Invoking the little god of dispossession: Chilean dictatorship and political poetics in Mª José Ferrada.
No full textLa dictadura chilena ha sido abordada desde múltiples perspectivas e instancias, entre
las que destaca la literaria. En este artículo se pretende hablar de una de las voces más señaladas
de la llamada generación de la posdictadura o generación de los hijos de la dictadura, la de la
escritora María José Ferrada. Con el objetivo de comprender mejor sus estrategias particulares de
aproximación al citado hecho histórico, se analizan dos de sus libros, el poemario Niños, y el
álbum ilustrado La tristeza de las cosas, dedicados a las personas que fueron asesinadas o hechas
desaparecer bajo el régimen de Pinochet. Ferrada emplea el lenguaje poético y las fuentes
documentales para crear un universo propio en el que la memoria se reconstruye desde la
humanidad previa a la atrocidad. Lo cotidiano se transfigura en espacio político de
posicionamiento, donde las víctimas recuperan su relato personal. La voz comprometida de esta
autora chilena se dirige al público infantil, porque los niños y niñas también merecen saber lo que
ocurrió. Y porque, además, estos textos funcionan como caja de resonancia de la barbarie actual.The Chilean dictatorship has been approached from multiple perspectives and
instances, among which the literary one stands out. This article aims to talk about one of the most
outstanding voices of the so-called post-dictatorship generation or generation of the children of
the dictatorship, that of the writer María José Ferrada. In order to better understand her particular
strategies of approaching the aforementioned historical fact, two of her books are analyzed, the
poetry book Niños and the picturebook La tristeza de las cosas, dedicated to the people who were
murdered or made to disappear under the Pinochet regime. Ferrada uses poetic language and
documentary sources to create a universe of her own in which memory is reconstructed from
humanity prior to the atrocity. Everyday life is transfigured into a political space of positioning,
where the victims recover their personal stories. The committed voice of this Chilean author
addresses the children’s audience, because children also deserve to know what happened. And
because, in addition, these texts function as a sounding board for current barbarism
O estudante (in)visível na queixa escolar visível: um estudo sobre a constituição do sujeito na trajetória escolar
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2013.Esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre os sentidos produzidos pela criança/estudante com queixa escolar, no seu processo de escolarização, tendo como referência os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, da Psicologia Escolar Crítica, e dos estudos vinculados ao Fórum sobre a Medicalização da Educação e da Sociedade. Participaram do estudo cinco crianças/estudantes encaminhadas para avaliação e atendimento psicológico no Serviço de Psicologia na UNISUL (Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina), localizada na cidade de Palhoça, bem como os pais/responsáveis e professores dessas crianças. Na busca pela identificação e apreensão do que a criança tinha a dizer, foram elaboradas diferentes estratégias de pesquisa, objetivando o diálogo com o estudante e não sobre ele. Partiu-se do pressuposto de que o processo de constituição humana se dá por meio de mediações ? situações sociais de desenvolvimento ?, sendo a criança afetada profundamente por essas experiências, e tais mediações podem se caracterizar como algo restritivo ou emancipador do seu desenvolvimento. Como desdobramento do desenho de pesquisa, ancoragem teórica e metodológica, para acessar e melhor compreender as narrativas das crianças, foram criados cenários que pudessem garantir a escuta dos educadores e pais/responsáveis pelos estudantes que participaram da pesquisa. O foco da investigação foi, assim, o ponto de vista da criança, sendo privilegiadas as mediações vividas no espaço da escola e da família. O estudo demonstra que sucessivas experiências de humilhação, repetência, exclusão e medicalização têm produzido sofrimento, além, também, de ter atribuído sentidos às histórias de pouco sucesso escolar. Destaca-se, ainda, o peso de um olhar desqualificador, pautado sob a égide da normatização, classificação e do disciplinamento, fortemente presente no âmbito educacional, e que tem sido elemento norteador de práticas que justificam os encaminhamentos dos estudantes e das famílias em desvio. Por outro lado, evidencia-se que, quando os estudantes contam com outros cenários sociais, com experiências que validam a sua potência, que acolhem a diferença, que promovem atividades planejadas e construídas coletivamente, ao contar a sua história em voz alta, ou ao escutar uma história que é do colega, mas que traz fragmentos de algo que os aproxima ?, há uma possibilidade concreta de o estudante se estranhar no habitual lugar de aluno incapaz, e, de assim, imprimir novos sentidos a sua história escolar, ou seja, de ressignificar sua suposta incapacidade. <br
"There is life and death, and in between, text" : The existential qualities of poetry in Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli's <em data-start="73" data-end="94">Den förlorade sonen and creative writing
No full textThis thesis examines whether poetry can be considered a particularly suitable genre for addressing existential questions, through analyzing Caroline Ringskog Ferrada-Noli's debut poetry collection, Den förlorade sonen. Employing a lyrical analysis methodology, the thesis examines the three most central existential themes in the book and how the author chooses to portray them. The aim of this analysis is also to gain a deeper understanding of my own interest in addressing existential questions through poetry and what that appeal is about. The outcome reveals that three of the most prominent existential themes in Ferrada-Noli's Den förlorade sonen are death, identity and anxiety. The studys close textual analysis demonstrates how the author writes in a highly varied form, ranging from prose-like passages to fragmented verse lines through enjambments, blank spaces, line breaks and other literary pauses. Typical lyrical devices such as imagery, metaphors, repetition, alliteration, anaphora and other various types of rhyme are also applied to influence the poem's mood, create contrasts and paradoxical connections which render certain words or themes into something more powerful and memorable. The white spaces in poetry have been shown to remind us of a certain nothingness that we cannot speak about, but which poetry in this way can. In conclusion, these lyrical devices have an essential impact on the magnitude and force of the poem's existential themes and the reader's emotional resonance.C-uppsats i kreativt skrivande</p

Does Lean & Agile Project Management Help Coping with Project Complexity?
No full textStill, projects in the construction sector are delivered with time delays and cost overruns. One of the reasons for poor performance was assigned to project complexity. A combination of lean construction and agile project management are hypothesized as a possible solution to cope with project complexity. In this paper we aim to understand if the implicit usage of lean and agile help coping with complexity. The research was done by means of correlation analysis on data gathered from a structured questionnaire (67 responses). In total, 51 significant correlations among 255 possible relations were found. To reduce the number of variables, factor analysis was performed. Correlation analysis on the defined factors showed 8 significant correlations among 25 relations. Several lean and agile elements were shown to significantly correlate to either reducing complexity or managing complexity. It was therefore concluded that these are promising to cope with complexity and improve project performance, which is to be confirmed in subsequent research.Integral Design & Managemen
