Warner, Daniel. "Working-class culture and practice amid urban renewal and decline : Liverpool, c.1965-1985." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2018. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3019748/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the relationship between Liverpool’s urban space and its inner city communities between 1965 and 1985. As a period in which the city was buffeted by urban planning, urban renewal and urban decline, it illustrates the profound effects these processes had over the materiality of the city and the geography and culture of its communities. In doing so, it exposes the mutually constitutive relations between people and place in the postwar city. Landscapes created by planners and local government, and their subsequent decline, deeply shaped the structure of and potential for everyday life. The rich and diverse populations that existed underneath and alongside these processes demonstrates how communities retained an agency within these frameworks with which to shape their own lives. Their cultures and practices were deeply embedded within the cityscape, immeasurably shaping Liverpool. In drawing upon a combination of oral histories, photography and archival sources (including sociologies and urban planning documents), this thesis considers the relationship between the state, the city and its citizens. It illustrates how attempts to exert authority and control over the urban working class were met with myriad responses. It demonstrates the capacity of Liverpool’s inner city communities to resist, thwart and modify the plans and schemes that attempted to mould and shape their behaviour. It positions mundane and everyday cultures and practices as a form of resistance to exercises in state power. Moreover, it stipulates that these interactions ‘produced’ a series of spaces, to which the spaces of religion, sport, childhood and policing are examined. In illustrating the disparity between the city’s attempted shaping and actual use, it stresses the need for histories to focus on the experiences of the planned, and not simply on the plan or the planners. This thesis also provides a detailed investigation into the spaces, places and discursive constructs that became adopted into discourses regarding the inner city’s social breakdown. It furthers our understandings into the particularities of its “crisis” and exposes the diverse ways in which these endemic notions filtered down into everyday life. Furthermore, in presenting the memories of renewal and decline through oral histories, it critiques the wider cultural representations that have obscured, marginalised and stereotyped the inner city’s residents. Instead, it positions the inner city as a lively, productive and contested social and cultural space. In doing so, it contributes to our understandings of postwar working-class life and the history of the postwar British city.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliography.This dissertation is divided into two parts as required for the coursework Masters degree in History Education. Part I is a study of a high school community's participation in a regional and nationwide class/school boycott, from July 1985 to January 1986. It analyses how this event affected the community, and how the community responded to the authoritarianism of apartheid rule at critical moments during the course of the boycott. A key factor identified, is the solidarity of the community, which was responsible for its ultimate victory, albeit a small one, against the minority-elected apartheid state. The account provides evidence that this solidarity was the key and most effective weapon used by the school community during the 1985/6 class/school boycott period. It was evident when school communities re-opened their schools closed by the state in September 1985, in the discussions on the postponement of the 1985 final examinations, by the parental support shown for suspended and dismissed teachers in December 1985, and finally, on the day when teachers were allowed to return to their posts in January 1986. The primary source of data for the study is oral interviews conducted by the researcher. Questions were asked about the daily issues, events, emotive responses, ordeals experienced and decisions made when students from the oppressed community used the one weapon at their disposal, namely the boycott, to protest against the inequalities within the education system and South African society. Interviewees included staff, students, parents and members of political and teacher organisations associated with the school, referred to as Central High. during the 1985/6 boycott period. The answers elicited provided the evidence on which to construct an historical account of how ordinary men. women and children engaged in a struggle and challenged oppression at a local, community level. Part II comprises learning materials for a module of history on the 1985/6 class/school boycott, developed for learners at Grade 9 level. Current learners in South African schools were not even born in 1985. They need to know this history because it is their history. The materials contribute to the history of resistance in South Africa which is currently being taught and learnt at school level. The module has been constructed on the principles of source-based history teaching and the notion that learners learn history by "doing" what historians do. It provides a selection of historical skills, values and knowledge to enable a reconstruction of the history contained in Part I in the classroom. The approaches used include the search for evidence on the 1985/6 class/school boycott from source materials by understanding, critically examining, analysing, reasoning, detecting bias, interpreting and communicating answers to the questions and/or problems posed.

The objective of this research is to investigate and analyze how Veja magazine made the cover over the role of class organizations (CUT, PT, FIESP e CNI) between the years 1985-1989. We assume that Veja magazine acts as a private apparatus of hegemony, since it proposes referrals, organize, create consensus and shares its world view with a certain fraction of the bourgeois class, in this period studied we concluded that Veja get closer of the fractions of the bourgeois class industrial business of the Brazil. The time frame of the research included the years 1985-1989, it was a remarkable period in Brazilian history, due to "end the military dictatorship" (but not the end of the rubble of authoritarian military dictatorship, once that, Constitution remained in force for the period of dictatorship until August 1988, the repression to the social movements and forms of mobilization and organization of the working class, the illegality of the strike, the permanence of the Ministry of Armed Forces and National Security all coordinated by the military), the promulgation of the New Constitution and with it the legality of the strike for some categories and the intensification of class struggle. Due to these factors the dissertation sought to discuss, analyze, investigate from the materials of the Veja magazine how it made the cover of the economic plans implemented during the years 1985 -1989 and the consequences for the working class. So as well as investigate the coverage that the magazine Veja made about the acting of the class organizations (CUT, PT, FIESP e CNI) in the period 1985-1989 and the clashes between these organizations
O objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar e analisar de que forma a revista Veja fez a cobertura sobre a atuação das organizações de classe (CUT, PT, FIESP e CNI) entre os anos de 1985-1989. Partimos do pressuposto que a revista Veja age enquanto um aparelho privado de hegemonia, já que propõe encaminhamentos, organiza, cria consenso e compartilha sua visão de mundo com uma determinada fração da classe burguesa, nesse período estudado concluímos que Veja se aproxima das frações da classe burguesa empresarial industrial do Brasil. O recorte temporal da pesquisa compreendeu os anos de 1985-1989, pois foi um período marcante na história brasileira, devido ao fim da ditadura militar (mas não o fim do entulho autoritário da ditadura militar, uma vez que, permaneceu vigente a Constituição do período da ditadura até agosto de 1988, a repressão aos movimentos sociais e formas de mobilização e organização da classe trabalhadora, ilegalidade da greve, permanência do Ministério das Forças Armadas e da Segurança Nacional todas coordenadas por militares), a promulgação da Nova Constituição e com ela a legalidade da greve para algumas categorias e a intensificação da luta de classes. Devido a esses elementos a pesquisa procurou discutir, analisar, investigar a partir das matérias da revista Veja, como a mesma fez a cobertura dos planos econômicos implantados durante os anos de 1985-1989 e as consequências para a classe trabalhadora, bem como investigar a cobertura que a revista Veja fez sobre a atuação das organizações de classe (CUT, PT, FIESP e CNI) no período de 1985-1989 e os embates entre essas organizações

Full textAbstract:
Traditional management and public administration literature have failed to recognize the existence of the problem employee in the workforce. The purpose of this study has been to remedy this failure, and, then, to determine if Reality Therapy is an effective strategy for dealing with the problem employee.
To this end, an Interactive-Holistic theory which brings together the conceptual streams of psychology and administration has been developed in the form of fifteen propositions. Then an evaluation of Reality Therapy and other methods of dealing with the problem employee has been conducted. Theory development and evaluation of strategies for dealing with the problem employee were a response to the challenge of Chester Barnard that an administrator perform the “function of the executive“ by keeping both the needs and goals of the organization in balance with those of the employee.
To explore heuristically the probability that theory propositions are true and to determine the likelihood that Reality Therapy will be an effective strategy for dealing with a problem employee, The Computer Consultant was utilized
For the manager, the desired situation in the workplace is that employee behavior contributes effectively to the accomplishment of organizational goals. In determining the probability of this occurring, likely affect of Reality Therapy as a management technique, and the likelihood of other methods being effective, over one hundred conditions were identified as relevant to, and possible detractors from, the accomplishment of organizational objectives. From this input into TCC, the following results were calculated.
When all possible conditions are taken into consideration, the likelihood of an employee becoming a problem was calculated to be .62. If a manager has been using Reality Therapy as a management technique, this likelihood is reduced to .40. If an employee becomes a problem and a manager does nothing, the likelihood of the problem being eliminated and the employee contributing to organizational effectiveness is only .01. If an Employee Assistance Program is utilized, the likelihood of the employee's behavior contributing to the accomplishment of organizational goals was calculated to be .48. If Reality Therapy is utilized, this likelihood rises to .71. The use of both the EAP and Reality Therapy increases the likelihood of the employee's behavior changing positively to .84. Thus, it was concluded that Reality Therapy is a viable strategy for managing a problem employee.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the perceptions of program alumni from Class Afloat – a particular tall ship sailing study school – with a view for perceived personal and social development during the experience and since, through an Aristotelian virtue lens. Set at the disciplinary intersection of Aristotelian virtue theory and experiential education, self-reporting through survey and interview are analyzed to understand how program alumni perceive the experience as catalyzing or accelerating personal growth (including self-determination, responsibility, attentional flexibility, discipline, courage, moderate self-awareness, perspective, and realistic optimism) and social growth (including friendship, care for the other, empathy, humility, and loyalty) in a deeper attempt to assess perceived growth in practical wisdom, or phronesis, the practice of which mediates over and is constituted by these personal and social virtues. Program alumni are drawn from a large chronological range of cohorts (1985-2012) to best appreciate Aristotle’s notion that a flourishing life (one with developed and active practical wisdom) must be measured across a full life. In the end, the data suggests participation was significant in paradigmatic ways, leading to personal and social growth which extends far beyond the experience itself, impacting participant value commitments, personal identity, and ability to make practical wise decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Geographical variation in taxa must be considered in evolutionary studies. The purpose of the present study is to demonstrate how geographical variation can be measured and documented for a taxon for one slice of time. Future evolutionary studies should document geographical variation for the entire geographical range of the species involved at several points of time throughout its total stratigraphic range. Thus the variation that is present at one time horizon may be separated from the variation that occurs through time. This work consists of a study of geographical variation in the genus Astarte (Phylum Mollusca: Class Bivalvia) from the Yorktown and Jackson Bluff Formations (early Pliocene) of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Factor analysis, multivariate analysis of variance, and discriminant analysis were performed on measurements of specimens of Astarte from ten localities. There are significant differences in the morphologies of individuals among localities. These differences are due to the presence of different species of Astarte and to variation in size and external ornamentation within the same species. Seven species recognized from literature on Pliocene Astarte were identified among the individuals of the ten localities, but the statistical results indicate that these seven species may be grouped into three "types" that mayor may not represent species. The three types occur together in some localities, suggesting that they are distinct species living in sympatry. Factors influencing geographical variation include larval dispersal strategy and the effect of the environment.Master of Science

Previous issue date: 2015-09-24The following text is a Theology master's degree about the relation between the Catholic Church and the Society in ABC Region from 1964 to 1985. The objetive of the research is to improve the church's action towards the social challenges in the region that precedes and comes upon the Second Vatican Council where the eclesiological conception approaches the catholicism in the contemporary world. The militar civil coup caused by unstable politics and the need of structural reform in the country during this period. The Catholic Church presence in Bishop Jorge Marcos de Oliveira and Bishop Cláudio Hummes's pastoral action, both of them were diocesan bishops of Santo André in the period and contributed to the reflection about the interpretation of the relations between temporal and spiritual power in an institucional transformation period. The conception of revolution developed by Hannah Arendt will help with the dissertation verification of main hypothesis, examining the conception of mission of the catholic religion in the ABC region in social transformation (working class moviment and dictatorial governement) and with their own identity formation
O presente texto, dissertação de mestrado acadêmico em Teologia, trata das relações entre Igreja Católica e Sociedade na região do ABC Paulista entre 1964 a 1985. O objetivo da pesquisa é salientar a ação da Igreja diante dos desafios sociais da região, nos períodos que antecede e sucede o Concílio Vaticano II, onde a concepção eclesiológica aproxima o catolicismo do mundo contemporâneo. Nesse mesmo período, ocorre no Brasil o golpe civil-militar, fruto do período de instabilidade política e a necessidade de reformas estruturais no país. A presença da Igreja Católica na ação pastoral de Dom Jorge Marcos de Oliveira e Dom Cláudio Hummes, bispos diocesanos de Santo André no referido período, contribui para a reflexão sobre a interpretação das relações entre poder temporal e espiritual num período de transformações institucionais. O conceito de revolução, desenvolvido por Hannah Arendt, ajudará na verificação da hipótese principal da dissertação, analisando a concepção de missão da religião católica no ABC na transformação social (movimento operário e governo ditatorial) e na formação de sua própria identidade

Full textAbstract:
Amphibious ships, configured with floodable well decks, present a unique challenge to the Ship Design Team to incorporate maximum troop, cargo and vehicle capacity, along with sufficient well deck size, to facilitate efficient operation of LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) and other amphibious assault craft in support of power projection operations. Analysis of the various LSD 49 Class alternative designs, revealed significant variance in the stability limits for each design. These variations appeared to be directly attributable to wing wall size, as well as to the geometry of the well deck. In order to better understand the effect of these items, and to develop guidelines for future design efforts, this study concentrated on evaluating the stability limitations for various combinations of beam, well deck configuration, and wing wall size using an LSD 49 Class proposed hull form. The results indicated that the most significant parameter affecting the stability of the LSD 49 Class is the height of the well deck above the baseline. The higher the well deck, the smaller the loss of waterplane inertia caused by the entrance of flooding water into the well deck compartment. For lower well decks, the loss of waterplane inertia is more critical at smaller values of beam, but becomes less critical at the upper values of beam considered. In these cases, off-center wing wall flooding becomes more critical, and it is more advantageous to devote larger percentages of beam to the well deck compartment.M.S.

This study attempted to address the relative merits of the Weberian and Structural Marxist perspectives for explaining changes in the distribution of wage labor. The findings of the study suggested that many of the common assumptions held by Weberians and Structural Marxists concerning the effects of technological growth, increasing bureaucratization of production, increasing concentration of capital, and growth in the ranks of white-collar workers are not supported with data on manufacturing industries in the post-war era. Moreover, this study introduced collective action as an important determinant for explaining changes in the labor process and in the distribution of wage labor. The findings indicate that workers collective action enhances our understanding of labor process development and changes in wage labor. And, the findings suggest that the struggle between workers and capitalists is vital to understanding the process of capitalist development since World War II, contrary to the popularly held beliefs of many post-industrial theorists.Ph.

This study aims to provide a critical analysis of the image, of the opposition, defeats, struggles and victories usual in the working class life during the period of 1975 to 1981, pictured in the pages of Movimento newspaper. The timeline proposed in our study – that cover the period that Movimento was published (1975-1981) – can be considered one of the most significant in Brazil’s recent history. The 1970’s and beginning of the 1980’s represent a moment of intense and profound social contradictions, resulting in changes in the country’s cultural, political and economical panorama. This period is marked (acknowledged) by the vigorous and acute reemerging of the working class in the social scenario. And as a sign of resistance and struggle the targeted their actions against the cut down, exploration and autocracy, therefore demonstrating, to everyone’s surprise, that they were not asleep, as they never had been even during the terrible years of the dictatorship. These years of important social changes are an adequate and essencial period for the understanding of the working class unique and shared experiences
O objetivo deste trabalho consiste na análise imanente do retrato, corporificado nas páginas do jornal Movimento, das lutas, resistências, derrotas e vitórias cotidianas dos trabalhadores brasileiros, e demais movimentos populares, frente à superexploração de sua força de trabalho, frente à fome, desnutrição e criminalização de seus filhos, frente à miséria social infligida pela plataforma econômica da autocracia burguesa brasileira em sua forma bonapartista, especialmente entre os anos de 1975 e 1981. O recorte temporal proposto em nossa análise – que recobre os anos das datas-limites da publicação do semanário Movimento (1975-1981) – constitui um dos mais significativos períodos da recente história brasileira. A década de 1970 e início dos anos 1980 representam um momento de intensas e profundas contradições sociais, fecundo em transformações no metabolismo cultural, político e econômico do país. Época marcada, sobretudo, pela ação vigorosa e pujante da classe trabalhadora no cenário social, pautando sua atuação nos marcos da resistência e luta contra o arrocho, superexploração e autocracia, demonstrou, para a surpresa de muitos, que não estava dormindo, como nunca esteve nos terríveis anos de ditadura. Esses anos constituem, portanto, um período adequado de mudanças sociais, condição imprescindível a uma efetiva apreensão das experiências compartilhadas da classe trabalhadora, dessa “relação histórica” particular

Full textAbstract:
This study offers an analysis of representations of white, heterosexual, working-class masculinities in British culture between 1945 and 1989. As the period that saw the establishment of the Welfare State, and the construction and breakdown of the post-war consensus in British politics, this is a period of great significance in the formation and maintenance of working-class masculinities and their correspondent representations. The study aims to reinstate class as a central precept in the study of British cultural representations and uses Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of ‘habitus’ and Judith Butler’s concept of ‘performativity’ to demonstrate that the categories of class and gender are discursively constructed (Bourdieu, 2008: 170, Butler, 2008: 206). In doing so the research is able to draw from Michel Foucault’s archaeological methodology to engage with the discursive formations that constitute these categories and thus engage with both the historical continuities and the historical discontinuities, or ruptures, that constitute the category of ‘working-class masculinity’ in any given period. Within this process Raymond Williams’s concept of ‘structures of feeling’ is employed as a practical means of charting these discursive shifts within cultural representations (1977: 132). The texts studied here clearly demonstrate the extent to which the historical shifts, which become apparent as ‘structures of feeling’ and are loosely aligned with decades here, created a different, often divergent, set of demands within the category of ‘workingclass man’. These demands were both novel, in that the desires, expectations and aspirations of working-class men altered over time, and familiar, as for much of the latetwentieth century these demands remain rooted in the performative practices of what I term a ‘traditional’ working-class masculinity. The study charts the loss of these ‘traditional’ working-class masculinities as postmodern culture, ‘disorganized capitalism’ and the ‘crisis of the knowable community’ eroded or irrevocably altered the precepts upon which they were founded (Lash and Urry, 1993: 229, Williams, 1974: 14). The study shows the ideological nature of the categories of ‘working-class masculinities’ and demonstrates that what was, would, and could be said about workingclass men profoundly altered between 1945 and 1989. Ultimately the study demonstrates how this shift in discourse effected what it meant to be a working-class man in Britain.

The goal of this master s degree dissertation is to analyze the possibilities and particularities of the workers organization facing the political domination of established traditional groups in Jataí, a city located in the southwest of Goiás, during the 70 s and 80 s. During this period, the concept of development was attached to the Idea of progress. The conservative modernization process attempted by the supervisors of the region s atrophic capital enabled the local bourgeoisie not only to dominate the government structures, but also provided the control over the workers organizations demonstrations right from the beginning of the power alternation. This situation happened in a bourgeoisie autocracy with a bonapartist aspect in its democratic transition phase. We tried to establish the connections between the logic of accelerated development, that is a true characteristic of the capitalism in its monopolist phase, and the influence of this situation in the development of the labour union and the Workers Party in the southwest of Goiás by applying a methodological approach of an immanent analysis proposal of the economy, politics, social and cultural relations of this region
Esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo analisar as possibilidades e particularidades da organização dos trabalhadores na cidade de Jataí, região sudoeste do Estado de Goiás, entre as décadas de 1970 e 1980, diante do domínio político dos grupos tradicionalmente estabelecidos, em um período em que o ideal de desenvolvimento era entendido como sinônimo de progresso. O processo de modernização conservadora, empreendido pelos gestores do capital atrófico nessa região, sob a lógica de mecanismos ideológicos, garantiu à burguesia local não apenas a dominação do aparelho estatal, mas também possibilitou o controle das manifestações das organizações de representação dos trabalhadores, a partir do advento da alternância do poder, em um Estado autocrático burguês de feição bonapartista em sua fase de transição democrática. É através da aproximação metodológica de uma proposta de análise imanente das categorias particulares da economia, da política, das relações sociais e culturais inerentes a essa região, que buscamos estabelecer as conexões entre a lógica do desenvolvimento acelerado - próprias ao capitalismo em sua fase monopolista - e a sua influência no desenvolvimento dos sindicatos e do Partido dos Trabalhadores no sudoeste goiano

Full textAbstract:
This study is an ethnographic account of the experiences of a group of women workers at the GEC in Coventry during the post-war decades from 1945-1965. The company since its establishment grew from a single plant to a large multi-national company emerging as the major employer of female labour in the Coventry labour market. In outlining the emergence of the company as a major employer of women this thesis takes account of the character and development of the local labour market - thus providing a framework in which to contextualise the growth and character of the GEC as a 'woman's factory’. A major theme of the thesis concerns the ways women experienced the sexual division of labour, and the way this impinged upon their job choice and preference for the GEC. This question is organized around their experiences of recruitment, selection of working patterns and patterns of wages within the company. A second important theme concerns workplace culture -when the character of management's and women's role will be considered as a feature in the construction of female stereotypes in terms of jobs and skills. Another key theme in the thesis considers women's experiences of skill, training, job experience, promotion and the changing character of job and gender boundaries - whilst exploring such experience within the context of gendered skill and job hierarchies. The question of management control and its implications for women’s experiences constitutes a further important theme. Within this context women's experiences and ways of coping with a variety of management strategies are considered - whilst highlighting the character of change, the fragmentation of work and the importance of gender in shifting labour market conditions. The final theme considers women's perceptions and experiences of resistance and trade union organization.

Full textAbstract:
During the 1980s, women in country music enjoyed unprecedented success in record sales, television, film, and on pop and country charts. For female performers, many of their achievements were due to their abilities to mold their images to mirror American norms and values, namely increasing political conservatism, the backlashes against feminism and the civil rights movement, celebrations of working and middle class life, and the rise of the South. This dissertation divides the 1980s into three distinct periods and then discusses the changing uses of gender, race, class, and region in female country music and links each to larger historical themes. It concludes that political and social conservatism influenced women’s country performances and personas. In this way, female country music is a social text that can be used to examine 1980s America.

Full textAbstract:
After the war in the Pacific formally ended in September 1945, the victorious Allies occupied Japan and pursued Japanese militarism through democratisation programs and war crimes tribunals. Australian officials took part in the multinational effort to bring members of Japan’s leadership, the 'Class A' war criminals, to account for the war. Between 1945 and 1951 the government and military also ran wholly Australian trials, prosecuting about 800 'Class B and C' suspects for mistreating soldiers and civilians during the conflict. The government needed to be seen to be addressing public outrage over Japanese atrocities, by bringing the perpetrators to justice. In the 1950s, however, as the Cold War escalated and US priorities changed, Australian authorities became conscious that they needed to promote good relations with the US and with Japan. Australia’s harsh polices on war criminals proved to be a significant obstacle, and pressure to show clemency to imprisoned war criminals increased. The government eventually released all surviving war criminals in Australian custody by mid-1957. Writing on the early post-war period in Australia generally acknowledges that Japan was a focus of an increasingly independent and energetic foreign policy agenda. Nevertheless, the BC trials have received very little scholarly attention. The trials and their aftermath, however, constitute a twelve-year foreign policy project that illuminates Australia’s relations with Japan and the US during an era when Australia sought to establish itself as an independent participant in Asia-Pacific politics. The increasingly political dimension of the BC trials, and their propensity to inflame domestic opinion and to become entwined with high-level policies, means they offer a unique perspective on post-war Australian politics, society and, especially, foreign policy.

This research presents an analysis on the use of the class record book at Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo (São Paulo Technical School - ETFSP), an Autonomous Entity Education Establishment, originally arising from the Escola de Aprendizes Artífices (School of Apprentices and Artifices - EAA) which, for almost forty years (1959-1998), formed Secondary Education technicians in the Capital City of São Paulo, in order to meet the Brazilian Industrial Market at that period. After several renewals and names, it is currently called Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo (São Paulo Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology - IFSP). The main document sources are sets of class record books filled out by professors who ministered technical (specific) and general culture (propedeutics) classes at the Mechanics Regular Course of ETFSP between 1986 and 1989. Aiming at investigating the relationship between the class record books and the school material culture and its ordinary writing with reflections and development of the teaching practice, a qualitative research is made, centered in the analysis methodology of the contents registered. The theories in which the research are based on have support from teaching practice studies, documents and school archives inserted in the school material culture field. In that direction, the investigation relevance is also related to the fact that it historically discusses not only the document itself by also its uses and needs. The results obtained in the research indicate that the class record book it is not seen by the individuals involved as a support, reflection and teaching practice development tool, but as a procedural document for the description of tasks undertaken in the classroom, solidifying the culture of bureaucratic documents and inspection of the teaching work, even though ETFSP considers it a support tool for pedagogical activities
Esta pesquisa apresenta uma análise sobre uso do diário de classe na Escola Técnica Federal de São Paulo (ETFSP), estabelecimento de ensino autárquico, oriunda da Escola de Aprendizes Artífices (EAA) que, durante quase quarenta anos (1959-1998) de existência, formou técnicos de nível de 2º grau na capital paulista para atender ao mercado industrial brasileiro. Após várias transformações, com diferentes nomenclaturas, atualmente é denominado de Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de São Paulo (IFSP). As fontes documentais principais são os conjuntos de diários de classes produzidos pelos professores que ministraram aulas em disciplinas técnicas (específicas) e de cultura geral (propedêuticas) no Curso Técnico Regular em Mecânica da ETFSP, especificamente entre os anos de 1986 e 1989. Tendo como objetivo investigar a relação do diário de classe com a cultura material escolar e da sua escrita ordinária com uma reflexão e desenvolvimento da prática docente, realiza-se uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, centrada na metodologia de análise dos conteúdos ali registrados. As teorias que fundamentam a pesquisa estão apoiadas em estudos sobre a prática docente, documentos e arquivos escolares que se inserem no campo da cultura material escolar. Nesse sentido, a pertinência da investigação se coloca também por problematizar historicamente não apenas o documento em si, mas também seus usos e necessidades. Os resultados obtidos na pesquisa indicam que o diário de classe não é visto pelos sujeitos envolvidos como uma ferramenta de apoio, reflexão e desenvolvimento da prática pedagógica docente, mas como um documento procedimental para a descrição das tarefas realizadas no interior da sala de aula, solidificando a cultura de documento burocrático e de controle e fiscalização do trabalho docente, ainda que a ETFSP o tenha como ferramenta de apoio para subsidiar as ações pedagógicas

Full textAbstract:
Advertising is one of the oldest methods of communicating messages and ideas. Its role in twentieth century consumer culture in Italy has evolved from one of limitations of media and message to one that uses all types of media and pervades every aspect of daily life. Advertising in women's magazines is a cornerstone of this development. As such, this analysis of advertising in Italian middle-class women's magazines reveals its role in shaping the changing attitudes of Italian women who, throughout the twentieth century, have been core consumers for themselves and for their families. The analysis of specific consumer categories over the 1915 to 1980 time frame, elicits a consideration of fundamental socio-economic contextual factors, which are of interest in terms of how they affect the interpretations that women attach to advertisements throughout this significant period. This interconnected semiotic and contextual analysis is conducted in depth on a selection of product and brand-specific advertisements in these magazines, previous studies of which tended to be from particular ideological orientations without detailed analysis of the advertisements themselves. Alternatively, those few studies with a greater semiotic focus tended to limit consideration of contextual factors to a restricted time frame. This thesis attempts to bridge this gap by means of a detailed analysis of the language and images utilised in a number of advertisements over a crucial, extended historical period. In so doing, the analysis considers both the degree of divergence and of convergence in the advertising discourses within these magazines, from the dominant visions and ideologies of Italian womanhood of a particular period. In analysing the extent of such divergence or convergence, a number of factors are necessarily incorporated into the framework when examining the role played by advertising in Italian middle-class women's magazines. These are based upon the fact that the advertisements became increasingly important as vehicles for transmitting social and cultural messages that even went beyond the intended consumer-oriented messages of the advertisers. In examining these messages, this thesis stimulates a rethinking of sociocultural and ideological issues in a period of transition for Italian women and society.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a qualitative case-study of the impact of post-war affluence on working-class ways of life in the small town of Beverley, focussed particularly on sociability and identity. The thesis argues that sociological and historical concern with the decline of forms of ‘traditional working-class community’ amongst mobile populations in the 1950s and 1960s has obscured recognition of the continuing importance and vitality of local community for many working-class people in this period. Those who argued that there was a decline of community during the age of affluence (approximately 1955-1975) posited a transition from ‘traditional’ to new forms of working-class life – the present thesis suggests that in so doing, authors exaggerated both the communality of the ‘traditional’ working classes and the individualism of newly affluent workers. In Beverley, individualism and status divisions existed alongside communal sociability and mutuality in working-class streets before the age of affluence. The rising living standards of the 1950s and 1960s did not coincide with an appreciable shift towards ‘privatised nuclear families’. I am not arguing only for continuity. In the years of austerity of the 1940s, prior to the affluent decades, some streets were the focus of female sociability and mutual assistance to an extent not apparent in the 1970s. From the 1950s, rising wages, improved housing, and the availability of consumer goods such as cars and televisions allowed many to engage in new forms of sociable leisure. Post-war ideological emphasis on the companionate marriage and child-centred parenting also influenced social behaviour. But companions for both new and old forms of sociability were largely family, friends and acquaintances who also lived in the town – Beverley as a whole remained a remarkably complete social world for many of its residents. The thesis explores connections between structural features, local social networks, and an apparently strong sense of ‘Beverlonian’ identity during the affluent era. Beverley was a relatively small town with considerable demographic continuity, and residents reported that it felt like a knowable community; post-war council and private housing estates were built close to older neighbourhoods and therefore did not disrupt the social networks and connection to place of those who moved into them, as was often the case in larger cities; a range of industrial workplaces and a civil society of clubs and associations were contexts for the formation of local social networks and also gave residents a sense of their town as a distinct community with its own history and a measure of self-determination; civil society promoted the idea of a town community discursively through civic ceremony and in the pages of the local newspaper.

Full textAbstract:
Das Schulregister des Kultusministeriums MIUR verzeichnet, dass mehr als jede/r zehnte aller Schüler/innen in Italien keine italienische Staatsbürgerschaft hat, obwohl sie mehrheitlich dort geboren wurden. Zahlreiche Erhebungen weisen für sie im Vergleich zu den italienischen Mitschülern/innen geringere Italienischkenntnisse und weniger schulischen Erfolg auf.
Innerhalb dieser explorativen Feldforschung haben Einzelinterviews mit 121 Schülern/innen (5.-8. Klasse) in Turiner Schulen und mit 26 Eltern, sowie die Auswertung von 141 an 27 Italienisch- und Herkunftsprachlehrer/innen verteilten Fragebögen ergeben, dass viele Schüler/innen "zweisprachige Natives" sind, da sie mit Italienisch und einer anderen Sprache aufwachsen. Dieser Polyglottismus, den die Interviewten sehr positiv bewerteten, findet jedoch in der Schulpraxis keine Entsprechung: Gezielte Förderung im Italienischen und der Unterricht der Familiensprache sind meist Wunschdenken.
In der Kohorte haben die Schüler/innen mit den besten Italienischkenntnissen einen italophonen Elternteil bzw. kamen im Vorschulalter nach Italien und besuchten dort den Kindergarten. Dagegen sind, wie auch bei den INVALSI-Tests, die in Italien geborenen und die dann die Krippe besuchten, leicht benachteiligt. Was die Familiensprache angeht, verbessert ihr Erlernen die Kompetenzen darin, ohne dem Italienischen zu schaden: Im Gegenteil. Diese Ergebnisse bestätigen die wichtige Rolle der "anderen" Sprache für einen gelungen Spracherwerb.
Das MIUR sollte also sein Schulregister mit Sprachdaten ergänzen, um die Curricula im Sinn der EU-Vorgaben umzuschreiben und den sprachlich heterogenen Klassen gezielte Ressourcen und definierte Vorgehensweisen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Mit geringeren Mitteln, im Vergleich zu den jetzigen Kosten für Herunterstufung, Klassenwiederholung und Schulabbruch würde man Schulerfolg, Chancengerechtigkeit und Mehrsprachigkeit fördern, mit positiven Folgen für den Einzelnen sowie für die Volkswirtschaft.The Italian Ministry of Education (MIUR) student register records that today in Italy more than one out of ten students is not an Italian citizen, although the majority of them were born there. Several statistical surveys indicate that "foreign" students, when compared to native students, show a poorer performance in Italian and in academic achievement. This exploratory fieldwork carried out in schools in Turin (5th to 8th grade) analyzed data obtained through semi-structured interviews with 121 students and 26 parents as well as 141 questionnaires filled in by 27 teachers of Italian and family language. It showed that many students are "bilingual natives", as they grow up acquiring both Italian and another language; however, despite the fact that the interviewees rate polyglottism positively, schools don't usually offer targeted support in either language. Within the cohort the broadest range of competences in Italian are found first among those with an Italian-speaking parent, then among those who arrived in Italy at pre-school age attending kindergarten there; this latter group shows higher competences than those born in Italy attending nursery there, as also in the INVALSI tests. As far as family language is concerned, data illustrate that its teaching increases its competences without affecting those in Italian: quite the opposite in fact. These results confirm the remarkable role played by the "other" language in successful language education. MIUR is therefore called upon to include also linguistic data in its student register, so as to redefine its curricula according to EU Guidelines, and to identify specific procedures and resources for multilingual classes. This new policy would reduce the current cost of placing students in a lower grade, grade retention and drop-outs, and would promote school success, equal opportunities and multilingualism, with positive consequences both for the individuals and for the national economy.
L'anagrafe studenti del MIUR registra come oggi in Italia più di uno studente su dieci non è cittadino italiano, pur essendo la maggioranza di loro nata in questo paese. Numerose indagini statistiche mostrano come gli allievi "stranieri" presentino, rispetto a quelli italiani, ridotte competenze in italiano e minore successo scolastico. Questa ricerca esplorativa svolta in alcune scuole di Torino (V elementare-III media) ha analizzato dati ottenuti tramite interviste semi-strutturate a 121 studenti e 26 genitori e 141 questionari compilati da 27 insegnanti di italiano e di lingua di famiglia. Da essa è emerso che molti studenti sono "nativi bilingui", poiché crescono usando l'italiano e un'altra lingua. Questo poliglottismo, valutato dagli intervistati assai positivamente, non si rispecchia però nella prassi scolastica: un supporto mirato in italiano e l'insegnamento della lingua di famiglia sono di regola una chimera. All'interno del campione le più ampie competenze in italiano si trovano fra chi ha un genitore italofono e chi è arrivato in Italia in età prescolare frequentandovi la scuola materna; come constatato anche nei test INVALSI, chi è nato in Italia e vi ha frequentato l'asilo nido è leggermente svantaggiato. Rispetto alla lingua di famiglia risulta che il suo studio porta a migliori competenze in essa, senza nuocere all'italiano: anzi. Emerge quindi il ruolo significativo della lingua "altra" per un'educazione linguistica efficace. L'invito al MIUR è quindi di integrare la propria anagrafe con dati linguistici, così da ridefinire i propri curricula secondo le Linee Guida Comunitarie, individuando procedure e risorse specifiche per le classi multilingui. Con un investimento ridotto, paragonato con il costo attuale dato da retrocessioni, ripetenze e abbandono scolastico, si riuscirebbe a sostenere il successo scolastico, le pari opportunità e il plurilinguismo, con conseguenze positive per i singoli e per l'economia nazionale.

Full textAbstract:
In the history of welfare state, the publication of the Beveridge Report in 1942 represents one of the biggest
steps toward the creation of a complete social security system for all the citizens of a state. Influenced by
ideas and purposes of such report, political parties in France and Italy tried to imagine a more efficient and
inclusive welfare system for their own countries, with the aim of extending the benefits of social legislation
to middle class – especially non-salaried middle class workers (peasants, craftsmen, shop owners). For both
Socialist and Christian-Democratic parties, the middle class was problematic for two main reasons. Firstly,
from an ideological point of view, it proved the fallacies of Marxist theory about social evolution towards
two major classes – proletariat and bourgeoisie; at the same times it highlighted the need of a more precise
definition of the ideology of “inter-classism” professed by Christian-Democratic parties. Secondly, the vote
of non-salaried middle class workers was of fundamental importance for parties engaged in the election
game. The aim of this research is to analyse the way by which French and Italian Christian-Democratic and
Socialist parties tried to adapt their ideology and politics to the needs and requests of non-salaried middle
class. In this process, the extension of welfare state benefits was seen as a major element for the social and
political integration of this group of citizens. To this end, the research takes into account the position
regarding the issues of welfare state and middle class adopted by four parties – Mouvement Républicain
Populaire (MRP), Democrazia Cristiana (DC), Section Française de l’Internationale Ouvrière (SFIO), Partito
Socialista Italiano (PSI) – in their congresses, in the party press, and finally in the bills and in Parliamentary
debates.

This study aims to present an approach of how the new unionism contributed to the change in the political culture of the leaders in commerce unionism João Pessoa, between 1986 and 1993. Historical context in which the authentic unionism emerged provided significant changes in the relationship between capital and work from the disruption to the ancient practice of making unionism during the military dictatorship. We believe that this movement was primarily responsible for the change in behavior of the new union leaders that category of workers where there was a prevailing culture of harmony between antagonistic classes. This new unionism will bring out a union opposition to fight what became known as pelegas practices. From an analysis of the political practices of the "old unionism" and change the political culture in commerce unionism João Pessoa. Understand how political culture not only the practices and attitudes of social agents, but these agents have relationships with symbolic elements, whether the acceptance or rejection and certain power projects in the political structure. As theoretical foundation, we will use the concepts of political culture and class identity in order to understand the behavior of union leaders Category shopkeeper.

Este estudo tem por finalidade fazer uma abordagem de como o novo sindicalismo contribuiu para a mudança de cultura política das lideranças do sindicalismo comerciário de João Pessoa, entre 1986 e 1993. O contexto histórico em que surgiu o sindicalismo autêntico proporcionou mudanças significativas nas relações entre capital e trabalho a partir das rupturas com as antigas práticas de se fazer sindicalismo durante a ditadura militar. Acreditamos que este movimento foi o principal responsável pela mudança de comportamento dos novos dirigentes sindicais daquela categoria de trabalhadores onde predominava uma cultura de harmonia entre as classes antagônicas. Esse novo sindicalismo vai fazer emergir uma oposição sindical no combate ao que ficou conhecido como práticas pelegas. A partir de uma análise entre as práticas políticas do chamado velho sindicalismo e, mudança de cultura política no sindicalismo comerciário de João Pessoa. Entendemos como cultura política não só as práticas e atitudes dos agentes sociais, mas as relações que esses agentes têm com os elementos simbólicos, sejam pela aceitação e ou pela rejeição a determinados projetos de poder na estrutura política. Como fundamentação teórica, utilizaremos os conceitos de cultura política e identidade de classe visando entender o comportamento dos dirigentes sindicais da categoria comerciária.

Salveson, P. S. "Region, class, culture : Lancashire dialect literature 1746-1935." Thesis, University of Salford, 1993. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/14672/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis looks at the origin and development of Lancashire dialect literature between the publication of John Collier's ('Tim Bobbin') A View of the Lancashire Dialect in 1746, and the death of Allen Clarke ('Teddy Ashton') in 1935. The thesis is partly chronological, paying particular attention to the largely unexplored period of dialect writing between the 1890s and the 1930s, which suggests that earlier assessments of dialect literature need revision. The period before the First World War witnessed the development of a dialect literature closely linked to the labour movement in Lancashire, and contributed to the development of a distinctive socialist culture. For a time at least, dialect literature escaped from the middle class patronage which characterised it in the 1850s and 1860s, aided by the existence of an independent, Lancashire-based, press. Dialect literature was never a pure, unadulterated 'voice of the people', and it was used both by middle and working class social forces to support rival value systems. An argument in dialect suggested a practical, common sense, wisdom, regardless of the actual message. Dialect poetry was used by different writers to support imperialist adventures, Irish home rule, left-wing socialism, and to oppose strikes, women's suffrage, and restrictions on access to the countryside. The literature represented divisions within the working class, as well as attempts from the middle class to influence it. Differing class and political standpoints were, on occasions, transcended by a wider regional consciousness in which dialect had a prominent place. Particular themes within dialect literature are explored, contributing to current debates on class, identity, and gender. The treatment of women, war and imperialism, work, and the 'Cotton Famine' of 1861-4 are examined in separate chapters. Selfcriticism, and defences of dialect writing, are looked at in Chapter 6 on "Defending Dialect".

This research aims to investigate the daily lives of men and women of the working class city of Recife (1890-1915), at a time when concern about female honor, family preservation, the polarization of home space versus the street, and the value of free labor relate to the subject of national progress and the modernization of cities. Thus, taking into account the number of women than men, the vast number of existing widows in the state of Pernambuco, a considerable portion of domestic workers and the high illiteracy rate during the early years of the Republic, will seek to study the female experiences and men of the working class in their daily lives, in their conflicts arising from the precarious material, gender relations, class and color. Through a documentary corpus of criminal proceedings and journals, we propose to analyze small fragments of life of these subjects, they shared the same material reality and a chain of relationships involving standards of morality and honesty defined by gender cleavages, class and color. Investigate how men and women in pursuit of their livelihood and their peers, building their relations of solidarity and cronyism ties, touting identities, resisting and negotiating to / with publicized standards of morality.

Dessa maneira, levando em consideração o número de mulheres superior ao de homens, a grande cifra de viúvas existentes no estado de Pernambuco, a considerável parcela de trabalhadores domésticos e o elevado índice de analfabetismo durante os anos iniciais da República, buscaremos estudar as experiências femininas e masculinas da classe trabalhadora em seu cotidiano, em seus conflitos decorrentes da precariedade material, das relações de gênero, de classe e de cor. Através de um corpus documental composto por processos-crime e periódicos, nos propomos analisar pequenos fragmentos da vida destes sujeitos, que compartilhavam de uma mesma realidade material e de uma cadeia de relações que envolviam padrões de moralidade e honradez definidas por clivagens de gênero, classe e cor. Investigaremos como homens e mulheres na busca pela sua sobrevivência e de seus pares, construíam suas relações de solidariedade e laços de compadrios, agenciando identidades, resistindo e negociando aos/com padrões de moralidade propalados.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThis dissertation closes the activities performed in the History Post Graduation Program at the Federal University of Santa Maria, with the assistance of the scholarship CAPES / DS. The subject of research related class cultures between anarchists and socialists in the city of Porto Alegre in the early twentieth century. This research was centered in the "History, Power and Culture", thus the work addressed the existing power relations in the labor movement with society and culture. The line of research "Culture, Migration and Work" contributed to the discussion on the transformation of an associative culture caused by anarchists and socialists in an environment of continuous migrations. The main objective was to understand the class cultures as a field of discussion which articulated the actions of those activists in the political and cultural fields for the construction of a social revolution. For this research, the main sources used were the papers Struggle, anarchist nature and Democracy, the socialist trend. These documents were found in the Research Center for History at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (NPH - UFRGS), microfilmed and in great condition. The analysis of the sources indicated the ways, strategies and actions that these groups kept in Porto Alegre workers' societies. They helped to identify the intellectual and literary productions that diffused ideology, complaints and worker-reader distraction. Besides working with sources, a thorough investigation was carried out in the bibliography of studies on the labor movement in the First Republic of Brazil. These discussions led to the understanding about the association and cultural manifestations of the class, the spatial area and limited time. The objectives were to verify the events, publications in the newspapers and the effect of these phenomena among those workers. The rationale for this research took place from the need for discussion about the organizations and manifestations of class at a time that is speculated invalidity of these tools.
Esta dissertação encerra as atividades desempenhadas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em História da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, com o auxílio da bolsa CAPES/DS. O tema da pesquisa relacionou as culturas de classe entre os anarquistas e socialistas na cidade de Porto Alegre no início do século XX. Esta pesquisa ficou centrada na área História, Poder e Cultura , assim, o trabalho abordou as relações de poder existente no movimento operário coma sociedade e a cultura. A linha de pesquisa Cultura, Migrações e Trabalho colaborou para a discussão sobre as transformações de uma cultura associativa provocada pelos anarquistas e socialistas em um ambiente de migrações contínuas. O objetivo central foi o de compreender as culturas de classe como um campo de discussão a qual articulou as ações daqueles militantes nos campos político e cultural em prol da construção de uma revolução social. Para essa pesquisa, as principais fontes utilizadas foram os jornais A Luta, de cunho anarquista e o A Democracia, de tendência socialista. Estes documentos foram encontrados no Núcleo de Pesquisa em História da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (NPH UFRGS), microfilmados e em ótimo estado. A análise das fontes indicou as formas, as estratégias e as ações que estes grupos mantiveram nas sociedades operárias porto-alegrenses. Elas ajudaram a identificar as produções intelectuais e literárias que difundiam a ideologia, as denúncias e a distração do operário-leitor. Além do trabalho com as fontes, foi realizada uma investigação profunda nas referências bibliográficas dos estudos sobre o movimento operário na Primeira República do Brasil. Estas discussões permitiram a compreensão a respeito do associativismo e das manifestações culturais da classe, no recorte espacial e temporal delimitado. Assim, os objetivos foram o de verificar os eventos, as publicações nos jornais e as incidências destes fenômenos entre aqueles operários. A justificativa para a realização desta pesquisa se deu a partir da necessidade da discussão a respeito das organizações e das manifestações da classe em um momento que se especula a invalidez destas ferramentas.

Full textAbstract:
Education is one of the dimensional indices used to calculate Human development. In the last 10 years, the quality of education in Tanzania has rendered a large number of children finishing basic primary education unable to read or and in some cases being required to repeat a class. In Tanzania, class repetition is considered to be a strategy that assists literacy in children by availing them another opportunity to participate in lessons and re-sit examinations for the failed year. The concept is contested in other parts of the world where studies suggest that withholding children has negative consequences on children’s future academic and socio-emotional outcomes thus further affecting educational performance. This study looked at the experience of young people of repeating a class in a society where education is given great emphasis as means of social mobility. It looked at the experience of the young people in Tanzania, in the context of the various systems surrounding them and interacting with them (both directly and indirectly) such as their families, schools, neighbourhoods, communities, education policies and laws; and how such systems either fostered or hindered their resilience when repeating a class. Using responses from young people who were this study’s key informants and comparative approaches based on resilience and ecological framework, the study highlights how the process of decision making impacted and influenced the perception of young people of repeating a class as well as influenced these young people’s overall experience of repeating a class. Young people’s participation and consultation in the process of decision making was given great significance and as such, a model has been developed to emphasize children’s voices, approaches and interventions that are child-centred.

The People’s Administration of Fortaleza (1986–1988) is one of the first experiences of the brazilian left in the sphere of public administration, after military governments in Brazil. The goal of this research about the history of the APF educational policy. In other words sought to understand and analyze the meanings of that administrative experience in the field of education in Fortaleza. The theoretical research on outbreaks used this Education lie on the field of history and history education in the perspective of authors such as Paul Ricouer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Paul Giles Deleuze and Michel Weyne, Pollak, who are used as plot concepts/notions, narrative, games, memory disputed and segmented. The methodological tools were the documentary and oral sources, the result of interviews with political figures and consultations with the newspapers of the period. The dissertation is evidence for finding that the APF memory is disputed forces standing left in Fortaleza and to demonstrate that, despite numerous misconceptions, administrative-political educational policy was inspired in the popular and democratic education, being understood in education concept observed by the brazilian educator Paulo Freire, in the direction of increasing political awareness of the popular classes.
A Administração Popular de Fortaleza (1986–1988) constitui-se numa das primeiras experiências da esquerda brasileira na esfera da administração pública, depois dos governos militares no Brasil. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi uma investigação sobre a história da política educacional da APF. Em outras palavras buscou compreender e analisar os sentidos daquela experiência administrativa, no âmbito da Educação em Fortaleza. Os focos teóricos utilizados nesta pesquisa em Educação situam-se no campo da História e Historia da Educação, na perspectiva de pensadores como Paul Ricouer, Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, Paul Veyne, Giles Deleuze e Michel Pollak, de quem são utilizados os conceitos/noções como narrativa, trama, jogos de força, disputabilidade da memória e segmentariedade. Os instrumentos metodológicos foram as fontes documentais orais e escritas, resultado de entrevistas com personalidades políticas e de consultas aos jornais do período. A dissertação evidencia para constatação de que a memória da APF encontra-se em disputabilidade permanente pelas forças políticas de esquerda em Fortaleza e para a demonstração de que, apesar de inúmeros equívocos político-administrativos, a política educacional inspirou-se na educação democrática e popular, sendo compreendida a educação na noção observada pelo educador brasileiro Paulo Freire, no sentido da elevação da consciência política das classes populares

Este trabalho se localiza no campo de disputas e de construção de narrativas sobre o mais recente período ditatorial brasileiro, fincado entre os anos de 1964 e 1985. Elegeu-se um locus específico de pesquisa: a relação entre a gestão “oficial” realizada pelo Estado sobre o material memorialístico nacional e os espaços subterrâneos da memória. De um lado, foram estudados os resultados produzidos pela Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV), enquanto política “pública” de memória. De outro, investigaram-se as memórias de operários navais sobre o período do golpe e da ditadura, assim como suas percepções sobre as políticas de memória empreendidas ao longo dos governos pós-85. Com o objetivo de contribuir para a avaliação das atuais formas de gestão estatal sobre as memórias de grupos atingidos pelo terrorismo de Estado, o trabalho pretendeu responder uma pergunta central: como as memórias subterrâneas da ditadura foram tratadas no relatório final da Comissão Nacional da Verdade (CNV)? Para responder essa pergunta, buscou-se estabelecer o decisivo nexo entre memórias específicas e totalidade histórica, entre particularidade e universalidade. Assim, foi possível construir uma interpretação histórica sobre esse passado a partir tanto de dados bibliográficos consolidados quanto das lembranças dos entrevistados. Percebeu-se que a combinação entre o modus operandi de terror – operacionalizada, principalmente, mas não exclusivamente pelas forças militares – e os interesses do capital – evidenciados pelo aprofundamento de um projeto dependente-associado fundado na superexploração da força de trabalho – materializaram o que chamamos aqui de ditadura empresarial-militar. Ao mesmo tempo, foi necessário estabelecer uma conexão teórica entre memória, esquecimento e gestão, a qual sintetizamos na definição de administração política da memória. Nessa etapa, refletimos mais apropriadamente sobre as funções histórico-sociais do Estado, da democracia liberal e das próprias políticas “públicas”. Realizadas tais necessárias digressões, pôde-se avaliar os resultados produzidos pela CNV, enquanto materialização de uma administração política de memórias (e também de esquecimentos). Foi possível inferir que o relatório final intensificou, intencionalmente ou não, uma espécie de apaziguamento das memórias de grupos que foram atingidos pelo terror do Estado durante a ditadura. Ao que parece, a CNV contribuiu assim para a valorização das perspectivas do consenso, da conciliação, dos acordos, as quais já vinham sendo colocadas.
This research is located in the dispute field and narratives construction about the latest Brazilian dictatorial period, between 1964 and 1985. A specific research locus has been elected: the relationship between State “official” management on the national memorial material and the subterranean spaces of memory. On one hand, the results produced by the National Truth Commission were studied as a “public” policy of memory. On the other hand, it was investigated the naval workers memories during the coup and the dictatorship, as well as their perceptions about memory policies launched during the post-85 governments. Therefore, aiming to contribute to an evaluation of the current forms of state management about memories of groups hit by State terrorism, the present work intended to answer a central question: how did the National Truth Commission final report deal with the subterranean memories of the dictatorship? To answer this question, we tried to establish a crucial link between specific memories and historical totality, between particularity and universality. It had allowed us to build a historical interpretation of that past, using consolidated bibliographic data and the memories of the workers interviewed here. The combination of the modus operandi of terror – operationalized mainly but not exclusively by the military forces - and the capital's interests – evidenced by the deepening of a dependent-associated project based on the super exploitation of labor force – materialized what we call as corporate-military dictatorship. At the same time, it was necessary to establish a connection between theoretical memory, oblivion and management, which was synthetized by the definition of political administration of memories. At this stage, it was possible to think appropriately on the historical and social functions of the state, liberal democracy and the "public" policies. Made these necessary digressions, it was possible to evaluate the results produced by the CNV, as materialization of memory and oblivion policy administration. It is possible to infer that the final report intensified, intentionally or not, a type of appeasement memory narrative of groups that were affected by state terrorism during the dictatorship. Apparently, the CNV contributed to the appreciation of perspectives of consensus, conciliation, agreements, which have already been practiced by different post- 85 civil governments. However, we suggest something else. On our view, the CNV has advanced these "official" forms of management memories and forgetfulness, featured by a sophisticated strategy to silence while remembering.

Full textAbstract:
The primary purpose of this thesis is to analyse the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, the LO’s, mediated rhetoric, arguments and social and institutional practices in the process of forming the LO’s policy regarding the introduction, incorporation and participation of immigrants in Swedish society in general, the workplace and the trade union movement in the period 1945–1981. The theoretical purpose is to explore how power relations of superiority and subordination based primarily on the categories of class, ethnicity and nation, but also on gender and to some extent generation, have been formed through ideological processes of inclusion and boundary drawing in rhetorical speeches, texts and institutional practices within the framework of an explicit class-based community as the LO constituted. The results demonstrate that the LO had an ambivalent attitude towards labour immigration in an expanding post-war Swedish economy. On the one hand the trade unions accepted that industrial growth and general welfare reforms were dependent on the labour supply. On the other hand, the LO feared that uncontrolled labour immigration would be a disadvantage for indigenous workers, since wages could be kept low and obsolete industrial sectors could be maintained and the “solidarity wage policy” could be endangered because of the influx of migrant labour. Organising the immigrants was a central part of the union movement’s strategy, and the LO also insisted from the very beginning on equal wages and employment conditions between indigenous and immigrant workers to avoid wage pressures. During the second half of the 1960s and the 1970s, the LO repeatedly argued that the scale of immigration should be weighted against factors such as access to work, housing, social services, education and language teahcing. One major argument in the thesis is that within the LO, immigration policy measures were perceived to be a functional “adaptation” of immigrants to the already defined institutions, norms and national culture of the Swedish majority society. Accordingly, the immigrants were expected to adapt themselves to the “normal” Swedish and social democratic way of doing things in a rational and organised manner. During the 1970s, Swedish language training and company introduction with union attendance, translated information bulletins about the Swedish labour market and society, union courses and study circles could be seen as central means in a process of socialisation and “normalisation”. These policy measures were dimensions of a social democratic ideological identity project within the trade union movement, which was constructed as a symbol of the given national order and “the Swedish way of doing things”. The results also demonstrate how class, ethnicity, nation and gender have worked as structuring principles of power and status within the LO.

This new form of multiattribute utility optimization is
based on ordinal as opposed to cardinal utility and is
defined from a corresponding integer programming model in
operations research which (1) is solved for ordinal cost
factors and (2) serves as the problem's theoretical starting
point.
It is suggested herein that one start with a mathematical formulation that if solved in an acceptable or -- preferably -- best manner would yield a satisfactory or possibly best solution to the problem. Then, that mathematical formulation and its solution technique defines the multiattribute utility problem and its solution at issue. This is the reverse of what is usually done; and as will be shown, doing this can be quite fruitful.
The illustrative example concerns a mathematical 1 formulation based on operation research's assignment problem. As will be argued, the cost factors must be ordinal, which essentially corresponds to using ordinal utility; hence the technique will be framed in the realm of ordinal utility.
The technique for solving the illustrative example's
mathematical formulation is to achieve a premium mix of
operations research solution properties. From this
perspective, some sticky issues in multiattribute utility
theory when the attributes involve the preferences of
distinct persons are not included in the philosophical base
for the multiattribute utility problem and its solution
thusly defined.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis describes and interprets the historical development of the legal regulation of the Ugandan trade union movement and assesses the relative importance of law in the determination of the character of trade union organisation in the post-colonial period 1962-1987. Chapter I defines the scope of the thesis and identifies the theoretical framework and analytical themes on which the thesis is based. Chapter II deals with the colonial foundations of the post-colonial legislation with which the thesis is mainly concerned. Chapters III, IV and V cover the period 1962-1987 whereby we analyse, first, the class and political character of the legal changes that take place between 1963-1976. Secondly, we examine the practical operation and impact of the law vis-a-vis the role of state policy and behaviour, the ideological outlook adopted by the trade unions, union constitutional structures and leadership struggles in the formation of the character of contemporary trade unionism in Uganda. The thesis treats law as a historical category and takes as its starting point the Marxist conceptualisations which view law variously as an instrument of the dominant class, as ideology or which attempt a materialist analysis. From these perspectives we examine the processes of class struggle through which the specific legislation came into being and more crucially the importance of the balance of class forces in the practical utilisation of legal rights or restrictions. We conclude in Chapter VI that while the economic parameters in which trade unions exist and operate are important determinants of union character, within those parameters the character of the state has proved to be most crucial. But at the level of the unions themselves, the ideology they adopt, their constitutional structures and leadership struggles, together, have created the contemporary undemocratic, economistic-apolitical and technocratic aspects of trade unionism in Uganda. However law has been important for the unions to the extent that it has been mainly a source of legitimation for their autonomous existence, most of the time, in their chequered history. The analysis of the historical and class origins and nature of the law regulating trade union organisation and the assessment we make of the role of law vis-a-vis the role played by other factors in determining the character of trade union organisation in Uganda is, in our view, an original contribution to the knowledge of industrial relations law in Uganda. The construction and interpretation of the historical phases through which both trade union law and trade union organisation have passed is likewise an original contribution to the knowledge of trade unionism in Uganda.

Full textAbstract:
With the outbreak of revolution in 1905 thousands of members of the working classes of industrial Russia combined together to provide their own unique contribution to Russian history and politics - the soviet movement. This movement was not a spontaneous outburst of semi-anarchistic and inchoate political and emotional attitudes. Nor was it a movement controlled and manipulated by revolutionary Social Democracy. In terms of its organisations, ideology, and political base the soviet movement of 1905 was controlled and directed by the working class itself and the experiences of past industrial struggle. This thesis examines in detail the extent and nature of the soviet movement in 1905. Part 1 introduces some of the methodological and theoretical issues associated with our study and provides the reader with the narrative detail of the movement. Part 2 contains a thematic exploration of the movement in terms of its organisation, social composition, political and economic demands and forms of protest. It also examines the nature of the relationship between revolutionary social democracy and the Soviets. It finds, that, given the right circumstances, the working classes were capable not only of forming a broad based opposition to the Tsarist autocracy but were also able to draw up their own political agenda with their own forms of revolutionary protest.

Full textAbstract:
Little has been written about the Territorial Air Force (TAF) as a voluntary military organisation and no sustained analysis of its recruitment and social composition undertaken. Made up of three different parts, the Auxiliary Air Force (AAF), the Special Reserve (SR) and the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR), these three separate and different groups have not featured significantly in existing literature. Current historiography of the AAF and SR is dominated by the experiences of 600 and 601 Squadrons based in London and presents a popular image of a gentleman's flying club, whilst that of the RAFVR presents an image of a much more egalitarian institution, intended to be a citizens’ air force. This thesis presents new and detailed research into the recruitment and social backgrounds of men serving in both the pre and post-war TAF. It seeks to provide an overview of the social composition of all AAF and SR squadrons and offers a case study of 608 (North Riding) Squadron based at Thornaby Aerodrome between 1930 and 1957. Using primary documents from the National Archives (TNA) and recently digitised press records, it explores the recruitment processes, social backgrounds and social relations of personnel in the TAF. Whilst focusing primarily on officers, it looks too at the experience of non-officer recruits. Its findings indicate that the structures and cultures of the AAF and SR squadrons were indeed similar to the well-publicised London squadrons, whilst those for the RAFVR were much more elite than was expected. Military voluntarism continued to play a key role in the defence of twentieth-century Britain, but the underlying tensions and weaknesses associated with a class-based voluntary culture meant that the TAF had to change in response to new pressures. The thesis charts how these changes began to manifest themselves in the post-war world. Class ceased to be the key determining factor in the recruitment of officers as the organisations faced new challenges. Within both the AAF and the RAFVR the pre-war impression of a gentlemen's flying club finally gave way to a more meritocratic culture in the post-war world.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the procedures described in the PEAK-E curriculum in generating derived intraverbal categorization responses in both a vocal categorization context and written problem-solving context, replicated across three children with disabilities. Six four-member equivalence classes were taught, including three class member stimuli (A, B, and C) as well as one function class name (D), using a match-to-sample arrangement. These classes were divided into two stimulus sets (i.e., classes 1-3 and classes 4-6) and trained using pre-class (D-C training followed by mixed A-B/B-C training) and post-class formations (Mixed A-B/B-C training followed by D-C training). The procedures were efficacious in generating derived intraverbal categorization responses for one participant in a vocal context, and additional exemplar training was required for the emergence of vocal categorization responses in the other two participants. None of the participants were able to solve the written problem-solving tasks following training and testing of all target relations.

Full textAbstract:
[From Introduction]: ‘Work’ is not a topic that much concerns contemporary novelists or fires the creative imagination. Today, writing about work is primarily done by investigative reporters like Elizabeth Wynhausen, whose Dirt Cheap: Life at the Wrong End of the Job Market (2005) is a striking – if rare – under-cover exposé of what ‘economic reform’ really means for menial Australian workers. There is certainly no literary equivalent now of the British and Australian novels, appearing in the 1950s and 1960s, preoccupied with the relationship between changing patterns of work and working-class experience: the lived transformations of traditional class and family ties; the impact of new consuming habits and popular cultural pursuits; the political situation of ordinary working people, and shifts in their attitudes and values. These British and Australian novels generally assumed that reorganisations of the working coal face or factory floor extended into the private sphere, informing or producing the stressful personal dramas played out in communities and at the kitchen sink.This thesis argues that these novels were elements of a broader dialogue in the 50s and 60s: one in which work and working-class life were significant subjects, articulated in a range of complementary discourses that were interlocutory – economic and political analysis, sociology, nascent cultural theory, popular newspaper commentary and literature. Consequently, a main objective of this thesis is to reveal how these representational forms or disciplines converged in the period 1950–1965: to examine their common themes and interests, and their collectiveresponses to questions concerning working-class life. The thesis argues that all these forms or disciplines shared the view that the condition of the working classes, in both Britain and Australia, crucially mattered to the overall social architecture of the time. It also argues that they all regarded the presence of America, the era’s pre-eminent global force, as central to such questions; and that America was complexly understood as an idealised political concept, a power-house of popular cultural production, and a very real engine of socio-economic change.
