Os Animais que Confessam: Contribuição para uma História de Longa Duração da Entrevista de História Oral
No full textTranslation of "'Confessing Animals': Toward a Longue Durée History of the Oral History Interview," The Oral History Review 41(1) (Spring 2014): 1–26.Os historiadores orais se concentram há muito tempo na entrevista como principal método de pesquisa e defendem antecedentes que remontam à antiguidade, porém, eles não têm estudado a história de longa duração da entrevista. Este artigo é uma exploração preliminar do modo como os historiadores orais podem começar a escrever uma história da entrevista que enfatize as semelhanças estruturais entre práticas tão distintas como as confissões religiosas e jurídicas, as anamneses médicas e a psicanálise, a Inquisição e os interrogatórios policiais, a entrevista jornalística e a história oral. Examina‐se a história da confissão na igreja, a difusão da psicanálise no século XIX, o surgimento de uma “sociedade da entrevista” após a Segunda Guerra Mundial e o fenômeno, do final do século XX, de uma cultura de massa da confissão. Com base em Michel Foucault, este artigo revela que as entrevistas face a face, com questões acerca da vida dos indivíduos, são uma tecnologia do self que constitui o “sujeito moderno”. As entrevistas pessoais, mais do que revelar algo sobre um “verdadeiro” eu interior ou uma experiência autêntica, ensinam tanto aos entrevistadores como aos entrevistados o modo “correto” de ser. Essa interpretação da entrevista põe em xeque a hipótese de que a entrevista de história oral é uma ferramenta de pesquisa neutra que pode ser empregada para revelar algo sobre o passado, empoderar indivíduos e compartilhar autoridade.https://revistas.udesc.br/index.php/tempo/article/view/217518030613201420
Women in the City
Get PDFPaper: ii, 16 pp., digital fileThat many women experience disadvantage in urban areas is, to some extent, due to misconceptions and false
assumptions regarding their needs on the part of the city planning profession. The author explores some of the
negative consequences of city planning as they affect women — economically disadvantaged women in particular.
Concentration is placed on the historical causes of, and possible solutions to, inequities in housing, transportation,
childcare and safety. Examples of Winnipeg are citedInstitute of Urban Studie

socio-economic trends on consumers and housing markets, discuss current thinking, identify
research gaps, and prioritze future research. The report outlines the recent and future aspects of
various trends, drawing on the major findings in Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and
United States where appropriate. A discussion of the regional and sub-market variations within
Canada of the various issues and trends is provided, and the report identifies research priorities in
Canada. The report also contains a full annotated bibliography of all sources consulted

Structural Design and Social Impacts in Winnipeg Central Park Neighbourhood
Get PDFPaper: 16 pp.; ill., digital file.Th is study analyzes the relationship between structural design and social behavior within an urban public
space, using Winnipeg Central Park as a case study. Th e fi ndings suggest that the structural dimensions
leading to geographical isolation, paired with a lack of upkeep of the area have a signifi cant eff ect upon social
behavior. Case studies of a decaying historical monument, a 1985 park addition and a large commercial
development further illustrate the point that structural design heavily infl uences social behavior.Institute of Urban Studie

Reacquiring a taste for Diversity: Changing food habits, their casual factors, and the value of dietary diversity in Jumla, Nepal
Get PDFUnderstanding local food systems including food habit changes and the factors contributing to these changes is critical to ensuring effective interventions of food security. While diversity of foods is widely recognized as an important aspect of sustainable diets and food security, the value people place on dietary diversity is rarely considered in local interventions. In the remote, high-hill district of Jumla in Nepal, diversity is particularly important for food security. Despite this, many people choose to eat the same meal of dalbhat twice a day, leaving to question the value they have for dietary diversity. This has implications for the interventions used by policymakers and practitioners to address issues of food insecurity. This study examines community-perceived food habit changes and the factors contributing to these changes in Jumla, in addition to the value people place on dietary diversity. A participatory research approach employing eight focus group discussions was used to elicit and examine community perceptions. A variety of causal factors were cited as responsible for changes in both consumption and production of food over the past sixty years, particularly the onset of pests and diseases, the effects of climate change, and food aid. While access and availability pose major barriers to dietary diversity in Jumla, persistent food habits were found to underlie consumption patterns. It is therefore necessary that the production and markets for local foods are enhanced, development and food security are planned collectively, and new cooking methods and recipes are promoted to enable people to reacquire a taste for diversity
Proceedings of the Prairie Urban Congress 2000
Get PDFconference proceedings: vi., 53 pp., Digital file.The Prairie Urban Congress was held at a very opportune time. Municipalities and community-based
organizations currently face a difficult set of circumstances. The federal government has been devolving
housing responsibilities to lower levels of government and this devolution has, often by default, resulted in
new roles and responsibilities at the municipal and community levels. Senior levels of government are
providing very little funding for new affordable housing and community development initiatives.
Municipalities and community-based groups are facing increasing pressure to provide housing and
associated support services for low and moderate-income families. At the same time, municipalities face
increasing resistance to higher taxes to provide such services.
Reports from the five urban municipalities attending the Congress indicate there are different housing and
community development circumstances in each centre. Nevertheless, they have a great deal in
common, particularly a need for more affordable housing and a struggle to cobble together the resources
necessary to provide this housing. It is obvious from the information provided in this report that there are
many creative and effective initiatives in the five centres but the amount of new housing provided is
modest compared to the growing levels of need. The discussions also illustrate a need for capacity
building at the neighbourhood level so communities can become more involved in decisions surrounding
housing and community development initiatives.Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Human Resources Development Canada, City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, Western Economic Diversification Canad
Winnipeg Site Implementation Final Report
Get PDFImplementation Report. iv, 30 pp., ill., digital fileThis report documents the implementation of the Mental Health Commission of Canada’s At Home/Chez Soi project in Winnipeg. It reports on the viewpoints and perspectives of the site’s stakeholders concerning the fidelity of the Site to its original plans; formative issues related to successes and challenges; stakeholder relationships; the involvement of participants; issues related to Site resources; and the influences and consequences of the local Site context in terms of adaptations made to Winnipeg Site and the resources upon which it has drawn. The report is the result of interviews and focus groups facilitated by researchers at the Institute of Urban Studies at the University of Winnipeg.
The report begins with an assessment of the homelessness situation in Winnipeg prior to the implementation of the study, as well as a discussion regarding the nature of the study’s participants.
The report then considers project theory from the perspectives of service philosophy, processes, staff requirements and outcomes. The major components of housing and the three service arms are seen by most to be of equal value, in the sense that one part cannot work without the other.Mental Health Commission of Canad
