Entre o "Zaca” e o "Madre”: ofensas raciais, processos identitários e discursos de mestiçagem em duas escolas de Belém

Esta dissertação consiste em uma etnografia do cotidiano escolar, orientada conceitualmente a partir dos marcadores de diferenciação cor/raça, gênero e classe social. A motivação da pesquisa que iniciou a produção deste trabalho partiu da seguinte indagação: processos ofensivos verbais são processos identitários que se constroem a partir de referencias pedagógicos e de discursos docentes em cada escola? Com base em uma trajetória de pesquisa iniciada em 2006, realizada inicialmente na Escola Alexandre Zacharias de Assumpção e posteriormente estendida ao Colégio Madre Zarife Sales, no bairro do Guamá, periferia de Belém do Pará, tento discutir o alcance destas instituições no cotidiano educacional vivido fora delas por seus discentes, ao identificar práticas dinâmicas de viver os espaços urbanos da cidade a partir do ir e voltar da escola. As duas escolas são definidas como escolas de referência no bairro, pois simbolizam, para as clientelas de estudantes por elas atendidas, a possibilidade de sucesso profissional pós-escola entre muitas famílias no bairro. Por outro lado, tento mostrar as contradições internas nas duas escolas para sugerir a ocorrência de acessos diferenciados aos serviços educacionais e ao próprio capital cultural docente conforme o turno em que se estuda. Discuto destacadamente a ocorrência de trocas de ofensas verbais raciais e não-raciais entre os estudantes conforme os marcadores de diferenciação assinalados, para tentar responder a problematização da pesquisa. Depois tento identificar as várias modalidades simbólicas do discurso de mestiçagem como um discurso abrangente que é por mim concebido como a face inversa das ofensas verbais raciais e do não-reconhecimento do racismo nelas existentes pelo corpo institucional, isto é, por docentes, funcionários e gestores.

As políticas educacionais do Brasil: a (in)visibilidade da sexualidade e das relações de gênero

The present study, theoretical, aims to talk about educational policies in Brazil, aiming to unveil what they say these policies, the legitimacy and visibility that give coverage of sexuality in schools. Both sexuality and gender relations have gained attention in a Brazilian educational research in the mid-90th century. These policies have been the National Curricular Parameters (PCN). They present the cross-cutting themes: ethics, health, environment, cultural diversity and sexual orientation, which should be integrated into conventional areas of the school said. Another document of this same decade of education is the National Education Plan (PNE), however this encompasses so hidden sexuality and gender relations. In fact, both the new Law of Directives and Bases (LDB), the PNE in these subjects are veiled. An interesting initiative is happening in Brazil is the project Gender and Sexual Diversity (GDE) for the training of professionals in education issues of gender, sexuality and sexual orientation and ethnic-racial relations, is entering the national perspective of implementation public policy of equality and respect for diversity. However, much remains to be done thinking about the effectiveness of public policies that are effective with respect to space and visibility for the treatment of sexuality. We must also articulate the integration of these themes in these policies, strategies to raise awareness of education professionals in order to secure that they are actually implemented.

Avaliação do desenvolvimento afetivo-social do adolescente na faixa etária dos 15 aos 18 anos. Estudo com adolescentes do município de Botucatu, SP - Aspectos da sexualidade

The authors present data obtained from the analysis of a questionnaire regarding sexuality among 1,437 adolescent students in the Botucatu municipal district. The student's age varied from 15 to 19 years. The results demonstrate the evolving characteristics of the student's sexuality and suggest that sexual orientation and guidance should be part of the child and adolescent educational process. The authors pointed out that the members of Health care team should stimulate the discussion of sexuality while providing medical advice.

Multiculturalismo, diversidade cultural e cotidiano escolar: uma análise da temática em filmes de escola

This work has as its theme the multiculturalism, cultural diversity and their reflections in school everyday, more specifically on the interactions between the various subjects and social groups that make up a school and the teacher as mediator of the relationship between these guys. The theme Multiculturalism refers in the first instance, to the theoretical movement beginning in the mid-20th century in the United States and that spreads in the Western world as a way of tackling the conflicts generated depending on the economic issues, policies, and, in particular, cultural-ethnic, in an attempt to combat discrimination and prejudice, given the difficulties of individuals and groups to welcome and socialize with the plurality and cultural differences (SILVA; BRANDIM, 2008).At the same time, multiculturalism refers to cultural studies, through the Centre for Contemporary cultural studies, founded by em1964 Hoggart, and connected to the English language Department of the University of Birmingham in England.In contemporary times, due to the phenomenon of globalization and public policy to challenge prejudice and discrimination the subjects and social groups, regardless of color, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation and nationality, this theme has been recurring in order to recognize plural identities and ensure and directly affects the school as a place of cultural diversity and conflicts generated by the very diversity.The present work aims to analyze and understand how the issue of multiculturalism and cultural diversity in school films. Our study will be based theoretically in Cultural Studies authors and uses the qualitative approach, working with movie content analysis of school, seeking to seize on the same relations of coexistence, conflicts and the mediations of teachers

Service Utilization Patterns of Homeless Youth

Few studies exist on the types of characteristics associated with service utilization (e.g., shelters, food programs) among homeless youth in the U.S. Services are important, however, because without food and shelter, numerous homeless youth resort to trading sex in order to meet their daily survival needs. Access to physical and mental health services gives homeless youth more of an opportunity to integrate into mainstream society than they would otherwise have. To address this gap in our understanding, my study examines what traits (e.g. age, race, abuse history) correlate with the use of shelters, food programs, street outreach, counseling, STD/STI testing, and HIV testing among homeless youth. The Theory of Reasoned Action is used as an ideological framework in conjunction with theoretical constructs of risk, need, and prior service exposure. Data were obtained from the Social Network and Homeless Youth Project (SNHYP), a sample of 249 Midwestern homeless youth ages 14 to 21, which used trained interviewers to conduct structured interviews with youth. Respondents were interviewed in both shelters and on the street over a period of approximately one year. My findings revealed that homeless youth’s service usage varied across gender, sexual orientation, age, having recently held a job, and having ever been physically or sexually abused, in addition to other characteristics. Conversely, service use was not associated with social network size or subjective norms (i.e. attitudes of peers, such as acceptance of condom use) of youths’ social networks. By examining these areas, my study builds on previous research on homeless youth and lays the framework for future research on service utilization by homeless youth.

Patterns of Ecstasy Use and Associated Harm: Results of a Brazilian Online Survey

The aim of this study was to gather information about ecstasy users in Brazil, particularly on issues related to risks associated to the use of the drug, so as to offer a basis to prevention projects. A total of 1,140 Brazilian ecstasy users answered an online questionnaire from August 2004 to February 2005. Participants were predominantly young single heterosexual well-educated males from upper economical classes. A categorical regression with optimal scaling (CATREG) was performed to identify the risks associated with ecstasy use. ""Pills taken in life"" had a significant correlation with every investigated risk, particularly ecstasy dependence, unsafe sex, and polydrug use. ""Gender,"" ""sexual orientation,"" and ""socioeconomic class"" were not predictive of risk behavior. The Internet proved to be a useful tool for data collection. Given the recent increase in ecstasy availability in Brazil, a first prevention campaign directed toward the drug is urgent. At least in a preliminary Brazilian intervention, the campaign must be conducted at night leisure places, mainly frequented by youngsters from upper socioeconomic classes. The results do not call for information material with specific targets, such as gender or sexual orientation. The study`s limitations have been noted.

Il principio di non discriminazione e l'identita' costituzionale dell'Unione Europea

La definizione dell’ordinamento dell’Unione come ordinamento costituzionale è centrale, ma resta frammentata. Per restituirle sistematicità è importante individuare un principio sul quale poggiarne il consolidamento. Per questo si è scelto di esaminare il principio di non discriminazione attraverso l’analisi della giurisprudenza, con l’obiettivo di verificare se questo principio è parte fondamentale dell’identità costituzionale dell’Unione Europea. Nella prima parte della tesi si analizza la struttura del giudizio sulla discriminazione davanti alla CGUE e davanti alla CEDU, mettendo in evidenza come la struttura ricordi sempre di più quella del giudizio di costituzionalità. Nella seconda parte ci si concentra sul contributo dato dal principio di non discriminazione all’identità costituzionale dell’Unione Europea attraverso la lotta contro specifiche tipologie di discriminazione. Poiché i motivi di discriminazione sono molto numerosi, si è stabilito di esaminare quei motivi che sono regolati dal diritto derivato. Per questo la seconda parte dell’analisi si è concentrata sulle discriminazioni a motivo della nazionalità (dir. 2004/38/CE), della razza (dir. 2000/43/CE), del genere (dir. 2006/54/CE, dir. 2004/113/CE) dell’età, disabilità, religione ed orientamento sessuale (dir. 2000/78/CE). Dall’analisi della giurisprudenza e del diritto derivato che ne dà attuazione è possibile comprendere che questo principio, oltre ad essere sostenuto da un vero e proprio giudizio di legittimità costituzionale (il rinvio pregiudiziale), ha gli strumenti necessari a permetterne lo sviluppo tenendo conto delle identità costituzionali degli stati membri e può aiutare ad offrire delle risposte rispetto a uno dei problemi fondamentali inerenti all’efficacia del diritto dell’Unione Europea: la tensione fra il principio di attribuzione e la dottrina degli effetti diretti. Le conclusioni di questo lavoro portano a sostenere che è possibile individuare una giurisprudenza della Corte che, attraverso alcuni passaggi fondamentali (le sentenze Mangold, Kucukdeveci, Hay, Deckmyn e Zambrano), definisce il principio di non discriminazione come principio fondamentale, e costituzionale, del diritto dell’Unione Europea.

Relationship Repair After Infidelity: Looking at Other Perspectives

Prior research examining relationship repair after infidelity scenarios tends to focus primarily on heterosexual relationships, and often does not take into consideration the nuance between emotional and sexual infidelity, which, according to evolutionary psychology theories, tends to be salient to individuals based on their reproductive challenges. This research intended to rectify that dearth, hypothesizing that non-heterosexual participants would be more likely to repair a relationship where a partner has committed sexual infidelity than they would be to repair a relationship where a partner has committed an emotional infidelity. As well, based on prior research, there were expectations for sex differences in the likelihood of repairing a relationship after infidelity by a partner for participants in committed relationships, with female participants likely to repair emotional infidelity and male participants likely to repair sexual infidelity. In a survey of volunteers online, likelihood of repair for relationships after sexual or emotional infidelity was related to the sexual orientation of participants. Homosexual/other individuals were equally likely to repair their relationship after an emotional or sexual infidelity was committed by a partner and were more likely to repair a relationship after a partner committed a sexual infidelity than heterosexual individuals were. A qualitative question component obtained more information about the participants¿ logic behind their reconciliation choices, and these results along with the quantitative results are discussed and interpreted using themes from earlier research.

Restructuring Justice: Moving Towards Gender-Responsive Programming and Alternatives to Incarceration for Non-Violent Female Offenders

The United States¿ Federal and State laws differentiate between acceptable (or, legal) and unacceptable (illegal) behavior by prescribing restrictive punishment to citizens and/or groups that violate these established rules. These regulations are written to treat every person equally and to fairly serve justice; furthermore, the sanctions placed on offenders seek to reform illegal behavior through limitations on freedoms and rehabilitative programs. Despite the effort to treat all offenders fairly regardless of social identity categories (e.g., sex, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, ability, and gender and sexual orientation) and to humanely eliminate illegal behavior, the American penal system perpetuates de facto discrimination against a multitude of peoples. Furthermore, soaring recidivism rates caused by unsuccessful re-entry of incarcerated offenders puts economic stress on Federal and State budgets. For these reasons, offenders, policy-makers, and law-abiding citizens should all have a vested interest in reforming the prison system. This thesis focuses on the failure of the United States corrections system to adequately address the gender-specific needs of non-violent female offenders. Several factors contribute to the gender-specific discrimination that women experience in the criminal justice system: 1) Trends in female criminality that skew women¿s crime towards drug-related crimes, prostitution, and property offenses; 2) Mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes that are disproportionate to the crime committed; 3) So-called ¿gender-neutral¿ educational, vocational, substance abuse, and mental health programming that intends to equally rehabilitate men and women, but in fact favors men; and 4) The isolating nature of prison structures that inhibits smooth re-entry into society. I argue that a shift in the placement and treatment of non-violent female offenders is necessary for effective rehabilitation and for reducing recidivism rates. The first component of this shift is the design and implementation of gender- responsive treatment (GRT) rather than gender-neutral approaches in rehabilitative programming. The second shift is the utilization of alternatives to incarceration, which provide both more humane treatment of offenders and smoother reintegration to society. Drawing on recent scholarship, information from prison advocacy organizations, and research with men in an alternative program, I provide a critical analysis of current policies and alternative programs, and suggest several proposals for future gender- responsive programs in prisons and in place of incarceration. I argue that the expansion of gender-responsive programming and alternatives to incarceration respond to the marginalization of female offenders, address concerns about the financial sustainability of the United States criminal justice system, and tackle high recidivism rates.

A test of genetic association among male nuptial coloration, female mating preference, and male aggression bias within a polymorphic population of cichlid fish

Both inter- and intrasexual selection have been implicated in the origin and maintenance of species-rich taxa with diverse sexual traits. Simultaneous disruptive selection by female mate choice and male-male competition can, in theory, lead to speciation without geographical isolation if both act on the same male trait. Female mate choice can generate discontinuities in gene flow, while male-male competition can generate negative frequency-dependent selection stabilizing the male trait polymorphism. Speciation may be facilitated when mating preference and/or aggression bias are physically linked to the trait they operate on. We tested for genetic associations among female mating preference, male aggression bias and male coloration in the Lake Victoria cichlid Pundamilia. We crossed females from a phenotypically variable population with males from both extreme ends of the phenotype distribution in the same population (blue or red). Male offspring of a red sire were significantly redder than males of a blue sire, indicating that intra-population variation in male coloration is heritable. We tested mating preferences of female offspring and aggression biases of male offspring using binary choice tests. There was no evidence for associations at the family level between female mating preferences and coloration of sires, but dam identity had a significant effect on female mate preference. Sons of the red sire directed significantly more aggression to red than blue males, whereas sons of the blue sire did not show any bias. There was a positive correlation among individuals between male aggression bias and body coloration, possibly due to pleiotropy or physical linkage, which could facilitate the maintenance of color polymorphism.

Teste anti-HIV entre homens que fazem sexo com homens em São Paulo: busca espontânea rotineira e episódica

Introdução No contexto da valorização crescente do teste anti-HIV como estratégia de prevenção programática, a promoção do teste anti-HIV como estratégia de prevenção entre homens que fazem sexo com homens (HSH) é fundamental. Objetivo - Analisar os fatores associados tanto ao uso rotineiro como episódico do teste anti-HIV. Métodos - Os participantes foram 946 HSH entrevistados pelo Projeto SampaCentro em locais de sociabilidade HSH da região central de São Paulo entre novembro de 2011 e janeiro de 2012, nunca testados ou que procuraram o teste espontaneamente. A metodologia de amostragem foi a time-space-sampling e foram utilizados protocolos do Stata 12.0 para análise de amostras complexas. Os homens que se testaram por rotina ou episodicamente foram comparados aos nunca testados. As variáveis analisadas nos dois modelos de regressão de Poisson foram divididas em três níveis: características sociodemográficas (primeiro nível); socialização na comunidade gay e exposição da orientação sexual, discriminação e opiniões e atitudes em relação ao HIV/Aids e ao teste (segundo nível); percepção de risco, estratégias de prevenção e práticas e parcerias sexuais (terceiro nível). Resultados Os homens que se testaram rotineiramente eram mais velhos e moradores no Centro de SP. Além disso, tinham exposto a orientação sexual para profissional de saúde, sido discriminados em serviços de saúde mas não por amigos e/ou vizinhos (em razão da sexualidade) e não mencionaram medo do resultado do teste como motivo para HSH não se testarem. Também tinham maior probabilidade de conhecer pessoa soropositiva e de ter parcerias estáveis sem sexo anal desprotegido nas casuais (comparado a ter apenas parcerias casuais protegidas). Os homens que se testaram episodicamente eram mais velhos, residentes do Centro de SP, não moravam com parentes, expuseram sua orientação sexual para profissional de saúde, não reportaram medo do resultado do teste como barreira, conheciam pessoa soropositiva e mencionaram parceria estável sem sexo desprotegido com parceiro casual ou então sexo desprotegido em parcerias casuais (comparado a ter apenas parcerias casuais protegidas). Conclusões Os mais jovens, os que moram fora do centro de São Paulo, e os que expões menos sua orientação sexual são os segmentos que menos se testam rotineira ou episodicamente. Assim, dependem de ações para que seu direito seja protegido e assegurado. A estigmatização e a discriminação da homossexualidade deve ser combatida para que não impeça o acesso ao teste e a outros serviços de saúde. Disseminar informações e socializar os mais jovens para o diálogo sobre as estratégias de prevenção biomédicas e estratégias comunitárias de prevenção é necessário. Para ampliar o acesso e qualidade da testagem como recurso fundamental de programas de prevenção permanece o desafio de sustentar o debate sobre sexualidade e prevenção a cada geração, assim como nos programas de formação de educadores e de profissionais de saúde de todas as áreas.
