P&D em filiais de empresas multinacionais instaladas no Brasil

The internationalization of research and development (R&D) activities has been lifted to an eminent role over the last years, how confirm the greater intensity of R&D investment inflows into countries other than the home countries of the multinational enterprises (MNE). As the industrialization of the Brazilian economy has been marked by the presence of MNE, this paper aims to discuss some characteristics of the Brazilian subsidiaries of foreign MNE concerning R&D activities. To do so, we draw on a comprehensive survey applied to MNE affiliates in Brazil in 2006. It allows us to describe the locally-conducted R&D activities, its specificities and perspectives of future inversions. Among its findings, there are evidences pointing that in Brazil the R&D internationalization the phases of investment in manufactures and in R&D may occur almost simultaneously, depending on the sector s involvement in the globalization process.

Políticas Industriais e de Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação na Irlanda: ênfase em setores de alta tecnologia e comparação com o Brasil

From a theoretical foundation favorable to industrial policies, this paper intends to show the main policies followed by Ireland since the 1950s, with a special emphasis on those directed to Science, Technology and Innovation (S,T&I), FDI and high tech sectors, like software and biotechnology. We compare these policies with those used in Brazil, in a similar period, in order to have some hints for virtual transformations of current Brazilian policies. We conclude that the compromise of the State with the direction of the development and the continu-ity of industrial policies is very important to a solid building of comparative advantages in technologically dynamic sectors.

Traduções e torções ou o que se quer dizer quando dizemos queer no Brasil?

Since its arrival in Brazil at the beginning of the new century, queer theory – and particularly that variant of it linked to the works of Judith Butler – has been followed, criticized, contested and yet hardly problematicized in its deeper epistemological implications. Although Brazilian scholars have employed meanings and consistent debates regarding the changes that this axis of subaltern knowledge has provoked, there are still few discussions which seek to think about these contributions in the specific Brazilian context, in which categories of gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity link and cross in unique ways, creating experiences that are quite different from those generally discussed by foreign queer theorists. In the present article, I am trying to provoke an anthropophagic reflection, seeking fruitful dialogues with feminisms and post-colonial texts, emphasizing those that focus upon Latin-American reality, in an attempt create tension in our productions – thought in terms of local realities – as these face questions and issues that are also transnational. The idea here is to go beyond translating "queer", towards thinking of a theory informed by these productions, but which also dares to invent itself through questioning our own marginalized experience. In the present article, I look at the short but intense production of Argentine anthropologist Néstor Perlongher, taking it as one of the starting points for the elaboration of a Latin American (but mainly Brazilian) "teoria cu": that which is produced outside of the phallocentric and heteronormative regimes of canonic science.
