up. How dit it all start and what are the reasons for such a phenomenon? This research documents the major shift in the way in which the crime problem was officially perceived and the political positions to which these perceptions gave rise. It aims at analysing how crime-related issues were socially and politically constructed through interpretative, representational, and political processes, in which political elites and the media deployed mediated symbols and mobilized powerful cultural references to call the public opinion´s attention to crime- related problems and defined these problems as the consequence of insufficient punishment and control, and generated popular support for punitive anticrime policies. Despite the complexity of political discourse on crime, it appears that one single view has filled the vacuum created by the demise of the rehabilitative ideal—what David Garland calls “therapeutic nihilism”: get tough on crime. This tough response to the crime problem are predicted upon various and sometimes contradictory explanations of criminal behavior. Despite their differences, these explanations of crime similarly imply that expanding the scope of criminal law and increasing the severity of its penalties are the most appropriate responses to the crime problem. In this get-tough rhetoric, the emphasis has shifted from a concern with rehabilitating and reintegrating offenders to the capacity of the law and the social control system to structure the choices and conduct of individuals. The rhetoric of law and order was first mobilized in the late 1950s, when conservative politicians paid an unprecedented amount of attention to the problem of “street crime”, ridiculed the notion that criminal behavior has socioeconomic causes, and promoted the alternative view that crime is the consequence of insufficient curbs on the appetites and impulses that impel individuals towards criminal activities. This attempt to reconstruct popular perceptions of the crime problem was, in turn, a component of a much larger political contest: the effort to replace social welfare with social control as the principle of state policy. As the civil rights, welfare rights, and the students movements pressured the state to assume greater responsibility for the reduction of social inequalities, conservative politicians attempted to popularize an alternative vision of government, one that diminishes its duty to provide for social welfare but enlarges its capacity and obligation to maintain social control. The central theses of this paper are as follows: 1) The crime issue was a crucial resource for those advocating this reconstruction of social policy. 2) Political initiave and media ressonance, not the official reported incidence of crime, were strongly associated with subsequent public concern about crime. 3) The ascendance of the rhetoric and policies of law and order was not an expression of democracy in action, but rather an ideological framework of the conservative project of state reconstruction.

Magister Artium (Social Work) - MA(SW)The goal of this study was to investigate how single parenting is perceived within the context of the churches in Kuils River and to establish if any support structures are in place to assist single parents. This research was confined to the Kuils River community and was conducted in three churches of different denominations. A qualitative approach in the form of an exploratory study was used to conduct this research. Participants were recruited from the three churches in Kuils River. Purposive sampling allowed the researcher to recruit suitable participants, comprising single mothers and fathers (20 years old and above) who attended church as well as the respective church leaders. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with these single parents and church leaders. Data was manually transcribed and analysed by means of thematic analysis. Ethical approval was sought from the University’s Ethics Committee and permission was granted by the respective church leaders. Participants were informed and assured of confidentiality, anonymity and that their participation in the study was completely voluntary. Informed consent was obtained and participants were informed of their rights to withdraw from the study. The findings indicated that single parents with immediate family obtained support through their informal support networks, while those without immediate family relied on the church for support. The findings also indicated that while the church provided support to a certain extent, the type of support offered did not fulfil the needs of single-parent families, and that the church should be doing more to support and accommodate single parents. While the church and the church leaders prided themselves on embracing and displaying non-discriminatory attitudes towards single parents, stigma, shame, feelings of inadequacy and failure to acknowledge single parents in the congregation has caused single parents to feel excluded, morally inferior and alienated within the church.
