Significados psicológicos sobre sexualidad, deseo y placer sexual en la adultez mayor / Psychological meanings on sexuality, desire, and sexual pleasure in seniorhood

Resumen Los significados sobre la sexualidad en la adultez mayor se encuentran sobre la base de una compleja interrelación entre factores sociales, culturales y personales. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo explorar los significados psicológicos que personas adultas mayores de la Ciudad de México le confieren a la sexualidad, al placer sexual y al deseo sexual, mediante el empleo de las redes semánticas naturales (modificadas). La muestra estuvo constituida por 204 personas: 162 mujeres y 40 hombres, entre los 60 y 100 años, asistentes a centros de educación continua para personas adultas mayores en la Ciudad de México. El estudio fue mixto, descriptivo, no experimental, con muestreo no probabilístico y por conveniencia. Los resultados muestran que los significados psicológicos que las personas adultas mayores estudiadas refieren sobre la sexualidad, el deseo y el placer sexual son predominantemente positivos, y abarcan sentimientos, comportamientos y sensaciones. Se identifican diferencias por género tal como se planteó en la hipótesis de investigación, pero también se encontraron similitudes dentro de dichos significados. En las adultas mayores predomina la interrelación entre significados afectivos y contacto físico, mientras que en los hombres predominan las sensaciones. En general la muestra describe la sexualidad, el deseo y el placer sexual de manera muy similar, lo cual lleva a comprender que las fronteras entre los términos son sensibles, de tal manera que los significados y referentes de las propias personas llegan a permearse.

Abstract The meanings of sexuality in seniorhood are found at the base of a complex interrelation between social, cultural and personal factors. The present research aimed to explore the psychological meanings that senior adults in Mexico City confer on sexuality, sexual pleasure and sexual desire; through the use of modified natural semantic networks. The sample consisted of 204 people: 162 senior women and 40 senior men, between 60 and 100 years old, attending a continuing education centers for senior adults in Mexico City. The study was mixed, descriptive, non-experimental, with non-probability and convenience sampling. The results show how the psychological meanings that the studied senior adults have related to sexuality, desire and sexual pleasure are predominantly positive, encompassing feelings, behaviors and sensations. Differences by gender are identified as proposed in the research hypothesis, but similarities within these meanings were also found. The senior women studied define sexuality from the interrelation between affective meanings and physical contact; the word "love" was the most referenced. In addition, they mentioned "pleasure", "desire", "caresses", "satisfaction", "kisses", "joy", "hugs", "health", "attraction", and "knowledge". Senior men, for their part, consider sexuality mainly as an attraction and include others such as: "satisfaction", "pleasure", "respect", "life", "fidelity", "complete", "unique", "woman", "touch", "important", "love", "knowledge", "passion", "desire", "need", and "affection". Women and men in the sample describe sexual desire and pleasure in a very similar way to their sexuality referents, which leads us to understand that the boundaries between the two terms are sensitive. Regarding sexual desire, senior women cite defining words such as: "caresses", "kisses", "love", "hugs", "pleasure", "desire", "necessary", "satisfaction", "natural", "attraction", "partner", "happiness", and "respect". In relation to sexual pleasure, they include the words: "enjoyment", "tenderness", "affection", "friendship", "joy", "it is the maximum", and "relaxing". For their part, senior men defined sexual desire as: "attraction", "love", "caresses", "satisfaction", "looks", "necessary", "natural", "woman", "kisses", "being alive", "respect", "passion", "libido", "important", "moving", "pleasure", "hug", "energy", "games", "excitement", "communication", "masturbation", "eroticism", and "taste". Sexual pleasure includes: "important", "fullness", "enjoyment", "respect", "pleasure", "joy", and "naturalness". The results show that the stage of sexuality in seniorhood is diverse and it is influenced by gender and social beliefs, which evidences the psychological complexity of this sphere of life.

Una aproximación a la satisfacción con la alimentación en familias monoparentales con jefatura femenina / An approach to satisfaction with food-related life in female-headed single parent households

Resumen 1Los hogares monoparentales se ven enfrentados a compatibilizar la generación de ingresos con las tareas de cuidado en el hogar, como la alimentación familiar, la cual se configura como un dominio clave en el bienestar. Es por ello, que el objetivo de este estudio buscó explorar los significados acerca de la satisfacción con la alimentación que tienen madres e hijos de familias monoparentales con jefatura femenina. A partir de un estudio de caso de método mixto, mediante la participación de 47 familias monoparentales de jefatura femenina, tanto madres como hijos adolescentes, cuyas edades fluctuaban entre 10 y 17 años de edad, completaron individualmente una tarea de asociación de palabras con "estar satisfecho con mi alimentación" y una tarea de finalización de palabras con "estaría más satisfecho con mi alimentación si...". Los resultados evidenciaron que los significados de la satisfacción con la alimentación son atribuibles a la conceptualización formal del constructo y que no existiría diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre las respuestas dadas por madres e hijos, en base a los determinantes de comportamiento en la alimentación. Así se concluyó que las similitudes en los significados, en torno a los determinantes que se identifican con la satisfacción con la alimentación y con los aspectos que podrían aumentarla, permiten constatar la influencia de la familia en las construcciones y significados que forman parte de la identidad individual y cultural de los adolescentes, lo cual se convierte en un insumo necesario para el diseño de prácticas y estrategias que propicien una mayor satisfacción con la alimentación.

Abstract Numerous female-headed single parent households face increased pressure when attempting to balance income generation with household responsibilities, such as family nutrition, which is critical given its greater influence on children's nutrition and diet quality (Hebestreit et al., 2017). This situation is critical in light of the fact that food is positioned as a critical domain of human well-being (Schnettler et al., 2014, 2017; Denegri et al., 2014, 2016). Satisfaction with food-related life is conceptualized as an individual's global cognitive evaluation of his or her diet (Grunert, Dean, Raats, Nielsen, y Lumbers, 2007); its formal definition is connected to other facets of life such as health, family, and social relationships (Grunert et al., 2007). According to the literature, satisfaction with food-related life is defined in terms of three primary determinants of eating behavior: the food consumed, the individual, and the diet's context (Köster, 2009). The purpose of this study is to contribute to our understanding of female-headed single-parent families and their meanings by examining the importance placed on the family as the first social space in which people construct and shape their social representations in various spheres of daily life (Moscovici, 1984). The overall objective is to investigate the meanings of satisfaction with food-related life for mothers and adolescent children in female-headed single-parent families. The specific objectives are to i) define the semantic entities of food satisfaction in relation to mothers and adolescent children, ii) identify factors that contribute to mothers' and adolescent children's food satisfaction, and iii) compare how mothers and adolescent children perceive their food satisfaction and the factors that contribute to it increasing. To accomplish these goals, a mixed case study research design was used. This entails combining quantitative and qualitative research methods in order to gain a better understanding of the research issues (Cresswell y Plano Clark, 2011). A total of 47 Chilean single-parent families with a female head of household participated in this study. It consists of a fee-paying mother that has at least one adolescent child between the ages of 10 and 17. The data collection method was an interview developed and tested in the Chilean population by Schnettler et al. (2020), based on a projective technique (Mesas y Escribano, 2018), in which mothers and adolescent children individually responded to the first words, terms, or phrases associated with the expression "being satisfied with my food-related life" with the goal of determining the meaning of satisfaction with food-related life. They were then asked to complete the sentence "I would be more satisfied with my food-related life if...". In order to identify factors that could improve their satisfaction with food-related life. The data was textually analyzed by segmenting and coding it. Subsequently, by establishing conceptual relationships, categories and supracategories were generated deductively (Krippendorff, 2004). Following that, the information expressed in the results and plotted in frequency tables is synthesized and interpreted. The Chi-square test was used to compare mothers' and adolescent children's responses (Agresti, 1990). In conclusion, the findings indicate that the meanings of satisfaction with food-related life can be ascribed to the construct's formal conceptualization. Thus, this study provides evidence that the construct is valid. There were also similarities in the meanings of mothers and adolescent children when it came to the determinants associated with food satisfaction, as well as the factors that could increase their satisfaction with food-related life. This finding is critical for establishing the family's influence on the constructs and meanings associated with adolescents' cultural identities.

Os sentidos do aposentar-se na visão de sujeitos aposentados / The senses of retirement in the perspective of retired subjects

O artigo tem o objetivo de investigar como se dá o processo de interrupção do trabalhar no momento da aposentadoria e como os sujeitos passam por essa experiência em um cenário em que o trabalho é considerado fundamental na vida das pessoas. Foi utilizada metodologia qualitativa, composta por análise de narrativa de entrevistas realizadas com 20 sujeitos aposentados. Os resultados da pesquisa evidenciam que o fator financeiro é bastante relevante, no entanto existem aspectos subjetivos que não são ponderados no momento de parar de trabalhar. De maneira complementar, percebeu-se que ficar sem trabalho em uma sociedade produtivista faz com que os sujeitos se sintam desconfortáveis, mesmo tendo o direito legitimado para o descanso. Eles dizem se sentir julgados como inúteis e improdutivos pela sociedade, o que torna o ócio penoso em muitos momentos. Por fim, as narrativas demonstraram que se aposentar é percebido como ficar velho e sem perspectiva de futuro

The article aims to investigate how retirement occurs and is perceived by subjects in a society in which work is seen as fundamental in people's lives. A qualitative approach was used and data were collected and analysed through interviews with 20 subjects and narrative analysis. Results show that finances is quite a relevant factor when choosing to retire, while subjective aspects to this process are disregarded. Complementarily, not working in a productivity-bound society makes subjects uncomfortable, despite their legitimized right to rest. The participants reported feeling judged as useless and unproductive by society, which makes idleness painful in many moments. Finally, the narrative analysis showed that retiring is perceived as getting old and having no perspective for the future

Percepções de mulheres trabalhadoras sobre gestação e os sentidos do trabalho / Working women's perceptions on pregnancy and the meanings of work

Trabalhar é essencial para a vida dos indivíduos e seu sentido é construído a partir das percepções subjetivas e do contexto socio-histórico de cada um. No entanto, para muitas mulheres, alguns marcos da vida, como a gestação, exigem grande reorganização da sua própria identidade e de suas prioridades. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa tentou compreender os sentidos do trabalho para mulheres em período gestacional. Oito gestantes trabalhadoras foram entrevistadas e os dados submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Logo, pôde-se verificar que, para as entrevistadas, um trabalho que tenha sentido é o que proporciona prazer, satisfação e realização. Sobre o trabalho e a gestação, apesar de notarem mudanças no modo de realização das atividades laborais, as mulheres não consideraram a gravidez um impeditivo, reforçando a ideia de trabalho como fonte de segurança financeira e de subsistência. Dessa forma, identifica-se um deslocamento dos sentidos do trabalho que antes eram predominantemente positivos, e, durante a gestação, um fortalecimento da perspectiva instrumental. Percepções sobre trabalho e gestação corroboram com a compreensão de centralidade dos fenômenos e com a reflexão sobre as mudanças que a gestação pode trazer à vida das trabalhadoras e ao seu vínculo com o trabalho

Working is central to the individuals' lives and its meaning is constructed from subjective perceptions and by the social-historical context of each person. However, for many women, life milestones such as pregnancy, require a great reorganization of their own identity and of their priorities. In this sense, this research tried to understand the meanings of work for pregnant women. Eight pregnant workers were interviewed, and the data were submitted to content analysis. Thus, we could observe that, for the interviewees, a meaningful job is what provides pleasure, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Regarding work and pregnancy, despite noticing changes in the way of carrying out work activities, women do not consider pregnancy to be an impediment, reinforcing the idea of work as a source of financial security and subsistence. In this way, we identified a shift in the meanings of work that were previously predominantly positive, and, during pregnancy, the strengthening of the instrumental perspective. Perceptions about work and pregnancy corroborate the understanding of the centrality of the phenomena and the reflection on the changes that pregnancy can bring to the worker's life and to the bond with work

O surgimento de líderes autoritários: significados das posições direita-esquerda e sentimento de anomia / The emergence of authoritarian leaders: meanings of right-left positions and sense of anomie / El surgimiento de líderes autoritarios: significados de las posiciones derecha-izquierda y sentimiento de anomia

Analisa-se, em dois estudos, a relação entre o sentimento de anomia, os significados das posições políticas e o desejo por líderes autoritários. No estudo 1 (n = 230; idade média = 20,99; 50,9% de sexo masculino), os resultados indicaram que o voto em Jair Bolsonaro se correlacionou com o desejo por um líder autoritário, menor anomia política e um posicionamento mais à Direita no espectro político. No estudo 2 (n = 181; idade média = 29,1; 59,1% de sexo masculino), verificamos que a Direita é significada como "liberalismo-conservador"; enquanto a Esquerda foi associada ao "Comunismo/Socialismo", pelos de Direita e Centro, ou à defesa das minorias, pelos demais. Concluímos sugerindo a necessidade de maior atenção, científica e política, ao surgimento de populismos constitucionais e à existência de semelhança semântica nas visões dos participantes de Direita, Centro e dos sem posição política em relação à Esquerda.

We analyzed the relationship between the sense of anomie, the meanings of political positions and the desire for authoritarian leaders in two studies. In study 1 (n = 230; mean age = 20.99; 50.9% male), the results indicated that voting for Jair Bolsonaro was correlated with a desire for an authoritarian leader, less political anomie and a position further to the Right on the political spectrum. In study 2 (n = 181; mean age = 29.1; 59.1% male), we found that the Right is meant as "conservative-liberalism"; while the Left was associated with "Communism/Socialism", by the Right and Center participants, or with the defense of minorities, by the others. We conclude suggesting the need for greater scientific and political attention to the emergence of constitutional populisms and the existence of semantic similarity in the views of participant from the Right, Center and those without a political position in relation to the Left.

Analizamos, en dos estudios, la relación entre la anomia, los significados de las posiciones políticas y el deseo de un líder autoritario. En el estudio 1 (n = 230; media de edad = 20,99; 50,9% masculino), el voto por Jair Bolsonaro se correlacionó con el deseo de un líder autoritario, menos anomia política y un posicionamiento de derecha en el espacio político. En el estudio 2 (n = 181; media de edad = 29,1; 59,1% hombres), encontramos que la Derecha es entendida como "liberal-conservador"; mientras que la Izquierda se asoció con el "comunismo/socialismo", por los participantes de la Derecha y del Centro, o la defensa de las minorías, por los demás. Concluimos sugiriendo la necesidad de una mayor atención científica y política a la aparición de populismos constitucionales y la existencia de similitudes semánticas en los puntos de vista de los de Derecha, Centro y sin posición política en relación con la Izquierda.

Revisión sobre los estudios en el campo académico de la discapacidad y las personas con discapacidad / Review on Studies in the Academic Field of Disability and Persons with Disabilities

Resumen El propósito de este trabajo es presentar un estado del arte sobre los estudios en el campo académico de la discapacidad en un intento por aportar elementos teóricos a quienes vienen trabajando la discapacidad como problema social y no como un asunto de tipo médico y rehabilitador. Se realizó una revisión documental de artículos de investigación, capítulos de libros y libros en diversas bases de datos donde se analizaron 55 fuentes documentales utilizando como técnica el análisis documental a partir del instrumento de la regilla documental. Entre los resultados se destaca que los problemas sobre los que ha girado el estudio de la discapacidad han sido en educación inclusiva, desarrollo humano, justicia social, estudios decoloniales y críticos de la discapacidad, y alrededor de la identidad y el reconocimiento. Se concluye que aún prevalece una mirada a la discapacidad y las personas con discapacidad desde la deficiencia, la superación, la rehabilitación y la limitación, y aunque existen estudios que interpelan a los sujetos con discapacidad, en estos prevalecen los abordajes alrededor de los obstáculos o elementos facilitadores para la inclusión.

Abstract This paper aims to present the state of art on research in the academic field of disability in an attempt to provide theoretical elements to those who have been working on disability as a social problem and not as a medical and rehabilitative issue. A documentary review of research articles, book chapters, and books in various databases was carried out. Fifty-five documentary sources were analyzed using the documentary analysis technique based on the documentary grid instrument. Among the results, it is highlighted that the study of disability has revolved around the aspects of inclusive education, human development, social justice, decolonial and critical studies of disability, and identity and recognition. It is concluded that disability and persons with disabilities are still viewed from the point of view of impairment, overcoming, rehabilitation, and limitation, and although there are studies that question subjects with disabilities, these studies focus on the obstacles or facilitating elements for inclusion.

Narrativas en torno al dolor: la fibromialgia vista desde la experiencia de profesionales de la salud chilenos / Pain Narratives: Fibromyalgia Syndrome from the Experience-Based Perspective of Chilean Health Professionals / Narrativas em torno da dor: a fibromialgia vista a partir da experiência de profissionais de saúde chilenos

Objetivo: comprender el conjunto de creencias personales que subyacen al síndrome de fibromialgia entre un grupo de profesionales de la salud chilenos, cuyo trabajo incluye el diagnóstico y tratamiento de este cuadro. Desarrollo: durante el 2018 se realizaron dieciséis entrevistas en profundidad a profesionales que presentaban experiencia en el manejo clínico de la fibromialgia y se desempeñaban tanto en el sistema de salud pública como en el sistema privado en la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. Conclusiones: los resultados dan cuenta de cinco ejes temáticos que delimitan y predisponen la práctica clínica en torno a dichos pacientes: 1) definición y cuadro clínico, 2) caracterización de quienes presentan fibromialgia, 3) género y fibromialgia, 4) tratamiento y relación terapéutica y 5) fibromialgia y contexto familiar. Las creencias de los profesionales tratantes desempeñan un importante papel en el trabajo clínico y la vinculación hacia quienes padecen fibromialgia, en cuanto sostienen la posibilidad de intervención. Desde un rol pedagógico, se busca modificar un amplio espectro de comportamientos que se alejan de lo que los profesionales consideran una adecuada calidad de vida, bajo el supuesto de que aquello conducirá a una reducción del dolor propio de este diagnóstico.

Introduction: The present study aimed to comprehend personal beliefs about the fibromyalgia syndrome among a group of Chilean health professionals whose work include the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. Development: In 2018, 16 in-depth interviews were conducted with professionals with prior experience in the clinical management of fibromyalgia who had worked in both the public and private health systems in the city of Santiago, Chile. Conclusions: The results revealed five thematic axes that delimit and predispose clinical practices around these patients: 1) Definition and clinical picture, 2) char-acterization of individuals with fibromyalgia, 3) gender and fibromyalgia, 4) treatment and therapeutic relationship, and 5) fibromyalgia and family context. The results suggested that the beliefs of the treating professionals play an important role in clinical practice and connection with patients with fibromyalgia, while supporting the possibility of intervention. From the pedagogical perspective, a wide spectrum of behaviors should be modified to ensure an adequate quality of life so that this course will lead to reduced pain in this medical condition.

Introdução: o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender o conjunto de crenças pessoais que fundamentam a síndrome da fibromialgia, entre um grupo de profissionais de saúde chilenos cujo trabalho inclui o diag-nóstico e tratamento desta condição. Desenvolvimento: durante o ano de 2018, foram realizadas dezes-seis entrevistas em profundidade com profissionais com experiência no manejo clínico da fibromialgia e que atuavam nos sistemas de saúde público e privado na cidade de Santiago do Chile. Conclusões: os resultados mostram cinco eixos temáticos que delimitam e predispõem a prática clínica em torno desses pacientes: 1) Definição e quadro clínico, 2) caracterização dos que apresentam fibromialgia, 3) gênero e fibromialgia, 4) tratamento e relação terapêutica e 5) fibromialgia e contexto familiar. Conclui-se que as crenças dos profissionais atuantes têm um papel importante no trabalho clínico e no vínculo estabele-cido com quem sofre de fibromialgia, desde que apoiem a possibilidade de intervenção. A partir de um papel pedagógico, busca-se a modificação de um amplo espectro de comportamentos que estão distantes do que os profissionais consideram uma qualidade de vida adequada, sob o pressuposto de que isso levará à redução da dor típica desse diagnóstico.

Uma proposta metodológica para Análise do Discurso baseada na hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur / A methodological proposal for discourse analysis based on the hermeneutic of Paul Ricoeur / Una propuesta metodológica para el análisis del discurso basada en la hermenéutica de Paul Ricoeur

Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta metodológica de análise do discurso baseada na fenomenologia hermenêutica de Paul Ricoeur. Discutiu-se seu conceito de interpretação e suas implicações para a análise do discurso. Não obstante Paul Ricoeur tenha enfatizado em sua obra a produção escrita, destacou-se as especificidades das narrativas orais produzidas nos contextos de pesquisa tendo por base as relações interpessoais entre colaboradores e pesquisadores e elaborou-se um instrumento intitulado "Fluxograma para Análise Fenomenológica do Discurso em Paul Ricoeur", composto de quatro etapas, o recorte do texto, as marcas linguísticas, os sentidos vivenciais e a compreensão hermenêutica, com o objetivo de auxiliar o pesquisador na construção de sentidos tendo como base os discursos produzidos na interação com os participantes em pesquisas qualitativas.

This study aimed to present a methodological proposal for discourse analysis based on Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology. This paper discusses the concepts of interpretation and its implications for discourse analysis. Although Paul Ricoeur emphasized the written production in his work, the specificities of the oral narratives produced in the research contexts were highlighted based on the interpersonal relationships between collaborators and researchers. An instrument was elaborated and denominated "Flowchart to Phenomenological Discourse Analysis In Paul Ricoeur", formed by four steps, the extract of the text, the language marks, the senses of experience and the hermeneutic comprehension, in order to assist the researchers in the construction of meanings on the speeches produced during the interaction with the participants in qualitative researches.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo presentar una propuesta metodológica para un Análisis del Discurso basada en la fenomenología hermenéutica de Paul Ricoeur. Fueron discutidos sus conceptos de interpretación y sus implicaciones para el análisis del discurso. Aunque Paul Ricoeur enfatizó la producción escrita en su trabajo, se resaltaron las especificidades de las narraciones orales producidas en los contextos de investigación, basadas en las relaciones interpersonales entre los colaboradores e investigadores y fue elaborado un instrumento llamado "Diagrama de Flujo para el Análisis Fenomenológico del Discurso en Paul Ricoeur" formado por cuatro etapas, el recorte de texto, las marcas lingüísticas, los sentidos experienciales y la comprensión hermenéutica, para ayudar al investigador en la construcción de sentidos de los discursos producidos en la interacción con los participantes en las investigaciones cualitativas.

Vazios do Trabalho / The emptiness of work

Este artigo tem como tema os sentidos do trabalho e o lugar da psicologia em um órgão público voltado para a qualificação profissional e a geração de emprego e renda. A escrita de narrativas do cotidiano de trabalho operou a função de abrir questões sobre a (im)possibilidade do fazer psicologia em um lugar repleto de contradições sobre os sentidos do que ali deveria ser o próprio trabalho. Por meio da criação de um personagem denominado "alguém", buscou-se tocar em um problema que não tem contorno nítido e que só poderia ser definido, segundo Kastrup e Passos, como uma atmosfera, um 'felt-meaning'. A invenção de alguém é o artifício para a experimentação de vidas que não se limitam àquela vivida em primeira pessoa pelas pesquisadoras, permitindo a passagem por um lugar impessoal, lugar tão indeterminado quanto alguém, que possibilita pensar sobre o que não está oculto, mas tampouco é visível. O vazio de sentido vivenciado no cotidiano de trabalho se abre em imagens/cenas que, narradas na forma escrita, transformam o vazio em experiência.(AU)

This article is a research report developed in the Master's Degree in Social and Institutional Psychology and its theme is the ramifications of the emptiness on a path through the world of work. The writing of narratives of the daily work operated to open questions about the (im)possibility of doing psychology in a place full of contradictions about the meaning of what the work itself should be there. Through the creation of a character, someone, it seeks to touch on a topic that has no definite boundary, it is more about of an atmosphere, a felt-meaning. The invention of someone is the artifice for the experimentation of lives that are not limited to that lived in the first person by the researcher, allowing the passage through an impersonal place, a place as indeterminate as someone, that makes it possible to think about things that are not hidden, but neither are they visible. The emptiness of meaning experienced in the daily work opens in images/scenes that, when recounted in the written form, transform the emptiness into experience.(AU)

Este artículo es un relato de la investigación desarrollada en el Máster en Psicología Social y Institucional y tiene como tema las ramificaciones del vacío en un camino por el mundo del trabajo.

Esporte, recreação e lazer nos jogos políticos: reflexões a partir da inserção numa ação coletiva em Porto Alegre / Sport, recreation and leisure in political games: reflections based on participation in a collective action in Porto Alegre

O objetivo do trabalho foi compreender o que esteve em jogo na Câmara Municipal de Vereadores de Porto Alegre, no período de 02 de janeiro a 12 de julho de 2017, em que pese à (re) produção de significados do esporte, recreação e lazer como campo de intervenção de interesse público-social e da ação coletiva 'Somos Todos SME' como forma de luta política para manter a Secretaria. Foi uma pesquisa realizada a partir de uma experiência investigativa de participação observante registrada através de anotações, diários de campo, relatórios e documentos produzidos. Também utilizamos documentos oficiais disponíveis no acervo da Câmara Municipal e no Diário Oficial de Porto Alegre. Implicados por questões teórico-conceituais da obra de Pierre Bourdieu desenvolvemos um processo analítico-interpretativo que nos possibilitou concluir que estiveram em jogo menos os significados do esporte, recreação e lazer como campo de intervenção e mais os significados da ação coletiva que se colocava de maneira crescentemente articulada na cena pública para demandar a manutenção da SME.

This work focuses on understanding what was at stake in the Porto Alegre City Council on January 2-July 12, 2017 regarding (re)production of meanings in sport, recreation and leisure as an intervention field of public-social interest and the collective action 'We're All SME' (We all support the Porto Alegre Municipal Education Department) as a form of political struggle to maintain the Department. The study was based on an investigative experience of observant participation recorded through notes, field diaries, reports and documents produced. We also used official documents publicly available at Porto Alegre' City Council and the Municipal Gazette. Driven by theoretical-conceptual issues from Pierre Bourdieu's work, we developed an analytical-interpretative process that led us to conclude that what was at stake was the meanings of collective action increasingly interconnected in the public scene to demand the maintenance of the Municipal Education Department ­ rather than the meanings of sport, recreation and leisure as a field of intervention.

Abstract The article sought to analyze the way in which specialized publications address studies, and what are the themes associated with the study of the meanings and senses of work in young people. A systematic review was carried out from 2000 to 20i8. To identify the general characteristics of the production, descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used. The search showed that scientific production on the subject has increased, articles on work modalities, first work experiences, identity, job placement, education, mental abilities, job profiles, and job search prevail. Changes in the world of work generate the need to study the meanings and senses about this activity in young people.

Experiencia de una niña de nueve años ante la separación parental / Effects of parental separation: listening to a nine-year-old girl / Efeitos da separação parental: ouvindo uma menina de nove anos

Resumen (analítico) En este estudio cualitativo se describen y analizan los efectos de la separación parental, a través de la mirada y voz de una niña de nueve años. Se empleó como instrumento una entrevista semiestructurada y un análisis de resultados de tipo categórico. Las repercusiones observadas se clasificaron en efectos individuales como el manejo de la información y la construcción de explicaciones, así como una mayor independencia y mejora en su autoconcepto; y efectos en su entorno familiar, tales como la modificación en los vínculos afectivos con sus padres, dinámicas familiares más consistentes y mayores momentos de bienestar. Concluyendo que los infantes son participantes activos en la construcción de sus significados y que la separación de los padres puede permitir la generación de experiencias de crecimiento.

Abstract (analytical) In this qualitative study, the effects of parental separation are described and analyzed through the voice and point of view of a nine-year-old girl. The authors used a semi-structured interview and categorical data analysis to identify these effects. The identified repercussions of the parental separation were classified into individual effects, such as information management and construction of explanations, as well as higher levels of independence and improvements in self-awareness. The authors also identified effects on the family environment such as modification of affective bonding with parents, more consistent family dynamics and increased moments of wellbeing. The study concludes that children perform an active role in the construction of their meaning and parental separation can facilitate the generation of self-growth experiences.

Condiciones laborales y transformaciones en significados del trabajo en inmigrantes profesionales colombianos en Rancagua, Chile / Labor conditions and transformations in the meanings of work in Colombian professional immigrants in Rancagua, Chile

Resumen La presente investigación tuvo por objetivo estudiar la relación entre las condiciones laborales y las transformaciones en los significados del trabajo en colombianos profesionales migrantes en Rancagua (Chile) explicada desde el modelo desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa de Siegrist, y la teoría de los dos factores higiénicos y motivadores de Herzberg y colaboradores. Se realizó una investigación cualitativa por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas a siete participantes, con diseño narrativo biográfico, analizadas a través de líneas narrativas y relatos de vida. Se encontró que los significados se configuran según las condiciones laborales ofrecidas por cada contexto laboral sea del país de origen o de destino. Los significados de los participantes variaron en la centralidad que pasó a ser relativa, la ampliación y refuerzo de derechos y deberes laborales, y el fortalecimiento de valores laborales (aspectos deseados en el trabajo) relativos a mejores condiciones laborales y de calidad de vida. El trabajo pasó de concebirse principalmente como fuente de subsistencia, a ser fuente de crecimiento y realización personal. Se sugiere realizar investigaciones con un mayor número de participantes así como desde una perspectiva cuantitativa para ampliar el espectro, y en distintos países. Esto le permitiría al gobierno correspondiente tomar medidas en política pública para favorecer las condiciones laborales dentro del territorio colombiano y cuidar la fuga de la fuerza laboral a mercados de trabajo que cuentan con mejores condiciones.

Abstract The objective of this research was to study the relationship between the working conditions and transformations in the meanings of work in Colombian migrant professionals of Rancagua (Chile), explained from Siegrist's effort-reward imbalance model, and the theory of the two hygienic and motivational factors exposed by Herzberg and collaborators. A qualitative investigation was carried out through semi-structured interviews with seven participants, with biographical narrative design, analyzed through narrative lines and life stories. It was found that the meanings are configured according to the working conditions offered by each work context, whether it is the country of origin or destination. The meanings of the participants varied in the centrality which became relative, the expansion and reinforcement of labor rights and duties, and the strengthening of labor values (desired aspects at work) related to better working conditions and quality of life. Work went from being conceived mainly as a source of subsistence to being a source of personal growth and fulfillment. Further research is suggested with a larger number of participants as well as from a quantitative perspective in order to enhance working conditions within the colombian territory and safeguard the talent drain to job markets with greater conditions.

Produção de significados para o esporte: uma contribuição / Production of meanings for sport: a contribution / Producción de significados para el deporte: una contribución

Objetivos: O estudo objetiva compreender o esporte enquanto fenômeno, tomando recortes no debate acadêmico em âmbito nacional, utilizando contribuições do Modelo Teórico dos Campos Semânticos (MTCS). Método: Para alcançar tal objetivo utilizou-se uma ferramenta de citação da Plataforma Lattes (CNPq) para localizar referências para o esporte, como Bracht (1997), Kunz (1994), Tubino (2003), Assis de Oliveira (2010) e Borges e Furtado (2019). Resultados: Em seguida, foram utilizados os elementos do MTCS como categorias de análise, resultando em significados similares como reformulação e reinvenção, além de significados antagônicos como continuidade e ruptura. Conclusão: Deste modo, a discussão foi construída em torno das divergências e convergências presentes nos significados analisados, inferindo-se que esse Modelo possibilita uma nova forma de análise que permite uma compreensão diferenciada do fenômeno esportivo.

Os sentidos atribuídos à deficiência pelos profissionais de saúde e o acesso das pessoas com deficiência aos serviços de saúde / The meanings attributed to disability by health professionals and the access of people with disabilities to health services

Objetivo: O estudo analisa como os profissionais da rede pública de saúde de doze municípios do Estado de São Paulo, Brasil - atribuem sentidos à "deficiência". Método: Foram realizadas 121 entrevistas semi-estruturadas, em 63 serviços. Os profissionais responderam a pergunta: Para você o que é deficiência/incapacidade? Os depoimentos foram organizados em núcleos temáticos e interpretados sob a perspectiva sócio histórica. Resultados: Constatou-se que predomina uma compreensão preconceituosa, assistencialista e paternalista sobre a deficiência. Observou-se nos depoimentos uma hesitação entre os sentidos atribuídos à deficiência e incapacidade, com abordagens reducionistas pautadas em paradigmas organicistas e/ou calcadas no senso comum. Não houve depoimentos que explicitassem conceitos de deficiência na perspectiva do modelo social de deficiência. Conclusão: É essencial que os serviços de saúde promovam espaços de reflexão entre profissionais sobre seus valores e sentidos que atribuem à deficiência e à prática assistencial, o que pode contribuir para a transformação cultural dos sentidos atribuídos ao fenômeno da deficiência e para o acesso aos bens de saúde

Objective: The study analyzes how professionals from the public health network in twelve municipalities in the State of São Paulo, Brazil - attribute meanings to "disability". Method: 121 semi-structured interviews were carried out in 63 services. The professionals answered the question: For you, what is disability? The testimonies were organized into thematic nuclei and interpreted from a sociohistorical perspective. Results: It was found that a prejudiced, charity and paternalistic understanding of disability prevails. A hesitation between the meanings attributed to disability and incapacity was observed in the testimonies, with reductionist approaches based on organicist paradigms and/or grounded in common sense. There were no statements that explained the concepts of disability from the perspective of the social model of disability. Conclusion: It is essential that health services promote spaces for reflection among professionals about their values and meanings they attribute to disability and care practice, which can contribute to the cultural transformation of the meanings attributed to the phenomenon of disability and to access to goods of health

A Experiência Drag Queen como Transição na Vida Adulta / The Drag Queen Experience as a Transition in Adult Life / La Experiencia Drag Queen como Transición en la Vida Adulta

A partir de reflexões teóricas impulsionadas pela Rede de Significações (RedSig) e Teorias de Gênero, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar sentidos e significados tecidos sobre a experiência como drag queen na vida adulta. A metodologia utilizada teve base em entrevistas biográficas, realizadas com cinco participantes, entre 20 e 39 anos, que têm ou já tiveram experiência como drag queens. Para a análise, foi realizada uma abordagem microgenética, correlacionando elementos da RedSig com as narrativas. Os resultados indicaram que a vida adulta não aparece como percurso linear, sendo permeada por rupturas, conflitos e negociações de sentidos e posições. A vida adulta se torna o palco no qual é possível ocupar determinados espaços de poder para colocar em prática desejos e curiosidades que, por vezes, remontam à infância. A drag queen emerge como um elemento relacionado a esse processo, atrelada a diversos sentidos e significados positivos (arte, realização, liberdade) e negativos (vergonha, preconceito, degradante). (AU)

From theoretical reflections driven by the Network of Meanings and Gender Theories, this work aims to investigate senses and meanings constructed on experience as a drag queen in adult life. The methodology used was based in biographical interviews, carried out with five participants, between 20 and 39 years of age, who have or already had experience as drag queens. For the analysis, a microgenetic approach was performed, correlating elements of the Net of Meanings with the narratives. Adulthood does not appear as a linear course, being permeated by ruptures, conflicts and negotiations of meanings and positions. Adulthood becomes the stage on which it is possible to occupy certain spaces of power to put into practice desires and curiosities that sometimes go back to childhood. The drag queen emerges as an element related to this process, tied to several positive (art, accomplishment, freedom) and negative (shame, prejudice, degrading) senses and meanings. (AU)

Cambios en los significados de la masculinidad en hombres del sur de Chile / Changes in the meaning of masculinity in men of southern Chile

Resumen En América Latina, los estudios sobre masculinidades e intervención con hombres, desarrollados en las últimas décadas, han buscado conocer las subjetividades y prácticas, así como los modelos y mandatos de la masculinidad, visibilizando la participación de los hombres en algunas desigualdades de género (Aguayo y Nascimento, 2016; Olavarría, 2017). Si bien estos estudios muestran una evolución en el modelo tradicional de masculinidad, en América Latina, y en especial en Chile, existen brechas de conocimiento acerca de las diferencias en las representaciones de la masculinidad en distintas generaciones y contextos sociales (Aguayo y Nascimento, 2016). El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir los significados de la masculinidad en hombres del sur de Chile, comparando generaciones y niveles socioeconómicos. Se utilizó un diseño de casos múltiples; la muestra estuvo constituida por jóvenes (18 a 24 años) y adultos medios (45-69 años) distribuidos en tres niveles socioeconómicos. Se desarrollaron seis grupos de discusión. Para el análisis de la información se llevó a cabo un primer nivel de codificación abierta, estableciendo unidades de significado. Estas unidades fueron transformadas por medio de un proceso inductivo en categorías, las cuales fueron comparadas para identificar similitudes, diferencias y posibles vínculos entre ellas. Se encontraron coincidencias y diferencias en los significados asociados a la masculinidad, en función de la edad y del nivel socioeconómico. Las coincidencias en función de la edad se dieron principalmente en las categorías Identidad y Trabajo, y las mayores diferencias en el núcleo Sexualidad, mientras que en función del nivel socioeconómico la mayor diferencia estuvo en la categoría Trabajo.

Abstract In Latin America, studies on masculinities and intervention with men developed in recent decades have sought to know the subjectivities and practices, as well as the models and mandates of masculinity, making visible the participation of men in some gender inequalities (Aguayo y Nascimento, 2016; Olavarría, 2017). Although these studies show an evolution in the traditional model of masculinity, in Latin America and in Chile, there are knowledge gaps about differences in the representations of masculinity in different generations and social contexts (Aguayo y Nascimento, 2016). The purpose of this study was describing the meanings of masculinity in men from southern Chile, comparing generations and socioeconomic levels. A multiple case design was used, sample consisted of 44 Chilean men, young men between 18 and 25 years, and middle adults between 45-69 years, distributed in 3 socioeconomic: levels, high, medium and low. Six discussion groups were developed around a set of guiding questions, built by the authors, in relation to the mandates of masculinity: identity referred to the characteristics that the participants consider essential to masculinity, sexuality, paid work and paternity. Information obtained was transcribed the first level of open coding was then carried out, which consisted in selecting units of meaning which emerged from the answers to the guiding questions. These units, consisting of paragraphs, were transformed into categories by an inductive process, each category being given a code representing its meaning. The second level of coding -at a greater level of abstraction- consisted in comparing the categories, identifying similarities, differences and possible links between them. Results, in the first nucleus, Identity, arise as main categories: Concept in Transition, Difficulty of Being Men, Action-Oriented, Restriction in the Expression of Emotions, Integrity, Masculinity given by the Biological Condition. In the second nucleus Work: Provide Identity Trait of Masculinity, Facilitator of Independence, Source of Self-Realization and Dignification, Obstacle for the Satisfaction of Other Needs, Labor Discrimination towards Women. In the third nucleus, Sexuality, categories differentiated by age, in young people emerge Acceptance of Homosexuality, Stereotypes in Sexual Behavior and Increase in Sexual Demands. In adults Divergences against the Mandate of Heterosexuality and in both groups Sexual Behavior in Transition. On the other hand, coincidences and differences were found in the meanings associated with masculinity, depending on age and socioeconomic status. The coincidences in the Identity nucleus, realize that men, regardless of their age or socioeconomic condition, experience a situation of accelerated change in their roles, which affects them to a greater or lesser extent, which is experienced by the majority of young people as a possibility of transcending stereotypes, allowing them greater degrees of freedom. Regarding the core Work, however, the broad coincidence in all groups in relation to the mandate of being a provider, certain nuances are appreciated, for adults it is an internal mandate, a duty of masculinity, while for young people it seems respond to an external social demand, which accounts for a masculinity in transition. The differences, by age range were the nucleus Sexuality, where young people have more openness to address their own sexuality and more inclusive behaviors against homosexuality. Differences relating socioeconomic level occurred in the nucleus Work between young people and adults. If in the young people of high and medium socioeconomic level, work implies the possibility of becoming independent, for youngsters of low socioeconomic level, it also means taking care of their parents, responding to a duty of reciprocity. In adults of low socioeconomic level, unlike those in the medium and high level, the centrality and physical requirement of work displaces others needs as health care and sexual life.

Sexualidad en el contexto de los procesos de vida de mujeres y varones con endocrinopatías: una aproximación cualitativa / Sexuality in the life processes context of women and men with endocrinopathies: A qualitative approach

Resumen Antecedentes las enfermedades del sistema endocrino pueden afectar la sexualidad por sus efectos hormonales, las comorbilidades asociadas y su impacto psicosocial, tema poco estudiado desde las perspectivas de personas con estas enfermedades. Objetivos: se realizó un estudio cualitativo dirigido a comprender las experiencias sexuales de mujeres y varones con enfermedades endocrinas que producen cambios en la apariencia física. Método: se estructuró un diseño de estudio analítico-interpretativo. Participaron 68 personas entre 20 y 45 años de edad, atendidos en el Instituto Nacional de Endocrinología, La Habana, Cuba. Los instrumentos de recolección de la información utilizados fueron una planilla de datos generales, una guía de entrevista en profundidad y dos pruebas psicológicas proyectivas. Los aspectos éticos fueron considerados. Resultados: de las entrevistas en profundidad, emergieron 4 temas: 1) la expresión multidimensional de la enfermedad, 2) enfermedad y áreas de vida, 3) ejercicio de la sexualidad con la enfermedad, y 4) estrategias de afrontamiento en el área sexual; vinculados con los significados expresados sobre la salud, el cuerpo, el género y la sexualidad. Conclusiones: las/los participantes contextualizaron sus experiencias sexuales en el impacto biopsicosocial de la enfermedad. La reproducción o cuestionamiento de los significados expresados influyó en la calidad de sus experiencias sexuales. El estudio mostró que esta constituye un área de vulnerabilidad para la salud integral de las/los participantes.

Abstract Background endocrine disorders may affect sexuality due to hormonal changes, associated comorbidities and psychosocial impact. This topic remains poorly researched from the perspective of people with these conditions. Objectives: a qualitative research was conducted to understand the sexual experiences of women and men living with endocrine disorders that change their physical appearance. Methods: an analytical-interpretive study was carried out with a sample of 68 participants aged between 20 and 45, and treated at the National Institute of Endocrinology, Havana, Cuba. Data collection instruments were a personal information sheet, an in-depth interview guide and two projective psychological tests. Ethical aspects were considered. Results: in-depth interviews gave rise to four topics: 1) multidimensional expression of the disease, 2) the disease and life areas, 3) sexuality with the disease, and 4) coping strategies in the sexual area. These topics were linked to the meanings of health, body, gender and sexuality. Conclusions: the participants contextualized their sexual experiences within the biopsychosocial impact of the endocrine disorder, as well as the reproduction or questioning of the meanings that influenced the quality of their sexual experiences. The study showed that sexuality is a vulnerable area for the participants' comprehensive health.

Beneficios y perjuicios atribuidos a los trastornos de conducta alimentaria / Benefits and losses attributed to eating disorder

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los significados atribuidos a las consecuencias de los trastornos de conducta alimentaria (TCA) por parte de mujeres usuarias de un programa de tratamiento residencial en Lima, Perú. Esto con base a un enfoque cualitativo y la teoría fundamentada. Participaron ocho mujeres diagnosticadas con TCA, de entre 14 y 24 años de edad. Las técnicas empleadas fueron entrevista individual, grupo focal y documentos personales. Los resultados indicaron que las participantes valoraron las consecuencias del trastorno como beneficiosas y perjudiciales, alternándose dicha valoración según la situación y el logro de sus metas. Los beneficios atribuidos al TCA fueron bajar de peso en corto tiempo, aceptación y aprobación del grupo social, incremento de sus relaciones interpersonales, y atención y afecto de familiares. Los perjuicios atribuidos fueron deterioro de la salud, pérdida de funcionalidad física y social, activación de pensamientos disfuncionales, impulsividad/agresividad y desconfianza de la familia. Los resultados brindan sustento teórico a la implementación de estrategias de tratamiento que enfaticen los procesos de construcción de significados personales, contextuales y funcionales que se asignan a las conductas problemas del TCA, de tal forma que se promueva el cambio motivacional en las pacientes.

Abstract The objective of the study was to identify the meanings attributed to the consequences of eating disorders (ED) by women users of a residential treatment program in Lima, Perú. This is based on a qualitative approach and grounded theory. Eight women diagnosed with ED, between 14 and 24 years of age, participated. The techniques used were individual interview, focus group and personal documents. The results indicated that the participants evaluated the consequences of the disorders as beneficial and damaging, alternating this assessment according to the situation and the achievement of their goals. The benefits attributed to the ED were to lose weight in a short time, acceptance and approval of the social group, increase in interpersonal relationships, and attention and affection of family members. On the other hand, the damages attributed were deterioration of health, loss of physical and social functionality, negative psychological changes, activation of dysfunctional thoughts, impulsivity/aggressiveness and distrust of the family. The results provide theoretical support to the implementation of treatment strategies that emphasize the processes of construction of personal, contextual and functional meanings that are assigned to the behavior problems of the ED, in such a way that the motivational change in the patients is promoted.

Significados del amor e historias de infidelidad en parejas que inician un proceso de psicoterapia / Meanings of Love and Stories of Infidelity in Couples who Have Begun a Psychotherapeutic Process

Resumen Este artículo muestra los resultados del proyecto de investigación/intervención, denominado "Significados y Sentidos del amor en parejas con historias de infidelidad", realizado en la Universidad Santo Tomas de Bogotá (Colombia). Se realizó una apuesta por la comprensión de los significados del amor en parejas que han tenido engaños y desilusiones amorosas asociadas a infidelidades, y la intervención psicoterapéutica para la reorganización de versiones novedosas del amor, la infidelidad y el ser pareja desde una perspectiva sistémica constructivista, socio construccionista y compleja. En esta investigación, participaron dos parejas cuyo motivo de consulta se relaciona con la infidelidad, se desarrollaron 5 escenarios narrativos conversacionales con cada una de ellas, empleando dispositivos de intervención tales como: la construcción de historias, las esculturas y las metáforas. Los principales hallazgos reconocen relatos matizados de los conyugues, por imágenes idealizadas de la pareja generando sentimientos de culpabilidad, historias asociadas al silencio y sometimiento como forma de solucionar los conflictos, la deconstrucción de historias de infidelidad para reconstruir la trama narrativa de la pareja desde aspectos particulares que conectan a los enamorados, y el acontecimiento de infidelidad como posibilidad de cambio.

Abstract This article shows the results of the research/intervention project titled "Meanings and senses of love in couples with a history of infidelity", carried out in the Santo Tomas University of Bogotá (Colombia). An effort was made to understand the meanings of love in couples who have suffered from deceit and disappointment in love associated with infidelity, and who have received psychotherapeutic intervention for the configuration of new versions of love, infidelity, and being a couple from a systemic-constructivist, social-constructionist, and complex perspective. Two couples whose reason for consultation was related to infidelity participated in this research, and five conversational narrative scenarios were developed with both of them, using intervention devices such as the construction of stories, sculptures, and metaphors. The main findings show stories from the spouses that are nuanced through idealized images of the couple that generates feelings of guilt; stories associated with silence and submission as a means to resolve conflicts; the deconstruction of infidelity stories to reconstruct the couple's narrative plot based on particular aspects that connect the lovers; and the event of infidelity as a possibility for change.
