Read, Jason. "Postscript as Preface: Theorizing Control After Deleuze." Universität Leipzig, 2020. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A72863.
Full textAbstract:
Gilles Deleuze’s “Postscript on Control Societies” functions as an index of epochal change. It opens with an invocation of the past, situating Foucault’s theory of disciplinary power in the nineteenth century, and has been read as theorization of the present, of the shifts in power in the late twentieth century. What, however, of its legacy? Or its future? It seems that now, close to thirty years after its publication, it is possible to ask two series of questions of this notion of control. First, where are we with control now?

Raunig, Gerald. "Cipher and Dividuality." Universität Leipzig, 2020. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A71582.
Full textAbstract:
The “Postscript on Control Societies” is considered one of the most accessible texts by Gilles Deleuze, contemporary, yet untimely, ahead of its time, perhaps even ahead of our time. In just a few pages, Deleuze here touches on the specifics of discipline and control and subjects them to three perspectives: history, logic, program. On closer reading, however, one comes across some stumbling blocks, where thinking falters. The paragraph in which the word ‘dividual’ appears for the first time in the text is such an instance. Of course, the individuals of control become dividuals, and the masses become banks. But what does ‘code’ mean here, and what is the difference between the ‘precept’ of disciplinary society and the ‘password’ of control society? As is so often the case, the key lies in questions of context and translation.

Full textAbstract:
Just prior to his untimely death in 1961 in a hospital in the United States of America, Franz Fanon taught a series of lectures at the University of Tunis. His lecture notes include a section titled “Le contrôl et la surveillance”, in which he makes “social diagnoses, on the embodied effects and outcomes of surveillance practices on different categories of laborers when attempts are made by way of workforce supervision to reduce their labor to an automation: factory assembly line workers subjected to time-management by punch clocks and time sheets, the eavesdropping done by telephone switchboard supervisors as they secretly listened in on calls”, and other forms of management by surveillance (Browne 2015: 5-6). Here, Fanon produces an original account of control as an alienating and dehumanizing force of social production. Importantly for Fanon, technologies of control also generate and reinforce subjective experiences of racialization as an aspect of dehumanization in capitalist modernity. Yet, despite Fanon’s close intellectual friendship with Sartre and his involvement with Parisian philosophical circles during the postwar period, the emerging generation of French poststructuralist thinkers who became Sartre’s heirs do not seem to have regarded Fanon’s work on control as influential upon their groundbreaking theorizations of contemporary power and social production. As Simone Browne notes (2015: 165), Foucault does not reference Fanon in his early lectures on discipline and affective embodiment in “Madness and Civilization”, delivered during his own residency from 1966-68 at the University of Tunis; nor does he cite Fanon’s work in his later lecture series on biopolitics and security delivered at the Collège de France from 1977 to 1979. Similarly, although Fanon’s critical approach to psychoanalysis is mentioned in passing by Deleuze and Guattari in Anti-Oedipus (1983), Fanon is not cited by Deleuze (1988) as a precursor to his subsequent thinking about Foucault’s account of “disciplinary society” as a paradigm of modernity. Deleuze’s “Postscript on the Societies of Control”, which Gregory Flaxman (2019) argues should be read as an afterword to Deleuze’s earlier book on Foucault, again fails to consider Fanon a relevant source of knowledge regarding the nature of those power formations Deleuze believes are characteristic of a more contemporary shift towards “societies of control” (Deleuze 1992).

In this article, I seek to discuss the principles of modulation and variation in Deleuze’s canonical essay “Postscript on the Societies of Control” (Deleuze 1992). Analyzing and testing what Deleuze recognizes as “inseparable variations, forming a system of variable geometry” and as a “self-deforming cast that will continuously change from one moment to the other […], like a sieve whose mesh will transmute from point to point” (1992: 4), I will focus on the digital image

Full textAbstract:
In speaking of the society of control, new qualities of current social conditions are usually addressed in a diffuse rather than precise manner. Quite often, e.g. within surveillance studies, it is associated with technologies modelled after the fiction of god-like omnipotence of visual surveillance (cf. Gehring 2017). The relevance of a power of cybernetics – according to Wiener, the science of systemic control – which resonates in the concept of control, refers to normally invisible operations of technical systems that permanently evaluate data streams according to discursively determined parameters and in connection with commercial interests (cf. Wiener 1948).

Full textAbstract:
In his discussion of the transition from the cinema of the movement-image to the cinema of the time-image, Deleuze famously makes way for the traumatic intrusion of history. This transition, he writes, is not purely internal to cinema, but the result of the emergence of
'‘any spaces whatever’, deserted but inhabited, disused warehouses, waste ground, cities in the course of demolition or reconstruction. And in these any-spaceswhatever a new race of characters was stirring, kind of mutant: they saw rather than acted, they were seers. (1989: xi) '
These spaces are the result of the destruction caused by the Second World War, creating new forms of anonymous or empty space: bombed cities, abandoned villages, the chaos of what Thomas Pynchon, in Gravity’s Rainbow, called “the zone” (1975: 281-616).1 It is these spaces, especially in Italian neo-realism, which will break up the movement-image and release “a little time in a pure state” (Deleuze 1989: xi). Due to the stark emptiness of these spaces and their anonymity, characters or images will no longer be embedded in movement but instead become detached into time.

Full textAbstract:
In contrast to the integral photograms of cinema, the images of a post-cinematic media regime are dividual, their forms discorrelated from molar subjectivity, their forces molecular, and their agencies of the order of metabolism rather than perception or cognition.1 It is in these terms that I have sought to understand the differences between cinematic and post-cinematic media (Denson 2016), and I have thereby made appeal to a somewhat Deleuzian framework—essentially situating the post-cinematic image as a medium, vector, or agent of the control society, complicit in the dividuation and modulation of subjects and their experiential and agential capacities under post-Fordist or neoliberal capitalism, as suggestively described by Deleuze in his famous “Postscript on the Societies of Control” (1992). But what are the means and mechanisms by which discorrelated, “dividuated” images are supposed to affect us?

Full textAbstract:
In his “Postscript on Control Societies,” Deleuze notably refers to a “mutation of capitalism” as one of the key characteristics of the post-disciplinary regime he terms control society. “The operation of markets,” he writes, “is now the instrument of social control and forms the impudent breed of our masters” (1992: 6). In the following essay, I will focus on a section of the economy in which this mutation is especially visible: the realm of finance, which in recent years has assumed an increasingly political and governmental function.

Schleusener, Simon. "Deleuze and Neoliberalism." Universität Leipzig, 2020. https://ul.qucosa.de/id/qucosa%3A72860.
Full textAbstract:
The following essay takes the topic of this special issue as an opportunity to not just investigate Deleuze’s “Postscript on Control Societies,” but to look more generally at the text’s place within his work as a whole. Indeed, as various authors have observed, there are a number of aspects that clearly distinguish the essay from the bulk of Deleuze’s other writings. First, what the Postscript aims at is a very direct and immediate “diagnosis of the present” (Foucault 1999: 91). Despite its brevity, the essay therefore entails a wide-ranging account of the (social, economic, cultural, and technological) ‘system’ which was about to take hold when Deleuze wrote the essay (1990) – and which still seems pervasive today. Second, the Postscript represents one of the few instances where Deleuze addresses new media, the digital, cyberspace, and computers: technologies, that is, which in the last few decades have thoroughly transformed the world we live in (cf. Galloway 2012). Third, while Deleuze is usually considered to be a thinker of affirmative creation and a joyous politics of difference and becoming, the Postscript may be the text that most evidently lends itself to discovering not only a more contemporary, but also a somewhat ‘darker’ Deleuze (cf. Culp 2016). For although it underlines the necessity of “finding new weapons” and developing “new forms of resistance” – pointing out that the question is not “whether the old or new system is harsher or more bearable” (Deleuze 1995: 178) – one can argue that the Postscript’s general perspective and tone is in fact more bleak and pessimistic than most of Deleuze’s other writings.

Full textAbstract:
In his “Postscript on the Societies of Control”, which was written 30 years ago in 2020, Gilles Deleuze leaves us with the diagnosis that a profound transformation of society and capitalism has taken place: having left behind the disciplinary societies, which Foucault analysed (cf. Foucault 1975), after World War II, we are now living in societies of control that are inseparably connected to a new form of capitalism (cf. Deleuze 1992: 3-4, 6). This transformation of society has led to a “generalized crisis in relation to all the environments of enclosure” (Deleuze 1992: 3-4) which were being reshaped through various reforms, resulting in “the installation of the new forces” (1992: 4), that is, the “progressive and dispersed installation of a new system of domination” (1992: 7). Apparently, Deleuze’s clairvoyant idea of the society of control seems to have come true: we no longer need to imagine science fiction, since contemporary reality is already structured by digitised control mechanisms of multiple sorts and characters. Many of our social, economic, and political actions in both public and private everyday life are at least influenced or even caused by algorithms. Several of these algorithms may make our lives more convenient, especially in terms of the possibilities of the Internet, such as deterritorialised connection, access to information, and shared technological knowledge. However, in the “age of algorithm” (Sunstein 2017: 3), most areas of digitised reality based on ‘big data’, like social media, financial markets, smart technologies, or artificial intelligence systems are characterised by anonymity, non-transparency, and undemocratic structures which appear like asymmetrical mechanisms for controlling individuals. The function of algorithms enables all kinds of political and private organisations, like companies and governments, to evaluate patterns of individual behaviour and actions and to handle them as impersonal, general, and – in the Deleuzean idiom – dividualised facets of reality (cf. Baranzoni 2016: 45-46): a reality that is rather to be calculated in capitalistic terms than to be created and to be designed by human beings themselves (e.g. as political actors).

Full textAbstract:
In his short paper “Postscript on Control Societies” (Deleuze 1995: 177-82), Gilles Deleuze offered one of the most searing diagnoses of contemporary society critical theory has produced. Three decades later, this essay remains remarkable for its prescience, especially when one considers that the World Wide Web was not in existence at the time that Deleuze wrote his essay, let alone smart phones and social media. Now that we’re beginning to understand the impact of global corporations such as Facebook and Alphabet (Google’s parent company), it could be argued that the essay speaks to today’s technological reality even more incisively than it did thirty years ago. Deleuze identified some of the key principles and logics at work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with the contributions of certain tendencies in architecture to the operation of contemporary modalities of power, especially in respect of its processes of subjectivation. Focused upon the mechanisms of what the philosopher Gilles Deleuze termed a ‘society of control’, it also attends to the presentation by figures prominent within architectural theory and practice—through their own translations of Deleuze, and his writings with Félix Guattari, as well as their mobilisations of ‘complexity theory’—of their servicing of this emergent mode of power as being in some way ‘progressive’. Naming this tendency in contemporary architectural discourse and practice ‘architectural Deleuzism’, and drawing upon a range of thought including that of Deleuze and Guattari themselves, as well as the work of Michel Foucault, the Frankfurt School and more contemporary critical perspectives, I contest its claims to the progressive in any sense other than that in which it serves the advancement of the marketisation of everyday life, its conditions of precarity, and its concomitant instrumentalisation of the communicative and affective capacities of human subjectivity. This critique is pursued through an analysis of the ways in which figures such as Zaha Hadid, Patrik Schumacher, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, Farshid Moussavi and Jeff Kipnis, in their mobilisations of conceptual figures drawn from the thought of Deleuze and Guattari, have attempted to annul the practice of critique within architectural culture so as to clear the ground for a ‘post-critical’ affirmation of architecture’s contributions to corporate, entrepreneurial and governmental operations. I also attend, as the means through which to contest this affirmation, to the analysis of key architectural projects in the fields of industrial manufacture, office work, education, consumerism and media production, and the orientation of their design toward the production of swarm-modelled labourers, ‘citizen-consumers’, ‘nomadic’ student-entrepreneurs and re-engineered publics.

Full textAbstract:
Animals are good to think with, or so they say. And animal totems have consistently found a hospitable ecosystem in Continental Philosophy. From Isaiah Berlin’s fox and hedgehog, to Friedrich Nietzsche’s menagerie of eagles and asses, to Donna Haraway’s companion species, different critters have been put to work at the service of The Concept. In Deleuze’s influential essay, “Postscript on the Societies of Control,” we encounter two particular animals: the mole and the serpent. (“We have passed from one animal to the other, from the mole to the serpent, in the system under which we live, but also in our manner of living and in our relations with others.” [2011: 140f]) The former is the emblem of the disciplinary society, which, according to Deleuze’s argument, is evolving swiftly into a control society, overseen by the oily coilings of the latter. What to make of this totemic distinction? What can the mole and the serpent tell us about the present moment, thirty years after Deleuze released them into our minds in this context? Since it is hardly more than a suggestive throw-away line in the original piece, we can only speculate.

Full textAbstract:
My thesis explores changes in media technologies and the way alternative media affect the dynamics of power in totalitarian societies. How totalitarian states respond to these media trends and the security importance of the information coming from the inside of the totalitarian territory are the main interests of my essay. My primary sources in this research are Animal Farm, a novella by George Orwell; the film The Lives of Others (2006) by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck; and the recently published novel, The Revisionists, by Thomas Mullen. My primary goals in this essay are firstly to argue that the social and political conditions presented in these works match definitions of totalitarian societies. Using my secondary sources, I introduce the main characteristics of totalitarian societies and highlight their mechanism in my primary sources. Secondly, I investigate the role of media in such societies along with technological changes that have added new items to security concerns. Besides reading the reflections of reality in fictional presentations in some cases, I give examples from the 21st century world that we are living in and argue that it is an extension of the conditions presented in Animal Farm and The Lives of Others.

Full textAbstract:
In his 2011 article "Florida Reformers Got It Right," William Mattox uses his son Richard as an example of the benefits of hybrid education, or blended learning, which allows students to combine traditional classroom-based instruction with online schooling. Mattox only briefly praises the benefits of his son's opportunity for customized instruction, and he never tells his reader about the types of classes his son took, or how those classes helped his son reach greater achievements in co llege. Instead, he focuses his attention and (and about half his word count) on the network of acquaintances his son was able to develop by choosing a hybrid schooling option, in tum celebrating how those social relationships helped his son succeed in a voter-based talent contest, where the person with the most "likes" wins the award. Hybrid schooling might provide an excellent, customized education for its students, but its more significant feature, according to Mattox, seems to be the way it allows students to create a network where they can tap into a diverse group of markets to leverage the value of their personalities to become successful. While the hybrid schooling experience of Richard Maddox is not typical of most students, the importance of one's personal network and popularity as a form of social currency are typical of students in contemporary classrooms.
Students in school today are learning much more than the standard reading, writing, and arithmetic, and they are learning it in different ways. Gone are the days of the distinct public and private spheres where school, work, and home were each given clearly defined spaces. Since the early 1990s, the home has been increasingly intruded upon as technological innovation and the continued growth of the internet have allowed employees and students to work from places other than the office or school (most notably, the home), redefining not only the location, but also the time of work. Work does not need to end at five o'clock, or school at 3:30, because employees and students can complete their work at whatever time is most appropriate to them.
Now, more than twenty years after these mobile technologies began their assault on the home, the insulated and separate spheres of home, work, and school are almost completely obliterated. Gilles Deleuze predicted this breakdown in his 1995 "Postscript on Control Societies" in which he asserted that we would welcome the "ultrarapid forms of free-floating control" (178) that have developed to replace those clearly defined spaces. One-to-one programs and instructional models which put a computer or tablet in the hands of every child in a classroom are radically changing the fundamental structures of pedagogy and the roles of educators and students alike in twenty-first century classrooms. These classrooms not only reveal a shift in the way knowledge is transferred and acquired, they reveal a complete transformation in the society for which those pupils are being prepared. The specific closed spaces of Michel Foucault's disciplinary society, each with its individual rules and roles, have evolved into one of greater openness. The shift from the classroom as a closed space to an open, networked place replicates this shift in the larger society of global capitalism. These changes seem to indicate a freer environment that requires less work from the teacher and less concentration from the students, but it actually creates a more controlled environment where more is required of both teachers and students inside of the classroom and out. However, though these increased requirements are perhaps the most obvious outcome of this shift, they are not the only outcome. More significantly, this emerging system of education allows for the development of a new type of student--one who accepts that the creation of her subjectivity is not limited to the classroom, and who actually becomes involved in the formation of that subjectivity through her conflated roles as consumer and producer. Technology is not just opening the classroom. It is repurposing the classroom so that the students' personalities and subjectivities become subsumed in the process of education in preparation for their adult professional lives.

Boyi, Bukata Bala. "Evolutionary optimisation for Volt-VAR power quality control." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3882/.
Full textAbstract:
With the more environmentally friendly smart grid initiatives during the past few years, intelligent operation and optimisation of the electricity distribution system have received an increasing attention in power system research worldwide. Power flow from the distribution substation to the customer can be optimised at Volt-Ampere-Reactive (VAR) level by reducing the reactive power. Distributed Generation (DG) and Renewable Energy Sources (RES) represent both the broadest potentials and the broadest challenges for intelligent distribution systems and smart grid control. In general, the flexibility envisaged by integrating RES during smart grid transformation is often surrounded by nonlinearities such as wave-form deformations caused by harmonic currents or voltages, which impliedly increase control system complexity. Therefore, conventional controllers presently implemented need to be re-engineered in order to solve power quality (PQ) problems therein. This work aims to improve the controllability of Distribution Static Compensators (DSTATCOMs) through the development of improved control systems using evolu- tionary computation enabled design automation and optimisation. The resultant Volt-VAR Control (VVC) optimises PQ in the presence of nonlinearities and uncertainties. It also aims at increasing overall system’s sensitivity to unconsidered parameters in the design stage like measurement noise, unmodelled dynamics and disturbances. This is otherwise known as the robustness of the system offering it with valuable potential for future smart grids control, which are anticipated to present more nonlinearities due to virtual power plant (VPP) configuration. According to European Project FENIX, a Virtual Power Plant (VPP) aggregates the capacity of many diverse Distributed Energy Resources (DER), it creates a single operating profile from a composite of the parameters characterizing each DER and can incorporate the impact of the network on aggregate DER output. To particularly solve PQ problems, two objectives are realised in this thesis. First, a non-deterministic evolutionary algorithm (EA) is adopted to generate optimum fuzzy logic controllers for DSTATCOMs. This design methodology extends the traditional computer-aided-design (CAD) to computer-automated-design (CAutoD), which provides a unified solution to diverse PQ problems automatically and efficiently. While realizing this objective, the prediction ability of the derivative term in a proportional and derivative (PD) controller is improved by placing a rerouted derivative filter in the feedback path to tame ensuing oscillations. This method is then replicated in a fuzzy PD scheme and is automated through the capability of a “generational” tuning using evolutionary algorithm. Fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) are rule-based systems which are designed around a fuzzy rule base (RB) related through an inference engine by means of fuzzy implication and compositional procedures. RBs are normally formulated in linguistic terms, in the form of if ... then rules which can be driven through various techniques. Fundamentally, the correct choice of the membership functions of the linguistic set defines the performance of an FLC. In this context, a three rule-base fuzzy mapping using Macvicar-Whelan matrix has been incorporated in this scheme to reduce the computational cost, and to avoid firing of redundant rules. The EA-Fuzzy strategy is proven to overcome the limitation of conventional optimisation which may be trapped in local minima, as the optimisation problem is often multi-modal. The second objective of the thesis is the development of a novel advanced model-free predictive control (MFPC) system for DSTATCOMs through a deterministic non-gradient algorithm. The new method uses its “look-ahead” feature to predict and propose solutions to anticipated power quality problems before they occur. A describing function augmented DSTATCOM regime is so arranged in a closed-loop fashion to locate limit cycles for settling the systems nonlinearities in a model-free zone. Predictive control is performed upon the online generated input-output data-set through the power of a non-gradient simplex algorithm. The strategy is to boycott the usage of a system model which is often based on gradient information and may thus be trapped in a local optimum or hindered by noisy data. As a model-free technique, the resultant system offers the advantage of reduction in system modelling or identification, which is often inaccurate, and also in computational load, since it operates directly on raw data from a direct online procession while at the same time dealing with a partially known system normally encountered in a practical industrial problem. Steady-state and dynamic simulations of both control and simulation models in Matlab/Simulink environment demonstrate the superiority of the new model-free approach over the traditional trial-and-error based methods. The method has been varified to offer faster response speed and shorter settling time at zero overshoot when compared to existing methods. A SimPowerSystems software simulation model is also developed to check experimental validity of the designs. Where specific PQ problems such as harmonics distortion, voltage swells, voltage sags and flicker are solved. A noticeable record level of THD reduction to 0.04% and 0.05% has respectively been achieved. It is therefore safe to recommend to the industry the implementation of this model-free predictive control scheme at the distribution level. As the distribution system metamorphoses into decen- tralised smart grid featuring connectivity of virtual power plants mostly through power electronic converters, e.g., DSTATCOM, it stands to benefit from the full Volt-VAR automated controllability of the MFPCs low control rate. Based on CAutoD, the practical implementation of this technique is made possible through digital prototyping within the real-time workshop to automatically generate C or C++ codes from Simulink, which executes continuous and discrete time models directly on a vast range of computer applications. Its overall wired closed-loop structure with the DSTATCOM would offer reliable and competitive advantages over its PID and SVC (CAD-based) counterparts currently being implemented through physical prototyping, in terms of; quick product-to-market pace, reduced hardwire size, small footprint, maintenance free as it is model-free (and automated), where pickling the controller timers and model contingencies are unnecessary as would be with the conventional controllers. More importantly, the scheme performs the aforementioned control functions robustly at a high speed in the range of 0.005 → 0.01 seconds. High enough to capture and deal with any ensuing PQ problem emanating from changes in customer’s load and system disturbances in an environmentally friendly, but less grid-friendly renewable generators.

Full textAbstract:
In what French philosopher Gilles Deleuze labelled Control Societies, mechanisms reminiscent of censorship – that is, restriction of information that administrators of power wish to regulate the spreading of – are present in the concept of copyright. This kind of censorship has theadvantage of not being scrutinized by public eyes in the way that the work of institutionalized censorship agencies such as the Swedish Statens Biografbyrå was. It is not unlikely that expanded possibilities for punishing anyone who spreads copyrighted material will result in larger and larger areas that may not be accessed, as the avoiding of conflict and repressive actions will emphasize the behaviour to take detours around information that is deemed taboo and therefore suspicious and dangerous. The ACTA trade agreement is one proposed tool for such extended possibilities for punishment. This essay does not however claim that copyright and censorship are the same – but rather that the institutional execution of power that was previously a matter of state censorship has a lot of similarities with current and prognosticated application of copyright laws by corporations. While claiming to protect the individual, the disciplinary power executed actually aims to protect the one executing it; the purpose of the power structure is to replicate itself.

Full textAbstract:
Deleuze’s short essay on the societies of control has, one could say, infected thought on the present. Few serious reflections on today’s media society seem immune against the plausibility and evidence of Deleuze’s deliberations, not least because they use the force of abstraction to draw theoretical concepts from empirical facts, allowing for an anticipation of future developments without getting lost in details. Deleuze argues that a society whose media and technologies provide an apparatus of seamless connectivity and global scope has irreversible effects on the way we perceive, think, and create order. At the same time, the naturalization of these effects progresses via retroaction – making us forget it has ever been different. With his text, Deleuze stands in the midst of this naturalization and neutralization process: This may be why it is inevitably a “postscript” to the societies of control – it takes the artificial position of the “post” in order to be able to look at one’s own contemporary culture from an alienating distance, as Foucault once demanded for every description of the present (1999: 91). This “post,” then, by no means signals a retrospective look at a process already completed; instead, Deleuze gives an exaggerated account of the early digitization age from an artificial retrospective standpoint, which, ironically, will also have been one “after” writing.

Supervisory communication carries the control through MARK II controller, common controller for the PUMA robots, to a standard PC, enabling the development of purpose specific control programming without the knowledge of the VAL (Variable Assembly Language), robot-programming language. Using the
supervisory communication feature of PUMA, new control software has been developed in which both VAL commands and interactive control commands can be executed simultaneously. The supervisory communication with the control software enables exploitation of third party applications and additional operating system features.
The supervisory communication uses the Digital Data Communications Message Protocol (DDCMP). The frame structure of data messages, which is specific to PUMA robots, is fitted into this protocol. The messages embedded into DCMP are actually logical units, having different abilities and features. Data messages are formed with the interactive control software according to execution requests of the user.
This thesis explains the implementation of the communication without using the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Checking) on the remote computer side and the data messages formed with the interactive control software, which also enables the use of sensory inputs (camera, infrared, sound, color information) to be used for the robot motion control.

O tema geral desta pesquisa são as tecnologias que permitem o controle de acesso, vigilância, monitoramento e identificação de pessoas, e que se aliam a construção de bancos de dados e perfis sobre a população. Neste amplo universo, a tecnologia biométrica para identificação foi focalizada a partir de um estudo de caso sobre o novo documento biométrico de identidade brasileiro: o Registro de Identidade Civil. Retomando o conceito de dispositivo em Michel Foucault, buscou-se trazer a tona os discursos, as instituições, as leis, o debate legal, as medidas, decisões, e enunciados científicos que configuram o funcionamento do poder na atualidade. No âmbito das ciências, a biometria hoje distancia-se da antropometria e das formas de identificação do século XIX, vinculando-se a um exercício do poder que não é mais aquele para disciplinar os corpos (Michel Foucault), mas para gerir os fluxos de dados, um corpo de dados. As novas tecnologias focalizadas apontam para um exercício do poder mais próximo do que Gilles Deleuze chamou de sociedades de controle.This research focus on technologies that are enabled to access control, surveillance, monitoring and identification of persons, connected with databases and profiles construction on the population. In this vast universe, the biometric technology for identification has been focused from a case study on the new biometric identity document Brazil: the Civil Identity Register. Based on the Foucaults concept of apparatus, this reasearch aimed to bring out the discourses, institutions, laws, the legal debate, measures, decisions, and scientific statements that configure the operation of power today. Within the sciences, biometrics today area distanced itself from anthropometry and forms of identification of the nineteenth century. This is related with an exercise of power that is no longer that to discipline their bodies (Michel Foucault), but to manage the data flows, or a \"body of data. New technologies are related with an exercise of power closer to what Gilles Deleuze called societies of control.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho consiste essencialmente no esforço de tentar esclarecer dois pontos no pensamento de Gilles Deleuze: a idéia de dívida, ou os mecanismos que estão por trás das suas manifestações, efeitos e desdobramentos, com os diferentes dispositivos de soberania e a passagem das sociedades disciplinares para a sociedade contemporânea de controle. Tem por objetivo desenvolver uma investigação a partir das manifestações da idéía de dívida nas mais variadas esferas da sociedade e demonstrar as diversas alterações que esta perspectiva foi alterando as suas disposições, a partir do aprimoramento das relações comerciais, até produzir o que entendemos hoje como um pensamento econômico. Partindo destas relações, esta dissertação demonstra o papel da dívida no desenvolvimento das sociedades disciplinares e na passagem das sociedades disciplinares para as sociedades contemporâneas de controle, localiza as alterações que esta idéia sofreu para continuar a trabalhar as relações de força existentes nas questões referentes à soberania e o seu projeto de transcendência no pensamento ocidental.This paper is essentially about an effort to clarify two issues on Gilles Deleuzes thought: the idea of debt, or the mechanisms behind its manifestations, effects and developments, with the different devices of sovereignty and the crossing of disciplinary societies to contemporary societies of control. It aims at developing an investigation from the manifestations of the concept of debt in many levels of society and at showing the many altered dispositions occurred from this perspective, from the improvement of trade deals to the production of what we currently understand as an economic thought. Considering these deals, this dissertation demonstrates the role of debt in the development of disciplinary societies and in the crossing of disciplinary societies to contemporary societies control. Also, it points out the changes this concept has passed throught in order to keep working on the relations of existing forces in issues regarding to sovereignty and its project of transcendence in occidental thought.

Este estudo consiste em uma reflexão sobre as relações e práticas escolares em meio aos modos de subjetivação que vem ganhando ênfase no século XXI. A pesquisa parte da premissa que a subjetividade e os fazeres que a constituem vem deixando de estar vinculados exclusivamente ao poder disciplinar, e passam a obter contornos mais flexíveis, com o advento da sociedade de controle. A instituição escolar foi idealizada com o objetivo de formar os sujeitos através da disciplina, e agora, diante da maior flexibilização nos modos de subjetivação, parece se tornar uma instituição anacrônica, e faz uso de algumas tentativas para flexibilização de suas práticas. O presente trabalho busca promover a reflexão sobre o lugar da escola no século XXI, bem como uma visão contextualizada do modelo educacional formal que vem ganhando destaque no discurso atual. A abordagem utilizada compõe uma pesquisa bibliográfica, que pretende explanar, ao longo da reflexão, autores que se propuseram a analisar, descrever e diagnosticar o panorama em questão. A pesquisa não apresenta algum tipo conclusão fechada, ao contrário, almeja causar inquietações na busca por formas de educação que façam sentido para o aluno do século XXI.This study consists of a reflection on school and its practices in the context of the modes of subjectivity that emerge in this beginning of XXI century. We start from the premise that subjectivities are no longer exclusively submitted to the disciplinary mechanisms; with the advent of the societies of control, they receive more flexible contours. The school was designed to form subjects through discipline, and, trying not to become an anachronistic institution, makes use of some flexible practices. The present work aims at highlighting the reflexive practice about the school positioning in the XXI century, as well as the contextualized view of the formal educational model that has been emphasized in the current discourse. The present work is a literature research on the work of some contemporary authors - like G. Deleuze, Paula Sibilia and Cristina Corea - that intend to analyze, describe and diagnose the present situation. The research does not intend to presents closed and definite conclusions, but rather to raise relevant questions for todays education.

Full textAbstract:
Technology has provided the means for the creation of many tools to facilitate the teaching and learning of foreign languages. These tools include computer programs designed to aid language learning by providing various levels of control to the language learner. This control allows the learner to make decisions regarding some or all of the elements of a program such as the pace, sequence, and content to name but a few. Because the amount of learner control can be varied, many research efforts have sought to determine the optimal level of control for learning. These efforts have produced mixed results, with some research suggesting that learners perform better with less control while other findings suggest the opposite. The purpose of this research was to investigate the use of remediation, a computer-adaptive control, in Swahili 101 university level courses and its effect on achievement and time. Participants included Swahili language learners from two universities, three colleges, and one student not affiliated with any school. The study required that participants complete a pretest, a background survey, the Swahili 101 online lesson materials, and an opinion survey. “Gate pages," or webpage-based assessments, were used throughout the online course to assess participant progress. The participants were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Those in the control group completed the online component at their own discretion, working through assigned tasks with review as desired. Those in the experimental group were required to obtain a minimum score on each lesson's gate page in order to advance in the lesson and thus in the course. If that score was not met, then the software assigned a series of remediation or review pages. Scores from the gate pages and time spent on the gate pages were stored and analyzed for both groups. The results from this study suggest that language learners benefit from computer intervention and guidance (remediation). The participants in the experimental group learned more Swahili than the control group, despite spending the same amount of time on the gate pages as the control group. Therefore, remediation, as defined and implemented in this study, can increase language learning while at the same time not requiring the learners to significantly increase the initial time they spend responding to questions presented on the gate pages.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims at examining the class experiences of subcontracted cleaning workers who work in student dormitories on the METU campus. It focuses on the working conditions of workers and control mechanisms in the dormitories in terms of their effects on class consciousness and future dreams of the workers. In addition, the study examines how workers experience class as a matter of self- respect in their workplaces, how they cope with haughtiness of students, the
managers and the regular employees, how they explain social inequalities and whether they accept them as legitimate. The role of gender in workers&rsquoeveryday lives is also mentioned. The study argues that university dormitories on the METU campus with their fragmented labor regime, and managerial tendencies, which treat the students as customers, are significant places for the observation of how class differences are experienced by the subcontracted workers. In regard to these issues, the field research of the study was conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 23 subcontracted cleaning workers in 12 different dormitories on the METU campus.

Previous issue date: 2013-02-28The study examined the characteristics of the controller identified in cooperative societies to complement the studies of researchers linked to the accounting features and functions on the controller. The approach in the agribusiness segment is justified by its economic representativeness in Brazil and the type of cooperative society by corporate structuring. The technique predominantly qualitative approach in defining the profile of research, this, is structured from the perspective of exploratory and descriptive typology. The research instruments adopted for construction of the dissertation highlights the direct and indirect structured interviews. The research sought to understand the practices used by companies controlling most of Paran?? agribusiness cooperatives, and what is its adherence to the basic conceptual framework of controllership - ECBC proposal by Borinelli (2006). The multiple case study researched the top five cooperative societies in the state, justified by the same accessibility through the pre-test used in two of them and their representation in the regional economy and Brazil. The research corroborated with qualitative studies on the phenomenon as controllership management unit and its functions, and identified important points for the treatment of basic conceptual framework. The research concluded that in cooperatives, no adhesion by typical roles within the Basic Conceptual Structure of Controllership (ECBC) as defends Borinelli (2006). In the case of clusters studied in conceptual structure, the basic examination in five cases evidenced by partial adhesion in two cases and by not applying in other, therefore allows us to conclude that the framework does not apply to cooperatives

Beginning with the second half of the twentieth century, rockets, satellites, probes, spacecraft, and space stations have allowed for the occupation of Earth's orbit and achievement of space travel to nearby locations to Earth. Driven by the arms race, space technology projected war and politics into orbit, establishing the first planetary monitoring systems, initially used to spy on missiles. Interested in contemporaneity, this thesis aims to contribute to the study of societies of control showing their outer space proveniences and stressing the importance of the space event for the configuration of exposed power relations belonging to such societies. Besides being taken from its ascendant perspective, in the sense of abandoning the planet, the outer space event should also be analyzed according to its downward movement, in other words, taking into account its drifts, especially the spin-offs that it produces and that can not be reduced to products or socio-economic benefits, but also imply political resizing of the governing of the planet and life. Among the political spin-offs arising from the outer space event we focus on the emergence of the planet-body, which becomes the aim of ecopolitics investment for control societies. The outer space event was decisive to the point that societies of control configured an intelligibility of Earth which understands it as a planet that is fragile when managed. From the administration of state violence to the management of climate change, we present the functioning of a planetary governmentality which seeks to guarantee the safety of transterritorial flows established with the expansion of neoliberalism also on a global scale
A partir da segunda metade do século XX, foguetes, satélites, sondas, espaçonaves e estações espaciais permitiram a ocupação da órbita terrestre e a realização de viagens espaciais a localidades próximas da Terra. Impulsionadas pela corrida armamentista, as tecnologias espaciais projetaram a guerra e a política para a órbita, instaurando os primeiros sistemas planetários de monitoramento, incialmente utilizados para se espionar mísseis. Interessada na contemporaneidade, esta tese pretende contribuir para os estudos sobre as sociedades de controle evidenciando suas procedências siderais e ressaltando a importância do acontecimento espacial para a configuração das relações de poder a céu aberto próprias a estas sociedades. Além de ser tomado em sua perspectiva ascendente, no sentido de abandonar o planeta, o acontecimento espaço sideral também deve ser analisado segundo o seu movimento descendente, ou seja, levando em consideração suas derivas, principalmente os spin-offs (derivações) que produz e que não se reduzem a produtos ou a benefícios socioeconômicos, mas também implicam em redimensionamentos políticos do governo do planeta e da vida. Dentre os spin-offs políticos que derivam do acontecimento sideral destacamos nesta tese a emergência do corpo-planeta, que se torna o alvo de investimentos da ecopolítica das sociedades de controle. O acontecimento sideral foi decisivo para que as sociedades de controle configurassem uma inteligibilidade da Terra que a toma como um frágil planeta a ser gerenciado. Da administração dos estados de violência à gestão das mudanças climáticas, apresentamos neste trabalho o funcionamento de uma governamentalidade planetária que procura garantir a segurança dos fluxos transterritoriais instaurados com a expansão do neoliberalismo também em escala planetária

Significant changes in market behavior arouse the need to adopt new processes and
management tools in order to make organizations more competitive and sustainable. Tálamo
and Carvalho (2004) to denote the creation of a new economic order based on the structuring
of different ways regarding the management and organizational control. In this perspective
Pinheiro and Silva (2010, p. 3) indicate that the cooperative has evolved and conquered their
own space, defined by a new way of thinking man's labor and social development . Thus, the
overall goal of this work is to identify and analyze the system management tools and internal
control of a cooperative in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, proposing a theoretical model
applicable to that type of organization . In order to provide the framework for knowledge
needed to develop this work, we took the theoretical model of cooperative management
proposed by Oliveira (2006). Associated with the management, we investigated the internal
control procedures, defined by Crepaldi (2007). The methodological contribution this study
was a qualitative study, based on field research procedures, descriptive and exploratory. The
method was case study allowed investigation of deep theoretical and its practical applicability
in the context of a cooperative. The techniques were adopted methodological collection,
analysis and organization of data. To obtain answers regarding the issue were used interviews,
questionnaires, document analysis and direct observation. Primarily for the analysis of the
results were taken as some techniques: classification, categorization, tabulation, statistical
quantitative percentage and essentially content analysis. Finally, based on this detailed
account of the results, on the model of cooperative management and internal control tools
practiced by Cooperative, concluded categorically that the methods, routines, procedures,
activities, as well as all organizational assembly caters largely to the theoretical model
proposed by Oliveira (2006) and, to a lesser degree, related to a medium degree, the model
Crepaldi (2007) as being necessary and crucial for organizations embedded in dynamic and
competitive markets, aiming at sustainability of its business in all fields. This all gave
effective conditions so that one could propose a theoretical model applicable to cooperative
that included the cooperative doctrine, organizational management and internal control.As mudanças significativas no comportamento do mercado despertam a necessidade da adoção de novos processos e ferramentas de gestão de modo a tornar as organizações mais competitivas e sustentáveis. Tálamo e Carvalho (2004) denotam para a criação de uma nova ordem econômica, com base na estruturação de formas diferenciadas quanto à gestão e controle organizacional. Nessa perspectiva Pinheiro e Silva (2010, p. 3) assinalam que o cooperativismo evoluiu e conquistou um espaço próprio, definido por uma nova forma de pensar do homem, do trabalho e do desenvolvimento social . Dessa forma, o objetivo geral desse trabalho é identificar e analisar o sistema de gestão e as ferramentas de controle interno de uma cooperativa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, propondo um modelo teórico aplicável a esse tipo de organização . Com o intuito de oferecer o arcabouço de conhecimentos necessários para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho, tomou-se como referencial teórico o modelo de gestão de cooperativas proposto por Oliveira (2006). Associado à gestão foram investigados os procedimentos de controle interno, definidos por Crepaldi (2007). Em termos metodológicos esse trabalho teve como aporte uma pesquisa qualitativa, apoiada em procedimentos de pesquisa de campo, descritiva e exploratória. O método foi estudo de caso que permitiu a investigação profunda dos aspectos teóricos e sua aplicabilidade no contexto prático de uma cooperativa. As técnicas metodológicas adotadas foram coleta, análise e organização dos dados. Para obtenção das respostas relativas ao problema foram utilizadas entrevistas, questionários, análise documental e observação direta. Essencialmente para a análise dos resultados foram adotadas algumas técnicas como: classificação, categorização, tabulação, estatística quantitativa percentual e, essencialmente, análise de conteúdo. Por fim, com base nesse relato pormenorizado dos resultados, acerca do modelo de gestão da cooperativa e das ferramentas de controle interno praticadas pela Cooperativa, concluiu-se, categoricamente que as metodologias, as rotinas, os procedimentos, as atividades, bem como todo o conjunto organizacional atende em grande parte ao modelo teórico proposto por Oliveira (2006) e, em grau menor, ou seja, referente a um grau médio, ao modelo de Crepaldi (2007), como sendo necessários e de fundamental importância para as organizações inseridas em mercados dinâmicos e competitivos, com vistas à sustentabilidade de seus negócios em todos os campos de atuação. Isso tudo deu condições efetivas para que se pudesse propor um modelo teórico aplicável à cooperativa que contemplou a doutrina cooperativa, gestão organizacional e controle interno.

This dissertation aims to identify and analyze power relations passing through the coverage of police actions in the Brazilian television, more specifically on the Brasil Urgente program, aired by Bandeirantes TV Station since 2001. In order to do that, the theoretical contributions of Michel Foucault regarding the construction of abnormals, security practices, and dispositifs, as well as those by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari related to the agencements and the societies of control were used. For doing this, thirty editions aired between 05/10/2010 and 07/01/2010 were collected and their reports were analyzed in order to portray how this program promotes meetings with power, how abnormals are created, which practices of security are disseminated through this discourse, and, finally, how this kind of coverage presents practices from the societies of discipline and control

Problemas de como se dà a relaÃÃo de Arte, instituiÃÃes e mercadoria, de como pensar a ResistÃncia Ãs ârelaÃÃes de poderâ atravÃs das artes, e de como criar novos modos de existÃncia partindo da criaÃÃo, da reinvenÃÃo da EducaÃÃo, do olhar crÃtico em torno das âSociedades de controleâ (conceito pensado por Deleuze), sÃo colocados em discussÃo durante todo o trabalho. Em quase um ano de intervenÃÃo junto ao ELAS, vÃrias ideias e problemas foram pensados e muita Arte foi realizada, numa tentativa de se fazer guerrilha, de criar mundos e de compor vidas, com as prÃticas artÃsticas que buscam inquietar, desterritorializando o sistema educacional tradicional, numa preocupaÃÃo Ãtica e social com o mundo que se faz presente. E num certo erotismo de engajamento polÃtico, a Arte que à produzida dentro de coletivos (onde, na dÃcada de 90, houve uma explosÃo destes coletivos, no Brasil) como no ELAS, com as inspiraÃÃes vindas desde à dÃcada de 30, tÃm nos feito buscar o que se pode ter como livre, em oposiÃÃo Ãs relaÃÃes desenvolvidas no sistema capitalista, pensando e compondo uma âestÃtica da existÃnciaâ, colocada por Foucault (1994), e que podemos visualizar na obra de Hakim Bey(2005) em Zonas AutÃnomas temporÃrias(TAZ) e de Luther Blisset (2001) nas criaÃÃes de mito, em âguerrilhas psÃquicasâ, em aÃÃes de furto como no coletivo Yomango , e âterrorismos poÃticosâ, prÃticas que questionam as relaÃÃes de poderes, e que sÃo formas criativas, subversivas, impactantes e novas, de se fazer polÃtica e de se viver a prÃpria vida.
This research study presents the actions of the activist artistic movement ELAS (Free School of subversive art) in order to reflect about the way in which the process of art, resistance and education takes place today through artists, artistic collectives and movements. It is through cartography that we establish a link between the art in progress, with its resistance to the traditional research methodologies, and the elaboration of artistic practices that are limited by the State and by private companies, that use their power to influence the subject matter and other demands upon artistic experimentation. The following questions are discussed during the entire project: the current relation between art, institutions and the market, how to conceive the resistance to power through the arts, the construction of new ways of existence departing from the creation process, the reinvention of Education, of the critical view of societies of control ( concept introduced by Deleuze), among others. In almost a year of happenings with ELAS, many ideas and problems were reflected upon and a huge amount of art was made, with the intent of making guerrilla, of creating worlds and composing lives, with artistic practices that aim to awaken, expropriating the educational system, in an ethical and social concern with the world that becomes present. And in a certain eroticism of politicalinvolvement, the art produced in collectives ( there was an explosion of these collectives in Brazil during the 90âs) like ELAS, with inspirations originating since the 30âs, has made us look for what can be seen as free, in relations within contemporary society, looking at the way we take care of ourselves through an existence esthetic, denominated by Foucault, and that can also be seen in Hakim Beyâs work in Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ), in the creation of myth, in psychic guerrillas, in actions of theft like the ones of the collective Yomango, in poetic terrorisms; all of these practices that question the power relations, and creative, subversive, new and impacting ways of doing politics and living your own life.

This research study presents the actions of the activist artistic movement ELAS (Free School of subversive art) in order to reflect about the way in which the process of art, resistance and education takes place today through artists, artistic collectives and movements. It is through cartography that we establish a link between the art in progress, with its resistance to the traditional research methodologies, and the elaboration of artistic practices that are limited by the State and by private companies, that use their power to influence the subject matter and other demands upon artistic experimentation. The following questions are discussed during the entire project: the current relation between art, institutions and the market, how to conceive the resistance to power through the arts, the construction of new ways of existence departing from the creation process, the reinvention of Education, of the critical view of societies of control ( concept introduced by Deleuze), among others. In almost a year of happenings with ELAS, many ideas and problems were reflected upon and a huge amount of art was made, with the intent of making guerrilla, of creating worlds and composing lives, with artistic practices that aim to awaken, expropriating the educational system, in an ethical and social concern with the world that becomes present. And in a certain eroticism of politicalinvolvement, the art produced in collectives ( there was an explosion of these collectives in Brazil during the 90’s) like ELAS, with inspirations originating since the 30’s, has made us look for what can be seen as free, in relations within contemporary society, looking at the way we take care of ourselves through an existence esthetic, denominated by Foucault, and that can also be seen in Hakim Bey’s work in Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ), in the creation of myth, in psychic guerrillas, in actions of theft like the ones of the collective Yomango, in poetic terrorisms; all of these practices that question the power relations, and creative, subversive, new and impacting ways of doing politics and living your own life.
A presente pesquisa expõe ações do movimento de Arte ativista ELAS (Escola Livre de Arte subversiva), para pensar como se dá o processo de Arte, Resistência e Educação hoje, através de artistas, de coletivos e de movimentos de Arte. É por meio da cartografia que estabelecemos uma ligação da Arte em processo, com a Resistência às metodologias de pesquisa tradicionais, e à elaboração de práticas artísticas que são limitadas por editais do Estado, e de empresas privadas, que exercem seus poderes em torno dos temas e de outras demandas que exigem para as experimentações dos artistas. Problemas de como se dá a relação de Arte, instituições e mercadoria, de como pensar a Resistência às “relações de poder” através das artes, e de como criar novos modos de existência partindo da criação, da reinvenção da Educação, do olhar crítico em torno das “Sociedades de controle” (conceito pensado por Deleuze), são colocados em discussão durante todo o trabalho. Em quase um ano de intervenção junto ao ELAS, várias ideias e problemas foram pensados e muita Arte foi realizada, numa tentativa de se fazer guerrilha, de criar mundos e de compor vidas, com as práticas artísticas que buscam inquietar, desterritorializando o sistema educacional tradicional, numa preocupação ética e social com o mundo que se faz presente. E num certo erotismo de engajamento político, a Arte que é produzida dentro de coletivos (onde, na década de 90, houve uma explosão destes coletivos, no Brasil) como no ELAS, com as inspirações vindas desde à década de 30, têm nos feito buscar o que se pode ter como livre, em oposição às relações desenvolvidas no sistema capitalista, pensando e compondo uma “estética da existência”, colocada por Foucault (1994), e que podemos visualizar na obra de Hakim Bey(2005) em Zonas Autônomas temporárias(TAZ) e de Luther Blisset (2001) nas criações de mito, em “guerrilhas psíquicas”, em ações de furto como no coletivo Yomango , e “terrorismos poéticos”, práticas que questionam as relações de poderes, e que são formas criativas, subversivas, impactantes e novas, de se fazer política e de se viver a própria vida.

Beginning in the 1990s, diverse habits, conducts, and daily-life behaviors, when practised in excess, in an uncontrolled or repetitive manner began to be biologized by psychiatry and progressively included in diagnostic manuals of mental disorders. Generically known by the term compulsions, these "new mental disorders" group together thoughts and desires that provoke discomfort, fear, and anxiety the activities whose engagement brings pleasure such as playing, eating, buying, doing physical exercise, working, sex, surfing the internet, using substances that alter perception, relationships, and religion. The emergency of compulsions as a new "epidemic" to be combatted against occurred at the same that psychiatry went through a reformulating process of its practices and knowledge thanks to new computo-informational technologies, the development of modern psychopharmaceuticals, and the incorporation of the contents regarding the mental and human behavior produced by the neurosciences. This research aims to trace a genealogy of compulsions in order to problematize dispositifs of power that operate subjects at the moment when disciplinary societies, analyzed by Michel Foucault, come to be overlapped by control societies, as pointed out by Gilles Deleuze. In this change, the asylum no longer is the principal economy of power in the formatation of subjectivities, in order to be substituted by technologies that operate in open air and result in normalizations of the normal. They are technologies that combine subjections and machinic servitudes, promoting processes of (in)dividuation, and take place on an environment by means of flows of mental health that convokes the policing of "disfunctions", the auto-vigilance of behaviors and conducts, and the formation of organized groupings of carriers of disorders. Understood as unfoldings of neoliberal governamentality, compulsions are configured as one more dispositif of an "era of moderation and moderates" and of the proliferation of the sensations of liberty
A partir dos anos 1990, diversos hábitos, condutas e comportamentos da vida cotidiana, quando praticados em excesso, de maneira descontrolada ou repetitiva passaram a ser biologizados pela psiquiatria e progressivamente incluídos em manuais de diagnósticos de transtornos mentais. Conhecidos genericamente pelo termo compulsões, estes novos transtornos mentais reúnem desde pensamentos e desejos que provocam desconforto, medo e ansiedade a atividades cujo engajamento traz prazer como jogar, comer, comprar, fazer exercícios físicos, trabalhar, sexo, navegar na Internet, usar substâncias que alterem a percepção, relacionamentos e religião. A emergência das compulsões como nova epidemia a ser combatida ocorreu simultaneamente à psiquiatria passar por um processo de reformulação de suas práticas e conhecimentos graças às novas tecnologias computoinformacionais, ao desenvolvimento de modernos psicofármacos e à incorporação de conteúdos sobre o mental e o comportamento humano produzidos pelas neurociências. Esta pesquisa visa traçar uma genealogia das compulsões a fim de problematizar dispositivos de poder que operam assujeitamentos no momento em que as sociedades disciplinares, analisadas por Michel Foucault, passam a ser sobrepostas pelas sociedades de controle, como apontou Gilles Deleuze. Neste deslocamento, o manicômio deixa de ser a principal economia de poder na formatação de subjetividades, para ser substituído por tecnologias que operam a céu aberto e procedem a normalizações do normal. São tecnologias que combinam sujeições e servidões maquínicas, promovendo processos de (in)dividuação, e incidem sobre o ambiente por meio de fluxos da saúde mental que convocam ao policiamento de disfunções , à autovigilância de comportamentos e condutas e à formação de agrupamentos organizados de portadores de transtornos. Entendidas como desdobramentos da governamentalidade neoliberal, as compulsões configuram-se como mais um dispositivo de uma era da moderação e dos moderados em meio à proliferação de sensações de liberdade

Full textAbstract:
Esta dissertação baseia-se em uma pesquisa-intervenção realizada em cinco escolas de nível fundamental e infantil, e em uma escola de ensino especial/ atendimento educacional especializado (AEE) de uma cidade de pequeno porte do interior do Rio de Janeiro, na região sul do estado. O presente trabalho situa-se no contexto das discussões sobre as práticas de medicalização na escola-empresa e nas sociedades de controle, e tem como objetivo a investigação da medicalização e a judicialização como exigências que têm moldado um viés predominante médico-assistencialista ao trabalho do psicólogo, concentrando-se em atendimentos individualizados a alunos e famílias nas escolas públicas. O método adotado é o da cartografia (Deleuze & Guattari). Os conceitos de Medicalização (Conrad, Illitch, Szasz). Controle (Deleuze), e o conceito científico-ficcional de Pré-Crime (Dick) são a coluna vertebral do trabalho. A pesquisa de cunho qualitativo utiliza os referenciais teórico-práticos da análise institucional (AI) e dos estudos da filosofia de diferença, de autores como Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guatarri, assim como a contribuição valiosa de estudiosos mais contemporâneos, como Veiga-Neto, Gallo e Marcondes. Os analisadores dos relatórios pré-crime de medicalização do fracasso escolar, da (in)disciplina e da loucura através funcionam como pistas para as passagens dos diagnósticos para as práticas e modos coletivos de subjetivação, contexto mais amplo que nos conduz à visibilidade das questões do trabalho, da saúde no trabalho no magistério, e às plataformas de alianças coletivas entre técnicos(psicólogos) e não-técnicos (professores) para a construção dos processos de desmedicalização e desmedicalização na Educação.This dissertation is based on a intervention-research conducted in five primary and infant schools, and a special education unit / specialized educational services (ESA) of a small town in the interior of Rio de Janeiro, in the southern the state. This work is in the context of discussions about the practices of medicalization in school-enterprise and the societies of control, and aims to investigate the medicalization and judicialization requirements as a bias that have shaped the predominant medical-welfare work of the psychologist, focusing on individualized care to students and families in public schools. The method adopted is that of cartography (Deleuze & Guattari), and throughout the text, three analyzers are used as clues leading to processes. Concepts of medicalization (Conrad, Illitch, Szasz), Control (Deleuze), and the concept of science-fictional Precrime (Dick) are the backbone of the work. The qualitative research uses the theoretical and practical institutional analysis (IA) and studies of philosophy of difference, by authors such as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, as well as the valuable contribution of more contemporary scholars, as Veiga-Neto, Gallo and Machado, addressing the issues of educational policy of inclusion, and new ways of doing minority-militants education and institutional work of psychologist in education. The questions refer to the analysis of pre-crime reports on medicalization of school failure, the (in) discipline and madness through the respective analyzers, clues to the passage through and far beyond the diagnosis empire, towards practice and collective modes of subjectivity, the broader context in which leads to the visibility of work issues, health at work in teaching, and platforms for collective alliances between technical professionals (psychologists) and nontechnical (teachers) for the construction of the processes of demedicalization and deinstitutionalization in Education.

The aim of this essay is to provide an answer to the question "What is the Meaning of Meaningless sex in Dystopia?". It will show that meaningful concepts such as sexual satisfaction, pleassure, passion, love, bonding, procreation and family are handled as threats in dystopian societies described in well-known novels as We, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four . It will explain how the conflict between the collective and the individual influences peoples' sexuality. It will also show how leading powers in the three dystopian societies use different methods to remove the significanse and functions of sex. It will suggest meaningless sex is a means to control the masses in a collective and that meaningful sex is an act of rebelion against the state..

Full textAbstract:
In the tradition of the Birmingham School of cultural studies, this thesis focuses on Miami’s graffiti subculture and the conflicts between market economies and economies of social meaning. As a reference point, I consider Miami’s “Penits”: the name given to the seemingly abandoned buildings where graffiti is performed. Short for penitentiary, the term derives from the 1980s after a large building rumored to be a prison was defunded midway through its construction. After this first reclamation, every other graffiti heterotopia in Miami has been similarly recoded as spaces that mock structures of discipline and industry.
Through Michel Foucault’s biopolitical framework I argue that the sovereign state and marketplace conspire to dually criminalize and commoditize the subculture’s performative defiance. I conclude by illustrating how the market itself reinforces the carceral archipelago by framing the subculture’s vandal aesthetic through the normalized, self-interested boundaries of conduct that the market itself deems il/legal.

Firearms are not Taiwanese aborigines own invention, but blend into aborigines’ society and culture gradually. This paper describes the process that Taiwanese aborigines how to get firearms, how firearms blend into aborigines culture, and how the modern governments deprived them of firearms. Firearms came from foreign culture for Taiwanese aborigines. Han people smuggled firearms into tribes. Besides, the Qing army also legally or illegally give the firearms to Taiwanese aborigines. But the Taiwanese aborigines are not passively accepted firearms, Han people must follow the Taiwanese aborigines original rules of exchange, or must have the identity of aborigines to exchange or at least need to establish relationships with aborigines. Firearms continue to spread from one tribe to the other tribe with aborigines own exchange networks. When we know how the firearms spread to Taiwanese aborigines, we need to understand the firearms how to use in the Taiwan’s aboriginal culture. Bunun, for example, its Hunting, Head-hunting and Ceremonies use firearms. In Hunting and Head-hunting, firearms are important weapons. In Ceremonies or other cultures, firearms are not only weapons but also have other meaning. Firearms spread from Han people, but Bunun have produced the unique concept of firearms. Therefore, when Bunun meet the modern government, two sides had disagreement on the firearms. The Japanese colonial government is the first modern government for Bunun. Whether it is for the security needs or economic development, or as the colonial government officials claim that it is for help Taiwanese aborigines to depart from hunting. Firearms had become a primary concern of the colonial government. Starting with the investigation, the colonial government clarified the sources of firearms, and then recorded the number of the firearms in the tribes, finally forced all aborigines give up all firearms. Suddenly Bunun lost all of their firearms, in the meantime Bunun started to resist the colonial government. The resistance is much more than the original estimate on the colonial government and lasted for a very long time. Why are the friendly "southern aborigines " suddenly turn into the "violent barbarian "? Maybe it is the firearms collection. The colonial government always defined firearms as weapons witch used in hunting and head-hunting. While the colonial government also agree with firearms is very important in Bunun, but the importance is just for survive. For Bunun, the firearms have more and deeper meanings in their culture. Firearms collection is not just a question of survival but a cultural conflict. Bunun suddenly must had gave up a lot of their culture, and therefore choose to resist the colonial government. In 20 years’ resistance, Bunun lost the war, and then the firearms were controlled by the colonial government. Maybe the colonial government is gone, but the problem is still a problem now.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the participation of women and NGOs in a rural development and empowerment project in India. The World Bank initiated Rural Women’s Development and Empowerment Project was funded with the primary objective of working towards women’s economic and social empowerment through the formation of self-help groups. Within the framework of Gender and Development (GAD), women’s development and participation has to fulfil both practical and strategic gender needs in order for them to gain, share and exercise power. In women’s development, the economic cannot be understood apart from the social and the political. Transformative or genuine participation for women involves a process of partnership where one or more forms of power are attained through social capital and the participants are able to surmount structural barriers. Genuine participation can be achieved only through the processes of partnership and control, that is, through the building of equitable relationships among the primary beneficiaries themselves and between the primary beneficiaries and external agents. The incentives to participate and the pattern of participation are influenced by the material expectations and the social reality of women. (For complete abstract open document)

Full textAbstract:
Os ecrãs estão hoje por toda a parte. No nosso dia-a-dia encontramo-nos cada vez mais
diante deles, e as previsões parecem apontar para a intensificação da tendência. Se a nossa
vida está hoje eminentemente dentro do ecrã, por ele recebendo informação e acedendo ao
outro e ao mundo, através dele construindo narrativas e a própria mundividência, devemos
considerar que essa relação, tendencialmente permanente e ubíqua, influirá sobre as
configurações da sociedade, modelando comportamentos e relações interpessoais.
Para discutir e caracterizar os esquemas de controlo e vigilância possibilitados pela
rede de ecrãs, propomos reflectir acerca das sociedades disciplinares, através de Foucault,
das sociedades de controlo, com Deleuze, e dos seus contributos para pensar a actual
sociedade ocidental, que identificamos como ecranizada. Neste âmbito, revisitamos o
conceito de panóptico, de Jeremy Bentham, identificando a sua existência hoje enquanto
panóptico digital, e dialogando com abordagens próximas, de autores contemporâneos,
nomeadamente Ganascia e Mann, através das noções de sousveillance e catopticon,
inversos da vigilância e do panóptico na sua acepção tradicional. A nossa perspectiva,
porém, distingue-se no posicionamento em relação ao fenómeno, identificando o poder
pela vigilância como algo que circula, disseminado por todo o tecido social, operando-se
em todas as direcções e em simultâneo, a partir do momento em que todos os indivíduos
integram de forma alargada a rede, manejando os seus ecrãs individuais e sendo
convocados noutros.
Através da análise de literatura de autores das teorias da comunicação, filosofia e
sociologia, clássicos e contemporâneos, e, num segundo momento, através de entrevistas
realizadas a utilizadores comuns de ecrãs e especialistas que com eles lidem, procuramos
demonstrar a complexa e performativa relação entre os indivíduos e os ecrãs, e como estes
segundos podem influir sobre a vida dos primeiros. Assinalando a necessidade de conhecer
uma (hiper)realidade que hoje parece submergir os indivíduos, é nosso objectivo contribuir
para futuras investigações na área, oferecendo um prisma pelo qual nos parece legítimo e
útil abordar o fenómeno, numa sociedade crescentemente preocupada com a segurança e
com a circulação da informação, e onde, cada vez mais, ver parece implicar ser visto.Screens are everywhere. In our daily lives, we find ourselves progressively in front of them, and this trend is predicted to escalate. Today, our life seems to be found eminently inside screens, since it is through them that we receive information, access the world and contact other individuals, shaping the way we experience and view the world. Thus, this increasingly permanent and ubiquitous relationship between screen and individual must be thought to have an impact on how society is molded, on individual behaviours and interpersonal relationships. In order to discuss and characterize the ways control and surveillance are made possible by today’s network of screens in our screened society, we will refer to Foucault’s disciplinary societies and Deleuze’s control societies. In the same line of thought, we shall address Jeremy Bentham’s panopticon, which we propose still in existence, presently in a digital setup. We will also refer to contemporary approaches on the subject, namely Ganascia’s and Mann’s, who speak of sousveillance and catopticon, reversing the concepts of surveillance and panopticon. Our viewpoint is slightly different, though. We think of surveillance and power through screens as something which circulates across the entire social fabric, operating in every direction and simultaneously, since every individual is currently part of the network and both manages his own screens and is summoned by others. We aim at portraying the intricate and performative relationship between screens and individuals and how the first may influence the life of the latters. This ought to be achieved through a literature analysis of communication sciences, filosophy and sociology authors, both classic and contemporary, and by means of interviews with common users and experts working with screens. Depicting the need to better understand this (hiper)reality which pervades the entire society, it is our objective to contribute to future investigations on the topic. Here, we provide an outlook which we consider appropriate and useful to approach this phenomenon, in a society increasingly concerned about security and information flows, where the act of seeing seems to progressively imply being seen.

Full textAbstract:
Job satisfaction is one of the key antecedents to organizational performance, growth and
survival. The attitude employees have towards their work significantly affects employees and
organizational performance. The main objective of this study was to develop a job
satisfaction model for organizational performance in armed conflict societies. The study
examined how the effects of armed conflicts affect job satisfaction among workers working
in armed conflict societies. A concurrent triangulation mixed approach, that is a mixture of
qualitative and quantitative was employed to establish the relationship between the effects of
armed conflicts and job satisfaction. The study population comprised 13 organisations drawn
from Tete province. Quantitative data was collected using questionnaires from 200
respondents while qualitative data was gathered from 20 participants using an interview
schedule.
The Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) and thematic data analysis methods were
used to analyse quantitative and qualitative data respectively. The hypotheses were tested
using multiple regression analysis, correlational analysis and the t-tests.
The study showed that there is a strong correlation between the effects of armed conflict and
job satisfaction. The intensity of the war determines the level of job satisfaction among
workers working for organisations in armed conflict societies. The study established that job
satisfaction in armed conflict societies is also influenced by the destruction of the economic
infrastructure, destruction of interpersonal relationships, intercommunity violence, political
interference, killings and torture of civilians, deterioration of health and education systems,
economic depression and displacement of people. The study further found out that job
satisfaction in armed conflict societies negatively affects key organizational performance
antecedents such as rate of absenteeism, labour turnover, employee loyalty and commitment,
psychological status of employees and health of employees. Job satisfaction in armed conflict
societies directly and indirectly affects organizational performance, profitability, value of
shares, market share and organizational growth. To minimize the consequences of low job
satisfaction on organizational performance, organizations should put in place measures that
propel job satisfaction such as providing counselling services, social services and financial
and non-financial support. The study concluded that job satisfaction can be increased by any
or all of the following strategies:1) flexible work organisation and establishing an effective
team, 2) provision of secure staff offices and residences, 3) compensating employees for war related injuries and deaths, 4) provision of better social services, 5) provision of leisure,
recreational activities and infrastructure, and 6) provision of counselling platforms.
The study contributed to the body of knowledge by developing a job satisfaction model for
organizational performance in armed conflict societies. Furthermore, contrary to other
researchers whose studies concentrated on job related factors of job satisfaction, this study
focused on how the effects of armed conflict influence job satisfaction.Graduate School of Business Leadership
