A mídia, incluindo jornais online, carrega ideologias, muitas vezes implicitamente. Partindo de uma perspectiva da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD), todo discurso é político e assim permeado por ideologias. A presente pesquisa aplica a ACD, conforme proposta por Fairclough (1995), por meio de uma Análise Sistêmica Funcional (Halliday e Matthiessen, 2004) de manchetes e leads online de dois jornais britânicos bem conhecidos. Considerando discurso uma prática social, a pesquisa mostra que a transitividade utilizada apresenta geralmente processos materiais, como forma de promover mudanças, mas que outras escolhas linguísticas, como a representação dos atores sociais, por exemplo, contribuem para criar posicionamentos diferenciados por parte do público leitor, expondo uma dimensão ideológica.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to capture the professional ideology of student affairs administration through an examination of national policy statements published between 1937 and 1987. Both professionalization and deconstruction analytical frameworks are employed to identify the assumptions that underlie that ideology and the powerful social structures those assumptions represent. To explore how the student affairs ideology has been reflected in public expression of professional practice, national conference programs of the American College Personnel Association and the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators are examined. The conference texts from years immediately succeeding and, in one case, preceding publication of the policy statements serve as the foundation for investigating the linkages between professional ideology and professional practice in student affairs. By defining the professional ideology of student affairs administration and demonstrating how the assumptions that underlie that philosophy have been manifested in practice, I reveal how the profession has been shaped and constrained by serving and protecting certain powerful social interests.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of an inquiry into the articulation between language, ideology, and power, which is approached from two different angles. Firstly, it deals with theories of ideology as representation, and secondly, investigates the effect of ideology and power on structures of discursive interaction. Thompson (1984) has argued for the necessity of accounting for the relationship between meaning and power in the study of ideology, a relationship which does not seem to be adequately addressed by theories of representation on the one hand, or by theories of social interaction, on the other. The central objective of this research is then to identify possible areas of interface between the linguistic domains of semantics and pragmatics, and the social domains of background beliefs and institutional interaction, and to investigate how this interface may, in practice, construct and organise ideological meanings in discourse. Through a series of case studies, examples of naturally-occurring discourse are analysed in order to examine specific ways in which meaning works to sustain asymmetrical relations of power, and it is argued that this relationship between meaning and power cannot be fully accounted for without integrating pragmatic theories of language in use into the analysis of social discourse.

Este trabalho parte da percepção da existência de um conflito entre neutralidade e agentividade na Interpretação e procura caracterizar de que maneiras os conceitos de poder e ideologia informam tanto seus estudos, quanto sua prática. Uma discussão multidisciplinar sobre poder e ideologia é apresentada, para, em seguida, serem examinados alguns casos nos quais se pode observar esses conceitos de forma clara no contexto da Interpretação. Pode-se dizer que diferentes tipos de fidelidade são construídos de acordo com influências do meio em interação com os valores que informam o intérprete em sua atuação. São abordadas questões de ética e de controle do discurso por parte do intérprete, colocando em perspectiva os limites de sua atividade e favorecendo o pensamento crítico sobre a profissão e os estudos acadêmicos que a têm como objeto.
Based on the perception that a conflict exists between neutrality and agency in Interpreting, this work tries to verify in what ways the concepts of power and ideology inform both the Interpreting Studies and the interpreter’s activity. A multidisciplinary discussion on power and ideology is presented so that the necessary tools are gathered to examine some cases in which one can clearly observe these concepts within the scope of Interpreting. It can be said that different types of fidelity/faithfulness are established according to influences of the environment and their interaction with the values that inform the interpreter in his/her activity. Issues of ethics and control of discourse by interpreters are addressed, putting into perspective the limits of their occupation and encouraging a critical thinking approach to the role of interpreter and the academic studies which have it as their object.

Schocket, andrew M. "Consolidating power: Technology, ideology, and Philadelphia's growth in the early republic." W&M ScholarWorks, 2001. https://scholarworks.wm.edu/etd/1539623378.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the ways that moneyed Philadelphians invented corporate power in America during the first four decades of the federal republic, specifically focusing on business corporations, such as canal companies and banks, and on a public corporation, Philadelphia's municipal government. Through evidence from company and municipal records and publications, the private papers and correspondence of corporate officers, newspapers, pamphlets, and legislative acts and proceedings, this study identifies the people and the technological and financial processes that contributed to the establishment and entrenchment of corporate economic and political power.;From the 1790s to the 1830s, Philadelphia-area residents demanded cheaper transportation, a better water supply, and more adequate credit facilities and financial institutions. The technical, legal, and monetary requirements of corporations that administered these projects served to increase their leverage in political and economic relations with other individuals and groups, allowing the few who controlled those institutions to exert power over space in unprecedented ways. The men who dominated those corporations justified this increased influence by successfully casting their own interests as being synonymous with those of the public at large. In addition, by the 1810s, a small group of Philadelphians recognized the centrality of transportation and banking to economic growth and coupled them to the corporate form to establish a forum at once withdrawn from public input yet able to exert power in public politics: the meeting-rooms of corporations run by men with close business and family ties.;Most significantly, this study argues that the creation of such a domain held serious consequences for the legacy of the American Revolution. Philadelphia corporations provided broader political and economic independence for more people than before the Revolution; indeed, these companies grew because of the great demand for their services and the freedoms they fostered. However, as corporate associates consolidated their hold over institutions they gained increasing command over what direction growth could take and how its rewards would be distributed. These phenomena contributed greatly to the transformation of America from a gentry-dominated society in the eighteenth century to the corporate-dominated one of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Full textAbstract:
By engaging with Western Marxism and recent developments in social history, this thesis will explore the popular social and political responses to capitalist development and state formation in early modern England. We will analyse the role that country Tory oppositional politics played in local society, its relationship to national politics and to local economic change. This will be done through a series of case studies and episodes from Derbyshire, 1660-1760. Attention will be paid to the politics of the labouring poor, such as the tenants of Robert Hayward and the Rossell family, the Peak lead miners, opponents of the Derwent navigation and plebeian Tories in Derby. Yet the primary focus of the thesis will be on the ‘middling sort of people’ like the local gentry families, tradesmen, parish officials, shopkeepers and smallholders. Rather than studying bourgeois, polite society and London coffee house culture, we will prioritise the social relations of the middling sort of people in one county community. Special attention will be paid to their political responses to socio-economic change, and their opposition to the Whig oligarchy after 1722. Opposition to Robert Walpole and wider economic change acted as a catalyst for variegated social alignments to be formed. They were often cross-class in nature and constitutionalist in scope. These alignments will be explored throughout the thesis, using concepts from Antonio Gramsci as well as the class analysis of E. P. Thompson.

Purwani, Ofita. "Javanese power : silent ideology and built environment of Yogyakarta and Surakarta." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9885.
Full textAbstract:
Yogyakarta and Surakarta are two cities on the island of Java, Indonesia, which are considered as the centres of Javanese culture. That identity has resulted from the existence of the royal court or kraton in each of them. Both cities have shared a similar history as descendants of the Mataram kingdom, the greatest kingdom in Java, which was divided into two in 1755. Both also share a similar physical layout of the palace, shown not only in the layout of the kraton compounds, which consist of seven hierarchical courtyards, but also in the names and the functions of the courtyards and buildings. They also share similar city layouts in which the palace located at the centre, two squares each at the northern and southern end of the kraton compounds, and a royal road, create a north-south axis which is claimed to be cosmological. However, the kratons have suffered different fates in the modern era. Since Indonesian Independence in 1945, Yogyakarta has been considered to be a ‘special region’, with its territory awarded a status equivalent to a province. Also the king is automatically appointed governor, while Surakarta is only recognised as a city, which is a part of the province of Central Java. While the kraton of Yogyakarta holds importance in Yogyakarta, with the acknowledgement of territory and the king’s political role as governor, the kraton of Surakarta has no influence in the city of Surakarta. The mayor of Surakarta city is elected by the people, and even in the 2010 election a candidate from the royal family of the kraton of Surakarta lost 10:90 to a non-kraton-related candidate. The kraton of Yogyakarta has its land and property acknowledged by the state, while the kraton of Surakarta has its land and properties appropriated by the state, except the palace and some of its noble houses. The description above shows that there is a difference in power levels between both kratons. This thesis examines the background process of power, particularly those related to architecture and the built environment including arts, rituals, and culture integrated with them. Based on Bourdieu’s theory of structure/agency, I focused myself on the silent ideology of the built environment, which embodies a power structure in people’s unconsciousness through experience, in order to find out why differences in power levels occurred in two places that share a similar history and physical layouts. Using a comparative analysis, I examine in detail the silent ideology in terms of landscape, in both urban and architectural context. This silent ideology, with the support of cosmological narratives and colonial discourses, together with the accumulation of history in each of them, has a determining role in reproducing the existing power structure and continuous effort as this silent ideology helps to make sure that the existing power structures last.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis provides a critical analysis of Pakistan's geopolitics. It examines why Pakistan remains preoccupied with a state-centric view of conventional security, based on military defense of territorial security/integrity against external threats. It questions why the ruling elite of Pakistan perceive and interpret this geopolitical order as a given, unproblematic and therefore natural condition. Drawing on critical insights — in particular, critical perspectives on geopolitics and ideology — the research explores how the ruling elite, during successive regimes in Pakistan, have employed a confluence of ideological and strategic 'imperatives' to rationalize and naturalize the state-centric view of conventional geopolitics. In this regard, the thesis makes a significant contribution to the existing body of literature on power-elites, the 'construction' of security threats, and the ideological character of Pakistan's geopolitics. In examining the ideological and strategic orientation of the ruling-elite of Pakistan, this thesis explores four major and self-contradictory ideological projects in Pakistan: Islamic- Democracy of the 1950s, Islamic-Socialism of the 1970s, Islamisation of the 1980s, and Enlightened-Moderation of the 2000s. In so doing, it considers if the ruling elite constructed ideological rhetoric into the strategic environment of Pakistan in order to conflate it with the changing contours of international and regional geopolitics. The thesis argues that this enabled elite to rationalise and justify the state-centric view of conventional geopolitics in the service of a number of interests. In particular, elite used this geopolitical order to draw legitimacy, economic, diplomatic and military support and to claim an exclusive and dominant role in the realms of domestic and strategic decision making. The research mainly relies on qualitative methods that include interviews and text-analysis of both primary and secondary sources.

Attempts to explain child labor, for the most part, have been reduced to the economic aspect, looking to establish a causal relationship between work and poverty. Without disregarding this aspect, we intend to approach this phenomenon considering other aspects that could be contributing towards its maintenance. We seek, above all, to articulate it with the concepts of disciplinary power and ideology. The present study, therefore, tries to consider these aspects with the intention of learning the reasons that the mothers and the teachers produce concerning child labor in the cultivation of vegetables. We elected these participants because we considered that child labor has been reinforced by the disciplinary institutions and proponents of ideology, the family and the school, here represented, respectively, by the mothers and the teachers. To affect this study, we created focused groups with the mothers whose children are students and work in the cultivation of vegetables in Gramorezinho (neighborhood situated in the northern part of Natal, RN) and with the teachers of the neighborhood school (Escola Lourdes Goudeiro). The discussion of the participants was handled according to the perspective of discursive practices, attempting to articulate them with the notions of ideology and disciplinary power. In general, we perceived how much ideology and discipline are immersed in the discursive practices of the participants. Whereas, even though in some moments the reference to work as being something that takes time from the child to study and play is apparent, the participants attribute great importance to child labor. Both for the teachers and for the mothers, work is something that can free the children from laziness, from becoming criminals and from using drugs. It too constitutes an important alternative to idleness and to the permanence of the child in the streets
As tentativas de explica??o do trabalho infantil, na maioria das vezes, resumem-se ao aspecto econ?mico, procurando estabelecer uma rela??o de causalidade entre trabalho e pobreza. N?o desconsiderando este aspecto, pretendemos abordar o fen?meno refletindo sobre outros aspectos que podem estar contribuindo para a sua manuten??o. Buscamos, sobretudo, articul?-lo com os conceitos de poder disciplinar e de ideologia. O presente estudo, portanto, tenta considerar estes aspectos se propondo a apreender os sentidos que as m?es e os professores produzem acerca do trabalho infantil no cultivo de hortali?as. Elegemos tais atores por considerarmos que a m?o-de-obra infantil vem sendo refor?ada pelas institui??es disciplinadoras e propagadoras da ideologia, a fam?lia e a escola, aqui representadas, respectivamente, pelas m?es e pelos professores. Para efetivar este estudo, realizamos grupos focais com as m?es, cujas crian?as estudam e trabalham no cultivo das hortas em Gramorezinho (bairro situado na zona norte de Natal-RN) e com os professores da escola do bairro (Escola Lourdes Goudeiro). As falas dos sujeitos foram tratadas segundo a perspectiva das pr?ticas discursivas, tentando articul?-las com a no??o de ideologia e poder disciplinar. De um modo geral, percebemos o quanto a ideologia e a disciplina est?o imersas nas pr?ticas discursivas dos sujeitos. Pois, embora apare?a, em alguns momentos, a refer?ncia ao trabalho como algo que tira o tempo de estudar e de brincar da crian?a, os sujeitos atribuem ao trabalho infantil uma grande import?ncia. Tanto para os professores como para as m?es, o trabalho ? algo que pode livrar as crian?as da vagabundagem, da criminalidade e do uso de drogas. Tamb?m constitui-se como uma alternativa importante para combater a ociosidade e a n?o perman?ncia das crian?as nas ruas

Full textAbstract:
O conflito entre Israel e Palestina tem sido marcado pela violência e luta sangrenta entre os dois povos que disputam o mesmo território. Isto tem provocado consequências graves como instabilidade política, problemas económicos e sociais principalmente para o povo palestiniano que na actualidade vive em situação de miséria e opressão em que a insegurança atinge ambos os lados do conflito. O desenvolvimento do conflito ao longo da sua história tem desencadeado uma actuação através da luta armada como bombardeamentos, Intifadas e terrorismo sendo que, este último atingiu o seu cume a partir do momento que superou a forma tradicional de terrorismo ao fazer a opção pelos atentados suicidas numa vertente inovadora dos palestinianos, estimulados pela ideologia religiosa e de radical oposição a ocupação israelita, a qual tem também, como aguilhão a ideologia sionista presente desde os primeiros tempos do conflito. É na incansável luta pelo território palestiniano que se tem deflagrado a destruição dos Direitos Humanos e Civis mediante poderes desiguais e insensíveis as questões humanitárias que em muitos momentos, tem contado com interferências de alguns países estrangeiros como mediadores dos processos de paz, mas que, em certas situações são motivados por interesses próprios e assim, alheios a uma paz justa e duradoura. Vários tem sido os obstáculos para a paz como as intransigências dos lados em disputa e a acirrada ganância pelo domínio e pelo poder, o que tem feito malograr os tratados de paz e consequente continuidade do conflito numa escalada de violência sem precedentes e crescente dificuldade para se estabelecer uma paz justa e duradoura. - ABSTRACT: The conflict between Israel and Palestine has been a violent and cruel struggle between two peoples fighting over one land. Political instability and economic and social problems are some of its most serious consequences, particularly felt by the Palestinians who have been living in misery and under oppression throughout this conflict. On the other hand, the lack of security is a cost felt by both sides. Since its early stages this has been a conflict marked using artillery shelling, by the Intifadas and terrorist attacks. The armed struggle has now reached a peak in violence, as the traditional types of terrorism were replaced by new forms of suicide attacks based on religious ideology and radical resistance to Israel’s military force, an occupation inflamed by the historical presence of Zionism. This enduring fight for the Palestinian territories is responsible for a general disrespect for human and civil rights, an inevitable consequence of the disproportionate military power of the conflicting parties and disregard for humanitarian problems. The foreign countries acting as mediators in the peace process have, too frequently, turned a blind eye to these situations, thinking primarily about their own private interests rather than the establishment of a lasting peace. Many have been the obstacles to peace. The inflexibility of both conflicting sides and their determination to hold a military and political control over the territories are responsible for the failure to implement the peace accords and for the perpetuation of a conflict that has witnessed an unprecedented escalation of violence and consequent failure to create the conditions for a just and lasting peace.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this study is to question the potential of architecture as a representational medium of ideology. In order to exemplify this overlapping relationship between ideology and architecture, this study focuses on the headquarters erected by major parties of Turkey since the 1980&rsquos. Having a significant position within society and particularly being a part of political system, parties obviously define ideological formations in order to preserve their existence and also strengthen their position within society and the material existence of architecture is manipulated by the parties as an important tool for representation. Thus these headquarters, which are certainly virile tools in the process of aesthetization of ideology, constitute a model to comprehend this relation of architecture and power. All buildings concerned are erected after 1980 which marks another objective of this study. The ongoing period after 1980 under the influence of Neoliberalism offers substantial changes in political, social and economic domains in worldwide scale. Obviously, political agents in Turkey were also forced to experience such significant changes and redefined their ideological formations. Thus, these buildings can be considered as the concrete example of how architecture responded the newly emerging need refined due the neoliberal changes. Departing from that, the aim of this thesis can be defined as to discuss the role of the work of architecture in the representation of ideology, but also to question to what extend the alterations in this potential of representation has initiated by the changes brought by Neoliberalism. Lastly, the study will discuss the results of these changes within the sphere of ideology of architecture in order to map the transformation occurred within. This study will finally question what kind of transformations within the sphere of ideology of architecture has been triggered by the above mentioned changes.

Full textAbstract:
Continuing professional development (CPD) for teachers is a topical issue in Scotland, and beyond, where recent policy developments have pointed towards the desirability of more structured approaches to post-initial teacher education. In the period between the Sutherland Report into teacher education in Scotland (Sutherland, 1997) and the completion of this study in 2005, Scotland has seen the introduction of a CPD framework. While aspects of the framework have been evaluated in terms of the success of their implementation, there has been no real analysis of the policy as a whole, or of the policy development process. This study therefore sought to investigate and articulate issues of power, influence and ideology in the development of CPD policy in Scotland. A poststructuralist approach has been adopted in an attempt to take the analysis beyond issues of content and implementation to explore the underpinning philosophies and the power relationships that have contributed to the current policy position. This approach has involved the critical discourse analysis of a range of publicly available documents as well as the analysis of interviews with sixteen of the educational elite in Scotland. The study deduces that the CPD framework has been shaped from the outset by the promotion of a standards-based approach. The power of this discourse, with its emphasis on targets, efficiency, competence and compliance, has served to limit the need for teachers and other stakeholders to conceive of alternative conceptions of teaching. This discourse is contrasted with a more democratic conception, in which CPD has the power to support transformative practice. It is concluded that CPD policy provides a powerful channel through which particular conceptions of professionalism and of teaching are promoted, and that this discourse needs to be more effectively interrogated and challenged.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of the Pasdaran over the past thirty years has brought the group further away from its original role as a protector of the revolution and closer to a parallel, if not competing, economic, political and social institution. In the last decade, conflict dominating the political landscape of the Islamic Republic of Iran has shifted from being defined primarily by the Reformists (Islamic Left) and the Conservatives (Islamic Right), to a multi-dimensional struggle between the Reformists, Conservatives, and Neo-Conservatives, represented by the IRGC and President Ahmadinejad. The IRGC's defiance against the authority of the clerics, evidenced by President Ahmadinejad's deteriorating relationship with the Supreme Leader, is an indication of a shift in the sources of influence in domestic and foreign policy making and the necessary attempts of the ruling regime to compensate for its loss of control. It appears that the IRGC may be in a position to seriously challenge the authority of the clerics; however, this research hypothesizes that as the organization has evolved parallel to the velayet-e faqih, it does not have the necessary autonomy or cohesion to effectively usurp the rule of the clerics. This study proposes that the competitive disunity that has propelled the growth of the IRGC over the past three decades is prohibitive of the collective consolidation of influence necessary to wrest authority from the clerical regime.ID: 030646219; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 108-113).

Full textAbstract:
PART I: Literary criticism in the twentieth century has sometimes shown that Jacobean drama challenged religious orthodoxy. The aim of this thesis is to show that this challenge was bound up with other, equally subversive concerns: a critique of ideology and a struggle to demystify political and power relations. In the tragedy here described as radical, power is identified in its complex manifestations and relations, and in its equally complex ideological misrepresentations. This section concludes with a study of three plays which exemplify this radicalism: Marston's Antonio plays and Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida. PART II: The sceptical interrogation of providentialist belief finds expression in structuralist disjunction rather than teleological development, realist rather than idealist mimesis. These themes are explored in relation to twentieth century and then Renaissance literary theory, theological controversy in the Elizabethan and Jacobean period, and then through analyses of Dr. Faustus, Mustapha, Sejanus and The Revenger's Tragedy. PART III. In undermining the purposive and teleologically integrated universe envisioned by providentialists, these playwrights necessarily subverted its corollary: the unitary human subject harmoniously positioned at the centre of the cosmic design. Hence the Jacobean anti-hero: malcontented, dispossessed, satirical and vengeful; at once the agent and victim of social corruption, condemning yet simultaneously contaminated by it; made up of inconsistencies and contradictions which, because they cannot be understood in terms of individuality alone, constantly pressure attention outwards to the conditions of the protagonist'ssocial existence. The Jacobean malcontent is a decentred subject, the bearer of a subjectivity which is not the antithesis of social process but its focus, in particular the focus of political, social and ideological contradictions. Plays analysed in this section are Bussy D'Ambois, King Lear, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus and The White Devil. PART IV. This section of the thesis makes explicit the materialist theory on which it draws---including that of Marx, Brecht, and Foucault---and seeks to contest the dominant tradition of idealism in literary erticism, especially its misrepresenation of subjectivity and social process in the early seventeenth century.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar de que modo o romance Levantado do Chão, de José Saramago, apropria-se de episódios de grande importância histórica para Portugal, como a chegada da I República, em 1910, a ascensão da ditadura salazarista, em 1926, e a Revolução dos Cravos, em 1974. A retratação destes acontecimentos é feita a partir da ficcionalização das experiências dos camponeses alentejanos, revelando um sem número de consentimentos e resistências do povo português às efemérides históricas. Em se tratando de uma obra que sobreleva a constituição de poderes para a imposição de uma determinada ideologia, também faz parte de nossa investigação compreender as articulações entre os discursos e as práticas, bem como notar as articulações entre História e Ficção.This research aims to analyze the appropriation of important events which happened in Portugal, such as the arise of the Republic, in 1910, the ascension of salazarist dictadure, in 1926 and the Revolução dos Cravos, in 1974 in Levantado do Chão, by José Saramago. The novel focuses on the experiences of the commoners from Alentejo and reveals the Portuguese people acquiescences and oppositions to the historical changes, as well as the constitution and imposition of an ideology. This work tries to reflect on how the discourses of this ideology influences on Portuguese people lives and the articulations between History and Fiction.

Full textAbstract:
O eixo principal que estrutura este trabalho é, num sentido amplo, a busca pelo entendimento dos modos de dominação característicos das sociedades modernas. É nessa direção que retomamos a clássica noção de ideologia cunhada em seu teor crítico pela obra de Karl Marx , pois ela aponta, no interior das sociedades capitalistas, para o processo social de produção de ideias, valores e representações cuja função é ocultar e legitimar as divisões de uma determinada ordem social. Nosso objetivo é acompanhar os desdobramentos desse debate na cena francesa do século XX, elegendo duas importantes contribuições: uma fornecida pelo filósofo Claude Lefort, outra, pelo sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. Embora situados em campos disciplinares diferentes, os trabalhos de Lefort e Bourdieu confluem em direção a uma reformulação das bases a partir das quais os fenômenos ideológicos são tratados, ampliando as perspectivas de análise e lançando uma nova luz sobre eles. Tecida por uma relação crítica com o marxismo, a trajetória lefortiana permite acompanhar o trabalho histórico de um pensamento que busca apreender o surgimento, a especificidade, as formas e as transformações da ideologia nas sociedades modernas. Os trabalhos de Bourdieu, por sua vez, desvelam e caracterizam o modo de dominação moderno concebido enquanto violência simbólica, fenômeno baseado no acordo objetivamente orquestrado entre as estruturas sociais objetivas e as estruturas cognitivas dos agentes. Envolvendo e ultrapassando a noção de ideologia, a violência simbólica é operante na medida em que os agentes participam da dominação e conferem a ela um reconhecimento baseado no desconhecimento dos mecanismos pelos quais a ordem social se produz, reproduz e se legitima. Situando suas heranças e distanciamentos perante a tradição inaugurada por Marx, buscamos refletir sobre o alcance das concepções que esses dois pensadores nos legaram: ideologia enquanto recusa da historicidade, do conflito e da indeterminação constitutiva do político, em Lefort, e enquanto conjunto de práticas e estilos de vida fundados na dominação simbólica, em Bourdieu.This work is structured, in a broad sense, as an attempt to understand the modes of domination characteristic of modern societies. It is in this perspective that we take into account the classical notion of ideology, as it was critically developed by Karl Marx. This term points out the social process of production of ideas, values and representations within capitalist societies, whose function consists in hiding and legitimizing the divisions of a social order. Our aim is to follow the developments of this debate in the French philosophical scene of the twentieth century, choosing two important contributions in particular: one provided by the philosopher Claude Lefort, another by the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Although located in different fields, Bourdieu and Lefort\'s works converge towards a reformulation of the bases from which the ideological phenomena are conceived, by enlarging the analytical perspectives and casting a new light on them. In a constant critical relationship with the Marxism, the lefortian trajectory allows us to follow the historical movement of a thought, which seeks to apprehend the rise as well as the specificities, forms and transformations of ideology in modern societies. The work of Bourdieu, in turn, unveils and characterizes the modern way of domination conceived as a symbolic violence; it is a phenomenon based on the agreement objectively orchestrated between social structures and the cognitive structures of agents. Involving and overcoming the notion of ideology, the concept of symbolic violence becomes effective when the agents participate in the domination. They give it a recognition based on ignorance of the mechanisms by which social order is produced, reproduced and legitimized. Considering the heritages and distances of the two thinkers with reference to a tradition inaugurated by Marx, we try to reflect on the scope of the main concepts that they leaved us: ideology as a refusal of historicity, of conflict and of political indeterminacy in Lefort, and as a set of practices and styles of life grounded in symbolic domination in Bourdieu.

Full textAbstract:
Autobiographical memory is an elusive and ephemeral experience to try and articulate or analyze. It is dynamic, interpretive, and subject to influence. It is malleable and inevitably colored by the variety of beliefs and values held by individuals and which change over the course of a life. With these considerations in mind, is it possible that our own autobiographical memories are ideological? It doesn’t seem a stretch to presume our autobiographical memories are imbued with and surrounded by ideas of racism, sexism, classism, patriarchy, privilege and other ideologies of power; topics like these may be encoded into our personal, interior memories and thus deserve to be scrutinized there. The problem is locating, assessing, and then analyzing ideology within the ephemeral, interiorized, and extremely subjective medium of personal memory. As an attempt to solve this problem, this study examines ideology in cinematic depictions of autobiographical memory.
By analyzing eleven films that include visual depictions of memory, it seems that autobiographical memory and ideology intersect in specific ways. 1. Such memories are not only composed of varying degrees of fact and fiction, but that they are also, in many circumstances, ideological constructions. 2. Autobiographical memories can be ideological not only in the content of the memory but in how autobiographical memory is presumed to operate. 3. In these ways, memories are surrounded by and vulnerable to competing ideologies. It is my hope that this study allows for a continuing conversation about ideology in autobiographical memory as well as how ideologies are affected by perceptions about the nature of remembering, forgetting, and sharing memories.

Previous issue date: 2000-01-01This dissertation is result of a research whose main aim was to analyze the discursive construction of wall graffiti in Campina Grande/PB, as a conveyed process of ideology and power. The Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 2001), Thompson s concepts of ideology (2002) and Gramsci s concept of hegemony (1973) have been utilized for the analysis of this study. The analytical corpus is formed by 92 linguistic excerpts of graffiti which were photographed in some neighborhoods of Campina Grande such as: Catolé, São José and downtown. The images of graffiti, the oral interview of a graffiti man, oral information collected in meetings with members of this group, and the answers given by nine graffiti men and a graffiti woman to the research surveys have been utilized as support for the analysis. The analytical process covered the discourse based on Fairclough three dimension model: the text, the discursive practice and the social practice. In textual dimension, the vocabulary, the grammar and the text structure have been analyzed. In the vocabulary item, the focus was on the signification, creation of words and the metaphors, including the analysis of the use foreign languages words as well. In the grammar item, the priority was the transitivity whose objective was to verify the processes and the verbal voices, as well as the use of tenses and verbal persons. In the text structure , the analysis consisted of general organizational properties in the texts. The dimension of discursive practice involved the processes of production, distribution and consumerism of wall graffiti, which were responsible for the analysis of graffiti discursive memory, from the analysis of the intertextuality, polyphony and the interdiscursivity. In the social practice dimension, ideology and hegemony have been focused. The results of the research suggest that this discursive construction expresses the concerns and the desires of teenagers, pointing to the organization of these social subjects by the graffiti hegemony in both society and among the enemy graffiti tribes, besides of remitting a subversive attitude to the system, contesting the hegemonic discourse, showing that in this discourse there is the establishment of fight by overcoming of dominant situations and the questioning of the predominant hegemony. Thus, this discursive construction, in spite of the questioning intention, at same time it expresses anti-hegemonic and anti-ideological meanings, in some moments, it reproduces the discourse of the dominant ideology.
Esta dissertação é resultado de uma pesquisa que teve como objetivo principal analisar a construção discursiva do grafite de muro na cidade de Campina Grande/PB, como um processo veiculador de ideologia e poder. Para tanto, fundamentou-se teórico-metodologicamente na Análise de Discurso Crítica (Fairclough, 2001), tendo-se recorrido aos conceitos de ideologia em Thompson (2002) e de hegemonia em Gramsci (1971). O corpus analítico se compôs de 92 excertos lingüísticos do grafite, colhidos através de um levantamento fotográfico, realizado nos bairros do Catolé, São José e no Centro da cidade, além de algumas ocorrências, complementares para a pesquisa, do grafite em outros bairros. Utilizou-se, como suporte para as análises, as próprias imagens dos grafites, assim como o depoimento oral de um grafiteiro, informações orais colhidas em reuniões com membros desse grupo, e respostas dadas por nove grafiteiros e uma grafiteira às fichas de apoio à pesquisa. O processo analítico englobou o discurso de acordo com o modelo tridimensional faircloughiano: o texto, a prática discursiva e a prática social. Na dimensão textual, foram analisados o vocabulário, a gramática e a estrutura dos textos. No item vocabulário , realizaram-se as análises da significação, da criação das palavras e das metáforas, incluindo-se também a análise do uso de palavras de língua estrangeira. No item gramática , priorizou-se a transitividade cujo objetivo foi o de verificar os processos e as vozes verbais, como também o emprego dos tempos e das pessoas verbais. No item estrutura textual , foram analisadas as propriedades organizacionais gerais dos textos. A dimensão da prática discursiva tratou dos processos de produção, distribuição e consumo do grafite de muro, através dos quais foi analisada a memória discursiva do grafite, a partir das análises da intertextualidade manifesta e da polifonia, e da interdiscursividade. Na dimensão da prática social, tiveram vez as análises das categorias ideologia e hegemonia. Os resultados da pesquisa sugerem que essa construção discursiva expressa inquietações e desejos de adolescentes, sinaliza para um agenciamento desses sujeitos sociais pela hegemonia tanto do grafite na sociedade quanto entre tribos de grafiteiros rivais, além de remeter a uma atitude de subversão ao sistema, de contestação ao discurso hegemônico, mostrando que no discurso estabelecem-se focos de luta pela superação de situações de dominação e de questionamento da hegemonia prevalecente. Embora assim sendo, essa construção discursiva, apesar de se pretender contestatória, ao mesmo tempo em que expressa sentidos contra-hegemônicos e contra-ideológicos, em alguns momentos, reproduz o discurso da ideologia dominante.

Partindo do pressuposto de que o laicismo preconiza uma separação radical entre Estado e Igreja, procuro demonstrar nesta tese, a partir de um recorte na história do Judaísmo que estas duas dimensões estiveram profundamente presentes em seu período inicial de formação. Esta tese se constitui como uma espécie de desconstrução da história tradicionalmente aceita pelos diferentes credos que utilizam o Antigo Testamento como fundamento de seu corpo doutrinal. Estabeleci as relações de poder, que se efetivaram entre os dois grupos sociais mais importantes dentro do contexto destacado, como meu objeto de pesquisa privilegiado. Por um lado tem-se o poder religioso, que sustentado por um projeto de caráter eminentemente político, subverteu a seu favor toda uma ordem natural na qual estavam alicerçadas, por outro lado, diferentes sociedades tribais. Nesse sentido o judaísmo se configurou como um sistema de crença que justificou e legitimou a classe sacerdotal jerusolimitana como classe dominante em toda a província de Judá. Manipulando os dados da tradição tribal a seu favor, a classe sacerdotal, não somente passou a dominar religiosamente as pessoas que habitavam a região da província de Judá, mas transformou os membros destas sociedades tribais em camponeses escravizados a um sistema de crença extremamente opressor. Segundo a tese de Marcel Gauchet, o judaísmo como ponto de partida da revelação judaico-cristã, se mostra, conforme o conceito weberiano de desencantamento do mundo , como início de um processo, onde a religião institucionalizada se tornou saída da religião . Processo esse, que teve seu clímax no período da modernidade e que nesse início de século XXI se vê num momento de transição quando passa a um novo período, isto é, à pós-modernidade: nesse sentido já se pode entrever seu ocaso.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores caregiving ideology and social interaction in Tanzanian families with a focus on guidance and control of young children. The study is set within a context of social change in terms of urbanization as well as the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The aim of the study was to explore how the conditions for children’s participation are shaped within local deology and situated practice. A qualitative study was undertaken inspired by the traditions of language socialization, sociocultural theory and discursive psychology. Data was collected in one urban and one rural district in the coastal region in Tanzania. The thesis contains four articles. Article one and two are based on data from focus group discussions with parents and grandparents exploring caregiving responsibilities. The first study explores caregivers’ discourses regarding the responsibility of guidance and control of children related to social change. The analysis constructed two interpretative repertoires: guidance and control as a community matter and guidance and control as a family matter. These repertoires are related to an ideological caregiving dilemma regarding parental authority and individual rights. The second study investigates caregivers’ discourses regarding early childhood discipline strategies. The analysis suggested a model illustrating various levels of power asymmetries related to corporal punishment, conceptualized in terms of to beat with care, to treat like an egg, as if beating a snake and the non-care of non-beating. Article three and four are based on video recorded data and present analyses of moment-to-moment, multimodal sequences of interaction. The third study explores how siblings in Tanzania actively engage in their own socialization concerning caregiving responsibilities through the negotiation of guidance and control between younger siblings, older siblings and adults. The forth article presents findings from analyses of naturally occurring literacy events. The analysis shows how participation is negotiated in terms of symmetries and asymmetries between younger and older siblings. Norms and values belonging to the social order of the formal school are enacted parallel to the social order of participatory learning with roots in everyday interaction in the home. The four studies illustrate conditions of participation in terms of symmetries and asymmetries in early childhood relationships. The findings are also discussed in terms of a caregiving dilemma regarding individual rights versus parental authority. This dilemma is identified both in lived and theoretical ideology as presented in caregivers’ discourses and the ideology of children’s rights.Avhandlingen behandlar omsorgsideologi och social interaktion i tanzaniska familjer med fokus på vägledning och kontroll av yngre barn. Studien är situerad i en kontext som präglas av social förändring med avseende på urbanisering och implementeringen av konventionen om barns rättigheter. Syftet med studien var att utforska hur förutsättningar för yngre barns deltagande skapas inom ramen för lokala ideologier och som lokala praktiker. Data samlades in i en urban och en rural miljö utmed den Tanzaniska östkusten. Avhandlingen innehåller fyra delstudier. I analysen av data användes kvalitativa metoder som har sin teoretiska grund i språksocialisation, socio-kulturell teori och diskursiv psykologi. De första två artiklarna baseras på fokusgruppdiskussioner med föräldrar samt mor- och farföräldrar. Den första artikeln utforskar diskurser med avseende på ansvaret för vägledning och kontroll av barn relaterade till den aktuella sociala förändringen. Analysen konstruerade två tolkningsrepertoarer: samhällsansvar för vägledning och kontroll och familjeansvar för vägledning och kontroll. Dessa repertoarer är relaterade till ett ideologiskt omsorgsdilemma som rör föräldrars auktoritet och barns individuella rättigheter. Den andra studien utforskar diskurser rörande disciplinering och kroppslig bestraffning av små barn. Analysen presenterar en modell som illustrerar hur olika disciplineringsstrategier representerar olika former av maktasymmetrier i form av a) att slå med omsorg, b) att behandla som ett ägg, c) som att slå en orm och d) icke-omsorgen i att inte slå. Studie tre och fyra är baserade på videoinspelat material och presenterar analyser av multimodala sekvenser av interaktion. Den tredje studien utforskar hur syskon under måltidssituationer bidrar till sin egen socialisation genom förhandlingar mellan yngre syskon, äldre syskon och vuxna. Den fjärde studien presenterar fynd från analyser av spontana läs- och skrivhändelser i barns vardag. Analysen visar hur förutsättningar för deltagande förhandlas i termer av symmetrier och asymmetrier mellan yngre och äldre syskon. Normer och värden som tillhör den tanzaniska skolans sociala ordning kan återfinnas i förhandlingar parallellt med informellt lärande med rötter i vardaglig interaktion i hemmiljö. De fyra studierna illustrerar förutsättningarna för deltagande i relationer genom att analysera symmetrier och asymmetrier i familjerelationer under de tidiga barndomsåren i Tanzania. Fynden tolkas också som omsorgsdilemman som rör individens rätt i motsats till auktoritet och anpassning till traditionella värden. Detta dilemma kan spåras både i praktisk och teoretisk ideologi i föräldrars och mor- och farföräldrars diskurser inom den kontext som barnrättsideologin skapar.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation research examines the political significance of plazas in ancient Maya society from the Late Preclassic period through the Terminal Classic period (ca. 150 B.C.- A.D. 900). I consider plazas not as by-products of temples and palaces, but as political arenas in which different social actors created and transformed social realities and values. My primary question is how power relations and ideologies emerge from people's practices and their engagements with materiality--more specifically, the construction of plazas and ritual performances. I address this question through the combination of various methods including the following: spatial analyses based on GIS, extensive excavations, epigraphic studies, and material analyses through petrographic microscopy and particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE). Using these methods, I conducted archaeological research at El Palmar, a Maya polity located in southeastern Campeche of Mexico. During the 2007-2014 field seasons, I investigated eleven plazas in total with eight located in the urban core and three in its outlying areas. The results from the urban core suggest that the power relations at El Palmar changed through time. Such changes are reflected in the designs of both public and exclusive plazas and associated ritual events. The results in the north outlying plaza, where a hieroglyphic stairway was built around A.D.726, further suggest that a group of officials negotiated their status and power with rulers. The protagonist of the event was not an El Palmar ruler but an official who emphasized diplomatic relations with foreign rulers, giving the El Palmar ruler only scant reference. Considering inter-regional contexts, however, they were not only engaged in internal power struggles, but also cooperated to negotiate with foreign dynasties. This complex mechanism of power was closely tied to the remodeling of the plaza and ideological symbolism materialized by mortuary practice, fire rituals, and termination rituals. My dissertation concludes that ritual performances in outlying plazas were not merely a reflection of royal ideology promoted by rulers but could have introduced new power and ideological relations in the community, relations that would be difficult to identify solely through the analysis of the main plaza.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this essay was to examine adult-child power structures connected to the main character in Lois Lowry´s novel Number the Stars, to see if they could be found in different levels, and layers of the text. With the focus to see if the novel´s content might correlate to any educational purposes if used when teaching English as a second language in the Swedish upper secondary school. The analysis showed that the novel displayed a didactic intent from the author to introduce ideological social values belonging to the Danish society and the resistance movement in Denmark during the German occupation, between the years of 1940-1945. Furthermore, presumed transference of American values from the author were found in the narrative. The portrayals of these social values in the narrative are done with a display of adult power over children in the narrative, both in the story and towards the novel´s intended readers. The content of the novel could then be used for educational purposes to uncover and discuss aspects of social power through ideology, human values, and human rights, correlating to the English syllabus in Lgr11 regarding "relations and ethical questions", as well as the curricula’s aim to develop the students ability´s to "reflect over living conditions, social and cultural phenomena in different contexts and parts of the world where English is used" (Skolverket 32, 34).

Full textAbstract:
The Swedish Armed Forces can be considered a hegemonic masculine organisation with deeply embedded patterns of patriarchy, as well as fratriarchy represented by notions of homogeneity and the male soldier. Women are highly underrepresented and face multiple double standards related to their performance of gender and more precisely performance of femininity. However, the Swedish Armed Forces claim to be an inclusive organisation and advertise this through different recruiting strategies, which display women in uniforms. This thesis uses the methodology of qualitative research by combining the methods of critical discourse analysis and critical visual analysis to analyse the representation and the performativity of gender in a recruiting advertisement for inclusivity by the Swedish Armed Forces. I argue that this advertisement led to a certain form of reproducing stereotypical notions of femininity by representing women who embody certain requirements connected to beauty standards. At the same time, notions of hegemonic masculinity and patriarchy are challenged through the representation of women in military uniforms.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT
Treating the concept of culture as a heuristic allows us to analyze multiple contexts involving culture as continuously changing with or without exterior contact. The productions from such system have the potential to develop identities through ideological materials produced by specialized rhetoric. This paper then focuses on how figurative language and structure affect the ways in which rhetoric, ideology, and identity are formed within the context of film reviews. In particular, I analyze reviews from the films Birdman and The Revenant, both directed by Alejandro Gonzales Iñárritu, to detail how the use of metaphors influences the production of rhetoric. I use cross-cultural rhetoric and identity frames in each review as a way to identify the implications of the use of metaphors in film reviews and what this choice details about the writers and the agencies for which they work.

This dissertation examines law from an essentially cultural perspective, that is, as a phenomenon arising from the gradual construction of values in the course of history. Among the sources of law, the study focuses on the so-called judicial source, that is, the right that arises from decisions handed down by judges and courts. It seeks to comprehend the ideologies that serve as a framework for decisions made by judges, within the contemporary panorama. It is assumed that the judicial activity is predominantly interpretative, requires a position, and, consequently, a choice of values. As a starting point, the study shows opinion poll results in which judges were able to voice their considerations on the most relevant aspects. It also reveals that, in general, judges take into consideration in their decisions both the paradigm of legality and concomitantly the social consequences that their sentences may lead to. Considering those paradigms as simultaneously embedded, the study analyzes in greater depth, the foundations of both stances: on one hand the "legalist" and on the other the "social" one. Through a historical approach, it identifies that "legalism" is the result of constant and permanent search of the human being for security and stability. Moreover, it reveals that legalism can also relate to an "ideological legal positivism" Otherwise, the concern with "social consequences of judicial decisions" gains ground, at a time when the rapprochement of law with ethics is sought. Besides, judicial positions strengthen elements of the Marxist critique, unleashing the so-called "judicial activism”. Finally, the study examines recent jurisprudential cases in which it is possible to confirm this ideological dichotomy that is present in the intricacies of the Judicial Power
Esta dissertação de mestrado examina o direito sob uma perspectiva essencialmente cultural, o que significa dizer, como um fenômeno decorrente da construção gradual de valores no curso da história. Dentre as fontes do direito, o estudo toma por destaque a denominada fonte judicial, ou seja, o direito que nasce a partir das decisões proferidas por juízes e tribunais. Busca compreender as ideologias que servem de referência para a tomada de decisões pelos magistrados no panorama contemporâneo, partindo-se do pressuposto de que a atividade judicial é preponderantemente interpretativa, a exigir a adoção de posicionamentos, e, por consequência, a escolha de valores. Como ponto de partida para o estudo, aponta resultados de pesquisas de opinião onde os próprios juízes foram ouvidos e puderam se manifestar acerca de assuntos pertinentes. Permite constatar que os juízes levam preponderantemente em consideração, no momento de decidir, o paradigma da legalidade, mas também, de maneira concomitante, as consequências sociais que as suas sentenças podem vir a causar. Considerando-se esta dualidade de paradigmas simultaneamente incorporados, analisa com maior profundidade os fundamentos de ambas as posturas, de um lado a “legalista”, e de outro a “social”. Numa abordagem histórica, detecta que o “legalismo” é fruto da constante e permanente busca do ser humano por segurança e estabilidade. Identifica o legalismo com o que se pode denominar de “positivismo jurídico ideológico”. De outra sorte, a preocupação com as “consequências sociais das decisões judiciais” ganha espaço em um momento em que se busca a reaproximação do direito com a ética, oportunidade em que as posturas judiciais incrementam elementos da crítica marxista, desencadeando o denominado “ativismo judicial”. Por fim, aprecia casos jurisprudenciais recentes onde é possível verificar esta dicotomia ideológica verificada nos meandros do Poder Judiciário

Full textAbstract:
During the last decades Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) has become a more frequently used method to recognise adult’s prior learning. This thesis analyses a process of RPL in health care, where health care assistants are assessed against subjects in the upper-secondary health care program. Prior research on RPL is to a high degree non-theoretical and focus is primarily on policy level research. This thesis adds to the field by progressing a critical social theory perspective on RPL. In the thesis the RPL process is analysed through Jürgen Habermas’ theory of communicative action and Axel Honneth’s Recognition theory. General questions posed are: What are the power issues in the RPL process? What implications does the tension between the lifeworld of work and the system of education have? What consequences does mutual understanding and communication have for the outcome of the RPL process? What part does recognition play for the participants? The results disclose the power relations that emerge in the relationship between participants and teachers. A caring ideology is developed and problematized. Further, the importance of mutual understanding between participant and teachers in the assessment of prior learning is discussed focusing on the consequences a lack of mutual understanding could have for the outcome in such assessments. On a macro level the analysis demonstrates the tension between the participants prior learning and the educational systems demand for formalising prior learning. In addition, analyses of a more developmental character that intends to show the potential for critical learning, change and recognition are progressed. The results suggest that communicative action can be used to develop RPL into processes focusing on critical learning and change. Recognition of traits and abilities could also enhance individual’s positive relations with the self. Such recognition could develop self-confidence and thus RPL could encourage learning and cultivate continuing self-realisation through work.Validering har under de senaste decennierna blivit en alltmer använd metod för att erkänna vuxnas tidigare lärande. Denna avhandling analyserar en valideringsprocess inom omvårdnadssektorn för vårdbiträden med mångårig erfarenhet. Vårdbiträdena valideras mot ämnen inom omvårdnadsprogrammets karaktärsämnen. Tidigare forskning om validering är i hög grad icke-teoretisk och mycket fokus har legat på policynivå. Denna avhandling bidrar till forskningsfältet genom att problematisera validering utifrån ett kritiskt samhällsteoretiskt perspektiv. I avhandlingen analyseras valideringsprocessen utifrån Jürgen Habermas teori om det kommunikativa handlandet och Axel Honneths erkännandeteori. Exempel på mer generella frågor som ställs är: Vilka är maktfaktorerna i valideringsprocessen? Är handlingarna i processen koordinerade mot gemensam förståelse? Hur ser förhållandet mellan system och livsvärld ut? Vilken roll spelar erkännandet i validering för deltagarna? Resultatet synliggör de maktförhållanden som uppstår mellan deltagare och lärare i bedömningsprocessen. En omvårdande ideologi lyfts fram och problematiseras. Därtill diskuteras betydelsen av gemensam förståelse mellan deltagare och lärare vid bedömning, samt vilka konsekvenser brist på gemensam förståelse kan få. På ett makroplan åskådliggör analysen spänningen mellan deltagarnas erfarenheter och utbildningssystemets krav på formalisering. Vidare genomförs mer utvecklingsfokuserade analyser som vill visa på möjligheterna för kritiskt lärande och förändring i validering. Resultatet demonstrerar också, bland annat, betydelsen av att bli erkänd för sina förmågor och hur detta kan utveckla individens självuppskattning och främja lärande. I studien föreslås det att kommunikativt handlande kan utgöra en norm för hur validering kan utvecklas mot mer kritiskt lärande och positiv förändring. Men också att erkännande av tidigare förmågor kan gynna individens positiva relation till sig själv, hur detta främjar lärande, självuppskattning och hur validering därmed kan utgöra en grund för ett vidare självförverkligande genom arbete.

Full textAbstract:
This work critically interrogates the superhero films of Marvel Studios and their textual treatment of, and the ideological function of, violent action spectacle. In Chapter One, I trace a chronology of superhero films and their corresponding treatment of violence, up to the onset of Marvel Studios, and the release of Jon Favreau’s Iron Man in 2008. I argue that Marvel superhero films respond to the genre’s previously tenuous treatment of spectacle-violence in the face of 9/11 and other instances of sociopolitical violence. Instead, Marvel Studios reappropriates action-violence interludes as ‘safe’ sites for audience enjoyment, undiminished by sociopolitical reflection. In doing so, Marvel crafts a brand identity of ‘reflexive wit,’ further integrating comedy into action sequences, and foregrounding provocative, yet superficial, sociopolitical commentary. In doing so, the Marvel films discourage audience preoccupation with the politics or ethical ramifications of spectacle violence. The films court the sense that, through such reflexivity, no further reflection is necessary, allowing audiences to unrepentantly enjoy the action violence.
In Chapter Two, I explore the narrative techniques employed in Marvel films to foster viewer connection with their superheroes. I argue that the Marvel films draw upon a blend of comic book textual references, mythic intertexts, and pathos and humour, to court a dichotomy of ‘mythic accessibility,’ coding their heroes as sympathetic, valorized, sanctioned, ‘acceptable’ agents of violence. As such, Marvel utilizes violent action spectacle to mediate dominant cultural ideologies. In Chapter Three, I discuss the resonance of this support for the heroic protagonist, arguing the Marvel films thematically perpetuate textual ideologies of deference and unquestioned subservience. Such ideological resonance extends not only to exceptional superheroes, but to the political superstructures they are affiliated with, which are, by proxy, equally valorized (namely, the United States military and NSA, by means of surrogate entity, ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’).
Ultimately, I argue that the Marvel films purportedly privilege an active audience, but subliminally endorse a passive, unreflective one. This allows for textual amplification not only in regards to the scope and intensity of spectacle violence and action combat, but the political intertexts ideologically mediated through said action sequences, rebranded as unreflective ‘fun.’

Full textAbstract:
Esse trabalho tem, por objetivo, reconhecer as estruturas que usam o imaginário divino para legitimar a perpetuação do poder. Para essa compreensão foi usada a hermenêutica filológica e historiográfica modernas, sensíveis às estruturas e manipulações ideológicas. Filologia, segundo Bakhtin e Benveniste, e historiografia para a escola de Annáles. De posse dessas perspectivas hermenêuticas, foi possível avançar em direção ao imaginário bíblico. A Bíblia foi entendida como instrumento de controle usado para legitimar as estruturas de poder do mundo antigo. Nessa pesquisa, o imaginário do mundo antigo figurou como uma espécie de teologia global, em que o imaginário de um Deus Terrível era usado, nas nações do Crescente Fértil, para legitimar a dominação e a perpetuação do poder. Por fim, apoiado na hermenêutica dialógica, foi possível confrontar o imaginário do Deus Terrível com o Deus Amável. A escrita do Segundo Testamento segue os textos de resistência da Bíblia Hebraica e revelam uma dimensão dialógica. O Deus Amável é uma resposta ao Deus Terrível pregado pela ideologia dominante. Essa reflexão permitiu a releitura de diversos textos de confronto para recuperação do sentido. Essa pesquisa é relevante para a prática pastoral, pois a leitura comunitária da Bíblia ainda não percebeu as manipulações ideológicas em que o texto foi produzido.That work has, for objective, to recognize the structures that use the imaginary divine to legitimate the perpetuation of the power. For that understanding it was used the modern philological historiografic hermeneutics, sensitive to the structures and ideological manipulations. Philology, according to Bakhtin and Benveniste, and historiography to the school of Annáles. Of ownership of those perspectives hermeneutics, it was possible to move forward towards the imaginary biblical. The Bible was understood as a control instrument used to legitimate the structures of power of the old world. In that research, the imaginary of the old world was represented as a kind of global theology, in that the imaginary of a Terrible God was used, in the nations of the Fertile Crescent, to legitimate the dominance and the perpetuation of the power. Finally, leaning in the dialogical hermeneutics , it was possible to confront the imaginary of Terrible God with Kind God. The writing of the second testament follows the texts of resistance of the Hebraic Bible and they reveal a dialogical dimension. Kind God is an answer to Terrible God preached by the dominant ideology. That reflection allowed the re-read of several confrontation texts for recovery of the meaning. That research is relevant for the pastoral practice, because the community's reading of the Bible still didn't notice the ideological manipulations in that the text was produced.
