Significados da reforma agrária em bairros periféricos de Presidente Prudente (SP): uma tentativa de diálogo entre a luta pela Terra e a soberania alimentar

La lucha por la tierra en el Brasil se confunde con la própria historia del país, erigida sobre una cuestión agraria turbulenta en la cual ha predominado la hegemonía de los grandes proprietarios de tierra, tanto en la forma de latifundistas, cuanto, más recientemente, de los empresarios del agribusiness, caracterizando una versión más moderna de la dominación de la lógica del capital en detrimento de las demás formas de organización de la vida. A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, ocurre un aguzamiento de los conflictos por la tierra con la emergencia de los principales movimientos sociales en Brasil, como el MST. Esos movimientos surgen en un contexto de transformación de la formación socioespacial brasileña, marcada por la creciente urbanización del país, lo que repercute em las sus formas de organización, pasando a comparecer una preocupación con la población urbana en las discusiones y acciones en pro de la Reforma Agraria. Yuxtaponiendo-se a eso proceso, también ha emergido fortemiente en las últimas décadas la problemática de la hambre en el mundo, tanto a través de los dados alarmantes de los organismos supranacionales (FAO), como del debate impulsado por los movimientos sociales acerca de la Soberanía Alimentaria (Via Campesina). Todos esos elementos merecen atención em esto trabajo, que busca aprehender cómo se efectiva la participación de barrios de la periferia pobre de la ciudad de Presidente Prudente/SP en el proceso de lucha por la tierra en el Pontal del Paranapanema, haciendo eso por lo medio de una lectura geográfica de esa realidad que prime por la superación analítica de la disociación entre ciudad y campo, como se fueran espacios inertes entre sí. Además, es nuestro objetivo destacar las motivaciones que llevan los sujetos protagonistas de eso proceso a dejaren la ciudad y adhieriren a la lucha por la tierra, permitiendo identificar elementos que extrapolan la esfera económico-material

Estrutura lógica como metodologia para avaliação de políticas públicas: uma análise do Pronaf

The National Program for Strengthening Family Agriculture (Pronaf) has included family farmers into the scope of public policies, by following the trends of policies from the 1990s to democratize access to financial resources. Sustainability has been put into the program. In this study, the overall purpose was analyze the objectives of Pronaf, in the context of economic development. We found out that Pronaf would not allow evaluating the relation among activities conducted and results obtained by the program. Thus, it would be inconsistent. Besides analyzing official documents, other specific objectives were to analyze the consistency of Pronaf and, in case of inconsistency, propose a logical framework matrix. No project was found, only the legislation. The analyse of the latter does not allow filling the matrix and this indicates an inconsistency. A full matrix was proposed.

Plantas entre los juruna: en busca de una metodología para el estudio del léxico

This paper presents methodological considerations related to the study of the plant lexicon of the Juruna ethnic group, an indigenous people of the Xingu Indigenous Park, Mato Grosso State, Brazil. The language of this ethnic group, along with that spoken by the Xipaya, belongs to the Juruna family of the Tupi stock. It is a tonal language with SOV syntactic structure (Fargetti 1992, 2007), and presents interesting processes of reduplication (Fargetti 1997). Part of our broader research project on the lexicology and lexicography of the language, research on the Juruna plant lexicon is still in development, together with studies of other semantic fields such as birds, material culture, and kinship relations. However, it is already possible to see interesting linguistic issues involving word formation, as well as issues of the relationship between language and culture (especially those related to “perspectivism”). These issues are presented in this paper.

El humano como recurso de las organizaciones hipermodernas: resonancias del poder gerencialista

Nowadays, the current work perspective is characterized by a management economy in which the accounting and financial considerations overlap the human and social considerations. Therefore, there is a creation of a social imaginary dominated by a capitalist and utilitarist logic. With this in mind, we intend, in this theoretical-reflexive study, learn the power resonances and managerialist ideology for the included subjects in the hypermodern organizations. This way, this research was constructed by the light of Psichosociology. The reading through these approaches emphasizes the imaginary dimension, intersubjective and group of the organizations, contributing to the understanding of job relations and worker's mental health.
