    A heterogeneidade do território português originou uma profusa manifestação de distintas formas arquitetónicas vernáculas, i.e., construções que se caracterizam por apresentarem uma estreita relação com as condições dos locais onde se encontram inseridas (clima, materiais, economia, cultura, etc.). As estratégias passivas de adaptação ao meio envolvente presentes nestas construções, caraterizadas pela simplicidade, funcionamento passivo e reduzido impacte ambiental, são particularmente relevantes para os desafios que a construção contemporânea enfrenta, permitindo a redução da dependência em energia de fontes não-renováveis. Neste artigo é apresentado um conjunto de estratégias solares passivas comuns na arquitetura vernácula da região da Beira Alta, com destaque para as varandas envidraçadas, e são avaliadas a condições de conforto térmico num caso de estudo. Do estudo, é possível afirmar que nos períodos analisados as condições de conforto térmico no edifício foram asseguradas apenas por meios passivos sem recurso a sistemas mecânicos de climatização

    Back in the Closet: A Queer-Modified Interpretive-Phenomenological Analysis of Gay Men Creating an Identity Through Clothing

    Get PDF
    How one dresses comprises their personal style, which subsequently informs one’s orientation to the world. Clothing is a global practice that demarcates our experience of self, others, and the world; and—as we are swathed in clothing since birth—those experiences are primarily split among gendered lines. Using Merleau-Ponty (2014/1945), I reconceptualize how clothing can be understood as inseparable from our body, and I use Deleuze and Guattari (1987/1980) to illustrate how clothing augments our embodied experience to produce a process of identification with our style. I also draw from queer theorists (Ahmed, 2006; Halberstam, 2011) to illustrate how we can disrupt and redefine normal productions of gender to adopt a genderfluid style, situated between masculine and feminine. In this dissertation, I adopt a qualitative methodology to extrapolate the ways in which a genderqueer style can offer the freedom to select from a multitude of gender presentations that offer more freedom and restructure our experience of self, others, and the world. I recruited three participants who identify as out-homosexual men that dress in a genderqueer fashion. I instructed them to keep a two-week journal with photographs and interactions that were influenced by how they dressed, and I followed up with a semi-structured interview (that was transcribed verbatim) about their experiences. The journals and interviews were analyzed using a modified interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA) outlined by Smith and Osborn (2008) with a queer focus to look at how clothing practices structure participants’ sense of embodiment, relationships, identity, and the world. Three to five themes emerged from the data provided by each participant with the conclusion that their style of dress becomes an aesthetic project to create a genderqueer identity. Their identity (as a creative act or art form) was informed by convergent themes of (1) struggles and fears of adopting a genderqueer style, (2) new locations and relationships, and (3) feelings of liberation form gender bifurcation. Individual divergent themes among the participants that affected the data included cultural conceptions of masculinity, transgender identity, and body type

    From philosophy to practice: A hermeneutic analysis of existential-phenomenological psychotherapy

    Get PDF
    A hermeneutic analysis utilizing interpersonal process recall was employed to clarify how two existential-phenomenological psychotherapists apply the philosophies upon which their work is based. Two sessions of therapists and clients engaged in existential-phenomenological psychotherapy in a private practice setting were the focus of the study. Therapist and patient retrospective accounts and the researcher\u27s observations regarding both sessions were analyzed via a hermeneutic method that entailed (1) explicating contextual information regarding the researcher and the sessions; (2) interpreting the therapists\u27 intentions and actions as well as the clients\u27 understandings of the sessions, and (3) integrating these results into a situated account of each session. Each situated account sought to articulate existential and phenomenological themes apparent in the sessions. Results indicated differences and similarities in the psychotherapeutic application of existential-phenomenological philosophies. Differences showed a distinction in terms of emphasis between existential-phenomenological and phenomenological-existential psychotherapy. Similarities suggested common elements across both approaches. Therapists were found to articulate similar existential and phenomenological philosophical concepts such as choice, freedom, responsibility, meaning, and finitude. Furthermore recall and in-session evidence indicated that these concepts were applied in such practices as the use of metaphor, addressing the client holistically, and facilitating the multidimensionality of the clients\u27 experience. Findings also indicated that the therapeutic effects of both sessions upon clients were similar in that clients became aware of and made connections between contrasting experiences, clients developed their understandings of the relationship between the physical and psychological, and clients found they had the freedom to make choices. The findings are compared to prior theoretical literature and quantitative process research, and discussed in terms of session content and therapeutic process
