Condições, processo e experiência do encarceramento feminino: uma pesquisa de campo na penitenciária feminina do paraná

Abstract: RESUMO O presente artigo e resultado de uma pesquisa de campo sobre as condicoes, o processo e a experiencia do encarceramento, na Penitenciaria Feminina do Parana, localizada no municipio de Piraquara. A dinâmica geral da “casa” foi analisada por meio de pesquisa basica, qualitativa, exploratoria e descritiva. As conclusoes indicam que, ainda que o carcere gere consequencias negativas nas apenadas, alguns fatores, como uma boa gestao prisional e a ausencia de superlotacao, podem contribuir para minimizar esses efeitos e proporcionar uma punicao legalmente adequada. A partir de um paralelo sobre exercicio da punicao de homens e mulheres, a pesquisa tambem evidenciou que as apenadas nao podem, de forma alguma, receber o mesmo tratamento dispensado ao homem encarcerado, considerando suas particularidades de comportamento, genero, sentimentos, personalidade e sexo. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Pena, Execucao, Penitenciaria, Regime fechado, Mulheres. ABSTRACT This paper results from a fieldwork on the incarceration’s conditions, process and experience at the Penitenciaria Feminina do Parana, located at the county of Piraquara (PR, Brazil). The general dynamics of the “house” was analyzed through a basic, qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research. Our conclusions suggest that, although prison produces negative consequences for the inmates, a few elements, such as a good prison administration and the absence of overcrowding, may contribute to minimize these effects and to provide a legally appropriate punishment. Drawing a parallel between the exercise of punishment of male and female prisoners, this investigation also evidenced that it’s not possible to render to convicted women the treatment provided to imprisoned men, considering women’s behavior, gender, feelings, personality and sex particularities. KEYWORDS : Penalty; Execution; Penitentiary; Closed Regime; Women.

Use of Information Technology in Mandatory Settings: A Proposal for an Objective View of Appropriation

Abstract: Organizations invest in information technology (IT) looking for positive results that can only be produced if the technology is effectively used by individuals. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) applies a simple and quantitative model to predict intention of use, but it has difficulties to keep its explanatory power when analyzing implementation in mandatory settings (which are usual in business organizations). The more interpretive and constructivist approaches of Social Construction of Technology (SCOT) and Adaptive Structuration Theory (AST) propose interesting concepts technological frame and appropriation – to qualitatively analyze the complex process of IT use as socially constructed. This research proposes the application of the main concepts of SCOT and AST in an objective causal model to analyze the appropriation of IT and its effects on the outcomes in organizational mandatory settings. We expect to contribute to appropriation theory and to the practice of IT implementation in the field.
