Blagrove, Mark Thomas. "The narrative of dream reports." Thesis, Brunel University, 1989. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/5147.
Full textAbstract:
Two questions are addressed: 1) whether a dream is meaningful as a whole, or whether the scenes are separate and unconnected, and 2) whether dream images are an epiphenomenon of a functional physiologicaL process of REM sleep, or whether they are akin to waking thought. Theories of REM sleep as a period of information-processing are reviewed. This is Linked with work on the relationship between dreaming and creativity, and between memory and imagery. Because of the persuasive evidence that REM sleep is implicated in the consolidation of memories there is a review of recent work on neural associative network models of memory. Two theories of dreams based on these models are described, and predictions with regard to the above two questions are made. Psychological evidence of relevance to the neural network theories is extensively reviewed. These predictions are compared with those of the recent application of structuralism to the study of dreams, which is an extension from its usual field of mythology and anthropology. The different theories are tested against four nights of dreams recorded in a sleep Lab. The analysis shows that not only do dreams concretise waking concerns as metaphors but that these concerns are depicted in oppositional terms, such as, for example, inside/outside or revolving/static. These oppositions are then permuted from one dream to the next until a resolution of the initial concern is achieved at the end of the night. An account of the use of the single case-study methodology in psychology is given, in addition to a replication of the analysis of one night's dreams by five independent judges. There is an examination of objections to the structuralist methodology, and of objections to the paradigm of multiple dream awakenings. The conclusion is drawn that dreams involve the unconscious dialectical step-by-step resolution of conflicts which to a great extent are consciously known to the subject. The similarity of dreams to day-dreams is explored, with the conclusion that the content of dreams is better explained by an account of metaphors we use when awake and by our daily concerns, than by reference to the physiology of REM sleep. It is emphasised that dreams can be meaningful even if they do not have a function.

Sudhahar, Saatviga. "Automated analysis of narrative text using network analysis in large corpora." Thesis, University of Bristol, 2015. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.685924.
Full textAbstract:
In recent years there has been an increased interest in computational social sciences, digital humanities and political sciences to perform automated quantitative narrative analysis (QNA) of text in large scale, by studying actors, actions and relations in a given narration. Social scientists have always relied on news media content to study opinion biases and extraction of socio-historical relations and events. Yet in order to perform analysis they had to face labour-intensive coding where basic narrative information was manually extracted from text and annotated by hand. This PhD thesis addresses this problem using a big-data approach based on automated information extraction using state of the art Natural Language Processing, Text mining and Artificial Intelligence tools. A text corpus is transformed into a semantic network formed of subject-verb-object (SVO) triplets, and the resulting network is analysed drawing from various theories and techniques such as graph partitioning, network centrality, assortativity, hierarchy and structural balance. Furthermore we study the position of actors in the network of actors and actions; generate scatter plots describing the subject/object bias, positive/ negative bias of each actor; and investigate the types of actions each actor is most associated with. Apart from QNA, SVO triplets extracted from text can also be used to summarize documents. Our findings are demonstrated on two different corpora containing English news articles about US elections and Crime and a third corpus containing ancieilt folklore stories from the Gutenberg Project. Amongst potentially interesting findings we found the 2012 US elections campaign was very much focused on 'Economy' and 'Rights'; and overall, the media reported more frequently positive statements for the Democrats than the Republicans. In the Crime study we found that the network identified men as frequent perpetrators, and women and children as victims, of violent crime. A network approach to text based on semantic graphs is a promising approach to analyse large corpora of texts and, by retaining relational information pertaining to actors and objects, this approach can reveal latent and hidden patterns, and therefore has relevance in the social sciences and humanities.

Full textAbstract:
O presente trabalho discute o potencial da narrativa no processo de construção do conhecimento, sobretudo do conhecimento histórico. O caráter narrativista da História demonstra que desde sua origem o conhecimento histórico já estava associado à ideia de narrativa e os desdobramentos dessa associação são aqui discutidos. Tendo como princípio que o processo de construção do conhecimento se efetiva dentro de uma rede de relações, a presente dissertação analisa de que modo o saber narrativo pode contribuir para redimensionar o conhecimento sobre o passado a fim de que esse conhecimento possa fazer sentido na vida dos sujeitos. Ancorado na teoria da complexidade, no paradigma indiciário e na ideia de rede do conhecimento, busca-se discutir as relações entre o saber narrativo e a educação, destacando alguns estudos realizados nessa área, sobretudo, os do psicólogo norte-americano Jerome Bruner, que analisa a narrativa sob o aspecto do desenvolvimento cognitivo e discute o papel que ela assumiu na evolução da cultura humana. Como exercício de reflexão sobre o papel da narrativa na construção do conhecimento, o filme Narradores de Javé (2003) é aqui utilizado.This paper discusses the potential of narrative in the process of knowledge construction, especially of historical knowledge. The narrativist character of history shows that from its origin the historical knowledge was already associated with the idea of narrative and the consequences of this association are discussed here. Based on the principle that the process of knowledge construction is effective within a network of relationships, this dissertation examines how narrative knowledge can contribute to resize the knowledge about the past so that this knowledge may make sense in peoples lives. Anchored on complexity theory, on the evidential paradigm and on the idea of knowledge network we seek to understand the relationships between narrative knowledge and education, highlighting some studies in this area, especially those of the American psychologist Jerome Bruner, who analyzes the narrative from the standpoint of cognitive development and discusses the role it has assumed in the evolution of human culture. As an exercise of reflection on the role of narrative in the construction of knowledge the movie Narradores de Javé (2003) is used here.

Full textAbstract:
This research describes information behaviour in context: experiences of serendipity in research. The study contributes to the understanding of serendipity as a complex phenomenon by looking at process in serendipity through a relational, phenomenological and sociological lens. The research asks: what linked events of doing and happening do people recount when they talk about their experiences of serendipity? and, how do they make sense of the circumstances surrounding these events? The research investigates a sample of fty rst-person narratives of lived experiences of serendipity recounted in the Citation Classics online dataset. A mixed methods parallel conversion design operationalises the research: one strand of the study focuses on description of contextual data, the other, on descriptions of two di erent event structure models. To meet its descriptive aims, the research draws on multiple methods: narrative approaches, network analysis and statistical techniques, including network topology inference and motif detection. A descriptive pro le of process in serendipity, a portfolio, which collects the network drawings and data for the one hundred event structures modelled by the study, and a research credibility audit stand as the study's substantive outcomes. The research fi ndings make a four-fold contribution to serendipity theory: they provide new insight into experiences of process in serendipity; add concrete, precise detail to fuzzy, abstract processrelated serendipity constructs; highlight problems with existing theoretical assumptions; and present evidence for normality in serendipity. Methodologically, the research opens alternative avenues into serendipity's complexity and brings fresh perspectives to the practice of serendipity research.

Iannarino, Nicholas Thomas. "Social Support in Young Adult Cancer Survivors and Their Close Social Network Members." UKnowledge, 2014. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/comm_etds/27.
Full textAbstract:
A cancer diagnosis often causes biographical disruption in the lives of young adult (i.e., 18-39; YA) survivors and their close social network members (i.e., familial, plutonic, or romantic relational partners with whom the survivor has a salient relationship; SNM). In order to integrate their illness into their lives, normatively regain balance and equilibrium, and achieve a “new normal” following a cancer diagnosis, YA survivors and their close SNMs must work to reconstruct their biographies by engaging in tangible interpersonal communication processes often used to initiate and maintain relationships. However, YA cancer survivors report facing social struggles due to the biographical disruption of their illness across the trajectory of diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.
To learn more about their unique social experience of cancer, I conducted private, open-ended narrative interviews with 20 YA survivor-close SNM dyads, 1 YA survivor-SNM close triad, and 10 individual YA survivors (N = 51). I used thematic narrative analysis to determine how and why YA cancer survivors and their close SNMs communicate social support messages with romantic partners, family, friends, peers, and one another. By examining the narratives of YA survivors, their close SNMs, and the dyad itself, this dissertation explores the interpersonal communication processes used to initiate and maintain relationships across the illness trajectory by focusing on the barriers and facilitators these individuals experience in the communication of social support.
Through their individual narrative accounts, YA survivors explained why and how they perceived various support attempts from others to be positive or negative, and their close SNMs detailed their attempts to navigate the YA’s larger support network and assume the duties inherent in their newly-adopted “top supporter” role. In addition, reports from YAs and their SNMs revealed that they often engaged in mutual pretense, a unique and often unsustainable form of support that occurred between YA survivors and their close SNMs involving topic avoidance and emotional management. Implications for the advancement of interpersonal communication theory and for practical intervention targeting YA patients and survivors, their close SNMs, and medical practitioners are also discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In 1990, the Institute for Historical and Socio-Political Studies of the Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party was closed, since the Party was dissolved by the Romanian Revolution. Similar institutions had existed in all countries belonging to the Soviet bloc. This Institute was founded in 1951 under the name of the Party History Institute, and modelled on the Marx-Lenin-Engels Institute in Moscow. Since then, it served the Communist Party in producing thousands of books and journals on the history of the Party and of Romania, following Party orders. Previous research has portrayed the Institute as a loyal executioner of the Party’s will, negating the agency of its history-writers in influencing the duties of the Institute. However, the recent opening of the Institute’s archive has shown that a number of internal and previously obscured dynamics impacted on its activities. This book is dedicated to the study of the Party History Institute, of the history-writers employed there, and of the narratives they produced. By studying the history-writers and their host institution, this study re-contextualizes the historiography produced under Communist rule by analysing the actual conditions under which it was written: the interrelation between dynamics of control and the struggle for resources, power and positions play a fundamental role in this history. This is the first scholarly inquiry about a highly controversial institute that struggled in order to follow the constantly shifting Party narrative canon, while competing formaterial resources with rival Party and academic institutions. The main actors in this study are the history-writers: Party veterans, young propagandists and educated historians, in conflicting networks and groups, struggled in order to gain access to the limited resources and positions provided by the Party, and in order to survive the political changes imposed by the leadership. By doing so they succeed, on many occasions, to influence the activities of the Institute.

Full textAbstract:
Human interaction with technical artifacts is often mediated by treating them as if they are alive. We exclaim "my car doesn't want to start," or "my computer loves to crash." Of increasing cultural importance are software systems designed explicitly to perform tasks and/or exhibit complex behaviors usually deemed as intentional human phenomena, including creating, improvising, and learning. Compared to the instrumental programs (e.g., Adobe Photoshop), these intentional systems (e.g., George Lewis' musical system Voyager) seem to produce output that is "about" certain things in the world rather than the mere execution of algorithmic rules. This dissertation investigates such phenomena with two central research questions: (1) How is system intentionality formed? and (2) What are the design implications for building systems that utilize such intentionality as an expressive resource.
In the discourse of artificial intelligence (AI) practice, system intentionality is typically seen as a technical and ontological property of a computer program, emerging from its underlying algorithms and knowledge engineering. Distilling from the areas of hermeneutics, actor-network theory, cognitive semantics theory, and philosophy of mind, this dissertation proposes a humanistic and interpretive framework called the AI hermeneutic network. It accentuates that system intentionality is narrated and interpreted by its human creators and users in their socio-cultural settings. Special attention is paid to system authors' discursive strategies, a constitutive component of AI, embedded in their source code and technical literature. The utility of the framework is demonstrated by a close analytical reading of a full-scale AI system, Copycat.
The theoretical discovery leads to new design strategies, namely scale of intentionality and agency play. They provide insights for using system intentionality and agency as expressive resources that can be used to convey meanings and express ideas. The fruits of these insights are illustrated by a stream of consciousness literature inspired interactive narrative project Memory, Reverie Machine, co-developed using Harrell's GRIOT system. It portrays a protagonist whose intentionality and agency vary dynamically in service of narrative needs.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to use stories from three people who previously lived in homelessness to increase the knowledge of the social network's impact on the process of exiting homelessness. In order to answer our questions, whether the social network facilitated or hindered the way out of homelessness, we have used a narrative method to take advantage of these person's life stories. As a theoretical perspective, we used the ecology of human development, based on the idea that human development occurs in interaction with their environment at different levels. Results showed those interviewees' networks had a significant impact on their path out of homelessness and that these relationships both facilitated and hindered this process. At the same time, these relationships affected our interviewees in different ways and were found in various areas of life, which indicates that there is more than one way out of homelessness. However, common patterns emerged in these stories that said that the relationships facilitated consisted of those who have supported and encouraged our interviewees in their way out of homelessness. While hindering relations consisted of those who disbelieved in the interviewees abilities and not supported when needed most.

Full textAbstract:
This literature review examines the default mode network (DMN) and how its role in self related processing and narrative selfhood relates to well-being. The essay explores the DMN in three levels of activity: Firstly in normal function, where mind-wandering is positively correlated with dissatisfaction; Secondly its abnormal function in depression, characterized by excessive activity and rumination; Thirdly in its arguably improved function during mindfulness and meditation, where lower activity is associated with higher well-being, decreased mind-wandering and altered sense of self. The essay shows a relationship between the DMN and well-being, where higher activity correlates with lower well-being.

Full textAbstract:
This study concerns school reform in Malta. Under the policy framework ‘For All Children to Succeed’ (Ministry of Education, Youth & Employment, 2005) [henceforth referred to as FACT], Maltese state schools embarked on the process of being organized into networks called ‘colleges’. These consisted of primary and secondary schools according to geographical location, under the leadership of the Principal – a newly-designated role hierarchically above that of the individual Heads of School. The purpose of my research is to explore relations of power in a Maltese college. My study gives prominence to both theory and methodology. The theoretical research question investigates how networking unfolds among the various leadership hierarchies in school governance in a Maltese college. This is explored through the performance of policy-mandated collegiality; the circulating relations of power; and leadership distribution. My study is framed within a postmodern paradigm and adopts a Foucauldian theoretical framework, more specifically his concepts of power, discipline, governmentality, discourse, and subjectification. Data for my case study are collected through semi-structured, in-depth interviews; observation of a Council of Heads meeting; and a documentary analysis of FACT. Narrative is not only the phenomenon under exploration, but also the method of analysis, and mode of representation. Thus, I attempt to answer my methodological research question that investigates the ways a researcher negotiates the methodological tensions and contradictions in the conduct of qualitative inquiry in order to construct knowledge differently. The Maltese college is viewed as a surveillance mechanism by both the Principal and the Heads, with collegiality being regarded as a straitjacket imposed by the State through a policy mandate. However, there is unanimous agreement on conscription being the only way forward for Maltese state schools. Different degrees of ‘support’ and empowerment exist, according to the directives of the Principal and the State. College setup is problematized on geographical clustering and college streaming, due to which it may end up defying the primary aim of networking by clustering students from particular areas in isolation, resulting in social injustice and educational inequality. This study exposes a strong sense of sectoral isolation among the Heads – a situation being mirrored at macro-level with very few opportunities for inter-networking among colleges. There is an asymmetrical power flow among the college schools, both within the same level and across different levels. Despite the policy FACT mandating distributed leadership, hierarchical forms of accountability are still inherent within the system, bringing out a tension between autonomy and centralization.

Schwab, Hallie E. "Social and Emotional Dimensions of Succession Planning for Family Forest Owners in the Northeastern United States." ScholarWorks @ UVM, 2017. http://scholarworks.uvm.edu/graddis/760.
Full textAbstract:
Keeping forestland intact has emerged as a critical policy objective at state and federal levels. This target has been supported by substantial public investment. The collective impact from the bequest decisions of millions of landowning individuals and families has the potential to affect the extent and functionality of future forests in the United States. Despite a growing body of research devoted to studying these transitions in forest ownership, much remains unknown about how family forest owners make decisions in this arena. The social and emotional dimensions of woodland succession planning have been particularly under-examined. This thesis explores the process of planning for the future use and ownership of woodlands through in-depth analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews with family forest owners in Massachusetts, Maine, New York, and Vermont. The first article investigates how family forest owners evaluate and integrate stories derived from their social networks when planning for the future of their woodlands. Analysis of the themes contained in stories framed as “cautionary tales” revealed common fears surrounding succession planning. The second article explores the complexity of emotional relationships with family forests showing how emotional geographies manifest in the succession planning process. Together, these studies deepen understanding of how family forest owners plan for the future of private woodlands and offer implications for Extension and outreach.

Full textAbstract:
Au début du XXIe siècle émerge en Espagne un mouvement littéraire qu’on appelle « mutant » et qui annonce la fin du paradigme postmoderne. Cette étude se centre sur l’écriture narrative de Jorge Carrión, Agustín Fernández Mallo et Vicente Luis Mora : figures représentatives de ce phénomène, ils jettent les bases d’une poétique mutante, à travers des œuvres singulières, rendant compte des transformations culturelles à l’époque contemporaine. Les nouvelles technologies et les médias récents sont des outils narratifs récurrents dans leurs textes, mais ils fournissent également un modèle d’organisation aussi bien générationnelle que textuelle, ou encore médiatique, qui pourrait être désigné comme le réseau mutant. La thèse se donne pour objet de montrer que la poétique de ces auteurs se construit à travers des relations réticulaires qui se tissent entre les personnes, entre les œuvres et entre les perspectives théoriques que ces écrivains explorent. À l’époque de l’expansion narrative, il faut chercher l’unité dans les nœuds et les liens qui assemblent les pièces, les lieux, les genres, les moyens de communication et de diffusion, etc. Les transformations auxquelles est soumise l’esthétique de la postmodernité dans les textes mutants pointent l’avènement d’une ère nouvelle, celle du postnumérique, époque dans laquelle la tension entre l’écriture et la technologie est mise au service d’une création littéraire hybrideAt the beginning of the 21st century, a new literary movement, called “mutant”, appears in Spain, thus announcing the end of the postmodern paradigm. The present research study focuses on the narrative of Jorge Carrión, Agustín Fernández Mallo and Vicente Luis Mora. These three significant figures attempt to lay the ground for a mutant poetics, by creating literary works which point out the cultural changes that are taking place in our contemporary world. They use the new technologies and media as narrative tools, as well as a model for their organisation as a generation and for the organisation of their texts, in interaction with other platforms. One may therefore speak of a mutant network. The purpose of this dissertation is to indicate that these authors’ poetics is built through reticular relations between people, between works and theories. In this time of narrative expansion, one must search for unity in the nodes and the links which bind the pieces, the places, the literary genres, the means of communication and transmission, etc. In the mutant texts, the postmodern aesthetic is transformed, thus indicating a new cultural turn, the post-digital era, where the tension between writing and technology is used to create hybrid literary works

Full textAbstract:
Does our cultural background colour our perception of nature? And if so, can it be seen when asked about early childhood memories? These were some of the starting questions I was pondering over after a walk in the forest with 5 women from different continents. Even if we were about same age, it was quite clear that what we saw and how we perceived the surroundings differed. At this time, I got a book written by Bruno Latour and as his thought was intriguing, I wanted to test my understanding of his actor-network theory and search for traits that could explain the difference in our perception by following his advice. This was not as easy as it seemed. My material is based on interviews with three women in their 60´s and early 70´s done during October 2018. They told about their early childhood memory of nature. I used this material to follow the connections back in time and between actors of importance in their environs. I could also find trails that followed them until this day. I have also discussed different aspects of the use of narrative as a tool to make the reality understandable for the individual. How interpretation evolves during life to maintain the importance of one’s life in time and space. Words have the ability to imbed events in a bigger narrative and in that way let things be remembered for the future. How we react to events do depend on both cultural and biological factors and our interpretation of the situation is something that may have duration during our whole life. A tiny thing such as a blueberry can have a huge importance as one of the women told me. I found that a simple question revealed an astonishing amount of information that could be tracked down in time. Cultural tradition could be seen, and trails of family history were observable. Also, nature preferences turned out to have been established early. All three talked about the importance of their type of nature throughout their life, but what they preferred differed. What one of the women found preferable was totally indifferent for one of the others and the source was to be found in these important childhood memories. I have used research from several scientific disciplines and authors as Latour, Bell, Ellen, Frykman, Daun, Saltzman, Ulrich, Kaplan and others. The point of departure is ethnology, but other areas are visited during this study due to the fact that, as I argue, everything is connected, following Bruno Latour in his actor-network theory.

Full textAbstract:
Seit Jahren lässt sich in Deutschland und Italien eine Zunahme des Biolebensmittelkonsums beobachten. Die Ursachen für diesen Anstieg werden in den meisten Analysen auf rationales Entscheidungsverhalten oder wissensbasierte Ansätze zurückgeführt. In dieser Arbeit wird hingegen von komplexen, wechselseitigen Zusammenhänge zwischen Handlungen auf individueller sowie kollektiver Ebene und der medialen Berichterstattung ausgegangen: Die gesamtgesellschaftliche und die individuelle Ebene sind durch die mediale Berichterstattung, hier insbesondere durch die Lebensmittelskandale, wechselseitig miteinander verknüpft, indem sie das Naturverhältnis und somit das Konsumverhalten in Bezug auf Essen öffentlich konstruieren. Das gesellschaftliche Naturverhältnis ist auf der einen Seite von sozialen Strukturen und auf der anderen Seite von kulturellen Vorlieben, die zusammen einen bestimmten ‚way of life’ ergeben, abhängig. Diese Annahme geht auf die Cultural Theory von Mary Douglas zurück. Um das Modell zu flexibilisieren und der Komplexität moderner Gesellschaften Rechnung zu tragen wurde der Gruppenbegriff der Cultural Theory in dieser Arbeit durch das Konzept der Netzwerke ersetzt. Aus Sicht der Netzwerkanalyse kann die soziale Umwelt als Muster von Beziehungen zwischen interagierenden Einheiten betrachtet werden. Die sogenannte phänomenologische Netzwerktheorie von Harrison White schenkt dabei aber nicht nur der das Individuum umgebenden Netzwerkstruktur Aufmerksamkeit, sondern auch der phänomenologischen Ebene von symbolischen Deutungsmustern und Praktiken. Durch die Berichterstattung in den Medien entstehen Koppelungen von Naturbildern, die erwarten lassen, dass sich auf der Mikroebene der VerbraucherInnen neue Anschlussmöglichkeiten für ihre Konsumentscheidungen ergeben, die die Grenzen des Biodiskurses über die engen Grenzen einer egalitaristischen ‚alternativen‘ Lebensform hinausschieben helfen. Aus diesem theoretischen Rahmen lässt sich die These der Arbeit ableiten, dass Biolebensmittel nicht mehr nur in den kreisförmigen/egalitären Netzwerken konsumiert werden, sondern der Biolebensmittelkonsum diese Grenzen über sogenannte ‚broker‘ durchbrochen hat. Dadurch wird er zunehmend auch in anderen Netzwerktypen (hierarchisch, sternförmig/indvidualistisch) praktiziert. Je institutionalisierter diese broker sind, um so schneller ist die Verbreitung des Biolebensmittelkonsums. Die These wird anhand einer Netzwerktextanalyse von Lebensmittelskandalen in Deutschland und Italien überprüft.For many years there has been a rise in the consumption of organic food in Germany and Italy. The causes for this increase are usually illustrated by rational choice theories or knowledge-based approaches. In this research, however, it is assumed that the increase in consumption is based on a complex and reciprocal connection between an action on either an individual level and/or societal level and coverage in the media. The individual and societal levels are interlinked and influence each other while being externally influenced by news coverage, especially food scandals reported in the media, publicly constructing the relationship with nature and behaviour patterns in relation to food consumption. The societal relationship with nature is conditioned, on the one hand, by social structure and by cultural biases on the other, which form together a certain "way of life". These assumptions are based on the Cultural Theory by Mary Douglas. To better cope with the complexity of modern societies and to make the model by Mary Douglas more flexible, the concept of groups has been replaced by the concept of networks. In the perspective of network analysis, the societal environment can be seen as a pattern of relations between interacting entities. Thus the so-called Phenomenological Network Theory by Harrison White pays attention not only to the network structures, but also the phenomenological level of symbolic interpretative patterns and practices. When mass media platforms are coupled with images of nature which are expected to rise on the individual level, provide new connection opportunities for consumers and influence their decision making regarding consumption. These connections transcend the boundaries of egalitarian, ''alternative'' lifestyles. Following this theoretical framework, it can be derived that organic food is no longer consumed only in egalitarian networks, but has also crossed the boundaries into other network types via so-called ‚brokers‘ and is increasingly practiced in these other networks. The more institutionalized the "brokers" are, the faster the spread of organic food consumption becomes. These assumptions are empirically tested on the basis of Network Text Analysis of food scandals in the mass media in Germany and Italy.

Esta dissertação tem como foco central a investigação acerca das narrativas visuais produzidas por câmeras celulares e veiculadas nas redes sociais, particularmente no Instagram. Explora como a tecnologia dos dispositivos móveis, somada ao movimento do corpo e do olho, contribui para uma nova estética de produção de imagens do cotidiano. O estudo tem como contexto a cidade de São Paulo e também explora as novas formas de documentar e de se relacionar com o espaço urbano, a partir da produção e veiculação de imagens na internet. A pesquisa se concentra no viés poético das imagens produzidas, mediadas e veiculadas no Instagram e investigará o contexto e a natureza das imagens das redes sociais, que se apresentam de forma fragmentada, em um processo de publicação contínuo, em um scroll vertical infinito, na tela do usuário do aplicativo. Explorará as possibilidades de construção de linguagem, na chave da artemídia, e seus respectivos atributos tecnológicos e estéticos. Investigará paralelamente como se dá a edição e subjetivação dessas narrativas, construídas em tempo real, indagando qual o papel do autor, do curador e do editor quando o processo se torna colaborativo. A imagem mobile será pensada por meio de imagens, a partir de um ensaio autoral: uma compilação de narrativas reunidas no caderno Imageria urbana, realizadas com imagens mobile a partir de apropriações e edições coletivas ou individuais, organizadas pelos tagueamentos de dados algorítmicos, pelos sinais \"#\" (hashtags precedidas da palavra-chave) e por pins de geolocalização. Essa publicação constitui simultaneamente o objeto de estudo teórico e prático desta pesquisa e representa alguns lugares da cidade de São Paulo por meio da estética de dados. A partir desse material -- e suas imbricações interdisciplinares -- oferecemos os subsídios teóricos para aprofundarmos na linguagem poética das narrativas visuais das redes.This dissertation aims at investigating visual narratives produced by mobile cameras and posted on social networks, specifically Instagram. Exploring how mobile device technology, coupled with the movement of body and eye, contributes to new aesthetic of production on everyday imaging. The city of São Paulo comes as the study\'s context and explores new ways to register and to relate to the urban space stemming from the production and posting of images online. The research focuses on poetic bias of the produced images mediated and shown on Instagram and investigates the context and nature of the images on social networks, which are presented in a piecemeal fashion, in a continuous process of posting through endless vertical scroll on the app\'s user screen. The work will explore the possibilities of language construction from artmedia point of view, and its respective technological and aesthetic attributes. In addition, it will investigate how editing and subjectivity of these narratives take place, built in real time, inquiring the role of the author, of the curator and of the editor when the process becomes collaborative. The mobile image will have images brought through an authorial essay; a compilation of narratives gathered in the notebook Urban Imagery, made with mobile images from collective or individual publications and appropriations, organized from algorithm data tagging by the \"#\" (hashtag preceded by keyword) and pins of geolocation. Such publication is both the theoretical and practical object of this research study and represents some places of the city of São Paulo through the data aesthetics. From this material -- and its interdisciplinary overlaps -- we provide the theoretical basis to deepen into the poetic language in visual narratives of networks.

A centralidade da cibercultura na contemporaneidade manifesta-se não apenas na potencialidade dos dispositivos tecnológicos no cotidiano, mas também em sua dimensão social, cultural e epistemológica como formação discursiva. Nesta tese propomos uma análise crítica das narrativas ciberculturais, práticas midiáticas cristalizadas nas tramas convergentes da comunicação, da cultura e da tecnologia na sociedade contemporânea. Tais narrativas são investigadas em seus componentes de articulação discursiva e processos de agenciamento atrelados a representações da técnica, configurando diferentes tipos de narrativas representativas do imaginário da cibercultura, organizadas em torno de complexos exploratórios e ontológicos da narrativa. Tais dimensões técnicas, éticas e estéticas das narrativas ciberculturais promovem geometrias e poéticas diferenciadas, evidenciando um continuum dos diversos modos de narratividade, dando mais ou menos espaço ao interator, permitindo a segmentação de crenças e a cristalização de imaginários.The centrality of cyberculture nowadays manifests itself not only through the potential of technological devices, but also in its social, cultural and epistemological dimension, as a discursive formation. In this thesis we propose a critical analysis of cibercultural narratives, media practices in converging communication, culture and technology frames in contemporary society. Such narratives are investigated through their discursive components and agency processes linked to certain technical representations that configure different types of narratives representing the imaginary of cyberspace, organized around exploration and ontological narrative complexes. Such technical, ethical and aesthetic dimensions of cibercultural narratives promote different geometries and poetics of these narratives, in a continuum of different modes of narration, giving more or less space to the interactor, allowing targeting of beliefs and the cristalization of imaginaries

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines American teen dramas on Australian television in the period 1992 to 2004. It explores the use of the genre by broadcasters and its uptake by teenagers in an environment where American popular culture has frequently been treated with suspicion and where there are perennial arguments about the Americanisation of youth and their vulnerability to cultural imperialism. The thesis argues concerns about Americanisation and cultural imperialism in relation to youth culture, young people and the media are misplaced. American teen dramas are investigated as an example of the ways imported programs are made to cohere with national logics within the Australian mediasphere (Hartley, 1996). Utilising Yuri Lotman's (1990) theory of cultural 'translation' this thesis argues teen drams are evidence of dynamic change within the system of television and that this change does not result in a system dominated by imported product, but rather a system that situates foreign programming amongst domestic frames of reference.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgicoO estudo da memÃria e da narrativa e de sua relaÃÃo com a produÃÃo e o consumo de imagens mostra-se um caminho desafiador, sobretudo na contemporaneidade, quando tentamos compreender esses processos nos ambientes digitais. A fotografia opera nos processos de significaÃÃo, isto Ã, nos significados que os sujeitos conferem a um dado acontecimento, no modo como eventos e pessoas sÃo lembrados, contados e compreendidos. Em especial, a fotografia digital produzida para ser compartilhada online introduz um campo de problemas interessantes para investigaÃÃo dos processos de memÃria e narraÃÃo autobiogrÃficas. Este estudo propÃe analisar como as fotografias compartilhadas no Facebook atuam sobre a produÃÃo de memÃrias autobiogrÃficas, com efeitos, portanto, sobre atuais formas de narraÃÃo de si. Em outras palavras, procuramos entender como as novas formas digitais de produzir imagens (principalmente aquelas produzidas para serem compartilhadas) operam na forma como os usuÃrios constroem suas lembranÃas do vivido, articulando as relaÃÃes entre passado, presente e futuro a partir das imagens midiatizadas. AlÃm disso, investigamos como essas novas maneiras de âguardarâ a memÃria atuam sobre a criaÃÃo das atuais narrativas autobiogrÃficas, isto Ã, as histÃrias que as pessoas contam sobre si mesmas. Esta pesquisa apoia-se nos estudos de memÃria, narrativa e novas mÃdias de Van Dijck , Brockmeier e Sibilia, e em Dubois e Samain no que se refere à natureza, ao funcionamento e à anÃlise da fotografia. O estudo qualitativo consistiu em duas etapas: 1) aplicaÃÃo do questionÃrio semi-estruturado com temas sobre fotografia e memÃria; 2) codificaÃÃo e anÃlise das fotografias disponibilizadas para a pesquisa, selecionadas pelos respondentes. O convite à participaÃÃo se deu no prÃprio Facebook. Identificamos os fatores que contribuem para o processo de escolha da imagem compartilhada e os processos individuais e sociais que circunscrevem as prÃticas de produÃÃo e compartilhamento da fotografia digital, procurando estabelecer uma relaÃÃo entre a produÃÃo de memÃria e as autonarrativas.
The study of memory and narrative and its relation with the production and consumption of images has shown a challenging course, especially nowadays, when we try to understand these processes in digital environments. The photo operates in the processes of meaning attribution, that is, the meanings that subjects give to a certain event, in how people and events are remembered, narrated and understood. In particular, the digital photograph produced in order to be shared online introduces an interesting field of research of both and autobiographical memory and narration. This study proposes to analyze the photos shared on Facebook that play on the autobiographical memories, with effect therefore on current forms of self-narration. In other words, we try to understand how the new digital ways of producing images (especially those produced to be shared) operate in the way users build their memories of a lived moment, articulating the past, present and future from the mediatized images. In addition, we investigate how these new ways of "saving" memory influence the creation of current autobiographical narratives, that is, the stories that people tell about themselves. The qualitative study consisted in two stages: 1) application of semi-structured questionnaire with topics about photography and memory; 2) coding and analysis of the photographs available for research, selected by respondents. The invitation to participate was given on Facebook. We identified the factors that contributed to the process of choosing the shared images, as well as the individual and social processes that circumscribe the practices of production of digital photography sharing, with the intention of establishing a relationship between the production of memory and self-narratives.

In this thesis I examine the enactment of schizophrenias. Drawing on Olempirical data I~how how schizophrenia is n0y§ingular disorder but is a multiple entity that is not simply reducible to its clinical features. I use an ethnographic approach to show how schizophrenia is locally enacted by patients, relatives and carers and by the psychiatrists, the inpatient ward and by the various community-based mental health teams. Following the work of the psychiatric historian German Berrios I argue that, in part, schizophrenia is also enacted through the definitions of prominent continental psychiatrists of the late 19th and the first part of the 20th century and argue that their work is made present through the current, tenth, edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD 10). I use an empirical example to show how, in practice, the ICD is made to work by using 'garbage categories' to satisfy the bureaucratic demands of the National Health Service.

Carpenter, J. R. "Writing coastlines : locating narrative resonance in transatlantic communications networks." Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2015. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/7825/.
Full textAbstract:
The term ‘writing coastlines’ implies a double meaning. The word ‘writing’ refers both to the act of writing and to that which is written. The act of writing translates aural, physical, mental and digital processes into marks, actions, utterances, and speech-acts. The intelligibility of that which is written is intertwined with both the context of its production and of its consumption. The term ‘writing coastlines’ may refer to writing about coastlines, but the coastlines themselves are also writing in so far as they are translating physical processes into marks and actions. Coastlines are the shifting terrains where land and water meet, always neither land nor water and always both. The physical processes enacted by waves and winds may result in marks and actions associated with both erosion and accretion. Writing coastlines are edges, ledges, legible lines caught in the double bind of simultaneously writing and erasing. These in-between places are liminal spaces – points of both departure and arrival, and sites of exchange. One coastline implies another, implores a far shore. The dialogue implied by this entreaty intrigues me. The coastlines of the United Kingdom and those of Atlantic Canada are separated by three and a half thousand kilometres of ocean. Yet for centuries, fishers, sailors, explorers, migrants, emigrants, merchants, messengers, messages, packets, ships, submarine cables, aeroplanes, satellite signals and wireless radio waves have attempted to bridge this distance. These comings and goings have left traces. Generations of transatlantic migrations have engendered networks of communications. As narratives of place and displacement travel across, beyond, and through these networks, they become informed by the networks’ structures and inflected with the syntax and grammar of the networks’ code languages. Writing coastlines interrogates this in-between space with a series of questions: When does leaving end and arriving begin? When does the emigrant become the immigrant? What happens between call and response? What narratives resonate in the spaces between places separated by time, distance, and ocean yet inextricably linked by generations of immigration? This thesis takes an overtly interdisciplinary approach to answering these questions. This practice-led research refers to and infers from the corpora and associated histories, institutions, theoretical frameworks, modes of production, venues, and audiences of the visual, media, performance, and literary arts, as well as from the traditionally more scientific realms of cartography, navigation, network archaeology, and creative computing. Writing Coastlines navigates the emerging and occasionally diverging theoretical terrains of electronic literature, locative narrative, media archaeology, and networked art through the methodology of performance writing pioneered at Dartington College of Art (Bergvall 1996, Hall 2008). Central to this methodology is an iterative approach to writing, which interrogates the performance of writing in and across contexts toward an extended compositional process. Writing Coastlines will contribute to a theoretical framework and methodology for the creation and dissemination of networked narrative structures for stories of place and displacement that resonate between sites, confusing and confounding boundaries between physical and digital, code and narrative, past and future, home and away. Writing Coastlines will contribute to the creation of a new narrative context from which to examine a multi-site-specific place-based identity by extending the performance writing methodology to incorporate digital literature and locative narrative practices, by producing and publicly presenting a significant body of creative and critical work, and by developing a mode of critical writing which intertwines practice with theory.

Full textAbstract:
Sob a ótica da Psicologia Social, esta pesquisa de mestrado compreende a migração como um fenômeno social, com fatores históricos e políticos a serem analisados. Assim, o estudo de alguns aspectos da formação social do Brasil e as transformações do mercado de trabalho desde o período colonial é central para se compreender os deslocamentos de parte da população. A busca por sobrevivência e melhores condições de vida levam contingentes populacionais a migrarem, o que, tantas vezes, culmina em mais pobreza, processos de desenraizamento, discriminações e à uma vida também precária na \"cidade grande\". Deste modo, aos migrantes \"pobres\", marginalizados socialmente, desprotegidos pelo Estado e privados de seus direitos, resta a luta pela sobrevivência e a criação de mecanismos de enfrentamento próprios. Partindo destas questões, o presente estudo tem como objetivo: descrever as razões atribuídas por migrantes incluídos marginalmente na cidade de São Paulo ao seu processo de migração e suas impressões acerca da vida nesta cidade; identificar as táticas cotidianas utilizadas por estes migrantes ao enfrentar a situação de pobreza; as redes sociais que procuram neste enfrentamento; e como os equipamentos públicos comparecem nessa busca. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir de narrativas sobre a história de vida de cinco migrantes que vivem em uma região periférica da Zona Sul da cidade de São Paulo. Estas narrativas foram analisadas como testemunhos de sujeitos que contam, além de sua própria história e de outros, aspectos da formação da cidade de São Paulo e da história social do nosso país. Todos os participantes nasceram em zonas rurais do Nordeste, onde viviam em situação de extrema pobreza, com falta de recursos, exploração de trabalho e privação de direitos. A vinda para São Paulo é vista, antes de migrarem, como um progresso, como uma chance de ascensão social por meio do trabalho e de poder conduzir a própria vida sem ser conduzido por ela. Porém, quando chegam, a realidade na nova cidade é outra e a situação de pobreza continua. Não há espaço nas casas, não há espaço para eles. Trabalhos, quando surgem, são, na maioria das vezes, em situação de precariedade, com salários insuficientes para viver na cidade, com dificuldades até de garantir os mínimos da sobrevivência. Há ausência do Estado na garantia mínima de direitos a essas pessoas tanto na \"roça\", quanto na \"cidade grande\". Nas narrativas, muitas vezes, a pobreza aparece como um \"fracasso pessoal\", como um \"defeito\" do indivíduo, neutralizando, assim, os contextos históricos, sociais, políticos e econômicos de construção desta pobreza no Brasil. Sem ter seus direitos assegurados, estes migrantes precisam encontrar maneiras de \"se virar\" na cidade para tentar garantir algumas condições básicas de vida e, quem sabe, alguns destes direitos. Assim, inventam táticas astuciosas para enfrentar a situação de pobreza, sendo uma delas a busca por redes sociais de apoio. Os equipamentos públicos quase não aparecem nestas procuras por redes sociais. As rendas oriundas de alguns programas governamentais, quando existem, são pouco divulgadas, exigindo que enfrentem grandes adversidades para conseguí-las. A visão imbuída de preconceitos sobre o migrante aponta uma passividade, que não foi possível observar no presente estudo: estão em luta constante, em um contexto de privação de condições mínimas de sobrevivência. Como, enfim, trazer estas \"lutas\" para a linguagem dos direitos? Como transformá-las em atos políticos?From the perspective of Social Psychology, this research comprises the migration as a social phenomenon, with historical and political factors to be analyzed. Thus, the study of some aspects of the social formation of Brazil and the transformations in the labour market since the colonial period is central to understanding the movements of part of the population. The quest for survival and better living conditions lead population quotas to migrate, often culminating in more poverty, processes of roots loss, discrimination and to an also precarious life in the big city. In this way, to the poor, socially marginalized migrants, unprotected by the State and deprived of their rights, remains the struggle for survival and the creation of self defense mechanisms. Based on these questions, the present study has as objective: to describe the reasons assigned for migrants marginally included in the city of São Paulo to their migration process and their impressions of life in this city; to identify the everyday tactics used by these migrants to address the situation of poverty; social networks to which they resort for this fight; and how the public facilities contribute in this quest. The survey was conducted from narratives about the life story of five migrants living in a peripheral region in the South Zone of the São Paulo city. These narratives were analyzed as testimonies of subjects that describe, in addition to its own history and of others, aspects of the formation of the city of São Paulo and the social history of our country. All participants were born in rural areas of the Northeast, where they lived in a situation of extreme poverty, with lack of resources, work exploitation and deprivation of rights. Coming to São Paulo is seen, before migrating, as progress, as a chance to social ascending through their work and the possibility of leading their lives without being driven by it. However, when they arrive, the reality in the new town is another and the situation of poverty continues. There is no space in the houses, there is no room for them. Jobs, whenever they come up, are, for the most part, precarious, with wages insufficient to live in the city, with difficulties to ensure the minimum of survival. There is absence of the State in a minimum of guarantees to the rights of these people both on the farm and in the big city. Quite often, in their narratives, poverty appears as a personal failure, as a defect of the individual, thus neutralizing the historical, social, political and economical contexts of the construction of this poverty in Brazil. Without having their rights assured, these migrants must find ways to get along in the city trying to ensure some basic living conditions and, who knows, some of these rights. Thus, they invent cunning tactics to address the situation of poverty, one being the search for social support networks. The public facilities almost do not appear in their description of their search for social support networks. Revenues from some government programs, when available, are poorly advertised, requiring them to face great adversity to attain those. The vision imbued with prejudices about the migrant indicates a passive atitude, that has not been possible to observe in this study: they are in a constant struggle, in a context of deprivation of minimum conditions for survival. How to bring these \"struggles\" to the language of rights? How to turn them into political acts?

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this multi-disciplinary research was to explore the power of digital, interactive or participatory storytelling to influence human behaviour in the context of public health. It addressed three related questions: RQ1: Does digital storytelling have the power to influence human behaviour? RQ2: If digital storytelling can influence human behaviour then how might it do so? RQ3: Is a ‘digital storytelling framework’ feasible as an approach to behaviour change? Four linked qualitative studies were conducted: a scoping review, in-depth interviews with 11 international ‘digital storytellers’, two case studies of ‘digital storytelling designed to influence human behaviour’ and six focus groups with 35 adolescent ‘digital story participants’. The research found that: RA1: Digital storytelling appears to influence human behaviour. RA2: Digital storytelling appears to influence by engaging at ever deepening emotional and non-conscious levels. Commerce appears to understand and embrace this power: But public health appears to rely on traditional uni-directional, non-participatory message led approaches and appeals to cognition. This presents threats and opportunities to public health. RA3: The proposed ‘digital storytelling framework’ is feasible and desirable as a behaviour change paradigm. The thesis concludes that Digital Storytelling appears to influence human behaviour. It appears to derive its power to influence by facilitating unprecedented depths of emotional engagement potentially en route to behaviour change. The current imbalance in how commerce and public health corral the power of digital storytelling suggests that the latter might embrace its potential; and tougher regulation might constrain how the former uses it to market harmful products. The proposed digital storytelling framework makes a valuable creative, analytical and critical contribution to both of these ends. Its core principles have informed the design of numerous story-led digital health interventions; and they now sit at the core of a counter-marketing campaign to reduce harmful effects of marketing on children’s health.

This study is an examination of mobilization processes, with a particular focus on how people come to contemplate and ultimately embrace or reject veganism. It is a response to social movements scholarship that has called for examinations of how identity interacts with mobilization. Engaging the narratives of 34 interview participants who interacted with vegan advocacy networks in Greater Philadelphia, the study accounts for how prospective vegans negotiate forces, such as social networks and ties, that activate or hinder their mobilization; and for how they prioritize veganism amid competing priorities. Among other manners, participants came to contemplate the prospect of becoming vegan upon recognizing veganism as congruent with their other priorities. Participants who became vegan were more likely than participants who did not to prioritize altruism and to seek information that motivated and empowered them. Rather than prioritize their veganism over competing priorities, the vegans more often sought to harmonize their veganism with competing priorities. The study also measures the capacity of people from socioeconomically and racially contrasting neighborhoods in Philadelphia to engage in a behavior and a movement such as veganism. Results from a sample of 335 survey participants suggest that people from impoverished neighborhoods may be less capable because they are less likely to know people who practice veganism. The study's findings suggest that participation in movements is contingent on how prospective participants prioritize, on the incentives with which they contemplate participation, and on their capacity to participate.

Full textAbstract:
A história mostra que a violência contra velhos não é um problema recente na sociedade. Em diversas culturas, por muitas gerações, os comportamentos violentos contra os velhos vêm se repetindo. Nos últimos anos, percebe-se movimentos da sociedade para fazer frente à esta problemática. Leis são elaboradas, manuais de enfrentamento são disponibilizados, mas ainda insuficientes para dar conta do sofrimento das famílias envolvidas nesse tipo de violência. Autores como Foucault, Elias e Scotson e Faleiros foram alguns dos consultados para dar suporte teórico ao trabalho de campo e, posterior análise. Ciente da complexidade desta questão, esta tese se propôs a ouvir os agressores, por entender que todos os lados devem ter a possibilidade de falar. Os estudos sobre violência até então têm pesquisado basicamente esta questão a partir das vítimas, ou de dados registrados em serviços públicos que servem de porta de entrada para que as denúncias ocorram. Assim, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é analisar os fatores que conduziram à violência contra as pessoas idosas através da perspectiva dos agressores, a fim de elaborar uma discussão que subsidie intervenções educativas no campo da violência. Para tal, tem-se como objetivos específicos a) conhecer as histórias da vida dos agressores de idosos; b) identificar os possíveis gatilhos que desencadearam as agressões; c) compreender os aspectos estruturais que possam ter relações com a prática da violência e d) oferecer elementos para intervenções educativas no campo da violência. Partindo dos objetivos propostos, optou-se por uma pesquisa exploratória, de caráter qualitativo, onde, através de narrativas, teve-se maior aproximação com as histórias das pessoas envolvidas. A amostra foi constituída por conveniência, sendo 5 mulheres e 3 homens, todos filhos, exceto um que era marido. Os resultados analisados a partir da Análise de Conteúdo proposta por Moraes foram organizados em duas grandes categorias, a saber: Multidimensionalidade da violência, subdividida em "Construção das relações familiares", "Consumo de drogas ilícitas e álcool" e "Desemprego", e a segunda categoria, nomeada de "Mecanismos Sociais de Atenção à Violência". Através do estudo, constatou-se que a maioria dos agressores é familiar muito próximo dos idosos, geralmente filhos e netos que, em geral, carregam as lembranças de terem sido vítimas de violência em outras fases das suas vidas. Os gatilhos para que a violência aconteça estão relacionados à desestrutura familiar, ao desemprego e ao consumo abusivo de álcool e/ou outros drogas ilícitas.Também identificou-se uma atuação precária dos mecanismos sociais de proteção aos idosos, que não conseguem garantir a segurança dos velhos. Além disso, ficam lacunas na prestação de um serviço realmente efetivo em decorrência de inúmeros fatores, mesmo quando contando com técnicos que possuam desejo para tal. Os resultados encontrados apontam para a complexidade da violência contra velhos, caracterizando-se como um processo multidimensional, no qual não é possível identificar uma única causa como geradora do evento. Alguns caminhos são apontados para minimizar as ocorrências. Desbanalizar a violência psicológica pode ser um caminho, uma vez que ela foi identificada como uma prática de menor gravidade pelos agressores. A reestruturação da rede de atenção, reestabelecendo os canais de comunicação entre as instituições, afim de agilizar as ações, dar suporte aos técnicos e evitar que novas violências sejam cometidas contra os velhos pode estar no percurso da proteção. Também sugere-se a urgência de repensar os currículos escolares nos diferentes níveis da educação formal, desde a pré-escola até os níveis universitários, para desenvolver relações intergeracionais positivas, que, certamente, será uma importante contribuição no âmbito da prevenção. Sabe-se que a tese trouxe contribuições para compreender o complexo processo da violência, mas também sinaliza para a necessidade de novas pesquisas paralelas a ações efetivas que mostrem para a sociedade que efetivamente se tem buscado fazer a diferença.History shows us that the violence against old people is not a recent problem in the society. In several cultures, for many generations, the violent behavior against elderly has been repeated. In the last few years, a shift of behavior in society have been noticed in response to this problem. New laws are created, coping guides are shared, but these movements are insufficient to face the suffering of the families involved in this kind of violence. Foucault, Elias and Scotson and Faleiros were some of the authors referred to give theoretical support to the field research and subsequent analysis. Aware of the complexity of this subject, this thesis allowed the aggressors to be heard, understanding that all sides of the violence should be able to speak. Up to now, the studies about violence basically researched this issue from the victim's view or based on data recorded in public services that work as gateways of complaints registration. Thus, the main objective of this research is to analyze the factors that led to the violence against elderly from the aggressor's view, in order to organize a discussion to feed educational operations on the field of violence. To this purpose, it has as specific objectives: a) get to know the history of life of the old people’s aggressors; b) identify the possible triggers that cause aggressions; c) understand the structural aspects that could be related to the practice of violence; d) provide some elements for educational interventions in the field of violence. Based on the proposed objectives, it's been opted for an exploratory research, of qualitative character, where through the narratives it was possible to become closer to the stories of the involved people. The sample has been created by convenience, constituted by 5 women and 3 men all of them sons and daughters excluding one that was husband. The results analyzed from the Analysis of Content proposed by Moraes were organized into two big categories, namely: Multidimensionality of violence, subdivided into "Construction of family relationships", "Consumption of illicit drugs and alcohol" and "unemployment", and the second category named "Social Mechanisms of Attention to Violence". Through the study it was evidenced that most of the aggressors were a very close relative of the elderly, usually children and grandchildren who generally carry the memories of having been victims of violence in other phases of their lives. The triggers to violence are related to family dysfunction, unemployment and abusive consumption of alcohol and / or other illicit drugs. Also it has been identified a precarious actuation of the social mechanisms of protection of the elderly, which aren’t able to guarantee the security of the old people. In addition it keeps some gaps in rendering effective services due to numerous factors, even when it counts on technicians who have the desire to do so. The found results lead to the complexity of the violence against elderly and it is characterized as a multidimensional process without a single cause as event generator. Some paths are pointed to minimize occurrences. Considering the psychological violence could be a way, since the aggressors identified it as a minor severity practice. Restructuring the network of care, restoring the communication channels between the institutions in order to make the actions more efficient, give support to the technicians and prevent further violence being committed against the elderly could be in the protection route. The urgency to rethink the school curricula at all levels of formal education is suggested, from the pre-school to university levels, to develop positive intergenerational relations, which certainly will be an important contribution for the range of prevention. It is known that the thesis brought contributions to understand the complex process of violence, but also points to the need of further researches and effective actions, that shows to the society that it has tried to effectively make the difference.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is focused on recent developments in health policies in the two jurisdictions of Ireland - referred to here as North and South. The data are drawn from health policies published in Ireland since 1995 to the present day. The theoretical approach selected for the analysis of relevant policy documents is that of narrative. Health policy in any country covers a wide range of issues - however, it is usually the case that in every generation a relatively small number of problems and issues are identified as in need 9f special attention. Thus it is in Ireland where an emergent and growing problem is said to be 'obesity'. Obesity as a problem dominates quite a number of policy documents published since the mid 1990s and along with obesity a variety of other problems are said to be evident - such as low rates of physical activity, and attachment to unhealthy diet. A central aim of this thesis is to study how these things are interlinked and inter- related in policy narratives, and what the implications of the various storylines are for the structuring of health care in Ireland. Most of the relevant policy documents studied contain quite intricate narratives on the origins of obesity, its current distribution in the population, and on consequences of current rates for the future. However, the basis on which relevant storylines rest is never entirely clear. Evidence referred to is sometimes contradictory and at other times inappropriate. Very often the policy storylines are driven by extrapolations from uncertain current data into an unknown and unknowable future. Moreover, it seems clear that although the dominant narrative on obesity is a medical one, elements of moralizing (moral tales) are evident in the narrative mesh. It is such complexities that are explored within.

Hebing, Mireille. "Refugee stories in Britain : narratives of personal experiences in a network of power relations." Thesis, City University London, 2009. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/11925/.
Full textAbstract:
Contemporary Western society is permeated by a culture in which personal tales can be told and listened to continuously, which is intensified by different modes of hi-tech mass media production and consumption. However, some narratives seem to flow into public discourses and find receptive audiences much more easily than others. Personal experience stories of excluded communities, when they feed into audiences that will listen to them, have the potential to bring about social change. Indeed, lifting the silence surrounding socially excluded lives is a legitimate, democratic means of achieving social and political justice. In a globalised world it is the degree to which a person has the capacity to control the story of their lives which is considered a significant means of empowerment. Refugee narratives are mostly represented by others, mainly as part of a political strategy to control their entry into Britain, and their lives whilst their claim for asylum is being considered. A range of narratives about refugees dominates public discourses, whilst personal refugee stories remain marginalised. There is limited scope for refugees to tell their stories, and restricted access to a potential audience. As a result they lack the capacity of agency in constructing their own lives, and in having any impact on their political and social circumstances. This qualitative study explores how personal refugee narratives are situated in a network of power relations. A methodological framework involving extensive fieldwork, which includes a number of in-depth life story interviews, provides the background to the study. Narrative analysis offers a profound insight into the extent to which refugees can be seen as agents in constructing their life stories. The current social climate and policy environment determines how refugee narratives are represented, which is epitomised in the asylum determination procedure, where refugee stories need to meet narrow criteria in order to be deemed credible. In contrast, the recent academic and government interest in the personal dimension of refugee integration within social cohesion discourses, indicates the urgent need for a narrative space, or a platform where different communities can share experiences. In this context, thinking about refugee narratives as constructed within a structural setting as well as conceptualising them as a vehicle to integration and empowerment, is high on the policy agenda and remain key areas of interest for future academic research.

Haywood, Douglas. "The ethic of the code : values, networks and narrative among the civic hacking community." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2018. http://research.gold.ac.uk/23348/.
Full textAbstract:
Computer hacking has come to represent something negative within mainstream society and is typically associated with malicious or criminal acts. However, for those involved in hacking, this practice typically means something quite different and much more positive in nature. Recently, hacking has also gained increasing popular appeal with greater interest in the role of hackers in the history of technology. This portrayal, however, represents hacking in a binary way, portraying the activity as either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ rather than as the reality of a complex and heterogeneous set of practices and ethics. It is within this context that the Civic Hacking movement has emerged. Those involved in Civic Hacking apply these ethics on a global and local scale to create projects which aim to solve a range of social problems using technology and borrowing from the approaches and practices of hacking. These ‘problems’ can include crime; violence; humanitarian disasters such as tsunamis, famine or earthquake; improvements needed to local government in terms of the democratic process or infrastructure; providing access to healthcare, education or banking in remote areas; involving local communities in issues and a range of other challenges which require solutions. This research project explores hacking as a non-technologically specific social practice based around a collection of Hacker Ethics. Through research focusing on hacking events, I argue that Civic Hacking is indicative of the influence of the Hacker Ethic in wider areas of society. In particular, I explore how Civic Hacking is situated within the wider history of hacking; to what extent the technological artefacts produced by Civic Hacking are shaped by the ethics of these groups; whether Civic Hacking is indicative of a democratisation of technologies; and the types of communities which form around Civic Hacking.

Full textAbstract:
The Captive Press argues that nineteenth-century Indian captivity narratives escaped from the expectations of the American literary marketplace through manipulations of the material text. With modern methods of production, promotion, and dissemination, captivity narratives dominated the reading public even as Native peoples were forced to submit to governmental encroachments. This study focuses on narratives produced by and about Anglo-American women whose impoverished return from captivity motivated them to write for their livelihood. The narratives of Rachel Parker Plummer, Sarah Larimer, Fanny Kelly, and Abbie Gardner-Sharp were designed to appeal to local readers who were likely to become financial sponsors through direct marketing. Later editions added para-textual material, developed textual content, and introduced illustrations such as wood engravings or photographs to increase marketability for broader audiences. By publishing captivity narratives on state presses and distributing them through regional print networks, nineteenth-century producers maintained the homegrown flavor of the genre while expanding readership beyond local boundaries. This dissertation demonstrates how, with the assistance of editors, illustrators, and publishers, these entrepreneurial women reversed their subject position to hold the popular press captive.

Cette thèse étudie l'évolution du marché pour les technologies de la ville intelligente, en décrivant son évolution comme un processus intégrant des pratiques dans lesquelles le récit permet leur assemblage en tant que construction cohérente et logique. Le marché technologique des villes intelligentes illustre les multiples rôles des narrations dans leur formation. Ainsi, les récits sont utilisées pour créer des représentations du marché expliquant son fonctionnement et les interrelations entre acteurs et technologies. Celles-ci sont ensuite recréées dans les échanges commerciaux en ajoutant de nouveaux éléments qui résonnent pour le client. La narration devient un outil pour convaincre, faire preuve d’expertise, réduire les incertitudes et développer des liens de confiance. Les nouvelles recréations du récit jouent un rôle dans les pratiques de normalisation qui permettent la création de règles, de politiques, d'habitudes et de routines. Ainsi, le récit est présent tout au long du processus de mise en forme du marché, agissant comme un outil d'assemblage. Cette recherche contribue à fournir une perspective alternative dans le processus de formation du marché, en présentant la façon dont ce dernier s'est développé pour les marchés technologiques émergents, en faisant des narratives un outil essentiel dans l'assemblage des pratiques du marché, et en montrant le rôle de l'agence narrative dans le processus de formation du marchéThis dissertation investigates the market shaping for smart city technologies, understanding market shaping as a process that embeds market practices in which the narrative permits their assemblage as a coherent and logical construction that allows to make sense of the actors' actions, granting the entrance of new products or services into the market. The case in point, the smart city technology market depicts the multiple roles of the narratives in the shaping of markets. Thus, narratives are used to create market representations that explain how the market operates and interrelations between actors and technologies, those representations are later re-created in commercial exchanges by adding new elements that resonate with the customer the narrative becomes a tool to persuade, convince, show expertise, reduce uncertainty and develop trust bonds. New re-creations of the narrative fulfill a role in normalisation practices that allow the creation of norms, policies, habits and routines. Thus, the narrative is present throughout the market shaping process acting as an assemblage tool. This research contributes to provides an alternative perspective into the market shaping process, presenting how this process is developed for emerging technology markets and by bringing narratives as a pivotal tool in the assemblage of market practices and demonstrating the narrative agency in the market shaping process

A presente tese tem por objetivo identificar estruturas e dinâmicas associadas à circulação de diferentes tipos de acontecimentos jornalísticos no Twitter. Busca-se, com isso, comparar as formas de circulação de narrativas em torno de diferentes tipos de acontecimentos jornalísticos em sites de rede social. Tem-se como pressuposto o fato de que o jornalismo contemporâneo estaria configurado como uma rede, formada por nós compostos por diversos atores para além dos veículos jornalísticos, os quais, através da participação de variadas formas, contribuem para a circulação jornalística. O referencial teórico do trabalho aborda o paradigma de redes, a circulação na cibercultura e no jornalismo, as especificidades da circulação e da recirculação jornalística em sites de rede social e o acontecimento jornalístico. Para operacionalizar a pesquisa, utiliza-se como método o estudo de caso de postagens no Twitter em torno de determinados acontecimentos jornalísticos associados à Copa do Mundo de 2014. Ao todo quatro casos são estudados tendo como procedimentos metodológicos a observação e a análise de redes sociais. Os resultados trazem indícios de que a participação do público na circulação jornalística traz modificações não apenas para o jornalismo como também pode provocar ressignificações no próprio acontecimento.In this thesis, we aim to identify structures and dynamics associated to the circulation of different types of news events on Twitter. Thus, we seek to compare forms of circulation of narratives about different types of news events in social network sites. One of the premises we adopt is the fact that contemporary journalism is shaped like a network, composed by nodes that comprises diverse actors beyond news outlets, which, through participation in various forms, contribute to news circulation. We use as a theoretical background concepts related to the network paradigm, to circulation of contents on cyberculture and journalism, the specificities of news circulation and recirculation in social network sites, and news events. In order to operationalize the research, we use the method of case study of posts on Twitter about some specific news events related to the 2014 FIFA’s World Cup. We studied four cases using a combination of observation and social network analysis. The results provide evidence that the participation of the public on news circulation brings changes not only for journalism but also leads to a reframing in the events themselves.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the attempt by the British government and a US corporation, Cisco Systems Inc., to address the low participation of women in ICT fields. It draws from government documentation on women's inclusion and contextualises this policy within a wider analysis of socio-economic exclusion. Three related cultures of inclusion emerge which are linked to improving the nation's access to the new economy, and central to each is the reconfiguration of democratic citizenship for people classified as socially excluded. Incorporating Cisco's and academic perspectives on gender and technology relations, a phenomenological perspective is used to unravel the reality of this present day snapshot of social and ICT exclusion and inclusion, with the Heideggerian concept of 'Gestell' reformulated to include a neo-Marxist framework and a gender analysis. Adopting the methodological approach of narrative and feminist critical theory, the thesis describes three key backgrounds to the related ICT policies and strategies and matches each with the experiences of students and staff engaged in the case study of the Cisco Certified Network Associate, a network engineer training programme. In contrasting these macro and micro accounts, the thesis seeks to explore underlying sites of tension to show how policy and practice are often in opposition to one another. Motivated by the research question of whether ontological security arises from the equity model of inclusion for a subset of the socially excluded, lone women parents, it is suggested that it does not. With the appearance of social control and not personal empowerment, greater insecurity is argued to accrue. In providing this analytical and empirical approach, the thesis seeks to contribute to current research on gender and technology by widening its remit of investigation, and provide an innovative, multidisciplinary and critical perspective to IS research.

In today's digital era, elements of anyone's life can be captured, by themselves or others, and be instantly broadcast. With little or no regulation on the proliferation of camera technology and the increasing use of video for social communication, entertainment, and education, we have undoubtedly entered the age of ubiquitous media. A world permeated by connected video devices promises a more democratized approach to mass-media culture, enabling anyone to create and distribute personalized content. While these advancements present a plethora of possibilities, they are not without potential negative effects, particularly with regard to privacy, ownership, and the general decrease in quality associated with minimal barriers to entry. This dissertation presents a first-of-its-kind research platform designed to investigate the world of ubiquitous video devices in order to confront inherent problems and create new media applications. This system takes a novel approach to the creation of user-generated, documentary video by augmenting a network of video cameras integrated into the environment with on-body sensing. The distributed video camera network can record the entire life of anyone within its coverage range and it will be shown that it, almost instantly, records more audio and video than can be viewed without prohibitive human resource cost.
(cont.) This drives the need to develop a mechanism to automatically understand the raw audiovisual information in order to create a cohesive video output that is understandable, informative, and/or enjoyable to its human audience. We address this need with the SPINNER system. As humans, we are inherently able to transform disconnected occurrences and ideas into cohesive narratives as a method to understand, remember, and communicate meaning. The design of the SPINNER application and ubiquitous sensor platform is informed by research into narratology, in other words how stories are created from fragmented events. The SPINNER system maps low level sensor data from the wearable sensors to higher level social signal and body language information. This information is used to label the raw video data. The SPINNER system can then build a cohesive narrative by stitching together the appropriately labeled video segments. The results from three test runs are shown, each resulting in one or more automatically edited video piece. The creation of these videos is evaluated through review by their intended audience and by comparing the system to a human trying to perform similar actions. In addition, the mapping of the wearable sensor data to meaningful information is evaluated by comparing the calculated results to those from human observation of the actual video.

Between approximately September 1, 2012 and February 1, 2014, the popular Canadian fashion retailer Lululemon Athletica Inc. faced an organizational crisis due to quality management problems. Beginning with manufacturing complications, the quality issues expressed themselves through various crisis symptoms (e.g., financial issues, legal issues, and senior leadership turmoil). The organization enacted crisis communication strategies to mitigate reputational risk and to inform the public and its stakeholders about the crisis. The news media also reported on the crisis extensively, which contributed to the public and stakeholders’ perceptions of the company and crisis. This dissertation draws on theories of narrative, translation, communication and media, and crisis communication to develop a theoretical foundation to guide the goals of this study. It is based on theories that conceptualize textual journalism as a process of both intralingual and interdiscursive translation that results in new narratives for the purpose of news media content creation. A qualitative content analysis informed by principles of critical discourse analysis is conducted to examine the narration of the crisis as depicted in the company’s textual communication about the crisis (e.g., press releases, annual reports), and the depiction of the crisis as narrated in textual media reports about the organization’s crisis. The two information streams are first analyzed individually to extract the main themes and sub-themes presented. Based on these analyses, a comparison of the two different information streams and their respective crisis narratives is conducted. The project investigates the ways in which the media translated information about the crisis to create their own narratives of the crisis. The findings of this dissertation show the process through which translation occurs, namely the linguistic and discursive variance between these two information streams. An analysis of the patterns in the linguistic and discursive variance between these two information streams indicates how the different social contexts in which each information stream is embedded may have impacted how the translation/journalism process occurs.

Este trabalho pesquisou os usos do Jornal Eletrônico Educação & Imagem, feitos para e por professores da rede pública. As práticas narradas e as imagens trazidas pelos docentes, que são usuários do jornal, nos possibilitou refletir sobre os currículos e os conhecimentos que têm sido tecidos cotidianamente. Para analisar as narrativas e as imagens presentes nos artigos escritos pelos professores foram pesquisados os editoriais redigidos por cada grupo de pesquisa, que faz parte da elaboração do periódico, e a seção Voz do leitor que publica artigos escritos por professores. Este estudo tem suas relações teóricoepistemológicas e teórico-metodológicas com as pesquisas nos/dos/com os cotidianos (Lefebvre, Certeau) que têm permitido compreender as redes de conhecimentos e significações que se dão nos múltiplos cotidianos em que vivemos, entendendoos como contextos educativos. Para falar sobre a importância da narrativa em pesquisa alguns autores como Walter Ong e Nilda Alves embasaram este estudo. Para o tratamento das noções de tecnologia, currículo e imagens dialogamos com os autores Nilda Alves, MartinBarbero, Boris Kossoy, Roberto Macedo, Alice Lopes, Elisabeth Macedo, Arlindo Machado, Pierre Lévy, Edméa Santos e Marco Silva. Dos artigos analisados observei que as imagens utilizadas pelos professores que escreveram para o jornal apresentaram uma multiplicidade de usos. A maioria fez uso de material fotográfico. Em seus artigos temos imagens usadas nos seguintes contextos: como registro de suas atividades com os alunos, como registro/memória autobiográfica, como reflexão da própria imagem apresentada ou como ilustração do texto dentre outros. Ao trabalhar com estas narrativas e imagens temos a oportunidade de discutir como se dá e como se tem desdobrado os usos do periódico eletrônico, possibilitandonos compreender e complexificar sobre outros processos cotidianos, a partir destes que nos é retratado e narrado.
This paper aims to research the uses of the electronic journal Education & Image, made for and by public school teachers. Practices narrated by the teachers who are daily users enable us to reflect on the curriculum and knowledge that have been daily woven. To analyze the narratives contained in articles written by teachers. I focused this work in the editorial written by each research group which is part of the preparation of the journal and in the Readers comments section. This study has its theoretical and epistemological relations and theoretical and methodological approaches to research in / of / with daily life (Lefebvre, Certeau) which have allowed us to understand the network of knowledge and senses that occur in many everyday situations we live in, understanding them as educational contexts. In this sense, we work with the idea that knowledge is woven, too, through the customs and practices that humans create in their daily lives in a different way than we have been taught, in Modernity, in science. Thus, I believe it is necessary and possible search relations practitioners (Certeau) with the many existing cultural artifacts. These will be studied through the uses to which these teachers develop in contact with the newspaper with the images and narratives it contains.

Full textAbstract:
In response to the anthropological literature on old age and ageing that remains largely isolated from more contemporary anthropological theory, this thesis re-focuses anthropological attention on the experiences of ageing. Towards this end, I examine the way macro- (history, politics, economics) and micro-level processes (social relations, intergenerational relations, local contexts, individual histories) intersect to frame the cultural construction of old age, personal experiences of "being old", and the self. A central point of intersection between these processes comes from the recent history of social transformation in my fieldsite, Dodworth, a former coal-mining village. Since the late 1980s, this is an area that has been grappling with the rupturing effects of the closure of the coal-mining industry. Attending to these conditions and how they inform the everyday reality and the experiences of ageing and of the self are critical concerns in this thesis. My approach to the ageing self is one that privileges narrativity and temporality as key constitutive elements and which considers the potentially different position of older people in relation to time and to the self. Growing older is a complicated mixture of bodily and social change, and negotiating these shifts has crucial implications for one's sense of self and subjectivity. While "old age" is a category which is readily used in daily discourse and living, what old age is and who is old nevertheless resists anchoring. What old age, being old and ageing meant to my research participants are key questions in order to understand the experience of growing older in Dodworth. Throughout the thesis, I focus on the dialectics of interpersonal interactions in order to speak meaningfully about how the experience of old age is organised and constructed. Emerging in tandem with these issues is another major topic of this thesis: social memory. Talk in Dodworth about places, absences, and relations continually brought the past and present together and was involved in how a sense of self is created. What emerged was a three-dimensionality of memory, an individual and collective way of placing oneself and others in relation to spatial aspects of the villagescape.

La innovación de estrategias de marketing en el Perú encuentra diversificación respecto a las diversas temáticas sociales inscritas en el contenido publicitario. El gay advertising o publicidad LGBT empieza a ocupar espacio en la malla de contenido y comunicación de marcas que lideran el mercado peruano. Pilsen Callao tomó la iniciativa de transformarse renovando su identidad de marca, buscando generar conciencia sobre equidad de género a través de la campaña “Amistad Sin Diferencias”. Esta campaña presentó el concepto de amistad desde la perspectiva del respeto y la igualdad. Debido al auge de la creación de marcas que compiten en las mismas categorías, nace la necesidad de estrategias de marketing que permitan generar afinidad con el consumidor. Uno de los métodos más conocidos es el storytelling, dicha técnica narrativa permite desarrollar la identidad de una marca, que tiene como objetivo crear empatía y llamar la atención del consumidor. Ante este contexto, el storytelling, se emplea como táctica publicitaria para abarcar diversos segmentos y nichos de mercado. En base a ello, el presente trabajo de investigación académica tiene como objetivo analizar dichas herramientas empleadas —permitiendo de este modo renovar su discurso— en la campaña digital "Amistad Sin Diferencias" de Pilsen efectuada en la plataforma Facebook. El desarrollo de la investigación se lleva a cabo mediante una metodología cualitativa, basada en la revisión de bibliografía y entrevistas realizadas a especialistas del rubro publicitario.The innovation of marketing strategies in Peru finds diversification with respect to the various social themes inscribed in the advertising content. Gay advertising or LGBT advertising begins to occupy space in the content and communication mesh of brands that lead the Peruvian market. Pilsen Callao took the initiative to transform itself by renewing its brand identity, seeking to raise awareness about gender equality through the “Friendship Without Differences” campaign. This campaign presented the concept of friendship from the perspective of respect and equality. Due to the rise in the creation of brands that compete in the same categories, the need arises for marketing strategies that allow generating affinity with the consumer. One of the best-known methods is storytelling, this narrative technique allows developing the identity of a brand, which aims to create empathy and attract the attention of the consumer. In this context, storytelling is used as an advertising tactic to cover various market segments and niches. Based on this, the present academic research work aims to identify these tools used - thus allowing them to renew their discourse - in Pilsen's "Friendship Without Differences" digital campaign carried out on the Facebook platform. The development of the research is carried out through a qualitative methodology, based on the literature review and interviews with specialists in the advertising field.

Full textAbstract:
Les statues et les reliefs narratifs bouddhiques du Gandhāra présentent des points communs qui justifient la désignation d’un « art du Gandhāra » : le matériau, le sujet et la nature composite. Malgré cette évidente homogénéité, il existe d’importantes variations iconographiques et stylistiques. Cette thèse de doctorat tend à mettre en évidence ces variations afin de produire la première identification et caractérisation des langages stylistiques de l’art du Gandhāra. Les réflexions liminaires sur les contextes géographique, historique et religieux dans lesquels l’art du Gandhāra s’est développé sont suivies de prolégomènes sur les cadres historiographiques et théoriques de la recherche. Ils soulignent l’utilité d’une méthodologie et d’une terminologie appropriées ainsi que la nécessité d’un corpus des sculptures correctement documentées sur lequel une étude stylistique peut se fonder. L’inventaire des sculptures a permis d’identifier et de rassembler dans une base de données électronique environ 5000 oeuvres dont la provenance est attestée. La dernière partie se concentre sur l’identification des écoles, des foyers artistiques, des centres de production et des ateliers gandhāriens ainsi que sur leur caractérisation iconographique et formelle. La présentation suit une progression géographique qui permet de montrer la corrélation entre les niveaux stylistiques et la géographie gandhārienne et de déceler des réseaux d’interaction. Cette thèse propose en conclusion une reconstruction provisoire des routes anciennes de la région, un réexamen des chronologies fondées sur l’étude des styles et une réflexion sur la normalisation géographique des iconographies bouddhiquesBuddhist statues and narrative relieves from Gandhāra share common characteristics thus justifying the designation of “Gandhāran art”. The homogeneity of Gandhāran art is certainly manifest in its material, its subject and its composite nature, yet it is possible to distinguish important iconographic and stylistic variations. This doctoral thesis aims to highlight these variations in order to provide the first identification and characterisation of the various stylistic languages of Gandhāran Buddhist art. The introductory reflections on the geographical, historical and religious contexts within which Gandhāran Buddhist art developed, are followed by prolegomena of the historiographical and theoretical frameworks of the research. These emphasise the need for an appropriate methodology and terminology and the necessity for a corpus of correctly documented pieces on which a stylistic study can be founded. The preliminary inventory of Gandhāran sculptures has identified approximately 5000 pieces of known provenance gathered in an electronic database. The last part focuses on the identification of Gandhāran schools, artistic zones, production centres and workshops and on their characterisation in terms of iconography and form. The review is geographically organised, thus revealing the existing correlation between the stylistic levels and Gandhāran geography and allowing the recognition of various interaction networks. The thesis concludes with an attempt to identify ancient routes, a reassessment of old stylistically based chronologies and a reflection on the geographical normalisation of Buddhist iconographies

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorAtravés de narrativas sobre as práticas cotidianas de quatro professoras (três brasileiras e uma francesa), acompanhadas de narrativas desenvolvidas entorno de um conjunto de imagens de alunos, esta pesquisa busca pensar como professores e alunos produzem os currículos nos seus cotidianos escolares. Através dos diferentes usos dos materiais disponíveis, dos questionamentos, das histórias de vida e das inúmeras experiências que constituem as subjetividades, os praticantes das escolas tecem, em redes, os seus conhecimentos e suas significações para a vida. Problematizando esta temática, com a professora de artes, Cristiane Costa, busco desenvolver uma discussão metodológica sobre os estudos dos cotidianos, me propondo compreender algumas possibilidades das táticas cotidianas de aprenderensinar. Com uma professora de matemática, Luciana Getirana, acompanhada da narrativa de uma aluna, Maria Nunes, analiso as relações entre conhecimentos científicos e conhecimentos cotidianos. Em seguida, com a professora de língua portuguesa, Cristiane Souza, discuto as demandas de professores por uma fórmula, uma receita de bolo, que contenha algumas soluções para os problemas da educação. Com a professora de história e geografia, Laure Cambos, busco pensar o professor no atravessamento de fronteiras entre culturas e conhecimentos. Neste sentido, elegi duas práticas de mediação cultural presentes no cotidiano desta professora: a primeira é o uso de imagens como prática de aprenderensinar, e a segunda consiste nas atividades de saídas da escola (aulas caminhadas). Por último, reúno fotografias de alunos para desenvolver duas temáticas que entrelaçam os capítulos anteriores: o dentrofora das escolas e as experimentações do mundo. A partir de narrativas sobre estas imagens, procuro pensar os cotidianos dos alunos nas práticas de aprenderensinar. Compreender estes currículos em redes possibilita problematizar as noções que não reconhecem a fragilidade das fronteiras, por perceberem os cotidianos através de relações dicotômicas. Estas fronteiras são habitadas pelos professores, produtores de possibilidades de mediações entre diferentes culturas e conhecimentos. Como práticas de atravessamento de fronteiras, as práticas de aprenderensinar buscam alternativas para a dicotomia que separa o dentro e o fora da escola, os conhecimentos cotidianos e os conhecimentos científicos, bem como os currículos prescritos e os currículos vividos. A pesquisa tem apoio teórico em autores como Nilda Alves, Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Boaventura Santos, Nèstor Canclini entre outros.
Through narratives of daily practices of four women teachers (three Brazilian and one French), together with narratives developed around a set of student images, this research aims to reflect on how teachers and students produce curricula in their day-to-day school experiences. Through different uses of available materials, questions raised, life stories, and innumerable experiences that constitute their subjectivities, school practitioners weave, in networks, their knowledges and their meanings for life. Problematizing this theme with the art teacher Cristiane Costa, I seek to develop a methodological discussion on studies of daily life, trying to understand some possibilities of the daily learning-teaching tactics. With mathematics teacher Luciana Getirana, together with the narrative from student Maria Nunes, I analyze the relations between scientific knowledges and daily knowledges. Later, with Portuguese-language teacher Cristiane Souza, I discuss teachers demands for a formula, a cake recipe, which would contain some solutions for the problems of education. With history and geography teacher Laure Cambos, I try to reflect on the teacher, crossing the frontiers between cultures and knowledges. To this extent, I chose two practices of cultural mediation that are present in the daily life of this teacher: the first one is the use of images as a learning-teaching practice, and the second are the out-of-school activities (the walking classes). Finally, I put together photographs of students to develop two themes that interweave the previous chapters: the inside/outside of schools and world experiments. Based on narratives about those images, I seek to reflect on the daily lives of students in their learning-teaching practices. Understanding these networked curricula enables us to call into question notions that do not recognize the fragility of frontiers because they perceive daily life through dichotomous relations. Those frontiers are inhabited by teachers, who produce possibilities of mediation among different cultures and knowledges. As cross-border practices, the learning-teaching practices seek alternatives for the dichotomy separating the inside and the outside of school, daily life knowledges and scientific knowledges, as well as prescribed curricula and experienced curricula. The research sought theoretical support in authors such as Nilda Alves, Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Boaventura Santos, Nèstor Canclini, among others.

The study of memory and narrative and its relation with the production and consumption of images has shown a challenging course, especially nowadays, when we try to understand these processes in digital environments. The photo operates in the processes of meaning attribution, that is, the meanings that subjects give to a certain event, in how people and events are remembered, narrated and understood. In particular, the digital photograph produced in order to be shared online introduces an interesting field of research of both and autobiographical memory and narration. This study proposes to analyze the photos shared on Facebook that play on the autobiographical memories, with effect therefore on current forms of self-narration. In other words, we try to understand how the new digital ways of producing images (especially those produced to be shared) operate in the way users build their memories of a lived moment, articulating the past, present and future from the mediatized images. In addition, we investigate how these new ways of "saving" memory influence the creation of current autobiographical narratives, that is, the stories that people tell about themselves. The qualitative study consisted in two stages: 1) application of semi-structured questionnaire with topics about photography and memory; 2) coding and analysis of the photographs available for research, selected by respondents. The invitation to participate was given on Facebook. We identified the factors that contributed to the process of choosing the shared images, as well as the individual and social processes that circumscribe the practices of production of digital photography sharing, with the intention of establishing a relationship between the production of memory and self-narratives.
O estudo da memória e da narrativa e de sua relação com a produção e o consumo de imagens mostra-se um caminho desafiador, sobretudo na contemporaneidade, quando tentamos compreender esses processos nos ambientes digitais. A fotografia opera nos processos de significação, isto é, nos significados que os sujeitos conferem a um dado acontecimento, no modo como eventos e pessoas são lembrados, contados e compreendidos. Em especial, a fotografia digital produzida para ser compartilhada online introduz um campo de problemas interessantes para investigação dos processos de memória e narração autobiográficas. Este estudo propõe analisar como as fotografias compartilhadas no Facebook atuam sobre a produção de memórias autobiográficas, com efeitos, portanto, sobre atuais formas de narração de si. Em outras palavras, procuramos entender como as novas formas digitais de produzir imagens (principalmente aquelas produzidas para serem compartilhadas) operam na forma como os usuários constroem suas lembranças do vivido, articulando as relações entre passado, presente e futuro a partir das imagens midiatizadas. Além disso, investigamos como essas novas maneiras de “guardar” a memória atuam sobre a criação das atuais narrativas autobiográficas, isto é, as histórias que as pessoas contam sobre si mesmas. Esta pesquisa apoia-se nos estudos de memória, narrativa e novas mídias de Van Dijck , Brockmeier e Sibilia, e em Dubois e Samain no que se refere à natureza, ao funcionamento e à análise da fotografia. O estudo qualitativo consistiu em duas etapas: 1) aplicação do questionário semi-estruturado com temas sobre fotografia e memória; 2) codificação e análise das fotografias disponibilizadas para a pesquisa, selecionadas pelos respondentes. O convite à participação se deu no próprio Facebook. Identificamos os fatores que contribuem para o processo de escolha da imagem compartilhada e os processos individuais e sociais que circunscrevem as práticas de produção e compartilhamento da fotografia digital, procurando estabelecer uma relação entre a produção de memória e as autonarrativas.

Full textAbstract:
1989 was the year when Polish history textbooks were freed from the control of the communist state. It was also the time when Pandora’s Box was opened and diverse but often conflicting memories and narratives were released into the public sphere. They were promoted not only by domestic but also transnational actors and international organisations. So far the relationship between textbook narratives and networks of actors who influenced textbook production in postcommunist Poland has not been studied. Hence, this thesis investigates how textbook narratives evolved between 1989 and 2015 and which institutions and individuals influenced the process of narrative production, and how. While chapter one presents the methodology used, chapter two sketches textbook development in the context of the politics of history, changing procedural arrangements for textbook production and the evolving textbook publishing market. Textbook narrative analysis, presented in chapter three, illuminates how the representation of the Second World War - especially the images of Poles, Germans, Jews and Soviets - transformed. Chapter four analyses the actors that influenced history textbook narratives. It shows how Solidarity members, who had opposed communist narratives of history in the 1980s, took over key positions within state institutions in 1989 and created their own narratives about the war. In the following years, textbook narrative polyphony rather than one united narrative existed, especially in textbooks produced after a 1999 education reform. Yet this narrative polyphony did not last long. When another reform was implemented in 2009, nationalist-conservatives were in conflict with liberal conservatives, aligned with the then governing Civic Platform party. Only narratives of liberal-conservatives found their way into textbooks.

In every step in ways of producing language, we started to live in new communicative and cultural ecologies, that present themselves in an increased semiodiversity (Santaella, 2010, p. 63). New environments are configured, leaving sometimes to the art the role of mediating and reach new limits that broaden the understanding of the generated changes by the emerging possibilities. In order to trace reflections and propose a theoretical and methodological basis concerning the creation of the artistic narratives on digital platforms, this paper seeks, from monitoring the several steps of a developed network project, the Global Strike (globalstrike.net), to prepare a critical repertoire for analysis and creation of aesthetic manifestations that use hypermedia languages. We start from an ecological perspective, when different agents tend to be articulated in interactive processes and produce a reticular and flat organized flows. Definitions are traced that we hope to strengthen the understanding about works that are limited in such model. To clarify terms like communication s ecology and interstitial narratives, we seek to restructure concepts like author, work and observer. By the time we identify a political dimension in such experiences, as these constitute temporary practice and through heterogeneous associations
A cada avanço nos modos de produzir linguagem, passamos a habitar novas ecologias comunicacionais e culturais que se apresentam em uma semiodiversidade cada vez maior (Santaella, 2010, p. 63). Novos ambientes se configuram, cabendo por vezes à arte o papel de mediar e alçar novos limites que ampliem a compreensão das alterações geradas pelas possibilidades que emergem. Com o intuito de traçar reflexões e propor uma base teórica e metodológica acerca do modo de produção de narrativas artísticas em plataformas digitais, o presente trabalho busca, a partir do acompanhamento das diversas etapas de um projeto desenvolvido em rede, o Global Strike (globalstrike.net), elaborar um repertório crítico para análise e criação de manifestações estéticas que utilizam linguagens hipermidiáticas. Partimos de uma perspectiva ecológica, em que diferentes agentes tendem a se articular em processos interacionais e produzir fluxos reticulares e horizontalmente organizados. São traçadas definições que esperamos que fortaleçam a compreensão de obras que se circunscrevem em tal modelo. Ao elucidar termos como ecologia da comunicação e narrativas intersticiais, buscamos reestruturar conceitos como autor, obra e observador. Ao tempo que identificamos uma dimensão política em tais experiências, visto que estas se constituem provisórias e por meio de associações heterogêneas

Full textAbstract:
The Chilean women’s movement has a long history of challenging state power. The role women played in the opposition against Augusto Pinochet’s authoritarian regime has fascinated researchers. There also seems to be a consensus, whereby the contemporary movement is considered to be divided. Yet, recent developments in Chile have seen a resurgence of women’s activism that has not been studied. The need for re-mobilization points to the idea that women’s concerns and needs have not been adequately addressed in the past, despite their strong presence in civil society. This study explores how women have experienced social action in the Chilean women’s movement, through narrative analysis. Analysing own voices accounts of collective action provided insight into how women organize in Chile; the origins of divisions present in the contemporary women’s movement; important differences and parallels with the women’s movement that opposed the dictatorship; and the presence of vertical structures in Chilean society. In focusing on the experiences of women who were active in the opposition to the dictatorship, as well as the largely untapped voices of women active in the contemporary movement, this project will contribute to future research on similar subjects.

Essa dissertação aborda o tema dos ritmos temporais nas cidades modernocontemporâneas a partir da experiência etnográfica entre núcleos familiares e redes de camadas médias urbanas. Inserida nas discussões sobre planejamento urbano, construção e destruição de propriedade privada residencial, abordamos as representações da morada a partir das imagens que a compõem. O estudo busca pensar o espaço da morada como objeto do tempo nos bairros: Tristeza, Rio Branco, Floresta e Petrópolis, na cidade de Porto Alegre, Brasil; e o Bairro de San Telmo, na cidade de Buenos Aires, Argentina. A partir da pesquisa em imagens de acervo e dados oriundos do método etnográfico buscamos pensar a transformação da cidade a partir das narrativas biográficas e das trajetórias sociais dos integrantes desses diferentes contextos etnográficos por intermédio da noção de memória e de uma etnografia da duração.This thesis intends to establish how the representation of “morada”, in moderncontemporary cities, from the perspective of an ethnographic experience affects the family groups and networks of urban middle classes. The thesis discusses urban planning, construction and destruction of private residential properties, specially including several visual representations of the “morada”. It aims to ponder the “morada” space, as an object changing in a time, in the neighborhoods of Tristeza, Rio Branco, Floresta and Petrópolis, all in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil, and San Telmo, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Searching the data and image collection gathered in an ethnographic method, the thesis discusses the transformation the cities go through, from the perspective of the biographic narratives and social trajectories of the members of those different ethnographic contexts, from the perspective of memory and ethnographic duration.
Esta tesis abarca la cuestion de las ritmos temporales en las ciudades modernocontemporaneas, desde la experiencia etnográfica entre los grupos familiares y las redes de clase media urbana. Incluidos en las discusiones acerca de la planificación urbana, la construcción y la destrucción de la propiedad residencial privada, hablamos de las representaciones de la “morada” desde las imágenes que componen. El estudio tiene como objetivo reflexionar sobre el espacio de la “morada” como un objeto de tiempo en los barrios: Tristeza, Rio Branco, Floresta y Petrópolis, la ciudad de Porto Alegre en Brasil, y San Telmo, en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Desde la investigación cerca de las colecciones de imágenes de museos y arquivos e incluso datos de la etnografía reflexionamos sobre la transformación de la ciudad desde las narrativas y trayectorias sociales de los miembros de los diferentes contextos etnográficos utilizando el concepto de la memoria y la etnografía de la duracion.
