SENTIDO DO TRABALHO E ORIENTAÇÃO PARA O TRABALHO: UM ESTUDO EM UNIVERSIDADES PÚBLICAS DE MINAS GERAIS E DO QUEBEC

Este estudo avalia a relação entre sentido do trabalho e a orientação para o trabalho de professores universitários de Minas Gerais e do Quebec e correlaciona estes resultados com questões de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho. A amostra foi constituída por 274 professores de Minas Gerais e 252 professores do Quebec. Os dados foram coletados através de um questionário online enviado, para 3 universidades públicas de Minas Gerais e 3 universidades do Quebec, no primeiro semestre de 2013. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre as médias de percepção dos dois grupos de professores para meu trabalho é um emprego e meu trabalho é um carreira. Com relação ao sentido do trabalho e sentido no trabalho observou-se que estes dois indicadores de qualidade de vida no trabalho estão diretamente relacionados com a orientação para a vocação profissional dos professores que participaram da pesquisa. Estes resultados podem orientar os gestores universitários a conduzirem ações que melhorem as condições do ambiente físico de trabalho e as relações de trabalho, pois são estes aspectos que ajudam a melhorar a qualidade de vida no trabalho e a dar mais sentido ao trabalho como um todo

The Fashion of the 1960s. A New Power Shaping the American Image

After WWII, the US emerged as a major world-economic and cultural power. At the same time, it was producing a specifically American fashion, reinventing itself and its image, and channeling the critics. With new styles and new economic forms emerging in the 1960s—as the US, eager to expand its mass consumerist model, pushed ready-to-wear, replacing European couture—American fashion became as a new power, intertwining economic and political, social, and cultural stakes. Thus, fashion helped design a dominant model of a wealthy, free, and seductive country, able to better itself, even though reality was still far from this idealized image

Commodities, the Visual and the Senses: Perfume Editorials in High-End Fashion Publications in the 1970s

From the early 1970s until well into the 1980s, there was a dramatic increase in the attention granted to images of perfume in the editorial photographic production of two famous U.S. fashion magazines, Vogue and Harper's Bazaar—both mainstream, well-structured publications, having established leadership in their field. The momentum of these images—staging olfactory products and visually evoking the feelings, sensations, and memories conjured up by their smell—results from new formal photographic research led, in part, to negotiate socio-cultural flux deeply destabilizing society at large and these high-end magazines in particular. The outcome is a distinguishable aesthetic. Now considered representative of the period, it ultimately proved efficient in helping to ease changes into fashion magazines, and in feeding their powerful, long-standing system of references all the while announcing the turn to an ever-expanding consumerism blooming in the 1980s. In this process, the undeniable power of attraction, and seduction of images and smell, was once more commodified, making it emblematic of an editorial visual system that is still topical today

Women in Magazines: Research, Representation, Production and Consumption, edited by social and women’s historians Rachel Ritchie, Sue Hawkins, Nicola Phillips & S. Jay Kleinberg, is somewhat of a “reader” on the program its title foreshadows, which is to study women in magazines, from various angles, during various periods of the 19th and 20th centuries and in various countries of the Western world. Because it offers several varied case studies enlightening how to use the press as a source in..
