Sexualidade, Amor e Cosmopolitismo no Programa Erasmus

Esta investiga����o pretende dar a conhecer as motiva����es que levam os estudantes a fazer Erasmus e o impacto que este assume na vida ��ntima. Numa abordagem qualitativa de car��cter explorat��rio pretende-se revelar as pr��ticas e representa����es afectivo-sexuais analisando os discursos dos participantes. Partindo do conceito de modernidade reflexiva (Giddens, Beck e Lash, 1997), o objectivo deste trabalho �� verificar o modo como a identidade, a sexualidade e o amor s��o exploradas na migra����o, e de que forma a individualiza����o, o capital social e a procura de cosmopolitismo influenciam o desenvolvimento individual. Definindo o Erasmus como um ponto de viragem volunt��rio na constru����o de uma biografia individual, identificam-se formas de viver a sexualidade e a afectividade dentro desta experi��ncia internacional e explora-se o significado que estas adquirem nas traject��rias individuais. A an��lise dos discursos das entrevistas permitiu identificar quatro tipos-ideais: Sexualidade Ausente, Sexualidade Suspensa, Sexualidade de Escape e Sexualidade Cosmopolita, que ilustram modos diversos de viver o Erasmus e diferen��as entre as pr��ticas e representa����es dos participantes. Na parte final deste trabalho, enunciam-se algumas quest��es relevantes a explorar em futuras investiga����es.

Unlimited or disrupted communication? How does the development of the mobile phone effect our ability of social action?

The aim of this essay is to discuss the thesis of the German Sociologist G��nter Burkhart that in modern societies a phenomenon appeared which he calls ���handymania���, an excessive and nearly addictive use of the mobile phones especially from adolescents. After a short overview about the history of the cell phone, I will relate this development to J��rgen Habermas ���theory of communicative action���, more precisely to his diagnosis of a pathological society (���lifeworld���) to find out if the ���handymania��� could be one expression of it. Adjacent I will present social-psychological theories from E.H.Erikson and Tilmann Habermas to ascertain whether juveniles could really be a high-risk group for this kind of addiction. I will focus on the ability to communicate in an Habermasian way that could be seriously harmed by the unregulated usage of cell phones.

Mental health and neuroscience. A perspective from the magazine market

Mental health awareness has been rising worldwide, motivated by its social and economic costs. Despite the investment in research in neuroscience in the recent years, little is known about the underlying mechanisms in the brain that are correlated with psychiatric conditions. This project, through two feature articles suitable to be published in magazines, provides perspectives onto mental health research. First it presents an example where psychiatry joins forces with neuroscience and computer science in an interdisciplinary effort to improve the life of those affected by mental disorders. The second article gathers opinions which claim that mental health research priorities should be set by patients themselves, or even that people with lived experience of mental health issues should have an active role in that research. This project was planned and researched while I was an Erasmus student at Nottingham Trent University, in the United Kingdom.
