Agis, Derya Fazila. "Pink Angels: Cultural Reproduction Through The Therapies Provided By A Jewish Women." Master's thesis, METU, 2012. http://etd.lib.metu.edu.tr/upload/12615198/index.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
Some Turkish Jewish women have been serving the elderly staying in the geriatric unit of the Jewish Or-Ahayim Hospital in Istanbul. Their group is recognized as &lsquothe Pink Angels.&rsquo
The volunteer women at the Jewish hospital founded a group in 1974, and Nuket Antebi named this group &lsquo
the Pink Angels.&rsquo
Today this group of women is divided into three subgroups: (1) those who offer chat and art therapies, after having been trained, (2) those who distribute foods and beverages, deal with donations, are involved in the preparation process of jam jars, and offer memorial services, and (3) those who assume both duties. The Pink Angels who serve as therapists contribute to the attainment of world peace locally in Istanbul by chatting and reading various texts belonging to various world cultures in the chat therapies and making the patients create works of art and sing songs related to different cultural occasions in the art therapies by promoting global moral values. Sometimes they promote the moral values of other religious and cultural groups by celebrating different feasts and narrating stories belonging to these diverse groups by underscoring the concept unity in diversity and imposing upon the patients that they constitute a family in the hospital. Moreover, not only the foods and beverages the Pink Angels distribute, but also the jam jars and gift baskets they prepare carry Turkish Jewish symbols. This thesis based on fieldwork tests the hypotheses that the Pink Angels employ positive symbols in the therapies and activities they conduct, avoid talking about negative issues, such as sadness and death, not only the therapies, but also all the other activities that the Pink Angels conduct evoke happiness and joy in the patients as long as the Turkish Jewish culture is reproduced, since the patients feel as if they were at home, and several intercultural peace building techniques are employed in the therapies together with symbols and metaphorical imagery emphasizing the importance of peace between different religious and ethnic groups by mentioning the commonalities between them, and the rules obeyed by the Pink Angels provide the patients with comfort, since they conceive that they are in a serious and secure place. Furthermore, the foods cooked everyday in the hospital and the music the patients listen to during the therapies reflect the transcultural identities of the Turkish Jews whose ancestors had lived in different countries and interacted with various cultural groups. Symbolic interactionism is employed in analyzing all of these.

Full textAbstract:
The motivation for this research was to better understand how social class impacts on the reproduction of cultural taste on the basis that access to 'legitimate' culture is predetermined by class position. This was driven by my history as a woman with a working class cultural heritage operating as an artist in a school setting, a predominantly middle class position. The research asks, therefore, the question: what enables transgression from one class/culture to another? [...]

Full textAbstract:
The Mexican American population in the United States, as all other human groups, employ a number of strategies and practices in order to ensure the maintenance and continuation of its members. These strategies are culturally derived, and they have been created by the interaction of people's practices with the social, economic, and political forces of the larger environment. Mexican American culture is reproduced across generations through the enactment of historically constituted social practices or funds of knowledge. These practices are "acted out" by actors within the domain of the household or the family in its relation to the capitalist system. In order to understand cultural reproduction in the Mexican American community, the structure and operation of four households were examined. The practices used by people to meet household members' sustenance, shelter, education, household management, and emotional/psychological needs are explored. Household members practices were divided in three domains: economic, social/recreational, and ceremonial/religious. In a sense then, Mexican Americans are enculturated by carrying out activities appropriate to the immediate cultural setting. In this social setting, children learn appropriate ways of behaving by interacting with other people whom, through verbal and nonverbal ways, teach them the norms appropriate to their cultural group. In addition, children spend a great part of the day in another setting (the school). This setting, as part of the larger environment, influences household members practices, but the institution is affected in return. The interplay of these factors affects students' academic achievement.

Full textAbstract:
L’expérience que les enfants font de leur communauté est le résultat de l’interaction de plusieurs facteurs. Parmi ceux-ci, l’agencéité des enfants est identifiée comme étant d’une grande importance, malgré les contraintes imposées par des facteurs externes tels les structures organisationnelles et institutionnelles ou la participation au sein de registres sémiotiques. En utilisant le cas présenté par les familles militaires francophones de Cold Lake, en Alberta, cette dissertation contribue à tracer le portrait d’enfants qui jouent un rôle d’importance dans l’expérience de la vie communautaire ainsi que dans les processus de formation identitaire au niveau de la communauté. La vie sociale des jeunes francophones de Cold Lake est caractérisée par un haut niveau de mobilité et est assujettie à des registres sémiotiques persistants au travers de discours couvrant des sujets tels la mobilité, le militaire, et l’identité francophone. Le travail ethnographique accompli à Cold Lake permet de décrire une communauté où se rencontrent des individus ayant vécu leur mobilité familiale dans des contextes différents et de documenter les effets de cette diversité sur l’expérience communautaire des enfants ainsi que sur leur concept d’identité et d’appartenance. Cette réflexion est fondée sur un travail the terrain ethnographique autour de la communauté associée à la base de la 4ième Escadre de Cold Lake, une base de l’Aviation royale canadienne. En étudiant une communauté caractérisée par la mobilité de ses membres, je fais la démonstration que la continuité au niveau communautaire, ainsi que la reproduction culturelle, n’est pas nécessairement liée à une continuité au sein de la population. Ce faisant, je présente la communauté comme résultant de l’expérience d’environnements sociaux par le biais d’une l’agencéité entrant en contact avec des registres sémiotiques au sein de structures institutionnelles. Finalement, cette dissertation fait aussi la description des défis et des opportunités que rencontrent les familles militaires francophones de Cold Lake. Leur situation particulière, en tant qu’individus mobiles vivant en marge de plusieurs institutions et organisations, nous permet d’affiner la compréhension des impacts de la mobilité et des conflits de loyauté sur les concepts d’appartenance et d’identité.In this dissertation, I show that while the experience that children have of their community is influenced by external factors such as semiotic registers and structural relationships, it is also shaped through their own agency. Through working with children of French-speaking military families in Cold Lake, Alberta, I contribute to a portrayal of children as playing an important role, not only in how they experience community, but in the very shaping of the community itself. Through a focus on how children of military members attending the French school École Voyageur experience their social environment, it becomes apparent that while this is characterized by a high degree of mobility, they are nevertheless subjected to lasting semiotic registers defined by ongoing discourses surrounding topics such as mobility, the military, and francophone identity. By taking account of how children of mobile families, and adults involved in their lives, express their understanding of their place within various institutions, this dissertation contributes to furthering the understanding of potential effects of various patterns of mobility on childhood experiences of community and concepts of identity and belonging. This work is grounded in data collected during fieldwork in and around a military community associated with 4 Wing Cold Lake, a Royal Canadian Air Force base. What is shown with the data gathered from fieldwork is that continuity in a community, and even cultural maintenance, does not require continuity within the population. In doing so I show that conflicting views concerning the idea of community can be reconciled by describing it as the result of experience of social environments through the encounter of individual agency with semiotic registers and networks of institutional structures. Finally, this work also describes some of the challenges and opportunities encountered by children of French-speaking military families in Cold Lake. Their particular situation, as mobile individuals evolving on the margin of multiple institutions and organisations, makes them subjects of interest to understand the impacts of mobility and of diverging loyalties on concepts of belonging and identity.

Full textAbstract:
A growing amount of research finds that the accumulation of, investment in, and mobilization of certain cultural resources are significant predictors of children's advantageous social development in both institutional settings and interpersonal relationships. Several theories and empirical analyses illustrate the importance of children's leisure-time activities in the accumulation of valuable resources. These cultural resources confer advantages to children, especially in educational settings (e.g. teachers' perception of students, intellectual development, and academic outcomes) because these arenas are often key spaces for social mobility. However, few research studies attempt to empirically pinpoint the socioeconomic origins of children's cultural (dis)advantages. This notable gap in the research literature can be addressed by examining family-level predictors of the accumulation and transmission of these cultural resources. The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between family-level socioeconomic status and children's participation in structured, extracurricular, arts-based activities as well as cultural performance attendance. Drawing on Bourdieu's (1984) concept of 'cultural capital' and Lareau's (2002; 2003) concept of 'concerted cultivation', this study explores whether or not socioeconomic status is a significant predictor of children's participation in extracurricular arts activities as well as attendance of cultural performances using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) and the Child Development Supplement (CDS-II). I evaluate Lareau's class analysis and expand upon it by disaggregating the key dimensions of socioeconomic status and identifying which are the most salient for increased participation in arts-based activities among children in the United States context. I provide a detailed analysis and discussion of the nuanced relationships between socioeconomic status measures and youth participation in the arts.Master of Science

This study examines the role of parental cultural capital as it pertains to whether a student attends a chosen school and whether the quality of the school a student attends is a function of cultural capital. Three theory-based factors representing cultural capital and three factors that represent facets of school quality were created using principal components analysis. Logistic regression was used to determine that cultural capital does play a role in whether a student attends a chosen school. In fact, one aspect of cultural capital, institutional engagement, is the strongest predictor of whether a student attends a chosen school. Linear regression models shed light on the role that different forms of cultural capital and choosing may play in the quality of school that the student attends. While the results are complex, I am able to conclude that cultural capital and choosing do play a role in the quality of school that a student attends, but community and school district characteristics, as well as parental socioeconomic status may play a stronger role. Models control for student and school district characteristics and school clustering effects. Suggestions for future research and implications for policy are discussed.

Aborda o papel da cultura na reprodução do sistema capitalista a partir da obra de Fredric Jameson, que afirma ser o pós-modernismo a lógica cultural da atual fase do capitalismo. Além de contextualizar a emergência histórica do pós-modernismo a partir das mudanças no âmbito econômico e político na segunda metade do século XX, com destaque para a reestruturação produtiva e a implantação do neoliberalismo, caracteriza a cultura como elemento constitutivo do modo de vida contemporâneo, marcado pelo individualismo e pelo consumismo. Apresenta a mercantilização cultural como marca principal da cultura na fase de financeirização da economia e relaciona a hegemonia dessa lógica cultural à dificuldade de organização da classe trabalhadora na atualidade
It approaches the role of culture in the reproduction of the capitalist system from the work of Fredric Jameson, who states that postmodernism is the cultural logic of the capistalism current phase. It does not only contextualize the historical emergency of the postmodernism from the changes in the economic and politician sphere in the second half of the XX century, with special attention to the productive reorganization and the implantation of the neo-liberalism, but also characterizes the culture as a constitutive element in the contemporary way of living, marked by individualism and consumerism. It presents the cultural commercialization as main mark of the culture in the phase of financialization of the economy and it relates the hegemony of this cultural logic to the difficulty of organization of the working class in the present time

Full textAbstract:
Educators face multiple forms of misbehavior in the classroom on a regular basis. Quantitative data in the academic literature indicates that some subgroups, particularly minority students, lower income students and boys, face higher rates of disciplinary actions than their peers. Whether this indicates that those students misbehave more often, whether their actions are perceived differently by educators, or whether they are punished more harshly for their misbehavior are issues that are not well-settled by academic research. This research project addresses this gap in the literature, by addressing how the overrepresentation of subgroups may occur and by addressing the decision-making process in general, regardless of a student’s social characteristics.
This qualitative research project provides an in-depth account of daily life at a rural high school in Kentucky, illustrating instances of misbehavior within the classroom and the various methods that teachers employed to control the misbehaving students. This project gives voice to the teachers, giving consideration to the factors that impacted the decisions they made with respect to consequences for misbehavior.
This research project triangulates observations and interviews with disciplinary data from the school to provide a detailed picture of misbehavior and the resulting consequences. The teachers at this school typically gave students ample opportunity to rectify misbehavior before moving to more serious sanctions and considered consequences for most misbehavior on an individual basis. Nonetheless, minority students were overrepresented among students referred to administrators for misbehavior, indicating the possibility of a cultural mismatch between white educators and students of color. At the administrative level, consequences were fair and consistent, and no evidence of discrimination against any subgroup was demonstrated.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research is to understand definitions of what it means to be a “good” parent as described by parents and child development specialists at a family service organization in the Southeastern United States. Previous research on social reproduction and concerted cultivation have opened up pathways to understanding how social and economic inequality manifest in family life and the social structures of which they are a part. This ethnographic study is an effort to contribute to an anthropology of parenting by unveiling the ways that definitions of “good” parenting in middle-class and wealthy communities reflect time-intensive, attachment-based ideologies that are also encouraged by child development professionals.
Through a mixed-methods approach, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and electronic questionnaire, the author describes how parental beliefs about spending time with children and focusing on developmental milestones become central to ideas about “good” parenting. This widespread ideology is situated within a broader social and economic context to suggest that a system of inequality emerges when parents with less time, knowledge, and other resources are not able to access time-intensive parenting practices in the same way as parents more social and economic capital.

This research is based on the concepts of the social structure theory by Pierre Bourdieu and total production management, which pretends to analyze the process of social reproduction during the application of the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) in a cable manufacturing company following the action research steps. The results shows how the process of social reproduction occurs and the impact of the OEE data, including specific information about the inside rules and the strategies of the involved agents to maintain or look for a new position in the organization. The other part of the results shows how the opportunities of improvements have been identified and the increase of the OEE at the extruder process as a consequence of the execution of the action plan, which is based on the information provided from this tool.

Bell, Eona. "An anthropological study of ethnicity and the reproduction of culture among Hong Kong Chinese families in Scotland." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2011. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/219/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about inter-generational relationships and the reproduction of culture in the family lives of Hong Kong Chinese people in Scotland. It is based on fifteen months of ethnographic fieldwork and informal interviews in family homes, Chinese language schools and community organizations in Edinburgh. A central question is that of ethnicity and how people learn to “be ethnic” while living in a Western, multicultural society. The first part asks what Scottish-born Chinese children learn about ethnicity through growing up in families who work in the ethnic catering trade. Chapter 1 introduces the themes of ambition and achievement, and the mixed emotions associated with this sometimes-stigmatized occupation. Chapter 2 focuses on ideas about the duties of parents, drawing on life stories of three generations of Chinese Scots to describe their decisions concerning childcare and schooling. The second section concerns the learning of specific cultural practices – language and handicrafts – in the institutional context of Chinese complementary schools. Chapters 3 and 4 show that these are important spaces where people feel part of a group with shared moral responsibility for the maintenance and transmission of culture. The question of “authenticity” in both cultural practice and interpersonal relationships is discussed. Chapters 5 and 6 explore how Hong Kong Chinese Scots are responding to the rise of China as a global economic and cultural power. Ethnographic data from Chinese New Year celebrations in Edinburgh, and Mandarin language classes for Cantonese-speaking children suggest that people may engage in “inauthentic” cultural practices for strategic economic or political reasons. However, these articulations of ethnic identity are also important for the nurture of inter-generational relationships. The thesis concludes with the argument that Chinese Scots take a futureorientated approach to family and community life, drawing selectively on the resources of inter-ethnic ties and language to prepare their children for a changing economic and social environment

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted in order to understand Grade 10 Life Science teachers’ perceptions and experiences of teaching human reproduction topics in the Ohangwena political region in the northern part of Namibia. It also explored how the culture of the majority of the inhabitants of Ohangwena region who are Oshiwambo speaking impacts the teaching of human reproduction topics. The study was prompted by the fact that the Grade 10 Life Science syllabus requires learners to learn details of human reproduction although in Oshiwambo culture such things are not discussed openly. And this section has proven to be one of the poorly answered sections in the Grade 10 national examinations. A total of thirty five (35) Grade 10 Life Science teachers participated in this study. It is a qualitative case study underpinned by an interpretive paradigm. The unit of analysis for this study was teachers’ perceptions and experiences of teaching the topic of human reproduction. Data were generated through document analysis, questionnaires and tape recorded semi-structured interviews. Such data were analysed inductively by sorting them into categories and then into emerging themes. Categories included teachers’ views and experiences of being taught and teaching human reproduction, how culture influenced the manner in which teaching and learning of human reproduction takes place as stated in the socio-cultural theory, and how teachers of different gender perceived and experienced the teaching of human reproduction according to the feminist standpoint theory. The emerging themes were colour coded and then developed into analytical statements. Data triangulation, member checking, and follow up interviews ensured data validity and trustworthiness. This study revealed that the cultural belief of the Owambo people that prohibits adults to talk to children about things related to sex because it encourages them to practice sex is still strong among individuals in the community including teachers themselves. As a result, teachers are not comfortable with teaching human reproduction topics. From the findings, it is recommended that teachers should be empowered to teach Life Science, specifically human reproduction topics, with confidence. Furthermore, parents should be made aware of the importance of including human reproduction topics in the school curriculum so that they can motivate their children to study it with an open mind.

Burmese refugees are entering the US at record speed. Resettlement agencies focus on immediate needs, and ethnic community-based organizations (ECBOs) fill any service gaps through community-driven programs. The Tampa Bay Burmese Council (TBBC) is an ECBO in Tampa, FL dedicated to the Burmese community. This research explores the reproductive beliefs of the women in the community, paying particular attention to any differences that arise due to beliefs specific to their ethnic group. Findings include the importance of menses for women's health, the preference for both male and female children, a lack of knowledge about family planning methods, a tendency to use family planning only after the ideal family composition is reached, and periods of food and activity prohibitions during pregnancy and the postpartum period. The recommendations offered will be used by the TBBC to apply for grants to fund needed community-based services.

Full textAbstract:
Using Bourdieu's model of social and cultural reproduction, I examine student achievement and parental involvement levels across seven immigrant nationalities: Cambodian, Cuban, Filipino, Laotian, Mexican, Nicaraguan, and Vietnamese. I then analyze the relationships between five parental involvement types and GPA, while controlling for student, family, and school characteristics. Finally, I test for interaction effects to examine variations across groups. Results point to parent expectations as a strong predictor of student success, especially among Cubans, Filipinos, and Vietnamese, while other dimensions of parental involvement have little or no effect. Bourdieu's model may not be adequate among immigrant parents and their children who follow a pattern of dissonant acculturation.

This work is the result of ethnographic research accomplished among the Guarani Tekohá Itamarã, from Diamante do Oeste - Pr. The scope of this study is to understand contemporary cultural reproduction of these authocthon people, mainly concerning their ritual practices. The constant intercultural contact is a trademark of historical trajectory of this indigenous ethnic, which in the course of this process had elaborate visibility and survivor strategies, physical and cultural. This is the meaning pursued by the lines below, that show the contribution of the mythological framework and body strategies for cultural "maintenance" of the current Guarani group.

This research investigates the intentions of the National High School Examination (ENEM) in contrast to both the forms of apprehension of cultural capital and the provisions of the game of classifications and declassifications by the school social agents, expressed by the discourses and strategies employed. For this, Bourdieu's method of praxiological knowledge was chosen, whose theory served as theoretical reference and support of data analysis. It was opportune, it was decided that the object of study should be observed in public schools of the same Federal Unit, which is why three middle schools of the Distrito Federal were selected, belonging to Administrative Regions whose socioeconomic conditions are different: High School (CEM) Piloto Plano, CEM Ceilândia and CEM Recanto das Emas. Aiming at a more effective field research, it was decided to diversify the instruments and strategies of data collection: direct observation, with the help of the field diary; application of questionnaires with open and closed questions; and interviews with semi-structured script. The investigation had a total of 281 respondents from the questionnaires - directors, teachers and students - among which 28 of these agents were interviewed. From the theoretical reference, the discussion dealt with the fundamental logic of the exams, which is to select and exclude; and unveiled some of the mechanisms that lead students from privileged classes to achieve a better performance in the Exam. This is because, besides incorporating in an "osmotic" way a favorable habitus in the school field, they can employ better strategies against the privileged capitals that they possess. The data collected were analyzed from the following categories: a) Acquisition of cultural capital; (b) reproduction and processing strategies; c) Legitimation and its forms; and d) Resistance. It was identified that three particular forms of legitimation of the Examination stand out: by the discourse, by the policies with social acceptance that were attached to it and by the "support" to the students. As for the policies linked to the ENEM, these have allowed some social advances, while at the same time reinforcing the legitimacy of the inequalities that still continue to operate by it. In turn, the results point out that contradictorily the school unit most affected by the rules of the Exam is the one that most legitimizes it. One of the factors that confirms this is the race issue. This unit, that of CEM Recanto das Emas, has 78% of blacks among its students, in contrast to 61% of CEM Plano Piloto and 76% of CEM Ceilândia. However, only 47% of its students approve racial quotas, compared to 65% of CEM Plano Piloto students' approval and 71% of CEM Ceilândia. Another factor that confirms more legitimacy for the most penalized school is the teacher evaluation of the ENEM selection form: 75% of the teachers participating in CEM Recanto das Emas consider it fair, while 50% of the CEM Plano Piloto teachers and 62, 5% of CEM Ceilândia teachers consider this. On the other hand, it should be pointed out that, although the school system is one of the State's reproductive instruments, the existence of discourses and resistance practices in the schools investigated suggests that it is possible to fight for a school system whose political-pedagogical orientation is beyond reproduction.
Esta pesquisa investiga as intencionalidades do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) em contraste tanto com as formas de apreensão do capital cultural quanto com as disposições do jogo das classificações e desclassificações, pelos agentes sociais escolares, expressas pelos discursos e estratégias empregados. Para tal, elegeu-se o método do conhecimento praxiológico de Bourdieu, cuja teoria serviu como referencial teórico e suporte de análise dos dados. Por oportuno, optou-se que o objeto de estudo fosse observado em escolas públicas de uma mesma Unidade da Federação, razão pela qual foram selecionadas três escolas de ensino médio do Distrito Federal, pertencentes a Regiões Administrativas cujas condições socioeconômicas são distintas: o Centro de Ensino Médio (CEM) Plano Piloto, o CEM Ceilândia e o CEM Recanto das Emas. Visando a uma pesquisa de campo mais efetiva, decidiu-se pela diversificação dos instrumentos e estratégias de coleta de dados: observação direta, com o auxílio do diário de campo; aplicação de questionários com questões abertas e fechadas; e realização de entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado. A investigação contou com o total de 281 respondentes dos questionários – diretores, professores e estudantes –, dentre os quais 28 desses agentes foram entrevistados. A partir do referencial teórico, a discussão tratou da lógica fundamental dos exames, que é selecionar e excluir; e desvelou alguns dos mecanismos que levam os estudantes oriundos de classes privilegiadas a alcançarem um melhor rendimento no Exame. Isso porque, além de incorporarem de maneira “osmótica” um habitus favorável no campo escolar, podem empregar melhores estratégias face aos capitais privilegiados que possuem. Efetuou-se a análise dos dados coletados a partir das seguintes categorias: a) Aquisição do capital cultural; b) Estratégias de reprodução e de transformação; c) Legitimação e suas formas; e d) Resistência. Identificou-se que se destacam três formas particulares de legitimação do Exame: pelo discurso, pelas políticas com aceitação social que se lhe atrelaram e pelo “suporte” aos estudantes. Quanto às políticas atreladas ao ENEM, essas permitiram alguns avanços sociais, ao mesmo tempo em que reforçaram a legitimação das desigualdades que ainda continuam operadas por ele. Por sua vez, os resultados apontam que contraditoriamente a unidade escolar mais prejudicada pelas regras do Exame é a que mais o legitima. Um dos fatores que confirma isso é a questão racial. Essa unidade, a do CEM Recanto das Emas, apresenta entre os seus estudantes o índice de 78% de negros, em contraste com 61% do CEM Plano Piloto e 76% do CEM Ceilândia. No entanto, apenas 47% de seus estudantes aprovam as cotas raciais, frente aos 65% de aprovação dos estudantes do CEM Plano Piloto e 71% do CEM Ceilândia. Outro fator que confirma maior legitimação pela escola mais penalizada é a avaliação docente da forma de seleção do ENEM: 75% dos professores participantes do CEM Recanto das Emas a consideram justa, ao passo em que 50% dos professores do CEM Plano Piloto e 62,5% dos professores do CEM Ceilândia assim a consideram. Por outro lado, destaca-se que, embora o sistema escolar seja um dos instrumentos de reprodução do Estado, a existência de discursos e práticas de resistência nas escolas investigadas aponta ser possível sim lutar por um sistema escolar cuja orientação político-pedagógica seja para além da reprodução.

Full textAbstract:
A presente pesquisa busca examinar o movimento pela preservação do quarteirão do Itaim Bibi, o qual, no contexto atual da reprodução da metrópole, configura-se como uma luta pelo uso do espaço. Partimos, primeiramente, dos pressupostos mais gerais sobre a produção do espaço, que, sob a influência da mundialização, momento específico do capitalismo, determina-o como condição da reprodução do capital. Também considerando que a metrópole se torna um dos momentos necessários da acumulação, buscamos compreender os processos contraditórios que emergem da reprodução do urbano, tomando como referência a Operação Urbana Faria Lima e o bairro do Itaim Bibi. Assim, nosso trabalho é desenvolvido no sentido de compreender tanto o significado do quarteirão do Itaim no contexto da metrópole e do próprio bairro quanto da luta que se formou em defesa de sua preservação. Nesse percurso, nossa análise procurou desvendar de que maneira o quarteirão do Itaim nos revela em sua própria produção a contradição entre o valor de uso (apropriação) e o valor de troca (dominação) do espaço, mais precisamente a contradição, materializada inclusive na paisagem urbana atual do bairro, entre o uso público do espaço e a reprodução da cidade como negócio. Procuramos analisar o papel do Movimento SOS Quarteirão do Itaim como expressão das mobilizações sociais em defesa do patrimônio cultural, inclusive apontando seus aspectos ambivalentes, isto é, ora com potencial político de questionar os processos hegemônicos em curso, ora reafirmando seus discursos conservadores. Nesse sentido, levando em consideração o ponto de vista social e não somente do poder da classe capitalista que domina o processo urbano, discutimos ainda o significado das lutas pelo espaço, que evidenciam as contradições do processo da reprodução da metrópole e podem ter o potencial de produzir uma sociedade mais democrática e espaços socialmente mais justos.The present research seeks to examine the movement for the preservation of the Itaim Bibi block, which, in the current context of reproduction of the metropolis, appears as a struggle for space. We start, first, from the most general assumptions on the production of space, which, under the influence of globalization, a specific moment of capitalism, determine it as the condition to the reproduction of capital. Also considering that the metropolis becomes one of the necessary stages of accumulation, we try to understand the contradictory processes that emerge from the reproduction of the city, with reference to the Urban Operation Faria Lima and the Itaim Bibi neighborhood. Our work is developed in order to understand both the meaning of the Itaim block in the context of the metropolis and the neighborhood itself, and the struggle that was formed in defense of their preservation. Along this route, our analysis sought to unveil how the Itaim block reveals in its own production the contradiction between use value (appropriation) and exchange value (domination) of space, more precisely the contradiction, embodied even in the current urban landscape of the district, between the public use of space and the reproduction of the city as a business. We seek to analyze the role of SOS Itaim Movement as an expression of social mobilizations in defense of cultural heritage, pointing also their ambivalent aspects, that is, sometimes with political potential to challenge hegemonic processes, sometimes reaffirming their conservative discourses. In that sense, taking into account the social point of view, and not only the power of the capitalist class that dominates the urban process, we also discussed the significance of the struggles for space, which show that the contradictions of the metropolis reproduction process and could have the potential to produce a more democratic society and spaces that are more socially just.

Full textAbstract:
Si la formation du conducteur a connu ses débuts en même temps que la naissance de l'automobile, l'éducation routière en tant que phénomène social s'est développée à partir de la deuxième moitié du XXème siècle. Depuis cette période, les évaluations de ces actions de formation ont pointé les difficultés à réduire le nombre et la gravité des accidents de la circulation. Ce constat n'est pas faute d'investissement des pouvoirs publics : en effet, les politiques de sécurité routière n'ont cessé, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, de placer l'éducation routière au centre du dispositif de prévention. Nous avons cherché à identifier la naissance et la persistance de ce paradoxe dans la pratique des acteurs de la sécurité routière, et dans la production et la reproduction d'une culture commune du risque propre à la modernité. Nous avons exercé cette investigation à partir de l'observation et de l'analyse des pratiques d'éducation routière auxquelles nous avons accès à titre d'intervenant en formation du conducteur, d'enseignant de la conduite et de psychologue intervenant en stage de sensibilisation dans le cadre du permis à points. Notre recherche est structurée, par conséquent, autour d'un travail de terrain par immersion dans les centres de formation, alimentée par des lectures en philosophie des techniques (Illich, Canguilhem, Simondon, Stiegler) et en sociologie du risque (Beck, Douglas, Duclos) mises en perspectives avec la théorie psychosociologique de l'homéostasie du risque (Wilde).

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse évalue les effets combinés des valeurs culturelles et des frictions du marché du travail sur les choix d'éducation des individus et leur comportement au chômage. Le premier chapitre propose une explication à la reproduction sociale. J'utilise un modèle de générations imbriquées où les parents transmettent des valeurs plus ou moins favorables à l'emploi et où l'enfant choisit son éducation et cherche un emploi. La transmission se fait sous information imparfaite sur les capacités scolaires de son enfant. Dans les familles privilégiées, les parents ne doutent pas de la réussite de leur progéniture, et transmettent une forte valeur pro-emploi. Ce mécanisme accroît l'immobilité sociale. Le deuxième chapitre montre comment calculer l'assurance-chômage dans un cas où les préférences endogènes sont représentées par un choix optimal d'une estime de soi au travail qui peut être complémentaire ou substituable au salaire. En négligeant la nature endogène et spécifique à l'état de l'estime de soi, une approche de statistiques suffisantes peut appeler, à tort, à une expansion de l'assurance-chômage. Le troisième chapitre analyse la relation entre l'éthique au travail et la décision de toucher des prestations en cas de chômage avec un modèle de recherche d'emploi où les parents transmettent une estime de soi au travail. Augmenter les allocations chômage ou baisser le coût du recours augmente la probabilité de toucher des prestations, tandis que diminuer le coût de recherche d'emploi diminue les taux de chômage et de participation via une augmentation de l'éthique au travail (pour un risque chômage plus faible), entraînant une stigmatisation du chômageThis dissertation assesses the combined effects of cultural values and labor market frictions on individuals' educational investments and unemployment behaviors. The first chapter proposes an explanation to social reproduction. I use an overlapping generations model where parents transmit values more or less favorable to employment and the child chooses education and looks for a job. Transmission occurs through imperfect information about their offspring's scholastic ability. In privileged families, parents do not doubt about their offspring's success on the labor market, and transmit a strong pro-employment value. I find that this mechanism increases social immobility.The second chapter assesses how to compute optimal UI in a case where endogenous preferences are represented by an optimal choice of self-esteem at work which can either be complementary or substitutable to work income. While neglecting the state-specific and endogenous nature of self-esteem weights, a sufficient statistics approach may wrongly call for UI expansions. The third chapter analyzes the relationship between inherited work ethic and the decision to take up benefits in case of unemployment with a search model where parents transmit self-esteem at work to their offspring. An increase in non employment income or a decrease of the claiming cost increase the probability of taking benefits up in the case of unemployment, while a decrease in the searching cost decreases the unemployment rate and the take-up rates. This last result comes from an increase of employment self-esteem when the unemployment risk is lower, which itself leads to an increase in unemployment stigma

Full textAbstract:
This study details the Medically Assisted Procreation regulations in thirty-five nation-states, and explores the influence of national identity, social cultural and demographic differences on these regulations. Detailed data were gathered from ministries of health, offices of prime ministers, embassy staff, and others on regulations for each nation. These data were used to categorize the nations in regard to MAP legislation status and regulatory policy regarding marital or age restrictions; posthumous conception; sperm, ovum, or embryo donation, surrogacy; and policy on handling donors. Possible associations between national identity, social cultural, and demographic data for each nation and their regulations were explained. The thirty-five nations were treated as a population with common geographical and political ties. PRE methods, and eta coefficients were used to assess the associations. Sixteen nations have adopted MAP legislation, eight nations have either alternative regulatory guidelines or partial structures, four nations have legislation pending and possibly some laws, and seven nations are unregulated. Based upon statistical analysis, language group emerges as an important indicator for differences in MAP regulations. For example knowing a nation's language group enabled percent improved prediction of that nation's regulatory handling of embryo donation. The percent GDP spent on health care was found to have a substantial or moderate association with most regulations. The findings of this study indicate that the cultural roots associated with national identity as well as economic circumstances such as health care budgets impact the policy making process responsible for the regulation of MAP in Europe. Among other mediating circumstances, MAP related family law cases brought to the European Court of Human Rights create an accumulation of judge-made law, which help create a common European standard. This study of the European region provides a baseline for further research and a reference for cross cultural comparisons.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo descrever os principais aspectos das culturas da infância Tapeba, com base nas produções culturais dessa etnia e na reconstrução dos significados dessas produções pelas crianças. Como fundamentação teórica para o alcance de tal objetivo, baseamo-nos na Sociologia da Infância, e para esse fim foram utilizados principalmente os estudo de Sarmento (2003, 2004, 2005), Corsaro (2009), Canclini (2000) e Bujes (1012). Os dados analisados resultaram de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de cunho etnográfico, constituído a partir da técnica da entrevista semiestruturada e da observação participante. A análise realizada revelou que as crianças são sujeitos que participam ativamente dos processos culturais da comunidade Tapeba, que se apropriam dos costumes dessa etnia na escola e na família. Além disso, essas crianças criam e recriam sua cultura nas práticas lúdicas entre pares. Portanto, elas criam e recriam sua cultura no brincar, nas atividades escolares e no cotidiano familiar.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study on how a group of ten pupils choose their upper secondary schools (gymnasium). All pupils are ninth graders in a middle school in Husby which is a suburb of Stockholm. Like the big majority of Husby citizens, they all have immigrant backgrounds and their time in Sweden varies; some are born here while others are born abroad and migrated later with their parents. My aim was to understand their upper secondary school choices through own and their parents’ "cultural capital". I based my study on Bourdieu’s theory on social reproduction and I used his terminology and definitions of cultural capital, interest, field, habitus and strategies. I investigated if and in what way these children follow the tracks of their parents in terms of future educational and working plans but even in terms of common cultural and leisure activities and the way they affect their upper secondary school choice. The Swedish upper secondary school is divided in 18 different specializations, 12 technical and 6 theoretical, respectively. In the first, the pupils are prepared for a technical profession and in the second, they prepare for further academic studies. I was interested in finding out the pupils’ strategies in fulfilling their educational and professional dreams in connection with their choice of upper secondary specialization and their parents’ educational and cultural interests and backgrounds. I used a qualitative method, specifically interviews. I transcribed the interviews and I tried to relate what was said to Bourdieu’s theory. I was mostly inspired by the phenomenological approach where the interviewer avoids taking position and focuses on the message the person being interviewed tries to communicate. Most families in my study have a relatively law cultural capital and even though some have had academic studies and high status professions in their home countries they have had jobs that did not match their education level in Sweden. Most children aim high in the educational rank and especially those who come from high educated parents seem to have a better knowledge of the Swedish educational system and how to better move into it.

Previous issue date: 2005Over the last years we have seen a significant increase in scholarly production within the organization studies field in Brazil. However it is still not representative. The tendency to consume foreign and fashionable ideas unrestrainedly, to make use of imported, universal and non-contextualized explanations to inquiry phenomenon which are essentially local and particular, make it difficult to develop a true Brazilian tradition. This work is a result of an ambitious ethnographic adventure' of an acknowledged apprentice of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu's large body of knowledge. It is about taking reflexivity to the limit. It is about learning 'through the body' in an effort - both theoretical and empirical - to investigate a Brazilian organizational phenomenon which reproduces the hierarchical side of our society and, under the disguise of the legitimacy offered by organizational discourse, help keeping the very structure of our society in a silent but powerful way. I also want this work to be an alert for the importance of contextualization as a means to avoid a recurring distortion of the scholarly production in administrative science: the mobilization of theoretical references in such a safe way that make explicitness totally unnecessary, the appropriation of concepts whose essence is strange to the nature of the very phenomenon which they aim to explain, and the insistence in the impersonal style, in third-voice narratives, as if it were possible to produce knowledge in social sciences with absolute impartiality. '
A produção brasileira no campo dos estudos organizacionais tem aumentado significativamente nos últimos anos mas ainda é pouco representativa. A tendência de consumir idéias e modismos estrangeiros indiscriminadamente, valendo-se de interpretações importadas, universalizantes e descontextualizadas para examinar fenômenos que são, na sua essência, locais e particulares, dificulta o desenvolvimento de uma tradição genuinamente brasileira. Esta trabalho é resultado de uma aventura' etnográfica ambiciosa de um aprendiz confesso da vasta obra do sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu. É sobre levar a reflexividade ao extremo. É sobre 'aprender pelo corpo' num esforço a um só tempo teórico e empírico para investigar as confrarias, um fenômeno organizacional brasileiro que reproduz nas organizações o lado hierarquizado da nossa sociedade e, sob o manto da legitimidade que os discursos organizacionais lhes conferem, ajudam a manter a estrutura da nossa própria sociedade de forma silenciosa mas poderosa. Pretendo, também, que este trabalho seja um alerta para a importância do esforço de contextualização como meio de evitar uma distorção recorrente na produção acadêmica em administração: a mobilização de referenciais tão seguros que nem precisam ser explicitados, a apropriação de conceitos cuja essência é estranha à natureza dos próprios fenômenos os quais pretendem explicar, e a insistência no estilo impessoal, nas narrativas em terceira pessoa, como se fosse possível produzir conhecimento em ciências sociais com absoluta neutralidade.

Full textAbstract:
Chuuk, one state of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), experiences significant transnational migration to the United States (U.S.), particularly to the Territory of Guam. This migration is facilitated by the Compact of Free Association (COFA), an agreement with several Micronesian countries previously under U.S. administration that allows for free movement of their citizens into the U.S. Although part of Micronesia, Guam's colonized residents resist an identity connected to rest of Micronesia. With very poor health outcomes, the Chuukese represent a political and social body of bodies that bring sickness, babies and increased costs to the Guam government without adequate compensation by their colonizer sanctioning the migration. In order to better understand why Chuukese women suffer disproportionately poor reproductive health outcomes as compared to the rest of Guam's residents, this multi-sited dissertation examines how Chuukese women's reproduction is constructed and conceptualized by women, their families, and their "home" and "host" communities, and how these meanings are mediated by transnational migrant experiences between Chuuk and Guam. Using a critical interpretive framework, this study utilized participant observation in the clinics and communities, interviews with health care workers, and in-depth life history interviews with fifteen Chuukese women. This dissertation situates Chuukese women's reproduction in the context of transnational migration through an analysis of social, economic and political processes, health and social services policies and practices, postcolonial migration and sociocultural meanings of reproduction for Chuukese women in both Chuuk and Guam.

Moran, Alexander James Paul. "Cultural reproduction in contemporary American fiction." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7683/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the ways in which David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Franzen, Michael Chabon, Jennifer Egan, and Colson Whitehead react against the historical, institutional, and formal limits imposed upon contemporary fiction and culture. It argues that in order to counteract such constraints, they embrace and co-opt older forms and values as enabling for their fiction. To map these processes and relationships, I read these five writers as engaging with and reflective of the concept of cultural reproduction. Building largely from Raymond Williams’s definitions, the lens of cultural reproduction acknowledges what Williams terms the ‘limits and pressures’ of the contemporary – such as the inheritance of postmodernism, creative writing programs, technological changes, and commercial demands – but also how these writers display agency in reaction to such limits. Chapter One uses pragmatist philosopher John Dewey’s theories of habit to suggest Wallace’s work explores the way culture is reproduced habitually. Chapter Two contends that Franzen’s attention to these processes is distinctly melodramatic, and his writing embodies melodrama, rather than his stated realism. Chapter Three examines Chabon, Egan, and Whitehead as representative of the ‘genrefication’ of contemporary American fiction, and how each embrace genre forms to respond to different elements and processes of cultural reproduction.

Full textAbstract:
The commodification of culture, space, and resources is incentivized by neoliberal urbanism. In response, we have seen an attempt to develop collectively organized, oppositional spaces within urban places. The tensions that arise when considering the production of commons in the development of the neoliberal city are the central focus of this paper. As I will observe, these spaces are subjected to commodification as they become increasingly de-politicized through neoliberal ideologies. In order to theorize about these contradictory elements, I observe a makerspace in Richmond, Virginia called HackRVA. Specifically, I consider HackRVA as an urban commons. Through in-depth interviews and participant observation, I consider how HackRVA engages with the neoliberal city of Richmond and how the organization and maintenance of their space and their community reflects commoning as social reproduction. I find that HackRVA’s relationship to the city is complicated as the community within the space both contests and assimilates to the creative economy.

Miranda, Veronica. "REPRODUCING CHILDBIRTH: NEGOTIATED MATERNAL HEALTH PRACTICES IN RURAL YUCATAN." UKnowledge, 2017. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/anthro_etds/25.
Full textAbstract:
This ethnographically informed dissertation focuses on the ways rural Yucatec Maya women, midwives and state health care workers participate in the production of childbirth and maternal health care practices. It further addresses how state health programs influence the relationships and interactions between these groups. Although childbirth practices in Yucatan have always been characterized by contestation, negotiation and change, their intensity and speed have significantly increased over the last decade. Drastic changes in the maternal health of rural indigenous communities in Mexico and throughout the world are directly connected to intensified state interventions that favor biomedicine over traditional health systems. In rural Yucatan, state health programs such as Oportunidades and Seguro Popular support a biomedical approach to birth by distributing medical resources to government clinics/hospitals and encouraging program participation of poor women through conditional cash incentives.
This dissertation seeks to interrogate changing childbirth practices in a rural indigenous community in Quintana Roo, MX to gain a deeper understanding of the complex politics that shape local understandings and approaches to childbirth. It further explores how shifting social relations and political alliances are created within the context of reproductive health. This ethnography highlights how Yucatec Maya women envision a productive, yet negotiated, relationship with the state that allows them control of their prenatal and maternal health while engaging with state health programs. Focusing on the cultural production of childbirth in a rural community in southwestern Quintana Roo, this research seeks to explore the dynamic ways in which indigenous communities are reproduced over time through moments of engagement and contestation with the state. The Maya women in this dissertation exist at the margins of the Mexican government’s concerns, policies, and resources. Yet, even at the margins the influence and power of state ideology and policies intimately affect the lives of rural indigenous women. The core argument of this dissertation is that these women, who rely on traditional and historical experience, create strategies for survival and social reproduction despite their marginalized position within the Mexican state.
This research draws from over a decade of fieldwork. Predissertation fieldwork took place during the summer months of 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2010. I completed my dissertation fieldwork from January to October of 2013. During that time, I conducted 60 formal and informal interviews and a small survey. Additionally, a large portion of my research took place with a local family that consisted of female healers and health educators, whom I extensively interviewed and conducted hundreds of hours of participant observation. The family was the locus of authoritative knowledge in the community and they provided vital insights into community life and local understandings and approaches to reproductive health. This dissertation follows the Latin American tradition of using testimonios to articulate—and reflexively examine—the layered meanings and intersecting politics that shape changing childbirth practices in rural Yucatan.

Full textAbstract:
In the United States, concerns about adolescent childbearing and its perceived corollaries – negative health outcomes for mother and child, the disintegration of the nuclear family, and “over-dependence” on public resources – began to circulate widely in policy spheres and popular media in the 1970’s, resulting in a proliferation of policies, programs, and services designed to address its prevention. Although national birth rates among adolescents are currently at their lowest since peaking in the early 1990’s, this decline masks persistent and significant disparities between groups of young people by race, ethnicity, geography, and poverty level. The concomitant existence of social and economic inequities that contribute to these differences is particularly striking in New York City; an urban center of vast extremes in health, wealth, and opportunity, but which boasts extensive reproductive health services for young people, including confidential care and availability of free or low-cost contraception. Within this setting, the promotion of hormonal and long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, specifically aimed at young women deemed at high risk of pregnancy and with less access to health care, has emerged as a key primary prevention strategy to reduce both overall adolescent pregnancy rates and disparities between adolescent groups. Using ethnographic methods, this research examined the promulgation and interpretation of this strategy by reproductive health leaders and healthcare workers as well as contextualized these perspectives with the reproductive decisions and fertility desires of female youth for whom this strategy is intended. As a result, this study elucidates broader political and socio-cultural contexts in which young women negotiate intimate relationships and contraceptive use. Recommendations are subsequently offered for clinical practices attuned to female youths’ lived experiences, educational programs for healthcare workers, and reproductive health policies reflective of the broader factors that influence contraceptive behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
La plupart des chercheurs (historiens, démographes, sociologues, anthropologues et autres experts qu'ils soient nationaux ou internationaux) qui ont travaillé sur le Rwanda affirment que l'accroissement rapide et la forte densité qui caractérisent sa population sont les signes d'un surpeuplement qui serait à l'origine de la pauvreté et une entrave au décollage économique de ce petit pays de l'Afrique centrale. D'autres avancent l'idée selon laquelle la guerre de 1990 et son point culminant qu'est le génocide de 1994 prendraient leur origine dans cette croissance démographique galopante et non maîtrisée qui aurait provoqué une promiscuité sociale étouffante où chaque groupe social aurait tenté de se trouver une place et un statut social. Tout en acceptant l'idée que l'équilibre entre population et ressources peut présenter structurellement des moments malthusiens, Jean-Claude Ndungutse montre que, tout au long de l'évolution de la société rwandaise, d'autres facteurs ont joué notamment les aléas climatiques, les modes de productions déséquilibrés, les ravageurs des plantes comme des criquets pèlerins et autres facteurs sociaux (violences, inégalités sociales, mauvaise gouvernance et crimes politiques, maladies et autres. . . ) qui tous, ont contribué à la dégradation du potentiel productif dans le milieu rural agricole au Rwanda. Jean-Claude Ndungutse s'inscrit dans la vision d'Esther Boserup et aborde le sujet dans une approche historique, sociologique et anthropologiqueThe main part of local and international researchers (historians, demographers, sociologists, anthropologists and other experts) who have worked on Rwanda say that the speedy increase and the high density characterizing its population are signs of underdevelopment which is a source of poverty and a hamper of the economic take off of that small country located in the central Africa. Other people believe that the 1990 war which led to 1994 genocide have their main origin in the galloping and non controlIed increase of population which provoked a tough social promiscuity where each social group tries its best to get a room and a social status. If we do accept the idea that the equilibrium between a population and its resources may structurally conduct to Malthusian moments, Jean-Claude Ndungutse shows that during the changes of the Rwandese society, some other factors such as climatic ales the inadequate production system, the plantations invaders such as insects and other social factors (violence, social inequity, bad governance and political crimes, illness, etc. . . ) should be taken into account to explain the situation. AlI of them had contributed to deteriorate the production potentials in the Rwandese agricultural rural area. Jean-Claude Ndungutse has the same point of view as Esther Boserup and treats the subject in a historical, sociological and anthropological approach

Thesis advisor: Stephen PfohlParenthood is one of the most salient, fundamental roles that adults adopt cross-culturally, yet, as this dissertation will show, the process of becoming a parent is culturally fraught with both meaning and privilege. In particular, I focus on the cultural tensions of biological parenthood, exploring what the biological relationship between parent and child means for various groups, and how the concept of biological parenthood is judged differently for those different populations. Specifically, I focus on young parents (who society deems unfit to both reproduce and to parent) and teen pregnancy prevention efforts, birthparents who relinquish infants for adoption (who society deems fit to reproduce, but unfit to parent) and the consequences for their lifecourses, and individuals experiencing infertility (who society deems fit to both reproduce and parent - but challenges their ways of achieving either) and their interactions with the biomedical model and healthcare system. From each population, we can gain more nuanced insight into the role of biology in framing parenthood, and how society determines whose parenthood is "acceptable," allowable, and supported. Finally, I draw specific recommendations from each piece, hoping to gain insight into how changes to sexual education, reproductive health advocacy, adoption policy, and the healthcare system can improve the outcomes for vulnerable, marginalized populations and legitimate the pathways to parenthood for all

Full textAbstract:
Young women with breast cancer have been found to experience their disease more negatively and more intensely than their older counterparts. However 'young' is not uniformly defined within the literature. Studies have reported on a wide range of ages considered to be 'young', such as samples simply divided by menopausal status or other researcher-defined parameters. For the purpose of this study, young women with breast cancer were defined as those diagnosed at 40 years of age or younger. The overarching aim of the study was to explore the problems faced by this group of young women using qualitative methodology, guided by constructionist epistemology, and grounded in symbolic interactionism and social constructionism. The study was conducted longitudinally, with data collected three times over a 12-18 month period using one-to-one in-depth semi-structured interviews. Baseline data were collected in the first phase of the study (n=35). A sub-group of participants (n=13) were chosen to be followed twice more approximately six months apart, which made up the next two phases. Themes derived from the literature guided the first phase of the study, data collection and analysis. Data analysis was performed after each data collection phase, with findings informing the next phase/s of the study. Thematic and content analysis were utilized in regards to the analysis of the first phase of the study, providing a framework identifying the most pressing concerns, such as those centred around children and partners, emotional aspects and negative physical consequences of treatment. Interrelationships between these themes were apparent. Findings suggest that the emotional support needs of this group of young women remains a challenge. Basic analytical principles of data reduction, data display and drawing conclusions guided the following phases of the analysis. NUD*IST (N6) software was utilized to help undertake in-depth analysis of all follow-up data. The literature concentrates on infertility as a concern for young women with breast cancer, however the study found that fertility per se was a concern for this group of women. Issues of maintained and regained fertility were reported, i.e., concerns surrounding suitable, safe and reliable contraception, pregnancy and breastfeeding after breast cancer. Over time, perceptions of fertility changed. Decisions related to unplanned pregnancies and breastfeeding were particularly onerous. The study also provided other insights into the participants' lives. Body image is suggested to be of greater concern for younger women with breast cancer than their older counterparts. Perceptions of breast symbolism, societal and personal, were explored, as were perceptions of the external portrayal of their bodies. In addition, the participants reported how their experience of breast cancer differed from that of older women with breast cancer, e.g., to be and dress more sexually. Theories and notions of social constructionism and the social construction of the body helped explain the participants' experiences. The women were acutely aware of the sexual importance society placed on women's breasts. Social norms and expectations and cultural trends, that is the youth and beauty culture, were found to greatly influence the participants' perceptions and hence decisions made. Prosthesis use and breast reconstructive surgery were viewed as normalising efforts undertaken by participants to reduce stigma related to breast loss/disfigurement and to enhance body image. The findings from this study provide a greater understanding of the issues, concerns and experiences of young women with breast cancer and provide information that could be utilized in the redesign of educational/information resources to provide these women with relevant information. Currently available support services may also benefit from these findings as greater understanding of these women's experiences may facilitate and promote the provision of more age-appropriate support for young women with breast cancer diagnosed in the future.

Full textAbstract:
Despite proponents' claims of its embodying and enabling democratic action, collaborative learning in the composition classroom often functions to reproduce the privileged discourses and knowledge of dominant cultures, effacing and denying differences in race, class, and gender. Moreover, such functions are masked by normalized structural and discursive conditions of education and routinized pedagogical practices that rarely face critical scrutiny---what this dissertation refers to as the techniques and technologies of collaborative learning. If teachers and students in composition studies can engage in what Pierre Bourdieu calls epistemic reflexivity (a critical effort to unmask the social and intellectual unconscious embedded in routinized procedures of knowledge production), the collaborative classroom can become a site for resisting and critiquing, rather than reproducing, the status quo.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates the role of architecture in the conservation of intangible heritage with specific reference to the ‘Marabi’ culture, a vibrant township culture unique to Marabastad in the North West of Pretoria which played a formative role in the development of South African popular culture from as early as the 1930’s. Due to the relocation of its citizens, the demolition of the Royal Theatre (together with the decommissioning of the Empire and Orient theatres) and the increasing effects of global cultural homogenization Marabastad has become dislocated from its cultural heritage. The principle aim of the dissertation is to re-introduce aspects of Marabastad’s cultural heritage within it’s current context. The proposal intends to revive historical cultural practices by re-establishing the physical loci that once hosted them, which in the context of Marabastad, are the The Royal, Empire and Orient theatres. The proposed intervention focuses specifically on the site of the Royal Theatre which was demolished in 1967. The project aims to (re)introduce a multi-form theatre on the site which will once again facilitate the cultural practices unique to the Marabi culture. The architectural response is informed primarily by the following: 1. The historical function of the ‘Marabi’ theatre as a multi-use, adaptable space that had to accommodate a variety of functions such as town hall, cinema, school, church hall, events venue, dancehall and theatre. 2. An analysis of the existing historical built fabric of Marabastad (which reveals a complex layering of thresholds). 3. Programmatic requirements: Multi-form theatre with shebeen, informal restaurant, recording studio and artist accommodation. 4. Amalgamation of performance space with public space within a historical meaning framework. 5.
