A constru����o de modelos situacionais no padr��o discursivo narrativa em quadrinhos

The object of this study is the construction of situation models in the discourse pattern comic book narrative, and sits in the field of Cognitive Linguistics. Its main foundations are the notions of embodied mind (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 1999), mental simulation (BARSALOU, 1999), discourse pattern (DUQUE; COSTA, 2012) and situation models (ZWAAN, 1999). I stem from the hypothesis that the process of meaning construction in narratives is attached to the simulation of space, of time and of the characters goals and actions within the story world, dimensions which make up the situation models elaborated by the reader. The simulation of these experiences during discourse processing originates from the fact of it having an embodied and cultural basis, i.e., upon being confronted with the clues found in the narrative, the cognitive structures that make up the reader s personal and social memories are triggered and make it possible to activate information which in turn refer to his/her physical and social experiences, built up in the environment in which he/she lives. As regards comic book narratives, the construction of situation models is closely related to the recurring activation of certain cognitive structures originating from graphic resources that are typical of that discourse pattern. These conclusions were drawn from the data analysis taken from the work Palestina (SACCO, 2003; 2004; 2011)

O reino encantado do sert��o: uma crítica da produ����o e do fechamento da representa����o do sert��o no romance de Ariano Suassuna

Based on the relation history, literature and space, this work examines the production and the closing of the representation of the hinterland in the Romance d A Pedra do Reino of the paraiban writer Ariano Suassuna. Inspired by method proposed by deconstructionist by Jacques Derrida, our reflection decomposes the writing scene of Suassuna by means of it s tracks to interpret the operation of the representation of the space-hinterland for the speech of the writer. Being thus, we present the elements chosen for Suassuna to weave an identification it s with this space-hinterland, taking a priori as a sentimental place and of familiar origin . The construction of this relation of belonging in great is measured grounded for a familiar memory entangled in the context politician who culminated in the Revolution of 1930 and that he resulted for the writer in the death of father. Suassuna launches a look on the identity and the Brazilian culture that guided in the tradition concept it searchs to deny the gift grounding its speech in the return to the past, a past order . Specifically in it s romance we notice to exist the fusing of these tracks in the production of a representation of the hinterland that it intends to close a concept of this space and its culture. Soon, the idea of kingdom sends to the space of the enchantments manufactured in infancy and retaken by the intellectual radical who in the anxiety of honor the father figure, does not save efforts in constructing a space representation that, over all, either faithful the representation that it searchs to trace of proper itself. Under one it marks of universality , the hinterland-kingdom of Suassuna if discloses eurocentric in the measure where it perpetuates discurse the filiation of the European cultural traditions.

Contando histórias de cuidado �� inf��ncia em unidade de terapia intensiva pedi��trica

The tales of children's literature, in their plots, mark existential dilemmas belonging in human‟s lives, such as death, situations of separation, loss, abandonment, fear, challenges, achievements and other elements that make them suitable material to assist children in their developmental process. Such elements, present in children‟s storybooks, are close to the experiences lived by the children in the context of hospitalization in a special manner. With that said this study focus on the understanding of the therapeutic possibilities of the tales of children's literature in the care of hospitalized children in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (UTIPED) based on the Heidegger's concept of Care and adopting the Phenomenology as the method. The UTIPED of a state public hospital located in the municipality of Natal/RN was elected as the study site and four hospitalized children aged between six and nine years, all males, presenting different clinical conditions were selected to participate in the study following age and clinical conditions as the selective criteria. The procedure of corpus construction included eight individual sessions of storytelling accompanied by the use of ludic resources. The phenomenological understanding about the therapeutic possibilities of tales was structured under three main elements: (1) the ludic axis; (2) the reflective axis; and (3) the affective axis. The appropriateness of the proposed therapy in the context of the UTIPED and the potential of the tales as a protection factor to the child was evident. The storytelling activity framed a scenario of care unusual in the context of intensive care units, establishing a symbolic space for children‟s expression. Therefore, this study indicates this therapeutic proposal for children‟s care in the UTIPED that considers their evolutionary stage, their clinical conditions at the time and especially their emotional needs during their immersion in a diverse and foreign environment which is filled with potentially harmful elements to their full development.

Histórias de vida de mulheres idosas :um estudo sobre o bem-estar subjetivo na velhice

The elderly population growth in Brazil and in the world is an incontestable reality, arising from a significant declining rate in mortality and fertility, resulting from the remarkable improvements in the quality of life of the people. Associated with the introduction of new technologies in the medical area, these issues have been highly contributing for the increase of the population longevity. The numbers of the elderly in Brazil and in the world show female population predominance within the aging segment, a phenomenon known as the feminisation of the old-age . Aging, therefore, is nowadays one of the primary issues and that has been mobilizing the Brazilian s society, since the development raised from this new reality brought with it enormous challenges and complex social implications which are already felt in the daily lives of the societies. My work experience among some age groups has shown that aging is a much differentiated process which has instigated my interest in understanding why aging has to face an overwhelming and painful experience for some people and enriched and full of signification for others. Overviewing, this research aimed to understand the aging development through the analysis of the processes of signification and production of meaning that permeate the aging and the subjective well-being of three aged women participants of the Project Health and Citizenship on Third Age /CEFET-RN, that evidenced attitudes and behaviors concerning the integration and the activity toward the elderly population. The methodological strategy used was History of Life, starting from collecting data based on deep interviews. The analysis of data evidenced that the elderly well-being is a unique and distinct meaningful experience for each person, concerning each story of their lives within differentiated social, cultural, economic context, from this perspective one can demystify the concept of that aging occurs in a homogeneous way for everyone, everywhere and with the same rhythm. The narratives presented in this research showed the human development as being a dialectic, discursive and interactionist process which extends throughout the adult life and continues to the aging life. The guarantee that development and aging are a parallel phenomenon always in interdependence on the preceding phases of live, are corroborated within the studies. This present study confirms that the elderly population can be a phase of growth, personal realization and continued development, without disrespecting the heterogeneous and the subjectivity of the person who ages. Notifying those healthy and well-succeeded aging experiences, this issue has the intention to contribute to demystify the concept of aging as a social problem, illness needed to be treated, and the stereotypy of the elderly being dependent and unproductive

Concep����es sobre os livros did��ticos de geografia: narrativas autobiogr��ficas de professores do ensino fundamental

O livro did��tico �� um complexo objeto cultural, haja vista ser ao mesmo tempo elemento de intermedia����o nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem, produto comercializado que cont��m o conhecimento para a forma����o do aluno e objeto de compra, pelo Governo Federal, para ser distribu��do para escolas em todo o Brasil. Configura-se, assim, como um produto cultural composto, h��brido, que se encontra no ���cruzamento da cultura, da pedagogia, da produ����o editorial e da sociedade���. (STRAY,1993, p.77-78). Outrossim, o livro did��tico, tradicionalmente, �� ���um dos lugares formais do conhecimento escolar, pelo menos daquele saber julgado necess��rio �� forma����o da sociedade e dos seus indiv��duos��� (MEDEIROS, 2006, p.34) e a materializa����o do seu uso pelo professor encontra-se interconectada pelas representa����es e conceitos constru��dos nas m��ltiplas transi����es na história de vida docente, tendo em vista que a pr��xis humana constr��i-se numa perspectiva retroativa (do presente para o passado), numa hermen��utica social dos atos individuais. �� nesse contexto que se situou a pesquisa, entendida como uma possibilidade de contribui����o significativa ao debate da educa����o geogr��fica, ao propor a compreens��o das concep����es constru��das nas m��ltiplas transi����es na narrativa de vida do docente com o livro did��tico de Geografia. A pesquisa se definiu como um estudo qualitativo, ancorado nas entrevistas narrativas, o qual abrangeu um levantamento de dados sobre as Histórias de vida de professores/professoras dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede p��blica, no intuito de recorrermos ��s suas mem��rias escolares, acad��mica (forma����o inicial) e profissional para situarmos no espa��o-tempo as suas concep����es sobre o livro did��tico de Geografia. O livro did��tico de Geografia foi a ��rea de interesse escolhida, sendo problematizada a partir do seguinte questionamento: quais as concep����es atribu��das pelos professores do Ensino Fundamental aos livros did��ticos de Geografia? As ideias dos professores expressas nas entrevistas narrativas da nossa pesquisa confirmam a conjuntura de indefini����o e superficialidade te��ricometodol��gica sobre o livro did��tico de Geografia, cujas concep����es ficaram restritas aos seus aspectos descritivos, evidenciando a aus��ncia de atribui����es de significados pertinentes a uma reelabora����o te��rica do narrar produzido, como tamb��m, de questionamentos dos princ��pios organizadores das concep����es sistematizadas. Desse modo, as ideias apontadas pelos professores em foco, restringiram-se �� enumera����o dos aspectos caracter��sticos do fen��meno em quest��o ��� o livro did��tico de Geografia ��� na sua superficialidade, isto ��, n��o expressaram elementos que possibilitassem ver as concep����es numa perspectiva macro, destacando-se mais as explica����es das partes e das percep����es isoladas, do que n��veis mais abrangentes de generalidade do referido objeto de estudo. Enfatizamos, por fim, a necess��ria continuidade da pesquisa, e consequentemente, desse processo permanente de reflex��o sobre as concep����es do livro did��tico de Geografia, sendo mister explicitar, portanto, a raz��o hist��rica que as norteiam para que se possa buscar uma pr��tica docente mais crítica e propositiva.

Histórias de ado����o tardia: considera����es a partir da anal��tica existencial heideggeriana

Adoption establishes a filiation status, resulting from a legal act, which attributes to the child and parents the rights and obligations associated with such condition, being legally irrevocable. Nevertheless, in practice there are adoptions that do not concretize and the child returns to justice during or even after the legal process is closed. Late adoption is the denomination of the adoption of children over two years and it is still permeated by myths and stigmas, leading to a frequent return of the child to justice in these cases. The late adoption involves a process of building a unique relationship with a child whose backstory is commonly marked by the dissolution of the relationship with the family of origin, due to violation of rights and, in some cases, the experience of institutional care. Given such a scenario, this research, based on the Existential Analytic proposed by Martin Heidegger, seeks to understand the experience of mothers and children in the process of late adoption, in order to obtain subsidies to psychological attention in this context. This is a qualitative, phenomenological study with a comprehensive focus. The participants were two mothers and two children who have gone through late adoption for about two years. The procedures of data generation contemplated narrative interviews with mothers and individual meetings with children, in which ludic resources were used as mediators of expression (free drawings, unfinished children's story and "Story-Drawings" on late adoption). The procedures were audiotaped and transcribed. Data analysis was grounded in Heidegger's hermeneutics. The late adoption process, permeated by historical, social and cultural determinants and the web of meanings that create the historical singularity of each person involved have proved to be complex as seen in the narratives. The construction of the meanings of parenthood and filiation has been developing in the families in the study, from the experience of being-with-the-other, caring and dwelling in their peculiar modes of expression. The family of origin and the adoptive family mingle and differentiate by means of the experience of children, especially because of the existence of biological siblings. Data point to the importance of psychological care to family core in late adoption processes

Ser cuidador de paciente com acidente vascular cerebral: histórias n��o contadas

The present study aimed to understand the experience of being a family caregiver of a patient with Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA). The relevance of the study is to prove existence of a large number of caregivers of incapacitated patients, due to the CVA and it is not an academic research object, according to the literature. It is a qualitative research, which the guiding principle is the oral history of life, according to the theoretical foundation and operating of Meihy. Therefore, the following steps were highlighted: the target community, composed of all family caregivers of CVA patients; the colony, composed by family caregivers of CVA patients assisted by Home Care Service (HCS) of the Hospital Jos�� Pedro Bezerra (HJPB), in the city of Natal/RN; the network was composed of six caregivers who met the criteria for inclusion, and as zero point the first volunteer group. The population was composed of all family caregivers of patients attended by the HCS, of the HJPB having been addressed through interviews. For the empirical research there was the consent of that institution and approval by the Ethics Committee in Research of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte as CAAE 24569413.0.0000.5537 and, above all, with the acquiescence of employees in participating in the investigation, signing an informed consent. Of the empirical material, five categories of analysis were identified: the sense of being a caregiver; what has changed in the life of the caregiver; the feelings emerge in the relationship of care; the distance from family and friends; difficulties faced by the caregiver. The results show that the caregiver's life goes through profound transformations within the family as well as in all spheres of life. For the caregivers, assuming the care of a relative with CVA means renunciation and donation, compromising sometimes the individual projects and the family as a whole. In addition, they point out the confrontation of difficulties within the the assistance and humanization in healthcare, information, physical and emotional overload, as well as financial problems. Despite all the adversities that compromise the caregiver's life, it was possible to identify attitudes of resilience among caregivers, making them their daily life less strenuous and with more lightness. It is expected, therefore, that this research can contribute to a better orientation of professionals with the caregivers

História oral de vida de pessoas com ��lcera venosa nos servi��os de aten����o prim��ria �� sa��de

The Chronic Venous insufficiency is characterized as a set of physical changes including how most serious complication of venous ulcers, characterized by irregular and progressive loss of continuity of the skin. The occurrence of venous ulcers in people with chronic venous insufficiency generates dependence on them with health services, with long-term treatments that cause limitations and high-impact changes, affecting their quality of life, affecting the physical, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual as an important public health problem. This study aimed to describe the experience of having a venous ulcer, in the scenario of primary health care services to Health, which includes Primary Care Units and Family Health Strategy in the city of Natal / RN, based on the life histories of users. This is a qualitative study, exploratory and descriptive, with the Oral History of Life as a methodological framework. From the ponto zero was the recruitment of participants who formed the network, totaling six employees, of both sexes and aged between 57 and 79 years. After approval by the Research Ethics Committee - UFRN under the Protocol 653 788/2014 and CAAE 30408014.0.0000.5537 was held data collection, between the months of July and August, through interviews, using identification and characterization of the instrument employees and open questions. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, transcriadas and returned to employees for a conference. The narratives were subjected to Content thematic analysis technique, according to Bardin, allowing the construction of three themes that encompass categories, namely: Axis I - Perspectives on the changes: the impact wound in social relations (changes with ulcer venous, venous ulcer and social and family relationships); Axis II - Brands in body and soul: the story of being hurt (conceptions of the body injured; therapeutic itinerary in primary care services); and Axis III - Reconstruction of being hurt: coping mechanisms (redefinition of the wounded body, resilience to chronic wound). The impact of having a chronic venous ulcer generates impact of physical, psychological and social order. As aspects related to changes after the appearance of venous ulcers, survey participants reported the presence of pain, physical limitations, psychological distress, social and emotional isolation, incapacity, aesthetic discomfort and dependency on health services; the family was the aspect thatshowed no significant change after the occurrence of wound for most participants, an ally in the therapeutic process as a support network. The redefinition of the body and the wound are the main coping mechanism of chronic condition. The services in the Primary Care Network play a fundamental role in the rehabilitation of patients with venous ulcers, although there are difficulties in accessing appropriate treatment and need for expanded services, with permanent professional training of health teams and providing the resources managers to strengthen the comprehensive care of people with venous ulcers in Health Primary Care.

Concep����es de administra����o e administrador em tempos de capitalismo flex��vel: uma abordagem crítica

A tese trata de dois construtos s��cio-hist��ricos Administra����o e Administrador em face do capitalismo em sua fase flex��vel. Considerando as mudan��as do capitalismo, o texto estabelece como objeto de estudo as concep����es de Administra����o e Administrador, para o campo administrativo, na contemporaneidade. A tese �� suportada por uma pesquisa de campo cujo objetivo foi compreender criticamente as concep����es do campo administrativo sobre a Administra����o e o Administrador, em tempos de capitalismo flex��vel. Epistemologicamente, a pesquisa foi conduzida a partir da perspectiva crítica frankfurtiana, fundamentada em tr��s pares categ��ricos dial��ticos: (i) história versus naturaliza����o; (ii) pr��xis social versus sistema; e (iii) aliena����o versus emancipa����o; privilegiando o pensamento cr��tico vinculado �� primeira gera����o da Escola de Frankfurt. A literatura prevalente da ��rea de Administra����o foi revisada mediada pelas duas quest��es ontol��gicas que suportam a tese: O que �� Administra����o? e O que �� Administrador? para autores como Taylor, Fayol, Drucker, Ohno, Deming, Champy e Mintzberg. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma pesquisa integralmente qualitativa, com uso de tr��s tipos de entrevistas: (i) entrevista narrativa com história de vida; (ii) entrevista com uso de elementos-est��mulo; e (iii) entrevista narrativa ficcional. Para compreens��o das narrativas, foi utilizada a t��cnica de an��lise hermen��utico-dial��tica. Os resultados indicam o predom��nio da concep����o pragm��tica-instrumental, no tocante �� Administra����o, pela qual ela continua a ser pensada e discursada como uma a����o tecnol��gica e teleol��gica, que utiliza saberes m��ltiplos e aprendizagens cambiantes como meios para alcance das finalidades do contexto organizacional mutante. Com rela����o ao Administrador, h�� a emerg��ncia da concep����o est��tica para apresent��-lo, quando vinculado ��s organiza����es. Por esta concep����o, h�� a migra����o do hist��rico estere��tipo do Administrador controlador e vigilante para a representa����o do Administrador como um profissional perform��tico. O segundo resultado, que se apresenta como o mais relevante em rela����o ao Administrador, �� o da fuga da profiss��o. A partir dos pares categ��ricos dial��ticos, esta tese prop��e algumas s��nteses provis��rias críticas: (i) história-naturaliza����o: os sujeitos tomam como naturais a organiza����o empresarial e suas demandas, naturalizando as recentes mudan��as que, entre outras coisas, reduzem os postos gerenciais; (ii) pr��xis social-sistema: pela concep����o pragm��tica-instrumental, as experi��ncias dos Administradores s��o concebidas a partir do confinamento funcionalista em uma organiza����o-sistema; (iii) emancipa����o-aliena����o: tanto a forma naturalizada com que especificam as organiza����es e sua Administra����o quanto a pr��xis interrompida velada em uma experi��ncia reificada mostram-se como fen��menos intrinsecamente e subjetivamente alienantes e contraemancipat��rios. Por outro lado, atrav��s do movimento de fuga da profiss��o, os entrevistados parecem (re)significar o sil��ncio fundador da aliena����o associada �� condi����o de Administrador: a de pensar como capital, e n��o se pensar como trabalho. Finalmente, o texto prop��e que as possibilidades de emancipa����o deste profissional residem na tomada de consci��ncia de sua condi����o como integrante da classe trabalhadora, mesmo em tempos de riscos e incertezas. Assumindo-se como trabalhador, o Administrador poder�� lutar pelo seu trabalho, repensando-o em novos termos, em que as dimens��es pragm��ticas-instrumentais que envolvem sua profiss��o possam ser dosadas e sempre mediadas por conte��dos substantivos e emancipat��rios
