▼ This dissertation examines and explores the assumptions and debates associated with qualitative synthesis within the health sciences. My particular area of interest is the complexities arising from various techniques of qualitative synthesis currently emerging in the field of qualitative systematic review. More specifically, in this study I sought to assess the impact of the choice of theoretical constructs, methodological frameworks or methods on the nature of the findings when undertaking a qualitative synthesis. My intention was to examine the debates and conjecture surrounding claims made in relation to meta ethnography and meta aggregation as underpinning approaches to the systematic review of qualitative evidence, as these have attracted interest and polarised the opinions made of their proponents. In order to achieve this a multi phase study was undertaken, where phase one included the identification of a high quality, published meta ethnographic review and the conduct of a comparator meta aggregative review. Phase two consisted of a comparison between the two reviews, with each phase necessarily consisting of sections that worked to clarify the steps and stages taken in the conduct and reporting of the research that formed the basis of this thesis. The primary results of interest from this process were not the findings of the meta ethnographic review compared with the meta aggregative review, but the subsequent analysis of where and how differences originated. Interpretivism is the catch phrase of meta ethnography, yet it is by no means clear what is meant either by the originators; or by subsequent reviewers who have used the methodology but not explicated its philosophic foundations. Interpretivism is not a unified theory, it is instead a broad church; inclusive of many philosophical perspectives, specifically hermeneutics, phenomenology and symbolic interactionism. The particular claims to interpretivism for ethnographic reviews was examined and found to be a superficial and inadequate representation of the methodology. Specifically, hermeneutic phenomenology has been found to be ontologically and epistemologically congruent with the methodology and methods of meta ethnography. It also became evident that the methods-centric focus of meta aggregation has limited wider understanding of the methodology, leading to an incorrect association with integration. This study maintains that the interpretive foundations of aggregative synthesis are found in Husserlian Transcendental Phenomenology. This study suggests that the approach and purpose are the first two key points of decisionmaking. Therefore, reviewers interested in undertaking qualitative synthesis should first consider what approach is a good fit with their purposes before deciding upon a methodology. Within the ‘interpretive philosophic’ perspective, the two core philosophies [of hermeneutic phenomenology (with fusion of horizons), and transcendental phenomenology] are where we must look to understand both the differences between meta aggregation and… Advisors/Committee Members: Pearson, Alan (advisor), The Joanna Briggs Institute (school).

▼ Evaluation of intervention programmes is essential to adduce evidential information on their implementation, delivery and effectiveness. Evaluation of programmes is conducted for various reasons: to identify provision of programme services and ways to improve the programme, to judge programme merit and to generate knowledge about programme functioning. Process evaluation explains the operation of the programme, service delivery and the utilisation of resources with a view to continuous improvement. However, process evaluation has been neglected despite the significant role it plays in the continuum of evaluation strategies. In South Africa, the poor performance of Grade 12 learners has led to the introduction of the Secondary School Intervention Programme (SSIP) to reduce the number of failures in the matriculation examination and improve the results, particularly in underperforming secondary schools. This study evaluated the delivery of the SSIP in the Tshwane West district through process evaluation using qualitative research methods. As part of the evaluation, relevant records and SSIP documents, which yielded information on the participating schools, learner attendance, the tutors and their qualifications were examined. During the course of the fieldwork, 10 lesson presentations were observed and 10 tutors were interviewed immediately thereafter. Ten learners, the Programme Coordinator and 3 site managers volunteered for interviews about the programme. Findings indicated the necessity of tutor training in the use of the programme materials and frequent assessment of learners to determine improvements in learner performance. The SSIP should focus not only on improving matriculation results but also on the education and professional development of educators. To enhance effective programme delivery, innovative and modern teaching resources, such as computers to access the internet and other technologies, should be introduced. Based on the findings, it was recommended that SSIP should not be confined to underperforming schools but should be extended to other schools as well. Learner feedback on strengths and weaknesses in the programme and how the latter can be remedied will contribute to programme improvement. Finally, this study reflects the need to adopt process evaluation as a significant component of evaluation and advocates further research conducted on other areas of evaluation.

▼ This study focused on the success stories of students after academic probation in order to explore, understand and describe their personal perceptions, perspectives and the meanings they ascribed to academic probation. I also hoped to gain insight into the success factors that enabled the students success after academic probation. Through these insights I hoped to add to our understanding of supporting students on academic probation. The conceptual framework for my study was based on the strength-based approach and Bean and Eaton’s psychological model of college student retention. I also explored literature on the experiences of students who encountered academic failure as part of framing and understanding of the students’ experiences. For the purposes of the aforementioned objectives I followed a qualitative research approach, anchored in an interpretivist paradigm. I collected data through a focus group interview with three participants. The participants were purposively selected on the basis that they themselves were placed on academic probation. With the permission of the participants the interview was tape-recorded, the recording was supported by a research field journal. Three core themes in the data were identified namely Psychological Processes, Institutional Support Structures and Personal Support Systems. These core themes were integrated with literature and further linked to sub-themes and related themes. The results of my study found that students were enabled by four psychological processes namely attitudes and behaviours, coping behaviours, an internal locus of control and high self-efficacy beliefs to succeed. Institutional structures, including the policy on academic probation, played a crucial role in supporting the students to succeed, and it was because of personal support structures such as family and friends that students had the courage to return to their studies and make a good effort at succeeding. As a conclusion, this study suggested that it is possible for students to rise above academic probation and persist towards academic achievement and to have positive experiences which enable them to complete their studies.

▼ This thesis explores green consumption practices among young environmentalists in an Australian city. It argues that subjective experiences and socially constructed symbolic meanings of green consumption practices explain how and why young environmentalists engage in green consumption practices in connection with the emerging green consumer movement. This thesis aims to extend theoretical underpinnings of green consumption by postulating a theoretical framework of symbolic meanings of green consumption practices. This framework is built on an investigation of what consumers do when they engage in green consumption as opposed to antecedents of intentional green consumption. The main research problem was articulated as: In relation to the emerging green consumer movement, what symbolic meanings of green consumption practices are shared among young environmentalists in Australia? Symbolic meanings of green consumption were investigated by adopting an interpretive approach and using photo-elicited in-depth interviews with young environmentalists. A skeletal theoretical framework guided the investigation, which was built on several sensitising concepts including meanings of green consumption, ways of engaging in green consumption practices, consumer identity expressions, and social connections and differentiations through engaging in green consumption practices. The postulated theoretical framework of the thesis is built on several thematic categories: 1) green consumption seen as keeping an eye on producers and sellers, 2) “naturally greened” personal habits, 3) emotional affiliations with green procurements, 4) green prosumers to replace commodities, 5) empowered and shared consumption: signs of the connection with the emerging green consumer movement, challenging the dominant social paradigm, 6) redefined environmental paradigm, 7) unperceived local risk of climate change, and 8) I, we, and others in the emerging green consumer movement. This thesis concludes that the meanings of green consumption practices among young environmentalists are built on having needed to disassociate from the dominant market systems and mainstream consumer practices of presumably green-ignorant mainstream consumers. The young environmentalists seek alternative and enjoyable means of consumption while taking part in the emerging green consumer movement. Positive connotations seem to be more prominent among the environmentalists’ green consumption practices than negative connotations such as limiting, restricting or controlling consumption or imminent, local danger of climate change. This leads to the formation and expression of green consumer identities through social connections and differentiations. This thesis has potential implications for developing theoretical underpinnings and methodological approaches of green consumption, designing promotional campaigns of green consumption practices among young…

▼ ABSTRACT Providing equitable learning opportunities for all students has been a persistent issue for some time. This is evident by the science achievement gap that still exists between male and female students as well as between White and many non-White student populations (NCES, 2007, 2009, 2009b) and an underrepresentation of female, African-American, Hispanic, and Native Americans in many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related careers (NCES, 2009b). In addition to gender and ethnicity, socioeconomic status and linguistic differences are also factors that can marginalize students in the science classroom. One factor attributed to the achievement gap and low participation in STEM career is equitable access to resources including textbooks, laboratory equipment, qualified science teachers, and type of instruction. Extensive literature supports authentic science as one way of improving science learning. However, the majority of students do not have access to this type of resource. Additionally, extensive literature posits that culturally relevant pedagogy is one way of improving education. This study examines students' participation in an authentic science experience and argues that this is one way of providing culturally relevant pedagogy in science classrooms. The purpose of this study was to better understand how marginalized students were affected by their participation in an authentic science experience, within the context of an algae biofuel project. Accordingly, an interpretivist approach was taken. Data were collected from pre/post surveys and tests, semi-structured interviews, student journals, and classroom observations. Data analysis used a mixed methods approach. The data from this study were analyzed to better understand whether students perceived the experience to be one of authentic science, as well as how students science identities, perceptions about who can do science, attitudes toward science, and learning of science practices were affected by participation in an authentic science experience. Findings indicated that participation in an authentic science experience has a positive effect on science identities, scientist perceptions, science attitudes, and learning of science and is one approach to mitigating the effects of marginalization in the science classroom. Additional findings indicated that a relationship between the authenticity of the experience and the outcomes (science identity, perceptions about who can do science, science attitudes, and learning of science). This study provides empirical evidence to support authentic science learning as a means of improving students' learning, attitudes, and identities with respect to science. This study endorses authentic science experiences for all students, marginalized included. This has implications for how we prepare future and support current science teachers. In addition, this study shows how this model can be used to effectively implement science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Bakgrund: Redovisning syftar till att ge en historisk bild av en organisation – ett företag eller en koncern. Skillnaden mellan den bild som baserar sig på redovisningsprinciper (och regler) och en bild, vilken som helst, är jämförbarheten. Goodwillned-skrivningar skapar problem med just jämförbarheten. Det skäl som anges baserar sig på regler stipulerade i IFRS. Skälen som koncerner anger är i sin tur naturligtvis motiverade mer eller mindre väl med utgångspunkt i IFRS men dessa regler innehåller en betydande rymlighet som kan beskrivas i termer av godtycke. Den här uppsatsen undersöker denna rymlighet i termer av regleringen och skälen för nedskrivning som ingen undersökning hittills orienterat sig mot. Syfte: Den här undersökningen syftar till att förtydliga strukturer i skälen till goodwill-nedskivningar som ett exempel på strukturer mellan explicita skäl och regler och underliggande (implicita) tillämpningar och normer. Metod: Metoden som användes var facktextanalys. Företagen i studien är valda utifrån kriterier som är energi- och råvaruföretag, börsnoterade på stockholmsbörsen (NASDAQ OMX Nordic). Resultat: Resultaten redovisas i en tabell där man kan se tendenser. En tendens är att företagen har ett behov av att förklara och försvara sitt agerande. En annan är på normnivån, att man gärna vill vara rationell och ärlig. Det som vidare framträder är ett möjligt samband mellan den explicit formulerade regeln (IFRS) och de skäl som anges. Men detta samband är inte entydigt. Slutsats: Goodwillnedskrivningar förefaller vara svagt institutionaliserat. Godtycket (öppenheten) tycks vara det centrala som bäst förklarar det empirin visat. De skäl som koncernerna ger kopplar inte entydigt till reglerna, istället tycks det som om det finns ett betydande utrymme (godtycke) att utforma en praktisk redovisningsmodell när det gäller nedskrivningarna.

Background: The aim of accounting is to provide a historical view of an organization – a company or concern. The difference between the view that is based on accounting principles (and rules) and a view, any view, is comparability. Goodwill impairment causes a problem with precisely this comparability. The reasons given are based on rules stipulated in IFRS. The reasons that a concerns use are, in turn, motivated more or less well on the basis of IFRS but these rules contain a considerable spaciousness thus the use is arbitrary. This thesis examines the spaciousness in terms of regulation and the reasons for impairment as no study so far has studied this. Aim: This study aims to clarify the structures in the reasons for goodwill impairment as an example of the structures of explicit reasons and rules and implicit applications of standards Method: The method used was specialized text analysis. Concerns in the study are selected based on specific criteria. These concerns are…

▼ The primary aim of this study was to explore the manner in which contextual factors influence the implementation of HIV&AIDS programmes in schools, by investigating the lived-experiences of teachers who were responsible for the implementation of such programmes. The findings of this study mainly add to the vast body of knowledge on the implementation of the school’s curriculum. In addition to this, the study highlights the manner in which educational policy can become a workable instrument by setting parameters for the development of an HIV&AIDS school policy, and for effective implementation of an HIV&AIDS programmes in schools. Furthermore, this study will contribute to addressing the barriers that negatively influence HIV&AIDS programme delivery in schools. Another outcome of this study could be the possible improvement of the training of teachers and curriculum developers. The conceptual framework of the study dealt with the following: a description of the HIV&AIDS pandemic (as a background), the impact of the pandemic in the South African context, expectations and responsibilities of schools and teachers with regard to the implementation of HIV&AIDS programmes, and theories that underpin behaviour change, and form the basis of HIV&AIDS prevention programmes. The important role of the school as a societal agent, and its important role in the prevention of HIV&AIDS infection, emerged clearly in this study. The study was conducted according to a qualitative research approach, guided by the interpretivist and constructivist epistemologies. An instrumental case study design was utilised, during which semi-structured interviews, as the main data collection strategy, were conducted with purposively selected participants from three schools (cases). The individual semi-structured interviews were supplemented with observations, a reflective journal and visual data collection and documentation strategies. Four prominent themes emerged subsequent to an inductive data analysis that was done, namely: teachers’ perceptions and experiences of the HIV&AIDS programme, managerial factors in the school, societal and community influences, and HIV&AIDS as a topic in the school subject Life Orientation. These identified and structured themes broadly categorised the empirical findings that were related to the primary and secondary questions of this study. Although the implementation of HIV&AIDS programmes in schools was made compulsory, the study indicated that schools were not adhering to this requirement, due to factors such as a lack of sound management practices in schools, insufficient training of teachers and school managers, uninvolved stakeholders, and the lived-experiences of teachers with regard to the HIV&AIDS programme. Based on the findings of this study, recommendations were made with regard to the role that the Department of Education, school management, teachers and the community can fulfil, in order to improve the implementation of HIV&AIDS programmes in schools. This study also provides a suggested framework for… Advisors/Committee Members: Prof L van Rooyen (advisor).

▼ This study investigates how youth in Uganda experience televised HIV and AIDS educational programmes. Television is the medium that can be used to address the resurgence of HIV and AIDS in Uganda. The factors responsible for the resurgence include prevention fatigue and the saturation of HIV and AIDS messages in the media. The audio-visual component of television makes it possible to convey HIV and AIDS messages innovatively through education-entertainment. Despite its potential, television has not played a leading role in conveying HIV-related knowledge, skills, and attitudes to urban youths. The study required looking at the televised HIV and AIDS educational programmes from the perspective of young people. In line with the interpretivist and social constructivist framework, the primary source of information about the programmes is the experiences of young people who are the target audience. A qualitative research approach was used in the study and an instrumental case design in particular was employed in data collection. Data were collected through focus group discussions, personal interviews, document analyses and participant observations. Findings have revealed that young people can learn about HIV and AIDS from both educational programmes and television soaps. While they undergo sexual socialisation through television soaps, they have the capacity to distinguish between fiction, fantasy and reality. However, they dislike the didactic and authoritarian approaches that are used in the educational programmes. An important finding is that communication gaps characterise televised HIV and AIDS educational programmes. Some of the prevention messages and the values propagated by television HIV and AIDS education are detached from the experiences and world views of the youths. This could be attributed to insufficient knowledge on the part of HIV and AIDS educators regarding the way in which youth experience televised HIV and AIDS programmes.

▼ Balancing the work and family domains is an ongoing concern for men and women in dual-earner relationships. However, most of the research studies that have explored work-family balance, have been conducted within the North American context using highly educated middle-class couples. Furthermore, no known South African studies have explored work-family balance experiences and strategies based on the couple as a unit. The aim of this study is therefore to understand how middle-class South African dual-earner couples experience and pursue work-family balance. A sample comprising ten multi-racial, middle-class, heterosexual dual-earner couples with children, who work in different employment sectors, and reside in Cape Town, South Africa, were selected purposefully through the use of convenience and snow-ball sampling techniques. The interpretive approach located within the qualitative paradigm was employed to understand the subjective experiences of couples through the method of semi-structured conjoint interviews. All conjoint interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed for later analysis. Patterns and themes within the data were identified using thematic analysis and later organised through the use of thematic networks. Two organising themes were uncovered for the global theme "subjective experiences of work-family balance amongst dual-earner couples", namely that work-family balance is a unique experience, and that work-family balance is a dynamic process. Furthermore, the data analysis revealed ten organising themes for the global theme "strategies dual-earner couples use to pursue a work-family balance", namely that striving towards an egalitarian marital relationship helps to promote couples' experience of work-family balance; proactively structuring opportunities for time with family contributes to a balanced work and family life; accessing familial and paid support promotes feelings of being successful in balancing work and family roles; shared planning and organisation facilitates a better balance of work and family roles; living within means relieves couples of unnecessary financial stress; creating opportunities for "alone time" supports couples' work-family balance; work validation and satisfaction encourages greater experiences ofwork-family balance; having the ability to control one's schedule ensures greater freedom to transition between work and family domains; setting boundaries around work and family domains helps couples maintain their balance; and relying on faith to cope with work and family stressors leads to a more balanced life. Each organising theme contained several basic themes which were discussed in relation to previous literature and/or research studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Livingston, Jacques (advisor).

▼ This study is grounded in a desire to describe and understand the positioning of eHealth within the health policy process. Policies and politics are intertwined (Corbitt, 1995). The current literature on health policy analysis suggested the problem of how to conceptualize power and relate power to notions like discourse and how to integrate these ideas of power into a conceptual framework for policy analysis. The current literature on power and politics in Information Systems (IS) deployments have drawn on limited conceptual resources to understand IS as artifacts, and power as a definable (and often manageable) entity, in ascribing IS a political role. This thesis questions the power relations that constitute the health policy process and those that are constituted by the health policy process. The research interprets health policy initiatives within the broader political and ideological context in which it is occurring. This study focuses on the discursive nature of health policy, and how various practices and techniques are implicated in governing the interpretation of policy intentions and behaviors to act in relation to policy. Of particular interest in this study are the discursive spaces for action within which acts of power and resistance can unfold. This study aims to illustrate that the critical interpretive perspective (Doolin and McLeod 2005) applied to an understanding of health policy as a process constituent of power relations, a process involved in governance and advocacy tied to polity, knowledge and intervention can contribute to an understanding of the mobilization of authority and the impact this has on interpretation of policy intentions. This thesis argues that policy contexts create new discursive spaces for action, spaces which provide opportunities to maneuver allowing for framing of issues or resisting practice change. It suggests that the political landscape of action is made apparent within these spaces, and further that information systems become the medium through which the legitimacy of professional and corporate control mechanisms are contested. This thesis argues that renegotiated health information systems illuminate the reform ideas which have diffused into practice and those that have been delayed at a point in time.

In conducting my research I assessed one adolescent’s selfesteem by means of quantitative and qualitative measures and identified potential aspects that might require intervention, related to self-esteem. After the initial assessment, Sandplay psychotherapy was implemented as intervention, after which the participant’s self-esteem was re-assessed, comparing the results with those obtained during the initial assessment (baseline data). For the purpose of my study, I fulfilled the role of researcher, involving an intern educational psychologist in assessing the participant and conducting the intervention, thereby fulfilling the role of therapist. I followed a triangulation mixed methods intervention research approach, primarily relying on the interpretivist paradigm yet being informed and elaborated upon by a post-positivist component. I studied a single clinical case situated within the context of psychotherapy outcome research. This enabled me to draw conclusions on how suitable and helpful Sandplay psychotherapy might be (or not) for an adolescent who presented with poor self-esteem. In collecting quantitative data, I employed the Self-Esteem Index (Brown&Alexander, 1991) both prior to and after the intervention had been completed. In support, a qualitative post-modern assessment was included in the form of the Rosebush technique (Oaklander, 1988). Other qualitative data collection and documentation measures include observations, semi-structured interviews (with the participant and her parents), photographs of the sand trays and a semi-structured reflection journal (of the participant), as well as reflection journals of the researcher and therapist. Based on the pre- and post-assessments I was able to compare results of the participant’s self-esteem before and after the Sandplay psychotherapy intervention had been completed. Subsequent to thematic qualitative data analysis and my comparison of the quantitative results I obtained, three main themes emerged. Firstly, the self-esteem of the participant seemed to have improved following the intervention, since her limited self-knowledge, feelings of inferiority and her uncertainty in unknown situations seemingly changed into age-appropriate self-knowledge, feelings of self-worth and facing the unknown. Secondly, she displayed changes in the emotional domain of development post-intervention. She seemed more content with her situation, reportedly feeling more safe and secure as opposed to feeling academically pressured, as was the case at the onset of my study, and having a positive future perspective. Thirdly, changes in her social domain of development occurred as she displayed age-appropriate skills, acted more assertively and felt more accepted and ready to establish relationships. Based on the findings of my study, I can conclude that it seems possible to facilitate the improvement of adolescents’ self-esteem by… Advisors/Committee Members: Dr R Ferreira (advisor), Dr K Mohangi (advisor).

▼ An adolescent’s subjective experiences of mindfulness were explored in a single case study of a 17-year-old female. Data were created by means of “mindfulness sessions”, unstructured interviews, creative expression, journals and field notes. The data were analysed and interpreted using a combination of typological and interpretive analysis strategies. Findings are presented within a conceptual framework of mindfulness derived by the author from the literature review. The conceptual framework includes the following five “dimensions” of mindfulness: ‘present-centered attention and awareness’, ‘attitude and heart qualities’, ‘self-regulation’, ‘universalism of mindfulness’, and ‘mindlessness’. The adolescent’s subjective experiences of each dimension of mindfulness are presented in terms of the primary and secondary themes that emerged from the data. Emerging themes include being task-oriented, experiencing greater external than internal awareness, and enhanced sensory experiences, in terms of present-centered attention and awareness in mindfulness. In terms of the ‘attitude and heart qualities’ dimension of mindfulness, the participant experienced the themes of perfectionism and “letting go”, and an increased intention to practice mindfulness. The study found that the participant experienced self-regulation of attention in mindfulness as interest-driven, needing silence, requiring effort, and improved with awareness. The participant experienced a greater awareness of mindlessness, as well as the themes of mindfulness being applicable to everyday life, and an initial conflict as to the place of mindfulness in the contexts of science and religion. Overall findings suggest firstly that the participant subjectively experienced mindfulness as being predominantly task-oriented. Secondly, it appears that the participant experienced personal growth and development in terms of her understanding and practice of mindfulness. These findings could make a potential contribution towards qualitative research on mindfulness, and research on how mindfulness could possibly apply to an adolescent. Studies have shown mindfulness to be a potentially promising intervention and quality to be cultivated in the development of well-being. This study is thus significant in the context of positive psychology and a move towards more holistic health and well-being. Copyright Advisors/Committee Members: Dr Carien Lubbe-De Beer (advisor).

▼ Many stories of the development of political theory in the Anglo-American world in the 20th C could be told to involve many different actors, events, and ideas. This dissertation tells a story that centers on the development of modern liberalism by locating within it the development of the ideas of Charles Taylor (1931-). Taylor's writings on the study of human behavior, the relationship between selfhood and morality, the contemporary relevance of German Romantic philosophy, and the need for advocating multiculturalism and democracy in politics have captured the major debates internal to these fields and have earned him wide recognition as a leading philosopher of our times. By making clear how his arguments about human agency and knowledge form the basis of how social practices should be understood for the strong values they embody, this project shows how the connections between his philosophy of social sciences and his writings on morality and politics constitute a highly salient defense of interpretivism and humanist liberalism for our times. This dissertation brings to light a range of problems, themes, and arguments that mark an "interpretive turn" in philosophy and across the sciences that helped to shape political theory in the Anglo-American context in the 20th C, and explains the ways in which some of those 20th C concerns continue to be of especial importance for political theorists today. Since the demise of logical positivism and the rise of critical forms of thought that render suspect the means for rational debate over normative claims or for discourse without domination, the central project of political theory in the 20th C has been to grapple with what makes for satisfactory ways of understanding social actions and meanings. The last century saw key shifts in ways of thinking where previous philosophical concerns about the possibility, nature, and foundations of knowledge, and preoccupations with the structure of language and the analysis of meaning gave way to greater interest in and new controversies over questions about interpretation: the role of interpretation in human life, the kinds of knowledge to which interpretation gives rise, what interpretative practices presuppose about the knowing subject and the subject matter, and how to judge between interpretive successes and failures. Such questions not only augured epistemological problems for the human sciences, but doubts about established notions of science, truth, and objectivity also bespoke of impediments to comprehensive reflection across cultural, traditional, or linguistic lines, and to the pursuit of rational debate over values. Perceived failures within philosophy combined with lessons drawn from the hermeneutic tradition as well as developments in the interpretive disciplines of historiography, philosophy of science, jurisprudence, cultural studies, and literary criticism served to challenge all forms of foundationalism - epistemological, moral, and cultural, and have redrawn traditional boundaries of knowledge across…

▼ Previous research indicates that gay men‟s relationships with their mothers are generally more warm, supportive, and emotional than their relationships with their fathers, and that fathers are less likely to be told, less likely to be told first, and more likely to react negatively to disclosure than mothers would. Most of these findings are derived from asking sons to report on their parental relationships. As such, very little is known about the nature of the father-son relationship before, during, and after disclosure, from the father‟s perspective. The aim of this thesis, therefore, is to uncover and explore first-hand accounts of the experiences and taken-for-granted meanings that potentially shape heterosexual fathers‟ relationships with their gay sons. A sample comprising six Afrikaans-speaking, white fathers, between the ages of 53 and 61 years, from a middle to upper-middle income bracket, and residing in Gauteng, South Africa, were selected purposively through the use of opportunistic or convenience sampling. Utilising an interpretivist approach located within the qualitative research paradigm, an individual in-depth interview strategy was adopted as a means of gathering data. A brief questionnaire probing demographic characteristics was also utilised to further contextualise the data obtained in the interviews. All the interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed for later coding and analysis. Through the use of thematic network analysis, eight organising themes were uncovered, including (a) subliminal awareness prior to coming out; (b) epistemic rupture of internal system of beliefs; (c) personal paradigmatic shifts; (d) acceptance as a complex and ongoing dialectical and reconciliatory process; (e) ambiguous loss; (f) persistent history of thought; (f) wrestling with the reason why; and (g) coming out as a dual experience. Each organising theme contained several basic themes. On the whole, the themes support the view that most parents are neither totally rejecting nor fully accepting of their gay sons. The fathers are seen to navigate their way through a plethora of experiences and meanings that are not only likely to inform the development of their multidimensional identities as men and fathers, but also shape their unique relationships with their gay sons. While the fathers may have attained a level of “loving denial” in their relationships with their gay sons, most continue to struggle with the meaning and expression of same-sex sexuality, and appear to wrestle with the challenge of integrating their understanding of same-sex sexuality with their constructions of traditional Afrikaner masculinity, as well as their meanings associated with having a gay son. However, unlike prior reports of a poor father-son dyad, the fathers reported a general improvement in their relationship with their gay son after he came out. This discrepancy may be attributed to the possibility that the particular group of fathers who volunteered to discuss their father-son relationships willingly were further along in the… Advisors/Committee Members: Fourie, Eduard (advisor).

▼ Recently Alan Andreasen (2003) argued that social marketing is in the 'growth phase' of development following four decades of research and practice. During this same time period, marketing has also witnessed new theoretical ideas and practices that have evolved from the influence of new interactive technologies such as the internet. Only limited scholarly work however has been undertaken to draw these marketing sub-disciplinary areas together. The research undertaken in this thesis bridges this gap and explores the role of the internet as means to further extend social marketing theory and practice. Three research questions informed the study. The first of these questions focused on how internet users describe their experiences of the internet as an everyday technology. The second question investigated the different profiles of internet users' opinions, attitudes and actions, and the third question examined how social marketing can be more responsive to internet user behaviour. To address these research questions the research design used both qualitative methods of focus groups and in-depth interviews together with Q methodology to quantitatively represent the structure and form of individual users' subjective disposition towards the internet. Although Q methodology is relatively absent from marketing literature, it was a useful method for identifying types of people with similar experiences and views of the advantages and disadvantages of internet interactions and relationships. The research process in the study was operationalised using a three-study design. The first study drew on sixteen interviews and two focus groups with internet users, the second study involved Q sorting with thirty-two internet users, and the third study engaged interviews with twenty social change agents. This study of internet users is embedded in a particular theoretical and epistemological position. Three issues are relevant. First, a social constructionist epistemology is engaged. This emphasises that technology is a social process, patterned by the condition of its creation and use, and informed by human choices and actions. Second, the research is situated across disciplinary boundaries. Marketing practitioners initially adopted a commercial, albeit simplistic, lens when considering the value of social aspects, such as virtual communities and the social networks of connection that link internet users into longer term relationships and exchanges of knowledge, emotion and shared confidences online. However, the intangible non-material resources shared between customers, organisations and other users online are of import to understanding the value of the internet for social marketing strategy. This required looking beyond the social marketing theory and research, to the literature on the sociology of technology. The third way in which this research is different epistemologically and theoretically is in its interpretive focus. Accordingly, the thesis contributes to the shift in academic focus towards critical marketing, which…

Политичке науке - Међународне студије / Political science (international relations)

У дисертацији се полази од претпоставке да суштински различите интерпретације рата (1992-1995) у послератној БиХ условљавају конструкцију међусобно искључивих идентитета њених конститутивних народа. Тако конструисани идентитети временом се структурализују, те постају непропустљиви према неетничким политикама. С друге стране, етнополитике које ова структурна селективност подстиче, повратно ојачавају доминантне конструкције идентитета и репродукују постојеће односе моћи. Тако се политичка криза и друштевни расцепи одржавају у целокупном послератном периоду, што кандидује „дејтонску“ БиХ за случај сукоба дугог трајања. Теоријски део дисертације обухвата расправу о теоријама људских потреба и вези идентитета, као једне од кључних људских потреба, са политичким елитама, њиховим политикама и стратегијама. Тиме се жели допринети разумевању идентитета као политичког ресурса и инструмента политичког владања, тј. управљања становништвом. У ту сврху користи се литература која углавном припада међународним односима и студијама мира, пре свега радови Џона Бартона и Едварда Азара. Методолошки приступ је интерпретативистички, кључна метода је анализа дискурса, а јединица анализе је говорни чин, став припадника трију етнополитичких елита у БиХ. Емпиријски предмет анализе су дискурси и праксе бошњачке, српске и хрвaтске политичке елите, односно њихови идентитетски садржаји, који се првенствено тичу тема рата, жртве и државе. Предмет је просторно ограничен на територију БиХ, али обухвата и изјаве представника Србије и Хрватске, док се у временском смислу односи на период између 2012. и 2019. године. Главни закључак дисертације је да интерпретације рата и међусобно конституисани идентитети у послератној БиХ творе ситуацију познату као „наставак рата другим средствима“, што претвара БиХ у сукоб дугог трајања. Но, то не чини БиХ изузетком, већ делом међународних тенденција

A dissertação visa expor a tese de Ronald Dworkin que veio a ser conhecida como interpretativismo, segundo a qual o direito é uma prática interpretativa. O objetivo principal é entender a contribuição metodológica que essa tese representa para o entendimento teórico do direito e qual seu argumento contra teorias do direito meramente descritivas. Para localizar a contribuição de Dworkin, são apresentadas, em primeiro lugar, as inovações metodológicas que surgem na obra seminal de Herbert Hart, O Conceito de Direito. A ideia chave que passa a ser discutida a partir dessa obra é a de ponto de vista interno. É considerada uma tese segundo a qual o próprio Hart teria plantado as sementes do interpretativismo. A teoria de Dworkin é então apresentada como uma teoria que, inicialmente, preocupa-se em entender a controvérsia no direito. Para isso, ela se vale de do argumento dos desacordos teóricos e do argumento relacionado do ferrão semântico. Esses argumentos revelam uma característica política da prática jurídica que o positivismo analítico desconsiderou, ao tentar entender essa prática apenas por meio da abordagem da filosofia da linguagem. Ao interpretativismo é contraposto então o desafio proposto por uma teoria positivista contemporânea, a qual, ainda que não discorde do caráter normativo da prática, pretende defender o descritivismo na teoria. Por fim, como resposta a esse desafio, é apresentada a formulação mais recente do interpretativismo, a partir das obras de Dworkin Justiça de Toga e Justice for Hedgehogs. Nessas obras, estão formulados de maneira definitiva dois argumentos que são a chave para o entendimento da teoria interpretativa de Dworkin: o argumento sobre caráter controverso da prática jurídica e a indisponibilidade de explicações criteriais, e o argumento sobre a impossibilidade de realização de teorias arquimedianas (externas). A conclusão do trabalho é apresentada em forma de uma agenda de pesquisas para a teoria do direito e também para a sociologia jurídica, agenda esta que decorre da adoção da teoria interpretativista como a maneira mais adequada de enxergar a prática jurídica.

The dissertation aims to expose the Ronald Dworkins thesis that has come to be known as interpretivism, according to which the law is an ïnterpretive practice\". The main objective is to understand the methodological contribution that this thesis represents to the theoretical understanding of the law, and the argument it offers against merely descriptive theories of law. To locate the contribution of Dworkin\'s theory, the dissertation presents, first, the methodological innovations that arise in the seminal work of Herbert Hart, The Concept of Law. The key idea that starts being discussed is that of the internal point of view. It is considered an argument that Hart himself would have \"planted the seedsöf Dworkins interpretivism. Dworkin\'s theory is then presented as a theory that is initially concerned to understand the controversy in the practice of law. For that, it relies on the argument of theoretical…
