A polícia e os “black blocs”: percepção dos policiais sobre junho de 2013 (versão preliminar)

A mobilização coletiva operada nas ruas e organizada através dos canais de redes sociais é um fenômeno social relativamente recente. No caso brasileiro, junho de 2013 foi singular porque tomou proporções inéditas ao propagar novos movimentos a partir desses canais, criando uma espécie de efeito cascata. Considerando esses eventos, este estudo visa, principalmente, à construção de um quadro interpretativo a partir do olhar do policial sobre essas manifestações e os black blocs, explorando questões relacionadas às instituições de segurança e ao Estado, os procedimentos operacionais e legais, assim como a compreensão sobre as demandas de cidadania. A parte final da análise se ocupa em delinear nexos entre as varáveis abordadas.

Policiais dizem não ter recebido treinamento para lidar com black blocs, segundo survey

Policiais militares e civis consideram não ter recebido orientações e treinamento adequados para lidar com as manifestações e enfrentar os black blocs, segundo pesquisa realizada pela DAPP. De acordo com a websurvey 63% dos profissionais afirmam não possuir o preparo necessário para enfrentar ao manifestantes adeptos à tática de manifestação, contra 24% que dizem se considerar preparados. A pesquisa foi realizada pela internet no mês de dezembro e ouviu 5.304 de policiais civis e militares de todo o Brasil.

Black Bloc, mídia e identidade: um estudo sobre como o jornal O Estado de S. Paulo propôs uma identidade ao grupo de manifestantes Black Blocs

O presente trabalho busca analisar a identidade proposta pelo jornal impresso O Estado de S. Paulo ao grupo manifestante Black Bloc durante o segundo semestre de 2013, período seguinte às Jornadas de Junho na cidade de São Paulo. Serão analisadas as notícias veiculadas no portal de notícias do jornal, assim como as publicações do grupo de manifestantes na página oficial do Black Bloc SP do Facebook na mesma época. O objetivo é mostrar qual a relação entre a identidade atribuída pela grande mídia ao indivíduo e a identidade reivindicada pelo mesmo na rede social

Em pesquisa, 64% dos policiais assumem não ter treinamento adequado para lidar com protestos

Apenas 10% apontaram como correto o comportamento dos policiais nas manifestações Outros 19% responderam que ‘alguns colegas não agiram da forma certa, mas não se pode generalizar’ Manifestantes fugindo de bombas de gás lacrimogêneo e vandalismo eram cenas finais de um enredo que se tornou conhecido no fim de muitos protestos, desde de junho do ano passado. Sete meses depois de a população tomar as ruas, uma pesquisa da Fundação Getulio Vargas ( FGV ) revela como as próprias forças de segurança se sentem despreparadas para agir diante dos grandes atos — que prometem se repetir durante a Copa do Mundo. Ao todo, 64% dos policiais militares e civis entrevistados admitiram não ter recebido orientação e treinamento adequado para lidar com as manifestações e os black blocs.

Policiais admitem não saber agir em protestos

Pesquisa da FGV mostra que 69% reclamam da falta de orientação e treinamento adequado Uma pesquisa da FGV ( Fundação Getulio Vargas ) com 5.304 policiais em todo o país (4.499 militares e 805 civis) mostrou que 64% dos agentes de segurança dos estados admitem não estar preparados para agir durante uma manifestação popular. Eles reclamam, principalmente, da falta de orientação e treinamento adequado para atuar nessas situações.

Policiais não sabem como conter protestos violentos

A pesquisa sobre a percepção dos policiais a respeito dos manifestantes e do movimento black bloc, produzida pela Diretoria de Análise de Políticas Públicas (DAPP- FGV ) e obtida pelo GLOBO, fez um raio X do que pensam os policiais sobre os protestos, os black blocs e sua própria forma de agir diante deles. Foram feitas 5.304 entrevistas, sendo 4.499 com policiais militares e 805 com policiais civis de todas as regiões do país. O levantamento foi realizado pela internet, a partir de um cadastro que reúne nomes desses profissionais de todo o Brasil, entre 26 de novembro de 2013 e 14 de janeiro deste ano.

The foraging behaviour of the Black rat (Rattus rattus) within Australian macadamia orchards

The black rat (Rattus rattus) has been shown to be the primary species responsible for causing significant crop losses within the Australian macadamia industry. This species success within macadamia orchards is directly related to the flexibility expressed in its foraging behaviour. In this paper a conceptual foraging model is presented which proposes that the utilisation of resources by rodents within various components of the system is related not only to their relative abundance, but also to predator avoidance behaviour. Nut removal from high predation risk habitats during periods of low resource abundance in low risk compartments of the system is considered an essential behaviour that allows high rodent densities to be maintained throughout the year.

'Black is beautiful', and Indigenous : Aboriginal authorship in Australian popular music

The ‘black is beautiful’ movement began in the United States in the early sixties, and changed mainstream attitudes towards the body, fashion and personal aesthetics, gaining African American people a new sense of pride in being – and being called – ‘black’. In Australia the movement also had implications for changing the political meanings of ‘black’ in white society. However, it is not until the last decade, through the global influence of Afro-American music, that a distinctly Indigenous sense of black sexiness has captured the attention of mainstream audiences. The article examines such recent developments, and suggests that, through the appropriation of Afro-American aesthetics and styles, Indigenous producers and performers have developed new forms of Indigenous public agency, demonstrating that black is beautiful, and Indigenous.

Cherbourg time : young black and deadly art 2003-2007

Art is most often at the margins of community life, seen as a distraction or entertainment only; an individual’s whim. It is generally seen as without a useful role to play in that community. This is a perception of grown-ups; children seem readily to accept an engagement with art making. Our research has shown that when an individual is drawn into a crafted art project where they have an actual involvement with the direction and production of the art work, then they become deeply engaged on multiple levels. This is true of all age groups. Artists skilled in community collaboration are able to produce art of value that transcends the usual judgements of worth. It gives people a licence to unfetter their imagination and then cooperatively be drawn back to a reachable visual solution. If you engage with children in a community, you engage the extended family at some point. The primary methodology was to produce a series of educationally valid projects at the Cherbourg State School that had a resonance into that community, then revisit and refine them where necessary and develop a new series that extended all of the positive aspects of them. This was done over a period of five years. The art made during this time is excellent. The children know it, as do their families, staff at the school, members of the local community and the others who have viewed it in exhibitions in far places like Brisbane and Melbourne. This art and the way it has been made has been acknowledged as useful by the children, teachers and the community, in educational and social terms. The school is a better place to be. This has been acknowledged by the children, teachers and the community The art making of the last five years has become an integral part of the way the school now operates and the influence of that has begun to seep into other parts of the community. Art needs to be taken from the margins and put to work at the centre.

Investigating international accounting standard setting : the black box of IFRS 6

This paper examines the role of powerful entities and coalitions in shaping international accounting standards. Specifically, the focus is on the process by which the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) developed IFRS 6, Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. In its Issues Paper, the IASB recommended that the successful efforts method be mandated for pre-production costs, eliminating the choice previously available between full cost and successful efforts methods. In spite of the endorsement of this view by a majority of the constituents who responded to the Issues Paper, the final outcome changed nothing, with choice being retained. A compelling explanation of this disparity between the visible inputs and outputs of the standard setting process is the existence of a “black box”, in which powerful extractive industries entities and coalitions covertly influenced the IASB to secure their own ends and ensure that the status quo was maintained

Left vs right in black and white : a review

LIKE much of the work that David Williamson is known for, Let the Sunshine concentrates on tensions between characters who operate mainly as mouthpieces for opposing ideologies. Left-wing documentary-maker Toby and his wife Ros have moved to Noosa to escape the rat race in Sydney and some bad press surrounding one of Toby's projects. Trying to make social connections in town, Ros has reconnected with high school classmate Natasha, now the cosmetically-enhanced wife of wealthy right-wing property developer Ron. The posturing and conflict between Toby and Ron come to a head when the women invite their grown children -- struggling songwriter Rick and stressed corporate lawyer Emma -- to dinner to celebrate Toby's birthday, and the results of this encounter drive the rest of the plot. The scenario of Let the Sunshine is contrived, the characters are stereotyped, and their conflicts are little more than an old clash of ideologies cast loosely across the mainstream news media's characterisation of the sides in debates about development, climate change and the economic crisis.

It really is black and white when you look at it like this : reporting on a study into Australian professors' research and teaching priorities

Despite optimistic claims about the research-teaching nexus, Australian academics still face tension between research and teaching. The teaching and research priorities, beliefs and behaviours of 70 Professorial and Associate Professorial academics in Science, Information Technology and Engineering were examined in this study. The academics from 4 faculties in 3 Australian universities, were asked to rank 16 research activities and 16 matched learning and teaching (L&T) activities from each of three perspectives: job satisfaction, leadership behaviour, and perceptions of professional importance. The findings, which were remarkably consistent across the three universities, were unequivocally in favour of Research. The only L&T activity that was ranked consistently well was “Improving student satisfaction ratings for Teaching”. The data demonstrates that Australian government and university initiatives to raise the status of L&T activity are not impacting significantly on Australia’s future leaders of university learning.

'The black hole of our history' : a conversation with Louis Nowra

This is an edited version of an interview recorded for Canadian Theatre Review in 1992. By that time Nowra had established a reputation as one of Australia's foremost playwrights. Part of the generation which succeeded the New Wave of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Nowra became known for a stylistic inventiveness which placed him outside the tradition of realist playwriting in Australia. The international outlook in his early plays, and the fact that he was not exclusively preoccupied with Australian settings and subject matter, was often a focal point in critical accounts of his work. In this interview Nowra discusses his 'internationalism', and a range of topics including the playwriting process; the presence of landscape in his plays; and the autobiographical elements in his work.
