Full textThis work aimed to study the meaning of the experience of crack/cocaine users in contemporary political/social context. We had planned our research in direction of the followed specific objectives: create an understanding of the meanings produced by crack/cocaine users on his/her experiences with this substance; analyze the political/social context in which their crack/cocaine experiences occurs; and propose perspectives of attention to the crack/cocaine user considering the meaning and the social/political context. The methodology was qualitative from the existential phenomenological perspective. At first, we made a documentary analysis of the newspaper texts produced in years 2012/2013. We analyzed the design of use, dependence, sense/meaning, beyond those involved in the political/social use of crack/cocaine aspects. Second, applying the narrative of Walter Benjamin and utilizing a prompt ask, we interviewed six crack/cocaine users who spoke freely about their experience with the substance. The subjects were selected from the private practices of physicians and/or psychologists, as well as harm reduction agents. Choose of the sample was therefore intentional, and not directed to generalizations of the experiences. Professionals collaborate in the selection observing the distinct modes of use: casual, recreational and dependence, this last that could be mild, moderate and severe. We considered that each of these modes implies the social integration of the user and therefore could emerge political issues. The researcher took as posture a constant dialogue with the texts and study subjects, to this, addressing the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer. Data analysis were performed based on the work of Arendt in his political/social aspect.

Full textThe dissertation concludes that the celebrity, along with other forms of public personalities that emerge in the public sphere, is an attempt to contain or embody a certain type of power that is difficult to sustain because of its connection to mass sentiment and supposed forms of irrationality. The celebrity then is the continual attempt to embody this affective power in contemporary political and popular culture.

Full textCette problématique est développée en trois temps. Dans un premier temps, nous effectuons une synthèse des constructions du public dans la recherche sur les médias classiques. Les multiples « publics » repérés dans la littérature scientifique en information et communication (infocom) sont organisés à deux niveaux. D’une part, nous distinguons les constructions du public comme « acteur collectif » et comme « acteur assistant ». D’autre part, à un niveau plus fin d’analyse, les concepts de public comme « groupe » et comme « collectivité » permettent de distinguer deux types de public comme « acteur collectif » tandis que les concepts de public comme « récepteur » et comme « coproducteur » renvoient à deux catégories différentes de public comme « acteur assistant ».
Dans un deuxième temps, nous examinons plusieurs ajustements des constructions du public apportés (ou à apporter) par la recherche en infocom à propos d’internet. En ce qui concerne la construction du public comme « groupe », celle-ci recouvre désormais une grande variété de groupes dont les processus de communication interne deviennent un objet d’étude à part entière. De plus, la construction comme « public exposé » (une catégorie de public comme « récepteur ») s’articule à la problématique de l’accès aux informations. Enfin, la construction du public comme « coproducteur » voit son champ d’application considérablement élargi.
Dans un troisième et dernier temps, nous réalisons une méta-analyse de la construction du public d’internet. Le corpus est composé de 186 articles issus de six revues scientifiques en infocom. Les variables examinées sont :l’origine culturelle des auteurs, l’orientation éditoriale des revues, les thématiques de recherche, les constructions du public, les constructions d’internet et les méthodes de recherche. Les résultats révèlent notamment que les ajustements nécessaires des constructions du public sont peu représentés dans le corpus. Si la construction comme « groupe » est plus fréquente que la construction comme « collectivité », la première est toutefois concentrée dans deux revues et semble peu diversifiée. De plus, le public comme « coproducteur » est rarement étudié alors qu’internet facilite la participation à la production des messages et favorise l’appropriation des contenus.
Par ailleurs, la construction du public d’internet est culturellement marquée :les chercheurs européens le construisent plutôt comme « acteur collectif » tandis que les chercheurs américains privilégient la construction comme « acteur assistant ». De plus, les constructions du public ne sont pas associées aux mêmes constructions d’internet :le public comme « acteur collectif » est associé à une construction d’internet comme « medium » tandis que le public comme « acteur assistant » est associé à une construction d’internet comme « support », « média » ou « contenu ». Enfin, les constructions du public d’internet donnent lieu à des méthodes de recherche distinctes, le public comme « acteur collectif » étant articulé aux méthodes qualitatives et le public comme « acteur assistant » aux méthodes quantitatives. /
This doctoral thesis aims to contribute to the revival of the information and communication sciences (ICS) whose theoretical and methodological tools are being called into question by the emergence of information and communication technologies. This study focuses on the construction of the “audience” in the age of internet and develops this issue through three chapters.
The first chapter synthesizes the constructions of the audience in the research on traditional media. The numerous “audiences” identified in scientific literature from ICS are organized at two levels. On the one hand, we distinguish the audience as “collective actor” from the audience as “attending actor”. On the other hand, and more precisely, the “group” and the “collectivity” are considered two different kinds of audience as “collective actor” while the construction of the audience as “attending actor” is broken up into two constructions: the “receiver” and the “co-producer”.
The second chapter discusses (some of) the alterations to the constructions of the audience that ICS have made (or should make) because of the properties of the internet. With regard to the audience as “group”, it covers henceforth a wide range of groups whose internal communication processes become an object of study. Moreover, the construction of the audience as “exposed audience” (a category of audience as “receiver”) is linked up with the issue of information access and the construction of audience as “co-producer” sees its sphere of validity considerably enlarged.
The third and last chapter develops a meta-analysis of the construction of the internet audience. The corpus is composed of 186 articles published in six scientific journals from ICS. The variables examined are: the cultural origin of the authors, the editorial influence of the journals, the research subjects, the constructions of the audience, the constructions of internet and the research methods. Among other results, it appears that the “new” constructions of the audience are not much studied in the corpus. The construction as “group” is more frequently encountered than the construction as “collectivity” but is restricted to two journals and is little diversified. Moreover, the audience as “co-producer” is rarely constructed whereas internet facilitates the participation in message production and the appropriation of contents. Furthermore, the construction of the internet audience is a culturally defined process: European researchers rather construct the internet audience as “collective actor” while American researchers tend towards a construction of the internet audience as “attending actor”. Those constructions are associated with different constructions of internet: the audience as “collective actor” is linked up with the construction of internet as “medium” while the audience as “attending actor” is associated with the constructions of internet as “device”, “channel” or “content”. Finally, the constructions of the internet audience are methodologically different: the audience as “collective actor” is studied through qualitative methods while the audience as “attending actor” tends towards quantitative methods.

Bataille, Philippe. "Attitudes féministes face à la procréation médicalement assistée." Paris, EHESS, 1993. http://www.theses.fr/1993EHES0023.
Full textWhen asked to give its opinion on medically assisted procreation, french feminism proves to be unable to act collectively upon society's new stakes. Radical trends are unable to renew the debate on emancipation. Indeed it is a less militant and dogmatic feminism that contributes to the emergence of a new feminist approach the issue is no longer fo free women but rather to consider wat is at stake in procreation in terms of ethics. The debate on the medical and technical processes used in medically assisted procreation reflects the huge advances made in the field. One of the priority issues is the cultural challenge of defining the rules and values which shape relational ethics between men and women. The "right of the indivudual", the concern about the social and affective conditions surrounding birth, the freedom of the bodies and the individuals are amongst the themes which show the reality of feminism in a renewed debate, announcing the emergence of new cultural stakes and new ethical definitions of the subject
Bonvel, Jean-Christophe. "L'attitude face aux nouvelles technologies : psychologie sociale de la techno-attitude." Bordeaux 2, 2002. http://www.theses.fr/2002BOR20952.
Full textThe aim of this present research is to explain the variations in attitudes facing the ICT (Information and communication technology). First, the variations of this techno-attitude are presented and analysed through a general survey of researches about the attitudes and the representations facing computers of some populations (men vs. Women ; literature stream vs. Science stream). A pattern of analysis of the variations towards the ICT is proposed : the Man implicit theory concept (MIT), the learned helplessness (LH) and the reference point (RP) in the comparison process (CP). A string of experimentations is proposed in order to test the relevance of this pattern of analysis. The general hypothesis that includes those experimentations, holds that the negative attitude facing the ICT (technophobia) is due to some social contexts : the individuals are exposed to some flimsy information, and it can generate resorting to some heurisms, to express an opinion, as far as the ICT are concerned. This hypothesis is partly confirmed by our results. The techno-attitude (TA) is actually based on a comparison process, man/machine, where the MIT intervenes in the case of the negative attitude. In addition, this MIT behaves as an heurism, where the subjects who are in a state of cognitive exhaustion can express an opinion with a certain validity. If the principal aim of this research is the elucidation of technophobia, connecting social integration's with cognitive processes, the point of view developed and the coherence which is introduced between the different studies and the previous disparate observations, allow a reconsideration of the positive attitude, the technophilia, and the rational data processing

The team is profoundly divided in terms of sexes, age, professional habits, the clauses of the public distribution: conditions which do not facilitate the necessary assistance for a public habing relation troubles. One word could sum-up this help: «eye-contacts". Deep dimension of privacy. The author studies it, thanks to several meetings of the team. This preparation will confirm all the observed breakings. The author concludes on a triple parador of the situation: the unmarried mothers look torwards their child family and towards their adult family. The institution gives up choosing between moterly assitance and the assent to adoption. And the sociaworker hesitates about the help he can bring all the more as he already hesitates on bout his own existence

Full textEven if, at the beginning, the great tourist projects, which the natives of guadeloupe didn't launch on their own initiative, raised indifference and scepticism, the inhabitants have progressively realized the positive consequences of this new activity, the advantages it presented as well as the financial benefits which could be induced by it. Then, they summoned up all their energy and organized themselves as, according to them, tourism must first of all be the guadelupian natives' business. Tourism has become part of the leisure civilization of the inhabitants, bringing about changes in their ways of life and spare-time activities. However, in spite of the evolution which can be noticed, the way they take part in tourism, as far as the economic and leisure practices are concerned, still differ according to the social groups

Full textApart from political propaganda, the Tunisian theatrical practices, artistic field and cultural sphere are deceptive and source of inborn lingering "living" difficulties which affect the sector in all its aspects: producers, production facilities, administrative supervision, critics and audience, financing, creativity, accomplishment and scientific research and training. It'd be difficult to understand and critically decipher the scene without taking into account the formation of the country's social strata, having been subject to foreign hegemony affecting the most sensitive areas: economy, politics, defence and knowledge. A society characterized by deep mutations in total contradiction with ultra conservative trends that are in opposition to progress and rohich have resulted in steady imbalances, unerupted tensions and sickly neglect, withdrawal of a present to be confronted and held under control for the sake of a vaguely reshaped reornamented past and for a hypothetical risky future in hypothesis. Let's finally bear in mind that such a deception called disenchantment, has eloquently been transmitted for us, among others of its expressions, by modem western literature then by Latin American one. We, artists and researchers, partake of a more and more universal movement with the hope to open a more watchful eye on rohat we are enduring in this apocalyptic world

Full textIn France, few studies were interested by care social workers in the accompaniment of old age and less still, in that concerning the alcohol misuse at this age. In this thesis, we study the psychological aspects of these professional all while comparing them with those to support the Alzheimer's disease. 99 social care workers answered a questionnaire of 62 professional data, a scale of self esteem (EES), a questionnaire of job satisfaction (ESVP), an inventory of burnout (MBI) and a scale of anxio-depressive symptomatology (HADS). The professionals were divided into two groups: those with the difficulties in the support of the disease of Alzheimer (n=63) and those with the difficulties with alcohol misuse (n=36). Moreover, 18 of whom were interviewed. In the support of alcohol misuse, significant results show that when they know the diagnosis of pathology, emotional exhaustion is higher and this one is correlated positively with depressive mood and negatively with the job satisfaction. The personal achievement is correlated negatively with depressive mood. The job satisfaction is correlated positively with relatives' relations. In the support of Alzheimer's disease, when they don't know the diagnosis of the pathology, emotional exhaustion is higher and this one is correlated negatively with the job satisfaction and positively with anxio-depressive symptomatology. For the alcohol misuse, the interview of difficulties with the elder is related to similarity with those showing the representations and progression of the disease, the family's relations and the feeling of ineffectiveness for supporting the pathology. The discussion of satisfactions is related to similarity with those evoking the professional experience, the representations and skills to speak with the person about the disease. For Alzheimer's disease, the discussion of difficulties with the elder is related to similarity with those evoking the representations and the progression of the disease ¿ and that ¿ with the identifications of the senior. The discussion of satisfactions is related to similarity with those talking the professional experience and the evocation of the personal reasons to work. This study allows considering the specificities of French social care workers. It opens some research perspectives and could have a clinical implication in prevention of this population

Full textNowadays, the evolution of different means of communication seams to accelerate because of the development of new technologies which are changing the uses of media. The topical debate in the field of communication, that concerns the changes of using, may be due to the technological innovation. The main discussion arises different theories. Most of them are based on a specific view of the relations between the users and the media. In my point of view, it is necessary, for those searchers, to relativize the media impact and the changes in the behaviour of the users. It is also important to enhance the simultaneous action of the audience and the environment. Moreover, the complementarity between the mass media and the specific media must be taken into account. According to this point of view, i noticed, especally in the television field, that different factors tend to influence people to accept those new technologies. The comparative method, between the technological uses of the cable and the satellite in france and quebec, enhance cultural features. However, it reveals other unexpected events. Indeed, the subscribers to the cable or the satellite still use the traditional media but they complete it with specific technologies. Finaly, this research clearly shows that some sociodemographic factors, especally sex and age, have a significant influence on means of communication

Full textThe thesis considers the theory of communicative action of J. Habermas from the standpoint of technical decision-making. This theory permits a critical analysis of the "social determinism of technology" inherited from H. Marcuse; nevertheless, it assumes that the price of the conditional legitimacy of technology is its assignment to a realm of social interaction where understanding through language is useless. Habermas' "linkage of the action's and system's perspectives" suggests a strategical analysis of industrial organizations, where agents and researchers maintain an "objectifying" attitude. However, this double objectivism is strongly disavowed today by industrial sociologists. Our own research focuses on the robotization of the French, German and Brazilian automobile industries. In all these countries the introduction of microelectronic tools gives rise to an increase in the importance of micro decisions; however, this universal tendency towards participation, which depends on communicative instruments, takes on very different forms according to the social cultural aspects of the country. This diversity in decision-making processes can be explained as the result of different "technical cultures". The ensuing conception leads to a revision of Habermas' interpretation of modernity

Full textThe Quebrada Seca River opens a desolate breach in the Great Metropolitan Area (GAM) of San José, Costa Rica’s capital. This small river, corseted between buildings, shows its grey rocks and brown dirt to neighbouring houses’ windowless walls. Clues of abandonment are everywhere. Yet, several collectives gathering inhabitants, technicians and scientists, take action in order to reduce environmental risks linked to Quebrada Seca (flooding, erosion, pollution). In formulating the tangible problems they are affected by in terms of environmental risks (Mormont, 2009), these collectives strongly criticize the urban socio-political organization. They question the accuracy of administrative territories and of communal identities. They propose specific types of territorial organization, and original collective commitment forms. Our thesis is that dealing with environmental risks allow these city dwellers to create a particular kind of urbanity (Capron and Monnet, 2000), a way of living together, that go beyond urban planning’s strict projections

On the basis of two field studies, in Villa El Salvador, one of the largest slums in Lima, Peru, and in Borny, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in the Lorraine region of France, this research focuses on the processes leading to disadvantaged urban areas and on the decisive role of socioeconomic and political structures and relations in situations of poverty and social exclusion faced by the inhabitants.

Full textFor more than thirty years, the massa population of northern cameroon has been benefiting by development plans to expand the rice growing, such as the one of the semry. The confrontation of two "civilizations", the first one, giving a greater place to technique and production, the second one based on tradition, divided into segements, led to the following deadlock: overproduction and strained social tensions together with a non mastered change in the traditional culture. Then, the reconciliation of these two ways of reasoning: the hydrofarming expert's and the massa farmer appeared to be essential. That is the reason why, from 1983 to 1986, the ccce (an economic cooperation fund) backed and carried out an experimentation on one of the semry's rice growing units. The four keys factors were: redistribution of land according to the customary settlements and lineages; making the farmers aware of their responsabilities towards the paddy growing and gathering; teaching them how to read and write as well as giving them a management training; inducing them to think about the community use of the income. The development of the farming structures takes little by little the place of the technical solutions of the semry

Full textThis work concerns a study of the community formed by extreme metal fans and the ontology of their identity as a fan. In a context of music globalization, various amateurs succeed in maintaining a coherence in their attachement to this stylistic trend coherent across two dimensions. First dimension, ideology and aesthetics developed by metalheads - the shared belief in the genealogy of metal. The narration of a certain metal history was gradually institutionalized by legitimate discourses and became a prescriptive model for musical practice : it can distinguish what is "metal" from what is not. Analysis of ambiguities about metal sub-genres classification shows that the referential bands and their music are not faithful representations of reality but ideal types. These become the corpus of the imagined genealogy. Second dimension, the materialistic aspects of their commitment : the objects, techniques, technologies, know-how that contribute to the existence of a solidarity network. Extreme metal was born thanks to the cooperation of dedicated metalheads whose actions fall outside the commercial system of the recording industry and mass media. This network is then performed by metalheads according to their respective cultural and socio-economic conditions. However, certain members and organizations are seeking more recognition. The solidarity spirit emphasized by extreme metal pioneers today is nothing but a utopia

Full textHistorically, science museums and science centers have emerged as scientific and cultural institutions that detain scholarly knowledge, which confers them a certain authority. Currently, however, socio-scientific issues and new kinds of relationships between science and society put to challenge the modes of communication of these institutions. Then, how do these institutions deal with such issues? Do their staff members take a stand on these issues? In order to address these questions, this thesis examines the example of climate change. Two theoretical frameworks are mobilized: science communication approaches inspired by STS (Science and Technology Studies) which question the deficit model and the theory of arenas to study public problems. Four science museums and science centers are studied: Science Animation in Toulouse, Cap Science in Bordeaux, La Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie in Paris and the Science Museum in London. At least in France until 2009, climate change has been has been built on a consensus in the scientific, political and media arenas. Indeed, different actors converge around the same definition of the problem. The science museums and centers studied adopt a similar definition: scientific consensus as found in the conclusions of the IPCC, depolitisation of the problem, warning and call for action but no strong focus on the individual dimensions of the issue. The thesis identifies four models of communication: a mode of rupture, an informative mode, a reflexive and critical mode, and a solving. The professionals met during the study all take different positions. Nevertheless, most of them find it important to represent validated knowledge in an impartial way and refuse interventionist approaches. However, some elements of the displays studied revealed such an approach. A discourse concerned with alerts and calls for action was also at play. This contradiction might be a sign of the weight of the dominant definition of the problem of climate change, instituted as a cause without opponent. More generally, it could be explained by the importance of sustainable development as a new social and political norm

Full textThe author analyses, from a sociological point of view, how institutional actors react to technical and industrial hazards, taking examples in developped countries, and especially in France and the United States. He reviews the existing litterature about the experts facing risks, (scientists, safety engineers, economists), the industrial and business behaviour insafety issues, political and administrative attitudes, environmental movements and trade unions dealing with both occupational and environmental risks. The author undertakes the similarities between various institutions: there is a general "cultural bias" which can be characterized as a strong tendency to "euphemize" dangers coming from one's own activity, and, reversedly, to "emphasize" hazards to be attributed to other instances. More generally, social actors tend to perceive risk only within the limits of a "dramatic" construction of reality in which dangers which are not symbolised are simply "non existing". The author tries to sustain this statement by exploring the relationships emerging between the individual and the institution, when they are confronting industrial hazards. The main empirical results (including interviews in American and French situations - in chemical plants) lead the author to the conclusion that reciprocal "implication" (Individual vs. Institution) explains the cultural bias in risk perception. According to this, as far as they tend to become "closed worlds", institutions may develop risk perception systems which are more and more severed from reality. On the contrary, individuals, who deal with different social worlds at the same time, may be "risk reducing factors"

Full textDuring a learning process, and especially in foreign languages, it will be difficult for students to avoid mistakes when trying to express themselves. Indeed, if they want to gain a certain ability, sudents will have to face a risk : express something uncorrect or not fully satisfactory. So, in the process, a “gain” could mean a “loss”. A large number of vietnamese students learning french as a foreign language fear “to loose face” in public, particularly when potential mistakes are related to linguistics and sociolinguistics aspects. “How to talk without making too many mistakes”, they think. This special problem often leads students to build strategies to avoid “loosing face” as a priority. To achieve this goal, they tend to minimise, as much as they can, risks of mistake through communication or speeches. Our research focuses on those strategies and their consequences. We review first theories and previous studies on this topic and we try, in conclusion, to link reality and didactics in the case of asian vietnamese students
Mao, Lei. "Three essays on risk attitudes and social image." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LYO22003/document.
Full textThis thesis consists of one essay on the relationship between risk attitudes and migration and two essays investigating the importance of saving face and reciprocity in terms of social image.The first essay is based on a field experiment conducted in China to study whether the migration status is correlated with one's preferences regarding risk, ambiguity, and competitiveness. It shows that migrants and stayers exhibit no difference in their preferences over risk and ambiguity as elicited with standard lottery choices. In contrast, migrants are significantly more likely to enter competitive markets in the context of strategic uncertainty. The second essay studies whether individuals forego resources to avoid the public exposure of the worst performer in their group in a real-effort laboratory experiment. A majority of individuals are willing to pay to preserve both self- and others’ image. This finding is robust to a manipulation of group identity. While the threat of exposure encourages effort, public exposure and a feeling of shame crowd out future intrinsic motivation.The third essay investigates whether individuals reward kindness and punish selfishness in terms of image. It shows that people reward kindness and reciprocate to people who have saved their face or others’ face. However, selfish behavior in terms of image saving is not sanctioned

Full textThis work is centered on those organic consumers whose choice is irregular and partial. Their case allows us to look at the variability of contemporary food practices, in a context where concerns for food safety and uncertainty also due to the abundance of products and dietetical injunctions, make the choices more difficult. Avoiding to consider "a priori" the eater as worried, or even anxious, I describe when he gets worried, what happens then in the interaction with food, and how the problem is resolved. This pragmatic perspective complements a study of the arguments and the evolution of choices with time through food biographies and interviews. Unlike the 'purists' who delegate their choice to the organic label, the 'intermittents' resort both to partial delegation to the organic and to a principle of modulation open to other alternatives. In some specific systems of production and distribution, delegation gives way to implication, which modifies to some extent the relation between production and consumption, and creates local forms of political consumerism

This dissertation aims to analyze the political information produced and disseminated by the digital platform “Truco!”, which is Agência Pública’s fact-checking project developed for the 2014 election in order to identify and ascertain the political debate taking place. The methodology adopted is based on the network policy concept of the author Manuel Castells, and consists of an elaboration for primary data collection, defined from the interactions and linked to the initial proposal of this research. The results recognize qualitative investigative journalism work with political participation activities, and it’s possible to relate them to the idea that the internet has elements to contribute to citizen education

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: This research paper set out to discover whether a Christian Spiritual perspective (within a framework of a theology of affirmation and a psychological strengths perspective of fortigenesis) on basic threatening existential issues, such as HIV/AIDS Stigma, Homophobia, etc. can help MSM to reformulate the quest for meaning and be integrated in a holistic approach to spiritual healing in order to overcome the schism in HIV/AIDS: Friend or Foe? Setting the stage for exploring the world‟s worst global challenge within the health sector, and how it relates to the South African context for MSM. The research uncovered that MSM face the greatest challenge and burden of HIV/AIDS in many countries, however little research has focused on MSM and HIV/AIDS in South Africa. Literature links this to the fact that throughout Africa, the predominant view of same sex relationships as being un-African, sinful and an abomination. Pointing out that for MSM, the development of God-images usually occurs during the process of growth and maturation as an individual, where a multitude of experiences are based primarily through the filter of belonging to a minority, which are seen predominantly from society as being sinful. The possible multitude of traumatic and often fearful life experiences, including the potentially highly stressful and difficult process of informing their parents and families of their sexuality, may influence their emotional experience and ultimately their God-image. The God-image of parental love, acceptance and caring may be impacted on by fear of rejection and the lack of acceptance. The development of ambivalence may strongly impact on MSM God-images, resulting in conflicted experiences and understanding of God, where the God-image could become distant and judgmental (Hoffman, 2009:15-18). Something that is exacerbated by the stance of some belief systems promote the concept of “love the sinner, hate the sin”, which only results in MSM being ignored or having their partners/relationships rejected, thus isolating them within their own faith community. This impacts their spiritual/religious development and their participation in a non-affirming faith community can result in levels of increased internalized homonegativity (this is defined as negative attitudes to one‟s own homosexuality), causing poorer psychological health and lower self-regard. The dignity, identity and meaning of MSM are further impacted on by their minority existence within the context of South Africa, which places various traumatic stresses on MSM. These traumatic stresses are amplified by the constant negotiation of fear regarding the contracting of HIV/AIDS or even being diagnosed with the life threatening disease. Despite all these external and the resultant internal stressors, Graham and Kiguwa (2005) found that religion and spirituality is important to MSM-youth as it provides possible supportive structures and environments. Many of the MSM-youth believe in the Bible or ancestors (or even both), yet have chosen to adapt their beliefs by taking what was important for them from the Bible and ancestral belief systems. This they have done as the traditional view of religion and the Bible held by most people, where the scriptures are taken literally, is that homosexuality is a sin (Graham and Kiguwa, 2005:7-8). Within this research, the interviewees experienced all this; however the results also showed that all the participants found some beneficial aspects out of contracting HIV/AIDS, with various levels of meanings relating to a sense of growth for each interviewee, while 4 out of 5 indicated that spirituality played an important role in assisting them in improving their lives. It aided in helping them to develop a sense of connection to themselves and others, something that many felt was missing within their lives. They felt that if it hadn‟t been for HIV, they would not have increased their levels of spirituality. This is an important empirical finding with respect to the research question and hypothesis, which hypothesized that HIV/AIDS promoted changes within MSM that results in spiritual growth and the development of internal strengths that allow them to transcend above the stressor of HIV/AIDS. The idea that MSM experience spirituality as something helpful and essential, makes it important to note that comments in the empirical research indicated that they tended to believe that if a Higher Power is involved, that it is unconditionally loving, kind and friendly. This is an important description of a God image within Christian Spirituality, a possible God-image of a Partner for Life or Friend. Thus, for Christian Spirituality to play a role within the healing of MSM and to better enhance spirituality and lay a better spiritual foundation, and develop better internal strengths and existential states, it thus becomes important to explore how Christian Spirituality will be able to address these needs of MSM, within a theological framework of affirmation.

Full textO acidente vascular cerebral (A.V.C) é uma doença repentina e incapacitante. De acordo com a área afetada e a extensão da lesão, desencadeará várias seqüelas, sobretudo as de ordem motora, levando o indívíduo acometido à perda de sua independência e autonomia, trazendo prejuízo nas realizações das atividades de vida diária, lazer e trabalho, com repercussões importantes na qualidade de vida e na dinâmica das relações intra e extra familiares. O estudo em deslinde, é de natureza qualitativa e foi realizado com pacientes assistidos no ambulatório da Unidade de Terapia Ocupacional do Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, na cidade do Recife e objetivou identificar o impacto psicossocial que as seqüelas motoras decorrentes do AVC acarretaram no indivíduo em fase produtiva e suas repercussões na família. Participaram da pesquisa sete famílias, cujo genitor/a, compreendido na faixa etária de trinta e cinco à cinqüenta e quatro anos de idade, tenha sido acometido pela primeira vez pela patologia. A pesquisa também envolveu os cônjuges e filhos no total de vinte e sete participantes. Utilizamos para coleta de dados, uma entrevista semidirigida elaborada pela pesquisadora. A análise dos dados revelou sentimentos de perda, inferioridade, tristeza, raiva, medo, vingança, desejo de morte, decepção, e desamparo, os quais descrevem a vulnerabilidade que o indivíduo acometido e sua família agora vivenciam neste enfrentamento. Salientamos ainda, a importância família e dos vínculos estabelecidos no interior desta, no processo de acolhimento ao indivíduo enfermo, a qual poderá se unir, como também poderá se desestruturar. Neste estudo percebemos que as seqüelas motoras mobilizaram mudanças na dinâmica familiar, e que esta por sua vez se uniu no sentido de acolher o indivíduo acometido. Na dinâmica da relação conjugal, também identificamos ficar prejudicada em virtude do indivíduo acometido não ser percebido ocupando o mesmo lugar pelo companheiro/a, repercutindo também no relacionamento íntimo. Enfocamos, ainda a relação do indivíduo acometido com os filhos, onde pudemos constatar que referem perceber o genitor ocupando o mesmo lugar, embora alguns tenham passado a percebe-lo como filho

Full textSince financial inclusion has become an important socio-economic goal, public authorities were bound both in Western Europe and in the USA to tackle the issue related to the accessibility of customers to banking services. The purpose of this thesis is to compare policies implemented by authorities in France and in the US. The foundations of the major policy actions and institutional answers, both in France and US are discussed. Asymmetric information is analyzed first as a basis for public policies. Even if this theoretical approach has been able to assess the relevance and the influence of some of the public interventions, its explanatory power appears to be limited with respect to the banking exclusion process. A second approach seeks to explore the differences between the two countries under study by the mean of a discussion of the various conceptions regarding the role and the nature of money. Introducing the social role of money, through social “embeddeness” and different concepts of poverty, has improved our understanding of observable facts with respect to banking exclusion in France and in the USA. This analysis provided a coherent theoretical framework with a view to evaluating the relevance of the different kinds of public policy, broadly considered, i. E. Taking into account not only the legal institutions but also the interactions between other actors involved in the supply of banking services

Full textMessina 1908, The Aquila 2009, one hundred years have passed between these two earthquakes, an Italy has taken shape. This -so called - geographical expression, has become a Nation. The contours of internal borders have been blurred and the peninsula now seems unified. The History of Italy cannot, however, be divorced from a revengeful Geography, and from its expression, which is, to say the least, upsetting. Earthquakes are being added to a list of risks present on the transalpine territory: landslides, floods and forest fires are among the most important natural hazards. The young republic is not exempt from anthropic or man-made hazards (health, technological, energy, terrorist, related to transport or even land use planning) which sometimes amplify the consequences of natural events when they do not directly and primarily affect the environment. An earthquake, since this is what we will mainly be talking about, could be seen as nothing more than a calamitous geophysical phenomenon. Beyond the impact on people, property and the environment, these phenomena are what we call disasters. Thus, it is important to discern from the outset this key notion: the disaster has a real cathartic and revealing function. It may seem provocative to set under this gnoseological objective events where death and human suffering predominate. However, this is here our aim to study Italian society. The state of crisis into which a society is plunged when it is affected by a catastrophe will be for us more than a prism through which we want to observe it. It will also, and above all, be the revealing element of a reality that is too hidden by the superficial and promotional functioning of modern information channels
